Ping An Biography

() Osmanthus fragrans once again wafted in the alleys and in people's yards, and Zhang Ning's wedding day also arrived as scheduled. There were no accidents or setbacks, and everything was arranged in advance.I chose the auspicious day of the zodiac. I thought it would be sunny, but it rained in the morning. It was really helpless, even the modern weather forecast was not necessarily completely accurate, let alone relying on the almanac at this time.

The entire etiquette process from Na Cai's name asking to Najib's appointment was handled by Yao Ji. I believe she did not miss anything in accordance with the etiquette.On the other hand, Zhang Ning took off his gray official uniform and put on the newcomer's clothes on the day he went to meet his relatives, and it was the first time he knew what he should wear that day.A red robe is a bit like the official uniform uploaded by the officialdom. Even the hat is black gauze. Se is very bright.

When Zhang Ning was putting on her clothes, she thought that Zhou Yiniang, who was in her "natal home", should also be dressing up at this time. The women's outfits are much more complicated, and I don't know how she is feeling at the moment.Zhang Ning felt that it might be more of helplessness, so she hurriedly met the people she met twice, and she also clearly expressed her reluctance; but in the face of the powerful power of the two elders and the royal family, she didn't need to resist any more. ..

It turns out that getting married is such a feeling, and Zhang Ning also feels very fresh and excited.It was indeed the first time for him, and the previous life ended before he met marriage; but if he hadn't been sick at that time, he should have experienced it sooner or later.Regardless of ancient or modern times, people other than monks and Taoists always try their best to get married, and this is not just because of their own wishes.

He thought of a good friend in his previous life who had made many preparations before getting married. He wrapped invitations, candies, and red envelopes with his own hands, and was busy booking a hotel, full of expectations... But Zhang Ning couldn't experience it. He was still dealing with business last night. Indifferent to marriage.

Yao Erlang was eager to be a "Yu", a role in the wedding, in fact, he played the role of the new son-in-law's attendant, and his main task was to drive the car; but in Zhang Ning's mind, he probably looked a bit like a modern best man.After the chariots and horses left the garden, a large group of people were playing and playing. The wedding at this time was not as serious as Zhou Li recorded, and it was probably decorated very fancy. However, entertainment activities such as asking for red envelopes along the way, various pranks and bridal chambers were not popular yet. .Everyone happily went to Zhou's house to welcome the bride in the light rain. In fact, they were in the same city, and they arrived at Zhou's house after a short walk.

The old man Zhou Mengxiong's face was flushed, but Mrs. Zhou Li took out a handkerchief and wiped away his tears with a look of reluctance.The bride, Zhou Niang, was covered with a red hijab just as she had imagined, she couldn’t see her face, she was wearing a diy skirt, a big shirt and Xiapei, a leather belt around her waist, and high-toed boots on her feet. She was accompanied by an elderly woman who was inseparable. An official next to Zhang Ning whispered that it was Mu, and it was roughly to teach the bride how to not be rude.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Zhang Ning bowed to meet his parents-in-law, and after a while he wanted to offer tea, and he did as the courtesy officer next to him asked him to do.He deliberately paid attention to Tuesday's mother, and found that she was moving slowly and carefully, but fortunately there was no sign of mischief.Zhang Ning bowed and bowed to many relatives from his natal family who did not know when they would come to Changde, and finally he was able to welcome his daughter-in-law into the sedan chair and take him away.He originally prepared a few good words, and wanted to say in front of his parents-in-law that he would have a good time with his wife, but in the end he realized that there was no chance at all, and all he said were etiquette words in front of everyone.

The way back is still full of fanfare.After returning home, there are still many links to perform some etiquette in the temporary ancestral hall, including husband and wife eating the meat of the same animal, drinking wine from the same ladle, meeting Yao Ji, offering sacrifices to the emperors of the Zhu family, and so on.From the many etiquettes, it implies the meaning of husband and wife sharing weal and woe and family covenant, etc., and declares the establishment and inheritance of a family in an upright and serious manner. Suddenly, it seems that life has a very mysterious meaning.

It’s no wonder that women at this time valued being married by a medium, and men and women were also together. Through this formal etiquette, it seemed to declare her status and identity, and she could be recognized and respected by the world.

After Zhang Ning's experience, he finally realized the importance of this "transition". Weddings in this era are much more serious than modern ones anyway. Just like the West swears an oath before the gods, the couple at this time must sacrifice and declare in front of their ancestors... After this time, of course, it will be difficult for future generations to get together and leave easily.

However, after tossing around like this for a whole day, Zhang Ning felt that it was more tiring than fighting a battle on the battlefield. After being exhausted, it was his turn to bridal chamber.The ancients said that when the title of the gold list is filled with flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, when life is blissful, it should not be wasted anyway.

