Chapter 120: The Big Wedding (Part II)
(daily update + pink 239 plus more)
"Alright, let's get on the road, don't delay the auspicious time." Lu stepped forward to help Yi Yu up, grabbed her right hand and held it heavily, looking at her intently, so as to keep this little daughter who was hurting into her heart in her eyes when she was the most beautiful, and said:
"Pingtong Pinghui, don't help your young lady get into the car."
"Yes, ma'am."
At the gate of the garden, Yu Tong had already driven out the incense cart wrapped in red and gold, and Lu Rongyuan, who came to see off his relatives as his uncle, also rode his horse to the side, and saw her mother and daughter entangled, and persuaded loudly:
"Let's go, don't miss the hour."
The two maids stepped forward to hold Yuyu's arm and were about to help her get into the car, but Yuyu held Lu's hand tightly and refused to let go, choking in her mouth:
"Mother, mother."
"Miss, it's time to go." Although Pingtong couldn't bear it, she had been specially explained by Mrs. Zhou before, and knew that she couldn't be soft-hearted at this time, so she and Pinghui exerted some strength to separate her mother and daughter, and let her whine and call Lu, and didn't ask her to stay longer, Dou and Zhao also stepped forward to hug Lu at the right time, and said auspicious words in their mouths to divert her attention.
"The bride is out" The bride is used to seeing this kind of scene, as soon as she shouted, the music sounded again, and the voices of the people who had just quieted around were noisy again, congratulating and congratulating, which diluted the scene of separation at once.
Li Tai moved two steps sideways, watched Yi Yu take two steps and turned around and was carried into the carriage, and when the pink curtain with incense ears was lowered, he bowed to the Lu family, and when he straightened his waist, he looked at Han Li standing in the crowd with a meaningful look, nodded slightly, then turned around and strode to the horse, buckled the saddle and turned over to ride, drove the feather to the front of the incense car, raised his hand, and said in a deep voice:
"Back to Beijing."
The music in the garden has not disappeared, and in the welcoming procession, there is another wave of music, Xiao Di sheng drum, but it is another melodious tune. As the incense cart turned around and slowly left, it revealed two more four-horse-drawn color caravans, twenty scribes sat on the railing, lupine scarves, in their prime, one hand with a shake, one hand with a board, knocking on the railing, Lang Sheng sang:
"Prepare for the salary, three stars in the sky. Tonight, what night, see this beloved. Zi Xi Zixi, such a good person why take precautions, three stars are in the corner. Tonight, what is the night, see this encounter. Zi Xi Zi Xi, such an encounter with He Miao Shu Chu, Samsung is at home. Tonight, what night, see this canon. Zi Xi Zi Xi, what is such a canon?"
Where have the visitors in the garden seen this kind of greeting battle, when they are amazed, they heard a sound of "swish" again, half of the hundred people outside the park rode the reins and turned the horse's head, followed the incense cart, two by two to protect its left and right, red-headed iron spear and silver armor, recovering and extending, Wensheng weapons, so not spectacular.
Suddenly, the crowd poured out of the garden, and there were women and girls with envious eyes and trance, and they did not know whether they remembered when they were married, or when they hoped to marry in the future.
Zhao's Dou family accompanied the Lu family, looking at the gold-beaded incense car BMW away, the former's expression was slightly gloomy, and the latter was envious, holding Lu's shoulder, and couldn't help but say:
"Lan Niang gave birth to a good daughter, King Wei treats him like this, he should value Yu'er."
Lu Shi didn't care about the sourness in her words, lowered his head and quickly wiped the moistness in the corners of his eyes, and asked Xiaoman to inform the makeup delivery team waiting in the outer courtyard early to keep up with the carriage and horses to welcome the relatives, and the attendants who accompanied the marriage also consciously followed to board the car.
The welcoming team left Longquan Town, Yiyu leaned on the car window, listening to the melodious poetry outside, the sadness of leaving home was diluted a lot, but the eyebrows were still not stretched, Pingtong Pinghui sat on both sides, and said loudly when he saw this:
"It's still going to be a little while, the slave will help you thrash, you can rest against the mat."
