Chapter 191: The Big Wedding (1)
Xiaoyu's explanation of the sand table naturally said that she saw that her predecessors had done it in miscellaneous books, and she wanted to play it on a whim.
"Sister, is my grandfather okay with his old man, and Cousin Allaha hasn't seen him for a long time!" Murong Hua asked.
Murong Bing's face suddenly flashed a suspicious red, and she said in a low voice: "Grandpa, he died the year before last, and you were the most worried about him when he was dying, but it's a pity that you couldn't come back when you were far away in Datan at that time!" As for Cousin Allaha, he ...... He's the leader of the Abagu tribe now! ”
Speaking of Allaha, Murong Bing's expression began to become unnatural.
Murong Hua didn't notice the change in Murong Bing's face, he was just shocked by the news of his grandfather's death.
"Sister, why hasn't anyone told me the news of my grandfather's death after so long!" Murong Hua looked at Murong Bing with tears in his eyes.
Murong Bing lowered his head and sighed, "I asked them to block the news from you." Younger brother! Murong Hua continued to meet Murong Hua's inquiring eyes: "Grandpa's favorite in the past was you, if you know the news of Grandpa's death, you will definitely run back despite the ban." At that time, the eldest concubine and Murong Che were originally planning to want you to die outside, and at that time, you had only one way to die when you returned to the grassland! ”
Murong Bing paused for a moment and said, "But don't worry, Abagubu, the Abagu Department will always support you, and the 10,000 sons of the Abagu Department are willing to serve you!" ”
Hearing this, Murong Hua stood up and said, "If this is the case, I will definitely get rid of Murong Che's mother and son and avenge our mother and concubine!" ”
Murong Bing looked at Murong Hua with satisfaction and said, "Brother, you have finally grown up, and the eagle of the grassland has finally spread its wings!" ”
Murong Hua's fist clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched, hesitated for a moment and said: "Second prince, county lord, sister, with your support, I will definitely succeed!" At this moment, he clenched his fists tightly, his face was solemn, and his eyes flashed with confidence.
After the four of them discussed, they acted separately, Murong Bing was responsible for liaising with Allaha, the second prince was responsible for arranging the border army and the royal forest army, and Murong Hua seized the time to meet the right minister and probe his tone.
Several people have something to do, but Xiaoyu has nothing to do, according to the words of the second prince, she only needs to play a good and friendly county lord. However, communication with Moon Gongzi must be established.
Xiao Yu asked Bai Fubai Rong to find a way to leave a secret mark in the royal city, and she knew that Yue Gongzi would definitely send someone to follow her secretly.
After discussing with the officials of the Ministry of Rites in Beiqiang, the second prince chose September 18 as the auspicious day for the wedding, and before the wedding, he married the lord of Anping according to the custom of Datan.
The day of the wedding is less than half a month, and both parties must be in full swing. The reason why it was so hasty was because after the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, even if the best ginseng was used to hang his life, the life of Murong Yu, the king of Beiqiang, would be less than a month.
Therefore, holding a wedding ceremony in such a hurry may not have some joy in it.
The Ministry of Rites first cleaned up a courtyard near Honglu Temple as a temporary residence for the county lord, and the sedan chair will come to the door to marry.
Then the place where Xiaoyu temporarily lived in the palace was used as the residence after the marriage of the eldest child, regardless of the attitude of the concubine, the Ministry of Rites still arranged the personnel to repair the entire palace step by step.
Due to the urgency of time, after exchanging marriage letters, the officials of the Ministry of Rites simplified the Nacai, the name, the Najib, and the Nazheng together.
On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the two Quanfu ladies came to the door with two geese and a dowry. These two Quanfu daughters can be regarded as Murong Hua's distant aunts, both of whom are blessed with husbands, parents, and in-laws, and both children under their knees.
According to the customs of Datan, when accepting the levy, a letter of appointment and a letter of gift will be sent, and the gift list of 20 pages will almost dazzle Xiaoyu's eyes. The eldest concubine is really going to plan to plate, this dowry is unusually rich, but Xiaoyu is going to marry into the palace, she has no relatives in Beiqiang, these rich dowries, when the time comes, will still follow Xiaoyu back to the palace.
The second prince and Commander Cui acted as the woman's relatives, and they had already prepared a return gift, and bulky things such as furniture as a dowry were also moved into the palace early.
After these procedures are completed, it is already September 15, and Xiaoyu will marry Murong Che in three days. And they made an appointment to do it on the wedding day of the county lord on September 18.
The four of them have already brainstormed and discussed the specific way, and they have also contacted Yue Gongzi, who said that if they fail, as long as they can get out of the royal city, he can ensure that they can safely reach the two areas of Gagar for refuge.
But Murong Hua's contact with the right minister was not smooth, the old man was silent and stubborn, Murong Hua came to the door many times to ask to see, and he gave Murong Hua a big closed door.
"County lord, why don't you let the slave marry instead of you!" Early in the morning of September 18, Bai Fu woke up Xiaoyu from a sweet dream, looking at Xiaoyu's confused eyes, Bai Fu couldn't suppress the tension in her heart and blurted out.
