The atmosphere of the welcoming ceremony was very solemn. The black clothes, the gloomy wooden sign of the ancestral temple, and the lingering smoke made it not like a funeral, but at least a bit too serious. But none of this could conceal the ambiguity that surged in every step of the etiquette.
The atmosphere. Those serious pretense, on the contrary, is a kind of concealment, after all, people in the world are more reserved. But this kind of evening ceremony atmosphere is so different from Qin Liang's familiar impression of marriage, so it feels a bit strange.
Qin Liang was not the only one in the entire team. There were several black carriages and people riding horses. But there were only two people in Qin Liang's carriage. One of them was himself, who was sitting in front and driving the car himself, and his bride was in the car.
When he was driving, he had a smile on his face.
Originally, he only needed to start the wheels and hand them over to the groom, but he still had to drive the car himself. It was as if he had given the car to someone else, for fear that the bride would lose it, so he had to guard it and take it home.
The details were a little unconventional, but no one cared. Because at this time, many people still wore white robes when they got married, making it more like a funeral. Today's etiquette is indeed broken to the naked eye.
Just now at the Wang family's residence, it was Qin Liang's second time to meet Wang Lingjun. This time he didn't see his face, as she covered it with a fan. Qin Liang was very satisfied, he had never seen a woman with such a beautiful figure and manners.
It is already autumn in late July, but due to continuous sunny days, the temperature has returned to a bit warm and hot. Wang Lingjun is wearing two layers of clothes again, so her outer layer of loose dark clothes is a bit thin, while the inner layer is thicker and fits her body better.
When Qin Liang led her out before, he took advantage of the afterglow from the west and saw through the thin outer layer of clothing that he could see the wonderful curves of her figure wrapped in the deep clothing underneath, her bulging breasts, and her flexible and beautiful slender figure.
The waist, and the full and beautiful curves of the hips that are slightly wider than the shoulders, are graceful and smooth, with concave and convex lines, which match her slim figure. The soft dark clothes outside, which are black and slightly translucent, remind Qin Liang of
Black silk makes me feel more and more alluring.
But her posture and etiquette were very dignified. Even when Qin Liang saw her body curves in the afterglow of the sun at the moment she went out, Qin Liang still had a mentality that seemed inviolable.
Even though her dress is very plain and the black color is a bit dull, the pure and fragrant youthful atmosphere cannot be concealed at all. Moreover, the natural curves without modification are the miraculous workmanship of the Creator and cannot be compared with artificially modified lines.
Qin Liang took her hand. It felt very good and was very smooth and delicate. Even though her whole body was wrapped tightly, her jade-white hands and wrists were even more shiny and white under the black clothes. They were all in their teens.
Youthful collagen is like jade and snow, and you can't even paint with that color feeling.
Qin Liang couldn't help but raise his hand, put the hand that held Wang Lingjun's in front of his nose and sniffed it, there seemed to be a vague lingering fragrance that was refreshing.
The sun has gone down, and the sunset is reflected in the sky. A wedding without red decorations seems like the sky cannot see through it, and uses the sunset to bless the newlyweds. The colorful clouds are like the whirling mood, cheering and dancing.
Qin Liang raised his head, holding a whip in his hand, his face filled with the warm and happy glow of the sunset.
Now Qin Liang felt a little panicked, but he had to force himself to stay calm and do everything with peace of mind. He was full of expectations for every little thing he did.
Today is the happiest and most comfortable day for Qin Liang, and everything feels wonderful. Who says you have to fall in love first? As long as your wife is beautiful enough, it will be more fresh to enter the bridal chamber directly.
Occasionally, Qin Liang also felt that he was a little impatient. But he didn't blame himself for not being calm at this moment, because he had indeed been patient for too long, almost to the limit, and the bride looked like a fairy when she arrived! It was like ice and fire.
Even in the two heavens, the iron | rod was split by the extreme temperatures. It was quite difficult for Qin Liang to handle almost everything well tonight without showing any impatience.
After several years of hard work, it was finally not in vain. Today, his merits will be fulfilled! His mood was like the water level in Huainan in early summer this year. After a long period of stability, it suddenly rained heavily and was about to reach its peak.
The team finally arrived at Qin's house in Lejin. At this time, the sky had completely darkened. Although it was not yet night, lights were already shining through the surrounding houses.
When he arrived at the gatehouse, Qin Liang jumped out of the carriage vigorously from the front. He strode steadily to the back of the carriage, raised his hands, bent down and bowed to the carriage. At this time, the two dowry maids from behind also came over.
.
Wang Lingjun bent down and walked out of the carriage. When she saw Qin Liang reaching out to hold her, she hesitated for a moment, still covering her face with her fan, and gave her hand to Qin Liang, asking him to help him get out of the car. The two held hands.
Entering Qin Liang's simple and rough courtyard.
Qin Liang had never disliked this courtyard before. After all, it was a large house with a courtyard in the capital. But today, with such a bride in comparison, he felt that it seemed a bit crude and bleak.
