May 18th was the best time for Su Jin to get married. At around 9 o'clock in the morning, the sky was still dark and it was too dark to see anyone. The Su family's welcoming team went to the Yan Mansion to welcome the bride.
Su Jin was wearing a green brocade robe, a hairpin with flowers on her head, black boots on her feet, and riding a flowered horse. This outfit was all the wedding dress that the Yan government gave to the groom three days ago.
Su Jin naturally enjoyed the success, but he didn't know that the family was very busy in the days before the wedding, with frequent communication. The Su family gave Yan Biyun a makeup-inducing flower bun, a gold hijab, a sandalwood flower fan and other items; the girl's family also
Giving the groom attire in return shows that both parties are ready.
Yesterday was the day before the wedding. The Yan family also sent people to the Su residence to lay out curtains, bedding and other utensils for the new house, and also prepared gifts to warm the house.
A trusted woman and a married woman were also sent to guard the house, and no outsiders were allowed to enter, in order to wait for the new couple. The person who bought the house was also particular about it, and it must be a "good fortune woman" with good fortune and longevity, and a wealthy family, in order to obtain good luck.
Meaning. As soon as Su Jin knew this, his family communicated and operated with the Yan family.[
…
The wedding team arrived at the door of Yan's Mansion. After playing and playing for a long time, the door of Yan's Mansion opened. Yan Shu, who was at home on leave, came to the door wearing a brand new blue gown with a puffy belly.
Su Jin quickly stepped forward to kowtow and salute, Yan Biyun's father, Yan Shu is his father-in-law. Zan Po kept shouting next to her: "Lower it, and the time will be longer."
Su Jin almost fell to the ground, and then she heard Yan Shu smile and say: "Okay, okay. Get up."
What followed was a series of making things difficult and teasing, in order to let Su Jin know that it is not easy to get a wife and treat her well in the future.
In the boudoir of the Yan family's inner hall, Yan Biyun was already dressed neatly and standing in the east wing. Xiao Xian'er and another married maid were waiting beside her, and her aunt was accompanying her and constantly admonishing her about etiquette.
Yan Biyun nodded frequently as he explained the steps and rules.
Yan Biyun's face was calm, and she tried to hide the joy in her heart. She deliberately covered her abdomen with her hands. Her abdomen was already slightly swollen. If she didn't tighten it deliberately, it would appear to be exposed.
There was the sound of footsteps outside, and a little girl with a hairpin and two hairpins ran in. Xiao Xian'er hurriedly asked: "Xiao Huan'er, what's going on outside?"
The little maid said with a smile: "Several young masters and young ladies are tossing the new uncle. You need money to enter, money to sit down, and tea money to drink tea. Hehe, the new brother-in-law is very good-tempered.
I lay on the ground for a long time while kowtowing to Master Yan."
Yan Biyun chuckled, and Xiao Xian'er smiled and said: "Yes, we should toss him and teach him how it is not that easy to marry my lady. Xiao Huan'er, let's go again. I will toss him for my lady."
Yan Biyun said angrily: "Are you going to join in the fun? Be careful that he will cause trouble for you in the future."
Xiao Xian'er's face turned red when she heard the ambiguity in the words. She was torturing him, but he was not sure how he would torment him in the future.
Yan Biyun thought for a while and said: "Isn't he the number one scholar? Asking him to write three poems to encourage makeup is not a embarrassment to him."
Xiao Xian'er said happily: "That's how it should be. If someone writes one, he should at least write three." After saying that, she pulled the little Huan'er and went straight to the front hall.
After a while, the first poem urging makeup was passed into the inner hall, and Yan Biyun read out: It is said that the candles are mixed with red powder, and spring is not seen in front of the mirror. There is no need to put makeup on the face, and the eyebrows are left to be painted.
Yan Biyun smiled slightly. Su Jin, a bad boy, told him not to bother with the eyebrow painting, so he would go to Su's house and help him paint it himself. Although he was joking, he was also affectionate.
After a while, the second makeup poem came in, but it was a small word: Joy filled the door, the light moved the fragrant streets, walking under the crape myrtle flowers, I realized that I was an extraordinary guest. There is no need for vermilion to damage innocence,
If you are afraid that it will be too red and white, leave the shallow part of the dark eyebrows to paint the spring color of Zhangtai.
