Chapter 188 Going Home and Getting Married (Part 2)

Dong Zongben, Dong Zunxun and Dong Zunhui all served as officials, and most of his clan members were dependent. Dong Zongben was the confidant of the late emperor Liu Zhiyuan, but after Liu Zhiyuan passed away, he still firmly sat in the position of governor of Suizhou. After Liu Chengyou ascended the throne, he gave more rewards to the old ministers of the late emperor. Dong Zongben not only received a large reward, but also was responsible for supervising the military and political affairs of Shenzhou, and his power increased a lot. Not long ago, the new emperor ascended the throne and began to take the spring exam. Dong Zongben's eldest son Dong Zunxun and his friends Wang Pu and others all passed the Jinshi and edited the Hanlin Academy. Dong Zunhui's second son Dong Zunhui is now a sixth-rank official, with the position of Deputy Zhaowu, and controlling a soldier in his hands. He is also young and promising.

Moreover, Dong Zunhui was married to Gao Huaide's eldest daughter. Gao Huaide is now the governor of Zhongzhou, and his father Gao Xingzhou is the governor of Tianxiong Army! Therefore, Dong Zunhui's marriage is the largest happy event in Suizhou and even Shandong Dongdao.[]

Because the distance is relatively long, Gao Huaide brought his daughter and family to Suizhou with a large number of dowry items, bought a mansion and settled in it, and used the land deed of the mansion as Gao Guiying's dowry.

December 22nd is a great day for Dong Zunhui and Gao Guiying to get married. The calendar says it is good to get married. Dong Zunhui changed into a dark green dress (officials below the sixth rank mainly use green and green official dresses), rode a tall horse, led a drum band, honor guard, floats, etc., and came to the mansion that Gao Huaide had just purchased.

At this time, the Gao family had already used three liters of millet to fill the mortar, covered the well with a mat, and stuffed three pounds of pounds into the window. Three long arrows were placed on the window to drive away ghosts and evil spirits. Gao Guiying stayed at home honestly, and for the first time, he was washing and dressed up seriously.

Dong Zunhui came to her window and recited the poem to urge makeup seriously: "It is said that the candle is lowered and the red powder is not to be in front of the mirror. Don't make up on the face without makeup, but with eyebrows waiting for the painter to paint." After reading the poem to urge makeup, he threw a large sum of money to coax the children who were staying here to be happy.

At this time, Gao Guiying wore a hat and walked out of the room with the help of the maid. The two of them met Gao Huaide together. Gao Huaide said a few words to Gao Guiying to abide by the wife's destiny in his in-laws' house, and he couldn't help but whisper to Dong Zunhui: "Daoan, treat my Guiying well and never make her sad!"

Gao Guiying, who was careless on weekdays, also cried out at this time. Gao Huaide personally put down a saddle and asked Gao Guiying to step over it to show that her family wished her a safe and smooth journey to her in-laws' house.

Dong Zunhui took the red rope and led Gao Guiying out of the door, handed her the rope for getting on the car, and took care of her getting on the car. After Gao Guiying sat down, Dong Zunhui drove the carriage himself according to the instructions of the etiquette officer and walked forward a few steps. After the wheels had rotated more than three times, he handed the reins of the carriage to the coachman and got on the horse and led the way.

The dowry that the Gao family accompanied was filled with ten large trucks. In addition to gold and silver jewelry, there were also beautiful cloths, and even land deeds for thousands of acres of land. These were all filled with exquisite wooden boxes, but they were not closed. They pressed the corners with gold ingots and deliberately revealed them.

There were crowds of people along the way, and from time to time people came forward to please the money. Fortunately, all the Suizhou Xiangjun troops were mobilized to maintain public order, so there was no trampling accident. Wang Zhengzhong had already returned to Suizhou and spoke in advance to let everyone abide by the rules. All the thieves, human traffickers, and others in Suizhou spontaneously organized to maintain social security. Dong Zunhui's five hundred elite soldiers were all wearing new clothes, wearing long swords, and standing on both sides of the road like nails, so that the people did not dare to cross. On this day, Suizhou's doors were not closed and the road was not picked up!

Soon after he arrived at the Dong family's residence, Dong Zunhui dismounted first, took Gao Guiying into the main gate, to meet his parents-in-law, ancestors and guests. Then a couple of newcomers sucked their hands and cleansed their faces; then sat opposite each other, men and women in the east, and the yin and yang junction were said to meet.

In ancient times, the most important thing for weddings was to "eat with a joint prison and drink with a joint". At this time, Dong Zunhui and Gao Guiying sat opposite each other, and there were several tables on it, with three dishes on it. The one in the middle was the Shaozhu, and there were also two staple foods on both sides.

The two sat upright here before everyone, listened to the introduction of the etiquette officer, tasted a little food on the table and finished eating. Then a waiter stepped forward and poured wine for Dong Zunhui and the other two. The wine was not for drinking, but for rinsing the mouth, three times in total, called three thighs. The first two times were used, and the next one was used. The two completed these procedures like marionettes, and then bowed to each other. Finally, the ceremony was completed and became a husband and wife.

After these ceremonies, Dong Zunhui and Gao Guiying walked into the new house together and sat on the bed, with the man and the woman on the left. At this time, a large group of women with both children stepped forward and began to sprinkle money. The money was brand new Liuzhu coins, engraved with the words "Long Live and Wealth".

After the ceremony was over, the women left one after another, and only Dong Zunhui and Gao Guiying were left in the new house. Dong Zunhui quickly got out of bed, dispersed the lively people at the door, and inserted the door latch of the new house.

When he turned his head, he found Gao Guiying lowered his head and flirted around the bed. Dong Zunhui was very puzzled. When he walked up, he saw a large piece of red dates on the bed and a lot of stuffed into the quilt, which meant that he had a noble son early. Gao Guiying found one to eat one, and was happily eating.

Dong Zunhui couldn't help laughing. He walked up to Gao Guiying and whispered: "Guiying, it's time to rest."

Gao Guiying lost her mother in her early years, and her maids were all unmarried women and had no idea about men and women. It is said that their parents should have educated their brides before marriage, but how could his father Gao Huaide think of this?!

When Gao Guiying heard Dong Zunhui say he wanted to rest, he looked up at the sun outside the window and said, "The sun has not set yet, it's too early, right? Besides, why is there a quilt on the bed? How can you sleep? By the way, can you go out for a while? I'll change the wedding dress first..."

Dong Zunhui smiled and said, "After getting married, you can just change it in front of me. Whose wife still changes clothes with her husband on her back?"

Gao Guiying made some sense when she heard this, but she was always a little uncomfortable. She blushed and slowly took off her outer clothes, revealing the white middle clothes inside, and could vaguely see the big red bellyband.

Dong Zunhui could not bear it. A hungry tiger pounced on Gao Guiying and occupied the towering place on Gao Guiying's chest with both hands.

Gao Guiying was both ashamed and angry. She was about to resist, but Dong Zunhui suddenly kissed her. She suddenly became weak and couldn't help but fall on the bed. Soon, her middle clothes and bellyband were thrown to the ground, and the bed was squeaking constantly...
