Chapter 237: The Day of Greeting (1)
A few days before the wedding, Biyu began to fast on his own, separated from the two maids, and went to bed alone. Waiting for Biyu to get dressed and get up, after washing, Ah Miao took out the exquisite dressing box - sandalwood double-layer Jiuzi lacquer, which was full of the finest fat powder and oil fragrance, and the moment it was opened, the fragrance was overflowing. This dressing box is not owned by the second maid, but is specially designed for the purpose of dressing up Yu on weekdays, but the fat powder in it today is a little better.
Comb your hair and sprinkle osmanthus oil, apply grease powder to your cheeks, have chicken tongue in your mouth, and agarwood juice all over your body. For dressing up than jade, the two are very familiar, but today they are more refined. After dressing up, the two began to wait for Biyu to wear a formal dress.
Biyu wore a knight on his head, wearing a big red robe, and came to the front with the support of the two maidservants. At this time, everything was prepared, and Wang Yan and the other wedding protocol team were also in place.
On the side of the road in front of the hall, all kinds of color ceremonies are lined up: big to sheep, deer, small to mandarin ducks, fish, precious things such as Xuanqi bundle silk, common things such as pu, reeds, up to 30 kinds. However, the gift of personal welcome is not to take whatever you want, nor is it anything valuable, what is good-looking, but there are etiquette regulations, all kinds of gifts have special attention: Xuan symbolizes the sky, Qi symbolizes the earth, the deer represents Lu, the sheep represents Xiang, the goose represents the sun, the mandarin duck represents the love of husband and wife, the fish represents unyielding, the pu represents softness, the reed represents tenacity, the sake represents happiness, the liquor represents joy, the glue represents the unity of others, the good interpersonal relationship, and the Hehuan bell represents harmony......
The whole house, all the people and everything, are all festive, only than jade, and there is no laughter. When the sky was bright, Biyu got on the greeting car, brought thirty colored gifts, and went to greet the relatives.
The palace is also ready to stop, and unlike the subjects, the royal marriage daughter, the emperor and queen do not personally officiate the marriage, but hand it over to the clan with status. Inside the Cloud Dragon Gate, the ceremonial officer was already waiting here.
Wang Yan and the ceremonial officer went through a whole set of ceremonies, and the gifts were handed over. He secretly motioned to Biyu: "Virtuous nephew, cheer up, the eldest princess of Yong'an is about to appear." ”
Hearing this, Biyu's eyes that had been dull took the initiative to look in the direction where the eldest princess of Yong'an was about to appear, but what he was expecting to see was another person. However, to his disappointment, that person did not appear next to the eldest princess of Yong'an.
Biyu and the eldest princess of Yong'an once had a two-sided relationship: the first time was on the road of the first silkworm, but that time was just a glimpse of the moment; Another time was when he performed the poetry collection "If You Don't Think About It" at the Yuan Zheng Conference, although she appeared for a long time, she wore a veil, so Biyu never really met this princess who admired her.
I saw this eldest princess walking out of a large hall surrounded by a group of palace people, wearing a flower hairpin and shaking a pearl and green crown, her face was like a beautiful jade, and she was wearing a red-edged azure Zhai Cai deep coat, noble and elegant, gentle and generous.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of Ah Miao's words this morning: Childe, fate is destined by God, people can't go against the will of heaven, Dr. Shi Jiaxin is just a moon in the water, and the eldest princess of Yong'an is the branch of your connection.
Sure enough, when I first saw the eldest princess of Yong'an, didn't I just have a heart-pounding feeling? When the water flowed, didn't her wine stop in front of her? The divination when he was Najib was obviously an auspicious hexagram, why was he confused by the Zhuge warlock in a few words? m.
Biyu's dull eyes looked at the eldest princess of Yong'an, but her head was in chaos.
The eldest princess of Yong'an didn't know that Biyu's eyes were completely blank. She has always admired Biyu in her heart, and Biyu's pure expression like a newborn calf seems to her to be a complete expression of love and affection for herself, which makes her very happy.
The two palace maids accompanied the eldest princess of Yong'an into a colorful and luxurious three-horse oil painting car. Whether it is a royal family or a commoner, when the bride returns, the groom and the bride cannot ride together, but have to ride in their respective vehicles, but after the bride gets in the car, there is a small ceremony, that is, the groom must personally drive the car for the bride for a short distance, in fact, it is a formality, and the wheels turn three times.
The eldest princess of Yong'an had already gotten into the car, only looking at Biyu, waiting for Biyu to come over and drive for herself, but Biyu was still standing so stupidly. Seeing this, Wang Yan hurriedly tugged at his sleeve secretly, Biyu was so willing, got into the oil painting car, picked up the rope bridle, but didn't know how to drive it away.
Shi Hui knew that his son couldn't drive, so in order not to make a mistake at this ceremony, he has been conducting driving training for Biyu in the house for the past few days. I am not very skilled in grinding guns in battle, and I am practicing a two-horse carriage at home, and at this time it is a high-configuration three-horse carriage, so I panicked. The bridle was fast, but the power of the car was strong, the vehicle was in a hurry, and he and the eldest princess of Yong'an both leaned back.
