The wedding date has finally arrived.

In front of him were four brown horses to open the way, the riders wore red robes and small hats, and even the horses were dressed in red, and then Taifu Zhouzong sat in a purple sedan chair carried by eight people, followed by some officials of the Ministry of Rites. After this group of people is Ma Yun, who is neatly dressed, he is riding on a big horse, scolding in his heart, there are snowflakes floating in the sky, you Zhou Zong is sitting in an airtight sedan chair, but I, the groom, is riding a horse, frozen like a deflated three. Behind Ma Yun, more than half of the people from the Chu State Mission were dispatched, carrying boxes, holding boxes, holding gold silk dowry gifts, and a few people led nine sheep to follow, and even Li Ergou held a snow-white wild goose tightly in his hand, this wild goose quacked, wanting to break free and escape, Li Ergou dragged its feet with one hand and pressed its body with the other.

The white goose is a gift, and the ancients thought that the white goose represented loyalty. Therefore, when the upper class people get married, they all take the white goose as a dowry (later changed to a white goose, after all, the price of the white goose is low and the popularity is high). Yuan Hao asked once wrote poems: ask what the world and love are, teach life and death to promise each other, the south and the north of the world, and the old wings have been cold and summer several times. The description is the white goose. This wild goose will be released for a while, otherwise it will be unlucky, so although Li Ergou has a lot of strength, he is also in a hurry.

Outside the noon gate, all kinds of official sedans stopped for a while.

When he arrived at the noon gate, Ma Yun, whose lips were blue from the cold, just got off the horse, and Huang Hao trotted all the way, walked in front of Ma Yun and others, bowed down and saluted: "Lord Wang, you just came, come with the old slave, there are really a lot of things today." ”

Under the guidance of Huang Hao, accompanied by Zhou Zong, and under the sanitation of Li Jie, Zhao Pu and others, Ma Yun entered the palace, did not care about enjoying the scenery of the palace, walked through the corridor and crossed the courtyard, and first came to the Taihe Palace of the Empress Dowager Zhong's, and after arriving at the hall, I saw a woman in her 5o years, wearing a dark blue long robe, painted with Cui Zhai patterns, black and white patterns on the collar, and red Luo for the cuffs and edges. The waist clothes are large, the color is also dark blue, the white jade double pei, the color of the knee covering the clothes, and the painting Zhai is the picture. This woman was kind and kind, and after Ma Yun paid his respects, she said: "Huiwen, is the daughter of my family, the favor of my father and brother since childhood, and when I arrived in Chu State, I hope that the prince will treat her kindly." ”

At this point, of course, Ma Yun promised repeatedly. After chatting for a while in Taihe Palace, seeing that this grandson-in-law was dignified and matched with the answer in addition to the tip of his nose being red from the cold, the old queen mother was very satisfied, and invited him to drink some hot tea to warm up his body, and then Wen Yan asked him to quit.

Out of Taihe Palace, under the leadership of Huang Hao, he came to the Yongning Palace of the Queen Zhang's family, this queen mother, not very old, well maintained, fair complexion, beautiful appearance, looking only 2o years old, it is estimated that if she stands with Princess Mingle, she is more like a sister than a mother and daughter. The clothes on her body were similar to the old queen mother's, chatted a little about homely things, and after a few words, Ma Yun left Yongning Palace again and came to Hanyuan Palace, where she met her old father-in-law Li Jing.

Hanyuan Hall in the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers are there, all beaming, today everyone does not wear official boots, all wear all kinds of shoes, the common feature is that there is a belt on the top (meaning to bring a son). There was another burst of greetings and greetings, looking at what it looked like at noon.

Li Jing nodded, and Huang Hao shouted, "The princess is out of the pavilion!" ”

The noisy hall fell silent for a moment. Because his eldest wife was there, Ma Yun didn't ask the princess about the etiquette of marriage yesterday, and when he saw the queen mother, the queen, and the emperor, he thought that he would pick up the princess in this Hanyuan Palace, so he stretched out his head to look at the small door by the pillar at the back of the palace, and waited for a long time There was no one. Zhou Zong behind him took a step forward, tugged at Ma Yun's sleeve, and said, "Lord, it's time to go to Xiuning Palace, where the princess lives, to greet you." ”

Ma Yunleng paused, damn, it was a half-day tour of the palace just now, and now it is on time.

Without waiting for Ma Yun**, Li Jingsui, the imperial brother over there, stretched out his hand to hold Ma Yun's wrist and said, "Nephew, let's go to Xiuning Palace together." ”

After another period of passing through the courtyard, he came to the gate of Xiuning Palace, saw that the palace gate was closed, and followed Li Jie behind Ma Yun's buttocks, and hurriedly took out a clip with a dark yellow brocade surface from his arms, bowed down and handed it to Huang Hao, after Huang Hao took it, he opened it and read aloud: "Princess Mingle is expensive, married to the emperor's family, the eldest mother is powdered, and the Tang Emperor has mercy on flowers." Urge the shop of the hundred sub-tents, and wait for the obstacle of the seven-incense car. By asking if the makeup is not done, the East wants to Xiaoxia. Ma Yun understood, this is a pretending poem, he pursed his lips, and said: It's not a bad thing.

