Although the weather in the twelfth lunar month is cold and freezing, the weather here is full of spring.
These days, the Liu family in the small town of Jiangnan Water Town is even more busy. The eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Yong, is getting married, and the bride he is marrying is the goddaughter of Boss Tan. Although the Liu family has a mediocre family background, they still have to have
Face, the story is that the wedding was particularly grand.
Some people are killing pigs, some are building sheds, and some are moving stools and tables. Four palace lanterns are hanging high in the hall. The candle sparks inside the palace lanterns are jumping in the breeze, exuding dazzling brilliance.
The busiest person is Liu Yong’s mother. Her son is getting married. Her daughter-in-law is the goddaughter of Boss Tan, who is also well-known in Nanxun town. Although her family background is far inferior to that of Tan’s family, she is respectable. She is busy sewing with red silk thread.
Later, the neighbor aunties were invited to help make cakes, rice dumplings, dumplings, and garden, which symbolized the artistic conception of high school reunion. The girls were busy pasting big red words "Happy" on the doors and windows, creating a lively scene.
While she was busy, Liu Yongniang called Liu Yong's father Liu Huanzhang to her side and said: "Master, it seems that we are still a little nervous before the sedan chair tomorrow. You might as well go and discuss with Eunuch Gu and ask him to make some arrangements. By the way, he must come for a drink tomorrow."
Two cups.
Liu Huanzhang came to Gu's house. Gu's father-in-law (Fuchang) was sitting in the hall smoking a hookah. When he saw Liu Huanzhang come in, he quickly put down the hookah, stood up to greet him, and said with a smile: Hey, Brother Liu, you are going to be busy these days, congratulations.
congratulations.
Liu Huanzhang took out the invitation and said with a smile: "My son is getting married, and I would like to ask Eunuch Gu to honor me tomorrow."
Eunuch Gu (Fuchang) smiled and said: Your young master is getting married, and his future life will be formidable. We are all neighbors, and it is also a happy event for our Nanxun town. I, Gu, will definitely go to congratulate you.
Liu Huanzhang said embarrassedly: Thank you, Eunuch Gu, for your kindness, and besides...
Gu Fuchang smiled and said: You say it, you say it.
Liu Huanzhang said: The Tan family is also a decent family. There is still some shortage before the wedding sedan tomorrow, so I will discuss it with you.
Gu Fuchang knew what he was talking about and said with a smile: It's easy to talk about, but how much more is missing?
Liu Huanzhang said embarrassedly: There is still about twenty yuan missing.
Gu Fuchang took out 20 yuan from the inner room and handed it to Liu Huanzhang, and then said: The gift is supposed to be tomorrow. I also remind you that there are Zhang, Pang, Xing and others who have plans. You have to go there in person. The wedding is not allowed.
Uninvited.
Liu Huanzhang said: It’s a shame that everyone is spending so much money.
Gu Fuchang said: This reflects our sincere unity in Nanxun Town.
Because their daughter was getting married, "Tan Dechang Silk Shop" put its employees on leave in advance.
Although Yu Hui is not the biological child of Boss Tan and Mrs. Tan, they are very affectionate and will always remember that it was Yu Hui's biological parents who took them in when they were in trouble. Therefore, they really treat Yu Hui as their daughter.
Mrs. Tan was even more busy.
She asked the steward to buy some camphor wood boxes.
He also asked the maid to buy all kinds of rouge pollen and bags.
She also went to buy all kinds of jewelry herself.
The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is an auspicious day. This year is spring, and the weather is particularly sunny.
In the morning, the door of Liu's house became lively, and there was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate him.
Liu Huanzhang greeted them one by one at the door.
Soon, Gu Fuchang, Zhang Songxian and others came in together. Gu Fuchang walked in front, followed by the others.
Liu Huanzhang bowed his hands and said: Thank you all for coming. Your arrival makes my Liu family more glorious.
Gu Fuchang smiled and said: Your young master’s wedding is also a happy event for our Nanxun silk industry. Who dares not to come? Haha.
Gu Fuchang took the lead to go to the manager's table and congratulated him with 10 yuan, and the others followed suit.
Let’s talk about another scene at home.
The crowd filled the hall.
Some people say: Mrs. Tan really wants to marry her daughter, but my family doesn’t have that much dowry for marrying a daughter.
Some people say: The Tan family and his wife "repay each other with every drop of kindness" and are good people.
Some said: The bride is really beautiful, like a lady.
Mrs. Tan, with mixed emotions and tears in her eyes, helped Yu Hui get into the sedan and said a few words of care.
Wang Matchmaker got up from the sedan chair with a sound -
Then there was the sound of the suona, the bang of the suona, the sound of firecrackers, and the crackle of thunder. The gong was sounded in front to clear the way (note: it means to notify the road ahead that if an official's sedan happens to be coming, no matter how big your official is, if you meet the bride
When the sedan comes, the official's sedan must step aside to give way. This is because the official rides in the sedan every day, but the bride only rides in the sedan once in her life.).
