Section 413 Wedding

The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

"If it weren't for the cause of the past, how could it be today? In his heart, there is really no place for me? ”

Ye Shaomei's heart was full of bitterness.

Pick up a delicate mandarin duck lantern next to you and put it into the water, the bright light, with the rippling blue waves, slowly descended, flowing into the distance.

"I wish Langjun Chang Jian."

"I wish that Langjun and Sister Liu would have a noble son as soon as possible."

"The three wishes are like Liang Shangyan, to grow and stay."

Three exquisite river lanterns, three wishes, with a wisp of green silk, with the Nanpu stream slowly flowing into the distance.

Fuzhou City, Governor's Palace.

There are only three days before Qin Haoming's wedding, and the guests who came to give congratulatory gifts are becoming more and more noble, and many people must be received by him personally.

Shandong Governor Yan Jizu and Jinyi Wei both commanded Luo Yangxing, and also came to Fuzhou with the officials of the Pedestrian Division to congratulate Qin Haoming's wedding.

Subsequently, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, and Zu Kuan, the chief soldier of Ningyuan, arrived the next day.

October 18 of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the sky is high and refreshing, and the wind and sun are beautiful. Daji, it is advisable to marry.

At the beginning of the Chen, on behalf of Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou, the pedestrian Shi Langzhong gave his wife an edict to Liu Rushi, Qi Wanru and Yan Yunniang, and Fang Zheng Candle, carved and colored ornaments, gold and silver Lian Gong, miscellaneous utensils were luxurious, and the ceremonial grandeur was unprecedented.

At three o'clock in the morning, Lu Xiangsheng, Yan Jizu, and Luo Yangxing respectively went to the Qi family, the Zheng family, and the Zhang family, presented the personal welcome version, and then accepted the personal welcome ceremony.

Pig goose cage sheng, sheep wine wrapping, preserved fruit treasure, one after another, Qi family, Zheng family, Zhang family in front of the door set up a green cloth curtain for the green house, to welcome Qin Haoming's welcoming team.

Among them, the Zheng family is Yan Yunniang's maiden home, and Zhang Yun's temporary residence in Fuzhou is Liu Ruye's maiden home.

When the auspicious time came, the three brides were going to their husband's house, and Qin Haoming's clansmen, friends, guards, and subordinates formed a welcoming team and rushed towards the three families.

Fortunately, for the sake of convenience, the three families were deliberately connected together, which saved a lot of time and delay.

Hundreds of welcoming teams cheered in unison, the convoy set off, along the main street in the city around the city for half a week, along the way the spectators rubbed shoulders one after another, it was really the city to celebrate, as if the festival.

The welcoming procession went from the Governor's Mansion to the Zheng family, and the Zheng Mansion followed as Yan Yunniang's servants and maidservants to marry, with dozens of people, and dozens of ox carts were loaded with dowry utensils, stretching for several miles.

Watching the lively people along the way, they all said that the Zheng family in Nan'an had a lot of money, and it seemed that they were determined to beat the other two families in terms of dowry, so as to highlight Yan Yunniang's status in the Qin Mansion.

Mrs. Qi and her husband Qi Gang were in the same car, and a servant woman reported to her the amount of the Zheng family's dowry, and Mrs. Qi said with a sad face:

"Alas, my Qi family only prepared twenty carts of makeup for Wan'er, isn't this compared to the Zheng family? Could it be that Wan'er is inferior to Yan Yunniang in the Qin Mansion? ”

Qi Gang shook his hand, disappreciated, and said with a smile: "Fighting with the Zheng family to get rich, that is hitting a stone with an egg, do you know that the Zheng family still has 500,000 taels of marriage!"

You can rest assured, Wan'er will never be inferior to Yunniang because of this. ”

Along the way, the cars and horses are like dragons, and the pedestrians are like weaving, stretching for several miles in Fuzhou City, and the crowd is vying to see it, and the grand occasion is unprecedented.

Qin Haoming was dressed in a dress with gold stripes on a white background, riding on a tall horse, surrounded by a welcoming team composed of clansmen and guards.

