Heroes of the Sons and Daughters

Chapter 73 Flowers and candles in the painting hall are born in an instant
This time follows last time.Mrs. Chu, the wife who sent off the table, helped Miss He Yufeng into the sedan chair, and he came out and hurriedly boarded the car, and came around the front door from the east wall of the manor.

When I arrived at the gate, I saw colorful hanging lights outside the gate, a six-curved screen was set up to welcome the gate, and several embroidered curtains were hung to screen peacocks and show the east wind.Famous flowers are arranged on the table, a treasure tripod is arranged, and a welcome cup is placed in the middle.It is indescribable that the fermented wine is poured frequently, and the amber is shining golden;

Mrs. Chu just got out of the car and came in. She had seen the young master kneeling at the door, holding a table in his hand, and toasting there.With a happy face, he took the wine with both hands, and said: "Master, please get up, I can't afford to be that!" He smiled and said: "Look at your naughty way! I can't beat you, so I have to call you sister-in-law. But I won't drink until you get up." After that, he drank three cups of welcome wine, and then I deeply said a blessing to the young master.

Many family members in both clothes and hats watched, only looked at Hua Zhong and smiled, laughing so that Hua Zhong felt a little embarrassed.But he calmly helped a woman to come in all the way, and saw Mr. An greeted him in the front hall to meet him earlier.There was a group of youths in bright clothes standing far away, pointing and laughing in whispers.He expected to pay attention to him, he became more and more slow, triumphant, flaunting the spring breeze, talking and laughing freely.After a while, he walked through the front hall and reached the second gate. Mrs. An and several relatives of the younger generation came out to welcome him.At that time, my uncle and wife and Mrs. Zhang's family saw the girl off there, so they came from the front of the corner door.Everyone let the new relatives into the upper room, sat down and offered tea, chatted with each other, and waited for the sedan chair to arrive at the door.

When I came back, I talked about the new couple sitting in the sedan chair, but I heard the bragging, the strings were noisy, and I was stuffy in the sedan chair, because my mother ordered that the veil not be taken off, and I dared not move him.After walking for a while, I was looking forward to it, only to hear the sound of rattling, and the sound of two thousand-headed Baiziwang whips, and the drummers stopped in pairs, as if they had arrived at the door.Then I heard many people shouting: "Open the door!" But it was quiet inside and no one answered.The girl wondered: "Why did you take such painstaking efforts to lift it up, and then shut the door to prevent you from entering?" After calling for a while, the door still wouldn't open.

It was the man from before who said loudly again:
"Start from the auspicious place, go up from the prosperous place, come up from the happy place, and live in the blessed place. The time has come, open the door! Open the door! Please come up with the wedding sedan chair." The two gates opened, and a team of lanterns, drums and music in front entered.The sedan chair just entered the door, only to hear the choking and choking of the star-studded money.I don't know how many doors they have passed, the bearer beckoned back and forth, as if he had never entered the house, and put down the sedan chair.After listening to the girl, the drums and music stopped, but she couldn't hear anyone's voice again, and her heart jumped up again.

Why do you think the sedan chair was put down in the courtyard?It turned out that since Mr. An read "Zuo Zhuan", he felt that fashion was out of fashion, and it was definitely not a proper etiquette to marry first and then descend to ancestors. Therefore, in this matter in his family, he had to pay homage to the ancestors of heaven and earth before entering the bridal chamber.Where does the girl know the reason.

Suddenly it was quiet for a long time, only the sound of bowstrings was heard, and it was an arrow shot from the left side of the sedan chair; then a second arrow was shot from the right side of the sedan chair; The arrow hit the sedan chair squarely, and knocked the arrow back with a bang.The girl thought to herself: "This is not a problem! How can you use a living person as a slut to do it?" About one more arrow, the girl will use his method of catching darts.I heard the words beside the sedan chair early: "Fu Yi:
Caiyu protects the tassels safely, the clouds are light and the wind is peaceful and the moon is at the beginning of the month.

The twin lights of precious candles lead the way, and a flower shadow is supported by a beautiful person.

