Chapter 195: The big red sedan chair picks up the bride
Finally, Li Han was pushed out of the door and rode on a snow-white high-headed horse, which made him very surprised for a while, could it be that the words "Prince Charming" actually came from ancient China? Instead of the words that came from watching Disney cartoons and being bewitched by stories such as Cinderella Snow White?
Li Han's entourage was very impressive, there were 36 flag-holding guards in front of him, all of whom he brought back from the Huns, and after being contaminated with murderous aura, everyone looked extraordinarily aura.
Those flags are embroidered by embroiderers at home, according to Li Han's aesthetics, and they do not use the black background dedicated to the palace, but the big red bottom, embroidered with bright yellow words: "Shaofu Cheng", "Hairpin Jue", "Qin Ci Horse", the edge of the flag also has a circle of jagged bright yellow edges, which is illuminated by the rising sun, and the end is beautiful, and the atmosphere is graceful.
After relying on it, there were 36 musicians, and the ritual music of the Han Dynasty was already very popular, with silk, bamboo, cymbals, and cymbals, and the tune was a very lively and festive tune, but Li Han hummed it out, and let the Yuefu people under the jurisdiction of Shaofu figure out the score, and then taught these musicians to work overtime to study, and those musicians were very excited, and felt that it was very possible for such a tune to learn to feed them for a lifetime.
What tunes are so magical?
To put it bluntly, it is not unusual, that is, Li Han's grandmother in later generations likes Henan Henan Opera, and this song is the music of Zhou Fenglian when she got married in "Carrying a Sedan Chair".
Later, this piece of music turned out to be the ceremonial music of the magnates of Chang'an City when they got married, no less than the wedding march of later generations, which really made Li Han really proud.
Continuing to talk about the pomp and circumstance of the welcoming procession, behind the musicians, is our protagonist, the tall horse of Li Han, the horse Lang, next to him, are eight big men carrying a strange thing, and the other eight big men hang their hands on both sides. It's obviously a replacement for the other eight people, and what this thing is, we'll find out later.
Further back, there are 36 pretty maids, these people are responsible for greeting the princess's dowry maids, wearing a green short shirt and goose yellow skirt, which looks like a spring willow tree, which makes people feel a touch of surprise in the late autumn that is gradually declining.
Finally, there are the servants who do not see their heads at a glance. The dowry is neither gold nor silver, nor is there any rare treasure, but it is all rare things that Chang'an people have never seen, which arouses the admiration of onlookers from time to time.
In short, the pomp and circumstance of this team actually created the first luxury of the founding of the Han Dynasty.
Arrived at Weiyang Palace, at that time there was no rule that idle people were not allowed to enter the palace, a large number of people swaggered in, just at the end of the early dynasty, the ministers withdrew from the main hall. saw the shocking ultra-luxury wedding lineup, forgot their identity for a while, and stood there judging the dowry.
"Oh, what are these strange things for? It looks like a table and chair. But I've never seen it so high. ”
"Cut, you don't know that, do you? This is called the 'Eight Immortals Table' and 'Taishi Chair', and the soft satin short collapse with a backrest behind it is called a sofa, which are all furniture designed and made by Shaofu Cheng himself. Last time, the old man saw it in the Li family manor, and the queen mother liked the sofa very much. ”
"So, what's going on with the carriage behind here? Why does the axle frame look like it was made of bronze? Ah. This wheel is even stranger, it is not wooden, this ...... It's weird. ”
"Shaofu Cheng has an immortal master, who has passed on countless skills that ordinary people have never seen, and it is not strange to make such a strange thing, this kind of dowry is worthy of a princess."
"Hey, why is there a grain cart behind here? Using grain as a dowry is also a loss to Shaofu Cheng to think of. ”
"This is all something that His Majesty wants, this is a high-yield new grain seed cultivated by Shaofu Cheng, and the old man plans to buy some planting next year."
