Chapter 303: Marriage
Outside the General's Mansion, the long red carpet stretched from the street to the hall where the wedding was held in the mansion, Li Ze and Liu Ruyan each held one end of the red silk, and slowly walked forward on the red carpet.
Zhang Hui, who acted as the master of ceremonies, shaved his beard clean today, put on a formal gift, and sang loudly with a smile: "The jade phoenix raises its feet to the fire, and the fierce gods hide on both sides." Joy descends from the sky to the blessed nest, and the good days are prosperous!"
Li Ze and Liu Ruyan both stepped over the brazier.
Across them was a saddle.
"A piece of sandalwood, carved into a jade saddle, the newcomer stepped over, and kept safe every step." Zhang Hui's voice sounded again, and a pair of newcomers stepped across the saddle in front of them again.
"There is food and clothing, generation after generation, one sprinkles gold, two sprinkles silver, and three sprinkles newcomers enter the hall."
Li Ze and Liu Ruyan stepped over the rice bag in front of them and walked into the wedding hall.
Speaking of which, although Li Ze is well-read, he doesn't know anything about the marriage procedures of the Tang Dynasty, because since he woke up, he has been thinking about surviving, then surviving, and now he is thinking about how to become strong and change the world.
Weddings or anything were not on his radar at all.
But fortunately, now his status does not need him to think about it anymore, everything has someone to think of for him, do it well, what he has to do is to be the groom today.
And the master of ceremonies Zhang Hui is even more famous, and being able to invite such a person to preside over the wedding for him made the style of Li Ze's wedding immediately rise several notches.
Because of Zhang Hui, even in this Chang'an City, a Confucian Qingliu who does not have much affection for a military leader like Li Ze has to come to the scene, send a gift, or calligraphy and painting, or poetry, and then drink a glass of wine, of course, this is not to give Li Ze face, but to Zhang Hui's face.
Li Ze finally heard Zhang Hui's loud voice shouting a few words that he had been waiting for for a long time. Hearing these words, Li Ze knew that the wedding had finally come to an end.
An arrow shoots every day to give good fate,
A bow wrapped in red silk, a feather arrow with an arrow was handed to Li Ze's hand, Li Ze bent the bow and took the arrow, and with a bang, the arrow flew into the air.
An arrow shoots the ground, and the ground is matched with a pair.
He bent his bow and shot an arrow into the ground outside the hall.
Three arrows shoot the cave room, and three arrows determine the world. The bridegroom takes the bride into the cave room.
In the goodwill laughter of the full house, Li Ze took the bride and walked towards the cave room under the protection of a group of servants.
Zhang Hui's voice came from behind him: "Everyone, please take a seat, enjoy the food and wine." ”
Liu Ruyan sat on the wedding bed, and Li Ze stood in the middle of the room, not knowing what to do for a while, until a servant woman presented a wedding pole and said with a smile: "Please uncle pick a wedding pat for Mrs." Only then did Li Ze react.
took the joy rod, smiled and walked to Liu Ruyan, the joy rod slowly stretched out under the Xipa, slightly picked, but what he saw was not Liu Ruyan's fancy face, but a fan, covering most of the face, leaving only a pair of big eyes and forehead outside.
Li Ze was stunned for a moment, but fortunately he reacted immediately, wanting the bride to put down the fan, and he still had to chant a fan poem!
He doesn't know how to compose poems, but fortunately, there is a chapter under his command, and a big guy like Gongsun Changming has been prepared for a long time.
"The wind in the city is cold, and the brocade curtain is open. It is known that the Qin girl ascended to the immortal state, and Hugh lightly separated the peony. Lady, please go fan! Li Ze said with a smile.
The fan moved away instantly, but Liu Ruyan, who appeared in front of Li Ze, startled him, the Liu Ruyan in front of him still had the kind of beauty in his daily life, the whole face was white with powder, and the two blushes were so conspicuous against the white background, and what was even worse was that between the two red lips, a red mark the size of a thumb was also painted, in Li Ze's eyes, Liu Ruyan at this time was like a ghost in hell, especially when he smiled at him, Li Ze was even more slightly cold.
Tang Shi's makeup, he really can't appreciate it.
"Please Lang Jun and the lady have a glass of wine." Fortunately, the middle-aged servant woman came over with a tray at this time, which finally resolved Li Ze's embarrassment.
After drinking a glass of wine, Li Ze tried his best not to look at Liu Ruyan's ghostly face in front of him, and said with a chuckle: "Lady, please rest for a while, I have to go outside to have a look." ”
"Lang Jun, please!" Liu Ruyan said in a low voice.
