Reincarnation Guest of All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms

Chapter 6 Marriage
Marriage is a major event in life, and there are strict regulations in the "Book of Rites", starting with the "six rituals" (one accepting, two asking names, three accepting auspiciousness, four accepting signs, five asking for a period, and six welcoming relatives).

The first step of these six rituals is "adoption", that is, the man's family invites a matchmaker to the woman's house to propose marriage.If the woman's family agrees to discuss marriage, the man's family will formally propose to the woman's family. When formally proposing, they must bring live geese as a gift to make people accept their choice. It is said in "Rituals·Shi Hun Li": "When the Hun Li is issued, accept and adopt geese."

If the previous step is approved by the parents of both parties, the next step is "name asking". The man's family asks the matchmaker to ask the woman's name and horoscope in order to prepare for the marriage. "Yi Li·Shi Hun Li" records: "Bin Zhiyan, may I ask for your name." Most of the words for asking the name are: "Since a certain person has been ordered, he will be added to the divination. Who dare to ask the woman to be her family." If the woman agrees, then Giving gifts; men's families determine good or bad luck through divination.If the horoscopes of men and women match, proceed to the next step.

Of course, at this point, if the man wants to go back on his word, he can say that the divination is unlucky and the horoscope is incompatible.Of course this is off topic.

Next is the third step "Naji". The man said to the woman's parents, I have already asked someone for divination, and my birth date and horoscope coincided, so I gave the wild goose again. If the woman accepts it, it is equivalent to confirming the door. marriage.

In the subsequent "recruitment" link, also commonly known as Xiapin, the man's family needs to choose an auspicious day and bring the dowry to the woman's home.

After these procedures are completed, the two parties are considered to have a formal engagement, and only wait for the man to "ask for a date", that is, after the man's family chooses a wedding date, he will prepare gifts and go to the woman's house to ask for the date of marriage.

Finally, there is the "welcome" link that everyone is familiar with.

"Adoption" and "name asking" are all in charge of the matchmaker, and the third step is the man's job.

On April [-], it was cold.

Zuo Houde and Zuo Jizu came to the gate of Huang's house, followed by the matchmaker, and then the two servants held a wild goose in their hands.

Mr. Huang and his wife received them warmly, and there were two men standing beside them. Zuo Houde had already inquired that they were both Miss Huang's brothers. , wearing a Tsing Yi straight embroidered, wearing a square scarf of the same color, looks like a scribe.His wife is also dignified and beautiful, as if she is a lady of everyone.

Ms. Huang was left in the boudoir. The husband's family had not hired her, and the two were not allowed to meet each other.

"The younger generation comes to marry the daughter of your family, and I hope you will not hesitate to marry me" Zuo Houde bowed his hands and saluted
"Oh! Nephew, do you dare to ask if the horoscopes match?" Master Huang smiled all over his face.

Now it's Zuo Jizu's turn to play, "I'm going to tell my brother, Jiaji, Yigeng, Bingxin, Dingren, Wugui, Zichou, Wuwei, Yinhai, Maoxuhuo, Chenyoujin, Sishenshui, Lingmei and Xiaoer have exactly the same horoscope, and they are very compatible."

Master Huang said happily, "Brother, you have worked hard! So, accept the gift!"

Miss Huang's brother went over to collect the geese.

The matchmaker yelled "Li Cheng!"

This process ended, and the elders of both sides also took this opportunity to meet.Afterwards, it is only waiting for the man's family to hire, and the marriage between the two parties is considered to be completed.

The third day of the fifth lunar month, Renwu month, Dingyou day

The auspicious days of the zodiac are suitable for marriage,
"It's a little tight." Zuo Houde reached out and grabbed the hand that was helping him tie the skirt, frowning and twisting his neck. This wedding dress is not only complicated, but also uncomfortable to wear.

"It looks better this way." Zuo's mother smiled while helping Zuo Houde tidy up his clothes.

"What's the matter? I'm not good-looking enough?" Zuo Houde glanced at Zuo's mother and asked.

"My son is naturally good-looking." Zuo's mother smiled lightly. Zuo Houde is eighteen this year. If you count the October month in the mother's womb, he will be nineteen. , because of practicing martial arts all the year round, although he looks gentle, his stature is not as thin as that of ordinary doctors. Yes, but with a little more masculinity.

"However, this marriage is a major event in life. It is naturally the best if it can be better." Zuo Mu smiled.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! What the hell are you dawdling about?" Zuo Jizu shouted again in the yard.In his hand, he was pulling a tall horse for welcoming the bride.

