Chapter 223: Li Rui Marries (I)
Li Rui got up before the end of the day.
Today is the most important day of his life.
From now on, he will have a real home without a father or mother.
He would have children with his wife, start a new family, and form a new family.
Even if his wife is not beautiful or has a strong figure, as long as he treats him with care, the husband and wife can still be beautiful for a lifetime. Think about the Lu lady in the family, isn't she also living well with the head of the family?
His new house was bought by the relationship of Boss Chen. This mansion is also in the inner city, not far from the Xinguo Mansion, and was originally the residence of a royal clansman who retired in the capital, but his sons were in fiefdoms. Later, the old clan died, and the sons did not want to go to Beijing to live under the emperor's nose, so they dragged people to sell the house.
Later, please ask Chen Siqing, he thought that Li Zhao's brother would open a mansion alone in the future, this house is quite exquisite, the size is also appropriate, and it is in the inner city, so he took this matter down.
Because it was about his cousin's future residence, Li Zhao was also very sad about this house, and came to see him many times, and even invited Zhang Xuan to see feng shui when he came to Beijing to worship his grandmother.
Later, this house was bought by Li Rui at a high price, renovated again, and hung a plaque of "Li Mansion". Because the house is in the west of the Shinkoku Mansion, it is called "West Side Mansion" by the families of the Shinkoku Mansion.
Li Rui got the silver, calligraphy and paintings that Lao Guogong had accumulated for most of his life, as well as the inheritance left by his parents. He believed in Li Zhao's ability, borrowed a lot of money for Li Zhao to toss, and made a lot of money over the years, plus half of the shops left to him by his grandmother, in terms of net worth alone, he was richer than his uncle Zhang Ning Mansion in his heyday.
Li Rui's mother's dowry was purchased according to the specifications of the county lord of the Yin Dynasty, and when she was hired by the Jin State Mansion, she moved it all away, and the Jin State Mansion knew that this was Li Rui's mother's dowry, and then brought it back as Zhang Suyi's dowry. Although these are all Zhang Suyi's private money, the husband and wife are one, so the young couple don't have to live the life of a "poor couple".
Otherwise, with Li Rui's less than 30 taels a month, he can't even afford to support his family.
The so-called spring breeze is proud, Li Rui was also pulled up by his aunt this morning to dress up. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't need to dye his eyebrows because of his thick eyebrows, I am afraid that his aunt Fang would not even let go of his face.
Li Rui's figure is already tall, and at this time, he is wearing a crown on his head and a silk robe, and he is even more jade, indescribably handsome and chic. Early in the morning, several brothers of the Li family were waiting in front of the family temple. Women are not allowed to enter the family temple, Li Mao is on the front line again, Li Rui opened the temple door by himself, went in to worship his grandfather, grandmother, parents and ancestors, told him that he was going to get married today, and sacrificed.
Li Jun and Li Zhao were full of emotion, and Li Ming was even more envious.
He is fifteen this year, and Sun Jiayan is only thirteen, and he will have to wait another two years before he can get married.
After worshipping his ancestors, Li Rui was the eldest son of the Li family who officially divided the house and established the mansion, and he was sad and happy in his heart, and finally turned into three glasses of water and wine at the ceremony, and swallowed them all.
"Brother Rui, go back to the house and prepare to welcome the bride. I don't know how long it will be. ”
Li Jun made a private decision for life, and his sweetheart was a man, and he was almost killed by his father. Fortunately, Douling's clan made a great contribution that year, first reported to Fenzhou for alert, and then dragged the thieves who intended to go south from the Fenzhou grassland to the capital, which was the big media of Lord Zuo Shaoqing, which was half forced and half matched to make his parents agree to the marriage.
To this day, his father still mutters all day long, always feeling that his concubine has been "reconciled".
His official position is not high, the wedding was still held in Fenzhou's Dutingyi, Douling's seven brothers plus the fellow Qianren who came to congratulate him, almost didn't lift the roof of their Dutingyi, at that time his father and grandmother's faces were ugly for a few days, and even he himself couldn't bear it.
If he hadn't drunk too much, he would have died in the hall that day.
Li Zhao and Li Ming didn't know how terrible it was on the day of their marriage, so they blinked their eyes and asked his eldest brother.
"Isn't it just to greet your relatives? Why do you say toss? ”
"Hmph, you haven't seen anything powerful." Li Jun has been an official for five years, and has also participated in several weddings invited by local squire officials in Fenzhou, and the groom has been beaten and cried. There are also three hypnotic poems prepared, but the bride's family insisted on making ten, and she couldn't get off the stage in the local area.
