Chapter 1: The Great Wedding
On this day, the red curtain in Jiankang City covered the sky, the bells and drums rang in unison, it can be said that thousands of empty alleys were crowded, and the emperor's marriage was just such a pomp.
On the eighth day of June in the eighth year of Taiyuan (383), it was the auspicious day for Nanjun Gonghuan Xuan to marry his wife, so Sikong Liu Qiao's great-granddaughter Liu Wanniang.
Jiankang was originally a rich land, the people had surplus food, and the officials had spare leisure. loves to chat when you have nothing to do, this marriage is the focus of gossip in the city in the past half month.
The two newcomers are the descendants of the century-old family, and they can be said to be a good match, which is really commonplace in Jiankang City.
Jiankang City, as the capital of the Jin Kingdom in the Southern Dynasties, is the most prosperous. Officials of all sizes are like carp crossing the river, and there are poems:
Yu listened to the drum and responded to the official, and went to the Malan platform to turn the tent.
It means that officials have to go to the government every morning when they hear their husbands beating drums, which is the same as clocking in and signing in to work.
The groom Guannan County Gonghuan Xuanzi respectfully said, since he was a child, he has been understanding human feelings and dealing with it smartly. He was the youngest son of Huan Wenshu, but he inherited the family business and title at the age of five. His biological mother was from a humble background, and his mother-in-law was the noble princess Princess Nankang, who still had five elder brothers. Under this disparity in identity and age, he can successfully become the head of the Huan family, and everyone at the time thought it was incredible.
Huan Xuan's father, Huan Wen, was in power for 20 years, and he was in power, so he could casually abolish the disobedient emperor and set up a minor milk doll as the emperor. The other officials of the major noble clans were busy expressing their submission to Huan Wen, and even Xie An, the prime minister of the dynasty and the current head of the Xie clan of Chen County, once went north to do the matter. If it weren't for bad luck, Huan Wen suddenly fell ill in the year he decided to usurp the throne and died, and the poor little emperor might have been replaced by him long ago.
However, even if Huan Wen has passed away, the power of the Huan family is deeply entrenched and entangled, and it has not declined with it, and the royal Sima clan has no ability to clean up the Huan family at all, so they can only tremble and appease while pulling together the two major families of Wang Xie to check and balance, so the two families with the most decision-making power in the court today are the two major families of Langya Wang and Chenjun Xie.
Speaking of which, the Sima family's road to the emperor is really bumpy, and he has never been able to raise his eyebrows and hold power. Liu Qiao, the great-grandfather of the bride Liu Wanniang, can be said to be the predecessor of Huan Wen, the same is a figure who has spoken in the court for many years, and the same is a military merit starter who holds military power, and was once allowed to bring a knife into the court, and the imperial power and monarchy are trampled on.
Originally, the Liu family and the Huan family had no friendship, but it happened that Liu Tanbiao, the father of Liu's Wanniang, also called out and said that he was an official in the same dynasty as Huan Xuan. Since Huan Xuan and Guan, the court and the central government also know the words of Nanjun Gong, and it is inevitable that the two respects will mention the other in front of the other, so the two families also got married, and the marriage of the strong alliance was concluded.
If you want to talk about wealth, from Wuyi Lane around the West Gate to Youyu Street, the endless ten miles of red makeup wedding procession is not enough to show the noble identity of these two newcomers.
If you want to talk about honor, when the emperor of the Jin Kingdom came to Huan's house to watch the ceremony and gave Liu Zhengyi a fate, Xu Huan Xuanyu gave a jade plate to enter the court at any time, which is already extremely favorable.
To say that celebrities and gentlemen are romantic, the elegant scholars who follow the send-off team to recite poems can be described as a landscape, and there are constantly charming women with eyes full of love in the crowds of viewing procession, and they are shy to throw flowers and fruits to their favorite men. Non-Shi women don't need to wear hats, and the bright and generous flattering eyes are thrown one after another, arousing bursts of applause in the crowd, which really steals the limelight from the bride.
Hagi Niang pulled her personal maid Cai Ling out of the crowd panting, and stood by the empty seat of a tea stall on the street to wipe her sweat.
"Cai Ling, why do those women throw watermelons on others?" Hagi Niang asked while smiling at the silk handkerchief that does not absorb sweat, what about 100% natural mulberry silk, it is not as good as a napkin, hey, there are so many embroidered flowers, it is not comfortable to wipe.
"You're talking about cold melon, that melon is sweet, but my mother said that women can't eat more, it's not good for health."
Hagi Niang rolled her eyes, it was too blunt to divert the topic like this, and people asked why it was good to throw watermelons.
"I listened to Mother Liu teach you yesterday, the most important thing for a maid is loyalty, what the master says is what he says, and the master will never be wrong. Do you dare to answer what the master asks you now? “
"Mom also said, don't look at incivility, don't say incivility, although our Zang family is not a high-ranking family, etiquette rules still have to be observed." Cai Ling lowered her eyebrows and replied smoothly, her round little face did not have the innocence that should belong to a teenage girl, but was unusually serious and old.
Is it really good for you to disobey your girl like this? Hagi Niang couldn't cry or laugh.
Forget it, this honest boy.
"Cai Ling, it's almost too lively, let's go back."
"Yes, girl." Cai Ling called the coachman and escort Sang Hu who was resting at the tea stall, and helped Hagi Niang to get into the carriage of the Zang family parked at the entrance of the alley.
