The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

On the day before the wedding day, a wife of the Zheng family ran to the new house. According to the custom, the new house was arranged, and some people stayed to guard it. Outsiders are not allowed to enter until the newcomer comes in.

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

Yun Yan couldn't intervene in this step. Although he always felt that it was necessary to explain some physiological common sense to the girl, he was helpless limited to the environment, and men and women were different. There was really no way.

Even if he kept it from others, he couldn't explain what he was doing. Maybe he was thought to have another attempt.

Only a female elder like Zheng Ping, she taught step by step in accordance with the usual practice, and only the night before Shuangyi was going to get married, did she explain the affairs of the house with her.

Fortunately, Shen Kuo is more knowledgeable, often reading medical books, he should know some knowledge, and he will never get hurt, so they can explore it by themselves.

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

Before crossing, Yunyan saw on TV that the brides in the bridal party were all sedan chairs. At this time, it was a sedan chair with two tall horses. After all, lifting the sedan chair by manpower did not conform to the concept at this time.

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

Yun Yan returned with a big sack, and personally took a few young men from the Zheng family out, grabbing the contents of the pocket and throwing it out.

The band attracted many people watching the excitement along the way. At this time, seeing them exhilarating, they all gathered to pick them up, and they also said auspicious words to bless the married couple today to grow old together.

A closer look revealed that there were not only copper coins in the pocket, but also grains of things. Peeling them apart, they turned out to be sugar **** that smelled of milk. This joy was so special. I heard that the bridegroom is from Qiantang. Is this Qiantang custom?

The children ate the sugar **** and they all bloomed with joy. They can usually eat a little white sugar by chance, but the taste is incomparable with this sugar. The sweetness is more delicate, not to mention that the thick milk scent permeates the mouth, which is extra sweet.

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

When the auspicious time arrives, the bride comes out of the pavilion and boarded the float.

Those who were fascinated by the wedding candy, also chanted the congratulations line by line around the float. When Yun Yan returned to Zheng Jia Erlang, he divided the wedding candy and the wedding money in his pocket and distributed them aside.

Fortunately, Yun Yan had prepared a lot in return, and simply spread it all the way to make a way.

The children followed all the way to pick up the wedding candy, and the adults watched more.

The copper coins and sugar that Zheng Jiaguang sprinkled this way are very valuable. Looking at the bride's heavy burden of dowry, it drains half a street long. This daughter is really willing to marry!

An insider said: "What is this? You can see these. They also married 20,000 yuan and several shops in the best locations!"

"Tsk tut, twenty thousand pens! What a good girl!"

"Hehe! You can see the money, see if you see, those few burdens, the lady in the palace put makeup on! The lady of the Zheng family and her prince were the officials who acted as the matchmaker and bestowed the marriage! "

"No wonder there is such a pomp..."

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

"Today is a day of great rejoicing. You must be calm while you save."

"Get married, you can't tell your colleague and boss to read a joke."

"I'm also nervous for me... The guests who came today are too rich."

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

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

Not to mention that when I went through the process of discussing marriage and exchanging posts, the woman had already stated the dowry items. The handwriting was very large. Not mentioning the other things, it was only 20,000 coins that no one would be willing to take it out.

This price, for the level of the Zheng family, is a waste of money. What's more, I heard that most of them were prepared by Zheng Shuangyi's brother and mother, who had been outside alone.

At that time, Shen Kuo shook his head and said with a chuckle: "The most valuable thing is not the 20,000 yuan, but those shops."

"Yes, the location of the shop is very good, every inch of land is rich in money."

"No, no, no... these shops, my uncle will definitely have an idea to run these shops in the future, and that's the real dowry."

The Shen family believed that Shen Kuo had made a lot of money not long after being in Beijing, as well as the famous jade sun red in his mother's house.

...

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

"Fortunately, I can hold on." Shuang Yi said. Early this morning, she was dragged up to dress up, and only ate a little. After that, for the complete makeup and there was no urgent need on the way, she didn't dare to eat anything.

Sure enough, whether it is ancient or modern, weddings are very torturous.

