Shen Chenai's Different Life in Ancient Times

Although it has been determined that Luo Ding might be getting married, some things that happened afterwards still made Shen Chenai a little confused, because he neither saw Luo Ding bring anything to someone's house to propose marriage, nor did he see a matchmaker coming over In the Geng post, there was an old man who always came to see him, and he smiled very kindly every time, and he looked somewhat similar to Maitreya with a big belly.

Until Luo's house started to decorate the new house with lanterns and festoons, Shen Chenai did not wait for someone from the woman's family to come to the door. Puzzled, Shen Chenai thought, could it be that the wedding customs here are special, and the two families are not allowed to meet each other before the wedding?

But even if this is the case, there must be an errand runner in between, otherwise, if there is any problem between the two families, how will they communicate?

Shen Chenai, who was full of question marks in her heart, began to think hard. Among the folk customs of marriage holidays in the Tang and Song Dynasties that she knew, there seemed to be no such thing?

No matter how much Shen Chenai wondered about the customs here, the festive atmosphere in Luo's house became more and more enthusiastic. On this day, the tailor of Gao's family brought all the newly made clothes, and Mrs. Chen was helping Shen Chenai to hold him. Try new clothes on yourself.

At this time, Shen Chenai was able to stand alone, even without the support of others, he could walk a few steps only with his own strength.

Seeing that his body is gradually improving, Mrs. Chen, who has been taking care of him these days, is very happy for him. She looked at the beaming Shen Chenai, and said to him with a smile: "Sure enough, people are in good spirits on happy occasions. You Now he looks like the young master from a rich family in the storyteller, no matter how you look at it, he is attractive."

Shen Chenai was taken aback by Mrs. Chen's words, and then she thought that what Mrs. Chen said was true. After all, he was bought by Luo Ding with money. big red.

After the clothes were tried on, Mrs. Chen called him to change them out quickly, saying that they had to be worn on the day of the wedding, and it would be bad if they got dirty or wrinkled.

Sometimes Shen Chenai always thinks, how can the master's family wear wedding clothes for the servants at the wedding, how could he be so stupid at that time, he didn't see such an obvious loophole, but he made an excuse for himself It's over, if I can think of these earlier, there will be those long-winded things later.

On the day of the wedding, the courtyard of Luo Ding's house was buzzing with people, those who came to help, those who took favors, and those who watched the excitement blocked the gate of Luo's house. Even the courtyard, which was originally very spacious, had already There is no place to step down.

Wearing festive clothes, Shen Chenxi went to the window early in the morning, thinking that no matter where the wedding is held, as long as it is in the Central Plains, the general process will always be the same. Basically, the groom will bring someone to the bride first. The family took people over and left a master of ceremonies to take care of all the guests and friends at home.

After picking up the bride, the bride's natal family must be received first, which is the so-called recognition of the new relatives, and then the ceremony will be held at the auspicious time selected in advance. It was the host's house that entertained the guests to eat and drink.

Even if Shen Chenxi's understanding of folklore is not an expert, he can be said to be familiar with it, so he is very curious about those brides who have not yet appeared and their family members, thinking that today is the wedding, The bride had to show up, and the natal family who sent off the relatives had to let him see what the new relatives were like, so as to avoid the embarrassment of not being recognized when they met again in the future.

So from the morning after breakfast, Shen Chenai leaned against the window and waited constantly, but from early morning until sunset, Luo Ding did not see Luo Ding taking someone out to pick up the bride, let alone the bride and her family.

At this time, Shen Chenai was already in serious self-denial. He was thinking, could it be that our archaeological gains over the years were in vain, and there were no such wedding customs among the people?Or is it really different here, even to get married, the bride has to come to her husband's house by herself?

Shen Chenai, who has been devoting herself to studying the new wedding etiquette, did not realize that he himself has become the object of curiosity of others. From time to time, people pass by the window to peek at him, and those who are bolder and more lively What's more, he directly lifted the curtain of the east room, and looked at him openly and carefully.

I watched the window sill for a whole day, but I couldn't wait for the bride to enter the door. Instead, I was treated as a monkey for others to visit. Shen Chenai, who was depressed, decided not to wait any longer. Anyway, as long as someone gets married, he will always have a chance. have witnessed.

