Chapter 1210 Postscript sixty-six·Bridal chamber flowers and candles
A few days before the wedding, several people from the Xie family came to Beijing.
Xie Shizhang, Xie Yiqin and his son came to Luoyang in advance to go through the process, mainly bringing money to purchase betrothal gifts.
This time Xie Yan's fourth uncle, fifth uncle and little sister came again.
The fourth uncle and the fifth uncle not only came to attend the wedding, but also came to inspect a new cement factory. Xie Yan licensed the cement patent to them for free and first set up a family factory in Cangzhou.
You may not set up a factory locally in Cangzhou. Anyway, you need to find a place with relevant raw materials nearby.
The younger sister, Xie Wan, came purely to have a wedding banquet and was escorted northward by loyal servants.
"The auspicious time has come!"
Xie Wan and her mother were standing in the corridor. When they heard the official's call, they couldn't help but crane their necks and look out.
Then, she was patted on the head by her mother.
"Stand still, don't move." Wang Yitong scolded in a low voice.
"Oh." Xie Wan pouted.
But I saw Xie Yan, wearing a red brocade robe, walking up to the elders to bow to him.
Xie Yiqin began to perform the memorial ceremony, picked up the wine cup on the tray, poured a glass of wine and handed it to his son and said: "Go to welcome Suyong, to show your favor to the ancestor." (It means: Go to greet the noble princess Chaoji, let us thank you.
The ancestral hall of the family is more glorious.)
"I only obey strict orders." Xie Yan took the wine glass and drank it all.
After drinking, Xie Yan put down his wine glass, bowed to his elders again, then turned around and went out to ride a horse.
Xie Wan chuckled and said, "Brother Six is so majestic today!"
Wang Yitong said proudly: "How can you be a princess without being majestic? Come on, let's go to the princess palace."
The Xie family's process is basically over here, leaving only the final evening ceremony.
Xie Yan is indeed majestic today. The red brocade robe is a gift from the emperor and is estimated to be worth hundreds or even thousands.
The influence of Zhu Guoxiang, Zhu Ming and his son on this time and space is also reflected in many folk customs.
For example, Zhu Ming joked that "marriage is like a small entrance examination", that is, getting married is like being named on a gold medal, so he changed the "new son-in-law" to the "groom" - in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the bridegroom specifically refers to the first Jinshi who was awarded the title of Langguan, and generally refers to the first person who was awarded the title of Langguan.
Official's new scholar.
Since getting married is like taking the imperial examination to become an official, it is also necessary to wear official uniforms. Ju Ming also allowed the groom to wear the style of the ninth-grade official uniform when welcoming the bride, so that all grooms would have an official experience on their wedding day.
This change in etiquette and customs was immediately popular among the people and spread throughout the country in just a few years.
Immediately afterwards, the "bride" was also renamed the "bride", and Ju Ming's obsessive-compulsive disorder was finally cured.
"Groom officer, groom officer!"
"Prince-in-law..."
On both sides of the street, people rushed to watch and shout, and they had nothing to do but ran to watch the excitement.
The delivery of betrothal gifts was also very lively yesterday. Boxes of betrothal gifts were carried from the Xie family's temporary residence to the palace. The gift boxes were all open, and you could see what was inside. Many onlookers were calculating their value.
Xie Yan was in a state of ecstasy at this moment, riding on a tall horse as if he was in the clouds.
Before time travel, I had always been very miserable, and I could never dream of such a scene.
With a smile on his face, Xie Yan held his hands toward both sides of the street. Because of his poor riding skills, he held the reins with his left hand and waved his right hand towards the crowd.
In the past, there were princes-in-law who would scatter coins along the way when welcoming their brides, and the onlookers would cause a stampede as they grabbed the money.
Now no one dares to throw away money.
"Groom officer, groom officer!"
"Catch flowers!"
In a luxurious restaurant facing the street, Wu Yaochen, Ding Shaoyan and other ghost-like young men were lying on the windows and shouting towards the street.
Behind them were servants holding flowers. The will-o'-the-wisp boys picked up flowers or garlands and threw them vigorously in the direction of Xie Yan.
