Section 340 Wedding
On the night of the ninth lunar month, Gu Jinzhi couldn't sleep.
I had mixed feelings in my heart, and I actually gave birth to a little timidity.
Lying in bed, tossing and turning, difficult to sleep.
She watched as the time came, and then the ugly time. Waiting for the bell to ring, Gu Jinzhi got up.
On the small kang near the window in the back room, I fell asleep and wished my mother and Ni Shang.
Gu Jinzhi lightly got out of bed.
A dim light, a faint shadow. The light shadow shines on the lines of the embroidered curtain, like wisps of love.
Although Gu Jinzhi's movements were light, he woke up Zhu's mother in the end.
I wish my mother to shout up.
The maids and ladies who filled the courtyard all got up at the beginning of Yin and cleaned the courtyard.
The personal maids served Gu Jin's bath.
Gu Jinzhi, who was wearing a middle coat, wore her thick hair, sat on an embroidery stool, waiting for the female officials in the palace to dress her up.
Mother Zhu was afraid of Gu Jinzhi's coldness, so she took a soft cloak dyed with smoke-colored silver thread from the lake to Gu Jinzhi.
Gu Jinzhi got up and put it on.
"Girl, you sit ......" Ni Shang asked Gu Jinzhi to sit on the embroidery stool and called several big girls to the house.
Zhu Mom is also on the side.
She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were wet, and she corrected Nishang's words: "Don't call me a girl in the future, you have to change your name to the princess......"
Several maids all knelt down and called out to the princess.
Gu Jinzhi asked them to get up.
"Princess, today, we will follow everyone to Luzhou. When you come back to the door three times, we can't kowtow to you. Zhu Mom said, "Kowtow to you first." When we arrive in Luzhou, we will serve you and the prince again. ”
They all left today. Go to Luzhou.
A few days ago, when the dowry was given, some of the companions had already followed.
The few big girls that Gu Jinzhi was used to didn't leave.
"Get up. Get up. Gu Jinzhi said, "It's just a few months." Later, I went to Luzhou. We're still a ......."
I wish my mother a few ways.
But in the end, they were reluctant, and several people were teary-eyed.
Then, the little maids and mothers-in-law in the room all came in to kowtow to Gu Jinzhi and saluted.
After the salute, the crowd dispersed. When you arrive at Chenzheng, the palace will send a female official.
Gu Jinzhi's dress is the responsibility of the female officials in the palace, and these subordinates have to avoid it. Make room for the people in the palace.
Gu Jinzhi accepted everyone's courtesy.
Zhilei brought her morning meal.
Gu Jinzhi ate the meal, put on a gown, and got up and went to his mother's side to say goodbye.
Parents are waiting.
My brother Gu Xiuzhi also rushed to the house from Songshan Academy yesterday.
Brother Xuan and Brother Xiu stood together.
The tenth and eleventh brothers, who were three years old, also stood aside, well-behaved and obedient.
Gu Jinzhi's tears suddenly rolled down like a waterfall.
As usual, she had to say goodbye to her parents.
As soon as she cried like this, Song Paner couldn't help it.
Gu Yanzhen was even more embarrassed.
"Don't cry, don't cry." Song Paner herself was in tears. also advised Gu Jinzhi, "On a happy day, be happy." ”
But the voice is very sad.
After Gu Jinzhi's wedding. and shall dwell in the palace for three months.
Three months later, she will follow Zhu Zhongjun to the palace in Luzhou. Unless she's pregnant, she can't bump.
So go. The meeting is even more distant.
"My son." The more Song Paner thought about it, the more she felt that sorrow came from her heart. "If you go like this, you will have to rely on yourself in the future, and my mother can't take care of you."
Gu Jinzhi cried and fell into his mother's arms.
Brother Xuan also cried, and stepped forward to hug Gu Jinzhi's waist tightly.
Brother Xiu didn't have such deep feelings for Gu Jinzhi, but everyone cried, and his indifference seemed very affectionate, so he tried to squeeze out a few tears.
At the beginning of Chen, Mother Song and Haitang reminded that the female officials in the palace who dressed for Gu Jinzhi were about to arrive.
Everyone wiped away their tears.
The Gu family re-set up the curtain at the gate early in the morning, and the chief and deputy envoys and female officials who greeted the wedding set up an incense case in the middle hall.
