"Have you buried it?!" Late at night, amid a strange ripple, several men in black were burying items in a square. As for what they were, only they knew.
"It's already buried. If the ground is leveled, nothing should be visible."
"Okay! Pay attention to the thickness of the soil!"
"Um!"
"Strange, why does the Lord assign these tasks? And also gives us this mysterious [Mirage Bead] to use!"
"My lord has his own opinion, let's just implement it! Move quickly, there are still many places left!"
"promise!"
…
Early in the morning, march to the General's Mansion in the east.
The noisy bustle broke the morning light of the General's Mansion early. Many servants were constantly moving around, adding a festive look to the general's mansion.
The day after tomorrow is the day when General Zhengdong will marry Cai Yan, Marquis of Weichuan!
The Han-style wedding is based on Zhou rites, with elegance, nobility, and solemnity as its charm. It goes back to its roots and is a national wedding that embodies the classic Chinese cultural tradition.
Han-style weddings are different from Western-style weddings, and they are also different from the so-called Chinese weddings that are generally based on the styles of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
Chinese-style wedding is a contemporary, emerging and fashionable wedding form with classicism as its main feature. Han-style weddings are different from Western-style weddings, and they are also different from the so-called Chinese weddings that are generally based on the styles of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
In the tradition of the Chinese nation, Han-style weddings are regarded as the foundation of etiquette and music civilization, as the starting point of human relations and social order, and as the origin of the harmony of yin and yang between man and nature and the transformation of all things. Only this kind of wedding can match the steadfast and deep emotions between the newlyweds, as well as our own national identity and cultural traditions.
A Han-style wedding is a traditional wedding of the Han people. During the wedding, you should wear Hanfu with the correct shape. However, the corresponding clothing colors and styles can be selected according to the styles of different periods. . For example, in the Han and Zhou dynasties, black and red were advocated, so for a Han-style wedding, you can choose red and black trains or clothes; for a Tang-style Han-style wedding, you can choose a combination of red men and green women; for Ming-style weddings, you usually choose Ming Dynasty official clothes, and most brides are Fengguanxiapei.
"General. The process of the wedding is as follows:
★Pre-wedding ceremony
1. Accept. The man proposes to the woman and gives him a wild goose as a gift. "Etiquette·Shihunli": "Hunli is a gift." Use wild geese. '
2. Ask for name. After accepting the offer, he asked for the woman's name so that she could divine whether she would get married and whether she would be good or bad. "Etiquette·Shihunli": "The guest holds the wild goose, please ask for his name; the master agrees, and the guest enters the ceremony." '
3. Najib. After asking for his name, the man 'returned to the temple for divination, and after getting a good omen, he sent an envoy to tell him' ("Yili·Shihunli"). After the man asks for his name, he will divine the birth dates of both men. If there is a good omen, he will send an envoy with geese to the woman's house to announce the good news.
4. Accept levy. The man sends an envoy to the woman's family to get engaged. "Etiquette Shihunli": "Zheng means success, and the messenger pays coins to complete the wedding." After accepting the tax, the marriage enters the formal preparation stage.
5. Please wait. The man chooses an auspicious date for the wedding and formally agrees with the woman to give the goose as a gift. "Etiquette Shihunli": "To ask for a date, use wild geese." '
★Main wedding
1. Welcome in person. The new husband goes to marry the bride in person.
2. Together with the prison. "Tonglao" refers to the new husband and wife eating the meat from the same cauldron together. "He Ni" refers to the newlyweds, each holding a He Ni cup, drinking from each other. "Book of Rites: Hunyi": "When the wife arrives, the son-in-law bows to her and lets her in. They are locked together and eat, and they are together for a while. Therefore, they are united, have the same dignity and inferiority, and are close to each other."
3. Untie hair knots. "Jie Ying" means that the new husband personally removes the wedding tassel from the bride's head. "Hair binding" refers to cutting a bunch of hair of the new husband and wife and combing it together with red tassels.
★Post-wedding ceremony (marriage ceremony)
1. A woman meets her uncle. The wife calls her father-in-law "uncle" and her mother-in-law "aunt". On the morning of the next day after the wedding, the bride gets up early, takes a bath, and waits outside the door of her parents-in-law's bedroom with a bamboo vessel filled with dates, chestnuts and glutinous rice. "Zao" means to get up early, "Li" means to tremble, and "酶xiu" means to cheer up.
2. The wife feeds her uncle and aunt. The bride personally serves her parents-in-law to eat, and after the two elders have finished eating, the wife should symbolically eat the leftover food of her parents-in-law to show her respect and filial piety.
3. Uncle and aunt's sweetheart. The parents-in-law feed the bride and rinse her mouth, and reward the bride with a "gift" to show the care of the elders.
4. Meet the married woman in the temple. Three months after the marriage, the husband's family will choose a day to take the bride to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices to her ancestors, to show that the woman will officially become a member of her husband's family. "
A matchmaker said to Lin Mu seriously. Lin Mu felt dizzy after hearing this.