What kind of family is the Jin Mansion? The aunts, aunts, aunts and sisters who pulled out may have hundreds of people, and if one person makes it difficult for a while, some Li Rui will suffer!
Li Rui's scalp was also numb. When Xiong Pingcheng married the girl of the Liu family, he happened to be filial piety, and accompanied him to meet his relatives, and he can't forget that battle until now.
Who stipulates that all the way to "kill the stick"?
Isn't that a toss for people?
The brothers of the Li family rode back to the Li Mansion in the west, and as soon as the doorman at the door saw that the master was back, he immediately lit the master on the side of the road and threw it in the brazier and burned it.
With the crackling sound of firecrackers, Li Rui entered the front hall, and his "best man group" immediately rushed up, gearing up, ready to go out together.
When welcoming the bride, there are usually many boudoir ladies in the room to accompany the bride, and there are even relatives of the bride who are out to make things difficult for the groomsmen. The best men are all unmarried men, and most of the female relatives who can accompany them in the backyard are unmarried ladies.
Li Rui is a popular person around the prince, and the people he makes friends with are either the children of the high-ranking families of the world, or his best man after the nobles and powerful ministers, and he is naturally the candidate for "East Bed Fast Son-in-law" in the minds of many people.
And the handkerchief of the female relatives or brides of the Jin State Mansion will definitely not be a small family.
Li Rui waited for Mr. Leakage to calculate the time, and when Mr. Leakage said, "The auspicious time has arrived", Li Rui immediately said goodbye to the Fang family who was sitting in the back hall, and took a group of groomsmen out of the house.
At this time, Li Mei ran up with her little short legs, grabbed Li Ming's thigh, Li Ming thought that her sister was going to follow her horse, and was about to pick her up with a smile, but her sister shook her head and stretched out her hand to point at Zhang Xuan.
"Oh, I used to say that in addition to the eldest brother, my brother is the most handsome, as soon as this Daoist Zhang comes, I don't want my brother immediately......" Li Ming shook his head sadly, "Daochang Zhang is a master in the world, you better follow me." ”
With the shoes he was wearing, would he wrestle when he picked up his sister!
He wasn't at all at ease.
Li Mei came to inform his brother, not to discuss, and after unilaterally communicating with his brother, he immediately ran back to Zhang Xuan's side and stretched out his hand to hug him.
Zhang Xuan shook his head, picked up Li Mei, put him on his horse, turned over on the horse, and sat behind her.
Although Li Mei is young, she also has a little mare who can ride horses. Sitting on the horse without shouting or making trouble, I also know that I can adjust my position to make myself more comfortable.
The Li family's honor guard went first, then the team of gongs and drums and joyful music, and then the groom official Li Rui who rode on the white horse, and the groomsmen with an extremely luxurious lineup behind.
Zhang Xuan was in the middle of the line, and behind him was the eight-lift sedan chair that was ready to pick up the bride.
Zhang Xuan rode all the way and suddenly thought of a very serious problem.
"Dear, where is Tianjun now?"
Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! It couldn't be that he was riding a horse, but Tianjun was following on foot, right?
"Ah...... Grandma couldn't ride a horse and ran to the back. Li Mei pointed to the sedan chair behind him.
Zhang Xuan looked back in disbelief.
There is only one thing that can sit here, except for the horses......
No way?!
Gu Qing was also ready to follow the back of the sedan chair at first, but she didn't know what Lu Dao was doing, and she would feel tired if she was a Piao, and she couldn't walk anymore when she walked.
She couldn't climb up the high-headed horse, so she asked Zhang Xuan to take her, but she didn't have that face, and after thinking about it, she simply relied on others not to see her, and climbed into the bride's sedan chair behind.
However, Gu Qing himself was a little embarrassed, and did not sit on the seat of the sedan chair, but sat on the floor of the car. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't know if she weighed now, she actually wanted to sit in the box with copper coins in the back of the most luke.
As soon as Li Rui's wedding team arrived at the door, there were already bride relatives on the side of the road who came to "son-in-law" with straw and sticks wrapped in red silk.
Li Rui just stared at it, and almost didn't fall off the horse.
Why do other people's families come to "son-in-law" are all female elders or children of young sons and nephews, and the Zhang family sent out a large group of men with big shoulders and round waists?
When I looked closely, my brother-in-law, who was already standing closely, was standing at the front of the line, baring his teeth at him.
Want to marry my sister so easily?
Let's take a beating first!
