Song Yi

Chapter 445

The mansion that Gao Taotao gave to Du Wenhao was completed three days ago, and the wedding to marry the daughter of the Wang family was arranged in the new mansion.In the past two days, Pang Yuqin and the others have already started to move, and they are planning to officially move the whole family to the new mansion today, so as to prepare for the wedding ceremony tomorrow.After discussing it yesterday, I went to see the layout of the new mansion and new house early this morning. I didn't expect to be called into the palace by the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao early in the morning.

Du Wenhao smiled and said, "That's right! Have you guys gone to see it?"

"I see, but Sister Yuqin said, it's up to you to see how the new house looks. We think it's good or not."

"What do you say, it's fine if you think it's good."

"You are the groom's official. If you don't like it, then we can't afford it."

"Hehe, let's go!"

A group of people took a carriage to the new mansion behind the palace.There are already lights and festoons here, and there is a lot of joy.

A few days ago, Du Wenhao had taken the time to come in and have a look at the new mansion. He felt very good, and its magnificence was beyond his own imagination.Now it has been completely decorated, but the mansion is too big, and the outer mansion still looks lively with the guards stationed there, but when entering the inner mansion, because there are too few servants, the whole mansion looks empty.

After seeing the layout of the new house, Du Wenhao was of course embarrassed to say anything, even if there was something he was not satisfied with, the wives and concubines had already agreed to let him marry another house, so they were already content, so how dare they pick and choose.

Next, the official relocation began. Since there are all kinds of furniture here, you only need to bring your own soft goods, and you need to keep them for the medicinal material factory.

That night, the whole family had a reunion dinner in the new residence. This night, Du Wenhao was allowed to rest alone to prepare for tomorrow's bridal chamber festivities, but the girls didn't know that Du Wenhao was exhausted in the morning.If I knew, I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't get my nose crooked.

Early the next morning, the wedding party was ready. Du Wenhao was dressed in red and green, and rode a tall horse with a trumpeter leading the way, followed by a red sedan chair.The sound of firecrackers never stopped.

Du Wenhao's mansion was next to Prime Minister Wang Gui's mansion, but for the sake of celebration and excitement, the welcoming team walked around the imperial city before entering the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Du Wenhao's confidant and deputy commander Li Pu sent troops along the way to guard them tightly. Soldiers were interrogated at every intersection and they were not allowed to carry any equipment. Both sides of the road were guarded by soldiers layer by layer. Look outside the cordon.

This wedding was considered one of the best in the capital, so naturally everyone came to watch the excitement, many patients and their family members were grateful for Du Wenhao's treatment, and they couldn't enter the mansion, so they came to the side of the road to congratulate.

Du Wenhao cupped his hands in thanks.After walking around the imperial city for a week, he finally entered the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.After carrying the bride with a red turban out the door, she was sent to the sedan chair.Chui chui da da, firecrackers blared, and the mighty circled the city for another circle, and then circled back to the mansion next door amidst the cheers of the people in the city.

In the large courtyard of Du Mansion's mansion, hundreds of tables of banquets have already been filled, full of guests and friends, beaming with joy.There is even a long row of water mats on the street outside the gate to entertain ordinary guests.

When the auspicious time comes, under the guidance of the singing officer, a ceremony of worshiping heaven and earth will be held.It's just that Du Wenhao's parents didn't follow him through time travel, so they could only bow down to the empty upper seat.

After worshiping heaven and earth, Eunuch Jiao, who came to congratulate on behalf of the empress dowager, read out the decree of the canonization, made Du Wenhao the Duke of Zhen, and Wang Runxue the second-rank wife (same as Pang Yuqin). He also presented some rare treasures to Xin. Mrs. Wang Runxue.And posthumously named Du Wenhao's father Li Guogong, and posthumously named Du Wenhao's mother Yipin Gaoming's wife.The child in Yin Pang Yuqin's womb is the sixth-rank Lieutenant Zhaowu.Before this little guy was born, he already had an official position waiting for him.

