The bride-to-be and those who came to welcome the bride followed the bride out of the gate of Xie's house.
The autumn and winter winds have been cold, but today the sun is just right. It seems that there is a lot of time, the golden clouds are melting, and the wind is blowing and the white clouds are rolling. It is an excellent weather.
At this time, there were a lot of people watching the excitement gathered in front of the Xie family's gate. Occasionally, two or three people were whispering to each other, but no one was making any noise. Most of them stretched their necks to watch the bride go out.
.
Xie Yi'an carried Xie Yixiao to the front of the float and put her down.
Mrs. Cao Guogong was just about to reach out to help the bride get on the float, but she saw Rong Ci on the side had already reached out to support the bride's arm and asked her to step onto the step stool. The two maids following behind were adjusting the bride's wedding dress.
Swing, follow closely.
The curtain of the float fell down, causing some ripples, and separated the bride in the carriage.
Mrs. Cao Guogong raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling funny in her heart.
Rong Ci saluted Xie Yian: "Brother, please stay."
Xie Yian returned the favor and said, "You two have a good trip. If you come back someday, we will have tea together."
Rong Ci replied: "Okay."
After picking up the newcomers, saying goodbye to Xie Yian, they were about to return. When Rong Ci got on the horse, the master of ceremonies shouted loudly: "Take the newcomers back home -"
Then the people who had been prepared early started to set off firecrackers, which kept crackling, and the carriage shook slightly, and then slowly drove forward.
After the bride was picked up, the front door of Xie's house was covered with red paper after setting off firecrackers. Most of the people watching followed the float forward, and the excitement was suddenly mostly empty.
Xie Yian stood there, watching the wedding team go away, and sighed softly. In the past, he always felt a little regretful, thinking that he had not given birth to a girl, but now that he thought about it carefully, it was actually quite good.
It was really heartbreaking to have the baby cabbage taken away even after the cabbage pot was taken away. I couldn’t help but be at odds with my son-in-law.
Seeing that Li Youguang did not leave with the wedding team, Dongfang Bai said a few words to the people beside him, and then stayed. The onlookers dispersed, and there were a few more guards around Li Youguang.
Dongfang Jibai came forward and said, "Young Master, are you going back to the palace? Or are you going to the Rong family for a wedding banquet?"
Li Youguang turned around and left. Seeing this, Dongfang Jibai took a step behind and followed closely. Li Youguang looked at the road ahead, and then said: "I want to drink the wedding wine, but it's still early to eat the wedding wine. When will the newlyweds come in?"
Dongfang Jibai said: "Shen Shichu (15 o'clock)." After all, it is only the middle of the day (10 o'clock). There is a gap of more than two hours. It is really early to have the wedding wine.
Thinking of this, Dongfang was both white and secretly glad that the master had come well. He had an excuse to run fast. Otherwise, it would be difficult to leave halfway. Wouldn't he have to follow the wedding team everywhere?
"Young master, don't you want to play with Rong Jing Rongxuan and the others?"
Li Youguang paused, then glanced at him.
Dongfang Jibai didn't know why, but he suddenly had some premonitions of danger. He quickly changed his words and suggested: "How about we go to Jiangshang Qingfeng Tower and sit down?"
"By the way, you haven't been to Jiangshang Qingfeng Tower yet, right? It's very lively there now, especially on such a good day, it's not worse than Chang'an Tower."
Chang'an Tower is the most famous and lively teahouse in the Imperial City. You can know all the gossips in the Imperial City just by sitting down there, drinking a cup of tea and listening to a book for a while.
Li Youguang originally planned to go to the wedding banquet, but he didn't want to play with his two simple-minded cousins and felt that every time he hung out with them, he would be so angry that his eyebrows would beat.
A bit sad.
"Go to Jiangshang Qingfeng Tower."
"Okay, then let's go to Jiangshang Qingfeng Tower."
Dongfang Jibai hurriedly took people to the Jiangshang Qingfeng Building, found the manager Mu, and asked him to arrange a quiet private room, and then brought some food. He looked at the Jiangshang Qingfeng and listened to the detailed gossip in the building. He was very
of leisurely.
Today's topic is naturally the marriage between Duke Rong and the Xie family. Everyone expressed their blessings to this marriage. Dongfang Jibai listened for a while and felt satisfied.
After Xie Yixiao got on the float, the float walked all the way forward. Not long after, she felt a little tired holding the fan in her hand, so she put the fan down. Anyway, there was no one except Mingxin Black Tea in the carriage.
Can see.
The float prepared by the Rong family was not small, and there was a wooden couch placed near the inside. There were red quilts and soft pillows on the wooden couch. If she was tired, she could rest in the carriage.
There was a red gauze curtain hung in the carriage, which swayed gently as the carriage swayed. There was a cabinet with a concave surface on the side, with tea and food on it. If you were hungry, you could eat some.
There are also two embroidery stools prepared next to them, which are prepared for the two maids.
Ming Xin must have been warned, and she carefully checked the things in the carriage. When she thought there were no problems, she smiled at Xie Yi and said, "If you are tired, girl, please take a rest."
When getting married, the bride has calculated the time when she goes out and when she comes in. She usually leaves the pavilion in the morning and enters in the evening. If there is still time left in the middle, she will find a place to go around and wait until the auspicious time to enter.
If the interval is too long, you can take a break, but there are rules. The bride cannot get off the float or enter the door. She can only find a place to stop and take a rest.
But the rules are not dead. If you are marrying far away and the journey takes several days, then these rules will not apply.
It's not that far from Xie's house to Rong's house. If you go faster, it won't take you half an hour. If you go slower, it only takes half an hour.
There is now more than two hours in between. Even walking around in the market is useless, and there are also a group of dowry bearers behind them. Even if the newlyweds are not tired, they are tired.
So the two families discussed it and planned to take a detour to the Wind and Rain Pavilion in Bibo Lake, and then stay there for more than an hour. When it was almost done, they would walk around the lake, then around a few streets, and then go to Rong Guogong's Mansion.
Gone.
Xie Yixiao sighed inwardly when he thought about this.
Getting married, etc., everyone is very tired after going through all the hassles of this and that.
But according to current rules, getting married is the most important thing in life and must be taken seriously. The man must show his sincerity, put in the effort, and give enough face to marry the girl into his family, which is how he respects and values the woman.
The carriage slowly came out from Xie's house, and when it reached the lively market, many people gathered around to watch the excitement, counting how many dowries the bride carried, and how the wedding was going.
When they arrived at the lively market, the wedding team walked much slower, and people looked openly at them. Some people were holding wedding candies and handing out wedding candies to those who gathered around them.
