Chapter 121: Bad News
September 16 of the second year of this government and the second year is not a festival for the people of Huangzhou, and the festive marriage of the two families of Huang Wan is naturally highlighted. Besides, in the past few months, the people of Huangzhou have also watched Huang Laoqi return from a whip driving a mule cart to the shopkeeper of the foot shop, and in the blink of an eye, he has become the owner of the main store, the real Huang Lao.
There are many theories about the sudden turnaround of the Huang family, among which it is considered to be the closest to reality and the most convincing statement, that is, the cause of all this is from Huang Dalang, the son of Huang Laoqi, who saved Wan Chunnu, the young lady of the Wan family.
Miss Wan was kidnapped by the kidnappers invited by the thieves of Wanfu at night, and when the kidnappers were about to act to ruin Miss Wan's innocence, they asked Huang Dalang to save him, and chopped the kidnappers to death with an axe. Later, it was Huang Huadang's Langlizi who sought revenge and kidnapped the sisters and brothers of the Wan family, or Huang Dalang bravely fought with Langlizi on the river for more than 300 rounds, and finally the sisters and brothers left with all the beards and tails. So Wanjia was grateful to Dade, not only promised Miss Wanjia and Huang Dalang to be concubines, but also gave a lot of gold and silver, so the Huang family had the money to redeem the old store and expand the food exchange street.
This gossip on the streets and alleys must not be believed or fully believed, anyway, this half-belief and half-unbelief may be hidden in the truth.
Early the next morning, Huang Dalang got up and rubbed his ears and bruises with medicinal wine, and then with the help of Aunt Qi and Granny Jia, he put on a full set of groom officials' clothes and hats. Two days ago, the Huang family had already sent the makeup of the flower bun, the gold hijab and the objects that should be sent according to the regulations, and yesterday the Huang family also came to the Huang family to make a bed and hang a curtain. Although he married a concubine, he walked the etiquette of marrying a wife, so the clothes and hats sent by the Wan family were also formal official clothes, that is, a set of green Jiupin official uniforms and flower heads.
It is recorded in "Tokyo Menghualu" that the wedding customs of Bianliang in the Northern Song Dynasty are first of all the day before or early in the morning of the wedding, and the male family should give the female family "a makeup crown and pollen, and the female family will return to the public clothes and flowers". It can be seen that the bride's auspicious clothes are sent by the man's family to "urge makeup", and the groom's auspicious clothes are sent back by the woman's family. The bride's crown, also known as the flower crown in the same book, is the ancient women's clothing.
The groom's official dress is the official dress of the court, which can only be worn by people with official rank; The head was the headscarf worn by the noble and lowly men at that time, but the flower head was an auspicious dress used for weddings. Folk customs, marriage is a happy day, there are some trespasses in the clothing, and it is officially stipulated that the common people can use the nine-grade life clothes as auspicious clothes for marriage.
It's just that this outfit is worn, which makes Huang Dalang a little embarrassed, that is, the safflower on the head of the flower is too small, and there are too many green leaves...... Something seems wrong!
However, this also embarrassed Huang Dalang, he naturally didn't know whether this green hat was a matter after the Yuan Dynasty. After the Yuan Dynasty ruled China, it was stipulated that male staff in brothels should wear green turbans and green hats to distinguish them.
However, the custom is like this, so I don't say much, so I went to the main hall of my house to greet my parents according to the ritual set before, and then went to my uncle's house to greet my uncle and aunt and the wife who had not passed the door.
Because it was to marry a concubine, he didn't dare to be too ostentatious, but let people buy enough artillery and put them along the street. That's right, it's a cannonball, not a firecracker or a firecracker, it's a cannonball made of thick paper tube wrapped in gunpowder, the thickness of the thumb, divided into two types: single and double. Nowadays, the artillery bought by the Huang family is all produced in Jinghu South Road (now Hunan), and the price is also cheap, one for the two eldest sons with a single ring, and two from the five eldest sons with a double ring.
