Chapter 521 No Reading with Flowers and Candles in the Bridal Room
The flowers are fragrant and the moon is cloudy. A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
Zhu Ping'an only read a book in the room for a while when his mother, Mrs. Chen, who came back from making a bed in the new house, rushed her to the new house. Tonight is Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu's bridal night. It is said that a moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, but tonight's time is extremely precious, and Mrs. Chen also wants to have her grandson one day early.
Reading a book?
It’s time to have wedding flowers and candles, so what books should I read? How important is passing on the family line!
So, when Mrs. Chen came back and saw Zhu Pingan still reading in the room, she drove Zhu Pingan to the new house without saying a word.
Zhu's father and his eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan hung up two strings of firecrackers in the alley between the old house and the new house. When Zhu Ping'an was dragged out by Mrs. Chen, they lit the firecrackers, crackling, and the joy suddenly came out. .
Generally speaking, the bridal night is held on the day of the wedding, but there are some exceptions for Zhu Pingan and Li Shu. They were still at sea on the day of the wedding, so their bridal night was not made up until today. . As usual, onlookers would make noise in the bridal chamber during the bridal night, but Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu's wedding night was separated from the wedding, so there was no need for bridal party disturbances.
Having a wedding in the bridal chamber is a traditional Chinese wedding custom. The main purpose of having a bridal chamber is not to play tricks on the bride and groom, but to ward off evil spirits. When there are many people, the yang energy is strong, and the ghosts and evil spirits that cause trouble are driven away, bringing safety and blessings to the newlyweds. .
Zhu's father and his eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan set off firecrackers to replace the bridal chamber environment and achieve the effect of warding off evil spirits.
"Get some rest now." Father Zhu glanced at Zhu Ping'an, nodded and said.
What Zhu's father said was relatively reserved. In comparison, what his mother, Chen, said was much more straightforward. When Chen pushed Zhu Ping'an, who was wearing the groom's clothes, into the new house, he told her straightforwardly: "Add more Work harder and let your mother hold her grandson soon.”
Work harder? !
To Li Shu?
Wouldn’t that be killing minors? !
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an almost stumbled over the threshold. How could he do something to an underage girl?
"Look at how excited this silly boy is." Upon seeing this, his mother, Mrs. Chen, covered her mouth and smiled. When I got up, I thought Zhu Ping'an couldn't wait.
After Zhu Ping'an was pushed into the door, his mother, Mrs. Chen, closed the door of the new house from the outside and added heavy protection to the wedding night to prevent anyone from disturbing her.
However, after closing the door, her mother, Mrs. Chen, walked around the wall of the new house to a corner, half-crouched down without breathing, stretched her neck, and covered it with her hands. His ears were then pressed against the wall, as if he had special powers and could hear voices inside. At the end, he extended his hand to invite his eldest daughter-in-law Juaner to join him.
This. Is this the corner?
"Mom, you"
The eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan on the side had a black line on his face, and his face suddenly turned red, as if he had thought of something. On my brother's wedding night, my mother listened in the corner, so wouldn't it be the same on my own wedding night?
"Shh, do you understand society? There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having an heir. There is nothing to be ashamed of." Mother Chen glared at her eldest son. She thought her eldest son spoke too loudly and was eavesdropping. What's the fuss? Why are you talking so loudly?
Listen to the corner. In the past, people would look down on you, but this is an exception on the wedding night. On the wedding night, there will inevitably be people listening to the noise along with the wedding night. This is almost a common practice in the countryside. Although this kind of behavior is not good, it is a welcome sight on a wedding night.
Of course, even on the wedding night, this is only reserved for women.
In addition, I believe that many mothers have done such embarrassing things. Marrying a daughter-in-law for their son is to carry on the family line, so they like to hear the news that everything is going well, and they feel relieved after hearing it. If you can't hear any movement, you will still worry.
"Okay, the new house is so big, and She'er and his wife's new house are far away."
Father Zhu couldn't stand it any longer, and he grabbed Chen's arm and pulled her back with a speechless expression. . It’s not like you don’t know how big the new house is. It’s the third courtyard. It’s not like you didn’t keep an eye on it when the house was being built. This new house is in the innermost part. What can you hear here?
"You are the only one who knows better." Mrs. Chen glared at Father Zhu, then reached out and pinched Father Zhu.
Mr. Chen felt that she pinched hard, but Father Zhu's skin was rough and fleshy, so he didn't feel anything. His hand hurt, which made Ms. Chen roll his eyes.
The new house is now decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. There are red lanterns with the Chinese characters for Double Happiness, and red ribbons are tied on the trees. There are two rows of potted plants with red flowers in the yard, especially the one made of red silk hanging on the second entrance door. Flowers and ribbons hanging from both sides of the door add to the atmosphere.
"Come, come, my uncle is here."
"My uncle is finally here."
"Gee. Miss, you are not in a hurry. Look, you are in a hurry. It’s so annoying”
< br>Zhu Ping'an heard a little girl chirping as soon as he walked into the yard, and then he saw several little girls at the second door peeking in at the door, whispering to each other with excited faces, and seemed very excited.
"Hello, uncle."
"Hello, uncle."
When Zhu Pingan was about to reach the second door, several girls in pink skirts held small flower baskets and walked in small steps , came to Zhu Pingan and bent down to say hello. The rouge on his little face was very pleasing.
The little girl is not very old, about ten years old, at least two or three years younger than herself.
“Hello.”
Zhu Pingan nodded and replied, and then he was about to walk in. The door was closed by his mother, so he could only go in.
"Uncle Keke and the young lady are talented and beautiful, they are a match made in heaven; they will grow old together, and they will be together for hundreds of years; if the flowers are full and the moon is full, a child will be born soon." Several little girls giggled and blocked the door, chirping auspicious words in their little mouths , but Zhu Pingan was not allowed to go in.
I have never eaten pork, but I have also seen pigs running away.
Zhu Pingan is not a fool. It is clear at a glance what these little girls mean.
By the way, the modern bridesmaid group blocking the door to ask for red envelopes was passed down from ancient times. Although there were no bridesmaids in ancient times, there were dowry girls.
Zhu Pingan counted the girls blocking the door. There were six girls in total. Then he reached into his sleeves and took out six wrapped red envelopes. Each girl had one, which made the little girls blocking the door excited. Her little face turned red.
After giving out the red envelopes, Zhu Pingan walked inside again, but was still stopped by these girls. It was the same scene as before. Several little girls were still giggling and saying pleasant words, but they refused to let Zhu Ping'an in.
The red envelopes are accepted, but no one can enter.
Looking at the girl who was covering her mouth and giggling, Zhu Ping'an remembered the anecdote about Su Xiaomei's third groom test, and then he knew that this was probably a test before entering the new house. He probably passed this test. , there will be other tests later. (End of this chapter)
