Just after the sound of noon, two young men dressed in red and hanging green, with the sound of brass gongs, opened the way in front. Behind them, Sun Shaozong rode a tall horse, dressed in a bright yellow bullfighting suit, and looked even more majestic and heroic!
Looking at the back, there was a luxurious wedding sedan carried by eight people, carved with nine phoenixes chirping on top. On the fiery red sedan robe, there were four eternal embroidered balls hanging together and countless tassel-colored beads adorned below
If they looked at the composition of this team alone, people might think that Sun Shaozong was getting married. But in fact, in these years, the groom never showed up in front of his mother's family before the bride entered.
It was said that in the early years, the Great Zhou Dynasty didnt follow such rules either. Instead, as in the previous dynasty, the groom personally went to the bride's house to marry, and he was also required to undergo poetry and archery tests.
But as the idea of male superiority and female inferiority gradually escalated, the groom gradually withdrew from the second line of the wedding procession and only needed to comfortably wait at home for the bride to come.
Of course, according to Sun Shaozong's speculation, in addition to the factors of male superiority and female inferiority, during the early days of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the imbalance in the proportion of males and females was caused by years of war, which might also be an important driving force behind this change.
After all, rare things were precious!
He heard that it was easy for men to marry a wife that year. If they were willing to accept a wife, it would be eye-catching, and it was from then on that it became popular to take over for their deceased brothers.
Since Sun Shaozu was unable to appear, Sun Shaozong, his younger brother, naturally became the main force in welcoming the bride. After riding a horse and touring around the cities, he finally arrived at the Rongguo Mansion after showcasing the city's storms.
Just outside the black-painted gate, a colorful archway was erected early, and countless red hydrangeas and red lanterns hung on the wall. But according to Sun Shaozong's understanding, it seemed that this was all the money from Rongguo's official account, while Jia She was like an iron rooster.
Because the groom didnt appear, there was naturally no gate-crashing rule.
Therefore, as soon as Sun Shaozong got off his horse, his brothers and nephews, including Jia Lian, Xue Pan, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, and others, welcomed him with a smile on their faces.
The others were fine, but Xue Pan burst into laughter while feeling quite aggrieved and said, "My Second Brother came back from Jinmen Mansion and came for a visit. This action was really done improperly. We must supplement him with a feast today.
Not only Jiefeng wine, but I will also add the wedding wine today.
While Sun Shaozong was chatting and laughing with everyone, he couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled. Even Xue Pan, who was not considered a serious relative, came to welcome the guests. But where did Jia Baoyu go?
As he walked in hand with Jia Lian, he quietly asked, and Jia Lian showed some embarrassment.
It turned out that after killing Mingyan that day, Lin Daiyu fell ill and her body temperature fluctuated for two or three days. Even now, she still hasn't seen any improvement in a daze.
In the past few days, Jia Baoyu has been taking care of her day and night, refusing to leave even if necessary.
In the morning, Jia Lian called out to him twice but was impatiently rebuked by him.
Upon hearing Jia Lian's words, Sun Shaozong felt a bit speechless.
Should he say that Jia Baoyu was infatuated or ruthless?
Let's say he was ruthless. He has been waiting at his sweetheart's window for several days, and it was not ruthless at all.
But Jia Yingchun was also a sister who grew up with him when he was young. She was about to get married, but his Younger Brother refused to show his face, which made people feel cold.
Not to mention how Sun Shaozong received the hospitality of Jia Lian and others when he was welcomed into the living room like a starry moon.
At the same time, Jia Yingchun's boudoir was being treated, but someone was also feeling embarrassed for Jia Baoyu.
Second Lady, these were all prepared by him in advance. He originally intended to hand them over to you personally, but now
Xiren placed several rare treasures with dazzling colors on the round table one by one.
Rubbing her hands, she said, "You should know that whenever he experiences hysteria, no one can persuade him. He never intended to treat you so negligently.
Okay, okay, its fine for you to just explain a few sentences.
Wang Xifeng interrupted her with a smile and poked her head with a fan, jokingly saying, "Look at you, you're struggling and panicking. If Brother Bao doesnt want you in the future and wont favor you, I'll poke your spine first.
