Chapter Seventy-Seven: There Are Pits
The geese are sent in the door, and it is said that it will be some time before the bride will go out. During this time, the bridegroom's family will be invited into the tea house set up by the bride's family. Usually, after these people have eaten and drunk enough, and after they have rested enough, they will order the musicians in the team to play music and sing songs to urge the bride to get into the sedan chair.
But now, the person sent by the Dingbei Hou Mansion to greet the relatives saw that the bride had already sat firmly in the sedan chair before the chair was hot. And the groom also lowered the sedan curtain, and turned over on the horse with a natural face.
Although the rhythm is not right. But the bride has already got on the sedan chair, and the groom has also got on the horse, and the procedure that should be carried out must continue.
Before they could take a sip of the hot tea, the musicians immediately started blowing and snorting, while the singer remained silent. - The brides are all on the sedan chair, and they are singing a wedding song.
Wan Wan got on the sedan too fast and did not make a final farewell salute before getting on the sedan chair. After a group of chivalrous women who played the role of female relatives looked at each other for a moment, one of them finally wittily skipped this item. Directly shouted to Fengqing City: "The bride leads the door, and the ceremony must be heavy." The new aunt has prepared 100,000 good gold? ”
This is asking the groom for a red envelope. If it is an ordinary family, the groom official will reply with a sentence such as "Since ancient times, gentlemen do not bring gold", and then someone in the welcoming procession will throw out some red envelopes wrapped in one or two copper plates for the onlookers to snatch, and it will be lively and festive.
If it is a wealthy family, the groom will either humbly sing back a few words or smile silently. The red envelopes thrown out of the welcoming team also wrapped one or two copper plates, but the number of red envelopes was very large. Some families will also sandwich some cakes and sweets in them.
Like a family like Dingbei Hou Mansion, the number of red envelopes thrown out is quite considerable. Therefore, it is not only a group of onlookers who are ready to grab red envelopes, but also many adults. After listening to the words of the woman urging for red envelopes, whether they know martial arts or not, they are all gearing up and ready to go.
The happy smile on Feng Qingcheng's face changed to a bright one, "Jin brought some, but I didn't have time to weigh it, I don't know if it's enough for 100,000." ”
With his words, twelve delicate-looking teenagers walked out of the welcoming procession that had just been sorted out, and they raised their hands to be a dazzling golden rain.
has the good hand of the hidden weapon, swaying his body to copy left and right, and instantly grabbed a small handful in his hand. In the crackling sound, I opened my palm and took a look, only to see a hand full of small golden beans.
In the crowded streets and alleys, there was silence for a moment. The atmosphere was unprecedentedly warm.
What is the best in Kyoto? What is a man who has stood at the pinnacle of Kyoto's world for many years?
That's it!
Marrying a relative will also set a new record for losers.
How nice it would be to have such a bunch of stumbling again!
The Jianghu guests who came to see off their relatives entered the carnival of snatching golden beans together with the onlookers of Kyoto. Those civil and military attachés were reserved for a moment at first, but after all, they all rolled up their sleeves and participated in with a smile.
Twelve teenagers walked with the procession of welcoming their relatives while throwing golden beans. In the golden rain spread all over the sky, Wan Wan's sedan chair went out of this alley.
Wan Wan didn't know that there was a rain of golden beans outside the sedan chair, so she was still sitting safely. I could hear the hustle and bustle outside, and feel the speed of the sedan chair. Her heart was full of excitement - although she hadn't touched the heart of the male god yet, the man of the male god was about to be hers.
In Wan Wan's joy and joy, in the crowd of the people of Kyoto, the sedan chair finally stopped in front of the gate of the Dingbei Hou Mansion.
got off the sedan chair and was greeted by a silver basin filled with clear water.
This etiquette Tao Xiangdai talked to Wan Wan. This is to ask the bride to wash her hands and dust to show the solemnity and purity of the following ceremony.
The ceremony of getting married is far more complicated than Wan Wan knew in her previous life. It's not as simple as worshipping heaven and earth, worshipping the high hall twice, and then worshipping husband and wife. First of all, we must worship the ancestors of the family temple, and this alone has tossed for most of the hour. After worshipping the ancestors, you must also worship the relatives and elders in turn. More than half an hour passed.
