Chapter 102 The pomp
What really became lively in the Hong family’s old house was around ten o’clock, because the old neighbors in Furu arrived.
To pick up the big guy, Hong Yanzheng and Xu Manli had breakfast and rushed back to Furu. When the bus Hong Yanwu made an appointment arrived at 8:30, the two of them rushed to get together and informed each other from door to door.
Of course, people are particularly active in this kind of thing, and Shui Qing from the West Courtyard is also helping to greet him.
But the five fingers are not together. The people are unorganized and undisciplined. When they encounter big scenes, they are most likely to get anxious. This is a family-leading family, so how can they not be confused?
Sometimes the child was going to pee, sometimes the adult forgot to receive the gift, sometimes someone came out wearing a hull vest, turned around and went back to wear a shirt, and sometimes someone remembered that there was still hot water sitting on the gas stove, so he hurried back and turned off the fire.
It was like a sprinkling of salt noodles in a oil pan, and it suddenly started to churn. It was so anxious that it was so messy that it was so messy that it was endless. It was getting on and off the car and going back and forth.
Fortunately, there was a wedding cigarette and a wedding candy, so the driver was not annoyed. It was almost nine o'clock. Finally, all the staff gathered, the car started, and drove to the wedding banquet.
There are many housewives in the West Courtyard, whose daily activities are limited and their life content is extremely monotonous. The collective activities they have participated in in this life are probably the "revolutionary activities" in the "movement". They have never experienced the feeling of traveling together with people they are familiar with.
So although it is just an ordinary "40" bus, and the distance is close and there are familiar street scenes along the way, for them, the taste is just like a visiting foreign head of state taking a "concierge car".
The one who was joking happily along the way.
Some people praised the Hong family for being thorough and thorough, making Hong Yan's face hot. Some people longed to see the true appearance of the Hong family's old house and had no way to inquire with Xu Manli. Some people mentioned the old things again and recalled the story of their past riding donkeys, which made everyone laugh.
In short, the car stopped for a moment. These aunts and sisters showed unprecedented excitement and joy. They looked a little happier than the owner.
But when I really arrived at the scene, I was mute and was completely mute again. It was not for anything else, but because of the Hong family's temperament, the scene was too big.
It’s okay to say outside the courtyard gate, except for the “double happy gate” on both sides of the gate, it seems a little bigger than the ones posted by other families. It’s of course that the two intellectuals guarded the door and went inside to let the guests.
But as soon as I entered the courtyard, it started to be different. There was a "color" on the front wall of the screen wall, and five big red hydrangeas hung straight on the four brick-carved characters "Fu Lu Shou Xi", which was the first to be successful.
It was even more amazing to follow it and the two ridges from the screen wall to the hanging flower door were all decorated with knives and long silk hanging on them.
The breeze comes and floats, it is so popular and beautiful.
The final shock came from the fact that at least ten intellectuals stood at the door, and I wouldn’t mention the records of receiving gifts in turn. The most important thing is that as soon as I stepped into this door, the “red” became full of dazzling and dazzling eyes.
All the eaves of the corridors are actually full of colorful silk, and all the bright pillars are wrapped in red silk, and they are accompanied by the veranda on both sides of the "Two Gates", which are amazingly long and tea tables. The neatly thirty "official seats" in the courtyard are all covered with red tablecloths.
Just this is so popular and so beautiful, how can these flat-headed people not be surprised on the spot? That is the grand scene that they can't even dream of.
For a moment, I was a little helpless. I looked at each other and couldn't help but spit. Everyone was a little embarrassed when they were so thin that they felt embarrassed.
Fortunately, Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin came over with Li Fu in time. Their energetic appearance and decent clothes could not be concealed, and their enthusiasm was expressed with heart.
Hong Lucheng respectfully bowed to the male guests and said "appreciating the face", "promoting love", "giving face", and Wang Yunlin greeted the female guests warmly and said thank you for "making trouble for everyone".
They were still so humble and kind, without any pride, and were so proud of their wealth. This relieved everyone's discomfort and everyone began to express their joy.
However, congratulations are congratulations, and surprise cannot be eliminated. Praise is inevitable.
Mr. Bian couldn't help but say, "Old Hong, your scene is amazing. I have only heard of rich people in the past, but I have never seen them. This time I opened my eyes."
Qiuzi's mother also said, "Yunlin, your family's show is like a dream. How much does it cost? We can't afford to sell it even if we don't want to do it?"
But unexpectedly, Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin really said that they claimed that they had been involved in the government's return of private houses.
They actually hired a seat for their work. They were all friends who came to help and had a large area, so they seemed generous and decent.
If you want to say something different from others, you will be made into a color and hang some red silk. If you use these things alone, you should consider giving them to Hong Yanwu and Hong Yanru in the future, which will be much more economical.
