332, the big wedding

Regardless of whether Xu Yunke was willing to be the concubine of the prince of Shenjun, Jiang Xuan didn't care about her anymore.

Xu Yunke can fall to such a point, she really can't blame others, she did it herself.

If she can retract those unrealistic ideas early, she will probably be able to marry a high family like other ladies and continue to live a rich and glorious life.

The days are fast and fast, Jiang Xuan's wedding date is approaching, and within a few days, the General's Mansion is already full of lights.

The invitation sent by the General's Mansion has invited most of the families in the capital, and even sent it to Jiang Xuan's maternal grandfather's house in Yanzhou.

The invitation is sent expedited, otherwise a month will have passed long ago.

The Lin family was implicated in the rebellion of the eldest princess of Changning, and the family returned to Yanzhou, and rarely wrote to ask Jiang Xuan's brothers and sisters about it over the years.

It's Jiang Chong, and the annual rituals have never been broken.

Jiang Xuan had the impression that he rarely went to his grandfather's house, and he rarely saw people from the Lin family.

At that time, when she was young, the Xu family was in charge, and she was tortured, and she did not see anyone from the Lin family come forward to speak.

Later, she went to the frontier and never saw the Lin family again.

This time, after Jiang Chong sent the invitation, the Lin family sent three truckloads of things over, saying that it was to add makeup to Jiang Xuan, and it was Lin Shaoqian, the cousin of Jiang Xuan's uncle's family, who came with the car.

This cousin Jiang Xuan still has an impression, and rarely goes to Lin's house, Lin Shaoqian is very kind to her, and will take her to play.

Lin Shaoqian was first received by Jiang Yu, and Jiang Xuan received the news and also went to Jiang Yu's side.

Because of those previous experiences, Jiang Xuan didn't have any expectations for the people of the Lin family, if the people were not bad, then they would have more contacts.

Along the way, I thought about it, and when I arrived at Jiang Yu's courtyard, I also saw Lin Shaoqian.

This man was about twenty-seven or eighteen, with a thin but tall posture, a upright and serious face, ordinary clothes, but the workmanship and fabrics were not bad, and when he heard a voice, he looked at him with a straight eyebrow.

However, the temperament is a little cold, and it looks like it's not easy to get close to.

Jiang Xuan was pleased, looking at her appearance, it was a rare good demeanor.

"Ah Xuan, this is the seventh cousin." Jiang Yu introduced the two.

Jiang Xuan stepped forward to salute, "Seventh cousin." ”

Lin Shaoqian returned the salute and said, "Congratulations cousin, the time is too tight, the family sent me to enter Beijing with makeup and whip up quickly, and the eldest aunt and aunt are behind, and they will not be able to arrive in Beijing until after your wedding, I hope to catch up with you to recognize your relatives." ”

Jiang Xuan glanced at Jiang Yu and saw that he didn't have any displeased expression, so he said, "Seventh cousin has worked his journey. ”

Lin Shaoqian was also looking at Jiang Xuan, he still saw this cousin when he was a child, at that time his aunt went, the little little person, silent, and his face was not cheerful, he was a half-grown teenager at the time, the youngest in the family, he liked it when he saw such a cousin, and he would play with her when he met.

At the beginning, the family joked that they would marry their cousin to him, and when he thought of this, he smiled, fortunately, his cousin never married him.

She deserves better.

Now, it is indeed what you want, and it is naturally a happy thing for everyone.

When they didn't meet, Lin Shaoqian was very curious about what would become of this taciturn little cousin.

Looking at her now, she is really stronger than ordinary people.

"Seventh cousin......" Jiang Yu's voice made Lin Shaoqian come back to his senses, and seeing that the brother and sister in front of him were both questioning, remembering that Jiang Yu had just asked about the recent situation at home, he said,

"There is a cousin and cousin who say that because my grandmother is sick, the rest of the family has to serve at home."

Hearing that Mrs. Lin was sick, Jiang Yu and Jiang Xuan couldn't help but ask with concern. I heard that it was because I caught a cold in the autumn, which was not a serious illness, and I was relieved.

It's just that the only granddaughter is going to get married, and she is still married to that kind of person, and the people of the Lin family only sent Lin Shaoqian to watch the ceremony, which was unexpected by Jiang Xuan.

