Chapter 258: Uncle Hirano!
When I returned to my room in the inner courtyard, it was already late at night.
Uncle Zheng sat at the desk for a while, and his mind couldn't help but echo the "showdown" between the regent and the five princes again.
Indeed, their duel is not as magnificent as the autumn soldiers on the battlefield, but it is a tacit understanding under common knowledge.
The situation of a country, to be solved in this way similar to the competition of rivers and lakes, seems to be child's play, but in fact it is really normal, Uncle Zheng traveled to Lishan in his last life, and also went to see the cave where Chang Kaishen hid.
With a long sigh of relief, putting aside all the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, Uncle Zheng stood up, walked to the basin, and washed his face with his hands.
Because he was very tired and bitter in the end of his previous life, in this life, Uncle Zheng has always wanted to make his life easier under the premise that conditions permit.
After washing his face, Zheng Fan walked to the threshold and sat down.
In the sky, a bright moon hangs high, and the moonlight shines on the courtyard, creating a very quiet atmosphere.
Close your eyes,
Take a deep breath,
Stretched out his arms again, stretched his waist,
I fantasize that I am absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.
Long
Zheng Fan opened his eyes.
Ming'er is a big wedding.
He stood up and walked to the princess's bedchamber.
Outside the dormitory, Gonggong Zhao stood outside dutifully.
Seeing Uncle Zheng coming, Grandpa Zhao immediately showed a flattering smile on his face;
Zheng Fan knew that he could actually be very subtle, this young man who had been at the bottom of the folk had a sense of philistine and sense of proportion that ordinary father-in-law did not have, but he still lowered his posture as much as possible, in front of Zheng Fan, he was like a dog that exposed his belly to you.
Dogs, in general, only show their most vulnerable belly to the object of their trust and submission.
Gonggong Zhao didn't make a report, and he didn't even say hello to Uncle Zheng, but silently bowed his body and took a few steps back, letting the way go.
But Zheng Fan stopped.
"Zhao Cheng."
"The minions are here."
Long silence,
Uncle Zheng didn't speak, and Zhao Cheng didn't dare to speak.
ultimately
Uncle Zheng stretched out his hand and put it on Zhao Cheng's shoulder.
Zhao Cheng's body trembled slightly;
Uncle Zheng patted Zhao Cheng's shoulder and said:
"Good evening."
"Good evening, master."
It is precisely because Zhao Cheng is a smart person that Uncle Zheng doesn't need to say too much, for Zhao Cheng, he only has the power to go with the flow, but he has no qualifications to go to the table.
This kind of minion is actually not suitable for being used as a servant by the side, and it may be more suitable in other aspects.
But for now, with Zhao Cheng here, it is indeed very convenient.
Uncle Zheng pushed open the door of the dormitory and walked in.
As soon as he stepped in, a python's head fell from the beam of the house and hung directly in front of Zheng Fan.
Uncle Zheng's face was only about two decimeters away from the snake's head, and the letter spit out by the green python could even hit Uncle Zheng's face slightly.
From the eyes of this green python, Uncle Zheng saw the disdainful emotion, and its posture was very high.
It's just that under the control of the princess, it can't choose to devour itself directly.
Uncle Zheng felt that it might be because the aura on his body was too covered by the magic pill, which was why this beast was so presumptuous in front of him.
However, Uncle Zheng is not angry with this beast at this time, thinking that when Pixiu first came, he was also invincible, and in the end, he was also trained by the demon kings to become a quail?
The fate of this green python will not make any difference.
Uncle Zheng bent down and walked around the side of the green python.
The princess was sitting on the bed, and she should have been lying down before, when she heard the sound of the door of the palace opening.
She wears no shoes, her lower body is a skirt, and her casual clothes look casual, but with a sense of light charm.
"I'm not afraid of catching a cold."
Uncle Zheng walked up to the princess and sat down.
The princess took the initiative to lean over and hugged Uncle Zheng's shoulder.
The two of them sat in this position for a long time.
finally
Uncle Zheng felt that his shoulders were a little numb,
Opening:
"Why don't you speak?"
The princess said, "I don't know what to say." ”
"Before you get through the door, don't you have anything to say?"
"No, it's just because what can I say now, what kind of life will I live after I and you go to Yan Kingdom? Isn't this negotiating terms with you?
Saying how complicated, hesitant, and entangled I am now, doesn't it make you think that I am not determined to follow you?
So, no matter what you say, it will disgust you, and it will eventually affect my son's name on the edict. ”
"Hehehe."
Uncle Zheng smiled,
He withdrew his hand and put his arms around the princess in a different position.
"Actually, I didn't think about it that much." The princess continued, "Master Yao once had a poem that compared people to mayflies in this life, maybe you have tried your best, but in fact, you still can't change the fate of going with the flow.
Now, for me, Qu Peiluo, I really can't get married, follow you, eat meat or bran, it's my choice.
By the way, where did you go with my imperial brother during the day? ”
Zheng Fan talked about the day's events and didn't hide anything.
Because letting the princess know that her brother came to see her was just by the way, but it was more beneficial to Uncle Zheng.
subsequently
Zheng Fan also briefly told the princess about some of tomorrow's arrangements.
The sky is actually not bright yet, and according to the standards of later generations, it is only one o'clock in the morning.
But Zhao Gonggong had already walked to the door of the dormitory and reported:
"Your Highness, the hour is coming."
