Chapter 327: A man crying, so what? [Thank you all for your support!]
Quyuan Street.
At the gate of the Yongyi Marquis Prefecture.
The wedding procession came all the way here with music playing.
Near the gate, there were many family members of the Marquis Prefecture's old acquaintances, as well as Bianjing commoners who loved to watch the excitement, following on the outside of the wedding procession.
You know, sometimes the groom is blocked by the bride's family.
When admitting defeat, it is possible to throw red paper packets containing dates, cakes, steamed buns, or copper coins to the onlookers.
Seeing Hu Yanjiong, dressed in a bright red wedding suit, along with the family members decorated with silk flowers on their heads, and the sons of his maternal Pan family, dismounted together.
Looking at the group of people standing at the gate, Seeing Hu Yanjiong cupped his hands and smiled: "Brothers, please show mercy!"
The teenagers behind Seeing Hu Yanjiong accompanied him with a smile.
Seeing this group of civil and military youths behind Xu Xu Zaizhang, let alone now, even before the Jinghai Marquis Prefecture had an accident, they were a bit terrified.
"Jiong Ge, today you are marrying my sister. There are civil barriers and martial barriers. Which one will you pass first?"
Hearing Xu Xu Zaizhang's words, Seeing Hu Yanjiong looked at the sons beside him and smiled bitterly:
"Third Brother, I don't know about the martial barrier, will Fifth Brother be there?"
Xu Xu Zaizhang: "Naturally, he will."
Seeing Hu Yanjiong looked at his cousins, and everyone shook their heads slightly. They had heard of the name of Xu Zaijing, the little demon star.
Seeing Hu Yanjiong turned his head and was about to admit defeat when he saw Xu Zaijing behind Xu Xu Zaizhang blink his left eye and look straight at him.
In an instant, Seeing Hu Yanjiong had a flash of inspiration, and the good times he had with Xu Zaijing on the polo field flashed through his mind.
"Good! Then I will break through the martial barrier first!"
As soon as Seeing Hu Yanjiong said this,
His cousins beside him all showed surprise.
The commoners watching the excitement nearby cheered for Seeing Hu Yanjiong after hearing his words.
Not far away, the Bianjing yamen runner responsible for maintaining order looked back and said to his colleague beside him:
"This Huyan family's young master has a personality that doesn't admit defeat!"
The yamen runner surnamed Li glared at a thief in the crowd and said: "The two families are getting married, do you think Xu family's young master would really make things difficult for his brother-in-law?"
"Hiss, what Head Li said is right!"
When the two were talking, Qingyun had already moved a table out.
Xu Xu Zaizhang smiled slightly and said: "Jiong Ge, come, first barrier, arm wrestling!"
Seeing Hu Yanjiong walked to the table with a smile, looked at Xu Zaijing who came out from behind Xu Xu Zaizhang, and nodded with a smile on his lips.
Afterward, the two bent down, placed their elbows on the table, and gripped their right hands together.
Seeing Hu Yanjiong glanced at the Xu family relatives at the table, then looked at Xu Xu Zaizhang, who was acting as the referee, and whispered to Xu Zaijing in front of him: "Jing Ge, good brother!"
Xu Zaijing looked at Seeing Hu Yanjiong, full of smiles, and also whispered: "En en! Good brother!"
"Start!"
"Slap!"
Seeing Hu Yanjiong looked blankly at his arm pressed to the table, and then glanced at Xu Zaijing, who stood up and waved to the onlookers.
All around were the cheers of the onlookers.
Seeing Hu Yanjiong smiled bitterly, knowing that he had fallen into Xu Zaijing's trap.
Looking at Xu Zaijing looking over proudly, Seeing Hu Yanjiong: "You kid!"
At this time,
Whether it was the old acquaintances of the Marquis Prefecture or the onlookers, they all cheered.
This was because the maids of the Huyan family were throwing dates and roasted beans to the commoners, mixed with copper coins and steamed buns.
Fortunately, the ones who came up later were Xu Xu Zaizhang and Gu Tingyu.
