Actor he doesn't want to be a eunuch

Chapter 1094

When he arrived at the courtyard, Qian Chen got out of the car first and waited at the door—it must be the main entrance.

It is impossible to marry a wife through the back door or the side door.

The main entrance of the courtyard is generally not open, mainly because the alley is too narrow and inconvenient.

Make an exception today and open the front door to marry the bride.

After waiting for a while, An Qian came to the door in a sedan chair.

Although she had already been "married" once, she was still a little nervous. When she heard the Zanzhe (priest of the wedding) let her down, she quickly got out of the sedan chair.

Fortunately, she is an actress, otherwise she would not be quite used to it.

Her attire today is a horse face skirt, a long jacket with a vertical collar, a big shirt, a Xiapei and a phoenix crown.

The most eye-catching thing is the gorgeous headdress and the exquisite embroidery on the clothes. If anyone is knowledgeable, they will recognize that this is the style of a married woman married to a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty.

Qian Chen believes that although he was only the fourth rank in the Ming Dynasty, there was no precedent for eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty to marry wives with great fanfare.

As the first job, it shouldn't be a problem for him to be automatically promoted to the third level.

has a problem?
Then people from your old Zhu's family came to bite me.

Holding a round fan, Anxi walked over slowly, accompanied by two female martial artists and a Mrs. Degao.

This process is a bunch of processes.

What's more outrageous is that the Siheyuan even organized the ostentation of Jinyiwei, and many martial artists dressed in Jinyiwei's costumes stood around, looking very mighty.

Fortunately, the surrounding areas of these alleys have been cleared.

CTV wants to make a documentary for a strong reason, otherwise it will definitely be surrounded by people watching.

In this way, Qian Chen and Anxi's lair will be exposed.

Even if it is really exposed, it can be said that it is cooperating with CTV to make a documentary - anyway, the so-called truth known to ordinary people is what others want you to know.

After Anxi entered the gate, she stood on the right side of the gate.

Qian Chen was standing on the left side of the door to meet her, so the two stood facing each other.

The two saluted each other.

There are differences in etiquette between men and women. I have rehearsed yesterday, and they are all very standard.

It feels like after finishing this wedding, Anxi can use the knowledge she learned from this wedding to make costume dramas.

After that, there are many standard ceremonies such as the worship ceremony, the same prison ceremony, and the wedding ceremony.

Not to mention the chapel ceremony, this is one of the few ancient rituals today, but it varies from place to place, but the meaning is quite different.

After the worship, take the seat.

Before entering the table, clean your hands to show solemnity and sincerity.

It can also be called Wo wash.

So there are a lot of rituals in ancient weddings.

You have to follow the rules in almost every action, which is really unbearable for ordinary people.

A lot of traditional culture has been abandoned, not because everyone has no conscience, counting their ancestors and forgetting the classics, but because they really can't afford it, money can't afford it, and people can't afford it.

Take a seat after washing your hands, and continue with the next process—the wedding ceremony.

The wedding ceremony means that after the groom personally welcomes the bride into the house, the newlyweds drink wine together in the new house.

It is probably the current cup of wine.

Divide the bitter gourd into two, tie the cup with a red silk thread, and the couple each holds one half to drink, symbolizing the unity of the couple and implying that the husband and wife will be together forever.

Gourd tastes bitter, which means sharing joys and sorrows.

This is the so-called joint seal.

If you want to pull it crookedly, you can flick Haw, if you don't have a haw, you can flick... forehead.

The same prison ritual is also called a total prison.

It's not that we want to go to jail together and become brothers and sisters.

Prison, sacrifice also.

In ancient weddings, the new couple eats the same animal, which means the beginning of a common life.

Eat meat together.

This is not bad, both of them are a little hungry.

But you can't eat too much.

Because this is a ceremony, if the bride does not let go of the meat and yells at anyone who comes to snatch it, then this marriage must be cautious.

The newlyweds offer sacrifices to Tai, Ji, and lungs in turn, and serve the meal with soup and sauce. The ceremony is completed with three meals.

Both the prison and the wedding contain the meaning that husband and wife love each other, share weal and woe, share weal and woe, and unite as one from now on.

Anxi was tired and hungry, but she still finished the ceremony very politely.

Although tiring, such a solemn and solemn procedure is more ceremonial and solemn than a Western-style wedding. The wedding is purely for festive purposes. It takes another route, but some less festive things often happen. matter.

Originally, there was also a gift of untie knots.

"Untie the tassel" refers to the new husband personally removes the tassel from the bride's head for marriage. "Hair tie" refers to cutting off a bundle of hair from the bride and groom, and combing it together with red tassels.

This ceremony is full of sense, and there is also a saying of making a couple.

But in fact, this is rarely done in ancient rituals.

At least it is rare in noble weddings.

Because the ancients tabooed sharp knives for newlyweds, it was impossible to use scissors.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Putting scissors on the bedside is likely to be an assassination attempt—if the assassination is successful, it is called killing the husband, and if it is unsuccessful, it may increase the pleasure of the boudoir—unless the groom likes forced stimulation.

There are hand-holding ceremony and account-spreading ceremony.

The newcomer stood up and looked at each other.

"Death and life are bound together. Talk to Zicheng. Hold your hand and grow old with your son."

