Chapter 151: A Revised Version of the Great Song Wedding

The master of ceremonies they hired is also known as the master of ceremonies, as many as twelve, which is the chief conductor of the quiet master's house, so that they can take care of their own stalls, and everyone works together. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The whole Great Song style wedding is well organized when it is carried out, and of course, this process is still a little different from the Great Song style wedding.

In the wedding of the Great Song Dynasty, when it comes to the wedding day, it is necessary to hire public or private prostitutes to ride horses, and also invite music officials to advocate and welcome the eaves of flowers or rattan chairs of rice eaves or rice dumplings...... After preparing these, go to the woman's house and marry the newlyweds.

The quiet lord's family didn't agree at the time, what kind of prostitute do you invite on the big day?!

They don't need to attract attention...... The wedding of the head of Wang Defa's family is attractive enough!

Wang Defa's own villa has already been built, and the decoration work has been done in combination with the style of the Great Song Dynasty.

Luo Niang's maiden home will be used as a villa for the time being, the owner of Zhang Guoan Island and the quiet owner.

The construction of the Liuqiu Badao estuary area is now changing with each passing day, and they have long been short of houses to live in, and they can also settle down several times as many of their mother's family.

The little old man Luo Yuan praised the so-called Badaohe-style villa at that time, and he said to his daughter Luo Niang: "The scenery here is very good, my son, can you settle the old man here?" ”

To be honest, Luo Niang was still a little worried before, her father was a person who abided by the law of etiquette, but once she was dissatisfied with the so-called outsiders, it was difficult to agree to this marriage.

However, there are really no taboos...... Everything went smoothly.

Luo Niang replied respectfully at that time: "The child has already chosen the location, and soon he will start building a ------ for his father."

The little old man Luo Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed at that time.

Having said that, on the day of the wedding, the quiet lord sent three four-wheeled/large carriages painted with red paint, and they were all pulled by four big red horses.

When the Luo family's family saw it, they immediately felt relieved, and they saw it, these are twelve jujube red horses!

According to the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty, his daughter's family entertained a group of people with wine etiquette, scattered flower red, silver plates, and Lishi money will be up to now, and then the music official made music and makeup, and the official chose to report the time, urging to board the car, and the tea and wine division recited poems to each other to urge the newcomers to go out of the pavilion and board the car.

But there was no musician, so I read the words directly, and then I set off two firecrackers with 1,000 rings each according to the requirements of the quiet master...... The Luo family's mother's family looked at each other, okay, this is a begging custom.

After the sound of firecrackers, the bride boarded the bus accompanied by two bridesmaids, and the crowd was stunned for a while!

The bride and bridesmaids are dressed up so beautifully......

I saw Luo Niang wearing a beaded crown on her head, covering her face with a bead curtain in front of her, covering her with a red Luo Xia cloak, wearing a colorful Shu satin coat inside, and a red Luo skirt underneath...... As she walked slowly, red leather wedge shoes were exposed.

The two bridesmaids wore flowers on their heads, pink tops, pink skirts, and pink leather wedge shoes on their feet.

They also carry pink leather bags on their arms...... It contains items that can be used to touch up the bride's makeup at any time.

After they got in the car, they were unwilling to start, still reciting poems, asking for money and wine in the city, hehe, and waiting until a master of ceremonies gave a red envelope on behalf of the woman's family, they whipped and drove the horse, until the head of Wang Defa's house.

The etiquette of the bride getting off the sedan chair and entering the man's house is that the whole marriage officially enters the climax, and its ritual sequence is quite cumbersome.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the bride got off the sedan chair at the door of the man's house, and could not enter the door immediately, but had to carry out three small ceremonies: first, the music officials, prostitutes, sedan chairs, and advocates "blocked the door" to ask for "money and goods in the market".

This kind of "barricade" also has a certain procedural ritual:

When musicians, prostitutes, etc., block the door, they must recite auspicious verses and speak auspicious words.

For example, the two poems of the barricade:

Xian'e is ethereal, and she is close to the cave meeting.

Today's door fence is more joyful, and the flower box is not necessary to save the city.

The gifts are more expensive, and they are more expensive than ordinary market exchanges.

One hundred thousand waist wraps should be satisfied, and three thousand and a half somo are lightly thrown.

Answering the Door Poem:

A gentleman has never cherished gold, and this intention has become deeper.

I want to talk about my relatives, and I don't need to introduce my hard work.

The caves are all within easy reach, and there is nothing to cover in front of the door.

It is ashamed that the market can be thrown, and it is difficult to retreat without a cause.

This kind of barricade etiquette was originally full of joyful atmosphere, and the wedding family spent a little "money in the market" to add a lively atmosphere to the wedding.

But the quiet lord has canceled all of this, what is the hindrance in the marriage?!

All of them will be changed to give out red envelopes, one for each person!

The second step was to follow the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty and perform the ritual of sprinkling grain beans.

There is a master of ceremonies to fight forward, the bucket is full of grains, beans, money, fruits, grass festivals, etc., curses, and then looks at the door and scatters, and the onlookers scramble to pick it up...... Because there are also red envelopes in it.

