Chapter 106: The Wedding

It wasn't until the end of March that Lao Zhu's illness cured, and Yun Xi returned the job to Lao Zhu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but after that, Lao Zhu's spirit was not good, and he did not recover until Yunxi's wedding.

According to the etiquette of ordinary people, if your uncle dies, you have to die for a year, and you can't marry or marry within this year. But the royal family is different, according to the ancient etiquette, it is all based on the day and the moon, so Yun Xi only serves the funeral for twelve days. In addition, Lao Zhu did not slow down, so the preparations for the big wedding were only delayed for twelve days, and then they started again.

Just when Yun Xi didn't feel it, suddenly an official from the Ministry of Etiquette came to tell Yun Xi what to prepare for the wedding, and he suddenly realized: he was going to get married!

Qin Tianjian, this Yunxi seems to be a yamen who eats idle meals, and chose the eighth day of the fifth month as a good day to get married, so he was scheduled to get married on this day.

But a few days before this day, the entire Wenhua Hall was already busy flying. There are six steps to a wedding, the first is to pick up and ask for a name. Lao Zhu took Ren Hengtai as the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and the founding prince was often promoted to the envoy, and went to the Xue family in Jinwu Qianweifang to collect and ask for his name.

First of all, Lao Zhu made a system: he ordered the daughter of the Xue family to be the princess and concubine, and ordered the secretary to ask for the name ceremony.

Then the servant said to the messenger, "What is the matter?" (Dare to ask for something)" The messenger said: "The palace is matched, and it belongs to Lingde." The state has a common canon, so that a certain line of acceptance of the gift. ”

The servant went to the house of the future princess and told him what the messenger had said; Xue Ning, the officiant, the father of the future concubine, said: "The son of Xue Ning, the minister, is not enough to make a choice. Respectfully, Xue Ning did not dare to resign. ”

The servant came out again and told the messenger, who went in and gave the bride price, and said, "A certain edict has been taken." "Come out again.

Then the servant said to the messenger, "What is the matter?" The messenger replied; The matching of the palace is to choose both harmonious, and to ask for the name. ”

The servant went in again and told the officiant, and the officiant said: "The daughter of the minister Xue Ning can serve the prince, and the minister Xue Ning does not dare to resign." The servant then came out and told the messenger, who went in again to deliver the wild geese according to the etiquette, and announced: "The ministers will ask for their names and use them for divination." The officiant said: "Xue Xiyao, the eldest daughter of Xue Ning, is from the Wang family." ”

After that, there are four steps: Naji, Naji, Invitation, and Jiao Ring, each of which takes a lot of time.

From the beginning of the Jiao ring, Yun Xi had to start working. Yun Xi was busy all day that day, and the officials of the East Palace also had to work together. When the ceremony was over, Yunxi and Qi Tai were so tired that they wanted to die.

Then it's time for the three steps of the wedding day. However, the day before the wedding, the East Palace officials were busy again. According to the Ming system, in addition to the emperor's wedding, the crown prince's wedding must also be welcomed, and not only one person, but the entire East Palace officials go, and in order to familiarize themselves with the road the next day, they rehearse the day before.

On the day of the wedding, Yun Xi got up on the same day as the day when he was canonized as the emperor's grandson. Wang Xi, Wang Bu and others dressed Yunxi with all kinds of thoughts.

Yun Xi put on his crown robe, got into the car, and set off from Wenhua Gate. When passing through the Wenhua Gate, Yun Xi saw that the East Palace officials headed by Qi Tai and Geng Xuan were standing on the right side of the Wenhua Gate, all wearing court clothes, and there were musicians playing next to them.

Originally, Geng Xuan should have gone to Shanselen to take office, but he had to attend Yun Xi's wedding, and because Qin Song didn't want to attract attention, Yun Xi agreed.

Yun Xi rode the wheel, listening to the sound of blowing and blowing all the way to the gate of the Xue family in Jinwu Weifang. At this time, the courtyard of the Xue family is not what Yun Xi saw two years ago, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry have completely renovated the courtyard of the Xue family in the past few months; Not only that, but in order to allow Yun Xi to come in easily, the road from Fangmen to the door of Xue's house was all renovated and paved with stone slabs.

Yun Xi went down and walked into the gate of the Xue family, and the East Palace official followed him in. The usher guides them into the place of the banquet.

In the backyard of Xue's house, Xue Ning's wife Wang was talking to Xue Xiyao, and when she heard the sound of blowing and blowing outside, Wang choked up and said: "I have said everything I should say, I only hope that you and Yi'er can win the favor of your grandson and give birth to an imperial heir as soon as possible." The auspicious time is coming, you are almost dressed and ready to go out. After speaking, tears rained down.

Xue Xiyao also shed tears, but forced a smile: "I'm going to that unsightly place today, how can the mother and son cry if they don't talk and laugh." After a while, I won't know if I'll come back. ”

Turning his head to his sister Xue Xiyi, who was crying on the side, he said, "My sister will prepare for you when she enters the palace today, and when you enter the palace in a few days, you won't be like my sister." "Xue Xiyi is the side concubine, although the six ceremonies are prepared together, but it takes a few days at night to enter the palace, and the etiquette is much simpler.

Xue Xiyi didn't answer, still crying.

At this time, the nurturing grandmother invited by the Xue family lifted the curtain and said, "Oh, my mother, the auspicious time is coming soon, don't hurry up and get dressed, don't stay." ”

Xue Xiyao immediately began to tidy up her clothes, then went down to the ground, put on her shoes, put on her crown, and walked out of the house.