"That's good," Yun Yan said back, seeing Zheng Ping's carriage curtain being lifted up when she saw the car driving behind her. "Aniang is also worried about you, I'll go talk to her."

So all the way to the new house, a lot of people gathered, Yun Yan returned here to distribute the wedding candy and wedding money, and sent away the people who were blocking the door.

Zheng Ping and Fu Yunfeng got out of the car and returned with Yun Yan. They helped the dressed-up Shuangyi get out of the car. According to the customs at this time, they practiced all kinds of auspicious movements. Middle, sitting on the bed.

The new house is full of friends. The female guests are holding Shuangyi to go through the program. Yun Yan returned to the man and did not go in. He went to the banquet and poured Shen Kuo into it until Shen Kuo shouted that he would salute later. Just stopped.

Shen Kuo's face was flushed red, and he took the red silk to the new house. Shuangyi also had a section in his hand. After the two sections of red silk were tied into a concentric knot, Shen Kuo could use this to draw Shuangyi out.

Shen Kuo's aunt lifted Shuangyi's hijab with a weighing pole. This was called Shuangyi's appearance. Friends and relatives met and praised the bride for her good looks.

Some people joked back with Yun Yan. They had known that his sister was so beautiful, and that the official would go to propose marriage before being a matchmaker. This really gave Shen Kuo an advantage.

Yun Yan hummed back and said, "Who do you marry when you are my sister?" Our family is very demanding!

Originally, marriage should be saluted 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.

After worshiping their ancestors and parents, the two of them have to go back to their new house to worship, drink a cup of wine, and get together.

After such a set of skills, Rao Shuangyi's skills are profound, and he can't help but panting, sitting on the new bed, "Is it over?"

"Ah, don't say that." Shen Kuo was anxious. "It's unlucky, what is it?"

Shuangyi covered his mouth, somewhat silly.

Shen Kuo brought something to Shuang Yi to eat, "You must be hungry, eat more, just ate wine on an empty stomach."

Shuang Yi unceremoniously took it over and ate it. She just ate, and she found that Shen Kuo was still standing aside looking at her kindly, "Look at what I do..."

"Nothing, I just wanted to finally marry you back." Shen Kuo smiled slightly.

At this time, someone urged outside that it was time to go out and thank you after the ceremony.

Shen Kuo pressed the door to not let anyone in, "Don't worry, you finish this." Then he raised his voice, "I know, when I change my shirt, I will get sweaty."

After some time, Shuangyi had a good time. The two of them went out hand in hand and went to the hall again to accept congratulations from relatives and friends. They also had to thank them one by one, and recognize both relatives and friends.

Yun Yanhui had originally poured Shen Kuo a few cups, but now he saw that Shen Kuo was slammed by other relatives and friends, and he was not happy again—in fact, Shuangyi winked at him.

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

Yunyan grabbed his sleeves back, and it was time for them to see the legendary Bianjing Wine Fairy!

Zhao Yunchu, as the best friend of the Yun family, of course came to participate, but he didn’t sit in the seat of the closest relatives. Fortunately, he was sitting next to him. Seeing Yun Yan returning like this, he rushed forward, “I can’t because I can drink. , Don’t cherish yourself like this, you drink less."

Yun Yan swiped back and felt that it was different now from when she was a single dog, but she still said with great pride in words: "I know, you are only right to worry about them."

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

"Hey, not only does Shen Cunzhong marry his wife well, but also his brother-in-law, he also helps you block alcohol."

"This brother-in-law wants it!"

Even the relatives and friends on the side of Yunyan's back, when they saw this, they also came up, "Not only the brother-in-law wants it, we also want it, don't bully the bridegroom and can't drink it!"

People from the Zheng family, and friends from Yun Yanhui, all of a sudden became a collective fight for wine.

With so many people fighting together, no one estimated that Shen Kuo's wine had been poured. Shen Kuo breathed a sigh of relief and gave Yun Yan a grateful look.

"Hey--how many people are there, we Qiantang people are the least afraid to compare wine."

