Chapter 92: Liu Anlan's late marriage
At night, Hong Ying and Liu Yong leaned on the bed.
Hong Yingdao: There is a way to 'start a family and start a business', and you should start a family first and then start a business. Now, Anlan has become famous, not to mention that he is not young, and only when a man has a family and knows his responsibilities can he devote himself to starting a business. In my opinion, they should choose an auspicious day to tie their marriage, which is also a big event.
Liu Yong smiled and said: Mrs. said the same. Recently, there are too many things, so you might as well work hard to see the days, and ask the matchmaker to inform the Qiu family.
Hong Yingdao: The son's marriage is a big event, how can it be hard to be a mother. I'll just arrange it in the next few days.
At this time, Hong Ying felt a wave of nausea and wanted to vomit.
Liu Yong asked with concern: Where is Madame unwell, do you want to invite Lang Zhong to take a look?
Hong Ying blushed, glanced at Liu Yong obliquely, and said: You, it's true. I've been a dad for so long, don't you understand this?
Liu Yong looked at Hong Ying in surprise and said with a smile: Could it be that Mrs. is pregnant again?
Hong Ying smiled: Ask yourself.
Liu Yong hugged Hong Ying in his arms, squinted his eyes, and had a smile on his face.
......
The Qiu family compound is located in Nanxun Oak Bay, and the yard is full of various pomegranates, oranges and other flowers and fruits.
Mrs. Wang entered the Qiu family's compound with a smile.
Mrs. Qiu saw Mrs. Wang coming in, and greeted her with a smile: Granny Wang is here, does the Liu family want you to come and give you a day?
Mrs. Wang smiled and said: Yes, yes, if you want me to say, your two families were originally world friends, and you both need to set a date. Then Mrs. Liu, I have to go to this old woman and listen to your opinions. I'm an old woman, and now it's not like it used to be, and I can't walk with this leg. Oh, Mrs. Qiu, your daughter, you are really blessed, Liu Gongzi, she is already a showman, she is still a tribute student, and she will definitely be an official in the future.
Mrs. Qiu smiled: I have heard about it. Again: How can a matchmaker be so good. Eighteen hooves aren't all that tasty either. It is called foot and head work, and the clothes are new.
Haha, the two of them laughed.
Hearing that Mrs. Wang came to give the wedding day, Qiu Xiancha also came out and said: We are fine here, anyway, his family is decided. Sooner or later, the daughter will belong to someone else.
Mrs. Wang said with a smile: His family, I asked someone to see the date, and it was set for August 16. I wonder what your family thinks?
Qiu Xiancha said: August 16 is an auspicious day for the zodiac. Fifteen moons and sixteen rounds, which is also quite good. It's not been a few days, I don't know what else my wife hasn't prepared, is it too late?
Mrs. Qiu said with a smile: What is too late, the dowry has already been prepared, it is nothing more than that the date is set to invite guests.
Qiu Xiancha said: Then according to the day set by the Liu family.
Mrs. Wang said goodbye with a smile.
......
The weather in Jiangnan in August is sunny and crisp in autumn. There are two osmanthus trees in the courtyard of Liu's house, full of golden trees, fragrant and elegant.
In the past few days, the Liu family has been busy up and down, and the entire compound is hung with lights, showing a joyful scene.
The Liu family was originally a faceless family in the local area, so the marriage was particularly grand.
Some people are killing pigs, some people are building sheds, some people are moving stools and tables, and the four palace lamps are hanging high in the hall, and the candle sparks in the palace lamps are jumping in the breeze, exuding dazzling brilliance.
The busiest has to count Hong Ying, she is busy sewing quilts with red silk threads for a while, and inviting neighbors' aunts and aunts to help make cakes, rice dumplings, regiments, and gardens, symbolizing the artistic conception of high school reunion. The girls were busy pasting big red happy characters on the doors and windows, and it was a lively and extraordinary scene.
Liu Anlan is getting married, and the Liu family was originally a faceless family in the local area, so the marriage was very grand.
Some people are killing pigs, some people are building sheds, some people are moving stools and tables, and the four palace lamps are hanging high in the hall, and the candle sparks in the palace lamps are jumping in the breeze, exuding dazzling brilliance.
The busiest has to count Hong Ying, she is busy sewing quilts with red silk threads for a while, and inviting neighbors' aunts and aunts to help make cakes, rice dumplings, regiments, and gardens, symbolizing the artistic conception of high school reunion. The girls were busy pasting big red happy characters on the doors and windows, and it was a lively and extraordinary scene.
Liu Anlan is getting married, Shen Yonglin is old, although his daughter is no longer there, he is his grandfather after all, as the saying goes, 'thousands of years continue to be the door of the mother's house, and the road of the uncle's house for ten thousand years'. But according to the rules, the biggest position in the wedding banquet is the uncle, so the grandparents can't arrange seats, so there is a gift to go to the grandparents' house to worship the ancestors after marriage, so Shen Yonglin also asked someone to send a congratulatory gift.
The night before the wedding, it is called Xie Matchmaker, and it is also called Liuzuo Night Dinner. Song Hongsheng accompanied Mrs. Wang as his uncle to drink Xie matchmaker's wine. At the same time, we will also discuss matters related to tomorrow's marriage.
After dinner, a small climax was held.
In the hall, two square tables are lined up together, a pair of red candles are dancing on the flames, the table is steaming with sweet tea, and the people sitting on both sides of the table are all uncles, uncles, and uncles, and others are not qualified to sit, which is called 'Zhuangyuan Tai'. The surrounding area of the 'Zhuangyuan Terrace' was full of people watching the excitement, and they wanted to witness the exchange of gifts and gifts for the wedding of the Liu family and their son, so as to become the capital of the conversation the next day.
