Chapter 20: The Wedding IV
(The relevant information of the wedding ceremony comes from the "Xishan Qin Anthology")
The waiters, dressed in peach-colored half-arm skirts with crossed collars and printed shawls on a white background, led Xie Junfeng and Li Fengyin, who were dressed in full costumes, forward.
In such a quiet night, the candles in the lanterns are scattered in a dim color, as if lingering in the starlight in the darkness, so in such a staggered light and shadow, people seem to have traveled through three thousand years!
"Mandarin ducks are flying, and they are Luo. A gentleman for ten thousand years, Fu Lu should be.
The mandarin duck is on the beam, and the left flank is on the left. A gentleman for ten thousand years, it is advisable to be blessed.
Ride a horse in the stable, destroy it. Ten thousand years for a gentleman, Fu Lu Ai.
Riding a horse in the stable, the straw destroys it. Ten thousand years for a gentleman, Fu Lu Suizhi. ”
This is a poem that has been circulated in the land of China for more than 3,000 years, in addition to expressing the praise of love and loyalty, there is also an infinite longing for married life!
With the recitation of "The Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Mandarin Ducks", people seemed to hold their breath and watched the newcomers join hands on stage with wide eyes!
In order to maintain the solemnity and mystery of the wedding, no one except a professional photographer held up his mobile phone to photograph the wedding.
Even the children, who are usually mischievous, blinked their curious eyes and watched the people on the stage slowly walk forward.
The ceremony was held in the center of the banquet so that guests from all over the world could watch the ceremony on the stage, and there was also a projection screen for guests to see the details of the wedding.
I saw that there were steps in the cloud bun swaying with pearles, peach blossoms fluttering with spring at the skirt, and a breeze surging with determination between the lotus steps!
Su Min was affected by the inexplicable romance brought by the solemn environment, looking at Xie Junfeng and Li Fengyin walking hand in hand on the stage, she suddenly had a trance feeling in her heart, making her feel like a cloud floating in the air.
It seems that the people around have disappeared, only the mysterious red glow, only the brilliant starlight, and only the dancing candle flame are witnessing the vows that this pair of lovers are about to make a lifelong vow!
I saw the waiters carrying lanterns slowly disperse and stop at the edge of the stage, continuing to carry lanterns to decorate this romantic stage.
The waiters, holding the utensils, after placing the wine and food, chopsticks, knives and cutting boards on the table, also slowly retreated to the edge of the stage, leaving only the messenger with utensils, the praiser dressed in Xuanduan, and the slightly nervous bride and groom.
From time to time, a breeze pours in, gently swinging the waiters' dresses, making people feel like they are in a heavenly palace, but there is a bit of reality in the ethereal space.
With the power of the camera, people can see that three portions of cut meat are placed on the table, one each of rice, meat sauce, sauce, and gravy.
The utensils were two small basins with water, two wooden plates with small scissors and red string, two empty plates, two empty wine glasses and two empty cups with residual wine, and one melon tied with red rope.
In addition, two red towels were placed next to the basin to wipe off the hands after the prayer.
The wo ceremony is a symbolic hand cleansing ceremony before the bride and groom enter the table, and these utensils need to be sorted out through the relevant materials.
The wedding scene was dressed up solemnly and romanticly, and the wedding utensils were also a little dazzling, it seems that Xie Junfeng has also spent a lot of effort to prepare for a long time!
It's no wonder that he wants to hold a traditional wedding, deep down in his heart, he wants to give himself and Li Fengyin the most memorable night!
The admirer is a dignified-looking middle-aged woman, she stands upright in the center of the stage, one hand elegantly placed on the dantian, and a dignified smile on her face.
Xie Junfeng and Li Fengyin stood on either side of the desk, waiting for the ceremony to begin, although they were a little nervous, the smiles on their faces did not decrease by half.
There is an invisible headset hanging from the admirer's ear, and if you don't pay attention, you can't tell that she has it.
"Fill the table!"
As soon as the praiser's words fell, the waiters with the basin of water slowly walked to the center of the stage, and behind them came a waiter, who was about to serve the bride and groom for the whole ceremony.
Water spilled on Xie Junfeng and Li Fengyin's fingertips, and a towel wiped the water droplets on their hands, and then the two of them slowly sat down on the futon, along with the praiser and the waiter.
Bathing and changing clothes and sitting at the table seem to be their own cultivation, but in fact, they are a kind of respect for people, things and things that the Chinese people treat.
Strict discipline is a must, and treating people with courtesy is commendable!
When the wo was finished, the praiser symbolically opened the box containing the food, and she said aloud at the same time: "The newcomer's food is arranged, untie the hair!" ”
Before the groom welcomes the bride and the bride goes out, a strand of hair will be wrapped around the head, and when the hair is knotted, a strand of their hair will be cut, and then tied together with a red rope to fix it, which means that the two people have become a couple.
Knotting hair is to take hair as an alliance, to swear to knot and hair to be concentric, life and death depend on each other, and never separate!
When the waiter brought small scissors to cut Xie Junfeng and Li Fengyin's hair, the praiser said slowly: "The silk knots the dragon and the phoenix, and the color knots the clouds." An inch of concentric wisps, a thousand years of longevity. ”
This is a poem written by the Northern Zhou poet Yu Xin in "The Bag of Inscriptions", which depicts the romantic scene of the alliance of the hair.
On the way to cut his hair, Xie Junfeng looked at Li Fengyin with affection in his eyes, and unconsciously raised his lips and smiled, with tears surging in his eyes.
Maybe it's because I married the girl I love, and I thought that this girl would accompany her for the rest of her life, so I couldn't help but laugh and cry!
Accompanied by bursts of music, two strands of hair with red rope were woven into a strand, and from then on they were a married couple who worked together for a lifetime and shared grievances!
Although Li Fengyin was a little flustered, seeing her husband's smile like this, sweetness also surged in her heart.
The praiser glanced at them with a smile, and then sat down on the futon and said slowly: "After the hair is knotted, do the same prison salute." ”
The same prison union means that two people who have become husband and wife should eat the same animal and drink a glass of wine together, symbolizing that the husband and wife should live together and share joys and sorrows in life!
It's just that before the union is united, there is a small sacrificial ceremony, somewhat similar to the prayer before the Christian meal, to declare their determination to God!
"Sacrifice!"
Xie Junfeng and Li Fengyin's movements were so gentle and elegant, and Xie Junfeng even restrained his usual giggling and became gentle, making people who were familiar with him feel that they were dazzled.
He and Li Fengyin first cut off a small slice of the meat that the praiser had given and put it on the waiter's plate, and only after a moment did they sprinkle the wine of the praiser on the waiter's plate.
Although the sacrificial ceremony is very small, it has the greatest determination of the two of them, and from now on they will walk the rest of their lives together!
Even though there are all kinds of constraints, the two of them love each other, which is the basis for them to live together!
The music continues, the rituals continue, and people are still immersed in this real illusion!
