Zhang Fei's premonition was correct. From the moment he left the house, he felt a sense of shame rolling in his heart.
But I saw him wearing a bright red groom's suit and riding a tall horse. As the saying goes, it is extremely cold at high places. The cold wind made his nose run continuously.
Ma Xiaoyi, Cao Dongdong, and Fu Shichun were walking on horseback, while Na Taozi led a circle of idle men, each holding a big gong and drum.
Bang bang bang!
"Hey, today is the big day for Da'er Bi Zhang San. Come and take a look, everyone!"
Bang bang bang!
"Come and see! There are chestnuts to eat."
I saw some idle men throwing a small bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts at the onlookers, causing everyone to scramble.
This sugar-roasted chestnut is very popular in Kaifeng. It is difficult for ordinary families to afford it because sugar is very expensive. Only families like Xiang Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi can afford it and throw it away.
In a moment, dozens of little kids were following around, and the team became larger and larger.
Wherever he went, pedestrians stopped to watch, and windows and doors were opened upstairs and downstairs.
"Ah! Today is Sanlang's special day. Congratulations."
Whenever Cao Dongdong saw a young woman upstairs, he would personally pick up the sugar-roasted chestnuts and throw them up.
shame!
What a shame!
Facing everyone's congratulations, Zhang Fei could only force a smile, with the corners of his mouth twitching, and said to the accompanying matchmaker: "Aunt Sun, is this also a custom and etiquette?"
Aunt Sun said: "That's not true, most people can't afford to throw away chestnuts!"
Zhang Fei said excitedly: "Then you still allow them to do this."
Aunt Sun said: "What's wrong with this? It's lively and lively, it's good."
"that is!"
Ma Xiaoyi said hehely: "Third brother, on your big day, let's find more people to help you celebrate. Aren't you dissatisfied?"
"Go to hell. Oh, my uh, Yi Wu Fu, Bo Po Mo Buddha."
Zhang Fei was so angry that his mouth was almost twisted, and he quickly reminded himself secretly that he could not curse or curse.
Ma Xiaoyi asked curiously: "Third brother, what do you mean?"
"Buddhist scriptures."
"oh."
"Zhang San, don't you like being so ostentatious in the market?" Cao Dongdong suddenly leaned towards Zhang Fei and winked.
Zhang Fei said excitedly: "Do you think I enjoy it? It's almost done. Let's go to Xu's house to welcome the bride."
“It’s okay if you don’t like it!”
Cao Dongdong laughed and shouted again: "Taozi, please speak louder."
"Hey, everyone, come out and have a look! Today is the day when Da Erbi and Zhang San are getting married. Come and have a look. There are even chestnuts for you."
"You are deliberately trying to mess with me!" Zhang Fei said angrily.
Cao Dongdong chuckled, "You just saw it!"
"You! Why are you here at Lushi Alley?"
Zhang Fei suddenly noticed that they were in front of the gate of Lushi Lane.
Cao Dongdong said: "This is your territory, you must come here for a visit."
Zhang Fei couldn't help it anymore, "Fuck you, most of these are brothels. I'm getting married today. What do you mean by bringing me here?"
Cao Dongdong rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you say that you have never been treated before?"
Faced with this question, Zhang Fei nodded cautiously.
Cao Dongdong said: "Why don't you find a few people to teach you first."
Zhang Fei was suddenly startled and his eyes flickered a few times.
Aunt Sun said enthusiastically: "I can teach you how to recruit people for this matter."
Zhang Fei immediately trembled, "Auntie, forget it at your age." He quickly said: "You don't need to worry about it now."
Fu Shichun suddenly laughed and said: "Sanlang, don't listen to the nonsense in the office. I brought you here for a purpose. You see, wherever the candidates are, they are mostly surrounded by fireworks. Why? Because as long as there are people in high school, there will be fireworks around them.
It's Yingying Yanyan, so it can be called a great joy!"
Zhang Fei said: "Who are you fooling? He passed high school and I got married. How can this be the same?"
"Why is it different!"
Cao Dongdong snorted and ordered again, "Come on!"
"Wait a minute!"
Zhang Fei hurriedly stopped him, "Cars and horses are not allowed to travel together in Lushi Lane. This is an illegal act. Stop it quickly."
Ma Xiaoyi said: "Third brother, look."
He pointed to the roadside.
Zhang Fei glanced sideways and exclaimed: "Special traffic instructions?"
Ma Xiaoyi exclaimed: "That's right! We issued a notice yesterday that Lushi Lane can be opened to traffic and horses during this period."
"you.."
Zhang Fei wanted to say something else, but the team had already entered the Recording Alley.
This time it exploded.
As soon as the gongs and drums were beaten, the piao diners who had been working hard all night were surprised by the surprise in their dreams and immediately cursed.
Cao Dongdong and the others immediately started arguing with each other.
You bastard, if you keep yelling at me, I will call all your wives.
Many people immediately stopped.
Of course, there are also some peddlers with good family status who are crazy about confronting Cao Dongdong and others.
