Chapter 448: Zhang Ji's faint ceremony
However, there is still a lot of process to welcome these brides back to Zhangfu.
The brides were served by the palace maids to put on a robe to protect them from the dust, and then, according to the etiquette, Zhang Ji needed to welcome these brides into the carriage he brought.
Startled salamander, tide, scarlet smoke, flame spirit Ji, Tian Mi, Mrs. Hu, Hu Meiren, Da Si Ming, Gongsun Li, red lotus, purple girl, color butterfly, Bai Jin, a whole thirteen peerless beauties of the country and Tianxiang wore pure clothes and jade ornaments, and under the traction of Zhang Ji, they stepped on the stool and boarded the carriage in turn.
At the top of a tall building, a woman with long hair and a slim short skirt as blue as the sea quietly looked down at the man and woman in the center of the crowd, with a slight hint of envy in her eyes.
"If you are envious, why refuse?"
Several crows condensed into an inky slender figure, standing beside Parrot Song, and the white phoenix that stepped on the feathers and followed also landed behind the two of them with a light tiptoe.
"Even so, I don't understand why Sister Parrot Song refused."
Parrot Song and Bai Feng, who were not struck by the cruel reality, still maintained their eyes as clear as the sky, glanced at each other, and shook their heads lightly.
"Xiao Feng'er, you don't understand."
Zhang Ji had asked Parrot Ge if he would like to participate in this faint ceremony together before returning to Qin, but Parrot Ge refused on the grounds of his low status.
No matter how Zhang Ji persuaded him, Parrot Ge did not agree.
In fact, as Zhang Ji's guard, Parrot Song has long been eaten a lot of tofu by Zhang Ji in normal times, except for the last step, basically everything that can be done has been done, but Parrot Ge really doesn't think that she should participate in this faint ceremony and become Zhang Ji's concubine, she would rather be a lover of the outer room without a name.
Acting as Zhang Ji's bodyguard, she knows all the women who have a relationship with Zhang Ji, including the moon god.
So she doesn't think she has any ability to take away how much Zhang Ji's favor from these stunning beauties, rather than this, it is better to continue to stay by Zhang Ji's side as Zhang Ji's personal guard.
At least to be able to stay by Zhang Ji's side all the time, there are far more opportunities than becoming a concubine.
It's just that she didn't tell Mo Crow and Bai Feng about these thoughts.
And the same is true of Liwu, as Zhao Ji's personal guard, Liwu also thinks that as long as Zhao Ji is there, she will not lack Zhang Ji's favor, so staying by Zhao Ji's side is the best choice.
Zhang Ji looked at the carriage that just allowed everyone to occupy a place, which did not look crowded at all, and there was a smaller carriage behind this carriage, which contained the dowry of each wife and concubine, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
This carriage was also built by Shaofu temporarily, and even involved the issue of specifications and etiquette.
The Son of Heaven drove six, the princes drove five, the Qing drove four, the doctor three, the scholar two, and the Shuren one.
Zhang Ji is naturally in the position, and it is not a problem for four horses to pull these fourteen people, but if you count the dowry full of dowries in the small carriage behind, it is really a bit slow.
However, after negotiating with the clan elder of the Zhou family, the other party said that the person to marry included the Zhou family Wang Ji, who could use the specifications of six horses.
The clan elder looked at Ying Zheng meaningfully, as if he was looking forward to Ying Zheng's reaction.
The Son of Heaven drove six, the princes drove five, and the size of the carriage used by his subordinates exceeded that of the king, but he was curious about how Yingzheng would react.
But Ying Zheng just nodded, and then said to Li Si beside him: "Tonggu, the purpose." ”
"This carriage will be sealed in the Shaofu treasury after today, and if any of my Great Qin courtiers have made great achievements in the future, they can use this carriage to welcome their relatives once, and the royal family will be responsible for the funeral matters and expenses."
Let's say it, Ying Zheng turned around and left, no longer bothering with the patriarch of the Zhou family.
What kind of heart this ann has, Yingzheng saw through it early in the morning.
If Yingzheng didn't care about the six-horse carriage, he would inevitably look shorter than the courtiers.
If Yingzheng cares about the six-horse carriage, it will lead to discord between the monarch and the minister.
Since the Zhou family was not completely convinced, he took this six-horse carriage as a reward, and every time a hero who made great contributions married a bride, he could use it once to see if someone frequently crossed the "Zhou Li", whether they could not hang on the face of the Zhou room, or he could not hang on the face of the government.
Even if Yingzheng rules the world in the future, this matter will become a beautiful talk, and it is a virtuous embodiment of Yingzheng Lixian Corporal to reward the meritorious heroes, just as the king allows the meritorious heroes to travel in the same car, and the king goes out of the city to greet the meritorious heroes and other etiquette is generally the same, and it is recorded in the history books that it will only be the Zhou room who will be slapped in the face.
