Chapter 108: The Wedding (Part II)
"Worship heaven and earth."
The red figure bent down, covering the bride's face, and the groom with the bride bending down, the two bowed very tacitly, and after the heaven and earth worshipped, they announced to the heavens that they were officially married, so that heaven and earth would bless them and avoid disasters.
"Two worship the high hall."
Gao Tang was not there, the two of them knelt in the direction of the palace, and the hundred officials watched this scene with a smile on their faces, even some officials who were not easy to deal with were difficult to suppress the excitement in their hearts at this moment, and all the grievances on festive days were abandoned at this moment.
This is the principle of the ancients to treat things, even if they have different ideas and different parties, at this moment, they have forgotten all this for the time being, and they are at the same table with nothing to do.
"Husband and wife."
Li Zhou heard the voice, his body involuntarily bent down, after bending, the two of them are legal husband and wife from now on, and they are going to live together.
After a bow, everything fell into place, the bride entered the cave room, and our groom Li Zhou was outside to greet the guests, every table went to condole, happy to drink wine, cup after cup, drink Li Zhou's head dizzy, those people still refused to let go of Li Zhou, continue to pour wine.
Fortunately, the alcohol in this era is not high, and Li Zhou is not drunk, stand up, shake his head, barely get rid of the dizziness, and continue to drink, after the big people have toasted, finally Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang and others, took a sip, and started their feast, Yang Jiong, saw that the salary reduction was almost over, helped Li Zhou to sit down, gave him a cup of tea, and Li Zhou drank it unceremoniously.
"Don't be surprised by the bad greetings, you two."
"Where, where, it's too late for me to be happy, to be able to see Your Highness get married, to be able to see so many officials eating and drinking together, I am extremely honored to arrive." Yang Jiong said with relief.
"Yes, Your Highness, you are getting married today, don't say such things, you know, soon after you get married, you will come to me, I don't know if so many people will come by then? You see, it's a princess, it's a prince, and there are so many court officials, it would be nice if half of my wedding was full. "It's not a simple thing to cut wages and envy that so many big people get together.
I don't know how many of his marriages can be?
"You two are settled, I got married when I first got married, only those few relatives, I didn't complain, what are you complaining about?" Yang Jiong is dissatisfied, you are a son of the current saint, a dignified prince, a son of the prime minister, and there are many guests to get married, what about me? At the beginning, there were only a few people in me, and I almost didn't even have the money to hold the marriage at that time, I didn't complain, what are you two ghosts crying wolf?
"Haha, Brother Yang doesn't have to be angry, didn't you know us at the beginning? If you had met the two of us earlier, you probably wouldn't have been. The salary cut patted Yang Jiong's shoulder while patiently comforting him.
"Yes, Brother Yang, you have a bright future, why do you care about the old things before? Let him pass the past, we care about the long-term future. Li Zhou grabbed the two of them, raised his glass, and said happily: "Come, toast to our brilliant future." ”
"Cheers."
"Cheers."
"Cheers!!"
Li Zhou, Yang Jiong, salary reduction, Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang, Pei Yan, crown prince Li Hong, prince Li Xian, right minister Yan Liben, left minister Jiang Ke...... Waiting for the big people to gather together, there is food and drink, and it is very lively, if you want to say that there is something missing here? That's .......
"The Divine Decree has arrived."
A discordant sound appeared, echoing in the palace, all the ministers, palace nobles, princesses and princes who were still happily eating and drinking knelt down one after another, kneeling on the ground regardless of the image, bowing their heads, Li Zhou took a step forward and knelt in front of the holy decree, Li Zhou had already guessed that things would be like this? He thought, he got married, how could there be no news in the palace for such a big thing?
Now that it had finally arrived, the eunuch shouted in his somewhat sharp voice, "Prince Li Zhe listens to orders." ”
"Li Zhe listens to orders."
The eunuch glanced down with his eyes, coughed, and opened his mouth to read out the holy decree: "I hereby hear that my son is married, on the day of great joy, I can't come to congratulate due to physical reasons, so I hereby issue a holy decree to celebrate, reward a thousand taels of gold, five hundred cloths, a pair of beautiful jade in Lantian, a piece of jade Ruyi, and a thousand acres of good land,............。 Chin this. ”
"Li Zhe took the order."
The golden holy decree fell into Li Zhou's hand, Li Zhou felt that his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and this holy decree only had a few words, which made his pores dilated and refreshed.
The emperor is the emperor, he is really generous, just a thousand hectares of fertile land is enough for Li Zhou to live for a few lifetimes, not counting those gold, beautiful jade, jade Ruyi or something, a lot of things, are some precious things, although Li Zhou doesn't like these, but he likes silver.
Money talks.
It's hard to move without money.
