Chapter 100 Shili Hongzhuang
The wedding date was set, and all the people from the Hengshan Sect took action.

Is there not enough red silk in Hengshan County?

Has the food supply in Hengshan County been drained?

All the wooden boxes of all sizes in Hengshan County are sold out?
Liu Zhengfeng waved his hand and asked Mi Weiyi to lead a group of Hengshan disciples to Tanzhou for procurement.

The other major sects also wanted to help, but except for Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze who understood some of the rules of marriage, everyone else only had a vague understanding.

At this moment, the ten major sects had to face up to one thing, that is, there were only a handful of people in their sects who went through the formal marriage process!

After realizing this, Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Hengshan and Taishan are not so bad, after all, they are mostly monks.

The other five factions are somewhat annoying.

At this time, Hengshan County Magistrate Zhou Tong came to Liu Zhengfeng and said that due to the large-scale purchases made by Liu's house in the past two days, some lawless elements had some dangerous ideas.

So he planned to issue a ten-day Hengshan bounty order, with the government providing intelligence and the heroes in the martial arts world being responsible for arresting the people.

The government gives a certain reward for each person caught.

This will not only rectify the "chronic problems" around Hengshan County, but also eliminate all possible variables for Ou Yushi's marriage, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

When Liu Zhengfeng heard this, he thought it was a good thing!

Not only do you have to agree, you also have to provide financial support.

Seeing that Liu Zhengfeng was willing to cooperate, Zhou Tong naturally couldn't stop smiling. As for talking about giving financial support, there was no need to mention it. Did the county government still need this little money from Liu Tianweng?
So, at noon that day, when the leaders of the various sects were still discussing the results of "making friends through martial arts", they received intelligence from their disciples:
The walls of the Hengshan County Government Office are covered with bounty notices for criminals from the imperial court who have recently appeared inexplicably around Hengshan County.

Some clever disciples even copied down the identity information of several people on the spot, and prepared to go out of the city to arrest people after reporting to the leader.

After hearing this, Zuo Lengchan thought for a while and said, "Why did you release the news at this time instead of earlier? It seems that the commotion at Liu's residence has been a bit loud recently, which has aroused the greed of some people. In this case, my Songshan Sect will do something for Liu's residence! My fellow apprentices, form a team of three and sweep the surrounding area!"

"Yes!"

The same scene happened in different inns. The martial artists who had nothing to do were mobilized again to clean up the escaped fish around Hengshan County.

Many criminals in the imperial court were themselves martial artists, but some were both good and evil, and some were simply evil.

The righteous martial arts world would naturally not show mercy to these scums. For a time, the area around Hengshan County was filled with blood and gore, and many passionate stories of the martial arts world spread.

At the same time, Ou Zanghua was in the Ou Garden in Hengshan, watching the performances of the musicians and old maids.

Strictly speaking, in ancient times, classical music was only played when the emperor got married.

The Han people would play music at special moments such as when the bride gets into the sedan chair, when the bride is welcomed, when she enters the house, etc. There is no specific wedding music. In the north, suona, gongs and drums are the main instruments, while in the south, string instruments are the main instruments.

Hengyang is located in southern Hunan, and some remote areas have the custom of "crying at weddings".

Crying at a wedding is not as simple as Ou Zanghua understands, there is also a process.

The bride needs to first cry for the kindness of her parents in raising her, then cry for the separation between her brothers and sisters, and finally cry for the pain of the matchmaker. Each kind of crying has a corresponding word, and it is a very serious matter.

Then the bride's mother cried and told her daughter what she should do in her husband's home.

It can be seen from this that crying at the wedding is not a solo by the bride, but a multi-part harmony between mother and daughter, and best friends.

If a daughter cannot or does not sing the wedding song when she gets married, not only will her relatives and neighbors look down on her, but even her in-laws will dislike her, believing that this will lead to an unhappy marriage and unlucky family.

Ou Zanghua stopped the performance, first thanked the maids for their guidance, politely presented them with red envelopes, and asked them to go off stage and rest.

Then he rubbed his brows and said directly: "Since there is no such thing, I will write it! Please practice the song well and then go to Liu's house to listen to the arrangements."

The musicians were startled and looked at Ou Zanghua.

But when I think about the fact that he is the third place in the imperial examination, and there are only three people in the world who are more talented than him, maybe it is not that difficult for him to create?

Ou Zanghua returned to the study, closed the door and began to think about which song to use.

The first thing that comes to mind is "Yu Man Tang", which is the music from the previous life game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III". This song is lively and cheerful, and very suitable for use in weddings.

Then I thought of "Emei Golden Summit", this song has a grand and open-minded aura.

There is also "Myth", which is melodious and can also be used.

In addition, "The Distant Journey" is also suitable, giving a feeling that time is like the song of flowing water, washing away all the vanity of yesterday.

After writing down the music in his mind, Ou Zanghua suddenly laughed. Only children do multiple-choice questions, while adults naturally want all of them!

On June 25th, when Linghu Chong and others were chatting on the street, they saw a group of young musicians each carrying their instruments and heading towards Liu's residence.

