Northern Dynasties

Chapter 463

As the welcoming team returned smoothly, under the witness of all relatives and friends, the couple finished paying respects in Qinglu, and then were sent into the bridal chamber amidst laughter and blessings.

At this time, the night was quite dark, and after watching the ceremony, all the guests enjoyed the banquet under the hospitality of the host's acquaintances.But the wedding procedure belonging to a couple is not over yet, and still needs to be continued in the bridal chamber.

The layout of the mansion that Daxingtai rewarded was grand, and the father-in-law, Dugu Xin, carefully planned and personally supervised the work year after year, made the mansion look brand new, and it was gorgeous and warm and livable everywhere.

In the inner hall, the concubine Li Zhihua of Feng Yi and the ladies of various families greeted the bride in person, while Li Tai stopped in front of the hall, and waited until the bride was seated at the table and the prison food had been properly arranged before singing slowly. Walking into the hall, he was guided to sit in the mat opposite the bride.

Right now, there is still less than half a quarter of an hour before the auspicious time for the next step, so the new couple can only sit still.

The so-called etiquette family, in Li Tai's view, means a lot of messy rules.

His aunt, as the youngest daughter of Li Chong, has the status of Tianshan Child Elder in the family of all the aristocrats. She has brought red tape to the extreme when preparing for the wedding of her own children. The regulations and time of each step are double-checked. Before that, Li Licheng had been After a lot of tossing, it was upgraded to 2.0 when it came to Li Tai, and some adjustments were made to the previous omissions and a little hasty.

During the waiting period, Li Tai noticed that some of the noble ladies in the hall showed great interest in the furnishings in the hall, and each of them looked at some of the utensils and displayed them either intently or lingeringly. These are all potential customers ah!

Li Licheng's wedding was turned into a show with goods, and the consumption of luxury goods in Beijing and China surged year after year.Now that Li Tai, the leader of the trend, gets married by himself, of course, he can't lose his momentum. Adhering to the principle of not being rare, not strange, not beautiful, not coincidental, the burning dragon and phoenix candles in the hall are particularly eye-catching.

The bridal chamber is brightly lit, and Yaner dances lightly.The custom of flower candles in the bridal chamber had already been practiced in the Southern Dynasties, but at this time the flower candles were still very simple in terms of shape and technique.

Although Li Tai didn't know the technique, he opened his mouth and introduced it to the artisans at home in detail and made many requests. It took several months to create this dragon and phoenix flower candle with glittering golden lacquer and fragrant fragrance. People are like dimensionality reduction blows.

Now that the children of these upstart and wealthy families in Kansai are at the age of marriage, the demand for luxury goods in the wedding market is naturally strong.

After a life of running around and working hard, the greatest need is not to be decent, but there is no upper limit to being decent. Li Tai was stabbed in the back by his Boshan girls and almost failed to bring the bride back. Of course I have to make a lot of money at their weddings to vent my anger. What kind of brother is he who doesn't cut leeks?
Withdrawing his gaze from looking around, Li Tai looked at the young lady opposite, just as the young lady's pair of beautiful eyes were staring at him through the gauze fan, the bright eyes were full of mist and affection, seeing Li Tai's exchanges, she was so busy that she felt ashamed She timidly turned away, and after a few breaths, she turned back, with a seductive charm flowing from the corners of her brows and eyes.

After a while, with the crisp sound of the copper leak, finally the auspicious time came again, and the next procedure could be carried out, which is to untie the tassel and cool the fan.

"Book of Rites" has "Women Xu marry with tassels", that is, to tie their hair with colorful tassel belts to show that they are already famous and beautiful, and they need to be untied by their husband-in-law at the wedding on the day of marriage.As for the fan, it was a custom in the Southern Dynasties at the end of the Jin Dynasty, and now it is gradually becoming popular in the families of Gongqing in the Northern Dynasties.

Most of the etiquette and customs in the world are like this.For example, after the later generations untied their hair, they had to tie their hair in a bun, which was judged by the people of the Song Dynasty as being extremely inappropriate, and it gradually became a custom because the family of the princes promoted it.

In later generations, many etiquette and customs have become a good project for unscrupulous wedding companies to charge more money, and the subject matter of many dog ​​UP dog authors who confuse the number of words in their videos.

As the little lady removed the gauze fan that covered her face, Li Tai also quickly put away the thoughts of complaining in his heart, and looked at the past intently.

Under the blazing gaze, the little lady became even more shy, with her head drooping, her eyes restrained, her brows as bright as warm jade, like flowers, pink cheeks and cherry lips, bright eyes and white teeth, a slender bridge of nose, and a soft and beautiful face. Although the chin is heavily made up, it does not damage the original quality, and it is beautiful in every way.

cough, cough.

Two light coughs woke up Li Tai from his trance, he hastily picked up the porcelain bowl and jade chopsticks on the table, took the long-divided prison meat on the plate, put it in front of the lady, and said with a smile: "Miss please eat."

"Husband, husband, please eat."

The little lady also responded this time, the husband and wife sat opposite each other, raising their eyebrows together, and eating together in prison.

When the goblet cup was taken out of the brocade box, its luxurious and exquisite material and shape caused the lady in charge of the ceremony here to let out a short exclamation.

