Then the bridesmaid presented four purple gold bowls, the bottom of which was tied with concentric knots of red and green silk threads - this is the newlyweds' ceremony, that is, they both drink. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info '卺' is a gourd divided into two scoops, but the Song people also often used wine glasses instead. Thankfully, it wouldn't have been possible otherwise.

The jade girl's red lips drank for a few minutes, and there were slight bad marks on the edge of the lamp. Xianlang deliberately left the residual wine, and he couldn't bear to swallow it for the sake of the fragrant fragrance. ”

The bridesmaids sang poems in unison, urging the newlyweds to drink a glass of wine in pairs. In cheers. Li Fengwu and Wen Qianmo threw the wine bowl under the bed first, Wen Qianmo's one jumped up after landing, and Li Fengwu was silent after landing.

The crowd rejoiced and said, "Good sign! ”

Li Fengwu threw it with Wen Shuzhen again.

Then two rows of maids came up with trays, and on the plate were the so-called 'Ten Objects of Love'.

The maid in the front row first presented the first love object, the bracelet, while chanting: "Why is it so broad? Double jade bracelet around the wrist. "On the one hand, put on the two ladies, on the wrists of light ink, is a pair of jade jade bracelets, green and green, without a little variegation. On Shuzhen's wrist is a pair of agate bracelets, all fiery red, without a bit of variegation

After putting on the jade bracelet, the two maids stepped back.

A second pair of maids stepped forward and presented the tray, and the bridesmaids took the second object from the plate, the arm, and sang, "Why do you make a fist?" The arms are double-jumped. ”

Chuan belongs to the bracelet category, and the bracelet worn on the wrist is called the bracelet, and the bracelet worn on the arm is called the bracelet.

Compared with the simple style of the bracelet, the arm is much more beautiful.

What Li Fengwu gave to Qianmo is a pair of jade arm hairpins, which can be turned at both ends, which can be bent and stretched, and the order is round, seamless, surrounded by nine dragons, and the ghosts and gods are meritorious.

This one alone cost two thousand taels of silver.

What was given to Shuzhen was a pair of gold jumps, spring-like, coiled into nine circles, and the two ends were braided into rings with gold and silver wires, which were used to adjust the tightness and not hinder the movement at all, which was also very valuable.

When it was the turn of the third object, the ring, the maid who presented the tray chanted, "Why is it so kind? Approximately a pair of silver. ”

In ancient times, unmarried women did not wear rings, because rings were tokens of love, so the smallest token was the heaviest in a woman's heart.

The ring needs to be brought by the groom to the bride, because the ring is the most important, so the female surname to be present sings together to show the admonition and blessing: "Twist the ring lovesickness, see the ring and remember each other." May you always keep playing, and there is no end to the cycle. ”

Li Fengwu took off a silver ring, and the eyes of all the women lit up at once, they were all people who knew the goods, and found that it was not a silver ring, and the luster was more gorgeous, and it looked extremely noble. It is also set with sparkling transparent gemstones. The ladies sighed in their hearts, compared with this kind of ring, the gold rings inlaid with gems at home are simply vulgar.

So I secretly made up my mind and went back to the bride to ask, where could I buy such a ring?

These things are not easy!

The Great Song Dynasty is rare, but fortunately, there are already many people in the Great Song Dynasty today, and Li Fengwu spent a lot of money to let the people of Yici Le Ye be ordered from overseas by sea and brought back to Jiankang -- before Li Fengwu sent to Xiliao, he had already planned this matter.

Picking up her boneless little hand, he gently put the ring on her slender ring finger, and then kissed her affectionately on the lips, eliciting the screams and cheers of the women.

Wen Qianmo was embarrassed - his thoughts jumped out, remembering the first time he was kissed by officials in the Gui Theater......

Li Fengwu picked up another ring and held a jade hand like white jade with mutton fat......