"It's fine."
Pinghui withdrew the small silk flower and gold shoes on her feet, helped her to lean on a few thick cushions, and pressed her legs and feet with moderate force, wearing this body is beautiful, but it is not related to comfort, the waist is tightly wrapped, and it is more uncomfortable to sit than to stand.
Pingtong was talking to Yiyu on the side, "Miss, you listen to the singing of the literati outside, it is not the same, and it sounds good." The slave and maid haven't heard of any family marrying such a person, and the prince treats you really hard, and can come up with such tricks. ”
Hearing this, Yi Yu immediately relaxed his eyebrows, a smile overflowed at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Although this idea is good, it is definitely not something he came up with." ”
Li Tai came to marry in person, and it was full of battles, but he would not be idle to fiddle with this kind of thing, most of the people below were ingenious, no matter whose idea it was, she was happy, if it was not Li Tai's approval, how could they dare to be in such a limelight.
There are also those five hypnotic poems, maybe it seems that these are made for outsiders to see, to make face for her bride, but only she knows in her heart that Li Tai is acting like this for her to see, just to make her feel at ease.
Ping Tong saw that Yu Yu smiled again, pondering Lu's explanation before going out, thinking that it was time, so he bent down and groped under the seat for a while, took out a pamphlet from the dark drawer, and handed it to Yu Yu without looking at it, and said:
"This is what Madame ordered to give to Miss."
"What's that?" Yi Yuhu took it suspiciously, opened a page casually, and found that this was a picture album at first glance, and at the second glance, he saw clearly that the two white little figures on it were scuffling together, and instantly understood what this thing was, and threw the album to the ground with a shake of his hand.
"Put it away first, I'm tired, squint for a while."
Pingtong looked at her own lady who closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, and her cheeks were flushed, first she looked at her because of this beauty, and then bent down to pick up the album, handed it over again, pretending not to know what was in this album, cleared her throat and said:
"Madame said that Miss just doesn't like it, and she must read two pages."
Yi Yu didn't want to tell Ping Tong that she didn't have to look at this to know the general process of that matter, so she had to open her eyes again, take the spring palace book with an embarrassed face, open it hard, and flip through two pages randomly, thinking about coping with it, but Yu Guang was aiming at something that shouldn't be seen, and when she thought of having to do such a private thing with Li Tai today, her back was numb, and her ears were burning, and she threw the booklet to Ping Tong with a red face, but those shameful pictures lingered in her mind.
Wei Wangfu today can be described as lively and extraordinary, the main entrance of a whole street has been decorated with red lights hanging colors, it is rare to open the door so open to the guests, from the morning, in front of the door there is an endless stream of cars and horses, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Du Chuke is outside to welcome guests, the sound of congratulations in front of the door is endless, the happy event is full of doors, there is a saying that the feast and the feast share the festive, can go to the bad luck, but where the wedding card is received, there is rarely anything absent.
In the inner courtyard, the red silk falls from the tree, the blanket mat is staggered, the wine and fruit tea are surplus, the guests who know each other can be seen everywhere to talk in pairs, the female guests are arranged to drink tea in the flower hall, and there is a high-ranking person who is personally led by the steward, in the driving hall, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, the king of Hejian Li Xiaogong is sitting in the town to entertain guests, the same dynasty is an official, are acquaintances, the king of Wei's big day, regardless of whether there is a festival, on the surface is a faction of harmony, no one will be stupid to find themselves bored on this kind of day.
The sun is rising, Du Chuke saw that there were fewer cars and horses in front of the door, but he had not yet seen the figure of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he was inevitably worried, the invitation of the eldest grandson's family was sent by him personally, but he was afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji would think about the old things, because the bride was born and did not come to the banquet today, and was looked at by people with a heart, which would affect the reputation of the palace.
He was purely worried in vain, the eldest grandson Wuji would not do such a thing that harmed others and was not beneficial to himself, although he did not arrive early, but at noon, people still appeared at the gate of the palace.