"So, what are the eight people around him carrying? It looks very strange. ”
"This ......" The minister who thought he had seen people was also stunned, scratched his head and said, "This old man has never seen it before." ”
Li Han is the groom's official today, and he enjoys privileges, looking at these people who are older than him, he doesn't need to dismount to salute, but just give his hand on the horse, and say "happy and happy" to the people who congratulate him.
Liu Lian didn't live early in the morning, she suffered a lot more than Li Han, from the old palace maid using two silk threads to twist the hair off her face for her, to being at the mercy of a puppet for an hour and a half, until she was dressed up as a live-action version of Wuxi mud doll.
The long black hair is high enough to complete a flying phoenix bun from top to bottom, and the left and right sides are full of golden hairpins, as if a miniature golden ladder is placed on both sides of the head, and a huge pink peony flower is placed in the center of the front, of course, it is made of silk.
When my aunt brought it for her, she also joked: "Chain, this flower is made by Ma Lang himself, saying that his daughter-in-law only has one kind of flower worthy of it, that is, the peony of the national color and fragrance, we haven't seen the peony flower yet, this is the feeling?" It's really graceful and beautiful. ”
Liu Lian's heart is so sweet, she doesn't know what love is, she only knows that when she thinks of Li Han, she is full of sweetness, and she can't help laughing, she doesn't know that this feeling is called happiness, but she is secretly happy about the fact that she is about to get married.
The body is full of red auspicious clothes, this dress is also the style designed by Li Han, the Li family embroiderer is done to send into the palace, the upper body is a big red short shirt with a diagonal placket, the front placket is embroidered with gold thread and the same peony as the hairpin on the top of the head, the lower body is a long skirt connected with eight pairs of brocade, each skirt is embroidered with a golden phoenix with a long tail, put on a walk, as if the body is surrounded by eight flying phoenixes.
As soon as the wedding dress was opened, the black piping collar skirt prepared by himself in the palace became a stall, looking at Liu Lian, who was full of red and golden light, the two married sisters were hot, and one complained about her mother, why didn't she think of using this kind of clothes when she got married?
Wang Wan is angry and funny, reprimanding the eldest daughter and the second daughter for not being lucky enough to find a clever husband like Li Han, who can blame her?
What Liu Lian likes the most is the pair of shoes sent by her husband's family, the shoes embroidered with red brocade are just that, the most important thing is that the soles are flat in front and high in the back, and when she tried them on, she caused all the women in the palace to scream, no one thought that the shoes were added with a high heel, which could make Liu Lian, who was like a wild boy, come out of a charming and seductive Tingting.
Immediately, Liu Lian was a kind of female dependent, whether it was a mother or a father's little wives. It was still her two sisters, who all grabbed her and screamed wildly, and her ears were almost deaf, and finally understood the common desire of the excited women - after marrying, she would contract all the shoes they wore for the rest of their lives.
At this moment, a joyful scream came from the door: "The concubine is here!" ”
Liu Lian's face was red, her legs were weak, and her body shook, the eldest sister Princess Pingyang hurriedly hugged her, and the second sister, Princess Nangong, hurriedly picked up the big red hijab with golden tassels sent by the Li family and covered her for her. The hijab is embroidered with a dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, all of which are said to be from the Li family, even Wang Wan feels novel, but he also feels that he is definitely worthy of his royal style, so he simply adopts it.
Li Han kowtowed to Wang Wan in accordance with the royal rules of welcoming relatives, and said: "The son of the princess Li Han thanks his father and queen mother for marrying the princess to me, and the child will definitely respect the princess, whether she is healthy or sick, whether she is beautiful or ugly." In this life, treat her as one. ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Wan even cried for her three daughters, and women all value feelings. It's romantic in his bones, who has ever heard such a touching confession when he got married? How blessed Lian'er is to find such a good husband.
