Chapter 251: The Wedding Gift
The wedding was originally held at dusk, and it was supposed to be held at dusk. Now the sun is turning west, and the autumn sun is turning orange. Chai Murong was dressed in a red wedding dress, stepped on a tall horse, and set off with a team to welcome the bride back to the house.
Li Mu, Yi Fan, and Shen Li's original plan was just to come to Chai Mansion to deliver a letter. However, he was left behind by Chai Ge and Chai Murong. In addition, there was Huang Dou watching from the side, and Li Mu and the other three had no chance to leave. So Li Mu simply settled down and became a guest of Chai Mansion with peace of mind.
From the morning, guests come to the door. Manager Zhang also did the work originally arranged and stood at the door to greet the guests. The money and gifts brought by the guests will be registered in the account room next to them.
At noon, Chai Mansion also set up several tables of banquets to entertain the guests who came to Chai Mansion in the morning. Then at the end of the day, Chai Murong set off to greet his relatives.
Greeting is greeting, and it is also the last of the six rites.
For the Chai family and the Ni family, all etiquette must be in accordance with the rules. From the very beginning, Nacai, Najib, Najib, Recruitment, Invitation, and Welcome, everything is in accordance with the ancient rites, step by step. And entering, is the last step, welcome.
Chai Murong went with the welcoming team, and the Chai family was full of friends. Several halls used to entertain guests are crowded with guests. The guests included relatives of the Chai family, friends in the business of the Chai family, and friends in the rivers and lakes. Relatives and friends, all gathered together.
Li Mu and the others crowded in a corner outside the door of Chaifu, watching the welcoming procession of Chaifu go away. Unlike the guests around them, they hardly knew anyone, so they had to huddle together. Due to the presence of Huang Dou and He Xingkong, Li Mu and the three of them couldn't say anything intimate, at most they could say haha.
Shen Li looked at the welcoming team and said, "It's really powerful." ”
Li Mu said beside him: "This is the strength of the Chai family." ”
"Rich people are all playing like this. When I was in Yacheng, I saw a large family, and the work was more excessive than this meeting. Yi Fan said with his arms crossed.
Li Mu looked at him and asked, "What do you mean by excess?"
"It's just over the point where I can put the score. Yi Fan patted the hidden pocket in his shirt, "In other words, I did what I didn't have money to do." ”
"Eh, how do I remember that some people said that they wanted to marry Jiang Chengxue, the world's most beautiful woman, as their wife. How can you do it without money?" Shen Li teased.
"Tut-tut, that's a matter of realm. If you have money to take the first beauty in the world, and if you don't have money, you can marry the first beauty in the world, which is completely a reflection of inability and ability. Yi Fan held his head high and said unashamedly.
These words made Shen Li roll his eyes for a while, "What you mean by this is that you not only want the white wolf with empty gloves, but also the first beauty in the world to stick upside down......!
Even Huang Dou, who didn't deal well with Li Mu, heard this, and showed a little disdain for Yi Fan. "The world's first beauty, Jiang Chengxue, is ridiculous. ”
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, I'm telling the truth. Yi Fan said seriously.
Li Mu knew that the more serious Yi Fan looked on his face, the more unserious he was. So just smiled and shook his head and didn't speak. Huang Dou snorted coldly, glanced at Yi Fan with a fool-like look, and turned his head.
The greeting procession turned around the corner and quickly disappeared into the eyes of the guests of Chaifu. However, almost all the people in Yanxiang City poured out to see the excitement, and they followed the procession to welcome their relatives and went together.
The eldest lady of the Ni family who wants to marry Chai Murong - Ni Xing'er. Accompanied by his parents, he came to Yanxiang City. The Ni family is from Linzhou and is also a wealthy family. Originally, they were business partners of the Yao family. It is precisely because of Yao Rulin's matchmaking that the Chai family and the Ni family have business contacts, and then there is an in-law between the Chai family and the Ni family.
Shengzhou is southeast of Dayi, while Linzhou already belongs to the north. Linzhou and Shengzhou are also separated by Qiangzhou and Lanzhou, and the distance between the two states is definitely not close. If Chai Murong is asked to take people from Shengzhou to Linzhou to greet relatives, this large group of people will stop and go, I am afraid that it will take three or four months to go back and forth.
So the two families also agreed before, according to the man's rules, let the Ni family, as the woman, come to Shengzhou first and live in Yanxiang City. When the Chai family greeted their relatives, it was just a formality, taking people around Yanxiang City, and then welcoming Ni Xing'er back.
Under the lively onlookers of almost the whole city, Chai Murong came to a courtyard where the Ni family temporarily lived. After a few rituals, the bride wearing the phoenix crown was invited to the sedan chair under the gaze of everyone. According to the marriage customs of Shengzhou, there is no turning back to greet relatives, so Chai Murong rode his horse and led the team to Chai's house in another direction.
