Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

The entire process of getting married is very long, counting from the engagement, it lasted more than two years, but the wedding process is not long, Li Shan only needs to go to greet the bride, and it is almost from dusk to night, a total of two hours Left and right, of course, this is also the reason why Yanshoufang and Jinchengfang are not far away.

It is even shorter for the guests, they just need to watch the ceremony... and they don't have to eat, after all, there is a curfew in Chang'an.

Therefore, starting from the mid-Tang Dynasty, weddings were no longer held at dusk, but during the day, which lengthened the entire wedding time, and this habit continued until later generations.

After the ceremony, the bride was sent to the new house, and Li Shan first thanked Yang Shidao, today's master of ceremonies, and asked the two praisers to send the guests away, and then went over... instead of going directly to the bridal chamber, there are three more rituals that need to be done in the new house ongoing.

"Third Sister." Li Shan walked in and greeted with a smile, "Remember to go to Zhuangzi tomorrow... Brother-in-law has asked for leave, right?"

Princess Pingyang glanced over calmly, Li Shan quickly closed his mouth, and sat obediently beside Cui Shiniang.

Princess Pingyang sat opposite the bride and groom, and there was a table in the middle with a plate of mutton that had been prepared a long time ago.

Picking up the chopsticks and putting one piece on the plate in front of Li Shan, and another piece on the plate in front of Cui Shiniang, Princess Pingyang said: "Eat."

Li Shan and Cui Shiniang first thanked each other and bowed to each other, and then picked up the chopsticks and put the mutton into their mouths. The newlyweds ate the meat of the same livestock together, which is called the same prison ceremony.

It's too cumbersome, but Li Shan has been trained as a skilled worker in the past ten days, put down his chopsticks, wipe his hands, and untie the wedding tassel from Cui Shiniang's head. The maid on the side has already handed over the scissors, The two cut each other's strands of hair, tied them into a "combined bun", and put them in the kit. This is a hair knot ceremony.

"Thank you, Third Sister, I won't bother you with the rest." Li Shan finally relaxed.

"Shut up." Princess Pingyang scolded, and said seriously: "Since we are husband and wife, we will become one in the future."

Li Shan's cheeks twitched, of course they will be one in the future, but in fact they will be even more one in time... The former refers to the relationship, and the latter refers to the body.

"Huiren has fought on the battlefield for several years, Chang Jian took a slanted front, so don't act recklessly in the future."

"Yes." Li Shan also corrected his attitude, but then sighed: "Third sister should know, there will be no chance of taking risks from now on."

Princess Pingyang didn't even bother to pay attention to him, and continued: "Last year and this year, we had a lot of contacts. Eleven Niang has a heroic spirit and a strong temperament. Now that she is Li's wife, she should restrain her temper and be gentle and obedient."

Li Shan couldn't help turning his head to glance, thinking about it was right, someone who could share the same temperament as his mother would definitely not be a good girl.

Cui Shiniang leaned over to salute, her voice was clear and powerful, "I would like to obey it."

Princess Pingyang nodded and looked at Li Shan, "Go out."

If I go out, could it be that you replace my bridal chamber... Li Shan went out with a slander, and all the guests had already left, so he went to thank the two praisers Wei Ting and Zhang Cong first, and then sent the six bridesmaids away. If you don't leave now, maybe you still want to make trouble in the bridal chamber.

However, the Tang Dynasty really didn't talk about making trouble in the bridal chamber.

The entire Wei Palace is very large, with six entrances and exits, from the ceremonial room, the ear room, the stable, to various guest rooms, and housing. Li Shan is not used to the strong color of the times, he prefers the Li house in Sun Moon Lake, most of which are designed by himself.

I found my mother in the second hospital. Mrs. Zhu was still busy with Zhu Wei and Hou Chen. When she saw her son coming, she sent them away with a few words. Li Shan didn't know what they were busy with... The guests' congratulations were not today. It was just given away, and no one sent the money directly, so it's hard to use the abacus to settle accounts.

After entering the third entrance courtyard, Li Shan checked it again. There were rows of guest houses on the side of this entrance, and all the people from the Zhu clan who came to watch the ceremony lived in them, and they were having dinner now.

"Your Majesty is here."

"Lang Jun."

Li Shan nodded and smiled, and beckoned to Liu Heier and Wang Junhao, "I might live here occasionally in the future, but neither the old lady nor the madam...at least not in the last few years."

Wang Junhao nodded and said: "I was talking to Ah Hei about this just now, and I have inspected all of them in the past two days. In the future, Mr. Lang will stay here, and Ah Hei will follow along with his personal guards."

Liu Heier hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Lang, the palace is too big, and I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower. Why don't you transfer them from Zhuangzi?"

"No." Li Shan said decisively, "Zhuangzi must have enough people."

After walking back and forth for a few steps, Li Shan ordered in a low voice, "Find someone unremarkable and go out, and rent a house in Yanshoufang, Buzhengfang, and Jinchengfang."

Wang Junhao responded without thinking much, but Liu Heier was thoughtful, Yanshoufang is where the Wang's mansion is, and Jinchengfang is where Cui's mansion is, but why rent a house in Buzhengfang?
If I remember correctly, on the way to Jinchengfang today, someone pointed to it and mentioned it. Liu Heier remembers clearly that Buzhengfang is on the north side of Yanshoufang, and it is also close to the imperial city, and it is in Shunyi of the imperial city. by the door.

……

Inside the new house.

Princess Pingyang looked at the calm and composed Cui Shiniang, and said softly: "The two sons of Qinghe County are mediocre, but the only daughter is smart. You must have seen something."

Cui Shiniang nodded slightly, "So, my sister knows everything."

This question has long been in Cui Shiniang's mind, because in the engagement letter two years ago, the columns of Li Shan's father and grandfather are empty. She knows that his father Cui Xin must be an insider, and his mother Zhang Although he had doubts, he finally chose to turn a blind eye... because Li Shan was later canonized as the king of Handan County, and his father's birthplace was an early death.

If it was just an early death, there was no need to leave the marriage certificate empty.

Cui Shiniang tried it out one after another. Zhang Wenguan was an ignorant person, and the two elder brothers didn't know anything. When she visited Princess Pingyang several times, she made indirect remarks, and she presumably was discovered by Princess Pingyang at that time.

"Indeed, I know everything." Princess Pingyang smiled lightly: "But you don't need to worry, the Duke of Qinghe knew about it a long time ago, and Huairen's life was rough...let him tell, he will tell you."

Cui Shiniang remained silent, thinking to herself that the word "life experience was rough" did not match her guess... She guessed before that it was possible that Li Shan's father and grandparents were notorious and scolded by the world, but now it seems that this is not the case .

Princess Pingyang suddenly asked with interest: "Did he really not know that you chose Lian in the Furong Garden?"

"It's not that he told you that "Ai Lian said" was written?"

Cui Shiniang blushed slightly, shook her head and said, "Third Sister, my younger sister was taught by her parents since she was a child, and she dare not lie to outsiders."

This is true. Starting from "I don't know where to go, peach blossoms still laugh at the spring breeze", Li Shan wrote many letters to Cui Shiniang through Zhang Wenguan and Cui Xin, but Cui Shiniang didn't reply a single one .

"It's a match made in heaven!" Princess Pingyang stood up, "This matter is not trivial, and it is related to the court situation, so I can't tell you in advance. I hope you can understand me."
