Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 95 0090 [Dark Ritual]

Ju Ming played around in Shangbai Village for two days, paid 120 yuan in advance, and ordered a lot of food from the Bai family.

Next, it's Dad's wedding.

It was said that only a few tables were set up, and the villagers came to ask, and finally set up 36 tables.

Although it was not as rich as the old lady Bai's birthday, but he still had to get some wine and meat, so he had to ask Bai Zongwang for help.

Shen Yourong's parents, two elder brothers and sister-in-law all came to have a drink, and even sent gifts to the county magistrate.And it's quite generous, the gift to the county magistrate was [-] guan, and he even wrote a poem with Professor Qian alone.

The wedding ring was saved, and the silkworm house was turned into a wedding room.

You only need to take the bride out of the bedroom, and after the ceremony is completed, send it to the wedding room.

The surrounding villagers all came to watch the fun, and a bunch of people gathered in the courtyard, chatting, laughing and waiting for the auspicious time.

Bai Dalang was invited to be the master of ceremonies, he really liked this job, he specially changed into a silk dress, dressed more elegantly than the groom.

Standing beside his father, Zhu Ming asked with a smile, "Dean Zhu, are you nervous?"

"Why am I nervous?" Zhu Guoxiang's face was flushed, and he was also wearing red clothes, specially made from red cloth when he went to the city.

"The auspicious time has come!"

Master Bai shouted at the top of his voice.

There was blowing and beating in the yard, and the musicians were also villagers from nearby villages, and they were the accompaniment for weddings and weddings.

Hearing the music, Mrs. Yan helped her daughter-in-law out.

Shen Yourong was wearing a green wedding dress, which matched Dean Zhu's red dress.Male and female, traditional colors.

Zhu Guoxiang stepped forward to pull the bride, and walked slowly towards the main room.

At dusk, the couple pay their respects.

This is an etiquette that only emerged in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is not called worshiping the hall.The church visit is at five o'clock on the second day of the wedding, and the bride goes to visit the elders of the man's family.

"Prayer for the Bride!"

Under the crowd watching the ceremony, Bai Dalang let out a loud roar, and Shen Yourong bowed down to Zhu Guoxiang.

"The groom returns the gift!"

Zhu Guoxiang stood up with a smile, then cupped his hands and bowed down.

Throughout the process, the woman bows first, the man returns, and the woman returns.Then the woman bows again, the man returns the salute, and the woman returns the salute again.

Zhu Ming counted carefully, the bride had to bow four times, and the groom only bowed twice.It's obviously unfair, and it will be punched in future generations.

As for worshiping the heaven and the earth and the high hall, there is no such statement yet.

"Licheng, send it to the bridal chamber!"

Bridegroom and bride, go drink the wine.

The villagers also gradually dispersed, because there were no seats for 36 tables in the small courtyard, and there were several banquets in the whole village.

It was already six o'clock in the evening, the summer day was long, and it was still early before dark.

Zhu Ming found an excuse to go to the hut to smoke, puffing the clouds for a while, listening to the sound of punches in the yard, he suddenly felt that this world was not real.

Inexplicably time-traveling, my father married his stepmother.

A sense of loneliness arises spontaneously.

It's spiritual loneliness, and he doesn't seem to be fully integrated into the new life.Of course I don't think too much when I'm busy, but there are always times when I can't help feeling alienated.

Perhaps, when I have a wife and children, I can really settle down.

"Da Lang, come and drink!" Bai Chongwen stood in the corner of the courtyard and shouted towards the toilet.

"coming!"

When Zhu Ming returned to the courtyard, apart from Mrs. Yan, Shen Yourong's natal family, and Bai Zongwang and his son were at the main table.

Shen Yourong's father was named Shen Huai. Although the old man was dazzled and deaf, he could drink quite well: "Da Lang, you are a scholar of the Eight Elements. I should toast you a glass!"

"Don't dare to take it." It's just rice wine, and Ju Ming will not refuse anyone who comes.

