The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 202 Cui Ba becomes an official ([-])

The evening ceremony in Tang Dynasty was different from that in later generations. The evening ceremony was held at the woman's home on that day.

The bride is also happier than the brides of later generations, because at this time the evening ceremony is held at dusk, and the bride does not need to get up early to be busy.

Sleeping in beautifully, there is no need to rush to change new clothes or put on heavy makeup after waking up. Nanping used the morning food as usual, and led his confidant maid to organize the purse and other things he used when he greeted Anne the next day, In the palace, the maid sent by Concubine Yang was busy in and out to help Nanping prepare for grooming and makeup.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and after eating in a hurry, Nanping, in order to have a good complexion, took a good nap on the large kang at the pot gate. The invited bride began to formally dress Nanping.

Nanping is the princess of the second rank. According to the regulations, the dress should wear a dark blue tuidi dress, a white plain gauze one-piece underwear, knees covered in front of the abdomen, ears covered with temples, and nine flower gold sticks inserted in the head. Tin.

At this time, it is really not popular for brides to wear red dresses. If you want to see Fengguanxiapei, it will probably take another two or three hundred years.

After she was dressed, Nanping wore a righteous bun and red hairpins, and someone had already invited her to the ancestral hall to worship her ancestors.

Accompanying her was Mrs. Cui Yang, the woman's matchmaker. She entered Wei's ancestral hall together with Nanping. Mrs. Cui recited the sacrificial oration, and Nanping knelt down to worship.

The sacrificial text says: "Wei's eldest daughter has grown up and has not been matched. Today's auspicious day is used by the matchmaker Cui Yang, which is suitable for Cui's man... I would like to offer a memorial ceremony to the spirit of the former concubine."

Nanping's biological mother has passed away, but her biological father is still alive. After paying homage to her deceased mother and the spirits of her ancestors, she got up and went to the main hall to bid farewell to her grandparents and father.

Nanping was raised in the palace by Concubine Yang since he was a child, and he didn't have deep feelings for his grandma and Aye, but according to the rules, he still covered his face with a veil and cried twice.

Outside the gate of Wei's house, Cui Sibo and his party also came to the door in a mighty way. It was already dark at this moment, and the gate of Wei's mansion was closed tightly. There was no one in the courtyard. Through the high courtyard wall, people outside could hear the talking and laughing inside. The sound of the play, as well as the looming sound of Baixi and drum music.

Compared with the dark blue dress of the bride, the groom, Cui Sibo's children's shoes, wore a festive red dress - a red gauze singlet, a white inner skirt, and black boots under his feet - the red wedding dress set off Cui Sibo's face like a jade , quite a bit of Yulang's handsome appearance.

Cui Sibo looked at the closed gate, dismounted from his horse, thumped up the steps, knocked on the door, and shouted loudly: "Thieves come to attack, guests come to see. Report to sister-in-law, come out to see each other."

Inside the door, Wei Hong led his younger brothers and sisters, surrounded by a group of noble girls in Beijing, and asked with a smile: "Where is the distinguished guest who does not interrogate, and who invades the night to stop at the door? Who is the gentleman, where is the talent?" ? The spirit is upright, why did you come?"

Cui Sibo smiled and replied: "This is a gentleman in Chang'an... as follows, how is his body?" How are the future uncles, ladies, and lords?

Everyone inside the door: "Water from the well in front of the foot, gold and trees are orchids... and you will be safe. The gentleman came here to ask, how is Wei Zhi's body?"...We are all well, and you are also well.

Cui Sibo: "If you go down without talent, you will get to the highest school... Please hurry up if you have something to do, don't talk about it." I want to get married, everyone, don't work in vain.

Everyone in the door: "Since you are a gentleman of a high family, you are more valuable than the elite, and you don't want to judge your intentions, what can you ask for?"...Since you are a noble son of a famous family, what do you do when you come to our house?

Cui Sibo: "I've heard you speak loudly, so I've come here to agree with you. A fair lady, a gentleman is very good."...I came to find my wife.

Everyone inside the door laughed and continued to be embarrassed...

Cui Sibo wiped off his sweat and continued to answer...

After a verbal confrontation, Cui Sibo's close friends helped to compose poems, and Quan served as a stepping stone.

"The cypress is a Nanshan cypress, which will be used as a door forehead in the future.

The forehead is always there, and the woman is a temporary visitor. "

The gate was finally opened, but the embarrassment was not over yet. After entering the gate, there was a middle gate, and a poem was written: "Tuanjin is used as the door leaf, and polished jade is used as the knocker. Pull the golden hook lock, and pull out the red sandalwood gate."

After passing the middle gate, there is still a pile of gates, and the piles of gates are locked. Continue to read the poem: "There is no rubble there, why is there such a pile... please let the key open for now, and let Erlang pass by."

After passing Duiguan, I met Zhongtang again, and wrote a poem again: "The gate of the hall is square, and there is a four-bed in it... Tell your sister-in-law a good word, and the door is Xu Tanlang."

……

After much tossing and turning, he finally came to Nanping's boudoir.

Of course, Cui Sibo still can't see his bride at this moment, because he still needs to recite makeup poems through the window.

Cui Sibo and everyone on the man's side urged them together, and finally urged the bride to the main hall.

When he arrived at the main hall, Cui Sibo still couldn't see the bride, where is the bride?The answer is, in the tent surrounded by screens.

Well, don’t worry, let’s start offering sacrifices to the geese. Cui Sibo, after all these tossings, had no strength left to sigh, and directly threw the wild goose that brought him to propose marriage to the curtain where the bride was.