At the beginning of the twilight, the Governor's Mansion was decorated with lights, the guests were like clouds, the hall people held candles, the miscellaneous utensils were luxurious, the brocade felt was paved on the floor, the drums were noisy, Qin Haoming dismounted, walked to the side of the wedding sedan chair, and pulled out the three girls one by one.

Qin Haoming was in the center, and the three daughters were behind, and they walked into the governor's palace in the singing of the praisers, passed the entrance hall, the tea hall, and went straight to the main hall to meet the elders and other elders.

The stewards of the Zheng family, the Zhang family, and the Qi family sang loudly the wedding gift list, one by one, for a long time, and the guests who watched the ceremony were amazed.

The hall is full of sheng, flute, silk and bamboo, and the wine is in an uproar. Everyone was in the hall, full of joy and laughter.

After the ceremony, the three daughters saluted the Qin family and then moved into the east, west and north corridors respectively, while Qin Haoming had to accompany the guests outside for a banquet.

Qin Haoming had already expected that there would be a surprisingly large number of guests attending the wedding, and the main hall of the Governor's Mansion would definitely not be able to accommodate so many people.

Therefore, two days ago, 36 large brocade tents were built in the form of military tents in the open space outside the palace, and felt mats were spread in each large brocade tent, and a feast was set up, which could accommodate 20 guests to drink and feast.

Each was skillfully arranged according to their status, so that the six or seven hundred guests who came to congratulate were all happy.

Thirty-six big brocade tents were to be entertained one by one, Yan Yingyuan and Hong Dixin followed behind him, one of them carried a big wine in his hand, and Qin Haoming toasted the visitors and the two of them poured wine for them.

Qin Haoming's wine was dry, and all the guests were very happy, thinking that he was enthusiastic and bold, without the slightest governor shelf.

I don't know that the wine that Yan Yingyuan and Hong Dixin are carrying is filled with honey, if it is on weekdays, why not get drunk!

But today is a big day, Qin Haoming doesn't want to get drunk and sleep until three o'clock in the sun, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the three wives!

The full moon is bright, and under the vast starry sky, the Governor's Mansion of Fuzhou City is brilliantly lit, the front yard is noisy, and the backyard is quiet.

In the east double corridor building, the walls are decorated with red paint, and the ceiling is hung with double happiness palace lamps. There are two gates in the east and west, inside and outside the west gate and the east gate, inside and outside the wooden shadow wall, are decorated with gold lacquer double happiness characters, there is the meaning of going out to see joy.

The tent hanging in front of the bed and the quilt on the bed in the northwest corner of the cave room are all Jiangnan Seiko weaving and embroidery, and the one hundred playchildren with different expressions are embroidered on it, called "the hundred child tent" and "the hundred child quilt", colorful, bright and dazzling.

Qi Wanru, like all brides in the world, sat on the wedding bed of the red brocade embroidered mandarin duck playing in the water, waiting for her husband's arrival.

Everywhere you look, it's a brilliant red.

The head is covered with a hijab embroidered with dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, the apricot-colored tassels flow from the four corners of the brocade, and the red gold crown on the cloud-like hair flutters in the wind, indescribable luxury and honor.

The two pairs of candlesticks with lotus flowers in bronze cast in the room are brightly lit with red candles engraved with the word Xi, as if the scorching wind is blowing into the room.

The red candle illuminates the new house like day, and the red wedding tent, red wedding candles, and red tablecloths are all red.

Suddenly, the red hijab that had been covering his eyes was gently lifted, and Qin Haoming's drunken red face suddenly appeared in Qi Wanru's eyes.

Slender and graceful fingers gently lifted her jaw, and her dark pupils were looking at her with a smile on their faces.

Qi Wanru lowered her head with her cheeks crimson, lightly opened her lips, and said shyly: "Husband, ......"

"Wan'er ......"

On the sandalwood round table, the red candlesticks of dragon and phoenix with thick arms on the bronze lotus candlesticks swayed wantonly, the wax oil meandered down like tears, and the neatly placed cups of wine and the sweet soup of the early birth of the noble son were particularly eye-catching.

It's night, the wedding night, the concubine is in love, and he wants to talk about it.
