Change the Tang Dynasty Li Yuanba

Chapter 41 Richard's Big Marriage
Datang, Zhenguan ten years, May eighteenth.

The sun is shining and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.Well, today is a good day.

Today is the day of Li Cha's big wedding. If this day is not good, Li Yuanba in Li Cha's mind may raise his hammer and scold the sky again.

In the boudoir of Duke Fan's mansion, Duan Hongxiu, who got up early, sat there in a daze, with a smile showing from the corner of his mouth from time to time.

Rather than getting up early, it is better to say that I stayed up all night.In this era, getting married is a top priority for a girl.In Duan Hongxiu's mind, there is now a warm picture of the future husband and child.

Duan Hongxiu will never forget the shock to his heart when his father told him about Li Cha's identity after the first pilgrimage.Why did I find a pleasing and talented teacher, and after a big pilgrimage, he became the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor's younger brother?

Duan Hongxiu, who had just received the news, was completely stunned and burst into tears with a "wow".She thought that her marriage was about to fail. As the daughter of the commander of the Xuanjia Army, the emperor would never allow her to marry a prince.My dream for more than a month was shattered at this moment.

Duan Zhixuan is a big bastard, how can he know why his daughter cries, it's obviously a good thing, why are you crying?Confused for a while, only Duan Hongxiu's mother comforted her softly, and said to find her a better one.

Having figured out what was going on, Duan Zhixuan hurriedly comforted his daughter, saying that marrying any other prince would not do, except this one. The emperor never worried that he would collude with the generals of the Xuanjia Army to rebel.Moreover, this is the matchmaker personally secured by the empress, so Duan Hongxiu can put her heart in her stomach and wait for the marriage on May [-]th.

Originally, Duan Hongxiu was worried about how to get along with this prince. After all, there is a world of difference between a prince of the Tang Dynasty and an ordinary teacher. However, after a few days of dating, Duan Hongxiu found that Li Cha was still the Li Cha she knew. , her attitude towards herself has not changed because of the change of status, so her heart is really put in her stomach.

Thinking about it, Duan Hongxiu couldn't help but smile.Today I am finally getting married.

"Miss, miss, it's time to wash up. Your boudoir friends are all here, waiting for miss." The close maid interrupted Duan Hongxiu who was lost in memory.

Duan Hongxiu smiled slightly, took off her close-fitting clothes, and walked into the bathtub prepared by the close-fitting maid to cleanse herself, preparing for the most important day in her life.

At this time, Li Cha's house was even more lively. The 71 direct students are all here, Prince Li Chengqian is here, and so is Li Zhi.Li Xiaogong's eldest son Li Chongyi came, and Li Daozong's eldest son Li Jingheng also came.

Anyway, as long as Li Yuanba's nephews in Chang'an City were adults, they would come regardless of whether he knew them or not.Even Empress Changsun came with her little son, standing beside her and looking at Li Cha with a smile on her face.

Emperor Li Shimin was also coming, but was stopped by Empress Changsun, who said that as long as he was here, everyone would not let go of anything. Today is the day when the third brother is happy, so let him stop making trouble and go to Meng Huhu's house to wait for a drink That's it.

She herself also went to ask Li Cha to leave after a few words, she was afraid that she, the third brother, would not be able to accept the cumbersome etiquette of getting married and get confused.

Li Cha is no longer the Li Yuanba he used to be. Naturally, he wouldn't be really messed up on this day, and he doesn't understand the wedding etiquette in the lobby at all. No, the current Li Cha is just a marionette, letting the eldest grandson A group of women brought by the queen was at the mercy.

Wearing a thick dress, a series of jade pendants are tied around the waist, two more jade ornaments are hung around the neck, a piece of cloth with jade is tied on the forehead, and a purple gold crown is placed on top of the head.From Li Cha's point of view, no matter how you look at it, it's awkward.

The problem is that the face is covered with a thick layer of powder, and a big red flower is inserted on the head. What the hell is this?If it wasn't for marrying his wife, Li Cha would have fled long ago.

Seeing Li Cha who was already dressed up, Empress Changsun nodded in satisfaction. The third brother finally grew up and did not mess up.Now it's time to go out and greet the relatives.Empress Changsun gave Li Cha a few more words, then handed over the little si in her hand to Crown Prince Li Chengqian to go to Meng Huhu's house to look for the emperor.

As for why the banquet was held at Meng Huo's house, there was no other way.The princes of the Tang Dynasty got married, and there were prominent people in Chang'an City. Regardless of whether they received the invitation or not, they had to find a way to come. No matter what, the gift had to be delivered, and the owner had to personally deliver it.This Li Cha's house can't be pretended, and the Prince's Mansion has not been built, so they can only take in Meng Huhu's house which is comparable to the Duke's Mansion.

Princess Changle originally wanted to take the little si to Duan Hongxiu's side, but the little si refused to do so and insisted on following the eldest grandson to the third uncle's side.Said to marry with the third uncle.

