Chapter 654 Getting Married (5)
After everyone rested for a while, Mrs. Hong came out and said, "Ashan, it's almost time. We have to hurry. Come over and take the bride home."
Gui Ge'er immediately ran over and helped Sun Shan tidy up his clothes.
Just now he was surrounded by a group of little kids and a group of big kids. His brother Shan's clothes were a little messy. If he wanted to take the bride home, he must dress neatly and look his best at all times.
In Sunjia Village, there is a custom of making a fuss when picking up the bride and making a fuss when taking the bride back.
However, because of Sun Shan's identity and Yun Jie'er's identity, everyone was reluctant to make a fuss, and Sun Shan was not allowed to make a fuss.
Sun Shan walked straight into the boudoir and saw Sister Yun, wearing a red veil and sitting upright on the bed.
Mrs. Hong smiled and said, "Ashan, quickly help the bride put on her shoes, and then go and say goodbye to her parents."
At this time, a maid came out and said with a smile: "Master, the shoes are here."
Sun Shan picked up the red shoes and looked at the size. They were smaller than he had imagined. He thought Yun Jieer had big feet, but unexpectedly her feet were average.
After helping Yun Jie'er put on her shoes, Sun Shan went over to help Yun Jie'er up and said softly, "Yun Jie'er, come with me. We are going to say goodbye to our teacher."
Sister Yun trembled for a moment, then hummed in relief and followed Sun Shan out slowly.
The red veil is not dense, but slightly transparent, so you can still see some of it when walking, without it being conspicuous.
Sun Shan led Yun Jie'er out of the boudoir and toward the hall.
Mr. Hong and his wife were already sitting on the high hall, followed by Hong Dalang's family, Hong Erlang's family, He Shujun and his wife, and He Shuqiang.
Because He Shuqiang's wife was pregnant, she couldn't send him off to get married.
The accompanying nanny immediately took out a cushion and asked Sun Shan and Sister Yun to kneel down and bow to Mr. Hong and his wife, and say goodbye to their parents.
Originally, He Lixi and Chen should have been the ones to sit in the hall, but because the journey was far, the couple could not see Yun Jie'er off in person.
So Yun Jie'er had to stay at the Hong family, and let Hong Xiucai and his wife act as Yun Jie'er's parents' home.
Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, Parents and Teachers are all important to us, so Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er felt no psychological pressure in kneeling down to Mr. Hong, and Mr. Hong could bear it completely.
After kowtowing to Mr. Hong and his wife, they offered them a cup of tea. Mr. Hong and his wife gave gifts to Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er respectively.
Hong Xiucai said with joy and emotion: "I will hold your hand, grow old with you, stay with you all my life, and share the ups and downs with you."
The master's wife drank the tea and said with a smile: "Grow old together, and be together forever. Have a son soon, and have many children."
Because Mr. and Mrs. Hong are not Yun Jie'er's real parents.
I won’t talk about things like respecting parents-in-law, the three obediences and four virtues, being thrifty and managing the household, and supporting the husband and educating the children.
After kneeling to pay respects to Mr. Hong and his wife, he offered tea to Hong Dalang, Hong Erlang, He Shujun and He Shuqiang.
At this moment, He Shuqiang's eyes were red, and he said in a choked voice: "Sister, I won't send you off. Don't be afraid, I'm still in Huangyang County. If you have any problems, run out to find me. I'm worried if you go to the Sun family alone..."
He Shuqiang was still muttering, and He Shujun's wife couldn't bear to watch it anymore. She wanted to slap this unreliable brother away.
It’s not that these words are forbidden to be spoken, but they are spoken in secret. How can they be said so openly?
Fortunately, he and Sun Shan had known each other since childhood and knew each other well. If it was an unfamiliar son-in-law, Yun Jie'er's situation would have become difficult.
He Shujun pulled Big Fatty away and said, "Brother Qiang, stop talking here. The time is almost up. Sister Yun should leave."
He Shuqiang had a lot more things to say, but he really couldn't waste time, so he said, "Big sister, go back to your room quickly. I'll carry you out."
Sun Shan also led his men out and arranged the sedan chair.
After a while, Big Fatty came out carrying Yun Jie'er on his back, of course, with two maids supporting them.
Sun Shan couldn't help but think: Fortunately, Fatty is very strong and can carry Yun Jie'er. If Sun Shan were asked to carry her, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do it.
Fortunately, the rules here do not require the groom to carry or hug the bride, otherwise the scene would be awkward.
Sun Shan quickly opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and He Shuqiang let Yun Jie'er in.
He took a breath and said, "Brother-in-law, my eldest sister is in your hands. You must treat her well."
Sun Shan bowed his hands solemnly and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely treat Sister Yun well."
The word "big brother" scared He Shuqiang.
I couldn't help but shiver and said tremblingly: "Brother Shan, you are so formal. I, I am not used to it."
Sun Shan could no longer bear it and slapped He Shuqiang on the back.
He Shuqiang let out a cry, and Yun Jie'er's "hehe" laughter was heard from the sedan chair, and then it immediately disappeared.
He Shuqiang looked at Sun Shan aggrievedly, but Sun Shan didn't even look at him. He said to Yun Jie'er, who was sitting in the sedan chair, "Yun Jie'er, the sedan chair is ready. Sit tight."
Sister Yun hummed again and then stopped talking.
It’s not that Sister Yun doesn’t want to talk, but the rules prohibit her from talking. Sister Yun is almost suffocating and it’s so hard to endure it.
Sun Shan walked to his exclusive "wedding car" and sat in it. A voice came from behind: "Get the sedan chair, let's go!"
Slowly, Sun Dali led the carriage and moved forward, followed by the sedan chair, and then the wedding procession and the bride's send-off procession.
After walking a few steps, there was a burst of firecrackers from behind, accompanied by a basin of water being poured out.
Huangyang County is half a day's walk away from Sunjia Village, so everyone had to hurry on their way so as not to miss the auspicious day.
Aunt Sun, who was standing beside Sun Shan, took the rice and millet and walked a few steps before scattering them on the roadside.
He also chanted: Sprinkle a handful of grains, and all disasters will be eliminated. Sprinkle the wood of Jia and Yi in the east, and from now on every family will be blessed. Sprinkle the fire of Bing and Ding in the south, and every family of descendants will be prosperous. Sprinkle the gold of Geng and Xin in the west, and your descendants will be rich for generations...
They walked and walked, not knowing how long they had been walking and how many times the sedan bearers had taken turns, but they finally arrived at the intersection of Sunjia Village.
There were people waiting at the entrance of the village. When they saw the newlyweds coming back, they shouted happily: "The bride is here, the bride is here, everyone is ready."
When the uncle saw Sun Shan, he smiled and said, "Ashan, hurry up, the auspicious time is almost here."
After the team entered the village, the uncle from the family burned strings of firecrackers at the entrance of the village.
After passing the big banyan tree, another uncle from the same family saw the team and started lighting firecrackers.
As he walked, Sun Shan finally arrived at the Sun family's main gate.
The so-called gate tower is actually a house without doors in the front or back, where gods are enshrined.
When a married woman walks out of the gate tower, it means she is no longer a member of the Sun family but a member of her husband's family.
The bride enters from the main gate, which means that she is a member of the Sun family from now on.
This gate tower is more important than the gate of the old house of the Sun family. It is the recognition of the bride by the Sun family.
If you don't enter from here, you will be gossiped about and not recorded in the family tree.
Only the principal wife can enter the main gate tower; concubines are not allowed.
Of course, no one in Sunjia Village took a concubine, and Sun Shan had never seen a concubine walk in from here.
