The firecrackers were lit in an instant.
“Crackle!” “Boom boom boom!” “Beep beep!” “Drip drip drip!”
Various suonas, gongs, drums and flutes played cheerful music.
Many relatives, friends, and officials who came to congratulate also went out one after another. The senior officials rode in carriages and sedan chairs, while the junior officials walked, heading towards Qingtai Street.
At this moment, Qingtai Street has been closed. Zhao Jun compensated each household with a certain amount of red envelopes, and Xiangdinglou prepared a sumptuous meal.
Most officials were welcomed into Xiangdinglou for dinner.
Zhao Jun was still riding on his horse, bringing his bride back to his courtyard.
Although the yard is small, it feels like home.
After getting off the sedan chair, the musicians and servants stood outside the sedan chair and sang poems to stop it.
The maid beside Cao Miaoxin distributed the red envelopes.
Then many children from the surrounding neighborhood came over and clamored for red envelopes.
The maid also immediately threw out a large number of copper coins.
This was called "blocking the door to bring joy", "scattering beans" and "seeking good luck" at the time.
After finally getting off the sedan chair, Zhao Jun went up and held Cao Miaoxin's hand. Cao Miaoxin's cheeks flushed instantly.
After all, people in the Song Dynasty did not wear big red headscarves when getting married, so Cao Miaoxin was particularly shy at the time.
However, feeling Zhao Jun's warm hand, she soon snuggled up to him unconsciously.
Two people entered the house.
This process is called entering the hall, and bowing to the parents of both parties is called paying homage to the hall.
At this moment, Wang Shouzhong shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived!"
As Ulala and a group of imperial guards came and separated the crowd of people watching the excitement, a wide and tall carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Zhao's mansion.
Cao Cong, Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and other high-ranking officials hurried to greet him.
Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao got out of the carriage, looked around, and said with a smile: "I am not too late."
"Just in time."
Cao Cong smiled and said, "We are about to get married."
"Hurry up, hurry up."
Zhao Zhen pulled Empress Cao and urged her into the house.
A moment later, Zhao Zhen, Empress Cao, and Madam Shen, the mother of Cao Cong and Cao Miaoxin, sat down on their left and right.
no way.
Zhao Zhen was an ancestor of Zhao Jun.
Since Cao Miaoxin's father Cao Wei died early, his uncle had to take his place.
It was getting dark.
The officiant said loudly: "The bride and groom enter the hall!"
Zhao Jun pulled Cao Miaoxin into the hall.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
The ceremonial officer shouted.
The two of them knelt outside the hall.
"Bow to your parents twice!"
The two men kowtowed to Zhao Zhen, Cao Cong and others.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
The two men bowed to each other.
"Send her to the bridal chamber!"
After the last shout, the two were escorted into the bedroom.
The bedroom was naturally also rearranged.
There were female officials of etiquette who performed the ceremonies of "spreading the tent" and "tying the bun" for them.
Then Cao Miaoxin sat in the bedroom. After Zhao Jun apologized to him, he went out to entertain the guests.
During this process, Cao Miaoxin was accompanied by female officials and maids.
Zhao Jun was going to toast Zhao Zhen and the others.
At the banquet, Zhao Zhen was very happy. He waved his hand and gave Zhao Jun some time to get married. The whole wedding was successfully concluded.
