Lao Qin booked a few rooms at the Chengnan Inn, sent Ji Junbi and others there, and found a few maids to wait on him. According to the custom here, the day before the wedding, the couple could not see each other. I naturally ignored this and came to the inn to accompany her as usual.
Ji Junbi is a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes. These red tapes caused her a headache, but she didn't say anything, and looked a little gloomy. I told her a few jokes, and she was also feeling dispirited, and she kept getting sleepy. I asked what was wrong, she was not feeling well
Ji Junbi said that since meeting the white-clothed monk, he has been upset recently and always feels something is wrong. I said it won't be premarital syndrome, don't think too much, tomorrow is our happy day, rest early.
Liu Qingfeng was also familiar with it. He entangled with a group of neighboring brothers that night and wanted to celebrate. He just poured me three or four catties of wine. If I hadn't used my internal force to drain the wine, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to marry the bride.
Early the next morning, gongs and drums sounded and firecrackers sounded in unison. Wearing a red robe, wearing a laurel crown, riding a tall horse, I walked with Liu Qingfeng in the head of the wedding party.
Behind is the Eighteen Carriage Sedan. According to court etiquette, only officials of Grade 3 or above are eligible to ride the Eight Carriage Sedan, but today it is also considered as a small sedan. It is not arrogant.
There were more than one hundred people in the welcoming team, some of them were helped by the neighbors, and some were invited by Lao Qin with money.
Sixteen BMWs of all colors followed. Old Qin said that there are people in the county who do this kind of business. Each horse pays one or two dollars a day for fodder. I said it means getting married, there is no need to rectify so many formal things.
Lao Qin was not happy at the time. You thought that getting married was for you to see, it was for the neighbors in the surrounding villages. Why did you spend so much money for this
While thinking about it, Liu Qingfeng suddenly said, Sanguan, I want to ask you a question. I said no need to ask.
Why
On weekdays, you just say directly what you have to say. Why do you still have to make preparations today? There must be no good things, so it is better to say a few words, so that I can worry about it.
Liu Qingfeng asked, do you really like Ji Junbi? Or let me ask from another angle, did you marry Ji Junbi because you really like her
Hearing this, a person's shadow flashed in my heart inexplicably.
For me, Ji Junbi sacrificed his life several times to save him, even breaking the light curse. In Moming Lake, a seed was planted in my heart. Later, in Biquan Mountain Villa, Xuejiazhuang, and Tangmen, the seed slowly sprouted and grown, and it has not been cultivated until today.
But more than that, there is a restricted area hidden in the corner in my heart. Where is the past laughter and happiness, but also endless troubles and sorrows.
Someone once said that love is presumptuous and love is restraint.
A person in red is like a fire, dare to love and hate.
A person in white clothes is like ice, elegant and indifferent.
There seemed to be two contradictory selves talking in my mind.
One said: You still don't know enough, being able to marry a little witch is already a blessing for your three lives cultivation. She was born and died for you, you should cherish this girl, don't let her down.
Another said: nonsense, this is she who saved you, you feel guilty in your heart, you obviously like Murong Qiushui in your heart, otherwise why every time you buy Xiaosheng Jianghu, the first reaction is to see if there is news about Murong Villa
In the midst of losing consciousness, I heard Liu Qingfeng say: scum man!
I was taken aback, what
Liu Qingfeng pointed to a stone monument passing by. I saw that the team arrived in Chanan Town and immediately arrived at the county seat. After getting rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart, it didn't take long to come to the inn.
Amid the sound of gongs and drums, the bride was dressed in a red dress, embroidered with Danfeng Chaoyang, on glazed boots, and a gilt peony-red hijab gleaming in the sun. Ji Junbi got on the sedan chair with the help of the old mother.
Where are the two elders of the Demon Cult? I was puzzled, but I didn't see the two of them.
A group of people whistled and beaten and walked back. The custom in the village is that on the way home to greet the relatives, the sedan chair must be turned over, that is, the sedan chair is thrown away. This kind of sedan chair is mostly made of poplar wood, which is relatively light, and the bride is only two to three hundred catties. There are many weaker brides who faint on the sedan chair.
Out of the county seat, the eight bearers deliberately show off, picking up uneven places and walking fast and slow, sometimes high and sometimes low.
Suddenly, there was a chorus, and amid the sound of gongs and drums, the eight people carried the sedan chair and juggled, moving the sedan chair up and down, left and right. This is also a trick to trick the bride. I said in my heart that Junbi is a martial artist, and there should be no problem dealing with these. The eight people lifted the sedan chair upwards, and were about to fall, when suddenly their shoulders were weighed down by a thousand pounds, and they knelt down on the ground.
The bride could not speak on the way, so I said, the brothers worked hard, the bride has a bad temper, so it is better for us to get home safely.
The bearer then stood up in a daze, and slowly moved forward holding the sedan chair.
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, someone was waiting to be greeted long ago. A deacon was spreading happy money at the door.
Get off the sedan chair!
There were two bridesmaids long ago, and they were divided into the positions of introducing praise and general praise. Under the guidance of the two, I helped Ji Junbi to the front of the flower hall. Ji Junbi's palms were cold and trembling slightly.
Into the incense, offering incense, one kneel and three bows.
Firecrackers blasted in unison.
After three bows, the two bridesmaids shouted, three bows!
Worship the world!
Second worship Gaotang!
