Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 353 The Big Day (VIII)

Fan Ning heard that the emperor's congratulatory gift had arrived, and hurried forward to thank him. An eunuch read aloud the emperor's handwritten letter, "Everything is full of joy, and it is the time when the magpie bridge fairy descends. Go up to the congratulatory ceremony, chat to express my congratulations, and wish the new couple a happy marriage for a hundred years and be united forever!"

After reading, the eunuch said loudly again: "The emperor gave Fan Ning some official porcelain, a hundred catties of dragon tea, and the empress gave his bride some Zhu's jewelry and five sets of palace clothes. It is a meager gift, and there is no way to refuse it!"

Fan Ning hurriedly bowed to thank him, "I thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor, and thank you, the Empress, for your grace!"

The head eunuch handed the handbook to Fan Ning, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Fan Zhizhou on his wedding!"

General Zhu Yuanfeng hurriedly put a red seal into the hands of each eunuch, inside was a piece of Baiguan Huizi, the leading eunuch gave [-] Guan, everyone was immediately overjoyed, drank a glass of wedding wine, and left.

After a group of eunuchs left, the wedding continued. At this moment, the groom’s father, Fan Tiezhou, threw a piece of colored silk hanging in front of the gate to the guests. The city pays a good job', everyone is happy with the groom.

Although this is just a ceremony, today the emperor and the queen sent congratulatory gifts to the newcomers at the same time. This kind of blessing is not something ordinary people can have, let alone easy encounters. , Those who missed were stomping their feet angrily.

The following part is the newcomer's worship, which is similar to that in the TV series, but there are also differences. The worship is an important part of the wedding after spreading the tent. Under the guidance of the ceremony officer, Fan Ning came to Fugui's bed and invited the bride Zhu Pei Come out to pull the scarf, the groom holds the pagoda slips in his hand, and hangs the red and green colored silk, which is tied into a concentric knot, and the other end is handed over to the bride. The bride and groom each hold a concentric knot, and walk face to face. to the lobby.

The matchmaker next to him is muttering: reunion, the beauty of the evening is precious, and the emerald belt of the same heart will hang down. From then on, there will be no dust, and he will look cold when he is old.

A couple of newlyweds stood side by side in the lobby. At this time, Fan Ning's third aunt, Mrs. Lu, stepped forward with a scale in her hand, and used the scale to lift off the bride's hijab. It's strange!Why didn't he lift his hijab in the bridal chamber and was fooled by the TV series again.
An elder woman who lifts her hijab must have both sons and daughters, like the second aunt who only has two sons. The Song Dynasty was not patriarchal, and it emphasized both sons and daughters.

In the candlelight, the bride Zhu Pei was extremely charming and shy, and the whole house applauded immediately, and the atmosphere reached a climax.

The master of ceremonies shouted: "Worship the ancestors!"

It's not just worshiping heaven and earth!Ancestors are the most important thing. Heaven and earth are worshiped by the emperor, and it is the turn of ordinary people to worship.

The two knelt and kowtowed in front of the spirit tablet of the ancestor of the Fan family, and the master of ceremonies shouted again: "Second worship!"

According to the custom, only the parents and grandparents of the husband’s family are worshiped at the high hall here, but there are also kind-hearted husbands who invite the parents and grandparents of the in-laws to worship together, expressing their gratitude to the parents for their upbringing, and the Fan family also invites the in-laws together. Sitting Fan Zhongyan and Zhu Yuanfu, on the right are Fan Tiezhou and Zhang Sanniang, and on the left are Zhu Xiaoyun and Wang Shi.

This is Zhang Sanniang's suggestion. Although she is the daughter-in-law of the Fan family, in her heart, her son's interest is far greater than that of the Fan family. It is only good for her son to give the Zhu family face, although the brothers of the Fan family are a little bit uncomfortable. Yes, but Zhang Sanniang insisted on her suggestion, and everyone agreed.

Seeing that everyone was seated, the master of ceremonies shouted, "Three kowtows, thank you Gaotang!"

Fan Ning and Zhu Pei knelt down on the futon and respectfully kowtowed three times. The parents of both sides laughed from ear to ear and said repeatedly: "Good boy, get up quickly!"

The master of ceremonies shouted: "Husband and wife pay respects!"

The two knelt down again and gave each other a big gift, which meant that the husband and wife should respect and respect each other. The master of ceremonies shouted again, "Send it to the account!"

Don't you go into the bridal chamber after worshiping?Not at all!Later, there are three major etiquettes to be done: spreading the tent, drinking the wedding wine, and getting married. The couple also have to thank the guests and drink a few glasses of wine before being sent to the bridal chamber.