"Lord Eldest Sun," Du Chuke stepped forward to greet him before he could get out of the carriage, "You're late." ”
"Lord Du." The eldest grandson Wuji got out of the carriage, raised his hand at Du Chuke, and then turned around and helped someone down from the car, but it was a beauty in an orange dress and an apricot suit, with a pearl hairpin and jade hairpin, such a posture, there is only one plant in Chang'an City.
Du Chuke glanced sideways, even at his age, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled kindly at the other party, and turned to the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "A few princes are in the same room, Lord Tang is in the front hall, please here." ”
Changsun Xi followed the two into the Wei Palace, and was soon thought of by the guests who were chatting in the front yard, and noticed that a pair of eyes fell on her body, she had long been accustomed to this kind of amazing eyes, but today it was especially complacent for her, and it was in vain that she deliberately dressed up and chose this almost red but not unusual clothes.
Zhongshu Ling Fang Qiao, Hubu Shangshu Tang Jian, Chu King Li Kuan, Wu King Li Ke, Qi King Li You and others arrived early, sat with Li Xiaogong, from today's joy, on the matter of Tubo repeatedly coming to the court to ask for relatives, when they saw the eldest grandson Wuji's father and daughter come in, some people showed surprise, originally thought that he would not come at this time.
Changsun Xi sat down with Changsun Wuji, nodded back to Li Ke opposite and smiled, turned his head and saw Du Ruojin sitting diagonally opposite, after saying goodbye to Kui Xinglou that day, the two never saw each other in private, so they looked at each other, she nodded and smiled again, but he avoided it sideways, Changsun Xi frowned, and said with Changsun Wuji:
"Dad, my daughter goes out for a walk."
The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at her meaningfully, "It's an auspicious time soon, don't run around." ”
"My daughter knows." Being able to accompany her today was something she had asked for with great difficulty, and Changsun Xi naturally would not disobey his father's wishes, and after responding, he got up and said generously to Du Ruojin:
"Brother Du, I have a few coloring questions to ask, let's go outside and say, how about it?"
Du Ruojin pinched the wine glass in her hand, put it down, nodded to her, and left with her, most of the elders in the hall knew that the children of several families were friendly, and it was not surprising, only Li Ke's eyes were a little strange.
The two of them went out of the hall, and Changsun Xi took him to a quiet corner of the front yard and stopped, turned to stare at him, pouted his lips, twisted the corner of his clothes and whispered, "Brother Jin is still angry with me, I know it's wrong, I said the wrong thing in the building that day, I'm sorry, don't blame Xi'er, okay?" ”
With such a little daughter's posture and such a skin, I am afraid that if someone else comes, I don't even want to say anything, but Du Ruojin looked away and asked rhetorically:
"What you've done wrong, I don't know."
Almost grew up as a childhood sweetheart, she thought she was familiar with his temperament, but she didn't expect him to be so difficult to talk this time, Changsun Xi frowned with his head down, bit his red lip, and muttered:
"That day, I was really confused for a while, and I couldn't buy that painting when I was angry, and I spoke so that people could misunderstand you and her, and I told you the truth, I regretted it afterwards, and you know that the painting I bought for ten thousand taels of silver, I lost it when I went out. Today is obviously a happy event, but now I just want to cry uncomfortably, since I know about this family matter, I haven't been able to sleep well for half a month, Brother Jin, you are, you know my heart, you said that things have become like this, what else can I do, I can only do something stupid to dissipate my anger. ”
Du Ruojin listened to her Ai Ai talk, couldn't help but turn around, and was surprised to see two lines of tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, her heart softened, and she sighed:
"With your talent, you don't have to be like this, there are so many men in this world, although not all of them can match you, but there are great good people, too stubborn can only work hard and sad."
"I know," Changsun Xi looked up with a wry smile and said astringently, "Look, I can confess to you, I just don't want to be obsessed anymore, I saw it with my own eyes today, and I think I can die." Brother Jin, I was really wrong that day, don't be angry with me, okay? ”
Although Du Ruojin still has a mustard, but in the end the friendship with her when she was young, and there is a sense of falling into the world, seeing her wipe her tears on the back of her hand, she hesitated to reach out and handed her the towel she carried, "Okay, don't cry, just look at the time and wait for the person to greet the kiss will arrive, and I am afraid that I will be misunderstood if I am seen." ”
"Well," Changsun Xi took the handkerchief and lowered his head, "You go back to the hall first, I'll be alone quietly." ”
"It's fine." Du Ruojin patted her on the shoulder and turned around.
