Chapter 1479 Wedding (1)

"Is it buried?!" In the middle of the night, in a strange ripple, several men in black buried items in a square. As for what they were, only they knew.

"It's already buried. Smooth the ground. Nothing should be visible."

"Okay! Pay attention to the thickness of the soil!"

"Hmm!"

"Strange, why would the lord assign these tasks? And give us this mysterious [Mirage Pearl] to use!"

"The lord has his own ideas. We just need to execute them well! Hurry up, there are still several places!"

"Yes!"

...

Early in the morning, the General's Mansion of the Eastern Expedition.

The noisy and lively sounds broke the morning light of the General's Mansion early. Many servants kept moving around, adding a festive atmosphere to the General's Mansion.

The day after tomorrow is the day when the General's Mansion of the Eastern Expedition will marry Cai Yan, the Marquis of Weichuan!

The Han-style wedding is based on the Zhou rituals, with elegance, dignity, and solemnity as its charm. Tracing back to the source, it is a national wedding that embodies the classic cultural traditions of China.

Han-style weddings are a new and fashionable contemporary wedding form with classicism as its main feature. Han-style weddings are different from Western-style weddings, and also different from the so-called Chinese-style weddings that are generally based on the styles of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

In the tradition of the Chinese nation, Han-style weddings are regarded as the root of ritual and music civilization, the starting point of human relations and social order, and the origin of the harmony between man and nature and the transformation of all things. Only such a wedding can match the steadfast and deep emotions between the newlyweds, and can match our own national identity and cultural traditions.

Han-style weddings are traditional weddings of the Han nationality. During the wedding, the correct Hanfu should be worn. However, the corresponding clothing colors and styles can be selected according to the styles of different periods. For example, in the Han and Zhou dynasties, black and red were popular, so a Han-style wedding might choose a red and black skirt or dress; a Tang-style Han-style wedding might choose a red man and a green woman; and a Ming-style wedding generally chooses Ming Dynasty official uniforms, and the bride often wears a phoenix crown and a bridal robe.

A matchmaker said to Lin Mu seriously, and Lin Mu was dizzy.

This matchmaker was not found from outside, but a etiquette official in the palace. After all, Emperor Han Liu Hong was a matchmaker!

The Han Dynasty attached great importance to etiquette. To marry a daughter-in-law, you have to go through three matchmakers and six engagements.

Perhaps considering the situation in General Lin Mu's mansion, Liu Hong also asked the matchmaker to bring 500 etiquette palace maids to support Lin Mu.

You know, these 500 etiquette palace maids are the kind that have just been trained. They haven't officially become maids yet!

In the words of the players, they are reserve maids!

The often mentioned reward of so many beauties is usually these reserve women who have just been trained.

Liu Hong is very stingy with money and materials, but he is very generous in these aspects.

Afterwards, the matchmaker continued to explain some detailed procedures, such as where to worship and where to go, which actually have regulations.

Han marriage is elegant, noble, and solemn, but its etiquette is also very complicated, and ordinary players can't accept such etiquette at all.

Of course, if they can marry Cai Wenji, they are willing even if it is ten times more complicated.

"General, the pre-wedding ceremony can be carried out today." After a long speech, the matchmaker began to give orders.

Lin Mu listened to the matchmaker and did whatever she said. Even Xun Shuang, who had just moved into the mansion, obeyed her.

"The basic preparations have been completed, but the last goose gift has not been completed." Xun Shuang next to him said in a serious tone.

"Oh... the last formal betrothal gift has not been handed over yet?" The matchmaker said unexpectedly.

"Well! The last betrothal gift can be paid today." Xun Shuang glanced at Lin Mu and said.

The so-called betrothal gift is the two original ancient books that many scholars covet!

Zhang Hong and Guo Jia worked together, spent a lot of time studying that ancient book, and spent a lot of materials, and finally copied it all! It is currently stored in the Great Wilderness Territory.

You know, the scale text given to Cai Yong at the beginning was not all, it was engraved by Guo Jia.

Every time the seal is completed, whether it is bamboo slips, animal skins, or jade, it will automatically turn into powder, which is very magical!

Later, Zhang Hong and others used the Fengling Jade as a carrier to finally get it done.

After that, it was originally brought to Luoyang by Lin Mu.

Originally, it must have had a strange effect. Lin Mu originally wanted to give it to Cai Yong, and he also hoped that Cai Yong would leave Luoyang and enter the Great Wilderness Territory in the future. But he didn't expect to attract some old scholars, and because of Shi Xie and others, the following situation occurred.

Helplessly, these two original ancient books must be left in Luoyang.

On the other hand, because of Lin Mu's contribution, the scholars of the whole Luoyang were very happy to promote this marriage, and no one jumped out to make trouble.

Even if there were, they didn't dare to be blatant.

Before, Huang Zhong saw that the whole Luoyang became festive. In addition to Lin Mu spending a lot of money to decorate, there were also many gentry who added fuel to the fire.

In this way, the wedding of Lin Mu and Cai Yan swept the entire Han Dynasty!

"Han Sheng, you will take the guard of honor to pay the betrothal gift later!" Lin Mu turned his head and ordered Huang Zhong behind him.

"Yes!" Huang Zhong did not say much, but responded heavily.

Generally speaking, no one would destroy the betrothal gift. But these two ancient books are different. There are countless scholars from all over the world in Luoyang City. Maybe some guys are crazy enough to rob them on the way. If they are robbed, not only will the loss be huge, but also the face will be lost!

Therefore, Lin Mu asked Huang Zhong, who has gained a lot of opportunities recently, to escort.

At this moment, Huang Zhong is wearing armor and looks majestic! ! Lin Mu still gave Huang Zhong the Xingxiu suit!

"General, on the day of the wedding, although there is a teleportation array, there may be scholars making trouble in some places that must be passed through. You need to prepare." The matchmaker reminded.

"Haha, not only scholars, but also warriors!" Lin Mu said meaningfully.

Lin Mu had already prepared for these after Xun Shuang and Cai Yong's explanation.

Lin Mu even organized some "little shows"!

After that, the few people discussed some matters and started to get busy. Lin Mu didn't need to go in person to pay the betrothal gift.

Xun Shuang took Lin Mu to the door of the mansion to welcome guests, and guests kept sending gifts. Most of these guests were officials of the Dragon Court, and even the Yuan family sent gifts.

Although they were enemies in secret, those guys paid more attention to these etiquettes and were less likely to be absent.

Of course, there were also many people such as the Jingzhou gentry, the Yanzhou gentry, and the Yuzhou gentry who sent envoys to send gifts.

Lin Mu received gifts at the door and cramped! It was really cramped, his face! He kept smiling, how could he not cramp! !

Lin Mu followed Xun Shuang to meet many high-ranking officials and noble families, such as the Bai family, the Zhou family, the Wang family, the Yang family, the Kong family, etc., which opened Lin Mu's eyes. This wedding made Lin Mu shine in front of everyone in the world!

On the wedding day, Lin Mu wore an elegant and majestic Han robe, looking very elegant.
