(Today I will present you with an original Han-style wedding, I hope you don't like it, don't spray) the fourth year of the Han Jian'an, that is, the tenth day of June 199, the whole Xiangyang City is filled with a joyful atmosphere, and the lights are everywhere, because this day is the wedding day of Liu Qi, the eldest son of General Zhennan, Jingzhou Mu, and Liu Biao, the Marquis of Chengwu, and the father and son are in charge of the two states, such an example is really unique in the Han Dynasty at that time, and like Liu Qi, who was less than 20 years old, sat on the capital governor Jingnan, Yangzhou Zhujun, Pingdong general, Linxiang Marquis, The position of Yangzhou Assassin is something that has never been done before.

At sunset, Liu Qi came to the ancestral temple to hold a ceremony to tell the temple, and made it clear to the ancestors that the matter of marrying a woman was because of the Xuanxiang sky.

After suing the temple, Liu Qi went to the main hall of the official office to report to his father Liu Biaoyu about welcoming him.

This is the first ritual procedure of the personal welcome, called Jiaozi ceremony.

Liu Biao ordered someone to take out the wine jug, personally poured a glass of wine for Liu Qi, and said: "Mandarin ducks are flying, and Bi Zhiluo is good." A gentleman for ten thousand years, Fu Lu should be.

The mandarin duck is on the beam, and the left flank is on the left. A gentleman for ten thousand years, it is advisable to be blessed. Riding a horse in the stable, destroying it, a gentleman for ten thousand years, and Fu Lu Ai.

Riding a horse in the stable, the destruction of the straw, the gentleman for ten thousand years, and the blessing of the discouraged. ”

These poems come from, using pairs of mandarin ducks to praise the talents and women of both men and women, love and loyalty, and wish them a rich and happy life.

After that, Liu Biaojiao said: "Go to Ying'er Xiang and inherit my sect." Handsome and respectful, the heir of the ancestors. "It means that go and greet your inner help, and inherit the affairs of my family's temple. Strive to guide her, respect the woman's way, and inherit the ancestors. You must always be like this, and do not slack off.

Liu Qi replied respectfully, "No." I am afraid of Fukan, and I dare not forget my life. After that, he respectfully took the wine glass, raised it above his head, drank it all, and bowed to Liu Biao four times, and then left the house when Liu Biao left.

Next, it's time to go to Kuai Ruyu's house to marry, Liu Qi wears a knight's head, wears a Xuanyi robe, a silk robe, and takes an ink car, from Liu Shi, Zhang Tong, Huang Zhong, Pei Qian, Yu Turn, Wang Cang and others are all dressed in black dresses "Xuanduan", and take two carriages, all the way to Kuailiang's mansion, and in front of the carriage, there are servants holding lamps and candles in front of the lighting.

Just when Liu Qi's carriage came to a corner in front of him, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air.

"Sure enough, someone dares to plot against my general." Zhang Tong and Liu Shi, the second generals in charge of the Su Guard Army, had already been on guard, and with an angry reprimand, his mouth came out, and he quickly took out the shield that had been prepared and blocked it in front of Liu Qi, only to hear a dense impact sound of ding ding dong, and then saw more than a dozen feather arrows falling diagonally next to the carriage.

Almost at the same time, Huang Zhong took out his iron tire bow, took out five or six feather arrows in his hand at the same time, and shot them at the dark, only to see the arrows go like meteors, and soon heard a few muffled snorts from the dark places around the corner.

The pro-soldiers around Liu Qi immediately divided more than a dozen people to go to the dark place in front, but found that they were already empty, leaving only a dark red bloodstain.

Liu Qi's face was neither sad nor joyful, and he waved his hand and ordered the carriage to move on.

Although he was silent on the surface, Liu Qi had already written down this account in his heart, and he knew that it was either Cai Mao or Liu Cong who came to assassinate him this time, and the two of them were the same dog.

"Hmph, damn dog, dare to use swords and soldiers at the time of my wedding, if I Liu Qi don't take revenge in the future, I will be in vain."

After Huang Zhong, Liu Shi and others packed up this qiē, they jumped into the carriage and continued to move forward, and after a short time, they came to the outside of Kuailiang Mansion.

