Chapter 140: The Phoenix Crown
Duan Meimei walked into her room, followed by the little maid and pity.
The room was cleaned and cleaned.
A bucket of bath water, a touch of the water temperature, just right.
"I'll wait for the girl to bathe." Mercy quickly put down the burden.
This girl is obedient, Duan Meimei thought.
She undressed and soaked herself in hot water.
The fog was rising, and the late summer afternoon sun was slanting into the room, and she was in a little trance.
Mercy scrubbed her body.
"Girl, you're so beautiful."
"Okay, don't flatter me, you must have seen too many beauties in that place." Duan Meimei said listlessly.
"I think the official must have his own ideas, he is a person who does big things, and he must have arranged it." Pity rolled her eyes and said thoughtfully.
"How do you know he's a man who does big things?" Duan Meimei was excited, glaring at pity.
Pity was taken aback.
"Slaves deserve to die."
This girl is really difficult to serve, and the sweetheart who praises her will be stared at.
"Women are so stupid, really," Duan Meimei sighed, "Seeing that he was handsome and shrewd, I felt that he was a person who did great things, and it was inevitable that he would be mistaken for life, you should be cautious when you pick Lang Jun." ”
"Don't marry, just stay with the girl for the rest of your life." Mercy said.
This sentence made Duan Meimei a little moved.
I really didn't expect that in such a difficult day at home and abroad, it was actually a person like pity to accompany me.
"I'll just assume you're telling the truth." Duan Meimei said.
"Of course, what Mercy said is true. Mercy feels that there are no men in the world who are sincere, and most of the so-called infatuated men are really stupid, but the officials are different, and in the eyes of the officials, there is a kind of freedom that sees through everything, so that the mercy feels at ease, and the girl can also rest assured. Mercy said.
"You're really good at coaxing." Duan Meimei said this, and she was also thinking in her heart, what will Xu Yongzhi do next?
She changed into clean clothes, put on her keel armor, and gently pushed the door open. found Huo Yizun waiting downstairs.
"Meimei, your father asked me to take you first."
"How to get there?"
"Teleport."
"Oh, if you want to keep me far away, it's best to send it to Nantang and let Xiaogui watch, then why do you want to call me back, isn't it better for me to be in Yuzhou? I'm still more comfortable with Coco. ”
Duan Meimei flashed so many mean words in her mind, but finally opened her mouth and said, "Okay, Uncle Yizun." ”
A finger of pity.
"You come with me, too."
At the end of the portal is in another mansion, a safe house in the Yamajido.
"Go to the inner room, someone will call you then."
Huo Yizun didn't want to say more, opened the portal and left.
"Locked up in this cold courtyard, has he treated me like a concubine?" Duan Meimei finally couldn't help but speak.
"Girl," said Mercy, "the concubine is to be carried into the door, and this kind of thing that is kept outside is called an outer house, and it has no name." ”
"You know a lot!" Duan Meimei said.
"That's not what mercy means," said mercy...... "mercy still thinks that the officials should have an arrangement." ”
"What's the arrangement? What else is arranged? It's been sent to this house, what else is arranged! Duan Meimei said angrily.
"Girl, why don't you go into the house and sleep for a while, when you fall asleep, the time will be fast, and it will be dark." Pity is no longer afraid to say.
"If you don't sleep, you go in and sleep!" Duan Meimei said angrily.
"I'll see if the house is clean and clean first." Mercy said.
She walked into the room with her feet lifted and was taken aback.
"Girl! Girl! Pitiful's voice trembled.
"What are you afraid of, this girl? Are there any rats? Duan Meimei picked up the curtain and walked inside.
"Huh?"
Duan Meimei exclaimed softly.
On the bed, there is a complete set of bright red, bride's auspicious clothes.
"Congratulations, girl!" Pity hugged Duan Meimei.
Duan Meimei hesitated to walk to the bed and sit down, gently stroking the bridal dress, tears suddenly flowed down, Xu Yongzhi, Xu Yongzhi, what do you mean by this?
At this time, someone knocked softly on the door, and the footsteps were light, it should be a woman.
"Just come." Duan Meimei wiped her tears and walked over to open the door.
"Have you changed your clothes?" Tian Kokou probed in, and she changed into men's clothes.
"You...... You're not leaving! Duan Meimei exclaimed.
"Of course I didn't go, my cousin is getting married, can I go?" Tian Kokou said with a grin.
"I thought it was ......," Ms. Duan said.
"What do you think you think...... Don't worry, Sister Meimei, I'll help you wear it. Tian Kokou came in to help Duan Meimei change her clothes.
"It's dreamlike, like in a legendary storybook, it's not real at all." Duan Meimei said.
"Don't you think that when you first saw your cousin, you were already in a legend?" Tian Kokou said.
"Coco, are you here to help me?" Duan Meimei said.
"That's right," said Coco, "how he snatched you from the wedding, you snatched him from the wedding, okay?" ”
"Cousin, that's a great idea!" Mercy said.
"It's none of your business!" Coco glared, "Hurry up and adjust the rouge powder!" ”
Pity nodded, and hurried to work.
