Carrying the wrong sedan chair to marry the wrong wife

The Shen family's gate was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and firecrackers fell in front of the gate.

Wearing an auspicious uniform, Shen Wenchang suppressed the tension and excitement in his heart, and followed his father to the door.

In front of the gate, there is a white horse with red flowers around its neck, and behind it is a red sedan chair embroidered with blooming peonies.At this time, the bearers and matchmakers are in place, and the drums and music are also ready.

"Master Shen, Mrs. Shen, Young Master Shen, the auspicious time is approaching, and it's time to meet the bride." The matchmaker smiled and said as she stepped forward to kiss her back.

Shen Zhongnan nodded when he heard the words, today is his son's big day, and his father is also quite happy.

"Go, today is your big day, behave well on the road, don't make mistakes, do you know?"

Shen Wenchang nodded quickly and said, "My son knows."

After Shen Wenchang finished speaking, he looked up to his father and stepmother, summoned up his courage and said, "Then I'll go, Father, Second Mother."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Zhongnan and Mrs. Shen were shocked, and after being surprised, there was joy on their faces.

Shen Zhongnan patted his son's shoulder: "We're getting married, grown up, and sensible."

Mrs. Shen was also quite relieved at this time, even though she was just a second mother, she had a title at least.

"Go quickly, we are waiting for you to welcome the bride home." Mrs. Shen had tears in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were raised.

"Hey." After saying that, Shen Wenchang turned and walked to the peach blossom horse, holding the rein, stepping on the stirrup with his left foot, quickly got on the horse, and looked back at his father who was standing at the door with an expression on his face. After all, she could not do what her father wished. She wanted to be with the person she liked, and hoped that her father would not be too frightened tomorrow morning.

When I was young, the gong in front was struck.

"Drive!" Shen Wenchang put her legs under the horse's belly, and she couldn't help laughing when the team set off.

'This day has finally come, Lord Buddha, please don't have any accidents on the road, as long as I can marry Yiyi, I will definitely go to Fahua Temple to fulfill my vows. '

As the team walked out of Dongyu Lane, Shen Wenchang saw Cheng Yi and Xu Jinwen not far away from the horse. Cheng Yi was holding an hourglass in his hand. These days, they had already figured out exactly where and when they were going to go.

At this time, in the backyard of the Lu family, Lu Qingyi had already put on her little shirt, and stood in front of the dressing table with a blushing face.

"Huiban, hurry up." Mrs. Lu urged her daughter, pointing to a piece of cotton cloth placed in front of the bed. The cotton cloth was carefully sewn by the embroiderer, with red embroidery and very tight stitches.

Lu Qingyi wished she could find a crack in the ground and sneak in, she really didn't want to do such a custom.

"Oh, hurry up, hurry up, the sedan chair outside will be here soon." Mrs. Lu said urgently.

Lu Qingyi gritted her teeth, walked over, took off her red peony embroidered shoes, and stepped on the cotton cloth.

Mrs. Lu quickly waved to Xiao Rou, and Xiao Rou approached with twelve eggs, her head lowered the whole time.

After all, Mrs. Lu came over, gently opened the waist of her daughter's trousers, and put the eggs in from the waist of her trousers one by one.

Lu Qingyi's cheeks were flushed, and she could clearly feel the cold eggs rolling against her legs to the bottom of her trousers.

"Don't be shy, this will bless your childbirth in any month after marriage." Madam Lu said before putting in the last egg.

After finishing, Lu Qingyi hurriedly left the legs of the trousers and the eggs on the cotton cloth, while Lu Qingyi put on her red embroidered shoes, and walked quickly to the dressing table and sat down.

Mrs. Lu walked behind her daughter and picked up a comb to comb her hair, saying in her mouth: "If you comb your hair to the head, you don't have to worry about being rich; if you comb your hair twice, you will be free from disease and worry; if you comb your hair three times, you will have more children and live longer." ; Comb to the end again, raise the eyebrows again."

After Mrs. Lu finished speaking, she personally tied up her daughter's hair, twisting her jet-black hair into a corolla bun, with golden steps inserted on both sides.

Lu Qingyi looked at herself in the mirror with spring in her eyes. It was only at this moment that she had a strong awareness that she was going to get married.