According to other people, it is possible to come with a family and be happy.

What's more, now that the Lin family has been demoted, they should think about recovering even more.

This made Jiang Xuan feel a little funny, the Lin family, is this Qinggao, or Qinggao?

However, Jiang Xuan has seen this cousin for many years, and his first impression is still good, but he is not familiar with it, and some words are not easy to speak, let alone ask more.

After all, there is a difference between men and women, but he said, "The seventh cousin came from afar, thinking that he was tired, so Ah Xuan retired first." ”

With Jiang Yu here, Lin Shaoqian doesn't need her to arrange it.

Jiang Xuan saluted and said goodbye to Lin Shaoqian, and then left Jiang Yu's courtyard.

On the same calendar, Lin Yi's people sent a make-up box, a phoenix crown.

Although the royal marriage has royal etiquette, on top of the royal etiquette, Lin Yi gives Jiang Xuan dignity to a greater extent.

The second wife and the third wife surrounded the phoenix crown, all of them were amazed, there were nine golden dragons on the top, there were eight golden phoenixes, and there was also a golden phoenix at the back, a total of nine dragons and nine phoenixes.

The rest of the pearls and gems are even more luxurious.

Then there is a big red brocade Yunxia wedding dress, which is embroidered on the top, or paved with Cui Zhai pattern, which is the pattern used by the queen when she is married.

The second wife said with a smile, "The Emperor treats you seriously, these are all things that can only be used by the queen, and Queen Gu hasn't worn it today." ”

Gu Nian was promoted from the princess of Jin to the queen, so naturally he didn't need these.

The third lady pointed to the gem on the top and said, "In the future, when the gem on this phoenix crown is removed, I don't know how many pieces of jewelry can be made." ”

Jiang Xuan stroked the phoenix crown, and the gemstone beads were cold and cold, making her feel strange.

She is really about to get married, or marry Lin Yi. It was an experience that had never been experienced in two lifetimes.

When you are really about to face it, it is inevitable that there is still some inexplicable unreality.

The days passed in a flash, the day of Jiang Xuan's marriage came, the autumn breeze was blowing, and the warm sun was shining on this day, which made people feel better.

The entire general's mansion was busy, and the people didn't know the banquet, and in the flower hall, Jiang Chong took the men to greet the guests in front, and the second and third wives entertained the ladies in the backyard.

For a time, the house was full of joy, and people came and went endlessly.

Jiang Xuan was called up by Biyun early in the morning, dressed, twisted her face, layer by layer, and put on her wedding clothes one by one, which took a full hour, and then the Quanfu people sent by the Empress Dowager combed her hair.

It is said that when Empress Gu married the emperor, she asked her to comb her hair, and she was really a blessed person, so the Empress Dowager asked her to comb Jiang Xuan's hair.

Quanfu combed her hair in the back, said auspicious words with a smile, sang a combing song, and Jiang Xuan in the bronze mirror was beautiful and bright.

Jiang Xuan was in a trance, thinking in his heart, this time, he was really going to get married.

After the hair was combed, someone sent by the second wife had already wrapped a big red seal for Mrs. Quanfu, and took her down to rest, waiting to eat the noodles.

After the Quanfu people went out, Chen Jiao and Lan Ying came in hand in hand, Chen Jiao got married a year ago, she circled around Jiang Xuan, and said with a smile,

"Your wedding dress is much more expensive than what we ordinary people wear, fortunately the weather is cool, otherwise you would have suffered."

She turned around, and suddenly looked at Lan Ying with winced eyes,

"You were given a marriage to the king of Huai'an, and when you see Sister Ah Xuan in the future, you have to call your mother."

Originally, everyone had never thought about this problem, but after Chen Jiao's reminder, Jiang Xuan and Lan Ying were surprised, and then laughed.

What could be more embarrassing than a good sister becoming a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

After a while, the second wife, the third wife, etc. also came to talk to Jiang Xuan, what the third wife said was decent, but she told Jiang Xuan to wait for the emperor after marriage, not to anger him, if he provoked the emperor's disgust, even if the mother's family was distressed, there was no room to speak.

It's really for Jiang Xuan.

