Chapter 208 Two sedan chairs
No matter what happens in the world, the wedding day of Xie Yuanfang and Princess Yilan, Cheng Hanbai and Princess Qingyao has finally arrived.

They didn't discuss it at the time and chose the same date. Later, because of the Northern Expedition, they both changed the date at the same time, and again to the same date.At this time, Prince De and Princess De were very busy.

Xie Yuanfang's two younger brothers also came to the capital from Chengdu to watch the ceremony. They brought eight carriages, all of which were for the eldest sister-in-law and the younger sister.All of a sudden, the Prince's Mansion was almost overcrowded.

Brother and sister Xie Yuanfang and Xie Qingyao, one got married and the other got married on the same day.This sedan is going in and out, don't you feel dizzy from the crowd?The key point is that the dowry boxes produced in Beijing are all the same red lacquered camphor wood boxes. If you accidentally lift the wrong box, you will be in trouble.

Qingyao didn't want to change the wedding date anymore, so she came up with an idea: "The boys who carry the boxes will wear different colors, and those who pick up and send off the bride will also wear different colors. When the time comes, the team will just order colors, won't it be enough?"

The prince and his wife thought that this was a good idea. It was better to make more clothes than to make a fool of themselves. They quickly invited Sun Yanxi and the Eleventh Prince of Tatar, and the three palaces decided on the color of the clothes.When Sun Yanxi went to the prince's house to talk about it, the prince laughed: "How come they are getting married like they are singing a big show?"

Cheng Yu was delayed for a few days due to the resignation handover. When he returned to the capital, Cheng Hanbai was getting married in a few days. It was all thanks to Sun Yanxi and the prince to arrange the materials and banquet. The father and son also sent out wedding invitations. Waiting happily for the bride to come in.

This time Cheng Yu was transferred back as the commander-in-chief of the rear army, and Kang Jian, the former admiral of the Nine Gates, was transferred to Xuanfu Town as the commander-in-chief.The prince could be said to have taken advantage of King Xian's selling off his official position to adjust, and took the opportunity to seek some personal gain. At the same time, he also made arrangements for Kang Jian, who had been forced out by King Xian.

How could Kang Jian not understand?Although he went to the border gates of the North to serve as a general, there was an advantage, that was, the level of the generals in the North did not matter. There were four or five ranks, and some as high as the first rank. They were promoted based on their military merit.This is more promising than the third-grade nine-door admiral.He also accepted the prince's favor.

On the wedding day, as soon as the palace door opened, Haitang took the two girls out of the palace and returned to the Cheng Mansion, helping to check the decorations in the mansion and the objects in the wedding room one last time.

Shuang'er and Ji'er, who have been helping in the house for a long time, smiled and said: "Mother, we have checked it a hundred times, so you can rest assured."

Because the bride is the princess, the prince also specially asked people to renovate and decorate the Cheng mansion and add a lot of furniture.The housekeeper carefully selected a few maids and put them at the disposal of the new mistress.There is a new atmosphere in the Cheng Mansion, and even the old lady becomes energetic.

Several princes from Wala came to the capital to see off their sister for marriage. Ninth brother and eleventh brother were the best friends with Yilan. Seeing that her sister was in a good mood, they started chatting and talking happily, so they guessed that her sister had come to the capital in advance. , I must be getting along well with the prince, and I feel a lot more relieved.

The East Palace gave dowries to both Princess Yilan and Princess Qingyao. Although the dowries of the two girls were not as good as those of the crown princess at that time, they were still very considerable.

After noon, Haitang forced her brother out of the house.

Cheng Hanbai rode a red snow-treading chasing wind, and led Cheng Dan, Cheng Shuang, Cheng Wen (Dark [-]), Cheng Wu (Dark [-]), Cheng Fei, Yu Lang, and a group of boys with a sedan chair, whistling and beating, towards Prince De Go to the house.