Outside the inner courtyard, there were already dozens of makeup girls and women with orders waiting at this time.
The princess got married, and she was married to the concubine of the Qu family, in this realm, it was naturally unprecedented, and the preparations before the marriage really had to start long in advance.
The silence of the inner courtyard before was nothing more than the princess's own meaning, she wanted to be quiet, because the princess had disappeared before and needed to calm down, so both the Qu family and the people in the palace agreed.
After that, Zheng Fan came, and after that, the regent also came, and the quietness of the inner courtyard naturally had to be maintained.
But now, it's impossible to continue like this.
"It's about to begin." Zheng Fan said.
The princess grabbed Zheng Fan's sleeve.
The decision has already been made, but when it comes to the end, it is still difficult to completely calm down.
She, after all, is just a girl.
But on the contrary, the man in front of her, in some ways, is very self-ego, very macho, to be precise, very sensitive, she can't talk to her.
However, despite this, she couldn't complain about this man, let alone hate it, and even looked forward to her future life, because she knew that with him, her future life would at least not be boring and boring.
Until Uncle Zheng walked out of the dormitory,
The princess didn't ask: Aren't you afraid that I will regret it?
Uncle Zheng didn't say: Don't go back.
The princess knows that there is no point in asking this kind of question, if you want to regret it, you don't need to ask, if you don't regret asking, why do you ask?
Uncle Zheng has always been very clear about a truth,
If you want to pretend to be any kind of force, you have to be prepared to take a lot of risks.
He also wants to live a step-by-step life, farming and raising soldiers, and then farming and raising more soldiers, but first, reality does not allow you to keep a low profile, and second, you will feel too dull.
Man,
That's it
I've been stirring for a long time and want to be comfortable,
After being comfortable for a long time, my heart itched again.
Walking out of the dormitory and walking back to his room, Zheng Fan found Chen Daxia sitting at his desk.
Chen Daxia raised his head, looked at Zheng Fan, and said:
"Today, it's going to be lively."
"Hmm."
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations on what?"
Chen Daxia said very naturally: "The newlywed is happy." ”
"Is this okay?"
"Isn't that so?"
"Looks like that's true, oh, by the way, the silver guard girl last time."
Last time, when I was looking for the treasure house of the Helian family, there was also a silver armor girl who accompanied Yao Shi in addition to Chen Daxia.
Zheng Fan remembered that Master Yao seemed to be deliberately trying to match them.
The silver armor guard of Qianguo already has a tradition of giving wives, and besides, Yao Zizhan's face must be good.
Who knew that Chen Daxia just shook his head and said, "She asked me to enter the Silver Armor Guard, I don't want to go." Later, Yao Shi asked me what I meant, and after I found out, the matter was stopped. ”
"There is no grass at the end of the world, it's fine." Uncle Zheng comforted.
Chen Daxia said: "I want to pin my life on this sword, hoping that one day, I can be comparable to the Sword Master."
Sword Saint Snow Customs before a sword slashed a thousand horses, I hope I can come to this play in the future, Yao Shi said that life is like a play, I think that if I can have this scene, this life, it will be worth it. ”
"Look at the opposite number when you block it, don't run into me."
Chen Daxia looked at Zheng Fan and said, "If it is in the dry land, even if I meet you, I will not retreat." ”
"I'll quit."
Chen Daxia's mouth opened, and he was speechless for a while.
Uncle Zheng leaned against the desk, took out a piece of mint candy from the iron box and threw it into his mouth, chewing slowly.
"Are you lying to me?" Chen Daxia asked.
Uncle Zheng smiled.
Chen Daxia said again: "Even if it is to lie to me, I am still very moved." ”
"I'm not lying to you, Lao Chen, I treat you as a true friend, if there is really that day, if you see Yan Jun opposite, it will be my number.
You take your sword, go out of the city, and come to my army to find me, you, dare, right? ”
Chen Daxia nodded and said, "Dare." ”
"We can discuss it, if the conditions allow, if the city is not necessarily taken, I will bypass, if it is a city that must be taken, I can promise you that the soldiers under your command will not cause murder, or, get out of the way, so that the people in the city can leave safely.
If
I said if,
If it's the kind of place where you have to die, you won't retreat, we can also make two dishes and a pot of wine first, eat and drink well, and then send them on the road the next day. ”
"Okay." Chen Daxia agreed.
"Also, there's one more thing that I think I should tell you, you just said that you were targeting the Juggernaut?"
"Yes."
"But the sword saint now has his wife and children, and he has a hot kang head."
"........." Chen Daxia.
…
It's not dawn yet.
Three gongs and drums suddenly sounded, and all the red lanterns were hung at this time.
The door of the inner courtyard was opened, and a group of makeup girls and edicts walked into the inner courtyard in a neat queue.
Makeup girls hold all kinds of makeup products in their hands, in fact, there are not many that can be used, but there must be no gaps, all kinds, must be complete.
The edicts held teacups, mats, chopsticks, jade pendants and other utensils.
These edicts are all made by the husband who is alive and has given birth to a son, and he is considered a blessed person, so that the person with the son can be selected to help the princess put on makeup.
They were accompanied by two columns of armor dressed in red.
One column is the imperial forbidden army, and the other column is the Qingluan army.
What they hold in their hands is not a bladed weapon, but a melon hammer, a golden sail and other dependent objects, highlighting the solemnity of the royal family and the Qu family.
