Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 142 Welcome (2)

Everyone in the Ministry of Rites laughed and chattered without taking it seriously: "It's easy. The ready-made champion and the second place are simply ready-made bridesmaids. There is no one more suitable than Jiang Hanlin and Xu Hanlin. Hurry up and get someone to invite them." .”

Jiang Shangshu's face wrinkled into a ball with a smile, yes, this pair of talented and unmarried No. [-] Scholar and No. [-] are really suitable to be the best bridesmaids for the prince's personal welcome, but how can you say this?How does this work?What is the reason for this?

No matter what!Since you can't say it, you can't push it away. Jiang Shangshu forced himself to smile and said: "We have to see if the two of them have time, who has nothing to do, first send someone over to ask, first ask, if there is something to do, If you think about anything else, I think Xiao Song will go for a while, and you can find another one..."

"What can I do?" Xiao Song, a small official from the Ministry of Rites who was named, waved his hands hastily: "How can I write poetry? Jiang Shangshu, please forgive me!" Everyone thought that Jiang Shangshu was joking with Xiao Song, and followed you. Just joking with Xiao Song, someone over there had already rushed over to invite Jiang Hong and Xu Sihai to be the best bridesmaids for the Fifth Prince.

Seeing Jiang Hong and Xu Sihai coming one after the other, Jiang Shangshu couldn't help it, he pulled them to the side, and said in a vague and awkward voice: "Don't go if you don't want to go, just say something, I'll look for it later Others, there are many people who can write poems and be bridesmaids, and the Hanlin Academy has a ready-made pile of Hanlin."

"It's also an honor for me and Jingzhi to be the best man welcomed by the fifth master. Don't worry, uncle." Jiang Hong's voice was slow and low but extremely stable. Jiang Shangshu glanced at Xu Sihai with a calm smile on his face, feeling in his heart The uneasiness faded away, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and patted Jiang Hong and Xu Sihai and said: "Good boy, when you grow up, then go, fifth master greets you personally, it's not too much to think about coming there. "

The greeting was at dusk, but early in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Ye Shierniang rushed into the Qingtong Courtyard. After a short while, Lin Ke and Yu Yaofang also arrived, and Jiang Shan arrived later. Her brother Jiang Hong and Xu Sihai were going to be best men. Yu Yaofang was fine, but Lin Ke's expression suddenly changed. Li Tian hurriedly pulled her over and smiled, "Okay, there's nothing difficult about writing poetry this time. On our side, when it comes to poetry, who has ever been the number one scholar and the second place!"

Seeing Li Tian's indifferent attitude, Lin Ke also knew that something had almost happened to her, so she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and the enthusiastic Ye Shiriniang started discussing the other tricks again. Only Li Jinghao's daughter, Yujieer, opened her eyes wide and laughed in horror. Yujieer was only one year younger than Lin Ke, and after meeting Lin Ke and Yu Yaofang for the first time, she was able to speak well.

The few people didn't talk for a long time, and the young ladies from various prefectures who usually had a little contact with Li Tian came to Qingtongyuan one after another. Although they all came to congratulate, they heard that the congratulations that the fifth prince was going to greet in person were quite different. The little ladies in the room all had excited eyes, and everyone's interest was in the Fifth Prince's kiss. Welcome, according to the rules, when the door was blocked, the fifth prince who was as charming as a fairy But being able to tease and play and fight is so exciting!As for the bride, Li Tian, ​​everyone really ignored her.Only looking at Yue Niang made her chest tight. Why are these little ladies so idiots?Don't you know that the fifth master is the husband of her fifth wife, and since yesterday, no one should come near him?
Ye Twelve Niang simply found a little girl to stand on it, with the appearance of a general gesticulating, gesticulating and discussing strategies with everyone. Since the man's best man is the number one and the second place, what kind of poems and words are right? Ah, everything was rejected, even riddle guessing was rejected. Ye Twelve Niang can remember how powerful Jiang Zhuangyuan's riddle guessing skills are. After all, there are so many people with bad ideas. We can't do poetry. It's not necessarily that we can't compare with him in terms of singing. In fact, it's not that we can't compare. It's important to hear Wu Ye sing a song himself... Yue Niang's shoulders shrugged non-stop, wait a minute She also has to look at blocking the door.

The Yongguo Mansion is in a state of turmoil. The East and West courtyards have long been merged into one, with lights and festoons everywhere, busy together. Inside is Li Jinghao, outside is the commander-in-chief of the Li clan chief Li Zhongzhi, Mrs. Yang and the family who have already separated The Second Mrs. Xu and the Third Mrs. Liu were neatly dressed, and they were sitting in the back hall in a daze. They were going to send the dowry over in a while. Since the dowry was distributed yesterday, the three of them had already looked dumb. They were so rich and honored. No matter how I thought about it, I couldn't think of it. Even now, I just feel like in a dream. How can a person have so much money?How can you be so rich?Even the royal family is nothing more than that, right?
Grandma Zhou and Grandma Wang were busy with Li Jing, Li Xiaozu and Li Xiaoning were dizzy and dizzy with Li Zhongzhi and uncle Jiang Qingyuan. The front yard was busy entertaining guests.The Duke of Yong, Li Zhongchao, who was supposed to be the busiest, seemed like an outsider. He had been immersed in wine for too long, and he had already forgotten how to socialize and talk with others. Looking around in a daze.

