Chapter 221 Getting Married
Song Yucheng and Bai Mengjin's engagement was handled by the Ministry of Rites, and those dowry gifts were confiscated when the Bai family ransacked the house.

Later, Bai Mengjin led troops to fight, and Song Yucheng left Lin'an in a fit of anger, without taking anything with him.

Now that the two are married, Song Yucheng feels that she has wronged Bai Mengjin, so she wants to make some compensation.

So three days before the wedding, there was supposed to be a make-up gift, but Song Yucheng stunned and sent a betrothal gift of 180 six.

Song Yucheng is the fox king, and he has accumulated an unknown amount of wealth on Fox Island. In order to support Bai Mengjin, he ordered people to take half of his property from Fox Island to use as military pay.

This time, it was considered that all the family assets were moved here, and the 180 six-carats were all gold, silver, jewelry, rare treasures and antiques, which were much better than the original betrothal gift.

The Bai family was naturally happy that Song Yucheng attached so much importance to marriage, but Bai Zongzheng had to say a few words, and felt that Song Yucheng was too ostentatious.

But if you think about it carefully, isn't it the only time in your daughter's life that she gets married?As a matter of course, the wedding should be held in a beautiful manner.

Song Yucheng's kindness was rare, which showed his sincerity to Bai Mengjin, so Bai Zongzheng couldn't say much.

The day before the wedding, several aunts and sister-in-laws of Bai Mengjin led a group of servants to load various furniture and utensils into several carts and sent them to the upper bunk room of Song Yucheng's residence.

This dynasty attaches great importance to the ceremony of making the bed, and it is necessary to invite the Quanfu woman to do it. The so-called Quanfu woman refers to a person who has both parents, in-laws, and children.

It's not easy to find such people, but fortunately, I found a few among the Meng family's wives.

On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, it was the official day for Song Yucheng and Bai Mengjin to get married.

Those who get married are said to salute at dusk, so it is called marriage. It is generally popular among the people to meet relatives in the morning and worship in the church at night.

The White Mansion and the Song Mansion are in the same city, and they are not far apart. Naturally, there is no need to welcome the bride too early. You must give the newlyweds some time to say goodbye to their parents and relatives, and to dress up.

Qin Tianjian specially found out the time for welcoming the bride, and when the time came, Song Yuchen, who was dressed in auspicious red attire, set off from the Song Mansion to the Bai Mansion, accompanied by Jian Shaobai, Zou Mingen and other young generals.

In fact, on the day of the wedding, there are also many grooms who do not go to greet the bride by themselves, but let the matchmaker go, and the groom goes to meet the bride in person to show his importance to the bride.

The drummer played and played all the way in front, and Song Yucheng rode a tall maroon horse, and with a happy face, he kept clapping his hands towards the pedestrians watching the excitement on the side of the road.

Behind him was the steward of the Song Mansion, carrying a basket full of candies and copper coins, throwing a handful from time to time, which attracted many children to scramble for it, and the scene was very lively.

The welcoming team circled the inner city for half a circle before arriving at the gate of the Baifu.

There were people waiting outside the door of the Bai Mansion early on, seeing the welcoming team coming, Bai Wulang and Bai Liulang came out to meet them in person, took the welcoming team into the mansion, and entertained them with a banquet.

At the same time, the colorful silk and satin that had been prepared long ago had to be given to all the people who came to welcome the bride.

After drinking for three rounds, the Bai Mansion began to distribute dowry. Bai Zongzheng originally prepared a dowry of 160 four liters for Bai Mengjin, but now, it is very much.

But a few days ago, Song Yucheng specially sent so many betrothal gifts, the 160 four is not enough.

So the betrothal gift from Song Yucheng was added to the dowry except for the food, so as to ensure the woman's status in the husband's family.

The music officials who came to welcome the bride played music to remind them to make up. Usually, the woman had to be urged three times and invited four times before she could get on the sedan chair, so no one was in a hurry.

The Bianliang White Mansion is basically similar to the Lin'an City White Mansion, and Bai Mengjin's residence is also named Yunxiang Pavilion.

