Chapter 401: Hugging left and right, what a joy to have
Originally, with the current normal process, the man was going to the woman's house to greet his relatives and then access his own house.
But if this is done, Xia Jingyun is not only troublesome, but it is also difficult to decide which one to go to first and then which one, and even no matter how he decides, it is easy to cause displeasure.
Fortunately, Concubine De made a comprehensive arrangement for him, and sent a person who was highly respected and had enough weight to welcome Xia Jingyun on his behalf, and then directly led the second daughter to the palace, which perfectly solved the problem.
Since this is the case, Concubine De simply does it to the end.
Directly invited Xia Hengzhi and Xia Li's family, Su Yanyan's parents, and Qin Li's parents to the celebration in front of the Imperial Palace.
Jin Zhong personally pulled his throat and served as the master of ceremonies with honor.
Not to mention Xia Jingyun's parents from humble backgrounds, even the children of a top family like the parents of the second daughter, in the long life of being disliked by their father, they never expected to have such a glorious moment, so that the more they looked at their uncle, the more pleasing they were.
After three bows, the eyes of the three of them met, Xia Jingyun's eyes were full of affection that could not be dissolved, and the eyes of the second daughter were condensed with honey.
Whether it's affection or honey, it's all the happiness that comes after acquaintance, love, and love.
The green waves of Dongting are swaying, the warm jade under the eaves is whispering, the life and death breakthrough of Longshou Prefecture, the resolute intention of Liancheng County, hundreds of miles of exile, and the scenes of the past pass by in this silent gaze.
Then it all melted into the gently raised corners of the mouth.
After the ceremony, the three of them thanked the Queen Mother and Her Majesty together, and walked towards the palace gate.
(PS: The process of the wedding is different from all dynasties, let's use the most familiar set of the world, just use the one that everyone is most familiar with, and everyone who understands it understands, don't blame, Wu Gang.) )
Beyond the palace gate, there is an open square with an unobstructed view to prevent people with ulterior motives from approaching the palace walls.
At the edge of the square, there is a clear ground dividing line, which is where the court officials get off and off the horses on weekdays.
The chariots of the two brides and Xia Jingyun's horses were parked here.
At this moment, on the other end of the line, Xia Jingyun's relatives and friends, and the relatives of the Su and Qin families, are all waiting together.
Behind them, there was a crowd of onlookers who couldn't see the end.
Jingzhao Yin Su Yuanshang personally led the officials of Jingzhao Mansion to stand by and nervously maintain order.
There is no need to mention any responsibilities, just because he was born in the Su family and has such a relationship with Xia Jingyun, if he makes a mistake in this matter, he will really be shameless.
When Xia Jingyun and the two girls walked out of the palace gate one after another, the crowd resounded from front to back with a burst of excited noise.
The second daughter not only did not wear a red hijab, but she didn't even cover her face with a fan or anything, she wore a phoenix crown and a xia veil, and walked so generously.
This is also what Xia Jingyun meant, originally according to the rules, although there was no need to cover the red hijab, but the bride was asked to cover her face with a fan, but Xia Jingyun directly said that my wife is beautiful and fragrant, what is unseemly.
Others still have to talk about the rules, Xia Jingyun replied at the time, "The rules are all set by people, from today on, this is the new rule." ”
And looking at this situation now, today's wedding may really become a new rule that countless couples will imitate and copy in the future.
As for the respect for women hidden in Xia Jingyun's decision, I am afraid it will be left to future generations to comment slowly.
At this moment, the people on the side of the road were still just watching the procession slowly walk by in a cheer.
The girl of the Su family is so beautiful, just like the aura of the eight hundred miles of Dongting mountains and rivers gathered on her alone, as beautiful as the mountains, and as smart as the clear water;
The eldest lady of the Qin family is really beautiful, in the nobility that people can't help but look up to, there is no condescending arrogance, in addition to the beauty of Wen Yu, there is also a bit of beauty and long-term elegance.
What kind of person does it have to be to marry such two women who are all over the country and the city at the same time!
When their eyes fell on the man who was riding a white horse in front of the chariot, all doubts disappeared.
The groom, sitting on a tall horse, has a tall and handsome figure revealing a proud bearing;
On the handsome and unparalleled face, the most attractive thing is the eyes that are as bright as the stars;
And the most intoxicating thing is the warm smile like a spring breeze at the corner of the mouth.