Since Kuai Liang has passed away, the woman's parent who participated in the welcoming ceremony on behalf of Kuai Liang is Kuai Yue, the chief secretary of Jingzhou.

Kuai Yue was wearing a dark color dress and stood respectfully outside the mansion to welcome Liu Qi's arrival.

Seeing Liu Qi coming, Kuai Yue bowed twice to the west and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Qi faced east and replied: "My son ordered a certain general, so that a certain general, please accept the order." "It means that according to my father's command, the wedding will be held at dusk today, and I will be sent to the next to marry, and I ask for permission.

Kuai Yue shook at Liu Qi and said, "A certain solid respectful mustache." It means that my daughter is ready to wait here.

After that, Kuai Yue was the first to walk into the house, and Liu Qi followed the door with a live goose in his hand.

Came to the door of the Kuai Yue family temple, the two of them shook each other again, and after three salutes, they finally reached the front of the lower hall.

After another resignation, Kuai Yue went to the hall and sat down facing west, while Liu Qi sat down facing north, and then gently put the goose on the ground, bowed twice, kowtowed to the ground, and then went out of the hall.

Kuai Yue did not go down to the hall to send each other, but to feast on Kuai Ruyu, after the banquet, he sent Kuai Ruyu out, wishing: "Respect for the precepts, do not disobey the order at night." ”

Mother Pang Shi Jin knotted, that is, knotted the colorful silk rope and scarf to Kuai Ruyu, and wished: "Reluctant to respect, there is no violation of the palace at night!" It means that you are diligent and prudent, and you will not disobey your husband's orders in the affairs of the family, from morning to night.

Next, I saw that my mothers, Zhou and Wang, also admonished: "Listen respectfully, the words of Zong'er's parents are sleepless all night." Look at all the sins! It means that you listen respectfully to us, obey the words of your parents, and do not make mistakes from morning till night. When you look at your parents' gifts, you will be reminded of their teachings.

After that, Kuai Yue sent Kuai Ruyu to the outside of the mansion and handed it over to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi personally drove the carriage of Kuai Ruyu, and couldn't help but be very excited when he saw the jade people in pure clothes and clothes.

Kuai Ruyu also hadn't seen Liu Qi for several months, and she couldn't hide the lovesickness in her eyes, and the two looked at each other, and it was difficult to remove them for a while.

Liu Qi handed over the lead rope "Sui" to the female teacher (the woman hosted) Kuai Xia, but Kuai Xia refused: "Untaught, not enough and courtesy." "Meaning, we didn't teach her well, and we didn't dare to accept this big gift.

Then he saw Kuai Xia help Kuai Ruyu into the carriage, and knotted the windbreaker "Jing" that covered the wind and dust for Kuai Ruyu, so he instructed Liu Qi to set off.

Liu Qi then drove the carriage around three times with excitement, and then reluctantly handed over the carriage to the coachman, and he still sat in the carriage in front.

This time, Liu Shi had already ordered his own soldiers to open the way in front of them, and drove all the idle people and others away, to ensure that the road was safe and sound, if there were any more assassins, even if they could not hurt the newcomer, even if they frightened the new lady, it would be their great sin.

It didn't take long for Liu Qi to come to the outside of the governor's mansion, he got out of the carriage, waited quietly outside the mansion, and when Kuai Ruyu arrived, he was introduced into the mansion. It was only at this point that the greeting was over.

It is said that Liu Qi saw Kuai Ruyu outside the Jingzhou Mu Mansion and stepped off a few times. He waved at her and invited her to come in.

In front of the dormitory, the new Liu Qi waved at Kuai Ruyu again and asked her to enter.

At this moment, the praiser Song Zhen removed the scarf on the wine statue, took the Xuanjiu (that is, the water used as wine) with a spoon and poured it into the statue three times, then poured the remaining water between the two steps of the hall, and placed the spoon on the statue.

Liu Qi led Kuai Ruyu from the west steps to the hall and came to the bathroom, and then the baptism was done.

The so-called baptism refers to the newlyweds' hands and faces, one is to remove the filth and bad luck, and the other is because they should clean their hands before eating, that is, they must wash their hands before the next prison ceremony begins.