Kou Ko picked up the big red Jifu and couldn't help but compare it on herself, which was actually quite suitable.
"It's better for you to marry him." Duan Meimei said.
"No, he's so serious, he's annoyed." Coco said.
She unfolded her clothes and waited for Duan Meimei to stretch out her arms.
"Wait a minute," Duan Meimei stopped Koukou, "wait until I put the dragon armor inside the auspicious suit." ”
"Why are you going to beat my cousin?" Tian Kokou asked.
"It's not about beating him, he has a very powerful enemy, and it's better to be prepared." Duan Meimei said.
"There are so many people, can you still ask your bride to make a move?" Tian Kokou said.
"It doesn't hurt to put it on." Duan Meimei took three times and two times, put on the keel armor, and the Chinese-style auspicious clothes were wide, so she didn't feel cumbersome at all, if it was today's wedding dress, it would never be possible.
Tian Kokou looked at Duan Meimei's new look, which was very beautiful.
"You are not allowed to cry, if you cry again, your face will be spent, and you will not be able to be a bride." Coco said.
"I heard that the bride will cry before she gets in the sedan chair." Duan Meimei said.
"That's all fake crying, pretending to be filial." Tian Kokou said.
"So, your plan is to have two sedan chairs, and the two beautiful husbands are right?" Duan Meimei said.
"Yes!" Tian Kokou was elated and geared up.
"I actually want to rob a man with that bear child, I'm too miserable." Duan Meimei said.
"Hey, hey, hey, ...... in a moment," Tian Kokou muttered.
"Why are you more excited than I am?" Duan Meimei looked at her.
"Isn't it fun? It's so much fun! It's even more fun than dragon riding and water skiing! Tian Kokou said.
"What a child," Duan Meimei thought, "that is, in a carefree family like the Tian family, such a child can be raised." ”
Duan Meimei put on a phoenix crown and a xia veil.
Tian Kokou took the bronze mirror and showed her herself in the mirror.
Like a dream.
"Seems like there's something missing." Tian Kokou said.
"Less of that, isn't it?" There was a girl's voice outside the door.
Someone hung headfirst on the eaves and greeted Duan Meimei.
"Sister Meimei."
"Xiaogui!"
Xiaogui also wore men's clothes, and she turned over and entered the house.
"Why are you here?" Duan Meimei held her hand.
"You go out, can I not come?" Xiaogui said.
"I really want to wear this dress with you, and I want you to marry him too." Duan Meimei said.
"Shame, I just said not to marry my cousin." Tian Kokou said with a smile.
"You're Miss Coco, I'm Xia Xiaogui." Xiaogui hurriedly came over to greet him.
Coco looked Xiaogui up and down, and she was convinced.
"You're so good-looking, no wonder Sister Meimei loves you so much."
She had accumulated a lot of hostility towards Xiaogui before, but this time it was all gone.
"Quick!" Xiaogui took out a package, opened it, and took out a few boxes.
"This is the bright moon of the East China Sea."
Xiaogui opened the box, and the big pearls on the two earrings were round and soft.
"Oh my God, this ...... It's too expensive. ”
"When I marry him, it may not be the Year of the Monkey," Xiaogui's face couldn't help but be a little gloomy.
But immediately she regained her vitality: "Sister Meimei, you have to wear double the beauty." ”
Tian Kokou couldn't help but secretly admire, Xiaogui is really a hero.
"Necklace of the Great Emerald."
"You change your clothes too." Tian Kokou looked at Mercy and said, she took a set of her own auspicious clothes, and the one on Mercy was too plain.
"In a while, you will follow the sedan chair on foot and accompany your girl." Tian Kokou said.
"Yes." Mercy said.
"Don't try to get things done." Tian Kokou tapped again.
At this time, the sedan chair arrived outside the door, and the suona house sounded in the house, and the firecrackers also exploded at the door.
In ancient weddings, the groom did not go to the bride's house to pick up relatives, and today's so-called "Chinese wedding", the groom rode a horse to pick up relatives, all of which are new rules.
When we look at traditional opera, we can still see this trace.
In Mr. Cheng Yanqiu's famous work "Suolin Bag", the eldest lady Xue Xiangling and the poor girl Zhao Shouzhen met to take shelter from the rain outside the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, only the old servants of the family followed, because the groom official only waited for his daughter-in-law at home.
"It's enough for Miss Coco to accompany you, over there, I still have a task." Xiaogui hugged Duan Meimei tightly and went out of the window.
"Xiaogui is such an amazing girl," Kou couldn't help but yearn for her.
"I said you would like her," Duan Meimei said, "How about it, do you want to marry together?" ”
"Hmph, don't!" Tian Kokou said.
Pity helped Duan Meimei, who was covered with a red hijab, walked out of the door, walked through the courtyard, and sat in a sedan chair.
Coco prepared a horse outside the door, she turned over and got on the horse, it was very convenient to ride a horse in men's clothes, and a little more, Duan Meimei's good day, wearing women's clothes would steal the limelight of the main master, so she simply dressed up as a handsome little brother.
The team that picked up the relatives went all the way to the house of the mountain character hall.
