Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 645 Chapter 640 Four: Yuan Daping Gets Married

On August [-], the Yuan family held a happy event.

On the first day, Song Qiu sent the agreed six mule carts to Yuan's house.

Early this morning, I went to Yuan's house in a carriage with old Yuan Shi and Ah Ling.

The Yuan family's red silk was hung high, and the arrangement was both festive and lively.

The women who were invited to help were busy washing and chopping vegetables, and the big spoon who served the banquet invited Huang Dashao.

Nowadays, there are eight villages in ten miles, and those villages are farther away. Many of them like to invite Huang Dashao to host the banquet. The unique steamed vegetables, roasted with salt and white sugar, are the only ones he can cook. Please invite other banquets. , but none of these.

Not to mention, the noodles with these steamed vegetables are decent, and anyone who eats them will praise them.

The Yuan family's courtyard is large, and a corner is set aside for banquets. In other places, there are tables and so on, and there is still a path leading directly from the courtyard gate to the main room.

The main room is very lively at the moment, relatives and friends, near and far, those who should come and can come have all arrived.

The Yuan family's life is prosperous these days, but that is seen by the distant relatives and neighbors.

Originally, the family had more than ten acres of land, and the brothers and sisters-in-law of the Yuan family all had work to do. It is said that the monthly wages add up to a small three taels!
This is something that even envy cannot envy.

Red eyes?

no need.

But there are many people who are eyeing the Yuan family and want to have children with the Yuan family.

It would be best if I could marry my daughter to the Yuan family, live a good life, not suffer, and have relatives from the Song family, so I can do whatever job I want, earn money, and not be tired or hungry, how decent?
But Yuan Daping got married today, and Yuan Erping's marriage has also been settled. There is only one Yuan Sanping left, who is not yet ten years old this year, and it is still early.

There is no way to marry a daughter, but you can ask Yuan's daughter to be your daughter-in-law!

Only when we get married can we come and go.

Therefore, Yuan Zhizhi and Yuan Meimei are popular.

These two sisters, one fourteen and one thirteen, can be said to be close!
There are a lot of guests today, everyone is talking with Lao Meng and Xiang's sister-in-law. They want to talk about this marriage, even if they don't believe it, there is a tacit understanding. .

What if it is done?
Not only them, but even the old Yuan family and Hu Yuan family are the objects that everyone is vying to talk about.

Song Qiu was sitting next to the old Yuan, with a decent junior smile on his face, watching and listening to the enthusiastic saliva of these women and daughters-in-law flying around, and splashing one or two on his face from time to time, he almost couldn't sit still.

Fortunately, she is engaged, otherwise, at a women's conference like today, she would also be one of the ones who were competing to be a matchmaker.

Well, just look at Ah Ling next to him, who is about to be pulled out to mention it in a few words.

Seeing another woman come up to hold the old Yuan's hand, smiling like a chrysanthemum, she brought up Ah Ling again, the saliva almost didn't splash on her mouth, Song Qiu finally couldn't sit still, and hurriedly pulled Ah Ling. Ling slipped out of the hall.

In the custom of getting married in the countryside, the auspicious time is generally set around noon, and those who come to have a wedding drink will leave after watching the ceremony and having a drink.

If it is set in the evening and dusk like in the city, it will waste lamp oil and candles, and it will be inconvenient for people who come to drink after dark to go home, so it is best to set it in the daytime.

Thirty miles away from Wangjialiang, the people who received the relatives set off before dawn. There was a mule cart, and the round trip was quite fast. It is estimated that they will be back soon.

The steamed vegetables in a corner of the yard had already been steamed, and the big steamer sitting on the stove was emitting bursts of white gas, with a strong aroma that wafted all over the yard, making it extremely fragrant.

The little ones were running around the yard, sucking their saliva while looking at the road into the village.

After a while, I could only hear the sound of blowing and blowing, and when I looked intently, I saw mules tied with big red flowers leading the way, a group of six, coming into the village mightily.

