Chapter 885 The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber(2/2)
But there is also a saying that if you marry a high person, you will wear green, and if you marry a low person, you will wear red.
The father-in-law-to-be is already a transport envoy in charge of several routes and a high official in the border areas. His official position is far above that of Sheng Changbai. Of course, Hai Chaoyun is wearing red clothes.
Sheng Changbai felt more comfortable looking at the red wedding dress.
Sheng Changbai and Hai Chaoyun saluted Master Hai and Mrs. Hai together, while Hai Chaoyun's uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters-in-law, sisters, brothers-in-law and other close relatives looked on.
"From now on, you two must live in harmony as husband and wife, work together as one, respect each other as guests, and fulfill your important responsibilities for the prosperity of the Sheng family." Master Hai instructed.
"From now on, as a husband and wife, the man will take charge of foreign affairs and the woman will take charge of domestic affairs. The husband will sing and the wife will follow you. We will work together to bring glory to our family." Mrs. Hai then ordered.
After Sheng Changbai and Hai Chaoyun agreed, it was over for the Hai family.
He put Hai Chaoyun on the sedan chair, continued to play music, and welcomed him back to Sheng's home with the flute player.
When I returned, there were dozens more people, all of whom were married to Hai Chaoyun.
In addition to the maids, mothers-in-law, and servants who serve Hai Chaoyun.
Among these people are those who manage farms and shops for Hai Chaoyun.
After arriving at the door of Sheng's house, the bride needs to have a bite of her husband's meal in the sedan chair.
Then get off the sedan chair, step on the saddle, step on the grass, and finally step on the scale, which means peace and safety.
"Worship the ancestral hall."
After people enter a home, they first go to the ancestral hall to pay homage to the gods and ancestors.
"Worship the high hall."
Then from the ancestral hall, move to the main hall and visit the high hall.
"House of husband and wife."
Finally, they move from the main hall to the new house, where the couple bows to each other.
Although compared with later generations, the prayers were almost the same as these three, but it was still a lot of trouble to change three places.
When doing these things, the bride always covers her face with a fan, which is really not as convenient as a hijab.
After the bride enters the new house, she just waits in the room.
Sheng Changbai couldn't let things go like this and had to go out to accompany the guests.
With dozens of tables of guests accompanying him, Sheng Changbai could only say that luckily he could cheat.
Otherwise, the alcohol content is not high, but if you drink too much, you will still be intoxicated.
After dealing with the guests, it’s natural to have a wedding night.
Sheng Changbai had experience, so naturally he would not let others disturb his bridal chamber, and would clear them out early.
…
There was no surprise. When he went to serve tea to his parents the next day, Wang Ruofu laid out the music.
Not only did he look bad throughout the whole process, but he also said some inappropriate words asking Hai Chaoyun to help Sheng Changbai in his career.
Although the matter is such a thing, it would be too hurtful to only talk about interests.
Because of Hai Chaoyun's height, Wang Ruofu was afraid that he would not be able to suppress his daughter-in-law, so he wanted to give her a blow from the first day.
The daughter-in-law is required to set rules, take care of herself at dawn and dusk, and serve meals.
"Chaoyun, please be more considerate of my mother."
Although he knew that Hai Chaoyun was more than capable of dealing with a simple-minded Wang Ruofu, he still needed to be concerned.
"This is something that every daughter-in-law has to go through. It's what I should do. It's not something to be burdened with."
After all, Hai Chaoyun received this kind of education, and it was not as difficult to endure such things as Sheng Changbai thought.
"You serve for a few days first. After waiting for a few days, I will go and tell mother."
It was definitely not possible to find Wang Ruofu a few days ago.
Whether a daughter-in-law should set rules or not is a status struggle between women in feudal houses.
Wang Ruofu, the mother-in-law, must first establish her authority.
With so many maids and servants in a wealthy family, there is certainly no shortage of people to take care of them.
The reason why you have to let your daughter-in-law serve is to establish your family status.
As for the time for the daughter-in-law to establish rules, she can be very flexible.
Generally speaking, it is one to three years. In extreme cases, it may last for several days, months, or even a lifetime.
The Sheng family currently has a family of 200 people, so it is definitely not possible without a clear leader in the back house.
On the third day, after the newlyweds returned home for three days, Sheng Changbai took Hai Chaoyun back to Hai's house.
"Meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Nothing complicated, I just came to Haijia again with some gifts.
No matter what era, it is the same. After returning home, the daughter will be called away by her mother-in-law.
The son-in-law can only play with his father-in-law and brother-in-law.
Both Weng and his son-in-law were officials. Although they started talking about daily life, they unconsciously turned to politics.
"Zecheng, are you doing well at Yushitai?"
"It's okay. Although things have to be done according to the wishes of the officials, it's not a waste of time at the Yushitai. You can always clean up some silverfish for the court."
Because the old Zhao family and the scholar-bureaucrats jointly governed the world and treated scholars favorably, the official administration of the Zhou Dynasty was really not good.
"Zecheng, please be patient for a while longer. When I went to the official family to say goodbye, I heard that the official family already had the intention of relenting on the matter of opposing the crown prince. After the official family appoints the crown prince, I don't think I will be here.
I’ve made things difficult for you.”
Now that Sheng Changbai and Hai Chaoyun's marriage is over, the father-in-law should really go back to his place.
After all, he is also an important member of the party. It is normal for the old emperor to take a breather first before bidding farewell to Bianjing and returning to his hometown.
"Father-in-law, does the official family want to be crowned King of Yong?"
