Chapter Ninety-Eight: Marriage in the Church
"The prince has solved the question of the young masters of the Qi family, and he has already entered the door, and he is coming to the Qiufan Courtyard at this time."
Su Xin ran a little anxiously, and a little nervous and excited, with a little blushing face. Qi Simin smiled on the side: "Wrong, wrong, Su Xin, now it's time for you to change your name to uncle." ”
Su Xin nodded, and simply changed his words: "Uncle is now stopping at the door of the young master, I'm afraid it will be time to come in in a while, let's go outside to stop it." ”
Hearing this, Xi Po hurriedly put on Bai Yanran's hijab carefully, and Qi Simin pulled Su Xin and Xile with great interest and walked out menacingly: "Hurry up, hurry up, it's rare to have the opportunity to embarrass His Royal Highness King An today, I'm afraid your young lady will be distressed in the future." ”
This is the custom of the people, from the gate to the courtyard gate to the house door, each door is a hurdle to embarrass the groom, and when you reach the innermost door, the bride's sister or handkerchief will hand over the door.
This custom is to make the day of great joy lively, and secondly, it is also meant to let the groom know that it is not easy to marry a bride, so he should cherish it more.
Bai Yanran was not annoyed, she only shook her head behind her and sighed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be married in the spring next year, and it must be very lively." ”
Qi Simin shrunk his neck when he thought of this, and said with a dry smile: "I'm just talking casually, where will it really be difficult for His Royal Highness King An." ”
After that, he covered the door and went out lightly like a thief, and his momentum was gone, causing the two girls to purse their lips and snicker.
Outside, Bai Boren looked at Ji Lingyun single-handedly and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King An didn't even bring a companion to come alone, it seems that he is a master of both civil and military arts. ”
Bai Boren obviously heard that the Qi brothers outside were competing in martial arts, so he naturally wanted to fight for literature, so he came to such a sentence.
Ji Lingyun knew it, and only said: "It's easy to say, but my uncle has to be merciful." "But in my heart, I was crying bitterly.
It was because of yesterday's incident that Ji Lingyun was not at ease in the house, so he left Gu Fang to watch. Because he was not worried about Zhu Yong, he left the imperial brother to receive guests in the mansion, these two couldn't get out, and there was no need for the others to take them, so Ji Lingyun had to go to the meeting alone.
Bai Boren cleared his throat and said, "Since this is the case, I will ask the question, and I will ask the prince...... Say the eight characters of the sister's birthday. ”
These words turned really abruptly, not to mention Ji Lingyun, everyone around the crowd was stunned. Ji Lingyun quickly came back to his senses, Bai Boren was testing whether he was really marrying a wife just because of the eight-character fit.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, the smile on the corner of his lips was deep, and he replied, "I don't know." ”
Bai Boren looked at him fixedly, and said with a smile: "It seems that the prince can't answer this question, and he can't enter this door." ”
Bai Zonglin coughed a few times in the crowd, and it was not easy to come to stop him, Qi came over and pulled the person to the front yard, and scolded in his mouth: "There are so many guests sitting in front of you, what are you still rubbing here." Boren is Yan'er's brother, will he still hurt her! ”
Bai Zonglin left worriedly, but Ji Lingyun was not in a hurry, and said to Bai Boren: "I can't hide it, I actually fell in love with Yan'er at first sight, but because I didn't know the name, I had to be bitterly lovesick, and when I couldn't sleep and eat, I used Danqing to fall in love." ”
As soon as he said this, everyone in the audience remembered the Danqing paintings at the Sacrifice to the Heavens, and this was how the secret path came. In fact, Ji Lingyun's words are half-true, and the danqing is indeed to express lovesickness, but it is a matter after the marriage.
Ji Lingyun's kung fu of talking nonsense with his eyes open was first-class, so he heard him say again: "Fortunately, Yan'er and I are a match made in heaven, and I inadvertently let me know Yan'er's identity. ”
The bluffing crowd was dizzy, and Ji Lingyun continued: "Please also ask my uncle to raise his noble hand and give me another chance for the sake of me and Yan'er's love for the sake of the love between me and Yan'er." ”
Ji Lingyun put the shelf so low, and called a "brother" affectionately, and Ji Lingyun was satisfied with the answer, Bai Boren deliberately released the water, and said: "In this case, if His Royal Highness King An can guess what talent Yan'er is best at, I will let it go." ”
Ji Lingyun immediately replied: "Yan'er is the best at chess. ”
After all, he used to be a cat and get along with him day and night, Ji Lingyun knew that although Bai Yanran played a good hand, she didn't play it often, and she didn't like poetry, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting. However, it is common for her to play a chess game alone, and she can often pass the afternoon.
Ji Lingyun was once dissatisfied because he was ignored, so he pretended to be ignorant and shouted on the chessboard, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the black and white on the chessboard fighting, and it was actually two chess moves played by one hand, which was amazing, and it can be seen that his chess skills are exquisite.
Bai Boren showed a look of surprise on his face, he thought that his sister had never liked publicity, so he had shown a hand at the banquet in the Houfu mansion, Ji Lingyun would definitely answer that it was Gonghou, and he had to guess a few times to answer correctly, but he didn't want to really know.
Seeing that Bai Boren was silent, Ji Lingyun couldn't wait to push the door sideways with a fist, and everyone also rushed to the door of the house, and then stopped waiting to see the show.
Ji Lingyun pushed the door in, and really saw the prospective sister-in-law blocking the door with two girls. He beckoned, and immediately a servant from the palace stepped forward to hand over the tray, and Ji Lingyun uncovered the cloth towel covered on the tray, revealing all kinds of gold and jade hairpin bracelets, earrings and other jewelry inside.
