Chapter 21 Big Wedding(1/2)
November sixteenth.
The weather is sunny.
Suitable for marriage.
Beat gongs and drums, and the music is loud.
That morning, Zhang Guangzhi, Liu Fangqi, Zhao Laiji, Zhang Laoliu, oh, after Zhang Laoliu became an official, he specially invited a scholar, named Zhang Ji, and also named him Cheng'an.
Wu Fa was a little envious of this boy. His hair style really didn't mean that it meant wealth?
All the generals and generals in Huben camp, and more than a hundred households, sent gifts, and the familiar generals and generals Zhaoyong even sent gifts in person.
Wu Fa was a newly rich man, so naturally he didn't recognize many nobles and ministers in the court. But they were all very interesting. Although the civil servants looked down on the reckless man, they wanted to respect him as a baron, so they all sent congratulatory gifts.
There were only a few relatives here, so the gift was considered sufficient in terms of honor, and the gifts were not light.
When welcoming visitors from all over, Wu Fa still underestimated the status of the baron. Not only the nobles in the city, but also shop owners and wealthy merchants all sent congratulatory gifts. A rough estimate was that at the end of the day, the congratulatory gifts alone amounted to nearly ten thousand taels of silver.
"Wow."
Wu Xin was in the room, and her eyes began to shine.
When my brother was still young, he could take home less than a piece of silver. Now, the silver alone, not counting other gifts, amounts to nearly ten thousand taels: "If my brother can get married once a year, wouldn't he want to make a fortune?"
While eating candy, Wu Xin was thinking about whether her brother should get married more times in the future.
Xiangling reminded from the side: "Girl, you can only marry once in your life. From now on, you will be keeping concubines. You won't do it in such a big way. Also, these gifts must be returned in the future."
We come and go, you get married and I come to congratulate you, but you don’t come to the weddings and funerals at my house?
This is human kindness.
Wu Xin was a little disappointed.
"Girl, this needs to be placed properly."
Two maids walked in holding a pair of jade Ruyi: "Just now in the palace, His Majesty the Emperor gave me a wedding gift."
"The emperor also sends congratulatory gifts?"
Wu Xin was in a daze, her brother was really capable, and the emperor would give him face.
Wu Fa, who didn't even know about his sister, was planning to get married a few more times and then get rich. Before the sun set, Wu Fa set out from his mansion.
I was riding a big horse and rubbing my face. Everyone I saw this day looked happy, and the muscles on my face were a little sore when I smiled.
Wearing a red outfit with a big red flower hanging on her chest, she walked by and saw people watching the excitement on the side of the road.
Some people even shouted enthusiastically: "Baron Wu is happily married."
"Congratulations to Baron Wu on your wedding..."
My uncle grinned happily. He carried a big bag on his back, which was full of copper coins. After walking a certain distance, he grabbed a handful and threw them out.
After a long circuit, we finally arrived at Qin Mansion at dusk.
The word "marriage" originally means "twilight", which means to welcome the bride in person at dusk and bring her back home. This is a good and auspicious day.
Although the Qin Mansion is not as lively as the Baron Mansion, there are still many people.
In these days, weddings and happy events all require banquets. Many people wear festive clothes and pay some money to eat and drink. Therefore, there are many strangers in the house who don't care.
There are a lot of children, and they are crawling around everywhere.
Several young wives screamed and cursed. Some children slipped between their legs, and some even hid under their skirts.
"Uncle is here!"
"The groom is here..."
Mixed shouts and blessings.
"The groom is so handsome..."
"Look at how beautiful your nose is."
"I think the ears look good, they are big and comfortable to twist..."
Vaguely, someone praised him for his handsomeness, and finally mixed in all kinds of nasty remarks.
For example, the groom is quite tall, but I don’t know how big the groom’s brothers are...
Grinning, how old are you?
Scared you to death!
The greatest pride of rebirth is a ruler...
An ancient ruler.
After a day of welcoming guests and being busy with all kinds of things, Wu Fa was unfamiliar with weddings in his previous life, let alone the more complicated weddings of this era.
When he saw the newlyweds wearing wedding clothes and being sent out of the room, Wu Fa's face became dull for a moment, and he cursed in his heart: "Which Gou said that when you welcome a bride, you should have a poem to open the door?"
Last night, he racked his brains and recalled two songs. He was planning to make a big splash today, but you tell me I can't use them?
Not only was there no need for the opening poem, but after following the bride to bid farewell to her father-in-law, he just watched as the bride got into the sedan chair and was put into the sedan chair by several nuns. In the sedan chair, the bride opened a corner of her red hijab and fed her a few mouthfuls of rice.
Then he was kicked a few times by Cai Xiong, and then he got on the tall horse in a daze.
Isn’t it quite complicated?
It's nothing to do with me.
Can my feelings only be used during the wedding?
Riding on a tall horse and following the sedan, Cai Xiong was even happier than he was getting married. He was carrying a large bag of copper coins and wandering all the way.
It wasn't until outside the Baron's Mansion that Wu Fa was asked to personally lift the curtain of the sedan chair, hold a big red flower, one for each person, and lead the bride in. There was not even the custom of stepping across the brazier as seen on TV.
"Worship the heaven and the earth..."
"Two bows to the high hall."
"Husband and wife pay homage."
"Send it to the bridal chamber!"
There was a large group of children shouting, usually not a single one, but now dozens or hundreds of children were following behind them, all the way to the outside of the bridal chamber.
Wu Fa could not enter the bridal chamber, so he was pushed out of the door and then drank...
I don’t know how long he drank, but both of Wu Fa’s sleeves were wet.
Fortunately, there was insufficient light at night so few people could see clearly. Wu Fa even deliberately knocked over the wine pot, leaving wine dripping from his sleeves.
"Squeak..."
Finally I opened the door of the bridal chamber and it was very quiet inside.
Qin Keqing sat on the bed, with jewels and beads standing on both sides.
Grinning, Wu Fa stepped forward.
Ruizhu held a jade Ruyi and said, "Master, use Ruyi to lift the hijab."
Wu Fa's heart beat faster. Although he had met Qin Keqing once, his memory gradually became blurred during this period. He only knew that his daughter-in-law was very beautiful, that kind of beauty that was unique in the world.
This most beautiful woman in the Red Mansion is his wife from today on.
Wu Fa believed that under his care, this woman with an extremely unfavorable sentence would be a good wife.
Lifting the hijab, Qin Keqing bowed her head shyly. Wu Fa's breath was stagnant. Even though he had seen Qin Keqing in wedding clothes and wearing a phoenix crown, Wu Fa still felt his mouth was dry.
pretty.
There are no words to describe it, no matter how many high-tech beauty filters are used, it is difficult to see this kind of beauty.
"Ke'er..."
Qin Keqing's nickname is Keer, and only Qin Ye has ever called her her.
With a blush rising on her face, Qin Keqing whispered: "Uncle..."
This title is too weird. I call you Ke'er, but you call me uncle? Are you uncle or your uncle's uncle?
But it’s so exciting.
I'll let you be an uncle, you can't mess with a husband?
"hey-hey."
Wu Fa is just silly.
"Uncle...Uncle."
Qin Keqing's heart almost jumped into her throat after looking forward to meeting each other for a long time.
"Master, it's time to drink Hexin wine."
Wu Fa took the wine glass and handed it to Qin Keqing. He frowned slightly and poured out some of the wine, leaving only a little: "I won't drink in the future, and neither of us will drink."
After his rebirth, Wu Fa drank alcohol very rarely.
