Now, the only wife who is justified is Cai Yan, and the other women have not yet made a wedding ceremony. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

To marry a wife, of course, is to marry Zhen Jiang first.

Equal wife, and the wife on an equal footing, the marriage etiquette of marrying a flat wife should naturally be handled in strict accordance with the ceremony of marrying a wife, from the proposal to the completion of the marriage, a total of six etiquette ceremonies to go, namely Nacai, name, Najib, Nazheng, invitation, and welcome.

Because these six etiquettes need to go back and forth between the Zhen family and the Jin family, and from the Zhen family in Wuji County, Zhongshan County to the Jin family's general's mansion in Xiangyang, hundreds of miles apart, and now it is a cold winter with snow, and the roads are muddy.

Jin Liang and Zhen Jiang's encounter and love affair happened in Julu, and Tian Feng, a giant deer person, witnessed it with his own eyes, although Tian Feng is now a royal historian from the second grade, but because he was recommended by Jin Liang, Jin Liang is his lord, and he is a witness to the love between Jin Liang and Zhen Jiang, so although he has a serious and righteous face, he is really not suitable for being a matchmaker, but he also adheres to the 'spirit' of who else is self-serving, and runs around on both sides of the Zhen family and the Jin family in Xiangyang.

Zhen Jiang's mother, Mrs. Zhang, obstructed Jin Liang and Zhen Jiang's marriage because of old age and stupidity, and tried in vain to marry Zhen Jiang to Sima Lang of the Sima family who served Dong Zhuo, and was placed under house arrest by Zhen Jiang's eldest brother Zhen Yu.

The first step, Nacai, the Jin family wanted to marry the Zhen family, so they asked the matchmaker Tian Feng to go to the Zhen family to propose, and after getting the consent of Zhen Jiang's eldest brother Zhen Yu, he asked the matchmaker Tian Feng to officially choose the gift to the Zhen family, according to the weekly gift, it was a wild goose.

Jin Liang was very unfamiliar with these etiquettes, and when he saw Nacai sending geese, he felt very surprised, so he asked the matchmaker Tian Feng: "Why do Nacai give geese as gifts?" ”

Although Tian Feng is not a great Confucian, he is also very knowledgeable, and replied without thinking: "Those who use geese should take them north and south at any time, without losing their festivals, and returning from the north without seizing the sky, coming and going sometimes, never losing the season, and using geese to symbolize the unswerving commitment of both men and women; The geese are the things that follow the sun, the geese are in order, the geese flock in the rows when migrating and flying, the leader is the strong goose, and the young and the weak follow behind, never exceed, the principle is used for marriage, the young and the old follow in order, do not cross the order to marry, and moreover, the geese are male and female, symbolizing loyalty and white-headed old age.

The second step is to ask for the name, and the Jin family sent matchmaker Tian Feng to Zhen's house to ask Zhen Jiang's name and birthday, and after Tian Feng asked Zhen Jiang's birthday back, he sent Jin Liang's birthday to Zhen's house. In this Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no Mr. Yin and Yang, the Jin family and the Zhen family went their separate ways, asked the ghosts and gods, sued the family temple, and saw whether the eight characters of the two sides were compatible.

Jin Liang could see that asking ghosts and gods and suing the family temple was just a ritual, and if he wanted to regret it, he could use the eight-character non-cooperation as an excuse. The marriage between Jin Liang and Zhen Jiang ostensibly represents the combination of the interests of the Jin family and the Zhen family, but in fact represents the recognition of the Jin Liang Central Military System for the local good families in Jingzhou.

In the third step, Najib, after the Jin family asked for the name and combined the eight characters, notified the Zhen family of the auspicious omen of the marriage, and gave a gift to express that he wanted to get engaged.

The fourth step, Na Zheng, also known as Na Cheng, Na Yuan, is commonly known as the bride price, the Jin family is in Naji learned that the Zhen family agreed to marry before the levy can be carried out, the levy does not need geese, Jin Liang is not bad money now, he sent 20 pearls, 20 pieces of beauty, 2,000 catties of Huang Lu, 2,000 pieces of silk satin as a bride price, of course, this bride price is far inferior to the dowry sent by the wealthy Zhen family, but it is much stronger than the bride price sent by most of the children of the family in the same period.

