211 Big Wedding
On this day, the inner city of the capital was full of joy, because today was the day of the princess's wedding.
As a princess, she naturally will not be called to marry like ordinary women, but should be called out or down.
The process of its exit and surrender also has its own set of strict rules, which are mainly responsible for the whole process by the Zongren Mansion.
First of all, the Qin Tianjian will choose the date of surrender, and then issue a list to announce it in the whole capital, clearly ordering that everyone in the capital is not allowed to marry on this day, so as not to conflict with the princess's wedding date.
After setting a date, a month before the wedding, the Holy Lord would order the Zongrenfu to inspect the princess's dowry items so as not to miss them.
On the day of the wedding, the horse master wore civilian clothes, wore a jade belt, and rode to the Hening Gate.
Then change into official clothes there, go to Donghua Gate, use wild geese, coins and silks as dowry gifts, and personally go to the princess's residence to marry the bride.
At this time, the princess must wear a crown of nine feathers and four phoenixes, wear a wedding dress embroidered with long-tailed pheasants and light red sleeves, sit in a sedan chair without barriers, and set off towards the princess's mansion under the guidance of the horse.
After the bride was welcomed to the princess's house, the princess met her in-laws for the first time and served them to wash and eat, and then the princess and the horse had a meal for the newlyweds.
After the ceremony, all guests will attend the banquet of nine lamps rewarded by the emperor in the princess's palace.
The banquet was co-hosted by the officials of the Zongren Mansion and the concubine, and after the banquet was over, the concubine welcomed the princess into the cave room, and the wedding officially ended.
On the third day after the wedding, the princess and the concubine entered the palace together to thank her. In addition to rewarding the newlyweds, the emperor would arrange banquets in the inner court.
After the banquet, the princess will go back to the princess's mansion with the concubine, greet her in-laws, and then return to the princess's mansion.
That's how the whole wedding went.
Because Princess Yanfang is the only princess in the palace and the only daughter who is favored by the saints, on the day of her wedding, almost all the nobles and officials in the capital came to the princess's mansion to congratulate her.
After all, it is a royal celebration, who dares not to give face.
As for how many people came to congratulate them sincerely, it is difficult to say.
Because the concubine who descended from Princess Yanfang was the second grandson of Duke An Guo, this was not a good marriage for many civil officials who supported the eldest prince.
As the newly crowned Jing Wenbo, Chi Fei was also fortunate to participate in this wedding banquet.
Chi Fei was afraid that he would not know the rules and fall into his mouth, so he originally planned to go with his father-in-law.
But he was soon told that his father-in-law, Ning Zhiyuan, wanted to go to the scene in advance as a guest to watch the ceremony.
This is not something that everyone can do, only those who are high enough or the princess's maiden family can afford it.
The eldest sister Ning Yashan was married to Qiu Yuchen, the second son of Princess Qingping, and she was also the princess's mother's family, so she also watched the ceremony as a guest.
As for Chi Fei, an outsider who makes soy sauce, he only needs to participate in the Jiulan banquet held in the evening.
Originally, her mother-in-law, Yao, was supposed to go to the ceremony, but she was a little uncomfortable with the wind cold in the past two days, so she didn't go.
Since his father-in-law and eldest sister were not there, Chi Fei had no choice but to take Ah Zhi to the banquet alone in the evening.
Due to the large number of people who went to congratulate them, the street leading to the princess's mansion was crowded with horse-drawn carriages and was a mess.
Chi Fei and the others waited in the carriage for nearly half an hour, and when Ah Zhi was almost a little impatient, it was finally their turn to enter the mansion.
Under the guidance of the subordinates, Chi Fei entered through the main gate of the front yard, while Ah Zhi was taken to the backyard where the ladies were entertained.
Before leaving, Ah Zhi whispered, "Brother, when you leave, call someone to go to the backyard to inform me." ”
Chi Fei knew what she meant, she wanted to end it early and go back early.
This girl has always had little interest in this kind of crowded social situation, and usually avoids it, although he is also the same.
"Got it. Aren't you very familiar with Miss Cao's family, and you'll stay with her then. ”
"Well, I'm leaving." Ah Zhi reluctantly followed the servant woman who led the way and left.
Although he had long heard that the saint had gone to great lengths to prepare for the construction of the princess's mansion, it was the first time for Chi Fei to come here.
I saw that the princess's mansion was indeed as rumored, covering a very wide area, and it was not inferior to the Zhenguo Mansion.
The decoration of the house is not too luxurious, but takes the garden route.
On both sides of the long corridor, you can see rockeries and strange stones, small bridges and flowing water everywhere, which looks very elegant.
Between the front and back yards, there is a large artificial lake as a separation.
Each lake has a large garden, and the rumored maple grove is just south of the artificial lake.
The maple trees in the forest were naturally transplanted from other places, and it was autumn when the maple leaves turned red, and from a distance, they looked like a fire, which was very magnificent.
Those who know how to transplant such a large maple forest will cost no less than building this mansion.
The cost of this princess's mansion is huge, you can imagine.
Compared with this maple forest, those luxurious carved paintings and Qionglou Yuyu seem a little ordinary.
