Chapter 505: Another Big Wedding

Looking at her silent father, Song Yulin's heart swelled with pity, her father, everything else is fine, but he is not decisive enough, but sometimes hesitation will ruin the big thing. k update

Sighing faintly, Song Xinghe said softly: "Lin'er, do you know the scene when my father first saw that Pang Gang? ”

After that, without waiting for Song Yulin to answer, Song Xinghe said again: "At that time, my father was still the commander of Qingzhou, and he was in charge of several large and small guards in Qingzhou. But this Pang Gang, from the beginning of his father, he didn't see him through, he first saw his father when he was just a down-and-out poor military household, it stands to reason that seeing his father should be honest and fearful, but his father saw a trace of something different from others in his eyes, this kind of thing is not said what it is for the father, but the father has affirmed in his heart that this son will have a great future in the future, and it happened to meet Wei in the same year that the old man pleaded with his father, so he also pushed the boat to give him a hundred households, Unexpectedly, since then, this son has been out of control, and within a few years, he has jumped to thousands of households, and even squeezed his father's commander to Hangzhou, and finally you know. ”

Song Yulin said angrily and funny: "Dad, what do you want to tell your daughter when you talk nonsense." ”

Song Xinghe's nose sucked, and then Hao Ran said: "Daughter, you said that if your father goes to Dahua, will Pang Gang properly settle our family for the sake of the old acquaintance?" ”

"You...... Song Yulin's Qianqianyu hand couldn't help but make an orchid finger move, pointing at Song Xinghe and smiling bitterly, "Daddy, you are really an official fan!" ”

Song Yulin is well aware of her father's shortcomings, but she also understands that it is not a bad thing for a man to be obsessed with his career, at least in the eyes of women in this era, a man who is an official is not enthusiastic about his career, then it is useless.

"Okay!" Song Yulin had no choice but to say helplessly: "Father." Although my daughter is not sure how Pang Gang will settle our family after arriving in the capital, my daughter and the Queen of the West Palace are friends with handkerchiefs, and for the sake of her daughter's face, she must not watch her father be wronged. ”

Song Xinghe groaned for a while, and said with a hint of ridicule and regret: "It's a pity, when the ambiguous feelings between the daughter of the Wei family and that Pang Gang were revealed, my father secretly laughed at how she fell in love with such a martial artist, but until now I didn't know that the emotional family was prescient." If it was the daughter of my Song family who fell in love with that Pang Gang, it would have been great, our family would be directly relatives of the emperor. ”

After speaking, Song Xinghe laughed, but Song Yulin's pink face on the side was ashamed like a big red cloth.

After joking with his daughter for a while, Song Xinghe said with a straight face: "Okay, daughter, let's talk about business next." For my father, I asked you, although you and the current Xigong Niangniang are friends in the boudoir, they are now far away in the capital. How can we contact her in Hangzhou, and even if she agrees to help, this far water can't solve the fire? Could it be that you have another way? ”

Song Yulin chuckled: "I really can't hide anything from my father." Well, daughter to be honest. In fact, the daughter has always been in contact with Sister Manyao, last time Sister Manyao entrusted someone to give her daughter a token, with this token daughter can ask those salt ships that come to Hangzhou to sell refined salt to do something, although the daughter does not know what this token can do, but it must not be a problem to send us to the capital. ”

"Oh, I see."

Song Xinghe's mood suddenly brightened up this time, since his daughter has a way in Dahua, why should he accompany Zuo Liangyu and them to death in Hangzhou. Now the only thing to do is to grease the soles of your feet, and it is only right to hurry away. …,

In this way, Song Xinghe cheered up and began to discuss the time and route of the retreat with his daughter

Three days later, Song Xing and his family quietly came to the Hangzhou wharf at night with more than a dozen henchmen and boarded a sea boat that trafficked refined salt. Left Hangzhou under the cover of night. Zuo Liangyu's father and son were shocked when the news broke, and it is said that since then, the number of troops on guard at the Hangzhou docks has tripled.

