Chapter 321 Oath
After a few simple explanations, Zhang Bei continued to move forward with the team.
After spending more than an hour and sending out countless grain bags, the huge wedding team finally arrived at the door of the woman's home.
At this time, the woman's family was also ready. The Wangong sedan was placed at the door, and a red carpet was spread from the room to the edge of the sedan.
Zhang Bei pointed the camera at the Wan Gong sedan and displayed this Chinese luxury product that has been passed down for thousands of years in the live broadcast room.
"This is the Wan Gong sedan chair, which can be called the ceiling of Chinese luxury goods."
"As you can see, this sedan does not have a door. It is a whole from the moment it is installed."
"The woman needs to be disassembled from top to bottom by craftsmen. The next step is the man's business. We can take care of it with peace of mind."
The steps of a formal wedding are not very complicated, as long as you know the rules and follow them step by step.
But for the groom, this is a laborious job.
Inside the main entrance, two old men were sitting on two chairs. After the groom got off his horse, he knelt on his knees and kowtowed three times respectfully.
The ancient matchmaker standing aside quickly handed two cups of tea to the old man.
"Now Mr. Meng is getting married and has won the Xie family's daughter. The two elders have been raising him for more than twenty years. You should show your filial piety!"
The groom held up three fingers together and sounded serious.
"When the two elders of the Xie family have no children to support, if they marry a wife, they should be their sons and share the burden of raising them."
"This statement represents heaven above and hell below. If you betray me, you will fall into reincarnation forever and will not be reincarnated!"
The oath full of oppression made the comments in the entire live broadcast room sparse.
Zhang Bei lowered his voice and explained quietly to the audience in the live broadcast room.
"The Han Dynasty attached great importance to etiquette, and weddings were naturally among them."
"All the vows are extremely strict. You will know the details when you take the wedding vows."
"The reason for this oath is that there is only one girl in the woman's family. After entering the man's family, the old man can be said to be homeless."
"In order to respect filial piety, two people need to raise each other together, which also reflects the concept of responsibility."
The father-in-law who was sitting on the chair put down his tea cup, picked up a peach branch from the table and knocked it gently on the groom's body.
"The etiquette and laws are not abolished, as evidenced by the three-foot gods!"
"Be respectful!"
At this point, the first step of marrying a wife has been completed, and the next step is the physical work.
Only the groom went on the next journey, leaving a group of people outside.
Zhang Bei also continued to explain to the audience in the live broadcast room, otherwise they would really not understand this thing.
"In order to show respect for his wife, the groom should carry the bride into the sedan chair."
"The bride is not allowed to get off the ground during this period. It is a completely physical job."
When the groom stepped on the red carpet and carried the bride into the sedan, the craftsmen immediately completed the entire sedan.
The eight strong men who had been waiting for a long time put a piece of red cloth on their shoulders and directly lifted the sedan.
"Welcome in person, lift up the sedan chair, and celebrate!"
The voice from the ancient media guide fell, and the team immediately began to walk back along the way they came.
The sound of the suona sounded again, full of joy.
Zhang Bei silently took a few steps back and gave up his seat to two rows of young ladies wearing Hanfu.
The red petals were scattered on the road by the young lady, as if forming a red carpet leading directly to the groom's house.
Zhang Bei pointed the camera at the petals on the ground, and soon moved to a group of people following from the woman's house.
The end of this group of people could not be seen at a glance, and every two people carried a box and followed the wedding party.
"Of course the so-called ten miles of red makeup cannot really be ten miles away, but it is also a gift from the bride's family to make their daughter famous."
"The longer the queue, the stronger the bride's family is, and the bride will have more dignity when she marries."
"Unlike the current betrothal gifts in return, the items in Shili Hongzhuang are not accessible to the groom and are all the bride's own property."
"This is why we often see why ancient women felt so guilty when they sold dowries to give money to men."
A full hour's journey was covered in red, and the shocking scene made the entire live broadcast room sparse.
Arriving at the door of the man's house, the craftsman quickly took apart the Wan Gong sedan.
"Eight big sedans are carried, we are getting married at the main gate, please join hands as a gift!"
Although the ancient media had not held a wedding of this level in a hundred years, the entire Zhou ceremony was engraved in their bones.
As soon as the sedan landed, their voices rang out.
The groom took the bride's hand and pulled her out of the sedan.
It wasn't until this moment that the audience in the live broadcast room noticed the abnormality.
The alligator is beaten every day: [No, where is the red hijab?]
Trap your monkey: [Yes, where is the red hijab? 】
An Xiaoli: [I seem to know something vaguely. There seems to be no such thing as a red hijab in the Han Dynasty, right?]
Zhang Bei looked at the barrage and explained patiently.
"In ancient times, gods were seen when raising one's head three feet high, especially in the Han Dynasty, which respected Taoism. It was absolutely not allowed to cover one's head."
"The real origin of the red hijab dates back to the Tang Dynasty. You can see that most of the red hijabs in TV series only appeared in the late Tang Dynasty."
"However, although there is no red hijab, the woman will use a round fan to cover her face when there are many people."
"Please be patient and watch, you will soon see the most stringent vows of the entire wedding."
After Zhang Bei's words fell, the noisy barrage in the live broadcast room completely quieted down, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the groom and bride.
The ancient matchmaker handed the two ends of the red flower made of red cloth to the newlyweds, and then stepped aside.
The two of them walked hand in hand and walked into the auditorium.
The decoration here is also very different from the wedding in everyone's impression.
At the top of the stepped auditorium are two chairs, on which the man's parents sit.
Below is the desk, where an ancient matchmaker girl wearing red Hanfu has already sat.
"Exercise a salute and respect heaven and earth!"
As the sound fell, the newlyweds kowtowed respectfully in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
"Perform the salute and pay respect to the gods!"
Incense and candles had already been placed on the desk, and the newlyweds kowtowed again.
"Exercise a salute and respect the elders!"
This time there was no need to kowtow, instead the groom and the bride walked to their parents with tea in hand and knelt down in front of them.
After the two old men took a sip of tea, they handed a vermilion scroll to the ancient matchmaker standing aside.
After getting this thing, the ancient matchmaker took a deep breath and opened the rope above.
"Kneel down at the table as a courtesy!"
The groom held the big red flower on his chest, took the bride's hand and knelt down on both sides of the table.
The young lady from the ancient matchmaker took the scroll and bowed to the front.
Chapter completed!
