February 16, suitable for marriage.
It has been a Chinese tradition since ancient times that men should marry and women should marry. Even emperors and women are no exception. Today is the wedding day between Merton and Princess Changle. It has been spread all over Chang'an City for a long time.
One of them is today's legitimate princess, and the other is the world-famous MOH family. Their marriage has spread all over the Tang Dynasty since their engagement on New Year's Eve, which can be said to be the concern of thousands of people.
Now the Mozi and Princess Changle are about to get married, and talented people and beautiful women will get married. It can be said that everyone is happy to see their success.
Just before dawn, the whole ink house was already brightly lit. The ink house was covered with red silk, a happy atmosphere,
The door of Mo mansion, which had been dressed up for a long time, opened with a bang. With the festive sound of gongs and drums, a long welcoming team came out. Merton, led by Merton, rode the shadow of the dead, dressed in the bridegroom's wedding clothes, and took the lead in the direction of the palace.
"The Mohist family is welcoming the wedding!" the momentum of the Mohist family naturally startled the neighbors, and people poured out of the gate to watch.
"The Mohist son is the princess of Changle, and he will be the emperor's kiss in the future."
Everyone talked and looked envious. However, no one said that Mohists attached to the royal family. After all, with Merton's reputation and talent, it was more than enough to match with the legitimate Princess of the Tang Dynasty. No one thought it was a high climb.
"Let's go!"
Merton waved his high spirited hand and said that as long as today passed, he would no longer have to be made difficult by Li Shimin.
As Merton urged his horse to move forward, Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo followed him, followed by a long line of wedding procession.
"Today we are entering the palace openly!" Chumo, the pioneer of the wedding ceremony, said excitedly.
Although he once entered the Imperial Palace, it was a pity that he was caught by Li Shimin in the chaos of Chang'an city because of the hot-air balloon flying across Chang'an city. However, this time, they entered the Imperial City openly as Merton's wedding envoy. Naturally, they are different.
Qin Huaiyu frowned and said, "today is brother Mo's wedding day. You can't hold back!"
"It's up to you," Chumo said proudly.
"But brother Mo's sedan will be very unique at that time. When my younger brother gets married, he must also make a set." Wei Chi Baolin turned to look at the sedan behind him and said with envy.
"When we pass Zhuque street, it will certainly cause a sensation." Zu Mingjun shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The people looked at each other one after another, showing an inexplicable smile. With the continuous progress of the wedding team, they soon turned to Zhuque street, which had already heard the news, and the citizens looked at it one after another.
"There are no sedan bearers in the wedding procession of mojiazi!" the sharp eyed people exclaimed when the motorcade passed Zhuque street.
Suddenly, everyone focused on Merton's wedding team, which was completely different from the traditional wedding team. They directly abandoned the sedan chair and all used the new four-wheel carriage as the wedding car.
In the center of the motorcade, a wedding car refitted with a traditional sedan chair attracts the attention of the people in Chang'an city. They can see at a glance that it must be the sedan of Princess Changle.
"The Mo family didn't even have to lift a sedan to marry Princess Changle, but used a four-wheel carriage as the wedding car." when they saw the wedding car in the center, they suddenly understood Merton's plan.
"That's ok?" an old woman wondered.
In the traditional wedding, for thousands of years, people have used eight lift sedans to marry the bride. Even ordinary people also carry wedding sedans to welcome the bride into the door. However, mojiazi broke this tradition and abandoned the eight lift sedans carried by people, but converted them into wedding cars with new four-wheel carriages, which has never been done before.
"Of course, a sedan chair invited several people to carry it. How cheap it was at that time. The new four-wheel carriage in Mojia village is the best carriage in Chang'an city. It's very valuable. It's grand to replace the sedan chair with a four-wheel carriage." a rich man said proudly on his face. From the pomp of the welcoming team, the welcoming team and rows of four-wheel carriages of Mojia village are even more grand, And doubled in value.
"But I used to use eight lift sedans to marry a bride." an old woman frowned.
"Batai Dajiao has nothing to sit on. She bumped my body in those years. Where is a four-wheel carriage comfortable?" a middle-aged woman said.
Suddenly, many women nodded subconsciously. With the continuous promotion of four-wheel carriages in Chang'an City, traditional sedan chairs have less and less appeared in the streets of Chang'an city. Gradually, rich households in Chang'an City rarely use sedan chairs. All of them use four-wheel carriages, which are as comfortable as sedan chairs, but more convenient.
However, there was only one period when the custom of taking a sedan chair did not change, that is, when getting married, you need to use eight big sedans to welcome the bride.
However, today, the Mohist family broke this Convention and directly used a four-wheel carriage and sedan chair to refit into the first wedding car to marry Princess Changle.
"Yes, Mojia village is famous for its four-wheel carriage in the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, it should use the four-wheel carriage as the wedding car." some people disapprove of Merton's use of the four-wheel carriage as the wedding car.
"Moreover, this four-wheel carriage is not only comfortable, but also fast!" the citizens of Chang'an city looked at the fast-moving wedding procession.
In addition to the top five people riding high headed horses, the other welcoming teams in Mo mansion are basically replaced by four-wheel carriages. Without the drag of the sedan bearer walking, the speed of the whole welcoming team is fast. This is also the reason why Merton and others control the speed and wait for the auspicious time. If they let go of the speed and run wildly, I'm afraid they will arrive before the palace in a short time.
Looking at the passing luxury motorcade, many unmarried young people in Chang'an city can't help but shine their eyes. If they use such a motorcade to marry the bride at their wedding, what a scenery it will be.
Many budget conscious people have calculated an account. If all four-wheel carriages are used as wedding carriages to greet the wedding, I'm afraid it's more cost-effective to rent eight sedans and sedans. More importantly, it's faster and more beautiful. After all, the value of this fleet is not only valuable, but also shows the sincerity of marrying a bride.
"I'm afraid the marriage custom in Chang'an city will change after today." a Chang'an citizen sighed when he looked at the reaction of the people.
They believe that after mojiazi marries Princess Changle with a wedding car, Chang'an city will surely follow suit. Since then, the use of a wedding car in Chang'an city will certainly become a new custom.
