The eighth day of September is the wedding date set by the Yang and Guo families six months ago for Yang Xi and Guo Xin. Yang Guozhong's injury has been controlled and he has temporarily recovered. Yang Xi's wedding should not be postponed and can be held as scheduled.

Yang Xi, who is on vacation and doesn't have to worry about anything for the time being, also devotes all his energy to his wedding.

The wedding process in ancient times was very complicated. The wedding process was divided into six stages according to Zhou rites, which are called "six rites", namely accepting, asking for names, accepting auspiciousness, accepting invitations, asking for dates, and welcoming in person.

Yang Xi does not need to take care of most of the wedding procedures such as accepting, asking for names, accepting, accepting, asking for dates, etc., and there are not many that require him to participate. His parents will take care of it. The only thing is to be present at the whole process.

What is involved is the last step of the process - the personal welcome.

There is no one to ask for help in this matter.

There are also many etiquettes on the day of welcoming the bride, such as getting married, making up, covering one's knees, moving in a car, transferring seats, worshiping in the hall, sharing the same cell, and marrying the bride, etc. Only after these are completed can one enter the bridal chamber.

After hearing what his mother, Pei Rou, said, Yang Xi had a big headache. It was really not easy to marry a wife. He originally planned to marry more if there were opportunities in the future, and have a "three wives"

"Four concubines" or something like that, he opened a "harem" in his house, but after hearing that the marriage process was so complicated, he immediately gave up the idea and wanted to torture someone to death.

However, after thinking that he would marry the beauty Guo Xin soon and taste that mature and plump body to his heart's content, Yang Xi still became very enthusiastic and devoted himself to the important matter of getting married and marrying a wife.

.

The day before the wedding, there was already a red and festive atmosphere in Yang's house.

Many elders in the Yang family also came, most of whom Yang Xi didn't know. Yang Guozhong, who had not been seen for a long time, also appeared in front of the servants and gave some instructions personally. Mistress Pei Rou was even more busy.

She personally arranged everything. She also arranged the marriages of the first three sons. Another son married a princess. It can be said that she is very experienced in managing marriages.

Knowing that Yang Xi was getting married, Emperor Li Longji and his concubine Yang Yuhuan also sent gifts, and Mrs. Guo Guo even came to congratulate her in person.

On the day of the wedding, Yang Xi was woken up by Ping'er early in the morning and asked to put on makeup.

Yang Xi is getting married, and the days of being favored will become history. She can no longer be favored by Yang Xi every day, and sleeps in Yang Xi's arms after passion. Ping'er feels very bad, but she still keeps busy with a smile and does not dare to

There is no hint of laziness.

Every marriage must have a best man, that is, a best man. Yang Xi invited two of his best men, one was Gao Wei, the son of Gao Shi, and the other was Pang Wei, the son of Pang Zhong. This was also a win-over.

Using human means, Yang Xi introduced Gao Shi and Pang Zhong as his confidants, and asked their sons to be his best grooms when they got married, which is enough to show how much he trusts these two people.

On the wedding day, not only Yang Xi, the groom, had to put on makeup, but the two groomsmen also had to dress up. The women in the house who were good at dressing up took care of these things.

After all the trouble, the three handsome young men were painted horribly by the people in the house. Foundation and rouge were applied to their faces for free. When they looked in the bronze mirror, everyone was shocked and almost couldn't recognize themselves.

She was wearing a bright red wedding dress, her whole face was heavily made up, her white skin was tinged with red, and she had a few flowers inserted. She looked like an actor on the stage. The three of them looked at each other, and all of them grinned.

Gao Wei and Pang Wei had both followed their father in the army and had met Yang Xi quite a lot, but they only became familiar with Yang Xi when he was preparing for his marriage. Originally, Yang Xi had a high position. He was higher than their father. He was taller.

Wei and Pang Wei did not dare to do anything rude in front of Yang Xi. It was not until they became familiar with each other after being selected by Yang Xi as best grooms that they became free and willing to joke together.

After the three of them "laughed" at each other's antics, at Pei Rou's urging, they rushed out of the room and prepared to greet the bride.

Before welcoming the bride, ancestors must be worshiped. A sacrificial mat had already been set up in Yang Xi’s Ningguo County Duke’s Mansion. Under the leadership of the elders of the Yang family, they worshiped their ancestors and paid homage to the ancestors. Everyone knelt in front of the table.

The elders of the clan read out the memorial text and told the ancestors of the Yang family that Yang Xi, a descendant of the Yang family, had grown up and was going to marry the Guo family's daughter named Xin and start a family, so that the spirits of the Yang family's ancestors in heaven could also share this joy.

The sacrificial activities were over, it was already afternoon, and it was time to go out. Yang Xi, who had hardly eaten or drank, led his best man and the people who greeted him, bid farewell to his parents and elders in the clan in the north of the main hall, and headed towards the Guo Mansion.

Already.

Just in case, Yang Xi invited Li Bai, Du Fu, and Gao Shi, three literary figures who have left a very good reputation in the history of Chinese literature, to welcome the bride. It is said that the bride's family will probably have to take a test on the groom's poetry during the wedding.

