MTL - Little Cardamom-Chapter 32
In the Daxian Dynasty, the princes and princes were greeted by the unmarried clans. For the Dingbei Palace, it had already been arranged that the Prince of Ruijun, who had just passed the crown ceremony in the clan, would welcome the bride on his behalf.
But who would have thought that, when Ming Tan was pulled up to dress up early in the morning, and the three aunts and six wives in the Zhaoshui courtyard were chatting around her, a woman outside came into the room with a happy face and reported: "It's terrible! My uncle is here!" Welcome to the front of the house!"
Ming Tan didn't sleep well, and he was dug out from the brocade quilt before dawn, and he was always a little drowsy. Hearing this, she seemed to smell the familiar sandalwood fragrance, and she suddenly became sober.
It was...really.
He really came last night.
Jiang Xu came and went very suddenly last night. After explaining, he disappeared into the night in a flash of divine effort. So much so that Ming Tan lay by the window in a trance wondering whether he was trapped in his heart just now, and he had hallucinations of self-comfort.
How could His Royal Highness Dingbei sneak into the girl's courtyard late at night? And, when did he say so many words?
In the middle of the night, she couldn't help it, and ran outside with her clothes on to check carefully, trying to find some evidence that her future husband came at night.
Of course, she didn't find anything, otherwise she wouldn't have known she was going to get married the next day, and would have been disturbed by doubts so much that she didn't sleep well all night.
Now, because of the voice of the woman outside, the inner room of Zhaoshui courtyard became more and more lively:
"Since I was a child, I have always said that the fourth girl in our family is a lucky one. No, my uncle came to welcome us in person!"
"Except for the prince of Xianjun's personal welcome and the marriage of the clan in the past few years, I have never seen such a decent family."
"The relationship between Prince Xian and Princess Princess is different after all. As childhood sweethearts who urinate together, no one in the capital knows that Prince Xian has a deep love for Princess Princess."
"So, the four girls in our family are blessed. As for the betrothal gift, yo ho, isn't the Dingbei Palace the Dingbei Palace? After all, it is different from ordinary dignitaries!"
…
Ming Tan listened, and the joy and sweetness in his heart also quietly spread, her husband really came to marry her in person.
She had been worried that Mrs. Quanfu would hurt her face when she opened her face, as if she was ruining her appearance, but now the thin thread was twisted across the face, the pain was painful, and it was not as unbearable as she imagined.
The dress of the princess is extremely graceful and complicated. The red and gold-painted double phoenix mandarin ducks, peonies wrapped around branches, and double lotuses with double stalks are layered on top of each other. The embroidered shoes are exquisite and meticulous. Dazzling, so gorgeous that people can't take their eyes off.
After dressing up, Ming Tan struggled to get up, he had to be supported by someone before he could move around carefully.
The girl had to bid farewell to Gaotang and cry for marriage before going out, but the two Gaotangs in the Jinganhou Mansion were overjoyed, Pei Shi somehow made some pepper water to smoke his eyes, and Ming Tingyuan smiled all over his face, it was half a drop Tears can't be squeezed out. Ming Tan couldn't cry either, she had tossed about the makeup on her face all morning, if she really cried twice, after crying off the makeup, it took a lot of effort to make up her face.
Therefore, in the main hall, only Ming Tan and Pei's reluctantly whispered a few times, and Ming Tingyuan explained some things, and finally said impatiently: "In short, Dingbei Prince's Mansion and Jing'an Hou's Mansion It’s not too far away, just go back if you want.”
Jing'an Hou Mansion was lively inside, and it was even more lively outside.
As for the welcoming team at the main gate of Jing'an Hou's Mansion, it was three points more spectacular than the day when Chunwei unveiled the list and went on a horse parade.
The second son of Shu who was famous in Beijing, the uncle of the country, the prince of the Duke of Pingguo, and the deputy commander in front of the palace, Lu Ting and Lu Dianshuai. A group of generals.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing among them is His Royal Highness King Dingbei, who is dressed in a bright red auspicious suit and sits high on a horse, displaying the **** of war.
