Back Off, Let Me Come - #959 - Chapter 958: 958: Conclusion [asking for monthly votes]
“Is this a strange movement in heaven and earth?”
A layman can watch the excitement, while an expert can watch the door.
Ordinary people look at the clusters of flowers blooming in an instant and just think it is the magical power of some scribe. The most indispensable thing in the capital is the literati scribe. Knowledgeable scribes made more detailed guesses. They speculated that someone was recognized by heaven and earth and caused heaven and earth to respond.
“It seems to be auspicious, I wonder who caused it?”
Auspicious things like this are not a scarce commodity, but they are not popular on the street either. If you can see them once or twice in your life, you are extremely lucky. If you can personally trigger an auspicious event, it will be a feat that can be recorded in the family tree and passed down to future generations! When someone looks envious, they think about the people they know and guess which one of them has the ability to do it.
Some people also noticed something was wrong.
“That’s not right. I heard that the auspicious glow of heaven and earth can benefit a person for life. It can strengthen one’s literary mind and courage, break through bottlenecks in one fell swoop, or even improve one’s qualifications… These exotic flowers and plants are beautiful in beauty, but they are just ordinary plants. It’s not that strange.”
As soon as he said this, colleagues around him also reacted.
There are also people who calmly experienced the Dan Mansion.
The interior of Dan Mansion is very quiet, and the atmosphere of heaven and earth is normal.
There is no characteristic of bathing in the auspicious glow as rumored. In other words, this is not a vision of heaven and earth, but just a trick of someone’s words and spirits? Thinking again about what day it was, everyone turned their attention to Xun Zhen, this was the newly promoted father-in-law.
“Xun Shangshu, what an ingenious idea!”
This kind of wedding ceremony is really special.
Xun Zhen was confused after being named: “…”
I opened my mouth to explain, but the attention of my colleagues was obviously not on my side, and they all went to join in the fun. I don’t know what Yanling’s trick is, but at this moment, in the capital of Fengluo, strange flowers and plants are paving the way everywhere. The air is filled with a tangy fragrance.
The eaves of the buildings on both sides of the street are also decorated with lanterns made of flowers and plants, quietly emitting a soft white light.
Other than that, there is nothing else.
Xun Zhen felt a little relieved after hearing the news from his servant.
Today is a good day for his son Xun Ding’s wedding. If something bad happens on this day, it will be a huge blow to the reputation of the couple, and it will also become strong evidence that Xun Ding will be criticized in the court. This method won’t kill people, but it can disgust them to death.
Fortunately, there was no danger.
Xun Zhen said to the steward next to her: “Go outside and take a look. Why haven’t the wedding brides come back yet? It’s almost an auspicious time! Forget it, let’s send someone to Gongxi’s house to inquire.”
He had very few direct interactions with Gong Xiqiu.
The understanding of the future daughter -in -law is limited to the rumors, the Lord and the son of the son, and the son’s complaints. Xun Zhen knew one thing very well – Gong Xichou disliked Xun Ding, so the marriage process would definitely not go smoothly.
Xun Ding was being made things difficult for, he knew it with his toes.
The steward hurriedly went out to inquire about the matter, but halfway back he came back joyfully: “Parents, here they come, here they come, the new couple is here.”
Xun Zhen also heard the bustle outside at this time.
Colleagues are more restless than one.
As the host, Xun Zhen was not allowed to move around, but the guests did not have this taboo. Their curiosity was aroused by the “wow” sounds one after another, as if Qi Xiang’s cat lived in their hearts.
From time to time, I scratched twice, which made me feel unbearably itchy.
What on earth are these people outside saying “wow”?
Finally, someone took advantage of the chaos and secretly went out to watch.
followed one after another.
Everyone thought that they would not be discovered if they walked alone. When they turned around, they were shocked to find that they were still surrounded by the same group of people.
Soon, some people with little experience also said “wow”.
At some point, there was a rain of petals on the street.
On a broad road paved with exotic flowers and plants, a group of masked men and women dressed in exotic costumes were singing and dancing. The leader is a graceful woman. She wears a mask with grass patterns on her head, her feet are naked, and under her feet are seven drum heads painted with strange patterns.
The woman’s figure is graceful but powerful.
With the staggered steps of her feet, the silver bells on her ankles and wrists sounded crisp, and the drumhead under her feet also emitted rhythmic beats.
The group of men and women each held a simple musical instrument.
Behind the crowd followed a vehicle as wide as eight carriages. This car is also unique, with petals as the surface, branches as pillars, gauze covering the octagonal corners, and a vague figure sitting in it. I don’t know what kind of music this group of people is playing. It is cheerful, melodious, clear and open-minded. Just listening to it can be infected by that emotion. My hands and feet were itching unbearably, and I wanted to go down and dance.
The guests at the ceremony prided themselves on being reserved and restrained their impulses.
The common people watching the excitement nearby were not so sensible.
