Chapter 105 The Wedding in Miao Nianli

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Su Cangyue and Zhao Dong, who were wearing Miao family costumes, arrived at the gate of Muzhai.

Like Jiang Village, there is a river flowing in front of Mu Village.The gate of the village has been tied with red silk, and guests from all over the place and young men and women who are "rushing to the sidelines" are walking in in groups.

Su Cangyue and Zhao Dong followed the flow of people into the village, and soon arrived at a square with a bonfire.The sky was still bright at this time, but there were already young men and women singing love songs in duet. The singing of sister and elder brother wafted over the village, and the scene was very lively.

On one side of the square, there were more than a dozen tables of banquets, with all kinds of food on them, but no chairs.The guests who came to congratulate will go to the table to get some food, and then squat to the side to eat, it seems that there are several buffets.

Su Cangyue and Zhao Dong sat in the corner of the square, each holding a glutinous rice cake, talking in a low voice while eating.

"Have you seen the tallest building on stilts?" Zhao Dong said in a low voice, "I saw Alang on the second floor over there at night, but he was sleepy and wanted to steal him out, but someone came I also brought a dog, so I had no choice but to let it go.”

"You were found?"

"Ah."

Su Cangyue said in embarrassment: "With dogs around, it's very difficult!"

"I didn't prepare yesterday," Zhao Dong snorted and said, "Let's find a chance to go there later. We just need to enter the room and find Alang. I'll deal with the dog. You take him first."

Su Cangyue pulled the silver jewelry around her neck, and asked with a wry smile, "You want me to sneak in with so many tinkling things hanging on?"

"Find a chance to take these things down and treat them as makeup gifts for the bride." Zhao Dong patted her on the shoulder and said, "We don't have to go in quietly, we just go in openly, we are Congratulations!"

Su Cangyue got up following Zhao Dong, and walked leisurely towards the stilted building ahead.When she was about to walk to the front of the house, she understood why she was able to pass through openly.Now, except for singing, eating and drinking in the square, all the people in the village came to this stilted building.

Seeing the red curtains in front of the stilted building representing celebration, Su Cangyue had a bad feeling: "Hey, Dongzi, tell me, the one who gets married tonight will not be Alang?"

"How old is Ah Lang?" Zhao Dong said with a smile, "How did you think of this?"

"Miao people have the custom of marrying early. They usually get married at the age of fifteen or six to 20!" Su Cangyue said in a low voice, "Also, he is the future Tima of Jiangcun Village, and he knows how to play cups! They married him Snatch it back and let him be the door-to-door son-in-law, he will, won’t the people in Mulan Village know how? When I heard him mention Mulan Village last time, his expression was very strange, it’s entirely possible!”

"I'll be at the bride's house soon, follow up when they see off the bride, and see if the groom is A-Lang!"

Zhao Dong didn't want to talk to her about these matters, so he led her to walk faster, and the two went up the stairs to the second floor of the stilted building.

After entering the door, there is a small main room. There is a table covered with red surface at the door. The congratulatory guests will put gifts on the table before entering the door.The guest in charge of registration will ask which village it is from, and then sing a promise that a certain village will send a certain gift.

The guests who have given gifts will be allowed to sit in the room, serve tea and wedding cakes, and after sitting for a while, they will get up and leave.There are too many guests, and if you sit still, there will be no place for the people behind you to stay.

A red embroidered curtain is hung on the door connected to the main room. According to the custom, the bride sits inside and waits for the welcoming procession to arrive.

The wedding in Miao Nianli was festive and lively, because during this period of time, the busy farming season was over and everyone was free, and when it came to weddings, there were a lot of people coming.

Su Cangyue put down a silver collar on the table at the door, it was taken from her neck, she wanted to take it off a long time ago.

The two claimed to be from the nearby Wazhai, said a few words of congratulations, were ushered to sit down, served tea, took a few sips, Su Cangyue got up, and walked to the bride's room. Go to that door.

A man from the Miao family stopped the two of them at the door: "The wedding has not yet started, this is the bride's room, please sit down for a while, and go to the square in front to drink and play!"

Zhao Dong took a step forward and said with a smile: "We are here to give the bride a congratulations. I want to ask the bride to give us a blessing, so that we can also share the bride's happiness!"

"Boom!"

There was a muffled sound in the room, as if something had fallen to the floor.

Su Cangyue and Zhao Dong looked at each other and understood what the other party meant. The sound just now was most likely because Alang heard his voice and tried to warn him.

Su Cangyue stepped forward with a smile, took off the silver collar on her wrist and handed it to Miao Han: "This is my gift to the bride. We came here from Wazhai specially to make the bride happy, and please let us Congratulations to the bride."

"Xiong Duo, accept the guests' things and let the guests sit aside to watch the ceremony!"

A man's voice came from the room, and Miao Han, who stood in front of the two, answered "Yes" and let the two go inside.

Su Cangyue and Zhao Dong walked into the back room, and found that there was another room inside, and the bride and her family were in the back room.The back room was separated by a red gauze curtain, and only two figures could be seen inside, but their faces could not be seen clearly.

However, this is not difficult for Su Cangyue, she used her perspective skills, and quickly saw the appearance of the two people in the back room.

