Chapter 160

The next day in Dali City, it happened to be the auspicious wedding day on the sixth day of June. Five or six couples all held a wedding together. However, the most eye-catching one was the wedding of Miss Huang Jiada, who monopolized the cloth industry in Dali City, and Duan Chunyi, a Ziqi military commander of Zhuque department.

Although Huang family was a northerner who migrated to Dali, his status as a businessman was not high. Duan Chunyi, as a powerful officer, was a southerner, so Huang family was arranged according to the marriage custom of southerners. However, as a merchant, he is rich and powerful. The day before his marriage is known as the wedding day in southern customs. The Huang family invited all the famous artists in Dali city to Duan Chunyi's house to light a bonfire, play, play and sing, and set up more than 30 tables of wine and food banquet. The so-called wine and food banquet is a water banquet with preserves, drinks and tea, which can be enjoyed by anyone passing by, Drink a cup for the new blessing, such a big movement naturally make Duan Chun a great face. The day before yesterday, it came out from Yingbei Marquis's mansion that Guan Haotian, the Marquis of Yingbei, was going to marry Duan Chunyi in Duan's house. The news that Gufan, the second son of marquis Pingyuan, who was famous in Lincang City World War I, wanted to be the best man for Duan Chunyi immediately eclipsed several other couples. Almost all the people in Dali city rushed to the road from Duan Chunyi's house to Huang's house, competing to see the groom and the best man.

In the early morning of this day, Gu fan followed Duan's servants to Duan Chunyi's home. He saw Gu Shun, the black flag army's yunqi captain. They passed a battle of life and death in Lincang City before. At this time, they met as if they had been friends for a long time, and they got acquainted with each other. Gu fan was surrounded by people. He wore the same clothes as Duan Chunyi. He was wearing a white silk suit, a black vest and a white cloth on his head. It was really novel. The guests took Duan Chunyi out of the room, and his father hung a big red flower for him. Duan Chun got up and mounted the horse. Gu fan and Gu Shun also mounted the horse, and the wedding procession started with a crowd of musicians.

When they passed the main road of Dali City, hundreds of maids with flower baskets suddenly appeared on the upper floors of the two roads. They shook the flowers in the baskets and scattered them on the bridegroom, the best man and the bride.

Gu fan saw a petal floating in front of him. He was about to reach out to catch it, but he sneezed suddenly. The petal was stained with chili powder? When he hesitated, the sneezing of the whole welcoming team "ah Che, ah Che..." came one after another, which immediately attracted the laughter of the flower sprinkling women on the street.

Duan Chunyi didn't need to open the petals in front of him, sneezed a few times, and said to Gu fan with a smile: "little Marquis doesn't know. In our southern dialect," spicy "and" pro "have similar pronunciation, so the petals need to be stained with... Ah, cut..." he sneezed again and said: "we need to be stained with chili powder to show intimacy... Ah, cut!" Duan Chunyi sneezed several times again, then turned around and yelled: "go, go, or you'll have to kiss me too much..." this sentence immediately attracted a burst of laughter from the welcoming team behind him, and consciously accelerated his pace to follow up.

When the wedding procession left, the maids upstairs began to talk about it one after another: "the one next to him should be Gufan, the prince of the plain Marquis's mansion. He's very handsome!"

"Yes, after all, it's a famous family in the capital."

"Although he is young, it is said that he has made great achievements this time. There are rumors in the alley that he might be promoted to deputy commander."

"If only I could marry a husband like that."

"You ladies, you are not shy. Come and help. The bride will be back soon..." the old lady interrupted the girls' conversation in a gruff voice, and the upstairs along the street began to be busy again.

When the wedding procession arrived at the gate of the yellow house, it was a five in five out house imitating the architectural style of the northerners. At this time, it was already covered with red silk. Even the two stone lions in front of the door were torn into big flowers by six or seven high-grade red satins.

As soon as Duan Chun reined in his horse, the musicians behind him immediately kept quiet. Duan Chun held his breath, stretched out his right hand and suddenly poked three times at the ground in front of him. A visible and qualitative air sword came out and exploded on the ground in front of Huang's house.

As the smoke and dust dispersed, the musicians behind him suddenly began to play and sing again. They enthusiastically took Duan Chun and Gu fan off the horse and swarmed into the yellow house.

"Huang Fu's new son-in-law is worthy of being a member of the family. The young men of other families have to use local explosives to greet each other. He is very good. He makes such a big noise with his hands." An old man watching nearby could not help but say: "it's really lucky that the Huang family has a good son-in-law."

When Duan Chunyi and Gu fan enter the inner hall, they see the bride in red satin crying and being helped out. Duan Chunyi leads the bride and the bridesmaid to the sedan chair, but leaves the bridesmaid in the sedan chair, holds the bride, flies on the horse, greets Gu fan and Gu Shun, and runs to Duan's house.

