The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 639 Customs
The make-up poem was recited, and the gift money was also given, so naturally there was no reason to stop him.

The door opened, and Long'er dressed in red walked out of the room with the support of the matchmaker. When the matchmaker saw Gao Jun, she gave Gao Jun one side of the red hydrangea in the bride's hand.

A group of people walked towards the hall with a pair of Bi people.

The bride had to say goodbye to her elders before going out, and Long'er had to kneel in the hall to say goodbye to Zhong Zishuo.

At this point, the matter of Gao Jun's wedding was more than half done. After leaving the gate of Dongshanhou's Mansion, Gao Jun also faced the last problem, which was the barrier car.

The so-called barrier car means that on the day of the wedding, the woman gathers people on the road and makes a lot of noise. The bride's car can't move until the bride's car can't go, and the south must give a lot of property, wine and food before it can go. It becomes a "barrier car" .

This custom is to cherish daughters and create an opportunity for people to express their wishes or invite rewards.

However, the popularity of the car barrier has also brought about many disadvantages. For example, the marriage between some high-ranking families, the woman will use this to extort money. Not only that, but there are also some officials in the local area who use the car barrier to search for the people's fat and anointment .

However, the barrier car in the Hou's Mansion was naturally just a simple expression of blessings, and when it arrived, it was just a collection of money.

Gao Jun and Long'er grew up with some people in the house, so the relationship is naturally unusual, so if the noise is too much, no one will care, the more noisy, the more eager they are to the new couple blessings.

The welcoming team walked all the way around Chang'an City, and then returned to Gao Jun's mansion.
Gao Jun's house has also been dressed up a long time ago. On the southwest corner of the courtyard of the two people's new house in the backyard, there is a door in the open air, which is called "Green Cottage".

The bride wants to step into the Qinghu from the special felt mat, and the parents-in-law want to follow the bride's footsteps in order to suppress the spirit of the daughter-in-law. This matter naturally falls on Gao Yuan, brothers The two are orphans. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father, and Gao Yuan cannot escape.

According to the custom, after the bride gets married, she must worship the pigsty and the stove first, and then the husband and wife worship.

Gao Jun and Long'er worshiped the pigpen and the stove, and then under the guidance of the matchmaker, they went to the hall. At this time, the hall was already overcrowded. Most of them were brothers from the Shenhou's mansion and their acquaintances on weekdays. Don't miss it. people, such as Fang Yiai and others.

After three worships, Long'er and Gao Jun were sent to the new house by the matchmaker, and the green house was just for show, and the two of them would not stay in the good new house and live in the green house. The daughter-in-law's vigor is just a process, even if Gao Jun has that kind of heart, I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage.

The matchmaker took the couple back to the new house, naturally there was still work to be done, after entering the new house, the matchmaker grabbed a handful of fruits from the plate carried by the maid behind her, and sprinkled them on the bed, which is called spreading the tent, spreading the tent It is equivalent to the sprinkle candy and sprinkle fruit in later generations. This custom originated from the marriage of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Mrs. Li, and it has continued until now and has become a custom.It is not only sprinkled with happy fruits, but also copper coins, implying prosperous wealth, early birth of precious sons, and abundant grains.

It is well known that poetry was popular in the Tang Dynasty, so there are also special poems for spreading the tent.

The poem says: "A pair of blue and white pigeons circles the tent three or five times, and walks around the tent three times for the sake of speaking."

Gao Junlong'er and his wife sat down on the bed respectively after paying their respects, and started tossing money and fruits to the children who came to the wedding, while chanting the article "Shan Zhanger Wish".

"Tonight is an auspicious day. Zhong's daughter and Gao's son get married. After the vows are fulfilled, I will live forever and keep Jichang. Five men and two women, slaves and maidservants will go together... After I wish, I will go around the tent three times."

Casting the tent is a very important ceremony whether it is among the common people or among the scholar-bureaucrats, so it must not be sloppy. Everyone stood at the door and watched the ceremony of the two seriously. The adults led them out.

In addition to spreading the tent, there is also the etiquette of covering and cooling fans in the new house. Men sit on the east side, women sit on the west, and women use flower fans to cover their faces." When going to the fan, the groom must recite the poem "Turning the Fan".

Xuan Shijing can be considered to have a close look at the whole set of wedding procedures, from welcoming the bride to the wedding night in the bridal chamber, every custom procedure is inseparable from poems and songs.

There are already so many rules in this ordinary family, if you marry a princess, that would be even more extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Xuan Shijing looked at Fang Yiai who was standing beside her.

Fang Yiai also felt Xuan Shijing's gaze beside her, and looked at Xuan Shijing: "What are you looking at me for?"

"Suddenly I feel sorry for Brother Fang." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Poor? Why did Xiaojing say that?" Fang Yiai was confused by Xuan Shijing's words.

"Brother Fang, Gao Jun married Long'er today, and after a long day of tossing, I was so tired and panicked. Today, I have seen some customs of this wedding, but all of them are inseparable from poems. This is still an ordinary family. Marriage, Brother Fang, think about it when you and Princess Gao Yang get married, do you feel that you have nothing to love in an instant?" Xuan Shijing said with a smirk.

Fang Yiai was taken aback when she heard the words, she didn't expect Xuan Shijing to think of this when she saw Gao Jun getting married, but what they said was not unreasonable, ordinary people get married, abide by the customs and etiquette, it is not difficult for the groom to spend a whole day, Just like Gao Jun, the money opened the way, didn't he get the bride smoothly?
But "marrying" the princess is different. It is better to say "marrying" the princess than marrying the princess. First of all, in order to show the royal dignity, there are as many etiquettes as there are, from His Majesty's decree to grant marriage to Two people get married for real, as short as half a year, as long as three to five years, this is all possible, and on the day of marriage, a set of etiquette has been followed, and the groom's official is more than enough to describe it as losing half his life.

Thinking of this, Fang Yi'ai couldn't help shaking her body, but then she thought about it, man, life has to go through such a thing, after thinking it through, Fang Yi'ai looked at Xuan Shijing.

"Why does Xiaojing still care about me? Don't tell my brother that you don't like Princess Jinyang, and you won't be able to escape when the time comes." If you heard Xuan Shijing teasing yourself before, think about Xuan Shijing, Fang Yiai couldn't help gloating.

It is not easy to marry this beloved jewel of His Majesty, maybe there will be more embarrassments in the future.

Xuan Shijing pursed his lips, this man is really ah, the fire was burning, and it burned himself, Xuan Shijing sighed, yes, in the future, he will have to go through this too.

There is more than ever.