"Miss." Xiaorou put on red lipstick with both hands.

Lu Qingyi pinched the orchid with her fingers, brought it to her lips and pressed it lightly, her lips turned red.

After dressing up, Mrs. Lu helped her daughter up and looked at her. Now her daughter's eyebrows are lightly dyed, her lips are red, and the rouge on her cheeks has been gently swept away. She is a little more charming than before.

"My Huiban is so beautiful." Mrs. Lu admired sincerely, "The auspicious time will come soon, and my mother only tells me that since the marriage is fixed, then follow the fate and follow the fate. When you marry into the Lin family, you must be considerate to your husband and son-in-law, and respect your in-laws. It’s better to forget about it, lest your husband’s family be humiliated and make you miserable for the rest of your life.”

"Save it for my daughter." Lu Qingyi lowered her head and whispered.

"That's good." Mrs. Lu patted her daughter's hand and told Xiao Ju: "Miss Waiting put on new pants."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyi said anxiously: "Mother, can you not wear those pants?"

"How can you not wear it?" Mrs. Lu cast a sharp glance at her daughter, "Mother forgot everything I told you yesterday?"

"Yes, but those pants..." Lu Qingyi looked embarrassed.

"It's a custom, it can't be broken." Mrs. Lu ruthlessly refused her daughter's request, remembering that when she got married, her mother also asked her to change into pants that didn't fit the seam. Will you put on another pair of pants?"

Lu Qingyi's cheeks were flushed, and she reluctantly went behind the screen, looking at the new pants that Xiao Rou brought in, she was really ashamed to touch them.

Xiaorou also blushed, Nuonuo said: "Miss, put it on soon, Madam is waiting outside."

Lu Qingyi tore off her pants, turned her back and said, "You don't need to wait on me, just go out."

Xiao Rou hurriedly backed out after hearing the words.

Lu Qingyi held the trousers like a hot potato, blushed and threw the trousers behind the screen, carefully took the rumored trousers, put them on, and walked out slowly.

Mrs. Lu glanced at her daughter, walked quickly behind the screen, saw the abandoned trousers on the ground, and hurriedly picked them up.

"Huiban, come in."

Lu Qingyi sighed softly when she heard the words, and walked into the screen helplessly.

At this time, Shen Wenchang avoided Yuan's house and circled the city for a circle. When he reached the middle Tang Dynasty on the west side of the city gate, he happened to meet the Lin family's welcoming team. Shen Wenchang and Lin Yunsheng nodded to each other on horseback.

The two wedding teams met face to face, one went west to Yuan's house, and the other went east to Lu's house.

"We have to hurry up. That family is also welcoming their relatives. The Shen family gave us so much money. We have to help them cross the Marriage Bridge first." The bearer hired by the Shen family said to another bearer.

"It's reasonable, but Young Master Shen in front of you is taking a long time, as if he's not in a hurry."

"Perhaps I don't know the details here. The young man doesn't have much ideas in this regard, so we have to remind him." After speaking, the bearer carried the sedan chair and shouted, "Master Shen, Master Shen!"

Shen Wenchang stopped the peach blossom horse when he heard the words, and looked back at the bearer: "What's the matter?"

"Let's speed up. Just now, I saw a family also went to greet their relatives. According to our Nanfeng custom, if they get married on the same day, which one will cross the marriage bridge first, and which one will get a fat son first. What if this happens? There must be a dispute."

Shen Wenchang pretended to be very arrogant when he heard the words: "It's okay, even if we meet, can he beat me? Young master, I am famous for being able to fight."

After Shen Wenchang finished speaking, she continued to ride slowly forward, she couldn't pay attention to the words of the bearer, otherwise she would be finished if she took a step too fast.

"Hey, young people don't listen to persuasion, so you have to fight on the big day." The bearer complained to his companion in a low voice.

After half a stick of incense, the Lin family's welcoming team arrived in front of the yamen. Lin Yunsheng got off his horse and walked quickly into the main hall. When he saw Lu Wenzheng, he bravely stepped forward and knelt down: "My son-in-law pays respects to my father-in-law."