Listening to the footsteps in the distance, she took out a small mirror from her cuff, turned around and avoided behind the tree to wipe it, until the person in the mirror hooked the corners of her mouth again, and her face was powdered, but it was not spent at all, and it was still amazingly beautiful.
When the welcoming team arrived at Yankangfang, the Wei Wangfu had already received the news, temporarily put aside the prejudice of the jade, Du Chuke happily led all the guests to the door to wait for the newcomers, waiting to see the lively abounds, the result is that the three outer layers of the gate are all over the outside, and high-ranking officials and celebrities abound, fortunately, the palace is closely investigated, and there are soldiers around it, so as not to mix in the assassins.
"Here it is, here it is"
Fang listened to the sound of music, in the crowd, I don't know who shouted first, everyone looked east, and saw the first few horses and horses to ride, the pink tent incense car rattle and back, the red silk rolling, the soldiers and horses protect each other, the horses' hooves trampling, walking slowly, such as stepping on the clouds, those who do not know are also the day guests into the dust, and hear the sound of Lang Lang poetry endlessly, humming, is singing:
"Mandarin ducks are flying, Bi Zhiluo, a gentleman is ten thousand years, and Fu Lu is appropriate. The mandarin duck is in the beam, the left wing of the mandarin duck, the gentleman is ten thousand years, and it is appropriate to be blessed. Riding a horse in the stable, destroying it, a gentleman for ten thousand years, and Fu Lu Ai. Riding a horse in the stable, the destruction of the straw, the gentleman for ten thousand years, and the blessing of the discouraged. ”
A poem, the joy of the newlywed, the appearance of men and women is said to be heavenly, everyone began to return from a trance, and then looked at the carriage and horse that greeted the relatives, and there were many discussions, Du Chuke did not know that the team to welcome the relatives would be like this, and when he heard the four discussions, he was mostly praised, and his face was inevitably a little proud.
"Second Emperor Brother, you see that the fourth brother is different from us, even marrying is so special." Li Ke joked with Li Kuan, he got a smile from the other party, he only ate Li Tai a loss in the bow competition at the beginning of the month, and now he can appear here, and he can also dispel those rumors that he is dissatisfied with Li Tai, among the princes, as long as they are smart people, they all know the phenomenon of brotherly discord, and they can only be in secret.
On the other end, several princesses and princesses stood together with the female guests, and the eldest grandson whispered the song "Mandarin Duck", looking at the Junzhuo figure led by the street getting closer and closer, although he was ready for everything, he still had a cramp in his heart. Once upon a time, she also had such a situation in her dream, he was wearing a red robe, a golden crown and green shoes, handsome and uncast, and now the dream seems to come true, but she does not sit in the incense cart behind him.
Chengyang fiddled with the jade pendant on his waist, and said on the same side: "Princess Wei, who will pass through the door, is a good fate, such a style, it is even more beautiful than when she was married in this palace." ”
A group of women laughed stupidly, and someone answered, "The princess said that she laughed, whether this scenery is beautiful or not, it is not only the wedding procession that you want to see, but also the woman's dowry." ”
"Yes, yes," there was a response, and there was no shortage of a few sneering faces.
I don't know that there are people waiting outside to watch a good show, in the incense car, Pingtong Pinghui doesn't know how many times to check the clothes for the jade, to make sure that the hairpin ring is not crooked, not a single hair is missing, then handed the fan to her, nervously pasted behind the door curtain, pay attention to the movement outside.
Listening to the sound of people outside, Yi Yu was not relaxed at this time, according to the rules, she didn't have any communication with Li Tai along the way, and she didn't even see the groom's figure, thinking that she would be helped out of the carriage by him later, leading the brazier and the saddle, she was very nervous, for fear that something would go wrong later, and kept fiddling with the fan in her hand, both expecting and worried, and her palms were tired and sweaty.
