0192 Etiquette is not informal
Hearing the kind tone of the emperor's family, Shen Zhezi was stunned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Two chamberlains walked out from the side of the hall and brought Shen Zhezi into the table and sat down. Although there was no shortage of doubts in his heart, after smelling the aroma of the full meal, Shen Zhezi's stomach rumbled. At dawn he didn't eat much at home, but now it was late afternoon, and he was already hungry.
Although he was hungry and thirsty, Shen Zhezi sat there without squinting. There is no such thing as food in the garden in the etiquette regulations, and he can't figure out what the emperor means, how dare he act rashly.
The emperor's laughter sounded behind the screen: "Seeing you like this, I remembered that on the day of my wedding, I suffered from the etiquette, and I couldn't even drop a drop of rice every day." In fact, what's the pain, the body is like a torture on the day of great joy, and I have palpitations when I think about it after a long time. There are only two sons-in-law in the palace, and you don't have to hold the etiquette anymore, just be suitable. ”
Hearing the emperor's words, Shen Zhezi's heart suddenly felt warm, and he felt like a confidant. The past half a day has been a painful experience for him that he has never had in his life, and when he changed his clothes just now, the close-fitting middle sheet was like being salvaged in the water, and the sweat was constantly dripping down in his hand.
"Little minister, thank you for your kindness!"
When he said this, Shen Zhezi was really a little grateful. This time, the emperor treated him kindly, which was very different from the previous time, this is Aiwu and Wu, and he really treats him as a junior, so considerate, this father-in-law is really not done in vain.
The emperor laughed twice in the palace, and then said, "Let's eat." ”
The waiter knelt beside the desk to prepare the meal, Shen Zhezi was no longer stubborn, picked up the chopsticks and began to pick up the vegetables, at first there was a reserve, but after a while, he was no longer reserved. The food on the table is not very delicacious, but it is exquisite and delicious.
The emperor was lying on the couch behind the screen, his eyes closed as if he was pretending to sleep, and he heard Shen Zhezi's slight chewing sound in his ears, and the corners of his mouth gradually showed a shallow smile, and after a long while, he said again: "The southerners eat rice and drink tea, and the northerners eat cakes and drink cheese, and the folk customs are different, each with its own flavor." Diet is the foundation of life. There is no distinction between north and south, there is no division between north and south, and there is no division between north and south for food. Some of these dishes on the table have both north and south, and some of them you may not have seen, but if you can enter the mouth, you should know that they are also meals. ”
After a pause, he heard His Highness pause in his chewing voice, and then said, "I only gossip occasionally, you don't have to answer, just continue eating." ”
Although the emperor said this, Shen Zhezi was still a little suspicious, just eating a meal, could it be that there was any mystery in it? How can it all be related to the issue of the division between the north and the south?
He picked up the chopsticks again, and while eating, he was also paying attention to these types of meals, wanting to get a glimpse of the mystery. The meals on this case were indeed sumptuous, but there were not many of them, and it seemed that he was allowed to taste them all. There are not only fish soup and meat porridge with southern characteristics, but also the roasted meat quiche that is habitual in the north, which has both appearance and flavor, and it obviously takes a lot of thought from the cook.
But from these, Shen Zhezi really couldn't see any mystery, so he tasted each of them hard, and gradually became full. The attendant next to him served tea for him to drink and eat.
After eating, Shen Zhezi was a little more energetic, and sat up to listen to the emperor's lecture. With many arrangements for Princess Xingnan's marriage, Shen Zhezi no longer had any doubts about the emperor's love for his daughter. Now that the princess's wedding is imminent, there should be some thoughtful words to talk about between Weng and his son-in-law.
However, he waited for a long time, and there was no sound from the temple. When he was suspicious in his heart, a palace man turned out from behind the screen and whispered: "When the good day is auspicious, Shen Langli will retreat and go to the queen's palace to listen to the training." ”
Shen Zhezi was even more puzzled when he heard this, even if he withdrew from the hall after the worship, he still couldn't turn his mind. He originally thought that this meeting with the emperor should be solemn and there was no lack of family affection, and the emperor entrusted his daughter to him before the big trip, and he should be full of words to say. But he didn't expect that after entering the palace, he ate a meal, sat down to eliminate food, and then withdrew, and he didn't even see the emperor's face, which was very different from the scene he imagined.
It is not surprising that Shen Zhezi did not see the emperor, when the emperor was dying, he should describe himself as withered and sickly, and it is reasonable that he does not want to be seen like this. It's just that although the emperor's attitude is kind, he only has a few words, which makes Shen Zhezi puzzled.
He walked in the garden after the palace people, but the destination he arrived at was not the Queen's Palace, but a toilet for him to solve his internal emergency. The toilet was also covered with brocade, and seeing the arrangement of these details, Shen Zhezi gradually came to his senses.
After eating and drinking enough and solving the physiological problem, Shen Zhezi came to the queen's palace full of energy. However, the treatment here was very different, the queen also sat behind the screen, but Shen Zhezi was not allowed to sit down, kneeling in the hall for nearly half an hour, listening to the words of a palace person beside the queen.
