When picking up the bride, the sedan cannot be left empty, so children who "press the sedan" are necessary. Tongtong and Maomao wear festive new clothes and sit in the sedan before dawn. They temporarily open the curtain to look at the adults and urge them.
The sedan bearers should hurry up and don't delay picking up the bride.
Li Qingyun saw the excitement of the two children and secretly smiled in his heart. He, the groom, was not as anxious as they were. Tongtong was in a good mood, and he didn't know if her mother had defrauded her of her money. But it was only small money, and she was just afraid of this.
The child loses trust in her mother and has no fantasy childhood.
Li Qingyun is wearing a custom-made Tang suit today, an authentic groom's suit, mainly red, with golden patterns printed on it. He has a big red flower tied on his chest, and he rides on a snow-white horse with red silk tied around its neck.
Hu Dahai, Wang Chao and others came early in the morning and insisted on taking a photo with Li Qingyun. They said that retro weddings in this era are rare. If you meet an authentic one, you must not let it go. After taking the photo, you have to send it to your friends.
Circle, let everyone see it.
Okay, let's just treat today as a filming. I was used as a prop and took turns taking photos with these beasts. It wasn't until the sound of setting off firecrackers that these guys let Li Qingyun go.
Although Li Qingyun looked energetic and handsome in this groom's suit, he thought it was nothing good to look at. The bride's outfit would be more beautiful when she wears it. The wedding dress was custom-made by Li Qingyun and Yang Yunu. After it was finished,
Of course I will try it on again.
The sound of the suona was blown along with the sound of firecrackers, and the welcoming team officially set off.
Two children were being dishonest while sitting in a sedan chair. They stuck their heads out of the sedan window and fired cannons at the sight of cat eggs. When crossing a bridge, they fired off cannons. When they saw water, they fired off cannons. If they wanted to, they could also fire off cannons. These cannons were small cannons.
It takes a lot of preparation, as one stick is as long as it is, and after lighting it, it can be exploded in just over ten seconds.
Li Yuncong prepared a lot of cigarettes and dozens of red envelopes in his pocket. They were all filled with change, ranging from five yuan to ten yuan. There were even some one-dollar banknotes mixed in. It looked quite thick, but in fact, there was not much in it, at most.
Only sixty or seventy yuan.
The old boatman had been waiting on the shore for a long time. This was an appointment in advance. Normally, the old boatman should not have gone to work. As soon as he got on the boat, the old boatman smiled and congratulated Li Qingyun: "The groom is in good spirits today. I wish you all the best."
Let’s grow old together and have a son soon!”
After saying the auspicious words, Li Yuncong gave him a red envelope and stuffed him with two packs of cigarettes without Li Qingyun having to say anything. After all, asking people to get up early and wait for them, the proper expression must not be missing.
The old boatman received the gift, his eyes narrowed with joy, and he quickly sent everyone across the other side. They had to set off cannons when they got on the boat, and they also set off cannons when they got off the boat. The two children saw that the cannon-shooting monster was fun, and they actually wanted to grab the small package of cat eggs and firecrackers.
.
The adults following the sedan saw this and hurriedly scolded the two children to prevent them from moving. Although the eight strong men were carrying the sedan and were not afraid of the weight of the two children, they could not withstand the shaking of them inside.
The sedan swayed sideways.
Li Qingyun's sister is one of the female relatives attending the wedding. She and her matchmaker aunt will enter the house to communicate with Yang Yunu's family in advance and even help the bride dress up.
Of course, they don’t need to worry about Yang Yunu’s makeup. After all, when taking wedding photos, they provide makeup services for free, and for extra money, they can provide door-to-door service. When Yang Yunu called, they said that they were afraid that they would be late yesterday.
In the afternoon, a little girl came and stayed at their house, specially doing makeup for her.
Li Qinghe scolded Maomao a few times and even Tongtong. The two children immediately became more obedient, lowered the curtain, and sat back in the sedan obediently.
It was too close to Chenjiagou. After playing for ten minutes, the sedan chair had already reached the entrance of Chenjiagou Village. There were already young and old men from Chenjiagou waiting at the entrance of the village, begging for wedding cigarettes and money.
Li Yuncong had already prepared to deal with such peripheral personnel. He took out a handful of red envelopes from his trousers pocket. They were very thin and contained one-yuan banknotes, some five, some seven or eight, and no more than 10 yuan at most.
He took out a handful of red envelopes and threw them out casually to see who could grab the red envelopes. The large sedan chair had already passed smoothly while the crowd was grabbing the red envelopes.
The rule here is that after the sedan has passed the checkpoint, you can no longer chase the sedan to ask for anything.
Several young people who wanted to cause trouble for Li Qingyun were surrounded by people snatching red envelopes and couldn't move away. They watched the sedan chair enter the village and cursed their mothers in anger.
Li Qingyun was riding a tall horse and could see clearly, but he didn't provoke. No matter how hard these guys tried, they couldn't do anything. As long as they didn't go out of line, it was just for fun, so you could give him some freedom. If you wanted to go out of your way,
Some people were trying to deal with him. My cousin Chen Sheng found a group of friends who were having fun and were waiting at the entrance of the village. Seeing that they entered the village smoothly, they didn't come over to say hello.
The second cousin Chen Li has also returned from working in other places. Li Qingyun hasn't seen him yet, but he will not be idle. If there is trouble, he will definitely help. The second cousin has a bad temper and works out of town as a security guard or watching events.
