Chapter 101: Marriage

On the fifth day of the second month of the fourth year of Qianhua, Jiang Dilian, the daughter of the left minister, came out of the pavilion.

One is the daughter of the left prime minister who leans towards the government and the opposition, and the first beauty who is famous in the capital, Jiang Dilian; One is the grandson of the Xie family of the century-old honorable Rongguo Mansion, and he was also brave and good at fighting young talents, although he is now 'stupid'.

But just by virtue of the identities of the two of them, this family affair is definitely enough to attract everyone's attention.

In fact, not only the capital, but also the branch building where there are diners in the city, everyone knows about this happy event.

All diners are happy to stay at the restaurant for three days to set up flowing water seats, which is quite a bit arrogant to celebrate with the sky.

Although Xie Hengxu has the reputation of being a 'fool', but for such a big thing as marrying, no matter how others look at him and laugh at him, he still has to ride a horse to welcome his relatives in person.

When the sky was still bright, the Xie family's welcoming team played the sheng flute and drum music, Xie Hengxu wore a big red group blessing robe, his figure was very broad, and his expressionless appearance sat on horseback, so that the people who were waiting on both sides of the street early to watch this grand wedding couldn't help but wonder.

This looks like it's not smart, and it doesn't look stupid, right?

How did they know how much perseverance Xie Hengxu had taken to suppress the smile at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.

At this time, in the Xiangfu Begonia Garden, except for the maids who were busy under the courtyard corridor, the boudoir upstairs was quiet and peaceful.

As far as the eye can see, the red word "Xi" is full of eyes, the red tent, the red brocade mattress, and even the butterfly orchid and jasmine that were originally furnished in the corner of the room have been replaced with the red of the cuckoo's blood.

"But don't be nervous, bride, that's how they all came." , Princess Shenghua, who was standing behind her, said softly.

Tilian looked at her from the bronze mirror, but saw that her eyebrows could not hide her sadness, and her eyes were still a little red.

Over the years, in all fairness, Princess Shenghua has fulfilled all the responsibilities of her mother-in-law, and she wants to be close to her like a real mother and daughter, but she has never shown her heart.

"Hmm." , Di Lian responded, looked at her own house with fine makeup in the mirror, and the red bridal dress in the golden silk brocade entwined lotus on her body, and smiled softly and said in a low manner, "The princess doesn't have to worry about me, Zixu is my choice, and I will live well in the future." Fortunately, it's not far away, and I can come back to visit my dad and you on weekdays. ”

Daddy and you? Princess Shenghua was stunned, and the tears in her eyes were about to fall, but these words were the first time that Di Lian vaguely admitted that she was her relative and her elder.

"Madam, on a happy day, you can't cry." , Mama Xun next to her hurriedly spoke.

Princess Shenghua blinked, grinned, and her eyebrows were full of joy, "Look at me, at such an old age, I told Lian'er to see a joke." ”

At this time, there were firecrackers and laughter outside, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Aunt Qingwei knew that it was time to welcome her relatives, so she took the Jiujiu Dongzhu on the table and put the crown on it for Tilian to wear, and shook the golden hairpin while laughing.

"Madame, this is reluctant to miss, but don't worry too much, marry into the Xie family, no one will treat Miss badly." , Princess Shenghua listened to her words and was really heartwarming, as if Tillian was her biological daughter.

smiled for a while, and personally took the golden hairpin to be the phoenix crown of the lotus hairpin, and stroked the golden silk tassel under the lotus golden hairpin, Princess Shenghua sighed and said, "Your father specially instructed, I am afraid that the golden hairpin is too lonely, so I want to add these two tassels, saying that it is better to be smarter." ”

Hearing this, Tilian pursed her lips and smiled, and rolled her eyes indecently, "I only know now that I shouldn't have asked for ninety-nine Dongzhu at the beginning, and my neck was about to be bent, but now my father is still here to make fun." ”

When the three of them heard her say this, they all laughed.

At this moment, Brother Lin'er ran in like a monkey, excitedly holding up a few red envelopes in his little hand, "Auntie, I have so many red envelopes!" There are several big ones! And the little one, my uncle is so nice! ”

Where is this going to be, uncle?

Princess Shenghua glanced at him, stroked her brother's head, and said with a smile, "It's all yours and yours, today is a big day for my aunt to leave the pavilion, you can settle down, go outside and play with Chang An." ”

"For a while, for a while!" , Although Princess Shenghua is from a noble background, except for Jiang Li's daughter-in-law, who was just conceived in the womb, Brother Lin is the only grandson in the house today, and she usually loves her a little more, so Brother Lin is still close to her, and she is not afraid of her at all.

"To my aunt, to my aunt." , Stuffing the red envelope in his arms into Di Lian's arms, Brother Lin frowned and said seriously, "This is the money that Brother Lin gave to my aunt." ”

For such a young child, this rare thought made Tillian's nose sour.

said that he married to the Xie family, but he will no longer be a member of the Jiang family in the future, although he is the grandfather who knows the roots, but from Jiang Luoxiu and Princess Shenghua in the house, down to Jiang Yulin, he is afraid that he will be wronged in his in-law's family.