"Wait a minute, I'll loosen my belt!" Zuo Houde was also in a hurry
"Houde, there is no time, get on the horse quickly, it is not good to miss the auspicious time!" Zuo Jizu didn't pull very hard, so he simply pushed Zuo Houde and rode on the horse's back. Man, Zuo Houde's riding skills are not to say superb, but he is also so-so, otherwise he might not be able to get married today.

"Riding is finished!" Zuo Jizu said softly, "The groom is on the horse!"

It was the matchmaker who brought two young servants to hold the reins for Zuo Houde.As soon as they went out, the wedding party outside lined up in two rows, with the ones playing gongs and drums walking in front, Zuo Houde followed behind, followed by eight bridal sedan chairs.

Although the Zuo family does not say it is a high-ranking family, the Zuo family has been in this Youzhou for ten generations. It has been rooted for a hundred years, and the clan has hundreds of people. There are Zuo's connections in all walks of life. Fame, of course Zuo Houde's family can only be regarded as a branch of the Zuo clan, but for the important marriage, Zuo Jizu also invited the elders of the clan.

So this welcoming team is indispensable.In order not to let people see the joke.

All the way to Huangfu, there is another red tape, and relatives and friends must be lively and annoying.

Zuo Houde was relieved when he came out of Huang's mansion and ushered the bride into the wedding sedan chair, but when he thought of going back, he would have to go through this again, Zuo Houde felt like he wanted to go on this road forever .

Huang's mansion is not far from Zuo's house, but according to the custom, they didn't go back directly, but walked around the city in seven turns before returning home.

Here is to worship the parents of heaven and earth, and the parents and elders of the clan accept Zuo Houde's salute.

Then sacrificed to the ancestors, thanked relatives and friends, and the bride was sent back to the bridal chamber, but Zuo Houde had to drink with the guests. As night fell, it was time to enter the bridal chamber, Zuo Houde was [-]% drunk even if he put it away, but he hadn't rested yet, and had to make trouble in the bridal chamber.

Zuo Houde didn't want to suffer, so he said with a straight face: "Everyone, do you know why this trouble in the bridal chamber started?"

"Why?" The others asked curiously.

"It is said that a long time ago, the fairy Ziwei Xing came down to earth and met a group of wedding parties, followed by a woman in sackcloth and filial piety. Ziwei Xing saw that it was an evil spirit who was looking for an opportunity to do evil, so Ziwei Xing followed the wedding party all the way to the The groom's house, but found that the evil spirit had already arrived at the groom's house and hid in the bridal chamber.

When the couple finishes their wedding ceremony and is about to enter the bridal chamber, Ziweixing informs them that there are evil spirits hiding in the bridal chamber.Everyone was at a loss, so they asked Ziweixing for guidance.Ziweixing told everyone that this evil spirit is most attracted to people, and the evil spirit will not dare to do evil.So all the guests at the wedding went into the bridal chamber with the new couple, laughing and frolicking, and they drove away the evil spirits with their laughter. "

Everyone suddenly felt a little chill in the originally festive room.

"Okay, it's been a long time now, even the evil spirits have been scared away, it's not early, everyone should go to rest." Zuo Houde smiled and waved his hand.

Everyone heard the words and left suspiciously.

Only then Zuo Houde untied his belt and stepped into the wedding room with a relaxed body.

With the beauty beside him, even Zuo Houde couldn't help being distracted, and gently lifted the red hijab. When the hijab was raised, the bright red was amazing, like a lotus flower that couldn't bear the cool breeze.

"I've seen my husband!" Although she was shy, she saluted gracefully.

"The husband has also met his wife." Zuo Houde couldn't help chuckling.

"I don't know your wife's name yet?"

"My family's single name is Rong, and my parents are usually called Rong'er," Huang Rong said softly.

"Huang Rong?" Zuo Houde was a little surprised. He thought it was "Legend of the Condor Heroes", but then thought it might be a coincidence.

"Is there something wrong, husband?" Presumably Zuo Houde was surprised, and Huang Rong was also curious.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I heard a story before, and there was a little Rong'er in it, haha." Zuo Houde smiled freely.

"The slave family didn't know about it."

"You still don't know Lord Taishan's honorable name?"

"Father's name is Cheng Yan."

Zuo Houde breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately his name was not Huang Yaoshi, but Huang Chengyan sounded familiar.Zuo Houde didn't think too much about it.

"But my husband asked what this is for?"

Zuo Houde laughed, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I won't mention these things in this bridal chamber night, I should do something else."

"What else is there?" Huang Rong looked at Zuo Houde curiously, suddenly seemed to think of something, her face was flushed and shy.

"It's hard to explain, why don't I teach Madam?" Zuo Houde smiled as he saw Madam's face up close.

"Well, I listen to my husband!" Rong'er lowered her head, her voice no louder than a mosquito's.

"Haha, I'll leave it to my husband."
