The door of the Wu Mansion was opened, and Wu Anshi and Wu Anzhi came out to greet them. There were also several uncles-in-law of the Wu family, including Ouyang Fa, Wen Jifu, Lu Xiji, etc.
The people who were welcoming the bride from the Zhang family were all happy when they saw the Wu family opening the door. It seemed that Zhang Yue was the one with the most respect, and the Wu family didn't try to block the door.
The Zhang family was suddenly filled with gongs and drums, and music and music.
Zhang Yue was about to enter, but when he saw Ouyang Fa, Wen Jifu and others stopping Zhang Yue, Ouyang Fa said: "Master Zhuang Yuan, why don't you go in like this!"
Zhang Yue said in a low voice with full of contempt: "Brother Bohe, you were the one who arranged the marriage, and now it's you who are blocking the door. Are you here to entertain me?"
Ouyang Fa also said in a low voice: "I don't want to either, but I dare not disobey my lady's instructions."
Zhang Yue whispered: "Brother Bohe, give me some face and be accommodating!"
Ouyang Fa spread his hands and said with a helpless expression: "Du Zhi, I'm sorry, I don't dare to violate my wife's orders."
Zhang Yue cursed in his heart, this is really a person who values sex over friends.
On the side, Wen Jifu said without hesitation, "Duzhi, although you and I are familiar with each other, we are all responsible for blocking the door. This door is like a battlefield where two armies are fighting. There are no brothers on the battlefield. Don't blame me for not being nostalgic."
love!"
Zhang Yue was speechless. Wang Anli on the side said: "Ignore him, come with me!"
But when they saw Ouyang Fa and others standing in front of him, Wen Jifu and others tried their best to block it and shouted: "Du Zhi, why don't you come with letters and come with martial arts? This is against the rules!"
Zhang Yue couldn't care less, so he motioned to Zhang Gong to support him in front. He usually ate enough food for six or seven people, so he had the strength to support five or six people.
Zhang Yuezao knew the rules of blocking the door, so he specially brought him with him today. However, seeing him push in like a pickup truck, several offices in the Wu family were pushed back by him.
The Wu family couldn't afford to eat, so Ouyang Fa said loudly: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I've heard for a long time that Duke Zhuangyuan is a good calligrapher. Leave the ink and ink behind and you can come in."
Zhang Yue thought to himself, this is not bad, and signaled Zhang Gong to step back. The Wu Mansion held out the writing desk, which seemed to be well prepared. Zhang Yue thought about it and wrote on the paper, "Guan Guan Ju Jiu, in Hezhizhou"
.My fair lady, a gentleman likes to marry me. I love you. I love you. I love you. My fair lady, I long for you.'
After Zhang Yue finished writing, everyone praised the calligraphy for his excellent calligraphy and the combination of the title and his intention to marry.
Zhang Yue was about to enter, but Grandmaster Han stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, the groom will write another poem to remind you to make up, and he won't stop you."
Only then did Zhang Yue stop and said, "That's fine. The crystal curtains are open with silver candles, and the wind is shaking the pearls and the clouds are clear. The flowers are evenly decorated with red and pink flowers. I will drive Shuangluan back to Yujing early."
After Zhang Yue finished reading, everyone cheered and the wedding team pushed and pushed to get in.
This time Huiwen Jifu intervened and said: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, this is the work of the bridegroom officer, but Gong Zhang Duzhi, the number one scholar in the imperial examinations, has not yet done it, so we need to add another one!"
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Strict makeup should be placed in an embroidered boudoir, just like the spring fragrance blowing against the morning wind. I wonder if the young peach faces the blue marsh, how is its beauty compared to bronze?"
He truly deserves to be the champion!
Everyone on the left and right applauded. People on Zhang Yue's side also said: "Hurry up and let me in, don't miss the good time."
At this moment, it was Lu Xiji's turn to come forward and said: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, the bridegroom has just passed the official examination, and the first chapter of the Jinshi examination has also been done. There is also Zhang Sanlang, the third grade of the imperial examination, who has not done it yet. He still needs to do it again."
Add one more song."
