The preparatory preparations for the wedding, including receiving a gift, fortune-telling, accepting a betrothal, and asking for a date, were quickly completed. What kind of betrothal gift Lu Yan prepared and what dowry Nongyu prepared? There are different opinions outside, but they are all
No accurate information leaked out. Everyone's energy for gossip gradually passed over time, and the days should go on as usual.
In a blink of an eye, the official wedding day came, and the Imperial Prefect’s Office held a grand banquet and entertained guests, which caused a sensation in at least half of Xianyang. Officials of all sizes were present, and the congratulatory gifts were countless. The servants of the Imperial Prefect’s Office were all too busy to touch the ground.
.
To be honest, if it weren't for the respect and etiquette, Lu Yan would not have held such a big wedding just to give Nongyu the title of his real wife.
Because of his status, this wedding was inevitably tainted with political elements in the officialdom. Was Lu Yan familiar with these so-called guests? And bringing political elements into the family was something he had always hated and tried his best to bring.
Avoided.
The Imperial Preceptor's Mansion has its own Gu Shuang, Hui Liang Yi and E Huang presiding over it. As the groom, Lu Yan needs to go to greet the bride Nong Yu in person at dusk.
Dusk is the time when the sun sets below the horizon. Although the sun is not visible, there is still light on the ground. "Marry a woman at dusk", which is the origin of the word "marriage" in marriage.
Lu Yan was wearing a black robe today. The delicate texture of the clothes was woven with a pair of phoenixes, and the cuffs and lapels were slightly decorated with red, which was solemn and a little festive.
Wedding costumes in this era were all black, and generally followed Zhou etiquette. Marriage was a solemn and solemn event. Until the Han Dynasty, various festive and unrestrained elements were gradually added, but the black dress remained until the Tang Dynasty.
He mounted a majestic horse and stroked the decorated horse's head twice. The horse snorted twice and seemed quite happy.
Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Yan clamped his horse's belly, and the welcoming team slowly started to move towards Zilanxuan.
Even though night is approaching, Xianyang City is still empty of people. People gather on both sides of the road to join in the fun, talking in various languages, and the noisy popularity fills the sky above Xianyang.
"Sir Lu Yan, you really dare to do something that others wouldn't dare to do. Going to a romantic place to welcome the bride in person is really eye-opening."
"Alas~ What's so good about this wandering actress' daughter? Mr. Lu Yan can't find a wife of any kind, but he does this kind of thing for her, alas~"
"I'm afraid she is a peerless beauty, otherwise I wouldn't have made the Imperial Preceptor so impulsive."
"How come you are saying that such a prosperous, knowledgeable and single-minded man as the Imperial Master is so cheap as a prostitute?"
"Being able to do this for the woman you love is what a man should do~ One day, I will be like this to bring back Miss Lan!"
"Shut up, I'll break your legs carefully."
Switching to Nongyu's side, Zilanxuan was under a lot of pressure today. Even if the people gathered around Lu Yan to express their displeasure, they didn't dare to say it clearly. But it was different here in Zilanxuan, where all the coquettish bitches were
That's putting it lightly.
At first glance, Nongyu's outfit looks similar to Lu Yan's, with black pure clothes, girdle, placket, and cuffs slightly decorated with red stripes. Her long burgundy hair is tied up, and she wears a dark emerald white bead hair ornament with a carved flower.
A copper hairpin inlaid with beads is worn through it, making her look elegant and dignified; her plain face is wearing red makeup. In the past, it was a pure and elegant snow lotus, but today it is a gorgeous and graceful peony.
Hu Hui looked at Nongyu who was getting her make-up done and was waiting, and praised with bright eyes: "Well, my Nongyu really shocked me. I guarantee that the Imperial Master will be extremely happy!"
Hu Quan sat opposite his daughter. After looking around, he held Nong Yu's hand and said, "Mother has already told me what I need to explain. You must take care of yourself."
"Mom, don't worry, Nong Yuhui will take care of you."
At this time, a deep voice came from the side, "Oh! The apprentice I just accepted ran away to someone else's house. I feel bad about it."
Hu Hui was startled and exclaimed: "Master Kuang Xiu, why are you still here today!"
"Miss Hui, what are you talking about? Master, master, since Nongyu has accepted me as her master, how can I, the master, not be here on the day of her wedding?"
