Yuntian went out early, wearing a red groom's official uniform and riding a tall horse.
There were two people from Yunnan and Yunbei who were traveling with them. Fortunately, there was an ox cart at home. The big ox was also tied with a big red flower around its neck by the Yun family. It looked very festive at first sight. Waiting for Yunjia Village
After the team that went to welcome the bride had gathered, the young people from Yunjia Village lifted up the sedan chair and headed towards Jixiang Town, playing and playing.
Fortunately, Yunjia Village is not very far from Jixiang Town, so we alternated carrying sedans all the way to Jixiang Town.
When we arrived at the door of Master Lu's house, many neighbors and former students of Master Lu's had already come to help Lu's family. There were scholars in front of the door who started to block the door, forcing Yuntian to compose a love poem before letting anyone in.
This little thing couldn't trouble Yuntian, who was a scholar after all, and he immediately opened his mouth:
The moon has long curved eyelashes, the white clouds are bright and the smile is toothy.
The spring water is clear and the face is beautiful, and the waves are beating and beating the heart.
One student immediately praised: "Brother Yun is so talented and talented, please!"
Yun Tian held up his hands and entered the house with a happy face. Yunnan and Yunbei followed closely behind, and the women and students blocking the door behind also entered the courtyard.
The maid Wantong, who was secretly observing in the front yard, immediately ran to the backyard after hearing the poem written by her uncle.
In the backyard of the Lu family, Mrs. Lu looked at her daughter, who was dressed in a red wedding dress, and her face was even more beautiful. She felt very reluctant to let go. Her daughter was about to become another woman's wife. Mrs. Lu's eyes turned red unconsciously, but she also knew
Today is my daughter's big day. I couldn't shed tears, so I quickly wiped them with a handkerchief.
Lu Xin'er shouted with a choked voice: "Mother..."
"Okay, okay, mother knows that after you marry into the Yun family, you must be filial to your parents-in-law." Madam Lu patted Lu Xiner's hand and warned her carefully.
"Well, mother, my daughter is unfilial and cannot be filial to you and her father. After your daughter gets married, you must take good care of yourselves."
"Silly boy, you are getting married and starting a family. How can you be unfilial? Just live your life well. You don't have to worry about your mother and father. We are in good health!"
"Uh-huh……"
"Madam, Miss, my uncle is here to pick up the bride! He's already at the door, and he's probably on his way to the backyard now."
"Oh, the time has come. Hurry up, Wantong, cover your young lady's head."
"Hey, ma'am."
Wan Tong responded and quickly took the red hijab embroidered with lotus flowers and covered Lu Xin'er's head with Mrs. Lu.
After everything was done, Yuntian's wedding team also arrived at the Lu family's backyard. This time, it was Lu Xiner's eldest and second sisters who blocked the door.
Yuntian came to Lu's house to welcome his bride, and the matchmaker who came to the house yesterday was also there. This was agreed yesterday. In ancient times, a matchmaker was required to get married and propose a marriage.
The matchmaker came forward and knocked on the door. Sister Lu Xiner's question came from inside the room: "What's the matter?"
The matchmaker replied: "Come and marry the bride!" At this time, a gap leaked out of the closed door, and Yunnan handed over the red envelope with a wink.
The red envelope was collected by the person inside and closed again. The matchmaker called the door again according to the rules. After doing this three times, the woman opened the door to welcome the guests.
This is called "marrying the bride at the door". It is a custom in the Zhou Dynasty to deliberately extend the time to go out. It is believed that the longer the bride delays going out, the better it will be for the bride's family and she can retain more wealth. Some people say that this is the only way to
It seems that the man's family is sincere.
Onlookers flocked in, and Yuntian finally married the girl of his dreams.
Yun Tian put the red silk into Lu Xiner's hand, led Lu Xiner carefully to the main hall of the Lu family, knelt down to say goodbye to Master Lu and Mrs. Lu, and prepared to get on the sedan chair and return to Yunjia Village.
