Although Wang Yunlin, who was expelled from her family, has become a rootless grass, and her life will only be taken care of by the Hong family from now on, in fact, the Hong family is not careless or neglectful towards her.
On the contrary, her marriage to Hong Lucheng was very public and controversial. It could even be said that in Peiping at that time, she wanted to take the lead.
On the day of the ceremony, under the six-foot red cloth announcing the good news in front of the Wang Family Courtyard, the goose cages, wine, whole pigs, whole sheep, hairpin rings, jewelry, and four-season clothes sent by the Hong family were all in accordance with the highest standards.
There are sixty-four lifts.
Those large carrying boxes painted with red paint and gold were carried by bearers in auspicious clothes. They were placed in half of the alley and made half of the alley red.
The pair of "dragon and phoenix wedding cake baskets" specially sent by "Jinlanzhai" weighed a full 120 kilograms. The pair of "happy fruit baskets" also contained dates, chestnuts, peanuts, and longans piled in small mountains.
All of this made the onlookers stunned. Many people asked about whose girl got married and made such a good marriage.
On the day when I sent makeup and hair dowry, I was equally unambiguous.
In Wang Zhaofu's name, the Hong family urgently purchased a complete set of rosewood and red sandalwood furniture, cabinets, round tables, embroidered sofas, clocks and watches, calligraphy and painting screens, gold and silver jewelry, and even birthday bars and railing tables.
Sixty-four lifts.
The tiles representing real estate and the adobe representing acres of land were piled up one hundred and twenty-eight pieces respectively and placed on the railing table, with the bearers standing at the front of the queue.
When these valuable dowries left the Wang family, naturally a large number of people gathered around the door of the Wang family to watch, wondering whether the match seller, Mr. Wang, had made a fortune.
There are also children gathered around the door singing, "The moon shines through the east window, the girl from the Wang family has a good dowry. A gold lacquer cabinet, a silver suitcase, a tiger-skin chair and an ivory bed. Ingot powder, incense sticks, and two hundred pieces of cotton rouge."
…”
In the children's songs and the divergent discussions, whether Wang Yunlin knew it or not, at least this batch of things gave Wang Zhaofu's family all the glory in their own territory.
To be honest, even if Wang Yunlin really gets married as the eldest daughter of the Wanyan family, the dowry she will receive will be inferior to her.
And on the official day of the wedding, the grand ceremony for welcoming the bride is even greater.
Not only were twenty gun-carrying patrol officers under Hong Fucheng responsible for maintaining order, but there were also a full set of ceremonial guards and drums and music instruments from the "Hexing" wedding sedan shop. The Hong family and the Shou family also came to pick up and send off the bride and groom.
Lincoln" and "Dodge" two cars.
Just for this honor of being able to call the police to clear the way, just for the glory of six sets of golden lanterns, butlers, two sets of twenty-four rings to "dry the sedan chair", and the two green sedans (according to tradition,
The wedding was carried out in three sedans, one red, two green, and the bride took the red one, and the green one took the wedding wife and the bride-to-be wife. The wedding was a luxury car worth tens of thousands of yuan. This wedding can be called a top-notch wedding.
This time, of course, it caused onlookers to block the entrance of the alley on three levels inside and three outside. Even those selling bean juice and fried cakes closed their stalls, and even caused a traffic jam on the outer street.
Needless to say, everyone wanted to see the lavish wedding they had never seen before.
In addition, Wang Yunlin's wedding dress is also extremely luxurious.
It was made by Su Shenzhen's father, Lao Lao Su, who had received 300 yuan, and lit a lamp and boiled oil.
The bright red seawater river cliff auspicious robe, the red satin phoenix wearing peony embroidered skirt, the head full of velvet flower pearls, and the embroidered shoes inlaid with gems are all genuine things. They are trembling and heavy. They can be called pearls and jewels, and their luster is gorgeous.
.
This unimaginable costume fascinates every woman in the Wang family. They all think that as a woman getting married, if she can be so glamorous, she will be worth her weight in life.
The reason why the Hong family was so extravagant and extravagant was because Hong Xiaoru was well aware of the embarrassing situation Wang Yunlin was in and the high price he had to pay.
This not only contains his guilt for his son abducting someone else's daughter, but also means that he wants to show his sincerity by doing something big and make the Wanyan family feel at ease about their daughter's future.
It should be said that from this perspective, the Hong family just wanted to use money to compensate Wang Yunlin to a certain extent.
However, under the dazzling light, under the envy and admiration of the people in the capital, the infinite scenery that enveloped Wang Yunlin was far from enough to offset the desolation and loneliness caused by the decision of family ties.
