Chapter 176 The auspicious time has arrived
Although it was hard work at that time, it was still very interesting.
A few people walked around the village, stopping here and there, chatting and laughing.
This time they were the ones who supervised the work themselves. The retired emperor, Su Mu, and Su Dingguo all came to check on the work frequently. Building a school was a big deal and nothing could be sloppy.
"Su Mu, is your elder brother getting married soon?" Zhou Ziyu suddenly asked.
"Yes." Su Mu's smile became brighter, "It will be after a while."
"I will definitely come when the time comes!"
"Okay!" Su Mu nodded with a smile.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of Su Yuanshan's wedding.
The Su family started decorating the house one day in advance. Everywhere was red, which looked very festive and auspicious.
All the family members, young and old, changed into festive new clothes, even Wangcai brought little Huahua with him. This was a big happy event for the Su family!
People of all ages in the village came to help.
The matchmaker followed Su Yuanshan closely and taught him what he needed to pay attention to. Although he had seen other people get married, this was his first time to experience it personally, so Su Yuanshan couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Bring your wedding attire and get dressed up.
Su Yuanshan rode on a horse with a big red flower on his belt, looking like a groom. When the auspicious time came, a team of horse-drawn carriages went out to pick up the bride.
The wedding procession set off, and the Su family was still very busy, "Hurry, take good care of this brazier!"
The main hall for worshipping must also be kept well-maintained, with double happiness characters pasted on it and ready for the feast to be passed around.
You can tell from the sounds of music and firecrackers outside that the bride is about to arrive.
The bride in a bright red wedding dress sits in a sedan chair and comes over here. The sedan chair is being lifted over a brazier, which means a prosperous future.
The bride walks out of the sedan chair without touching the ground with her feet, and walks into the main hall on the mat.
The two best men were elders of high moral character and esteem, who served as 'Yin Zan' and 'Tong Zan'.
Candles and incense were lit, firecrackers were set off, music was played, and the wedding ceremony began with the praises of the two best men.
"The auspicious time has come."
"After worshipping heaven and earth, the couple will have a perfect marriage."
"I bow twice to my parents to express my gratitude for their upbringing."
"Husband and wife bow to each other and respect each other."
"The ceremony is over, the bride and groom enter the bridal chamber."
The end of the wedding ceremony means that the two people officially become husband and wife.
The bride and groom hold the "Hehuan Liang", which is a piece of silk. The groom holds the bride's hand and leads her into the bridal chamber.
The bride sits on the edge of the bed and the groom needs to lift the bride's veil.
Su Yuanshan was excited and thrilled. He slowly lifted the veil, revealing Jiang Xiaoman's blushing face.
"Drink the wedding wine, forever and ever."
Someone nearby handed over two ladles filled with wine.
The wedding wine is a gourd that is split into two halves. After drinking the wine, the two halves need to be tied together, meaning that the husband and wife were originally two parts of one body, but now they are united as one.
Some are tied together originally, and after drinking, you throw the ladle on the ground, preferably with one facing up and the other facing down, which represents the harmony of yin and yang.
"We are married as husband and wife, and our love for each other is unquestionable."
The bride and groom each take a small bunch of hair and tie them together.
The most lively part is the bridal chamber prank, where the wedding bed is strewn with flowers and dates, longans and other things are scattered on the newlyweds to wish for many children and good fortune.
It was already evening when the bride was brought back.
Weddings and funeral ceremonies are held at dusk, which is when day and night meet. Day is yang and night is yin. Men are yang and women are yin. Dusk is when yin and yang combine, and it is considered an auspicious time.
In fact, there is another reason. The wedding custom is long, and the groom has to toast the guests. After the toast, the couple can go to the bridal chamber as soon as possible.
Su Mu stood by and watched with a smile as his elder brother and Jiang Xiaoman went through the process one after another with red faces.
"What do you think of getting married, Mumu?" Ji Shiyan asked. Anyway, he was a little envious.
"It's okay, it's quite lively. You see, they look at each other and then shyly look away. Also, even after they look away, they still secretly glance at each other." Su Mu said as he approached Ji Shiyan.
The noise level in the current environment is indeed a bit noisy, and it is difficult to hear what people are saying, so the two people need to be very close to each other.
Ji Shiyan and Su Mu were very close and smelled that familiar scent again.
The two were whispering to each other, and Zhou Ziyu shouted, "What are you two talking about? Come out to the banquet!"
"coming!"
There was no need for Su Mu to accompany Jiang Xiaoman. The eldest brother would come back soon after toasting her with a few glasses of wine. If she stayed there, it would only make the two of them awkward.
Su Mu leaned close to Jiang Xiaoman's ear and whispered, "There's a food box on the table over there. I've left some food for you. It's all delicious. Don't forget to eat it."
"Sister-in-law, keep these foods for yourself." Su Mu left a lot of delicious food for Jiang Xiaoman, "Save them for when you get hungry later."
Su Mu was afraid that Jiang Xiaoman would feel embarrassed on the first night of her marriage, so if she got hungry in the middle of the night, he would just bear it.
"I'm going out first, my brother will be back soon."
Jiang Xiaoman felt very embarrassed when she heard Su Mu's words, "Mu Mu, you are so nice."
"We are a family now."
"Yeah!" Jiang Xiaoman was very happy. She was so lucky to be a family with Mumu.
After Su Mu finished speaking, he went out to have a feast with Ji Shiyan, Zhou Ziyu, his second brother, and his third brother.
The banquet was extremely luxurious, with whole chickens, whole fish, and a host of delicious food.
When Su Yuanshan went to toast, inevitably some people made some teasing remarks, which made his face blush. But afterwards, no one made things difficult for him, and they just toasted him a few glasses of wine and let him go.
Su Mu couldn't help but burst out laughing. As a mature and steady elder brother, his face turned as red as an apple every time he encountered such things.
Ji Shiyan first poured Su Mu a glass of water and said, "Moisten your throat first." Mu Mu has been laughing all day, so don't let his throat get dry.
"Hey, you're so thoughtful. Whoever marries you in the future will be guaranteed to be happy." Su Mu was so happy today that he couldn't help but tease him.
Ji Shiyan whispered to Su Mu, "I will definitely make my wife happy in the future."
"Then keep up the good work!" Su Mu said casually a word of encouragement, but why did he feel so uncomfortable when he heard him mention his future wife? It was really strange.
"Okay." Ji Shiyan agreed and promised that he would work hard.
"Little sister, eat the chicken leg quickly!" The third brother picked up one of the legs of a crispy roast chicken and gave it to Su Mu.
"Thank you, Third Brother!" Su Mu thanked him sweetly.
"Little sister, eat quickly, or the chicken leg will be snatched away by Zhou Ziyu." Su An said with a smile.
"Don't slander me, I didn't snatch the chicken leg from you!" Zhou Ziyu said.
"That's because I was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and you didn't get it." Su An proudly.
"Humph!"
"Here, this is for you." Su An gave Zhou Ziyu a big wing, "This is very delicious! The meat is very tender." He couldn't let his brother down.
"That's okay." The two of them happily ate a chicken leg and a chicken wing respectively.