It's just that all this has nothing to do with Song Xinghe's family, seven days later. Song Xing and his family have set foot on the land of the capital, and after Song Xing and his family came to the capital, through the relationship between Song Yulin and Wei Manyao, Pang Gang also met with Song Xing and gave him a position as an envoy in Shanxi. Soon after, Song Xinghe happily took his family to work.

The time soon came to the third day of October, and this day was also the day of the wedding of Pang Gang and Princess Zhu Yujiao of Kunxing.

On this day, the entire Forbidden City was full of lights, countless eunuchs and palace maids were busy, and all the officials who came to congratulate gathered at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, chanting praises in unison.

Here, the busiest are the officials of the Ministry of Rites, who have drawn up etiquette procedures and norms, and have been busy with a large group of eunuchs and palace maids to set up the ceremony venue. According to the "Chang Yi", the honor guard is set up outside the Qianqing Gate, and the women are happy to be on the Dan Majesty of the Qianqing Palace. In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, two tables are set up temporarily, spread with apricot yellow satin tablecloths, one table is placed on the "section", and the other table is placed on the "ask the name" edict. The gifts that are ready to be sent to the in-laws are also displayed in broad daylight.

It stands to reason that such a grand wedding has to be an honor that the queen can enjoy, but today's wedding is a little special, the woman who married the former emperor Lao Tzu, and the current emperor, although people have already Zen position, but this face still has to be given. Although the etiquette when the queen enters the door cannot be copied, the biggest characteristic of people who are the spirits of all things is that they can be flexible, and the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette are very proficient in this thing, so they have slightly reduced the etiquette and bride price that can only be enjoyed by the queen, which is considered to be fooled.

Since this is the first time Pang Gang has married a daughter-in-law after ascending the throne, it may be the last time in his life. Don't look at the officials of the Ministry of Rites, in fact, they are also in accordance with the relevant provisions of the classics and documents, "crossing the river by feeling the stones", and learning in practice. The officials of other central organs who came to watch the ceremony felt fresh, patronized and watched the excitement, and forgot to observe discipline. The officials of Honglu Temple (the head of the protocol) easily seized the opportunity to show their faces and pointed out the order of the viewing procession. provoked a lot of "idiot" officials, and they looked sideways.

It wasn't until the officials of Qin Tianjian said that "the auspicious time has come", Pang Gang, surrounded by the ministers, guards, and eunuchs, made a grand appearance, and entered the main hall of the Qianqing Palace in the sound of music, and ascended to the throne. The princes and ministers bowed to the ground and shouted long live. The Xuanzhi official took the edict and stood on the east side of the Dan Majesty. Loudly proclaim the edict, appoint the main and deputy angels, go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and ask for names. In the sound of music, two angels are feasting and edicting. Licheng, the emperor retreated.

Pang Gang slowly walked into the east set up in the backyard of the Qianqing Palace, and what greeted his eyes was the red of a water. Of course, the emperor's cave house is much more upscale and luxurious than ordinary people's homes, but it is not exempt from the custom of sticking red double happiness and festive couplets. The theme of the cave house is also bright red. It forms a red light and a joyful atmosphere.

Pang Gang finally walked into his cave room tonight, only to see the gold and jade treasures in the cave room. Splendid. The east side is against the north wall for the emperor's throne, and there is a jade ruyi handle symbolizing "auspicious Ruyi" on the right hand. The front eaves are connected to a big kang, the two sides of the kang are red sandalwood carved dragons and phoenixes, there are porcelain bottles, treasures and other furnishings on the kang table, and a pair of double happiness table lamps are displayed on the left side of the kang front. The northwest corner of the East Warm Pavilion is placed in the dragon and phoenix happy bed, the happy bed is covered with a thick and solid red satin dragon and phoenix double happiness word big kang mattress, the bedding has bright yellow satin and vermilion color satin of the happy quilt, happy pillow, its pattern is beautiful, the embroidery is fine. Rich and rich. There is a festive couplet hanging on the wall of the bed, in the center is a picture of a peony flower, and against the wall is a pair of treasure Ruyi cabinets. …,

There is a big happy bed in the south, and there will be a "hundred child tent" in front of the bed, and a "hundred child quilt" will be placed on the bed. It is embroidered with a hundred children's tents and quilts with different looks, and the bed curtain with red satin embroidered dragon and phoenix double happiness is hung at the head of the bed, which shows that the emperor's family also hopes to "have more children and more blessings".