When his junior fellow apprentice Liang Fa saw this scene, he couldn't help but say, "Isn't this wedding too grand? They even invited musicians?"

"You, can't you see this? Senior Brother Ou loves Junior Sister Liu so much that he is so attentive, okay!" Yue Lingshan rolled her eyes at Liang Fa. Now she no longer expected her senior brother to come to her senses.

On June 26, Hengshan County welcomed another distinguished guest, and Liu Zhengfeng went to the city gate in person to greet him.

The other four Yues inquired and found out that the person who came was the wife of the Hengyang prefect, Wang, who was specially invited by Senior Brother Ou to open Liu Qing's face.

After hearing the news, Yue Lingshan was numb.

She even thought that when she got married, she could just ask Liu Qing to help her with her facial surgery.

Anyway, I have never heard of any female martial arts hero being treated like Liu Qing.

June 27th is a good day to get married, get engaged, and set up the bed.

When Yue Lingshan and Yi Lin arrived at the backyard of Liu's house, the lights were on and the musicians were already playing "The Distant Journey".

The two couldn't help but stand and listen for a while. Yilin put her hands together and said, "Amitabha, I didn't know I could hear such a beautiful song when I got married!"

"This is not something that every married couple can hear," Yue Lingshan said with envy, "This is the song that Senior Brother Ou wrote especially for Qingqing."

Yi Lin was stunned for a moment, and said, "Senior Brother Ou is indeed a top scholar."

At this time, Ning Zhongze came out, saw the two girls, and said with a smile: "What are you still doing here? Come in and watch the ceremony, Qingqing is going to have her face opened."

Upon hearing this, the two of them trotted over to Ning Zhongze and followed her into the backyard of Liu's house.

At this moment, all the female members of the family had arrived. Yue Lingshan looked up and saw Liu Qing already wearing her wedding dress and bridal robe, and sitting in front of a bronze mirror.

A kind-looking lady came forward, followed by Liu's mother, Madam Ouyang. She was holding a tray with two bunches of thread, a box of powder and an eyebrow tweezer.

"What a lucky and pretty girl you are!" Wang looked at Liu Qing and said gently.

Liu Qing's face turned red and she lowered her head.

When Wang saw this, she said cheerfully, "Today is a happy day for the young lady, so you should hold your head high."

Then, Wang took the thread from the tray, stretched it straight, and gently twisted it around Liu Qing's face and neck to remove the fine sweat hairs on her face, saying, "One twist means happiness, two twists mean good fortune, three twists mean a loving couple for a hundred years. Four twists mean good luck, five twists mean profit, and six twists mean a house full of children and grandchildren, happiness and longevity."

Not to mention girls like Yue Lingshan and Yi Lin, even married women like Ning Zhongze felt a little emotional when seeing this scene.

Ning Zhongze couldn't help but recall the past. When she got married, it was just after the Huashan Sword and Qi Sects broke up.

At that time, Huashan was seriously injured and his father was also seriously injured and had not much time left. He had no mood to pay attention to these etiquettes. All he pursued was efficiency.

After Wang opened Liu Qing's face, Madam Ouyang walked behind her daughter with a comb.

She looked at her pretty daughter, picked up the comb with tears in her eyes, and combed Liu Qing's hair while saying, "One comb, we will be equal. Two combs, we will fly together. Three combs, we will be together forever. Qingqing, you must live a good life with Zanghua in the future. A harmonious family will bring prosperity to the couple."

As she spoke, Madam Ouyang could no longer hold back her tears. From now on, her daughter would be the mistress of someone else's family, she would have to bear children and take care of her husband. "Mother!" Liu Qing looked back at Madam Ouyang, her beautiful eyes also filled with tears.

Yue Lingshan seemed to be infected, she hugged Ning Zhongze's arm and said, "Mom, I won't get married in the future."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ning Zhongze glared at his daughter and said, "You should marry a man of your dreams and live in peace."

Then, with the help of her two cousins, Liu Qing washed her face and hair, tied her hair into a bun and put on a crown.

In this way, the first three rituals are completed.

With the help of her sisters, they arrived at the ancestral home. Liu Zhengfeng and Madam Ouyang arrived here ahead of time. After watching Liu Qing pay homage to the ancestors, Liu Zhengfeng walked forward, helped his daughter up and gave her some instructions.

Mrs. Ouyang took out a red veil and put it on her daughter's head herself.

At the same time, Ou Zanghua rode a tall horse and entered the city with the inspector's ceremonial guard.

Linghu Chong and other young martial arts heroes came out one after another, and looked at Ou Zanghua, who was wearing a red silk robe and sitting on his horse with an unstoppable smile on his face, and bowed to the people around who came to congratulate him.

"Big Brother, he is so majestic!" Lu Dayou couldn't help but speak.

"I think so too." Linghu Chong nodded, agreeing with Lu Dayou's words.

After arriving at Liu's residence, Ou Zanghua bowed again to thank all his fellow martial artists for coming to attend his wedding banquet.

Under the guidance of Mi Weiyi, he walked into the Liu family's ancestral home with the greeting letter, where Liu Qing was already waiting for him.

