On this day, as soon as the sky was 'cloudy' and 'cloudy', many people had already gathered on both sides of the street and pointed to the clean and tidy road. They have lived in Chang'an for a long time, how can they not understand that only members of the royal family, and extremely valuable members of the royal family, can have a huge pomp and circumstance that will be swept away by the guards one day in advance?
Ordinary people are married at dusk, at most at noon to start giving dowry, even if it is a dignitary and dignitary, do not want to attract too much attention, if it is not a high marriage but many dowries, there are many imperial histories around the wall of your house. Only the royal family, the pomp is too big, obviously living in one square, but they have to go around in the rest of the square markets to show their wealth and status, the royal prestige, and it is not good to memorize the good day and auspicious day, so the time for marriage is set earlier.
The people are often more enthusiastic about the affairs of dignitaries and nobles, especially like to join in the excitement of the wedding, so they get up early in the morning, just to occupy a good position and evaluate the bride's dowry.
It didn't take long for the crowd to be noisy: "Look, look, there's someone in the distance!" โ
"Wouldn't it? When is this time? โ
"Two years ago, His Royal Highness King Wei married his wife, and he only started to give a dowry from the time of his birth, right?"
"You know what? King Wei is the grandson of the emperor, and although Deng Xiang is the prime minister, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister. He is only married to a granddaughter, and the dowry is the confidence to decorate the "door", but it is not good to cross the royal family. This time, she married the only 'daughter' of His Royal Highness the Acting King and the Acting Princess, the county lord of Hailing, who had many fiefdoms, and it was the first among the many county lords. โ
"It turned out to be the 'daughter' of the acting king and the princess, no wonder! The princess is righteous, and the 'daughter' naturally cannot be wronged. โ
"That is, if we ordinary people are far away from home, and we don't know the future of life and death, our mother-in-law will also take our sons and daughters to remarry, who can put down our wealth and go into exile with our husbands? I heard that the acting king is very fond of the county lord of Hailing, and almost married half of the palace, which shows how much the acting king is 'excited' to the princess. โ
"Big brother also knows about such things?"
"Concession, concession, it's just that there is a relative who works as a bookkeeper in the shop under the name of the county mansion. In order to count the dowry of the county lord, the county government also sent someone to help, and naturally poured the inside information. I heard that the county lord's fiefdoms, Zhuangzi and shops are all good, and the acting king and princess are desperately adding things to the dowry, and the dowry list alone is half a person high. Where is this marrying a lady, it is simply hugging the mountains of gold and silver to go back. โ
Just when the people were gossiping and discussing, discussing how much the king and princess would give the 'daughter' their daughter, they heard someone shouting: "Look, the dowry is here!" Oh my God, look! โ
"This, this, look at that coral, is it four feet tall?"
"Even if not, it's fast, right? This thing is absolutely valuable! โ
"Fool, didn't you see this thing in the front line, didn't you see the adobe tiles, and it came? It's a gift, a gift! What good things are not in the palace? Do you need to make a fuss? โ
"There is no shortage of good things in the palace, but can you see it?"
"One, two, three, four, five...... How many things are there, and which of you has counted them? โ
"The eyes are 'flowered', where can I calculate clearly."
"I know, I know, seventeen have passed, and now eighteen...... Oh my God, this exquisite pagoda is so beautiful! โ
"I heard that the king of Dai believed in Taoism, and the sage gave this seven-story exquisite pagoda to his eldest son, but he didn't expect the king to give it to the county lord as a dowry."
The crowd was clamoring, excitedly discussing the pomp of the king marrying a 'woman', and the second son of the Su family, Su Rong, who was going to marry in the near future, listened to the slave's description of the wedding, but the atmosphere was a little low. Mrs. Annanbo complained about her husband Xing Chao a hundred and eighty times in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything, and she had to comfort the little 'daughter' softly: "The lord of Hailing County is a noble 'daughter' of the royal family, and she will be the 'woman' of the Su family's tomb, with a special status. You must not have any thoughts of competing with her, you need to know that the marriage of these two families is valued by the saint and the king of Wei, and the king loves the 'woman' heartily, if you get involved in it, you take on the burden in vain, and you are blamed by the saint and the two princes and princesses? Listen to your mother, after marrying, you only need to be filial to your mother-in-law, treat your sister-in-law well, and use your mind on your husband. Don't be the same as when you are in the boudoir, and you have to say goodbye when you see your sisters are better than you, understand? โ
The third lady pouted and nodded reluctantly, and Mrs. Annanbo almost burst into tears when she thought of the marriage of the little 'daughter'.
Although Xing Chao had the merit of pacifying Jiangnan, he sat back and watched the Jiang family frame and kill Xiao Yu and Zhao Su, and was hated by the saints. was made an earl, and his official position was higher, but he was hung high and no longer had real power.
Which of these dignitaries and nobles has a pair of sharp eyes without practice, and understands that Xing Chao has no future and does not associate with him? If it weren't for Xing Chao's still a little face in the army, King Wei needed help, and the reputation of the second son of the Su family was not very good, and this 'door' family would not be able to take their turn.
