Chapter 45: The Great Wedding
Zhu Ao also misses his mother very much, in this imperial city, he remembers him wholeheartedly, I am afraid that it is only his mother, and said: "Mother, how are you doing recently?" β
Gao said with a kind face: "Okay, good." It's good for your mother, you don't have to worry about it, but I heard that you didn't wait for the Shaanxi Xingdu Division to run to Zhangye, how can you be so Meng Lang? Let me worry about my mother. β
The mother was worried all day long, but Zhu Ao was not ashamed, and said: "The child is not filial, which makes the mother worried." It's just that the soldiers worked hard for the children to defend the domain, how could the children leave them behind and enjoy the blessings in the rear? β
Gao Shi touched Zhu Ao's head and said lovingly: "Child, my mother understands what you say, but my mother just doesn't worry about you, how many troops do you have in your hands now?" Is it enough to keep you safe? β
Zhu Ao smiled and comforted her, and said, "Mother, please rest assured, there are 50,000 male soldiers under the command of the child, and no matter whether it is the Northern Capture or the Western Domain, they dare not come to provoke the child." β
Gao Shi was a little relieved, but he still couldn't help but want to ask Zhu Ao, and said, "That's good, that's good." You have to remember, if there is a battle, don't rush to the front, you are the prince, just sit in the back and command. β
Zhu Ao smiled slightly: "Mother, please rest assured, the child is not a person who does not know the importance of things." Let's not talk about such a heavy topic, I heard my father say that you have set a family affair for your child, is it true? β
As soon as he mentioned his son's marriage, Gao smiled happily and said, "Of course it's true, can your father still lie to you?" I've seen that girl too, and it's really good, and you're going to treat her well in the future. β
Since both the father and mother said so, it seems that his fiancΓ©e is really a good woman, who doesn't want to marry a good daughter-in-law, Zhu Ao said very happily: "Yes." The child obeys his mother's command. β
Gao Shi glanced at Dai Nu again, and saw that she was already dressed as a woman, and thought that her son was young and strong, and she was afraid that she had already taken this little girl into the room, and said: "Dai Nu, this child is kind-hearted, you should also treat her well, with her, you don't have to worry about your diet and daily life as a mother." β
Dai Nu was moved for a while and cried: "Don't worry, Niangniang, I will definitely serve the prince well." β
Zhu Ao spent the New Year in the capital, and it is much more lively and prosperous here than Hexi. But Zhu Ao does not yearn for the life of drunken gold here, because this is not his land after all, his land is in Hexi, and he wants to build it into the most prosperous place in the world.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, it is the day of the big wedding selected by Qin Tianjian for Zhu Hao, and the ancient marriage process is similar to now, divided into six steps, which are Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, asking for date, and welcoming relatives. The etiquette of marrying a vassal king in the Ming Dynasty is the same as that of the crown prince and the crown princess, which is very grand.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the champion he appointed in the twenty-first year of Hongwu, Ren Hengtai, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites at the time, as his servant, and Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, as the messenger, and went to Sun's house to collect and ask for names.
First of all, Lao Zhu made a system: he ordered the daughter of the Sun family to be the princess of Su, and ordered the Qing to ask for the name ceremony.
Later, the envoy Wuding Marquis Guo Ying went to Sun Jida's house and announced that he would pay tribute to the king, and give him relatives and gifts. Sun Jida's family set up an incense case and knelt down.
The envoy made another canonization ceremony, and in addition to the incense case, the princess's family set up another case, and the princess Sun Yunqi worshipped. The messenger was instructed to give gifts and gifts of make-up.
The next thing is to welcome the relatives, before the wedding, the princess's family must first send the bed tent and other things to the palace shop, the prince in the palace to make the ring, the princess at home to take the ring.
On the day of the wedding, after Zhu Ao was ordered by Lao Zhu, he went to the princess's house to welcome the relatives. Lao Zhu has a good face, and his son marries a relative, and the pomp will definitely not be smaller than others'. Zhu Ao's welcoming procession was blowing and beating along the way, attracting the attention of hundreds of people.
The Sun family had already renovated the courtyard to welcome King Su Zhu Ao. After Zhu Ao got off the court, he walked into the gate of Sun's house. Under the guidance of the usher, you will walk into the place where the banquet will be held.
In the backyard of Sun's house, Sun Jida's wife Zhao heard the sound of blowing and beating outside, and knew that it was Zhu Ao who was coming. Frankly speaking, her daughter can marry Wang Sun, she is still very happy, whether it is the ancient mother-in-law or the current mother-in-law will watch the door, in the Ming Dynasty, who else can be higher than their old Zhu family?
Zhao also knew that after his daughter got married, he would definitely follow King Su to that remote place in Hexi, although he was a little reluctant, but seeing that his daughter had become the concubine of the dignified vassal king, Zhao was still very happy, and said: "King Su is here, you quickly put on your clothes and prepare to go out." Remember what my mother told you before. β
The most reluctant thing for a daughter to marry is her mother's mother, not to mention that Sun Yunqi is going to marry so far away in Hexi, I don't know how many times I can see my mother in this life, I can't help crying, I threw myself into Zhao's arms, and cried: "Mother, my daughter can't bear you." β
Zhao's eyes also flashed with tears, stroked his beloved daughter's head, and said: "Silly child, daughters always have to marry when they grow up, you and your sister can marry the vassal king as concubines, enjoy glory and wealth in this life, and be content with your mother." β
Sun Yunqi didn't speak, still crying.
At this time, the sound of blowing outside became noisy again, and the nurturing grandmother invited by the Sun family lifted the curtain and said hurriedly: "Oh, my eldest lady, the auspicious time is coming soon, don't hurry up and get dressed, don't delay it any longer." β
Zhao also urged Sun Yunqi to get dressed, no matter when, the woman is very eager for her marriage, Sun Yunqi did not dare to miss the auspicious time, and began to tidy up the clothes at the moment, then went down to the ground to put on shoes, put on the crown, and walked out of the house.
Zhu Ao was talking to Sun Jida at the banquet place, to be honest, this kind of scene was quite embarrassing, Weng and his son-in-law didn't know what to say, and the scene was slightly embarrassing. After the auspicious time arrived, Sun Jida tidied up his court clothes, stood up, and said, "The minister guides His Highness." "With that, go out the door.
Zhu Ao hurriedly made a move, followed out of the door, and stood facing west.
Sun Yunqi wore a bright red wedding dress, and with the support of two maids, walked into the cabinet, turned to the north, and stood south.
The maid Ren Hengtai had another complicated exchange with the officiant, and then Zhu Ao walked into the cabinet again and stood face to face with Sun Yunqi.
The royal family didn't cover the red hijab, Sun Yunqi just brought a bead curtain to gently cover his face. No one is not curious about their new daughter-in-law, Zhu Ao secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Sun Yunqi, although there was a curtain in the way, he could still see her dignified and beautiful.
Zhu Ao was overjoyed, Lao Zhu had a good eye, and he didn't pit himself. Sun Yunqi also noticed that Zhu Ao was looking at her, his face flushed with shame, and he lowered his head.
