Chapter 547: and the Rites
Soon after Sun Zhe and Luo Bijun got married, it was soon August, and Yuan Wenyi's ceremony finally arrived.
Whether it is for the names of Yuan Zhongdao and Yuan Zheng, or for the current Xuan He of the Lu family, there are many people who follow the trend and give gifts.
Yuan's aunt and nephew originally wanted to do a small job and invite some acquaintances to participate, but as soon as the famous post of the visit was put up, it was not easy to get it at will, so they had to post it the same way and prepare to take advantage of the situation.
Now Lu Shuo has resigned from the Hanlin Academy and the cabinet, and is idle at home, just waiting for him to take office in mid-August, although it is inconvenient for him to participate directly as a man and husband, but after all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime adult banquet, so he also helped Zhang Luo.
When it was the right day, the guests were welcomed in one after another, and the vast and mighty occupied the courtyard, all of whom were the officials and dependents of the Beijing Division, and the battle was not small.
However, the Lu family was prepared, but they were not in a hurry, and first led the guests to a suitable place to wait, and when it was just the right hour, they led them to the Houfu Garden.
The ceremony took place in the garden, where a house facing water on three sides had already been cleaned up as the place for the ceremony. This time it was still a lily of the valley banquet, but the ceremony was not in the main seat, so the female guests only had tea and fruits on the table.
When the time came, Yuan Wenyi came out of the courtyard as the person who made the ceremony.
She was dressed in a red curly robe, which reflected her figure more and more slender and neat, and her black hair was pressed without any jewelry, half of which was fixed on the top of her head with a wooden hairpin, and half was scattered behind her head like a waterfall.
Red clothes, white skin, black hair, such a simple dress, the officials and relatives sitting in the courtyard saw it, and they felt that there was a thrilling beauty.
With her coming out, it was Yuan's.
Yuan first said a few words, thanked all the ladies for their support, and then stopped talking nonsense, and directly invited the guests to come out, and the ceremony officially began.
Zhengbin is generally preferably respected by the elderly, and for these officials, Zhengbin is naturally more noble and happy.
Before Zhengbin came out, everyone was looking forward to it, and when they saw who the person who came out was, they gasped.
It turned out to be the eldest princess of Binyi.
The eldest princess of Binyi is nearly eighty years old, and her silver hair is like frost and snow, but she does not look old, but smiles, like a living Bodhisattva.
Needless to say, her identity is needless to say, even the saint has to call her aunt in front of her, plus she has children and grandchildren who are in good health, she can be said to be a Quanfu person, I don't know how many people in the Beijing Division want to find her to be a Quanfu person or Zhengbin, but she has been pushed by her on the grounds of her age, but now she has been invited by the Lu family......
The officials and relatives sitting at the bottom did not show their faces, but they seemed to have spied on something in their hearts, and they muttered one after another.
And the ceremony is still continuing, in addition to the main guest, there is also a tribute, a save, a rejection, a save, and a rejection, respectively, Yuan Wenyi's two handkerchiefs, and now it is still in the boudoir, but this praise also has a great background, it is actually the eldest lady of the Xue family.
The Xue family is a scholarly family, and it has been noble for generations, and this is not enough, such a family does not say that it is a big deal in Beijing, but there are a lot of them.
What is rare is that a few days ago, the queen had a banquet in the palace, and the eldest lady of the Xue family had been made the crown princess.
Although the holy decree has not yet been issued, this matter is already a certainty, and now the palace has sent the ordinance grandmother into the palace to teach, so when they saw her, the officials and relatives were suddenly quiet, but then they thought of the relationship between the prince and Lu Shuo, and they were relieved.
Even so, this time, the Lu family was able to invite the eldest princess of Binyi and the future crown princess to support the scene, and make such a big battle, but it was also shocking, and at the same time, the status of the Lu family was secretly estimated.
No matter what the officials and their relatives thought, when everyone arrived, the ceremony began.
The ceremony was announced, the musicians played ancient music, the three deacons respectively served trays containing hair flutes, hairpins, and hairpins, and the haters assisted the guests to wash and tie Yuan Wenyi's hair, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, and the sound gradually became louder, gradually overpowering the music here.
As a tribute, it was the first time that the eldest lady of the Xue family had encountered such a situation, so she instructed a grandmother on the side: "Annoying Mama to see what is happening outside." ”
The grandmother saluted and was about to go out, but the commotion became louder and louder, and then I saw several people dressed as mothers-in-law leading a eunuch in.
Many of the people present are Mrs. Decree, and they recognize the identity of this eunuch at a glance, isn't it the big eunuch next to the queen?
Seeing his happy face, the ladies who had just held the mentality of watching jokes raised their eyebrows and looked at the big eunuch.
Didn't you come to proclaim the decree?
The ceremony in the center of the courtyard had stopped, and the Lu family reacted quickly and immediately prepared an incense case, and the ladies of the courtyard knelt down in front of the eunuch one after another.
The eunuch was still smiling, and opened the decree and read it.
But it turned out to be a reward, and the will was full of praise for Yuan Wenyi, and praised the young Mrs. Hou, and then there were a bunch of rewards.
Among them, the silver two cloths are not tabled for the time being, and the queen also specially appreciates a white hosta with a bright white body, the white hosta looks at the fine carving, and it is not an ordinary product at a glance, and the ladies present are envious.
Not only for this hairpin, but also for this glory.
Over the years, in addition to the princess and princess, who have received such a reward?
However, this is not counted, after the eunuch finished reading the queen's reward, he smiled gently, and then said: "Madame Wanfu, it just so happened that when the queen was rewarded, His Majesty was also in the palace, so he also added a pair of jade Ruyi, and this is the first part of the big one, and the slave maid will say hello to you." ”
After saying that, he bowed, and waved his hand to let the little eunuch behind him come forward and bring a pair of jade ruyi up.
That jade ruyi was just ordinary, and then the officials and relatives under the head were even more excited than just now.
Your Majesty's appreciation, what a face!
Yuan Wenyi hurriedly bowed and saluted, thanking Emperor Huichong and Empress Wang for their rewards, and the ladies beside her looked at her delicate figure with envy.
Even the eldest lady of the Xue family behind her was the same.
This is the benefit of having a good mother and a good husband.
She now understands the reason why her grandfather asked her to come to Lu Mansion and recommend herself as a tribute.
Even the queen and queen have to reward the Lu family to get closer to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and she, the crown princess who has not yet crossed the bright road, has an uncertain future, so she has to go to her favor.
The ladies in the courtyard were full of thoughts at this moment, and their attitudes became subtle.
After sending the eunuch away, the ceremony continued, but the hairpin used by the hairpin was changed from the hairpin given by the original Luo family to this white hosta.
