Chapter 113: Xizhou Marriage
The news of the establishment of Chinatown and the Datang Chamber of Commerce in Xizhou soon spread, and the people of Huaiyuan Town and merchants from some nearby subject countries rushed to Xizhou.
This day is the day of Ju Yiya and Wang Xiang's wedding, Xizhou is much more lively than in the past, in addition to the Han and Xizhou people, you can see merchants from all over the world in different costumes everywhere.
The construction of Chinatown has been quite large-scale, it is estimated that it will take more than ten days to complete, the Western Regions are short of materials, with the Tang Chamber of Commerce, all kinds of materials from Datang will continue to enter Xizhou, and the shops in Chinatown are bound to become the most popular shops, and everyone has seen the huge business opportunities.
As the builder and planner of Chinatown, Wang Xiang naturally became the object of everyone's flattery, and his marriage to Princess Gaochang was a good opportunity to show his goodwill.
Even Ju Wenya didn't expect that so many people would send congratulatory gifts for her daughter's wedding.
Wang Xiang has not seen Ju Yiya since that day when the wedding was set in the Xizhou Palace, until today.
The entire Xizhou palace is dressed up in a glamorous and festive manner, and the lobby is inlaid with gold and silver, and is dotted with various colorful gemstones, which is extremely luxurious.
Ju Yiya wore a gold crown on her head, a delicate chain fell in front of her forehead, and a huge ruby was inlaid in the center, which looked extremely gorgeous, and she was wearing a dress embroidered with gold and silver threads, shining, although Wang Xiang could still feel the shame on Ju Yiya's face with a scarf.
As early as two days ago, Ju Wenya specially sent someone to guide Wang Xiang what to pay attention to when he got married, at this time he was also wearing the clothes of a Xizhou man, and Ju Yiya's golden knife was hanging around his waist, which looked a little weird, plus he made some low-level mistakes from time to time, and the begonias who were watching couldn't help laughing several times.
Although Laifu was a little worried about Wushun, he was still very happy for Wang Xiang, and he was naturally happy that his young master could marry Princess Gaochang. He, like Steward Wang, hopes that the Marquis of Linchuan Mansion can be prosperous, in ancient times, if people are not prosperous, even if they are in a high position, they will eventually be a passing cloud, only the prosperous family can prosper, which of those thousand-year-old families is not flourishing, the family concept of the ancients is very deep.
Wang Bing passed away, leaving only the prince with a new single seedling. Everyone hopes that he can have more wives and children, and it is not surprising that Wang Xiang has three wives and four concubines with his current status, which Wu Shun also knows.
Somehow, Wang Xiang suddenly remembered when he first arrived in Datang, remembered that when he first met Wushun, she was hanging from the beam in order to refuse the forced marriage of the two brothers of the Wu family, and remembered the fragrant scene when he saved Wushun.
Time flies.
"Hey, cook, what are you thinking?"
Ju Wenya handed Ju Yiya's hand into Wang Xiang's hand, the little hand was held by Wang Xiang, Ju Yiya lowered her head and became even more shy, but after waiting for a long time, she found that Wang Xiang did not react at all. Curiously raised his head and quietly glanced at him, and found that he seemed to be a little absent-minded, so he immediately pouted and asked in a low voice.
Wang Xiang woke up from his memories, and was facing Ju Yiya's big eyes, seeing that she looked very aggrieved, he immediately smiled: "I just feel like everything is like a dream." He felt the same way when he first married Wu Shun.
At that time, he always remembered that he had the soul of a modern man, and now he almost forgot where he came from.
"Why is it like a dream?"
"Because I never thought I would be able to marry such a beautiful wife." Wang Xiang's expression looked very proud.
Hearing Wang Xiang's words, Ju Yiya's face turned red, and she said deliberately: "Don't be complacent, if it weren't for Father and Grandpa Mora who had to help me get married...... I'm not going to marry you. ”
Wang Xiang lowered his head and whispered in Ju Yiya's ear: "Then why didn't you ask me for the golden knife after returning to Xizhou?" Hehe, I didn't know the golden knife was so important. If I had known, I wouldn't have given it back to you when you first staked the golden knife to me. ”
Ju Yiya's ears were itchy from Wang Xiang's breath, and she couldn't help but shrink her neck and didn't speak. I felt a burst of sweetness in my heart, there is no woman who doesn't like to listen to sweet words, especially the person who says sweet words or the person she likes.
The wedding lasted until midnight, and the lobby was still noisy and lively, and Wang Xiang pulled Ju Yiya back to the wedding room behind the palace.
The room was very warmly furnished, with Wang Xiang and Ju Yiya sitting side by side on the edge of the bed. Both were silent.
After a while, Ju Yiya asked in a low voice, "I heard that someone from Chang'an came to see you, did your wife from Chang'an send someone?" There was a hint of sourness in his tone, and there was some inexplicable nervousness.
In fact, it is more common for men to have three wives and four concubines in the Western Regions than in the Tang Dynasty, and many generals in Xizhou even married more than a dozen wives. However, Ju Yiya is not an ordinary woman, she is a princess of Gaochang who is loved by thousands of people, and her willingness to marry herself who has already married still makes Wang Xiang very moved.
Wang Xiang nodded and said: "My wife's health has not been very good, a while ago I heard that I met a Turkic assassin, and then I heard that there was a war on the border, and I fell ill under the worry. ”
Sensing Wang Xiang's worry, Ju Yiya asked in a low voice, "That...... Is my sister's body okay? ”
Hearing Ju Yiya call Wushun's sister Wang Xiang's heart warmed, he kissed her forehead lightly and said gently: "There should be no problem with Doctor Sun taking care of it, and when the matter here is done, I will take you back to Chang'an with me." ”
Wang Xiang's intimate actions made Ju Yiya a little unaccustomed, and she lowered her head shyly and said, "Don't you like Xizhou?" ”
Wang Xiang shook his head and smiled: "It's not, it's just that I've been away from Chang'an for some days." ”
In fact, Ju Yiya also knew that it was impossible to stay in Xizhou as Wang Xiang, even if he was willing, he was afraid that His Majesty Tian Khan would not agree, so she was ready to follow Wang Xiang back to Chang'an, but she was a little reluctant to her father.
Wang Xiang saw Ju Yiya's thoughts and comforted: "When the Datang Chamber of Commerce is built, the trade between Chang'an and Xizhou will be very frequent, and it will be much more convenient to travel back and forth between Chang'an and Xizhou. ”
"Really?" Ju Yiya suddenly became excited.
Wang Xiang said with a smile: "Of course, I have asked Laifu to select a few shops in Chinatown, which will be our family's industry in the future, so naturally we must come and see them often." ”
Ju Yiya smiled sweetly when she heard this: "Cook, you are so good." ”
"We're all married, why do you still call me a cook?"
"That'...... So what do I call you? Ju Yiya's eyes were a little evasive.
Wang Xiang approached Ju Yiya and smiled: "Of course you call me husband, it's getting late, let's rest early, lady." ”