The welcoming team went around Yanxiang City lively, and returned to the door of Chai's house in Shenshi. The sedan chair was dropped in front of the door, and the bride was carried out of the sedan chair by Chai Murong's uncle and sent to the Chai Mansion. Boasting over the brazier in the vestibule, the bride was ushered into the lobby.
The lobby has long been properly arranged, with a picture of Xi characters, red silk and red candles, and table offerings. There are four seats on the top. It was prepared for the parents of Chai Ni's two families.
The two newlyweds walked into the lobby, and the next step was to pray to the ancestors, worship the church, and so on.
The guests of the Chai family were crowded inside and outside the lobby, looking at the couple. The matchmaker is happy to support the bride. Although I don't see the bride's true face, I should be a beauty when I look at that figure. And the groom Chai Murong, today is full of spirit and heroic spirit, which can really be described as a match made in heaven.
Li Mu and the others were brought into the lobby by Huang Dou and watched the wedding in the southeast corner.
In the faint light of the happy candles, Li Mu looked at the auspicious scene in front of him, and his eyes were slightly in a trance. He was thinking at this time, if he agreed to Ning Xibai's proposal in the first chapter at that time, he would join the Ning family. So has he already experienced such a scene with Ning Zhitong?
Thinking of this, Li Mu looked at the bride, thinking about Ning Zhitong's appearance in a wedding dress. However, the appearance quickly blurred, like a light gauze hijab. Li Mu could only see a blurry face through this light veil. It's a bit like Ning Zhitong, and it's a bit like Shen Li. So much so that in the end, Li Mu no longer knew who the person in front of him was.
Li Mu smiled bitterly and hit himself hard to sober himself up. He secretly glanced at Shen Li beside him. Shen Li also stared at the team of newcomers who were saluting in a daze, but there seemed to be tears flashing in her eyes.
Li Mu was a little strange, leaned up and asked, "Shen Li, what are you doing here?"
Shen Li said stupidly: "I'm thinking about what my wedding will look like." As she spoke, she looked at Li Mu with some expectations. Li Mu felt that there seemed to be light in her eyes, which made him a little unable to open his eyes.
Li Mu rolled his gaze slightly, not daring to look directly at Shen Li. However, he still followed Shen Li's words and asked, "What will it look like?"
Shen Li still looked at him and said, "I hope it's a grand wedding." As for when it will take place and how long it will take place. I wouldn't mind. The only thing I mind is the person standing across from me, I hope it's you. After speaking, Shen Li followed again, "I only hope it's you." ”
Li Mu's heart was burned again, and he looked at the newcomers in the lobby who were worshipping each other, and fell into the familiar entanglement and helplessness. The mind that he wants to grasp on both sides, and the mentality that he doesn't want to live up to on both sides, makes him a complete coward in the matter of feelings. So much so that he didn't even dare to answer Shen Li's words.
But at this time, Huang Dou suddenly laughed. He whispered, "Shen Li, Master said that your heart has been taken away by someone. Sure enough, it's this person, but you entered my Nine Hundred Sect because of your rough life, are you really not afraid of killing this person?"
Shen Li frowned and didn't say a word. She knew her destiny very early, because of her experience since she was a child, and because Ling Jiuhao had already told her clearly when she accepted her apprenticeship. Her character of being pessimistic and seeking death is largely caused by knowing the fate of her Heavenly Evil Lone Star.
At this time, Yi Fan pointed at Li Mu on the side and said, "As far as I know, because of the shark bead, this guy's life has hardened to the extent that he is not afraid of grams." He smiled domineeringly and continued: "I'll worry about the two of them, so I won't bother you." ”
Hearing this, Huang Dou snorted coldly, "Li Mu can't be killed, you and I can do it." ”
"Today's big day, aren't you afraid of letting the Chai family rush into trouble? Besides, don't you ask Li Mu, what will happen if you kill me?" Yi Fan glanced at Li Mu and smiled proudly at Huang Dou.
Li Mu said very cooperatively: "Kill him, and you won't want me to do things for you again." ”
Listening to Li Mu's words, and looking at Yi Fan's smile that couldn't be cheaper, Huang Dou's fist squeaked, but after all, he still suppressed his anger and didn't look over. Li Mu saw Huang Dou's expression in his eyes, patted Yi Fan's arm, and signaled him to be more restrained.
The chapel in the lobby was soon over. The bride is sent into the cave room, and the guests begin to take their seats. Soon, the groom Chai Murong turned out again, and the wedding banquet of the Chai family began. Unlike the daytime meal, the dinner at night is the most luxurious. Abalone sea cucumber, bird's nest shark fin. The delicacies were all served on the table.
Dishes are good dishes, and wine is good wine. It can be said that the guests and hosts are happy, so lively.
The flowing water banquet that stretches for a whole street outside the gate of Chaifu, as long as you say congratulations, you can sit down. Although the above dishes are not as rich as those in the house, there are a lot of fish, sheep, chickens and ducks.
The night is like water, shrouding the joyful Yanxiang City. However, just outside the city, a group of black-clothed people were gathering together and heading towards Yanxiang City.