The fifth step is to ask for the period, also known as the notice period, commonly known as the selection of the 'day'. Following the "Etiquette? The provisions of the "Shi Du Ceremony", please use the goose, the host resigns, and the guest promises the period, such as the levy ceremony. Jin Liang sent matchmaker Tian Feng to the woman's house to ask for a date, send a wild goose gift, and then make a speech, explaining the marriage date, the eldest brother Zhen Yu, who is like a father, accepted it, Tian Feng returned to his life, and the wedding date was December 1 'day' in the first winter of Guangxi.

The sixth step is to welcome the bride, also known as the bridegroom, Jin Liang, to personally marry the bride Zhen Jiang and go home.

Jin Liang looked at the wedding dress prepared for himself a few days in advance and was very disappointed. The Han Dynasty was Huode, and Huode was still red, but the red of Huode was not the popular Chinese red in later generations, but a dark red that turned black, somewhat like dull bloodstains. Jin Liang looked at this kind of groom and bride robe, and disliked it very much, and ordered people to make a festive red 'color'.

Jin Liang put on a big red 'colored' wedding robe, put on a big red flower on his chest, took the wine given to him by Lu Zhi, who was the master as the acting parent, drank it all, and then set off to marry his bride Zhen Jiang.

In the Han Dynasty, the wedding of his son-in-law and wife used a carriage, and Jin Liang specially persuaded the red rabbit horse to help tow the cart in order to show his importance to Zhen Jiang. Jin Liang crouched down in the ear of the red rabbit horse and whispered, the red rabbit horse booed a few times, indicating that he agreed, Jin Liang knew that his BMW was deeply understanding of human 'sex', so it was not surprising that the people around him were very surprised. The red rabbit horse and its two concubines, two jujube red 'colored' horses, pulled the cart together.

Jin Liang first said in front of the ancestral tablet in the family temple: "The ancestors are above, the child Jin Liang ushered in Zhen Jiang, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family in Zhongshan, for the Jin family today, and spread the branches and leaves for the Jin family, continue the incense, and hope that the spirit of the two elders in the sky can bless Bu'er with a happy marriage." Walking out of the family temple, Jin Liang drove the troika of the red rabbit horse and two jujube red horses to the Zhen family's house in Xiangyang.

During this period, each family raised dead soldiers as assassins to assassinate political or economic opponents, Jin Liang personally drove and was unarmed, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Chen Zhi led two thousand flying tiger guards to pretend to be a welcoming team, closely escorting the left and right, at the same time, Huang Zhong took over the deployment of Xiangyang, and attacked and suppressed various dark forces in Xiangyang in advance to ensure the normal progress of Jin Liang and Zhen Jiang's wedding.

Zhen Yu, the son of Zhen's family, greeted the groom Jin Liang outside the door, Jin Liang made a gift with geese, and gave each other to enter the hall, Jin Liang entered the Zhen family's temple, and bowed three times to Zhen Jiang's father, Zhen Yi, who had long passed away.

Jin Liang walked to the gate of the Zhen family's house, and Zhen Jiang was already waiting there with the support of his three younger sisters Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, and Zhen Mi.

I saw Zhen Jiang wearing a phoenix crown on his head, wearing a xia veil, and he wanted to bring a python robe, a hundred flowers pleated skirt, and red embroidered shoes, full of festivity.

In this era, there was no red hijab, Zhen Jiang kept his head down shyly, Jin Liang noticed that Zhen Jiang had made a 'fine' modification on his face, and covered the shallow scars on his face with blush, and now he was really picturesque.

Jin Liang stepped forward to hold Zhen Jiang's little hand and helped Zhen Jiang to get into the carriage, when Zhen Jiang got on the car, Jin Liang personally handed Zhen Jiang the red rope used to get on the car in accordance with etiquette, and took care of her to get into the car.

Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, and Zhen Mi also followed and got into the carriage to take care of their sister Zhen Jiang.

Jin Liang personally drove the carriage and let the carriage circle around the Zhen family three times before driving to Jin Liang's general's mansion.

When he arrived at the door of the house, Jin Liang got out of the car first, helped Zhen Jiang get out of the car, and then took Zhen Jiang's hand and walked home.

Under the guidance of the best man Lu Fan and others, who are familiar with etiquette, the wedding scene in the Lu Mansion was arranged, and all the relevant items and personnel were in place.

When Jin Liang led Zhen Jiang to the lobby of Lufu, the wedding ceremony officially began, Cui Yan, who was familiar with etiquette, was in charge of the ceremony, he first walked to the incense table and stood up, someone next to him handed three incense sticks, Cui Yan held the incense and bowed three times, put on the incense, and then retreated to the lower right corner of the screen to sing: The wedding begins!

The groom Jin Liang led the bride Zhen Jiang and stepped into the wedding scene, Lu Dai, Lu Chang, Lu Zhao, and Lu Fan followed behind the groom Jin Liang as the best man, and Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, and Zhen Mi followed the bride Zhen Jiang as bridesmaids.

Cui Yan, the salute of the salute, sings: the salute of the table!

The groom Jin Liang and the bride Zhen Jiang sat on the mats in opposite positions of their respective cases, the best men Lu Dai, Lu Chang, Lu Zhao and Lu Fan stood behind the groom Jin Liang, and the bridesmaids Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong and Zhen Mi stood behind the bride Zhen Jiang.

The master of ceremonies, Chen Lin, stepped forward and sandwiched the cooked rice, meat dishes and vegetarian dishes from the three plates into the bowls of the groom Jin Liang and the bride Zhen Jiang, and walked in front of them. Jin Liang and Zhen Jiang saluted Chen Lin, took the bowl and raised it above their heads, and praised the official Cui Yan and sang: "Worship!" Prosper! Jin Liang and Zhen Jiang bowed to each other. Cui Yan sings: Same prison! Then Jin Liang and Zhen Jiang eat rice in a bowl.

The groom Jin Liang and the bride Zhen Jiang turned to face the front, and the salute official Cui Yan sang: Worship heaven and earth! The groom Jin Liang and the bride Zhen Jiang bowed three times.

Then Jin Liang and Zhen Jiang got up and walked to the front of their parents and sat down. Jin Liang's parents died early, so Jin Liang's master Lu Zhi and his wife acted as Jin Liang's parents, Zhen Jiang's father Zhen Yi died early, and his mother was seriously ill, so Zhen Jiang's uncle Zhen Yi and his wife took Zhen Jiang's parents.

Then there is the long-awaited wedding banquet for all guests, commonly known as eating and drinking.

Because this wedding is Jin Liang's first marriage after becoming an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, the secretary of the military department, and the general of the southern expedition, there are countless people who cling to it, and the wedding is attended not only by the generals and their wives who are the commander of the central army, but also by the officials and their wives from the Xiangyang court from the sixth rank and above, and there are also envoys sent by the princes from all over the Dong Alliance.

Because there were more than 2,000 people who came to the wedding, in view of the fact that Liu Wei was almost taken by the assassins sent by Li Ru at the last banquet of the Son of Heaven, Jin Liang asked Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Chen Zhi to lead 2,000 Flying Tiger soldiers to pretend to be servants of the Jin family, including defense, and Huang Zhong led 10,000 horses and horses, guarding outside, and all the people who came to the wedding must confirm their identities, and cannot let strangers participate in the wedding casually.

In order to ensure the taste of the wedding banquet, the wedding banquet was still hosted by the Zhen family, and Zhen Yu invited hundreds of famous chefs in Jingzhou to ensure that the wine and food made were better than the last banquet of the Son of Heaven.

The Empress Dowager He Lian, the Son of Heaven Liu Bian, the Empress Tang Yue, and the Wannian Princess Liu Hua were very favored by Jin Liang, and it can be said that without Jin Liang, they would not be able to sit in the Xiangyang Palace, so they all came to the wedding together and sat as the chief. As the commander of the Ouchi guards, Wu Fang led dozens of female guards to guard near the chief to prevent the incident like last time from happening again.