This precept is a beautiful and dual, brilliant writing, and it is evident that it has been deliberated for a long time, but behind this sprinkling of written language, it reveals an indescribable alienation. As for the content, it is also all-inclusive, from teaching him to respect the princess to serving the country loyally, the serious and indifferent tone is quite in line with the process of listening to the training in the garden.
Shen Zhezi also knew how much the queen looked down on him, and he didn't expect to enjoy any courtesy here. As for those cold precepts, he seemed to listen to them with great respect, but in his heart he was still thinking about his previous experience in the emperor's palace.
The emperor's words were much less than the empress's precepts, but they were undoubtedly more like the attitude of an elder, the details were exhaustive, and he did not oppress and reprimand with majesty, but the feelings brought to Shen Zhezi were particularly great. As for the discussion of the north and south meals, Shen Zhezi gradually thought through it, if he didn't make a mistake, the meals on the case should be arranged according to the princess's daily eating habits.
From this subsection, Shen Zhezi felt the emperor's love for his daughter. As far as the emperor is concerned, no matter what the dying person says, he probably can't see what kind of effect he will receive. Therefore, with only practical actions, I hope that Shen Zhezi can understand the feelings of his parents licking calves and treat the princess well.
Once he had these realizations, Shen Zhezi felt more in his heart. No matter what lofty ambitions a person has in his heart, when he is dying, what he will never forget in his heart is human affection, which is probably the responsibility and responsibility of the last responsibility in life.
He has not yet become a parent, and he is not qualified to evaluate the difference between the attitude and behavior of the emperor and the empress, but there is no doubt that the emperor's approach can make him feel more. Although many things are not spoken, this kind of silence is more like an invisible promise between men that does not need to be spoken.
This kind of understanding made Shen Zhezi realize that in addition to the political and interest factors between his marriage with the princess, it was more profound and timeless. From then on, the little girl's daily life and diet, life of blessings and misfortunes, happiness or desolation, happiness or sadness, are all closely related to herself. This is the solemnity and heaviness of the marriage of the human avenue, and it is a contract to use a lifetime as a footnote!
After listening to the queen's lecture with a slightly heavy heart, when Shen Zhezi left the garden, it was already dusk. He gathered with a group of honor guests, and after paying respects to the ministers, he left Taicheng. Next, there is still a banquet etiquette for the ministers in Taicheng, but it has nothing to do with Shen Zhezi.
The clamoring outside Taicheng continued, and the next destination was the end of the day, the Princess's Mansion in Wuyi Lane.
The guard of honor set off from outside Taicheng, and the huge procession added solemnity to the setting sun. For these small people, who marries the princess has nothing to do with them, but in this celebratory atmosphere, it is precious to be able to temporarily forget the hardships and hardships of life, and to have a little vision and fantasy of the future prosperity.
Today's princess wedding, the ceremonial drive across the streets and alleys, but all the people who have the official position in the body, must open the door, set up a table in front of the court, and put wine and dishes according to their respective ranks to feast on the guard of honor, and at the same time have to have the children of the family kneel in the garden to reward, mostly silk and silk ceremonial vessels.
Wuyi Lane is full of nobles and nobles, and as soon as you turn into the alley, you will see that everything from the street to the end of the street is full of food and wine. There are children waiting in front of each family to respond to the ceremony, and they naturally do not have to bow down to Shen Zhezi, but have to wait for the palace attendants in the garden behind the honor guard.
When walking in front of the Langya Wang family's court, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but be happy. I saw that there were more than a dozen plans in front of Wang's grand mansion, each with wine and food, and if the people who didn't know saw it, they also said that his family was happy to have a flowing water banquet.
However, there is nothing wrong with the Wang family's formation, there are more than a dozen people in his family who have knighthoods and officials, and there are probably too few free places to be completely opened. After these cases, there was only one young man standing alone, and it was Wang Yunzhi, the son of Wang Shu.
If Shen Zhezi can take a high look at any of the many children of the Wang family, it is this Wang Yunzhi. He had only met Wang Yunzhi a few times on certain occasions, but they had no contact with each other. At this time, seeing Wang Yunzhi standing in front of the court door with a slight single figure, Shen Zhezi bowed slightly to him in the honor guard, Wang Yunzhi was slightly stunned, and then gave it back.
After a while, the princess's mansion was vaguely in sight. There was a group of people waiting there for a long time, and when they saw the honor guard coming, they acted quickly, and sprinkled clear water, among which there was a princess attaché who bowed down to the road, and asked Shen Zhezi to dismount.
Before entering the mansion, Shen Zhezi still had to salute the princess's mansion, quickly entered the mansion after getting on the shoulder, changed his clothes, and then returned to the front of the court as the host, and invited the guests who had been with him for a day into the mansion.
At this point, all the etiquette of the wedding in Jiankang City came to an end. Next, receiving guests and banqueting clan relatives no longer need Shen Zhezi to come forward. All he had to do was return to the palace and wait for the night to make a small fan salute with the princess in the door.
