Chapter 266 Half awake and drunk
The team that was hired was playing and playing, and followed silently, but when he saw that he did not walk the avenue and chose the small path, he seemed to be taking everyone further and further away.
Chen An and Tiezhu who were following behind were very anxious and thought that they would be done if they were delayed. They wanted to pluck the courage to remind him, but Chen Mo suddenly stopped and said, "Why should we go left or right?" At this time, everyone was walking in a long alley. Looking around, there was no fork on both sides.
Hearing such a supernatural question, Tiezhu and Shen An who were following closely looked at each other and whispered: "Sir, there is only one way in front of you."
"Nonsense," said silently, tilting his head, "I clearly looked at two." He said, stretched out his finger to the alley in front and said, "One on the left," and pointed to the same place and said, "There is another one on the right."
The two of them understood a little. Chen An leaned over and saw that the young master's eyes were straight and he was still smacking his lips unconsciously. He turned around with certainty and said, "I'm drunk." Before he finished speaking, he saw the young master's knees soft. If Tiezhu hadn't been quick-witted and quick-witted, he would have fallen to the ground.
The horn sound came to an abrupt end, and the recruitment team was in chaos. The sisters-in-law screamed anxiously: "What should I do? How can I go to my father-in-law's house when I am so drunk?!"
Tiezhu glared and said in a deep voice: "Don't be noisy!" Everyone was immediately frightened by this fierce black man and did not dare to speak again. He heard Chen An anxiously say: "Who has a way to relieve alcohol?"
Tiezhu shook his head and said, "My adults have a very poor alcohol tolerance. I just drank too much, and I just used multiple times sober pills. I couldn't relieve myself even if I didn't have an hour." As he said, he looked at the sky and immediately frowned and said, "I just delayed it for too long, and it's too late now." Then he summed up in a nonsense: "I have to find a way to fool it."
After a while of meditation, Chen An was still smart and came up with a solution first, and then explained Tiezhu like this. After hearing this, Tiezhu gritted his teeth and nodded, "It's all that can be done."
He ordered his subordinates to prepare quickly, and then called the blower and answered the relatives. He ordered them to speak, and no rumor was allowed to leak the storm. Who dared not to refuse? Of course, he did not forget to take several legendary sobering pills to the adults.
Engagement is also called a great gift. Every place and every custom is different. For example, in Jiangnan, it is not easy for a son-in-law to come to the door to hire him in person. Generally, the elders of the man are the Wending. According to the Yin family's meaning, this is also an example to avoid the trouble of silence.
But Chen He refused to agree. He insisted on letting his son go in person. Of course, this was not to show off his Jie Yuan'er, but because of the appearance with the Lu family a few years ago. At that time, County Magistrate Lu praised him everywhere in order to choose the son-in-law of the Dragon and insisted on letting Chen Mo go to the door and hire him in person. Although he finally backfired, he actually helped the Shen family and Yin family, but Mr. Shen still felt that he owed the Yin family.
In the honest Chen He's opinion, since he agreed to the Lu family's request, even if the Yin family did not propose it, he would have to give the same treatment, otherwise he would seem too disrespectful to others, so he asked his son to hire him in person.
Although Mr. Yin said so kindly about his in-laws, he was actually happy and prepared to hold a big banquet, invite relatives and neighbors far and near to have wedding banquets, and show off his abilities... Find a son-in-law Jie Yuan as his son-in-law, how many people in the world can do it?
On the day of engagement, the family tree was famous, there were relatives in the three generations, business exchanges, and neighbors within two miles of radius came to watch the ceremony. The crowds were crowded, shoulder to shoulder, as lively as if watching a temple fair.
From morning to noon, we have not seen the team coming to the recruitment, but everyone's interest has not faded at all... Because the deeds of "Jie Yuanlang fighting wine to break a hundred couplets" have been passed down. After the exaggeration of the message, the silence of drinking and writing, it can now be compared with Li Bai and Cao Mengde. People are enthusiastically talking about Jie Yuanlang's literary talent, calligraphy and even zodiac signs, and they cannot help but look forward to the arrival of Wen Kuixing even more enthusiastically.
Finally, it was midday, and the sound of gongs, drums, silk and bamboo came from the intersection of the street, and the half-boy shouted, "Here you come, Jie Yuanlang is here." The crowd rushed towards the intersection of the street like a tide, all wanting to see Jie Yuanlang's honor first.
Then I saw a group of people knocking, sheng, flute, drums and music, carrying eighteen lords of various betrothal gifts, and coming to the Yin family's terrace gate. But people's attention was all gathered in the middle of the team, on the blue silk sedan chair with four tiles. Through the thin silk gauze, people saw a handsome young man with a leisurely expression and a rosy face, wearing a tall crown and a wide belt, sitting upright in the sedan chair like a god.
