In Daqin, weddings are very particular.
This period is mainly followed by Zhou Li.
The Zhou Dynasty was an era of great collection of etiquette, and there was a very perfect wedding system.
There are detailed regulations in "Etiquette", and the whole set of ceremonies is divided into three books and six ceremonies.
The three books are the Letter of Engagement (book of engagement), the Book of Rites (list of gifts), and the Book of Welcome (book of marriage)
Six ceremonies were formed in the pre-Qin period and must go through six formalities for weddings.
They are: Nace (promotion)
Question name (with eight characters)
Najib (passed)
Acceptance (excessive gift)
Please date (select date)
propose a marriage
Before the Zhou Dynasty, the marriage ceremony was not very lively.
"Book of Rites, Suburban Special Sacrifice" says: "Wedding does not need music, it is the meaning of secluded yin. Weddings are not congratulatory, and the order of people is also."
Apparently, before the week, people regarded weddings as a ceremony in the shadows, and there was no music and no congratulations.
From 17 to the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there were occasionally some stubborn local officials who were bound by the Zhou ritual and prohibited people from congratulating each other at weddings.
However, marriage is always a happy event of "great auspiciousness, very auspiciousness".
Especially in the Warring States Period, with the improvement of productivity, people became more and more fond of liveliness and enjoyment.
It is also difficult to maintain a situation where the wedding is not congratulated.
In Daqin, people's attitude towards weddings changed slightly from the original strictness and congratulations.
Although it is now a matter of serious observance of etiquette, it is still worth celebrating.
But even so, this is still different from the festive and lively atmosphere of later generations more than two thousand years later.
This is also the main reason why Su Yu is not married to Meng Wanning and Ying Yinman now.
As the first emperor of the present, the most beloved young son Hu Hai, the wedding is naturally not simple.
Since the previous week, the entire Xianyang City has become extraordinarily lively.
Countless guards and maids in the palace ran back and forth, decorating the backyard of Zhang Liang's house and the vacant mansion next to Qiming's main camp.
Since the last time Qi Mingwei was built here, plus the influence of Su Yu's villa.
The original area has been completely emptied and turned into the private property of the palace.
There are many vacant mansions.
Now, the mansion next to Captain Qi Ming will be used as the new residence of Hu Hai and Du Yingying.
The location here is very good for Hu Hai.
Not only is it close to his camp, but most importantly, it is also close to Su Yu's house.
It's very convenient to come over for a bite to eat anytime.
The only thing that makes Hu Hai feel a little dissatisfied is that the house was built too early, and his wedding date has come too soon.
Otherwise, I would have to build a villa like Su Yu.
In the blink of an eye, Hu Hai's wedding day has come.
During this process, there was no such thing as Du Yingying's pregnancy being discovered.
Early in the morning, Hu Hai, wearing a black robe and red lining, came to Du's house, accompanied by a group of attendants.
The last step in the "six rituals" is to propose a marriage.
It is also the last ceremony before the wedding.
At this time, Hu Hai will pick up Du Yingying, go to their new mansion, and begin to officially marry in front of the "witnesses".
On the other side, in Hu Hai's new mansion.
Old Zhao, with a red face, and Su Yu, with a wry smile, were already sitting on the left and right of the main hall, waiting here early.
Lao Zhao is dressed in a mysterious robe, although it is not the dragon robe worn in the imperial government, but it is also quite majestic.
On the other hand, Su Yu is a straight black cloak with golden stripes, covered by a semi-transparent black gauze at the hood.
Although from Su Yu's point of view, it can be seen clearly from the outside.
But outside, due to the light, it was impossible to see Su Yu's appearance at all.
This cloak was specially sewed by Lao Zhao's top tailors in Daqin for Su Yu.
It is for the convenience of Su Yu, in such a situation that he must appear in front of everyone's eyes, he can appear openly without revealing his face.
Although Su Yu has always felt dressed like this, it's a little bit of middle school.
But he couldn't hold back Lao Zhao's intentions here, so he could only bite the bullet and wear it like this.
"Old Zhao, shouldn't it be Orchid who is sitting here today? What is my situation here?
Su Yu doesn't know anything about these complicated Zhou etiquette.
But he also knew that there was something wrong with him sitting in this position.
Normally, it should be the parents.
Sitting here by myself is somewhat strange.
Lao Zhao laughed and said softly, "Su Yu, if you were gone, Hai'er doesn't know what would have happened in the end."
"He is able to achieve what he is now, thanks to half your master."
"As a teacher for one day and a father for life, you should sit in this position.
After finishing speaking, Lao Zhao 767 glanced around at the two sides of the main hall, as well as the rows of tables in the spacious courtyard outside the main hall.
"Besides, now my Daqin marriage customs have changed since then under your proposal, and the solemnity of the past has changed, and all the people celebrate together. 99
"Who is sitting here, and what's the harm in changing it a little?
Su Yu laughed dumbly.
That's right, in the past Daqin's wedding, there was no banquet at all.
The real banquet evolved after the Han Dynasty, which was gradually evolved from the ceremony of the newcomers to the banquet.
Today, it is indeed his idea to have these tables filled with guests later.
Originally, he just mentioned it casually, but he never thought about it, but he hit it off with Lao Zhao.
Then Su Yu remembered.
Lao Zhao is a person who has a good face and loves fun.
Today's Hu Hai is basically considered the best among his peers.
After all, the current Da Qin is very martial.
And the young son, who is both outstanding and favored, gets married, and everyone should have a good time.
Seeing Lao Zhao so happy, Su Yu bleeds again.
A surprise was prepared for Hu Hai's marriage.
