Chapter 335 Wedding
From July to September, it seems like a lot of time, but in fact, there is a lot of preparation.
Since the completion of the princess's mansion, it has been empty, and all the indoor utensils need to be purchased in place within these two months.
Rare antiques, famous calligraphy and paintings, etc., have to purchase some back.
Those who buy birds, such as cranes, peacocks, deer, hares, golden roosters, and white geese, should be purchased in place and handed over to special people in the yard to raise.
In particular, the triangle lake cannot be empty, and birds such as mandarin ducks must be bought to be raised, so that the princess can enjoy it when she visits the lake.
Because there are Buddhist halls and Taoist temples in the princess's mansion, Yang Chengying asked Geng Zhongming to buy ten little nuns and little Taoist aunts from other places.
By the way, I bought twelve girls in the Gusu area and hired one to teach repertoire including "The Peony Pavilion".
These are all requested from above, and they are rationed to the princess and chatted for entertainment.
Otherwise, with Yang Chengying's temper and temperament, he would definitely not be able to do such a luxurious thing.
As for the maids, mothers-in-law, and maids who are called by the princess, they will all come to the princess's mansion with the princess.
Yang Chengying handed over this kind of thing to Mao Yuanyi, and with his background, he could do it completely.
Originally, technical talents like Mao Yuanyi should not be used on this, but Yang Chengying has no people from a big family except him and Sun Yuanhua.
Sun Yuanhua was training a new type of artillery, and it was at a critical juncture that it was inconvenient to withdraw.
In this way, there is only Mao Yuanyi.
In a blink of an eye, it was the ninth day of October.
The great eunuch Wang Chengen held Zhu Pi and found Yang Chengying first, saying that the princess's phoenix driver had arrived in Port Arthur.
Yang Cheng received the decree, and he couldn't be idle, and he couldn't even sleep.
On October 12, a group of soldiers from Jinzhou Town came to guard the street leading from the south of the city to the princess's mansion.
The people on this road were asked not to go out for a while.
Wang Chengen took many small eunuchs and covered both sides of the road with cloths.
Another group of little eunuchs cleaned the streets.
It was followed by several earth-moving trucks to fill in the potholes in the streets.
Yang Chengying was not very nervous, but he was a little nervous when they made such a fuss.
"Horse, the villain is the attendant of the prince's side, and his name is Wang Yong."
A little eunuch found Yang Chengying, "Please go to the south of the city with the villain, and the villain will tell the horse some etiquette." ”
"Okay, I'm tired." Yang Chengying nodded.
Wang Yong took Yang Chengying from the south of the city to the princess's mansion, and walked around the princess's mansion, teaching Yang Chengying where to sit, where to get up and salute, where to kneel, where to retreat, etc.
Yang Chengying silently remembered it in his heart, and afterwards, he gave Wang Yong more than a dozen taels of silver.
Wang Yong thanked him.
Early in the morning of the next day, Yang Chengying was dressed in court clothes, rode a white horse, and went to the south of the city to meet Feng Jia.
The marriage of a princess is very different from that of an ordinary family, and all kinds of etiquette cannot be the same.
After arriving at the south gate, Yang Chengying dismounted and waited quietly.
The other generals and officials followed him, waiting like him.
The sun was so big at noon, Yang Chengying felt that he was getting oily, and he could only stand there.
Until the sun went down, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.
The scene was already quiet, so the sound of horses' hooves was particularly piercing.
Yang Chengying knew that it was "the princess is coming", so he quickly lowered his head.
The rider did not stop, and after arriving at Yang Chengying's side, he rode slowly on his horse.
As the discipline supervisor of the scene, his only duty is to inspect those who do not follow the rules.
Then, two teams of eunuchs clapped their hands and walked over.
Instead of applauding, they re-emphasized the silence on the spot.
Soon after I arrived, I suddenly heard the sound of music.
The big force is finally here.
The long procession from the south gate to the south is not far in sight.
"It's finally here, oh my God, it's so much more tiring than getting married in modern times."