And so on, if grandpa hadn't been in strict control,
The sedan stopped at the gate of Yang Yunu's house. Some women and children gathered around the door. They were not blocking the sedan, but just watching the fun. In this case, throw a few candies over and the sedan could stop at the front door.
.
From the yard, my sister-in-law Yang Yudie's shouts came, saying that the wedding team was coming, so everyone should prepare quickly. You don't have to guess what to prepare, it will definitely be a difficulty to prevent Li Qingyun from entering easily.
"Who is outside the door?" Yang Yudie shouted, standing at the door with a group of sisters, aunts and aunts. Although the door was hollow and they could clearly see the people inside and outside, they still held back their laughter and did the usual routine.
A difficult juncture.
"It's me, your brother-in-law. I just bought you a few sets of new clothes in the city, and in the blink of an eye, you don't recognize them anymore?" Li Qingyun suppressed a smile, with an expression as if he was going to accuse him.
The girls next to them must be Yang Yudie's party sisters. They laughed suddenly, pointed at Yang Yudie's nose and ridiculed: "Okay, it turns out you have been bribed. No wonder your questions are all soft and not fierce at all.
Jin. Get out of the way, let us ask."
"No, there are several new clothes, how about just one? Brother-in-law, please don't frame me up? Oops... Okay, don't pull my clothes, I'll give you the seat at the door." Yang
Yudie said as she was already pulled behind.
A thin, dark woman in her twenties began to ask her second question: "What are you doing here?"
Li Qingyun immediately put on a smile and replied: "Sister-in-law, I'm here to pick up my wife. Last time I came to give you a big gift, I even toasted you with a few drinks. I know you are a good drinker. I also have good wine in my house. What?
When you go to the market and pass by, you must stay at home, and I will ask Yu Nu to cook some more dishes for you."
When the woman heard this, she was immediately overjoyed and said with a smile: "That's a good relationship. I like the old wine you brought. It's very fragrant. When I go back, I still dream about the taste... Oh, don't drag me... let me
Chat a little more with big brother..."
The group of girls at the back were unhappy and laughed: "Sister-in-law, you are such a drunkard. We are trying to stop the groom. What kind of parents are you nagging? Come over here and let us do it."
Several girls stopped in front of the door together and chirped: "It's not that easy to pick up a wife. Have you prepared a red envelope?"
"That's necessary, please ask some beauties to show their respect and let me pass." Li Qingyun made a gesture, and Li Yuncong immediately stepped forward and stuffed a handful of red envelopes. As for how to divide them, that was their business.
This time I stuffed at least ten of them. They were thick red envelopes with about sixty yuan in them. They were definitely considered generous gifts in Qinglong Town.
Several women shared the red envelopes, and when they opened them, they were stunned. They wanted to embarrass the groom a few more times, but each of them shared a red envelope with sixty or seventy yuan in it, which was three or four times more than other people's red envelopes.
Times, I'd be embarrassed if I asked for it again.
"Okay, seeing that you are so sincere, let's..." Before the girls could finish speaking, Yang Yudie covered their mouths.
Yang Yudie squeezed forward and said angrily: "We can't let him go so easily. He dared to accuse me just now. I must ask him a few more questions. My sister is a famous beauty within dozens of miles.
If you want to marry her, you must know her very well. Then let me test you, do you know when my sister’s birthday is?"
These are all small questions. With Li Qingyun's memory, how could he not know it and say it casually? Yang Yudie asked a few more side questions, including what size shoes were, what size clothes were, and what size the bra was.
.
Yang Yudie had no questions after asking, but the woman next to her laughed so hard that she felt it would be a bit embarrassing to ask any more questions.
Yang Yudie's mother probably couldn't stand listening in the room anymore. She didn't want her second daughter to make a fuss in front of others, so she asked her son Yang Yulong to persuade her to come back and open the door to let the groom in. Where could she find such a good son-in-law?
, don’t polish off his temperament, I will be completely satisfied if my eldest daughter marries him.
"Hmph, forget it, I've given you an advantage today. Since you wronged me and said you bought me several sets of clothes, you have to compensate me in a few days." Yang Yudie reluctantly remembered what happened just now, and then
Slowly opened the door and let Li Qingyun and his party in.
The sound of the suona sounded again, and Li Qingyun went down and led the horse into the yard, followed closely by the large sedan chair. Several female relatives who had received the bride then entered the main room to see the bride.
The entourage carrying the box at the back presented the gifts. The people on Yang Yunu's side would catch the gifts, carry them to the kitchen, and keep what should be kept.
The female relatives coming out soon came out and said that the woman wanted a sedan gift. The sedan gift is also a red envelope. This is a habit that has only been introduced in the past two years. It cannot be said to be good or bad. If you want a red envelope casually, it is okay if there is no limit on how much. If
If the amount is stipulated and the groom cannot come up with it, many newlyweds will be unhappy because of this and may even fail to get married.
Since there is this rule, Li Qingyun's family has already prepared it, and Yang Yunu will not lose face. When asked how much the matchmaker would pay, the matchmaker smiled and said it was casual. The woman was easy to talk to. If she didn't care about the money, she just wanted to gain fame.
Li Qingyun understood, and without him saying a word, Li Yuncong took out a thick red silk bag from his bag. Inside was nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan, symbolizing longevity. Take out this red envelope and you will see it everywhere.
