Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 60 The Big Wedding
Sun Hao and Liu Lei, as guests, followed Yuan Wenshao.

Yuan Wenshao noticed Sun Hao's weird eyes, glared at him, and said angrily, "Laugh if you want to."

Sun Hao smiled and said: "No, I just think you look handsome with a flower."

Yuan Wenshao: "..."

Dazhou will arrange flowers on his head when he gets married, and this thing is not easy to insert.

In Zhongju, only the top three can intervene when they are parading in the street, and when they get married, only wealthy families can intervene.

In Madam Yuan's words, this is all decent, and it must be inserted.

Although Yuan Wenshao felt awkward, he could only do as the Romans did.

"Laugh, and see how I make fun of you when you get married." Yuan Wenshao said angrily.

"Uh~"

Mentioning this, Sun Hao couldn't laugh anymore.

A few days ago, Duke Dingguo sent a letter saying that he had arranged a marriage for him.

Marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, so it is decided, but when he knows the candidate for his future wife, Sun Hao is not calm.

The one Dingguo Gong decided for him was the eldest daughter of the Liu family in the northwest.

The ancestors of the Liu family were originally military generals when they first founded the country, but they were later changed to civilian positions. Until now, generations of the family have been officials.

Although it is not considered a famous family, it is also called the hairpin tassel of the previous generation.

Because of the origin of the military generals of the ancestors, the Liu family did not look down on military generals like those literati.

From the perspective of family background, the Liu family is also a good family.

However, there is one thing about the Liu family that is very well-known throughout the Great Zhou, and that is that the daughters of the Liu family have relatively strong personalities.

After other women get married, they talk about the three obediences and four virtues, but the women of the Liu family are really good husbands and children.

If the husband fails to live up to his expectations, they can even discipline him.

If the husband is really muddy and can't support the wall, he will even offer to reconcile.

It stands to reason that the women of the Liu family are so powerful that most people would not choose to marry the Liu family.

However, apart from this point, the daughter of the Liu family has nothing to say about other aspects, and who doesn't have a few incompetent descendants?

If you can't take care of yourself, find a wife who can take care of you.

In this way, the daughter of the Liu family became the most popular one.

Yuan Wenshao estimated that Sun Qi found Sun Hao to be too unrestrained, so he found him a wife from the Liu family.

"Haha, Haha, don't be depressed. I heard from my wife that the eldest daughter of the Liu family is very good-looking, and you will be worth it." Liu Lei laughed.

Talking and laughing all the way, the wedding team left Bianjing City and arrived at a post station not far from the pier.

The Sheng family had booked this inn a long time ago, and stayed here after the bride-to-be fleet arrived in Bianjing yesterday.

Because it was a send-off, not many relatives came, so Yuan Wenshao didn't suffer much, but according to the custom, he made a makeup poem, and the bride was recited by Sheng Changbai.

This was also the first time Yuan Wenshao met his brother-in-law. How should I put it, he was just like in the play, young and mature, serious in speech.

As for Sheng Hualan, because she covered her face with a round fan, she couldn't see her face clearly.

After the bride is pampered, the welcoming team and the Sheng family's wedding team carry the dowry and follow behind.

The team stretching for more than ten miles was very spectacular and became a topic of conversation among the people in Bianjing.

When I came back from the wedding, I couldn't take the same route. For the sake of celebration, I even took a long detour.

By the time we arrived at Earl Zhongyong's Mansion, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Wedding ceremony is also called evening ceremony. The ancients believed that at dusk, when black and white alternate, it is the time when yin and yang intersect. Therefore, the wedding ceremony is always at dusk.

Yuan Wenshao came to Jiaobian, and after Sheng Hualan came out, the two of them held red silk ribbons and entered the mansion with the support of everyone.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Bye husband and wife!"

In the festively decorated main hall, Yuan Wenshao and Sheng Hualan worshiped under the auspices of Bin Yi.

After the ceremony, tea was served to Yuan Weichang and Mrs. Yuan. After some instructions, the couple was sent to the bridal chamber.

Of course, now is not the time for the wedding, the two of them have other rituals to complete.

In the new house, the matchmaker cut off a section of their hair, braided it together, and put it in a box.

This is the so-called married wife.

After completing the hair tie etiquette, the wedding is considered complete.

Yuan Wenshao needed to entertain guests, and when he left, he gave Xiaohuan an order.

In the new house, all the guests went out to eat, and only Zhou's mother, Cuichan, and Caizan were left to accompany Sheng Hualan.

"Girl, this Earl's Mansion is really big. The two big stone lions standing at the door are so majestic." Caihan said.

Sheng Hualan has a total of four maids in the Sheng family, two serving as personal servants and two taking care of chores.

The two maidservants who served close to her were not too young, and they had their life contracts returned before they got married.

The current two maids, the colorful hairpin was arranged by Mrs. Wang, and the Cuichan was given by the old lady.

"I'm going to call you eldest lady from now on. If others hear it, they will think that our Sheng family is coming here unruly." Zhou's mother glared at Caiban.

"What Mother Zhou taught me is that I know I was wrong." Caihan admitted her mistake, but she disagreed in her heart.

She is a daughter of the Sheng family, and Mrs. Wang arranged for her to come as a dowry and serve as a maidservant.

The so-called housemaids were those who served Yuan Wenshao on Hualan's behalf when Hualan had menstruation or when it was inconvenient to be pregnant.

This kind of thing was very common in ancient times. In order to prevent a man from going to another concubine's room when it is inconvenient for him to serve, he would usually let a personal servant girl take his place.

Caizan thinks that she will be able to conceive an heir in the future and raise a concubine, so she doesn't take Zhou's mother seriously.

When Zhou's mother saw Caihan admitting her mistake, she didn't say much. Instead, she looked at Hualan and asked, "Madam, are you hungry? I'll ask the servants to bring you some food. My uncle has to accompany the guests for a while. Will you come over?"

Sheng Hualan ate something before putting on her makeup in the morning, but she didn't dare to eat more. She didn't even dare to take a sip of water, for fear of being embarrassed on the way.

After a day of hard work, I am naturally hungry.

But she was worried that her request for food would spread to Yuan Wenshao and his parents, leaving a bad impression, so she shook her head and said, "Mother Zhou, I'm not hungry, so don't bother."

Zhou's mother thought Sheng Hualan was nervous, and comforted her, "You don't have to be nervous, you just need to follow what those picture books and the old mother said."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Hualan's ears turned red when she thought of the embarrassing words her mother had brought and the embarrassing things she said a few days before departure, and the blushing picture albums she showed her.

She said shyly, "Mother Zhou, why are you talking about this?"

Zhou's mother saw that Sheng Hualan was embarrassed, she slapped her mouth lightly twice, and said, "It's the old lady who is talking too much, so don't blame the old lady."

At this moment, a servant girl came in, said a blessing, and said: "Madam, when the master just left, he told the servants to make some food in the kitchen. The kitchen has already sent it, should you send it directly? ?”

Sheng Hualan felt warm when she heard the words, and said: "Since the officials ordered it, then send it in. Thank you for your hard work, and Mother Zhou will appreciate it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother took out two taels of silver and handed it to Xiaohuan.

"Thank you ma'am." Xiaohuan took the money, saluted and left.

"Mistress, it seems that my uncle is a loving person, and you will be blessed in the future, Madam Zhou." Mother Zhou laughed.

Whether servants like them who are married as dowry have high status or dignity depends on Sheng Hualan's status in the mansion.

The more Yuan Wenshao paid attention to Sheng Hualan, the higher their status in the mansion would be.

A smile appeared on the corner of Sheng Hualan's mouth upon hearing this.