At the beginning of Chen, the female official Cheng Aunt took more than 30 palace maids and several eunuchs to the Gu family.
Gu Jiali greeted each other with firecrackers.
Song Paner saluted Aunt Cheng in front of the incense case.
Aunt Cheng also returned the gift.
The eunuch read out the decree to the effect that Aunt Cheng was appointed as the official of today's ceremony.
After Aunt Cheng received the order, Song Paner personally invited her to Gu Jinzhi's courtyard.
Gu Jinzhi's crown dress had already been delivered to the Gu family in the gift book, and it was being placed on the big kang in the back room at the moment.
Aunt Cheng brought people in, and the maids of the Gu family all withdrew.

On the tenth day of the ninth month, Zhu Zhongjun needs to do four things: get up in the morning, go to the Taihe Hall first, and accept the emperor's blessings and admonitions, which is called "Jiao Ring". Gu Jinzhi also needs to be "precepted", admonished by her parents.
The second thing is to welcome Gu Jinzhi in person.
The third piece, taking Gu Jinzhi, went to Fengtian Temple to worship the ancestors and ancestors, which is called "temple meeting".
In the end, it is to drink the wine, and the wedding is completed.
Cumbersome wedding procedures, every step of the way can not be wrong.
Early in the morning, the internal officials gave the prince a crown and served Zhu Zhongjun to put it on.
The prince's robe and tiara are custom-made in colors and patterns.
Like these crown clothes, except for sacrifices and weddings, they are rarely worn, which is very troublesome.
Zhu Zhongjun was patient and let the internal officials help him dress.
The internal officials first dressed Zhu Zhongjun in a plain gauze shirt embroidered with black patterns on the neckline, and then the outer garment, wearing five chapters of green clothes on the top, four chapters of silk clothes on the bottom, and four chapters of knees covering; After the clothes are worn, a big belt is tied, and two groups of jade pendants are hung on the big belt, and the jade pendant is painted with a golden cloud dragon pattern, and a four-colored small Sui is attached to the wear; and hung the four-colored Sui. Wear bareshoe on your feet.
After the clothes and accessories were neatly dressed, the internal officials put a multicolored jade bead crown on Zhu Zhongjun's head.
Dressed neatly, the ceremony opened, Zhu Zhongjun went to the middle palace first and saluted the queen mother.
Then, he went to the Taihe Hall and accepted the emperor's "Jiao ring".
Gu Jinzhi is at home, and she also has to accept the precepts of her parents and warn her to be filial to her mother-in-law. Considerate husband, etc.
The emperor's admonition to the prince is also similar: after marriage. Parents on the job, inheritance and so on.
All the way to the beginning. The Jiao ring is completed.
Outside the emperor's Chengtian Gate, there is the prince's elephant chariot, which is Zhu Zhongjun's car to marry Gu Jinzhi.
The elephant chariot is a kind of cart, like a simple house, drawn by eight horses.
The ordinary bridegroom welcomes the bride on horseback, but the prince rides on an elephant......
The guard of honor opened, and Zhu Zhongjun came out of the main gate of the gate at noon and arrived at the Chengtian Gate. took the elephant chariot, crossed the imperial bridge, and arrived at the door of Gu Jin's house.
With the deafening sound of firecrackers, Zhu Zhongjun sat in the elephant's chariot, thinking about what Gu Jinzhi looked like now, and his heart seemed to be blooming.
He couldn't help but laugh, his eyes crooked.
From coming here, I met Gu Jinzhi, and I have come to this day. Although there were no strong winds and waves, there were also bumps and stumbles.
He is going to marry Gu Jinzhi again......
With this good mood, Zhu Zhongjun got out of the car in front of the curtain in front of Gu Jin's house.
The officiant and the chief and deputy envoys hurriedly came out to greet Zhu Zhongjun and saluted Zhu Zhongjun four times.
Then. The officiant walked behind the prince and sent the prince to the middle hall of the Gu family.
In the middle hall of the Gu family, there is an incense table.
Concubine Song Pan'er stood on the right side of the incense case. The officiant is on the left side of the incense case.
Zhu Zhongjun offered silk to the incense case.
The drum music started again, and the internal official led the concubine Gu Jinzhi to the middle hall.
