Chapter 1374 Four Jiao
The Hong family's family's family trip team finally arrived on the street where the Governor's Office was located. After all, it was an extraordinary time. Even on the wedding day, this street was still on high alert, and soldiers were on both sides.
Turning to this street, it was still a distance from the Governor's Mansion. Hong Zhengduo's heart sank. He actually saw that there was a large sedan chair outside the Governor's Mansion. It seemed that the main figures who sent the bride had already entered the mansion. Most of the people who sent the bride were still outside the mansion. According to the customs of the northwest, the Governor's Mansion sent tea and snacks to comfort the bride.
Hong Zhengduo opened his eyes wide, stood still for a while, and looked at Qi Hong. He looked surprised when he saw Qi Hong, obviously very surprised by the scene in front of him.
The gongs and drums here were still coming to the front of the mansion. When he heard the movement there, someone immediately came out of the mansion to greet him. Naturally, the leader was Pei Ji.
Chu Huan had no parents and brothers, nor did he have tribe members around him. Only Pei Ji, the righteous brother who was moved to the table. In addition, he was an official from the Ministry of Rites headed by Fan Xuan.
Fan Xuan mainly led officials from the Ministry of Rites to receive guests in the Governor's Office, while Pei Ji had to wait for the bride-sending team to arrive and go out to greet him.
The sedan chair in front had already been raised and moved to a position. Hong Zhengduo was shocked, but when he saw Pei Ji walking over in gorgeous clothes, he barely smiled and treated him with a double rebellion, Hong Zhengduo was not willing to ask at this time. The sedan chair stopped in front of the mansion. Everything was in accordance with the customs of the northwest. With the sound of gongs and drums, the hives gave Su Niang from the sedan and went to the main hall.
In fact, compared with the customs in the northwest, the customs in the northwest are much simpler and not very complicated. According to the rules, after the bride arrived, she would go to the main hall to worship Tiandi and the groom to worship Tiandi and respect her parents. However, this time the marriage was unusual. Chu Huan married several brides at one time, so naturally he could not worship them again and again. According to the procedures agreed in advance, wait until several brides arrive together and worship Tiandi at the same time.
So Su Niang could only go to the main hall first, surrounded by people, and wait for all the brides to arrive.
The main figures of Hong Zhengduo and other relatives who were greeted by the wedding were welcomed to the side hall next to them. Let’s look at the tea first. When Hong Zhengduo entered the side hall, he heard laughter and laughter inside. Someone had already arrived inside. As soon as he entered the door, a short and fat middle-aged man came forward with a smile and bowed: “Brother Zhengduo, your speed is too slow. I have been waiting here for a long time.”
Hong Zhengduo naturally recognized this person. This is Fu Hai, the eldest son of Fu Yusheng, the head of the Fu family. He is about a few years apart from his age. He has a good relationship on weekdays. When he saw Fu Hai, his heart sank. He thought to himself that the Fu family had sent him to his kiss, but who did the Fu family send him to?
He remembered that among the direct descendants of the Fu family, there were not many women who had not been married. They could barely be considered to be of the age of the Chu family, and they happened to be Fu Hai's daughter, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old. He thought to himself that the Fu family looked at the other families and sent their young daughter over.
Seeing Hong Zhengduo's face full of surprise, Fu Hai couldn't help but feel a little proud in his eyes. He pulled Hong Zhengduo over and sat down, and looked concerned: "Brother Zhengduo, those two families have not come yet, I'm afraid they will encounter trouble on the way to send off the bride. There is still a while for the church to go. You are tired along the way, are you here? Come, have tea first...!"
Hong Zhengduo finally recovered and couldn't help but say, "Fu Hai, you...what are you doing? What's the matter with this... this wedding has something to do with your Fu family?"
Fu Hai tidied up his clothes and said, "Brother Zhengduo, I can't understand what you said. What has something to do with our Fu family? Our Fu family is the in-laws of the Governor. Today we are sending the bride here, so why doesn't it matter?"
"Bride?" The Hong family took great pains to the end, but in the end it was still a chess move. Hong Zhengduo was full of anger at this moment, "You bride of the Fu family? What nonsense? Where did the bride of your Fu family come from?"
"Hong Zhengduo, be polite." Fu Hai was not easy to mess with, and leaned on the chair. "If you don't believe it, go to the lobby to take a look. Our girl from the Fu family is now waiting for the church in the lobby."
"What the hell is it?" Hong Zhengduo was confused now, "Fu Hai, you... have you sent your daughter here?"
Fu Hai gave Hong Zhengduo a blank look and shook his head and said, "The little girl is at home, and it's not time for her marriage. It's my sister who is married."
"Sister?" Hong Zhengduo immediately smiled when he heard this, "What are you talking nonsense? Your two sisters are already married, so where can I marry? Could it be that some sister has been divorced by her husband's family? So...!"
"Bang!"
With a sound, Fu Hai's fist had already hit the table, and he raised his hand to point at Hong Zhengduo and cursed: "Mysterious person, please try another word? Damn, dogs can't spit out ivory. Just say something like a bastard, just urinate and wash yourself."
