Jinyi Night Walk

Marrying Mrs. Zheng is probably a big deal for ordinary people. She is the head of the family. Possessing the virtue of women's obedience and obedience is related to the stability and prosperity of the family.Therefore, it is said in "Hunyi": "It is the old woman who is obedient, and then reconciles internally, and then the family can grow up with debts."

For the princes, princes and ministers, the wife of the wife has more functions and functions, so don't be careless.

During Yang Xu's emergency preparations, Dingguo Mansion, as Ming'er's natal family, is also making various preparations.Princess Ming'er must also enter the palace every day, and the female officials in the palace will conduct final training on women's morality, women's language, women's appearance, and women's etc.

Of course, there is also the obligation to serve her husband. The matters related to bed and family are usually taught by the mother, but now Ming'er only has the elder sister.This elder sister is also the current empress, and her mother returned from the Ming Dynasty, so it is difficult to take a few spring palace paintings and teach her these things with her sister, so she had to send them to a married female official to teach them.So Xiao Ming'er has seen a lot of spring palace paintings recently, and I don't know if she has had a spring dream at night.

Finally, the day of the big wedding arrived.

On the third day of September, it is suitable for offering sacrifices, fasting and offering sacrifices, tailoring clothes, closing tents, making alliances, getting married, moving into the house, meeting relatives and friends, praying for blessings, praying for heirs, and putting on beams

Tail star is created by the grace of the Lord, wealth and glory increase, fortune is brought into the house of Baoxing, harmonious marriage and noble sons and grandchildren, sons and grandsons of men and women, and generations of princes and princes are famous far and wide.

Early in the morning, Duke Fu's mansion began to get busy up and down.More than half of the officials in charge of etiquette in the Ministry of Rituals came to help, and Xia Xun was so busy in every way.On this day, it is said that the groom and the bride are the protagonists, but these two protagonists can only be at the mercy of others, even if Xia Xun is high-ranking and powerful, Ming'er is honorable, and now a mere ninth-rank official and an experienced The old lady can command the two of them to circle around if they say something.

At three poles in the sun, Xia Xun's wedding reception team waited for the auspicious time, and they fought in the Jinhuang Gate.

Finally went out.

Originally, Mr. Zhang Xitong planned to hold the wedding according to the ancient etiquette.Weddings, twilight ceremonies, are married at dusk. Didn’t you see that in Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio, there are often descriptions of the prince’s family welcoming the bride, and the servants holding candles to light the way in front of the groom’s horse?However, it is too troublesome to strictly follow the ancient rituals, especially with Xia Xun's background and status, there are so many congratulators, and there are many congratulators who come from other places. .

In this era, many families have switched to holding weddings during the day, and not many people strictly follow the ancient rituals to greet their relatives at night, so the empress, who attaches great importance to sister weddings, has no objection.

The Xu family is called a temple, and there is a mat dedicated to the gods of the late father Xu Da, and on the right is a table for the gods to rely on.Ming'er was wearing a bright red wedding gown, a phoenix crown and a xiapei, and a red hijab decorated with pearls on the four corners of her head. She stood quietly, motionless, but her heart was already beating like a small drum.

Xi Niang stood on Ming'er's right, gently holding her hand. The maids and maids who usually waited on Ming'er's daily life were all dowry, and they all wore new clothes. They stood neatly behind Ming'er. The original crew waited on her own lady, and they could be regarded as Ming'er's confidant team in charge of the Yang family.

The deafening sound of firecrackers sounded, Ming'er's hijab moved slightly, and a pair of catkins were clenched together under the sleeves, Ming'er thought nervously: "He's here!"

The ceremonies and music were ringing, and they were extremely joyful. The Xu Mansion was also wearing red and hanging colors today, which was extremely festive.Ming'er stood in the temple again for an unknown amount of time before she heard the voice gradually reaching the door, she couldn't see anyone with her head covered, she only heard the sound, and knew that it was the second brother who led Yang Xu in, so she bowed first General Xu... saluted the elders of the Xu family again, and was busy for a long time. Xi Niang lightly pushed Ming'er's right arm. Ming'er knew that it was time to go out, so she was supported by the Xi Niang walk forward.

After crossing the threshold, the second elder brother delivered a congratulatory speech and stepped up the steps. The second sister, who had rushed back to Beijing to attend the little sister’s wedding, tied a small belt and scarf on her behalf for her. After leaving the hospital, the third sister, Princess An, hung a silk bag for her , put on a smock...

The floor was paved with red carpet and flowers were flying. Xia Xun led his bride, took three steps and stopped for half an hour before sending his little daughter-in-law to the wedding car and sitting in the groom's seat. Without raising his whip, he only shook the reins, and the four Taiping horses walked slowly. The wheels only turned three times. Riding back to the house, waiting for the bride at the door of the house, the procession of seeing off the relatives is on the road.

Congratulatory guests gathered in Fuguo Duke's Mansion, and he said bluntly that even if Emperor Yongle held a grand court meeting, people would not be so happy

The marriage is bestowed by the emperor, and the emperor is the officiant of course. No matter which faction the Manchu civil and military people belong to, even if they don’t give Yang Xu this face, they can’t help giving the emperor this face, so all the Manchu civil and military officials have come. , directly rushed to the Yang family.In addition to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, those who usually do not need to go to the court to see each other also came to the Yang family without any hesitation.

King Qi and King Zhou couldn't do without the feudal kingdom, and they both sent their princes to congratulate them. King Ning's son was still young, so he sent the chief steward of the palace to bring congratulations.The princes should be regarded as family classics. On the one hand, they and Xia Xun are also regarded as the relationship between emperor and minister, so they all came here without breaking their eyes.The same is true for Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng. He is not only a matchmaker for the woman, but also a colleague in the court, so he also came to congratulate him.

