Chapter 179: Marriage (II)
It didn't take long for Mi Zhen's car to come to Tianfu, and Tian Fan, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't immediately step forward and ask the bride to get out of the car. The things that the bride's family escorted, and the people who accompanied them, continued to enter Tianfu, and in the end, only Mi Zhen's car was left, lonely at the gate.
This is to kill the bride's sharpness, so that she can accept the squeamishness when she was a girl, be an honest daughter-in-law in the future, honor her in-laws, and so on.
After a while, after the master of ceremonies prompted that the time was up, Tian Fan went out to welcome the bride with a veil into the house.
After passing the brazier, crossing the threshold, and accepting the layers of difficulties of the guests, finally, Tian Fan sent the bride to the main hall!
In the main hall, many guests with status sat in peace, and on the main seat, Tian Liang and Zhang sat still.
The wedding begins!
First of all, Tian's mother lifted the light veil of Mi Zhen's cover, and in the bursts of congratulations or congratulations from the guests, or the sound of coaxing, Tian Fan, who was happy to be Taotao, and Mi Zhen, who was shy and embarrassed, had a husband and wife salute.
Under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, the two sat down opposite each other on both sides of the main table to complete the first step of the wedding, which is "opposite the table"!
The second step is the "Wo Lu" ceremony! Wo Lu means to wash the face and wash the hands, which means to wash away the dust and wish to live a relaxed life after marriage.
The third step is to "share the same prison" ceremony! "Duyi" said: "Eat together, drink together, so the body is the same as the humility, and the relatives are also." "There are three kinds of meat dishes on several cases. These meat dishes are called "prisons". The food customs of that era were similar to today's meal sharing system, with one serving per person for each type of food. Therefore, before the bride and groom, the staple food of millet and millet is one serving, as well as one serving of sauce, squirrel, rice and rice for seasoning. But the wedding is special. There is only one serving of meat dishes, which is placed between the meals of two people, and is eaten by the bride and groom together, which is called "eating together in prison"
The fourth step is the "merger" ceremony! The ancients wanted to "drink" after eating, that is, to rinse their mouths with wine, not only to clean the mouth, but also to have the effect of eating well. There are three times of "酳", which is called "three 酳". In the wedding, the three-wine vessel was used for the first two times and the last time. The so-called 卺 is a scoop that is cut into two pairs, and the husband and wife each hold a piece and drink, drink half of it, and drink the other half after exchanging it, which is called "drinking together". The scoop is bitter, and the wine is sweet, which means that the two will share the joys and sorrows together from now on, and make joy in the bitterness.
The fifth step, the "untying" ceremony, is that the groom unties a bunch of red tassels on the bride's head.
In the sixth step, the "hair knotting" ceremony, the praiser, that is, the master of ceremonies, cuts off a lock of hair from each of the husband and wife, hands it over to the bride, ties it with the red tassel untied by the groom, and keeps it.
The seventh step, the "hand-holding" ceremony, is guided by the praiser, who places the bride's hand in the groom's hand and chants: "Death and life are broad, and the son is said." Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. Yu is broad, not I live. Yu Xun Xi, I don't believe it. ”
In the last step, under the guidance of the praiser, the two bowed to Tian Fan's father and mother!
Finally, it was over, and the praiser's voice said, "Rite is completed, the bride and groom enter the cave room!" ~~~", Tian Fan and Mi Zhen entered the cave room together!
At this point, the wedding is completed, and it's time to make a hole in the room!
Among the various etiquettes in the haunted cave room, the most important is the "tent" ceremony! It is somewhat similar to many parts of the north today, where the bride and groom sit in front of the couch, and the two of them wear their clothes. The groom's left placket is a foot, pressing the bride's right placket with a foot, which means that the groom wants to press the bride's head, and after that, people sprinkle jujubes, longan, chestnuts and other things on the bride and groom. It means to give birth to a noble son early, and of course, it also has the meaning of warding off evil spirits. The more you receive, the more children you will have in the future!
And then there's the crazy fun! The custom of haunting the cave house originated in the Han Dynasty, and it became popular and crazy at an unconventional speed! Its playfulness is so fierce that it is difficult for modern people to reach, and at this time, the taboos on etiquette and personal safety seem to be non-existent! Only in the Han Dynasty, the groom has been killed, and the bride has not known how many have been taken advantage of! …,
There is an unwritten rule that the bride and groom must not be angry, regardless of how the guests make a fuss.
Fortunately, the identities of Tian Fan and Mi Zhen were there, and the guests didn't dare to be too embarrassed for them, and they finally passed without danger!
Then, Tian Fan left Mi Zhen and went out to deal with the guests by himself!
So, under the indiscriminate bombardment of everyone infected by the festive atmosphere, Tian Fan's newly awakened drunkenness quickly reached the cordon!
Fortunately, Liu Bei hadn't left yet, he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, don't delay the Boguang Cave Room!" ”
Since Liu Bei spoke, everyone naturally stopped, but there were still people who were not happy, the bride let you marry, and you didn't have to drink too much wine, why did all the good things happen to you? No, it won't work!
I don't know which of the smoky lords shouted loudly, "Make a poem!" Otherwise, I won't let you go! When the crowd heard this, they immediately began to coax! Liu Bei, as well as a few old masters, also smiled and watched the excitement, yes, Tian Fan was forced into a corner again!
At this moment, Tian Fan already has eight points of alcohol, let alone let him compose poems on the spot, even if he plagiarizes, he can't copy it! Shaking his head, which was getting more and more dizzy, he raised his hands and said loudly: "Poetry, if you are not good at it!" However, today is a day of great joy, and since you have an invitation, you naturally cannot refuse! How about a song that I want to dedicate to you? ”
Liu Bei, Lu Bu and others have all heard his songs, and when they heard this, everyone applauded!
