Chapter 318: Welcoming Relatives (3)
Without waiting for the carriage procession to approach, a group of welcome guests who had been waiting in front of the door shouted for a long time, and then the inside and outside of the courtyard gate, which was originally just a little lively, suddenly became noisy, and a large group of people rushed out of the courtyard with hulala, and the one running in front turned out to be a group of eight or nine year-old ghosts.
Each of these little guys held a torch made of cattail and wormwood in his hand, and after the carriage procession had just stopped, these little guys took the lit torches and ran around the nine carriages, among which Zhu Qingqing and Cheng Xueyan were surrounded by the most children.
In ancient times, because the procession of welcoming relatives had to pass through the long wilderness and dense jungle, it was easy to attract highly infectious mosquitoes and other unclean things, so these cattails and wormwood were used to ward off evil spirits on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also had the effect of repelling mosquitoes.
After the children happily ran around the carriage twice, they ran to the door of the carriage, so that the two girls who were about to get off the carriage suddenly did not know why, and then they saw Wen Fei and Yuzhen and other four maids each took out red envelopes containing a large amount of copper coins and distributed them to these children, and then the children ran away happily.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Wang Ze came to the brides' carriage, and then saw the two brides personally supported by the two maids to get out of the carriage, and a red carpet that had been laid long ago stretched from the courtyard to the carriage, just so that the two girls walked over it.
It is said that at this time, the marriage is one at a time, and the man usually walks in front and leads the bride slowly forward with a red belt, but now Wang Ze has married all the two daughters together, and the result can only be one on one side, and I always feel that something is wrong.
But at this time, the big guys were busy with their feet not touching the ground, and no one was in the mood to care about these, there were already a lot of things, and after the team to welcome the relatives came back, it was even more around Wang Ze and his wife.
Especially Liu Xin and Yang Ku, as the formulators of the process etiquette of Wang Ze's wedding, they are the ones who know the process of interests the most, so they are also responsible for the overall command of this ceremony, and it can be said that these two people are the busiest.
In addition, where Wang Ze's parents sit, how to arrange the woman's relatives, how to allocate the seats of the guests who come, and the etiquette used during the wedding ceremony, etc., all have to be worried about by the two of them.
Especially today's ritual music has taken a lot of thought, in ancient times music is a very noble cause, especially in the Western Zhou Dynasty what kind of status can listen to what kind of music is very strict regulations, if there is a transgression is a big sin, but it is very bad.
Even during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the ceremonies and music used in the king's marriage and state ceremonies were very particular, otherwise it would be easy to attract ridicule, and this would lose the face of a country.
Now Wang Ze is also a lord of the country, and he is also the lord of a regional power, so it took a lot of hard work for Liu Xin and Yang Ku to choose the rites, and in the end, Liu Qing came up with the idea and took out a newly produced ritual music from Haotian Daomen.
Because Wang Ze established the brilliant sound of Hong Zhong Dalu for Haotian Daomen from the beginning, and abandoned the kind of light and spiritual ritual music, so this kind of Taoist ritual music itself is very close to the orthodox official music, and after more than ten years of practice, it has been sublimated and transformed, which is very suitable for today's formal occasion of Wang Ze's wedding.
As Wang Ze and the three of them advanced, the sound of ritual music sounded, and seventy-two chimes and heavy sounds such as chimes, gongs, and drums set off to make up for the lack of silk and bamboo orchestras, and the two types of musical instruments were matched just right, making people quite have a charm of Luanfeng and Ming.
When Wang Ze and the three of them walked into the main hall, it meant that the wedding ceremony officially began, and Li Jie, who was in charge of the master of ceremonies, raised his head and raised his neck and said: "At the turn of spring and summer, yin and yang are in Thailand, men and women are happy, there is harmony, if the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the sea is dry and the stones are rotten, and the wedding ceremony starts today, and the road of humanity is at the right time!" ”
Li Jie was wearing an apricot yellow robe of a law enforcement Taoist, with a white face and a slight beard, and Wang Ze had also heard that it was Liu Qing who asked the Taoist priest of Haotian Daomen to come to preside over the wedding ceremony, and Liu Qing and others were also a little unwilling to be lonely, and they were ready to continue to strengthen some of the influence of Haotian Daomen in life.
In the past, Wang Ze also said to Liu Qing that some Taoist doors can strengthen the impact on the lives of ordinary people, including letting the Taoist of Haotian Daomen preside over the wedding of ordinary people.
With these in mind, the ceremonial ceremony has officially begun:
"Worship Haotian God, Haotian God opened the world and opened the earth to have a place for us to exist, and descended the divine light to nurture all things to feed us, we are God, I am Father! Bye, pray, pye, get up! ”
"Two worship the community and the people, we can't survive unless there is a society, we can't be hungry, we can't wear clothes and can't do it, I can't do it, respect, reluctant, and thank it! Bye, pray, pye, get up! ”
"Three worship to the parents, conceive in October, such as crossing the ghost gate, the grace of nurturing is unforgettable! Bye, pray, pye, get up! ”
Li Jie's high voice matched the ritual music played by the Haotian Daomen's ritual music team, and there was even a sacred feeling in it, which made Wang Ze have to admire, but what he said before was indeed very reasonable, and Wang Ze also nodded in approval. Three k
It is not easy for parents to give birth to themselves, and now Wang Yong does not even want the throne for himself, thinking about what his father said when he talked to him in private two days ago, Wang Ze was extremely moved, when Wang Yong said to Wang Ze: "If I am the king, in the future, your three brothers will compete for the throne with each other at the instigation of someone with a heart, which is not my wish; If you are the king from the beginning, you can cut off this matter, and your two brothers will naturally be arranged by you in a good place in the future! ”
After all, the foundation of the East China Sea was laid down by Wang Ze from the beginning, so it is very suitable for Wang Ze to call the king system, and from the very beginning, he can completely cut off the other ideas of Wang Ze's two younger brothers, and Wang Ze after becoming the king will definitely not treat the two younger brothers badly.