"That is, since everyone is going to drink, it is better to 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 again shown. While pushing a couple of newcomers to the elders, he said: "Then make a compromise and take half of each. As for the Qiantang, one person has always toasted everyone. , Come in turns. We in Bianjing are mostly good guys singled out. Instead, let’s come round by round first. After one lap, those who haven’t fallen will automatically be eligible for singled out, and they can choose to fight for alcohol. Object."

Yun Yan replied that this proposal was approved by most people, so he began to drink. Because there are too many people today, many people will no longer be able to do it within a circle.

Yun Yan turned his eyes back to Qingming, "Whose turn is next?"

He stood, and Zhao Yunchu sat aside, feeding him a few bites 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 be singled out, come on, who wants to pick me?"

A relative of the Shen family sat down in pain, covering his mouth, pretending not to hear. He didn't want to compare with this brother-in-law. He was simply not a human being. He was the easiest to drink after that.

When the toast is toasting, the person toast does it, everyone has to do it too, just take a sip, then everyone is free.

At the beginning, there were still people who could do it with great pride, but afterwards, they all took one bite at a time. Only Yun Yan answered, others would do it, and others would do it too!

I went to the toilet twice in the middle of the journey. Apart from that, there was nothing wrong with the food and I was able to eat energetically-but don’t mention, today’s noodles are indeed delicious, not only the Bianjing specialties, but also Take care of their food for Qiantang people.

You say, is this still a human?

Yun Yan saw that no one dared to pick himself up, and sat down, "This is... it's so cold in the heights."

Over there, Shen Kuo saw the rows of colleagues, relatives and friends who had fallen down, and couldn't help being afraid. There are too many people here today. If he does it himself, he will use tea instead of wine, it will be a waste.

"It's getting late..." Yun Yan recalled that he still remembered this incident, "We will return to the new house in the deposit."

The people of the Shen family had been stunned a long time ago when they saw the scene just now. Most of their sons and men were "dead". The Shen family's parents and female family Mumu nodded their heads and hurriedly followed in their footsteps and sent the newcomer back to the room.

There are so many people, everyone is embarrassed to say something, anyway, I said before marriage, standing at the door of the new house, using only eyes to suggest that the two new couples are.

Both Shen Kuo and Shuang Yi were flushed and shyly shut the door.

Yun Yan returned to the station for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief and helped Zhao Yunchu to turn around, "The next time I see them, it will be when Shuangyi returns..."

Even if three days later, a banquet held at the woman's house to entertain the son-in-law will also be organized in the Zheng's house.

Zheng Ping blamed: "You are too Meng Lang today, drunk the guests."

"It's only half of it," Yun Yan replied innocently, "Moreover, this is a wedding drink. Being drunk means that people are happy in their hearts."

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

Shen's father and mother Shen said with a smile: "This is also a relief for Cunzhong. I didn't expect that there are so many distinguished guests today, and many of them have to accompany a drink. If it weren't for Yan Ge'er, Cunzhong would have been drunk by now."

On the bridal day, the bridegroom was drunk and unconscious, that was a joke.

In other words, this is also because the two elders are knowledgeable and very satisfied with each other, so no matter what happens, they can think about the good and consider each other.

There is one more intimate, Zhao Yunchu offered to help arrange the guests.

A considerable part of these guests came for the sake of Yun Yan's return. They were so drunk that it was inevitable that some people would be dissatisfied at home, and the Shen family was not familiar with these people's homes.

Yun Yan drank a lot and was not drunk, but it was a bit inhumane to ask him to do things again. But Zhao Yunchu was willing to come forward, and it had the same effect.

——Anyway, everyone now knows that the relationship between him and Yun Yanhui is so good that they seem to be one. Although Yun Yan married his younger sister, no one would think that he would overstep it when he came to take care of it.

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

Zhao Yunchu stood aside obediently and smiled.

Yun Yan replied lazily and said: "You still have half a son, you just have to marry a daughter-in-law."

Zhao Yunchu's cheeks blushed when he heard him ridicule like this in the public.

Zheng Ping also smiled and thumped Yun Yan back and smiled, "You are really, knowing that Brother Chu's face is thin, and he is embarrassed to make trouble."

Yun Yan thought back, sorry? Didn’t you see that he was so beautiful?