"Get up." Lu Wenzheng hurriedly stepped forward to help Lin Yunsheng up. When things got to this point, he couldn't tell whether it was right or wrong.

"Go to the back to remind me, just say that the sedan chair has arrived, let the madam help the young lady out." Lu Wenzheng said to the maid beside him.

The little maid hurriedly ran to the backyard after hearing Yan Fu.

"My son-in-law, sit down." Lu Wenzheng pointed to the position of the lower head.

"Thank you father-in-law." Lin Yunsheng sat down neatly, but he was very nervous inside.

"Is your father still angry with me?" Lu Wenzheng asked.

"My father is not angry, so my father-in-law must not be suspicious."

In the backyard of the Lu family, Lu Qingyi was neatly dressed. The auspicious clothes were decorated with peony flowers as the hem and cuffs, and the peacocks were embroidered on her body and the skirt in front of her knees. A bow is tied at the waist and falls to the hem of the skirt.

"The sedan chair of the Lin family is here, Hui Ban, let's go out with mother." Mrs. Lu choked up at the end of her voice, and quickly turned to get the red hijab.

Lu Qingyi took two or three steps and hugged her mother from behind.

"mother."

Mrs. Lu was embraced by her daughter, and couldn't help crying anymore. She was pregnant and gave birth to a daughter in October, and she has always held her baby in her palm, but now she wants to marry the daughter of her heart into someone else's family with her own hands, how does she feel.

"Mom!" Hearing her mother's cry, Lu Qingyi's tears also flowed down her cheeks.

"Hui Ban!" Mrs. Lu turned around, hugged her daughter, and cried: "You can't be self-willed when you are married. Going to your husband's house is no more casual than staying at your mother's house. You can't bear it, just go back to your mother's house, the mother is the master of the son."

Listening to her mother's words, Lu Qingyi felt sad for a while. She used to look forward to getting married, but she didn't expect that when the day of marriage came, she would be so reluctant, panicked, and even complained a little. Why did her mother give birth to her? , but she can no longer accompany her knees and greet her every day.

"Ma'am, there is another urging from the front." Xiaorou hurried into the room.

Mrs. Lu knew that she had lost her composure when she heard the words, let go of her daughter, lowered her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Xiao Rou, quickly touch up the make-up for Miss."

Xiaorou heard the words and quickly supported her young lady.

Lu Qingyi sat in front of the dressing table again, she almost blurted out that she would not get married just now, she was also contradictory, she was looking forward to marrying Shen Wenchang, but when she got there, she felt aggrieved and wanted to stay with her parents.

Xiao Rou quickly fixed up Lu Qingyi's makeup, and Mrs. Lu put the hijab on her daughter's head in a stable mood, and took her hand out of the backyard.

Soon, the matchmaker got on the Lin family's sedan chair with Lu Qingyi on her back. Lin Yunsheng exchanged greetings with Lu Wenzheng, got on his horse and left.

At the same time, Shen Wenchang was escorted out of the Yuan's house by the Yuan family. In front of the Yuan's house, he watched the matchmaker carry Miss Yuan's family into the sedan chair with his own eyes.

"Father-in-law, please come back." Shen Wenchang bowed.

"Okay, okay, as a father, you can just wait for the son-in-law to bring the little girl home in three days." Yuan Bingchun said with a smile.

"Definitely, definitely." Shen Wenchang smiled, turned and mounted the horse, and after clasping fists at Yuan Bingchun, he tightened his grip and left.

"Three days later, I won't be the one who brought your daughter home." Shen Wenchang said to himself.

Turning across the street, Shen Wenchang caught a glimpse of Xu Jinwen upstairs, and saw Xu Jinwen stretching out an index finger. She immediately understood that everything was going smoothly according to yesterday's rehearsal.

Lin Yunsheng rode his horse out of Sanqiao Street. Everything was going well, but unexpectedly, on the wedding day, a beggar ran over. Lin Yunsheng's horse was frightened, its front hooves kicked up, and it wanted to run uncontrollably after landing. With a stretch of hoof, the beggar was kicked to the ground.

But Lin Yunsheng tightened the reins, and the horse circled on the spot and stopped.

Lin Yunsheng knocked the beggar on the ground to the ground and got off his horse in fright.