Qi Simin thought of Fang Caiyanran's cousin's words, and decided to accept the bribe, so she carefully selected a pair of exquisite jade earrings. Seeing that the two girls were bound and didn't dare to move, they picked up two gold bracelets and put them on their wrists.
With a short hand, the three of them moved away from each other, Ji Lingyun pushed open the last door amid the commotion of everyone outside the door, and finally saw the beautiful girl sitting on the couch.
He walked over step by step, because he had waited too long, the process was too difficult, and he almost thought that the beautiful scene in front of him was a dream.
"Yan'er"
Ji Lingyun wanted to hold Bai Yanran's pair of soft wattles as he spoke, but an old woman appeared in front of him from the side, and said slowly: "The auspicious time has come, the bride should get into the sedan chair, and the prince will lead the way in front." ”
So Ji Lingyun could only watch the bride he finally saw after passing the test, and was helped out by his uncle. And he was surrounded by everyone, and the subordinates of the palace took out peanuts and longan and other things that had been prepared long ago and threw them at the crowd.
If the groom meets the noisy Yue family, he has to take a step to chant a poem to successfully take away the bride, Ji Lingyun is so relaxed now that he is lucky, but at this moment he still can't help but feel sad in his heart.
At this time, he got on the sedan chair and went back to the house to get married, Ji Lingyun knew that what was waiting for him was a toast and greetings, and he was afraid that he would not let go of himself if he didn't toss until night, and when would he wait until he entered the cave room!
Bai Yanran couldn't see the road clearly with a hijab on her head, so she had to be led, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried, Bai Boren whispered to her on the side: "Say goodbye today, and see you again in the future, you will be Princess An, but you will always be the daughter of my Bai family." You live a good life in Anwangfu, you don't have to endure any grievances, if everything goes well, it is naturally good, if you are not satisfied, go home, the family does not miss you a pair of dishes and chopsticks. ”
Bai Yanran's eyes under the hijab turned red, and two tears fell. Bai Boren's steps paused, let out a long breath, handed her hand to Xi Po, and sighed, "Go ahead,"
Xi Po led Bai Yanran to the sedan chair. Bai Yanran noticed the change and paused, and asked Su Xin on the side in a low voice: "What about my father and mother?" Why don't you come and drop me off. ”
Su Xin glanced back at the lively crowd, also a little lost, and replied, "The master will follow him to the palace in a while, madam...... I don't know where I went. ”
Xi Po interjected on the side: "Miss don't be sad, she will return to the door in three days, and then she can reunite with her father." Today is your day of great joy, such a good marriage, but you should be happy. ”
Bai Yanran stood in place and waited for a while, waiting for Su Xin to urge: "Miss, His Royal Highness King An has been watching in front of you, if you don't get on the sedan chair again, I'm afraid he will come over to rob people." ”
Bai Yanran sighed, and had to be supported by Su Xin and Xi Po to get on the sedan chair. Xi Po dragged a long tune and shouted "get up the sedan chair", and the sedan chair drivers lifted the flower bridge together and walked forward steadily.
After the sedan chair left, the lively guests dispersed, and a few children on the street followed, singing and dancing on the crumbs of firecrackers. Qi came out from behind the door with red eyes, Bai Zonglin followed beside her and hugged her shoulder, comforting: "It's okay, it's okay, my daughter is going to live a good life, we should be happy." Having said that, he also had a little more melancholy on his face.
Coming out of the gate of the Bai family, the groom got on the high-headed horse, and the bride entered the eight-carried sedan chair, and then knocked all the way around half of the capital to the Anwang Mansion, and the joy stopped.
In front of the palace is the Royal Highness of the Crown Prince, and there is still the queen sitting in the hall, and the guests are all sitting upright, even if the groom welcomes his relatives back, he has never made a noise, but a pair of eyes are naturally seen.
There were many ladies who brought young ladies to the banquet, looking at King An, who was dressed in red and becoming more and more handsome, the handkerchief in his hand was stirred tighter, and he couldn't wait to pick off the phoenix crown and go up to the church by himself.
Among them, the worst are Lan Yuanxin, Zuo Jinyun and Shu Yue, who is dressed as a girl among them.
When the two arrived in front of the hall, one end of red silk was stuffed in each hand, and then they bowed to the queen Tong and Bai Zonglin.
Xi Po shouted loudly on the side: "One worships heaven and earth, two worships the high hall, husband and wife worship each other, and the ceremony is completed." ”
There was a little student with oily hair and flour on the table, and he also learned to drag out the tone and shouted, "Send it to the cave room." ”
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother were all smiling, Fang felt more comfortable. In addition, Zhu Yong toasted and greeted him everywhere, so he let go and began to eat and drink, and he had the appearance of a wedding banquet.
Bai Yanran was sent into the cave room, and Ji Lingyun was really as he thought, and was toasted by the sons of the family. It's really that Ji Lingyun has always been used to being at ease, and although his status is valuable, he doesn't hold his own identity, so he has some friendship with the sons of various families.
In the past, the sons of these families were not less angry with His Royal Highness King An, and if you want to blame His Royal Highness King An, this is not only the prince of the prince, but also the younger brother of His Royal Highness the Prince, but also handsome and temperamental.
All the children of the capital, there are a few young ladies who have never experienced secret admiration but admire the sad things of His Royal Highness King An, so they naturally can't let him go easily by seizing today's great opportunity.
