"God, why is it so troublesome?"
Li Lu frowned as he looked at the wedding arrangements given by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, he really didn't expect that marrying a princess would be the most troublesome, long-winded, and tiring thing he had encountered since he crossed.The first thing is that I must find a way to buy live geese or catch live geese, because Li Er wants everything to be in line with Zhou Li, and he must do his best, I'll take it, Li Er, you said earlier, there are many geese on the prairie, but in Chang'an City at the moment, where will there be live geese for you, no way, the British Prince's Mansion almost sent out all the people who were jumping around, walking and climbing, especially those soldiers who followed Li Lu rushed into Zhongnan Mountain, and after a long toss, they finally got together three pairs of live geese, but there were still two pairs of them.In addition, they also caught a lot of live wild animals, such as sika deer, roe deer, muntjac, hares, and many pheasants, all of which were used for weddings.As for why live geese, this is because according to the Zhou ceremony, the wedding process of the Han people is divided into six stages, which are called "six rites", which are the so-called Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, inviting periods, and welcoming in person.In addition to the levy, all must live geese, because since the Zhou Dynasty, in the marriage according to the six rites, in addition to the levy ceremony, the rest of the five rites need to be given to the woman's family by the man's messenger.Because geese are migratory birds, they migrate north and south with climate change and have a fixed mate, one dies, and the other no longer chooses a mate.The ancients believed that the wild goose from the south to the north was in line with the yin and yang, the spouse was fixed and the righteous ceremony, and the marriage was based on the wild goose, which symbolized the yin and yang harmony of a pair of men and women, and also symbolized the loyalty and single-mindedness of marriage, so it was also called the laying of the wild goose.There are not enough live geese, which is difficult for Ma Changqing, the chief housekeeper of the palace, "Your Highness, no, the brothers have tried everything they can, so they have made up three pairs of live geese, and there are still two pairs of ........"
The old horse was so anxious that he was about to accept the lottery, and the live geese were not in a hurry to die.When Li Lu heard this, he was also a little worried, these live geese were still the three pairs of live geese that his subordinates had worked hard to get, but this was the live geese that could be found in Chang'an City, and when Li Lu was also worried, suddenly a crisp voice like a yellow bird sounded, "Your Highness, I have a way, I don't know if you want to hear it?""
I want to, I naturally want to, I have to accept the color the day after tomorrow, there are not enough live geese, hey, ......"
Li Lu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said without thinking about it."
Mei Niang, don't talk big, even His Royal Highness is worried, what idea can you have for a little girl?"
Ma Changqing glared, he didn't think that Wu Mei could beat His Royal Highness.Unexpectedly, Li Lu said happily, "Mei Niang, it's you, tell me quickly, what good way do you have ......."
Li Lu knew that this little girl was very smart, if she wasn't a traverser, she wouldn't be her opponent at all."
Giggles, Your Highness, you are really smart and confused for a while, what is the most famous of our Jiankun?
It's glass and bone china....."
Wu Mei chuckled, "Your Highness, I found a pair of bone china geese and a pair of glass geese in our warehouse, these two pairs are still the same size, putting these two pairs of geese together with the three pairs of live geese not only solves the problem of insufficient live geese, but also highlights the characteristics of our palace, don't you say?"
”"Oh, Mei Niang, you are really my Li's Zhiduoxing, female Zhuge ah!!"
Li Lu couldn't help but give Empress Wu thirty-two praises, worthy of being able to sit on the emperor, amazing, amazing!"
Giggles, Your Highness, don't praise Mei Niang anymore, if you praise Mei Niang again, Mei Niang will be proud......"
Wu Mei said with a smile, "Your Highness, this is the list of chicken, duck, fish and eggs and other ingredients you asked me to purchase, I got all the .....""
Okay, Mei Niang, thank you!"
Li Lu thanked Wu Meiniang, and then said to Wu Mei with a smile, "Meiniang, when you get married, I will give you a big gift....."
Your Highness, you are necrotic..... what Li Lu didn't expect was that Li Lu said that he would give a big gift, Wu Mei's little face suddenly turned red, and she left a sentence, "Your Highness, you are necrotic!"
”ran away, leaving only Li Lu, who looked confused, in a daze, Ma Changqing, who had long been trained as a human being, saw that this Wu Mei was interesting to His Royal Highness, but unfortunately His Royal Highness didn't seem to know it yet.After Wu Mei ran a long way, she stroked her rapidly beating chest with her little hand, and said to herself, "My good Highness, do you know that Mei Niang's most desired gift is Your Royal Highness......
