Chapter 526: Countdown to Marriage
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Ouyang Duoduo's home, Ouyang Ye hid in the room and didn't know what he was doing, Ouyang Duoduo was a character who wanted to know everything, of course he wanted to know what his father was doing.
However, just when Ouyang Duoduo wanted to find out, her younger brother came over and blocked Ouyang Duoduo and said, "Sister, when will I go to be a soldier." ”
"Huh!" Ouyang Duoduo was also distracted by his younger brother: "Soon the New Year will be almost over." ”
"It's over the New Year now, how long is it going to be a good sister, I really want to be a soldier." Ouyang Duoduo's younger brother looked at Ouyang Duoduo and was coquettish.
Seriously, at first, Ouyang Duoduo still didn't like his stepmother and stepbrother, but after getting along for a long time, these two people are really good, and Ouyang Duoduo also likes the house and Wu.
was interrupted by his younger brother, Ouyang Duoduo could only coax his younger brother.
At this time, I heard Ouyang Ye gasp in the room and say, "Fortunately, this girl didn't come in!" ”
Then a nice female voice sounded: "Yes, but, is it really enough for us to prepare these, you must know that the other three are richer than us." ”
"That's all there is to it, because that's all I have, Lotus Lady, thank you for this!" Ouyang Ye looked at the lotus girl beside him very affectionately.
"Thank you for your willingness to treat Duoduo as your daughter, and thank you for your willingness to give everything to Duoduo." Ouyang Ye was grateful.
But the lotus girl smiled: "This should have been Duoduo, don't worry, I will not let Duoduo lose face." ”
In the Tang Dynasty, it was different from now, now it is basically the man who gives the bride price, in fact, in the Tang Dynasty, the man gave the bride price, because the woman is going to live in the man's house, and your man gives the bride price, which is not equivalent to saying that the woman is selling her daughter.
This is a cheap name that the backbone Tang Dynasty people are unwilling to bear.
On the contrary, many women's parents have to consider their daughters, although it is said that "the girl who marries out, spills the water", but that is their own daughter, the blood relationship is inseparable, and they want their daughters to be able to live in other people's homes with status, dignity, and a high dowry is a good reflection. This is enough to make the man see the strength of his family, and the daughter can also act without looking at people's eyes. In addition, it can also make certain subsidies for her daughter's life.
You don't think about what the woman's dowry is, just take the dowry furniture and divide it into inner and outer room supplies. For example, thousands of beds, tables in front of the room, red cabinets, bedside cabinets, hangers, spring stools, toilets, buckets of children and grandchildren, dressers, etc., are placed in the inner room, all belong to the inner room; Painting tables, piano tables, eight immortal tables, circle chairs, etc. are outroom guys.
Functionally, it can be divided into three parts: daily necessities, daily small woodware, and women's supplies.
This is just furniture, there are many more, this is the Tang Dynasty people marrying daughters, these dowries are to let their daughters not be angry in the man's house, this is the love of the Tang people for their daughters, and it is also the backbone of the Tang people.
Not only Ouyang Ye did this, Li Cheng had also prepared a large number of dowries for his daughter Li Jing'an, it can be said that the dowry that Li Cheng prepared this time was to take out half of his family property, why was it just to not let his daughter look down on him.
Because Li Jing'an everyone also knows that he was married once, although he was a widow, but it was still not good to say, so Li Cheng wanted to fight for his daughter's face, and he prepared a million yuan in cash alone, so it can be said that Li Cheng loves his daughter very much.
Feng Ming on the other side, that is the dowry prepared by Empress Changsun herself, they are all items in the palace, needless to say, and these things will basically enter her son's home.
Therefore, the dowry prepared by the eldest grandson queen will not be too low.
If you want to say that it is almost Yang Qiaoer, it should be Yang Qiaoer, after all, Yang Qiaoer has no elders, and there are not many, there is a younger brother and a group of loyal servants, not even an elder, this time Yang Qiaoer's dowry is prepared by Yue Niang.
Yue Niang also took out her pocket and took out three thousand yuan, here I want to say that three thousand yuan is already a lot for Yue Niang, and that is all the money that Yue Niang can take out.
This also shows that Yue Niang likes Yang Qiaoer.
It's just that these three thousand kan and the other three are really too few.
But Yang Qiaoer didn't expect that on the day of the wedding, someone was willing to add makeup to her, what is makeup, it is the dowry added by the bride's relatives to the bride, so it is called makeup.
On the fifteenth day of the first month, when they got married, and on the tenth day of the first month, the four girls no longer lived together with Li Zhan.
Of course, the four girls don't live together, Li Jing'an lives in Taipingfang, Yang Qiaoer lives in Xinghuafang, Feng Ming lives in the mansion of the eldest grandson Wuji, and Ouyang Duoduo lives in Cheng Yanjin's mansion.
From the tenth day of the first month, Li Zhan in accordance with the Tang Dynasty marriage rules, Nacai: open cut is also called "Nacai" refers to the male family in the month before the marriage, the wedding date will be notified to the female family in advance, called "send the day". The man's family sends the colored cloth and clothes to the woman's house, which is called "dowry". And ask a blessed woman with both children to tailor the girl's clothes, which is called "open cutting".
"Wedding": "Dusk ceremony, send down Nacai, and use geese (later also replaced by geese)" (Of course, Li Zhan is a bit rushed, only five days in advance, but it is enough.) )
Asking for a name: That is, the man sends a matchmaker to the woman's house to ask for the woman's name and birthday. After retrieving the Geng sticker, Bu Ji is eight characters.
Najib: It is the etiquette for the man to inform the woman of the auspicious sign of the marriage after asking the name and combining the eight characters, and to give a gift to express the engagement. In ancient times, Najib also had to perform a memorial ceremony.
Na Zheng (Na Cheng Na Yuan): It is the well-known dowry gift.
Appointment: The parties discuss and set a wedding date.
Finally, there are two kinds of personal welcome, one is that the groom goes to the woman's house in person, but the other is that the man marries his bride at the door of the house.
Li Zhan was the last to choose, after all, there were too many four, so Li Zhan chose to greet the four wives at the door of Dunhuafang.
Of course, since this is the case, then there is another problem, that is, it is necessary to let the four wives arrive at the door of Dunhuafang at the same time, if you are one after the other, then who comes first and who comes last, it is a troublesome matter.
Therefore, Li Zhan's marriage trip is really cumbersome.
Time is like an hourglass and finally the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has arrived, today is Xiao Nian, but today's most lively is indeed not Xiao Nian, but Li Zhan's wedding, everyone has already gotten up early, standing on the road through the four flower bridges and began to look forward to it, all want to see Li Zhan's wedding today, whether there is the limelight of the prince's wedding.
