In the night, the welcoming team set off, the two families are not far apart, only two miles away, the man's house is located in the east Chongye Fang of Dingdingmen Street, and the woman's house is located in the West Xuanfeng Fang of Dingdingmen Street, only an Anye Fang and a Dingdingmen Street in the middle

There are about more than 100 people in the welcoming procession, all of which are dressed up by Yang Yuanqing's soldiers, surrounded by a seven-incense car, Yang Yuanqing is wearing a red wedding robe, wearing a black gauze hat, wearing a silk flower obliquely, slightly wearing makeup, looking joyful

But Prime Minister Li Chongxuan was a little uneasy, he kept looking ahead, Yang Yuanqing saw that he was a little nervous, so he smiled and said, "What are you nervous about?" It's not your husband today."

"I'm looking at a car barrier"

The obstacle car is a custom in the wedding, the woman's family will set up obstacles to stop the car halfway, ask for money, and the red envelope is the same, generally before the kiss or after receiving the mother, stop the car to ask for a gift, this is also a custom that makes the man's family very headache, if it is the woman's family to stop the car, if you encounter a bully blocking the road to ask for the car barrier ceremony, then it is troublesome, if you can't be satisfied, they will arrest the mother, humiliate the three children before putting them back, and then it gradually becomes a kind of vulgarity

Yang Yuanqing said with a smile: "It's okay, aunt said, there is no obstacle tonight, it's just that you have to scatter the boy's money when you enter the door, you go and prepare, and let everyone scatter a little more."

Li Chongxuan put down his heart and turned around to make arrangements

The welcoming team came to the gate of Pei's house, the gate was closed, this was the beginning of the son-in-law, Yang Yuanqing urged the horse to step forward, and said loudly: "The thief must fight, the guest must see, report the sister-in-law, come out to see"

Although Yang Yuanqing has passed the aunt's test a few years ago, there are still two questions that must be done, one is the first door chant, and the last one is the upper hall household chant

I only heard the voice of my aunt Pei Hanyu from behind the door, and she asked, "Who is the gentleman?" Where are the talents? Why did the spirit come? ”

Yang Yuanqing also replied with a smile: "I am a gentleman of Chang'an, I was born in the military, and I was elected as a general, so I am the highest gate."

The gate of Pei's mansion rumbled open, the lights inside were dazzling, the laughter was noisy, and dozens of children rushed out, bowing their heads, "Meet your son-in-law, ask for money"

Yang Sanlang and Yang Shilang had already prepared, picked up two small dustpans, and scattered a lot of money to the children, the poor into the house to scatter copper money, the big family into the house to scatter silver, the rich and powerful scattered money, the children happily, desperately scrambled, Yang Sanlang and Yang Shilang threw hundreds of silk satin to the maids and servants of Pei Mansion, and they were all happy for a while

In a burst of laughter, dozens of nephews of the Pei family walked into the gate with Lang and Wu Xiang, and entered the woman's gate

When entering the hall, Minqiu's aunt Pei Hanyu asked again: "Since you are a gentleman from a high family, you are more noble than a hero, and you don't judge your intentions, what do you want?" ”

Yang Yuanqing replied: "Hearing the gentleman's high words, so I am like-minded, my fair lady, the gentleman is good."

In the applause of the crowd, Yang Yuanqing and Wu Xiang walked into the inner hall, and Li Chongxuan, the prime minister, carried a basket in his hand, covered with colorful brocade, which was prepared for the next link

The following is the important ritual of sacrificing geese, there are several screens in the hall, Niang Minqiu is in the screen, sitting in a saddle, and next to each stand cousin Pei You and cousin Pei Xiaozhi

Yang Yuanqing took the basket and took out a wild goose from the basket, it was a live goose, wrapped in red silk, tied with five-colored cotton, and he smiled: "I'm going to throw it away"

Pei Minqiu replied inside, "I'm going to pick it up"

This is when the husband and wife are separated in the future, both parties need to use the wild goose to pass on, all very important, not to fall to death, after a few years, the Lang family will come to redeem the goose and release it

