Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 37 The Big Wedding Day
"Compassion for the Farmers" is undeniably a good poem, but Chen Qingsi's purpose in writing "Compassion for the Farmers" was to become famous, to attract the attention of possible court envoys, and to avoid the possibility that even the court envoys would not know that he existed. .

For some reason, the appearance of "Compassion for the Farmers" is a bit abrupt, with no story to speak of. It is simply a good poem that is in line with the reality of Jiangnan.

If the Xiao family hadn't added fuel to the fire later, the scope of influence would have been limited to Yixing County.

Even with the help of the Xiao family, the poems spread among the people, but no one cared about the unknown author, which belongs to the category of poems that are popular but not popular.

But the quality and artistic conception of this song "Shang Li Yong" is the best choice, plus it is full of inspirational gimmicks.A love story between a country boy who cannot even be called a poor family and a wealthy lady.The poor boy defeated the top rich boy, won the beauty back, faced difficulties, composed a poem, used Dapeng to express his ambition, and used Confucius to despise the five surnames. What a wonderful and bloody plot.

A family with five surnames is the dream of the scholarly community, and everyone yearns for it.But just because everyone yearns for them, more people want to see them defeated and defeated by ordinary people.

Use this to satisfy your fantasy, thinking that you can do it one day.

The more I yearn for a family with five surnames, the more I want to be Chen Qingsi.

Lanling Xiao's promotion methods are no less than those of the major media in later generations. They use the best they can in this era to stabilize the decline with Chen Qingsi, "Shang Li Yong" and "Compassion for the Farmers".

The song "Compassion for the Farmers" may be said to be inspired by heaven, but coupled with the even more amazing "Shang Li Yong", it is enough to show that everything is not accidental.

Experts even compare it with Shangguan Yi and find that apart from its numerical advantage, Shangguan Yi doesn't have the slightest advantage.

It is true that Shangguan Yi is a pioneer of Tang poetry. He improved the palace style poetry, but he cannot escape the constraints of the times and still has a charming and charming atmosphere.However, "Shang Li Yong" and "Compassion for the Farmers" are works that reached the pinnacle of development and progress in the poetry world after the prosperous Tang Dynasty. In terms of the depth of singing and popularity, it is really difficult to compare them with the same.

Of course, Shangguan Yi was the Secretary and Young Supervisor and one of the confidants of Emperor Li Zhi. No one dared to say that Chen Qingsi was better than Shangguan Yi, but there was a vague tendency to compare the two.

Chen Qingsi has not yet arrived at Tongguan Village, and his deeds are everywhere.

So much so that along the way, in all the towns and counties he passed, people lined the streets to welcome him, feeling that they were the talents from the south of the Yangtze River that surpassed those from the north of the Yangtze River.

Chen Qingsi saw this along the way and knew that his status as the son-in-law of the Xiao family had brought him a lot of troubles, but at this point, the benefits of being the son-in-law of the Xiao family were also obvious.

It took two and a half days to go and a full five days to come back.

Within five days, Chen Qingsi still hadn't seen his wife's true appearance in Lushan.

What Chen Qingsi was worried about did not happen. Almost all the betrothal gifts were left in Yixing County, and he only took a few things with him to Tongguan Village.

The reason why the wedding is called a wedding means the ceremony at dusk.Marriage takes place at night, and we miss each other.

When we arrived at Tongguan Village, it was the scheduled dusk.

This last etiquette is not complicated either.

When the bride gets off the wedding car, her feet do not touch the ground. She has to step on the prepared blanket and felt mat to enter the house.When the road is long and the seats are short, someone will move the felt mats that have been stepped on behind to the front, so it is called "turning the seats" until it ends at Qinglu.

The so-called Qinglu was originally a green tent, also called Baizizhang. It was a tradition left over from the Northern Dynasties and was also a place for weddings. Later it was improved into a room decorated with green curtains, which is the wedding room.

Qinglu is on the left side of the yard. After the bride gets off the wedding car, she can reach it within a few steps.

Chen Qingsi took the bow and arrow that had been prepared and shot one arrow at the sky, the earth and the distance, praying to the sky.The worship of heaven and earth in the Tang Dynasty was not as direct and coherent as that of later generations, but was divided into three steps.

On the day of the wedding, the family worships the family temple, then the next day worships the high hall, and finally on the day of return, the bride pays homage to the high hall.

As for the couple's worship, there is indeed this link, called the hand-over ceremony, but it is not important in the entire wedding process.

The family temple of Lao Chen's family couldn't be simpler. It is the memorial tablet of his parents. It's simple.

The bride asked her maid to take her to the bridal chamber to wait for the next marriage.

As the groom, Chen Qingsi should entertain the guests.

Chen Qingsi does not have a wide range of friends and has almost no close friends.After all, most of the life trajectories are in the village. Folks in the countryside are like one family and cannot be regarded as friends.On the contrary, after traveling through time, I entered the county town and got to know a lot of people, but because we didn't get along for long, we didn't have deep friendships, so we couldn't be considered close friends.

But regardless of whether they are invited or not, these friends who have not been together for a long time almost all choose to attend the wedding...

Once you become famous, you will have many friends.

What Chen Qingsi regretted was that Pei Yan and Lou Shide did not appear at the wedding. The highest-ranking person at the banquet was Dai Hongling, the magistrate of Yixing County, and he was the first to toast.

Dai Hongling looked at the young man with a smile on his face and raised his glass to toast him. The county magistrate no longer had the alienation before, and was as radiant as before. He said with emotion: "Chen Zuoshi is so talented that it is rare in the world. I am afraid that only Cao Zijian in the past can It can be compared to this. It is a great honor for me to drink Chen Zuoshi’s wine.”

This attitude is not what a superior feels towards his subordinates.

When Dai Hongling said this, he felt agitated in his heart: he had single-handedly brought about this marriage, and he knew very well the attitude of the Xiao family.Unexpectedly, things would turn around, and a country boy would seem to be completely transformed, causing the Xiao family to go against their normal behavior and fully support their son-in-law.

With the support of the Xiao family, the other party's future achievements will definitely be higher than his own, so he can only lick his face, hoping to save the relationship.

Chen Qingsi did not bully others when she was in a position of power. There were some things that she should not forget, but if she cared too much about some things, she would be petty.

There is no need to have close friendship with people like Dai Hongling, but there is no need to offend them either. They might be useful one day.

"County Magistrate Dai is too polite. This junior is flattered. If it were not for the magistrate's recommendation, this happy event would not have happened. I am young and do not know how to advance or retreat. I am not as mature as Magistrate Dai who has been an official for many years. I still have many things to learn from the magistrate. I will not hesitate to do so in the future." Give me some advice.”

Dai Hongling's face glowed red and he said yes repeatedly.

Then there are Xiao Yan who is responsible for the affairs of Yixing County, the county chief Shi, the county captain, a group of people who are not closely connected and have some real power in their hands, and those who come uninvited, regardless of their status, will go up to chat. A few words and a drink.

Most of the wine in this era was rice wine. Chen Qingsi was strong and could drink cup after cup without feeling drunk.

After finishing all the social activities, Chen Qingsi walked to the wedding room.

The elder Xi Po had been waiting for a long time. She warmly welcomed him into the house, handed him the wedding scale that had been prepared, and read a congratulatory message.

Chen Qingsi looked at the bride in green sitting quietly in front of the bed. She had been looking forward to it for a long time. At this critical moment, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

　Brothers, if you have a ticket, please support it, thank you!