Although Xu Xu Zaizhang also exercised on weekdays, he was not as strong as Seeing Hu Yanjiong. After holding on for a while, his hand was pressed to the table.
The Xu family lost one round.
Then women like Hua Qing, Qingyun's wife, held the far end of the winnowing basket with her left hand, the near end stuck to her waist, and after walking to the onlookers, she grabbed a handful of red paper packets from the basket and threw them out.
Another cheer.
The last one to come up was Gu Tingyu, who was also passed by Seeing Hu Yanjiong.
Behind was the civil barrier.
Seeing Hu Yanjiong had a hard time with the government examination questions, although Gu Tingyu tried his best to let him win.
But... the winnowing basket at the waist of the Huyan family's maid was about to be empty.
Fortunately, there was a son of the Pan family who studied, and after barely answering, Seeing Hu Yanjiong was able to enter the Xu family gate.
In the hall.
Xu Zaijing looked at his eldest brother Xu Zaiduan, who was standing in front of the chair where his father should have been sitting, beside Xu Xu Zaizhang.
On the other side, his sister Pingmei and second sister-in-law Hualan were both pregnant and did not attend. Only Xie Shi stood beside her mother.
Sitting on the chairs were the elders of the family, and around them were servants and maids,
Whispering from time to time, making the room very lively.
Looking at Seeing Hu Yanjiong, who was standing in the middle of the hall holding red silk flowers, somewhat constrained.
Xu Zaijing knew that this was because when everyone in the hall was whispering, they all had to look at him, obviously related to him.
Amidst the happy shouts of the Full-Fortune Madam.
Xu Zaijing saw his sister Anmei wearing a green wedding dress, wearing an exquisite colorful crown, holding a round fan in her hand, and walking over with the help of the Full-Fortune Madam.
Anmei stood beside Seeing Hu Yanjiong under the guidance of the Full-Fortune Madam, and the Full-Fortune Madam took the red silk flower from Seeing Hu Yanjiong's hand.
In Xu Zaijing's line of sight, his sister holding the round fan and Seeing Hu Yanjiong, who was somewhat constrained and nervous, looked at each other for some reason.
Then they separated quickly, and Seeing Hu Yanjiong's face turned red visibly.
Laughter of everyone rose in the hall.
Both of them were even more nervous.
Afterward.
Qingcao walked to the two of them with a tray holding tea cups.
Seeing Hu Yanjiong's hands trembled slightly as he picked up the tea cup, walked to Sun Shi, lowered his head, and bowed: "Mother-in-law, please have tea!"
Sun Shi looked at Seeing Hu Yanjiong with a satisfied look in her eyes, took the tea cup, took a sip, and after some instructions, Seeing Hu Yanjiong and Anmei hurriedly responded.
After Sun Shi put down the tea cup, Huaxiang hurriedly walked to the newlyweds with a tray.
Seeing Hu Yanjiong took a deep breath, picked up the tea cup with both hands, walked to Xu Zaiduan, who was standing, and bowed:
"Please, Brother, have tea on behalf of Father-in-law."
Xu Zaiduan smiled and picked up the tea cup, also took a sip, and after some instructions, Zaiduan continued:
"Father specifically instructed me to convey this."
Seeing Hu Yanjiong bowed even deeper.
"Father said, these days, you have worked hard! Father has kept it in his heart."
After these words were said.
The sons of the Huyan and Pan families outside the hall looked at each other in surprise.
In the hall, Sun Shi, who was sitting on the side, also looked at Seeing Hu Yanjiong with a gentle smile.
Catching falcons in the Jin Kingdom, entering the river in winter.
Seeing Hu Yanjiong, who was bowing, only felt his nose sore and his eye sockets hot. When he looked up, it was a bit blurry.
"I will remember, son-in-law..."
"Daughter, I will remember."
This made Anmei, who had some parting sorrow and depression in her heart, not know what to do:
This... shouldn't I be the one crying!
Why are you crying!
Zaiduan looked at Seeing Hu Yanjiong's appearance, hurriedly stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and wiped his tears for him.
