Chapter 405 Pheasant Feather Palace Fan
Lunar calendar, the twenty-second day of the first month, Fusheng, Mingtang, Yuedehe, should be married. The grand occasion of the marriage between Xia Mansion and Lu Mansion was unprecedented, causing a sensation in Xiao'an, and the BMW carved cars and flying festive red silk stretched for more than ten miles, and the frolicking children followed behind the crackling firecrackers, which blocked the streets of Xiao'an.
Needless to say, the summer mansion is naturally full of people, busy with traffic, laughter, and excitement. Even outside the Xia Mansion, it is also crowded with small people who gather three or five, as if everyone has the heart to be contaminated with the festive atmosphere of famous families and ask for a good fortune in the coming year.
It's just that the auspicious time is approaching, and the sedan chair still hasn't appeared, and the long red cannon next to the stone lion outside the gate shows no sign of ignition.
"It's going to be late, it's going to be late!" Mrs. Liu, who is a half-old, flipped melon seed shells in her mouth, and looked at the alley anxiously, as if her own son was about to get married.
"What's the hurry," the blind man who nails horseshoes on the corner of the street all the year round knocked on the root of the wall with a small hammer, "Later, there are big people who want to come to congratulate him." β
"You are blind and can't see, why do you say that a big man is coming?" Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes.
"Didn't you hear," the blind man said in a low voice, "those high-ranking princes and ministers, today's voices are three points lower than usual...... Also, in my ears, I can already hear the brass applause of the horses' hooves. β
"Bronze palm?!" Mrs. Liu blinked her eyes and looked farther away on tiptoe.
The horseshoe has always been nailed with an iron palm, but it is clearly written in the national ritual system that the mount of the royal family is nailed with a copper palm.
"The sedan chair hasn't arrived, the artillery battle hasn't been lit, it's waiting for people......" Before the blind man Lu finished speaking, he suddenly heard a chaotic footstep sound from inside the gate of the Xia Mansion, and immediately stopped the sound.
"There are a lot of people who have come out," Mrs. Liu whispered, "The first Lord Zuo Xiang and a few brothers have met, and the one next to Lord Zuo Xiang is designated as the head of the Lu Mansion, and there are many senior officials and brothers who went to the mansion first...... What's going on, all the brains are running out?"
"It's the master who is coming. Lu Blind squinted.
"The master ......" Mrs. Liu wiped her mouth, stretched her neck and held her breath for a long time, only to see a eunuch riding a horse from a distance.
"Lord Xia, Lord Lu. The eunuch dismounted in front of Xia Jipheasant, Lu Tinghe and others and whispered a few words, Xia Jipheasant and Lu Tinghe immediately showed joy on their faces, and the expressions of everyone standing behind the two became more and more respectful.
After a while, more than 10 pairs of palace maids with fragrant clothes and sideburns holding phoenix dragons, pheasant feather palace fans, pinning gold furnaces, royal incense embroidered handkerchiefs and other things slowly came, and then, a gold-topped goose yellow embroidered phoenix crank umbrella cover waving in the wind came into view, under the umbrella cover is four gold and silver glowing horses and a jade chariot with a bead curtain shining, in the jade chariot, it is faintly visible that there is a beautiful woman sitting with a phoenix crown and a xia curtain.
"What a big battle," Mrs. Liu sighed enviously, "this is ...... This is the young lady of Xia Mansion, I saw it twenty years ago, she was a beautiful embryo when she was a child, and now she is the mother of the palace. β
Xia and Pheasant and Lu Tinghe immediately stepped forward to greet the jade chariot, but the jade chariot only stopped briefly in front of the Xia Mansion Gate, and then silently entered the high wall through the side door.
"Look, this identity, this style, so many officials and masters don't even dare to breathe when they see a little girl. Mrs. Liu chattered again.
"Why are all the mothers in the house, and they still haven't gone in?" someone in the crowd wondered.
"The copper palm, the copper palm is not all there yet. The blind man turned his head and listened.
Click, click...... A red horse suddenly came with a mane and flying hooves.
"The third, fourth, and fifth princes have arrivedβ" said the guard on horseback.
"Weichen greets the three princes!" As Xia Jipheasant and Lu Tinghe bowed solemnly, everyone immediately bowed in unison.
Outside the alley, more than 50 soldiers dressed in golden helmets and armor with feather arrows hanging on their waists escorted three magnificent BMW carved cars slowly approaching.
"It's a great joy today, and you don't have to be so formal. The gold-inlaid and jade-inlaid fox fur brocade curtain was lifted by the attendants, and from the first carriage walked proudly down was Lin Ziyan, who was dressed in an indigo brocade robe and had graceful eyebrows.
"The words of the fifth prince are really embarrassing!" Xia Ji said in fear.
"Congratulations to Lord Xia and Lord Lu on the joy of Hongluan Tianxi and the friendship of Qin and Jin. Lin Chenghan, dressed in a sea blue brocade robe, stepped down from the second carriage.
"Thank you to the third prince Ji Yan!" Xia Jipheasant, Lu Ting and Chaolin Chenghan bowed.
