Chapter 168: Su Tong Enters the Door (2)

The wedding team does not take the bride away immediately when they come to the door. The Ye family needs to treat the people who come to the wedding, that is, have lunch at the Ye family. In addition, the Li family's wedding leader, Li Dalang's uncle Gu Li, must go through the most difficult days and accept the questioning of the Ye family's aunts and wives, such as whether the Ye family's daughter will be abused when she gets married to the Li family? Will Li Dalang have a mistress, etc. These are not just talk about it. They need to be expressed in practice. To put it bluntly, they have to pay for the hush money and can blatantly bribe. Of course, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, and the Ye family's daughter cannot be married.

Go! So the difficulty of passing this hurdle lies in Gu Li's generous move. If he is more generous, he will suffer much less difficulties. He even laughs and laughs. If his husband's family is a little stingy, of course he can pass the test, but he has to answer all kinds of embarrassing questions. How much money does the Li family earn in a year? How much land is it? How many houses are there in the family? How many maids? But Gu Li was lucky today. He followed Li Weizheng's confidant Shisanlang. Shisanlang accidentally took off the mask on his face. The Ye family's three aunts and six wives were all dumbfounded. One person gave a symbolic red envelope and passed the test smoothly.

The next time is to wait, waiting for the sedan chairmen and drummers to eat and drink enough before they can go on the road. These people eat and drink, and rely on this food. It is rare to have a meal at a wealthy family. This opportunity will not be missed. It took nearly an hour for this lunch to end. The sedan chairmen and drummers who were satisfied with eating and drinking only then wiped their mouths and began to hold their strength to blow the trumpet loudly, ready to go out. The "cracking!" sound of firecrackers roared again, and three large sedans covered with red silk were already waiting in front of the main hall.

Eight sedan chairmen were all on a large sedan chair, all of whom were smiling and waiting for the bride to get into the sedan chair. The curtain door had been pulled up, and the hive girl stood aside. Accompanied by the loudest firecrackers, the three brides were helped out by the dowry maid wearing big red veils. This was a pre-arranged order. In front was Su Tong, in the middle was Zi Tong, and behind was Yao Ji. They were full of lotus step by step, charming and charming. The groom Li Wei was standing in front of them and bowing to welcome his bride into the sedan chair. The three brides came up together and helped the bride into the sedan chair.

"Get up the sedan chair!" Gu Li shouted a long time, and the two teams of joy came out one after another. Three sedan chairs were lifted up and surrounded by hundreds of people, they rushed out of the Ye Mansion's gate. This time the scale of going out was even larger. More than 200 servants of the Ye family carried more than 100 boxes of dowry to accompany them. Of course, this was only part of it. In the middle of the night, the Ye family had sent most of the Li family. Originally, the Ye family had a strong financial resources, and this time it was a dowry for three people, which seemed unprecedented. The old lady of the Ye family, the second uncle of the Ye family and the Ye family. As parents of the female party, they would accept the kneeling of the newcomers. However, they did not sit in the sedan chair, but took a carriage and did not go over Yuanbao Mountain. Instead, they took the shortcut to the Li family first.

From the Ye family to the Li family, if you walk the country road, it is less than three miles apart. If you walk the official road around, it will be five miles away. But if you cross Yuanbao Mountain according to local marriage customs, it will be twenty miles away. But it is a good idea to get married! It is a good idea to make a trip to Yuanbao Mountain. It means that the family will be prosperous and wealthy, and that the couple will live a long journey of life together. It is already afternoon when they come down from Yuanbao Mountain. Except for the drummer who is still energetic, the more loud the blows, the other people are sweating on their foreheads. Finally, they arrive.

At the entrance of Lijia Village, there is already a crowd here. Not only are the whole village of Lijia Village coming out, but many villagers from Yezhuang also came from the small road. They have been waiting for a long time. They are all looking at the interesting things that are about to happen below. The sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the village. According to the customs, the remaining journey will be carried by the groom to carry the bride into his husband's house. Carrying the bride into the door is an extremely important marriage custom. Its importance is to allow the groom and the bride to have a physical contact before entering the bridal chamber to prepare for sexual intercourse at night.

