Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 795: Shen Tang welcomes his relatives, the auspicious time has come
Chapter 795: Shen Tang welcomes his relatives, the auspicious time has come
Chapter 795: Shen Tang welcomes the bride, the auspicious time has come
In the inner courtyard of the Shao family, Liu Xiangling is already dressed up!
Above the head, the velvet flowers woven into the shape of a villain trembled slightly, and the red wedding dress embroidered with colorful phoenixes flowed freely!
Murong Hui sat aside, looking at her daughter who was about to get married, with tears rolling in her eyes! From now on, her daughter would become someone else's wife. Although she knew that her daughter was marrying a good family, she still felt unhappy in her heart. Let go of the sadness of parting with a few people!
The two aunts were busy beside Shao Muyu. For fear of omissions or imperfections, one gently supported the phoenix crown above her head, and the other re-inserted the slightly skewed silver jewelry!
The originally peaceful sound of playing outside the door suddenly became louder and more lively and chaotic than before!
"Oh, the wedding team is here! Sister, go and invite the master over.
Let Mu Yu pay homage and offer tea. We cannot waste time on today's great day.
A happy woman walked in the door, saluted several ladies, said some flattering words, and then picked up the hairpin and solemnly inserted it into Shao Muyu!
This Xi Po is a ‘lucky person’ specially invited by the Shao family. She will personally dress up the bride, add hairpins, and put on a hijab!
Afterwards, the bride will offer sacrifices to God, God of the Three Realms, and Ancestors. After the worship is completed, the bride will offer tea to her parents. After the parents drink the tea, they will also offer tea to God and their ancestors. The gods performed sacrifices to pray for their daughters to marry a good husband...
Not long after, Mr. Shao walked into the door. Murong Hui, who was sitting upright, stood up, stepped forward to hold Mr. Shao's arm, and said softly, "Tell me, why am I so reluctant to let go! Knowing that my daughter Just getting married, but..."
"Hmph! How can you, a woman like you, cry and cry on such a happy day?
If you let others see it, you will be laughed at by others!"
Even though Mr. Shao said this, he was only strong as the head of the family. From the red circles in his eyes, it was clear that his reluctance to let go of his daughter was even greater than that of his mother, Murong Hui.
"You're still talking about me!"
Murong Hui wiped the corners of her eyes, "Last night, I don't know who shed tears all night long!"
Being directly broken by his wife, Mr. Shao tugged at the corner of his mouth and quickly changed the subject, "Okay, let Mu Yu pay homage quickly, the wedding team has already arrived!"
Under the red hijab, Shao Muyu felt complicated. He was not only reluctant to leave his parents, but also filled with joy and expectation of becoming the wife of the Shen family! Although she was often not at home, it was different from this! This time, After she leaves home, she will become a member of the Shen family. This is a happy but somewhat sad thing.
Mr. Shao waved his hand, and then, a maid came in, supported Shao Muyu, and began to worship, while Mr. Shao and others followed behind his daughter...
Outside the gate of Shao's house, the long procession for welcoming the bride has stopped. The trumpeters who followed the procession used their skills to press the bottom of the box. The trumpeters waiting at the door of Shao's house were also unwilling to be outdone. They all started playing, as if they wanted to. You have to compete with the other party to determine who is the best!
Along with the wedding ceremony team, the Shao family has already welcomed them in! The old housekeeper of the Shao family personally took his servants and gave heavy red envelopes to these helpers with joy on his face! He was originally accompanying Shen Tang Behind him, Mingyang, not to be outdone, led the Shen family's maids and servants, carrying a basket full of copper coins wrapped in red paper, giving them away to everyone he saw...
"Welcome the bride, stand in order!"
"In the second year of prosperity, the groom is in the hall, and the bride is in Shao Muyu! The auspicious time to welcome the bride has arrived!"
"Today, I sincerely invite you all to gather in the treasure land of Taihu Lake! Let's taste fine wine and enjoy delicious food! Congratulations to Shen and Shao on their happy marriage, Qin and Jin! The palace is overflowing with splendor, and the guests are looking great, enjoying the harmony of the Luan and the Phoenix!"
"The sun is shining, the sky and the earth are witnesses, the sky is clear, and the mandarin ducks are flying together! Please politely invite the groom to enter..."
The old housekeeper of the Shao family was doing the work himself, shouting festive words in a hoarse voice at the door!
As the old housekeeper finished speaking, Shen Ming and others who were following Shen Tang came forward, laughing and joking, and tore the colorful silk hanging on the Shao family's door plaque into pieces!
This is called ‘making a profit and paying a fortune’, which is considered a lucky draw!
In the Shao Mansion, a sumptuous banquet had already been prepared to entertain everyone who came to welcome the bride! Moreover, the old housekeeper also distributed heavy red envelopes to everyone except Shen Tang.
Shen Tang was directly invited into the main hall, and sat down directly on a chair on the bed, where he drank three glasses of wine! The girl's family then invited someone to let Shen Tang step down, and this happened three times, which is called "sit high" '!
There were people all around who were laughing and watching the fun. The prefect, the magistrate, etc., who were rarely seen on weekdays, were also among the crowds. There was no usual pomp and circumstance!
This process sounds fast, but nearly an hour has passed!
During this time, the bride was busy worshiping gods and ancestors, and the guests outside the door, divided into men and women, competed with each other in poetry.
The Song Dynasty was elegant and carried forward the makeup-inducing poems handed down from the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention the official family, even if it was an ordinary farm family getting married, they would invite several local scholars to sit in the wedding ceremony! Otherwise, if one party loses in this day, It's so tragic, so naturally it will make other people laugh.
Of course, there is no need to invite any talents to Shen Tang's wedding. Among the high officials and minor officials present, which one has not gone through several years of scientific examination and is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics?
The south is headed by Zhang Jun, assisted by officials from the Ministry of Rites, while the woman is headed by Zuo Jianzhang, the prefect of Pingjiang Prefecture, assisted by more than a dozen county magistrates, large and small, plus a group of petty officials!
At this moment, even when faced with the normally awe-inspiring Privy Councilor, they would never give in to each other. The two sides were going back and forth, and some even caught each other in a "fight", causing the people around to sing loudly. It was so lively!
The etiquette between the two parties was finally completed in a fuss, and then, Shen Tang had to go to welcome his bride!
At the door of the back room, headed by the two aunts, seven aunts, eight aunts and other sisters from the mother's family, they were playfully blocking the bride from behind.
A cute little girl, wearing a small wedding dress, jumped out and bowed to Shen Tang in a decent manner, and then a child's voice sang, "When the bride is led out, the more gifts are better, the better." It’s no different than ordinary business, which requires one hundred thousand or one million tied together..."
Before Shen Tang could speak, Shen Ming and others who were following him held a large number of wrapped red envelopes and stuffed them directly towards the little girl and the seven aunts and eight aunts. They even took them directly without knowing which ones. The candy attracted the little girl who didn’t know the truth aside!