They were also led to join.
When the masked men and women danced to a certain beat, they would throw out a lot of pearls or a dime of gold and silver from time to time. These gifts will fall accurately into everyone’s arms instead of falling on the ground, and there will be no need to fight for them. One of the guests also received a gift.
Hello guys, real pearls.
It is as big as a thumb, crystal clear and round.
“Do the Gongxi people raise clams?”
Xun Ding felt that he was the one who was out of place. The clothing of these masked men and women are mostly green, white and pink, and he has an oversized conspicuous bag among them.
Looking at the pearls flying all over the sky, I couldn’t help but complain.
Where did brother Gongxi Qiu get so many pearls?
Let’s not talk about the gold and silver scattered along the way. There are hundreds of dendrobiums in pearls alone. No one is so lavish in raising clams at home. Xun Ding suddenly remembered that Gong Xiqiu had been calling him to add a head all day long. Is this not scolding himself, but clarifying the truth?
Compared with the Gongxi family, he is indeed as poor as a tack on his head.
When the last drum beat sounded and the music came to an end, the float stopped just in front of the gate of Xun Mansion. With two crisp sounds, two brilliant birds flew from the sky. They hold the tulle in their mouths on the left and right, and place it on the tent hook, revealing the newlyweds behind the tulle.
Xun Ding suddenly became the focus of dozens of pairs of guests’ eyes. Even though he was used to seeing big scenes, he was still numb from the sight.
“The wedding ceremony process of the Gongxi clan is different from that of the ordinary people. There are many disturbing things. Please forgive me.” Gongxi Qiu strode over, feeling refreshed. Those who didn’t know thought he was the protagonist today, “It’s just that It’s a pity that if the moon was in the sky, singing and dancing would be more enjoyable, and so many lanterns would be in vain…”
Those are exotic flowers and plants that can shine.
They also set off fireworks at night.
Gong Xiqiu has only seen it three times since he was so old.
The first two times, he was young, and he remembered that two couples in the clan were making vows, and the old priest made special arrangements for them. Although the scene is far less grand than before – the most important thing is that the population of the tribe is small – it is still unforgettable.
Jimo Qiu stepped forward with a wooden stick in hand and nodded to Xun Zhen: “It doesn’t matter, ‘Bai Hui Han Ying’ can last for twelve hours.”
Gong Xiqiu didn’t show it on his face, but he was speechless in his heart.
He remembered that the old priest’s “Bai Hui Han Ying” only lasted four hours? That is the result of training and conditioning a few days in advance.
The guests attending the ceremony had heard of Gong Xiqiu.
There are some people among them who have been beaten by Gong Xiqiu. Specifically, the forces they were in were beaten by Gong Xiqiu back then. They have some psychological shadow on this face, and they never thought that two of them would come today. In addition to those who have been beaten, there are also people who know more gossip.
couldn’t help but quietly cast his gaze towards the king who was watching the excitement.
I heard some unreliable unofficial legends. Before the founding of the country, their lord once publicly claimed that he liked men like Gong Xiqiu. In order to please the lord, those aristocratic families took the initiative to send double-digit young talents, and their facial features were all beautiful. It is somewhat similar to Gong Xiqiu. It is said that the popular men’s clothing in Kangguo also referred to Gongxi Qiu.
Gong Xiqiu is really a magnificent man!
The guests attending the ceremony are like squid in the melon field, eating melons everywhere.
Gu Chi, who was also eating melon, choked several times.
Chengtian, the censor, looked over by mistake.
asked: “There are so many people here, are you feeling unwell?”
Although Tian Cuo didn’t know Gu Chi’s way of being a scribe, he also knew that Gu Chi didn’t like places with many people, and his face was extremely pale every time. Gu Chi breathed slowly and waved his hands.
“No, I just lament the power of rumors.” These people here have not become history, wild history is just that wild.
Tian Cuo looked at it carefully for a while.
After confirming that Gu Chi was fine, he turned his attention elsewhere.
He was invited to attend Xun Ding’s wedding today, firstly to be a guest, and secondly to catch any mistakes, to see if there were any oversteps in Xun Ding’s wedding, and to observe whether his colleagues were slacking off and making mistakes. If so, there will be content in the next meeting.
Tian Cuo murmured.
“The wedding ceremony of the Gongxi clan…”
He is not familiar with it and cannot make any mistakes.
Xun Ding supported Gong Xi Lai and carefully stepped up the steps of Xun Mansion.
Jimo Qiu waved his sleeves, and the bodies of the masked men and women turned into flowers that filled the sky. Only then did the music of Xun Mansion start again.
Shen Tang couldn’t help but be speechless when he saw this scene.
“It would be a pity not to go to the wedding celebrations…”
Her voice was not loud, and everyone’s attention was not on her. No one paid attention to her complaints, but a pair of eyes fell on the person she complained about.
