Qing Jialu

At three o'clock in the unitary hour, drum music suddenly sounded outside, and several women with heavy makeup and colorful makeup danced the folk dance of Xiou to the beat of the drum.This is a show that only happens when weddings are held on the grassland, and it immediately attracts the nearby herdsmen to join in the fun.

At this time, Ouyang Xing ordered people to set up the wedding scene. Around the campfire as the center, a circle of low tables was placed. On the tables were mutton, beef, various foods, and highland barley wine, which is indispensable for Northwesterners.Whenever there are festivals or weddings on the grassland, dozens of jars of highland barley wine will be brought in to entertain the guests.

There is no respect or inferiority on the grassland, all visitors are guests, and the herdsmen sit at will.They spoke the dialect of Xi'ou, and they didn't even know whose family got married, but they still watched the ceremony with blessings.

The dancers had finished a dance, and they replaced the prairie men to play drums to cheer up.The auspicious time was approaching, and when Mu Mian saw that the scene was almost arranged, she hurriedly pulled John over and asked, "How is it? Has Your Majesty put on the wedding dress?"

"It looks good after wearing it." John was also very excited after completing a big task.

"Did Your Majesty say anything?" Kapok asked again.

"Ah, what?" John scratched the back of his head, eyes confused, "He didn't say anything, and then I left."

Kapok choked up, and seemed unable to ask any more questions.Time was running out, so she took out a piece of paper and handed it to John, "I just finished writing this, and the task of master of ceremonies is left to you, sir. Just follow the content written on the script and make sure you memorize it by heart."

John opened the white paper, looked at the long speech, with a look of doubt on his face: "Back to back...recite by heart? No, I can't remember it. The kapok girl..."

As a result, when he looked up, he found that kapok had gone far.

Now that Kapok has nothing to spare, she rushes into Shen Jia's tent after finding John. She was relieved when she saw that Shen Jia had already put on her wedding dress, but when she saw that Wei Mo was still staying here, she became furious again. Woke up.

"General Wei, what are you doing here, go there quickly."

"Ah?" Wei Mo was dumbfounded by the training, and looked at Kapok blankly.

"Ah what, what family are you from, think about it for yourself." Mu Mian dared not say clearly because of the presence of Shen Jia.

Fortunately, Wei Mo was smart, and immediately realized that he was from her mother's family, so she immediately stood up and said, "I was wrong, I'll go there right away."

After Wei Mo left, Shen Jia was still confused, she raised her head and asked the girl, "What are you talking about here and there, this house and that house?"

"Brother, don't worry about these things. After you put on your hat, I will take you out with Dr. Fan."

Shen Jia didn't understand anymore, and asked in surprise, "Which door are you sending me out?"

"Okay, don't ask." Kapok smiled, picked up the red top hat and handed it to the elder brother.

Shen Jia took the hat, looked left and right, "This looks like a fake official hat, it's too fake."

"Yes, yes, don't be picky, put it on quickly." Mu Mian couldn't help laughing, it turned out that her elder brother was really stupid.

After everything was tidied up, the sound of crackling firecrackers suddenly sounded outside. Shen Jia hadn't noticed any problem so far, and wondered, "The Fire Festival has begun?"

"That's right, let's go." Mu Mian and Doctor Fan went out with Shen Jia.

As soon as she got out of the tent, Shen Jia found that the outside was full of people, and the sea of ​​people was extremely lively.But this is not the strangest thing, the strange thing is that everyone cheered at him, smiled, and yelled at him incomprehensible Xiou dialect.

Seeing the crowd waving at him, Shen Jia also waved at them with an inexplicable face.He waved and wondered, "Why are they waving at me?"

"Because you are good-looking." Kapok said perfunctorily.

"Really?" Shen Jia was a little embarrassed by the compliment.

Along the way, Shen Jia followed Mu Mian and Doctor Fan in a daze, and finally arrived at the designated place.At this moment he found John standing there too, clapping his hands and smiling at him.

"What's the situation?" Shen Jia would really be a fool if she couldn't see it now.

At this moment, John said loudly again: "Welcome the newcomer Xiao Yi."

After hearing these words, Shen Jia looked forward in disbelief.I saw Xiao Yi walking out of the tent accompanied by Ouyang Xing and Wei Mo.