The name of the God of War is so powerful that it can be said that there are very few people who have seen his true face. When they saw it today, everyone felt astonished.
Sword eyebrows and star eyes, black hair and red clothes.
Reining in the reins, he was careless and somewhat disdainful.
If the second son of Shu is said to be "a man from Moshang is like a jade, the son is unparalleled in the world", then His Royal Highness King Dingbei is probably "Lang Yan is unique, unparalleled in the world".
Because His Royal Highness King Dingbei was famous, he got off his horse and entered the mansion. Everyone subconsciously backed away, and some even couldn't help but want to kneel down.
In the beginning, everyone was stunned, so naturally no one dared to make a fuss about asking for money, or Bai Minmin, who was so courageous and not afraid of death, rushed over from Mingtan's boudoir, and yelled for His Highness to make a reminder, asking for money is money, she The sister-in-law didn't even pull her back, she was so frightened that half of her soul died.
But His Royal Highness Dingbei Wang was unexpectedly easy to talk, as if he had been prepared, he nodded on the spot, and made the first reminder as he said, and someone in the welcoming team gave Bai Minmin golden peanuts as a gift.
With Bai Minmin starting, the juniors in the Jing'an Hou Mansion were also eager to try, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. The older ones didn't dare to make trouble with His Royal Highness Ding Beiwang, so they caught Shu Erzhang Huaiyu to make a fuss.
When Ming Tan showed up with Shanshan supported by Ming Tingyuan, Jiang Xu had already reached the fourth reminder.
Everyone thought that these makeup reminder poems had been prepared long ago. Since he could invite Shu Er, who is good at poetry, it would be no problem to ask someone to help prepare two poems. word tags.
As soon as I said this, someone next to me thought it was bad food! Just about to change the subject, unexpectedly His Royal Highness Dingbei nodded happily. After thinking for a while, he composed another song according to his rhythm, and it was very good.
Everyone was amazed, this military general under King Dingbei has such a literary talent? Was it really him who made this reminder poem?
Wentao and martial arts, so handsome, high position and weight, to win this gentleman, this fourth lady of the Jing'an Houfu is really blessed! When they watched Ming Tan get into the sedan chair, everyone was thinking about it.
With a shrill "lifting the sedan chair" resounding through Nanque Street, the welcoming team of Dingbei Palace set off again.
Along the way, the ground is paved with colorful red, drums and music blare, and salutes are thunderous. The relatives and friends of the bridegroom in front of the bride are marching steadily forward to meet the bride's eight-carrying sedan chair. The one hundred and sixty-eight dowries from Jing'anhou's Mansion followed, and they walked from Nanque Street around Yujie Street all the way to Changyu Street where Dingbei Prince's Mansion is located.
Later people said that during the Chengkang period, there was no more wedding ceremony than this pomp.
Compared with Jing'an Hou's Mansion, which is extremely lively, Dingbei Prince's Mansion is inexplicably deserted even though it is also decorated with red and colorful decorations. Firstly, Dingbei Prince's Mansion is much more regulated than Jing'anhou's Mansion, and secondly, Jiang Xu's relatives are not many, and there are almost no direct lineages.
Ming Tan married in as a super-grade prince and concubine, so he had to perform a ceremony first. After the book ceremony, it was time to go to the Xitang to hold the big wedding ceremony. Fortunately, there were no parents-in-law, so it was easy.
Ming Tan was pressed under the phoenix crown, and came all the way, her head and back were numb and painful. After the three worships, her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up. It was her husband who gave her a hand to keep her from falling. Faint in front of the crowd.
After the three worships, it is sent to the bridal chamber.
The newlyweds held the scarf, Ming Tan could only see the toes, most of which were covered by the complicated dress, she held the end of the red silk in a regular manner, and Jiang Xu slowly led her into the new house carefully.
