Since it was Zhao Dan who agreed, then the horoscope of the date of birth must be a perfect fit.

The fourth step is to accept the levy, that is, to make the dowry.

The fifth step is to ask for a date, that is, the two parties discuss and choose an auspicious day for the zodiac. This auspicious day is chosen on the sixth day of July, which is August 257th in 8 BC.

These five steps are actually preliminary work, and each step is stipulated, what clothes the man will wear when he comes to the house, what to say, how the woman will respond, what kind of courtesy, etc., there are rules for everything.

These rules can be traced back to the etiquette formulated by Zhou Gongdan during the founding period of the Zhou Dynasty, which is the so-called "Zhou Li".

After completing these five steps, finally, the climax of Zhao Dan's first wedding after time travel unfolded.

On this day, Zhao Dan got up early, and then finished dressing under the service of the maid.

As a king, these tasks are actually very cumbersome. It is just a matter of dressing up and making up, and it is already noon after finishing.

Today Zhao Dan is wearing Xuanduan, which is a very formal dress, usually worn on formal occasions such as court, sacrifices, weddings, etc. It was not until Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty that Xuanduan court clothes were changed into Zhuyi court clothes.

Xuanduan clothes are made of upper and lower garments. Xuanyi is made of summer cloth fifteen liters, with a width of two feet and two inches. Because the cloth width in ancient times was narrow, only two feet and two inches per week, each piece of cloth is square, straight and square. , so it is called end.

And because the Xuanduan clothing does not have such exaggerated things as chapter color patterns, and it also coincides with the connotation of integrity, so this kind of clothing system is called "Xuantuan".

Xuan is black, that is, black. If you look carefully, you will feel that there is a hint of red in the black. Zhao Dan is wearing such a black and slightly red Xuanduan suit today.

In addition to Xuanduan clothes, there are also lower body curtains. The style of the curtains is also particular, and the requirements are the first three and the last four.

Then there is the crown, today Zhao Dan wears the Xuan crown, and the etiquette official Guan Li calls Xia "Wu Zhui", Yin "Zhang Fu", and Zhou "Weimang".

Therefore, Xuanguan was also called Weimaoguan at this time. "Wei" means stability, and "appearance" means righteousness.

Common things have different names and different names: the top is small and the bottom is big, seven inches long and four inches high, made like a covered cup, the front is tall and wide, and the back is sharp.It has no stems and tassels, shaped like a covered cup.

Simply put, it is like a large rectangular cup buckled on the head

After the time is up, it's time to proceed to the sixth step of the wedding, the personal welcome.

Zhao Dan boarded the carriage and led a mighty team out of Miyagi to greet the bride.

Logically speaking, the wife is a concubine, but after all, the wives of the princes are still of a much higher status than the concubines of ordinary people, so Zhao Dan is required to personally welcome them.

At this moment, a large camp has been set up a few miles southwest of the palace city, and the black flag fluttering in the tent is the symbol of the Qin State, and it is also the destination of Zhao Dan's wedding ceremony.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhao Dan saw that the people on the left and right were all in black, there was no red at all, there was no noise of gongs and drums, and there was no sound of firecrackers. The whole team just walked forward silently.

Well, a welcoming procession made up of hundreds of men in black

Why is it a bit like the feeling of carrying a coffin for a funeral in a TV series?

Zhao Dan didn't feel right.

Soon, the welcoming team arrived in front of the camp.

Zhao Dan got off the carriage, and Yangquan Jun Michen had already come forward to meet him: "I have seen the king!"

Due to the uniqueness of this wedding, the Qin family did not come forward, and the bride's father passed away a few years ago, so Mi Chen, the bride's Mi Rong's family, is the boss of the "maid's family" this time, acting as the eldest brother. The role of the father-in-law.

After Mi Chen welcomed Zhao Dan, he bowed towards the west twice.

Zhao Dan smiled at Mi Chen, remembering the instructions of the officials, he also bowed eastward twice.

Then Mi Chen made another bow to Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan stepped into the gate of the camp, holding a live wild goose tightly tied up in his hand.

There is a temple behind the gate.

small temple.

Zhao Dan walked up to him, met Mi Chen's eyes, and bowed to each other at the same time.

They bowed to each other three times, and then passed the temple.

Behind the temple is a hall.

There are steps under the hall.

Zhao Dan and Mi Chen walked up to the steps and said, "Mr. Yangquan, please."

"My lord, please."

"Mr. Yangquan, please."

So again and again.

Mi Chen climbed the steps first, followed by Zhao Dan.

There is only one west-facing seat in the lobby, which should have been the seat of Mi Rong's father, but Mi Rong's father has passed away, so there is only a spiritual tablet on it, and Mi Chen is standing on the right hand side of the seat.

In addition, there are some people standing on both sides of the lobby, all of whom belong to the important figures of the Mi family, that is, the natal family.

And there is also a person standing on the left side of the seat, this is an 86-year-old girl.

This is the first time Zhao Dan saw his bride, Mi Rong.

I saw this princess Mi Rong with a pointed face, red lips and thin makeup, also wearing black clothes, with a rather petite figure, and a pair of big eyes flickering at Zhao Dan. After seeing Zhao Dan's gaze, she immediately seemed to be She dodged like a frightened bird, and two blushes appeared on her fair cheeks, looking rather shy.

Zhao Dan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Qin Guo didn't fool anyone, and the one sent was indeed a beautiful woman.

Well, still a loli

The legal kind.

Zhao Dan identified the direction from left to right, put the live goose in his hand on the ground, then turned around and bowed to the north.

Two bows, kowtow to the ground.

Mi Chen led all the Mi clan present to bow to Zhao Dan in return.

After Zhao Dan finished prostrating, he stood up and walked down the hall.

Yangquan Lord Mi Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Mi Rong who was on the other side of the seat: "Go, serve King Zhao with peace of mind, and don't forget the entrustment of King An."

The girl nodded silently, and followed Zhao Dan.

After the two left the hall, hundreds of servants and maidservants appeared from the side of the hall and followed behind them, all of whom were going to serve Mi Rong.

After a while, Zhao Dan brought Mi Rong to the gate of the camp, where a carriage was already waiting.

Before Zhao Dan came to the carriage, he took the lead rope in his hand, turned around and smiled at the girl behind him: "Madam, please."