The second wife looked at Jiang Xuan with some sadness, although she said that her niece married so well, but in the end, she was married, if her niece was wronged in her husband's family, and her family wanted to find trouble, there was no way.

Where are the courtiers who are looking for trouble with the royal family?

The Emperor Taishang is the person who is high up and cannot be touched, and now such a person has married his niece away.

The second wife was very worried about Jiang Xuan.

However, she still endured those worries, and said to Jiang Xuan with a smile,

"The second aunt thinks that the emperor can treat you so attentively, just like you like this, don't be restrained, don't listen to your third aunt, you are too restrained, but you lose your interest."

Jiang Xuan has been independent since she was a child, and besides, she doesn't come back when she marries.

What's more, she hadn't thought about how to get along with Lin Yi in the future, anyway, she really couldn't do it if she was asked to be humble and humble like the third wife.

However, she is still grateful for the kindness of the second and third wives.

When it was time for the luncheon, everyone went to eat first, Chen Jiao and Lan Ying also went to the table, and as soon as the two arrived at the gate, they met Jiang Yu and Lin Shaoqian coming in from outside the courtyard.

Today, Jiang Xuan got married, and Jiang Yu was also very festive.

Seeing that there was a foreign man, the two hung their heads and saluted, and then hurriedly retreated.

When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Lan Ying looked back, her eyes were full of the back of the festive man.

"Lan Ying, what are you looking at?" Chen Jiao took her hand and asked.

Lan Ying turned around, looked at Chen Jiao calmly, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, let's go to the front and sit down." ”

When Jiang Yu and Lin Shaoqian entered the house, Jiang Xuan was using snacks, and she was woken up from early morning until noon, and she was not dripping with water, which would be very hungry.

However, Biyun listened to the second wife's instructions and said that the bride should not use too many things, otherwise it would be a violation of the rules.

Seeing Jiang Yu and the two coming in, Jiang Xuan laughed.

Jiang Yu said to Biyun, "You guys should step back first, I'll look at it here." ”

Biyun was originally the maid ring sent by Jiang Yu to Jiang Xuan, but he still hesitated, glanced at Jiang Xuan, and then saw that there was indeed no other food in the house, so he withdrew with the others.

Jiang Yu dragged a stool over and sat in front of Jiang Xuan, and then Lin Shaoqian took out a small box from his arms and opened it, and there were several pastries that Jiang Xuan liked to eat.

Jiang Xuan was delighted and gave Jiang Yu a thumbs up.

"It was Shao Qian who reminded me, and I haven't seen anyone else get married, so I don't know much." Jiang Yu explained.

Jiang Xuan didn't eat much, he ate a little bit of everything, and put the box down, "Isn't there a banquet in front?" Why don't you come to me again without a table? ”

Jiang Yu replied casually, 'I'm not hungry', and then looked at her, from the phoenix crown to the auspicious clothes on my body, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"If my mother is still alive and I see you wearing this dress, I don't know how happy I should be, I still remember when you were a child, only a little big, and my mother didn't let me touch it, and then my mother went, and you pulled the hem of my clothes and said that I wanted my mother to ......"

Jiang Yu said and tilted his head, his voice was a little choked, "After you get married, you must be well, if you have any grievances, just come back and say, my brother will definitely support you." ”

Lin Shaoqian, who was beside him, patted Jiang Yu's shoulder, "Cousin, don't make your cousin cry, be careful of her makeup." ”

Jiang Yu looked back and couldn't see anything unusual, but Jiang Xuan knew that he was trying his best to hide his feelings.

After a while, he suddenly looked a little serious, "Ah Xuan, today is a happy day, but I have something to tell you." ”

"You say." Jiang Xuan said.

Jiang Yu looked at Lin Shaoqian, nodded at him, and heard Lin Shaoqian say, "You must be very strange why the family has been ignoring you, aren't you?" ”

Jiang Xuan was indifferent, anyone would find this matter strange.

Lin Shaoqian smiled bitterly, "It's not that the family doesn't care about you, it's true, the family also has difficulties at home." ”

"At first, it was because I was coerced by the eldest princess of Changning, and I didn't dare to get too close to you, for fear of implicating you, and I was even more afraid that the eldest princess of Changning would threaten your father when the time came because of the relationship between the two families."

