Wang Yuan and Song Ling'er's family affairs are a combination of Han and Zhong etiquette, including etiquette such as picking, asking names, divination, etc., as well as the traditional customs of the Zhong family.

On the day of the wedding, Wang Yuan, as the groom, did not go to the Song family to pick up relatives, but sent a team to welcome relatives. The woman holds a feast, which can last for three days, that is, the bride has left, and relatives and friends and guests will have a good time at the woman's mother's house.

Song Ling'er wore a red embroidered smock with more than ten layers under the lining, but it did not look bloated, and only held up the batik pleated flower skirt high, a bit like the whalebone skirt of a European medieval noblewoman.

There is no phoenix crown and xiaxia veil, and there is no big red hijab, Song Linger wears a colorful square scarf on her head. She was adorned with silver ornaments all over her body, and when she walked, she jingled, and the sun could even reflect dazzling brilliance.

"Grandma, you're so beautiful today!" Wang Ce praised from the bottom of his heart.

Song Ling'er bent down to pick up her son, kissed her on the cheek and said, "Ah Ce is also very handsome today. ”

In fact, the greeting team sent by Wang Yuan had already arrived yesterday afternoon.

Among the wedding team, there are four Ming Li, who are responsible for the wedding etiquette and the handover of the dowry and dowry. They also brought a pair of white geese (geese are hard to find), which is a Chinese custom; and brought a pair of small live pigs, which is a common custom.

In addition, there are four boys and girls, who deliver the book of welcoming relatives on behalf of the groom, and receive the book of Geng (the bride's birthday) from the woman.

After all the procedures were carried out, the welcoming team enjoyed a banquet at Song's house, and had to stay at Song's house for one night, and pick up the bride the next day when they were auspicious.

"Madam, young master, the auspicious time has come." The maid came in to report.

The maid's name is Ah Ya and she has no surname. Born with a poor appearance, he is better than the five big and three coarse, he can follow Song Ling'er to the battlefield, and he is usually responsible for leading the horse and holding the knife with the left and right.

Song Linger immediately got up and walked out with her son in her arms.

"Miss!"

Thirteen guards stood outside the door, greeting in unison.

Song Ling'er said, "Bring the horse." ”

These thirteen guards have all followed Song Ling'er for many years, and now they are going to the Wang family together as a dowryman.

Some of them Wang Yuan also knew, and they had been ordered to follow Song Ling'er since they were children, but now only five people are dead. Achai has a long scar on his face, Ngawang's left leg is a little uncomfortable, and the other three are also injured.

The other eight people were all recruited by Song Linger when she returned to Guizhou. At that time, more than 20 personal guards were recruited, either dead or disabled, and only these eight people remained.

Achai brought a Longkeng horse, which was a Shuixi horse that grew up in Yanglongkeng, and was also known as "Shuixi Longma". There were many colorful ornaments hanging on the horse, Song Linger put her son on the horse, and she quickly turned over on the horse, shaking the reins: "Drive!" ”

The maid Aja, the thirteen guards, immediately followed on horseback. They were heavily armed and armoured, as if they were going to war.

Whether it was the welcoming team sent by Wang Yuan, or the Song clan people who sent their relatives to see the excitement, they were all surprised by such a hard-core formation, because Song Ling'er had already made a name for himself in Guizhou.

Song Linger's personal martial arts are not strong, and the military command is not necessarily very exquisite. She just treats the soldiers preferentially, giving them enough food and pay to keep them fed. At the same time, the army was governed very strictly, and the rewards and punishments were clear, and the soldiers rushed forward in the battle - so the death and casualty rate of the guards was extremely high.

As long as you do this, you can crush most of the Tusi and military generals in Guizhou.

After several successive victories, the people of Guizhou respectfully called her Song Niangzi and Song Lady, and the troops under her command were also called the Lady Army and Lady Soldiers.

From the Song Beiya to Zazuo County, it is less than a hundred miles. But most of them were mountain roads, and the welcoming team also carried a lot of dowries, rushed during the day, slept in the open at night, and finally arrived after walking for two days.

The residents of Zazuo County are mostly ethnic minorities, including Zhong, Miao, Dong and Yi, and many people who wear green have settled down in the mountains.

As soon as the welcoming team arrived, the people came to see the excitement and pointed out and discussed with Song Ling'er.

In Guizhou, it is not uncommon for a bride to get married on horseback, but it is rare to bring her son with her. What's more, the maids and guards behind him all rode horses, carrying swords and arrows.

Entering the county town without city walls, Song Linger soon saw the champion archway.

Passing through the archway, not far away is the Wang's house, and the plaque is engraved with three big characters of "Champion No. 1".

Since the Wang family's mansion is not large, ordinary banquets are placed outside the mansion. A few days ago, a flowing water banquet was set up, and beggars could come to eat, and it was up to the guests to follow the courtesy.

There are also some banquets in the house, but identity verification is required, and gifts are required to enter.

At this time, the Han family wedding ceremony was restored.

From the door to the inner hall, cotton bags are laid along the way, and the bride's feet cannot touch the ground.

Wang Yuan stood at the door wearing a wedding robe, and Song Ling'er pointed: "Ace, that's your father." ”

Wang Ce looked at it carefully and shouted happily: "Abba! ”

After Wang Yuan returned to Guizhou, he adhered to the etiquette of the Han family and did not go to the Song family's northern government to visit his wife and children. Anyway, the wedding date has already been set, and it will only be a few days, and he will be busy going home to prepare for the wedding.

Seeing that his son is so old, he was born with a tiger's brain. Wang Yuan walked over with a happy face, picked up his son from the horse, touched it and said, "Ce'er is so good!" ”

Wang Yuan held his son in one hand, and carried Song Ling'er off the horse with the other, and led her all the way to the worship hall with her feet on the cloth bag.

