The eighth day of the third lunar month is an auspicious day for Si Xu to get married.

Fu Li and Xue Xiao lived in the Si Mansion the day before, and this morning they also followed Si Xu to get up early.

Seeing Si Xu dressed in a scarlet wedding dress and a plain scarf on his head, standing in front of a bronze mirror taller than a person, he kept turning around, lowering his head to check to see if there was anything wrong.

Because he got up early, Xue Xiao leaned against Fu Li halfway, yawning uncontrollably with his mouth covered, his eyes misty, "Brother Si Xu, you are definitely handsome, suave and graceful today, please tell us Are you ready to go? You are almost running out of time."

Si Xu glanced back at him, then continued to stare at himself in the mirror, "Today is my small admission, one of the four great happy events in my life, don't be careless, just wait for me for a while."

As soon as the words fell, the steward of the Sifu rushed in, pulled Si Xu out, and kept saying, "Brother, if you don't leave, you will miss the auspicious time."

Seeing Si Xu staggering a little bit, Xue Xiao laughed out loud, and was chased away when he was dozing off, and followed behind with Fu Li.

"Zuoyue, come back with me to marry your eldest lady!" Si Xu handsomely turned on his horse, shouted to ride, clamped the horse's belly, the horse began to jog forward, and the musicians behind him also started to beat gongs Drumming, so lively.

The Si mansion is half a block away from the bride's home in Yangzhou City, and the music is played continuously along the way, attracting passers-by to stop and watch, children clapping their hands and shouting "Marry the bride, marry the bride!"

Si Xu sat on the horse and nodded with a smile. The welcoming procession was huge and mighty. The servants were holding colorful flags and carrying sedan chairs to marry the bride.

Arriving at Yuan's Mansion, Si Xu stepped on the stirrups and got off the horse, and brought the matchmaker to welcome the bride, but was stopped outside the mansion.

"Brothers, what is the meaning of this?" Si Xu was a little puzzled.

"Don't worry, don't worry, why did my sister of the Yuan family tell you to marry me easily? If you can't pass five trials and kill six generals, please go back and forth today." A brother of the bride replied, then The provocative tone came across.

"I am married to this relative today, so please come over here!" Si Xu faced the difficulties without any fear.

"I heard that you are good at doing business. You must be good at arithmetic. I have a problem. Please solve it. Please listen carefully: One rooster is worth five, one hen is worth three, one chick is worth one, and a hundred can buy a hundred." Chicken, how many are the roosters, hens, and chicks?" The second brother of the Yuan family posed this question with some complacency.

Hearing this arithmetic problem, Si Xu frowned and thought about it, Xue Xiao and Fu Li were also helping to figure out the answer.

"Eight roosters, eleven hens, and 81 chicks." The three answered the question in unison.

"Okay, you guys have passed this question, now I will test your Fu?" The Yuan family brother asked another question afterward.

"Brother, please enlighten me." Si Xu saluted him, signaling him to make a move.

"Wu Bei Lu lives alone," the eldest brother of the Yuan family quickly said the Shanglian.

Si Xu pondered for a while, and immediately confronted "The chickens in Xixi are crowing together".

Seeing that Si Xu was facing each other so quickly, the eldest brother of the Yuan family glanced at the trees on the side of the road, and wrote the first couplet again, "Silkworms make cocoons and weave silk brocades to warm the world."

"I'll come, Lang Sheng has nothing to write and write beautiful articles to spread to the world." Seeing that Si Xu was a little bit embarrassed, Fu Li matched the first and second couplets after a little thought.

"Okay, what a great one to write beautiful articles and pass them on to the world. This brother is very knowledgeable. I don't know if he has a wife. I also have a second sister who is still in the boudoir." The eldest brother of the Yuan family listened to Fu Li's couplet, hearty Laughing, a little pity, and began to sell his sister to him.

"Brother, you're a bit off topic. Today is my home game, so feel free to use any tricks." When Si Xu heard that something was wrong, he hurriedly made fun of it.

"Yes, yes, seeing that the auspicious time is coming soon, I won't embarrass you, just write a reminder poem." The elder brother of the Yuan family patted his forehead, and then asked his personal servant to send a gift to Si Xu. Pen, ink and paper, let him write poetry.

After taking the pen and paper, Si Xu felt moved, and wrote on the paper, writing several quizzes in succession.Two of them are better, one is "It is rumored that the candles will be lowered to adjust the red powder, and the spring will not be in front of the mirror stand. You don't need to make up your face, but keep your eyebrows for painting." The second is "I will travel to Yujing in the past, The first immortal, Xu Zhuangtou. Today, I am fortunate to be the Qin Jinhui, and teach Luanfeng to go to the make-up building early."

After the makeup poem was over, the elder brother of the Yuan family hurriedly asked for the poem to be delivered to the bride. The bride's friends all read the poem and praised Si Xu's literary talent.

"Early teaching Luanfeng to go to the makeup building, it can be seen that our groom can't wait long ago. I wonder if the bride is willing to go to the makeup building?" A friend read this poem to make fun of the newlyweds, which made the brides put on powder A faint blush appeared on the cheeks, making the makeup look more coquettish and pleasant.

A personal maid was brought in, and the newlyweds whispered a few words in her ear, and the maid nodded and hurried out.

"Let the bridegroom enter the mansion!" The eldest brother of the Yuan family yelled this sentence, and the people who had surrounded the door gave way to Si Xu and his party.

As the servants kept reporting Si Xu's progress, when Si Xu stepped into the courtyard gate, the newlywed's mother covered her with a red hijab, and handed her hand into Si Xu's.

After that, he bid farewell to his parents and went out with his elder brother on his back.

The moment she walked out of the mansion, the newlywed who was lying on her brother's back was sore and unbearable, and couldn't help sobbing in a low voice, which made Si Xu's heart ache.

"Get up the sedan chair." The matchmaker gave the order, and the bearer lifted up the sedan chair steadily, followed Si Xu who was riding a horse, and started walking in the direction of Si's mansion.

Listening to the blowing and beating outside the sedan chair, the newlywed wiped her tears gently with a handkerchief, feeling a little hopeful and a little apprehensive, not knowing what the future would be like.

Same as when we came, when we left, passers-by still sent sincere blessings to the new couple, and the matchmaker also threw candy from the small basket in her hand to the roadside, causing everyone to loot.

The welcoming team went all the way to the gate of the Si Mansion, Si Xu got off his horse, shot an arrow and kicked the sedan door, and then the matchmaker led the bride off the sedan chair, stuffed both ends of the red silk and satin into the hands of the two, and led the couple in. government.

"The bride crosses the brazier, and her life will be prosperous in the future." After stepping over the brazier, the matchmaker said a congratulatory speech, and the matchmaker would do the same after every subsequent ceremony.

After entering the main room, the two stood in front of the mat, waiting for the master of ceremonies.

"Bow to heaven and earth!" the master of ceremonies sang.

The two turned around and bowed deeply facing the door.

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

Turning back again, he bowed deeply to the superior Si Fu Si Mu.

"Bye husband and wife!"

Listening to the libretto, Si Xu and the new bride stood face to face and saluted.

"Licheng! Send it to the bridal chamber." The master of ceremonies shouted.

Si Xu led the newlyweds by the hand, and followed the matchmaker back to the new house.
