Chapter Thirty-One: Greeting
Time flies like a gap and comes in a blink of an eye.
February 2, the dragon raises its head!
Starting from Yinshi, before daybreak, the Zhujiazhuang area in Dulonggang was already filled with bright lights, loud gongs and drums, and a bustling crowd.
At the end of Chen hour, Si hour rises, the auspicious time has arrived, and the bridegroom receives the bride.
A gold chariot with a jade wheel, a green horse riding around, and a saddle with tassels and gold threads. Three million yuan in cash, all dressed in green silk. Three hundred horses of various colors, which are the treasures of Guangzhou City; two or three hundred followers, and they are full of beauty at the gate.
.
The shengxiao was played to make the phoenix arrive, and the drums also welcomed the heroine.
In front of the gate of Zhujiazhuang Village, a long line of people waiting for a bride slowly came out. There were three people in front of them, and on the left and right were Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, who were wearing light red robes. They had red lips and white teeth, and a slight color on their faces. They were facing two handsome greeters.
Binlang.
Lu Fang looked at Guo Sheng beside him teasingly and said: "On weekdays you only say that I like to wear red clothes, like a woman, so today I asked you to wear them too."
Hearing this, Guo Sheng sneered and rolled his eyes: "Today is the master's big day, so I'm wearing whatever I want, but you see, among the two to three hundred people in the wedding team, there are a few who don't wear red."
Qiao Daoqing, who was walking in the front and center, listened to the two of them talking, smiled heartily, and said: "Brother Guo Sheng is right, but that's not the case. I also wore a red robe today."
"Mr. Qiao looks like a high official in the imperial court wearing this red robe, but his younger brother is neither fish nor fowl." Guo Sheng teased.
After Guo Sheng finished speaking, Qiao Daoqing and Lu Fang laughed loudly, and heard a voice coming from behind them.
"Brother Guo Sheng, please don't feel that you are neither fish nor fowl. One day, the young master will also find a good home for you, and you will be able to wear a red robe with great joy."
This voice does not belong to anyone else, but to today's protagonist, the groom Guan Zhu Biao.
Then he was seen riding a tall horse, wearing an official hat, a crimson robe with black edges and gold embroidery, embroidered with a hollow pattern of hibiscus flowers on it, a gold-trimmed jade belt around his waist, Qingyun shoes on his feet, and his chest
Tied with a big red flower, it symbolizes great wealth and joy.
Hearing Zhu Biao's words, everyone burst into laughter, and even a few rough voices came from behind.
"The Sa family looks good at the Jin'er girl from Teacher Zhang's family. They usually flirt with Brother Guo Sheng, but it's not a good fit."
"Yes, yes, that girl Jin'er is also very pretty, and brother Guo Sheng is a rare handsome man. He is a good match."
"Haha, why don't you, young master, find a day to make peace with Coach Zhang and Madam Zhang, so that we can enjoy brother Guo Sheng's wedding wine as soon as possible."
"Lin looks just right."
Li Ying, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Lin Chong, who were carrying a big red sedan chair in the center of the team, all said teasingly, making Guo Sheng in front of him blush.
Zhu Biao smiled slightly and looked back at the huge welcoming team, feeling excited for a moment.
The Phantom Lord - Qiao Daoqing opened the way, Xiao Wenhou - Lu Fang, Sai Rengui and Guo Sheng held the flag, and there was the flying eagle - Li Ying, the flower monk - Lu Zhishen, the leopard head - Lin Chong, and the traveler - Wu Song.
The sedan chair, the Marquis Sai Huan - Du Bo, and the dragon slayer - Sun An lifting the plaque, in this world of Water Margin, it is probably difficult to put together such a luxurious wedding lineup.
It has been eleven years since we arrived at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhu Biao has never been as passionate and powerful as he is today. In later generations, when Zhu Chongba married Ma before he became emperor, he probably was just like this.
