Chapter 60: A Tang Dynasty Wedding (Part II)
As soon as he heard about the wedding, Xu Yang hurriedly went to change his clothes, which was explained by the ceremonial officer, the official regulations of the Tang Dynasty, when the young men got married, they could wear dresses that were higher than their real grades, which was called 'Resheng', which also showed the government's attitude of encouraging marriage.
In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, 'Sesheng' not only showed Xiàn in dressing, but the entire wedding process would be accompanied by the man's braggadocio and exaggerated words to deceive his daughter-in-law, and over time, it became a custom, but Xu Yang had a headache when he thought of these troublesome false etiquette, and he changed his clothes three times after getting married.
At this time, it was just after three o'clock in the afternoon, and the wedding was only held at dusk, and the ancient marriage ceremony was originally called 'dusk', and the dusk of dusk, next to the female word, was also attached to it in later generations.
Many guests are now welcomed into the large courtyard prepared in advance, the tables, chairs and benches are ready, and the people are busy, serving tea and water, serving food back and forth, so lively, everyone drinks and chats here, and does not feel impatient.
At this time, Xu Yang is about to go to greet his relatives, if he wants to say that he is going to greet his relatives, that is, he is riding a high-headed horse, with a band team, wearing a big red robe and a happy clothes, knocking and knocking out the door and turning around a few times, so that the world will know that he Xu Yang is getting married today.
There is a rule of worshipping ancestors before going out, but Xu Yang returned from overseas and claimed that he didn't know his parents since he was a child, so he had to hang a picture of the ancestors of the Guigu Valley on the hall, put on the tablet, kowtow and bow, light a few incense plants, Liu Qi stood outside the door and shouted: "Go to welcome your wife, worship the temple!" Xu Yang kowtowed a few more times to the tablet and said, "Only dare not give up." Get up and go out on horseback, hugging geese in your arms, and in the dark, ask the ancestors of the Ghost Valley to bless this fake descendant who is also fateful.
The ceremonial team came out of Liu's Zhuangzi, Liu Qi pulled a tall and handsome horse in the front, and it was Xu Yang who sat immediately, they were going to Chang'an City, the daughter of the four members of the big man and the marquis of the county of the dynasty got married, the scale can not be small, I saw that there were dozens of people in the blowing class alone, more than a dozen of them beat the drum in front, followed by the suona team, the horn team, the gong and drum team, and the birds and phoenixes, and the later generations of those who greeted the relatives were not much different, but the scale was larger.
At this time, Xu Yang was wearing a black tasseled crown, a red robe, an orange-red bottom, a white gauze shirt, a black belt, white socks and red shoes, and some fragmentary decorations.
Hundreds of strong men are also very spectacular together, Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi are very happy, it is rare to have a happy event, this is much more interesting than being on duty in the imperial city, there are four decorated wedding floats, along the way, Steward Liu will scatter dozens of copper coins as long as he sees people, just a festive picture. Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi also grabbed a lot of money and played by themselves.
The team knocked and knocked into Chang'an City, and the guards of Mingdemen did not dare to stop this family welcoming team, and they didn't see that one of the three people in front of them was the eldest son of the Cheng family, and the other was the eldest son of the Wei Chi family, and the eyes of the soldiers were blind.
Steward Liu is very good at being a person, and the more than a dozen stewards who guarded the door all received a small red envelope, although the red envelope was small, but the hundred copper coins in it were a lot, and the gatekeeper let him go with a smile, only hoping that the lord of such a wealthy place could marry a few more times.
"Huaimo, look at my brother, I can throw three hundred copper coins." I saw Yu Chi Baolin holding a large handful of copper coins in his big hand, and said arrogantly to Cheng Chu.
"Okay, you Baolin, are you capable of doing big things, I can also throw three hundred Wen." Cheng Chu was not convinced, and also grabbed a large handful of money from a big money bag on the horse, and counted it for a long time before saying: "Haha, Baolin, you lost, I have three hundred and five copper coins in this hand, five more than you, haha." ”
Yu Chi Baolin's face turned red, and he hurriedly grabbed a handful of money from the money bag with his other hand and stuffed it into his right hand, but the stuff fell one by one, and Xu Yang was speechless for a while, and the two were funny.
When the welcoming team entered Chang'an City, it attracted everyone's attention, especially Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin, who were throwing money in front, and they became the scattered wealth boys in the eyes of everyone, and they followed behind the two of them with blood-red eyes, and every time they threw money, it could trigger a large amount of robbery.
Now the monthly income of the business club in Xishi has exceeded more than 10,000 yuan, Cheng Chumo, Wei Chi Baolin, Li Dejian, Li Chongyi, several of them can wake up with a smile in their dreams of making money now, and even their parents have begun to pay attention to the money they earn.
Cheng Chumo is not worried about the club at all now, all the management has been handed over to his younger brother Cheng Chuliang, originally there was a deep estrangement between their brothers, but a few days ago in the club by chance to meet the menacing brother, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, pull over to play a few games of mahjong first, I have to say, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang are worthy of being brothers, the gambling game is wonderful and wonderful, a few mahjong games down, the two brothers broke the gold, and actually defeated Wei Chi Baolin and the descendants of the two Li families on the mahjong table, After winning about 200 times, after releasing his previous suspicions, Cheng Chuliang called his eldest brother for the first time that day, and Cheng Chumo knew that it was not a false compliment, but a real respect.
Since then, Cheng Chumo has pushed all the things of the business club to his younger brother, and Cheng Chuliang has lived up to expectations, and the club is well organized, and now he is ready to open a branch, with a goal of 30,000 yuan a month.
People have money and confidence, and now Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin, who are sitting on top of the horse and throwing money, are quite confident, and they don't care about these hundreds of texts at all, they just have a handful, and they attract the coaxing of everyone on the street.
Steward Liu sat on the wedding cart at the back, and saw Cheng Weichi and the others who had a lot of money in front of them, and they felt a pain in their flesh, and they scattered money for more than ten or ten dollars, but the master in front of him turned out to be hundreds of dollars, this is a lot of losers, and in the future, you have to let the master go away with these gentlemen, otherwise the family will be ruined by these guys sooner or later.
A unique scenery has been formed on the vast Suzaku Street, a welcoming procession, followed by a large group of people, all shouting 'congratulations on the wedding' and other words, every shout, you will hear the loud cheers of the crowd, and then there is a series of copper plates falling to the ground, you can see that the people who follow are all bending down to pick up something, and then hurriedly follow the team to continue shouting.
Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin were already red-eyed when they sprinkled money, one by one like sprinkling beans, and immediately the ** bags that were originally carrying two copper coins were now holding back at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the crowd at this time was also red-eyed, and some shouted "Congratulations on Young Master Cheng's wedding." There was a shout: "Young Master Wei Chi, congratulations on his wedding." "It's just that no one shouted congratulations to Xu Yang, and the two of them did the same thing this time.
Steward Liu hurriedly got off the float, walked to the front and leisurely and leisurely, looking at Xu Yang, who was in front of all living beings, he raised his head and said to Xu Yang on the horse: "Master Hou, it's not okay to lose money like this, you see that the money bags of both of them are almost finished." ”
Xu Yang just smiled when he heard this: "Money is something outside the body, Steward Liu, Chu Mo and Baolin's money will be added after scattering, and I will be happy to sprinkle it today!" After all, he also grabbed a handful of money and threw it into the crowd.
