Chapter 58 Getting Married
Xue Feibai took out a map of Yunnan, "Guess what happened here?"

Du Heng looked at what Xue Feibai pointed out. This is a border county that is almost adjacent to several small countries around it. To the west is a rushing river, and to the north is the end of a mountain range. The terrain is very complicated.

"Looking at the place, it seems that the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom and Dali Kingdom are both here?"

"That's right, there is also Lanna, which was confiscated by the Yuan Dynasty. This county is under their jurisdiction. Not long ago, there was a large-scale fighting between bandits and Annan people here! It is said that both sides suffered heavy losses. But The two sides have the same heart and did not let the officials of the two countries know~”

Xue Feibai's last sentence is really long and distant, which makes people think about it.

"How do you know about this kind of thing?" Du Heng asked.

"The eight hundred miles sent to Beijing are urgently written!" Xue Fei blushed and quickly praised me.

"You are really handy at opening people's letters privately. By the way, who is it for the [-]-mile rush?"

"Who else can it be, the Eighth Prince!" Xue Fei shrugged, taking it for granted.

If there is really a secret gold mine discovered by Long Wanzong and someone here, in this place where dragons and snakes are mixed, it will be mined without anyone noticing, as long as there is enough strength here.And the government is often the last to know.

Du Heng took a closer look: "This place belongs to the Cheli Military and Civilian Propaganda Department, right?"

Xue Feibai nodded, "Besides, people don't call the county town a county town, they call it 'Banna'; but Du Heng, you are really good at predicting things, Mengla is right in the south of Yunnan!"

Du Heng twitched the corners of his mouth, it's almost Annan, you're still in southern Yunnan.

mongla.Du Heng chewed the place name in her mouth. She seemed to have been to Yunnan when she was very young, but she forgot when and why she went there.

Forget it, this has nothing to do with her childhood memories, and she and Xue Feibai are about to leave for Mengla. This trip to Yunnan is imperative for them!
***
The wedding of the concubine of the Du family and the concubine of the Xue family was destined not to cause too much splash in Beijing.

Ordinary people's procedures for going through the six ceremonies have to be at least a few months or half a year. It is common for aristocratic families to go through a year or two, but when it comes to her, it only takes more than a month!
No, today is the day she leaves the cabinet.

Although Chuichuidada is no different from an ordinary marriage, I always feel that something is wrong.

The bridegroom official happily carried the sedan chair to welcome the bride, and the firecrackers from the woman's house rang a few times, and it was considered the sedan chair.Later, it was time to stuff red envelopes into the open door, which is called "blocking the sedan chair door". There were not many people behind the door, so Xue's family stuffed a few red envelopes into the crack of the door.
The rule of parking the sedan chair should be that the door of the sedan chair faces outward, and then someone from the woman’s family will light red candles and take a mirror to look at the inside of the sedan chair.

The woman's family will prepare banquet wine at noon, which is commonly called "open noodles wine" or "marriage wine" by ordinary people.It was also very embarrassing during the banquet. After all, Du Heng was just an unknown concubine daughter, and Xue Feibai was not an official and had no connections. What can people chatting about while eating wine?

Du Heng, Luo Min took the lead to come to Jiang Yan, and then swept away the dullness in the room.

Originally, Xi Niang was happily opening a face to Du Heng, saying auspicious words, and planned to ask for two wedding coins, but she didn't expect that once she entered Du Heng's room, it was like entering a snow cave, and she seemed to have no reason to chat.

Bite the bullet and said a few words, but the bride didn't respond, and the girl was also dull, so Xi Niang shut her mouth embarrassingly.It wasn't until Luo Min and the others came and brought Mrs. Quanfu that Xi Niang was relieved.

Du Heng didn't know Mrs. Quanfu either, and didn't care at all.It's just that when Mrs. Quan Fu combed her hair, Luo Min really said some words of blessings with emotion. Ah Qing and Chun'er, two girls who had just met, didn't have any wrong thoughts. Du Heng wiped away tears.

There was the sound of Xi Niang urging makeup from outside, and Mrs. Quan Fu just finished finishing Du Heng's hair.

This is the link where the bride is "lazy to dress up and unwilling to get married". Usually, it is reminded three times.No, as soon as the bride's boudoir friends ran out to stop people, ask for red envelopes, and test the groom's officer, Du Heng stood up and changed his clothes.

Du Heng didn't cry, and Mrs. Du didn't come to feed her in the sedan chair. This marriage was done calmly.

When she felt more or less embarrassed in her heart, Mrs. Quanfu realized that Du Heng's wedding dress seemed a bit unusual.

Her attire is very different, the phoenix crown is very simple, not even as grand as the phoenix crown and Xiapei look when folk girls get married.Ordinary women only get married once in their lifetime and can wear a phoenix crown once, but she doesn't seem to care!
Ordinary woman Dai Fengguan was married, looking festive and extraordinarily beautiful, but this one in front of her, although not alluring, but her melancholy and beautiful appearance and heroic figure are rare beauty among women;

The wedding dress is not the red wedding dress that has been widely used, but imitates the ancient system, using the color of the upper Xuan and the lower 纁, because the Xuan 纁 is the color of astronomical phenomena, so the ancient emperors often wore clothes with this color to go Enshrining Zen and offering sacrifices to heaven, etc., symbolize respect for heaven and earth and the harmony of yin and yang.

Marriage has been a major event since ancient times. Even commoners in ancient times could use this kind of color-matched clothing as wedding dresses, but whether the luxury and delicacy of the clothing and materials, as well as the workmanship of the colors can be accurate is another matter.

But Du Heng's suit, with her vicious eyes as a noble lady, is definitely the most standard up and down; I heard that this dress seems to be given by the groom's official...

But why does the groom insist on giving this kind of thing to the bride when she gets married?Weird...

So when Du Heng came out of the room, Luo Min and the others were completely stunned, and she said without holding back: "Du Heng, are you going to ascend the throne? But it's so good-looking..."

Ah Qing on the side immediately covered Luo Min's mouth: "Speak carefully!"

Chun'er frowned, it seemed that there was nothing unreasonable about wearing it like this, but few people wore it like this!

If you want to make a fuss about her wedding clothes, it doesn't seem to work. After the founding of the first emperor, Hu clothes were banned and imitated the Tang system; moreover, even the clothes worn by the ancient emperors to worship the heavens were worn by ordinary people when they got married. Du Heng wants to restore the Great Zhou that was thousands of years ago!

Seeing Du Heng and planning to leave without looking sideways, Mrs. Quanfu chased after her and shouted: "Miss Du Si, your hijab..."

Before I finished speaking, I regretted it. She is dressed like this today. Can she really wear a hijab in a proper way?Sure enough, Du Heng raised the fan in her hand. It turned out that she was planning to learn the way of covering her face with a fan in the Tang Dynasty. Well, there is nothing wrong with it.
