Chapter 13 Zhao Jingting praised the marriage

Cheng Yanjin led two floats into the middle gate with the support of Qin Han, and walked through the courtyard until he came to the outside of the wedding tent before stopping. The coachman hurried over to unload the horses and led them out.

Jiang Xu and Xu Qing jumped out of the car first, Jiang Xu lifted the curtain and said inside, "It's here." Brother Xue, hurry down. Don't sit still in there. Xue Dingshan got up and got out of the car, accompanied by Jiang Xu and Xu Qing to see Cheng Biting Jin.

Xue Dingshan came to Cheng Yanjin and bowed down and said, "Old Chitose has worked hard. ”

When Cheng Yanjin saw him coming down, he "snorted" and said, "The heart is not bitter, but the liver is bitter." For the sake of you, a little enemy, I've been running back and forth for several days, can I not work hard? Alright, let's go to the Holy One first. Let's see how Shengshang and Third Brother Xu have arranged. ”

"Chitose." Xue Dingshan bowed down and said: "Thank you Cheng Lao Chitose for working hard for the juniors, and when you are free in a few days, the juniors will definitely go to the house to thank the old Chitose in person." Cheng Yanjin said: "I don't want your thanks, as long as your husband and wife are in harmony than giving me any heavy thanks." Get on in. ”

"Yes." Xue Dingshan shook again and said, "The younger generation is all subject to the arrangement of the old Qiansui. ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded and said, "If you don't want to listen to me, you have to do it." I've experienced this more than you've ever heard of. ”

Qin Han didn't dare to laugh next to him and said; "Fourth grandfather, the hour is not early, hurry up and go in to see the saint to hand in the decree."

Cheng Yanjin said: "That's right, I'm afraid that the saints will be in a hurry." Let's get inside. While speaking, he and Xue Dingshan and Qin Han stepped into the happy tent together to see Emperor Zhenguan Li Shimin.

The three of them entered the wedding tent, knelt down on the red felt and gave the Zhenguan Emperor Li Shimin a great gift to the monarch and ministers, and said in unison: "Long live my emperor, the ministers have come back to marry the newlyweds." ”

Li Shimin, Xu Maogong and other ministers were waiting for their news in the wedding tent. Although he didn't expect anything to go wrong, he still couldn't help but have some faint worries in his heart. Seeing that they were back, he said, "Three Aiqing, please be even." Qin Han and Xue Dingshan helped Cheng Yanjin to stand up.

Li Shimin asked: "Cheng Lao Aiqing, how about you go to marry Marshal Fan this time?" Is everything still going well? ”

Cheng Yanjin smiled, bowed down, and said back: "Smooth, smooth." The ministers waited for this to go very smoothly, and at this time the newlyweds' float had already arrived outside the wedding tent. ”

When Li Shimin heard that the newcomer's float was coming, he hurriedly asked left and right: "Who arranged to welcome the newcomer to get off?" Xue Jingshan hurriedly stepped forward to salute and replied, "It's the sister-in-law and Neiko of the Qin family." Li Shimin nodded and said, "Hurry up and let them go and invite the newlyweds to get off the float, and the auspicious time will come." ”

"Wechen obeys." Xue Jingshan promised and hurriedly came out of the happy tent. He asked the attendants on the left and right, "Where are Mrs. Qin and the second young lady?" The person standing next to him hurriedly bowed down and said, "Back to the second son, Mrs. Qin and the second young lady have already gone outside to wait to welcome the newcomer." ”

Xue Jingshan returned to the wedding tent, and Shi Li replied to Li Shimin, saying: "Long live Qiyu, the Qin family's sister-in-law and Neiko are already waiting outside the wedding tent to pick up the newlyweds and get off the car." ”

Li Shimin asked again: "Who is arranging to read the text of the handicapped car?" ”

Xue Jingshan hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's Brother Qin Yingxian." ”

Li Shimin looked at Xu Maogong and said, "Strategist, can the car barrier be handed over to Qin Ying?" Xu Maogong hurriedly said, "Not yet." He hurriedly turned around and said to the attendant beside him: "Someone, go and get the car and hand it over to General Qin Xiao." ”

Congren didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly took out the car barrier text written by Xu Maogong in red and heavy silk yesterday, came to Qin Ying's front and handed it to Qin Ying. Li Shimin said: "Qin Ying, hurry up and go outside the wedding tent to read the obstacle car text, so that the newlyweds can get off the float and complete the gift inside the happy tent." ”

"Wechen obeys." Qin Ying hurriedly took the car barrier with both hands, turned around and walked out of the happy tent, and came to stand on top of the red felt outside the happy tent.

Xu Qing and He Lianying hurriedly led two boys who were less than three feet old, and the virgins each held a stick of incense and stood on both sides of the door of the happy tent.

The two sides of the ceremonial music are lined up, and the musicians have their own drums and orchestras, and the sheng flute is singing in unison for a while, so it is not lively.

Diao Yue'e and Li Xiurong saw that the float came to a stop in front of the red felt, and hurriedly greeted them, standing next to them and waiting for the newcomers to get off.

Qin Ying and Lile finished reading the obstacle car text.

Diao Yue'e ordered the two servants to put up the footstool, invite the newlyweds to get off the float through the curtain, and said, "The auspicious time has arrived, please Miss Fan move the jade step down from the float." ”

Yunlan and Yulan got down from the wheel first, Yulan lifted the curtain, and Yunlan helped Fan Lihua to slowly get off the float. Twenty-four maids led the way in front of them with red lights, Diao Yue'e on the left, and Yunlan on the right to help Fan Lihua step on the red felt, and walked slowly across the saddle towards the green tent. Cheng Qianzhong, Cheng Wan, Yu Chijiang, Yu Chisong and other little brothers pushed and hugged on both sides of the red felt, and were busy sprinkling various fruits such as red dates, walnuts, chestnuts and other fruits that were prepared in advance with auspicious meaning on Fan Lihua's body.

Not long after, when she came to the green tent, Fan Lihua came to Li Shimin first under the service of Diao Yue'e and Yunlan. Someone put down the worship mat, and Fan Lihua knelt down and gave Li Shimin a great courtesy. Diao Yue'e said instead of Fan Lihua: "Miss Fan came to meet Long live. Li Shimin looked down at Fan Lihua, who was dressed in a dress, and said with admiration: "Flat." Diao Yue'e helped Fan Lihua to stand up.

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly said to the attendants: "You quickly take the newly made worship mat and put it in front of the incense table for the gods of heaven and earth." In a while, I will worship heaven and earth. Everyone looked at Cheng Yanjin's hurried appearance, and they all laughed secretly, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Diao Yue'e helped Fan Lihua to the front of the incense table for the stove king and the animal god. The servant woman hurriedly brought the mat and put it away. Diao Yue'e said, "Miss, please worship the stove king." As he spoke, he helped Fan Lihua to bow four times. After worshipping, he stood up.

Li Shimin saw that Fan Lihua had finished worshipping all the gods that should be worshipped, so he said: "Xu Lao Aiqing, it's time for you to recite the happy words." Xu Maogong hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said, "The old minister obeys the order." ”

At this time, although the sky is already dusk, the sheng flute outside the happy tent is pleasant, the pipe flute is melodious, and a few firecrackers sound from time to time. In the wedding tent, the red candles are as high as day, and the cigarette smoke is around. Inside and out, all the people up and down were full of happy smiles, and there was a joyful and auspicious atmosphere in the marshal's mansion.
