After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?
Chapter 58 The Wedding is in Progress (4)
The crowd followed the newlyweds step by step into the main hall of the Han Mansion. Sitting on the main seat were Han Ming's parents - Han Shipu and Han Lu.
The first person on the side was the Grand Chancellor Han Zhang and his wife, and below them were Han Ming's other uncles. The most eye-catching among them was a man dressed in the clothes of an eunuch.
This was an angel sent by the government to watch the ceremony. Han Ming's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh at the great grace of the government. He was afraid that he would not be able to bear it!
After entering the house, Han Ming and Yu Yanran greeted the elders of the Han family in turn, and finally stood facing the main seat, Han Shipu and his wife.
"The newlyweds give their speech!" the emcee shouted in a deep voice.
Han Ming exhaled, crossed his arms, and saluted Yu Yanran, the tenderness in his eyes remaining deep and unwavering.
"The two families are united in marriage, the contract is signed in one hall, the marriage is eternal, and they are a perfect match."
"Look at the peach blossoms burning this day, and the IKEA room is suitable for you. It is predicted that the melons will be endless in the next year, and Erchang Erzhi."
"I hereby write down my promise to be together till old age on this piece of red paper, so that the covenant of red leaves can be recorded in the love genealogy."
"This is proof!"
As Han Ming finished speaking, everyone around him exclaimed in low voices.
"This young Mr. Han's oath contains three allusions in a row?!"
"The first '桃花灼灼' probably comes from the poem "The Book of Songs·Zhou Nan·Taoyao": The peach tree is young and tender, its flowers are splendid, the daughter is getting married, and she is suitable for her family."
"The original meaning is: When the peach blossoms are in full bloom, a beautiful girl will get married, and her family will be happy and her marriage will be perfect."
"The second '瓜瓞眠' comes from the Book of Songs, Da Ya, Mian, which reads: 'Meian 瓜瓞, the people are born from the earth, from the lacquer."
"'Guadi Mianmian' means a continuous vine with many melons of different sizes growing on it, and is used to wish for the prosperity of descendants!"
"As for the third 'Red Leaf Alliance', it's an allusion to 'Red Leaves Express Love,' also known as 'Red Leaves as Matchmaker.' Written in the oath, it conveys the idea of a perfect match, a marriage between lovers."
"..."
The people nearby were whispering and analyzing Han Ming's poems, but Han had already turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window. He was completely focused on the beauty, wanting to see her reaction.
As expected, Yu Yanran's pretty face, hiding behind the round fan, blushed slightly. The sweetness in her heart was overflowing. Her eyes were darting around, and she hurriedly lowered her body to return the greeting and speak.
"From now on, we are bound together in a happy marriage, becoming a loving couple. The red string is tied early, and we will be together forever. Flowers bloom and the moon is full. We will happily swim in the sea until the rocks dry up, and we will make our first vow as a pair of mandarin ducks."
"I hereby make this agreement!"
Yu Yanran's reply also made many people smile, "Undivided till old age," "Until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble!" This feeling is very good.
Han Ming was also laughing like a fool. A top scholar who had won the first place in the imperial examination was easily controlled by a silly girl.
The master of ceremonies outside the hall saw that the two had finished their oaths and all the preparations were complete, so he shouted in unison: "Perform the worship ceremony!"
Han Ming and Yu Yanran slowly turned around and faced the clear sky outside the hall.
"Bow to heaven and earth--!" The two of them bowed in unison towards the outside of the hall.
"Bow to parents again! Serve tea!" the emcee continued to sing along.
The two of them turned around again and faced Mr. and Mrs. Han Pu in the hall and bowed respectfully.
Then he took the teacup handed to him by the maid and presented it to Han Shipu and Han Lu.
Han Shipu stroked his beard and smiled happily, while Han Lu tightly grasped her handkerchief, and the joy on her face could no longer be concealed.
The two of them gave Han Ming and Yu Yanran some simple instructions, mostly old sayings about family harmony, mutual respect, equal treatment, and having children soon.
But Han Ming and Yu Yanran still felt a little shy. Yes, you read that right, Han Ming was shy too. Even modern thinking couldn't save his short-circuited brain.
Now he only had the expression of "silly smile", and Lu Haoqing, Han Ming's lackey, covered his face, not wanting to see his cousin's silly look.
The Han family's relatives and friends around them looked at the newlyweds Han Ming and Yu Yanran with gentleness and satisfaction.
Next to Han Lu, Han Yu, the second daughter of the Han family, opened her big round eyes and watched curiously as her brother and sister Yu got married.
"Husband and wife bow to each other--!" Seeing that the ceremony was finally coming to an end, the master of ceremonies couldn't help but sing along heartbreakingly.
The high pitch of the voice made the palace eunuchs sitting nearby marvel and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "This voice is so powerful, so talented, it's louder than any other singing group in the palace."
The newlyweds, Han Ming and Yu Yanran, stood facing each other, holding the two ropes of the big red flower in their hands.
