Chapter 159: Xiao Fan's Wedding

The golden book of honor has been awarded, under the gaze of Zhu Yuanzhang with hatred and anger, Xiao Fan bowed to him three times, and then went out of the Fengtian Hall under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Life is proud, the title of the gold list, this ...... Xiao Fan seems to have experienced it, at least he is currently from the same Jinshi, although the identity of this Jinshi is given by Zhu Yuanzhang, but the identity of the imperial gift is also an identity.

There is another proud thing, that is, the candle in the cave room, this matter can be realized tonight.

Xiao Fan's heart was stirred, the shameful hat of a virgin has been worn on his head for two lifetimes, and tonight he must be ashamed of two lifetimes, say goodbye to his virgin career completely, and dedicate all the savings of more than 40 years to Jiangdu.

Everyone surrounded Xiao Fan, and the group came to Zhaoren Palace.

Dozens of eunuchs and palace maids were waiting in front of the palace gate, smiling with blessings on their faces, and looking at Xiao Fan kindly.

The surname of the county lord of Jiangdu is gentle and gentle, and he is also very kind and lenient to the palace people, so the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace also have a very good impression of the eldest granddaughter of the Son of Heaven.

Xiao Fan approached Zhaoren Palace elegantly and dignifiedly, and showed a gentle smile to the palace people, and the sincerity in the smile doubled the favor of the palace people.

Zhu Yunwen stood in front of the palace gate with a smile on his face, and seeing Xiao Fan wearing a happy appearance, the smile on Zhu Yunwen's face deepened.

Behind Zhu Yunwen there is also a group of children of the Zhu family, they are all Zhu Yuanzhang's daughters or granddaughters, all of them have the title of princess and county lord, and their status is very noble, they gathered behind Zhu Yunwen, seeing Xiao Fan and others coming, they couldn't help but look curiously one by one, and then shrank back with a red face, hiding behind Zhu Yunwen and chattering about the appearance and demeanor of this new guest of honor. The atmosphere was very warm.

Walking through the cascading rockeries and ponds outside the hall, Xiao Fan walked up the white jade steps of Zhaoren Palace, Zhu Yunwen stood on the steps and suddenly stretched out his arms to stop him, winked at Xiao Fan mischievously and smiled: "What are you doing here?" โ€

Xiao Fan paused, then looked down at his bright red auspicious clothes, and said angrily: "You see me dressed like a big red envelope, so I can't come to dinner, right?" โ€

Zhu Yunwen laughed, then smiled, and said seriously: "If you want to enter the palace from me to marry my imperial sister, it is not so easy to ......."

Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want?" โ€

Seeing Xiao Fan's nervous appearance, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but laugh again: "It's very simple, according to the rules, you have to make a hypnotic poem, and if we are all satisfied, I can let you in to marry the imperial sister......"

The princesses and county lords behind Zhu Yunwen immediately agreed, and they laughed and laughed.

"Who's the rule? Isn't this a big joy to block me? It's nothing to write any poems......" Xiao Fan was suddenly a little unhappy.

Zhu Yunwen smiled: "This is a custom set since ancient times, and only by making a hypnotic poem can you be qualified to marry the royal sister, you are a man, of course you have to take the initiative......"

Xiao Fanjun's face fell: "Your Highness, you know me,...... I like to be passive. โ€

Zhu Yunwen: "............"

The official of the Ministry of Rites on the side saw that it was not a way to consume it like this, the auspicious time was coming, and it would be unlucky if the hour was delayed, so he took out the hypnotic poem that had been prepared and quietly handed it to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan took it, glanced at it a few times, and then read it out loud: "Less makeup silver whitewashes Jintian, upright smallpox is expensive and natural." Smelling that the forbidden season is different, the fragrance of Jiuqiu is full of mirrors. โ€

Zhu Yunwen and the princesses and county lords behind him were stunned, and before they could come back to their senses, Xiao Fan began to applaud himself and praised: "Good poetry!" It's so well written......"

At this time, Zhu Yunwen and the princess and the county lord reacted, and shouted that they would not agree, and they were not allowed to deal with the poems of the Tang Dynasty, and they all asked Xiao Fan to write another poem.

