Chapter 308: They are really a pair of old naughty boys
"The red candles shine brightly, illuminating the magnificent hall.
The house is filled with joy and good luck.
Guests from all over the world gather together.
Let us look at this day together, the phoenix seeks the phoenix. "
The melodious sound of the flute gradually rose, attracting the attention of the guests upstairs and downstairs. Mu Qingqiu took the hand card given to him by Bai Tieying and read it aloud, using his internal energy, and naturally suppressed the noise from the guests in all directions.
The adults held back the children who were running around, and the young ladies hurriedly sat upright. Even the elderly who tended to doze off when there was a lot of noise were awakened by the loud bell-like sound. People upstairs and downstairs looked towards the stage on the first floor - who could be so strong as an old man?
Bai Tieying's group wedding was both practical and casual. Guests could enter with just an invitation, and it didn't matter which family they came from, as the fee was the same.
The only difference is that the elderly over fifty sat on the first floor, the male guests on the second floor, and the female guests on the third floor. Boys under seven followed the female guests, and those over seven followed the male guests, filling up the hundreds of tables.
"Dong Dong Dong! Dong Dong Dong Dong, Dong Dong Dong Dong, Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong!" After Mu Qingqiu finished reciting the closing poem, the four heart-stirring sounds of the Zhongruan followed. Then, the cheerful sound of the Pipa gradually slowed down and from heavy to light, leading to his next speech.
"When the year of Jiachen comes, it is the golden autumn. The sky is clear and the sun shines on the tall buildings.
The phoenix flute sounds, the dragon dances. Heaven and earth are in harmony, and we will grow old together.
Fine wine from golden cups celebrates the couple, clear songs from jade flutes celebrates the success of the relationship.
Colorful butterflies are flying in pairs among the clouds, and fairy flowers are blooming in pairs under the moon.
The affectionate couple treats each other with respect like guests, and the auspicious leaves and grasshoppers prosper after them.
A lifelong couple, united in purpose and covenant. "
Then, another clear flute sound came in, and Bai Tieying, who was dressed as an old woman, slowly said: "The auspicious time has arrived, the auspicious music has begun, please invite the new sons-in-law to the stage!"
It is not uncommon to invite a new groom, but the bridesmaids, aunts, and mothers-in-law are the ones who invite the grooms-in-law to sit down. This is a "new groom". Except for those who have heard of it, there was an uproar inside and outside the building. However, since it was different from the ancient customs, Bai Tieying expected these criticisms and the wedding went on as usual.
The sound of the flute fades away, and the singing begins:
"I am a green and beautiful person, and I am among them. When I see a gentleman, I am happy and well behaved.
I am a green and beautiful person, I am in the middle of the river. When I see a gentleman, my heart is happy.
I am a virtuous person, in the hills. Now that I have met a gentleman, I have been granted a hundred friends.
When the song ended, there were already ten grooms-in-law standing on the stage, ranked high and low.
"I float in a Yang boat, up and down. When I see a gentleman, my heart is at peace."
Bai Tieying sang the last part of the song, walking slowly in front of the new grooms. When she sang the word "gentleman", she happened to walk in front of a new groom who was indeed handsome. She suddenly stopped singing and stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to take the hairpin from the new groom's ear, but then she shook her head, as if she was lamenting that she was no longer young and could not pursue a "gentleman".
She continued to walk forward, singing the word "my heart". Suddenly, she saw Mu Qingqiu, who looked like an old man, walking up to the stage opposite her. The word "休" in "my heart is resting" was sung with a different meaning.
Originally, everyone was confused by the row of new sons-in-law, but when they saw the old woman like this, they were all amused by her and slapped their legs and stamped their feet, laughing loudly.
"Okay, okay, as long as the laugh point is low!" Bai Tieying was still worried that her screenwriting was not good enough, her acting skills were not good enough, and people would not buy it! Since this could make people laugh, she had a good idea.
"You old woman, are being unreasonable. Since you are meeting a gentleman, why are you being rude?" Mu Qingqiu pretended to be angry and beat his chest and stamped his feet.
"You old man, you have no shame. Now that you have met a gentleman, why don't you leave?"
The old man said that the old woman forgot about etiquette when she saw the "gentleman", and the old woman retorted that the old man was very old, so why didn't he run away ashamed when he saw a good-looking young man?
"Hahahahahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter again.
The old man seemed to be annoyed by the laughter of the crowd. He threw the card in his hand and pulled the old woman, shouting, "Go home! Go home!"
Before anyone could react, the old woman hugged the new son-in-law whose hairpin she was trying to take off, and shouted, "Go home, go home!"
"Hahahahaha..." This time everyone was laughing so hard that they clapped their hands on the table, slid off the stools, and their bodies were shaking like sieves. Was the old woman crazy? Did she mean that she could go home, but she had to take the new son-in-law home with her? The old man's jealousy was funny, the old woman's lust was even funnier, and the new son-in-law's face, which was redder than his clothes, was even funnier!
"You two old naughty boys, stop making trouble in this world. Children and grandchildren are all around you, and your love is with you day and night. Flowers are blooming in your house, and you are here to fulfill your promise for three lifetimes. Sing, dance and play music, and if you don't listen to my advice... I'll seal your name!"
Zhou Shuqin suddenly jumped up from the stage, pulling the old man away with one hand and the old woman apart with the other. She was like an elder watching the younger generation at home making trouble, but she was the younger generation, with a look of anger and amusement on her face.
Then, after repeatedly bowing and saluting to the embarrassed son-in-law, as if she could not persuade the two old people any more, she put her hands on her hips, raised her head, and took out her trump card - "red seal"!
The old man and the old woman became allies at this moment, making faces behind Zhou Shuqin's back, but they seemed to have to bow their heads for the red envelope. You could say they were naughty children, right? Their age was there, and they were elders, right? But they were even more mischievous than the children - they were really a pair of old naughty boys!
The people in the audience were already very amused, and as if they remembered, or wished, that they had such a pair of old naughty children at home, they actually started to contribute their money. After the first silver coin was thrown onto the stage, it actually rained copper coins in front of the stage, and even guests from all directions came with "gifts" at the door.
"Boom!"
I don't know who was so generous, but he actually threw a silver ingot of ten taels onto the stage, which happened to hit the old woman's feet, which really scared Bai Tieying, who was dressed as an old woman! If it had hit her... This part was not in the script, but it almost killed her. So Bai Tieying flirted and flirted with him, intending to "take advantage of the situation".
Unexpectedly, Mu Qingqiu was one step ahead of her. He picked up the silver ingot and angrily slammed it on the man's table. He pointed at his nose and shivered for a long time, and finally just said "go home" and turned back to the stage. Unexpectedly, his appearance made the old men and old ladies in the audience even happier. It rained "copper coins" again, and it stopped after Zhou Shuqin's consolation.
The old man who threw the silver ingot asked the young man next to him to throw all the money in his purse onto it. It turned out that he was the grandfather of the "bright new son-in-law".
The families with daughters nearby thought: since he could carry around silver ingots and a lot of rewards, he must be wealthy! As a result, within a month after today, the two remaining grandchildren in the old man's family were engaged!
