Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 302 The year of the big wedding, the bride twelve
Most of the middle and high-level officials in Datang would attend Qin Huaiyu's wedding. This kind of time is also a good opportunity for "lady diplomacy", and there are not a few couples who attend together.Yang Ying attached great importance to it, for fear of embarrassing Jin Yu, she got up early in the morning to dress up, the more formal the occasion, the less sloppy she would be.No matter what era, it takes a lot of time for a woman to dress up. Jin Yu squatted aside patiently watching how Yang Ying groomed herself.In Jin Yu's view, the girls of the later generations are all beautiful after makeup, and they can scare the cows to death after removing makeup. Today's girls are horrible after makeup, it is better to look good without makeup.

The first step for a woman to do makeup these days is to get her hairstyle done. The most common hairstyle is to stand upright on the head in the shape of an axe. From a distance, it looks like an ax has been chopped on the skull.Then apply a thick layer of lead powder on the face, which is something that can kill a person in one bite.Women who like to make up have a higher chance of short life. Lead is not easy to metabolize, and it is all accumulated in the liver. If the concentration is high, wait until you stretch your legs and burp.Originally, Jin Yu didn't want Yang Ying to make up, but little girl, who doesn't like to be praised for her beauty after such a grand event?Jin Yu couldn't bear to disobey her, so he told Yang Ying to use it sparingly and not to inhale it.

After applying the lead powder, you need to apply rouge, which is the thing that the kindergarten children in later generations painted on their faces when they performed. It is as red as a monkey's buttocks. In Jin Yu's view, there is a kind of joyful beauty that can't stop laughing.

Next is the thrush, which is quite normal. Liu Ye bent her eyebrows, and when she smiled, her eyes narrowed into a slit, which can reduce the sense of distance between people.

Then there are decals, dots on noodles, traces of oblique red, and lip balm.Huadian is pasted on the middle of the eyebrows with glue. This thing was very popular throughout the Tang Dynasty. After the change of dynasty, it gradually fell silent. Meng Yuan went south and completely stamped out this kind of makeup culture.The facial mask is dotted on both sides of the mouth, a bit imitating the small dimples. This thing was also first developed in the palace. Its original function was to mark the concubine's menstruation, so that the sign would not be turned over, so as not to splash the emperor's blood... Then it became popular out of nowhere.Slanting red is to draw two small vertical crescents on the outer corners of the eyes, close to the temples, just like the crescents between the eyebrows of Mr. Bao Heizi, but the color and position of the eyes are different.Applying lip balm has been a woman's constant preference for thousands of years, but the shape has changed a bit. At this time, the chassis is small, so there is a saying of "small cherry mouth". This style was carried forward to the extreme by Dongwa. Pass.

The whole process lasted for less than half an hour. Except for the eyeballs that couldn't be put on makeup, the other places were covered tightly, and the front and back were completely different, perfectly realizing the recognition of people by voice.Think about it, the ladies and marquises in the room all have such dignified looks, and they have no appetite. Fortunately, gays and lesbians do not sit together, otherwise Jin Yu thinks he would really laugh out loud.

Men these days also have the custom of putting on makeup when they attend formal occasions, but Jin Yu's shameless rhetoric refused Yang Ying's kindness to put on makeup for him. Uncle could bear it, but Jin Yu couldn't bear it either.

Although Jin Yu took off his make-up, he didn't hold back Yang Ying in terms of dressing. He was dressed in light crimson regular clothes, similar to the suits of later generations, very formal!Mr. Li Yuan really had a lot of things to worry about. Before his butt was warmed up, he went out of his way to set the color of clothes for the people of Tang Dynasty. There are rules for what grade to wear and what color to wear, so as not to offend the rich and powerful. .If a driver in black hits and kills a girl in red, whoever your father is, kill him first!Not even three generations are sorry for the red dress on her body!
When Jin Yu and his wife came to the Qin Mansion, there were already many people waiting to watch the ceremony. Jin Yu didn't know what was going on with the female guests, but the male guests were all starting with light scarlets, Bibi in bright red and purple both.In fact, the original meaning of "big red and big purple" refers to the color of the clothes of high-ranking officials, and it gradually evolved to describe the famous artists.

It is impolite to meet people without saying hello. Although everyone wears clothes in colors that symbolize their rank, no one would wear long-sleeved clothes for court use on such occasions.Dressing in casual clothes gave Jin Yu a chance to play tricks. Anyone he knew would come forward and call him "Uncle" or "Uncle". These are his future benefactors. I believe that after today's dinner, Jin's Restaurant will usher in a wave The tide of booking banquets, of course, the higher the merrier...

After school at the Imperial College, Jin Yu and Cheng Huaimo occasionally went across to each other for a drink. Once, the white-clothed scholar at the next table got drunk and yelled something like "It's hard to be a son-in-law", as if Second Master Li was forcing him to marry the princess.For thousands of years in feudal dynasties, there has always been a continuation of winks in dressing, and everyone has agreed to follow them. However, some scholars have no fame or rank, and want to look extraordinary, so they fold fans and wear white clothes. Turned out to be born, as if wearing the mourning clothes of a filial son can be superior to others.For this, Jin Yu was very contemptuous, but he never jumped out to speak out. Since people like to pretend to be between A and C, then let him do it.