Zhang Yue understood that the Wu Mansion was not only blocking the door, but also flattering his son-in-law with the guests who came to congratulate him. He smiled and said: "The joy embraces the royal family, and the light moves the beautiful and fragrant streets. Walking under the crape myrtle flowers, I realize that I am an extraordinary guest. No need.
The makeup is innocent and I am afraid it will be too red and white. Leave the shallow part of the dark eyebrows to draw the spring color of Zhangtai."
Everyone in the Wu family cheered again, Ouyang Fa and Wen Jifu cheered especially loudly.
Zhang Yue thought to himself that it was time for me to come in. At this time, Ouyang Fa came forward to stop me and said: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, the number one scholar's official document is great, so there is no need to try again. Now let's take the martial arts test again. Let's take a look at the number one scholar's official document."
How's your archery? It's not too late to get in after passing the archery test."
Without waiting for Zhang Yue to say anything, the servants of the Wu family immediately put up a screen and placed it thirty steps away. They saw that the screen was painted with strange pines and rocks, and a lifelike tiger was painted on the screen, with a pair of tigers staring round.
He glared majestically at the person outside the painting.
What a picture of a tiger descending a mountain!
Wen Jifu presented Zhang Yue with a bow and arrow and said: "The number one scholar is the winner if he shoots the tiger!"
Zhang Yuehan glared at Ouyang Fa and Wen Jifu took the bow and arrow with a glance.
Others couldn't help but worry. Zhang Yue was certainly talented in literature, but he didn't know what his shooting skills were.
For Zhang Yue, thirty paces is not far away, and it is not difficult to shoot the tiger on the screen. The shooting fields in Taixue are all fifty paces away, but Zhang Yue intends to show his ability, and he does not miss his aim after setting up the arrow.
Raise your hand and shoot.
But I saw one arrow hitting the tiger's left eye, and another arrow hitting the tiger's right eye!
Everyone cheered loudly, gave thumbs up and praised: "The number one scholar is a man of both civil and military talents!"
Zhang Yue's shooting skills are simply more admired by others than his literary talents. After all, ordinary people who write poems and calligraphy cannot understand, but their shooting skills can be judged at a glance.
Who would have thought Zhang Yue had such good shooting skills.
One person said loudly: "I heard that in the past, Duke Chen Kangsu and Yao Zi were good at shooting, but now it seems that Zhang Zhuangyuan is even better!"
Another person praised: "It can be said that a hundred steps can pierce the Yang!"
Seeing the neighbors, the neighbors all praised Wu Anshi, Wu Anchi, Wu Andu and others for their good looks. Being able to marry the Zhang family would add even more brilliance to the Wu family's faces.
Wu Anshi and Wu Anzhi looked at each other and were about to go down the steps to welcome Zhang Yue into the house.
At this moment, Ouyang Fa came forward again and said: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, the Number One Scholar..."
This time Wu Anshi and Wu Anzhi were panicking in their hearts. The brother-in-law was working too hard, and it was not like this just because he had a good relationship with Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue had scolded Ouyang Fa ten thousand times in his heart, but he was still verbose at this moment. He took this opportunity to wink at Wang Gong, but when he saw Wang Gong pushing forward with all his strength, he shouted: "Kiss me, kiss me."
Wen Jifu and everyone in the Wu Mansion also saw the same thing and made a fuss to stop him. Everyone immediately broke through the wall of people put up by the Wu family and rushed in.
Since no one was blocking the door, everyone in the Wu family looked happy. Wu Anshi and others took bonuses and distributed them to Zhang Yue's team.
As a banker, Huang Haoyi was immediately stuffed with two small silver plates and a bunch of copper coins tied with a red rope. As for Fan Zuyu on the side, he was also stuffed with a lot of money.
Huang Haoyi put the money in his pocket and said with excitement: "The Wu family is really generous. This trip is really not in vain."
All the classmates looked contemptuous after hearing this, "Did you come here specifically to make profit?"
The people from the Wu family on the side also covered their faces and snickered after hearing this, and everyone felt even more embarrassed.
As for the husband and the matchmakers, Mrs. Zhuang, Wu Anshi and Wu Anchi, they all came forward to give money. This husband and the matchmaker were not easy to offend.
After a while, the bride arrived at Zhang's house and asked her husband and matchmaker to give her advice along the way. If they offended them, some of them who knew about it deliberately did not say anything and they would be laughed at.