As soon as Empress Changsun left, the scene instantly became lively.Little Si also ran to Li Cha's side to ask his third uncle to hug him.

"Third uncle, the queen mother said that from today on, Si can no longer be called Hongxiu sister, but will be called third aunt. But why did Hongxiu sister change from Hongxiu sister to third aunt when she married third uncle?" Little Si The childish words made everyone laugh out loud.

"Well, I'll know when little si grows up." Li Cha also said with a smile, he really didn't know how to explain this to little si.

"Hmph, last time my son asked my mother what a husband and son-in-law are, my mother also said that my son will know when he grows up, and now the third uncle says that he will know when he grows up, but his son has grown up, but I still don’t know anything.” When the little boy spoke, he measured his head, proving to Li Cha that he had grown up.

"Haha, it's not that this one has grown up, it's that you can't know until you grow up to the age of your elder sister Changle." Li Cha laughed.

"Oh, that son will grow up for a long time." The little son said a little depressed.

Time passed unknowingly amidst the laughter of the crowd.It's time to go out to greet the relatives.

When the sun reached the top of the mountain, the welcoming team led by Li Cha also arrived at the gate of Duke Fan's mansion.

After seeing Li Cha's welcoming team from a distance, the door that was originally open was completely closed with a "boom".It blocked the way for Li Cha to welcome the army.The high wall completely blocked the sight of the welcoming team, and they didn't know what was going on inside.

When they came to the gate of Fan Guogong's mansion, everyone shouted: "New wife".This means that the wedding team has come to urge the makeup.

Since I am here to urge makeup, then makeup reminder poems are indispensable.This matter is directly handed over to the talented and extremely intelligent Li Tai.Li Tai stepped forward, opened his voice and began to recite the long-sung makeup poem.

After Li Tai finished reading, "No, we have to listen to new ones. These are outdated. If you don't make new poems today, we won't open the door." A beautiful voice came from inside.

Li Tai is indeed a talented person, and he made a new makeup reminder poem by himself in a short time.

"Come one more, and I want the bridegroom to come by himself. Fourth brother, you step back, we don't want to listen to your poem." Okay, no need to ask, this must be one of Li Tai's mischievous younger sisters.Li Cha didn't know who it was, but Li Tai knew it as soon as he heard the voice. This was Princess Changle, who was favored by his father and her husband was his cousin Sun Chong, so he couldn't afford to offend her.

Li Tai helplessly spread his hands to Li Cha, and obediently backed away.And Li Chengqian didn't speak, and led Xiao Sizi to watch with a smile on his face.

Li Cha is now a marionette, his mind is in a mess, and he can't think of any makeup poems.

What should I do? Let the red envelope open the door. Fortunately, Li Cha was prepared when he was sober.It brought all the ways of opening the door with red envelopes from later generations.Thick red envelopes were continuously stuffed in from the bottom of the gate.

Not long after, the heavy door finally opened a crack.Everyone was overjoyed, they didn't expect the red envelopes to be so effective, and the red envelopes kept being stuffed in, waiting for the door to be fully opened.

It's a pity that they were too happy too early, and this slit was just to make it easier for Cheng Chumo and others to stuff the red envelopes. Seeing that the red envelopes were gone, the door closed again with a "bang".It was originally a lively game, and the women's army inside the gate couldn't let them in so easily.

Seeing that the door was closed again, Cheng Chumo was furious and shouted, "Come here, let's break the door open!" Cheng Chubi, Cheng Chuliang, Yuchi Baolin, and a few students with big arms and round waists stepped forward in an instant.

Before they could act, a female voice louder than Cheng Chumo came from inside: "Cheng Chumo, you dare to read poems obediently at the door, and you dare to break into the door and try."

The few people who were about to step forward all backed away after hearing this sentence, and no one dared to knock on the door.It seems that usually these few are not treated lightly by the tiger girl inside.

Thinking about it, Duan Hongxiu, as the daughter of the general of the Xuanjia Army, except for the royal princess, the rest of her girlfriends are probably the generals.This group of young generals who adhere to the principle of "good men don't fight women", really have no way to deal with them.

Seeing that the gate could not be entered, Li Cha also became anxious. This anxiety made his brain work better, and he blurted out a messy reminder poem: "In the sky, I wish to be a lovebird, and in the earth, I wish to be a Lianli branch. If it rains Gai can protect each other, only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals."

Everything is just a process, and there have been troubles.After Li Cha finished reading this makeup reminder poem, amidst the applause, the door finally opened.

The door opened, and the following things became much easier. After everyone had a lot of fun, Li Cha finally saw his new wife.Duan Hongxiu, the bride who was hiding behind Xi Niang, was crying, the powder on her face was washed away by tears, and she was lying in her mother's arms to be comforted. Mrs. Fan Guogong was also teary-eyed, comforting Duan Hongxiu , while touching his tears.

Li Cha was extremely surprised. Why are you still crying? You just live in another place. Your home is less than one kilometer away from the Duke Fan's mansion. Why are you crying here?A few days ago, Duan Hongxiu asked herself what to do if she couldn't cry when she got married, and whether she would make people laugh.Why are you crying so sadly today.

