Chapter 377: Tying the Knot
"Son-in-law?"
As soon as the words fell, Guan Ping's originally happy look suddenly came back to his senses, this matter was so unexpected that he was extremely anxious and a little caught off guard.
After groaning for a while, he instinctively wanted to refuse, but the words suddenly stopped when he came to his mouth, and he couldn't help but ponder secretly: "No, I can't refuse so directly, Yang Ju is also the king of Di, as the lord of one party, if I refuse bluntly, I will lose face, and at this stage, I still need to rely on the power of the Qiang people, and the relationship can't be too stiff." ”
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Guan Ping, and he arched his hand and said: "The daughter of King Di, the young general has indeed seen it, if you talk about the figure and face, it is really beautiful." ”
"But when it comes to marriage, King Di must not, the young general's qualifications are dull, and he already has a wife in the family, Miss Yang's status is so noble, how can the young general be worthy of it?"
After the words slowly fell, Yang Ju, Yang Wan, father and son heard this, and a trace of different color involuntarily rose on their faces, and they looked at each other, a little overwhelmed!
This...... They hadn't thought about Guan Ping's existing wives and concubines before, and now that they are marrying a little girl, according to Han etiquette, wouldn't their daughter only be a concubine?
"As a concubine, if you insist on this, I am afraid that this will be extremely unfair to the younger sister, and it will also have an impact on my father's investment in the Shu Han court."
A moment later, Yang Wan leaned over to his father and whispered.
Just when the two of them were thinking, Yang Zhen suddenly flashed out of nowhere at this time, appeared in front of Guan Ping, with a little sadness on his face but an unquestionable gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Ma Ping, I don't care that you have a wife, although the world is big and there are many men, but you will not marry in this life." ”
"You saved my life a few days ago, then my life will be yours from now on, what does it matter if you marry you?"
A very straightforward but somewhat shy remark, Yang Zhen actually shouted out in front of the public, his tone between the words was high, but his face was calm, without a trace of ups and downs.
"The next marriage is up to my father and brother."
After bowing his hand, Yang Zhen left quickly after expressing his intentions.
Subsequently, Guan Ping couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face, and said helplessly: "It seems that she is relying on me, whether I agree to this marriage, if Lin'er knows that I will marry another room outside, can I accept it?" ”
In fact, Guan Ping's reluctance to marry again is still due to his wife Zhao Lin.
And at this moment, Yang Ju's father and son saw Yang Zhen's words, Yang Wan blinked, and couldn't help whispering: "Father, according to the current situation, the little sister has completely fallen in love with Ma Ping, according to her nature, even if I don't want to, I'm afraid she won't accept it." ”
After that, Yang Ju looked at Guan Ping for a moment before sighing: "Alas, Ma Ping, since the little girl has fallen in love with you, then the king of this book should be perfect as his father!" ”
At this point, his tone softened slightly, and he paused: "But this king just wants to verify that if the little girl really marries General Ma, can you treat her well?" ”
As soon as these words fell, Guan Ping knew that today's family affairs could not be avoided, so he had to reluctantly show a smile on his face, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, if Miss Yang really marries the young general, the young general will treat her well for the rest of her life, if she violates this word, she will be destroyed on the same day!" ”
An extremely solemn and heavy cheer fell.
"Good!"
received Guan Ping's solemn reply, Yang Ju was also in a very good mood, and directly agreed to the marriage of the two, and the wedding ceremony would not be held two days later.
"King Xie Yi values it!"
Seeing this, Yang Wan couldn't help but smile again and quipped: "Haha, my brother-in-law is still called King Di, should I change my words?" ”
“……”
Inside the tent of the Han military camp.
"The last general congratulates the major general."
"Congratulations, big brother."
For a while, Guan Suo, Liu Jia and other generals of the Han army heard that King Baima was so important that his generals wanted to marry his daughter, and they all showed joy on their faces and congratulated them unanimously.
"You better stop making fun of me."
Hearing this, Guan Ping's expression was a little depressed, and he waved his hand and said: "When I led you to leave Jingzhou, Lin'er was already pregnant, and now it is close to August, presumably she is about to give birth, but now I am marrying another woman outside, I don't know how she will feel after learning about it, will she be sad?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Guan Ping was not full of joy, but felt a strong sense of guilt.
Looking at his brother's state of mind at this time, Guan Suo on one side also knew that he was not comfortable marrying a wife, so he had to pretend to smile and comfort: "Brother, don't worry, sister-in-law has always been well aware of righteousness and reasonableness, she will definitely be able to understand the bitterness and unspeakable hidden in your heart, brother." ”
"After all, you also had to do it as a last resort with the help of the Qiang people's soldiers and horses!"
"I hope so."
Hearing this, Guan Ping reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and then said, "I just hope that this move won't hurt Lin'er's heart." ”
……
In the next two days, the whole Baimaqiang seemed to be boiling, and almost every family of tribes was putting up lights, and all Qiang people were traveling in unison, visiting relatives and friends to announce the Quartet.
The daughter of the king of Di, whom they respected, was about to get married, and she was also married to the general of the Han army who had just broken the strong thieves a few days ago.
For a time, the patriarchs of the Qiang people of the various tribes of Baimaqiang and Qu Shuai came to say goodbye with gifts more and more, and even because of this battle, Baimaqiang swept away the rebellion of the strong end with lightning speed, and it was even more prestigious, and it shocked Xirong.