Afterward, Zaiduan looked at his sister Anmei, smiled, and said: "Go!"
The Full-Fortune Madam on the side heard Zaiduan's words and shouted loudly: "Groom, Bride, let's go out!"
Before, when Pingmei got married, it was eldest brother Zaiduan who carried Pingmei out to the sedan chair, and Xu Xu Zaizhang followed the wedding procession to the Gu house.
When Anmei got married, it was Xu Xu Zaizhang who carried Anmei out of the gate, and Xu Zaijing followed behind to the Huyan house.
Xu Zaijing didn't ride one of the divine horses like the Li Ju, to avoid stealing the groom's limelight, so he rode a normal one.
After some excitement, Xu Zaijing rode his horse and talked with the Huyan and Pan family sons, following behind.
Behind them was a long procession carrying the dowry.
The dowry of 128 loads was spectacular.
Anmei in the sedan chair, looking at the round fan in her hand, listening to the festive music outside, and thinking of Seeing Hu Yanjiong's crying appearance, she pouted.
Wei Yuyi and her husband put the last piece of luggage into the room.
Standing at the door.
Looking at the courtyard that was small but had everything it needed, Wei Yuyi smiled and said to her husband:
"This landlord is really too good to us! Such a well-located courtyard, actually let us live in it!"
"Mother has a maid to look after her, let's go out and buy some vegetables, and have a good meal tonight."
The sturdy man said: "Then when will you go to your sister's place and say something? We came to the capital, but didn't write a letter."
Wei Yuyi sighed and said:
"Wait until we have settled down, then we will invite sister to come home and take a look."
The man said: "Can it work? Can Eldest Sister come out?"
Wei Yuyi turned her head and looked at her mother in the room whose eyes were a bit inconvenient, saying:
"Sister, she also gave birth to a son for the Sheng family."
"Haven't seen her mother's family for so many years, it should be fine to come out for a trip!"
"If she is not allowed to come out, it won't sound good to say it out, and it won't be good for Minister Sheng's official reputation."
The man nodded.
Afterward, after Wei Yuyi gave a few instructions, she walked out with her husband.
On the way.
"I don't know if sister can eat Chuzhou dishes in the Sheng family. Let's go find a place that sells fish first."
Wei Yuyi said, asking and inquiring with passersby commoners with her husband.
"Selling fish? The Qiao family's aquatic business is big. Just go forward two blocks and turn right, that's it!"
Listening to the directions of the street vendor, Wei Yuyi and her husband hurriedly thanked him.
Before they reached the second block, they heard festive music playing.
When they reached the intersection, it was already full of commoners watching the excitement.
Wei Yuyi also happened to see someone holding a ceremonial wooden sign tied with red silk, leading the way and passing in front of the crowd.
Wei Yuyi and her husband squeezed forward. Looking at the lively wedding procession, Wei Yuyi said to a woman in a simple dress beside her:
"This sister, whose family is getting married? It's truly spectacular!"
The woman looked at Wei Yuyi's silver hairpin and silk clothes and hurriedly smiled: "Back to you, Madam! This is the daughter of the Yongyi Marquis Xu family getting married, marrying the son of the former Jinghai Marquis Huyan family."
Hearing this, Wei Yuyi nodded.
Wei Yuyi's husband heard this and looked at Wei Yuyi in surprise: "Madam, Yongyi Marquis? That's the family that invited you on the boat, right?"
Wei Yuyi nodded.
Soon, the groom riding a big horse passed by from the front.
In the wedding procession.
Xu Zaijing was riding on a horse, talking to people while scanning the roadside.
Suddenly, Xu Zaijing was stunned. After the Pan family son beside him noticed, he said: "Jing Ge, what's wrong?"
Xu Zaijing: "Nothing! Saw an acquaintance."
Walking forward, when passing the intersection, Xu Zaijing nodded to Wei Yuyi in the crowd and said: "Madam Wei, long time no see!"
Wei Yuyi's face was full of surprise. She smiled and bowed, saying: "Greetings, Young Master!"
