After entering the yard, the sedan stopped in front of the gate. Zhang Chen walked in front of the sedan, hit the roof of the sedan three times with the fan in his hand, and kicked the door of the sedan with his feet three times. This represented the majesty of the groom and hoped that the bride would be able to live happily ever after. Yibaishun.
Afterwards, Zhang Chen opened the curtain of the sedan again, and then led the two women down respectively. The two women wearing bright red hijabs looked particularly beautiful and mysterious at this time.
Zhang Chen held a woman by the hand, and the three of them walked side by side toward the house. At this time, Zhang Baosheng and Zhang Lei had already come to sit in the house, and the others were standing in their own places.
After entering the house, in front of them were the three saddles that had just been placed. The singer said loudly: "The bride and groom stepped over the saddles, and they will be in peace from now on."
After crossing the saddle, in front of them were two pots of red charcoal fire. Two maids came over to help the two brides pick up their skirts to avoid being burned by the fire. The singer said loudly: "The bride and groom stepped over the brazier, and they will be prosperous from now on."
At this time, they have entered inside. Next, they have more important things to do, which is to serve tea to their elders and change their names.
After the tea ceremony, the singing officer loudly said: "The bride and groom worship heaven and earth."
Everyone has heard of worshiping heaven and earth, but not necessarily understand the legend and its origin. Moreover, these three prayers are not just bowing to heaven and earth and praying to each other in the high hall.
It is said that when Nuwa created humans, she only created a handsome offspring. Although this offspring had food, clothing, and freedom, it was lonely. I always feel bored. So I often sigh.
one night. The moon is full. The bright light hung brightly in the sky. The young man was moved by the scene and felt even more lonely, so he said to the moon: "Yue Lao, please listen carefully and find me a close friend. I will accept your love for generations to come!" Just after saying this, the moon In a flash, an old man with white eyebrows and long beard came to the young man, leaning on a walking stick with a dragon head. Said: "Don't worry about the future generations, I will find a little helper for you." After finishing speaking, there was a breeze and the long-bearded old man disappeared. The young man felt very puzzled. After an hour, an old man with a long beard led a girl to the young man and said to him: "I went to Nuwa and asked her to create another woman and bring it to you. You guys should get to know each other first. I will organize a happy event for you later." In a flash, the old man disappeared.
The young man blushed when he saw the girl. Like a rose, her brows lit up with joy; the girl saw the young man's eyes bright. Being honest and frank, I also feel that I am in love with you. The two looked at each other and fell in love at first sight. The young man stuttered and said: "Are you willing to live with me?" After hearing this, the girl's face flew up with two red clouds and said: "Yes." "Ha! Ha! Ha!" At this moment, there was a burst of noise. Laughing, the old man with a long beard led two old men with white hair and white beards to stand in front of the young man and the girl, pointed at the two old men and said: "This is God and the land. Your future life will be inseparable from them. Now we To hold a happy event for you, first of all, bow three times to the God and the land who raised you, 'one bow, two bows, three bows'." Following the shouts of the old man under the moon, the young man and the girl bowed three times to the sky and the earth. Later, the old man Yuexia said with a smile: "I will hold the red thread for you, and you have to bow to me." "One bow, two bows, three bows." The young man and the girl bowed three times to the old man Yuexia. Just after they finished praying, all three old people disappeared.
From then on, the young man got up early every day and worked in the fields in the dark. The girl cooked for the young man at home, sewed new ones and washed the old ones. The two loved each other and lived a happy life.
In order to thank heaven and earth for their nurturing grace, and to thank Old Man Yuexia for his matchmaking affection, from now on when getting married, one must: first bow to heaven and earth; secondly bow to Old Man Yuexia; and thirdly bow to parents. This formed the custom of "worshiping heaven and earth" when getting married.
After worshiping heaven and earth, the whole etiquette is completed, and the bride will be sent into the bridal chamber to wait for her to enter the bridal chamber with the groom. In order to reflect that the two women have the same status, Victoria Song and Myolie Wu both entered the same bridal chamber. They were sitting on the same embroidery bed.
The bride has already entered the bridal chamber, but the groom is not ready yet. After the ceremony, he has to accept everyone's congratulations, toast the guests, and other things.
Zhang Chen's marriage has come to an end for the time being, but it is still very lively outside. At the other wedding scene outside, there is not so much red tape. By the time Zhang Lei and the others finish their ceremony, it is already happy outside. He started drinking.
"Brother, you go and toast the guests. These are the descendants of local squires and loyal martyrs. It is very helpful for us to have a good relationship with them. I will go outside to see those people. After all, they are also getting married today, or I want to go over and have a look." Zhang Lei said to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen nodded and said:??Well, okay, I will do things well, brother, don't worry. "
Zhang Lei laughed loudly, patted Zhang Chen on the shoulder and said, "That's right. I seem to see you starting to break away from my shadow. This is good. I hope you can continue to carry it forward and make persistent efforts."
