Chapter 200: Two Marriage Customs
合卺逢 (chūn) month, Fang Fei Dou Lihua, Luan Sheng lock bamboo leaves, phoenix pipe 合 (jiāo) flowers; The two stars in the sky are combined, the two jade boasts in the world, the light cold melts the embroidered curtain, and IKEA is praised from then on.
June 22 (rì), this (rì) is suitable for marriage, collection, travel, seeking medical treatment, curing diseases, opening the market, and migrating into the house, which is the zodiac auspicious (rì).
As soon as the day dawned, Fu Erniang, Shan Kui, Xu Biao, Li Sanjian's servants Zhai Liu, Hu Wuniang and others began to be busy, and even the young Li Nan was in and out, busy in and out, and some people from the neighborhood and the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion also came to help.
Li Sanjian has just entered the office, and his family background is still thin, so everything is simple to do, and Fu Erniang's mother and son can't afford a grand marriage.
But even so, the whole house is also slightly decorated, inside and outside are covered with red and hung colors, pasted with red paper, more than a dozen red lanterns with the word "happy" are hung under the eaves, and the walls are also hung with some ribbons, but the ribbons and so on are not replaced by red silk, so that a lot of costs are saved.
Even so, in order to prepare for the marriage, Fu Erniang and others were tired enough, but fortunately, Li Sanjian is about to receive a kiss today, and Fu Erniang is also bitter and willing, and she ushered in the most important moment in her life with Li Sanjian.
"Mother, children listen to the training!" Liangchenji (rì) has arrived, Li Sanjian knelt in front of Fu Erniang and said.
Before Li Sanjian went to Caifu to pick up his relatives, his father should be admonished in front of the door, but Li Sanjian's father had already died, so he was replaced by Fu Erniang.
今 (rì) Li Sanjian (shēn) wears a vermilion straight wedding dress, obliquely draped with a flower belt made of silk and satin, and a vermilion gold silk spider ribbon tied around his waist, which sets off the (shēn) material of Li Sanjian's pen (tǐng), wears a black-winged hat with two long hat wings on both sides of the hat, a vermilion hairpin flower obliquely inserted, a jade pendant tied around the waist, and long black hair lazily scattered behind the shoulders.
"Jian'er, my Jian'er... Fu Erniang looked at Li Sanjian with tears in her eyes and said.
Fu Erniang's tears are tears of joy and tears, tears of joy.
More than ten years have passed, and Fu Erniang finally saw this day. I saw the day of inheriting the lineage for the Li family.
Li Sanjian's father and brother passed away early, leaving Li Sanjian alone to Fu Erniang, Li Sanjian was still regarded as a "demented child" back then, Fu Erniang simply washed her face with tears, and the pain was not (yù) life, but Fu Erniang still gritted her teeth and persevered, raising Li Sanjian as an adult.
Today (rì) is Li Sanjian marrying Cai Rongxue (rì), is starting a family and starting a business (rì), why is Fu Erniang not so excited (rè) tears?
Even if he dies immediately, he will smile at Jiuquan, and he will face Li Sanjian's father Li Qing with a smile, Fu Erniang said secretly in her heart at this time.
"Mother?" Li Sanjian felt a little sad when he saw Fu Erniang like this, so he asked.
"Grandma... Wang Wen, who was holding Fu Erniang, also said softly.
"Oh, good, good." Fu Erniang patted Wang Wen's little hand and said, "Wait a minute, according to the customs of my Li family, I will preside over your visit to the church to get married." ”
Today (rì) Li Sanjian wants to pick up two pros... One is to marry Cai Rongxue according to the Han family customs, and the other is to marry Wang Wen according to the Li family customs.
"Ouch, Grandma, how did you mention me... Finish? I... I... The good day (rì) has arrived, don't miss the time. Wang Wen said shamefully.
"Oh, good, good." When Fu Erniang heard this, she hurriedly turned her head and said to Li Sanjian: "Go to Ying'er Xiang and inherit my sect." Reluctantly respectful, if there is constant. ”
Such a crepe made Fu Erniang die of embarrassment, but this is the etiquette of the Han family, and it must be so.
"No, I'm afraid of it, I don't dare to forget my life!" Li Sanjian replied respectfully.
At this time, the procession played joy, and Shankui brought a white healthy horse (shēn) covered with red silk and a large red flower tied on the horse's head.
Li Sanjian said goodbye to his mother, bowed his hands in a square gesture, thanked the neighbors, and then turned (shēn) on the horse, and walked towards Cai's mansion with the blowing and blowing of the welcoming procession.
Li Sanjian's residence is not far from Cai's house, it is only two or three miles, and the road is not far, but one is that there are too many people along the road to see (rè) noisy Shishu, almost crowded the streets on both sides, and the second is that according to custom, Li Sanjian must take the welcoming team along the city wall to pick up the bride in front of Cai's mansion.
This is called the full moon, and it is also called reunion, harmony and beauty.
There are not many people in the greeting team, and there are only twenty or thirty people, except for the drummers who are Shan Kui, Xu Biao, Liu Anjie, matchmakers, and some (jì) nv and sedan chair men.
The so-called (jì) nv here is not a leather (ròu) business, but according to the custom of hired from the city of Tokyo to receive relatives, these women almost all have a skill, or playing, or singing and dancing, to cheer up the wedding ceremony, these (jì) nv is also called the bride.