"Bai Fu, take it easy, you see that Bai Rong is very calm, what should you do!" Xiao Yu said as she flipped through the notes she had made herself.
The wedding process is cumbersome, and in the past few days, the Beiqiang Rite Department has specially sent a female official to explain the Beiqiang marriage customs and several processes that Xiaoyu needs to participate in when the big wedding is held.
As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, so Xiaoyu also took a lot of notes, and Xiaoyu took it in his hand to watch it when he was free these days.
Bai Rong walked in with her head down at this moment and said, "County Lord, look at what you said, the slave maid is also very panicked in her heart!" ”
Xiao Yu glanced at the two stern-faced maids and said: "Today's wedding of the county lord, what are you two doing with a sad face, don't you like it, Mother Zhang will nag again when she sees it later!" ”
Mother Zhang was personally assigned to Xiaoyu by Concubine Xian, and she can be regarded as Concubine Xian's confidant, but Xiaoyu doesn't like this Mother Zhang, just because this mother-in-law has been peeping outside the hall for a long time, and Xiaoyu is really bored.
Talking is talking, but Bai Fu is a subordinate who keeps talking, and in a few clicks, he gave Xiaoyu a hibiscus bun. "Help me up and change my wedding dress!" Xiao Yu looked at himself in the mirror and commanded.
Xiaoyu's wedding dress is in accordance with the county officiating ceremony, the red auspicious dress is embroidered with flying Zhai birds, and the wide robe has large sleeves. But under this gorgeous wedding dress, Xiao Yu is wearing a strong suit, and a dagger is tied diagonally to his thighs.
"The county lord Ji Ren Tianxiang will definitely turn the danger into a disaster!" Bai Rong was a little superstitious at the moment, clasping her hands together and praying.
Xiaoyu changed into auspicious clothes, painted makeup, and waited for Murong Che to come to the door to propose.
"It's coming, it's coming!" With the little maids who came and went, Xiao Yu simply sent a delicate sachet to each messenger, which was the mint spice she had prepared.
With the voice of the last little girl, Zhang's mother took out a red hijab depicting dragons and phoenixes and put it on the head of the little fish. Xiao Yu only felt that his eyes were dark, and he was already under the hijab.
"Huh?" As the noisy voices got closer and closer, Xiao Yu heard Bai Fu let out a small exclamation.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu covered his head and couldn't see anything, so he couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Beiqiang welcomes Murong Huate to marry the county lord of Anping on behalf of his brother, and invites the county lord to get on the sedan chair!" No matter how noisy the voice outside was, the voice of the person who greeted the relatives came loudly, and it was not Murong Che, but Murong Hua.
"How are you?" Xiao Yu didn't care about anything else, if it weren't for Zhang's mother who saw the opportunity and had gently pressed the hijab with her hand, the hijab would have been lifted by Xiao Yu a long time ago.
"The county lord can't, it's unlucky to lift the hijab, and bear with it!" After speaking, Zhang's mother also touched two pieces of gold silk cake empathetically.
"The prince is slightly ill, so he sent Xiao Wang to replace the greeting, and please don't blame the county lord!" Murong Hua's voice came low, but Xiao Yu was like a dream. Worshipping heaven and earth with Murong Hua, as long as he thinks of this scene, Xiao Yu will have all kinds of helplessness in his heart.
Because there was no high hall to say goodbye, Xiao Yu simply made a big bow towards the location of Datan Capital. After bidding farewell to the high hall, Xiaoyu was carried by the second prince and entered his sedan chair without touching the ground.
The sedan chair of Beiqiang is very unique, it is not as spacious as the sedan chair of Datan, but very simple. The sedan chair could only accommodate two people to sit down, and there were eight people in front and behind to carry the sedan chair.
Xiao Yu held the vase in his arms and carefully sat into the sedan chair. The sedan chair was very small, but fortunately, Xiaoyu herself was not fat, but the bumps in the sedan chair made her drowsy, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.
Xiaoyu's place of residence is not far from the Beiqiang Palace, but because the people of the whole city have rushed to watch this rare grand occasion of harmony in a hundred years, the whole road is full of people watching the excitement.
Seeing Xiaoyu's sedan chair come out, loud cheers rang out on both sides of the street.
"Look at it, look at it, this Anping County Lord is really good-looking!" A woman muttered.
"Yes, if it weren't for seeing the county lord, I really couldn't imagine the demeanor of Datan's ladies!" The other woman spoke.
It's a pity that these heartfelt compliments Xiaoyu can't be heard, and she has fallen into a dream at the moment.
The second prince had entered the new house of Xiaoyu in the Beiqiang Palace several times with different border troops and soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army in batches on the grounds of measuring the size and playing furniture. Through unremitting efforts in the past few days, they finally figured out the basic layout of the Beiqiang Palace, as well as the location of the palace where Murong Che lived.
Araha's troops have also infiltrated the royal city in batches, and once the little fish and the others have succeeded, the people of Araha will create chaos in the city so that the little fish and the others can retreat safely.
The route of escaping in time if one hit is missed has been discussed many times, and except for the royal palace, the rest have already been surveyed on the spot.
