Chapter 21 Marriage
"See my emperor, long live my emperor." At this time, Zhao Weiji was already in the palace to meet the present. Zhao Guangyi still feels full of pressure on him, but now that he is facing the saint, he no longer has the cowardice he had at the beginning, and now he has more foundation in his heart.
"Calm down, Weiji, you're doing a good job in Daizhou. When you asked to go to the army, I wasn't optimistic about you, but I didn't expect you to impress my uncle. At this time, Zhao Guangyi's words revealed a kindness that he had never seen before, and at this moment, he couldn't see that he was a generation of emperors, but he was really the same as an ordinary grandfather.
Hearing Zhao Guangyi speak to him in such a tone, Zhao Weiji couldn't help but shudder. This guy won't want to do anything to trick me.
It's no wonder that Zhao Weiji thinks like this, because from the beginning to the end, Zhao Weiji has never trusted Zhao Guangyi because of his identity. is the most ruthless emperor's family, Zhao Guangyi is suspected of usurping the throne by his senior brother, and he can even kill his own brother, so don't talk about his nephew.
But this time Zhao Weiji really thought wrong, Zhao Guangyi at this time was not only not ready to take any action against him for the time being, but was ready to win him over. The reason is very simple, because the benefits of Zhao Weiji's whimsical ideas are too many. The changes that Zhao Weiji has brought to the Song Dynasty have begun to quietly show, and they are basically good.
Although Zhao Guangyi is suspected of killing his brother and usurping the throne, the fact that he is a good emperor cannot be erased. Zhao Guangyi still hopes that Zhao Weiji will bring more and more good changes at the national level. Although he can't see why Zhao Weiji has so many whimsical ideas, he has already come up with a lot of new things, but Zhao Guangyi thinks that Zhao Weiji can make more things.
So at this time, Zhao Guangyi chose to win over Zhao Weiji, and even if he was making something new, Zhao Guangyi would help behind his back. Zhao Guangyi is not without considering the possible surname of raising tigers, but Zhao Guangyi is still very confident that at least Zhao Weiji will not form any climate when he is in office. As for his death, if the descendants are not angry and are really seized by Zhao Weiji, then they can only blame the descendants for not being angry. What's more, Zhao Weiji is also a descendant of the Zhao family, even if he wins the throne, the world is still Zhao Song. 、
"I heard that you are going to marry Lord Cheshire? This is a good thing, if you marry the Lord of Cheshire, you can resolve the grievances between our Chai and Zhao families. Zhao Guangyi continued to ask Zhao Weiji cordially.
"Yes, the minister is coming back this time and is preparing to propose marriage to the Lord of Cheshire." After affirming that Zhao Guangyi was not ready to yin himself, Zhao Weiji also began to reply boldly.
"In this way, the highest elder of our Zhao family is me. I came forward to discuss the marriage with the Cheshire Lord's mother. What do you think? ”
Although I can't figure out what it means to discuss relatives, it is estimated that it is similar to proposing marriage. Since Zhao Guangyi is willing to come forward, Zhao Weiji is naturally happy, and he also feels that the emperor is very embarrassed.
After a few more words of greeting with Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Weiji left the palace, but when he left, he didn't know if Zhao Guangyi had a new appointment for him. Since Zhao Guangyi didn't mention it, he didn't dare to ask. He needed time to prepare for the wedding anyway.
The day after returning to the house, Zhao Weiji went to see Chai Yu. Unexpectedly, after seeing Chai Yu, Chai Yu's first words were: "Do you know, the official family has already asked my mother to marry me." ”
"I know, yesterday the official family told me about the marriage. You're going to marry me. Zhao Weiji said happily.
"Oh, then we can't see each other for a while. I went back to prepare the dowry and the wedding dress. After speaking, Chai Yu turned around and ran away with a red face.
"I actually blushed." Zhao Weiji saw Chai Yu running away with a red face, and he laughed for a while.
At this time, Zhao Xin next to him spoke: "What is the young master laughing at?" Lord Cheshire is telling the truth. During this time, we have to repair the Anding County Mansion well. And this marriage is a big deal, and some have to be done. ”
When he returned to the house, when he heard the wedding steps explained by the matchmaker, Zhao Weiji immediately fainted, he never thought that it would be so troublesome for the Song Dynasty to get married.
In the Song Dynasty, there were eleven steps in the whole process of getting married, namely: marriage proposal, Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Na Yuan, asking for money, greeting relatives, sending people, women meeting aunts, temple meetings, and Xu meeting women's parents.
The whole process is roughly as follows: parents or elders agree to get married; The man gives the woman a bride price to ask for marriage; The man asks the woman's name and date of birth to calculate the good fortune; The man tells the woman after calculating the auspiciousness; then give the bride price to the woman; Agree on a date for marriage; bride to be married; conducting wedding receptions; The bride visits her in-laws; Newlyweds worship their ancestors; The son-in-law returned to the door with the bride.
Now the Anding County Mansion has begun to discuss the marriage with the Zheng Guo Mansion. Zheng Guogong is the knight of the original Zhou Gong Emperor Chai Zongxun. Since Chai Zongxun is dead, the current Zheng Guogong is Chai Zongxun's eldest son Chai Yongqi, and Chai Yongqi and Chai Yu are not born to the same mother. Chai Yongqi was born to Chai Zongxun's side room Zhang, and Chai Yu was born to the main house Lin. But because the Lin family had no son, Chai Yongqi, who came out of the concubine, inherited the title of Chai Zongxun in the end.