Husband and wife worship!
Li Cheng, sent to the bridal chamber!
There are four joys in life, for a long time in the rain, the rain in the rain, the old-fashioned knowledge in another country, the wedding night in the bridal chamber, and the time when the gold list is inscribed.
I haven't been cold about this kind of ritual stuff, but at the moment of worship, I was moved in a mess. The so-called "little fortune" in life is exactly this kind of ritual sense cultivated in life.
When the old mother helped the bride into the inner room, my parents and I greeted the guests in the front yard. Every time someone gives a gift, someone sings.
Li Dazhuang from Xihu Village gave Xi Ling two yuan and two hundred texts, congratulations to the Qin family!
Uncle Cunbeiha sent 30 coins of copper coins to wish the old Qin family an early son!
Master Song from the county seat sent two hundred taels of silver pattern!
…
The money given by these people ranged from a few dozen to a few hundred taels. Some of them were gifts returned when the Qin family didn't make a fortune in the past, and some were later business partners of Lao Qin.
Since ancient times, it has been such a human society. Lao Qin was also true, saying that the gift he gave out in the past was taken back once during the marriage.
When I was welcoming guests, I heard that there was a humane, brother, today is the marriage of Sanguan, congratulations, congratulations!
The visitor is Meiliu, the grandson of the second cousin of the old third uncle Qin. He is a relative who can't beat him. He is idle on weekdays and always eats and drinks with relatives and neighbors. Lao Qin is the most uncomfortable with such people. Every time he comes to my house, he is bombarded by Lao Qin.
Old Qin said what are you doing here.
Mei Liu said that you wouldn't let me come on weekdays. Anyhow, today is our nephew's birthday, so it's not appropriate for you to drive people out. Old Qin snorted coldly, then let's go in.
I said Sixth Uncle Mei, please invite you inside. Saying that Wu De would welcome him in, he was a family anyway, and it was not appropriate to tear his skin.
Mei Liu said that we shouldn't come empty-handed when my eldest nephew gets married, otherwise it would be a joke.
Mei Liu took out a rectangular object from his arms and wrapped it with kraft paper one layer after another. When he opened it, it turned out to be a washboard. Mei Liu said, Sanguan, let alone Sanshu doesn’t hurt you. It's my ancestral washboard, I can give it to you.
I was a little embarrassed and said: Come here, what other gifts are you bringing, besides, kneeling abacus is popular nowadays, okay? What about Wu De, Wu De, hurry up and take the sixth uncle Mei to the backyard. Yesterday’s Rhubarb ate the leftover food, warm up the sixth uncle, and then burn a pot of Sanlu for the sixth uncle. Don’t neglect the sixth uncle. !
Nearly a hundred tables of banquets were placed in the yard. At noon, I was going back to have a banquet. I saw a hundred or so people from far away, all of them were from the rivers and lakes.
Old Qin asked, do you know
My heart sank, I shook my head and said, Lao Qin, you go in first and close the door.
Liu Qingfeng saw it from a distance, and leaned over to say, these people are fierce, and the visitors are not good. I took out two axes from the porter, one for each person, and stopped at the door.
Someone sang: Liu Dajiang, the head of the Dahe Gang, on behalf of the thirty-six rudder brothers of the Yellow River, came to congratulate Qin Sanguan and Qin Biaotou!
Liu Hedong, the head of the Kongtong faction, and his wife came to congratulate Qin Shaoxia!
Zuo Leng, the head of Songshan Mountain, Jianzong of the Five Mountains, wished Qin Jiaoxi a happy wedding.
I thought to myself that I had nothing to do with these people on weekdays, so why did I show up here at this time, but not long after, I heard someone shouting:
Murong Baiyun, the lord of the world's martial arts, and the owner of Murong Villa, congratulates Qin Shaoxia!
After the First Battle on Putuo Island, Murong Baiyun's martial arts realm greatly increased. Today I saw him with a gloomy face, a trace of violence on his body, and a terrifying aura from all over his body.
My face is dignified and I look at him. Why are you here
Murong Baiyun sneered, this is your way of hospitality
I said I didn't treat you as a guest. If you just come to ask for a drink, I'm sorry, the Qin family does not provide this service.
Murong Baiyun said, I'll beg you for someone.
I said I would not accompany you!
Murong Baiyun laughed, and took a few steps forward, just about to push the door to enter, I cut with an axe, only to see the figure in front of me, Murong Baiyun has arrived in the inner courtyard.
During the banquet, they were all friends and folks, not people in the rivers and lakes. Murong Baiyun came to the front and said loudly: I am the leader of the martial arts, Murong Baiyun.
No one paid attention to him, drinking, punching, punching, and some people threw a drumstick at him to eat a drumstick, Murong Black Dog!
I rushed in, what do you want to do
Murong Baiyun sneered. Two years ago, at Murong Mountain Villa, you cut down my full mountain peach blossoms with a single sword, and Murong Mountain Villa’s reputation on the rivers and lakes plummeted. Today, I want your folks to know that the bride you married, She is the little witch who kills people without blinking.
I was furious in my heart and resisted, Murong Baiyun, the world is going on, even if you are the leader of the martial arts, doing so obviously violates the Fangshan Convention, right? What do you want to do
Murong Baiyun said, the little witch is a public enemy of martial arts, I want to take her away.
I cursed, dream of your mother's spring and autumn.
