Chapter 594 Marriage (1)
When it came to the wedding day, when Chen Zhao got up and looked out the window, it was already high in the sun.
It is rare to get up so late today, the reason is the calming aromatherapy sent by Mrs. Sha Jinrui, knowing that Chen Zhao will be busy all day, so he asked Xiangling to prepare it in advance so that Chen Zhao can sleep for a while,
Qingwen and Zijuan outside had been waiting for a long time. When they heard the movement inside, they picked up the curtain and came in to wait.
It was already three o'clock in the morning, and Chen Zhao asked, "Why didn't you wake me up? Is there a guest in the front yard?"
At that time, in the wedding customs, on the day when a man married a woman, close relatives and friends usually went to congratulate in the morning, and the whole family came.The friendship is average, but they just don't bring their family members, and they can come at any time.
"I heard from Mrs. Sha's family that we are going to be busy until night today, and we need to let the master sleep more, so as not to be tired during the day!" Qingwen handed her clothes and replied, "I don't know the front yard, but I heard that the inner house is A female guest has arrived, Mrs. Sha's welcomes the guest."
Sha Jinrui is an old man of Jinyiwei, and his family's power is deeply rooted in the capital. After becoming the commander of Jinyiwei, he has the title of Taihe Bo.
So Mrs. Sha's is the countess, and it makes the Chen family respectable to have her come out to receive guests.
Zijuan called the little maid outside to bring hot water, Tan Tan's water temperature was just right, and asked Chen Zhao to wash up.
These days, it is rare for female guests to come to the door alone. Since female guests arrive, there should be male guests accompanying them in the front yard.
Chen Zhao shook his head and smiled wryly. He didn't expect that he, the groom's official, would be so negligent in his duties, so he had to go there quickly.
Speaking of which, it is really unreasonable for a dignified master to sleep until this time.
After washing and washing, several little maidservants came over to eat.
As the master of the family, he has never paid much attention to what he usually eats.But today is the bridegroom's official, so naturally you have to pay more attention to it. After taking a look, there are two plates of snacks.Longan steamed stuffed buns and golden silk flower rolls; Yipin porridge, ginseng porridge; and four small dishes, mixed with shredded mustard greens, mixed with bean curd sticks, diced pickled cucumbers, and shredded red ear ears.
Chen Zhao picked up a golden silk roll and looked at the ginseng porridge.Asked: "Why do this again, didn't you say that you don't need to make up?"
Zijuan replied: "Aunt Xia and the Second Mistress Lian of Rongguo Mansion specially explained it. I am afraid that the uncle is busy during the day and has no time to eat. Let's eat more in the morning!"
There was a little more smile on Chen Zhao's face. Xia Ruoqing was worthy of being on the same level as Wang Xifeng, and she looked a bit like a director.
Qingwen, Zijuan and Chai'er saw that Chen Zhao's face changed from a faint smile to contemplation, and then returned to normal, they couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing why.
Here Chen Zhao recovered quickly, and with pickled melon shreds, Jiang drank two bowls of porridge and ate half a plate of small flower rolls.Although he got up early and had no appetite, but the rules were complicated at this time, and he, the official groom, was going to accompany the guests to welcome the bride, so he probably didn't have time to eat.
After breakfast, I left the sunflower courtyard. Before I left the second door, I saw Sister Feng coming, followed by many maids and women.Seeing Chen Zhao, everyone saluted, but Sister Feng looked at Chen Zhao with a smile, and said with a smile: "Groom officer, today is your big day, do you have enough food?"
Chen Zhao smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Second Sister-in-law for her concern."
Seeing that his expression was as usual, and he didn't have the anxiety of other grooms at all, they couldn't help secretly admiring that he was indeed a young Jinshi, a high-ranking official, and his wedding day was so calm.
Chen Zhao went out the second door and went to the living room in the front yard.Sun Shaozong, Zhang Heqing, Han Xiaozhong, and Jin Yiwei's friends all arrived, and these three were the most respectable, entertaining several well-connected guests together.There were also several older guests who were accompanied by Sha Jinrui.
For example, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are friends who are used to Chen Zhao's subordinates, and they are all at the door to greet guests at the moment.
Seeing Chen Zhao coming in, several guests of the same generation got up, bowed their hands and saluted, saying: "Congratulations to you!"
The elder nodded to Chen Zhao and said, "Brother Zhao is overjoyed." Naturally, Chen Zhao couldn't help bowing his hand in return, saying, "I'll let you worry about it."
