Chapter 514: Traveling to Get Married, Evil Couple Abolish Wedding (Part I)
No one objected, no one could refute it, and Liu Xing's abolition of the kneeling ceremony was soon spread by Lei Zhen and spread to the world.
The coronation ceremony also ended with Liu Xing's use of the topic and the successive issuance of decrees to launch new reform policies.
As soon as the coronation ceremony ended, the shock that Liu Xing, who had all the words, brought to the people of the world was far from over.
Looking around, Liu Xing suddenly showed a weird smile after Lei Zhen went and returned, and said loudly: "Everyone, the next process should be my wedding, right?" Hehe, you can eat the wedding banquet as it is, and I have discussed it with Linger, and we will not do the clichéd old rituals. The two of us kowtowed to my uncle, and then prepared to travel and get married. ”
"Traveling to get married?"
As soon as they heard this, Zong Ze and the seed master were stunned at the same time and screamed.
When the waiter of the Ministry of Rites heard this, he immediately asked loudly: "What is a travel marriage, if you don't pay a ceremony, what is a marriage!" ”
The faint ceremony in "Etiquette" and the wedding in "The Book of Rites" are all based on etiquette to get married.
The Faint One. It will be good to combine the two surnames. The temple is the temple, and the next generation is also. Therefore, the gentleman is important. It's a dusk prayer.
The ancients valued the righteousness of the couple and the grace of the knot, and did not think that this was a noisy and noisy thing.
At that time, the mourning ceremony was very simple and clean, no fun, and there were no juggling things such as the messy hijab and the cave room of the offspring.
The knotted hair entered the cave house hand in hand, and the clothes were not red and green, but the real traditional faint dress of the Han nation. The bridegroom wears a knight's robe, and the bottom is a silk garment with black trim. The bride wears a hair ornament and a dress in pure black with a reddish tinge.
However, the wedding that was originally very simple in ancient times developed into the era of the Great Song Dynasty. It's become incredibly complicated.
First of all, he had to purify the ceremony, that is, Liu Xing was forcibly thrown into a large wooden barrel to soak for an hour, wash his body clean, and then enter the ceremony.
What is the service? It's about getting dressed. The groom has three floors inside and three layers outside. Whether it is the bitterly cold of Sanjiu or the unbearable dog days, you must put on nine clothes inside and out. The bride is even more miserable, and even ** has to wear two layers.
Last night. When Liu Xing asked the breeder about the rules of weddings in this era, Liu Xing said a sentence at that time: Wrapping people into a big zongzi makes people look solemn in front of them. What about entering the cave room? If the master is in a hurry, I'm afraid that the big flag under his pants has already fallen, so how can he spend candles in the cave......
It will be very troublesome to take off those heavy, three-layered clothes and three layers outside. After the service, there is another ritual before the newlyweds enter the chapel.
What is the ceremony, that is, the bridegroom should find a room in advance. Make it an ancestral hall. After the ceremony, under the guidance of the elders in the family, the groom took the bride into the ancestral hall and bowed to the ancestors first, which is regarded as bringing the bride into the family, sacrificing to the ancestors first, and taking the bride to recognize the ancestors of the husband's family.
This etiquette is originally nothing to most people. Because this is a kind of filial piety, it is a good thing to do.
But the same thing, not everyone is very suitable. Liu Xing's father died early. The mother is long gone. Among the seed masters is the uncle of Yanling, if he leads the two to recognize the ancestors of the Liu family. That's going to get weird.
Because people will think that this is a husband who is included in the family, or is the Liu family, a prime minister and two generals in the three yamen, marrying a wife? Those who worship and recognize the ancestors of the Liu family, or the ancestors of the farming family!
If it is replaced by Hu Anguo or Zong Ze, will it not be possible to replace the Liu family as the leader? The answer is also no, because according to the customs and regulations of the Great Song Dynasty, those who have heirs in the family cannot be introduced, and those who have no heirs are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall.
Juan Guo's three sons. There are several grandchildren. Although Zong Ze's two sons are not extremely popular ministers now, they are gradually becoming Liu Xing's right-hand men. In this case, Liu Xing could not recognize a godfather to salute, and it was impossible for any of the two elders to expel their sons from the house and go to the ceremony himself.
So when he heard this etiquette in the planter, Liu Xing expressed his helplessness. At that time, the planters also came up with a solution. It is to follow the rule of "the eldest brother is like a father", and urgently recruit Liu Qi, the oldest and oldest descendant of the Liu family, to come back as a worshipper.
The method in the cultivation is in line with the etiquette system, but it goes against the plan that the imperial court has determined. Let Liu Qi come back, who will lead the war against Xiqiang and the bandits in Xining Prefecture?
Liu Qi came back, and Liu Xi could go to fight. But for his eleventh brother, Liu Xing didn't trust the ninth brother so much at all.
Because Liu Xi is more than brave and resourceful, far inferior to Liu Qi. The most important thing is that Liu Xi also has some lustful and greedy little problems, Liu Xing doesn't dare to let him do such a big mess that is crucial to the future defense of the western border.
The troubled times are endless, how many men today can't find people to worship, is it because they can't find the elders in the family so that those men don't get married? Isn't it true that if there is no ceremony, the bride will not be able to recognize the ancestors of her husband's family and be regarded as the wife of the main house?
No one can be a memorial, which is the second important reason why Liu Xing is destined to completely change the wedding customs.
It's just that the first two reasons, which do not include the follow-up etiquette such as worshipping heaven and earth and worshipping the high hall and seeing relatives in the next days of the Great Song Dynasty's etiquette system, decided last night that Liu Xing would ignore the constraints of the etiquette system and go to see Yanling before marriage to discuss countermeasures.
Liu Xing's evil madness and wild goose feather behavior are also weird. When such a newlywed couple is confronted with a series of stereotypes that neither of them likes, or even extremely resents, it is not surprising that the bride and groom decide to come out and "travel to get married".
However, as the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, who was the world's model, he did not hold a ceremony when he got married, but he wanted to come up with a set of "travel marriage" that was literally easy to understand, but difficult to be accepted, and everyone present was still unacceptable.
However, since he dared to speak out and wanted to do it, Liu Xing naturally expected that there would be opposition voices like that squire.
When the waiter's surprise words came out, Liu Xing didn't speak, just smiled and moved his gaze to the direction of the main entrance of the lobby.
As Liu Xing's gaze shifted, everyone's eyes also moved. Soon, everyone in the hall saw a red wedding dress and a kind of wild goose feather dressed in two female guards.
As soon as she walked into the lobby, Chong Yanling immediately said loudly: "Rude and marriageable, as long as everyone knows that the slave family is Liu Xing's wife today, as long as my family and the Liu family agree that the marriage between the two of us has been completed." Justice is at ease in people's hearts, so why bother with vulgar etiquette. The pedantic old system should be abolished, and I am willing to open this new end and set an example for the people of the world together with the prime minister. (To be continued.) )