The tent-spreading ceremony is the night of the wedding. After the newlyweds worship each other and sit on the bed, all the women sprinkle concentric money and five-color fruits into the bed tent to pray for wealth, auspiciousness and more precious children.

Once that's done, all that's left is to go outside and toast.

In ancient social occasions, the groom at this time has the attributes of an important member of the family, no matter whether there is hair on the mouth or not, the affairs will be much more reliable.

Most of the Ming wedding ceremonies have already been completed.

There are many additions or deletions in this wedding, whether it is the program or the details.

If people from the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty were to watch it, they would probably sneer behind their backs—in front of a factory owner, most Zhongliang are actually not as upright as they are in film and television dramas.

But for people nowadays, such a set of procedures can only be described by the word "shock".

Because of the plot, duration, cost and other reasons, it is impossible for any film and television works to be restored like this.

For the programs that China Television plans to produce, many scenes have to be cut.

Or simply get out the upper, middle and lower phases.

But it is estimated that few people can be patient and watch from beginning to end.

There is a very, very different thing from ancient weddings, that is, the bride does not go out directly in the new house after arriving at her husband's house, and the groom toasts outside.

But this is the modern age after all, it would be really inappropriate for her to hide in the house.

"Eat some chocolate, drink some hot water, come."

Qian Chen felt sorry for his wife and served her something to eat.

If it were an ordinary person, the bridegroom officer would definitely not be able to stand such a set of procedures, and he might have to chew ginseng slices and go out to socialize.

Fortunately, Qian Chen has internal skills.

For today's wave, he slept for two extra hours yesterday, for a total of five hours.

So at this time, I can still be very energetic.

"Don't we want to go back to the old style? Why did you change this one?" An Xi didn't complain, she was really tired.

"It's a rare opportunity. It's rare to see so many elders at once. Go out with me for a walk, and you will be considered the real daughter-in-law of Qian and Yu's family." Qian Chen did it for An Qian's good. Not going out of the room, somewhat implying the low status of women.

Take its essence and discard its dross.

Retro does not mean copying, if you really let the bride go through the process and then shut up in the house without seeing anyone, that would be called feudal dross.

Many people who come today are elders.

Even if they are of the same generation, they all attend the wedding on behalf of the elders.

Therefore, the etiquette of the young couple must be sufficient.

The two changed their clothes, which were also ancient costumes, and then went out to toast.

Dad Qian and Professor Yu will follow.

This is a bit similar to many modern weddings.

Qian Chen mainly drank, and Anxi was in charge of pouring the wine.

The cup is a little mysterious.

It looks like a full glass has been poured, but in fact there is not much wine at all.If he really drinks with Qian Chen, Qian Chen can use this kind of wine glass to accompany him.

"This is Angie's uncle~"

"Uncle." Anxi called out obediently.

"Uncle, thank you for coming. I remember that I went to Anji six years ago and received your teachings. I haven't seen you for many years."

Qian Chen's memory is amazing, and he also has the memory of the original owner. As long as he has seen it, he doesn't need his father to introduce it.

"I can't help it when I'm old, but you young people can go out and stay in Anji for a few days if you have the opportunity." The old man is older than Dad Qian. oldest.

In addition to a small amount of cash, his gift list also gave a few volumes of ancient books.

Since Qian Chen and the others are hosting an ancient ceremony, the guests also follow some ancient customs.

It's just not exaggerated enough to wear ancient costumes to attend.

"We will definitely go." Qian Chen immediately promised.

"The little girl is very beautiful. Give your father a grandson soon."

Even if the toast is over for this drink, when it's the next person's turn, there are basically a few short words, a glass of wine, knowing that the bride and groom are busy, and they won't hold on to it.

"This is..." Dad Qian walked around two tables.

If Qian Chen could recognize him, he wouldn't bother to introduce him. He is already in his sixties and quite old.

"Second cousin, long time no see." Qian Chen knew him.

"Hi, second cousin." An Qian's task was to follow Qian Chen and greet people.

This second cousin is in his forties and is a cultural person.

Today's guests are not only the Zheng government departments, but also many companies and even media management, which belong to the more direct relationship.

Qian Chen brought An Qian to toast this circle of wine, which was more useful than the accumulation of many big names in the entertainment industry for a lifetime.

"Haha, cousin, I really didn't expect to become a family with you." The second cousin was a little bit emotional, but he didn't mean to look down on Anxi, and said, "You are also people in the cultural and tourism industry, and I have something to talk to you about. Let’s chat, let’s make an appointment for tea another day.”

"Second cousin, just let me know when you have time." Qian Chen took a business card from his pocket and handed it over.

He prepared a lot of business cards today.

The second cousin accepted the business card and didn't chat much, and asked the newcomer to toast the others.

"Sister-in-law is still in the publishing house?" Qian Chen also knew another guest, but he didn't have many contacts. There were too many relatives in the family, and it was impossible to contact all of them.

Especially in recent years, he has become an alternative.

"I've already retired, but your cousin is still here. If you have anything to do, you always keep in touch. I used to play with your dad when I was a child. Why do you have births in your generation? Sissy, right? Your cousin just gave birth. Child, if you have experience in giving birth, you can ask more questions if you have nothing to do."

The little girl was holding Anxi with a very affectionate look.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, we have time to see the baby." An Xi quickly agreed.

She also knew that the publishing house that Qian Chen could mention would definitely not be a small publishing house.

Although she has no plans to publish a book, it's good to get to know her.
