When everyone entered the courtyard, Xi Po opened the sedan curtain, and Guo Weier got out of the sedan chair and still placed two felts in front of the sedan chair. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info There are also Taoist priests, holding a flower bucket in their hands, which contains grain, beans, copper coins, colored fruits and other things, while reciting the mantra of exorcism and blessing, while looking at the items in the flower bucket and scattering them, and some children are also scrambling to pick up at this time.

This custom, called "Sprinkle Bean Valley", according to legend, this custom originated from the Western Han Dynasty, the purpose is to avoid the "three evils", and the development to later generations is "Sprinkle Sugar".

After the children have picked up the bean grains scattered on the ground, it is time to visit the church and get married, but now they can't go directly to the church, and there are still customs and rituals to go.

I saw Guo Weier, accompanied by the maid Xiaohong, stepping on the carpet and walking into the middle door of the lobby. Because the "saddle" of the saddle is homophonic with the "an" of peace, this cross saddle is also taken from the meaning of "praying for peace".

It is said that this custom was passed down from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, because the Hu people rode saddle horses at that time, so there was such a custom.

After the bride Guo Weier stepped into the saddle, Zhang Shihua's second aunt, Zhang Qin, also gave Guo Weier a mirror with a smile on her face. When marrying a woman, you must pay attention to your appearance, after all, "women's appearance" is also one of the women's virtues. This mirror is actually to tell the bride again that you are no longer a little daughter, and you must always pay attention to your dignity in the future.

And the bride entered the lobby, in front of the door of the lobby, she also needs to ask someone to open a bow and arrows, that is, three arrows in the air, which is similar to "sprinkling bean valley", but also to avoid evil, but because of the ban of the Yuanmeng court, the bow used for the arrow is more like a ritual tool, and it is not lethal in itself.

And the person who sent the arrow was naturally Zhang Shihua's cousin Zhang Shihui, and when Zhang Shihui finished shooting the three arrows, according to the customs at this time, the mother's family members who came to see off their relatives should leave.

But before they left, they had to drink the three glasses of wine that had been prepared for them. This custom is called "pro-send-off". Originally, this ceremony did not need Zhang Shihua to go in person, just entrust it to his relatives, but Zhang Shihua still went in person.

Guo Yu looked at the groom official Zhang Shihua opposite with a smile, hammered his fist on his shoulder and said, "Good brother-in-law, my sister will be handed over to you." After speaking, he drank three glasses of wine in a row, and then under Zhang Shihua's farewell, he took the mother's family who came to see off his relatives and strode away.

After the Guo family's family left, it also showed that the ceremony of welcoming relatives had passed and they could visit the church.

At this time, Zhang Shihua's parents, Zhang Liewu and Aunt Xue also sat on the main seat in the lobby, and the etiquette in the lobby took a big red concentric knot for Zhang Shihua, and then asked Zhang Shihua and Guo Weier to hold the concentric knot.

Then the ceremonial lang shouted: "The auspicious time has come, and the husband and wife will worship the church." ”

Then I heard the etiquette lang shouting in a loud voice: "One worships heaven and earth, two worships the high hall, and husband and wife worship each other." Of course, there were a lot of auspicious words in the middle, which will not be elaborated one by one, in short, after the worship was over, the ceremonial lang shouted in this loud voice: "Licheng." ”

Of course, there were many more ceremonies to follow, but for the guests outside, the next ceremonies had nothing to do with them, they had waited all morning, and finally waited for the wedding feast.

Because there are many guests, the drinks and dishes for the guests are ordered from the largest restaurant in the county, "Zuixiang Building", and when the time for the banquet comes, the drinks and dishes are delivered to the guests' tables like flowing water.

And not only is there a banquet in the Zhang family compound, but also a banquet has been set up in the Zhang family's shop and the Zhang family manor in Dazhang Village, which can be regarded as Zhang Shihua and the group of men who follow him, and they are happy together on the big day.

is saying that Zhang Shihua and Guo Weier are husband and wife, and there are still a lot of ceremonies to continue.

Although the etiquette lang shouted that he was entering the cave room, there was one more very important thing to do before entering the cave room, that is, entering the ancestral hall to announce the ancestors, and putting Guo Weier's name in the Zhang family tree.