After the poem was recited, the palace door of Xiuning Palace opened, and two rows of palace maids with white edges and red clothes, one holding a big red lantern, the candlelight flickered inside, and Yingying walked out, a total of 2o lamps. Then there were eight purple-clothed children with hairpins on their heads, the first four people each held a square fan, the last four people each held a round fan, after these 28 people came out, it was 3o palace maids who walked out unhurriedly, the first ten held potted flowers in their hands, and the last twenty each carried a lantern in their hands.

Immediately afterwards, with the support of the two maids, the other protagonist of the marriage appeared. Mingle has a peculiar shape today, with a show in two ring-shaped buns towering on his head, which looks elegant and abnormal. Below the bun inserted a carved phoenix jasper hairpin, there is a tortoiseshell made of gold hairpin, the top is inserted is a step shake, with gold as a beam, hanging with crystal white beads, walking, the white beads shake with the shadow, the pearl is shining, quite charming.

She was coated with a light plain powder on her face, and she wiped some rouge on her cheeks, which looked quite touching with red cheeks, and a plum blossom pattern made of gold and silver tin foil on her forehead, pasted on the center of her eyebrows, which was charming and abnormal, and it was also very eye-catching, but the lips smeared on her mouth made Ma Yun always feel familiar, and suddenly remembered, damn, don't Japanese geisha often engage in this bullshit thing?

She wore a crown of nine feathers and four phoenixes, and wore a wedding dress embroidered with long-tailed pheasants and light red sleeves. This horse was different from the one Ma Yun had ridden just now, the back of the horse was draped with a saddle bridle painted with a golden lychee flower pattern and a mattress made of golden monkey fur, after Ma Yun rode up, Huang Hao hurriedly ran over and handed him a whip woven of silk threads. Ma Yun turned his head and took a look, inside Xiuning Palace, there were still people going out, and now it was the queen who had just met.

The queen sat in a nine-dragon sedan chair, and then the emperor's younger brother Li Jingsui also rode on a horse, followed by Li Yu and other royal disciples, and then Zhou Zong, Feng Yansi, these executives and their families.

At the gate of the palace, a royal band composed of more than 100 people, playing a joyful tune, cut the line to the front. The officials behind him also stopped walking, and got on the sedan chair one after another in order of grade, and they were very busy.

The post station has already been arranged, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the royal cooks have already rushed over to arrange the wedding scene, cook and cook, and be busy with their own work. When Ma Yun and the others returned to the post station, they had already arranged a stop.

Pick up Princess Mingle and go to the backyard, and the queen issued a decree to hold a banquet in the main hall of the front yard of the post station and the west wing room at the same time. The main hall is the emperor's younger brother Li Jingsui on behalf of the emperor to set up a banquet to entertain the horses and hundreds of officials, and the west wing room is the queen's banquet, and the banquet is to invite the relatives of the horses and the families of hundreds of officials. This is called the "Nine Lamps Banquet", which indicates a long-lasting marriage, harmony and beauty.

These nine feasts are Li Tang's first-class meals, the first one, meat and soy sauce; the second, the double slot of the meat; the third, lotus meat, oil cake bones; the fourth, white meat beard cake; fifth, group of immortals, Taiping Biluo (stuffed pasta called Biluo); the sixth, the false round fish; the seventh, the soop powder; the eighth, false sand fish; The ninth, water rice, soy sauce, swirl gourd and ginger, see the jujubes, the pith cake, the white beard cake, and the ring cake.

By the time all kinds of dishes were ready, it was already past noon, and before Ma Yun had time to sit down and eat something, Li Jingsui held Fu Shuichun to toast. The Tang people like to name the wine with the word "spring", and now the Tang Dynasty has not long died, and the Southern Tang Dynasty is known as the best successor of the Tang Dynasty, so the customs have not changed.

Li Jingsui set an example, and the following hundreds of officials toasted like a tide, fortunately, today is the day of the wedding, and the wedding has not yet been completed, and the hundred officials dare not go too far, Ma Yun tasted it lightly, and drank a glass of wine and drank more than a dozen people.

Finally, in the evening, the banquet ended. Li Jingsui and the queen left one after another. After Ma Yungong sent it off, he sat back on the chair in the main hall, and Zhou Zong smiled and said, "Lord Wang, it's time for husband and wife to eat together." ”

Ma Yun blinked his eyes, is it time for the cave room? In the afternoon of the banquet, you had food and drink, but I ate and drank, I didn't eat much, I was tired and hungry after a busy day.

was hesitating, but saw the maid help Princess Mingle to the main hall. When Princess Mingle and Ma Yun sat down in the main seat of the main hall, they sat down on the left and right, and a few palace maids served a few hot side dishes. The two of them ate a few bites casually, and Zhou Zong said, "Licheng." Then the palace maids brought these dishes back with their hands and feet.

Ma Yun blinked helplessly.

After the ceremony, the princess was helped to the middle and served her in-laws to wash and eat. Ma Yun's father and mother are in Changsha, so the princess rushed to the southwest, bowed a few times, and presented 200 pairs of silverware and 600 clothes.

After that, Ma Yun and Princess Mingle stood opposite each other, Princess Mingle bowed first, and then Ma Yun returned the salute, and then bowed four more times, representing the wife and her husband.

By the time this set of rituals was completed, it was already late at night.
