Di Daughter's Interpretation

Chapter 86

Two days before getting married, Tan Ying dismissed the maid and told Xie Yu about the "Rites of the Duke of Zhou", "...men bow down to women...the principles of heaven and earth...the harmony of yin and yang, the order of the universe...the harmony of a couple, how beautiful they are." Children and grandchildren." Tan Ying spoke hesitantly and half-concealed.Xieyu listened carefully from the beginning to the end. If you want to say that sex education in this era is still relatively backward, this is not detailed at all, and it does not have much guiding significance.

Tan Ying took out the exquisite booklet by the assistant artist, "Here, take a good look at it." It was a bit embarrassing to say.Xie Yu took it calmly and put it next to the pillow, "Is it Zhou Gong's gift? I'll read it at night when no one is around." Tan Ying hurriedly stuffed the booklet under the pillow, and said, "Don't let others see it. "How can such a thing be placed beside the pillow casually.

Xie Yu smiled and said nothing.Marriage in this era requires "six ceremonies", namely Nacai, Asking Names, Najib, Nazheng, Asking for a Date, and Greeting in person. This is the revised etiquette of Confucius.In fact, when Zhou Gongjidan first set the wedding procedure, there were seven rituals. In addition to the above six rituals, there was also the seventh ritual-Dun Lun.Dunlun is the relationship between harmonious couples, and it contains the intention of guiding newlyweds to behave according to etiquette, and it is also an elegant name for intercourse.Dunlun is an important ceremony in marriage etiquette, and it is a matter of course for couples to Dunlun.

Tan Ying explained again, "You must be gentle and obedient, be filial to your elders, and respect your husband and son-in-law." Xie Yu replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Wuji and I will respect and love each other and live in harmony." Tan Ying sighed He took a deep breath, "Speaking of which, Wuji is really a good boy with a sincere heart, he will treat you well, your father and I can rest assured."

Since you are relieved, why do you sigh?Xie Yu felt that after Tan Ying finished speaking, there would be a "but" after her.Sure enough, Tan Ying looked at Xie Yu affectionately, and said softly, "It's a common practice for young masters to be served by maids like Caifan and Caiping. I think Caifan and Caiping are honest and responsible. Yes, choose one of them, if you are inconvenient..." There is no other way, you have to act virtuous.

Xie Yu smiled and said, "It's easy, just give him whichever he likes." Zhang Wuji, let me see if you dare to ask for it.If you really want it, just wait for me!

Tan Ying smiled gratifiedly, Xie Yu is really sensible!After explaining many things in detail, Tan Ying just left. "Is this considered sex education and pre-marital guidance for girls before they get married?" Xie Yu shook his head.Then the bearded man will also have sex education and pre-marital guidance before marriage, right?I don't know what it's like.It's a pity that the nanny Li Nanny guarded her yard day and night in the past few days before she got married, and she couldn't see the bearded man.

The neighbors are indeed doing this work at this very moment.Mrs. Li was so busy a few days ago that she lost her head, and now that everything is settled, she realized that "Brother Xi doesn't even have a housemate!" Not only does he not have one now, he has never had one!How can this make Mrs. Li sweat, and the groom is still a boy, if he doesn't know what to do on the wedding night...?It's a shame.Mrs. Li urgently ordered "choose two girls with beautiful appearance and gentle temperament from among the children in the family, and send them to Brother Xi's room."

Zhang Yu refused to take it. "It's too ugly." He said lightly, and walked away, chatting and drinking tea with Shen Mai.Mrs. Li was dumbfounded, is this ugly?These two girls are about the same age as a flower, their complexion is jade, their eyes are like spring water, their small waists are not enough to hold, they are very cute.These are clearly two pretty beauties, why does Brother Xi still call them ugly?This kid has too high a vision.

"Go and pick again, be sure to pick a stunning one!" Li Shi ordered.Nanny Yu beside Mrs. Li said with a smile, "I don't know if I should say it or not. If you say stunning, the girl Caifeng next to Mrs. Tai is really stunning! Miss Caifeng is 16 years old this year. If you say it is the right age, I just don't know. Mrs. Tai is not willing to part with it." Cai Xi is in charge of Mrs. Tai's precious utensils, she is as careful as a hair, and handles affairs properly, she is a big girl who must be used by Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Li lowered her head and thought for a while.If it was Brother Xi in the past, he was mischievous and self-willed, and he was not welcome by others, I am afraid that Mrs. Tai would not be willing to pick the lentils and would not give it to him; if Brother Xi is obedient, motivated, courteous and sensible, Mrs. Tai loves him very much recently, I'm afraid yes.Mrs. Li ordered her mother, "Go and ask Mrs. Tai for instructions."

After receiving the instructions, Nanny Yu hurried back to Jingninghou's Mansion to handle this urgent errand.Mrs. Tai heard what happened before and after, and said repeatedly, "Take it quickly! Take it quickly!" Brother Xi is a silly boy, and his old man is also confused!

Nanny Yu didn't expect things to go so smoothly, she was overjoyed, thanked Mrs. Tai, and hurried to Dangyang Road with Caiqi.We are going to get married in the future, it is imminent!
At dusk, Yue Pei returned to Jingninghou's mansion, and was scolded by Mrs. Tai, "How can you be such a father!" Brother Xi, you didn't bring him back to the mansion, and you didn't take good care of him. You must have wronged the child.There is not even a serving person around, what does it look like. "If you listened to me and brought Brother Xi back to the mansion to raise him early, how could there be such a thing? Even if you don't bring it back, you should pay attention to everything, and you can't let Brother Xi lack this or that. .” The more Mrs. Tai complained, the more angry she became.

