Chapter 77: The King of Jin Becomes Married (I)

Ancient Chinese sacrifices are very important, of course, unlike the West, China is mainly to worship ancestors, and all major events have to be sacrificed to the heavens to tell the ancestors.

In the early morning of this day, the palace offered sacrifices to the temple, heaven and earth.

The king of Jin married a wife.

The convoy from the Vermilion Bird Gate came slowly, because Xiao Menglan was not from the capital, so the starting point of everything was at the city gate, and the main street was full of heavily armed guards, as well as the crowd watching the excitement in the rear.

In order to show her love, the queen removed her chariot in advance, and the queen's guard of honor was redecorated and redecorated for Xiao Menglan today.

Countless women looked at the huge chariots that crossed the main street and were surrounded by hundreds of guards, and were envious, is this the treatment of marrying a royal clan?

The convoy slowly came to the gate of the palace, and Yang Guang was already waiting here at this time.

The curtain was slowly pulled up, Yang Guang looked at Xiao Menglan who walked out of it, today she was dressed in red and gold, her bright eyes were with a shallow smile, the two of them didn't say a word officially, I didn't expect that this was about to get married.

Got out of the car and came to Yang Guang's side, it was a little embarrassing at this time, Xiao Menglan was much taller than Yang Guang, after all, she was three years older.

Seeing this, Xiao Menglan bent her knees slightly, trying her best to maintain her demeanor and lower her height.

The ceremonial officer shouted: "The Great Sui Imperial Ceremony, the daughter of the Xiao family of the Western Liang Family, has a good appearance, is sincere and good, but benevolent and respectful, and is now the ancestor of heaven and earth, and is named the concubine of the King of Jin, Maoyan Branch, and the husband and wife are harmonious." ”

Xiao Menglan took the booklet and the gold seal given by the salute officer.

With the golden seal of the booklet, you are the official concubine of the royal family, if you don't have it, the royal family will not recognize it, and there is no name on the clan pedigree, because of this, even if Yang Yong doesn't like his concubine, but it is the concubine who is being married by the Ming media, and it is on the family tree, even if you don't like it, it is difficult to change.

"Please, King Jin, Princess Jin will enter the palace to pay homage."

The two of them wore dresses and walked towards the palace, but fortunately, Weiyang Palace was not far from the palace gate.

As the two walked, the ritual music played, and Yang Guang saw that Xiao Menglan was having difficulty walking and said, "You stand up straight and walk." ”

"Your Highness, I'm fine."

"I'm afraid you'll be tired enough when you walk in front of your father and queen mother like this, and there are still a lot of courtesies in the back, so you have to save some effort."

"Your Highness, I can do it."

"Stand up straight, I'm not afraid of what people say."

Xiao Menglan glanced at Yang Guang gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

Xiao Menglan is indeed taller than ordinary women when she stands upright, and she looks even more slender when she is thin.

Yang Guang whispered: "My mother is a nest high." Xiao Menglan blushed again.

The emperor wore a formal dragon robe, and the queen wore a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, and the Zhai clothes dragged extremely long.

"Son, meet my father and queen mother."

The two knelt down to their parents together, and the emperor smiled: "Let's be even." The queen was even more smiling and happy, and she could see that she was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law.

During this time, Xiao Menglan lived in the palace, she was smart, and she would not feel cumbersome once she was taught etiquette, Queen Dugu had seen so many people, and Xiao Menglan was the only young woman who really couldn't fault her.

"Please ask Your Majesty to pay tribute to the temple."

As the voice of the ceremonial official sounded, the emperor and empress took the little husband and wife to sue the temple, which was an extremely cumbersome process, slow and regular.

The royal clan, the elders of the nobles, and some high-ranking ministers lined up on both sides, watching the ceremony from a distance.

Yang Jun complained: "This big sun, it's hot, I'm sweating in this dress, the second brother's clothes are probably soaked, if I get married, I must choose early spring or autumn, this weather is really unbearable." ”

"Third brother, it's up to us to decide." Xiu'er answered.