The smell of wine and barbecue still lingered in the yard, but the guests had already dispersed. The house had been lively all day long, and when Qin Liang set off to greet the bride, the guests hadn't even finished leaving yet, but now the yard was quiet.
The brother and sister-in-law have finished the preliminary preparations. They will not show up tonight. The new couple will go to see them tomorrow.
Only then did Qin Liang feel that this practice in ancient times was actually quite humane. On the night of the wedding, there were not so many irrelevant people appearing in front of the newlyweds, chattering and making noise in front of them. When the bride was brought back at dusk, it was time for the wedding, and no one was there at this juncture.
Find a sense of presence. Otherwise, you will be tired to death and drunk, and you will not have a wedding. It is better to have a wedding night the next day.
A group of people followed the two people into the yard. Others were moving things and did not follow the house. Only two maids followed Qin Liang and his wife and entered the upper room where he lived. The room had been decorated and the banquet had been laid.
A few, and some items were placed.
Although there are no outsiders, the etiquette must continue. The main reason is that Qin Liang and Wang Lingjun are not familiar with each other yet, so they cannot skip these steps directly.
Wang Lingjun walked to a corner, turned around, put down the fan, and began to wash her hands in a celadon basin of water. She washed in silence for a long time, washing very carefully. This slow look made Qin Liang a little anxious.
.He even wondered if the bride was a bit mysophobic.
After a while, she finally finished washing her hands, and she picked up the fan again to cover herself. Qin Liang then walked up and stirred it up twice in a daze.
The two of them walked to the case together. Qin Liang bent down to bow to her. Seeing her gently nodding, he stepped forward cautiously and took away the fan in her hand. In Qin Liang's eyes, that was simply shocking.
Shi Rongyan's face was finally revealed.
It's a pity that her expression is just like today's solemn etiquette filled with ritual activities and black tone, without any smile. She may be a little nervous, after all, she is a teenage girl, and she was directly given to a strange man and picked up a stranger.
The place.
Qin Liang didn't feel that she was unwilling, because she cooperated throughout the whole process and showed no resistance at all. There was no forced marriage among the Wang family members.
She seems a little embarrassed, her beautiful single-lidded eyes are lowered, and her face is slightly turned to one side. She looks very gentle and pitiful. However, her posture and movements are gentle yet strong, with a soothing and dignified temperament.
, the movements are very smooth. It is difficult for a person without energy to keep his posture steady. Could this beauty be both civil and military?
The couple sat down at the table and knelt down on the banquet table. The maid came forward and filled two bowls with some rice. The other maid cut two small pieces of meat from the roasted suckling pig and placed them in bowls.
Qin Liang didn't care and ate all the meat and rice. He was not full at all. Fortunately, he had eaten before going to welcome the bride. Wang Lingjun just took a bite of meat and picked up a chopstick of rice.
delicate.
At this time, the maid broke a gourd from the middle, poured wine into each of the two halves of the gourd, and handed it over. Qin Liang didn't pay attention, and drank it all in one gulp. After a while, he remembered that he wanted to exchange, and for a while he had to
The empty gourd and ladle was handed to Wang Lingjun.
Wang Lingjun raised his eyes slightly, glanced at him, said nothing, and still made a gesture of drinking.
Qin Liang secretly took a deep breath and warned himself not to make any mistakes again.
Mainly because he was a little distracted just now and had been looking at Wang Lingjun's appearance, which was really good-looking. His clean face was not smeared with anything else, but the color was pure and bright, with jade-white skin, black and smooth hair, and slightly thin red.
His lips were slightly turned with a smooth luster and slightly upturned, like gems and jade in clear water, pure and beautiful, exuding the fragrance of virginity. Qin Liang seemed to be in a courtyard with beautiful mountains and clear waters, listening to the quiet drops of spring water.
Falling into a clear pool.
The whole process is more of a symbolic etiquette than eating and drinking together. It probably symbolizes that in the future, the two will eat and drink regardless of each other's intentions. But this is probably an implicit image. Qin Liang doesn't believe that getting married is just to be together.
Have a meal.
Finally, there is one last ritual left, putting their hair together.
Then the two maids bowed and left, closing the door behind them. Qin Liang stepped forward and bolted the door, turned around and said, "My sleeping place is in the back room."
Wang Lingjun still didn't speak and walked silently to the back room. Qin Liang was nervous, excited, and looking forward to it, so he opened the curtain and walked in.
Seeing that Wang Lingjun had already sat on the couch, Qin Liang thought that it would be better not to be too impatient, but to be gentle and slow, so that the bride could gradually get into the mood.
As soon as he sat on the couch and approached Wang Lingjun, Wang Lingjun finally spoke. She raised her head, with a bit of pleading in her eyes: "I can't go against my father's wishes, but I'm not ready, and I'm very worried... Can you wait a little longer?
Day, I feel so confused... There are some things I want to tell you first, but my father..."
Qin Liang's heart suddenly thumped, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head.
