CHAPTER XVI

All preparations were made, just waiting for the arrival of July 13, and in the middle of the announcement, a presidential proclamation was issued, officially declaring war on Germany and Austria, but after a few days, President Li Da resigned, and President Li Da could not handle Premier Duan, so he had to resign himself. But I resigned and didn't leave BJ City.

After the big man finished talking, Wang Wenwu finally waited until July 13, and Liu Quanju helped prepare a wedding room.

After the marriage ceremony began, the wife of the marrying family first went to the wedding room to offer incense to the Lord of Heaven and Earth. At this moment, Wang Wenwu's robe was neatly dressed, he sat on the edge of the kang with his head bowed, and waited until his wife summoned him, and then went to kowtow to the Lord of Heaven and Earth three times. At this time, the teahouse shouted loudly: "Marry your wife!" When the order is heard, a violent gong will be beaten in the courtyard, and drums will be played in unison.

Then, by the tea room to hold a copper tea tray, put a almanac, a red light flower, a small mirror, an apple, a Zhiba incense, please marry the wife to the door outside the "sedan chair", "smoke sedan chair", which means to expel evil spirits. Then sprinkle some lychees, dates, chestnuts, longan, peanuts and other "happy fruits" into the sedan chair.

Finally, the wife of the marrying family sits cross-legged in the sedan chair and does not put the sedan curtain, which is called "pressing the sedan chair". Wang Wenwu and other marrying officials and children who carried hijabs or "gold and silver kettles" got into a sedan or four-wheeled carriage together, and after the groom got off the sedan chair, the drums and ceremonies sounded, and they set off to marry the bride.

When Wang Wenwu's wedding procession arrived at the entrance of the bride's house, the gong should be sounded first, and after the Shu family heard the gong, they closed the street door tightly in order to avoid evil. At this time, the marrying official will accompany you and start calling the door: "Open the door, open the door, don't miss the auspicious time!" ”

At this time, the guests of the Shu family usually shout out through the street door and ask the drummer to play some festive music. When the bride is dressed and dressed, someone will shout, "Open the hinge!" ”

When the door is opened, the person in charge of the Shu family will "sprinkle the stars", that is, sprinkle copper coins, or tea sugar. Subsequently, the wives and husbands accompanied Wang Wenwu to the living room of the woman's house and said "great joy". The congratulatory responds with "Tongxi"! At this time, you have to kowtow to your father-in-law and mother-in-law, which is called "thank you", and the old man of the Shu family is gone, so you will kowtow to her eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Then, Wang Wenwu wanted to "steal" the bowls and chopsticks that the Shu family prepared for the newcomers to eat dumplings and longevity noodles, worried that Wang Wenwu would be careless, and the Shu family's tea room would send the dishes and chopsticks to Wang Wenwuke in advance.

After marrying the wife and sending the wife to meet and greet each other a little, the Shu family will put on a banquet, Wang Wenwu will sit down, and the Shu family will be accompanied. However, this is just a ceremonial scene, and the dishes and chopsticks are tied with red strings, and you can't really eat and drink. After a moment of being seated, the Shu family teahouse will shout: "The words have arrived, and the wife has said goodbye!" "The marrying personnel have to get up to the table, and the marrying personnel at each table should take out the red paper-wrapped "Tang Feng'er" (reward) to the tea room as usual.

At this time, the bride should wear a phoenix crown and a xia veil, cover her head with a red hijab, wear a red thin cotton sedan chair jacket, and be supported by the wife to get on the sedan chair. At this time, the bride was crying and crying in the sedan chair, which was auspicious. The louder the bride cries, the richer her in-laws become. After the sedan chair left, Brother Qiu sent three tables of banquets, two of which were given to relatives of the Shu family; The other table was given to the big media to show gratitude.

When you marry and go home, you have to take another path, the so-called "no turning back". After getting up the sedan chair, the sedan pole of the sedan chair is supported by the bride's brother.