Usually, the groom was a little panting after coming down from Yuanbao Mountain, and finally he struggled to carry the bride into the door, but Li Weizheng was a little pitiful. Today he was carrying three brides into the door.

Li Wei was turning over and dismounting, looking at the three sedan chairs with a wry smile. His bitter smile attracted a lot of laughter, and some people even shouted: "Dalang, let's help you carry it in!" The laughter became louder, but many men's laughter contained a hint of envy. It was worth it to be exhausted to marry three women!

Seeing that it was indeed a bit difficult to carry three people into the village, Gu Li thought that this was not a ritual system, but just a custom, so he suggested: "Dalang, why don't I go to tell your father, just go directly into the village! Or carry Su Tong alone."

"No need, I want to carry them into the door one by one."

Li Weizheng still adhered to this custom. He walked to Zi Tong's sedan chair first and whispered: "Tongtong, I will carry you into the door."

"Dalang, just carry Su Tong, you can carry Yao Ji and I don't need to carry it."

"No, you are the same for me. Come out quickly! I will carry you first."

The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted open, and Zi Tong walked out of the sedan chair with the support of her mother. She slowly lay on Li Weizheng's back and hugged his neck tightly. Li Weizheng used his strength to carry her back. The maid behind quickly unfolded the big red umbrella and covered Zi Tong's back. This meant shelter from the wind and rain, but her more important function was to cover the indecentness of the newcomer's back.

"Newcomers enter the village!" Gu Li shouted. The Li family, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately lit firecrackers. Amid the sound of firecrackers, Li Wei was carrying the first newcomer into the village. He followed a team of drummers and dozens of Ye Mansion servants who were carrying dowry and walked towards the Li Mansion.

"Dalang, I'm really happy." Zitong whispered on her husband's back.

"As long as you are happy, I said in Baoding that I would marry you in a grand manner, but it was not until today that I could fulfill it. I felt wronged." Li Wei was in a good mood today. He speeded up and trotted to the Li Mansion with Zi Tong on his back. He was so tired that the maid and Xi Niang who were holding an umbrella behind him could hardly catch up.

"The newcomer is in the door!"

The Li family was already full of wedding receptions. When everyone saw the first newcomer arrived, they all applauded. A dozen daughters-in-law from the Li family rushed over and took Zi Tong into the room to rest. Li Wei was turning around and about to leave, when he suddenly found that there were several guards in military uniforms in the crowd, tall and burly, and Kong Wu was powerful. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. There were no military members among his guests. Even if the Jinyiwei came, his clothes were not right, but he didn't have time to ask in detail at this time, and there were two brides waiting for him at the entrance of the village!

He ran to the entrance of the village again, and the second newcomer who should be carried was Yao Ji. He walked to the sedan chair and smiled, "Please ask the newcomer to get out of the sedan chair."

The curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and Gu Ying and the maid helped Yao Ji, who was also wearing a phoenix crown on the left and right. Yao Ji's identity was a concubine, and her status was much lower. Logically, she was not qualified to pass the door. Even if she entered the door with Su Tong according to local customs, it was just to formally express that she should start after the housewife. She could only sit in a sedan chair as a dowry and followed the eldest wife. She could not wear the same wedding dress as the bride, nor could she enjoy the glory of the wedding girl.

But Li Weizheng ignored all these rules. Yao Ji was the woman he liked. She was willing to give up her homeland with sincerity. For him, he would never let down this lonely woman, let alone make her wronged. He must insist that Yao Ji also enjoys the same marriage, and is also his wife.

Li Wei was squatting down, and Yao Ji slowly leaned on his back. The maid behind him quickly opened the red umbrella and covered her back. Yao Ji leaned her head gently on Li Wei Zheng's broad shoulders. Her heart was full of gratitude and happiness. This man not only gave her a chance to be reborn, but also did not despise her because she had married someone in the past. She had never experienced her tenderness and consideration for her. Today she will officially become his bride. She was satisfied and intoxicated. Even if she died for him at this moment, she would be willing.

