"White Tiger Tongyi" has a cloud: those who are married are said to salute at dusk, so they are called married. In ancient times, weddings were held at dusk. Because according to the view of the I Ching, everything in the world has two poles, yin and yang, the sun is yang, and the moon is yin; The day is yang, and the night is yin; Men are yang, and women are yin. Dusk happens to be in the stage of yin and yang exchange, and it is "yang goes and yin comes", which is exactly the same as the meaning of welcoming the bride into the house, so the ancients chose to hold the wedding at dusk.

Although Cai Cao's wedding was entered by Cao Pi into Cai's family, he still followed the usual practice in welcoming relatives, that is, sending a deacon to Cao Ying to greet the groom during the day and holding the wedding in Qiying in the evening. However, it is worth mentioning that Qi Ying seems to be carrying out the ancient system to the end this time, in addition to the wedding system to follow the Zhou rites everywhere, Cai Ji also said "The wedding is not fun, and the righteousness of the yin is also; The wedding was not congratulated, and the order of the people was also "politely declined the congratulatory gifts sent by the other princes, and only accepted the reward of the Son of Heaven."

"There is no need for joy in weddings, and the righteousness of the shade is also; The wedding is not congratulated, and the order of the people is also" from the "Book of Rites. Suburban Special Animals". It turns out that in ancient times, weddings were regarded as a gift of darkness, that is, no music was played and no congratulations were given. So the weddings in the pre-Qin era were not lively. Even in the early Han Dynasty, some local officials were still confined to the Zhou ceremony, forbidding people to congratulate each other or even play music at weddings.

However, after all, marriage is a "very auspicious, very auspicious" happy event, and in an era such as the Qin and Han dynasties, which are keen on pleasure, it is impossible to continue the situation of the wedding not congratulating. So in the second year of Wufeng of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty officially issued an edict saying: "The gift of the husband's marriage is also the great one." The meeting of wine and food, so the ceremony is also happy. The present county country is 2,000 stones. or it is strictly forbidden to marry, and it is forbidden to drink and eat to congratulate each other. It is the gift of the party in the abolition of the township, which makes the people happy. It's not so that the people are also guided. …… Don't be harsh. This is the first time in Chinese history that the form of a government decree on the wedding is not congratulated, and since then the marriage and celebration have become the fixed customs of the Han nationality and gradually passed down to future generations.

In fact, in later generations, lively wedding customs such as wind and percussion music, tent casting, and haunting cave houses all originated in the Han Dynasty. Among them, the custom of the haunted house is particularly prominent. In the Han Dynasty, "on the eve of marriage, there is no difference between men and women", traditional etiquette can be ignored, and men and women can play casually. There are even records of drunkenness and murder in the cave room.

Therefore, in view of Cai Ji's special identity and the current situation is quite delicate, it is inevitable that people with ulterior motives will make "out-of-line" actions at the wedding. The whole camp agreed that the retro weekly system is not the order of congratulations, and it is the safest to hold the wedding in a closed environment. As for Cai Ji herself, she didn't care whether the wedding was grand or lively, and let her courtiers be busy buying a wedding for her.

However, Cai Ji's indifferent attitude made Cai Yan, who was grooming her, deeply confused and uneasy. In Cai Yan's opinion, Cai Ji is not nervous on his own wedding day. Don't be sad, don't be happy, at least there should be the shyness of a newly-married girl. However, the female prince in her wedding dress did not have any of these feelings, and her expression was calm and indifferent, as if what she was going to attend tonight was just an ordinary banquet.

Could it be that the Lord doesn't know what it is to enter the cave room? Or do you not plan to have sex with the groom at all? So after finishing dressing up for Cai Ji. Cai Yan couldn't help but put the comb aside. Cautiously asked, "The Lord is going to have a surplus tonight?" ”

The rest of the food is the bed ceremony. Cai Ji thought that Cai Yan was worried about her safety when she was in the cave room at night, so he happily bowed his head and said, "Madame, don't worry too much, Lord Duan Qi has already arranged the wedding tent." ”

Cai Yan saw that Cai Ji would be wrong, and she became more and more convinced of her judgment that Cai Ji was not good for men and women. After all, only the "ignorant" can be so fearless. In order to prevent his master from making a fool of himself in the cave room, Cai Yan leaned over Cai Ji solemnly and said, "The Lord is Mingjian." Heaven and earth are married, and all things are drunk; Men and women are dashing. Everything comes into being. The things in the house are related to the heirs, and you must know them. ”

This time, Cai Ji finally came back to her senses and realized that Cai Yan was going to sharpen the gun and teach her what was going on in the room. Originally, before the ancient lady got married, her mother would teach her daughter how to be a wife. Cai Ji lost her mother at an early age, and Cai Yan was instructed by Cai Yan as the female elder of the clan, and her common sense in this regard is understandable. It's just that Cai Ji's situation is more special. In this life, she is still a virgin, but Cai Zimei in the previous life still has some experience in the affairs of men and women, although these experiences are accompanied by a bitter memory.