I saw the praiser Song Zhen praised: "Perform baptism." ”

Liu Qi's maid Chunxiang came to the left side, saluted Kuai Ruyu, and then scooped out the water from the basket to help the Kuai Ruyu wash, and scooped out the water from the wash to help the Kuai Ruyu wash again.

And Tianxiang, the concubine of Kuai Ruyu, came to the right side, shook Liu Qi, and then scooped out the water from the basket to help Liu Qi wash, and scooped out the water from the wash, and helped Liu Qi wash again.

After the washing, Liu Qi and Kuai Ruyu thanked the praiser Song Zhenyi, Song Zhen returned the salute, and the baptism was over.

Then Song Zhen praised again: "Please invite the newcomers to the table." ”

At this time, a feast had already been set up in the southwest corner of the room. Liu Qi and Kuai Ruyu entered the room and sat down, Liu Qi's position was in the east of Jiuzun, facing north and standing, and Kuai Ruyu's position was in the west of Jiuzun, facing south.

Liu Qi waved to Kuai Ruyu, asked Kuai Ruyu to sit first, and after Kuai Ruyu returned the courtesy, he also sat at the same time, and the positions of the two were one east and one west, sitting opposite each other. The royal Chunxiang also sat next to Liu Qi, and the concubine Tianxiang sat next to Kuai Ruyu.

Song Zhen saw the two of them at the table, and praised: "Eat." Then he saw the two deacons, and they took out the wine and food from both sides, and laid out the soy sauce, pickles, meat sauce, pig, fish, rabbit, rice, meat soup, and other things.

Song praised sincerely: Perform a sacrificial ceremony.

I saw Tianxiang and Chunxiang successively holding millet and millet rice to Kuai Ruyu and Liu Qi, and the two successively sandwiched small rice and yellow rice to sacrifice rice.

Tianxiang and Chunxiang are sandwiched into the lungs into the dishes of the two, and then the millet rice is held in front of the newcomer, and the newcomers eat the rice, and the acquired fragrance and the spring fragrance hold the meat soup, and the two drink; After that, Liu Qi and the others sacrificed their lungs and ate their lungs. The first sacrifice is completed.

After that, there are three more rice festivals, and the rice festival is over.

After the rice festival, the next step is the sake festival.

The praiser Song Zhen gestured to make Yu Chunxiang and Mei Tianxiang leave. After that, he praised: "Eat the wine." ”

Then he saw the two deacons eating wine and food, and each of them carried a wine jug and a wine glass, and as for the table, he poured a jug of wine for each of them.

Liu Qi bowed to Kuai Ruyu, handed the wine to Kuai Ruyu, returned the salute with his head, and took the wine glass. The deacon stepped back.

Song Zhen said again: "The newcomer sacrifices wine." ”

I saw that Chunxiang took the lungs to Liu Qi first, Liu Qi took the lungs, dipped them in salt and vibrated the sacrifice, and then took the lungs and ate them. Tianxiang knees to the bride, and the lungs are also taken in front of the jade, and the jade is also taken from the lungs, dipped in salt and sacrificed. Seeing that Kuai Ruyu's lung sacrifice was completed, Liu Qi took wine and drank with Kuai Ruyu.

After that, the two thanked Song Zhen, and Song Zhen returned the salute.

Soon after, Song Zhen praised again: "Drink again." ”

The two of them repeated the same actions that had been taken out of the lungs.

After that, Song Zhen praised again: "Enter." ”

Next is the well-known drinking of alcohol.

Then he saw a deacon on his hand and poured wine.

The so-called gourd, in fact, refers to the gourd cut in half, the newcomer respectively with half of the drink, respectively, respectively, the two halves of the gourd into a vessel, so called "together". It is bitter, and it must be bitter when it is used to hold wine. Drinking this wine together not only symbolizes the wedding ceremony to unite the husband and wife, but also contains the deep meaning of allowing the bride and groom to share weal and woe.

Song Zhen washed the jue, poured wine in the outdoor respect, entered the door, faced the northwest, placed the lord on the ground, and bowed to the two. Liu Qi and Kuai Ruyu both bowed.

Song Zhen sat on the ground to sacrifice wine and bowed twice. Liu Qi and Kuai Ruyu both bowed.

Then Liu Qi stood up and left the room, and Kuai Ruyu returned to his original position. The ceremony ends.