This solved the problem of live geese, and Li Lu's vigorous and sensational action to marry a princess in Chang'an officially began.According to the process given to him by the Ministry of Rites, this is first of all to accept and collect, that is, the man invites the matchmaker to the woman's house to propose marriage.If the female family agrees to the marriage, the male family formally proposes to the female family, and the formal proposal must be based on the words of the goose as a courtesy, and the stalks will go at dusk on an auspicious day, so that people can accept the meaning of their choice.Of course, it was not Li Lu who personally proposed it, it was the person who acted as his elder to propose marriage, and the live geese prepared before came in handy at this time, but what made Li Lu a little strange was that he was obviously married to the daughter of His Majesty Li Er, why did he let himself go to the princess's mansion that Li Er gave to Changle to find Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, to propose marriage, what would happen, Li Lu had lived two lives, and he had never married a princess, what was going on, he was now confused.After asking Lao Du, who was rushing to be his matchmaker, Li Lu understood that when the emperor's family married his daughter, the Son of Heaven would not marry in person, but let the prince with the same surname marry, so the emperor's daughter was called a princess.As soon as Lao Du said this, Li Lu understood, no wonder he was called a princess, he couldn't help but think secretly in his heart, if a prince like Li Daozong was allowed to preside, wouldn't he be called the king?
Really, this is a mess, pity him Li Lu originally thought that there was some romantic saying and origin for calling the princess, but he really didn't expect this dry allusion to make him very disappointed.After some operations, Lao Du, who was the representative of the man, that is, the matchmaker, handed Li Jing the marriage letter, and then Li Jing, the officiant, read it aloud, "Zhenguan eleventh summer and July......
The narrative has been long and profound........
May the building be closed......
I wish to trust Gao Yuan......
Dare to be polite.The son of Li Ji of the Li family in Xiling, the king of the Tang Dynasty, the Khan of Jiankun Yingwu Chengming, the secretary of the military department of the inspection school, the governor of the capital of Jiankun Metropolitan Mansion, Li Lu Li Zhiyuan was the head!
”The whole text of this intermarriage book is full of four words and six words of classical Chinese sentences, that is, the so-called comparison of duality in later generations, this intermarriage book of four and six is extremely neat, it is Lao Du, the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, they have been arguing for a long time, and the end is very level.After Li Jing finished reading, he took Li Lu's birthday, walked up to the woman's representative, and asked the representative of the woman's family, Princess Changle's own uncle, Li Er's half-brother, Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing, and asked them if the woman was satisfied with Li Lu's son-in-law, and Li Lu almost thought that this was a business cooperation signing ceremony.After the woman muttered a lotup, she handed out the eight characters and handed them to Li Jing, and then, Li Lu came out with a Taoist priest who came out to pretend to be a ghost and started a performance of eight characters.Yuan Laodao pretended to jump a big god, pretending to divination, divination is naturally a major event of the birthday, to see if there is anything to restrain each other, his performance can be described as superb, his fingers are like flying, even his expression is worried and happy, his fingers keep twisting, and there are words in his mouth, but what he is talking about, no one can understand.In fact, this so-called combination of eight characters is based on the year, month, day, hour and genus of the two sides of the birth of the calculation, check whether they are born and restrained, called the combination of eight characters.A person's birth year, month, day, and hour are matched with the sexagenary branches, two characters in a group, and four groups in a total of eight characters.According to the Five Elements, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, gold gives birth to water, and water gives birth to wood; Water overcomes fire, fire overcomes gold, gold overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, and earth overcomes water.In some areas, according to the genus of the two sides, there are "white horses are afraid of golden bulls, and rats and sheep are not headed."
The serpent saw the tiger like a knife file.Superstitious sayings such as "pigs see babies and monkeys cry for a long time", and some areas use the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth to calculate the eight characters, and they are known as "the two golden couples are not suitable", "the golden and wooden couples cannot be married", "the golden and local couples are six strong" and so on.Regarding these statements, Li Lu, who has always believed in science, said that he did not believe this, but on this occasion, he did not have the courage to say that you are all superstitious, and if you do, it is estimated that it will not end well.When everyone was waiting for a very anxious time, Yuan Laodao opened his eyes and opened his mouth to announce that Li Lu and Princess Changle's eight characters are very compatible, they are a pair made in heaven, a pair of love, anyway, the words are all good words praising Li Lu and Changle, in fact, Yuan Laodao's words are all nonsense, because Li Er has already made a holy decree, if you Yuan Laodao dare to say that the eight characters are incompatible, the harmful Li Er can't marry his daughter, and the harmful Li Lu can't marry his daughter-in-law, believe it or not, Lao Li and Xiao Li will directly tear Yuan Laodao alive.When the three pairs of live geese and a pair of bone china geese and a pair of glass geese appeared, they directly blinded Li Yuanjing and their princes, they all knew that you Li Lu was rich and rich, but I didn't expect you to be rich, bone china geese, glass geese, these two pairs are not live geese, but they are the same as life, bone china and glass are expensive things from Jiankun, and the geese they make symbolize wealth and wealth; The three pairs of live geese symbolize the harmony of yin and yang, raising the eyebrows together, and the husband and wife are in love.Li Er's brothers and sons looked at the bone china geese and glass geese, their eyes were red, numb, this is a good thing, no, you must ask your niece-in-law (brother-in-law) for good bone china or glass, especially Li Er's sons who have not yet married a wife, and they have made up their minds to pay attention to it, when they marry a wife, they must use geese made of bone china and glass, well, no live geese, if you want to use them, you will have five pairs of bone china geese, five pairs of glass geese!!