Finally, after shouting: "The auspicious time has come, please mount the bride.", Li Cha took over his bride from his father-in-law Duan Zhixuan, and helped her onto the well-dressed horse.The tiger girl of Jiangmen only rides a horse when she gets married, not a sedan chair.

Jiangmen Hunv was married, and she was still the first daughter of a state official's family, the news was not that small. 24 brightly armored guards cleared the way ahead, and their red cloaks were particularly dazzling during the march.Duan Hongxiu was riding on a tall horse, and a bright red veiled hat covered his head to shoulders, completely covering his pretty face.Duan Zan, Li Cha's brother-in-law, led the horse in front, followed by several carriages filled with dowry.

A group of people walked towards Li Cha's house in a mighty manner.

At the door of Li Cha's house, Cheng Chumo shouted at the top of his voice, "Young lady, you're home!"

A red carpet was spread from the feet of the bride to the inner hall.Li Cha carefully helped Duan Hongxiu off the horse, and helped her onto the red carpet.

"New wife, walk the red carpet, step up, step by step, don't step on the mud, don't get bad luck."

"New wife, sow the five grains, avoid the three evil spirits, bring good luck, and the five grains will be plentiful."

"New wife, lift jade feet, step over the brazier, happy to descend from the sky to Fuwo, good days are booming."

"New wife, lift your jade feet, straddle the saddle, be free from illness throughout your life, and be safe every step of the way."

"The new wife, lift the jade feet, straddle the rice bag, don't worry about food and clothing, one generation is better than the next."

After entering the door, walk the red carpet, scatter the grains, cross the brazier, the saddle, and the rice bag. Under the witness of everyone, the couple first worshiped the ancestors of heaven and earth, and then the husband and wife worshiped each other. Finally, Xi Niang cut a lock of their hair. Weave it into a braid, put it in a small box, and hand it to Duan Hongxiu, implying that the married couple.

Duan Hongxiu was also sent to the bridal chamber, and the next thing has nothing to do with her. She just waited for her husband to entertain the guests and come to the bridal chamber to find her.

The complicated wedding was finally over, and Li Cha got his wish and married his wife.Duan Hongxiu was sent to the bridal chamber, and Li Cha finally came to his senses, and rushed to Meng Huhu's house with the wedding party to drink with the guests.

When Li Cha arrived, all the guests present were almost drunk. With the degree of banquet wine and the drinking method of these people, it would be strange if they were not drunk.The last time Hejian County King Li Xiaogong had a treat, everyone had to stay sober and go home to arrange to grab salt and order wine. Naturally, they didn’t drink too much. Now that they have green salt at home and banquet wine, they naturally drank it freely. .

The literati no longer had the restraint they had before, and read out what they thought to be excellent works for everyone to appreciate.The generals were even more outrageous, Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong had already started wrestling shirtless there.Meng Huhu was the referee, seeing these two idiots who could do nothing to each other, he wished he could get out of the game.

Emperor Li Shimin sat there drunk and watched them make trouble.Empress Changsun was unwell and returned to the palace early.Otherwise, this group of people would not be so unscrupulous.

This is not Li Cha's wedding scene, this is simply another platform for this group of people to communicate with each other.

Seeing Li Cha coming, everyone stepped forward to say hello, such a good opportunity, how can we not be familiar with each other.Today is the day when Hua Wang is very happy. As long as it is not too much, this Hua Wang will not turn his face. Normally, they don't even have the courage to say hello to Li Cha.

Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong also stopped, even if they drank too much, they didn't dare to show their strength in front of this master.

Li Cha stepped forward, picked up the slightly lower alcohol banquet wine that Meng Huo had prepared for him, poured out a large bowl slowly, and held it in his hand.Seeing Li Cha's actions, everyone also stopped, waiting for Li Cha to speak.

"Everyone, today is my big wedding day. Thank you for your support. I'm done." After finishing speaking, Li Cha drank the wine in the bowl and turned the bowl over for everyone to see.This is a habit that Li Cha has developed in later generations.

"King Hua is being polite." Everyone also picked up their wine glasses one after another and took a drink with them.

"Everyone, go on, eat and drink well." Li Cha said with a smile.

The arena resumed its excitement.As the saying goes: wine is strong and courageous.It's not that these people are not so restrained in front of Li Cha.

Li Cha walked to Li Shimin and sat down.

"Second brother, today is May [-]th, they should have found my uncle. Second sister-in-law's illness will not last long." Li Cha recalled the pale face of Empress Changsun he saw today, and said worriedly.

"Your second sister-in-law is auspicious, they can definitely invite Dr. Sun. Your second sister-in-law will be fine." Li Shimin said in a firm tone, as if to comfort Li Cha, more like to give himself firm confidence.

　In the early Tang Dynasty, there were different opinions on whether to welcome or send off relatives.I won’t go into details here, let’s just watch the excitement.