He paused, "Later, the eldest princess of Changning was exposed, although she was demoted, everyone was relieved, and they wanted to go to Jinling to see you."

Who would have thought ......"

His face became serious, "Later, when I returned to Yanzhou, my grandmother was ready to go to Jinling, but I didn't expect that someone from the family came at this time, and it was someone sent by Xu Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of War."

The people who came threatened the family not to go to Jinling to see you, and also asked to cut off contact with you. ”

"And, there is also a handle in the hand, the two uncles and aunts in the family, for some reason, suddenly fell ill, people became crazy, the six relatives did not recognize, once they got sick, even those close to them could be killed."

"But once the madness is over, it's like a normal person, and I don't know anything about what I did when I was sick."

"The people of the Xu family said that they could help the family heal, but this medicine is very expensive, and if the family breaks off contact with you, they can provide this antidote for free."

"Originally, the family refused, especially my grandmother, she has been thinking about you for many years, and now I can finally go to see you calmly, how can she be willing?"

"We all have the same idea, for so many years, we are ashamed of your brothers and sisters, and we want to make up for it."

So he rejected the proposal of the Xu family and wanted to buy the antidote with a lot of money.

The Xu family agreed, but who knows, the antidote can only solve the temporary illness, and the second uncle will still get sick, and the house has already been raided, and there is not much money.

I bought the antidote once, and then I ran out of money.

The second uncle and the third uncle are crazy again, this time, they stabbed the eldest aunt and grandmother, but fortunately, the treatment was timely, and both of them were fine, but the grandmother would be sick from time to time over the years, and she never recovered again. ”

"In the end, they are relatives, and they can't be killed, so the eldest uncle ordered that the family is not allowed to see you, nor is it allowed to deliver news to you......"

Jiang Xuan didn't expect that there would be such a secret inside, over the years, Uncle Xu has really been very peaceful outside, and he has indeed done something for the imperial court.

I didn't expect this old fox to do such a thing behind his back.

Jiang Yu squeezed his hands and said sternly, "One day, I will let Old Fox Xu repay these sins." ”

Lin Shaoqian was a little guilty, sad, and lowered his head.

Jiang Xuan looked at him like this and comforted, "Big brother, seventh cousin, I know what you said, and I will tell the emperor." ”

She knew that Jiang Yu would tell her because she knew that Lin Yi was in Cha Xu's house and in Cha A Hibiscus Ointment.

In the past two years, the vegetarian food of Pujian has continued, but it has lost the addictive taste of the past.

It's probably because I'm afraid of exposure.,The massage that entered the courtyard in the third time is also continuing.,It's also a real massage.。

Through the woman Xu met in Puji Nunnery that day, Lin Yi also found out that almost all the female dependents of other families were addicted to hibiscus cream, and the officials of those families in the court were transferred out of the capital by the emperor under various pretexts and sent to various places, while the female dependents were left in the capital and taken care of.

It was past noon, and it was nearly dusk.

Although it was not yet dark, the general's palace was lit with lanterns early.

The guests were full, and those who got the invitation came early, and those who didn't get the invitation also gathered outside the house to watch the excitement, wanting to see the demeanor of the future queen mother.

Therefore, for a while, there was a lot of noise inside and outside the General's Mansion, which was really unprecedented and lively.

It can almost be said that it has not been lively in a long time.

The more dusk came, the more everyone looked forward to it, looking forward to the emperor coming to greet him in person, and looking forward to seeing the bride's demeanor.

Outside, there was a sound of neat footsteps, it was a column of troops, the leader rode a horse, pulled the reins, jumped off the horse, everyone saw clearly, it was the commander of the Royal Forest Army, Commander Yang.

Jiang Chong had already been waiting at the door, and when he saw that Commander Yang was coming, the two of them were military generals at the same time, and they had a good relationship with each other, so he said with a smile,

"Why is Lord Yang here? Take your men down for a drink? ”

"You can't afford to lose their share of money."

Commander Yang smiled and said, "The emperor will come to greet you immediately, and the emperor has asked me to strengthen the defense of your mansion." ”

After speaking, with a wave of his big hand, all the Imperial Forest Army behind him entered the General's Mansion.

Jiang Chong could understand the emperor's thoughts, so he rushed to the assassination in Jinling, and the emperor's side could be said to be in danger.

