At this time, the woman's family had prepared good wine, dishes and many red envelopes for reception and wedding reception teams. Li Yanqing was invited to the inner hall to pay homage to her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Because Cao Xuan was not there, she changed to pay homage to her grandfather Cao Ping. This step was also extremely important and she had to kowtow. The other party accepted the groom's gift, and then she expressed that she had recognized the son-in-law.

"Is the son-in-law going to set out for Ezhou tomorrow?" Cao Ping asked with a smile.

Li Yanqing nodded, "According to the notice of the Ministry of Personnel, you must leave Beijing today. Because you get married today, it is understandable that if you don't leave tomorrow, you will be impeached by the censor. So the son-in-law plans to leave tomorrow afternoon, rush back and forth the door tomorrow morning, and then set off directly."

Wang asked next to him: "How is my son-in-law going to Ezhou? What am I talking about taking?"

Li Yanqing hurriedly bowed and said, "Report to my mother-in-law, I am going to take a boat to Ezhou. I have already booked two large ships of Thousand Stone."

"It's okay to take a boat, it's not too tiring. I'll have to trouble my son-in-law to take care of Yunniang on the road."

"That's right, please don't worry."

"Okay, what's the matter tomorrow morning! Is the auspicious time coming?"

As soon as Cao Ping finished speaking, drums and music came from outside, which was urging makeup. Cao Ping smiled and said, "Since it's almost done, let the bride come out!"

Official Ke Ze shouted outside the hall: "The auspicious time has come, please ask the bride to get into the sedan chair!"

Amid the drum music, two wedding lovers helped the bride to step by step, followed by Cao Yun's close maid Yaer, and a large group of Cao's aunts and daughters. The sound of firecrackers sounded again outside the mansion. There were hundreds of large boxes on the open space, filled with silver ingots, jewelry, silk satin and various expensive clothes. The silver alone was 30,000 taels. This was Cao Yun's dowry. The other books had been packed and sent to the man's house in the future.

The dowry maid and Cao Yun got into the sedan chair, and the wedding girl was sent into the ox cart. The master shouted: "The time is here, I'll send the new one."

Unexpectedly, the followers refused to leave. Tang Zhengzong sang a lyrics, "High-rise buildings, pearl curtains, jade hooks, fragrant cars, BMWs, and many flowers and bonuses, and wealth and glory will last for hundreds of years."

This is asking the woman's family for money. The man paid the money when entering the door, but the woman asked the woman to spend money when going out. Several Cao family members rushed forward and stuffed the prepared small silver ingots to the followers and drummers. Then Tang Zhengzong shouted: "Get off!"

This is called eaves, which is also a rule that must be followed. As the team goes out, the women of the Cao family are holding copper basins to splash water out, indicating that Cao Yun is already married, that is, "the married daughter, the water that is poured out."

The team did not go directly to the Alum Tower. They had to go to the man's mansion first and go to the Li family's door before they could go to the Alum Tower to hold a wedding.

Although there is only one ceremony to go to the man's house, it is very important. Amid the drums and music, the sedan chair landed in front of the man's house, and the relatives and friends of the man's house were gathered around. The wedding girl spread a green cloth in front of the sedan chair. A woman in front was holding a mirror and walked backwards. There were only two green cloths. She had to exchange them constantly, so that the bride could enter the mansion on the green cloth, indicating that the family reception was passed on, and the fireworks were extended. In addition, she had to sprinkle grain beans to suppress the three evil spirits of the green sheep, crow, and green cow.

The man's family ceremony was hosted by a matchmaker, that is, Zhong Shidao. He held a bowl of rice in his hand. When he saw the bride get out of the sedan chair, Zhong Shidao held the rice and shouted: "The relatives of this house come to pick up the treasure, add makeup and rice, and I have been there for ancient times. My little lady, please call me to receive the meal!"

This is the most critical ceremony for entering the man's house. The bride must eat a bite of food. Only after eating the husband's family can she be the husband's family.

The personal maid took the rice spoon and carefully served the bride to eat the meal. A warm applause suddenly sounded around. Next, the bride stepped over a saddle and entered the mansion, and then took a sedan chair in the mansion to the alum building to hold a wedding.

The bride had nothing to do afterwards, and she went to the alum building to rest and wait for the church.

At this time, the Alum Tower was already at the gate, and the guests were very lively. The banquet had already begun. The Alum Tower was singing and dancing everywhere. The guests drank and chatted. The exquisite dishes were served by the beautiful maids in the Alum Tower. The guests were dazzled. This was the first time many guests came to the Alum Tower.

