There are less than three days left before Tang Xiaohao marries Princess Baomeng, to be precise, it should be Princess Baomeng marrying Tang Xiaohao. After all, she is a princess or a royal sister, and she belongs to marriage. After getting married, Tang Xiaohao not only had to move to the Rouyuan Palace in the Qinghe Hunting Ground, but also had to come with a valuable bride price.

Those bride prices can be said to be dowries, in addition to the due gold and silver ceremonial vessels, silk and satin, there are also a large number of subordinates, these subordinates naturally include small bells and Tang Dun.

Tang Dun is a personal servant, and the little bell is a personal maid, as for her true identity as a maid, everyone knows, Princess Baomeng naturally knows, but it is not counted, because not to mention the princes and nobles, even the sons of large families are equipped with such a girl, however, this also directly proves that this son is a normal man and has no physical problems.

It's just that this approach seems to be the most feminine status in Huayuan, and it is completely inferior to that of Rouyuan Tors. You must know that there are no female generals in the Torth Department, and even there are several female kings, and the status of women there is generally higher than that of men.

The only thing that makes Princess Baomeng happy is that in this wedding, she is nominally married, but in fact she is the one who marries. Of course, this is also the emperor's intention, it seems that the rules are all according to the rules of the imperial family, but in fact they follow the customs of Rouyuan.

Late at night, Tang Xiaohao couldn't sleep, and as soon as he opened the window to blow the wind, he heard a burst of pleasant singing from the garden, and the person singing was a small bell.

"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman.

Jagged wattles, left and right flowing. My Fair Lady, I covet it.

I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it. Leisurely, tossing and turning.

Jagged wattles, picked left and right. My Fair Lady, Friends of the Piano.

Jagged wattle, left and right. My Fair Lady, bells and drums. ”

(雎sui鸠jiu,寤wu寐mei)

Tang Xiaohao walked into the garden and followed the song to find the little bell sitting by the pond, but he didn't come forward to disturb, but stood on the side and listened quietly.

This song called "Guan Sui" was originally a poem handed down from ancient times, with Guan Sui birds singing in unison, falling in love with each other, raising the association of ladies and gentlemen, and raising the protagonist's lovesickness and pursuit of women with the behavior of Cai Jingcai.

After the little bell was finished, Tang Xiaohao stepped forward and said, "You can still sing Guan Sui." ”

The little bell looked at the reflection of the moon in the pool: "Yes, but I forgot who taught me, maybe it was the person I once liked?" ”

After speaking, the little bell looked at Tang Xiaohao, who had just sat down.

Tang Xiaohao naturally knew the intention of the little bell's words, he pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "I will definitely help you find your crush." ”

When Xiao Bell heard this, the strong smile on his face disappeared completely, and he wanted to raise his hand and slap Tang Xiaohao.

On the rockery not far away, Jelly Bean, who was lying there looking at the moon, sighed helplessly when he looked at Tang Xiaohao.

After a long time, Tang Xiaohao finally broke the silence: "I don't even know what that princess Baomeng looks like, this marriage was arranged by the emperor, and I have no choice, if I say that I don't marry, it will be to resist the decree, and even if I resist the decree and kill the head, I have to implicate everyone in the Tang Mansion, and maybe it will lead to a war between the Tors Ministry and the imperial court." ”

The little bell didn't say a word, just looked at the pond.

Jelly Bean sighed again when he heard this, even this cat knows what kind of truth is there at this time, you should go up and hug her directly.

What else is the first scumbag in Shendu City, that's it?

Tang Xiaohao glanced at the little bell: "Anyway, before you get your memory back, I will definitely protect you, and when you remember who you are, maybe there is really someone you like, and then I will find a way to send you to him, and then everyone will be happy." ”

The little bell said quietly: "When the time comes, you can be your colt with peace of mind." ”

Tang Xiaohao held back for a long time before saying, "But, the two of us have visited the church, in case your crush knows?" Then the two of us are not dogs and men? ”

Xiao Bell clenched his fists and looked at Tang Xiaohao: "If you can't speak, shut up." ”

After the little bell finished speaking, he saw Tang Xiaohao staring at him: "Why are you looking at me?" ”

Tang Xiaohao leaned in at this time, and just when he was about to get close to the little bell's face, the little bell directly raised his hand and slapped him.

Although he was slapped in the face, Tang Xiaohao still put his mouth on it.

When the two mouths touched together, the little bell felt that her heartbeat was about to stop, but she still pushed Tang Xiaohao away and gave another slap, but Tang Xiaohao, who had five finger prints on his cheeks, hugged the little bell directly.

The little bell's originally clenched fist gradually loosened, and then slowly raised it to hug the man in front of him.

Jelly Bean looked at the reflection of the two embracing each other in the pond, and leaned contentedly to the sleeping puppy next to him, intertwining his fluffy tail with the dog's tail.

That night, the moon remembered all the silent vows.

——

Originally, according to the rules handed down from ancient times, men should be "crowned at twenty, crowned and crowned as husbands", but after the opening of the Dachang Dynasty, the age limit was relaxed because of the premise that the population was greatly reduced due to years of war. Men are allowed to marry after the age of 17, while women are allowed to marry at the age of 15 and at the latest at the age of 20.