On such an occasion, it is better to be careful.

So, he didn't laugh with Commander Yang anymore, watched Commander Yang separate the guests, and thought, it was about the Emperor Taishang who came.

Originally, he was not in the mood to think about his daughter's marriage, it was not a family business, this would come to an end, and he suddenly had an urge not to marry his daughter.

The firecrackers in the distance, the sound of gongs and drums gradually approached, getting louder and louder, and a personal guard who passed the message came, "The emperor is here." ”

Jiang Chong packed up his mood and went out.

The entrance of the alley has been surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, Lin Yi rode in, followed by the Eight Lifting Sedan Chairs, and then followed by the Royal Forest Army.

Lin Yi dismounted and took his entourage with him, he was wearing the crown dress that the emperor should wear, with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on it, and his face was handsome and deep.

Except for the fact that when he used to go to court, he would wear the emperor's crown dress, he rarely dressed like this, but once he dressed up, he had a kind of compelling handsomeness.

What's more, today's people are in good spirits at happy events, and people are more and more handsome who dare not look directly.

Jiang Chong wanted to kneel, but Lin Yi supported him and said with a smile, "Father-in-law, don't be polite." It should be me who gives you a bow and kowtows. ”

Jiang Chong excused himself without guilt, but let Lin Yi come and bow down to him, forget it.

Those who came to greet Lin Yi in person were Gu Shi'an, the king of Su, and the king of Qijun, the king of Shenjun, and other people from the royal family.

Gu Shi'an was an old acquaintance, and he looked at Jiang Chong with a smile, "Congratulations." ”

Looking at these people who accompanied Lin Yi to greet him, Jiang Chong was a little speechless, so many people, do you want to ask for a greeting?

The thought that I just suppressed and didn't want Jiang Xuan to marry faintly came up again.

When they got inside, when everyone saw this pair of people, they were also stunned, and they all wanted to kneel down and salute, but Gu Shi'an smiled and stopped,

"Excuse me, you salute like this, this kiss is not welcome, we are here to see the emperor get married, everyone is the same."

Lin Yi also waved his hand, so that everyone didn't have to care.

In the Biyue Pavilion, Jiang Xuan soon knew.

Jiang Yu and Lin Shaoqian withdrew, and the Quanfu people wanted to give Jiang Xuan the last phoenix crown to wear.

The weight of this phoenix crown is not light, and if you wear it early, Jiang Xuan's neck can't stand it.

After everything was ready, Jiang Yu came in, squatted in front of her, and said softly, "Sister, I'll carry you out." ”

Originally, there was no need to carry it here, just need to be supported by Quanfu and Yahuan to go to the front hall.

Jiang Xuan was lying on his back, under the hijab, his eyes were red.

Out of this door, her life will open another chapter, people often say, marrying is like a second reincarnation, I don't know whether it's good or bad, I can only feel the stone step by step.

When he arrived in the front hall, Jiang Xuan said goodbye to Jiang Chong, and then Jiang Yu carried him on the sedan chair.

The sedan chair was lifted very smoothly, there was no bump at all, the sound of cannons was wronged, and the sound of gongs and drums was blowing and beating all the way.

The emperor got married, and he used the Imperial Forest Army to open the way, and it was rare to see that it was not crowded on the huge capital road.

Behind the sedan chair, Jiang Chong and Jiang Yu looked at the sedan chair that was gradually moving away, the father and son both had sour eyes, and the girl who had been raised for more than 20 years was taken away......

The second master comforted the father and son in the back, "Ah Xuan didn't go to live in the palace, so he could come back often." ”

Jiang Chong sighed, even if he comes back often, it is different, it is different.

Over there, the sedan chair took almost an hour to get outside the palace gate, enter through the palace gate, and go to Lin Yi's residence in the palace.

Originally, they were going to get married outside the palace, but the Queen Mother said that they couldn't care where they lived after they got married, but on the day of marriage, they must be in the palace, otherwise it would be difficult for her to go out to watch the ceremony.

The sedan chair stopped, and the bride whispered outside,

"Girl, it's here, you get ready."

Jiang Xuan held the jade ruyi in his hand, straightened his body, and heard someone singing outside.

