As fireworks exploded in front of the palace, Yingtian City began to boil.
Starting from West Chang'an Street, ending at Zhongzheng Street and Shengping Bridge, the main road for welcoming brides, countless people gathered on both sides of the road.
On both sides of the main road, streets and lanes spread the festive atmosphere like a tide.
It can be said that the whole city is in motion and all the people are celebrating together.
There were so many people on the road to welcome the bride that the procession, which obviously set off very early, finally entered the streets and alleys where the Duke Xinguo’s Mansion and the Marquis Xiping’s Mansion were located until noon.
A while ago, in order to prevent the dignity of the Xiping Hou Mansion from being damaged, before Mu Ying arrived at Yingtian City, the palace finally bought a large house next to Xin Guo Gong's Mansion, demolished the walls and put it together.
, it can be regarded as opening a new door.
Finally, there is no need to open a separate door in Xinguogong Mansion.
When the wedding team entered the streets of Gonghou, they were immediately blocked by Mu Cheng and Mu Ang, who led a group of third-generation young men from the Tang family of Xinguo Gongfu's family, and blocked the entire street. This is inconsistent with the usual steps for welcoming a bride.
There is no reason why the groom should be stopped before he reaches the door of the bride’s house.
Ren Hengtai and Fang Xiaoru looked at each other, shook their red robes and stepped forward hand in hand.
"I am very happy today. There are no strict rules in the palace, but you can't be so rude."
Mu Cheng closed his mouth and searched for something in the wedding team.
Mu Ang spoke up and said: "The two of you are getting married. The boys are young and energetic. Although they are used to playing tricks in the past, they also know the rules. We are not targeting His Highness today, but there is someone among the guests who are welcoming the bride.
I said before that I can stand up to the sticks of women like us."
Mu Ang didn't say any more.
He has found the bulging Zhu Shangbing hiding in the wedding team.
This guy actually knows how to dress himself in a bastard shell.
Ren Hengtai and Fang Xiaoru looked at each other, feeling helpless and smiling bitterly.
This is a dispute between juniors. Today is a happy day, and they can't really pretend to be elders or officials in the court.
Turning back, the two of them looked at the emperor's grandson, who was riding on a jet-black Western-style BMW carefully selected by the royal horse supervisor in the palace.
Zhu Yunxi was also helpless. According to the rules, he did not have to come to welcome the bride like the common people. In all the clan weddings in the past dynasties, the bride's family took the initiative to carry the bride there. All ceremonies were held in the palace.
Or held in the palace.
Even the prince's father's wedding was held according to these rules.
But when it comes to me, probably because of the old man’s whimsy, he actually wants to let himself and the people act as a model and go through the process of getting married.
Zhu Yunxi held the reins in his hand, looking sideways and lowering his head, but because there were so many people in the team, he couldn't find the shadow of Zhu Shangbing for a while.
In the crowd.
Zhu Gaochi pulled back Zhu Shangbing, who was shrinking from a bad experience, and said, "I'm waiting for you. There are so many people now, so you don't want our family to make a joke."
Zhu Shangbing shook his head repeatedly: "I didn't do anything. It was Brother Xi who got married, so why do I still have to take the blame?"…
Zhu Gaochi glanced at this brother, silently clasped his hands, lowered his eyelids, and said nothing.
Zhu Shangbing was very upset at the moment.
Why do you have to show off?
The two brothers of the Renmu family are brave men who are capable of beating a war elephant. Can I, with my thin arms and legs, be able to withstand a beating?
Forget about taking the blame, now it’s clear that I’m taking the blame.
Those two people are not humans, they are two sledgehammers!
Gritting his teeth, Zhu Shangbing was heartbroken. In order not to regret it, he rushed out of the crowd.
When the vision suddenly became clear, only the wall of people was left in front of me.
"Ah!"
Zhu Shangbing shouted loudly and rushed straight towards where brothers Mu Cheng and Mu Ang were.
Past.
"There are locust trees in the south, and the kudzu trees are tired."
"A gentleman who enjoys happiness will be lucky enough to live in peace and prosperity."
"There are locust trees in the south, and there are wild kudzu trees."
"..."
"A gentleman who enjoys happiness will be blessed with success."
The Xinguogong Mansion is filled with flowers and lanterns everywhere.
In the boudoir next to the Double Happiness window grille, a woman with elegant makeup is holding a rhinoceros horn comb to comb the hair of Tang Queqing, who is wearing a Xiapei and has just had a facial today.
The boudoir was full of maids and maids from the Xinguo Palace, and everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles.
After today, the Duke's family will be transformed from a family of noble generals in the Ming Dynasty, and will have the identity of a foreign relative. If everything goes well in the future, the Duke will be the uncle of the country and will be honored for many dynasties.