Everyone gave a very heavy gift, and the one who gave the heaviest gift was Cao Guogong Li Jinglong.According to Xia Xun's instructions, Li Jinglong once again raised the topic of Li Chu, and tightened his hungry belt, and bravely rushed to the front line. He really saved the day and survived the crisis safely. Bigger than before.

Right now, the emperor has not yet made a final decision on the establishment of the reserve, but the emperor has begun to arrange some specific affairs for the eldest prince Zhu Gaoxu. This is a clear signal. If there are no other accidents, the establishment of the reserve will be done soon It turned out that at that time, he would become the number one minister who supported Chuli. This kindness must of course be counted on Xia Xun's head.

Therefore, Li Jinglong not only gave countless gold, jewels and jade treasures, but also gave his own abode in Qixia Mountain and the top-quality paddy fields of nearly a thousand mu under the mountain as congratulatory gifts.

As for Xie Jin, Yang Huirong, Zheng Ci and a group of great scholars and ministers, the things they gave were much more elegant, mostly poems and songs. These things don't seem to be worth much now, but they will be stored for hundreds of years. ..." Xia Xun is very concerned about these collectibles with great potential for value preservation and appreciation.

Honggu Hongluan belt, floating Gai Meijiao back to mother.

There is no need to go into details about the grand ceremony of marriage worship. After Miss Ming'er paid her respects, she was sent to the bridal chamber, and then Yang Xu hosted a banquet to entertain the congratulatory guests. Fortunately, he set the wedding time in the daytime, and the wedding lasted until the month of May. Hanging high in the sky, the Fuguo Gongfu's colorful lanterns were hung high, shining brightly. A total of eight big men, including Chen Xuan, Chi Zhong, Li Yifeng, Xu Hu, and Ji Gang, who were in charge of serving wine for Xia Xun, got drunk. Forget it.

Although Xia Xun was not drunk, he had to pretend to be drunk, and was helped back to the back house. There were also close colleagues who wanted to catch up and make trouble in the bridal chamber. Liu Yujue, who had been ordered by Xia Xun, immediately led a group of big men in Jinyi guards pretending to be writers to appear He blocked the entrance to the backyard tightly, blocked them with a smile, and said: "A moment is worth a thousand gold, flowers have fragrance and the moon has shade. The singing and the sound of the building are soft... The swing courtyard is heavy at night!"

"My lords, it's good to be drunk. If you want to have a bridal chamber again, be careful that Duke Fu will not forgive you tomorrow, ah haha, stay, stay, please go back to the vestibule and have a few more drinks. Tonight, Mr. Cao Guogong Li Lord Hezhong Boru entertained all the lords on behalf of Fu Guogong, if you don’t get drunk, you won’t return, hahaha..."

Stepping into the bridal chamber, it seemed that the hustle and bustle of the vestibule was also cut off at once. I saw a man in red sitting quietly in front of the marriage bed, although except for the pair of green jade bracelets resting quietly on his knees, With slender hands, not an inch of skin could be seen from top to bottom, Xia Xun's heart suddenly felt at ease.It is said to be quiet, but it is actually not quiet. It dances very fast, but it is indescribably fulfilling.

"The bridegroom is here, take care of her quickly, and sit down with the bride."

The benevolent Xi Niang greeted her. This was an old woman who had been specially found with a complete set of children and many children. She greeted her with a smile and dragged Xia Xun to sit side by side with Ming'er. Xia Xun Feeling that Ming'er's delicate body seems to shrink, a little nervous, and her two catkins are also tightened.

The old woman turned back and took a tray from the table, which contained dates, chestnuts, longan, and peanuts, sprinkled it on the bed tent and the two of them, and said with a smile: "Sprinkle a date, get a child, Scatter a chestnut, get a Nier, a handful of chestnuts, a handful of dates, the smaller ones will follow the bigger ones."

Xia Xun sat in a daze for a while, before he realized that he had been told in advance that he should pick up his clothes. The more he picked up, the more children he would have in the future.Just as he was about to reach out, he suddenly noticed that Ming'er was sitting there with his head covered. Although his body hadn't moved, his two little ones had already quietly held up the corners of his clothes. Maybe he was shy, and he was afraid that Xia Xun would see her, so his movements were not too obvious. , only raised two slender fingers to catch the spilled chestnuts and jujubes, and couldn't help smiling knowingly.

"The bridegroom please ask the Brocade Renewal Team to beat it by hand.

'Take off the tassel'.

A steelyard was handed over, and the red hijab was gently raised, revealing an amazing face with smooth skin, tender face and new eyebrows.The heart-shaped hair chain hangs from the side of the topknot to the forehead, and a drop-shaped gemstone hangs on it. A pair of bright autumn eyes glance at him shyly and timidly. .

Before he was allowed to look more, Xi Niang said again: "Bride and groom, please put the bun together".

A pair of scissors was handed over to Xia Xun's hand, and she cut it with a "crack", a lock of hair, and then Ming'er took it, and another lock of hair fell into her hand, Xi Niang took the two strands of hair with a smile, and put them together They tied them together and put them into the silk pouch around Ming'er's waist, and blessed the two of them: "I wish the new couple stay together forever, have a happy marriage for a hundred years, grow old together, have many children and grandchildren. The old one is resigning, please rest!"

Xi Niang backed out with brisk steps, and as soon as the door was closed, only Xia Xun and Ming'er were left in the new room... , No. 2 asks for a guaranteed monthly pass! ! !
