The spring night is worth a thousand gold, and the flowers are fragrant and the moon is cloudy.

The sound of the song pipe building is thin, and the swing courtyard is heavy at night.

In the tradition of the Chinese people, the flower candle in the cave house is the most important thing in life, which is more important than the title of the gold list, because the title of the gold list is only that little person for three years, which is more important than meeting the old people in other places, because not everyone will leave their hometown, and it is also more important than a long drought and a rainy day, because no matter how dry it is, God will always rain.

Only the candle night in the cave room is only once in a person's life.

Note, only once.

No matter how feudal the society was in ancient times, there was a strict law that has always been followed, that is, monogamy, and lifelong observance.

Ancient and modern times are the same, and they are all monogamous, as for the so-called equal wives and concubines, strictly speaking, they are all concubines. Therefore, the ancient marriage system should be called as follows, called monogamy and polygonal concubinage.

A flat wife, not a real wife.

There is only one real wife, and that is the wife who sits in the back house of the family.

Therefore, because of this, the inheritance is strong, no matter how eloquent a man is, he will only have one real cave candle in his life.

Because, there is only one wife.

Even if it is an emperor of the Tang Dynasty like Li Shimin, known as the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards, even if there are three thousand beauties, there is only one queen, as for the so-called four main concubines, there are also a variety of attendants, listening to the name is very high, in fact, they are not wives in the legal sense, because these concubines are really only waiters......

Eligible for burial, eligible for burial.

But they are not eligible to be buried together......

The woman who can really accompany the head of the family to lie in the same coffin is the only wife who has flowers and candles in the man's cave room from beginning to end.

This is an ancient law, and it is even written into the law, such as the Tang law: "Whoever has a wife and marries another wife shall be imprisoned for one year; Female family minus one class. and if he marries by deceit, he shall be imprisoned for one year and a half. If the women's family does not sit, they will leave it" ("Tang Law, Household Marriage Law"). "Tang Law Shuyi" explains: "If you have a wife, you will marry, but you will not become a wife"

What does it mean?

There is only one meaning for a wife.

The other women who marry into the family are all concubines in the legal sense, even if they are the four main concubines in Li Shimin's harem, they are only concubines according to the law.

……

But only Li Yun's wedding made a real candle in the cave room tonight, Li Shimin and Queen Eldest Sun carried all the pressure and set the rule that no matter which room they choose, it will be regarded as a candle in the cave room.

Because of this, he pays attention to it, even if Li Yun chooses the seventh flat wife cave room, he must follow the rules of the cave before the cave room.

There are two major rituals that need to be performed, and it seems very verbose.

But no woman in the world would dislike being verbose, because these two etiquettes are qualifications that only a proper wife can enjoy.

The first item, Xitong leads the way, urges the door to open, and enters with a happy plate in his hand, implying purity and innocence.

The second item, the bride and groom, together and hand-in-hand, will live hand in hand for a lifetime, and life and death are love.

As long as these two etiquettes have been done, even if the seventh flat wife is just a flat wife, she is already a real wife in the legal sense, and she is the one who can lie in the coffin with Li Yun.

……

Knock knock!

"Open the door!"

The little son's voice was very delicate, with a hint of curiosity and cuteness, and the maid standing next to her was knocking on the door, helping the sister-in-law to work together.

The two little ones blinked their eyes and stared at the door in front of them.

The yard has been opened, and now they need to help the eldest brother knock on the door, the little son is a very kind and good child, while knocking on the door, he felt very sorry, and said in a tender voice: "Seventh sister-in-law, I'm sorry, the night is very late, you must be very sleepy, the son feels very sleepy, the seventh sister-in-law must be very sleepy, but we must knock on your door, because the eldest brother of the son must stay here tonight, if you don't open the door, the eldest brother will be very pitiful, he has no place to sleep, he will be sleepy and uncomfortable......"

