Chapter 172: The Chapel
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
The picture screen looked at his own girl, crying, but full of joy, he was really shocked.
"He is not the husband of the ** sister. He is. Lin Qiushui shouted silently in his heart, "But who is he?" ”
The joy hidden in my heart will gush out irrepressibly.
"It's okay, I'm happy for my ** sister." Be happy for yourself, too.
Lin Qiushui wiped the corners of his eyes and said with a heartfelt smile.
Seeing this, the painting screen didn't care anymore, but focused on the newcomer.
When she arrived at the sedan chair at the door, the matchmaker put the bride into the sedan chair, got a big red envelope from Mama Yang, and smiled happily.
Chu Tiankuo turned over and got on his horse. The sound of gongs and drums sounded, and the sedan chair drivers carried eight large sedan chairs and slowly walked towards Chu Tiankuo's house.
Chu Mufeng, as the bridal gift, took Jiang Zhixia's subordinates and walked with the sedan chair.
Mrs. Lin beckoned the eldest princess and the eldest lady of Chengping to go to the Chu family for a banquet.
The eldest princess politely declined, citing physical fatigue. However, the eldest lady, as a Quanfu person, still went hand in hand with Mrs. Lin.
Uncle He and Aunt Zhang were left to look after the house and do the follow-up.
The bridal giver was gone, and the door was quiet. Lin Qiushui came out of the door with a happy face and said goodbye and returned to the Chengenhou Mansion.
The procession of welcoming relatives is lively and blowing in the street.
Jiang Zhixia was in a sedan chair, holding Ruyi in his hand, with a sense of unreality. ---- married?
She listened to the sound of blowing outside, trying to calm her mind.
Jiang Zhixia's family and Chu Tiankuo's home are actually not far away. However, in order to give Jiang Zhixia a grand ceremony, Chu Tiankuo specially studied several routes.
In the end, I found a route that almost went around the entire North Square. Then, he walked around several times by himself, confirmed the approximate time, and added the eight characters of the two people to calculate the most auspicious time.
Chu Tiankuo's intentions can not be described as bad and bitter.
Jiang Zhixia only felt that the sedan chair had been gone for a long time, and it had been bumped for a long time before it slowly stopped.
After the sedan chair stopped, Chu Tiankuo shot three arrows at the sedan chair according to the matchmaker's prompt.
It means three arrows to determine the world: shoot the sky and pray for the blessing of heaven; Shooting the ground represents the eternity of the world; Shoot into the distance and wish you a happy and happy life in the future.
Then, a matchmaker took a red ribbon with a big red flower in the middle, handed it to Chu Tiankuo at one end, and opened the sedan curtain at the other end and handed it to Jiang Zhixia.
Chu Tiankuo was slowly pulling in front, and Jiang Zhixia was helped by the matchmaker to step on the red felt blanket, cross the brazier, and go to the lobby.
Entering the lobby, Chu Tiankuo and Jiang Zhixia stood still, and they sang loudly in praise of the ceremony dressed in joy:
"Worship heaven and earth." Both turned and bowed down to the door.
"Two worship the high hall." The two of them turned around again and bowed deeply to Chu Xiong, who was sitting in the first place.
"Husband and wife worship each other." Jiang Zhixia looked at Chu Tiankuo's red boots under the hijab, knowing that if he continued to bow down, he would really get married.
In ancient times, the marriage book was important, but the wedding ceremony was even more important.
Chu Tiankuo stared at Jiang Zhixia nervously. Although everything was said and done, he was still afraid that Jiang Zhixia would suddenly regret it.
The next moment, his heart finally settled. I saw Jiang Zhixia slowly kneeling down with the support of the matchmaker.
"Please bless the officiant."
Jiang Zhixia thought that he was going to be sent to the cave room, but who knew that the introduction of praise invited the mighty marquis of the officiating marriage to teach and bless the newlyweds.
