Chapter 30: Ten Miles of White Makeup

Concubine Xian looked at King Duan and said, "Although the things that people send to the door are good things, if you don't want it, it's a trouble......

"You have suffered for a few years outside, and now it is not easy to transfer back, I just hope that you will have a kind person by your side to take care of your back house, have children, and arrange your food, clothing, and daily life properly......"

Duanwang also stretched out his hand and plucked the strings, the sound of the piano was sonorous, and he said: "Since people have sent good things to the door, how can they not accept them?" ”

"Besides, it's just a piano......"

Everyone wants good things, and as famous as Miss Rong Er's reputation, as many people want her.

Now, the British king, the six princes, and the horse prince have all ended.

In addition to those who are already in the field, there must be many people who are watching in the open and in the dark.

Everyone else is fine, but the emperor is now in his prime, who knows what the emperor thinks?

The concubine knew what the emperor thought.

The concubine couldn't sit still and wanted to lead him down, which just proved that the emperor was not completely indifferent to that Miss Rong Er......

Miss Rong Er is beautiful, has a lonely temperament, and is talented, which easily attracts the hearts of many men.

Those men, not including him.

He only cares about the little girl in his heart.

What he cares about is not only her appearance and talent, but also Miss Rong's calculations, skills, and goals......

Miss Rong Er is the so-called variable.

Use it or destroy it.

He had to go down.

Since the concubine personally took action, he pulled the concubine down as well......

King Duan said to Concubine Xian: "This piano is really good, my son likes it very much, I don't know if my mother is willing to cut her love?" ”

Concubine Xian looked at King Duan for a while before she spoke: "If you like it, take it, what do I have here that I can't give you......"

King Duan nodded, and said another matter: "This year's newly selected palace maid is about to arrive in Beijing, the sixth brother is already twelve years old, and he will leave the palace to open the mansion in two or three years. ”

Find a palace maid for the six princes......

Concubine Xian sighed with emotion: "The years are urging people, the little six are twelve years old......

She asked King Duan again: "The newly selected palace maid is about to arrive in Beijing?" ”

King Duan nodded and said, "It's been a few days." ”

……

On August 27 of the third year of Wucheng, except for the funeral, everything else is auspicious.

On this day, an unusual wedding ceremony was held in Kyoto City.

Secret marriage.

The eldest lady of the Rong family of the Taining Hou Mansion married into the Dingguo Mansion with white makeup.

The Northern Expedition was defeated, and the old grandfather of the Dingguo Mansion died in the northwest with his three sons and two grandsons, and then Miss Rong, who was engaged to the second son of the Shao family, donated 100,000 taels of gold and resolutely married into the Shao family to celebrate the festival.

These two things are hotly discussed in the city at the moment, so on the day of the wedding, many people in Kyoto rushed to the western inner city early, crowded on both sides of the street from the Dingguo Mansion to the Taining Marquis Mansion, waiting to watch the ceremony.

In the afternoon of this day, a girl led two columns of armor out of the Dingguo Mansion, the girl was dressed in men's clothes, dressed in linen and filial piety, she rode a white horse, and the first few armor lifted the white sedan chair, and the group walked towards the Taining Marquis Mansion.

This is to go to the kiss.

When the people from the Dingguo Mansion came to the front of the Hou Mansion in Taining, there were already eighteen stewards lined up in front of the Hou Mansion, all holding bowls of wine in their hands.

The folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when the groom and the official greet the relatives, they must drink all the barricade wine prepared by the Yue family, and the nobles and high-ranking officials pay attention to pomp and circumstance, often listing eighteen bowls, and the common people often do it simply, but at least there must be three bowls.

As for the size of the bowl, the variety of wine, and how full each bowl of wine is poured, it is up to each family to set their own rules, and the situation is different.

For example, today, because it was a young lady who greeted her deceased brother on behalf of her relatives, although there were 18 people stopped in front of the Rong Mansion, only a shallow layer of rice wine was poured into the bowl that everyone was holding.

Miss Shao turned over and dismounted in front of the Hou Mansion in Taining, took the wine bowls handed by the stewards of the Hou Mansion one by one, smashed the bowl to the ground after drinking, and then knelt on one knee in front of the Hou Mansion in her robe, and said loudly: "Shao Xize, the second son of the Shao family in the Dingguo Mansion, came to ask to marry Miss Rong of your mansion, and the son-in-law respectfully asked the Hou Ye and Mrs. to open the door." ”

After she said this, the soldiers and armor she led also knelt on one knee and said loudly: "I respectfully ask Lord Hou and Mrs. to open the door." ”

A woman's cry sounded inside the door of the Hou Mansion.

This is the second folk custom of the Great Zhou wedding ceremony, crying and marrying.