At this moment, the Yunxiang Pavilion is very lively. The Zhao family's sisters-in-law and the women of the Meng family are all there, helping Bai Mengjin to make the final arrangements, for fear that something might be inappropriate.

"It's beautiful, our Xiaoqi looks so hard to find in the sky, and it's hard to find on the ground. Look at this bright red wedding dress, it suits her so well." Meng Cishan's wife Liu Shi praised Bai Mengjin while arranging her skirt.

Generally speaking, when women get married, most of them wear green wedding dresses. That's where men and women come from.

But there are also individual cases where women wear red wedding dresses.This depends on whether the woman is married high or low. If she is married high, she will wear green, and if she is low married, she will wear red.

Bai Mengjin is about to enthroned as emperor, so her status is naturally noble. She definitely cannot wear green when she gets married, so she wears a red wedding dress.

The bright red wedding dress was embroidered with a pattern of birds facing the phoenix. The embroidery was exquisite and vivid, and it matched Bai Mengjin's snow-like complexion and excellent complexion.

On the day of the big wedding, it is essential to put on some makeup. The exquisite makeup looks like a picture of Bai Mengjin's eyebrows, and her facial features are exquisite and beautiful, revealing grace and elegance. She is definitely a rare beauty in the world.

"Qi Niangzi, it's been the third time in the main hall to urge you to make up." The little girl ran in to report with a smile.

After reminding her makeup three times, it's time for Bai Mengjin to say goodbye to her parents and relatives and get married.

Bai Mengjin bowed to several aunts, then held a peacock feather fan, covered her face, and walked out from the inside.

Outside, Bai Zongzheng and the Bai family's sons had been waiting for a long time. Bai Mengjin knelt in front of his father with a feather fan in his hand, and bid farewell to his father. "My son is leaving the cabinet today, father take care."

Bai Zongzheng reached out and touched the flower crown on Bai Mengjin's head, tears almost fell down. "Respectfully, Suye will not disobey my uncle's orders."

After finishing speaking, he helped Bai Mengjin tidy up the corolla, "Mian Zhi respects you, Su Ye is not against your boudoir training."

Of these two sentences, the first sentence was said by the father to the bride, and the second sentence should have been said by the mother, but Bai Mengjin's mother died young, so Bai Zongzheng said the instructions of his father and mother together.

Bai Mengjin's eyes were sour, and tears almost fell down, "I will remember my father's advice, and I dare not forget it." After saying that, she bowed again, and then got up.

Bai Sanlang, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward, carried Bai Mengjin on his back, went out from the Yunxiang Pavilion all the way, came to the main hall, met Song Yucheng, left the Baifu with the wedding team, and sent Bai Mengjin to the bridal sedan chair.

But at this time, the drummers, bearers and others accompanying the wedding did not rush to set off, but clamored for wedding money, which was also a rule, and called Yanzi.

Song Yucheng's side had already made preparations, and someone immediately sent wedding money, and then the welcoming team set off, whistling all the way around the inner city and then returning half a circle.

Bai Mengjin was carried by eight people in the bridal sedan chair. The eight porters had a tacit understanding with each other, and they carried it very smoothly. Bai Mengjin sat in it very steadily and didn't feel tired at all.

Bianliang City is so big, it would take a while to go around half a circle. Bai Mengjin sat in the sedan chair and couldn't see what was going on outside, so she had to wait patiently.

After a while, the sedan chair stopped and fell to the ground, and Bai Mengjin understood that this was the Song Mansion.

Sure enough, as soon as the sedan chair landed, there was a crackling sound, and then the sedan chair curtain was lifted. Song Yucheng didn't use Xi Niang to step forward, and came to help Bai Mengjin get off the sedan chair.

But at this time, the people in the entourage and the relatives of the man stopped him, asking for wedding money and gifts, etc. This is also a custom, called blocking the door.

This side has been prepared a long time ago, so someone came forward to present gifts and money, and then let Song Yucheng and his wife come in.
