When Wei Yan decided to hold a wedding according to the etiquette of this era, he found that getting married was so troublesome, and it was too cumbersome compared to the usual Chinese and Western weddings before the time. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

From the proposal to the completion of the marriage, there are a total of six etiquette ceremonies to go, namely Nacai, Asking for Names, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, Invitation, and Greeting.

These six etiquettes all need to go back and forth between the Huang family and the Wei family, and from Huangjiazhuang in Xiangyang, Nanjun to Yiyang New Town, Nanyang County, there are more than 400 miles apart, and it is now July and August.

Those ceremonies can be held in Yiyang New Town, saving a lot of time and trouble.

A few months ago, Wei Yan and Huang Yueying met and fell in love, Deng Zhi and Li Yan were witnesses, Li Yan had to handle the wedding, and Deng Zhi handed over the affairs of Pingchun to Liao Hua for the time being, and he returned from Pingchun as a matchmaker (matchmakers were generally men in the Eastern Han Dynasty), running between the Huang family's new house and the Wei family.

The first step is to accept the lottery. The Wei family wanted to marry the Huang family, so they asked the matchmaker Deng Zhi to go to the Huang family to propose marriage, and after getting Huang Chengyan's consent, they asked the matchmaker Deng Zhi to officially choose the gift to the Huang family.

The second step is to ask for a name. The Wei family sent matchmaker Deng Zhi to Huang's house to ask Huang Shuo and Huang Yueying's name and birthday, and after Deng Zhi asked Huang Yueying's birthday back, he sent the majestic birthday to the Huang family.

During this period, there was no such Mr. Yin and Yang in later generations, so the Wei family and the Huang family went their separate ways, asking the ghosts and gods to see if the eight characters of the two sides were compatible.

This step is just a formality, the combination of Wei Yan and Huang Yueying, in addition to the two of them agreeing, also has the meaning of reconciliation between Wei Yan and the Jingzhou Shi clan, as well as Liu Biao and Cai Mao's intention to paralyze Wei Yan, in short, there is a political marriage.

The third step, Najib, after the Wei family asks for the name and combines the eight characters, notifies the Huang family of the auspicious omen of the marriage, and gives a gift to express that he wants to get engaged.

The fourth step, the levy, which is commonly known as the bride price, the Wei family can only pay the levy after Najib learns that the Huang family is married, and the levy does not need geese. Wei Yan gave ten pearls, ten pieces of jade, and a thousand pieces of silk satin as a dowry.

The fifth step, the invitation period, also known as the notice period, is commonly known as the selection date.

Wei Yan sent matchmaker Deng Zhi to the woman's house to ask for a date, send a wild goose gift, and then give a speech, explaining the marriage date, Huang Chengyan accepted, Deng Zhi returned to his life, and the wedding date was set on the eighth day of August of this year.

The sixth step is to greet in person, also known as greeting, and ask the groom Wei Yan to personally marry the bride Huang Yueying and go home.

A few days ago, Wei Yan saw the wedding dress prepared for himself and was very disappointed. The Han Dynasty was Huode, and Huode was still red, but the red of Huode was not the popular red in later generations, but a dark red that turned black, like a dull bloodstain.

Wei Yan didn't like the bridegroom's robe of this color very much, and ordered people to make a festive red.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, Wei Yan put on a bright red wedding robe, put on a big red flower on his chest, drank the wine given to him by the elders of the clan, and after drinking it all, he set off to marry his bride Huang Yueying.

In order to show his importance to Huang Yueying, Wei Yan specially asked the black horse to help pull the carriage, and the white horse that Wei Yan gave to Wen Ping before, as well as the shadow horse that Cao Cao used to exchange for Xiahou Yuan.

In that life, the battle of Shuishui, Cao Cao was caught off guard by Zhang Xiu, almost killed, and escaped by relying on the Absolute Shadow, which is said to be the Great Wan Liang Horse, and was hit by three arrows and could still gallop hard, and the speed was extremely fast (the name of the Absolute Shadow is because of its fast speed, which means that even the shadow of its speed can not keep up), and finally fell down after being shot in the eye by a stray arrow.

The black horse, the shadow horse, the white bird horse, the three world-famous BMWs, dragging the carriage forward, are magnificent, and can be regarded as an unprecedented feat.

Thousands of people cheered and cheered to welcome the happy event of the lord Wei Yan, who married a wife and would have children, and their common cause would be inherited, and they would have a greater sense of belonging to the land given to them by Wei Yan.

Wei Yan first worshiped his ancestors and parents in the ancestral hall of the Wei family, especially in front of the parents' tablet, and said: "Father, mother, the child Wei Yan today for the Wei family to marry Huang Yueying, the eldest daughter of the Huang family in Baishui, Nannan, for the Wei family, to spread the branches and leaves, continue the incense, I hope that the spirit of the two elders in the sky can bless the child with a happy marriage." ”

Walking out of the family temple, Wei Yan drove the troika of black horses, shadowless horses, and white bird horses to the Huang family's house in Yiyang New Town.

During this period, all the princes and families raised dead soldiers to assassinate their opponents, Wei Yan personally drove the car, unarmed, Chen Zhi and Wen Yang led two hundred elite soldiers to pretend to be a welcoming team, closely escorting the left and right.

At the same time, because Li Yan was in charge of the wedding, Wen Ping took over the defense of Yiyang New City to ensure the normal progress of Wei Yan and Huang Yueying's wedding.

Huang Chengyan personally greeted the groom Wei Yan outside the door, and Wei Yan made a gift with geese and gave each other a court.

Wei Yan walked to the gate of the Huang family's inner house, where Huang Yueying, supported by the four maids, was already waiting there.

One of the maids, about ten years old, has delicate eyebrows, deceitful skin, and is a beautiful embryo, who is Xiahou Yuan's niece Xiahou Juan.

At this time, Xiahou looked at Wei Yan with a hint of curiosity and hatred in his big eyes, and then looked at Huang Yueying with a hint of envy.

I saw Huang Yueying wearing a phoenix crown on her head, wearing a xia veil, hanging on her hair, a jade python robe, a flower-pleated skirt, and red embroidered shoes, full of festivity.

In this era, there is no red hijab, and Huang Yueying has been shyly lowering her head.

Wei Yan noticed that Huang Yueying's face had been finely modified, her golden hair was coiled up, her originally somewhat dark complexion had become a lot fairer, her skin was crystal clear, her curved willow eyebrows, her big blue eyes, her tall nose bridge, her red lips, and her eyebrows were picturesque.

Wei Yan stepped forward to hold Huang Yueying's little hand and helped Huang Yueying to get into the carriage.

When Huang Yueying got into the car, Wei Yan personally handed Huang Yueying the red rope used to get on the car in accordance with etiquette and took care of her getting into the car.

The four maids also got into the carriage and took care of Huang Yueying.

Wei Yan personally drove the carriage and let the carriage circle around the Huang family three times before driving to the Wei family.

When he arrived at the door of the house, Wei Yan got out of the car first, helped Huang Yueying get out of the car, and then took Huang Yueying's hand and walked home.

Under the guidance of Li Yan and others, who are familiar with etiquette, the wedding scene in the Wei Mansion was arranged, and all the relevant items and personnel were in place.

When Wei Yan led Huang Yueying to the lobby of the Wei Mansion, the wedding ceremony officially began.

Wang Can, who is familiar with etiquette, is in charge of the ceremony, he first walked to the incense table and stood up, someone next to him handed three incense sticks, Wang Cang 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!