As he walked into Liu's house, the musicians slowly changed the song to "Myth".

Liu Zhengfeng looked at his beloved disciple and said with tears in his eyes, "Zanghua, we are a family from now on. You must treat Qingqing well. You know her well. You two should live in harmony and happiness!"

"Please rest assured, Master. Zanghua will not let Qingqing down."

Ou Zanghua bowed and handed over the letter of welcome, his tone more serious than ever before.

"Okay, okay." Liu Zhengfeng took it with both hands, nodded, and handed it to Liu Qing.

Ou Zanghua looked at Liu Qing, who was wearing a red veil, and said gently, "Qingqing, I'm here to pick you up."

Liu Qing felt her eyes a little sore, as if she was about to cry again, but she quickly held it back, sniffed, and said "hmm".

"Hahaha come here!" Liu Zhengfeng half squatted down and carried Liu Qing on his back, just like when they were little.

Liu Qing lay on his father's back, watching the stone slab under his feet slowly change its appearance.

This is the pattern of the corridor stone slabs

This is the pattern of the lobby slate

This is the threshold to the door.
She really came out of Liu's house.

"Daddy."

"Eh!"

"My daughter is unfilial. I can't always be with you."

Listening to his daughter's sobbing words, Liu Zhengfeng held back his tears and said, "My Qingqing is very obedient and filial. She is the best daughter in the world. If Zanghua treats Qingqing badly, Qingqing should go home and not put up with his bullying! Daddy will beat him up, and he won't dare to fight back."

"Ok!"

Liu Qing nodded vigorously and couldn't help laughing through her tears. She didn't believe that the senior brother would treat her badly!

Liu Zhengfeng put Liu Qing into the sedan chair, and Ou Zanghua also rode back on the tall horse. The host shouted, "Lift the sedan chair!"

Eight strong men lifted the sedan chair and followed the groom towards Hengyang.

All of Liu's dowry was labeled with red words, tied with red silk, and carried out of the house one by one.

The people of Hengshan County only saw the betrothal gifts offered by Ou Yuan a dozen days ago, and it was so spectacular.

Unexpectedly, the dowry in Liu's house today was even more shocking.

The groom's procession was almost at the city gate when all the dowry from Liu's house was carried out.

Ning Zhongze met up with Yue Buqun and looked at the long procession. He couldn't help but sigh, "Brother, today I finally understand what childhood sweethearts are. They are in love with each other, and they have three letters and six ceremonies, a phoenix crown and a red bridal robe, a sedan chair carried by eight people, and a long wedding dress!"

Yue Buqun felt a little guilty, as his junior sister had not had a comfortable life with him over the years.

It happened that he was wearing a Confucian robe with wide sleeves today, so he quietly held his junior sister's hand.

Ning Zhongze was stunned, blushed slightly, but felt more joyful.

After all, for a senior brother, it is very rare to be able to do such a thing in public.

Inside Hengyang City, Wu Xun looked at the sun in the sky. The auspicious hour of Bingwu was almost here, but why hadn't he seen the wedding procession return yet?

At this time, a student came running over and shouted, "Master, Senior Brother Ou's wedding procession has arrived at the city gate!"

"Good good!"

After hearing this, Wu Xun shouted to the musicians nearby, "Play the music, 'Yu Man Tang'!"

As the music started, firecrackers were lit, and amidst a burst of noise, the wedding procession slowly approached.

After rows of flags passed by, Ou Zanghua came to the door on a tall horse. He dismounted, walked to the sedan chair, and kicked the door lightly. When Liu Qing heard it, he kicked twice in response.

Liu Qing's cousins ​​laughed and opened the door of the sedan chair. Ou Zanghua half-knelt down, carried Liu Qing out of the sedan chair, and walked towards Ou Garden.

After entering the ancestral house, Ou Zanghua let Liu Qing down.

Since Ou Zanghua did not know who his ancestors were, the tablets enshrined here were "Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents, and Teachers".

Sitting in the hall under the tablet were still Liu Zhengfeng and Madam Ouyang.

The two men had not yet recovered from the sorrow of marrying off their daughter, and now they were about to get married off as a daughter-in-law. It took them a while to adjust mentally.

A supporter came out, and the prefect of Hengyang, Yi Bolin, took a look and wondered if it was the eunuch Lu Fang.
After all this time, he is still in Hengshan!

Lu Fang smiled. It was also his first time to attend a folk wedding ceremony, and it was quite new.

At this time, the musicians changed another song, which was "Canglang Sword Ode", also from the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series.

Lv Fang recalled the article written by Ou Zanghua and shouted: "A good marriage is made in the past, and a good couple is made in heaven. The six rituals are completed, and the two families are united. The husband's face is like a beautiful jade, and the wife's beauty is more beautiful than peach blossoms. Let's enjoy this evening, and the time is right. We are married and there is no doubt about our love for each other."

"Please, bride and groom!"

Ou Zanghua used a red silk thread to lead Liu Qing to the center of the ancestral house.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Couple bows to each other!"

　Say hello to all the bosses. The evening update will be late, maybe around 11 o'clock.
