Xu Shuxin, Ma Chunhua and others whispered and came up with a good idea to embarrass them. Before the bride gets on the sedan, she needs to shoot an arrow. The groom has to bend his bow and shoot an arrow, and hit the curtain of the sedan, which means that all disasters will disappear. .
Xu Shuxin asked Tieniu to bring the iron tire bow enshrined in the village. It weighed ten kilograms and required three hundred stones of arm strength to pull it open.
Tie Niuxin said that these girls are really good at playing. You must know that ordinary people can't draw this iron bow. Only a general from the ancestor of Dongxiang Village can draw it, and it was he who stayed to bless Dongxiang Village.
The iron bow was brought up. When Meng Xingzhou saw this big bow, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a good bow!"
Lin Mingyuan asked worriedly: "I said, can you pull away?"
Meng Xingzhou weighed the iron bow, tested the tension and said, "I'm not worried about not being able to pull it open. Secondly, I'm afraid that once it's pulled open, the iron bow will be too lethal, and it won't be good if it hurts Guo'er." ”
Lin Mingyuan said: "Then you have to shoot an arrow. According to the rules, you should shoot this arrow!"
Meng Xingzhou said: "It doesn't matter, I have my own way! They just want to embarrass us. If I take care of Guo'er, I have to be embarrassed and unable to draw the bow. If I draw the bow, in order not to hurt Guo'er, I have to be struck by the bowstring. Yes, don’t worry, I naturally know what they are thinking! I will teach them what it means to be strong in martial arts!"
Then, Meng Xingzhou came to the house and joined hands with Sheng Guoer to serve tea to Mr. Shen.
"Mother-in-law, please drink tea!" Meng Xingzhou respectfully presented the tea cup to Mrs. Shen.
As the saying goes, the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more interesting she becomes. Especially when her own son-in-law is so outstanding, capable, and handsome, Mrs. Shen is so proud that she would fly to the sky.
Mrs. Shen took the tea, took a sip happily, and said, "Okay, be good. Be kind to Guo'er from now on!"
Sheng Guoer also respectfully picked up the teacup and said, "Please mother, please have tea!"
With a bright smile, Mrs. Shen took the tea cup and took a sip, and said, "Be good, from now on you will marry and obey your husband, take care of your husband and raise your children, treat your parents-in-law well, and be diligent and thrifty in running the house. Do you understand?"
Sheng Guoer bowed slightly and replied: "I understand, mother."
Once outside, Sheng Guoer got on the sedan chair and it was time to perform the shooting ceremony. Xu Shuxin and others all wanted to see Meng Xingzhou's joke.
However, at this moment, Meng Xingzhou smiled slightly, and then with luck, he pulled the iron bow halfway, and then formed an invisible air arrow. A powerful force was released, and the curtain of the sedan chair trembled slightly. Everyone was shocked by this martial arts. arrive.
Xu Shuxin praised: "What a great Meng Xingzhou, this kind of martial arts is really rare in the world!"
Sheng Guoer was happy to see her husband so wise, but when the matchmaker said: "Please throw the fan to the bride!", Sheng Guoer was still a little reluctant to give up.
The bride throws the fan out of the sedan, which indicates that she will bid farewell to her natal family and become the daughter-in-law of another family. It also indicates that she has become an adult.
But every bride was reluctant to part with her fan when she threw it. Sheng Guoer squeezed the fan tightly before throwing it out.
The matchmaker shouted again: "Ask the bride to throw her fan!"
Mrs. Shen didn't throw away her fan when she saw her daughter. She knew in her heart that she suppressed her reluctance and said softly beside the sedan chair: "Guo'er, please continue with the ceremony. Don't miss the auspicious moment!"
Sheng Guoer had no choice but to gently throw the fan out of the sedan. The matchmaker breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Get up the sedan!"
The eight-carriage sedan was lifted up by the bearers. Meng Xingzhou whipped his horse and walked in front of him in high spirits.
Mrs. Shen was chasing after the sedan chair. Sheng Guoer opened the curtain of the sedan chair and looked back. Tears flowed down uncontrollably. She saw Mrs. Shen still chasing the sedan chair. Mrs. Shen's legs were not very good and she staggered. Sheng Guoer's reluctance to chase after Sheng Guoer's sedan chair will be unforgettable for the rest of her life.
