Chapter 615

The post Qin State has always regarded itself as the descendant of the great Qin Empire, so it has inherited the tradition of the great Qin Empire in many aspects, and the wedding process is no exception. As the old and young of the Qin Empire lived in the south for a longer time, various customs and habits gradually integrated into some local color, so there were some changes.

In the custom of the post Qin Dynasty, before the wedding ceremony, the first thing to do is to ask the matchmaker, that is, the man's home should invite some respected elders as the matchmaker for the proposal. When the matchmaker holds the wedding ceremony, he will become the witness of the wedding. After asking the media, it is to ask for marriage. The matchmaker takes the man's parents to the woman's home to ask for marriage. At this time, the man should prepare the bride price. Sometimes, the bride price is the key to move the woman. If the woman is not satisfied with the man, then the marriage is over. If the woman is satisfied, then accept the bride price.

The bride price is accepted by the woman, but it does not mean that the marriage has been settled. Next, the man has to visit the woman's home in person. Of course, the matchmaker will bring it. This procedure is called matchmaking. When a man goes to his wife's house, he has to perform well, so that his future father-in-law and his mother-in-law can be satisfied. Some enlightened women's homes even let their daughters secretly look at the man behind. This is the most important procedure for the success of the whole wedding. If this procedure is passed, then the marriage is basically completed, and the rest is just the procedure.

After the marriage, the parents of both parties should be interviewed, that is, to set the date of marriage, and to inform the countryside at the same time. This is in order to avoid conflicts caused by anyone proposing to the woman again. In this period of time, according to the custom of Daqin, the man and the woman could not meet until the wedding night. But now, no one abides by this rule, which is also the result of assimilation of local customs.

In the morning, the matchmaker will be sent to the bride's home from the first to the second day. Then he went back to the man's home from the original road. After worshipping heaven and earth's parents, he became a real husband and wife. And then a banquet was held, but from this day until the bride returned to her mother's home three days later, the bride's family members were unable to show up at the man's house.

The real custom of Daqin, the whole wedding can be said to be very cumbersome, including the bride price should have three livestock and three fish, as well as the gift money should be how much, the choice of the wedding date, the composition of the wedding team, without a year or two, it is absolutely impossible to complete. And now into the southern customs, after Qin's wedding customs will be much more brief.

The marriage between Li Yuanhe and Gu lianniang is more special. First of all, Li Yuanhe has no elder in his family, so he can barely count Kong De as Li Yuanhe's elder. Fortunately, the third prince, Ying Zhen, has already agreed to be the matchmaker for Li Yuan and his wedding. However, the most important role has been solved. Otherwise, Kong De would not be able to play the role of father and matchmaker.

Secondly, Gu lianniang's mother's family is not in Biancheng, and guxincheng, Gu lianniang's only relative, will not come to Biancheng to attend Gulian Niang's wedding. And now Gu lianniang has already lived in Li Yuanhe's house. If it had been put in the original Qin Empire, it would have been immoral. Fortunately, most of the people Li Yuanhe contacted were soldiers, so they turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.

Li Yuanhe discussed with Kong Ling for a long time on the issue of Gu lianniang's mother's family. In the end, Li Yuanhe only temporarily regarded Kong's family as Gu lianniang's mother's home. At that time, Li Yuanhe took the bride to his own house from Kong's house.

We managed to solve all these problems, and the first half of the wedding process, including matchmaking, marriage proposal, and marriage matching, were all omitted. However, Li Yuanhe did not forget to send a betrothal gift to Chuancheng through the influence of the Yan family, which was also regarded as an appointment to the Gu family, which made the old city look better.

At the beginning, those who followed Li Yuan and those who survived in the South also received Li Yuanhe's invitation. At present, most of them have become officers and officers in all parts of the post Qin state. Although they can't compare with the promotion speed of Li Yuanhe, the reward given by the imperial court is not small. Among them, the lowest level of them are official officers from the ninth grade. In this way, Li Yuan and his previous commitment to them were finally fulfilled, and the battle for their lives was not wasted.

It can be said that these officers and men have reached a kind of admiration complex for Li Yuanhe, so after receiving Li Yuanhe's invitation, they all came from their respective camps. Some of them are still far away in the border areas, but with the third prince's personal guarantee, they can all go back to Biancheng smoothly without fear of being punished.

