Extra: Marriage (I)
Extra five
In April of the second year of Zhengxing in the Northern Tang Dynasty, the capital Chang'an was full of traffic, and the streets were full of red lanterns and colorful flags.
Today is the day when Tie Shanwu, the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and Princess Hongfu, the aunt of His Majesty the Emperor, get married, and the most important thing is that it is a marriage in front of the emperor.
Princess Hongfu is not as famous as the former Princess Guangle, in comparison, she seems to be just a noble person who passes by in people's mouths, very distant and unkind.
And in those faint reputations, she is indeed not kind enough, for legend has it that she is short-tempered, pampered, and low-eyed, and many young men with heads and faces dare not marry her, and she does not look down on them.
Just dragged on, and she was twenty-five.
Twenty-five, she is really an old girl, she can't get married, you must know that even Li Xiyun, who was the pearl of Emperor Tianzai's palm, was only fifteen or sixteen years old when she was given marriage.
Of course, there are her own reasons for this, as well as external reasons - the dispute between Tang and Wu caused war between the two countries, and she experienced a lot of displacement, and also delayed her marriage.
Then she finally got married today, people guessed that she might be a little unwilling, but due to the situation and the face of the Li family, she had to marry if she didn't want to marry at this age.
It's just a reverie.
Inside the huge Iron Mansion, jubilant and bright red, originally because Tieshan had no friends and few friends, and there was no family, although as the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the mansion was always deserted, but today it was very lively, and there were people inside and outside the house.
Tie Shanwu's last marriage seems to be a long time ago, and few people know about it, presumably His Majesty the Emperor of the Northern Tang Dynasty doesn't know it, and he is already thirty-four, the emperor values him so much, his marriage is naturally to be taken to heart, and Princess Hongfu is a very good candidate.
These scenes are only in the eyes of a very small number of people, and those conjectures are gathered in the hearts of countless people.
A handsome yellow-brown mare was galloping in a carriage, and what was even more ironic was that between Traceless and the mare, a foal was running happily.
That's a family without a trace.
Inside the carriage, the beautiful woman in a bright red dress was silently looking at the rapidly regressing scenery outside, as if she was thinking about something.
She is savoring these familiar breaths-Chang'an breath, and she is feeling something.
After Li Zenan died and left Chang'an, so much time had passed in a flash.
At this time, Wuji already had his own child, but their child was born a year later, and a year later, Guan Kuo was still chasing Jin An, and it was difficult to let go of the grievances he had felt, of course, this was only a later story.
"What are you thinking?" Guan Kuo leaned over and asked.
"So much time has passed, and so many things have happened, but I didn't expect the world to return to peace, and my imperial sister Hongfu actually drove ducks to get married." At first she looked a little sad, but as she spoke, a faint smile appeared on her face.
Guan Kuo was a little speechless, thinking to himself how much prejudice she had against that imperial sister?
They spoke intermittently, and before they knew it, the outline of Chang'an City had become extremely clear.
Today's Chang'an City looks very lively, there are many people who have entered the city, Tieshan Wu's reputation is very prosperous now, and Princess Hongfu has also been mentioned in the past, and gradually became more and more known, so the marriage of the two of them has also become some kind of strange talk by mistake.
Tie Shan Wu's circle is not big, and of course it is impossible to invite too many people, but it is people's nature to join in the fun, even if they can't enter the Iron Mansion, shouting a few times at the greeting team on the street is also liked by many people.
When they came to the city gate, their speed did not change, and several city guards who were chattering about today's marriage at the city gate were suddenly shocked, and they all stood up straight, and said respectfully to the coachman: "I've seen General Gao!" ”
Guan Kuo and Li Xiyun sat in the carriage, and the one who drove the horses for them was actually Gao Lin, who is not famous now.
Speaking of which, Guan Kuo still felt very flattered by Lao Tie's friendship with him, he never thought that he was so far away in the land of Qilu, not only did he receive an invitation, but the invitation was actually sent by Tieshan without inviting Gao Lin in person, and took the two of them to the banquet together.
There were some delays on the way, but fortunately, they finally arrived on the day when Tieshan was not married, otherwise, Guan Kuo felt that he would not have the face to meet that guy.
Although Guan Kuo said several times along the way, how could this work, rushing to catch the carriage with Gao Lin, but Gao Lin smiled and said This is the boss's intention, we have been together for so many years, and the boss has married me and asked me to come to pick you up in person, so those intentions will naturally have to act to the end.
In a good mood today, Gao Lin changed his usual gloomy face, smiled at the soldiers, and quickly swept into the city.
The number of people began to increase, everywhere was very lively, the speed of the carriage could not be faster, the three of them talked about things, and it was not long before they came to the vicinity of Tiefu.
