Chapter 202: When the princess went to the night market, Fang Yu took a concubine
Fang Yu said: "There is one more thing I want to tell you, there is a seven-day holiday during the Spring Festival in the Northern Song Dynasty and a five-day holiday during the Spring Festival in the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, our restaurant will open on the first day of the first lunar month, please be prepared to be full of friends, maybe it will be bursting. ”
Fang Yu said: "The New Year's Eve we just talked about, in fact, strictly speaking, in the Song Dynasty, it was usually children who kept the New Year, but they went to bed early. ”
"Why is that?"
"Silly wife, the reason is very simple. ”
Fang Mei couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that on Chinese New Year's Eve, adults are going to snap?" Her words made the two laugh.
I only listened to Fang Yu's introduction, mainly speaking, there are actually four reasons. First, it's the New Year, children are excited and like, but adults are very tired after a busy day. Second, there are many rules for the New Year, and children don't understand it, which adds chaos to adults. It's best to let them get a good night's sleep. The best way to do this is to induce them to keep the New Year. Third, when adults go out to pay New Year's greetings, children will follow in a hurry, and where there are children to follow, the party being worshiped must give the child New Year's money in accordance with etiquette. In this way, the party of New Year's greetings does not look like a pure New Year's greeting, but it seems to take a child to ask for red envelopes everywhere, which is quite suspicious of melons and plums. However, if you don't bring your child, your child will cry, and the best way is to let your child stay up all night and fall asleep the next day. Fourth, from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the third day of the Lunar New Year, the imperial court lifted the ban, and the two sides of the official street were isolated from the toy stalls, candy stalls, snack stalls, and amusement parks that could not be seen at a glance with red lacquered wooden fences, which was a great temptation for children. In order to keep the copper coins in the wallet, the best way is still to let the child keep the New Year and not be able to get out of bed the next day.
However, the people of the Song Dynasty were very subtle, and they definitely did not explain these four "benefits" to their children clearly, they just insisted on spreading a folk proverb to their children for three hundred years: "Keep the winter master for a long life, and keep the old mother for a long life." "Not sleeping on the first night of the winter solstice can make my father live longer, and not sleeping on the first night of the new crown can make my mother live longer. My little darling, do you want Mom and Dad to live two more years? Then don't hurry up and keep the New Year!
Fang Mei laughed heartily: "Ah! I see! How do you know so much?"
Fang Yu said with a smile: "My master has a lot of miscellaneous books, I will take them when I am fine, they are all about to be rotted by me." ”
Fang Mei said: "But you didn't expect that one day, you would really be able to cross over." ”
Fang Yu said with a smile: "If I knew that this was the case, then I should have read more books on how to be an emperor." ”
Yu Yan said angrily: "You will be my husband obediently, I want to be the emperor, you are beautiful." ”
This seems to be a food street, with all kinds of dim sum snacks, unseen and unheard of. There are some strokes, four-color steamed buns, enema, enema, red ginger bean, jumping elbow, quail dumplings, coke hammer, mutton fat leek cake, spring cake, spinning cake, Chengsha dumplings, Yili Shao and offering glutinous cakes and so on. For Fang Mei, who has passed the pregnancy reaction period, it is tantamount to a mouse falling into a rice tank.
Looking at her gobbling up her food, the two children shouted that they wanted to eat it, and Yu Yan was also greedy, and bought a piece of mutton fat leek cake, which suddenly felt crispy and soft, and the fragrance was overflowing.
At this time, some people in the crowd recognized Yu Yan and shouted excitedly: "Princess!
Suddenly, the people knelt down and saluted, shouting in unison: "Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
This scene was something she had never experienced before, and she was initially surprised, and she was a little overwhelmed to see so many people kneeling and chanting Chitose.
"Get up, get up. "It's embarrassing for so many people to kneel.
So, wherever the princess passed, she took the initiative to give way to her, and the mutton fat leek cake she had just eaten immediately became a snack that the people competed to taste.
As a result, all the food she buys or the toys she buys for the children are not only free, but also become the target of everyone's competition.
"Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it, but I can't ask for your things for nothing. The so-called business letter is the foundation, and the buying and selling ceremony is the first. Yu Yan immediately took out the silver and paid for everything according to the market price.
"Business letter is the foundation, business etiquette first", this sentence quickly reached Song Huizong's ears and touched him greatly. Isn't such a strange woman with a great mind and beauty and wisdom exactly what he was looking for? He summoned Cai Jing overnight. Seeing that the emperor was obsessed with the woman in the people, Cai Jing's eyes rolled and he thought about it.
Song Huizong was known for his lust, and when he heard Cai Jing's suggestion, he frowned and hesitated. Cai Jing wrote: "Only by giving can you have gain." ”
Song Huizong waved his hand helplessly, sighed, and said, "Aiqing's words are reasonable, so let's do it with Aiqing's words." ”
But she said that Yu Yan came to the tailor shop again, and according to her custom, she chose a few bandeau and blouses of fine silk. Then I changed it in the tailor's shop, and the tailor who saw it was stunned. This princess is really informal, how to say that she is also a woman, so bold, she actually wears it here.
The typical attire of women in the Song Dynasty was "bandeau + gown". The so-called jacket is the most fashionable style of jacket in the Song Dynasty, with a straight collar and placket, two armpit slits, and the bottom is long above the knee. Women in the Song Dynasty used to wear a bandeau on their upper body, a gown on their coats, and their plackets hung down naturally, without ties or buttons, leaving them open, so the underwear between the chests was also slightly exposed.
