Ancient China forbade the playing of music at weddings, and Confucian scholars believed that music was pulsating, yang, and inappropriate for a yin bride. However, the folk like to play music for weddings. Until the wedding of Zhezong in the Song Dynasty, officials persuaded the Empress Dowager to agree not to use the band, and the Empress Dowager said: "Ordinary people marry a bride, and there are still a few musicians" - so she ordered the music for the wedding. Later wedding music becomes customized.

At that time, some new customs appeared in the Song Dynasty, and due to the relatively developed commodity economy, the practice of giving daughters-in-law and sharing wealth began to appear when discussing marriage. The daughter-in-law is a blind date, agreed by both men and women on a date, the two sides meet, if the picture is in the woman's bun to insert the gold hairpin, called "hairpin", if you don't like it, you want to send a colored satin, called "pressure shock"

In addition to the names and birthdays of both men and women, the property status of the family should also be written on the marriage book. Before the in-person welcome, the south should send pollen and other things to "urge marriage", and the women's family should use curtains, bedding and the like to decorate the new house, called "shop house".

When greeting the bride, the groom leads the float or sedan chair to the woman's house, and the sedan chair greets the bride from there. After the bride gets on the sedan chair, there is also the custom of begging for auspicious money to drink and eat. When he came to the door of the man's house, the bride came down, and there was a practice of "sprinkling grain beans" to seek good fortune, and today Xiao Ming could only go through the motions when he got married.

Because it was just a formality, Xiao Ming's new house was in Su Mansion, even if the link of welcoming relatives was a formality, the bride sat in a sedan chair and simply turned around and carried it into Su Mansion, but a group of mothers-in-law and maids hugged together to ask for rewards from the groom, Xiao Ming threw money casually, and everyone grabbed it, and the Yun Niang in the crowd just watched blankly, with an envious expression on her face.

When Xiao Ming saw her, his heart moved, but he still held back, everyone surrounded him and entered the lobby to prepare to worship heaven and earth, Su Bi was also full of red light today, sitting high on the chair, Ding Jianpeng was also sitting next to him, Gu Shouzhen was also elated today, happier than his own marriage, constantly talking and laughing with Gu Xiaoliu, An Daoquan began to sing loudly as the officiant!

Worship heaven and earth! Two worship high halls! Husband and wife worship, Xiao Ming is alone here, but the bride has two people, the ancient man has three wives and four concubines, originally one wife, two side wives, so that it is the main house of the three wives, it is not that Xiao Ming is perverted, but the custom at that time is like this.

Say goodbye to heaven and earth, and then the bridesmaids of the wedding place step forward. Breaking the newlyweds' hair in a bun and then tying the couple's hair together and combing it into a bun is a ritual called "knotting". The bridesmaids sang verses while tying their hair together. The bridesmaids also handed each couple a purple gold bowl, and the bottom of the bowl was tied with red and green silk threads with "concentric knots" - this is the "union" ceremony of the newlyweds, that is, they both drink.

The ceremony is accompanied by the recitation of poems.

After drinking the wine, the bride and groom threw away the wine utensils. The bride threw it hard, and the groom tossed it gently - sure enough, the bride's glass jumped up when it hit the ground, and the groom fell to the ground and didn't move. When the crowd saw this phenomenon, they saluted in unison: "Good omen." The wine glass jumps and the other does not move, which the Song people thought meant that many boys would be born.

After that, the bridesmaid brought a tray, which was the "Ten Objects of Love", the bridesmaid first took off the first love object from the first plate, the bracelet, and put it on the bride's hand, while chanting: "Why is it so broad? Double jade bracelet around the wrist. The bridesmaids took the second object from the plate, the armband, put it on the bride, and sang, "Why do you make a fist?" The arms are double-jumped. ”

The third object was a ring, and she then chanted, "Why is it so kind? Approximately a pair of silver. The women sang together: "Twist the ring and be lovesick, see the ring and remember each other." May you always keep playing, and there is no end to the cycle" This ring is the most special, because unmarried women in ancient times did not wear rings, because the ring is a token of marriage or love, so this smallest token is the heaviest in the heart of a woman, and it is the same today. Stretch out your hand and let the person on the other side put it on for you, and then, either happily wear it for a lifetime, or, sooner or later, one day cry at it until your heart breaks.

The fourth object is earrings, the fifth piece of love sachets, the sixth piece of love jade pendant, the seventh love object is the concentric knot, the eighth love object is the golden hairpin, the ninth love object is the hairpin, the tenth piece is the thorn skirt, each is a double copy, and there are also singing, the wedding has come to an end, the groom plucks a flower from the bride's crown, the bridesmaids sing verses, the bride unties the knot on the groom's crown, and then, the flowers are scattered on the bed. Flowers often symbolize sex in the imagery of Song Dynasty poetry, and this is no exception, as it is the final ritual of "sprinkling the tent".

The two brides were sent into the cave room, Xiao Ming came out to accompany the guests, the banquet could not be placed in the hall, and even more than a dozen tables were placed in the courtyard, Xiao Ming did not pull a table, all went up to toast, this wine was drunk a lot, especially the tables of the tiger guards brought by Luo Wen, Xiao Ming almost took the jar and poured it into his mouth, and the Longshan Burning Workshop almost used a cart to pull wine here, and he was afraid that it would not be enough to drink.