Guan Kuo's mood at this moment suddenly became a little excited and hesitant, probably because he hadn't met those people he used to know well for many years, and now he actually began to worry about the scene of this meeting, and what he should say.
was thinking to himself, a familiar voice came from outside the carriage: "General Gao! ”
The carriage had stopped, he looked sideways at Li Xiyun, and saw the other party shrugging his shoulders, and then it should be the sound of Gao Lin jumping out of the carriage.
Gao Lin's voice had a slight smile: "Mrs. Liu." ”
This is a very unfamiliar title for Guan Kuo, he knows many people in Chang'an, but at least, he has heard such a title for the first time.
Maybe it's someone he doesn't know, he thought to himself.
With that in mind, he took a deep breath, lifted the carriage curtain, and jumped.
The noise outside suddenly grew in his ears, and the light was much brighter, making him squint slightly, but the warm sunlight made him feel comfortable for a while.
Gao Lin was talking to the "Lady Liu" with a smile: "Why is Liu Gongzi missing, only the lady is here alone, this really doesn't look like a word......
Guan Kuo was confused for a while, and suddenly heard a strange voice behind him: "What are you doing in a daze?" ”
He turned around and saw that Li Xiyun had also come to the outside of the carriage, and a plain hand was stretching out towards him in the distance.
He hurriedly put his hand over and helped the other party get out of the carriage, only then did he hear the surprised voice of the "Mrs. Liu": "Huh! This is...... Her Royal Highness Princess Guangle!? ”
This voice is still so familiar, but in the crowd outside the Iron Mansion, it exploded, and when she heard that Her Royal Highness Princess Guangle, who had been missing for so long, appeared in Chang'an City again, there was excitement and discussion everywhere.
Whether Li Xiyun wants it or not, Li Qianrong returned her princess title, but Li Xiyun only regarded it as a name.
She smiled and greeted the people around her, but her smile was faint, and she didn't seem to want to be admired as she had been so long.
At this time, Guan Kuo saw clearly that the so-called "Mrs. Liu" was actually Xu Mengshan.
Xu Mengshan, who has always been cowardly and afraid of things, is still as beautiful as a fairy, but although she still implies the shyness of the past, she is also obviously more mature, and she has a bit of the charm of being a housewife.
Guan Kuo patted his head, thinking that he was really stupid, that voice was a little familiar, and it was Xu Mengshan who married Liu Yinian, so who else would "Mrs. Liu" be if she wasn't Xu Mengshan?
When Li Xiyun smiled at the people around him, he also greeted Xu Mengshan and said, "You look a lot more mature." ”
Xu Mengshan was stunned at first, and then blushed: "Yinian's child and I are already one and a half years old, we really have to be more mature, don't always make trouble for him." ”
At this moment, it was Guan Kuo's turn and Li Xiyun were stunned, and then the two of them looked at each other.
Li Xiyun knew what was going on in his head, glared at him, his face was also red, and said, "What do you see!?" ”
Guan Kuo smiled stupidly and looked away.
"What about that guy Liu Yinian, Lao Tie is married, you have arrived, and there is no reason why he should not come!"
"It's because you're late," another crisp female voice came from inside the door of the Iron Mansion: "He accompanied General Tie to the palace to pick up his relatives." ”
Guan Kuo raised his eyes and looked over, and saw that Liu Fanghao was wearing an emerald green lotus skirt, still with the lovely appearance of a small jasper, and beside her, there was a young man who was thin but looked very friendly.
He recognized that it was the third son of the Mao Mansion, and after the dispute between Tang and Wu, Lord Mao still saved himself and his family, which was difficult for them.
He immediately realized something, and asked in surprise: "Liu Fanghao, are you also married?" ”
"Do you mean I shouldn't be able to get married?" Liu Fanghao asked with a smile.
I haven't seen him for a day, such as every three autumns, not to mention that a few years have passed, whether it is Xu Mengshan or Liu Fanghao, they have become a lot more sophisticated, I can't imagine that people like Liu Fanghao have also learned to joke, Guan Kuo smiled, and said hello briefly to the third prince of Maofu, who was not too familiar but knew each other, and then chatted casually between several people.
Regarding Tie Shanwu's marriage, it was obvious that the Wuji family was not interested, and it was not a matter for the carriage to cross outside the Tiefu, so Gao Lin said hello and instigated the carriage to leave here, it should be to find a place to put it.
Tie Shan Wu has already taken his kiss, Guan Kuo touched his nose, thinking that it was so dangerous, if it was a little later, he would really miss Lao Tie's wedding, presumably Lao Tie would have his heart cut to death by then.
Chatting, the anxiety just now gradually dissipated, there were busy people in the Iron Mansion, some people he knew, some people he didn't know but had heard of them, and of course there were many people he didn't know. Perhaps the biggest safety is that when we meet many years later, it seems like we have never left.
Waiting is a long thing, but today is a happy event, so those waits are also full of joy.
The crowd began to converge towards the long street, the bustle became louder and louder, the view was obscured by people, and Guan Kuo couldn't see it very clearly, but the sound of gongs and drums was faintly heard in the distance.
