Chapter 54 The Mandarin Duck in the Past Life is Scattered in This Life
Liu Yu was too obsessed with officialdom in his previous life, and he had several girlfriends but never married, but he didn't expect to experience the act of being a groom and starting a family for the first time in this strange ancient world.
In ancient times, Liu Yuben didn't think it was unusual, and his impression should be that he got married in three books and six chapels, but he didn't expect that the marriage customs of the Dashun Dynasty were different.
The dress was sent by the Ministry of Rites personally, after all, it was a marriage given by the emperor, and the "matchmaker" was the Son of Heaven, and the marriage of the Son of Heaven was presided over by the Ministry of Rites. The wedding dress is not red in Liu Yu's impression, but black, and even the belt is black.
The ceremony officially begins the day before the wedding, and the man's family, that is, the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, holds a ceremony to worship the ancestors of the groom.
Although Liu Yu is a concubine, he may not be able to enter the ancestral hall after his death, but because it is the emperor's marriage, the situation is very different, and all the specifications are made according to the pomp of the concubine. Liu Yu needs to wear a ceremonial dress, under the witness of the whole family, men, women and children, kneel to the ancestors, and then his father Liu Zhao personally brought him a crown, and placed the marriage book on the ancestral tablet in the ancestral hall, in order to seek the blessing of the ancestors of the Liu family for this marriage.
At the end of the ancestor worship, the male family should set up a family banquet to invite the family elders first. This is the first time that the Dingguo Marquis Mansion held a family banquet for Liu Yu, Liu Yu, as the protagonist, actually has to do is toast, drink it in a circle, his head is also covered, and he returns to his house and sleeps until the next day.
The official wedding banquet was not held in the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, but in the mansion given to Liu Yu by the emperor. However, the organizer is still the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, but the cooks, slaves, tables, chairs and benches have been moved, and the original team has moved over.
The formal wedding banquet starts at noon, and there is a banquet in the flowing water, and there is a town of Dingguohou, and there are not a few officials and relatives who come to celebrate. Liu Yu dressed neatly and followed behind Liu Zhao, and went to toast one by one. The old man only cared about his face and didn't care if this son could bear it, so he went to salute one by one, but fortunately, Liu Wu, who was in charge of pouring wine for Liu Yu, was alert and mixed Liu Yu with water, which was basically one percent wine and ninety percent water, but after such a respect, Liu Yue was not only dizzy and dizzy, but also anxious to drink.
Liu Yu was really annoyed with Liu Zhao, seeing that the important officials were all respected, it was still endless. Liu Yu found an excuse to retreat, and said to his sister Liu Jue at the second table, and took Liu Jue and his little nephew Cao Zhan to the back hall, and Liu Yu set up a table alone in the back hall, inviting all very good friends, Sui Yi, Li Mi, Hu Xuan, Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu, who had a lifelong friendship, originally wanted to invite Han Sheng, but unfortunately couldn't find anyone, and the Han sisters hid in the room and didn't come out. As for Su Yan, he is still thinking about the expiration behind closed doors, and he is just exempted.
As soon as they entered the back hall, a group of people got up to greet each other, and it was nothing, but Qi Fang suddenly saluted Liu Jue and said, "Miss Liu, don't come unharmed." ”
Liu Yuxin said that it is difficult to be an old acquaintance? Looking at Liu Jue again, his head was also lowered, and he was a little twisted, obviously an old acquaintance. The heart said that there was a play for matchmaking.
"Brother Liu, you're fine, right?" Sui Yi saw that Liu Yu's face was flushed, thinking that he was drinking high, and asked with concern.
"It's okay," Liu Yue first let his sister Liu Jue and his little nephew sit down, and sat down at the table himself, "After drinking the wine mixed with water, I just had a feeling and wanted to come out of Gong." ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
Hu Xuan was puzzled and asked, "Brother Liu, why don't you see ...... Sister-in-law? ”
Li Mi next to him patted his head and said, "You kid, you don't understand, right?" The rule of the wedding is that the man's family can not go to the woman's house to pick up the bride after sunset. I guess my sister-in-law is in a hurry, and I can't wait for it to get dark. ”
Everyone got up to toast Liu Yu to celebrate his wedding, this time Liu Yu drank not wine mixed with water, it was real, fortunately, the degree of wine was not high, and he could bear it.
In front of so many officials and relatives he didn't know outside, Liu Yu was still a little restrained, but he was able to let go in the back hall. During the joke, Liu Yu first introduced Liu Jue and his little nephew to everyone, and heard that it was Liu Yu's sister who was a fellow mother, and everyone was humble and polite, and cleaned up their indulgent temperament a little.
