The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

The day before the wedding day, a group of women from the Zheng family ran to the new house. According to the custom, the new house was tidied up, and some people stayed behind to guard it. Outsiders were not allowed to enter before the newcomer came in.

Zheng Ping slept with Shuang Yi at home for one night, and finally gave her some education.

At this step, Yun Yanhui can't intervene, although he has always felt that it is necessary to explain some basic physiological knowledge to the girl, but he is limited to the environment, men and women are different, there is really no way.

Even if he told it without telling people, he still couldn't explain how he did this, and maybe he was thought to have other intentions.

Only Zheng Ping, a female elder, taught her step by step according to the usual practice, and only came to explain the housework with her the night before Shuang Yi was going to get married.

Fortunately, Shen Kuo is quite knowledgeable and often reads medical books, so he should know some knowledge, so he will not be injured, so let them figure it out by themselves.

On the second day, when the auspicious time had arrived, the Shen family's welcoming team came and hired people to promote it all the way, which was very lively.

Before crossing, Yun Yanhui saw on TV that the brides in the welcoming team were all sedan chairs, but at this time, they were floats, pulled by two tall horses. After all, it was not in line with the concept at this time to use human power to lift the sedan chair.

The welcoming team stopped at the gate of Zheng's house, playing music to urge the bride.

Yun Yan took a big bag back, and personally brought a few young boys from the Zheng family out, grabbing the things in the bag and throwing them out.

The band attracted a lot of spectators along the way. Seeing them beaming with joy, they rushed over to pick them up, and said auspicious words in their mouths, wishing the newlyweds who got married today to grow old together.

Looking carefully, there are not only copper coins in the pocket, but also grains of things mixed in. When you peel it off, it turns out to be sugar balls exuding the smell of milk. This joy is so special.I heard that the groom is from Qiantang, is this not the custom of Qiantang?

The children were all happy after eating the candy balls.They can occasionally eat a little white sugar, but the taste is incomparable to this sugar. The sweetness is more delicate, not to mention the thick milky aroma permeating the mouth, which is extraordinarily sweet.

For a while, this wedding candy was more sought-after than wedding money. Many people picked it up and put it in their pockets, and took the equipment back to give their relatives and friends a taste.

When the auspicious time comes, the bride leaves the cabinet and boards the float.

Those who were fascinated by the wedding candy were still chanting their congratulations around the float.When Yunyan went back to make friends with Zheng Jiaerlang, she divided the wedding candy and wedding money in her pocket and distributed them around.

Fortunately, Yunyan prepared a lot back, so she simply scattered all the way to open the way.

The children followed behind to pick up happy candies, and the adults watched more.

The copper coins and sugar that the Zheng family sprinkled along the way are worth a lot. Looking at the bride's heavy dowry, which stretches out half a street long, this daughter is really willing to marry her!

An insider said: "What is this? You can see all of this. She even married with [-] yuan and several shops in the best locations!"

"Tsk tsk, [-] guan! What a good girl!"

"Hehe! You can see the money. Did you see that a few loads were made up by the lady in the palace! The lady of the Zheng family and her husband were matchmakers and married by the officials themselves! "

"Then no wonder there is such a pomp..."

On the other side, people from the Shen family were comforting the nervous Shen Kuo.

"Today is a day of great joy, you must be calm in your life."

"Marry a wife, and you can't make your colleagues and bosses see a joke."

"I'd be nervous too... The guests who came today are too wealthy."

Their Shen family is in Beijing, that is, some of Shen's father's old friends, and Shen Kuo made friends, not too many.But the Zheng family has a solid foundation in Bianjing, and with the addition of Yunyan's relatives and friends, there will be more people coming, so it is said that it has been streamlined.

The members of the Shen family unanimously admitted that this was a good marriage, and the marriage of this daughter-in-law would definitely be of great benefit to Shen Kuo's future.

Not to mention that in the marriage negotiation process, when the posts were exchanged, the woman had already stated the dowry items, and the money was very large. Not to mention anything else, not any family would be willing to give out [-] guan.

This price, for the Zheng family at this level, is a lot of money.What's more, I heard that most of them were prepared by Zheng Shuangyi's brother and mother, and they lived alone outside.

Shen Kuo shook his head at that time, and said with a light smile, "The most valuable thing is not the [-] yuan, but those few shops."

"Yes, the location of the shop is excellent, every inch of land is expensive."

"No, no, no... My brother-in-law will definitely come up with ideas to run these few shops in the future. That's the real dowry."

The Shen family thought that Shen Kuo had not been in Beijing for long and had made a lot of money, as well as his mother's famous Yusunhong, so they believed in this statement.

……

On this side, Yun Yan stepped back on the car and said to the inside: "Shuangyi, are you hungry?"

