A few days later, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sheng Changbai went to Hai's house more often.

Because after the appointment, the couple cannot meet before marriage, Sheng Changbai will not be able to see Hai Chaoyun when he goes to Hai's house.

It's been three days and two days, it's the past to send a makeup gift.

The man sends pollen to the crown, and the woman returns to the flower head of the male dress. This is repeated several times, back and forth, until the last three days before the marriage, the act of reminding the makeup is over.

It is also the family of noble officials who have these particularities, and the family of ordinary people, it is enough to make up once.

On the day before the wedding, according to the wedding customs, the Hai family went to the Sheng family to make the bed.

It is said to be making the bed, but like later generations, it is actually sending the large dowry, which is difficult for the woman to transport, to the man's home in advance to arrange it in advance.

One piece of red furniture was carried into Sheng's house in boxes and cages like flowing water.

The courtyard where Sheng Changbai lived was filled to the brim.

Although a lot of things will be stored in the treasury later, the dowry has to be seen by others, and now it still has to be placed in the wedding room.

Marrying a daughter in the Great Zhou Dynasty, advocating generous marriage is not a joke.

The Sheng family only prepared a house. The furniture, furnishings, and decorations in the house were all from Haishi's dowry.

The furniture is all complete sets of furniture made of precious wood. After the marriage was settled, the Hai family sent people to the Sheng family to measure the size in advance.

Over the past few years, excellent craftsmen have been invited to carefully craft it.

The other boxes and cages are also filled with clothes, silk, satin, all kinds of calligraphy and painting, silk, porcelain, jade, bronze, all kinds of conceivable and unexpected supplies are prepared.

The 120 units alone are not enough to explain the richness of Hai's dowry.

In short, Hai Chaoyun is much richer than Sheng Changbai, a little rich woman.

When Sheng Changbai went to work abroad, he received [-] yuan.

But these money belonged to Sheng's family and could not be regarded as Sheng Changbai's private property.

If Sheng Changbai made some connections, he would have spent the living expenses, but if he didn't use up all the money, he still had to hand it over to the public office.

After returning to the capital, Sheng Changbai returned Zhuangzi's land deed and the remaining money to Sheng Hong.

In fact, Sheng Changbai also has to hand over his monthly salary. Although the Sheng family does not lack this, Sheng Changbai still has the attitude of living together as a family and living together.

Most of the money in Sheng Changbai's hand came from Wang Ruofu.

The big head is Wang Ruofu's dowry Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. After being handed over to Sheng Changbai for management, the financial benefits are also given to Sheng Changbai himself.

……

The next day, it was Sheng Changbai and Hai Chaoyun's wedding day.

On the wedding day, Sheng Changbai has been busy since early in the morning.

Get up early to greet the old lady, Sheng Hong, and Wang Ruofu, and then have dinner.

After breakfast, Sheng Changbai got busy and began to entertain some early guests.

Some of Sheng Changbai's colleagues from the same year came earlier, and they are the ones who will follow Sheng Changbai to the Hai family to welcome his relatives.

There are also family members and servants from various families who come to give gifts.

Many people were unable to attend due to various reasons such as working abroad or holding important positions, and they were reserved, and they basically sent people to bring gifts early.

After all, Sheng Changbai's contacts were basically literati, and the gift money was more elegant.

Usually some elegant things, fans, calligraphy and paintings, inkstones and the like, plus some gift money.

There is no uniform standard for gift money, and it varies according to family background, family assets, and closeness.

Because there is a reason why there is an elegant thing that is not easy to measure the value of.

Give more or less gift money, but it won't be ugly.

When the time was almost up, Sheng Changbai took a few friends and colleagues of the same age, and set off to the Hai family to welcome his relatives.

Of course, all the guests at home were reserved for Sheng Hong to entertain.

Because Sheng Changbai married Hai Chaoyun, there were unexpectedly many guests.

There are quite a few families who have good relations with the Hai family, and there are more students and old officials of the Hai family.

This kind of scene is suitable for Sheng Hong, who is exquisite in all directions and dances wildly with long sleeves.

Although the Sheng family has a small population, Sheng Hong can serve several people alone, so he won't neglect the guests.

Sheng Changbai rode a horse, leaning on the open road in front, followed by his friend pretending to be a peddler, holding vases, flower candles, incense balls, makeup sets, photo stands, skirt boxes, clothes boxes, lily knots, cool umbrellas and other things, surrounding the sedan chair.

In the end, dozens of musicians and singers followed.

Then he walked to the inner city, and when he reached the gate of the Hai family, the drums continued to play, and the doorman called for the door.

During the Great Zhou Dynasty, wedding customs can be said to have basically taken shape.

The process of receiving relatives and calling the family already existed in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the solution is very similar to that of later generations.

