Soldiers come to the world

According to Zhou etiquette, the new "wife" is welcomed from the woman's home and returned to the man's home to get married. This is called marrying a wife, also called marrying a daughter. Jiang Dong became the door-to-door son-in-law.

However, it seems unrealistic to welcome the bride to Jingzhou and get married again, so according to the wedding details agreed by both parties, the two parties finally finalized that the wedding ceremony will be held on a boat in Jingzhou.

The wedding boat was not Liu Jing's boat, but a specially prepared five-thousand-stone boat. This boat can accommodate 500 people to eat at the same time. Jingzhou has made simple arrangements in advance and cleaned them up. net.

The big ship was moored quietly at the Jingkou Wharf. Jiangdong equipped it with a wide and strong boarding ladder to facilitate the guests to board the ship. Although the wedding occasion was prepared by Jingzhou, the specific wedding scene layout and various ingredients, tableware and Cooking, maids, etc. are all done by Jiang Dong.

Early in the morning, more than 100 ox carts transported various supplies and ingredients to the pier. Nearly a hundred maids and eunuchs were busy arranging the wedding scene in the cabin. A huge "囍" character is hung on the wall of the ship directly in front, eight pairs of red candles shine on both sides, and a place for new couples to get married and worship is also specially set up.

The second and third floors are where banquets are held. Five hundred small tables have been set up, and all kinds of high-quality tableware are placed neatly one by one. The bottom deck is the warehouse and kitchen. The cook who came started preparing it two days ago.

All the ostentations and ceremonies are carried out according to the standard of marrying a regular wife. If strictly according to the customs and etiquette, Sun Shangxiang is only a subordinate wife, and the ceremony standards for a secondary wife must be lower than that of a regular wife. This is also a kind of respect for the regular wife.

If it is a concubine, there is no ceremony, and the main wife directly decides whether to accept it or not, and then enters the house. This is what was said in the pre-Qin period. How to enter the door, of course, whether to marry or escape, has been decided in advance.

But the etiquette system often has to obey the reality, especially in the late Han Dynasty, when a group of heroes rose together, the etiquette collapsed. As long as the man is strong, he can completely surpass the etiquette. [

For example, Dong Zhuo heard that Huangfugui's widow was young and beautiful, and wanted to take her as a concubine. If according to the pre-Qin ritual, he could take the woman into the mansion in an ox cart at night, which is called Ben.

However, in order to please Huangfu Gui's widow, Dong Zhuo used hundreds of chariots, twenty horses, and several slaves to fill the road.

It is also because the etiquette system is subject to reality, so Jiangdong's marriage to the princess is completely carried out according to the standard of a regular wife. This is also for Jiangdong's dignity. Important, if the main wife does not agree and forcibly oversteps, it will plant conflicts in the future family life.

Of course, Sun Shangxiang is still inferior to Tao Zhan in one point, that is, the dowry. The Tao family is as rich as a country, and the dowry for Tao Zhan is 20 shi of grain, thousands of war horses, and [-] pieces of silk and silk. In addition, there are countless jewels and gold.

And Sun Shangxiang's dowry is only [-] bolts of silk, [-] catties of gold, ten boxes of all kinds of jewelry and dresses given to her by her mother, and more than [-] pieces of various weapons collected by Sun Shangxiang herself. Tao Zhan was better.

Little did they know that the Tao family was originally a well-known family in Jingzhou, and they became famous all over the world in the end, thanks to the amazing dowry when they married their daughters. Those who have good deeds have counted, that time the Tao family married a daughter, and took out nearly [-]% of their family property as a dowry. But everyone knew in their hearts that the Tao family's property was not so much a dowry as a subsidy for Liu Jing's army.

As night fell, one carriage after another drove out of the city and slowly parked on the pier. These were the guests who came to attend the wedding. The neatly dressed officials and their beautifully dressed wives and daughters got out of the carriage one after another and walked along the ship ladder to Go to the big boat.

In addition to the high-ranking officials from Jiangdong, more than 100 Jingzhou military officers also attended the wedding as the male guests. They were uniformly dressed in soft military uniforms, crimson clothes and crowns, which looked quite mighty.

At this time, the sound of drums and music came from afar, and a large and gorgeous carriage was escorted by more than a hundred cavalrymen holding banners. The knight in green clothes was the bridegroom Liu Jing, and he followed closely beside the carriage.

The carriage stopped slowly in front of the boat ladder, and beside the boat ladder, nearly a hundred maids immediately raised the brocade. This is the custom in Jiangdong. The main purpose is to cover the bride and prevent some disciples from teasing and molesting. It has gradually become a custom, as the so-called in small families, it is enough to cover the face with two fans.

The barrier brocade was raised with bamboo poles, one foot high, forming a long passageway from the carriage door to the waiting room, and even the groom was evacuated outside. In addition, cloth blankets were spread on the ground so that the bride’s feet could not touch the ground. .

At this time, the door of the car opened, and four maids helped the bride get down slowly from the carriage. Sun Shangxiang was dressed in a bright red dress, her head was covered with emerald jewels, she lowered her head, holding a cluster fan to cover her face .

Two maids carried lanterns in front to lead the way, and two maids followed behind. Da Qiao supported the bride, and Sun Shangxiang walked slenderly along the brocade passage and cloth blanket to the boat. Before and after her, more than a dozen A maid was busy spreading the blanket for her.

