bastard seizes tang

Chapter 395
In mid-June, on the thirteenth, at the end of summer.

The great heat has passed and autumn is approaching. The weather in Chang'an City is no longer as hot as it used to be, but a little cooler. The wedding between King Li Ke of Chu and Wu Meiniang, daughter of Duke Ying's warrior Xun, is coming as scheduled.

The standard of Li Ke's big marriage is said to be the same as that of Li Tai, but because of the different people who marry, there will inevitably be many differences.

Wei Wang Li Tai was favored by the emperor, although he was not inferior to Li Ke, but to tell the truth, he was still just a favored prince. In terms of prestige and achievements, he was not the same as Li Ke, and there would be many differences invisibly.

At dusk, when the sun had fallen, Li Ke set off from the palace of the Prince of Chu, stepped down from Shenjun Dingbei, headed by the prince's guard of honor, from Yankangfang, passed Xinghuafang, and went straight to Fenglefang where Wufu was located. and go.

Chu Wang's Mansion and Wu Mansion are quite close to each other, the east and west are only one square away, and in just one stick of incense, the welcoming crowd from Chu Wang's Mansion arrives at the gate of Wu Mansion.

According to the Tang etiquette, when two families get married, when the husband's family goes to the daughter's house to welcome the relatives, they need to go through three rituals: "prompting", "getting off the son-in-law", and "blocking the car". At that time, the door of the woman's house was closed tightly, and the door of her husband's house was blocked. After a long time of yelling, the door could be opened, and the husband was allowed to enter the door to greet the relatives and take the wife away.

After the "pretending" is "the son-in-law". The so-called "son-in-law" means that after the door of the woman's house is opened, the elders of the woman's aunt and aunt wait for the husband to enter the door. The purpose of the gentleman is to warn the gentleman that after getting married, he must never bully his wife. As for the "son-in-law", he will "block the car".

It's just that these etiquettes are mostly used in folk marriage customs, but the wedding of Li Ke and Wu Meiniang was under the finger of Li Shimin. Li Ke welcomed his relatives to the gate of Wufu, who dared to pretend to be against the order and asked Li Ke to close the door Pretending to be pretentious, especially when it comes to son-in-law, Li Ke is a prince, a nobleman, who dares to beat Li Ke with a wooden stick, even if it's just for show.

When Li Ke led his family to Wufu, not only the gate of Wufu was opened, but even the leader of the Wu family, warrior Xun, was waiting at the gate of the inner courtyard.

The samurai Xun was born in humble beginnings, relying on his old achievements and the grace of the Supreme Emperor to become what he is today, so he has always been cautious in the court, even if he is the prince of the country, he never dared to act on his own, and acted humbly.

The warrior Xun had dealt with Li Ke in Jiangling, but at that time the warrior Xun and Li Ke were still monarchs and ministers, and there was no such thing as a son-in-law. It is respectful.

The warrior Xun was cautious and was used to treating Li Ke respectfully, so when he stood at the gate of the inner courtyard and saw Li Ke approaching him in a crimson gauze robe, the warrior Xun lightly waved his robe and wanted to see him.

If in the past, Li Ke was the king, and the warrior Xun was the minister, it would be reasonable for the warrior Xun to worship Li Ke first, but from now on, Li Ke and Wu Meiniang are married, Ke is the son-in-law, and the warrior Xun is the old man, how can the father-in-law pay homage to Li Ke first? Li Ke's reasoning.

Yang's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick, seeing the appearance of the warrior Xun, he immediately grabbed the warrior Xun and said softly: "Ah Lang, what are you doing?"

The samurai Xun was dragged like this by Yang, and then he remembered that today is different from the past. If he worshiped Li Ke first, wouldn't his seniority be messed up, so he straightened up and waited for Li Ke to come forward.

"My son-in-law, Li Ke, pay my respects to my father-in-law and my mother-in-law." Li Ke stepped forward, walked up to the warriors Xun and Yang, and bowed down to them.

At this moment, Mrs. Yang quickly stepped forward, helped Li Ke who bowed down, and said to Li Ke: "Your Highness is coming, please get up quickly."

Li Ke stood up with Yang's support. Li Ke stood up and said to Yang: "From today onwards, Mei Niang is my son-in-law's wife, and the son-in-law is the third in the family. My mother-in-law calls my son-in-law." Saburo is, don't mention the title of His Highness again."