A red carpet was laid out from the entrance of the inner courtyard, and at the same time, a group of servants placed benches on the red carpet at a certain distance.
The door of the dormitory was pushed open, and the make-up lady and the edicts rushed in, while the princess, dressed in a white undershirt, sat upright on the edge of the bed.
"See Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"See Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
The princess's gaze slowly swept over the group of women in front of her.
At last
Raise your hand,
Road:
"Get up."
…
Uncle Zheng was still in the inner courtyard and did not leave.
The people of the Qu family would not come to signal him to leave, because they knew that he was the one brought by the regent.
Moreover, having a senior apprentice of Master Yao here to observe the entire wedding is also a thing that can bring glory to the faces of the Qu family.
Although, the light may be a bit green.
In the midst of a burst of orderly busyness,
sky
lit up.
Here, the princess began to dress up in the early morning, and over there, the Qu family team that greeted the relatives also set off before dawn.
Qu Peiluo rode a rhinoceros-like existence, which should be a demon beast, with red silk on the horns, and his person was also dressed in a festive groom's outfit.
I have to say that Qu Peiluo's face is really good, and today, there is really a kind of meaning that the master is like a jade and a son.
Qu Peiluo's side, there were one hundred and eight white horse riders following, surrounding him.
Chu Di is also short of horses, why the Qingluan army was trapped and killed in Yupan City at the beginning, it is also because this is an army dominated by foot soldiers, once they lose the support of the external savage cavalry, in the face of the encirclement of the Yan cavalry corps, they are simply helpless.
Therefore, it is indeed not easy to put together these one hundred and eight white horses with high-quality coats, because there is nothing variegated on these white horses, Qu Shi, should have been preparing for a long time.
But it all looks like it's really worth it, and visually, it's really amazing.
But now, it's not time for the groom to be admitted to the hospital.
The eunuch took out the decree and began to read it;
In fact, this decree has already arrived, and even if the regent does not come, the decree will be read at this time.
In the will, he first affirmed the outstanding contributions made by Qu as a lineage of the Great Chu Pillar State to the Great Chu, and then looked forward to the future.
"Master Pony, take the order."
"Minister, Qu Peiluo, take the order!"
After Qu Peiluo received the order, the white horses beside him let out a low shout.
Followed by
The loud and long trumpet sounded,
A large number of musicians began to play Chu Yun.
Among the four great powers, the one that best preserved the customs of Bactria was not the Qianguo established on the original traditional territory of Bactria but the Chu state.
Chu people are good and romantic, the pursuit of freedom and freedom, every spring and summer, often can see Chu men and women running barefoot by the river, as a hero.
However, in terms of cultural customs, the Chu people are extremely retro, and it is not blasphemous to respect ancient rites.
Two seemingly extremely opposing elements, but they appeared in great harmony in the Chu people, coexisting and symbiotic.
The music is very good, and there is a sense of vicissitudes in the majestic atmosphere.
Uncle Zheng held a charcoal pencil, pointed at the drawing board, closed his eyes, and for a while, he was immersed in the music.
It wasn't until the whip exploded outside that Zheng Fan was awakened and opened his eyes.
Chen Daxia stood beside Zheng Fan and said, "I feel that you are very intoxicated." ”
Zheng Fan nodded and said, "When I go back, I have to ask the blind man to organize a band." ”
In fact, the blind man has long had this idea, because he likes to play erhu on weekdays, so whenever he finishes his official duties, he likes to call a few people to play an ensemble together.
Every night when the soldiers are given ideological education classes, there will also be theatrical performances or something, and the blind man has already drummed up the "Song of the Plain Uncle's Breaking Formation".
"I don't know poetry, I don't know the rhythm, but I know that they are beautiful." Chen Daxia said.
"yes, yes."
"Pony Fukang!"
"Pony Fukang!"
Qu Peiluo came in, and in the inner courtyard, all the armor soldiers knelt down, and the servants and servants also knelt down to say goodbye.
Behind Qu Peiluo, followed by a group of Qu clan people carrying baskets, they began to give red seals, which was actually a change of mouth fee, and almost everyone who saw it had a share.
Uncle Zheng remembered that the last time Xiao Liuzi wrote a letter, he said that this wedding was the same as decorating the house.
If you want to be stylish, that's fine, but if you spend a lot of money, then the style can't be low.
Even Zheng Fan also received a red envelope.
It's just that Zheng Fan's red envelope was sent by Qu Peiluo himself.
Uncle Zheng stretched out his hand and took a small box, inside, it was very heavy, and if it was silver, it was a little shabby, so it should be a gold ingot.
Funny, isn't it?
Qu Peiluo actually gave himself gold.
But Uncle Zheng still accepted it, and at the same time congratulated:
"Horse Fukang."
"Thank you, Mr. Sue."
Qu Peiluo should still be thinking about "Su Mingzhe" writing a poem for his wedding, so he paid for the pen, but what he didn't know was that Uncle Zheng was also thinking about something.
The door of the dormitory, closed.
A group of eunuchs stood on both sides, with Gonggong Sun leading the way and Gonggong Zhao following behind Gonggong Sun.
Sun Gonggong is a eunuch from the palace, he has seen the world, and when he saw Qu Peiluo coming, he immediately shouted:
"Kneel!"
Qu Peiluo knelt down on one knee.
Grandpa Sun continued to chant, "Greetings." ”
Qu Peiluo responded: "Minister, please say hello to Princess Mingci, Princess Fukang is a thousand years old!" ”
Mingci is the title of the four princesses, which means that they are sensible and benevolent.
