The welcoming team started from Sheng Mansion and took a slight detour to the Mi Zhen County Prince's Mansion according to the pre-arranged route.
The main reason for doing this is because Sheng Weiqiao's dowry is too rich. If you look carefully, Shili Hongzhuang will not be able to hold it down. Even if the furniture and other items were delivered to the Mi Zhen County Prince's Mansion in advance, they left with the wedding car today. There are still many large items for the dowry. If you take the shortest route, it will be difficult to pass because of the narrow place in the middle.
The wedding car stopped once during the trip because it was blocked by someone.
Sheng Weide, who was getting married, ordered people to bring wine and food, but still lingered around, saying that he wanted to ask for trouble. However, Sheng Weide was mediocre in talent and learning, so he had to order people to rush back to Sheng Mansion to explain to Sheng Lanci.
Sheng Lanci was a real Jinshi, and had been at peace with Luo County of Nanfeng County for many years. Naturally, she would not be upset about such a thing. She immediately confessed to the guests and ordered people to present the Four Treasures of the Study in front of the audience. He wrote a flower-studded car-wreck message and asked people to send it to Sheng Weide quickly, and then the people who car-wrapped him dispersed.
Because of the gorgeous and smooth rhetoric of this article, Chang'an's impression of Sheng Weiqiao was that he had a generous dowry, but now he suddenly remembered and realized that the county head was not the daughter of a nouveau riche. Sheng Lan Ci was promoted to official position in the Imperial Academy.
The wedding car encountered no further obstruction, and at the appointed time, it stopped steadily in front of the gate of Mi Zhen County Prince's Mansion.
Before Sheng Weiqiao heard the instructions to get out of the car, she first heard the overwhelming sound of firecrackers outside, and then the sound of bells and drums.
Amid the solemn sounds of ritual music, Sheng Weiqiao was helped out of the carriage by two maidservants. When he landed, he felt soft under his feet. He quickly looked down and saw that it was a piece of brocade felt.
Then a silk scarf was stuffed into her hand. She knew it was probably a handkerchief, so she hurriedly grabbed it.
In this way, the maids on the left and right supported the sleeping crane, and the sleeping crane was guided by a shawl, and passed all the way into the main hall. When he reached the main hall, he stood still. First, he heard a neat cheer from the front, back, left, and right, the sound was like thunder, and he was startled, almost Throw away all the towels.
Fortunately, the master of ceremonies came out at this time to appease everyone. He teased the bride and groom a few words as usual, and guessing that the auspicious time had come, he announced that the worship service would begin.
The two then followed the MC's singing, bowing first to heaven and earth, second to the high hall, and husband and wife to each other... There is nothing to say here. The surroundings may be extremely lively, but Sheng Weiqiao's sight is now blocked by brocade burdens, and he can't see anything.
After worshiping in the hall, the two of them were surrounded by laughter and headed towards the bridal chamber.
When they arrived at the bridal chamber, they were first led to sit in the tent, and then the people who came in to make fun of the newlyweds teased the newlyweds. Seeing that Sheng Weiqiao was still holding a fan in his hand, he asked Suihe to stop fanning.
Xu Baomo, who came in with his feet folded, hugged Rong Suihe: "This fan was a custom in the previous dynasty, but this dynasty doesn't use it because of the brocade burden. It's only March now, and there's no need for a fan yet. Sheng Sheng I definitely found a fan to give to Da Qiao on purpose!"
"Even if it is intentional, if the fan is not removed now, it will be difficult to remove the brocade burden, and we will not be able to see the appearance of the bride, and then we will not be able to perform the marriage ceremony, so the prince can do whatever he wants!" But others were happy to watch. Hearing this, he was very happy and said, "The prince is very talented. He came north as the Jieyuan of Nanfeng County back then. How can he care about a fan poem now?"
Rong Suihe really didn't care. After hearing the words, he thought for a moment and chanted: "The sound of the phoenix flute turns to the Xiangluan,
Don't teach that the fairy's appearance is separated by the clouds.
This night the east wind flowers are just right;
Should give a fan to teach reunion. [Note]"
At this time, most of the people in the new house are relatives of Rong Suihe. People like the Qi family know that he has a bad temper, especially the deep estrangement between him and the Gaomi Palace. Naturally, they don't dare to be like the people in the Sheng Palace. They teased him hard, so they teased him a bit, but didn't ask him to play a few more songs. After laughing for a while, they persuaded Sheng Weiqiao to put down the round fan.
Mrs. Qi personally came holding the weighing beam, smiled at Rong Suihe and said, "Third brother, please tell us how the bride looks like!"
