I am a soldier in the border army
Chapter 478: Wedding! The Second Lady of the East and the West!
Chapter 478: Wedding! The Second Lady of the East and the West! (Part )
There are complicated rules for marriages between noble families.
The three books and six ceremonies take a lot of time, sometimes as long as one or two years.
If the time is too short, others will undoubtedly laugh at you for being rude behind your back.
Han Shao's wedding was actually very simple, which compressed and saved a lot of time.
The official wedding date was originally set for August.
But Jiang Hu didn't expect that Han Shao would suddenly send him a message, saying that he wanted to get married early.
This really caught Jiang Hu off guard.
He did not find it hard, but he was worried that Han Shao's eagerness would give those noble families who liked to look down on Han Shao's background behind his back a chance to talk, thus affecting his reputation and prestige.
How could Han Shao not have thought of this?
Although he didn't care about these damn reputations, he should at least consider the face of Gongsun Xinyi, Jiang Wan, and even the Gongsun clan and Li Wenjing.
It’s a pity that Gongye Jin’s gamble was a bad move.
The changing situation in Yanzhou made it impossible for him to wait any longer.
Otherwise, once the news of Gongye Jin's defeat in Yanzhou spread, the world would be in turmoil and people's hearts would be in turmoil.
At this time, he, a loyal and good man like Yong, was still happily marrying new wives, and not two at once.
How do you want the world to see him?
How should Emperor Taikang view him?
Not only will it instantly attract the attention of countless people, but you might also be the target of anger and resentment.
So in the final analysis, we can only choose the lesser of two evils.
……
Although Jiang Hu has no political acumen, he doesn't know much about the so-called world affairs.
But he thought he knew Han Shao quite well.
Given how much Han Shao values Wan Niang and Madam Gongsun, he would never be careless about such an important event in life that would only happen once in a lifetime unless it was necessary.
So after taking a quick glance at the secret letter from Yanzhou, he didn't say anything else.
He just sighed and said, "Good things take time."
As for the life and death of Gongye Jin and the 100,000 Divine Capital Guards, apart from feeling a little regretful, he did not have any deep feelings.
The journey to the capital is long, so who can expect an old soldier from the frontier army to have a high sense of patriotism?
Or maybe I did have that experience when I was young and passionate.
But as my brother, elder brother Han and I rode away on horseback and returned on horseback, we did not receive the compensation from the court as we should have, and some things had already cooled and become indifferent.
After returning the secret letter to Han Shao, Jiang Hu regained his composure and said helplessly.
"But this way, the time is a bit too tight."
When time is tight, many things have to be done simply and quickly.
It would be fine for ordinary people, but with Han Shao's current status and position, it would be too embarrassing if his house was too shabby and simple.
If Jiang Hu was involved in this matter as Jiang Wan's uncle, perhaps we could ignore it.
But he is not.
In this wedding, he is Han Shao's closest relative and elder, representing his elder brother Han.
If he fails to do this matter perfectly, how can he be worthy of the late eldest brother of the Han family?
Seeing this, Han Shao smiled and comforted him.
"It's an emergency, so don't worry too much, uncle."
Jiang Hu sighed softly.
Things have come to this, and that's all.
……
June 18th, the sixty-first year of Taikang, the year of Jiaxu, the day of Yimao.
Good luck, everything goes well.
On this day, Han Shao finally experienced the greatest transformation in his two lives: he was getting married.
Although the sudden change of the wedding date made everything seem a little hasty.
However, under the premise of abundant human and material resources, the necessary ceremonies and regulations for a wedding were not neglected.
Han Shao, who had been resting all night in his empty room, got up early in the morning. Just as he was about to call a maid to help him change his clothes, he found that all the people who pushed the door open were his concubines.
Han Shao didn't know what to say when he saw this.
"Why are you doing this?"
For a woman, the pain of watching her beloved marry someone else in public is self-evident.
Upon hearing this, the concubines including Yu Xuanji looked gloomy for a moment, and then smiled.
"It is a blessing to have the chance to serve you in this life, why would I say it is hard?"
As he spoke, Chen Wenjun stepped forward and said.
"My husband is very happy today, let's not talk about this."
"Come, let me wash you up."
The division of labor among the people was clear, as if they had discussed it in advance.
The sixth brother, Bai Zhenzhen, held the golden wash basin for Han Shao to wash his face with clean water.
Han Shao looked at her with an expression as if she was offering a treasure and laughed.
“It’s really hard work.”
This was the first time that Han Shao called her name in such a doting tone. Bai Zhenzhen couldn't help but be a little distracted and stammered softly.
"No...it's not hard."
After taking the cloth handed over by Tushan Feixuan and wiping it, Han Shao was then pushed by Chen Wenjun in front of the makeup mirror that she had almost never used, to carefully take care of the black hair behind her head.
