I am Da Song

Chapter 346

Tokyo is very lively today. Emperor Yijia returned to Beijing and captured enemy chieftains to sacrifice to the Taimiao. The country is immersed in the joy of victory in military development and forging ahead.

As for Anzhou Lane, it was even more joyous today, with a lot of traffic, and crowds of spectators crowded the long street.

Although Anzhou Lane is in the outer city, it is one of the most prosperous areas in the North City. To the north is the North Korean Embassy (Korea Embassy), and to the south is the former residence of Cai Jing, which is now the headquarters of Zhuqi Bank.

It can be said that all the people who can live here are high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Song Dynasty, who are either wealthy or the chief officials of real power departments.

Any happy event is full of guests, lively and grand.

And what made the entire Anzhou Lane extremely festive today was the wedding at Taichangcheng Su Jing's family.

In the Song Dynasty, the orthodox customs of the Central Plains were extremely prosperous.

There are three books and six rituals for marriage, and innocent people will never miss any process.

From the time of adoption, that is, when the man invites the matchmaker to propose marriage to the chosen bride's family, the long process of the wedding has already begun.

Welcoming relatives and worshiping are just the most solemn ceremonies for the man.

For the woman, the most solemn, the most face-saving, and the best way to show the good marriage between Qin and Jin is the part of Nazheng.

This is the most lively scene in Anzhou Alley today. The man came to the door wearing a letter of appointment and a letter of ceremony.

"Book of Rites Shihun Li": "The person who accepts the levy is also the one who accepts the money. The levy is also successful. First accept the money and then get married."

Basically, when the woman accepts the letter of appointment and letter of ceremony, the marriage is considered to be concluded.

In the prosperous and prosperous Song Dynasty, weddings paid attention to grand ceremony.

Ten miles of red makeup is a tradition that has been popular since the Song Dynasty.

Women's dowry is as long as ten miles, and men's dowry is also not too small.

In particular, the person who came to propose marriage was the Zhang family, the comfort envoy of Sichuan Economic Strategy, so it was more about a card.

Under the reform of the Song Dynasty's political system, each road has three divisions.They are the Xuanfu Envoy Division in charge of government affairs, the Prison Division in charge of criminal names, and the Economic and Strategic Appeasement Division in charge of military affairs.

As a high-ranking official responsible for all military and political affairs such as recruiting, retiring, training, and supplying soldiers along the way, the economic and strategic appeasement envoy has a high position and authority. He handles nearly tens of millions of wealth every year, and countless businessmen line up to give him gifts.The traces of wealth revealed in his hands are astronomical figures for ordinary people.

So the Su family solemnly invited all the guests, relatives in the clan, old friends from the court, relatives and friends, to come to watch the ceremony in a lively manner.

The betrothal gift team had already arrived at Anzhou Lane, and the vast Shenglong's betrothal gifts were placed from the front of the Su Mansion to outside Anzhou Lane.

The unprecedented wealth of the Great Song Dynasty made this scale of betrothal gift, not to mention that the ancients had never seen it, even the people in the capital had never seen it.

The money described in "The Peacock Flies to the Southeast" is 300 million yuan, all of which are worn with black silk.Three hundred pieces of miscellaneous colors were handed over to Guangzhou City for salmon treasures.From four to five hundred people, Yu Yudeng Junmen.

In front of this dowry, it is simply too shabby.

The man's betrothal gift alone is 1000 guan, which is equivalent to [-] million yuan.Shu brocade, silk, silk satin and so on are as many as thousands of pieces.

The smooth and bright silk glistens in the warm sunshine, attracting the envy of countless people.

The recruiting team has been waiting here all afternoon, but they don't have many complaints.

They also knew that it wasn't that the Su Mansion was deliberately ignoring them, but that the day of the appointment was really unlucky.

When the date was set, no one would have expected that today would coincide with the return of the official family to Beijing.

As the Taichang Cheng who is in charge of court etiquette, Mr. Su family is so busy today that he has to preside over the welcome ceremony and sacrifice to the Taimiao.

Moreover, after the Su family became the prime minister, a large number of members of the clan worked in the capital, and on this day they had to be on duty in various monasteries.You can't wait in Fuchu for the first time.

Fortunately, weddings are all held at dusk, which means that the yang is going and the yin is coming.

Everyone waited patiently for Master Su to finish handling the affairs of the court and return to the mansion to preside over the wedding.

On this festive day, even if an official comes back to Beijing, the dowry process will not be delayed.

But when both inside and outside were festive and lively, the hostess of the wedding was still hiding in the garden of the inner courtyard, fiddling with the metal instruments by the pool seriously, and there were streaks of soot on her pink cheeks.

The hot water in the burning stove next to her was bursting with steam, making a fine layer of sweat appear on her forehead.

"Oh! My third sister, today is your day of great joy, why are you still playing with your messy utensils?"

An anxious voice sounded from the side.

Su Dai raised her head, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves stained with soot, and saw that the person who came was her eldest sister, Su Wan.

Su Dai said seriously: "This is not a mess, big sister, didn't you hear the sound of chug chug?"

"I heard it, what's the point?"

"Don't you think the sound is pleasant? It means the machine is running well and the steam is smooth and steady."

"My third sister! Are you stunned? Can you still hear a chug-chug noise? No matter how stable the machine is, what is it compared to your marriage? If Daddy comes back Seeing your slovenly appearance, I have to be furious and reprimand you."

Su Dai sighed deeply, put down the tools in her hands, and looked at the complex machine that she designed and built with her own hands, feeling lonely and reluctant.

My two years of hard work, the energy and sculpting day and night, can I only stop here?
Seeing that Su Dai's eyes were red, Su Wan felt reluctant to give up, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, at worst, I'll hire someone to send this vessel to Sichuan for you, and you can continue to carve in Sichuan."

Su Dai shook her head. It's pointless. Once she gets married, she will focus on caring for her husband and raising her children.What's more, how can the husband's family want their daughter-in-law to be slovenly in the inner courtyard, playing with some strange tricks?

"Third sister, why are you so unhappy? But why are you dissatisfied with the fourth son of Zhang Jinglue's family? If you don't want to, you must tell me. Even if I make my father unhappy, I will argue with you. Our family has not yet accepted the letter of appointment and letter of ceremony from the Zhang family. This marriage can still be declined. If Dad accepts the letter of appointment, there will be no room for regret."

Su Dai sat under the gazebo beside the pool, looked at the machines that were protruding by the pool, and said weakly: "It's not that I have any dissatisfaction with Brother Zhang. He is very nice, handsome and personable. But it's just a feeling, We don't seem to be from the same world, and it's hard for us to understand each other."

Su Wan sat across from Su Dai, took Su Dai's hand, and said earnestly, "Sister, how many people in this world can understand what you study all day long? Which couple doesn't start with being in love with each other?"

How many people in this world can understand?
Su Dai's mind flashed the figure under the sun, that eloquent and ambitious elder brother.

Until now, two years later, Su Dai recalled that when he bluntly supported his dream, he felt that his whole body seemed to be shining brightly.

If there is one person in this world who can know my mind, it must be him!