Yun Xi was talking to Xue Ning at the banquet place. Yun Xi has never had the experience of facing his father-in-law, and he doesn't know what to say on such a day, so he doesn't know what to say after a few questions and answers. Xue Ning was the same, and the two sons-in-law were stunned here. Fortunately, the auspicious time will arrive soon, Xue Ning tidied up his court clothes, stood up and said, "The minister guides His Highness." He walked out the door.

Yun Xi also hurriedly stood up, walked out of the door, and stood facing west.

Xue Xiyao wore a hairpin, walked into the pavilion, and stood facing south to the north.

The maid had another complicated exchange with the officiant, and then Yun Xi walked into the pavilion again, standing on the left side of the gate, and then walked to the south side of the pavilion, facing north.

Xue Xiyao didn't wear any phoenix crown and xia veil, it was all worn by folk women when they got married, and the crown princess could wear it as a regular dress, so there was no need to wear it at the wedding.

And Xue Xiyao doesn't have a red hijab, and the royal family doesn't like this. As soon as Yun Xi looked up, he saw Xue Xiyao.

Although Yun Xi said that everyone is the same, he is always willing to marry a beautiful one. Yun Xi glanced at her a few times, and felt that she was more mature and beautiful than when they met two years ago, although she was still green, but it was not like a green apple, more like a ripe or unripe appearance. Yun Xi didn't want to look at it much, anyway, when he went back, he had time to look at it, and after a few glances, he lowered his head again.

Xue Xiyao also glanced at Yun Xi a few times, and then felt as if she had seen him, but she couldn't remember when she had seen him. Although she has a good memory, but two years ago, she is not as impressed as Yun Xi because she saw her sisters, of course she can't remember it. She didn't look at it much, so she glanced at it a few times, and lowered her head when she felt that it was still eye-catching.

Yun Xi took the wild goose from the hand of the goose holder and handed it to the officiant with both hands. Xue Ning, the officiant, knelt down to accept it, then stood up and retreated to the west side of the pavilion. Yun Xi said goodbye, and then walked out of the pavilion.

Xue Ning's wife, Wang, stood at the door of the pavilion, and Yun Xi bowed to see him, and Wang returned the salute. Yun Hee walked out of the courtyard and stood outside.

Xue Ning and Xue Xiyao walked out one after another. Xue Ning said bluntly: "The precept of the precept, work hard all night, and don't disobey the order." ”。

Wang also said in accordance with the prescribed 'lines': "Reluctant to exhort, Er's father has training, and he will inherit Weiqin." ”

Xue Xiyao bowed three times, and then followed the palace maid to go out. Although she didn't see it, what she could guess was the tears that her parents must have left.

Xue Xiyao and Yun Xi sat on the same chariot and went back to the palace. There were people who served in the chariot, and Yun Xi felt that it was not the time to speak, so he did not speak. He didn't speak, and Xue Xiyao couldn't speak, and the two of them came to Wenhua Hall without saying a word.

When he arrived at the Wenhua Palace, Yun Xi stood to the east of the gate of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Xue Xiyao stood to the west of the gate, and then under the guidance of the guide, Yun Xi carried Xue Xiyao and walked into the hall.

When he entered the temple, he was about to perform the joint ceremony. However, the etiquette in the Hongwu period was not complete, and Lao Zhu loved the family to be lively together, so the ceremony was postponed, and the old Zhu family got together to feast and drink like ordinary families.

Tomorrow is the time to meet the emperor, so it is inconvenient for Lao Zhu to appear today. But Yun Xi's uncles and brothers have no scruples.

Of course, the members of the royal family led by Zhu Yang met Xue Xiyao first. No matter what they call Yun Xi on weekdays, and no matter what their rank is with Yun Xi, everyone is in the end and says, "I've seen Concubine Taisun." ”

Xue Xiyao also hurriedly returned the salute. Yun Xi said: "Look at you one by one, what are you doing!" ”

Gao Xu finished the salute and said with a smile: "The third brother is distressed about his sister-in-law?" Come on, come on, let's fight for 300 rounds, and we won't get drunk or go home. ”

Yun Xi smiled: "How old are you to drink, and the little kid will go." ”

Gao Xu exclaimed, "I'm twelve years old this year, and I can drink." ”

Zhu Youstew shook his head and said with a smile: "Who said that a twelve-year-old child can drink?" Uncle Yan Wang? When I saw Uncle Yan, I asked if I had said this! ”

Yun Xi stepped forward and said with a smile: "What to say to him, let the subordinates take care of it and don't let him drink." ”

The two walked to the side, drank a glass of wine each, and Yun Xi said, "What do you think about the writing of the opera that you talked about last time?" ”

Zhu Youstew is the eldest son of Zhu Yuanzhang's fifth son, Zhu Hu, King of Zhou, and is now the son of King Zhou. But that's not why Yoon-hee looks at him differently. Yun Xi of later generations once read "History of Ancient Chinese Literature" because of his love for classical Chinese literature, including the famous Zhu Youstew. Yun Xi remembered him because of Zhu Youstew's special identity.

Zhu Youstew is one of the few princes who writes operas. In Yun Xi's thoughts, opera will play an important role, so he and Zhu Youstew are good friends.

There is a stew and replied: "Isn't it just to write a book that says Wei Wuzheng Wuhuan, it's easy to write, I've already written most of it, and it'll be fine in a few days." ”

Yun Xi said: "It's not in a hurry, just write slowly, but you must show Wei Wu's tolerance and generosity." ”

Youstew said, "Yes, yes." Today is your big day, let's talk about these things tomorrow, and only drink today. Here, another drink. Yun Xi hurriedly raised his glass accordingly.