Shen Huai was very happy about his daughter's remarriage, and he also liked this son-in-law and cheap grandson: "I read the poems written by Da Lang, and I was shocked to the heavens, as if Su Zi was born again... Today, let's not talk about anything else, Da Lang is drinking! "

Bai Zongwang echoed: "Lu Tixue also praised Dalang's article, and has recommended Dalang to go to Tokyo to study in Taixue."

Shen Huai laughed heartily: "Given some time, he will become an important minister!"

"Where, where." Ju Ming said modestly.

Bai Zongwang said flatteringly: "Mr. Zhu is also an extraordinary man. With this good son-in-law, brother Bo Zhong is just waiting to enjoy the blessing."

Old Mr. Shen was even happier when he heard it. He kept drinking and talked while holding Zhu Ming's hand from time to time, as if he regarded Zhu Ming as his own grandson.

After a few glasses of wine here, Lao Gu at the next table also came to toast with his son Gu Shusheng: "Zhu Dutou, thank you for taking care of the dog, I would like to offer you a glass here!"

"It's easy to say." Ju Ming gulped it down.

Gu Shusheng said: "I, Gu San, also offer a toast to Dudu!"

Toasted one after another, Zhu Ming got a little dizzy from drinking, and looked up at the sky in a daze.

The sky was still white, the moon had risen, and there was a star beside it.

After drinking for a while, Zhu Guoxiang suddenly came out to entertain the guests.

Everyone froze for a moment, then became more lively, immediately changed their target, and caught Zhu Guoxiang drinking.

Zhu Ming was finally able to take a break.

After a toast in his own yard, Zhu Guoxiang went to another yard.Back and forth, it was almost dark, and Zhu Ming had to help light the way with lanterns.

"Dean Zhu, if you drink like this, I'm afraid you won't have the strength tonight." Zhu Ming teased, he had already sobered up quite a bit.

Zhu Guoxiang was slightly drunk, and said with a smile: "I'm happy today."

Zhu Ming ran the train with his mouth full: "I will get you a concubine another day, and I guarantee you will be happier."

Zhu Guoxiang said: "One wife is enough, what kind of concubine?"

"It's a pity." Zhu Ming sighed.

"What a pity?" Zhu Guoxiang asked.

Ju Ming teased, "It's a pity that my phone is out of battery, so I can't record your words, and I'll take them out to slap you in the face when you get a concubine."

"Fuck off!"

Zhu Guoxiang kicked him away, how could he say this on his wedding day.

"Okay." Zhu Ming immediately rolled away.

But Zhu Guoxiang yelled again: "Come back and help guide the way, I'm afraid I'll fall if I drink too much!"

Ju Ming staggered, standing in front of him with a hippie smile: "Come here, I'll wait."

Zhu Guoxiang entered the role of an old father again, hooked shoulders with his son, and said earnestly: "It's time for you to start a family and start a business. Bai Zongwang originally wanted to be a matchmaker for you, but then he gave up. He thinks that you have great ambitions, so you must despise the girls in the village. Or , Let Xiangzhi County help you match up and marry a wealthy daughter in the county?"

Zhu Ming was so awesome, he patted his chest and said: "Travel through a journey, if we want to marry, we will marry the princess!"

"Just brag." Zhu Guoxiang said cheerfully.

After eight o'clock in the evening, the banquet finally dispersed, and the guests helped to clean up the tables, stools, dishes and chopsticks.

Zhu Guoxiang was so drunk that he passed out, and was thrown by his son into the bridal chamber to lie dead.

As for Shen Yourong's natal family, there is really no place to sleep here, so they can only borrow the guest room of the old white member's family.

"Thank you Dalang."

Looking at her husband who was soundly asleep, Shen Yourong was really speechless.

Zhu Ming smiled and said, "It's not hard, you guys should rest first."

Shen Yourongli sent him out of the house, while Zhu Ming sat in the yard, blowing the night breeze and watching the stars sober up.

Bai Qi suddenly ran out, knelt down and looked at the stars together, looking a little lonely: "Brother Zhu, I heard from my grandmother that if your father married my mother, your father will be my father, and they will have a younger brother."

Zhu Ming laughed: "Isn't it good to have a younger brother? Let me tell you, a two- or three-year-old child is the most fun. You can make him cry after making him laugh."

"Why should I make my brother cry?" Bai Qi asked puzzled.