It means that Xie Yan is marrying the eldest princess, otherwise these guys will definitely be mischievous and deliberately throw fruits at the groom, and compete to see who can hit the most hits. There is no way to hold them accountable afterwards. Throwing fruits and flowers can do that.
What bad intentions do you have?
More than ten years ago, a wealthy man from Beijing got married in a glamorous manner, but was thrown out of the marriage by the bad guys at the time.
A garland flew over and knocked Xie Yan's hat crooked.
Xie Yan couldn't help but turn around and immediately spotted the group of will-o'-the-wisp boys. He smiled and gave a middle finger towards the window of the restaurant.
Bastards, grandpa remembers you!
"I hit the mark, I hit the mark, give me the money quickly!" Ding Shaoyan cheered and celebrated, but he was playing a game of ruining the groom's officialdom.
Wu Yaochen said: "Don't be anxious, watch me show off my skills."
This guy picked up the garland and threw it towards Xie Yan, as if he was using a circle of heaven and earth to hit Nezha, the third prince of the Dragon King.
Xie Yan caught it and gestured upstairs again with his middle finger.
Straight bitches, I will deal with you sooner or later!
Wu Yaochen thought that showing his middle finger was a greeting, so he also smiled and pointed his middle finger at Xie Yan.
It was a bustling journey all the way to Donghua Gate, where the wedding procession stopped. Xie Yan was the only one riding a horse, leading his fourth uncle and fifth uncle, who were responsible for holding the geese, to the Donghua Gate.
Outside the Donghua Gate, there was a concubine standing dignifiedly, followed by dozens or hundreds of noble ladies.
They were responsible for sending the princess to the mansion, and now they had to wait slowly. When they had nothing to do, they began to criticize the groom.
They watched Xie Yan enter the Donghua Gate and started whispering to their girlfriends.
"Bachelor Xie is really handsome today. No wonder he has won the heart of the eldest princess."
"I heard that as a betrothal gift yesterday, there was a rare book of piano music, which contains the lost Guangling San and Hua Xu Yin."
"Is it true or false? "Guangling San" has been lost for thousands of years."
"My son-in-law works in the Hanlin Academy. How can he be false after seeing it with his own eyes?"
"That's really honorable!"
"I know "Hua Xu Yin", but "Guang Ling San" is also a lost Ci Pai?"
Inside Donghua Gate.
The courtesy officer greeted him, and Xie Yan dismounted.
Xie Yan was led by the courtesy officer to continue forward. His fourth uncle and fifth uncle each followed with a wild goose. After walking for seven or eight minutes, they finally arrived outside the inner east gate.
…
In the palace.
Zhu Tangxi looked at herself in the mirror again and again. No matter how beautiful she looked, she was almost dying of beauty.
Outside the courtyard, stood Emperor Dingtai and many widows of the former prince (the father of the young emperor).
These concubines and concubines, no matter how they spend their daily lives, today are all in a happy mood, dressed up and waiting for a banquet - a banquet is held in the palace.
In addition, there is a 14-year-old eldest princess who is the half-sister of the little emperor. She will not have an official princess title until she gets hairpin next year.
Together with Queen Mother Ye, they will send the princess to Donghua Gate.
"The Queen Mother of the East Palace has arrived!"
"The Queen Mother of the West Palace has arrived!"
There are two empress dowagers today. The little emperor's biological mother, Empress Dowager Ye, is the empress dowager of the East Palace.
There is another Empress Dowager Meng of the West Palace, who is the aunt of the young emperor. However, this woman is almost fifty years old and usually doesn't care about anything. She only eats fasting and chants Buddha's name in her bedroom.
Empress Dowager Meng was sitting in the carriage at the moment, playing with her rosary beads, as if today's events had nothing to do with her. Don't ask, just asking is to pray for the princess and the consort.
Queen Mother Ye opened the door and walked into the house: "You haven't dressed up yet?"
Zhu Tangxi stood up and ran around in circles: "Sister-in-law, do you think I look beautiful today?"
"Beautiful, beautiful, as beautiful as a flower, but that kid is cheap." Queen Mother Ye smiled with a smile on her face, as if she was about to send her daughter off for marriage.
