Woniu Village·Pei Mansion
The village wall has been repaired, and today is a happy day. The village gate at the entrance of the village has also been replaced with a vermilion gate, with big red characters for happiness on both sides of the gate. The village wall is tied with red gauze, embellished with joy.
At the gate of Pei Mansion, soldiers lined up, standing at the door with their swords pressed, with a solemn look. No one around dared to approach at will, and there were rules for entering and exiting.
It was her son's wedding. Pei Qian put on the clothes of a child. Although she was only a seventh-grade married woman, the crown was made of gold and silver, with two pearls, laurel, emerald clouds, emerald laurel leaves, emerald mouth rings, He looked dazzled by the gold and silver jewels and flowers and beads in his mouth.
Several women were wearing silver buns. It was July and they were wearing satin sheaths. They were supervising the servants, maids and helping wives who were busy. Then they looked at it and said, "You are so lucky. Your son has won the imperial examination. He has also made meritorious service to the imperial court, and it is so beautiful to receive this letter. Look at the pomp and grandeur."
They are all complimenting Mr. Pei Qian.
"Who says it's not the case? We have seen Su'er since childhood. She is a virtuous and virtuous person. She is so lucky." A woman said this, and everyone agreed: "Even the prefect and the county magistrate are here."
"More than that, look at that hut. I heard that all the emperor's sons will come."
Pei Qian listened to the discussion, with a smile on her lips, and whispered softly: "Mr. Lang, I will raise Pei'er up, and she will have glory, wealth, and a glorious ancestor."
"Some people say that I will continue to rise to the top, but I think I am satisfied with this."
"He is married now. I have seen my daughter-in-law since I was a child, and I am very satisfied with her. I just hope that the future will be peaceful and the children and grandchildren will multiply, so that I can have a face to see you."
When Pei Qian said this, he became jealous for a moment and wiped it away quickly.
river course
When the water rose in early summer, the war subsided, the customs opened, and the merchant ships quickly recovered. However, at this time, there was a large boat with three floors parked, and it was also busy on top.
The lady of the Suyue Sect came forward and stroked Ye Su'er's long hair, saying, "We're almost here, I'll put on the Phoenix Crown and Xia Phi for you."
After wiping her tears, Ye Su'er sat down. In front of the bronze mirror, the girl rolled up her black hair and combed her hair with a comb. Xia was draped on her side. She was wearing a bright red dress. The girl took the phoenix crown held by her side and put it on Ye Su'er.
The phoenix crown is made of pure gold, with a golden phoenix standing on it, with red, yellow, orange and green embellishments on both sides. Several pearls are dotted on the side of the phoenix in front, making it look gorgeous.
The rosy veil and the phoenix crown echo each other, and they are both beautiful and beautiful. Looking into the mirror, I can see long hair like satin and a little red lips.
"Perfect, in fact, this is the dress of a married woman."
"Common people of Li, even if they don't have official status, on the wedding day, men can wear black gauze official clothes, and women can wear phoenix crowns and Xiapei. But if you get married, you may soon have the clothes of a real married woman."
"Your mother-in-law has the clothes of a seventh-grade child, and you will always have them."
After hearing this, Ye Suer suddenly said: "Aunt, please take out the phoenix hairpin from the box and put it in. The phoenix crown is only for today. This is my normal courtesy."
There were a lot of valuable jewelry in the box, but the designated phoenix hairpin was very inconspicuous. The girl said, "This phoenix hairpin is quite exquisite, but it's old!"
Ye Su'er stretched out her hand, took the hairpin, and said with a low eyebrow: "My father-in-law bought this for my mother-in-law. Later, my father-in-law passed away and my mother-in-law fled. The world was in chaos. When the family was in trouble, she didn't pawn it. She said she had to leave it to her daughter-in-law." This piece of jewelry, when I left last time, my mother-in-law specially gave it to me, saying that this is her lifelong love and sustenance. By wearing this, I am the daughter-in-law of the Pei family and his wife!"
"This is a commemorative hairpin. Your mother-in-law is interested in it." The girl said, taking the phoenix hairpin and inserting it at an angle.
At this time, there was the sound of crackling firecrackers outside the boat. The girl put a red hijab on her head and helped her out. When she came out, even the girl was shocked. She saw many soldiers and a large number of officials present, including the county magistrate.
Below, Pei Ziyun is dressed in a red groom's robe, riding on a white horse, handsome and unrestrained, followed by a group of soldiers behind him, looking very festive.
Seeing Ye Su'er coming out of the boat, Pei Ziyun jumped off and approached: "Su'er, I'm here."
The girl led Ye Su'er into the sedan chair, listening to the loud music, the team turned around and headed towards Pei Mansion. In fact, it was not very far away. In a reed shed, fish, chickens, boiled meat, and croquettes were being slaughtered, filled with the smell of meat. fragrant.
Ding Heng, the prefect, saw more and more officials, gentry, relatives, and neighbors coming and going. He quickly called people and said, "How are your arrangements?"
"Both the prince and Uncle Zhongqin are here. I don't worry about the assassins as we have armored soldiers, but as long as there is a slight disturbance, it will ruin the scene for everyone."
Ding Heng, a famous arrester in the county, bowed at this moment and said: "We have discussed this matter. Every villager has been interrogated. No one who comes without registration is allowed to approach."
"You are still wearing casual clothes and mixing in the crowd. Don't look at the lively scene, but you are actually staring at it."
A smile appeared on Ding Heng's face, he nodded and said: "You did a good job. Once the banquet is over and there is no big event, I will give you credit."