Just when Shen Chenai wanted to move her body and lie down to rest, the two strings of firecrackers hanging on the gate of Luo's house suddenly crackled.

Among the crowd, the old master of ceremonies shouted very loudly, and he opened his voice and said to the people inside and outside the house: "The auspicious time has come to prepare for the wedding ceremony, and those who want to watch the ceremony stand forward."

In fact, there was no need for him to shout at all, long before the firecrackers went off, there were already a lot of lively people around, and the young man, who refused to compete with the elders and women, climbed to the roof early. At that time, he was leaning on the eaves and looking down.

Shen Chenai, who had been guarding for a day, was really tired at this time, so even if he was interested in the outside ceremony, he didn't have the strength to get up now, so he regretted thinking that he might not have a chance to feast his eyes this time up.

Before he finished lamenting, Luo Ding, who hadn't shown much all day today, suddenly pushed the door open and came in. He came in with a happy face, hugged Shen Chenai who was lying on the kang, and walked out of the door without saying a word.

Shen Chenai, who had never thought that she would be embraced by a man and princess in public, was in a serious brain breakdown at this time, while Luo Ding was holding him and standing in front of the newly furnished wedding hall.

The old master of ceremonies shouted: "Bow to heaven and earth."

Luo Ding bowed towards the sky and earth with Shen Chenai in his arms.

The old master of ceremonies shouted again: "Second worship to the high hall".

Luo Ding turned around with Shen Chenai in his arms, and bowed deeply to the four tablets placed in the wedding hall.

The old master of ceremonies continued to shout: "Husband and wife pay respects."

Luo Ding looked down at Shen Chenai who was being held in his arms, and was not willing to let him go. He just rubbed his chin on the top of Shen Chenai's head, signaling to everyone that the two of them were very close, and then asked the old master of ceremonies: "Is this possible?" Alright."

Everyone burst into laughter when they saw this, and many people joked that Luo Ding felt sorry for the people in his room.

Being teased, Luo Ding didn't show any embarrassment on his face, but he carried Shen Chenai back into the house very proudly.

At this time, Shen Chenai had already come to his senses. He thought about the new clothes that Luo Ding bought for him that looked very festive, and the bride who hadn't shown up until now, and his head was always broken. The string of the string suddenly linked up.

No wonder Luo Ding is so kind to himself, no wonder he is kind to himself, but the people around him don't have any opinion.Lovers buy themselves back not to be slaves at all, but to prepare to be his wife.

But Luo Ding's head is not clear, are the people around him also blind?I am obviously a big man, so could it be that the ancient ancestors were so open-minded that they could accept male-male weddings?Why didn't he know that after studying for so many years?

Shen Chenai, who was in a mess in his heart, didn't even notice how the time passed. Anyway, when he came back to his senses, Luo Ding had already sent away most of the people who came to the wedding.

Those who remained were those who were relatively close to each other. When the dinner was held just now, these people were busy serving wine and food to the guests at the banquet, and helping Luo Ding with the wedding ceremony. It was almost the end of the day, and Luo Ding found time to hold two separate banquets to entertain them.This is also to express my gratitude. After all, I have been busy these days, and I have used them a lot.

The banquet was held in the West Room in the upper room, and most of the people who remained were young people, many of whom grew up with Luo Ding from childhood to adulthood, and some were his comrades when he joined the army. , now chose to stay here after disarming and returning to the fields.

These young people are at the age when they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so they have repeatedly asked for a bridal chamber, but Luo Ding will not give them this opportunity, and every time this topic is brought up, Luo Ding will find an excuse Block back.

They all know Luo Ding's temper, he is the kind who will never change people easily after making a decision, so everyone who is doing it also knows that it seems impossible to make a bridal chamber.

The bad friends whose wishes were not fulfilled exchanged a few glances with each other, saying that if you don't let us have a bridal chamber, we won't let you have a good time tonight.

So several people began to encourage everyone to toast Luo Ding in turn, as if to let him crawl into the bridal chamber tonight.

Rao Ding's drinking capacity is too high, but he can't stand the turn of more than [-] people. When others send him into the east room, even Shen Chenyu, who has a very strong nerve, can see that Luo Ding at this time Already drunk, I can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.

But even if he was drunk like this, Luo Ding didn't forget to take off his clothes and crawl on top of him, pressing him to practice all night.