The major businesses in Hangzhou have a good relationship with Richanglong, the Su family is a local wealthy family, and they have a wide range of friends.

"This wine is drunk! It's a wine vat! ”

"If the bridegroom is drunk, I'm afraid that Shou Weng will be unhappy! Ha ha! ”

Su Bi was happy today, and made an exception to drink a few more glasses, listening to what the guests said below, he was also distressed about his son-in-law, so he asked Yun Niang to persuade the aunt into the inner hall, saying that he could not snub the bride, and the guests laughed, they knew that the wine could not get drunk Xiao Ming at all, so they gave up, originally the wedding was going to make trouble until the candle was extinguished, and during this period of time, the guests who came could play pranks and make things difficult for the newlyweds, but today they let Xiao Ming go.

Xiao Ming was led to the cave room by Yun Niang, at this time Xiao Ming finally felt that the wine was a little up, and he drank so much liquid in his stomach, how could he go to the toilet, so he called Yun Niang and asked her to help herself to make it convenient, Yun Niang was flushed and helped Xiao Ming to pee, Xiao Ming was violently excited, this time he felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly apologized to the brew.

Yun Niang lowered her head and said, "Uncle doesn't need to apologize, Yun Niang is my blessing to serve my uncle!" ”

Yun Niang helped Xiao Ming sit in the garden of the inner court to sober up, Xiao Ming stared at Yun Niang for a long time, and said in his heart: "Is there really such a similar person in this world?" Yun Niang was very uncomfortable with Xiao Ming, and couldn't help asking, "Why is my aunt staring at me?" ”

Xiao Ming said: "It's nothing. I just remembered a person, she is also my girl, I have been too busy these days, I can't take care of her, and I snubbed her! ”

In the corner of the wall in the distance, a person sighed faintly: "He finally remembered me, should I be happy for him?" It's a pity that the bride is not me......" glanced at Xiao Ming in the distance resentfully, and slowly retreated.

"Uncle is really a good person, and he is really considerate to his subordinates!" Yun Niang said.

Xiao Ming said: "You go down, I'm fine, I'll go in in a while" He sent Yun Niang away and looked at her back and left, and couldn't help but say softly: "Mom and Dad!" After my son got married, my daughter-in-law was the daughter of a big business, and she was a celebrity, everything was fine with me! I miss you very much, I have started a family here, and I hope you are happy for me......! ”

Xiao Ming pushed the door of the cave room open, only to find that it was very lively inside, Cai'er and Bottle'er, the two brides and a group of girls were playing, after seeing Xiao Ming, everyone, giggling and laughing, Xiao Ming looked at the two brides, both of them were red, and asked with great interest: "What are you talking about?" So happy? ”

Shen Bei'er stabbed Cai'er, Cai'er blushed and said, "Don't tell you!" ”

Xiao Ming said: "I am your father-in-law now, I want to say a few words to you, the man took off the hijab himself before entering the cave room, which is very unseemly!" Ahem! That bottle, I also drank the wine myself, how can I serve the husband for a while? ”

Bottle said: "Cut! It's not that I haven't seen it before, so I still have to cover my head? You're going to play with your husband's temper now, and I don't know how you'll bully me and Cai'er in the future! Cai'er, we won't let him go to bed today, hehe! ”

"Good! Dare to talk to your father-in-law like this, see if I don't clean you up! Xiao Ming pounced on the second daughter, the children screamed, fell to the gum, Xiao Ming followed and got in, Qiluo red tent suddenly spring is infinite, the three of them are playing on the gum, the three of them have experienced hardships together, they have been happy together, after more than two years, they are finally together! Slowly, the red candle jumped, and the light went out......!

After a long time, the bottle said: "Xianggong, you are so amazing! Cai'er and I can't stand you, you can't see Cai'er's pain! Cai'er said: "I'm fine, Xianggong is very gentle with me!" ”

"You! When I can't see him, I always tell me, Xiao Lang, Xiao Lang's, seeing that he has finally become a wolf! If you don't hurt, I still hurt! ”

Xiao Ming said: "I was too anxious just now, it can't be really injured, right?" ”

Cai'er, bottle: "Woo woo......! ”

"Then tell me, what were you talking about? Well, it must not be a good word, Cai'er is thin-skinned, you say bottle"

Bottle said: "Just now the two of us bet on the game, see who will accompany you first tonight...... Who knew you could do it for the two of us...... Cai'er, don't tickle me! Hee-hee! ”

Xiao Ming looked at this, the jade face was shy, looked at the pretty face and smiled, and one of them kissed the face and smiled: "Haha, now I'll stew you with a spoonful of it!" After saying that, he pounced again......

"Ahh The second daughter was screaming again, and the gums were shaking rhythmically...... □□□□□□□□□□□□□□ (13,700 words omitted here)

The night was getting darker, and the banquet outside slowly dispersed, and when it was time for the fourth watch, suddenly the alarm cloud board in the Su Mansion sounded four times in a row, and then four again! Cai'er and Bottle'er all woke up, Xiao Ming said, "You guys continue to sleep, I'll go and see!" With that, he got dressed and got out of bed, got up and opened the door and went out.

The subordinates and mother-in-law outside were running, very busy, Xiao Ming stopped one of them and asked, "What happened?" ”

The man said: "Oh no, Old Master Su has gone to ......!" ”
