Chapter 1209 sedan chair ceremony
Although accompanied by melodious drum music and firecrackers, Nangong Li went out of the gate, but he couldn't get on the sedan chair. Getting married is a lifelong event, and it is very tedious.
Nangong Li stood in front of the gate of Nangong Mansion and stood for about a quarter of an hour.
Yan Feixue stepped forward and shouted, "The bride is on the sedan chair!"
But Nangong Li was unmoved, and about a quarter of an hour later, Yan Feixue shouted a second time: "The bride is on the sedan chair!"
Nangong Li still didn't move.
In the last quarter of an hour, Yan Feixue shouted: "The bride is on the sedan chair!" This process is called hypnotic. This is also a rite when a woman gets married, and she must pretend that she is unwilling to marry.
Of course, there are also cases in this world where the bride is really unwilling to marry, such as marrying someone she doesn't like, or someone she has never met.
If it weren't for Nangong Li, who was sent to Mount Emei to practice since childhood, Qiu Yuling's family suddenly changed. Presumably, they are the same as other ladies, they don't go out of the door, they just wait for their family to say goodbye.
In this era, there is no blind date, the parents order the matchmaker, no matter whether the other party is good or bad, as long as both parents nod, then the girl must marry that person, no matter what the person's character is, what age is, even if it is lame, crazy, stupid, or even disabled.
However, Lin Luoyao is a special case, although Lin Luoyao is also from a wealthy family, but she is eclectic, anyone who wants to marry her, she has to look at it first, unless she nods, otherwise even her grandfather Lin Jia has no temper, after all, Lin Luoyao is the youngest granddaughter, and the baby bump in the family.
When she was at home, she didn't say that she was crying and making trouble, even if she didn't eat, several of her aunts and grandmothers could cry urgently.
This is also the difference between Lin Luoyao and many girls, which is why she sometimes looks down on Nangong Li, although Nangong Li also has times of rebellion in her eyes, but she is also a submissive and unassertive person.
This is also what Lin Luoyao is worried about, if she is not by Lou Yun and her side one day, she and Lou Yun will probably become ants on a hot pot.
This hypnotic ceremony, the bride has to cry three times, although on the day of the big day, you can't cry but this is also the rule. Nangong Li was happy in her heart, where could she still cry? She could only cope with three times.
But this is not the end, after the makeup ceremony is completed, there is still a chair in Nangong's house at this time, and then Mrs. Liu, who is dressed in a brocade dress, sits on the chair.
As Nangong Li's mother, Mrs. Liu is also a rare beauty, although she is nearly middle-aged, she still has charm.
Yan Feixue dressed her up, and her appearance was even better than that of many young girls present. And her eyebrows are three points similar to Nangong Li.
At this time, with the support of Lu Yu and others, Nangong Li sat on Mrs. Liu's lap, and then the maid of the Nangong family brought a bowl of lotus seed soup.
Nangong Li likes to eat hot and sour noodles, but she loves lotus seed soup the most, especially the one made by her mother.
This is called "sedan chair rice", and every woman must be fed by her mother when she gets married. Of course, children from poor families don't have so many rules, but big families don't have the same rules.
If you don't have a mother, then you have a mother, and if you don't have a mother, you have a sister. If you don't have a sister, then it's a sister-in-law. No matter how you feed this sedan meal, you always have it.
The meaning of feeding the sedan chair rice is to let the daughter not forget the nurturing grace of her parents.
After feeding the sedan chair, Nangong Yi took a deep breath and came to his sister's side. He bent down slightly, dragged Nangong Li's back and legs, and picked Nangong Li up.
This is the second step of the sedan chair ceremony, which is called "hugging the sedan chair".
When a woman gets married, her brother carries a sedan chair, and when her sister gets married, her brother also walks in front of her sister's sedan chair to accompany her, which is called "sending a sedan chair".
If there is no elder brother, then the younger brother comes, and if not, the father himself comes. In short, just like feeding the sedan chair, there must always be a relative who carries the girl on the sedan chair.
Yan Feixue gently lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and let Nangong Yi carry Nangong Li in.
Even if the sedan chair is completed, but it will be hard for Nangong Li below, because of the rules of the bride, she can't move after getting on the sedan chair, especially her legs and upper body. This means "peace and stability".
Under the bridal seat, a fire with charcoal fire and spices is put down, and a mat is tied on the rear sedan bar of the sedan chair, which is commonly known as "fire in the sedan chair, mat behind the sedan chair".
This made Nangong Li somewhat uncomfortable.
But at this point, the etiquette of getting on the sedan chair is completed.
Although Nangong Li's side is finished, the Lin family's side is not finished yet.
Lou Yun came to the Lin family again as he did just now.
Of course, the brides on the Lin family's side are Lan Qi and Lan Fang. As senior sisters, they naturally won't make things difficult for Lou Yun.
The Lin family is also very happy about this family business, especially Lin Luoyao's father, Lou Yun's father-in-law, he is a professional businessman, he only has interests in his eyes, and he can have such a son-in-law who is an official and a eunuch has really brought him a lot of profits.
Of course, this is not pure profit, but prestige, which is not something that money can buy.
The fact that his son-in-law is Wei Guogong has spread all over the businessman's circle, and because some people want to connect with Wei Guogong through him, he can make a lot of money. And with the relationship of Wei Guogong, those adults who are looking for him to be filial to him must also be more restrained.
With these in the Lin family, you can sit back and relax, and he doesn't care at all whether his daughter is married as a wife or a concubine.
This is the indifference of businessmen, who dare to take risks as long as they have fifty percent of the profits. If he has ten percent of the profits, he dares to risk killing his head, and if there is three times the profits, he dares to despise everything, even if it is his own flesh and blood.
And this marriage brought more than three times the profit to the Lin family. Thirty times more than that.
Lin Jia's bet this time was right, although he did not rely on his relationship with Lou Yun to catch the pulse of the Zhongzhou League, but he got better.
On the Lin family's side, Lou Yun took out the Qiu Yuling very smoothly. And when she was finally fed the sedan chair, it was not Lin Luoyao's biological mother who fed the food, but her second sister, Lin Luoshuang.
But something went wrong when I got on the sedan car at the end.
Because he wanted his brother to hold the sedan chair, but Lin Luotian was weak since he was a child, and although his body was healthy, he was not strong, and he was even a little slender.
Originally, according to the previous discussion of the Lin family, Lin Luoyao's brother-in-law was allowed to carry her on the sedan chair. After that, it was enough for Lin Luotian to accompany him.
But Lin Luotian insisted on holding his "sister" in the sedan chair.
Everyone couldn't twist the eldest young master, so they let him go.