This is today's groom official, the champion of Lianzhong Sanyuan, the founder of Jianninghou, the central minister, the head of the household, Xia Jingyun.
At this time, he was only twenty-one years old.
Such a person, who can say that he is not worthy, and who dares to say that he is not worthy!
The team went around along the royal street, and the dowry teams of the Su and Qin families also merged in one after another, with a lot of traffic and servants, and the entire team spread back and forth for several miles.
When Xia Jingyun and the two ladies' cars finally arrived at the Jianning Marquis's Mansion, the Su and Qin families still had a car to transport the dowry and were ready to go.
The scene is so grand that it is almost the only time in these lives at the moment, and more and more onlookers are scrambling to follow the movement of the procession, watching this unforgettable scene.
As Xia Jingyun and others entered the mansion and carried out a series of ceremonies in the mansion to greet each other, the guests also arrived one after another at this time.
Naturally, the gift money of the guests will not be sung out loud, but the things that accompany the marriage are different.
The Su family and the Qin family, who were in charge of transporting the dowry, began to report the dowry of their eldest lady with a word of voice, involving face and future status in the Xia Mansion, naturally no one would be left behind.
If you send 10,000 taels of gold, I will send 10 hectares of fertile land;
If you send a street to a shop, I will send a thousand books.
Not to mention the staggering number, the units behind that number alone are enough to make people stunned.
Everyone was shocked by the financial resources and heritage of the two families, and they also felt extremely envious of the Marquis of Jianning and the Xia family.
Although the Marquis of Jianning started at the end of the year, with the support of these two families, even a family with four walls can become the top family in the world.
But when they came to the Jianning Marquis Mansion, they realized that their previous ideas were still shallow.
Xia Yunfei, the newly promoted Xing'an Marquis wearing an equally festive red robe, personally stood at the door to greet him, silently reminding everyone that the Xia family was a super family with two marquis.
And when they walked into the mansion of the Marquis of Jianning, they saw that the mansion was extravagant and unconventional, the furnishings were luxurious but restrained, and they would not pile up everything good in front of people, and there were no smilable and generous furnishings and arrangements.
The last bit of arrogance from birth in everyone's hearts also disappeared, and they were completely convinced.
Feng Xiuyun, who was arranging all this behind the scenes, had long known about the battle of the guests, coupled with his delicate identity, he went all out and thought hard, he had already thought of various joints, opened up different banquet places in the mansion in advance, and set up a special guest to welcome guests.
In the roll call, the guests entered like water.
"His Royal Highness King Jing, the sixth son of the Northern Liang Emperor, and His Royal Highness the Southern King of the Northern Liang Town, arrive!"
A shout made the noisy field instantly quiet, and also made the faces of the people in Beiliang, who already felt shame and pain, twitch.
For the first time in his life, he came to Zhongjing of the Southern Dynasty, which he once longed for, and it was with such a posture and bearing such a gaze, King Jing's face was stiff, and after presenting a congratulatory gift, he went to a separate room next to the main hall with Xue Wenlu, who was stunned.
It is not rude, but also a little protective.
After all, Feng Xiuyun didn't want anyone to drink too much and trouble the people of Beiliang at that time, adding unhappiness to this good thing.
Xue Wenlu sat in the room, waiting for the arrival of the white clouds.
As he said, it is a mouthful of sticky thick phlegm, and you can't rub it off when you touch it.
But he sat and waited, and Baiyunbian unexpectedly did not appear.
Just as they quietly breathed a sigh of relief, a loud chant came from outside.
"Admiral Tiance, the commander of the army, His Royal Highness King Jing, here!"
Jiang Yuhu's movements have always been the first focus of Beiliang intelligence, and when they heard this title, everyone in Beiliang subconsciously trembled, and their bodies shrank unconsciously.
Outside the main gate of the Hou Mansion, Jiang Yuhu, dressed in brocade clothes like a noble son, stepped forward, and in the greetings of everyone around him, he only nodded lightly as before, and walked into the mansion, and the bamboo forest entourage behind him gave the congratulatory gift.
Looking at the proud back, everyone couldn't help whispering.
"It is said that His Royal Highness King Jing and the Marquis of Jianning have a good relationship, it seems to be true!"
"Isn't it, King Jing has rushed back from the north to participate in the wedding of the Marquis of Jianning, who else can have this treatment?"
