Chapter 5: Welcome
Outside the gate of Sufu, Li Bozhou was dressed in red, and Yushu stood quietly beside the jujube flower horse in the wind, staring at the copper ring on the gate of Sufu, and the bits and pieces of getting along with Jingshu in the past kept flashing in his mind.
Li Bozhou walked forward quickly, helping Su Jingshu to walk towards the sedan chair. The sound of firecrackers, the sound of joy, the sound of praise, the noise of the guests...... Jingshu couldn't hear anything, she only felt the tremor from her arms and the heat transmitted through the layers of wedding dresses. It turned out that he was also nervous, and she rejoiced in her heart.
Su Zhe watched his daughter walk towards the sedan chair step by step, the back that resembled Ajing reminded him of many years ago, when Ajing also moved the lotus step lightly and leaned into the sedan chair. Husband and wife have shared joys and sorrows for 20 years, and both children have been complete, and when they left the officialdom and lived a leisurely life, Ah Jing was riddled with illness and left him.
Thirteen-year-old Su Jin stood beside his father like a little adult, looking at the red shadow of his sister who had not entered the sedan chair, his eyes were slightly wet, he had passed the age of being naughty and mischievous, and his temperament has gradually become calm in recent years, and he has also learned more about human feelings. The only sister got married, and even though he was reluctant in his heart, he tried his best to restrain himself from revealing it. My sister went to the Li Mansion, and only my father and herself were left at home, and the courtyard of Nuoda was empty. looked up at the white hair in his father's ear next to him, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must get ahead and honor his father more than before.
When the bride entered the sedan chair, Li Bozhou turned around and bowed deeply to his father-in-law, and then turned over and got on the horse.
"Up!" The sedan chair was lifted steadily, the joy of blowing and beating covered the conversation and laughter of the guests, and the welcoming procession slowly moved forward. Xu Qinghe watched his cousin get married, thinking that his marriage did not know when and what month it appeared, and he felt a little lonely and depressed at the moment.
When the team disappeared at the end of the long street, Su Zhe returned home with the support of Su Jin and Xu Qinghe.
"Uncle doesn't have to be so sad, the two families are close to each other, it's easy to move around, and my cousin can come back to see you at any time. In time, maybe there will be a few grandsons to your knees! Xu Qinghe smiled and comforted. The only daughter is married, and it is normal for a father to feel uncomfortable.
When Su Zhe heard this, he smiled with a wrinkled face, but thinking that he was sick, he didn't know if he could wait until that day. looked at the two juniors beside him, and said softly: "You guys go play by yourself, I'll go and rest for a while." ”
After finishing speaking, a maid came forward to help Su Zhe, and Xu Qinghe had no choice but to withdraw from the room with Su Jin. Seeing Su Jin following behind him without saying a word, Xu Qinghe asked with a smile, "Little cousin, what are you doing with me?" ”
Su Jin raised a pair of sparkling eyes, looked at her cousin and said, "Naturally, I accompanied my cousin to drink wedding wine." Hearing this, Xu Qinghe patted his little cousin's head and grinned, "How many taels of wine can you drink with this little body?" Don't ask me to carry you back when the time comes. I have to tell you in advance, I don't have the patience to throw you down the street when the time comes, and I won't freeze you! ”
Su Jin rolled her eyes and went out of the house by herself past her unserious cousin. Xu Qinghe hurriedly followed, still grinning and teasing: "It is worthy of being a sister and brother, this white eye is exactly the same as Jingshu." ”
Dongping Street, Li Mansion. The lights are colorful, and the guests are full.
Li Qin dressed up early in the morning to entertain guests in the house, and ninety-nine tables were set up in the front yard, full of friends. The Li family is one of the largest families in Meizhou City, with a lot of money, and they are low-key on weekdays. This time, when the only son is married, the family will spend money in a high-profile manner, and the largest Dongyue restaurant in the city was booked early in the morning, and the venue was chartered for three days to hold a flowing water banquet, and everyone in Meizhou City can go to enjoy.
Li Qin was talking to his uncle, and the little girl stepped forward to whisper a few words, and suddenly frowned, told his uncle for his crimes, and walked towards the main hall. Two tables of banquets were set up on both sides of the main hall, and relatives and friends and dignitaries were seated.
As soon as Li Qin entered, he saw his younger brother Li Zhan with a smiling face, and frequently toasted to the county commander Shen Ye. I was very disgusted in my heart, but I didn't want to accuse it in person, so I stepped forward and said softly: "If you have something to discuss with your nephew, please move to the study." At the same time, he blocked Li Zhan sideways without a trace.
Li Zhan said unhappily: "Big brother, Lord Shen is drinking with me!" On this day of great joy, what is important must be discussed at this time! ”
Li Qin swept over with a glance and said in a deep voice: "Uncle and uncle are waiting over there, you go and say hello." On the nephew's side, I will personally entertain you. ”
Shen Ye was impatient with Li Zhan's sycophancy, and he couldn't talk about it if he didn't drink on a festive day. immediately stood up and went to the study with Li Qin.
Who knew that Li Qin led him to the Huxin Pavilion and said softly: "It's quiet here, suitable for the virtuous nephew to sober up." The foolish brother was reckless, and asked the virtuous nephew to forgive me. ”
Shen Ye hurriedly replied: "Uncle is serious, on a happy day, it is normal for people to be happy." The two of them excused themselves and sat down in the pavilion to talk. After a while, a servant stepped forward to tell the Lin family to send a congratulatory gift, and Li Qin got up to say goodbye and left, leaving Shen Ye to enjoy the scenery in the pavilion.
Lin Cheng came to the Li Mansion with a temporary congratulatory gift, and the dazzling red was shouting for that man's victory. He tried his best to restrain the thousands of thoughts in his heart, raised a smiling face, and arched his hand to Li Qin, who was approaching him, and said, "Congratulations to Uncle Li for winning this good daughter-in-law." ”
Li Qin returned the salute and said with a smile: "Thank you, nephew, it is a blessing for my son to marry the Su family." Nephew, please sit inside. Lin Cheng forced a smile and walked in with Li Qin.
The auspicious time has arrived, and I saw the groom and the bride holding the two ends of the colored ball and red silk, and slowly walked towards the main hall. Lin Cheng looked at the shadow that was getting closer and closer, and gradually coincided with Jingshu in the dream wearing a phoenix crown, and his heart fluctuated violently.
Li Bozhou's heart was on the bride, but he didn't notice Lin Cheng's abnormality. After the ceremony, the newlyweds were sent into the cave room, and the banquet was officially opened in the front hall.
Su Jin waited until her sister was sent into the cave room after the gift, and then hurriedly pulled her cousin around the crowd and walked to the backyard. Xu Qinghe was lazily dragged away by his little cousin, and said with a smile: "What's the hurry!" We'll have to go slowly, they're still saluting in the cave, and we can't go in until your brother-in-law comes out." Su Jin had no choice but to slow down and accompany her cousin to walk slowly towards the new house.
"The Li family's yard is not bad, huh? And dug such a big lake! It's a luxury. Xu Qinghe came to the backyard of the Li family for the first time, and at first glance, he was amazed by the light and water of the lake. Su Jin had been here a few times before, and she didn't think it was anything unusual. He pointed to the delicate pavilion in the center of the lake and asked, "Cousin, do you want to go to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery?" ”