When she said this, she looked very straight: Although she secretly had some opinions about this brother-in-law, Mrs. Qi really couldn't deny that this brother-in-law was really good-looking!
Rong Suihe was originally fair and fair, and he was getting married today. Although men were not as meticulous in applying makeup and powder as women, but he probably rarely wore bright colors... Previously, in order to suppress Li Shengxu, he consulted the Zhao sisters for advice. He wore bright clothes for a few days, but soon because of Sheng Weiqiao's jealousy, he changed back to wearing a black shirt and fast boots all day long.
Now she is wearing a dress with green undershirt and red skirt, which makes people’s eyes light up!
Standing under the tent at this moment, because of his height, the curtain that had been pulled up by the golden hook still fell softly on his shoulders. He looked at the jade trees in the courtyard and the orchids in front of the steps. It was indescribably romantic and suave. Shaorun.
Mrs. Qi was nearly ten years older than him and had six children. She was not the kind of woman who would change her mind when she saw something strange. Looking at her now, she felt a little confused, not to mention the other boys and girls present.
While he was making fun of the bride, his eyes were subconsciously glued to Rong Suihe, and he felt a little bit of envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Sheng Weiqiao in his heart.
But Rong Suihe didn't care about what these people were thinking at the moment. He took a breath secretly after hearing the words, calmed down, then took the weighing beam and stepped forward to pick up the brocade bag: he saw the beautiful face under the brocade bag. His face seemed to be shy, his long eyelashes were slightly drooped, and he was looking at the ground not far away.
After the sound of admiration came from all around, and Mrs. Qi and Princess Qingfang took the lead to marvel at her beauty, Sheng Weiqiao tilted her head slightly and looked up.
The bedding that the Sheng family gave to Sheng Weiqiao as a dowry was placed in the bridal chamber. It was a red sandalwood bed with carvings of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandsons inlaid with mica pearls. At this moment, a true red and golden mandarin duck play tent was hung, and gold hooks and colorful tassels tied the front. On the inside of the tent, two red sandalwood and glazed octagonal palace lanterns were hung for lighting tonight.
At this moment, the light was softly illuminated by the filtered glass, making the bride even more charming. The peony behind her eyes, which was specially drawn by the makeup aunt, was so gorgeous that it was ready to bloom.
Rong Suihe's breath tightened as he watched, and he squeezed his fists hard to calm down his emotions, and said with a smile: "The princess is so embarrassed!"
Originally, Mrs. Qi and others were praising Sheng Weiqiao's beauty and also making some jokes. They all laughed when they heard this: "We have never seen a groom who is so good at talking sweet words. It can be seen that these young couples are really good at each other. They are really sweet and sweet!" "
When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, she lowered her head again in shame. As a result, others only saw her black hair like clouds under her jeweled emerald crown hairpin. However, Rong Suihe, who was standing next to her, caught a glimpse of a section of her neck under her black hair, which was as white as snow. It's pink and tender, and now it's spreading a hint of crimson.
He smiled secretly in his heart, and deliberately touched Sheng Weiqiao's leg under the cover of the wide skirt of his wedding dress.
Sure enough, Sheng Weiqiao was startled, subconsciously raised his head, and glanced at him angrily.
"They are all flirting in front of us!" Princess Qingfang noticed and covered her mouth with a smile, "Just don't be impatient, there are still some etiquette to go through!"
While they were talking, the two Quanfu people who had been invited earlier had already brought things in to tie the couple's hair.
After completing this series of steps, everyone booed for a while, and someone came outside to urge Suihe to go to the banquet to socialize. He hurriedly asked Mrs. Qi and left.
The male companions, such as Xu Baomo and others who had just accompanied the groom to greet him, were also following him to help ward off the wine.
All of a sudden, only the female relatives were left in the new house. When Mrs. Qi saw this, she persuaded the others to leave as well: "The banquet has been served. Let's go and have something to eat. We have been making trouble for so long, so let the bride rest."
After everyone left chatting and laughing, Princess Qingfang personally poured a cup of tea for Sheng Weiqiao and said with a smile: "Everyone has left. The only ones left now are my family members. Do you want me to remove a few hairpin rings?" I was probably very tired after most of the day. I remember when I came out of the cabinet, I couldn’t even lift the chopsticks.”
Then he asked Mrs. Qi, "Sister-in-law, what will happen to you?"
"Me? I didn't feel tired at that time." Ms. Qi said with a smile, "I was so nervous at that time, how could I be tired? I was just afraid that something would go wrong here and there, and I would make a joke... It was enough. After returning home three times, I slowly recovered!"
