Chapter 10: The auspicious time has arrived
The preparations for the wedding were carried out in an orderly manner, but Ling Yun was the only one who was idle, everyone had done everything, and he had nothing to do at all.
Seeing the little girl Mulan commanding a large group of servants, mothers-in-law and girls busy, with a bit of the momentum of a big girl, Ling Yun sat under the freshly blooming peach tree in the east courtyard and was a little fascinated. He suddenly felt that since it was impossible to go back, it might be a good choice to stay here, stay in the Sui Dynasty, stay in Gaojiazhuang, and be the aunt of this local tyrant landlord's family. Although the Gao family seems to be neither a gate lord nor a scholar, or even an official eunuch, it is an indisputable fact that the family has 10,000 acres of fertile land, dozens of shops, and thousands of servants. If he stays here, he won't worry about eating, drinking, and surviving, and he doesn't have to worry about how to settle down and find a foothold. The Gao family is a simple family, there is nothing that disagrees with their fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law, and there are no brothers and uncles who want to compete for property. And although Gao Qianxue is a woman from a thousand years ago, she is not bad looking, and even fits Lingyun's modern aesthetics.
Even Gao Qianxue has white hair and silver eyebrows, and an excessively white complexion. But in Ling Yun's view, this is not an ominous appearance at all, it is just a very common albinism in later generations. And in later generations, albinos even had a beautiful title, the child of moonshine. There was even a young girl with albinism, who became more and more prominent because of her white hair and silver eyebrows, and was called Snow White. Gao Qianxue's appearance was not the slightest burden to Ling Yun, and after several contacts, he also felt that Gao Qianxue, an ancient person, was not difficult to get along with, and even had some rare gentleness, delicacy and understanding. The two live together, at least there will be no communication barriers, discordant personalities and the like in the future.
Besides, Gao Qianxue is a genuine Bai Fumei, marrying her, she really struggled for thirty years.
Ling Yun is not a person with huge ambitions, although he arrived in the Sui Dynasty thousands of years ago, but what he thinks about is not a boundless ** such as fighting for hegemony in the world, he just thinks about how to survive. A modern ordinary person just hopes to live a relaxed and happy life. Rebellion, that's to kill the head.
What's so bad about being a landlord and tyrant in Jiangnan?
Liangtian mansion, **beautiful concubine, comfortable**. Thinking of this, Ling Yun couldn't help but glance at Xiao Mulan and Qinglian, two little Loli, who were directing the servants to be busy. According to his understanding of ancient times, a young lady like Mulan would usually marry a young lady as a dowry girl when she got married. even followed the young lady and the aunt to worship and get married. This also means that in fact, as long as Ling Yun and Gao Qianxue become married, Mulan and Qinglian, the two personal maids of Gao Qianxue, will immediately become Ling Yun's concubines, although their status is low, not much higher than that of their maids, but they will become his legitimate and reasonable women. When the hostess comes to the house, is sick, or is pregnant, or during confinement, then these concubines who accompany the marriage must replace their own young lady and fulfill their obligations.
Dissolute!
Shameless!
The feudal society is really shameless, and the feudal system really poisons the poor people. Ling Yun shook his head and whispered a few times, but his heart was full of anticipation for this. It is said that the butt decides the head, who made Lingyun become a member of the feudal landlord class now, no, he is about to become a member of the feudal landlord class. He even couldn't help but look at Mulan and Qinglian carefully, the two little girls were only fourteen years old, like two green apples, not yet grown, although they were immature but very cute. I still can't eat it for the time being, but it's just right to raise it for a few years, and it can be adjusted for a few years!
Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for?
Maybe God saw that he had struggled too hard in modern times, and specially sent himself to this time and space thousands of years ago to enjoy it. That's it, wasting your youth like this, being a social moth and dying of old age, that kind of life will definitely be very good.
"Uncle, have you remembered the etiquette of the wedding?" Beads of sweat broke out on the tips of Mulan's busy little nose, and she had to run to Ling Yun to ask him about his mastery of etiquette.
"Well, pretty much memorized it." Ling Yun half-opened his eyes, sat cross-legged on the soft couch under the peach tree, smelled the incense from the copper incense burner on the side, and the little little Mulan in the air, and nodded intoxicatedly. has not officially married in the church, but Lingyun has already felt the sense of accomplishment and enjoyment of marrying Bai Fumei and walking to the pinnacle of life.
"Uncle, then you can try this dress again." Mulan stepped forward with a bright red dress in her hand.
