Chapter 72: Getting married

The next day, it was clear. Early in the morning, Macheng was like a wooden man, dressed up by a group of maids and sisters. It was time to go out to meet the bride.

On the cross street, Ma Cheng rode on a tall horse with red color, and Ma Guozhong, Ding Wenchao, and the little three and five were all majestic with their belly. The wedding of the prince of the General's Mansion was a major event in Kaiyuan. The people of Kaiyuan had long watched along the streets.

Ma Cheng, a shameless person, was also uncomfortable.

Riding on a tall horse, Ma Cheng suddenly thought of his parents, subordinates, and friends in his previous life.

The sound of firecrackers in front of him started, and Ma Cheng woke up to calm down and cheered up. Haha, he smiled and took his subordinates to welcome the bride. Behind him was a colorful sedan chair carried by six people, and there was a opera troupe singing the opera.

It was a festive season. As soon as the wedding party arrived, the banquet at Yu Mansion opened. The Yu clans and the guests who congratulated each other together with the wedding party, were set up with sixty seats, with wine and coriander fragrant and lively and festive.

Yu's ancestral home is Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province. He lived in Kaiyuan for a long time, so he also had branches and leaves in Kaiyuan.

In addition to serving in the army, the Yu clan members were also very wealthy in business, and their families were all very elegant. They were all elegant in food, clothing, housing and transportation. Speaking of which, there was a Juren in Kaiyuan's generation, Yu Fengjun.

The brother of a mother, Yu Zeming, whose courtesy name is Yunhao, came from Jinan a few days ago. After the wedding, he was going to Beijing to prepare for the next year's exam. It can be seen that Malin is still very satisfied with this marriage.

Yes, there was a three-point smile on his face when he saw someone.

The high status of scholars in the Ming Dynasty shows that a scholar who came from his family could be considered a scholar-in-law.

If Yu Zeming could be a Jinshi in high school, if the ranking was not too bad, and if he wanted to be a prestigious censor, Kaiyuan Yu would be considered a true turnaround.

There is a difference between civil and military affairs, and Ma Cheng is still a little curious about this juren brother-in-law.

At the beginning of Shen Shi, the Ma Mansion sent a group of literati to urge makeup every half an hour. When the third group of urge makeup arrived, the day was already thin, and the bride should set off. Yu Zeming, as Yu Feng

The one you dearest person is going to escort your sister to Ma Mansion, and Yu Zeming has to carry her to the colorful sedan chair.

With a beaded bun, a necklace hanging on his forehead, his wedding dress was bright, and his face was radiant, and he put on a red veil after bidding farewell to his relatives in the hall.

Yu Fengjun's tears immediately fell from tears when he was held up by his brother Yu Zeming with one hand and his back with the other.

Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Chen, quickly stepped forward and helped her daughter wipe her tears with a silk trouser, and comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry, little sister, it will be dirty."

Yu Fengjun couldn't stop crying, Yu Zeming hugged his younger sister and walked out of the hall. Two old men were on the left and right, and one was holding Yu Fengjun's high bun and veil, afraid of his hair.

It tilted, the veil slipped down, and another person took Yu Fengjun's skirt to cover his feet. Four dowry maids followed behind, and two twelve-year-old servants who were married with their clothes were already in the middle.

Waiting in the yard.

Yu's mansion followed the etiquette of the big family and was extremely generous in his actions, for fear that his daughter would be looked down upon by the Ma's mansion. This affection also touched Ma Cheng a little, and the softest part in his heart was gently touched.

Amid the drums and music, Yu Fengjun got up into the colorful sedan chair, and got up in the slanting sunset. Yu Zeming followed the sedan chair, with a troupe ahead, and then twenty boxes of colored cages and dowry, which led to Kaiyuan's father.

I was amazed and shouted a few good things about the big move of Yu's daughter.

Near the Ma Mansion, twelve Xitongs with red clothes and green pants with red ropes were already waiting in the east of the bridge. The twelve Xitongs all looked six to eight years old, with beautiful eyebrows and beautiful faces.

It was as red as the Fuwa in the New Year painting, standing aside to let the theater and carry the makeup load.

When I saw the colorful sedan chair, I came up happily and shouted: "The wedding is a happy one, there are many children and many blessings."

Yu Zeming was in a good mood, so he ordered the maid to marry him to hang a string of ninety-nine copper coins prepared in advance with red ropes, each of which was hung on their necks."

When we arrived at the General's Mansion, it was already dark, and the firecrackers for the wedding were "crackling" sounded, and the fireworks were brilliant, and a smell of gunpowder spread out. At this time, the smell of gunpowder smelled a festive smell.

Ten large pergolas had already been built in the second large courtyard of the Bing Mansion, and each pergola could be placed with eight mats. The guests who congratulated him had already filled the sixty mats, and were all waiting for the bride to come and congratulate him.

Among the guests, there were also local squire and celebrities. It can be said that Kaiyuan's leading figures arrived.

The groom Macheng was circling among the guests. Under the guidance of the courtesan, he drank a wine with Yu Fengjun, and then entered the hall hand in hand. There was a three-star statue of "Fu Lu Shou" in the middle of the hall. With the drums and music, the couple

The two worship the heaven and earth outside, the blessing, fortune, and longevity inside, and then the husband and wife worship each other.

At this time, Ma Lin and his second wife, Lu, walked out and sat under the statue of Fu Lu Shou. Ma Cheng held Yu Fengjun to pay homage to Gaotang. Lu was so happy that he couldn't stop holding Yu Fengjun's hand and couldn't stop holding him.

Touching, smiling and saying something, Yu Fengjun, wearing a red veil, nodded from time to time and said "yes". Mrs. Lu wore a pair of gold-inlaid jade-clad bracelets on the bride's wrist.

At the beginning of the wedding banquet, Ma Cheng and Yu Fengjun toasted the guests, and ten large tents and eighty tables were toasted. Although the diluted rice wine was not intoxicating, after spending half an hour, Ma Cheng was nothing.

Yu Fengjun felt her feet hurt. Her high-soled bow shoes were uncomfortable to wear. Fortunately, she didn't bind her feet, otherwise she would definitely not be able to hold on. Of course, there were very few wedding banquets like this that would be given 80 wines.

"The bride and groom are entering the bridal chamber."

The children shouted happily and pushed hard. Ma Cheng was stumbled while holding Yu Fengjun, and hurriedly said, "Don't push too fast, go slowly."

After a while, twelve happy children were dragged by four dowry girls and sent them out. Two old men sent the wedding to ask the bride and groom to sit by the bed and feed them seven small glutinous rice balls to each of them. This is called "feeding children and grandchildren"

Tangtuan, also known as "Seven Sons to Keep Reunion", a married man handed a pair of sugarcane with the same length and length, tied with red rope to Macheng. Macheng lifted Yu Fengjun's red veil and flower crown and threw it to the bed

After the two married men quickly put down the tent door, exited the bridal chamber, and locked the door from the outside.

Ma Cheng had just used sugarcane to pick Yu Fengjun's red veil and flower crown. Before he could see the beauty's face, the light dimmed, and the red gauze tent hangs down from both sides of the bed eaves. The two old men walked out quickly and heard the metal.

The collision sounded, and the door was locked. Ma Cheng was stunned. He didn't know what the rules meant when the door locked.

Just as he looked at Yu Fengjun, Yu Fengjun lifted up the necklace on his forehead with one hand, and looked at him with a clear look of shame and joy.

Ma Cheng smiled and said, "It turned out that he was afraid that the bride would run away, so the door would be locked.

Yu Fengjun said embarrassedly: "Why do you run away?"
