Now, as she holds the position of a concubine, she is not even entitled to participate in this form of wedding.
It's really ridiculous.
Not long after, the wedding team arrived at the Duke's Mansion. There were so many guests at the Duke's Mansion today, and almost all officials and their families from Kyoto came to join in the fun.
There has been no happy event in this mansion for many years.
After the sedan was put down, Su Wan picked up a fan to cover her face with anxiety. Only her eyes were exposed, which was stunning enough.
The sedan door was opened and Jiang Yu was outside. The matchmaker asked him to kick the sedan door, but he didn't kick it and directly opened the curtain and reached in.
The custom of kicking the sedan door has been around since ancient times. It means that men should not be afraid of others and women should not show weakness.
In Jiang Yu's opinion, this is a bad habit. It's not a shameful thing for a man to be henpecked, so why bother?
He was willing to be suppressed by Su Wan and listen to her all his life.
Su Wan put her hand on his palm and asked him to lead her out.
The red carpet extended from the sedan chair to the center of the house.
When everyone saw the bride coming down, they all shouted, "The bride is so beautiful" and other things, and they applauded constantly.
After entering the door and stepping over the brazier, Liuying helped her hold up the hem of her skirt to prevent it from being burned by the charcoal fire.
Jiang Yu supported her and told her to be careful. This careful scene was seen as doting and considerate in the eyes of the guests.
After stepping over the brazier, we walked all the way inside. The guests stood on both sides, staring at the bride.
This pair today is really eye-catching. Princess Xuanle, Fengguan Xiapei, is truly stunning in the world.
The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, a perfect match made in heaven and earth!
On both sides, there were many maids holding colorful flower petals, and they followed them as they walked.
This move was learned from Su Wanxian. Su Wan glanced at him, and he happened to be looking at her as well. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
The more Jiang Yu looked at her, the more his heart moved, very violently.
In the golden autumn of September, the sky is clear and cloudless, and magpies fly in groups overhead, which means good news is coming.
A series of proverbs were said all the way, including words with good fortune, peace, harmony, and good meanings.
Finally, she walked to the main hall and approached the door. I didn't know what was sprinkled under her feet. It scattered all over the floor with a crisp sound. She only heard the emcee shouting, "The house is full of children and grandchildren, and the moon is full of flowers."
Stepping into the main hall, the two of them worshiped directly.
Sitting on the main seat were Jiang Guogong and his grandfather. The two gentlemen had kind smiles on their faces today.
Especially my grandfather, when he saw the newlyweds coming hand in hand, he smiled and frowned.
Duke Jiang Guo was very pleased. Looking at the bustling mansion and his high-spirited son, he seemed to have never seen him so happy as he was today. The smiles on his face continued to reach his eyes.
He looked at Su Wan with eyes that were so affectionate that he saw himself in a trance more than twenty years ago. He also saw his beloved dressed in red makeup, with a phoenix crown and a beautiful robe, and he was so beautiful that he could not look like a mortal.
It's great, he doesn't regret at all the 100,000 military power he handed over. If he can exchange for his son's happiness, he will feel less guilty in his heart.
Depending on the emcee you invite, the words you say during the worship service will be different, but they are generally the same, there is no difference.
Worship to heaven and earth, worship in the high hall, and husband and wife worship each other.
Su Wan followed the instructions of the master of ceremonies and bowed. She was a little confused during the whole process.
Until that sentence:
"The ceremony is completed and the bride is sent to the bridal chamber!"
As soon as these words were finished, Su Wan and Jiang Yu were sent into the bridal chamber together.
The groom can choose to drink Hexin wine at noon or in the evening. Su Jing's previous wedding was at night, but this time Jiang Yu chose it during the day.
After he completes these etiquettes, Su Wan will be able to take off the hairpin jewelry earlier, and people will feel much more relaxed.
One disadvantage of drinking Hexin wine during the day is that many noble ladies will make wedding arrangements. Everyone witnessed two people drinking Hexin wine, tying their skirts, and eating dumplings.
Hexin wine is made with a gourd-like vessel. The gourd is split into two halves, with a red line connected in the middle, and each of the newlyweds has one half.
It means that the harp and harp are singing in harmony, sharing joys and sorrows, living in the same quilt, and dying in the same coffin.
The two of them were sitting on the bed, with many peanuts, red dates, and longans cushioned under the quilt, which symbolized the early birth of a child.
When the Henuo wine was in hand, the mandarin ducks crossed their necks and drank together.
Hexin wine is bitter in the mouth, but sweet in the aftertaste. This is the meaning of sharing joys and sorrows in auspicious words.
The matchmaker tied the corners of their skirts together in a knot, which meant that they would always be united.
Everyone looked at the newlyweds with envy. Seeing how loving they were, many noble ladies were yearning for them. They also imagined that they could find a good husband like Prince Jiang like Princess Xuanle in the future.
Immediately afterwards, the maid brought in a bowl of dumplings for the bride to eat.
Su Wan held a porcelain spoon, looked at the matchmaker and asked confusedly:
"Do we have to eat now?"
"Yes, Princess, you can eat it now." The matchmaker said happily.
Su Wan obviously didn't know what the next step meant, but Jiang Yu knew that he had already understood these procedures in advance.
He looked at her with a smile, watching her take her first bite of dumplings.
"raw!"
Su Wan took a bite and saw that the dumplings were raw, so she stopped.
"How is that possible?" the matchmaker said, pretending to be shocked.
"It's really raw!" Su Wan said firmly.
The maids couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering, and brought a plate over to spit out the raw dumplings for Su Wan.
"Then Princess, let's try something else," the matchmaker encouraged again.
Some of the noble ladies present were still married, so they didn't understand what it meant. Others who knew it couldn't help but snicker.
Those who knew were given face and did not tell the truth, otherwise the entertainment effect would be lost.
Su Wan looked back at Jiang Yu and saw Jiang Yu nodded, letting her eat with confidence.
Sure enough, she took out another spoon and took one mouthful:
"Still raw."
She said with certainty, wondering why the cook in the back kitchen of the Duke's mansion was so unprofessional that she couldn't even cook the dumplings.
The matchmaker suddenly laughed and asked people to take the dumplings away. She then asked everyone:
"Think about it, everyone, how many new words did our bride say just now?"
At this moment, Su Wan finally understood.
"Three, the bride said three new words." Jiacheng, a conspicuous person, answered immediately.
"Then our bride will have to give birth to three babies in the future. The prince is so lucky."
After everyone understood it, they burst into laughter.
Su Wan was a little embarrassed at first, but then she started laughing too.
Isn’t this Chinese-style wedding more interesting than a Western-style wedding? There are actually traps.
However, it is absolutely impossible for her to have three children. She will have at most two children in the future, preferably both children.
Having three children will hurt your body, and you have no mental control yet, so you can't do it, you can't do it.
In just a moment, she had already thought so far ahead.
After everyone finished making trouble in the wedding room, Jiang Yu was kidnapped by Murong Huai and his five brothers.
Murong Huai was a very bad guy and wanted to get Jiang Yu drunk. Everyone knew Sima Zhao's intentions.
