Huaxi Chronicle

July 21.

The Xun family in the west of the city.

Boom, boom, boom.

Xun Feibai and Lin Zhu had just had lunch when someone knocked on the door of their house.Standing up to open the door, there were four or five people standing outside the door, all of them were her classmates and friends.

When Xun Feibai saw the crowd, he hurriedly opened the gate of the courtyard and led them in: "Why are you here today?"

Cui Jiaze smiled and said, "Your wedding is on the first day of next month, so you should be busy with a lot of things. We came here today to see if there is anything we can do to help."

Xun Feibai looked at the group of classmates who were eager to try, and said with a smile: "It's just a coincidence that you came here. I really have some work on my hands and need some manpower. I am going to ask you for help."

Since Xun Feibai is married, the main things are handled by the Yan family, but there are still some things that need her to do.

When someone gets married in Huaxi County, they must prepare a sugar bag and muffin, and give them to relatives, friends and neighbors who often come and go.This sugar bag is not a pastry like steamed buns, but peanuts, jelly beans, lotus seeds, red dates and longan, these five kinds of food are packed into paper bags, and then the words "Happy" are pasted on the paper bags, and then wrapped with red ribbons Wrapped, it is a sugar bag.

Sponge cake is a pastry steamed with glutinous rice flour and brown sugar, topped with red dates, soft and sweet in taste.These two things are usually prepared by both parties to the marriage and given to their relatives and friends separately.

Yesterday Xun Feibai and Lin Zhu bought the peanuts, pastries and other snacks they needed, and now they need to divide them into small portions, pack them separately, and send them to relatives and friends one by one.She made a rough calculation, the relatives in the family, the friends in the academy and the neighbors who often come and go, add up to a hundred or so parts, and each part has to be weighed and subcontracted, which is really a lot. manpower.

When everyone entered the room and saw boxes of peanuts and red dates, they knew what to do and assigned their own tasks.Some people cut paper, some cut red silk, some called peanuts, and some made origami bags.

Zhao Shiyi, who was the last to enter the door, was known as Tangdou. Before he could sit down, he was grabbed by Xun Feibai and walked towards the long table in the hall: "Your handwriting is beautiful, write invitations with me."

Zhao Shiyi originally wanted to find some easy work, but was pulled by Lin Feibai to write the invitation. He looked at Tangdou with some reluctance.Knowing that he was lazy, Xun Fei hurriedly handed him the invitation card on the case, turned around and found that there was still a pen missing, happened to see Lin Zhu walking towards the house, and called out to her: "Little Zhuzi, go to the house." I will give Shiyi a brush."

Lin Zhu entered the room and took out the brush in response, and handed it to Zhao Shiyi who was beside Xun Feibai with a light smile.

Zhao Shiyi wanted to take advantage of the moment when she was holding the pen and ink, but he didn't know that the little girl was so nimble, not only holding the pen, but also helping him to dip the ink.

Zhao Shiyi thanked him, and saw a light color on the little girl's face, she was very pretty.After only one glance, Zhao Shiyi's mind returned to his seat, and he felt a little rude in his heart, so he didn't look at it too much, and hurriedly lowered his head and copied the invitation.

Lin Zhu didn't notice anything strange about him, but felt that this man was in a daze, half asleep and half awake during the day, but this kind of dull look was very interesting.Seeing that someone took the pen away, she didn't stay any longer, so she went out to do other things.

Everyone has been busy all afternoon, and the sugar packets and invitations have been prepared in sevens and eighties, and they are finishing the work.Xun Feibai put down the brush in her hand, she raised her hand and stretched her waist, glanced lightly out of the corner of her eye, and saw Yan Cong'an standing at the door, looking at her with a faint smile.

Xun Fei rolled his eyebrows, hurriedly got up from the desk, walked to her side, and asked with a smile: "Why are you here today, but you need me for something?"

Yan Cong'an helped her straighten the broken hair on her sideburns, and said with a light smile: "The wedding dress is ready, I'll give it to you to try on and see if it fits well, if there is something that doesn't fit, I can ask someone to change it." change."

Xun Feibai nodded, Yan Cong'an had mentioned this matter to her a few days ago, but the family was a little flustered right now: "How about I try again later?"

Yan Cong'an also saw the scene in the house. Everyone lowered their heads and were busy with their work, but no one noticed her coming: "I wanted to find some people to help you, but I don't think there is any need for it now." She looked again Looking at the scene in the house, he suggested: "Let's go to Baiwei Restaurant for dinner together later, and thank them well."

