Chapter 306: A Different Wedding (3)
Chen Ju said this, and the others naturally couldn't say anything, so they hurriedly went to prepare, and after a while, the mighty pick-up team set off from Guo's mansion. This wedding is co-organized by the Ministry of Rites, and the style is naturally different, the specifications are second only to the honor guard of the prince and princess, and even the musicians in charge of blowing and beating are the royal musicians who play musical instruments for major ceremonies of the imperial court.
Such a grand welcoming team is naturally very eye-catching, attracting the common people of the capital to gather on both sides of the road to watch, whispering to each other about which princely minister's family is holding a wedding, can send such a grand welcoming team, in addition to the wedding host is curious, there are careful people also found another detail that makes them more curious, the general welcoming team is the groom riding a tall horse walking next to the sedan chair, but they did not see the groom next to the sedan chair.
However, at this time, the welcoming team did not have the time to pay attention to the discussion of the people, they had to hurry up to Chu Mansion, but the groom was not there, they would definitely not be able to explain to the woman's family, and they might not marry if they changed to someone else's family, even if Shen Li came forward to explain, they would definitely have to delay a lot of effort, so they had to hurry up, if they missed the auspicious time of the worship hall, it would be troublesome!
Seeing that the team was approaching the Chu Mansion, a large group of people wearing linen and filial piety suddenly rushed out of the alley next to the road, carrying a huge black lacquer coffin, blocking the way of the welcoming team! Now all the faces of the welcoming team are all black, this welcoming team encounters the funeral procession is a big taboo, not to mention bad luck, the main omen is not good, indicating that this family business is not favored by God, unlucky!
So generally speaking, the welcoming team will specialize in exploring the road in front to avoid encountering this unlucky situation, but at this time the capital is not like our modern times, it is all spacious roads, and the capital at this time is full of small alleys, and the people who explore the road can't take care of this end and the other, so they still let these two teams collide!
I believe that seeing this, everyone has also guessed that the appearance of this funeral team is naturally not a coincidence, but deliberately arranged by Xu Yunzhen and Xiao Youhan! At this time, Xu Yunzhen and Xiao Youhan were sitting in the box on the second floor of a teahouse on the side of the road and looking down at this scene. You see that the face of the leading ceremonial member is dark, haha! ……”
Xiao Youhan also felt relieved when he saw this scene, but he thought of the seriousness of the matter if it was revealed, so he said with some concern: "Brother Yunzhen, there won't be any problems, right?" If they catch people for a trial and bite us out, it's going to be troublesome......"
Xu Yunzhen shook his head nonchalantly and said: "Just put your heart in your stomach, I have inquired clearly, today's main marriage is Shen Li, the second assistant of the cabinet, that old man Shen has always prided himself on being upright, and he does not allow the ministers of the DPRK and China to oppress the people, the people's families have died, and the funeral is normal, he can still slap his own face?!" ……”
Xiao Youhan nodded, not too timid, and changed the topic: "Hey, what about Guo Zhiyuan?" How can there be no one next to the sedan chair? ……”
gave Xiao Youhan such a reminder, Xu Yunzhen also sensed that something was wrong, patted his head and said, "Yes, I didn't see the groom!" Maybe he's sitting in the sedan chair at the back......"
Of course, the ceremonial member who led the team didn't know that all this was designed by someone, but it was a bad year and something should happen, first the groom disappeared, and now he was so unlucky that he ran into the funeral procession, so he hit the funeral team with a black face and scolded the funeral team: "Where did you come from? Don't hurry up and step aside, let the team of kisses go first! ……”
The leaders of the funeral procession were all Xu Yunzhen looking for a few bold splashes, Xu Yunzhen also expected such a situation, so he taught these bold splashes how to deal with them in advance, so those splashes were not stage frightened, and pointed to the huge coffin without showing weakness and replied to the member of the Ministry of Rites: "The dead are great!" Didn't you see us carrying such a heavy coffin? The coffin can't fall to the ground during the funeral, if the coffin can't hold on, the coffin will cheat the corpse if it falls to the ground, and you will retreat! ……”
At this time, Shen Li also came out of the sedan chair, he was also in a bad mood when he saw this scene, and at the same time he became more and more anxious, but he was indeed an extremely upright and good official, so he naturally would not bully others, and called the etiquette member Wai Lang, who was about to get angry, waved his hand and said: "This little brother is reasonable, the dead are the greatest, let them pass first!" It's not that much effort......"
Shen Li spoke, and the member of the Ministry of Rites didn't want to say anything, so he had to order the welcoming team to retreat to the side first, so that the funeral team passed first, this funeral team was deliberately sent by Xu Yunzhen to make trouble, so he deliberately grinded and pretended to be very difficult to carry the coffin, Shen Li, they were not easy to urge, so they could only wait anxiously on the side.
At this time, it is also a festive scene in Chu Mansion, Shuntian Mansion Yin is also a powerful figure in the capital, plus this marriage is given by Emperor Wanli himself, so there are really a lot of ministers in the court who came to congratulate Chu Honggang, but seeing that the auspicious time is coming, the team to welcome the relatives has not yet appeared, Chu Honggang is also a little unable to sit still, so many ministers of the court and the central government of Daohe are present, if there is an accident, it will be a shame and a big shame, and the worse marriage is the marriage of the Wanli Emperor, if it is delayed, it will be troublesome!
Chu Honggang anxiously paced back and forth in the flower hall, and asked his housekeeper, "Didn't I ask you to arrange someone to pick up the welcoming team?" Where is the greeting party now? Why hasn't it arrived yet?! ……”
The housekeeper didn't know how to answer Chu Honggang's question, so he rubbed his hands nervously and said cautiously: "Master, the little one has already sent people to wait at several intersections, and he should... It should be almost there......"
On the side, an official who was good friends with Chu Honggang persuaded him: "Lord Chu doesn't need to be anxious, Shen Ge is always the officiant, and he will inevitably come with the wedding team, with his old man in charge, there will be no accidents!" ……”
As he was talking, a little guy ran in panting, and the housekeeper recognized at a glance that this little guy was the person he had arranged to pick up the greeting team, and hurriedly rejoiced: "It's here!" Here it comes! Saying that, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the panicked little guy and scolded: "Little Four, what are you doing in a panic?!" Didn't you see that there are so many adults here? But the greeting procession has arrived?! ……”
The little guy glanced at Chu Honggang with some cringe, and said, "Still... Not yet! Greet... The greeting queue was blocked... Stuck in a traffic jam... It's on its way! ……”