Stepping on the carriage, Zhang Ji handed the reins of the carriage to the three wives of Salamander, Tide and Scarlet Smoke respectively, to show that the husband and wife are one and share the honor, while the three daughters refused to accept it according to etiquette and handed the reins of the carriage back to Zhang Ji.
After Zhang Ji took the reins, he gently twitched the horse's hips, and with his arm strength, he could pull six horses alone, so he naturally didn't worry about the horses getting out of control.
The royal wheel is three weeks, and it is outside the door first.
And the carriage didn't take a few steps, just let the huge wheels roll on the ground three times, Zhang Ji got out of the carriage, handed over the driving rights to the groomsmen invited by Zhang Ji today, and got into another carriage and returned to the house to prepare to welcome his relatives.
As for Zhang Ji's luxurious groomsmen's group, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Li Si, Li Xin, Qiang Qi, Su Jiao, Tu Sui, Ren Huan, Feng Wuxue, Yang Wengzi, Shejian, Bai Qi, exactly twelve people.
Six people were responsible for driving one horse each, and six people followed by the carriage to prevent the horses from being frightened.
And the six people next to the carriage, such as Meng Tian, Li Xin, Qiang Qi, Tu Sui, Ren Huan, and Bai Qi, all have the ability to subdue a mad war horse at any time.
These twelve people are just one of them, and they are also famous generals in the future, and there are many famous generals who will be famous in history in the future, so the best man group is also difficult to find.
On the way, every place where the wedding car passes, the people who have already started to enjoy the flowing water banquet in advance will stand up and shout "color", and sing the poems of blessing the newlyweds together with the music played by the musicians arranged in advance on both sides of the road.
"The peach is dying, scorching its bloom. The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room. ”
"The peach is dying, there is a fact. The son is home, and his family room is appropriate. ”
"The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming. The son is home, and it is suitable for his family. ”
After a short time, Zhang Ji, the long-awaited groom, finally received his brides again, carefully led each bride down from the car bench, and then bowed to each of them individually.
The woman is to, and the son-in-law is the woman to enter.
During the ceremony, no matter what status the woman is, according to the etiquette system, the groom must first bow to the bride and welcome the bride into the house.
After the ceremony, everyone walked into Zhang's Mansion together.
At this moment, Zhang's mansion was already full of guests, and all the guests were curious about how stunning Zhang Ji's wives and concubines were.
There are also people who are interested in the appearance of several of these special brides, such as the first-class killer Salamander of Luowang Tianzi, Dongjun Scarlet Smoke of the Yin and Yang Family, and the Red Lotus as the Korean princess, Gongsun Li of the Princess of Weiguo, and the Wang Ji Zinu of the Zhou Family.
And with the appearance of Zhang Ji and the women, what they naturally gained was the praise and blessing of the talented women.
In addition to the guests, the elders of the wives and concubines were already waiting here, and Zhao Ji, the queen mother, and Zhang Ji's senior brother, the six-fingered black man, sat together in the position that should have belonged to Zhang Ji's parents.
The eldest brother is the father, and so is the senior brother.
Zhang Ji's parents died early, and although Lu Goujian's soul was there, he couldn't leave the place of death too far, so he had to let Zhang Ji's senior brother Six-Fingered Black Man temporarily take the position of Zhang Ji's father, and Zhao Ji, who was Zhang Ji's stepmother, naturally took the place of Zhang Ji's mother.
"Bong-woo-woo!"
Under the traction of the palace maids, Zhang Ji and a group of brides filled with water, washed their hands, and performed the ceremony before slowly sitting down and sitting around a specially made large table.
After seeing the new son-in-law and bride impromptu, Feng Changqing nodded with satisfaction and shouted: "Zi'er is newly married, there are guests at the ceremony, Xianji congratulates, and congratulates Lian Li."
"Same prison!"
The palace ladies brought the prepared meals to the table, and the rice, taijiao, soup and other items were brought to the table in front of everyone, and everyone symbolically tasted a mouthful of millet first, then tasted each dish, and finally dipped their fingers in the sauce and tasted it, then rinsed their mouths with wine, and raised the wine bottle with wine above their heads before putting it down, in order to show the guests around them to sign the end of the ceremony.
"Fulu is the original source, divided into two pieces, although it is known that it is bitter, it is worthy of rice wine and sweetness, the red line is connected, the marriage is long, the wine is alternately toasted and drunk, and the husband and wife share bitter sweetness."
"After the food ceremony, you can."
For Zhang Ji, the process of merging is a bit long, after all, the gourd containing the wine can only be divided into two, and Zhang Ji must drink with each wife and concubine with the same gourd that has been cut into two pieces.
