Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 142

Xiao Wencong, who had been hinted for a long time ago, immediately took out two heavy red silk purses from a tray in the hands of a servant, poked his head in and said, "Little brothers and sisters, be good, come down, I have something interesting for you here." Oh." As he spoke, he waved the exquisitely embroidered purse in his hand.

The sedan chair girl Liu Ziling met Xiao Wencong in the past two days, and when she saw him coaxing her to get off the sedan chair, she said solemnly: "You write me a poem about summer, and I will get off the sedan chair."

Didn't the child who pressed the sedan chair receive a red envelope from the bride's family, and after being praised a few times, he would give up the sedan chair and let the bride get on the sedan chair?Poetry on the spot?Who told her to do this?The prime minister's grandfather?This is obviously to test Xiao Wencong.Although he has some talents, he is only 11 years old.

Everyone looked at Xiao Wencong worriedly.

Xiao Wencong frowned and thought for a while, then thought: "Half a pool of powdered lotus root and half a pool of fragrance, the reflection of the thatched pavilion enters the small pond. The beaded curtain rolls and the breeze blows, and the green leaves are like clothes."

"it is good."

As soon as he finished reading, Liu Hanlin praised it loudly.As soon as he praised, others immediately applauded and greeted him.

Xiao Wencong handed a purse to Liu Ziling.Liu Ziling took it over with a smile, and said, "Uncle Xiao, you are so smart." After speaking, she ran out of the big red sedan chair.

The boy who was left in the sedan chair, the youngest son of brother Ling Yuxuan, the bridegroom, was a little panicked, and hurriedly said, "I'll come down if you make another Xia poem."

Xiao Wencong had no choice but to think again.Everyone was waiting for him, and the scene was quiet.Although it was not the first time that people watched like this, it was the first time for Xiao Wencong to be under such pressure.He was tense, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Seeing this, the groom Ling Yuxuan said, "Jing Yuan, come down and let your aunt get on the sedan chair."

Xiao Wencong immediately said: "Brother-in-law, wait a minute, I'll think about the poem again." It was still a little short.

Hearing what he said, others knew that he had already made up his mind, so they continued to wait. After a while, Xiao Wencong read: "There is no need to hate Fangfei, Jasmine is raising people on the wall. Huangmei apricot is light in the wind and rain, and the roses are full of fragrance."

"You are indeed the head of the boy genius test case in Xiling County this year." Liu Hanlin praised in surprise, and said to the boy in the sedan chair, "Jing Yuan, come down. You will learn from your aunt's younger brother when you have the opportunity."

"Yes, Uncle Six." Ling Jingyuan nodded repeatedly, took the kit from Xiao Wencong, and quickly ran out of the sedan chair.

Both the girl and the boy who pressed the sedan chair gave up the wedding ceremony, the gongs and drums were beating immediately, and the trumpet and suona were ticking.Xi Niang said loudly: "The bride is getting into the sedan chair—" She and the dowry maid, Lu E, helped the bride to sit in the sedan chair from left to right, then lowered the curtain of the sedan chair, and shouted: "Get up on the sedan chair—"

The incident that happened in front of Liu's mansion was immediately reported to everyone in the prime minister's mansion.The guests who were waiting for the groom to pick up the bride were talking about it.In ancient times, many famous teenagers were extremely intelligent and were called geniuses. Will this young genius of the Xiao family have a chance to be famous in history in the future?
There was a faint sound of drum music in the distance, and people began to gather at the gate of the prime minister's mansion. A servant of the prime minister's mansion squeezed through the crowd, ran to the prime minister sitting in front of the flower hall, and passed on the groom's words to the prime minister.

After hearing this, the prime minister supported his gray beard and said, "I see."

Several officials who sat in the flower hall with the prime minister smiled and said: "Prime Minister, Ling Tongzhi still loves his brother-in-law." Just now the servant followed the groom to greet the bride, and now he rushed back to pass on the groom's words: his brother-in-law grew up in In the countryside of Xiling, he is too young to experience big scenes, so please don't test him any more.

"Saplings, you need to take care of them carefully." The prime minister smiled, and sent someone to the backyard to send a message that the bride and groom were about to pay their respects, and the wives were invited to watch the ceremony in the flower hall in the front yard.

Getting off the sedan chair... Attracting praise, the groom kicks the sedan chair door, the groom bows and bows his hands to invite the bride to get off the sedan chair, the bride and the dowry maid help the bride out of the red sedan chair.The bridegroom and the bride enter the small family ancestral hall in the front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion together.The prime minister, his third son, and his two grandsons were already standing in the ancestral hall, behind them were the old servants of the mansion.

The prime minister burned incense and worshiped his ancestors, and told them that his youngest son Ling Yuxuan married the daughter of the Xiao family in Xiling today, and prayed to his ancestors to bless them to grow old and grandchildren.

After the prime minister bowed down, Ling Yuxuan led Xiao Wenqing to kneel in front of the spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Ling family.An old servant handed the lit sandalwood to Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing respectively.Ling Yuxuan held the three sticks of incense high over his head, told his ancestors that he was getting married today, and prayed for them to bless the love between their husband and wife and the safety of their home.Then he kowtowed respectfully.

Ling Yuxuan kowtowed, and Xiao Wenqing kowtowed along with him.The ancestral hall is a forbidden place for women. The only time a woman can enter the ancestral hall is when she goes to the ancestral hall of her husband's family to worship her ancestors on the day of marriage and let the ancestors recognize herself.

After the bride paid homage to her husband's ancestors, she was led out by the groom, supported by the bride and the dowry maid, and worshiped heaven and earth with the groom.

"A worship of heaven and earth..."

"Second worship high hall..."

"Husband and wife worship each other and send them to the bridal chamber..."

After the ancient ritual of worshiping heaven and earth, the groom leads the bride at the other end of the wedding belt into his new house slowly.