The official of the Ministry of Rites was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, kept looking up at the sky, and whispered in Xiao Fan's ear: "Uncle Xiao, why don't you make a song yourself, the auspicious time is coming......"

Xiao Fan couldn't make any poems, he suddenly became anxious when he heard the words, stomped his feet with hatred, pointed to the princesses and county lords behind Zhu Yunwen and said loudly: "You embarrass me again, beware that I will marry your unmarried brains in the future!" โ€

The princess and county lords immediately stopped talking, staring at Xiao Fan with wide eyes in disbelief, Zhu Yunjun's face was as black as Bao Zheng, and he kept wiping cold sweat, and there was a death-like silence in front of Zhaoren Palace...... After a long time, only a certain princess was heard to exclaim, and the princesses and county lords flashed to both sides quickly, making way for a wide avenue leading to the palace gate, and then the princess county lords stomped their feet in anger and stomped their feet, and lowered their heads in shame.

Xiao Fan laughed, then glared at Zhu Yunwen and said, "What about you?" Brother-in-law, you still don't get out of the way? โ€

Zhu Yunwen stretched out his thumb at Xiao Fan: "You are amazing...... If you retreat from a thousand armies, Zhuge Liang can't compare to you. โ€

The red phoenix crown and the red hijab, the lord of Jiangdu, with the support of the palace maids, walked out of the palace gate of Zhaoren Palace.

Now that she is the wife of the Xiao family, the lord of Jiangdu who got her wish is full of joy, although her head covers her face, she still stains her cheeks, I don't know whether she is excited or shy.

Xiao Fan stood in front of the gate of the palace and greeted the county lord of Jiangdu, and his heart was also very excited.

As the saying goes, good things are grinding, he almost lost his life for the thrush and Jiangdu, and now he is not extremely Tailai, his wish has been fulfilled, and he finally holds the beauty.

Reaching out to hold the slender jade hand of the county lord of Jiangdu, Xiao Fan was full of tenderness in his heart at the moment, this is my wife, holding the hand of the son, the meaning of growing old with the son, only the moment when you really hold hands, can you understand the weight, responsibility and responsibility, from this moment on, it officially fell on his shoulders.

Greeting was the last step of the wedding in ancient times, surrounded by everyone, Xiao Fan took the hand of the county lord of Jiangdu and walked outside the palace.

A group of people walked through the halls of the inner palace lively, Xiao Fan sent the county lord of Jiangdu to the Luan car dressed in red and green, and then he also stepped on the horse, by the Jinshui Bridge, the eunuch shook the dust with a happy face, and sang loudly: "The newcomer arrives, and the guard of honor sets offโ€”โ€”"

Outside the Jinshui Bridge, two columns of hundreds of people of the forbidden army brocade clothes guard immediately moved, the front team held a fan, gourd, hammer and other honor guards, the rear team carried the internal officials and supervisors have already been prepared, stretching for nearly two miles long county lord dowry, after crossing the Jinshui Bridge, and the Jinyi Wei Zhen Fu Division of hundreds of captains who came to greet the relatives converged, the gongs and drums suona shook the sky, a line of nearly 1,000 people, surrounded by the Luan of the Jiangdu county lord, and Xiao Fan who rode a big horse next to the Luan driver, and drove to the Xiao Mansion.

Jin Yiwei commanded the adults to marry, and married the granddaughter of today's son, how could the people of Jingshi not know about such a major matter?

As soon as the mighty guard of honor came out of the Chengtian Gate, it was surrounded by the people who heard the wind.

Xiao Fan was imprisoned by Zhu Yuanzhang because he was unwilling to leave his original match, his deeds have long been known to the people in the Beijing market, and he was in a high position in the year of the weak crown, and it is even more rare for him to be in a high position, but he is unwilling to divorce his wife for wealth, this thought is still rare, the people of Beijing have doubled their good impression of him, and many daughters to be married have secretly made a wish in the boudoir, willing to marry an infatuated lover like Xiao Lang, this life is enough.

Today, Xiao Fan has worked hard, and finally got his wish and returned to the beauty, and the people of Beijing are naturally happy to see it, so they have gathered around the guard of honor on the street, in addition to joining in the fun, it is also to touch the joy and nobility of this young courtier who holds great power at a young age.