The person who was dressing up Tang Queqing at this time was none other than her second aunt. As for why it wasn't her mother who was dressing her up, it was all because Mrs. Tang was already sitting aside with a smile on her face but tears on her face. .
These are tears of joy and no one will say anything.
When the girls saw that the second master’s wife was about to comb the little lady’s hair, they started to moan in unison.
"Once you comb your hair all the way to the end, the couple will raise their eyebrows together."
"Two combs are combed to the end, and the couple fly together."
"Three combs are combed to the end, and the knot will always be tied together, and the white hair will never be separated."
Mrs. Tang’s Second Master put down her comb and looked at Tang Queqing in the mirror with heavy makeup and hair. She smiled and said, "My makeup and hair are done."
The two maids immediately took the phoenix crown that had been prepared from the table nearby.
Surrounded by pearls and emerald green, the walls and beams shine brightly.
Huang En's nine-dragon and nine-phoenix crown is decorated with countless pearls, precious stones and bright jade. The beam crown is forged from gold and embellished with red stones and orbs.
The two maids carefully lifted the phoenix crown and gently placed it on Tang Queqing's head.
In an instant, the house was filled with jewels, gold and jade, and was magnificent.
"The grandson is here!"
"The grandson is here to marry the young lady!"
Just at this time, there was a burst of cheers from the servants and maids outside the house.
At the same time, the house was filled with congratulations.
"One yang first moves, two surnames are harmonious, celebrate three mores, possess four beauties, and in the fifth life it will be prosperous and conquer the phoenix divination."
"The six rites are completed, the seven sages are gathered together, the eight tones are combined, the nine harmonies are sung, and the harmony is perfect."

In the Xipinghou Mansion next to Duke Xinguo's Mansion, a scene similar to this happened at the same time.
"Hey you...hey you..."
"Hey, you, you, you, you..."
"Hey, you, you, you, you..."
In front of the Duke's Mansion, Zhu Shangbing, who finally exerted his invincible power on his own, broke through the siege and opened a way for Zhu Yunxi...
But before he had a chance to show off, Zhu Shangbing felt pain all over his body, as if his flesh and blood were being separated. Zhu Shangbing could only reach out and hold Zhu Gaochi tightly beside him to barely stand firm.
Zhu Shangbing looked resentfully at Mu Cheng, Mu Ang and the boys from the Tang family who were standing on the steps.
These people are bastards!
Specialize in picking out thick skin and rough flesh, and attack areas where trouble will not occur.
Zhu Shangbing feels that his butt now is as thick as a thigh compared to yesterday.
Avoiding the acupuncture points and muscles and bones, the pieces of skin and flesh look like countless villains are beating them with hammers and iron drills at the same time.
"No general can handle this matter!"
Zhu Shangbing was indignant, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he gasped continuously. It took him a long time to finish his words, and then he stared at Zhu Yunxi, who was nervously waiting for the brides to come out, like a gazebo stone on the top of the mountain with extremely resentful eyes. Zhu Gaochi hummed twice: "Do you think Brother Xi can hear what you are saying now?"
Zhu Shangbing opened his mouth and sighed silently.
"He can't even hope to get anything done tonight!"
Zhu Gaochi frowned, lowered his head and looked sideways at Zhu Shang whose whole face was entangled
Bing, I don’t know where this guy’s ribs are in the wrong place.
……
Night.
Ying Tiancheng has fallen into a carnival.
The people inside and outside Yingtian City not only received one tael of silver from each household as a reward from the palace, but they even opened running water banquets outside the Xinguo Gongfu and Xipinghou Mansion. And because there were so many people who came to eat at the banquet and congratulate them,
More and more banquets were arranged, and from noon to evening, the streets and alleys of a large block were filled with banquets at the duke's mansion.
Later, for some unknown reason, the Wuning Prince's Mansion in Zhongshan also opened a running water banquet to celebrate the grandson's wedding and the Ming Dynasty.
At the end, all the noble families in the city were setting up flowing banquets.
When night falls, the entire Yingtian City is soaked in the aroma of wine.
Today, the emperor's favor has a purpose, and King Wu can't help it.
In the palace.
Perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had watched his favorite grandson finally get married, and drank with his ministers from noon to evening.
Concubine Hui, who was in charge of the concubines in the palace and the nobles and officials in the court, sent people out five or six times, but she could not stop the emperor who was already drunk.
As for the real owner Zhu Yunxi, he has reached the point where laser lights appear in front of his eyes.
"Brother Xi!"
"The Duke of Yingguo proposes a toast to you!"
Zhu Shangbing endured the pain in his body, holding Zhu Yunxi, who was smelling of alcohol, with one hand, and waited in front of the boy from the family of Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo.
Before Zhu Yunxi could speak, Zhu Shangbing put the wine bottle he was holding in his other hand into Zhu Yunxi's hand.
