Chapter 5: The Rites

Chun Yunian had been thinking about how his biological mother had taken a fancy to her father, and after getting along last night, she knew that it was not difficult to like her father. Chun Yujia has a good figure and good looks, even if he is old now, he can still see how dignified he was when he was young. The most important thing is to be gentle with others, and it will also make people happy, which can give people enough security.

Last night, she finally stopped crying, Chun Yujia rolled up her sleeves and wiped her tears and said with a smile: "When I left, I also cried for my father like this, how could I come back like this?" Didn't you have a dream for your father, my little Nian'er hasn't grown up yet? ”

She shook her head and chuckled, "Let my father laugh......"

He gently patted his daughter's shoulder, "silly boy......" said, looked around and said to his wife behind him: "Ming'er will add two more subordinates to come over, take these two sisters around Nian'er to familiarize themselves with the environment of the house, and in autumn, you can add some clothes for them to change the season." ”

Zhang smiled: "I've already made arrangements, Nian'er will rest tonight, and I'll let the tailor come over early tomorrow morning." ”

Chun Yujia nodded, and turned to his daughter: "Then you can rest early tonight, your mother will come over tomorrow, for your father to have something in the court tomorrow, and come back at noon to see you." ”

She answered, and when she saw that her father was leaving, she got up to say goodbye, "Father and mother also rest early." ”

Coming out of her daughter's room, Chun Yujia said to his wife: "I'll work hard for you tomorrow, so let's rest tonight." With that, he went to the moon gate on the right. It was where Zhan Yuli lived before her death, and he lived there most of the time since her death.

Zhang looked at her husband's back and laughed self-deprecatingly, she had never thought that he would be a person with half a child before he brought Zhan Yuli home. But since Zhan Youli came, he has become different, he will care about people, he will think about the firewood, rice, oil and salt at home, but he will only care about that person and her daughter.

There is no one who doesn't love, it's just that the other person doesn't love themselves. She thought like this, but she didn't feel much sadness, if she didn't love it, she didn't love it, she was a grandmother, and she didn't bother to pay attention to these children's affections.

But it was said that Chun Yujia had just returned to the bedroom and saw his youngest son wandering outside the door, and he shouted: "Chuan'er, don't you rest so late?" ”

Chun Yuchuan bowed, "The child encountered something on the way back, so he came over to tell his father." ”

He looked at his son with a solemn face, frowned slightly, pushed open the door and said, "Come in and say." ”

……

The old man in Chunyu's mansion vaguely knew that there was a second girl in the mansion, who had been raised outside for many years, but to avoid extraneous branches, after Chun Yuchuan left to Qingzhou to pick up people, Zhang's replaced all the people in the mansion, gave a lot of silver taels and sent them far away, and gave a gag order - if there are any rumors and rumors about Chunyufu outside in the future, then don't blame the ruthlessness of the master. Therefore, the newcomers did not have any disrespect or doubts about Chun Yu Nian, and they were all bowing their heads to prepare for her ceremony.

Speaking of which, Chun Yunian's birthday happened to be August 15, but because her birth was her mother's death day, she didn't care about her birthday since she was a child, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was dull. But this year is different, she is now Chun Yujia's young daughter, and this year is the year of the concubine, so she naturally has to do a big job.

After the woman performed the ceremony, she represented the marriage, and the person she promised to marry was Zhao Huan, the Marquis of Wude, the future emperor, so the pomp and specifications of this ceremony were much higher than that of the eldest sister Chun Yuran.

It is worth mentioning that after Chun Yuran performed the ceremony last year, he promised Ouyang Jie, the son of the great Situ Ouyang Jue, who was the mother family of the Empress Dowager Ouyang and a relative of the imperial family.

After knowing this, Chun Yu Nian realized that it was a helpless move for his father to send her to the palace, the eldest daughter had promised to be married, and he would not do such a shameless thing as regretting marriage, and the youngest daughter Chun Yuxi was a straw bag, not to mention that she could control the harem when she was sent to the palace, and it would be good to hope that she could live. It is estimated that the father also thought about it before deciding to take her back, probably because he was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, compared to power, what is the marriage of children?

In a blink of an eye, on the fifteenth day of August, legend has it that Chang'e was forced by Fengmeng, and had no choice but to swallow the elixir and ascend, originally thinking that she could become an immortal, but she never wanted to fly to the Moon Palace but became a toad. When Xiao Zhanchu told her, she cried loudly, saying that Chang'e was so pitiful. It wasn't until Xiao Zhan said that Chang'e was still the same after her ascension, and that he lied to herself, that she stopped crying and asked in disbelief, is it true?

She had nightmares that night, and in the middle of the night she got up and knocked on her grandfather's door, saying that she had become a toad. Because of this, she was very disgusted and afraid of toads, even goosebumps that could fall to the ground when she saw frogs, and the tea pets at home were also thrown away by her.

"What is the girl laughing at?" The grandmother who combed her hair asked with a smile.

She told the story of Chang'e running to the moon again, and her mother's face sank when she heard it, "Which plague is this made up?" ”

Chun Yu Nian: "......" grandfather, Nian'er didn't mean it.

At this time, Nanxing came in from outside the door, saying that the auspicious time had arrived, and asked the girl to go out.

