Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 166 Faint Ritual! (seeking subscription)
On Xinhai Day in March, everything will be fine.

The weather was fine, and the bright sun lasted all day long. It was not until dusk that the sun reluctantly set to the west, and everyone in the palace went to the courtyard where the ancestors were worshipped.

Soon.

Wang Li came with his younger sister Wang Shuru.

Wang Ben is still not sober, an elder brother is like a father, and Wang Li, as Wang Ben's eldest son, naturally has to handle the marriage on behalf of his father.

Wang Shuru walked slowly.

She was wearing a solemn dress.

Xuanyi clothes.

The upper garment is slightly reddish black, which symbolizes the sky, and the lower garment is yellowish red, which symbolizes the earth, which is why the heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow.

The people in the palace began to offer sacrifices to their ancestors. After offering tribute, burning incense, kowtowing, reading sacrificial texts, and burning bamboo slips, the temple was also shrouded in smoke.

There was no so-called phoenix coronet, nor the so-called red hijab. Wang Shuru just stood in front of the crowd, watching the solemn and solemn scene quietly, her eyes were already red.

The surrounding Wang clan members looked happy.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, they also talked and laughed in the temple.

The air is filled with the aroma of tributes and incense, which makes people feel that they are still in a sacrificial atmosphere.

The Qin Dynasty also paid attention to the faint rituals of the official marriage of the bright matchmaker.

This "hun" does not refer to men and women sending "hun" together, but refers to the time when the ceremony is held--dusk, people in the Qin Dynasty prefer yin and yang, and dusk is the time when the sun and the moon alternate, which coincides with the meaning of the blending of yin and yang , very connotative and very artistic conception.

The process of the evening ritual is the "six rituals".

Na Cai, ask for your name, Najib, Na Zheng, ask for a date, and welcome you personally.

Nacai is the man who sends a matchmaker to the woman to propose marriage. After the woman's family agrees, the matchmaker sends a wild goose as a gift. In ancient times, the wild goose symbolized loyalty to the spouse.

Asking the name means that the matchmaker will ask the woman's name, birth date, etc.

Najib, knowing the names and birthdays of both parties, used the tortoise shell to divination the future of the marriage. If the result is auspicious, the two parties will be officially engaged.

Nazheng is equivalent to the dowry gift of later generations, and its symbolic meaning is greater than its economic value. In the past, families of scholar-bureaucrats only needed to send three bolts of cloth and two bolts of silk, which were tied together with colored silk. This is also the origin of the dowry.

Please period, the man decides the auspicious date of marriage, informs the woman's family and obtains consent.

Welcome, the fiancé drives a carriage to marry.

Wang Li looked serious.

He looked at it with a complicated expression, and there was quite a bit of reluctance in his eyes.

I don't know how long.

The rattling of a carriage was faintly heard outside.

The crowd immediately fell silent.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Hu Hai.

Hu Hai tied his hair and wore a crown, and also wore 'xuanyi clothes'. He had a handsome face and fair skin. Wearing a loose dress, he looked quite heroic.

Many people in Wang's eyes lit up.

Hu Hai looked solemn.

Apparently someone had told him that beforehand.

Wang Li nodded slightly, and stood next to the ancestral temple. At this time, Hu Hai also saluted.

It's a great gift.

I saw Hu Hai kneeling on the ground first, with his legs separated back, and then pressing his hands together, with the palms facing inward, as he bowed his hands down, his head slowly kowtowed to the ground.

finally.

His hands were on the ground in front of his knees, and his head touched the back of his hands.

Kowtowed twice so slowly.

There was an old man from the Wang family beside him, and he said in a long voice: "Bai and then Jishou, it's a success!"

After solemnly performing the salute, Wang Li stretched out his hand and said, "My lord, please stand up."

Hu Hai stood up, eyes full of joy.

He was speechless, and all his eyes fell on the girl beside him.

The girl is not very old, about fifteen or sixteen years old, but she has already shown her figure, her flexible and beautiful waist, her slim figure, and the outer layer of black and slightly red soft deep clothes, all of which make Hu Hai heartbroken. Ripples.

a time.

Hu Hai was bewildered.

It wasn't until Wang Li's call that Hu Hai woke up, blushing and bowing to everyone.

The members of the Wang family smiled lightly, and did not blame them. After saluting, Hu Hai also took Wang Shuru out of the palace.

There are several carriages parked outside the house.

Hu Hai took a deep breath. He naturally knew the rules of Hunli. He had to drive the carriage around the spot three times before returning the carriage to the driver.

As Hu Hai, there is actually no need to do these things.

But in order to show his respect for the palace, Hu Hai also worked hard these days, and he really went to learn how to drive a horse. After going out, he got into the carriage directly, drove the horse around three times, and then invited Wang Shuru up.

Of course, after picking up Wang Shuru, he himself went to another carriage and led Wang Shuru on the way home.

In this era, people generally believed that the husband's family was the woman's real home, and it was natural to go home after marrying, so a woman's marriage was called "return".

Following the rattle of several carriages and horses, the welcoming convoy left the palace and headed for the palace.

Seeing this, Wang Li called softly, "Little sister."

Wang Ping comforted:
"My little sister's big day, why should my brother be sad?"

