Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Greeting Ceremony

Wearing a good costume, it is to wear jewelry, a gorgeous and expensive three dragons and three phoenix pendants colorful gems and Fu Lu Shou tassel Zhai crown, is a reward in the palace, and a slight change in the future is the decree of the prince of the country.

A pair of gold lock-shaped agate earrings in the ear, a gilded twisted bat inlaid with red jade on the neck, and a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets on the wrist are all made by the hairpin girl and the master who have been on this trip for more than half a year.

Then there is the flower sachet on the waist, the lotus carp jade pendant wears a seven-colored pearl tassel and the forbidden step is sewn by Gantang himself, and he finds gold thread to wear.

It took two hours to clean up and dress up, and Gan Tang was led by Mrs. Quanfu to the blessed bed where her six sisters slept in turn, and waited quietly for the groom to enter the room to pick her up in the sedan chair.

During this period, Mrs. Decree handed Gan Tang a handful, embroidered with the ancient character pattern of the hand of the son and the old embroidered words with the son, and formed a big red fan with a double mandarin duck pattern, let her hold it in her hand and cover it in front of her.

When Gantang was still wearing a dress, the groom's official Lu Xun had come to the middle gate of Ganfu surrounded by relatives and friends, and the middle door was closed at that time, and Gantang's cousins racked their brains to embarrass the groom and the groom's relatives and friends, and let the relatives and friends of the groom official scratch their ears and scratch their cheeks for a while before opening the middle door and letting them in.

After the older generation of the groom's official family has to enter the door of the Gan family, they go to the main hall to meet the elders of the Gan family, and after the younger generation has to enter the house, they hug the groom and the official to find the bride.

Along the way, the groom's officials and relatives and friends gave red envelopes and happy things, and only then did they find out the place where the Gantang Boudoir Pavilion was located from the mouths of the little maids of the Gan family.

The eldest daughter of the Gan family got married, and there was no place in the entire Gan Mansion that was not decorated with joy, and the groom and his party played in the Gan Mansion for a long time before they went to the boudoir of Gantang.

The sisters of Gan Tang and Gan Tang in the house heard the noise outside, and they didn't know who said, "Sister Tang'er, I must make a few more poems for my brother-in-law in the future, so that you can give the fan to your brother-in-law." ”

Gan Tang was very nervous when she heard the noisy but joyful conversations outside, she looked at her cousins and sisters-in-law for help, and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, how long should I wait to give the fan to Brother Yi." ”

The eldest cousin-in-law laughed at Gan Tang's stupidity, "Those Lang Jun outside are not easy to mess with, you have to let them know that your future sister-in-law is very noble, very difficult to mess with, don't want to take your husband out to fool around in the future, at least make a seven, eighty or ninety song." ”

Gan Tang really didn't understand, she nodded sneeringly, and said with a good discussion, "Then Brother Yi made seven songs, and I will give him the group fan." ”

The eldest cousin-in-law laughed even louder, "Tang'er, your cousin-in-law lied to you, you can give it to him by making two or three poems, and they will also make hypnotic poems to urge you to go out, you must keep a straight face when the time comes, and your sisters and sisters-in-law will help you speak." ”

Nowadays, men and women get married, but the fan poem has the implication of the man's desire to marry, which means that the man cherishes the woman very much, and will love the woman wholeheartedly in the future.

The hypnotic poem has the opposite meaning, the daughter's family is the biggest thing in life, and it is natural to come carefully to groom and dress up, that is, to wait until the old man's family has to wait.

Under normal circumstances, the man's side makes two or three hypnotic poems to provoke it, the woman laughs and scolds a few words, and the man's family sends some red envelopes and happy things to the woman's sisters as atonement, and then you can enter the woman's boudoir, and the groom's official can bring his bride to the main hall to salute.

Lu Xun is the son of the prince's family, and the people who intersect with him are also of similar status, and they don't have to wait for the imperial court to be awarded in the imperial examination as ordinary people, so people who are not familiar with them really don't know how their literary style is.

They wrote two hypnotic poems in quick succession.

The first song, "He has known each other since the beginning of his heart, and he pretended to be late after the barrier." Even more worried, the moon rabbit is worried, and the love does not draw eyebrows. ”

The second song, "I don't know what night it is, urge the balcony close-up platform." Who said that hibiscus is planted in the water, and a branch is opened in the bronze mirror. ”

As soon as the first poem was written, Gan Tang's sisters laughed and scolded in the room, "What are you saying, my sister's makeup is not yet complete, how can I go out to meet your ancestors and elders, does the groom want my sister to make a fool of me?" Do something else, or we won't open this door. ”

The Lang Jun outside was in a commotion, and after a while, the second song came out, and Gantang's sisters said quite proudly, "My sister is a fairy in the sky, and she doesn't need to dress up to race over Hibiscus, or not, the groom, you bring some happy things, and we will recognize you as a brother-in-law and open the door for you." ”

The gentlemen at Lu Xun's end were busy stuffing the red envelopes into the cracks in the door, and Gan Tang's sisters were not embarrassed, opening the boudoir door and letting Lu Xun enter the house.

Gan Tang noticed that the voices were getting closer and closer to her, she was so nervous that she forgot how to breathe, and she had a fan to cover it, but she still buried her head low.