The first one is to continue playing the music, just let the musicians play the make-up reminder vigorously. This is the simplest way, and it can be done.

The second is to throw coins. As long as the red seal is big enough, the door can be opened by itself.

The third one is the most elegant and the most difficult.

"Open the door, we're getting married." The men of the house knocked on the door and shouted.

The door of the Hai family opened with a bang, but there were still many people blocking the doorway pretending to be a human wall.

"It is said that Tan Hualang is talented and literary, and if he wants to marry a girl from our Hai family, he doesn't even have to make a makeup poem, so how can he do it?" said a person headed by the Hai family.

"Zecheng, make up poems, but I can see you making poems again. You have a good poetic talent, but you have been hiding it all the time. What's the matter, I see how you can hide it today. "

Not only the Hai family watched the fun, but also friends around Sheng Changbai also booed and watched the fun.

Sheng Changbai has no poetic talent, he is just a porter of culture.

It is impossible for Sheng Changbai to write whatever he wants, and more importantly, writing poems and prose conflicts with Sheng Changbai's pragmatic thinking.

Therefore, after Sheng Changbai moved a few famous pieces on necessary occasions, he did not continue.

"The crystal tent is lit with silver candles, and the wind shakes the pearls and the clouds are clear. Xiu is evenly decorated with red and pink flowers, and I will drive Shuangluan back to Yujing early."

Knowing that coming to a scholarly family like the Sheng family to greet relatives is indispensable, Sheng Changbai came prepared.

"Good poetry, open the door, brothers and sisters!"

"Don't worry, I heard that Tanhualang is good at both literature and martial arts. Let's read the literature. Do you want to have a look at Tanhualang's martial arts?"

"If you want a martial arts competition, you can go together."

Sheng Changbai said confidently.The children of the Hai family looked like ordinary literati.

Even if you maintain some literati traditions and practice some martial arts, defense, and archery, it is impossible to compare with real warriors.

Even if there are ten or eight of them, Sheng Changbai doesn't pay attention to them.

"Tanhualang, it's a happy day, don't be violent, let's compare archery."

Seeing Sheng Changbai's confidence, the Hai family's children said quickly.

"Get the bow."

In the fight, Sheng Changbai was just joking, after all, this was a wedding call, and it was impossible to really fight.

It is said to be an investigation of martial arts, but in fact it is still the way of literati, talking about wars on paper, talking about it, and debating it.

It is more about Biyi archery, the easy difficulty is Biyi throwing pots, the normal difficulty is Biyi archery, and the high difficulty is Biyi riding archery.

The Hai family had already made preparations, and within a short amount of effort, the target was set up on the side of the street.

"I'll come first."

Sheng Changbai took the bow from the servant of the Hai family, took a pot of arrows, and got on the horse.

When the imperial horse was eighty steps away from the target, the horse picked up speed, drew the bow and set the arrow, and shot out a pot of arrows in one round.

Five targets, each with two arrows, all hit the bulls-eye.

This time Sheng Changbai also showed his peak level.

"A hundred hits, a hundred steps to penetrate Yang, good shooting skills!" Xinglang from Sheng Changbai's side shouted in support.

"Come, come, come, I'll give you the red envelope, and I'll go in now."

Sheng Changbai stuffed the prepared red seal from Liu Tao's hand into the arms of the leader of the Hai family who was stunned, and led them into the Hai family.

The Hai family was a powerful family in the troubled times of the previous dynasty, not an upstart like the Sheng family.

The house is not only located in the inner city, but also much bigger than the Sheng family's house.

Sheng Changbai walked through the hall, arrived at the main hall of the Hai family, and met his father-in-law-to-be and mother-in-law.

The prospective father-in-law deliberately chose this time to return to Beijing to report on his work, just to watch his daughter get married.

After Sheng Changbai arrived, Hai Chaoyun also covered his face with a round fan, and walked to the hall in a red dress.

The wedding dresses of the Great Zhou Dynasty were red for men and green for women.

But there is also a saying that high marriages wear green and low marriages wear red.

The quasi-father-in-law is already a transshipment envoy in charge of several roads, and a big official in the frontier.The official position is far above Sheng Changbai, so of course Hai Chaoyun is wearing a red dress.

Sheng Changbai was more comfortable looking at the red wedding dress.

Sheng Changbai and Hai Chaoyun bowed to Mrs. Hai and Mrs. Hai together, while Hai Chaoyun's uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters-in-law, sisters and brothers-in-law and other close relatives watched.

"From now on, the two of you should live in harmony as a husband and wife, work together, respect each other as guests, and do a good job of spreading the branches and leaves of the Sheng family." Mr. Hai instructed.

"From now on, you husband and wife will be in charge of foreign affairs and women in charge of internal affairs. Husbands will sing and wives will follow, work together with one heart and one mind, and shine on the lintel of the family." Mrs. Hai then instructed.