"Don't say that I rushed back all the way, when the grandson of the Duke of Lu and the daughter of the Marquis of Dingyang got married, I saw that King Jing was in the bamboo forest, so I didn't know that the sky and the earth were thick and sent the invitation over, who knew that King Jing didn't care at all, and now these two are still the laughing stock in Beijing! That's the difference! ”
"I am a scholar and a martial artist, and it is a blessing for the country to be so harmonious!"
"Humph!"
A cold snort suddenly sounded in this harmonious conversation, and everyone turned their heads to see the displeased white clouds, and their faces changed slightly.
Bai Yunbian didn't pay attention to these people, just hummed a little to vent his displeasure, and then left with a head of thought.
The Cao Gang family has a big cause, so they shouldn't lose this battle, right?
I can't think like this, this son is a dignified and manly man, how could he have pinned his hopes on these foreign things!
But does thinking like this become a self-comfort that you know can't be compared, what's the difference with those mediocre people?
Not to mention that Baiyunbian was bored fighting left and right there, and after nearly three or five hundred people poured into the Jianning Hou Mansion and crowded the vast Jianning Hou Mansion, the chefs of the restaurants in Beijing, led by Ming Yulou, who had already been prepared, sent their own dishes like flowing water under the unified arrangement of Cao Jie, the head of the imperial dining room.
After Xia Jingyun was done, accompanied by Xia Yunfei, he came out to toast everyone.
From the first table of Old Man Yiyun, King Cheng, Wan Xiang, Jiang Yuhu and others, to the hundred tables, Xia Jingyun personally went to toast a cup.
As for the contents of the cup, it has naturally been replaced with water.
And with his current identity, naturally there is no need to worry about what to salute to the back, everyone else is gone, everyone who comes, who will leave without waiting for the marquis of Jianning to toast, who will leave, who dares to go?
During the whole process, it is worth mentioning that Xia Jingyun didn't hold back his laughter when he walked into the room where everyone in Beiliang was and saw Xue Wenlu who had to smile with an aggrieved face.
Fortunately, he immediately remedied: "Shizi, it's normal for me to smile on my big day today, right?" ”
Xue Wenlu's eyes suddenly became resentful.
"This must be His Royal Highness King Jing, thank you for coming, today's hospitality is not good, in a few days, in the Lieyang Pass, let's have a good chat."
King Jing was completely convinced of Xue Wenlu's words at this time, although this Xue Wenlu's mouth was even more incapable of provoking the Great Demon King than Baiyunbian at this moment, but when he saw today's battle, where did he dare to be presumptuous, so he had to politely say a few words.
Xia Jingyun didn't say much, and walked out with a smile.
By the time everything is done and the guests have dispersed, it is already time when the lights are bright and the night is cold.
Whether it is the guests who have left, or the servants of the Xia family at this moment, or even Xia Jingyun's parents, uncles and aunts, etc., they are all curious about one thing:
Xia Jingyun tonight, will he go to the east building or the west building first?
This is not only related to the status of the second daughter in Xia Jingyun's mind, but also related to the power in the future back house, and even the degree of cooperation between the Xia family and the Su Qin family.
Watching the lively, curious, and worried, everyone is waiting for Xia Jingyun's choice.
On the west floor, Qin Li sat in front of the bed, accompanied by the maidservant, and whispered: "Miss, did you say that Master Hou would come to our side first?" ”
Qin Li calmly looked at the account book in his hand, "What?" You can't wait? ”
The maidservant blushed, although she did hide a little bit of expectation for the future, but she also knew that it would not be her turn tonight anyway, so she denied it repeatedly, "The slave is just thinking about the young lady"
Qin Li closed the ledger and glanced at her, "This is not something you should think about, or even something I should think about. ”
She turned her head to look at the east building across the lake outside the window, and said softly: "This is the same as doing business, you weigh it thoroughly, and if you see it, you can only blame yourself for your bad vision, there is nothing to worry about." ”
In the East Building, Su Yanyan was also holding a book and looking at it, and the maidservant Xue Xue whispered on the side: "Miss, you are the East Building, and you met Master Hou before, no matter how you say that he will come to our side first, right?" ”
Su Yanyan looked at her, "Then what if he goes to Sister Li's side first?" Is there no justifiable excuse? ”
She closed the book and sighed softly, "A person will always find a reason for what he wants to do, let alone someone like him." ”
The sigh fell, and there was a sound of galloping footsteps downstairs.
