Chapter 242: A Cumbersome Wedding

The old lady babbled a lot, mostly about how husband and wife get along. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info said that the head is the way, the mouth is like a river, the spit is flying, and there is a posture of talking for three days and three nights. However, most of them followed, and it was the woman who made compromises in exchange for a lifetime of respect.

And most of the stories she tells are seen in picture books. She has been in this deep palace almost all her life, she has never seen anyone else, she has never seen other men, and she is surrounded by all kinds of concubines and intrigues.

Naturally, she would not tell Princess Zi Tao, who was about to get married, about how to intrigue between concubines. She can't say anything about the masters, in case she is annoyed by any taboos, and someone with a heart hears it, and she adds fuel and vinegar to it, then she doesn't want to have a good old age.

And, in her opinion. The relationship between the concubines in the palace and the Chu Emperor is not love, it can only be regarded as a transaction.

Those who like the Chu Emperor are not favored, and those who do not like the Chu Emperor are proud and deeply favored.

This is the unchanging rule of the harem.

So, in her eyes. The true and false stories in the picture book have turned into the married life she is looking forward to in her eyes.

I can't help but sigh sadly, and I can't help but say pitiful.

After talking about the way of getting along with husband and wife that she had read from the picture book, the old lady only felt that her mouth was dry, so she picked up the tea on the table and drank it all.

She felt that she had spoken very well, and Princess Purple Peach should be able to know a lot about how to get along with husband and wife, and she should be able to enlighten herself.

She looked at Princess Peach's face, thinking that she would see a thoughtful face, but she didn't, she still saw a dumbfounded face, as bright as a peach blossom.

The old lady didn't plan to speak, she still couldn't do anything about the master's affairs, and she couldn't help it just now, so she said a lot of words.

She combed Princess Purple Peach with several different hairstyles, but Princess Purple Peach didn't like it, her eyes were dull, and her face was pale and pale.

Sikong Yi, who walked in from the outside, saw a beautiful woman like wood staring blankly at himself in the mirror.

The old lady saw Sikong Yi in the mirror and opened her mouth to ask for luggage. Stopped by Sikong Yi, the old lady retreated with interest, he stepped forward and stood beside Princess Zi Tao: "Her Royal Highness the princess seems to be unhappy? ”

"The person who made Hongu happy is gone." Princess Purple Peach said.

"You don't have to say yes to this marriage." Sikong Yi said, "It's too late to regret now, the minister is not the kind of person who goes all the way to the end." ”

"You have other ideas." Princess Purple Peach looked at Sikong Yi printed in the mirror and said loudly.

"No matter what Her Royal Highness the princess thinks, the minister has no opinion." Sikong Yi said, took out a hairpin from his arms, and inserted it into Princess Purple Peach's hair, "This is the ......" He said halfway, paused, and then said, "This is a newly bought hairpin, do you see if it fits?" ”

"General Lao bothered." Princess Zi Tao said, "Actually, the person you want to marry you is the old lady of Sikong Hou Mansion, but unfortunately, it is I who married you, I want you, and I have been looking at the person you like in my heart, but I have never been able to get it." and to live a loving life with another woman. ”

"Sikong Yi, this is what you owe me."

"However, Her Royal Highness seems to have forgotten that it is you who have been chasing after the minister." Sikong Yi said the truth, "Now. The ministers decided to marry Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Her Royal Highness the Princess herself agreed, so why do you want to blame the ministers? It's not good to marry Her Royal Highness, and it's not good not to marry Her Royal Highness. So, please make it clear to Her Royal Highness the princess, what should the minister do? ”

Dumbfounded by the question, Princess Zi Tao was stunned, and showed a smile at Sikong Yi: "It's the palace that is impulsive, the general, please go back." This wedding will be held in accordance with the general's wishes, a wedding in the Central Plains. ”

The wedding was also proposed by Sikong Yi, he said, according to the wedding model in the Central Plains, to give Princess Zi Tao a different, different wedding from other people.

After a short period of thought, Emperor Chu also agreed to this request. Only Princess Zi Tao, after hearing the news, felt chills all over her body when she came to congratulate herself in the palace and found a careful and considerate congratulatory voice.

The old lady of Sikong Houfu is from the Central Plains, and when she married the old marquis, she used the wedding model of the Central Plains.

Sikong Yi regarded himself as a stand-in, and at the wedding, he must have thought of the old lady of the Hou Mansion, not himself.

Make wedding garments for others.

In the end, it turned out to be a stand-in.

Congratulations like this, Princess Zi Tao laughed fiercely in the full hall of congratulations.

Weddings in the Central Plains are very cumbersome and exquisite, first of all, the letter of appointment.

A letter of appointment, a letter of engagement, and a formal marriage contract between a man and a woman. Najib (over the text) is used. The letter of appointment is followed by a letter of gift - the book of gifts, that is, a list of gifts, which lists the types and quantities of gifts in detail. It is used when paying for levy (excessive gifts). Then there is the book of marriage: the book of the bride. It is used when picking up the bride on the wedding day (personal welcome).

After the three books, it is Nacai, which is the head of the wedding in the Central Plains, and when the woman is like, the matchmaker is invited to be the matchmaker, which is called Nacai, which is now called "proposing". After that, it is also a question of the name, and the man asks the woman's name and birthday time, and asks for the name of the person with a good omen, which is now called "Hebazi". Then there is Najib, if the name is an auspicious omen, send a matchmaker to give a small gift, called Najib, now known as "Guo Wending" or "Xiaoding". This is followed by the levy of gifts, cakes, gifts and offerings, etc., that is, the formal dowry gift, which is called the levy, which is now called the "great gift". After these have passed, it is the invitation period, and the man asks the fortune teller to choose the day, which is called the invitation period, also known as the "begging day", and now it is called the "day".

In addition to these, there are many cumbersome things, such as changing the Geng spectrum, after the matchmaker proposes marriage, if the men and women are in line with each other, there is no conflict, and they will exchange the Geng spectrum of the two families with each other as the initial evidence of engagement. Too much, too big a gift......

There are so many cumbersome things, is it to let the man know that it is not easy to marry a bride, and to cherish this marriage, or to completely recognize the woman after doing so?

Originally, Princess Peach's wedding in the Central Plains was longed for by many women, and when Her Royal Highness Princess Peach's sisters who were close to her knew that there were so many cumbersome things, they all shook their heads, "There are so many things to do, if I finish it completely, I will die of old age a long time ago." ”

"It turns out that marrying Kaolin Flower is not easy. But I'm tired of Princess Zi Peach, but fortunately, I'm going to marry someone from Sikong Houfu. (To be continued.) )
