Chapter 42: Marriage (II)
"Miss Song is driving in front of you, Wang Hongyi is here to welcome Miss Song into the city. Seeing the Song family's flag in front of him waving in the wind, Wang Hongyi did not hesitate any longer, reined in his mount, arched his hand on the horse, and said to the opposite team.
"Is the handsome heir on the other side?" The yellow-faced and short-bearded man looked at him fixedly, obviously having heard Wang Hongyi introduce himself in what he said just now, but he didn't answer the other party's question, and asked again.
Wang Hongyi still smiled and said, "Exactly, I don't know which elder of the Song family is in front?"
"I'm Song Heng, I'm sending my daughter here on behalf of my brother, and since I am a handsome heir, please lead the way. Song Heng said lightly, his tone was not bad, but it was not good, obviously the sullenness in his heart had not yet disappeared.
Wang Hongyi knew in his heart that the Song family was still dissatisfied with him, so he had to sigh secretly, first salute Song Heng, and then lead the way in front.
Seeing that Wang Hongyi's demeanor was undiminished, Song Heng only snorted lightly.
The group soon came to the city gate of Wenyang Mansion, and a doorman had already received the news, opened the city gate, and welcomed the Song family team into the city.
The streets were spotlessly cleaned, and there were several groups of soldiers on both sides to maintain order, and although there were people probing, they did not dare to say much.
This formation really gives the Song family face.
Seeing this, Song Heng, who had been with a cold face, brought out a smile on this side.
The indignation in my heart about this marriage has also calmed down a little.
What Song Heng didn't know was that when he was looking at Wang Hongyi, Wang Hongyi was also secretly observing him.
Emotions are different.
For Song Heng, Wang Hongyi is just the younger generation who is about to become the in-laws of the Song family, but for Wang Hongyi, this Song Heng can be regarded as an old man in his previous life.
In the previous life, this Song Heng and Wang Hongyi had a good relationship, a bit of a year-old friendship, although they have only been away for many years, and now they are goodbye, but they are already separated by two lives.
It's only a secret, but it can't be told to outsiders.
Even though Wang Hongyi reunited with the old people, he could only make new encounters every time, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Because of the ease of mood, Song Heng and Wang Hongyi chatted a few words while walking, not as cold as at the beginning.
After only a few words, Song Heng was already slightly surprised in his heart.
This young man was really good, and when he was talking, he could always talk about his heart, as if he knew him very well, and he had the heart to talk a few more words, but he thought of the weight of the task he had come to this time, so he said no more.
Because it was a wedding, he didn't go to the marshal's mansion, but settled in a residence in the city, and when he arrived at the door, someone had already opened the middle door.
A group of people were waiting here in front of the door, led by the handsome Wang Zunzhi, accompanied by Li Xian and others, smiling and standing on the steps.
The handsome man greeted him out in person, and this courtesy made Song Heng's face more and more relaxed.
The two are equals, and in terms of identity, there is not much difference, so as soon as they met, they said hello.
Wang Zunzhi politely let the Song family into the mansion, and the next thing to be busy is the wedding after many days.
In addition to greeting, Wang Hongyi did not have the opportunity to meet Miss Song's family, and had a private meeting before marriage, which was not only unruly, but also had no leisure.
The Song family, except for cooperating when necessary, also had little contact with him.
Wang Hongyi knew that this was a warning from the Song family.
For his behavior of marrying a flat wife first, the Song family is afraid that he will not be able to let go of it for a long time, right?
In this regard, he was not afraid, and only felt a little guilty about Song Xinyou.
This woman had a husband and wife with him in her previous life, but she could be regarded as raising her eyebrows, and all kinds of experiences and consequences were all fallen people at the end of the world, and there was no need to think about who was right and who was wrong.
Again, he has changed dramatically, but I don't know if the people are the same?
Looking at the hospital where the Song family's team was hospitalized, Wang Hongyi was secretly distracted, and he could only endure the emotions that poured out.
A few days later, he was about to get married, and he was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.
Although at this time, compared with the ancient rites, the wedding is still simple, and it has been reduced by more than half, but for Wang Hongyi, there is a lot of attention to it, and it is all busy, which is also a headache.
Fortunately, with the help of Li Xian and others, they were busy, and it didn't take much time.
On July 19, it is advisable to get married, and the wedding of the two families of Wang and Song is scheduled to be held here.
After a busy day, this day has finally arrived, this day, this day, first it rained, and then the rain was clear, the weather was refreshing and the heat was gone, but the so-called heaven was beautiful.
The entire Wenyang Mansion is lively in this day.
At the time of the wedding, it was solemn.
The number of guests present, not inferior to the ceremony of the previous days, the number of guests who came increased more than ten times, Wang Zunzhi and the old lady of the Wang family, all attended as the parents of the Wang family, located in the parents' seat, and Mrs. Wang Zunzhi, it is said that she is still bedridden and cannot come out to show people.
Su Er sat at the seat of the Wang clan and was silent.
A group of guests, waiting for a couple to come, but they did not dare to make noise, although it was a wedding, the atmosphere at this time was very serious.
After waiting for a long time, Fang heard a shout from the ceremonial officer.
Everyone present suddenly cheered up and looked towards the exit, only to see a sedan chair at the door of the handsome, but eight people carried it into the main gate.
This world has its own etiquette, to the main gate, there are maids and mother-in-law to help the bride get off the sedan chair, at this time, Wang Hongyi came over with a solemn face, stretched out his hand, and took the bride's hand.
A couple of newcomers came out at the same time, at this time, they were all dressed in new clothes, and they didn't squint, not to say that they couldn't see the person next to them, they were their partners, and they didn't dare to look more.
