The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the breeze is refreshing. It is a rare good weather.
Qin Huaidao, with the help of Jia Youcai, bathed and burned incense according to the rituals, worshiped his ancestors with three animals and wine, and informed his ancestors that a wedding was going to be held today.
The Tang Dynasty emphasized filial piety, and this link was indispensable, otherwise you would be ridiculed.
In the afternoon, Li Jing's wife Hongfu Nu came over to help. The two families were closely related, and there was no one in Qin Huaidao's family. As Qin Huaidao's elder, Hongfu Nu invited servants to help decorate the bridal chamber and hold the bed-laying ceremony. This was also an indispensable link.
Ordinary people are not qualified to host it. Brand-new beddings are laid out one by one, big red candles are lit, and dragon and phoenix beds are laid on them. Lotus seeds, peanuts, red dates and other happy fruits are sprinkled on them, which mean that you will have children early and have many children.
.
Then, the Hongfu girl worships the "bed mother" according to the horoscopes and the direction of the house. The bed mother is the bedside mother-in-law, the bed god, also known as the mother-in-law and the bed mother-in-law. In the mother's heart, she is the patron saint of her children, and she prays to the bed mother.
The wedding was peaceful and smooth.
Jia Youcai found a bridal sedan. In the Tang Dynasty, the bridal sedans were specially made and were only used when catering. They had to stop in front of the house before the wedding procession set off and show it to the surrounding neighbors, which was called a "liang sedan".
Qin Huaidao was not able to cancel these customs, which made everyone happy.
Formal weddings are always held at dusk, when the sun and the moon alternate and the yin and yang coincide, so the "wedding" is called the "evening ceremony". There are detailed records about weddings in the "Book of Rites": "Those who perform the evening ceremony will have the same surname.
It is good to serve the ancestral temple at the top, and to carry on to future generations at the bottom... Therefore, it is called the obsequious ritual, which is the foundation of ritual.
When the auspicious moment came, Qin Huaidao was draped in red and colorful. Under the urging of everyone, he rode a tall horse and led the wedding procession to carry the sedan chair straight to Chang'an. Many people stopped to give blessings along the way. Qin Huaidao bowed his hands and thanked him one by one. Jia Youcai gave the blessing.
People paid a few copper coins to celebrate the occasion, beating gongs and drums all the way, it was so lively.
…
Harem, Princess Wencheng's boudoir.
Li Xueyan sat on the edge of the bed, letting everyone play with it, with a smile on her face and full of expectations in her heart. Although she didn't know much about Qin Huaidao and there was almost no affection between the two parties, weren't everyone like this? Aren't they all the matchmakers who were ordered by their parents to act on their words?
When we get together, don’t we all develop feelings slowly after marriage?
Thinking of Qin Huaidao's literary and martial arts talents, which are better than countless so-called young talents in Chang'an City, I feel very lucky and happy.
When I got up early in the morning, I ate a large bowl of glutinous rice balls according to the ritual, which in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty means sweetness and perfection. The biological mother came to wash and dress up. Although Li Er was adopted, no one can replace the biological mother in dressing up and dressing up the married daughter, unless she is no longer alive.
I had to find a hairdresser instead, otherwise it would be considered unlucky.
Li Xueyan's biological mother was also a lady, and she was a little disgusted at first to marry Qin Huaidao as his partial wife. Her precious daughter had no worries about getting married. Why, after getting to know Qin Huaidao and Li Daozong's analysis of the pros and cons, she became happy and devoted herself to giving.
My precious daughter applied Begonia powder to open her face, and then combed her hair.
After the hair is combed, it is tied with red and green threads. The mirror used when dressing up is a Taoist ritual utensil, which represents lovesickness. While saying some auspicious blessings, such as one comb to the end, two combs to white hair to the eyebrows, three combs to fill the house with children and grandchildren.
Wait, during the grooming process, every detail is important and no one dares to ignore it.
After finally washing up and putting on the big red robe, the next step is to wait in the boudoir. You can't go out at this time. Yuzhang and Jinyang came to talk to you. Their eyes were full of envy and they wished they could replace them. Some harem concubines, talented people, etc.
Everyone came over to say some blessings and give some gifts, without any excitement.
"Hurry, the groom is here!" The maid who grew up with Li Xueyan ran over happily.
Li Xueyan's sister hurried to the door and opened a red umbrella excitedly. Yuzhang and Jinyang ran to help and scattered some rice grains like the sky, which represented that the branches and leaves will bloom after getting married, which is also an indispensable link.
Not long after, a wedding team came over. Looking at Qin Huaidao on horseback, Yuzhang couldn't bear it any longer. Tears fell from his eyes. He wished he was the one getting married today.
Qin Huaidao saw Yu Zhang's face stiffened, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. After all, this was his real wife. He quickly took a breath, adjusted his mentality, and stepped forward and asked: "Yuzhang, are you okay?"
"Not good..." Yuzhang uttered two words, suppressing the bitterness and helplessness in his heart. Today is the wedding day, and Yuzhang doesn't want Qin Huaidao to be in trouble.