The sedan chair man carried the sedan chair and walked towards the Cai Mansion, and the bride sprinkled copper coins, rice, snacks and other things around, and many children who watched the rè were smiling and grinning and followed the team to grab and say some blessings loudly.
Although Fu Erniang and Li Sanjian's marriage is simple, some marriage customs are essential, such as hiring a sedan chair driver, a bride, a drummer, etc., so the cost is also a lot, without Zhao Ji's support behind him, Li Sanjian can't afford it at all.
But even so, Li Sanjian's greeting team still looks extremely shabby, not as good as the big families to receive relatives, and the greeting team of hundreds or thousands of people is often grandiose and grand.
After the welcoming team arrived at Cai's house, it was completely different, and the layout of Cai's house was completely different from Li Sanjian's residence.
The whole Cai Mansion is also decorated, and the surrounding trees are also hung with carmine veils, ten steps in a series, when there is no wind, it falls quietly, when there is wind, the carmine curtain flutters with the wind, and the whole Cai Mansion is filled with a festive atmosphere.
Hundreds of red lanterns covered with red silk cloth are hung all over Caifu, and at night they will be like bright stars, which will be extremely eye-catching, and all kinds of festive things are also available.
Cai's house seems to be not marrying a daughter, but marrying a relative... , the heritage of the noble family is really extraordinary.
"(jiāo) guests are invited to drink and drink tea." After the welcoming team arrived at the gate of Cai's mansion, they did not immediately pick up the bride, but to enter the mansion, be entertained by the people of Cai's mansion, drink wine and tea, have a meal or something, and give other gifts, such as silk, brocade, ornaments and so on.
This is called entertaining "Xinglang"!
In addition, the bride must bid farewell to her parents and ancestors, and after being admonished and dressed neatly, she will distribute bonuses, (yīn) falls, and good fortune for good fortune. Then the musician in the invited drum music will play the joy of urging makeup, and the "Ke Xuan Guan" will tell the time, and the tea and wine master of ceremonies will read poems to each other, urging the bride to go out, so that she can be taken out of the house.
Of course, the welcoming team also has gifts for Caifu, that is, vases, lamps and candles, incense balls, saro, makeup boxes, photo tables, skirt boxes, clothes boxes, green umbrellas, chairs, etc.
At this time, there was a sea of people in front of Cai's house, except that the people who greeted Cai's house were ordinary people who watched (rè) trouble.
The guests of Cai Mansion (jiāo) were all gathered outside the gate of Cai Mansion, and many of them had never seen Li Sanjian, but when they finally saw it, they couldn't help but praise it in their hearts.
What a handsome and dashing champion!
Singing and laughing in front of Cai's Mansion was extraordinary, and in the midst of singing and laughing, Li Sanjian and others were welcomed into Cai's Mansion.
"The little son-in-law knocks on Lord Taishan! Lord Taishan, Hail Jin'an! The bridegroom, Li Sanjian, was first introduced into the middle hall of the Cai Mansion, and the owner of the Cai Mansion, Cai Jing, sat in the middle hall in a festive costume and looked at Li Sanjian with a smile, and there were several people next to Cai Jing (shēn), who should be the elders of the Cai family.
"East (chuáng), please get up, watch the seat and serve tea." After Li Sanjian finished giving the salute, Cai Jing smiled slightly, and gave Li Sanjian a hand.
Li Sanjian bowed his hand and gave another salute, and sat down on Cai Jing's left side with a chair.
Sure enough, Li Sanjian secretly praised in his heart at this time, Cai Jing's bearing was extraordinary, and after wearing the wedding clothes, it was even more so, he looked unusually refreshed and extraordinary, more than fifty people, and he actually looked like he was in his early forties.
Between the movement of qi, the cultivation of the body, and the conversation, the attitude is gentle, and the behavior is gentle, which seems to be abnormally advanced and retreated.
Compared to Cai Jing, the first person sitting in the guest seat was much worse, this person was also around fifty years old, but he looked much older than Cai Jing, and at the same time his skin was wrinkled, darker, and shorter, like an old farmer.
It should be the brother of Lord Taishan, right? Li Sanjian secretly guessed in his heart.
"How's this son?" Cai Jing then asked the "old farmer".
"Sure enough, he is suave and suave, and he deserves to be the champion of the new department, and he has a good son-in-law like this, what more can the husband ask for? Congratulations brother. The "old farmer" smiled as he touched the white goat's beard under his chin.
"Haha, my brother is very happy for my brother like this," Cai Jing said to Li Sanjian with a smile when he heard this: "Come, Dong (chuáng), this is your uncle, hurry up and give your uncle a salute." ”
Cai Jing originally planned to dedicate Cai Rongxue to the palace, but one was that the first emperor Zhao Xu was mourning, so he couldn't do this, and the other was that Zhao Ji had already given a dowry for Li Sanjian, so wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing to send Cai Rongxue to the palace again? Wouldn't it make Zhao Ji have nowhere to put his face?
At the same time, it is not a second to be able to recruit a champion to his door.
"Son-in-law Sanjian visits his uncle!" Hearing this, Li Sanjian hurriedly sat down and saluted.
It turns out that he is the deputy minister of the court? The official is still the book, Zuo Cheng, and the middle scholar.
It really doesn't look as good as his own Lord Taishan, it's really a person who can't look good, and the sea water can't fight, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.
So far, Li Sanjian still doesn't know or hasn't noticed that his Taishan Lord is surnamed Cai Mingjing。。。。。
