Chapter 668 - Simplified Version
"Play music, gift to the newlyweds!"
Chen Xu saluted Qin Shihuang and Concubine Yun again, and then said goodbye to several princes of the royal family one by one, and then led Ying Shiyan to board the wedding car to welcome his relatives.
Gongzi Fusu and Gongzi Gao, as well as several royal princes as the team to send off relatives, also wore neat brocade robes, sat in a carriage, and followed behind with more than ten carts of wedding gifts, which made the procession more lively.
"Fifth sister, we will often go to the Hou Mansion to play with you~~"
The wedding car started, and a group of little princesses laughed and shouted from behind.
Sitting in the spacious and luxurious wedding car, Ying Shiyan wiped her tears and poked her head out of the window to wave desperately, as the bumpy carriage went farther and farther, she was soon drowned out by the lively Xianyang people, and she could only hear the continuous sound of gongs and drums and cheers.
Watching Chen Xu's welcoming convoy walk away, Qin Shihuang's smiling face slowly calmed down, "Jiancheng Hou, quickly send the matchmaker to the Imperial Doctor's Mansion, and Xu will marry the Mengshi Nuwanniang and Jingyang Hou as his wife today!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jiancheng Hou Zhaohai, who was dressed in a brocade robe with black beard and white face, hurriedly agreed, and then drove away in the car with the edict in hand.
"Zhao Wei, quickly prepare the reward and send it to the Qinghe Marquis Mansion!"
"Your Majesty!" Shaofu Ling, who is also a member of the royal family, Zhao Wei stood up and left in the car with an edict in his hand!
This wedding to marry the princess was very strange, it was originally to go to the Huayu Palace in Jingyang County to greet the relatives, but for some reason a few days before the wedding, the emperor ordered it to be changed to meet the relatives in the palace.
When a princess gets married, she usually has a fief, and she will not leave her fief after she gets married, but Ying Shiyan does not have a fief, but she hastily repairs a Huayu Palace in Jingyang County, but the emperor doesn't seem to have any intention of letting Ying Shiyan move over.
In other words, Chen Xuying's marriage to Ying Shiyan is actually similar to marrying other civilian daughters, and there will be no red tape to abide by in the future, and when you don't need to be intimate with Ying Shiyan, you have to go to Huayu Palace.
In this era, the status of the son-in-law is very low, called the son-in-law, that is, into the son-in-law, even if he marries the princess as a concubine, the status is not high, in addition to the identity of the royal family relatives in fact, it is not very popular with the royal family, and it is not free, the princess can not leave the fiefdom, then the concubine can only honestly live in the princess's fiefdom, which is equivalent to living with the princess in general, even if you want to sleep happily with the princess, you can only go to the princess's house.
At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang married his eldest daughter to Wang Qian, but Ying Yuanyan's fief was in Liyang, so Wang Jian wanted to complete the task of Princess Ri or ran from Pinyang's hometown to Liyang Palace to sleep Ying Yuanyan and couldn't marry home to sleep, this is an ancient rite, it is the supreme right of the royal family, and no one can surpass it.
But this time it was Chen Xu's turn, but the emperor completely abandoned this set of ancient rites, first named Chen Xu as the Marquis of Jingyang, and then repaired the Huayu Palace to Jingyang County, in fact, it was in disguise to marry Ying Shiyan to Chen Xu according to the habit of ordinary folk marrying daughters, because Ying Shiyan's palace was in Chen Xu's fiefdom, which was something that had never happened before.
For example, Meng Yun married the fourth princess and had to live in the palace of the fourth princess, but Meng Yun seems to have a very general relationship with the four princesses, after all, it is the result of a forced marriage, so he does not go back often, so he bought a house in the city, the area is not large, only more than ten acres, and he raised a few concubines to have fun, and now he is in charge of the paper mill under the Ministry of Industry, and he is busy all day long and does not return home. Meng Yun didn't like it either, so he went back even less.
In general, this was a very obvious era of male superiority and inferiority, especially for the aristocracy, and the status of women in the family was very low.
Even if the princess marries, the emperor can't control her future life.
Even if the emperor knew that Meng Yun left his daughter in the fief and kept the empty room alone, and he was happy outside all day long, he would not say anything, the princess marriage is just a political need, anyway, all the nobles who married out of the daughter dare not take a break, this is a recognition of the royal identity, that is to say, marrying the princess is basically a relative of the royal family, the identity is bound, and the royal family is in trouble, these people will jump out to help, if they don't help, the royal family will be unlucky, and these relatives will also be unlucky.
But in the face of Chen Xu, a guy with a very special identity, Qin Shi Huang is very concerned about marrying a daughter, and he is also very urgent, using a daughter to bind a disciple of the immortal family, this is a super cost-effective deal, if one can't work, then two, and even at the expense of forcing his number one dog-legged Meng Yi to catch his thirteen-year-old daughter, anyway, he is trying every means to stuff his daughter into Chen Xu, and it must be alive and can be ruined.
And Chen Xu is almost familiar with the emperor's extra kindness to him, after all, this kind of irregularity is very loud and widely discussed, but in view of Chen Xu's special status, everyone understands it.
