The courtyard of Xu Zizhen's house is very spacious. The ground from the door to the main hall is paved with neat long strips of bluestone, which are washed with water so bright that they can almost shine through the faces of people. The guests came to the courtyard and stood on both sides, all curious.
I looked around, but didn't see anything new.
An old man walked out of the hall with a smile, his figure was steady as he walked, his eyes were shining, and although there was a smile on his face, he was not angry or intimidating. This is today's ceremonial officer, Marshal Zongze, who is currently staying in Kaifeng Mansion. Guests
Those who knew him were immediately surprised.
"Marshal Zong is actually the singing officer today?"
"Hey! Xu Zizhen is quite proud."
"Shhh... look who else is here, I'm afraid this formation is going to be huge."
Xu Zizhen turned around and faced Zongze who came out, cupping his hands and saying, "Marshal Zong, you have worked really hard today."
Zongze deliberately expressed his displeasure: "Brother Zi Zhen is born with such a high status. Could it be that he despises me for not being able to make friends for so many years?"
Xu Zizhen quickly apologized: "I don't dare, I mean Mr. Zong... Oh, I have a long journey, and I really don't dare to work for you."
Zongze, who was born as a military general and had a very cheerful personality, said with a smile: "Okay, I'm just joking with you. The auspicious time has come, so don't delay any longer."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, brother." Xu Zizhen stopped being polite and straightened his clothes and stood up.
Zongze looked solemn and shouted, "Come on fire!"
The doors of the wing rooms on both sides suddenly opened, and dozens of people rushed out from inside. Judging from their clothes, they were students from Yingtian College. These dozens of people came to the courtyard quickly and neatly, and then divided into two teams.
Stand left and right, with your back as straight as a javelin.
While the guests were puzzled, Zongze shouted again: "Get ready!"
Dozens of people all held sticks about ten feet long in their hands, and upon orders they all inserted them into the cracks in the blue bricks on the ground in front of them.
"ignition!"
With another loud shout, dozens of people blew fire at the same time and nodded on the sticks. Then in the surprised eyes of the guests, the tops of the sticks actually burst out with extremely gorgeous flowers.
There were sparks, and they simultaneously stepped away and disappeared, as if they had never appeared before.
Only then did everyone realize that each stick turned out to be a specially made firework, and the distances between them were as precise and uniform as if they had been measured. They were lined up straight from the main door to the hall door, with a passage about two feet wide separated in the middle.
Fireworks! Almost everyone thinks of this word. Due to the strict control of gunpowder, the fireworks of the Song Dynasty were not something ordinary people could set off, because it was not possible to buy them if they wanted to. But Xu Zizhen had many ways. There was a science and engineering department in the college, which made
Isn't that what it's about?
The guests' emotions were gradually lifted, and at this moment Zongze shouted loudly: "Let's get started, the newcomers are entering!"
A burst of clear notes sounded like the flow of a mountain spring, followed by clearer and louder flute sounds interspersed with low drumbeats in between.
All the guests were stunned because none of them heard what kind of music it was. This piece of music was very strange. Whether it was an ancient piece or a current style of music, it was very different from it. Moreover, everyone didn't think it was weird when they heard it.
It sounds good, but the strange thing is that the interspersed performance of such a piece of music makes people feel that it is impeccable in such an occasion, and it is so suitable.
Of course they have never heard it, because it is the "Wedding March" by the German Mendelssohn. This piece was originally supposed to be played by an organ, but it was still hundreds of years away.
Bang bang bang!
The remaining long doors of the hall opened at the same time, and everyone finally discovered the source of the music. They saw a dozen women lined up on the left and right of the main entrance of the hall, with beautiful faces and elegant temperaments. They were all wearing floor-length white skirts, holding or holding something in their hands.
Holding the piano or playing the flute, with long hair and flowing clothes, looking from the courtyard, it seems that dozens of fairies have descended to the mortal world, giving people the illusion of being in a fairyland.
"Here comes, here comes the bride!"
Someone called out, and all the guests' eyes turned towards the door. They saw three women in bright red wedding clothes walking in from the door, with mandarin duck clothes and red skirts, pearls and gold hairpins on their heads, and faces.
Her face was smeared with rouge and lipstick, and her eyes shone with shyness, but there was also an obvious joy that could not be suppressed.
All the guests in the hall were in an uproar. Didn't Xu Zizhen marry two people at the same time? How come there were three? Moreover, this guy ignored the etiquette too much. The bride had not yet worshiped, but he walked in without wearing a red hijab?
Xu Zizhen remained unmoved, still smiling and waiting outside the hall door. There were three brides not far away in front of him. The one in the middle was Gao Pujun, the one on the left was Wen Xian, and the one on the right was Kou Qiaoyi.
As early as the last time he got married to Mo Li'er, he had thought about giving Kou Qiaoyi a status, and the wedding was also indispensable, but it has been postponed until now, but he deliberately hid it and only secretly returned it to Mo Li'er.
Su San discussed it. Just this afternoon when Kou Qiaoyi was busy with her business, Su San suddenly hugged her and dragged her into the house with a smile. No matter how she yelled for mercy, she and Mo Lier and Lin Chaoying would give it to her.
I changed into wedding clothes and makeup and gave her a big surprise.
Kou Qiaoyi has been waiting for this day for a long time. Although all she wants in her heart is to be with Xu Zizhen, there is no girl in the world who doesn't want to have a happy family and a lively and gorgeous wedding, and she is no exception.
Looking at Xu Zizhen who was looking at him with a smile outside the hall, Kou Qiaoyi was extremely moved. Tears were about to flow out, and his feet were trembling a little. He accidentally walked half a step ahead of Gao Pujun and Wen Xian.
Gao Pujun chuckled and whispered: "Sister Qiaoyi, step more slowly, don't forget what Xu Zizhen said to us."
Kou Qiaoyi suddenly woke up and let out a soft cry, her pretty face flushed red. Her inadvertent actions just now seemed like she was impatient to get married. How embarrassing would that be? She quickly lowered her head and tried her best to be gentle with Gao Pujun.
Xian's steps were in unison, and she held back her tears due to such nervousness, but soon she raised her head again because she remembered what Xu Zizhen had told them when they came out.
"Remember to look up, brother will invite fairies to join in the fun."
Gao Pujun sneered at Xu Zizhen's words, Wen Xian was doubtful, but Kou Qiaoyi firmly believed that what Xu Zizhen said was true.
The guests opened their eyes and opened their mouths as they watched these three beautiful brides walk past them. The fireworks and the melodious music were set off. This combination was something none of them had ever seen before.
At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Flowers! Flowers! Flowers are falling!"
Sure enough, just when Gao Pujun and the three girls walked into the courtyard, bright red petals suddenly fell from the sky. The petals were occasionally stained with tiny dewdrops, and slowly fell on everyone's heads and faces.
On the body.
The guests all shouted excitedly and looked up to find the source of the petals, but no matter how they looked, they couldn't see anyone on the roof or in the tree.
Kou Qiaoyi and Wen Xian were already in tears, and the excitement and joy in their hearts could not be expressed in words. Gao Pujun was stunned: "The goddess scatters her flowers? This... how is this possible?"