The chaotic crowd around was hidden, and the cheers were reduced to the background sound. At this moment, Shen Jia only had Xiao Yi in his eyes, and it seemed that there were only two people looking at each other in the world.

As the sun set in the west, the afterglow of the setting sun happened to fall on Xiao Yi's hair, which made his whole body shine.With a smile on his face, he walked slowly, like a ray of light shining into Shen Jia's life.

He and he both wore red black gauze round neck wedding dresses, which were obviously the same style, but Shen Jia felt that Xiao Yi wore them more glamorously, making him unable to take his eyes off.

Seeing another newcomer who was also a man, the cheers in the crowd grew louder, and everyone seemed to burst their throats with excitement.At this time, Kapok really felt the openness of the people in Xiou, and did not care about the gender of the couple.

Shen Jia was moved to tears when she heard the cheers around her and saw the smiles of her friends.He thought that he would never experience the wedding night in his bridal chamber, never have the chance to wear a red wedding dress, and never hear the blessings of so many people in his whole life.Unexpectedly, today, he was able to make this dream come true.

It's really like a dream, and there may not be so many surprises in dreams.

After Xiao Yi approached, he gently raised his hand to wipe away the teardrops from the corners of Shen Jia's eyes.

"Why, are you crying?" Xiao Yi still teased him with a smile at this time.

Shen Jia sniffed, "Did you already know?"

"It's not too early, but it's not too late either." Xiao Yi smiled, "You really don't see any problem with the clothes?"

"Ah, really not." Shen Jia also smiled embarrassedly, "At first glance, I thought it was made after Daliang's official uniform, so I didn't think too much about it."

Indeed, when women of the common people in Daliang get married, they can enjoy the clothes belonging to their wives, the phoenix crown and Xiapei, and the men of the common people can wear the ninth-rank official uniforms when they greet them in person.Therefore, wedding clothes and official clothes are quite similar, and it is understandable to admit mistakes for a while. [1]

"Did you not pay attention when Du Huan got married?" Xiao Yi asked again.

Shen Jia scratched her head, "I only remember that Mu Jin's wedding dress was very beautiful."

Xiao Yi thought that Shen Jia was really silly and cute, he approached him, and gently took his hand.

The two intertwined their fingers, and the wedding officially began.

John, as the master of ceremonies, took a step forward.He cleared his throat, faced the guests, and said, "The two surnames are married, and a contract is made together..."

Unfortunately, just as the conversation started, John suddenly got stuck, and the following words came.

Kapok standing aside: "..."

Doctor Fan standing aside: "I have a bad feeling..."

Wei Mo standing aside: "I feel the same way."

"...a good relationship will last forever, and the same name will be matched." John thought for a long time, and after holding back a few words, he finally gave up. He rudely and decisively opened the next link, "The two surnames are married today, and the newcomers are respectfully invited to pay homage together."

Kapok rested her forehead, it was her mistake that she even forgot that John was a foreigner, so she shouldn't expect him to memorize a long series of polite sentences.

Fortunately, the herdsmen in Xi'ou couldn't understand a single word, and they didn't realize that the master of ceremonies made a mistake at all, they only knew how to applaud and cheer.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi and Shen Jia almost laughed out loud.But they don't care that John can't remember the words, they are already very satisfied with this wedding.

Today's wedding may be the funniest and most unreasonable; but it will also be the funniest and most unforgettable.

"Bow to heaven and earth." John said loudly.

Facing the direction of Daliang, Xiao Yi and Shen Jia bowed their hands and bowed.

Seeing this, Wei Mo whispered to the kapok next to him, "Didn't you say you won't worship Heaven, Earth and Gaotang?"

Kapok looked at the sky, "How do I know, you can ask John."

"Second salute..." John got stuck again, but fortunately he had an idea and turned a corner, "Second salute to the guests."

Xiao Yi and Shen Jia also froze for a moment, and bowed their hands to the stranger who came.

"Husband and wife worship." John wiped the sweat from his brow, but it was over soon.

I saw Shen Jia and Xiao Yi standing face to face, they looked at each other, there seemed to be a thousand words in their eyes.

Under the watchful eyes of relatives, friends and strangers, on the vast prairie, two people salute each other to complete this most important worship.

Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said.

Hold the hand of the son, and the son is old.