Yang Yuanqing carefully threw the goose in, worthy of the first arrow, thrown very accurately, and the strength was well controlled, not fast or slow, Pei Minqiu just reached out to catch it, and the hall applauded, Pei Hanyu smiled: "Please rest your son-in-law, and make up your wife"

Yang Yuanqing went to rest, first drank a bowl of honey soup balls, and then dined, the night was late, the banquet guests at the man's house had ended, and there was no food to eat when they went back, usually the woman's family dined

With the boycott, it's already a while, the following is to sing a makeup poem, urge the mother to leave, don't mistake the cave room, in fact, the mother has already made up, and the mother also opened the face for her, just to be reserved, not so easy to be picked up

Yang Yuanqing slowly walked to the bottom of the embroidery building, and chanted loudly: "In the past, I went to the border to travel, and Yang Wutou, the general of a hundred battles, is fortunate to be Qin Jinhui, and the early education Luan Feng is under the makeup building."

After waiting for a while, there was no reaction from above, and he had to sing again, Yang Yuanqing had prepared in advance, so he had to chant loudly again: "Tonight, the Weaver Girl descended into the room, and the mirror makeup was idle, and she had her own peach blossom face, so she didn't need fat powder to stain her face."

On the embroidery floor, Wang Fujin smiled at his daughter and said: "The time has come, go"

Pei Minqiu knelt down for her mother and said with tears in her eyes: "My daughter is gone, I hope my mother will take care of herself, and my daughter will come back to visit from time to time."

Wang Fujin gently hugged his daughter, put on the phoenix crown for her, and said with tears: "Today is your big day, don't cry and be sad, after going to the Yang family, you must respect your husband, be filial to your elders, be diligent and thrifty, treat your subordinates well, especially treat your sisters, and don't be arrogant."

"My daughter remembered"

Pei Minqiu kowtowed to his mother three times, got up and left, a large group of unmarried daughters of the Pei family were already waiting at the door, dozens of Pei family women hugged their mothers and walked slowly downstairs, ringing the sound of Pei, in the middle was the bridesmaid Pei Xiaozhi and the bridal maid Aqiu, they supported the mother on the left and right, Niang Minqiu was wearing a phoenix crown on her head, wearing a green dress in a xia veil, and there was no hijab in the Sui and Tang dynasties, but the four maids covered their faces with fans before and after

Yang Yuanqing walked in front, Minqiu was surrounded by his mother's family and walked behind, and there were constantly Pei family members splashing water with copper basins in the back, symbolizing splashing water to go out, and Minqiu was the Yang family from then on

Minqiu was helped into the seven-spice car, only the bridesmaids and the bridal maid followed, Yang Yuanqing rode around the seven-spice car three times, and said loudly: "After the ceremony, set off"

The greeting team hugged the carriage and walked slowly, the Pei family stood in front of the gate and watched them go away, out of this door, Minqiu is the wife of the Yang family, Cui Laofu sighed, "Everyone goes in and returns to the door after three years, everyone rests early, and Ming Yao begins to prepare"

The crowd entered, and the door slowly closed

Sui and Tang Dynasty weddings inherited the ancient rites, there is no custom of worshipping the hall to marry, that is the Song and Yuan dynasties only became popular, as early as the previous death, Pei Minqiu's mother Wang Fujin and the eldest aunt Pei Hanyu came to the Yang family shop, that is, to build a hundred children's tent, a kind of dome of the tent, this is the custom of the Northern Dynasties, that is, the cave room, set up in the inner hall, make a bed in the tent, and then only one child in it, end the wine, this is called 'shop mother and child'

At this time, it was late at night, the guests had already dispersed, generally the man's family was waiting to enter, Yang Yuanqing did not have any man's house, except for his nine iron guards, the rest were Yujuluo and his wife, Li Min and his wife, and Yang Lihua, and then there were more than 100 palace maids and eunuchs

Although the man's family is small, but there is no lack of lively, more than 100 palace maids and eunuchs whispered, stretched their necks to visit their mothers, there were already several maids carrying two felt blankets, waiting in front of the door, the seven incense car stopped, several maids immediately stepped forward to put the felt blanket at the feet, this is called 'turning felt', the mother's feet can not touch the ground, by the two felt blankets in turn, all the way into the hundred children's tent

