Chapter 303: Rites in the Room
Gao Shun is relatively old, has married a wife and had children, and now the family lives in Nanyang Wancheng.
Gan Ning is the personality of the prodigal son, who likes freedom and does not love marriage. During the period of crossing the Yangtze River, it also plagued many local girls. But Gan Ning never needs to be strong, he relies on the punk shape of a bird feather in a brocade coat, a crown, a gold ring in his ears, and a double halberd. Not to mention, the rebellious style of the Han Dynasty as early as 2,000 years ago is also the favorite of the girls in Huaichun. How many ladies competed to give Gan Ning a monkey, and also wandered the world with her, chasing distant poems and dreams, all of which were rejected by the amorous Gan Ning. He was just a thief who stole his heart, a prodigal son who was unruly.
Gan Ning picked up a big bowl and also fought with Gao Shun for wine.
Here there was laughter and joy, and over there, Xu Yu and Zhen Yu came over to urge He Xian to hurry into the cave room, don't let Huang Yueying wait for a long time.
"It's not the two of you who entered the cave room, what are you doing in a hurry?" Wei Yan just poured half a jar of wine, stopped and took a breath of relief, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, let the lord marry the two of you directly into the door!" So as not to have two more weddings? ”
Zhen Yu was so shy that he hurriedly ran away, but Xu Yu was not afraid of him, glared at Wei Yan angrily and said, "Drink your bar!" Silly big guy! ”
"Yuan Zhi, you don't care about your sister! In the future, I will be our housewife, how can I wait for it? Wei Yan shouted heartlessly.
Xu Shu smiled and shook his head, both sad and relieved. The little fish who cried and shouted at the beginning, letting her brother protect her has grown up. She used to be the spy leader of the Nanyang Army, although she did not participate in the operation, but a lot of information came from her, and she was He Xian's henchman. The Nanyang army was respectful to him and called her Mr. Xu.
But now, she has handed over all the rights in her hands to Guo Jia, because she is ready to concentrate on being He Xian's woman. After Huang Yueying, He Xian was also ready to bring Xu Yu into the room, and the time was about half a year later. Xu Yu followed He Xian all the way from Yingchuan to Nanyang, and was already identified as a woman who was He Xian. Although she can only be a concubine, no one dares to underestimate her status in Hejiabao.
He Xian hurriedly confessed to everyone, then left the banquet and went to the newlywed cave room. Huang Yueying was dressed in a red wedding dress, wearing a red scarf on her head and sitting in front of the couch, with a wine cup, food and a shiny copper basin on the table in front of her.
"Go back and rest!" He Xian instructed the two maids beside Huang Yueying.
"Uncle can't be in a hurry, there are still some etiquette that has not been completed!" The older maid said, handing He Xian a weighing rod. The weighing rod symbolizes the dragon in the tradition, and the phoenix crown worn by the bride symbolizes the phoenix, so the meaning of the red hijab is "a dragon and a phoenix", "Luan Feng and Ming".
He Xian took the pole and said, picked up the red hijab on Huang Yueying's head, and saw that Huang Yueying's face was red, bright and lovely. For a while, he was stupid.
"The dragon and phoenix are auspicious, and the scale is wishful!" The maid sang a harmonious sentence, "Next, do the right thing!" “
He Xian and Huang Yueying stood opposite each other, with a few cases in the middle, and knelt opposite each other.
"I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated. Married as husband and wife, love will never change. “
After the maid finished singing this sentence, she brought the copper basin with clean water to the table, and asked He Xian to wipe her hands and face first, and then let He Xian Huang Yueying soak the towel to wipe her hands and face, which was a gift for Wo. The gift of wo is an expression of the solemn feelings of the couple for the wedding. It represents that at this moment, the two newlyweds are engaged in a new life with a pure and clear heart.
After the ceremony, the maid removed the copper basin and placed a plate of food in front of He Xian and Huang Yueying.
"Please join the prison salute!"
He Xian and Huang Yueying followed the guidance of the maid, and the two bowed to each other, and then ate their own food on their plates, and put it down collectively after about ten seconds. The ceremony of the same prison means that the couple eats together at the wedding and declares that they will be one family in life from now on. It symbolizes the happiness and longevity of the newlyweds, and shares the joys and sorrows.
The maid handed over a gourd divided into two, He Xian and Huang Yueying each held half of it, poured wine, drank half of each and then exchanged drinks, the two of them spliced the gourd, and Huang Yueying quickly wrapped the gourd. This is the origin of the Hop Ceremony, which later became the handover of the wine. The gourd represents many sons and many blessings. After the husband and wife drink together, may the two of them be able to share weal and woe together and support each other for a lifetime. After that, the gourd is spliced as before, and the red rope is tied. It symbolizes that the newlyweds are one husband and wife from now on and will never be separated.
The maid took the tied gourd, handed He Xian a pair of scissors tied with red silk, and handed Huang Yueying a bag. Motioning to He Xian to cut off a strand of Huang Yueying's hair, and then cut off a strand of his own hair, Huang Yueying unfolded the bag, He Xian put the two of them in turn, and then the two of them pulled the string tight.
This is a line of untie knots! It means that the husband and wife are in harmony with each other, grow old together, and become united forever.
"Hold the hand of the son, and share it with the son; Hold the hand of the son, and eat with the son; Hold the hand of the son, and return with the son; Hold the hand of the son, sleep with the son; Holding the hand of the son, and being happy with the son; Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. ”
He Xian and Huang Yueying got up and looked at each other with their hands.
"Hold the hand! The last rite of room is handed over to Madame! After guiding these rituals, the two maids smiled and withdrew from the new room.
Huang Yueying was so ashamed that she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at He Xian: "Lang Jun! Let's rest soon! ”
"Wait!" He Xian took Huang Yueying's hand and asked, "Are you hungry?" ”
Huang Yueying was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, and shook her head again: "This seems to be incompatible with etiquette?" “
"If you don't eat enough, how can you have the strength to perform the cave room ceremony?" He Xian smiled, pulled Huang Yueying to sit down again, took the food on the table, picked up the vegetables and meat with chopsticks and sent it to Huang Yueying's mouth, and fed her one by one. After all, Huang Yueying is different from those ordinary women, she did not refuse He Xian's violation of etiquette, and her eyes were full of happy little stars. After feeding Huang Yueying, He Xian took a leg of mutton and devoured it.
Huang Yueying grabbed He Xian's arm with one hand, leaned her head on Zhang Xiu's body, stroked He Xian's back with the other, and whispered, "Husband, eat slowly." ”
In this way, He Xian ate for another half an hour before filling his stomach. As soon as he put down eating, he felt that Huang Yueying's whole body was leaning on him, obviously too hungry to notice. He Xian hugged Huang Yueying, and then put his face in front of Huang Yueying's exotic face, and said softly: "I didn't expect that I, He Xian, could marry a beauty like Yueying, it's really like a dream." ”
When Huang Yueying heard this, her face became even more ruddy, and she murmured: "Yueying can marry her husband, which is also the greatest happiness in life." ”
He Xian heard this, picked up Huang Yueying with both hands, and strode towards the bed. When Huang Yueying saw it, she naturally knew what He Xian was going to do, and said softly: "Please have mercy on you." ”
