"Why haven't you arrived yet? Didn't you say you would arrive before the sun sets? Did that old man just try to trick us?"
On the dirt road, a lonely donkey cart moved forward slowly. Xiao Han stumbled around in the carriage and sighed! I don’t remember, why don’t you bring some snacks with you when you go out, even some melon seeds, no! A little melon seed peel would be nice.
ah!
"Come on, come on..." Xiaodong led the donkey and walked forward with heavy steps. But why did the words coming out of his mouth sound so familiar? Wasn't this what the blind cow said?
We are tired, but only a few people are still in good condition. At least they can look at Xiao Han with contempt.
I don't know how far I walked forward, but suddenly, a sound of suona came from far away.
"What's the noise?" Xiao Han thought he was somewhere, so he suddenly poked his head out of the car window and asked while looking around.
Xiaodong in front heard it earlier than Xiao Han. He stood on tiptoe and took a look from a distance, then replied feebly: "It seems that someone is sending a bride off."
"Seeing off a bride? Is there anyone getting married?" After hearing this, Xiao Han looked to the west uncertainly.
That's right, it wasn't that he had a hallucination, it was that the sun was really going to set.
"Why are you still on the road at this hour? Is the bride far away from the groom's house?" Xiao Han asked doubtfully.
Xiaodong scratched his head. He didn't know why the Marquis asked such a question. He hesitated and said: "Master Marquis, the new daughter-in-law only arrives at the groom's house at this time! Didn't you just say that you are getting married? The wedding is not at dusk, but at dusk.
when?"
"Evening ceremony? Wedding? Why is there such an explanation?" Xiao Han rolled his eyes. In his previous life, almost everyone got married in the morning, so he naturally thought that the rules were the same in ancient and modern times. Who knew that the word "wedding" was
This is how it came about.
Xiao Han really didn't know this: in ancient times, the so-called dusk ceremony was really held in the evening. Because the ancients believed that the evening was the time when yin and yang met, and when you get married at this time, your future life would be more harmonious, so it evolved
They come out to welcome the bride in the morning, take the bride home in the afternoon, and then complete the ceremony.
In the older Hong Kong ghost films of later generations, you can often see a large sedan chair walking on the road at night. Although it is a bit scary, it is indeed in line with ancient etiquette.
The procession of seeing off the bride moved very quickly, and while they were talking, a group of people playing and playing music were already approaching.
Speaking of which, Xiao Han had only seen the wedding procession in Chang'an, and was disturbed by him. As for the bride-to-be, he had never seen it before, so he looked forward with interest.
It can be seen from the procession of sending off the bride that the family getting married should be relatively wealthy.
In front were eight musicians dressed in festive costumes who were playing hard. Behind them were a dozen strong men dressed as nursing staff and Xiaosi who was waiting on them.
It's just that the middle is not the big sedan chair that Xiao Han is familiar with, but a carriage clad in red and green, which makes Xiao Han a little uncomfortable.
However, it’s not that people can’t afford to hire sedan bearers, it’s that sedans have not yet flourished in the Tang Dynasty.
There is only one thing called a shoulder, which is similar to the sliding pole of later generations. Not only is it simple in appearance, but it can only be used by senior and elderly people! If a young and strong person dares to sit on it, he will definitely be scolded.
Shower!
The two teams were walking opposite each other, and when they saw that they were about ten steps away from each other, a man walked out from among the people seeing off relatives on the other side, glanced sideways at Xiao Han's donkey cart, and then raised his whip to the man leading the donkey.
Xiaodong shouted: "Hey, give way to those in front! Didn't you see that this is a happy event? The trick fell to the ground?!"
The dirt road was only so wide. Xiaodong had long seen that the two convoys could not pass by. He was ready to give way. After all, on the road, weddings and weddings all have the right of way. This is also a rule that has been passed down.
But rules are rules, and the way this man is bossing around is annoying!
Xiaodong's hand that was already holding Xiaoqi's halter paused. He raised his head and was about to retort when he heard Xiao Han suddenly say from behind: "Forget it, you have to have quality! Let's give him a break on the big day."
"yes…"
Xiaodong glared at the man. Although he felt a little unhappy, since Xiao Han said he would give in, he didn't want to cause trouble again. He drove Xiaoji to the wasteland by the roadside and made way for the procession of sending off the bride.
"Hurry up, there's a happy event waiting for you at home! Are you too lazy to eat?"
The man became even more proud when he saw that his opponent was so easy to talk to. Seeing him gesticulating with a riding crop, Xiaodong and Lengzi were so angry that they were almost smoking!
Why didn't you take Xiaoqi with you when you came out today? Otherwise, I would have let a dog kill me.
"I can't bear it!" Standing on the side of the road, Xiaodong and Zizi looked at the procession with angry eyes! After following Xiao Han, where did they go without being respectful? How could they have ever been so angry!
The man looked at Xiaodong without saying a word and felt bored. He turned around and shouted loudly for the escorting procession to move forward.
The two convoys slowly crossed each other. When the man passed by the donkey cart, he suddenly tilted his head and looked inside the donkey cart.
The man originally thought that there would be a rich man in the car, but he didn't expect it to be a young man wearing a long gown, and he looked very unfamiliar. After being stunned, he immediately laughed and said to the people around him: "Hahaha, this guy is riding in the car.
It’s just different from those who lead donkeys! If you’re like the guy in front, you’ll have to do some exercise today even if you have no choice but to do something!”
"Hahahaha..." The other nursing homes laughed loudly together, and a few trumpet players almost lost their breath.
At this time, not only Xiao Han frowned, but even Jia Yi and others couldn't help but raise their eyes and take a closer look at the person who was speaking.
I don’t know what this person’s identity is, how dare he speak nonsense in front of a Wuhou! If you know the identity of someone like Xiao Han, Wuhou, you don’t have to take any responsibility if you kill this person on the spot.
But after all, Xiao Han has lived two lifetimes, and he still can't do anything like facing each other with swords at the slightest disagreement. Besides, a lion will not pay attention to the barking of a wild dog.
Get up and look out of the small window of the carriage.
First, he saw the arrogant and annoying guards, and then the bright red carriage passed by Xiao Han's frame. A fragrant breeze blew by, blowing up the curtains of the wedding car, revealing a familiar face inside.
"Master Hou! This guy is so arrogant! Do you want us to go up and give them some color?" Xiaodong glared at the slowly passing wedding party and asked Xiao Han in a low voice.
There are six people, but they have to look good to more than 20 people across from them. Only the people here in Xiao Han have such mysterious self-confidence!
However, Xiaodong is indeed confident in saying this, let alone the superior combat power of the four of them! The cursor assigns weapons to each person, a hundred-refined steel knife at the waist, plus the inner armor worn on the body!
Not to mention the nursing homes in front of us who only know the three-legged cat kung fu, even if they encounter fierce and cruel bandits and horse thieves, they will definitely not be able to get away!
Xiao Han jumped out of the car, looked at the wedding car that he had missed, touched his chin, and asked thoughtfully: "Xiaodong, does this wedding here have to be tied with a knot?"
"What? Getting married?"
Xiao Han's topic span was so wide that Xiaodong was stunned for a moment before he remembered to answer: "No, although there are brides who miss their parents and refuse to get married, but I have never heard of them being tied up. This is not the case.
Bandits snatch the bride!"
"No?" Xiao Han fiddled with the folding fan in his hand, his eyes gradually becoming serious.