When Gu fan was at a loss, Gu Shun rode to Gu fan and said with a smile, "young Marquis, it's the first time you've seen it. We're used to it. This is also the custom of southerners. They are afraid to embarrass the bride. After a while, the bridesmaid who stays in the sedan chair will be the bride's stand in. They will be sprinkled with rice and pinched by children. "

Gu fan nodded slightly and understood a little, but Gu Shun said: "little Marquis, I forgot to tell you that there is another custom of southerners, that is, the slowest best man should be the bridegroom's stand in, drinking chili wine and eating chili noodles. Ha ha!" With that, Gu Shun pulled out his mount and went away.

Gu fan thought of the chili powder he had sprinkled when he came over. Now he felt a chill in his stomach. He didn't dare to delay. He nipped the horse's stomach and bit Gu Shun tightly to catch up with him. Duan Chunyi, Gu fan and Gu Shun are both generals in the army after all. Their riding skills are much better than those of the ordinary southerners. But after a while, they come to Duan's house through the streets. At this time, the outside of the house was already full of people who wanted to be happy. Gu Shun was ready. He reached into his arms and grabbed a handful of copper coins. Before the first coins fell, he threw several more. The crowd began to fight for the wedding money one after another. Duan Chunyi gasped. He helped the bride off the horse and carried her into the courtyard. Gu fan and Gu Shun just stepped into the door. Although they were both martial arts experts, they were also a little short of breath at this time. Gu fan looked at Gu Shun with a sneer and said, "how about going to eat chili noodles and drink chili wine?"“ Hehe... Little Marquis... "Gu Shun leaned against the door, pointed to the door with a smile and said," I didn't say that we are the best men... Naturally, someone will help us eat chili noodles and drink chili wine! " After about half an hour, the following welcoming teams also continued to arrive, and the crowd who wanted to get rich swarmed up again. After another chaos, it was finally time for the wedding ceremony. To Gu fan's slight surprise, Minghui, the commander of Zhuque department, yanlongjun, the deputy commander of Zhuque department, and the four Fenwu captains under his command were all present. It can be said that they gave Duan Chunyi enough face. Censer futon, heaven and earth as evidence. Just as the ceremony was about to begin, someone suddenly yelled at the door, "the envoy of Yingbei marquis is is coming!" The crowd of onlookers immediately separated a road for five people to pass. They saw that the people who came were wearing plain robes. Although the costumes were simple, the steps with pearls and jade on their feet highlighted the prominent identity of the young warrior. Behind him were two teenagers holding a long box, who were obviously the servants in the mansion. When Gu fan saw that man walking, he had a great bearing. At first glance, he knew that he was a master who had already stepped into the heaven level. When he thought of the two Heaven level warriors who helped him last time in Lincang City, Gu fan vaguely guessed that he should be the one in front of him. The young warrior walked up to Duan Chunyi, arched his hand and said, "Lord Duan, I'm Qi Yunlong under the command of Yingbei marquis. Our Marquis has prepared a small gift to celebrate his wedding." Then he stretched out his hand backward, and the two boys stepped forward, put the long box on the table, slowly opened it, took out the two boxes wrapped in red brocade, put them in front of the table, and bowed down. Qi Yunlong said: "this is a special gift prepared by the Marquis for the two newlyweds. In the box on the left is a top-grade elixir yaoyang Dan, and on the right is a Yuehua Dan. The efficacy of Yuehua Dan is weak. Even if his wife doesn't practice martial arts, she can prolong her life and stay young." As soon as the words were heard, all the guests around were shocked. Although Guan Haotian didn't come to testify Duan Chunyi's marriage, he asked his cronies to send two top-grade pills as a gift. His generous hand was amazing. Gu fan is the only one who knows best. In the past, Guan Hao did not know how many unfortunate friars' pockets he had touched during the northern expedition. These two top-grade pills were just a drop in the bucket. In fact, Gu fan thinks that Guan Haotian's asking Qi Yunlong to give gifts on his behalf is far more brilliant than the one who personally came to the scene to marry Duan Chunyi. He also bribes people's hearts, but he won't be broken by the wedding invitation from the middle-level officers of Shuntian army because of this precedent. Sure enough, Duan Chunyi and Huang took over two boxes. Duan Chunyi's voice was choked“ Thanks to Ying Beihou, Mr. Duan will make great efforts to contribute to the country. " Qi Yunlong gave a faint smile, arched his hand to Duan Chun and said, "Mr. Duan, there are still things to do in the northern Marquis's residence. I'll go back first."“ Please... "As soon as Duan Chun reaches out his hand, Qi Yunlong salutes Ming Hui and others, turns around and walks out of the gate. When Qi Yunlong came out of Duan's house, the crowd could not help making a sound of discussion. A moment later, Gu fan and Gu Shun, together with the brothers of the Duan family, stood on the left, while the brothers of the Huang family stood on the right. Duan's father and Ming Hui sat on the top, and accepted the salute of the couple and gave their blessing. Fortunately, this time, Ming Hui didn't make the mistake of hanging a book when he wrote a congratulatory letter to Gu fan last time. He just said a few words such as "eternal union" and "a hundred years of love". Soon Duan Chun took the bride and was sent to the bridal chamber by the crowd. Gu fan and Gu Shun were finally relieved. Under the arrangement of Huang Fu's servants, they sat down on the first round table on the left.
