Chu State, Anzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Counting up, Xiaohe has not been short since he came to Anzhou. Winter goes to spring, spring flowers bloom, and spring March is late with bright sunshine.

The day of marriage has finally arrived.

Early in the morning, Yang Wei, the general, came out of the house, looked at the magpies on the kapok tree in the yard and screamed happily, and couldn't help laughing: "This bird is interesting, knowing that today is a good day for our grandfather to be happy and the princess to get married, and I also rushed over to join in the fun." ”

According to the customs of the Chu State, it is best to go to the new house to make a bed for the newlyweds, and it is best to have a five-blessed woman whose parents are alive, have a husband and children, and have both children and daughters, which is said to be able to be happy.

Although today is the day of the wedding, the festival has actually been busy for several months.

Since the day he decided to marry Yang Tianhong, Anzhou has actually been preparing for today's wedding.

From drawing up the list of treats, to preparing dishes, and all the places in the mansion are renovated, the subordinates of the family make new clothes, and even all the Zhuangzi under the name of Duke Yiyong, and the generals stationed abroad, there will be various rewards.

It's still done in a hurry. If you change to an ordinary family, you have to prepare for at least a year.

In the south of the city, in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Xiaohe hurriedly ate a little breakfast with some nervousness, and was welcomed to the bath room in the inner room by two personal maids, and began to groom from head to toe.

Anju has a lot of spring water, and the best sweet spring water is boiled with old ginseng, and flower petals and essential oils are placed. It is said that this kind of thing is most suitable for women who have just gotten married. Xiaohe took off his clothes and soaked in it for half an hour, when he got up. The skin of the whole body is crystal pink. It's like a red haze of smoke.

Although she is still young, she is already as tall as an eighteen-year-old girl. As soon as his body moved, the towering height on his chest swayed, which was thrilling to watch. The two tiny powders on the top timidly grew in the wind and slowly stood upright. What's even more surprising is that such a plump chest, but the waist is extremely slender, as if it has been carved by skillful hands, and the round curve suddenly shrinks at the waist, and it is held in a frustration. But it's not obtrusive, because further down is the buttocks that are almost as plump and soft as the front chest.

When I stood up from the tub, two small swirls appeared between my hips and waist, and I couldn't help but want to press them with my hands and feel the soft touch.

Although Xiaohe is not tall, the proportions are extremely well-proportioned, the legs are white and slender, the feet are small, and the toes are round. Although Emperor Shunming did not personally take care of Xiaohe since he was a child, Uncle Changle Wang loved this niece in every way. Especially in terms of women's education, they do not hesitate to spend a lot of money.

Women are raised. After being raised in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion for several months, the little lotus who had traveled all the way from the capital and made a disgraced face was no longer what it was before. The skin of her whole body. Including hands and feet, I finally raised it back. Peeling off the cocoons that came out of the hard work, the skin is as flawless as a freshly peeled egg.

The chest is high, the waist is thin, the buttocks are plump, and the curve of the side is breathless.

But all of this added up can't compare to the brilliance in her phoenix eyes.

The black and white eyes are obviously covered with a layer of moisture, but they are more moist and translucent under the wash.

When looking at people, his eyes rolled, as if he could speak, and he wanted to speak.

The two maids looked straight at the sight. Speaking of which, they are all henchmen around Yang Tianhong, and they are also beautiful women who are used to seeing rich and noble families. But compared to Princess Wenyuan in front of them, those people are simply a world of difference between a local chicken and a phoenix. Sure enough, he was born royal and noble, no matter his temperament and appearance, Xiaohe is a first-class leader.

Even in front of the woman, Xiaohe still felt a little shy. She smiled, pulled the large square scarf that was on the screen shelf next to her and wrapped it around herself, and said to the two maids in disgust, "You guys...... Have you seen enough?"

The two surprised maids came back to their senses, nodded embarrassedly, and hurriedly replied, "That's enough...... Enough is enough......"

Xiaohe glanced at them, then lay down on the wooden couch in the bath room, and asked them to massage their whole body with the secret balm specially made by Yang Tianhong, and then wrapped it in a thick cotton cloth, waited for half an hour, untied it, and then rinsed it with water.

After coming back and forth like this three times, it can be regarded as taking care of the skin of the whole body. When the newlyweds get married, it is really troublesome. However, this kind of thing happens only once in a lifetime. Of course, it's going to be grand.