The women erupted in cheers again, startling the people eating in the front yard to look at each other, wondering what was happening.

The fourth object was earrings, and the maid sang, "Why is it so mere? Two pearls in the ear. ”

Then the bridesmaids remove the earrings from the plate and put them on for the bride.

In the Song Dynasty, small and concise earrings were called 'cloves', and intricate and gorgeous earrings were called 'luosuo', and Li Fengwu prepared the former for Xiaomei and the latter for Yue'e.

The fifth object is a sachet, and the maids chant, "Why do you knock?" The sachet is tied behind the elbow. ”

Tie it for the two brides.

The sixth object is a jade pendant, and the maids chant: "Why do you have a relationship? The beautiful jade is adorned. ”

The seventh object of love is the concentric knot, and the maids sing, "Why do you have one heart? Plain wisps with double needles. ”

The concentric knots popular in China in later generations were all monochrome, but the concentric knots in Japan and South Korea were still like the Song Dynasty, using two-color weaving, which meant that the two were one.

The eighth object is a golden hairpin, and the maid chants: "Why do you get married?" The gold thin painting scratches the head. ”

Insert hairpins for the two brides.

The ninth object of love is a hairpin, and the maid sings: "Why do you want to comfort and part? Tortoiseshell hairpin behind the ear. ”

The last one was a dress, and the maid sang, "Why do you answer Huanxin?" Plain three skirts. ”

Of course, this one will not be worn on the spot.

This is the reason why there are so many men and women left in the Song Dynasty, just gathering these 'ten things of love' is enough for small families to smash pots and sell iron. Once the woman does not lower her requirements, the marriage can only be delayed indefinitely......

After sending the ten things of love, even if the bride was firmly tied, Li Fengwu came out to toast the guests, and the female guests held a banquet in the inner courtyard, and they did not mention it.

In order to organize this grand banquet, the Yipin Mala Club managed by Zheng He was directly closed for three days, and the staff of the whole store made every effort to prepare.

With the cooperation of major businesses and the personal management of the small officials of the Li family, this wedding banquet can be described as so luxurious that the population is stunned.

At the expense of the capital, through the business name of a happy people, three ships of ingredients that could not be seen in Bianjing were transported for the wedding banquet.

First of all, seafood, in the high-end banquet in Bianjing City, mainly river fresh, because this is inland, transportation is inconvenient, people eat seafood, most of them are pickled goods that have lost their essence, and the taste is naturally not good.

However, after purchasing the best fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish from the coast, the people of Yicile Industry use the 'freezing method', which is first sent to the ice cellar to be completely frozen, and then packed into layers of wrapped incubators.

Then order the various merchants along the way to prepare ice cubes, so that the incubator is always in a cold state, and arrive in the capital at the fastest speed.

By the time it arrives in Jiankang, the seafood is still frozen, naturally fresh, and simply cooked, with its natural umami flavor overshadowing all the dishes in the interior.

The second is vegetables, and this season, there are very few varieties of vegetables in the north. But the South still has it all. In addition to those vegetables that are native to China, Yici Leye people also introduced fungus vegetables from India, lettuce and cabbage from Arabia, and they also brought them in one go.

Then there are tropical fruits. What bananas, pineapples, mangoes, durians, mangosteens, dragon fruits, rambutan, pineapples...... Relying on the convenient shipping of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was delivered to Jiankang in ten days, although half of it was rotten, but because the volume was too large, the remaining half was enough to supply this banquet.

And Li Fengwu squeezes those fruits that are no longer bright in appearance into juice, which will definitely be very popular.

Sichuan cuisine is hot and spicy, and there is juice to make guests eat more comfortably.

With such top-notch ingredients, coupled with Li Fengwu's guidance, Zheng He did his best to create a table of high-end and high-grade Sichuan cuisine......

After this wedding banquet, the status of the grandmaster of Sichuan cuisine of Yipin Mala Guild Hall was established. (To be continued.) )