Suddenly there was another burst of laughter in the new house, and the aunt and sister-in-law asked Sheng Weiqiao in unison: "Are you tired now, or are you nervous?"
Sheng Weiqiao took a quick look around and found that there was no one else in the room at this moment. Apart from Mrs. Qi and Princess Qingfang, there were two little girls who seemed to be their daughters. The other maids, judging by their appearance and appearance, were also confidants.
She was not a timid person. When she heard the words, she said truthfully: "I just feel tired... The flower hairpin and the green crown are really tight. I didn't dare to lower my head the whole way!"
"This is all made of solid red gold, and it is inlaid with so many pearls, emeralds, agates and precious stones. How can it not be heavy?" After hearing this, Mrs. Qi walked to the dressing table, opened the dressing stool for her, and motioned for her to come over and sit down. , said, "Just like the third brother's thoughts, it's so heavy!"
According to the rules, this set of jewelry is the responsibility of the man. Rong Suihe personally found someone to make it. Naturally, it is full of sincerity and full of weight.
"It's such a heavy thought, I'd better take it out and put it away quickly." Sheng Weiqiao sat over and saw Qi personally helping her to disassemble the hairpin ring, and said with a smile, "Thank you...sister-in-law."
After all, we had just walked through the door, so the "Sister-in-law" shout was a bit unnatural and the voice was not high.
However, Mr. Qi was already satisfied. For someone like her who thought she was easy to get along with, she found a brother-in-law who had been living abroad since childhood and had an unruly temper. The person he liked was a man who was famous for his pampering and generous dowry. The apple of her eye, Mrs. Qi only asked these two people not to cause trouble, and there was really nothing else to choose from.
Seeing that Sheng Weiqiao didn't look arrogant at this moment, he felt relieved and said with a smile: "Thank you for what? They are all from my family."
Next to her, Princess Qingfang said: "You sisters-in-law are really good friends, but you have left me, my sister-in-law, aside."
He pointed at his nose and asked Sheng Weiqiao to call him too, "Sister-in-law is taking off your makeup. You called her! If you call me now, I will get you something delicious!"
"How dare you labor sister?" Sheng Weiqiao's impression of Princess Qingfang was actually not good to Qi. The main reason was that she and Qi had never greeted each other seriously before, so naturally there was no grudge.
But before Rong Suihe regained his identity, Princess Qingfang's several entanglements made Sheng Weiqiao feel that the princess was very inconsiderate towards Rong Suihe.
But in this situation, of course she wouldn't show it. She smiled slightly when she heard this and said, "Just let the servants get it."
Princess Qingfang smiled and said: "You have to keep your word. You have already called me. How can I not do something for you?"
"This is my first time here at the Prince's Mansion, and I don't know where the kitchen is." Seeing that she really wanted to run errands in person, Qi quickly reminded her, "Did you know?"
Princess Qingfang immediately stopped and said, "Oh, I forgot it's not the palace. I really don't know, but it's okay. I'll ask someone."
"It's getting dark now. If you ask someone before you go over there, why don't you just tell the third brother and sister to ask the servants to get it directly. It will be faster." Mrs. Qi advised, "By the way, let's just take care of it." While I was talking to my three younger siblings, I forgot to ask the children to meet their elders."
She tilted her head and said to the girl who was following him step by step, "Jian'an, you haven't called your aunt yet, have you?"
She has three daughters and three sons, but at this moment she has only one child with her, her eldest daughter, Junrong Xiaxin of Jian'an County, who is fourteen years old.
Rong Xiaxin has fair skin and pretty appearance. Her profile looks very similar to Qi's. Of course, it's how Qi looked before she gained weight.
This girl has a very calm temperament and is very ladylike.
Hearing this, he moved two steps to the side and moved to a seat facing Sheng Weiqiao. Then he said seriously: "Hello, aunt!"
"Hello to you too!" Sheng Weiqiao didn't expect to be greeted by her juniors in her new house. She thought she would need to prepare a meeting gift when she was serving tea to her parents-in-law the next day. Fortunately, this was the house where she would live in the future, so she wasn't afraid. Bai accepted this gift, looked around, and gave her a Ruyi made of golden nanmu inlaid with suet jade, "Take it and play with it!"
At this time, Princess Qingfang also pushed her daughter over and said with a smile: "Look at your cousin, I just want to say hello to you. Dong Lai, why don't you hurry up and give your third aunt a gift?"
[Note] I wrote it myself, so I’ll leave it at that.
