The woman has to be urged to put on her makeup three times to show that good women are hard to find.
After urging her for the second time, Mrs. Zhuang brought out eight-treasure rice with red dates and fried small fish, and asked Xizhi to feed them to Xu Jiang personally.
This is the meal for getting into the sedan chair.
When a daughter gets married, the mother feeds her the food in the sedan chair. The original intention is to remind her not to forget the grace of her mother in raising her.
Xizhi let Xu Jiang sit on her lap, picked up food for her and fed her, but she was thinking about the many years she had been separated from her daughter and had not been able to watch her grow up in person.
Every time I feed him a mouthful, I shed tears.
Her mother had cried enough for her. Xu Jiang comforted her while eating, but in the end, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
It is necessary to cry when eating the sedan chair meal. The more you cry, the closer you become and the more affectionate you become, so no one tries to persuade you.
After finishing the meal, the third round of preparation for the wedding started outside.
It's time for the bride to go out.
Lin Hongchu helped Xizhi out and entered the hall with Master Lin, waiting for the newlyweds to kneel down. The others were busy touching up Xu Jiang's makeup and straightening her clothes, fearing that there was something imperfect.
Song Qiao finally caught Wu Zhi. Everyone cleaned her up and handed her an umbrella, asking her to help the bride out later.
After the wedding was over, the matchmaker presented the letter of marriage. After being reviewed and approved by Master Lin and Xizhi, the bride's official in charge of ceremonies summoned the bride to the house.
Xun Yan was the ceremonial officer. "Please invite the bride out—"
Xu Jiang took a deep breath, and then, surrounded by the female relatives, she slowly walked into the bookstore with a fan covering her face.
"The bride is here!" Cheers came from inside the bookstore.
Hearing the sound, the bride's family members who were blocking the door made way and invited the groom in.
The bookstore cleared away a few idle chairs and set up a hall seat. Master Lin sat in the center, Xizhi sat beside him, and relatives and friends stood on his left and right, inside and outside, waiting for the newlyweds to pay their respects and offer them tea.
The moment Xu Jiang came out of the small door, Xizhi's eyes couldn't help but become wet again. Lin Hongchu, who was standing beside her, held her shoulders with tears in his eyes.
Master Lin is calm and kind. Although he feels reluctant, he feels more joy and blessings.
Xu Jiang was supported by Wu Zhi and walked to the front of the crowd. All the guests stretched their necks to look, wanting to catch a glimpse of the bride's beautiful face. After seeing her, they couldn't stop praising the bride for her beauty and elegance.
Xu Jiang felt embarrassed by the praise and covered herself more tightly with her fan.
The neighbors all laughed. They usually saw that Manager Xu was straightforward and efficient, but they didn't expect that he would feel embarrassed sometimes.
Ever since Lou Yunchun came out from Xu Jiang, his eyes seemed to be glued to her, never moving away for a moment, and his feet walked towards her involuntarily as if they had a new owner.
The matchmaker hurriedly stopped him, and only let him go after Xu Jiang came over.
Xu Jiang first saw a pair of green boots through the bottom of the fan. She moved the fan slightly upwards and saw that the person in front of her was wearing a red dress with a belt around her waist. She couldn't help but smile.
Seeing this, Wu Zhi beside him whispered a reminder, "Stop peeking, watch the road."
The sisters-in-law and aunts behind her couldn't help laughing out loud.
Xu Jiang quickly put down the fan, leaving only her red ears exposed.
When Lou Yunchun saw his beloved coming towards him with her face covered, his eyes were filled with tenderness. When he saw her holding a mandarin duck fan, he couldn't suppress his smile.
Oh, this Shaoqing who is usually serious, is no different from an ordinary man when he gets married and meets his bride. He is so happy that he is silly.
Lou Yunchun couldn't help but reach out to Xu Jiang. The matchmaker quickly put one end of the red silk into his hand and gave the other end to Xu Jiang, who quickly reached out and held it.
The matchmaker sang with a smile: "A red silk thread tied at both ends, the bride and groom will be together for a hundred years."
Then he winked at Lou Yunchun, who gently tugged at the red silk, signaling Xu Jiangchao to go forward and pay her respects to her parents.
Xu Jiang also talked back and said, "I know."
The two of them couldn't help but curl their lips.
The matchmaker added: "The newlyweds pay their respects to their parents, and may they enjoy a long and blessed life."
Xu Jiang and Lou Yunchun stepped forward together and stood in front of Master Lin and Xizhi. Aunt Lin and Aunt Cao took out two cushions and placed them in front.
Seeing the two of them coming to the hall, the matchmaker stepped aside and let Xun Yan be the master of ceremonies.
Xun Yan shouted: "Li——"
Everyone fell silent, and the newlyweds bowed to Master Lin and Xi Zhi respectively.
Xun Yan shouted again: "Kneel——"
The two of them then walked to the mat and knelt down.
"bye--"
The two of them bowed to the two elders.
"Bye again—"
The two bowed again.
"prosper--"
The two stood up. When Xu Jiang stood up, she stepped on the hem of her skirt and was about to kneel down again. Lou Yunchun quickly reached out and helped her up.
Everyone chuckled again.
Xun Yan also laughed, and after the two of them stood still, he shouted, "Kneel again—"
The two men knelt again.
"Kowtow—"
Xu Jiang handed the fan to Wu Zhi, and together with Lou Yunchun, they kowtowed to the two elders.
When she bowed and stood up to look at Xizhi, Xizhi was already in tears.
Mother. She opened her mouth and called out silently.
Xizhi nodded and smiled at her with tears in her eyes.
Xu Jiang couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, and then she smiled back at her.
Seeing this, Lou Yunchun gently pulled the red silk in his hand. Xu Jiang understood, and then the two of them bowed to Xizhi in addition to the prescribed etiquette.
Xun Yan was slightly startled, then looked at Master Lin. Master Lin nodded at him, and he breathed a sigh of relief. After the two of them finished their greetings, he called out, "Newcomers, serve tea—"
Mrs. Zhuang and Mrs. Qin brought tea and walked to the two newlyweds.
"The groom offers tea."
Lou Yunchun first offered the tea to Master Lin, "Foster father, please have some tea."
Master Lin took it and drank it.
Then he offered it to Xizhi, "Mother, please have some tea."
Xizhi took it and drank it with a smile.
After the groom served tea, it was the bride's turn. Xu Jiang also served tea to Master Lin first and then to Xi Zhi.