It can be said that this is very important, because from now on, it also means that Guo Weier is also a "master" of the Zhang family, and this is also a privilege that only a wife can enjoy.

Later generations said that the status of women today is very low, and in the impression of later generations, it seems that a husband only needs a letter of divorce to repair his wife, but this is actually a misunderstanding caused by the lack of understanding of current customs in later generations.

In the matter of "divorce of wives" now, no matter which family it is, it is a great event. A wife is not something that your husband can divorce if he wants to, because wives are not the same as concubines, and the wife's name is also recorded in the family tree, and she is also a master of the family.

Now, if you want to divorce your wife, unless your wife does not abide by the woman's morals and has seven mistakes, and then the elders of your family also agree to divorce your wife and remove your wife from the family tree, so that the husband's divorce letter has legal effect, otherwise the husband's divorce letter is a waste of paper, and it is useless.

Now even if the emperor wants to abolish the queen, he must first ask the queen mother and the ministers if they agree, otherwise it will be useless.

And here, we have to mention the difference between the concubine and the wife, if the wife is the mistress of the family, then the status of the concubine is much lower. In the present, a concubine is not even a person, it can only be regarded as a piece of goods, if it is favored by the lord, it is fine, if it is not favored, then the status in the family is even similar to that of the next person.

For example, in the Tang and Song dynasties, literati and doctors had a habit of giving each other's concubines and having fun with each other.

This also shows the low status of concubines. And the most pitiful thing is that even if the concubine gives birth to a son, the child cannot recognize the concubine as his mother, and he has no inheritance rights. can only recognize the mistress of the family as the mother, and even if the concubine meets a strong hostess, even if the mistress beats the concubine to death, the mistress is not guilty, at most she will be fined some silver by the government.

This is also why, even if some families are poor and miserable, they are not willing to marry their daughters to those rich and noble families as concubines, because this is a road of no return!

However, this kind of wife and concubine thing is still far away from Zhang Shihua, to be honest, although Zhang Shihua has traveled to this era for several years, he still regards himself as a modern person in his bones, and he is not the kind of romantic person, and he is under so much pressure that he has never considered the issue of concubine.

Now kneeling in the ancestral hall, he just thinks that he must protect his family in the troubled times, as for the rest, he really doesn't have so much energy.

After Zhang Shihua and Guo Weier came out of the ancestral hall, they officially walked to the new house, where are there still a lot of customs and ceremonies to do, but these ceremonies will not be described in detail here.

In short, when the ceremony is completed, Zhang Shihua, the groom, should also sit down and toast to the guests who came.

On this happy day, everyone looked beaming, as if everyone here didn't care about the chaotic world outside the city, just looking at the Zhang family compound full of joy and laughter, who in the courtyard would think of the bloody and turbulent world outside the city.

Perhaps of all the people here, only Zhang Shihua has deep worries in his heart. But after all, today is Zhang Shihua's day of great joy, he buried all the worries in his heart deep in his heart, today he is just a groom official who married the woman he likes, so he has a gentle smile on his face all day long, and it has never changed.

When he, the bridegroom, walked to the front yard, almost all the guests turned their eyes to him, many of them smiled and raised their glasses to him, and he also walked to the tables with a smile, and the tables toasted to the guests to express their gratitude.

And the voices of the guests' "congratulations" can be said to be endless.

Of course, there are also many playmates who have a good relationship with Zhang Shihua and want to take this opportunity to pour Zhang Shihua wine, but Zhang Shihua has already prepared for all this.

Among the guests this time, those men who followed Zhang Shihua, as long as the position was above the chief, a lot of them came, Zhang Shihua asked them to come, originally thinking of taking advantage of this to shorten the distance between himself and them, but he didn't expect them to come but also did himself a favor, just like those who wanted to take the opportunity to pour wine to Zhang Shihua, the groom official, are now almost all overturned by this group of men.

However, for these men, Zhang Shihua also treated them equally, and after entering the table, he also toasted them with a glass of wine, these men were toasted by Zhang Shihua, and they suddenly felt flattered, Zhang Shihua looked at them holding wine glasses with a straight look, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, and said a few words to let them not be restrained, and left.