The auspicious time has come, and the Leban is in front of the class. The warriors carefully selected from the class in front of the hall are all wearing curvy-footed flowered headdresses, wearing scarlet, purple, and three-color gold thread knotted Wangxian robes, with swords slung across their waists. , riding a horse, holding vases, flower candles, incense balls, Shaluo washing, makeup boxes, photo stands, clothes boxes, lily knots, green parasols, chairs, etc. in their hands. A group of glamorous officials also rode horses and sang auspicious songs with the band.

After that came the fifth prince who was dressed in a prince's dress and with a serious face on horseback. Jiang Hong and Xu Sihai were dressed in red robes and followed the fifth prince from left to right. This long line of welcoming brides is not handsome She is a beautiful woman, extremely gorgeous and beautiful.

The wedding shed in front of Duke Yong’s mansion was already brightly lit, delicacies were prepared, the musicians entered the wedding shed, and a happy song just started. After coming down, the first round of bonuses came out from the gate of the mansion, and the bonuses were very worthy of yesterday's dowry. All five taels of silver bills came out together with the bonuses, and there were baskets of profit money. The profit market money is not a piece of copper coins, but a double happiness knot with a copper coin on each side, with a small whitebait or silver flower or silver pomegranate in the middle. Jinghao's handwriting, her only family member got married, all she wanted was happiness!
The fifth prince got off the horse, Li Zhongchao, Li Zhongzhi and others went up to meet him, and let him into the second gate with all smiles on their faces, but they didn't follow him in. It's the rule to welcome him in person, and this door-stopping reminder must stand the test .

The moon gate leading to the inner courtyard was full of wives, wives and grandmas from various prefectures watching the excitement, as well as servants and women who could squeeze through. The one who was blocked outside the gate was the fifth prince who was like a fairy. Such a lively event , just like yesterday's dowry, it's a lively event that hasn't been seen in hundreds of years.

The moon gate was closed tightly. Behind the gate, Ye Twelve Niang was leading the way, standing majestically with her hips akimbo, surrounded by a group of excited little ladies, and outside surrounded by a group of even more excited little girls, the fifth prince was stunned. Looking at the closed Moon Gate, Jiang Hong hurriedly took out a piece of paper full of words from his pocket and handed it to the Fifth Prince in a low voice: "You have to call the door first, this can't be replaced, you have to call it yourself." The prince took the paper, looked down, took a deep breath, took another breath, and then raised his voice and said: "Thieves come to fight, guests come to see, report to sister-in-law, come out to see each other."

There was a burst of laughter outside the door, and the answers from behind the Moon Gate were extremely lively: "Where is the distinguished guest who is not judged, and the door is stopped at night? Where is the gentleman, where is the talent? The spirit is bright, why do you come here?" "There are rules for this set of answers. Amidst the laughter of the seven aunts, eight aunts and a group of eight wives, the fifth prince bit the bullet and finished this set of words. It stands to reason that after the "discuss slowly" inside, he should I have made poems, but who knows that there is no need for poems in the Moon Gate? Ye Twelve Niang said clearly: "You are both the number one scholar and the second place in the list. We don't understand poems. We want to listen to a little song. The groom will open the door after singing a little song." .”

There was a loud laugh inside and outside the door, and the fifth prince turned around angrily, asking him to sing, Jiang Hong couldn't help a smile from the corner of his mouth, Xu Sihai frowned, it seemed that the little ladies inside had already Are you ready?The Fifth Prince turned his head and looked at the two begging for help. Jiang Hong spread his hands and said, "It was agreed before I came here that as long as it is poetry, Jingzhi and I will take care of everything."

"Besides, he won't, and neither will I." Xu Sihai added, marrying a wife should be a bit embarrassing, isn't it just a little song.

The fifth prince took another breath, looked up at the sky, forget it, which family has a precedent of welcoming and singing a little song?To sing or not to sing?How can you open your mouth?Let's discuss it first. The fifth prince raised his hand to rub his face, but he put it down halfway. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are looking at him. He must be dignified and majestic. The fifth prince put his hand down and put his back behind his back. After walking half a step forward, I felt the pain in the back of my hands again, so I hurriedly hung it to my sides again, clasped my hands in front of my body, and discussed with Moon Gate: "Let's write a poem, or just fill in a word."

"Since the fifth master has spoken, let's not sing the ditty, let's sing the first lyrics." Inside, the good-natured concession was made, and the fifth prince rolled his eyes when he heard it. What's the difference between singing a ditty and libretto?
"Is there anyone who welcomes you and sings a little song?" The fifth prince turned to look at Jiang Hong and Xu Sihai and asked, Jiang Hong frowned and thought for a while, "Blocking the door is just to get a son-in-law, why is it so lively, what's the matter?" Xu Sihai Then nodded and said: "Why don't you sing the first lyrics, it's much more elegant than Xiaoquer."

"I don't know how to sing any lyrics! How can I speak? You are the bridesmaids, help me find a way, you go to discuss with the inside, this can't be sung!" The fifth prince quickly scanned With the dense crowd around his eyes, asking him to sing in public, wouldn't it kill him!
