Ten days before the wedding, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a mama to guide the etiquette rules and taboos of the wedding. And all the dowry dowries were all ready, and the day before the wedding, Qi Shifu went to the Beizi Mansion assigned to the ninth elder brother to send the dowry, attracting many onlookers along the way.
The first to be carried is the dowry book. The big red silk was tied very joyfully. This is followed by twelve new tiles, symbolizing twelve rooms, which are the number of houses in Zhuangzi.

When all the things were delivered to Beizi Mansion and laid out one by one in the front yard for people to enjoy, everyone was amazed. Especially the lifting bed. It is not a common style in the capital, and at the same time, it is not bulky at all, but it also has a different kind of elegance and wealth. Some people estimate that the carving and materials cannot be purchased without three or four thousand taels in the capital.
Stuff was laid out for a long time. and he will be put into the house. The furniture was all moved into the main house, which was originally built to size and was placed in a short time. Shu Shujue Luo helped with makeup, and it was quickly done.
On the eve of the wedding, Hajlan talked to his parents and family for several hours, and at night Nalan slept in a bed with her, telling her that Qi Shi had done the work of the ninth elder brother that day, and agreed to wait for Hajlan to be older before having a round house. As he listened, Hajran thought that Ama was so powerful!
The next day, when it was still dark, Hajlan was called to wash his body and face, and after eating early, he began to put on his makeup. Fujin's dress is extremely heavy, and the top is a four-clawed python pattern embroidered with gold wire, and after wearing it, it is a little inconvenient to move. She was put in a bun, then restrained her hair with sumptuous gold, and put on a ceremonial crown. There are six eastern pearls on this crown, and the most amazing thing is the two layers of golden wisps on the top hat, which are extremely thin and delicate. However, although the things are beautiful, they are not comfortable to wear on the body, and she is put on a collar, a collar, and a pearl...... She couldn't help sighing: It's not easy for the bride of the Qing Dynasty to be a bride, no wonder you have to let people carry it away, it's good that she can move like this.
Fortunately, the prince's marriage is customized, which is less than the average wedding, but the etiquette is more than enough.
The people who greeted the relatives soon came to the outside of the Qi Shi Mansion, and several officials entered the mansion with honor guards, and the sedan chair stopped in the middle hall. Several grandmothers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs entered the inner courtyard and confirmed that the bride Hajlan was in order, and signaled that the auspicious time was coming.
Nalan took Hajlan's hand, looked at the extraordinarily bright face and was speechless for a long time, and said for a long time: "To be a royal daughter-in-law, you must be strict with yourself in the facts, and live a good life with Brother Jiu." ”
Hajlan's heart was sour, recalling the family affection he had received from Ama Eniang's brother and sister since he crossed over, he couldn't help but burst into tears, took Nalan's hand and said, "Eniang, I will often come back to see you in the future......" and was speechless, and the mother and daughter hugged and cried.
Shu Shujue Luo rubbed his eyes, Qi Shi and Erluli listened, they were very reluctant, but after all, it was a big day, it was not good to come out, and when they heard the urging of the grandmothers, they persuaded Nalan and Hajilan. Suddenly, Xianning also rushed up to hug his sister and cried, so frightened that Xiao Liu hurriedly pulled him away, so that he could talk for a long time.
Nalan collected his tears, and helped Hajilan rearrange his makeup, and then said, "In the future...... Take good care, E-Niang will always be your E-Niang. Hajlan nodded, and asked Shu Shujue Luo to help cover the hijab, and she and the grandmothers of the Internal Affairs Office helped her out of the house. Eruri carried the sedan chair on his back, and soon he heard the sound of gongs and drums, and the grandmother shouted "Shengyu", and Hajlan felt that the sedan chair was lifted. The welcoming team set off for home. Qi Shi has been sent to the second gate, and Erluli is holding a sedan chair to get married.
The guard of honor walked slowly for an hour, and then arrived. The sedan chair entered the house from the middle gate and came to the front yard hall. Brother Jiu has been waiting here for a long time.
Hajlan was carried out of the sedan chair, passed the carved saddle, brazier, stepped on the red felt step by step into the main hall, as a carved saddle, and after someone took away the bottle in her hand, she looked aside from under the hijab, and vaguely saw a pair of boots, which is estimated to be the ninth elder brother.
In the main hall, Brother Jiu and Hajlan bowed, and they were sent to the wedding room together, don't get me wrong, at this time the sun is still high in the sky, and it is still early from the cave room. A red silk led and walked in slowly. The grandmothers sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been there all the time, tailing, and reminding them carefully that there is a threshold here, and it is time to turn there. At last they said what Hajran wanted to hear: "It's time to get in, hold your feet high." ”
