Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 184 and the wedding ceremony

Jiji Ceremony is generally held on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar every year, which is the Shangsi Festival.

So later, Shangsi Festival was also known as Girl's Day.

Beautifully made hairpins, hairpins, and phoenix crowns are placed on plates covered with embroidered handkerchiefs.

In the temporary family temple set up by the Cheng family, Mrs. Pei personally untied Yang Xiaoran's bun, and let down her beautiful hair. This also means that from this moment on, she is no longer a child, but an adult.

A group of people gathered around the room, Jiji was also a big event in ancient times, although it was not as grand as crowning a man, considering Yang Xiaoran's status, her Jiji ceremony meant a big wedding, so there were many nobles present.

Even the eldest grandson is the guest of honor, why don't the others rush over?
Most of the male guests are in the main hall in front, and those who stay here are the close elders, such as Cheng Yaojin, several elder brothers, as well as the old ladies of the Cheng family and cheap uncles.

A Jiji ceremony also has its own duties, such as the host, the guest of honor, the praiser, the praiser, the dismisser, and the deacon.All served by female elders.

Mrs. Pei brushed Yang Xiaoran's hair with a wooden comb dipped in sweet-scented osmanthus hair oil, and the master of ceremonies next to her shouted loudly: "The auspicious time is here! Go pick clothes and add a hairpin!"

Picking clothes are children's clothes, which are also worn before the minors, and they are basically short jackets.

Yang Xiaoran stood up, and the maids stepped forward, took off Yang Xiaoran's outer clothes, asked her to sit down, and took off the cloth shoes on her feet.

This is required for the ceremony, so before adding the hairpin, today's Yang Xiaoran must strictly follow the regulations in the Book of Rites to wear a short jacket and cloth shoes.

Mrs. Pei brought a ropa and a skirt that looked like a tunic, the hem of the skirt had no decorations, and the belt could only be worn by ordinary fine cloth belts for Yang Xiaoran.

Then Yang Xiaoran sat down again, her loose hair was gathered up, half of it was combed into a bun, and an ivory hairpin was inserted on Yang Xiaoran's head by Mrs. Pei.

At this point, the initial addition of the first addition is only half completed.

Yang Xiaoran also had to go to the temporary "East Room" on the side to perform dances to the guests and thank the elders.

When this is over, go back to the family temple again and continue with the second addition.

"Two plus hairpin!"

The voice of the master of ceremonies sounded again.

Immediately a servant girl came forward, untied the middle garment just now, and put on a deep quilted garment. Mrs. Pei carved it out of a handful of light blue jade with three blooming peonies engraved on it. The jade comb with twigs and flowers and leaves stepped forward and inserted it to the side of the bun.

After finishing all this, repeat the first addition process again, and go to the east house for the second prayer.

After returning, the master of ceremonies' voice sounded again.

"Please add a phoenix crown to the empress!"

Yang Xiaoran got up again, and the servants changed the clothes they added just now, this time they had to change into a formal dress with long sleeves.A group of servant girls arranged the upper and lower standard clothes and ribbons in order, with the collars facing east, and placed them on the mat from north to south.

The costumes of the three Jiaji have different meanings, symbolizing the process of a girl's growth.

The color of the clothes is pure and beautiful, which symbolizes the innocence of girls.

The light-colored and elegant skirt symbolizes the innocence of a cardamom girl.

The dignified deep clothes (especially the ones with curved trains) are recognized as the clothes that can best reflect the beauty of women of the Han nationality, symbolizing the beauty of girls in the blooming season.

The last grand dress with large sleeves reflects the aesthetic orientation of Han women - graceful, elegant and graceful.

Because the marriage between Yang Xiaoran and Li Chengqian had already been fixed, this ceremony of marriage was unprecedentedly grand, and the grace even surpassed that of an ordinary princess.

As for the phoenix crown on the head, it is made of luxurious materials and complicated workmanship. There are petal-shaped temples on the temples. After wearing it, white tooth combs and hairpins are inserted on the crown.

Such a luxurious phoenix crown, let alone a princess, ordinary princesses do not have such a gorgeous phoenix crown.It is comparable to the eldest grandson.

Princess!Once she reaches Jiji, she will get married, and the future mother of the country will naturally be treated very well!
The music sounded, and the eldest grandson looked relieved, as if watching his daughter grow up, Qianqian carefully picked up the beautifully crafted phoenix crown and put it on Yang Xiaoran's head.

Then I personally picked up the wooden comb and combed the other half of the hair that was hanging down.

Yang Xiaoran only felt dizzy, the phoenix crown on his head was gorgeous but it was too heavy, and the pressure made his neck uncomfortable.

Yang Xiaoran couldn't understand these ancient people, wouldn't they be afraid of cervical spondylosis if they put so many things on their heads?

Fortunately, she doesn't have to bear this thing every day, or she will die of exhaustion.

It was Cui Yujiao who put a three-foot-high white-horned crown on her head, which looked like a tall hat, which was very strange.People will be scared to death when they come out at night.

"Please thank the county magistrate!"

Yang Xiaoran got up, and with the support of Baozhu and others, he took out the embroidered handkerchief and shook it three times, first kowtowed to the eldest grandson, and then bowed to Pei Shi and Cheng Yaojin for his parents' kindness.

To put it bluntly, it is actually kowtow.

The eldest grandson is the empress, and it is an extremely high honor to be able to crown her personally.

The king, the king, the minister, and the king, naturally have to thank the royal family first, and then it will be their parents' turn when they come down.

Then she went to the east room again, bowed to the guests for the third time, showed her fine clothes, and then bowed three times and bowed nine times in the direction of the palace to show that she was loyal to the emperor and lived up to the emperor's grace.