Hong Zhengduo was already full of anger. As soon as Fu Hai said these two sentences, he immediately detonated the explosive barrel, grabbed a teacup on the table, and smashed it at Fu Hai without hesitation.
Fu Hai was also agile and dodged. The teacup hit the wall, splitting apart. Fu Hai said angrily: "You bastard, you dare to do something, and you will beat this uncultured thing to death..." Although he was short and fat, his skills looked really good. He rushed over, jumped up, and kicked Hong Zhengduo with a flying leg.
Although Hong Zhengduo dodged, he was still kicked to the waist by him and took a few steps back. Several people behind him immediately followed and supported him. Hong Zhengduo rolled up his sleeves and scolded: "Everything is for me. If I don't beat this bastard to death today, I will not be named Hong..." In the side hall, there was a moment of noisyness and the two sides were about to make trouble. Fan Xuan had already rushed over and raised his hand: "Everyone, don't do it. Today is the day for the Governor General. If this is unhappy, the Governor General General will be furious, but none of them can get a good one."
Fan Xuan said that both sides woke up. This was the Governor's Office, and it was a happy day. If this fight really started and spread it, it would be a joke.
Both sides were facing each other coldly and sat down. Hong Zhengduo did not look at Fu Hai, and Fu Hai did not look at Hong Zhengduo.
Not long after waiting, he heard footsteps coming from outside. Qian Longshan, who had a tiger back and a bear waist, stepped in. Seeing that there were many people sitting in the side hall, but they were deserted, Qian Longshan looked coldly, found a seat, and sat down. He first looked at Hong Zhengduo, and his eyes were angry. Then he saw Fu Hai, frowned, and then asked, "Is that bastard who has been ill for eight lifetimes, and herding cattle on the street?"
No one paid attention to it.
Qian Longshan smiled coldly and said, "Today is a happy day. I won't cause trouble. When I look back and find out who is herding cattle on the street, I will definitely want him to look good..."
"Don't slap me here." Hong Zhengduo was holding his stomach up and said angrily: "Who are you pursuing?"
"Whoever grazed cattle on the street will be used to attack me." Qian Longshan looked bad, "Hong Zhengduo, why are you so sensitive? To be honest, is your Hong family making a bad idea for herding cattle on the street?"
Fu Hai gloated and fanned the flames, "Old Qian, herding cattle on the street? What's the cause? Could it be that you were stopped by the cows on the road? This is awesome. Isn't this despicable method deliberately asking your Qian family to be unlucky?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Qian Longshan was in a bad mood and glared at Fu Hai, "Where did you pop out again?"
Fu Hai was about to take off, an official had already rushed over and said, "Several, the Su family's team has arrived, and it is about to be a church. Please hurry up and go to the lobby!"
When I heard that the team had arrived, the few people had no time to argue, so they hurriedly packed up and quickly headed to the main hall.
In the main hall, there were naturally a decoration of lights and the ancestral tablets had been set up. The main hall had all prepared for the worship. Hong Zhengduo and others arrived outside the lobby. The officials of the Ministry of Rites were arranged by people. In the main hall, the three brides were already waiting with red turbans. Many people saw the three brides in the house, and they heard that the brides of the Su family had just been sent, and they were all a little strange. They thought to themselves that the Governor had not said that they wanted to marry the three ladies before, but suddenly they became four people.
The lovers of the Su family finally surrounded Linlang and entered the Governor's Mansion. Like the first three brides, they stepped over the pallet and entered the main hall. Pei Ji was already arranged to sit in the main seat. Next to it was the head of the Six Ministry Department. Du Fugong was the head of the New Salt Bureau and also sat in the hall. There were five cushions in the main hall, one in front and four behind, and the one in front was Chu Huan's position, and behind were the cushions for the four brides to worship.
When Linlang entered the main hall, the four brides, with the support of Xi Po, walked to the cushion in order, from left to right, namely Su Niang, Linlang, Daier, and the last one wearing a gorgeous phoenix crown and red veil covering their faces. People only knew that it was the bride sent by the Fu family, but people didn't know who the bride was for a while.
After all, Chu Huan entered the hall surrounded by a group of people, wearing a glamorous groom's uniform and a unique hat of the groom. Fan Xuan personally performed the etiquette and stood beside him. Chu Huan saw the four beauties lined up in line and was filled with emotion. According to the rules, he walked forward to the cushion. The four brides followed behind him. At Fan Xuan's order, Chu Huan took the lead in kneeling down. Four girls behind him were also kneeling down with the help of his mother.
One worships the world and the other worships the high hall. The so-called high hall can only be Pei Ji, and the couple finally worships each other. Chu Huan and the four wives worship each other one by one. According to the rules of the northwest, if they take concubines and marry again, later people will come to worship tea first. Today, Sijiao will be welcomed, but this rule cannot be broken. The four brides first offered tea to Pei Ji, and then Linlang and the other three had to worship tea to Su Niang, followed by Daier and the bride of the Fu family to worship tea to Linlang. In the end, the bride of the Fu family also had to worship tea to Daier.
