The wedding was arranged by the old man Tianji, the village chief, the Sixth Aunt and all other villagers, and the process began.
Old man Tianji became Yongbuli's elder, and Aunt Six became the matchmaker.
The sixth aunt exchanged the "Geng Tie" of Zhao Qian and Yong Buli, which is the so-called eight characters.
Because there is a custom in the village, both parties need to press each other's horoscopes on the bottom of a clean tea cup in front of the statue of the Kitchen Lord to test God's will.
It is also necessary to ensure that there will be no abnormalities between the two families within three days.
For example, there must be no broken bowls, lamps, utensils, etc., no rotten food, no family quarrels, no restless cats and dogs, etc.
Although I don't know Yong Buli's horoscope, old man Tianji can calculate it.
While everyone was waiting, three days passed quickly.
I want to ask Mr. Tianji to arrange the horoscopes. Even if there is a big conflict in six years or a small conflict in three years, or there are conflicting zodiac signs, with Mr. Tianji here, there will be a way to solve the problem no matter how difficult it is.
After everything is complete, the man can start proposing marriage.
The marriage proposal in Qingyuan Village has basically been prepared in advance, and no formalities have been wasted.
Sixty-four pairs of Baotou, sixty-four oil buns, sixty-four sesame cakes, eight loads of old wine, or embroidered silk and satin, etc. were all prepared by the villagers in the village for the two newcomers.
In this way, the man sent the prepared things to the village chief's house, which is the so-called "passing the letter".
Then, the village chief also prepared embroidery, silk quilt cover, quilt head, daily utensils, red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds as gifts in return for the man.
These things that are endowed with "early birth of a noble son" actually mean engagement, a good time and auspicious days, which is the so-called "wending".
Everything went very smoothly.
The time was again set to three days later, which happened to be the best time of the year and the most suitable day for Yong Buli and Zhao Qian to get married.
After waiting for another three days, the main event came, which was the wedding day.
The bride Zhao Qian, with everyone's careful care, is not only grand, but also very beautiful.
The groom is also very handsome.
For this newlywed couple, the words "talented and handsome" are more than enough.
Two farts, Chao Xiangyang, and Shui Mufang were responsible for resisting the sedan chair and carrying Zhao Qian back to the Loneliness Garden from the village chief's house.
In order not to affect his plan, Shui Mufang did not reveal any flaws during the whole process.
On the surface, they are all pandering, but in fact, they are already thinking of ways to burn down Qingyuan Village.
The four people carried the sedan chair to the village chief's door.
At this time, the gongs and drums did not stop, and the excitement continued.
At this time, the woman needs to leave the door open, the so-called "car door blocking".
It can only be opened after stuffing the wedding candies. It is also very important to pay attention to the parking of the sedan. That is, the sedan door must face outwards. After all, you are sending your daughter out. I hope she can live a happy life and not go back to her husband's family to have a disagreement.
.
The other people on the woman's side need to light red candles, hold mirrors, and look into the sedan. This is called "searching the sedan" to expel the evil spirits hiding in the sedan.
The bride's family has a main banquet at noon, commonly known as "opening wine" or "wedding wine".
After the formal banquet, Qi Gu, as the bride, needs to make up for herself three times, but the bride has to pretend that she doesn't want to get married and is too lazy to dress up, and then sits on the bride's lap.
Xi Niang calls the married woman her daughter, and she also helps feed the bride on the sedan chair, which means that she should not forget the kindness of nurturing her. After that, the bride can get on the sedan chair.
When the bride's sedan chair goes out, pure tea and four-color cakes are offered to the "salan god". A bright red lantern opens the way, and winds and beats are played along the way. The bride is the messenger and comes with a name sticker.
The groom, Yong Buli, changed the color of Lonely Garden, and the sky was almost filled with red.
The groom, with a big flower on his chest, greeted the congratulatory blind date at the door and arranged for them to sit down, while waiting for the bride to arrive.
The sedan finally arrived, and suddenly gongs and drums sounded.
A five or six-year-old girl, called Xiao Niang, comes to welcome the bride as she leaves the sedan chair.
After gently tugging on the bride's sleeves three times, the bride slowly got out of the sedan chair.
When the bride leaves the sedan door, she first steps over a vermilion-painted wooden "saddle", supported by the bride's mother, and then stands on the right side of the wedding hall.
At the same time, the groom came into the door after hearing the sedan and pretended to be hiding elsewhere. The girls holding flowers and candles asked them to return to the door and stand on the left side to greet the bride.
The groom held the bride wearing a red veil with a big flower knot and walked slowly into the hall.
Later, Uncle Qi shouted as a praiser: "The auspicious time has come!"
Immediately afterwards, the gongs and drums sounded again.
"Please invite the bride and groom to kneel before the incense table."
At this time, Zhao Qian looked at Yong Buli through the red veil, looking full of joy.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
Everyone looked at the shouting person.
A masked woman in black clothes appeared in front of everyone.
Zhao Qian's first reaction was to think of the woman she had seen in the courtyard before, and her voice was very similar.
He blurted out without hesitation: "Su Mengjing!"
Su Mengjing?
This person is Su Mengjing!
Why did Zhao Qian know Su Mengjing?
Why did she know that Su Mengjing was still alive, but never told herself.
Yong Buli was shocked!
"Who is this!"
"Not from this village!"
"What does she want to do!"
The villagers were talking a lot.
"I'm here to tell you that someone is going to burn your village tonight!"
"Who?" Old Man Tianji stood up and asked.
"I don't know. Anyway, I'm here to inform you! It's up to you whether you believe it or not!"
After Su Mengjing finished speaking, she turned around and left.
"Su..."
"It's amazing, I saw kerosene everywhere on the ground!"
Just as Yong Buli was about to call Su Mengjing to stop, a villager unexpectedly ran in in panic.
At the same time, her sleeve was also held by Zhao Qian, preventing her from going forward to ask Su Mengjing for clarification.
He watched Su Mengjing disappear from his sight.
Suddenly, everyone started to make a fuss.
"Village chief, please postpone the wedding for now! Arrange everyone first and check everywhere to avoid the worst case scenario where the whole village is on fire!" Old Man Tianji said.
The village chief thought for a moment and said to everyone: "Everyone, go home quickly and look around to see if there is any kerosene!"
After hearing this, everyone left the Solitude Garden one after another.
The scene was chaotic.
"Daddy!"
Zhao Qian seemed a little unwilling.
"Okay, once this matter is settled, we will hold the wedding right away! Be good, my child!"
After the village chief finished speaking, he left.
Zhao Qian was so angry that she took off the red veil, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it desperately.
At this time!
Yong Buli suddenly remembered that Shui Mufang had told him that he would set fire to Qingyuan Village.
In desperation, he said to Zhao Qian:
"I'm going to find Shuizai!"
"Do you think Shuizai set off the sky fire? Is he capable of this?"
"I don't know, I hope it's not him!"
After Yong Buli finished speaking, he ran out of the house to look for Shui Mufang.
