When Xia Mu returned home, Ah San's illness had been cured today, but tomorrow she got married, and the old lady in the house retreated back, and the manpower was insufficient.

Ah Sang and Luo Kedi are both busy in the study, banquets, decals and other big red happy things, and everyone is not idle.

In this era, marrying a royal wife is very complicated, and Xia Mu has learned a little, mainly divided into several major processes. From the dawn of the day, it is necessary to open the house to worship the ancestors, hang the big red, enter the banquet, and when the auspicious time comes, you will go to marry, and then thank the emperor, sing and dance appreciation, open a banquet, etc.

When Xia Mu walked into the study, it was getting late, and he saw Ah Sang wearing a high bun and beautiful eyebrows, like a painting.

When Ah Sang saw Xia Mu, he just smiled: "Tomorrow is a day of great joy, and the girls want to ask for good luck." ”

Xia Mu sat down next to Ah Sang, and when he saw the big red flowers on the table that had been cut, he sighed alone: "Seventeen years ago, my Xia Mansion was defeated, who would have thought that a child who was only five years old could have such glory today?" ”

Ah Sang saw Xia Mu talking about sad things again, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red: "Master said these things on the big day, so that people will be sad." ”

The lights of the Xia Mansion were bright overnight, and it was not until the fifth watch that the old lanterns were removed and replaced with red lanterns.

The next day, the rooster crowed, and Xia Mu had already asked the girl to wait for the bath and change clothes, and she wore plain clothes and went to the ancestral hall set up in the house.

The huge ancestral hall is dedicated to the ancestors of the Xia family, and Xia Yan's ranking is prominent.

The old housekeeper took three coarse incense sticks and handed them to Xia Mu, and the Buddhist monks invited behind him were opening the square to break the prison, passing the lamp to illuminate the dead, participating in Yan Jun, detaining the ghosts, inviting the king of Jizo, opening the golden bridge, and leading the banners.

Behind a group of Taoist masters followed Zhang Shenbiao, Chao Sanqing, knocked on the Jade Emperor, Zen monks incense, set off flames, worshiped water confession, and there were thirteen nuns, with embroidered clothes, red shoes, chanting in front of the spirit to receive the mantras, very lively.

Xia Mu knelt in front of the ancestral ranking, kowtowed respectfully three times, and then handed the incense to the old housekeeper on the side, and the old housekeeper respectfully inserted the incense on the incense burner.

When the monks finished reciting the scriptures, the little maids hurriedly splashed with water sprinkled with flower petals, and a group of old mothers behind took brooms to clean the dust, and there was a girl holding a brazier, let Xia Mu go over, remove the anger on his body, and then a group of girls were introduced into the dressing room to wait, and the steward of the palace came to send the relatives to use the big red rooster tonic suit.

That Ah Sang must know that there are a lot of people today, yesterday the room for a night's rest, to Yinzheng, the little girl Ping'er please get up to freshen up, and clean up, change clothes, eat two mouthfuls of ** sugar japonica rice porridge, gargle has been completed, it is already two moments.

An old lady in the house led everyone to serve for a long time, Ah Sang went out to the front of the hall, got into the car, played a pair of bright angle lights in front, and wrote five big characters of "Governor Rong Government", and the money came to the front house.

The door door is hung brightly, and the lights on both sides are poked in one color, shining like day, and the red and happy servants stand on both sides. Please go to the main gate, the little girl will retreat, and the girls will come up and lift the curtain. Ah Sang got out of the car, holding the red silk in one hand, and the two old mothers held the lampshade in their hands and came in in a cluster.

The girls of Xiafu ushered in the reception, and Ah Sang slowly walked into Xia Mu's study in Huifang Garden and asked for peace.

This morning, Sijiu City was even more joyful.

In the morning, major officials came to report the good news, including Lu An, the grandson of Lu Bing of the Jiajing Dynasty in the past, Zhu Fang, the son of Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, the son of Zhu Xizhong, the son of Zhu Xizhong, the grandson of Xu Guogong, the hereditary general of Sanpinwei Town, Xu Ruiwen, the hereditary general of Sanpinweiyuan, Ma Shang, the hereditary Sanpinweiyuan general, Yuan Shaoqing, the son of Yuan Wei, the former scholar of the Hanlin Academy, Li Mo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, Yan Shifan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, came on behalf of his father, Jinyi Wei should be a large and small official, Zhang Juzheng, Wang Shizhen, etc., edited by Hanlin.