"Gong Yingguo?"
"Gongfu...Gongzhongtiguo..."
"Drink!"
Zhu Shangbing didn't need to take action, Zhu Yunxi was already holding the wine bottle and stuffing it in his mouth.
Zhu Gaochi, who was following behind, frowned, feeling that things were getting more and more wrong.
Why is the aroma of this wine getting stronger and stronger?
There was a clang.
The wine jug still filled with more than half of the wine fell to the ground, and the aroma of wine instantly filled the hall.
Zhu Yunxi finally couldn't hold on anymore and pulled Zhu Shangbing, and they collapsed on the ground...
"What did you feed him?"
Zhu Gaochi rushed up with a quick step, led a group of cousins to pick up Zhu Yunxi, and then looked at Zhu Shangbing with wide eyes, who still had a calm expression on his face.
Zhu Shangbing shrugged and curled his lips: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Brother Xi just got drunk from the alcohol."
When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he didn't understand.
There is something wrong with this wine!
After taking a look at the old man and uncle who were still surrounded by many courtiers, Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth and stamped his feet fiercely.
"Why do you call me Brother Xi to be together tonight?"
As today's wedding envoys, Ren Hengtai and Fang Xiaoru did not participate in the toasting procession for the emperor and the prince.
The two of them looked at the prosperous wedding they organized, with faces full of pride.
In just a blink of an eye, I saw my grandson being held hostage by a group of clan princes, and he hurried over.
"What's going on?"
Fang Xiaoru looked worriedly at Zhu Yunxi, who had his head lowered and was mumbling something.
Ren Hengtai glanced at the scene, the dazzling array of wine bottles on the ground, and then looked at his grandson's discolored chest that had been washed away by the wine, and waved his hand with a sullen face: "Send His Highness back to the East Palace quickly, and ask someone to prepare sobering soup!
”
Ren Hengtai no longer expects his grandson to complete all the wedding procedures tonight. He only hopes that tomorrow, his grandson, who has obviously been drunk, can complete the final rituals.
……
Night.
Completely deep.
Although the carnival in Yingtian City is not over yet, and the fireworks never end in the night sky as if they are free. But the banquet in the palace is slowly coming to an end.
The Ming Palace, which is usually frugal on weekdays, lit up all the candles and red lanterns on the Mid-Autumn Festival night in the 27th year of Hongwu.
The night wind, which had become increasingly cooler, blew by, blowing away the excitement and the aroma of wine in the palace.
Southeast corner of Fengtian Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang, with his body smelling of alcohol blown away by the night wind, put his hands on his hips and silently stared at the Shenlie Mountain in the distance for a long time. Then his eyes silently moved down and landed in the direction of Ciqing Palace (East Palace).
Prince Zhu Biao walked past the servants and maids who were evacuating the tables, chairs and stools in the Fengtian Hall, as well as countless drunken officials. He wore an indigo mink cloak and a black cloak on his arm and came behind the old man. p>
Zhu Biao raised the cloak with both hands, shook it in the air, and then carefully put it on the old man's shoulders.
"It's late at night, father should be careful not to catch the cold wind."
"We are so happy, I just feel a fire in my heart, even more than when my family broke into this stone city."
Zhu Yuanzhang kept his gaze and spoke softly.
Zhu Biao looked thoughtful and smiled slightly: "In the twenty-seventh year of the reign of the Kingdom, even the children of the children have all gotten married."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned back to look at the eldest son in the family, reached out and took his hand, pulling him to stand side by side with him, then raised his head and looked at Shenlie Mountain again.
"Your mother should also be very happy today. She likes to see such lively scenes."
"When we were still in Haozhou, whenever a banquet was held, she would always go there in person. We said that we are different now, and no one would feel comfortable going there. She just didn't listen, and only said that we
Only when the family members are gone can she feel at ease. After drinking a glass of wedding wine, she will be happy for several days.”….
Zhu Biao's face showed a look of reminiscence, and he whispered: "Mother will definitely enjoy happiness in Jiutian now."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said seriously: "She is the one who deserves to enjoy happiness! The children and grandchildren have grown up, and we are old. I won't be able to walk your road for you for long. Let's keep walking, keep walking.
In a few years, you will be the masters of the world. We have nothing to ask for in our lives. In the first grade of junior high school, we just wanted to have a full stomach. Later, we just wanted to have a full stomach for the people of the world. Now I still want my family to be harmonious.
Harmony.
We are also thinking about something of our own now."
Zhu Biao was a little moved. He turned back to look at the old man and whispered: "Dad, please tell me."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the boss and smiled: "When we die, you can bury me and your mother together. Just go to the mountain every year and tell us how our family and the Ming Dynasty are doing. If only I could have another bowl.
Pickles, rice and a pot of soju are the best."
Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel that his eyes were bulging, and his eye sockets were burning, but he still kept nodding.
But Zhu Yuanzhang burst out laughing, waving his hands and shaking his head, cursing to himself: "I really think Laohu is confused! How can I talk about these things on such a happy day!"
"Our Ming Dynasty will only become more and more prosperous and prosperous!"
…………
"It's a bit colder this year than in previous years."
"It's not even the cold month (the eleventh month of the lunar calendar), but it has already snowed so heavily in Yingtian Mansion."
Yingtian City, the newly built back garden of the Emperor Taisun's Mansion next to Qingxi Jiuqu.
Desulfurization and denitrification aromatic carbon is burning in the greenhouse, and the steam is as hot as a sunny day in spring.
Outside the greenhouse, three consecutive days of heavy snow had piled up foot-thick white cotton-padded jackets on the roof. Many of the transplanted trees from various places that had just been planted but had not really taken deep roots were crushed by the heavy snow. p>
The servants of Taisun's Mansion are using shovels to dig out more passages around the stone road. Some people are using hacksaws to cut off the crushed forest trees so that they can be easily transported out. Wait until the spring of next year to open more passages from inside.
The government will arrange for people to come over and replant.
[Recommended, changing sources to chase books is really useful, everyone should try it soon.]
But outside the greenhouse, the wind and snow are still there, and no one knows what the scene will be like tomorrow after cleaning up now.
And now it is more than two months before the wedding on August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Tang Queqing, the new concubine of the Ming Dynasty, has changed into a woman's hair. She is now wearing a thick coat and has a worried look
Looking at the busy palace people outside.
Tang Queqing continued: "I don't know if the people's houses have collapsed and they are suffering from hunger and cold."
After chanting, Tang Queqing turned to look at Zhu Yunxi, who was in the greenhouse reading the memorials that had been recently submitted from the Jiangnan area.
Mu Caiyun, the concubine of the grandson, was sitting on her knees, studying ink, adding tea, and delivering memorials.
"The memorial from Yingtian Prefecture has been submitted a long time ago. There are eight counties in Shangyuan, Jiangning, Liuhe, Jiangpu, Jurong, Lishui, Liyang, and Gaochun. Houses collapsed both inside and outside the city. Fortunately, there were not many casualties. Yingtian Prefecture has dispatched grain and grass for disaster relief.
, the tax bureau has also adapted measures to local conditions and resettled the people nearby, and the post station has also sent extra manpower to clear the official roads, hoping that the disaster will be calmed down before the end of the year."…
Zhu Yunxi never raised his head, but explained softly.
Tang Queqing pursed her lips and nodded.
Just when she was about to speak, she heard a snap.
Zhu Yunxi slapped a memorial on the table with a gloomy face.
"Jintan County is incompetent!"
Zhu Yunxi's face was gloomy, and he looked at the other greenhouse connected to the Nuan Pavilion: "Sun Cheng."
Sun Chengli, who had been waiting in another greenhouse, rushed over immediately: "Your Highness."
"Send a message to the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment, and Dali Temple. Jintan County is unable to provide disaster relief. What should we do if there are officials in the six ministries of the imperial court?"
After saying this, Zhu Yunxi threw the memorial in front of Sun Cheng that he had received from Jintan County and rushed to Beijing.
Sun Cheng picked up the memorial and said with a deep expression, "I accept the order."
After saying that, he turned back to the greenhouse next door, took the red cloak he brought with him, wrapped it around him, and got into the wind and snow.
Tang Queqing frowned slightly, but her grandson didn't say how incompetent Jintan County was, so she didn't ask. She just took a sweet orange from the side that had been roasted on the stove for a while and sent it to Zhu Yunxi. p>
The charcoal-grilled oranges will remove all the sourness, completely stimulating the sweetness, and most of them will not make people angry anymore, leaving only a sweet and greasy warm taste that wraps the taste buds.
But Zhu Yunxi, who ate four grilled oranges in succession, could not relax his frown at all.
The past two years of Ming Dynasty seemed to be prosperous and prosperous.
Perhaps he was blinded by this current situation, which made Zhu Yunxi forget the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty.
Little Ice Age.
When will more than a foot of snow fall in Jiangnan?
He has never seen it before!
"Rainfield."
There was another call in the greenhouse.
Yutian, who was waiting next door, walked in quickly.
Now that Yutian has become the eunuch in charge of Taisun Mansion, his eyebrows are more heroic, and he is also more calm and strong.
When he arrived in front of Taisun, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, this servant is here."
Zhu Yunxi didn't even raise his head, and said in a deep voice: "Tell the six departments, three Dharma departments, five temples, and all the departments and Yamen, I want to decide on the local winter affairs this year."
"Tell them, whether it is Da Jiuqing or Xiao Jiuqing."