A beautiful woman wore a red hijab and was gorgeous. A pair of white and delicate hands, Ying Ying held half of the red silk, and a pair of lotus feet that seemed to be held in one hand shook gently in front of the window, as if it could be seen that it was a lotus step by step on weekdays, and the appearance of the demeanor was moving.

Before Pang Gang entered the cave room, there were only the bride and two palace maids holding silver plates in the new room, and the three of them were silent, the room was quiet, and Pang Gang also stood quietly in front of the bride and looked carefully for a while. Only then did he pick up a jade Ruyi from the silver plate held by the palace maid, and gently picked up the bride's headscarf, revealing a pretty face that was as happy as a flower and jade.

Although Pang Gang has not seen Princess Zhu Yujiao of Kunxing, today's Zhu Yujiao seems to glow with an amazing beauty. After her headscarf was removed, under the reflection of the dragon and phoenix red candles next to her, her complexion was as crystal clear as jade, like a new moon halo, like flowers and trees piling up snow, and she was glamorous, quiet and leisurely, tender and graceful, charming in language, delicate and tactful, beautiful and incomprehensible, and it was really better than the fairy who walked down in the painting.

Seeing Pang Gang take off the bride's hijab, the two palace maids said a blessing to Pang Gang: "Congratulations to Your Majesty and Niangniang on tying the knot, and I wish Your Majesty and Niangniang will always be married and give birth to a noble son soon!" ”

When Pang Gang heard it, he had to say that even his voice was so neat, he must have rehearsed for a lot of time in advance, for the sake of other people's hard work, this happy money can't be less.

nodded, took out two small gold ingots from his arms, handed them to them, and said, "Okay, you guys go out"

"Thank the emperor for the reward!" The two palace maids happily took the ingots, and went out with a thousand thanks, and did not forget to close the door when they went out.

After the palace maid went out, Pang Gang looked at Zhu Yujiao, who was hanging her head and was silent, at this time she looked graceful and curvy, it was easy to make people move their fingers, according to folk customs and previous habits, Pang Gang should have rushed over and rolled the sheets with his daughter-in-law at this time.

But not now, if the emperor Laozi's wedding is the same as the common people, wouldn't it be too cheap, at least a full set of activities must be completed before they can spend it together.

Pang Gang smiled and took Zhu Yujiao's jade hand, Zhu Yujiao stood up shyly, and the two came to the west window of the new landlord's room, where a round table was placed, and on the table were placed beans, baskets, baskets, and figurines that symbolized the banquet of husband and wife, which meant the same meaning as the folk "eat a pot of rice in the future".

At this time, Zhu Yujiao said to Pang Gang shyly: "Your Majesty, we should do the "joint ceremony". ”

The so-called "Heyu Ceremony" is the so-called "drinking a glass of wine" among the people. It is "scoop". "Together", the original meaning is to combine the cut gourd into one, and it was used to hold wine in ancient times. Mix the wine in the respective gourds of the emperor and queen together, and drink together, that is, "together"

In the earlier days, a gourd was cut into two scoops, and the bride and groom each held one and drank a glass of wine, which means "two into one".

But then there was another story. That is to press the gourd up and scoop. This thing seemed to be unlucky, so people later drank more glasses of wine

Zhu Yujiao raised the "Qingyu Cup" and handed it to Pang Gang, the so-called "Qingyu Cup" is two conjoined cylinder cups, about 75 centimeters high, with embossed carvings, hollow dragons and phoenixes on the outside, as well as two poems, as for what kind of poem. Ahem, you know.

Pang Gang and Zhu Yujiao sat opposite each other in the new house. Zhu Yujiao poured a glass of wine and handed it to Pang Gang; Pang Gang took a sip and handed it to Zhu Yujiao, who drank it all. Pang Gang poured a glass of wine and handed it to Zhu Yujiao, Zhu Yujiao took a sip and gave it back to Pang Gang, and Pang Gang drank it dry. …,

finally completed the formalities, but Pang Gang, the groom official, was a little anxious. He put down the cup and said to Zhu Yujiao a little anxiously: "Concubine Ai, shouldn't we have a grand gift?" ”

Zhu Yujiao hung her head shyly. There was an inaudible "um" in his mouth, if it weren't for the silence around him, Pang Gang might not have heard it.

