back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 561
The gongs and drums sounded again, and the firecrackers were lit again, crackling, so lively.Yang Wenguang and Murong Zhaorong watched at the gate of the Yang Mansion hand in hand, their eyes got wet.Only now did Yang Naohong come back to his senses: "I'm going to get married?!"

Lifting the curtains of the sedan chair a little bit, seeing his parents weeping with joy, Yang Naohong's eyes also got wet.Fortunately, there is a head covering and a sedan chair to block it, otherwise people would say that she doesn't want to get married!

Yang Huaiyu murmured: "Sixth sister is married, who will fight with me in the future?"

Unexpectedly, Yang Wenguang heard this sentence, reached out and patted his head, and scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, how old are you, and you still want to fight? By the way, my father helped you apply for a degree in the Royal Military Academy. You will report to the Royal Military Academy in five days, did you hear me?"

Yang Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed aggrievedly: "How long are you going to stay in that ghostly place?"

"Hey, Your Majesty said that if you are not successful, you should stay in the Royal Military Academy to avoid embarrassing yourself..."

Yang Huaiyu murmured to herself in a low voice: "You came up with this yourself..."

"Stinky boy, what are you mumbling about?" Although Yang Wenguang is old, his hearing is still good, and he was about to teach this tired boy, but he heard a bang, and then a servant who delivered the decree shouted: "The decree has arrived! Privy Councilor Yang Wenguang accepts the order!"

Yang Wenguang didn't care about "educating" Yang Huaiyu, and led his whole family to kneel down in front of Yang's residence, respectfully receiving the imperial edict.

"Zhi said: Yang's family is married, and I bring the queen to congratulate Yang Wenguang, a direct scholar of the Privy Council. The lady is here, and the swallows are flying, and the son-in-law will be auspicious. , cross the phoenix and ride the dragon, the phoenix will return to Chang, ride the dragon and hurry up with the son-in-law, auspiciously conquer the law of the phoenix, and unite with one heart. The second day of May in the fourth year of Hongxiang."

"Thank you for your kindness!"

The maid handed the imperial decree to Yang Wenguang with a smile, and congratulated him: "Bachelor Yang is marrying a daughter, congratulations!"

Yang Wenguang also understood the ways of the world, and he knew that the waiter actually wanted to ask for auspicious money.After these eunuchs lost their physical desires, they could only seek spiritual stimulation from power and money.The little emperor was too strict, and the easiest income for the servants was gone.This errand, he got it from Gao Hao because he talked about it.Isn't it just for the auspicious money? This is a kind of human favor. Even if the little emperor wants to control it, he can't control it, right?
Yang Wenguang thought to himself: "On the day of great joy, one thing more is worse than one thing less. Give it to me, and I will pass the decree anyway!" Thinking of this, he took out a lucky coin wrapped in red paper from his sleeve, and handed it to the waiter with a smile. hand, said: "Elder-in-law has worked hard all the way, here is some auspicious money, use it to buy a glass of water and wine to eat. If you are free, you can go to the palace tonight and have a banquet together..."

The servant smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and said: "Xueshi Yang's kindness, our family appreciates it. Our family has to go to His Majesty to return the order, so I won't eat it..."

"Father-in-law, walk slowly!"

The decree team turned around and headed back towards the palace, Murong Zhaorong was a little annoyed: "Old man, why would he want to take away the auspicious money your son-in-law gave you? He..."

"Okay, okay, today is our daughter's big day, just a little money. You go and tidy up, so that you can go to the palace for a banquet..."

On this side, Wang Shao's eight-carrying sedan chairs of the welcoming team were able to return to the front of the mansion.At this point, the bride does not need someone to carry her.As soon as the sedan chair got off, amidst the sound of "cracking" firecrackers, the servants of the palace sprinkled "five grains" on the ground, that is, "rice, millet, millet, wheat, and bean".The bridegroom officer took the bride's hand, stepped on the grain, and after entering the inner hall, he waited for the auspicious time and prepared to worship the hall.Just at this time, a bang sounded, and someone shouted: "The imperial decree has arrived! The commander of the forbidden army, Wang Shao, received the decree!"

Wang Shao didn't dare to be negligent, and together with the bride and the others, they all knelt down to accept the order.

Not long after, a small servant came in through the door, spread out the imperial decree with a smile and said: "Zhi said: I heard that Wang Shao, the commander of the imperial army, is very happy on his wedding. I brought the queen to congratulate you. The first covenant, the predestined relationship for three lives, the joy of making mandarin ducks, the beginning of a family, the vows of the same heart, the mandarin ducks, the lifelong alliance, the engagement is auspicious, the alliance is good, the marriage is matched, and the promise is for life. Looking forward to the future, the couple, Respect each other as guests, and grow old together. Special rewards are fifty pieces of brocade, one phoenix hairpin, one wishful handle, and one hundred sons. The second day of the fifth lunar month in the fourth year of Hongxiang."

The people who came to see the excitement, after hearing the rewards, thought to themselves: "This Wang Shao's family is in full swing, with so many rewards, it seems that the emperor prefers this general..."

"The last general thanked God for his grace!"

Wang Shao had never experienced such a big battle, and even the emperor was alarmed when they got married.Yang Naohong covered her head and couldn't see anything, so she stood up under Wang Shao's guidance.She also said that this is all normal, but she doesn't know that this kind of favor can't be obtained by others who have practiced good deeds for several lifetimes!
The little servant handed the imperial decree to Wang Shao, and said a few good words with a smile, Wang Shao had to give auspicious money as well.After the little servant turned around, the servant looked at the time and said hastily, "The auspicious time has come!"

When Wang Shao heard this, he couldn't help feeling nervous.Holding the "leading towel" (also called the same heart knot), Yang Naohong is like a puppet, and he is led by him to worship the heaven and earth, ancestors and Gaotang.Wang Shao's parents were here, happily saying: "Okay, okay, okay..."

At this moment, the main event is coming: "Send the couple into the bridal chamber!"

"My lady, please!"

"Lang Jun, please!"

This is also a kind of etiquette, which is called "respect each other as guests".After entering the bridal chamber, the husband and wife pay respects.This is an authentic Han Chinese wedding. In later generations, one worships heaven and earth, two worships high halls, and the husband and wife worship each other is just a simplification.After paying homage, Yang Naohong wore a red hijab, sat on the bed, and performed the ceremony of "casting the tent" and "putting the bun together".A bun means that the newlyweds each cut a strand of hair and form a concentric knot as a token of the wedding.Then Yang Naohong had to wait here, and Wang Shao had to go out to greet the guests.After all, there is still the matter of the banquet. As a bride, Yang Naohong should not show her face in public, so only Wang Shao can do it.

It was not until late at night that Wang Shao was helped back to the new house.No way, I drank too much.And Lu Chengqi was also unable to come due to injury, so he knew about the previous congratulatory gifts.

After the bridegroom enters the bridal chamber, there are rituals of removing flowers and fans until the candles are extinguished.During the period when the candles are extinguished, the guests, old and young, can play tricks and make things difficult for the newcomers. This is the predecessor of the "bridal chamber" in later generations.

After the crowd dispersed, Wang Shao could use a scale to lift Yang Naohong's hijab. After this ceremony was completed, Wang Shao and Yang Naohong were considered "legal couples".If they are not legal, Dashun doesn't know how many people can be legal. It should be noted that this is the first time the new emperor bestows a marriage!

From now on, the spring night is warm in the Furong tent, and I don't tell outsiders all night.