The girls showed up with unkempt hair, lying in front of the window, saying hello to Zhang Fei.
"Sanlang, congratulations."
"Oh, Sanlang looks really handsome today!"
"Sanlang, come up and sit down when you have time."
It was very lively for a while.
Cao Dongdong and the others liked this atmosphere, and deliberately stopped the team in the middle, allowing them to compete with the clients and girls as much as they wanted.
Zhang Fei, on the other hand, was played to death by them. At this time, he was like a living dead, his mind was completely blank, and he was led out of the Recording Lane by them.
After a lot of trouble, under the urging of the matchmaker and Fan Zheng, we finally arrived at Xu's house before the auspicious time.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was also a ritual of blocking the door.
However, compared to later generations who just stuff money, nowadays they are more particular about reciting poems and composing poems. Xu Zhiqian's sisters all came from official families, and they are all good at composing poems and lyrics.
Cao Dongdong and the others were not good at this, but there was an arrangement. They were immediately replaced by talented people like Cai Jing, Cai Bian, Shangguan Jun and others.
With just a few strikes, the opponent will be completely defeated.
Everyone rushed in.
But as soon as they walked in, everyone became extremely well-behaved.
Sitting inside were Xu Zun, Wang Anshi, Lu Gongzhu, Lu Huiqing, and even the nobleman Lan Yuanzhen. Zhao Xu could not attend in person, so he ordered Lan Yuanzhen to come on his behalf.
They are all big names in the imperial court.
Cao Dongdong, who had just made a noise, was right behind Tao Zi, muttering silently, you can't see me, you can't see me...
In fact, these people are here to praise Zhang Fei.
It's just that in name, it's on Xu Zun's head.
Welcoming the bride, today Xu Zhiqian is wearing a green dress, gold hairpins inserted diagonally, and green silk covering her face. Today's hijab is not the red hijab, which is completely covered, but with that kind of gauze, and only half of it is covered. On his face, you can vaguely see his slender face.
When you walk out of the house, your talent and beauty are really visible to the naked eye and make others envious.
Then he came to the middle hall and bowed to Xu Zun.
Xu Zun is a super moderate father-in-law, and he dotes on Zhang Fei as his son-in-law. Not only did he not tell Zhang Fei to treat Xu Zhiqian well, but he also told him not to pamper Xu Zhiqian too much, lest she go to heaven. .
On the contrary, Wang Anshi, Lu Gongzhu and others couldn't help but recite Zhang Fei's words when Zhang Fei was toasting, especially Lu Gongzhu. They were really serious and thoughtful. You were not married before, so you can just talk freely. From now on. You have to give us old men a little bit of sympathy and don't blame the sky and the earth.
After some salutes, Xu Zhiqian was finally welcomed into the carriage.
Due to the previous traffic regulations enacted by Zhang Fei, which stated that a dignity fee must be paid for riding in a sedan chair, some scholar-officials who cherish their reputation would not ride in a sedan chair unless necessary.
This dignity fee is really disgusting.
It is even more impossible for the Xu family to ride in a sedan chair.
The people bringing the wedding were all female relatives, mainly the elder sister-in-law Mu Zhen. Xu Zun and the others would not go there and would hold a banquet here again in seven days.
Only the courtesy officer Liu Zhao went with him.
When returning to Zhang's house, instead of stepping over a brazier, one takes off the saddle and places it in front of the door. This is a ceremony of crossing the saddle. This was especially popular in the Northern Song Dynasty. The newlyweds would cross the saddle and cross the scale, which symbolized peace.
The Zhang family is full of people from all walks of life, including wealthy businessmen Ma Tianhao, Chen Maoqian, Fan Yong, tea eater Fan Li, Erbi Qiu Zhengwen and others, as well as Bai Ban, Hong Zhong, Tao Yonghan and other policemen.
But they all stood on both sides politely.
This is all because the old man sitting in the hall is none other than Sima Guang.
Because Zhang Fei's parents were away, he had to find an old man who was highly respected and had a good relationship with Zhang Fei to replace him. It just so happened that Sima Guang had no son, only an adopted son, so he finally decided to ask Sima Guang to help him.
It has to be said that Sima Guang also favored Zhang Fei very much, couldn't help but enter the role of father, and even gave Zhang Fei a few words of advice from the bottom of his heart.
Zhang Fei didn't expect that Sima Guang would be so emotional. He couldn't help but miss his parents, and his eyes turned slightly red.
Under the auspices of Liu Zhao, after saluting the elders, everyone's favorite part began.
That is the toasting session.
However, the bride entered the bridal chamber first, and the female family members drank three drinks with the bride and then left the house.
The groom's life is at stake here.
To perform the ceremony of sitting high, one needs to place several quilts in the lobby, then place chairs on top of the quilts, and the groom sits on them.
Then everyone raised their glasses and invited the groom down.
First the matchmaker made a toast, then the sister-in-law, and after they finished their toasts, Sima Guang and Liu Zhao then vacated the battlefield.