Marriage, the woman's family and the woman herself have a hard night's sleep, and the man's family and the man himself are also, from the first three days of the wedding ceremony, it is necessary to start arranging the wedding room to build a green house, and the people with good conditions should replace all the items in the man's house with new ones, including the wardrobe, tables and chairs and other dowries sent by the woman, the man's family prepared a large step bed and a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren, and the full moon quilt and other items must be placed out, so that the guests can take a good look at the sincerity of the men and women marrying women.

After that, the night before the personal greeting ceremony, the groom official Yin will prepare to pay homage to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and then he will bring a pair of dragon and phoenix dolls that are in line with him and the bride's life to press the sedan chair sixteen sedan chairs to the bride's house, first by the bride's brothers, then by the bride's uncles, aunts and uncles, and finally by the bride's sisters, in order to see the bride herself.

Up to now, Lu Xun is not sleepy, but he is a little tired, but when he saw Gan Tang, who was dressed up and was more beautiful than Hua Jiao, and wanted to talk, her face was still covered by a fan, and he was also excited.

At this moment, he felt that he had finally married the person he had been thinking about for many years.

From then on, they were like poems on the fan, holding the hand of the son, and growing old with the son.

"The groom, why are you stunned, don't you only make hypnotic poems, not fan poems? This can't be done, if there is no fan poem, my sister's fan will not be given to you. ”

Lu Xun was teased for a few words before he came back to his senses, and he was busy writing poems, "Don't fan the painting out of the curtain to cover up the lag of Spring Mountain." If the reunion is like a bright moon, osmanthus flowers must be put in it. ”

"Okay, the groom is talented, sister-in-law, you can quickly fan my brother to see your flower and moon appearance." Lu Xun was angry, and his relatives and friends helped him, unlike the bride's sisters, who have refused to call Lu Xun's brother-in-law so far, they haven't even tasted the happy fruit given by the bride, so they shouted the affection of the sister-in-law.

Gan Tang had already asked his eldest cousin-in-law, and he had made up his mind to wait for Lu Xun to make three poems before giving him the group fan, but the sound of his sister-in-law made her heart like a drum.

Finally after Lu Xun made the third fan poem, Lu Xun's relatives and friends said to Gan Tang, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you hurry up but fan, my brother has not slept well for three days and three nights in order to marry you, you have to feel sorry for your own husband." Gan Tang slowly put down the fan in his hand.

After Gan Tang put down the fan, everyone in the house cheered and said auspicious words.

Gan Tang's sisters distributed the happy fruits that Gan Tang had prepared to Lu Xun's relatives and friends, and gave Gan Tang and Lu Xun a sudden look at each other, as if they had entered a time of calm in the heart of a chaotic place.

Gan Tang felt that Lu Xun was really handsome, and his eyebrows and eyes were all exquisite.

Lu Xun felt that Gan Tang was really beautiful and pleasant today, the original exquisite makeup, gorgeous clothes, and even a touch of flowers on her forehead should have modified her and made her more beautiful today, but she was already beautiful and did not need to be modified by external objects.

"Don't look at the bride and groom, after welcoming home, there is time to watch, now go to the front hall to meet the relatives." Mrs. Decree grinned and joked about a pair of people who looked at each other stupidly.

Gan Tang lowered his head shyly and handed the fan to Lu Xun, who also took advantage of the situation to pull her up from the bed.

The two of them, their fingers interlocked, the fan in the hands of the two of them, they walked side by side, Lu Xun's relatives and friends and Gan Tang's sisters followed, and they also stayed to join the excitement in front of them.

When the newcomer walked to the front of the main hall, Gan Tang covered his face with a fan, and Lu Xun went to the Gan family ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of the Gan family under the guidance of the ceremonial officer and Quanfu Mama, and greeted the last book in the three books, and then went to the front of the hall to bid farewell to Gantang's relatives.

Because Gan Tang's parents have both died, the people who sit in the main hall are a very respected patriarch and grandfather of the Gan family, and the maternal grandmother who sits in second place, not the current patriarch's wife of the Gan family.

The three of them said their messages respectively, and their grandfather and grandmother looked at Gantang who was standing in a pavilion, and their eyes couldn't help but be red, and Gantang was also very sad through the fan, and cried.

Mrs. Quan Fu heard the auspicious words of crying and marrying, and after hearing it, Mama Quanfu followed it and spread it to the ears of every guest who came to watch the ceremony.

After the farewell ceremony was completed, firecrackers were set off outside, and then the Quanfu grandmother of the Lu family gently put the big red Xipa, which was three feet long and wide, on the crown of Gantang, covering her appearance.

The bride is sent by her father and brother when she leaves her mother's house, and her husband takes her husband when she enters her mother-in-law's house.

After Gantang got on the sedan chair, the crying did not stop, and the wedding team went around half the city, so she stopped crying and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Today's wedding, Gan Tang is generally still happy, but when she saw her grandfather's and grandmother's red eyes, she couldn't help it when she thought that she would have to return to Xichuan once in a few years in the future.

The wedding ceremony of the two families of Ganlu and their children is endless, and there are people watching the excitement along the way, and the Lu family is also sprinkling happy money and fruits all the way.
