At three o'clock in the morning, the Empress Dowager Chu sent two maids of Chongde Palace to lead eight palace ladies to Lu Mansion and Xie Mansion, and passed the decree to announce that Lu Weirui and Xie Daoyun entered Chongde Palace, the matchmaker took the lead, Lu Na and his wife, Xie An and his wife followed, and those wedding girls rode into Taicheng together, and the teams of the two governments got off at the car door and walked into Chongde Palace one by one
Originally, the bridegroom went to the bride's house to share the prison order with the bride in the green house arranged at the woman's house, that is, the newlyweds ate in a prison plate, and then divided a gourd into two, and the husband and wife each drank one by one with their own wine
If there is no Xie An's wisdom and ingenuity to arrange, then Chen Caozhi will have to run at both ends, eat a meal and drink half a gourd in the prison here in the Lu Mansion, welcome Lu Weirui to the Chen Mansion, and then go to the Xie Mansion to join Xie Daoyun together, busy and disorderly, absurd and rude, such a wedding is not a centennial event, but a farce
And now, the two daughters Qi to Chongde Palace, the Empress Dowager Chu ordered the female officials and the inner supervisor to Zhang Buqinglu in the square in front of the palace, and invited Lu Weirui, Xie Daoyun and a group of scholars to help marry the girls, and the Empress Dowager Chu personally gave Lu and Xie the second daughter the left and right ladies to give the order, Fang Yi prison candles, carved and colored ornaments, gold and silver ties, miscellaneous luxury, etiquette in the middle of winter, unprecedented, those who helped marry the scholars were envious, and the Queen Mother could give marriage, what a glory!
Xin'an princess Sima Daofu also came to Chongde Palace to watch the ceremony, seeing that Chen Caozhi's wedding with Lu and Xie Ernu was so prosperous and luxurious, it was more grand and lively than the wedding she married Huan Ji the year before last, and then looked at Xie Daoyun's tall and beautiful, Lu Weirui was gentle and pure, these two people were going to marry Chen Caozhi, Sima Daofu was really like a knife, he couldn't stand it, and went out of Chongde Palace to cry to his father Sima Yu and went to Yiyi-
The beginning of the village. 1, Chen Caozhi, who was dressed in a dark wedding dress, was led by two female officials to Chongde Palace, first to see the Empress Dowager Chu, and the Empress Dowager Chu summoned Lu and Xie to the front together, saying some auspicious blessings, Lu Weirui, Xie Daoyun's high bun collapsed, cancer, and Xia Wei were gorgeous, both of them had a delicate fan in their hands, and when facing Chen Cao, they covered their faces with a fan
At the beginning of the ceremony of the joint prison, the lacquerware prison plate is also specially made, especially larger, so that Chen Caozhi and Lu Weirui and Xie Daoyun can eat together, when eating, Lu and Xie Ernu are also fans to cover their faces, which is a bit of a taste of wanting to cover up, Chen Caozhi looked at the two small mouths under the fan, Xie Daoyun's lips are slightly thinner, the lip color is slightly lighter, but the lip line is extremely beautiful; Lu Weirui's lips were ruddy and delicate, like two petals of cherries, which made him want to kiss them one by one
In the face of Lu and Xie's two daughters, Chen Caozhi's food did not know the taste, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, he could finally marry a wife, although there were thirty men and twenty women in ancient rites to get married, but for Wei and Jin in a world with a short lifespan, there are not many people who have not yet married at the age of twenty, Wei Rui has waited for him for three years and three years since he was fifteen years old, and now he can finally marry her, and Dao Yun, where will there be less for him, Qing Tan refuses to marry, thousands of miles together, that subtle emotional transformation, unconsciously, unforgettable, now, What an incredible happiness it is for these two beautiful women to become his wife!
When drinking the wine, the gourd also chose a large gourd, divided into three, the three of them each held a scoop of wine, Chen Caozhi looked at Lu and Xie Ernu out of his mind, Lu Weirui and Xie Daoyun also peeped at Chen Caozhi from behind the fan, and when he saw him drinking, the wine accidentally dripped to his chest, and the two women looked at each other, and couldn't help but look at each other
When the auspicious time came, the two brides were going to their husband's house, outside the gate of the palace city, Chen Caozhi's clansmen, friends, and colleagues took the car to the enemy, waiting for Chen Caozhi to lead the two brides out, and the common rite was to shout: "Bride, urge out." It is the so-called hypnotic makeup, but in the palace ban, they dare not be presumptuous, everyone looks at each other, silently, and feels funny, and the low laughter is endless
At the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Chongde kissed Lu Weirui and Xie Daoyun out of Chongde Palace, so Zilu and Xie Ernu seemed to be the daughters of the Queen Mother, Xie An and his wife, Lu Na and his wife became guests, the Empress Dowager Chongde did not think about recognizing Wei Mo and Dao Yun as righteous daughters, but she was the Queen Mother, and the Empress Dowager recognized that the righteous daughter was going to give the princess the title, this matter was too big, and the Empress Dowager Chongde had always acted cautiously, so the thoughts were pressed one by one-
Lu Weirui and Xie Daoyun boarded the painting wheel four cars together, this painting wheel four cars are only qualified for noble women to ride the wedding car, only the top cover, all sides are uncovered, so that others can see the bride one by one that Lu Weirui and Xie Daoyun stand on the painting wheel four cars, are holding fans to cover their faces, but the delicate beauty wants to cover the spittle, 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 audience shoulder to shoulder, the emperor has only one queen, Chen Caozhi can marry double, such a strange thing, unheard of, But this is definitely a good thing, a happy event, and Chen Caozhi's reputation is good, and the relationship with Lu and Xie is so good, and now that good things are coming, it is really a celebration in the city, as if it is a festival."
