The second day of the sixth lunar month is a good time to get married and consecrated, but it is forbidden to enter the house or move a family. It is indeed an auspicious day, and God has made it beautiful, and the rain has stopped.
Wu Shigong woke up in the morning, Xiuzhu served him after breakfast, and the two chatted in the room. Suddenly Wu Shigong asked Xiuzhu: "Master, is today the day I get married? Master, I am confused. This
Why is it still so quiet here now?"
Xiuzhu was also a little confused and said to Wu Shigong: "Today is the second day of June. I remember correctly."
Just as he was talking, two groups of people broke into the yard. The two groups were noisy, which shocked Wu Shigong. He couldn't help but laugh a little, and thought to himself: "With my appearance, how can someone come to snatch the bride?"
After listening to their self-introductions, Wu Shigong realized that the two groups were sent by their parents. One group was led by his father's housekeeper, whose surname was also Wu; the other group was led by his father-in-law's housekeeper.
His surname is also Xue. They are all here to help him get married. Listening to them introduce the marriage process to him one by one, Wu Shigong is a little confused. "Stop!" Wu Shigong stretched out his hand to stop the noise of the two housekeepers, "
I can't remember what you said so much. Look, I will do whatever you say later, is that okay?" The two housekeepers thought to themselves: "This is what we want."
Wu Shigong then asked the two housekeepers casually: "I wonder what the name of the eldest lady of the Xue family who married me today is?"
After hearing Wu Shigong's question, Butler Xue looked at Butler Wu strangely. Didn't his young lady's name and horoscopes have been given to the Wu family a long time ago? Didn't the uncle know about it yet? Butler Wu was a little ashamed and forgot about it.
Wu Shigong also saw that there was something fishy about this matter, so he looked at Butler Xue, who quickly stepped forward and replied: "The eldest lady's name is Xue Yufei." Wu Shigong nodded and sighed in his heart: "Only then did I know that my wife
With your name, this arranged marriage is pretty good."
Then, the servants brought by the two housekeepers were busy helping Wu Shigong put on makeup and change into auspicious clothes. They couldn't even embroider bamboos, but Shu Mo didn't know where he came from and limped on.
He approached Wu Shigong and asked, "Master, do you need help with anything?"
"Get out!" Wu Shigong, who was being manipulated like a puppet, felt very unhappy and immediately pushed Shu Mo aside to tell him not to cause trouble.
After changing into the auspicious clothes, Wu Shigong was welcomed to the Wu family ancestral hall to offer incense and kowtow to his ancestors. While kowtowing, Wu Shigong thought to himself: After he kowtows, he will be removed from the Wu family's family tree. In the past, his ancestors'
If you memorize the deeds so well, what's the use now?
After paying homage to his ancestors, he went on to kowtow to Wu Weizhong and his wife to say goodbye. After kowtowing to all the Wu family members, Wu Shigong could finally turn around and leave. That would be a departure without looking back. If it weren’t for the groom’s official title today.
Wearing a black gauze hat with big red flowers on the top, Wu Shigong really wanted to brush his hair. The momentum felt like Jing Ke passing through Yishui and Sister Jiang going to the execution ground. What a tragic wedding!
Butler Wu sent Wu Shigong to the door. His work was over. When he was about to leave, he stuffed a piece of paper into Wu Shigong's arms. The rest was all Butler Xue's work. Waiting outside the door was a horse wearing a red flower on its head.
Wu Shigong climbed onto the tall horse. This horse was so tall! In his previous life, Wu Shigong had only ridden a horse that was not much bigger than a donkey in the park. Compared with the current horse, it felt like a dwarf. Someone around him helped Wu Shigong onto the horse.
This horse must have been carefully selected. It was very docile and remained calm amidst the deafening sound of firecrackers. It slowly moved forward under the guidance of the groom. Wu Shigong's eyes suddenly lit up. He knew the groom leading the horse.
, that’s the poor little Qiang brother.
Wu Shigong has completely relaxed his mind. He watches and appreciates this wedding from the perspective of a bystander. It is like being dragged by a young ethnic minority girl to become a groom in his previous life. It is also similar to the tourism at that time.
