Chapter Forty-Nine: Returning to the Door

After knowing Lao Zhu's appointment, Zhu Yunwen couldn't sleep well, and summoned his henchman Huang Zicheng overnight to discuss countermeasures.

In order to deal with Zhu Di, a great enemy, and some lawless vassal kings, Zhu Yunwen could only treat Zhu Ao politely, after all, Zhu Ao still respects him, and no matter how stupid a person is, he can distinguish priorities.

The next step is to get back to the door. On the day of returning to the door, the internal official first sent the gift of returning to the door to the concubine's house. The gift list is as follows: 300 taels of silver, 32 variegated silk (read horses), 96 red and green gold bundles, 4 northern sheep, 4 red and green silk pins with gold covers, 4 red hemp ropes, 40 bottles of wine, 40 red and green gold pins, and 4 fruit combinations.

Zhu Ao and Sun Yunqi went to the concubine's house with a regular honor guard, Zhu Ao arrived first, and Sun Jida greeted him. After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Sun Jida welcomed Zhu Ao into the main hall.

Zhu Ao Lidong went west and bowed four times in front of the concubine's parents. Sun Jida and Zhao immediately bowed twice and replied twice. Then Zhu Ao sat down and received four bows from the princess's other relatives. Subsequently, Sun Yunqi entered and bowed to his parents four times, and Sun Jida and Zhao sat head-on. Sun Jida saluted the rest of his relatives.

Since then, the marriage process has been completely over. In order to reflect his dignity and inferiority, Lao Zhu, like the rulers of previous dynasties, paid great attention to the etiquette system.

Etiquette is also the core of Confucianism, and Confucius believed that the reason for the wars and chaos in the Spring and Autumn Period was because the vassal states did not observe the Zhou etiquette.

In fact, this is complete nonsense, Lao Tzu once criticized Confucius. The so-called etiquette is all false formalism, it is the yiyin of the feudal ruler, and others kneel and bow to you, not because he is sensible, but because you have strength.

Moreover, Confucianism emphasizes etiquette everywhere, and strict etiquette must be observed even at home. But we all know that the closer you are to people, the more casual you will be in what you do. Only when you are with strangers will you become polite and reserved. Therefore, this set of Confucianism is fundamentally contrary to human nature.

Zhu Ao stretched his waist and said as if he had been amnestied: "It's finally over." Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please take a seat. ”

Where did Sun Jida dare to sit on top of the vassal king, and immediately said modestly: "Your Highness is polite, you are the prince, and you are the first rank of the Son of Heaven, how can you have the reason to be a minister?" ”

Zhu Ao didn't like the feeling that the family still had to be formal, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law doesn't have to be formal, today is Yunqi's return to his parents' house, and we will follow the family etiquette." ”

Sun Jida rolled his eyes, hesitated, and said: "It's better for His Royal Highness and the princess to take the seat, if the etiquette is messed up, it is not good for the emperor to know." ”

Well, that's not going to be easy. Lao Zhu's prestige is known to the whole world, maybe the content of their conversation today, Lao Zhu already knows.

Zhu Ao didn't want to be polite with Sun Jida, he might be pitted by pretending to be a virgin, Zhu Ao couldn't do this kind of thing, so he had to say: "Okay, but today is a family banquet, please don't be restrained." ”

Sun Jida was very satisfied with Zhu Ao's modest attitude, before he was afraid that this prince was also a cruel and unkind gentleman, and his daughter would be angry and suffer after marrying, but now it seems that his worries are completely superfluous, and he couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart: "That's natural." Come on, set the wine. I'm going to treat my aunt well. ”

Although sitting on top of his parents, his heart was a little awkward, but after all, this was the etiquette set by Lao Zhu, and Sun Yunqi didn't think too much about it. The meal was still enjoyable. Because he was about to follow King Su to Hexi, Sun Yunqi was very reluctant to let go of his family, and after eating a meal, he talked a lot about his mother and sister until dark.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Ao and Sun Yunqi visited their mother and went back to the room to rest. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Dainu waiting there. In the past two days, she was busy getting married, but Zhu Ao snubbed her, but Dai Nu didn't care, and she was busy with Zhu Ao's marriage.

As soon as he saw Zhu Ao and Sun Yunqi coming back, Dai Nu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, saying, "The concubine is the princess and the princess." Although it has not been officially canonized, after all, it has been promised by Zhu Ao, so Dai Nu regards herself as a woman of Zhu Ao, and she is reluctant to lose this identity no matter what.

Zhu Ao was a little embarrassed to see this scene, this is a typical junior in later generations, and he is spurned by the world. Sun Yunqi was very generous to help Dai Nu up, and said: "Sister, please get up, you and I are both princes, and we will be called sisters in the future, don't be too formal." ”

Dai Nu smiled sweetly, and lost no time in saying: "Thank you, sister, the concubine will serve the prince and sister wholeheartedly in the future, and she will never slack off." ”

Sun Yunqi smiled and said with kindness: "Dare to ask my sister what is her name?" It will be easy to call in the future. ”

Dai Nu gave a salute and said respectfully: "The concubine is a lowly name Dai Nu, and she can't enter my sister's ears. The concubine was originally the prince's personal maid, but thanks to the prince's refusal to give up, she was able to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. ”

The more Sun Yunqi looked at Dai Nu's innocent face, the more he liked it, and said with a smile: "Since my sister is already a member of the prince's person, it is not good to have a slave in her name, but I am afraid that I will lose the identity of the prince." ”

Dai Nu didn't know how to answer for a while, this name was given to her by Zhu Ao's mother, and she didn't dare to say it publicly.

Sun Yunqi looked at Dai Nu's embarrassed expression for a while, smiled to resolve the embarrassment, and said, "Why don't I, who is a sister, be the master on my own, and change your name?" ”

Dai Nu looked surprised and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister, it is a great honor for my sister to give her name to the concubine." "The princess is willing to name her, which means that she is accepted, and the day when she will become the concubine of King Su is just around the corner.

Sun Yunqi frowned and thought for a while, and said: "A few days ago, the prince and the concubine got married, which can be described as a new beginning for my Su Domain, and this concubine will take this opportunity to give you the word 'Yu', which also represents light and shine, and the concubine would like to take this opportunity to pray that the prince and my Su Fan will have a bright future from now on and will always be illuminated by the sun." ”

Unexpectedly, the princess gave herself such a meaningful word, Dai Nu cried excitedly, and quickly knelt down to thank her, and said: "The concubine body thanks the sister for giving her name, the concubine body will unswervingly serve the prince and sister in this life, if you have two hearts, heaven and earth will not allow it!" ”

Sun Yunqi bent down to help her up, and said, "Sister, get up quickly, this concubine has another word for you." ”

Dai Nu's face showed obvious surprise, the princess is really knowledgeable, she has already given such a good word, what other words to give me, and said with a smile: "Please give my sister a name." ”