The wedding was a singing stage in the atrium. There was a row of tables on the front, and in the middle was the spirit tablet of the man's ancestor, with four seasons offerings on it, and a huge character "四" hanging directly above, with several chairs on each side, mainly for the witnesses and the man's parents and other direct elders to sit.

A Qinglu was built on the west side. Qinglu was a must-have arrangement when getting married. Drinking wine and combining it with a bun must be carried out in Qinglu. There is only a symbolic bed in Qinglu, spreading with a new satin quilt. At this time, the bride was sitting in Qinglu.

Li Daqi and Zhong Shidao sat on the chair next to him. Zhong Shidao was not only a matchmaker, but also a witness. Because this is a wedding held by the man's family, the woman's parents cannot sit on it and can only sit down below to watch the ceremony. It is the same whether it is a small family or a powerful family.

The wedding has begun. There are two highlights at the wedding, one is called "Sitting up high" and the other is the chapel. The so-called "Sitting up high" means that there is a saddle placed in the middle of the lobby, which is the saddle that the bride crosses into the man's house. The groom rides on the saddle and the woman's house invites him down. This is also one of the most grand ceremony in the wedding.

The emcee is the professional emcee of the Alum Building. The emcee shouted: "Sit up high and ask the groom to get on the horse!"

The singing and dancing stopped, hundreds of guests from both sides looked into the lobby, and the groom Li Yanqing was invited to the high platform. The official Tang Zhengzong of the ritual led him to ride onto the saddle, and laughter suddenly came from all around him.

The first person to come up to toast was Cao Yun's sister Cao Yun. The reason why Cao Jiaojiao didn't let Cao Jiao go is because she was too young and she would cry if she couldn't invite the groom.

Cao Yun handed the wine glass to Li Yanqing and smiled and said, "Please drink with officials!"

Li Yanqing took the wine glass and drank it all. Cao Yun smiled and said, "Please dismount!"

Li Yanqing waved his hand, "I just got on the saddle, how can I get off the horse? You go!"

Cao Yun asked again, but Li Yanqing refused. Cao Yun then ran back with a smile.

The emcee shouted: "The newcomer refuses to dismount, please!"

The second one came up was Cao Yun's sister-in-law, named Cao Meifang. She married the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion. She handed the wine glass to Li Yanqing, "Please drink with officials!"

Li Yanqing took it with both hands, raised his glass and drank it all. Cao Meifang smiled and said, "Please dismount!"

Li Yanqing shook his head, "How can I get off the horse if I haven't had enough wine?"

Cao Meifang asked again, but Li Yanqing refused to leave. The emcee shouted again: "The newcomer still refuses to dismount, please ask three times!"

The third one is the important person. The bride's mother, Wang, came on stage in person. Although Wang didn't like this marriage before, today is a happy day and she must smile.

Wang brought the wine to Li Yanqing and said with a smile: "Son-in-law, please drink!"

"Thank you, Mother-in-law!"

Li Yanqing took the wine glass and drank it all. Wang asked again: "The bride has been waiting for a long time, so please ask my son-in-law to get off the horse and go into the hut."

Li Yanqing also smiled and said, "My mother-in-law invites you, how dare you not obey!"

He finally got off the saddle and followed the ritual officer to walk towards Qinglu. The surroundings were filled with joy. At this time, the ritual officer took off a piece of red satin hanging on the ritual and threw it to the guests. The guests fought for the first time, pulling the satin into pieces and hiding one piece of it. This is a good start, called "Lishi Jiao Family".

Li Yanqing and Cao Yun sat side by side on the bed. Li Yanqing chuckled in a low voice: "My wife is burdened today."

Cao Yun said shyly: "I'm fine, I work hard for officials."

"The bride, the bride is not allowed to speak!"

A voice suddenly came from under the bed, and Li Yanqing was shocked. Cao Jiaojiao came out from under the bed, and Li Yanqing immediately smiled and said, "Why are Jiaojiao hiding here?"

Cao Jiaojiao smiled and said, "It's a bridal chamber!"

Cao Yun couldn't help but say, "Jiaojiao, don't be naughty, go out quickly, you can't stay here."

"I'm so bored that I want to talk to you!"

"Not today...oh! You are still young, my sister tells you to go out soon."

Li Yanqing also smiled and said, "Jiaojiao can move in to live with her sister in the future, but not today, so go out first!"