The gourd was slightly bitter, but fortunately, the wine contained in it was spicy Qin wine, and it didn't taste much bitterness.
Zhang Ji and the startled salamander glanced at each other, and the sweet affection in their eyes made it easy for the two to see themselves reflected in each other's eyes.
The severed gourd is connected by a red string, and the two exchange half of the gourd in their hands, and then drink together to show their feelings of sharing weal and woe.
Watching the startled salamander, who rarely drinks alcohol, drink the spicy Qin wine, the beautiful and refined white face also looks red and tender at this moment, if it weren't for the faint ceremony and the fact that he couldn't move at will, Zhang Ji wanted to pinch the white and soft cheeks of the startled salamander.
After the spicy wine entered his throat, he finally arrived at his henchman, and Zhang Ji, who couldn't make any small movements, enjoyed the shy beauty of the brides, and felt more and more enthusiastic.
In fact, not only Zhang Ji was so excited, but also the brides.
For Zhang Ji, getting married means that he has really taken root in this world and really has a firm bond in this world.
And for these brides, why don't they finally become other people's daughters-in-law?
With excitement, the dusk prayer also reached the last step before entering the cave room - the hair ceremony
"The red tassel is green silk, binding the monarch's body today, don't lose and don't forget, love and righteousness; Pei jade quality is clear, such as moist and self-evident, jade virtue is a gentleman, and jade reflects wisdom. ”
Zhang Ji sat opposite to the startled salamander, untied the red tassel tied to the green silk of the startled salamander, took the scissors handed by the palace maid, cut off a strand of hair from himself and the startled salamander, braided it into a "bun", put it into a bag, and handed it over to the startled salamander to preserve, in order to show the silk strands of silk and buckle, and forever tie the knot.
This is also the origin of the term "wife".
After Zhang Ji and the brides finished the wedding ceremony, they all came to Zhao Ji and the six-fingered black man who were sitting in the first place.
Today's Zhao Ji is also dressed up to attend, and even Ying Zheng is a little worried about whether Zhao Ji will steal the limelight from the brides.
After all, the brides are only wearing wedding dresses, and Zhao Ji's dark phoenix robe is full of Zhao Ji's graceful and luxurious and motherly temperament as the queen mother.
Although the guests felt that Zhao Ji's behavior was somewhat inappropriate, they were attending the ceremony today as Zhang Ji's mother, and even Zhang Ji himself did not allow any objections, let alone them.
Zhang Ji and Zhao Ji in the first place looked at each other and smiled, he could naturally understand Zhao Ji's careful thoughts, and he didn't have any objections.
Anyone who watches his beloved man marry many beauties of the country, but he can only sit in the first place, and he has to take the children who belong to this man in his womb and hypocritically bless them, he will feel aggrieved.
Even though she and Zhang Ji's brides have long been familiar with each other, they can't suppress the jealousy in her heart.
The brides can also understand, after all, it is impossible to include this Empress Dowager of Great Qin among the people who will enter the ancestral tomb of the Zhang family in Anyi in the future, and she can only be Zhang Ji's nameless lover for the rest of her life, just like those nameless outer room girls.
Zhang Ji and the brides slowly walked in front of Zhao Ji and the six-fingered black man, and bowed three times to their parents.
The six-fingered black man looked at Zhang Ji, who was married, with a smile, and was also very happy, and handed over the right to speak to Zhao Ji after saying a few words of blessing.
"This palace wishes you and others a happy marriage and a good marriage for a hundred years."
Zhao Ji had a dignified demeanor and didn't seem to have anything wrong, but including Ying Zheng, the six-fingered black man, and a group of people who knew something about martial arts, frowned slightly.
There is nothing wrong with wishing the newlyweds a happy 100 years of togetherness.
But with Zhang Ji's current grandmaster realm, the lifespan is far more than a hundred years.
Among the wives and concubines, there are also grandmasters, half-step grandmasters and first- and second-rate masters, even if they are brides such as Mrs. Hu and Hu Meiren, who do not have any martial arts, with Zhang Ji's means and connections, they can find some thousand-year-old ginseng from the country of Jizi or a century-old ginseng from the land of Shangdang, which is enough to have a lifespan of more than a hundred years.
Therefore, Zhao Ji's words are like wishing a birthday star who has a 100-year-old birthday a long life.
But everyone didn't think much about it, Zhao Ji didn't understand martial arts, and he didn't understand these very well, so it was not incomprehensible that there was such a slip of the tongue.
Only Zhang Ji secretly showed a slightly bitter and slightly doting smile to Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji snorted lightly, just like a delicate girl.
The six-fingered black man's expression moved slightly, as if he realized that he had discovered some big secret, and coughed lightly to excuse himself to go to the toilet and leave.