At the end of the ceremony, the sound of firecrackers was used to express celebration.
Watch the lively crowd gradually disperse.
On the road.
Some say: Alas, people are more popular than dead people.
Kind of: How many of our local ones can be like theirs? So it can't be compared.
The crowd dispersed, but the Liu family was still busy.
The whirring sound of gasoline lamps illuminates the surroundings as if it were daytime.
The sound of 'chopping, chopping, chopping' in the kitchen room is even more crisp and ear-catching; the chefs must rough process and shape tomorrow's dishes tonight, otherwise, tomorrow will be caught off guard; the women are still busy and want to make all the gnocchi that so many people eat tomorrow morning; Hong Ying can't even take care of eating, and tonight, she doesn't want to sleep. After 12 o'clock, you have to ask for Bailly City, pig's head, carp, and chicken must be prepared, the chicken must be whole, and a few chicken feathers must be left on the buttocks; Tomorrow I will marry and all the details must be arranged; Tomorrow, she will prepare all the etiquette for the bride to enter the door, the candy for tea, and the melon seeds. It's tiring, but she's happy. Hong Ying felt a little thirsty, picked up the teacup and took a sip, wow! She remembered that there was another big event, which was not arranged and almost forgot. On the night before the wedding, the new bed cannot be empty, and it is necessary to sleep with a boy who has not been married, which is called a 'pressed bed'. She hurriedly asked someone to find her son An Jiang, and the unmarried boy An Jiang was just right.
When An Jiang heard that he was asked to sleep in a new bed, he was both happy and strange, and asked: Why did you ask me to sleep in a new bed if I wasn't married?
Hong Ying smiled and said: If you are told to sleep, you will sleep, where is there so much nonsense.
Several women who were making glutinous rice balls there smiled and said: An Jiang, An Jiang, you still have something to do when you sleep in the new bed tonight, you must pee on the new bed.
An Jiang asked Hong Ying stupidly: Mom, is it true?
Hong Ying smiled and asked: What do you say?
It made everyone laugh.
Liu Yong also said with a smile on the side: People say nerds, they are nerds. So, there's a lot to learn.
......
The next day, August 16, is the day to greet the family.
After lunch, Song Hongsheng, on behalf of the man's elders, went to Qiu's house under the guidance of Mrs. Wang.
......
On the barn in front of the door, the banks of the river are waiting for the arrival of this newcomer.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Do you hear the suona sound?
Everyone immediately calmed down. Really, when I heard the sound of suona, everyone shouted: The bride is coming, the bride is coming!
Someone quickly walked in the door to report Liu Yong, and Liu Yong immediately called someone to fire a cannon to greet him.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Eight firecrackers were fired in a row, showing the specifications of the host's wedding, and then the sound of firecrackers resounded in the sky.
When the sedan chair arrived at the door, someone told the sedan chair not to stop, and it needed to rotate 360 degrees, which was called the spinning rice pier, which meant that there was no worry about food and clothing in the future. Then the sedan chair stopped, and the makeup mother opened the sedan curtain, and instructed the maid to help the bride out of the sedan chair, and take care of it, and step over a pile of fire feet at the door, which means that the future life is prosperous and the career is prosperous.
Yeon-yeon wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, feeling as if she was acting. When the bride arrived at the door, she couldn't walk in directly, so her uncle Song Hongsheng carried the bride into the house.
In the hall, people were crowded, some simply stood on stools, and children carried on the shoulders of adults, lest they not see a wonderful scene.
At this time, the groom Liu Anlan was wearing a top hat and a leather jacket, and a big corsage was hung on his chest, which was led out by people, and the groom Liu Anlan and the bride Qiu Yanyan stood face to face, An Lan smiled at Yanyan, Yanyan didn't dare to look up, and saw that everyone was staring at her.
At this time, the band sounded and firecrackers rang out. The host announced: The bride and groom worship heaven and earth, worship the high hall, and the husband and wife worship each other. Anyway, someone commanded it, and they just did it. Then he said: The bride and groom are seated.
I saw that the two eight immortal tables in the center of the hall were lined up together, the tables were full of all kinds of melons and fruits, a pair of dragon and phoenix candles in front of them had been lit, the groom Anlan was sitting in the east, the bride Yanyan was sitting in the west, the two were sitting facing south, and the east was the woman's escort; On the west side are men, all of whom are girls of the same generation as An Lan. Standing next to the groom is Daddy Liu Yong, and standing next to the bride is Mother Hong Ying. It's called sitting on a candle.
Liu Yong and Hong Ying respectively took a piece of candy and stuffed it into the mouth of the bride and groom, which means that life will be sweet and sweet in the future. Later, some relatives and friends also came to congratulate them, and the man's companion also added fruit and sugar to the woman's companion.
The bride is still wearing makeup there, and the head is still covered with a hood, and people are focused on the woman's escort.
One said: You see that the two escorts are beautiful.
One said: You don't know this young lady over there, she is the daughter of the dignified Jin family.
One said: She is Miss Qianjin, how can we, ordinary people, know each other.
After a few moments, the candle is over, and the bride and groom are sent into the cave room.
The door was closed, and there were only the groom An Lan and the bride Yanyan in the room. An Lan picked up a bamboo pole and picked up the red head cover that was placed on Yanyan's head. At this time, Yanyan smiled at An Lan, couldn't wait to hug An Lan, kissed him on the face, and then laughed herself.
Yanyan laughed out loud, making Liu Anlan a little baffled. Finally, Yanyan said: You go and look in the mirror.
Liu Anlan came to the dresser and saw a deep lipstick mark on his face......
