In an instant, it was August 15, which was the day of family reunion, and the day of Rong Run and Yuanyue's wedding.

It happened that the Tai Hospital made a decoction for the Queen Mother, and performed acupuncture treatment, and the Queen Mother's body gradually recovered, but she was afraid that she would be sick to a couple, so she did not attend their wedding banquet in person. It's just that when he got up in the morning, he called Rong Run to the palace, instructed a few words, and asked the palace maid to take all the rewards to Rong Run, and asked him to bring them to Yuanyue.

August 15 is the day when the moon is like the middle of the sky, and the day when there is no defect in the plate, which coincides with the name of the first month. The palace chose this day for the big wedding ceremony, and Rong Run was very satisfied.

He had been preparing for this wedding banquet for a long time, and in addition to the exception sent by the palace house, he himself added another 100,000 silver to it, for fear of wronging his bride. From the Prince's Mansion to the main gate of the Wei Mansion, all the way is covered with red silk. This road is far more than ten miles, and it is just a good meaning to take ten miles of red makeup.

In the past, it was a case in the palace that the concubines and concubines were provincial, and they wanted to clean the water and splash the streets, and the loess mat road. But Rong Run thinks that the loess tastes fishy, and all the way is paved with pepper flowers, which symbolize many sons and blessings, and are a taste of spices. All the pepper flowers used in this way are purchased from the provinces at high prices, and when they arrive, they are also protected by flower houses. In the first two hours of the wedding, it can be taken off and quickly spread on the ground by the inner supervisor. So as not to pick it too early and dilute the taste.

A silk red gold phoenix crown in January is made by Rong Run's selection of famous hands in Dachu, one by one. This fixed phoenix crown, the scraps alone are left with five catties of weight, which shows that the materials are very exquisite, not to mention how exquisite the crafts such as the silk hollowing are.

The middle of the phoenix crown is inlaid with phoenix blood red jade, which complements each other with red gold, graceful and luxurious.

The old lady held a big red hijab with embroidered mandarin ducks playing in the water in her hand, and looked at the Yuan Yue in the mirror with a smile.

"Beautiful, I think it's even more beautiful and beautiful than when the three girls got married. ”

Yuan Yue nodded, got up and looked at the old lady and Aunt Yu, leaned down to worship, and Aunt Yu hurriedly helped her: "Good boy, today is your big day, the bride is the biggest, don't worship." ”

Yuan Yue wiped her tears and said: "Yuan Yue has not been outstanding since she was a child, it is her grandmother and aunt who have always treated Yuan Yue well, and Yuan Yue is out of the cabinet today, so she naturally wants to say goodbye to her grandmother and aunt." ”

The old lady nodded: "Then let's say goodbye." ”

Xiang'er took a kneeling mat, and Yuan Yue respectfully kowtowed three heads to the old lady and Aunt Yu, and just when Wei Dongshu came in, he kowtowed three to his father.

Wei Dongshu was stunned for a while, Yuan Yue, a hard-working child, finally had such a glorious day, God is not too unfair.

"Get up. Wei Dongshu said, with some tears in his eyes.

The sedan chair has been waiting outside the house, the big red sedan chair in Prince Bao's mansion has sixteen sedan chairs, Wei Dongshu took a look, sixteen is the number used by the queen of heaven, and then went down the steps to ask the celebrant supervisor.

The inner eunuch smiled and said: "Although the second lady is in the sedan chair, this is the queen's grace, and the emperor also allowed it." The emperor said that Prince Bao and the emperor's mother are brothers, and Prince Bao's marriage today is a great joy for the whole world. This is Fengyu, specially adding joy and scenery to the second lady's wedding. Lord Wei, the little slave is here to congratulate Lord Wei. ”

Wei Dongshu thanked him, and then bowed in the direction of the palace to thank Junen, and then asked someone to take a silver ticket of one hundred taels and secretly stuffed it into the hands of the inner eunuch of the celebrity.

The inner supervisor of the ceremonial department smiled and retracted the silver ticket into his sleeve, and said: "Lord Wei is a relative of the emperor, and it is the blessing of a little slave to be able to do things for Lord Wei, why should Lord Wei be so polite?"

Wei Dongshu smiled slightly: "Today is the wedding of the little girl, this is just a little joy, and the father-in-law doesn't have to be polite." ”

The inner supervisor bowed down and smiled: "Since this is the case, then the little slave will be rewarded by Lord Xie Wei." ”

Yuan Yue sat in the sedan chair, and couldn't help but lift the sedan curtain to look back at the Wei Mansion, the high-walled deep courtyard where she had lived for nearly 20 years, containing how much joy and bitterness of her childhood, the happiest and most glorious moments of her life were left in the house. Her love, hatred, and hatred, her life and death, honor and disgrace, are all quietly engraved between the blue and black brick walls of the mansion, turning into cracks, like an old man with a belly of stories, quietly telling to future generations.

"Good boy, put down the sedan curtain, go to the palace to live a good life, you must know that it hurts, go." The old lady said, and pressed down the red hijab that Yuan Yue had raised in the corner.

Sixteen sedan chairs carried Yuanyue, and the drum band of more than 100 people in front and behind beat all the way, along the street paved with pepper flowers and red silk, and walked in the direction of Prince Bao's mansion.

Wei Dongshu helped the old lady and Aunt Yu to get into the sedan chair, and he stepped on the horse and followed behind the sedan chair.

This is the first time in his life that he has given his daughter a marriage, and he didn't expect to give it to Yuanyue.

