Chapter 130: Marriage
In the concierge room, a eunuch was wearing a black gauze hat with a gold flower on the head of Wu Jin, who was wearing a red groom's brocade robe with gold trim, no belt around his waist, black leather boots on his feet, and a layer of rouge on his face, which made him radiant and full of energy.
Next to him, two palace maids accompanied the queen mother to sit in the chair to watch Wu Jin makeup, the queen mother is wearing a golden phoenix robe today, holding a dragon head cane, she came to the Lanling County palace early in the morning, she is in good spirits, is smiling at the grandson who is wearing the groom's clothes, and from time to time with the princess who accompanies her to say a few words.
At this time, Wu Jin's Fu Xiang walked in, Wu Xiang is the grandson of the king of Wuling County, called Huangfu Yinghuan, the same age as Wu Jin, and he is also tall and big, and he is now a palace guard, serving as the head of the halberd.
He bowed deeply to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, the time has come, and the relatives outside are urging." β
The Queen Mother nodded and smiled at Wu Jin: "The hour is very important, let's go!" β
Wu Jin was about to leave, but the Queen Mother stopped him again, "Wait a minute, I'm straightening your hat." β
Wu Jin squatted down in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother lovingly stuffed a strand of hair on his forehead into the hat, she was extremely distressed about Wu Jin, although the current emperor was also her son, but the weight of Prince Tianfeng in her heart was heavier, she knew that Wu Jin was actually the only relative in this world, this was the only blood left in the world by Emperor Jin An, she smiled slightly, "Are you nervous?" β
Wu Jin nodded, "A little nervous." β
"It's all like this, I remember when the prince got married, I was still so nervous that I was trembling, and when you went out, you won't be nervous, you have to remember, in the Su family, you have to know the etiquette, don't be arrogant just because you are a royal family, the Su family is a scholarly family, very high."
"If my grandson remembers it, he must know the etiquette."
The grandfather and grandson said a few words before leaving, but the emperor Fu Yinghuan next to him was very surprised, he also heard that the queen mother liked the grandson of the king of Lanling very much, but he didn't believe it, and today he saw it with his own eyes.
Although Wujin is the great-grandson of King Lao Liang, he belongs to the royal family, and can be regarded as the grandson of the Queen Mother, but after all, he is not his own grandson, but the Queen Mother treats him like her own grandson.
This made Huangfu Yinghuan envious in his heart, although they are both royal families, the difference between them is too great.
Wujin gave a salute to the Queen Mother, and walked out quickly, just when he met Baozhu to urge, "Second brother, grandfather told you to hurry up, don't miss the time." β
"I know, let's go."
Wu Jin pulled the jewel and pointed to the inner room, "Take good care of the Queen Mother." β
Baozhu stuck out his tongue and said in a low voice: "Second brother, your face is so big, I heard that the Queen Mother only participated in the prince's wedding, and even King Qi and King Zhao married concubines, and the Queen Mother did not participate. β
"This.... I can't help it, I fell in love with the Queen Mother. β
He patted Baozhu's arm lightly, and then walked quickly to the courtyard in front of the lobby, Huangfu Jiang was already waiting here, and when he saw Wujin coming out, he smiled and said, "The time has come, let's go!" β
There is a 24-person sedan chair in the courtyard, the sedan chair is covered with red silk, the porter, the drummer, the salute bearer, the servant woman with the sedan chair, there are nearly 100 people, and there are 500 plum blossom guard cavalry before and after the escort to open the way, the scale of welcoming relatives is quite huge, which is only allowed by the royal family to welcome relatives such a large scale, if it is an ordinary commoner, the welcoming team can not exceed 100 people.
In addition, according to the marriage custom, the man's family must have an elder as a greeting relative, responsible for opening the door of the woman's house, stuffing red envelopes and other things, which is equivalent to the man's representative, and is generally served by the groom's uncle.
Wu Jin has two uncles, one Chen Anbang and one Chen Dingguo, who are the two sons of the Lord of Chen Island, but you can't let the big leader of the Phoenix Society come to Wu Jin as a relative!
They can't, they can also let Huangfu Zhuo or Zhang Chongjun give him a greeting relative, one is an uncle, the other is an uncle, and it is okay, but neither of them is in the capital, so in the end, the one who greeted Wujin was the brother of Princess Lanling, called Zhao Zhen, he is also a court official, but his official position is not high, Ren Sinong Temple Taicang issued an order, just a small official from the seventh grade, but he is a tribute scholar, and he was admitted to the Ming Jing Jushi, he is considered a literati, and he can speak well, and today he will serve as the greeting relatives and wedding emcee.
Zhao Zhen looked at the hourglass, and announced loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived, welcome your relatives and set off!" β
Outside the palace gate, the sound of firecrackers suddenly resounded in the neighborhood, and the green smoke filled the air, and several family members sprinkled large baskets of copper coins on the large group of children gathered around, causing the children to scramble.
In the sound of gongs and drums and suona, the mighty welcoming team set off, two hundred plum blossom guards rode in front to open the way, one hundred horses were broken, and there were two hundred plum blossom guards on both sides of the guard.
Wu Jin is the bridegroom, he rides on a tall steed and is in high spirits, while the maid also rides a horse and wears similar clothes to the bridegroom, but the difference is also obvious, his robe is lighter in color, there is no gold edge, there is no gold flower on the hat, and there is no red silk on the horse.
