Chapter 6 Weddings
Early the next morning, there was a jubilant scene up and down the original village. Everyone here knows that Xiao Xiao, the handsome daughter, is getting married. And this Chenglong fast son-in-law is the well-known promising young man Lakshen in the village. Everyone was blessing the young couple, because they felt that these two people were a match made in heaven, and no one was more compatible than the two of them. Yes, everyone thinks so, except for one person, she is Xiao Xiao.
She didn't expect that she was going to get married, and she was the last person to know. It was after Mo Yitian left yesterday, and the two sisters, Xiaoyu and Xiaolu, came to her residence with the bride's wedding dress and this "good news".
The two of them were still spitting at first, but Xiao Xiao quickly saw the clue. She asked in a very "calm" tone, "Who is my father going to marry me to?"
"II...... Second brother. Xiaoyu stammered in reply.
"Second brother... Whose idea was this? Xiao Xiao still maintained the tone just now.
"This is ......" Xiao Lu was about to speak, but the sister next to her poked her with her elbow, took over the conversation and said, "We also know this too well." It's just that your dad asked me to send these things. He confessed......"
"You don't have to say it! There shouldn't be a second person other than my dad who could come up with this idea! Xiao Xiao's tone suddenly changed an octave.
As soon as she said this, the two sisters beside her were speechless, and could only stare at Xiao Xiao silently, not knowing what to do next.
"Forget it, we are good sisters, I don't embarrass you. I know you're just talking, and I know it's useless for me to resist now... Tell me, when? Xiao Xiao regained her "calm" tone just now, but her face was obviously a lot uglier.
"Tomorrow." Xiaoyu said.
"I see, it seems that my father is in a hurry!" Xiao Xiao said with a wry smile.
Xiaoyu felt that there was something in her words. hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Xiao Xiao, listen to me, your father is also for your good." Besides, the second brother is not a bad person, at least he will not suffer in this life. ”
Xiao Xiao waved her hand: "I understand what you said." I took the clothes. Go back and tell my dad that I agreed to get married, let him rest assured! “
Xiaoyu knew that this was not Xiao Xiao's sincere words, but she was inconvenient to say anything more, so she had to sigh and say, "We grew up together, and we can't hide anything from each other." I don't want to talk too much, but you have to promise me not to do anything stupid, okay? ”
Xiao Xiao glanced at Xiaoyu and saw her expression of concern. I had to nod.
The two sisters were still a little uneasy, so in order to divert her attention, they simply talked to Xiao Xiao again. The two didn't leave until midnight.
The next day, the procession to welcome the bride came all the way to Xiao Xiao's residence. The procession was followed by a group of villagers who wanted to catch a glimpse of the bride, so they rushed over from various villages early in the morning.
After three cannon shots. The master of ceremonies at the beginning shouted: "The auspicious time has come, please get the bride into the sedan chair!" The words just fell. Eight strong men dressed in the traditional dresses of the original village carried the big red sedan chair to the courtyard of Xiao Xiao's boudoir.
Xiao Xiao's boudoir is divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard. The outer courtyard is actually a hall where guests are usually welcomed. For example, male guests like Mo Bitian are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard. So he met Xiao Xiao in this living room. Outside the hall there is a small courtyard fenced with bamboo. This yard is usually only used for raising cats, dogs, chickens, ducks and ducks, and few people wander here. But Xiao Xiao has been making trouble in the past few days, so Xiao Wanlong sent a few guards to patrol the courtyard to prevent his daughter from escaping again.
The inner courtyard of Xiao Xiao's boudoir is where she sleeps. It can be said that that is her real boudoir. This is just a reception for female guests, and it is not an ordinary female guest, sisters like Xiaoyu and Xiaolu who are brothers and sisters like Xiao Xiao can enter here.
