There are less than three days left before Tang Xiaohao marries Princess Baomeng. To be precise, it should be Princess Baomeng who marries Tang Xiaohao. After all, she is a princess or a royal sister, so she is marrying down. After getting married, Tang Xiaohao not only has to move to Qinghe Hunting Ground
Go to Rouyuan Palace, and it will also come with a valuable gift.
Those betrothal gifts can be regarded as dowries. In addition to the gold and silver ritual vessels, silk and satin, there are also a large number of servants. Naturally, these servants include Xiao Ling Ding and Tang Dun.
Tang Dun is a personal servant, and Xiao Lingdang is a personal maid. As for her true identity, everyone knows it. Princess Baomeng naturally knows it too, but she doesn't care about it, because not to mention the princes and nobles, even the sons of wealthy families
Everyone is worthy of such a girl, but this also directly proves that this young man is a normal man and has no physical problems.
However, this approach shows that the status of women in Huayuan is extremely low, and it is completely inferior to that of the Rouyuan Torsi tribe. You must know that in the Torsi tribe, let alone female generals, there were even several female clan kings.
Women's status is generally higher than men's.
The only thing that makes Princess Baomeng happy is that in this wedding, she is married in name, but in fact she is the one getting married. You must know that in the Torsi tribe, women marry men. Of course, this is also the emperor's intention
, it seems that the rules are in accordance with the rules of the royal family, but in fact they follow the customs of Rouyuan.
Late at night, Tang Xiaohao couldn't sleep. As soon as he opened the window and wanted to blow in the wind, he heard bursts of sweet singing coming from the garden, and the person singing was a small bell.
"Guan Guan Jiu Jiu, in the river island. A graceful lady, a gentleman likes to fight.
The water-lilies are scattered here and there. The fair ladies are longing for them.
I can't get what I want, so I sleep hard and think about it. It's leisurely, tossing and turning.
There are various water plants, pick them from left and right. A graceful lady, play the piano and play the harp.
The water-lily seeds are scattered, and the leaves are grown on the left and right. The fair ladies are played with bells and drums."
(雎sui鸸jiu,夤wuumeimei)
Tang Xiaohao walked into the garden and followed the singing to find the little bell sitting by the pond. However, he did not come forward to disturb it, but stood aside and listened quietly.
This song called "Guan Sui" was originally a poem handed down from ancient times. The song Guan Sui sings to each other and is in love with each other, which evokes the association of a lady matching a gentleman.
of lovesickness and pursuit.
After Little Bell finished singing, Tang Xiaohao stepped forward and said, "You can also sing Guan Sui."
Little Lingdang looked at the reflection of the moon in the pool: "Yes, but I forgot who taught me, maybe it was my former crush?"
After saying that, Xiao Lingdang looked at Tang Xiaohao who had just sat down.
Tang Xiaohao didn't understand Xiao Lingdang's intention. He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I will definitely help you find the person you love."
When Xiao Lingdang heard this, the forced smile on her face completely disappeared, and she wanted to raise her hand and slap Tang Xiaohao.
On the rockery not far away, Tang Xiaohao sighed helplessly while lying there looking at the moon.
After a long time, Tang Xiaohao finally broke the silence: "I don't even know who Princess Baomeng is. This marriage was arranged by the emperor, and I can't do anything about it. If I say I don't want to marry, then I am resisting the decree. If I resist the decree, I will be beheaded."
It will involve everyone in the Tang Dynasty, and it may even trigger a war between the Torsi tribe and the imperial court."
Little Bell said nothing, just looking at the pond.
Tangdou sighed again when he heard this. Even this cat knew what the truth was at this time. You should just go up and hug her.
Why is this the number one scumbag in Shendu City?
Tang Xiaohao glanced at the little bell: "Anyway, I will definitely protect you until you get your memory back. When you remember who you are, you might really have someone you like. Then I will find a way to send you to find him."
He, and then everyone was happy."
Little Lingdang said quietly: "When the time comes, you can be your consort with peace of mind."
Tang Xiaohao held it in for a long time and then said: "But, we have paid homage to each other. What if the person you like knows about it? Then we will no longer be a couple?"
Xiao Lingdang clenched her fists and looked at Tang Xiaohao: "Shut up if you don't know how to speak."
After Xiao Lingdang finished speaking, she saw Tang Xiaohao looking at her: "Why are you looking at me?"
Tang Xiaohao moved forward at this time, and just as he was about to get close to Xiao Lingdang's face, Xiao Lingdang raised his hand and slapped him.
Although he received a slap, Tang Xiaohao still put his mouth on it.
When the two mouths touched, Xiao Lingdang felt that her heartbeat was about to stop. However, she still pushed Tang Xiaohao away and slapped him again. However, Tang Xiaohao, who had five finger prints on his cheek, hugged him directly.
The little bell lives.
Little Lingdang's clenched fists gradually loosened, and then she slowly lifted up and hugged the man in front of her.
Tangdou looked at the reflection of the two embracing each other in the pond, contentedly leaning against the sleeping puppy next to him, and intertwined his plush tail with the dog's tail.
That night, the moon remembered all the silent vows.
——
Originally, according to the rules passed down from ancient times, a man should "be crowned by his husband at the age of twenty." However, after the founding of the Dachang Dynasty, due to years of war and a significant decrease in the population, the age limit was relaxed. Men were allowed to be seventeen or older.
You can get married after the age of 15, and a woman can be engaged at the age of fifteen, and she must get married at the age of twenty at the latest.
