Chapter 57: Drink together

In the night, the wedding party set off. The two families were not far apart, only two miles away. The man's mansion was located in Chongyefang on the east of Dingdingmen Street, while the woman's mansion was located in Xuanfengfang on the west of Dingdingmen Street, with only one Anyefang and one Dingdingmen Street in the middle.

The wedding party was about a hundred people, all of whom were dressed up by soldiers under Yang Yuanqing, and they were surrounded by a seven-scented car. Yang Yuanqing was wearing a big red wedding robe, a black gauze hat, and a silk flower slanted. He put on some makeup, looking very happy.

But the prime minister Li Chongxuan was a little uneasy. He kept looking forward. When Yang Yuanqing saw that he was a little nervous, he smiled and said, "What are you nervous? I'm not your groom today."

"I'm watching a stalemate."

A stagnant car is a custom in a wedding. The woman's family will set up obstacles to stop the car and ask for money halfway through. It is the same as asking for red envelopes today. Generally, they will stop the car and ask for gifts before the wedding or after receiving the bride. This is also a custom that makes the man's family very troubled. If the woman's family stops the car, it's okay. If she encounters a bully who blocks the road and asks for a stagnant car, it will be troublesome. If they can't satisfy it, they will catch the bride and humiliate for three days before they return. Later, it gradually becomes a kind of vulgarity.

Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "It's okay, A Gu said, there is no barrier-free car tonight, but you just need to sprinkle the boy's money when entering the door. You can prepare it and let everyone sprinkle more."

Li Chongxuan let go of his heart and turned around to make arrangements.

The wedding team came to the front of the Pei family's gate. The gate was closed. This was the beginning of the son-in-law. Yang Yuanqing urged him to come forward and said loudly: "The thief must be beaten, the guest must be watched, report to the sister-in-law, come out to see!"

Although Yang Yuanqing had passed the test of aunts a few days ago, there were still two questions that had to be done, one was the first door to recite and the other was the last door to recite.

I heard the voice of my eldest aunt Pei Hanyu from behind the door, and she asked, "Who is the gentleman? Where is the talent? Why is the spirit of a bright person? Why is he here?"

Yang Yuanqing also replied with a smile: "I was originally a gentleman in Chang'an. He was born in a military position and was elected as a general, so he was the highest sect."

The gate of Pei Mansion rumbled open, the lights inside were dazzling and the laughter was noisy. Dozens of children rushed out and bowed, "Greetings to the new son-in-law and asking for the happy money!"

Yang Sanlang and Yang Silang were prepared, so they picked up two small baskets and scattered a large handful of money to the children. The poor families scattered copper coins, the wealthy families scattered silver coins, and the wealthy families scattered money. The children were happy and fought desperately. Yang Sanlang and Yang Silang threw hundreds of silk and satin to the maids and servants of the Pei Mansion, and they were all happy for a while.

Amid the laughter, dozens of nephews from the Pei family surrounded the groom and the prime minister and walked into the gate. When they entered the female gate, the groom must be able to walk and answer the female questions, but they had already answered it a few days ago, and they were spared today and walked to the back hall.

When entering the hall, Minqiu's aunt Pei Hanyu asked again: "Since he is a gentleman from a noble family, he is more noble than the hero. If he doesn't know the purpose of his visit, what do you want?"

Yang Yuanqing replied: "I heard you speak so well, so I come to be like each other. A beautiful lady is a gentleman, and a gentleman is a good match."

Amid the applause of everyone, Yang Yuanqing and the prime minister walked into the inner hall. The prime minister Li Chongxuan carried a basket in his hand and covered with colorful brocade, which was prepared for the next step.

Below is the important geese sacrifice ceremony. There are several screens surrounded in the lobby. The bride Minqiu is sitting in a saddle. Next to it are her cousin Pei You and her cousin Pei Xiaozhi.

Yang Yuanqing took the basket and took out a wild goose from the basket. It was a live goose, wrapped in red silk, and tied the mouth with five-color cotton. He smiled and said, "I'm going to throw it away."

Pei Minqiu replied inside, "I'm ready to pick it up!"

This is the geese that both parties need to use to deliver letters when the couple separates in the future. All are very important and should not be killed if they fall to death. In a few days, the groom's family will come to redeem the geese and release them.

