Chapter 15: Wang Shouren marries
Zhu Jie'an endured his excitement and prepared to salute.
At this time, dressed in a champion robe, Wang Shouren, who was supposed to be preparing to get married, was also guarding the side, and his father-in-law had never seen the emperor, so he had to accompany him, just in case something went wrong.
The sedan chair carried by sixteen people finally came to the front, and Qianhu stepped forward to open the sedan curtain and said respectfully: "The emperor, it's here." β
Zhu Jianshen stepped off the sedan chair, glanced around, locked his eyes on Wang Shouren, and praised:
"This champion robe is really spiritual!"
"Caomin (Weichen) see Emperor Taishang." The two sons-in-law saluted together.
"No courtesy, no courtesy." Zhu Jianshen smiled and said, "Don't pestle here, if the big day is delayed because of me, then it's not mine." β
"Yes, yes, ah...... no" Zhu Jie'an was too excited, a little incoherent, he was so excited that he couldn't take care of King Ning and his party.
Fortunately, Wang Shouren was busy with King Ning, Prince Ning, political envoys and other adults who came to make a simple salute, and then invited:
"Emperor Taishang, King Ning, sir, please come in."
"Please come in, please come in." Zhu Jie'an was also busy inviting, and deliberately glanced at Li Qing, who was riding with the Emperor, and his eyes flashed with surprise.
However, such a big scene can't surprise him, although today is a happy day for his daughter and son-in-law, the protagonist can only be the emperor, and he can't be slack.
β¦
The people who come are all big people with heads and faces, and most of them are mainly civil officials, and they are all people who want noodles.
There are antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and jade...... None of them were empty-handed.
Li Qing and Zhu Jianshen were exceptions, as soon as they came, they sent them in advance; Second, Zhu Jianshen is the emperor, and there is no reason to give gifts to his courtiers, and Li Qing ...... He was thick-skinned and didn't feel ashamed to eat in vain, and besides, he didn't eat in vain.
There are a lot of people who came this time, but nine out of ten people are here to protect Zhu Jianshen, not to eat and drink wine, and there are less than ten real guests.
The courtyard is not crowded.
Zhu Jie'an learned the news in advance, and deliberately arranged relatives and friends to the courtyard next door, and vacated the front hall so that it would be convenient for Emperor Taishang, King Ning and the adults to talk.
"Xiao Wang, don't stick here," Zhu Jianshen said with a smile, "You are the protagonist today, don't delay the auspicious time, go quickly." βgΓ²ΠΉΠͺ.ΕΞg
"Yes, then the grass people ...... Excuse me. Wang Shouren saluted Zhu Jianshen, and then waved again, "Xiaosheng retired." β
The adults, who have always been high, are particularly kind today, and they all nodded with a chuckle, and praised them: "Young talents, young talents......
Even with them, Zhujie'an, who is usually not rare, is also very approachable today, and they congratulate one after another.
Zhu Jie'an didn't dare to hold it up, he was excited, but he knew his position, knowing that this was all the face of the emperor, and he had nothing to do with him, so he returned the gifts one by one and served carefully......
The emperor is here, tea, snacks or something, naturally have to be sent quickly, and at the same time, the wedding process is also in full swing, including dishes and wine.
Since Zhu Jianshen entered the courtyard, all aspects have been accelerating......
Zhu Jianshen's table only has Li Qing, King Ning, Prince Ning, and Jiang. Xibu's political envoy, the space is very spacious, and everyone can't figure out Li Qing's details, but since he is a person next to the emperor, he can't be offended, and he speaks very well.
These people who are full of poetry and books have an excellent sense of proportion in their speech, and they are also good at this kind of scene, talking and laughing freely, which makes people feel happy.
is flattering, and does not fall into his own identity, and he is just right.
The place is different from the temple, the temple is full of people, but the majority of the yang plots, and the factions are also clear at a glance, while the place is intricate, all of them are sleek and tight, adhering to the principle that no one can be offended.
Based on this, in terms of human sophistication, the place is far more rich than the temple
This has been the case for thousands of years, and it has been ingrained for too many years to change.
Zhu Jianshen came to play, and so did Li Qing, the two didn't care about this, but they didn't deal with the scene, it was completely how comfortable they were.
The two barely talked, but chatted with each other......
"Li Qing, have you ever attended someone else's wedding?"
"Ordinary people, this is the first time." Li Qing said.
'His name is also Li Qing......
Hearing this name, the high-ranking officials couldn't help but look at him more, but this name was not uncommon, and they didn't think much about it.
"Speaking of which, it's the first time I've come, and I really don't know the difference between people getting married." Zhu Jianshen was full of expectations.
The people present knew a lot, but no one dared to spoil it, and it was bad for Emperor Yaxing.
The one in front of him is an iron-fisted emperor, although he has passed on the throne and has become the emperor, no one dares to really regard him as an ordinary emperor.
Didn't wait long,
After Wang Shouren left, it took only two quarters of an hour for him to come again, and at the same time, the bride was also led by the maid.
The Emperor Taishang came to see the excitement, this worship hall, naturally he can't carry him, and Zhujie'an is also accompanying the Emperor Taishang, worshipping the high hall, and can only worship in front of the guests.
When the newcomer arrived, the scene that was originally a little noisy immediately quieted down, and all eyes were focused on the newcomer.
The teacup that Li Qing raised was just in his hand, full of curiosity.
