At this moment, the band's music changed again, to a lively and joyful "welcoming".
Looking back, I saw her dressed in a bright red wedding gown, covered in red, and unable to see anything. She could only be held by her sister-in-law's hand and followed her step by step
The style of the wedding dress is Xia Pi, also known as Zhai Guan Xia Gao. The gold Zhai Zhu Zhai on the Zhai Guan is often made into a phoenix shape, also known as Feng Guan Xia Gao. It was originally a court dress for imperial consorts and was used by courtiers to meet the empress dowager.
When women from all over the world get married, they are allowed to use it... often it is their only chance to wear it in their lifetime.
At this moment, as we approached, the soft and drooping curves fitted the curves of women, and there was a majestic and noble phoenix shaped high crown, which was very beautiful and generous.
Cousin, "Ye Qing lowered her voice and joked," Did you cry
Cao Baijing's lotus steps paused slightly, and she let out a soft snort under her thin veil. Her face was unclear and she was probably full of shame and annoyance, but she didn't say anything. Only a gust of evening wind blew, brushing her wedding dress. The pearl on her phoenix crown shone brilliantly under the summer evening sunset, shining like a flower.
She was helped up by her sister-in-law into the carriage for the bride to ride in, and a faint glance passed through the thick curtains, silently looking in, not knowing if the tears had dried up.
In the future, this will be my wife, "Ye Qing sighed silently, dispelling any interest calculations and feeling soft in her heart
In the past life, I struggled, lost Jiang Zinan, lost Qian Qian, but I was lucky to live with her at the last moment. Although I cultivated the tacit understanding in the battle, or had a little heart attack, I also blurred my impression. Everyone survived the disaster. How could I talk about feelings?
At that time, a puddle was about to dry up, and two small fish comforted and supported each other, which could be considered a kind of fate... "Ye Qing rode her horse, and the carrier followed closely, carrying thirty-six boxes tied with red silk, which was the dowry brought by Cao Baijing to the Ye family.
According to tradition, there are twelve boxes more than Ye Qing's betrothal gifts, which is the price of gender inequality. No wonder the "Record of World Affairs" says, "When men are born, they are happy, and when women are born, they are sad.
Even citizens without money have to force themselves to prepare one or two pieces of colorful satin, one or two official silver coins, and some tea cakes and goose wine, afraid that their daughters will be looked down upon by their mothers in law when they get married.
Along the way, blowing and beating back, and then watching, some people discussed the number of boxes and cages, guessing the etiquette. The extravagance of the world has deeply penetrated people's hearts and cannot be avoided.
Some people followed the convoy, mostly young people, competing to see the bride getting off the car.
Returning to Yejiazhuang, the sky was already getting dark, and torches were lit everywhere at the entrance of the estate, shining brightly. The bride was helped out of the car, and a Taoist priest invited by the county Taoist priest was throwing a flower bucket filled with grains, beans, money, and colorful fruits at the doorstep. The children were competing to pick them up, which was to ward off evil spirits and facilitate the newlyweds' entry.
After getting off the car, Cao Baijing was supported by two women and walked on green cloth strips.
Although I couldn't see the appearance under the red veil, my body was slender, with a graceful and elegant appearance, which was quite in line with traditional aesthetic standards. It immediately drew cheers from everyone: "What a bride
Good breeding, Yishi IKEA
The second ranked Duke married a good lady
At the man's house, the bride became the leading role. Ye Qing consciously became a supporting role, followed her with a smile, and from time to time bowed to the surrounding villagers who sincerely congratulated her: "Thank you all the neighbors. There will be a banquet for you later."
After expressing his intention, he left all the trouble and hospitality to Lv Shangjing and Ye Zifan, and Ye Qing caught up with the bride.
At this moment, Cao Baijing had already entered the door and entered the main room of Meiyuan. The bridal chamber was a room with a blue tent hanging in the center under the crossbeam. The female family had already laid out bedding for her to sit and rest. This was called "sitting in a green hut", which originated from an ancient human custom and is said to have existed long before the agricultural civilization.
