Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 51 Marrying Xun Xueer
After the house was repaired, it took a few days to move the family members and some five things there, and then paved the personal room. After buying all the rice, wheat, oil, salt, chicken, duck and fish, Xu Qing's family began to provide for Xu Qing. ready for the wedding.

Although Xu Qing and Xun Xueer have been together for a long time, Xun Xueer is ancient after all, and it is always bad to have no etiquette. Xu Qing plans to make a big fuss and hold an event for her Big wedding.What's more, Xu Qing is the person with the highest status in Luonan!

In weddings, the word "li" reveals that there are many unusual rules of marriage.It's not like modern times, where a stamp is stamped, and relatives and friends are invited to have a drink and the job is over.In the Tang Dynasty, there were several steps in a wedding from accepting the color to undressing, going to sleep, and making a lighter bag, and it would take half a month at the fastest to complete.

Nacai, also called opening and cutting, means that the man's family notifies the woman's family of the wedding date before they get married, so it is also called "send the day".The man's family will send the colored cloth and clothes for the woman to the woman's family, and invite a blessed woman with both children to cut clothes for the girl, which is called "cutting".

This step is very simple. Uncle Xun moved to Xuzhuang, just deliver it to her home. Even if it was a gift, Xu Qing called four or fifty people to beat gongs and drums and walked from Hongshan Township to Xuzhuang in a lively manner.

Then there is name asking, that is, the man sends a matchmaker to the woman's home to ask the woman's name and date of birth.After getting back the Geng Tie, Bu Ji combined the horoscope.Xu Qing and Xun Xueer are in love with each other, and everyone knows that the person who counted the horoscope just did the calculations randomly, and then invited all the best words he knew, and asked for a lot of rewards.Then there is Najib. It is the etiquette for the man to ask the name and combine the horoscope, inform the woman of the auspicious omen of marriage, and give a gift to express his engagement. This is also called the ceremony of laying wild goose.

The first few are ancient rules, but in modern times, it is usually resolved by a phone call.After finishing those things that have a lot of symbolic meaning, they start to send gifts to each other, which is called Nazheng, or Nacoin, Nacheng.Then the two parties set the final date, send a wedding post to notify the neighbors, and then go through a procedure in the government, as long as there is no bloody escape from marriage, it is basically set.

But Xu Qing went too far, no matter if they were from Lin County in Luonan, anyone who could be counted as a landlord was invited, and anyone who had been an official within three generations, regardless of grade, was invited.There are no great people in Luonan, and the quality is not enough, so the quantity has to be increased.

In addition to some tenants of the Xu family in Xuzhuang and Hongshan Township, there are almost [-] people who will come to the feast. After Yang Wen calculated it, Xu Qing was shocked, so he changed the tenants to the feast to Door-to-door delivery, and each family will send some rice and meat snacks to express their affection.

More than ten days later, on the first day of August, the marriage ceremony officially began.Weddings in the Tang Dynasty were not like modern times, where the man drove a motorcade to pick them up, but on the contrary, the woman delivered them in person.For this reason, Xun Xueer rushed back to Xuzhuang on purpose, and then Xu Qing rented twelve luxury carriages with money. Some boxes and gifts were piled full, causing passers-by to stare intently.

A few people on the side of the road who wanted to see the joke and make trouble were dumbfounded.These people are Xun Xiaoer and his uncles. When they heard the news of Xun Xueer's marriage, they thought that they couldn't take this woman so cheaply.They didn't know who Xun Xue'er had married, and they thought that at most she would marry a small landlord as a concubine, so they came all the way here to make trouble and make trouble.

After inquiring about Hongshan Township, I ran into a wedding party on the road. That guy was full of gongs and drums, firecrackers, red flags, and crowds of people (the "firecrackers" were not removed for this classic sentence). The brothers were startled.

When I found out that Xun Xueer was married to the Duke, he was still the first wife!Greedy comes up, fear becomes less, once a few people discuss it, it will be impossible to make trouble, and there is a great possibility of getting mixed up!Turning worry into joy, he raised his heels and followed the welcoming team to Xu's house.

To say that the gongs and drums are noisy is just a description. The real popular instruments in the Tang Dynasty were pipa, reed, harp, horizontal flute, harp, xiao, and drums, but they were all waist drums.Except for waist drums, most of these are made of silk and bamboo, so it is appropriate to call it "Sizhu Xuantian", but the word "Xiantian" does not have a deep connection with silk and bamboo.

In short, it was very lively.

The tenants all received rice and meat at home, but were not present, and the rest of the clothes came to Xu Mansion with a lot of "share money" to congratulate. Xu Qing was very pleased that he received a lot of share money.But the happiest thing is to be able to have a wedding with Xun Xueer tonight, no longer dreaming, but going straight to the wrong.

After Xun Xueer arrived, she worshiped the heavens and the earth and respected her parents, but Xu Qing had some troubles. He didn't know who the parents of "Xu Chuliu" were. , Of course, it doesn't matter in terms of time, but the general feeling is not good.In the end, Xu Qing got Zhang Zhong's sign up, and it would be good to have reborn parents.

There is only one Sir, it is impossible for everyone to toast, most people still play, eat and drink in the garden by themselves.It was Xu's food that surprised everyone. It was not a big roasted and boiled dish like a whole chicken or a whole sheep, but a stir-fried dish that was served on a plate and no one knew how to make it.And the taste is special, the first time I ate it, I felt a little uncomfortable, but after the aftertaste, my index finger twitched, and many people gobbled it up, ignoring the "clothes" image.

In the attic, another scene:
There were more than a dozen small tables, and everyone ate separately. The arrangement was elegant and simple. Xu Qing sat on his knees in the hall and toasted to everyone frequently.The music was gentle and melodious, and the dancers danced gracefully, which attracted applause from everyone.Adding wine and food, you come and go, exhausted the servants of Xu's mansion, and they also got a few coins for this.

At nightfall, the crowd dispersed and were kept out of the door. The three brothers of the Liu family, who only received three catties of rice and one catty of pork, left helplessly.They were misunderstood by Xu's family as tenants who had fallen behind. Although they didn't let people in, they were well served with rice and meat. As for the brothers who said they were relatives or something later, they ignored it.If you have a good temper and good qualities, you should be deceived, Menzi thought: The master has already explained everything about relatives and friends, and there are no you!

In the middle of the night, it was the celebration of the Xu family's own family.Shangguanyi, Zhang Linye, Xun Yeyu, Xun Fang, Uncle Xun, Old Man Zheng, Liu San, Xiaoru, Xiaoyue, Niu Chocao, Wang Shan, Yang Wen, Guan Xuan and other close people.They used the tables and chairs made by Xu Qing, surrounded a big round table with Xu Qing, and congratulated again.

Looking at the people at this table, Xu Qing recalled that when he came to Tang Suiyue, everyone he almost knew and could be regarded as friends was here.In addition, Jian Yang and the others are not there, and Zhang Zhong is still in the mourning hall, so I don't know what happened.Thinking of Jian Yang and the others, the two-month "healing period" is coming soon, so it's time to leave for Chang'an, right?