Near the Liuquan Residence gong, after the sedan chair comes to the door, and then, the treasure sedan chair is slowly lifted from the charcoal basin set up in the courtyard, which means to burn away all the bad luck, and the days of the newlyweds are more and more prosperous. The sedan chair had to be carried to the door of the main house, and the door stopped.

Subsequently, the bride got off the sedan chair with a vase in her hand. The so-called "treasure vase" is a wooden gold lacquer bottle, the bottle is filled with rice, millet, called "gold and silver rice", covered with red cloth, tied with red thread. Then, the groom symbolically shoots three arrows, which is called "the peach blossom girl breaks the Zhou Gong". The bride then stepped over the wooden-gold-lacquered saddle and stepped into the cave house on the red felt.

After entering the wedding room, the wife immediately "opened her face" to the bride. It is to rub rouge and powder, indicating that the bride has changed from a girl to a young woman. Subsequently, under the auspices of the wife, the bride and groom offered incense to the Lord of Heaven and Earth, and bowed three times together, which is called worshipping heaven and earth. After worshipping, send the gods, invite the incense root from the tea room, and put it in the money and grain basin in the courtyard together with the god paper and worship the god money and grain. The drummer played a clear note, and thus the salute was completed.

Newlyweds eat "offspring dumplings" and "longevity noodles" together. The dumplings of the children and grandchildren were made by the Shu family and brought to Liuquanju to be cooked; The longevity noodles are made by the man. As usual, a boy asked loudly through the window, "To give birth or not?" The wife replied, "Yes!" It means to give birth to offspring.

Then, the couple drank a glass of wine. When drinking, tie the two wine glasses together with a red head rope, and the wife will hand one cup to the groom, and the wife will hand the other cup to the bride, drink half a cup each, and then exchange them, saying that it is "a thousand miles of marriage". This is the gift of "union".

The final process is to "worship the three generations" (three generations of clan relatives) to determine the name, set up clan tablets, and the newlyweds bow down.

At this point, the wedding of this day was over, and at this time, Wang Wenwu was already exhausted and exhausted, and he no longer had the strength to do anything else.

I only know that the bride is so beautiful, and she doesn't read much, so she can only say that she is beautiful.

If you get married according to modern civilization, it will not be easy, but there will be no lack of strength to do something else. went home to introduce Aigean, and then Wang Wenwu knew that Miss Shu's name was Shu Jinxi. The atmosphere of the two meeting was not bad, and Aiqin said to Wang Wenwu:

"Master, since entering Japan, my body has been uncomfortable, and the sister of the Zhao family said that I may have it."

"There it is! Have you seen a doctor? ”

"I read it today, and the doctor said it was."

Wang Wenwu thought that he had a child, and his joy overflowed, and Shu Jinxi's face suddenly deteriorated.

"I'm tired, let's rest!"

"Ah, ah, rest, rest," "Aiqin, I'll accompany you tomorrow to buy some medicine for the fetus." ”

"Okay, master" Aiqin's expression was triumphant, looking at Shu Jinxi.

Shu Jinxi didn't look at it, turned his head and left, and Wang Wenwu hurriedly followed. The room was full of bright red, and the furniture was re-typed by Carpenter Lu.

"Don't be upset, didn't the master marry you back, she is a little bit earlier than you."

"Am I not happy about this, our children have not been born yet, and one of her concubines came out first, and you look at her like that."

"It's all the seed of the master, the master will be able to level a bowl of water, don't talk about concubines, it's a new era, it's weird and hurtful."

"In the new era, the law can write monogamy, but I am married to Ming Media, does she have it?"

"You are all my good ladies, capable, you see who is monogamous,"

"Yo, I know, my lord's ability is strong, my lord's ability is great, I'm the one who was sold by my mother's family,"

"I know you're uncomfortable, the days to come are for the two of us, and I'll live every day with you,"

"And Aegean!"

"And Aegean."

"Well, sir, rest early!"

This is stimulated, Wang Wenwu no longer has the strength, he has to move.