Phoenix Murong Chong rode a famous horse from Longcheng and also paraded with the convoy as a member of the personal welcome team, Murong Ling was afraid that he would be rude, so he followed him and stared at him, Murong Chong said to his brother: "Brother, since I have sworn that I will never spoil the mission of Brother's trip, I just want to see how beautiful Chen Caozhi's two wives are, whether they are better than my sister." After that, he tried to urge the horse to get close to the painting wheel and look at the car, but he was far away before, and he only saw the figures of Lu and Xie, and he couldn't see his faces
Murong Chong still wanted to squeeze closer, but suddenly felt a shock in the saddle, the mount under his crotch stopped, and he didn't urge, seeing the painting wheel looking at the car far away, he was anxiously wondering, and suddenly heard a low and cold voice in his ear: "Little white slave, what do you want to do?" ”
Murong Chong was furious, turned his head and saw that this person was like an iron tower, standing on the ground one step taller than he was riding on a tall horse, his face was full of stubble like a bronze halberd breaking out of the ground, his nose was open, his eyes were fierce, and he was holding the back saddle of his mount with one hand
Although Murong Chong was bold, after all, he was only a nine-year-old child, and he was startled by this fierce and vicious giant, and recognized that this was Chen Caozhi's clan brother, so he calmed down and said, "Is it okay for a distant guest to come to watch the ceremony?" I was a little timid in my heart, and I didn't dare to investigate the humiliation of being scolded as a "little white slave".
Ran Sheng said in a deep voice: "If you dare to make trouble and disturb my brother's wedding, I will pinch you to death!" You have to understand that this is Jiankang, not Yecheng. ”
Murong Ling and a few Xianbei attendants urged the horses over, and Ran Yu let go of the saddle of Murong Chong's mount, bowed his hand to Murong Ling slightly, and strode after the painting wheel to look at the car, Murong Ling asked: "King Zhongshan, what did this Chen Zisheng say to you?" ”
Murong Chong was scolded as a white slave, but he couldn't vent his anger, his heart was extremely sad, and he said hatefully: "This person is rude, one day, I will raise troops to set foot in Jiankang, and the first one will not spare this Chen Shousheng."
Murong Chong was not without scheming, he said this in Xianbei language, but Murong Ling was still very nervous, and said in a low voice: "King Zhongshan, don't say such things again, I am waiting for this, I have to ask Chen Caozhi, the fourth uncle Taiyuan Wang's old illness has recurred, and the group of doctors is tied, only Chen Caozhi may have a good prescription, we must endure this moment, and there should be a day when we raise our eyebrows after a long time." ”
Murong Chong tried to calm the anger in his chest, nodded and said, "I understand, how can I be an unreasonable person." Looking at the painting wheel that was surrounded by the distance, he looked at the car and said: "Chen Caozhi's two wives have mediocre complexions, they can be said to be ugly, and they are not as good as my sister and my rouge warrior, this Chen Caozhi is really eyeless!" ”
Murong Ling Fang also saw Lu and Xie Ernu, although they couldn't cover their faces with a fan, they were obviously extremely outstanding beauties among the Han people, and they were a little bit ugly, but since Murong Chong wanted to say this, he had to echo him, let him dissipate his anger, and said: "What King Zhongshan said is extremely true, if you want to say that beauty, of course, my Xianbei woman is more beautiful, Chen Caozhi refuses to stay in my Yan Kingdom, that is a huge loss for Chen Caozhi, sooner or later he will regret it."
Unexpectedly, Murong Chong's blue eyes glared and said, "Brother, you don't want to say such things to me, "When I'm a child!" He dismounted with a crotch and headed north.
Murong Ling shook his head, this phoenix, you treat him as a child, and he is very shrewd, "But what he just said upside down black and white is not childish!"
The personal welcome team from Taicheng to Hengtang, Lu Fu as Lu Weirui's marrying servants, healthy women, and maidservants followed, there were as many as 100 people, and the makeup utensils were full 80 ox carts, stretching for several miles, and the people who watched the excitement along the way were amazed, and they all said that the Lu family of Wu County was rich in wealth, and it seemed that they were determined to surpass the Xie family in the dowry, so as to highlight the status of Mrs. Lu Weiruizuo
Mrs. Xie Liu Tang and her husband Xie An were in the same car, and a servant woman reported the dowry of the Lu Mansion to her for a few days, and Mrs. Xie Liu Tang was shocked: "My Xie Mansion only prepares forty servants and forty cars of makeup for Ah Yuan, and I am not compared to the Lu family, my Ah Yuan is a step lower than Lu Weirui in the Chen Mansion!" ”
Xie An shook the pu kui fan in his hand, disagreed, and said with a smile: "Fighting with the Lu family, that is hitting the stone with an egg, do you know that the Lu family still has sixty acres of fertile land to marry!" You can rest assured, Ah Yuan will never be inferior to the Lu family because of this.
Ladies and gentlemen, do you use tickets as a gift, how embarrassed it is to participate in such a rare wedding empty-handed.
