Chapter 226 Marriage (2)
After the dowry reminder, the Huo family quickly brought the dowry over. It was lively with gongs and drums beating all the way. A total of 99 sets of dowry were placed in the front yard one by one, and the whole yard was fully placed for people to watch. Carved bed, dressing table, Eight Immortals table, three cases, large wardrobe and other large pieces of furniture, as well as boxes of clothes and shoes for the four seasons, gold and silver jewelry, silk, satin, silk and fur, piano and chess equipment, antique calligraphy and paintings, even quilts Pillows, dishes, bowls, whisks, brooms, etc. are all complete.

Passing by the front yard, all the people in Ning's mansion praised the young lady for her generous dowry, she was worthy of being the young lady of the prime minister's mansion.

Because she had to put her makeup on, she put it in the yard, her eyes were full of golden light, and Ning Yuyao was dizzy from seeing so much.

Sitting on the chair, Hui Niang pursed her lips and laughed straight: "Little money fan, what is there to envy, you will really marry the prince in the future, and your mother will not buy you a dowry in the future, at least you will have to add twenty or thirty. Carry the dowry."

Mother Wei also smiled and explained Ning Yuyao's confusion: "Sister should also know that being a daughter-in-law is not as comfortable as being in a boudoir. If the dowry is rich, she can straighten her back, because she can eat, drink, chew, and use. It’s using your own money, which is no better than receiving your husband’s. But this richness is not just for appearance. Some mistresses in Beijing hate concubine daughters and don’t want to bear a bad reputation, so they prepare some expensive furniture and jewelry for concubine daughters. Zhuangzi The shops all pick up the ones that are not profitable, and they don’t give the money at the bottom of the box. You will know when you get married. You must not be a big piece of furniture. Living on a monthly basis is tight, so I don’t feel a lot of idleness, but it’s different for a young lady who is loved by her family.”

Ning Yuyao nodded, no matter where she is, only with money in hand can she be confident.

When it was the right day, Ning Yuji got up early to freshen up, put on a full set of official uniforms, and the whole family got busy.

In the wedding shed in the front yard, the servants were busy setting up tables and chairs, placing fruit snacks, and carrying out bottles of good wine from the cellar.

Hui Niang asked her little nephew to play gongs on the kang, and then there was a drummer "Xiang Fang" who was going to welcome the bride, and then the "Long Life Lantern" was lit, and then she and a wife specially invited to be "Ms. Quan Fu", The kang was laid out, and four dried fruits such as longan, jujube, chestnut and groundnut were stuffed into the corner of the quilt.Among them, longan means reunion, Zaoer means giving birth to a son early, chestnut means giving birth to a precious son early, and peanut means giving birth to children and having both children.

As soon as the time came, Ning Yuji took the deacons such as gongs, drums and trumpets, set up the horn lamp, set up the guard of honor, and went to the prime minister's mansion with drums and music.

Near noon, the bride's sedan chair came back to Ning Mansion. As soon as the porter saw the guard of honor, he closed the gate, and waited for the bride's family to see off the relatives. Officials and guests knocked on the door. Just after opening, a bearer removed the sedan chair pole and carried The sedan chair entered the gate, and after passing the brazier, another person carried it to the small courtyard next to it for a rest, waiting for the auspicious time to get off the sedan chair.

Huo Hanyan sat quietly in the bridal sedan chair with her hijab covered, she felt that there was a bright red scene in front of her eyes, and she felt that there seemed to be someone else in the car, presumably it must be a boy and girl pressing the sedan chair, right?I don't know who they are?

After the carriage wobbled for a quarter of an hour, Huo Hanyan heard the sound of crackling firecrackers outside, and the carriage stopped.After a while, the curtain in front of the car was lifted, "Miss, get out of the car."

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, everyone carried the sedan chair to the front of the Rongqing Hall. The deacons, such as gongs, drums and trumpets, played joyfully. Two servants had already spread red silk in front of the sedan chair and led them all the way to the hall. Take off the carved saddle and put it not far in front of the sedan chair.Then Ning Yuji was surrounded by everyone in front of the sedan chair, and picked up a pair of bows and arrows. The arrows had already been cut off, and they were wrapped in red silk.He drew his bow and set up an arrow, and shot towards the sedan chair curtain. After shooting one arrow, he took a step back. It took three arrows in total.

Huo Hanyan felt that she was hugged in someone's arms, and then she was carried out of the car. Someone beside her was laughing, "Look at how much the champion man loves his wife, he actually got out of the car with her in his arms."

Huo Hanyan felt that she was let down, and a piece of red silk was stuffed in her hand.Then walk into the yard with the support of others.After stepping over the brazier and the saddle, it was considered to be in the middle of the yard.

The weather in April is already very warm, so the worship hall is in the courtyard, so the place is bigger and more lively.On the north side of the courtyard, an incense table had been set up long ago, with dragon and phoenix candles burning on it, Father Ning and Hui Niang sat in the first place smiling, waiting for the bride and groom to salute.

Huo Hanyan heard someone yell, "The bride and groom are paying their respects to the church. Once they bow to the heavens and the earth, they will be in harmony."

Ning Yuji and Huo Hanyan knelt down side by side, kowtowed three times, and then stood up.

"Two bows to the high hall, full of wealth and honor."

The two knelt down again, kowtowed, and got up.

"Husband and wife worship each other, loving each other."

The two faced each other and bowed three times.

"Licheng, send it to the bridal chamber."

After paying homage to heaven and earth, everyone embraced the bride and groom to the Meiyuan. Along the way, someone laid silk and replaced it piece by piece, making sure that the bride's feet did not touch the ground.As soon as they entered the main room, a group of wives and grandmas helped the bride onto the kang. This is called "sitting tent", also known as "sitting blessing".The two Quanfu wives also sprinkled longan, dates, chestnuts and peanuts on the bride's dress and said auspicious words.

Ning Yuyao used to just squeeze in among the female relatives and watch her elder brother praying to heaven and earth from behind a screen. Now that the newcomer has entered the new house, she can finally watch it from outside the door openly, but Mother Wei kept reminding her something in her ear. Don't step on the threshold, and ask her to avoid those male guests.

Someone shouted, "Take off the hijab, take off the hijab, and see if the bride is beautiful."

Ning Yuji lifted up the bride's hijab, he picked up the scale that the married wife brought over, lifted the red hijab, revealing a charming and charming face.I saw Huo Hanyan wearing tinsel on her head, with four rows of velvet flowers inserted on it, and a matching hairpin ring and hairpin, all made of shining pearls and jade.

Everyone in the bridal chamber admired, and the wives who followed congratulated Hui Niang. Hui Niang just pursed her lips and smiled, coughed lightly, stepped forward and whispered a few words in the ear of her stunned son, Ning Yuji Immediately waking up with a start, he took off the two velvet flowers on the head of the new wife with some embarrassment, looked at the new house, and put one of them on the top of the large closet next to him, and the other on the top of the suitcase in the corner. Yuji blushed even more, and lowered her head.The people around laughed, and whispered: "The groom is so smart, now he will have both sons and daughters."