Xiao Fan saw the tide pouring into the people surrounding the guard of honor, and kept congratulating him, Xiao Fan couldn't help but smile happily, turned his head to Cao Yi next to him and said: "The people are so enthusiastic, the scene of thousands of people congratulating is rare, so enthusiastic that I can't wait to get married a few more times......"

Cao Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Bastard...... Do you dare to say this in front of the Son of Heaven? โ€

Xiao Fan hurriedly shook his head: "That's looking for death, don't you know, just now in the Golden Palace, the Son of Heaven sprayed my face with saliva......"

"That's called ambergris......"

"Yes, ambergris!"

The guard of honor to send relatives was surrounded by the people and could not move for a while, and thousands of people were suddenly trapped outside the Chengtian Gate. So the guard of honor and the people stopped in place, and the scene of thousands of empty alleys was like visiting a temple fair, and the guard of honor to send relatives suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation.

Cao Yi looked at the chaotic scene in front of him worriedly, sighed and said, "What should I do?" I'm afraid I'll lose time if I can't walk......"

At this time, the sweaty official of the Ministry of Rites also walked up to Xiao Fanma with a worried face, and said uneasily: "Uncle, it can't go on like this, if the honor guard doesn't set off again, the auspicious time will be missed......"

Cao Yi was also anxious, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he said viciously: "Why don't you just ask the brothers to whip off the streets, the auspicious time can't be delayed, this is a matter that concerns you for a lifetime......"

Xiao Fan shook his head and said: "No, the people come to congratulate sincerely, if I let the brothers beat people to open the way, my reputation will also be notorious, and I am afraid that I will be impeached by those imperial historians who are full of food and have nothing to do......"

Cao Yi hurriedly said: "Then what should I do?" โ€

Xiao Fan let out a long sigh: "What else can I do?" Traffic diversion ......"

So Xiao Fan reluctantly got off the horse, personally led a group of Jinyi captains to the front of the honor guard, and said loudly to the people: "Fathers and fellow villagers, thank you for your congratulations, Xiao is grateful, and please get out of the way, let the honor guard pass through, it is not good to delay the auspicious time, please cooperate with it......"

Saying that, Xiao Fan Ben walked forward first, and shouted loudly: "Let go!" Let's get it! Don't get in the way! Honor guard, keep moving forward, and the people behind will follow! Beware of pickpockets......"

"Fathers and fellow villagers, don't surround it, it's not early, hurry home to collect clothes and milk children, there are many things waiting for you to do, what's so lively to see, it's all scattered, scattered! โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

Under the command of Xiao Fan, the team began to slowly squirm forward, most of the people consciously got out of the way, and a small number of people who were blocked in the road and refused to go, and they were also glared at by the fierce Jinyi captain, and they were so frightened that they immediately flashed to the side, and the road was quickly restored to the open.

Xiao Fan stood next to the team, watching the speed of the family sending team gradually accelerating, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Before he could finish his breath, he suddenly saw that the team was not moving again.

Xiao Fan was a little angry at this time, and hurriedly ran to the front of the team with a red neck, and said angrily: "What's the matter?" Why did it stop again? โ€

The Jinyi lieutenant who opened the road in front pointed to the center of the road angrily, but saw a mule cart parked horizontally in the middle of the road, how did the mule who pulled the cart swing the whip and refused to move, and the big man who was so anxious to catch the car was covered in a cold sweat, for fear that this group of Jinyi captains with a bad look would be impatient to wait and chop him off with a knife.

Xiao Fan looked up at the sky anxiously, it was not too early, and he couldn't afford to delay any longer. So he hurriedly ran to the cart and said angrily, "What's the matter? When I got married, you got a mule cart to block the middle of the road, and you deliberately came to smash my yard, right? โ€

The man who was driving the cart was frightened, and pointed to the mule cart for a long time, but did not dare to make a sound.

As soon as Xiao Fan got closer, he smelled a pungent smell, couldn't help frowning, casually pulled over a Jinyi lieutenant beside him, and then pointed to the face of the Jinyi lieutenant and ordered the man who was driving the car: "Blow!" โ€

The man who was driving the car said: "Huh? โ€

The man opened his mouth, and the captain of the brocade also frowned.