"Just kidding." Zhu Ming said.

Bai Qi scratched his head: "But grandma said, I should protect my brother."

Alas, there is no common language.

"vomit……"

There was a sound of vomiting in the wedding room, and then Shen Yourong ran to the kitchen to fetch water, it seemed that he didn't want to listen to the corner tonight.

Zhu Ming asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Bai Qi replied without hesitation: "Study hard, take the imperial examination and become an official."

"I have no ambition, I will make you a prince in the future." Zhu Ming said indiscriminately.

Bai Qi tilted his head and asked, "What is a prince?"

Zhu Ming didn't bother to explain: "You will know when you grow up."

After chattering for a while, Bai Qi said again: "I used to sleep with my mother, but tonight my mother is not here, so I will sleep with Brother Zhu."

"Did you wet the bed?" Zhu Ming was vigilant.

Bai Qi said: "I stopped peeing last year."

"Okay, big brother will take you to bed!" Zhu Ming smiled and picked up the little boy with one hand.

Undressing and going to bed, Bai Qi didn't sleep with his mother for the first time, and he seemed more excited.

After lying down, he didn't honestly close his eyes, and leaned beside Zhu Ming and said, "Brother, let's talk about Monkey King again. I haven't listened to your story for a long time."

"Okay, let's talk about three dozen bone spirits today."

Listening to the story, Bai Qi was very happy and hugged Zhu Ming's arm to sleep.

Both the grandmother and mother were strict in discipline, and Zhu Guoxiang occasionally reprimanded him, but this eldest brother never scolded others and told many nice stories.

After a while, Bai Qi fell asleep.

However, Zhu Ming couldn't sleep. Whenever he felt lonely, he would think about how to rebel in the future.

Xixiang County must be taken first.

When will you have to go to Huangjinxia to see for yourself, I heard that the waterway of the Han River there is the most dangerous.In the future, troops will be dispatched from Xixiang County, passing through Huangjin Gorge, heading north by boat, and taking Yangzhou.

He asked Zhang Guangdao about the situation, and starting from Yangzhou to the west is Xingyuan Mansion (Hanzhong).

If you go northeast from Yangzhou, you will find the famous Ziwu Valley, which can lead directly to Chang'an!
After controlling Xingyuan Mansion, Lizhou (Guangyuan) must be taken.

If you win Lizhou, you will be able to control Echuanzhong, and he will block more than half of the main roads out of Sichuan.

The east side of Xixiang County must also be shot down.Shiquan, Hanyin, and Jinzhou (Ankang), if you win Jinzhou, you can control the Ehan River waterway.

When the time comes, should we attack Chang'an first or Chengdu first?
Thinking about it, I fell asleep.

"Brother, get up soon!"

Zhu Ming opened his eyes in a daze, and found that Bai Qi had already put on his clothes. He yawned and said, "Don't make trouble, go and play by yourself."

After dawdling for a long time, when Zhu Ming went out to wash up, the Shen family had already come from the old white member's house.

Shen Yourong was busy busy, the smile on her face never faded, completely entering the state of a newlywed wife.

Breakfast was the leftovers from last night, after eating some whole, Zhu Ming said goodbye and went back to the village.

He had to write "Journey to the West" and send it to Fatty Zheng, after all, he still wanted to prostitute three weapons for nothing.If you can't get the money, you can use the novel to offset the debt.

In addition, the autumn harvest is coming soon, so I have to keep an eye on it in Daming Village.

Zhu Guoxiang sent his son to the riverside: "Be careful there, don't make any more troubles when collecting grain."

"Don't worry, my taxes are not high," Zhu Ming said. "After the autumn harvest, you go to the stockade to guard for a few days. I plan to walk around and get familiar with the surrounding geography. Now I only know the general idea, and pay attention to the details." It will take a year or two to fully grasp the geographical terrain of the Hanzhong Basin once it is blacked out."

Zhu Guoxiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are really planning to prepare for the rebellion."

Zhu Ming said: "I don't like the Song Dynasty, and I don't like the Jin Dynasty either. It will be fun if they are all wiped out."

Zhu Guoxiang patted his son on the shoulder and said nothing.
