Yang Mingde accompanied the conversation at the main table, looking sincerely afraid. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wei Wende said in a very humble tone, and said: "Lord Yang is the pride of our Xuanzhou, I said a long time ago, he is a young talent, and his future is limitless, sure enough, he became an earl at a young age, this is really a blessing for the Yang family, and it is also the pride of our Xuancheng, and now he is married to the daughter of Han Shenyi, which is the icing on the cake." ”
Doctor Han and Han Feiyu laughed on the side, and even claimed that it was.
Yang Mingde is still very emotional in his heart, more than half a year ago, the prefect also suppressed the Yang family, almost closing the Yang family's pharmacy, but now, he is running around and patting horses, and it is really a mountain that does not turn around.
As he was talking, Yang Xianmao had already taken the bride's sedan chair and returned to the Yang family's house in the sound of suona and drums, many people ran to greet and see the excitement, Yang Xianmao walked all the way and bowed his hand, and the sedan chair was directly carried into the waiting room next to the worship of heaven and earth, and he could only come out when he worshipped heaven and earth.
When Yang Xianmao rode to the gate of the small courtyard of the main courtyard, he saw a number of officials wearing official uniforms standing outside the door, the first of which was the prefect Wei Wende.
Yang Xianmao turned over and dismounted, walked over, hugged his fists and arched his hands, and said, "Hello adults, you have come to cheer, thank you very much!"
Wei Wende hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and said: "Congratulations to Lord Yang on his humble duties, I wish Lord Yang and his wife raise their eyebrows and grow old together." ”
Hu Tongju and others followed behind, and they also bowed down together, and the congratulatory voices in their mouths were endless.
Wei Wende, the prefect, is only a fifth-grade official, and Yang Xianmao's founding uncle and Shangqingche Duwei are fourth-grade, which is much higher than his official rank, so Wei Governor's Mansion claims to be humble in front of Yang Xianmao.
Yang Xianmao bowed down to express his gratitude, and then led the way in. The officials followed, returned to the main hall, greeted everyone first, and then entered the wing room, with Han Xue'e, waiting to worship the hall.
The auspicious time has arrived, and the master of ceremonies loudly announces the beginning of the ceremony of worshipping heaven and earth.
In the sound of drums and firecrackers, the matchmaker and the maids accompanied Yang Xianmao with a red ribbon to pull the bride Han Xue'e, walked out of the wing room, and came to the happy hall of worshipping heaven and earth.
Yang Mingde and Zhang sat on the left and right chairs.
Yang Xianmao led her new daughter-in-law, Han Xue'e, to the wedding hall. The master of ceremonies sang loudly: "One worships heaven and earth, two worships the high hall, and husband and wife worship each other." Courtesy!"
Suddenly, the drums sounded in unison, the sound of firecrackers shook the sky, and the whole courtyard was filled with a festive atmosphere, and all the guests stood up and bowed down to congratulate them.
Then, the master of ceremonies loudly announced the beginning of the concubine ceremony.
Many of the guests didn't know that there was such a link, and they couldn't help but be very novel, and they all stretched their necks to watch the excitement.
It is really not simple for the wives and concubines of the Yang family to pass through the door almost at the same time, and it can also be seen that the identity and status of this concubine are different, I am afraid that it is only slightly inferior to his wife, and it can also be seen that the Yang family attaches great importance to this concubine, but I don't know what kind of character it is.
Although many people in the government knew the verdict of the crown princess and Prince Wu Yueqian, they didn't know that the crown princess later married him Yang Xianmao, and now they are above this happy hall, and they have never seen the crown princess, so of course they will not link the two things.
The red hijab on the bride's head Han Xue'e has not yet been lifted, and with the support of the maid and mother-in-law, she sits down on the chair of Zhang's subordinate and accepts the salute of Xinna's concubine before entering the cave room.
The crown princess came out of another room surrounded by maids and mothers-in-law, but she did not have a red stamped head, but she was also wearing a phoenix crown and a veil, which made everyone even more privately discuss that the status of this concubine was extraordinary. is almost the same as the original wife in terms of etiquette.
The crown princess came to the top of the happy hall and looked at Yang Xianmao shyly. Yang Xianmao threw him an encouraging look, and the crown princess nodded slightly, and according to the procedure taught in advance, she stepped forward to bow to Yang Mingde and his wife.
Then, she wanted to bow to her original wife, but Han Xue'e took the first step to hold her and said: "Sister doesn't have to be like this, you and I sisters serve the same husband, there is no difference between high and low." ”
The crown princess just hummed gratefully: "Thank you, grandma." ”
Her grandmother has already determined that in her heart, the two are still wives and concubines, even if they are usually called sisters, their identities and statuses are still different.
After the ceremony, it is time to display the gifts given by the emperor.
When Yang Xianmao came back, he had already told his parents about a brocade box given by the emperor, and the emperor asked to display it after the heaven and earth worship. At that moment, the incense table was put on the table, and the family burned incense with clean hands to welcome the holy reward.
The emperor's brocade box was placed on the incense case, and after burning the incense, Yang Mingde personally stepped forward and bowed down respectfully to open the brocade box, but inside it was a golden scroll, and he took it out, showing it to everyone with a bit of pride, and then slowly unfolded it, but it was a holy decree. couldn't help but be overjoyed, cleared his throat, and began to read in a subdued voice:
"The emperor said: Tai Hospital Imperial Doctor, Captain of the Light Car, Zheng Shi, the wife of Yang Xianmao, the founder of the country, Yu De Roujia, hold on to himself, come from the family of benevolence and virtue, concubine in the talented Ying, should have praise, in order to show the virtuous. It is specially named Shuoren, Shang Dunjing's loyalty, and Yiyi Jiaxiang. Chin this. ”
After Yang Mingde shook his head and finished reading, he was very satisfied and admired, thinking that his daughter-in-law could get the emperor's canonization, and now she has become Mrs. Destiny. This is really a great blessing, a matter of glory to the ancestors.