The boundary between kings and ministers is the biggest gap.
Grandpa Sun is called a support field, even if it is a colt, before marrying the princess, he is still a courtier of the heavenly family, so he has to kneel and say hello.
It is impossible for a heavenly family to get married, and it is impossible to have such folk customs as a hole house or blocking the door, but what Grandpa Sun is doing now is actually the same as what many fathers-in-law do when they send their daughters to get married, in order to beat their son-in-law.
Grandpa Sun turned his head and looked at Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng immediately turned around, ran to the door of the dormitory, and reported: "Your Highness, General Huwei has arrived." ”
"Click..............."
The door of the dormitory was slowly opened.
The princess Xiong Liqing, dressed in full costume, walked out slowly accompanied by the support of people on the left and right.
There is no red hijab, she wears a phoenix crown, a beaded curtain, and her beautiful eyes are swept down, and the majesty of the heavenly family pours out.
Call......
Uncle Zheng exhaled softly,
People rely on clothes and horses and saddles, and it is true,
Today's princess's outfit,
Not only did the kneeling prospective horses below be stunned,
Even Uncle Zheng, a real colt, was amazed.
When it comes to beauties, some people like tofu Shih Tzu, and some people like lotus picking girls in the lotus pond, it is true that this kind of beauty out of the mud can indeed make people yearn for it, but they come from the folk, even if they are naturally beautiful, they can't support this kind of dress, and if they are forced to wear it, it will look a little nondescript.
Xiong Liqing is the real princess of Chu, the blood of the heavenly family, since she was a child, she has been regarded as a treasure by the Chu Emperor, and after the death of the Chu Emperor, her brother and the regent did not let her suffer a little grievance.
She will always be the noble one.
At this time, Uncle Zheng really realized that the princess does not only refer to a name, but also to her whole person.
When I go back, I will have to make a few more sets of clothes.
After Gonggong Sun saluted the princess, he turned around and looked at Qu Peiluo, who was still kneeling there.
Grandpa Sun raised his voice and shouted:
"A bowl, go to the disease and get rid of the pain!"
This is the custom of the Chu people, because the children of the Chu State often needed to obey the call of the monarch and follow the emperor into Daze to fight with the Shanyue people and fight for territory.
The ancestors of the Chu people believed that mugwort wine could drive away evil spirits and bless the body from being invaded by miasma.
Qu Peiluo, who was kneeling on the ground, took the wine bowl and drank it all.
"A bowl, come to Fulaikang."
Zhao Gonggong sent a second bowl of wine, soaked in red dates, meaning good health.
Qu Peiluo drank it all again.
"A bowl, reluctant to leave!"
Zhao Gonggong sent the third bowl of wine, in this wine, soaked in a stone wrapped in hair, when the ancestors of the Chu people went on the expedition, their wives would cut off a strand of their hair and tie it to the stone for their husbands to carry with them, and the Chu people who believed in witch culture believed that if people died in battle, they could rely on the mourning soul of this strand of hair to return to their hometown.
Qu Peiluo drank it without hesitation.
After three bowls of wine, after a process, Grandpa Sun shouted:
"Qu Shizi, open your eyes and take a good look, who are you going to marry!"
Qu Peiluo knelt up straight, looked at the princess standing in front of him, and said:
"Your Highness the Princess."
"The princess is married, Qu's son, how should I deal with it?"
Saying,
Zhao Gonggong took out a statue of the witch god and put it in front of Qu Peiluo, this is to make Qu Peiluo swear, this statue is not big, and Zhao Gonggong will not have to work hard when carrying it.
"From the respect of the protection, what I wish in this life, I only hope for a white head!"
Grandpa Sun nodded, his face was still grim, he turned around and faced the princess,
Road:
"Please show your Highness, inside the threshold, it is the royal family, and outside the threshold, it is the Qu family."
It's up to the princess to choose.
This is the etiquette process of receiving relatives, in fact, it is at this time, whether to marry or not, in fact, it has already been arranged, after all, it is impossible for the heavenly family to marry a girl who gets on or off the sedan chair temporarily plus the sedan chair money or temporarily adds a bride price.
Uncle Zheng watched the whole process with relish, Uncle Zheng didn't catch up with the wedding of Xiao Liuzi, so he didn't see it, this time, it was the first time he participated in the wedding of this world.
I have the feeling of watching a local folk performance when I traveled in my last life.
However, if you want to see it in your previous life, you have to give money, but in this life, you can receive a box of gold ingots.
This way of asking back and forth does not make people feel cumbersome, after all, even if it is a Western wedding in the future, don't you have to ask more than one move: are you willing to leave regardless of poverty, illness, and difficulty?
Wedding, in fact, is a sense of ceremony, if you are like the barbarians, you will rush in with a group of people and snatch the woman back and go to the kang, how boring and boring it is.
Well
Wait a minute
Uncle Zheng frowned slightly,
How do you feel like you're scolding yourself?
The princess lifted her foot and stepped over the threshold of the bedchamber.
Grandpa Sun's face immediately showed a flattering smile, and he hurriedly ran down, took the initiative to help Qu Peiluo up, and said:
"The horse is auspicious."
Qu Peiluo immediately took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Grandpa Sun while standing up, and the smile on Grandpa Sun's face became even brighter.
