My son A Fei has the appearance of a sword master

Chapter 76 Bridal Wedding Customs
After Shenshi, even Tang Xin, the magistrate of Fenyang, and friends from Fenyang Qianhu Office arrived, so there were basically no guests at all, and there was no need for Li Tianxin to welcome guests.

So he left a few servants behind just in case, and returned to the hall with Shen Lang and others to help greet the guests.

Time passed slowly, and gradually came to dusk at the third quarter of the hour. All parties were well prepared, and the ceremony leader sang loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived, the bride and groom worship heaven and earth."

As soon as the voice fell, the drum music started.

Amid the festive suona sounds played by the musicians, Bai Feifei, dressed in a phoenix crown and a red hijab, was helped out by her companion.

Zhu Fugui sat down in the high hall with a glowing face. Li Tianxin stood in the center of the hall, watching Bai Feifei walk to his side with a smile.

Ruyi Huancui handed the concentric knot made of red silk into the hands of Li Tianxin and Bai Feifei. They each held one end, and the concentric knot hung between them.

The music stopped and the whole place was silent. Li Shengti sang: "Bow down to heaven and earth."

Li Tianxin and Bai Feifei bowed towards the outside of the hall.

"Two thanks to the high hall."

The two of them turned around and bowed deeply to Zhu Fugui, who was stroking his beard and smiling.

"Happy husband and wife."

The two of them turned sideways and bowed to each other.

"Send to the bridal chamber."

Li Tianxin held Bai Feifei's hand in a concentric knot, and, surrounded by the four maids Ruyi Huancui and Chun Xia Qiu Dong, headed to the new house.

A group of young people, as well as some children of old servants of the Zhu Mansion, also rushed to the new house.

They went to join in the fun, because there are still some wedding customs when entering the bridal chamber, and they wanted to experience it and learn some experience for themselves in the future when they get married.

After the young people left, the butler Li Zhong began to arrange the servants and put the dishes on the table in preparation for the banquet.

The table used in Zhu's Mansion is not a square table like before, but a large round table with separate legs and tabletop.

The table legs are of a cross-folding type, which does not take up much space when put away. When needed, the table legs can be unfolded and the table top can be raised to make it work together.

The table top is double-layered and the upper layer can be rotated so that you can eat all the dishes without having to stand up.

When Li Tianxin made this table, even Zhu Fugui was amazed by his fantastic idea.

On the other side, after arriving at Li Tianxin's yard and entering the main room, Zhu Qiqi led Yang Yan and rushed directly to the bedroom, giggling and plopped on the wedding bed.

As a result, they discovered that there was another little boy who also threw himself on the bed like them.

Zhu Qiqi said in shock: "Whose family are you from? Why did you come to the wedding bed?"

Li Xunhuan said with a smile: "Are you Sister Qiqi? My name is Li Xunhuan, and I am the cousin of Brother Tianxin. Of course, I have to ask my sister-in-law for money to share the bed."

Zhu Qiqi suddenly said: "Oh, you are Li Shangshu's son."

"Exactly."

While he was talking, he saw Li Wenliu also coming over, sitting down beside the wedding bed, and Shi Shiran lay down against the bedside.

Li Xunhuan smiled at Zhu Qiqi and said, "This is my brother."

After knowing that they were the young masters of the Li family, Zhu Qiqi stopped talking. He turned over and supported his cheeks with his hands, lying on his side on the bed and said with a smile to Bai Feifei who came in later: "Feifei, you can figure it out yourself. "

Li Tianxin said in a funny tone: "You guys have never slept in the same bed as me, how do you want to share a bed?"

Li Wen and Liu Yiran said complacently: "That said, among the relatives of the same generation, you are the only brothers and sisters. If we don't come to ask for the money for sharing a bed, no one will be qualified to ask for it."

Li Tianxin laughed and said: "It makes sense, but I am speechless."

The guests who came followed him burst into laughter, watching this scene with great interest.

Yang Yan's small body was lying on the bed, holding her face in her hands and looking at Li Tianxin, her short legs bent back and touching lightly behind her.She smiled and said to Li Tianxin: "Brother Tianxin, after you get married, you will only hug your sister-in-law, not Yan'er."

