Qinghe Pastoral

All the way to Ji's house, people from Ji's house gathered around the door. They obviously didn't know what was going on along the way, and they were all smiling.

Naturally, the two of them are somewhat incompatible, but they are not people who believe in evil, and the matter has already happened, so it can only be regarded as an episode.

In the huge Ji Zhai, red silk is hung everywhere, decorated with lanterns and festoons, which is very festive.

Ji Ruixiu hugged Lin Muli and got off the horse, and then he didn't let him go, but carried him all the way into the courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard, there was a charcoal brazier. Ji Ruixiu put Lin Mu down, then took his hand, and the two stepped over together.

According to the customs of the Dayu Dynasty, there are three worships for marriage, one for the emperor, the second for the elders in the high hall, and the third for those who are married.

In front of the stone steps of the main hall of Ji's house, drinks were prepared, the two of them kneeled down solemnly, followed the singer's obeisance, they kowtowed three times, and then picked up the wine glasses on the table, in order to sacrifice to the emperor.

Once the ceremony is completed, it is time to pay homage to the elders in the high hall. However, the Ji family's parents have passed away for many years, so the two went to the Ji family's ancestral hall to worship and burn incense for the two elders.

It is also important to pay attention to the elders. They are the closest elders in the clan after removing their parents. Logically speaking, they should be Ji Ruixiu's uncle, but they have passed away for many years, so the seat of the elders naturally goes to Ji Ruixiu's cousin and sister-in-law. .

The two sat on the elders' seat, one on the left and the other on the right, accepting the offer of tea and bowing down, with smiles on their faces.After receiving the tea from the two of them and speaking some teaching words, he took out two big red purses embroidered with lovesick birds from his bosom, which was the elder's return gift and blessing.

Afterwards, the two bowed to each other, their hearts were not at peace at the moment, after the ceremony, the two became a legitimate husband and wife, living together and dying under the same acupoint, they are the most intimate people in the world.

For some reason, Lin Mu looked into Ji Ruixiu's deep and equally affectionate eyes, and recalled every bit of the two of them along the way. After the salutation, his eyes were a little sore, but they were excited, happy, happy.

Ji Ruixiu couldn't help himself, lowered his head slightly, grabbed Lin Mu's mouth, and kissed Lin Mu hotly in front of everyone.

The older ones obviously rarely saw such a scene, and felt that being present was disrespectful to their elders, so they all withdrew one after another, only those who were still young still cheered.

After a kiss, Lin Mu behaved gracefully even though he was a little embarrassed, and went to the yard surrounded by a group of people.

If Lin Mu was a woman, she would have waited for the bridegroom in the room after the worship, but both of them are men, so naturally they went to entertain guests from all walks of life together.

Generally speaking, in a village, if the journey is short enough to welcome and send off relatives, because of the short time interval, they will only serve a table of delicate snacks and fruits, and will not attend the formal table, which will only make the evening banquet more grand. some.

Although the pastries and melons and fruits are said to be delicious, they are all thoughtful and unique. There are about twenty plates in total, and the whole table is full.

Exquisite snacks and rare fruits and vegetables are more rare than dishes, and those who live in poverty will not have such thoughts to eat these things.Those who are slightly better will buy ordinary pastries, and those rare and expensive ones in the store will naturally take a detour, and today is considered a mouthful.

Ji's family has prepared enough wine, and the courtyard is huge. Sitting in twos and threes, drinking and blowing nonsense, it is pleasant.

The daily dinner in the village is basically at three o'clock in the unitary hour, but the banquet is held an hour earlier on festivals, and it is served at the time of the unitary time.

The noodles of the two families were drawn up together, and the style of the dishes was the same, but different people made them, and the taste would be somewhat different, but they were all rare and good noodles.

During the dinner, the newcomers have to toast table by table. After this pass, they have to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, otherwise it will be difficult to resist. Naturally, the assistant minister who came to welcome the bride can help the two of them hold back the wine, otherwise, no one will be able to hold on. go down.

Zhou Dashan followed behind them with a jug, the table was finished and the table was respected, the country man was bold, today was the wedding of the two, without the usual awe, everyone was unambiguous.

After one round, Lin Mu's face turned red. Fortunately, what he drank was the fruit wine specially brewed for him. It tasted sweet and not easy to get drunk. Lin Mu spurned himself in his heart.

"Is it alright?"

Ji Ruixiu knew Lin Mu's drinking capacity, and seeing his slightly flushed cheeks, he felt a little worried.

"If Mu'er can't do it, I'll cover you in the back. If you're drunk, wouldn't it ruin the wedding ceremony for the two of you?"

Xiao Jue's tone was teasing, but he meant it sincerely. Lin Mu thought about getting rid of those elder guests who couldn't stop him, and let the two do the rest. As for Ji Ruixiu, he could drink very well, so he didn't need them to worry about it.

The table on the east side is for distinguished guests from Jing'an County. Officials, wealthy businessmen, and some famous scholars are all arranged at this table.

"Today's big wedding, thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to come here. We are very grateful. This cup, let's do it first as a respect."

Seeing Ji Ruixiu drank all the wine in the glass, everyone at the table cheered, a little less restrained than before, and a little more free and easy.

The county magistrate is not only the highest official, but also born in a family, he is the most valuable person at this table, so he is naturally the first to stand up to congratulate.