Yang Yong glared at his two younger brothers: "Do you want to do so much at a young age?" It's not there yet. ”

Yang Jun replied: "Big brother, why don't you see the crown princess?" Is it quarreling again. ”

Yang Yong didn't bother to pay attention to him, didn't reply, but said with a little mockery: "The little kid knows what the relationship between husband and wife." ”

The youngest Yang Liang said: "Yes, you really don't understand the second brother and third brother. ”

Yang Jun and Yang Xiu looked at Yang Liang with puzzled expressions, thinking about it carefully, as if he was indeed qualified to say this.

"The second sister-in-law seems to be much taller than the second brother, and the second brother is afraid that he won't be able to hold it." Yang Xiu muttered to herself.

Yang Liang nodded: "I also have experience in this, so I can let my daughter-in-law hug me." ”

For a while, Yang Yong, Yang Jun, and Yang Xiu had nothing to say, and they had no taboos.

It took more than an hour to pay tribute to the temple, and after all the ceremonies were completed, Yang Guang was already hot and almost suffering from heat stroke, on the other hand, Xiao Menglan's little face was flushed with sunburn.

The ceremonial music was masterful, and the ceremonial official shouted: "Set off for the Jin Palace." ”

The emperor and the empress did not leave the palace, Queen Dugu took Xiao Menglan's hand and said: "The ceremony is over, your name is recorded on the genealogy of the Yang family, from today onwards you are a member of the Yang family, and in the future, you husband and wife should be harmonious, respectful and loving, and continue to have descendants as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you, Queen."

"It's time to change your tune."

"Thank you ~ Queen Mother."

Queen Dugu smiled: "Go ahead, live a good life." ”

The procession of marriage turned from the palace to the Jin Palace, and Yang Guang and Xiao Menglan had completed the ceremony at this time, so they could ride together.

After entering the car, Yang Guang could finally relax a little more with the sound of gongs and drums outside, and then he half lay down, while Xiao Menglan was still restrained and sat upright.

Seeing this situation, Yang Guang had to sit up right first.

With the sound of ritual music outside, the two were speechless for a while, and neither of them, who had a deep friendship, knew how to speak first.

Knowing each other on a blind date, first getting married and then loving, this is simply the standard beginning of an unhappy marriage in modern times.

Yang Guang thought about it and spoke first: "You prepared early this morning, I heard that I got up in the middle of the night to dress up, but I have something to eat." ”

"The concubine is not hungry."

He said this but his body was very honest, and his stomach screamed at this time.

With the cooing sound, Xiao Menglan, who often blushes, turned red this time.

Yang Guang smiled and took out the pastry he had hidden in his cuffs: "Mama Li told me to let me hide something, I didn't know it at first, but I didn't expect it to be really useful." ”

Two small and delicate pastries appeared in Yang Guang's hand and handed them to Xiao Menglan.

"Your Highness, the concubine is really not hungry."

"Although Mama Li in my house is sour and mean, she is very familiar with these things, and she has taken them into account, and when I get to the palace, I have to greet the guests outside, you have to meet the female elders from various mansions, and when you have to be busy, I don't know when I can eat, let's pad first."

Hearing Yang Guang say this, Xiao Menglan took the fruit, ate it in small bites, and smiled lightly.

"Your Highness, it's so sweet."

bang

bang

Suddenly there was an explosion outside, Xiao Menglan's frightened face turned pale, the sound seemed to be the same as thunder, and she reacted and hurriedly pulled Yang Guang to squat: "Your Highness be careful." ”

These two explosions startled everyone who accompanied them.

Yang Guang stopped him in a panic and smiled with relief: "Don't be afraid, this is not a thunderstorm, this is called fireworks, it is a gift I prepared for our wedding, and it was made by Sun Simiao, the king of medicine." ”

"Fireworks?"

Yang Guang opened the curtain of the chariot, revealing a slit looking at the sky, and the white smoke that gradually dispersed, saying that it was a firework was actually a second kick, and then suddenly there was an explosion, which frightened Xiao Menglan and hid back.

"Your Highness, this is too scary."

"You and I want to sacrifice to heaven and earth when we get married, I am afraid that heaven and earth will not wake up, so I will blow it up twice, so I can come and see, I Yang Guang married a good daughter-in-law."