The princess stepped out of the door, and next, immediately supported by a group of ladies of the Command, just like when Qu Peiluo led a group of white horses to come over, the princess would also be surrounded and went out.
At this time, Qu Peiluo couldn't walk in front, but still had to follow.
This is the rule, who told you to marry a heavenly girl?
The princess had already left the inner courtyard, and Uncle Zheng had also packed up her drawing board at this time, ready to keep up.
When Qu Peiluo saw Uncle Zheng coming over with a drawing board, he leaned over with some curiosity and found that what Uncle Zheng drew on the drawing board was actually himself, but it was not drawn with a brush, but it was extremely realistic.
"Mr. Su's method of painting came from the West?"
As the sister-in-law of the Qu family, this insight will naturally not be bad.
Uncle Zheng nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"It's really good."
"Please also allow me to accompany the horse, Su plans to draw a few more, and finally make a picture of the horse's wedding."
"Thank you, Mr. Sue."
Qu Peiluo would not be willing to do so, so he hurriedly signaled the people around him to help with the drawing board and arranged for Zheng Fan to follow the team.
After the princess walked out of the inner courtyard,
On the ground in rows, kneeling were the various families in the Qu fiefdom, and they all sent representatives to congratulate the main family on this big wedding.
Even, even Nian Yao's mansion sent people to celebrate, the originally extremely wide outer courtyard was crowded with people in the dark, and every time the princess walked, people on both sides knelt down, and Gonggong Sun began to report to their door.
Moreover, not all families are eligible to apply for the family, even if it is the Fan family, who has contributed a lot to this wedding, when it comes to the final registration, it is the Fan family, the Tian family, etc.
The princess stepped on a bench under which was a red carpet and walked condescendingly past the kneeling men.
The hierarchy of Da Chu is strict, and it can be clearly felt here, in comparison, the atmosphere in Yan Country is more open, and it pays more attention to a "fun with the people", regardless of whether they agree with it in their hearts or not, but on the surface, everyone is still willing to do this.
Uncle Zheng followed behind, adding a few strokes to the drawing board from time to time, but his eyes were mostly looking at the princess's back.
Everyone has such a character, that is, the food that is scrambling for it, it will feel more fragrant when it tastes, and in the atmosphere of this big wedding, Uncle Zheng suddenly felt that his mentality had also undergone some changes.
This is not a moral flaw, it can only be said that human nature is like this, Uncle Zheng knows that he is not exempt from vulgarity, and he has never thought of being a saint in the past.
One thing Uncle Zheng feels very fortunate is that the princess's shoes are not the bottom of the flower pot, so when she walks on the bench, she is still very stable.
Keep going,
Out of the courtyard, in fact, did not leave the royal annex, because the scope of the annex is very large, it can only be regarded as walking out of the housing area.
A huge, festively decorated carriage stopped there.
The bench on the last section of the road was carved from gold, silver and jade, and Uncle Zheng didn't notice it at first, but after noticing, he deliberately went back and counted how many there were.
I thought in my heart that if I didn't rob the princess, I would steal these benches back, and I would be able to raise a lot of soldiers and horses with this.
Father-in-law Zhao walked to the front, hunched his waist, raised his hand, let the princess put his hand on the back of his hand, and helped him down from the last silver bench, and finally, the princess slowly walked into the carriage.
The carriage was large, in fact, it was more like the platform used by the emperor when he went out on patrol, with a wide front and a house-like structure in the back.
In the state of Chu, ordinary people, even nobles, are not allowed to create this kind of travel platform, but the princess is an exception, she can use this regulation.
The princess stood there, supported by two maidservants.
Sun Gonggong and Zhao Cheng led a dozen eunuchs into the back to check the layout, and at the same time they also needed to add new things, this is the princess's wedding platform, the interior and contents must be prepared now, it can not be advanced, otherwise it will seem that the princess hates to marry, and loses the royal dignity.
Previously, in it, it was the families in the Qu fiefdom who kowtowed to congratulate, and here, the princess will accept those sent by the big nobles and the big families of the court to congratulate.
The reason why the people sent by Nian Yao's family are also in it is because even if Nian Yao is now a general, he is from the house slave of the Regent's Qiandi, so he is actually still the house slave of the Regent, and the people sent by his family naturally have to kneel inside.
Right now
The princess stood at the front of the platform,
The people sent by each family to congratulate come to sing the salute are basically the younger generations of the family as representatives;
The princess would respond by shouting "Hello to uncle and uncle" with a slight blessing.
The process is very long, but there can be no slackness, this is the etiquette;
At the same time, this is a political marriage, and its process is the essence of this marriage, how can it be omitted?
In fact, when the Chu people get married, it is generally the man's relatives and friends waiting at the man's house, and the woman's relatives and friends waiting at the woman's house to pick up the relatives.
But here in the Qu family, not only the families in the Qu family's fiefdom, but also other representatives of the great nobles who are good friends with the Qu family, or the dignitaries and dignitaries who are officials in the same dynasty as the Qu family, all gather here in the royal palace.
This is also a matter of course, who dares to sing against the royal family? must have come here to help the princess press the field, even Qu himself didn't dare to think of anything else.
Over there
The princess stood on the platform and received one representative after another.
This way
According to the custom, Qu needs to arrange for the "civil, martial and Wugui" to enter the line first to press the car, and in the folk, it is called the sedan chair.
Of course, it's not the kind of thing that makes you go in and walk with the platform, but you go through the motions, go in and have a cup of tea, and then come out.
