Chapter 47: Difficulties

Today, Chang'an City is full of joy, especially Du Mansion is even more lively.

Not for anything else, today it is the famous Du Jiaerlang of Chang'an, the famous Du Jiaerlang and the eldest princess of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, Princess Changle.

Du Jia Erlang became famous this year, at the beginning of the year, on the Yuan Festival, with a song "Ai Lian Said", which was well received by the world, and then won three gold medals in the brave competition, with the strength of one person, creating a unique feat; In the hunting project, he slaughtered the two tigers and became a little hero who was praised by everyone for fighting tigers, and a few months ago he won the nickname of a merry and talented man with two love poems in Yanchun Tower! Recently, he has made up two treasures, paper and movable type printing.

All kinds of things, one by one, are difficult to talk about, but they all show that Du Jiaerlang is in the limelight and has attracted the attention of gossip people throughout Chang'an.

The eldest princess Changle is certainly not as famous as Du Hehehe, but she is virtuous and virtuous, and everyone knows that a lotus flower on the Shangyuan Festival at the beginning of the year directly defines her as a painter no less than Yan Liben.

The marriage between the two of them is the so-called match made in heaven.

The busy time of the farm has just passed, and the people's free time is sufficient, and in the face of such excitement, they naturally do not want to miss it, and they are waiting one by one on the way to Duhe to welcome their relatives and watch the good show.

The drum band and the guard of honor opened the way in front, and the sedan chair bearers carried the sedan chair in the center of the procession. After all, Changle is the eldest princess, not only the princess with the most noble status in the Tang Dynasty, but also the heart and soul of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, the treasure in his palm.

When the dowry was set a few days ago, Li Shimin specially requested that Princess Changle's dowry be more than double that of Princess Yongjia. Princess Yongjia is the younger sister of Li Shimin, the eldest princess of the former emperor Li Yuan, when she married in the past, the dowry was the most generous, incomparable.

Li Shimin specially wanted to double Princess Yongle's dowry, which shows his importance and doting on Princess Changle. However, Wei Zheng put a big hat down and dismissed the matter.

In the face of Li Shimin, who attaches so much importance to this marriage, the Du family can only try to make the marriage more grand and grand.

They attracted countless eyeballs on the road, and Duhe rode his horse in front of the sedan chair, walking leisurely, shaking his hand at the people left and right. At this moment, he is wearing a red robe, with a red flower on his head, and a huge paper red flower on his chest, a bright body, coupled with his heartfelt "smile", riding on a white horse without variegation, the whole person is even more handsome and chic, in the crowd, it is standout, elegant, and alive with the posture of Prince Charming, which is enviable. Especially the big girls were fascinated when they looked at Du He's dignified appearance, and they all talked about it, stretching their necks to watch.

"Look, this is the famous Du Jiaerlang, look at the temperament of others, that appearance, like a golden boy in the sky, no wonder you can marry a princess! ……”

"What does marrying a princess have to do with appearance, Du Jiaerlang relies on talent, you don't go to inquire, Du Jiaerlang's literary talent is a lot better, he writes poetry, it's as simple and easy as drinking water."

"...... What is the merit of composing poetry, Du Jiaerlang is strong in kung fu, the brave compete, and won three gold medals, where to find such a talented character? ”

All kinds of gossip came from time to time in the crowd!

But I don't know that the gossip person sits on horseback like a fire, and it is a great blessing to be able to marry Changle, a beautiful wife like flowers and jade, but he really can't stand this dress.

He doesn't like red very much, if it is said that marriage must be prosperous, it is just that, endure it and deal with it, but the big red flower in front of him, as well as the flower arrangement on his head, is really unbearable, and he is not a girl, do this thing, since he put on this thing, he did not dare to look in the mirror, for fear of causing a psychological shadow.

Of course, it is not easy to lose face in front of everyone, so I can only endure the discomfort and try to persevere.

Originally, the princess would have a princess mansion when she got married, but Changle categorically rejected Li Shimin's kindness and said: "The daughter marries into the Du family, she is the daughter-in-law of the Du family, her husband and children, and she respects her in-laws. Instead of wasting money and things for your sons, it is better to use them for what they should use. Li Shimin couldn't resist Changle at this point, so the place where the princess got married was changed to the palace of Hejian County.

After passing through five streets, I finally came to the mansion of Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County.

When I came to the palace of the king of Hejian County, there was already a group of road-blocking ghosts (female dependents) outside the house, who were holding sticks and bamboo dusters in their hands and blocking the door, staring at them.

At this time, it was time for the best man Luo Tong and Fang Yiai to show their skills, they rushed forward, beat them with sticks and bamboo dusters, delivered red envelopes to them, and greeted Du He.

Fang Yiai's hands and feet were relatively clumsy, and he was hit several times, muttering: "Next time I get married, let the boss be a bridesmaid!" ”

Du He snorted, glanced at him on horseback, and smiled: "Only a fool will be a maid for you." ”

When I walked into the mansion, I met a few little ghosts who stood in the way, but they were all playing some small fights, either throwing pots or giving red envelopes, or guessing word puzzles, which was simple and easy.