Gu Ying, who was beside Yao Ji, followed them silently, but she felt an inexplicable loss in her heart. She was eighteen years old this year and had reached the late stage of getting married. She had many blind dates in the past or two years, but she could never find a suitable man. This is certainly because she hoped that her future husband would be helpful to her career, but there was also a subconscious mind that she wanted to find a husband like her cousin. Gu Ying knew that she and her cousin had no fate, so she buried this thought deeply in her heart and never said it to anyone. At this moment, she silently looked at Yao Ji happily lying on her cousin's back, and her heart couldn't help feeling sad.

Yao Ji's arrival also welcomed applause and laughter. The people of Lijia Village are simple and realistic in their minds. In their eyes, the wedding is about lively and festive, and the red envelopes sealed by Li Yuanwai and the banquet that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year. They don't care about the ethics level at all. There is a difference between wives and concubines. Li Dalang married three wives today, so he gave three red envelopes to each household. If possible, they wished Li Dalang would marry one hundred wives today.

The women of the Li family welcomed Yao Ji in again. Now there was the last bride. Li Weizheng's forehead was already slightly sweating, but the drums were still loud, and the firecrackers of the Li family were still crackling. Everyone was really embarrassed when they saw Li Weizheng carrying his new wife in the door, and they were so tired that their hat was crooked, and the big red flowers on their chests were loose. Sweat stains appeared on the back of the wedding dress. Everyone couldn't help but laughed and leaned back.

At this time, Li Weizheng didn't care about the smiles of others. He had only one thought and quickly carried the last bride into the door, went back to the room to have a sip of water, and rested for a while.

"The newcomer comes out of the sedan chair!" Gu Li shouted, the drum music stopped instantly, and the laughter stopped. The entrance of the village was silent. This was the real bride. Moreover, the bride was the second lady of the Ye family, a famous beauty in a radius of dozens of miles. Everyone stretched their necks and waited for the newcomer to leave the sedan chair.

The curtain of the sedan chair was opened, Qianqian walked out of the sedan chair first. She opened the curtain door and saw a corner of the red dress slowly exposed. Then the bride walked out softly and weakly with the support of the maid. Although she was wearing a veil, the village entrance was still exclaiming, and the bride's beauty appeared in her mind.

Li Weizheng's attention gradually became concentrated. He seemed to have just woken up. Su Tong in front of him was about to be his wife. He quickly tidied up his clothes and squatted down again.

Su Tong was blowing lotus like the wind, swaying in a variety of ways. With the support of Qianqian and the maid, she approached Li Weizheng step by step. Finally, the groom's body appeared in front of her eyes. Su Tong looked at Li Weizheng's back silently. When she was a child, she was carried out to play by Dalang's brother countless times. She still remembered that Dalang sent her home. It was too late and she dared not leave. Dalang's brother carried her home. On his back, she fell asleep sweetly.

But today, she will be lying on his back again, and this time she will become his bride. "Su Tong, the time is here!" Qianqian saw that she was still at a loss, so she whispered to remind her.

Su Tong woke up, and a shy face slowly lay on Li Weizheng's back, and the red umbrella was also supported. Gu Li shouted loudly: "Newcomer is getting started."

This time, all the dowry and teams followed each other. Compared with Zi Tong and Yao Ji, Su Tong was petite and much lighter in weight. Li Wei was carrying a very relaxed back. He walked into the village. Everyone followed him. A large group of children ran and smiled in front of them. They didn't say anything, but they felt each other's hearts pounding. Su Tong leaned on her back and was shy and sweet. Her arms were holding Dalang's thick neck. She smelled the manly aura on his body, and before she knew it, she was a little intoxicated.

Today's bride finally arrived, and the atmosphere of the Li family reached its climax. Su Tong slowly stepped over the brazier and stool, and finally entered the Li family's door with the support of her mother. Yang Ying and Mrs. Ye personally took Su Tong into the inner room. After the newlyweds entered the door, they had to rest for half an hour, and then they would have to marry.