"Damn, that's too ruthless!" Qiu Mu was the shortest, and his physique was thin, and his legs were weak when he saw this battle. Qi Shao's face was also ugly.
The groom's servant is supposed to "ward off disaster" for the groom......
But so many sticks......
He's just a civil servant, he really can't stop it!
"The new aunt is on the road! Let's go! ”
I already saw that his handsome face was not pleasing to the eye!
"Oh live!"
Playing around!
"Beat him!"
I actually married my cousin and beat him up!
"Go!"
Oops, he glared at me, I'm so scared, you guys go first!
Sun Yanni's two elder brothers immediately stepped forward, blocking the sticks that rained down on the left and right, Li Rui took out the caution when competing with the palace guards, and beware of the crown on his head accidentally falling to the ground, while carefully avoiding it, he grabbed the stick and pulled it to the side without moving.
He has great strength, and once he holds someone else's stick, that person will definitely not be able to pull it back, but he will snatch it up. Qi Shao and seven or eight servants rushed up, pushed Li Rui forward, and rushed to the gate of the Jin State Mansion after a while.
Gu Qing followed behind Li Rui with a smile, watching him hide left and right, and was pushed into the door by a bunch of people.
This time, she can see an authentic ancient wedding, and it is not in vain that she comes back once.
Li Mei was hugged by Zhang Xuan and followed Li Rui closely.
Since Zhang Xuan knew that the clothes he was wearing were wrong, he immediately took off the white robe outside, but the shoes were not, and now he stood with Li Mei in his arms for a while, and felt that his feet were a little tired.
Li Mei was keenly aware of it, patted Zhang Xuan, and motioned for him to let her down, and she would leave by herself.
In front of the gate, Zhang Suyi's other brother and a few peers blocked the door, asking Li Rui to make a makeup poem. The hypnotic poem urges the bride who is preparing to dress up and go out quickly, and only when the bride is satisfied with the groom's poem will she say goodbye to her parents and go out.
Li Rui is not good at writing poems, but behind him is Qi Shao, the champion of the gold list, who memorized more than a dozen poems in one breath before he came, and recited them dozens of times last night.
"The daughter of the Zhang family in Jinyang, married into the family of the princess. The loving mother adjusted the powder, and said that Qing should not forget the flowers.
Urge the shop of the hundred sub-tents, and wait for the obstacle of the seven-incense car. By asking if the makeup is not done, the East wants to Xiaoxia. ”
"Good! One more song! ”
"Even if it's the prince's family, why do you have to have seven or eight songs!"
Qi Shao smiled proudly behind Li Rui.
'I knew that you wouldn't let Li Rui go easily, master, I made fifty hypnotic poems half a month ago. Even seventeen or eighteen brothers are married, which is enough. ’
Sure enough, Li Rui memorized fourteen or fifteen hypnotic poems, and the Zhang family, who had done good things, blocked the door and said at once, "The bride is still wiping her face", and suddenly said, "The bride is still powdering", forcing Li Rui to come out one after another.
Li Rui secretly said in his heart that it was dangerous, and quietly arched his hand to Qi Shao to thank him, Qi Shao smiled slightly and waved his hand.
It's so terrible to get married, that's why he can't even get married.
But I'm afraid it won't last a few years. His second brother is also older.
Inside the bridal room.
Zhang Suyi has not yet gone out, but her makeup has been completed, and she is now sitting in a chair, listening to the instructions of her mother and great-grandmother.
Her grandmother died young, and her grandfather never continued the strings, and now the eldest person in the Jin State Mansion is this old lady who is over eighty years old.
The old lady of the Zhang family is too old, deaf and dizzy, and people are a little confused, since a few years ago, even the queen in the palace has stopped going to the big court meeting.
But when her great-granddaughter gets married, she still has to come to warn her.
"Li Rui's father Li Meng is your grandfather's disciple, his family is very loyal, Li Meng has been smart since he was a child, and Li Rui will not be stupid if he wants to come. Since you are the daughter of the Zhang family, you must always remember not to fall into the reputation of the Zhang family. The old lady said a few words in a serious manner, and then the style of painting changed.
"But our family married you to him, just to see the good habit of his family not accepting concubines. If this kid is prodigal, don't be polite, you are the daughter of the prince, you should show the bearing of a high-ranking girl! ”
"Grandmother!"
"Old lady!"
Zhang Suyi's mother-in-law, the Jiang family, and the female officials sent by the queen of the palace were all taken aback by the old lady's words.
Who said that the old lady of the Zhang family was confused! Isn't that shrewd?
Zhang Suyi smiled at the corner of her mouth and softly agreed to her great-grandmother.