Since ancient times, weddings have been a major event, and even established as the "foundation of etiquette".
There is a way that the two men and women, since they became husband and wife, have shared honor and disgrace, and they are more loyal and intimate than the relationship between the lord and the minister.
At this time, the wedding of the big clan adopts the style of the old times, the Domugu style, but it is very different from the previous marriage of ordinary wives, and the ceremony is quite complicated, but Wang Hongyi has experienced it once, and now it is not too hard to deal with it.
It's just that the Yiren next to him, although only the two of them are holding hands, they can also feel a slight tremor coming from each other's hands.
Wang Hongyi's heart suddenly softened.
In the eyes of others, Miss Song is a big family, her face is covered with red veil, and she can't see her face clearly, but her graceful posture is not comparable to ordinary women.
This Miss Song family is actually a beautiful woman, but she rarely has a reputation in Chengdu Mansion, which is really surprising.
Everyone present saw this, and everyone had any ideas.
Seeing his son appear in a wedding dress, Wang's eyes circled, and he almost burst into tears, but he couldn't help it.
Wang Zunzhi was even more emotional.
Everyone in the world thought that he was forced to choose this son as his heir, but he didn't know that this son was his son, and he was really connected by blood.
There is a way that father and son have the surname of heaven, which has been said since ancient times.
Now that he has seen him marrying a wife, Wang Zunzhi is very pleased.
For the Song family, since then, it can be regarded as an in-law with the Wang family and become a family, and in order to appease the Song family, the etiquette used is the proper etiquette of this world.
Everyone present had different mentalities, but this wedding was not affected at all and was still going on.
To say, this big family wedding is cumbersome and cumbersome, and it is simple, but it is also simple.
This wedding should mainly be on "eating together and drinking together".
As early as many days ago, Wang Hongyi followed the words of the ceremonial officials to find a lawn in the Shuaifu, and there needed to be a pine on the lawn.
It's easy, the pine has been prepared early, and the grass under the tree is like green and saffron.
In addition, it is also necessary to set up a few cases under the tree.
At the wedding, there were three meat dishes on several cases, and these meat dishes were called Shaojiao.
In front of the banquet of the bride and groom, the staple food of millet and millet, as well as the sauce, squid, boil and rice used for seasoning, are each one.
There is only one meat dish, which is placed between the meals of two people for consumption, which is to eat together.
After the meal, you need to rinse your mouth with wine, a total of three times, called the three wines, the three wines, the first two times with the jue, the last time with the other, the couple each hold a piece and drink, called the joint drink is.
Prior to this, the bride and husband had to sit on their knees at intervals.
Wang Hongyi and Song Xin walked leisurely in front of everyone's eyes and walked to the scene.
He sat down according to the words of the ceremonial officer, and then there were two bridesmaid-like women, and then they also knelt down, but they were diagonally to the side of the two.
And the wedding guests, where they are, all kneel behind the two.
Therefore, at this time, even if you ignore it, you can feel countless eyes on your back.
Although he had long experience, Wang Hongyi was also sweaty on his forehead, and he turned his eyes slightly to look at Miss Song, but he saw that her posture was upright, and he couldn't help but admire it.
Immediately, the praise was recited.
It is nothing more than Zier's newlywed, there are banquet guests, Xianji congratulates, congratulations.
After the recitation, the ceremonial officer said again, and the bride and groom began to perform the ritual of "eating and drinking together".
So two Chinese ministers came forward, knelt down before them, and prepared food for them.
Sandwich one dish, and the two of them will taste one bite, and so on until they have tasted all three dishes.
Just taste one bite of each dish, the first meal of the newlywed is simple, the eating has a ceremonial surname, and there is very little real eating.
Then the two waiters went down, and two more came forward and poured wine for the couple.
However, this wine is not drinkable, and it is spit out after rinsing your mouth.
In the grand wedding, in order to show dignity, not only are there only a few dishes for the wedding, but there is no celebration and celebration ceremony.
There is a way that there is no need to be happy in the faint ceremony, and the righteousness of the yin is also.
Happy, yang also.
Although Wang Hongyi said some time ago that he had already experienced the ceremony of the ceremony, he still had some lingering palpitations to deal with this wedding.
I just feel that the atmosphere is too depressing, there is not much joy, only seriousness, and I just hope that this wedding will end soon.
After the ceremony, the husband and the bride bow to each other.
Under the reminder of the ceremonial officer, the guests in the seat all chanted in unison, "The world is long, for Erjiayuan".
And bow together.
After all this is done, they bow to heaven and earth, as well as to their parents, and then bow to each other.
The gift of husband and wife, this is it, it is over.
This is an ancient ritual that the ancient people continued when they were trying to survive in the wild, but it is extremely noble.
Finally, on the night of the candles in the cave room, under the traction of people, the two were led to the new house, and naturally there was no need to say much later.
The house is either joyful or serious, there is only one courtyard, and it is very quiet.
This is the west courtyard behind the three-story door, the main room and the corridor, are small and chic, a bed near the window, with a mattress and silk quilt, and a small table, with an incense box on it, and flowers in the vase on the right.
There is faint music in the distance, the house is very quiet, Zhao Wan quietly took a book under the candle and looked at it, as if she was in a trance, she originally knew a few words, in the past six months, she has been tireless in learning, and now she can read it for the first time.
A maid dressed in red silk came up and served some tea, and when Zhao Wan took a few sips, she said in a low voice: "Madam, it's late at night, reading books hurts your eyes, let's rest!"
Zhao Wan nodded, blew out the candle by herself, as soon as the candle went out, the room was dark, for some reason, she raised her eyes and looked around, Zhao Wan couldn't help but fall into tears, and dripped on the desktop in front of the candle.