"Where is the bride?" Lin Anyu, who had a fat head and big ears, stepped out of the carriage with difficulty with the support of the attendants, "I heard that this cousin of the fifth brother has very delicate eyebrows, I don't know how it compares to Yinyin?"
"The sound is pink and jade, bright and moving, completely different from the eyebrows and eyes, how can the two be compared?" Lin Ziyan said in a stiff tone, obviously in an extremely bad mood.
"The fifth prince has been raised," Lu Tinghe hurriedly said, "The county lord has golden branches and jade leaves, flowers and moon appearance, how can Lu Qian compare." β
"What the fifth brother said is that peonies and hibiscus have their own beauty, that is, fragrance, and each has its own goodness. Lin Anyu smiled, seemingly not caring.
"The four princes are reasonable, it is really a blessing for my son to be able to marry such a beautiful woman. Xia and Pheasant said with a smile on his face, "Today, the three princes came to the cold house in person, and Weichen was grateful and speechless, but it was too cold outside, please enter the mansion for a while, and then the ceremony will begin, how about Weichen invite the three princes to the front hall to watch the ceremony?"
"It's fine. Lin Chenghan said that he should step up the stone steps first, and Lin Anyu immediately followed.
"Uncle Mother," Lin Ziyan glanced at Lu Ting and the people standing behind him, "Brother Wang is here today?"
"This ......" Lu Tinghe hesitated slightly, "Concubine Yi and the three princes can come to watch the ceremony, it is already a great grace, and the gift of the Xuan Palace's mansion has already been delivered, thanks to the love of the five princes." β
And he agreed. Lin Ziyan said with a calm face.
"Fifth brother," on the stone steps, Lin Anyu saw that Lin Ziyan had not yet followed, turned around and beckoned, "It's cold outside, let's enter the house quickly." β
"Exactly," Lu Tinghe bowed, "The fifth prince is the body of a daughter, so let's go first to avoid the cold." β
Lin Ziyan frowned and looked at the empty alley, flicked his sleeves and walked towards the Xia Mansion.
Now that the distinguished guests have entered the mansion, the princes and ministers who came out to welcome them and the sons and nephews of the Xia Mansion and the Lu Mansion naturally followed Lin Ziyan and others into the gate of the Xia Mansion.
Bang!!Bang!! a cannon battle rose into the sky at the mouth of the alley, and countless red confetti were like beautiful petals of Manzhu Sahua, falling from the sky one by one, full of brilliance, beautiful.
"The bride is coming-" With high-pitched shouts, loud suona and celebratory gongs and drums came from afar.
Crackling...... The long firecrackers were finally lit, and the tall horse draped in red silk sat the graceful groom official Xia Yiqing, and in the magnificent red sedan chair behind Xia Yiqing, there was a young girl with delicate eyebrows...... Compared with the waves caused by the marriage of Xia Mansion and Lu Mansion in the court, she was more concerned about the man on horseback, her husband, the man who would join hands with her for the rest of his life in the future, although she had only seen his back, her heart was already a little happy.
Sheng Song was boiling, soaring into the sky, the jubilant Xia Yiqing looked back at the sedan chair, the woman sitting in the sedan chair was his newlywed wife, this game, Xia Fu pressed the chips on Lin Ziyan's body.
If one day in the future, the woman in the sedan chair asked him why he married her today, he would tell her truthfully that he had married her because the prince's mansion did not need the Xia Mansion, and the Yi Emperor's Mansion and the Yi Wang's Mansion needed the Xia Mansion very much. However, he would also tell her that he was truly in love with her in the day-to-day relationships that followed.
That's right, he won't let her down, he can pamper her, just like he once doted on his wife who has died of illness, as long as a woman gets the love of her husband, what can't she tolerate? What's more, he is not a ruthless and unintentional prodigal son, he just wants to fight for more benefits for the family in addition to a love.
Xia Yiqing and the eight sedan chairs were happily embraced into the Xia Mansion by the welcoming crowd, if it is said that in ordinary people's homes, the bride gets off the sedan chair, passes the brazier, and worships heaven and earth with her husband and other most popular ceremonies, but the Xia Mansion of the high-ranking family marries a wife, and these interesting things are naturally invisible.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to see except for the artillery battles scattered all over the place, the small people gathered outside the Xiafu Gate had no choice but to sigh and disperse one after another, but the blind man smashed his mouth and still stood in place and refused to leave.
"Lu blind," Mrs. Liu let out a light disdain, "I have never seen my mother in my life, a blind man loves to watch the excitement like you!"
"No, no, the bronze palm is not all there yet!" said the blind man insisted.
"I said blind, there are only a few princes in our country, except for the prince today, everyone else is here, you still have a copper palm, I really don't know what the copper palm is!"
"It's clearly stopped outside the alley, why don't you come?" Lu Blind muttered, and was about to grope his way back, when he suddenly stopped again, "Come, come in!"
"You old blind man is talking nonsense......" Mrs. Liu turned her head inadvertently, and suddenly became dumbfounded.
