Chapter 473 "Rice Noodle Couple"

On the martial arts arena in Yangjialouzhai, Zhang Guodong yelled an order: "All keep the firecrackers, and put the holsters, sticks, tin turtles, lead molds and other things in each person's hands into bags and keep them all!"

Everyone in the martial arts arena was taken aback, but they saw Zhang Cheng stepping forward, clasped his fists at Yang Shibin and said, "Zhang Cheng first arrived at Yang's House, and he has nothing outside of him, so now I'm giving me the excellent self-made Firebird gun on Xuanzhen North Road. One hundred shots as a token of respect!"

Yang Shibin was really overjoyed, he had just experienced the power of these one hundred self-fired blunderbusses, to be honest, just these one hundred self-fired blunderbusses were equivalent to armor, shields and long spears just now Knife stick and tiger crouching gun.

He also took a step forward, expressed his thanks first, and then went to Zhang Cheng's side and said, "Shuai Zhang, it's almost time, shall we carry out the ceremony, everyone have a good drink!"

…………

Yang Liying was still wearing a tight-fitting battle jacket inside and a dagger hanging around her waist. This was her habit for many years, but today is a happy day after all, and she still looks like a bride.

I saw her with a phoenix crown and Xiapei, a pleated scarlet skirt, a red silk handkerchief on her head, and a Dingdong ring around her head. She was supported by Chunni and Chunxue who were also dressed in military attire, and she got into the sedan chair.

Immediately in front of the sedan chair were Chuni and Haruyuki, their war horses had red silk hydrangeas on their heads, and behind the sedan chair was a group of 20 female soldiers, also on horseback, walking slowly.

This group of female soldiers was chosen by Yang Liying herself to practice. They called themselves the "Women's Army", and Yang Shijie was the ambassador to see them off.

Originally, according to Zhang Cheng's wishes, happy events should be done as extravagantly as possible.

He even had to perform three letters and six betrothals, for fear of wronging Yang Liying, after all, women in this era may only marry once in their lifetime.

But Yang Shibin wanted to get it done as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams, and Yang Liying really didn't care about those red tapes, and Zhang Cheng's army was really heavy, which was why he was so eager.

But marriage is a major event in life after all. Although Zhang Cheng and Yang Liying have already fallen in love with each other, and Zhang Cheng is in a hurry to follow the power, and there is no need to repay his mother's consent, but the proper ceremony is also indispensable.

So it was decided that today the sedan chair would go around in the Yang family building, and finally be carried to a courtyard next to the Yang family compound, where Zhang Cheng temporarily stayed.

Suddenly, Yang Liying, who was sitting in the bridal sedan chair, heard the bearer walking in the front shout: "A flower under your feet!"

Immediately afterwards the second bearer said, "Look at it and don't pick it!"

The two bearers behind the sedan chair also repeated these two sentences.

Yang Liying felt strange in her heart: Who threw Hanako on the road?This is a world of ice and snow, what kind of flowers will be thrown on the ground?

She meditated for a while before she suddenly realized that she remembered that she had heard it before. This sentence was actually the incision of the bearers. If the bearer at the front saw excrement on the road, he would use this auspicious word to inform the companions behind to avoid Step on your feet.

She was still thinking, hadn't the street been cleaned just now, how could there be "a flower"?

Although Zhang Cheng stayed in the other courtyard mansion next to the Yang family compound, the wedding ceremony still had to be held in the Yang family compound. Gein's courtyard was not only spacious, but also had many houses.

Both inside and outside the compound were already very lively, not only were there foreign guests and friends, but also people of certain identities in the Yang Family Village gathered here. Who would want to miss such a grand ceremony!

Even in the Martial Arts Hall, a large number of officers and soldiers gathered there to light up piles of bonfires, as well as groups of war horses, and people of all colors carrying gifts came and went, and the two groups of drummers took turns to play music.

The road from the main entrance to the second hall was still paved with red felt, and when the sedan chair arrived, there was even loud drum music, and the Swastika-headed firecrackers hanging on the big trees on both sides were lit at the same time, and there was a burst of sound.

Zhang Cheng was dressed in a neat red military uniform, with the sword bestowed by the current emperor hanging on his waist, and wearing red and flowers, waiting for each other in the courtyard.

Chunni and Chunxue had already dismounted from their horses. They tore off the sparse red thread sewn on both sides of the sedan door, opened the sedan curtain, and helped Yang Liying get off the sedan chair.

In the sound of drums and firecrackers, I walked into the gate, and walked all the way to the second gate on the red felt amidst the cheers of the guests.

Don't look at Yang Liying's usual carefree appearance, like a sonorous rose who doesn't like red makeup and arms, but after all, it's a girl's family and it's her first marriage. At this moment, she is also very nervous, her heart is pounding, neither Dare to look up, but dare not look at people.

A saddle is placed across the threshold of the second door.

This is a historical trace left over from the primitive society period and the custom of snatching marriages of nomadic peoples. Although it has been passed down from generation to generation in the Central Plains, no one can tell its specific origin and significance.

Today, Yang Liying also knew that she had to step over a saddle when entering the second gate, and her lowered eyes also saw this half-old red lacquered wooden saddle lying horizontally, with a saddle underneath.

However, due to the cheers from the guests and friends around her, coupled with the fact that she was too nervous in such a lively and crowded environment, her footsteps were a little flustered, which made her able to mount a horse, shoot and fight, and dismounted to wield a knife and a gun The heroine tripped over the saddle with one foot.

If it wasn't for the support from Chuni and Haruyuki who were closely beside her, she might have staggered, causing everyone around to burst into laughter.

In the middle of the second courtyard, a little closer to the side of the upper room, there is a heaven and earth table, covered with a big red embroidered table surround, and a large incense burner with sandalwood burning inside.

Behind the incense burner is a wooden bucket full of grain, and the mouth of the bucket is sealed with red paper. On the red paper is a bronze mirror with a steelyard on it.

This is also an ancient custom that has been handed down for thousands of years. It is said that the steelyard and the bronze mirror symbolize the husband and wife's love for Tianming and treat each other fairly. .

Yang Liying was helped to stand in front of the Tiandi Table. According to the old rule of men left and women right, Zhang Cheng was standing on her left, but she didn't dare to turn her head to look, she just felt that Zhang Cheng was beside her, and immediately Just caught sight of his new riding boots.

Amidst the sound of the drums, the master of ceremonies shouted praises, and she followed the instructions of the praises to pay respects to the heavens and the earth with Zhang Cheng, the second bow to the high hall, and finally the husband and wife bowed face to face.

She only felt that she was like a wooden figure, at the mercy of people, but in her heart she always felt that she was clumsy, and she suddenly became very unfamiliar with kneeling and saluting.

She felt that sometimes, she didn't pay much attention to the sound of drums, praises, and cheers, but she could hear her own short breathing and ring pedicure.

After paying homage to heaven and earth, Yang Liying was supported by Chunni and Chunxue and walked around the heaven and earth table to the inner room, when suddenly something fell on her head and body.

Yang Liying was stunned at first, and then she realized that the scattered things were bran and red dates. A sense of happiness filled her heart in an instant, and she was willing to sprinkle more of these two things to herself.

Sure enough, everyone continued to scatter and scatter until she walked into the inner room and turned to the other courtyard on the right. Fortunately, there was a piece of red silk covering her head, which made the handfuls of red dates and Fuzi can't hit her beautiful and delicate face, nor can she hit her phoenix crown.
