Chapter 63
The only troublesome thing is that building a greenhouse in Liaodong requires clearing the snow from time to time, otherwise it will easily collapse. Another point is that a lot of coal is used. Zou Yu estimated that there is no big one.
Profit, but worth the money, after all, coal is not used in many places now, especially in winter, when the kiln is shut down.
When Zou Yu started building greenhouses, no one understood that growing summer vegetables in winter was a joke. Besides, in the weather like this in Liaodong, the grass was frozen to death, so how could we still grow vegetables?
When they sprouted, the weather was still hot, so no one was surprised. But when it snowed twice and the cucumbers had withered their flowers, everyone was already surprised.
Looking at the half-sized cucumber, I thought that it would freeze to death in a few days. However, this never happened, and instead it grew even bigger. At this time, many people already knew about it, and people often came to watch from a distance.
, for their city lord, they are now astonished.
Originally, the people were just grateful to Zou Yu and gradually started to respect him. However, growing vegetables in winter this time was simply beyond the thoughts of many people, especially the nomadic people who worshiped the strong and everything supernatural, so Zou Yu often
The tremendous power displayed gradually began to deify his image.
December 21, the eleventh year of Daye, is the winter solstice! Good luck and easy marriage!
Originally, according to Zou Yu's wish, Fuyu City was not rich in supplies and everything should be kept simple. However, before the wedding day, many villages began to send many gifts. Although they were all worthless chickens, ducks and fish, they were still part of them.
People said that they sent it in advance because they didn’t want to be too busy on the wedding day, and they just put it down and left.
In order to thank the people for their kindness, Zou Yu had to hold a grand party, set up 200 tables of running water banquets, and announced in advance that anyone could eat for free. At the same time, he invited more than a hundred snack makers to make snacks for the people for free.
Fifty acres of greenhouses are used to pick the first batch of hand melons one day in advance and are given to the people for free. Each person can receive one, while supplies last. The same fifty acres of cucumbers are cut and provided to the people to eat raw. Although everything is still quite simple, but
With the current supplies in Fuyu City, they have done their best. Zou Yu can only secretly make up his mind to treat the people under his rule well in the future.
Chapter of "Book of Rites: Hunyi": "Those who are ignorant of the rites will combine the good of the two surnames, and serve the ancestral temple and the descendants for future generations. Therefore, gentlemen attach great importance to it. This is a great etiquette!"
People believe that weddings are used to serve the ancestors of the ancestral temple, and to inherit the descendants, that is, to continue the incense and reproduce future generations. Therefore, gentlemen attach great importance to it. It is a very important etiquette and is indispensable.
The wedding started in the afternoon. Zou Yu went from his new home to the county magistrate's house to pick up the bride. She wore green and red. If she didn't strongly object, she would have to apply pink and flowers for her.
Qin Qiong led the way, scattering candies and copper coins. The two brothers Fang Zheng followed behind as prime ministers. Sixteen people carried two identical big red sedan chairs, playing and beating along the way.
He deliberately went around several streets to let countless onlookers celebrate together. The streets were well-ordered, with happy people on both sides, and there were many children playing crazy and grabbing candies in front of them. All of this made Zou Yu feel a little nervous.
Like a dream, the scenes of the future and the present alternately appear in my mind. It seems to be still in the future, and it seems to have been here for a long time. Finally, the high-rise buildings gradually disappear, leaving only the noise in front of me.
The wedding still saves a lot of procedures, especially since both parties have no family members. They paraded on the street for more than an hour, and then arrived at the county magistrate's house in a lively manner. The county magistrate's house was newly decorated, one red and one purple.
The figure appeared, with a hijab on her head, and was guided by Xiniang into the sedan chair.
Although he didn't see their faces, Zou Yu still felt that the two women were a little nervous, which could be seen from their stiff steps. However, Zou Yu couldn't comfort them, let alone laugh. After all, he was also a little nervous, but more
It's joy.
This time, we will take another road and cross half of the city before returning to our new house. This means we will not go back. We will not return to our new house until dusk.
There were already crowds of people watching outside the Zou Mansion. Under the guidance of Xi Niang, Zou Yu stepped forward and lightly kicked the sedan door. This is called a show of authority, which means that men are the most respected in the family and they must obey their husbands in the future.
Then the two women were helped out of the sedan chair. At the door was a brazier. The bride had to step over it first, which meant getting rid of evil spirits. Then there were five pairs of sacks. The bride and groom walked through them together. This is called passing down from generation to generation.
Five generations meet.
After a series of tedious procedures, the worship service finally began. What surprised Zou Yu was that
They first worshiped the pigs and zhi, the stove, then the gods and earth, the ancestors, and then the husband and wife bowed to each other. After the worship, they also bowed to the guests. Before bowing to the guests, Zou Yu took off his hijab and recited two Li Ke poems.
In the poem written by the teacher's assistant, the two women shyly put down the lady's fans that were covering their faces as a courtesy. Zou Yu also asked about this etiquette before he understood that it was like showing off the bride to the guests. The more beautiful the groom's face is, the more beautiful the bride will be.
It's a good time to have light, and at the same time, it's a way to let relatives and friends recognize the person, so as not to not recognize the person in the future.
Nowadays, the custom is not as conservative as in the Song and Qing Dynasties. After worshiping heaven and earth, it does not end. They have to sit down together and wash their hands together. Then the waiter will each put a piece of meat into the couple's bowls, and then eat after each other's luggage. This is called the ceremony of sharing.
It means the beginning of living together in the future. When the newlyweds have reached this stage, the guests can start the meal, and the newlyweds are sent to the new house for the next step of etiquette.
Zou Yu now regretted marrying two people at the same time. He ran back and forth between the left and right pavilions, and a series of etiquette, wine, and hair tying made him dizzy. In the end, he could only follow Xi Niang, numbly following the instructions. After finishing
, then came out to entertain the guests.
"Congratulations, City Lord!" As soon as Zou Yu came out, everyone stood up and congratulated in unison.
Only then did Zou Yu realize that except for Han Qianxun, who was attacking Yuecheng, there was also Liu Jin who was missing. Everyone else was actually here. Of course, Zou Yu was not worried. Since they were all here, arrangements must have been made.
"Thank you all! Thank you!" Zou Yu returned the favor with clasped fists in gratitude.
"Seeing the city lord, my subordinates, on behalf of the 180,000 people of Fuyu City, congratulate the city lord on his wedding!" Zhang Zhongjian straightened his face, stepped forward, and said loudly.
"Uncle Zhang, you..."
Zou Yu was stunned for a while, but before he finished speaking, Han Zhao stepped forward and said loudly: "See the city lord, on behalf of the 10,000 warriors from Yuecheng, I will congratulate the city lord on his wedding!"
"Seeing the city lord, my subordinates, representing the 20,000 soldiers of Fuyu City, congratulate the city lord on his wedding!" Qin Qiong and Su Dingfang followed closely and followed closely.
"See the city lord. On behalf of the people in the mining area, my subordinates would like to congratulate the city lord on his wedding!"
"Seeing the city lord, my subordinates, on behalf of the 50,000 Khitan people in Fuyu City, congratulate the city lord on his wedding!" Mo Hui also stepped forward, stroking his chest and saluting.