Princess Shenghua couldn't cry or laugh when she saw this, and hurriedly stuffed the red envelopes back into Brother Lin'er's arms, and said gently, "Brother Lin'er, how can a bride take the red envelope by knocking on the door by herself." While motioning to Mama Xun to take him out, "Auntie's dowry is rich, you, don't make trouble, go and grab a few more red envelopes from Chang An." ”

Seeing Mama Xun go back with Brother Lin, who turned back three times in one step, Aunt Qingwei turned around and persuaded Dilian, "I also persuaded the princess, if Miss wants to cry, this is not the time." ”

"I know." , Tillian choked, then sniffed and slowly retreated the tears.

The married woman is the person of the mother-in-law's family, the filial piety is the father-in-law, and the husband is served.

Fortunately, I am married to the Xie family, it is Xie Hengxu, no one will be restrained by these common rites, and I will often come back to see it in the future, and there will be no difference from before I got married.

Thinking like this, Tillian's mind finally calmed down.

In the end, she was still not at ease, Princess Shenghua whispered to Qinghuo bit by bit, and after a while, Jiang Yi's voice came from outside the door, "Sister, the sedan chair has arrived outside the gate of the mansion, and it is ready to send a kiss." ”

Princess Shenghua hurriedly put the hijab on Dilian, and after the green fence was cleaned up, she invited Jiang Yi to come in and carried Dilian out of the house.

From the moment the bride is picked up by the eldest brother, her feet are not allowed to touch the ground in front of her mother-in-law's house, so as not to let the married girl 'stick away' the blessings and wealth of her mother's family, and second, to avoid the marrying girl from bringing the problems in her mother's house. These are all rituals, and they all have to be done according to the rules.

When she got to the sedan chair, Jiang Yi bent over and sent her into the sedan chair.

In the gap between the swaying hijab, Tilian saw a slender palm with distinct bones lifting the curtain of the sedan chair, and slowly lowering the curtain.

Dan's lips couldn't help but hook shallowly, it was Xie Hengxu.

She sat down, and the sedan chair swayed a few times. This is also a custom, called 'sedan chair', which means that the first rule set by the in-laws for the new daughter-in-law, and the temperament of the new daughter-in-law is leveled, so as not to be a bad temper when she enters the door.

The sedan chair man can take the opportunity to ask for red envelopes, these rewards are naturally thick, and the sedan chair man has a soft hand, so it is only symbolically shaken a few times. It is said that some brides in the past were turned upside down.

With a loud chant, "Get up!" The sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers suddenly rang out noisily.

After picking up the bride, the Jiang family's family send-off team also had to press the dowry and go to the Rongguo Mansion together.

Tillian sighed inexplicably in her heart, she reached out and lifted her hijab, glanced at the red and glamorous sedan chair, her eyes touched a small oiled paper bag on the seat next to her, and gently lifted it with her bare hands, and saw three pieces of bright red and delicate rose cake, and couldn't help laughing.

Xie Hengxu really knew in his heart that the bride was not allowed to eat in the morning on such a day, and it was Xie Hengxu who would ignore the etiquette and be afraid of starving her.

After walking for a while, the sound of gongs and drums gradually subsided, replaced by the noise and noise of people, probably entering the downtown area where onlookers were watching, and there were still many people talking.

"Ouch, look at the dowry!"

"Oh my God, it's the first time I've seen such a big box!"

"Hey, what kind of courtyard is Rong Guogong, although the third master of the Xie family is, but there is such a big industry as diners all over the world, what is this, it is full of eighty-eight boxes on the day of the next appointment."

"Tsk, ouch, Xiangye really loves his daughter and is obsessed, this dowry, to say the least, it will cost a hundred boxes, right?!"

"You don't know this, it's a dowry! As early as before, the reward in the palace was down, and the three pure gold boxes in front of me were not seen, given by the emperor, rewarded by the queen mother, rewarded by the queen mother, this dignity alone, I can't find the second one in the capital! ”

"Really?"

"It's still the third master of the Xie family who has a good life, you said that Zuo Xiang's daughter, hey, it's really a person with deep friendship."

As the sound of gongs and drums suddenly rose, the shouting and discussion of the people gradually became inaudible.

Di Lian was thoughtful, when Queen Su married into the East Palace, the dowry was only one hundred and thirty units, and her father had prepared more, but in order not to exceed the rules, the dowry was reduced and reduced, and these one hundred and twenty units were carefully selected, and now these three are given in the palace.

This guard of honor is indeed a little too ostentatious.

She didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't know how long it was, a high-pitched and loud voice sounded outside, "Get off the sedan chair!" Then there was a series of 'crackling' firecrackers, and after a moment of noisy noise, it finally quieted down.

Tillian was shocked to come back to her senses, and quickly crumpled the oil paper that was originally wrapped in the pastry in her hand into her sleeve pocket, and quickly covered her head.

At this moment, I heard the master of ceremonies singing and shouting, "Shoot the wolf!" ”

Immediately there was a muffled "bang", and something hit the curtain of the wedding sedan chair, which should be Xie Hengxu who shot the happy arrow wrapped in red cloth at the end.

Tillian couldn't help but be a little worried, he was afraid that his expression like this today would arouse suspicion.

"Two-shot goblin!"

"Three shots of red!"

This is the completion of the sedan chair, the master of ceremonies sang and drank again, and the singing and drinking stopped for a moment, Tillian saw the light suddenly brighten from the gap under the hijab, a slender and rough man's hand stretched out, his heart was hot, and his hand was raised and put on it, and the overlapping hands were instantly protected, and the familiar touch was Xie Hengxu.