As soon as he entered the afternoon, Huang Dalang rode his horse steadily, led by someone to go to Wanjiaxing along the main street of Huangzhou, looking at his family's posture of welcoming relatives, it was inevitable that some people asked: "Marrying a concubine, as for such a swagger?" ”
This will naturally attract discussions, and some people will definitely say: "I know a lot, although the young lady of the Wan family can only marry as a concubine because of her reputation, but you can marry such a concubine in family affairs?" Besides, this Huang Dalang's wife, but now the daughter of the lord of Huangzhou, Bo, has not yet reached the end of time. This young lady of the Wan family went to the Huang family, although she is nominally a concubine, she still has to be a big and housekeeper, so the etiquette will naturally not be bad. ”
Huang Dalang naturally couldn't hear this discussion, and when he arrived at Wanjia, he did it all over again according to the rules of welcoming relatives, and he didn't dare to patrol the city to show off, so he went straight back to his home. After sending the bride into the cave house, she went to the food exchange street where the banquet was held, and gave a wedding drink to the neighbors, relatives and friends, and did not return home until about the same time.
However, this can't be stopped, and the two can only enter the cave room together after the family ceremony is performed in the evening, so Huang Dalang beckoned Yuemei to send snacks and tea to Wan Chunnu, and after saying a few words through the window, he went to Yao's house.
At this time, Yao Zheng had already returned from duty, and when he heard that he was in the study, Huang Dalang went straight to the room, and was just about to say a word in front of the room, when he heard a bang in the room, Huang Dalang pushed the door in, and happened to see a broken paperweight on the ground, as well as his uncle Yao Zheng, who was blue-faced.
"Uncle, what's going on?" Of course, Huang Dalang didn't know why Yao Zheng was angry, but he guessed that it had nothing to do with his concubine today, and he was not worried in his heart.
Yao Zheng glanced at Huang Dalang, thought about it, and handed over a piece of mulberry paper written on the table and said, "Jie'er, take a look." ”
Huang Dalang took it and took a look, but it was a newspaper of the imperial court, but there was nothing when he looked up, and he was stunned to see the middle, only to see that it was written in early September of the second year of Zhenghe (1112), and Cai Xiang (Cai Jing) changed the official name. The Kaifeng ministers were changed to Yin and Mu, and the government was divided into six Cao, and the county was divided into six cases. Reform the Liushang Bureau and establish Sanweilang; The chiefs of the two provinces are left auxiliary and right. The names of the old Jilu officials of the military generals were changed to the names of the new Jilu officials such as various doctors and Lang, called the military rank officials, with Taiwei as the head of the military rank officials, and even the Huangguan Daoliu was also filled with dynasty products.
These days, Huang Dalang not only has to read the homework "Spring and Autumn" assigned by Zhang Sizhi's old master, but also continues to read the county chronicles and the imperial court newspaper accumulated by his uncle. Knowing that during the Yuanfeng period, the imperial court carried out an official system reform and solved the problem that the official titles above the official position of Wenchen Jingguan did not match the reality, but other aspects were not involved, and now this Cai Jing obviously took advantage of a loophole and did it.
However, what Huang Dalang was surprised about was: "Uncle, when did this Cai Jing become the prime minister again?" Why don't I know? ”
Yao Zheng gritted his teeth and replied: "It was the beginning of May when the official family recalled to Beijing as an auxiliary minister, and arrived in Beijing in mid-August to serve as prime minister. ”
This Hangzhou is about 2,000 miles away from Tokyo Bianliang, nearly 3,000 miles by water, Cai Jing from Hangzhou back to Bianliang takes three months, this Huangzhou is more than 1,000 miles away from Bianliang by land, Cai Jing recalled to Beijing This kind of news is normal to delay for two or three months, after all, the news of Cai Jing's comeback is not a happy event for many people, but a bad news.
