Seeing Qiao Ying's appearance, Qiao Jin pouted immediately, jumped out of the carriage with some resentment, and walked towards the side.

"If you don't show it, then don't show it, Shaojun is really stingy, I'll just find other lanterns myself!"

With a pursed mouth and a rather displeased look, Qiao Jin jumped out of the carriage, and then walked towards the previous few lanterns that fell on the ground, intending to see what was written inside.

And after picking up a lantern, she didn't look from the inside of the lantern, so she managed to recognize the words on the lantern from the outside by the light of the fire.

……

"Mountains have trees... trees have branches."

"Your heart pleases you...what about the back?"

……

"What's behind!?"

Quite frantically, she asked aloud, Qiao Jin saw that the lantern was written with a small poem earlier, so she couldn't help reading it softly.

What made her a little crazy was that at the end of this little poem, it was blackened by the candlelight inside the lantern, and she couldn't make out what was written on the original paper at all.

Curiously, she turned around and asked her master, Qiao Ying. Qiao Jin was sure that she had heard this poem somewhere before, and it was even possible that she had heard it mentioned by her mistress, Jun Qiaoying.

What makes her a little dissatisfied is that because she has always been not too interested in books and the like, and Qiaoying usually just makes her read more books, so she finally needs to use them today. At the time of knowledge, Qiao Jin suddenly got stuck, and couldn't remember what was written in the second half of the poem.

It was just beyond Qiao Jin's expectation that after hearing her involuntarily whispering earlier, Qiao Ying also looked at her curiously, as if something unbelievable had happened.

Chapter 68

"Hey, why don't you say that there are two princes from one family and two generations. I have been working hard in the palace for so many years, and I am just a handyman..."

"Mr. Zhang is really knowledgeable and talented."

Sighing slightly, the carriage started again soon, and rushed towards Zhang Yan's home at a faster speed than before, as if he wanted to catch up all the time that was lost before.

Sitting in the compartment of the carriage with a reddish complexion, Qiao Ying was holding a few small notes tightly in her hands at the moment, not knowing what she was thinking about.

……

"Mountains have trees...the trees have branches, and the heart pleases you...you don't know."

……

"Work hard to cherish the spring flowers, and don't forget the happy times."

"In life, you should come back, and in death, you should love longing."

……

"The mountains have no edges, the rivers are exhausted, the winter thunders shake, the summer rains and snows, the heaven and the earth are united, so I dare to break with you..."

……

Whispering constantly in her mouth, Qiao Ying sat in the carriage with a blushing face, constantly chanting the poems recorded on the cut pieces of paper.

When I was on the side of the road just now, from the lantern that Qiao Jin picked up, Qiao Ying discovered that the content written in the other's lantern seemed to be different from the one in her hand, but it was undoubtedly the same. An exquisite and short love poem with strong charm.

And seeing that there seemed to be different versions of the lantern, Qiao Ying naturally ordered the strong men holding torches to help her collect a lot of lanterns along the way, until there was no new content.

Including the two love poems in the hands of herself and Qiao Jin at the beginning, Qiao Ying found seven different versions in these lanterns, from the "Book of Songs: Taoyao" sung in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Han Yuefu compiled The Yuefu poems are all involved.

And seeing these poems, although Qiaoying didn't say much on the surface, she still chose the cleanest and tidy one for each version of the lantern, took off the part with the handwriting, carefully sorted it, folded it, and put it away. into his arms.

As of now, most of these lanterns have been gradually extinguished, and under the action of the summer evening wind, they have scattered to various places in Luoyang City.

And when they wake up tomorrow, the people in Luoyang City will find that the whole city of Luoyang is full of love letters "sent" to themselves by Zhang Yan.

Her gaze flickered slightly, although Qiao Ying didn't say much at the moment, but after being interrupted by this incident, she lost the interest of thinking wildly as before, on the contrary, she was full of joy.

Fiction Group: Two 0 (vi) 8560 (v [-])

As for the other side, Zhang Yan was leaning against a big tree in front of his house at the moment, staring at the darkness in the distant sky with some ecstasy.

……

"Oh, how long has it been, why hasn't it arrived yet?"

"If this goes on like this, it's probably going to be the time of Xu. I don't know where they are now, and whether they have received the little gift I prepared..."

