Facts have proved that the Chinese people’s hobby of watching the excitement, which is popular and suitable for all ages, has long been deeply engraved in their bones!
At the very least, Xiao Han knew that it had not changed much after more than 1,300 years!
Carefully bypassing the broken door, he walked quickly past the door of the house of a servant or a doctor. Soon, Xiao Han and his party arrived in front of Tang Jian's house.
"Master Hou! We're here! I'll knock on the door!"
Maybe he didn't catch up when he was beating someone up, but when he saw Tang Mansion, a mansion where his own prince often visited, the fool, who had nowhere to vent his energy, immediately got off his horse and became the first one.
Run up and knock on the door!
"etc……"
Behind him, Xiao Han, who had just gotten off his horse, was shocked when he saw the idiot's actions and was about to speak out to stop him!
However, the closed door suddenly opened, and immediately after, a group of burly servants rushed out of the door, holding laundry sticks wrapped in silk in their hands, glaring at the idiot.
"Gah... you guys..."
Seeing this scene, the idiot who came to knock on the door was stunned. He stood there and looked directly at these shrews who obviously had evil intentions!
"It's not good, the wind is tight and the wind is blowing..."
He was stunned, but he was definitely not stupid! Seeing this kind of formation, how could he not know that something was going to be bad? It was a pity that before he could scream and turn around to run away, the dozen or so sticks that were as thick as an adult's arm had already hit his face.
Beat it down!
"Ah...help!"
"Bang bang bang..."
So, under the blows of these dozen or so powerful mallets, the poor fool only had time to scream before he was beaten so hard that he ran away with his head in his arms!
Behind him, Zhang Qiang looked at his own body with lingering fear, and then at the water-tank-like waists of those women. He swallowed decisively and turned his head to the side. I don't know him. Don't come to me. I
It’s a passerby…Ami Tofu!
Today, the entrance of Tang Mansion is extremely lively!
The sound of the suona of the welcoming team, the scolding of the women, the screams of the fool, and the many voices of Xiaodong and others quarreling all mixed together, it was like a great drama performed at a temple fair!
Such a lively scene not only made the surrounding servants want to jump on the wall to watch the excitement, but also the officials who maintained their status opened their doors and peeked in.
Xiao Han, who has had the experience of welcoming a bride, knows very well that the beating behavior of these servants was also an important process of welcoming a bride in the Tang Dynasty.
At first it seemed that the bride's sisters came together to beat the groom severely, so that the groom would know that the bride's family was sometimes troublesome, and that after getting married, they had better treat their bride better!
Later, maybe I felt that I always beat the groom too hard, which would easily prevent him from entering the bridal chamber at night and harm his own sisters, so he changed to beating the unlucky best groom. The weapon was also changed from the bamboo strips at the beginning to a wrapped one.
Holding Ayako's mallet.
However, there is no universal standard for how thickly the damask should be wrapped.
Some women's families are kinder and wrap the stick as round and fat as a silkworm cocoon. Even if it is knocked on the body, it is as gentle as a massage.
Some have a darker belly and cannot be wrapped in two layers at all. Whenever they are knocked on the body, they will feel burning pain!
However, as it is now, with only a layer of wrapping around the stick, it is really rare for a servant girl to take off the obstructive Ayako and beat her directly!
"Okay, okay! If we continue to make trouble, we will be late!"
Finally, in front of the chaotic door of the Tang Mansion, someone shouted loudly, and the women who looked more like men than women finally stopped angrily and dragged their sticks back to the Tang Mansion.
And when the women left, at the door of the messy Tang Mansion, the idiot was lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, motionless, only his chest was still rising and falling vigorously.
"Tsk, tsk, you dare to knock on the door without wearing soft armor? Didn't you know that Mr. An has become famous for beating the best man in recent years?"
When he saw that those shrewd women had retreated, Zhang Qiang, who was still frightened, carefully walked around and squatted down next to the idiot. He reached out and touched his neck. He felt the strong pulse beating and immediately gloated and said with a smile: "
Why, your Marquis got a beating when he got married for the first time, and he forgot about it so quickly?"
"Ahem, but I'm not the best man, you are!" The idiot had tears in his eyes, especially after seeing the soft armor under Zhang Qiang's clothes, the tears became even more intense!
He knew that he would be beaten when he was the best man! But he didn't know that just knocking on the door would bring out the shrews inside! Moreover, these shrews wouldn't even let him say a word of explanation, and would just go up and beat him.
ah!
"Yes, it's true that I'm the best friend!" After listening to the idiot's cry, Zhang Qiang nodded, and then looked at him with a very sympathetic look: "But why are you knocking on the door?"
"me!"
The dumbfounded man looked at Zhang Qiang's innocent face, and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. He actually had the urge to look up to the sky and vomit three liters of blood!
But it's a pity that although those women's sticks were hard enough, they could only cause some flesh wounds and could not hurt the inside at all. Naturally, there was no talk of vomiting blood. Therefore, the idiot could only spit out two mouthfuls of spit with difficulty, which represented
My own contempt for Zhang Qiang’s shameless behavior.
Once the best man has been beaten, or the unlucky guy who was treated as the best man has been beaten, it means that the most difficult stage of welcoming the bride has been passed.
Now that he has passed the test, it doesn't matter to Xiao Han who received the beating.
Who cares who gets beaten? As long as it’s not you who gets beaten!
Today, his mission is to welcome Zi Yi home, get married in a grand manner, and then send him to the bridal chamber... As for what happens next, it is not enough to explain to outsiders.
At this time, as the woman entered the Tang Mansion, the door in front of her was already open.
Xiao Hanshi, who was dressed in a bright red groom's official uniform, climbed up the steps, turned around and saluted some vaguely familiar onlookers, clasping fists and saluting. When those neighbors saw them, they all smiled and returned the salute, and among themselves,
Without a word, the noble character of the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water is fully revealed.
Of course, this is only the case in Guanglufang.
Because most of the people living here are civil servants and censors, such as the stone in the pit, Wei Zheng, lived here!
Usually these people and Xiao Han either dislike each other, or they have no intersection at all! That's why they are so bland.
What if Old Tang had moved to a different place today, such as moving to the place where those generals who killed a thousand swords were! Even Xiao Han himself probably couldn't imagine whether he would still be able to face the bride and escape unscathed by then!
