Last night among the thousands of flowers, the dream had passed, and today he would usher in a new beginning.
Before dawn, he was awakened by Du Qingshuang, and the Japanese girls in brand-new auspicious clothes began to wash and dress him.
When it was time to get dressed, I encountered a problem. It turned out that according to the wedding, three days before the wedding, the groom's family would give the bride a makeup-inducing flower bun, a gold hijab, a flower fan, a pollen plate, colored thread fruits and other items...
There's no problem with this, just make two copies and be impartial. But the woman also has to send back Luohua futou, scarlet robe, boots and hats, etc., the auspicious attire of the groom when he gets married.
And I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but the Jifuguan boots sent by the two families turned out to be two different types.
"Sir, which one should we wear?" Ah Rou held a Luohua futou, and A Cai held a gold pinnacled futou, standing in front of him in embarrassment.
Du Qingshuang covered her mouth and snickered. In fact, such trouble happened yesterday. Because the house had to be 'prepared' a day in advance, the man's family prepared beds, mats, tables and chairs, and the woman's family prepared bedding and curtains; the woman's family also had to send people.
The groom's family laid out the dowry utensils, placed jewelry, and plastered the doors and windows with red wedding flowers made by his female family members.
The people who came to the Liu family to make the house were several of Liu Yue'e's aunts and sisters-in-law. They were angry that their legitimate daughter was left behind... Although she was said to be the daughter of Emperor E, Chen Ke was granted the title of the founding son of Juyang County, and Su Xiaomei was granted the title of Juyang County.
Sir, Liu Yue'e is the prince of Wuyang County. It's clear who is in front and who is behind.
The noble ladies of the Liu family in Hedong deliberately wanted to overpower the Su family and regain this situation. They commented on the dowry equipment and jewelry of both parties, praising their own as treasures and devaluing the other's as worthless. But
Is the Su family a fuel-efficient lamp? The Shi family is fierce and outspoken, and Wang Fu is smart and sophisticated. The two sisters-in-law work together perfectly, neither anxious nor angry nor loud, which makes the Liu family speechless and angry.
But the Cao family was frightened. The Liu family are all practicing family members! If she couldn't hold it back, the wife of the Su family was broken. How could she get married? She quickly separated the two parties and decided to give up everything.
For a pair, use the ones from the Liu family. They must use the ones from the Su family. Make sure they are impartial and then settle the matter.
However, household items can be placed in pairs, but hats cannot be worn in pairs, right?
"Which one was sent by the Su family?" Chen Ke couldn't help but sigh to himself. He heard that marriage is the grave of life, and I have to die twice!
"This." Aju said.
"Wear this first."
"What about this one?" A Cai asked.
"You guys put it on for me." Chen Ke said, "I'll put it on when I come out of Su's house."
"Sir, you are so treacherous." The two Japanese girls giggled, and then thought of another problem: "But what will we do when we come back?"
"Stupid." Chen Ke said lightly: "Whoever holds the person is the master... The Japanese girls were speechless and obediently changed their master into the auspicious clothes sent by the Su family... After changing into the auspicious clothes, it was already daytime
At dawn, Chen Ke left his courtyard and came to the ancestral hall in the main courtyard.
In the ancestral hall, Chen Xiliang, dressed neatly, stood solemnly in front of the ancestral tablet. Five brothers, Chen Yu, Chen Chen, Chen Wu, Chen Xun, and Chen Zhen, stood on both sides... The Song Dynasty was very humane, and the brothers had no important matters. They all sued.
Leave and come back to attend his wedding.
Chen Ke stood still in the hall and saluted his father.
Chen Xidian nodded, and then took him and his nephews to perform the ritual of announcing the ancestors. Chen Ke took a glass of wine from his father's hand as a sacrifice, knelt down and worshiped the ancestor's tablet and stood up.
Chen Xiliang then lectured in a deep voice: "Go and greet your Prime Minister. Accept my duties. Please show your respect and be respectful. If so, you will be in good health!"
Chen Ke quickly bowed and replied: "Here. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it. I don't dare to forget my life."
Chen Xiliang then told his sons and nephews: "Careful protection, don't be rude. Go early and come back early to strengthen my family."
"Here." Dalang saluted with his four younger brothers, and then followed Chen Ke out of the ancestral hall.
In the courtyard outside the ancestral hall, the household items and personnel for welcoming the bride have already been prepared. Although the Chen family has only been settled in the capital for a few years, they still have many relatives and friends. The three brothers Zhao Zongji, Cao Ping's family, Ouyang Fa brothers, Di Yong, and Yang Huaiyu One family, Li Jian's family, Cai Chuanfu's family, Tu Yang's family, Qian Sheng's family, Li Quan's family, and Bai Yaming with his Gan Yi Le Ye people... a whole yard.
Seeing the groom come out, everyone clasped their fists and said with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations."
He bowed his hands in return to the crowd, and Chen Ke smiled and said, "Thank you, all my relatives and friends."
Zhao Zongji put a bright red hydrangea on his chest. Cao Ping led a 'jade lion' that was all white and draped in red. He put a stirrup on his other hand and said with a smile: "Get on the horse, don't make the bride wait in a hurry." "
"Get on the horse!" Chen Ke nodded, took the reins of the horse, and quickly got on the horse.
"Play music!" Ouyang Fa, who served as the praise officer, said loudly. There was a lot of disputes about whether to play music or not, because Confucianism believes that music is beating and belongs to Yang, which is not suitable for brides who belong to Yin. However, starting from the Five Dynasties However, the people like to play music at weddings. The scholar-officials found that playing music and playing music is more in line with the festive atmosphere than quietly entering the city without shooting guns. So in this era of "collapse of rituals and music", the scholar-officials no longer abide by the ancient rituals. .