If it is a normal marriage, when the bride cries and bids farewell to her parents in the door, the bride's brothers will often come out of the side door and stop the groom official again through fighting and martial arts, etc., and the groom official will have to deal with his uncle and brother-in-law while looking for an opportunity to throw red envelopes into the door, and the little maid in the door will help open the door to increase the joy of the wedding ceremony.

But today is a secret marriage, and sadness is more important than joy, so there is no such link.

The bride in the door cried for a long time, and the door of the Hou Mansion finally opened slowly, and the people watching outside the door of the Hou Mansion had already squeezed the three layers inside and the three layers outside.

Everyone in the door is dressed in white, standing in the middle, covered with a white hijab is obviously the bride, Mrs. Hou tears rippled, reluctantly let go of the bride's hand, the bride knelt in front of her parents upright, crying: "My son goes home today, I pray that my parents are healthy and healthy, and the family and the door are prosperous." ”

After speaking, he respectfully kowtowed to them three times.

Rong Heng's eyes were slightly wet, and he said: "Since the son goes home, the husband's family respects the elders like parents, and he is loyal and observant......"

He waved his hand and choked up, "Go ahead......"

The two maids picked up the bride one by one and helped her into the white sedan chair.

A grandmother walked to the white sedan chair and stood still.

After that, the four sons and young ladies led two maids and a team of small servants carrying white boxes out of the gate of the Hou Mansion and stood behind the white sedan chair.

This is the wedding custom of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The two young sons who gave Miss Rong to marry today were both handsome, and the shorter one of the young ladies had a round face and clear eyes, and she looked pleasing and cute.

But none of them were as beautiful as the other high-profile bridal lady.

The girl of about twelve or thirteen years old wears a feather gauze dress, tied with only a white silk bun, the breeze blows, the feather coat flutters, the white silk flies, the girl with delicate facial features and a cold expression seems not to be a person in this red world, but a fairy who is fascinating.

Many onlookers looked at Rong Ying's eyes and couldn't hide their obsession and enthusiasm......

Rong Yu's heart is as calm as water.

She lived for two lifetimes before she was finally able to stand calmly beside Rong Ying.

Everyone has their own life, this time, she will no longer envy anyone, but she is willing to live a stable life, protect the people she cares about, and make up for the debts and regrets she once had.

If she didn't figure it out, she'd died in vain.

After the people who gave the wedding all stood still, Miss Shao solemnly bid farewell to Hou Ye Rong and Mrs. Hou, then turned over and got on the horse, waving to signal everyone to return with her.

Rong Yu looked at the young lady and followed the white sedan chair towards the Dingguo Mansion.

She thought that it would be Shao Beicheng who came to greet her deceased brother today, but she didn't expect it to be her.

The fourth lady of the Shao family, Shao Nanyan.

The second daughter of the head of the Dingguo Mansion, the only young lady of the grandchildren.

Shao Nanyan practiced martial arts with her brothers since childhood, especially among the nobles in Kyoto, after the defeat of the two northern expeditions, her father and brother were all killed, and she was never married, as a woman, sheltered the widow and nephew, and supported the Shao family.

Rong Yu looked at Shao Nanyan's back again, the girl on the white horse was heroic, and she didn't know what kind of fate she was going towards at this time.

Rong Yu looked at the white sedan chair again.

The eldest sister is gentle and considerate, this time with her in the back house of the Shao family and Shao Nanyan as her companion, Shao Nanyan will definitely live better than in the previous life.

Everyone stopped in front of the Dingguo Mansion, and Rong Yu looked up to see that there were already many people waiting in front of the Guogong Mansion.

Standing in the middle of the crowd was a spirited white-haired old lady, it was the old Duchess of the country, and beside the old lady Shao stood three middle-aged women and a young woman holding a baby, who thought to be the ladies of the third room of the Shao family and the young lady of the long house.

Shao Beicheng also stood with them.

The British royal couple and the eldest grandson of the emperor, King Duan, King Chen and his wife, the six princes, and Princess Zhaohuai all came, and the clan relatives, the British government and other nobles, as well as the elders and other ministers of the court.

Shao Nanyan turned over and dismounted, walked to the white sedan chair, raised his leg and gently kicked the sedan door.

The bride in the sedan chair also kicked back gently.

The strength of kicking the sedan car door on the wedding ceremony means who will have the upper hand when the new couple gets along in the future, but the real groom official in today's marriage has passed away, which means that it cannot be realized at all, it is just a formality.

Shao Nanyan kicked the sedan car door lightly, and everyone didn't notice anything different, and no one noticed the hesitation on the face of the second wife of the Shao family and Shao Xize's mother, Guan Shi.
