189 Saburo personally went to the levy

Since the Han Dynasty, weddings have had certain procedures, namely "Nacai", "Asking for Names", "Naji", "Nazheng", "Invitation" and "Welcome". In particular, the high-ranking families will abide by the six rites in the "Book of Rites".

Nacai refers to the man's family asking the matchmaker to go to the woman's house to propose, and after the woman's family agrees to propose marriage, the man's family prepares a gift to propose. Asking the name refers to the man's family, and the matchmaker asks the woman's name and date of birth. Najib pointed out that after the man's family received good luck, he prepared a gift to inform the woman's family and decided to enter into a marriage. Na levy refers to the male family to the female family to give a dowry gift, also known as Na Yuan. Invitation refers to the man's family choosing the marriage date, preparing a gift to the woman's family, and asking for her consent. Greeting means that the groom personally goes to the woman's house to marry.

The wedding of the emperor and queen is even different, and the ceremony is more solemn and exquisite. In order to marry the queen, the emperor also has to give a bride price to his father-in-law's family, but since the Han Dynasty, the emperor Nacai will not go in person, but will send suitable courtiers to go, and will not go to the top to marry in person, which is sent to the door by the wife's family.

The bride price is a real gift for the emperor's father-in-law. For example, in the Han Dynasty, only gold had to be given more than 10,000 catties, not to mention other valuable things. Naturally, there are no gold catties in the Mu Fushu space, and things worth more than these gold abound. Just take out something that the natives haven't seen before and blind a group of people.

Due to the rush of time, the first few steps have been streamlined. There is no need to ask for a date, and the time of the wedding is announced to the world after being watched by Qin Tianjian, and only the levy and personal welcome remain.

Early in the morning of the sixth day of the new year, San Lang set off from the palace, accompanied by Cui Yuanqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and went to the eldest princess's mansion with a dowry.

Throughout the ages, no emperor is personally on the father-in-law's family to levy, Sheng Kangdi set a precedent, the same, since the beginning of Sheng Kangdi, all men in the Great Sui are personally on the old Taishan family to levy, after all, no one's status is higher than the emperor, only those who can't get out of bed can be exempted from the levy in person, which also happens to give the bride a chance, if the other party is sick or disabled, know in advance and have a preparation, will investigate clearly, to avoid being washed or deceived to marry.

Cui Yuanqi was a little worried after getting the gift list that had been deleted by San Lang the day before yesterday, he took great pains to search for the inner treasury that could almost be said to be pitiful, and finally found a dowry that was acceptable for sixty lifts, but was swept away by San Lang with a big stroke, half of it was gone, and his anxious hair turned white.

Cui Yuanqi always thought that San Lang had true feelings for his granddaughter, and he was no worse than his two sons-in-law (you are so embarrassed!). It's just that he didn't expect that the dowry he kindly collected was crossed out in half, doesn't this show that he doesn't pay attention to the future queen? If these thirty dowry gifts are taken out, won't his granddaughter be looked down upon by the world!

So early in the morning of the sixth day of the new year, Lord Shangshu entered the palace with a resentful face, and reluctantly went to the treasury after saluting San Lang. When I arrived at the door, I saw dozens of dowry gifts neatly piled up on the ground, which were only a lot more than sixty at a glance. Frightened, he stepped forward to take a closer look, and the first time he lifted it, he was scared all over!

It was a sandalwood screen. Of course, the screen is not valuable, the value is that the screen is glass, and it is a double-sided embroidered screen, the embroidery on both sides is different, the screen frame is the best sandalwood, and there is a strange fragrance from afar.

In addition to the glass screen, there are also agarwood relief thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, feng shui wheel pastoral fountain flowing water landscape ornaments, glass bowls, ceramic painted plum blossom floor lamps, crystal apple ornaments and so on......

In fact, these are all swept in the gift area when Mu Fushu was moving things in the supermarket warehouse at that time, and many of them had to be plugged in to use, and now they can be taken out as ornaments to scare people. After all, the modern workmanship is exquisite, and the colors are beautiful. Like the feng shui wheel ornament, it looks like a rockery stone carving, but it is actually made of resin, and the waterwheel villains on it are lifelike, even the moss is like the real thing, as long as you don't touch it with your hands, you can't tell it.

There are a lot of crystal pearls and the like that Mu Fushu took out in jewelry, which are not worth much in modern times, but they are hard to find here, not to mention the exquisite design, and even the cloisonne bracelets that cost dozens of yuan made Cui Yuanqi amazed.

As for the clothing fabrics, Mu Fushu only has ready-to-wear space, so he chose some good materials to roll up, and the appearance of the exposed outside looks like a roll of fabric, although the amount is small, but those materials are exquisite, especially the calico, which cannot be made at all in this era.

The dowry was naturally to be carried to the eldest princess's mansion, and San Lang sat in the carriage, not to mention the mighty along the way, the scene could be regarded as grand.

Today is the day when the son-in-law comes to the door to recruit the guests, and the real daddy Cui Chongyu is majestic and dignified at the gate of the mansion to welcome guests.

Of course, if San Lang wasn't the emperor, he wouldn't need to go out as a father-in-law, just sit in the house and drink tea and wait, but who called him a son-in-law?

Cui Chongyu waited at the door early, the door of the eldest princess's mansion was wide open, and two rows of energetic subordinates stood at the door in neat green clothes with solemn faces.