Because in the customs of the Chu people, on the day of the big day, it is easy to crash, especially the wedding sedan chair, those lonely souls and wild ghosts are the most unhappy in the world, and they can't help but come over to retaliate when they see the wedding sedan chair, so they need to be suppressed by the breath of "civil, martial and witchy".
Folk words, civil and military, Wen may be the local literacy of more people, martial arts, can not find the head of the soldiers, pig killers can also be replaced, witches, basically every village in Chu has a wizard, every year and festivals will preside over the sacrifice usually also help to see a doctor, if it is expensive, it is the most valuable person in the village, and it can also be the person with the best blessing.
After Gonggong Sun and Zhao Cheng led a group of eunuchs to arrange in the big attic of Xingtai, Gonggong Sun came out, waved the dust, and did not shout, but just beckoned people to come up and press the car.
The reason for not shouting is that this kind of thing of suppressing the little devil is inconvenient to shout, and it is easy to bump into bad luck, and secondly, the princess is still receiving waves of congratulations from representatives of the big nobles.
At the same time, at the signal of Grandpa Sun, the pressing process began, and the first to come was a group of wizards wearing black robes with oil paint on their faces and holding long sails.
There were about 200 people, and they surrounded the platform and began the prayer service.
This kind of costume actually comes from the absorption of the Shanyue sacrificial culture after the Chu people entered the Chu land, of course, it will not jump and make trouble, the prayer wizard is just holding a long sail and moving very slowly, which is to warn the evil spirits on the road not to invade here, and at the same time, it is also to send blessings to the newcomers.
The first to go up was an old Wu Zheng, this Wu Zheng had actually retired and had served in Yingdu, but he was the kind of person who presided over the sacrifice, if the huge profession of Wu Zheng was subdivided, he was a civilian.
The old witch was on crutches, supported by the two Qu family members, and went up from behind on the platform, and walked in under the guidance of Sun Gonggong.
After half a moment, he came out trembling again, and got off the platform with the answer of the people below.
At this time, Qu Yinglun, one of Qu Peiluo's uncles and also a titled general, walked up to Uncle Zheng and whispered to Uncle Zheng:
"Mr. Su, can you ask Mr. Su to help press the car later?"
"Let the juniors press the car?"
"Yes, I don't know if Mr. Su is convenient."
"Yes." Uncle Zheng readily agreed, but Uncle Zheng still pointed to the drawing board in front of him and said, "Let me do it later, it's still a little close." ”
Qu Yinglun looked at the drawing board, and in the drawing board was the image of the princess standing on the platform at this time, which was vivid.
"Of course you can, thank you Mr. Su for your face, I'm grateful."
For the Qu family, in terms of "literature", there is really no one more suitable than Su Mingzhe, a senior disciple of Master Yao, and the Qu people also know that even the regent admires Su Mingzhe's talent, so naturally, the candidate who was originally going to press the car on the "text" was passed.
And for Uncle Zheng, this is really a sleepy pillow for you, because he was about to get in the car, and now, he doesn't even have to find an excuse, and he can be more calm.
Therefore, not only Qu Peiluo is a good person, but the whole Qu family is a good person.
Gui, is a centenarian who went up, she is the ancestor of the Tian family, longevity is one point, and another point is that she gave birth to fourteen sons in her life, and all of them lived to adulthood, none of them died.
There is another reason why Qu chose her, because you can't choose someone who is more noble than the princess in terms of status and status to help press the car, so you simply choose another route.
There are more noble than princesses, such as the regent, such as the concubine or the queen mother in the palace of Yingdu, but the question is can you invite it?
It's the regent, and the people of the Qu family haven't seen him appear today, in fact, many of the big nobles guessed that the regent should have been here after seeing the royal forbidden army appear here, although they didn't see the regent himself, but no one dared to ask.
What's the matter, come to ask the regent about his whereabouts, is he trying to assassinate the king?
In fact, Uncle Zheng felt that the old ancestor of the Fan family was the most suitable and expensive, but according to the character of the old ancestor of the Fan family, he would definitely not dare to appear here today.
The hundred-year-old woman came down, walking tremblingly, this toss and formal makeup, probably took a lot of energy, but the Qu family has a life, and the Tian family will definitely not dare to disobey.
Wu once followed the prince of the Qu family, that is, a veteran general who Qu Tiannan's father had fought on the battlefield, but he was also old and did not lead troops anymore, but after all, he was the one with the most experience in the war in the Qu family, so he went up.
When he comes down,
Qu Yinglun came to Zheng Fan's side again.
Uncle Zheng added the last stroke, bowed to Qu Yinglun, and then waved his sleeves and walked onto the stage.
When he went up, Uncle Zheng also deliberately glanced at Her Royal Highness the princess who was standing in front of the platform and still receiving congratulations.
What I thought was:
Well, this dress looks really good on the front; But when you look at it from the back, it's really too much to hide your figure.
"Mr. Su, please."
Grandpa Sun took the initiative to pull open the curtain and motioned for Uncle Zheng to go in.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Uncle Zheng walked in.
The space inside is very large, and this kind of regulated platform, in peacetime, the emperor can sit on it to inspect the world, and in wartime, he can put a map or sand table here and plan with the generals.
"Xiao Chengzi, serve tea to Mr. Su."
"Yes."
Zhao Cheng walked over with a cup of tea and handed it to Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan took the teacup, walked directly to the couch in the center, and sat down.