Xun Feibai thought for a while, and it was indeed the truth, so he nodded in response.

After everyone cleaned up, they all greeted Yan Cong'an when they saw her, and when they heard that they were going to have dinner at Baiwei Restaurant, they all responded with a smile and were not polite.

A group of people went to Baiwei Restaurant for dinner, said their goodbyes and went home, and waited ten days before going to Xun Feibai's wedding banquet.

After the meal, Hao Huiwan secretly pulled Xun Feibai to one side while everyone was not paying attention, took out a booklet from his sleeve, handed it to Xun Feibai and said, "Take this book home and read it carefully. A classmate can only help you." When you come here, don't let the third lady dislike you for not being 'considerate'." After speaking, she gave her a meaningful look before turning and leaving.

Xun Feibai was bewildered by this look, he opened the booklet in his hand, his face flushed immediately, he hurriedly closed the booklet, and put it in his arms frantically.After putting away the booklet and taking two steps forward, I still felt that something was wrong, and then I reached out and stuffed the booklet into the inside of my clothes, only to feel safe.

She put away the booklet, and when she raised her head, she saw Yan Cong'an was looking at her. Ann goes.

When Hao Huiwan pulled Xun Feibai to one side, Yan Cong'an saw it.The scene after Hao Jiahui left was also noticed by her.It didn't take much thinking to know what the pamphlet was.But when Xun Feibai approached, she didn't mention this matter, and went back to Xun's house hand in hand with her.

The two entered the main house, Yan Cong Anxiu turned his eyes, and said with a light smile: "Now I just have time, Fei Bai quickly try the wedding dress."

Just as Xun Feibai was about to take off his outer shirt, his complexion changed suddenly, he turned to Yan Cong'an and said, "Cong Anke go outside and wait for me for a while, I'll change my clothes and go out for you to see."

"Fei Bai can try taking off his outer shirt first, I want to see if this outer shirt fits first?" Yan Cong'an pretended to be puzzled.

Hearing Yan Cong'an said to try the outer shirt first, Xun Fei showed a trace of panic on his white face, and hurriedly said: "Cong'an will stay in the outer room for a while, and I will try the inner shirt together."

Seeing her flustered appearance, Yan Cong'an guessed for sure. She walked into Xun Feibai, stood on tiptoe, pressed against Xun Feibai's ear, and said with a soft smile, "Just changing clothes, Fei Bai is so shy. I don't know if Fei Bai is still so shy on the wedding day, what should I do?"

After finishing speaking, she frowned slightly, gave Xun Fei a charming white look, and turned around to leave the main house.

When mentioning the candles in the bridal chamber, Xun Feibai thought of the brochure in his arms again, and his face turned red instantly, but Yan Cong'an's glance before leaving the door always felt a little meaningful to her.

But when she saw Yan Cong'an went out, she didn't have time to think, and hurriedly took out the book in her arms.Looking around, I had no choice but to hide the booklet under the quilt first.

After hiding the booklet, she repeatedly pulled the quilt a few times, and pressed the pillow on the side, and after confirming that no one would see the clues, she turned around and changed into her wedding clothes.

The first of August.

The sky is bright and clear, suitable for marriage.

The sound of gongs and drums, the sound of firecrackers, and the sound of suona.

A pair of red lanterns cleared the way. Xun Feibai was wearing a wedding dress and riding a tall horse, followed by a long procession of red makeup.

Nuanxiang Pavilion.

In front of the mahogany carved dressing table, a round bronze mirror reflected an exquisite face. The person in the mirror had a pink face with peach blossoms, moth eyebrows and a curvy head, bright eyes and white teeth.The hair is full of red hairpins, the red wedding dress on the body is trimmed with gold thread, and the embroidery is exquisite.

Yuzhu inserted the last pearl hairpin for her, and she heard Yan Congle shouting happily as she ran, "The team for welcoming the bride has arrived." After entering the room, she hurriedly directed the treasure box and said, "Hurry up, treasure box!" Close the door."

Hearing this, Yuzhu supported Yan Cong'an to sit in front of the bed.Yan Cong'an slightly raised the fan with flower feathers in his hand, covering half of his face.

Crackling, firecrackers sounded.

Before the door of the treasure box was closed, Xun Feibai and his party had already walked to the door.Seeing this, Yan Congle hurriedly led all the female relatives in the house to the door and stopped them.They didn't speak a word, just looked at the group of people opposite with a smile.

