Chapter 135: Marriage (II)
Yuntian went out early, dressed in a red groom's official uniform, and rode on a high-headed horse.
There are also Yunnan and Yunbei together, but fortunately there are ox carts at home. The big scalper was also tied to a big red red flower around his neck by the people of the Yun family, which was particularly festive at first glance. After Yunjia Village and the team to greet relatives gathered, the descendants of Yunjia Village lifted the sedan chair and went to Jixiang Town.
Fortunately, Yunjia Village is not particularly far from Jixiang Town, and I replaced the sedan chair back and forth along the way and walked to Jixiang Town.
When I arrived at the door of Lu Fuzi's house, many neighbors and Lu Fuzi's former students had already come to Lu's house to help. In front of the door, a scholar began to block the door, so that Yuntian had to make a love poem to let people in.
This little thing can't help Yuntian, but he is also a Xiucai and immediately opened his mouth:
Yue'er bent her long eyelashes, and Bai Yun smiled toothily.
The spring water is clear and the face is beautiful, and the waves beat and the heart beats.
A student immediately praised: "Brother Yun is a good learner, please!" ”
Yuntian arched his hand and entered the house with a happy face, Yunnan Yunbei followed, and the women and students who blocked the door behind also entered the courtyard.
And the maid Wantong, who was secretly observing in the front yard, heard the poems made by her aunt and immediately ran to the backyard.
In the backyard of the Lu family, Mrs. Lu looked at her daughter, who was dressed in a red wedding dress, and her face was even more beautiful, and she was very reluctant in her heart, her daughter was about to become another woman, Mrs. Lu's eyes were unconsciously red, but she also knew that today was the day of her daughter's big day, and she couldn't shed tears, so she quickly wiped it with a handkerchief.
Lu Xin'er shouted with a choked voice: "Mother......"
"Okay, okay, my mother knows that after you marry into the Yun family, you must be filial to your in-laws." Mrs. Lu patted Lu Xin'er's hand and told her carefully.
"Well, mother, my daughter is not filial, I can't be filial to you and my father, after my daughter gets married, you have to take good care of yourself."
"Silly child, you are married and married, how can you not be filial, you just live your own life, you don't have to worry about your mother and your father. We're in good health! ”
"Uh-huh......"
"Madame, Miss, Uncle is here to pick up the kiss! I'm already at the door, and I'm probably on my way to the backyard at this time. ”
"Oh, the hour has come, hurry, Wantong, put your young lady's head on the cover."
"Ah, ma'am."
Wan Tong responded, and quickly took the red hijab embroidered with Tilian, and put it on Lu Xin'er's head with Mrs. Lu.
After it was done, Yuntian's welcoming team also arrived in the backyard of the Lu family. This time it was Lu Xin'er's eldest sister and second sister who blocked the door.
Yuntian came to the Lu family to welcome relatives, and the matchmaker who followed the door-to-door hiring yesterday was also there, which was agreed yesterday.
The matchmaker stepped forward and knocked on the door, and there was a question from Sister Lu Xin'er in the room: "What's the matter?" ”
The matchmaker replied, "Come and marry the bride!" At this time, a gap leaked out of the closed door, and Yunnan handed over the red envelope very brightly.
The red envelope was accepted by the person inside, and it was closed again, and the matchmaker called the door again according to the rules, and so on three times before the woman opened the door to welcome the guests.
This is called "knocking on the door to marry the bride", deliberately prolonging the time of going out, is the custom of the Great Zhou, that the longer the bride delays going out, the more beneficial it is to the woman's family, and can retain more wealth, and it is also said that this shows that the male family is sincere.
Seeing the lively crowd rushing in, Yuntian finally married the girl he liked.
Yuntian put the red silk into Lu Xin'er's hand, led Lu Xin'er to the main hall of the Lu family cautiously, bowed down and said goodbye to Master Lu and Mrs. Lu, and prepared to take the sedan chair back to Yunjia Village.