Aunt and sister-in-law were sitting in the room chatting.
Until the ceremony officer shouted outside: "The auspicious time has arrived!"
Queen Mother Ye took Zhu Tangxi's arm and walked outside the courtyard to get on the carriage.
A group of cars drove forward slowly.
When they arrived at the inner east gate, everyone got off the bus.
Queen Mother Ye and Queen Mother Meng held Zhu Tangxi on their arms, while the other concubines, concubines, princesses, and female officials stood behind them and waited quietly.
"He who holds the goose enters!"
Xie Yan's fourth uncle and fifth uncle were being led into the inner east gate with great trepidation.
They entered the imperial city for the first time, and also entered the inner east gate. When they saw a large number of noble ladies in the palace in front of them, they were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads and did not dare to look again. They bent down and bowed and offered the wild geese in their hands.
At this moment, Xie Yan stood outside the inner east gate and kept bowing towards the gate until the ceremony officer checked whether the goose was healthy - as long as it was not a dead goose.
After Dayan was verified to be correct, Zhu Tangxi also faced the door and bowed to the consort across the inner east gate.
Soon, Zhu Tangxi came out surrounded by the ladies of the palace, and they looked at each other and smiled when they passed by Xie Yan.
Xie Yan opened his mouth and said silently: "Sister is so beautiful."
Zhu Tangxi felt so sweet in her heart that she also communicated with her mouth: "Wait for me!"
Their behavior of spreading dog food did not avoid others at all, which made many ladies in the palace burst into laughter. Of course, some people were jealous or sad. The concubine who came to marry the concubine was very lonely.
Xie Yan bowed to the princess again, and when he saw the princess changing to Zhai's carriage, he was led out of Donghua Gate by the courtesy officer.
"drive!"
This work is uploaded by the organizer~~
Xie Yan remounted his horse and galloped all the way to the princess' place. He wanted to rush back in advance and wait instead of going with the princess.
Zhu Tangxi sat in a brand-new Zhai car and was slowly taken to Donghua Gate by the nobles in the palace.
After getting off the bus, after some courtesy, Queen Mother Ye handed the princess over to the young princess guarding the door.
Zhu Tangxi got in the car again and drove out of Donghua Gate.
Outside the door, many noble ladies from Beijing lined up to see the princess off on foot.
There were more people watching on the street. It was unusual for so many ladies to gather together, and they didn't even take a car the whole way.
Many eldest girls and young wives in the folk, especially those who are unmarried, stare at the princess Zhai Che with envy. This pomp and battle is so beautiful. If you can experience it yourself, it will be worth living twenty years shorter.
.
"Your Highness, be careful and don't open the curtain!" Qingluan shouted as he followed the carriage.
Zhu Tangxi said: "I want it. I want to see with my own eyes how lively it is today."
Qingluan was speechless and too lazy to say more.
Today another plaque was added to the gate of the princess's house. This was Zhu Tangxi's idea.
Two plaques.
The top piece is: Qin Guojing's eldest princess.
The next piece is: Prince Consort.
No princess has ever done this, but Zhu Tangxi insisted on doing this to show how much love she has with her husband. This is not only the princess's family, but also the consort's family.
The band played and played and soon arrived at the gate of the mansion.
Under the praise of the etiquette officer, Xie Yan stood outside the gate and bowed to the princess who was getting off the car.
Zhu Tangxi bowed and returned the salute, then turned to salute the concubine and the noble ladies in the capital.
The concubine and the noble ladies in the capital returned the gift, which was regarded as completing the task of presenting the bride. Next, they all went to the palace to have a banquet with the nobles in the palace who presented the wedding.
The maid helped Zhu Tangxi through the gate, and was accompanied by Xie Yan to the inner courtyard dormitory.
The house is so big that it takes a long time to walk from the gate to the dormitory.
Standing outside the steps of the dormitory, Xie Yan bowed again and took the princess to the courtyard of the dormitory to wash up.
There are already palace ladies waiting there, hot water, towels are placed in various places, and there are also things such as urns for drinking wine.
There is no such thing as worshiping heaven and earth first and worshiping high hall secondly.
The female official who came out of the palace guided the consort and the princess to wash their hands and face, and then poured the wine from the palace into the wine.
