The first day before the Jingzhe.
I moved into Li's house, and He Fei was taken to the courtyard arranged by Tang Song.
Tang Song prepared a lot of people for me and decorated Li's house in an extremely festive manner, with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere and big red words of happiness posted on them.
There is also a hairdresser who is about sixty years old. She wants to comb my hair on the wedding day.
These are the rules of marriage.
First, I want eight large sedans to take He Zhi back to Li's house.
After we get married, He Zhi and I can legitimately become a family!
If she lives directly in Li's house and we get married, then this will break the rules.
Secondly, not only women need to comb their hair, men also need to comb their hair before getting married.
This should be done by the eldest member of the family.
My father passed away, He Guipao died, and my second uncle and Bai Shuangqin also had to get married on today's day. This matter could only be left to the hairdresser.
The night before, Li's house was full of banquets.
Early the next morning, I was woken up by the hairdresser and started arranging my clothes, appearance and appearance.
Paperman Xu stayed next to me for a while, and then told me that my wedding was too crowded and lively today, so he wouldn't watch it here. There weren't many people at my second uncle's side, so he had to watch it.
I don't have any other opinion.
Regarding this matter, Karamatsu had actually arranged it.
From every household, a family will attend the second uncle's wedding banquet, so it will never be deserted.
The hairdresser carefully shaved my face, trimmed my beard, and even lightly powdered my hair. Finally, she combed my hair.
When combing her hair, her tone was particularly clear and loud.
The important thing is to comb it with one comb to the end, with two combs until the white hair reaches the eyebrows, with three combs until the children and grandchildren are all over the floor, and with four combs until the four silver bamboo shoots are evenly matched!
After all this was done, it was past noon.
I went to the main hall and ate the simple porridge and soup prepared for me. The rest was to wait until it was almost dusk to pick up the bride.
During this period, the hairdresser stopped following me.
Li's house was not deserted at all, but now it was very lively.
Today is the official day, and the dignitaries, gentlemen, Taoist priests, and townspeople who came to attend the wedding arrived at dawn.
They all sat in their respective seats and chatted with each other.
I noticed that someone from the Gou family actually came.
It’s Gou Qian, the head of the Gou family, who is here! It's just that he didn't come to greet me. He just sat in the corner with Gou Lu and didn't show much face.
Some gentlemen took this opportunity to come up and talk to me. Most of them first congratulated me for becoming the gentleman of the local house at a young age, and then congratulated me on my marriage.
In addition to chatting, they also asked me some side questions about Feng Shui.
Obviously, this was a test of my abilities.
Compared with a few months ago, I pale in comparison, but now I can answer many things with ease and make these gentlemen think deeply.
Of course, this is not because of how advanced I am, but because the letters written by the previous generations of teachers in Dixianglu have given me too much experience!
Time passed quickly, and the sunlight directly overhead was no longer so bright.
Suddenly, in front of the gate, someone pulled his neck and shouted: "The auspicious time has come, the groom will get on his horse and raise his sedan chair to welcome the bride!"
The hairdresser came out of nowhere, with a festive smile on her wrinkled face, and she urged me to set off.
I straightened my clothes and looked back at the back of the main hall.
There are three spiritual tablets there!
On the left and right are the spiritual tablets of my father and Granny He. The one in the center is that of my master, Jiang Yihong, but it is a blank spiritual tablet.
Since Jiang Pan has not returned, the master cannot be buried, and naturally the memorial tablet cannot be engraved.
Leaving Li's house, the big red flower ball hanging outside the house door is a big horse from the Qiang tribe!
The hairdresser went to the back, and the person leading the horse was a neatly dressed middle-aged man, who was obviously the master of ceremonies.
Behind the horses were eight people carrying a large, square sedan chair, and Su Po arrived at the front of the sedan chair.
Starting from Li Zhai, we arrived at a mansion in Tang Town not long after.
There were also lights and colorful decorations there, and there were many children running back and forth at the door, all wearing festive red clothes.
The master of ceremonies arrived at the door of the mansion and knocked on the door.
Soon the door opened, and first a young woman came out, holding a red umbrella in her hand.
She opened the umbrella first, and then a woman walked out slowly and came under the red umbrella.
Wearing a red hijab and a Xiapei wedding dress, she was clearly He Pheasant!
Even though He Zhi was still covering his head and face, I was still fascinated by what he saw.
"The auspicious time has come, please get in the sedan chair!" the master of ceremonies shouted loudly.
The woman then supported He Zhi and entered the sedan chair.
I felt a breath pouring into my chest and abdomen, and my back straightened up instinctively!
I couldn't see my face in the afterglow of the setting sun, but I knew that my face must be glowing red at this moment.
From the corner of his eye, he watched the sedan chair behind him being lifted up, the wedding team's suona playing, and the emcee continuing to lead the way. The entire team was more lively and festive than before!
We didn't go back to Li's house directly. Instead, the master of ceremonies took us around Tang Town for a long time.
Finally, he returned to the front of Li's house.
According to the rules of wedding customs, we passed the brazier and finally arrived in the main hall amidst the festive congratulations of the guests!
I stood upright, and He Zhi was three steps away from me, with the woman supporting her.
The master of ceremonies first stood in front of the main hall door and shouted in a deep voice: "Bow down to heaven and earth!"
He Zhi and I turned around at the same time and bowed toward the outside of the house.
Immediately afterwards, the master of ceremonies shouted loudly: "Two bows to the high hall!"
Turning around again, He Fei and I worshiped the three spiritual statues at the same time.
During this period, He Fei's shoulders were shaking slightly. Obviously, she couldn't control her emotions.
I feel pity even more.
The emcee took a deep breath, spoke in a clearer tone, and shouted: "Husband and wife bow to each other!"
I turned around, and the woman supported He Zhi and bowed to me.
He Pheasant's trembling became even more severe after the prayers were finished.
Outside the hall, there was thunderous applause.
The master of ceremonies brought a red plate with two wine cups on it.
"Please invite the groom and the bride to have a drink." The master of ceremonies was obviously very happy.
I picked up the wine cup, and the woman also supported He Zhi to pick up the wine cup.
Our arms crossed each other, and He Zhi gently lifted the red hijab and drank a glass of wine.
I saw her delicate little side face, and the tears that kept falling down.
Suddenly, I felt more in my heart, and the distress and pity were several times stronger than before!
As soon as I put down the wine cup, I took He Zhi's hand from the woman's.
He Zhi's slender fingers held my palm tightly!
Taking a deep breath, I put the index and middle fingers of my other hand together and pointed diagonally at the sky.
"Li Yinyang is still the young man from Lijia Village."
I murmured each word in a low voice, but my voice gradually became more solemn and serious.
"Today, the witch of the He family has a daughter, and she will marry me, Li Yinyang, as my wife."
"Li Yinyang swears by the sky! Many guests witnessed it!"
"There are many injustices in troubled times, but Li Yinyang has a perseverance!"
"If you betray me, the sky will thunder!"
The moment I finished speaking, He Fei was already bursting into tears...
She choked with sobs and responded: "Sir, I swear that the little girl will live and die together."