After all, the nobles and officials who can come here have long passed the aesthetic period of the outbreak, and although the buildings in the mansion are extremely exquisite and luxurious, it is not that they have not seen it in other places, and they are a little strange.
Because Chi Fei came alone, not many people had seen him, so not many people present knew that he was the newly sealed Jing Wenbo of the Holy Lord. In addition, he is too young, and most people think that he is a child of a certain family or a newly appointed petty official.
For this kind of situation that no one knows, if a person who wants to integrate into the upper class society may feel very embarrassed and distressed, but it is a good thing for Chi Fei, saving him from having to spend time entertaining others.
Whether it was before or now, he is still the otaku who doesn't like to entertain and please others, and this will not change.
After looking around, he sat down in a corner where no one was around, and waited for the feast to begin.
Regarding the nine feasts, Chi Fei asked Zhang's mother in the house to know what was going on.
Zhan, in ancient times, means big bowl. Nine lamps means that there are nine main dishes at each table, so it is called the Nine Lamps Banquet.
In ancient times, only the emperor would be called the Ninety-Five Supreme, so these nine feasts could only be held by royal people.
At this time, the subordinates of the palace were mainly divided into two parts, one part was responsible for entertaining guests, and the other part was responsible for arranging and arranging the tables and chairs for the banquet.
Chi Fei was sharp-eyed and found that there were many servants dressed as white-faced and beardless and soft-spoken, which was obviously different from ordinary servants.
If he guessed correctly, these should be the eunuchs in the palace, who were temporarily transferred to help.
Due to the large number of guests, not only the main hall was full, but even the outside of the garden was full of tables and chairs.
Fortunately, this princess's mansion is big enough, otherwise it would not be able to accept so many guests.
But think about it, this wedding banquet invited almost all the nobles and officials in the capital, and the number of people was naturally indispensable.
Because the nobles of the family and the literati who relied on the imperial examination to become officials have always looked at each other unpleasantly, the location of this banquet is also faintly divided into two halves.
On one side are the nobles of the family, and on the other side are the officials of the imperial examination, and the two are distinct.
Chi Fei, as the newly sealed Jing Wenbo, was naturally assigned to Xungui's side.
He was taken by the valet to the table on the east side of the main hall near the door, and with him sat another family.
Chi Fei was pleasantly surprised to find that the owner of that family turned out to be his old acquaintance: Mr. Cao, the owner of Juyazhai.
"Good evening Cao Dangjia, I didn't expect to see you here." Chi Fei saluted respectfully.
"The old man already knew that you would come, but he didn't expect to sit at the same table as you, which is indeed a coincidence." Cao Dangjia smiled happily.
Next, Cao Dangjia introduced others to Chi Fei.
The old man who was about the same age as Cao Dangjia was his younger brother Cao Delin, and another middle-aged man and two fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys were Cao Delin's son and grandson respectively.
The elegant scribe sitting next to Cao Dangjia is Cao Yinsheng, the only son of Cao Dangjia, and sitting next to Cao Yin is Cao Wanhua, the grandson of Cao Dangjia, that is, the brother of Ah Zhi's best friend Cao Wan'er.
After learning that Chi Fei was the newly sealed Jing Wenbo of the Holy Lord, the others were very surprised.
They didn't expect that this ordinary-looking young man turned out to be Jing Wenbo Su Zhen, who had made a fuss a while ago and invented the anti-sores magic formula.
Compared with the surprise of the parents, several grandchildren seemed more excited and surprised.
Because these young people are all fans of Chi Fei's books, how can they not feel excited to see the living Mr. Chi Fei in front of them.
Cao Delin's eldest grandson, Cao Yinwen, couldn't help but blurt out: "Mr. Chi Fei, I have always been a fan of your books, and it's great to see you here!" ”
"Me too, me too, Mr. Chi Fei, I'm also your book lover." Cao Yinwu also said very excitedly.
"Thank you both for your support, I feel very honored to be here." Chi Fei replied to the two of them.
"Mr. Chi Fei, you are too polite. When will your new book be serialized, sir? ”
"When the serialization of "Rebirth" in the literary newspaper is finished, the serialization of new books will begin, probably starting next month. As for the finished book, it will still be published by Ju Yazhai, and then it will be troublesome for Cao to be in charge. ”
"Great, we've been looking forward to your new book. What type of new book is it? In addition, I would like to ask, are you still planning to write a sequel to "Xianxia"? ”
"Yes, I also like "Xianxia" the most, I really hope to see a sequel to "Xianxia"."
Seeing the two grandsons asking questions about the guests they met for the first time, Cao Delin, the younger brother of Cao Dangjia, felt that it was too rude, so he coughed dryly to stop the two grandsons from continuing to ask questions, and then said apologetically: "Please forgive me Mr. Su for my two grandsons who are young and ignorant, and I will teach them a good lesson when I go back." ”
"Mr. Cao is serious, as an author, it is an honor for my work to be loved by readers, how can I be surprised."
Seeing that Chi Fei was so easy to speak, Cao Delin breathed a sigh of relief.
Who doesn't know now that this Su Zhen's father-in-law is the famous Zhenguo Gong Ning Zhiyuan, and he himself is said to be very valued by the saints, plus he is so young, he can be described as having a bright future.
Such a person must never be offended.
