Chapter 180 We Got Married

Due to the preparations for the wedding the next day, everyone just tasted it this night, otherwise they would not be able to get up the next morning.

At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Mei Sheng, who hadn't been drinking, drove Zhao Gang, his wife and Bai Ruoxue to Zhao's house.

According to the established procedures, Jiang Deming will go to Zhao's house to meet the bride, and Zhao Gang will play Bai Ruoxue's family.

Those women who will be Bai Ruoxue's bridesmaids will arrive at Zhao's house tomorrow morning.

……

At 03:30 in the morning, Tian Yu knocked on the door one by one to wake people up.

Jiang Deming, who was a groom for the first time, didn't sleep much at all. When he heard the knock on the door, he immediately got up from the kang.

Holding the groom's clothes on the side, he left the room.

After washing up in the bathroom, Jiang Deming changed into this black and red wedding dress.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Putting on this Hanfu, putting on a wig and brushing it up to put on a jade crown, Jiang Deming transformed himself into a peerless beauty in ancient times.

Like Tian Yu and Han Chunsong's two younger sisters, their eyes were fixed on Jiang Deming, and they didn't want to look away.

Let the rest of the men have a bit of fun.

Jiang Deming didn't notice this at all. He was immersed in a strange emotion, both excited and apprehensive.

After breakfast, Jiang Deming walked out of Li's house with Wu Qianli, Wu Wanli, Dayong, Shao Jianbo, Mei Sheng and other groomsmen who also changed into Hanfu.

Li Yunlong's guards had already equipped the horses. It was Jiang Deming's great effort to get him to be approved to ride on the street today, which is impossible under normal circumstances.

No way, you can't wear a costume, but sit in a jeep, or ride a bicycle to meet your relatives, right?

How do you think about that kind of picture, how it violates harmony.

The route to greet relatives is particular. It doesn’t mean to go straight to the bride’s house to pick up the bride and leave. Especially in the capital city, there are several streets that must be turned around, which contain many wonderful things. meaning.

After finishing the circle, you have to rush to the bride's house at a specific auspicious time to pick her up.

This custom is still maintained even after 60 years. Some traditions are to make something more ceremonial, to show the importance of this marriage.

When we arrived at Zhao's house, it was already past five o'clock in the morning.

Under the auspices of Mr. Guan, Jiang Deming passed a series of checkpoints, and finally received his bride, Bai Ruoxue.

The process was very interesting, but it was a little expensive for the best man.

With the sound of firecrackers, Jiang Deming and Bai Ruoxue rode together and slowly moved towards Li's house.

As newcomers, both Jiang Deming and Bai Ruoxue were very nervous before meeting each other, but after seeing each other, their hearts slowly settled down.

The two sat on the horse and whispered. Except for Wu Wanli who was in charge of opening the road ahead, the rest of them tacitly put a distance away from the couple so that they could have a chance to whisper.

By the time they arrived at Li's house, the sky was completely bright, and many neighbors who hadn't left their homes ran out to watch after hearing the commotion outside. This kind of excitement had not been seen for many years.

Jiang Deming was not stingy either, and asked the best man group to distribute wedding candy to these neighbors. Although the portion was not much, it was guaranteed that everyone would get a share.

Under the auspices of Mr. Guan, Jiang Deming and Bai Ruoxue were able to enter the courtyard after leading the best man group through five trials and beheading six generals.

Li Yunlong and Tian Yu didn't know when they changed into ancient costumes, and even Father Lei was arranged. Looking at his clean-shaven beard, Jiang Deming wanted to laugh for some reason.

When Lao Lei didn't grow a beard, he was actually quite handsome.

The subsequent procedure is just like the one shown on TV, first pray to the heaven and earth, then to the high hall, and finally the husband and wife pay their respects, which is regarded as the completion of the ceremony.

Although Jiang Deming and Bai Ruoxue haven't gone to get the certificate yet, according to Chinese tradition, they are already officially married.

After sending Bai Ruoxue into the bridal chamber, Jiang Deming greeted the guests outside.

All the people who come here are relatives and friends. When it's noon, it's time to go to the restaurant. At that time, Jiang Deming and Bai Ruoxue will salute again under the witness of everyone.

Now here is just simple, the restaurant side is the real retro wedding.

This was decided after Jiang Deming discussed with Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and the old man.

Now there are only about a quarter of the guests in the Li's house, and the Li's house is already crowded. After Jiang Deming thought about it, he simply asked these people to go to the restaurant, lest they all go to the Li's house in a while.

After taking all the guests away, Jiang Deming and Bai Ruoxue also boarded the jeep and headed for the restaurant.

This time I didn’t ride a horse anymore. It was a special case when we were welcoming relatives. In addition, it was not yet dawn at that time, even if we rode a horse, it would not hinder the traffic. Now it is different. Those who have to go to work have to go to work, and those who have to send their children to school have to send their children to school. , the streets are full of people, riding horses at this time can easily cause traffic jams.

After arriving at the restaurant, Bai Ruoxue was sent inside to touch up her makeup, while Jiang Deming stood outside with Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang to welcome the guests.

Even Wu Qianli and they are not idle. Besides paying money, the current people will also help newcomers buy furniture.

Things like refrigerators and washing machines are popular choices.

Some even have acquaintances pool together to buy a complete set of furniture.

Jiang Deming was still thinking about buying more after he got married. After all, the renovation of the rolling mill compound has not yet been completed, and there is still a long time before moving in.

Unexpectedly, people have already helped him get more than half of it.

When welcoming guests, Jiang Deming held a list in his hand, and when a guest came, he would put a tick on it.

Fortunately, those who received the invitations were very face-saving, and almost all those who were close came.

It was probably the first time I saw this kind of retro wedding, and everyone felt very fresh.

In addition, when choosing a restaurant, Jiang Deming deliberately chose a restaurant with a history of [-] years. It was originally inherited from an imperial chef. He bought a prince's mansion and turned it into a restaurant. Later, after the collective system was implemented, this restaurant was naturally changed to public-private partnership.

Due to the high quality of the products, the operating expenses are much higher than ordinary restaurants. This kind of consumption is not affordable by ordinary people. Tears welled up in my eyes.

The ability passed down from the ancestors finally has a place to use.

This is also helpless, in an era when everyone is poor, all they think about is how to eat well, not how to eat well.

This kind of high-end restaurant can only cater to foreigners. However, except for a few dishes, they can't adapt to it at all. For example, the dishes that are popular abroad are all modified according to the tastes of foreigners.

Jiang Deming chose this restaurant because he thought it was big enough to accommodate the guests he invited, and because of the antique scene inside, it complemented the retro-style wedding.
