Chapter 156: A Fact (2)

In the main hall of the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat on the chair with an angry face, and the attendants, eunuchs, and maidservants in the palace all knelt on the ground and did not say a word. This situation lasted for two or three incense sticks, and a sound of footsteps of "da-da-da" reached the palace from far and near, and Shen Fan ran in from outside in a panic.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Xiao Yuhuan saw Shen Fan running in, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Lord Shen, how is it?" Did you find it? ”

Shen Fan panted and said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this person is very meticulous, the use of paper and ink is the most common, and everything that can be found is common on the market." This person's handwriting is neat, leaving no clues, including the traces of the branch, which can not be detected at all. It's just that in addition to the common people, it seems that some adults in the court have also seen these things. ”

"Courtiers?" Xiao Yuhuan thought for a while and said, "The person who can contact the courtiers must be a high-ranking person, maybe someone in the palace, or someone outside the palace." Is there any recent situation with Xiao Shuyu? ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, King Nanyang has been very peaceful recently, and there has been no trouble."

"Su'an is also watching here, there is no movement, and I don't seem to have seen anyone."

"His Royal Highness the Prince," Shen Fan leaned in and said, "The old slave has an idea. This kind of thing, whether inside the palace or outside the palace, as long as it is at the feet of the royal family in the capital, it is not easy to do. But if it is an outsider, our eyes may not be able to reach that far. ”

"Outsiders? Hmph" Xiao Yuhuan snorted coldly, "They have lived long enough, find an opportunity, arrange a few people to look around, just get rid of it first." Regardless of whether they are Xiao Shuyu's people or not, as long as they are not the ones who support Prince Ben, it will be a disaster sooner or later. ”

Mu Zhixi: "Shake and shake, there are only ten days left." Can you take care of the good things? ”

"Oops, sister!" Mu Jinggong stood up and pulled Mu Zhixi over and sat down, "Sister, you can rest for a while." Since the sun rises you start to say that the sun is going to go down soon, and you haven't finished talking yet! Sister, are you thirsty? Sister, I'm going to pour you a glass of water? ”

"Jing Gong? Do you know the sun is going down now? There are only ten days left after today, and we are not ready for the marriage of Senior Brother and Ruolin, what will you do if they let them do then? Is that all...... Just such a hasty marriage? Do you know how long we were preparing when I got married? ”

"I know, I know, sister, I know. But we are now in Lujiang County, not in the capital, here in Mocheng, not in Mufu. ”

Mu Zhixi suddenly said sadly: "Mu Mansion no longer exists, and there is no going back." However, the etiquette between Ruolin and the senior brother is the same. ”

Mu Jinggong: "I make the wedding dress with my sister, it's just other things, and I don't know what to prepare."

Mu Zhixi looked at Shang Ling and said, "Shang Ling, didn't you say that everything is on you?" You're going to prepare that thing, right? ”

"Huh?" Shang Ling looked drowsy and suddenly woke up, "What? Stuff? I can prepare, but I don't know what to prepare, and I haven't married anyone else! Otherwise, senior sister, you will tell me what you need to prepare, and I will prepare? ”

"I ......" Mu Zhixi suddenly said a little shyly, "When I got married, my father and mother prepared it together, how do I know what I need......

Shang Ling: "Hey, forget it. At the beginning, he also boasted that Haikou must prepare a marriage ceremony that Ruolin and Ah Xuan will never forget, but now that it is over, none of us present know what to prepare for marriage. ”

Yu Cihe, who was silent on the side, suddenly cleared his throat and said slowly: "According to the folk marriage customs, it should be matchmaking, blind date, ceremony, selection, shopping, opening noodles, wearing velvet flowers, wearing phoenix clothes and phoenix crowns, eating and rice, covering noodles, scattering grain beans, and welcoming relatives." It's just that by now, Senior Brother Xuan and Ruolin have skipped many rules, so they started to prepare directly from the shop. The shop is the day before the wedding, and the woman sends someone to the man's house to build the house with the man. ”

Mo Cheng: "Laying the house? This matter is just the day before the wedding, Miss Ruolin will choose a few people to go to Xuan Gongzi, this is easy to say. ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "After that, it's the opening. A day or two before a woman's marriage, a woman with both children is asked to twist two threads with each other to pluck out the hairs on the face of the woman to be married. ”

Shang Ling: "Woman? Both children? Where do we find such a woman? ”

Mo Cheng: "Although my father-in-law is the lord of the mountain, we are all men here, and there are no women, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."

Mu Jinggong: "What should I do?" You can't just run out on the street and pull someone up the hill, right? Isn't that a good idea? ”

Mu Zhixi: "It's not just bad, I'm afraid I'll be arrested as a flower thief."

When everyone was depressed, the bag on Mu Jinggong's waist suddenly began to shake, Mu Jinggong opened it, and a beam of light jumped out of it. An old man with gray hair stood in front of everyone, but it was more like floating than standing.

"Mother-in-law?" Mu Jinggong exclaimed, "Mother-in-law, why did you come out?" ”

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "I have been listening to you inside, and I heard that you need a woman with children and daughters, and you can't find anyone, so I thought that I, an old woman, might be able to help you, but the old woman and I are ghosts, and I am afraid that you will have taboos on the big day."

