Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 196 Big Wedding ([-])

In the golden autumn and October, the autumn wind is refreshing and the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant.

The eight main roads in Chang'an City started construction at the beginning of this year, and all of them were converted into concrete roads.The roads in the city are already paved with blue bricks, which saves a lot of effort. There is no need to make rammed earth layers, and they can be directly poured with cement.

The drainage system of the entire city has also been reasonably arranged. Leimen, Eugene and other foreign scholars are working hard to bring Western technology into China.Rome's incomparable city-building means were moved to Chang'an.

Sectional construction, after more than half a year of construction, the drainage system of many road sections has been completed.And there was a wave of bathing halls in Chang'an City.The design and automatic water delivery system of Rome's public baths amazed future generations.

And Yang Xiaoran even put forward suggestions on some details, using the principle of conservation of momentum, an artificial fountain was built near Qujiang Pond to attract more people to join in the research of natural science.

From the concrete road, to the bathhouse with a pressurized automatic water supply system, to this artificial fountain, everything has aroused the strong curiosity of the people.And these strange things are also quietly affecting the lives of Tang people.

It has been six years since Yang Xiaoran entered Beijing to the autumn of the eighth year of Zhenguan.

Just in these six years, it is amazing to count them in detail.

This woman who is known as the smartest woman in the world has done many things unconsciously.

The high-yield wheat and high-yield rice produced in Xiaoqingzhuang have begun to be sold to the outside world.The potatoes and sweet potatoes that were presented earlier are also gradually being popularized, and the apples produced in Xiaoqingzhuang have been well received by the world once they came out.

In addition, all kinds of strange things produced by Duobao Pavilion are changing the lives of the peasants in a gentle and silent way.

All kinds of well-made agricultural tools were sold to the imperial court at low prices, and then leased to farmers by the imperial court for a small amount of interest. The change of tools brought about strong productivity.Columbine carts, animal-powered harvesters, and planters greatly saved the physical strength of farmers, and their enthusiasm for developing wasteland was unprecedentedly high.

Three sets of crop rotation methods, three-dimensional breeding, rice field fish farming, wheat bean rotation and other advanced agricultural technologies were promoted by the imperial court, which brought benefits to tens of millions of farmers. Finally, another peak was ushered in.

And behind him, there is always the shadow of that little girl. The world gradually forgets her outstanding talent, her poems and songs, and all she can remember is the various blessings she brought to the world.

Now, this woman has grown up and is going to get married.

People with certain conditions around Chang'an came to Beijing to watch, with a kind of blessing mentality, they really wanted to watch this woman who had made great contributions to the Great Tang Empire successfully marry into the royal family.

The Royal Daily reported overwhelmingly the news that the Chongyang county head had married into the Tian family.From the dowry gift from the heavenly family, to the woman's dowry and all kinds of anecdotes between the crown prince and the county lord.For a time, people all over the country focused their attention on the capital.

Although the transmission of news was slow at this time, due to the increasing improvement of the postal system and the increasingly famous name of the Royal Daily, the urgent need made the popularity of the news faster and faster.

Now that the method of making cement has been taken by Li Er, he is working hard to get people to make it, and he is going to repair all the main official roads in the country, so as to facilitate the escort at postal stations.

And these roads will also charge an appropriate part of tolls for later maintenance.Of course, in order to prevent this decree from becoming an evil government, the charging period is only ten years.In the future, it will be subsidized from the financial state, which is equivalent to charging a price and opening it to the public for free.

For a time, the whole country was talking about this grand wedding.

Neither identity is simple.

One is the crown prince, and the other is a talented woman who is famous all over the world. In the overwhelming reports, the people are unknowingly influenced. Seeing the combination of the two, one can always find some comfort and happiness.

It seems that this woman who has brought them all kinds of benefits should marry the prince.

On the seventh day of October, the entire Chang'an Inn was full, and the whole city was packed with people.There was a clever and flexible person who rented out the empty room in his house with a sudden idea. For a while, the whole Chang'an was overcrowded.

Coupled with envoys from various countries and representatives of various forces, Chang'an seemed to have become a crowded place in an instant.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaoran gave Li Shimin a bunch of things before, and these things were also mentioned in it, so Li Shimin can handle it with ease now.

The embargo was dispatched, and the generals of all walks of life treated it seriously, and recruited temporary cleaners from the people to keep the streets tidy.

The trees on the main roads of Chang’an City were all tied with colored silk, every household was pasted with red and green, and pots of flowers were placed on both sides of the road from the East Palace to Shengyefang’s Lu Guogong’s mansion. .

It can also be seen from it that the royal family attaches great importance to this wedding, and the county lord's grace is extraordinary.

The royal family is extremely busy, and Yang Xiaoran is having a hard time these days.

The six rites stipulated in "Book of Rites · Hunyi" are indispensable.

Although the horoscope has been combined early, this process still has to go through the scene again when the wedding is approaching.

After finally finishing the first five hurdles, on the wedding day, I suddenly realized that the first five hurdles were really easy, and the really tiring one was the wedding day.

From sitting in the morning to evening, she hardly ate anything.

In order to prevent a sudden stomachache on the road, the bride can't eat since she woke up in the morning.

Weddings in the Tang Dynasty followed the old customs, and the welcoming team did not come until the evening.