Seeing this, Tang Hongfei in the dark scolded: "It's his grandma's. Seeing that things are going to happen, such an accident happened. You continue to watch Fugui, and I'll send a letter to the fourth brother."

After Tang Hongfei finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards the Moon Tower, and told Cheng Yi in a few words, Cheng Yi ignored the hourglass, went downstairs quickly, and waited for Shen Wenchang in front of the Moon Tower.

Shen Wenchang turned out of the alley on horseback, caught a glimpse of Cheng Yi, and was shocked to see Cheng Yi shaking his head at her.

"Ouch!" Shen Wenchang suddenly covered his stomach.

"Master, what's the matter?" Shen Song who pulled the horse asked.

"I, I suddenly have a stomachache. I'm going to the latrine." Shen Wenchang said and got off the horse, clutching his stomach and about to run.

"Master!" Shen Song was so frightened that he quickly grabbed Shen Wenchang, "Master, you don't mean to run away, do you?"

"Running your head, what are you running on my big day, get out of the way, my stomach hurts, if you make me make a fool of myself in the street on my big day, I will never end with you!"

Seeing that his young master's expression was anxious and not like lying, Shen Song let go of his hand.

Shen Wenchang hurriedly ran to the moon-watching building. There was a hut at the end of the first floor of the moon-watching building. Shen Wenchang pulled Cheng Yi and ran to the hut.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Lin Yunsheng's horse kicked down a beggar and is currently stopping to deal with it, so you're going to be slow here." Cheng Yi said, copying his hands.

"No matter how slow it is, who knows how long he will solve it." Shen Wenchang was in a hurry, "Fourth brother, help me to keep an eye on it. If Lin Yunsheng doesn't leave, I won't leave. I'm pretending to have a stomachache and procrastinating. As soon as Lin Yunsheng gets on the horse over there, let me know."

Cheng Yi nodded upon hearing this, turned and left.

Shen Wenchang hid in the hut, holding his nose and not going out.

Shen Song was worried, and asked by the door, and heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the young master was still inside.

After a long time, Shen Wenchang couldn't take it anymore and opened the hut.

"Master, how is it?" Shen Song hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Okay, better, I don't know what's going on, the diarrhea is severe." Shen Wenchang said with a weak look, and walked out of the Moon Tower while talking.

Shen Song led the horse, Shen Wenchang put his left foot into the stirrup, and just about to get on, he exclaimed: "Oh, no, here we go again, I have to go to the latrine."

After Shen Wenchang finished speaking, he turned and ran into the Moon Tower.

And at Sanqiao Street, Lu Qingyi in the sedan chair was so anxious that the veil was almost torn, she lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and whispered a few words to Xiaorou.

Xiao Rou quickly ran back to the Yamen, and ordered Lu Qing to come with the Yamen servants.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." Lu Qing hurried over, "Young Master Lin, please get on your horse, don't miss the auspicious time, I will send this beggar to the hospital."

After Lu Qing finished speaking, the yamen servant stepped forward to carry the beggar.

The beggar covered his heart with a distressed look on his face, followed by cursing at the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop: "It deserves it, anyone who steals will have a bad end."

Lin Yunsheng looked up at the sky, worried that Shen Wenchang was about to reach the Marriage Bridge, so he got on his horse in a hurry, it would be a coincidence, Ruilan and the child in her stomach would not survive.

Seeing Lin Yunsheng on the horse, Zhu Fugui hurried downstairs, just in time to meet Tang Hongfei and Cheng Yi who came with him, and the three of them rushed to Wangyuelou to report the news together.

Shen Wenchang went in and out four or five times, finally looking forward to Tang Hongfei and the others gesturing to her, he was inexplicably relieved, and quickly got on his horse and went to the Marriage Bridge.

Maybe it's God's mercy, maybe it's because of the marriage, the two families just met in front of the marriage bridge, no more, no less.

"Okay, what did I say, let's meet." The bearer hired by the Shen family complained to his companion.

"Brother Shen, I didn't expect you and I to get married on the same day, it's fate." Lin Yunsheng clasped his fists on the horse and said.

The corners of Shen Wenchang's mouth almost raised, could literati also act?