After that, she was helped out of the sedan chair by the Quanfu people, she couldn't see anything clearly, only heard the words of the guests, the earth-shattering gongs and drums, and the heart that had been calm suddenly became nervous again.

After stepping over the saddle and brazier, she was carried to the chapel.

Naturally, it was the Empress Dowager and the first emperor who worshipped, and the first emperor used a portrait instead.

Jiang Xuan under the hijab, looking at the smooth marble floor, his black boots were on his side, and the hem of his shirt was embroidered with a golden dragon.

She had never seen him in the crown of the emperor, and she thought to herself, not knowing what it should look like.

After worshipping the church, she was helped into the new house, surrounded by female voices, although there were many people, but no one said anything excessive, just according to the regulations step by step, and then there was humanity,

"It's time to lift the hijab."

A jade ruyi stretched out, the hijab jumped away, and the brightness and liveliness around him rushed straight towards Jiang Xuan.

She blinked, adjusting to the light, and then looked up at Lin Yi.

He is really handsome and straight today than before, and his figure is getting taller and taller under the crown dress, and he also smiled slightly when he saw her looking over.

This smile seemed to have all the candlelight in the room gathered in his eyes at once, making Jiang Xuan's heart pound.

Lin Yi is also the first time to see a little girl dressed like this, in the past, she had some girlish youth, she was extremely bright under the phoenix crown, with the charm of a woman, gentle and moving, which made people have a sense of possessiveness.

He froze for a moment.

This is his wife, his companion for the rest of his life, and he will shelter her in the future and be happy for the rest of his life.

When the people on the side saw the appearance of the two, they were all eating and laughing, reminding the two that it was time to drink a glass of wine.

Soon, a palace man came up with a wine glass, and the two of them drank wine around their arms, and after taking a sip, Jiang Xuan choked and coughed for a long time.

This cough made everyone on the side laugh.

When she recovered, Jiang Xuan still took a sip of the rest of the wine, and her throat was so hot that she couldn't speak.

Lin Yi really wanted to touch the little girl's head, his little girl, why was she so cute.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't finish drinking this wine, who would dare to say anything with him? Isn't she coughing badly?

When the second cup came up, Jiang Xuan's eyes widened, why is there still one? Isn't it just one cup?

She asked Lin Yi in a low voice, "How many glasses of this wine are there?" ”

He smiled and said, "Three cups, can you drink it?" ”

Jiang Xuan heard three cups, and felt that his throat was getting hotter and hotter, this cup was so uncomfortable, let alone three cups?

Will she faint?

She secretly thought that if she fainted, it would be fun to spend candles in this cave room.

She stared at the cup, anyway, it was uncomfortable for Lin Yi to faint, I heard that women would be very painful for the first time...... The pain can be felt later, which is actually good.

She closed her eyes and went to get the cup, but just as she was about to drink it, she was blocked by Lin Yi.

He just wanted to ask the little girl to say something soft to beg her, but he didn't expect that she was so good that she was ready to drink it herself?

It seems that he is really going to be eaten to death by her.

Lin Yi thought helplessly, and then raised his head and drank the wine.

After drinking the wine, and then it was time to spread the tent, Quanfu asked Lin Yi and Jiang Xuan to sit together, and then grabbed the dried fruits on the tray and threw them at the two.

The fruit fell from the top of her head and rolled onto the bed, Jiang Xuan turned her head sideways to look at Lin Yi, Lin Yi smiled, reached out and took her in his arms, and blocked it for her.

The women who were watching on the side laughed in low voices, it seems that the Emperor really likes this wife.

After everything was over, the women didn't make any more trouble in the cave room, just kidding, who dared to make trouble in the emperor's cave room, everyone retreated.

"I'll go outside to take a look, I'm resting in the palace today, and when I get back to the door, we'll live directly outside the palace, and you're here waiting for me to come back."

He took her hand, rubbed it, and whispered, "If you're hungry, you call someone, you know?" ”

Jiang Xuan responded, and when he saw him leave, he just wanted to move, but he turned around and took off the phoenix crown on her head.

"This is heavy, take it down first, you have to wash, call someone to be, just like at home."

Jiang Xuan moved her neck, and sure enough, it was much lighter, she smiled and said, "You go to the front, I'll do it myself." ”