This exchange caused the Bianjing commoners on the side to look at Wei Yuyi one after another.
After the wedding procession passed, the woman in the simple dress looked at Wei Yuyi in surprise and said: "This Madam, where are you going?"
Arriving at the Huyan family's new residence.
After some excitement, the newlyweds entered the hall.
Huyan Hai and Madam Pan were sitting in the upper seats at this time, looking at the young couple walking in with a smile.
Standing beside them were Seeing Hu Yanjiong's brother and sister-in-law.
Sitting around the room were the elders of the Huyan family, as well as the Daniangzi of the third and fourth branches. Behind several Daniangzi stood their respective daughters-in-law and maids.
Seeing Anmei enter the room, there was a happy look in everyone's eyes.
Nowadays, the Yongyi Marquis is in use. If this marriage is concluded, in the future, whether it is the official career of the children or the family economy, it will be much better than before.
Huyan Hai and his wife had smiles on their faces as they drank the tea offered by Seeing Hu Yanjiong and Anmei.
After the couple bowed to each other, amidst the sound of "Send to the bridal chamber,"
Madam Pan and Huyan Hai looked at each other, and then looked at their son walking out of the hall with relief.
After Seeing Hu Yanjiong and Anmei completed the procedures of tying hair and drinking the nuptial wine, they were pulled out to toast, and soon only Anmei and the maid were left in the bridal chamber.
After Ye'er closed the bedroom door, Anmei also put down the round fan.
After the master and servant looked at each other, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterward, Ye'er took off the colorful crown for Anmei and said:
"Young Lady, rest for a while. Don't worry, I have sent a little maid to watch at the courtyard gate. When Jiong... the master comes, we will put it on again!"
Anmei nodded.
At the Huyan family's wedding banquet.
Huyan Hai and Madam Pan were holding wine glasses with smiles, toasting their relatives, laughing until their faces were sore.
By the end of the Xu Shi hour (after 9:00 PM).
The guests were all arranged properly.
Madam Pan then sat on the chair in the bedroom and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Huyan Hai was also in high spirits due to the happy event. Although he had drunk a lot of wine, he was still sober.
With the support of his personal servant, Huyan Hai also returned to the room.
The maid exited the room, and the couple drank hangover soup, chatting one sentence after another.
"Husband, did you know what the Xu family's eldest son said on behalf of the Marquis of Xu today?"
Huyan Hai breathed out a breath of wine and said: "I know, they still remember Jiong Ge's goodness."
Madam Pan sighed and said: "Jiong Ge is also, one sentence, how could he cry directly!"
Leaning on the backrest, Huyan Hai, who was a bit dizzy from drinking, closed his eyes and said: "Madam, men's affairs, you don't understand."
"Husband, then tell me?"
Huyan Hai opened his eyes and said:
"This daughter-in-law of ours was chosen by our son himself."
"Catching a wild goose in the Jin Kingdom is sincere enough, but in the end, Jiong Er even caught several falcons, suffering a lot."
Madam Pan said: "Your son is just stupid!"
Huyan Hai smiled, looked at Madam Pan with full love, and said: "Is it like me back then?"
Madam Pan didn't know what she thought of, rolled her eyes at her husband, and said: "Talk about Jiong Er!"
Huyan Hai nodded and said: "The family has encountered major events. Jiong Er has suffered a lot for the family and for himself."
Madam Pan took a deep breath, looked at the high curtains, and didn't speak.
Huyan Hai continued: "He suffered for achieving his goal. This suffering is known, understood, and appreciated by someone. Why can't Jiong Er cry!"
Madam Pan nodded, and she also understood a little.
Because after she gave birth to the child before, her husband didn't go to see the child, but came to her side and said that sentence "Madam, you have worked hard," and her heart would also feel sour and astringent.
Thinking of these, Madam Pan felt comforted in her heart, looked at Huyan Hai who closed his eyes again, and said: "Such a good daughter-in-law, then should I give more tomorrow?"
"Hmm!"
The next day.
Anmei and Seeing Hu Yanjiong, this young couple, were going to offer tea.