Du Wenhao's conferred title of "Duke of the State" ranks first besides the Prince.Generally, it is awarded to important court officials who are related to the royal family. Du Wenhao has no such relationship. Only the two of them know about his lover relationship with Gao Taotao. Nothing too weird.

Du Wenhao was grateful in his heart, the honor that Gao Taotao gave himself could not be added, and he also understood the meaning of his conferring this title on himself.

On behalf of the emperor, Eunuch Ning sent a congratulatory couplet inscribed by the emperor himself, which was hung in the middle of the hall.In addition, there are also a number of treasure gifts, a full dozen loads were picked, and they were all placed in front of the hall.

The empress dowager and the emperor personally congratulated and added officials to the Du family. This honor is enough to make everyone present envy.

After it was over, the family members saw the ceremony and decided on the names.Wang Runxue and Pang Yuqin met each other with respect, and because they were the same descendants, regardless of their size, they were only referred to by their surnames.

Afterwards, Wang Runxue, wearing a red turban, accepted the three concubines Lian'er, Xue Fei'er, and Lin Qingdai to kneel down and pay respects.Rewarded red envelopes respectively.

After the family saw the ceremony and assigned their names and ranks, Du Wenhao led Wang Runxue into the bridal chamber while the ceremony official sang the ceremony.

Afterwards, Du Wenhao came out to toast his father-in-law Wang Gui and the guests.

The wedding celebration, of course, is full of wine, but fortunately, Pang Yuqin asked Yingzi to follow him all the time, and didn't let everyone persuade him to drink too much.It's not good for everyone to get him drunk, so as not to be able to enter the bridal chamber and wrong the bride.

There were many distinguished Confucians who came to celebrate. When Du Wenhao was toasting, he used the wine to say that the plaque in his mansion was still empty, and asked these well-educated Confucian scholars to choose one to inscribe a plaque for him.It immediately aroused the interest of the Confucians.It is a great honor to be able to inscribe a plaque on the mansion of the prime minister of the current dynasty.

Originally, before Du Wenhao made his fortune, Kaifeng Governor Cai Jing volunteered to inscribe a plaque on Du Wenhao's mansion. Cai Jing's calligraphy was the best in the world at that time, and even the arrogant Mi Fu felt inferior.He is the most suitable choice.However, Cai Jing later became a famous treacherous official in the Northern Song Dynasty. Du Wenhao had been thinking about how to get rid of him, so naturally he would not let him inscribe a plaque on his family.

Cai Jing was also invited to attend the wedding. At the banquet, Du Wenhao didn't mention this matter, but only asked everyone to recommend a famous scholar to inscribe a plaque. He is a sensible person, so naturally he couldn't recommend himself.He also thought that Du Wenhao thought that his aptitude was too light. Although his calligraphy was good, he was not good enough to take on this important task.So even though several Confucian scholars recommended him to inscribe the plaque.However, he dared not dare to humble himself, and strongly recommended Cai Xiang, a scholar of Duanming Temple from his hometown, to inscribe the plaque.

Cai Xiang is an old scholar in his 70s, one of the four great calligraphers of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the longest seniority among the literati present here. His calligraphy is the most orthodox among the famous calligraphers of the Northern Song Dynasty. .Naturally they all agreed.

Cai Xiang, however, did his part, and gladly ordered the pen to inscribe the five characters "Du Fu of Zhen Guogong" with the help of wine.These words are powerful, dignified, majestic and beautiful.Confucianism in the audience were full of praise, shaking their heads like drinking nectar, applauding again and again.

At night, the red lanterns are hung high, and the mansion is full of joy.Du Wenhao was seven or eight points drunk, Pang Yuqin saw it, and hurriedly asked Yingzi to tell the ceremonial official that it was almost time, and the ceremonial official sang loudly to lead the bridegroom into the bridal chamber.

With the support of the maids and women, Du Wenhao came to the door of the bridal chamber happily and drunk.

The two pretty maids at the door blessed and said: "Slaves Ruoyun and Ruoyu pay homage to the master!"

