Chapter 880: Cave House
Li Shimin picked up Xia Hongsheng and Li Lizhi with his hands, staring at his most beloved daughter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info She is dressed in auspicious clothes at the moment, and she is about to marry a wife in the blink of an eye.
I couldn't help but reddened my eyes and trembling voice for a while, but in the end I couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "Daughter, in the future, you will be the daughter-in-law of the Xia family." You have to learn from Xiangcheng to surrender, and you don't want royal majesty. Just remember to be a father, don't hold the emperor yourself, and when you arrive at your in-law's house, you will be spoiled and coquettish. Good life takes care of your home, and this palace will always be your home. Jingyang is not far away, if you have time, come back to see your father and your mother. ”
It is rare for Li Shimin's generation of heroes to have such a loving side, and at this moment, he is just a father who is reluctant to give up his daughter.
Li Lizhi also had tears in her eyes, and called: "Father...... Queen ......"
"Don't cry, Changle." Empress Eldest Sun hurriedly wiped away her tears, came up with a smile and tidied up Li Lizhi's steps, and said, "Today's big joy, many people look at it, don't cry and spend makeup." It's not a distant marriage, no matter when you want to come back in the future, you can come back to see your father and your mother. ”
Seeing this situation, Xia Hongsheng also had a sour nose for a while. saw Li Shimin come over and said to him, "Xia Qing...... Oh, good son-in-law! In the future, I will treat my daughter well. My daughter is very virtuous, I know it in my heart. If it is not good in the future, it must be because you are not considerate to her. If you have treated my daughter badly, be careful that I will pick you up! ”
"Your Majesty......"
"Huh?!" Li Shimin glared at Xia Hongsheng.
Xia Hongsheng reacted at this time, and quickly changed his words: "Father-in-law, don't worry!" I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated! The son-in-law and the princess should raise their eyebrows and respect each other. There are no tombs in the mountains, thunder and earthquakes in winter, rain and snow in summer, heaven and earth are together, but dare to be with the king! ”
Li Shimin nodded, sighed, and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, I hope you can remember today's oath." Virtuous son-in-law, please look at my thin face, and treat my daughter well......"
"Father......" Li Lizhi burst into tears, and was gently wiped away by the eldest grandson.
"Don't cry, today is a day of great joy." Li Shimin laughed and said to Li Liqian: "Go, go!" Don't miss the hour. ”
A salute, a goodbye. The welcoming team left the princess's mansion and headed towards Xia Hongsheng's mansion.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun naturally couldn't go together, so they asked Li Lizhi's brothers and sisters to send off their relatives.
In the hands of the greeting staff, there was an extra lantern, which illuminated the long street as if it were day.
The fireworks appeared again, and they were set off in front of the princess's mansion for a while, which was dazzling and dazzling. After that, they began to move forward with the procession of greeting relatives.
With the sound of fireworks, exclamations, shouts, laughter, and congratulations along the way, the welcoming team finally arrived in front of the Xia Mansion.
The bride got down from the sedan chair and covered her face with a fan again. And there was already a red carpet laid out by the Xia Mansion family in front of the door.
Xia Hongsheng went with Li Lizhi and arrived at the door, but saw a saddle at the door.
Li Lizhi took two quick steps, and when she reached the saddle, everyone around her also looked at her. I saw her step lightly over the saddle.
"Okay! Peace and security, peace and security! Suddenly there was a sound of joy around him.
The two continued to move forward and arrived at the ancestral hall. Xia Hongsheng's sister-in-law was very excited and was sitting in the hall.
Li Gang and Yan Shigu are both dressed in red robes, they are the guests, and they are also standing in the hall. These two of them are the guests of honor and officiate at the same time, which is a great honor, and it is difficult to invite one of them to the sky if they are other people.
"The misty sunset lotus comes out of the water, and the sun shines on the beam. How is it like a candle night, lightly fan to cover up red makeup. The beloved is scorched, and the light is born on the table. The sorrow drove high, and the ring was out of the corridor. Li Gang recited aloud, and then smiled at Xia Hongsheng: "It should be the groom who asked for poetry, but the bride fanned it." ”
After another fan salute, the bride will put down the fan again and show her true face to the groom's relatives and friends. (Note: In the Tang ceremony, the bride does not cover her head until the last moment.) But when the groom recites the fan poem, and after completing the fan salute, he no longer covers his face, but shows his true face)
Xia Hongsheng was prepared, and said with a smile: "Don't fan the painting out of the way to cover up the talent of Chunshan." If the reunion is a bright moon, osmanthus must be bloomed. ”
The crowd applauded in unison. Li Li smiled brightly, and then put down the face covering fan.
But I heard Yan Shi Gu Lang shouting: "The group is auspicious, the two clans are newly married, and the six rites are not sorrowful." The lamb is always prepared, and the jade silk is cooked. A gentleman will do things, and he will be dignified. Ugly, silent. The bride has arrived, salute! ”
Xia Hongsheng and Li Lizhen stood in the hall, facing the outside of the hall, and heard Yan Shigu say "worship heaven and earth", so they saluted together.
Then he turned around and looked at the excited Xia Hongsheng's sister-in-law, and heard Yan Shigu's sentence of "two bows to the high hall", and saluted to Xia Hongsheng's sister-in-law. The sister-in-law was excited to help, but she felt as if she shouldn't get up from her seat, but she couldn't close her mouth happily.
Xia Hongsheng took a deep breath and turned around again, and Li Lizhi also turned around.
There is no need to swear an alliance with the sea, nor does it have to be rotten, the moment the four eyes meet, the thousand-year-old mandarin alliance has been decided.
"Husband and wife worship each other!" Yan Shigu's voice sounded again, and Xia Hongsheng and Li Lizhen bowed to each other.
In the earth-shattering cheers of everyone, Yan Shigu's voice sounded again: "Throw yourself into the cave room!" ”
The crowd cheered and cheered, and hugged the two of them to the cave room.
When you get to the cave room, it's not the end of the ceremony.
Entering the cave room, the two of them performed the Wo Yu ceremony, that is, the cleansing of hands and faces before entering the table, symbolizing that the two should devote themselves to a new life with a pure and clear heart.
Originally, men and women at the age of seven sat at different tables and did not eat together, but in the future, the two of them would live together, sit at the same table, and eat at the same meal, so it was called the same prison ceremony.
Then there is the merger ceremony, which combines the two halves of the gourd into one, in order to show the meaning of eternal marriage and sharing weal and woe.
After the three salutes, it finally came to the final link.
Xia Hongsheng's sister-in-law arrived in the house and held a pair of scissors wrapped with red rope in her hand. When he came to the two of them, he cut a strand of hair from each of their heads, and took a bag from the moon fairy, knotted the two strands of hair into a concentric knot, and then put them in it.
"Married as husband and wife, there is no doubt about love." Xia Lin said solemnly, then took Xia Hongsheng and Li Lizhen's hands and folded them together, and put the bag in the hands of the two.
After all the etiquette was completed, Xia Lin left the cave room and drove away the crowd watching the excitement outside.
Finally, only Xia Hongsheng and Li Lizhen were left in the cave room. (To be continued.) )
