In the afternoon of the next day, outside Zhang's house.

A carriage was decorated with red silk flowers very festive and beautiful, and the same red father boarded the float surrounded by Zhang Chao and a group of other people.

"Welcome!"

The Zhang family's welcoming team is very large, more than 300 people, all of whom are tenants of the Zhang family, a large group of strong men and young men, all of whom have changed into new clothes today, and everyone has also been given a big red silk given by the Zhang family. Everyone used this big red silk to pull a big red flower and tied it to their chests.

More than 300 people hugged a carriage and slowly marched towards the Ke family.

Because the Ke family is also in Zhangjiagou, in the end, the float deliberately circled the village three times, and even passed through the streets of Bailu Township.

Zhang Chao is also wearing a big red shirt, wearing a big red silk flower on his chest, and he is happy behind the carriage.

From time to time, the team shouted to greet their relatives and walked slowly.

The sun has moved to the west, and it is full of beautiful sunsets.

The team finally arrived in front of Ke's house.

At this time, it was Ma Zhou's turn to appear, he first went to call the door of the Ke family on behalf of Father Zhang, went in to meet Qi Niang's parents and relatives, and waited for a set of gifts to be completed, and then came out again.

The Ke family's parents have already passed this level, but they still have to pass several levels to pick up the bride.

"Alright, guys, now it's our time."

Zhang Chao stood on a stone on the side of the road and shouted, "Everyone will listen to my command in a while, shout with me." One, two, three, bride, come out quickly!"

So more than 100 strong men followed Zhang Chao and shouted loudly at the Ke family, "Bride, come out quickly!" ā€

"Bride, come out quickly, bride, come out quickly."

Everyone has eaten the Zhang family's sumptuous banquet today, so it can be said that it is full of neutrality now. More than 100 people shouted the bride in unison, and it was indeed a big scene.

It was shouted at least a hundred times, and the whole village came to watch.

At this time, the third lady walked out.

She stood at the door, and did not speak.

Zhang Chao immediately stepped forward and stuffed a large string of money into the hands of the third lady.

The third lady smiled and still didn't speak, and she didn't get out of the way.

Zhang Chao waved his hand, and Cheng Chumo immediately ran over, and today he was also as red as Zhang Chao, like a boiled prawn.

The second time I sent it, it was a small silver collar.

The third lady still didn't speak, still smiling.

Zhang Chao waved his hand again, and Niu Jianhu trotted up and handed over a small gold bar.

The copper, silver and gold were all received, and the third lady nodded with satisfaction.

"The bride is still putting on makeup, as long as you can write a hypnotic poem, then the bride can hurry."

Zhang Chao waved his hand again, and Ma Zhou, who was also dressed in red, came over.

"It is rumored that the candle is lowered to pink, don't make spring in front of the mirror;

You don't need to be covered with makeup, but you have to wait for the painting with your eyebrows. ā€

"Good poetry."

Countless men on the Zhang family's side shouted, in fact, everyone didn't know if it was good, anyway, San Lang had an explanation, and the horse tent room immediately applauded as soon as he read the poem.

Ma Zhou's face was flushed when he was called by everyone, he thought about it all night last night, and made a hypnotic poem that he felt was good, but Zhang Chao heard it in the morning and rejected it directly. This made Ma Zhou very unconvinced, I am only eight years old, what is wrong with this poem.

As a result, Zhang Chao casually came to a poem, which is the one he is reading now. After hearing this, Ma Zhou didn't say anything. This poem is 108,000 times better than his own, he simply doubts life, his own poetry made by a scholar is not as good as a monk who is more vulgar?

Zhang Chao casually said that he didn't do it, but he had seen it in poetry books before, and he didn't remember whose poems it was. Ma Zhou didn't believe in this answer at all, such a good poem was written by his predecessors, how could he not know?

After reading Ma Zhou's hypnotic poem, the Ke family finally sent Ke Qiniang out.

The Ke family also prepared a carriage, which was also very beautifully decorated.

At this time, the old father asked the old cow to drive the carriage to turn around and take the lead in the first step.

And Ke Shan drove the carriage and carried the Seven Ladies on the heel.

It is customary that the wedding car of the woman's family is prepared by the woman's family.

The bride goes to the bridegroom's house by car, and the woman's family also has to send off her relatives. Ke Wu took the Ke family from Zhangjiagou to see them off behind the car, they had to be sent to Zhang's house all the way, and then they had to have a banquet at Zhang's house, and they could only return overnight.

At this time, at dusk, the two families returned to Zhang's house with two carriages one after the other.

The groom did not ride a horse to greet his relatives, which made Zhang Chao feel a little regretful. But this is a traditional custom, and it is not something that Zhang Chao said would change. The descendants greeted their relatives in the morning, but the Tang people were at dusk.

But getting married is not always easy.

The carriage and horses were halfway there.

The Ke family is making trouble again.

Ke Wu took dozens of Ke family men and ran to the front of his father's carriage and blocked the road.

This is also a custom, there is a hypnosis in the front, and there is a car obstacle in the back.

If you want to think about it, you can leave it to buy road money.

Zhang Chao was also prepared, and waved his hand directly, so Cheng Chumo, Niu Jianhu, Li Gan, and Yu Chi Baolin each took down a sack from the carriage.

"Hey-ha!"

The four of them carried four sacks and put them in front of Ke Wu and the other roadblockers, then opened the bags and began to scatter money.

