At three o'clock in the afternoon of the later generations, Zhao Kuangyin personally sent Zhao Dezhao to board a white horse.

"Let's go." As soon as he gave the order, the sound of zheng-music immediately sounded, and the wind orchestra headed by suona and the plucked string orchestra led by pipa immediately twisted the dance steps like a big Yangge and began to set off.

Zhao Dezhao, surrounded by dozens of scribes led by Wang Chengyan and Wei Xianxin, rode a white horse and followed the orchestra.

He tied red silk flowers on his chest, painted a face of fat powder, and carried two large chrysanthemums on his head, and walked out of the East Palace in a mighty way.

This image, not to mention how mournful, is a characteristic of this era.

Today is a literary marriage, and these scribes are just to deal with all kinds of literary difficulties.

For example, if you want to compose a poem or sing a song, they have to deal with these kinds of things.

Behind them was a sixteen-lift sedan chair with two entrances and two fronts, which was also the largest sedan chair in this era.

In this period, not everyone can sit on a sedan chair, not only ordinary people can't sit, but even dignified prime ministers can't sit.

Except for the bride who married and the coffin after the dead, no one could drive with people.

If the prime minister is too old and frail to ride a horse, what if he is ridden on a horse? Then the emperor will give a decree and allow the prime minister to sit in a sedan chair.

But this kind of kindness was rarely given in the Northern Song Dynasty, because you can still take a car.

Until the Southern Song Dynasty, when the capital had moved to the south, the local area was not only short of horses, cattle, but also narrow streets.

Under the conditions at that time, Zhao Gou let go of the control of the shoulder and allowed the minister to sit in a sedan chair, and later gradually the people could also sit.

Today's shoulders, only the emperor and his concubines can sit, and they are basically still in the palace.

Because there are many thresholds and steps in the palace, it is inconvenient to drive, so it is mainly used to travel on the shoulder.

However, Zhao Kuangyin is a martial arts master and likes to walk by himself, although there are more than a dozen concubines in the palace, their status is not high, so there is no sedan chair in the palace today.

Around the sedan chair is a group of old ladies who no one dares to provoke, they are headed by the eldest princess of Yan Kingdom, all of whom are related to Zhao Dezhao, and the lowest is the wife of a certain commander, even Zhao Kuangyin does not dare to provoke them.

One by one, they are also dressed like square dance aunts who are going to perform on the county stage, and they are demonic, and everyone has half a catty of powder on their faces.

Then on the outside of the white painted face, he also painted short eyebrows and a small cherry mouth, which can scare people to death at night.

As soon as they came out of the East Palace, the people who saw the excitement gathered excitedly to them, especially the children, who surrounded them one by one.

Because each of them had a basket in the crook of his arm, which contained copper coins, snacks, and caramel candy, and scattered them along the way.

How can the children of the people in this era have the habit of eating snacks, even if it is a piece of sugar, I am afraid that many children have not eaten it.

Every time they sprinkle sugar and snacks, the children are just like the New Year.

Before they reached the East Side, hundreds of children followed.

Zhao Dezhao was a little uncomfortable at first and felt too embarrassed, but later found that people didn't pay attention to him at all, and gradually relaxed.

The inner city of Kaifeng Mansion is not big, the width from east to west is only 3.5 kilometers, and the length from north to south is only about 4.5 kilometers.

The Wang family is in the northeast city, and the neighborhood of the powerful is only one kilometer away in a straight line.

But marrying relatives can't take one way to go, so when I go, I deliberately took a detour and left the straight road for when I came back.

In less than half an hour, the procession of welcoming relatives arrived at the door of the king's house.

The Wang family was also on guard for a long time, and before anyone arrived, the gate was closed.

There were eight middle-aged aunts standing outside the door, first asking for seals, that is, red envelopes, and then deliberately making things difficult on the grounds of inspecting the wedding ceremony.

But these are just going through the motions, and that's what they mean.

Behind them, it's the real level.

First of all, we have to pass the relatives and friends, these are mainly Wang's friends, and we must make a welcome poem and a welcome song.

Naturally, there are people to deal with these, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.

Zhao Dezhao should watch the excitement and think it's quite interesting.

In the Ming Dynasty, the royal family had a large shelf, and dozens of concubines were selected at once, and there was no such procedure at all.

When they entered the gate, the people of the Wang clan personally went out, led by the four elder brothers of the Wang family, and deliberately made things difficult for everyone.

Zhao Dezhao also followed the customs of the locals, according to the characteristics of this era, under the arrangement of the prime minister, he dealt with them one by one.

The third level is the children's level, the children of the four brothers of the Wang family, and the children of the other Wang family children came out to seal the son.

They were much easier to deal with, and one person sent a string of copper coins and two silver ingots of five taels, and sent them over.

When he came to the main house of the Wang family, Wang Pu was already sitting in the lobby, but his seriousness did not have much deterrent power in front of Wang Zuo, who was deliberately funny.

Wang Pu didn't do much to make it difficult, so he let his eldest son go into the backyard and carry out Wang Sanjie.

Wang Sanjie has not yet put on makeup, her eyebrows are clear, and her face is flushed, which is also a rare opportunity for her to show her face in front of everyone.

Wang Pu confessed a few words of reprimand to run the family with logistics labor, and the queen mother explained some reasons for getting along with husband and wife, and then knelt down to worship his father.

At this time, it's time to start crying and getting married.

