Boss Shen took the opportunity to knock on the side and talk to Li Shanren. It is really "men chasing women across the mountain, women chasing men across the veil", and this family affair has become a result. Immediately, Li Shanren was in charge, and Mrs. Li asked the matchmaker to come to the door to talk to the matchmaker, and Boss Shen agreed. told her daughter that her daughter was willing, and her wife agreed, so she exchanged birthdays, and all etiquette went through the motions.
On the Li family's side, Zhao Da was first accepted as a righteous son, and the Shen family was courteous to his son, and there were many "three books" and "six rites". And clean up the three rooms in the east wing of the upper courtyard, one is a new house, one is for hospitality, and one is for Wu's mother to live, and the bride marries into the door, which can be taken care of nearby.
As soon as the auspicious day arrived, the Li family came to the door of Miss Shen's boudoir with eight sedan chairs, half-new and half-old-fashioned, crying and marrying in the sedan chair or something were exempted, his brother Fusheng hugged his sister on the sedan chair, the suona craftsman blew the joy tune, and the drummer beat the gong and drum to send the sedan chair, so lively.
The Shen Mansion sent sixteen cars of dowry, and the sedan chair was sent to the cross bridge, not directly across the bridge, but to go around the dry road of the water bridge in the east and west, north and south of the town, and even go to the strange roads in the fields, and perform the old-fashioned pomp and circumstance, and return to the cross bridge lively. Xianghai returned to Guangfu from Shanghai early, made a companion, and conscientiously followed the sedan chair for a long time.
The drummer played and played on the bridge, crossed the bridge and came to the outside of Houde Mansion, welcoming the new suona and shouting, silk and bamboo rhyme, gongs and drums shaking the sky, and the Li family welcomed the new door. Wu's mother has a big dustpan on her stomach, full of yellow and clear wheat bran, and when she sees people entering the door, she grabs a handful of wheat bran and sprinkles it to the crowd, saying that it is a blessing and begging for praise. Mrs. Li indiscriminately handed out rewards in the crowd, and everyone who came was happy. Miss Shen changed into new shoes in the sedan chair, which was a pair of red soft-soled happy shoes, and she got off the sedan chair. This is the first time that the bride has left the boudoir to her husband's house, and her feet have touched the ground, implying that she is moving towards her in-laws and moving towards a new life.
In the cave room, a carved wooden bed is covered with a new and shiny red dragon and phoenix silk quilt and mandarin duck pillows, red wedding paper is pasted on the wall and two doors, and red cloth curtains are also hung on the windows. Before entering the cave room, Mr. Zhang was invited to officiate at the wedding, this was a new-style wedding, and I saw Mr. Zhang chanting: "Choose this auspicious day, Zhao Da and Miss Shen tie the knot Qin and Jin, the wedding ceremony continues, please ask the groom to present a token." Zhao Da took the gemstone ring from the best man's hand, and actually put it on his finger. Miss Shen saw it from the red hijab and hurriedly signaled: "Ah Da, Ah Da, put it on for me." It made everyone laugh, ridiculing the groom for being an old goose, Zhao Da reacted at this time, panicked, and took off the ring for Miss Shen to put on. Then worship heaven and earth and worship parents, husband and wife worship each other, and send them to the cave room.
Tents were erected on the cross bridge and banquets were set up, just like a festival for the whole village. It is said that the son of the Li family has climbed the eldest lady of the Shen family, and there is an endless stream of congratulatory guests. At night, the banquet dispersed, although it was only half a mile away, Li Shanren personally arranged a carriage to send his in-laws' family back to Shen's house, and Boss Shen repeatedly gave in, politely refused to continue to move forward, and until he walked out of Houde Mansion for more than ten steps, the carriage that sent his in-laws followed closely behind, and then he was very enthusiastic but got into the car. Li Shanren looked at the prime minister, waited for the carriage to cross the bridge, then walked back, returned to the courtyard, a major event in his heart was finally completed, sat on the Taishi chair under the corridor for a while, saw the stars shifting, and then entered the room to rest.
In the dead of night, Wu's mother was still sitting in the courtyard and waiting, when she suddenly heard the barking of dogs by the cross bridge, and several black shadows walked towards Houde Mansion. The men in the village had already premeditated to come to the listening room, and Wu's mother was waiting for this moment, quietly opening the door and luring the black shadow to the window of the new house. Wu's mother had already calmed down her watchdog and didn't let it make a sound, so as not to alarm the newcomers in the room, the window paper had torn a hole, and she was looking forward to the exciting show. However, an hour passed, and the room was quiet, and there was not the slightest movement. Wu's mother brought candy and dry tobacco, bribed the listeners in the dark, begging them to stay for another hour, and another hour passed, and the room was still as silent as death. Listening to the excitement of the room, Wu Ma was also very disappointed.
After more than a year of marriage, the Shen and Li families looked forward to it, but they didn't see Miss Shen's belly growing. Wu's mother couldn't bear it at first, secretly burned incense and prayed, and after another half a year, Miss Shen still didn't see any improvement, and Wu's mother finally couldn't help but ask Zhao Da: "Have you had sex with your daughter-in-law and aunt?" The second monk Zhao Dazhang was puzzled and replied: "I am in the same room with my daughter-in-law every day, why don't I have a different room?" Wu's mother said: "If this is the case, why is there no movement?" Zhao Da asked, "What movement?" Wu's mother said: "Why hasn't my daughter-in-law's body moved?" Zhao Da said that he also wondered why other people's families had children as soon as they got married, but he didn't. Since getting married, the lord no longer arranges anything for himself, presumably waiting for the birth of the child to make arrangements, but the daughter-in-law has no movement, and he is also anxious. He also waited for the master to send him to Ezhou to find the "water ghost" brother, avenge the eldest brother of the iron head, and rescue the daughter-in-law of the iron head. Now like this, it is not his wish to sit back and enjoy his success without work. Wu's mother thought to herself, there are only trees that don't bloom, how can there be chickens that don't lay eggs. Miss Shen has a thin waist and fat hips, strong fertility, both of them are in the same room, both of them are the first marriage, dry firewood meets fire, it should be happy to sit on the candle night in the cave room, how can there be no movement for a year and a half, is it that the Bodhisattva is not good or her stomach is not angry? I went to ask Miss Shen again, but who knew that Miss Shen was expecting Ai Ai to inform Mother Wu that Ah Da had not had sex with her since she was newly married.
