Compared with the marriage letter, the female family also has a marriage letter corresponding to it:

On September 2, the second year of Kaiyuan, Yan Yedun was the first to start: obediently exhibited for a long time, and admired only the accumulation. Insult a certain month and day, and use consolation to prolong it. Meng Chun is still cold, what is it like in his body? May the building be restless, the name is all bad, the words are still left, and the only thing is to increase the admiration. May it be respected. I would like to return the blank book. Yan Ye was stunned.

Yan Xin: The third daughter of the Yan family of Chang'an Shengye Fang; The four virtues are unheard, and there are no idle etiquette; Chengxian is good at marrying and does not dare to disobey. Yanye.

The envelope of the Wei Mansion Marriage Book is inscribed with two lines: "Puzhou County Wei Shi Zhi Bai Shu respectfully Tong Yan surname Xue Wanggong", and under the "County Name White Book", it is also indicated that "Ruozun predecessors, that is, Yun Puzhou County Xun Guo Gong Wei Zhi". The predecessor refers to the recipient of the book, that is, the woman's parents, and the county refers to the county, which means that in order to show respect for the other party, the man's parents must not only call their own county, but also add the official name. In this way, the official family is equally important, on the one hand, it is equivalent to calling the other party "surnamed Gong", and on the other hand, it also means that his identity is worthy of the other party, giving the other party enough face. However, the marriage answer letter is under the title "Chang'an Xue Wang Yanye replied respectfully to return the seal of His Excellency Wei Shi Xunguo Gong" under the "name of a certain official and county", indicating that "the predecessor is inferior and does not need a certain official", this predecessor naturally refers to the original man who proposed marriage, which means that if the man's parents are small or have no officials, the woman's parents cannot sign their own official names, so as not to appear to be oppressive. In addition to deliberately respecting the other party, this way of signing also seems to imply that the door is right.

The letter containing the wedding book is also particular: it must be on good paper, and it must be written in regular letters, and it should be rolled tightly in the letter. The letter is made of catalpa wood, boxwood, nanmu, etc. The length of the letter is one foot and two inches, the width of the letter is one inch and two minutes, the thickness of the letter board is two points, the thickness of the cover is three points, and the width of the letter is eight minutes.

The marriage letter is in duplicate, and the male and female families each hold one, which is the end of the ceremony, but King Qi instigated King Xue to let Chang'an County Order write another certificate as the official marriage letter.

This Tang law, but the people have been saved, and the government also acquiesced that this book does not need to be necessary, but King Qi mentioned that Dugu Xinci, who is the Ming Mansion of Wannian County, is not easy to shirk, so he wrote two letters after thinking about it.

"The marriage of two surnames, a contract, a good relationship forever, matching the same name. Look at the peach blossoms burning on this day, it is appropriate to have a room for IKEA; The melons are long, and the Erchang is blazing. I would like to take the covenant of the white head, and write to the Hongjian, so that the alliance of red leaves will contain the mandarin spectrum. This certificate. Wannian County Dugu Xinci"

It was very warm and romantic, and attracted everyone to applaud in unison.

"This book should be used as a model text for marriage letters," King Qi praised.

"Tang Law Shuyi" volume 13 "Household Marriage Law" has "All the women who are allowed to marry, have reported marriage and have a private contract, and those who repent, will have sixty rods." This article said: "If the woman who is allowed to marry and has reported the marriage, it is said that the man's family sends a letter to the courtesy, and the woman's family answers the letter Xu Qi." It can be seen that the marriage certificate is used as a certificate of formal marriage between the two parties and a marriage contract that must be observed, and can even be used as a legal basis, and such a marriage certificate must be carefully kept by both men and women.

Dugu Xinci laughed, smiled and took Cheng Yi handed by Xue Wangye himself.

Then there is the invitation period, that is, the sixth day of the ninth month after three days is set as the day of welcome, which is an extraordinary time, and it is not set according to the usual January period.

King Xue was very generous, leaving a part of the dowry, and added a few cars of return gifts, when he came, it was one hundred and eight, and when he went back, it was also one hundred and eight, and he did not show that the marriage of the two families was equal.

So it was another mighty convoy that made a detour back to Anxingfang's Xunguo Mansion.

Although it was only welcomed in person three days later, the Xunguo Mansion was already full of guests, and most of the Puzhou Weishi had come to congratulate, and the noise was extraordinary.

In the next three days, the Kaiyuan Miscellaneous Newspaper opened a column to report on the marriage between the Xunguo Mansion and the Xue Wangfu.