Some of the Di tribes in remote areas also have plans to make friends with Baimaqiang, and they also sent envoys to congratulate each other with gifts.
In the past two days, the royal tent was also unprecedentedly lively, and Yang Ju and Yang Wan's father and son not only had to settle the people who came to say goodbye, but also to arrange the wedding scene.
The wedding of the Han Dynasty was not as simple as the four-step process of sending it into the cave house in later generations, and the steps and ceremonies of the wedding were numerous and extremely complicated.
The most important thing in the process of the wedding from the proposal to the completion of the marriage is to follow the six rites, which are divided into the pre-marriage Nacai, Naji, Naji, Nazheng, Invitation, and Greeting.
And Nacai is the first of the six rites, there is the "Book of Rites, Duyi" day": Nacai, it is said that the gift of selection, so the Dusk ceremony is issued, and the goose is also adopted. But if it is commonly understood, it is equivalent to the man in the future to prepare a gift and invite the matchmaker to go to the woman's house to say that the matchmaker is proposing.
Asking for a name is to ask the matchmaker to ask the woman's surname, mainly to prevent consanguineous marriages with the same surname and whether the marriage of both men and women is appropriate.
As for Najib, it is to ask a shaman to divination, and after it is an auspicious omen, the marriage between the two parties can be concluded, and the man will give the bride price to the woman, and then the invitation period is to agree on the date of marriage, and finally the kiss is to lead the crowd to welcome the relatives to the lobby to worship.
The six rites are simply the etiquette before marriage, and the marriage steps of later generations are actually from the six rites, but they are just procedurally simplified, but in the Qin and Han dynasties, each step must not be omitted, otherwise it will be regarded as the man's disrespect for marriage, and it will also cause a great blow to the woman.
This also led to the fact that in the past two days, Guan Ping was so busy and happy that he almost didn't even have a chance to breathe.
Two days passed gradually.
On this day, more than 500 Han knights under Guan Ping's command wore big red flowers on their chests, and the war horses and war horses were also hung high, and Guan Ping, who was located in front, wore a phoenix crown and wore red robes and wedding dresses and shoes, and then led a team of 500 knights to greet relatives along the street.
At this moment, on the way to the road, the Qiang people also stood on both sides of the road to welcome, and the whole scene was extremely grand and solemn.
Guan Ping rode the wind horse slowly.
in the boudoir.
At this time, the entire boudoir was lit up with red lanterns, showing a joyful color, and Yang Zhen was also wearing a xia veil at the moment, a red and festive phoenix robe and skirt, and then was facing the bronze mirror to make up for it.
When the guards around him made up for him, a maid who was guarding outside the room hurriedly rushed in and hurriedly said, "Princess Princess, General Ma's welcoming team has arrived outside the room." ”
"Huh......?"
"So fast?"
Hearing this, Yang Zhen's white face at the moment was inexplicably a little flustered, and he hurriedly said: "Xiaohe, look at my makeup, am I beautiful today?" ”
Although Yang Zhen practices martial arts and guns on weekdays, on today's wedding day, she still shows her little daughter posture in a panic like other women, and she is also extremely shy.
As she spoke, she also wore a veil under Xiaohe's service and walked out.
……
The welcoming procession picked up the newlyweds and continued their journey, all the way to the king's tent.
At this moment, the king's tent was full of joy, and the tent was also full of guests, and it was extremely lively.
Yang Ju and Yang Wan are located on top as newcomers and elders, and on both sides are the guests who have come from afar, and because the messengers from some remote areas have not been able to arrive within two days, they are just fast horses and send sergeants to congratulate.
After a while, the welcoming team arrived outside the king's tent, Guan Ping jumped off the horse race, and then went to the wedding outside to welcome Yang Zhen out of the car according to etiquette, and worked hand in hand with him.
At this time, the Qiang people who saw them off all the way were also blocked out of the king's tent by the guards, so they had to watch the newlyweds be sent away to hold a wedding.
For a while, Guan Suo, Liu Jia and others will huddle on both sides and follow happily.
It wasn't until dusk that the wedding began.
In ancient times, weddings were generally held after dusk, so they were also called "dusk rites".
A cumbersome wedding ceremony, waiting for the kiss to welcome, the worship ceremony, the banquet ceremony, the wo ceremony, the prison ceremony, the closing ceremony, the untying of the hair, and the hand-holding ceremony, it is already the time when the moon is dark and the wind is high.
But at this moment, the main camp of Baimaqiang is still brightly lit and full of laughter.
After the wedding ceremony, the bride naturally went into the cave room and waited with the support of the maid.
As for Guan Ping, he accepted a drink from the generals at this moment, and then walked to the new house with a groggy head.
……
Entering the cave room, Guan Ping slowly walked to the side of the bed with a slightly drowsy gaze, and then slowly removed the veil on Yang Zhen's head, and suddenly, her true face was revealed.
For a while, the wine was in his heart, Guan Ping unconsciously surged in his throat, and praised with a smile: "Madam, you are so beautiful!" ”
"Husband."
At this time, Yang Zhen's face was blushing, and his heart was "thumping", so he had to call softly.
Then, Yang Zhen got up and poured a cup of decanting soup that had already been prepared and handed it to Guan Ping, and said softly: "Husband, after drinking this cup of decanting soup, I'll wait to go to bed!" ”
Hearing this, Guan Ping hurriedly took it with both hands and drank it all.
Then the lights gradually dimmed......