He kept muttering to himself, as early as before, after Zhang Yan had given orders to the servants and young children who had been arranged in advance, he rushed back home immediately to make various preparations for welcoming the bride.

But now he has set up the auditorium, and with Ye'er's help, he has confirmed several times that there is no problem with the layout of the bridal chamber, but he still hasn't seen his black-painted wedding car with Qiao Ying appear in his field of vision.

You must know that Zhang Rang had already arrived at Zhang Yan's home nearly an hour ago, and had already sent someone over to urge him several times.

It's just because today is Zhang Yan's happy event, so Zhang Rang didn't lose his temper and blame the court official in charge of driving.

Fortunately, Zhang Yan didn't have to wait for too long. After a while, he saw a group of people rushing towards him. The leader was the most powerful and powerful person in his family. A few domestic servants supporting the scene.

And under his longing eyes, the carriage drove swayingly for a long time, and finally arrived at the gate of Zhang Yan's small courtyard.

"It's your turn, hurry up, hurry up!"

Seeing the carriage stop, Zhang Yan immediately regained his spirits, and then ordered the servants beside him who had already held fiery red silk and had been waiting for a long time to rush forward, starting from the side of the carriage, all the way to the main hall that he specially used as the auditorium. inside the hall.

Zhang Yan himself came to the carriage full of excitement, and after lightly buckling the shaft three times, with the help of Qiao Jin, he stretched out his hand to lift the door curtain on the carriage.

Gently helping Qiao Ying off the carriage, Zhang Yan gestured to the ceremony officer, then took Qiao Ying's hand, and walked towards his home step by step firmly.

Looking at the newly decorated courtyard with some novelty, although Qiaoying felt a little shy when the other party led her in public, at this moment her attention was all focused on the red silk on the ground and the courtyard everywhere. Lighting items such as lanterns draw the past.

"Unexpectedly, you are quite careful..."

Humming and chirping, she muttered to Zhang Yan, and followed the other party, Qiao Ying saw that the road after she got out of the car was covered with red silk all the way to the other party's home, and her face couldn't help showing a smile. A hint of joy.

On the other hand, after hearing this, although Zhang Yan said nothing, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and did not deny Qiao Ying's words.

As early as when he went to greet the bride, he discovered that Qiaoying was wearing a pair of silk shoes with round toes and extremely thin soles. He immediately recalled that in the wedding of the Han Dynasty, the bride's side needs to be full body. Wearing silk fabrics is regulated.

Although this rule has been around for a long time, Zhang Yan frowned when he saw Qiao Ying's slightly staggering steps at that time, and then he remembered this matter in his heart.

After he returned home, in addition to ordering people to prepare the wine, meat, candles and other tools needed for the wedding, Zhang Yan also did not forget to order people to prepare two extra rolls of red silk at home, which are now just used Lay the ground to prevent the other party from feeling uncomfortable.

Now that his little thought was discovered by the other party, Zhang Yan also felt a little embarrassed.

"Well, seeing that it was inconvenient for you earlier, let them prepare it."

"It's getting late, come in with me."

Responding to Qiao Ying in a low voice, Zhang Yan smiled slightly, and led her into the auditorium first.

Immediately afterwards, after Qiao Ying entered together, she saw that a group of people including Zhang Rang had already taken their positions, each of them was obviously preparing for the arrival of herself and Zhang Yan.

Chapter 69 Big Wedding Nine

Entering the room, Zhang Yan noticed that everyone was guarding their positions one by one at the moment, as if they were preparing for battle.

At the same time, Zhang Rang, who came from the palace on a temporary leave, was sitting in the main seat with a blank expression like a statue, not knowing what he was thinking.

It's just that from the slightly sweaty palm of the other party, it can be seen that this top dignitary who is used to calling the wind and calling the rain on weekdays and seeing strong winds and waves seems to be very nervous now.

It wasn't until Zhang Yan and the two entered the room one after another that he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time his body relaxed slightly.

I saw that in the room specially used as the auditorium, a floor table with a length of more than one meter was placed at the position facing the gate due south at the moment. Among the black square plates, they are neatly placed on the table.