In terms of talent and knowledge, Yang Xi, who was a big-headed soldier in his previous life, didn't remember many poems in his mind. He was more afraid of misappropriation and cheating, so it was better to recruit some people with good abilities in this field to help.

The street is very lively.

Although Yang Xi had tried his best to keep a low profile, his reputation was already well known. Knowing that he was welcoming the bride today, many people came to the nearby area to watch the excitement, almost blocking the wide street. Finally, Sergeant Jin Yawei, who was trying to maintain order, cleared the way.

, the people welcoming the bride were able to pass.

After finally arriving at Guo Mansion, Yang Xi was sweating all over and felt very embarrassed. Looking at the two groomsmen, they felt the same way. At this time, they all had a very deep understanding, that is, getting married is really a piece of cake.

It is a very painful thing. Gao Wei and Pang Wei, who have not yet gotten married, secretly

They are determined not to get married in the future. But this is definitely impossible! Even if they want to, their parents will not agree. If they insist on doing this, they will probably be beaten or kicked out of the house. Of course, this

It was just an idea that suddenly occurred to them when they were frightened!

The Guo Mansion was also beaming with joy, and the two groomsmen also played a role at this time. They entered the mansion first, performed some etiquette of the groomsmen, and then crowded Yang Xi and other people who were welcoming the bride into the main hall. Guo Ziyi and Wang

Having already taken his seat in the main hall, Yang Xi went inside to meet his parents-in-law and the Guo family members, and held a "laying ceremony" for the geese. The Guo family also attached great importance to this marriage, and a large group of clan leaders came.

The elders of the Guo family presided over the wedding, and the set of etiquette made Yang Xi's eyes black, like a puppet at the mercy of others.

In a daze, part of the ceremony was over, and Yang Xi was pushed to the back garden in a daze, preparing to welcome the bride out.

Li Bai, Du Fu, Gao Shi and others who followed Yang Xi also played a role at this time. Many people from the Guo Mansion came to stop Yang Xi. They were all female relatives. Some of them asked Yang Xi to write poems and recite poems to express today's events.

In a happy mood, some asked Yang Xi some tricky and weird questions. In the end, Li Bai, Du Fu and others solved the problem for Yang Xi.

The two groomsmen also helped. They prepared a lot of red envelopes and distributed them along the way. After receiving the red envelopes, many female relatives let Yang Xi go, but most of them wanted to use a knife to make things difficult for him, or to test Yang Xi's performance.

Talent.

Guo Xin has eight brothers, six sisters and one sister. Five brothers are married, and all six sisters are married. The family is very powerful, which makes Yang Xi regretful that he should not find a woman with so many brothers and sisters as his wife. He also

I have a better understanding of the difficulty of marrying a wife. It is more tiring than commanding troops to fight... Men have such a hard life!

Fortunately, Yang Xi's hands and feet were nimble, so he rushed past some people before they could stop them, and finally successfully broke into the main room where Guo Xin was staying.

Seeing Yang Xi entering the main room, all the people who blocked him followed him in. They stopped making noise and became silent.

Several gentle knocking sounds were heard in the house. After the sound, Guo Xin, who was dressed up in makeup, shyly came out of the house with the help of Xiao Yu, a maid who had also dressed up carefully.

Today, Guo Xin is dressed very elegantly and exaggeratedly. Her black hair is pulled into a high double-ringed bun. There are several pairs of very long steps and hairpins at the back of the bun. There is also a bright flower in the center.

It just looks like her head is piled with things, and she looks a bit overwhelmed. Her face is so painted that it’s hard to see its true face.

If he didn't know that this was the woman he was going to marry today, Yang Xi probably wouldn't have recognized that she was his wife. This is similar to the feeling when taking wedding photos in later generations. Everyone can recognize her, but the one in the photo

If it were another woman, no one would be able to tell the difference even if she was wearing makeup.

Guo Xin is wearing a bright green dress, which is a bit "out of place" with everyone else's festive wedding attire, which is mainly red. It is in sharp contrast with Yang Xi's bright red wedding attire. Yang Xi is also getting married.

I just learned that in the Tang Dynasty, the groom wore a red dress and the bride's dress was green, which is the so-called "guys and dolls". This is completely different from the ancient weddings seen in later movies and TV shows.

When a man wears red, it is the so-called "shijiajiang official uniform", and "jiang" means red. Red represents the status of a distinguished person. When the groom wears a red dress, people call him "groom official". Some people may spend their whole life

Only when you get married can you be called an "official", so when you get married, no matter what your status is, a man will always wear a red dress. The green dress worn by women means that green represents their beauty and beauty.

gentle.

Guo Xin stood in the middle of the main room with the support of Xiao Yu, the maid in full makeup. Gao Wei and Pang Wei, the best groomsmen, pushed Yang Xi hard and urged him to step forward and take the bride's hand to welcome Guo Xin home.

Pushed out of the crowd by the two groomsmen, Yang Xi stepped forward with a reserved look. He was a little embarrassed to be dressed like this and attract so many people's attention. Many people were covering their mouths and laughing.

Many people couldn't help laughing when they saw the look of Marshal Yang Xi, who once commanded hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield and caused the rebels to abandon their armor and flee. Gao Wei and Pang Wei, the best men, laughed at each other.

Even more shameless, they shouted the loudest.
Chapter completed!
