Chapter 113: The Great Wedding (Part II)
"See Your Majesty, see the Empress, see the Prince, the auspicious time has come to invite the Prince to greet you." Liu Hongqing came in to pray.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at the queen and then at Zhao Xu, at this time, He stood up and walked in front of Zhao Xu, straightened his collar and let him out.
The officials outside had already been waiting outside, and when Zhao Xu came out and saluted him, Zhao Xu also changed his salute:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have worked hard today, regardless of monarchs and ministers, you are all my elders, my friends, and today are the people who accompany me to greet my relatives, everyone let's go."
Tao Gu ran to Zhao Xu at this time, he was a matchmaker and a companion, and reminded Zhao Xu not to forget any etiquette.
Zhao Xu walked out of the East Palace, and suddenly saw a five or six-year-old child standing there, still carrying a chicken coop, and immediately ran over when he saw Zhao Xu coming out:
"Congratulations brother, congratulations brother." The voice is very immature and sweet.
But Zhao Xu was stunned, he really didn't know this child, why did he come over, at this time, his father's brother Shi Shouxin came over and saluted Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu hurriedly returned the salute and called Uncle Shi.
"Prince, he is my youngest son, his name is Shi Baoqing, and today he is your chicken hugger." The chicken hugger is to find a little boy to hold a rooster when they get married in some places to ask for a good omen.
Zhao Xu saw that he was carrying a chicken coop, and there was a big red rooster with red color tied to his feet, and he really looked like a chicken hugger.
Moreover, he is still the son of Shi Shouxin, and Shi Shouxin is now almost the first military general in the court. So Zhao Xu stepped forward and touched Shi Baoqingfan's little head and said with a smile:
"Then brother, thank Xiaoqing for your help."
Shi Baoqing said in a milky voice:
"Daddy said that if you help my brother, there will be candy." After saying the word, everyone laughed, which was also in line with this festive atmosphere.
Talking and laughing, everyone walked out and began to welcome the bride, and as soon as Zhao Xu came out, the musicians next to him began to blow hard. Zhao Xu rode a tall horse and slowly drove to the Gao family.
The Gao family is also jubilant now, but in Gao Huaide's room, Gao Guiying has tears on her face, don't look at his usual big grin, but at this time she can't help but shed tears.
"Okay, Gui Ying, today is your big day, go and prepare, your mother is also very happy to see you today." Gao Huaide's eyes are also a little moist, his wife died early, and he pulled his daughter, and now that his daughter is married, his mood is inexplicably complicated.
Soon Xiao Gaoqiong jumped up and ran over, he also wore a new clothes that fit today, he looks very handsome, and he will definitely be popular with thousands of girls when he grows up.
"Daddy, there are a lot of people outside my sister, that brother came on a big horse, and there are a lot of people."
Gao Huaide and Gao Guiying also knew who the little guy's brother was. So Gao Huaide immediately called the people in the house to let Gao Guiying dress up, and he took Xiao Gao Qiong to the gate.
By the time Gao Huaide went outside, it was already very lively, and his younger brother Gao Huailiang was welcoming guests there. Zhao Xu saw Gao Huaide come out and hit the ground one by one. This is tantamount to kowtowing.
Zhao Xu shouted Uncle Gao in his mouth, but Shi Shouxin and others next to him quipped:
"It's still called Uncle Gao, I should change my name to my father-in-law hahaha." However, the jokes are funny, and the stone is trustworthy, and they still say hello to Gao Huaide.
After everyone finished the ceremony, they welcomed a kind of ministers to the living room to sit down, and Zhao Xu couldn't go in, so he still had to go to greet the bride?
But this is also the saddest level, this mother's family may think of the law to trick themselves, but they are not afraid of anything.
Sure enough, a servant led him to Gao Huaiying's boudoir, and there were already a lot of big girls and little daughters-in-law at the door.
At this time, someone shouted, "The prince is here, you all get out of the way." ”
However, some people shouted: "There is no prince today, only the bride and groom, don't think about it if you don't come up with the wedding money." ”
Zhao Xu smiled, and there was no displeasure, this is a custom, and it is also a festive picture, fortunately, he has already prepared to take out a lot of red envelopes.
Some of them are copper plates, and some of them are broken silver, which is not very auspicious, and everyone will not care, at this time, Zhao Xu is still wondering if he will be scolded if there is less packaging in the future.
The people in front of the door got the red envelopes and let go one after another, and the door also opened at this time, but what Zhao Xu saw was not Gao Guiying, but several girls, all of whom seemed to be Gao Guiying's close friends.
"You are Sister Guiying's husband, I heard that you are the prince, but today you are Sister Guiying's husband, if you don't satisfy us, don't want to let Sister Guiying get on the sedan chair."
A girl who doesn't look very old looks like she has a bit of rough potential, but Zhao Xu estimates that she is also the eldest lady of which family, and she doesn't dare to offend these eldest ladies at this moment.
So Zhao Xu's posture was very low, and there was no shelf at all:
"Then it's up to my sister."