The new houses of ordinary people are disturbed by people, but Dingbei Palace has no relatives, and no one dares to make disturbances, so it is very clean, only Quanfu's mother said auspicious words in it.
Jiang Xu took over the heavy wedding scale, gently lifted the hijab—
Plop, plop... Ming Tan's little heart was beating really hard, just as she was hesitating whether to raise her eyes to meet her husband's gaze, she heard her husband order softly: "Call Wangfei's maid."
Ming Tan raised his head in doubt.
Jiang Xu also happened to be looking at her quietly: "The phoenix crown is too heavy, you might as well take it off. Let them serve you, I'm going out to socialize first."
He actually knew that the phoenix crown was heavy.
Ming Tan looked at him, subconsciously a little happy.
After Jiang Xu left, Su Xin and Lu E came in, Ming Tan hurriedly called for their help, took off the heavy phoenix crown for her, pinched her stiff neck, washed and washed again, and put on another set of scarlet pajamas .
Ming Tan has been busy here, and finally he can take a break, but Jiang Xu's entertainment outside has just begun.
A group of generals, friends and subordinates usually dare not exceed the rules, but today they finally seized the opportunity to pour him wine openly.
The newlyweds were overjoyed, and Jiang Xu had no reason not to drink, he would not refuse anyone who came, and drank it all in one gulp.
The feast lasted until nightfall. Many military generals who got married taught their Royal Highness King Dingbei how to get along with each other through their drunkenness.
Although Shu Jingran and Zhang Huaiyu were not married, but they drank some wine, the reasoning was the same, and they were much more verbose than usual:
Shu Jingran: "Now that you are married, you must not be too indifferent to your wife on this wedding night. If you think about it carefully, your husband and wife sleep together, and the girl is shy. You can't just say nothing like usual! "
"That's right, you won't die if you say a few more words!" Zhang Huaiyu echoed.
"Hey, bad luck! Why do you say that word on a happy day. Qizhi, you listen to me, you must be right." Shu Jingran hiccupped his lips, his voice was obviously drunk, "you just look Talk about topics that Madam likes, but don’t mention the use of soldiers in war, for example, you can talk about... Poems and songs, it’s not like you don’t understand."
"Yes, you have to take the initiative to say something. It's not easy to get straight to the topic when you start, you have to have some foreshadowing, you understand the foreshadowing?" When it comes to "straight to the topic", Zhang Huaiyu looked at him teasingly, with a hint of ridicule.
Jiang Xu glanced at the two of them without emotion, not knowing whether he listened or not, turned his head to touch Lu Ting, and had another drink.
At the end of the day, the night was quiet.
Ming Tan, who entered the bridal chamber early, finally waited for his husband who smelled of alcohol. She was very sober at the moment, because she had already taken a rest and had some pastries, she was already full of energy, and she was so bored that she wanted to look through the fire escape album that Pei Shilin gave her before leaving the house.
Fortunately, it didn't turn over.
Seeing Jiang Xu come in, she sat up on the edge of the bed.
Although Jiang Xu reeked of alcohol, he was obviously still conscious. He walked to the table and stood still, looked at Ming Tan with his hands behind his back, and called out in a low voice, "Come here."
"...?"
Ming Tan got up obediently and walked to the table.
She was half a head shorter than Jiang Xu, and after letting go of her complicated bun, the top of her head could reach Jiang Xu's jaw.
The two stood close to each other, the strong smell of wine mixed with the faint scent of sandalwood, which made Ming Tan blush and heartbeat, and he was a little at a loss.
She took the Hebei wine that Jiang Xu had poured out, and trembled unconsciously. After handing over the glasses, she stood on tiptoe because of her stature, and the wine glass was so far away from her that it was out of reach!
But Jiang Xu looked down at her, leaned over suddenly, accommodated her figure, and drank the glass of wine with his head down.