I saw Ma Tianhao, Fan Yong, Chen Maoqian, Fan Li, Cao Dongdong, Ma Xiaoyi, Fu Shichun, Fan Zheng, and other policemen, Erbi, swarming up and directly surrounding Zhang Fei.
From the moment he went out in the morning, Zhang Fei realized that these guys were not here to congratulate him, but to take revenge, but today he could only let them slaughter him.
Because there is no way to rely on it. If you don’t finish the wine, you won’t be able to go to the new house.
And Cao Dongdong and the others have a very clear goal, which is to prevent you, Zhang Fei, from having a bridal chamber tonight, no, not even tomorrow night.
You don’t have any skills! It’s just irrigation!
Although Zhang Fei has no experience in getting married, he has experience in attending weddings. He has been holding back for so long and is very anxious. He must have a wedding today.
After drinking for three rounds, his face turned red. After having the evidence, he used his ultimate move and lay down directly on the ground.
No matter how humiliated Cao Dongdong and the others were, they would not open their eyes.
Cao Dongdong and the others were so angry that they gnashed their teeth.
In the end, Liu Zhao was afraid that Zhang Fei would catch cold lying on the ground for too long, so he had someone carry Zhang Fei back into the house.
With a creak, the door to the new house was closed.
Suddenly I heard a soft whisper in my ear, "Zhang San! Zhang San! How much did you drink and how did you get so drunk?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei sat up in surprise and took the beautiful lady into his arms.
This made the beautiful woman squeal, "Ah! So you're pretending to be drunk. What are you going to do?"
"Of course it's to clear inventory."
"Don't touch it yet, wait. Wait, Qingmei is still there."
"Green plum?"
Zhang Fei then sat up and took a closer look. He saw Qingmei blushing and standing shyly at the end of the bed. He couldn't help but said anxiously: "Qingmei, get out quickly. What happens next is not suitable for children."
"Brother Sansan, I, I..."
"You don't want to join in, do you? Wow, threesome in the bridal chamber, I. I have no experience! Maybe next time."
Zhang Fei's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he thought to himself, I heard that in ancient times, there were dowry maids. If the etiquette is like this, then I must abide by it!
"No, it's not."
Qingmei shook her head repeatedly, lowered her face, and whispered: "I was ordered by my sister-in-law to guide the third brother and sister Qian'er in the bridal chamber."
"guide?"
Everyone in Zhang Fei was dumbfounded.
Xu Zhiqian said shyly: "I don't dare to tell my sister-in-law that we are already close to each other. I'm afraid you won't understand, so..."
"Ahem, look at what you said, I really don't understand this." Zhang Fei glanced at Xu Zhiqian shyly, and then said to Qingmei: "Qingmei, please guide me, what should I do in the first step?
,No, no, is it undressing?"
It's quite exciting when you think about it.
Xu Zhiqian gave him a charming look, "You can hide it from others, can you hide it from me?"
With that said, she told Qingmei, "Qingmei, please go out first!"
"yes."
Qingmei hurriedly went out.
For a moment, the room became very quiet, and the red candle could be heard burning.
Zhang Fei was not as anxious as before. He was lying on the bed, holding the pillow in his right hand and staring at the beauty beside the bed.
I saw Xu Zhiqian's fingers clasped together, her head slightly bowed. Her snow-white skin was dyed with a layer of red clouds, so delicate and beautiful that it could be broken with a blow, her hair was as dense as woven fabrics, and her eyes and pulses were as charming as a charm.
Xu Zhiqian secretly glanced sideways and saw the stupid look in his eyes. She felt happy in her heart, but said angrily: "It's not like I haven't seen it before."
Zhang Fei was startled and said with a smile: "I thought you would look like this the first time we met."
When Xu Zhiqian heard this, she said anxiously: "You still have the nerve to mention it, but you are such a scumbag and you are so frivolous towards me the first time we meet."
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, hey, it was...!"
"Um?"
Xu Zhiqian's eyes widened.
Zhang Fei's expression changed and he nodded: "Yes, yes, it was me who was frivolous towards you, but today, I want to legalize my frivolity towards you. This is also our Erbi duty."
Saying that, he pulled Xu Zhiqian into his arms without waiting for her to refute.
"What's legal? You are such a scoundrel."
Xu Zhi spat and put a hand on his chest, "Wait a minute, there is one more thing that I haven't made clear."
"What's up?"
Zhang Fei said in astonishment.
I'm complaining endlessly in my heart, and the arrow is on the string, so why don't you just stop playing?
Xu Zhiqian said: "It's the issue of the overflow of the legal system. You said that only men can overflow into women. This is the way of heaven. You said you should tell me when you get married. You can tell me now."
"It's easy!"
With that said, Zhang Fei rolled Xu Zhiqian into the red quilt and gently untied her shirt.
"Look this is the overflow."
"Ah! It hurts me so much!"
Zhang Erbi is very happy today. Everyone understands this worldly thing...
