Chapter 196 Fang Xin Gets Married
On the twelfth day of the winter moon, it was the first day of Fang Xin's marriage.The custom of getting married in the capital city is different from that in Yanjiang Village. On the first day of the year, one goes to the bride's house to greet the bride in the morning.After receiving the bride, go back to the house to pay homage, and the banquet will be held at noon and evening.

Early in the morning, in Fangfu's new house, everyone was busy.Fang Shi and Bilian helped Fang Xin to pack everything up. She wore a bright red wedding dress with a red cross on her chest and a big red flower.The boy outside came to report, saying that the chariots and horses to welcome the bride had been prepared and they could set off.Fang Xin went out of the house and came to the gate, where the guard of honor was already prepared outside the gate.

At the front are the drummers. The sixteen drummers are divided into two rows. They are also wearing red clothes, and they are beaming. The trumpets and other musical instruments in their hands are also tied with red silk.Behind the trumpeter is a big bay red horse with a red flower on the horse's head, which is the groom's mount.Behind this horse, there are four big horses, which are reserved for the best man to ride. Today's best man is Da Lang, Er Lang, Xiao San and Bo Wen.The remaining boys are responsible for rolling the kang.Behind the horse is a row of carriages covered in red and colorful. The first one is the largest and most luxurious. This is for the bride. Now there are two people sitting in it, Yuxian and Haoyu. They are in charge of pressing the sedan chair today.In the carriage at the back, there were Xi Niang, Mrs. Quanfu and others who were welcoming the bride. Although the emperor was the matchmaker for the marriage, a matchmaker was also invited. Fang Xin invited the official matchmaker and arranged a car for her. .

The auspicious time has come, Fang Xin and his party set off from the new house, and walked all the way to Hubu Shangshu's mansion.When they arrived in front of Shangshu's mansion, the drummer mustered up his energy and beat hard.The door of Shangshu's mansion was wide open, the groom dismounted, and the bride's elder brother and others came to welcome Fang Xin and the bridegroom into the mansion.The Household Minister's surname is Han. There are three daughters and six sons in his family. Fang Xin married the second daughter, Han Xuehui.

The Han family arranged a banquet for the bridegroom. At this moment, someone accompanied the bridegroom to eat the banquet first.Fang Xin's brothers and uncles all dragged Fang Xin to drink.At this time, the usefulness of the best man is revealed. Xiaosan is alone, trying his best to fight against everyone. When everyone sees that he is a child, they feel embarrassed to continue making trouble.After the banquet, it was almost time, and a group of people came to the courtyard where Miss Han's family lived.The gate of the courtyard was closed, and some of Ms. Han's close friends, as well as the sisters and sisters-in-law at home, all blocked the door and refused to let in.So Fang Xin had one song, Erlang and Bo Wen had one each, and this was considered a pass.At this time, another group of children clamored for red envelopes.Xiaosan said, "You guys keep the door closed, where can we hand out the red envelopes?"

When the people inside heard this, they said, "Let's open the door a little, and you put the red envelopes in." So, the door was opened a little, and Xiao San handed the red envelopes in, and the children bowed their heads to grab the red envelopes.At this time, Xiao San showed his might and slammed the door open, and the people who welcomed the relatives entered the yard at once, and everyone laughed.

The door of the main house opened, and the bride's brother carried the bride out of the house, and carried her all the way to the front hall.Inside, the floor was paved with red carpet, Lord Shangshu's parents were still there, and they were all sitting in the high hall now, and Han Shangshu and his wife were also sitting there.The bride was put down, and then supported by Xi Niang, together with Fang Xin, they bid farewell to the bride's parents.Han Shangshu said some more words, nothing more than admonishing his daughter to marry and obey her husband, and to serve her husband well.

The dowry has started to be distributed outside. The bride’s dowry has a total of 96 lifts, which are all regulated.The dowry bearers were all wearing red clothes, and they were all young men in their twenties, all of them very energetic.The dowry distribution team alone is a long line.After the dowry was distributed, it was time for the bride to get on the sedan chair. The elder brother of the bride came to the front of the sedan chair with the bride on his back. Yuxian and Haoyu had already been sitting in the car. He helped the bride into the car.Then Fang Xin, Da Lang and the others also got on the horses, and the drummer played more happily now, and the people who saw off the relatives also got on the carriage, and then set off to Fang's father in a mighty way.

When the couple just arrived outside the Fangfu gate, the sound of firecrackers rang out.The groom got off the horse, took the bow and arrow from Xiao Si's hand back, gestured three times towards the carriage, and then Xi Niang helped the bride get off the carriage.As soon as the bride got off the car, Xi Niang stuffed one end of the silk tied with big red flowers into the bride's hand, and handed the other end to Fang Xin.Fang Xin was in front, the bride was behind, and the two bridesmaids supported the bride, walking on the ground covered with red felt.First cross the brazier, cross the saddle, and then arrive at the main hall.

When the couple arrived at the lobby, it was an auspicious time, and the master of ceremonies shouted to the hall from the side.The bride and groom bowed to the high hall of heaven and earth, and then the husband and wife bowed to each other. This is considered a ceremony.The bride was sent to the bridal chamber, while Fang Xin entertained the distinguished guests in front.

