Chapter 446: Marrying in a Sedan with Eight Carriers

what?

Bian Fei didn't understand again.

"What do you mean by unprecedented prosperity?"

Bo Fan was speechless.

"Take Shi Rong for example. She is the most beautiful of all the Little Celestial Clan members, from ancient times to the present."

So that's how it is! Bian Fei nodded in agreement.

"I agree."

The main reason was that Shi Rong was really beautiful. She was fascinated by her from the first time she saw her. She even wondered if Shi Rong was a fairy who fell from the sky?

Looking at it this way, it really is! After all, a celestial being is also a kind of fairy...

"Wedding ceremony, hurry!"

The two were talking intently when Xu Liu shouted again. Shi Rong raised his hands holding the round fan, moving in unison with the people behind him.

With each step, as you lift your foot forward, lower your body, bend your legs, and take one step at a time. Walk a total of 7 steps.

Xu Liu: "Stop!"

Shi Rong then led his men to resume their normal walking posture and continued on their way.

Bian Fei smiled happily, and when she looked at the beauty with her head down and eyes lowered, she looked dignified and elegant, but she didn't quite understand.

"Brother Bo, what kind of etiquette and rules are they following? Why do they have to take one step at a time?"

Bo Fan said.

"This was also an essential part of the marriage between a young lady from an aristocratic family and a king during the Warring States Period. 1. Show respect, 2. Show humility, 3. Show obedience, 4. Show love, 5. Show determination, 6. Show firmness, 7. Show loyalty, and never leave each other for eternity. This was to express the bride's respect and reverence for the imperial family."

Life in ancient times was really troublesome. There were so many kinds of red tape alone. Fortunately, she lives in modern times!

This was Bian Fei's first subconscious thought.

"How long will it take to get there?"

Bo Fan glanced at the special electronic watch on his wrist.

"It's still early. We'll have to wait for the fairy to get on the sedan chair and walk for a while."

Bian Fei glanced at him suspiciously.

"Are you speaking a foreign language? What is a coffin sedan?"

Bo Fan was speechless.

"You'll find out if you keep watching."

After about 10 minutes, Xu Liu let out a long groan.

"Wedding ceremony, get on the coffin sedan!"

At this time, eight burly men came from the front of Shi Rong. They all had fierce faces, fierce looks, and were wearing bright red wedding gowns.

When they arrived in front of Shi Rong, they threw the coffin in their hands into the sky. Before it fell, they all turned around, turned their backs to Shi Rong, and half-knelt on the ground, respectfully welcoming her into the sedan chair.

Only then did Bian Fei see the full picture of the so-called "coffin sedan".

It consists of a red wedding sedan with a three-dimensional relief and gold-plated tasseled headband on the upper part, and a double-phoenix coffin made of agarwood and red wood on the lower part.

A grand wedding, even if it was just a show, but actually having to ride in a sedan chair carried by a coffin? Isn't this too unlucky?

The key point is the sedan chair, which only has a frame and a headband, without even a curtain around it to protect it from wind and rain. What kind of sedan chair is this?

"Isn't this too hasty? Who gets married in a coffin? How unlucky!"

Bo Fan smiled, and only spoke after he saw with his own eyes that Shi Rong, supported by Miao Man, stepped on the back of another concubine to get onto the coffin sedan chair, and knelt solemnly in the middle.

"The ancients said, 'A good man does not eat the food of a divided family, and a good woman does not marry a second husband.' However, this saying was mostly used to restrict women. The main reason is that in ancient times, women generally had a lower status. Those who divorced or remarried often faced public pressure and difficulties in life."

"So, at that time, society held women to very high moral standards, emphasizing their marital fidelity and chastity. This is why the 'coffin sedan' existed. It meant that the person who entered the marriage in the sedan was a human, but if she regretted her decision and cheated, the person placed in the coffin and carried out would be a ghost."

Bian Fei's disgust for the ancient and old-fashioned society rose to a new level, but she didn't say much.

"Then why are there eight people carrying the sedan chair?"

Bo Fan said again.

"This is how women got married in ancient times, a standard formal wedding with a sedan chair carried by eight people."

"As the saying goes: 'A formal marriage is for a virgin; a sedan chair carried by eight bearers is for a lady of noble family; three matchmakers and six betrothals are for a woman of good learning and good manners; three letters and six ceremonies are for a woman of virtue and good character; a phoenix coronet and a red robe are for a woman of unrivalled elegance; a lavish wedding gown stretching ten miles long is for a woman of state-suffocating beauty.'"

"Shi Rong meets all the requirements. So even if it's just a performance, the Ying family prepared a full set of standard equipment for her. Her wedding dress, headdress, and sedan chair are worth at least tens of billions."

Oh ~

So that’s it!

Bian Fei clasped her hands together and looked at Shi Rong's curvy back in the sedan with envy.

"So rich! You're worthy of being my fairy sister! A sedan chair carried by eight men! What about me? If it were me, could I ride in one carried by eight men?"

Bo Fan shook his head.

"No. First of all, you're not a lady from a wealthy family. Secondly, you're not well-educated or well-mannered. I'm already giving you enough respect by letting you enter the house in a six-person sedan chair."

Bian Fei was so angry that her mouth was pouted. This guy really doesn't know how to talk.

"What if I'm no longer a virgin?"

Bo Fan: "A sedan chair for two."

4 people are missing all of a sudden! ?

Bian Fei: "What if I were uglier?"

Bo Fan: "I'll give you a sedan chair, go there by yourself, no one will carry you."

Bian Fei was so angry that she kept crying.

"Why!?"

"Hahaha!"

Bo Fan couldn't stop laughing. Sometimes he thought that this little girl Bian Fei was quite interesting, but a little bit lustful.

"And then? You haven't finished telling the story of Yu and Du Su."

Bo Fan nodded.

"Oh, right. Isn't it that Du Su has taken a fancy to her? He wants to take Yu as his concubine, but Yu disagrees. The reason is that she is an immortal. Even if Du Su tries his best to disguise himself, he can still see through her true form at a glance."

"Furthermore, demons and immortals are destined to be incompatible. Yu refused in every way, but Du Su was quite patient with the beauty. He said to Yu: 'I will always wait for you, and I hope for your day.'"

"It means: I will wait for you forever, until the day you are willing. So he imprisoned Yu in the Yidu Palace for 300 years, wearing fine clothes and eating delicious food every day, living a life of luxury."

"In order to please her, Du Su put almost all the precious and rare high-quality objects in the world in front of Yu, but she just didn't like him and didn't like him."

"And during this period, Du Su did force himself on Yu, but he was unlucky and never got her to conceive a child. I don't know whose fault it was, but it just didn't work out."

"But Du Su was not discouraged. He felt that perhaps his sincerity towards the jade was not enough and failed to move the heavens. Then he made a decision. He said: 'I will save your name and call you Qing. From now on, Qing, you will be my Imperial Noble Consort Yu Qing.'"

"It means: 'I will give you a name, Qing. From now on, you are my Imperial Noble Consort Yuqing.' The word Qing has two meanings in ancient times. The first is 'Ai Qing,' which, besides addressing a lowly official, also means addressing a beloved woman of high status."