When the girl heard that Zhao Xu agreed, her face was full of excitement, but she really didn't prepare for any problems, so she turned around and muttered a few times with a few sisters, and then turned around:
"I heard that you are excellent in martial arts, so we won't open you, so you can make a poem, but not just make a poem, but to be able to show the beauty and moving of Sister Gui Ying, how about the future brother-in-law This is not difficult, right?"
After saying that, this little girl also showed a little fox-like smile, they heard that the prince was brave and crowned the three armies, but they didn't hear how his writing was, so they gave him such a song.
Zhao Xu also smiled slightly, he understood in his heart what they thought, but he really didn't have a poetic talent, but there were a lot of poems in his head, and the accumulation of thousands of years in China was so likely to be stumped by this small poem.
But he can't steal the previous Song Dynasty, those poems are too famous, but there are also later, just fool around, and soon he slowly chanted a poem:
The beautiful woman got out of the orchid room and folded it to put on red makeup in the mirror.
Ask Lang Hua how good is his slave face? Lang Dao is not as good as a flower.
The beautiful woman was coquettish when she heard the words, and she didn't believe that the dead flowers were better than the living.
Before crushing the flowers and throwing them: Please sleep with the flowers today!
Although those little girls didn't understand very well, they saw that Zhao Xu made a poem so quickly, which showed that their writing and thinking were agile, and they didn't understand what it meant, but they still obediently let go.
When Zhao Xu and Gao Guiying were in the room, Zhao Xu saw Gao Guiying clearly at this time, and the phoenix crown looked more dazzling on his body, and he looked more gorgeous and moving than usual.
At this time, someone was holding the red hijab that Zhao Xu and they brought, but it couldn't be covered for him at this time, Gao Guiying still needed to say goodbye to her father, and then she could put on the red hijab and sit in the sedan chair.
When Gao Guiying knelt to say goodbye to his father, Gao Huaide's tears still couldn't stop flowing, Tao Gu hurriedly persuaded him, now is not the time to cry, now is the happiest time.
Then Gao Guiying was helped on the sedan chair, and Zhao Xu said goodbye to Gao Huaide, this time he really kowtowed, and Gao Huaide also accepted this salute.
Zhao Xu rode a horse in front, constantly saluting the people around him, and the drummers in the back also played where to play. Of course, there are also some knick-knacks and small things scattered along the way.
Soon the sedan chair came to the door of the Daqing Palace, but Gao Guiying could not go directly to the ground, at this time two palace maids came over, one holding wheat bran in one hand, and the other holding a book in the other, and two green onions in the book.
Zhao Xu was also very strange but didn't ask, he knew what ancient rites there were, anyway, he didn't understand this reputation thing, just watch it.
At this time, someone immediately took a torch with straw and baked it in front of the sedan chair. Later, Zhao Xu learned that this was a sedan chair, in order to get rid of evil and evil spirits.
Then I saw Tao Gu come over and ask Zhao Xu to kick the sedan car door and then carry the bride into the main hall, at this time, the palace maid who took the book handed the book to Gao Guiying, and kept thinking that she was sprinkled with wheat bran.
Zhao Xu not only carried this one bride on his back, because there were three sedan chairs outside, he still had to carry the other two, and finally completed the three brides standing in the center of the hall with their hijabs covered after several back and forth.
Zhao Xu held a piece of red silk in his hand, and the other end was connected to the three brides, in front of them were Zhao Kuangyin and He's, and the Queen Mother was sitting at the bottom, and the parents were the biggest.
Tao Gu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was the host, and he walked to Zhao Kuangyin's side:
"The emperor's auspicious time has arrived, do you think it's the beginning?"
"Aiqing is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and this matter is very familiar. Just do what you want. Tao Gu commanded.
He walked to the left front of Zhao Xu. Yell:
"When the auspicious time comes, the newcomer worships heaven and earth."
"Worship Heaven and Earth"
"Two Worship Halls"
"Husband and wife worship each other"
"Sent to the Cave Room"
Soon some of the rituals were finally completed, but the three brides were sent back to the prince's east palace, which was the place where the Daqing Hall held large celebrations.
Zhao Kuangyin has already prepared a banquet outside the hall for everyone to have fun, he just toasted a glass of wine here, not staying here, if he is here, everyone still has any thoughts to have fun.
No, as soon as Zhao Kuangyin left, everyone drank it, Zhao Xu also toasted one by one, although he could drink, he couldn't stand the crowd, and after a while, he was a little drunk, and everyone was also very interested and didn't let him drink more.
He still has big things to do tonight, and if he gets drunk, it's really hard to talk, and if he wants to call it true in the future, everyone will feel uncomfortable.
But that's how Zhao Xu was already crumbling when he went back with the support of the little eunuch, but as soon as he returned to the East Palace, he immediately came to his senses, and it turned out that he was pretending to be drunk.
Zhao Xu also knew that this group of wine jars was definitely not their opponent, so he had to use this trick.