If a man and a woman are over 20 years old and not married, the tax rate is 5. In other words, if you don't marry at this age, you have to pay five times the tax.

Therefore, Tang Xiaohao married the seventeen-year-old Princess Baomeng at the age of eighteen, which was just right sooner or later.

It's just that as a royal marriage, the first five steps in the "Six Rites of Dawn" are omitted, and the reason why it is called the first ceremony is because the wedding ceremony is held at dusk. The six rites are divided into Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, and welcoming in person.

Nacai, also known as Nacai, means that the man's family invites the matchmaker to go to the woman's house to propose, and if the woman's family agrees, the man will prepare a gift to propose. This is why there is a saying "the words of the matchmaker of the parents".

Asking for a name means that the man asks the matchmaker to ask the woman's name and birthday.

Najib refers to the fact that after the man retrieves the woman's name and birth date, he goes to divination, and if the divination result is auspicious, he informs the woman that he is ready to enter into marriage.

To enlist is to give a dowry gift.

The term of the invitation refers to the determination of the date of the marriage, and the woman is informed and the consent of the other party is sought.

Finally, there is the personal welcome, which is the ceremony of a series of wedding ceremonies on the wedding day, which is the last part of the six ceremonies.

Because it was the reason for the emperor's marriage, the first five steps in the six ceremonies were omitted, and the last step was completely reversed, the reason why it was said the opposite was because it was originally supposed to be Tang Xiaohao with the wedding team to welcome Princess Baomeng back to the Tang Mansion, but in order to respect the original rules of the Tuo Si Department for women to marry men, it became the Tang Mansion to hold a banquet to entertain the guests, waiting for Princess Baomeng's team to come to marry Tang Xiaohao.

Above the main hall of the Tang Mansion, Tang Xiaohao, who was dressed in a wedding dress, knelt in front of Tang Chen, listening to Tang Chen say the phrase "Go to Yingerxiang, inherit my sect", and the little bell and Tang Dun were waiting outside the hall.

Tang Xiaohao, who was kneeling there, closed his eyes and dozed off, because Tang Chen had been speaking for a quarter of an hour, and he didn't listen to half a word.

Next to Tang Chen, Nanrong Wenjun, who was dressed in a ceremonial costume, was full of smiles, she was happy from the bottom of her heart, and it was the first time that she could show her smile in front of Tang Xiaohao without concealment.

For this seemingly cold and vicious woman, she really hated Tang Xiaohao's concubine at the beginning, no, it should be said that she couldn't even talk about a concubine, but an illegitimate child.

She still remembers that on that snowy night more than ten years ago, Tang Chen, who was dressed in iron armor, returned in heavy snow with a baby boy sleeping peacefully in his arms. At that time, on top of this main hall, Tang Chen told Nan Rong Wenjun that this was the son born to him by a woman outside, and it was also his first son, and for the inheritance of the Tang family, he had to bring this child back to raise him.

Tang Chen's words made Nan Rong Wenjun almost fall, and her first reaction was that she failed to give birth to a son, so Tang Chen made this move.

Nan Rong Wenjun always thought that her husband was different from other men, but the facts in front of her stabbed her in the heart.

Nan Rong Wenjun went up to snatch the child like crazy, trying to throw the child to death, but was pushed away by Tang Chen, and sternly told him that the child was his blood, and he would rather tear his face with the Nan Rong family to protect it.

After that day, Nan Rongwenjun was depressed, cursing the child in his heart every day, and even wanted to poison and kill the innocent child many times. She wasn't worried that all that Tang Chen had created would end up in the hands of that child, she just hated Tang Chen's betrayal and hated her deep love for this man.

Yes, Nanrong Wenjun is deeply in love with Tang Chen. Although when her father Nan Rong Qufeng decided to let her marry Tang Chen, Nan Rong Wenjun was against it, and even threatened to commit suicide, but when she saw Tang Chen for the first time, she was attracted by this man who was still stained with the blood of the enemy on his iron armor.

Nan Rong Wenjun began to think that Tang Chen was either a rough martial artist or a weak fan, but he didn't expect to be so tough and handsome, although he was wearing iron armor, there was an elegant air between his eyebrows.

Just at a glance, Nan Rong Wenjun has completely fallen, after getting married, Nan Rong Wenjun also found that this man does not have his father's domineering and domineering, he has great respect for himself, and he will not talk about "obeying women's morals" and the like.

The more you love, the more you hate, so what Nan Rong Wenjun hated at the beginning was not Tang Xiaohao, but Tang Chen.

However, Nan Rong Wenjun soon discovered that something was wrong, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't see the similarity between Tang Xiaohao and Tang Chen. It stands to reason that father and son always have similarities, although Tang Xiaohao is also good-looking, it is not the same as Tang Chen's handsome and tough.

Coupled with some temptations in his words, Nan Rong Wenjun was almost certain that this child was not Tang Chen's illegitimate son at all, not his biological son.

After discovering this, Nan Rong Wenjun felt a lot better, although she still didn't understand why Tang Chen wanted to bring back a child who was not her own, but her attitude towards the child changed in her heart.

The most important thing is that this kid is too smart and sensible.

Nan Rong Wenjun still remembers that in the winter when Tang Xiaohao was eight years old, she was sick and bedridden, she thought that she probably couldn't survive it, and even called Tang Chen and her two daughters to the bed to confess her last words.
