Chapter 518: The Crisis of Dunhuafang
The prince's wedding was cumbersome and troublesome.
In ancient times, marrying relatives was generally divided into six kinds of etiquette: "Nacai, asking for names, accepting signs, inviting (announcing periods), and greeting" After the completion of the kiss, the wedding was completed with the prison, and the next day the tea was offered to the in-laws, and she was a wife. These rituals are so cumbersome to hear, and the marriage of the crown prince is more formal.
Before greeting relatives, before asking for the invitation and the notice period, the woman first wears a crown dress, worships in the ancestral hall, and salutes to the ancestors under the guidance of the father, and pays tribute, after the salute, the woman drinks the wine in the cup, eats the food on the plate, and then bows down to the father, and the father instructs the daughter to "go to the inner house, be cautious all night, and do not disobey the king's orders"
The next day, there is a kiss ceremony, that is, the groom will go to the bride's house to greet his relatives, which shows respect for women, and it can also be seen that the married daughter spilled water, which can also be regarded as a manifestation of a patriarchal society.
This etiquette has continued from the pre-Qin period to the present, if the wedding is not held, it is not a complete wedding, the wedding does not meet the provisions of the etiquette system, and the wedding ceremony means that the bride is born to be a husband and a ghost to die.
After the wedding ceremony is completed, the crown prince and the princess outside the Taiji Palace get off the sedan chair and walk, but outside the palace, the sedan chair is lowered into the palace, the crown prince opens the curtain, the palace people cover it with a curtain, and the princess gets off the sedan chair.
After getting off the sedan chair, it was changed to a joint ceremony, the princess worshiped first, and the prince worshipped, because it was a wife, so the prince should worship the same ceremony as the princess.
As for Hou Ruixin being a side wife, she has to be weaker.
Followed by the same prison, the prison is generally meat, pigs, cattle and sheep three kinds of meat are called Tai Prison, two kinds of meat are called Shao Prison, the same prison means that the husband and wife eat a share of beef and mutton, which means that the husband and wife will become a family from now on.
The combination is equivalent to the later cup of wine, but this kind of wine is not equivalent to the husband and wife holding hands and drinking the wine in the cup, but the gourd is divided into two and made into two identical water scoops, representing the husband and wife, the scoop contains wine at the same time, and then the palace people also exchanged the scoops, and finally merged the two into one, symbolizing that the husband and wife can share weal and woe in the future and tie the knot forever.
Cutting hair and knotting, this is also the origin of the hair wife, the ancient man was twenty years old to perform the crown ceremony, the woman was fifteen years old and the flute, which means that the adult has been an adult, both men and women must comb their hair into a bun, and men must wear hats. When a man and a woman get married, they each need to cut off a strand of hair and tie the two strands together, which is called a knot.
This complicated ritual system has just ended, but it is the prince's side that has ended, and there is still a court meeting later, and there will be troubles from the ministers that make Li Chengqian almost crazy.
However, just when Li Chengqian was about to go crazy, Li Zhan was not idle here.
Today, Li Zhan pulled out the Tiger Army, and Li Chengqian's honor guards along the way were all Tiger Army, and the soldiers of the East Palace Six Rates were useless, and there were many complaints about the East Palace Six Rates.
Li Zhan still has five regiments on his side.
The guard of honor was Wei Chi Baoqing's Fourth Regiment, and their responsibility was very heavy, that is, to deal with emergencies and make every effort to protect Li Chengqian.
The other five regiments were all dispersed to various points outside the Taiji Palace and the path that Li Chengqian had to pass.
It's just that what Li Zhan didn't expect was that he had calculated a lot and prepared a lot, but after calculating, Li Zhan didn't calculate, and the Lotus Society changed its raid on the crown prince Li Chengqian.
The bastard of the eldest grandson Minsheng actually made a move against Dunhuafang, as we all know, Dunhuafang is the place where the prince and Li Zhan are, so the eldest grandson Minsheng put the torture and killing plan of the Lotus Society here.
