703 New Three Books and Six Rites

Weddings in the Ming Dynasty, the royal family, the gentry and the common people's homes are different, usually the highest level of the royal family to pay attention to the "three books and six rites", one can not be missing, that is, the appointment, the ceremony, the three books and the Cai, the name, Naji, the recruitment, the invitation, the kiss, a total of six main procedures.

However, when it comes to ordinary people's homes, the law does not allow such pomp and circumstance, at most there are three courtesies---- even if you have money in business, you are not allowed, otherwise it is "trespassing" and will be confiscated and distributed.

Obviously, in today's Macau, the Ming Dynasty has long been a yellow flower of yesterday, and the Qing government in front of it can't manage it for the time being, and it doesn't bother to care about these "foreign barbarians", so Ren Ke has the conditions to make a big show here.

Ren Ke decided that he wanted to go through the wedding of three books and six ceremonies, and give his woman an unforgettable wedding.

Of course, unlike common sense, the "Three Books and Six Rites" of Ren Ke and Yang Qiaoqiao's marriage are relatively compact in time - the new Three Books and Six Rites.

This is also a helpless thing, if you finish the pomp of the "Three Books and Six Rites" according to the normal rhythm, it will not be able to finish it without spending seven or eight months, if that is the case, the child in Yang Qiaoqiao's belly may fall to the ground, and at that point, Yang Qiaoqiao's face may really have no place to put it.

So we must hurry up with the time.

So the first step of "Nacai" this link, in fact, began a week before the next Yuan Festival, when Qiao Gongzi accepted Yang Qiaoqiao as a righteous daughter on the front foot, and when Dai Xiaoshan took the identity of the man's brother and matchmaker, he visited Qiao Dagongzi's Harry Bar with a letter of appointment, and after the two discussed for a while, they also went to the Qiao family's old house to ask for peace to the ancestors, and "by the way" to accept the orphan daughter of the Yang family as a righteous daughter and Ren Ke's appointment letter to inform the whole family, which can be regarded as the "Ming Media" in the "Ming Media is Marrying".

Next, I went to the Mazu Temple in the north of the city non-stop to "ask for the name", and ten taels of silver were stuffed to the abbot in the temple, and a "heaven made a hundred years to sign a good sign" was in hand, which was regarded as the completion of the two procedures of "asking for the name" and "Najib".

In order to realize Ren Ke's strategic intention of creating a momentum in Macau City, Dai Xiaoshan donated another 20 taels of incense and silver, and asked the abbot to do a ten-day prayer for the newlyweds.

The abbot was very happy to have this big deal, and agreed to it.

So on the third day, it entered the "recruitment" link: in fact, the man sent the letter of appointment and the bride price to the woman's house, at this time, the people in Macau knew that the eldest son of the Qiao family had just accepted the number one female bustard in the city as a righteous daughter, and it was also rumored that the handsome adult in Australia was going to marry the top brand of the party as the main lady, obviously this news was indeed a bit shocking, and it was very eye-catching, and it also created a wealth of topics.

So that morning, when the convoy of five four-wheeled carriages full of dowry prices set off from Xiyuan and walked all the way through the streets to the door of Harry's Bar, the crowd of onlookers there had already clogged the alley to the bridal eye.

People watched with interest the bridal gifts from Australians, because there were many strange things inside, the most eye-catching of which was a large dressing mirror and a dressing table with glass mirrors, as well as a jar of fairy cave milk wine and sweet potato spirits.

One of the most surprising are the fairy cave milk wine and sweet potato spirits in glass bottles, the amber liquor is served in crystal clear glass bottles, and the open bamboo basket reflects the sunlight, dazzling the eyes of the onlookers.

By the way, in the whole city of Macau, only Qiao's Harry Bar has fairy cave milk wine and Australian sweet potato spirits retail every day, and other bars and restaurants are here and there, after all, the Pride can only come back once every two months, and these two "famous wines" are often out of stock.

Especially the fairy cave milk wine, this kind of wine is very scarce in the market, often priceless, but Harry's bar never loses supply, but the price is a little expensive, but this is the only place in the whole Macau city to retail fairy cave milk wine, this alone makes Harry's bar business very good.