When Wang Sanjie knelt down, she burst into tears, and before she got up, she cried.

Then several of her sisters-in-law came to persuade her, and Zhao Dezhao was also kicked out at this time, and went to pad her stomach with the welcoming team.

Everyone else ate with a mouth full of oil, and Zhao Dezhao didn't dare to eat too much at this time, so he ate four round soup cakes, which were not much different from the dumplings in later generations.

waited for two quarters of an hour, that is, half an hour, before Wang Sanjie finished her makeup, and when Zhao Dezhao said goodbye, she became a ghost-like look.

I won't talk about anything else, anyway, it's similar to the geisha of later generations, but deliberately painting the white teeth black, that's really enough!

Anyway, he can't accept the aesthetics of this era at all.

Third Sister Wang herself was embarrassed, she didn't dare to open her mouth at all, and she didn't even dare to look at Zhao Dezhao with her eyes.

The last step is to cover the Xia curtain, Wang Sanjie was blocked by a red embroidered brocade, and a piece of red silk was stuffed in her hand, Zhao Dezhao held the other end, and there was a big red flower between the two.

led Wang Sanjie out of the main hall, and immediately various musical instruments sounded again, but the most piercing thing was suona.

Along the way, there was a red carpet on the ground, and the bride's feet could not touch the soil.

The sedan chair stopped at the end of the red carpet, and the eldest princess of Yan stepped forward to hold the hand of the third sister Wang, said some auspicious words, and welcomed her to the sedan chair.

Then, two twins, dressed in one-color clothes, followed the sedan chair to the left and right.

In 963, as soon as Zhao Dezhao turned twelve years old, he opened the palace and lived in the East Palace.

At the same time, the wives of the Wang family and the Chen family were decided.

When you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous person, and you can take a concubine.

In order to envelop this royal son-in-law, the Wang family inquired everywhere, bought the twins, and came back to raise them.

They are one year younger than Wang, trained for two years, and married with Wang, in the inconvenient stage of Wang's pregnancy and childbirth, they can help Wang's pet.

Of course, the cheaper one is still Zhao Dezhao.

Wei Xianxin, who followed Zhao Dezhao to greet him, was fascinated by the twins, and when Zhao Dezhao got on the horse, he slapped him. "I have long heard that the Wang family chose a pair of stunning twins, who were raised in the deep boudoir in the past, but I have never seen them, and today I am envious of the new day."

Zhao Dezhao said with a smile: "If you are not afraid that your sister-in-law will be jealous, I will give it to you." ”

"Forget it...... I'm just talking about ......" Wei Xianxin was embarrassed, he was not afraid of his wife, he was afraid of his father.

If he dared to touch the woman who originally belonged to Zhao Dezhao, Wei Renpu could break his leg.

After marrying the bride, the wedding procession immediately began to turn, and now it was the time of unitary, and it was about to get dark.

The sedan chair was raised, and there was a cry when it landed, and for a moment, the sound of the instrument was almost suppressed.

But as soon as the sedan chair went out, a group of old ladies who were crying and marrying were smiling one by one, teasing the young scholars.

Zhao Dezhao was riding on a horse and couldn't see Third Sister Wang, but the two little girls who were married were really delicate and delicate!

Back in the East Palace, the doors of the main hall were all opened, and the third sister Wang was taken, and she was supported by the twins, holding the red silk, and stepped into the main hall step by step.

Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Tingmei all sat in the hall, and under Wei Renpu's arrangement, several people first worshiped heaven and earth, then worshiped the high hall, and then knelt down with the two uncles.

After completing the worship procedure, Zhao Dezhao took the three girls to the middle courtyard from the small door at the back door of the lobby.

The attendants and maids who belonged to the East Palace came to greet them one by one, and then took the Wang family through the apse and into the backyard.

Zhao Dezhao sent Wang Sanjie to her small courtyard all the way to sit on the edge of the new bed skirt before the two of them said the first sentence. "You've been waiting for a long time,...... There is a toilet behind the bed, so if you are hungry, you can also have a snack first. Our husband and wife should be one in the future, not so much exquisite, as long as we are in front of others and do not lose face. ”

Before the third sister Wang was twelve years old, when she did not marry Zhao Dezhao, the two of them had contact, and after they were married, it was the first time they spoke.

Zhao Dezhao's mouth is from the toilet, which makes her ashamed. Through the hijab, she could only whisper back: "Don't worry about the concubine, today is our big day, no matter how hard and tired you are, you don't feel it." ”

Zhao Dezhao looked back at the twins who were a little uncomfortable, and said as gently as possible: "You take good care of the young lady, what do you need, just tell the servants and palace maids." Tomorrow, the affairs of the backyard will be taken care of by your young lady, and you should also be dedicated. ”

The two sisters are generally delicate, and it is impossible to tell which is the older sister and which is the younger sister. Seeing Zhao Dezhao's gentleness, their hearts were also much more settled.

Glancing at each other, the two sisters knelt down together. "The concubine will definitely serve the good lady and the master in the future, and don't let the master worry about trivial matters."

Zhao Dezhao nodded, reached out and grabbed one of their slender arms, and pulled them up. "In a few days, Mrs. Right will enter the door, and the rules will wait for her to enter the door, I am telling you together, these days, I will first familiarize myself with the East Palace."

Looking back, Zhao Dezhao said loudly: "Fetch water and let me and my wife wash it, this face powder is enough to steam steamed buns." ”