"Little sister, marriage is a major event in a woman's life. Once you get on this boat, you will be considered as a member of the Liu family. Although there is an elder sister in the family, luckily you have no in-laws. As long as you treat the elder sister with courtesy and trust You will get along well."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry! I know how to get along with her." Sun Shangxiang whispered, her eyes were a little red, and she cried a lot before going out. [

Da Qiao smiled wryly in her heart, she was actually most worried about this sister-in-law's strong temperament, she didn't know how to be submissive, if her temper didn't change, she would suffer in the future, she could only hope that her husband would be broad-minded and use a A large heart loved her.

Thinking of this, Da Qiao smiled in her ear again: "Try to conceive a baby tonight, and your life will be more fun."

Sun Shangxiang's ears turned red suddenly, and he shyly punched her on the shoulder, "Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense, they heard you."

In the lobby on the first floor of Louchuan, the lights were brightly lit. Dozens of guests were divided into two sides. They whispered and waited for the marriage to begin. But there is only Mrs. Wu alone.

At this time, the steward in charge said to Lu Fan in a low voice: "Mr. Lu, we are here soon!"

Lu Fan chuckled and shouted loudly: "Auspicious time, the bride and groom enter the arena!"

The hall suddenly became lively. On the left was a boy leading the bridegroom Liu Jing out with green silk, and on the right was a girl leading the bride Sun Shangxiang out with red silk. On both sides of the bride, there was a maid holding a fan to greet him. The face of the bride is covered.

A bridesmaid swiftly combined the red and green pieces of silk brocade into a single concentricity, and the two slowly approached each other holding the concentricity, and stood side by side. Lu Fan shouted again: "Pray!"

The two worshiped the heaven and the earth, and then the high hall, and the husband and wife bowed to each other. After the ceremony, according to the Jingzhou wedding, this is considered a formal marriage, but according to Jiangdong's customs, there is still one step left, and Lu Fan shouted again: "Present the wedding ring!"

The two maids brought out a squatting animal double couplet phoenix cup carved from jade. The cup is a jade gourd, which is cut into two parts. One side is carved with a phoenix and the other side is carved with a phoenix. The cups were separated to become two jade gourds, and the maid slowly filled the gourds with wine.

Mrs. Wu said to the two with a smile: "Drink and join together. From then on, the husband and wife will share joys and sorrows together. Drink it!"

The two slowly picked up the jade ladle, stared at each other deeply, drank the wine in one gulp, the whole hall immediately cheered, the drums and music blared, and the ribbons were thrown at the newlyweds one by one, marking the wedding ceremony to **

After the wedding, there was a banquet, and all the guests went to the second and third floors to drink, but the newlyweds wanted to go to the bridal chamber. The bridal chamber was not on this boat, but Liu Jing's boat.

At this moment, it is quietly moored beside the wedding boat. A passage has been set up between the two boats. It is a closed passage made of wooden boards, and it has been decorated with brocade at this time, just like a bridge with a colorful canopy.

Perhaps because of the shyness and nervousness of the newlyweds, the two slowly walked through the aisle surrounded by more than a dozen maids and maids. Sun Shangxiang kept his head down. They didn't say a word or look at each other, just like a pair of strangers Walking on the deck, meeting by chance, but there is a tacit understanding.

"Go back!"

After going up to the second floor, Liu Jing ordered the maids who followed behind to retreat. He had already realized that to break the silence, the maids had to leave.

The maids were all Sun Shangxiang's dowry maids, they were stunned for a while, and then slowly retreated, staying on the first floor of the big boat.

The second floor was very quiet, there was no one there, only the two of them were walking slowly. They had already reached the door of the bridal chamber, but Sun Shangxiang hesitated a little. Liu Jing glanced at her and gently held her hand.

Sun Shangxiang's body trembled slightly, she instinctively wanted to pull out her hand, but the strength disappeared at the moment of pulling out, she turned her head away, her heart was pounding with nervousness, she didn't dare to look at Liu Jing.

Liu Jing turned her body around, faced him, and whispered with a smile: "You still toasted me two days ago, why are you afraid now?"

"Who's scared?" Sun Shangxiang lowered his head and whispered.

Liu Jing rested her chin with her finger, lifted her face slowly, and asked with a smile, "Do you also want to send me three arrows?"

Sun Shangxiang bit her lip lightly, and said angrily, "If you want it, I'll give it to you!"

"I only received ten arrows two days ago, and I don't want any more." Liu Jing said with a smile.

"Are you OK!"

Only then did Sun Shangxiang think of the assassination of Liu Jing. She had been worried for a day, but when she said it, she felt that she cared too much about this guy, so she immediately changed her words and said, "It's best to shoot an arrow through your heart, I don't have so many Annoyed."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Jing suddenly lowered her head, sealed her bright red lips with fiery lips, and hugged her tightly.

Sun Shangxiang had never been kissed by anyone, she was very ashamed and annoyed, and wanted to struggle to get away, but Liu Jing hugged her so tightly that she couldn't move, gradually, Sun Shangxiang's body softened, and she was "lost" in Liu Jing's embrace. In the strong masculine breath.