The third invitation to block the door is to ask the newcomers to step down and climb the clouds step by step.Please! "For a while, the drums and music on both sides were playing together, and many women's voices were heard approaching the sedan chair. They pulled out the onion pipes, opened the sedan chair curtain, and went to the handrail. It was Mrs. Chu and Miss Zhang who brought a pair of brides The young lady asked the newcomer to get off the sedan chair. The girl helped the two bridesmaids on the left and right, and got off the sedan chair. She felt soft under her feet, which seemed to be the red carpet. Then she heard the man praise: "Please welcome the newlyweds." Facing the auspicious side, sit with eyebrows aligned, and pay homage to heaven and earth.Hold incense, kneel, kowtow, kowtow again, kowtow three times.prosper. "At first, the girl didn't pay attention to what he was talking about, but when she praised the word "kneeling", she felt that someone above her had already knelt down, and she couldn't help kneeling down with him. Praise Said "kowtow", and kowtowed along with him. It turned out that the girl had also read "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" on weekdays. At this moment, she suddenly thought of it and said, "No wonder Pu Liuquan wrote "The Legend of Qingmei", saying that Wang Axi is the one." So I don't feel Yingying and I also worship. 'This article can really be regarded as keeping people's status and knowing people's joys and sorrows.Dare to be crowded by this matter, so that people can't help themselves! "

After paying homage to the flat body for a while, people praised: "Go up to the hall to worship the ancestors." Zhang and Chu led Xi Niang'er and helped the newcomer up three steps, passed a threshold, and walked for a few minutes. Step forward, and listen to the same praise from the side as before, kneeling twice and knocking six times.

Hearing praise again: "Aunt Weng please come to the hall, get promoted to sit, and my daughter-in-law will see you." Then he praised again: "Take off the red scarf." Then Mrs. An told the son to say: "Brother, can you Slowly." The girl looked down at the ground in the hijab, and saw a pair of boots in front of her eyes, and saw Miss Zhang holding up the corner of the hijab with one hand, holding the groom's hand with the other, and holding the bridegroom's hand with a piece of red paper. Wrapped new scales, just pick up the hijab and pick it down.The girl is so bright!
It was October weather at that time, the nights were long and the days were short, and it was the time to light up the lamps.The girl raised her eyelids slightly, and saw that the room was full of fragrance and bright lights, but the room was not set up like a jade stall and foreign goods store, only some famous books and ancient paintings, Zhou Ding, Shang Yi, and others. A good location.Several female relatives are in the east.There are also a few beautiful maids on both sides, and there are also a few servants in bright costumes.I saw that my father-in-law and mother-in-law had installed two arhat chairs in the middle hall, and they were sitting there upright.Standing next to him was a man in a square pleated shirt, wearing a red cross, and a hat with golden flowers, with a sour face and sharp words on his mouth.It turned out that the man was a scholar who had failed in the Wanping County School Congnan Examination. Because of the large population in Beijing, it was hard to find a place for the museum, so he learned the business life of the bridesmaid and courteous student.He was the one who had been yelling back and forth for a long time just now.

The girl had to remove her head covering, and heard him praise: "Bridegroom, the bride kowtows to her parents and Wenggu." At that time, because the master and wife were sitting there to receive the ceremony, the accompanying female relatives let Mrs. Chu sit in the east room.A prayer blanket was laid on the ground here, An Longmei was in the middle, He Yufeng followed on the left, Zhang Jinfeng accompanied on the right, and the three of them listened to the praise of the rite student and bowed and saluted.

Mr. An and Mrs. An looked left and right, they are really a beautiful son and a beautiful couple!
The old couple beamed with joy, nodded repeatedly with smiles on their faces, and only said: "Get up! Get up!" The three of them stood up flat.Li Sheng praised again: "Kneel." The three of them knelt down together again.Listen to him praise: "Please give a speech in the hall and give me an answer." Only listen to Mr. An said: "The marriage of the three of you is really a match made in heaven. From now on, Yuge should be more determined to study and make progress, and the two daughters-in-law will have the same psychological discipline to manage the family. The family is in harmony, and the auspicious things are auspicious, so that we can live up to the kindness of the heavens and the expectations of the two old people." Mrs. An said: "Your father and your father-in-law are very right. It has always been said that 'fame comes from the boudoir', as long as the two of you I'm just trying to persuade him to study and make progress, I'm afraid he's more useful than a stricter master. When he wins the Juren, the Jinshi, and the Hanlin, you two and one will give us two grandchildren, At that time, not only will each of you be worthy of each of your parents, but the three of you will all be considered heroes of the An family." After turning around, Master He'an said, "Master, there is one more thing to say. Today, Miss He occupies a place. First, one means that he entered the door on the first day, and the other means Miss Zhang. I think they will be the same regardless of each other from now on. Do you think so, Master An?" Master An said: "It should be so. On that day How did the emperor and Nvying ever hear that he was separated from each other? When it comes to family, the Yufeng daughter-in-law is naturally the head; when it comes to gifts, the Jinfeng daughter-in-law is the first. One, 'the gods are clear, and it is in the person', we two old people can stop asking." This old gentleman is really sour!For some reason, it was annoying to hear what he said.