"Sister-in-law occupies my brother's arms, and Yan'er occupies her wedding bed. Yan'er won't get up without giving her a red envelope."

"Hahaha……"

The room suddenly burst into laughter, and even Bai Feifei's shoulders were trembling slightly with joy.

This smart, pretty, cute little girl is so rare.

The so-called bed money is a custom in Ming Dynasty weddings. When a man marries a wife, his brothers and sisters can occupy the wedding bed and prevent the bride from getting into the bed.

In this case, the bride has to give red envelopes. If she doesn't give them, she doesn't have to get up.

The implication is that this man was our brother who slept in the same bed since childhood, but from now on he wants to form a separate family with you.

The bed that originally belonged to us has been occupied by you since then. We can no longer sleep on it, so you have to give us a red envelope to comfort us.

It's not an exact description, but that's probably what it means.

Fortunately, before this happened, the bride-in-law, the so-called "Xi Niang", had already informed Bai Feifei and the girls that Ruyi Huancui had already prepared red envelopes.

At that moment, Ruyi came forward with red envelopes and stuffed one into each person's hand. Then the four of them got up and made way for the wedding bed.

If they are brothers and sisters, they can also play tricks on their sister-in-law or younger siblings, and refuse to get up because they think the red envelopes are too few.

But Zhu Qiqi and others mainly wanted to join in the fun to make Li Tianxin's wedding more successful, so it was enough to give them what they meant, not how much they had to give.

Of course, Li Tianxin would not be stingy when he made a move. The red envelopes were all blue tickets, twelve taels each, which would cost several thousand dollars in future generations.

After the brothers and sisters separate beds, there is also a "rolling on the bed" session.

It is to let two five or six-year-old boys with the same zodiac signs as Li Tianxin and Bai Feifei as the happy children to roll around on the bed. This is a blessing for the bride to have a son soon.

Just listen to Xi Niang shouting loudly: "Get on the bed, get off the bed, one scholar will be the number one scholar every year, please invite the Xi child."

The two boys with red lips and white teeth were immediately thrown onto the bed by their father happily.

Xi Niang then yelled: "The boy is rolling on the bed, the joy is spreading in all directions. If you come to ask for a precious son, you will definitely be a good man. He will honor his parents first, honor his ancestors and make his ancestors strong. The groom can't wait. The bride has sugar in her mouth. A spring night is worth a thousand gold, and she will have sweet dreams in the future." "

While Xi Niang shouted, the two boys, who had already been told, rolled from the head of the bed to the end of the bed, and then from the bed to the head of the bed, back and forth three times.

After the bed rolling, Ruyi gave each of the two children a red envelope, and their father took the children away.

Finally, Xi Niang carried a plate with red dates, chestnuts and copper coins, and threw it on the bed while shouting: "Throw a date, get a little one, throw a chestnut, get a nanny, a handful of chestnuts, a handful of dates, The older one leads the younger one to run, a handful of chestnuts and a handful of money, and the older one leads the younger one to play."

At this point, the wedding customs of entering the bridal chamber were completed. After Ruyi stuffed Xi Niang a red envelope, Bai Feifei could finally sit down on the bed.

The guests watched with great interest and interest. When Xi Niang announced that everyone could go out to drink the wedding wine, they left the new house and went out.

Li Tianxin leaned into Bai Feifei's ear and whispered softly: "Feifei, I'm going to accompany the guests first. If you're hungry, ask Ruyi and the others to bring you something to eat. If you don't eat well now, you won't have the energy to consummate the marriage at night."

When Bai Feifei heard this, he immediately lowered his head, raised his small fist and lightly hammered his arm.

Although her face was covered by a hijab and Li Tianxin couldn't see it, he could imagine that she must be extremely shy at this time.

"Haha, Tianxin, you two will have plenty of time to talk about what you want to say later. Now go drink."

When Li Tianxin stood up with a smile, Panda'er hooked his arm, took Li Tianxin's shoulders and walked out.

Li Tianxin only had time to shout to Ruyi and the girls: "Take good care of the young lady, I'll be back as soon as I can."

Huancui laughed and said, "I know, uncle, don't get drunk."

"Don't worry, it's fine."