Yang Yuanqing carefully threw the geese in. It is worthy of being the number one arrow in the world. It throws it accurately and has a good control of its strength. It is neither fast nor slow. Pei Minqiu just reached out to catch it. The whole room was cheering. Pei Hanyu smiled and said, "Please rest for the gentleman, and the bride put on makeup!"

Someone took Yang Yuanqing and the others to rest, and first drank a bowl of honey glutinous rice balls and then had a meal. It was late at night, and the banquet at the man's house had ended, and there was no meal when he went back. It was usually the woman's house meal.

It was already the first time to stop the meal. The following is a poem to urge the bride to set off and not mistakenly bridal chamber. In fact, the bride has already put on makeup and her mother also opened a date for her, but she had to be reserved and could not be picked up so easily.

The makeup urging poem is a fixed format, and the content can be changed slightly. Yang Yuanqing slowly walked to the bottom of the embroidery building and chanted loudly: "I used to travel to the frontier in the past. Yang Wutou, the general of the battle, is lucky to be a meeting of Qin and Jin, and the early education of the phoenix went down to the makeup stairs."

After waiting for a while, there was no response from the above and he had to chant again. Yang Yuanqing had prepared in advance and had to chant loudly again: "Tonight, the Weaver Girl descended to the world. She has free makeup in front of the mirror. She has her own peach blossoms reflecting the deer's face, and she does not need to be dirty with makeup."

Mrs. Wang smiled at her daughter on the embroidery building and said, "The time is here, go!"

Pei Minqiu knelt down to his mother and said with tears in her eyes: "My daughter is gone, I hope she will take care of her mother. Her daughter will come back to visit her from time to time."

Mrs. Wang gently hugged her daughter and put it on her phoenix crown. She also said with tears in her eyes: "Today is your happy day. Don't cry and be sad. After going to the Yang family, you must respect your husband, be filial to your elders, be thrifty in the family, treat your subordinates well, and treat your sisters well, especially treat your sisters. Never be arrogant."

"Daughter remember!"

Pei Minqiu kowtowed three times to his mother, got up and left. There were already a large group of unmarried daughters of the Pei family at the door. Dozens of Pei family women surrounded the bride and walked slowly downstairs. The sound of wearing a ring was the bride's maid Pei Xiaozhi and the dowry maid Aqiu. They supported the bride from left to right. The bride Minqiu wore a phoenix crown and a green robe. There was no veil during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but the four maids covered their faces with round fans from front and back.

Yang Yuanqing walked in front, Minqiu was surrounded by her mother's family, and the elders of the Pei family kept splashing water with copper basins, which meant that they were splashing water out. Minqiu was from the Yang family since then.

Minqiu was helped to the Qixiang car, with only the bridesmaids and dowry maids following him. Yang Yuanqing rode his horse around the Qixiang car three times and whispered: "After the ceremony, let's go!"

The wedding team walked slowly around the carriage. The old and young Pei family stood in front of the gate and watched them go away. After leaving the door, Minqiu was the wife of the Yang family. Mrs. Cui sighed, "Everyone come in! Go back in three days, everyone will rest early and prepare tomorrow."

Everyone entered the door and the door slowly closed.

The weddings of the Sui and Tang dynasties inherited the ancient rituals, and there was no custom of getting married. It only became popular in the Song and Yuan dynasties. As early as the day before, Pei Minqiu's mother, Mrs. Wang and her eldest aunt Pei Hanyu came to the Yang family to shop, which was to build a tent of a hundred sons, a tent of a dome. This is the custom of the Northern Dynasties, which is a bridal chamber. It is set up in the inner hall and lay a bed in the tent. Then there was only one child inside, holding wine. This is called "shopping mother children".

It was late at night and the guests had already dispersed. Usually the male family was waiting for the newcomer. Yang Yuanqing had no male family. Apart from his nine iron guards, the rest were Yu Juluo, Li Min and his wife, Yang Lihua, and more than a hundred palace maids and eunuchs.

Although the man's family was small, there was also a lot of lively. More than a hundred palace maids and eunuchs whispered and stretched their necks to visit the bride. A few maids were carrying two felt blankets and waiting in front of the door. Qixiang car stopped. Several maids immediately stepped forward and placed the felt blanket at their feet. This was called "turning felt". The bride's feet could not touch the ground. The two felt blankets were exchanged in turn and entered the Hundred Citizens.

