Trouble, Lai San'er is the old man and cronies of the Jianghe Gang, and the hall master of the Qinglong Hall, and now he is also famous in the martial arts, and his wedding is naturally the top priority of the Jianghe Gang.

Since two months ago, Qiu Dali has been personally handling this matter.

In this way, the three hires and six ceremonies are almost the same, and in three days, the media will be married.

In view of Lai San'er's great contribution to the imperial court, Chongzhen also specially rewarded him with a house after hearing the news, three in and three out with a big garden, and now Lai San'er is also Lai Lao at home, and there are dozens of servants alone, not to mention how majestic.

In the past, Lai San'er married Chunhua'er and called the toad and wanted to eat swan meat, but now he is marrying Chunhua'er, and in turn, a lot of people envy Chunhua'er's family, saying that they have cultivated the blessings in their previous life, and Chunhua'er's father Wang Sanfeng now mentions this future son-in-law, his old back can be straight for a long time, and his nostrils are facing the sky when he speaks.

On the sixth day of the seventh month, the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is advisable to marry.

Taiyun Village, Daxing County, Hejian Prefecture, east of Beijing, the whole village is covered with red and green, and it is beaming.

Today is the big day when the queen of the royal family comes out of the pavilion, and more than 30 families in the village are all up before dawn.

There were more than 100 people in the whole village, and the work was arranged the first night: arranging the field, killing pigs and sheep, boiling water and hot pots, washing vegetables and dishes, everything was in order, and the calm col was full of laughter and laughter.

That's not all, the sky has just dawned, and several old officials in the county have also arrived in a hurry.

What are they doing?

This wedding has already caused a sensation in the whole county! You must know who Chunhua'er is going to marry? That is the dignified General Pingnu and the Emperor Dingbei Bolai!

Dingbei Bo, this is after the end of the last Northern Expedition, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials discussed it for more than half a year before deciding on the title of Lai San'er.

Although it is several levels worse than Qin Shuhuai's "An Guogong", it is already a very high honor for ordinary people.

This is probably the highest knighthood that a citizen of the prefecture has ever received since the founding of the country.

Lai San'er is not only a native of this county, but also a native of this county, so when he gets married, can the squires in the county come and take care of it?

Don't say anything like that, the squire doesn't look at this, it's the face of the county!

finally came out with a Dingbei uncle, and he is also a good man who fought bloodily to ensure the safety of everyone, if his wedding is not done right, it is easy to make the people in the next county laugh!

At that time, these squires will have to be instructed ineffectively, and the whole county will be mud legs and dirt buns, and there will be no place for this old face!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and even before the end of the Qing Dynasty, a large part of the responsibility for educating the villagers fell on the local squires.

Ordinary people get married, but Dingbeibo's wedding represents the highest wedding in the county.

The Ming Dynasty is known to the world for its courtesy, who is to blame for the lack of courtesy among the villagers? Can you blame the peasants working in the fields for not understanding?

The strange thing is that you squires and county lords who read poetry and books are full, and the peasants don't know what you are doing? You just eat, drink and have fun, don't you? This is called rich and rude, and you are simply nouveau riche.

In the Ming Dynasty, being unkind and rude to the rich were the two major crimes of the rich, and no one wanted to wear these two hats.

So this wedding, from the county order to the squire, has all been mobilized.

In view of the fact that Lai San'er is operated by the Jianghe Gang, then what they can help is the woman's side.

Wang Sanfeng had never seen so many squires in his life, and he was waiting at the entrance of the village early in the morning.

"Yo, Zhang Yuanwai, you're done!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, congratulations, Brother Wang!"

"Li Yuanwai, there is a loss of distance and a loss of welcome!"

"Brother Wang is polite, congratulations on finding such a virtuous son-in-law!"

Seeing those outsiders in the county who had heads and faces to say hello to him, Wang Sanfeng couldn't close his mouth and was happy.

Not only did they come in person, but they also brought a lot of wedding supplies, and they were afraid that this poor and remote place would not be able to make up for it.

The village was busy with all the work, and soon the smell of food and vegetables wafted all over the village, causing the children to salivate.

It was almost noon, and a huge procession suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village.

This team was a mile long, everyone was wearing bright red clothes, and at the front were twenty Jianghe Gang Qinglongtang people, they were divided into two rows, holding signs, beating big gongs, and opening the way in front.

Behind the opening team, is today's protagonist Lai San'er.

This kid is rare to stand up today, wearing a big red groom's dress, with a big red flower on his chest, riding a tall horse, and he looks like a dog, quite a posture.

To his left, is Qin Shuhuai.

Originally, according to Qiu Dali's arrangement, Qin Shuhuai was going to sit in Laifu, and when he received the link of worshipping heaven and earth, Qin Shuhuai came on as the officiant.

However, Lai San'er didn't do it, and he had to ask Qin Shuhuai to pick up his relatives together.

The reason is also very simple, when the grandfather of Chaoguo comes with us to pick up relatives, this face will be bigger!

