Because the organization of the wedding is all handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites, so is the Li family.

So it was booked before, and when it was over, the palace would send someone to pick it up.

Li Chengyu looked out the window with a lost face: "I don't know who I will send?" Hopefully it's a place that can hold it down. ”

The higher the status of the person usually sent, the more important the man attaches to the marriage, and the man is the emperor at any time, so it stands to reason that they should not be picked, but who doesn't want their daughter to be valued.

Li Zhao heard Li Chengyu's voice, frowned and said, "Why didn't the emperor come to pick up his relatives?" ”

Yang Houzhao hadn't told her before.

………………

In the courtyard of the Li family, there are relatives and friends waiting to greet them.

Uncle Biao and Chunsheng also came.

is still the first to come, and they want to help Li Chengyu receive relatives and friends.

Seeing that the hour was about the same, Uncle Biao called Shang Chunsheng and distributed the broom prepared in advance to the woman who looked strong.

The custom of folk marriage has the saying of pulling the door.

That is, when the groom comes to pick up the bride, the door of the house is not opened, and the groom sends a red seal before opening, but after opening the door, he has to pass the second level, and the third aunt and six women beat the groom with a broom, saying that it is a subdued, and the groom will not dare to bully the bride in the future.

And this kind of beating of the groom is not allowed to fight back, can only hide, the hand is light and heavy, it depends on whether the groom is popular among relatives.

Uncle Biao and Shui Sheng, as Li Zhao's "most reliable" mother's family, of course have to support Li Zhao.

If the bridegroom was the emperor, they would not dare to fight.

But everyone knows that the emperor can't go out of the palace, and the one who comes to greet him is definitely not the emperor.

After handing out the "weapon", Uncle Biao said to Shui Sheng: "You kid is not taboo, go and ask that Master Zhang and ask him who will come to greet him in the palace." ”

"If it's a high status, let's not fight, if it's a medium status, let's fight lightly, if the big men in the palace look down on our mother, and send a shrimp soldier crab to come, let's fight hard."

So now the custom of beating the groom is not only a matter of customs, but also a matter of dignity, and it is to show the people in the palace, although their mothers are from civilian backgrounds, they are not easy to fool.

Chunsheng stretched out three fingers.

Uncle Biao bowed slightly, and also stretched out three fingers, and drew a circle between his thumb and index finger, which was right.

After a short time, Chunsheng came back and said in Uncle Biao's ear: "Lord Zhang doesn't know, it should be some official of Honglu Temple, he said so." ”

Honglu Temple is a yamen of the Ministry of Rites, which is in charge of some rituals such as court meetings, feasts, and sacrifices, and is a ritual department.

Uncle Biao thought to himself, even if he is a Honglu Siqing, he is a fourth-grade official, and when he comes to marry Li Zhao, he has to be a third-grade or higher official to be taken seriously.

Well, that's a middle-class official, and it's not necessarily Honglu Siqing who comes, maybe it's a smaller official.

He said to Chunsheng: "Cheer up, and someone will beat me hard." ”

"When the time comes, I will stand at the door and take the lead, you are behind the door of the main house, and now tell your relatives that you will not be soft."

Chunsheng listened to Uncle Biao for everything, stood up straight, and stretched out three fingers again.

Uncle Biao's eyes narrowed, and he bowed slightly, okay.

After the goal is the same, Chunsheng went to explain to the others.

Uncle Biao clenched the broom tightly and stood by the door.

It happened that Zhang Yong was also waiting for the team to greet him, and he glanced back at Uncle Biao, his eyes were a little confused.

Uncle Biao bought wedding supplies for Li Zhao, and the two had met before, but Zhang Yong didn't remember it.

Uncle Biao nodded and said, "Master Zhang, the younger one is a relative of Niangniang, who dragged the door." ”

It's time to get ready to kiss.

Zhang Yong looked at the broom in Uncle Biao's hand and understood, this position is just right to beat people.

He didn't say a word, gave up his place to the queen's relatives and friends, and waited outside the door himself.
