Chapter 65: Ask about marriage

Chen Yuan was still busy with his rectification plan until the evening, until Bai Yutang came to him to discuss Yan Chasan's marriage, and then he got idle.

The wedding in the Song Dynasty can be said to be very lively, and the guests who attended the wedding were definitely not as simple as giving a wedding money.

Chen Shimei was married, but of course the wedding between Chen Shimei and Qin Xianglian cannot be compared with Yan Chasan's current marriage to Liu Jinchan.

Yan Chasan is the top scorer in the new subject. Some people have to give him the top scorer questions at the wedding. Most of them are pairs and things like that. Some people also ask the groom to write poems to make a happy mood.

Then you have to read the emperor's imperial edict so that you can pick up the bride.

It is even more cumbersome to pick up the bride. Along the way, I have to give a lot of rewards for wedding money alone. I won’t talk about the grandmasters who host the wedding and the bridesmaids who send the bride. These are all things that can be paid for wedding money.

The most troublesome thing is the singing girl who holds love tokens for the newlyweds.

Most singing girls who can be invited to hold the token of love are talented, and usually sing songs to deliver tokens. When she sings a sentence, the groom has to follow the previous sentence. If she answers it, applause will sound around her. The singing girls will receive a red envelope, hand it to the groom a token, and sing the second sentence until all ten tokens of love are delivered.

Bridesmaids mainly have two tasks. Three days before the wedding, the bridesmaids and some relatives and friends have to accompany a couple to the temple to ask for a visa. After asking for a visa, the newlyweds can no longer meet. The next three days, the bridesmaids and the bride are inseparable from the next three days. Until the wedding is about to end, the groom picks a flower from the bride's crown, and the bridesmaids sing poems. The bride untie the knot on the groom's crown, and then the flowers scatter on the bed.

Flowers often symbolize sex in the images of Song Dynasty poetry, and here is no exception. After picking flowers, the groom gives the bridesmaids a wedding money, and the bridesmaids put down the curtains, which are the curtains on the bed. People gathered around them chant poems and congratulations in unison, saying and exiting the wedding room. The bridesmaids were the last to come out and close the door. Everyone went out to drink, and a couple left in the house.

The problem Yan Chasan is now facing is that he only has two good friends, Bai Yutang and Chen Yuan, in Bianjing. Moreover, because his mother was far away, she didn't have time to come here. This day was once Emperor Renzong was happy and could not be changed.

Fortunately, Bao Zheng helped and appeared as the man's parents as his mentor. However, Liu Jinchan had already spoken for the bridesmaid and hoped that Linghua could go.

After two days of getting along with Linghua, she felt very close.

Of course, Linghua would not refuse, so she agreed very simply. If you want to say that Bai Yutang is really a friend, she was still not relieved when Linghua agreed, and said to Chen Yuan: "Shimei, that's what happened. Tomorrow morning, we will go to Xiangguo Temple to ask for a visa. Today you go to bed early, and tomorrow you will be dawn. I'll catch a car to pick you up."

Chen Yuan nodded: "Don't worry, what you agreed to do is to get married. Not to mention letting Linghua be a bridesmaid, it's okay to let me be a bridesmaid."

Hu Jing, who was on the other side, suddenly remembered Chen Yuan's appearance that day, and couldn't help but smile and said, "If you go to be a bridesmaid, you will definitely be more beautiful than a diamond flower."

Chen Yuan turned around and glared at her fiercely. Bai Yutang knew the allusion and laughed loudly: "Haha, Miss Hu's words are reasonable, so that's it. If Linghua doesn't want to go, Shimei might as well feel wronged again?"

Early the next morning, Bai Yutang came to Yuelai Inn with two carriages just as dawn. After Chen Yuan explained some renovation of the inn to Manager Yang and Han Qi, he brought Linghua and Hu Jing on the carriage together.

Nearly an hour later, the carriage arrived at the gate of Xiangguo Temple. At this time, the sky was just bright and there were not many pilgrims.

The process of asking for a visa was very smooth because Xiangguo Temple was very familiar with this custom. They had a special signing station for newcomers, and all of them were signed on.

Everyone knows that this is just a program.

However, Yan Chasan was still very happy when he held the sign. Liu Jinchan was the same. The two looked at each other's eyes as if they didn't have to say anything, and their eyes were enough to express themselves.

In fact, their love has also experienced the test of life and death. I remember that Yan Chasan was willing to bear the charge of murder for Liu Jinchan's reputation. Liu Jinchan was also willing to hang himself for Yan Chasan. Both of them saw and moved the other party.

Chen Yuan also held Linghua's hand aside: "Linghua, I can't see you again in the past three days."

Linghua lowered her head and smiled slightly on her face.

Chen Yuan wanted to say something else, but Bai Yutang shouted, "Are you enough? Do you think I'm just bullying?"

Chen Yuan did not put away his hand, but Yan Chasan withdrew his eyes and clasped his fists at Bai Yutang and said, "I've neglected my brother Yutang."

Bai Yutang waved his hand and said, "Okay, what's the matter with Miss Liu? You can talk about it in three days. Now you have to go back. Miss Linghua, you and Jinchan get on a carriage first, you go first, we will follow you."

Liu Jinchan thanked Bai Yutang and Chen Yuan, looked at Yan Chafan reluctantly, and then got in the car and left.

When Bai Yutang saw them walking away, he urged Yan Chasan: "Let's go, Brother Yan, let's go back too."

Then he glanced at Hu Jing and Chen Yuan: "What should you do? Are you going back with us now and staying here for a while?"

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "You guys go first."

Bai Yutang smiled slightly: "Okay, there are a lot of carriages in a while, so it's very convenient to carry one back. Let's go back first."

Hu Jing didn't say a word when Chen Yuan was talking, but when Bai Yutang left, the ladylike look disappeared immediately. He reached out and twisted Chen Yuan's arm: "Why don't you go back? Didn't you say there are many things waiting for you to do in the store?"

Chen Yuan screamed softly, and was used to being pinched and twisted by her occasionally. After rubbing it with her hands, he said, "I suddenly wanted to ask for our marriage. What does the heroine think of my idea?"

Hu Jing smiled now and pulled Chen Yuan's arm: "Let's go!"

The two walked forward side by side, but Hu Jing did not go to the place where Yan Chasan and their requested the visa. She also knew that the signs in that place were all given to the visa, so she insisted on finding another Buddhist temple with Chen Yuan to ask for it. There was nothing wrong with this, but she could take a closer look at the scenery of Xiangguo Temple.

In the morning, most of the novice monks were doing morning classes, and neither of them knew that there was a Buddhist temple to ask about marriage. Anyway, it was nothing, so it was better to take a walk. Chen Yuan left too hastily last time and was in a hurry to find Linghua, but this time he was very leisurely.