The maid on duty outside the door downstairs hurriedly went upstairs, "Miss, Master Hou sent someone to deliver a letter." ”
The maidservants are stupid, what does it mean to send a letter on a candle night in this cave room?
Think about what other people's candles give to the bride on the night of the candle, what can this cold letter do!
Su Yanyan was also a little stunned, but still in line with his trust in Xia Jingyun, he took it and opened it.
[In heaven, I wish to be a winged bird.] There is a labor lady, go to the husband's room for a while. 】
At the same time, Qin Li also looked at the letter in his hand, [I am willing to be Lian Lizhi on the ground. There is a labor lady, go to the husband's room for a while. 】
After a short time, when the two of them went downstairs and came to a house between the two floors, facing the lake, they saw the brightly lit room, and at some point, pasted a striking and festive couplet.
[In heaven I wish to be a winged bird, and on the earth I wish to be a branch.] 】
Looking at the couplet, the two smart girls understood Xia Jingyun's mind almost at the same time.
Glancing at each other, Su Yanyan took the initiative to smile and said, "Sister, let's go in together?" ”
Qin Li took the initiative to stretch out her hand, took her, and walked into the room side by side.
Pushing the door in, Xia Jingyun was standing in the room, saluting respectfully to the second daughter, and said with a smile: "Two ladies, you are so polite for your husband." ”
The voices of the people around gradually disappeared, and the candle flame was gradually extinguished, leaving only one lamp, swaying like water beside the spacious and luxurious bed.
Xia Jingyun looked at the second daughter, and the second daughter was also looking at him.
In this situation, the three of them tacitly remembered the absurd night that did not succeed in Liancheng County.
The determination and affection at that time made everything better at this moment.
After a while, Xia Jingyun was naked, his head held high, got up and blew out the lamp, and the curtain was lowered to block everything.
This night, his love was deep-rooted, and she was dumbfounded.
He went deep into the hairless, and she reciprocated.
The red candle is dim, the tent turns over the red waves, and the waves are white, and the rules are the way.
Even though the road is long and obstructive, it will eventually break into it.
The next day, early in the morning.
The Marquis of Jianning's Mansion woke up in a busy situation, and the servants in the mansion were whispering, talking about the great achievements of the lord last night.
Our master just doesn't take the usual path, what you go before you, call them all together, and do everything!
That's called a Liso!
And after Xia Li learned the news, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and understood his son's intentions even more, saying that it was a flat marriage, and it would be inferior.
It's just that she still muttered in secret, this kid is really ridiculous, and he made a fuss on his wedding night!
When it was three o'clock in the morning, Xia Jingyun, who had been busy for most of the night, opened his eyes from the bed tiredly.
Qin Li and Su Yanyan have already left, as a bride, they have their own etiquette to follow, both of them are from big clans, these things are engraved in their bones, but they will not be as casual as Xia Jingyun.
Xia Jingyun rubbed his waist and got up, and the movement in the house naturally alarmed the maid who was waiting at the door early, and hurriedly came in to serve and wash.
Xia Jingyun also knew that the world was so difficult, if he forcibly refused, he might even have to punish these people, so he would let them too.
A moment later, as soon as Xia Jingyun, who had freshly refreshed, went out, he saw Su Yanyan and Qin Li returning together.
One lady, two husbands, for this grand celebration, for the union of the three families, but also for this huge turmoil that affected the entire Great Xia government and the opposition, drew a successful end.
——
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Xia Jingyun, who had just two days after the wedding, took Bai Yunbian and Honglu Siqing and his entourage on the road to the north.
In addition to the 2,000 elites drawn from the patrol battalion, there were 1,000 Wudang troops.
and a jade tiger returning to camp in the north.
At the same time, the king of Northern Liang Dingxi set out from Liangdu and headed for Lieyang Pass.
Three days later, in the Hou Mansion, Su Yanyan and Qin Li sat in the same room that day, with a letter that had just been delivered in front of them.
On the letter is the familiar and unique handwriting of his husband.
[A trip to the mountain, a trip to the water, walking to the side of the Yangguan, a thousand tent lights in the middle of the night. 】
[The wind is changing, the snow is changing, the dream of the broken hometown is not true, and there is no sound in the old garden. 】