They are all copper coins, and Zhang Chao prepared 6,666 copper coins, which means 66 Shun.

Copper coins are scattered, and a layer of copper light is placed on the road.

Ke Wu and the others laughed and picked up the money, and hundreds of people each picked up dozens of copper coins, and then got out of the way with satisfaction.

The carriage finally moved forward smoothly and waited in front of Zhangjiayuan.

Then the woman has to listen to the rules of the Zhang family.

The housekeeper had prepared three liters of corn at home, filled them in a stone mortar, took a mat to cover the mouth of the well, stuffed the window with three pounds of flax, and put three arrows at the door of the new house.

Qi Niang, who was wearing a red hijab, was dressed in a green wedding dress, got out of the car, entered Zhang's house, and was directly led by Sanniang to the kitchen to worship the stove.

This is a custom that means that in the future the bride will be a good master of household chores.

Zhang Chao and other relatives went out of the door, and then entered from the main gate in a circle, stepping on the bride's footprints together, indicating good luck.

There is also a wedding custom, when the bride gets married in the moon, the bride cannot see her aunt. The Tang people call their in-laws their aunts, and they can't see their mother-in-law when they get married.

And what is strange is that there is no worship hall at this time.

Instead, a tent was built in the courtyard with a blue curtain, which was called Qinglu. The newlyweds complete their worship here and spend their first night here.

It is said that this is a custom handed down from the Northern Dynasties, with a bit of Hu Feng. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, this custom was still used, and it was not until later that it was changed to worship in the house and get married.

People from both families watched the ceremony together.

Daddy is red, Qi Niang is green, red men and green women, worship in Qinglu.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Second worship high hall!"

"Husband and wife!"

Zhang Chao noticed that when the husband and wife worshipped, it was not the husband and wife who worshiped together, but Qi Niang worshiped first, and then the father bowed back, so four times, not three times.

Zhang Chao watched it very happily on the side, feeling very novel, this father's wedding was like his own wedding rehearsal. After seeing his father's wedding, he doesn't have to worry about going on a business trip when he marries Thirteen Niang in a few days.

After the worship, there was no such thing as being sent to the cave room.

After the worship, there are several more ceremonies.

Among them, there is a gourd divided into two scoops, a gourd is made in half, Daddy and Qi Niang take half of it, and then pour wine and drink it.

No glass of wine!

After drinking, the two turned the cup upside down, which is the meaning of yin and yang, otherwise, they will be bullied by their daughter-in-law for the rest of their lives. And on the first night of the wedding, the shoes must not be stepped on by the bride, and the clothes must not be pressed, otherwise, you will also be bullied.

Hearing Qiuyue and Dongqing's serious nonsense, Zhang Chao almost laughed.

"It's true, what the old man said, how could it be wrong." Dong Qing still looked like what I said was true.

If you have drunk wine, you will fan it.

Qi Niang wore a hijab when she went out, and there was a phoenix crown in it.

Before worshipping, Qi Niang had to keep holding a fan to cover her face.

After the prayer, the fan can be removed.

But this fan won't be taken away casually, and you have to make a fan poem, which is the same as a hypnotic poem.

"Daddy, it's up to you."

Zhang Chao smiled and said to his father, who looked helpless. Since he doesn't know how to write poetry at all, fortunately, under normal circumstances, he only needs to memorize a poem.

The father coughed twice, and the third lady took off the hijab of Qi Niang.

In order to memorize this poem, my father worked hard to recite it for several days.

But everyone still couldn't see Qi Niang's face, because there was still a fan in front of them.

Dad read a poem aloud, and then Qi Niang lifted the fan up a little and exposed her mouth.

Daddy read another sentence, and Qi Niang showed her nose. After reading the third sentence, his eyes were exposed, and after the fourth sentence, he finally finished the fan.

Today's Qi Niang is very beautiful, and she also wears makeup, which is from the Cheng family invited a maid who is good at makeup to come and paint.

But after the fan, it is necessary to close the bun, that is, to tie the hair, symbolizing the harmony of the husband and wife, and the eternal union.

Different eras have different hair ties. In the Qin and Han dynasties, the groom personally untied the bride's wedding ribbon when she was in her mother's house, that is, the ribbon that tied her hair, and then tied it after combing her hair.

At this time, the bride and groom cut off a little hair, tied it into a bun, and then immediately handed it over to the bride for preservation.

After the knot, Dad and Qi Niang are officially husband and wife.

The wedding is also considered a ceremony.

"Old cow, set off firecrackers."

"San Lang, how many rings?"

"A thousand and one rings!" Zhang Chao shouted happily.

One thousand and one rings, and the old cow is not ambiguous, "I know the class." ā€

"Niu Da Niu Er, go and move the bamboo pole here!"

The housekeeper over there also shouted loudly, "Guests and friends from all parties, take a seat, it's time to open the table!" ā€

The old cow had already started throwing the pole into the fire, and the rod was bursting and popping.

The band that Zhang Chao specially paid to invite from Chang'an also began to play.

"It's time to eat."

"Serve!"

The kitchen had already prepared the dishes, and as soon as they heard the order to open the table, they immediately served the dishes. One by one, the cooks take the tray and bring the delicious and tempting dishes to the table!

At this time, Dad also held a wine glass in his hand, and came over to greet him from one table to another.

"Everyone eats and drinks well, don't be polite!" (To be continued.) )
