Chapter 26: The Voice of the Thirty-Six Strategies (2)
"Eight people carry the sedan chair, and the girl is happy. Thousands of miles through the city and off-road, I still have the strength to worship heaven and earth,"
When they learned that Guan Yong led the Jucheng army to leave Jucheng, Zhao Jie and his party were excited, and everyone clearly knew that this meant that Gao Le's strategy had initially succeeded. Human beings can be said to be the laziest creatures on the earth to a certain extent, and when there is a wise person who can lead in this group, everyone will unconsciously accept its leadership, and do not use their brains to do things. This is also why there is a distinction between elites and commoners in society, and in the final analysis, it is caused by human inertia. Inertia is one of the innate human nature of human beings, and if inertia is not eliminated, the elite will exist one day, and the class division derived from the distinction between the elite and the common people will not be extinguished one day. Zhao Jie, Xu Yang and others naturally had inert blood flowing in their bodies, so everyone looked at Gao Le and made up a limerick poem from the others, which is the poem at the beginning of this chapter.
After everyone understood, they went to prepare, and after buying the sedan chair, inviting the band, and preparing all the things needed for marriage, everyone found that the bride and groom had not yet been chosen, and everyone was stunned, and no one volunteered.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Jie also pretended to be stunned, but his heart was always active, and he said from time to time: "Why is it so quiet, no one takes the initiative to ask for it?" Are you calculating me and waiting for me to come forward? In fact, Zhao Jie blamed everyone, in the Warring States Period, wedding was an extremely important activity in a person's life, and only once in a person's life, and only a real wife had such treatment, so both men and women, everyone cherished it, which is why there were not many cases of using weddings to scam the city until the Warring States Period.
Just when everyone was silent, a crisp female voice broke the silence of the audience, "I'll be the bride!" ”。 Zhao Jie turned his head and found that it was the sound made by the star instrument. When I turned my head to look back, I saw that all the men were looking at me.
"Alright! I am the groom. Zhao Jie reluctantly agreed. Immediately afterwards, the commander of the internal guard told Zhao Jie about the detailed ancient wedding.
At this time, the wedding ceremony is called the dusk ceremony, which means that it is held at dusk. The complete wedding customs are in the six ceremonies of Nacai, asking for names, najib, nazheng, inviting dates, and welcoming in person.
Nacai, the first of the six rites. If the man wants to marry the woman, he asks the matchmaker to propose to the woman, and after getting the promise, he asks the matchmaker to formally accept the "gift of choice" to the woman's family. "Rites and Rituals" contains: "Faint ceremony, down to Nacai." With geese. "If you want to marry him, you must first make the matchmaker, and then make the woman accept, and then make people accept it.
Asking for a name, the second of the six salutes. The man sent a matchmaker to the woman's house to ask for the woman's name and birthday. After retrieving the Geng sticker, Bu Ji is eight characters. "Etiquette and Ceremony": "Bin Zhiyan, please ask the name; The host Xu and the guest are instructed. "Whoever asks for the name will be rewarded with good fortune.
Najib, the third of the six rites. After the man asks for his name and joins the eight characters, he notifies the woman of the auspicious sign of the marriage, and gives a gift to express the etiquette of the engagement. "Fortune in the temple, auspicious signs, the messenger to tell you, the marriage is decided."
Na Zheng, the fourth of the six rites. Also known as "Nacheng". That is, the man's family Najib sends a dowry gift to the woman's family. "Those who recruit will also be hired for money. Levy, success. Marry first, and then get married. ”
Please period, the fifth of the six rites. The male family chooses the best date for marriage, writes the male and female sheng geng (invitation ceremony) on red paper, and the matchmaker takes it to the woman's house, and discusses the date of marriage with the female owner. "Etiquette and Ceremony": "Please use the goose, the host resigns, the guest promises the period, and the ceremony is accepted." ”
Welcome, the sixth of the six rites. A ceremony for the bride to be married by the bride at the woman's house. After the man notifies the woman of the wedding date, the groom personally greets the bride at the woman's house on the wedding day. "The Book of Songs, Daya, Daming": "Dabang has a son, the sister of heaven, the woman is set in Que Xiang, and she welcomes Yu Wei." ”
On this trip, Zhao Jie and others took advantage of the gift of welcoming in the six rites. The welcome gift is the climax of the wedding, the most can win the sympathy of the soldiers and easy to release, avoid careful inspection, after all, who does not get married, most traitors think that destroying other people's weddings is an act of sin, which will affect their own marriage, on the contrary, it will be festive and blessed, why not.
