Chapter 117: The Great Wedding (2)
The guard of honor starts from Danfeng Gate and parades around the four main streets of Chang'an City. The four main streets are vertical and horizontal from north to south and east to west, and the road is cleared early in the morning, and the palace guards and Jin Wuwei take turns to guard.
In front of and behind the procession, there are maids wearing cloud clothes and colorful clothes, cloud temples and fairy sounds, carrying the lanterns of the Xianglong Palace, with red ribbon hair ropes hanging behind them, and fluttering arm veils. There are also maids carrying bamboo baskets and sprinkling wrapped red envelopes and candy around.
The people waiting on both sides of the street rushed to scatter the red envelopes and congratulated the eldest princess on her wedding.
Lively and noisy, the scene of the prosperous era, the festive of flowers.
Wang Huanzhi rode a horse to open the way, his face was calm, and he was followed by a team of guards, wearing long swords and short knives at his side. The guards are followed by musicians, playing flutes and ringing bells, and the colorful clothes flutter like fairy music.
When everyone saw such a grand scene, they couldn't help but hold their breath, their eyes wide for fear of missing something.
This is the only time in the past. The team is mighty, full of red makeup.
The people of Chang'an City gathered on both sides of Suzaku Street, wanting to see the eldest princess's face and the joy of the wedding. This time I took a red envelope, listened to the joy, and also wanted to meet people.
This marriage was originally eye-catching, but because of Xu Jin's smile at the beauty of the daughter, it added a bit of a dreamy feeling that can only be found in the excerpt.
The wind blew, and the layers of hanging clouds and soft veils floated up, and the bell outside the carriage rang crisply, and everyone's eyes were glued to the soft veil, but they could not see the faces of the people in the car.
Because of today's street tour, the teahouse and tavern on Suzaku Street, which was originally expensive, were booked out early in the morning. The curtains were raised above the attic, and everyone gathered their heads to look down, letting out bursts of admiration.
The battle of the Son of Heaven marrying a sister is big!
The king of Qin, who has the power of regent, personally served as a greeting envoy, and the dowry carried hundreds of boxes of rare treasures, and even the maids in this honor guard were as beautiful as fairies.
Men envy Xu Jin, while women envy Shen Yan.
The world is always envious of what they can't get.
Lu Ningfu sat in the wing room of the restaurant, leaning on the railing by the window and looking at the vast wedding procession downstairs in the distance, hearing the sound of cheers and envy in his ears, and said a little melancholy: "I really don't know who is an idiot in this world......
The honor guard circled the streets of Chang'an nine times, from early morning to dusk, a full four hours.
The blessings of the sky were sprinkled, and finally returned to the Xu Mansion.
After Xu Jin prayed for blessings to the gods, he waited outside the gate of the house. He is wearing a wedding dress today, wearing a pair of jade rings with a ribbon around his waist, and a purple and gold hair crown combing up the green silk and inserting a crystal hairpin.
The handsome and sharp facial features have a faint smile at this time, like a glacial water, which is particularly moving. Xu is festive red satin, which coaxed Xu Jin's face with some tenderness.
He was followed by a large number of guests, all friends who had come from all over the world to attend the wedding banquet. Qingcheng and Fengmian stood on both sides, looking into the distance a little red.
Xu Jin saw the wedding team and stepped forward to greet him. Wang Huanzhi tightened the reins in his hand, turned over and dismounted, and said lightly: "Donkey." ”
"King Qin."
Xu Jin arched his hand slightly, and said hello, so he stepped forward and walked straight to the carriage.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites waited next to him early in the morning, and when they saw that Xu Jin was already standing outside the carriage, they took out a roll of proclamation from their sleeves and praised loudly.
After suing the gods and ancestors of heaven and earth, it is over.
Shen Yan sat in the carriage, dizzy with hunger, and now when he heard this long proclamation, he almost laughed angrily. If it weren't for the rules, she would have eaten the apple in her arms.
"Your Highness, please."
Xu Jin stepped forward and arched his hand, and then stretched out his hand in front of the carriage.