The only regret is that it looks a little blurred through the sarong, but when I think about it, how can the stars in the sky be watched by ordinary people? Everyone couldn't help but sigh deeply: "It turns out that Wen Kui Xing came to the mortal world, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance."
A woman who had met Miss Yin before said, "A couple like this is such a talented man! The Yin family has done so many good deeds, but now she has finally received good rewards. She is picking up such a good son-in-law."
Not to mention the onlookers, let’s say that there were already a banquet in the Yin family’s terrace gate, with relatives and friends sitting there, waiting for the guests to come. Only the music was heard, and the doorman reported: “Xie Yuanlang’s sedan chair has arrived!”
Everyone stood up to watch, but saw that the sedan chair was constantly stopping and went straight into the inner hall, and was talking inexplicably. Mr. Yin had already received a message from Tiezhu, and knew that his good son-in-law was drunk. So he asked the housekeeper to say to everyone: "Following the ancient etiquette, Jie Yuanlang first went to the ancestral hall to pay homage to my ancestors. After obtaining the approval of his ancestors, my family dared to accept the letter of appointment and then came out to meet everyone."
No one has ever heard of this ancient ritual, but he thinks it makes sense. Of course, it is more important. This is what Wen Kuixing and Jie Yuanlang said, which must be accurate and accurate. They all exclaimed: "The world is getting worse and worse, and people's hearts are not as good as ancient. There must be people like Jie Yuanlang to teach us ordinary people, otherwise the things of our ancestors will be completely lost."
Those who have children and older families can stare at each other with their eyes wide and look carefully, fearing that one of the links will be missed... They are thinking in their minds that when they are having their own wedding, they can definitely improve their grades by copying each other.
In the room, the woman's uncle took the gift list handed over by the man's uncle and began to count the betrothal gifts.
The man's uncle sang loudly: "Eighty taels of each of the two boxes of betting gold, one lever of betting cakes is 100 kilograms; eight styles of seafood... vegetarian dishes, abalone, oysters, fermented oysters, green onion, mushrooms, shrimps, squids, and sea cucumbers. It is for the thanks to the kindness of raising the nurturing." The man said the same thing, and the woman hooked the gift list. Everyone saw five pairs of chickens and geese, half of each male and half to show their wings; fifty kilograms of pigs and mutton, to show their rich and sincere respect. Five pairs of big carp are to show their heads and tails, and they have more than every year.
There are five pairs of coconuts with "Your Master and You Son" and ten pieces of strong liquor from Maotai Town to show that love is rich. There are also dried longan, lychee, dried walnuts and four-jing fruits in a row, to wish the descendants prosperity, prosperity and prosperity, and endless life. In addition, there are four-color sugars such as rock sugar, orange cake, winter melon sugar and golden pine, symbolizing sweetness and longevity.
As for the "oil tea ceremony" that implies that a woman must keep her trustworthy once she enters a marriage contract, she will never regret it. The lotus seeds, lilies, cypress, betel nuts, etc., which symbolize a hundred years of friendship and respect each other, there are many gimmicks, and the two uncles counted very slowly. Before they finished reading, the guests were already hungry.
Although the eyes were full of stars, the guests still praised secretly, "It's worthy of being an ancient ritual, so comprehensive." He forced himself to listen while drinking water. The two uncles were also awesome, and occasionally peeked at the butler standing at the door of the hall with a smile. Until he nodded slightly, he sighed and said together: "After counting, there are 120 betrothal gifts, just a lot, just right."
The housekeeper whispered loudly, "The guest helps my father-in-law meet the guests." Everyone saw Jie Yuanlang, holding the trembling Master Yin, and standing in the hall. As the two uncles delayed the time, there was acupuncture, vinegar, and massage inside. Shen Mo finally woke up, but his legs were weak and his brain was buzzing, and he felt like he was about to split in half.
Everyone saw that Mr. Yin was so troublesome to walk the trail, but they thought that after the stroke, his body was not yet rigorous. But they didn't know that on the contrary, the old man seemed to be helped, but in fact he was a knelt for Shen Mo. If he hadn't been in good health, he would have been pressed down by his son-in-law who had weak legs...
Mr. Yin struggled to raise the red and green letter of appointment on the outside, and said tremblingly: "Everyone, I have just accepted the letter of appointment on the front of my ancestors and ancestors, Zhuo Yan, the eldest son of Mr. Shen, and have replied to it. Since then, Zhuo Yan and his daughter will be together for three lives and will never be able to stop forever!"
Shen Mo also raised his slightest tribute, and the reply in his hand signaled both parties to complete the writing. Although he was dizzy, he was still excited. He knew that from this moment on, Ruohan was finally his person.