Several palace maids stepped forward with long-handled fans, covering the mother, stepping on the felt carpet, the mother walked forward step by step, and was taken into the Baizi tent

The hundred-child tent is set up in the inner hall, the tent is spacious, divided into two rooms inside and outside, the inner room is made with a bed, a child holds a wine, stands in the outer tent, the bridesmaid and the bridal maid will help the mother in, the maid will invite Lang in, all the people will retreat, only Lang Niang and a child are left in the hundred-child tent

At this time, entering the opposite seat, the male west and the female east, meaning that the yin and yang will gradually meet, the child stepped forward with the wine, and whispered: "Please enter the drink together"

The wine is not a cup of wine, it is a gourd all into two, which contains wine, and the gourd tastes bitter, so it must be bitter wine, and the husband and wife drink the liquor together, which not only symbolizes the husband and wife becoming one, and will always tie the same good, but also contains the deep meaning of letting the lady share the joys and sorrows

Yang Yuanqing only finished the appearance of her mother for the first time at this time, Pei Minqiu had a beautiful face, long and slender, a flower-shaped phoenix crown hanging her head, a beautiful delicate body and jade body, wearing a light green Luo Yi long skirt, her crystal skin was shining under the candlelight scattering, she lowered her head, her pretty face was slightly red, and her eyes were full of affection, like a budding bud blooming faintly

Although Pei Minqiu was infinitely shy, the child's words were heard in his ears, and he stretched out his slender jade fingers, and his nails were already dyed with cardamom bright red

She picked up a gourd wine cup, brought it to her lips and sucked it gently, her eyes rolled, she glanced at her husband, and saw that he was staring at her with blazing eyes, she was immediately ashamed, covered her delicate face with her sleeve, and handed him the wine cup

Yang Yuanqing also picked up the wine cup and took a sip, exchanged his wine cup with the wine cup in her hand, and drank the wine cup in one fell swoop, and put it on the children's plate

The boy whispered again: "The ancient time has come, please sit on the bed"

Yang Yuanqing stood up and stretched out his hand to slowly help Pei Minqiu up, Pei Minqiu's body was delicate and weak, so he had to let him hold his jade hand, half snuggled up to his chest, Yang Yuanqing supported Pei Minqiu's soft waist, hugged each other and walked into the inner tent, and a pair sat down in front of the bed, at this time the wedding was not over

The boy lowered the inner tent curtain for them, blew out the candles, exited the hundred children's tent, and said in a loud voice: "Enter the bed"

Yang Lihua walked forward with all the family members and dozens of palace maids, and they scattered the flowers and fruits on the Baizi account, and the custom that existed in the Han Dynasty at this time has continued to this day

Yang Lihua whispered the mantra, "Tonight Guchen, Pei's daughter and Yang's child tied the knot, after the wish is accepted, long live the thousand autumns, keep Guchang, five men and two women, slaves and maids, the man is willing to be the prime minister, and the woman is married to the king.

After reading, she waved her hand, and all the entrances exited the inner hall, except for the marrying maid Xiaoqiu, she also set up a partial tent in the inner hall, which can be served at any time

Xiaoqiu locked the door of the inner hall, blew out the lights and candles, and stepped forward and said: "The guests have retreated, please sleep with the girl and aunt, please call Xiaoqiu if you have something"

She got into her little tent, covered her head and face with a quilt, blocked her ears, and blushed with shame

In the account of the hundred sons, Minqiu snuggled in her husband's arms, and the two fell in love, "Tonight is a gentleman's wife, when the husband and wife grow old together, you can't bear me"

Yang Yuanqing gently kissed her lips and smiled: "**Bitter short, you and I can do the gift of Zhou Gong, cross the neck, and never live up to the Qing"

Min Qiu was infinitely shy, took off the phoenix crown on her head, her black waterfall-like hair was scattered over her shoulders, her eyes were slightly closed, Yang Yuanqing kissed her lips lightly, and reached out to slowly untie her dress tent in the strong sense of spring
