Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Wedding Day

Once the pre-wedding process begins, time flies like water.

On the second day of the seventh month, an auspicious day, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the elders of the royal family of Zongzheng Temple went to Fanyang Lu's house to give the wedding ceremony on behalf of His Majesty.

Early in the morning, all kinds of objects were tied with red silk and carried from the palace like flowing water. At the front are the nine things that have deep meanings, namely Hehuan, Jiahe, Ejiao, Dry Paint, Cotton Wadd, Jiuzipu, Zhu Wei, Shuangshi, and Longevity. These nine things have their own meanings, Hehuan means that the husband and wife are happy and happy, Jiahe means sharing happiness, glue and lacquer mean that the combination is firm, cotton wool means tenderness, Pu and Wei mean that both sides can bend and stretch and tolerate each other, and Shuangshi means that the two feelings are unswerving, and the longevity is naturally the meaning of longevity and health of the husband and wife.

After that, there are all kinds of rare treasures, some of which are prepared by the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple in accordance with the ritual system, and there are also those filled in by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the private treasury, which are dazzling and glorious.

The powerful families of the whole capital are paying attention to this matter, and they all want to see if there will be any omissions in the dowry prepared in such a hurry, or if they will be hastily done according to the etiquette system. It's no wonder that they think so, most of the ordinary people marry their wives and send the bride price to the bride's home a month or two before the wedding, which takes at least a few months to prepare.

But His Majesty's edict will let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince get married as soon as possible, and it is not surprising that the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple are not properly prepared.

But how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince let His Royal Highness the future Crown Princess give people a laughing stock in this matter. As a result, there is today's dowry that makes the powerful people of the middle family in the capital staggered, and the crowd of onlookers on the street is also shocked by the richness of the dowry, and they all say that His Majesty values His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the future Crown Princess.

There are all kinds of treasures in the open bridal gift box, such as topaz carved chain wall, mutton fat white jade carved ring pot, pastel barrel pot jade flower bonsai, green jade carved animal face pattern incense burner, gold silk inlaid jade Ruyi, and so on.

And after arriving at Fanyang Lu's house, the most eye-catching thing is the crown of the nine phoenix beads with gold and jade inlaid with gemstones, supplemented by several flower hairpins with gold and jade, which are stacked on top of each other, luxurious and dignified.

Everyone in the Lu family looked at the flower tree and hairpin that symbolized the authority of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and then looked at Lu Bingzhen, who was sitting upright, and suddenly had the real feeling that their little lady was going to enter the East Palace to be the crown princess.

In the past few days since the marriage, all kinds of accidents have emerged one after another, and everyone in the Lu family has been busy dealing with various things. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned safely, everyone in the Lu family thought that they could finally breathe a sigh of relief and slowly prepare to marry their daughter, but they didn't expect His Majesty to directly decree that the marriage should be completed as soon as possible.

It wasn't until these dazzling dowries were placed in front of them that everyone in the Lu family finally realized this matter.

But the interlocking wedding process didn't give them much time to be sad. The day of the shop is set for six days after the next hire.

Early in the morning of the ninth day of the seventh month, the magnates of the family in the capital saw a dowry of one hundred and twenty-eight lifts carried out from the Fanyang Lu family. Each box is full of real things, the front is naturally those things that mean good, and the back is what kind of makeup and face, silk and satin, tea set incense burner.

It can be said that the Fan Yang Lu family has prepared all kinds of things that can be used by the future crown princess.

But what surprised everyone was the contents of the last two dowry boxes.

A load of soil and tiles is stacked on top of each other, representing fields and real estate, and these profits will be attributed to Lu Bingzhen in the future. Judging from the amount of this burden, the fields in the dowry of the nine ladies of the Lu family may stretch for dozens of miles. There is also a stack of thick silver tickets, representing Lu Bingzhen's generous pressure box money, which is worth 10,000 yuan.

The things in front of each family will be prepared for marrying their daughters. These last two things show how favored this young lady who is about to get married is at home.

With the passage together, of course, there are also the maids and servants prepared by the Li family for Lu Bingzhen. After they arrived at the East Palace, they would place these dowries according to Lu Bingzhen's practice, so that Lu Bingzhen could live comfortably on the day he married into the East Palace.

The day after the bunk was the day of His Royal Highness the Prince's wedding.

On the tenth day of the seventh month, an auspicious day, it is advisable to get married. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got married, and the whole country celebrated.

At the beginning of the Yin period, Fan Yanglu's family had already lit the lamp to prepare, and the well-trained servants hurriedly walked through the courtyard with all kinds of things. The courtyard is decorated with red brocade, the red lanterns under the eaves seem to be out of sight, and the servants are also wearing new clothes today. The Lu family was full of joy up and down.

Halfway through, before the maids woke up, Lu Bingzhen woke up from his sleep. As soon as she remembered her mother's muttered words last night, she was preoccupied, and vaguely felt that it would not seem to be a good thing.

The ice cut who was keeping vigil seemed to have been waiting for Lu Bingzhen to get up. As soon as the curtain moved, Lu Bingzhen heard Cutting Bing ask softly, "Jiu Niangzi, are you awake?" ”

"Hmm." Lu Bingzhen replied tiredly, "Help me up, what time is it now?" "It's more than halfway through, lady, your face is not very good, it's better to apply your face, the makeup lady has been waiting, and it won't delay anything."

Lu Bingzhen nodded, and a group of people came forward to wrap her face around her, and the maids who came in walked in with the big wedding dresses that had been ironed and incensed. Just wait for Jiu Niangzi to be a little sober and put it on for her.

