Chapter 236: Xie Yuanlang's Wedding

Lin Yanchao read the letter, Lin Yan just introduced himself to the same year that he was good friends, but Lin Yanchao knew that Shen Shixing would become the first assistant in the future. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoLin has paved a way for himself, but how to go depends on himself.

Taking care of each other's children in the Nian family is a common practice in the officialdom and an unspoken rule, but the Nian family is only a relationship, and whether it can be successful or not depends on oneself. For example, the reason why Li Hongzhang was able to become a famous minister after that, Zeng Guofan was a helper, mainly relying on his own efforts.

If the mud can't support the wall, let alone the Nian family, it's useless to own the son.

Lin Yanchao thought of this, and wrote back to Lin Yan.

In the letter, he first reported on the work and life of his students in this period, such as his own practice according to the calligraphy method explained by the teacher, and he was diligent every day, and he took another solid step towards the road of Confucianism.

The following is to work hard to pat Lin Hydros on the back, the disciples can have today's achievements, they are all cultivated by the teacher, teacher, you are in the prefect of Suzhou, no matter how hard you work, you must also know how to take care of your body and so on. There is a saying that there are real feelings in sycophants.

Then I was about to get married, and I asked the teacher for blessings.

Finally, I don't plan to go to Beijing to catch the exam for the time being, saying that I don't believe in learning, I can't do it', I decided to retreat and learn it first, and after honing my Dacheng, I will enter Beijing next year or the year after that, and I will meet Lord Shen Shixing at that time.

After writing the letter to Lin Hydrone, Lin Yanchao personally took the letter and sent it to the Lin Mansion, and they would help him transfer it to Lin Hydrone.

When I went to the Lin Mansion, I couldn't help but pay a visit to the old man Lin Tingji, and personally sent him a post. Lin Tingji smiled and said to Lin Yanchao that although people will not arrive, the ceremony will definitely arrive.

Of course, Lin Yanchao is just doing his best, and Lin Tingji, a top second-class master, is still not moving. As for the other Shangshu of the Lin family, Lin Xuan, the elder brother of the teacher Lin Yan. Needless to say, since the second year of Wanli, he has been pressed by Zhang Juzheng at home and can't get up, and he won't go if he invites him.

In addition, Lin Shibi and Lin Shisheng also sent posts one by one, and they all joked with Lin Yanchao with a smile, this is a big Dengke and a small Dengke. And promised to definitely go.

After that, Lin Yanchao's marriage went on as scheduled, during which Lin Yanchao didn't run any errands, the uncle, the third uncle was outside, the eldest aunt, and the third aunt were busy throughout the whole process.

Because the old man Lin Gaozhu demanded that the marriage be done completely in accordance with the Ming media's marriage, Lin Qianqian was sent back to Cheng's house two days before the wedding. When Lin Qianqian arrived at Cheng's house, he repeatedly told Lin Yanchao before leaving that he must remember to come and pick up his relatives. Don't be late!

Lin Yanchao was also drunk when he heard this, and said casually: "I'll talk about it then, and I'll talk about it later." ”

Lin Qianqian stomped his feet and said, "Then I won't go." ”

The following processes are done in accordance with the local customs of Fujian.

On the day before the wedding, the Lin family sent half of the dowry to the woman's house, commonly known as the first half of the ceremony. According to Lin Gao's meaning, Cheng Yuanwai gave the Lin family two shops as a dowry, and the Lin family should not be stingy. The dowry is also given according to the value of the two shops.

In addition to the dowry, there is also a meeting gift for the woman's elders. For example, for grandmothers, it is called Ma Gong in the local dialect. For the mother, it is called the milk bar, and for the uncle, it is called the uncle bar. But no matter how much the bride price is, it's still a mother's bar. The milk bar, the uncle bar, and the mantissa must have a three, in order to show good luck.

In addition, the Lin family's side. It is also necessary to send a sedan chair, a golden drum class, a gift book, a door-to-door burden (pork, noodles, longan, chestnuts, peanuts, melon seeds, red dates, flower candles, golden flowers), and a gift chicken to the woman's house. The female family returns to give the gift chicken a together, and the chicken is tied with a three-foot-three red rope, commonly known as 'red line bondage'.

On the eve of Lin Yanchao's wedding, the Lin Mansion was so lively that night.

In the same year that Lin Yanchao invited him, his classmates and relatives from his hometown all came to the house and first entertained him with big fish and meat.

Relatives in my hometown came to help, and as for fellow villagers, in the same year, my classmates accompanied Lin Yanchao to pick up their relatives on the second day.

Early the next morning.

Lin Yanchao is wearing a python robe and a laurel crown, and this groom's dress is the same as when he first ascended to the Yuan Dynasty. The groom and officials all over the world wear it like this, which is the imperial court to encourage civil marriage, allowing the groom to 'trespass' a little in the service, which is the origin of the legend of the big Dengke and the small Dengke.

Lin Yanchao walked out dressed neatly, and all the classmates cheered and applauded loudly.

Lin Yanchao smiled, and a woman in her fifties with a dark face and a happy face came up and said, "Xie Yuanlang, Cuo has congratulated you today." ”

Uncle said on the side: "This is the companion mother, but she is the best mouth in our provincial city." ”

Lin Yanchao suddenly realized that the mother of the companion room is a local dialect, and the general Tan family is played by a woman, playing the role of a bride, and also serving as the enlightenment teacher of the bride and groom, teaching them how to round the house.

The companion's mother smiled and said: "Master Lin, I have been a companion mother for more than 20 years, and this is the first time to be Xie Yuanlang's companion mother, what an honor." ”

Big Birch said, "Why is that? Don't they look down on you? ”

The companion's mother said with a smile: "Lin Guanren doesn't know, many of those old men and fathers are only talented after getting married, how can you be so young?" ”

Uncle suddenly realized.

Below, Lin Yanchao made incense at home, and under the gaze of relatives and friends, he ate a bowl of Taiping noodles and two Taiping eggs, and went out at the beginning.

As soon as he went out, the firecrackers were put up, and the people who received the relatives could be described as mighty.

The lantern is high in front, the flag is raised, the lantern is written with the name of the ancestor, and several gold plates, this gold plate is written on the "Ding Chou Year Fujian Township Trial Solution Yuan", "Bingzi Year Fuzhou Mansion Trial Case First", "Filial Piety", "Virtuous and Fangzheng" and so on, there are really many hanging signs.

This column walked majestically in front, on the left and right were the golden gongs and drums, and there was a Shiban team, Lin Yanchao was wearing a groom's clothes, riding a white horse, accompanied by his mother leading the way, and there were flower pickers, Lidan and Caidan.

In addition, Lin Yanchao's lineup is also very strong, and his fellow villagers include Hou Zhongshu, Zhang Haoyuan, Zhang Songming and others are Lin Yanchao's friends when he was in social studies.

In the same year, there were Weng Zhengchun, Chen Cai, Chen Yiyu, etc., all of whom were classmates in the Lin Yanchao Township Trial Institute and the House Examination.

In addition to Gong Zinan, Ye Xianggao, Chen Yinglong, Huang Biyou, Chen Wencai, Yu Qingzhou, Zhu Xiangwen, Zhou Pingzhi and others all came. In addition, Lin Yanchao's fellow villagers, not to mention, a team of two or three hundred people walked out of Dengyingfang Lane.

With the sound of gongs and drums, the procession of receiving relatives attracted the bystanders of the people in the city.

When the people looked at the gold plate in front of them, they all said: "Xie Yuanlang got married today!" ”

"yes!"

The people were amazed, and they were envious of which girl was so good! (To be continued.) )
