With the slender and swaying figures of the two beauties, suddenly, Chu had a trace of inexplicable melancholy, the scenery of the maple forest was still beautiful, but Chu Zhen's interest was a little unpleasant, he walked a few steps at will, and then turned around and returned to the manor, at this time Gao Shilin and Chu Jue were also a little sober, and learned that it had sunset, and there was no delay. \

A few days passed by in a snap of a finger, and after the wedding date was determined, the high mansion with high walls and deep courtyards and many houses was immediately lit up inside and outside under the surging arrangement, and it was full of festive colors for a while.

"Caiqing, the Cao family has already sent 'back fish chopsticks', tomorrow is the day to welcome your relatives, you are ready.

Gao Tao said with a chuckle, and he also felt a little emotion in his heart, time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, his younger brother is about to marry a wife and have children.

In ancient times, weddings were carried out in strict accordance with the procedures of acceptance, asking for names, naji, recruitment, invitation, and personal welcome, and the same was true in the Song Dynasty, but in the Song Dynasty, the marriage date was agreed, and then the man chose the auspicious day of the zodiac and gave the dowry, and the rhythm of marriage was accelerated.

The financial gift is different from the small gift before and after the meeting, that is some symbolic objects, such as the man's family carrying a large wine bottle containing a little wine, containing eight large flowers, eight craft ornaments, tied on the burden with a bonus, sent to the woman's house, the woman's family with two bottles of fresh water, three or five live fish, a pair of chopsticks, put into the large wine bottle sent, with this "back to the fish chopsticks" response, metaphorically happy, in order to show the woman's family satisfaction with the marriage, after this procedure, it means that the marriage has been completely finalized, and then the highlight is welcome.

"What is there to prepare, get up early tomorrow, and then take the people to Cao's house to pick up the daughter-in-law." Zhao Zongshi said with a smile.

"My brother-in-law didn't say anything, my sister has arranged things properly, I have nothing to worry about." Gao Shilin smiled, a little flattering.

"It's okay for you to say, these days you just call friends and play around, if you don't remember to go home, I thought you had forgotten your life's events." Gao Tao reprimanded.

"I want to come by myself, but you won't let me." Gao Shilin muttered secretly.

"Do you say?" Something seems to be heard. Gao surging willow eyebrows raised slightly. It has a graceful and luxurious temperament.

"I'm secretly thanking my sister. It's been a hard time for you these past few days. Gao Shilin hurriedly thanked him.

"Well, I finally have a little conscience." Gao Tao said with satisfaction: "After you get married." It's not good for my sister to remind you from time to time to learn steadily. Lest it be laughed at. ”

Gao Shilin is submissive. I feel a little grateful. There is also a feeling of relief.

"You don't have to worry. After starting a family. Caiqing naturally understands how he should take responsibility. Zhao Zongshi chuckled lightly and spurted his hand. comforted and said: "When I first married you, I didn't know anything. Now I've learned everything. ”

Gao Tao's pretty face was slightly red, with a hint of sweet joy. Looking at the tender and sweet appearance of other husbands and wives, Gao Shilin was envious. It's also very interesting to retreat.

"By the way, Caiqing, listen to you, tomorrow's personal welcome [is Jing Chun]." Zhao Zongshi said, with a happy smile on his face.

"Yes, he was very eager to make a appearance, and in desperation, I had to agree to him." Gao Shilin said with a grin, but the real truth is exactly the opposite.

"With Gongzi Chu here, then I will be much more relieved." Gao Tao smiled, and was really relieved from her heart, the woman's family would set up many obstacles when she greeted her, and she was really afraid that Gao Shilin would not be able to cope with it and lose face.

"Since taking the prescription prescribed by Jing Chun, my body feels much refreshed, I wanted you to invite Jing Chun to come, I thanked him in person, but I think he has no leisure time recently, and it is not easy to disturb." Zhao Zongshi smiled: "I just toast with him tomorrow." ”

"What the husband said is very true." Gao Tao thought it was true, she had a very good impression of Chu Qian, not only because the prescription prescribed by Chu Zhi alleviated Zhao Zongshi's pain, but more importantly, Chu Zhi was extraordinary in learning and had a good reputation, she very much hoped that Gao Shilin could make more friends like Chu Qian.

"Then brother-in-law, you have to be careful, Jing Chun's alcohol consumption is not shallow." Gao Shilin chuckled, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked quietly: "Brother-in-law, the palace examination has been over for a few days, I wonder if the official family has finished reviewing the papers?" ”

Although the identity of Zhao Zongshi as the crown prince has not been determined, Song Renzong seems to be very fond of this child who was adopted in the palace by himself since he was a child, and often summons Zhao Zongshi into the palace when he is fine, and sometimes asks him for his opinion on some court affairs.

"What is this for, you ask?" Zhao Zongshi frowned, then reacted, and said with a smile: "I really haven't paid attention to this, but I think it's going to come quickly." ”

Song Renzong is not an eloquent emperor, but he has an advantage, that is, he likes to do what he can do, although most of the papers of the palace examination are handed over to the pavilion bachelor for review, but he occasionally takes the time to read so many copies, and insists

Zizi has seen all of them, and because of this, the gold list that should have been three or four days after the palace exam has not been seen until now, making the people wait anxiously.