Cao Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Brother-in-law agrees! I regret it's a puppy."

Li Yanqing stretched out a little finger and said, "Get a hook for you!"

Cao Jiaojiao was happy and hurriedly hooked up with her brother-in-law, then she slipped out from behind with a smile.

"Officials, please don't spoil her, be careful to spoil her."

"It's okay, Jiaojiao is smart! She won't spoil her."

"Official, are we going to go far tomorrow?"

"Yes! We will go to Ezhou tomorrow, my wife, I'm sorry."

"Of course it doesn't matter to me. By the way, where is Sister Sisi?"

"She is in Chicang Town, with Qing'er. Tomorrow we will go south of Cai Henan and pick them up on the boat in Chicang Town."

At this time, the emcee shouted outside: "The auspicious time has come, please give me a visit to the newcomer!"

Two grooms came in and made a big red satin with each other. They each face to face with each other holding a brocade belt. Li Yanqing walked backwards and walked out of Qinglu slowly.

The ritual officer chanted a poem loudly to congratulate him, "The reunion is beautiful and beautiful tonight, and the green belts are formed in the same heart. Don't be stained with dust from now on. He is in his cold posture for a long time."

A pair of newly-people stood in front of the hall, and the host shouted: "Please lift the shiba below!"

Li Zhen's wife, Mo, walked forward with a smile. She held a scale in her hand and suddenly lifted the bride's veil on her head, revealing the bride's shy and beautiful face.

The veil of the Song Dynasty was not waiting for the groom to lift it in the bridal chamber. It must be lifted by a woman with both children in the man's family before the church, and it must be lifted with a scale or a loom.

There were once again a roar of amazement and applause around him, mostly amazed at the bride's beauty. Cao Yun was originally beautiful and dignified, but now after carefully putting on makeup, he was as beautiful as a fairy, which surprised the guests.

"Go to the ancestors!"

When a Song people get married, they also worship three times, not worshiping heaven and earth, but worshiping ancestors, second worshiping parents-in-law, and third worshiping couples. Because it is inconvenient to go to the ancestral temple to worship ancestors, they usually invite the ancestor spirit card into the lobby and send the ancestor away afterwards.

The two knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of the spirit card. The emcee shouted again: "Dear parents-in-law twice!"

The two walked to Li Daqi and knelt down. Li Daqi held his wife's spiritual card in his arms. He was so excited that he burst into tears and silently said, "Yun Niang, have you seen it? Our child got married today, and you have become a mother-in-law."

The two of them bowed three times again, and Li Daqi hurriedly said, "Good boy, get up!"

The emcee shouted again: "Enter Qinglu, the husband and wife bow to each other!"

This time, the bride was walking with one heart and led the groom into Qinglu. The matchmaker presided over the Qinglu, and the bride and groom knelt down to the other party again.

At this time, the man and the woman's family came on stage and began to spread tents around Qinglu, that is, sprinkle copper coins, mixed fruits, sugar and petals onto the big tent to express their blessings to the newcomer. In the big tent, the groom and the bride each cut off a bun and tied them together, and put them in a jade box. This is called "collar bun", and the couple is born from this.

There is also drinking Jiaoyan wine, which is today's Jiaoyan wine, which means that the couple share the joys and sorrows. Master Zhong poured the two halves of jade gourds all over the wine, and smiled at the newlyweds: "After drinking this glass of wine, I hope you will support each other in the future, share the joys and sorrows."

Li Yanqing and Cao Yun picked up the jade gourd, and they stared at each other and slowly drank the wine together.

At this time, the master of ceremonies whispered: "The wedding has been finished, I'll send the newlyweds back to the bridal chamber!"

Of course, the bridal chamber will not be located in the alum building. The alum building is just a place for banquets and entertainment. At most, weddings will not be held. Generally, the bridal chamber will not be used as a bridal chamber for newlyweds. Of course, the bridal chamber is in Li Daqi's mansion on Freezer Street.

The guests continued to drink and celebrate. A gorgeous carriage had quietly driven out of the Alum Tower and drove towards the Freezer Street under the escort of Zhang Bao, Zhang Ying and Yang Guang.

It was already dark at this time. In the carriage, Li Yanqing held Cao Yun's slender waist and lowered his head to kiss her pretty face. Cao Yun lowered his head shyly, but Li Yanqing gently raised her chin and kissed her red lips. Cao Yun's heart finally opened. She greeted her husband gently. In the carriage, a pair of newcomers hugged each other tightly.