The procession soon came to the gate of the palace, Li Tai dismounted in a burst of congratulations and laughter, walked to the side of the incense cart, Fang stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the wall of the car, and heard the official of the Ministry of Rites at the door shouting in a loud voice:
"Welcoming the bride through the door"
Several palace maids who were waiting on the side trotted out with big red lucky bags, and everyone got out of the way, and they squatted down and paved the mats from the carriage one by one, which was to let the bride enter the door without touching the ground.
Yi Yu sat in the car, her heart was beating fast involuntarily, she was called twice by Pingtong Pinghui, before she raised the fan, nodded and motioned for them to lift the curtain, blindly stretched out a hand, helped out by Pingtong, she just bent down and got up, the hand changed hands, and a big palm held her firmly, the warmth and tightness from the back of the hand actually made her tremble lightly, and the next moment, she couldn't help but lean out of the car with him involved, and the surrounding lights were bright, and the human voice burst out, not as well as she carefully stepped on the frame, and the waist was tight, Pressed against a broad chest, the foot had fallen to the ground.
When the guests outside the door saw that King Wei directly hugged the delicate bride and got out of the car, and held her waist and put it on the lucky bag, they laughed, and some people even had the audacity to quip:
"King Wei has waited, so it's better to send it directly to the cave room."
"Hahaha"
Li Tai didn't care at all, as if he didn't hear their laughter, but Yiyu's ears were not deaf, of course, when he heard this teasing, he only felt more and more dizzy and hot, and reached out his right hand and nudged him, but after he helped her stand up, he took a step back, didn't stand next to her, just held her hand, and firmly made people unable to break free.
Li Tai let go of his body, and everyone saw the bride's appearance, although he didn't see his face, but his delicate figure and fair complexion were set against the backdrop of a golden and red wedding dress, which was eye-catching, and everyone had a love for beauty.
From the carriage to the front of the palace, there are three or five zhang away, in front of the lucky bag, Li Tai pulled the jade one by one to step over, because of the eyes around him too much staring at the side of the eyes to make him dislike, so he walked faster, and when the door stopped, and someone put on the saddle, brazier, he slowed down, carefully led her over, and waited for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to sing the greetings.
Yi Yu stepped on the brazier in a daze, knowing that Li Tai was by her side, she took a lot of effort to resist not moving the fan to look at him, but he was silent, she could only see a blurred figure through the fan, as well as the corners of the clothes on the vermilion side below, and the black boots that were slightly stained with earth.
A few greetings were read for a long time, and Yu Yu's left hand was held by him and covered in his long sleeves, and the staggered palms were sticky and I don't know whose sweat it was, so stuffy heart was hot, but I didn't want to break away, and the uneasiness along the way seemed to be quickly consumed in this quiet pull, and she didn't even need half a word, as long as she knew that he was by her side.
Before the congratulatory was finished, among the guests who were waiting in front of the door, there was a sudden commotion, and after the procession to welcome the relatives dispersed to both sides, the shape of a car frame suddenly appeared on the east street, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was the bride's dowry procession.
A group of women rushed to the front, pointed to the stupid wooden boxes accumulated on the first few rack cars, and said one after another: "Look, I don't even lift the lid of the box, I don't know what good things are inside." ”
Princess Wu picked at her newly repaired nails and said, "Xu is a gold brick and a silver brick, I'm afraid it will make people red." ”
Someone covered his mouth and smiled, and Chengyang squinted and said, "You can't dig gold when you are her family." ”
"It's not certain, Huai Guogong was also a gentry back then." Changsun Xi finally opened his mouth, causing a lot of visits, and smiled slightly, "People say that emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and they can always come up with some good things to support the scene." ”
"Poof", someone heard her sarcasm, and couldn't help laughing, the eldest grandson showed a pair of sweet nests on his cheeks, and was about to say something more, when he heard someone in front of him suddenly whisper:
"Oh my God, voila"
The convoy of makeup turned a corner on the street, and gradually revealed the shape behind the first few cars, not counting the two or three wooden boxes, which made people scream, but it was fixed with red silk, standing upright on the board of the Hetian green jade screen, eight wide and six high, the workmanship of pure jade only wrapped in a circle of shining gold in the corners, no need to think about it to know that it was gold, so far away you can also see the looming relief above, this one is not rare, rare is that it follows, there is exactly the same other white jade screen.