And after bringing Qiao Ying into the auditorium, Zhang Yan and Qiao Ying sat on both sides of the table at the gesture of the officiant.

Bright candles were burning quietly in this small room, reflecting the entire room like daytime without a trace of darkness.Soon, a group of servants and other idlers retreated slowly along the edge of the room.

The door of the auditorium was closed tightly by the officiant, that is to say, the ceremony officer who came from the palace, and a somewhat dull light sound immediately entered the ears of everyone present.And this is also from the wedding process, which symbolizes the end of the kissing ceremony, and the link of the husband and wife "together in prison and eating together, and getting married together" is about to begin.

This so-called Hebei ceremony is actually the predecessor of "Hexing wine", and gradually evolved into a relatively simple but ritual wedding process called "Joining wine" during the development of China. spread across the land.

In this wedding ceremony, under the guidance of the ceremony officer, the husband and wife need to put the three meats of "pig, cow, and sheep" on the table in the same vessel, as well as the three kinds of meat from the Eastern Han Dynasty "wheat, millet, and rice". The main food is divided equally and eaten, which is also a ceremony that symbolizes the equal status of the husband and wife, the same respect, and the same prison refers to the container that holds the food.

After "eating in the same prison", the ritual officer will break a gourd that has been dried in advance and made into a gourd, and the husband and wife will each hold a gourd and feed wine into each other's mouths.

During the process of feeding wine, absolutely not a single drop of wine falls, and when all the wine in the gourd is drunk, the two broken wine gourds will be combined into one and treasured by the couple, symbolizing When the husband and wife are united with one heart, the relationship is closer than that of ordinary people. This is also the marriage of the same prison.

Sitting nervously in front of this table, although Zhang Yan has been busy all day, he has not eaten any rice or water, but at this moment, when he sees the food on the table, he does not have the slightest thought of eating happily None, on the contrary, I feel more and more nervous as time goes by.

On the opposite side of him, Qiao Ying naturally had the same appearance, her eyes, as nimble as a deer, raised up from time to time, secretly glanced at Zhang Yan, and then quickly fell down, her face was also slightly pink .

Controlling himself to take a deep breath, Zhang Yan moved his body a little, then straightened his back, and cast a questioning look at the ceremony officer at the side.

And the ceremony official also came to the two of them in no hurry, stood on the main seat in the north, took out a scroll that had been prepared before, opened it in front of everyone, and slowly read out.

……

"My old friend said—"

"In the past, Hongmeng was opened up, and Yin and Yang were materialized. All things are nourished, and humans are primates."

"Gai's sons and daughters love each other, and the book etiquette is passed on. When you get married, you will be trusted by the guests."

"Today we eat in three prisons, and we drink together. The heaven and the earth are the evidence, and the sun and the moon are the name."

"May the sound of Guanju be sung forever, and the two respect each other as guests. May Ruiye V prosper, and wish to open the transformation of Ernan."

"Although there are turbulent torrents in the coming day, and the candlelight in the cold kiln, it is difficult to defend the firmness of this love."

……

The ups and downs of the voice sounded in the small room, and as the officiant announced, there was also a faint sound of music from the courtyard outside the door.

It's just that the sound of this music is not the sorrow and sorrow of the previous one, but a tinkling sound, giving people a rather serious and solemn feeling.

"This... is the chime?"

Somewhat curiously, she cast a glance outside the door, but Qiao Ying did not expect that there would be a very rare musical instrument like a chime to make an appearance at the wedding.

But after thinking about it, she also understood somewhat. After all, Zhang Yan is now a nobleman of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he is naturally a little different from ordinary people in matters such as weddings and funerals.

When the solemn bell rang, the officiant took three steps back with a solemn face, and knelt down against the wall, leaving enough space for Zhang Yan and the two of them.

And tremblingly picked up the jade chopsticks at the side, Zhang Yan's heart beat with a "bang", "bang" somewhat disappointingly.

……

"Which one to eat first?"

On the opposite side, Qiaoying asked Zhang Yan in a low voice. She looked at the six small plates on the table, and couldn't help but feel a little awkward for a while.

On the other side, after Zhang Yan took a deep breath, he moved his chopsticks first, picking up the soft, glutinous and white rice in a small bowl on the left.
