Chapter 36: The Past of the Court (19)

Zhang He invited a matchmaker, accepting the lottery, asking for names, recruiting auspiciousness, accepting the levy, and asking for the period, step by step, gold, money strings, copper geese, bundles of silk, and a lot of fish and meat, but the gold only made up ten catties, which was inevitably less. Fortunately, after Xu's mother agreed, she didn't particularly care about these, probably because she felt that she had agreed anyway, and her illness was really good, and she didn't have to be embarrassed, it was really "the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became". The only thing that is not happy is that I know that Xu's mother also looked for the old fairy to see the days, but the two sides said differently, Zhang He and Guanghan had no choice but to rely on Xu's mother's days.

On the day of the invitation, it coincided with the third and fifth days, and the full moon hung alone in the sky, which was unusually cold. The illness has looked up at the moon, thinking that a long time ago, his great-grandmother took him to worship his grandfather, grandmother and parents, the moon is still the same moon, and he is about to get married in the blink of an eye. In the past few years, his eldest uncle often came to visit him, but he did not go back to Du County to get close to his maternal great-grandmother. Looking at this round of bright moon, the illness already missed his maternal great-grandmother and several uncles very much, and planned to go back to Du County to pick them up, but there were too many things to prepare, so Zhang He arranged for Zhao Wufu to drive to invite. Shi Zhenjun was overjoyed when he got the news, how could he endure old age and frailty, and he was already unable to move, so he called the three Shi Gao brothers to come. Although Shi Zhenjun's family was completely defeated, he still hid a few good jewelry, Shi Gao gave a pair of jade pendants when he got married, and a pair of gold hairpins, which were originally in the palace, very exquisite, Shi Zhenjun asked Shi Gao to bring it to Pingjun. Shi Gao and the three of them prepared extra cloth and bottles and cans and other daily utensils, and even wrapped a few packs of caramel and scones from the street corner of Duxian County, which they loved to eat, and hurried over.

Peng Zu found two handymen to help tidy up the house in Shangguan, seeing that people could live, Peng Zu had unspeakable pain, imagining that Pingjun was sitting on the bed covered with brocade quilts, but the people around him were not himself, who could blame him for all this? Forget it, let time erase that feeling of Pingjun, even if it's for a lifetime! Hey, if you have the opportunity, I really want to take out my heart and show it to Pingjun, and my heart is all about you!

Pingjun and the illness have been followed by etiquette and no longer see each other. Ten days is like ten years, lovesickness lingers, and the two of them are looking forward to wearing it, and finally it is the day of dusk. On this day, he was sick and wore a knight, a dark shirt, a silk bottom, a brown and red knee cover, a black belt, and red shoes, very dignified and respectful, driving the carriage, surrounded by the Shi brothers and Peng Zu, to Pingjun's house to marry. Several people have never been dressed so solemnly, and they looked at each other's thieves, and they thought to themselves: It would be nice if Du Tuo was there!

Passers-by saw such a group of young men, all handsome and dashing, and their figures were graceful, and they were envious and admired, and several young women followed all the way, and there were two beggar-looking people, a man and a woman, who followed from afar. When I arrived at Pingjun's house, I saw Pingjun with high buns and wide eyebrows, crimson cheeks, lips with some fat, wearing the golden hairpin given by the Shi family and the bright moon ear given by the Zhang family. I've been missing Pingjun very much, and I've never seen Pingjun dressed like this, I wanted to laugh, but I almost cried out somehow.

It took about half an hour for the two to complete the etiquette of worship, wo, seat, prison, union, and knotting, although it was not gorgeous, but it was dignified and orderly.

Sick no longer has parents, previously wanted to ask Zhang He as a father to receive gifts, Zhang He resigned, and finally only set up two empty mats, Zhang He stood beside him, answering "up" on his behalf.

The two of them entered the cave room under the push of a group of children, and an old palace maid in the court brought a basket of peppercorns, dates, longan, peanuts and other things, laughing and singing "Mandarin ducks are flying, Bi Zhiluozhi." A gentleman for ten thousand years, Fu Lu should be. The mandarin duck is in the beam, and the Ji is on the left flank. A gentleman for ten thousand years, it is advisable to be blessed. ”

After singing, a lot of fruit grabbed and was super sick, Pingjun scattered, the two of them took a few with their clothes, and the rest were coaxed and robbed by the children.

Since there were not many of the two families, they did it together. There were several wedding banquets inside and outside the new house, all of which were close relatives and friends, as well as a few stewards and family members of the court office.

Originally, Zhang He wanted to call An Shiye to come over, but he was pimpled in his heart, and he didn't inform him after thinking about it. Zongzheng Mansion sent someone to wrap 10,000 yuan as a congratulatory gift, but the man left in a hurry on the grounds that he was busy with official business and did not stay for dinner. Therefore, there was not a single dignitary or palace person in the whole feast. Guanghan's younger brothers Xu Shun, Xu Yanshou, Wang Fengguang, and Zhao Wufu all came from their families, and they also specially invited Lan Zhongweng when they were sick, and called a few classmates with good relationships, plus a few helpers, although there were not many people, they were also very lively.

The main banquet was about to begin, and I saw a person wearing a black cloak and a black hood into the house, and walked towards Zhang He along the corner of the wall surrounded by two people.

Others couldn't recognize it, but Zhang He could see at a glance that it was An Shi, but he deliberately pretended not to recognize it and greeted others there. An Shi walked up to Zhang He and called "brother", Zhang He didn't smile and said: "An Shi is here, I'm relatively narrow here, I don't have a decent place for you to sit, I originally wanted to tell you in two days, oh, Pingjun is a woman from a private family, not the Zhang family, so don't get in the way." ”

An Shi knew that Zhang He was still sulking because of Jing Shu's illness, his brother was indeed a good person, but his vision was inevitably lower, and he couldn't see the ups and downs of a higher level. An Shidao: "Brother, I'm here to congratulate the emperor's great-grandson, and I have official business tonight, so I'll leave after seeing the newcomer." As soon as he finished speaking, a man took out a bag of things and gently placed them on the bookcase. Another person took out a pair of jade rings and put them aside.

Zhang He said: "What does this mean? ”

An Shidao: "This jade ring is my congratulatory gift, one for each newcomer." This money is the money of this house, I know that my brother is in trouble, everything is pressed on my heart, my brother's face is becoming more and more haggard, let me share some of it, otherwise what face will I have to sacrifice to my father. ”

Zhang He listened and knew that this was An Shi bowing his head. In fact, he loves this younger brother the most, and he used to think that when the days are better in the future, how good it would be for the brothers to eat and drink spicy together, who ever thought that there would be fragrant and spicy, but the two went farther and farther. Now that my brother has come to the door, all the hard work and helplessness these days have turned into two lines of old tears, and they have flowed down unconsciously, Zhang He quickly wiped his face with his sleeve, quietly brought An Shi to the side room, and called the sick and peaceful king out of the cave room to meet An Shi.