Before the words were spoken, the sound of music started to sound in the distance.
"The real person is here to welcome the bride." There was a continuous sound of crackling firecrackers. When they arrived in front of the door, the girl looked at Pei Ziyun and said, "Master Pei, I will leave Su'er to you."
After saying that, he handed over Ye Su'er's hand. Pei Ziyun took Ye Su'er's hand. Ye Su'er's hand was green, white and tender. Ding Heng couldn't help but smile when he looked at it. This was inconsistent with regular etiquette.
Then he stepped on the brazier, stepped on the saddle, and walked up to the hall. The master of ceremonies invited Mr. Pei Qian to take his seat.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Bless me!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!" Pei Ziyun and Ye Su'er bowed to each other. Just as they bowed, Ye Su'er burst into tears. At this point, the ceremony was completed and they were now husband and wife.
Beijing
Suddenly someone galloped on horseback and shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way."
This man was riding fast, and pedestrians on the road immediately got out of the way when they saw him. An outsider saw this and asked in a low voice: "Is this rampage? The court doesn't care?"
Someone responded: "This is an emergency military situation. If you don't give way, you will be hit and killed in vain!"
eldest princess mansion
Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and many flowers and plants are luxuriant and full of vitality. The little princess comes out. These days, she seems to be in good health and mood. She is very comfortable smelling the fragrance of the grass and trees. The faint sunset is disappearing into the sky. Now the sky is getting darker and the birds have returned. Lin, it's summer now, so you have to wear summer clothes. The skirt and gauze sleeves are very thin.
The little princess smiled and said to the maid, holding up a book in her hand: "Jiu Fu Kong has published a new book. It's about the fox fairy. I have to show it to my mother and make it into a play."
"In this case, there will be another drama, and my mother will be very happy."
As he said that, he turned around the corridor, passed through a rockery pond, and arrived at a place. From a distance, he saw a Taoist official hurried in and someone was talking.
The little princess subconsciously stopped, silently facing the maid, and she leaned closer.
At this time, a high-ranking female official was accompanying the eldest princess. The Taoist official hurriedly stepped forward and reported: "Elder princess, Mrs. Wen, who you sent to find Pei Ziyun, has already replied and said that Pei Ziyun has refused and quickly got married. She also went to witness the wedding, and there were also Prince Chengshun, Uncle Zhongqin, and the prefecture magistrate watching the ceremony. The matter is irreversible."
"Oh? Bring up the fold."
The eldest princess said immediately, and her mother-in-law stepped forward and took the folder and handed it over. The eldest princess opened the folder and looked at it. There was no emotion or anger on her face, she just sighed.
On the other hand, the female official on the side heard this and became angry and said: "Damn it, this Pei Ziyun is just a Taoist, so he doesn't know how to praise him."
Because the official is getting married, and there are so many important people watching the ceremony, there is no room for maneuver on this matter.
The eldest princess didn't speak for a while, but continued reading. She couldn't help but paused when she read the sentence "Friends between the poor and the humble should not be forgotten, and the wife of the poor will not go to the court."
After a long time, he sighed again: "Although I am very angry, I also feel respected after hearing these words, but Pei Ziyun's heart is too tolerant."
"I know my princess's heart, and you also know it. Doesn't Pei Ziyun know it?"
"But it's no wonder that the emperor did this. I was also confused and had some hope, but I didn't expect that Pei Ziyun refused so neatly and without any mercy."
"Alas" he said, sighing deeply. Listening to the eldest princess's words, the female officer lowered her head to the side, while the maid and the old nanny did not dare to speak.
"Your Highness, Princess, these are all Pei Ziyun's fault. How can you blame yourself? You can only say that he doesn't know how to cherish blessings." After a long time, the female officer said.
The eldest princess stood up, but her eyebrows were furrowed. The maid and the nanny quickly followed, walked to the window, and gently pushed the window open. In the distance, you could see swallows flying in the sky, and white clouds changing shape with the wind. .
"Actually, I'm not surprised by this result. I know Pei Ziyun is a hero. How can I be so angry? I just pity my Qianye. With her status, it is impossible for her to marry Pei Ziyun again."
The female officer originally wanted to talk about Pei Ziyun's fault, but then she listened to the eldest princess and persuaded her in a low voice: "Eldest princess, the princess is still young and her feelings are undecided. Maybe she will forget about it after a while."
"Moreover, eldest princess, the imperial court has sent an imperial envoy."
The little princess standing in the corridor had opened the gate of heaven, and her six senses were far sharper than ordinary people. At this time, she could hear every word clearly, and her face was as white as snow.
The eldest princess stretched out her hand to rub her temples, and finally showed a little resentment: "The imperial envoy has set off, and I'm afraid he's already halfway there. Pei Ziyun, how are you going to deal with it?"
"It's okay if you refuse, and you marry her immediately. Do you think your Qianye is so disdainful?" After the eldest princess finished speaking, she felt haggard for a moment, her face slightly gloomy.
The little princess listened and quietly retreated. After taking a few steps away, she felt a burst of pain. It turned out that her lip was bitten and salty blood flowed into her mouth. She felt as if she was light and airy, almost stepping on the clouds. .
"Can't pass out, can't pass out."
"Because of this, my mother no longer likes Brother Pei. If I faint again, my mother will have to vent her anger." With these thoughts in mind, the little princess turned pale, staggered back to her room, and said to the maid: " I'm a little tired and want to take a nap, please don't disturb me."
Just after saying this, his vision went dark and he fell on the bed.