However, Ouyang Xiu believes that his disciple is already a great Confucian and will set an example for the world in the future, so he should take the lead in restoring etiquette. Su Xun deeply agrees. But Mr. Liu firmly opposes it. He thinks that if there is no bragging, no fighting, no excitement, what's the point of getting married?
In the end, the official family was alarmed and they said: 'Marriage is a lively event, how can it be done without fun?'
So, amidst the sound of the band playing and playing, a group of relatives and friends who were welcoming the bride each took vases, candles, incense balls, saros for washing, makeup boxes, photo stands, skirt boxes, clothes boxes, parasols, chairs and other items, and followed The sedan chair that picked up the bride set off with the band in a majestic manner.
Of course, the Chen family prepared two sedan chairs.
The Chen family was not far from the Su family and the Liu family, and the Cailou Huanmen had been set up along the way. The procession of welcoming the bride followed the Huanmen, playing and playing, to the door of the Su family.
The Su family's natal family had been waiting there for a long time. Except for Su Shi's cousins, most of them were members of the Jiayou Academy in the same year...most of them were Jinshi in the upper or new subjects, and were either still on vacation or in the probationary period. , there was no government affairs, and it was easy to ask for leave. So they took leave collectively and came to the capital to attend the wedding of Chen Ke and the girl from the Su family.
Zeng Gong, Zengbu's family, Lu Huiqing, Lu Deqing's family, Wang Shao, Zhang Dun, Deng Wan, Jia Quan, Lin Zhiqi, and even Zhang Zai, Cheng Yi's uncle and nephew all came... The place where they served as officials was too close to Bianjing. It didn't look good. Because the Su family was small and they were overshadowed by the Liu family, dozens of Jinshis all went to the Su family to become their natal family, and they would definitely support the scene.
At this moment, when they saw the groom, everyone saluted happily and welcomed the team into Su's house. On the Su's door, there was a colorful silk hanging across the forehead, which had been torn off. After Chen Ke entered the door, everyone started to fight to pull it. There were fragments, which is called "profit market and pay a fortune", even Zhao Zongji and his brothers started to grab it.
In the mansion, the Su family had already set up a banquet to entertain the group of people who came to welcome the bride, and distributed red envelopes.
Chen Ke was invited into the main hall, sat down on a chair on the bed, and drank three glasses of wine. The woman's family then sent someone to invite him down, and they invited him three times in a row before they could invite him down. This is called "going up to high school".
sit'.
After Chen Ke came down, he quickly saluted Su Xun and his brother Su Huan. Su Huan twisted his beard and nodded with a smile: "Ming Yun got a good son-in-law."
"It's very useless." Su Xun said with a straight face.
Chen Ke was the only one who said yes.
When Chen Ke came out, the band welcoming the bride started to have fun and make up.
If she were to dress up at this time, Daylily would be delayed. In fact, the younger sister also got up before dawn. Like Chen Ke, she paid homage to her family members and ancestors, and listened to Su Xun's instructions. Then she returned to her room.
Skillful makeup is applied on the temples, mixed with powder and painted on the face. Dotted on the lips, painted on the eyebrows, a pair of gold rings dropped under the ears. Gold, silver, pearls and emeralds were inserted all over the head, and gems and golden steps were hung around.
At this moment, she was wearing a brand new red dress embroidered with fine flowers, birds, insects and fish. The gorgeous dress was also covered with a gauze back, and a Sichuan brocade ribbon was tied around her waist, with a long silk sash hanging from it.
There are two jade pendants and jade rings tied to the sash, one jade pendant hangs at the knee, and the other jade pendant falls at the foot... Under her feet is a pair of beautiful pointy red embroidered shoes.
What a gorgeous little bride.
Hearing the music, the younger sister nervously twisted the handkerchief in her hands and said to her elder sister and several sisters-in-law: "Why am I so scared..."
"What are you afraid of? Your sister has only been married a few days?" Shi said with a smile: "I'm sure I won't make any mistakes if I'm familiar with the road."
At this time, poetry competitions were already taking place outside. In the Tang Dynasty, there were special poems to promote makeup. The elegance of the Song Dynasty people naturally had to be carried forward. Even if ordinary people got married, they would invite talented people to help them, so as not to lose too badly. Today, the Song Dynasty
Most of the elite scholars are gathered in this courtyard. Naturally, there is no need for anyone to catch the sword. You can come and go with me, how wonderful it is!
"Let's go out, don't waste too much time." Banniang, still dressed as a bride, said softly: "The official family is coming again."
"Look at the water thrown by a married girl," Shi shook her head and said, "This sister forgot she was a sister and just thought of herself as a sister-in-law." She deliberately went around and made everyone laugh. Su Xiaomei
Not nervous anymore, he stood up and said: "Let's go..."
"Look, another pot was poured out..." Shi laughed and everyone was stunned... The seven aunts and eight cousins led the bride to the door, but did not let the little girl pass. Instead, they sang songs to ask Chen Ke for the reward:
"It is best to bring the bride out with many gifts. This is no different from ordinary business. One hundred thousand, tied together is enough!"
"Since ancient times, gentlemen have not carried gold." Chen Ke said with a smile and cupped his fists. Before he finished speaking, the brothers beside him presented a lot of red envelopes. It was supposed that the bride could be taken out.
Unexpectedly, there is something wrong. Shi laughed and said: "I have heard for a long time that the groom is a man of wisdom and wisdom. We have three small questions. Answer them. The bride will take them away. If you can't answer them, I'm sorry, we can't bear to leave my sister-in-law... We are divided...
...Although there are only two updates, it is really time-consuming. There will be more updates tomorrow. Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket. It is a big day and I don’t want to be left behind...!~!
