The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 97

It was almost dusk, and Chu Xu and his party came to Huaishu alley happily. Because the alley was narrow, a group of men and women got off their horses and poured into the alley, shouting, and Caiyu also slowly drove to the gate of Shijia.

Someone from Shi's family was watching the wind at the entrance of the alley, and saw a group of bright and beautiful men coming from a distance, riding tall horses with red flowers on their heads, they guessed it, and ran back quickly.At this time, seeing that it was indeed the one who was welcoming the relatives, he ran away by himself, and went back to report the letter to collect the reward money!

The Shi family was decorated with lanterns and festoons at this time, red silk cloth had been hung in the three courtyards, bright red happy characters were pasted on each door and wall, and there were pots of bright chrysanthemums decorated everywhere in the courtyard. The entire Shijia is even more colorful.

The deacons and stewards in the mansion, the servants, maids, and mother-in-law are all dressed in new clothes, with red silk around their waists, and come and go with joyful faces. Just wait for the deacon's order.

The gate of celebration was closed tightly at this time, but there were already many daughters-in-law and maids standing inside the gate, each of them was holding a long dark brown stick, and the maids were still muttering: "I heard from the deacon, who beats the most today?" , the rewards are more..."

"Then I'll have to hit it right, beating the groom is worth more than beating the best man, hehehe..." The girl's words caused a burst of laughter.

Chu Xu looked at the closed door, and thought in his heart that he couldn't escape the beating, but why did he have to suffer by himself.

At this time, Chu Xun, who was the envoy, waved his hand, "Play the music!" Immediately, drums and music blared outside the gate of the Shi family, followed by the song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" which was not bad.

With the lingering sound of the drums, Chu Xun and Chu Zhuo led the men and yelled loudly: "Bride, come out! Bride, come out!" These rough men shouted so loudly that they were earth-shattering.

Shi Chuying's hearing is extraordinary, and she has heard the movement outside, but at this moment, she is also a little apprehensive and expectant.But Li San's wife and others are still checking her makeup at this time, patching up here and fluttering there.Shi Chuying said to herself, it is not impossible to frighten Chu Xu unconscious even if she is more blunt.

Chu Xu has been calling outside the gate for a long time, and at this time he is shouting the poem to open the door: "... Heard the king's high-sounding words, so we come here to agree with each other. My fair lady, the gentleman is so good."

Another daughter-in-law responded at the door: "...It's hard to send a guest, and the deer insults the brocade bed. Please get off the horse and discuss it slowly." Although the words were good for discussion, the door was still closed. At this time, Chu Xu was also sweating a little. The guard brothers were all military generals, and the Shi family was not a literati, so why did they come out to do wet work?What can I do?
Thanks to Chu Xun for his insight, he immediately waved his hand, "Read it again!"

Immediately, Chu Qing who was beside him stretched out a stack of papers from his sleeve, oh, everyone is relieved, it turned out that they were already prepared.And Chu Xun wiped his sweat secretly at this time. Fortunately, Chu Wei, a treacherous old man, asked him to prepare this in advance, saying that it was just in case, so he specially told Chu Qing who was still studying to prepare it. , I checked it before going out, so it’s time to use it!
Chu Qing is happy, he is about to reach the crown, and as a concubine, he is showing his face a lot, so he unfolded the paper and read aloud:
"The cypress is Nanshan cypress, and will be the front door in the future.

The forehead is always there, and the woman is a temporary visitor. "

At this time, there was a burst of laughter from the door, and the door opened to both sides with a clatter, Chu Xu slammed into it, and the sons behind followed suit, shouting to pick up the bride.It's just that before they could finish their joy, there was a burst of big sticks crackling and smashing down on their heads and faces.

Although I also know that there is a custom of beating the groom with sticks, but it is not certain at which door the beating is. Some beating when the door is opened, just like today, some are not beating until the last door, and most of them are near the back. So many people were unprepared at this time, and they couldn't use their skills to resist for a while, and they were a little dizzy after being smashed.

Chu Xu was the first to be hit a few times, and instinctively wanted to fight back, but immediately thought that today was the wedding ceremony, so he immediately put down his defense, and took several hard hits, but he was not stupid, and after a few hits, he started to fight back. Dodge to the right and hide behind the bridesmaid, you can't be knocked crooked and your robes messed up, right?How can the groom be in a mess? .

A couple of bridesmaids saw each other's sticks break after a few hits, and they took a look, oh, it turned out to be sugar cane!Well, sugar cane is also a rare commodity in the capital this season, and it is actually used to beat the groom?What's more, the meddlesome person took advantage of the chaos to pick up a piece, took a bite, and immediately laughed: "Haha, it really is sugar cane, very sweet!"

As soon as this remark came out, the old and young men stopped hiding immediately, and went straight up to the sugarcane stick, yelling, "Hit here, hit here! Hahahaha!"

After quite a commotion, Chu Xu took advantage of the situation and rushed out with his cronies.After passing all the way and reading Yilianzi's make-up poem, the welcoming team finally arrived outside Shi Chuying's courtyard.

Only at this time did Chu Qing have the chance to scream strangely: "So they also wrote a cheat sheet!" Because one of the poems replied by the other party happened to be in his cheat sheet, and they could be used anyway, so when the other party read it out, he still had the impression that he hurried I found a few lines down, and it really is this song.But I didn't have time to say it at the time, the key is that everyone copied it, so it's useless to say anything, isn't it?Who is making fun of who!
Hahaha, Chu Xu was even happier when he heard it, he was thicker-skinned than anyone else, and his family Yingying was definitely ahead.

Now that we have reached the door of the boudoir, the rest depends on the ability of the groom.Chu Xu cleared his throat and said loudly, "Yingying! I'm here to pick you up!"

"Hey~" There was booing, and even the men began to laugh at the groom. Seeing that there was no movement in the boudoir, Chu Xu stretched out his hand to Chu Qing. Although he also read a lot of books, his brain is really not clear today. I didn't feel it either.

Come on, let's copy it.

Chu Xu praised loudly:

"It is rumored that the red powder will be lowered in the candle, and the spring will not be in front of the mirror;

There is no need to make up all over your face, but keep your eyebrows ready for painting. "