But the current Chai Yongqi and Chai Yu are not very good at dealing with each other, and Chai Yu is basically the cash cow of Zheng Guogong's mansion now. Her marriage is very unfavorable to the Zheng Guo Mansion, because Chai Yu's properties are in her name and not in the name of the Zheng Guo Mansion, and once she marries into the Anding County Mansion, the property will also be transferred.
But now the Zheng Guogong Mansion can't marry if he wants to, because it was Emperor Zhao Guangyi who proposed marriage this time. So the Zheng Guo Mansion was ready to extort the Anding County Mansion in the two times of Nacai and Na Yuan.
Zhao Weiji, who learned about this situation, couldn't help but feel some gratitude to Zhao Guangyi from the bottom of his heart at this moment, although he still had a way to marry Chai Yu without Zhao Guangyi coming forward, but it was not something that could be done simply by paying money. Now as long as you pay, you can send Zheng Guogong's mansion, which is not a matter for Zhao Weiji at all. Isn't there a saying in later generations that as long as a problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem? Due to Chai Yu's genius management, even during the period of leaving Bianjing, Zhao Weiji's assets continued to expand. Money is no longer a problem for the Anding County Mansion.
Nacai passed it smoothly. As for asking for names, Najib usually goes through the motions, and no fortune teller will really divinate an inauspicious hexagram to make the marriage fail. It's even simpler to use the money.
Then it was time to ask, Chai Yu's mother Lin and Zhao Weiji's mother Wang discussed the past, and finally set the eighth day of August in this year (Yongxi second year, 985 AD).
It's finally time to welcome the kiss. Early in the morning, Zhao Weiji was pulled up by Rue Xiang for a while, and then took out the court clothes that Zhao Weiji only wore when he was in the court, and helped him change them. It turns out that the marriage is wearing official uniforms, and if it is Bai Ding, you can also be allowed to borrow a Jiupin official uniform on this day.
Zhao Weiji, who has never been to the court since he crossed over, also wore this court dress for the first time. After dressing neatly, you will perform a temple ceremony and bow to your ancestors' temple to show that you are going to get married. It's just that Zhao Weiji's ancestral temple is the Great Song Taimiao, so he can't perform this temple ceremony, so he changed it to return to the Wei Palace's palace to pay tribute to his father's tablet.
At the same time, he also performed a dipping ceremony in the Wei Palace, and the eldest brother Zhao Weizheng gave a solemn explanation to Zhao Weiji on behalf of his father, and then he set off to pick up Chai Yu at the Zheng Guogong Mansion.
Originally, Chai Yu and his mother had already moved out of Zheng Guogong's mansion, but because they had to be in their parents' house to get married, they finally put the place where they left the pavilion was in Zheng Guogong's mansion.
Zhao Weiji rode a horse and led the team to welcome his relatives After arriving at the Zheng Guogong Mansion, he could not enter immediately, so he had to wait outside the door. Because at this time, the woman is also performing the temple ceremony and the dipping ceremony. After the ceremony, because Chai Yu also didn't have a father, his eldest brother Chai Yongqi reluctantly replaced the woman's father to welcome Zhao Weiji into the door, and also told Zhao Weiji a few words in a fake way. Since today is his own happy day, Zhao Weiji, who hates his uncle's words, has to listen to them with low eyebrows.
After the uncle's "lecture" was over, he finally welcomed Chai Yu out of the back hall, and then took him back to Anding County Mansion.
At this time, Zhao Weiji was almost tired and half dead, but the wedding was not over yet. After taking Chai Yu back to the Anding County Mansion, he began to carry out the most important part of the whole wedding, which was the same prison. This is the same prison in which a newlywed man and a woman eat the meat of an animal. And when he drank the wine, Zhao Weiji knew that he had been fooled for more than ten years, and he and many people in later generations always thought that this wine was what he later called a glass of wine. When he drank it, he shouted, this drinking wine is a glass of wine, yes, but it is an exchange of cups. Men and women exchanged the wine glasses that had been prepared before them, and the ones in the wine glasses were bitter. After the completion of the bond, it symbolizes that the husband and wife share weal and woe. Then the ceremony was completed.
After experiencing the wedding of the Song Dynasty in a real sense, Zhao Weiji knew that he knew that the wedding was not lively at all, and there was no etiquette. But the etiquette is very complicated, and the whole process is solemn and abnormal.
Just when Zhao Weiji thought that he would be able to cave the house after the completion of this prison, he was disappointed again. After the union is over, your groom should go to the outer hall of the house to feast on the guests.
The wedding dinner began, and it wasn't his business alone. Chai Yu, as the bride, also had to entertain the female guests in the middle hall.
He got married this time, and his brothers, the former fox friends and dog friends and the Yang family's four, five and six langs all came. Then Zhao Weiji's fate can be imagined. Although the degree of wine made in the Song Dynasty was not too high, his brother was soul piercing and did not bring the liver of his previous body. Coupled with a group of people taking turns pouring him, he was soon close to death.
The reason why he hasn't died in battle is entirely because he still needs the cave house as a support, and his firm belief is that he persevered. After sending all the guests away, Zhao Weiji went to the toilet to vomit once, and then asked people to prepare water to take a bath.
After all this was done, he went to the wing, and he finally wanted to go to the cave room.