Since the news of the marriage of the grandson of the king of Lanling County has spread throughout the city in advance, the welcoming procession has received great attention, and the crowd of onlookers stood on both sides of the street, pointing and discussing.
οΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌ Like the Lanling County Palace, the Su Mansion is also a mess, but the Su Mansion is a married girl, much better than the palace, they are mainly responsible for a lunch of the welcoming team, and the lunch is also very particular, no banquet, a bowl of Lantern Festival per person, plus two braised pig's trotters, the Lantern Festival means that the marriage is complete, and the braised pig's trotters indicate that the welcoming team has walked hard, make up for two feet.
Of course, each person in the welcoming team will be sealed with two taels of silver in red envelopes, and more than 600 people will need more than 1,200 taels of silver, but fortunately, the Su family is also a famous family, and these silver can be obtained.
The yard is full of dowry boxes, this is the most unique place for the Su family to marry a girl, the general ordinary people's dowry things are good silk quilts, grain, pigs and sheep, etc., large families are gold and silver jewelry, porcelain and jade, etc., and the Su family's dowry has no satin quilt, no gold, silver and jade, but fifty large boxes of books, a total of 10,000 volumes.
There are hundreds of books in Su Han's own collection, and the other more than 9,000 books are all dowry given to her by her grandfather, this is the true nature of the Su family, which is different, but it is difficult for ordinary people and even the royal family to do it.
This is the dowry decided by the Su family after a one-night meeting, it is really because the man's financial gifts sent by the Queen Mother are too amazing, they are all rare treasures, which cannot be estimated, and there are tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver alone, which makes the Su family simply unbearable, but they can't help but accept it.
If according to the principle of reciprocity of financial gifts and dowry, even if the Su family is bankrupt, they can't afford to accompany such a dowry, of course, the queen mother also specially sent someone to explain, this is her intention, and the woman's dowry is arbitrary.
Therefore, the Su family finally decided to take out 10,000 books as the dowry of the Su family, which is 30% of Su Xun's entire collection, and for the Su family, this is also an extremely expensive dowry.
Of course, there are also Su Han's own clothes and jewelry, which can add up to only one box.
At this time, Su Han, who was dressed in a full costume, was making up her final makeup, she was wearing a colorful phoenix crown, wearing a bright red and joyful Xia Shawl, her eyebrows were carefully makeup, her beauty was delicate and dazzling, and today she was going to get married, marry the person she loved, this is a lifelong event that she once looked forward to, but was once afraid of.
She is only sixteen years old this year, and the daughters of their Su family generally marry at the age of eighteen, and her grandfather also considered marrying the king of Lanling County first, and then marrying two years later, when the two sides discussed marriage, they talked about this, but the princess said that the king of Lanling County is old, two years is too long, and she hopes to get married as soon as possible.
At this time, the second son Su Hanzhen wrote a letter to remind him that if it dragged on for too long, Uncle Shen was likely to obstruct the marriage between the two families, which reminded Su Xun of what Queen Shen said about entering the palace, with Su Han's beauty, once the emperor saw it, the consequences would be very serious, and the emperor would dare to marry the queen's niece, and would he care that Su Han was the fiancΓ©e of the royal family's children?
Thinking of this consequence, Su Xun immediately made a decision, breaking the tradition of the Su family, and Su Han married at the age of sixteen.
Two brides who specialize in makeup for large brides are carefully tinkering with eyebrow pencils to tinker with the subtleties of Su Han's eyebrows, while her cousin Su Yi is standing next to her and talking to her sister.
Su Yi is also in a complicated mood about her sister's marriage, in fact, she can be said to be the matchmaker of the two of them, but she is not qualified as a matchmaker, and she is the last one in the whole house to know that Su Han and Wujin are married.
She is happy for her sister, but also a little lost in her heart, she is eleven years old, eleven-year-old girls have more or less a little hazy love, Su Yi once thought about marrying Wujin brother when she grows up, but Wujin brother did not wait for her, but married her sister.
A few days ago, she finally couldn't help but go to her trusted aunt Zhou, and quietly asked her if she could marry her again in the future after Brother Wujin married her sister, the answer was impossible, the Su family had never had a concubine as a concubine, and her grandfather would never allow it.
This cut off Su Yi's hope of marrying Wujin's brother in the future, which made her heart full of frustration and sullenness these days, but she was a little happy today, and her sister promised her that she could let her live in her own home in the future, which meant that she could also see Wujin's brother every day, isn't that the same thing as marrying him?
The little girl doesn't know what marrying is, in her opinion, marrying someone is that Brother Wujin can tell her stories every day.
At this time, Su Han's stepmother Zhou walked in, she was holding a box in her hand, walked forward and said with a smile: "Jiutian, are you nervous?" β
Su Han nodded slightly, she was indeed a little nervous, even she didn't know what she was nervous about? Maybe it was tonight's candle night in the cave room, Zhou shared the bed with her last night, and whispered to her a lot of things about men and women in the dead of night, and when she thought that thing was going to happen tonight, her heart pounded violently.
Zhou Shi opened the box, and inside the box were two silver threads, and she smiled slightly: "Nine days, I'll open the noodles for you." β
The opening of the face, that is, the use of two silk threads to twist the hair off the bride's forehead, the forehead becomes smooth, which means the end of the girl's age.
At this moment, the sound of firecrackers rang out, and the sound of drums was faintly heard in the distance, and the welcoming procession came.