Tong Yan was childish, but he seemed kind-hearted, and the officials present glanced at each other, and they all secretly praised in their hearts: "Princess Jinyang, you are worthy of love." ”

At this time, I only heard the squeak of the door, a touch of light leaked along the door, someone was crisp like a morning bird, the sound was like a green mist in the forest, and he said leisurely: "Come in, thank you." ”

The two little guys glanced at each other, and the little son suddenly winked at Yaya mysteriously, as if sharing a big secret, and lowered his voice: "Sister Yaya, our seventh sister-in-law is also a fairy." ”

Yaya instantly gasped for nervousness, Yuanyuan's eyes widened, and she said very crampedly: "Will Yaya make her feel ashamed, Yaya is just a poor man's child." ”

Suddenly, a pair of jade hands stretched out from inside the door, holding the two little ones in their arms, and the sound of a crisp voice like a morning bird sounded again, with a hint of pampering and affection: "What's wrong with the poor?" Sister-in-law is guarding the poor! You two little girls, come in and warm your hands. ”

It was a beautiful shadow, standing quietly in front of the door.

When!

Suddenly, there was the sound of things falling to the ground in the small courtyard.

At the gate of the courtyard not far away, Empress Eldest Sun gasped, the holy high priestess next to her looked shocked, and the two female elders looked incredulous.

The eldest grandson queen is a generation of queens, and the holy high priestess is the bell of the grassland, which can shock the two peerless female elders, not to mention those ritual officials who come to perform the ceremony.

But when they saw the whole small courtyard, everyone stood in place dumbfounded.

There was a bright moon in the sky, sprinkling bright and clear light, but everyone's eyes were attracted by the door of the room, and they only felt that there was a person standing at the door of the room who was better than the bright moon.

It was an indescribable beauty.

The face is beyond words.

It seems that there is a curling fairy spirit, lingering around her all the time, obviously it is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, but everyone looks at her like a fairy in mythology.

When welcoming relatives this evening, the hidden door once made a scene of a fairy riding a crane for Qi Yanran, at that time, the fairy aura was full of surprise, which made people amazed, but the fairy aura of the hidden door always had an earthly feeling, and the seventh flat wife in front of him seemed to be a real fairy person.

There is no fairy aura around her at all, the fairy aura that everyone sees is a fantasy in her mind, and there is no moonlight around her to cover her body, because her beauty and beauty are better than the bright moon in the sky.

She was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and she was just standing alone at the door holding two little ones at the moment, but when everyone looked at it for the first time, the first thought that came to their minds was immortals.

Empress Changsun suddenly spoke, muttering in a tone as if she was reminiscing, as if she had exhausted all her strength before she could say the shock in her heart, and said: "Obtain the qi of heaven and earth, collect the essence of the sun and the moon, like a piece of white paper, a pearl in Yaochi, three thousand years of ice and snow and frost, cast a pure immortal body...... When the ancestor of the stinky boy annotated, the palace thought it was a kind of praise, and then when I saw the real person's appearance, I knew that everything was not an exaggeration, this girl, this girl ......"

"This girl shouldn't be a person of the world!" The Holy High Priestess next to her spoke slowly, her face with the same shock and disbelief.

The two female elders were stunned for a long time, and suddenly looked at each other and smiled bitterly at each other, and the eldest grandson queen said: "That little girl of the martial family, even if her appearance grows, she doesn't need to worry." ”

The Holy High Priestess sighed lightly and said with some sadness: "That girl Linglong has been proud all her life, and this time I am afraid that she will never be proud again." ”

This seventh flat wife with a mysterious origin, her appearance no longer belongs to the world, even if Linglong and the martial family's Xiao Meiniang are combined, if you compare her appearance alone, she can't compete with half of her.