"Your Highness, there are a few things that you must remember and not forget. The first is your identity, so please remember that from the beginning of this door, your name has become Sharp, the ancestral land is in a small village and town in the southeast of Jucheng, the ancestor is a nobleman of Ju State, who has been a layman for many years, and now he is back in fine clothes, and your wife is the daughter of a rich family outside Linzi City, and you are in love, so you are your wife, you have come all the way from Linzi,"
Just when the commander of the internal guard commanded, the star in the inner room had also been dressing up.
"Sister Yi, you look so good in this wedding dress."
A few friends behind Xingyi who accompanied him day and night were envious.
"Go, go, go, get out of here, the bride's room is not allowed to be loud." Xingyi's best friend, Tianjin, walked in at this moment.
Seeing a few noisy girls walking out of the room, Tianjin sighed and said, "I don't know what you think, reputation is the most important thing for our girls, why did you come forward?" ”
"Actually, I don't know my own heart, I have learned a lot from His Highness over the years, and I even know about men and women. It is impossible to be with His Highness for so long and say that he has no feelings for him, but I can't tell whether this relationship is the love of men and women, or the love of brothers and sisters. I guess the same is true of His Highness. But no matter what, if it weren't for His Highness saving me, I would have died a long time ago, as long as I could help His Highness, I could do anything, what is my reputation. ”
Tianjin didn't say anything, just a long sigh.

At dusk, the sun converges its blinding light and turns into a golden disc. The cloudless sky, blue, like a clear lake. Slowly, the color became more and more intense, like a lake deepening. The majestic mountains in the distance, painted with a layer of golden yellow under the reflection of the setting sun, look particularly magnificent.
Zhao Jie was wearing a Jue Benxuan dress, with a jade on his waist, riding a horse in front, Xu Yang followed closely as a witness, and the guards were either guards, or grooms, and the maids all pretended to be dowry, and followed the car slowly.
"Who are you, do you want to cross the city? Stop if you want. Zhao Jie's horse was stopped by a soldier.
"Are you the one in charge here? Call your principal, you don't have the right to ask me. Zhao Jie said proudly.
After a while, Zhao Jie saw the person in charge from a distance, he jumped off the horse, stepped forward quickly, and without waiting for the person to reflect, hugged him, and said with a smile: "Brother, I didn't expect to see you again in my lifetime, I'm so excited, let me hug again." ”
"Do we know this gentleman?"
"What, you forgot about me, you really make me so sad." Zhao Jie suddenly said sadly: "The two of us have always been sworn friends when we were children, and we have "done no evil" in our village, what do you call that, or something?" Hey, I forgot. ”
The main person looked at Zhao Jie, as if he was eager for Zhao Jie to remember his name.
"You call Guan ......, Guan ......" Zhao Jie didn't know him at all, so he could only continue to stutter.
"Guan Zheng, my name is Guan Zheng." The person in charge couldn't wait any longer and reported that he was famous.
"I also remembered, Guan Zheng, Guan Zheng." Zhao Jie said suddenly. "Brother Guan, how is the village where we used to live?" Zhao Jie continued to set closer.
"Do you mean that town southeast of Jucheng? I haven't been back there for a long time, and I live in Jucheng now. ”
"I see. Oh, I remembered, I recently said that I was married, this is a please post, and I must come then! ”
"Certainly, definitely, I don't know where to get married!" Guan Zheng asked.
"Over the years, I have made a little money by running around, and now I eat and drink spicy food, so I naturally return to my hometown and worship my ancestors."
"Brother Pu, who are you talking to!" Xingyi took advantage of the situation to bring the relationship closer.
"It's a friend of mine from my youth, you come out to see me."
Xingyi lifted the curtain of the car, and she was beautiful in a wedding dress, which made Zhao Jie, who was often with him, stunned, let alone straightened out.
"Uncle, I'll give you a drink." After a while, Xingyi brought a glass of wine and handed it to Guan Zheng. Guan Zheng stretched out his hand sluggishly, accidentally touched Xingyi's hand, and then retracted his hand like an electric shock, and he was completely conscious.
He took the wine glass and drank it all, and then said to Zhao Jie: "See you in the future." ”
The pawn behind him reminded: "My lord, the higher authorities want us to strictly check all the people crossing the border, so do these people want to check?" ”
"What do you say?" Guan Zheng did not answer positively. The punctuated pawn left behind.
"These people are friends of adults, and they are definitely not the ones to be arrested, so let's not check." The pawn made up his own brain.
"You guys get through the card, hurry up, don't block the road." Pawn Road.
Zhao Jie and his entourage didn't think it was so simple, and hurriedly passed the pass.