Yang Chengying saw Feng Jia from a distance, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.
But hearing a light cough, he quickly lowered his head.
When Feng arrived closer, Yang Chengying was about to lead the crowd to kneel.
The personal maid Chun Tao stepped forward quickly and said loudly: "The princess has an order, and the horse is exempt from kneeling." ”
"Thank you, Princess Longen."
Yang Chengying bowed down and saluted, and asked Wu Sangui to take out the white horse behind the curtain and ride on.
Slowly came to the princess's phoenix car.
The procession continued to march, while the people remained and bowed.
In order to prevent the white horse from making trouble, Yang Chengying did not need to ride the horse himself, and was led by a small eunuch.
Feng drove to the door of the princess's mansion and immediately stopped.
Yang Chengying turned over and dismounted.
At this time, several maids ran out of the mansion, spread the red cloth with both hands, and spread it from the princess's phoenix drive to the auditorium of the mansion.
In fact, there is no need to pave so long, because the house has been paved early, and only the section of the road at the entrance needs to be paved temporarily.
After the red cloth was laid, Yang Chengying stepped on it, knelt down and kowtowed to Feng Jia, "Respectfully invite the princess to get off the sedan chair." ”
Said it three times and kowtowed three times.
There was no need for the princess to answer, Yang Chengying got up on his own, came to the phoenix car, and gently opened the sedan curtain.
The princess, dressed in a xia curtain and a red scarf on her head, slowly walked out of the car with the support of her personal maid.
got out of the carriage and stood side by side with Yang Chengying.
The bronze mirror in front opened the way, and the boy in the back led the princess's back skirt, with an umbrella covering her head, and walked in from the gate.
The two slowly came to the auditorium and knelt down in front of the offering table where the offerings and marriage edicts were placed, and bowed.
He also knelt down to Zhu Chunchen and Xu Guangqi.
After the ceremony, the two came to the princess's inner courtyard and performed the joint ceremony (jin).
The Heyi is not a simple drink of wine, but a complex set of procedures.
Yang Chengying and the princess had to follow the rules, drinking and eating, as many as three times.
After the ceremony, it is the first part of the unveiling that I like to see.
Yang Cheng used the gold scale handed by the maid to remove the hijab on Zhu Huixian's head.
Zhu Huixian, like all brides, turned her face away shyly.
Yang Chengying only saw her side face, her facial features were upright, she should be a good girl.
When Zhu Huixian turned her face and looked up, their eyes met.
It's pretty.
Yang Chengying used to boast that he had read a lot, but at this time, he forgot all about "national color and natural fragrance", and only used the words "very beautiful".
Sure enough, "I am uneducated, and I go to the world roughly" is a wise saying.
As everyone knows, compared to the shock that Zhu Huixian brought him, the shock he brought to Zhu Huixian was greater.
Zhu Huixian has seen countless princes and sons behind the curtain, sons from families, and many scholars.
It's not that she likes this, but when she was just discussing marriage, her father and second uncle brought a lot of young talents and asked her to choose behind the curtain.
There are naturally many big families like them who come to talk about marriage.
However, none of them are the same as Yang Chengying. Maybe it's the long-term battlefield fighting, or maybe it's Yang Chengying's own attention to self-cultivation.
In Zhu Huixian's eyes, the gestures bring three points of majesty, three points of ability, two points and the imaginary gap, as well as a point of cunning and one point of coldness.
"What are you looking at?" Yang Chengying asked curiously.
"The general is very different from what I imagined." Zhu Huixian said with a smile.
"Oh? Did I use to be thick eyebrows and big eyes and a beard in your mind? Yang Chengying quipped.
Zhu Huixian lowered her head and smiled.
Yang Chengying looked a little stupid, turned his head and glanced at the maids a few times, these girls really have no eyesight, and they don't leave?
The four maids led by Chun Tao made a blessing gift, "Princess, please go to bed." I'll wait. ”
What, waiting by the side! Yang Chengying was shocked.
