Four days passed in the blink of an eye.
The first day of the fifth lunar month.
On this day, Jinzhou City was still peaceful, and people were busy with their lives all day long.
Only today's small pawnshop with Huai character looks very festive.
There are lanterns everywhere, and rows of red lanterns hang on both sides of the street.
There are rabbit-shaped paper-cuts everywhere on the door of Huaizi Pawnshop, which is very auspicious.
"The pawnbroker finally got married!"
"I wish Mr. Zhao to have a son soon!"
"I wish the shopkeeper and his wife a long life together!"
Crowds gathered at the gate of the pawn shop. Both sides of the street were crowded with men, women and children, all smiling. Then countless words of blessing were shouted from their mouths, and they said good things to Zhao Huai at the door.
"Thank you for coming to support me!"
Zhao Huai slightly cupped his hands and thanked everyone with a smile.
He was wearing a red robe, with a red hydrangea hanging on his chest, a jade belt and a silver-red crown. He was tall and straight, and looked heroic.
Since that night, the prospective couple chatted for a long time, and after discussing it, they both wanted to hurry up and hold the wedding as soon as possible.
Both of them are casual people, so they just did it.
Because the elders of both his and Yu Qinghan's families could not come to the wedding, he could only invite these neighborhood friends with whom he had good daily relationships to attend the wedding.
"Here comes the bride! Here comes the bride!"
"I heard that he looks as good-looking as a fairy!"
"Shopkeeper Zhao is so lucky!"
As a red sedan came into view, a large number of cute children with double bun hair were running back and forth on the street, shouting childishly.
They were not idle either. They took bags filled with red dates, peanuts, wedding candies and other things and distributed them to pedestrians on both sides of the road.
These are the children invited by Zhao Huai to enhance the atmosphere of the wedding.
When getting married this time, Zhao Huai also spent a lot of money with a big wave of his hand, just to get it done in a glamorous manner.
He himself was not married until he was almost thirty years old in his previous life. He was so busy and confused all his life that he never expected that he would get married just after he turned twenty-three in this life.
Soon, Yu Qinghan, wearing a red hood, was helped out of the sedan by two beautiful maids.
She is dressed in an overlapping red skirt, with jeweled hairpins, and is so beautifully decorated that she is as delicate as a spring flower. It is impossible to describe it with words and ink. She is both stunningly beautiful and dignified.
After Yu Qinghan went through the door ceremony, he slowly entered the inner hall.
The inner hall was originally supposed to host a banquet for the families of both parties, but since they were both very special, Zhao Huai had no choice but to invite the neighbors to witness the banquet.
Not only that, even the procedures for getting married need to be streamlined.
Originally, we should first worship the church, then worship the heaven and earth, then worship the ancestors, and thirdly worship the elders. Now we can only worship the ancestors of heaven and earth.
Zhao Huai and Yu Qinghan sit opposite each other, the man is in the west and the woman is in the east, so the yin and yang meet.
In fact, the wedding day here in ancient times was not lively. "Book of Rites - Suburban Characteristics" says: "Weddings do not need to be joyful, it is the meaning of darkness. Weddings are not celebrated, it is the order of people."
"Book of Rites - Zeng Ziwen" says: "A married woman's family should refrain from performing music for three days."
However, marriage is, after all, a happy event that is "very auspicious and extremely auspicious."
In later generations, with the collapse of rituals and music and the resumption of troubled times, many rituals were abolished, and marriages began to slowly become more popular.
"Couple greetings!"
Zhao Huai and Yu Qinghan bowed opposite each other.
At this time, a young waiter brought water to the two of them to clean their hands, and another waiter poured wine. The two exchanged glasses. Before drinking, they cut off a lock of each other's hair with scissors and tied it together to express concentricity. This is called "knot". hair".
It is precisely "when we become husband and wife, we have no doubt about our love."
After drinking a glass of wine, the two held their hands tightly together, which symbolized holding the hand of their son, growing old together with him, and never losing each other in this life.
At this point, the wedding ceremony is over and it’s time for the bride and groom to go out to receive guests.
