Saying "interesting" is not a matter of qualifications. Alcohol King Fujin is the king of Doro County, of course, he has enough qualifications to serve as a "welcoming wife". In addition, she is the sister-in-law of the Bai family and Guan Zhuofan's "sister-in-law", compared with others, she has an extra layer of relationship with Guan Zhuofan, and it is very suitable for her to come forward to greet her on behalf of the forehead.

"Interesting" is: Alcohol King Fujin is a "welcome woman", but her husband is a "minister to send relatives", the husband and wife are in the same team, one to send and one to welcome, and to do errands together, which is really interesting. Everyone said that the arrangement of "above" was ingenious, and it was really a good story.

There is also an "interesting" thing that has been spread out, and it has been talked about for a long time: the four wives of "sending relatives" and "Fengying", two princes Fujin, a county king Fujin, and a Zhenguo lady, are all riding horses!

This is an old Manchurian custom. The Manchurians rose between the white mountains and black waters, and were good at riding and shooting, men, women, and children, all of whom would ride horses, greet and send relatives, and all controlled the exchange of bridles, even the bride was no exception. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the old customs were not abolished, the atmosphere was still there, the prince's relatives, Mrs. Fujin, the suburbs of the city, galloping horses, commonplace. Between relatives and nobles, the bride is in accordance with the Han customs, changed to sit in a sedan chair, greets and sends relatives, but regardless of men and women, they have to ride horses. This rule was set in the Kangxi period, and it was "forever precedent".

However, two hundred years have passed, and this rule has long existed in name only. The ladies under its banner, in and out of small daily life, are all in a sedan chair and a car, except for a pair of Tianzu, others, and the Han people's ladies, there is almost no difference. Not to mention riding a horse, there are many people who have never touched a single horse hair.

The two "women who send their relatives to life" and the two "women who welcome their lives" - Zhuang Wang Fujin, Rui Wang Fujin, Alcohol King Fujin, and Bai's family. Four noble ladies. None of them could ride horses.

Several of the women panicked. Zhuang Wang Fujin, Rui Wang Fujin, and Alcohol Wang Fujin all quietly told their husbands, can you talk to the "top" and change the horse riding to a sedan chair? Or by car? Alas, this rule has long been an ornament, why is it suddenly so serious?

How many princes, which one is willing to open this mouth? This is not only "disorderly". It also lost face. King Zhuang has always been tranquil, and he refuses to be this rafter; The alcohol king is young and tender, and he refuses to fall on this face; King Rui shouted loudly: "This is the opportunity of the 'above' to take advantage of the princess's 'surrender' to restore the Manchurians' true nature of riding and archery, and increase the spirit of our Manchurians!" The royal leads by example, good, good, good! ”

Since it's good, it has to be learned and sold.

Four noble ladies. A large number of maids and old mothers followed, and gathered in the Purple Light Pavilion in the middle of the West Garden of the Imperial City. The terrain here is open, there are galloping roads, and you can walk horses. The Ministry of Internal Affairs selected more than a dozen horses from the upper courtyard under its jurisdiction, and selected more than a dozen horses that were both divine horses and tame Qiji, and were in charge of Bei Zi Yixu, the most elite rider in the clan, to teach the three blessings and the first lady to ride horses.

It was not a difficult thing to ride roughly, and anyway, it was only necessary for the four women to put on a show, not to ask them to gallop on horseback. After learning it in such a month, the four women are considered "Chinese". On the day of Princess Rong'an's "surrender", the four wives rode on horses, and the groom, who took care of the horse on weekdays, changed into the clothes of the Luan Ritual School, held the reins of the horse, and walked slowly. The woman on the horse is just holding the saddle in her hand and sending it slightly.

All the way down, there was no mistake, and smoothly arrived at the north street of Chaonei, this messenger of "riding a horse to welcome relatives" finally did it well, and the hearts of the four noblewomen were put back in their stomachs.

The princess's Caiyu entered the north side street of the inner court, and after that, no ordinary people could see it. However, the "surrender" is not a state secret, and after the incident, more than one person who witnessed it became a volunteer preacher, some of them were 1510, and some of them inevitably added oil and vinegar, and to sum up, the situation is roughly as follows:

The middle door of the "Prince's Mansion of the Emperor of Xuan" is wide open, and when you look at it from the door, the whole palace is covered in red and hung with colors, and it is full of joy. In front of the gate, there is a charcoal brazier of copper that burns very hotly. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the marriage customs of the Manchurians really wanted to "cross the brazier", and the times changed, and now the princess who naturally does not want to make up a lot of makeup really went to cross the brazier, and put the pot in front of the gate, but it was just a "prosperous, prosperous" meaning.

The main crossing of the public is the "peace and security" of the second gate.

Caiyu carried into the gate and stopped in front of the second gate. As soon as the princess got off the sedan chair, the first thing she did was to hand the two apples in her hand to King Zhuang Fujin, who was the first of the four women. Zhuang Wang Fujin took it and handed it to the female official beside him, who immediately hid it under a vermilion lacquer saddle in front of the second gate.

The saddle was placed horizontally, covered with red satin, and the woman and the female official were instructed to guide the princess across the saddle with apples hidden underneath, and the ceremony of "peace and security" was completed.

Entering the second door, the alcohol king Fujin handed over a gold lacquered wooden bottle to the princess, which is called the "treasure bottle", the red silk seal, which contains small gold ingots, small silver ingots, various colored gems and grains, take a "grain harvest, prosperity" meaning. The princess held this "treasure bottle" and walked all the way to the main hall of the prince's palace, commonly known as the "Silver Palace".

The forehead was already waiting in the Yin'an Palace, but the auspicious time was not enough, and the two did not meet each other.

When the auspicious time comes, the drum music is played, and the princess and the forehead enter the main hall at the same time, with men on the left and women on the right, standing opposite each other. The drum music is dense, and in the singing and praise of the ceremonial officials, the princess and the forehead bow down at the same time, and the nine bows are completed, which makes the husband and wife who "tie the hair".

Worship heaven and earth, and worship the birthday star; I have worshiped the birthday star, and I have to worship the stove king.

The royal family and aristocracy of the Qing Dynasty maintained the custom of "sacrifice must be in the inner bed". The princes and uncles all set up sacrifices in the weeping flower gate, killing pigs and sacrificing to the stove king. Of course, it is still the same sentence, "time changes", and now not all noble families have pulled live pigs into the "inner bed" to kill them - it inevitably frightened Mrs. Gege of Fujin. Most people's homes, sacrificing to the stove king, pulled into the "inner bed", is a pig that has been killed, washed and skinned - just a meaning.

However, the sacrifice of the stove monarch in the palace is still an out-and-out "sacrifice must be in the inner bed". Kunning Palace, one of the last three palaces, is doing this job. The main hall of Kunning Palace is equipped with two huge iron pots, one can cook a whole pig. Three hundred and sixty days a year, every day from outside the palace, two live pigs are transported in, in the Kunning Palace, killed, haired, washed, put into a large iron pot to cook, only spices are added without salt, cooked and used to sacrifice to the gods.

The so-called "gizzard meat" that the guards ate was this kind of meat.

Pulled a little farther away, and returned to Prince Xuan's mansion.

After worshipping heaven and earth, the princess and the forehead have become "knotted hair", the princess is the serious housewife of the family, and the housewife is in the middle feed, so the sacrifice to the stove monarch, the forehead is not involved, just wait in the marriage room.

The princess has sacrificed to the stove king, and she can't enter the marriage room immediately to "merge", and before that, there is still a procedure to "open your face" to do.
