high official

Chapter 227

Although the time was short and the wedding was simple, there were definitely a lot of guests.Officials from Fuyang County, scholars from Hangzhou City, relatives from Wangjia Village, and Wang Xingye's colleagues in the government office, more than 300 people came to the wedding, and [-] banquet tables were set up.The Wang family didn't have enough space, so they had to borrow a neighbor's house to open it.

Surprisingly, Zhou Nietai and Xu Tixue also took the time to come, which really added a lot of glory to the wedding.However, the two senior officials also knew that they were influencing the atmosphere. The newcomers bowed to heaven and earth, took their leave after toasting, so that the guests could enjoy themselves.

When it was dark and full of wine and food, the older guests also left and left, but the younger guests, no matter scholars, subordinates or warriors like Zhou Yong, stayed and happily proceeded to the next item-making a bridal chamber!This is an indispensable part of the wedding, and it can even be regarded as the climax of the wedding.

The guests who make trouble in the bridal chamber gather in the new house to play tricks on the new couple. There are no taboos in the play.Of course, it is not blindly fooling around, but under the leadership of several Wufu women, it is carried out in the way of throwing a wedding bed.

I saw the bride and groom sitting on the wedding bed, and the women of Wufu held a large plate in their hands. The plate was covered with red paper. On the red paper were "good luck" such as dates, chestnuts, peanuts, and longan. , Singing and singing...

Wang Xian and his second aunt sprinkled a handful of longan, and sang with a smile: "Scatter a handful of fruit on the bed, and the married couple will have more children."

Zhao Xiancheng and his wife sprinkled a handful of jujubes, and sang with a smile: "Scatter a handful of jujubes on the bed, and the couple will live in harmony for a hundred years."

Wang Xian and his sixth aunt sprinkled a few pears, and sang with a smile: "Scatter a few pears on the bed, and the husband and wife respect each other!"

Then all the women sprinkled candies all over the room and sang together: "Scatter a handful of fruit into the sky, and the fairy from the nine heavens will descend to the earth. I asked the fairy where to go? Congratulations on your marriage. A handful of fruit is scattered on the ground, and the land is smiling. I Ask the land what are you laughing at? Qilin sent a child to the mansion!" So not just anyone can be a bed-spreading woman, she has to be quick-witted, able to memorize long words, and even have the ability to adapt to changing situations.

Nao's bridal chamber heard this patiently, and finally couldn't help making noises: "Change to another, change to an exciting one!"

Amidst the booing, the sisters-in-law laughed and changed their words: "Scatter a handful of fruit in the bridal chamber, the layout of the bridal chamber is really ostentatious! Boxes are paired and cabinets are doubled. The two of you will sleep peacefully in Hei. One pillow and two rams! Two handfuls of fruit are scattered on the gum bed , red brocade quilt spread on the bed. Pairs of velvet pillows, mandarin ducks lie down every night. The flowers are perfect, the moon is full and the newlyweds are beautiful, and a hundred birds come to court the phoenix!"

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Knowing that a good show is coming, all the guests, no matter they are scholars or fast catchers, can't wait to urge them.

"Good, good..." The sisters-in-law's laughter changed, and they sang again: "Three handfuls of fruit were sprinkled on the head, and the bride's head was rubbed with sweet-scented osmanthus oil. Do you believe this?"

"Believe it or not!" Everyone shook their heads together.

"If you don't believe what I say, just ask the groom to smell it!" the sisters-in-law sang with a smile.

"Smell it, smell it!" Everyone booed to the groom together: "If you don't smell it, let's do it!"

"That's for me to smell it myself!" Wang Xian hurriedly replied, then leaned close to the bride's head and took a deep sniff, and said to everyone: "It's true after smelling it. The bees come to gather pollen too!"

It was just the beginning when the sisters-in-law sprinkled dates on the bride's hijab and sang: "Scatter the four fruits on the face, and the bride's face is like a white jade plate. Cherries with small mouths and willow-leaf eyebrows are as beautiful as Diaochan! Do you believe this? !"

"Believe it or not!" Everyone laughed and shook their heads together.

"You don't believe what I say, please raise your face and let everyone see!" the sisters-in-law sang with a smile.

"Take a look, take a look!" Everyone booed at the bride: "If you don't show it, let's see it for ourselves!"

Lin Qing'er, who was dressed in a scarf and wearing a phoenix crown, had no choice but to lift up her hijab in shame, revealing her picturesque pink face to everyone, which naturally aroused excited cheers.

"Sprinkle five handfuls of fruit into your hands, and the bride's fingers are as tender as lotus roots. You don't need to ask for help in painting flowers and embroidering flowers, and you are first-class in literature and martial arts." The sisters-in-law continued to sing: "Some people say she is a drag, some people say she is six-fingered. In the end What does it look like? Ask the groom to pick up the bride's hand and have a look!"

"Pick it up and have a look!" The crowd booed more and more excitedly: "Otherwise we will pick it up and have a look!"

"I'll get it, I'll take a look, my daughter-in-law can't touch anyone!" Wang Xian hurriedly picked up Sister Lin's slender hand, pretended to watch it, and then changed the other one amidst the booing of the crowd. Hui reported: "Ten fingers are as slender as jade onions, and there must be a good female star!"

"Six handfuls of fruit are sprinkled around the waist, and the bride has a big civet cat hidden in her waist. Everyone said they were happy, but I said it was the waist of cotton trousers. Do you believe this?"

"Believe it or not!" The words were getting more and more extreme, but the mood of the bridal chamber was getting higher and higher.

"Everyone doesn't believe this, so please ask the groom to reach out and touch it!"