When Xiaohe finished tidying up her body and finally sat down in front of the dressing table, ready to let the combing lady who specially invited her comb her hair, it was almost noon.

This room is deep in the inner courtyard of the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion, and the sound from outside can't be heard.

But today is the marriage between Duke Yiyong and the royal family of Chu State, and it is also a grand event for the whole Chu State.

The only regret is that the wedding scene can only be held in Anzhou, not in Beijing. Yang Tianhong was not stupid enough to return to the capital with Xiaohe and take the initiative to throw himself into the net. Since there is already a marriage contract between himself and Xiaohe, then he will simply cut through the mess quickly and marry the woman he likes first.

From the early morning at the entrance of the palace, there are gongs and drums outside, which makes the weather in early spring a bit of a hot summer atmosphere.

According to the customs of the Chu State, the worship is in the evening. Yang Tianhong will bring a sedan chair to the embassy before sunset to welcome her to the sedan chair. As for the so-called doors...... Yang Tianhong had already built another duke's mansion in the east of the city. After marriage, it is a comfortable place for two people.

Xiaohe looked at his face in the mirror, and his heart was sweet.

The gesture of the combing lady was light and delicate, and she quickly curled a peony bun for her, and then put a full weight of five phoenix beads and hairpins on her head, pressing her neck to shrink.

Xiaohe looked at the mirror and looked at himself wearing a phoenix crown and a red peony dress, and smiled lightly. The heart is full of satisfaction.

After today, she will be his wife.

A maid walked in and glanced inquiringly at the hair-dressing lady.

The lady with her hair smiled and nodded, indicating that she was all done here.

Next, there is a special makeup lady to put makeup on Xiaohe.

After all, she is the princess of the Great Chu Kingdom. In any case, Yang Tianhong has to give an explanation to the woman who likes him and loves deeply, and a name that can be said in front of the whole world.

......

At this moment, in the capital of the Great Chu State, the main street between the outer courtyard of the Yang Mansion and the Imperial Palace was also crowded with dense crowds, all of whom had occupied a good position here since dawn, and they were looking at this grand wedding with their eyes open.

It is said that it is a wedding, but in fact, it is to carry various dowry gifts from the outer courtyard of the Yang Mansion and walk through the street to the palace.

In the Qinzheng Palace, Emperor Shunming sat on the dragon chair, without the slightest change in emotion on his face, but his eyes seemed cloudy.

Yang Tianhong took out a dowry of 5,000 lifts.

According to the folk customs of the Great Chu State, the marriage of ordinary people is nothing more than a variety of dowry. The so-called lift is two Chinese characters, one in front and one in the back, with shelves full of expensive gifts in the middle. These shelves are made of fine mahogany, and the workmanship is exquisite, and the dowry placed in them is either a variety of gold and silver jewelry, or a title deed. In short, as long as it is a dowry agreed upon by both parties, it will be put out on this day as a symbol of the excitement of the two families and each other's identity.

Of course, it is impossible for ordinary people to spend gold and silver on marriage, at most it is rice and grain cakes, plus various pastries made in advance, and strings of copper coins that have been exchanged in advance. Although copper coins are always worth one or two pieces of silver, the area occupied by silver is obviously not as large as that of copper coins. Generally speaking, ten times enough money can already fill a lifting rack, and it can also make people look very tempting.

The marriage letter from Anzhou was sent over last year. Emperor Shunming felt that it was very hot, and Yang Tianhong simply used the marriage book as a fold. It is clearly written: He wants to marry Princess Wenyuan in Anzhou.

As for the dowry...... According to the rules of the Zongren Mansion, the status of the royal family members is very noble, especially the princess of a country, and the dowry is at least two hundred. Of course, if it is such a big gift as the emperor and queen, then the dowry will be at least 300 or more.

Yang Tianhong, a bastard, actually took out a dowry of 5,000 at one time!

Is this intentional in the outer courtyard of the Yang Mansion? Or are you marrying a fairy concubine?!

In addition to Emperor Shunming, there are also many important ministers in the court and the palace are also in the palace of Qinzheng. Everyone was troubled by what was going to happen today and found it tricky.

The courtiers had read the appendix on the marriage book. 5,000 bride price......

All the people in the court were petrified by this sentence.