In another courtyard on Xuanwu Street, a girl was howling falsely.
"Grandpa! My granddaughter can't bear you! ”
Sister Qiao hugged her grandfather's thigh, and it didn't rain when it thundered.
"The child is smashed, how can anyone follow his grandfather all his life, marry and listen to his husband." Xiong Shihai looked kind.
"Don't miss the auspicious time, bride." Xiaogui persuaded Sister Qiao beside him.
"Alright, let's go." Sister Qiao got up and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, hijab, hijab!" Xiaogui said.
"It's stuffy to cover." Sister Qiao shouted.
"Don't uncover it, follow the customs, the rule of Tokyo City is that if the bride peeks out, the in-laws don't want a daughter-in-law if they see it." Xiaogui instructed.
"Ahh All right. Sister Qiao hurriedly put down the hijab and feet.
As soon as the sedan chair came to the door, it was also suona and firecrackers, Sister Qiao got on the sedan chair, Xiaogui got on the horse, and followed the sedan chair together.
Two teams of greeting relatives came to the street corner and happened to meet.
Tian Kokou and Xiao Gui glanced at each other on the horse, and the two teams announced their separation.
Looking at the lively neighbors, they found that they took a sedan chair and went straight to the gate.
Take a sedan chair and go straight to the side door.
Xu Yong, dressed in the auspicious clothes of the groom's official, walked out of the main entrance, took out a bow, shot three arrows without arrows at the curtain of the sedan chair, and then opened the sedan curtain, helped out his bride, and the two walked in hand in hand.
In the hall, there are big red happy characters, tablets of heaven and earth.
Everyone was beaming.
Another bride also came in through the side door, and the master of ceremonies, Huo Yizun, began to sing.
This day can really be said to be full of friends, Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Pu, Zhao Guangmei, Zhang Yongde, Wang Pu, Fan Zhen, Wei Renpu, Shi Shouxin, Wang Xianqi...... The high-ranking officials in Beijing came, and Murong Yanzhao and Wang Quanbin, who were not in Beijing, also sent big hanging scrolls and cattle and sheep - Xu Yongzhi has many good popularity!
Among the guests, there was such an old man who sat down in the chief with a loud voice, and it was none other than Wang Pu's father, Lord Wang Zuo, who was the elder brother of everyone present, and had bowed to all the men.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the Zhao Guanjia and Wang Niangniang who are sitting in the "high hall" position, as soon as these two people came to the wedding scene, they were let here, since ancient times, monarchs and ministers are like father and son, eldest brother is like father, Xu Yongzhi's parents are gone, who do not worship Zhao Kuangyin?
"Worship heaven and earth!"
Xu Yongzhi and the two brides fell to the ground.
"Second worship high hall!"
Xu Yongzhi and the two brides bowed down at the feet of the official family and the queen.
"Husband and wife worship each other!"
With the support of the little maid, the two brides and a groom formed the shape of a Mercedes-Benz logo, and everyone bowed to each other.
It is said that at this time, they should be sent to the cave room to remove the hijab, but at this time, everyone is coaxing:
"Look at the bride! Look at the bride! ”
The early years of the Northern Song Dynasty were still an era full of reckless temperament, if it was the Southern Song Dynasty, with Cheng Zhu Lixue, this situation would not have happened.
If Old Man Wang Zuo and Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi coaxed, they could be ignored completely.
But in the end, even Zhao Guangyi was shouting loudly, obviously a little ill-intentioned.
Zhao Kuangyin saw the warm atmosphere, so he smiled:
"Yongzhi, let's take a look at the bride."
Xu Yongzhi looked at Li Sigui.
Li Sigui nodded, the official family has spoken, what else can be done?
Xu Yongzhi first lifted the hijab of the taller bride.
"Wow!"
Duan Meimei, the most beautiful woman today.
Then the hijab of the shorter bride was lifted.
"Oh!"
Sister Qiao saw the formation in front of her - it was none other than Duan Meimei.
It doesn't take long to go from blissful intoxication to angry eyes.
"Xu Yongzhi, you liar!"
Sister Qiao was about to have a seizure, and suddenly found that Xiaogui and her grandfather were standing in front of her.
Grandpa shook his head at her.
She suppressed her anger.
I think that there are still people who do justice for themselves.
The Emperor is here today, listen to what he has to say!
Before Zhao Kuangyin could speak, Zhao Guangyi was already in his seat.
"Commander, do you want to explain? Marrying a second wife and taking a concubine as a wife is illegal, and this king, as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, can't let anything that violates the laws of the Great Song Dynasty happen! ”
All the guests fell silent at once, and the air seemed to freeze.
Today's groom and official are afraid that they will lose their official positions at the slightest and be sentenced to prison at the worst.
Lord Wang Pu secretly sweated for this disciple.
"This stupid boy, why is he so sincere!"
Of course, the most worried person at this moment is Duan Meimei.
"It's miserable, it's miserable, I'm too willful, I'm going to kill him!"
She secretly clenched her fists and quickly made a decision:
If Zhao Guangyi dared to arrest Xu Yongzhi, she would fight with Zhao Guangyi.
Li Sigui nodded.
