On December 16th, the weather was sunny and the north wind was biting.
However, because the sun is good, it doesn't feel so cold.
However, when I really go out for a walk, the cold wind hits my face, which is really unbearable.
In the early morning, when the rooster crows, Xiao Nianzhi gets up.
The bride, Zhao Yunshu, had already gotten up early to dress up at home.
Xiao Nianzhi also had to get busy, and all the preparations and the like had to start.
A busy day starts with the crow of the rooster.
Although Xiao Nianzhi was tired these days, because it was a happy event, it always gave people endless strength.
So, I can still get up and do it!
Xiao Nianzhi got up early and was busy with work, while Aunt Yu helped.
Grandpa's cough had become severe again in the past two days. Xiao Nianzhi was worried and asked him to rest.
Brother Xiao Ye, I was a little excited when I woke up early in the morning.
In fact...
He didn't sleep much last night.
You're getting married, why aren't you happy?
Zhao Yunshu is a bright and generous girl, without any airs of a noble lady, and she feels comfortable when getting along with others.
How could Xiao Ye not like it?
Just because I like it, I was very excited at night and couldn't sleep at all.
Pulling Xiao Zhou to talk, and then pulling Xiao Qing to talk.
Finally, he succeeded in getting both brothers to sleep, and Xiao Ye barely felt a little sleepy.
Then, I took a nap in a daze. At dawn, I had to get up and tidy up, and prepare to pick up the bride.
There is no rush at this time, but the groom also needs to prepare.
Wash and dress up, tie your hair and change clothes.
After getting ready, he can go out at the auspicious time and then follow the determined route to pick up his bride.
Before Xiao Ye leaves the house, there are still a lot of etiquette procedures to go through.
These are all things Xiao Nianzhi has learned in the past few days, and he has also asked other ladies for advice.
All in all, there is a lot of process.
It doesn't mean that the bride gets up early in the morning and the groom sleeps in the house, waiting for the time to come, and then picks her up.
On the groom's side, there are still a lot of things to be busy with.
The various etiquettes and procedures are enough for the newlyweds to have a busy day.
Otherwise, why entertain guests at night?
Because I really can’t spare any time during the day!
When the sun rose high and it was the auspicious time to find someone to calculate the fortune, Xiao Ye, who had packed up, officially set off on his big horse.
Behind him were the brothers and friends who were welcoming the bride.
Xiao Qing was too young to follow him, but Xiao Zhou was accompanied by other classmates and friends he had become close to.
The etiquette department was so busy that my uncle only took one day off.
Therefore, the officials accompanying Xiao Ye came from Shanglinyuan.
Xiao Ye sighed that his sister's face was so useful, and set off happily and in high spirits.
The team played and played all the way, and in the process, they either threw wedding candies or money.
The quantity may not be large, but it is just for good luck and good luck.
Many children watching the ceremony rushed forward to grab it, but they were sensible and would not make the host family unhappy.
But under normal circumstances, as long as it's not particularly excessive, the host won't get angry over such a trivial matter.
After all, if you celebrate a happy event and feel happy, your patience with many things can also be improved.
Xiao Ye went to welcome the bride happily.
On Zhao Yunshu's side, Mrs. Zhao was wiping away her tears as she got married.
Marrying a daughter and marrying a wife are two different mentalities.
One is to welcome new people into the house and add children to the house.
One is to send a daughter off and be separated temporarily.
The mentality will definitely not be the same.
Mrs. Zhao was reluctant to leave and a little uneasy.
When her eldest daughter married into the East Palace, she was not worried.
Now that the second daughter has married into the Xiao family, even though she knew early on that she was a kind family, there was nothing messy about her.
Even because Mrs. Xiao passed away early, Zhao Yunshu was able to take charge of his own affairs in the past, and his life must have been comfortable.
However, when I think about it, when it comes to reality, I still feel reluctant and uncomfortable!
The Zhao family reluctantly sent Zhao Yunshu to the sedan chair.
Xiao Ye happily welcomed the person back and followed the established route to seek a good meaning.
By the time we returned to Xiao Mansion, it was already noon.
It was just the right time to catch up.
After entering the mansion, the newlyweds went through a lot of procedures, but because Xi Niang and the others were there, Xiao Nianzhi didn't need to worry too much. He only had to keep an eye on the side to see if anything happened.
Fortunately, everything was arranged for a few days, and there was a little practice yesterday and the day before yesterday.
In addition, the ladies are very experienced. How many times have they done this kind of job?
So, something went wrong?
That's impossible.
Everything went smoothly and steadily.
Xiao Nianzhi breathed a long sigh of relief when he watched the bride being sent into her new house.
The ceremony is complete and most of the procedures are completed.
It was almost dusk at this time, and the banquet guests were about to enter the house.
Xiao Nianzhi turned around and had to take charge of the reception.
The female guest in the backyard must be here for her.
She took Aunt Yu with her, and soon Aunt Guo came to help.
The dishes at Xiao Ye's wedding banquet were naturally not as good as the eldest son's banquet in Prince Kang's palace.
However, Xiao Nianzhi also prepared it very carefully and considerately.
Many dishes are creative and look very high-end.
Many female guests like this idea very much.
Some people also plan to ask Xiao Nianzhi how these dishes are made after the banquet is over. Is it convenient for me to tell you?
If that doesn't work, can they come to visit us again in the future?
…
Everyone has a lot of ideas, but today is a wedding banquet, so the main thing is to discuss the newlyweds and say auspicious words.
No one would be offended by saying something depressing at this time.
As for the intrigues and plots.
There may be some in other houses, but there really isn't any in the Xiao family.
Moreover, if you mess up someone else's wedding banquet, then the feud will be serious!
Besides, His Majesty's mental state has been very unhappy recently, and all the courtiers are holding their tail between their legs.
What's more, what about their wives and children?
By the time the guests dispersed, it was already the moon on the branches.
The moon today is quite good. The moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round.
Therefore, today is particularly bright, with a frosty and cold feeling.
Xiao Nianzhi's heels hurt from being busy. After seeing off the last guest, she almost breathed a sigh of relief and slumped there.
But, no, dignified!
When I got back to my room, I couldn't hold it any longer and threw myself on the bed, wishing I could sleep until the end of the world.
But no!
We have morning service tomorrow!
Xiao Nianzhi almost burst into tears!
In the courtyard not far away, the newlyweds were enjoying their wedding night.
As for Xiao Nianzhi...
He was just a migrant worker who was so exhausted that he fell asleep when he closed his eyes.
But while half asleep and half awake, Xiao Nianzhi thought...
It's so tiring to host a wedding, but it shouldn't be so tiring when you're the bride, right?
Not sure, let’s wait and see again?
Before he could figure it out, Xiao Nianzhi fell into a deep sleep.