In the thousands of years since the founding of Great Chu, I'm afraid no one has ever given such a heavy dowry, right?

A lot of people are muttering in their hearts.

Nima, what is the concept of 5,000 lifts? This is to obstruct the traffic of the capital! From the outer courtyard of the Yang Mansion to the imperial city, I am afraid that even if you walk for a whole day, you may not be able to complete it. If this continues, the order in the capital is not chaotic?

In fact, there are no certain rules for the dowry in the Great Chu Dynasty. Except for the Son of Heaven marrying a wife, there are laws that stipulate various etiquette and rules, and there are no legal restrictions on other families. How much you can come up with depends on your own ability and ability. Of course, within the same family, there are also some unwritten rules. For example, the dowry of the younger brother to marry a wife cannot exceed that of the elder brother, otherwise it will be indistinguishable from the young and the old, which will cause discord in the family.

But this situation, of course, has no impact on Yang Tianhong.

The outer courtyard of the Yang Mansion itself is only Yang Tianhong alone. He himself is the eldest son here, and if he marries a wife, even if it is a dowry of 10,000 yuan, no one dares to say that he is too much. As long as he can take it out, as long as he is willing to take it out. Not to mention that he can get the 5,000 dowry on his own, let's just say that his grandfather Guangping waited for Yang Rong, and he couldn't interfere in this matter.

This is a slap in the face!

In order to show the sincerity of the outer courtyard of the Yang Mansion, and Yang Tianhong himself is also the hussar general of the Chu State, the Duke of Yiyong, so the people who gave the dowry this time were all the generals of the outer courtyard of the Yang Mansion, as well as the Xuanhuo soldiers placed by Yang Yi in the capital.

Outside the imperial city, Yang Dashan and Yang Dahai and dozens of soldiers of the Yang family who were dressed in armor were divided into left and right sides, carrying four geese on the left and right.

According to the ancient rites, the dowry must have a wild goose, which is also called "the gift of the wild goose".

However, geese are rare now, and they fly too high and are not easy to fight, so most people use two geese instead.

But Yang Tianhong's dowry must have been a genuine wild goose, and they personally called it back.

The dowry must be an even number. Take the auspicious meaning of "pairs in pairs".

It's also funny to say, Anzhou is getting married today, and the capital is coming to the door with a dowry today. This kind of thing is obviously not in accordance with the rules, but Anzhou Mountain is far away from the emperor, and no one can control so much. In short, this is a farce in the eyes of the discerning person, a comedy that seems lively and cheerful to outsiders.

Yang Dahai shouted on the side: "First lift: the gift of accepting geese! Eighty-eight new geese!"

Each sergeant carried four geese in his hand and entered the gate of the palace with his head held high.

Dongfang Kong, the head of the chamberlain, had a wry smile on his face, and glanced at Yang Dashan a little speechlessly. He said in a low voice: "It's not so practical, you are deliberately making Your Majesty feel uncomfortable." ”

Yang Dashan didn't make a sound, but just held his chest higher. The young master said in the letter that today's dowry must be absolutely imposing. Let everyone in the capital know that the Yang family and themselves must not be provoked or despised.

Yang Dahai took the dowry booklet there and continued to read: "The second lift: the gift of the deer! There are eight sika deer, white-lipped deer, nine-colored deer, and black water deer!"

The dowry is a whole deer, which is already an ancient etiquette.

The most prudent of the Great Chu Dynasty was to use deerskin as a dowry.

The people present saw that the deer that were carried up showed awe, and they all knew that this dowry was extraordinary.

"The third lift: two thousand-year-old ginseng!"

Hearing this, the people who came to see the excitement were excited.

"What?! I heard you right? The thousand-year-old ginseng that is hard to buy is actually used for hiring? Or is it just two at once? Tut-tut-tut! This is a big deal! You know, even the immortals who cultivate in the deep mountains are very much in need of thousand-year-old ginseng!"

Yang Dahai was still reading out the bridal gift.