This waiting time was relatively relaxed and free. The guests were chatting together, but Mr. Li pulled his son aside and said, "A guest came just now and said it was your friend. When my father saw that he had more than 20 subordinates and was very imposing, he invited him to the central hall to rest. Go and have a look!"

Li Weizheng suddenly remembered the soldiers just now. He hurried to the central hall. The central hall was the place to get married later. There was a big character "四" on the front wall, with incense, candles, red wax on both sides. There were four seats under the character "四". Later, the elders of the Ye family and Li family were going to sit here to accept the kneeling of the newlyweds. There were two rows of round chairs next to each other, and some important guests were sitting here to rest and chat. Li Weizheng saw the uninvited guest that his father said at a glance. Zhang Yi sat on the side, and the magistrate of Linhuai County on the other side was sitting.

Li Weizheng's eyes suddenly narrowed. The guest was no one else, but Zhu Di, the king of Yan. He was wearing an ordinary regular dress and was talking and laughing with Zhang Yi. He did not see Li Weizheng coming in. Li Weizheng stepped forward and half-kneeled in front of him and said, "Grandman Li Weizheng, see His Highness, the King of Yan."

With a 'gudong!', the magistrate of Linhuai turned over the chair. He didn't know that the noble man in front of him was the King of Yan. The magistrate almost fainted. He was about to kneel down to worship the big ceremony, but the guard behind him held him and whispered in his ear: "Today is a happy day, and the King of Yan doesn't want to reveal his identity."

"Yes! Yes!" The magistrate bowed and nodded in panic, but never dared to sit down again.

Zhu Di quickly helped Li Weizheng up and smiled and said, "I am here to congratulate you, not to cause trouble for you. Just think I am your friend."

"I am also your friend. I'm here to attend your wedding, so you don't have to make a fuss." Suddenly, another person came in from the door. He seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, but his temperament was the same as that of an adult in every move. The person who came was King Ning Zhu Quan.

Zhu Quan smiled and bowed, "My fourth brother and I walked past Fengyang in Beijing. I happened to hear that you are getting married, so we will come by. I congratulate Brother Li first."

Li Weizheng looked at Zhu Di and then looked at Zhu Quan. He couldn't help but feel a little moved. No matter what their aim was, as the prince, he came to see his wedding, and this favor was unbearable. He felt proud and laughed: "Okay! The two of you who came to attend my Li Weizheng's wedding today are my distinguished guests. I thank you very much."

Zhu Di laughed and said, "That's right. Only when you are not polite is the true nature of a real man."

As he said that, he took out a string of beads from his arms and stuffed them to Li Wei. "I don't know you are going to get married, and I'm not prepared. This is my wish. I'm right to be a congratulatory gift. Please accept it."

There were eighteen beads in total, like dove eggs, which were crystal clear and dazzling, and extremely precious. Li Wei was not polite and directly thanked him and accepted it.

Zhu Di nodded, expressing his appreciation for Li Weizheng's honesty. He pointed at Zhang Yi and smiled: "I just discussed with Marquis Heqing, and I will be your marriage enlistment later."

Zhu Quan next to him also smiled and said, "I am not as wealthy as my fourth brother's family. I have a gift with me. I will make up for this gift afterwards, but I will be the ceremonial of today's wedding."

He looked at the magistrate again and said, "County Wang, how about it?"

Magistrate Wang just learned that this young master was actually King Ning. His legs were so scared that he nodded dumbly and could not say a word.

The time was coming soon, and Mr. Li ran out of the inner hall and said, "Dalang, hurry up and go in and prepare."

Li Weizheng introduced the two princes to his father and said, "Father, these two are my friends and Northern Heroes. They will be witnesses and emcee of marriage later."

Zhu Di and Zhu Quan both smiled and nodded to Mr. Li. Mr. Li was surprised. After all, he had seen a lot of knowledge. Seeing that the county magistrate and the Marquis of Heqing were respectful to them, he knew that these two people were not small, but they were willing to be witnesses and emcee for their son, which was even more honorable to their son. He quickly bowed and smiled and said, "You are distinguished guests. I am a small place here and I am in the countryside. Please forgive me if there is any inappropriate reception."