In fact, the Great Song Dynasty is called sprinkling grain beans, and the vulgar clouds are to suppress Qingyang and other killing gods.

This is an expression of wishes for the marriage home, hoping that through the gift of sprinkling grain beans, disasters and disasters can be eliminated and the bride will be safe.

This method was more popular in the capital and folk of the Great Song Dynasty, and the quiet master remembered this similar behavior of sprinkling candy back then, so he kept it and let the newlyweds do the same.

The next third step is the bride's saddle ceremony.

There is a provision in the Great Song Dynasty Wedding Law that the newlyweds get off the eaves and step on the green cloth strips or felt mats, and they are not allowed to step on the ground; One person holds the mirror backwards, leading the newcomer to cross the saddle grass and scales, and get started.

Here are a few points to explain.

First, the gift of crossing the saddle was popular in the wedding of scholars and doctors in the Tang Dynasty, and in the Song Dynasty, it was unchanged, and the saddle was homophonic with An, and the bride crossed the saddle.

Second, on the way from the bride to the door of her son-in-law's house, the bride "must not step on the ground", and must be covered with a green brocade mattress and a green felt mat.

In fact, the process is very simple, quiet the main house to give reservation.

In the fourth step, a noble lady leads a couple of newlyweds into a room and sits on the bed.

Generally, the man sits on the right side of the bed, and the bride sits on the left, which is called "sitting on the rich".

When a new satin was hung on the forehead of the wedding room door and the bride entered, everyone scrambled for a small piece and left, saying that the cloud "paid the door in the city".

This noble lady was also personally mounted by the quiet lord's house.

At that time, Wang Defa's family also asked in a whisper: "Quiet, how many steps are there?!" ”

What's the hurry, listen to the emcee's arrangement.

The quiet master replied in a whisper: "Let's follow the customs!" ”

At this time, Luo Niang had already put on a red hijab, she smiled in the hijab, her husband was still an impatient person.

The fifth step is to enter the central hall to hold a worship ceremony, which is the most important gift in the wedding.

The master of ceremonies invites the bride and groom out of the cave room and goes to the central hall to hold it.

Xinyun Wang Defa asked the bride Luo Niang to come out in front of the bed, and the two of them had used colored satin to tie a concentric, which was called a scarf.

Wang Defa hung this scarf on the wat, and Luo Niang put it on his hand.

During the period when Wang Defa pulled out Luo Niang, he has always been perverse, keeping the two always facing each other.

Originally, according to the requirements of the Great Song Dynasty, there should be a male family with a full female parent, pick off the woman's hijab with a scale or a machine, and then go to the front of the hall to pay homage to the man's parents, family temple, etc.

However, the quiet master changed it again, let Xinyang pick his own hijab and not say anything, and arranged for the master of ceremonies to learn the password of "three thanks", ------ master of ceremonies felt very novel, but did it one by one.

When shouting to thank his parents, Wang Defa could only lead Luo Niang to bow to a pair of empty chairs, there was no way but to express the meaning of telling the parents of the world in this way.

Step 6 is simple.

The bridesmaids hold two glasses, hand them to the groom and the bride respectively, and tie the bottom of the cup with red and green concentricity, and make a ceremony, that is, exchange wine glasses and drink.

After drinking, the cup is thrown on the newlywed bed, and the cup is tilted and closed, and the vulgar clouds are auspicious.

This toast ceremony is followed by a bun salute.

The bride and groom sit side by side, the man on the left and the woman on the right, each with a little comb of hair as a bun, so this bun is also called knotted hair.

This kind of hair knotting ceremony has an auspicious meaning, indicating that with the combination of two, the couple will grow old together in the future, live and die together, and share the good wishes of the same fate.

In this process, Wang Defa's family really understood why "knotting hair" has become a synonym and symbol of formal marriage.

Then the two sides officially opened the room, and others had to bother!

As soon as the cave room is said, it is the habit of the Tatars.

Ban Gu once recorded the customs of Yandi in the Northern Kingdom in the "Hanshu Geographical Chronicles": "On the eve of marriage, there is no difference between men and women, but they are proud." ”

In the Great Song Dynasty, there was no such custom at all, and the people who participated in the wedding went to the prepared thank-you banquet to have a good meal.

In fact, according to the folk rules of the Great Song Dynasty, after the couple completed the wedding, there were also ceremonies such as worshipping the door and the three dynasties.

It's okay, this is not difficult, and my father-in-law Luo Yuan is nearby.

The whole wedding was carried out in a lively and auspicious atmosphere, whether it was onlookers or people who officially participated in the wedding, they all felt that this wedding was auspicious and interesting, and they were also grateful for the large and small red envelopes that flew out from time to time, which was more or less an unexpected joy!

However, not everyone was happy for this couple------ there was a young man surnamed Liang surnamed Xiao Bai, with a blue face, standing in the shadows and scolding:

Whoever marries my ****** will die at my hand! (To be continued.) )