Even the little brother's firm temperament has grown up at this time and his little mouth is in a daze, the little guy looked up at his seventh sister-in-law, and it took a long time before he was very worried to speak, and said with great worry: "What to do, what to do, why are you so beautiful, why are you so beautiful, you let the son not know how to lie." I think Sister-in-law A-Yao is the best-looking, but you're almost going to look as good-looking as A-Yao's sister-in-law......"

It's almost as good-looking as Sister-in-law A-Yao!

This is probably the biggest compliment that the little Princess Jinyang has for a woman.

……

I don't know how long the time passed, it seemed to be a long time and it seemed to be just a moment, and finally the official woke up from the shock, and hurriedly wiped the cold sweat and spoke loudly, his eyes seemed to be afraid, and he didn't look at the door at all when he spoke, but just shouted softly: "The auspicious time is finally coming, the cave house is ahead, how dare the groom stop?" Don't hurry to the door. ”

Empress Eldest Sun and the Holy High Priestess looked at Li Yun at the same time.

At this time, Li Yun must have been shocked in his heart, but he tried his best to suppress the shock without revealing it, and after hearing the ceremonial officer's light call, he first took a deep breath, however, he stepped to the door.

The little blind at the door had clear eyes, quietly watching her husband come over, with a pair of pupils like clear water, without a trace of variegated color in the world.

The silent gaze gave an indescribable pressure, as if this house was the purest place in the world, and that no man with distracting thoughts would have the courage to enter it.

Li Yun is now this delusion, and the closer he gets to the door, the heavier his steps become.

"Whew!"

When Li Yun finally stepped into the door, the people in the courtyard all exhaled softly.

When everyone looked at the door again, they saw that the seventh wife was still standing there, but the position changed slightly, obviously to make way for Li Yun to enter the door.

Her eyes were still so clear, and she seemed to be looking at the Lord of the Bohai Sea with curiosity.

The ceremonial officials in the courtyard felt extremely stressed.

Since ancient times, I have never heard of such a strange scene on the night of the cave house.

The bride's beauty is not like the world, just a pair of eyes can make people feel a lot of pressure, how to hold the next ceremony? None of the officers present felt that they could not muster up the courage to walk into the door in front of them.

Fortunately, he was still followed by the eldest grandson queen and the holy high priestess.

Fortunately, the Xitong who chose was the little son and the maid.

Bang Bang!

Suddenly there was a banging sound in the night sky.

This means that the hour has come.

Empress Eldest Sun and the Holy High Priestess glanced at each other, and suddenly walked together to the wedding room, the two female elders obviously also had an indescribable pressure, and there was clearly an illusion that they did not dare to look directly at the little blind, and when the two entered the door, they faintly felt sweat on their foreheads.

"This girl, beauty is too stressful...... the two female elders subconsciously glanced at each other, and they both saw the strangeness and shock in each other's eyes.

They are women, and they can't even bear the dust of the little blind.

……

"This, this, it's not too early......"

After entering the door for a long time, finally the eldest grandson queen still resisted the suppression, the queen stubbornly looked directly into the little blind eyes, and tried to say in a loving tone of an elder: "It's time to salute, time can't be delayed for a long time, little... Little Seventh Girl, do you have a name? ”

The little blind blinked, looked at the eldest grandson queen curiously, and said, "Do you need a name?" ”

Empress Eldest Sun was stunned and subconsciously looked at Li Yun.

Li Yun was also stunned, but then reacted, he pretended to be surprised and looked at the eldest grandson queen, pretending to be very exaggerated: "Second aunt, you are amazing, I didn't tell you Xiao Qi's name, but you already know that her name is Xiao Qi......"

The eldest grandson queen was stunned.

How could the shrewdness of the queen not hear that this was a lie made up on the fly?

This seventh wife who suddenly appeared, could it be that she didn't even have a name......

"My name is Cao'er!"