After saying this, the old neighbors couldn't help but nodded frequently, and the psychological pressure was relieved a lot. So everyone believed it wrongly and started to laugh. There were also a few self-righteous comments from some people.
But after we finished speaking politely, we were settled in turn. After everyone let the old couple of Hong family go to work, someone who understands them can see a new way out.
Because nothing else, the wedding candy on the plate is either gold or silver, and chocolate accounts for half of it. When the cigarette scattered on the plate is taken over, it turns out to be peony. Wait until the teapot is served, and the taste of the tea is so fragrant.
God knows how much these things cost. As the saying goes, you can know the details. The wine used for the banquet at the back is still bad.
So soon, the neighbors' minds turned around. The words just now were just polite and modest.
Shocking, amazement, and discussion inevitably spread. This is the first time these ordinary people have realized the true meaning of wealthy families.
Different is different. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, which is the truth.
In fact, to be honest, the Hong family is really frugal and very low-key. Because not only do they not set up wedding booths, they also use "soft color".
Li Fu also asked Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin about this matter. At that time, the old man said excitedly, "I really didn't expect that Xiao Wu could find someone who can build a shed and beauties. It would be a pity if we could get it, and we might not be able to meet again in the future. Why don't we spend more money? It would be a big deal to build a flat shed and not spend a few more money."
Unexpectedly, the old couple finally said, "Old Li, this is not a matter of spending some money. Nowadays, those materials are not easy to find. The craftsmen are all old. They have to thrust up the things, which makes the merchandisers so busy, and they are prone to fire. It is also troublesome to stay up late to watch. Moreover, they are all the priorities of the past. Now that we really make this too tempting to cause trouble, we should not make any suggestions or make trouble. So, we don't even need to "hard color" and focus on saving trouble.
As a result, this matter was not done, which made Li Fu feel quite regretful.
Otherwise, if the courtyard is equipped with railings, patios, horn clouds, glass windows, hanging screens, flower walls, and shed pillars. In addition, the "hard color" of "flower archway" is set in front of the second door, and the courtyard is equipped with a "red hall" auditorium and wedding room.
That makes people unable to turn their eyes even more, and they have to think that they are at the scene of making a movie.
But even this is still just ordinary.
Because when Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin got married, they actually built a three-story building like a classical palace in this courtyard.
The entire shed is built on the roof of the Hong family's second courtyard, which is equivalent to connecting the original building into two more floors of pavilions.
Not only are there wooden ladders on both sides of the pavilion, but they are connected to the corridor in front and all sides, making it very convenient to move up and down. In addition, carved beams and painted buildings are beautiful, with reasonable space distinction and complete functions.
The corridor is surrounded by colorful carved blocks and red painted bright columns, with gold-shaped couplets hanging, and partitioned doors and windows are installed at the back. Several steam lamps of hydrocarbon stone are hung under each side of the corridor for night lighting.
There are also large fan-shaped plaques hanging at the top of each hall, like the North Building, which is written as a banquet hall to entertain relatives and friends for meals.
The South Tower is the stage of "Qiankun Jiaotai", which can sing Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, "octagonal drums", performing tricks, acrobatics and other "journeys". Guests only need to sit under the corridor of the North Tower and the yard downstairs to watch the play.
The "Harmony of Qin and Se" in the West Building and the "Sound of Xiao Guifeng" in the East Building are all set as tea seats for guests to eat snacks, drink tea, and play cards. The Sijiaojiao Towers are each a kitchen, tea stove, washroom, and cloakroom storage.
This not only makes full use of all the space, but also has an additional benefit.
Since the effective area in the courtyard was not occupied by the shed, in addition to giving up the corridor leading to the auditorium and the wedding room, both sides were also equipped with wooden platforms high on the stone platform. There was another official seat on the platform to serve as a ceremonial seat.
Forty-eight sounding instruments such as eight-sided or sixteen-sided drums when the sedan chair is launched, that is, they are arranged in two opposite rows under the viewing platform to blow.
When the Hong family married Wang Yunlin back. After entering the door, they passed through the middle of the sound of drums and music from the middle of the sound of drums and music, and carried into the main hall. The guests on both sides of the wooden terraces and above the stairs could also clearly see the entrance of the wedding sedan, entering the courtyard, and crossing the charcoal basin to smoke evil.
This is already a bit close to the style of a Western-style church wedding. It not only contains the unique liveliness of our Chinese people, but also has a bit of a steady sense of ceremony.
Therefore, this is the true style of the gentry, gentry, business and wealthy family. It can be called the true colorful and colorful atmosphere. It is worthy of the title of "one of the eight major houses" of the Hong family.
This must be a sensible person like Li Fu to know how much difference is today and the past?