Even though Qin Huaidao was a straight man, he realized that Yu Zhang was in a bad mood and solemnly said: "I will definitely marry you home in a glorious way and wait for me."
"Yes!" Yuzhang smiled happily after receiving the promise, like an easily satisfied child.
Li Xueyan’s sister Li Xueying didn’t want the protagonist to be Yu Zhang. Today was her sister’s wedding, but she knew it was okay and didn’t point it out. Instead, she stood quietly in front of Yu Zhang and said with a smile: “Brother-in-law, I am Li Xueying.
, you can marry my sister if you want, but you have to get through me."
The symbolic obstruction from the natal family and the test of the groom are also a part of the wedding and cannot be left out.
Qin Huaidao had heard about it before he came, and he hated all these red tapes, but he could only follow the local customs to avoid being said that he did not understand the rules and etiquette. Reputation is very important in this era. He smiled and said: "Don't make it too difficult, otherwise you will have to wait for a long time."
When you get married, I will make things difficult for you so that you cannot get married."
"You dare!"
Li Xueyan didn't expect that Qin Huaidao would not play his cards according to the rules, and immediately panicked. Thinking of Qin Huaidao's literary and military talents, if he really made things difficult, no one would be able to pass the test. How would he marry in the future? He even panicked, and said quickly: "I heard that you are both civilized and military.
Forget about martial arts, I don't know how to fight and kill, so just write a poem to suit the occasion."
Look, what does it mean to be casual? This is cowardice.
Qin Huaidao didn't know anything about composing poems. He could just copy poems. After all, it was a big wedding. Any unpleasantness would only embarrass himself. He smiled and said: "It's good. The stars last night were windy. The painting building is on the west side and the Guitang is on the east side. The body is colorless.
The phoenix flies with two wings, and the heart is connected. How about this poem?"
Qin Huaidao couldn't remember other poems that fit the occasion, but this one was so famous that it was just right to use it.
As soon as the poem came out, the whole place was silent.
The poetry of the Tang Dynasty was very popular, and everyone liked it, and their appreciation level was not bad, not to mention that everyone present was a lady. They had been exposed to it since childhood, and they usually went to half a poetry meeting when they had time. Their level was not bad, how could they not know the subtlety of this poem? I didn't know it for a while.
Some people are so crazy that they wish they were given to themselves.
"There is no colorful phoenix flying in the body, but there is a clear understanding in the heart. What a beautiful sentence."
At this moment, everyone envied Li Xueyan even more. Once this poem spreads, who in the world would not recognize Xueyan?
In the boudoir, Li Xueyan's literary literacy was higher. Thinking that the two of them were not familiar with each other and had little contact with each other. Even if they were granted marriage by the Holy Spirit, they would rarely see each other. If they couldn't meet each other, they wished they could spread their wings like a colorful phoenix and see each other day and night.
But in my heart, I always miss the other person’s comfort.
"Does he also have a concept of himself? Has himself in his heart?"
"Are they really connected?"
At this moment, Li Xueyan was a little crazy.
Only Yuzhang enjoyed it very much. All this should belong to him, and this poem should also belong to him. He looked at Qin Huaidao with a pair of big tearful eyes.
Qin Huaidao felt that someone was looking at him. He turned around and saw that it was Yu Zhang. His tears seemed to be free of charge. He knew it was bad. He had curried favor with one and neglected the other. What was this? He quickly made amends: "Yuzhang, I'll give it to you too."
Write a poem for you."
"I want the same level." Yu Zhang said angrily.
Although the requirements are not higher, Qin Huaidao is two heads and two older, and he has no reserve in his mind. It is simply more difficult than fighting on the battlefield. Thinking of Yuzhang being banned and the relationship between the two, he suddenly had an idea.
I can't forget the first poem even though I think about it, but some poems that fit the occasion came out of my mouth - Red beans grow in the south, and when spring comes, they will sprout a few branches. I hope you will pick more of them, as this is the most loved thing.
I am banned from seeing each other or getting married, but my heart remains unchanged. Only the red beans in the south represent my lovesickness. I hope you can pick a few more when you have time. That is my heart.
The whole audience was shocked again and conquered by Qin Huaidao's poetic talent.
What woman is not pregnant?
What woman doesn’t want her man to be all about herself?
One person in the crowd couldn't help but sigh: "As soon as this poem came out, no one dared to write about love."
Everyone was convinced and looked at Yu Zhang one after another, their eyes full of envy.
The song "I don't have a colorful phoenix flying with two wings, but my heart has a clear connection" expresses my heart, longing for future harmony and beauty, living a tacit understanding of life, adapting to the situation and the situation, unprecedented and difficult to surpass. As for the awkward relationship between the two, at this moment
It turns out to be beautiful when put down, and it becomes a foil for the heart.
The song "This thing is the most lovesick" expresses the love in the heart vividly and makes people fascinated. It doesn't matter if they are confined to the house. As long as there is love in the heart and Hongdou is there to accompany them, even if they are not together, it is enough.
