Except for the neighbor neighbor, Ma that large relatives and friends roll all rush, has in the city, have the countryside, brings along the old and young, men and women, enormous and powerful, is really magnificent.
Ma that yard radically abundant not under these many people, in room say nothing, therefore has built the water seat under own outer wall, because the banquet has not opened, the guests have sitting, has the station, shouted calls the friend, to chat in a whisper. The east wall corner gripped kitchen, the chef who invited was bustling about there, an intermittent meat fragrance often floated.
The house of Ma is one three, the middle is a main room, about lives in the shed. The original east room is biggest, is always lives by Mother Ma, now has early leapt, the cleanness of straightening up, the wall whitewashed has treated as the new home. Mother Ma has moved to the west room. Although Ma Qiao is filial, does not think that old lady has the least bit to be crooked, actually stubborn the old lady in this point, furthermore the bride gets married, is not always good in the hut receives aggrievedly, has obeyed the meaning of old lady.
Yang Fan rushes, Ma Qiao has changed the mauve official's costume, wears Liang Guan, is anxious face sweat. The mauve official's costume is four to the court dresses of six Imperial Court high-ranking officials, but the Imperial Court exceptional case, the bridegroom and new bride can make an exception to put on the official's costume leather strap and phoenix coronet cape or shawl worn by upper-class ladies in ancient times, can make this appearance by Ma Qiao.
Sees Yang Fan to catch up, Ma Qiao to him grinning, the face has hidden somewhat stiffly, it seems like that this wedding, went bad him really anxiously. Is good between having Su Fangzheng and work place several warm-hearted dignified characters helps him manage the wedding, everything has these people to arrange, to pour is also orderly.
To afternoon 3 to 5 p.m, because of when the first month of summer, the weather also greatly has been shining . Moreover the dough sheet family/home leaves Ma not to be far. Lives in a Fangli. Does not need such already to go to bride's home to escort her to the wedding, but relatives and friends He Ke already waited not to be impatient, under one creates a clamor. The Su Fangzheng decision decision, greets the bride, therefore an important goods person was then creating a clamor Ma.
Yang Fan accompanies side Ma Qiao. Left the front gate of Ma, out of the door early stops the carriage that has hired, in Mabozi is tying up a scarlet cloth, appears the happy expression spirit. Ma Qiao is the bridegroom, the bridegroom must receive the bride personally the bride, therefore is put up the carriage to hurry to toward the dough sheet family/home by Ma Qiao,
To Ma, was accompanied Ma Qiao to enter the courtyard by the wedding attendant, first pays a visit the fellow relatives in mother-in-law Sir and maternal home. Then takes the new bride to board. In the dough sheet family/home, by spending the aunt and one group of aunt children is lending a hand, the Xiao Dong miss and girls in one group of Fangli is accompanying dough sheet of splendid attire in the room.
According to custom. At this time should read by the groom's family „urges makeup poem”. But that is the lofty gadget that writer scholars plays, ordinary common people many are does not know the large character. Where will read anything to urge makeup poem, therefore, Ma Qiao leads one group of male partners to knock at the door to shout dough sheet outside the name, inside one group of girls laughing are not willing to open the door, has some problems to create obstacles for them by all means.
If these girls create obstacles intentionally, Ma Qiao wants to take the wife to come out smoothly, cannot fear the most double-hour on the gate advance party, dough sheet listened to the sisters to create obstacles for in several then hearts not to endure, could not bear speak for Ma Qiao backs up the speech, begged the sisters to put his horse. The sisters see this scene, this teased dough sheet several, opened the door, has supported her.
Dough sheet wears a green deep clothes, the bridegroom puts on red, the bride puts on azure, this is the attire that the Chinese marries, „attractively dressed boys and girls” this idiom is from this. The dough sheet big sleeve, throws over silks, is grand and solemn, head ornaments money colored glaze assorted ornamental hairpin decoration, although the non- true money decorations, look not to have anything to distinguish, the appearance of full pearls and jade appears exceptionally noble.