"Which one is destined for you, if you are acquainted, step back 20 meters and let us go there first."

"It's unreasonable, do you know who our master is?" the servant of the Lin family said angrily.

"I don't care who your master is. Anyway, I have to cross this marriage bridge first." Shen Wenchang put on an unreasonable look, which made Tang Hongfei and others hiding behind the tree blush inexplicably. Rascal kind.

Shen Wenchang and Lin Yunsheng refused to give in to each other. During the quarrel, they didn't know whose family's servants made a move first. There was chaos on the Marriage Bridge, and the bearers put down their sedan chairs one after another and huddled together.

"Stop!" Lin Yunsheng shouted, and seeing that the crowd had stopped, he said, "Shen Wenchang, today is the day you and I get married. It's not auspicious to make trouble like this. I have a fair way. You and I will go to Yuelao The ancestral hall draws lots, and everyone present is going to be a witness, and whoever gets the red lottery will pass first."

"This method is good." The bearer whispered earnestly.

"Sure, let's go." Shen Wenchang got off the horse, "Leave the sedan chair here, and the Shen family will follow me!"

Lin Yunsheng also took a group of people from the Lin family to Yuelao Temple.

All of a sudden, dark crowds of people crowded the Yuelao Temple, and in front of the Marriage Bridge, there was only a meter difference between the two sedan chairs, one on the left and the other on the right.

Seeing that everyone had left, Tang Hongfei and others hurried out to carry the sedan chairs and swapped the positions of the two sedan chairs.

Finally, Cheng Yi stood beside Lu Qingyi's sedan chair and asked, "Is it Master?"

"Yes." Lu Qingyi's nervous heart dropped halfway.

Cheng Yi also felt relieved at the moment, it was confusing, Cheng Yi took out a very short red ribbon from his sleeve and tied it on the tassels that fell from the roof of the sedan chair, so he couldn't see it unless he looked carefully.

When you're done, Cheng Yi and the others hide in the dark.

When I was young, another family came to welcome the relatives. Seeing that the two sedan chairs in front blocked the way, they asked the servants to carry them aside.

"Hey, his grandma's." Tang Hongfei was furious.

"Let's go take a look after they leave," Xu Jinwen said.

The newly-arrived welcoming team had nothing to block the way, and went straight to the Marriage Bridge, and left in style.

Seeing this, Tang Hongfei hurriedly ran to the sedan chair. Halfway through the run, the members of the Shen family and the Lin family came back and stopped abruptly.

Cheng Yi's heart tightened, and he ran to the side, staring closely at the sedan chair tied with the red string.

Lin Yunsheng walked in the front with a happy expression on his face. He had just drawn a red lottery, so he could cross the bridge first and come to the two sedan chairs, one on the left and the other on the right, in reverse order. He smiled and pointed to the sedan chair on the left. Said: "Pick up the sedan chair and let's go."

As soon as these words came out, all the members of the Lin family looked up, Lin Yunsheng got on his horse, the bearer also lifted up the sedan chair, Xiaorou followed Zi ah beside the sedan chair, and before leaving, she cast a glance at Shen Wenchang, then lowered her head and walked up the Marriage Bridge hurriedly.

Shen Wenchang shook his head speechlessly, glanced at the sedan chair, couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, turned on the horse, and put on an angry face: "What's the matter with you, lift up the sedan chair, and we'll go too, that's really bad luck."

Lu Qingyi in the sedan chair was completely relieved when she heard the sound, and began to savor Shen Wenchang's words as soon as her heart was relieved. The red lips under the hijab slightly parted and said annoyedly: "It's bad luck on a big wedding day, but I'm not afraid of really bad luck."

But no matter how annoyed she was, Shen Wenchang couldn't listen or look away.

Cheng Yi walked a few steps forward after leaving the Lin family, and was relieved when she saw that the sedan chair carried by Shen Wenchang was indeed tied with a red rope by her.

But Tang Hongfei, Xu Jinwen, and Zhu Fugui were in a mess. Without waiting to greet Cheng Yi who had left the team, they followed the sedan chair. They wanted to find a chance to remind Shen Wenchang, but Shen Song kept holding the horse and had no chance.