A few years ago, weddings were generally held at dusk, a whole set of procedures, it was already a bright light, the bride and groom were naturally worth a thousand gold at the moment of the spring festival, but at this time, most of the weddings were held in the early morning, although Li Ze's wedding was cumbersome, but at this time, it was just after noon, of course, it couldn't be a good night, Li Ze still had to go outside to call the guests.
Today, the important people in Chang'an are almost all gathered together, and even several minds from the three provinces of Shangshu under the Zhongshu Sect are also gathered together, and others do not accompany them.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Liu Ruyan's voice came from behind him: "Mother Xie, Mother Xie, come and fetch water, help me wash my face, oops, itchy, uncomfortable." ”
"Big lady, I'm afraid that this is inappropriate, Lang Jun will be unhappy. Oh, big lady, don't mess up your makeup! ”
"Fetch water, wash it off!"
Liu Ruyan's voice was very resolute.
Hearing this, Li Ze couldn't help but smile happily, it seems that the new daughter-in-law, at least in terms of aesthetics, still has a common language with herself, whether she is really uncomfortable or because she saw her expression just now and insisted on removing her makeup.
No matter what big names come today, but at the banquet, the groom is always the biggest, and Li Ze, who is in his prime, makes these old men in the banquet jealous, and it can't help but because Li Ze is happy to get married, and because Li Ze has the qualifications to be compared with them at such an age.
If an ordinary official gets married, they show their faces when they come to the scene, drink a glass of wine and walk, that is already giving others the face of heaven, but at today's table, they have to drink until the banquet is finished, otherwise, they will be rude to Li Ze.
It is precisely for this reason that even Zhongshu Ling Wangshu, who is not usually dealt with, and Zhongtian Lingzi, the provincial servant under his door, are also the same enemy today, and they aimed at Li Ze, and the circle of wine was saluted, and Li Ze couldn't help but drink bitterly, fortunately, these wines were not the high-grade wine produced in his own Zhuangzi, otherwise, Li Ze would have laid down a long time ago.
After three rounds of wine, the emperor's gift arrived.
A plaque written by the emperor himself was sent by gongs and drums. I can't say it, Li Ze and the bride Liu Ruyan are going to come out to thank you.
Li Ze's face was full of red light, and it was needless to say that he was swaying, Liu Ruyan, who took off the bride's makeup, attracted the attention of most people, and even the eunuchs who came to announce the decree looked at the bride a few more times in surprise, which made Liu Ruyan regret it.
This makeup is removed early.
This is not over, the emperor's envoy has just left, the queen mother, the queen's gift has arrived again, compared to the emperor is just a shabby plaque, the queen mother's gift is extremely affordable, silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, full of several picks.
After a few commotions, the bigwigs also said goodbye one after another, and their goals were achieved, whether it was the emperor or the queen mother's envoys, they all saw them drinking at the general's place in harmony, and that's it.
After sending these dignitaries away, Li Ze was not more relaxed, because the banquet had been from noon to evening at this time, and those who were still in the house at this time could be called their own people. Dealing with those high-ranking officials and nobles, Li Ze can still dodge and dodge, but in front of his own people, there is no way to dodge, and there is no way to dodge.
There is no size for the three days of the wedding. The guards who followed Li Ze to Beijing, led by Chen Changping, Li Mi, and Yeluqi, came up to toast one by one, Li Ze was all dry from cup to glass, and finally Zhang Hui Gongsun Changming spoke, and Li Ze was able to thank all the guards for their kindness with a glass of wine, and then he was able to get out.
On the night of the candles in the cave room, the title of the gold list is that it is the second happy event in life, but when Li Ze staggered back to the cave room with the support of a large number of people, the whole person stumbled a little.
The servants smiled and said they were happy, and they quit the new house one by one, of course, by the way, they also drove away Zhang Hui and Gongsun Changming, who were disrespectful to the old outside the room. Li Ze's subordinates naturally didn't have the courage to listen to the cave room, these two were incompatible, but at this time, they became allies, of course, in the scolding and driving away of Liu Ruyan and a few fierce servants, they could only leave in disgust.
In the new house, the red candle was suddenly extinguished.
"Ah, why is it so big?" In the darkness, Li Ze stammered a little, but with some surprise.
"Xianggong, what's the big deal?" The bride's shy voice rang out
"I mean here!"
"Oops, you hurt me." There was a snap, and a crisp sound came from inside the room. "I'm ashamed."
"Husband and wife Dunlun, Renlun Avenue, where is the shame." In the darkness, there was the sound of eating and laughing. "By the way, when I leave Chang'an in the future, you can't wear clothes with open collars like that."
"Why, it's so beautiful, I couldn't wear it before, but I can wear it later."
"I can't wear it in the future, because I'm going to eat a lot of food."
Outside the window, the servants who drove away Zhang Hui and Gongsun Changming, covered their mouths, and left the window with a smile.