"Fortunately, I can hold on." Shuangyi said.Early this morning, she was dragged up to dress up, and she only ate a little food. Afterwards, in order to complete her makeup and have no urgent needs on the way, she didn't dare to eat any more.

Sure enough, whether it is ancient or modern, wedding is a very tormenting thing.

"That's good," Yun Yan replied, seeing the curtain of Zheng Ping's carriage being raised in the car driving to see her off, "Auntie is also worried about you, I'll go and tell her."

So all the way to the new house, gathered a lot of people, Yunyan returned here to distribute the wedding candy and wedding money, and dismissed the people who blocked the door.

Zheng Ping and Fu Yunfeng got out of the car, went back with Yun Yan, and helped Shuang Yi, who was dressed up, get out of the car. According to the custom at this time, they practiced all kinds of auspicious movements, and they didn't keep their feet on the ground all the way until the new house. , sitting on the bed.

The new house was full of guests, and the female guests hugged Shuang Yi to go through the procedures. Yun Yan returned to the man and didn't go in. He went to the banquet and fed Shen Kuo until Shen Kuo yelled that he would salute later. just stopped.

Shen Kuo's face was flushed, and he took the red silk to the new house, and Shuangyi also had a piece of red silk in his hand. Tie the two pieces of red silk into a concentric knot, and Shen Kuo could use this to lead Shuangyi out.

Shen Kuo's aunt used a scale to lift Shuangyi's hijab away, and only then did Shuangyi show up. When the relatives and friends saw the bride, they all praised the bride for her good looks.

Some people were joking with Yun Yanhui. They knew that his sister was so beautiful, and the officials were going to propose marriage before they made a match. Shen Kuo really took advantage of it.

Yun Yan groaned back and said, you think my sister will marry anyone?Our family is demanding!

Originally, marriage should be performed in the family temple, but the two of them are in Beijing, so they can only make up when they go back to worship their ancestors in the future, and the sacrifice can be done here.

After paying homage to their ancestors and parents, the two will go back to their new house to worship each other, drink a cup of wine, and get married.

After such a set of kung fu, even though Shuangyi has a profound skill, she couldn't help panting, sitting on the new bed, "Is it over?"

"Hey, don't say that." Shen Kuo was anxious, "It's unlucky, what do you mean it's over?"

Shuangyi covered her mouth, a little embarrassing.

Shen Kuo gave Shuangyi something to eat, "You must be hungry, eat more, you just had wine on an empty stomach."

Shuangyi unceremoniously took it and ate it, but while she was eating, she found that Shen Kuo was still standing aside and looking at her kindly, "Look what I'm doing..."

"It's nothing, I just wanted to marry you back at last." Shen Kuo smiled slightly.

At this time, someone outside urged me to go out to thank the gift after the salute.

Shen Kuo pressed the door to prevent anyone from coming in, "Don't worry, you finish this." Then he raised his voice, "I know, wait for me to change my underwear, I'm sweaty."

After some delay, at least Shuangyi had enough to eat, and then they went out hand in hand, and went to the hall to accept the congratulations from relatives and friends, thank them one by one, and recognize relatives and friends of both parties.

Yun Yanhui had originally given Shen Kuo a few cups, but now, seeing Shen Kuo being force-fed by other relatives and friends, he was not happy anymore—in fact, it was Shuangyi who gave him a wink.

What a joke, his brother-in-law is going to have a bridal chamber tonight, what if he gets drunk like a dead pig?

Yunyan turned back to grab her sleeves, it's time for them to experience the power of the legendary Bianjing Jiuxian!

Zhao Yunchu, as a close friend of the Yun family, of course came to participate, but he didn't sit in the close relatives table, but fortunately, it was not far away, and he was seated next to him. , just don’t love yourself like this, drink less.”

Yunyan smacked back and felt that it was different from when she was single, but she still said very proudly: "I know, you should worry about them."

Yun Yan rushed back to block the wine for Shen Kuo.

"Hey, Shen Cunzhong is not only a good wife, but also a good brother-in-law, and he also helps you keep the wine out."

"This brother-in-law deserves it!"

Even Yunyan's relatives and friends on the other side came up one after another when they saw this, "Not only does my brother-in-law want it, but we also want it. Don't bully the groom so he can't drink it!"

There were people from Zheng's family, and there were also friends from Yun Yanhui, and all of a sudden they became a group drinking together.

So many people started to fight, but no one expected to pour Shen Kuo's wine. Shen Kuo was relieved and gave Yun Yan a grateful look.

"Hey—how many people are there? We Qiantang people are the least afraid of competing with wine."

"That's right, since everyone wants to drink, why not follow our Qiantang rules!"

