Chapter 366: A Cumbersome Wedding

"That's it, today is a good day for Yun Jie, how can the old man be late, and Master Sun is also working hard,"

"There, there, Lan Daren is a student of Lord Zhang, this little face still has to be given, and besides, the emperor is also coming, you said that even the emperor is here, can I come to the country's priest wine, some time ago, I 'communicated' with Lan Daren a few times, and I feel that Lan Daren is young and promising, not a martial artist as they say,"

"Ha, ha, Master Sun, you are too high to promote Yun Jie, you will have to give more guidance to Yun Jie's knowledge of Confucianism in the future,"

Sun Daocun and Zhang Juzheng sang and said in harmony over there, and the 'waiter' and 'woman' who were waiting here also poured hot tea, not only there were eunuchs from Dongchang standing guard on the big 'door', but there were also two eunuchs at the 'door' of the hall here.

The sky slowly brightened, the servants in the courtyard were also busy, and the chefs of the imperial dining room in the palace had also arrived.

According to the procedure, at dawn, the man's father sued Yu Zongmiao, but I didn't have a father and didn't have any family temple, or Zhang Juzheng improvised, so he put on an incense case and put on three incense sticks, which was considered to have completed this task.

Then Sun Daocun arranged for Zhang Juzheng to sit in the middle of the main hall facing south, and I wore the groom's dress, standing in the west of Zhang Juzheng's position, facing south and east.

Sun Daocun sang in praise: "Bow, bow, worship, flatten, (worship: bow down and bow down: get up and bow here twice)"

Xing Zhiwei, who was temporarily acting as a deacon, poured the wine into the wine cup and handed it to me, and I sprinkled a small amount of wine on the ground for sacrifice according to Sun Daocun's instructions (the son-in-law sacrificed a little wine), and then drank the remaining wine in the cup.

Then he handed the wine jue to Xing Zhiwei, who was the deacon, and got up.

I stood in front of Zhang Juzheng, who was temporarily an elder.

Zhang Juzheng said: "Li'er Neizhi, go to Erpi,"

I said to Sun Daocun again: "Dare not obey orders,"

Sun Daocun sang praiseworthily: "Bow, bow, worship, flatten," I did it all.

Then he left the 'door', with the two servants holding candles as the lead, and the matchmaker led us to ride to the 'female' party's house, because it was next door, it was too close, and under the arrangement of Zhang Juzheng and Sun Daocun, it circled the street.

By the time we arrived at the entrance of the 'gate' of the Wei Mansion, Wei Yunqing's husband and 'wife' had already told the ancestral hall and said: "Wei's 'daughter' will be attributed to Lan Yunjie today, and I am very sad."

Then lead the crowd out of the 'door' to greet us as a welcoming procession.

Wei Yunqing stood outside the central 'gate' and invited the deacon to face me and lead us and his entourage into the 'gate'.

Wei Yunqing led the family of the 'female' party to enter the 'door' from the right side of the 'door' and climbed the east steps.

We entered the 'gate' from the left side, climbed the west steps, and the attendants who came with me came to the front of the dormitory, standing on the north side, and the officiant standing on the east side of the house, and the west side.

Deacon Xing Zhiwei placed the dowry and gifts in the hall in front of the dormitory.

Then I appeared on the stage and said: "Lan Yunjie was ordered by the teacher, and Zi Jiali obeyed the order," originally he was ordered by his father, but unfortunately I can't say that, today my elder is Zhang Juzheng, and I have to say that I am ordered by the teacher.

Wei Yunqing said: "I am willing to obey my fate,"

Then the wedding deacon invited by Wei Yunqing sang a salute: "Bow, bow, worship, worship, worship, flat," and I saluted to the shouts of others.

The ceremony was closed, and I had a praise next to me to guide me to leave, and I returned home to prepare to meet Zihan.

Wei Yunqing's husband and 'woman' sat in the southward direction in their dresses, and the 'waiter' and 'woman' guided Wei Zihan to the hall and went to Wei Yunqing's husband and 'woman'.

The deacon sang: "Bye, bumble, bry, bumble, flat", and Wei Zihan got up after four bows.

Wei Yunqing warned Wei Zihan and said: "Go to the Er's house, don't forget to be solemn,"

Then Mrs. Wei said: "I have been thinking all night, and there is no disobedience,"

Wei Zihan said: "Although Zihan is not sensitive, dare not obey his orders,"

The deacon sang again: "Baixing, Baixing, Baixing, Baixing, Pingsheng", Wei Zihan bowed four times and got up.

Later, under the guidance of the 'waiter' and 'woman', Wei Zihan took the two candles as the guide and took the 'flower' sedan chair to our new home.

After Wei Zihan's 'flower' sedan chair arrived, the praiser of the 'female' side asked the bride to get off, Zihan got off, and stood on the north side of the 'door', and I also went out to the outside of the middle 'door' facing south, saluted Zihan, Zihan returned the salute, and the two of us entered the 'hole' room together accompanied by the 'waiter' and 'woman'.

Next, in the outer room, Wei Zihan's entourage arranged the groom's seat in the east, and my entourage arranged the bridal seat in the west of the room.

Then the praiser led me and Zihan into the outer room, and I washed in the southeast of the outer room, and Wei Zihan's attendant brought a basin and a 'hairy' towel to provide me with a wash, and Wei Zihan washed in the northwest of the outer room, and my attendant brought a basin 'hairy' towel to provide Zihan with a wash.