When the huge procession of welcoming brides arrived at the gate of Hujiazhuang, they saw that Hu Cheng and a group of people were already waiting here, ready in formation.
I saw Hu Cheng walking out first and said to Zhu Biao who was dismounting: "Sanlang, let's not ignore the brothers today. If you want to marry my sister, I am your uncle, so you need to pass three tests first."
When Zhu Biao heard this, the corner of his mouth raised, and he said boldly: "Please also ask the Hu family brothers to row down the road. Zhu and all the brothers behind him will pick it up."
A playful smile appeared on the corner of Hu Cheng's mouth, and he called the people behind him to spread out, and saw a wine mountain densely packed inside the village gate.
Hu Cheng said leisurely: "Sanlang, I will not embarrass you. I ask you to drink this wine alone. There are many heroes behind you. As long as you finish drinking, how about I let you into the village?"
Seeing this, Zhu Biao turned around and looked behind him, only to see Lu Zhishen and Wu Song put down the sedan chair and walk out without hesitation, and then heard Lu Zhishen's loyal words.
"The Sa family only saved this stomach for the main dinner in the evening, and drank this pile of wine to rinse their mouths first."
Wu Song was also bold and said directly to Zhu Biao: "Sanlang, just watch. With me and brother Tiha here, this little wine is nothing."
The two men stepped forward, one of them opened a jar of wine, and holding the jar high, the wine in the jar poured into their mouths like a waterfall.
The two people behaved boldly, and everyone around them clapped their hands and applauded. They could only hear bursts of cheers from the welcoming procession.
Lin Chong, Sun An, and Du Bo, how could they compare to Lu Zhishen and Wu Song Zhuanmei in front of them? They walked up to them, opened the cover of the wine jar, and drank heavily.
The mountain of wine shrank rapidly visible to the naked eye in the mouths of the five massive men. Qiao Daoqing saw that the five of them had almost drunk, and was afraid of losing time, so he called the others to come forward, one person per jar, and quickly drank the remaining wine.
.
Seeing this, Hu Cheng called Zhuang Ding behind him to make way, and said meaningfully to Zhu Biao.
"Sanlang, this level is easy to pass, but the remaining two levels are difficult to pass."
When Zhu Biao heard this, he didn't care. It was just a process. What he wanted was for everyone to have a good time together, but he didn't care whether it was good or not. Soldiers would stop him, and water and soil would cover him up.
The huge welcoming team immediately beat gongs and drums and filed in towards the gate of Hujiazhuang. When they arrived at Hu Qing'e's small courtyard in the village, they saw a group of female relatives blocking the gate, led by two graceful women.
.
Among them, the older woman was wearing an emerald green dress. She had a delicate face, a voluptuous figure, and a bit of charm in her eyebrows. She was Pan Jinlian, who had been living in Hujiazhuang since Wu Zhi left Yanggu County.
Another woman is in her cardamom years, wearing a light yellow gauze skirt and a light blue brocade robe. Her face is like a hibiscus, and her eyes are like autumn waves. She stands there quietly, as if in the silence of an empty valley.
Lan, with a calm and far-reaching temperament, is the daughter of the Cheng Wanli family of Yunzhou Zhizhou, her maiden name is Wan'er.
"Sister Wan'er, why didn't you come to my village with Uncle Cheng, and why are you waiting for me here?" Zhu Biao said to the young woman with a smile on his face.
Then he saw Cheng Wan'er bowing Ying Ying, and said in a voice like an oriole: "Brother, Wan'er is a female family member, so she should be with sister Qing'e."
Pan Jinlian on the side heard the two talking and smiled sweetly and said to Cheng Wan'er.
"Wan'er, today we didn't say much to Sanlang. We just followed our agreement and used your methods to let him get through."
Hearing this, Cheng Wan'er cupped her hands towards Zhu Biao and said: "Brother, Wan'er wants to embarrass you today, and I will apologize to you another day. Wan'er knows that my brother is both civil and military, and it is not convenient to use force on this big day, so I asked him to
