Chapter 45: The Royal Wedding Begins
After Huo Quai's illness soaked in the hot springs, he drank some wine and ate some meat before he warmed up. changed his clothes and ran to the apse, only to know that Wei Qing had returned to Chang'an early in the morning, and he was going to get married in a few days, so the groom couldn't be busy from now on. Huo Quai's illness only then knew that Xue Qing hadn't eaten breakfast, so he also went.
In two days, the emperor and empress will also return to the palace. I still have to attend such a big event. Huo Qu was sick and depressed, and after thinking about it, he drove back to Chang'an. Even if you have an awkward relationship with Xueqing, you still have to attend your aunt's wedding.
Xue Qing followed Wei Qing back to Chang'an. I went straight to the princess's mansion. Entering the gate, the porter was quite respectful, and he was familiar with the road: "The general came so early, the weather is cold, the princess is tired, and she hasn't gotten up yet." ”
Wei Qing dismounted, handed the reins to his subordinates and said, "It's okay, let's get some early." ”
Walking in with Xue Qing, the corridor and courtyard are twists and turns, Xue Qing doesn't remember at all, I heard that she lived here before.
When he arrived at the princess's dormitory, he waved away from the maid guards by the door. Push the door open and go in. The princess still has charm, and she is about to be in her thirties. I washed it and changed clothes. Seeing the general push the door in, he also retreated and asked, "The general is here so early, yo, Ah Xue is also here, let the palace take a look, I haven't seen you for a while." ”
Xue Qing stepped forward and shouted awkwardly, "Mother." ……”
The princess suddenly petrified: "Snow, snow you know?" …… How did she know......"
Wei Qing put on the princess's robe and said, "I sued her, I can't hide this, and I don't need to hide it." ”
The princess wondered, "What do you mean?" ”
Xue Qing said with a smile: "The emperor has already given marriage, and my father and mother will get married soon." ”
The princess was overjoyed: "Really? You finally spoke to the Emperor? He agreed? ”
Can you still not agree? Raw rice is cooked rice, what can I do if I don't agree? The princess hugged Xue Qing, and the corners of her eyes moistened: "My snow, my mother has not dared to recognize you for more than ten years, but it has hurt my child." "I feel sorry for the pear blossoms with the rain, but what's the matter with you wiping a lot of snot and tears on the old lady's face.
Seeing the princess crying pitifully, thinking of the bitterness of these years, this is finally a positive result, so she also hugged the two mothers and sons, originally wanted to comfort and comfort, persuaded the princess not to cry, persuaded and persuaded, and cried with herself.
was hugged by these two people and cried for a long time, and this feeling was enough.
I cried for a long time, and the maids who brought food outside were embarrassed to come in. After a while, the princess asked, "Does the emperor know that Xue Qing is our daughter?" ”
Wei Qing wiped away her tears and said, "My sister told the emperor. ”
The princess said: "Well, when the wedding is over, let's go on a special trip, one is to thank the emperor for the marriage, the second is to return to the door, and the third is to mention Xueqing's identity by the way, since we are married, Xueqing is from this palace, that is the lord of the Han Dynasty, you have to notify Zongzheng and write it into the clan register"
Xue Qing smiled, and accidentally became the lord of the big man, this thing is equivalent to the county lord, but it is not as good as the county lord.
When the maid saw that the few people finally stopped crying, she delivered the meal. The princess hurriedly filled a bowl for Xue Qing, and then fed her to her mouth, looked at Xue Qing who was drinking porridge and said, "Since you are back, you will stay for a few more days, so that you can be close to your mother." Did you choose the day? ”
Wei Qing took a bowl of porridge and handed it to the princess and said, "There is a Qin Tianjian in Ganquan Palace, and they say that five days later will be a good day and an auspicious day. ”
Five days is relatively tight, which family in the future must not plan for a few months to get married, this princess may have been married twice, she has experience, and she doesn't care, five days is five days.
After eating, the entire princess's mansion began to get busy. A full cleaning started inside and out, and spotlessness was the minimum standard. Utensils everywhere, from the antechamber to the backyard. On the go.
The Shaofu has already begun to operate, first allocated a thousand forbidden troops, respectively responsible for the security work of the princess's mansion and the shogunate's shogunate, and also allocated a large number of palace maids and eunuchs, and transferred a large amount of gold from the treasury. All kinds of lacquerware, this thing is quite valuable, lacquer boxes, wine jugs, plates, wine cups, everything. Thousands of silk and satin were transferred. Xue Qing looked at the eunuch holding the cloth who came in, and was speechless, talking about so much cloth, how many clothes do you have to make, just get married, and not open a garment factory.
Fine wine, pigs, cattle, sheep and dogs, all kinds of fruits, this is a little less, after all, in winter, fresh fruits are not easy to find. Even the five baht money used to reward the subordinates has pulled a few carts, at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This Han Dynasty person is really rich, and the civil servants of later generations are weak, such as Huo Quai, just talking about his food, that is, 480,000 baht. What is the concept? The houses in Chang'an are at least forty-eight ordinary small courtyards. If this is put in the next generation, how scary it will be, in addition to the food and the city, people also have a fortune, the rank of general, how can it be more than 2,000 stones.
A civil servant Emperor Wu is willing to give so much salary, let alone his sister's marriage.
Don't forget, this time it was the princess who married the shogun, and in the end, she was going to receive the shogunate, and the wedding was to be held there. So the layout of this princess's mansion is just a supporting role.
Later, I learned that it was Huo Qubing who was busy with a group of people on the shogunate's side. It's okay, I'm too lazy to meet. Anyway, why is it always so embarrassing to break up. Can't you be friends? Uh, is this thing a breakup, have you ever held hands? Probably yes.
In fact, the shogunate is not only where the shogun lives, but also where he works, just like the prime minister's office.
To do this, there is a privilege to be an official, that is, to open a government and build a government. Establish your own government, establish a system, and appoint officials. There is considerable autonomy. The Prime Minister's Mansion is basically equivalent to ******. Jiuqing and officials at all levels usually go there to ask for instructions when they have something, and there are only a few things that can alarm the emperor after all.
The shogunate was equivalent to the military council, and many generals and lieutenants under the shogun's command were in the shogunate's office and were assigned by the shogun. This marriage exploded in Chang'an City at that time.
It's in full swing, after all, it's only five days. Xue Qing is still a spectator, after all, she has never seen this Han Dynasty wedding, even if it is a wedding in later generations, she has never planned it, and suddenly became a staff member, not just pretending to point fingers on the side, standing at the door every day and shouting: "This way, hurry up, hurry up, be careful" is over.
