Chapter 186: The Big Wedding (2)
()"In the past, it was not enough to boast, but now there is no end to debauchery." The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day. Li Junxian hurriedly read out this poem by the poet Meng Jiao.
Although this poem was written by Meng Jiao when he was in Dengke, there is no word about Dengke and the first between the lines, and there is only a scene of spring breeze triumphant. Therefore, it is still okay for Li Junxian to use this poem to deal with it, because getting married is also a little Dengke! And it is enough to show that Li Junxian was born in poverty, and now he is famous, married a wife, and can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.
"Good!" The guests shouted loudly.
"Three ladies, is it okay?" Li Junxian asked.
Soon, Li Junxian got a reply, saying that the three ladies could come out. And the three ladies came out soon, but they were covered with hijabs, and ordinary people couldn't see them. Li Junxian can clearly see that the tallest one is Mulan, because Mulan is older and has been exercising for a long time, so she is taller. And the second one is Dugu Yiren, because Dugu Yiren is one year older than Zheng Liwan, and Zheng Liwan is the youngest, and his height is not as tall as Dugu Yiren.
"Three ladies, please get on the sedan chair!" Li Junxian said.
Dugu Yiren and they also walked under the guidance of the maids beside them, walked on the sedan chair, and went to Li Junxian's house to worship and get married.
Li Junxian rode a horse and slowly took the three ladies to his home.
"Please kick the groom at the car door!" Ma Zhou shouted.
The so-called kicking of the sedan door is to let the groom show his authority. Show yourself that you are not afraid of guilt in the future. Although many grooms have kicked the sedan door, they should be afraid of the inside, which is just a matter of etiquette.
"No need!" Li Junxian said.
"No more?" Ma Zhou didn't know what Li Junxian meant.
"My three ladies and I are sincere. After marriage, we should respect each other and support each other. Husbands and wives are equal, so why use this method to assert authority? Wouldn't it be nice to treat each other as guests? Li Junxian said.
Li Junxian's words made countless people a little surprised, they didn't expect Li Junxian to say this, and this was something that had not been done in the previous drill. Li Junxian said this publicly, which shows that after remarrying in the future, Li Junxian will not play the theory of a husband as a wife. will not use any husband's identity to suppress his wife, this is what Li Junxian said that husband and wife are equal. But Li Junxian knew that it was difficult for husband and wife to be equal in ancient times. Because a man can have more than one wife, while a woman can only have one husband, this is the difference.
Ma Zhou obviously didn't expect Li Junxian to say this, but since he has the talent of a prime minister. Of course, the ability to adapt is very powerful.
"General Lee was able to do that. That is a model of my Datang, able to treat his wife well and respect each other like a guest. This is a saint's legacy! Ma Zhou immediately opened his mouth and said a nonsense.
"General Li is really a real man!" "General Li is a good man!" "The three young ladies were able to marry General Li, that is their blessing!" ……
Another bunch of sycophancy came, and Li Junxian accepted it calmly. Whether those bystanders agree with Li Junxian's words or not, that's their business, and Li Junxian just wants to implement the equal status of husband and wife in his own family. He can't manage other people's homes, but Li Junxian can still manage his own family.
"Please get off the sedan chair!" Ma Zhou continued to shout.
Dugu Yiren and their three brides are already about to get off the sedan chair. Li Junxian led them to his door one by one, and the next thing should be to cross the brazier.
The so-called brazier. It is to make the bride and groom prosperous after marriage. Although Li Junxian did not adapt to this ancient custom, in order to give the three daughters a perfect marriage as possible, they still did it according to the customs.
The first person to come to the brazier was Dugu Yiren, and Li Junxian led Dugu Yiren to the front of the brazier, but Li Junxian stopped.
"Let's go!" Li Junxian said this suddenly, and then picked up Dugu Yiren.
Li Junxian picked up Dugu Yiren, and then walked past the brazier, leaving the guests present stunned.
"General Li, this is really a favorite lady!" The guests began to talk.
Li Junxian then hugged Mulan and Zheng Liwan through the brazier, which can be regarded as treating them equally.
Li Junxian should then visit the high hall of heaven and earth, which can be regarded as the end of the marriage.
Li Junxian took Dugu Yiren's hand and came to the lobby, first kneeling outside the door under the command of Ma Zhou, the master of ceremonies.
"Worship heaven and earth!" Ma Zhou said.
Li Junxian and Dugu Yiren immediately worshipped.
"Second worship high hall!" Ma Zhou continued to shout.
Li Junxian and Dugu Yiren turned their heads, looked at Li Junxian's parents sitting in the chair, and Dugu Yiren's father, Dugu Yanyun, and also knelt down to worship.
"Husband and wife worship each other!"
Li Junxian and Dugu Yiren bowed to each other.
Next, it was Mulan's turn. And Li Junxian had already sent someone to pick up Mulan's parents before Mulan returned to Chang'an, and bought a house for their whole family, which was considered a dowry for them. And Mulan's parents heard that their daughter not only did not die on the battlefield, but also became a general, and now they are going to get married, which is a joy. Originally, they were still worried, but now that the matter is over, their daughter is going to get married, or to marry a young and promising first-class official of the dynasty, what are they not satisfied with?
Mulan's three worships were the same as those of Dugu Yiren, and soon they arrived at Zheng Liwan.
However, Zheng Liwan's father was very cold to Li Junxian, because if Zheng Renji was too enthusiastic, then I am afraid that the scholars in Shandong would be a little dissatisfied with him. What's more, Li Junxian was also "robbing relatives" at that time, so Zheng Renji couldn't be too enthusiastic.
"After the three worships, send it to the cave room!" Ma Zhou shouted, ending the officiant work of this marriage.
The three worships have ended, the bride has been sent into the cave room, and Li Junxian still has to accept the celebration of the guests, and he has to persuade him to drink! Li Junxian is now cocooning himself, he has made a highly drunken distilled spirit, and now the guests are pouring this distilled liquor into him. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that Li Junxian will really get drunk on the wine table and won't be able to go to the cave room.
"Haha, fortunately, according to the methods of the later generations, I have already prepared." Li Junxian said.
The "wine" in Li Junxian's wine pot is actually not wine, just some water. In this way, Li Junxian is enough to not get drunk for a thousand cups.
"General Li really deserves to be a real general, a lot!" The guests were talking. (To be continued......)
