Chapter 9 [The Day of the Wedding]
Isn't it.......
Jun Yi raised his eyebrows, shook his head, skimmed the nonsense in his mind, turned his head to the Li family and said: "My parents are in mourning, lonely and miserable, and the Zhou Mansion is just a pity for me, I wish I would marry early, only Mama in the world really loves me." As the saying goes, "Entering the gate is as deep as the sea, and I am young, so I must be taken care of by my mother." This dowry is managed by the mother, and how to rehire is also presided over by the grandmother and Grandma Zhou. After a pause, he said, "When I get over there, I will hand over the wealth and belongings to my grandmother." ”
—Xi said that Li's tear chain chain, choked and grabbed Junyi's hand: "Girl! The slave maid was sold to someone at the age of nine and became a secret marriage, and within a year, the mother-in-law's family said that the slave maid was too lazy to sell me to the Zhou Mansion as a slave. Over the years, I didn't dare to slack off in the Zhou Mansion, for fear of being ...... again When the girl came, she was alone, and by the grace of the old lady, she brought the slave and maid from the kitchen to the girl. From the first time I saw the girl, the slave swore that I would serve the girl for the rest of my life, and I would never have two hearts!"
Jun Yi nodded: "Mama's heart Jun Yi understands. I've heard how many people have been assigned to bring me there, but who are they?"
Li said: "Tentatively four maids, two mothers-in-law, the old lady allocated two Zhuangzi from her dowry - a shop, and a Zhuangzi to accompany the aunt's wife to return to the girl, each Zhuangzi has a household to accompany the room to take care of, the shopkeeper in the shop is also the son of the Zhou family, and the old lady also said that she will take the deed of sale." ”
Jun Yi nodded after hearing this, and said, "What does Mama think of Chunlan and Qiu Ju?"
Li Shi groaned - the next time he replied: "Girl-the old lady will give Chunlan to the girl, and the girl is also intimate, but there is not much assertiveness in the event of an incident, but the eldest lady gives Qiu Ju a shrewd and capable master who can be trusted, but I don't know if it is the old master."
"I see, you go down first and get busy with the dowry." Jun Yi waved his hand, and Li retreated.
The next day, Grandma Zhou really sent the two girls, the two mothers-in-law, the companion room in the Zhuangzi, and the shopkeeper of the shop. One of the housekeepers in Zhuangzi is surnamed Zhou Laoer and the other is called Yu Laohan, both of whom are honest people, only the shopkeeper named Ma San looks a little sleek and shrewd, Jun Yi saw it, asked about the general situation of Zhuangzi and the shop, and let them go back. The two girls are only fifteen or sixteen years old, one is called Juanxiu and the other is called Hua Gu, and they seem to be smart and clever. One of the two mothers-in-law is Yu's good at cooking, and the other is Liu's who teaches Junyi and everyone in the room the rules and etiquette. Junyi asked the Li family to take it down, and familiarized himself with the environment first.
The day of welcoming relatives is getting closer and closer, and now Junyi is urged by Liu to learn various etiquette as Mrs. Hou every day, and after learning Li, she will teach her to make clothes, hats, shoes and socks for her future husband, and even a few girls follow the rules they should learn and help do needlework, the needlework called Juanxiu is very good, Junyi gave her most of the needlework, and she disdained to do these for that man.
The days passed like this, and in a blink of an eye it was the sixth day of the fourth month, and this day began to receive the wives of the Zhou Mansion in the afternoon, grandmothers, and girls, and said goodbye to the blessings one by one, and after dinner, Liu began to tell her the etiquette at tomorrow's wedding, in fact, she had already spoken dozens of times, Jun Yi listened and slept at the same time, and waited for Liu to say: "Can the girl repeat what the slave just said?" ”
"That, that, the sedan chair stopped and couldn't lift the curtain by itself, and I had to hear three calls outside......" Jun Yi replied indiscriminately.
"The slave just talked about the confession of relatives on the second day after entering the door." Liu sighed and said.
"Oh, Mama Liu, you've said it many times, I remember it all, don't worry, I'm really going to sleep, ha." Junyi yawned and was about to lie down.
"Girl, bear with me, and most importantly, this should have been told to you by Mrs. Gu, but now I have to do it for you." As he spoke, Liu took out a book from his sleeve and gave it to Junyi. Jun Yi casually took it and took a look, it was full of pictures of men and women making friends, and he immediately blushed and hurriedly threw it away.
Liu quickly picked it up again, "Girl don't have to be shy, this is ........."
"I know, I know, I don't want to watch." Saying that, he slipped into the quilt and buried his head in it, no matter how much Liu called it, he would never stick it out, Liu sighed, had to put the book on her pillow, and walked out.
Ye Junyi didn't sleep for a while, and Li brought a large group of girls in to pick her up from the quilt and began to fiddle.
When I got into the sedan chair, I heard a lively sound of blowing and blowing, and people shouting, and after a while, I arrived in front of the Yasukuni Marquis's Mansion. When the sedan chair arrived at the door, the sedan chair driver stood up, and heard someone shouting, "The bridegroom has arrived, and the groom picks up the bride." ”
The people who sent off their relatives were waiting for the groom with joy, and the people around them were also envious, but ......
The crowd of joyful people waited for a long time, and no one came out of the inner hall of the Hou Mansion, and the boiling voices slowly quieted down, and the people who sent off their relatives were a little annoyed and a little apprehensive.