Several palace maids walked forward with long-handed fan in their hands, covering the bride. They stepped on the felt blanket. The bride walked forward step by step and was taken into the 100-year-old tent.

The 100-child account is located in the inner hall. The tent is spacious and divided into two rooms inside and outside. The inner room is covered with a bed. A child stands in the outer tent with a wine. The bridesmaid and dowry maid help the bride in. The minister invites the groom in. Everyone retreats. Only the bride and groom and a child are left in the 100-child account.

At this time, the newcomer sat opposite each other, the man and the woman in the east, and the intention was to have a yin and yang exchange. The little boy came forward with a wine of romance and whispered: "Please drink a newcomer together."

The wine of the same wine is not a cup of wine, but a melon is made into two parts, and the wine is filled with wine. The melon tastes bitter, so it must be bitter wine. Drinking the wine of the same wine together not only symbolizes the marriage of the same wife and is always in one, but also contains the profound meaning of letting the bride and groom share the joys and sorrows.

It was only then that Yang Yuanqing saw the bride's appearance for the first time. Pei Minqiu's face was beautiful, long and slender, with a flower-shaped phoenix crown hanging down, her graceful body and jade body, wearing a light green silk dress, her crystal skin shone brightly under the candlelight. She lowered her head, her pretty face was slightly red, and her eyes were full of affection, just like a budding flower bud blooming in the fragrance.

Although Pei Minqiu was extremely shy, the little boy's words were heard in his ears, and his slender jade fingers were stretched out, and his nails were dyed with a bright red color of cardamom.

She picked up a melon wine cup and sent it to her lips to suck it gently. Her eyes fluttered and she glanced at her husband. Seeing that he was staring at her with bright eyes, she was immediately embarrassed. She covered her beautiful face with her sleeves and handed him the wine cup.

Yang Yuanqing also picked up the wine cup and took a sip, exchanged his wine cup with the wine cup in her hand. The two of them drank the wine in one go and put it in the little boy's plate.

The little boy whispered again: "The auspicious time is here, please sit on the bed!"

Yang Yuanqing stood up and reached out to help Pei Minqiu slowly. Pei Minqiu was timid and weak, so he had to let him hold his jade hand and half lean on his chest. Yang Yuanqing held Pei Minqiu's soft waist, and the two hugged each other and walked into the inner tent. A couple sat down in front of the bed. The wedding was not over yet.

The little boy lowered the curtain of the inner tent for them, blew out the candle, left the tent of the hundred-school tent, and whispered: "The newcomer has already sat on the bed!"

Yang Lihua brought all her family and dozens of palace maids to come forward. They scattered flowers, fruits and money on the tent of the Hundred Sons. At this time, the customs that the Han Dynasty had continued to this day.

Yang Lihua whispered a mantra, "Tonight, the girl Pei and her son are in a good relationship. After the wish is fulfilled, they will live a long life. Conserve the good fortune. Five men and two women, and the servants will be together. The man is willing to be the prime minister and the daughter will marry the prince. After this mantra, the husband and wife will grow old together!"

After reading, she waved her hand and everyone left the inner hall. In addition to the dowry maid Xiaoqiu, she also set up a side tent in the inner hall and could serve her at any time.

Xiaoqiu locked the inner hall door, blew out the candle, and went forward and said, "The guest has left. Please ask the girl and the grandpa to sleep together. If you have any questions, please call Xiaoqiu."

She got into her tent, covered her head and face with her quilt, her ears blocked, and her face turned red with shame.

In the tent of the hundred sons, Minqiu snuggled in his husband's arms, and the two of them talked endlessly, "Tonight, I will be my wife, and I will grow old together, so you should not let me down."

Yang Yuanqing kissed her sweet lips gently and smiled, "**Short, you and I can do the rituals of Duke Zhou, and I will never let you down!"

Minqiu was extremely shy and took off the phoenix crown on her head. Her black waterfall-like hair was spread on her shoulders. Her eyes were slightly closed. Yang Yuanqing kissed her fragrant lips lightly and reached out to slowly untie her dress.