If a man and woman are over 20 and have not yet married, the tax rate will be calculated as five times. In other words, if they do not get married at this age, they will have to pay five times the tax.
Therefore, it is just right for Tang Xiaohao to marry the seventeen-year-old Princess Baomeng at the age of eighteen, neither sooner nor later.
However, as a royal marriage, the first five steps of the "Six Rites of the Evening Ceremony" are omitted. The reason why it was first called the Evening Rites is because the wedding ceremonies are all held at dusk. The six rites are divided into
Nacai, asking for the name, Naji, Nazheng, asking for an appointment, personally welcoming.
Nacai, also known as nacai, means that the man's family invites a matchmaker to propose marriage to the woman's home. If the woman's family agrees, the man will prepare a gift and go to propose. This is why there is a saying that "the matchmaker is ordered by his parents".
Name asking means that the man asks the matchmaker to ask the woman's name and birthday.
What Najib means is that after the man gets the woman's name and birth date, he goes to divination. If the divination result is auspicious, he will notify the woman that he is ready to enter into marriage.
To accept the levy is to give a betrothal gift.
The request period refers to confirming the wedding date, informing the woman, and seeking the other party's consent.
The last step is the wedding ceremony, which is a series of wedding ceremonies on the wedding day. It is the last part of the six rites.
Because it was a marriage granted by the emperor, the first five steps of the six rites were omitted, and the last step was completely the opposite. The reason why it was said to be the opposite was that it was Tang Xiaohao who was supposed to lead the wedding team to welcome Princess Baomeng.
Returning to the Tang Mansion, but in order to respect the original Tuorsi tribe's rule of women marrying men, the Tang Mansion held a banquet to entertain guests while waiting for Princess Baomeng's team to come to marry Tang Xiaohao.
In the main hall of the Tang Mansion, Tang Xiaohao, who was wearing a wedding dress, was kneeling in front of Tang Chen. He listened to Tang Chen say the phrase "go to greet you and take over my family affairs." Xiao Lingdang and Tang Dun were in the hall.
Waiting outside.
Tang Xiaohao was kneeling there with his eyes closed and dozing off, because Tang Chen had been speaking for a quarter of an hour and he hadn't listened to even a single word.
Next to Tang Chen, Nan Rong Wenjun, who was wearing a ceremonial dress, was all smiles. She was happy from the bottom of her heart, and it was the first time that she could show her smile in front of Tang Xiaohao without concealing it.
For this woman who seemed cold and vicious, she did hate Tang Xiaohao, a bastard. No, it should be said that she could not even be called a bastard, but an illegitimate child.
She still remembers that on that snowy night more than ten years ago, Tang Chen, wearing iron armor, braved the heavy snow and returned with a baby boy sleeping peacefully in his arms. At that time, just above the main hall, Tang Chen
Tell Nanrong Wenjun that this is the son born to him by a woman outside, and he is also his first son. For the sake of the inheritance of the Tang family, he must bring this child back and raise him.
Tang Chen's words made Nan Rong Wenjun almost fall down. Her first reaction was that she failed to give birth to a son, so Tang Chen did this.
Nan Rongwenjun always thought that her husband was different from other men, but the facts before her eyes stabbed her heart hard.
Nan Rong Wenjun went to snatch the child like crazy and tried to beat the child to death, but Tang Chen pushed him away and told him sternly that the child was his bloodline and that he would rather break up with the Nan Rong family to keep it safe.
.
After that day, Nan Rong Wenjun was depressed, cursing the child's death every day in her heart, and even tried to poison the innocent child many times. She was not worried that everything Tang Chen created would eventually end.
Falling into the hands of that child, she just hated Tang Chen's betrayal and her deep love for this man.
Yes, Nan Rong Wenjun loved Tang Chen deeply. Although when her father Nan Rong Qufeng decided to let her marry Tang Chen, Nan Rong Wenjun was opposed to it and even threatened to commit suicide. However, when she first
When I saw Tang Chen once, I was attracted by this man whose armor was still stained with the blood of the enemy.
Nan Rong Wenjun initially thought that Tang Chen was either a rugged warrior or a weak young man, but he never expected him to be so tough and handsome. Although he was wearing iron armor, there was an air of elegance between his brows.
With just one glance, Nan Rong Wenjun was completely smitten. After getting married, Nan Rong Wenjun also discovered that this man was not as domineering as his father. He had great respect for himself and would not talk about "obeying women's ethics".
Around the mouth.
The deeper the love, the more hate. Therefore, Nan Rong Wenjun initially hated not Tang Xiaohao, but Tang Chen.
However, Nan Rong Wenjun soon discovered something was wrong. No matter how she looked, she could not see the similarities between Tang Xiaohao and Tang Chen. It stands to reason that father and son always have similarities. Although Tang Xiaohao was also good-looking, he was not as good-looking as Tang Chen.
It's not the same as being handsome and tough.
Coupled with some temptations in his words, Nan Rong Wenjun was almost certain that this child was not Tang Chen's illegitimate son or his biological son at all.
After discovering this, Nan Rong Wenjun felt much better. Although she still didn't understand why Tang Chen wanted to bring back a child that was not her biological child, her attitude towards the child changed.
The most important thing is that this child is so smart and sensible.
Nan Rong Wenjun still remembers that in the winter when Tang Xiaohao was eight years old, she fell ill and was bedridden. She thought that she might not be able to survive it, and even called Tang Chen and her two daughters to the bed to confess her last words. This chapter has been completed!
