"Xiaojiu, stop eating and go help."
I put down the dishes and went to help set the tables and chairs and hang the red ribbons. Shifu was driven back to her bedroom by Shifu for the reason that it was not appropriate for the bride to show her face before the wedding took place.
The master and the master of ceremonies were on the flow of the wedding, and the master was always repeating a phrase.
"Don't make so much trouble, just worship the heaven and earth."
At 10:00 a.m., villagers who love to get involved in the fun came one after another.
Someone got up in arms.
"Old Chen, where is the bride? Call out quickly and let us see!"
"That's right, the bride has lived in your house for half a month, and has not shown her face in the village, are you afraid of being snatched away by us!"
"I think ah, it is Chen Tian old and strong, so that the bride can not get out of bed."
This dirty talk caused the villagers to laugh and raise their voices even louder.
The Master bowed to the villagers.
"Folks, don't laugh at me, when the wedding is going on, I'll make sure you can see the bride, I've prepared tea and melon seeds for everyone, let's sit down and chat and chatter, OK?"
The villagers have settled down and the courtyard is bustling like a food market.
I poured water for everyone and an aunt took my hand enthusiastically.
"Xiaojiu has grown so big, tall and handsome, do you have a date? What do you think of Auntie's girl?"
I refused in a hurry.
"Auntie, I'm only eighteen this year, I'm not old enough to get married!"
"Don't be afraid! In our village, which one of us is not married first, and then make up the certificate when we are old enough! Tomorrow, my aunt will bring my daughter to play with you, so you can make friends."
I was overwhelmed by the enthusiastic aunt, but the MC helped me out.
"You are the groom's disciple, right? Go and stick this picture in the groom's bedroom, the bride is inside and we can't go in."
"Hey, good!"
I took the painting and hurried away to the master's bedroom.
"Sifu, it's me, I'm going in to deliver something."
Pushing open the door, Sifu was sitting in front of the dressing table, putting on her own makeup.
Painted makeup, she is more beautiful than when we first met, a red dress phoenix clothes, obviously a fox spirit, but gives a feeling of fairy air.
The master of ceremonies gave me a baby painting, painted with a pair of dragon and phoenix fetus, the wedding room paste baby painting is our custom here, meaning early birth.
Shifu took a look and showed an expression of disgust.
"Don't post it, I look disgusting."
I ignored her and put the painting up myself.
She was a little angry and her red lips were open, as if she wanted to argue with me for a couple of minutes...
I gagged her with the words.
"It's not time to do it yet, act natural, the way you look now, it's easy to show your face."
Dumbfounded, Shifu put her hand on her chest and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
Then, in a calm tone, she asked me.
"What are your chances of winning?"
I'll be honest.
"I don't know."
I turned to leave, leaving a message on the way out the door.
"I will not resign myself to fate anyway."
Walking out of the room, I continued to entertain guests with enthusiasm, and I keenly noticed that from time to time, Master would glance at me with anxious eyes.
Perhaps, he is impatient.
At 11:00 a.m., the villagers had all arrived, the emcee turned on the sound, and after singing "Good Day", he leaped onto the stage that had just been built.
"Distinguished guests, dear ladies and gentlemen, and lovely children, good noon, everyone!"
The villagers chatting about their families stopped and their eyes converged on the stage.
The emcee spoke in a more enthusiastic tone.
"Today is a day full of auspiciousness and festivity, all our friends and relatives are gathered together to attend the wedding of Mr. Chen Tian and Ms. Hu Mei, to celebrate this match made in heaven and the lovers are finally married!
Now, let's give a warm applause to our groomsman today, Mr. Chen Tian, everyone welcome!"
Accompanied by the villagers' applause and shouting, the master walked onto the stage with a glowing face.
The emcee joked.
"Aiya, I originally thought in our four miles and eight villages, there is no more handsome man than me, but today I saw the groom, but I am a little ashamed of myself, so I understand what is Pan An appearance, Xu Gong beauty!"
Master would have been half a head of white hair, face wrinkled, the emcee's words provoked laughter from the villagers.
"Do you know why our groomsmen are so handsome? Because people are in good spirits when they are happy! Since ancient times, there are four happy events in life, respectively, the long drought to meet the manna, the hometown to meet the old acquaintance, the night of the bridal chamber, the golden ranking, I do not know our groom, is encountered with what happy events ah?"
The villagers started to raise a ruckus and the whole yard was in chaos.
The more lively the atmosphere, the more calm my heart is, as if all this has nothing to do with me.
After a while, the emcee shouted in a high voice.
"Let's bring out the beautiful bride with a big applause!"
The eyes of all the villagers converged on one place, only to see Shifu's red shoes on her feet, walking out of the room.
I saw amazement and jealousy in the eyes of many young men.
I heard someone exclaim.
"It's beautiful!"
As soon as Shifu appeared, she attracted all the attention. She slowly walked up to the stage and came in front of Shifu.
Next, the emcee gave another boring speech that he didn't know how many times he had used, and then, at the urging of the villagers, he said in a loud voice.
"The auspicious time has arrived, the bride and groom are invited to worship the heaven and earth!"
"One worship to heaven and earth!"
"Second Worship!"
"Husband and wife worship!"
"The ceremony is complete! Congratulations to the bridegroom Chen Tian bride Hu Mei tied the knot!"
After worshipping the heaven and earth, the master mother silently went back to the house, next, is the banquet.
Big fish and meat on the table, white wine and beer to open the cap, the villagers eat well and drink well, have toasted to the master.
This wedding banquet, a total of two hours to eat before the end, the master drunkenly sent away the master of ceremonies and cooks, the courtyard is a mess.
After sending off the guests, Master closed the courtyard door, which he unlocked when it was clearly daytime.
I knew that he was going to do it.
I took two empty wine glasses that no one had used, then picked up an unfinished bottle of wine from the floor and poured it into a wine glass.
At the moment, Master is rubbing his face hard with his own palms, trying to clear his head.
Taking the opportunity that he did not open his eyes, I put the snake venom demon crystal given by the master mother, into the wine glass.
The broken diamond-like snake venom demon crystal, just into the wine will disappear without a trace.
Of course, this wine is not for the master, if I give him the poisonous wine, it will be found by the evil spirits hiding in him.
This glass of wine is for myself.
I carried the wine and came to the Master.
"Master, just now you were busy, I could not find the opportunity to give you a toast, now that the guests have left, let's both have a drink!"
I know my master well, he loves wine and will definitely pick it up.
As expected, Master took the glass from my hand.
He said to me with some guilt.
"Today is your birthday, master is busy with the wedding, also did not prepare a gift for you, back to be sure to make up."
I replied with a smile.
"Master you are welcome, these eighteen years, you are always taking care of me, I owe you too much, do not dare to have other extravagant requests, I respect you!"
After saying that, I tilted my head and poured the wine into my mouth!