In the blink of an eye, the sedan entered the corner and disappeared. Mrs. Shen cried, looking at her leaving daughter, crying.
When they arrived at the Meng Mansion, they saw a red carpet on the ground. Xiniang said loudly: "Please change your clothes!"
With the support of Xi Niang, Sheng Guoer went to the dressing room, put on her skirt, and combed her hair. Then, Xu Shuxin and Ma Chunhua put on the formal attire of the bridesmaids and waited behind Sheng Guoer.
Over there, Meng Xingzhou completed her hairdo and wore her crown uniform, and then a newlywed couple came to the door.
"Newcomers are promoted! Promotion step by step!"
I saw several servants of the Meng Mansion lifting the jade steps one by one. Sheng Guoer and Meng Xingzhou slowly went up the steps and entered the wedding hall. During this process, Meng Xingzhou was guarding Sheng Guoer. , holding her hand tightly, for fear that she would fall.
When I came to the main hall, I saw Xi Niang bringing a basin of water and said, "Please clean your hands and face, please!" This is the rule of the wedding. Before the ceremony, the newlyweds must wash their hands and face, which symbolizes the purity and solemnity of the entire ceremony.
Only then did Sheng Guoer realize that the ancients also attached great importance to cleanliness. Cleaning hands and face is the beginning of all etiquette, and it also heralds the beginning of a new life for a new person.
Then, Sheng Guoer took off her shoes under the guidance of Xi Niang, and the newlyweds, accompanied by the bridesmaid and best man, walked into the lobby to start the ceremony.
I saw Meng Xingzhou happily holding Sheng Guoer's hand and coming to his parents with a smile on his face. The big red word "happy" was hung on the wall in the center. The chief of ceremonies said loudly: "Although the gift is simple, Hongyi Zelong, the sky is superior and the earth is humble, the king, the village, and the ministers are respectful. When husband and wife get married, the luan and the phoenix follow the dragon. There is no order, and the family is prosperous and the country is prosperous."
Then, the chief of ceremonies said loudly: "The newlyweds will worship heaven and earth together."
As soon as he finished speaking, a maid from the Meng family stepped forward and took off the marriage flowers from the hands of Sheng Guoer and Meng Xingzhou. Sheng Guoer and Meng Xingzhou stepped forward, and the ceremonial officer said loudly: "Kneel down!"
Meng Xingzhou and Sheng Guoer both knelt down and worshiped heaven and earth together. Then the chief of ceremonies loudly said: "Get up!"
Sheng Guoer and Meng Xingzhou both stood up and faced their parents. The chief of ceremonies came down from the hall and said loudly: "Bow down to the high hall!"
The maid placed the mat in front of Meng Zhengtang and Chen on the right. Sheng Guoer and Meng Xingzhou both knelt in front of their parents and saluted.
Mrs. Chen looked at the beautiful Sheng Guo'er with a bright smile. Sheng Guo'er and Meng Xingzhou said to Meng Zhengtang and Mrs. Chen: "Children meet their parents. I only wish that my parents are healthy, the house is safe, and the livestock are prosperous. My husband and I will work together to Help each other, respect your parents, be respectful to your brothers and sisters, live in harmony with your sisters-in-law, and listen to your parents’ teachings!”
Then, Sheng Guoer served tea and said: "Dad, please drink tea!" Meng Zhengtang took the tea with a straight face, took a sip and said: "From now on, we must obey the three obediences and the four virtues, abide by the rules of the Meng family, do not make mistakes, and do good for others." The Meng family is spreading its branches and leaves, giving birth to and raising children, and supporting husbands and children. There must be no wrongdoing. If there is any violation, you will not be spared!"
Sheng Guoer thought to herself that this old man Meng really dared to give him power, huh, let's see who is more powerful.
After all, Sheng Guoer is not an ancient person. She is a girl with modern thinking. How can she be subject to these restrictions? She can promise to stick to it till the end, but she can't stand these feudal customs and rules.
Meng Xingzhou was naturally overjoyed. After serving tea to his parents, the chief of ceremonies said, "Thank you, relatives and friends!"
Meng Xingzhou and Sheng Guoer paid their respects to relatives and friends from all over the world, indicating that the couple was grateful to relatives and friends from all over the world.