In addition to these vanguard soldiers, Wang Ye and Wang Qiong escorted Yan Duoqi, the head of Yan's family, to Biancheng six days before the wedding. Of course, they came to Bian city not only to attend Li Yuanhe's wedding, but also to prepare for Danube city. Wang Ye and Wang Qiong have successfully defeated several counter attacks of Dachang army. Now Dachang is no longer able to attack Danube, so the Wang brothers can return to Biancheng. Yan Duoqi, as the head of Nanman Kingdom, won Yan after coming to court. After all, after all, after the restoration of Nanman state, according to the previous agreement, Nanman state would become a subsidiary state of post Qin state. As the leader of the state, Yan Duoqi also had to come to Biancheng to sign a treaty with Yingyan.In addition, because of the matchmaker of the third prince, Li Yuanhe's marriage also made Bian Cheng's big and small forces attach great importance to it. Although Li Yuanhe didn't send invitation cards to those who were not close to each other, they also sent congratulatory gifts, including several other princes besides the eldest prince. It is also well known that the big prince and Li Yuanhe had a festival, so Li Yuanhe was not surprised.

But Li Yuanhe was a little hot with the gifts from the other princes. At the suggestion of Kong Ling, Li Yuanhe immediately took those gifts to the third prince's house to report to Yingzhen. However, Ying Zhen did not blame Li Yuanhe. Instead, he asked Li Yuanhe to accept the gifts with a smile. At least, on the surface, Ying Zhen had no doubts about Li Yuanhe's loyalty.

On the day of the wedding, Li's house was already bustling and bustling in the early morning, and the guests had already gathered in the mansion. Most of them were the generals and soldiers who had followed Li Yuan and went down to the south. Naturally, they were very familiar with each other. Li Yuanhe and other people close to Kong Ling were waiting in the inner courtyard, waiting for the news that Ying Zhen arrived at the Confucius Mansion, so as to start at any time.

At the moment, Li Yuan and a red robe and a red gauze hat on his head. In peacetime, he was quite different in armor. However, Li Yuanhe didn't care at all. He just looked at the door eagerly from time to time, and kept muttering something in his mouth. Li Yuan and this pair of appearance, but see nearby Kong Ling Ha ha smile, said: "elder brother! Don't worry! In the future, my sister-in-law will be with you for the rest of her life. Why do you have to worry about this moment and a half? "

Li Yuanhe's face turned red when he was ridiculed by Kong Ling. However, he knew that he must have said that he couldn't do it. He just glared at Kong Ling and said, "don't look at you so relaxed now. When you get married, I'll see how calm you are! You won't give me face then

"Ha ha!" Kong Ling didn't care about Li Yuanhe's threat. He poured a glass of wine as if nothing had happened. He poured it and drank it himself. He said with a smile, "let's wait until then. Besides, don't underestimate my younger brother. How can I say that my younger brother is also a scholar who has read the book of sages and sages. Naturally, I can be more calm than my elder brother! "

"Ha ha ha ha! okay! All right Kong De, who was accompanied by him, also laughed. As the father of the man today, he naturally wanted to stay in Li's mansion. Anyway, there were three princes sitting in the town to send the bride. In addition, he had Qian Bo to take care of everything, so he didn't have to worry. "Don't make trouble with your two brothers. Yuanhe, you are going to have a family today. You should be more stable. Don't be so impulsive as before."

What Kong De said naturally refers to the incident that Li Yuanhe led troops to the South without authorization. Later, he was shocked by Li Yuanhe's boldness. After all, now the Kong family and Li Yuanhe are the same, both prosperous and damaged. If Li Yuanhe was convicted of this, they would not be much better. Fortunately, in the end, everything was developing in a good direction. Li Yuanhe not only did not get the crime, but also made great achievements, and Kong De also gained some face in the court.

Li Yuanhe, of course, wanted to listen to Kong De's sermons. At the moment, he could only say yes, but his appearance made Kong Ling laugh. Li Yuanhe took a helpless look at the righteous brother, but his eyes turned and he laughed and said, "second brother, today you are my best man. You also know that I don't drink well. I've heard from Xu Liansheng that his second brother's drinking capacity has greatly improved. Therefore, for the wedding night of elder brother tonight, the toast of those guests will depend on you Finish saying, Li Yuan he still ha ha a smile, it is a face the appearance that the treacherous scheme succeeds.

Just after seeing Li Yuan and his eyes turning, Kong Ling knew that Li Yuanhe was making a wrong idea. Now when he heard Li Yuanhe say this, where can he not understand Li Yuanhe's ghost idea. Although Kong Ling's drinking capacity has improved a lot recently, the fierce tiger can't hold back the wolves. When the banquet comes, there are many people who come to offer a toast. Even if Kong Ling's drinking capacity is good, I'm afraid he will have to pour it under the table if he wants to take it all.
