The defense of the Qing army in Zhangzhou, mainly Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong, cooperated with the Wanwu Zheng clan to surrender troops, a total of more than 30,000 people, Wang Yan decided to mobilize Zhongwu Town and Dubiao, as well as a loyal battalion, a total of 40,000 people, in the invitation to Zheng Chenggong, two sides of the attack.

These days, he is busy selecting soldiers and horses, deploying weapons and materials, and preparing for war, and the Wang clan in the Duke Mansion of Chu is not idle, busy with the marriage of Wang He.

Wang Yan is about to conquer Zhangzhou, and He Tengjiao is also going to rush back to Wuchang, according to Wang Yan's meaning, everything is as simple as possible, but He Tengjiao is unwilling to wronged his daughter, insisting on doing a big job, and the Son of Heaven will also have a will to come, so the ceremony will not be simple, and can only come step by step.

According to the ancient rites, from the proposal to the marriage, it is necessary to go through six etiquette procedures, that is, six rites, acceptance, and the male family sends gifts to the female family to ask for marriage; Ask for a name, the man asks the woman's name and birthday; Najib, after the man's family received good signs, went to the woman's house to report the good news and give gifts and get engaged; After the engagement, the man's family bowed down; Appointment, selection of the date of marriage; Welcome in person, take the bride to the man's house to get married. There are many details in each etiquette procedure, which is very cumbersome.

It's just that China has experienced many wars, especially the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the etiquette collapsed, the folk feel that the etiquette is too complicated, unwilling to accept, to the Ming Dynasty, although the six wedding ceremonies were stipulated, but in addition to the royal and big families, the folk basically only have the simplified three rites.

Wang Yan meant to come according to the standards of the people, but He Tengjiao disagreed, Wang Yan could only agree to follow his ideas, he originally thought that it would take a lot of time, but he didn't expect that in less than half a month, with the efforts of Wang and He, he had already completed the first five steps.

Although it seems to be in a hurry, in fact, several months have passed since He Tengjiao found the Wang family last year, and the two sides decided to marry, and the previous few ceremonies have already passed.

On the 10th day of February in the third year of Longwu, just after dawn, every household in the workshop where the Duke of Chu was located received a special gift, a basket tied with red silk, containing nine red eggs and 1,000 yuan.

At the same time, the sound of firecrackers began to explode continuously, and everyone in the market knew that the Duke of Chu of the Ming Dynasty was going to marry his wife today.

In addition to letting the neighbors give up, send etiquette, and celebrate together, it is also a reminder to today's national wedding, all families, don't do anything taboo, and try to be auspicious.

The mansion of the Duke of Chu is very lively, in addition to more than 20 people who are busy with the subordinates, the Wang clan people who moved south also came to help, and more than 100 personal soldiers are also helping to tidy up the courtyard, the entire mansion has been cleaned, and the courtyard of the lobby has been placed with happy wax and lanterns.

With the identity of Wang Yan and He Tengjiao, even if you want to keep a low profile, it is not good, although Wang Yan has repeatedly controlled, but the guests who are qualified to come in to celebrate, I am afraid that there will be more than three or four hundred people, and the entire Guogong Mansion, except for the back house, the entire outer house and the atrium are full of banquets.

In addition, on the streets outside the house, the flowing water seats will also be turned over non-stop, and the cooks of the major restaurants in Guangjing City are basically invited to the house, and several Kunqu opera troupes inside and outside the house will sing for three days in a row.

The first five rites of the six ceremonies, Wang Yan basically did not participate, this last ceremony to welcome the family, he had to come by himself, and when it was dusk, Wang Yan wore a red auspicious dress, wore a black gauze tent, rode a white horse covered with red and hung colors, and led the greeting team to the Gongguo Mansion to meet the lady of his family.

The Mansion of the Duke of Chu is the same as the Mansion of the Duke of Chu, it is also full of lights, He Zhizhi got up on the fifth watch, under the service of the little maid, first changed the previous hairstyle, the head, the face, and then the red lips, the thrush, veneer flowers, and the big red Ji clothes were worn, and the gold, silver, beads and emeralds were all over the head, he was already very good-looking, the eyebrows were picturesque, and under the costume, he was more beautiful like a flower.

In the room, He Zhizhi had already put on the phoenix crown, it took a day, the makeup was finished, she was happy, shy and scared in her heart, although she was very satisfied with Wang Yan and looked forward to this day, but thinking of what would happen on the wedding night, she still couldn't help but feel ashamed.

At this time, suddenly there was a faint sound of drum music in the distance, He Zhizhi was startled, only to see the little maid rushing over, shouting downstairs: "Miss, hurry up and prepare to go downstairs, my uncle is here to greet you." ”

According to the rules, before the bride gets married, she should give incense to her ancestors, bow down, say goodbye, and let her ancestors bless the safety of the door.

Hearing that Wang Yan was about to arrive outside the house, He Zhizhi came to the ancestral hall surrounded by a group of aunts, and He Tengjiao and his wife Liu were already waiting there.

He Tengjiao was full of spring breeze, not only found a good home for his daughter, but also got such a half son as Wang Yan, he could wake up with a smile in his dreams, Liu looked at He Zhizhi with a smile on his face, an eighteen-year-old girl, finally married, can you not like it? However, unlike He Tengjiao, the mother is soft-hearted after all, and her eyes are a little moist unconsciously.