She was dressed in light pink, and was helped by Nanxing to the door, and then led into the family temple by Chun Yuran, who served as the praiser, first met her parents and brothers, and then the guests. When she saw the people on the first seat in the west, she couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat, and her father actually invited Zhao Huan to watch the ceremony.

Compared with Chun Yu Nian's surprise, Zhao Huan looked relaxed, and only smiled at Chun Yu Nian's salute, and nothing else. She collected the look on her face and turned to salute the guests to the east.

After the salute, she knelt facing north and waited for the officiant to add a flute. The officiant was Ouyang Jue's wife Zhao, Zhao Huan's eldest daughter, and Zhao Huan's aunt.

The daughter made a salute, invited the eldest princess, not to mention, but also invited the emperor who was about to ascend the throne, which shows Chun Yujia's monstrous power and the importance of this daughter, all the guests thought.

The eldest princess stepped forward and said with a congratulatory speech: "On the auspicious day of the month, the first Canadian yuan is served." Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. Yu Ba also knelt down in front of Chun Yu Nian, took the comb from the plate offered by Yousi, simply combed her hair, and then inserted the hairpipe.

Another person who has a priest to help the officiant get up, Chun Yuran helps Chun Yunian to get up, and bows to his parents to thank him for his nurturing grace, which is the first and first bows. After the ceremony, Chun Yuran helped her back to the room, changed into a silver Qiu Ju waist-length skirt and came out again, and bowed again.

The eldest princess chanted a congratulatory speech: "Auspicious moon Lingchen, Nashen Erfu." Respect for the majesty, the grace of the soot. Eyebrows live for 10,000 years, and will always be blessed by Hu. After that, as before, comb her hair, change the hairpin and hairpin.

Chun Yu Nian got up and bowed to the eldest princess to thank the elders for their crowning.

After three bows and three overtime, she changed into an ivory-colored wide-sleeved gown, which was also an ivory-colored light-collared double, and the skirt was a dark yellow waist-length skirt, which really lined her a little calmer.

"With the right of the year, with the order of the month, the salty gar is served. Brothers are there, in order to become a virtue. The astragalus is boundless, and it is celebrated by the sky. After the eldest princess finished her greeting, she changed her hairpin and put on a hair crown.

It is a golden phoenix Yu Fei's hair crown, according to the system of etiquette and music, ordinary people are not allowed to use phoenix pattern utensils, but Chun Yu Nian is the future queen, and it is not considered arrogant to use this phoenix crown, saying that it is not necessarily allowed by the queen mother.

After the ceremony, she saluted her brother and sister-in-law and all the guests, and Chun Yujia took her to see everyone one by one, "This is Wu Dehou." ”

"Wude Hou'an." She bent over.

Zhao Huan smiled, looked at her and asked, "Do you dare to ride a horse?" ”

She also smiled, her face shy, "I don't dare to ride in the city." ”

Chun Yujia was confused, and when she was about to ask her daughter, she heard Zhao Huan laugh and say: "That day, the second girl returned to the city with the second master, and the second girl's horse was frightened and scared her a lot. ”

"And such a thing?" He asked his daughter with a turn of his eyes.

"It's all trivial, and I'm afraid that my father will be worried, so I didn't say it, but I almost collided with His Highness, and I hope to forgive my sins." As he spoke, he saluted again.

Zhao Huan helped the person up, "It's all right, you're fine." ”

Everyone saw the conversation and laughter of these two people, and they all had their own calculations in their hearts. This new emperor, except for being gentle, really doesn't see any ability, and it seems that he is an unreliable puppet.

Chun Yujia took her to meet the other guests, and after a round of salutes, it was the last item of the ritual - taking words.

Unlike men, the word for a woman is taken by her parents or elders, but by her husband-to-be after the marriage is decided. Chun Yunian's marriage was decided long ago, and the reason why the word was not taken was because Chun Yunian was in Qingzhou at the time, and secondly, when she wanted to follow her ceremony, Zhao Huan took it on the spot. This can not only reflect the dignity and particularity of Chun Yu Nian's identity, but also highlight the status and power of Chun Yu's clan, and by the way, the prestige of this little emperor among the courtiers, why not?

Chun Yu thought about this clearly, but he didn't know how Zhao Huan would feel.

"The second girl's name is Nian, and the thought has the meaning of nostalgia, called Huaisi, what does the second girl think?" He asked her with a pen in his hand.

"Thank you Wudehou for the word." She silently recited it twice in her mind, and did not feel that there was anything wrong.

Seeing that she agreed, he took up a pen and wrote down the word Huaisi and handed it to her.

Chun Yu Nian saluted and thanked him, and was helped out by Nanxing. Chun Yujia stepped forward and bowed his hand to everyone: "There is a thin wine in the back hall, please be sure to appreciate it." ”

She didn't know what to think of, she glanced back, she originally wanted to find Chun Yuchuan, but when she met Zhao Huan's gaze, she couldn't help but be a little stunned. Zhao Huan smiled and nodded. When everyone saw this, they looked for his gaze, and saw Chun Yunian's back shyly turning his face away, and he was helped out by the maid.

The eldest princess glanced at Zhao Huan quietly, sighed secretly in her heart, and happened to be Mrs. Chunyu stepped forward to talk to her, she immediately put on a smile and went in with her.

Chun Yujia was happy to see the little emperor's amorous appearance, and hurriedly stepped forward to beckon him into the back hall.
