140 The Big Wedding 2

() Lying on the soft bed, Emperor Tianqi looked comfortable, and there were two beautiful maids helping to massage, this is the day an emperor should live!After returning from the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Emperor Tianqi has been in this posture all the time, and he is really tired.The entire process of the big wedding has been carried out here, and Emperor Tianqi can finally take a break. He glanced at Chen Hong who was standing aside, and Emperor Tianqi asked with a smile: "Chen Hong, how much did my big wedding cost?"

Hearing Emperor Tianqi's question, Chen Hong felt a little embarrassed, with a wry smile on his face, hesitating for a while before he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the country's money and food are in short supply, so the Empress Dowager said that the wedding needs to be kept simple, maybe... "

"If you have something to say, don't hesitate!" Seeing Chen Hong's appearance, Emperor Tianqi was agitated and said loudly.

"Yes, His Majesty's big wedding was frugal, so a total of 120 million taels of silver was used, 80 taels of silver from the internal treasury, and 40 taels of silver from the household department!" While talking, Chen Hong carefully looked at Emperor Tianqi, Very scared.

Emperor Tianqi didn't understand, but Chen Hong understood it very well. The emperor's big wedding this time can be said to not cost much. If Emperor Tianqi loses his temper, things will really be troublesome.Chen Hong clearly remembered that when Shenzong held the wedding ceremony for his two sons Cao, he spent 400 million taels of silver on the purchase of jewelry alone.Emperor Apocalypse's big wedding only cost 120 million taels of silver, which is a shabby and poor wedding in comparison.

Emperor Tianqi was stunned, this time he was really stunned, not because he spent less, but because he spent more. 120 million taels!If this sum of money is put in Liaodong, Northwest, it can be put anywhere!But now it is just a wedding. At the beginning, Emperor Tianqi allocated 100 million taels of silver to Xu Guangqi, which already felt very much.

Glancing at the terrified Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi sighed deeply. Perhaps in Chen Hong's opinion, the money spent on this wedding was too little.At this time, Emperor Tianqi finally understood that it was not that the Ming Dynasty had no money, but that all the money was in the hands of the big family, and that it was not spent where it should be spent. He was the biggest big family in the world!

After thinking about it, Emperor Tianqi said to Chen Hong, "How much does it cost in this palace for a month?"

Although I don't know why Emperor Tianqi asked this, Chen Hong didn't dare to touch Emperor Tianqi's bad luck at this time. He saluted Emperor Tianqi and said respectfully: "The monthly cost of this palace is about 15 taels. If If there are sacrifices or festivals, some will be added appropriately!"

Emperor Tianqi shook his head again and smiled wryly. Hearing the noise outside, he suddenly felt very harsh. It seemed that it was not the sound of joy at the wedding, but the death knell for the country.Lying slumped on the bed, Emperor Tianqi felt that this wedding was really full of irony!

No one knew Emperor Tianqi's mood, the outside was still very lively, and the envoys who welcomed the relatives left the Hall of Supreme Harmony and walked outside.At this time, the book of Fajialu was displayed in Danbi and the courtyard of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.The queen's guard of honor is displayed outside the Meridian Gate, among them is a queen's ceremony ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial valance, with a big phoenix embroidered with gold thread on the outer apricot satin curtain. The "female music" is located behind the Qianqing Palace and in front of the Jiaotai Hall.

The welcoming envoy, Liu Yijing, a scholar of the cabinet, will put the gold books and gold treasures in the "Dragon Pavilion".The guard of honor and the drum band are in the front, the messengers are in the middle, followed by the officials, eunuchs, and bodyguards who welcome the relatives. They go out of the Meridian Gate, and together with the queen's guard of honor, they carry a large number of gifts and go straight to Zhang's mansion!

The group of people stretched for several miles, with Jin Yiwei clearing the way in front of them, and there were countless people watching and following on the street.

Zhang Mansion has started small-scale renovations since Nacai; since Najib, it has started large-scale renovations; since the deadline, the whole mansion has been mobilized from top to bottom, and no one can be idle, renovating the house and making a big impact on the environment health.Although it can't be "overstepping" and making it as splendid as a palace, it must also be dazzling, and try to make people look "well-matched" with emotion.Just the whole family, the whole family, old and young, is too busy to buy new and new outfits inside and outside, not to mention, they have to decorate with lanterns and festoons, hold a wedding feast, and widely distribute "wedding invitations"! ,

Makeup for the bride is the most troublesome.After making such a big noise, almost everyone in the world knows that raw rice has basically become cooked rice, and "returning" is unlikely.However, if the emperor's son-in-law lifts his hijab, he is dissatisfied and unhappy, and the relatives of this family are not close, the emperor's grace will not be so great.So, take a bath, I can't wait to rub off a layer of Miss Zhang's skin!After taking a bath, I repeatedly rubbed my face and body with skin care agents made from mung bean flour and Western Region perfume.Then use cleansing milk made of honey, rose petals and other raw materials to coat the face, and use a high-grade paper film that is rare for court ministers to wipe gently.And skin cream made of suet, white jasmine and other raw materials is applied repeatedly.The last process is to apply face powder, eyeliner, eyeshadow, green eyebrows and red lips.On the two cheeks, two patches of "cheek red" came out.

As for the hairstyle, of course, you have to choose and deal with it according to the several styles stipulated in the "document".There are "levels", and it would be bad if you look like a concubine or a noble concubine.Whether it is the romantic "flying bun" or the novel "upward bun", it is necessary to consider the convenience of wearing a phoenix crown, and it must also suit Miss Zhang's face shape.The two strands of hair on the temples must "sag naturally" no matter what, like elegant cicada wings, making the eyes of the emperor's son-in-law shine when he sees them.

Say fast, then slow.After repeated scrutiny, repeated trials, repeated demonstrations, and repeated rehearsals, it was not until the night before the wedding that the final "decision" was made.But fortunately, with such a quiet appearance, it looks like Miss Qian is like a porcelain figure, she is not alive at all.However, both her parents agreed: beauty, and most importantly, "dignity".

Looking at herself in the mirror, Zhang Yan also shook her head and smiled wryly, with a look of helplessness on her face. She has no say in this matter.Even Xiaohuan, a maid who is close to him, is doing it for him with a face full of happiness at this time, with beads of sweat all over his little face.

At this moment, Miss Zhang was fully armed, sitting upright on the embroidered building, hearing the sound of the welcoming drums getting closer, the "drum" in her heart was beating more and more urgently.Before the time comes, I don't know whether this respectable appearance will be favored by "clients"!

Although they met Emperor Tianqi once, the two of them just glanced briefly, and Zhang Yan didn't even see what Emperor Tianqi looked like.Like a girl who is about to get married, I feel very uneasy!

"Xiaohuan, pour me a glass of water!" Seemingly feeling a little dry, he greeted Xiaohuan who was standing not far away.

"Miss, you have to be careful, don't make a fool of yourself!" Handing the water glass to Zhang Yan, Xiaohuan instructed with a nervous face.