Mrs. Tai was counting down, and Nanny Yu sent Caiji back dejectedly.Caijin's face was pale, Mrs. Tai knew something was wrong, and ordered Caijin to "go back and rest".After Caijin saluted and retreated, Mrs. Tai frowned and asked, "What's going on?" The last two were unattractive, but this one can be called a stunning beauty, so it can't be said that she is unattractive.

Nanny Yu said vaguely, "Brother Yu doesn't want it." Mrs. Tai's eyes turned cold, and the big girl close to her grandmother gave him a reward, but he didn't want it!It was only said that he was more polite and sensible now, and then... Mrs. Tai gently ordered the nanny to step down, and did not ask any more questions.

Yue Pei smiled and said, "Wuji is straightforward, mother must not argue with him. Mother, you don't know, Wuji really worries his son to death. Since he was sixteen or seventeen years old, how many beauties his son has given him, all of them are taken care of by him." Back off." Apart from Xie Yu, there was no other girl he liked.

Mrs. Tai looked at her eldest son who was seasoned and well-behaved as an official, and said, "You are too used to him. Everything is up to his temper. How can you make it happen? To be a father, you have to look like a father. How did your father behave?" Taught you?" Is it also so pampering? "A spoiled child is like killing a child", what can be done by spoiling a child.

Yue Pei laughed and said, "Mother taught me that. The son listens to his mother's teachings and never coddles him again. If he is still naive, he should be tied up and beaten severely." The stick makes a filial son.

Mrs. Tai hurriedly said, "Why bother. The child is young and naive, and there are times when he makes troubles. Why should he be rough with him? It's time to reason with him slowly." The son wants to fight again.Alas, my eldest son is good at everything, but he doesn't care about children.

Yue Pei agreed with a smile, "What mother said is very true, and my son obeys." Mrs. Tai sighed, "Brother Xi's wedding day, let his sisters-in-law and sisters go to warm up the new house and help him. "A good grandson can't recognize him, so where can he go to reason.But even if you can't recognize them and are connected by blood, you still have to take care of them.

Yue Pei agreed even more happily, and Mimi smiled very happily.Mrs. Tai snorted, "I know you are partial to Brother Yu! It's just that Brother Ting is also your own, the grandson of the Jingning Hou Mansion, you should also take care of his marriage!" Brother Luo is still young When I was two years old, I was about to get married.Poor brother Ting is such a good child, the marriage has not yet been settled.

Ting'er, does he still miss Xie Yu now?Yue Peilue lost his mind.If he still cares about Xie Yu, then...?This is very worrying.Yue Ji has been married for many years and only has one daughter, Yue Ting refuses to marry, let alone Yue Zhan and Yue Hai, who are still too young. "Mother, my son also wants to embrace his grandson as soon as possible, thinking about it day and night." Yue Pei sighed, his voice full of melancholy.

The boss of Mrs. Tai couldn't bear it, so she comforted him softly for a long time, "You will be busy in the future, go back and rest." Yue Pei smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the dowry, so you have to start busy." Mrs. Tai was stunned Don't worry, if it's an ordinary dowry, Yue Pei probably wouldn't say that; for a family like An's family, wouldn't the dowry be very rich?Anjia has no foundation.

After taking the dowry list from Yue Pei and looking at it carefully, Mrs. Tai nodded, "The An family loves their daughter very much." The dowry is not so extravagant for the young ladies of ordinary duke families.There are four shops in Dingfu Street alone, as well as 2 mu of high-quality fertile land, [-] taels of bank notes, and countless gold, silver and jewels.The bride can live comfortably even with her own dowry.

"The new sister-in-law is so rich!" Dangyang Road was full of red and festive, Yue Wen and Yue Xue stood side by side, looking at the long row of dowry covered with fiery red cloth, and exclaimed in admiration.Yue Xue smiled slightly, "Sister-in-law is an only daughter, and her uncles and aunts must love her very much." You can tell from the dowry, sister-in-law must be a sweetheart in her natal family.

When she arrives at her in-law's house, she will also be a sweetheart.Brother Wuji is silly and happy all day long, apparently overjoyed; his father has always doted on Brother Wuji, and Ai Wu and Wu will also look at his new sister-in-law with special respect.The new sister-in-law is very lucky!Yue Xue thought enviously.

On April [-]th, Xie Yu was woken up early in the morning, and then he was played by Mrs. Hu Dudu like a puppet: he opened his face, put on makeup, put on wedding clothes, and ate two glutinous rice balls symbolically, "round complete".Xie Yu had nothing to do, and looked at himself in the mirror: he was all red, very gorgeous, very festive; not only was he all red, but most of the things in the room were red and beaming.His eyes were fiery red, and he heard the laughter and auspicious words in his ears, Xie Yu felt very rich and stable.

"The welcoming team has arrived!"

"Brother Shao blocked the door, and the groom and the official are not allowed to come in!" Shouted loudly, "Don't marry my sister!"

"Brother Shao is so happy, he got a lot of big red envelopes! He can't even hug him!"

"The groom and the official are meeting with Mrs. Madam in the hall."

Xie Yu smiled.Little Ru Shao took a few red envelopes and agreed to marry her sister, which is really coaxing.