Fortunately, it is not necessary to accompany the guests to get drunk, and the bride will not pour wine to accompany the wine like modern times. The mother of Tuesday has already gone to the new house, and no one has seen her face or heard her all day long. sound.

Zhang Ning walked into the Moon Cave Gate in the back garden, and finally let out a long hiss to take a breather.As soon as he walked under the eaves, he caught up with a person from behind. Looking back, he saw that Mei, Yao Ji's guardian, took a breath, took out a small bottle from her arms and handed it over, saying, "My lord, what is this?" It was the leader who asked me to send it, here it is for you."

"What is it?" Zhang Ning took it and flipped through it, then asked casually.What I saw was an exquisite small porcelain bottle, a little bigger than my thumb.He unplugged it again, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and suddenly there was a faint fragrance, as if mixed with the essence of flowers of the four seasons.

<Mei's expression, but she can't find anything.She shook her head and said, "The leader didn't say anything, and I haven't seen this thing before, so I'll keep it for you." She thought for a while and then said with a smile, "Let me go first, but I dare not disturb your lord's bridal chamber festivities. "<After Mei turned and left, Zhang Ning continued to walk towards the new house from under the eaves.The courtyard behind the garden has been newly decorated, and red happy characters are pasted on the lanterns, doors and windows. Every moment is filled with a new and joyful atmosphere, which is even better than New Year's Eve.After leaving the complicated etiquette and lively guests, it has become a good night for the couple after nightfall.

Zhang Ning's steps are very light, and he has been tossing around all day, he is not in a hurry.The active thoughts during the day still haven't subsided, and suddenly he remembered something, when the new couple visited their parents before, they could only worship Yao Ji, even if Jianwen's son was married, he didn't have the slightest intention of coming in person.

Is Mr. Jianwen afraid of something, afraid that I will put him under house arrest?Perhaps this kind of thinking is just Zhang Ning's "considering the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain", but the reason is still unclear.

He shook his head, unwilling to think about those troublesome things at this moment.

There were two servant girls standing at the door of the room. When they saw Zhang Ning coming, they smiled and saluted, and pushed open the wooden door for him. There were also servant girls busy preparing flowers, candles, drinks and drinks.Zhang Ning directly ordered: "You all go down and rest." Several people retreated knowingly.

He opened the bead curtain of the warm pavilion, and saw some fruits, snacks, jugs, wine glasses and tea on the table inside, and flowers were tied with red silk on the head of the bed.Several large red candles filled the room with red, yellow and warm light, like jewels, wealth and auspiciousness, all of which are things that the world likes.

Tuesday Niang was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, her head was still covered, as if she was waiting for someone to lift it off for her.A thought flashed across Zhang Ning for a moment, she wouldn't resist?Probably due to the influence of previous life information, I have the impression that there can be many stories in the new house, and it is not surprising that there is any resistance, and there are gossip jokes about holding murder weapons.He thought wildly for a while, thinking that if the general's daughter really wanted to do that, I would probably suffer if I don't know martial arts... Of course, this is impossible, people stand in the world, how can they easily do stupid things that depend on their living environment.

Zhang Ning looked at the very strange little lady sitting by the bed, picked up the flagon and poured a glass of wine, and drank a glass himself.

At this time, he has gradually relaxed, a kind of relaxation from the bottom of his heart, as if he has completed a responsibility.Starting a family may have been a forced responsibility.Although this Tuesday Niang had no love for her before, and she couldn't even catch up with the Miao girl Bai Fengjiao's friendship; It is indeed a good thing, but a wish has been fulfilled.

After a while, Zhang Ning put down his wine glass, walked up to Tuesday's mother, and lifted her hijab with his hand.What was in front of her was not a shy, blushing and happy bride, but Tuesday Niang looked very calm. After she could finally breathe, she raised her head as Zhang Ning looked at her, looking at Zhang Ning, her eyes sparkling under the candlelight.

Zhang Ning said gently: "Just like people can't choose reincarnation, sometimes women can't choose which ancestral grave to be buried in after death, but you will belong there."

After hearing this, Mother on Tuesday pursed her lips, but still said nothing.

Zhang Ning smiled, pointed at the things on the table and said, "According to the rules, we're going to have a cup of wine now."

"Didn't you drink it? You still want to drink in the room?" Zhou Yiniang finally spoke, her voice was very nice, with the clarity of a girl.

While pouring two glasses of wine, Zhang Ning said solemnly: "Didn't Mu teach you before? The two times were different." He mentioned that the previous "handover" was a simple exchange of glasses in the ancestral hall, which was more symbolic That's all.

"I'll teach you." Zhang Ning handed over a cup, and Mother on Tuesday took it obediently.He asked her to take her arms again, and on Tuesday Niang finally understood how to exchange glasses, Dang even said softly: "There are no such rules, you are lying. I will not follow your foolishness."