Three hundred dead soldiers will rush into Dunhuafang at noon and slaughter people to create a horrific torture plan, which is the revenge of the eldest grandson Minsheng for the attack on his own cottage by the Tiger Ben army.
It was also the eldest grandson Minminsheng's declaration of war against Li Shimin and the Tang Dynasty.
Twenty-eight Dunhua Fang, now most of the workshop is busy for the New Year, the Tang Dynasty flavor is actually very heavy, there are many things to do, such as the day of the New Year, you must drink a special drink, one is called "Tusu wine", the other is called "pepper and cypress wine".
"Tusu" is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which is made by mixing seven kinds of medicinal herbs, including rhubarb, atractylodes, bellflower, Shu pepper, cinnamon, aconitum and sarsaparilla. It is said that drinking these two kinds of wine can drive away evil spirits, detoxify and prolong life.
The people of the Tang Dynasty had a very interesting habit of drinking these two kinds of wine, that is, they had to start with the youngest child in the family. The reason is said to be that "the younger one gets the old age, and the old one loses the old age, so he drinks later".
When drinking, there is a "five-spice plate" on the table: the plate is green and spicy, and there are five kinds of vegetables, namely garlic, small garlic, leeks, brassica, and coriander. Eating "Wuxin Pan" is to diffuse the depression of the five internal organs and prevent the epidemic from making trouble.
There is also the fact that the people of the Tang Dynasty also love to eat sweets during the New Year: the more famous one is "glue tooth cake". "Ao" is roughly what is called "maltose" today, the ancients used barley, wheat or glutinous rice to make desserts, more viscous and soft, the sweetness is not as good as honey, and not as good as the commonly used sucrose.
Dumplings also appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Wrap the dough into a half-moon shape and wrap it in various fillings, boil the water in the large pot and take it out, and serve it with vinegar and garlic; The difference is that the dumplings in the Tang Dynasty are not called "dumplings", but called "soup prison pills" and "prison pills", and when you eat them, you will bring soup, and the soup will be sprinkled with coriander, etc.
There were too many things to prepare, so Li Zhan had already stopped the workshop on the 27th, and Li Zhan gave his workers a total of ten days of paid vacation.
Now everyone is happy and busy.
Li Zhan's family is too, under the leadership of Yue Niang, Li Jing'an and Yang Qiao'er wrapped dumplings there together, because there are many Li families, so they have to wrap more, and the dumpling filling is mutton.
Ouyang Duoduo and Li Wei are making gum teeth, these are all made by themselves, not to buy a little during the New Year, but after the New Year, some things are better made at home.
Li Dafu took his two brothers-in-law and began to make Tusu wine and Jiaobai wine, anyway, each has its own thing to do.
It may be because of this that Li Zhan ignored a little, just when Dunhua Fang was peaceful, three hundred people had already gathered in Qinglongfang at this time, and this Qinglongfang and Dunhuafang were separated by a wall.
Three hundred people hid in a house in the Qinglong Fang, and no one could know.
These three hundred people are all fanatics of Changsun Minsheng, to be honest, this trick of Changsun Minsheng, a fool can find out that it is fake, but I don't know what the reason is, that is, some people blindly believe it, and they don't even care about life and death.
The one who took the lead among these 300 people is the righteous son of the eldest grandson Minsheng, who is in his thirties, and actually worships an eldest grandson Minsheng who is less than twenty years old as his father, and he still blindly believes in this father.
It's hard to figure out.
At this time, the eldest son of the eldest grandson Minsheng shouted to the three hundred people in front of him: "At noon, it is the time for us to dedicate ourselves to the Lord, as long as we go to Dunhuafang to kill more people, the greater the dedication to the Lord, so that we can enter the vacuum of the Lord."
There, there will be no discrimination, no famine, no disease, and we will live happily ever after. ”
No one could believe these words, but as soon as the godson of the eldest grandson Minsheng finished speaking, these three hundred people let out a fanatical roar, just like a group of crazy people!