Du Wenhao glanced at them: "Hey, why haven't I seen you, who are you?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, Fuli said: "Master, we are maidservants married by Madam."

"Oh..., raise your head and let me have a look." Du Wenhao said while enjoying the wine.

The second daughter raised her head slowly, Du Wenhao glanced at it, and yelled, "Why do you two look so alike... are you twins?"

The two of them pursed their lips and smiled, and said in unison: "Yes!"

"Haha, you two just came out of the same mold, wearing the same clothes, how can I tell who is who?"

The one on the left raised a light-white finger and pointed at his left cheek: "I'm my sister named Ruoyun. Hey, sir, look, I have a small dimple on my left." Then pointed to the woman on the right: "She's my sister named Ruoyu , she also has a dimple, but it's just the opposite, on the right."

"Ruoyun, Ruoyu, my elder sister is Yun, my younger sister is Yu, hehe, it sounds good! Let me see where are the dimples?"

Du Wenhao turned his face to look, there was a big red lantern under the corridor, it was brightly illuminated, and he could see clearly, both of them had oval faces, as smooth and white as eggs that had been peeled off their shells.But there are no dimples.

Du Wenhao asked doubtfully, "No?"

The two looked at each other again, and laughed together. Du Wenhao saw it immediately. Sure enough, there were two shallow dimples on the left and right cheeks of the two of them.However, as soon as the smile was suppressed, the dimple disappeared immediately.

Du Wenhao clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Okay! It's really interesting. It seems that if you want to recognize you, you have to make you laugh. Hahaha"

The second daughter also giggled, Ruoyun raised the curtain and said, "Master, go in quickly, Madam has been sitting for a long time."

Du Wenhao hurriedly bent over and entered the room.The red candles were shining brightly in the room, and Wang Runxue sat upright on the edge of the bed.There is a big red hijab on his head, and a phoenix crown and Xiapei.

There was a pretty maid standing beside the bed. It was the night when Du Wenhao went to Wenfeng's place for medical treatment and was bewitched by Wang Runxue's shocking appearance and mysterious seductive body fragrance. It took a long time to come back, the pretty maid who gave him a chance to marry Wang Runxue.

Du Wenhao looked at her and smiled: "It's you, you also married your girl to my house?"

The pretty servant girl smiled and gave a blessing: "Yes, servant girl Yuzhen, I pay my respects to the master."

Du Wenhao nodded, walked to the side of the bed, and said in a low voice: "My lady, you have been waiting for a long time..."

Wang Runxue hummed.

The pretty girl Yuzhen on the side said angrily: "Master, Madam has been wearing a red hijab for a long time, so hurry up and take off the hijab, I'm so bored."

"That's right!" Du Wenhao agreed repeatedly, and wiped his hands on his clothes. It was not the first time he lifted the red hijab, but this time his heart beat faster. Thinking of Wang Runxue's peerless face, Du Wenhao felt hot all over his body.

With trembling hands, he gently lifted the hijab, and slowly, just like opening the curtain that day, he gradually revealed Wang Runxue's delicate face like peach petals, and smelled the heart-swaying fragrance again in his nose, and couldn't help but sigh again. Feel the blood rush.

Wang Runxue raised her head slowly, Danfeng looked at Du Wenhao with watery eyes, then lowered her head shyly.

Du Wenhao sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her.

Wang Runxue also looked at him affectionately, and slowly fell into his arms.

The red candles are shining brightly, and the falling flowers are colorful.

……

As a newlywed, Du Wenhao took three days off, but he still didn't dare to waste too much time.Because there are too many things for him to deal with.

Wang Runxue said to Du Wenhao: "Hurry up and wash up, Yuzhen has prepared hot water."

"Okay!" Du Wenhao said happily, "Mandarin duck bath! Haha, my favorite! Both of us, Yuzhen, are here too."

"I'm not crazy with you! Yuzhen is a girl with yellow flowers, don't scare her too much, and let her serve you when I am inconvenient!"