Zhu Di waved his hand quickly and said, "You are polite, we are sorry for not inviting us. You should bring the groom in quickly! Don't miss the time."

"You two sit slowly, I'll go in." Li Wei was sorry to the two princes, so he went into the inner hall.

Li Weizheng's three wedding chambers are in the same yard today, with Su Tong's new house in the middle, Zi Tong and Yao Ji on both sides. At this moment, the three of them are in Su Tong's new house. Old Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Ye, Yang Ying, and several distant aunts of Li Weizheng were also in the room. There was a golden plate on the table, with three jade cups placed inside. The jade cups were filled with wine, indicating that the golden and jade marriage was about to drink Heiyu, which was a necessary ceremony before the church. Ordinary Heiyu wine was only

There were couples drinking together, but today there were four people drinking together. In fact, they could drink together, but letting them drink together was the old lady's insistence. The old lady thought a lot. The Ye sisters married Li Weizheng at the same time, but the younger sister was Zheng. The older sister was the same time. From now on, they were sisters with deep sisters and no conflicts, but in the future! Old lady Ye was worried that they would be jealous one day and hurt the relationship between the sisters, so she explained some things in person when she was about to have a wedding.

"All three of you come here!" The old lady's voice was very serious, and the three girls slowly came to the table with the support of her mom.

"Pick up the wine glass."

The three of them picked up their wine glasses. The ancient way of drinking mermaid wine was slightly different from that of modern way of drinking wine. There was no need to hold arms. The newcomers each drank half of the wine, and then exchanged wine glasses and drank the other party's wine. Before the Tang Dynasty, bitter melon was used as wine glasses, with the purpose of letting the newcomers share the joys and sorrows and share weal and woe.

Old Mrs. Ye said to the three of you: "Two of you are my granddaughters, and Yao Ji is lonely and has no relatives in the Ming Dynasty. I also regard you as my granddaughter. Today is a happy day for you to marry a husband together. In the future, you will live together in a plain life. Su Tong is the wife of the outside world, but Zi Tong is the eldest sister of the inside. I hope you three can respect each other and give in to each other, so that your husband will not have any worries about the backyard, and can devote yourself to your career, and have a harmonious family and everything will be prosperous. This is an eternal truth. You must remember my words."

When the old lady saw them nodding, she smiled and said, "There are many people who drink Heyao wine. The rule is that you three each drink half of each, and your husband drinks the other half. Well, the auspicious time for the church is coming soon, let's start!"

The three girls slowly pulled open their veils, drank half of the wine, and handed it to Li Weizheng. Only then did Li Weizheng understand the reason for only three wine glasses. He still took the jade cups of the three and drank them all in one go.

It was already dark, and the sound of firecrackers and drum music sounded again outside. This was auspicious time for the wedding ceremony. Two girls walked in with red belts and concentric knots. Mrs. Ye personally handed one end of the concentric knot to his son-in-law, which means that she formally handed her daughter to him. The other end was three red belts, one slightly longer than the other. Su Tong held the main belt, and Zi Tong and Yao Ji followed behind each holding a red belt.

"Please give me a newbie!" The voice was very crisp, but it was the Lord Ning, who was the host of the church, shouting.

Under the guidance of her mom and two concubines, the four people slowly walked into the central hall. The four people stood side by side. The central hall was full of guests, mostly the elders of the Li and Ye families. The four seats in front were Li Yuanwai, Yang Ying, Old Lady Ye and Mrs. Ye. They were originally Ye Tianming's second brother representatives, but when Mrs. Ye came back, he gave way.

Zhu Di sat in the first seat on the left. He gently stroked his short beard and smiled. This was his first time attending a folk wedding, and he was quite interested.