These utensils were brought by the bride's family as a dowry. Li Taixun looked at his reputation and couldn't help feeling that his father-in-law was really generous. The cup was made of pure gold and inlaid with all kinds of cut and polished precious stones. It was even more beautiful under the light of the candlelight Colorful flow, extremely gorgeous.

After drinking the wine together, the ladies of Zhu Si Li laughed and left with auspicious words on their mouths, leaving the home court to a couple of new couples.

After the idlers left, Li Tai stood up and stretched his waist. Immediately, he heard a series of jingling bells in his ears, and saw the little lady slightly sideways in the banquet, with an awkward expression. He made a defensive posture with his arms on his chest, and he couldn't help smiling.

Miaoyin made this gesture subconsciously, and immediately regretted overreacting, and feared that her husband might misunderstand, she whispered anxiously and panickedly: "I, my concubine is not afraid of my husband, it's just, it's just that the new things in the curtain are too unfamiliar and too Shy..."

Li Tai saw that she was shy and nervous, she was not as cheerful and lively as usual, so he sat down again, and when he raised his hand to reach out to the little lady, the little lady covered her face with her hands and turned away shyly, making a noise like a mosquito He reminded: "There are eyes and ears in the room..."

But Li Tai's hand only fell on her hair topknot with lots of jewelry, and asked with a smile: "Are you tired? It's been a day."

The little lady was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she pursed her mouth a little bit aggrieved, and before she could open her mouth, she let out a few soft grunts from her stomach, and immediately became even more ashamed, and turned around with her arms around her belly Turning his back to Li Tai, he said in a muffled voice after a while: "I'm tired and hungry, those few mouthfuls of prison food are not enough, and I've even drawn out my hunger!"

When Li Tai heard this, he raised his hand to the maids in the hall and went outside to get some food, but the maids who came over as a dowry were a little confused about the temperament of the lord and hesitated, and said hesitantly: "Lang, lord, If you eat too much on the wedding night, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will hinder the affairs of the curtain..."

Li Tai immediately rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and just said: "My lady is exhausted from all the rituals today, just eat properly today, don't worry about anything else."

The maidservant hurriedly responded after hearing this, and the other maidservants were also dismissed by Li Tai's hand, so they didn't have to stand here anymore.

"Fu Lang is so nice!"

When the little lady heard that there was going to be something to eat, she immediately regained some energy. She turned around and approached Li Tai. Carefully avoid contact.

Seeing the shy look of this little lady, Li Tai naturally understood that she had obviously received some pre-marriage personnel education, and was so shocked that her mind was sensitive and disturbed, and even some intimacy became restrained.

He will not be in a hurry to ask for the truth of husband and wife, as the elder of the couple, of course he has the obligation to alleviate this embarrassment, so he raised his hand to hold the little lady's catkin, seeing that she was like a frightened deer, he moved He said with a smile: "Although the ceremony of Dunlun is the beginning of human nature, it is also necessary to pay attention to a natural timing when it is ripe.

Forming a marriage with my wife today is the result of love, and it is also the expectation of relatives and friends.But today's lady still has short teeth and tender bones, and it's not yet a year of breaking melons.My wife and I will stay together all year round, so there is no need to be impatient. "

When Mrs. Miaoyin heard this, she first showed a look of relief, and then she was moved again, no longer the previous coercion, she went straight to Li Tai's arms, and whispered in her mouth: "I only know the many private affairs of being a bride before marriage. Husband Everyone compares me to being lucky in life, but I'm still naive... I'm not afraid of getting close to my husband, but I'm afraid that if he reveals himself in the curtain, he will see that I am not as enchanting as other girls..."

Young and young Ai's thoughts are the most difficult to guess. Hearing that this little lady still has such worries and entanglements, Li Tai couldn't laugh or cry for a while, so he could only pat her fragrant shoulders to comfort her. .

It was supposed to be a beautiful wedding night, but because of the early love and early marriage, Li Tai became a physiology teacher for the whole night, to popularize the developmental knowledge of different ages for this little lady, so she whispered until almost dawn. I couldn't hold it any longer, so I put on the couch and hugged each other to sleep.

On the second day after the wedding, it was natural to pay homage to Weng Gu, but Li Tai's parents were not in Kansai. Although there were other parents, they all kept things simple and only got together at home.

Miaoyin has suddenly changed from a young lady in the pavilion to a big wife, and she is very excited about this change of status. After some finishing touches after the wedding are over, she immediately has to start handling housework.

Li Tai only had a few days of leisure because of his marriage, so he accompanied the little lady at home. The first thing he had to do was to arrange for the government officials to count the gifts before and after the wedding.

Among them, it took nearly two days to count the dowry given by the father-in-law Duguxin, and it was not until late at night on the eve of returning home that the count was completed, and there was also a surprise or a shock.

"Wow, ah, sister, I'm hungry... Brother, brother, he lied to me and locked me in a paint cage for so long!"

Li Tai looked at this sister-in-law who was only five or six years old, covering her face and kicking her legs and crying, and secretly rejoiced in her heart, thanks to his wife, a little money fan, who had just passed the door and was going to check the dowry, so she really had to be locked in the warehouse for ten days In half a month, Li Yuan and his family may be gone.