The eldest princess of Yong'an is already very satisfied when she sees that Biyu can drive for herself, why is it still in Yida that does not reach the standard distance? Seeing Biyu's scrambled appearance, she hurriedly shouted to Mifu, "What are you waiting for, why don't you go and replace the pony quickly!" ”
Mio was scolded for no reason, so he could only obediently run over and respectfully take the bridle from Biyu's hand. Biyu sat in his car, guided first, and the oil painting of the eldest princess of Yong'an accompanied her, followed by all kinds of dowry things, which were not inferior to the bride price of the Shi family, and the silk alone amounted to as many as three hundred. According to the width of 2 feet 2 inches and the length of 40 feet, 300 horses of silk is 1,200 zhang long, which is an unimaginable number for ordinary people. The entire convoy of relatives went straight to Shifu, attracting the onlookers on the street to be three layers inside and three layers outside, which was very popular.
When the princess gets married, sometimes the emperor will build a princess's mansion for her to live in; In most cases, it is directly married to the husband's house. Each dynasty has different rules about this, and it has a lot to do with the status of each princess herself.
The Shifu was noisy. Now that Shi Hui is in Zongzheng, Biyu has also been promoted, and he is still a princess, which of the gentlemen in Luoyang City does not look at each other differently? In particular, Shi Hui did Ruyin Zhongzheng, and the Ruyin scholars were worried that they had no chance to tie up, and the Ruyin people who were officials in Luoyang City were all present at the scene, and those who could not be present in the field also presented a generous gift in advance, which was not the same as when the jade crown ceremony was compared a few years ago.
Even the envoys of Siyi, who have been in Beijing for a long time, want to have a good relationship with officialdom and tie up with the powerful in order to consolidate the foundation. Now seeing that the status of the Shi family is thriving, most of them have come to cheer.
The groom's car arrived outside the gate of his house first, and Biyu and Wang Yan got out of the car and waited for the car of the eldest princess of Yong'an. Although the house is overcrowded, but today's bride is the eldest princess of today, these ladies know how to be polite, and they dare not come close to watch, but only avoid it from afar.
But there were two exceptions, not only did they not shy away, but they stood at the foot of the steps by the door, these two people were Liu Mang and Yuwen Xi. At that conference, the two of them had ill intentions and wanted to spy on the beauty of Dr. Xin and the eldest princess of Yong'an, set a trap, and made a bet on the Book of Songs, but they lost to Dr. Xin and the eldest princess of Yong'an. Not only did they lose the game, but they didn't even see the faces of the two beauties, so they lost face and were annoyed and resentful.
But they are still a little unwilling, they heard that the eldest princess of Yong'an married Biyu, so they specially gave a generous gift, and waited outside the gate early today, wanting to watch the eldest princess of Yong'an. also knew that Dr. Xin was a friend of the eldest princess of Yong'an, and even more delusional that the two of them might be able to appear together.
Wang Yan, as the father of the crown princess, was still waiting outside the door in such a regular manner, but when he saw these two people blocking the gate without rules, he angrily ordered the people next to him: "These two people don't know the etiquette, they know that the eldest princess is coming soon, and they don't know how to avoid it, so drive them away." ”
Ah Zhuang and Ah Ji had just followed Biyu to welcome back the eldest princess of Yong'an, and they were standing behind Biyu. Maybe it's really single-minded, or maybe it's because of their humble status, Ah Zhuang and Ah Ji are not as fond of beauty as Liu Mang and Yu Wenxi. Especially Ah Zhuang, he has always only been infatuated with Ah Miao, who has the same background as himself, and is not interested in the beauty of the legendary Yong'an eldest princess at all.
At this moment, the two of them heard Wang Yan's order, and without waiting for Biyu's command, they stepped forward and said loudly to Liu Mang and Yuwen: "The eldest princess is coming, you two don't hurry up and avoid it!" ”
Liu Mang and Yuwen Xi stood here alone, and they felt a little abrupt, and in the face of Ah Zhuang and Ah Ji's questions, they had to move a few feet to the side.
"What's the matter with moving like that, you guys hurry up and stay away." Ah Zhuang and Ah Ji were about to push and shove as they spoke, but because of their own guests, they still endured it.
Liu Mang and Yu Wenxi regarded themselves as envoys of Fanbang, and their identities were unusual, and when they saw these two subordinates being aggressive, they said coldly and arrogantly: "How far is it to avoid it?" ”
"Do you still need me to say that? Didn't you see everyone else hiding in that courtyard? Aggie pointed to the side.
The place that Aji was referring to was the annex of Shifu, where all unrelated people and others were sheltered. The other courtyard is not only far away from here, but also blocked by a courtyard wall, so you can't see the eldest princess of Yong'an at all.
Of course, Liu Mang and Yu Wenxian didn't listen, they didn't take these two little subordinates in their eyes, so they stood still.
At this time, the slaves on the gate of Shifu saw that Ah Zhuang and Ah Ji could not deal with these two people, and they also surrounded them. If Liu Mang and Yu Wenxi don't listen to the advice again, they really have to force their actions.
Ah Zhuang waved his hand at the person behind him, glanced at Liu Mang and said, "This honored guest, although we don't know each other, judging from your dress, you should be a Huns." It's okay for you to lose your own face because you don't know how to be polite like this, but where do you put my Hun face? ”
Huns? Is this kid a Hun?
Some people died, but not completely......
