Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 123 He Yuzhu gets married and all the beasts are shocked

In the blink of an eye, the next day is the day to send the dowry. In the past, the dowry was not brought home with the bride on the wedding day, but was delivered in advance.

Poor families usually carry twelve or sixteen bags, but of course there are even fewer. They only have a few things commonly used by women, and they hire shoulder-bearers to deliver them without lifting them.

The Xu family has now escaped from poverty, and the family has become relatively wealthy. It took thirty-two lifts directly, and the first one on top was a house deed, and the two in the alley outside the front door entered the courtyard.

Behind them were Xu Huizhen's jewelry, furniture, seasonal clothing, daily necessities, kitchen supplies and other items, all delivered to her house on Yandai Xiejie.

He Daqing took the lead and invited Xu Hui, who was delivering the dowry, to come in for tea and have some fun before heading back.

Next it was He Yuzhu's turn to go to Xu's house to thank her.

He Yuzhu's father-in-law and mother-in-law were wearing new clothes and sitting on both sides of the Eight Immortals table. After He Yuzhu entered the room, a mat had been spread on the ground and a cushion was placed on it.

He Yuzhu followed the rules, knelt down, and kowtowed. This was to thank Zhuang.

Xu Hui quickly helped He Yuzhu up and invited him to sit down at the table to drink tea. Then he grabbed some candies and spread them outside the door. The children who were watching the fun got the candies and left happily one by one.

The Xu family was now at peace. He Yuzhu accompanied him and talked for a while. Suddenly, he saw the door of the back room flashed a crack, and Xu Hui was really hiding behind it to peek.

He Yuzhu smiled at him, Xu Huizhen quickly closed the door, covered her face with shame, and returned to the bed to lie down.

When He Yuzhu came in, he saw Xu Huizhen lying on it, reached out and patted her beautiful buttocks, and asked with a smile: "Huizhen, do you miss me?"

Xu Huizhen was suddenly frightened and exclaimed in a low voice. Then she covered her butt with her backhand, turned around and said with a red face: "Who told you to hit me here? Bad guy, I don't miss you."

He Yuzhu looked at the shy face in front of him and said with a smile: "Your people will be mine in two days, why can't I do whatever I want?"

"Bah, you big hooligan, you are talking nonsense."

Xu Huizhen sat up and was teased a few more times by He Yuzhu. She really couldn't stand the dirty words, so Xu Huizhen dragged He Yuzhu out of the room.

The next day was not the official day, but various preparations needed to be carried out. A wedding tent was set up in the yard. The chef asked Uncle Gui to take care of it, and several senior brothers helped.

He Daqing definitely couldn't get started. Originally, the master wanted to do it himself, but He Yuzhu stopped him. How could the apprentice get married and let the master cook for him.

Seeing that He Yuzhu insisted on this, Hong Henian gave up and took his wife and children to help everywhere.

He Daqing came over and asked, "Do you want to invite the neighbors from the courtyard?"

He Yuzhu thought about it and said, "It's better to invite. Even if I didn't go to the ceremony when Jia Dongxu got married, I won't invite the Jia family this time."

"That's good, it saves Jia Dongxu from coming over to make trouble."

He Daqing took the time to go back to the courtyard. He first spoke to Yan Bugui and asked him to help notify the neighbors in the front yard, and then entered Yi Zhonghai's home in the middle courtyard.

When Aunt Yi saw He Daqing come in, she said with a cold face: "Who asked you to come in?"

"Look how you are still angry after more than a year!"

As He Daqing spoke, he walked up to Aunt Yi, stretched out his arms to hold Aunt Yi in his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her, but Aunt Yi swayed left and right and refused to let her go.

He Daqing lost his temper, fixed her head, and then kissed her heavily.

Aunt Yi resisted at first, but later she gave in. After we separated, Aunt Yi said angrily: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Lao Yi and let him settle the score with you?"

"I still have an account I want to settle with him. I have raised his woman, Widow Bai, and his child for two years. Does Lao Yi want to give me the living expenses for these two years?"

After hearing this, Aunt Yi rolled her eyes in anger. The white widow was the pain in her heart forever. She couldn't give birth, but Yi Zhonghai actually raised two sons outside her back.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have slept with He Daqing in order to take revenge on Yi Zhonghai.

But He Daqing was also an unkind person, so he turned around and married a twenty-year-old girl.

In the past two years, the two have not had the chance to meet again, and the quarrel has been postponed until now.

"You still have the nerve to ask for living expenses. You have been sleeping with Lao Yi's little wife for two years, and you haven't even let go of his eldest wife. What else do you want?"

He Daqing said with a smile: "Think about it, so I still take advantage?"

