……………………
At the moment of the hour, the sun rises in the east, the purple air rises, such as the dragon flying, after a shout, the middle door of the Hou Mansion is wide open, the team of greeting relatives holds high the flag, the drums and trumpets are ringing, and the mighty go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to marry the bride!
The current opening of the road is the 'women's army', Xiao Jing, Lu Ling'er, Zhao Yu, Daoxiang lined up, wearing black, white, red, green four-color clothing, high on the horse, full of charm, behind three hundred beautiful girls, white horses under the crotch, wearing red makeup, between walking, the fragrance is gusting, penetrating the heart!
Three hundred young girls marched forward in formation, leading the way for their heads, but it was a beautiful young man, Guo Yi was wearing a green robe, wearing a green scarf, holding a green flag, riding on a green-maned horse, holding his chest up, showing a mouthful of small white teeth, it was really ugly to laugh than crying, as an absolute minority in the 'women's army', the object of bullying, his days can be imagined......
Followed by the six hundred pro-soldiers of the Hou Mansion, all dressed in Xuan armor, riding on a black horse, holding a cold and shining blade in one hand, and holding high the ink-colored 'greedy wolf flag' in the other, murderous and majestic, looking at their appearance, it didn't look like they were going to greet their relatives at all, but to rob their relatives!
Xiao Yi, as the protagonist of the wedding, naturally walked in the middle of the team, wearing a ghost-faced helmet, wearing a cold iron armor, covered with a red auspicious suit, slashing the sword at the waist, after grooming and dressing, he wiped a layer of fat powder on his little face, which looked extraordinarily energetic, but the groom official in full body dress has been extremely rare throughout the ages!
The 'cabbage' has also been brushed clean, replaced with a brand new saddle, bridle head, bridle, mighty bell, draped in a red blanket, shaking its head and tail, extremely handsome, as a good brother of the groom's officer, it has to undertake an important task today - to carry the bride through the door!
In the end, there were 400 attendants, all of whom were eight feet tall and strong men with big shoulders and round waists, except for the four who were responsible for holding the flag, and the rest of the four people were in a group, carrying vermilion lacquer boxes, which were full of rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and ......, as a bride price for welcoming relatives, a total of ninety-nine boxes!
In the eyes of the ancients, one hundred is the number of the heavens, and mortals cannot use it, so among the various rituals, ninety-nine is the highest number, which also represents the meaning of eternity, which is very auspicious and likable!
"Woohoo! --Ghost-faced Xiao Lang marries, civil and military officials give way! ”
"Knock knock! --The god of killing the world is here, and the ghosts and gods of the Quartet are avoided! ”
……………………………………
The brigade of people and horses is mighty, ten steps forward, a shout, the sound of the four fields, the momentum is soaring, the officials and people along the way, vehicles have avoided, all know that today is the day of the 'ghost face Xiao Lang' marriage, no one dares to stop the team to welcome the family!
People gave way to the road, the greeting team also had to say, the three hundred women who opened the road, all carrying gifts on horseback, they moved forward to open the way, while throwing gold particles, silver barley, five-bead money, ......, the onlookers were scrambling, while cheering, for them, today is a good day for wealth!
The welcoming team walked out of Baihu Street, and went around along the streets and alleys of Xuchang, so that the people in the city had seen it, and then turned the horse's head and came to Zhuque Street - Prime Minister's Mansion, ready to marry the newlyweds!
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
Cao Cheng married his daughter, Da Sima married his wife, joined forces, and concluded a marriage, for the Han Dynasty, it was also a major event that stirred up the world, and the civil and military officials and scholars came to congratulate each other, and the carriages loaded with gifts were one by one, stretching for more than ten miles!
The princes of the Quartet did not dare to slack off, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Sun Ce, Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang, ......, willing or unwilling, even if they hated Cao Cao and Xiao Yi in their hearts, they had to send messengers at this time to congratulate the wedding and send countless treasures, sweet words, they knew in their hearts that the traitorous male had become a traitor, and they had to kill God to help, and the power of the world was probably about to fall into the hands of this pair of sons-in-law!
"Please get off the horse and get started drinking!"
"Please get off the horse and get started drinking!"
…………………………………………
The groom dismounts and drinks to get started, which is an ancient rule, generally speaking, the woman toasts to show welcome, the groom drinks, shows sincerity, if the amount of alcohol is not enough, you can let the surname of the clan do it for you, after drinking, you can start to marry the bride!
This kind of etiquette, not only entertaining, but also can increase the feelings of the two clansmen, indicating the conclusion of the marriage relationship, very popular with the subjects of the Han family, of course, in the drinking, there is also a hidden meaning of comparison!