Then, the chief of ceremonies said: "The ceremony is completed, let's have a banquet!"
But when the drummers began to play and sing, and the singers danced gracefully, Sheng Guoer accompanied her husband to sit at the main table, drinking happily with the guests from all over, and celebrating the wedding together.
After the joyful banquet, everyone wanted to have a wedding party, but Lin Mingyuan and others blocked them back: "Hey, hey, let's give the bride and groom some time to themselves, okay? Let's go out and drink, go out and drink!"
After saying that, Lin Mingyuan, Hong Shiqing and others left Meng Xingzhou and Sheng Guoer's new house with the guests who were preparing for the wedding.
In the new house, Sheng Guoer was a little nervous. After all, she was going to pay homage to Duke Zhou tonight, and she was still a little nervous facing Meng Xingzhou.
But Meng Xingzhou seemed even more nervous than she was, with his feet on the ground almost leaving the three rooms and two living rooms.
When Sheng Guoer saw that Meng Xingzhou still hadn't taken any action, she said, "Husband, it's time for us to go to bed."
Meng Xingzhou coughed and said, "That, that..."
Sheng Guoer said to her heart that you are not good at it! He immediately said, "Why don't you lift your hijab and look at me?"
After hearing this, Meng Xingzhou lifted Sheng Guoer's hijab. Under the candlelight, what appeared in front of Meng Xingzhou was a charming and beautiful woman. Meng Xingzhou's hands trembled slightly and he swallowed his saliva.
Sheng Guoer suddenly pulled Meng Xingzhou over and then pushed him down on the bed.
"Oh my God, what are you doing!"
The gauze curtain was lowered, blocking the two of them, but Meng Xingzhou's call came.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Sheng Guoer ended Meng Xingzhou's shouting with a brief sentence.
Falling red is not a heartless thing. A moment in the spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. It turns into spring mud to protect the flowers. A pear tree crushes the begonia. From now on, the world will never forget it.
The next day, Sheng Guoer woke up from her sleep and looked at Meng Xingzhou's sleeping appearance. She liked it and kissed him gently on the forehead.
Today is a brand new day for Sheng Guoer, but there is a big problem in front of her.
That is to identify all the relatives of the Meng family.
The Meng family is a big family, and all the sisters-in-law and relatives live in the same courtyard. Meng Zhengtang is the eldest, and he has two younger brothers, Meng Mingtang and Meng Shutang. Meng Mingtang is married to Liu, who is the daughter of a wealthy family in Xichuan; Meng Shutang married Lu, a woman from a wealthy family in Ping'an Township.
In addition to his half-brother Meng Heyou, Meng Xingzhou also has a cousin Meng Zixuan and a cousin Meng Mingyang.
Meng Mingyang had a wife named Li, and Meng Zixuan had not yet left the court.
This was only from the Meng family. There were also relatives from the old lady’s natal family who also lived in Xifeng Village. Sheng Guoer had to remember all the names of her uncles and aunts.
Therefore, Sheng Guoer, who was a little confused about the title in modern times, now that she sees so many relatives, it is really difficult for her to be honest.
Xu Cuiyu was released. After all, Meng Zhengtang still had feelings for her, so Xu Cuiyu vented all her anger on Sheng Guoer and said to Meng Zhengtang: "Master, the baby born to the new daughter-in-law must be Teach her to understand the rules. At least learn to call others!"
Meng Zhengtang said in his heart that it was indeed true, and it was about his own face, so he ordered: "After Sheng Guoer serves his wife's tea, she must remember the names and looks of all her relatives in one day. There will be a family banquet tomorrow. Sheng Guoer can’t make any mistakes, otherwise the family law will be dealt with!”
Then, Xu Cuiyu asked her servants to draw the portraits of all the women in the family very similar, as well as the men. Then she wrote their names and gave them to Sheng Guoer.
Sheng Guoer looked at these portraits and names and frowned: "They all look the same, how should I recognize them!"
Meng Xingzhou said: "It's okay, I will give you some advice when the time comes. In addition, I will redraw the portraits of these people for you!"
But at this moment, someone suddenly sent word that the master was sending young master Meng Xingzhou to visit the store!