"Quickly reach out and touch it, or we can touch it ourselves!" The booing sound can overturn the roof, and some big girls and little girls who are making trouble in the house have their faces flushed red, thinking that when they get married, they will also be punished by this like teasing?My heart was full of nervousness and anticipation, and I couldn't help being crazy.

Wang Xian had no choice but to put his arms around Sister Lin's slender waist in public, and said to everyone: "Sister-in-law's eyes are really clumsy, and the bride's slender waist is like a beam. The red stalks reflect the frosty forest surface, and the willow dances with a graceful waist." He was so ashamed. Lin Qing'er wished she could get into the cracks in the ground, but she was overjoyed in her heart.

Amidst the applause from the crowd, the sisters-in-law continued to sing: "Seven berries are sprinkled on the feet, and the bride walks crookedly. I think it's because of the uneven road. Everyone insists that it's a half leg. Whether it's true or not, how many times does the bride walk?" step."

Amidst the booing, Lin Qing'er had no choice but to go to the ground slowly, taking two steps on the walnuts and longan all over the ground.However, from the moment she was sent into the bridal chamber to this moment, her legs were already numb from sitting, and she almost fell when she stood up. Wang Xian hurriedly supported her, causing everyone to laugh.

When the bride sat down again, the sisters-in-law continued to sing: "Eight handfuls of fruit are sprinkled on the feet, and the bride's feet are more than three feet long. Everyone praises her as the champion of feet, and the world is better than big feet. If I say this, you don't believe it. If you don't believe the bridegroom, go make an appointment." !"

"Make an appointment, make an appointment, or we will make an appointment ourselves!"

Wang Xian is so sweaty, the troubles in the bridal chamber in the Ming Dynasty are no less than hundreds of years later. At the beginning, he tossed the bridegroom and officials, and now all the karma has come back.I had no choice but to bend down and hold up Lin Qing'er's little foot wearing a red embroidered shoe... Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty was only established for less than 40 years, the legacy of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties still existed, Cheng and Zhu Neo Confucianism were not yet flourishing, and girls from wealthy families did not yet have the habit of footbinding.However, Lin Qing'er's feet were naturally slender and small. Wang Xian held them in his hands and pretended to measure them, that is, a little more.Then quickly put it down, covered it with a skirt, and said to a group of staring guests:

"It's a good appointment, the little feet are only more than three inches. Walking is like a willow in the wind, and the burden is like a big camel..." Everyone laughed.

"Nine handfuls of fruit to the newcomers, the two newcomers are really gentle. The male is like Yang Zongbao, and the female is like Mu Guiying. Since the Qin and Jin Dynasties were married today, the two of them will go to break the heavenly formation!" At the end, the sisters-in-law sang in unison: "The few handfuls of fruit have been sprinkled, and the guests still think it's too short. But the spring night is short, the groom has already ordered the soldiers, and the bride hastened to make the bed. After the bed is done, we will leave the battlefield." !"

It turns out that on the marriage bed, a flower mat is spread upside down. If the bride wants to make the bed, she has to turn it over.If the bride doesn't turn over the mat, the troublemaker won't leave, forcing the bride to turn around in front of them.When Lin Qing'er finally turned over the mat, the troublemaker at the side took the opportunity to ask, "Have you turned it over?"

The bride was naturally ashamed to answer, but the troublemaker chased after her until Lin Qing'er blushed and said, "It's over!"

"The bride is turned over, what is the groom waiting for?" The troublemaker just laughed strangely and rushed away.

Amidst the roar of laughter, all the guests left, leaving only a couple of newlyweds in the bridal chamber.

On the night of candles and candles in the bridal chamber, the two people looked at each other in dismay, and it took a while to recover from the turmoil in the room. Wang Xian held Sister Lin's little hand, and the two looked at each other with a smile. It was very sweet, and there was no blind marriage. The excitement and tension, but a little more harmonious, the phoenix sings in harmony, and the warmth and love in it are incomparable to those couples who meet by chance.

It's just familiarity, but neither of them dare to speak, why?Because the eavesdroppers outside the house are eavesdropping on the wall, waiting to hear the newcomer make a noise, and if they get a word or a half, they must publicize it so that it will be known to all neighbors and last for a long time.But there is no sound at all, which is also unlucky. If it is a wedding night in the bridal chamber, it will be a joke if you are scared by the listener and dare not move all night.However, there is another rule of listening to the room, that is, you can't make a sound. If the outsiders are attracted by the people inside, even if the listening room fails, they will naturally run away.

After a while, the people under the wall heard rustling sounds from the bridal chamber, and all looked at each other and smiled, saying that the young couple finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to take off their clothes, the show was about to begin!

Sure enough, after a while, I heard the bridegroom officer in the room shouting "Happy, very happy!" ', frequently called 'Sweet, never so refreshing! ', 'Usually when I do it by myself, it feels much worse! ', from time to time, he told the bride to point up and point down, which made everyone snicker.

Just when he was feeling his heart burning and excited, he suddenly heard the bridegroom officer sigh and say: "Scratching the back with human hands is much more comfortable than scratching with itch!"

The people listening to the wall outside immediately petrified... They were scratching, scratching, scratching...

After finally picking up the messy heart and liver in the wind, and listening for a long time, people heard the bride whisper softly this time: "Take it easy, it hurts, it hurts..."

The people at the bottom of the wall became excited again, thinking that there was no mistake this time, and the main show finally started!
　Today is really a tragic day, the car has no power, it was scratched, the wind was blowing, and my face was scratched... Please comfort, please comfort...
