The golden boy and girl are placed on the table, and it is the best mascot.

The core of the wedding is a two-step process, one is to prostrate and the other is to tie the hair and drink together.

These two steps are very time-conscious, before the wedding time arrives, there are generally a lot of impromptu activities, such as the groom with an arrow in his mouth, riding in the saddle, and then the mother-in-law to invite the groom to get off the saddle, generally toasting, the groom drank three glasses of wine from the mother-in-law, before leaving the saddle.

This event signifies that the groom is prioritizing state affairs, but also taking care of his family.

Then the groom then saluted the father-in-law's wine, please get up to sit in the saddle, if the father-in-law does not get up, he has to punish himself for drinking, the punishment of a few glasses is decided by the guests, many grooms are drunk in this link, most of the father-in-law and mother-in-law feel sorry for the son-in-law, generally will not deliberately make it difficult.

But this kind of impromptu activity is dispensable, the key is to look at the time, if the auspicious time for the wedding has arrived, the activity has to be stopped halfway through.

The master of ceremonies shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has come, I will stop talking nonsense, and the groom will lead out the bride!" ”

The master of ceremonies handed one end of the red silk to Guo Song, Guo Song pulled slowly, and Xue Tao, who was holding the red ribbon at the other end, was pulled out, she was a little shy, she didn't dare to look up, and the two of them each pulled a red silk end, and there was a huge concentric knot in the middle.

The master of ceremonies said with a smile: "This is called a thousand miles of marriage, and from now on we will always be concentric people, please pay homage to the two of you, and worship heaven and earth!" ”

The master of ceremonies shouted, Guo Song and Xue Tao knelt down in front of the big red character and bowed down together.

"Second worship high hall!"

The two knelt down to Xue Xun and Han Shi to bow again, and then knelt down to Guo Ziyi and Aunt Gongsun to bow again.

"The third prostrations are husband and wife!"

The two knelt down and bowed to each other.

"Please tie your hair and drink the wine!"

Two children, a man and a woman, each came forward with a plate, one with a jug of wine and the other with a cucumber.

Guo Ziyi walked up, and he said to everyone: "Old husband Guo Ziyi, today I have the honor to witness the marriage of a couple, the groom Guo Song is the grandson of my clan, and the bride Xue is also everyone's girlfriend, today is the day when the two officially become husband and wife, I ask my mother-in-law to come forward to tie the hair for the two newlyweds." ”

Han walked up, cut off a strand of his daughter's hair with scissors, and cut a strand of long hair for Guo Song, knotted the hair of the two and put it on the plate, this is the meaning of the couple.

Guo Ziyi also cut open the cucumber, the gourd inside had been hollowed out in advance, he lifted the wine jug and filled the two cloves of melon with wine, and said with a smile: "This is a joint wine, after drinking this wine, you will officially become husband and wife, respect each other!" ”

Xue Tao picked up a petal of melon and handed it to Guo Song, Guo Song took the melon petal and drank the wine, he picked up another petal of melon and saluted Xue Tao, Xue Tao took it shyly and drank it slowly.

Guo Ziyi laughed loudly: "As a witness, I officially declare the two of you to become husband and wife!" ”

The tent erupted in applause.

The master of ceremonies said loudly: "The wedding is over, please enter the account of the newlyweds." ”

A small tent has been set up in the big tent, the newlyweds enter the small tent and sit down, two boys stand aside with candy and flower trays, the guests line up, grab flowers and candy and sprinkle on the small tent, and wish the newlyweds a hundred years of good together, early birth of a noble son, after a circle, the guests left the Qinglu directly, said goodbye and returned home, Guo Ying and Zhang Lei were responsible for sending off the guests outside.

The master of ceremonies also left, except for a pair of children in the Qinglu, there was no one else, Xue Tao whispered: "Husband, let's go out!" ”

The two came out hand in hand, and the two children stepped forward and saluted, "Please follow us into the cave room!" ”

Two children lit lanterns in front of them and slowly walked towards the cave room in the back house with the newlyweds.

The lights in the cave room have been lit, Ah Qiu and Xiao Yu Niang stood at the door, Ah Qiu bowed and said: "The cave room has been checked, no one is hiding!" ”

Guo Song said with a smile: "You also rest early, take the two children out, and give them ten taels of silver each." ”

The two children left with a thousand thanks, Guo Song and Xue Tao entered the courtyard, Guo Song locked the door, and said with a smile: "Enter the cave room according to the etiquette of our hometown!" ”

"What etiquette?"

Guo Song picked up Xue Tao's leg and hugged him horizontally, Xue Tao screamed in fright, Ah Qiu asked nervously outside the door, "Girl, what's wrong?" ”

Xue Tao glanced at Guo Song, and hurriedly said, "It's nothing, you go!" ”

The little fish girl pulled Ah Qiu, "You are so stupid!" What are you still doing here, hurry up! ”

Ah Qiu's face turned red and followed Xiao Yuniang in a hurry.

Guo Song carried Xue Tao into the cave room, lit it in the cave room, and packed up a table of wine and food, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time, the two of them were still hungry from noon to now?

"Husband, let me down, I'll serve you."

Guo Song put down his wife and hugged her into his arms, and the two kissed tightly.

The two were separated for a long time, and at this time, Guo Song couldn't care about eating, so he picked up Xue Tao and walked to the back room.........

The sky was slightly bright, Xue Tao who was lying in her husband's arms suddenly woke up, last night's crazy situation made her feel shy, overnight, she was also promoted from a girl to a young woman, she remembered her mother's advice, the second day of the wedding must be earlier than her husband, she sat up quietly, just about to reach out to get the dirty clothes, but Guo Song hugged her waist and pulled into the bed......