Gu Jinzhi wears a crown of nine phoenixes and four phoenixes. Wearing a green silk embroidered Zhai clothes, green yarn embroidered to cover the knees. The big belt is tied with a pair of five-color thread cotton sui, and there is a jade ring with a blue and red Luo Cai knot; He also wore a white jade hook and a phoenix pendant, and wore green silk shoes on his feet, which were decorated with six pearls.
Her face was smeared with bright red rouge, adding to the charm.
Zhu Zhongjun couldn't take his eyes back.
Her serene expression, quietly lowering her eyes, coincided with her in a snow-colored wedding dress in her previous life.
Zhu Zhongjun's heart boiled.
The princess entered the central hall and stood under the concubine's mother.
The officiant of the marriage prostrated eight times.
Then, Zhu Zhongjun led Gu Jinzhi out of Gu's house.
Song Pan'er watched Gu Jinzhi turn around and step over the threshold of the middle hall, and the tears swirling in her eyes fell in a stream.
She hid her face and wiped away her tears.
Gu Jinzhi's phoenix sedan chair stopped at the middle gate.
The internal officials knelt down and listened to the prince unveil the curtain.
Zhu Zhongjun opened the sedan curtain.
Gu Jinzhi entered the phoenix sedan chair.
The phoenix sedan chair went straight to the gate, and Zhu Zhongjun entered the elephant chariot.
The elephant chariot rose, the phoenix sedan chair followed, and the earth-shattering firecracker salute music played in unison, leaving the gate of the Gu family and slowly heading towards the palace.
The two cars are a bit far away.
Zhu Zhongjun's elephant chariot arrived at Chengtianmen first.
He went first, entered the inner palace, and arrived at the Fengtian Temple.
Fengtian Temple held a "temple meeting" to worship the ancestors.
Then, Gu Jinzhi's phoenix sedan chair also arrived at Chengtianmen. The phoenix sedan chair descended, the internal official opened the curtain, Gu Jinzhi walked into the palace and arrived at the noon gate.
At noon, the sedan chair was re-ascended and arrived at the Fengtian Temple.
The Fengtian Temple has already been furnished with animals to congratulate the silk.
The internal officials guided Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun and performed the "temple meeting" ceremony.
When they arrived here, Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi were a little tired.
It was also mid-afternoon.
Now all that remains is the Harmony Ceremony.
The ceremony was held at the Xilan Hall.
Xilan Hall ascended to the throne and concubine throne.
Aunt Cheng asked Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun to bow first.
The two of them bowed twice before they sat down.
The next conjunctive ceremony is similar to the conjunctive ceremony of ordinary people outside.
Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun drank the wine, used the food, fulfilled the gift, and entered the cave room.
The final ceremony was completed, and it was already dark.
The officials withdrew, and the inner sanctum, lit with candles, was as bright as day.
So the etiquette was completed, and the little palace maid came to change the clothes for Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi.
"Tired?" Zhu Zhongjun asked Gu Jinzhi quietly.
Gu Jinzhi replied in a low voice: "It's okay." Are you tired? ”
Zhu Zhongjun smiled and said: "Don't be tired, people are in good spirits when they are happy." ”
Gu Jinzhi didn't answer again.
The little palace maid took off her heavy crown dress for her, and Gu Jinzhi only felt that she had retreated from a pair of armor, and she was less than a thousand pounds, and she was a lot more comfortable.
When she looked up, she saw two grandmothers standing in front of her, looking at them with a smile.
Gu Jinzhi didn't know why, and glanced at Zhu Zhongjun.
Zhu Zhongjun didn't know what the rules were.
The two of them were wearing middle clothes, and the little palace maids fetched water for the two of them to clean their faces and hands.
After taking a bath, the two grandmothers are still there.
And the little palace maids all retreated to the door.
Gu Jinzhi glanced at Zhu Zhongjun.
Zhu Zhongjun shook his head.
"Please sleep peacefully with the prince and princess." The grandmothers knelt down and saluted Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun again, "Slaves and maids serve the princess and princess......"
Gu Jinzhi vaguely understood something in his heart......
These two grandmothers, do you want to watch their cave room?
Gu Jinzhi glanced at Zhu Zhongjun again.
Zhu Zhongjun had to ask directly: "Which palace are the two grandmothers from?" ”
"The slaves and maids are all from Kunning Palace." A grandmother replied, "The two slaves and maids serve the princess and princess Luopa......"
Zhu Zhongjun glanced at Yuanpa on the happy bed, and also understood, and immediately became angry.