Pang Gang, who was overjoyed, grabbed Zhu Yujiao's little hand and walked towards the happy bed, and soon there was a slight tremor and bursts of coquettish moans in the new room...... Just when Pang Gang was in the cave room, there were also flowing water seats in front of the Qianqing Palace for the hundreds of officials who came to congratulate them, according to statistics. This Pang Gang's wedding cost a total of 500,000 taels of silver, which sounds like a lot, but it is quite frugal compared with the cost of the previous emperor's wedding.

Originally, this expense could go through the household department, but Pang Gang insisted on disagreeing and wanted to pay the money from his own small treasury. At the same time, he also made a rule, that is, in the future, whenever the children and grandchildren of the Pang family get married, they will only use their own silver, which is also to prevent the children and grandchildren of the Pang family from separating public and private in the future.

One by one. Many civil and military officials of the Dahua Dynasty had smiles on their faces, and they toasted to their colleagues with lovely smiles, striving to get to know more officials and expand their contacts.

At a round table in a remote corner, there were more than a dozen generals dressed in various military costumes, who were Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou from Liaodong.

Looking at the bustling flow of people in front of the Qianqing Palace, although Wu Xiang and the others were drinking, they didn't seem to be very happy when they looked at them.

Wu Sangui took a sip of wine, very depressed looking at the people around him who were laughing and laughing, this time he came to the capital, although Pang Gang was very generous and said that he would not carry out a big blood exchange for Liaodong, and also said that the military salary for Liaodong would be supplied on time.

But after Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou moved Pang Gang's imperial study out, they came back to their senses, this time they estimated that they were going to suffer a dumb loss, and the more they thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the Dahua offensive against the Manchu Qing was a blessing and a curse for the generals of Liaodong.

Even Wu Sangui thought that if he lost the attack on Liaodong, it would greatly damage the strength of Liaodong, and if the Manchu Qing Dynasty was defeated, would it be necessary for Liaodong to garrison so many troops? At that time, will the imperial court take the opportunity to shrink the forces of Liaodong?

All of this made Wu Xiang and them dizzy, during this time in the capital, they also continued to visit various yamen, and also kept asking Pang Gang who was going to supervise the candidates of Liaodong, but more than a month passed, and they found nothing.

Because of the beginning of the new dynasty, almost all the officials in the yamen came to a big change, and the previous relationships were all gone, which also caused their news to be blocked.

Zu Dashou watched the groups of strange officials around him constantly persuade each other to drink, a sense of boredom surged from his heart, he grabbed the wine jug, lifted the lid, and poured it into his mouth.

A pungent liquid poured into his throat.

"Uncle, you can't drink like this."

Seeing this, Wu Sangui hurriedly stopped Zu Dashou, but was pushed away by Zu Dashou, Zu Dashou slapped his tongue and said: "Shuanghuan, don't stop me, today is the day of the emperor's wedding, you let your uncle have a good drink." ”

"Uncle, you ...... Seeing Zu Dashou's appearance, Wu Sangui knew that Zu Dashou's bull temper had attacked, and secretly shook his head and stopped talking.

"Hehe, General Zu is really a good drinker, worthy of being a brave general who shocked Liaodong in the past!"

At this time, a clear voice sounded in everyone's ears, and when everyone turned around, they saw a man holding a wine jug in his left hand and a wine glass in his right hand looking at them with a smile.

This man is about thirty years old, his face is as white as jade, rich and handsome, just from the appearance, he looks like a beautiful son more like a court official, if it weren't for the official uniform on his body with a brocade chicken pattern, they wouldn't believe that this man with the appearance of a son's brother is actually a second-class officer.

Looking at this uninvited official, Wu Sangui asked suspiciously, "I don't know who this adult is...... The person who came smiled lightly, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, "The official's surname is Li Mingyan, and he was wrongly loved by the emperor, and he was temporarily added as the secretary of the Dahua Military Department......