Well, back to the bridal gifts, in addition to the above-mentioned rare and eye-catching bridal gifts, there are also many large gifts---- such as white silver taels in wooden boxes, bundles of colorful silk satin, glass palace lamps, Australian calico and white sugar, etc., these gifts are placed in boxes on the steps outside the door of Harry's Bar, causing a great visual sensation to the onlookers.

So Ren Ke made persistent efforts and began the link of "invitation", the so-called "invitation" is that the man asks the woman's elders about the specific date of the woman's marriage, on the same day, Dai Xiaoshan took Ren Ke and the book of rites to visit the eldest son of the Qiao family in person, and the latter also formally led the two to the old house of the Qiao family to meet the old lady, and the reason is also very sufficient, the eldest son of Qiao is undoubtedly Ren Ke's elder, but now there are elders above the elders, so theoretically speaking, the old lady of the Qiao family has the obligation to set a marriage date for her "righteous granddaughter".

When the old man took the "gift book" handed over by Ren Ke Bi respectfully, he suddenly realized something, so he called the second son over and ordered on the spot that since it was the granddaughter of the Qiao family's house who got married, as an elder, it was very appropriate for the second son to come forward to sit as the host of this marriage, so the second son had such an errand that could not be refused out of thin air.

The next thing is to set the date of the wedding, Ren Ke handed over the good sign drawn in front of the Mazu Great Immortal Seat to the old lady of the Qiao family for inspection, and then suggested that the old lady of the Qiao family should welcome the family on the next Yuan Festival, the old lady of the Qiao family glanced at Ren Ke, and only smiled for a while and said, This righteous daughter of our Qiao family is really blessed, and it is really enviable to find such a handsome and talented person......

Obviously, what the old lady said was not exactly kind words, and all the men and women in the main hall felt the same way.

After all, in the traversal crowd, everyone also recognizes that Ren Ke is a handsome guy, whether it is facial features, skin and physical development, he is a leader.

How handsome is the whole person? Let's put it this way: If Ren Ke is still in the university of the old world, if Ren Ke suddenly interrupts his studies one day and debuts in the entertainment industry to eat with his face, it is estimated that many people will believe that ---- people are handsome to this extent.

In the old world, they are all handsome guys, let alone in this era when the medical and nutritional conditions are not as good as those in the old world.

Obviously, the old lady of the Qiao family's scrutinizing eyes made Ren Ke feel that he was being seen through, and hurriedly went down to look at the ground, but the old lady laughed and said, This Yuan Festival is also a big festival, and it is naturally okay to use it on the day of the wedding, and the old lady finally agreed, and this day is set.

After a period of intense coquettish operations, Ren Ke finally caught up with the last procedure of the wedding on the day of the Xia Yuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the tenth lunar month - greeting relatives.

The team to welcome the relatives is extremely luxurious, the leading guard of honor is 27 colored flags, the flag bearers are all dressed in red and hung colors, there are 27 at the end of the team, and Ren Ke and Hu from the surrounding of the Dai Huang Ai brother who rode in the middle of the team, there are 27 colored flags!

There are a total of ninety-nine eighty-one colored flags, and this arrogant and earth-shattering pomp and circumstance surrounded the four brothers all the way, which is extremely stylish.

Not only that, Ren Ke also invited two troupes, one after the other to play their own tunes, because they are each blowing their own tunes, so this welcoming team makes the ears of the surrounding spectators dizzy, but it is indeed very lively, not only lively, but also very good---- Ren Ke wants this kind of card.

According to the normal etiquette procedures, when the greeting team arrives at the door of the woman's house, the first thing to do is to take out the welcome book in the three books and read it out in public, and the woman's elders come forward to receive the welcome book, and then the groom will go back to the house, waiting for the bride's family to send the bride to the house with a sedan chair.

Loudly praising the welcome book is Ren Ke's brother who is also the matchmaker's identity of the substitute doctor, this welcome book is from the hand of the eldest son, and the praise is also a variety of love words, so that Dai Xiaoshan actually has a feeling of unbearable reading, fortunately, the substitute doctor finally finished reading the welcome book, firecrackers and fireworks rang out, just waiting for the main hall door to open, the old man Qiao Dagongzi is going to come out to welcome the book.