Hagi Musume crossed over seven years ago. On that day seven years ago, Hagi Niang got up late and rushed to work to open a can of eight-treasure porridge while running and stuffing it into her mouth, never expected, a super large kidney bean choked in the trachea, and she choked like this, Hagi Niang was so suffocated that she woke up after fainting in this strange world. It is said that she rolled down from the steps, broke her head, and she was already out of breath and bizarrely survived, and Mother Li didn't know how many Buddhas she recited for this.
Judging from the dress and text, this should be ancient, but it is a dynasty that Hagi Niang is not very familiar with, so it is easy to sneak up and ask what the emperor's name is, but what is Sima Yao. Who is this??? Hagi Niang really regrets that she didn't study history well. Thinking about it, I think that it may be a descendant of Sima Zhao, Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone, and it is completely possible for his son and grandson Shenma to usurp the throne and seize power.
This speculation is really close to the truth, Sima Yao's classmate is indeed Sima Zhao's Zeng Zeng... grandchildren.
But Hagi Niang is still in trouble, after the Three Kingdoms, before the Tang Dynasty, the history of the Tang Dynasty is black and swollen, what can I do?
The only thing I know is that Li Yuan and Li Shimin are the two big bosses, and now I don't know if they were born or not, so they can't be related at all.
Said that the good things are like God, advanced technology, wisdom and golden fingers?
Hagi Niang is probably the saddest of the crossing women.,What's not even a spoiler.,Hey...... Headache......
"Girl, girl, there are too many passers-by in front of you to block the pass, Brother Sang asked us if we should take a detour or wait?" The sound of Ling.
Haginiang was a little dizzy by the car, and asked casually: "Why can't you get by, is something wrong?" “
"It looks like a man has been hit by a carriage, and there is a lot of blood."
Hagi Niang lifted the curtain and looked at the surrounding streets, the carriage was already in Ping'anfang, and after Ping'anfang was the Suzaku Gate, and she would be able to go out of the city immediately. If you want to take a detour, it may not be smooth anywhere else, and if you take the wrong road, it will be even more troublesome. Hagi Niang instructed Cai Ling, "Let's wait a minute, it's good if the people are removed."
Suddenly, there was a crying wail, and Hagi Niang tried to look forward. I saw a group of men and women quickly surrounding a luxurious carriage, crying and shouting such things as "the official family is beating people", "you want to leave if you hit someone to death", "there is no heavenly reason and no king's law", and they also cried with beating their chests and feet.
This scale, this speed, this line, is absolutely professional. Hagi Niang was stunned, there was actually a porcelain touch in ancient times, and the origin of Chinese culture.
On the carriage that was surrounded, the coachman looked embarrassed, blushed and shouted: "What nonsense, obviously I didn't hit it." “
The group of people around them became even more energetic, "How can there be blood on the ground if you don't hit it", "The blue sky is talking nonsense in the daytime", "The people don't fight with the officials, give a way to live", all kinds of lines are not repeated.
One mouth said that it was just a group of people, and the coachman with thick shoulders and round waist had a depressed expression on his face that he was bullied by dogs in Pingyang, and he was so aggrieved that he was about to cry, turning over and over just saying "I definitely didn't hit it".
No one came out of the carriage quietly, as if there was no one inside.
There are more and more people gathering, except for the gang who is sure to kill someone, there are also passing by and stopping to see the excitement, but no one can see whether it was knocked down or not, whether it was hit or not, it happened too fast just now, just a moment, who can say clearly.
If you don't go back, it's going to be dark, Hagi Niang couldn't help but get out of the car, and Cai Ling followed step by step.
Hagi Niang walked to the group of people as if she was strolling leisurely, observed the "corpse" that fell on the side of the road and no one cared for it, slowly leaned down, calmly took out a sheepskin bag from the arms of the "corpse", and carried it upside down, and there was still undrained blood oozing out of it.
"Guys, what is this bag for?" Hagi asked sweetly in a very innocent and very cute voice.
The red-faced coachman's eyes widened, and his jaw was about to drop.
There was a chuckle from the encircled carriage, low, trying to suppress but not holding back the laughter.
The group of people who were crying around the carriage also froze for a moment, and then quickly separated with lightning speed, and dispersed into the crowd. The "corpse" opened his eyes and saw that the situation was not good, and he got up and flew into the alley not far away, and disappeared around the corner of the alley without running a few steps.
Only then did the coachman react and scolded: "This is all right?!! It's despicable, you! Swindler! He was busy thanking Hagi Niang.
Hagi Niang nodded, turned around in a dashing manner, and walked gracefully to her carriage, with graceful steps and elegant bearing. It's just that this perfect picture suddenly has a little dissonance.,Hagi Niang only felt that something was tripped under her feet.,Straight out facing the ground.。 Seeing that she was about to make intimate contact with the earth head-on, she only felt a tightness on her waist, and she was almost pulled.
"Thank you." Hagi Musume four-legged (hand?) And the land was finally able to stand firm, and hurriedly thanked him. When he looked up, he was stunned.
The man with her belt in one hand was breathtakingly beautiful.
Are the two words really just used to describe women, Hagi Niang is ashamed of herself.
The jade beauty raised her picturesque eyebrows, and the crystal eyes under the long eyelashes glanced at Hagi Niang slightly, and the voice like pearls and jade spit out slowly.
"In Xie's Yuandu in Xia Chen County, thank you for the help of the Zang family's sister-in-law." The voice seems to be smiling rather than laughing, with a little narrowness.
Why do you know that I am from the Zang family? Hagi Niang followed his eyes and looked back at the family emblem on her carriage, and suddenly realized.
is worthy of Chenjun Xie's family, it is really well-read and strong.
Once again, she politely blessed her body, and Hagi Niang raised her feet and left, lest her heart be harmed by this face that was overwhelming the country and the city.
