Chapter 648: Green Fake 9th Rank Official Uniform
In the blink of an eye, it was October, and there were still ten days before Sun Shan’s wedding. The old house of the Sun family was busy and the whole yard was bustling.
Sun Bomin, Su, and Huang were busy all the time, fixing things here, mending things there, and checking if there was anything missing and whether everything needed for the wedding day was complete.
The Huang family members also made several new sets of clothes. They had to wear them in a festive and appropriate manner so as not to be disrespectful to their relatives and friends.
On the contrary, Sun, the person involved, does not have to do anything. He eats when he is ready to eat, drinks when he is ready to drink, and sleeps when he is ready to sleep. All he does is read books and sleep.
The people who were going to the city to pick up the bride had already been selected. They were Sun Dingnan, who led several aunts from the Sun family, and ten men. They went to the city first to pick up Yun Jie'er's wedding party and take them to Hong Xiucai's house.
Yun Jie'er married again from Hong Xiucai's family.
Sun Shan only needs to walk out of Sunjia Village, go to Hong’s house and bring Yun Jie’er in.
The village chief gave repeated instructions, and he didn't know how many times he had given them: "Nan'er, when you go to pick up the bride, you must pay attention to the rules. If you don't understand anything, ask Aunt Chunlan. The He family is a wealthy family and they are very particular about rules. We can't let outsiders think that our Sunjia Village has no rules. We can't lose face for Shanzi."
Sun Dingnan and his gang quickly said yes. If they didn't say yes, the village chief would definitely catch them and scold them again.
The village chief looked at the sky. It was getting light, so it was time to set off.
Then he turned to Sun Shan and said, "Ashan, do you have any other instructions? If you have any, please tell me quickly. They are about to set off."
Sun Shan said everything he could say. There was really nothing else to say. All he could say could be reduced to one sentence: "Brother Nan, thank you for your hard work."
Sun Dingnan and others first arrived in the city and stayed temporarily at Sun's house. Then, when the time was right, they brought the wedding procession back.
After all, Sun Dingnan had traveled far with Sun Shan before and had seen a lot, so he said calmly, "Ashan, you're welcome. Let's go."
The village chief and Sun Bomin were worried about the wedding procession, so they sent them to the Zeng Family Escort Agency in Huangyang County and let them set off with the Zeng Family Escort Agents.
Of course, they will bring a lot of local specialties with them when they go to Luofu City this time. Anyway, the village chief and Sun Boming will not let them go empty-handed.
After seeing off the bride-picking party, Huang called Sun Shan in and said with a smile, "Shanzi, come here and take a look at the groom's suit. If it doesn't fit, there's still time to modify it."
Huang then said to Aunt Zhang, who was the best at needlework in the village, "My niece, please help me find out what's wrong. You are the best needleworker in the village."
Aunt Zhang waved her hands and said with a smile, "Madam, don't worry, I will make the groom's suit fit perfectly. The scholar in our village is a handsome man with great talent. He will look the best in this suit."
Sun Shan didn't know how many times he was asked to put on his groom's suit and let Aunt Zhang review it.
Aunt Zhang looked at it again and again, and finally let Sun Shan go after she was sure that there was no need to change it.
Sun Shan breathed a sigh of relief. He took it off and put it on again, and changed it over and over again, but he didn't feel that there was anything that needed to be changed.
The "Da Qian Yu Fu Zhi" stipulates that when ordinary people get married, they cannot wear random clothes and are not allowed to use yellow, because yellow is a color exclusively used by the royal family and they must not violate the rules.
When a commoner man marries his wife, it is commonly known as "Xiao Dengke". He can wear a fake ninth-rank official uniform, a turquoise ninth-rank official uniform with a futou.
The bride wore a phoenix coronet and a red bridal veil on her head, a red flowered robe on the outside, a red skirt, red pants, and red satin embroidered shoes on the bottom, all in red.
But you can also wear a bride/groom suit that suits your status, such as a student or a juren, you can wear a suit that represents your status.
So Sun Shan could choose to wear the fake green ninth-rank official uniform, or he could choose to wear the formal dress of a juren.
After much thought, Sun Shan still couldn't accept wearing a green wedding dress, so he chose to wear a blue juren dress. After getting the dress, Sun Shan took Gui Ge'er to the orchard and flower garden for a stroll.
When we arrived at the orchard, we saw Aunt Su and her eldest daughter and son-in-law catching birds.
The oranges in the orchard are growing vigorously, attracting many birds to come and peck at their food.
Aunt Su and her family had to patrol from time to time, catching or driving away the birds, so that more fruits could grow and mature.
When Aunt Su saw Sun Shan, she ran over and asked, "Ashan, why are you here in the orchard? Is there anything wrong?"
Since Sun Shan passed the imperial examination, Aunt Su and her family moved to the back mountain of Sunjia Village and became "workers" possessed by the Sun family.
Looking at Aunt Su who was a little frightened and panicked.
Sun Shan smiled and comforted her, "Aunt, it's okay. I'll come over to take a walk and have a look. You go about your business, don't bother with me."
At this time, the eldest sister and her husband who was blind in one eye and lame in one leg also came over and hurried to greet Sun Shan.
When Aunt Su and her family came to work, they were actually envied and hated by many villagers in Sunjia Village.
The villagers thought that they should invite local people instead of outsiders, but because of the reduction of land tax, they dared not say it openly and could only say it indirectly.
Sun Shan had no idea whether this was happening, so he adopted the strategy of ignoring it and doing things his own way, refusing to be influenced by Sunjia Village.
Sun Shan looked at Second Aunt Su. Her complexion had improved a lot in the past two years. As for his eldest sister, cousin, and eldest brother-in-law, everything was normal.
Sun Shan took a look at the adobe house where Aunt Su and her family lived. It could be said to be very ordinary, but it was better than the one in Hulingshan Village.
Smiling, he asked, "Aunt, where are your sister and brother? Why can't I see them?"
The so-called younger sister and younger brother were the eldest sister’s children. Sun Shan forgot their names, so he called them younger brother and younger sister.
Second Aunt Su smiled and said, "They are both with Da Gen in the flower garden. Recently, some flowers have insects, so they went to catch them."
In addition to Aunt Su's family who worked as long-term workers in the Sun family, there was also Su Dagen.
Some time ago, Dagen's wife gave birth to a daughter, and Sun Shan specially gave her a red envelope, which made Dagen's cousin call him cousin all the time.
Sun Shan thought for a moment and asked, "My younger brother seems to be seven years old now, why don't you send him to school?"
The eldest cousin quickly said, "Cousin, studying costs money, so it's better not to study."
The eldest sister's husband quickly agreed: "Yes, it's a waste of money. It's better to save the money. When you have enough, you can go back to Hulingshan Village to build a house and buy land."
Aunt Su, my eldest sister's cousin, and my eldest sister's husband also want their son Doujiao to go to school, but education costs money.
They had nothing but a few thatched huts.
You have to build a few houses and buy a few acres of land to feel safe.
Especially as children grow up, betrothal gifts and dowries are indispensable.
Everything costs money, so they dare not spend it recklessly.
Being able to work as a long-term worker in the Sun family is already a blessing from the Su family. I am luckier than many people. I dare not even dream of letting the boy go to school.
Aunt Su was afraid that Sun Shan would think they were short-sighted, so she quickly explained, "Shanzi, Doujiao is too stupid to be a good student. It would be better for you to save money to buy a few acres of land and build a few houses, and then find a good marriage for him when he grows up."