This matchmaker was not found from outside, but was an official of etiquette in the palace. After all, Han Emperor Liu Hong was considered a matchmaker!
The Han Dynasty paid great attention to etiquette. To marry a daughter-in-law, you had to pay three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts.
Perhaps considering the situation in General Lin Mu's mansion, Liu Hong asked the matchmaker to bring five hundred ceremonial maids to support Lin Mu.
You know, these five hundred ceremonial maids are the kind who have just been trained. None of them have officially become palace maids yet!
In the words of players, they are reserve maids!
It is often said that there are as many beauties as you can reward, usually these are reserve girls who have just been trained.
Liu Hong is very stingy with money and materials, but he is very generous in these aspects.
After that, the matchmaking official continued to explain some detailed procedures, such as where to worship and where to go. There were actually regulations.
Han weddings are elegant, noble, and solemn, but the etiquette is also very complicated, and ordinary players simply cannot accept such etiquette.
Of course, if they could marry Cai Wenji, they would do it even if it was ten times more complicated.
"General, you can perform the pre-wedding ceremony today." After talking a lot, the matchmaking official began to give instructions.
As for the matchmaking official, Lin Mu would do as she was told, and she would do whatever she said. Even Xun Shuang, who had just moved into the mansion, obeyed his words.
"The basic preparations have been completed, but the last gift has not yet been completed."
"Oh...haven't the last official betrothal gift been handed over yet?" the matchmaker official said unexpectedly.
"Yes! You can pay the last betrothal gift today." Xun Shuang glanced at Lin Mudao.
The so-called betrothal gifts are the two original ancient books that many literati covet!
Zhang Hong and Guo Jia collaborated on that ancient book, spent a lot of time studying it, spent a lot of materials, and finally copied it all! Currently stored in the Great Wilderness Territory.
You must know that the text on the scales originally given to Cai Yong was not all of it. It was the seal carved by Guo Jia.
Every time the seal is completely carved, whether it is bamboo slips, animal skins, or jade, it is automatically turned into powder, which is very magical!
Later, Zhang Hong and the others finally got it done by using Feng Lingyu as a carrier.
After that, he was originally brought into Luoyang by Lin Mu.
It must have had strange effects. Lin Mu originally wanted to give it to Cai Yong, hoping that Cai Yong would leave Luoyang and enter the Great Wilderness territory in the future. But he didn't expect that some old scholars would be lured out, and because of Shi Xie and the others, the following situation would occur.
Unfortunately, these two original ancient books must stay in Luoyang.
On the other hand, because of Lin Mu's contribution, all the scholars in Luoyang were very happy to facilitate the marriage, and no one jumped out to cause trouble.
Even if there is, I don't dare to do it blatantly.
Huang Zhong saw that the whole of Luoyang became festive. In addition to Lin Mu spending a lot of money on the decorations, there were also many nobles who contributed to the cause.
Just like that, the wedding between Lin Mu and Cai Yan swept the entire Han Dynasty!
"Han Sheng, you can take the honor guard to collect the betrothal gift later!" Lin Mu turned to Huang Zhong and told Huang Zhong behind him.
"No!" Huang Zhong said solemnly without saying much.
Generally speaking, no one will disrupt the payment of betrothal gifts. But these two ancient books are different. In Luoyang City, there are countless scholars from all over the world, and maybe some of them are crazy enough to rob someone on the way. If someone robs it, not only will the loss be huge, but also the face will be lost!
Therefore, Lin Mu asked Huang Zhong, who had gained many opportunities recently, to escort him.
At this moment, Huang Zhong is armored and majestic! ! Lin Mu still gave Huang Zhong the Xingxiu suit!
"General, on the day of the wedding, although there will be a teleportation array, there may be literati getting married in some places that must be passed through. You need to be prepared." The matchmaking official reminded.
"Haha, not only the literati, but also the martial arts!" Lin Mu said meaningfully.
For these, Lin Mu had already prepared after Xun Shuang and Cai Yong's explanation.
Lin Mu even put on some 'small shows'!
After that, a few people discussed some matters and started to get busy. There is no need for Lin Mu to go in person to accept the betrothal gift.
Xun Shuang took Lin Mu to the door of the mansion to greet guests, and guests kept coming to bring gifts. Most of these guests are officials from Longting, even those from the Yuan family, and they all come with gifts.
Although they are secretly enemies, those guys pay more attention to these etiquettes and are less likely to be absent.
Of course, many people such as the Jingzhou gentry, Yanzhou gentry, and Yuzhou gentry also sent envoys to deliver congratulatory gifts.
Lin Mu even got cramps when accepting gifts at the gate! It's really cramping, my face! He kept laughing and could not get cramps! !
Lin Mu followed Xun Shuang and met many high officials and noble families, such as the Bai family, Zhou family, Wang family, Yang family, Kong family, etc., which opened Lin Mu's eyes. This big wedding made Lin Mu look bad in front of everyone in the world!
On the wedding day, Lin Mu wore an elegant and majestic Han robe, looking very elegant.
