Chapter 553: An Unexpected Wedding
With the bride price beating gongs and drums, a pair of live geese in the first load are particularly eye-catching. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The neighbors of Jiashanfang were very puzzled, the Xu family was going to marry a daughter? However, the Xu family only had one eldest daughter, Xu Wanzhen, could it be that she woke up? The answer she got was a big disappointment, Xu Wanzhen was still unconscious, and there was no sign of waking up.
Although two years have passed since that epidemic, the people of Beijing have not forgotten it. Xu Wanzhen's exploits are often mentioned, and people are looking forward to such a good woman waking up as soon as possible.
However, Xu Wanzhen is still in a coma, why did the Zhongguo Mansion send someone to the bride price?
What happened next was even more unexpected than everyone expected.
After accepting it, he took the birthdays of Wu Zhengxiang and Xu Wanzhen to the Dabei Temple, and the senior monk personally approved it as a "match made in heaven". Next, after Wending, the Wu family invited Mrs. Zhuang and three other Mrs. Quanfu, and together with the official media, sent the letter of appointment and the letter of gift to the Xu family.
The dowry of the martial arts family carried sixty-four loads in a mighty way, and each one was extremely solid.
Two quintals of cakes, four quintals of seafood, two pairs of three chickens, one piece of pork, two baskets of live fish, two pairs of coconuts, two jars of wine, two quintals of four Beijing fruits, two quintals of raw fruits, two quintals of tea, two quintals of sesame seeds, two boxes of gift gold boxes with lotus seeds and lilies, four pairs of phoenix cloud pattern gold heads inlaid with yellow tourmaline, four pairs of silver hairpins inlaid with gemstones, two boxes of pearls, two boxes of various colored gemstones, two boxes of gold and silver treasure flowers, two sets of Ru kiln porcelain, four pieces of red porcelain, ten pairs of dragon and phoenix candles, etc., and finally a bride of 10,000 taels.
Such a luxurious dowry has not appeared in Beijing for a long time, not to mention that the woman is still in a coma in bed? The people of Beijing regard this as a good story and praise this marriage one after another.
Even Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help but sigh after hearing about it in the palace: "Wu Zhengxiang is an infatuated person, it seems that no matter whether Zhen'er wakes up or not, he will marry her home." I just don't know if a few of Zhen'er's girls can protect her when she arrives at the Zhongguo Mansion. ”
If Xu Wanzhen was awake, Empress Dowager Xiao would not be worried at all. But if she enters the Zhongguo Mansion in a coma, the Chen family may even have the heart to eat her, so how can she compete with Mrs. Yipin with a few subordinates?
After thinking for a while, Empress Dowager Xiao picked two stable palace maids in the palace, and prepared to reward Xu Wanzhen as a dowry. Her people, what the Chen family wants to do, they have to weigh it first.
Wu Zhengxiang's mood was tormented.
Now that he has made up his mind, according to the rules, he can't go to see Xu Wanzhen again. He is not a person who attaches great importance to the rules, and it is not easy to see her? For more than two years, he has long been familiar with the road.
However, at this moment, he had to think more about Xu Wanzhen. He was afraid that what if he went to see her before marriage caused her to no longer wake up?
Fortunately, in order for his son to be able to talk to him again, Zhongguo Gong was quite active in this matter, and the Chen family couldn't intervene at all. This dowry is worth 20,000 taels.
Most of the three books and six ceremonies have passed, and there is only time left for the invitation and personal welcome. Wu Zhengxiang wanted to marry Xu Wanzhen home as soon as possible, he had been waiting for more than two years, and waiting for one more day now would be tormenting.
Old Madam Xu was very hesitant, whether Xu Wan could really wake up or not, it seemed that there was nothing to do at the moment. The marriage given by the Queen Mother naturally cannot be shirked, but she is also worried that Xu Wanzhen will be bullied if she marries into the martial family like this, and the care is not as good as being in the Xu family.
In the Xu family, as long as it is needed in Xu Wanzhen's small courtyard, it will definitely be met as soon as possible. The maids in the courtyard surrounded Xu Wanzhen alone, and it took more than two years to ensure that everything was the same for her.
A person who is in a coma marries into his mother-in-law's family, so it is not as convenient as being in his mother's house. Although the population of the martial family is not large, and there is only one concubine, the Lu family, but the Chen family does not like Wu Zhengxiang, this is a well-known fact, if she is angry with Xu Wanzhen in a coma because of this, what power does she have to resist?
As a result, the two families are at a stalemate here in the application period. The martial family wanted to be as fast as possible, but the Xu family thought that the slower the better, and it was best to wait for Xu Wanzhen to wake up before welcoming him.
Wu Zhengxiang was so anxious that he handed over the post and visited Xu's house in person.
"Old lady, I know your concerns and worries. But rest assured, I have made all the preparations, and Wanzhen has entered the door, and I will not suffer. ”
"Why do you make me believe you?"
Wu Zhengxiang handed over a roster and box: "Old lady, the people on it are the female guards I have personally trained in the past two years, and their skills are enough to protect Wanzhen in the backyard." ”
Old Madam Xu was surprised: "Female guard?" opened the roster and saw that there were twelve people on it, and their deeds of sale were placed in the box.
"They are in one of my villages, and the old lady can arrange for them to be Wanzhen's wedding guards. In this way, even if I am not in the house, no one will dare to bully her, their only master is Wanzhen. ”
These people were carefully collected by Qian Feng for him, and they are innocent and have no worries, and they are more than enough to be the female guards in the back house.
With this guarantee, Mrs. Xu finally relented and set the day of marriage on the sixth day of the next month. This day also happens to be Xu Wanzhen's seventeenth birthday.
The strangeness of this marriage has exceeded the imagination of everyone in Beijing.
I have only heard of a woman holding a man's tablet to get married, and I have never heard of a man willing to marry an unconscious woman. Isn't the most important thing for a man to marry a man to pass on the lineage? What is the use of marrying a comatose woman?
Some people say that the Wu family is forced to be helpless, because the Xu family has the support of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and this marriage is also rewarded by the Empress Dowager Xiao. Some people also say that Xu Wan is really like a fairy, so that the second son of the martial arts family only saw him a few times, and he never forgot it.
But more people, especially the young ladies in the boudoir, and those little daughters-in-law who have just been married for a long time, think that Wu Zhengxiang is a seed of infatuation, even if Xu Wanzhen is unconscious, he will not give up, and they envy Xu Wanzhen for having such a good husband.
No matter what everyone said, whether it was a blessing, envy or a red eye, it failed to break the pace of the Xu and Wu families.
For this wedding, Mrs. Xu Changrong, who was far away in Sangquan, rushed back. The day before they got married, together with the Zhu family, the Xu family invited Mrs. Zhuang and Mrs. Quanfu to go to the martial arts family to make beds together.
One hundred and twenty-eight dowries were carried out from the Xu family, and the gongs and drums were circled twice in the capital before they were sent to the samurai's mansion. Xu Wenyu, as his younger brother, held the key to the dowry box and held the dowry all the way.
Such a scene can only be compared with the marriage of Princess Chunhe in the first two years. But in terms of identity, the two are not the same. Although the Xu family is rich, being able to take out these ten miles of red makeup to marry shows that they love and value this married woman very much.