As for the people in Nanping, they have to catch the wild goose quickly, wrap it in a red bag, and tie the goose's beak tightly with silk thread... OK, let's work together!
Then read the poem about withdrawing the account.

The screen was removed, and the geese sacrifice continued... After another toss, Cui Sibo finally saw his family Nanping, and then the two bid farewell to Nanping's parents (stepmother).

The relationship between Nanping and his father and stepmother was not close, and Wei's father and Wei's mother didn't have much affection for her, so they scolded the young couple according to the rules.

Father Wei: "Encourage him to respect him, and never violate him."

After the training, the freshly baked young couple came to the wedding tent specially set up by Wei's family. The couple sat down on their knees and chanted a poem "Song of the Same Prison".

Drink the cup again.

The cup is divided into two halves with a small ladle, each of the husband and wife holds one, and the maid uses a five-color silk thread to tie the adjacent feet of the two, and then they drink together.

After drinking, Cui Sibo stood up and let the maid take off her gown, crown hat, ornaments and sword.In Nanping, there were also people who helped to remove the gold tines, the bun, and the dress.

Afterwards, Cui Sibo sat on the east side, Nanping sat on the west, and then read the poem about going to the fan.

Cui Sibo's literary talents were really good. After reading a poem, Nan Ping finally put down the lacquered flower fan that was covering his face, revealing a face painted on a white wall.

The bride combed and combined their hair for the two of them again—a married couple.

So far, Li Cheng.

All the maids retreated one after another, leaving only the young couple sitting opposite each other in the tent.

"Miss, are you tired?"

Cui Sibo helped Nan Ping to separate the tied hair.

"Not tired."

By the flickering candlelight, Nanping saw that Cui Sibo's face was like a jade crown, his nose was like a gall, and his mouth was like a red cherry, he was even more handsome than before, and he was extremely proud.

She didn't lie either. After the ceremony, apart from saluting to her parents, she neither knelt nor prostrated, so she wasn't very tired.

On the contrary, Cui Sibo, marrying a daughter-in-law is like going through five hurdles and killing six generals. He has to use his brain and mouth.

Seeing this, Nan Ping took out his handkerchief to help him wipe the sweat off his forehead, and said softly, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard." She knew how cramped the family was, and she didn't know how to torment her. Dalang is gone.

Cui Sibo held Nan Ping's hand backhand, and said softly: "It is worthwhile to suffer so much to marry such a beautiful woman. Besides, today is not suffering, but, it is my life. The one thing I am most willing to do and want to do..."

"Lang Jun-"

"Miss-"

Blow the lamps, pull the curtains, harmony and harmony!

At the same time, the Cui family in Qinrenfang also gradually quieted down after a busy day, and the lights of the whole mansion gradually went out.

As the main battlefield, Hepuyuan is still brightly lit.

Yao is so excited, she finally married the daughter-in-law of the princess, tomorrow, yes, tomorrow, after the young couple returns home, they will offer her tea and salute—hehe, the majestic princess saluted her, this is the past Things you can't even think about.

Cui Qing was also very excited. More than 20 years ago, he was kicked out of Cui's house like a bereaved dog by the old lady. Now, not only has he returned in a big way, but his son has even married such a noble lady, tsk tsk, thinking of the daytime At that time, seeing the gloomy face of the old godly woman, he wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times.

I was also shouting wildly in my heart, "Aniang, Aniang, have you seen it, haha... Don't worry, Dalang's errand will be settled after his daughter-in-law passes through the door. Da Lang is smart and capable, he will definitely be able to ascend to a high position, as long as he reaches the third rank, he will be able to command a three-axis order, please seal it for you."

Unknowingly, Cui Qing actually spoke out what was in his heart.

Hearing this, Mrs. Yao rushed to him, and happily asked: "Ah Lang, what is Da Lang's errand? Is he taller than Cui Qilang's Qian Niu Bei?"

Xiao Lu showed off in front of her every day, saying that his son was a sixth-rank official, a close guard of the emperor, and that he could accept a woman from a good family as a noble concubine, which was by no means comparable to that of ordinary officials.

Every time Yao Shi heard Xiao Lu's words, he felt as uncomfortable as a cat's paw. When he thought that Cui Yabo was not as capable as her Dalang, he even hated the unfairness of the Cui family - they were all from the Cui family, why did Cui Qineng belong to the family? Infiltrated into Qianniuwei, but her Dalang still has to fight on his own? !
"Well, it's settled, the Military Weapon Supervisor. The Saint wants to use troops against Liaobei, and the Military Weapon Supervisor is an excellent place to go."

Cui Qing avoided the important ones and ignored the minor ones, and didn't directly tell his wife what his son's official position was, since she wouldn't understand anyway.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yao didn't know what kind of errand Jiancheng was, but he heard that Mr. Lang said it was 'excellent', so it shouldn't be too bad, so he nodded in satisfaction.

Cui Xuan who was at the side snorted lightly, and interjected coolly: "Jiancheng? It's just a low-level official of the seventh rank. The old man is really stingy."

Upon hearing this, Yao shi looked suspiciously at Cui Qing, then at Cui Xuan, and asked confusedly: "Ah Xuan, is the official of Jiancheng small?" Smaller than Cui Qi's?

Cui Xuan deliberately did not look at Aye's serious face, and said to Yao Shi with a small mouth, "Of course, I heard people say that Cui Ba next door is also looking for an official position, and the Princess Xiangcheng will give you a job as soon as he makes a move." Cui Ba got a sixth-rank official, which is three levels higher than the elder brother’s Jiancheng. And it’s not an unpopular place like the Military Weapons Supervision, but the ‘judge’ of Dali Temple...”
