Chapter 1444 Welcoming the bride

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At midnight, Mr. Zhao was called by his uncle.  Zhao Shouye also served as Shang Baoqing of Honglu Temple in Nanjing, but he was nowhere to be seen all year round.  If it weren't for his nephew's marriage, he might not have returned to Nanjing this year.

    Wang Xijue, Hua Boxhen and others also came, as well as a group of students in Nanjing, and senior executives of the group came to join in the fun, helping to decorate the house with lanterns, flowers and red decorations, making the decoration more festive than the Chinese New Year.

    The disciples first waited on the master to bathe with pomelo leaves. It is said that these leaves can wash away bad luck from the body.  After the whole body was cleansed, she helped him put on bright red pants and bright red Jifu from inside to outside.  Then he pressed him in front of the mirror and prepared to go up.

    The so-called "top" is an adult ceremony. In the words of later generations, it means combing your hair like an adult.  In ancient times, it was said that women would get married when they were fifteen or twenty years old, and men would change their hairstyle when they were twenty, which meant that they had reached the marriageable age.  But by the Ming Dynasty, few people would deliberately follow the ancient rituals.  People choose to perform the head-dressing ceremony before their wedding.  One is combing and arranging hair for the wedding, and the other is the coming-of-age ceremony for the couple.

    ??~~

    So at this time, Caijia Lane, Fangzhai and Yuzhai were also holding their own head-offering ceremonies for Qiaoqiao and Ma Xianglan.  This is an adult ceremony, and relatives and friends will come to watch it together.

    The ceremony is presided over by a "good luck man" or "good luck woman", that is, a person with parents, partners, children and a harmonious marriage.  If the mother of the new couple meets this condition, she is usually the 'lucky mother-in-law'.

    Of course Qiaoqiao¡¯s mother wants to fuck her daughter herself.  But she followed the requirements of her good-luck womanher parents were still alive, and she and Fang De were a couple in times of trouble, and their love was as strong as gold. Unfortunately, she only had a daughter, Qiaoqiao, and no son.  Therefore, he could only invite a neighbor with all the blessings to help his daughter.

    Who would have thought that yesterday, someone suddenly came to the door and said that he was her son, Qiaoqiao's younger brother.  Qiao Qiao's mother was startled and then she remembered that she did have a son. She couldn't help crying with Fang De. The old Fang family finally had a daughter

    She finally fulfilled her long-cherished wish and was able to visit her daughter in person.

    Qiao Qiao is wearing a bright red wedding dress and sitting in front of the window where she can see the moon.  The three aunts and six wives gathered around, saying flattering and auspicious words.

    On the table beside there are mirrors, round-head combs, scissors, children's rulers, red-headed ropes, needlework and other household supplies, as well as three bowls of roasted meat, chicken and soup balls.  One bowl contains six lotus seeds, one bowl contains six red dates, and one bowl contains six glutinous rice balls.

    When the auspicious time comes, Qiaoqiao¡¯s mother lights a pair of dragon and phoenix candles, and then takes her daughter to worship the moon.

    After getting up, Qiaoqiao¡¯s mother loosened Qiaoqiao¡¯s bun, letting her daughter¡¯s long hair hang down like a waterfall.  Then he combed it carefully with a comb, and muttered something while combing it: "comb it with one comb to the end, comb it with two combs until the white hair reaches the eyebrows, comb it with three combs until the children and grandchildren are all over the floor, comb it with four combs until the four silver bamboo shoots are all in line"

    Normally, she should be crying and singing at this time, but Qiao Qiao¡¯s mother couldn¡¯t cry no matter what.

    Of course she couldn¡¯t cry anymore. It wasn¡¯t that she wanted to knock him out and get free shipping. With a shy temperament like Qiaoqiao, she wouldn¡¯t take the initiative to take care of Zhao Hao¡¯s life

    Qiaoqiao was still a little reluctant to give up, but seeing her mother grinning from ear to ear with joy, she could only smile helplessly.

    Is it true? Is it true?

    ??~~

    In the spacious and elegant Yuzhai.

    The daughter-in-law of Yu Jia Chang also sang the song of combing her hair. She tied up her long hair for Ma Xianglan, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress, and combed her hair like a bride.  He also tied cypress and red head ropes to her hair.

    Qi Jingyun, as Ma Xianglan¡¯s god-sister, made a meal for her with two red and white eggs.  Afterwards, Yu Jiachang's wife picked up the three bowls on the table and let Ma Xianglan eat lotus seeds, red dates and glutinous rice balls, which symbolized the early birth of a son and a happy marriage.

    Unlike the cheerful scene at Qiaoqiao's house, Sister Ma here was fine at first, but when she was eating lotus seeds and red dates, she couldn't help but start crying, and her eyes were red from crying.

    It made all the women cry together, thinking that this was Miss Ma remembering her lonely life experience.  They all advised her to get married now and have a family.  In the future, if you have children and are full of children and grandchildren, won¡¯t you be happy?

    Who would have thought that Ma Xianglan started crying even harder and couldn't stop it no matter how hard she tried to persuade her.

    Only Qi Jingyun on the side knew why she was crying, and he held Ma Xianglan's hand and cried silently with her.

    ??~~

    Zhao Mansion.

    Wang Xijue, as a ¡®lucky guy¡¯, combed and tied Zhao Hao¡¯s hair.

    Chef Wang was mumbling something, but as soon as he picked up the comb and combed it, Zhao Hao's hair fell fell

    Wang Xijue looked at the hair stuck on the comb with his mouth wide open, and then at Zhao Hao's bare head.

    "You became bald so early? You are so baldMr. Yu Jia has shares in Weijixian and Xiaocangshan, and the annual dividends are tens of thousands of taels of silver.  Moreover, he also opened a manpower dental shop with dozens of branches, specializing in recruiting basic labor force from the north for Jiangnan Group, as well as various technical talents such as craftsmen, scholars who could not enter school, and young doctors. In one year,  The income from this area is also twenty to thirty thousand taels, so he really has the ability to build a large garden.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Although he was only Ma Xianglan's adoptive father, Zhao Hao still knelt down and called him father-in-law, which really gave Yu Jia a lot of face.

    This made Qi Jingyun, who was helping Ma Xianglan out, sigh inwardly. It seemed that Miss Ma's weight in Mr. Zhao's heart was not as important as usual.  This kneeling is not for Yu Jia's sake, it is purely for Miss Ma's face

    After the tea was served here, Yu E, the second son of Yu Jiazhang, should have carried Ma Xianglan on his back in the sedan.

    However, Zhao Hao waved his hand to signal Yu E to step back, then he stepped forward and picked up his sister Ma.

    Ma Xianglan first exclaimed, but then heard that familiar voice.

    "I just heard Zhao Hao say softly: "The hijab and sedan chair are ready, will you marry me?"

    "Well" She softened her body, hugged his neck tightly, lay shyly in his arms, and allowed Zhao Hao to carry her out of the Yu family.

    Xiniang opened the sedan curtain, and Zhao Hao gently placed Sister Ma in the eight-carriage sedan.  When the sedan curtain fell, Hua Boxhen said loudly: "Get up the sedan!"
