457. Hypnotic makeup
Tomorrow is the day of the makeup, Chu Shaoyuan took the wedding gift list and looked at it, and said strangely: "Why are there still Zhu Lan and Zhu Bi in the old man?"
It stands to reason that the Zhu family should be regarded as the woman's relatives, and should not appear in his welcoming procession.
Zhang Defu said: "The candidate is determined by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother pities you for not having a family member to help, saying that the Zhu family happens to be the emperor's foreign family, and you should take a hand in such a major event as you marry." ”
Chu Shaoyuan frowned, and the old man set five, including the fourth Chu Shaohan and the prince of Li, Chu Shaotian and Yan Yunwei, both commanded Feng Xuzhao, the first two are children of the clan, and there is no need to say much about their identities, and Feng Xuzhao in the back is holding heavy power, while the two sons of the Zhu family are just small Hanlin Academy editors, and they are far inferior to the previous ones in terms of family background and power.
The Queen Mother promoted the two brothers of the Zhu family and used his marriage to support them, and when his marriage was completed, the identities of the two brothers of the Zhu family could also rise.
He has always disliked the Zhu family, especially that Zhu Bi, who dared to dislike Wanwan, as soon as he thought of this, Chu Shaoyuan's anger couldn't help but rush to the top of his head, he was reluctant to move a finger, he was actually disliked by a poor scholar who had nowhere to go, and he wanted to use his marriage to make face, where in the world would there be such a good thing!
He thought for a while and said, "There are only five of them, which is really a little little, and Xiao Pei and Wang Jue are also added, which is just a seven, which can be regarded as complete." ”
Zhang Defu's mind turned quickly, Xiao Pei was a friend who lived and died with the prince, and Wang Jue recovered the horse market for the emperor, both of them had a deep friendship with the prince, he smiled and nodded in response: "The slave will go to find someone to write two more posts." ”
……
On this day of the makeup, the flower hall of Yuxiu Garden was full of golden and brilliant colors, red official uniforms, colorful python robes, and dragon robes that could only be worn by the children of the clan, standing in a room full of people.
In comparison, only the two brothers of the Zhu family are dressed the most plainly, without a little bells and whistles on their bodies, and the two brothers look exactly the same, although they are talking and laughing with everyone in the flower hall, they still feel a little uncomfortable.
The fourth prince was the last to arrive, he just entered the door and saw so many people, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching, Chu Shaoyuan is just a prince's title, and the lineup of marrying relatives is so huge, it is close to the specifications of the prince's wedding back then, he just calculated the prince, and he can get such benefits.
On the other hand, although he has not made any achievements in Fujian, he is the son of his father, but his father did not even give him the title of prince, but gave him the title of county king, and when he got married in a few months, he would inevitably be compared with Chu Shaoyuan.
Thinking of this, he couldn't be happy, and secretly glanced at Chu Shaoyuan.
Chu Shaoyuan was talking to Xiao Pei, and when he saw the fourth prince coming, the expression on his face did not change at all, he still had a soft face, and looked at him with a smile.
"Third brother, I'm late," the fourth prince looked apologetic, "My father asked me to go to the south study early this morning, there are some things to deal with in Fujian, so it's been delayed for some time, don't blame the third brother." ”
My father wouldn't have picked on him if he had something to do, not to mention the situation in Fujian, my father must have more information than him, and this excuse is really far-fetched.
But Chu Shaoyuan just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
Xiao Pei and the others knew that the fourth prince and the third prince had always been at odds, and if it weren't for today's urging, there was really no reason to excuse him, and he wouldn't willingly give face to the third prince, so they all smiled and didn't speak.
Wang Jue has been in the palace since he was a child, and he is more familiar with the four princes, so he smiled and said: "Fortunately, everything is here, and it will be auspicious soon, let's go, don't delay." ”
Xiao Pei was impatient to wait, and said as he walked: "I don't know if Hemei will make things difficult for us today, but he has a lot of strength, if he really wants to embarrass us, I'm afraid that it will not be easy for us to carry the dowry out." ”
Wang Jue said with a smile: "It shouldn't be difficult for us today, but it's hard to say tomorrow, tomorrow is the right day, if he wants to be embarrassed, in our group, only Su Ning can compete with him." ”
Xiao Pei sighed and said, "Tomorrow he will be embarrassed by the prince, where can I go up to the top, I have to rely on the prince himself." ”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
After walking for less than three quarters of an hour, the Xia family had been waiting in the alley for a long time, and when they saw the people who were urging makeup, they immediately happily put off the prepared firecrackers, and the whole pig and sheep prepared by Prince An's mansion and the gold and red lacquer gift box with the makeup items were carried into the Xia family, and countless people surrounded the alley to see the excitement, and it was jammed for a while.
Although the people living in the East Market are also dignitaries, it is not common for such people close to the center of power to gather here at once, and the onlookers watched the red official robe, and the people embroidered with the five-clawed dragon robe swaggered into the Xia family, and couldn't help but sigh and admire, Miss Xia's life is really good, and she was rewarded as the county lord, and she can marry the children of the royal family, maybe she can fight for the position of queen in the future.
Xia Mingchen accompanied the makeup people to eat a banquet in the flower hall, he had an extraordinary appearance, and he was very handsome, and he smiled like ice and snow melting, which won the favor of many people.
Some people who had never seen Xia Mingchen had heard Xiao Pei talk about him before, and they thought that he was a sturdy man, but where did they think that he would be such a handsome young man.
Prince Li's prince Chu Shaotian whispered to the fourth prince: "Seeing that the bride's brother is so handsome, presumably Miss Xia's appearance will not be bad, and the third prince is really a blessing." ”
The fourth prince smiled and didn't make a sound, Miss Xia Er only has her looks and can still see it, but there is nothing else to ask for, and I don't know if Chu Shaoyuan's brain is plugged, and he let Miss Zhu not marry, but he chose a useless one.
But fortunately, he didn't marry the Zhu family, otherwise how could he pick up this leak, although Miss Zhu does look ordinary, but women are not all the same, but they can get the support of the Zhu family by marriage, and a fool will refuse such a marriage.
Zhu Bi on the side listened to it, and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, as if he had eaten a rotten fruit, it was sour and smelly, he didn't expect that the person he didn't want would have such a good fate in the end.
He couldn't help but slander: What's the use of the second miss of the Xia family being beautiful, her temperament is so greedy and vain, and she doesn't know what will happen if she marries Prince An in the future.
Thinking like this, his eyes wandered a little, and he didn't come to his senses until the banquet was over.
When waiting for the makeup, Xia Mingchen did not think that Xiao Pei imagined that it was as difficult, and carried the dowry out of the Xia Mansion all the way unimpeded.
