Chapter Seventy-Six: East and West (I)
Qi Niang kept pulling Eleven Niang to talk, and the two fell asleep in a daze until the second half of the night. was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by Amber: "Miss Seven, Miss Eleven, the person who combed Miss Five's hair is here." ”
The two of them hurriedly got up, were served by the maid and freshened up, then hastily ate breakfast and went to Wu Niang's place.
The house was brightly lit. Mother Jiang sat with a fat white woman in her forties and drank tea. Seeing Qi Niang and Eleven Niang, Jiang's mother hurriedly stood up and introduced the two: "This is the wife of Bo Zhang Peiyun, the master of Honglu Temple. ”
I think it's the person who invited Wu Niang to comb her hair.
The two saluted, and Qi Niang shouted: "Hey, why don't you see Wu Niang?" ”
Sui'er, who was holding tea for them, said with a smile: "I'm about to take a bath!" ”
"Why is she so slow?" Qi Niang complained, "Be careful of mistaking the auspicious time." ”
"It won't be wrong, it won't be wrong." Mrs. Nazhang said with a smile, "The groom's sedan chair will be sent at noon, and it will not be too late to come until the time of Shen You." ”
"It's so late!" Qi Niang was very surprised, "When the fourth sister got married, I remember that it seemed to be sent early in the morning." ”
"Miss Seven's fourth sister is married far away!" Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "If you marry far away, the bride's family usually gets married early in the morning." Like Qian Gongzi, everyone lives in the same city, but they can arrive in an hour, so they can naturally send a sedan chair later - just in time for the auspicious time! ”
Qi Niang said "um" and said, "My fourth sister is married from Yuhang to Fuyang. ”
"That's it." Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Each family is different. ”
Qi Niang saw that she was very familiar with the various etiquettes of marriage, and knew that she was a lady who often gave people Quanfu, so she talked to her carefully.
“…… What should I do on the road? So far! ”
"If you take the waterway, when the sedan chair is on the boat, you can temporarily take off the wedding dress and rest for a while. When you arrive at the place, the male family will find a place for the female family to marry the girl, and when it comes to the auspicious time, the sedan chair will be married according to the line. If you take the dry road, then the bride will have to work harder, and she will have to eat and sleep in the sedan chair......"
As he was talking, the eldest lady and the eldest * grandmother came.
The eldest lady wore a royal blue gourd double happiness pattern all over the gold jacket today, and the big * milk wore a big red hundred butterflies all over the place this year, and both of them looked refreshed.
Everyone smiled and got up to salute, and as soon as they sat down, Wu Niang bathed out.
There was a faint flush on her white and tender face, which looked very delicate and moving.
"Wu Niang, you are so beautiful today." Qi Niang's praise made Wu Niang's eyes a little shy.
She stepped forward to salute the eldest lady and the eldest grandmother.
The eldest lady looked at her with a smile and a very pleased expression: "In the blink of an eye, I am going to get married." ”
Wu Niang's eyes were a little moist.
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "That's a good thing! ”
When the eldest lady heard this, she laughed, burned incense accompanied by the eldest grandmother, told her ancestors, and then asked Mrs. Zhang to comb Wu Niang's hair.
The maids sat in front of the dresser with Wu Niang, and Mrs. Zhang picked up the boxwood comb that had been prepared and combed it from head to tail, combing one side, and saying the auspicious words of "one comb to the end, two combs of white hair to the eyebrows, and three combs of children and grandchildren". After the ceremony, I also brought lily, red dates, lotus seeds, and soup balls to Wu Niang to eat.
Qi Niang whispered to Eleven Niang on the side and smiled: "We will also go and ask for a bowl to eat." ”
"I see, you don't want to eat ......" Eleven Niang teased her.
Qi Niang poked Eleven Niang with a flushed face, Eleven Niang smiled and avoided her, and the eldest lady suddenly looked over.
The two of them hurriedly straightened up.
Mrs. Zhang helped Wu Niang change her wedding dress and comb her hair.
During this period, someone came to the eldest wife, saying that the second and third wives were coming.
