Chapter 303: Getting Married
Outside the General's Mansion, a long red carpet extended from the street to the hall where the wedding was held in the mansion. Li Ze and Liu Ruyan each stood on one end of the red silk and walked slowly on the red carpet. Behind them, a pair of pink boys and girls each carried a flower basket wrapped in red silk, constantly throwing the grains and grains inside on the red carpet.
Zhang Hui, who acted as the emcee, shaved his beard clean today, put on a formal gift, and sang loudly with a smile: "Yufeng raised her feet and stepped on the fire of the pot, and the evil spirit hid on both sides. She happily fell from the sky to the blessed nest, and good days were prosperous!"
Li Ze and Liu Ruyan both stepped across the brazier.
A saddle was standing in front of them.
"A piece of sandalwood carved into a jade saddle. The newcomer took over and kept his safety step by step." Zhang Hui's voice sounded again, and a pair of newcomers stepped over the saddle in front of him.
"There are food and clothing, one generation is better than the other, one sprinkles gold, two sprinkles silver, and three sprinkles newcomers come into the hall."
Li Ze and Liu Ruyan stepped over the rice bag in front of them and walked into the wedding hall.
The complicated wedding procedures made Li Ze like a puppet, allowing today's emcee to fiddle with. Although Li Ze read a lot of books, he knew nothing about the wedding procedures in the Tang Dynasty, because since he woke up, he had first survived and then survived well. Now he was considering how to become stronger and change the world.
Wedding or something is not considered by him at all.
But fortunately, his status now doesn't need to be considered any more. Someone thought of everything for him. Doing it well, what he needs to do is to be the groom today.
The emcee of ceremonials is even more famous. The ability to invite such a person to host the wedding for him has immediately increased the style of Li Ze's wedding by several levels.
Because of Zhang Hui, even in Chang'an City, Qingliu, who had little favor for military leaders like Li Ze, had to come and respond to the scene, give him a gift, calligraphy, painting, or poetry, and then drink a glass of wedding wine. Of course, this is not to give Li Ze face, but to give Zhang Hui face.
Li Ze finally heard Zhang Hui's loud voice and shouted a few words he had been looking forward to for a long time. After hearing these words, Li Ze knew that the wedding was finally over.
A good marriage is given every day with an arrow.
A bow wrapped in red silk, and a feather arrow with the arrow left was handed to Li Ze's hand. Li Ze bent his bow and put the arrow on it. With a slight sound, the arrow flew into the sky.
One arrow shot to the ground, and the ground was paired with a pair.
He bent his bow and arrow again, and shot an arrow virtually and inserted it into the ground outside the hall.
Three arrows shoot the bridal chamber, and three arrows determine the world. The groom picks up the bride into the bridal chamber.
Amid the kind laughter of the guests in the hall, Li Ze led the bride and walked towards the bridal chamber under the support of the servants.
The voice of the chapter came from behind: "Everyone, please go to the table, enjoy the delicious food and delicious food."
Liu Ruyan sat upright on the joy bed, and Li Ze stood in the middle of the house. He didn't know what to do for a while. Until a servant presented a joy pole and smiled and said, "Please pick a wedding mail for your wife." Li Ze reacted.
He took the Xigang and walked to Liu Ruyan with a smile. The Xigang slowly reached under the Xipa and picked it up slightly. He saw that he was not Liu Ruyan's beautiful face, but a round fan, covering most of his face, leaving only a pair of big eyes and forehead outside.
Li Ze was stunned for a moment, but fortunately, he immediately reacted and wanted the bride to put down the round fan, but he wanted to recite a poem but fan it!
He wouldn't know how to write poems, but fortunately, he had a letter under his command, and a big man like Gongsun Changming was prepared for it.
"The wind on the city brings cold candles, and the dew is flying in the phoenix where the brocade curtains are opened. It is known that the Qin girl has become an immortal, so don't let the round light be separated from the peonies. My wife, please go and fan!" Li Ze said with a smile.
The round fan moved away instantly, and Liu Ruyan, who appeared in front of Li Ze, was startled. Liu Ruyan in front of him had the beauty she had in normal times. Her whole face was white with pink makeup, and her two blush was so conspicuous against the white background. What's even more terrifying was that there was also a red mark the size of a thumb on the two red lips. In Li Ze's eyes, Liu Ruyan was like an evil ghost in hell at this time, especially when she smiled at him, Li Ze even broke out in cold sweat.
He really couldn't appreciate Tang Shi's makeup.
"Please drink with your wife." Fortunately, the middle-aged servant came over with a tray at the right time, which at least resolved Li Ze's a little embarrassed.
After drinking the glass of wine, Li Ze tried his best not to look at Liu Ruyan's face like a ghost-like talisman in front of him, and chuckled and said, "Madam, please rest for a while, I'm going to go outside to arrange some things."