However, regardless of whether the experience of the previous life worked or not, Cai Ji was embarrassed to let Wen Ji guide her through sexual affairs. So she hurriedly excused herself and said, "Lone has several volumes of "Taiping Techniques", and I know a little bit about room techniques. ”

Cai Ji's blushing face and twisting made Cai Yan breathe a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether Cai Ji learned the art of room from the "Taiping Yaoshu" as she herself said, at least this female prince's appearance at this moment finally has the appearance of a bride, so that people can feel that she is a flesh-and-blood person rather than a wooden clay sculpture that does not eat the fireworks of the world. I saw Cai Yan follow and bow down to resolve the embarrassment for Cai Ji and said, "If this is the case, the concubine wishes the lord Luanfeng and Ming tonight." ”

"Hmm." Cai Ji lowered his head and answered, not daring to say more.

The last time Cai Yan saw Cai Ji showing such a little daughter was on the shore of Weishan Lake, when Cao Pi borrowed a song "Autumn Hu Xing" to boldly show his love to Cai Ji, and the latter's cheeks turned red. Therefore, Cai Yan believes that whether it is Cai Ji or Cao Pi, the two still have some feelings. Of course, according to Cai Ji's previous unsmiling appearance, his feelings for Cao Pi should not be a concubine. However, the marriage of the children of the family has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, and Cai Yan's first marriage is also the product of marriage. Very few people who marry can get married after three years like Cai Ji and Cao Pi. It's a pity that the marriage between the two of them is mixed with too many deceitful and entangled interests, and it is destined to be full of ups and downs from the beginning.

At this moment, Cai Yan, who was a person who had come over, spoke earnestly to Cai Ji and said, "Although Cao Gongzi is not the person in the heart of the master, it is still unknown whether he has been with the master for three years or is a good match. ”

After listening to what Cai Yan said, Cai Ji remembered Cao Pi's appearance of struggling to survive in Qiying all these years and the name of his son-in-law now, he couldn't help but wave his hand with deep feelings, "How can Lone dislike Zihuan." According to the identity of loneliness, it is to meet your sweetheart, but you can only watch from a distance and not get close. ”

Cai Yan obviously didn't expect Cai Ji to suddenly come up with such a sentence. Surprised, she hurriedly asked, "Why did the Lord say this?" ”

Cai Ji smiled wryly and asked, "Married to a lonely person." He will be a son-in-law, and he will be criticized by the world. Who is willing to sacrifice so much for a man in the world? ”

"The Lord is wrong to say this. That is, the person in the heart of the Lord must be the dragon and phoenix among the people, and how can he care about the words of fools and fools. Cai Yan retorted. Obviously, Cai Yan still hopes that his lord can harvest a successful marriage and love from the bottom of his heart.

But Cai Ji knew that the trials that the man who became his husband would have to endure were far beyond human endure. Because she was originally walking a thorny road, there was no reason to drag her beloved to hell together. In an instant, the memories of the two lives were intertwined, which made Cai Ji involuntarily sigh, "Even if he is willing, he is reluctant to be alone." Strike. If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight? ”

In other words, Cai Ji has always kept silent about men and women. And she had politely rejected Cao Ang's show of love before, and now she sacrificed her own marriage in order to win the world. This made everyone inside and outside the camp think that she was indifferent to the love between men and women. Until listening to what Cai Ji said at this moment, Cai Yan knew that the seemingly indifferent female prince in front of him was far more delicate than people imagined. Thinking about the women in the world facing their beloved, most of them pursue "mountains without tombs." Heaven and earth are combined. Dare to be with the king", hoping to be protected by his lover. And it is rare to find a woman like Cai Ji who positions herself as a guardian and is willing to give up for love.

"If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight......" Cai Yan recalled the poems that Cai Ji recited, and then said with heartfelt emotion, "The Lord is a strange woman!" ”

And at the stall where Cai Ji and Cai Yan were talking, they overheard Duan Emei reporting loudly outside the tent, "Your lord." The new son-in-law also entered the camp. ”

Cao Pi was dressed in a knight's suit and a dark shirt. Dressed in a red drapery, white silk single clothes, and red clothes, he also rode into the camp in a carriage as he did three years ago. Only three years later, he was slender enough to support a wide suit, and at the age of sixteen, he already understood what his marriage to Cai Ji meant.

"Ask your new son-in-law to get out of the car." With the deacon's shout, Cao Pi slowly stepped out of the carriage, and against the backdrop of the torches, he saw two rows of armor soldiers standing with their swords hanging from their swords, and a road leading directly to the Chinese army's tent. The atmosphere was so solemn that it didn't look like a happy event at all. Cao Pi was obviously prepared for this, and in the face of the hostile gazes cast by him, he immediately took a step towards the big tent.