"Caiqing, you let Gongzi Chu feel relieved, with his talent and learning, it will not be a problem to get a Jinshi." Gao Tao chuckled, and seemed to be more confident than Chu Zhen himself.

"If there is no news in the past two days, I will go into the palace to investigate." Zhao Zongshi said with a smile, and his heart suddenly moved, feeling that this was also a way to return the favor.

"Then please leave it to my brother-in-law." Gao Shilin smiled and bowed his hand, suddenly withdrew his smile, and sighed lightly: "Actually, all of us know that Jing Chun will definitely be able to get into the Jinshi, but before the result comes out, he just can't rest assured, and his heart is uncomfortable." ”

"In that case, you might as well think seriously about what you should do tomorrow to bring your daughter-in-law back." Gao Tao pursed his lips and smiled: "As far as I know, Xin'er seems to have a lot of difficult ideas for you, and if you can't answer, she will turn you away." ”

"No, how could she do this?" Gao Shilin shouted angrily, and it didn't take long for him to suddenly become confident again, and smiled confidently: "It doesn't matter, Jingchun is by your side, and you are not afraid of her." ”

In the early morning of the next day, the vocal music in front of the Gaofu Gate, blowing and beating that is not lively, although as early as the "Book of Rites" put forward the regulations that the wedding does not need to be happy, even if the Tang Dynasty, which is known as the open atmosphere, although there is a wide range of music, singing and dancing when marrying, but it was banned by the imperial court, until the former emperor and the crown prince of the Northern Song Dynasty still attacked the old system, and the wedding still did not hold music, but after several generations of evolution, this regulation was much looser in the people, and wedding music has become commonplace.

"Caiqing, do you feel uncomfortable ...... like this?" Chu Zhen, who came in a hurry with Chu Jue, saw Gao Shilin's current appearance, and said with a forced smile.

Gao Shilin, who was wearing a big red robe, with a colored knot on his chest, and white powder on his face, glared fiercely and said: "I know that I am uncomfortable, if you don't come quickly, take Yuan'er home as soon as possible, and I won't have to suffer this." ”

"Gaozi, the auspicious time has arrived, it's time to set off, otherwise it will be delayed.

The matchmaker, dressed in a coloured suit, was urging on the side.

"So what are you waiting for, let's go." Gao Shilin waved his hand and shouted, and in the midst of a lively joy, the entourage took vases, lamps and candles, incense balls, Shaluo washing, makeup boxes, photo tables, skirt boxes, clothes boxes, green umbrellas, chairs and other things, and followed the carriage and sedan chair to Cao Mansion.

At this time, Cao's Mansion is also a lively and extraordinary scene, in front of the palace forbidden hall, Cao Kai, the governor of Xuzhou, with his family worshipping his ancestors with a spring breeze. Although he is middle-aged, his face is as pure as jade, and Cao, who is elegant and chic, took a prayer and handed it to Cao Yuan, and said in a harmonious voice: "Yuan'er, after reciting, I will burn it to tell the ancestors." ”

Cao Yuan bowed softly, took the prayer, knelt down, and read softly: "I married today, but I didn't dare to be self-dictated." At four o'clock and eight festivals, there are constant cigarettes. Tell the divine, and hope for mercy. It is natural for a man to marry a woman. There are auspicious and celebratory parties, and both husband and wife are complete. No disaster, no difficulty, forever a hundred years. Like fish in water, better than honey and sweet. ”

After chanting and kowtowing according to the rules, Yingying stood up, with a little joy and a touch of sadness in her heart.

"Sister Xin'er, Sister Yuan'er, what are you doing?" In the family hall, a child about six or seven years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a round and jade face, asked curiously.

"This is asking the ancestors to bless Sister Yuan'er with a safe pass." Cao Yaxin whispered: "Xiao Yue, don't make noise, I'll accompany you to play in a while." ”

Cao Yue seemed to understand whether he knew how to agree, obediently shut up without saying a word, and a pair of dark and smart eyes carefully looked at the situation in the hall, only to see Cao Yuan burn the prayer and get up, and then lightly saluted Cao and Cao Kairou, with a trace of tears in her beautiful eyes.

"Uncle, father, Yuan'er can't always serve by your side in the future, please forgive me." Cao Yuan said with a cry, tears falling quietly.

"Silly boy, today is your big day, what are you crying about?" Cao Kai said softly, feeling a little uncomfortable, her daughter, who usually treats her as a treasure, is going to marry a woman and leave her side, how can she not be a little sad.

Infected by this atmosphere, Cao Yaxin's heart was also a little gloomy, and she proposed without thinking: "Since the second uncle is reluctant to let Sister Yuan'er go, then don't let her marry at all." ”

"Xin'er, don't mess around." Cao laughed and immediately reprimanded with a straight face.

"Second brother, why is my sister crying? Who bullied her. Cao Yue tugged at the corner of Cao Lu's pants beside him, and his round little face flashed a trace of confusion.

"No one bullied her, it's just that she's leaving, and everyone feels uncomfortable." Cao Lu said softly.

"Isn't my sister going to get married? How do you want to go? Cao Yue was puzzled, his thin eyebrows were tangled together, obviously he didn't understand the connection between marrying and leaving.

"This ......." Cao Lu froze, not understanding how to explain it in order for a six-year-old child to understand such a complex meaning.