Don't mention gossip, storytelling is important.But after Mr. An and Mrs. An had finished speaking, Li Sheng praised again: "Kowtow. Thank you, Parents and Aunt Weng. Happy." The three got up.He also heard him praise: "Husband and wife meet each other." Mrs. Chu came early to recruit Miss He with Xi Niang'er, and Miss Zhang and Xi Niang'er recruited and protected the young master, male and female, standing opposite each other.The two of them couldn't help looking at each other, but they had to bow their heads together around a room full of people.Li Sheng praised: "Blessings for the newcomers. Blessings for the newcomers. Double bows. Double blessings. Kneeling. Husband and wife worship each other. Double bows." The two saluted like a ceremony.He praised again: "meet the sisters. We are both blessed." Mrs. Chu saw that Miss Zhang had no one to help her, so she hurried over and quietly said to Miss Zhang, "I'll be your bride." Miss Zhang fell She blushed with embarrassment, turned to the lower head, and said a deep blessing to He Yufeng, respectfully: "Sister." He Yufeng also saluted back, calling in a low voice: "Sister." Li Sheng praised : "Husband and wife, sisters, see each other in a row." The two sisters also blessed the young master, and the young master also bowed in return.The old Mr. and Mrs. An saw it, and they were so happy that they even said "interesting", looking at each other happily.Li Sheng praised: "Newcomers and new nobles perform the ceremony of concentric knots." I saw that Nanny Hua and Nanny Dai were holding two bolts of red and green colored silk about ten feet long tied together in one place, with concentric knots at each end. Caijie, hand it to the two bridesmaids.The man on the east side tied the end on Mr. an's left hand, and the man on the west side tied the end on Miss He's right hand.Mrs. Chu hugged a gold-plated vase tied with red silk and five-color thread from the table, and handed it to Miss He to hold it in her left hand.Miss Zhang also sent a bronze round mirror tied with colored silk, and handed it to the young master to look at the bride with his right hand.Stop explaining, just listen to Li Sheng read: "Fu Yi:
A happy atmosphere overflows the door, beautiful jade and fine gold believe in destiny;

33 Every day, guests come to the world, flying like dragons and phoenixes.

Together they form a happy marriage, and they must be a century-old couple.Continuous melons, hairpin tassels from generation to generation.Red silk and colorful silk, lighted and sent to the bridal chamber. "Li Cheng, Li Sheng resigned.

Master an rewarded Li Sheng.Seeing the red lights leading the way under the eaves, Miss Zhang took a bridegroom to help the groom, held the mirror, and tied the colorful silk with her hands to lead the bride.The bride carried the vase and followed her step by step.The great music stopped in front of the court, and the musicians stopped playing the pipes, flutes, three-stringed strings, and drum boards, and sang a set of happy words about "the scenery of the painting banquet is beautiful", and they went straight to the east of the corridor. Go to the new bridal chamber in the courtyard.

As soon as the girl entered the bridal chamber, she saw that there was a lot of dowry, and everything that should be done was neatly arranged by her parents-in-law.Entering the east room, I feel that the candles are bright and precious, the fragrance is burning and the sandalwood is heavy, the emerald quilt is warm, and the mandarin duck tent is warm.Leaning on the dressing table is the satisfactory new scale, carrying the dragon and phoenix hijab; on both sides are the harmoniously carved bows and the group's precious inkstones.At this time, Mrs. an was inconvenient to enter the new house because of the inconvenience of her uncle and wife, and Mrs. Zhang was not in the right family. She was jealous of him, so she stayed in the upper room to make arrangements, and rushed to the new house herself to help Mrs. Chu and Miss Zhang cook.After entering the door, he put down the calendula and silver table, and performed the cup and wedding ceremony.Then buckle the copper basin, eat the cakes of the descendants, put the holding box, and pick the longevity noodles.After eating, they put on the skirts of their clothes, poured the vase, sat in pairs, and spread the money.But I feel that the bridal chamber is full of cheers and eyebrows raised with joy.Don't say that he dazzled He Yufeng's eyes, even when Zhang Jinfeng passed the door in Huai'an, it was the autumn when something happened, and it was not as lively as this.