Second Madam~
Xiren twisted her body in disbelief, and there was a burst of laughter all around.
But Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but interrupt, "I'm afraid that there is something else
Before she could finish speaking, Xue Baochai quickly took the lead and pretended to be angry. "Look at you! It's fine normally, but now on the day when Second Sister is celebrating, why do you still only focus on talking about Brother Bao?
As she spoke, she took Li Wan's arm and smiled. "First Sister-in-Law is the most considerate. She helps Second Sister with her busy schedule, unlike Second Sister-in-Law, who always teases people.
Ouch, hello~
Wang Xifeng let out an exaggerated cry and waved the fan in a coquettish tone, saying, "Look at this scumbag. I'm hoping my Sister-in-law can also help you with finding one so that you can quickly marry your sweetheart.
You... You're talking nonsense again.
Even though Xue Baochai blushed, she threw herself forward with bravado, and the sisters laughed again.
Only Li Wan was still there, dedicated to helping Jia Yingchun with her makeup.
Seeing that the last eyebrow could be traced, she took a half step back and carefully looked at it, then exclaimed, "My Sister indeed has a good foundation. Youve always worn a simple and clean outfit and don't show much. Now that youre dressed up, you really have a bit of the luxury of being a housewife.
Don't make fun of me, Sister-in-Law.
Jia Yingchun shyly twisted her handkerchief like a twisted fried doughnut.
Two days ago, Siqi was startled, which scared her to death. Fortunately, in the end, the situation was calm and didnt affect her. Otherwise, she wouldnt know what to do.
What's up?
Feeling scared, Li Wan stepped forward and took her hand, saying with a smile, "Isn't it a bit scary? In fact, that's how couples live their lives.
Because she thought she cared about Sun Shaozu's age, she explained again, "I heard that although the groom is getting older, his body and bones are very healthy. A woman needs to find someone with a strong body and bones when finding a husband, so she can count on him in the future.
When she used to say these things, there was always a lot of resentment, but now she couldn't help but think of something. Her face turned red and her tight and sturdy thighs were tightly intertwined in one place.
Jia Yingchun, after all, lacked experience and didnt see anything wrong with her. She only thought that she was thinking of her husband, who had passed away at an early age, and suddenly became silent.
She felt a bit embarrassed and wanted to comfort Li Wan, but for a moment, she didn't know how to comfort her.
Faced with a dilemma, Qiu Tong suddenly lifted the door curtain and twisted her snake-like waist to enter. Upon seeing this pitied Madam and Young Lady, she quickly bowed and greeted them one by one.
Okay.
Before she could greet everyone, Wang Xifeng quickly said again, "Did the Old Lady come to urge again?
Exactly.
Qiu Tong said in a crisp voice, "Madam, it's getting late. Please leave early, Lady.
Before she could finish speaking, Li Wan reached out and pinched Jia Yingchun's buttocks. Jia Yingchun let out a painful cry, which reminded her of her previous confession and quickly held her face in a mournful expression.
Wang Xifeng then swung the fan and ordered, "Go back and report. Just say that your Second Sister can't bear to part with her family. Let us try to persuade her again.
Qiu Tong agreed and twisted her snake-like waist out of the door again.
Once she was gone, Wang Xifeng turned around and joked to Yingchun, "Second Sister, don't worry, and take care of those tears. If you can't cry when you get on the sedan chair, it will be tough
The Sisters in the room laughed again.
Li Wan thrust into her waist and pretended to be angry and scolded, "Why are you laughing? You must have such a day sooner or later.
As she spoke, she spread out her palm again and smiled. "My Second Sister usually doesn't show her body figure. Today, after I pinched, I realized that you indeed have a good body for bearing children. No wonder General Sun insisted on marrying you.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng pretended to come and pinch it, which made Yingchun super embarrassed.
So, Qiu Tong invited her three times according to the rules, and then Jia Yingchun, surrounded by everyone, left the small courtyard in the western chamber.
Seeing a group of unmarried women outside the gate, along with the widowed Li Wan, they had to stop.
Wang Xifeng took Jia Yingchun's arm and whispered, "Good Sister, don't forget the dowry I gave you.