The eunuchs of Guizhou Town, the officials of the three divisions, and the generals of the guard station, all who can come, and many fellow scholars are all feasting and drinking in the house at this moment.

Even the two leaders of the Shuixi clan (one of the three brothers has died) also sent people to send congratulatory gifts, just asking Wang Yuan to say a few good words in the court, so that he could inherit the post of Guizhou Zuo Xuan's consolation envoy.

Only Song Gongzi didn't come, because he was from his mother's family, and the woman was also feasting.

In the inner hall, Wang Quan and Wang Jiang sat in the high hall, and his sister Wang Wei stood next to him to watch the ceremony. The eldest brother and sister-in-law greet guests in the hall, and are responsible for male and female guests respectively.

Wang Meng came to the table of the officials of the Third Division, raised his glass and said: "Chiefs, the hospitality is not good, and I still look at Haihan." I will give you a cup on behalf of the bridegroom, and eat and drink well today. ”

Chen Yong, the political envoy, got up and said: "I also wish Wang Shilang and his wife a deep affection and a good union for a hundred years!" ”

The officials of the three divisions stood up one after another, each said some auspicious words, and drank it all.

Wang Meng went to pay tribute to the eunuchs and military attachés again, and the eunuchs were very enthusiastic and eager to be grandsons of the Wang family.

Lin Maoda, a political counselor in Guizhou, heard the flattering words of the eunuch at the adjacent table, and immediately laughed in a low voice: "This eunuch usually has no one in his eyes, but today he is respectful when he arrives at the Wang family. ”

"Wang Shilang is in the middle of the holy family, why don't you stutter?" Chen Yong said.

During the Zhengde period, there was not only one political envoy in Guizhou, but only one political envoy.

Lin Maoda, a member of the left political department, is a native of Fujian, born in the Lin family of Putian, and his father Lin Sicheng is also a jinshi. This person's situation is similar to Chen Yong, who was the supervisor of the imperial history in Beizhili and the deputy envoy of the inspection in Huguang, both of whom offended too many people selflessly and were thrown to the poor countryside of Guizhou as an official.

But Lin Maodazu has been an official for several generations, has accumulated countless contacts, and will definitely be promoted after a few years, while Chen Yong can only rely on himself.

As soon as Wang Yuan returned to his hometown, I don't know how many officials stammered, and Chen Yong, who was selfless and selfless, moved his mind.

The general army of Guizhou has been replaced, Li Sanlang's father retired from injury, and the new general soldier of Guizhou is named Yang Ren. This guy is worse than Li Ying's father in the war, he relies on bribing the eunuchs to take the throne, and at the moment he is befriending Wang Meng, who is only a thousand households.

The generals were shouting and punching, and Wang Yuan's classmates were much more elegant and began to order alcohol there.

These classmates alone sat at four tables, and more than a dozen of them wanted to follow Wang Yuan into Beijing - they couldn't pass the exam, and they wanted to do some errands casually.

It was dark outside, Wang Yuan and Song Ling'er had already entered the cave room, and a son followed as a light bulb.

"Abba, Grandma said you can shoot two stone bows, is it true?" Wang Ce sat in his father's arms and asked with a look of adoration.

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Abba will open it for you tomorrow." ”

Wang Ce asked again: "What does the little Mongolian prince look like?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "Short and short, bearded, not good-looking. ”

Wang Ce asked again: "Grandma said, I still have a younger brother in the capital, can my younger brother speak?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Yes." When you go to the capital, you can take your brother to play together. ”

Wang Ce asked again: "Can I take the mouse to the capital?" ”

Song Linger suddenly interjected: "The mouse is the bamboo bear raised at home. ”

Wang Yuan said: "There is not so much bamboo in Beijing, and I am afraid that if I take the rats, I will starve to death." ”

Wang Ce said: "The rat can not eat bamboo, it usually eats fruits and jerky. ”

Wang Yuan said: "But it has no company in the capital, if you stay in Guizhou, the mouse can go to the bamboo forest to find friends to play by himself." ”

"Oh." Wang Ce was a little disappointed.

Song Ling'er had finished untying the heavy silver ornaments, sat beside her husband and son, and said, "Ace, the mouse will also become a biological child in the future." Staying in Guizhou, it likes to go to the bamboo forest when it is in the bamboo forest, and likes to have something to eat at home. Grandma will ask someone to take care of it, and when you go home to visit relatives in the future, you can also continue to play with the mouse. ”

Wang Ce's mood improved slightly, and he asked again: "Abba, Grandma said that the capital is so big, much bigger than Guizhou City, is it true?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "It's true." ”

Wang Ce asked again: "Abba......"

It is estimated that it was because of the first time the father and son met, Wang Ce had endless words, just like a little talker.

A family of three, eating in the cave room, talking.

The banquet outside was dispersed, and Wang Ce finally fell asleep in his father's arms, and was carried to the next room to continue sleeping.

"Ling'er," Wang Yuan returned to the cave room, hugged Song Ling'er and said, "I said that I would let Your Majesty give you a marriage, and now I have finally done it." ”

Although Song Ling'er was moved, she said stiffly: "But I still want to continue to lead the troops, and I can't fight if I go to the capital with you." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Is it important to fight, or am I more important?" ”

Song Ling'er didn't answer, but asked, "Then you can take me with you when you fight in the future?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Other battles may not be, but soon there will be a big battle that can satisfy you."

"What kind of battle?" Song Ling'er asked.

Wang Yuan said: "Someone is going to rebel, Your Majesty asked me to go and calm down by the way." The teacher is also over there, and I don't know if the rebels can hold out until I can lead the army. ”

(It's gone today, but it's three shifts tomorrow.) ）
