第十二集扶颠持危第八回璧合珠联(3/9)

                                        再来便是二十多个传统步骤，至此婚礼终于完成了大半。接着下来，便是喝合卺酒。
                                                                                                                                                                合卺的本意，并非单是喝交杯酒，唐朝时代，是把葫芦从中间破开，剖开分成各半，合起来则成一个完整的葫芦。再以半边葫芦代杯盛酒。
                                                                                                                                                                因为葫芦带有甘苦之味，酒水自然变成苦酒，夫妻共饮合卺酒，不但指夫妻合二为一，永结同好，还有夫妻同甘共苦之意。合卺酒要共喝三次，名为三祭酒，初祭酒，代表与子同衣；次祭酒，代表与子同食；终祭酒，代表与子偕老。
                                                                                                                                                                喝完合卺酒，婚礼已大致完结，最后一项是解缨礼，必须在新房进行，外人难以看见。这时，新郎新娘退回房间，当日不能再与宾客见面，招呼宾客和酒宴，全由主婚人代劳。
                                                                                                                                                                辛钘却和宫英明不同，因他同娶四个妻子，最后的解缨礼便得逐一来进行，挨次去四位妻子的房间。辛钘早已计较好，先由小雀儿开始，接着是筠儿和霍芊芊，最后是尚方映雪。
                                                                                                                                                                这个安排，当然有他的道理。当他进入尚方映雪的房间，却见她低垂着头，独自坐在案前。
                                                                                                                                                                几案之上，放满一碟碟贺果糕点，还有一瓶美酒，酒瓶旁边放着两只邛窑绿彩单耳杯。只见辛钘微微一笑，坐到她身旁。
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           尚方映雪心里嚭嚭乱跳，把头垂得更低，不敢望辛钘一眼。辛钘道：“现在我要为新娘子解缨了。”一语说罢，移开她头上的高冠，再慢慢解开发髻，一头乌亮柔滑的青丝，宛如瀑布般奔泻而下。
