The Zhou family’s team to welcome the bride arrived at Ji’s house about an hour later than Mr. , a total of nineteen people in the team.

The Zhou family’s wedding car and some young people arrived in Qin Province two days ago. Mr. Zhou just set off from his hometown last night. He arrived in Qixian County, Qin Province in the middle of the night.

In order to keep the flowers on the wedding car bright, the Zhou family’s wedding car was decorated only in the morning. It took a lot of time to decorate the car, so they fell behind Mr. Xuan and his group.

The Zhou and Ji families are both families who inherit etiquette. The wedding process is based on the ancient etiquette process. Because there is a thousand rivers between the two families, they do not use a sedan chair and use a modern car instead. sedan chair.

When the Zhou family's wedding convoy arrived at the entrance of the village, it stopped first.

The Zhou family’s betrothal gifts have already been sent to the Ji family, and they only brought a few essential things on the wedding day.

The Ji family’s receptionist led Mr. Zhou and his party to the third courtyard of the main house. Mr. Ji took several brothers to greet them at the steps of the upper room, and then led Mr. Zhou and others Please go into the central hall to meet the elders of the Ji family.

Mr. Zhou led the people into the middle hall and saw Mr. Jiang Shaohua and others without saying hello. He first said hello to the parents-in-law and elders, and then presented the wedding gift.

Everyone in the Ji family became more and more satisfied after seeing the gift from the husband's family, and invited everyone in the Zhou family to sit down and have tea.

Only then did Master Zhou, Master Xuan and others greet each other and take their seats.

The young people of the Zhou family had to drive when they went back. Long-distance driving was the most tiring. The Ji family also arranged a room for them and let them rest first after drinking tea.

The young people of the Zhou family didn’t show any pretense and went to the guest room to catch up on their sleep.

Mr. Zhou sat with the elders of the Ji family for an hour and then took a nap. He returned to the main house of the Ji family more than half an hour before the luncheon and went to the place where the banquet was set to meet with the old and young of the Ji family.

Mr. Le Xiao really wanted to see the real process of how a man from an old aristocratic family goes about marrying a girl, but Miss Jijiu kept chatting with her and refused to let her go, thus missing another good opportunity.

Ji Jiufeng was so happy to have little Loli and Wu Shao playing with her. It was not until her Xiaoba came to pick up Little Loli and Wu Shao that she reluctantly let them go.

Before leaving, Mr. Le Xiao also gave the makeup gift he had prepared to Miss Jijiu. When he and Master Jiba returned to the main hall of the Ji family’s main house, the main hall of the Ji family’s house had been rearranged and decorated. the table.

This time she was lucky enough to avoid sitting on the banquet table with the master’s relatives and elders. She, Young Master Xuan, Young Master Jiang and the others sat in the VIP seats.

When the elders of the Ji family invited the little girl, Mr. Xuan and others to take their seats, he also went over to salute the little girl: "Thank you, little beauty, for the honor. Zhou is very grateful."

"You're welcome. You're welcome, I just came here with you to eat and drink and cause trouble to you two." Le Yun returned the gift with a smile.

"No, it's our honor for the little girl to come to this humble house." The head of the Ji family smiled brightly.

The Dongfang family sent out invitations, but the little beauty didn’t show any appreciation. The Jizhou family didn’t have anything to do, but the little beauty still found time to come despite her busy schedule. The difference is clear at a glance.

The Ji family’s luncheon had nine rounds of dishes. Mr. Zhou made a toast after the fifth round of dishes was served. After he finished the toast, the sixth round of dishes was served.

It took Mr. Zhou more than two hours to toast. After a period of digestion, even those who had eaten a little before were able to fight again.

The Ji family sent a car to take the little girl and the young man to the station in Qixian County.

　Little Lolita and Qiao Shao waited in the station hall for less than half an hour to check in and enter the station. They waited in the station for another ten minutes before the high-speed train they took entered the station.

Mr. Zhongjun took the high-speed train to the provincial capital of Qin Province, then transferred to the high-speed train to Han City in the north of E, and then transferred to the high-speed train to Yuezhou City in southern Hunan.

After going round and round all the way, we arrived in Yuezhou City at around four o'clock in the morning on May 1st.

Yueshi is not the terminal station of the high-speed rail, but just a stop on the way.

The few who finally arrived in Yuezhou stayed at the station until dawn, went to have breakfast, and then calmly took a taxi to Zhou’s home in Shili Changqiao Wuchi Lane on the south bank of East Dongting Lake. .

The taxi took the person to a place not far from the destination and convenient for parking. After collecting the fare, he went to the sports car and walked more or less slowly to Wuchichi Alley.

“The head of the Zhou family is too alienated. The young master is an old friend. When he gets married, we will naturally come to have a wedding drink. Maybe we will be happy because of this, and we older young people can also be single next year."

Xuan Sanshaohe Young Master Jiang took on the communication task and had a lively conversation with the head of the Zhou family.

Wu Shao, Ren Shao, Jiang Shao and others were obviously single, and they were not afraid of being retaliated by Zhou Shao when they got married in the future. They watched the entire ceremony and even made trouble with the groom.

They just joined in the fun themselves, and even dragged the little girl to join in the fun.

Mr. Le Xiaoxiao was originally very happy to watch the ancient ceremony. When he was forced to have a wedding ceremony, he could only risk his life to accompany the gentleman. He thought he was just joining in the fun, but who knows that those guys are often betrayed by the bride and groom? When an army was about to stop, she was pushed out to the rescue again.

The little Lolita who was forced to take up the post sang four or five songs to celebrate the bridegroom and composed three poems. She was frightened and escaped through the window while the guys were not paying attention.

Ancestor Zhou looked at the little girl with rosy cheeks and asked with a smile: "Why did the little girl come back so soon? Isn't it fun to have a wedding?"

"Young Master Jiang Shaohua and those handsome guys are so unkind. When they make trouble with the new couple, they always push me to take the blame when they encounter problems. I don't dare to stay any longer. Otherwise, in the future, Young Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou will think that it is me who is making trouble, and wait for my brother and I to get married." Shi Ye went to the bridal chamber, wouldn’t I be wronged?"

Le Yun poured another cup of tea and complained about the ruthlessness of Young Master Jiang and others.

The head of the Zhou family and others laughed heartily.

The little Loli ran away, so Wu Shao and others stopped and just watched the excitement.

People who are making trouble at a new house are also restrained and stop making trouble until midnight.