Seeing this, Grandpa Sun frowned slightly.
The rest of the people came up to press the car, just to drink tea, and then walk around in it, the meaning was fine, but this Mr. Su from Qianguo, why did he really sit down and taste tea?
Moreover, Grandpa Sun felt that Mr. Su's sitting posture gave him a very discordant feeling.
It is true that the Chu people are romantic, but the nobles of the Chu State also pay the most attention to etiquette, eating, sitting, walking and sleeping, in fact, they are all particular;
And the gentleman of Qianguo, in the cognition of Sun Gonggong, should pay more attention to this kind of etiquette.
But the Mr. Su sitting there in front of him made him feel uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.
Because
Uncle Zheng is not very restrained and sits very formally,
Instead, holding tea,
The big horse sat there with a golden sword.
What Mr. Sue,
What Master Yao's son,
Right now
It's time to wave goodbye.
Uncle Zheng scraped the tea leaves on the noodles with the lid of the cup, blew lightly, and took a sip.
Grandpa Sun didn't say anything at first,
But after waiting a while,
Seeing that Mr. Su didn't mean to get up when he finished drinking the tea, and outside, the princess's reception was over, and she was about to start preparing to read the Queen Mother's decree, but Mr. Su didn't come down yet.
This will delay the hour!
Grandpa Sun immediately took a few steps closer to Uncle Zheng's side, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Su, this should be ........."
Zheng Fan raised his head slightly,
looked at Grandpa Sun.
At the same time, the magic pill also unlocked the shield on Uncle Zheng's aura at this time.
Grandpa Sun immediately kicked in his heart, and his figure subconsciously retreated a few steps, straight mother thief, what the hell is going on, these eyes looked at him, and he was so frightened that he panicked!
Tell the truth,
Eunuchs are eunuchs after all, and court life has given them a lot of survival wisdom, but they have always been kept in captivity, how can they compete with the battlefield in terms of momentum?
"Godfather, what's wrong with Godfather."
Zhao Cheng immediately stepped forward and hugged his father-in-law.
Grandpa Sun finally stood firm, looked at Uncle Zheng with some suspicion, and said, "Mr. Su, Mr. Su, the time is coming, please .........."
"Yes, godfather, the hour is coming."
"Poof!"
Grandpa Sun's body trembled suddenly, and he looked down in disbelief, and found that there was a dagger that had pierced his heart, and the hand holding the dagger belonged to his newly adopted godson.
"For ...... Why is it ...... For......... Why ........."
Grandpa Sun really can't figure it out,
Why, at this time, why in this place, why did his godson, kill himself?
Why!!!
Zhao Cheng put his mouth to Grandpa Sun's ear and whispered:
"Godfather, son, thank you godfather for teaching his son these days, his son will be used for a lifetime, and at the same time, his son has always remembered his godfather's teachings, for example, godfather said that the most important thing in the palace is to follow the master.
Godfather, be happy for your son, my son has chosen a very powerful master. ”
"You ........."
Sun Gonggong grabbed Zhao Cheng's wrist.
Zhao Cheng took a deep breath, he actually respected this old man very much, and he never thought that he would stab him with a knife so early.
But he didn't have a choice, he stabbed himself for his life, and now, too, for the sake of survival, he continues to stab out.
The moment when Grandpa Sun was stabbed,
Among the more than ten eunuchs inside, half of them suddenly pulled out daggers and stabbed their companions to death, and for a while, the smell of blood began to permeate the inside of the stage.
But because there was incense burning inside, it was suppressed again after a while.
Uncle Zheng poured the teacup and poured the remaining tea into an incense burner in front of him.
Said slowly:
"I told her that I don't like the smell of smoke."
forthwith
Uncle Zheng put down the teacup,
Arms outstretched,
Road:
"Armor for Bember!"
……
"Why hasn't Mr. Su come down yet?" Qu Yinglun stood beside his eldest nephew and muttered to himself.
Qu Peiluo was not in a hurry, but explained: "I can't say that poetry has risen, and poetry is written in it, and the literati of Qianguo are like this." ”
Qu Yinglun heard this and nodded.
Then
The princess raised a holy decree in her hand,
"The Queen Mother's decree!"
Before going out, the will of the regent is read, which is the article and process of the official face;
At present, before the departure of the stage, what is to be read out is the queen mother's decree, and the parents who are inconvenient to say in the holy decree can be put in the edict to say, because theoretically, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so the queen mother's decree is generally not allowed to go out of the palace, and can only be announced to the people in the harem.
Here, it's a bit like a mother-in-law's advice to her son-in-law.
But the mother-in-law is noble,
After all, it's true that the regent didn't ascend the throne,
But the position of the Queen Mother has already been decided.
"Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
"Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
Around the platform, everyone knelt down together, ready to listen to the order.
The group of shamans continued to march slowly and continue to pray.
The queen mother's decree was read out by the princess herself, marking that the mother-in-law was supporting her daughter.
"Fengtian carries the Empress Dowager's decree: Since the palace followed the first emperor, it gave birth to ............ for the first emperor"
At this time, everyone knelt down and listened to the reading of Yi's decree, the queen mother's approximate meaning is that she gave birth to a son and a daughter in her life, this daughter is the pearl of her and the first emperor, very precious, the implication is that the husband's family is not allowed to bully my baby girl;
According to the process, after the Queen Mother's decree is read, she will let the concubine go to receive the decree, which is the last process of receiving relatives, which is equivalent to taking over the daughter from the mother-in-law.
