Chapter 57 [Qian’s Ancestral Hall]
Auspicious Day of the zodiac is suitable for marriage.
Today is the happy day for Qian Ruyu, the eldest son of Qian family, to marry Huang Shan, the only daughter of the Huang family.
What surprised Cheng Yu was a little surprised was that the wedding ceremony in Qingchuan County started with the sun set.
In the customs of his area in his previous life, those who hold the ceremony at night are all second marriages.
After a busy but not messy day, at dusk, the wedding ceremony finally began in Qianfuzheng Hall.
The ancestors of Qian Mansion were from a family of officials, and their ancestors were also founding marquises.
But it was not the Iron Hat Viscount, which was hereditary. After more than two hundred years of washing, the Qian family has now transformed into a giant businessman who mainly engages in business.
But in recent years, Qian Dajun has donated a free employee and a wife, and at least he has fame and fortune.
Therefore, people from the house came to congratulate and greeted the letters in a constant stream.
When the ceremony was underway, the huge Qian Mansion seemed a little cramped.
Today, in the entire Qingchuan County, there is only one topic of discussion between men, women, young and old: the eldest son of the Qian family is married to a bride.
For this reason, all three yamen runners in the Qingchuan County Government were dispatched, and they were on high alert, for fear of another farce of bandits robbing their brides.
The magistrate also issued a special signature, ordering the county magistrate to allocate a hundred soldiers to guard six city gates in all directions.
The entire county town was firmly surrounded, and the peddlers only went out but not in, both for the success of the wedding and for the black veil.
Yique and Cat stood on the roof of the high Drum Tower, looking at the bright lights and wine of nearly half of the city, Cheng Yu greeted the cat demon to see the fun.
Unexpectedly, the orange cat demon snorted coldly, and he turned around and walked towards Huichun Tower with elegant cat steps.
Huichun Tower is closed today.
Seeing this, Cheng Yu didn't say anything. He just looked at his attitude towards Qian Mansion and decided even more in his heart that this cat demon was raised by Wu Jun himself.
A sparrow flew away from the Bell and Drum Tower, crossed rows of uneven roofs, and soared over the front yard of Qian Mansion.
This is the only benefit to be a sparrow. No matter how deep the courtyard and high walls and barriers are all decorations.
The pair of magpies living in Qian's mansion have long disappeared, and even their nests have been vacant for a long time.
I guess it was because Cheng Yu had a psychological shadow last time and moved out of the city.
When Cheng Yu was flying leisurely to the main hall, a couple of newcomers were worshiping the world.
Huo Yazi also sat firmly in the VIP seat in the front row of the hall, looking at the new couple with a fairy-like smile.
During this period, this man who copied the literary man was much more plump. Since he was invited by the foreign minister to divine the marriage of his legitimate son, he locked him in the house for half a day and put out a good hexagram, and this guy has been even more valued.
The salary was also improved again and I was invited to live in a courtyard with a pool.
The young master even invited him and his master and disciple to have a meal the next day. It seemed that he had been completely fooled by this guy.
...
The entire ceremony process was almost the same as Cheng Yu thought at first, a couple worshipped the world, worshiped the high hall, and worshipped each other.
But he had never seen the following ceremony.
After the newcomer worshipped the world, he did not start a banquet and had a drink directly. Instead, he was surrounded by guests. The Qian clans of Qingchuan were arranged in two rows according to their seniority, with men on the left and women on the right.
A pair of newlyweds in festive red makeup walked at the front of the team and led a group of people to the northwest corner of Qian Mansion's backyard.
As for the owners who had ancestors like Qian Duofu, they were not even qualified to go to the mansion to get a glass of water and wine.
Looking from the sky, Cheng Yu saw a road in the mansion leading directly from the front yard to the northwest corner.
There is a separate two-in-one yard, with five rooms in the main room, almost the same size as the front yard.
There is an ancient plaque hanging on the gate of the courtyard with six big words "I ordered the creation of the Qian Clan Ancestral Hall".
The noise in the front yard was gradually left behind, and the Qian clans arranged solemn and tidy formations and slowly walked towards the ancestral hall.
The young official Wai Qian Ruyu looked happy and looked at the bride beside him from time to time while walking.
Huang Shan changed her former goose yellow shirt and was dressed in a phoenix crown and robe.
He held a handful of goose yellow but slapped it in front of his face, and a pretty face behind him was beautiful.