During this session, many men toasted to Yu Qinghan one after another. They said they were toasting, but they just wanted to see what the bride looked like. Zhao Huai couldn't bear it, but they were all blocked by Zhao Huai.
Naturally, it immediately aroused "public outrage" and attracted a large number of drunkards to drink and drink, clamoring that they would not return until they were drunk.
But these ordinary people are not as good as Zhao Huai, who is already half a monk. He can cure hangovers, and naturally he can drink a thousand glasses of wine. After drinking a few rocks of wine, he is still not drunk and very energetic.
There were more than a dozen tables at the wedding venue, and each table was filled with Manchu and Han banquets. Zhao Huai just accompanied the guests like this, unable to move away, and the time flew by very quickly.
"Doctor Yan is here!"
I saw a thin, middle-aged man in Tsing Yi walking in quickly with a smile.
"Hey! Isn't this the famous doctor Saiyan Wang from Jinzhou Wenyan?"
When Zhao Huai saw the visitor, he was extremely happy, but there was a bit of ridicule in his tone.
Yan Jing is a famous doctor in Jinzhou who can save lives and heal the wounded. His medical skills are superb and he can deal with all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. He is highly praised by the people. It is said that as long as he is not completely dead, He can be saved.
The fees are relatively fair, unlike those unscrupulous quack doctors who charge several times the money but still fail to treat people.
His surname is Yan, which has the same pronunciation as Yan, so his nickname is also Saiyanwang. People often jokingly call him a fistfight with the King of Hell and a challenge to the gods.
When Zhao Huai first came to Jinzhou, the situation was still very turbulent, and a terrible plague happened to break out.
No matter how powerful Yan Jing was at that time, he could not stop the large-scale spread. It was Zhao Huai who found him later and proposed many methods to prevent and treat infectious diseases, as well as treatment methods, which suppressed the spread of the disease. The plague continued to break out.
So the two met and became good friends.
And more importantly, this Yan Jing is still a hidden monk. Although his cultivation level is not as high as that of Zhao Huai, it cannot be denied that when his level was still low, Zhao Huai had asked him for advice on cultivation issues more than once.
"What a good boy, you are already married. I thought you were going to be single for the rest of your life just like me!"
Yan Jing picked up a glass of wine, smiled and cursed at Zhao Huai.
"You, the bride, look extraordinary."
Yan Jing took a sip of wine and laughed.
"It's pretty. That's because I have good taste."
Zhao Huai curled his lips and said proudly.
"You're still arrogant in front of me, right? Be careful I pawn you off that day!"
"Just try, you are no match for me now."
"Okay, now your kid has soared into the sky, and you don't even take me seriously anymore."
The two chatted for a long time, and Yan Jing's expression suddenly became serious, and he said seriously:
"Brother Zhao, you may have a big deal in the next two days, you have to take advantage of it."
"oh?"
Zhao Huai raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
His relationship with Yan Jing is not only a good friend, but also a cooperative relationship.
The source of his pawnshop business usually relies on Yan Jing's recommendation, and his gossip in Daxia is definitely top-notch.
"The news I got from Yancheng is that a profiteer secretly transported a cart of stolen goods and found many pawn shops, but no one dared to buy it. It was very mysterious and they didn't know what was inside. I dare say that in the whole Jinzhou, the most valuable The only person with good eyesight is you.”
"The deal is done, you don't have to work for half a year."
"But I'm not interested." Zhao Huai smiled lightly.
"How can you not be interested in money that's just free of charge?"
Yan Jing also smiled.
"When you make enough money, you will be free from wealth." Zhao Huai shrugged.
"Okay, whatever you want."
Since Zhao Huai doesn't care, Yan Jing is also asking for trouble. Instead, he tells another news: "The exercise auction you asked about will start tomorrow afternoon. Just don't forget it then."
"knew."
Zhao Huai nodded, this news was still very important to him.
Since he had received the fate of [Heavenly Heart Wisdom Eye], he couldn't waste it, so he naturally had to get a few more books to learn the exercises.