Seeing this, Cui Jiaze took the lead and shouted to the door: "The new wife, come out quickly." Before he finished speaking, all the people behind him shouted in unison: "The new wife, come out quickly."

The female relatives inside the door did not show weakness, and said: "If you want to see the bride, show some sincerity."

Hao Huiwan heard the words, took the profit bag, and smiled and handed it to the female relatives in front: "Sisters, don't stop us, it will be bad if we delay the auspicious time."

The female relatives took the profit bag with a smile, but did not give way, and asked aloud: "The new bride is getting started, how do you treat her?"

Xun Fei said with a white smile, "We will die together with Qing, and we will never give up on both life and death."

The answer was really straightforward, which caused all the female relatives to blush with embarrassment.

Yan Congle took a step forward, and then asked, "Then who is going to make decisions after going home?"

Xun Feibai didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "Of course everything is arranged by the lady."

As soon as this remark came out, the female family members covered their mouths and snickered, and someone said: "The third lady is dressing up. We heard that Miss Xun has a great literary talent. Why don't you sing a poem and remind me, maybe three Ladies, come out earlier if you are happy."

Xun Feibai thought for a while, and said loudly: "The weaver girl came to the world tonight, and I have nothing to do with makeup in the mirror. I have peach blossoms to reflect my face, and I don't need makeup to stain my face."

After Yan Congle listened to it, he hurriedly said, "This poem was not written by Miss Xun, so I don't count it."

Xun Feibai was helplessly thinking about making a new song. Zhao Shiyi blinked at her, then looked at Hao Jiahui and Li Zhendou, and glanced at the door. The three of them immediately understood what they meant, and nodded slightly .

Zhao Shiyi turned around, raised his head to look inside the door, and suddenly shouted: "Look, the new wife has come out."

The female family members inside the door all turned their heads. Hao Jiahui and Li Zhendou took the lead, taking advantage of the female family members not paying attention, and then Zhao Shiyi, Cui Jiaze and others started to launch the profit market package.

Xun Feibai squeezed through the door through the gap, came to the couch, looked at Yan Cong'an who half-covered his face with a smile on his face.

Xi Po on the side hurriedly handed over the red lead to the two of them. Xun Feibai and Yan Cong'an walked out of the Nuanxiang Pavilion side by side, holding each other by the end.Since it was Xun Fei who married in vain, the step of getting on the sedan chair was saved, and the two walked along the felt mat on the ground to the main hall in the south courtyard of the East Garden.

At this moment in the main room, Old Master Yan and Third Uncle Xun were already sitting in high positions, and all the guests and friends were already waiting here.

Xun Fei led Yan Cong'an across the brazier in front of the hall to the hall, and stood still in the hall.

The master of ceremonies sang and shouted: "Bow to heaven and earth."

The two turned around and bowed to the door.

The master of ceremonies sang and shouted at the side: Salute to the elder again.

The two bowed to the old master Yan and the third uncle above them.

The master of ceremonies sang and shouted again: Wives and wives worship each other.

The two turned around and bowed to each other.When the two got up, they looked at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

The master of ceremonies sang and shouted at the end: Li Cheng.

Yan Cong'an and Xun Feibai were embraced by the servants and went to the new house.In the new house, red silk is hung high, and there is a little boy standing beside the couch, holding a plate in his hand. On the plate is a sliced ​​papaya, which contains wine.

Seeing that the two were sitting down beside the couch, Xi Po picked up the scissors from the maid's tray, cut off a lock of their black hair, and then tied them into knots, saying in her mouth: "Tie hair is a wife, love and affection Doubt." Then he put the knotted blue silk in the kit and handed it to Yan Cong'an, then leaned over and gently tied the belts of the two's favorite clothes together.

After Xi Po finished these things, she turned and went out.

The little boy beside the couch stepped forward and handed the Paogua wine to Xun Feibai.

Xun Feibai took a sip from the wine cup and handed it to Yan Cong'an.Yan Cong'an lifted the round fan slightly, put the wine cup to his lips, and took a sip.The paw melon is slightly bitter, and the rice wine is slightly sweet. If two people drink the paw melon wine together, it indicates that the wife and wife are of the same mind, and they will share joys and sorrows together in the future, and share weal and woe.

The two of them drank paw melon wine, except for the wedding ceremony, all the ceremonies of the wedding were completed, and everyone withdrew from the new house one after another, leaving the two newlyweds alone in the room.