"The witness delivered a speech!" Zhu Quan shouted. Everyone seemed to this strange man, and no one knew that he was His Highness, the famous King of Yan in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di coughed, stood up, and said slowly with a smile: "I am so beautiful that the beautiful scenery is beautiful, and when the moon is full, the Li family Wei Zhengjun of Linhuai County will marry his wife, the second wife and concubine. I announce in the name of the witness that the four of them will become one of the same hearts, and the husband and wife will be in love and grow old together."

After the witness said that, the emcee shouted: "The auspicious time is here, the newcomer will come to the church! Just pay homage to heaven and earth."

The four of them slowly came to the outside world, knelt on the mat beside them, and bowed to the sky.

"Two visits to the high hall!"

They turned around again, knelt down to the four elders in front of them, kowtowed to thank for their kindness for raising them. Mrs. Ye couldn't help but burst into tears. Mrs. Li's eyes also turned a little red. Her son finally got married and started a business. I just hope that a few wives could give birth to a grandson for him as soon as possible, the more the better.

"Honey husband and wife!"

The four of them knelt down face to face with each other, kowtowed deeply, and this is why they officially became husband and wife.

"Send to the bridal chamber!"

The sound of firecrackers and drum music sounded again, and the four of them were sent to the inner hall and into their respective bridal chambers. The wedding banquet of the Li Mansion outside officially began. Zhu Di and Zhu Quan only drank two glasses of wine and said goodbye. It was not because they were in a hurry to leave, but because they had a noble status and could not drink with the common people. Once impeached, Zhu Yuanzhang would have to cause trouble for them.

Li Wei sent the two kings away and was filled with wine at the wedding banquet. Then he entered the bridal chamber amid the laughter of everyone. However, he did not go to Su Tong's room first, but entered Zi Tong's room. After the church, the bridal chamber had no meaning to Zi Tong and Yao Ji. In Zi Tong's room, Zi Tong, Yao Ji, Qianqian and Gu Ying were sitting together to eat and drink. The veil that was supposed to be lifted by Li Wei was also taken by two little babies. The two little sisters were sitting on the wedding bed playing with their mother's veil with great enthusiasm. When Zi Tong saw her husband in, he immediately stepped forward and smiled, "You shouldn't come here, go to the next door."

Li Wei was unable to pull the girls in front of him, and he laughed dryly and said, "I will just drink a glass of wine and leave."

Zi Tong gave him his wine glass and whispered as he drank: "Today is my sister's happy day. You should stay with her tonight and not hurt her heart. Do you know? I will take the child with Yao Ji tonight, so you don't have to worry about it."

Li Wei nodded and then went to the next door. The new house was very quiet. Su Tong sat quietly on the edge of the bed. At this time, she was nervous and shy, waiting for the arrival of the bridal chamber with a virgin heart. Her mother told her last night what would happen tonight, which made her feel a little more expectant in her shyness.

The door opened, then closed again, and was locked. Li Wei searched around the room and confirmed that there were no hiding people. Then he slowly walked to the bride. He squatted down in front of Su Tong, grabbed her hands, and said softly: "Are you happy?"

Su Tong nodded gently, Li Wei was standing up, lifting her veil, revealing an unparalleled face. She lowered her head, her eyes were flowing, like a shy lotus, Li Wei was a little stunned by her beauty.

After a long time, he helped Su Tong up and stood face to face with him. Su Tong turned his head shyly. Li Wei was gently hugging her into his arms, lowering his head and kissing her lips. Su Tong's beautiful eyes were tightly closed, and his chest was undulating violently.

"Let's rest!"

Su Tong nodded. Li Wei was removing her phoenix crown. Her long hair, like a waterfall, was spread on her shoulders, reflecting her crystal white skin. He took a deep breath and picked her up horizontally with her legs bent.

"Brother Dalang, turn off the lamp." Su Tong said moaning.

"Okay!" Li Wei was blew out the red candle and carried her to the bed. In the dark, there was a sound of undressing. Su Tong begged shyly: "I have not been in the hands of anyone, Brother Dalang, please pity me."

"I will take it slowly, little by little, and it won't hurt you."

The noise outside and the sound of urging drinks came one after another. The spring scenery in the room was endless. The wedding night that made people yearn for was finally here.
Chapter completed!