But when Cheng Yu looked at him from a high place, the bride seemed a little nervous compared to the groom.
When he reached the entrance of the ancestral hall, Huang Shan looked up at the plaque at the door. According to the custom, she should be put down but the fan was raised to block her face.
Qian Ruyugang wanted to remind her that she should not use it to cover her face when entering the ancestral hall.
But she had already stepped into the yard. He hurriedly followed two steps and whispered beside him:
"There is no need for fans to block the face in the ancestral hall."
But Huang Shan seemed to be unable to hear it, and she took the lead alone and continued to move forward slowly. Qian Ruyu had no choice but to keep up.
Walking step by step towards the gate of the main hall, Huang Shan looked up and saw a huge plaque hanging above the main door, with four golden characters "Zhaomu Qianqiu" written on it, which were also written by the royal family.
When he arrived at the gate of the main hall, the bride stopped for a moment. When the groom entered the hall, she then raised her right foot. When she stepped over the threshold, she paused and then fell down and stepped into the hall.
The old temple Zhu only waits in the hall and does not need to come out of the hall to welcome him. He represents the ancestors of the Qian family at this moment.
When he entered the hall, the bride looked up first and then glanced around, and finally turned her eyes to the offering table in the middle of the hall.
Compared with the cautious and cautious ones before, she was a little unrestrained at this time.
The Qian Family Ancestral Hall is really unique. The ancestral tablets were not in the middle, but were placed in front of the gables on both sides. Each tablet had an oil lamp in front of it.
There is a huge table offering in the middle of the hall, and there is an oil lamp on each side, but the table offering is a wooden box.
After taking a few steps, I saw clearly that the one placed in the box was just a brush.
The pen tube is thin and straight, pitch black and dull, and some fine patterns can be vaguely carved on it.
The pen tip of the pen shines with a light golden luster under the reflection of the oil lamp.
The entire brush is tightly tied into a tip, obviously it has never been written.
Huang Shan stared at the brush, her eyes gradually getting colder.
Seeing this, the young official beside him called out to his wife. Huang Shan just turned her eyes away from the brush, and turned to smile at Qian Ruyu with spring eyes.
The young official who was used to fighting in the Fengyue Field suddenly felt soft all over, and he didn't care about the slightest strangeness when the bride entered the hall just now.
After burning incense and cooking, three bows and nine bows, the bride and groom announced their ancestors and ancestors, and everyone left the ancestral hall in sequence.
It turns out that in this world, although men are superior to women, the original wife who is born is qualified to enter the ancestral hall to worship.
As for a family like Qian Mansion, when you get married, you must first worship your ancestors. Only after you get the recognition of your ancestors can you officially enter the family.
If you just worship the heaven, earth, and high hall in the joy hall, it is only half of the completion of the ceremony.
There are no temples in the ancestral halls to say loudly, and the footsteps of "光" have already gone far away.
The already a little lonely ancestral hall fell silent again after a brief popularity.
Only the bright lights in the hall were left, flashing and flashing.
Seeing that there was no one in the ancestral hall at this moment, Cheng Yu spread his wings and flew into the hall.
The light in the ancestral hall was not dim. He flew to the middle of the offering table and landed next to the wooden box.
The wooden box seems to be carved from extremely rare wood species such as gloomy wood.
The wooden box is carved with complex patterns on all sides. When combined, those patterns look more like runes when they are far away.
Look at the brush inside, there are various patterns carved on the black pen tube.
In comparison, the light golden pen tip is just plain.
There is also the largest tablet behind the wooden box.
Cheng Yu jumped forward a few steps and took a closer look. It turned out that this pen was a royal pen, an imperial object awarded by Taizu, the founding emperor of the Daliang Dynasty.
No wonder it was placed in the middle, pushing Qian's ancestors to both sides.
Looking to both sides, there are rows of altar tables placed on the ancestral tablets of the Qian family for generations, and portraits of outstanding figures of the Qian family for generations hanging on the wall behind the tablets.
The portrait of the first place in the left hand has long turned yellow. The inscription is the ancestor of Qian, the founding pillars of the Daliang Dynasty, and the Marquis of Jing'an.
In the painting, Marquis Jing'an is wearing a marquis' uniform and sitting in a circle chair without anger. A huge orange cat lying on the ground next to the circle chair.
