Chapter 106: The Big Wedding (1)
"At the beginning, your second sister was a female official in the palace, and your second brother-in-law was still a small official in the Ministry of Officials at that time, and in terms of rank, it was several levels lower than your second sister."
Xiao Han saw that Chang Runzhi didn't know about this past, so he told her in detail.
"At that time, your second sister came back to tell me that she fell in love with a concubine in the third room of the Zhenguo Mansion, and said that he was diligent and motivated, although he may not be able to get out now, but he will not be pressed forever. At that time, your second sister had such an identity as a female official, and there were quite a few people who came to propose marriage, and some family sisters-in-law were also willing to marry her back as a wife. Originally, I didn't think much of your second brother-in-law, but thinking that this is the person your second sister herself fancies, I didn't refuse. So I reported to the old lady and let the old lady decide. ”
"After thinking about it, the old lady sent someone to carefully inquire about your second brother-in-law's character, and then agreed."
When Xiao Han said this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "At that time, your father was very displeased, thinking that although your second sister was a concubine, her appearance talents were all top good, and he was a concubine of the Guogong Mansion who had no ability at all, and he was married low, and he did not agree with your second sister's marriage." Later, it was the old lady who scolded him, and because of filial piety, your father had to agree. ”
Chang Runzhi pursed his lips and smiled.
Xiao Han continued: "This marriage actually has to be decided, and there is still a turmoil in it. Our side does not dislike the identity of your second brother-in-law, but the third wife at the end of the Zhenguo Mansion is a little unhappy with this family. ”
Chang Runzhi thought for a while, frowned and said, "Is it that the third wife can't see that the concubine has a strong Yue family?" ”
Xiao Han nodded: "That third wife is not generous and tolerant, and it is not easy for your second brother-in-law to make a living under his mother-in-law." According to your second sister, your second brother-in-law had several opportunities to be upgraded, but he didn't succeed, and it was this third wife who was making trouble behind his back. This third wife has a sister-in-law, how can she tolerate a better future than her own son before her sister-in-law has no interest? ”
"Now the third wife probably always thought that your second brother-in-law would be able to catch up with Hangzhou Tongzhi and die of illness in the second year to make up for his lack because our family was behind the scenes. That's why she hasn't been looking at our house very well. Taking care of your second sister's face, we still have one or two contacts with the Zhenguo Mansion during the New Year's Festival. It's not close. ”
Chang Runzhi said softly: "The thoughts of these three wives are actually very normal. didn't persecute the second brother-in-law, nor did she sabotage it, even if she didn't like it with some sour words, it wasn't too much for her. ”
Xiao Han smiled: "So she is also a little evil." If she is really a powerful scorpion character, I won't let your second sister become their daughter-in-law. Even if your second brother-in-law is lucky, he will become a relative, so he will have a good errand and take your second sister out of the capital, and you don't have to get in the way of the third wife. ”
Chang Runzhi smiled: "It's all mothers, it's best to be mothers." ”
Xiao Han glanced at her and scolded her with a smile: "Flim tongue." ”
Chang Runzhi was about to get tired of being coquettish beside Xiao Han, and Xiao Han was busy pushing her: "Okay, you should go back to your boudoir to dress up." It is estimated that someone will come from the Ministry of Rites and the palace in a while. ”
Chang Runzhi obediently went back, and the dressing lady was already waiting in her room.
Seeing Chang Runzhi, the dressing lady hurriedly saluted, opened her set of tools to be used for dressing, and showed Chang Runzhi one by one.
Chang Runzhi naturally had no objections, closed his eyes and let the dressing lady fiddle.
Halfway through the cleansing, Yuqi led the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the grandmother from the palace to teach court etiquette.
The one who came from the Ministry of Rites was a middle-aged man with a straight face, and after seeing Chang Run, he didn't say much, and took the holy decree in his sleeve and began to announce it.
Chang Runzhi hurriedly knelt down to listen to the announcement, and after a bunch of gorgeous and unfamiliar written words were read, the ceremonial official handed the holy decree to Chang Runzhi's hand.
This is a holy decree to give Chang Run's princess the title, Chang Runzhi has to carry this holy decree into the gate of the Nine Emperors' Mansion, and after the ceremony is completed, she will go to the Ministry of Rites with the Nine Emperors after marriage, display this holy decree, and leave her name on the royal sect, so that she can become a real royal daughter-in-law.
Chang Runzhi solemnly put the holy decree in the long box and handed it over to Yao Huang for safekeeping.
After the ceremonial official announced the decree, he said two words of joy, and then withdrew, leaving the grandmother from the palace to explain the court etiquette to Chang Runzhi.
This grandmother was selected by the concubine, with a kind face, and she did not have the old-fashioned appearance of the old grandmothers.
She told Chang Runzhi in detail some things that need to be paid attention to in the court, and told Chang Runzhi the remaining process to go today, as well as the things that need to be done every day on the second, third, and fourth days after the personal greeting ceremony is completed today.
At the end, Mama said softly: "The old slave passed on the words of the concubine. ”
Chang Runzhi immediately stood up straight and bowed his head.
"Because the former Nine Emperor Princesses recuperated from their injuries when they passed through the door, they did not go through these procedures, and even the Shangzong Emperor went by the Nine Emperor Princes themselves. This time you married the princess, saying that it was a stepfamily, but in fact, it was no different from the treatment of the original match. I also hope that after you get married, you can be in harmony with the Nine Emperor Princes, respect each other like guests, and spread the branches and leaves for the Nine Emperor Princes, and extend the heirs. ”
Chang Runzhi bowed his head and said softly: "Xie Guifei Niangniang, the courtiers dare to disobey their orders." ”
The old lady smiled with satisfaction, and said to Chang Run: "The old slave has everything to say, and the Nine Emperor Princesses should hurry up and put on makeup." ”
The ceremonial officials of the Ministry of Rites are to witness the whole process of welcoming each other, and the old lady from the palace will accompany Chang Runzhi from the Hou Mansion to the Prince's Mansion.
Originally, the old lady still had a duty, that is, on the second day of the wedding night, to take the bride's wedding pa.
However, because Chang Runzhi is a second marriage, this link is omitted. The old lady only needed to accompany Chang Runzhi to the Nine Emperors' Mansion, and after listening to the corner, she returned to the palace early the next morning to resume her life.
That's right, the role of the old mother is to supervise whether the newlyweds have a room together, and whether the room is unpleasant.
Chang Runzhi didn't know this, and after the makeup was good, she chatted with the old lady for a few words, and then learned the "bad news".
For a while, she only felt that she was made crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
What is going on in the boudoir of the husband and wife...... Not to mention an irrelevant old mother "watching" on the side, even if the relevant parents and children know, it is also embarrassing, okay!
When the time comes, I have to think of a way to get this old lady away......
Chang Runzhi thought in his heart, but he didn't notice that her face was getting redder and redder.
The dressing lady smiled: "You have a good complexion, you have put on makeup, and your face is like a peach and plum, the Nine Emperor Princes will definitely be fascinated by you today." ”
Chang Runzhi suddenly felt that his face was going to be congested.
Before I knew it, the makeup was finished, and the last item left was to wear a phoenix crown. (To be continued.) )
