Today is February 27th, the day that Yang Fan and the Tu Shan family have decided to welcome, and it is also the day of Yang Fan's wedding.
One morning, the entire Yang Mansion became lively.
Today is a good day. At the fifth watch, the groom's family offers a full set of five animal blessings and fruits in the hall to offer sacrifices to "the king of heaven and earth, his relatives and master", which is commonly known as "Xianxian".
Everyone in the Yang Mansion must eat "Xianxian Tangguo" for breakfast.
Tangguo is also called Yuanzi, which means "reunion" and "completeness".
This thing is similar to Yuanxiao. It is also a glutinous rice dumpling with fillings, but it is much smaller.
After breakfast, the groom Yang Fan dressed up, rode a majestic war horse, and led a mighty procession to the Iron Lion Alley in Xicheng to marry Tu Shanyue.
At the forefront were a hundred cavalrymen, dressed in auspicious uniforms, looking very imposing.
Both the Yang Fan and Tu Shan families were members of the military family. When military attachés got married, they usually sent out their own troops to build momentum.
Behind him are Yang Fan and the accompanying personnel. The British Duke Sun Zhang Shize, dressed in Jifu, accompanied the test. Other heads of Yang Fan's system followed behind.
Further behind is a team of drummers and a large sedan chair for Tu Shanyue. Other casual guests followed and followed behind.
Speaking of which, Yang Fan was not qualified to sit on the eight-carriage sedan chair.
A third-grade Beijing official can sit in a four-carriage sedan in Beijing, and can ride in an eight-carriage sedan when leaving the capital.
But when marrying a wife among the people, the bride can ride in an eight-carat sedan chair on the day of her wedding. The premise is that she must be the head wife, and a concubine does not have this qualification.
The reason for this treatment is thanks to Queen Ma, the founding queen of the Ming Dynasty.
Empress Ma felt sorry for the women in the world who had to work hard to take care of the family and children, and asked Emperor Taizu for this grace for all the women in the world.
On the wedding day, you can wear the phoenix crown and harem that only the queen could wear in the previous dynasty, and you can ride in an eight-carriage sedan.
A woman spends her whole life caring for her husband and raising children in the backyard of a deep house, and she can only be so prosperous on the day she gets married.
Sitting in a sedan chair also means that the matchmaker is marrying and the first wife, and a woman can only sit once in her life.
If Yang Fan and Tu Shanyue quarreled in the future, Tu Shanyue could confidently say: I am your husband, and you carried me in with the big red sedan chair with the middle door wide open. I am not a concubine, so I walked up to the door myself. , to attack Yang Fan.
Today is the wedding day. When the sedan chair goes out, there is an offering table at the door. Sister Xiangyi offers pure tea and four-color cakes to the "sedan god".
Donkey Dan was setting off muskets and firecrackers at the gate, Zhang Goda was holding a red lantern to clear the way, and the drummers immediately started blowing and beating.
After these procedures were completed, Yang Fan waved his hand and the team set off.
The groom has not yet arrived at his father-in-law's house to welcome the bride, so he should use his bride's wife as his messenger and set off in advance with a name sticker.
For this once in his life, Yang Fan naturally wanted to make his wife look glamorous and satisfy her.
Every other mile along the way, people were arranged to set off 10,000 firecrackers in advance to heighten the joyful atmosphere.
Xiao Niangpi was wearing a wedding dress and covering her head, sitting on her gums, feeling as if grass had grown in her heart. She would ask her once in a while if her uncle had left and where he was.
"Miss, Xi Niang has already come to the door. It's time for me to set off. We should be arriving at the Back Gate Bridge soon."
The maids all covered their mouths and laughed secretly, wondering how anxious their young lady was.
The Tushan family also got up early to get busy with their work.
Early this morning, the bride Tushan's family hired a bride to use five-color cotton yarn to remove the hair on the bride Tushanyue's face, which is commonly known as "opening the face."
When she opens her face, she has the intention of leaving the palace, and from then on she becomes a woman.
Relatives, friends and guests who came to Tushan's house early would have breakfast at Tushan's house.
There is a special thing about this breakfast, which is called "open noodle soup and fruit".
The skin of the little girl who has opened her face is now smoother and smoother than jade. Plus, she is one-third shy, one-third nervous, and one-third expectant, making her look even more delicate.
The little girl is waiting anxiously.
A maid ran in and shouted: "Come, come, my uncle is at the door, hurry up and get ready."
When the sedan comes, the woman's Tushan family will set off firecrackers to welcome the sedan, and immediately leave the door open and "block the sedan door". After making things difficult and composing a poem, she stuffs the red envelope and then opens the door.
As soon as Yang Fan's team arrived at the road in front of Tushan's house, firecrackers sounded intensively. The door of Tushan's house slammed shut.
Yang Fan and Zhang Shize looked at each other and smiled. Yang Fan cupped his hands and said, "Brother Laoshi."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Zhang Shize got off his horse.
He straightened his clothes, coughed slightly, and walked to the door with square steps.
"Bride, be ready, the sedan chair has arrived, it's an auspicious time," Zhang Shize said loudly.
"The bride is still putting on makeup, please wait a moment." A woman's voice inside said.
At this time, it is time to make up, and the make-up must be elegant, so naturally you have to write a make-up poem.
"The golden chariot is about to ride up to the east wind, and the clouds are cleared to see the drunken sky. I am alone in my celestial body, half vomiting in shame, and the ice porcelain dew is white and reddish."
