spring dream

Chapter 38

038

On the first floor of the teahouse, there is a couplet pasted at the entrance of the private room facing the stage, "Qin Se Ya Le welcomes guests from heaven, Dan Gui Zhi Lan looks forward to the people in the moon", which was written by Mr. Xiao.This is Yin Yuefang's bridal room.

More than 30 tables and chairs in the main hall are covered with satin silk cloth, embroidered with gold "囍", white porcelain tableware, agate sugar box, and the details are meticulous.There are fiery red veils above the head, high hanging lanterns, and a circle of big red hydrangeas around the "Heya" plaque.

After the guests were seated, Lu Xiaozhao helped Lu Ran fasten his shirt cuffs, and stuffed a "Zhonghua" cigarette into his pocket.

"Only smoke one, be happy." Lu Xiaozhao squeezed his brother's hand.

Lu Ran nodded, and pinched Lu Xiaozhao's face: "Today we are open to eat, we only pick expensive ones, be smart."

The master of ceremonies stepped onto the stage, looked at his watch, and nodded to the old man in the auspicious purple and gold robe at the door.

"The auspicious time has come!" The high-pitched voice was that of an old student in the theater troupe, with white temples, but a spirited complexion.Firecrackers sounded, gongs and drums shook the sky, and two rows of people standing along the street looked at the street entrance. A classic car slowly stopped in front of the towering archway.Fang Mingli was wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket with a stand-up collar and buttons, and the golden embroidered pattern was shining brightly in the sun. He was being pushed and shoved by the brothers in the team, and he walked quickly towards the teahouse.

Wen Qi raised his jaw, and the neckline of the Tang suit was tied around his neck. He frowned and felt tight.Xiao E was incredulous for a long time, when he took out the clothes, he obviously tried to fit them, but in just a few days...

Put on weight?Xiao E was taken aback, moved Wen Qi's body from side to side, looked up and down meticulously, and smiled more happily than the bridegroom official: "Take it off, don't wear it anymore, just find a red one and make do with it."

Wen Qi picked up the hem of his clothes, and rubbed his thumbs over the complicated cloud patterns: "Waste."

"If you can gain ten catties." Xiao Er straightened his sleeves, wearing the same clothes as Wen Qi, but two sizes bigger, "I can open a Tang suit shop."

There was a luxurious and prosperous scene outside the door, and the noise filled my ears. Wen Qi leaned in front of the railing and looked down. There were crowds of people, all looking in the direction of his feet.He leaned over, looking past the "Heya" plaque, Yin Yuefang had already been coaxed out, stepped on the brazier, straddled the saddle, supported by the "old student" just now, and stood on the red carpet stretching towards the stage.

Lu Ran followed the camera all the way, Lu Xiaozhao and Xiao Jing jumped from time to time, throwing a handful of rose petals into the air.

On the "Heaven and Earth Table" directly in front of the stage, there are big buckets, rulers, scissors, mirrors, abacus and steelyards, which are called "six certificates", which symbolize the man's wealth and his absolute loyalty to the woman. The couple will worship the world here.

The Xiuhe suit on Yin Yuefang was also made by Aunt Sun. It took 49 days to embroider the Luanfeng picture for two weeks.The gold ornaments on the head are shining brightly, and the suet jade hairpin given by Xiao Er is inserted in the middle.

Wen Qi's gaze followed Yin Yuefang's figure, watching the two holding hands in front of the "World Table", walking up the steps together, prostrating three times and kowtowing six times under the witness of relatives and friends, making a provocative confession, and the ceremony was successful.

Even though they were far away, Wen Qi could still feel Yin Yuefang's moving face, the bride's makeup was all over, and such a strong woman leaned into Fang Mingli's arms, like a bird returning to its nest.

Wen Qi suddenly remembered Xiao Er's previous hug, and subconsciously looked at him, then quickly moved away after meeting his gaze, hooking his index finger on the cuff.

Dazed for a moment, his attention was attracted by the hydrangea in the hands of the master of ceremonies. Wen Qi grabbed the railing and leaned forward. A group of people surrounded the stage, waving their arms, looking excited. Lu Xiaozhao, Xiao Jing and Xie Yingying were also among them.

"Want to go?" Xiao Er rubbed Wen Qi's shoulder and asked.

Wen Qi doesn't like excitement, and he doesn't like crowds, but he yearns for a full house full of red. After hesitating, he shook his head.

Seeing the changing expression on his face, Xiao Er said with a smile, "Do you know what it means to receive a hydrangea?"

Wen Qi listened carefully with bright eyes.

Xiao Er lowered his head and lightly touched the back of Wen Qi's hand with his index finger: "In ancient times, throwing hydrangea balls was used to choose a good son-in-law. Now, instead of bouquets, it means to convey happiness. Whoever catches it will be the next one to get married."

Wen Qi looked down, a little frustrated, he didn't understand why he had a strong desire for hydrangea, let alone why he wanted it so urgently to give it to Xiao Er.

"Come on, the bride turns her back." The master of ceremonies handed the hydrangea ball to Yin Yuefang, "I'll call one, two, three, and throw it back vigorously, let's see who is the lucky one today."

"Really not going down?" Xiao Er asked again, Wen Qi pursed his lips, digging the edge of the fence with his fingernails.

"Three——" the master of ceremonies began to count down, and Wen Qi frowned slightly.

"Two——" He looked at Xiao Er with an expectant face, and was a little angry with himself, but there were too many people below, even if he went, he couldn't grab it at all.

"One——" the hydrangea was thrown, and Yin Yuefang turned around immediately. There were waves of people one after another. The hydrangea danced in countless hands, and finally hit Lu Ran's face.

As soon as the camera went dark, Lu Ran hooked his hand and caught it firmly.

Wen Qi was extremely envious, watching Lu Xiaozhao hugging his brother and jumping up and down, the camera almost hit the ground.The audience was ebullient, Yin Yuefang couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she was peaceful, and the gongs and drums still kept beating.

He lowered his head and stared at a void, not knowing what he was thinking about.When he came back to his senses, he wanted Xiao Er to go downstairs to have a wedding banquet without being with him anymore, so he turned his face and looked over, and in front of him was a red hydrangea covered with colorful tassels, which was more delicate and beautiful than the one in Lu Ran's hand.

Wen Qi was taken aback.Scratching the delicate silk cloth with his slender fingers, he heard Xiao Er say, "Oh, I actually picked it up."

Xiao Er held Wen Qi's hand firmly and asked him to hug the hydrangea: "I said, as long as it is what you want, I will give it to you."

Wen Qi looked at it for a long time, blinked, then looked up at Xiao Er.

Xiao Er's face gradually enlarged in Wen Qi's pupils, the four eyes met, and even the fine fluff on the skin could be seen clearly: "What should I do, it's my turn to get married next time, I don't know what I like People, will you agree?"

After saying this, as if to ease his shyness and embarrassment, Xiao E stuck out his tongue and made a face at Wen Qi, finally making people laugh, but with this smile, Wen Qi covered his mouth in dismay, and Xiao E lost his breath in shock. , the two looked at each other, the joyous excitement couldn't get close, and there was only a blank space between them.

Below Wen Qi's lips is a row of jagged front teeth, all of which are broken.