Spreading the tent has always been called the most important ceremony in the wedding of the Han people. It has been like this since the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The new couple sat in a small blue tent. The gentry going south set up marriages and set up tents on the side of the road to hold weddings for the new couples, and Qinglu came from here.

Setting the tent-casting as the most important ceremony in marriage is also to some extent a respect for the ancestors.

The newlyweds sit in the tent, and the parents of both parties hold gold and silver plates containing copper coins, miscellaneous fruits, sugar, flower petals and other lucky items. The relatives sprinkle the lucky items on the big tent to express their blessings to the new couple.

The ceremonial officer also had to recite the words of spreading accounts. These words sound a little indecent today, but in the Song Dynasty they were blessing words for newcomers.

".Su curtain in the middle, like mandarin ducks meeting necks, wrapped in qiluoxiang, like fish and water enjoying together, with skirts tied at the waist and full of beauty, with crimson lips cuddling together and ten delicate collections, elegantly hugging willow waists and slender, always Look at the beauty who is shy and shy, and she will be together forever, the curtain will sing long, and the joy of life will be the night."

These are the words of the account of the big family. If the people in the villages and alleys get married, the words of the account will be more vulgar and straightforward, which is to teach the newcomers how to have sex with each other.

At five o'clock, Fan Ning woke up. He slowly opened his eyes, and in front of him was a waterfall of black hair. The little girl had fallen asleep lying on top of him, still naked.

Thinking of the madness of the two of them last night, he couldn't help but smile wryly, but wedding nights should be like this!Otherwise, how could it be missed?

Fan Ning gently stroked Zhu Pei's snow-white and delicate shoulders. He had to admit that Zhu Pei had the best skin he had ever seen among women. Not only was it crystal clear, but it was also as white as suet.

Of course, in terms of appearance, his little wife is not inferior to anyone.

'Um! With a sound, Zhu Pei also woke up. She stretched her arms around her husband's neck, and said softly: "Dumb, I can't move, what should I do?"

"You should change your address! You can be a husband or an official." Fan Ning said with a wry smile.

"No! He's going to be called Dumb."

Zhu Pei twisted her body coquettishly, and Fanning's evil fire rushed straight to the top of her head, turning over and pressing her under him.

"Whatever you want! Dumb, Dumb!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
When the clouds collected and the rain rested, Fan Ning slowly sat up, his eyes suddenly widened, and there was a little lady standing beside their bed, it turned out to be Aya.

Although separated by a tent, but. ． ． ． ． ．Could it be that she has been by the side just now?

Aya's face was flushed, and she gave a salute, "Master and Madam are going to get up?"

This is the meaning of the housemaid. She usually does not avoid husband and wife sex. She sleeps outside and can be summoned at any time to serve the two masters.

Mrs. Wang explained to her in detail last night, but Aya still didn't fully understand what Mrs. Wang meant. She should actually be standing outside the door, not outside the tent.

Of course, it's normal that she still can't understand some hints that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. After all, Mrs. Wang doesn't know that she is Japanese.

"You little girl, what are you doing standing outside the tent?" Zhu Pei was so weak that she didn't bother to scold her.

Fanning didn't know what to say about her, maybe this is what she should do?Since Zhu Pei wasn't angry, she didn't have much to do. Tonight, I wanted to remind her not to stand by the bed anymore.

"Aya, pass me the clothes on the ground."

The underwear on the ground had already been packed and folded by Aya, and she handed it to Fan Ning from under the tent. Fan hurriedly put on the white silk underwear, put on his shoes on the floor, put on a dark coat, and said to Aya: "You Serve the little lady to get up!"

He stepped outside, and Zhu Pei quickly stood up and shouted, "Husband, where are you going?"

"I'm right here at the Waterside Pavilion!" Fanning's voice came from outside.

Only then did Zhu Pei get up, put on his underwear, and lightly pinched Aya's face, gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Don't be by the bed tonight, but in the outhouse, do you understand?"

Aya's pretty face suddenly flushed with embarrassment, and she realized that she had made a mistake, and she saw something she shouldn't have seen.

"I...I see." She replied flusteredly.

The weather was already a little hot, and Zhu Pei didn't comb his hair. He put on a thin gauze and came out to the water pavilion lazily.

She wasn't worried about being seen, as there were only the three of them in the entire back house.

In the inner hall, the husband was unwrapping a gift box, which seemed to be a congratulatory gift from the emperor. She asked curiously, "Husband, what is it?"

Fan Ning quickly waved to her with a smile and said, "Come and see, it's a good thing!"
