Chapter 164 Bride 1200(1/2)
The fourth update is, please subscribe.
The next afternoon, outside the Zhang family.
A carriage was decorated with red silk flowers and was very festive and beautiful. The father, who was also in red, boarded the float surrounded by Zhang Chao and others.
"Go to welcome the bride!"
The Zhang family's wedding reception team was very large, with more than 300 people, all of them were tenants of the Zhang family. A large group of strong men and young men changed into new clothes today, and everyone also got a big red silk given by the Zhang family. Everyone used this big red silk to tie a big red flower and tied it to their chests.
More than 300 people slowly advanced towards the Ke family in a carriage.
Because the Ke family is also in Zhangjiagou, the floats were specially circled around the village three times and even passed by Bailu Township Street.
Zhang Chao also had a big red shirt, wearing a big red silk flower on his chest, and was happily following the back of the carriage.
The team shouted from time to time to welcome the bride and walked slowly.
The sun has moved to the west, full of beautiful sunsets.
The team finally arrived in front of Ke's house.
It was Ma Zhou's turn to appear at this time. He first called the Ke family's door on behalf of Mr. Zhang, went in to see Qi Niang's parents and relatives, and waited for a set of gifts to come out again.
The Ke family’s parents have passed this level, but they have to pass several levels to pick up the bride.
"Okay, everyone, it's us now."
Zhang Chao stood on a stone on the side of the road and shouted loudly, "Everyone will follow my command later and shout with me. One, two, three, bride, come out quickly!"
So more than a hundred strong men followed Zhang Chao and shouted loudly at the Ke family, "Wife, come out quickly!"
"Bride, come out quickly, bride, come out quickly."
Everyone had a hearty banquet at the Zhang family today, so they are full of energy now. More than a hundred people called the bride together, and the scene was indeed very big.
I shouted at least hundreds of times, and everyone in the village came to watch.
At this time, the third lady came out.
She stood at the door without saying a word.
Zhang Chao immediately stepped forward and stuffed a bunch of money into his hand.
The third lady smiled and didn't say anything and didn't let go.
Zhang Chao waved his hand and Cheng Chumo immediately ran over. Today he was as bright as Zhang Chao, like a cooked prawn.
The second time I gave it, it was a little silver.
The third lady still didn't speak and still smiled.
Zhang Chao waved his hand again, and the cow saw the tiger trot up and handed over a small gold bar.
The copper, silver and gold were collected, and the third lady nodded with satisfaction.
"The bride is still wearing makeup. As long as you can write a poem to urge makeup, the bride will be quicker."
Zhang Chao waved his hand again, and Ma Zhou, who was also wearing a big red dress, came over.
“It is said that the candle is lowered and the red pink is not to be in front of the mirror;
You don’t need to be full of makeup but have eyebrows waiting for the painter to paint."
"Good poem."
Countless men from the Zhang family shouted, but in fact, everyone didn't know if it was good. Anyway, Sanlang had an explanation, and the Ma Chan Office immediately applauded as soon as he recited the poem.
Ma Zhou's face turned red when everyone called him. Last night, he thought about it all night and wrote a poem that he thought was pretty good. But when Zhang Chao heard it in the morning, he directly rejected it. This made Ma Zhou very unwilling to accept it. I am so talented, so what's wrong with this poem?
As a result, Zhang Chao wrote a casual poem, which is the one he reads now. After listening to it, Ma Zhou said nothing. This poem is 108,000 times better than his own. He simply doubted that his poem was not as good as a monk who returned to the world?
Zhang Chao casually said that it was not what he did, but he just saw it in poetry books before, and he couldn't remember whose poem it was. Ma Zhou didn't believe this answer at all. How could he not know such a good poem, and it was written by his predecessors?
After Ma Zhou's poem to urge makeup, the Ke family finally sent Ke Qiniang out.
The Ke family also prepared a carriage, which was also decorated very beautifully.
At this time, my father asked the old cow to turn around in the carriage and take the lead and leave first.
Keshan drove the carriage and carried the seventh lady on the heels.
Customary: The wedding car of the woman’s family is prepared by the woman’s family.
The bride took the car to the groom's house, and the girl's house also wanted to see him off. Ke Wu took the Ke family from Zhangjiagou to see him off. They had to take him all the way to the Zhang family, and then had to eat a mat at the Zhang family and wait for a night before returning.