In the expectant and tense atmosphere, Han Ming bowed first, and then Yu Yanran bowed to return the greeting.
"It's done——!"
"Send it to the bridal chamber—!"
The host's cheeks flushed with excitement, and it felt like he was sending himself away with this shout.
"boom--!"
“Crackling—!”
A burst of firecrackers rang out outside the mansion, and the people watching the ceremony in the hall applauded and cheered.
The surrounding men and women and their families surrounded Han Ming and Yu Yanran and led them into the bridal chamber, where they exchanged greetings.
The people around watching the fun were laughing so hard that they couldn't stop.
"Sister-in-law! Please put down the fan!" Lu Haoqing, who loves to be lively, encouraged everyone from the side, causing them to laugh.
Yu Yanran was shy and dodged, not daring to let it go.
Sheng Minglan and Zhang Guifen exchanged a glance, and Zhang Guifen interrupted: "Go away, you unmarried man, why are you joining in the fun?"
"Hahaha..."
"Hahaha...."
"..."
Zhang Guifen's words made Lu Haoqing scratch his head in embarrassment, and he could only watch with a wry smile.
Next, Han Ming and Yu Yanran sat on the bed together and performed the ceremony in the bridal chamber.
The first step is to spread the tent. After the newlyweds have finished greeting each other, the woman sits on the bed facing each other to the left and the man sits on the bed facing each other to the right. The ceremonial officer or a woman scatters money, coins and colorful fruits while reciting a tent-spreading song.
There are many types of bed-sweeping songs, some of which are slightly longer, and their content is generally to bless the newlyweds to love each other and have harmonious sex, and they may even have a bit of erotic color.
"Good luck and a long lasting marriage!"
"I haven't been able to see the fairy's figure clearly, but I know which peak of Wushan Mountain it is on."
"The young peach trees fly along the bank, mingled with the red rain. Only then do I believe that the path to Peach Garden is not lost."
"A thousand graceful flowers enclose the West Lady, and tonight the Blue Luan tries to ride her."
"Red and green surround the fragrant dust, smiling and lifting the fragrant scarf to pay homage to the jade seat."
"Musk coal smokes the golden duck continuously, never mind the height of the sun and the weight of the flower's shadow."
"Hehehehe...."
Many female relatives sang the song of spreading the bed with laughter, and took out dates, peanuts, longans, lychees, walnuts, chestnuts, lotus seeds, etc. from the fruit plate and scattered them on the new bed behind Han Ming and Yu Yanran.
The male relatives kept cheering and looking at the happy and well-matched couple.
Afterwards, Mother Feng from Han Lu's room came over with a square wooden tray, picked up a pair of scissors, cut a strand of Han Ming's hair, cut a strand of Yu Yanran's hair, and then combed them together.
This is a knot, also called a hair knot, which means to unite the two sexes into one and grow old together.
The unmarried Zhang Guifen and Sheng Minglan watched Mother Feng's actions with the look of curious babies, and found them extremely interesting.
"May you live happily ever after and grow old together, and may you have great luck!" Mother Feng combed the two strands of hair together, put them in a wooden box, and handed it to Han Ming.
Han Ming put it under the quilt and covered it.
Another maid came closer, carrying a wooden tray with two wine glasses marked on it with red ropes.
This is Heqin (or Jiaoqin), which means drinking wine from the same cup.
Han Ming and Yu Yanran picked up their cups and started drinking. They originally thought that Yanran was not a good drinker, but it seemed that the excitement intoxicated her and the girl drank it all in one gulp with great enthusiasm.
"it is good--!"
"Big brother is so lucky——!"
Seeing Yu Yanran so courageous, Gu Tingye, Lu Haoqing and others applauded, while Minglan blinked her eyes and looked at Yanran in disbelief.
So fierce?!
"May you drink the wedding wine together and be together forever, and may you have great luck!" The maid said with a happy blessing.
"Thank you!" Han Ming saluted with a smile.
After seeing the two finish drinking the wedding wine, everyone cheered, and the wedding came to a stop and ended temporarily.
As for the aftermath of the bridal chamber prank, Han Ming didn't dare let Gu Tingye, Lu Haoqing and the others make trouble. Yanran has a small face, and if she gets scared and cries, it will be the end of her.
However, everyone is a person who observes etiquette and respects moral principles, and even if the relationship is very good, they know the limits.
Gu Tingye laughed and said, "This matter is over. Jingyuan, come with us to go out for a drink!"
"Yes, today is a happy day, we must not go home until we are drunk!" The Di brothers pushed through the crowd, picked up Han Ming and dragged him out.
"Hey hey hey! How could I be afraid of you!" Han Ming simply shook his sleeves and strode to the front hall with the male relatives.
"Hahaha, I will definitely get you drunk today!" Zhong Zhen pointed at Han Ming and said.
"Okay, okay, I have to get drunk!"
"..."