Du He came to the atrium lobby all the way, and Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong, and a cadre of civil and military ministers were all waiting in the hall in auspicious clothes.

Du He finally met Li Xiaogong, a legendary figure, who was about forty years old, his hands and feet were thicker than ordinary people, his eyes were shining, his face was rough, and he was very imposing.

Li Xiaogong is the cousin and nephew of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, a veteran of a hundred battles, destroying Xiao Milling, Dingjiangnan, almost half of the southern Tang Dynasty was beaten down by him, when it comes to the military exploits of the Tang Dynasty to pacify the world, Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong are the first and second who cannot be beaten.

Li Xiaogong was the host conductor on the side, and whatever he said, Du He did it. Li Shimin sat high in the hall, wearing a new dragon robe, his face was full of red light, and his face was happy. When the etiquette was almost the same, Li Shimin spoke, and additionally canonized the position of Du He and Ma Duwei, and then said some unnutritious words like a father, why do I trust you to marry Changle to you, you have to be nice to Changle, the husband and wife must get along in harmony, respect and love each other, etc., and they will nagging for a while before they are willing to let him go.

At the same time, he gave him a look and said in a low voice: "Be careful, you will feel good for the next part of the road!" As he spoke, he showed a gloating look, looking like he was going to watch a good show.

Li Xiaogong saw that their son-in-law had a private chat, and continued to preside, and after half an hour, he finally completed all the etiquette. As if it were an amnesty, Du He hurriedly evacuated with his men and horses, and walked towards the back hall surrounded by the crowd.

The road to the backroom had been blocked by a group of women, and a beautiful woman in palace clothes was in the way.

Seeing that she was beautiful, Fang Yiai walked over first, wanting to take out a red envelope to pass away.

The woman in the palace costume didn't look at him, but looked at Du He with a smile in her eyes and said: "I am Yuzhang, Sister Changle treats us very well, we don't want Sister Changle to let my brother-in-law take it away easily." If you want to take your sister away, you have to pass our three levels. ”

Du He asked Fang Yiai to step back, stepped forward and said, "Listen up!" "It's no surprise that this kind of game was very common in ancient times when it came to welcoming brides.

Princess Yuzhang asked someone to bring a plate, which contained nine pearls, and said with a smile: "This is the pearl of nine songs, but it is broken." I wonder if my brother-in-law can connect them with just one piece of silk? ”

Fang Yiai shouted: "The silk is as soft as hair, and the inside of the pearl is crooked, how can it be done with the silk, isn't it difficult for a strong man?" ”

Du He shook his hand and said with a slight smile: "What's so difficult about this?" He stretched out his hand and took the Heavenly Silk and the Jiuqu Pearl, and wore them directly, but with the help of the tea, the Heavenly Silk and the Jiuqu Pearl were worn together.

"What do you think?" Du He made a necklace of nine pearls and hung it on Princess Yuzhang's body, and said with a slight smile: "I don't know if I have passed the test?" ”

Princess Yuzhang was stunned, her heart was like a deer, she didn't dare to speak anymore, and hurriedly retreated.

Fang Yiai was stunned and asked, "Boss, how did you do this?" ”

Du He smiled slightly, and said the word secret, it is indeed not easy to perforate with heavenly silk, but he is burdened with internal force, and the internal force is input into the heavenly silk, although it can't do the realm where all plants and trees can be soldiers in the novel, but it is enough to make it stiff, like a thin wire, and the perforation is naturally easy.

After walking a hundred steps, someone stood in front of him again, this time it was Princess Nanping.

Princess Nanping is Li Shimin's fourth daughter, and she is a little older.

Du He stepped forward and saluted with a smile: "My sister-in-law has seen the fourth sister. ”

Princess Nanping directly gave a roll of her eyes and said: "What sister-in-law is not a sister-in-law, but I can't say this level!" Sister Changle loves calligraphy and painting, and wants to be his husband, this painting skill must not be bad, I have a scroll here, as long as you can paint the scroll in a fixed time, this level is considered to be your pass. ”

With a wave of her hand, she spread out the scroll.

Du Hodden's eyes widened, "This ......"

The scroll was very large, not ordinarily large, as wide as he was alone, but fifteen meters long from covering the entire corridor.

Du He swallowed his saliva and asked in astonishment, "How much time?" ”

Princess Nanping smiled and brought the incense burner, and half an incense stick was inserted on the incense burner, looking at the speed of the incense burning, it was only half an hour at most.

How is it possible to paint such a dozen paintings in half an hour?

Don't say that Du He is not good at painting, even if he is the reincarnation of Tang Bohu in this short time of half a pillar of incense, he can't paint it!

Duhe was dumbfounded!

What exactly?

You can't go home, can you?

"What do you guys think?" Those who came with Du He were all the advisors he had brought with him, and they had specially given him ideas.

In the face of this huge picture, they were all dumbfounded.

Du He looked out of the hall, but saw a butterfly flying in front of him, but his heart moved.