So far, I have always felt that I can dominate the colt. And Lian'er needs to marry into a commoner's family as a daughter-in-law, and Nangong and Pingyang, who also marry two wives at the same time and feel superior, are secretly sour and jealous. I thought that although my husband was very docile in the princess's mansion, he was not all a gentleman who spent all day and wine when he went out of the mansion, how could he compare to the husband who was on the chain and was able to be civil and martial, and he was so affectionate.
Liu Lian was happy to blow up his chest, and was pulled out of his mother's harem by Li Han, slowly walked out of the door, and was hugged by Li Han in a strange small space, smaller than a carriage, after putting down the curtain, he heard someone shouting: "Get up the sedan chair!" In an instant, Liu Lian felt that his body was weightless for a while, and he was actually lifted up, and he couldn't help but be startled.
The Han Dynasty did not invent the sedan chair, it was Li Han who invented this means of transportation, the whole body of the sedan chair is wrapped in red brocade, inside is a high seat, also made of red silk, four wooden sticks crossed on both sides, also wrapped with red silk, eight strong guards Xuanyi big red belt, one person lifts one end, lifts the bride and strides out of the palace.
Where have the concubines seen such a lively, one by one chased far away, until they saw the ministers had not dispersed the team did not stop, Liu Qiyuan stood on the high steps of the main hall, looking at his daughter's marriage lineup, his heart was sour, he didn't want others to see him crying, and went into the hall with his hands behind his back.
The Li family fell into another hectic, that is, the other bride, Fang Yuxiu, had also freshened up and dressed up, and her whole body was the same as Liu Lian in the palace, but her eight Luo skirts were embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and the hijab on her head was the same, sitting in her small courtyard in the backyard, surrounded by her mother and sister, as well as the three sisters of the Ji family, nervously waiting for the auspicious time to come.
Finally, the earth-shattering firecrackers rang out at the door, and the firecrackers improved by Li Han were extraordinary, and the master of ceremonies shouted like a song: "The newcomer enters the door, auspicious!" ”
In the backyard, Ji Xiu and Ji Fei supported Fang Yuxiu left and right, and was about to walk to the front hall to worship together, but heard Li San shouting: "Bride, please wait, the groom will come to greet you immediately." ”
Everyone was stunned, Li Han said that he was going to marry the princess, and Fang Yuxiu walked to the front hall to worship together, why did he come to greet him again?
As soon as the words fell, a team of blowing and beating appeared, and another big red sedan chair was carried to the door, Li Han strode over, saw Fang Yuxiu with a hijab, walked over and took his hand and said, "Lady, I'm here to pick you up." ”
Fang Yuxiu was almost dizzy with happiness, but she was still worried about Li Han's safety, and whispered: "You didn't pick up the princess, why did you come to me again, don't make the princess unhappy on the first day." ”
Li Han smiled and said: "It's all my wife, of course you can't favor one over the other, you can't get to the point where our hair is gray, and I didn't let you sit in a sedan chair with your ears." ”
Fang Yuxiu smiled happily, and suddenly felt that her body was floating, and in the laughter of the sisters, she was stopped by Li Han and carried into the sedan chair, and it also arrived at the front yard with a sound of "getting up the sedan chair".
But it turned out that the princess's sedan chair stopped on the left side and did not help the bride get off the sedan chair, waiting for this sedan chair to stop on the left side, Li Han stood in the middle, and the master of ceremonies shouted: "The newlyweds get off the sedan chair, and the door is full of longevity!" ”
A few brides smiled and went up, and took out a bride from the left and right sedan chairs, a red ribbon was stuffed into the bride's hand, very long, holding a red flower in the middle, and the other end was held in Li Han's hand, he held a ribbon on the left and right, which was equivalent to holding a bride, and walked into the auditorium along the red carpet.
At the top, there are Ji Fan's husband and wife, and a little below, Fang Yue and his wife and Li Wanguan Tao are sitting, they are all considered high-level, and Xizizi accepted the visit of three newcomers.
Finally, the ceremony was completed, the lively wedding banquet was skipped, and the night was dark, how did the groom spend the night of the two brides? (To be continued......)
