Chapter 62: The Fifteenth Day of the Great Marriage
On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Beiyou moved to a new residence and moved from Han Xuan's mansion to the emperor's mansion, which was also the only emperor's mansion in the Daqi court in the past 60 years. As for Emperor Wai of the previous dynasty, because he was demoted to a knighthood, his mansion was not the emperor's mansion equivalent to that of the princes, but the mansion of the state prince.
At the same time, His Majesty the Emperor's will to reward him has also come down, and Xu Beiyou will be made an earl, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that it has no substantive significance, it is nothing more than to make Xu Gongzi and Her Royal Highness the princess more decent when they get married.
The fourteenth day of the lunar month is the day when the palace sends the princess's dowry to the emperor's mansion, also known as "sending makeup".
On this day, the mighty makeup delivery procession stretched for several miles, and the dowry was all-encompassing, ranging from all kinds of furniture and furnishings, to the princess's jewelry and clothing, and then there were all kinds of splendid silk, real estate granges, gold, silver, pearls and jade, etc., which filled up an originally empty emperor's mansion.
It took most of the day just to receive and place these dowries, from morning to dusk, all the people in the mansion, whether it was the people of the Sword Sect or Han Xuan, they were all busy, but Xu Beiyou sat in the main hall, a little stunned, that is, happy, and dazed.
At the beginning of the twentieth year of Chengping, he left the northwest, and at the end of the twenty-second year of Chengping, he came to the imperial capital.
Dressed in cloth, he entered the house and became today's emperor's son-in-law.
From the shabby and humble room of Xiaofang Village, to the Ronghuafang and Taoist Workshop in Jiangdu, and then to the secondary auxiliary mansion and the only emperor's mansion in today's imperial capital, where is home?
There is a saying that "my heart is my hometown", at this time, ask yourself, have you ever been at peace?
Looking back on the experience of the past two years, what I see in front of me today seems to be a big dream, and it is not real at all.
Genuine first * hair n"
On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, it is auspicious and suitable for marriage.
Today is the day when Xu Beiyou and Xiao Zhinan get married.
Emperor's Mansion.
At this time, Xu Beiyou was sitting on a pear wooden bench, wearing a red wedding robe, and let several women dress up. The slightly dazzling white hair in the past is lined with this bright red wedding dress, which is also a little pleasing to the eye.
The maid standing behind Xu Beiyou held his white hair, which had been completely scattered, carefully combed it with a jade comb, and after combing it, it was tied back into a bun, and then put a black crown on him.
The maid looked at Xu Beiyou's appearance in the mirror and couldn't help but say, "The son is really handsome today." ”
Xu Beiyou was in a very good mood and quipped: "You girl just can't speak, is it that I was ugly in the past?"
The maid covered her mouth and smiled: "Does the son want to listen to the truth or a lie?" If you want to listen to a lie, then the slave has no choice but to say that the son is also a jade tree on weekdays. ”
Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "You mean that my son is very ugly on weekdays? ”
"How will the son punish the slave and the maid?"
"Let the princess discipline you for me, see if you dare to be big or small. ”
The door wasn't closed, but when Feng Lang came to the threshold, he still reached out and tapped lightly on the door that was always open.
Xu Beiyou waved his hand.
The many maids who were busy around him bowed and stepped back.
Xu Beiyou said to the door: "Come in." ”
Feng Lang stepped over the threshold and stood respectfully.
Xu Beiyou asked, "How are you preparing?"
Feng Lang smiled: "Everything has been arranged. ”
Xu Beiyou got up, dressed in a big red auspicious suit.
It fits perfectly.
......
Princess's House.
Although it is not here to worship the church, it is also full of lights, and the whole house is full of maids in pale red dresses busy back and forth.
Xiao Zhinan, dressed in a big red dress, sat quietly in front of the dressing table, and two maids stood behind her, carefully combing her hair in a bun.