The spring breeze was another time, and Xue Tao punched him in the shoulder, "It's necrotic, if I don't get up again, I will be laughed at by others!" ”

"What's the joke?" Guo Song asked with a grin.

"Joke..... I'm a lazy woman, and my in-laws will be dissatisfied! ”

"There are no in-laws here, and no one dares to laugh at you, it's not completely dawn yet, let's sleep for a while!"

Xue Tao thought about it, there were only herself and her husband in this big mansion, she comfortably shrunk into the quilt, lying in her husband's arms, after a while, she found that something was wrong, and said with a red face: "You villain, endlessly, I have to get up, I want to inspect my territory and see where I can do my study, I still have a lot of books that have not been moved over!" ”

Guo Song sat up and said with a smile: "Do you want me to accompany you?" ”

Xue Tao saw that Ai Lang didn't ask for it again, and his heart was happy, so he glanced at him and said coquettishly: "Of course you want to accompany me!" ”

Guo Song saw that her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, her charm was infinite, and her delicate body was as white as mutton fat, he couldn't help it anymore, and dragged her into the quilt again......

It wasn't until half an hour later that the two walked out of the courtyard hand in hand.

opened the courtyard door, but found Ah Qiu standing at the door, she blushed and whispered: "The old lady told me, according to the rules, I will clean up the cave room for the newcomer." ”

The marrying maid was called the maid in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Ming and Qing dynasties were called the maid in the room, which was more common in the wealthy families and eunuchs, she generally lived next door to the master's bedroom, and the master's bedroom was connected, responsible for serving the husband and wife at night, and the general husband and wife would not avoid her when they had sex, and most of the maids in the room would eventually become concubines, just like Ping'er in the dream of Red Mansions.

However, yesterday was the night of candles in the cave room, and Ah Qiu still had to avoid it, but after this night, she was going to move in with her.

"Hmmm! What about the little fish girl? ”

"She seems to have gone out, and said to take a look around the garden."

Xue Tao nodded, "You go get a bucket of hot water, we have to freshen up." ”

Ah Qiu hurriedly went to fetch hot water, and after a while, she brought two maids from the inner house, carrying two large buckets of hot water, Ah Qiu went to the cave room to clean up, Xue Tao and Guo Song freshened up in the living room next door, and the two maids combed their husband and wife's hair.

In addition to Ah Qiu, there are a total of five maids in the inner house, with Chun as the surname, respectively called Meilan Zhuju, and another person called Guo'er, who is very stout, she is a rough girl, mainly doing some rough and dirty work, such as emptying the toilet in the morning, sweeping the floor, and so on.

The two maids who combed the hair of Guo Song and his wife were called Chunmei and Chunlan, they are currently fourteen years old, and they are generally seventeen years old, and Guo Song will let them go out of the house to marry.

After washing, the other two maids, Chunzhu and Chunju, brought them breakfast, which was a thick porridge of fine white rice, accompanied by vegetarian steamed buns or mutton hu cakes, and a few fresh and delicious side dishes, as well as a plate of tofu.

Xue Tao gave Guo Song a bowl of porridge and said with a smile: "The element steamed bun still needs Hu cake." ”

"Of course it's meatloaf, I tasted it, and I'm meatless now."

Xue Tao kicked him under the table, and glared at him hatefully, what is this guy talking nonsense, there are a few maids next to him!

Guo Song smiled, rolled up the meatloaf and ate it.

"Husband, tell me about your plans for the next few days!" Xue Tao asked as he took a sip of hot porridge.

While eating cakes, Guo Song looked up and thought: "Today and tomorrow are familiar with the new house, I will accompany you back to the door the day after tomorrow, and take a day off the day after tomorrow, and then I want to take you to Jingyang County." ”

"What are you going to do in Jingyang County?" Xue Tao asked puzzled.

"Go to my manor! I have a manor covering an area of 100 hectares, which was given to me by the first emperor after the battle of the Central Plains, and I went to Bashu after I came back, and I have not been there once. ”

Xue Tao nodded, she was born in a family of eunuchs, and she was not surprised by the manor, her father also had a job field of 100 acres of land, and he also had an income of more than 100 yuan a year, which was part of the fortune.

"What about the in-laws? Do you want to build a spiritual seat for them? Xue Tao asked again.

Guo Song was a little big, this matter was really troublesome, he didn't know how to explain, he was silent for a long time, Guo Song said: "There is a custom in Lingzhou, you can't build a spiritual seat outside your hometown, it seems like this." ”

Xue Tao listened to her husband in this matter, she didn't continue to ask in detail, she said again: "It seems that my husband has an eldest sister!" Why not look for her? ”

"I've asked Liang Wu's uncle to go to find it, and if there is any news, he will inform me in time."

After breakfast, Xue Tao smiled at Guo Song and said, "I haven't seen many places in the mansion, so my husband will accompany me to take a look." ”

Guo Song smiled: "Let's start with the kitchen. ”

The two came to the outer mansion, and happened to meet Steward Wang, who hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "The old slave sees the envoy, see the lady!" ”

Before Guo Song got married, the housekeeper called him Gongzi, or the envoy, and called Xue Tao Miss Xue, once he became married, he had to change his name, and if the young master was an ordinary person, he would be called Da Lang, and the main mother would be called the eldest lady, but Guo Song had a high-ranking official, or continued to call the envoy, and the main mother was called Mrs., this is because she will soon have a fate.

Guo Song nodded, "You gather all the subordinates, I have something to say to them." ”