As soon as Li Kezhi spoke, Yang Shi and Warrior Xun looked at each other with smiles in their eyes. Although Li Kezhi's words were light, they were full of respect for their martial family and love for Wu Meiniang.

The so-called heaven, earth, master, master, before the kiss, today is the wedding ceremony of Li Ke and Wu Meiniang. In front of everyone, the warriors Xun and Yang naturally need to hold a little bit, but the respect is absolutely inescapable. But Li Ke said these words, and he regarded himself as a nephew and junior, so he naturally respected the Wu family and loved Wu Meiniang.

When Yang heard this, she beamed with joy, and said with a smile to Li Ke: "Sanlang wait a moment, Mei Niang is already waiting in the boudoir, I will lead her out."

"Thank you, ma'am." Li Ke cupped his hands and thanked him.

------------

Mrs. Yang entered the inner courtyard and was about to welcome Wu Meiniang out. At the same time, Wu Meiniang was already fully dressed in the boudoir of the inner courtyard, and she was waiting for her husband accompanied by her eldest sister Wu Shun and her maid Jin'er.

Today is the day of Wu Meiniang's big wedding. Wu Meiniang wears a glazed hairpin inlaid with gold and jade on her head, a blue wide-sleeved gown with red embellishments, and purple silk on her shoulders. It is exactly the gown worn by the prince and concubine when she got married. It feels very luxurious.

"Little lady, your clothes today are really pretty." In front of the dressing table in the boudoir, Wu Meiniang's maid, Jin'er, looked at Wu Meiniang's flower hairpin gown and praised softly.

"This gown is okay, but the hairpin is really heavy, and it's really hard to wear. I really want to take it off and rest for a while." Wu Meiniang slowly supported the hairpin on her bun with one hand, and rubbed it with the other. Rubbing the back of her neck, she said to Jin'er.

The flower hairpins on Wu Meiniang's head totaled nine tins, and the whole body was made of colored glaze, inlaid with gold and jade. They were much heavier than the jade hairpins Wu Meiniang wore in the past. Wu Meiniang was young and lacked strength, so she naturally felt it after wearing it for a long time. tired.

Wu Shun, who was accompanying Wu Meiniang and other relatives in the room at the side, heard the words, and hurried forward, gently supported the flower hairpin on Wu Meiniang's head, and enviously said to Wu Meiniang: "Sister, take it easy, what you are wearing today The flower hairpin is not unusual, the Nine Trees Depicted Hui hairpin is extremely expensive, it was specially ordered by the imperial concubine to be sent from the palace, there are not many people in the world who can wear this flower hairpin, it is impossible to ask for it of."

Married to Li Ke, Wu Meiniang was the main concubine of the King of Chu, the head of the married woman, and the flower hairpins worn by the married women were divided into five classes, and the nine-tree painting hairpin worn on Wu Meiniang's head was not available for non-princesses and concubines, so Wu Shun had This word.

Wu Meiniang replied: "My sister said that I know it, but this hairpin is really heavy, so I only wear it for half a day. If I have to wear it for a whole day, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."

Hearing this, Wu Shun helped Wu Meiniang to support the hairpin on her head, and said, "There is no one else at the moment, so it's okay for my younger sister to take it easy, but it's just that my younger sister is getting married today, and later all the courtiers and ministers will go to the Chu Palace. Congratulations, when the time comes, the little girl needs to be careful in her actions, and don't let people read the jokes of Chu Palace."

"Thank you sister for reminding me, my little sister knows the importance." Wu Meiniang smiled and agreed.

"That's good." Wu Shun said with a smile.

Wu Shun stood behind Wu Meiniang, looking through the bronze mirror in front of Wu Meiniang, looking at Wu Meiniang who was as beautiful as peaches and plums and as delicate as spring flowers in the mirror. Consciously or unintentionally, I felt a little more awe in my heart.

Wu Shun knew that even though Wu Meiniang is still her little sister now, when Wu Meiniang enters Chu Palace today, and when she goes back to Wu Mansion to visit relatives in the future, Wu Meiniang will no longer be just her little sister, but will be like a cloud Princess Chu.