"Okay!" Everyone inside the gate immediately cheered.
This makeup poem is really well done.
It probably means, bride, it's time for you to get into the sedan chair, but you are still too scared to go out.
Let the girl have some cold wine to strengthen her courage.
When the wine glass was empty, he became bolder, his face turned red, and he even skipped rouge.
This male guest Zhang Shize is so talented!
The red envelope was stuffed through the crack at the bottom of the door.
The door burst open, and the people inside automatically separated to both sides.
Make way for the wedding team.
Huang San and others were carrying sheepskin bags, which contained ten bunches of wedding money.
The pure copper coins are shining with golden light and are tied with red threads into a square knot, which is really beautiful.
"Good luck and good fortune", "Raise the case with eyebrows", "The husband sings and the wife follows", "The baby will be born soon"
As they shouted auspicious words, Huang San and others grabbed the wedding coins and threw them to both sides.
It is usually difficult for the servants and maids of Tushan Mansion to receive rewards. Today, this young lady is getting married, and her uncle gave it to everyone. There was a sudden burst of joy.
Everyone is fighting for the wedding money.
The sedan chair was placed in the center of the courtyard upon entering, and Yang Fan and Zhang Shize walked towards the second door.
At this time, the second door closed with a bang again.
Zhang Shize softly whispered again and continued to recite makeup-inducing poems.
"I was going to visit Yujing in the past, and the number one immortal was Xu Zhuangtou. Today I am fortunate enough to attend the Qin and Jin gatherings, and I will teach Luan Feng to go down to the makeup building early."
Yang Fan waited for him to finish reciting, and quickly stuffed the red envelope into the crack of the door. Behind the second door is my brother-in-law, who won't open the door without giving me a red envelope.
Another round of cheers came from inside the door.
The second door opened, Tu Shanhu grabbed the red envelope, and Mei's nose bubbles were about to come out.
Yang Fan touched his head and continued walking inside.
When Yang Fan made a breakthrough, as soon as he entered the hospital, the Tushan family was holding a ceremony.
At this time, the sedan must be parked with the sedan door facing outward. Someone from Tushan's family would light a red candle and hold a mirror, and look into the sedan to expel the evil spirits hiding in the sedan, which is called "Searching the sedan".
After this ceremony is over, the bride will sit on the sedan chair.
As soon as the second door opened, other people brought by Yang Fan were waiting here. Yang Fan himself held the welcome book in his hands and walked towards Tu Shanyue's show building with his personal maid, Sister Xiang Yi.
The welcome book is the book to welcome the bride, which must be handed over to the bride with her own hands. Xiao Niangpi held the welcome book in her hands and sat in the sedan chair.
Coming under the show building, this is the last level.
The woman's relatives and friends gathered downstairs to wait. No one can help at this level, Yang Fan must do it himself.
Poetry is not what Yang Fan is good at, nor is Yang Fan good at playing the piano.
In the past six months, Yang Fan had learned violin in his spare time, and Yang Fan decided to play a piece of music for the woman's relatives and friends.
This can also be regarded as a manifestation of talent.
Yang Fan took the violin from Xiang Yi and started playing.
Yang Fanla's song is "Missing the Moon A Thousand Miles Away", which is a very nice song, and the little girl's name is Tu Shanyue, which fits the scene perfectly.
Everyone saw Yang Fan taking out a strange instrument from the exquisite piano case that Xiang Yi was holding. No one had ever seen it before, but its shape was very beautiful. The black paint on the surface of the instrument could almost make out the silhouette of a person. It's worth a lot of money.
When they remembered the melodious sound of the piano, everyone was mesmerized by it. The sound of the piano was full, expressive, and highly contagious. The beautiful music suddenly aroused their emotions.
A song that expresses my longing for the bright moon thousands of miles away, with its unique, emotional and soft violin solo, brings everyone into a picturesque, relaxing and wonderful realm!
The seemingly bland melody flows from the fingers, but it is filled with longing and lingering.
Let the bright moon send my love this evening.
When the music played, Tu Shanyue suddenly burst into tears. Yang Lang's friendship for her was fully revealed in the beautiful sound of the piano. True love can never be expressed in words.
Because it is labor, not love, that creates language.
As soon as the song ends, the lingering sound lingers around.
"Okay!" There was a roar of applause from all around.
Everyone's cheeks were red with excitement.
Tu Shanyong turned his head and secretly wiped away his tears.
The sound of firecrackers sounded again, and four beautifully dressed maids helped Tu Shanyue down the show floor.
Yang Fan personally handed the welcome letter into Tu Shanyue's hand. The newlyweds returned to the front yard surrounded by everyone, and Tu Shanyue got into the sedan chair.
"Get up the sedan" Zhang Geda shouted loudly.
Yang Fan and others mounted their horses one after another and took the bride back to the Yang Mansion.
After his daughter left, Tu Shanyong felt a little sad. The daughter he had raised for eighteen years was now the housewife of the Yang family.
Mrs. Tushan said angrily: "Master, today is a happy day, why are you crying? How bad it is."
"Madam is right, today is a happy day, be happy, come and let the banquet begin immediately."
According to the rules, on the day of marrying a girl, her family will have a banquet at noon, commonly known as "opening wine", also called "wedding wine".
My mother-in-law’s family wants to have wine at Tushan’s house.