"Okay, don't be dissatisfied. Why are you here today? Aren't you going to help?" Aunt Yi didn't bother to talk to him and asked directly.

He Daqing said: "I haven't formally invited you before. Shouldn't I go back to the courtyard to inform you?"

"Okay, we'll be there tomorrow."

Aunt Yi was still angry and drove He Daqing out. He Daqing smiled and went to the backyard to inform.

The first day was spent on preparations, and the next day was the official day. He Yuzhu got up early and put on brand new Jifu.

He Yuzhu is still a little lucky. Although the country has been liberated for several years, people still use their previous habits in their daily lives.

Of course, there are also some open-minded people who use Western-style weddings, wearing suits and red ties, and riding bicycles to pick up the bride.

However, most people still follow the ancient tradition and hold Chinese weddings.

He Yuzhu had seen so many new-style weddings that he decided to stick to the old-fashioned wedding style and marry Xu Huizhen in a sedan chair.

Soon the auspicious time for the wedding arrived, and the team to welcome the bride set off immediately. The one at the front was called the "top horse", followed by the avoidance cards, drummers, gongs, lanterns, flags, etc.

In addition to them, there are two people who have the most important responsibility to prevent evil spirits. They each hold a piece of red felt and accompany the sedan on both sides. When they encounter Jingquan Temple on the way, they must open the red felt to cover the bride's sedan chair to prevent evil spirits from causing trouble.

In addition, two married ladies and two official guests accompanied them.

According to convention, newlyweds must use a sedan to marry. This is a formal wedding. The bride's sedan cannot be left empty. There must be a young child with both parents sitting in it to hold down the sedan, and a teapot in his hand, commonly known as a teapot carrier. .

There is some water in the teapot, and a bat-shaped red velvet flower is stuck on a piece of tofu, which symbolizes lifelong happiness.

He Yuzhu was wrapped in red satin with a big red flower on it. He was riding a tall horse and bowed his hands in salutes all the way. He was extremely happy and secretly laughed at himself. He really looked like a rural landowner getting married in the TV series.

The two families were not far apart, and they soon arrived at Xu's house. The gate to the courtyard was closed tightly. The marriage officer came forward to call the door, and then started asking for red envelopes inside.

The marriage official stuffed the red envelope that he had prepared for him, and then the door was opened. This was only the first courtyard door, followed by the Moon Gate and the main door of the Xu family.

Next, the wedding wife came on stage and handed the red velvet flowers and red flowers from all directions to the bride's bride-to-be wife.

The Xu family invited two female relatives and friends. The four people entered the inner room. The four people held the four corners of the red hijab. Now Xu Huizhen passed it in front of her, saying: "Four seasons of peace, a hundred years of good harmony, and a long life." Good luck to you, old man."

Then put the red velvet flower on Xu Huizhen, and then put the red velvet hijab on her head. In this way, the task of marrying the wife is completed. Before the sedan chair arrived, a member of the Xu family had already separated a strand of hair from Xu Huizhen's head and tied it into a bun, which symbolized the knot as a married couple.

At this time, the preparations for the wedding had been completed. Xu Hui spread a red carpet on the ground to prevent Xu Hui's feet from touching the ground. There were two women on the left and right helping her get into the sedan.

He Yuzhu is like a gorilla in a zoo, being nodded and commented by everyone. He is the center of attention no matter where he stands.

After a set of procedures, He Yuzhu was already sweating profusely. Fortunately, Xu Huizhen was finally helped onto the sedan chair.

After getting up from the sedan chair, Xu Hui and his cousin walked on both sides of the sedan chair. At the same time, they also invited the bride-to-be's wife and official guests to accompany the bride-to-be in the sedan chair, and the sedan chair was sent to He Yuzhu's home.

At this time, the door was also closed. At this time, an uncle of Xu Huizhen's family, as a bride-to-be, also came to call the door, said some good words, and after repeated requests, the door was finally opened.

The sedan chair was carried into the courtyard from the front gate, passed the brazier first, and then carried the sedan chair to the entrance of the hall.

At this time, the deacons perform their duties and prepare the bride to get off the sedan chair.

At this time, He Yuzhu made three bows to the sedan door. His wife opened the sedan door, and Xu Huizhen's sister-in-law helped the bride down.

Then the sister-in-law handed over a small porcelain vase containing grains and yellow and white rings, which she called a treasure vase.

Xu Huizhen held the treasure bottle in her arms and walked slowly with the support of her sister-in-law and the wife who was attending the wedding.

In addition, two people spread red carpet one after another to prevent Xu Huizhen's feet from touching the ground.

He Yuzhu stood in front of the Divine Table of Heaven and Earth, holding a bow and arrow, and shot three arrows at Xu Huizhen, symbolizing exorcism of evil spirits.