He is a dignified member of the third rank, if not today, which elder would dare to accept such a gift from him?
After noon, the guests gradually filled the door.The in-laws and distant relatives of the Lin family, and the family members of the Jia family, some Chen Zhao had met and some had not met, and many relatives of various kinds came.
"Bai Hu Tong" says: Married.It is said to salute at dusk, so it is called marriage. "Youyang Miscellaneous" says: "Rituals", wedding must use faint.Because the yang goes and the yin comes.
Divination according to the rules.The auspicious time for worshiping the hall is at the moment of Xuchu.
The married wife invited by the Chen family is a "full blessing person".At the third moment of Shenzheng, after three gongs sounded and the house ceremony was performed, the married wife first went to the heaven and earth table to offer incense and kowtow.Then he stood beside the table and recruited the bridegroom official Chen Zhao to kowtow three times to the Jade Emperor and other gods enshrined on the table of heaven and earth.After that, the married wife lights the lanterns, and performs a series of procedures of "lighting the sedan chair", "smoking the sedan chair" and "pressing the sedan chair" to exorcise evil spirits, and the wedding sedan chair officially sets off.
Chen Zhao was wearing a ceremonial robe and a red cross.Riding a tall horse and walking in front of the wedding sedan.Eight guards in brocade clothes, Qianhu, in flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives across their waists, also draped in red and guarded the sides of the wedding sedan chair.Dressed in brand-new clothes, the servants of Chen's mansion, holding drums, lanterns and incense burners, sent each other off with noisiness all the way.
Amidst the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, the wedding sedan chair arrived at the Lin Mansion.
Perhaps the people brought by Chen Zhao were all in flying fish suits, and they looked very imposing. Lin Ruhai was filled with emotion, and didn't make much noise. After Chen Zhao threw out the happy money and red envelopes, he carried the sedan chair in smoothly.The sedan chair goes to the boudoir in the backyard to pick up the bride, while Chen Zhao goes to the main hall, kowtows to his mother-in-law three times as a ceremony of thanking the relatives, and then goes to the boudoir to make a deep bow with a talisman in front of the boudoir, urging makeup to welcome the bride.
According to the rules, the elder brother and uncle of the bride should be carried into the sedan chair. Daiyu has no brothers, but a distant cousin came to help.
This cousin of the Lin family had also met in Yangzhou before, he was very courageous, and even chatted and laughed with Chen Zhao, so Chen Zhao stuffed a big red envelope sealed with silver ingots.The guy weighed it and went in with a smile.Didn't even feel the slightest bit of embarrassment.
Before the wedding sedan leaves the house, the woman must hold a banquet to entertain the wedding officials and the bride respectively, but it is just a formality. The thousands of people in the royal family did not use their chopsticks at all, they only sat down and watched for a while.As long as the wedding sedan chair leaves the boudoir, a bowl of clear soup will be served here, and the waiter shouting "serve soup" means the end of the banquet.The married person immediately puts down the soup seal to reward money, and takes his leave at the table.
Because the rule is that carrying the bride and groom back from the bride's house cannot go back the same way, implying that there will be no turning back, so it is inevitable to take a detour.
Just like when the bridal sedan chair arrives at the woman's house, when the bridal sedan chair arrives at the man's house, the door must be closed first and then called. After a lot of amusing duets, the door is opened, and copper coins are sprinkled all over the sky to welcome the bridal sedan chair into the door.
The sending wife of Lin's family is also a "full-blessing person". She and the married wife brought them into the wedding hall and offered incense at the table of heaven and earth.The saddle that has been offered on the table of heaven and earth has been set up in front of the sedan chair here, and the bride and groom brought up bows and arrows.
A group of friends and eight Jinyi guards gathered around Chen Zhao, looked at the tightly closed car curtain, took the bow and arrow from Xiguan'er, and shot three arrows through the car curtain.
The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and the "Quanfu" girl who was invited from the Lin Mansion in advance brought makeup powder from the heaven and earth table, filled the bride with makeup powder, and then helped her get off the sedan chair.
The bride was dressed in full dress, and the little hands holding the apple and the "treasure vase" were white and tender, like creamy fat. They passed the saddle, the brazier, and stepped on the red felt. The two "Quanfu" invited by the Lin family With the help of his wife, he walked all the way into the wedding hall and stood beside Chen Zhao.