"Crackling, crackling..."

As soon as Shen Wenchang rode his horse into Dongyu Lane, the firecrackers in front of Shen's house went off.

The maid hurriedly ran into the front hall: "Master, madam, the young master has returned to greet his relatives."

Shen Zhongnan and his wife looked at each other, and both were relieved.

All the relatives and friends in the Shen family's courtyard also stood up from the banquet.

Peng Yi and Peng Xin ran to the door and waited.

Shen Wenchang got off the horse, and when he saw his cousins, he quickly closed his grinning mouth, as if he was at his mercy.

"Officer groom, please kick the sedan chair door." The matchmaker stepped forward and said.

"Cousin, kick harder." Peng Yi watched the excitement, and the crowd shouted with a smile.

Shen Wenchang smiled, walked to the side of the sedan chair, pulled away his robe, twirled on the ground with his toes, and then kicked the sedan chair violently.

The sedan chair left the ground immediately, and Lu Qingyi in the sedan chair almost exclaimed. Apart from being shocked, she was just annoyed, how could this be, how could this be so?

Shen Wenchang had a good grasp of strength, and the sedan chair fell back steadily after leaving the ground. She was just happy, and kicked harder to express her indescribable joy.

"Okay, man." Someone in the crowd shouted.

"Rude." Peng Xin rolled her eyes, she really didn't deserve Sister Yuan.

Shen Wenchang only came to her senses at this time when she heard the words, it seemed that the matchmaker told her yesterday that kicking hard means something and kicking lightly means something, but she was out of her mind just now and forgot.Suddenly startled, I stretched out my hand to pull the curtain of the sedan chair to explain.

"Officer groom, pull that, the car curtain, and carry the bride out." The matchmaker stepped forward and pressed Shen Wenchang's hand that was about to pull the curtain.

Shen Wenchang smiled awkwardly, walked to the sedan chair, and was about to open the sedan chair curtain when Xu Jinwen stopped him.

"Wait a minute." Xu Jinwen ran over anxiously, followed by Tang Hongfei and others. Xu Jinwen pulled Shen Wenchang, and walked aside to whisper in spite of everyone.

"What?" Shen Wenchang was shocked, his eyes were full of panic, he turned around quickly to confirm, but was held back by Xu Jinwen, and whispered: "Under the eyes of everyone, you can't verify it. When you get to this point, you should carry your back into the house first, and don't do it after entering." Lift the hijab and ask first, if it’s not the Master, we’ll try to take advantage of the banquet to see if we can change people.”

Shen Wenchang's face turned green, and he no longer had the joy he had just now.

At this time, the spectators had already started whispering, Peng Yi stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, cousin?"

"It's okay." Shen Wenchang's voice trembled a little, and then he was urged to pull the curtain of the sedan chair and carry the bride out.

For a moment, feeling familiar, Shen Wenchang turned his head to the side, but please be sure that it is her clothes that are being carried on his back.

Surrounded by the crowd, Shen Wenchang stepped over the brazier with the bride on his back and went straight to the front hall.

A maid had already prepared the red and green belts, and handed one end to her young master and the other to the young lady who had just entered the door.

At this time, many people gathered in the front hall. The grandparents of the Wang family sat on the left, the grandparents of the Peng family sat at the back, Shen Zhongnan and his wife sat at the main seat, and the Xu family and the Peng family stood behind the two elders. The relatives of the Yuan family and Shen Zhongnan's business relationship.

"The auspicious time has come, bride and groom, let's worship heaven and earth!!!"

Shen Wenchang held the red and green belt tightly, shaking non-stop, and slowly bent down when he heard the words.

Lu Qingyi under the hijab was already very nervous. After all, she was not the wife of the Shen family. If she was exposed at this time, she would be a loser in order to maintain her reputation.

"Second obeisance to the high hall!!!"

The two turned around slowly, a maid laid a futon in front of the two, and the two knelt down and kowtowed.

"Husband and wife say hello!!!"

Lu Qingyi was supported by Xiaoying, the little girl of the Yuan family, and turned around, facing Shen Wenchang, she was slowly blessed. Since then, the marriage has been fixed, and from now on, they will enter and exit together as husband and wife.