So he was overjoyed, shook his head, and admired for a moment as if he admired the splendid article of the sage, then turned around, respectfully put the holy decree back into the brocade box on the incense case, turned around, and was about to greet everyone's congratulations, but saw Wei Wende and other officials in the audience looking at him dumbfounded.
Yang Mingde was a little confused, and looked at Yang Xianmao suspiciously. Yang Xianmao stood there with an embarrassed expression, not knowing what to do.
The courtyard was full of people who were on the stage, and they all heard the words of the holy decree clearly, so there was silence, silent, and looked at him dumbfoundedly.
At this moment, I heard a girl at the main table burst out laughing and said, "This is trouble, big brother, your little concubine is Mrs. Fate, where are you supposed to put it?"
It was Xuan'er, the princess of the kingdom, who said this. With a smile, he tilted his head and looked at Yang Xianmao, who was standing there with a flushed face, very embarrassed.
Yang Mingde came back to his senses at this time, and pondered for a while, as if the canonization object mentioned in the holy decree was the Zheng family, his daughter-in-law was the Han family, and only the concubine and princess were surnamed Zheng. It turned out that this holy decree was for the canonization of concubines.
Is it mistaken, he turned around and picked up the holy decree and unfolded it and looked at it carefully, yes, it was clearly written "Yang Xianmao's wife Zheng" - the holy decree canonized "Yang Xianmao's wife Zheng", and put Zheng in the position of "wife", how did this happen?
He didn't know that when Song Taizong issued this holy decree, he didn't know that Yang Xianmao had already said a marriage in his hometown, and he wanted to marry Han Xue'e as his wife, and the crown princess could only be reduced to a concubine, which caused such an embarrassing situation.
Yang Xianmao didn't know that there was a canonization decree in this brocade box, which was to canonize the crown princess. He thought it was a gift from the emperor, or a congratulatory message inscribed by himself. Moreover, the emperor has made it clear that he will not be able to open the seal until he worships heaven and earth, so if he has delayed until now, he would not have been so embarrassed if he had known the content earlier.
Han Xue'e, who was wearing a phoenix crown and a red hijab, listened to the holy decree, and called Zheng the wife of Yang Xianmao, and canonized as the wife of the fourth grade, she couldn't help but be shocked, stood up, turned around and walked quickly to the back room.
Because she walked too fast, the red hijab on her head almost fell to the ground, and Bai Ju, the maid who followed closely behind in a panic, hurriedly reached out to help her hold down the red hijab and escorted her into the back room.
The crown princess also looked very embarrassed, she didn't expect such a result. Although this result made her happy, she was more afraid. She really didn't want to turn her house upside down as soon as she entered the door, so she hesitated for a moment, and followed Han Xue'e to the inner room.
Yang Mingde looked at Han Shenyi and Han Feiyu, who were also looking at him awkwardly, very embarrassed.
Of course, the two of them are embarrassed, although their eldest brother Han Feizu is the guest of honor of the emperor's Juxian Pavilion, he has not received any canonization and has no official position, and although the princess's family does not have an official position at present, but after the emperor's canonization, she is Mrs. Sipin, the same as Yang Xianmao.
The most terrible thing is that the emperor's holy decree has clearly stated that the Zheng family is Yang Xianmao's wife.
But just now, Yang Xianmao had already worshiped heaven and earth with Han Xue'e, and already had a wife, so it was troublesome, should he recognize Han Xue'e, the wife of heaven and earth, or the wife Zheng who was recognized in the emperor's holy decree?
If Han Feiyu and Doctor Han knew that there was such a holy decree, they would not dare to fight with the Zheng family for this title even if they were killed. But now that things have happened, what should be done about the aftermath?
When everyone froze on the spot and didn't know what to do, in the end, the prefect Wei Wende was calm and experienced, got up with a smile and said to Yang Mingde: "Congratulations, old lady Yang, shouldn't we drink? ”
Hu Tongju also reacted immediately, and hurriedly shouted to him: "Yes, yes, don't you still have wine?" After waiting for a long time, the ceremony is over, and it is time to treat the wine worm in our stomach, I still want to have a good drink with Lord Yang." ”
Yang Mingde happened to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and hurriedly beckoned and said: "Yes, yes, the banquet begins!
For a while, the drums were playing in unison, and the firecrackers shook the sky, and then, Yang Mingde carried a wine jug and ran over to pour wine for everyone with a smile.
Wei Wende took the wine glass and said to Yang Xianmao: "Lord Yang, you hurry up and lift the red hijab and drink a glass of wine, and then come over." We're still waiting to drink with you, hahahaha. ”
Yang Xianmao understood that Wei Wende was reminding him to hurry in and greet the two daughters-in-law, don't make any trouble, so he quickly agreed, and quickly flew into the back room. The personal maid Hongsheng also hurriedly followed the young master into the back room.
When Yang Xianmao came to the house, she saw Han Xue'e sitting on the embroidery bed, with her head bowed, her head covered with a big red hijab, trembling, and hearing a soft cry. And the crown princess is like a child who has done something wrong, standing by the bed, twisting the corners of her clothes, panicking, not knowing what to do.