Symbolically giving the bride a moment of rest, and also allowing the newlyweds Ye Qing and Cao Baijing to weave red and green into a two-color flower in the middle, named "Tongxin Knot".
Cao Baijing tightly grasped one side of Tongxin Jie under the cover, while Ye Qing hung another side of Tongxin Jie in her hand and slowly led her up to the hall.
It was already dark, and the main hall was lit with candles and joy. Ye's family and elders were all present. Even the most critical Ye Mengqiu nodded slightly at this time, and smiled at the guest Supervisor of the County Lu Ming: "It's my granddaughter."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming nodded with a smile and said, "She is a virtuous and virtuous woman
L ù M í ng, as the head of the ceremony, went down to the side of the newlyweds and began singing. This is the true song: "Reunion tonight, the colors are precious and bright, and we have formed a united heart with a green belt hanging down. From now on, don't let dust touch us, he will shine with the cold energy of the year as he grows older
A perfect man with a low voice and a lingering taste of time, Ye Qing couldn't help but praise him. He was a successful candidate in the imperial examination and didn't learn much else, while Lu Ming, who came from the same background as everyone else, was truly a gentleman with all seven skills. It was said that he could even dance very well, but few people had seen him before.
After singing, we arrived at the front of the hall. The worship hall was only for men and women to worship each other, and then led by Ye Qing, taking Cao Baijing to pay respects to the ancestors and relatives of the Ye family.
After the ceremony, Cao Baijing held the "Tongxin Knot" and led Ye Qing back to Qinglu, which is a gesture of equal respect and etiquette, and also has the meaning of letting the bride tie the groom's heart.
The two leaders scattered some happy fruits into the tent to express their blessings.
Amidst the sound of joy, Ye Qing sat on the left side and Cao Baijing sat on the right side, each cutting a strand of hair and tying it together. This is known as a married couple, symbolizing the unity of the sexes, life and death, sharing weal and woe, and growing old together.
After tying their hair, they drink Jiaozuo wine, which involves drying a gourd (a bitter gourd) and splitting it in half. The wine they hold has a bitter taste, and Ye Qing and Cao Baijing each drink half of it together. In this way, drinking together with one gourd means that the couple are united and share the same joys and sorrows.
Complete this, return to the front of the hall, thank relatives and friends again, and after Lu Ming's announcement, proceed with the ceremony.
The world doesn't need the groom to continue his wine tour one by one. The Supervisor of the County of the hall lowered his voice and smiled, "Here is the bridal chamber. The top ranked male likes to live... ha ha!"
A group of male and female relatives and friends pushed Ye Qing and Cao Baijing into the Qinglu, lit up the big red candles, put down the big red veil, and since they had no habit of causing trouble in the bridal chamber, they all left this new room.
The door was sealed with a red wedding sticker, indicating that neither the groom nor the bride could escape. The sound of footsteps drifting away was accompanied by various miscellaneous discussions.
The noise disappeared, and once the new house quieted down, the sound of the two people breathing quietly could be heard.
"This is the bridal chamber." On the small round table outside the tent, there are several painted gold wood plates, tea and Dim sum, on which there is a steelyard.
Ye Qing knew about this custom, so she took it over and came back to cover the green tent. She used a scale to lift open the big red veil, revealing Cao Baijing's blushing face. At this moment, she tried to force herself to face Ye Qing's fierce gaze, and her breathing became urgent. Her jade hands instinctively twisted the hem of her wedding dress, and as she was about to say something, her stomach began to growl.