At this time, the sun was dusk, and the two families returned to the Zhang family with two carriages one after another.
The groom did not ride a horse to welcome the bride, which made Zhang Chao feel a little regretful. But this is a traditional custom, and it was not something that Zhang Chao said. Later generations welcomed the bride in the morning, but the Tang people were in dusk.
But getting married is not that easy.
The carriage and horse were halfway through.
The Ke family is causing trouble again.
Ke Wu led dozens of men from the Ke family to the front of his father's carriage and blocked the road.
This is also a custom, with makeup urging in front and car escaping behind.
It’s okay to think about it, leave it to buy wealth.
Zhang Chao was also prepared for a long time, so he waved his hand directly, so Cheng Chumo, Niu Jianhu, Li Gan, and Yuchi Baolin, four guys, each of them lifted a sack from the carriage.
"Hey ha!"
The four of them carried four sacks and put them in front of Ke Wu and others, then opened the bag and started to spread the money.
All of them were copper coins, and Zhang Chao prepared 6,666 copper coins, which meant that 666 were very smooth.
Copper coins were scattered, and a layer of copper light was on the way.
Ke Wu and others laughed and picked up money. Each of the hundreds of people picked up dozens of coins of copper coins, and then made way out with satisfaction.
The carriage finally moved forward smoothly and arrived in front of the Zhangjiayuan.
Then the woman has to follow the rules of the Zhang family.
The butler had prepared three liters of corn at home, filled it into a stone mortar, and took a mat to cover the wellhead, stuffed it into the window with three kilograms of numb and put three arrows at the door of the new house.
Qi Niang, wearing a red veil, got out of the car and entered the Zhang family, and was directly led by Sanniang to the kitchen to worship the stove.
This is a custom, which means that in the future, brides can become good at handling housework.
Zhang Chao and other relatives came out of the door, then walked around the circle and entered through the main door, and stepped on the bride's footprints together to show their good luck.
There is also a marriage custom. When getting married in the twelfth lunar month, the bride cannot meet her aunt. The Tang people called their parents-in-law the uncle and aunt, but when getting married in the twelfth lunar month, they cannot meet her mother-in-law.
And what's more strange is that there was no church at this time.
Instead, a tent should be built with a green curtain in the yard, called Qinglu. The newlyweds complete the worship ceremony here and have to spend the first night here.
It is said that this is a custom passed down during the Northern Dynasties, with a bit of Hu style. This custom was still used in the early Tang Dynasty, and it was not until later that it was changed to marrying in the house.
People from both families watched the ceremony together.
The father is big red, the seventh lady is big green, the red man is green and the woman is in the Qinglu.
"Worship the heaven and earth!"
"Two visits to the high hall!"
"Mr. and wife!"
Zhang Chao noticed that when the couple bowed, it was not the couple bowed each other together, but the Qi Niang bowed first and then the father bowed back, four times instead of three times.
Zhang Chao was very happy to watch it, and felt very novel. His father's wedding was like his own wedding rehearsal. After watching his father's wedding, he didn't have to worry about going on a business trip when he married Thirteenth Lady in a few days.
After the ceremony, I did not send it to the bridal chamber.
After the commemoration, there are several rituals.
Among them, there is a croaker, which divides a gourd into two scoops and a gourd into two halves. The father and Qi Niang take half of it, and then pour the wine and drink it.
No drinks!
After drinking, the two of them turned the cup upside down. This means harmony of yin and yang, otherwise they would be bullied by their wife in their lives. Moreover, on the first night of their wedding, their shoes should not be stepped on by their brides, and their clothes should not be pressed down, otherwise they would be bullied.
When Zhang Chao almost burst into laughter when he heard the serious nonsense of the girls Qiuyue and Dongqing.
"It's true, what the old man said will not be wrong." Dong Qing looked like what I said was true.
After drinking, you will slap it.
When Qi Niang went out, she wore a veil and a phoenix crown and a robe.
Before the meeting, Qi Niang had to hold a fan and fold her face.
After the handover, you can remove the fan.
But this fan will not be taken away casually, and you have to make a poem but fan, which is like a poem that urges makeup.
"Dad, I'm here to see you."
Zhang Chao smiled and said to his father, who looked helpless. He could not write poetry at all, but fortunately, he just recited one poem but slapped the poem.