Kuang Xiu pretended to be dissatisfied and looked at Hu Hui, while facing Nong Yu, he was full of joy, "Before you became a disciple, Lu Yan gave me a copy of the peasant music as a gift; after that, I specially asked an acquaintance from the north to customize one.
Qin, if I give it to you today, think of it as a gift from Master."
"Thank you, Master."
Nong Yu just wanted to stand up and salute, but Kuang Xiu directly used his inner strength to hold him back.
"Okay, no need to bow, the bride's makeup must not be touched."
Hu Hui walked to the window, opened the curtain and saw a bunch of vicious people on both sides of the road. She couldn't help but cursed: "There are so many people outside. If you can't eat the grapes and say they are sour, aren't you just jealous and jealous?"
Well, it’s bad luck!”
Nong Yu smiled lightly and said: "It's okay, auntie. To use Mr.'s words, if someone is not having a good life, it would be too cruel to not let her scold her."
Kuang Xiu was very satisfied with Nong Yu's mental state and nodded: "Yes, to be Lu Yan's wife, you must be mentally prepared to withstand the wind and rain."
Nongyu walked to the window and looked at the turbulent crowd below, insulting and looking down on her, and said calmly: "Don't worry, mother, master, and aunt, I have already made preparations. What's the way forward? My husband and I
We will face it together."
The crowd below suddenly burst into cheers. The previous trolls instantly changed their tone and started singing praises. The team of the Imperial Preceptor's Office, headed by Lu Yan, slowly appeared in Nong Yu's eyes.
The two Hu sisters also looked through the window, while Kuang Xiu leaned against the window.
The welcoming team stopped at the entrance of Zilanxuan. Lu Yan jumped off his horse and glanced coldly at the surrounding onlookers. The suddenly heavy air frightened many people and changed their expressions.
"Humph." He snorted coldly and strode in.
Hu Quan smiled with tears in his eyes, held his daughter's hand and rubbed it twice before letting go, "Nongyu, get ready, it's time to go."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Mother, my daughter is gone."
The so-called personal greeting means that the groom personally goes to the bride's house to invite the bride and pays homage to the matriarch's elders. After that, the groom goes home to wait while the bride is sent to the groom's house by his relatives.
Lu Yan came in and paid homage to Hu Quan, Hu Hui, and Kuang Xiu, who could barely be considered one, and then set off back home.
After getting the jade, he set off, escorted by Kuang Xiu, all the way to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
…
"The Imperial Master is back!"
"The groom is back!"
"Huu~" Lu Yan jumped off the horse, patted the horse's back, and handed the reins to the servant. He turned around and hoped that Nongyu would arrive soon. He was about to look forward when he suddenly heard a voice, "The king has arrived~"
The crowd moved out of the way, and Zhao Gao drove his carriage slowly towards them.
Many officials gathered in the Imperial Prefecture rushed out to greet him in panic, "Greetings to your Majesty~"
Ying Zheng opened the curtain and walked down on the small bench placed by Zhao Gao, "Mr.'s bride has not arrived yet. I came at the right time, just in time to let me see which goddess can impress my teacher. Haha~"
"Yan is really flattered that the king can come to Yan's wedding."
Ying Zheng came over and pulled Lu Yan up, who was saluting, and patted his shoulder, "Oh, you and I don't need to be so polite. Come, give me a congratulatory gift."
"The King of Qin's government is a gift of a thousand pieces of gold~"
He nodded with satisfaction and whispered to Lu Yan, "When I got married to Mi Hua, my grandmother the Queen Mother also congratulated me with a thousand pieces of gold. Sir, please don't think it's too little. No matter how much it is, I will be scolded by Shi Bi."
"Your Majesty pays great attention to courtesy, so I will accept it."
"It's time. Soon, sir, you're going to get married. Fusu can already speak. When will you, sir, the great master, be ready to start working?"
Lu Yan was speechless for a moment when Ying Zheng said, "I got married, and you mentioned Fusu. Doesn't it mean that you have the idea of marriage now..."
Ying Zheng immediately smiled and said: "Sir, you are wise, if you and your wife have a girl, I plan to let Fusu marry her as a wife; if it is a boy, I will choose a daughter to be his wife in the future. What do you think, sir?"
Alas, there is no way to escape, unless there are no children...
Lu Yan could only agree without hesitation.
The monarch and his ministers just stood and talked quietly, and the Nongyu team gradually arrived in the distance.