In the courtyard, apart from the bride's dowry, there are gifts from the guests.In Fangfu today, it can be said that distinguished guests gathered, basically all the officials from the imperial court came, even the First Prince and Second Prince sent people to send congratulatory gifts.Fang Xin is now very much favored by the emperor, not only has he secured the matchmaker, but also given him a house and many other things.Which one in the court has bad news?If you don't hurry to come here to give gifts, the two princes naturally have the idea of ​​wooing them.However, there is no one in Fangfu who can rectify the eight classics to welcome the guests. Fortunately, two friends of Fang Xin are there, leading Jinyu and Yun Song to help welcome the guests and arrange seats. What's wrong.Now that Fang Xin has paid his respects, he is the one who takes the lead in receiving the guests.Not only men came to congratulate, naturally there were also ladies from various prefectures, Fang and Bilian were all busy entertaining these noble ladies.Although both of them are ordinary people, their manners and conversations are not worse than those people at all.These wives also knew that the two sisters must not be ordinary people, so they did not dare to underestimate them.

As soon as the banquet opened, the male guests were entertained in the front yard, and the female relatives were all in the inner courtyard, and everyone ate happily.Fang Xin was in front, and was given a lot of alcohol, and Da Lang and the others helped block the alcohol.Xiaosan showed off her power again, one person could beat several of them, but it didn't make Fang Xin drunk.The feast lasted for a long time, and it was not until the middle of the year that it was almost over. All the adults took their leave one after another. Fang Xin was at the door, sending the adults away, and he breathed a sigh of relief when they all left.Turning around, he said to his two friends: "Ziqian, Binghao, thank you two brothers today, I will prepare wine another day, let's have a good drink."

"Brother, why should you be like this? Between us, you don't have to be so polite. One day, let my sister-in-law cook two dishes, and we brothers will just drink a pot. Well, it's getting late, and we're going back too. A moment in the Spring Festival is worth a thousand dollars." Brother, don't let me down, sister-in-law is still waiting." The man named Binghao said with a smile, and then left with the other.

Fang Xin, Yun Song, and Jin Yu glanced at each other, and then put on a weary smile, "Thank you two brothers-in-law today, otherwise, I would really be too busy."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and see your siblings, don't keep them waiting." Yun Song patted Fang Xin on the shoulder.

Fang Xin stopped talking and walked quickly to the bridal chamber.Entering the house, I saw the bride sitting on the kang, with a veil covering her head, took the scale handed by the bride, raised the veil, and revealed the bride's flowery face below.Next to the bride, the bridal wife brought the wedding wine, Fang Xin sat next to the bride, took the wine glass, and the bride and the bride drank the wine together.Then Xi Niang cut off a small lock of their hair, tied it together with a red string, and put it in a purse.Tie the clothes of the two together again, and then waved their hands, and all the girls in the room withdrew.

Fang Xin saw that everyone had gone out, so she took off her coat and the bride's coat, and tied their clothes together. "Xue'er, today, you are finally my wife." Fang Xin just wanted to go up to kiss his wife, but was pushed away by the bride.As soon as the bride pointed to the closet next to her, Fang Xin went over and opened the door, and with a plop, Xiao Si and Bo Yuan came out of the closet.

Fang Xin saw that there was still an ambush here, so she hurriedly looked around, and found Xiao Wu and Bo Chao in the other side of the cabinet. Fang Xin kicked all four children out, dumbfounded. Turning around, he was about to go to the kang, when he heard voices outside the window, he opened the door again and saw that Dalang and the others, with the few who had just been kicked out, were lying under the window.

Da Lang glared at Xiao San, "It's you, the thick-handed and thick-footed one, did you make any noise? Uncle has already discovered us." Then he walked up to Fang Xin, "Uncle, grandma said, no one It's not good to make a wedding, we just came here, uncle, let's go." After finishing speaking, he dragged everyone and ran away.

Fang Xin shook his head helplessly, locked the door, went back to the house again, got on the kang, and spent his wedding night in his bridal chamber.

The next morning, Wu Shi got up early before Mao Shizhong was reached.The girl has washed and washed the old lady, changed into new clothes, and sat on the kang.Bilian and Fang Shi led the children to the old lady's room, and had breakfast with the old lady.

At the middle of the hour, Fang Xin led the new daughter-in-law to the old lady's house, and everyone saw the appearance of the new daughter-in-law.I saw that she was still wearing a red dress, and the red all over her body made the new daughter-in-law look even more radiant.The complexion is very fair, the face is like a lotus, the eyebrows are like a crescent moon, and she looks dignified and beautiful, which matches Fang Xin very well.The two walked up to the old lady, and the girl on the side brought a cushion, and the husband and wife knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady.After kowtowing, the new daughter-in-law took the tea bowl from the side and got up to offer tea to Mrs. Wu. "Mother, please drink tea."

Wu looked at the new daughter-in-law with a smile, and was also happy in her heart. She quickly took the tea bowl, took a sip, and put it aside.Then he took out a pair of emerald jade bracelets, took the new daughter-in-law's hand, and put them on for her. "Okay, good-looking, young, looks good with everything. I will live a good life with Xin'er in the future. As long as the two of you live well, I will be relieved."