Yan Biyun smiled and continued to wait for the third party. After a while, the third party came again: urging to lay out the Baizi tent, waiting for the seven-scented carriage, displaying the slender hands of Jinqiu, handing over a glass of wine that has been warmed, asking if the makeup is finished, and the morning glow is coming to the east.
Yan Biyun couldn't help but feel happy, and he immediately composed three poems in response to the scene. Lang Jun's title of Number One Scholar was not given randomly.[
The Yan family was also restrained in making things difficult. They had to go out and board the sedan before dawn, otherwise it would be unlucky. After a lot of fuss, Yan Biyun was helped out of the door and came to the eaves of the main hall.
Yan Shu stood on the east steps, stroking his beard and smiling. Yan Biyun's tears suddenly welled up. He stepped forward and knelt down and said, "My niece, Biyun, would like to pay my respects to my uncle. I would like to thank you for your kindness in raising me over the years."
Yan Shu smiled and said: "Girl, there is no need to be polite. Although you are married, you are still the daughter of my Yan family, and we still have to rely on you to manage the affairs of the family. My uncle only warned you a few words. From today on, you will be the daughter of the Su family."
As a married woman, remember to always be careful, respectful, and cautious from now on. Be respectful to your mother-in-law, be submissive to your husband, and treat everyone in your husband's family like family. With your virtuousness, you will naturally be loved and respected by everyone.
like."
Yan Biyun agreed with tears, and told Yan Shu to take care of his health and that he would come back often. Xiao Xian'er persuaded him softly: "Miss, don't cry. If your makeup is broken, it will delay the time."
Yan Biyun then gently wiped away her tears and turned to look at the empty steps in the west. According to etiquette, that's where her mother should be standing waiting for her to say goodbye. However, her mother didn't even show her face. She must still be there.
Hiding in the Buddhist hall, chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha; it’s like I don’t have my daughter.
Yan Shu comforted him and said, "If your mother doesn't want to come out, that's fine. After all, she is your mother, so let her go. It's getting late, so don't break the rules and go."
Yan Biyun's tears fell again, and she gave Yan Shu a deep blessing. Yan Shu was also a little sad, so he forced himself to calm down and turned around to enter the hall.
The best man shouted loudly: "The newlyweds are getting on the sedan!"
As if she had received an order, the sound of drums and firecrackers suddenly sounded outside at the same time. Xiao Xian'er gently put the gold hijab on Yan Biyun's head, and slowly walked towards the door of the house with her arm in her hand.
Su Jin led the way, and the two of them left the house one after another. There was already a sea of people outside. The marriage of the number one scholar was a big news in itself, not to mention that it was a daughter of the Yan family who was a widower, which aroused everyone even more.
Although most of them are blessing, some people think that Su Jin is not worth it. The dignified scholar is choosing a widow as a woman. This is simply a big joke. This woman is old and a widow. This scholar’s
The taste is really unique.
But those who know the inside story will naturally understand that Su Jin and Yan Biyun have gone through many hardships to become what they are today. The two have shared life and death many times, and Yan Biyun has supported Su Jin at all critical moments. Su Jin's marriage to Yan Biyun is definitely not out of reason.
Other considerations are things that come naturally when the love goes deep.
After blowing and beating all the way, there were more than 300 people in the Yan family's send-off team. The front of the team had already reached Bianhe Street, but the people behind were still in Tianshuijing Hutong.
The richness of the dowry is staggering. What is carried in front is ten loads of brocade of various colors, six pieces per stone, a total of sixty pieces; eighteen sets of new clothes, leather jackets, shoes, socks and hats of various colors; and fifty sets of brocade quilts and velvet pillows.

…
All in all, the scale of this kind of dowry is unprecedented. The dowry includes almost all the basic necessities of life, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, and everything that will be used in daily life in the future. The procession stretches for more than ten miles, which can be said to be "Ten Miles of Red Makeup".
The people who were watching were dumbfounded. They all said that Yan Sansi's family was rich. It was certain that the dowry for the daughter of the Yan family would be rich, but they did not expect it to be so rich. After a rough calculation, it was worth at least one million yuan; the number one scholar
Not only did Lang marry a beautiful wife, he also took a golden doll home this time.