At this time, Yousi removed the display of Jili and set up a banquet of wine and wine on the west steps.The guests of honor bowed to invite Yang Xiaoran to the table.

Yang Xiaoran stood on the west side of the banquet, facing south, the guests of honor faced west, the praisers offered wine, Yang Xiaoran turned to the north, the guests of honor took the wine, walked to the front of the banquet, facing Yang Xiaoran, and said in his mouth: "Sweetness is only thick , Jia recommended Lingfang. Worship and accept sacrifices to determine Erxiang. The rest of the heavens will not be forgotten in the test of life."

This is the admonition, simply put, don't forget the emperor, ancestors and parents.

Yang Xiaoran saluted, took the wine, knelt down and sprinkled some wine on the ground as sacrificial wine, this is worshiping the ancestors.

Then he held the wine to symbolically touch his lips, and then put the wine on the table, and someone served rice, Yang Xiaoran took it, ate a little bit symbolically, and bowed again, the honorable guest answered.Then he got up and left the seat, stood on the east side of the west steps, facing south, and waited for the word ji.

That is to take the table word.Women of noble status always have small characters, and this link is not necessary for ordinary people.

At this moment, Kong Yingda sat at the head, and said to Yang Xiaoran: "Your master has already chosen the characters for you, and today you and Ji Li will no longer have the word Ji. Today, the etiquette is ready, and the auspicious day of the month will be announced. The word Er. The word Kongjia is the name of the fashionista. It is suitable for fakes, and it will be protected forever..."

Yang Xiaoran replied respectfully: "Although the fragrance of the medicine is not sensitive, I dare not only serve it day and night."

Kong Yingda nodded in satisfaction.Although this woman has only been in the Hongwen Museum for a few days, she can be regarded as her husband, so it makes sense for him to participate in this session.

The next step is to invite Pei Shi and Cheng Yaojin again, and Yang Xiaoran kneels in front of the two elders to listen to their parents' admonition.

Jiji ceremony is a symbol of adulthood.Although the identity of an ancient woman is humble, growing up also means responsibility.

It's no wonder that even a small and poor family would attach so much importance to this coming-of-age ceremony.

Get up early, go through a series of processes, and finally wait until the master of ceremonies announces the completion of the ceremony, and the ceremony is considered to be over.

Yang Xiaoran returned to her own room, becoming an adult also meant that she had to start avoiding suspicion, and could no longer walk around at will like before.

I don't know what happened to Li Chengqian.

Since last summer, there have been fewer letters. They only said that he fell off his horse and sprained his foot. He went to see him during the Chinese New Year, but he did not see him under the excuse that it was not appropriate to see him before the wedding.

Today's own Jiji ceremony also only sent someone to deliver things, and did not participate.Ask the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson is also a little vague, Pei Shi and Cheng Yaojin also said that His Royal Highness needs to rest.

Did you break your foot?Serious?
Then what are you doing without telling yourself?

Lying softly on the bed, after a busy day, she was really exhausted.

I really want to sleep for a while, but when I think about it, I will be getting married after the ceremony today, so I don't feel sleepy at all.

It's really weird to be married to a kid and still be my best friend.

Fortunately, the prince's big wedding is not a trivial matter, and it takes a long time to prepare for the appointment. It is estimated that it will take more than a year until that day, and I can continue to be chic.

Baolin's face appeared in front of his eyes again, although it had been a long time, but thinking about it now, there is still a slight pain in his heart.

Not long after Baolin got married, he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the border, leaving his newlyweds alone in the boudoir.

Every time Yang Xiaoran thinks of this, although he is also a little happy, but when he looks back, he will feel that he is a little too selfish.

At this point, what else do you expect?
He is already someone else's husband, and if he goes to the border, what does he have to do with him?What else is there to be happy about?
Shouldn't I expect him to live a good life with his wife?
It's just that when this idea popped up in my mind, I felt awkward no matter how I thought about it.

How could he imagine that he fell in love with someone else if his heart was once moved?

Her head felt a little aching, and whenever she thought of Baolin, her mood was always difficult to calm down.

"Big girl..."

Qiaoer came in with a bowl of glutinous rice balls, "Miss, are you hungry? Madame asked me to bring some snacks."

Yang Xiaoran sat up and looked at Qiaoer.

A few years have passed, and Qiaoer has also become a big girl. The ingenious hairstyle change covers the birthmark on her face, which makes her look even more beautiful.

Is it time to get married?Well, let's keep her for another year, and use this time to choose a good family for her, so that the friendship between master and servant is not in vain.

Seeing the eldest girl staring at her fixedly, Qiaoer felt a little nervous, "Eldest girl, what's wrong with you?"

After a pause, he continued: "Lieutenant Wang came here just now and sent another letter from His Highness."

"Oh?"

Yang Xiaoran was a little surprised, and couldn't figure out what was going on with Li Chengqian.

I gave a gift just now, and people couldn't come here, but now I let the snot send a letter to myself, what's the matter?

By the way, the two senior brothers are now serving as bodyguards in the East Palace, and Li Shimin even personally named them, which is considered a great favor.

Snot is now called Wang Xuan, Zi Peiyu, and Han Niu is called Wang Bao, whose name is Guozhen. Judging from the words and names, these two idiots are obviously quite popular with Li Er.

Two years ago, Nai Ni pointed out a girl from a good family. Although the other party was only a sixth-rank official, it was considered a high rise for a person like Nai Ni who had no father or mother.

And this year, Hanniu also got married, and it was still given by Li Shimin. She is a daughter of a military officer, with a hot temper. I heard that Hanniu is very fond of Hanniu. Not long after they got married, she became pregnant...
