Chapter 112: The Big Wedding
He relaxed but others were not easy, for the prince's marriage, they could almost break their legs, but they didn't complain, on the contrary, they felt Guan Rong.
At this time in the Gao family, Tao Gu handed over a piece of things the size of a fold to Gao Huaide:
"Lord Gao, this is the prince's birthday, you have to put it away."
This similar thing is the writing of Zhao Xu's birthday, which is called Najib. According to the weekly rite, Najib is the man's parents who give their son's birthday to the matchmaker to bring to the woman, which is "too big a post", "exchange of books", also known as "Tongshu", in fact, a bit of an engagement.
They have been engaged a long time ago, and now they are only doing this according to etiquette, you must know that the Song Dynasty still attaches great importance to such etiquette, even the emperor is not exempt from vulgarity.
Gao Huaide took a symbolic look at it, and said that it was good, he knew what the birth date was, but can the prince's life be bad, just say it is good.
Tao Gu is also simply, directly ordered people to bring up the bride price, this is to prepare to discuss the marriage date, the levy refers to here, this is the most tangible thing, but these bride prices are also symbolic, no matter what is given, the woman's family is very happy.
However, the bride price of the crown prince's marriage will naturally not be casual, and all kinds of jewelry are needless to say.
The strange thing is that the people in the palace also carried a large wine bottle containing a little wine, containing eight large flowers and eight craft ornaments, tied to the burden with a bonus, and also sent here.
Gao Huaide was stunned, he knew these things, but he didn't understand why there was such a thing, but fortunately, the old woman who took care of Gao Qiong knew, after all, she was an old man, and he still knew some customs.
Under the guidance of the old woman, the descendants of the Gao family prepared, two bottles of fresh water, three or five live fish, and a pair of chopsticks, which were put into the large wine bottle sent, which is often called "back to fish chopsticks".
"Back to the fish chopsticks" is a symbolic thing, the fish chopsticks are a happy homonym, is used to express the woman's family satisfaction with the marriage. This is also very important, because it means that everything has been decided, and finally it is time to welcome the family.
"Xu'er, why are you teasing Zhao'er here again, you don't have to prepare for the fact that you are going to get married tomorrow, and you are still like a child." He walked over.
Zhao Xu hugged his second brother, and the next guy had already grown a few teeth, and he was very chubby and cute:
"It's your child when you get married, I'll always be a child in your eyes." Originally, this should have been said by her behind the scenes, but I didn't expect him to say it.
"You, it's better to prepare that you will personally greet Gui Ying tomorrow, you don't need to ask about other things, that young lady of the Fu family can't let you go to greet Gui Ying in person, she is a side concubine after all. But if you put your mind to it, I'll do it in a beautiful way. ”
Reaching out to take over his second son, He said to Zhao Xu.
"By the way, you don't want to see Ling'er today, you can't meet before you get married, you know?"
Zhao Xu scratched his head, there is still this rule, he definitely doesn't believe it, He also saw his son's expression, and he also knew that he might not believe it, and instructed:
"Anyway, you just don't want to go, this is the old rule, no matter how you say it, you have to abide by it, don't you have an auspicious appearance, you know?"
Sometimes it is also a kind of happiness to hear the nagging of relatives, Zhao Xu's face showed a happy look, but he thought of one more thing;
"Mother, then why did I go to Gui Ying's house to deliver something to Gui Ying's house just now, what is he, and what will he give when they are married tomorrow?"
Just now Zhao Xu saw that Tao Gu led a lot of people to go to Gaofu with a lot of things, and the posture was also quite grand, and it seemed that Lao Tao had not been affected less in the past two days.
When He heard his son ask, he couldn't help but smile, although his son was nineteen years old, he was still a child:
"You, of course they went to send Gui Ying a phoenix crown and xia veil, otherwise what will she wear when she gets on the sedan chair tomorrow."
No, I used to always see these things on TV, aren't they all prepared at the woman's home, and when I want the man's home to prepare, I really don't know.
"And Gui Ying's family is giving you the groom's official hat and clothes to wear when you go to greet your relatives tomorrow, you must not know this."
"By the way, the Gao family will send someone to tidy up the new house for you later, and you will take a look later, and I will take Zhao'er to the harem first to see how Ling'er is prepared."
Zhao Xu still knows about this new house, this is the so-called shop, the shop is that in ancient times, the night before the marriage ceremony, the woman's family sent women to the man's house to help arrange the marriage hole, or the man's family appointed women to arrange the hole.
Since the main content of the bunk room is to arrange the bed and bedding, it is often called a bed. There is also a lot of attention to be paid to this bed.
First of all, it is advisable to invite "blessed" older women who are married to each other, have prosperous children and grandchildren, or have wealthy families. Of course, if it is the bride or groom's sister-in-law or brother-in-law. That's for the best.