Naturally, the procession could not enter the inner courtyard, and their eight-carried sedan chair could only be temporarily parked by the door of the outer courtyard. After a long while, the master of ceremonies saw that Xiao Xiao did not come out. I had to stand by the door and shout again: "The auspicious time has come, please get the bride into the sedan chair!" After another while, Xiao Xiao still didn't come out. Now the master of ceremonies is a little anxious. Seeing that the auspicious time is about to pass, but the bride has not yet come out. It was a very big deal to miss the auspicious time in the original village, and he didn't want to bear this fault. There was no way for him to shout again: "The auspicious time has come, please get the bride on the sedan chair!" ”
There was a dead silence all around, and even the drummers stopped playing. Watching the lively crowd, people began to talk to each other. They were all speculating about what had happened.
One or two minutes of time passed, and the master of ceremonies was already sweating profusely. He began to feel a little overwhelmed, and repeatedly looked at his own shadow on the ground, for fear of missing the auspicious time.
Just as he was about to lose patience and prepare to go into the inner courtyard to pick up the bride in disregard of etiquette, the door of the courtyard opened. Xiao Xiao wore a brand-new wedding dress and walked out of the courtyard supported by the two sisters, Xiaoyu and Xiaolu. She wore a bright red hijab on her head, and wore embroidered shoes tattooed with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and walked to the sedan chair step by step.
When the master of ceremonies saw that the bride had come out, he immediately motioned to the drummer on the side to play music. At this time, everyone reacted and picked up the guy in their hands, and the crowd cheered.
After Xiao Xiao walked into the sedan chair, the master of ceremonies breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Get up the sedan chair!" ”
The eight strong men worked together, and the sedan chair was steadily lifted off the ground. The welcoming team happily carried the bride all the way to the Shuai Mansion.
There, Xiao Wanlong set up a banquet and invited all the village chiefs and residents to attend. Lakshin stood in front of the gate of the Shuai's Mansion as the bridegroom and several guards in ceremonial clothes to greet the guests. Of course, their main task is not to entertain guests, but to wait for the wedding procession to pick up the bride.
The original village is located in a mountainous area, and the mountain road is rugged. However, for those who have lived here for a long time, this little mountain road is nothing at all. The procession of greeting relatives walked along the lightly repaired path, and they soon reached the gate of the Shuai Mansion. As soon as Lakshin saw that it was the team that picked up the bride, he immediately gave way with the guards around him and stood aside.
The master of ceremonies next to him walked to the sedan chair in three steps and two steps, and shouted: "Get off the sedan chair!" ”
The eight big men once again put down the sedan chair steadily.
Xiaoyu and Xiaolu walked out of the greeting procession and came to the sedan chair. After the two of them stood still on the left and right, one of them lifted the curtain of the sedan chair with his hand, and the other stepped forward to hold Xiao Xiao in the sedan chair.
Lakshen stood aside and looked at Xiao Xiao in a wedding dress, and was a little stupid for a while. He didn't expect that he would be able to marry Xiao Xiao one day. For him, Xiao Xiao is just an unattainable dream. For so many years, he just treated her as if she were his own sister. Although he sometimes fantasizes about her and feels sad for her, he never tells others what he thinks in his heart. Maybe it's okay to care about each other lightly, you don't need too much tenderness, and you don't need her to know, it's just that a person loves each other lightly. Lakshin has always thought so. But today, just before he was about to go on the expedition, Xiao Wanlong let him have such an unparalleled dream, and he now felt that even if he died on the battlefield after this dream, he would have no regrets!
He thought like this in his heart, but Xiaoyu had already arrived at his side. The little girl said, "Second brother, I'll leave it to you!" You have to be kind to Xiao Xiao! As she spoke, she put Xiao Xiao's hand in front of Lakshen.
What else can this Mongolian man say at this time? He could only nod vigorously, his heart full of joy. After nodding his head, Rakshen carefully stretched out his thick right hand to hold Xiao Xiao.
He was only happy and didn't notice that the moment he touched Xiao Xiao, the girl trembled like an electric shock.
Anyway, the wedding still has to go on. In the Shuai Mansion not far away, Xiao Wanlong was sitting on the main seat with an expectant face. He hoped that his Jihua would be able to solve Xiao Xiao's life's affairs once and for all today, but he overestimated this stupid Jihua and forgot what kind of girl his daughter was.