Time is wasted, and etiquette rules are even more cumbersome. Both of these rituals begin and end with a person walking backwards. When he entered the door, he asked Feng Qingcheng to walk backwards, and walked into the ancestral hall with a piece of jade wat holding Wan Wan's hand. After saying goodbye and going out, she had to walk backwards, and with the support of the girl Xi Po, she pulled Fengqingcheng back to the room with a concentric knot.
It was only in the new house that the husband and wife worshipped each other.
Walking upside down is very uncomfortable, but Wan Wan is also enjoying it. Although she is separated by a red hijab, she is face to face with the male god throughout the whole process of walking. Just think about the beauty of life.
The ritual of worship is also cumbersome and elaborate. It was a long toss again, and finally the hijab on Wan Wan's head was lifted, but what appeared in front of her was not Fengqing City, but a large copper basin full of clear water.
Wan Wan looked around, only to find that Feng Qingcheng was standing by her side, stretching out her hand to wash in another copper basin. Sensing Wan Wan's gaze, he turned his head slightly and smiled. Screamed Wanwan for a while.
Dizzy, Wan Wan washed her hands under the service of the girl and Xi Po. Sit down at a large table full of delicacies, and sit opposite Fengqing City.
The table is not small, and the dishes on it are also dazzling. However, this is just a ritual, and the only thing that really makes the two of them eat is a piece of meat.
Husbands and wives sit at the same table, eat together, and eat together a piece of meat from the sacrificial animal, which is the same prison ceremony. A piece of meat that is so small that it is not as big as an elimination pill is entered, and this is considered to be completed. Someone immediately brought a gourd tied with red silk and painted with gold paint. When they came to the two of them, they drew the red silk, and the gourd was divided into two delicate scoops.
The two-petal gourd scoop was filled with some wine and presented to the two of them.
The wine scoop started Wanwan only to find that this gourd was not coated with gold paint, but was made of gold as a whole.
Wan Wan knew that this was a joint ceremony, and the wine would be bitter. Husband and wife drink wine together, which means that husband and wife are one, and they will always be married together, sharing joys and sorrows.
What Wan Wan didn't know was that after the ceremony, she would throw the scoop or cup of wine to the ground. Usually the bride throws it hard, and the groom throws it gently. It makes the bride's wine vessel bounce out after it lands, and the groom's does not move after it lands. Such a jump, a standing still is a good sign for many sons.
This kind of omen seeking good omen is only prevalent in Kyoto, and Tao Xiangdai had previously consulted the Dingbei Hou Mansion about the etiquette and customs, and the reply was that it should be done in accordance with the customs of the northern land. Therefore, Tao Xiangdai did not talk to Wan Wan about this link.
At this time, after drinking a scoop of wine, Wan Wan heard the Xi Po on the side shouting: "Madame, hurry up and throw it." Use some strength. ”
Wan Wan looked over blankly. When everyone saw her uncertain face, they all reminded her.
"Madame, please throw the golden scoop."
"Throw hard! The harder, the better! ”
......。
A person's prompt is not yet aware of anything, and when a group of enthusiastic prompts begin, the atmosphere is inexplicably tense and rapid.
In this way, although Wan Wan still didn't know why, she still followed everyone's prompts, and hurriedly and seriously threw the golden scoop in her hand.
The golden light streaked through the air, and only an indescribable muffled sound was heard accompanied by the cracking of stones.
Everyone followed the light and followed the sound, only to see a large hole in the delicate carpet, and a delicate gold scoop embedded in the smooth and flat bluestone floor tile below, and some small broken stones were scattered around.
The scene where the golden scoop landed was really miserable.
Whether you are a martial arts practitioner or not, you know that it is far easier to break through hard objects than soft fabrics. What's more, for ordinary people, it is already difficult to penetrate hard objects. And at this moment, this bride, the new Mrs. Hou of Dingbei Mansion, smashed the soft carpet with such an understatement, and threw the golden scoop into the bluestone floor tiles.
Unlike everyone else, the Xi Po who was in charge of picking up the golden scoop did not feel shocked and frightened. At this moment, her heart was full of tears. - How do you pick this up?! Even if you pull it out, you can't pull it up.