After a while, Wang Shouren and the Zhu clan stopped within a zhang.
At this time, an obese old man shouted:
"Dressed properly!"
Li Qing and Zhu Jian are cold and unprepared, but others are accustomed to it, obviously, they want to shout like this.
Wang Shouren raised his hand and straightened his clothes, and the Zhu clan also helped the phoenix crown under the red hijab.
"Kneel~!"
The little couple knelt down.
"A kowtow, worship the wind and rain, the five grains are abundant, and the country and the people are safe."
Wang Shouren and Zhu kowtowed.
"Bow again, and pray that all things will go well and the family business will prosper."
The young couple prostrated again.
"Three prostrations, worship the ancestors and the ancestors......"
After worshipping heaven and earth and ancestors, the little couple came to Zhu Jianshen and worshiped Jun again.
This is an increased link, the heaven and earth monarch is the teacher, and the monarch is in front of the family, so it is natural to put it in front of the high hall.
The three kowtows worship the deceased ancestors, this is filial piety, and death is great, so it is placed in front of Zhu Jianshen.
I have to say that in terms of etiquette, the ancients attached far more importance to it than later generations...... Li Qing nodded secretly.
β¦
Worship heaven and earth first, and then worship the high church.
Worshipping heaven and earth made Li Qing's eyes shine, but the worship of the high hall link is not much different from later generations, serving tea, changing words, and giving red envelopes, the process is very similar, but it is more respectful and pious.
Then, it was time for the husband and wife to worship each other.
Li Qing relished it and wanted to see if this last worship would be the same as the future generations, and the bride and groom would have to meet.
Unexpectedly, this last bow was not the same thing as what he thought at all.
"Husband and wife worship each other!" The old man still has a hanging voice, and he is full of breath, obviously professional, and listening to it makes people feel refreshed and energized.
The young couple turned around and faced each other.
"Bow down, tie the knot!"
With his left hand in front and his right hand against his left hand, Wang Shouren raised it high, leaned forward, and made a very standard salute.
Zhu's right hand is in front, and his right hand is against his left hand, and he is raised to the position of the chest upwards, which is also a salute.
The difference is that Wang Shouren leans forward, and she bends her knees slightly, so that the two of them salute just equally.
After a pause of two breaths, the couple straightened up.
The old man's voice sounded at the right time: "Goodbye, common heart!" β
Wang Shouren made a salute, and so did the Zhu clan.
presently
"Three bows, respectful!"
The young couple bowed again, paused slightly, and straightened up.
At this time, the old man's ruddy face became more and more ruddy, and he took a long breath, and his voice became more and more energetic.
"A match made in heaven! White heads are concentric! Couple success! Respect each other like a guest!! β
"Rite into !!"
It's over...... Li Qing hasn't seen enough yet.
This chapel is really different from later generations, it is very festive, not the foil of the big red wedding robe, but ...... Give an intuitive feeling.
It's really festive, and it seems that there is an inexplicable joy rippling in the heart, which makes people feel happy.
Dipping with joy,
Li Qing had often heard people say these four words before, and he had said them himself, but until today, he could be regarded as feeling them.
He's got it!
He experienced the joy and was really ...... It's wonderful.
Worship heaven and earth, worship the church, worship each other, every link is so pleasing to the eye, not like the later generations, bow with your back to the north and south, turn around and bow to your parents, and finally bow to each other.
At this time, the marriage ceremony was really festive, and even the fat old man seemed to be dipped in too much joy, looking at it all festive......
After the ceremony, the young couple faced the guests and shook again.
The adults also raised their wine glasses, saying auspicious words on their lips, Li Qing had no experience, so he raised his wine glasses and said two words about giving birth to a noble son early and being together for a hundred years.
Zhu Jianshen was also inexperienced, and he also wanted to say these two sentences, but he was robbed by Li Qing, and he couldn't help but glared at Li Qing with resentment, and his face darkened......
The dishes are not sumptuous, but they are also meat and vegetarian.
They are all big pot dishes, and the hired chef cooks them at home, but they have a different taste.
These adults eat a lot better, and they are not very interested in this dish, and they are more toasting to the Emperor and patting on the back.
Li Qing doesn't care about those, he picks up the chopsticks and makes it, and he is a professional in eating the table......
After a short time, Wang Shouren went and returned, toasting one by one.
"Xiaosheng respects the emperor."
"Hmm." Zhu Jianshen raised his glass and drank it all, and said with a smile: "Today's little Dengke, he will be a big Dengke tomorrow!" β
Wang Shouren nodded sneeringly: "Relying on the Emperor's holy words, Xiaosheng worked hard." β
Seeing that Emperor Taishang was like this, a group of people such as King Ning, Prince Ning, and political envoys became more and more kind towards Wang Shouren.
This young man has a bright future!
β¦
In the evening, at the urging of King Ning and the political envoy, Zhu Jianshen had to embark on the return journey back to King Ning's mansion.
Li Qing deliberately lagged behind by half a beat, found Wang Shouren alone, and said:
"After becoming a family, you will be an adult in the future, and you will have to collect your temperament, and from today onwards, you have another identity and one more responsibility."
"I understand," Wang Shouren nodded, "sir, are you and the Emperor Taishang going to leave now?" β
Li Qing smiled and said, "I'll see you again." β
Wang Shouren also smiled and said, "Have a good trip." β