After washing, the praiser led the two of us to the two seats, and the two of us faced each other.

The salute sang, "Bye, bye off," and the two of us bowed to each other twice and then got up.

I bowed to Wei Zihan, Wei Zihan returned the courtesy, and the two of them sat down.

Wei Zihan's entourage put the food table in front of me, and my entourage put the food table in front of Zihan.

Praise sings: "Pour wine,"

Zihan's attendant poured wine and handed it to me, and I took the glass and drank it all.

My attendant poured wine and handed it to Zihan, who took the glass and drank it all.

The salute sang, "Eat,"

Then the deacon served the food, and we both ate the food, and then drank again and ate again.

Zihan's entourage poured wine and handed it to me with a wine vessel, I took it, and my entourage poured wine and handed it to Zihan, Zihan took it and drank it with me.

Next, Zihan's 'waiter' and 'woman' covered Zihan's red hijab, I took Zihan's hand and entered the 'cave' room, and then the 'waiter' and 'woman' brought us wine and food to reopen the banquet, except for a few 'waiters' and 'women' to serve, the rest of the idlers all left the 'cave' room.

I looked at Zihan, poured a glass of wine, stood up, walked to Zihan's side and said, "Zihan, thank you for marrying me, this is a piece of my heart,"

Wei Zihan also stood up, took my wine glass with both hands and said: "Brother Lan is Zihan should thank you, you gave me a home, let me feel the warmth of home and the happiness of love, Zihan is willing to accompany you for the rest of your life,"

"Zihan, that's wrong, what should you call now, don't call me brother in the future,"

Wei Zihan lowered his head shyly and said, "Xianggong, Zihan understands,"

The two of us were funny, which provoked the 'waiter' and 'girl' on the side and couldn't help laughing, today is a happy day, and I also want everyone to share our joy and happiness.

"In the future, I can't be called Zihan, today you are my wife,"

"Xianggong, then you can call me a lady from now on,"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Taoran came to our 'cave' room and said: "Congratulations to Lord Lan, happy couple, but now that the emperor has left the palace, Manager Chen asked people to report quickly, so that the adults are ready to take over the forehead, and Lord Zhang said that he wants you to go and greet him together,"

I heard that the emperor is coming, whether we are newcomers or not, this has to go out to greet, Zihan and I took a few 'waiters' and 'women' out of the 'hole' room, and came to the hall, at this time, there have been many officials, Zhang Ju is greeting everyone and entertaining, Sun Daocun is too, Liu Taoran Xing Zhiwei is also arranging officials who come one after another, see us come out, Zhang Juzheng said: "The groom and the bride are here, come to greet the adults,"

I saw that there was no shortage of obedient six Shangshu, and Li 'Chun' Fang of the cabinet also came, but I didn't see Gao Gong, many officials were unknown to us, and the officials in the hall were all officials above the six Shangshu, and the rest of the officials were in the temporary shed outside, because it was winter, and there was a brazier in the shed.

Seeing Zhang Juzheng say this, Zihan and I hurriedly gave a blessing to more than a dozen adults, everyone is an acquaintance, and there are many words of blessing, only Li 'Chun' Fang walked to the side of the two of us, gave me a salute and said: "Lord Lan, today is your big day, the old man has long thought about it, and he is afraid that others will gossip, take this opportunity, the old man also came over to thank Lord Lan last time, and taught me the kindness of my unfilial son,"

"Lord Li is polite, that's what should be done, Lord Li don't take it to heart,"

At this time, the shout of Lao Liu, who was in charge of welcoming the guests, sounded outside: "Cheng An is waiting for it,"

As soon as everyone heard that Cheng Anhou had arrived, they stopped greetings, and under the leadership of Zhang Juzheng, they came to the outside of the hall to greet Cheng Anhou in a red robe.

Cheng Anhou walked into the big 'door' and hugged his fist and said: "All the adults are here, it's too late, hey, this groom has also come out, you see, this bride is really like a 'flower' and a 'jade', which life is the blessing of Lord Lan,"

He is a martial artist, so he speaks very casually, Zhang Juzheng and a few Shangshu also went up to greet him, the etiquette between me and Zihan is indispensable, and Cheng Anhou was welcomed into the hall, Cheng Anhou asked: "Lord Zhang, the emperor is almost here,"

"Master Hou, the emperor has left the palace and is on the way, Lord Hou should sit down first,"

There are more and more officials who come to congratulate him, many of whom I don't know, whether it is Zhang Juzheng's family or Gao Gong's family, and there are a lot of centrists.

Zhang Juzheng looked at the officials who came to congratulate him outside, and said with a smile: "Lord Lan has a lot of face, this wedding is more complete than the one who came to the court,"

I hurriedly said: "This is all the teacher's face, or it would be good to have ten or eight of the students' face,"

Zhang Juzheng is also very satisfied, no matter what, I am his student, half of these officials are for Zhang Juzheng's face, the other half is for the emperor's face, and a very few, I saw that I was promoted quickly, and the relationship with the big guy was good, and they came to burn the cold stove, this kind of officials, are all very low-level, most of them are seven and six grades, no matter what purpose people come over, they are all given me enough face, and I also 'hand' over to those 'waiters', I can't snub everyone.

I was entertaining these heavyweights, and I saw Lao Liu hurriedly coming over from the big 'gate', came to my side, and whispered: "My lord, President Wang of the Grain Merchants Association is here, with more than a dozen grain merchants outside, what do you think about this matter?"