The way of marriage, pay attention to the right door, between a respect and a drink, all the people of both clans show up, compare the number of people with each other, and the level of official positions, which can be regarded as a kind of healthy competition, but the dismounted wine set up by the prime minister's mansion is not easy to clear the customs!
As far as the eye can see, the prime minister's mansion is full of Cao clans, all wearing dresses, holding wine bowls, waiting to give the groom a 'dismount wine', for Xiahoudun and Cao Hong, they pulled out the whole clan of men, both white old men, and runny naughty boys, a total of two or three hundred people!
Xiahou clan and Cao clan are all famous clans, people are prosperous, there are many clansmen, it is not surprising to put on such a formation, relatively, the situation of the Xiao clan is miserable, the genealogy is famous: Xiao Yi himself, sister Xiao Jing, daughter Xiao Xuan, plus Zhelan's belly, there are only four people, and there is only one man, who is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, such a competition, there is almost no chance of winning!
"Please Xiao Lang dismount, drink this bowl of wine, and we will be a family in the future, and we will conclude a marriage, regardless of each other!"
Xiahoudun and Cao Hong took a step forward, holding the wine bowl in their hands, their faces were full of thick smiles, they all knew that Xiao Yi's massive amount was amazing, but it was difficult for the tiger to fight the wolves, no matter how much one person could drink, he couldn't stop them from hundreds of clansmen!
In fact, they don't want to get drunk with the groom, if they do this, the bride behind them will not agree, they just give Xiao Yi a 'dismount', let him know the power of the Cao clan, don't bully the bride in the future!
Besides, if you can't drink wine, you will beg for mercy, let the dignified 'ghost face Xiao Lang' bow his head, and obediently call his uncle, that's a big face!
"The clansmen toast, how can there be a reason not to drink, but is it, it is too time-consuming to drink one by one, and it is not good to delay the auspicious time, or drink it all, it is more pleasant, come to people, take the bronze tripod to ......"
Xiao Yi is such a smart person, he naturally understands that this is a test for himself, but he is outnumbered and his strength is very different, if he wants to get started smoothly, he must be brave and strategic!
In the bride price of welcoming relatives, there is a square bronze tripod, weighing five or six hundred catties, engraved with mountains and rivers, flowers, birds, fish and insects, exquisite workmanship, simple texture, this is the battle of Shouchun, from Yuan Shu's pseudo-palace to get it, it was the wedding night, used to suppress evil spirits, and now it just comes in handy!
"Roar! …… Roar! ”
At the sound of an order, four strong men walked out of the team, shouted the trumpet, and with all their strength, carried out the bronze tripod, put it in front, and asked everyone to pour the wine into it and let the groom drink it!
"Hehe, what a giant ding, in that case, please Xiao Lang drink to get started!"
Xiahoudun and Cao Hong led the clansmen, stepped forward in turn, and poured the wine into the ding, more than two hundred bowls of spirits, just filled with bronze ding, not to mention two or three hundred catties, I don't believe that Xiao Yi can drink it!
"The marriage of Cao and Xiao, a match made in heaven, the first sip of wine, first respect the sky and the earth...... Rise! ”
Xiao Yi stepped forward, supported the foot with his left hand, shouted, and lifted the bronze tripod up, and at the same time, his right hand slammed the tripod body, splashing a large amount of wine, and throwing it into the sky, the power was amazing!
"I don't have to worry about marrying a good wife, relying on the power of the gods, the second sip of wine, to the gods of the four directions...... Rise! ”
"Today's marriage, the guests are like clouds, you can't be disrespectful, the third sip of wine, toast to all the guests...... Rise! ”
As he spoke, Xiao Yi slapped two palms on Ding's body in a row, and spit out with all his strength, and the wine inside splashed in all directions, constantly overflowing, like a fountain......
After three blows, there was not much wine left in the bronze tripod, Xiao Yi turned around the tripod, drank it all, and threw it to the ground, the gas did not grow, and the face did not change color, showing the majesty of the man!
"Good! Good! --Xiao Lang holds the tripod with one hand, and sacrifices wine to heaven and earth, with both the courage of the overlord and the wisdom of the unparalleled, he is really a hero of the world! ”
Seeing this scene, thunderous cheers sounded all around, there was no shortage of generals among the guests, it is not difficult for them to lift the tripod, but if the weight is light, the giant tripod is used as a wine glass, then it can't be done at all, which requires more than 1,000 catties of strength, and enough skills to do it!
"Coax! --Prosperous! Prosperous! ”
The power of God is so great, everyone admires, the Cao clan obediently gave way to the road, the middle door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was wide open, and a red carpet went straight to the back house...... In the next level, what will Xiao Yat encounter?