Shape head Wen Yu Wen Dalang poetry:

"Jia Puppet Tiancheng worships the Jade Hall, competing to see the lady with the fairy,

Synthesize the parrot in front of the respect, and blow the flute on the stage to attract the phoenix;

Huayue reunion in addition to the treasure fan, Xiangyun Na Dou new makeup,

Because of the wind rumors Zhang Jingzhao, the Japanese painting Spring Mountain is a little long. ”

Wei Erlang is the eye of the example, and the next is the blessing poem of Tanhua Dugu's heart:

The spring light enters the window curtains, dyes the warbler branches, and embroiders roses.

The magpie came to the door, stumbling and urging the two hearts.

It is agreed that once in a thousand years, the sky will testify, and the earth will be the medium.

Ying Yinglian took a fine step, dotted her lips, and painted her eyebrows.

Ten miles of red makeup, suona blow to your heart's content.

The sedan chair gongs and drums follow side by side, the full moon dream, and the colorful clouds chase.

Wang Wei and Wang Saburo also have verses:

The curtain is fragrant and the duck floats, and the dressing table is full of moon and night.

The flowers bloom and shake the golden house, with a knot of concentric jade hooks.

Yang Qiugoro's verse cloud:

Jiafu Tiancheng worships the jade hall, competing to see the lady with the fairy,

Synthesize the parrot in front of the honor, and blow the flute on the stage to attract the phoenix.

Zu Yongliulang also wrote a poem:

The cross-necked bird between the warm flowers in spring, the lotus under the high moon in autumn,

Luo Wei tent is concentric knotted, and ten thousand wisps of tenderness are strong.

Even Du Fu sent his blessings to his second uncle:

Jingxing shines in the boudoir, auspicious days and good days,

The treasure is happy to fish in water, and the full moon flower is good for the long sky.

Kaiyuan Miscellaneous Newspaper has been able to distribute about 100,000 copies per issue, and the current political news is a must for Yantang officials to read every morning, and the business summary makes businessmen look forward to it every day; Legends and dance texts are the favorites of scholars and ladies in the boudoir; Wuju odds and juju gambling are a must-see for gamblers.

On the fifth day of the ninth month, the saint has not yet entered the city, but the wedding banquet of Xue Wangfu and Xunguo Mansion has entered a good situation, and today is the day when Xue Wangfu sends a dowry.

At the time of the fifth watch, Wei Kang and Dugu Xinci, as well as Wen Yu, Wang Wei, Yang Qiu and other male bridesmaids ate Xiangxian soup and fruit, and the Wei family offered sacrifices to the "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher" in the hall with a full pair of pigs and sheep or five animal blessings and fruits, commonly known as Xiangxian.

Then there was a mighty wave of hundreds of people wearing red and hanging colors to parade around the street to Shengye Fang, in fact, the horns of the two houses were almost audible.

The process of welcoming the dowry is also exquisite, first to send the sedan chair to bear, the Xunguo Mansion first sent 2 geese, meat L, 2 fish, indicating the hard work of the sedan chair man who sent the dowry.

Then go to the hall of King Xue's mansion to see the dowry, the man goes to the woman to move the dowry (dowry), and the woman puts the dowry in the hall for people to watch, called "looking at the dowry". The utensils are draped with red threads, the clothes are scented with sandalwood, and several silver dollars are placed at the bottom of the box, commonly known as "pressing the box money". The dowry is moved to the man and displayed in the hall for people to see, also called "watching the dowry". The grandmother takes the woman's key bag and takes the key to open the box, commonly known as "digging the box".

Even if Dugu Xinci and Wei Kang were prepared, they were dumbfounded when they saw the dowry of Xue Wang's Mansion full of courtyards, and the dowry of Xue Wangfu was two hundred, Wei Kang frowned, but Dugu Xinci smiled and persuaded him to earn it, and Wei Kang smiled bitterly.

But seeing that the thirty-six heads were hung with the red silk tie dowry with the words "Imperial Gift", Wei Kang was helpless, this was the sage's intention.

So a mighty procession of nearly 3,000 people set out, led by the three princes of Xian, Shen, and Qi, followed by the blowing class, followed by thirty-six royal dowries, of course, all pulled by carriages, escorted by eight people. Behind it is the donations of the three princes and princesses, all of which are eight, and the rest are from King Xue's mansion.

The people of Chang'an have really seen the situation of ten miles of red makeup this time, not only ten miles, from Shengye Fang to Chunming Avenue and then from the imperial city of Daming Palace to Anxing Fang, more than 20 miles, the three princes entered the Xunguo Mansion, and the Dugu Xinci and Wen Yu who pressed the formation were still drinking tea.

The Xunguo Mansion also placed the dowry in front of the hall for people to visit.

Dugu smiled and looked at the list of dowries with the brothers who had not gathered for many days, and the first paper was extremely happy.