He may even deliberately cause a stumbling block, or help the husband's family embarrass the bride.
I hope this marriage will go smoothly and safely. Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang stuffed several gold ingots. They both smiled from ear to ear and kept saying thank you.
As for the servants of the Wu family, they also took a big dustpan, filled it with copper coins, and distributed the money to the people watching the excitement. However, countless people came to cover the scene, and the whole street was blocked.
Zhang Yue entered the Wu Mansion and went to the hall to meet Wu Chong and Li Taijun.
At this time, the Seventeenth Lady, wearing a crimson hairpin dress, holding a fan to cover her face, walked step by step to the hall accompanied by the female envoy.
When getting married in the Tang and Song dynasties, men wore red and women wore green, hence the saying that men and women wore red.
However, it is not certain, as the saying goes, "Marrying high will wear green, marrying low will wear red". Zhang Yue's official position is below that of Wu Chong, so for the Wu family, it is considered a low marriage, so the wedding dress of the Seventeenth Mother is crimson.
In the hall, the married daughters and daughters-in-law of the Wu family were all watching.
The seventeenth mother of Zhang Yue saluted Mrs. Li Taijun of Wu Chong, and Wu Chong said: "From now on, you two must live in harmony as husband and wife, raise eyebrows together, and spread the branches and leaves of the Zhang family."
Li Taijun said: "From now on, as a married couple, the man will take charge of foreign affairs and the woman will take charge of domestic affairs. We will work together to bring glory to our family."
Zhang Yue and Qi Niang agreed upon hearing this.
After giving the instructions, Shi Guan said: "The auspicious time has come!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yue and Qi Niang said goodbye to Wu Chong and Li Taijun, but they saw the Wu girl and her sister-in-law holding Qi Niang and talking for a while in tears.
After the official urged her again, Zhang Yue's seventeenth mother said goodbye and left the house. Everyone in the Zhang family who was welcoming the bride shouted: "The bride is here!"
The gentleman praised and said: "Come out of the pavilion and board the sedan chair."
When the seventeenth mother got on the sedan chair, the Wu family immediately gave the eight bearers money to sell the sedan chair. They couldn't give less money. If they didn't use the money, the sedan chair would bump up and down, and the bride would suffer.
After the bearer had enough money, the gentleman said again: "Have fun and get up the sedan!"
Immediately the drum music started again, and everyone in the Wu Mansion sent the sedan chair away.
The firecrackers were set off, and the sound suddenly filled the long street. Zhang Yue rode a big horse in front, and the sedan chair was behind. The women on the street covered the children's ears, and the men rushed to get the market money. There was a sense of first-class celebration everywhere.
.
Zhang Yue rode on his horse and kept clasping his fists at the people who were congratulating him along the way.
The Seventeenth Mother was sitting in the sedan chair, her mood rising and falling with the ups and downs of the sedan chair, and the sound of gongs and drums could be heard in her ears.
I don’t know how far I walked, but I heard in the distance, “The bride is coming, the bride is coming.”
The Seventeenth Mother realized that she had left her mother's family and arrived at her husband's family. Just as her parents, sisters and sister-in-law had told her, she left the Wu family's door and entered the Zhang family's door. From now on, she was a member of the Zhang family.
.
The sedan arrived at the gate of Zhang Mansion.
It was almost dusk at this time, but I saw that the entrance to Zhangjiafang Lane was very busy, with congratulators and the groom's family members flocking to the sedan.
Mr. Dan Wen praised: "The sound of drum music is heard in Bianzhou. Nowadays, the Weaver Girl is paired with a petunia. My relatives come to pick up the treasure, add makeup and food, and keep it here since ancient times."
Madam Zhuang, the matchmaker, held a bowl of rice in her hands and immediately put it into the sedan chair and said to Seventeenth Niang, "The bride has a bite of rice."
The Seventeenth Mother took off her fan, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, took a mouthful of rice and put it in her mouth.
But I felt that the rice was very soft, glutinous and warm, and it had just been steamed. I heard that many brides had cold rice as their first bite when they arrived at their husband's house.
However, the Zhang family's move made her feel even more considerate at the moment.