He Zhizhi took a stick of incense, first worshiped the ancestors, and the He family around him sang some auspicious words, praying that the ancestors would bless the husband and wife, no disasters and no difficulties, and a hundred years of good together, and when He Zhizhi finished worshipping and went to kowtow to the second elder in the hall, her tears suddenly flowed down, and she saluted and said, "Father, mother, daughter is gone!" ”

Liu also held tears and helped his daughter up, feeling happy and sad in his heart.

At this time, I only heard the noisy drums outside the door of the house, and the firecrackers were ringing, but the wedding team had arrived in front of the house, Wang Yan was tall and big, behind him was a sedan chair to welcome the relatives, and then behind were several soldiers with red belts around their waists, they carried four large baskets, which were filled with copper coins, and threw them all the way to the crowd on both sides, attracting groups of children to laugh and scramble, and heard people applauding and congratulating everywhere.

Not long after, Wang Yan was led into the house by the He family, according to the customs, but also to sing poems, archery to open the door, set up barriers to ask for money, etc., but these customs are just a lively and auspicious, unlike now, Wang Yan can be literary and martial, naturally all of them are not a problem, all the way through, attracting applause all the way,

Finally entered the ancestral hall, Wang Yan gave incense to the ancestors of the He family, and then served tea to the second hall, He Tengjiao accepted it calmly, his face was full of happiness, Liu instructed a few words of harmony between husband and wife, white-headed to old age, etc., and the He family took out the bride with a red hijab and handed it to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan saw that the bride was tall and delicate, and his heart was relieved, he took He Zhizhi out of the house, the sedan chair man put down the sedan pole, the sisters-in-law of the Wang family rolled up the sedan curtain, Wang Yan led the bride to the sedan chair, but the sedan chair man refused to get up the sedan chair, and the musician stopped blowing.

"A thousand years of marriage, a hundred years of sleep. Born with a talented and beautiful woman, he only envies the mandarin duck and does not envy the immortals. Happy money, happy money~"

He Tengjiao, who was sent to the door, asked the housekeeper to take the reward money, and the shot was also generous, the matchmaker, the master of ceremonies, and the sedan chair man, and one of them did not fall behind, and the more gave ten taels, and the less gave one or two, and then played the music again, got up the sedan chair, and went to the Chu State Mansion.

When the team left, more than a dozen women from the He family chased after the sedan chair and splashed the water in the copper basin in their hands.

Liu looked at her daughter going away and marrying someone else's wife, she also had an indescribable loss in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh softly, but He Tengjiao was quite happy.

In ancient times, most of the weddings were at dusk or at night, and when the team returned to the Duke of Chu, it was already dark, and the crowd of people who came to congratulate them had already crowded the roadside.

"Red makeup with a concentric knot, unparalleled national warriors to create a good relationship, the two hearts reflect each other, hand in hand, and a lifetime will be connected forever~" The people who sent their relatives sang congratulations according to the custom, begging for money.

Wang Fuzhi and Wang Jiezhi, who greeted the guests at the door, hurriedly took out red envelopes and gave them to the He family who sent off their relatives, and the bride got off the sedan chair.

According to custom, the bride's feet should not touch the land of the man's family before the wedding, so the rich and noble families will use carpets, and the poor people will use two blankets to exchange for marching.

Wang Yan's house was covered with a long carpet leading from the door to the Qinglu tent, in the middle of which were placed braziers and plates filled with red dates, pears and other items.

Outside the house, the guests also began to enter the house, Wang Fuzhi and Wang Jiezhi, who were in charge of welcoming the guests, bowed with people again and again, "Su Ge Lao, welcome, please ...... inside" \u000b" Rejoice and rejoice, Dai Du Zhen quickly inside, please. “

After a busy hour, the holy decree of Daoxi in the palace finally came, the Wang family set up the incense case, Wang Yan and He Zhizhi received the holy decree, and the dynasty hired and whispered to the dynasty, "The hour is not early, you can get married!" ”

Wang Yan's father nodded to the master of ceremonies, and the master of ceremonies suddenly shouted: "The auspicious time has arrived, wedding!" ”

At this time, Wang Yan and He Zhizhi held up the red curtain, each holding a head, the two slowly approached, knelt down on the futon, in front of them was a wide table, spread red silk, lit red candles, in the middle there is a tablet with the words heaven and earth, and on both sides of the big table sat Wang Chaoli and Zhang.

"Worship Heaven and Earth~"

"Worship the high hall~"

The two knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of the tablet, and saluted the second elder, and the dynasty couldn't help but be full of red light, "For the father, I hope that the two of you will respect each other, love each other, and I also wish your husband to sing and give birth to a noble son early." ”

Zhang's heart was even more excited, and cloudy tears flowed out of his sunken eyes, and murmured: "My son is a family~"

"Husband and wife worship each other~"

After the two finished saluting, there was a round of applause outside the Qinglu.

"Licheng, send it to the cave room!"

Surrounded by the bridal maid and the bride, the two walked into the cave room, sat down in front of the bed, and the relatives and friends walked around the room, sprinkled petals and dates, and withdrew.

At this time, the maid who accompanied the marriage reminded, "Uncle, I picked a hijab and drank wine, my uncle and Miss are husband and wife, and they share weal and woe." ”

Wang Yan has experience, he picked up the weighing rod handed over by the maid, and slowly picked up He Zhizhi's red hijab, feeling a little nervous, all the way over, the girl's figure has nothing to say, but the appearance has always been a puzzle.

The hijab was lifted, He Zhizhi lowered his head shyly, Wang Yan looked at the side of his face, and he was happy in his heart, he was a beauty, but he was stunned and surprised, "Why are you~"

He Zhizhi was ashamed and angry, his head lowered, rubbed his hands, and snorted, "You're still not happy~"