"My brother must have seen the actions of Mr. Hu Hai just now, and he is already very sincere. Mr. Hu Hai has spent a lot of time thinking about marrying my younger sister recently. I think he will not treat my younger sister badly in the future."

Wang Li shook his head and said:
"It's only temporary after all."

"Before Ah Weng fell into a coma, he specifically told me that our Wang family should not participate in the battle for the crown prince. Now that my younger sister is married to Mr. Hu Hai, it is up to us to do what happens in the future. If our Wang family is weak, my younger sister can still be killed. So respectful?"

"Right now, we and the tenth son are related by marriage. Even if we want to get rid of the relationship in the future, I'm afraid no one in the court will believe it."

"I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just worried about my little sister."

"She's too young."

"In the past, she was loved and loved at home. If she went to the palace, was bullied and neglected, how could she bear it alone without us by her side?"

"Ugh."

Wang Ping was also silent, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said:

"My little sister is married to Mr. Huhai after all, no one in the palace would dare to bully her, not to mention it's His Majesty's will. Now that my Wang family is suffering, I should use some happy events to celebrate my joy. Brother, don't worry too much."

"I don't think Mr. Hu Hai is a heartless person."

Wang Li let out a long sigh, and just stood at the door, looking at the carriage that had long since disappeared.

the other side.

excited home.

Qin Luoheng and Lang were invited to attend.

Weddings in this era are simple and quiet.

There is no hijab, no noisy wedding banquet, no bridal chamber, not even the well-known etiquette of "one worship to heaven and earth and second worship to high hall".

Just a simple meal with acquaintances.

Lang stood at the door and walked up and down, looking nervous, as if he was marrying a wife, and he was still muttering.

"It's been so long, why hasn't this carriage returned yet?"

"Isn't this 'way home' too long?"

Qin Luoheng chuckled, "Aren't you already married? Why? Still not familiar with this process?"

Lang curled his lips and said:

"Is this familiar or not familiar?"

"I just got married once."

"At that time, I was fourteen or fifteen years old and didn't know anything. I drove a borrowed carriage in a daze. When I picked up my wife, I was so nervous that I lowered my head and didn't dare to look up. My aunt took my wife When I reached out my hand, I almost didn't dare to reach out."

"It's really embarrassing!"

As Lang spoke, his eyes were full of emotion.

Qin Luoheng smiled.

He has never been married, but he has seen many weddings in the past, but it is the first time that such a quiet wedding is like today. He feels a little strange. The weddings of later generations are extremely lively, and there are even many farces. The wedding of the era is extremely quiet, it is just a matter between two families.

If it wasn't for the matchmaking by myself and Lang this time, the two of them might not be able to participate.

Qin Luoheng actually understood.

More people need more chopsticks. Now that the production capacity is low, most people don’t have enough to eat and wear. How can there be extra food for other people to eat?If the family can squeeze in two carriages, hire a coachman, buy a gourd, and buy some dim meat, the family is considered to be well off.

As for inviting relatives and friends, only powerful families can do that.

At dusk, the sky is full of red clouds.

Two carriages drove slowly into the street, surrounded by children from time to time on their tiptoes, looking at the two carriages curiously, and in the other carriage, Fen had a joyful smile on his face, even though his wife was not there. In this carriage.

Soon.

The carriage stopped outside the door.

Fen jumped directly from the carriage, went to another carriage, called the other party's name softly, then seemed to think of something, and quickly changed his words: "Wife, I'm home."

Slowly, a beautiful figure came up and down from the carriage, but she covered her face with a fan the whole time, so that outsiders could not see her appearance clearly, and she was indeed in good shape.

Lang winked at the door.

Fen was all smiles, but still pretended to be serious, and led his wife into the house, but they didn't go to see their parents, but went straight back to the new house.

Fen's parents did not show up.

Fen and his wife will go to salute them tomorrow.

Regarding this approach, Qin Luoheng thinks it is very humane. On the night of the bridal chamber, there are not so many irrelevant people making noise in front of him. How about a bridal chamber?

Lang and Qin Luoheng sat in the hall.

Lang smiled and said:
"Brother Qin, don't think too much."

"The evening ceremony is not over yet, the two of you will have to 'join the prison (jin)' later, you said that the two of us worked so hard to run up and down, and ended up eating a little snack, so this kid went to pick it up Alone, when he came back he ate meat and drank alcohol."

Then he looked at Qin Luoheng, raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Qin, when are you going to marry those three ladies back? I have to say that Brother Qin is very powerful. Not only is he capable, he is also first-class in recruiting women. "

"Lang, I'm really envious."

Qin Luoheng was stunned for a moment, and smiled wryly: "Don't be joking, those three ladies are from wealthy families, how can I get ahead of them? Even if I do marry a wife, I will only marry one."

"Three."

Qin Luoheng also admired Lang's idea.

Lang pouted.

laughed:

"I'm not mistaken, it's three."

"Do you know the names of those three ladies?"

Qin Luoheng nodded hesitantly.

"That's all right. If those three ladies didn't like you, how could they tell you their names?" Lang said, "Although the customs are open now, girls can't tell anyone their names casually. Before they get married, they can only tell their surnames. If you tell me your full name"

"You know."

Lang Chao winked at Qin Luoheng.

　Let's do two updates today, my mind is a bit confused.
　　I owe four more.

　　emmm fifth watch.
