Chapter 349 Customs(1/2)
At around one o'clock, Yang Chengyi received the latest information. The groom's wedding convoy was only two or three kilometers away from here, and it was time for the bride's family to put on a show.
Mo Zhaojie's men had already lined up in a long formation, placing hundreds of long firecrackers and fireworks cannons on the road and beside the venue, and each of them also had a box of reserve ammunition beside him.
Zhaojie is worthy of being the person responsible for safety and strictly prevents children and passers-by from approaching the fire zone.
"Light the fire!" As Yang Chengyi took the microphone and shouted the order, more than a dozen ignition hands immediately took action.
It only took a few seconds for the band to take a break. The high-power speakers could not compete with the power of hundreds of firecrackers exploding at the same time. Smoke suddenly rose and enveloped the surrounding area.
This kind of scene is rare, everyone is in high spirits, and the igniters are even more excited and dancing, they continue to increase the firepower, throw out the firecrackers in the box one after another and light them.
Apart from the bride, everyone in Lu Laosan's family was watching the fun. Yang Chengyi was also very happy. He even took the microphone and loudly reminded him to save ammunition, so as not to lose his momentum later.
This is also a custom. The bride's family and the welcoming team have to set off firecrackers in opposite directions. Generally speaking, the welcoming team sets off first, and the bride's family hears the playback. The more the better. Lu Laosan obviously will not lose to the in-laws in this aspect.
Yes, everyone said that today’s groom only has good looks and good character, but he is not a good match.
Xiao Shuxia raised her voice so that Yang Jingxing could hear clearly: "Look, if you don't work hard, you won't be able to find a wife in the future." She smiled with her face full of peach blossoms.
After a while, someone rushed over from the smoke and said that the wedding convoy had arrived. Yang Chengyi announced loudly, and a large group of people immediately rushed into the smoke and went to the road to watch the show.
There was also a person in charge of the groom's family. He trotted up again with a big belly, panting and coughing in the smoke, and met Yang Chengyi, who was familiar with him. The two shouted and informed each other of the situation.
It should be that according to the agreement, the groom's family came with 23 cars and 43 people. Yang Chengyi said that when he went back later, the bride's family would arrange 43 cars with 57 people. It was about pomp and circumstance.
However, the current focus is on the opponent's firecrackers. Although it is difficult to see clearly due to the smoke, but listening to the momentum a few hundred meters away, it is obvious that the groom's family does not want to lose firepower to the bride's family.
The heated exchange between the two sides lasted for more than a quarter of an hour. Yang Chengyi finally relented. The steward of the groom's family thanked him profusely and ran back to tell him the good news.
Under Mo Zhaojie's command, the crowd near the bride's house slowly stopped, while the wedding team put on a show of great energy and finally died down.
According to custom, at this time, the bearer of the wedding team should be the first to go to the bride's house on foot alone.
The forty-year-old man wearing a shiny suit, leather boots, and leather boots obviously didn’t know how to carry a load. Fortunately, the beautiful load wasn’t heavy either. With hundreds of people on the left and right waiting to watch, the man walked as fast as he could.
He bowed and saluted Yang Chengyi from afar.
There was nothing good or cash in the load, which was the traditional request for picking the head. "Have a son early", as well as sugar, noodles, evergreens, pine branches...
After Yang Chengyi symbolically checked the burden, he loudly and happily announced that the groom could come to marry the bride.
Another burst of firecrackers was set off, but the time was quite short.
The wedding team came over, and although there were quite a few people there, it was dwarfed by Lu Laosan's army of relatives and friends, so everyone including the groom seemed a little uneasy.
Mo Zhaojie acted mischievously under the permission of custom and asked his own people to block the team and only allowed the other party's steward to pass. The steward quickly handed the red envelope and cigarette to Yang Chengyi, and Yang Chengyi distributed those things one by one to those who are busy today.
Outsiders, including Yang Jingxing.
Mo Zhaojie's group of people were still yelling, saying that they were also helping and wanted red envelopes and cigarettes, otherwise they would not be allowed to go. The wedding manager asked Yang Chengyi for a few words, but Yang Chengyi made things difficult according to custom, and then happily let Mo
Zhaojie lets him go.
The next step is for the groom to face the test. Accompanied by the steward, he has to go one by one, regardless of age or gender, to greet the relatives and friends of the bride's family.
The groom was a good-looking man, and seemed to be very polite and sincere. He was the first to offer cigarettes to Yang Chengyi and Xiao Shuxia. They had to hold on to the cigarettes, otherwise they would lose face.
The steward introduced Yang Jingxing to the groom: "Boss Yang's son, today he is my uncle!"
Xiao Shuxia burst into laughter with pride, and the groom couldn't be more pleased with Yang Jingxing, so he sent another red envelope.
After a series of steps, it was finally Xiao Shuxia's turn. She dragged Yang Jingxing and a bunch of women to the bride's boudoir, and Yang Jingxing became the only adult male in the boudoir.
The bride was dressed beautifully in her wedding dress, but maybe she was too tired, so she didn’t look special. The bride’s mother introduced Yang Jingxing to the bride, and it turned out that both of them still remembered that they had met a few years ago.
Although Lu Laosan did not have a biological son, the bride must have cousins. However, I don’t know how he and Yang Chengyi discussed it, so he gave Yang Jingxing the task of carrying the bride out of her parents’ home later.
Before going out, there is one most important step, which is to eat. What was brought in was a small bowl of rice, a braised fish, and an egg.