Although Mrs. Annanbo understood this, when she thought that her 'daughter' would face a husband who was intent on competing with her eldest son, who had a bad reputation and was not likely to be very trouble-free; her mother-in-law, who was very famous and was convinced by many 'women' and had a very good relationship with Princess Wei; and her sister-in-law, who was still younger than her 'daughter' and was of a very noble birth, and was said to be very unconscious, Mrs. Annanbo's heart burned like a fire. I am afraid that the 'daughter' will compare the Hailing County Lord with the Hailing County Lord in filial piety, which will make the Hailing County Lord unhappy; I am also afraid that the 'girl' will be more pregnant than the Hailing County Lord, and the atmosphere in the family will not be harmonious; I am also afraid that if the 'daughter' and the mother-in-law have a conflict, everyone will definitely listen to Mo Luan; I am even more afraid that Su Rong will think of something that I don't have, and I will pull the 'girl' or even the entire criminal family into it, but it is just ...... What can she do about what the man in charge decides? Is it possible that the 'daughter' is not filial to her aunt, is not sympathetic to her husband, and does not get pregnant early?
If the atmosphere in Annanbo's Mansion is very dull, the atmosphere in the Acting Palace's Mansion is quiet.
The policies of the Han, Yan and Xia dynasties towards the Hu people were quite open, and the exchange of caravans and intermarriages with each other brought many Hu customs to the Central Plains, and the weddings also changed from the quiet and dignified in the past to lively and lively - drumming and feasting, urging makeup but fanning, making it difficult for the groom.
For this wedding, the Wei Wang family naturally exhausted all means, prepared the manpower early, made hypnotic poems on behalf of the groom, and accompanied the drinkers...... There is everything, all of them are famous and very good young talents. I didn't even ask without a trace, Gao Ying, the only friend of the Hailing County Lord, has already married, not to mention the sisters, if you don't want to find someone to be the bride's servant, why don't you come out of our side?
They thought very well, and thought they were well prepared, but who expected that things would be stuck here in Qin Wan - Qin Wan directly cut the obstacle made by the embroidery lady to smash, and before Shen Man could reprimand, she preemptively insisted on using Zhou Rite to get married, and said: "This 'door' marriage is originally for the good of the two surnames, so it is natural to obey the great gift of the ceremony, and the gentleman is important." โ
How can parents not understand the thoughts of 'daughters'? The reason why the bride wants to be obscured is nothing more than that the wedding is lively, the banquet is full of guests, and there are many people. In order not to let others see the bride's face, these things were added. It is not so much the need for etiquette, but the man's inferior root 'sex' at work, except for the dearest family, only the husband can see the appearance of his wife.
This kind of symbolic "subsidiary" status is almost a move to show ownership, how could Qin Wan agree? Her meaning is very clear, and her attitude is also very resolute, the banquet guests can be, the wedding must be a "faint ceremony", especially the part of the welcome, must be in accordance with the weekly rites. It's not that she can't see anyone, what's wrong with being seen, I don't think anyone has the courage to be unhappy.
In fact, the guests who are qualified to participate in the marriage of the 'daughter' of the king are all first-class people with status, and the atmosphere of the king's mansion has become very quiet and serene, as if the noise of gongs and drums in the distance is not caused by them.
Su Yu was dressed in a Xuanduan dress, wearing a knight's head, and wearing a 'jade' saber, and after the ink car stopped at the big 'gate' of the Daiwang Mansion, he got out of the car.
In order to show respect for the 'daughter-in-law', the acting king should have gone to the big 'gate' to greet him, but the identity of the royal family was already more precious, so Su Yu went all the way to the second 'gate' and saw the person waiting here, Wei Tuo.
It stands to reason that the person who rejects the palace should be the palace sacrificial wine, Pei Xi returned to Luoyang three years ago, and the news came a year later, saying that Mrs. Luo died of illness, Pei Xi had to keep her filial piety for three years, and she couldn't come back for the time being. It was easy to accept the fact that the 'daughter' was going to get married, and after staying with her and Xuan, he spent a New Year at home, not to mention, and gave up his face to beg the saint to appoint a few worthy people to him.
The saint couldn't cry or laugh, and after asking his confidant and favorite general, he waved his hand and directly sent Wei Tuo over.
Wei Tuo had a good impression of the acting king, and thought that among the kings, the king of Wei was more promising, and the saints all made faces, so he naturally had no reason not to give it, and he should be very dedicated, so he asked Su Yu about it according to the etiquette, and Su Yu also complied with the understanding, and replied: "My son ordered a certain order, so that a certain general would be ordered." โ
He was born quite well, with handsome eyebrows and trim eyes, Ying 'Ting' is very, and his face is also very calm, and anyone who sees it has to praise "calm and appropriate". If he hadn't met Wei Tuo, maybe he could have been deceived by him, thinking that his mood was not 'lustful', but unfortunately, the sage sent Wei Tuo. Thinking of the appearance of the king smiling and unwilling to accept his fate, and then looking at Su Yu who used "calm" to cover up his displeasure in front of him, Wei Tuo sighed lightly in his heart, and was a little dissatisfied with the groom, but he didn't show it, and said lightly: "A certain solid respect has a must." Then he quietly took a step back, and watched the acting king and Su Yuweng's son-in-law worship each other and make friends. Zhou Li is solemn, a large set of etiquette down, quiet and dignified, there are hundreds of people in the huge courtyard and hall, but no one makes a sound. However, the groom went to the court with his father-in-law, and after inviting the bride, after a while, he could afford to hear the sound of 'pumping' one after another, accompanied by the sound of cups and plates falling to the ground, which made people jump.