Xiao Xing and Feng Xuan smiled and tied up the curtains of cloud soft yarn on both sides of the carriage, revealing Shen Yan sitting in the carriage, under the long red veil cover, with pearls hanging from the four corners, and her face could not be seen clearly.
Shen Yan was under the hijab, she couldn't see things clearly, she saw Xu Jin's outstretched hand, the bones were distinct, slender and powerful, and the clear palm lines were like a big net to capture her.
Even if it's fake, but the matter has come to this, she is still upset.
Shen Yan pressed his thoughts, took two deep breaths, and finally reached out and completely put his little hand into Xu Jin's hand.
Solemn and decisive. There was a burst of suppressed laughter and surprise around him.
Ying Ying is weak and boneless.
Xu Jin smiled lightly, took her hand back, and helped Shen Yan down from the carriage.
……
The daughter of the heavenly family has a very high status when she marries, and she does not need to bow to her husband's relatives. Therefore, Shen Yan followed Xu Jin into the Xu Mansion, and the two worshipped heaven and earth, and after worshipping the holy decree, it was considered a ceremony to pay tribute to the ancestors.
The feast of flowing water is set out in the back garden.
At this time, it was night, the moonlight climbed up the branches, and the red lanterns all over the courtyard were festive and lively, illuminating the people who drank and talked back and forth in the courtyard.
After tossing all day, Shen Yan felt that he was not comfortable anywhere in his body now.
It just so happened that she didn't need to participate in the noisy wedding banquet, and after bowing to the ancestors of the Xu family outside the ancestral hall, she was ready to go back to the wedding room.
The red lights in the courtyard weave a sea of red. The air is filled with the smell of wine.
When Shen Yan was about to leave, Xu Jin lightly held her hand, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "There is a plate of dim sum in the room, you can pad your stomach first." ”
There is nothing wrong with this ambiguous action at this time.
Shen Yan was so hungry that he couldn't wait to go back to the wedding room to eat snacks when he heard Xu Jin's words. But at this time, it was difficult to speak in the courtyard, so I just shook it back to show that I understood.
Xu Jin felt the touch from the palm of his hand, and his eyes smiled.
……
"Your Highness."
Shen Yan sat in the wedding tent like a force, and suddenly felt a little awkward, but after a closer look, it was actually a mascot such as red dates and longan.
She pulled the red dates and longan on the bed before sitting down again.
"And all that?"
Outside the room, there were still grandmothers waiting to come out of the palace, and Shen Yan was inconvenient to speak loudly, so he had to pull the red dates and whisper to Xiaoxing and Fengxuan.
She had been hungry for a day, and at this time she was weak to speak, and she was very aggrieved.
Xiao Xing and Feng Xuan looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Xing said, "Of course there is." The horse is well prepared this time, and the etiquette of the heavenly family and the etiquette of the people have been prepared, as if he is afraid that His Royal Highness will be wronged. I just saw that the lanterns and satin in the courtyard are all excellent, and the four seasons and colors of the offerings are also solemn. ”
Feng Xuan also said on the side: "Yes, yes, when I greeted my relatives today, my eyes lit up when I saw His Highness. Although it is an ordinary mansion, it is also carefully decorated. ”
The two sang and harmonized, so that Shen Yan didn't know what to say.
"You two would say. Let's hurry up and find out if there are any snacks for me to eat, I'm almost fainting from hunger. ”
Shen Yan stretched his neck with the heavy crown of hair, and said in a low voice.
There are wines, dishes, and fruits on the table, but according to the etiquette system, the bride is not allowed to eat, let alone eat the things on the table.
Xiaoxing took out the sleeve handkerchief hidden in his sleeve and opened the handkerchief, and there were still a few pieces of horseshoe crisp inside.
The oil is shiny and very cute!
"Your Highness padded your stomach first?"
Shen Yan took a few bites and realized that these horseshoe crisps were made by the chefs of the Feiling Palace, with enough sugar and horseshoe, which were very crispy.