No matter how noble the emperor's identity is, it is not as high as Taiyi Immortal.
No matter how noble the princess's identity is, she can't be as high as a disciple of the immortal family.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Qin Shi Huang added another marquis to Chen Xu for the first time, which was directly sealed in Jingyang, and then his daughter's palace was directly built on Chen Xu's fief.
This meaning is very clear, that is, everything about this daughter is under your control, you can sleep wherever you like, anyway, it is all in your fiefdom, and you don't have to abide by any ancient etiquette and royal etiquette, I ...... What I want is to let the people of the world see that the immortal disciple Qinghe Marquis is married to my daughter, he is my son-in-law, he is a relative of the royal family, and the son born after the princess is my grandson, once this marriage becomes a fact, no one can deny it, including Chen Xu himself, if someone wants to rebel against Daqin one day, all the rebellious people must weigh it first, and they can resist the pressure of the ancient immortal Taiyi Immortal Venerable, and resist the threat of the immortal disciple Chen Xu Taiyi Shenlei.
Although not everyone liked the emperor's habit of sending his daughter in the jungle, Chen Xu really liked it.
For the knowledgeable and gentle and beautiful fifth princess, Chen Xu did not have much reason and courage to refuse.
He has already refused once, if he refuses again, it will inevitably make Qin Shi Huang feel guilty, not to mention that in order to achieve his wish, he also gave him Meng Wan, who is known as the most powerful and beautiful little lady in Xianyang, it is better to offend the emperor, but offending an old rascal like Meng Yi, Chen Xu is actually uneasy in his heart.
Because this old rascal is more difficult to deal with than Zhao Gao.
People like Zhao Gao are serious villains.
But Meng Yi is a serious hypocrite.
It is better to offend a real villain than a hypocrite, this is the lesson of thousands of years of history.
What's more, traveling to ancient times, as a high-ranking aristocratic marquis, marrying three wives definitely belongs to the simplified version, because three wives and four concubines are the standard, and a group of wives and concubines is a high match, and marrying hundreds or thousands of them is ...... It is a rebellion, only the emperor can open a harem, and it is almost the same for ordinary nobles to open a backyard, while ordinary people can only open the back door and marry a wife.
According to the arrangement of welcoming relatives, Chen Xu followed the welcoming convoy out of the east gate, and then went around outside the city to enter the south gate, and finally came to the Qinghe Marquis Mansion.
The Hou Mansion has long been decorated with lights, and the arrangement is very luxurious, the gate and courtyard walls have been repainted, and the inside and outside of the courtyard have been re-cleaned.
When the convoy returned, Chen Jiang and Shui Qingrou led all the housekeepers and servants in the house to greet them outside the door, and the carriages outside the door were lined up one after another in several nearby streets.
Xu Fu led a group of people from the health center, Chen Ping led a group of people from the newspaper, Shi Xuan led a group of people from the Women's College, Sun Shujiong and Zhang Cang led a group of people from the Academy of Sciences and factories, Hu Kuan led a group of people from the College of Engineering, Song Yan and other shareholders of the bus company, a group of people from the Dongfang Road Engineering Headquarters led by Yang Kun, a group of people from Huaxia Qianzhuang led by Fan Caiying, and a group of Xianyang businessmen such as Qi Mao, there were at least more than 300 people, all of them are dressed in fine clothes and jade belts around the waist, plus the people who watch the excitement, several streets at the gate of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion are almost surrounded by water, if it were not for the forbidden army of the Lieutenant's Mansion to help maintain order, the convoy to welcome relatives would not have been able to enter at all.
"It's coming, it's coming, the Hou Ye is back!"
As some people shouted at the intersection, and then listened to the sound of gongs and drums getting closer and closer, and the cheers of the audience along the way, the family and guests in the Hou Mansion also began to stir, many people stood on tiptoe to look, and some children and young students climbed directly to the courtyard walls and big trees on both sides of the street to watch.
"Firecrackers, drums!"
Seeing that the convoy had appeared, with a loud roar from the housekeeper, the two servants of the Hou Mansion lit two strings of firecrackers hanging on the giant panda statue at the door.
With the sound of crackling firecrackers and the billowing of green smoke, the two rows of gongs and drums at the gate of the Hou Mansion were also beaten by the servants.
The whole street was bustling with joy, with many children picking up firecrackers that had not exploded, and some of them began to scramble for candy, chestnuts and coins that fell overhead.
"The bride enters the house~"
With a long shout from the master of ceremonies, the carriage to welcome the relatives stopped at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and in the sound of crackling firecrackers, the four-wheeled carriage opened, and Chen Xu led the princess wearing auspicious clothes to answer shyly from the car.
"Oh~~Princess, come down~" Countless wild children cheered in the crowd.
"Wow, the princess is so beautiful!" Countless people couldn't help but exclaim.
"The fifth princess is gentle and beautiful, and she is knowledgeable, and she has long been in love with the Marquis of Qinghe, and this marriage is really destined by heaven!" Someone in the crowd started communicating.