The old lady nodded in satisfaction.
If Su Niang said something like "I will be gentle and frugal", then she would be really disappointed.
The female official in the palace immediately followed behind the old lady of the Zhang family and said the words of blessing from the mother of the palace, and also said some words of warning, then the Jiang family, and then Zhang Suyi's other female relatives.
It's just that Zhang Suyi's aunt has already finished admonishing her, and she hasn't urged the bride to go out quickly.
It stands to reason that when the bridegroom arrives at the door, at most half an hour, the bride will go out.
"I'm going to see what the hell is going on! Don't miss the auspicious time! ”
Jiang is more anxious than his daughter.
After a while, the mother-in-law who went out of the city to inquire about the situation ran back quickly.
"Madame, Mrs., the second young master blocked the door and didn't let my uncle enter, and I made eight hypnotic poems one after another!"
"You little bastard! It's not worrying to be in your twenties! Go and tell him that if he misses his sister's good deeds, let him stand outside the door and not come in the future! ”
A room full of children burst into laughter.
The second child of the Zhang family over there received the reprimand of his mother, and he didn't dare to play anymore, so he hurriedly let the groom in.
Li Rui straightened his clothes and personally entered the door to greet him.
On the other side, Zhang Suyi was led out of the yard by her own aunt.
She wore a crown of nine trees on her head, a beaded curtain in front of her, and was wearing a red bird and a phoenix in Zhai's clothes, with a graceful figure, walking towards Li Rui step by step.
Li Rui only felt that a red cloud was floating in front of him from front to back, and he didn't know what to do.
Zhang Suyi's aunt smiled, put Suyi's hand on the hand of the groom, patted their hands gently, and said with a smile: "Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son." Bridegroom, take your bride. ”
Li Rui only felt that a soft and boneless little hand was put into his hand, and when he looked at it again, the skin on this little hand was as white as congealed fat, and he couldn't wait to take a bite.
That's great! No cocoons!
The bride is also a normal body type!
Looking at his knotted wife, who was only up to his shoulder, Li Rui almost shed tears of joy.
God knows that he is already mentally prepared for the bride's "tiger back and bear's waist".
He also comforted himself, no matter how "strong" she was, anyway, she was not as "strong" as herself, and that was enough.
Li Rui naturally couldn't see that his grandmother was standing beside them, smiling and looking at himself holding his hand and smirking.
Gu Qing raised his hand, and like Zhang Suyi's aunt just now, he patted his hand on the hands of a couple of newcomers, and blessed him sincerely: "I have raised it for many years, and now I will hand it over to you." You're going to treat him well for me. ”
Li Rui turned around, took his wife's hand, and passed through Gu Qing's body together.
Only Gu Qing, who stayed in place in a daze, was left.
"What is Grandma going to do?"
"What?" Zhang Xuan heard Li Mei's words and quickly opened the eyes of heaven.
Then Li Mei and Zhang Xuan stood not far away, watching Mrs. Qiu pat Li Rui and Zhang Suyi's hands with a smile, and muttered something with a moving smile.
If it weren't for the special situation of Mrs. Qiu, this would have been a very touching scene.
When Li Rui and Zhang Suyi passed over Gu Qing, a suppressed emotion rose in the hearts of Zhang Xuan and Li Mei. Zhang Xuan was even more sad and turned his head, and couldn't bear not to look at Tianjun's expression at this moment.
Even if this is just a mortal world, the children who have been raised for so many years have feelings.
It's too heartwarming to turn a blind eye or something.
Xiao Li Mei took Zhang Xuan's hand, looked at her grandmother not far away, and covered her heart.
"Brother Zhang Xuan, why am I so uncomfortable here." Li Mei looked at the eldest brother and sister-in-law who had already walked to the door, "Sister-in-law probably looks beautiful, I should be happy." ”
"Ahh I'm so uncomfortable too. Zhang Xuan clenched Li Mei's hand.
"Why should you feel bad?" Li Mei's tears fell as if they had broken a thread.
"Probably...... Because grandma looks so pitiful. ”
Zhang Xuan held back the sourness in his chest, stared at the somewhat stunned Old Taijun Qiu came back to his senses, patted his cheeks with both hands, and then returned to his original smile.
A crazy idea suddenly got into Zhang Xuan's mind.
He wants Li Rui to see her!
The author has something to say: I cried after writing it, so there is no small theater.
55555555555, I have a feeling that my own son has run away from other women, and when my son gets married in the future, how should I adjust my mentality!
Hurry up and be kind to my mother-in-law.