The Yuan family specially invited a drum team for weddings and weddings to welcome their relatives. Two people sat in the first mule cart, and two sat in the last mule cart. can hear.

Walking on the third mule cart are the bride and groom in red wedding attire. The bride is covered with a veil, and the groom is holding a red silk in his hand.

The other mule carts are full of people who come to pick up their relatives and brides.

Seeing that the wedding party came back, the kids jumped up and down to meet them, and circled the mule cart, excited.

In the courtyard of the Yuan family, they knew that the welcoming team had returned, and they were ready.

As soon as the convoy approached, the person in charge of lighting the firecrackers at the gate of the courtyard moved his hands, there was a crackling sound, bursts of white smoke and sparks burst out, and the fire was very festive.

Then, Yuan Daping, who was all red and happy, helped the bride out of the mule cart, and the matchmaker who was sitting in the mule cart behind was the younger sister of Xiang's natal sister-in-law, and helped the bride.

The crowd surrounded the couple and entered the yard. A brazier had been placed at the entrance of the main room. The bride, led by the matchmaker, stepped over the brazier and entered the main room with the groom.

The main room was already full of people, and those who were surrounded by the crowd gathered around the door to watch if they couldn't get in.

At this time, it was rare for Yuan Cheng and Xiang Shi, who are parents, to sit at the head of the hall, because the newcomer wants to worship the high hall, and the parents are present, so it is natural to worship the parents first.

Yuan Shuanzi and old Meng sat down at the bottom, together with old relatives such as old Yuan, watched the ceremony with a smile.

The bridesmaid is also the person who sings the salute, and is acted by a highly respected elder in Yanghuai Village.

When the two newcomers took their seats in the hall, he opened his mouth and started to shout.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Bye husband and wife!"

It was the first time for Song Qiu to watch the bustle of getting married in the ancient village up close, and he felt that it was novel and lively.

This was completely different from the wedding banquets she had attended in later generations.

There are no such things as crossing the brazier, praying to the heaven and the earth, and worshiping the high hall. Whether it is wearing a wedding dress or a Xiuhe suit, the atmosphere is completely different with the wedding master of ceremonies. People still exchange rings and kiss the bride. Yes, there are many forms.

Romance is romance, but if we want to talk about simplicity and purity, we still have to count the weddings of this era.

But if Song Qiu were to say which one she likes, she would say that she still likes the afterlife without any hesitation.

Not for the romance of exchanging rings, and the dreaminess and beauty of the wedding banquet.

It's because the weddings of later generations are more and more developed and avant-garde, and there are not so many exquisite customs. When a daughter gets married, parents can appear at the wedding scene, sit on the high platform, and accept the couple's kowtow and tea ceremony together with the man's parents.

Parents who love their daughters, who doesn't want to witness the moment when their daughters get married?

And as a daughter, I also want my parents to watch me marry my beloved.

Song Qiu sniffed, thinking: Mom and Dad won't see her getting married, but when she gets married next year, she has to ask her grandma to sit on top of her and watch her get married.

So it's better not to go in or out, if she really wants to get married, her grandma can at most send her to the door of the house, and she can't go to the man's side to watch the ceremony with the welcoming team.

And if Li Yang is married to her, just like Cousin Meng Sheng did last year, the aunt and the others can only send them out of the house, and they can't see the scene of Cousin Meng Sheng paying homage, how can they not feel regretful?
Getting married is a major event in a lifetime, don't leave any regrets, it's best if you can witness it with your own eyes.

"Licheng!"

With this sound, a group of newcomers were sent into the new house.

After entering a new house, there are still etiquettes to be done, that is, lifting the hijab and drinking a cup of wine.

After finishing these, the bride will stay in the new house, while the groom will come out to toast and accompany the guests.

Following the sound of salutation, they were sent into the bridal chamber, and a banquet was also held in the courtyard outside. Everyone found their seats, and the table of eight quickly sat down, and the dishes were brought to the table like flowing water.