“...... The ninth lift, 999 pieces of the best silver fox skin, 999 pieces of white bear skin, and 999 pieces of white tiger skin. ”

“...... The thirty-seventh lift, the best lake silk and all kinds of clothing, each nine hundred and ninety-nine horses. ”

“...... Seven hundred and eighty-five lifts, jade head, blue diamond inlaid gold head, silk silver and blue flower head, the best Nanzhu head, fragrant jade night pearl head, each nine hundred and ninety-nine boxes. ”

“...... The 1,000th and 40th lift, South China Sea rosewood, Afangzhou mahogany, Zhongzhou huanghuali, Beidi golden silk nanmu, Jizhou Shuiyin wood, 999 wood of various colors. ”

“...... The three thousand seven hundred and eighty-four lifts, the deed paper of the shops in Ping'anfang in the capital, a total of one hundred. ”

It's too much, it's too much.

All of them are gold, pearls, and silver treasures, and all of them are precious goods. It is also thanks to Yang Tianhong who is in charge of Anzhou, and the Meng family firm and the Ping An firm are surrounded by gold and silver in the world, otherwise the 5,000 dowry will really not be able to come out. However, the current Yang Tianhong is by no means comparable to the young man in the past. He just wanted to use this way to declare to Emperor Shunming and the entire Great Chu State: If anyone dares to fight Lao Tzu's idea again, let's see if you can withstand your own anger?

Emperor Shunming is not a fool, of course he can understand the meaning.

He was furious, and felt a rush of anger rush over his head. If he could, Emperor Shunming really wanted to pull out his sword and break Yang Tianhong, who was far away in Anzhou, into pieces.

That's right, I was indeed very optimistic about Yang Tianhong in the past, and felt that he was a master sent by God to save Dachu. But no matter what, Da Chu is still my Da Chu, the whole world is not the king's land, and the king's land is not the king's minister. Since you, Yang Tianhong, are my courtiers, you should obey my orders. Now, you dare to disrespect the order and refuse to enter Beijing...... What do you want to do? Also, you are in Anzhou, but you put on such a luxurious and grand dowry in the capital, what kind of heart do you have?

Li Shengjie and the others stood at the foot of the jade steps, also silent.

Yang Tianhong's actions are clearly illegal. According to the usual practice, it should be conscripted by the imperial court.

But this kind of thing is just thinking about it in everyone's stomach. What are you kidding? The name of Duke Yang Tianhong Yiyong is already known to everyone in the world. Now, Lizhou in the north and Anzhou in the south have become Yang Tianhong's bag. Dispatch ...... With the combat effectiveness of these wretched people in the capital, I am afraid that they will all be defeated before they can meet the enemy. Speaking of which, Yang Tianhong is indeed extraordinary, and he has built the waste-like Xuanhuo Army into such a mighty and majestic army as it is today. If it were someone else, I am afraid that it would be able to barely sustain itself, which is already very good.

Li Shengjie suddenly had a thought in his heart that he had never had before, and it was also very inexplicable.

"If I hadn't had a grudge with Duke Yiyong in the past, I'm afraid things wouldn't have gotten to this point. ”

Even Li Shengjie himself didn't notice it, and unconsciously, he didn't even call Yang Tianhong a "little rabbit cub" anymore, but used the official title of Duke Yiyong.

The human heart is so wonderful.

......

The streets of Anju are crowded with people watching the excitement. The pomp and circumstance are unprecedented, and I'm afraid it's hard to compare even during the Chinese New Year.

It was already approaching evening.

A red sun in the sky has been slanting westward, and it is crumblingly hanging on the gate of the tall and majestic Anju, like a big red lantern, which makes people happy.

Yang Tianhong took off his military uniform, wearing the red smoky brocade groom's auspicious dress carefully made by the embroidered lady, wearing a double-winged black crown with golden flowers, and his black hair hung down from the back edge of the crown, hanging down on his shoulders, black and blue. He rode on a rare steed, a maroon war beast. The whole person is mighty and handsome, full of momentum that women admire.

Today, married.

Yang Tianhong's face is still pale, and his handsome face is like a celestial man against the backdrop of auspicious clothes and the setting sun, like a Zhilan jade tree, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

Along the way, countless women in Anzhou City couldn't help but look stupid, and couldn't help but squeeze forward. Although there are no rich and wealthy families in Anzhou, the women also have a lot of beauty. It's just that all the way over, Yang Tianhong didn't squint, and never glanced at the crowd of onlookers.

Countless specially selected sergeants of the Xuanhuo Army lined up in long lines along the streets, all the way from the Jiedu Embassy to the entrance of the newly built Duke's Palace. (To be continued.) )