When archery, you take one step back after shooting an arrow, and then Xu Huizhen crosses the pommel horse and walks over the brazier. After passing these joints, Xu Huizhen comes to the confessional, and now she finally comes to the step of worshiping heaven and earth.

After crossing the world, someone led Xu Huizhen into the bridal chamber.

Two people from Quanfu had been invited to make the new bed in advance. Xu Suizhen entered and sat cross-legged in the tent, commonly known as sitting on the tent or sitting on the bed.

"Take off the red hijab!"

"Zhuzi, quickly lift off the red hijab and let us see if the bride is beautiful." Someone shouted.

"Yes, open it quickly."

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "I'm not in a hurry, why are you so anxious?"

As he spoke, He Yuzhu slowly raised his red hijab with the scale, revealing a handsome and shy face.

"The bride is so beautiful."

"Kiss me!"

He Yuzhu turned around and saw that it was his distant cousin who was making noise.

He smiled and said, "If you keep making noises, I'll find someone to tell you about an ugly wife tomorrow."

"Bad pillar, stop scaring me."

A few people made noises, but He Yuzhu would not kiss Xu Huizhen in front of them. After a while, he started to move on to the next item.

After "sitting in the tent", the next program is to eat the cakes of the descendants.

This is an old tradition in the capital. The cakes for children and grandchildren are brought from the bride's family by the wives who send them off. Each wife takes a bowl and gives them to the newlyweds respectively for exchange.

I ate descendants’ cakes and longevity noodles.

The longevity noodles are something that the He family has prepared for a long time, which means that their descendants will live forever.

The two of them each took a symbolic bite and then drank from a glass of wine. A red string rope was used to tie a wine glass at both ends.

The bride gives it to the groom, and the wife gives it to the bride. Each drinks half a cup, and then exchanges it again. After drinking the cup of wine, all the joints in the bridal chamber are completed.

A table of banquets is placed in the room just outside the bridal chamber, which is called "reunion dinner" or "reunion dinner" as the saying goes.

The bridegroom and bride sit on the table, and the wedding wife, the bride-to-be wife, and the bridesmaids and other close female guests all sit with them.

The tables outside were also opened at the same time.

He Yuzhu only took two bites of food before getting up to propose a toast.

In the past two or three years, the name of He Yuzhu's Braised Pork He has become more and more famous. The braised pork has been sent to many restaurants and restaurants, and he has made many friends.

It can be said that these restaurants have all begged He Yuzhu. Today is He Yuzhu's big day, so they all want to give him face. Most of them come to congratulate him in person. Even if they can't come, they will send their shopkeepers or managers to congratulate him.

Yi Zhonghai watched He Yuzhu toasting those bosses, and was extremely shocked. When did this silly Zhu have so many connections?

These are all well-known figures in society, and all of them are brothers with He Yuzhu, talking with each other and saying blessings.

"This silly column has become the big boss!"

Liu Haizhong nodded: "Yeah, I didn't expect Zhu Zhu to know so many bosses."

Yan Bugui just saw that those people were dressed in high-end and gorgeous clothes, but he didn't know a few of them, so he asked: "Who are those?"

Yi Zhonghai pointed and said: "Those are the people from the Eighth Hall and the Eighth Building. There are also a few bosses from the Eighth Bureau, as well as Director Li from our street, the director of the police station, and the director of Qianmen Street."

Yan Bugui was shocked. They were all big shots.

Liu Haizhong's eyes had turned red with jealousy. Although he had good skills, he had not even become a team leader and was still an ordinary worker.

On the contrary, looking at Silly Zhu, he has been in society for less than two years and although he is still an ordinary citizen, he has already had his own career and entered the yard independently.

I also got to know many big bosses, as well as street directors and police comrades from the police station.

Also a little confused is the deaf old lady. Although she feels that she is a figure in the courtyard, but outside the courtyard, who knows her as an old woman?

The deaf old lady suddenly felt that the food in her mouth no longer tasted good. She had instigated Yi Zhonghai to do what happened between He Daqing and Widow Bai.

Although He Daqing has not pursued this matter since he came back, the more this happened, the more the deaf old lady became worried and uneasy.

He is always guessing whether He Daqing will take revenge soon and bad luck will befall him.

Jia Zhang has been waiting for this day. How can ordinary people hold weddings with rich dishes?

The table was full of meat. Mrs. Zhang had been eating it since she sat down to meditate. She ate whatever was expensive. She also whispered to Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu next to her:

"Hurry up and eat. We have to get back the 5 cent gift money. If you don't eat, you won't eat for free. If you eat, you won't eat for free."