In fact, the best thing is that they have both children and daughters, which is the blessing of both children for the newlyweds.
Of course, when making the bed, you have to say some auspicious words when making the room, which is exactly what kind of marriage, early birth of a noble son and the like, but there are also some exquisite poems and eulogies to be recited.
Making a bed is not just a simple bed, but also to place the position of the bed correctly, the only thing to pay attention to is that the bed should be close to the gable, and the bed is very stable against this wall. It symbolizes that the bride and groom will have a stable life and a backer in the future.
Just when Zhao Xu was about to go out for a walk, Miao Xun came over, and Zhao Xu hadn't seen him for a long time, because Miao Xun was now the prince washing horses.
The prince washes the horse, this is the "first horse". , for the official subordinate of the prince of the East Palace, according to the literal meaning, the prince is the forerunner. It can be said that he is the prince's henchman, he was reluctant at the beginning, and in the end Zhao Xu insisted on him to serve as him, but there was no way this time.
However, he also helped Zhao Xu take care of Fengying's affairs, and Liu Hongqing didn't have anything to do with them, because they were all trained by Miao Xun that day.
"Prince, I have something important to report to you, this Li Chongjin is going to rebel, this is the news from Zhai Shouxun."
This Li Chongjin rebelled when I got married, and you are looking for death, but you can't let him disturb my big day.
"Mr. Miao, you go and let that Liu Hongqing check it, and let Dong Xuanye's Jinyi Wei also transfer a part of it to the periphery of Yangzhou, so that no one can find anything, I must personally kill Li Chongjin."
"Yes, by the way, a group of ladies came to the Prince's Gao Mansion and said that they came to the Prince's East Palace to prepare for your wedding, do you want to go back and take a look." Miao Xun asked.
"Well, Mr. Miao, you go first, I'll go first to see what is going on with them." When Zhao Xu returned to the palace, he heard some festive sounds coming from inside the room where he was preparing to get married.
One shop gold, two shop silver, and the unicorn sends the child to the door. The three-made bed is the peach and plum garden, the loving husband and wife for a hundred years, the four bunks are spread with four seasons of wealth, and the gold and silver treasures are rolling.
Five shops, six shops are rich, seven shops and eight shops pile up the treasury, nine shops are paved with big ingots, and ten shops are really complete, and they also give birth to girls and boys. The one who gives birth to a girl is the mother, and the one who gives birth to a man is the champion.
New blankets, eiderdown quilts, the two of them sleep together, and next year they will have a couple in their lives, and a man and a woman will sing in unison. The bed is made so well, a pair of boys can't run, and the bed is so complete, and the glory and wealth will last forever.
Hearing this, Zhao Xu heard someone talking inside:
"Just now we said that the one who gives birth to a girl is a mother, and the one who gives birth to a man is the champion reads;. That's not right. ”
"What's wrong with her aunt, isn't it the same old saying?"
"That's it, I've been talking about it for so many years, and that's what you said when you got married."
"I mean, my Gui Ying wants to be the crown princess, and she will be the queen in the future, and the son she gave birth to will be the prince and the princess, and the daughter will be the princess, so I said we were wrong."
As soon as she said this, everyone reacted, the place where they are now is the palace, this is the prince's palace, and what they said is indeed a little wrong. Just then the prince walked in.
As soon as everyone saw the prince coming in, they immediately saluted, Zhao Xu immediately asked them not to be polite, Zhao Xu saw that there was Gao Huailiang's wife inside, Gao Guiying's aunt, Gao Huailiang actually gave birth to a pair of twins last year, and it was right to call her here.
Seeing that everyone came here to make a room for himself so wholeheartedly, Zhao Xu couldn't be stingy, and immediately rewarded everyone present.
The next day, before dawn, Zhao Xu was called up by the little eunuch outside, saying that the emperor and queen were coming. Zhao Xu hurriedly got up and freshened up.
When he came to the front hall, where Zhao Kuangyin and He were waiting for him, as soon as he saw Zhao Xu coming, He waved his hand, and a few eunuchs and maids came over with a few plates, on which the groom's clothes were placed.
Before Zhao Xu could react, he was put on a top hat, and the most awkward thing for Zhao Xu was that there were two golden flowers on the hat.
He was dressed in a new garment, a long red veil that ran diagonally down his right shoulder, up to his left rib and then around his waist.
A beautiful and handsome young man appeared in front of everyone, not to mention that Zhao Xu really looked even more handsome in this groom's dress. No wonder people often say that getting married is the happiest and most beautiful moment for a person.
This is not only about girls, but also about men, and even He is very satisfied with his son.
Of course, Zhao Xu can't go alone, and some important ministers of the court accompany him, none of the six Shangshu of the prime minister pulled down and all of them went to accompany him, they all went to play soy sauce to show the grandeur of this wedding.