Is it difficult to be a son-in-law? Different people have different opinions. For example, Qin Huaiyu and Yuzhang, the two of them saw each other and sparked sparks. They no longer care about each other's identities. I believe they can handle it freely.Generally speaking, the royal family would not marry a princess to the eldest son of a minister, because it would easily lead to the concentration of power, which would be detrimental to the royal family. However, there were exceptions, such as Changsun Chong and Chang Le, who could not receive lunch according to the script.

The Shandong clan is sour about this, and it is ridiculous to try to resist Li Er with its own identity and blood, and it is like a mantis' arm.It is easy to understand that people in the world like to marry girls from the Shandong clan. Strict family education, knowledgeable and reasonable, housekeeping and thrifty, three obediences and four virtues, no matter from which point of view, can make men happy. Of course, Fang Yizhi is an exception. That kind of straightforward female man is also very rare in the clan. It can only be said that Fang Xiang has a good character and a high winning rate... If he is reincarnated in heaven, he must be imprinted with an indelible soul brand - buy a lottery ticket , if you can survive 800 years, maybe you can win the lottery, right?At that time, you must put the vinegar jar upside down to accept the award, and the vinegar jar was born out of nowhere!
The royal rules are strict, the whole wedding ceremony lasted for an hour, and it was sent to the bridal chamber when it was dark. Qin Huaiyu's powdered face was rosy and festive under the light of the torch.As brothers, Jin Yu and Cheng Huaimo are not qualified to have a bridal chamber, but it is estimated that no one from the younger generation of the Qin family would dare to show power to the bride, after all, Yuzhang wears the high hat of a princess.

The colorful fireworks attracted the depressing exclamation of friends who watched the ceremony. Cheng Huaimo, who had already experienced the charm of fireworks, showed a sense of superiority beautifully, and even lit a firework in front of his companions.

From the high voice of Old Fairy Cheng, one can hear that a group of veterans are also very interested in fireworks. It's hard to find, I heard Gui Tang said that he had to go to the extreme north to find it. For this happy event in the Qin family, Gui Tang didn't hide anything, he took out all the fireworks, and this kid made all the dishes for tonight. Everyone Try it later, if you are not satisfied, I will give him a good spanking!" Even though Jinyu could hear clearly through two doors, Uncle Cheng was strong, shrewd in his rudeness, and asked Jinyu for fireworks in a few words The road was blocked, and I believe that no one here would turn to Jin Yu for trouble.For the sake of Lao Cheng being so protective of himself, Jin Yu decided to forgive him for wanting to spank his own ass.Jin Yu is very confident about his craft, and he just waits for all the veterans to taste it, so that they can make the tide come a little higher, higher, and higher!
Desserts and cold dishes are ready-made, and they are served on the table like flowing water.Cheng Huaimo was the most forthright, and thought it was troublesome to use chopsticks, so he started directly; Li Kewen took a small bite of the hawthorn biscuit, mouth full of saliva, and gave Jinyu a thumbs up; There is a gap, but seeing the diners recognize his craftsmanship gives Jin Yu a sense of accomplishment, which is better than eating a bowl of shaved ice in June, after all, he is a good cook who does not want to be a teacher.

The taste of the dishes is very good. At the beginning, there are not many people who talk, and they all eat with their cheeks shaken.Some of them even secretly loosened their belts. I'm afraid this is the best unspoken compliment to Jinyu.

"Zimo has been on sick leave for a few days, isn't he alright?" Jin Yu asked after drinking for three rounds, and handed a cup of herbal tea to Chang Sun Chong. I was so angry that I poured the white wine into my mouth, and I was so sad that tears came out, "I have never touched this cup of tea, it just happened to be cold, just to relieve the spiciness for you."

"Well, his wife gave birth two days ago, but the child didn't stop. He's been at home with his wife for the past few days." Cheng Huaimo is also a father. When talking about the child who died young, he looked regretful and shook his head.

"I remember he got married the year before last, right? I vaguely remember that he said that his daughter-in-law will only be in the year of cardamom in the new year (specifically referring to the girl's 13 years old, hoehe note)?" Jin Yu thought about it, and he was only in the first grade of junior high school after leaving behind. I won't scold him anymore. When I misfortune Yang Ying, she was not very old, but she still felt sorry for Zimo, "Why so early?"

"It's getting late." Li Ke, who was silent at the side, said: "In the first year of Zhenguan, the emperor father issued an order that if the family has a daughter and the year of Ji (specifically refers to the girl's 15 years old, hoe note) has not yet Marriage is a crime, so most folks get married in the cardamom age."

"It's because I didn't make it clear." Jin Yu liked this "big nephew" very much, and he understood it in an instant. He was talking to remind himself not to make a taboo, "I don't mean to say that the marriage is early, but the birth is early. some."

"It doesn't make any difference, right?" Zhang Sun was sweating hotly, but he heard everyone discussing something, but at this moment, his brain was a little insufficient, and if he asked, it felt like he was questioning Jin Yu.