A few days before her wedding, she secretly shed tears almost every night. But on the day of her wedding, she cried so hard that her eyes were swollen like peaches.
That was not an ordinary polite cry, it was a heart-wrenching cry. Even Shou Jingfang’s mother, who was the wife of the bride, and the Wang family’s aunt, who was the wife of the bride, couldn’t stop it. The more they tried to persuade her, the more they cried. It was a tear that was difficult to end.
Flow into a river.
Some people who didn't know the inside story were still praising the bride. They all praised the bride for being filial and a good daughter who couldn't bear to leave her parents' family.
This was true, but they didn't know that it was not the Wang family that Wang Yunlin was reluctant to leave, but the Wanyan family far away in the "Half Acre Garden" of Liangguo Factory.
She was extremely sad because on her wedding day, no blood relatives were present.
Naturally, in this case, it is impossible to comb your hair, change clothes, or cover your head with a hijab.
So much so that the groom's officers, Hong Lucheng and Shou Jingfang, who were waiting in the courtyard, sweated on their foreheads.
But they couldn't be anxious or annoyed. The only thing they could do was to tell the trumpeters to play "Ma Tofu Dagudu", "Gourd Climb Down the City" and "Shit Beetle Climb" one after another.
Bamboo pole - taller and taller", in order to delay the bride's time and waste time.
This is what the trumpeters wanted. Don't worry, the master will reward them. The longer they play, the more reward they will receive.
So, everyone started "fried tofu" with great enthusiasm.
This piece of music is very unique. The suona, sheng and flute will stop, leaving only the sound of drums and cymbals. The drums are not beating, but rubbing, and the cymbals are not beating, but grinding. It is like a pot gurgling.
Ma Tofu.
Just the drum beat of this bad tune made Hong Lucheng even more upset and restless.
If Shou Jingfang hadn't held him down, he, who was always calm, would have almost walked around the courtyard to the beat of the drums. It would have turned into a big joke, like a farce.
Fortunately, Wang Yunlin also understood the importance of severity. After venting for a while, she began to try her best to control her sadness.
Both the bride-to-be wife and the bride-to-be wife were both quick-witted people. One of them had done a good job, and the other had prepared her head. They worked together and worked hard, and finally the sedan chair waiting outside the door almost missed the auspicious moment.
Finally, as "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix" was played in the courtyard, Wang Yunlin, who was covered with a veil, got into the sedan chair with the support of the two ladies with a dignified attitude. This made everyone who was waiting relax.
One breath.
To say that the wedding procession could set off smoothly was thanks to the twenty policemen.
It was only because they lined up in two rows to guard the left and right. That long snake-like sequence was able to break through the crowds and walk out of the alley onto the street.
And this opening scene is really quite grand.
Those walking in the front were led by a pair of gongs to clear the way, and then there were golden lanterns, golden deacons, Han flags, great deacons, and all kinds of sieve mirrors, green fans, and umbrellas.
In addition, there are two sets of twenty-four-ring drums and music instruments inserted in between. Slowly following at the end are two cars picking up the wife to get married and seeing off the wife.
It can be said to be so majestic, novel and lively that no one who sees it can move away.
However, no one expected that they would encounter something even more eye-catching and shocking along the way.
The Qingqing team had just driven out of a street, and in the middle of the road there was a big-faced Jingxing with a red face, a beard, and a sword in his hand, blocking the road in the middle.
Looking at the red official robe, red gauze, jade belt, thick black soles, black tie inside and black python on the outside, with the hips and shoulders pulled up, you can tell that he is playing Zhong Kui.
Moreover, when the actor saw the team from a distance, he danced and sang loudly.
"The broken umbrellas and lonely lanterns are arranged, facing the peace and security, the light is shining and the cold stars are spitting out. Riding on the donkey, it looks like a spring scene of plum blossoms... Quan is an ice man and ties the red rope, Quan is the moon elder to make an alliance
, Quan is used as an envoy to make a match, and Quan is used as an ax to prove it..."
You know, there is almost no one in old Beijing who doesn’t listen to Peking Opera. This performer’s performance was quite spot on, so the crowd immediately became loud and applauded from everywhere.
It's just that the police today were not in the mood to watch for nothing. They heard the noise in front and thought someone was deliberately causing trouble, so someone immediately went to the front with guns to intervene.
Fortunately, Hong Lucheng is a very smart man. After a short period of surprise, he quickly recognized Yuntai from the noisy voice. So he quickly got out of the car and intervened to stop it, finally preventing the matter from getting worse.
And this "Zhong Kui" in disguise is also shrewd. Although he can't speak clearly in public, he can use drama to fit into the situation. With just a loud shout and a confession, his purpose is completely clear.