After that, more than a dozen carriages were all inlaid with jade and gold furniture, although it was not as amazing as the pure jade, but so many placed together, it also made people smack. What jade case, jade stool, jade table, jade dressing table, jade cabinet, jade platform, jade hanger, jade pulling bed, etc., etc., all are a set of white jade noodles embedded in the fine rosewood, and a set of green jade noodles embedded in the yellow rosewood.
Only these two sets of furniture, it makes many people jaw-dropping, mahogany, sandalwood furniture to see a lot, who has seen this set of delicate objects with beautiful jade
“... Today can be regarded as an eye-opener, this Lu family is not a gold digger, but a jade maker."
There was an uproar in the crowd again, and no one even noticed after the congratulatory speech was recited, not to mention Lu Rongyuan, how did Lu Rong and his brothers think when they saw these things that should have been sold by Old Man Lu ten years ago, the color on Du Chuke's face alone was wonderful.
Chengyang frowned, looking at this too windy and endless dowry team with some displeasure, but turned his head to face the hideous color on the face of the eldest Sun Xi that had not had time to be withdrawn, darkened his eyes, shook off the jade ornament on his waist, and suddenly smiled:
"I don't know who I heard before, the Lu family ordered two sets of sour jujube wood furniture in the workshop, and the palace still believed it, Xi'er, what you said is right, this skinny camel is bigger than a horse, but if you can use this battle to support the scene, this camel is inevitably too big."
Changsun Xi reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth to deal with it, but he didn't look at the coquettish convoy behind the two sets of furniture, and the light blue handkerchief in his hand silently wrapped around his fingers a few times, pulling hard.
Although the jade can't be seen, just by listening to the outsiders also know that outsiders are amazed, but the heart is mixed, that day when she saw this dowry list, she was surprised, but did not forget to refuse, so fanfare, the harm outweighed the benefits, but her mother didn't know why, insisted on doing a big deal, only said that this is the scenery of her life, even if there is trouble, it is worth it.
Li Tai noticed the discomfort of the villain around him, glanced sideways at the crowd that had been fascinated by the "vigorous" dowry, and then snorted coldly and said:
"The auspicious time is coming, and we will not continue."
Everyone turned back and forth, their faces were embarrassed, and they all converged the strangeness in their eyes, Du Chuke coughed dryly twice, pulled the official of the Ministry of Rites, and hurriedly put away the scroll in his hand, cleared his throat, and said:
"Bride Primer"
The relict jade was pulled by Li Tai, crossed the threshold, and obediently followed his steps, walking towards the Qinglu in the southwest of the Wei Palace. The guests also followed in a sparse manner, and Du Chuke hesitated, summoned the steward, and then called a pair of guards to take care of the delicate dowry in front of the door, so as not to bump into it.
Turn right into the door, go straight ahead, pass through the long corridor, step on the splendid felt carpet, and walk to the front of the Qinglu, Yiyu and Li Tai still did not have a conversation, she listened to the arrangement of the ceremonial officer one by one, until she stood in front of the futon, he let go of his hand.
"The Bride and the Husband"
As soon as her heart was empty, she heard the official ask her to bow, and the word "husband" instantly filled her heart, and her fingers rubbed the moisture in her palm, and she leaned down and bowed.
"Get up." If she had removed the fan at this moment, she would have been able to see the sparkle in his eyes.
"Goodbye"
Yi Yu straightened up, looked at the vague figure, and bowed her back in front of her, for some reason, she could feel that this person was sincerely worshipping once in his life, his throat suddenly became dry, his lips trembled, and he stretched out his hand to help him, and the next moment, he was caught steadily.
(First, wait until you're done eating to catch bugs.) Thank you Xia Qin, Bing Ning Bingqing, and Tian Tian Mom 888 for his relatives. )