Xiao Zhinan is the national color and natural fragrance, although he was born in the north, but his body is more thin like a Jiangnan woman, and his skin is even fairer.
A servant said softly: "Your Highness, you are so beautiful, if the emperor's son-in-law sees it, he can't take his eyes off, even us slaves and maids feel excited." ”
"Just you can talk. Xiao Zhinan chuckled and said, "It's still beautiful." ”
The maid held a phoenix crown and said: "The phoenix crown and the xia veil are all worn, and your Royal Highness is not a fairy in the sky." ”
Xiao Zhinan didn't speak, and a gentle smile appeared on his plain white face.
This time, the phoenix crown Xia veil, including Xiao Yu's auspicious clothes, are handled by the palace, first put aside Xiao Yu's auspicious clothes, just say that Xiao Zhinan's phoenix crown Xia curtain, according to the princess's rank, nine dragons and four phoenixes, and the crown of pearl flowers has reached as many as a thousand branches, and the Xia Phi is embroidered with cloud patterns, phoenixes, decorated with Yingluo gems and ninety-nine numbers, such princess marriages, to say that it takes time and care, compared to Xiao Yu's auspicious clothes.
Xiao Zhinan looked at himself in the mirror and was stunned.
In a few hours, she will be carried into another mansion by a sedan chair carried by thirty-six people, and after worshipping the church, she will become someone else's wife, and she will have mixed feelings for a while.
Be a woman, a wife, a mother.
It is said that "being a woman is weak, and being a mother is strong", it can be seen that being a woman is the easiest, being a mother is the most difficult, as for whether it is difficult or easy to be a wife, but no one has mentioned it, and it is extremely difficult to think about it.
Xiao Zhinan subconsciously intertwined his fingers.
Speaking of in-laws, Xu Beiyou is actually barely a "parent" , In addition to a father-in-law Han Xuan, there is also a master and wife Zhang Xueyao in Jiangdu, Han Xuan can say that this marriage was promoted by him, so naturally there will be no dissatisfaction with Xiao Zhinan, and as a father-in-law, it is not good to blame his daughter-in-law too much, but her mother-in-law Zhang Xueyao is different, she is already at odds with Lin Yinping, and even has a grudge, and Xiao Zhinan, who is very Xiao Yinping, naturally can't talk about liking the word, if the two return to Jiangdu one day, it is inevitable that she will not be provoked.
Xiao Zhinan, who usually holds Zhizhu in his hand, is a little worried when he thinks of this.
This mother-in-law is not an easy character to deal with.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind her.
The maids who had been serving on both sides retreated.
Then, Xiao Zhinan saw a face that was five points similar to himself in the mirror.
Xiao Bai stretched out his hands and gently pressed them on her shoulders, and sighed: "In a blink of an eye, the little girl who rode on my neck is also going to get married." ”
Xiao Zhinan asked, "Father and Emperor ordered you to be the official of sending off relatives this time?"
Xiao Bai glared and said, "I'm your own brother, who else can I be if it's not me?"
Xiao Zhinan nodded with a smile and hummed softly.
......
Zhiyun was holding a Taoist book, but he was a little restless, and he didn't read half a word after reading it for a long time.
She sighed softly, put down the Taoist book in her hand, got up and pushed the door out.
Today is a rare good weather, the wind is beautiful.
Outside the door is a quiet courtyard, at this time everything is withering, a gray scene, only there are a few bunches of plum blossoms in the corner, Zheng Ling Han stands proudly, adding a touch of color to the whole courtyard.
Zhiyun looked at the plum blossoms stupidly, and seemed to have a thousand words in his heart, but he was all choked in his throat, and he didn't know how to say it, and he didn't know who to say it.
Suddenly, a wind came, rolled up a little residual snow, and fell on the plum blossoms.
Flowers add white.
Zhiyun stared at the plum blossoms, the fog in front of him gradually appeared, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
There are unwillingness, disappointments, sadness, and regrets.
All kinds of feelings, all in my heart, finally turned into a sad smile.
