Chang'an City sleepless night!
In Chang'an City, there are almost married families in every lane today.
Most of the more than 1000 maids who left the palace were married to Chang'an city. In 108 workshops, almost every workshop is holding a wedding, and even many workshops have more than one marriage today.
On this day, all the wine shops and restaurants in Chang'an City were sold out. In addition, there is no curfew in Chang'an city today, and there are lights and decorations everywhere, which is very lively.
Many people in Chang'an city talk about that scene to their children and grandchildren from time to time until they are old. This is an unprecedented festive day in Chang'an city.
After the motorcade welcoming the relatives in Dingzhou village returned to Dingzhou village, the whole village became very noisy.
"The bride is coming, the bride is coming!" when the bear children in the village saw the wedding carriage coming back, they screamed excitedly and ran around the carriage.
Niu Yong's bride, the maid named Su Qiao, quietly opened the curtain on the carriage and wanted to see the village where she would live in the future and her future home.
At this time, although it was already dark, Li forgot to worry about making people hang angry wind lanterns and red lanterns everywhere in order to hold a happy event in the village today, which lit up the village quite brightly.
Su Qiao glanced at the village. After seeing the environment in the village, she was a little disappointed.
It was the same as two months ago when Li forgot to worry and entered Dingzhou village for the first time with his beautiful boss.
All she saw were thatched houses built of yellow mud and dilapidated courtyards
Su Qiao naturally didn't know that the reason why every family in the village still lives in such a dilapidated thatched house is that they don't have time to build a new house.
Almost all the men in the village work in the carriage shop. They are busy with business every day. For a while and a half, they can't spare time to rebuild their homes.
Therefore, every family hides nearly 100 Guan copper coins, but still lives in dilapidated old houses
Like Su Qiao, there are not many palace maids secretly watching the situation of Dingzhou village. Most of them, like Su Qiao, are somewhat disappointed after seeing the tattered appearance of Dingzhou village.
However, she was only slightly disappointed. Su Qiao and these palace maids didn't feel cheated.
As the saying goes, follow the chicken and follow the dog. In the Tang Dynasty, women are not as complicated as later women think.
Even if you marry a poor man, it's no big deal for the husband and wife to eat bran and swallow vegetables together.
Su Qiao even began to figure out how to help her husband improve his life when she went out of the palace and the 100 yuan of family allowance given by Li Er, as well as the dowry.
Li Er's marriage to a palace maid was also very generous and bleeding once.
In addition to the 100 yuan settlement fee, Li Er also prepared a valuable dowry for all married palace maids.
The book of rites is three sealed, one gold valium is sold, one profit color is sold, one thrush is woven in brown, one must be swept by the official ball, a gold suitcase, a handkerchief, five things of women's red, a red Luo Fu Dou tent, a four corner hanging sachet, and a spring stool
Su Qiao calculated silently in her heart that if these dowries were sold in Dongshi, they should also be able to return at least 100 Guan copper coins.
During her twelve years in the palace, she also saved a lot of copper money.
Palace maids also have monthly salaries in the palace, but not many. There are about copper coins every month, twelve times a year.
Over the past ten years, Su Qiao also saved fifty or sixty copper coins.
With these two or three hundred Guan coins, I'll go back and discuss with my husband. If my family is also a thatched house built of yellow mud, it's better to take out dozens of Guan and rebuild it.
My husband is now a part of Huxian Baron, but he doesn't know how much his monthly salary is. Is it enough to support his family? In the future, if there were children at home... Su Qiao sat in the carriage, thinking about these things in her heart. When she thought of the child, she blushed with shame.
Most of these palace maids had the same idea as Su Qiao. They sat in the carriage and figured out how to supplement their families with their two or three hundred copper coins.
Just thinking about things, the carriage stopped, and the noise outside came into the carriage.
Knowing that they should be at their husband's house, they quickly sorted out their green wedding clothes and picked up the feather fan in their hands to cover their faces.
However, when the curtain of the carriage was lifted, all the maids were slightly surprised. Why did the carriage stop on the threshing ground in the village?
Being led by their husband and carefully getting off the carriage, the brides were a little confused after they saw the surrounding environment through the feather fans in their hands.
Why are people still together? Shouldn't you go to your husband's house at this time?
Niu Yong seemed to see Su Qiao's question beside him, so he whispered: "madam, this is the arrangement of the husband. Er, he said it was a collective wedding."
Collective wedding ceremony? Niu Yong's words made Su Qiao more confused.
What does collective mean? Huxian man, what does this arrangement mean?
"Lang Jun means that we get married and worship together, and it's lively." Niu Yong added.
Su Qiao is more and more confused. Can we get married together?
Naturally, the word "collective" did not appear in the Tang Dynasty. What kind of collective wedding was purely Li's evil taste of forgetting worry broke out again.
Of course, Li forget worry is not for fooling around, he is also forced by helplessness.
In Dingzhou village, more than ten old soldiers and Niu brothers are going to get married in a day. Naturally, he has become a fragrant pastry, and every family wants to invite him to dinner.
Because the Niu brothers had no father and no mother, they also asked him to be the head of their wedding. Among the old soldiers, there are not a few who are alone, and there are also many who ask him to be the master wedding.
The word marriage appeared in the Tang Dynasty.
It is stipulated in the law of the Tang Dynasty · household marriage · Yijue divorce that "all marriages violate the law, and those whose grandparents and parents marry alone will be the main marriage." it means that if they marry illegally, their grandparents and parents will only be held accountable.
Although Li Qieyou is only 16 years old, as a male of Huxian County, he is also the home of the Niu brothers, and Dingzhou village is where his fief is located. Naturally, he is qualified to be the master of the marriage and preside over the marriage event.
But he's alone. He can't be split in half to attend every family's wedding and act as the chief wedding man, can he?
In a dilemma, Li forgot to worry and thought of the collective wedding of later generations.
He found the old village leader and discussed with him. He simply helped the old soldiers in the village and the cattle brothers to have a lively wedding together. He covered all the expenses.
Such a thing as a group wedding has never been heard of in China since ancient times. Old Murakami naturally shook his head and disagreed with what he said.
In order to persuade the old villager, Li forgot to worry. His mouth was almost dry, but he still didn't let the stubborn old man agree with his ideas.
He didn't expect that Xu Jingzong, a traitor, would finally help him convince Lao cunzheng
