Princess Hongnong thanked her with a smile, and then pulled Fu Xuan to send Zhao Song first, he was the officiant, and it stands to reason that the princess and Fu Xuan should send each other in person.

Wang also hurriedly put down the wine glass and wanted to send it with him.

Zhao Hanzhang happily agreed, bowed down and gave way, waited for them to walk out of Changxuan before getting up, stretched out his hand in front of Tinghe, Tinghe hurriedly filled her with wine, Zhao Hanzhang raised his glass and said: "Come, everyone, today is me and Fu Tinghan are very happy, thank you for coming to eat our wedding wine, I respect everyone." ”

Everyone hurriedly raised their glasses to each other.

Zhao Hanzhang added another glass of wine and said with a smile: "The New Year is approaching, according to the law, the imperial court should be sealed on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, everyone goes back to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind, and does not go to the yamen until the eighth day of the first month, but this year is not as good as before, the country is stable at the beginning of the year, because of the drought, locust plague and military disasters in the displacement of countless people, and the weather is cold, the whole country is in ruins, every day when you open your eyes is all kinds of affairs come one after another, so you have been tired of your colleagues and I work overtime, here, Han Zhang is ashamed to you, come, this cup to you. ”

Everyone said that they didn't dare, and Ji Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "In terms of hard work, or the general is the hardest, how dare we take credit?" ”

Many officials responded one after another, "just for the ears of the people." ”

"Well said!" Zhao Hanzhang laughed and said: "It's for the people, this cup makes us respect all the people with lofty ideals in the world and their contributions to the people." ”

The atmosphere was enthusiastic, and everyone raised their glasses and drank along.

After everyone happily put down the wine glass, Zhao Hanzhang took a glass of wine and faced Zhao Cheng who was standing on the other side, and asked, "Uncle Cheng, today's wedding is new, what do you think?" Could it be recorded in the 'rites' and widely disseminated? ”

Before Zhao Cheng could speak, Fan Ying on the side was already bright-eyed, and interjected: "I think it's okay, today's wedding expenses are much less than the old system, and now Dajin is the time when everything is waiting to be revived. ”

The officials frowned, and immediately said: "The identity of the general is different, and the etiquette system can naturally be special, but it is not appropriate to change the marriage system as an example, right?" ”

"Or should we follow the old rituals, how can there be a reason that both parents worship at the same time, and the two families only have a banquet once?"

"Why not?" Fan Ying said: "Only one banquet, the cost can be much cheaper, even the guests who come to the banquet only need to give a ceremony, now the people's livelihood is poor, the money for wine and gifts is expensive, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to marry." ”

"If you have more money, you will be luxurious, and if you have less money, you will be thrifty, this is the business of each family, why do you want to do it?"

Wang Huifeng said: "This is very unreasonable, and the folk customs change with the change, otherwise why is there politeness?" ”

Wang Huifeng opened his mouth like this, and knocked out those who held this view.

Many officials went to see Xun Fan, he had a deep study of the "Book of Rites", and he was the crown prince and the prince, so he had more say in this matter.

Xun Fan also disagreed, his eyes moved from Fan Ying's face to Zhao Hanzhang's face, smiling and muddy, "Today is the big day of the general and Fu Shangshu, why bother talking about such a beautiful thing as the government and politics, if Fan Yushi has a heart, it is better to talk about it after the year." ”

Fan Ying smiled lightly: "It's just gossip, it just so happens that my colleagues are here, everyone is bored to drink, what's wrong?" ”

She asked Zhao Hanzhang with a smile: "Does the general mind if the subordinate talks about these things?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and waved his hand: "I don't mind, just listen to everyone's meaning, there are many people who are married in the lunar month and the first month, if you set a newlywed system, just release it, let everyone try it." ”

"General, the marriage system is one of the gifts, and it is sacred and cannot be violated, how can it be such a child's play?"

"Yes, the identity of the general is different from others, and the marriage system can naturally not be the same as ordinary people, as for others, they should still follow the old marriage system."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Jiali is the most commonly used ceremony in the five rites, especially the wedding is the most, all dynasties, weddings have to adapt to the changes of the folk and change, I heard, now there are many places to hold weddings, the bride's wedding dress is white, but someone knows why? ”

Xun Fan bowed and said: "Because of the years of war in the Central Plains, all the warriors and local people are eager for peace and tranquility, hoping to return to the basics, and white is the purest of all colors, so white wedding dresses are used in many places. ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "But there are rules in the marriage system, and women's wedding clothes should be based on Xuanyi, which shows that the marriage system is not unchangeable, and it must conform to public opinion." ”

Cheng Da, one of Zhao Hanzhang's henchmen, blushed, and couldn't help but say: "Then, since I obey the will of the people, I don't want to, can I not comply with the new marriage system?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang lifted his eyelids and looked at him.

The backs of all the officials were cold, and they all secretly took a breath.

Zhao Hanzhang asked him: "General Cheng wants to treat the imperial court system as nothing?" That's what your colleagues are going to do? ”

Everyone shook their heads, this hat was too big, they didn't dare to wear it.

They all glared at Cheng Da, they would not object, they would not speak and retreat to the side, and they would not pull them back.

The scene was quiet for a while, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant.

Zhao Cheng, who had been silent and couldn't speak, said: "I don't agree, there is no etiquette to rely on in such a marriage system." ”

The atmosphere became more stagnant.

Zhao Hanzhang turned around and sat on a chair, his face was calm and he didn't speak, everyone suddenly didn't dare to speak, and the good wedding atmosphere was wrong.

Zhao Hu didn't know where it came from, and burped: "Isn't it just a marriage system, it's like some military event, isn't it just worshipping your parents, marrying at the same time, and going to Xiaoxin's house at the same time?" ”

"Don't say goodbye, as long as the woman's family is strong, it is the same if she gets married and lives in the woman's house."

An official whispered: "Isn't this a big deal?" It's better to start with it. ”

Although Zhao Hu also felt so in his heart, he knew that the Zhao family promised that if he asked Fu Tinghan to join the family, Zhao Song would be the first to refuse, so he snorted directly: "Why is it a debt?" Shouldn't you be filial to your parents, is it only your son's parents who are parents, and the parents of other daughters are not parents? ”

The face of the official who was refuted by him turned red, he clearly didn't mean this, this was nonsense.

He turned his head and said to Fu Tinghan: "Don't you follow them, your mother-in-law only has a pair of children, Sanniang and Erlang, and Erlang is like that, she will not rely on you in the future?" ”

Fu Tinghan should be down.

Seeing that the marriage system is about to be set in this way, the rite is not the same as the general system and regulations.

The system and regulations can also change from time to time, and once the ceremony is set, it will be difficult for future generations to change.

Even, after the change of dynasty, it may not be possible, and the rite is something that will be engraved into people's bones and blood.

See you tomorrow