"Qiantang rules? You are in Bianjing now, you should follow our Bianjing rules."

At this time, the role of Yun Yanhui was displayed again. While pushing the couple to the elders, he said, "Then make a compromise, and each will get half. In their Qiantang, one person has always toasted everyone. , take turns. We in Bianjing are mostly heads-up heroes. How about this, let’s come round first, and after a round, those who have not yet fallen will automatically be qualified for heads-up, and you can choose to fight wine at will Object."

Yun Yan replied that this proposal was approved by most people, so he started to drink.Because there are too many people today, many people will die within one lap.

Yun Yan looked back with clear eyes, "Whose turn is it next?"

He was standing, and Zhao Yunchu was sitting beside him, feeding him a few mouthfuls of vegetables from time to time, so as not to burn his stomach with alcohol.

After such a lap, there is really not much left.

"Haha, those of us can single out. Come on, who wants to pick me?"

A Shen family relative covered his mouth and sat down in pain, pretending not to hear.He doesn't want to compare with this uncle in-law, he is simply inhuman, he was the one who relaxed the most after drinking that round just now.

When toasting, if the person who is toasting has done it, everyone has to do it too. If you only have one sip, then everyone can do whatever they want.

In the beginning, some people were able to do it with great pride, but later, they all took one bite at a time.Only Yunyan returned, he would do it if others did it, and he would do it too if others took a sip!

I went to the toilet twice on the way, and other than that, I had nothing to do, and I was very excited to eat—but don’t mention, today’s noodles are really delicious, not only Bianjing’s special dishes, but also Take care of the food of their Qiantang people.

Tell me, is this still a human being?

Seeing that no one dared to challenge her, Yun Yan sat down, "This is...the heights are too cold."

Over there, Shen Kuo couldn't help being afraid when he saw the rows of colleagues, relatives and friends who had fallen down.There are too many people here today, if he serves by himself, even if he uses tea instead of wine, it will be useless.

"It's getting late..." Yun Yanhui still remembered this incident, "We will send the storage back to the new house."

The people of the Shen family were dumbfounded when they saw the scene just now, most of their sons and daughters were "killed in battle", the Shen family's parents and female family members nodded, followed quickly and sent the newcomers back to their rooms.

With so many people, everyone felt embarrassed to say anything. Anyway, everything that should be said was said before the wedding. Standing at the door of the new house, they only hinted at the two new couples with their eyes.

Shen Kuo and Shuang Yi both blushed and closed the door shyly.

Yunyan stood back for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief, helped Zhao Yunchu to turn around, "The next time I see them, it's time for Shuangyi to go back..."

Even if it will be three days later, when the time comes to host a banquet for the son-in-law at the woman's house, it will also be arranged at the Zheng family.

Zheng Ping blamed: "You are too aggressive today, you got all the guests drunk."

"It's only more than half drunk," Yun Yan replied innocently, "Besides, this is wedding wine, being drunk means that people are happy."

Zheng Ping was speechless, and said to Shen's parents: "I told my in-laws to watch a joke."

Shen's father and Shen's mother laughed and said: "This is also a rescue for Cunzhong. I didn't expect so many distinguished guests to come today, many of them had to have a drink with him. If it wasn't for Brother Yan, Cunzhong would have been drunk by now."

On the bridal chamber day, the groom was so drunk that he passed out, that would be a joke.

Speaking of it, it is also because the two parents are well educated and reasonable, and are extremely satisfied with each other, so no matter what happens, they can think of the good and be considerate of each other.

There is also a more intimate thing, Zhao Yunchu offered to help accommodate the guests.

Quite a few of these guests came for Yun Yanhui's face, and they were so drunk that some people's families would inevitably be dissatisfied, and the Shen family was not familiar with these people's families.

Yun Yan returned to drink a lot, not drunk, but it is a bit inhumane to ask him to do things again.But Zhao Yunchu's willingness to come forward has the same effect.

——Anyway, everyone now knows that his relationship with Yun Yanhui is as good as one. Although Yun Yanhui married his younger sister, no one would think that he was overstepping when he came to take care of it.

Zheng Ping even said to the Shen family, "I can chat with Brother Chu's mother, and he has been friends with Brother Yan for many years, just like my half son."

Zhao Yunchu obediently stood aside with a smile on his face.

Yun Yan returned to the side and lazily said: "Returning half a son, you should only marry a daughter-in-law."

When Zhao Yunchu heard him making fun of him in public, his cheeks flushed.

Zheng Ping also smiled and thumped Yun Yan and smiled back, "Really, you know Brother Chu is thin-skinned, and he's embarrassed to make trouble."

Yunyan thought back, sorry?Didn't you see that he was so beautiful that he was about to bubble up?
