Fifteen miles outside Xuzhou City, Chengyuan was wrapped in a team to send newcomers, riding a five-flower high-headed horse. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"House ...... The house lowered the pink ...... Seat...... Well, don't do spring ...... in front of the stage."

Cheng Yuan, who was wearing a hat, had words in his mouth, and the long-term riding was really tiring and tight, even if he had been taught the essentials by a powerful master like Qiu Feihu.

"Hey...... Still can't make it up! ”

Cheng Yuan frowned. According to his understanding, people in the Tang and Song dynasties had to chant makeup poems when they welcomed the bride before the wedding, and if the poems were not good, the bride might not want to come out. However, according to his level of poetry, Yongjing can also rely on the poems that he memorized back then, and rely on his feelings to create a work, even so, the part of the Yongjing poem is a little difficult. If you want to write poems about character situations, you really can't get out of the work.

"Oops! There is also a fan poem! Chengyuan patted his head with a "snap", and remembered this again: not only do you have to write poems to urge makeup, but the bride first covers her face with a fan when she meets, and the groom has to chant a fan poem to see his wife's face......

At this time, it was the height of summer on June 12, and although it was nearly dusk, the weather was still hot. Cheng Yuan rolled up the sleeves of the gold-trimmed red crossbar round-necked robe and wiped his sweat.

Chengyuan has no household registration and no parents' family status, so this marriage is completely decided by Empress Dowager Li. Although he had nothing but a letter of intermarriage, this situation was very face-saving.

The marriage letter he held at this time was a boxwood letter sent by the Liu family, which had been exchanged with the golden silk letter he originally held from the Queen Mother. As for sending relatives, it is necessary for the imperial court to first give a mansion in Malang Chengyuan, a county in Xuzhou City, and then welcome the bride here.

Guo Wei knew that this trip was indeed a bit dangerous, so he asked Guo Rong to pick a competent candidate from the Xingjie army in the right wing to be Chengyuan's entourage. At that time, Chengyuan took the opportunity to request: There may be an old acquaintance of his in the forbidden army, and he hopes that Guo Rong can send him to follow him.

So the county Ma Lang also had this Xingjie army Zheng San by his side - or called him Shi Shouxin. With this person to follow, Chengyuan will feel a little more at ease along the way.

The group came to the north gate of Xuzhou, and Chengyuan remembered that last time they wanted to avoid trouble, so they entered the south gate and exited the south gate, and this north gate was the first time they saw it. He looked from afar, a group of people and horses at the gate of the city were waiting for them, the first one was wearing a golden crown, wearing the uniform of the county king, and his face was fierce, it was Liu Xin, the king of Xiping County, who was stationed in Xuzhou.

"Cheng Kuiyuan is far away to see the king of Xiping!"

Chengyuan dismounted and knelt on the ground and bowed to his future father-in-law.

However, he knelt on the ground for a long time without moving, and suddenly heard a horse neighing on the opposite side, followed by a sound of hooves, Chengyuan secretly looked up, only to see that Liu Xin ignored him and turned back the horse's head and walked away.

Chengyuan didn't get up at this time, and he didn't get up either, so he had to freeze there, maintaining the posture of worshipping......

After a long time, Shi Shouxin grabbed him and helped him up. Cheng Yuan got up and looked at Shi Shouxin for a while, and saw that his expression was also a little worried, obviously both of them thought that this situation didn't seem to be very good.

"Kui Xinggong, you don't have to worry," Shi Shouxin still maintained the habitual address he used to address him when he was in the Dengzhou Assassin Hall, "We have the Empress Dowager's decree, no matter how rude or deliberately humiliated King Xiping is, he must fulfill this marriage contract." After that, Kui Xinggong put the daughter-in-law of the Liu family in the Xuzhou mansion, and then returned to Guo's Shumi's army to go on a campaign, and this wife didn't have to pay attention to it in the future. ”

When Chengyuan heard what he said, he calmed down a little.

Seeing that almost all the officials in Xuzhou under Liu Xin were gone, only a dead fish-eyed guy was left to face Chengyuan and his party......

Cheng Yuan saw that this person stayed where he was and didn't react, so he quietly asked Shi Shouxin:

"Third Brother Shi, what does this mean?"

"We were sent by the imperial court, and we received the order, so my subordinates guessed that this person should be the marching officer of Xuzhou."

Chengyuan nodded and remembered this matter, the official was regarded as the person who communicated between the local officials and the imperial court, if Liu Yanseng did not go to Beijing to report on his work in person, Dengzhou also sent the official to Beijing to contact. And the post house outside Kaifeng City, where Liu Yanseng lived, was also under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Court's Jinjuan Academy.

The marcher did not speak, but spread his right arm into the city, and made a gesture to show the way. Cheng Yuan was about to talk to him with Xiaoxiao, but the man had already quickly turned his face, and then turned around.

Chengyuan's heart was on fire at this moment: "It's just that you Liu Xin is rude to me, and even this dog under your command bullies me like this!" Isn't this not for the queen mother! ”

"Humph!"