It’s different, now you don’t have to pay after all.
The people around were watching the excitement on both sides of the road. Wu Shigong was also looking around with interest on his horse, also watching the excitement. Among the people who were clearing the way, Shu Mo was quite happy. His steps were not particularly neat, but he was standing tall.
Chest, so angry. Why is this kid more energetic than me? Wu Shigong was so angry that he took out the piece of paper from his arms, balled it up and threw it on Shu Mo's head. He told him not to be conspicuous in front of him.
.My skill in throwing paper balls is good and I got ten rings.
At the Xue Mansion of Marquis of Yangwu, guests had been arriving one after another since the morning. It was still early for dinner, and we couldn't let the guests wait, so the Xue family invited a famous opera troupe from the capital to open the ceremony.
There were two or four stages two miles outside, and they began to sing operas to entertain the guests and their families who came first. When Wu Shigong arrived, he would not be so lucky and could not enjoy ancient dramas. He had to accompany Marquis Yangwu
Xue Lian welcomed all the guests.
Around noon, the big shots began to arrive one after another. Wu Shigong was already a little numb in saluting. Especially when he met this prince, that prince, this minister, and that minister, he kowtowed no matter how much. Thanks to Wu Shigong's young age,
He is strong and can withstand it.
It was not until the arrival of Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the Bureau of Ceremonies, that the reception of the guests came to an end. While kowtowing to Wei Zhongxian, Wu Shigong secretly glanced at the famous Nine Thousand Years Old Man in history. He noticed that Wei Zhongxian had no beard, but had a long
He was very handsome, not at all like the ugly stars who performed him in later generations. On the contrary, he felt a little kind to Wei Zhongxian: in the Ming Dynasty, he finally met a big shot that he knew, and he was a big live person.
Wei Zhongxian not only brought his own gifts, but also the emperor's greetings and rewards - a set of wooden, assembleable children's toys, made by the emperor himself. But this is the emperor's reward, and it is difficult to offer it.
It’s too late, who dares to play with their children?
The arrival of Wei Zhongxian marked the official start of the luncheon. As the emcee said: "Let's have dinner!" delicacies from all over the world were served one after another. Wu Shigong, the groom, did not have that good taste. He had to follow his father-in-law, starting from the main table and going to the next table.
There were toasts on the table. Because there were activities in the afternoon and evening, the guests were very considerate of him and did not let him drink. However, after more than 200 tables were laid, Wu Shigong's legs and feet were already weak and he was dizzy. It seemed that his father Wu Weizhong
It is very wise to introduce him as the groom. If it is Wu Shigong's brothers who are weak scholars, it seems that he will be beaten 120.
After the toast, it was almost dusk. Just when Wu Shigong wanted to take a rest, Butler Xue stepped forward to remind him that he was ready to pick up the bride. Wu Shigong slapped his head and was so busy that he almost forgot about it.
.The other protagonist who is getting married should also come out. So he immediately led the wedding team, carried the empty eight-legged sedan, and set off with a lot of fanfare.
three days ago
, mainly to carry out the process of sitting in a sedan chair. Xue Yufei's aunt took it upon herself to hold the colorful yarn, twist it left and right, and with the help of the twisted seams of the yarn, repeatedly rolled it back and forth on her face, wiping out the hair on the face, and gave it to Xue Yufei.
Face opening. After the face opening, Xue Yufei changed from a girl to a woman. After the face opening, the maids and women around Xue Yufei helped cut her forehead and sideburns, trimmed her eyebrows and lips, put on makeup, and finally dressed Xue Yufei.
Wear a red wedding robe.
Xue Yufei was a little uneasy and confused about this marriage. It should be said that every little girl has her own dream of Prince Charming in her heart, and Xue Yufei was no exception. But this marriage came too suddenly, and the form of marriage was also different from the norm, so
Xue Yufei was a little at a loss. Especially the congratulatory visits from her sisters in the past two days. Although they also expressed their envy for Xue Yufei's situation of being able to live with her parents after marriage, there was always a hint of congratulations in her expression and tone, intentionally or unintentionally.