"Sister!" Xie Yan smiled.
Zhu Tangxi's heart was full of sweetness, but she also looked annoyed: "Are you still calling me sister?"
Xie Yan said: "I will always be a sister. A sister and a wife!"
Zhu Tangxi glanced at him.
"Ahem!" The female officer couldn't stand it anymore and coughed repeatedly as a reminder.
Xie Yan then said: "Madam, please drink Hexin wine."
Zhu Tangxi raised his head and said, "Husband, please have a drink."
In fact, this thing does not require handing over cups, just two ladles holding wine, each holding a ladle and drinking.
However, Xie Yan held down the princess's hand. In the shocked eyes of the female officials, the couple held their forearms together and drank together, drinking the first real wedding wine in the world.
Zhu Tangxi found it very novel and surprising. This way of drinking made her smile, and the affection in her eyes almost melted away. She said angrily: "You are the only one who has many tricks, and you are not polite at all."
"As long as sister likes it." Xie Yan continued to flirt.
How could this enemy be so good at coaxing women? Even the obeisance brought many surprises.
Zhu Tangxi wished she could immediately throw herself into her lover's arms and have a loving relationship with him. She turned to the female officials and said, "Don't laugh anymore!"
The female officials quickly stopped their smiles and said with serious faces: "Your Highness, don't worry, we will never tell anyone about this matter."
But Zhu Tangxi said: "Who told you not to tell anyone about it? Just tell them, it's not some shameful thing."
"Pfft!"
Qingluan was the first to hold it in no longer, covering his mouth and laughing.
She understood what the princess was thinking and wanted to show her love to everyone in the world.
This love brain is hopeless.
The other female officers also suppressed their laughter until they helped the couple complete the wedding ceremony.
The evening ceremony is completed.
Zongzhengsi Qing and Xie Yiqin are responsible for greeting guests at home who come to have wedding banquets. The newlyweds do not have to go out and toast them everywhere.
Except for Xie Yan's relatives, the guests who came to have a drink today were all powerful and important officials.
All seven cabinet ministers came, not even a single one left.
This is nothing. In the Southern Song Dynasty in another time and space, the wedding of the princess of Zhou Han was a grand ceremony.
As soon as he heard his title, he knew how favored he was, both Zhou and Han.
At that time, the princesses of the Southern Song Dynasty had been dying in infancy. There had been no princesses getting married for many years, and the old emperor didn't even have a son. Not to mention the emperor was happy, even the ministers and the people were happy. The wedding of the princess of Zhou Han Dynasty was truly celebrated by the whole world.
Even the prime minister personally inspects the betrothal gift.
It's a pity that the title was too big to bear. In the year when the princess of Zhou Kingdom was promoted to the princess of Zhou Han Kingdom, the princess died of illness at the age of twenty-one.
"It's dark, it's quite lively outside." Xie Yan listened to the faint noise of the banquet.
The bright moon rises and the red candles burn.
Zhu Tangxi lay in her lover's arms, lying together on the wedding bed. She changed into a comfortable position after lying down for a long time: "It's a bit hot today, and I sweat a lot in my wedding dress."
"Sister's sweat smells good." Xie Yan took a deep breath.
Zhu Tangxi let him sniff everywhere, caressing her belly and said: "Husband, we have had sex many times, why is there still no movement? I really want to give my husband some children as soon as possible."
"Then let's make love ten times tonight!" Xie Yan turned over and held her down.
Zhu Tangxi smiled and said: "You will brag yourself. If you do it ten times, you will fall down from exhaustion."
"You little lady, how dare you underestimate your husband, today I will let you have a taste of my husband's tricks!" Xie Yan was furious and began to take off his clothes.
Zhu Tangxi pushed him away ruthlessly: "Oh, go take a shower first, you are covered in sweat."
"Wash together!"
Xie Yan picked up the princess and carried her on his shoulders like a bandit trying to rob the wife of the village, and walked towards the bathroom.
Zhu Tangxi was so frightened that she screamed again and again, and then laughed sweetly.
Qingluan curled his lips and said to the maid beside him: "Prepare the bathing soup."