Was only a pity that Yang Fan curls upwards tip of the toe not to see her appearance. Dough sheet has not covered the lid actually, although the lid appeared from the Han Dynasty time, but Tang Dynasty time lid also non- high prevalence, most people got married use the circular fan, in the dough sheet hand was taking a handle circular fan, a handle purfling the circular fan of white feather, was obstructing solid her face, can only see the little flesh from one side.
In the new bride family/home has also hired a carriage, dough sheet is supporting by the arm by the Xiao Dong the girl in miss and another Fangli, boards the carriage slowly, Ma Qiao acts as the groom, drives to lead the way, the wheel only rolled three circles, he got out his carriage, was changed to drive for the new bride by the cart driver, Ma Qiao hit Ma Yang bian, first in rushed home to prepare to fetch the bride.
This custom is called „counter- horse”, if discovered that the new bride is not a maiden, or has the behavior that any serious does not observe the traditional woman ethics, the groom's family can draw back the person, the new bride supplies for oneself the carriage reason here, although got married, she has not calculated the genuine Ma person now.
When Ma Qiao drives to leave Yang Fan has not accompanied, his status is free, calculates that the husband's household person also calculates the husband's family's home person. The relative who Yang Fan grinningly in one group of accompanying the bride to her new home with the dough sheet family/home, is accompanying the dough sheet carriage, sluggishly turns back Ma, sees Ma Qiao to put on bridegroom the formal clothes, stood stretches the neck to wait in the entrance for a long time.
Then, steps the brazier, the cross saddle and cross rice bag......, A series of tedious going to bride's home to escort her to the wedding procedures, finished this set of flow with great difficulty, two „young boys and girls” dough sheet scatter the grain miscellaneous grains toward Ma Qiao and on, the bridegroom before, the bride are falling behind half step, under cheering of people focused attention on entered the main room slowly.
Entered the main room, then this line „the ritual of fan”, „fan ritual” quite in afterward selecting lid, just this time new bride did not have to be restricted, does not arrive at the wedding scene to feed in the new home. This time groom's family parents are responsible for chatting with the same generation the relatives and friends to banquet, the lead who manages the wedding is newly-married both sides, therefore this „actually fan ritual” holds in the hall.
Ma Qiao will not say that „actually fan poem”, was only then good to dough sheet „actually fan ritual”, dough sheet then keeping off moves in front circular fan gently.
The circular fan puts aside, she is she, she is not she!
The dough sheet facial features are graceful, smile bashfully, that charming appearance, knew well her Ma Qiao and Yang Fan continually looks to stay.
The new brides, are really this moment most beautiful women!
Mother Ma holds to smile, has deleted the tears of corner of the eye gently.
The wedding attendants are composing a poem in response to one received loud, lets bridal and bridegroom line of mutually gift givens to a visitor. At this time the knot still did not have the ritual of exchanging bows, did not need Bai Tian to do obeisance, but the couple face-to-face were standing, dough sheet then gracefully bent the waist, saluted to the husband. Ma Qiao boldly thrusting forward is standing, received dough sheet to do obeisance anxiously, again also a ritual.
Dough sheet does obeisance again, Ma Qiao returns salute again, such as is four times, their ritual becomes, this was the genuine husband and wife, dough sheet together has then gone forward with Ma Qiao, saluted to mother -in-law as bride.
Yang Fan stands in the side, visits them to cut the next wisp of hair, gets up with the red wire harness, puts in the brocade sack, completes „the ritual of knot sending” \; Visits them to take up the chopsticks, eats together the sacrificial offering to cross the ancestor spirit tablet the cooking meat, completes „with prison offering sacrifice” \; Looks that they use to divide into two, ties up with red thread in the same place bottle gourd wooden scoop hobnobs the next glass of liquor......