A middle-aged man in his 40s, wearing a simple Miao costume without a baotou, doesn't look like a Miao, but rather looks like a Han wearing Miao clothes.Su Cangyue remembered that when this person spoke just now, he spoke with some Beijing accents, it seemed that he might really be a Han Chinese.

Beside the middle-aged man, sat a figure in a bridal gown.

The bride's neck and wrists are covered with Miao silver ornaments, the most eye-catching is the bride's headgear, which is different from the Miao girl headgear Su Cangyue has seen before, but it is very similar to the phoenix crown of the Ming Dynasty royal family, full of pearls and emeralds. The bride's face was blocked by a bead curtain, and she couldn't see her face clearly, only a small mouth with lip balm was exposed.

Su Cangyue looked at the whole room calmly, but did not find Alang's shadow, and shook her head at Zhao Dong in disappointment.

At this time, a middle-aged woman brought tea, poured a bowl of tea for each of them, said some words of thanks, and sat on the side to accompany them.

This is the treatment of entertaining distinguished guests.

"Sister, is your daughter getting married today?" Su Cangyue didn't drink tea, and started to inquire about the news.

"How can I be so lucky!" The woman said with a smile, "The people who get married today are noble people, and our most distinguished guests from Mulan Village have come all the way to bless them!"

Su Cangyue's heart trembled, did the distinguished guests who came from afar refer to the two of them?Identity revealed?

She glanced at Zhao Dong, who gave her a reassuring look, and said to the woman with a smile, "Sister, where is this bride going to marry?"

"Just marry in Lanzhai, what a great place!"

The woman sighed, Zhao Dong agreed, and the two said some unnutritious words, Zhao Dong and Su Cangyue left.

Walking out of the stilted building, the two looked around the house, but they didn't find Alang, but they found two fierce black backs.

"Asu, it was these two dogs last night. They were sent here later." Zhao Dong looked at the black back and said in a low voice: "Now the dogs are still there, Alang must still be in the house, but not I know where it is hidden."

"What's next?"

"Let's watch it first, and when the wedding starts, go in and look for it while you're messing around."

After the two discussed it, they sat side by side by the tree on the stilted building, just like ordinary Miao men and women, and whispered.If someone saw them at this time, they would think that they were a couple in love, but after listening to their conversation closely, they knew that was not the case.

"Dongzi, wait a minute, how are you going to deal with these two dogs?"

"killed."

"..."

"Dongzi, are you familiar with the structure of a stilted building?"

"Ah."

"Then guess where they might hide Alang?"

"Just go in and see."

"Dongzi..."

"someone is coming!"

The two people under the tree got closer and made an intimate look.

Su Cangyue's senses were fully activated, and she really found a team coming from the intersection ahead.

The leader of the team was a middle-aged man with a strong physique, holding a sword in his hand, striding towards the Diaojiao building.Behind the man is a man in his 20s, holding a golden pheasant in his hand, and a piece of red cloth is tied to the paw of the golden pheasant.Behind them are all couples of young men with Miao Dao hanging on their waists, all of them look serious and serious.

Su Cangyue said in a low voice: "I didn't expect the Miao family's wedding to be like this now. They all sent men to welcome the bride. They were afraid of robbing the bride! The leader should be a best man who can speak well. This person is responsible for persuading the bride's family to welcome the bride smoothly." Woolen cloth!"

"Asu, are you familiar with Miao's wedding?" Zhao Dong asked in a low voice, looking at the wedding procession.

Su Cangyue said nervously: "Don't forget, I'm a student of Chu University now, and my research is on soil and Miao customs, of course I know a lot!"

But what happened next was far beyond her expectations. When the welcoming team walked up to the stilted building of the bride's house, no one from the woman came out to make things difficult.The Miao Han who was guarding the door even saluted the middle-aged man who was welcoming his relatives, and respectfully invited them in.

The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the young man holding the golden pheasant behind him stepped forward, pressed the chicken to the ground, and chopped off the chicken's head with a knife.Immediately someone stepped forward and took a look at the chicken head, and shouted: "Ji!"

The middle-aged man waved his hand again, and the welcoming team entered the house.

In less than 3 minutes, the bride was carried out.The person carrying the bride is the middle-aged man who spoke with a Beijing accent just now.The man walked down the stilted building step by step, and the silver ornaments on the bride's body trembled, making pleasant noises one after another.

Hearing this sound, Su Cangyue remembered the sound of Alang shaking the hand bell that night in the cave, very similar.

Su Cangyue was fascinated by the middle-aged man carrying the bride. According to the marriage customs of the Miao family, the bride was carried out by her brothers and sent to her husband's house.Now that this person is so old, could it be said that the bride is actually an Obasan?

At this time, something familiar appeared out of the corner of Su Cangyue's eyes. On the bride's neck, there was a safety buckle flickering as they walked. The suet-white safety buckle was faintly shining in the dusk red light.

She grabbed Zhao Dong's arm suddenly and motioned him to look.

Zhao Dong squeezed her hand, then put his mouth close to her ear, and said in a very low voice: "Alang's things. Wait a moment and follow the wedding team to Lanzhai, be careful. I will search here Come over later."

Su Cangyue nodded, stood up and followed.
