Chapter 641: Mountain of Swords and Sea of ??Fire
In the middle of the day, Shangguan Yu and others had already arrived near Nanshan Village. In order to wait for the auspicious moment, they could only slow down their speed.
"The new uncle is here, go and tell Uncle Bai!" The children who were responsible for watching at the intersection shouted one by one when they saw Shangguan Yu coming on a big horse.
Children love to watch the fun, and the Bai family is happy to give red envelopes to the big ones, so there are naturally a lot of people running errands.
In fact, there is no need for children to report the news. The servants of the Bai family are also waiting nearby to report the news to their master as soon as possible.
This was not the first time Bai Sanshu married a daughter, but he was still nervous and looking forward to it.
Especially since there were so many guests, Bai Sanshu was even more afraid of making mistakes in etiquette and embarrassing his daughter and uncle.
"Sir, my new uncle is almost at the entrance of the village. This auspicious time has not yet come. Do you want to set off firecrackers?" Uncle Fu hurried to the lobby and asked.
"This..." Bai Sanshu hesitated.
Although the wedding day was chosen hastily, the auspicious time was still found by someone.
Bai Sanshu was afraid that Bai Ling would have troubles after his marriage, so he didn't want to welcome his new uncle in advance.
"Kuchiki!" As the eldest elder, Liu Zhenyou saw Bai Sanshu's tangled look and reprimanded: "As the old saying goes, it's better to choose the day than to hit it. These two children are both blessed people. It's a good time to marry them.
Time. Not to mention that when we arrive in the capital, we have to welcome the bride again. At that time, we just need to keep the time more accurate. Is it possible that it has become a rule to leave the new uncle outside and let the cold wind blow? "
Bai Sanshu was always afraid of Liu Zhenyou. When he heard him speak, he nodded quickly and said: "Dad is right. I will let people set off firecrackers and let the new uncle come in first. The second daughter has prepared so many programs. Wait.
If you leave when the time comes, it won't be considered a violation of the rules."
"That's the truth." Liu Zhenyou nodded.
Uncle Fu, who was listening on the side, quickly turned around and went out to order someone to set off the firecrackers first.
When the firecrackers sound, the new uncle can enter the village, pass through the checkpoints set by the bride's family, welcome the bride to bid farewell to her parents, and then get on the sedan chair.
Although Bai Ling was in the capital and had to be welcomed again, the banquet there was mainly for the man, and the woman was just going through the motions, and her parents were not around, so it could only be a normal affair.
And when we arrived in the capital, Shangguan Yu represented the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, and the funeral of the Han Dynasty was ahead of him, so there was no room for any fuss.
It is precisely because of this that Bai Ling comes up with so many ideas to embarrass the groom during the wedding ceremony, so that everyone can enjoy themselves.
Of course, Bai Ling's idea was not meant to humiliate Shangguan Yu, but it might have been a bit embarrassing for the ancients.
In addition to the essay questions given by Bai Ling, there were also martial arts tests given by his younger brothers and sisters. Even Bai Ling didn't know what they were about.
"Hello, Brother Shangguan." Bai Xing is wearing a pink cotton skirt with a pink placket on the outside and a garland of pearls on her head. She is like a little fairy beside the Bodhisattva, beautiful and fairy-like.
"Fourth sister, it's time to change your name to brother-in-law." Duan Yulang shouted with a smile.
"My second sister hasn't been picked up on the sedan chair yet. It's too early to call my brother-in-law." Bai Xing smiled, revealing a pair of small pear dimples, and said sweetly: "When the eldest brother-in-law came to pick up the eldest sister, he passed a lot of tests.
You can't just favor one over the other when you come to Brother Shangguan's place, right? Those who don't know better would think that our family is dissatisfied with Brother Shangguan."
Duan Yulang was speechless, so he turned back to Shangguan Yu and said, "Brother, work hard!"
Shangguan Yu raised his foot, kicked towards Duan Yulang, warned him with his eyes, and put away his gloating eyes.
Duan Yulang was kicked and staggered several steps. He stared at Shangguan Yu with a very aggrieved look, not even daring to reply, so as not to continue to be beaten.