Saburo's car drove over, Cui Chongyu took two steps forward, and greeted Saburo when his carriage arrived at the door, Saburo got out of the car, Cui Chongyu saw the national ceremony, and then it was Saburo who saw the family ceremony. Cui Chongyu let, San Lang saluted again, Cui Chongyu let again, San Lang saluted again, if so, San Lang was half a step ahead of Cui Chongyu, and Weng Son-in-law walked inside.

The people of Chang'an City knew that they were accepting the levy today, and there were people waiting on the halfway road early in the morning to watch the levy ceremony. The first lift was two live geese, which stunned the eyes of passers-by. It's winter, and there are no geese in Chang'an. These two were found in the space with the help of Dapeng, and unlike the geese outside, these two were very big and bright, and they didn't need to tie ropes, only tied to their feet with two big red knots, and stood in the first place.

The second lift is the double-sided embroidered glass screen. As soon as he appeared, someone who knew the goods shouted: "Liuli! It's glass! ”

Glass and glass are not the same. The glazed glaze system of this era became popular a few decades ago, and it is called ancient glaze, also known as dewaxed glaze. It is made by hand using ancient bronze lost-wax casting technology, and after more than 10 handmade processes of fine grinding, the crystal glazed mother stone is melted on the furnace at a high temperature of more than 1000 °C and naturally condensed into a noble and gorgeous, heavenly and self-clumsy glaze. Its colors are colorful and beautiful; The quality is crystal clear and dazzling.

The glass is colorful, opaque, and rarely has a solid color. Glass is transparent, and in the eyes of those who "know the goods", it is naturally more valuable than glass.

At this time, everyone no longer paid attention to the rare double-sided embroidery of the screen, but stared at the glass that occasionally flashed under the reflection of the early morning sun, and kept praising it.

The palace and the eldest princess's mansion are close to each other, and Na Zhengli has entered the gate of the princess's mansion here, and the last lift over there has not yet left the palace gate.

The front yard was lively, Cui Chongyu greeted San Lang with a red face, and Yang Weng also went to greet guests outside the mansion. Today is not only a levy ceremony, but also many people take the opportunity to come over to add makeup.

Mu Fushu got up early in the morning, and was pressed by Aunt Xiyu to put on a grand auspicious dress, and he couldn't wear a bun before he could do it, and he couldn't do kung fu on his head, so he could only do kung fu on his body: the upper body was a big red woven gold satin, and he wore sixteen auspicious cloud phoenix tail skirts, and the brocade colored gold shawl was embroidered with delicate patterns, and the shoulders were also inlaid with pearls and gems.

He wore five or six gold bracelets, three jade bracelets, and five rings on his hands, and a pair of gold-inlaid jade earrings hung heavily on his ears.

Mu Fushu felt that he was shining with gold now, and the whole person looked so rich!

Makeup is not for anyone to come, but to make friends with the bride and a lady with a noble family. Mu Fushu doesn't know many little ladies, and the closest ones are those little ladies who are the Wen family, except for their own family. Among the little ladies of the Wen family, the eldest who has not yet married is Wen Jiayuan, the daughter of Wen Qingdong, Wen Shilang, who is fourteen years old and has already promised someone. The others are all introduced by her, and occasionally those who don't know each other are also introduced by the little lady who knows Wen Jiayuan. For a while, the room was full of laughter and joy.

Mu Fushu is not a very lively character, and he is not very good at adjusting the atmosphere. Fortunately, Wen Jiawei has a lively personality, took the lead in taking out a delicate bead flower, and said a lot of auspicious words, and the other little ladies also took out their own makeup gifts, which are enough and valuable in Mu Fushu's opinion!

She is the future queen, her mother is the eldest princess, she is the most noble lady in the whole Da Sui, and she is the most noble among the married women. Therefore, each of those makeup gifts is heavier than the other.

It's really heavy!

Have you ever seen a pound of gold hairpins? Not to mention a gold bracelet thicker than handcuffs and a gold necklace comparable to a dog chain......

Mu Fushu felt that there was a golden light in front of him, a golden one that was more dazzling than the clothes on his body......

Naturally, adding makeup can only add jewelry, but the elders can give the land to the village, but the elders cannot. These little ladies were also selected by their families, and they were justifiably patted on the back. said that it was to add makeup, that is, to change the way to send money.

Most of the Gaomen clans of the Great Sui thought that the eldest princess and the new emperor had little money. Not to mention that Yang Weiai has been on the run for so many years, even the Huaiwang Mansion where San Lang is located has also been destroyed, they don't say that they are innocent, at least there will be no wise scholars who are rich in life.

This would be true if there was no room for Mu Fushu. Yang Weiai regarded money as dung before the age of sixteen, and money treated her like dung after the age of sixteen, forcing her to make money by selling words and paintings to support the government soldiers. Of course, her calligraphy and painting level is good, but it is really not easy to feed 5,000 people, but those scholars with vision and conscience pretend not to know that it is her, and on the surface, they buy anonymous works at a high price, and secretly contribute money and food to help her. After all, Yang Weiai was deeply favored by the emperor before, and was proud of her erudition, her calligraphy and paintings are generally collected by high-ranking families, how can there be no traces of her on those calligraphy and paintings?

Yang Weiai also knew that those who helped her were rewarded after San Lang ascended the throne, although it was only a good name, they were also very happy. for they have not money, but fame. With the reward of the new emperor, their family can continue to prosper.

The little lady who added makeup was very busy in and out, and the hugging qin and chess who were making records on the side were also very busy. On the contrary, Mu Fushu sat and talked to Wen Jiayuan, trying to make an amiable look of "I am noble" according to Aunt Xiyu's request. R1152
