111 111: The Couple (4)
Li Chen lowered his head and looked at his mother's hand.
She remembered that her mother's hands were slippery and soft, but now they didn't look as smooth as they used to be, and although they were well maintained, the outer layer of skin was a little loose. Father left Fengyang Pavilion like that just now...... Li Chen felt that his eyes couldn't stop getting hot, and the golden beans fell out.
"A-Niang......" has a nasal delicate voice, and her voice is elongated, as if she is coquettish.
Wu Zetian looked at his daughter, only to see that her eyes were red, and a thin mist was swirling inside, as if she would condense into droplets of water if she was not careful.
Wu Zetian smiled, stretched out his hand, and touched his daughter's face, "Don't be coquettish." ”
Li Chen didn't care, just played tricks, turned around and hugged his mother.
Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and reached out to caress her back, "Yongchang, it's time to be sensible, you can't be willful in the future." ”
Li Chen hugged her mother and didn't let go, she was really reluctant to let go of her father and mother.
Wu Zetian had no choice, so he had to let her hug her, and Taiping and several Li Zhi's daughters-in-law looked at Li Chen and Wu Zetian, and their eyes were a little wet.
But sometimes, that's how it is.
We don't want to grow up, but the years are ruthless, whether you want to or not, it keeps pushing you forward, and you can't turn back.
In the evening, the moon sets in the west, and a bright moon rises. Princess Yongchang's wedding car went out from the Xing'an Gate of Daming Palace and set off for Chang'an County.
In Datang, if the woman's status is higher than that of the man, the wedding is generally hosted by the daughter, which is very common in Datang, and the man will not be looked down upon as in later generations, saying that he is a son-in-law.
The place where the Song family went to greet their relatives was not in the Fengyang Pavilion of Daming Palace, but in Chang'an County. After the wedding is over, he will return to Princess Yongchang's mansion and then carry out the wedding after the wedding.
The location of the man's greeting was changed to the Chang'an County Ya, so the emperor and his wife naturally went to the Chang'an County Ya with Princess Yongchang's wedding car.
Song Jing went to pick up his relatives, and the prime minister was not a cousin of the Song family, but Zhou Jitong. Princess Shang is such a big deal, when the concubine picks up the princess, she doesn't say that she will kill six generals in five levels, but it is inevitable that she will be troubled in every way. And there are a few capable people around the saint, even the female officials in the harem are also literary and elegant, such as Shangguan Wan'er. If these people have a few problems when the groom receives their relatives, and makes a few poems to ask the horses to match, although the concubine Song Jing is rich and rich, but if there are ten or eight people to surround him, it will not work. At this time, the role of the prime minister is quite important, at least it can come out to block it. And Zhou Jitong is the fourth son of the eldest princess of Linchuan, he has often walked around the palace since he was a child, and he has a very good relationship with the concubine Song Jing, so it is naturally most appropriate for him to be the maid.
The steps of the Tang Dynasty wedding are cumbersome, Li Chen has seen the prince's brother and concubine before, several brothers marry wives, and Sister Taiping surrenders, no matter who it is, what she remembers the whole process is that the wild goose is very important at the wedding, being hugged and thrown around, and then the groom and the bridegroom must be able to chant poetry, and it is very important to be able to chant poetry, if you can't chant poetry, the groom may be very difficult to see the bride.
In short, after Li Chen arrived at the Chang'an County Ya, the gate of the Chang'an County Ya was closed, waiting for the concubine Song Jing to come to pick up his relatives.
Li Chen was sitting in the inner room, it was already very lively outside, and suddenly there was a lot of noise, Li Chen looked at Sister A and asked, "Sister?" ”
Taiping pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "It's the horse who came to greet you, don't worry, wait first." "It's just outside the gate, and there's still a long time to toss.
Li Chen pursed his lips and said, "I'm not in a hurry." ”
Taiping glanced at her with a smile, and then called Si Qi to help her out to have a look. Seeing this, Shu Zhi and the others came over and asked Li Chen, "Princess, do you want to drink some hot tea?" ”
Li Chen shook her head, she was a bride, and she couldn't go out to see. The cheers outside were very lively, and her heart was a little ticklish. At this time, Yang Zhi and Ganlu walked in with smiles on their faces, "Princess, Shangguan Cairen is fighting with the horse outside!" ”
Shangguan Wan'er and Song Jing?
No wonder the cheers are so loud, a talented woman, and a famous face through the ages, all of them are full of talent, and the audience eating melons next to the chess opponent is also very exciting.
Li Chen asked, "Who is better?" ”
Yang Zhi said with a smile: "The horses and Shangguan talents have their own merits, and they are comparable. When the maid came in, she changed to the concubine of the concubine and another female official in the Shangguan Cairen's room, and it was estimated that this time it was the concubine of the concubine who was better. ”
Li Chen smiled, estimated that there would be a while left, and told Shu Zhi that she was a little hungry.
Shu Zhi: "......" She has only seen the bride who is nervous and restless, and she has never seen the groom go through five levels outside to receive relatives, and the bride shouts that she is hungry.
