Chapter 91 Three Bows
Near noon, the groom appeared.
Wearing a bright red ancient-style groom's outfit, he led a group of "people" also dressed in red to the gate of the courtyard and looked into the distance.
Fang Xiao stared at the bright red ancient-style groom's outfit on the groom Li Gang, and couldn't help but frown slightly: "Looking at the groom's outfit, it was probably a Chinese wedding? The bride might not wear a red hijab? Please pay attention.
Don’t go see the bride later.”
After hearing what Fang Xiao said, Gao Ping and Huang Hu nodded one after another to indicate that they understood.
Before long, the sound of festive gongs and drums sounded in the distance, and it kept getting closer.
As expected, the bride was picked up.
After a while, the sound of gongs and drums came outside the door. At this time, an old but energetic male voice sounded: "The bride has arrived, please ask the groom to carry the bride off the sedan."
I saw a sedan chair parked at the courtyard gate, and four bearers in red stood at the four corners, looking at the groom Li Gang.
Li Gang quickly arranged his clothes, then walked to the sedan and bent down.
Fang Xiao immediately withdrew his eyes from the corner of his eyes and glanced at Huang Hu and Gao Ping next to him. He found that they were not peeking, so he looked away from the two of them.
At this time, Fang Xiao could notice that the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
Because out of the corner of his eye, Fang Xiao caught a glimpse of many chosen ones. At this moment, his eyes widened and his face trembled, as if he had seen something incredible.
He didn't dare to look at the bride at the courtyard gate, but he could still observe the chosen ones elsewhere.
The eyes of these chosen ones opened wider and wider, and finally the corners of their eyes began to crack, and their eyeballs almost seemed to fall out.
Immediately afterwards, their trembling faces began to crack, like cracked porcelain dolls.
Then more and more cracks began to spread along their skin, and blood seeped out along the cracks, soon dyeing the skin a bright red.
The blood flowed down their bodies and quickly flowed to the ground, covering the cement floor in the yard with a layer of red.
On the ground where Fang Xiao was staring, Li Gang's legs appeared. Behind his legs was a red skirt, and under the skirt was a pair of red embroidered shoes.
The red-stained ground and the changes in the chosen ones obviously did not affect this weird wedding.
Li Gang was still walking, and the "people" following him were still noisy and making noise, making the atmosphere more lively.
Red is the red of blood.
Red is a festive red.
The two weird atmospheres merged together. Fang Xiao didn't know what the other surviving chosen ones felt like, but he had a weird feeling of being out of place, as if he was isolated from this scene.
Li Gang finally carried the bride onto the high platform in front of the main room, and Fang Xiao also controlled his gaze better so that no part of his field of vision could miss the scene there.
The old but energetic male voice sounded again: "Now, please invite the bridegroom and bride to worship heaven and earth!"
"Worship heaven and earth!"
Blood flowed to Fang Xiao's feet.
"Two thanks to Gaotang!"
The chosen ones with cracks all over their bodies fell to the ground one after another, making a series of "plop" and "plop" sounds.
"Couple greetings!"
The chosen one who fell to the ground was like a balloon that had been popped and began to shrive up.
"The ceremony is completed! The bride is sent to the bridal chamber!"
A gust of wind blew by, and those shriveled chosen ones turned into ashes and disappeared, as if they had never existed in this world.
After a short while, the pale but energetic male voice sounded again: "Now, everyone, come to my place to pay the gift money. The banquet will start at two o'clock. If you are interested, you can finish the meal before leaving. Wait for the bridal chamber in the evening and give it to the Li family boy."
Add to the joy."
Huang Hu touched Fang Xiao with his shoulder and said with lingering fear in his tone: "Brother Xiao, the bride has been sent to the bridal chamber, can you see it? I guess you guessed it right just now, the bride didn't wear a red hijab."
Fang Xiao had just been relying on his strong hearing to distinguish, and naturally knew that the bride had been sent to the bridal chamber.
The reason why he hasn't raised his eyes yet is because he wants to see if there will be any surprises next.
But for now, it seems there are no surprises.
So Fang Xiao nodded and glanced at the high platform in front of the main room: "Well, that's all."
At this time, there was only an old man in red. He was standing on the high platform, asking the people below to move up a set of tables and chairs.
On the table that was moved up, there was a red gift book, a bottle of ink and a writing brush.
Obviously the next step is to receive gift money.
But these chosen ones don’t have money. Could it be that they are supported by “people” at home?
At this moment, Fang Xiao discovered that the eldest sister Xu Yan was walking towards him.
"Our rules here are that each family pays a gift. My mother prepared the gift for me last night. Second brother, you can just sit and wait for the banquet." The eldest sister Xu Yan came to Fang Xiao and said to her.
He took out a red envelope from his pocket and shook it.
After the words fell, the eldest sister Xu Yan walked towards the high platform.
Then Huang Hu's second sister also came over, and her words were no different from Xu Yan's.
"Brother Xiao, do you think the next banquet will be the same as last night, as long as you don't drink?" Huang Hu looked at his "second sister" who went up to hand over the gift money, frowned and spoke.
Fang Xiao glanced around: "It's possible that the current clues about the banquet are that we only know that we can't drink. We will wait until the banquet starts to see the situation."
At this time, there were only more than 20 selected candidates left in the courtyard. Needless to say, these 20 people were either extremely observant and discovered the anomaly on Fang Xiao's side immediately.
Either that or I have deduced from various clues that the bride’s face cannot be seen.
It didn't take long for the banquet to begin. One by one, "people" came in from outside the courtyard carrying plates, and then placed the sumptuous dishes on the plates on various tables.
The old man who received the gift money was carrying beer and liquor, and placed a few bottles on each table.
Looking at the fried pork with mushrooms, braised pork elbow, spicy rabbit legs, and pork vermicelli that were already served on the table, many people swallowed slightly.
However, no one moved their chopsticks on the table, and the dishes were still being served.
After nine sumptuous dishes and a pot of turtle soup were placed on the table, Fang Xiao, a "person" on the table, finally picked up chopsticks.
He smiled at the chosen ones and other "people" on the table: "The first wave of dishes is complete and ready to eat."
"Eat quickly. When the time is up, the first wave will be removed and the second wave will be started."
Chapter completed!