With the beginning, one after another, although the wine glass is small, even if it can be drunk in one gulp, it is not easy for a table of ten people.

To toast, one table with one glass is fine, but the guests at this table are quite special. After all, it is a bit biased and unjustifiable after all, but after a dozen glasses of wine, Lin Mu will probably be really drunk .

After only drinking three cups, Ji Ruixiu clasped his fists at the people on the table, and said again: "Young Master Wei, I'm really sorry, Mu'er is a light drinker, so I drank this cup for him, and the rest too, Please forgive me."

Mr. Wei waved his hands, his face was the same and he even smiled ambiguously, staring at Lin Mu a little bit embarrassed.

"Where's the word, young master Mu can't hold alcohol, we really shouldn't drink, otherwise if we pass out from drunk, wouldn't we feel sorry for Young Master Ji?"

A few jokes caused a burst of laughter on the table, young people love to joke, and the older ones at this table are not old-fashioned, so they naturally echoed.

"Of course, thank you for your understanding."

Naturally, Lin Mu didn't respond, he followed Ji Ruixiu obediently, watching him drink about twenty cups in a row, even though he only had about twenty sips, Lin Mu was startled, but looking at Ji Ruixiu, he didn't care about anything at all. No.

Ji's house set up twelve tables, one table for 12 people, and actually entertained five waves. The table was not finished from sunset to dusk.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the guests from the county couldn't stay longer, and it took a while to see them off, and when they finally sat down to eat the noodles, the night had completely darkened.

But today, there are lanterns hanging everywhere in Ji's house, and it is bright. After eating, the tables near the door were removed. Several servants of Ji's house brought a very high torch and lit it. The fire suddenly made the whole yard as bright as day.

He has been entertaining guests all afternoon, and there is no time for a break. Lin Mu is hungry and tired now. Let Ji Ruixiu bring him some food. When he feels full, he feels full of energy.

Their table was the last one. After the table was collected, the servants of Ji's family removed all the tables and chairs and cleaned them up. The whole courtyard suddenly became wider, and the torches burned more and more vigorously, covering the whole Ji's family and The smiles on people's faces were clearly reflected.

It's almost autumn, and the coolness of the night is blocked by the fire, leaving only enthusiasm.

A quarter of an hour later, the villagers formed a circle in the center of the torch, and danced to the ancient famous ballads sung by the old people in the village. The whole Ji's house was filled with the sound of singing and dancing, and it was very lively.

According to the custom, the two newcomers also have to dance together, which is a rare experience for both Ji Ruixiu and Lin Mu.

Ji Ruixiu firmly held Lin Mu's hand, reflecting the red fire light, Lin Mu's bright smiling face was like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, pure and beautiful.

Ji Ruixiu's heart was full, it was this person in front of him, who made him understand love, feel the most beautiful relationship in this world that belongs to two people alone, and after all, like a person, this life is worthwhile.

Haishi is the time for making bridal chambers, but before that, you need to find two children who are not yet three years old to make a bed.

Children are the most pure and flawless people, and having children press the bed is also a blessing for the couple's marriage to be like children, always pure, and the two of them will join hands and be sincere forever.

It would be best if these two children were close relatives, and they happened to have such two, one was Lin Chen and the other was Lin Ziang.

Counting the time, Xu Xiuqin came carrying Lin Chen who was dressed in red. Lin Yuying and the others were already in the Ji residence, so when the time came, the two children were put on the couch.

The singer said some more auspicious words, Ji Ruixiu sent out the sealed red envelope, and the ceremony was truly complete.

The bridal chamber is also an indispensable part of the wedding banquet. Starting with Xiao Jue, Wei Qian and Lin Zian, those who are not yet married in the village are still carrying some, but those who are not long ago are particularly energetic, and they seem to want them to have a taste. Taste what it's like to be troubled like this.

In this way, the commotion lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon, and the people gradually dispersed, and the Ji family gradually quieted down. Wei Qian showed great mercy, and after nearly an hour of commotion, he led the people to disperse.

Seeing that the room was quiet, Lin Mu felt a little cramped for some reason. The two of them got along like this almost every day, but after this ceremony, they always felt that something was different.

Ji Ruixiu pulled Lin Mu to the table and sat down, poured two glasses of wine, and handed one of them to Lin Mu.Lin Mu took it naturally, and heard Ji Ruixiu say: "Drink this cup, from now on, the world will never be separated."

Lin Mu's heart moved, sour and happy, so he nodded heavily. No matter how strong the wine is, he can drink it up in one gulp. It is an expectation and an oath, and he will live forever and never betray him.

Putting down the wine glass, Ji Ruixiu stepped forward, hugged Lin Mu, and said with a smile: "The beautiful scenery on a good day and the wedding candles, you can't let it down."

Lin Mu buried his head in Ji Ruixiu's broad chest, listening to his solid and powerful heartbeat, a blush flew across his face.Although the two fell asleep together, they had not yet performed the ceremony of the Duke of Zhou. Thinking of what was about to happen, they were nervous and looking forward to it.

It was only about ten steps from the table to the couch. Ji Ruixiu took off Lin Mu's shoes, socks and outer clothes, leaving only his inner clothes. The beauty of spring is blocked in it.