"Well, I will definitely do it." Zhang Chen said firmly.
After leaving Zhang Mansion, Zhang Lei could see the lively scene in the distance. He couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect that at this time, he could actually see a group wedding.
There are a lot of people here, 300 newlyweds and the bride¡¯s family, at least a thousand people. Needless to say, the excitement is high. Zhang Lei was discovered before he even got in front of them. "Master Zhang is here." Someone shouted, and the scene suddenly got out of control. Everyone looked over and called Zhang Lei excitedly. After all, Zhang Lei is their matchmaker. Without Zhang Lei, they would not have been able to marry such a beautiful wife.
His subordinates were very happy, which was a gratifying thing for Zhang Lei. He came to the crowd, sent blessings to the newlyweds, drank a few glasses of wine with everyone, and talked for a while. By noon, Then he returned to Zhang Mansion.
Zhang¡¯s Mansion is equally lively now. Although it is not on that scale, there are endless shouts and laughter as cups are exchanged.
The commotion continued until nightfall, when Zhang Chen, the groom, went to the bridal chamber drunkenly. Opening the door, the two brides, still wearing red hijabs, were sitting quietly on the bed.
"You two have been waiting for a long time. One moment is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and the next time belongs to the three of us." Zhang Chen said with a burp.
Myolie Wu said: "Ms. sir, you haven't come over to lift your hijab yet."
Zhang Chen cheered up and said: "Ah, yes, yes, lift the hijab, lift the hijab"
He pulled off the headscarves of both of them in one fell swoop, and then fell down on the bed.
Both Myolie Wu and Song Qian looked very helpless. They looked at each other and took off all their clothes. Then they helped Zhang Chen take off his clothes. Then they put down the tent and the three of them went to Wushan to have sex together. .
Outside, everyone had dinner and went home. Zhang Lei was very happy. In addition, everyone kept toasting, so he seemed a little drunk. He was supported by several ladies before returning home.
The next day, Zhang Lei didn't wake up until it was bright and the sun shone in through the window. He looked around him, but there was no one there. The quilt was neatly folded. This was obviously because he slept alone last night. of.
Sitting up all of a sudden, he felt that his head was a little bloated. Although he drank a lot, he would still feel uncomfortable after drinking too much. He fumbled to put on his clothes, opened the door, and saw two maids waiting outside. He quickly came in and helped him wash up. Only then did Zhang Lei feel better.
"Ms. sir, you're up." Zhang Lei's women's rooms were all connected together, so Baguio already knew it not long after Zhang Lei woke up. She walked in with a tray and said: "Ms. sir, this is Come and drink the hangover soup first, it will feel better after drinking it. Breakfast is already prepared. Drink some porridge and eat something light, it is good for the spleen and stomach."
Baguio's tenderness and thoughtfulness made Zhang Lei feel very comfortable. He grabbed Baguio's hand emotionally and said: "Thank you for caring about me so much. Hey, I haven't sinned like last night in many years. I really let you What a joke."
A happy smile appeared on Baguio's face, and she said: "My husband said such silly things again. Is there anything I can thank you for? You are our husband, and what I am doing is my duty as a wife." , As for drinking, maybe you were too happy last night, so just drink less in the future."
Zhang Lei now wants to shout three times for understanding. He glanced at the huge steamed bun on Baguio's chest and said, "Hey, I'm touched. Shouldn't I do something to repay you?"
"You, you don't have a straight face when you talk about it. There are still a lot of things to do today. Stop making trouble and drink this soup and porridge quickly." Baguio suddenly removed his hand from Zhang Lei He pulled away his palm, brought the soup bowl to Zhang Lei and said.
Zhang Lei drank the soup and then the porridge. He suddenly felt warm in his stomach and felt energetic all over. Baguio helped him get dressed. He still needed to find out more about the people who were getting married. The task was still quite arduous, but what made him feel very relaxed was that it had been several months since the planning of this big event. Time passed, and finally the curtain came to an end, with a happy ending.
Nearly a month later, on the first day of April, Zhang Lei planned to leave Taiping Island. He had been here for more than three months.It's time to leave, and this time I leave, so that I will never leave in the future, and so that the Ming Dynasty can be stable and peaceful from now on.
Early that morning, the car that came to pick him up had already stopped at the gate of the Taiping Palace. Zhang Lei said goodbye to his wives and children one by one, then got in the car accompanied by Jiang Yuyang and headed north. . Some of those who followed him back were married, so Zhang Lei asked them to stay, while those who were not married or were unwilling to get married like Jiang Yuyang continued to follow Zhang Lei on the expedition.
