The sunset gradually droops the mountains, and the afterglow of dusk spreads in Chang'an City.

"Everyone, prepare and go out to watch the ceremony..." Zhang Anshi stood up and said when he saw this.

The pre-Qin period usually has no fixed time.

But there are fixed standards that are two minutes after sunset into night.

It means to go from yang to yin.

Today, although Huo Guang is just a re-string, this rule must be adhered to.

Zhang Yue stood up with everyone, followed Zhang Anshi, stepped out of the small building, and while walking, he was talking quietly, talking about the topic just now.

In the past about half an hour, Zhang Yue had a very pleasant communication with everyone.

Although there is no specific issue involved, it is almost the same, and they have figured out their tendencies and opinions.

For example, Jun Buyi, Bingji obviously liked and was keen on the "Three Worlds Theory" proposed by Zhang Yue and the path of a well-off and peaceful world.

Most of the others are just enthusiastic on the surface, but in fact they just want to take advantage of the popularity or see if there is any opportunity to speculate.

But overall, the atmosphere is very good and everyone knows it.

For the Han people, this is enough.

As long as you know each other and have this relationship, you will naturally become good friends or good friends in the future.

After all, on this earth, when it comes to interpersonal relationships, Chinese people think they are second, and it is almost impossible for anyone to take the first place.

As we walked and talked, we soon arrived at the main hall of Huo Mansion.

At this moment, there are already many feathered capes and full of officials.

Tall lights are lit one after another.

Three large tripods were placed on the east side of the hall, and the tripod was filled with various kinds of meat and meat sauce.

Although there are many servants coming and going, there is no noisy sound.

Even Zhang Yue and others stopped talking, and were invited to the main hall by several servants who served as praise from the Huo Mansion.

Zhang Yue looked at all this, full of curiosity and novelty.

This was the first time he witnessed the ritual ceremony of the literati and nobles in the BC.

This is even more shocking than what you see in books or on TV.

The entire hall inside and outside are filled with a solemn and solemn atmosphere at this moment.

The bright oil lamps reflect the entire Huo Mansion into a city that never sleeps like daytime.

Although it was just a re-string, the Huo family treated it as a newlywed.

As Zhang Yue saw, there was almost no picky point in etiquette and rituals.

only……

Is this what Mrs. Huo meant or what Huo Guang himself made?

Zhang Yue couldn't help but have some reverie.

If it was arranged by Mrs. Huo, that would be interesting.

Because that famous general will reveal a fact, Huo Guang, the Marquis of Bolu, is a rake ear!

While thinking about this, a gentle drum spring sounded and the hunch began.

Amid the high music of "Deer Song", two men in dresses walked in, then bowed to the guests on both sides and left and right, and said respectfully: "The madam's ritual begins with crowns, originates from darkness, respects from sacrifices, and harmony from shooting! Today is auspicious day, today is a good day, there are guests in front of the ancestral temple, and the heaven and earth are proof of the heaven and earth: Huo will accept the bride and the bride of Huo, named: Exhibit, to tell the guests, heaven and earth, the spirit of the ancestral temple!"

When Zhang Yue saw this, he felt a little moved.

Who said that Chinese weddings are messy and have many bad habits?

Such solemn and sacred rituals are far more than the sense of ceremony, picture and solemnity of weddings held in churches in later generations!

In fact, before the Song Dynasty, the Chinese scholars and officials' rituals were always known for their rigor, solemnity and solemnity.

In terms of style, it is much higher than the tricks taught by those gay friends!

Thinking of these in my mind, the music has changed from "Deer Ming" to "Taoyao". In the thick drum and spring ensemble, there is a young boy singing: "Taoyao is beautiful, bright and beautiful, and the son is returning, and it is suitable for his family..."

Amid the chorus, several oil lamps were lit outside the door, illuminating the road in front of the main hall.

The groom in a jeweled uniform pulled a pure blouse with a hairpin, a hairpin wrapped around her hair, and a long skirt, and walked in with a spring breeze on her face.

The guests stood up and greeted them slightly.

Because it is a re-string, all the rituals before the temple and the temple have been omitted.

There is no need for a bride greeting.

Therefore, they can appear together like this, otherwise, a complete set of etiquette is needed to honor the status of the bride, which is very important!

In the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, the status between husband and wife was still relatively equal.

Especially under the influence of the current Gongyang School of Thoughts, the wife is regarded as one of the two poles within a family.

The husband is yang and the wife is yin.

The harmony of yin and yang is the family.

Therefore, powerful women in the Han Dynasty were often able to suppress their husbands.

Especially those women from educated literati families, they usually have strong independence.

If the husband can't suppress them after getting married, sooner or later, the green grass will be hanging on the top of his head.

It was precisely because women in the Han Dynasty had a strong sense of independence that some trash began to promote the so-called female virtues since the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But in contemporary times, what is called female virtue?

That's something that doesn't exist.

Therefore, there are many strong women in the Han Dynasty.

There are more women with wisdom and wrists.

Not to mention the Liu family, there are many women who are famous and even respected by others.

For example, Tiying, Zhuo Wenjun, and Xu Fu are all left in history.

In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was even a great female writer Ban Chao!

As Zhang Yue knows, there are many women in today's society who are responsible for the important tasks of a family.

For example, Zhang Yue's sister-in-law took on the weight of a family as a woman before he traveled through time.

And in this Chang'an City, there are more examples of this.

Tell me, you may not believe in the textile industry in the Han Dynasty. Most technological progress was driven by women.

It is recorded in the Han Book that Zhang Anshi hired a female craftsman and invented and manufactured a new type of jacquard machine, which made a daily stake of gold, so that General Fubi was the Guang.

The silk jacket as thin as a cicada's wings unearthed in later Mawangdui was also woven by a female weaver.

There are east-west weaving rooms in the Shaofu organization. These two organizations employ tens of thousands of female workers to weave various silk fabrics day and night to supply them to the state and government, and even export them to the Western Regions.

Therefore, during the Western Han Dynasty, women had a high status.

From the palace to the people, there are records and examples of women in power.

Not to mention that women in the Han Dynasty could reach half of the sky, at least one-third of them!

Therefore, the state has not forgotten that women have to pay the cap tax.

Therefore, the most important part of the contemporary ritual is that the husband invites his wife into the hall in front of the guests.

That is the most critical part of the entire hunchback, which means the respect of the male owner to the female owner of the family.

But today I can't see it.

Because it is a refrain, many steps are omitted.

…………………………………………

Huo Guang is now full of spring breeze.

He held his wife's hand and walked to the middle of the hall, facing the guests, bowed and said, "Today's good time, I am humiliated by the humiliating house. I am extremely ashamed. I prepare a little wine and cold food to wait for you, and I hope you can forgive me!"

As he said that, he bowed deeply.

The Madam Huo Xian, who was standing beside Huo Guang, also opened her red lips and bowed: "I am the pose of a puppet and a stupid talent, and I am proud of my face. I personally humiliated the humble house and were listed as guests. I am grateful for the ceremony here!"

Everyone hurriedly replied to the gift and said, "I dare not! Mr. Huo is generous and kind, and his wife is polite. We are very lucky to be invited to watch the gift! Very lucky!"

As he said that, everyone bowed together, "Congratulations to Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, for his righteousness and determination to establish the alliance of white hair!"

At this point, the ceremony of the chaotic ceremony has actually ended.

This is also the original meaning of the rituals of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties.

Marrying a bride is a family matter within a family.

The guests were invited to serve as witnesses and notaries.