When the society was relatively primitive, the marriage grabbing system was popular.At that time, when marrying a wife, it was always a man who brought a group of brothers to the door to rob. Naturally, it was a robbery, and of course it had to be done at night.

Therefore, in the record of the wedding ceremony in the Book of Rites, the word "twilight" is used instead of "marriage" next to the word "nv".

It has been passed down from generation to generation, and the old custom was still used in the Tang Dynasty, and the procession to greet the relatives would not come until Wujin Xizhuo.

This is a pain for Yang Xiaoran. When he woke up early in the morning, he saw Mrs. Pei and the others sitting and eating breakfast calmly, while he had only one piece of rice cake for his stomach, and then he couldn't eat anymore. He was hungry for a whole day , Is this what people can do?
Pei and the others finished their breakfast leisurely, Cheng Yaojin and his brothers dragged a big box, opened it, okay!

It's all sticks and knives!
A group of aunts, aunts, cousins ​​and cousins ​​stepped forward leisurely, and each of them chose a guy who was in his hand. How could this battle be to welcome the groom?Obviously to kill it.

Right!

Since we came to snatch the marriage at night, why are we not allowed to resist?
Women in the Tang Dynasty, on the day of their wedding, can love as much as possible and make things difficult for the man. This is the only chance in this life, so they toss hard to death, and all kinds of tricks emerge in endlessly, so that a modern person can see , that is definitely a bewildered expression.

After distributing the sticks, another maid began to boil water, and the big bathtub was placed in Yang Xiaoran's bedroom.In the past, flowers were used instead, but now there are essential oils, which are replaced by essential oils. Drip rose essential oil into the water, then pour goat's milk, peel Yang Xiaoran naked and press it inside.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, when Yang Xiaoran finished taking a bath, several maidservants came up in turn, holding clean silk cloths one after another, and wiped her hair over and over again, and did not forget to fetch a small stove to dry her hair when she was done.

After finally tossing and tossing, I brought another blue gown embroidered with gorgeous patterns of various colors. This is the wedding dress.

In the Tang Dynasty, women in the Tang Dynasty wore red for men and green for women when they got married. This is where the term "male red and female green" comes from.

The long-sleeved dress is a very complicated dress.

It takes half a day to put on the dark blue long sleeves, plain yarn one-piece underwear, knee covering (red hijab) around the abdomen, large and small belts, socks, and complicated embroidered shoes.

The hair is also combed extremely complicated, with a pair of sideburns covering the ears, ruby ​​earrings wrapped with gold and silver thread hanging on the ears, various wigs and real hair are coiled, filled with all kinds of step shakers and hairpins , and finally put on the Fengguan Xiapei, and when they finished tossing, Yang Xiaoran felt that she could hardly lift her head, and could not walk properly.

The dress is studded with all kinds of precious stones, even the embroidered shoes. The entire pair of shoes, the upper and the sides, are made of various beads and embroidered with gold and silver thread. Not only is the head heavy, but the feet are heavy Not light either.

Adding on this dress which weighed more than ten catties, when she wanted to stand up again, she had to be supported by someone.

So it was a tragedy for her, she could only sit on the marriage bed and dare not move, for fear that if she moved, something would drop and she would suffer another crime.

The face is also painted with thick makeup, a big white face, exaggerated blush, lips are painted into a small peach mouth, all the sides are painted white, and two black dots are used near the dimples. Paste flowers on the middle, looking like a ghost from hell.

But a group of aunts and sisters praised her again and again, and Yang Xiaoran couldn't help but feel speechless at the Tang Dynasty people's aesthetics.

I thought that the many cosmetics I made would improve the makeup aesthetics of these Tang people a little bit!It seemed that it was indeed effective, but when it came to such a big event, they still stubbornly followed the rules left by their ancestors to turn Yang Xiaoran into a female ghost.

I hope Li Chengqian won't scare himself to death...

I have no strength to toss and turn, and I am very hungry, but there are people guarding me all day.Wearing such "precious" clothes, if you want to have a little rest, there must be someone to wait on you, right?
It's no wonder that the bride wants to toss the groom's officials so hard!Because before this, I was tossed hard!How can a person do a job here?This is clearly suffering!

Sitting with back pain, dizziness, Li Chengqian on the other side is also suffering.

Wearing heavy gifts, he first followed his father to worship the heavens, and then worshiped the ancestors in the Taimiao. After kowtowing to the ancestors, Li Shimin supported Li Yuan and stood beside the memorial tablet. Jongmyo!"

Li Chengqian, who was wearing a heavy dress and a crown of heaven, fell to his knees and kowtowed, and said, "We dare not resign!"

The beads on the Tongtian crown blocked most of Li Chengqian's expression, but from his voice, he knew that he was in a very good mood today.

Originally, the Tongtian crown was the crown of the emperor, but in the Tang Dynasty, men could wear crowns and dresses on the day of marriage.

Since the prince is the crown prince and an example, he can naturally want to leapfrog on this day, enjoy the treatment of the emperor in advance, and set an example for the people.

A famous horse from Dawan was brought in, and Li Chengqian immediately got on the horse. Looking at his nimble hands and feet, Li Er smiled slightly.

The prince's feet are healed, now it's time to prove to the world through this wedding...