The rest of the people in Nanjing heard the news, and there were more grandsons of the king of Nan'an County, the grandson of the king of Xijun, the grandson of the Marquis of Zhongjing, the grandson of the Marquis of Pingyuan, the hereditary second-class male, and the grandson of the Marquis of Dingcheng. These are all the adults in the house who have died, but the hereditary ancestor Meng Yin is just an empty shelf.

The old housekeeper of the concierge stood at the door of the house to receive the gift, and the guests also had more than 30 large sedan chairs, three or four hundred small sedan chairs, and even the large and small sedan cars under the house, no less than 1,000 more than ten times.

In front of all kinds of deacons, furnishings, playing, mighty, three or four miles away, not long away, roadside color shed high, set up a banquet, and music music, all are the families come to congratulate:

The first is Dongping Yuwang Zhu Zaiyuan Mansion Daohe color shed;

The second is the Nan'an Jingwang Zhu Zaizhen Mansion color shed,

The third is Yongping Yingwang Zhu Zai Dao He Cai Shed,

The fourth is the Xining Qi King Zhu Zaishun Mansion Daohe color shed.

These four kings, only King Yu and King Jing are the king's grandson is still the king, now King Jing is only over twenty-five, born to describe beautiful, temperamental modesty, recently heard that the governor of Jingying Rongzheng wedding, specially came to congratulate.

On the same day, the capital and all parts of the country are given a happy edict, everyone must wear red and green, and every family should put up lanterns to show that all the people celebrate together.

It is a huge city of Beijing, and it is dressed up in flowers. The stewards and eunuchs in the newly established 13 yamen received some servants to distribute wedding cakes to civilian residential areas, and people crowded and shouted, some cried and some laughed, squeezing many people, and the lively and noisy sounds added a lot of color to the joyful atmosphere.

It is also this day, it is a royal celebration, and the imperial city is another heavenly style: the royal roads in the palace are covered with thick red felt carpets; The door god and the couplet have a new look.

Within the noon gate, the palace gate and the palace gate hang the big red lantern high, and the Taihe gate, the Taihe Palace, the Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace also hang the double happiness word color silk.

I saw that from the outside of the Taihe Hall to the front of **, there was the emperor's law driving book:

Colorful flags, fans, scattered flags, golden knives, axes, axes, halberds, hundreds and thousands, standing in a straight formation, dazzling; The big chariot, the jade chariot, the big chariot, and the small pony chariot are directly discharged from the noon gate, and the elephant and the royal horse driving the chariot stand solemnly on the side.

At noon, there were two columns on the left and right outside the gate, but there were four huge road-opening elephants and four treasure elephants carrying golden inlaid jade vases, their huge bodies and fierce appearances were enough to frighten people who entered the palace for the first time.

Zhonghe Shaole is located on the east and west sides under the front porch of the Taihe Palace, and the Dan Majesty Dale is located under the inner porch of the Taihe Gate, echoing with the cymbal song and drumming displayed in the south of the treasure elephant of the noon gate.

Once the ceremony begins, three big bands will spread their joyful joy all over the city and throughout the Forbidden City.

Outside the Cining Palace, the imperial concubine's ceremonial ride is displayed, and hundreds of people are silent and neat.

The lords of the palace and the concubines are all gathered in the main hall of Cining Palace, lined up on the left and right, waiting for the bell of the ceremony.

The imperial concubine sat high on the throne, looking more solemn and noble because she wore a full gown, and on the crown of triple stones, the precious pearl surrounded a large ruby.

Nine golden phoenix rings with pearls on the head are gathered around the crown, and five strings of pearls hang from each of the golden phoenixes' mouths, the front one hanging to the forehead, and the side and back hanging to the shoulders under the ears.

Outside the dark purple robe with horseshoe sleeves, it is covered with a stone blue embroidered dragon gown and shawl, with the pattern of mountains, seas, sun, moon, dragon and phoenix, showing supreme dignity.

Not long after, there was a sound of "Weng", and the bell rang at the noon gate.

Immediately after that, a group of pipe flutes played melodious, and the guide band played elegant music, and under the guidance of the imperial staff, the Sect of Chulong slowly came.