Mrs. Chu is a mischievous person. When she encounters such interesting things, she becomes more energetic, talking and laughing.As soon as the gift was completed, he joined Mr. An and said, "Your errand is over. Please go out and have tea." The young master smiled and went out of the house, only to see a group of people coming in from outside, but they are here today. Congratulations to Mr. Mei, Guan Zijin, and He Maizhou.Uncle Wu was ordered to go to the Tongzhou area to search for grain in the south, so he could not come, so he sent his brother, the second master Tuomingatuo.In addition, there are Mr. Mo Youshi's young master, Wu Shilang's nephew Ling, and Mr. An's two or three fellow scholars, as well as Mr. Cheng, Zhang Leshi and Mr. Chu, both young and old.Except for Deng Jiugong and Mr. An who never came in, a total of more than a dozen people came in to make trouble.Mr. Nei Zhongmei was originally a handsome young man, and he was the youngest and most mischievous. He had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and he caught Mr. An in the chest, and said, "Long Mei, where are you running? I just ask how lucky you are! With the Zhang family Mrs. Sister-in-law is such a stunner, you can take it all you have, 'what's more, how can you care less'? Now you are looking for a handsome man according to the picture, and you have both. You just hide in the gentle village, and you don't give us wine outside Pour a cup, and don't give us a cup of tea, can we talk about it at the ceremony? Nothing else, just take off the hat, let me beat you a few brains before talking, and I don't care about your newcomer's pity Qing loves Qing!"

The son's cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, he just wanted to run, and those young men also surrounded him.Uncle Neizhongwu's younger brother said: "You just look at Longmei becoming a groom today. These two eyebrows and a face make him look more and more romantic and handsome. This is probably called 'dragon and phoenix bring prosperity'!" Guan Zi Jin said: "Where is the 'Longfeng Chengxiang'? I guess it wasn't the 'Nv He Lang' who gave it to him, but the 'Ni Zhang Chang' who painted his eyebrows! You don't believe it, just smell the fragrance of his body." Son, I don’t know if it’s the scent of flowers or the popularity?”

When Mr. Mei heard this, he stepped forward and pressed his face to smell it.The young master was so embarrassed by everyone saying one sentence to another, punching this one and that punching that there was really no room to drill.Miss Jinfeng heard it clearly in the room, and she just smiled shyly there.Miss Yufeng, however, had never experienced the old fashion of rowdy houses, and she thought to herself, "Why are these people so vitriolic and hateful!" It's hard to ask.Old master Cheng couldn't hear the backwardness, and said: "Brothers, it's not too bad. The dragon matchmaker's gift is over, and let him go out to meet the old man."

Where are you willing to go?Mr. Zhang always bowed to this one and bowed to that one, just to beg for mercy.Thanks to Chu Yiguan's strength, he rescued the young master with all his strength, and he left the room and ran away.Everyone said: "The groom has run away, we are just in time to watch the bride go!"

At that time, Mrs. An and Miss Zhang had long been hiding in the west room, and everyone rushed into the bridal chamber.In the room, only Mrs. Chu is with the new couple on the bed, and two nuns and two bridesmaids are waiting on the ground floor.The two bridesmaids are used to it for a long time. When they saw people coming in, they stopped them together and said: "Masters and young masters, the newlyweds have worked hard, so let's not make trouble in the house." They didn't listen to him, and rushed to the bed go.Among them is a bride from Yangzhou who is only in her twenties and has small feet. He only cares about his head and uses his hands to stop the crowd. On the way, he frowned and opened his mouth, holding his feet and shouting: "Hey, it hurts! My Bodhisattva, why are you so stupid!"

Mrs. Chu saw the crowd gathered around the bed, and hurriedly stretched her arms across to protect the girl.

He saw Chu Yiguan at a glance, made a raft with him, and said, "You're here too? Wow! If you want to see the newcomer, just look at it. There are also two eyebrows, two eyes, two ears, and one nose." Open your mouth. You can’t look at your hands. Let me tell you that there are ten fingers, but they can’t be evenly spaced. You can’t even look at your feet. I also tell you that it’s less than three inches when measured by a construction ruler. You must look at it, and it’s easy. , I have to go with three punches and two kicks one by one. Once I let go, the girl will come!" When everyone heard this, they said, "That can't come!" Then everyone broke up with a loud bang and ran out. up.