After wishing Chu Tiankuo and Jiang Zhixia with joy.
There was a chant who sang: "Licheng, send it to the cave room." ”
So, everyone happily hugged the newlyweds into the cave room.
After entering the cave room, the matchmaker asked Chu Tiankuo to sit next to Jiang Zhixia, just to sit for blessings.
The matchmaker was about to press Chu Tiankuo's placket on Jiang Zhixia's placket, but saw Chu Tiankuo stop the matchmaker and pressed Jiang Zhixia's placket on top of her with her own hands.
In the new room, there was a burst of gasping sounds.
Jiang Zhixia didn't know why, and wanted to ask. But the hijab was not lifted and he could not speak, so he had to give up.
Chu Tiankuo motioned for the matchmaker to continue. So, the matchmaker came over with a tray with a weighing rod tied with red silk.
Chu Tiankuo used the scale rod to provoke Jiang Zhixia's red hijab.
Chu Tiankuo looked at the bright and moving Jiang Zhixia under the hijab, and couldn't help but shake his head.
It's really Zhixia who is very plain on weekdays, and it's the first time he has seen such a dazzling Zhixia.
The bridegroom was dazzled. I was reluctant to put the scale rod down. There are familiar military generals' daughters, said jokingly.
The matchmaker also held the tray with a smile, but did not speak.
When Chu Tiankuo heard the ridicule, he came back to his senses embarrassedly, and hurriedly put the scale rod on the tray.
The matchmaker turned the tray to Jiang Zhixia again. Jiang Zhixia hurriedly grasped the wishful thinking along the way and put it on.
"That's a real deal."
The matchmaker smiled and held the tray and sang loudly. When she was done, she placed the tray on the dressing table next to the bedside.
After finishing the release, the matchmaker came over with a tray of gold scissors tied with red silk.
The two men picked up the golden scissors one after another, took a strand of each other's hair, and put it in a tray. The eldest lady, a blessed person, stepped forward and tied two strands of hair in a knot and put them in a purse to tie the hair.
After finishing the hair, the matchmaker let the two of them use a gourd to divide the two scoops and drink the wine.
After these rituals were completed, there were Quanfu people who took gold, silver, candy, jujubes, peanuts, longan, and chestnuts, and sprinkled them on the two of them, and both of them pulled their clothes and continued. It is for the sake of the tent.
In this way, all the rituals were completed, and the people began to rejoice.
Chu Tiankuo smiled in return, and Jiang Zhixia was ashamed to just lower his head and didn't say anything.
The matchmaker began to invite the people in the new house to the front yard for a banquet.
Originally, according to custom, the bridegroom's female relatives were also needed to accompany the bride, so as not to be unfamiliar with the bride and too restrained and afraid.
However, Chu Tiankuo did not have a close daughter---- the only one who was relatively close to Mrs. Lin acted as Jiang Zhixia's marryer.
Therefore, it was communicated in advance and this procedure was omitted. directly left Jiang Zhixia's maid to accompany her in the new house.
Everyone in the new house persuaded the matchmaker to leave, and in the end, even the matchmaker was sent away by a big red envelope.
In the new house, Chu Tiankuo and Jiang Zhixia, as well as Ruolan and Xiaoman, were left.
"I'll go to the front yard to toast first. You let them wait, freshen up, and rest. Later, I'll send them away and keep them from making trouble. You can rest assured. ”
Chu Tiankuo said to Jiang Zhixia.
Jiang Zhixia hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is it okay?" The matchmaker said that she needs to wait until the groom comes back, and there is a hole in the house. Moreover, the bride will wait for the bridegroom to rest. ”
"What's not to do with that. Our general's house, there are not so many rules. Just listen to me. ”
After Chu Tiankuo finished speaking, he instructed Ruolan and Xiao Man to wait for Jiang Zhixia to freshen up and rest.
He turned away and went to the front yard to make a toast.