And then
The pick-up team can go to the husband's house.
And according to the etiquette process discussed by the palace stewards and eunuchs and the people of the Ministry of Rites and the Qu family in advance, the horses must also go up to the stage after receiving the order.
It's just that the princess will sit in the stage, and the horse has to stand in front, which is the position where the princess is now proclaiming, which means opening the way for the princess and sheltering the princess from the wind and rain in the days to come.
Qu Yinglun reminded: "Pei Luo, you can go up." ”
"Yes, uncle."
Qu Peiluo slowly stood up,
For he has already heard the last words:
"My son-in-law should treat my son well, and I wish to have a hundred years of good harmony, peace and prosperity......"
My son here refers to a daughter.
Below, it should be "Qu's sister-in-law, Qu Peiluo, received the order to thank you." ”
Qu Peiluo has already stood up and walked to the platform, although this is a political marriage, but he is indeed happy now.
Because although the princess is not a bewitching national color and fragrance, she is also dignified and generous, especially under today's dress, it gives people a sense of sacrosanctity.
It can be said that Qu Peiluo is very satisfied, really satisfied.
He wanted to control his emotions,
But after all, it was the first time he got married, and he married the princess who was now radiant and solemn, and the corners of his mouth were still rising uncontrollably.
Qu Peiluo even felt that in this life, having this day was actually worth it!
It's really worth it!
The princess read to the last sentence,
After a pause,
gaze
fell first on Qu Peiluo, who was walking towards the platform, and even stepped on the steps of the platform with one foot.
forthwith
The princess looked away,
Putting the decree together,
Loud Voice:
"Dayan Pingye Bo Zheng Fan takes the order!"
The smile on Qu Peiluo's face was still there, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, even if he was still far away from the princess, because he couldn't control the excitement and excitement in his heart.
And then
When he ascended the second staircase,
He reacted to what the last sentence shouted,
He was stunned,
He looked around a little dazedly.
"........." Qu Peiluo.
And a large number of representatives of princes and nobles kneeling below, as well as many local noble patriarchs, also raised their heads in shock from their kneeling postures at this time, and there was an uproar.
What's going on, is it mispronounced?
But what did the princess mispronounce,
Even if you mispronounce the name of the horse, everyone can understand it, but why did you read out what Dayan, what Pingye Bo, and what Zheng Fan were pronounced in front!
The most directly shocked were actually the Qu clansmen.
Because their original head of the family, Qu Tiannan of the Qu Pillar Kingdom, died under the knife of the Yan Kingdom.
Qu Peiluo looked at the princess, he couldn't believe his ears, he wanted to go to the princess and snatch the edict, it must be a fake edict!!
however
At this moment,
The curtain in the platform was lifted,
A man in bright armor slowly stepped out of it.
When walking in front of Qu Peiluo,
Uncle Zheng also turned his head slightly and glanced at Qu Peiluo.
"Su ...... Mr. Su, how are you, you ........."
Qu Peiluo's mind was now in chaos, and he really couldn't understand what was happening at this time.
"Protect Uncle!"
"Protect Uncle!"
meanwhile
The wizards who were praying around the platform tore off their black robes one after another, turned around and drew their long knives and crossbows from the grooves under the platform, and immediately formed a defensive formation to protect the platform behind them.
Uncle Zheng walked straight to the princess's side,
The princess turned around and watched Uncle Zheng walk step by step.
She took the initiative to step over and greet Uncle Zheng, like a docile cat, throwing herself into Uncle Zheng's arms, holding Uncle Zheng's waist with both hands.
This gesture forms an extremely sharp contrast.
Because before, she was still a royal princess, but now, she is like a well-behaved woman who is a bird.
Uncle Zheng put one hand around the princess,
The other hand is raised,
Waved to the nobles of Chu land who were surrounded by black oppression,
Admiring their expressions of shock, horror, absurdity, and disbelief.
On the attic of the line,
Raise two great flags,
simultaneously
It's the Great Swallow Black Dragon Banner,
simultaneously
It's Zheng Ziqi.
Uncle Zheng hugged the princess around his waist,
Road:
"Thank you for your face and come to Benber's wedding."
At this time, Qu Peiluo, who was almost crazy, pointed at Zheng Fan and shouted:
"Who are you and who are you!!!!!!"
Therefore, Qu Peiluo is a good person, a selfless person.
At this time, he actually played the role of a support.
Uncle Zheng suddenly felt a little guilty, he knew that Qu Peiluo was so on the road, how could he kill his father at the beginning.
however
didn't wait for Uncle Zheng to answer,
The other spoke first.
It can only be said that
Smart people are smart people, and the smart thing about smart people is that they know exactly what to do and when.
Just like Zhao Cheng's decision to stab Sun Gonggong to death,
Since you have chosen this path,
Then to look ahead and look back, then to the kindness of the woman, and then to hesitate,
In fact, it is the most stupid behavior, and it is also the biggest irresponsibility to oneself.
Therefore, everyone's fate is won by themselves, and when they get old, they will not regret it when they look back on the past, and they will even rejoice, rejoice in their courage back then;
The princess in Uncle Zheng's arms looked around,
He shouted in the voice of the previous chant:
"It's all for this palace,
The men of Hongu are:
Da Yanxue Customs Chief Soldier Hirano Bo Zheng Fan! ”
