Chapter 157: An auspicious day for marriage
A month is a bit of a torment, but it's not a long time after all.
On the sixth day of the fifth month, the day after the Dragon Boat Festival, it is a good day for Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan to be happy.
The first five rites have been completed, and the six rites have been carried out to the last step of personal greeting.
According to ancient wedding customs, weddings are held at dusk, so Xie Yi set off at noon to go to Zheng's house to marry the bride.
The distance between Fengle Fang and Anye Fang is not very far, and it is convenient to come and go, Xie Yi rode a high-headed horse to greet his relatives.
Idlers and others in Chang'an City couldn't just gallop their horses casually, but today Li Shimin specially allowed Xie Yi to have this opportunity.
Zheng Liwan is a famous beauty in Chang'an, although she is an "old girl", she is famous; Xie Yi is also a young talent in the limelight, and this marriage has attracted a lot of attention.
Not far away, but it can be called the attention of everyone, Xie Yi rode in front of him, and took Zheng Liwan back to Huaiyang County Bofu with a gorgeous and colorful carriage.
Xie Yi's original meaning was that he wanted to use a sedan chair, but after asking in detail, he found out that this thing was not popular in these years. The sedan chair is basically a royal specialty, and the carriage is used to welcome relatives regardless of the shishu.
This exquisitely decorated carriage walked on the streets of Chang'an, and immediately attracted the attention of countless people, and ordinary people praised and sighed.
There are also many people who are envious, even jealous, and there are not a few people who are tempted by Zheng Liwan's stunning appearance, but unfortunately they all have a thief's heart but not a thief's courage.
In the past, no one dared to marry Zheng Liwan, but now Xie Yi has returned to the beauty, which makes many people feel envious, jealous and hateful.
Why don't you be brave? If you are bold, maybe you will be the one who will be the one who will be in the cave room tonight.
These boys didn't consider their own strength and character at all, and they forgot to be timid in the past; All self-righteous assumptions, or fantasies.
It seems that as long as you are bold, the beauty will be favored. The emperor will agree, and he will be able to do a good thing, completely forgetting the efforts and risks that Xie Yi has made.
So they will only look at it with their eyes and sigh with envy.
……
After welcoming in person, he returned to Bofu in Huaiyang County and held a wedding under the auspices of Wei Zheng.
A few guests such as Cheng Zhijie, Wei Chigong, and Princess Changle came to watch the ceremony, and the marriage ceremony between Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan was completed.
Zheng Liwan's request not to be his wife, which made people somewhat surprised and regretful. But it's also a good thing to finally be able to marry a good man.
The identity of the "flat wife" of the royal gift is not bad, it seems that the Xie family will not have a wife for the time being, and Xie Yi's personality will definitely not treat Zheng Liwan badly, and Princess Changle, who is her best friend, is sincerely happy.
Princess Changle knew that her father-in-law, Sun Wuji, had a part in helping to promote this matter, which could be regarded as a reward for her entry into the palace to dissuade the hereditary assassination of history. But speaking carefully, this was originally Xie Yi's idea.
This is the so-called cause and effect of Buddhism, an idea that Xie Yi casually used to have. To some extent, it contributed to his own marriage.
Fortunately, the father was also reasonable, and he no longer remained silent for the sake of the so-called "face", and finally agreed. Listening to the meaning of the father-in-law's eldest grandson Wuji, his father originally intended to give Zheng Liwan the identity of a wife.
However, it did not merit the imperial court. There is no reason to complain, and it is not good to promulgate the decree rashly, so as not to fall into the mouth of the unclear decree of the imperial court. However, Princess Changle knew that her father had such a "loving" attitude. Zheng Liwan's wife will have it sooner or later.
A wife is valued by her husband, and with Xie Yi's ability, it is not difficult to make some contributions. When the time comes, it will be reasonable and logical to push his wife.
After the wedding, there was a sumptuous wedding banquet, which was organized by Du Xijun.
After receiving Xie Yi's personal guidance, Du Xijun and the cooking skills of the cook at home were greatly improved, and exquisite stir-fried and steamed dishes were served on the table, so that the guests could feast their mouths.
Cheng Zhijie even praised repeatedly: "It's really delicious, I didn't expect that the Xie family would have delicious food in addition to fine wine...... It's a worthwhile trip today! ”
Wei Chigong wiped his grease mouth and said with a smile: "Lao Cheng, don't make a mistake, I came here today not for appetite, but to congratulate Xiaoyao and Mrs. Zheng on their marriage." ”
Seeing this, Cheng Zhijie said with a smile after despising each other and no one to say anyone's contempt: "That's natural, naturally I want to wish them a young couple to grow old together, and be beautiful and smooth, and the most important thing is to give birth to a noble son early......
"Yes, there was a fat doll earlier, and then we will drink the full moon wine......" Although the words of the two old princes were a little unashamed, they were also the most sincere blessings.
In this way, the wedding banquet is naturally enjoyed by the guests and hosts, perhaps attracted by the food, perhaps unwilling to spoil the beautiful scene, the wine is in front, and Cheng Zhijie did not drink much for the first time.
Seeing the sun setting and the lights on, he said goodbye and left with many guests.
It's getting late, it's time to rest, and it's even more critical for the newlywed couple, delaying the candles in the cave room, which is a great sin.
……
The guests left, and the newlywed Yan'er was sent to the Westinghouse, the main residence in the inner courtyard.
The east house is Du Xijun's residence, and Mrs. Cai Guo nominally lives in the east as the sister-in-law of the Xie family's second room, and her status is slightly precious.
In fact, after all, Du Xijun entered the door early, and it is reasonable to be a little forward. Zheng Liwan knew it all in her heart, so she didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction and accepted it happily.
The Westinghouse has been cleaned and brightened, and it is very festive, especially the pair of high-burning red candles.
There is no hot kang here, and Xie Yi doesn't like low couches, so he specially ordered the craftsman to make a bed and a new wedding bed.
The furnishings everywhere are extremely elaborate and well-arranged, which is obviously taken care of by Du Xijun. For the marriage of Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan, she didn't bother to think about the subtleties.
On the day of the wedding, the night has come, and it is obvious what to do next, and everyone knows it.
Xie Yi is looking forward to it, and Zheng Liwan is slightly shy and slightly "embarrassed", but when it comes to embarrassment, the more nervous person seems to be the maid Abi.
Send her own lady, the future lady into the room, and the groom also comes in, then she should ......
As the personal maid of his own lady, he came to marry, according to the later generations, he was a girl in the room, and he should be left to wait for Ah Lang and his wife, including what it seems that he should also stay near Zuo.
However......
This first time, Abi was a yellow flower maid, she had never seen anything, and when she thought of those hearsay, she couldn't help blushing a little, a little ashamed, and didn't know how to deal with herself.
"Abi, it's been a tiring day, you go and rest!" Seeing this, Xie Yi was very reasonable.
"Okay, thank you Ah Lang." Abi was granted amnesty, but as soon as she went out, she couldn't help but move in her heart, she left like this, is it really good to be so derelict in her duties?
But......
Just when she wanted to turn around and go back to continue waiting, Xie Yi had already closed the door of the new house and turned her away...... (To be continued......)
