The team that sent the princess makeup bride went out of the Forbidden City from Donghua Gate, and then out of the imperial city from Dong'an Gate, all the way to T-shaped street - at this point, the route of the princess makeup bride overlapped with the route of Prince Xuan leaving the palace and returning to King Xuan's mansion, but then, the two routes were about to go their separate ways.

Prince Xuan returned to the north side street, turned left at the T-shaped bridge, turned north; The princess dresses up here but turn right, go south along Wangfujing Street, go out of East Chang'an Street, go east to Dongdan archway, turn left and north, to the east fourth archway, and then turn right to the east, to the west exit of Chaoyangmen Inner Street, and then turn left again to the north, into the north street of Chaonei.

The reason why it is such a big circle is naturally to let the people of Beijing have a good look at the princess's dowry. Ordinary people, marrying and sending off, have to do a big job, blow and inspire, swagger through the market, how lively they can be, not to mention the royal marriage, as well as the function and responsibility of whitewashing the peace and enjoying with the people?

This is a grand event that has not been encountered in many years, which one should not be lively? And this lively, different armies triumphant, the Son of Heaven on patrol, the roadside "watching" the people, to fulfill the obligation of flowers, wine, bows and worship, honest fear, can not "overpass"; Watching the distribution of the princess's dowry, he stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck, laughed and laughed, and made a loud noise.

Therefore, the day before the princess "surrendered", the people of Beijing City, I don't know how many people have deliberately got up early in the morning, outside the Dong'an Gate of the Imperial City, T-shaped bridge, Wangfujing Street, East Chang'an Street, Dongdan archway, East Fourth archway, until the intersection of Chaoyangmen Inner Street and Chaonei North Street, on both sides of the road, crowded, dense, full of joy.

Some people say that there was a similar lively scene in Beijing in the last two times. are all related to Prince Xuan: one time, Prince Xuan pacified the rebellion in Shaanxi, suppressed the bandits who had been in trouble for more than ten years, and returned to Beijing in triumph, and many ordinary people spontaneously went out of the city to greet them. Well, at that time. Xuan Wang Ye is still "Guan Gongye"; Another time, it was the Queen Mother of the Queen Mother who went out to visit Tianjin, and the Xuan Army Guards Regiment followed, which was the first time that the Xuan Army was fully dressed in Western military uniforms and "showed its face" in Beijing City, and all the cities were crazy. Well, at that time, Prince Xuan was still "Guan Belle".

The others nodded again and again, and said: "Prince Xuan is a great hero who is not born in the world!" This, huh. Golden saddle with BMW, beauty marrying hero, it is truly a match made in heaven! ”

The audience was elated, but they suffered from the people who maintained order.

The infantry army commanded the yamen, Shuntianfu, and Daxing County, the "first county" of Shuntianfu, with soldiers and errand soldiers, almost all of them were dispatched. Guard battalion, cavalry battalion, forward battalion and other "Royal Forest Army". A large group of men and horses were also sent. In addition to this, among the nine gates. The recent princess makeup tour route is Chaoyang Gate and Chongwen Gate, the boundary within Chaoyang Gate, which is inlaid with white flags; The boundaries within the Chongwen Gate, the blue flag should be managed, these two flags. A large number of manpower was also sent to help maintain order.

If the army is triumphant and the Son of Heaven is on patrol, and the onlookers have "crossed the line", they can shout and scold loudly, and then disobey. Just whip it over. However, today is a day of great joy, and the chief official of the yamen, who is responsible for maintaining order, adheres to the kindness of the queen mother of the two palaces, and repeatedly warns his subordinates: Do not speak ill of the people, let alone be rude!

It's embarrassing!

This group of officials who are commanding the common people on weekdays, while trying their best to press the surging crowd back, shouted at the same time: "Drive! Excuse me! Excuse me! Excuse me! In a hurry, "Uncle, Uncle, Auntie" also called out. Although the weather was cool, the people who maintained order were all covered with sweat, and some people's voices were shouting.

At the right time, the sound of drums came from inside the imperial city, and the crowd was in a commotion: "Coming, coming!" ”

The color pavilions wrapped in yellow satin carried by the two of them, one after another, came out of the Dong'an Gate, and there was an endless stream. After a short time, the front does not see the head, the back does not see the tail, and it stretches endlessly.

In the color pavilion, there are all kinds of silk, clothing, jewelry, cultural toys, utensils, mirrors, pens and inkstones...... Neatly stacked, shimmering in the sunlight with a multicolored sheen, it is dazzling.

The Luan Ritual School of the Lifting Pavilion is also spirited! Yishui'er's red satin gown, embroidered with large yellow peony flowers, is gorgeous, solemn, and extremely eye-catching.

The cheers came and went.

There are those who "know how to do it", so they praised loudly: "If you want to say that you can get on the big table, you have to count the work of the weaving yamen in Suzhou!" Look, it's bright——! ”

The person next to him chimed in: "Yes! A Luan Yi School, a new lake silk gown, you say, how much does it cost? ”

As he spoke, he shook his head "tsk": "The sea is gone!" ”

"Brother has good eyesight, 'Lake Silk Clothes World'! Hehe, do you think, the whole world belongs to the emperor's family, what is it to make a few gowns? ”

"Hahaha!"

I don't know how many color pavilions carried by two people have passed, and there are color pavilions carried by four people.

Inside the color pavilion, there are all kinds of woodware, tables and chairs, or red sandalwood, or sour branches, each piece is exquisite and gorgeous.

"Hey, this is all the difference between the Governor of Liangguang!"

"How do you know?"

"I heard people say—hey, didn't you see, it's all red sandalwood and sour branches? Do you think, red sandalwood and sour branches are all things that only exist in the south, if you don't call the governor of Liangguang this errand, who will do it? ”

"That's not necessarily, Ding Futai in Guangdong, but Prince Xuan's favorite general, the prince is married, and he can't make any effort?"

"Ahem, the Governor of Liangguang and the Governor of Guangdong, that's not the same thing?"

"What's the same thing? You two, you don't understand anything! Prince Xuan refused to ask Ding Futai to touch this kind of messenger! ”

"Yo, you seem to be a roundworm in the stomach of Prince Xuan......"

"Don't argue. I have an aunt and cousin who works as an errand boy in Guangdong Customs and knows the inside story. This batch of wooden artifacts is really the head and tail of the Swiss army, and it has nothing to do with Ding Futai. Ding Futai is only in charge of government affairs, and he never cares about these things - this guy is right, Prince Xuan will not let Ding Futai get involved in these things. As for the Swiss army, it happened to be transferred, and the government affairs were not taken care of - they couldn't be managed, just take the money from the Guangdong Customs and give it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Everyone, how can a Swiss army straw bag stay safe and stable in the position of the governor of Liangguang? In addition to the deep curtain, he is really indispensable to the Internal Affairs Office! ”

This is almost an "authoritative release", and several people no longer argued, and nodded their heads in submission.

Dozens of four-person color pavilions have passed, and finally, there is a large color pavilion carried by sixteen people, and what is placed on it is actually a carved red sandalwood bed!

The onlookers were very interested: is this the legendary "joint bed"?