Because the Lu family has no men, Lu Xin'er has no brothers, and no one carries Lu Xin'er into the sedan chair, Yun Tian knew about this and directly picked Lu Xin'er up.
In the midst of the exclamations, he strode towards the sedan chair outside the gate with Lu Xin'er in his arms.
Whether it is in ancient or modern times, the bride's feet can't touch the ground, Lu Xin'er is still ready to let her father carry her out, but she didn't think that her body suddenly hung in the air, just when she was panicking, a gentle and deep voice came into her ears: "Don't be afraid." ”
This voice immediately made Lu Xin'er's heart go into her stomach, and at the same time, Lu Xin'er's little face immediately turned red, she didn't expect her husband to be like this!
And Lu Fuzi and Mrs. Lu, who were watching this scene behind them, were particularly pleased. Once again, I sigh that this son-in-law is well chosen!
Yuntian smoothly hugged Lu Xin'er all the way to the sedan chair, and her movements were as gentle as holding a treasure, which made Lu Xin'er feel Yuntian's thoughtfulness towards her.
After Lu Xin'er sat down, there was suddenly a small paper bag in her hand, because of the hijab, Lu Xin'er only heard the voice of Yuntian overhead: "This is the dried meat I took from home, thinking that you must not have eaten, you pad your stomach in the sedan chair, don't starve yourself." If you are thirsty, this is also filled with a small bamboo tube of water, and it is safe to boil it clean. ”
Lu Xin'er was warmed by her father-in-law's thoughtfulness again. I didn't expect him to even think of these, how can such a man not be loved.
While Yuntian was talking, he also used practical actions to tell Lu Xin'er that he would protect her for the rest of her life.
After Yuntian gave the things to Lu Xin'er, he returned to the horses, bowed down and said goodbye to Master Lu and Mrs. Lu who came out to see them off: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely cherish Xin'er." ”
After speaking, he bowed and turned over his horse, and said: "Drive." ”
The welcoming team began to blow and blow towards Yunjia Village, and there was Lu Xin'er's dowry behind the team, a full twenty-four. For a family like the Lu family, there are already a lot of dowries for their daughters.
Of course, Lu Xin'er's dowry maid Wantong is also among them, originally Lu Xin'er didn't plan to take Wantong, but this girl grew up with her since she was a child, and after she got married, Wantong had no work. I could only go with her.
The welcoming team arrived at the Yun family smoothly all the way, and there were already many women looking in front of the Yun family.
After Yuntian returned, he got off the horse and kicked the sedan door at the prompting of the elders who often preside over weddings in the village. Of course, Yuntian didn't really kick it, the daughter-in-law he married home was painful, not for Ma Wei.
It just meant something, lifted the sedan curtain, and saw that he had almost eaten what he gave his daughter-in-law, and immediately grinned. carefully helped Lu Xin'er get out of the sedan chair.
Surrounded by children running around, shouting: "Look at the bride, the bride is coming~"
Some aunts and aunts also looked at them with strange expressions. After all, Yunjia Village has never seen such a formal marriage. Basically, it was decided to take people home the next day.
Then give a red egg to every household in the village to prove that you are marrying a daughter-in-law.
It was the first time that the Yun family had done such a big job, and the aunts and aunts watched it with relish, while the little daughters-in-law all looked at it with envy and jealousy.
When Lu Xin'er's dowry was brought into the Yun family's new house, it attracted a wave of envy and jealousy.
After waiting for the procedure of worshipping heaven and earth, Yuntian can be tired enough, he is tired to death, his daughter-in-law is not even more tired, and wait for the etiquette: "Send it to the cave room!" The end of the words. Yun Tian immediately sent his daughter-in-law into their new house.
Without waiting for anyone to follow, Yuntian pulled the matchmaker and Wantong into the wedding room, quickly asked the matchmaker to bring the scale, picked up the red hijab on Lu Xin'er's head, drank the wine, Yuntian gave the matchmaker a red envelope, and drove the person out.