Sui Yi suddenly got up behind Liu Yu and whispered, "Brother Liu, the gift that my junior brother prepared for you is ready, do you want to take a look now?" ”
Liu Yu observed carefully, and these people did not bring any bright gifts, indicating that the gifts were all carried in their arms, so as not to be too "sensational".
"What are you waiting for, bring it." Liu Yuyi stretched out his hand and said.
Sui Yi smiled evilly and took out two books from his arms, two booklets to be precise, and put them in Liu Yu's hands.
"You still learn the ...... literati" Liu Yu opened the booklet, and suddenly stopped talking, where is this what "literati" should give, it is clearly two vivid Spring Palace booklets. The poses on it are really varied, and there are a lot of annotations on the side. Liu Jue also wanted to see what it was, but he only caught a glimpse of the corner, so he sat down again with a red face.
Sui Yi smiled: "This is the latest version of Chang'an City, you may not be able to buy it if you have money, I think Brother Liu is too serious on weekdays, I'm afraid you are inexperienced, I thought...... It should be used. ”
Liu Yu picked up the book and wanted to shoot Sui Yi, but he didn't expect Sui Yi to be very clever to dodge, at this time Cao Zhan jumped over and said: "Uncle, uncle, what book Cao Zhan also wants to read, yesterday my mother also taught Zhan'er to learn words." ”
Liu Yu touched his little nephew's head and said, "If you want to learn the characters, my uncle will send you a few good books, this kind of book...... Uh-huh, you can't see it. ”
Hu Xuan's gift was relatively simple, he carved a small wooden plaque with the words "Tie the knot", Zhang Wuzhu gave a saber from the Western Regions, and Qi Fang gave a piece of jade. Liu Yu looked at Li Mi in the end, and said in his heart that the gift was given by him and Sui Yi Zhang Luo, Sui Yi didn't send good things, and he couldn't get any better.
"Look at me!"
Li Mi took out his gift from his arms, which was not unusual, but it was just four red ropes, Liu Yu took it and pulled it, and it was quite elastic. Liu Yuxin said that this gift was too unexpected, just like the congratulatory gift given by the fourth princess Su Bi, a little shabby.
"What is this?" Liu Yu asked.
Li Mi and Sui Yi had already begun to snicker, and Zhang Wuzhu next to him was sincere and explained: "This old Zhang Zhilu said, if the little bitch who picks up guests for the first time in the Qinglou is disobedient, he will be tied to the four corners of the bed by the old bustard with this 'horse head rope'...... Still not doing whatever you want? ”
This joke is too vulgar, after all, Liu Jue is still with his son. Being said like this, Liu Jue blushed with shame, and used the excuse of sending Cao Zhan to the toilet to avoid for a while.
Qi Fang saw Liu Jue walking away with his son, and complained, "Eldest brother, why don't you watch the time?" ”
Zhang Wuzhu touched his face, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I forgot that there are still female dependents......
Liu Yu took advantage of his sister's departure, and pulled Qi Fang aside to ask him about his relationship with Liu Jue.
Qi Fang lowered his head and said with a slight sadness: "A few years ago, I served under the Hou Yejun, and I went to the mansion to do business, and I met Miss Liu by chance...... It is also considered to have some origins, and the Hou Ye also intended to match. It's a pity that Hou Ye was disappointed in Zai Xia and married Miss Liu to someone else. ”
Liu Yuxin said that it was no wonder that it seemed a little strange for the two to meet, it turned out to be good friends. I can't help but feel more nostalgic for Liu Zhao in my heart, just relying on his stubborn temper to break up this good marriage, Qi Fang is loyal, and he is good at writing and martial arts and knows the art of war, which can be said to be the choice of a good son-in-law, which is much better than the brother-in-law surnamed Cao who hung up early that Liu Yu heard about.
"My sister's life is not good, and she will be widowed when she gets married, do you still have the intention of marrying this family?"
"This ...... I'm afraid not. Qi Fang was surprised by Liu Yu's words.
"What, you think my sister has been married?"
Qi Fang sighed: "It's not, Miss Liu's character and talent are all excellent, and Qi can't climb high, even if she has a heart...... Hou Ye has too deep prejudices against him, I'm afraid he ......"
Liu Yue understood that he was worried about his father, and Lang You's concubine intended to give up just because of the old stubborn obstruction, and he was too sorry for Liu Jue's careful care.
"Don't worry, I will persuade my father to agree to this family affair when I turn around." Liu Yu said, "When I go back, I also ask my sister what she means." ”
Liu Yuxin said that things always have to be asked to both parties, but looking at her sister's reaction, most of them are willing to continue the front edge.
Seeing that it was dusk, Liu Yue knew that it was time to pick up the bride.