The bride's mother sits down on the bedside, and the bride sits on her mother's lap, just like she did when she was a child. Someone has to feed her, and the custom is to have the female elder, who is the very lucky one. Generally speaking,
Grandma or grandma, but today this task was snatched away by Xiao Shuxia again. Fortunately, the bride's grandma looked on and didn't look unhappy.
The bride's mother hugged her daughter, and Xiao Shuxia began to feed her, a mouthful of rice and a mouthful of fish, and at the same time she said some words to wish her daughter a good wife and mother.
After watching her daughter eat a few mouthfuls of food, the bride's mother held her daughter's hand with both hands, rubbed her forehead against her daughter's head, and shed tears.
The bride looked at her mother, chewed her rice and called out "Mom" in a choked voice, and then she shed tears.
The women, who had already had enough energy, immediately began to offer various blessings, but the effect was to add fuel to the flames, but the women were not surprised and were quite happy.
The bride and mother were crying profusely, and a woman suddenly discovered something strange: "Oh... is it really my uncle who doesn't want his sister to go out?"
A group of people took a look and saw Yang Jingxing standing tall and tall behind him, also in tears.
Now the person who was crying started to laugh, and Yang Jingxing explained: "I want to pretend to be a little more cool."
Xiao Shuxia lectured Yang Jingxing: "You think it will be easy for your parents to raise you, but the last thing you want to do is become a mother."
The bride's mother started crying again, causing a group of aunts to condemn Xiao Shuxia, saying that she had no daughter and that her son was a troublemaker to other people's daughters.
Xiao Shuxia was still happy.
After the bride finished a bowl of rice, she ate the eggs, and that was it. Then a group of people laughed and taught Yang Jingxing how to hold the bride, and they must not stop, let alone let the bride's feet fall to the ground.
The bride was a little embarrassed: "I have one hundred and one." She seemed to be conservative.
Yang Jingxing said: "It's so light, no problem."
After the wedding team had had enough of waiting, Yang Chengyi loudly announced through the loudspeaker that the bride could be sent out.
The firecrackers prepared by the groom's family went off, and the bride stood at the edge of the bed. Yang Jingxing carefully picked her up by her waist and lifted her legs. Accompanied by a group of women, she carefully went out and went downstairs.
Zhou Yiyu and the others also changed their clothes and identities, and were now the bridesmaids. They followed Yang Jingxing's footsteps and arranged the hem of their wedding dress.
It's **, the band is playing hard, firecrackers are exploding unbridled, and the crowd is excited and noisy.
Yang Jingxing held the bride in his arms and walked steadily amidst the laughter, followed closely by the groom and others. The bride was quite shy and hid her face behind Yang Jingxing's head.
Xiao Shuxia was the happiest, telling the photographers next to her to take good pictures, and also told Yang Jingxing to be more careful.
After getting on the highway, Yang Jingxing carefully put the bride into the back seat of the main wedding car that drove up. Everyone knew that the brand new top-of-the-range Porsche Cayenne was a dowry given by Lu Laosan, and it was Jiuchun's first car. This was considered
Lu Laosan has contributed to Jiuchun, and luxury cars are already filling the streets in neighboring counties.
The newlyweds thanked their uncle for his hard work, and Yang Jingxing also wished him well: "I wish you a long life together."
The bridesmaids went up from the other side of the car door, because the bride's buttocks could not move along the way.
Yang Chengyi was busy arranging the procession for seeing off relatives again, shaking hands everywhere to thank relatives and friends on behalf of Lu Laosan and his family.
Yang Jingxing got in the car and was ready to leave at any time. The singer of the band came over and leaned against the car window, panting: "...can you leave your contact information? I really want to communicate with people in your circle if I have the opportunity."
Yang Jingxing said: "I spend most of my time in Puhai, so I'm not considered to be in the circle."
The singer looked very serious: "I have never had the opportunity to meet people like you. I really want to know what you are like."
Yang Jingxing smiled: "Nothing special."
The singer looked at the long queue in the car and asked, "Do you think I can develop?"
Yang Jingxing asked: "What are you referring to?"
The singer hehe: "It's just singing... career."
Yang Jingxing asked: "Are you part-time or full-time?"
The singer said: "It's a part-time job."
Yang Jingxing nodded: "It's better to work part-time, but it's difficult to do it full-time as a hobby."
The singer said: "There is a website that is quite big. I can record my own songs and put them on it. It says that record companies and managers will choose them. Is this true?"
Yang Jingxing shook his head: "I don't know... I guess it's fake."
"But someone signed it," the singer said.
Yang Jingxing said: "I don't understand this aspect."
The singer was in a dilemma: "Then do you think I can sing well?"
Yang Jingxing nodded: "You can sing well, but my personal opinion is that there are many people who are interested in singing and can sing well, but if you want to do it as a career, it is not as simple as just singing."
The singer was stunned for a moment and asked: "What do you mean, you mean... unspoken rules?"
Yang Jingxing shook his head repeatedly: "No... I'm just a songwriter and don't understand the market."
The singer said: "But you must know some agents, bosses..."
Yang Jingxing smiled: "Do you think they will take me seriously?"
The singer was a little embarrassed: "We've always known each other."
Yang Jingxing regretted: "But they don't know me."
The singer smiled: "Forget it."
Yang Jingxing added: "You sing really well, but now is the age of idols, you have to be young and beautiful..."
The singer said: "Actually, my makeup is not bad, and my figure is pretty well maintained. Many celebrities can still look young in their thirties and forties..."
Yang Jingxing said: "Sorry, I don't understand this aspect either."
The singer really gave it up this time.