So, in the eyes of everyone's expectation, Tian Fan cleared his throat in a half-drunk and half-awake state, and sang "Red Face" with a twisted voice!
Sword boiled wine tasteless drink a glass for whom
You bid me farewell, you bid me farewell
The crimson fragrance can love and cannot give
How long the sky is and how far away the earth is
If you are a hero, you are destined to have no tears and no regrets
How dangerous this laugh is to wear intestinal poison
Only you know how beautiful these tears are
It's ridiculous that this heart doesn't live as you live
I don't want a name in this life
Just want to get a smile in exchange
If this time can still be reincarnated
I would like to be a cow and a horse in the next life
and be with you at the end of the world
Hu Yanbin's song must be sung with a twisted voice!
Tian Fan was just forced to be helpless, and randomly found a song that was right next to his mouth to sing. And everyone at the scene listened, and their ideas were different!
Some people think that Tian Fan is too childlike and has no ambitions! Some people think that Tian Fan is a lover and can be made!
Lu Bu smiled, hehe, it turns out that Tian Fan is really a lover, it seems that his daughter follows him, not a loss! Liu Hong is mixed, Cai Yan follows him, it seems to be good, but it's a pity, this son is extremely talented, but he has no ambitions, I'm afraid that in the end, there won't be much achievement!
Liu Bei is also very happy, hehe, Boguang does not take power, he has the ability, this song, he sang it in a drunken state, the so-called drunk spit out the truth! For Tian Fan's growing influence in Xuzhou, it is impossible not to worry about a male lord like Liu Bei, although he trusts Tian Fan very much! From this song, it can be seen that Boguang doesn't like power arts, so he has to be beautiful, so his subordinates can rest assured! Well, I'm not afraid of his meritorious service in the future, even if he makes great contributions, just reward him with a few more beauties!
In other words, from the time of crossing to the present, there are two things that have had the greatest impact on Tian Fan! One is the two conversations with Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong, and Sima Hui, and one is the song "Red Face" sung at this wedding! The influence of the former is slowly becoming prominent, and the influence of the latter will continue until his influence develops to the point that even Liu Bei is afraid!
Finally, after sending the guests away, Tian Fan came to the outside of the cave room with a bit of wine.
At the door of the cave room, several maids and maids waited quietly, and when they saw him coming, they hurriedly saluted, and after that, a servant woman said, "Please have a good rest for the son and the young lady!" After speaking, she smiled and led a few people to open the door, but did not go away. …,
Tian Fan also knew what they were doing! Husbands and wives often have to wash their bodies before they can sleep, and their responsibility lies here! Although he didn't fit in, he could ...... I can't say no!
After a while, he let out a breath of turbidity, pushed open the hidden door, and entered the cave room step by step under the worried eyes of the two bewildered dowry girls.
The two maids hurriedly stepped forward, helped him up, and led him to the seat in front of the desk.
Tian Fan grabbed the water on the table, took a sip, glanced at the two girls, and said, "You guys go out!" ”
Strictly speaking, Mi Zhen's dowry girl is actually four people, in addition to the two in front of her, there are also Fangcao and Guizhi that have long been booked for Tang Yi and Tang Er!
The marrying girl is actually the girl in the same room, and their responsibility is to warm the bed for the aunt and sleep with the aunt! When the aunt and the girl were there, they waited on the side, responsible for wiping sweat, cleaning up the bed and something. If the uncle's firepower is too fierce and the bride can't bear it, they have to do it! And if the girl comes to menstruation and it is inconvenient, they have to do the same! All in all, they are the girl's stand-ins, and when the girl is unable to complete the task, or it is inconvenient, they take the girl's place and exercise the responsibility of being a wife!
In other words, they are also Tian Fan's people!
However, they are only little girls who are less than fifteen years old, although they understand their responsibilities, and they also know that once they are fortunate by Tian Fan and are pregnant with a man and a woman, then the black chicken will become a phoenix, but after all, they are young and a little overwhelmed! There is a little uneasiness in the apprehension, and there is a trace of expectation in the uneasiness, which is the truest portrayal of their mood at this time!
Hearing Tian Fan let them leave, they were suddenly a little at a loss, and after the two glanced at each other, a girl asked timidly, "Childe, are you letting us out?" ”
Tian Fan nodded and said, "Not bad!" Go out, it's just me and Zhen'er tonight! Don't worry, I won't touch you, in the future, I will find a good family and marry you! ”
The two of them immediately panicked, they quickly knelt down and cried, "Childe, did we do something wrong?" Why have you forsaken us? ”
Tian Fan shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with you, this is something that Zhen'er and I have discussed a long time ago!" ”
Mi Zhen said softly: "Xiaolian Xiaohe, don't panic, this matter is indeed something that Brother Tian Fan and I have discussed a long time ago!" You can rest assured, Brother Tian Fan and I will find a trustworthy family and marry you! ”
The two of them were relieved, in other words, they were self-aware, and they knew that there were many women in Tian Fan's family, and they couldn't rank at all, if they were accepted by Tian Fan, they were afraid that they wouldn't have any prominent status! Rather than this, it's better to find a good family to marry!
After thanking him, the two went out of the house and closed the door with a feeling of extreme contradiction!
ps: The etiquette of the Han Dynasty wedding is really complicated, there is very little information, I just try my best, if there are any mistakes or omissions, please forgive me.