The sedan chair was carried all the way from the Wei Mansion to the residence of Prince Bao, who was dressed in red and was standing at the main gate of the palace to greet him. On both sides of the gate were the civil and military ministers of the court, and the inner eunuchs who sang the rite list shouted so loudly that their voices were almost hoarse.

Red blankets were spread out in the clearing, and a group of half-sized children wearing red vests stood in the open space setting off firecrackers. The crackling of firecrackers made people's ears hurt.

If it weren't for the marriage of the Son of Heaven's own brother, who would have such a big pomp? The courtiers covered their ears with one hand and smiled all over their faces, but they were curious about the appearance of the second lady of the Wei family.

The sedan chair fell to the ground, Rong Run greeted it with joy, the sedan curtain was opened, and there was a smell of agarwood incense. Yuan Yue held Xi Po's hand and slowly walked out of the sedan chair.

The children were mischievously lying on the ground, trying to peek into the bride's face from below.

Although adults are curious, they don't play like children, but judging from Miss Wei's graceful behavior, they secretly guess Miss Wei's face.

"Lord, let us see how beautiful the bride looks!" I don't know which general suddenly shouted like this, and everyone burst into laughter.

Rong Run also smiled: "If you want to see it, you have to line up, the princess of this king, this king hasn't seen it yet, how can you let you look first?"

There was another burst of laughter.

Rong Run introduced Yuan Yue to the mansion.

The emperor and empress's Luan Jiafengyu had already arrived, and they were sitting in the Dahua Hall waiting for this couple. With the emperor here, the two elders, Wei Dongshu and the old lady, could only stand beside them.

The two newcomers worshiped the emperor and queen, and then worshiped Wei Dongshu and the old lady. This family affair is decided, the emperor smiled, and called the house to open a banquet. Yuan Xi was pregnant and inconvenient to drink, and it was not good to stay in this noisy place for a long time, so he went to the back hall with the old lady Aunt Yu and others to accompany Yuan Yue.

The old lady hadn't seen Yuan Xi for a long time, and seeing that she had a big belly, she helped her waist with concern, and said with a smile: "Niang Niang's body is heavy, and she personally participated in Yuanyue's wedding, which really gives the Wei family enough dignity." ”

Yuan Xiwan smiled: "Grandmother's words are out of sight, I am the daughter of the Wei family, and today is the wedding banquet of the second sister, no matter how inconvenient it is, I have to come." ”

When the old lady heard the sound of her grandmother, her heart swelled with this warm current, and she helped Yuanxi's hand and said, "Now that you are a month old, you must be careful everywhere and at all times, let's go." ”

In the cave room, the two little maids supported Yuan Yue on the left and right, and slowly sat down on the mattress. There is a bit of a diaphragm under the mattress, and when you touch it with your hand, it is all small pieces. It is the folk custom of spreading tents, and under the mattress are some peanuts, longan, red dates, chestnuts, and one or two gold bills.

The two little girls stood on the left and the right, holding the scale rod used to pick the hijab in their hands, and the head inlaid with red gold was illuminated by the light of the red candle.

An old mother in the room is not idle in her mouth, saying auspicious words like a broken bean, rapping and singing, the tone is very good, but the voice is a little loud, and the person who said it is dizzy and tinnitus.

Yuan Yue sat quietly on the bed, and the sweet fragrance in the room penetrated her nose.

Melons and fruits should be fresh, with a fragrant aroma. The snacks are also made with fresh flower petals, which blend in with the aroma of melons and fruits. The incense in the room is not ordinary sandalwood and agarwood, but the incense of Yang Guifei in the inner house.

Yuan Yue sat here, covered by a hijab, and could only see the small piece of heaven and earth in front of him. From here, you can vaguely hear the noise in the courtyard in front of you, the noise of the wedding banquet, and the laughter of the toasters. Yuan Yue was a little nervous, I don't know what Rong Run will drink and return to his room, if he is drunk like mud, then he can still keep his word if he wins his own business?

Yuan Yue twisted a red silk handkerchief.

"What time is it?" she whispered.

The little maid smiled and said, "If you go back to the princess, it's almost three days." ”

She called herself a princess Yuanyue held her breath and felt that her heartbeat was speeding up, yes, she was already Xiao Rongzhan's princess, and she was going to get married today.

Yuan Yue closed her eyes and recalled that night, in a small wooden house ten miles outside the city, she was confused and was Xiao Rongshen*. She shuddered.

"Why is the princess shivering? But do you feel cold?" The little palace maid was very considerate, and summoned the other maids and said, "You close the doors and windows tightly, don't let the wind come in, the princess is afraid of the cold." ”

A few other people, look at me, let me look at you, this August 15, the summer heat has not dissipated, even if you are afraid of the cold, it will not be so exaggerated. But no one dared to say anything, just answered, and went to close the door more tightly.

"Don't bother, I'm not cold. Yuan Yue said softly.

It was still the voice of the little maid: "Although the summer heat has not subsided, but seeing that it is autumn and the night is cool, Princess A-Ning, you still have to be careful." ”

Yuan Yue bit her lip, wanting to see what this warm-hearted little palace maid looked like, but the red hijab covered her vision. She just twisted herself a little and sat back honestly.

"If the princess is tired, you can rest first. The slave maid will bring a pillow for the princess to lean on for a while?" asked the little maid.

"Don't bother, I'm not tired. Yuan Yue shook her head, and the steps hanging down her sideburns shook in a long line, touching the sound of tinkling.

I don't know how long it took, but Yuan Yue faintly heard the door squeak. A heavy footstep came into the eardrums, and several little palace maids laughed: "Slaves and maids congratulate the prince, congratulations to the princess." ”