At the same time, the Crown Prince also rode his snow cone, wearing a red wedding dress, followed by Chu Yi, Wu Qing, Wu You, Wu Chen and Wu Feng, all handsome and unrestrained, attracting admiration from the onlookers.Prince De's residence had the largest number of people. Several princesses and princes were here, so the prince took Prince Cheng and his wife to Cheng's residence.Most of the generals who came to the Cheng Mansion were princelings.All the commanders of the five armies were present, and the Cheng Mansion was full of masculinity, as if it were a military meeting.

From Prince De's Mansion to Cheng's Mansion, you have to cross a small stone bridge. It just so happens that from Prince Oala's Mansion to Prince De's Mansion, you also have to pass this stone bridge.It was a coincidence that the auspicious time was the same and the distance was about the same. The two sedans carrying the bride met gorgeously on this small stone bridge.The people picking up and sending off relatives are all colorful and colorful, and they look really nice.

Shizi and Han Bai thought it was a coincidence, the two horses passed by with shoulder to shoulder, and the two groom officials smiled and gave a high five.But today, eight large sedans were used to carry the bride. The sedans were wide and two sedans could not pass each other.They were so crowded that they simply stopped on the bridge and couldn't walk.

The wedding brides on both sides were anxious. If they missed the time, their reputation would be ruined. Who would want to ask her to pick up the bride and marry her bride on time?Wouldn't that ruin your job?Both of them waved red handkerchiefs and came forward to reason:
"You let us pass first. The sedan cannot touch the ground. The person on our sedan is the princess!"

"We are still a princess on the sedan! The sedan cannot turn back, so you have to get out of the way!"

The two grooms were also dumbfounded. They were both getting married for the first time. They couldn't figure out the rules of carrying the sedan chair. They couldn't turn back, couldn't land on the ground, and couldn't pass if they were side by side. So what should they do?
The brides on the two sedan chairs were even more anxious.Marriage is also called Chengdu. It was originally carried into the husband's house at dusk. It would be dark if they didn't leave. They got up early in the morning to dress up. They had been hungry for almost a day, so they thought it would be over soon, so they entered the bridal chamber to find something quickly. food.

The charioteers on both sides were happy when they saw the situation clearly. This was not a confrontation between two armies. Those who finished the fight were all friendly forces and they had to protect them.Yu Lang shouted loudly to the other side: "What's so difficult about this? On the first day of the new year, you find four people in front, and we find four people in the back. Together we use Qinggong to lift the princess's sedan, one high and one low, won't it pass?"

Yes, these are not ordinary charioteers, all of them are martial arts masters.Can't go left or right, can't go up or down?The prince smiled and said to Major General Cheng: "I think it will work, so let's do it. Yu Lang is really a clever guy, brother-in-law, you must remember to promote him."

The two groomsmen agreed and went ahead with it.Yu Lang gave an order, and eight handsome young men used Qinggong together to lift the princess's sedan into the sky. One high and the other low, it passed by the princess's sedan.

The sedan crossed the bridge handsomely. The melon seed-eating people watching the show all clapped their hands and shouted: "Okay!"another one!Can this happen again?The two Xi Niangs were all sweating, but luckily they didn't miss anything, so they rushed the sedan to their respective mansions.

After worshiping heaven and earth, it’s time to drink. We are brothers on both sides, so we have to drink!The Crown Prince, Prince Cheng, and Prince Zhao Xiaohou, six or seven of them, drank Cheng Hanbai's wine first, and then rushed to Prince De's Mansion for a second drink.

When he returned to the East Palace, the prince felt even more tired than on his wedding day.

"Please count, how many of them are still unmarried? We must not let them do this again, getting married on the same day." Xie Ruitan lay on the bed with his back stretched out, his eyes unable to open: " Not to mention running away at both ends, you still have to drink double portions of wine."

As he was talking, Xie Ruitan suddenly felt his arms heavy. He quickly opened his eyes and turned around to see Cheng Haitang, who was lying in his arms, already asleep.