But no matter what, Shu Zhi did get a bowl of lotus seed soup for Li Chen. However, before Li Chen could eat two bites, one of the female officials came in and saw that the princess was eating, and was silent, the emperor was really not in a hurry, and the eunuch died in a hurry.
The female officer hurriedly said, "Princess, you're going out." As he spoke, he glared at Yang Zhiganlu, "The pony is outside, and there is a barrier in the auditorium, so hurry up and see if the princess still has something to do." ”
At this time, Shangguan Wan'er and Taiping and others also came in, she is now a big celebrity around Her Royal Highness the Queen, and now the princess has surrendered, although the Ministry of Etiquette is responsible for the princess's wedding, but Her Royal Highness the Queen is not at ease, and her confidant Shangguan Wan'er has also been dialed over. Shangguan Wan'er stepped forward, helped Li Chen, looked at Li Chen with smiling eyes, and said sincerely: "The horse is outstanding in appearance and literary style, and he will definitely be able to make peace with the princess Jinse in the future." The pony had entered the auditorium, waiting for the princess to go out and continue her salute. ”
From the gate of the county government to the entrance to the house, it is really not easy. In Datang, if you think that the groom can see the bride if he can enter the house, it is wrong.
After the groom can enter the house, there is also a request for the removal of the barrier and the laying of the goose. Li Chen has seen this link, and he also played like this when Taiping came out. It's nothing more than that she stood here, and then waited for the geese on Song Jing's side to throw them over, and after the people on the princess's side caught the geese, the horse continued to chant poetry...... The request for removal must also be made by a boy and a girl. After the obstacle is removed, the groom still has to kneel in front of the bride with a wild goose, which is the wild goose.
At that time, Li Chen deeply felt in his heart that in the Tang Dynasty, men with bad literary skills and could not recite poetry, so don't get married, otherwise they will be sad.
Poetry is a basic skill that should be known to men who need to marry a wife. It's really a pit father's request, so how can thousands of science men live in the future?
At this time, Li Chen was helped out of the auditorium by the crown princess Fang, and through the barrier, he could vaguely see a long figure on the opposite side.
Finally, the wild geese were thrown away, the poems were also chanted, the sister-in-law on Princess Yongchang's side was very satisfied, and Shangguan Cairen was also very satisfied, so the obstacle was removed.
Li Chen stood in front of the barrier in his wedding dress, watching a pair of pink-carved boys and girls remove the barrier, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. It was only at this time that she seemed to have a feeling that she was going to surrender.
As soon as the barrier was removed, Li Chen raised his eyes and saw Song Jing in a true red dress.
The red Daji dress reflected his handsome face, and the candlelight all over the room seemed to be reflected in his dark eyes, which looked brilliant.
Li Chen was stunned.
She has never been familiar with Song Jing, she only knows that he is a very good person. After meeting several times, it was just a few words, and there was no way to really understand what the person's temperament was.
Now seeing Song Jing again, Li Chen finds that he is very unfamiliar with him.
He smiled slightly, his handsome and dazzling appearance, even the concubine Zhou Jitong who was standing beside him was overshadowed at this time.
Li Chen thought, it turned out that Song Jing was so good-looking, even better than she had thought before. 、
At this time, Song Jing also raised his eyes and looked at her.
Speaking of which, this is the first official meeting between Song Jing and Li Chen. It was officially met as a man and she was a woman.
Song Jing smiled and bowed slightly at her.
Li Chen was stunned.
And at this time, the voice of the ceremonial officer came-
"Say goodbye to your parents."
A couple of newlyweds went up and kowtowed to the saint and the queen who were seated in the hall.
Li Zhi's expression was gentle, watching his daughter kowtow respectfully in front of him, he didn't want to do anything, but then he couldn't help but reach out and wanted to help her up.
Li Chen looked at the big hand in front of him, was slightly stunned, raised his eyes to look at his father, his father had a complicated look on his face, and smiled at her very gently, routinely to tell his daughter who had surrendered, but he just started to shout his daughter's Yi name Yongchang, and his voice stopped, and he couldn't say any more.
Seeing this, Li Chen's eyes turned red in an instant, and tears fell down his eyes.
"Father." Li Chen knelt in front of his parents, and his heart was so sad that he couldn't do it.
She thought that she was sick when she was young, and her mother took care of her with her clothes, and she shouted for her mother, and her mother didn't bother her and took her with her to deal with the harem affairs. She thought of the scene when her father and mother accompanied her to practice calligraphy in Qingning Palace when she was a child, remembered that her father held her on a horse and galloped against the wind when she was in Dongfeng Taishan, and thought of his helpless and doting gaze every time she searched her father's treasures...... Scenes of the past flashed through her mind like a flash, and she was so sad that she couldn't help crying.
From then on, she was no longer just the daughter of her father and mother.
Those once beautiful and innocent years will become unforgettable memories that can never be returned.
Li Chen knelt under his parents' seat and couldn't cry.
