Today, many of Yang Jing's high school buddies and college classmates came, there were at least thirty or forty of them. With these guys here, at least there would be no problem of lack of manpower for the wedding.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Yang Jing, wearing a crimson Tang Dynasty official uniform, a pure gold crown on his head, and riding a pure white thoroughbred horse, smiled and saluted to the fellow villagers around him and the celebrities and politicians who were stunned.
As the saying goes, red men and green women go hand in hand. Since the wedding was held according to the Tang Dynasty wedding customs, Yang Jing, the groom, had to wear a bright red Tang suit. As for the purebred horse, Michael Burco bought it from the UK more than ten days ago, and Yang Jing spent more than 600,000 pounds.
Yang Jing's close friends and college classmates were also wearing Tang suits. They were laughing and joking, some were leading the horses, some were clearing the way, like the lackeys of ancient young masters. It was a very lively scene.
The gong and drum team invited from the Tianqu Art Troupe, also dressed in festive clothes, played music in the front. One festive piece of music after another pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
After bidding farewell to his parents at the door, Yang Jing rode on the horse and rode westward with a clatter. Many residents watching the excitement cheered loudly, and some children ran around excitedly. Today is Sunday, and many people are off work...
More than ten minutes later, Yang Jing, riding a tall horse, arrived at the Gege's "mother's home", but this was originally the home of Yang Jing's grandfather, so it was not easy to get close today.
Because in the wedding customs of the Tang Dynasty, after the groom arrived at the bride's house, he had to recite a poem to urge the bride to get dressed as soon as possible and take a car to the groom's house to get married.
Yang Jing also memorized two poems to urge the bride to get ready, and he could show off one of them today. But even after reciting the poems to urge the bride to get ready, it was still not easy to enter the gate, because there was a "Xiaxu" link in the wedding customs of the Tang Dynasty.
The so-called "xiaxu" originally referred to a wedding custom in the Tang Dynasty when the son-in-law returned to his parents-in-law's home to pay a visit to his parents-in-law. That is, when the son-in-law returned, the bride's family members and friends would come and beat him with wooden sticks or bamboo sticks for fun until he was dizzy. This could be understood as a demonstration by the bride. In ancient times, this aspect really meant equality between men and women. Since there was a game of teasing the bride in the bridal chamber, there must be a game of beating the son-in-law when he returned.
However, in modern times, some customs have to keep pace with the times, and the etiquette of "going down to the bridegroom's place" has been moved to the middle of the wedding, when the groom marries the bride.
Although there were not many relatives of Gege who came to the scene today, there were many of Gege's best friends, acquaintances and female classmates. These women who were eager to cause chaos in the world all acted as Gege's relatives on this day. A group of women, led by Gege's best friends, really tortured Yang Jing. It can't be said that they beat Yang Jing into a pig's head, but they also made Yang Jing run around with his head in his hands. In the end, if Gege hadn't protected Yang Jing, I'm afraid Yang Jing, the bride, would really not be able to come out......
There were many celebrities and politicians who came with them. When they saw this scene, they all laughed out loud. They had never seen such a festive and interesting wedding before.
After completing the steps of "sitting on the saddle" and "blocking the carriage" in this house, Yang Jing finally and smoothly took the princess to the eight-man sedan chair parked outside.
Yang Jing rode a horse to pick up the bride today, and the bride would naturally ride in a sedan chair after leaving the house. But what made everyone laugh was that the eight sedan bearers, each with a muscular build and strong looks, were all blond and blue-eyed foreigners...
These sedan bearers were bodyguards sent by Dark Shield, but they had no role to play in such an occasion, so Yang Jing captured them and forced them to do hard labor.
A group of blond and blue-eyed foreigners served as sedan bearers, which made the crowd around laugh. This was really a Western scene. It is estimated that from ancient times to the present, no one has been so awesome as to use foreigners as sedan bearers.
A large number of people had gathered around the white horse and the sedan chair, almost blocking the wide road.
It took more than twenty minutes for the bride's sedan chair to arrive at the door of the Yang family villa.
At this time, Yang Jing took the golden bow and arrow handed over by the waiters. Before the bride got off the sedan chair, he, the groom, had to "shoot the sedan chair curtain". The so-called "shooting the sedan chair curtain" in the Tang Dynasty wedding was to let the groom hold a bow and arrow and shoot three arrows towards the sky, the earth and the bride respectively, which meant that raising the bow and arrow could turn misfortune into good fortune. This ancient custom is said to drive away the evil spirits from the bride. At the same time, it also has another meaning, which is to give the bride a warning and remind her to abide by the rules of women after becoming a new daughter-in-law and be a virtuous and good wife.
When it was time to shoot the curtain of the sedan chair, Yang Jing would help the princess with the gauze on her head down, and then they would step over the fire basin placed in front of the door together. This was called "jumping over the fire basin".
The "crossing the fire basin" means that the bride and groom cross the fire basin together to ward off evil spirits and pray for a prosperous life in the future. Of course, there is another saying about this "crossing the fire basin". It is said that it is to prevent the "following ghost" from following. Ghosts are afraid of fire and cannot cross the fire basin, so they are "cut off from each other with fire".
After crossing the fire basin, the real climax of the wedding is about to come...