"Sister, don't be afraid. In order to take the exam in Beijing, I was trapped in a ghost cave and my appearance changed, so that I sacrificed my life for the future. God saw that I was upright and made me a general who can kill evil and kill evil spirits. I am a god in the world. For this reason, I came to meet you.
, I’m sitting in a sedan chair with you. But my appearance has changed, I’m afraid I’ve frightened you!”
There were actually some changes in the words behind these words, and passers-by could not help but feel a little confused. However, Hong Lucheng was different after all, and he understood immediately.
Daqing still follows the old Beijing wedding custom. When the bride goes out, her parents' brothers must accompany the sedan chair, which is called "pressing the sedan chair." This is to prevent the bearers from deliberately bumping the sedan chair up and down and swaying left and right while walking.
Because this is a special moment for weddings, the bearers have the right to show off and show off their power legally and legally. It is not only to win glory for their own shop and create a brand, but also to ask for rewards from the family.
And because Yuntai was forced by the situation and could not send her with his true identity, he pretended to be Zhong Kui and took his sister's place for the rest of his life. After all, he did not forget his sister's marriage. He was really a man with love and hate.
In this case, Hong Lucheng walked to the front in person and respectfully invited this "righteous god" to accompany him in the sedan chair.
As a result, the Hong family's wedding team had a unique scene.
Next to the bride's sedan chair, there was actually this "Zhong Kui" man holding the sedan pole. Moreover, this "Zhong Kui" still sang all the way, completely replacing the drum and sound instruments of "Gua De Sheng" and "Xi Chong Chong".
"The chariots and horses are at their feet, and they are hurrying along. Banners are setting off, candles are burning, and gauze lanterns are lighting up. Listen to the harmonious singing of the luan and the phoenix. Listen to the harmonious singing of the luan and the phoenix. The sound of the dragon flute knocks on the elephant board, the drum, the drum, and the sheng.
The sound is beautiful, the warm spring mist is melting, and all the beauty comes from itself. Under the umbrella, on the donkey, after riding the hero. Download the car, weak Pingting..."
Watching the wedding procession set out on the road again and gradually receding away, the people on the road were all dumbfounded and could not recover for a long time.
They do not understand, nor do they understand, why a wedding that is supposed to be festive, auspicious, solemn and solemn would allow such a seemingly casual, frivolous, and seemingly absurd scene to occur.
They didn't even understand why the two married families and the numerous police officers just let things go.
On the contrary, Wang Yunlin in the sedan chair was extremely excited while listening to the continuous lyrics.
She didn't even need to look to know that her own brother was outside. And she believed that only her brother could come up with such an unconventional and ingenious workaround.
After all, they are brothers and sisters. They have been in tune with each other since they were young, letting pears push jujubes like pear and jujube. This is Yuntai's temperament. He must do what he should do, and he must do what he should do.
Everything was said without saying a word, and a burst of warm tears burst out again, and fell down the clothes amidst the wailing.
Wang Yunlin didn't care whether Rongzhuang was difficult to deal with, she finally felt relieved...
In this way, the play "Zhong Kui marries his sister" was performed vividly, and the "Zhong Kui" faithfully fulfilled his obligations.
In his hands, the bearers were completely defeated today. They tried their best several times but could not make the pole of the sedan tremble. The sedan moved very smoothly all the way.
In the end, several bearers even thought that "Zhong Kui" was possessed by a true god. Out of awe of his magical power, many people consciously burned several sticks of incense in front of the Stove Lord after returning home.
.
But to say that the person who was completely shocked by "Zhong Kui" had to be Hong Lucheng.
Because when he finally came to the front door of the Hong family, this "Zhong Kui" did not enter.
After saying "Sister, you and I are separated from each other, it is difficult to get together. We will meet again later, please.", "Zhong Kui" flashed his sword at Hong Lucheng who had just got off the car, and ended the escort mission with a singing melody.
And the look in his eyes, the lyrics, and the posture really made Hong Lucheng tremble with fear.
"With my bright ghost lights, the flashing flags appear, rows of big ghosts are ferocious, and teams of small ghosts are ferocious. Holding peace, carrying auspiciousness. The drums and horns sound in unison. The drums and horns sound in unison.
. They are crowded around each other, and ghosts are fighting against each other. From now on, we will eliminate the evil spirits and kill evil spirits, and we will always suppress the family behind us!"
Needless to say, the ghostly atmosphere and murderous intent in this place were regarded as a stern warning from the uncle to Hong Lucheng in advance. It was also the last gift he gave to his sister.
