Marriage and inheritance were first recorded in the "Zhou Rites". So far, most of the rules of the Tang Dynasty are based on the "Zhou Rites", except for changes in relevant regulations such as the age for marriage.
Marriage consists of a woman and a dusk, which in ancient times meant marrying a woman at dusk.
Therefore, getting married in the Tang Dynasty also took place after dusk, but some things are always changing. For example, if the woman and the man are far away, they must leave early.
Today is the wedding day of His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, which is not a trivial matter for the entire city of Chang'an. I don't know since when, on both sides of the main official road outside Chang'an City, and on both sides of the road to Qin Wangzhuang, there are There are two more pots of flowers.
These pots are clay pots that are simply fired from mud pots. They have no technical content and are not very difficult anyway.
What are placed in the pots are flowers picked from the wild. These flowers are very common and can be seen everywhere.
But no one knows who opened it first, or who spread the news.
Pots of flowers gradually began to pile up on both sides of the road. By the time Li Ke got married, the flowers in these clay pots had stretched the city of Chang'an from the residence of Li Zhen'e in the Li clan of Zhao County to the King of Qin. The entrance of the village.
No one destroyed it, but all the flowers were neatly arranged. The Tang Dynasty loved peonies. Although it has only just begun to become popular, there are still all kinds of peonies on both sides of the road.
Other flowers of various colors are also dotted here, turning both sides of the road into a sea of flowers, and among these flowers there are many blessings written by people.
Colorful flowers filled both sides of the road with incomparable fragrance. This scene may seem ordinary, but because it was spontaneously composed by millions of people around Chang'an, it is even more shocking.
When Li Ke set off to Li Mansion to pick up Li Yan, he was a little moved. Some things made sense. No matter what you did, if you made the people live a good life, the people would always remember it.
Although they are all ordinary, and although they all know that it is impossible for them to participate in the wedding of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, they used their most ordinary and ordinary moments to make them the protagonists of today's wedding.
This road paved with flowers not only gathers flowers, but also a personal heart. Everyone who saw this scene was moved. I wonder how many literati and poets today will leave poems about this incident.
When Li Ke rushed to Li's mansion on colorful flowers, the place was already ready.
Li Yan was in a daze. She recalled the day when she first met Third Brother. At that time, she only regarded him as Third Brother, but she didn't know when Third Brother came into her heart. .
Maybe it's because of Third Brother's amazing talent, or maybe it's because of his normal heart that treats everyone equally? Or is it because of his strong will that never seems to see any difficulties?
But no matter what it is, today she will become his wife, and from now on she will change her title: Princess Qin.
Li Yan doesn't know if she is ready to take on this title, but she will work hard.
With Li Xin's help, she put on a brand new, unprecedentedly gorgeous dress that he prepared for her.
The dress is mainly red and decorated with various flower patterns. It is different from other wedding dresses that Li Yan has seen that are mainly green.
When Li Ke entered the Li Mansion, with the arrival of the last auspicious moment, he began to enter the "make-up poem" session, and the people inside the Li Mansion immediately started laughing.
"Your Highness, do you want to write this makeup poem in person? I have long heard that Your Highness has unparalleled literary talent. One of your poems can be spread all over the Tang Dynasty! Your Highness, won't you write one today?"
Poems to urge the bride to go out are also considered to be a custom that began to emerge in the Tang Dynasty. It first originated in the Northern Dynasties and was the custom of the groom and his bride-to-be urging the bride to go out.
Even more than a thousand years later, although this custom has changed several times, there is still a similar process. For example, when urging the bride to go out, someone from the groom's side will start to set off cannons to urge the bride out. This can be regarded as a disguised makeup urging.
Although we don’t take it seriously, there are some details and customs that have actually been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years!
Li Yan in the room was also waiting expectantly for the third brother's poem urging her to make up.
Most of the makeup-inducing poems are humorous and easy to understand. Of course, this is described as elegant. An unelegant description is that some of the makeup-inducing poems are suspected of driving.
Li Ke paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "I don't need to make a song, just one sentence."
Everyone is curious. In fact, the makeup poem is just a form. The bride's makeup has been painted long ago. How can it be too late to urge her at this time?
This is just because the bride wants to see the groom's literary talents, but generally speaking, the groom himself does very little, and many makeup-inducing poems are relatively explicit, just to make the bride shy and go out quickly.
"There is no colorful phoenix flying in the body, but there is a clear understanding in the heart." Li Ke "composed" a poem with a smile.
As soon as Li Ke's poem came out, everyone around him, including the bride and groom, were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes lit up. This poem is so good!
It's just a poem, but it touches on the subtle feelings between men and women.
Li Yan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she had a clear understanding. So it turns out that the third brother also thinks of me the same way?
Li Yan immediately stood up from where she was sitting.
As soon as Li Yan moved, her mother-in-law's family would naturally know that this level was passed.
When Li Yan came out of his room, their eyes met in the air. Li Ke had an indescribable and wonderful feeling. This was the first time in his two lives that he got married. He had watched other people get married many times, but he was not getting married. This is the first time.
I am indeed tired, but I have a different feeling.
Although Li Yan's cheeks were a little blushing, she boldly looked at Li Ke.
There is no such thing as hijab in the Tang Dynasty. Li Yan would carry a round fan with her to cover her face, so both parties could naturally see her.
After taking Li Yan on a brand new carriage, Li Ke and the others will return to Qinwangzhuang. After leaving Li's Mansion, they will encounter a traffic jam on the road, and they will stop the car and ask for red envelopes, which is very similar to later generations.
But this one is all participated by relatives and friends of both parties, which is not easy. If you meet someone with a higher status, you have to come down and drink if they ask you to drink.
Historically, when princesses of the Tang Dynasty got married, many princes stopped them halfway and had to drink before letting them go.
It was just that when they came out of Li Mansion, the road was relatively calm, but behind the flowers on both sides of the road, there were countless people cheering and blessing them.
These people all came spontaneously, and obviously they also wanted to see His Highness today.