"Please give me a gift!" Liu Ruyan whispered.
A few years ago, weddings were usually held at dusk. After a whole set of procedures, the lights were already gone. The bride and groom were naturally worth a thousand gold. However, at this time, weddings were mostly held in the early morning. Although Li Ze’s wedding was complicated, it was just after noon. Of course, it was not enough to have a good night in the bridal chamber. Li Ze still had to go outside to arrange guests.
Today, the important figures in Chang'an almost gathered together, and even the minds of the three ministers of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat gathered together. If others did not accompany them, Li Ze would accompany them in their feelings and reason.
As soon as I walked out of the room, Liu Ruyan's voice came from behind me: "Xie Mom, Xie Mom, come and get water, help me wash my face. Oh my, itchy, it's so itchy, it's so uncomfortable."
"Madam, this is not appropriate, and the husband will be unhappy. Oh, Madam, don't mess up your makeup!"
"Come and wash it off!"
Liu Ruyan's voice was very firm.
Hearing this, Li Ze couldn't help but smile happily. It seemed that the new wife, at least in terms of aesthetics, still had a common language with her. Whether she was really uncomfortable or because she saw her expression just now, she insisted on taking off her makeup.
No matter what big shots come today, the groom is always the biggest at the banquet. Li Ze, who is in his prime, made these old men at the banquet feel jealous. It was because Li Ze had a happy wedding, and because Li Ze was so old that he had the qualification to be comparable to them.
If an ordinary official gets married, they will show their faces, drink a glass of wine and walk, which is already giving others a face. But today, they will have to finish the table before leaving. Otherwise, they will be rude to Li Ze.
It is precisely because of this reason that even the Secretary of the Central Secretariat Wang Shu and the Minister of the Menxia Shi Tian Lingzi, who were usually unfavorable, today they shared the same hatred for the enemy and aimed at Li Ze. They toasted circles of wine, and couldn't help but drink Li Ze so much that they complained. Fortunately, these wines were not the high-level wine produced in their own farm, otherwise Li Ze would have been lying down long ago.
After three rounds of wine, the emperor's gift arrived.
A plaque written by the emperor's handwriting was sent over with gongs and drums. It is impossible to say that Li Ze and the bride Liu Ruyan both wanted to come out to thank him.
Li Ze's face was flushed, and there was no need to say that he was shaking. Liu Ruyan, who took off the bride's face makeup, attracted the attention of most people. Even the eunuchs who came to announce the imperial edict looked at the bride more in surprise, which made Liu Ruyan regret it.
This makeup has been removed too early.
This is not over yet. The emperor's envoy had just left, and the empress's gift was given by the empress dowager and the empress's gift came again. Compared to the emperor's just a shabby plaque, the empress dowager's gift was extremely affordable, with silk, satin, gold and silver jewelry, and several full sets of choices.
After several riots, the big men also said goodbye one after another, and their purpose was achieved. Whether it was the emperor or the empress dowager's envoy, they all saw them drinking with the general in a harmonious manner. That's all.
After seeing off these dignitaries, Li Ze did not feel more relaxed, because the banquet was already from noon to night, and those who were still in the mansion could be called their own people. When dealing with those dignitaries, Li Ze could still hide if he could, and avoid him if he could, but in front of his own people, he could dodge and dodge.
The newlyweds were not big or small for three days. The guards who followed Li Ze to the Jing, led by Chen Changping, Li Mi and Yelu Qi came up to toast them one by one. Li Ze all finished the drink until the wine was done. In the end, it was Zhang Hui Gongsun Changming who spoke, and Li Ze was able to thank all the guards for their good deeds with a glass of wine, and then he was able to get out.
On the wedding night, the title of the Golden List is called the second happy event in life. However, when Li Ze staggered back to the wedding room with the support of a crowd, he was a little staggered.
The servants smiled and said, "After the joy, they left the new house one by one." Of course, they drove away Zhang Hui, who was disrespectful to the old man outside the house, and Gongsun Changming. Li Ze's subordinates naturally did not have the courage to listen to the bridal chamber. These two were usually incompatible, but at this time, they formed an allied army. Of course, they could only leave awkwardly due to the scolding and driving away by Liu Ruyan and his tough servants.
In the new house, the red candle suddenly went out.
"Ah, why is it so big?" Li Ze stuttered in the darkness, but with a little surprised voice.
"My husband, what's the big one?" The bride's shy voice sounded.
"I mean here!"
"Oh, you pinched me." With a snap, a crisp sound came from the room. "I'm so embarrassed."
"The husband and wife are so proud of each other, and the road to human relations is not ashamed." In the darkness, laughter came from eating. "By the way, I will leave Chang'an in the future, and you can't wear clothes that open the collar."
"Why, it looks very good. I couldn't wear it before, but I can wear it in the future."
"I can't wear it in the future, because I will eat it."