Mu Jinggong looked at everyone, and everyone didn't know what to do. After all, this is someone else's marriage gift, even if you don't mind, you can't be sure that others don't mind! Just as I was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door outside.

Mo Cheng walked out to open the door, and everyone's eyes looked at the door. A moment later, Xuan Zhuyi and Ouyang Ruolin walked in and smiled at everyone.

Ouyang Ruolin walked up to the ghost mother-in-law and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, if you are willing to come, I am also grateful, thank you mother-in-law."

Shang Ling: "Ah Xuan? What are you doing here? No, how did you know we were here? ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "I haven't seen you all day, I must have gathered somewhere to discuss something." I searched for it, and sure enough, I heard your voices. ”

Mo Cheng: "Then, Master Xuan, did you hear what we said?"

Xuan Zhuyi: "Almost." In fact...... You don't have to do so much, Ruolin and I got married just because we like each other, some of those rules really don't need to be done, and there are some things that need to be prepared, and you don't have to break the bank. ”

Shang Ling: "That's not good, getting married is a big event in a lifetime, we can't let you regret it in a big matter!"

Ouyang Ruolin: "Actually, Senior Brother and I have discussed, getting married is a matter for the two of us, and we shouldn't have bothered you." But we are all friends, and I think you are really happy for us to do this, and if you don't let you prepare, it will ruin everyone's happiness. What's more, the big day is always lively, and my senior brother and I just hope that the people who get married are each other, so many matters of marriage will be entrusted to you, just be simple, don't have to be too cumbersome, as long as everyone is happy! ”

Mu Zhixi: "Ruolin, we are also relieved to have your words." Rest assured, we will do it all. ”

After Ouyang Ruolin and Xuan Zhuyi left, everyone began to delve into various matters related to marriage, and everyone seemed extremely excited.

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "When a woman gets married, she will wear an extra velvet flower on her head. This velvet flower is made of woven grass into the image of a person, such as a unicorn sending a child. Because the velvet flower is similar to Ronghua, it also has the meaning of glory and wealth. ”

Mu Zhixi: "I know this, I've seen it, and I probably know what it looks like."

Yu Tzu He: "After that, I wear a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown." The phoenix crown is embroidered with phoenix dragon patterns and colorful ornaments, representing auspiciousness and wealth. At first, it was exclusive to the aristocracy, and later it was practiced by ordinary women regardless of whether it was high or low, and then passed on to marriage customs, but it also increased or decreased due to the wealth of the family. ”

Mo Cheng: "Miss Ruolin is everyone's beautiful girl, so she naturally deserves to be a rich and noble marriage custom." Therefore, this wedding dress must not be sloppy, it must be done according to the identity of Ruolin girl. ”

Shang Ling: "That's nature."

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "To eat a harmonious meal, on the day of marriage, before the bride gets on the sedan chair, the man and woman prepare a banquet at home. The younger or younger generations accompany the bride and groom to eat, which is called eating a harmonious meal. The bride wears a headscarf after eating a harmonious meal, and is led by the support to say goodbye to her parents and relatives and friends, and then the person who holds the candle is guided by the person who carries the candle, and goes out of the pavilion into the sedan chair. When the bridegroom finishes eating, he sits on the bed and cannot face outward. ”

Feng Xunyi: "This can be simpler, eating a harmonious meal can also be said to be a farewell banquet, just let us accompany them to eat."

Yu Cihe nodded and continued: "I don't need to say more about the obstacles, naturally you have to prepare a red hijab before getting on the sedan chair." To sprinkle the bean valley is to ask a respectable old woman to carry a dustpan containing the grain and beans and scatter it everywhere. Before the bride gets on the sedan chair, the inside and outside of the sedan chair must be sown. When the sedan chair arrives at the man's door, the bride must be sown before getting off the sedan chair, which is called sprinkling grain beans. And when the bride and groom enter the cave room, and the woman sits on the left and the man on the right side of the new bed, the man must also take the grains, beans, fruits, and coins and scatter them again, which is called scattering the account. One is that the grain bean can ward off evil spirits, and the other is to use plant seeds to wish the bride an early birth of a precious child. ”

Mu Jinggong: "This is also simple, as long as my mother-in-law is willing." The ghost mother-in-law looked at Mu Jinggong from the side and nodded.

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Then there is one last step left, welcome your family." The wedding banquet is held, the woman's family prepares the wedding wine in the morning, and the man's family holds a wedding feast at noon. After that, the man's house played music and sent a sedan chair to welcome his relatives. The matchmaker leads, followed by the groom, bridesmaids, sedan chairs, bands, and gift box teams. Before the sedan chair comes, the female family should prepare a wedding feast. The girl should be combed by her mother or sister, twisted the hair off her face with silk threads, put on makeup, called "open face", and then covered her head with a red cloth and waited for the sedan chair to welcome her relatives. After that, there are many rules for marrying and saluting, which only need to be informed to Ruolin at that time, but I think Ruolin also knows. ”

Shang Ling: "Then we need to prepare wedding dresses, red hijabs, chicken, duck and fish, red lanterns, as well as various grains, wine, and things that need to be arranged." As soon as the words fell, Shang Ling lay on the table and wailed, "Oops! It's troublesome enough to get married, so troublesome, I don't want to get married in the future! ”