Thinking that this is the Yasukuni Marquis Mansion after all, everyone doesn't dare to be presumptuous, so they have to wait and wait, and this inner hall just doesn't see the groom bring people out.
The people who sent off the relatives were even more uneasy, and the people who watched the excitement in the surrounding sea began to whisper, and the master of ceremonies had never encountered such a thing, so he had to raise his voice and shout again, "The bride and groom are here, please pick up the bride." ”
Everyone was reluctant again, stretched their necks to look in, and waited for a while, but no one came out.
Seeing the situation, the sweat flowed wildly, and hurriedly sent someone back to Zhou's mansion to report the news, and at the same time sent someone to the inner hall of the Hou Mansion to urge him constantly. Several sedan chair drivers have rotated several times, and seeing that even this can't support it, he saw Ye Junyi lift the sedan curtain and shouted, "Big cousin." ”
As soon as the crowd heard Junyi's voice, they all stopped whispering and looked over. When Mr. Zhou heard her calling him, he glanced at the crowd around him, hurriedly came over and lowered the curtain and whispered, "Wait a while, go back to the sedan chair, don't be embarrassed here." ”
Junyi opened the sedan curtain again, and said faintly: "Master Xu Hou is in a high position, presumably he can't look down on the little sister and an orphan girl, no matter what, the little sister will not affect the innocent reputation of all the relatives and friends here and the Zhou Mansion. ”
Although Ye Junyi's voice was not very good, at this time, everyone around the people saw her lift the sedan curtain, and they all looked at them quietly, and her words fell clearly into everyone's ears. Seeing that she was so fierce, the crowd all pointed at the Yasukuni Marquis Mansion, and there was a buzzing sigh of emotion.
Ye Junyi's move just wanted to provoke the eldest prince of Zhou, but this eldest prince of Zhou was a weak, incompetent, and unassertive person, seeing that things were so tricky, he just wanted to get rid of it quickly, and when he heard Ye Junyi say this, he actually listened to it, looked left and right, and saw that no one in the house came out to greet him, gritted his teeth, and his heart was horizontal, and he really beckoned to the next person, and shouted: "Come on........."
"Wait!" Suddenly, a Confucian student stood up among the guests and said, "Master Zhou, the Zhou Mansion entrusted you to send your relatives, but you are so straw bag, you really want to send your sister to the nunnery?" What a useless person. After a pause, he shouted to Ye Junyi in the sedan chair, "Sister Ye and don't panic, Hou Ye Xu accepted the marriage in front of a dozen colleagues in the Zhou Mansion, and it was three media and six certificates, and he set a thousand gold as a dowry to marry a girl, and today is a big banquet for colleagues, and invite me and other friends to come to greet my relatives, if you regret it, wouldn't it be better to be a pig and a dog?" Girl, wait a minute, wait until I go to check the situation, if Xu Ziqian is such a person, I will cut off with him, and immediately enter the court to see the current saint to participate in him! ”
Today, many Confucian scholars from the Guozijian heard the news and came to congratulate them, and at this time they were also gathering a group at the door, and this person who came out was probably some prestige among these Confucian scholars, and those Confucian scholars were also the most unacceptable to such a violation of etiquette and insulting things.
A Confucian student even stood up and raised his arms at the Confucian scholars and shouted: "Brother Li is polite, the dignified Marquis of Yasukuni, can you also do child's play with such a marriage event as the Imperial Governor?" Does this Xu Ziqian treat us as monkeys? Where do you put a weak woman? Let's go and go with Brother Li to ask why Xu Ziqian is so cheap and an orphan girl? ”
"Good, good, good!" This person known as Brother Li shouted loudly, "I am a state of etiquette, and we are deeply favored by the emperor, how can we allow such an insulting thing to happen, go, go, go!" The bloody ones all followed the master to meet Xu Ziqian for a while. ”
Ye Junyi listened to this person's nonsense in the sedan chair, half grateful and half funny in his heart.
At this time, Hou Ye Xu listened to his subordinates in the crowd, and secretly screamed in his heart, so he asked his subordinates to stop those Confucian students, pulled the dog's legs and ran into the inner hall.
A group of Confucian scholars who came to congratulate him said violently, and rushed to the inner hall of the Yasukuni Mansion, and among the people who watched the excitement around, more than a dozen big men came out to bump them around, and several subordinates at the gate of the Xu Mansion also hurried to stop them, and the Confucian scholars were even more scolding when they saw this, and tried to rush in. Seeing that these servants could not be stopped, he heard someone in the inner hall shouting, "The bridegroom has come out to meet the bride." ”
Everyone looked around, only to see that Marquis Xu was wearing a big red wedding robe, and Yu Xuanang walked out of the inner hall, and his eyes swept towards the group of impulsive Confucian students, and the person called Brother Li immediately bent down and quietly got into the crowd like a mouse. The Confucian students who followed behind felt a little regretful when they saw this Xu Houye, and when they looked again, the leader was gone, and he was stunned on the spot.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked out behind Hou Ye Xu and shouted: "Hou Ye is going to welcome the bride, don't you wait to watch the ceremony, what are you doing here?" Don't hurry up and get out of the way, if you delay the auspicious time, you are the only one who asks! ”
When the impulsive Confucian scholars heard this, they were frightened like a gust of wind, and quickly fled with their heads in their hands. In an instant, the red carpet from the door to the inner hall was empty.
Zhou Dagongzi was overjoyed when he saw this, and he was busy kicking his feet towards the butt of the master of ceremonies: "Quick, quick......"