Thinking of this, Wang Ze looked at his parents when he worshiped the high hall, Wang Yong sat side by side with Gongxi Wenqi on a soft couch, and saw Wang Ze's gaze also smiled slightly, which made Wang Ze's heart warm.
And Gongxi Wenying didn't know these at all, just watched his son get married, and suddenly welcomed the two nieces he liked very much, so he was also very happy, but when the two freshly baked daughters-in-law served tea, they took a big sip of it.
But I don't want this tea to be a little hot after all, it's okay if you take a small sip slowly, but you will suffer a sin if you drink water like this, and you almost burned Gongxi's family, but fortunately, Wang Yong next to him helped cover up the past, which made Zhu Qingqing and Cheng Xueyan a little uneasy.
On the honorable throne near Wang Yong and Gongxi Wenqi, He Bo, Liu Qing, Cao Blacksmith, Tan Carpenter, Chen Fuzi, Zhou Cheng, Xiao Jing, Lu Wen and others all sat there, looking at Wang Ze with a smile on their faces, and they were quite happy about Wang Ze's festive day today.
Although the process of the wedding is simple, it is very troublesome in practice, and Gongxi Wenqi chooses all the most complicated etiquette in order to pursue the tall, so Wang Ze is not lightly tired, but after such a wedding, Wang Ze also understands why the wedding is called "wedding".
"Wedding, dusk!" That is to say, in ancient times, marriage was a ritual that was carried out at dusk, and when the ceremony was over, Wang Ze also knew why the ancients in later TV dramas always sent a couple of newlyweds into the cave room after worshipping heaven, earth, and high hall.
However, at this time, Wang Ze's wedding was still a little different after all, after the two brides were sent into the cave room, they were accompanied by their classmates, and Wang Ze continued to accompany some guests to drink a few glasses, especially the old people at the table of He Bo and Liu Qing.
Especially Uncle He, from the beginning of middle age, he was a housekeeper for Wang Ze's grandfather, and when he was in his prime, he was a housekeeper for Wang Ze's father Wang Yong, and when Wang Ze just came to the East China Sea, he had to worry a lot about Wang Ze's affairs.
Although Uncle He has retired now, he often helps Wang Ze deal with some housework, he sees Wang Ze as his descendant in his heart, and now he is very happy to see that Wang Ze, who was a small one, is now married, and he accidentally drank too much.
Liu Qing looked at Uncle He with a wry smile, and then clapped his hands and asked his second apprentice Zhou Cheng to take care of Uncle He, after all, Liu Qing is also a centenarian, and it is already good to take care of himself.
When Wang Ze arranged for someone to send He Bo to the backyard house to rest, he was finally relieved, but fortunately, most people did not dare to pour wine on Wang Ze, and some of the elders who were qualified to drink were reluctant to ruin his wedding night like this, so Wang Ze escaped.
The grand etiquette was particularly tormenting from the beginning, and under the arrangement of the master of ceremonies, Wang Ze was simply at the mercy of the manipulation, and even Wang Ze, who had practiced martial arts, was tired like a dog, not to mention Zhu Qingqing and Cheng Xueyan.
Although Wang Ze thought about it very thoughtfully, all kinds of things prepared on the carriage, after the ceremony, the two were quickly sent to the new house, but the body of the two was not as good as Wang Ze after all, so they were not tired, but what made the two women feel a little relieved was that they each had a room.
Thinking that it was ridiculous for the three of them to be together at the beginning, this made the two of them unbearable, but after separation, the two had to face a big problem, that is, who Wang Ze wanted to follow first!
Just as the two women were chatting with their classmates and anxiously waiting for Wang Ze's arrival, they heard a woman's anxious voice in the corridor between the two rooms: "Oh, why did the little marquis fall to the ground alone?" ”
Looking at Wang Ze's drunken body, Cheng Xueyan and Zhu Qingqing were distressed for a while, and hurriedly instructed everyone to serve hot water, and some went to get the sobering soup, and then the two of them each took a hot towel and wrung it out to wipe Wang Ze's face, seeing Wang Ze like this, the two had to send everyone away, and the two stayed to take care of Wang Ze together.
But after the two of them sent everyone away, they found that Wang Ze was staring at the bulging chests of the two with a pair of big eyes, which made the two women angry.
Suddenly pounced on a good fight, the more Wang Ze howled, the more powerful the two women hit, but I didn't want to toss the clothes of the two girls unconsciously fell one by one, and waited until the two women were out of breath to realize their situation, and they wanted to escape but couldn't escape.
Wang Ze is a beast, and he pulled the two girls into the red tent, and after a while, there was a coquettish cry and a rapid panting, and the Furong Spring Supper night was shorter, and the king did not come to court early!