Since there were no men in the Lu family and Lu Xiner had no brothers, no one could carry Lu Xiner into the sedan chair. Yuntian knew this and directly picked up Lu Xiner.
Amidst everyone's exclamations, he hugged Lu Xiner and strode towards the sedan chair outside the gate.
No matter in ancient times or modern times, the bride's feet were not allowed to touch the ground. Lu Xiner was about to ask her father to carry her out, but unexpectedly her body suddenly became suspended in the air. Just when she was panicking, a gentle and low voice came.
In her ears: "Don't be afraid."
This sound immediately made Lu Xiner's heart ache. At the same time, Lu Xiner's face immediately turned red. She didn't expect her husband to be like this!
Master Lu and Mrs. Lu, who were watching this scene from behind, were particularly pleased. They once again lamented that this son-in-law was chosen well!
Yun Tian carried Lu Xiner onto the sedan chair smoothly all the way, his movements as gentle as holding a treasure, which made Lu Xiner feel Yun Tian's thoughtfulness towards her.
After Lu Xiner sat down, a small paper bag suddenly appeared in her hand. Because of the hijab, Lu Xiner only heard Yun Tian's voice above her head: "This is the dried meat I got from home. I thought you must not have eaten anything.
You should pad your stomach in the sedan and don't starve yourself. If you are thirsty, there is also a small bamboo tube of water, so you can rest assured that it will be boiled."
Lu Xiner's heart was warmed once again by her husband-in-law's thoughtfulness. She didn't expect that he would even think of these things. How could such a man not make people fall in love with him?
While Yuntian was talking, he also used practical actions to tell Lu Xiner that he would protect her for the rest of her life.
After Yuntian gave the things to Lu Xiner, he returned to the front of the horse, bowed and said goodbye to Master Lu and Mrs. Lu who came out to see them off, and said, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely cherish Xiner."
After saying that, he bowed, got on his horse, and said, "Drive."
The wedding procession began to make its way to Yunjia Village with great fanfare. Behind the procession was Lu Xiner's dowry, a total of twenty-four loads. For a family like the Lu family, there was already a lot of dowry prepared for their daughter.
Of course, Lu Xiner's dowry maid, Wantong, was also among them. Originally, Lu Xiner did not plan to take Wantong with her, but this girl had grown up with her since she was a child. After she got married, Wantong had no job. He could only go with her.
.
The wedding team arrived at Yun's house smoothly. There were already many women looking in front of Yun's house.
After Yuntian came back, he got off his horse and kicked the sedan door after being prompted by the elders who often presided over weddings in the village. Of course, Yuntian didn't really kick it. The wife he brought home was here to feel pain, not to show off.
.
It was just a thought, and he raised the sedan curtain. When he saw that the food he gave his wife was almost done, he immediately grinned and carefully helped Lu Xiner get out of the sedan.
There were children running around, shouting: "Look at the bride, here comes the bride~"
Some aunts and aunts also looked at it with strange expressions. After all, Yunjia Village had never seen such a formal marriage. Basically, it was decided to take the person home the next day.
Then give a red egg to every household in the village to prove that you have a wife.
This was the first time that the Yun family had done something as grand and grand as this. The aunts and ladies watched with gusto, while the younger daughters-in-law looked at it with envy and jealousy.
When Lu Xiner's dowry was brought into the Yun family's new house, it aroused another wave of envy and jealousy.
After the process of worshiping heaven and earth was over, Yuntian was so tired that he was exhausted. His wife was not even more tired. When the etiquette said: "Send her to the bridal chamber!", Yuntian immediately sent his wife to the bridal chamber.
their new house.
Before anyone could follow him, Yuntian pulled the matchmaker and Wantong into the wedding room. He quickly asked the matchmaker to bring a scale, picked up the red hijab on Lu Xiner's head, drank Hexin wine, and Yuntian gave the matchmaker a red envelope and kicked them out.