The eldest lady took the big * milk to greet her, and Qi Niang also followed. After a while, she folded back with the second and third wives. Eleven Niang hurriedly stepped forward to salute the two aunts, and everyone sat down with a smile to watch Wu Niang's dress.
Gradually, there were more people, and the house became noisy.
Wu Niang dressed up, and it was noon, Qi Niang and Eleven Niang accompanied Wu Niang to eat in the house, and the others went to the outside room to sit down.
Qi Niang and Eleven Niang slept late, got up early, and after eating, the two yawned.
Wu Niang didn't feel sleepy at all, and asked Ziwei from time to time, "Do you have my pair of shoelaces embroidered with Magu's birthday", "Where is my sweat towel with red and gold", looking very nervous.
Qi Niang was laughing on the side.
Wu Niang ignored her at all.
After a while, the people who finished eating came back one after another, and Qi Niang took the opportunity to pull Eleven Niang back to the house to rest: "...... No one will notice anyway. ”
Eleven Niang also felt tired, and the two of them fell asleep with their clothes upside down.
I don't know how long it took, Amber came over and called out to the two: "...... The bridegroom came. ”
The two of them got up at once, asked the maid to comb her hair again, and hurried to Wu Niang's place.
There were only a few people scattered in Wu Niang's house, Qi Niang couldn't help but be stunned, and Eleven Niang heard a burst of warm laughter outside.
She smiled: "I'm afraid I'll go to the front to see the excitement." ”
Qi Niang nodded. I saw Zhuo Tao running in with excitement on her face: "Miss, the uncle came up with ten riddles, saying that the uncle will open the door if he passes the pass, and he won't open the door if he can't pass the pass." My uncle is so amazing, I got it all right in one go. ”
"Really, really." Wu Niang hadn't spoken yet, but Qi Niang was happy and pulled Eleven Niang, "Let's go and have a look." ”
"Don't go!" Eleven Niang smiled, "Since the fifth brother-in-law has answered, the person to marry should come soon......"
Qi Niang couldn't help but be discouraged.
Zhuo Tao smiled and said, "Miss Seven can go if she wants to!" I don't think this door will be open for a while. ”
The people in the room were stunned.
Zhuo Tao covered her mouth and smiled: "The fourth aunt went up again." This time, there is no riddle, but the Analects. Let my uncle answer 'There must be my teacher in a threesome'......"
Wu Niang couldn't help but hurriedly said: "How the eldest brother talks doesn't count." ”
The room was full of laughter.
Wu Niang's face was flushed with shame.
Zhuo Tao said, "Uncle said the same thing." As a result, the uncle said, you have passed my level, but I didn't say that I am the only one! ”
Qi Niang listened very interestingly, and pulled Eleven Niang and ran out: "Wu Niang, let's help you take a look!" ”
Eleven Niang also found it interesting and followed Qi Niang to the main courtyard.
Then he saw that the door of the hanging flower was closed, and a ladder was set up next to the door to get out of the wall. Yu Yiqing was standing on the ladder and answering the people outside.
“…… This sentence is barely right. Answer this sentence again. The root of the cure is the Tao, and the Tao is based on virtue. Ancient and modern rulers must compromise with Confucius, and Confucius told Lu Jun to govern in the Nine Classics, and attributed to the Three Virtues. To the Song Dynasty Sima Guangyan: There are three great virtues: Ren, Ming, Mingwu, and Confucius? ”
"It's not a strategy." As soon as Yu Zhiqing's words fell, Luo Zhenxing was the first to jump out and object, "Change one!" ”
Yu Zhiqing laughed and said to everyone: "If you see it, this will help." ”
There was a burst of laughter inside and outside the courtyard.
Someone shouted: "Uncle Qian, you can't live up to our uncle's heart." ”
"Rest assured, rest assured." Qian Ming's answer came from outside the door.
After everyone laughed, they all calmed down and listened to Qian Ming's answer.
There was silence inside and outside the door.
Eleven Niang found that Qi Niang's hand was tightly clenched into a fist.