Xiao Fan asked the lieutenant, "What do you smell?" โ€

"My lord, I smell the wine."

Xiao Fan's face changed, and he said fiercely: "Drunk driving, detained for fifteen days, the mule cart is detained, and it will be returned to him after fifteen days, come on, take down all this man and mules!" โ€

The lieutenants responded, and then rushed up, and the road was soon clear again.

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ Watching the guard of honor to send off relatives all the way to Xiao's mansion, Xiao Fan and Cao Yi stood on the side of the road and finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at each other with relaxed expressions and smiling.

"This shouldn't delay the auspicious time...... Xiao Fan stood in the middle of the road and looked at the honor guard that had disappeared from a distance, he felt satisfaction that he had never felt before, as if he had done a good deed, and his heart was very full.

Cao Yi glanced at him strangely, then rubbed his nose and said slowly, "Lord Xiao, do you feel that something is wrong?" โ€

Xiao Fan said: "What's wrong?" โ€

Cao Yi couldn't help but smile and said leisurely: "The county lord's Luan has passed, and the honor guard can't see the shadow anymore, and the auspicious time will not be delayed, but ...... The county lord entered the door of the Xiao family, who worshipped her? โ€

"Me!"

"Now that you know, why are you still standing here like you're nobody?"

Xiao Fan's relaxed expression changed suddenly, his eyes widened and he stared at Cao Yi for a long time, then turned his head and looked at the honor guard in front of him, whose shadow had long been invisible, and his handsome face was instantly distorted like a mournful concubine.

"Stop...... Stop, I'm still here! Xiao Fan's voice changed his tune, and he shouted with a cry at the end of the street far ahead.

"What about horses? What about the horse I just rode? โ€

"I've followed the guard of honor."

"Damn! So what are you waiting for, let's hurry up and chase it! Xiao Fan stomped his feet with tears streaming down his face.

So, on the noisy street, a groom in a bright red groom and a bearded bearded man stumbled all the way forward as if crazy...... "These people are too out of tune!" Didn't they notice that something was missing? On the way, Xiao Fan panted and complained while running.

Cao Yi snorted angrily: "I don't think it's you who is the one who is in tune, you said that you are a good groom official, the commander of the dignified brocade guard, and the county lord's guest of honor, do you need to go down to clear the road in person?" โ€

Xiao Fan said sadly: "Aren't I in a hurry......

The two complained while running, and when they ran to the gate of the Xiao Mansion, the two were so tired that they were about to die.

The grief and indignation in Xiao Fan's heart became more and more intense, he had seen a lot of marriages, and he had never seen such an absurd marriage as himself, but now he said that he had opened his eyes.

The two bent over their knees and gasped for a long time before they straightened up, but at first glance, the two were dumbfounded.

I saw that the guard of honor has swept into the Xiao Mansion, and the dowry of the county lord has also been carried in, but there is a large group of people in front of the gate to see the excitement.

Xiao Fan and Cao Yi glanced at each other and found that each other's eyes were full of bitterness.

The two gritted their teeth, and as if they were charging into battle, they got into the crowd, Xiao Fan squeezed into the crowd, like a flat boat in an angry sea, swaying left and right with the waves of people, miserable and embarrassed.

"Get out of the way! Let me in! I've got something to do, don't stand in the way! Xiao Fan struggled to straighten his neck in the crowd, and shouted angrily to the sky.

On the other side, Cao Yi's roar was also heard from afar: "Lao Tzu is a thousand households in Jinyi!" Get out of the way! Otherwise, I'll catch you all...... Yes! Who? Who kicked Lao Tzu? Stand out! โ€

Xiao Fan wanted to cry without tears, like a loach in the mud, and drilled forward.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Today, this happy event in the Xiao Mansion can't be done without my designation! โ€

The onlookers scoffed and said, "Who are you?" When people get married, won't they be married without you? It's just arrogant! โ€

Xiao Fan was furious, trembled violently, and struggled to squeeze the people around him aside, revealing the open space, and then pointed to his bright red auspicious clothes, and said with a crying voice: "Am I arrogant? Am I arrogant? Lao Tzu is the groom's official! Without me, you can ask the people inside to marry and try! โ€