With a suppressed smile, Ye Qing brought over a plate of pastries and asked, "Cousin, would you like something to eat
Cao Baijing really wanted to say no, but she was not as leisurely as Ye Qing. When she was a bride, she dressed up in various ways and was pulled by her sister-in-law to talk. Since early on, she has hardly eaten anything
Does the mother's family seem to intentionally save two meals, eager to throw themselves as a new bride to her in laws, or starve themselves out so that Ye Qing can do whatever she wants?
Cao Baijing felt wronged and didn't care about the ladies. She nodded and said, "I want to eat
Ye Qing smiled and understood why. It was awkward to say that if the bride ate too much and wanted to go to the bathroom halfway through the wedding, what should she do?
This is very unpleasant to the scenery, so we control the use of food and water.
But at this point, it naturally doesn't matter anymore. As he approached with a pastry under his head, he picked up a piece and said, "Here, I'll feed you
A group of black clothed people approached and looked out at Ye Family Village at night, only to see a row of lights in the distance. As they approached, they heard a faint sound of drinking and celebration, and only then did they want to enter. Suddenly, a group of people wearing bamboo hats emerged.
Without saying a word, the group of black clothed men pounced forward with a cold snort. Zhou Feng did not retreat but instead greeted them. Just a flash of his sword caused one black clothed man to scream in agony and fall out.
A leader tiger pounced, and with a flash of sword light, it passed by in a staggered manner. Zhou Feng did not chase after it, but instead killed the one in front. The black clad leader who had passed through splattered blood and fell to the ground, with thick blood flowing out.
Zhou Feng remained expressionless as he repeatedly attacked without a single move. In just a few minutes, seven or eight black clothed men fell to the ground. The last one saw the situation was not good and wanted to escape. Zhou Feng kicked him and a long knife that fell to the ground pierced through his thigh.
The black clothed man let out a long, mournful moan, which startled Zhou Feng. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was music inside, but no one was startled.
Although the black clothed man was in pain, he did not forget to plead for mercy upon seeing this: "Please show mercy under the knife... please show mercy under the knife
Zhou Feng looked down at the other party and asked stiffly, "Are you from Northern Wei or a subordinate of the Shanzhai
Gasping for breath, the black clothed man trembled and said, "You see... I am just a small character in the mountain stronghold, sent by the leader to investigate the situation. I am unwilling and unable to do so... Please forgive me
Zhou Feng said coldly, "Who else is there now
The black clothed man held his breath and said, "The leader of the third village has brought someone and is waiting nearby. Let's go scout first
Zhou Feng's eyes lit up and he said in a low voice, "Where is the person
The man in black neighed and said, "Originally it was the Zhang family store, but I'm definitely not here now. I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't know what's going on. Please let me go
Zhou Feng remained silent for a moment, then his long knife flashed and penetrated deeply into the chest of the black clothed man, before pulling it out again.
Ah! "The black clothed man's heart was pierced, blood plasma filled his throat, and sprayed outwards from his nostrils and mouth, causing his whole body to convulse and he to lose his breath on the spot.
Zhou Shenzhuo walked out slowly and glanced at the corpses scattered everywhere. His muscles twitched and he said, "Your martial arts have improved quickly, and you have become much more ruthless
The young master has instructed us not to keep our mouths open. Everyone who came has been thoroughly investigated, "Zhou Feng said calmly.
Zhou Shenzhuo glanced at Zhou Feng in surprise, fell silent for a moment, and then stared at him again, "You are from the Gongmen
... "
Why don't you answer
Godfather
Huh? "Zhou Shenzhuo stared at his adopted son.
I... since my godfather sent me here and the young master was ranked second in the imperial examination, he is no longer considered a member of the imperial family! "Zhou Feng said with some difficulty.
I heard that. Zhou Shenzhuo remained silent. Upon closer inspection of Zhou Feng, he seemed to be the same naive and silly person he was a few years ago. However, everything had changed. He remained silent for a long time before speaking softly, "You're right. If you're still a member of the public sector and don't please both sides, you might end up with no outcome in the end
At this point, he paused and turned away, disappearing into the vast night.