After a while, Qian Ming's clear voice came slowly: "What is Daben?" The abyss is slight, and the friends who reach all the feelings, concentrate on the dignified and quiet one, and blend inseamlessly. What is the big machine? Judging the appropriateness of the situation, and when pushing the volume, it is inclusive and not appeased; The seer is not lost in the scrutiny, the general decision, not too harsh, the view of change in the movement of the yin and yang, and the one who has no trace of the cut is his own ......"
This is the standard policy answer.
Eleven Niang was very surprised.
Qian Ming, there is a real talent!
And Yu Zhiqing, who tested him, gradually faded from the smile and banter on his face, and was replaced by Duanning, and Luo Zhenxing listened attentively.
“…… If the order is used to cure the rule but not to be virtuous, even if there are facilities to inject it, it will also fall into private wisdom and petty tricks, and the implementation will be inaccurate. Why is it the root of the end of the sky, and everything is in Yongxi? If you don't use the opportunity to cultivate virtue, you will be prejudiced and ignorant, even if you have some wisdom and considerations......"
"Good!" Suddenly, there was a loud cheer.
The people followed the prestige.
I saw the old man striding down the steps with excitement on his face.
"Even if there are facilities to inject into the house, they will also fall into private wisdom, and although they have some scheming and wisdom, they will also be prejudiced and ignorant!" He stopped in the middle of the courtyard and said loudly, "Open the door and welcome my Luo family's son-in-law!" ”
Everyone was stunned.
Luo Zhenxing said happily: "Quick, quick, open the door!" ”
The little guy next to him understood and hurriedly opened the door.
Someone cried "wow": "I haven't taken my red envelope yet!" ”
When everyone saw it, it turned out to be the fifth master Luo Zhenkai.
The laughter in the courtyard resumed, lively and cheerful.
The eldest lady, who was sitting in the second room of the west wing and waiting for her son-in-law to come and salute, called Xu's mother: "Go, seal another hundred taels of silver." ”
Mother Xu understood, went to the inner room to open the box and took a silver ticket of one hundred silver, plus the previous forty taels, a total of one hundred and forty taels, and sealed a red envelope.
After Qian Ming drank tea three times in the hall, he went to the eldest lady to salute.
The eldest lady gave him a red seal with a smile, and said earnestly: "Wu Niang grew up under my knees since she was a child, and I entrust her to you now, you have to take good care of her." ”
Qian Ming, who was wearing a big red wedding robe, was in good spirits. He respectfully knelt down and kowtowed to the eldest lady three times: "Mother-in-law, don't worry." I will definitely take good care of Miss Five. ”
The eldest lady nodded: "You have to remember your words!" ”
Qian Ming nodded hurriedly: "I will never violate my words." ”
The protocol invited Qian Ming to the hall to salute everyone in the Luo family - no matter how old or young, he bowed respectfully.
Luo Zhenkai looked at it, and his eyes rolled straight.
After the salute, according to the rules, the Luo brothers wanted to give Qian Ming a horse wine.
Luo Zhenxing just took the wine glass, and Luo Zhenkai didn't know where to get out.
He held a sea bowl: "Fifth brother-in-law, I also want to respect you!" As he spoke, he raised his head and drank a full drink, and then instructed the little guy next to him: "Go, pour a bowl of wine for the fifth aunt according to the fifth master." ”
The little guy galloped away.
How could he be a small child and drink such a bowl of wine. Most of it is filled with water.
The eldest man couldn't help but make a straight face: "Nonsense!" ”
Luo Zhenkai was startled and shrank behind Luo Zhenxing.
Qian Ming didn't care: "Grandpa is still lying in the cradle." Respect and inferiority do not distinguish between ages. Since my uncle toasted me, there is no reason why I should not drink it. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the little guy had already brought a bowl of wine.
Qian Ming didn't say a word, took it and drank it all.
Luo Zhenkai was dumbfounded.
Others cheered.
The matchmaker of the Qian family looked at it and immediately gave Lile a look.
Lile is well-informed, and if he doesn't understand, he blows gongs, drums, and firecrackers, urging him to pick up the bride.