The seven-layer Zhai clothes were layered on top of each other, and after putting them on one by one, Lu Bingzhen only felt that his actions were a little difficult, and he had to rely on supporting the maid to act. And in summer, the weather is already a little hot, and after wearing these clothes, Lu Bingzhen only feels that the little ice in the house can no longer make people feel cool.

At this time, the Li family was finally busy with various things outside, and only then did he have time to take a look at his daughter who was basically dressed. Although Ah Rui in front of her was wearing long hair, and the ribbon and jade pendant on her dress were still next to her, she already had the luxury of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.

Li touched his daughter's sideburns with emotion, and estimated that the team that greeted him in person was about to leave the imperial city, and he didn't say anything, just told the maids and grandmothers to put makeup on their daughters.

The personal welcoming team will not come directly to the Lu family, they will go around the imperial city in a big circle, scattering all kinds of happy money and cakes along the way, in order to have fun with the people.

The people of the capital and the greedy children have long surrounded the entire street. When they saw that the person sitting on the tall horse was not the official of the Ministry of Rites who greeted him, but His Royal Highness the Prince of the East Palace, they couldn't help but be surprised. Seeing this, the servants sent by the powerful people of the family to inquire about the news also went back one after another to report the matter.

Everyone sighed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really undisguised his love for His Royal Highness the Crown Princess. There are also powerful people in the family who don't think so, and only think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only in the panic of His Royal Highness the Crown Princess for the sake of the round hall.

Grooming and dressing, paying faces, pulling buns, grooming, and wearing crowns. After a dizzy dress, more than an hour has passed.

The red chariot that conformed to the ritual system of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess had been parked at the door of the Lu family, and it was four red horses pulling the cart, all wearing copper masks, which were decorated with Zhai Yu, who was second only to the queen mother's ritual.

The wheel box cage is decorated with this Qu pattern, and it is painted with cloud phoenix, peacock, carved turtle pattern and other patterns, gorgeous and abnormal. The car is hung with purple clothes, purple painted cloud dragon ribbon two, red silk net, red Luo painted curtains, layered, making it difficult to see the figure of the person in the car.

Everyone in the Lu family was also taken aback when they saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come in person. Although there is a rule in the etiquette that the groom welcomes him, since the founding of the dynasty, no prince has personally welcomed the princess when he marries him.

All of a sudden, the ready son-in-law suddenly didn't know what to do.

Today, it is Lu Bingxi who is leading a group of Xiao Langjun of the Lu family who is ready to fight for his son-in-law. He was already dissatisfied with His Majesty's hasty decree to let his sister get married before he could finish the marriage, and when his grandfather entrusted him with this matter, he was ready to embarrass the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the royal family of Zongzheng Temple.

But after seeing His Royal Highness the Prince, Lu Bingxi was very subtle again. There is no way, Lu Bingxi feels that after seeing His Royal Highness the Prince's ruthless style of killing and killing on the battlefield, no one can face His Royal Highness the Crown Prince calmly, just restraining his fear and maintaining a calm surface has consumed a lot.

So, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the elders of the royal family of Zongzheng Temple, but after experiencing the meaning of beating his son-in-law, he successfully entered the Lu family.

Originally, according to the etiquette system, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who greeted them in person needed to salute the Lu family, but now it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself. Naturally, everyone in the Lu family could only tacitly pretend to forget about this matter.

It's just like this, it makes Lu Bingzhen, who is still grooming, suffer. The flower on his forehead was halfway outlined when he heard a noisy human voice coming from outside.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked in the front, and today everyone didn't expect him to appear here, so everyone was a little restrained around His Royal Highness the Prince.

A group of Xiao Langjun who came to greet their relatives only dared to gather around the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the royal family of Zongzheng Temple, and they were clamoring at the moment, "Come on, the bride will come out, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will personally come to welcome her into the East Palace." Not to be outdone, "Then ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a hypnotic poem, and after listening to the hypnotic poem, the bride will naturally dress up quickly." ”

Such a scene has been rehearsed thousands of times in the mind of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and without thinking, he blurted out a hypnotic poem. "In the bronze mirror of Zhu Yanyun's sideburns, why do you need to describe your eyebrows. Let's look at the red flowers, tired of Zhai car waiting for Qing to come. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here made a poem, and immediately someone copied the poem and sent it to the boudoir for the bride and relatives and friends to see.

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so unthinking, everyone was slightly stunned. Lu Bingzhen in the boudoir was also surprised, Lu Liuniang and Lu Qiniang were almost amazed. Lu Liuniang sighed, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not have prepared a hypnotic poem in advance, and he could blurt it out today." ”

Lu Liuniang looked at Lu Bingzhen, and remembered that her family affairs were undecided, and secretly thought in her heart, "It's good that I can also get a Langjun who is so remembered by me." ”

didn't see Lu Bingzhen's maid come out of the boudoir to hint, and everyone in the Lu family knew that Jiu Niangzi had not finished dressing up, so they had to bite the bullet and say, "It's not enough, I need a few more songs." ”

However, with a cup of tea, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blurted out a few hypnotic poems. Everyone in the Lu family secretly stomped their feet in their hearts, thinking, "Your Highness, don't you know that this hypnotic poem is to delay time for the bride's makeup, and you are simply impressed by the government and the opposition after the royal conquest, where will we embarrass you in such a trivial matter?" Jiu Niangzi, she really hasn't finished her makeup yet. ”