According to the Han and Wei etiquette systems, at the wedding of the Han people, men wore red and women wore green, which completely subverted Ling Yun's previous impression that ancient weddings were all brides dressed in red. The dress fits perfectly, not too big or too small, as if it was tailor-made. The material of the clothes is also very high-quality, and it seems to be some kind of precious brocade. But if you compare it with the bride's dress, it's a small thing. Gao Qianxue's wedding dress is called a luxury and beautiful, the real high-end atmosphere is on the grade, the turquoise dress is composed of six layers, and even comes with a full set of jewelry and headdresses, which dazzles people and makes people breathtaking. Seeing these ceremonial items that had been prepared earlier, Ling Yun had already guessed that these must have been prepared a long time ago, maybe many years ago. After all, Gao Qianxue Fangling has been in her teens for ten years, and in the next life, she is still practicing love in college. But in this era, she is already an out-and-out old girl. In general, women have given birth to several children. As you can imagine, these wedding dresses and jewelry must have been prepared when she was just of wedding age, but it was only for various reasons, including her rumored ominous appearance, that she has been delayed until now.
But it's okay to do this, this time the wedding date was set in a very hasty manner, and with these early prepared wedding dresses and dowries, I will not be caught off guard.
However, the time was too hasty after all, and it was too late to complete the three books and six ceremonies procedures for the wedding. However, this wedding was originally special, there was no order from parents, no matchmakers, and even the groom was a stranger who had just lost his memory. And this marriage is still a marriage that is not a recruitment in name, but in fact it is a marriage that recruits a son-in-law. I don't know where the man's home is, whether his parents are there, and I don't even know the groom's birthday.
Therefore, the six rites of Nacai, Mingming, Najib, and Nazheng are basically saved, but today's wedding date was set yesterday, so it is considered a date ceremony, and then the last ceremony will be held directly today. However, because of Lingyun's amnesia, he still has to live in Gaojiazhuang after marriage, so the kiss ceremony is also simplified, and there is no need to go from the man to the woman's house to greet the family, but just directly carry out the worship ceremony in the village.
The six rites can be saved, but the three books cannot be saved.
The three books refer to the certificate of marriage, the letter of appointment, the letter of ceremony, and the letter of welcome. According to the principle of simplicity and speed, Ling Yun had already handed over the letter of appointment for the marriage that was originally signed at Najib to the Gao family early this morning, and when Uncle Zhang of the tent room represented Ling Yun's side to go to the backyard with a lot of gifts to celebrate the big gift, he also gave Ling Yun the gift book to Gao Qianxue. In fact, the so-called big gifts and dowry gifts are all Gaojiazhuang's things, which have been changed from the left pocket to the right pocket.
The last welcome book, but it was only when Ling Yun took Gao Qianxue and circled Gaojiazhuang for a while before he could get started. As soon as this welcome letter was received, the marriage between Gao Qianxue and Ling Yun had already been calculated, and it was only the end of the worship hall and the candles in the cave room.
Now everything is ready, just wait for dusk.
Since the Zhou Dynasty, the marriage of newlyweds in all dynasties was held at dusk, and the wedding was held during the day, which was very rude in ancient times.
Although the Gao family said that they were just a landlord, they took this very seriously, and the wedding could be simpler, but this final ceremony could not be casual.
What does it mean to be married? Bow at dusk, so it is called marriage.
Although the wait was long, the sun finally set as usual, and dusk came, and the sky was getting dark.
The wedding finally began, and Ling Yun, who had already changed into a red dress, stepped onto a big white horse draped in red silk flowers surrounded by a group of young Zhuang Ding who were also wearing brand new brocade robes, and then the group walked out of the village in a circle. Nine pairs of boys and maidens in the front of the procession led the way with red wedding candles, and nine pairs of stewards and daughters-in-law of Fulu held red candles in the back. The team went around the village all the way, and finally returned to the village, and drove directly to the north courtyard where Gao Qianxue was. Gao Bo's daughter-in-law went out with Gao Qianxue on her back and sent the wedding car behind, and in the sound of musical instruments, Ling Yun rode in front and returned to the east courtyard with the convoy.
After another week of detouring, the convoy arrived at the gate of the East Courtyard, and Ling Yun handed the red welcome book to the carriage with high light snow. The carriage lifted a corner of the curtain, and Gao Qianxue stretched out her jade-like slender hand to take the welcome book. Everyone cheered, the three books and six ceremonies have been completed, and from then on, Gao Qianxue and Ling Yun are a justifiable, reasonable and legal husband and wife.
"The auspicious time has come, the newlyweds will worship the church!" Ling Yun and Gao Qianxue slowly stepped into the warm and festive auditorium with a big red silk, and there were already hundreds of people standing in the hall to watch the ceremony, and even the outside was crowded with the upper and lower parts of the village.
Ling Yun was also a little excited at this time, although he was also a human being in two lives, but this time he was married, and he was also the first time that the eldest girl had been on the sedan chair. When I looked at Gao Qianxue, who was supported by Mulan and Qinglian, I couldn't tell if she was nervous, but the two girls, Mulan and Qinglian, who were about to worship with Gao Qianxue, were both crimson and nervous.
"The auspicious time has come, worship heaven and earth!" Uncle Zhang sang loudly again.
Ling Yun was about to step forward to worship heaven and earth, but at this time, he suddenly heard an exclamation outside, and then the crowd watching the ceremony suddenly parted like waves, letting a few sturdy men rush in with hurried steps.