Shen Tang: “…”
When the newlyweds were surrounded by people and entered the wedding hall, Jimo Qiu took a step behind and said, “When I was wandering with my teacher and Fourth Uncle Lin, I was short of silver, and I did this before…”
But the process is not like this.
The overall design is more in line with secular aesthetic habits.
Shen Tang: “…”
She asked out of nowhere: “Is it expensive?”
Jimo Qiu said: “One game should cost at least a hundred gold.”
Shen Tang: “…”
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Brother Gong Xiqiu has never been in embarrassment in his life, but he has never been poor.
She is different. She has been in abject poverty for most of her life.
This made Shen Tang beat her chest inwardly again.
Because Gong Xiqiu and Jimo Qiu interfered, the process of worshiping heaven and earth during the wedding seemed a bit out of place. However, after entering the Xun Mansion gate, neither of them said anything. Xun Ding hinted that the master of ceremonies could go through the process normally and talk about it later.
The wedding hall was extremely quiet during the three prayers.
Xun Zhen knew about Gong Xilai’s physical condition, and also told the host not to delay, and to complete the steps as much as possible without making any mistakes. Send the newlyweds into the wedding room, and the other guests will entertain themselves, so that Gong Xilai will not be burdened as much as possible.
The master of ceremonies does as he is told.
Xun Zhen gave two symbolic blessings to the newlyweds.
As the leader of the country, Shen Tang also sent a few words.
Just when the master of ceremonies was about to ask the maid to help Gong Xilai in, Jimo Qiu stood up, and Xun Ding’s nerves tightened.
The voice was vaguely pleading: “Brother Shaobai…”
He looked at Jimo Qiu, who had a serious face, and was frightened. I hope that the other party will not make things difficult for the sake of paying for the favor.
And Jimo Qiu had no intention of making things difficult.
He just held the stick horizontally in front of him.
He said softly: “Put your hands up.”
The guests all watched this scene quietly, and Xun and Ding could only do as they were told. Mo Qiu said, “Here, you swear an oath to God.”
Xun Ding hurriedly said: “Brother, I will definitely be right -“
Jimo Qiu glared back before he finished speaking.
Jimo Qiu sang softly.
That is a strange and obscure language.
No one knew what he said, but looking at Jimo Qiu’s pious expression, they could guess what he said. No, there is still someone who understands. Shen Tang’s surprised eyes fell on him. She was convinced that she had never learned the language, but she had no hearing impairment.
Gu Chi also looked over.
Look at your master, then look at Jimo Qiu and Gong Xiqiu.
He was not too surprised by this. The head of his family was from the Gongxi clan, and it was a “holy object” that their clan had worshiped for countless years. He had known about this for many years. As a “holy object”, it is normal to understand the Gongxi language.
Jimo Qiu asked the two of them: “Do you agree?”
This sentence is a confusing question.
Xun Ding and Xun Ding woke up from their trance, looked at each other, and nodded firmly at the same time: “I agree.”
“God, I have agreed to your request.” Jimo Qiu held a wooden stick and tapped each of their palms. When the wooden stick was removed, a mark appeared in each of their hands. He said seriously, “This will be your loyalty to each other. Those who betray it will be punished by God. Until then, God will protect your contract, and even life and death cannot completely separate you.”
To outsiders, this is just a formality.
It was over after just two nagging words. Only the two parties involved clearly knew that this was not a pretense. They had a mysterious premonition in each other’s hearts, clearly felt each other’s existence, and could not betray! Those who betray will suffer the consequences of swallowing knives and drinking iron!
Jimo Qiu is different from Gong Xiqiu.
“As long as you don’t betray each other, everything you gain will be beneficial.” He didn’t dislike Xun Ding that much, and added afterward, “With this seal, you can be together forever.”
It’s not a blessing, it’s a fact.
Xun Ding looked at the mark on his palm. He didn’t understand what it meant at first, but he soon realized what it meant, and gradually his face showed ecstasy.
“Brother, is this really true?”
Jimo Qiu nodded and added: “However, if Alai lives beyond her original lifespan and you have an accident and lose the source, she will quickly weaken and die.”
This technique is originally designed for lovers.
There are benefits, but the price of betrayal is also heavy.
Live life from generation to generation, die from generation to generation, until the soul is scattered.
Even people from the Gongxi clan rarely dare to enter into a relationship. Xun Ding is a foreigner, and Gongxi Lai doesn’t understand. Both of them are “newborn calves not afraid of tigers.” The two people’s life spans are not equal, and the benefits of this technique to them far outweigh the disadvantages.
Xun Ding hesitated for a few breaths.
“If, I had three long and two shortcomings before that…”
Shouldn’t say such unlucky words on a happy day, but Xun Ding wanted to know the answer, so he mustered up the courage to ask anyway.
“Won’t.”
Shen Tang held his chin up and looked at it.
Jimo Qiu is lying.