The wedding bride of the Han Dynasty did not cover her head, and the husband and wife did not pay homage. Cao Pi must perform the Wo Ceremony before entering the tent, that is, after washing his hands and face, he can sit opposite the bride, which is called the opposite seat. The position of the opposite seat, male west and female east, means that the yin and yang will be gradual.

At this time, Cai Ji was also dressed as a bride in pure clothes, and what was even more rare was that she also painted makeup abnormally today, which became more and more bright and moving under the lights. After Cao Pi entered the table, the two leaned over each other. Then Cai Yan, who was in charge of presiding over the wedding, ordered someone to present the wine and meat prepared in advance to the two newlyweds.

Communal imprisonment is when newlyweds eat the meat of the same animal. Hewu refers to the husband and wife drinking with a gourd to hold a glass of wine, but the cup here is only to exchange cups with each other, not to hold their arms and drink "Jiao Bo wine". The melon has a bitter taste, and it must be bitter wine when used to hold wine. It is divided into two and symbolizes that the couple will be united into one by the wedding. Therefore, the husband and wife drink the wine together, which not only symbolizes the union of the husband and wife and the marriage forever, but also contains the deep meaning of letting the bride and groom share weal and woe.

The ceremony is the most important part of the whole wedding. When Cai Ji and Cao Pi drank each other's bitter wine, the wedding came to an end. The whole process was simple and solemn, only Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Xin Bi and other Qi camp civil and military personnel were present to testify, but with a very strong religious atmosphere.

After the wedding, Cai Ji and Cao Pi got up and left the table with the support of the waiter and went to the rear wedding tent to join the bed. However, Cao Pi was stopped by Duan Emei in the middle of the road, "Please ask the new son-in-law to bathe and change clothes with the concubine." ”

As a son-in-law, Cao Pi couldn't raise any objections, so he had to follow Duan Emei to another camp. As the curtain was lifted, a puff of steam rushed in, and in the middle of the mist, a huge bath filled with water was placed in the center of the tent. When the two attendants guarding by the bathtub saw Cao Pi enter the account, they immediately stepped forward to untie the sword at his waist with dexterous hands, took off the crown and hat, took off the layers of dresses, and even the hairpins, rings, jade pendants and other small objects were taken off and placed on the tray on the side.

Cao Pi knew that this was the other party searching him in the name of bathing and changing clothes, but he did not make senseless resistance. As the last shred of dignity as a child of the family, Cao Pi raised his head without saying a word, let the attendants serve him to bathe and wash, wipe his body clean, apply sesame oil, and finally put on a white and soft robe.

Duan Emei stood aside with her hands and arms, and observed how Cao Pi changed her clothes and bathed throughout the whole process. When he saw the young man with his hair and feet standing in front of him with a posture that was neither humble nor arrogant, Duan Emei's face finally showed a smile of satisfaction. I saw her open a corner of the tent, bowed down and saluted Cao Pi, "New son-in-law, please." ”

It was only at this time that Cao Pi realized that the camp tent where he bathed and changed clothes was only a curtain away from the wedding tent. The orange light hit Cao Pi's instep through the gap in the curtain, causing him to reach out and step on the bright red carpet. It was a huge tent that was six times larger than the previous tent. In the center of it is a high platform that looks like a couch, and the high platform is surrounded by a semi-transparent gauze tent, and there seems to be a woman sitting in it. However, Cao Pi did not rush forward to find out, because there were still four strong women guarding the four corners of the high platform. Thinking that he was going to have a round room with Cai Ji tonight under the surveillance of four strong women, Cao Pi had already planned for the worst in advance, and he couldn't help but mess up at this time.

And just when Cao Pi hesitated, he suddenly heard Duan Emei behind him urging again, "Please invite the new son-in-law into the cave room." ”

Cao Pi, who came back to his senses, set his eyes on the slender figure in the gauze tent, imagining the smile of the owner of the figure on weekdays. So after taking a deep breath and adjusting his feelings a little, Cao Pi once again mustered up the courage to step barefoot on the blanket offered by Hu Di and slowly walked up to the high platform and got into the gauze tent.

Cai Ji in the gauze tent is also long-haired and wearing a snow-white **. But Cai Ji's outfit could not calm Cao Pi's tension at the moment. I saw him kneel on the mat according to his old habits, bow down to Cai Ji in a slightly stiff posture, and bow, "Meet the Lord." ”

Cai Ji looked at Cao Pi who was prostrate in front of her. Unconsciously, the little boy who was once half a head shorter than himself has grown into a handsome young man, but the relationship between the two is like the wine they drank before, and the bond is full of bitterness.

After a sigh, Cai Ji took the initiative to take her husband's hand. She could feel Cao Pi's trembling and the calluses on the young man's hands, which were the traces left by his long-term practice of literature and martial arts. Cai Ji knows very well that under Cao Pi's deferential appearance, there is a heart beating to chase his dreams. Given Cao Pi's identity as Emperor Wei Wen in another time and space, Cai Ji was not sure if he could carry Cao Pi's dream in this time and space. But at least tonight she has to be responsible for her little husband.
