"Miss, Miss, wake up, it's coming." I don't know when, with the feeling of one shoulder being gently shaken, a female voice that is not very clear under the interference of the joyful and festive sheng flute, suona gongs and drums sounds.

Jiang Shu opened her heavy eyelids in a daze, raised her head with a drowsy head, and saw the screen shallow outside the small window on the side of the sedan chair looking in with the curtain lifted and the bustling crowd behind her who looked like they were retreating because of the sedan chair's walking, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes: "So fast?" ”

When I was learning etiquette in the palace before, didn't Mama Liang say that in order to highlight the festive atmosphere of national joy and people's joy, after the sedan chair came out of the palace, would it go around the imperial city?

"Miss is asleep, I don't think it's been long, in fact, I've been walking for more than an hour," Ping Qian said with a slightly restrained expression, "Miss quickly put down the hijab, the palace is about to arrive." ”

"Oh." Jiang Shu knew that it was really not appropriate for people to see his face at this time, so he nodded effortlessly, straightened up with the back of his chair, and carefully pulled down the big red hijab on the phoenix crown.

The raised hands had just been withdrawn, and before they could be clasped together, a burst of overlapping crisp and loud firecrackers suddenly sounded in the noisy voices outside.

In the incessant sound of firecrackers, the sedan chair stopped shaking and fell steadily after walking forward for a short time.

Then, with the sound of Zhu Changxun turning over and dismounting in front, not far in front of the sedan chair, a loud and bright enthusiastic male voice came: "The sound of firecrackers is deafening, and the door of the mansion is open to welcome the bride." ”

Although Jiang Shu couldn't see the appearance of the person who spoke through the heavy hijab and sedan curtains, but just by this voice, he could guess that it must be the fifth son of the emperor, Rui Wang Zhu Changhao, and he could even imagine his exaggerated expression and movements, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

As soon as his words fell, Ping Qian and Xi Niang, who were located on both sides of the sedan chair, immediately walked quickly to the front of the sedan chair, and in the deafening sound of firecrackers and sheng flute suona gongs and drums, they lifted the low-hanging sedan curtain, leaned forward to help Jiang to express themselves, and helped her to get off the sedan chair.

After she stood firm, the bride let her go again, and looked at Zhu Changxun, who was facing the door of the mansion full of guests with his back to the lanterns, and walked forward to take off the red cloak on his body and hand one end to him.

Then, he returned to his place, stuffed the other end of the red flower into Jiang Shu's palm, raised his hand again to hold her arm, and nodded to Zhu Changxun in front of him, indicating that he could go.

Zhu Changxun looked up at the sun that was no longer shining in the sky in the west, and then looked sideways at the wide bluestone road outside his Fuwang Mansion that was surrounded by the lively people in the south and the Qianhai of Shichahai, and finally his eyes fell on Jiang Shu, who was holding a red cloak with him in a big red dress and a big red hijab, stopped for a while, pulled the corners of his lips lightly, tightened his hand holding the red cloak, turned around slowly, and walked forward with his feet raised.

In order to show his importance, Zhu Changhao, who was dressed in red satin and had a red flower on his head, hurriedly walked up to them when they stepped on the steps in front of the door and gave them a salute in front.

The guests and servants who gathered at the gate of the palace to greet them, and the ceremonial bands that stood on both sides of the gate after they arrived, playing the sheng flute and suona gongs and drums, and the dowry team carrying the dowry behind them, followed closely after Zhu Changxun and Jiang Shu entered the palace gate.

With a heavy phoenix crown, a blind red hijab and a groggy head, Jiang Shu was led by Zhu Changxun through the red cloak, supported by Ping Qian and the bride with both hands, in the loud firecracker music and drums and noisy talk, he walked through the corridor and passed through the courtyard, listening to Zhu Changhao constantly shouting in an exaggerated voice What sounds very down-to-earth, "The newcomer steps into the second hall, and the big red is happy to stick to both sides", "The newcomer steps through the treasury, and the gold and silver are used to measure the amount of gold", "The newcomer steps through the building, and the flowers bloom in the garden out of the phoenix", After walking around for a long time, when I felt that I was about to lose it, I suddenly heard a shout: "Look and see, come and come——! ”