Qin Shuhuai had no choice but to promise Lai San'er to play a supporting role for him, otherwise this kid would talk endlessly.

On Lai San'er's right hand, it is naturally Qiu Dali, because Lai San'er is an orphan, and he is now playing the role of Lai San'er's elder.

Behind them, there are Meng Wei, Meng Hu, Zhang Xiao, Lao Dao, Hua Shen, Li Jingting and others.

After that, there were the 150 brothers of the White Tiger Hall, some of them drove the carriage, some shouldered, and the dowry was long and smooth, not to mention how spectacular.

The group entered the village in a mighty way, and was soon discovered by the children, who immediately went back to report the "enemy situation".

Sure enough, it didn't take long for dozens of villagers to run over and block the road, led by a squire.

There is also a bamboo pole in front of them, which is commonly known as "knocking bamboo poles".

The custom of extortion is found in most places, not for money, but to let the groom know how much his daughter-in-law is valued in her mother's family and how difficult it is to marry this daughter-in-law.

This is a mandatory "ceremony" for women, otherwise it will be too casual.

When the greeting team saw this battle, they had to stop.

The squire asked, "Where did the guests come from?"

The tone is quite arrogant.

Well, it means that our women can be very expensive.

According to the rules, the groom has to dismount at this time and go to reply in person.

Qiu Dali had already taught Lai San'er these rules, so Lai San'er obediently dismounted and said to the squire, "Xiaosheng's surname is Lai San'er, a person from Taiyun Village, who is here to marry Chunhua'er, the daughter of the Wang family, and ask the old gentleman to agree." ”

The squire asked, "Are you here to marry the main chamber?"

This is to rely on San'er to personally recognize the status of Chunhua'er, and it is also one of the etiquettes.

Lai San'er nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes." ”

The squire asked, "Is the matchmaker here?"

As soon as the words fell, a woman rushed up.

"I'm the matchmaker, and I'm the matchmaker. I guarantee that this young couple is a talented woman and a perfect match, and in the future, they will raise their eyebrows and respect each other like guests. ”

This matchmaker is the one who told Qin Shuhuai about matchmaking, because of his eloquence, and now Lai San'er has become her "repeat customer".

The squire smiled, and then said, "Okay, since it is the main room for marrying and knotting, then the Lai Mansion must have been sincere, and everyone can check how sincere they are." ”

After that, the squire stepped aside, and all that was left was the time for the villagers to "rip off the bamboo".

Lai San'er also stepped aside at this time, because as far as Yu Li is concerned, it is not right for him to bargain with others as a groom official, and if he wants to bargain, he has to talk about the groomsmen, right?

The brothers of several groomsmen from the White Tiger Hall personally selected by Lai San'er were about to go up to speak, when they suddenly saw Meng Hu and Lao Dao rushing up and said, "The sincerity of the groom's official will let us talk." ”

So a village woman said, "That's good! We don't want much, just 200 catties of candy, 200 pieces of clothes, 200 catties of good wine, 200 catties of good meat, and 200 taels of silver!"

This price is casually opened, because the next step is the counteroffer on the groom's side.

Who knows that Meng Hu shouted, "How is this enough? How can I get 600 catties of candy, 600 pieces of clothes, 600 catties of good wine, 600 catties of good meat, and 600 taels of silver!"

The villagers were stupid all of a sudden, why didn't they follow the routine?

If you don't make a counteroffer, why do you still bring yourself to increase the price?

Lai San'er stood aside speechlessly and smiled awkwardly, knowing that this was Meng Hu and their intention, but what could be done? Could it be that he ran up and said that he didn't agree.

Fortunately, he has money now, and this money is not so distressed.

But the villagers were shocked, knowing that only 600 taels of silver was worth a year's harvest for the whole village.

The village woman was stunned for a long time and asked, "On the other side, you said it yourself?"

Meng Hu nodded and said, "If it is fake, how about converting it into a thousand taels of silver?"

Lao Dao immediately came to Lai San'er's side and said with a wicked smile, "Groom official, hurry up and take it out." ”

Lai San'er touched his body, only to find that he only had five hundred taels of silver tickets on his body.

Also, what he originally thought was that sending a hundred taels was already very arrogant, wasn't it?

So he hurriedly set his sights on the rich man Qin Shuhuai.

Qin Shuhuai shook his head helplessly, and smiled at Qiu Dali, "If you see it, I shouldn't come." ”

Qiu Dali laughed, "If you don't give it to him, you can do it, if you can't talk about it, this kid will be spanked by the woman." ”

Qin Shuhuai smiled, "Come on, if you lose this face and turn around, he will definitely cry on me, and he won't be able to kick it away." ”

So he took out a few silver tickets and sent them over.

The village woman was trembling when she received the 1,000 taels of silver tickets, and said to the letter, maybe the whole village had never seen such a huge sum of money.

The groom's official Lai San'er finally had a face this time, and walked forward and asked, "Dare to ask a few, can you go in?"

"Yes!"

"Thank you, groom!"

Under the influence of a large amount of silver, the villagers collectively "turned back" and brought the groom into the village happily.
