It was a good day!

Because today is the day of the marriage of the eldest prince!

To say that the eldest prince is really a rare good man in ancient times, in fact, people with a certain status like this have to take a side room before getting married, commonly known as the little wife. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, he also found a few for the eldest prince, but he shirked them, and he was very shy at the time and said that he was born stupid, and he didn't want to ruin so many women, so he just wanted to have a confidant.

I have to say that because of this concept, Lan Ruo is also more concerned about the eldest prince, so the candidates behind him can't sleep.

So now the eldest prince has no concubine except for a teaching maid (this is a must for the royal family, and the eldest prince cannot be embarrassed at the wedding).

Since the girl was chosen, the girl's family also agreed, and the eldest prince often went to other people's homes with gifts as guests, and it could be seen that he was really interested in other girls.

So I didn't grind, and soon asked the Ministry of Rites to set the date, because I was not the prince, there were not so many requirements, and I had to get engaged or something, everything was based on the principle of the sooner the better.

According to the weekly ceremony, there are six contents of the scholar's wedding: acceptance, asking for names, naji, acceptance, invitation, and personal welcome, which are called six ceremonies. The Six Rites have been used for thousands of years, and Qing Dynasty weddings also implemented their intentions, which were divided into three stages: marriage, engagement, and marriage. Marriage proposal is to choose the object, which is equivalent to accepting the lottery and asking for the name; Engagement is to establish the marriage contract between men and women, which is divided into small and large, small is equivalent to Najib, and large is equivalent to Nazheng; To get married is to hold a wedding, which is equivalent to welcoming in person.

There is no process of marriage negotiation for royal weddings, but instead of marriage by the emperor, the prince generally gets married when he is 15 years old. The marriage was designated by the emperor among the selected show girls, and the internal affairs government Xingwen Qin Tianjian selected the auspicious day for the marriage, and made a list of officials and wives who assisted in the wedding.

At that time, the minister of praise accompanied the father of the selected woman to wear a python robe to the east step of the Qianqing Gate, the woman's father knelt facing north, and the minister of praise stood facing west and read the holy decree: "There is a decree, and now a certain woman is matched with a certain prince for the blessing of Jin." ”

Fujin's father accepted the decree and withdrew after kneeling three times and bowing nine times. On the selected day, the prince wore a python robe and went to the Fujin house to see his parents, accompanied by the ministers of the interior, the ministers of the scattered provinces, the guards, and the guards. Arrived at the gate, Fu Jin's father wore a python suit to greet the door, the prince ascended to worship, Fu Jin's father replied three times, and saw Fu Jin's mother again with the same etiquette.

Preliminary determination: that is, the folk release ceremony, which is held on an auspicious day selected by the Qin Tianjian, and the content is that the emperor gave gifts to the Fujin family and held a wedding banquet in the Fujin family. The gifts are divided into two kinds, one is a ceremonial coin, which is given to Fu Jin himself, and will be carried back to the prince's mansion when he is welcomed; One is to give coins, which are given to Fujin's parents and family, and are real bride price.

It is divided into pavilions and the like, and the Minister of the Interior leads the deacons and others to go. Fujin's father wore court clothes to greet the gate, the ceremonial coins were displayed in the main hall, the coins were displayed on the steps, and the horses were displayed in the middle of the steps. After receiving the ceremony, Fujin's father led his children to kneel three times and bow nine times to the east of the palace under the middle step, and Fujin's mother led her daughters to go west under the middle step to kneel three times and bow three times.

Finally, the day of the wedding came.

On the third day of the ninth month, it is advisable to sacrifice, fast, tailor, close the account, make an alliance, marry, enter the house, meet relatives and friends, pray for blessings, ask for heirs, and go to the beam.

The tail star is the grace of the Lord, the wealth and glory are increased, the fortune is entered into the Baoxing family, the noble children and grandchildren of the marriage are harmonious, the sons and grandsons of the male and female are prosperous, and the princes are famous from generation to generation.

Early in the morning, the Grand Prince's Mansion (which has already been built) began to get busy. More than half of the officials in charge of etiquette in the Ministry of Etiquette rushed to help, and in all aspects, people were busy and dizzy.

On this day, it is said that the groom and the bride are the protagonists, but these two protagonists can only be at the mercy of others, even if the groom is high and powerful, and the bride's status is honorable, now a mere small official from Jiupin and an experienced old mother can command the two of them to turn around.

On the third pole of the day, the eldest prince's greeting team waited until the auspicious time, and the brocade bar Huangmen was hand-beaten.

Finally out of the house.

Originally, the Ministry of Rites planned to hold a wedding according to the ancient rites.

Weddings, dusk ceremonies, is to be married at dusk, don't you see that "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" also often describes the prince's family to welcome relatives, and the servant servant holds a candle torch in front of the groom's horse to open the way for lighting?

However, it is too much trouble to strictly follow the ancient rites, especially the status of the eldest prince, the greeting guests are like clouds, and there are many greeting guests from other places, if this wedding is not held until the evening, both the guests and the host can be disturbed.

In this era, many families have changed to hold weddings during the day, and there are not many people who strictly follow the ancient rites and greet their relatives at night.

The woman's home.

Baili Xiaoyu was dressed in a red wedding dress, with a phoenix crown and a red hijab on the four corners of his head, standing quietly, motionless, but the heart had become a small drum.

Xi Niang stood on the right side of Baili Xiaoyu, gently holding her hand, the maids who usually wait for Xiaoyu to get up are all married, all wearing new clothes, standing neatly behind her, after passing the door, it is still this set of original people waiting for their own miss, which can be regarded as Xiaoyu's henchmen in charge of the big prince's family.

The deafening sound of firecrackers rang out, Baili Xiaoyu's hijab moved slightly, and a pair of soft lids were crumpled at the bottom of her sleeves, and she thought nervously: "He's here!" ”

The music sounded, and it was very cheerful, and Baili Mansion was also dressed in red today, which was extremely festive. Xiaoyu stood inside for an unknown amount of time before she heard the sound gradually reaching the door.

She couldn't see anyone with her hijab, she only listened to the sound, and knew that the second brother had brought her in, and she had visited her father first...... Saluted to the other elders of the Baili family, and after a long day of work, the bride gently pushed the right arm of the hundred miles of Xiaoyu, and the rain knew that it was time to go out, so she was supported by the bride and walked forward in small steps.

After crossing the threshold, the second brother gave a happy speech, stepped up the steps, and her mother tied a small belt and a scarf for her, and was discharged from the hospital, and the eldest sister hung a silk bag and a smock for her......

The red felt paved the ground, the flowers flying, the eldest prince led his bride, was to walk three steps and stop, for more than half an hour, before sending his little daughter-in-law to the wedding car and sitting in the position of the groom.

He didn't raise the whip, only shook the reins, the four Taiping horses walked slowly, the wheels only turned three times, Xia Xun took the reins, dismounted, handed over the reins to the real groom, stepped on the red horse, rode back to the house, greeted the bride at the door, and sent the family team on the road.