Later, Lang Gong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, led Emperor Jiajing, who was dressed in Taoist robes, to Cining Palace to pay a big salute to the imperial concubine. With a command, the imperial concubine's halogen book was raised high to welcome Emperor Jiajing.

The band and the officials of the ceremonial department stayed outside the Cining Gate to wait, kneeling to welcome Emperor Jiajing into the Cining Palace.

Concubines, concubines, nobles, Chang Zai, promise and eunuchs knelt down to greet them, and Concubine Yun and Concubine Kang stood on the left and right of the throne, worshipping the emperor with the concubines.

According to the big gift, Xia Muying went to the palace to marry Princess An Ning in person, and Xu Xiyi should be carried into the mansion by the people of the Xu Mansion from Xia Muhou's Mansion, because Xu Xiyi is a partial wife, not a wife, and according to the etiquette, she cannot be carried in from the main mansion like the princess.

But Xia Mu was afraid that he had wronged Xu Xiyi, so he insisted that the sedan chair of Xu's mansion go from the main entrance, and Xu Jie allowed it when he saw this, and didn't say much.

Not long after, Xia Mu, who was wearing a four-grade red rooster tonic reckless suit, walked out of the courtyard with golden boots, and all the princes, ministers, and county kings in the courtyard got up to congratulate.

Xia Mu accompanied the smiling face, and when he saw that Yan Shifan was also there, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised in his heart.

That Yan Shifan laughed, attracting everyone's sideways, only to see him with a big belly, quite affectionately stepped forward to take Xia Mu's hand, and shouted one nephew after another, if it weren't for outsiders knowing that the Xia family and the Yan family were feuding, they really thought that the two were close uncles and nephews!

Xia Mu didn't want to mention the diaphragm in his heart, but he could only endure it.

At this moment, a merry boy in the distance walked over, showing his reckless style, giving birth to a pair of Danfeng eyes, with fine eyes, but it was Zhu Zaizhen, the king of Jing, who relied on the capital and did not leave.

Zhu Zaizhen, the king of the scene, saw Xia Mu for the first time, accompanied by a smiling face: "Lord Xia is the man of the year in Sijiu City, and the night before yesterday was the three major artillery bombardments that killed a boatload of Japanese slaves, which provoked the ministers and workers of Sijiu City who are not afraid of Xia Rongzheng's artillery. ”

Saying that, people will bring up the gifts, but it is a golden sailing ship that is paid tribute by Italy, with thirteen night pearls in the East China Sea, three white fox fur jackets, two pairs of jade Ruyi, and more than 20 colorful silk horses.

Xia Mu hurriedly thanked: "The prince carries love!" ”

The rest of the people also sent their congratulatory gifts, all of them were rare treasures, and some of them were even more inaccessible to Xia Mu.

It's just that when I arrived at Zhang Juzheng, there were only two bags of fine tea.

Suddenly, some ministers who couldn't look at it ridiculed on the side: "Poor and sour, Xia Rongzheng will send this broken thing to his wedding, a huge governor Rong government, and there is still a shortage of these two bags of tea!" ”

Zhang Juzheng's face turned red suddenly, and he was about to take it back.

But Xia Mu took the first step and laughed: "I see, all these gifts add up, they are not as good as these two packs of Biluo spring tea and my mind, you and I are the same door, the courtesy is light and affectionate, a small tea, a leaf of gold!" ”

Seeing this, those officials' faces changed, and they hurriedly changed their tone: "Hehe, Xia Rongzheng and Zhang Taiyue are in the same house, this gift is elegant, not like us ordinary people, falling in the Golden Cave!" ”

Zhang Juzheng knew that it was Xia Mu who gave him face, so he nodded to Xia Mu gratefully.

At this time, Yuwang Zhu Zaiyuan came over with a middle-aged man in his forties, and the middle-aged man was burly, but he looked a little dull.

Xia Mu and King Yu met in Sulou, recognized him, and when he saw King Yu coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and laughed: "The prince has tormented the minister, where is the prince's wedding!" ”

King Yu smiled, Daddy doesn't love it, they all have to look at the face of the minister, and this Xia Mu is a celebrity in front of the emperor, who doesn't stammer.

Thinking that King Yu hurriedly introduced his lecturer Gao for Xia Mu.