After Sheng Changbai and Hai Chaoyun met, it was over for the Hai family.

He sent Hai Chaoyun to the bridal sedan chair, continued to play music, and welcomed him back to the Sheng family.

When they returned, there were dozens more people, all of whom were Hai Chaoyun's dowry.

Except for the maids, mother-in-law, and servants who serve Hai Chaoyun.

Among these people, Hai Chaoyun even took care of the farm and the manager of the shop.

After arriving at the entrance of Sheng's house, the bride needs to eat her husband's family meal in the sedan chair.

Then get off the sedan chair, step over the saddle, step over the grass, and finally step over the scale, all you want is a meaning of peace and security.

"Worship the ancestral hall."

After people enter the house, they first go to the ancestral hall to meet the gods and ancestors.

"Bye Gaotang."

Then from the ancestral hall, move to the main hall, and meet the high hall.

"Happy husband and wife."

Finally, from the main hall to the new house, the husband and wife pay their respects.

Although compared with later generations, almost all of them worshiped these three times, but it is still a lot of trouble to change three places.

When doing these things, the bride always covers her face with a round fan, which is really not as convenient as covering her head.

After the bride enters the new house, she just waits in the room.

Sheng Changbai can't let things go like this, he has to go out to accompany the guests.

Accompanied by dozens of tables of guests, Sheng Changbai could only say that fortunately he could cheat.

Otherwise, the alcohol content is not high, but if you drink too much, you will be intoxicated.

After dealing with the guests, it was naturally the wedding night in the bridal chamber.

Sheng Changbai has experience, so naturally he won't let others make trouble in his bridal chamber, and clears them out early.

……

No accident, when I went to serve tea to my parents the next day, Wang Ruofu set up the score.

Not only was he blackfaced all the time, but he also said some inappropriate things about asking Hai Chaoyun to help Sheng Changbai in his career.

Although the matter is such a matter, it would be too hurtful to only talk about benefits.

Because of Hai Chaoyun's height, Wang Ruofu was afraid that he would not be able to hold down his daughter-in-law, so he wanted to give her daughter-in-law a bad blow from the very first day.

Ask the daughter-in-law to set rules, set a schedule in the morning and evening, and serve meals.

"Chaoyun, take care of my mother."

Although I know that Hai Chaoyun is more than enough to deal with a simple-minded Wang Ruofu, but I still need to care about it.

"This is something every daughter-in-law has to go through, and it's what I should do, so there's nothing to worry about."

After all, Hai Chaoyun received such an education, and it was not as unbearable as Sheng Changbai thought.

"You serve for a few days first, and after a few days, I'll go and talk to my mother."

It was definitely not possible to find Wang Ruofu a few days ago.

Whether the daughter-in-law should set the rules is a status dispute among women in the feudal inner house.

As a mother-in-law, Wang Ruofu must first establish her own authority.

With so many maids and maids in rich families, of course there is no shortage of people to serve them.

The reason why the daughter-in-law must serve is to establish the status of the family.

As for the time for the daughter-in-law to set the rules, it can be handled very flexibly.

Under normal circumstances, it is one to three years. In extreme cases, there will be a few days, a few months, or even a lifetime of rules.

The Sheng family now has a small family of [-] people, and there must be no clear leader in the back house.

On the third day, when the newlyweds returned home for three dynasties, Sheng Changbai took Hai Chaoyun back to Hai's house.

"Meet father-in-law, mother-in-law."

It's nothing complicated, just came to Hai's house with some gifts.

No matter what era it is, it's the same. After returning home, the daughter will be called away by the mother-in-law.

The son-in-law can only play with the father-in-law and brother-in-law.

Weng and his son-in-law are both officials, and although they started talking about daily life, they unconsciously turned to politics.

"Zecheng, what you did at Yushitai can be considered smooth?"

"It's okay. Although things have to be done according to the wishes of the officials, it's not a waste of time at Yushitai. You can always clean up some silverfish for the court."

Because the old Zhao family and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together and treated scholars favorably, the administration of officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty was really not good.

"Zecheng, please bear with me for a while longer. When I went to the official family to say goodbye, I heard that the official family already had the intention of letting go of the matter of opposing the crown prince. After the official family appoints the crown prince, I think I won't be here. It's hard for you."

Sheng Changbai and Hai Chaoyun's marriage is over, this old man should really go back to his hometown.

After all, he is also an important member of one party, and it is normal for the old emperor to ventilate first if he wants to bid farewell to Bianjing and return to his hometown.

"Father-in-law, are the officials interested in King Yong?"

Although King Yong is domineering and has not shown any ability to govern the world, but for the old Zhao family, having more sons is the biggest advantage.