Li Zhou, who knew the meaning well, how could he not be happy, he stood up excitedly, and even looked at the father-in-law with a much gentler look, and opened his mouth to invite: "Father-in-law, don't you stay and have a meal?" ”
The father-in-law smiled very happily, his face seemed to bloom a flower, this prince was very good, very good, did not discriminate against the miscellaneous family, the father-in-law waved his hand and politely refused: "The slave family has thanked His Highness, there are still things in the palace, and the slave family wants to rush back to deal with it, so it will not disturb the interest of His Highness and the adults." ”
The father-in-law said that he would leave, and he didn't leave Li Zhou a little time to stay, there are so many officials here, isn't it asking for trouble for him to stay here as a father-in-law? Why bother?
"Father-in-law walks slowly."
With the holy decree, Li Zhou and the others continued to eat and drink, and after eating and drinking, the hundred officials left one after another, leaving behind the tables and chairs with cups and plates, and there was chaos, and Li Zhou didn't care about these, he was drunk and he entered the cave room with Ke'er's help, Ke'er hurriedly went out and closed the door.
There was silence inside, Li Zhou approached the bed step by step, Zhao Wanshuang's petite body sat there, Si Swenwen, quiet like a painting, sitting there, motionless, after Li Zhou entered, her body trembled slightly, and soon regained her calm, anxiously waiting.
The slender little hands clasped each other, moving nervously back and forth, Li Zhou felt her nervousness, sat on the chair tremblingly, poured a cup of tea and drank it, recovered a little spirit, and then said lightly: "I didn't expect us to get married so soon?" It's a little surprising to think about it, huh? ”
She didn't answer, sitting there, as if she couldn't hear Li Zhou's question, Li Zhou looked at the red cloth on her head, patted her forehead and suddenly realized: "Look at me, I forgot about it, you still have a red hijab?" I'll help you open it. ”
Li Zhou wasted a lot of effort, and finally lifted the red cloth, the red cloth fell, revealing the lovely inside, cherry-like lips, delicate, people couldn't help but go up and take a bite, the skin was like snow, and the face was smeared with a faint flush, like the pink of a lotus, and there was a kind of white of plum blossoms, three points of pink and two points of white, blending with each other, beautiful and dazzling.
Zhao Wanshuang raised her head, glanced at Li Zhou, stood up lightly, came to the edge of the table, poured a cup of tea and drank it, and then hurriedly poured the second cup, and drank it to relieve the hunger and thirst, Li Zhou smiled faintly: "Are you hungry?" Would you like something to eat? ”
Zhao Wanshuang nodded aggrievedly, she hadn't eaten all day, she was already so hungry that she couldn't go out, she had no choice but to cover her red hijab and couldn't go out, so she could only endure it until the moment when the red hijab was lifted, and she couldn't wait to drink two cups of tea to relieve her hunger and thirst.
"Wait a minute, I'll go out and find you something to eat." Li Zhou went out quickly, went out for a while, came in again, holding a bunch of delicious food in his hand, and put it on the table, Zhao Wanshuang opened her mouth to eat, not afraid of Li Zhou by her side, after a wolfing meal, her mouth was full of oil, and there were still traces on her face, Li Zhou reached out to wipe the oil off her face, and said, "Have you eaten enough?" ”
"Yes." After eating and drinking, I found that I was even more embarrassed at the moment, I didn't know how to face the husband in front of me, I had met twice, and I was about to get married, and in this case, there was a very strange feeling.
"What's wrong? But not enough to eat? I'll look for it again. Li Zhou noticed the strange feeling on her face, thought that she was not full, and was ready to go out to help her find something to eat.
"No...... No, I'm enough. Zhao Wanshuang reached out and grabbed Li Zhou's hand, Li turned around, and her face turned red slightly: "I really don't need it, I'm full." ”
“……。”
Embarrassed, Li Zhou looked at her quietly, her head was blank, she didn't seem to be able to find a topic to talk about, and she didn't know where to start.
Zhao Wanshuang was the same, when the words came to her lips, she found that she had forgotten and didn't remember what she wanted to say.
"You ......."
"I ......."
"You speak first."
"You go first."
The two fell into embarrassment again, and they didn't know how to get rid of this embarrassment, and finally mustered up a little courage to speak, but they found that the other party was the same as themselves, and the result was very tragic, and they didn't know what to say.
Li Zhou took a breath, and with the residual strength of the wine, he hugged Zhao Wanshuang in the past, not allowing her to resist, and went directly to the bedside, gently put her down, pressed her body, and exhaled a hot breath: "Let's rest early." ”
"Yes."
"Then I'll put out the candle."
"Yes."
In response to him, there was a mosquito-like voice, which echoed in Li Zhou's ears, the breeze blew, extinguishing the burning candlelight, and as soon as the candlelight was extinguished, the room began to change color, turning clouds and rain, smashing the yellow dragon, hehehaha, the sound continued, adding a little beautiful color to this dark night.