Her husband looked down on her a little, which made Xue Yufei feel a little uncomfortable. However, the maids around her found out that the situation was not good: her husband was not successful in studying and had an introverted personality. Especially after being kicked out of his brain, he became stingy and
Mean (Xue Qiang was told by Xue Lian not to reveal anything about his uncle to the lady. The maids asked the coachman for this, but the coachman’s views were surprisingly similar to Brother Xiaoqiang). Anyway, there is no positive comment. But think about it
Her parents' expectations for this marriage were that she could continue their bloodline, so the filial Xue Yufei reluctantly accepted it.
Wu Shigong's wedding sedan arrived, and Xue Yufei's uncle set off firecrackers in front of his house to greet the sedan. Wu Shigong frowned when he heard the sound of firecrackers. Since his dream of inventing gunpowder was shattered, Wu Shigong has always been very sensitive to firecrackers. But Xue Yufei's uncle's house
Immediately, he opened the door ajar and "blocked the sedan door". This was Xue Yufei's best friend trying to make a profit. This required the man to pay a considerable price and satisfy the people inside before he could let him go. This made Wu Shigong very interesting. Modern
Weddings also have this program. This is in the same vein. Anyway, there is no need for Wu Shigong to worry about the profit, Butler Xue can handle it.
Wu Shigong was watching the fun on the sidelines, but he didn't expect to find him during this show. After Butler Xue satisfied a few of the other party's requests, the other party asked Wu Shigong to write a festive poem. I was not mentally prepared! It seemed that no one had told me that there was such a thing.
Such a program? Wu Shigong looked at Butler Xue for help. Butler Xue quickly approached Wu Shigong and whispered to him: "Quickly take out the piece of paper I gave you just now, it is written on it." Wu Shigong suddenly felt excited.
The urge to vomit blood. The paper ball had long been donated to the sanitation workers of the Ming Dynasty. When my heart got angry, I acted rogue and stood there silently. If you have the guts, you won't let me get married.
Seeing that they were at an impasse, a clever man quickly stepped forward and wrote a limerick. Wu Shigong repeated it according to the script, and finally managed to pass. This can be regarded as a tidbit of Wu Shigong's marriage. However, such a fool made the festive atmosphere even more
Quite a few. The door opened, and the eight-carrying sedan could finally come in to pick up the bride.
Xue Yufei's uncle came out. He held a red candle in one hand and a bronze mirror in the other, and looked into the sedan. Wu Shigong didn't understand what he was doing, but he understood that he must be doing some kind of feudal superstition. Follow him.
One of Butler Xue's bridesmaids went in to urge Xue Yufei to get on the sedan. According to the procedure, she had to urge her three times. Wu Shigong was a little impatient with the wait. Finally, he shouted from the backyard: "The bride is out!"
Wu Shigong was also like an enthusiastic audience, stretching his neck to watch the excitement. The bride was wearing a bright red hijab and a loose wedding robe. It was impossible to tell what her appearance and figure were. Seeing that Wu Shigong was still watching enthusiastically from the front, Butler Xue hurriedly brought her to her.
Pulling back had to be avoided, so Wu Shigong could only retreat and wait outside.
Xue Yufei came out of the backyard wearing a red hijab. After being fed by her aunt, Xue Yufei got on the sedan. After she sat down, she could not move her hips. This means "safe and stable". There is another Quanfu woman.
, placed a copper foot stove burning charcoal fire and spices under the bride's seat. Wu Shigong looked at Zhi Le, and it seemed that he was going to eat roasted wife tonight. Then he set off firecrackers, and sprinkled tea leaves and rice grains on the top of the sedan chair.
After exorcising the evil spirits, I can finally play the wind and hit the sedan chair!
When the eight-carriage sedan passed through the street, it attracted countless onlookers. But Wu Shigong was a little confused, why was the road he took now different from the road he took when he came to welcome his bride? And it was a long detour. He didn't think about it.
Understand that the relatives and friends staying at Uncle Xue Yufei's place have to rush to Xue Mansion to attend the worship ceremony and dinner.