Yu Yan's breasts are full and swollen, and the seductive "career line" is undoubtedly revealed. Fang Yu, who was watching, almost had a nosebleed.
With it in their hands and eating it in their mouths, the two children bounced home. The room was full of Wang Qing's laughter, and her luck seemed quite good today, and her front was already full of white silver.
Seeing them carrying a lot of things home, Fang Erhai smiled and said, "What are these things? ”
Li Xuan sneered: "People are the boss now, what do you care about spending this money?"
Fang Zhou frowned, he was a little unhappy about his wife's cynicism, Li Xuan pouted and shouted at Fang Zhou: "What kind of mahjong are you playing, you have lost everything." It's really boring, if you want TV and TV, if you want the Internet, you don't have anything, what kind of year, it's better to go to bed early!"
Fang Zhou snorted and said, "Don't come with you, you have to come with you, who is to blame? If you want to sleep, you go to sleep by yourself!"
"What are you yelling at me when you lose money?" Li Xuan turned around angrily and went back to the room.
Fang Mei smiled and said: "Mom, Dad, oh no, it's the Song Dynasty now, it should be called Dad, Mother! Don't you know, on the street, Xiaomei was recognized by the people as a princess, and thousands of people knelt down together, chanting Chitose, that scene is absolutely unimaginable." ”
Fang Erhai said: "Xiao Yan, come and tell me." ”
On Chinese New Year's Eve, although there are some discordant sounds, it is also very lively, and it is sleepless all night.
It was not until the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year that the whole family enjoyed themselves. When everyone was about to rest, they suddenly heard Gonggong Li shouting loudly outside: "The holy decree has arrived, and the princess of the Great Song Dynasty has received the decree!"
What's the situation, this early in the morning still doesn't let people sleep? Pushing the window, in the hazy sleepy eyes, Yu Yan was surprised to find that a big red sedan chair was separated by the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty. Wow, this gift is big enough, and it's still in a sedan chair! Could it be the emperor?
Hearing his wife's surprise, Fang Yu hurriedly ran to the window, he was also very surprised, shook his head and said, "This is not like the emperor, how can the emperor take a big red sedan chair?
"Don't talk nonsense. ”
"You see the big red sedan chair is ready, this is not to marry you, what are you here for?"
"If that's the case, we'll flee together. I won't marry that dog emperor if I die. ”
"You are my wife, my woman, let me watch you enter the sedan chair, am I still a man? I'm going to smash the sedan chair." ”
"Haven't you always been calm? Why did this become so impulsive? ”
"Do you have in your heart thinking of marrying him as an emperor?"
"Stop talking nonsense, I will always belong to you alone. ”
"Are we going to pretend to be arguing, are we going to act?"
"That's not necessary, I'm holding the handle of Gonggong Li, if he shakes out our affairs, he himself won't be able to die. Gonggong Li was afraid of death, so he categorically wouldn't tell the story. ”
Hearing that the emperor had a holy decree, the whole family dressed in a panic and hurried out.
I only heard Gonggong Li read: "At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed. In recognition of his merits, on the occasion of the New Year, I married my little daughter Zhao Lan'er to the chivalrous Fang Yu. The chivalrous warriors continue to fight bravely to kill the enemy, eliminate violence and peace, and protect my great Song Dynasty. Chin!"
"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live the emperor, long live, long live. ”
Li Gonggong said: "In addition, the emperor still has an edict. Weddings don't have to be big, everything is simple. In addition, the princess of the Great Song Dynasty was given 1,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of gold, and 1,000 pieces of silk and satin. ”
What kind of medicine is sold in this dog emperor's gourd? It used to be gold and silver, but now it is good, and he has given away all his daughters.
Li Gong said fairly: "The emperor's special servants are in charge of the wedding ceremony. In the words of the emperor, everything is simple, but there are still necessary rituals. ”
This greeting is not such a kind of greeting According to Fang Yu's knowledge, it is generally the groom who carries the sedan chair to the woman's house, but now it is good, the emperor directly sent his daughter to the door. There must be an article in this.
Yu Yan said softly: "You do what Gonggong Li wants, it's not too late for us to talk later." ”
I saw a woman coming down from the sedan chair, followed by "scattering grain beans", which is a kind of auspicious practice.
After the bride enters the church, it is the "chapel". The newlyweds hold the "concentric knot", which was called the "scarf" in the Song Dynasty. The newlyweds first worship heaven and earth and ancestors, and then enter the cave room, and the husband and wife worship. After the worship, the newlyweds sit on the bed and perform the ritual of "spreading the tent" and "closing the bun". The bun is the shape of the newlyweds cutting a strand of hair and forming a concentric knot as a token of the wedding.
Among them, the happiest and most excited is, of course, Wang Qing. It was a great honor to be able to marry the emperor's daughter, and she opened her mouth happily and smiled from ear to ear.
Yu Yan gradually became sad, in ancient times, after worshipping heaven and earth, they could be regarded as a formal husband and wife. Although she felt a little ridiculous, it seemed that this Zhao Lan'er was still very willing, and she didn't show any resistance from beginning to end. If her husband didn't hold back and made her fake, wouldn't he fall into the fire pit by himself?
Moreover, Wang Qing doesn't like herself so much, looking at her happy appearance, it seems that she still wishes there was such a play.
Of course, after that, there is also a ritual of removing flowers and fanning until the candle is extinguished. But the ceremonies after this were omitted, and now that the newlyweds had already worshiped and entered the cave room, their task was considered to have been successfully completed.
