Jiang Wan had already agreed to be the matchmaker, otherwise Huang Yueying would not have called her to the door.
So Feng Yong came here to ask Jiang Wan some questions about the wedding.
In ancient weddings, there were six rites including nacai, asking for names, naji, nazheng, asking for dates, and personally welcoming. But Feng never understood it!
"Those who are oblivious to rituals will combine the good of the two surnames, with the superior serving the ancestral temple and the inferior carrying on the work of future generations, so gentlemen value it."
Jiang Wan said to Feng Yong, "Feng Junhou wants to marry the Guan family's wife from the Qin and Jin Dynasties because he wants to behave like a gentleman."
"A gentleman's courtesy?"
When Feng Yong heard this, he felt that Jiang Wan's speech was really nice, so he nodded quickly, "Yes, yes. I am a gentleman..."
Jiang Wan:......
"Jiang Canjun, please continue."
Feng Yong didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said.
Where did I just say it?
Jiang Wan felt a little unable to turn around, and after thinking for a long time, he said in a stuttering voice, "The etiquette of a gentleman... the six etiquettes of ancient times, it takes at least three months to prepare, and at most half a year, one year, or even three years." It’s all uncertain.”
"What? Isn't this too long?"
Feng Yong exclaimed.
Jiang Wan's mouth twitched.
"Oh, I just have to rush to Yuejun to take office, so I think three months..."
Feng Yong saw something wrong with Jiang Wan's expression and quickly explained.
"That's an ancient method!"
Even though he was a good-tempered Jiang Wan, he couldn't restrain himself, "After the great chaos in the late Qin Dynasty, etiquette had collapsed. In the former Han Dynasty, Liu Xin was ordered by the emperor to remake wedding ceremonies, but mostly followed the Zhou rites with only slight changes. "
"It's a pity that Wang Mang's disaster happened again soon. At that time, most people in the world abandoned tradition and adopted simplicity. The common people even just performed the ritual of worship, and they were considered married."
Feng Yong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's okay."
After Jiang Wan heard this, veins popped up slightly on his forehead, "Those are common people! Your two families are both princes, how can you be so rude?"
What is rudeness?
Feng Yong was about to open his mouth, and then he saw Jiang Wan staring at him viciously, so he had to laugh dryly, "Jiang Shenjun, you continue."
"Etiquette and law are nothing more than human feelings. Since weddings are for the ancestral temple and passed down to future generations, they can naturally follow the ancestral temple and follow the authority. Now since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world is in chaos. How similar is it to the troubled times during Wang Mang's disaster?"
"The Han Dynasty is in danger. You are an important official of the Han Dynasty, and it is time to contribute to the country. Although you cannot follow the common people and only perform the rituals of worship, you can still be simpler in some places."
After Jiang Wan finished speaking, he glanced at Feng Yong.
Feng Yong shut up and just looked at Jiang Wan.
The two stared at each other for a while, and Feng Yong couldn't help but said, "Can I speak?"
"explain."
Jiang Wan almost lost his breath.
This boy talks a lot when he is not allowed to speak. How can he behave like this when he asks you to speak?
"I wonder how Jiang Shenjun thinks we should be simpler?"
Feng Yong thought that the simpler the matter, the better. Just like in later generations, they took ninety-nine yuan and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to become husband and wife.
I don’t know if Jiang Wan knew what Feng Yong was thinking, so he immediately said, "The meaning of simplicity is not that the six rites are simplified, but that the time for getting married can be shortened."
"How short?"
"One month. Although time is tight, you can still complete the six rites, but are you ready with the things you need to prepare?"
"What should I prepare?"
Feng Yong humbly asked for advice.
"The most important thing is naturally the geese."
Seeing Feng Yong's humility, Jiang Wan nodded with satisfaction, "Among the six rites, excluding Nazheng, the remaining five rites all require live geese, so you have to prepare a few more geese."
"Dayan?" Feng Yong was startled, thinking that everything else was easy to talk about. As long as it was a problem that could be solved with money, it wouldn't be a problem.
But this kind of migrating living creature is a bit troublesome.
"Now that the weather is getting warmer and the wild geese are flying south, if you pay more attention, you should be able to find them."
Jiang Wan reminded, "The wild goose follows the flow of yin and yang, and is a trustworthy thing. Therefore, using the wild goose as a trustworthy person is a way to understand the relationship between husband and wife. To take the meaning of loyalty and trustworthiness, we must not be careless."
"Okay, I understand."
Feng Yong nodded.
Jiang Wan glanced at Feng Yong again, but hesitated to speak.
"Does Jiang Shenjun have any other instructions?"
Jiang Wan coughed and said, "Feng Langjun, after these six rituals, we are considered husband and wife. I don't need to talk about this matter between husband and wife, right?"
What else can happen between husband and wife? Isn’t that the only thing? What do you want to say?
Feng Yong didn't react for a moment.
"Doesn't Feng Langjun have a concubine?"
Jiang Wan's eyes were a little wandering.
what you up to? !
Feng Yong remembered that Jiang Wan had praised Amei so much when he was in Nanxiang, and alarm bells rang in his heart.
"Since Feng Langjun has a concubine, I think I should know something about the affairs in the house. I also have a booklet here. Feng Langjun can take it back and read it. It may be helpful to the couple's affairs."
As he said that, Jiang Wan took out a silk book from his sleeve and handed it to Feng Yong, with a look of pain on his face, "After Feng Langjun finished reading, remember to return it. This book is precious."
"What's this?"
Feng Yong took it, wondering what secrets it contained?
"Don't be busy, we'll see when we get back..."
When Jiang Wan saw Feng Yong taking it and opening it, he quickly stopped him.
It's just that although his hands are quick, how can he be as quick as Feng Yong's eyes?
Even though I only opened a corner of the page, I could still get a glimpse of the content inside.
this is not……
The legendary Thirty-Six Forms of Dong Xuanzi?
Jiang Wan's face was slightly hot, and he coughed, "Normally, these matters are taught by the elders in the family before marriage, but the prince's parents are both dead, so since I agreed to be the matchmaker, I did it easily. "
Seeing Feng Yong's dazed expression, he thought he was shy, so he immediately explained, "Since you want to start a family, you should understand that it is normal for this couple to be in love."
"When a couple first started, they naturally felt it was new. However, after living together for a long time, they felt a little boring. Therefore, the sages passed down their experience and it is a treasure for harmonious harmony between husband and wife."
Who said the ancients were feudal? Isn’t this very open?
Feng Yong glanced at Jiang Wan, who was trying to be serious about imparting experience, and opened the booklet again.
Hey, it's just a black and white painting, and the characters are not proportional. How good is it?
However, the posture above is quite interesting. There are everything on the floor in the room, on the stone in the courtyard, front, back and side.
There are even many pictures of maids waiting on them.
It seems that the ancients also knew how to play.
Thinking of this, Feng Yong suddenly remembered something. He looked up at Jiang Wan and asked, "Jiang Canjun, what you just said is that before marriage, elders in the family will teach you about such things?"
"It's natural."
Hearing this, Feng Yong suddenly showed a somewhat lewd smile.
I wonder what Huang Yueying will teach Guan Ji? If this is also the case...
Then wouldn't it mean that "when three of us go together, I will be happy?"
