Chapter 39: When the Wedding Takes Place
The dawn of dawn pierced the dark sky, and the welcoming procession of the horses had reached the gate of the princess's palace.
The wedding process was introduced in great detail early on the weekend, and as a princess, she quietly waited for the arrival of the wedding team, ready to respond to various changes at any time.
He didn't change much about the wedding etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, and even if he wanted to change it, the world would not agree with it.
First of all, the groom, that is, Yang Xun, shouted "The bride comes out" with the attendants in front of the princess's palace.
Of course, it's not that simple, and then Yang Wei needs to recite a hypnotic poem: "I don't know what night it is, urge the balcony to get closer to the mirror." Who said hibiscus water seeds? A branch opens in the bronze mirror. β
Princess Xianyi was able to walk out of the hall in full costume, wearing a red dress and dragging a long tail in the air, set off by the palace maid behind. Thousands of green silks have a golden phoenix hairpin firmly fixed on their heads. There was a little naughtiness in her eyes, a little more cautious, and the white fan blocked her face. According to the established route, sit on the newlywed's special jade chariot.
After departure, the golden boy and jade girl sprinkled grains behind her, and there will be special officials to send copper coins to the people who come to watch, sitting in the carriage of the princess on the weekend, looking at the lively Luoyang City, I can't help but be a little addicted in my heart, looking at the simple and kind faces of the ancient people, and thinking of these people I know, I lost my mind for a while.
Soon to the square in the center of Luoyang City.
On weekends, many simple tables and chairs were installed around the mobile stage to allow people to watch the grand wedding, and the rostrum was three-tiered, sorted by official position.
He didn't know many people, and he saw King Shou entering the venue behind a young and beautiful woman, and he knew on the weekend that this was Concubine Wu Hui who brought King Shou to attend the wedding, and the last to enter the current saint, Tang Xuanzong, Li Longji, dressed in a golden and rich imperial robe set off his unparalleled status.
After everyone was seated, Weekend shook his spirits and walked onto the center stage, shouting loudly, "The auspicious time has come, and the princess's wedding has officially begun!" β
The square used as a stage is huge, and he can only use homemade horns to amplify his own volume, and at the same time have several guards who are naturally loud shouting repeatedly.
"Please invite today's newcomers, Princess Xianyi and Yang Huan, to come on stage~" said to the two people who were already ready in the audience, and at the same time to everyone.
The newcomer first needs to cross the brazier, and on the first step is a brazier, which is not big and can be easily crossed.
"Yufeng raised his feet to the fire, and the fierce gods hid on both sides. Happy to land from the sky to the blessed nest, a good day is prosperous! After seeing the two of them on stage on the weekend, they took the lead in blessings.
Through the fan, I can also feel that Princess Xianyi is satisfied with his organization on the weekend.
After going on the stage, there is a saddle, which is carved into a jade saddle from a piece of sandalwood, and the newcomers step over to keep safe every step.
Then the people arranged on the weekend began to give out copper coins for the second time to show the wealth of the royal family.
"Next, I will invite the groom to make a decision on the stage of his wedding celebration." After seeing you over the weekend, continue to preside.
One arrow shoots every day to give good fate, two arrows shoot heaven and earth with a pair, and three arrows determine the future. As a colt, Yang Wei is a must-have archery, so he will naturally not make a fool of himself.
At the end of the wedding is the "gift of the fan", βββ bride always covers her face with a fan, even if the groom picks up the red hijab, the fan is not removed, and the groom's talent must be used to impress the bride in order to see the bride's face.
The groom must also chant a "fan poem" in public to see if he can impress the bride.
Yang Xun, as a son-in-law, is a piece of cake to write poetry, and he chanted poetry in public, "Don't fan out the painting to cover up the talent of Chunshan." If the reunion is a bright moon, osmanthus must be bloomed. β
The weekend immediately praised with prepared lines, "The groom's poem is wonderful, comparing the bride to a beautiful osmanthus." β
Princess Xianyi was very satisfied after hearing this, so she moved the fan away, and the shallow makeup decorated the already charming face more coquettishly, with the festive wedding dress, not only Yang Wei was intoxicated for a while, but even the weekend's eyes were a little distracted, and he lost his mind, but he still didn't forget the process of the wedding, otherwise he would be embarrassed in front of the royal family and the people.
He shouted loudly, "Now please make a big bow to the newlyweds, and do three bows and nine bows." β
"Worship the sun, moon and stars of heaven and earth, please turn around a couple, dress up, bow your hands, and worshipββγ The wind and rain are smooth, one bow, the five grains are abundant, and then bow, the family business is prosperous, three bows, and then worship the high hall, the ancestors. Dressed up, bye. I wish my parents many blessings and a long life, and I bow. May the high hall be happy and healthy, and bow again. May the parents and parents, Shoubi Nanshan, bow three times. Invite the newlyweds to face north, stand opposite each other - dress each other - bow - bow - bow to the love of husband and wife. A hundred years of good peace, and bow again. Born early, three bows. β
Because the wedding required Tang Xuanzong and Yang Shenjiao to sit side by side, Yang Shenjiao was slightly flustered and reluctantly sat down on the rostrum, but Tang Xuanzong kept watching the wedding progress, and saw the newlyweds bowing to him, and at the same time waved his hand.
"The cowherd in the sky will weave the girl, and the talented people on the earth will be matched into a pair, and today the two families will marry Qin and Jin, and they will be prosperous and rich for ten thousand years." After the weekend ceremony, blessings.
He clapped his hands, the maid heard the order, came to the stage to offer scissors, Princess Xianyi and Yang Wei each cut a strand of hair, and then tied it up with red thread and put it into the brocade bag to form a "sideburns", which was kept by the bride, symbolizing the harmony of husband and wife, forever knotted and concentric, which is for "knotting hair".
Then he picked up the simple speaker and said, "After the ceremony, all relatives and friends, please enjoy this banquet to the fullest, and now, by our newcomers, we will start today's carnival!" β
He asked the maid to hand over a glass of wine, and the "gift of the couple" was to tie a red rope to a gourd divided into two, and the bride and groom exchanged gourd scoops to drink the wine in the scoop together.
At the same time as drinking, he said: "Heyu refers to the husband and wife having a glass of wine, the gourd is bitter, and the gourd poured into it is naturally bitter wine, and the gourd divided into two contains the deep meaning of sharing the joys and sorrows." Once you drink the same wine, your life will last forever. The newlyweds fold their hands, and happiness begins from there. Drink a glass of wine together, stay in the true love and true love, please cheers! I wish the newcomers a strong mood, a blend of blood, and love in the sky. Everyone raised the glass in front of them and drank together! "Everyone has a glass of wine in front of them, and the dishes are ready and ready to be served.
Then the banquet began, and the stage was taken over by rehearsed plays, dancers, etc.
Finally, after drinking water on the weekend, Runrun's throat had already dried up, and he returned to the rest shed, looked around, and was shocked, where did Yang Yuhuan go?
He looked up at the position of King Shou, and his eyes shrank.