In front of and behind the sedan, a pair of boys and girls are holding red lanterns.
Matchmaker Wang walked in front of the sedan chair holding a copper foot stove. Sandalwood was constantly burning in the foot stove, symbolizing the bride's prosperous life after marriage.
Both sides of the road were full of onlookers, some of whom were running over from far away and were panting.
Yu Hui was sitting in the sedan chair, unaware of the scene outside the sedan chair. She thought to herself: It would be great if Liu Yong sat in the sedan chair with her at this time, then she would hug him without hesitation and have a deep kiss with him.
Kissing, she really felt happier than in her dream.
Both sides of the river are full of people watching the fun.
The front door of Liu's house was crowded with people. When they heard the sound of suona, everyone shouted: The bride is here, the bride is here!
Someone quickly walked in to report Liu Huanzhang, and Liu Huanzhang immediately called for people to fire cannons to greet him.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Eight firecrackers were fired in succession, showing the specifications of the host's wedding, and then the sound of firecrackers resounded through the sky.
When the sedan arrived at the door of the house, someone told the sedan not to stop, but to rotate 360 degrees, which is called Xuan Mi Dun, which means that she will have no worries about food and clothing in the future. Then the sedan stopped, and Matchmaker Wang opened the curtain and helped the bride out of the sedan.
, and note that if you step on the fire at the door, it means that your life will be prosperous and your career will be prosperous in the future.
When arriving at the door, the bride cannot walk in directly. Her uncle and uncle have been waiting there for a long time. They ask the bride to sit on a chair and her uncle will carry her into the door.
The hall was packed with people, and some simply stood on stools, with children carried on the shoulders of adults, for fear that they would not be able to see the wonderful scene.
At this time, Liu Yong was wearing a top hat and a leather jacket with a large corsage hanging on his chest. He was led out by someone. The groom Liu Yong and the bride Yu Hui stood face to face. Liu Yong smiled at Yu Hui.
Yu Hui didn't dare to look up and saw everyone staring at her.
At this time, the band sounded and firecrackers went off. The host announced: The bride and groom bowed to heaven and earth, bowed to the high hall twice, and husband and wife bowed to each other. Anyway, someone directed them, so they just followed it. Then he said: The bride and groom are seated.
I saw two Eight Immortals tables lined up in the center of the hall. The tables were filled with all kinds of fruits and melons. A pair of dragon and phoenix candles had been lit in front. The groom Liu Yong was sitting on the east side and the bride Yu Hui was sitting on the west side. They faced each other.
Sitting in the south, standing next to the groom is his father Liu Huanzhang, and standing next to the bride is his mother Mrs. Liu. This is called sitting with flowers and candles.
The father and mother each hold a candy and stuff it into the mouths of the bride and groom, which means that life will be sweet in the future.
After a while, the festivities were over and the bride and groom were sent into the bridal chamber.
The door was closed tightly, and only the groom Liu Yong and the bride Yu Hui were left in the room. Liu Yong picked up a bamboo pole and lifted the red hijab covering Yu Hui's head. At this time, Yu Hui smiled slightly at Liu Yong,
I couldn't wait to hug Liu Yong, kissed him on the face, and then burst out laughing.
Yu Hui burst out laughing, which made Liu Yong a little confused. Finally, Yu Hui said: Go and look in the mirror.
Liu Yong came to the dressing table and saw a deep mouth mark on his face...
Liu Huanzhang is in a very good mood these days. His son Liu Yong has got married, and a big event has been accomplished. He is very satisfied. What's more, the new daughter-in-law is virtuous and hardworking, and the new daughter-in-law's godfather is Boss Tan, who is also a well-known family in Nanxun.
Marrying his goddaughter as a wife is a bit high. Especially for this wedding, under the leadership of Gu Fuchang, all the famous people in Nanxun came. They looked higher than the Liu family, and the gifts were not thin. I originally thought that after this wedding banquet,
There is inevitably a shortage of funds. Now, not to mention one more person, we have a balance of dozens of dollars, which is really a blessing from heaven.
After the wedding banquet, there were a lot of leftovers. Liu Huanzhang was sipping a glass of wine at the table. When he saw Liu Yong coming out, he said: Yong, come and sit down. Dad will have a few words with you.
Liu Yong sat next to his father and said: You tell me.
Liu Huanzhang said: You are now a husband, and you will have children in the future. You must know your responsibilities, treat Yu Hui well in the future, and never mess around with others; secondly, judging from your wedding this time,
, people like Eunuch Gu are highly respected and have given my family a lot of face, so they must repay their kindness; in society, the most important thing is to be a good person, it doesn't matter if you suffer a loss, and don't do things that are unconscionable or harmful to nature. If people do it, God will do it.
Sooner or later there will be retribution.
Liu Yong nodded repeatedly and said: I have remembered everything you said. This chapter has been completed!