Suddenly, the little blind opened his mouth softly, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, and said slowly: "I have been called Cao'er since I was a child, and Li Yun should know this name." One of my companions told him my name before he left. ”

Li Yun was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that this was indeed the case, when the old lame husband told the secret, and vaguely said that the grass was not an adult, but it was a pity that Li Yun was shocked at the time, and he didn't pay attention to those two words at all.

"Okay, it's good to have a name!"

Empress Eldest Sun was relieved, and a loving smile appeared on her face.

I didn't know that the little blind suddenly spoke again, and said: "It's okay to call Xiao Qi, I like the name Xiao Qi very much." I came from the mountains, I was originally a grass, the name of the grass in the mountains, I should have an earthly name......"

As he spoke, he looked at the eldest grandson, her eyes were as clear as blue water, and she said respectfully: "You are the elder of the family, and you should receive your name." ”

Empress Eldest Sun was stunned again, and subconsciously said, "How can it be done?" The name Xiao Qi is too simple. The palace should go and ask His Majesty and the Emperor Taishang to ponder it in many ways, and give you a nice name. ”

"No way!"

The little blind shook his head, and explained with a smile: "People like me have a very special rule, whenever someone says something unintentionally, it is to correct the words of people like me, and if you can't change it, you have to call Xiao Qi." ”

Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Yun in a daze.

Li Yun's heart moved, his eyes were full of surprise and looked at the little blind blind, and after a long time passed, Li Yun asked with difficulty: "Feng Zheng?" ”

The little blind smiled sweetly, as if he refused to hide anything from Li Yun, and said gently: "You should understand!" ”

Li Yun took a deep breath.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the eldest grandson queen, and said very solemnly: "Aunt Queen, she will be called Xiao Qi in the future." ”

This time, I didn't call the second lady, and the title was very solemn.

Empress Eldest Sun looked at the two juniors thoughtfully, and finally nodded and said, "The name Xiao Qi is actually very good, with a fairy spirit, and it is very extraordinary. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly reached into his arms, and took out two red wedding silks dyed with silk and satin from them, and the holy high priestess next to him reached into his arms at the same time, but took out a wolf pen engraved with the word "Xi".

The two ceremonial officials at the door hurriedly stepped forward, each holding a big red wedding plate, one of which had an inkstone in it, and the other was used to support writing.

Empress Changsun and the Holy Maiden glanced at each other, and the Empress put the two red wedding silks on the tray, and then the Holy High Priestess was full of thick ink and gently wrote her name on the two wedding silks.

One said: Li's, Yun cub.

One said: In the mountains, the grass is small.

After the two wedding silks were written, it was the turn of the two little ones to work, and the ceremonial officer outside the door hurriedly spoke softly, pointing out what the little son and the maid should do.

So, the little boy picked up the delicate little scissors that had been in his hand, the little girl picked up the little red rope in the tray, and the two little guys walked to Li Yun and the little blind side respectively, and their little faces put on extremely solemn and solemn things.

The little son raised the scissors, spoke to Li Yunnen and said, "Big brother, my sister wants to cut your hair." ”

Li Yun leaned down to facilitate the little son's move.

But hearing a click, a strand of man's hair was cut off, and the holy high priestess's hand was quick, and she instantly took Li Yun's hair in her hand.

Empress Eldest Sun picked up two copies of the wedding silk with her name written on it, and gently trapped them together with Li Yun's hair.

Then, the little son will take it and send it to the other side.

On the other side, Yaya was holding a red rope and waiting.

Waiting for the little boy to send Li Yun's hair tied with the wedding silk, Yaya took the wedding silk and the red rope and held it in her hand, then she looked up at the little blind and said weakly: "Seventh sister-in-law, Yaya wants to tie this to your head." ”

This action is the most important one of the Han family weddings.

On the night of the candles in the cave room, the hair is tied to the white head, and the man's hair needs to be cut off, tied with a wedding silk with the names of both men and women, and then tied to the bride's head full of green silk with a red rope that means joy.

This is the knot.

Many people in later generations have heard of this name, but few people know what it is.