Jin Liang held Zhen Jiang, and the emcee Chen Lin held the wine case, with a wine bottle and a wine jug on the wine table, and the wine used for this wedding was all apricots owned by the Tuntian Corps under Jin Liang.

The Empress Dowager He Lian'an sat there, squinting her phoenix eyes, and looked at Zhen Jiang carefully up and down, until Zhen Jiang felt uncomfortable, and secretly pinched Jin Liang's hand with her hand, Jin Liang coughed lightly, and the Empress Dowager He realized her gaffe, and giggled: "Aiqing, your bride is really beautiful, I feel pity, but I remember that you already have a wife, it seems that you are not surnamed Zhen!" ”

Jin Liang's eyes stared coldly at the Empress Dowager He with a smug smile on her face, forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and said calmly: "That's Wechen's wife Cai Yan, this is Wechen's wife Zhen Jiang, Zhen Jiang's status is equal to his wife, so he is called a flat wife, and he and his wife Cai Yan deal with my family's major affairs together!" Queen Mother, Wechen remembered that I had told you before that Wechen wanted to take the lead in equalizing his wife, could it be that the Queen Mother, your nobles were busy and forgot? ! ”

Empress Dowager He saw that many princes and ministers turned their heads to look at this place in surprise, for fear of provoking criticism, so she forcibly suppressed the jealousy in her heart, and did not answer Jin Liang's question, but took the wine bottle handed to her by Jin Liang and drank it all. As soon as the wine was drunk, he immediately stuck out his tongue and said coquettishly: "Aiqing, what kind of wine are you, why is it so spicy!" ”

Empress Dowager He put the wine bottle on the case, and snorted coldly: "Aiqing, don't deceive this palace, this palace has also drunk Fen wine, and the entrance is soft, not so spicy at all." ”

Jin Liang asked Zhen Jiang to pour a bottle of wine into the wine bottle of the Empress Dowager He, and said with a faint smile: "Please fill this cup with this cup again, taste it carefully, and know how good this wine is!" In his mouth, he squinted his phoenix eyes and savored it.

Empress Dowager He opened her phoenix eyes suddenly, and said with a smile: "Good wine, really good wine!" This wine is soft in the mouth, sweet in the mouth, fragrant after drinking, and has a long aftertaste, after drinking this wine, this palace suddenly feels that all the wine I have drunk before is light and tasteless, and there is no pleasure, Aiqing, such a good wine, how did you make it?! ”

Jin Liang said with a smile: "Chop the millet, steam it, and brew it in the urn for ten 'days', and steam it well, and you will get its wine, which is as clear as water and has a very strong taste." Of course, this wine is good, and it has something to do with the spring water near Xinghua Village where the winery is located and the millet planted nearby. ”

Empress Tang Yue asked coldly: "General Lu, now there are disaster victims everywhere waiting to be fed, you don't take food to help the victims, but use it to make wine, isn't this contrary to what Mencius said, 'Da is good for the world', this palace has also heard that the general has said that he will ban alcohol before!" ”

Jin Liang's eyes glanced at Tang Yue quickly, the fifteen-year-old queen's soft and snow-white little face was stretched so long, it seemed that she still remembered that she had no time to look for her after she had intimate contact with her by Huangluo Lake three months ago, and said with a light smile: "The queen has not been out for three months since she entered Xiangyang, I don't know that Jingzhou and Bingzhou have undergone earth-shaking changes, nearly a million displaced people have poured into Jingzhou, and they have been properly settled, I have ordered people to purchase food everywhere, enough for millions of soldiers and civilians in Jingzhou for a year, and after a year, Tuntian will definitely have a bumper harvest, Naturally, there will be no worries about running out of food. The food consumed by Xinghua Distillery this year is less than 1,000 stones, which does not affect the livelihood of the people in Jingzhou and Bingzhou as a whole. (To be continued.) )