Chengyuan coughed, and was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly remembered Guo Rong's instructions to him before leaving: "This marriage contract is designated by the royal family, there must be no mistakes, as long as no one comes to kill you after entering the city, then you must be patient no matter what." ”

"Okay, I'll put up with it too......," Chengyuan muttered in a low voice, and urged the horse to follow the marcher.

The scene in Xuzhou City is like four months ago, Chengyuan even passed by the big car shop where Cao Zheng, Dou Ranlan and others lived and the tea shop on the side, at this time he only felt as if he was in a different world, and he didn't see him for a long time He was also very concerned about Dou Ranlan, I don't know if he got it after he released the list, did he go back to Tanzhou in Ma Chu? It was getting dark, and everyone was led to a gorgeous courtyard, and not far from the entrance of the courtyard there was a first-floor hall, which was very chic.

There are a man and a woman sitting on the first two chairs on the right at the entrance of the courtyard, one is Liu Xin, the king of Xiping, and the other is a woman with a beautiful face. On the left is a platform on which the decree of the imperial court is placed.

Cheng Yuan said in his heart: "She must be Princess Xiping, this woman is so beautiful, she should have a beautiful daughter." However, he glanced at Liu Xin again, and his heart went up and down again. Regardless of whether the bride's facial features are correct or not, at least a fierce face is inevitable.

He knew that the courtyard in front of him should be the county horse mansion prepared by the imperial court under the order of Xu Zhou, but the strange thing was why Liu Xin and his wife did not enter the house, but sat at the gate of this courtyard?

"Hmph, I see......"

Cheng Yuan thought about it a little and understood a little, generally speaking, when the father-in-law and mother-in-law attend the wedding, of course, they must enter the front hall of the husband's house with the newlywed wife as a worship ceremony, which means that not only the woman has to go to the man's house, but the woman's elders also have to enter.

Suppose the wedding is held at the woman's house, wouldn't that be a burden? It is very important to pass the door ceremony, it can be said that the woman respects the man's family, and it is for this reason that the imperial court wants to entrust Xuzhou to give Chengyuan a mansion.

Liu Xin may look down on his identity as "no father and no mother", but since there is the will of the imperial court, he can't really make the wedding a complication, right? Therefore, they set up this worship ceremony outside the man's courtyard, although they did not regard Chengyuan as a treasure, but they did not really enter the groom's house.

Cheng Yuan secretly sneered in his heart: "Okay, first the people outside the city ignored it, and then the worship hall was set up outdoors and the parents did not follow the bride to the door." I want to see what new tricks you have to come up with! ”

"The Bride Goes Out ......"

Suddenly, I heard a big man next to me shouting this long sound, and knew that this person was the best man. Chengyuan couldn't help but be stunned in his heart: "I'll ...... Didn't you first go to Liu's Mansion to welcome your relatives and lure the bride out? Unexpectedly, the bride had already arrived at this time. "Chengyuan just managed to come up with a hypnotic poem on the road, but it was useless all of a sudden. Knowing this, he might as well ignore this welcoming poem and change it to a fan poem!

He saw that the best man was half a head taller than himself, and this was probably one of the Liu family's humiliating flowers, right? The bride and bridesmaids both arrived, and the bride was fanned by the bridesmaids to cover her face. Chengyuan looked at the bridesmaid, her appearance was extremely rough, and her two eyes were squinting without any blazing light, just like a blind person.

Chengyuan estimated the bride's appearance according to the level of the bridesmaids, and she wanted to cry without tears......

"The newcomer worships the sun, moon and stars of heaven and earth!" The master of ceremonies began to sing and worship heaven and earth.

Chengyuan had to kneel three times and bow nine times to heaven and earth with the bride, and at this time, the fan played by the bridesmaids had been removed, but the groom and his body bowed down side by side, and they couldn't see each other clearly.

"Worship the ancestors again......"

Chengyuan's parents were not there, so they had to bow to the bride in front of the Queen Mother's decree on the left, and then Liu Xin and his wife also coldly accepted their big gift.

The bridesmaids played the fan again, and after the couple worshipped each other, this good show in the chapel was basically over, and the fan covering the face was replaced by the bride herself, so that the Cheng and Liu families were officially married. It was surprising that this wedding really ended like this without any after-show.

Chengyuan was still waiting for the messy things such as jumping the brazier and throwing grains, but who knew that Liu Xin and Princess Xiping got up quickly, and after a while, they led all kinds of people to leave the courtyard gate without saying a word. The whole wedding process is not only without relatives and friends, but also rude single gift money, etc., which is extremely sloppy.

Cheng Yuan walked into this house hand in hand with the county lord of Suning, as soon as he entered the door, Cheng Yuan couldn't help frowning, although this house is gorgeous, but it is not deep at all, as soon as he enters this small building, it is almost like facing the street, and I don't know what kind of famous people who built it at the beginning.

The bridesmaid behind him also walked in, and Cheng Yuan said in his heart: "It turns out that this bridesmaid wants to be a big girl, but unfortunately although she has a good figure, her face is very hateful." Chengyuan glanced outside the house, and saw that Shi Shouxin was still at the door, and his heart was a little more stable. But when he thought about what was going on, his heart began to pound again.

"I'm going to fan it soon," Chengyuan said in his heart, "What will my daughter-in-law Chengyuan look like?" ”