"Please ask the little sister to give the question." Shangguan Yu seemed to have expected it, but he was not surprised.
"Ah, look at my memory, I must have gotten up too early in the morning and I forgot what the topic was." Bai Xing weighed a small hand and smiled proudly.
Seeing this, the matchmaker hurriedly put a heavy purse into Bai Xing's hand, and said pleasantly: "Looking at how beautiful the fourth girl is, in a few years she will be as beautiful as the second girl. I will definitely be the matchmaker then."
Please pay more attention to the future of the fourth girl. Today is a happy day, so please be kind to the fourth girl."
Bai Xing blushed with shame, clutched her purse, and almost wanted to run away.
However, Bai Xiaoshan and Liu Xu, who had taken the time to come back, took a step forward to block the matchmaker's attack for Bai Xing.
"Since it is a big day, then we should act according to the rules. If there are many red envelopes, the problem will be much simpler. The matchmaker does not need to say much, she only needs to say auspicious words and give red envelopes." Bai Xiaoshan has been the county magistrate for nearly a year.
Although it is small, it carries official authority.
The matchmaker knew Bai Xiaoshan's identity and said hurriedly and respectfully: "What you are saying is that the groom has already prepared a red envelope. Just ask the questions, and I will give the red envelope to the matchmaker. This is a good day, just like a red envelope."
, prosperous, the more you give out, the more auspicious and successful you will be.”
Bai Xiaoshan clasped his little hands behind his back and glanced at the matchmaker like a young adult, as if he was waiting for something.
The matchmaker was stunned for a moment before she realized that although Bai Xiaoshan was an official, he was standing here today as his brother-in-law. He was really a child and deserved a red envelope.
He hurriedly took out a bunch of purses and stuffed one into each of Liuxu, Haizi and other children who were standing behind Bai Xiaoshan. The matchmaker wiped the sweat from her forehead and stepped aside.
The last time I acted as a matchmaker for Yang Fan and Baicao, the matchmaker thought it was strange how the Bai family made things difficult for the groom, so she even mentioned it to the families of some girls who were planning to get married.
But today, the matchmaker just feels like she has a big head.
After all, the groom is the heir apparent. If he is unhappy, will the wedding go smoothly?
"I have known Brother Shangguan for many years, and I believe you will be good to my second sister. But for a general verification, I hope that Brother Shangguan Haihan will do the same." Putting the purse in his arms, Bai Xiaoshan cupped his hands and said.
"Brother-in-law, you're welcome, please." Shangguan Yu replied seriously.
The smartest person in the Bai family is the small county magistrate Bai Xiaoshan, but he usually likes to pretend to be stupid, and has never shown any cleverness except in academics.
"Everyother's pledge is the most touching promise, but it is also the most unreliable. Today, I offended you and prepared a sea of knife and fire. I wonder if Brother Shangguan is willing to go out for my second sister?" Bai Xiaoshan asked.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. This was the first time they heard of such a method of getting married.
However, Shangguan Yu nodded without hesitation: "Yes."
"Brother Xiaoshan, are you serious?" Duan Yulang asked with a smile.
Bai Xiaoshan smiled mysteriously and clapped his hands to signal his men to carry things up.
I saw only an iron trough with red-hot coals inside, which was still crackling.
The servant carrying the iron trough was so hot that he sweated.
On the other iron plate, there is a knife block used by street performers.
Although the so-called Mountain of Swords and Sea of Fire is not large in area, it is worthy of its name and is not ambiguous at all.
"Um..." Duan Yulang swallowed, pulled Shangguan Yu, and smiled flatteringly at Bai Xiaoshan: "Brother Xiaoshan, today is a happy day. It's not good to see blood. Otherwise, it's none of our business.
Just give it a try, or let someone else do it for you?"
"Can someone else do the wedding for me?" Liu Xu asked innocently.
Duan Yulang really wanted to cover Liu Xu's mouth, but he didn't dare to do so.
"Brother Xiaoshan, how about you make a price and give me the answer directly." Duan Yulang took out a stack of banknotes and said seductively, "How about it? I told you, these are all yours, each one is worth a thousand taels."