One comb, two combs...
By the time his hair was tied into the jade crown, Yu Xuanji had already walked up to him holding a red and purple wedding gown, and together with Shangguan Zhi, she helped him change his clothes.
In fact, Han Shao could complete all these complicated actions with just a thought.
But he never refused from beginning to end, but let them do it themselves without showing any impatience.
And when all this was finally completed, Tushan Feixuan couldn't help but sigh.
"My dear, you are so handsome..."
The Qingqiu fox clan is famous for their looks, but there are not many like my husband.
Even if there are comparable ones, they lack that unique flavor, and are more refined but lack verve.
Especially today's red and purple wedding gown, which shows her nobleness in the world and makes people unable to take their eyes away.
As soon as she said this, the other girls all showed expressions of deep agreement. Han Shao laughed and praised.
"Have vision!"
After saying this, Han Shao estimated that the time was about up, so he didn't stay in front of them any longer.
But before leaving, Han Shao thought about it and said something to comfort her.
"Since you've entered my home, you're one family."
"When the family is harmonious, everything will be prosperous. No one will bully anyone else. Don't worry."
……
The courtyard is too small to move around freely.
Therefore, Han Shao's wedding can only take place in the new mansion.
After leaving the main courtyard to sleep, Han Shao first went to open up another ancestral temple to worship the ancestors of the Han family.
After lighting three incense sticks, Han Shao bowed deeply.
"Father, please wait a moment. I will go to meet the new bride."
When he arrived at the front yard, Han Shao said with shamefaced expression when he saw Jiang Hu, who was also wearing festive clothes today.
"My uncle has been working hard for me these days..."
Normally, Jiang Hu needs to consider Han Shao's identity, but not today.
Jiang Hu waved his hand to interrupt Han Shao's words and glared at him as he did before.
"You call me uncle, and that is my responsibility. There is no need to say anything more."
Han Shao quickly nodded in agreement.
Then he looked at Jiang Hu with some emotion and smiled.
"Come to think of it, uncle hasn't spoken to me like this in a long time."
In my memory, Shao Ge'er respected his uncle, but was actually a little afraid of him inside.
Jiang Hu felt disappointed when he heard this.
"Time flies by so fast..."
It seemed like in the blink of an eye, the young boy who was so timid in front of her had grown into such a tall and handsome man.
It’s a pity that Brother Han and his elder brother were not able to see this day with their own eyes.
But today is a happy day, so there is no need to think about these things.
Jiang Hu gathered his thoughts, and after learning that Han Shao had already offered sacrifices in front of Brother Han, he thought for a moment and spoke up to remind him.
"Tell your father-in-law later. He...he must have been waiting for this day for a long time—"
Despite repeated warnings, Jiang Hu couldn't help but his eyes turned red and he lost his composure. Han Shao also understood that the father-in-law Jiang Hu was referring to was not Gongsun Du and Li Wenjing, so he nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, uncle. Shao can save it."
Without mentioning the past left by his previous life, he just thought of the call of "my son of the unicorn" from the rugged man in the illusion.
Han Shao would not be the slightest bit disrespectful to his deceased father-in-law.
Hearing this, Jiang Hu finally smiled with relief.
"Go ahead, don't keep them waiting."
Han Shao bowed and smiled.
"Uncle, wait a minute. I will bring the bride to you and serve you tea."
……
"Your Majesty, leave the house and welcome your new bride!"
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Following Zhong Hanggu's sharp and high shout, the festive atmosphere in the new mansion completely boiled over.
The entire Zhenliao City was also in a state of excitement.
When Han Shao mounted his black horse with a big red silk flower on its head and walked slowly out of the mansion surrounded by a group of personal guards, all he saw was a dazzling and festive red color.
Countless crowds of people gathered on both sides of the long street.
"Happy New Year, Duke, you have brought home a beautiful woman. Congratulations to you, Duke!"
Then, a burst of auspicious words such as "Have a baby soon" and "May you have a happy marriage" filled my ears, the noise was endless.
Han Shao looked stunned.
Because he had specifically instructed that this wedding should not disturb the people.
It is expected that no one would dare to disobey his orders or go to great lengths to please him.
So...it was all spontaneous?
Turning his head to look at Zhonghang Gu and Xiao Yu who were following him to welcome the bride, Han Shao saw that they were both shaking their heads at him innocently. He immediately had the answer in his mind.
And the fact was just as Han Shao guessed.
This city-wide celebration was not organized or hosted by anyone; it was all a spontaneous act of the people.
The reason was not complicated and had nothing to do with Han Shao's current status.
They were just grateful, grateful that Han Shao had annihilated countless Wuhuan barbarians in one battle and completely conquered the northern border.
Not only was he able to live a peaceful life from then on, but he also avenged his family members who had been killed by the wild dogs.
Han Shao didn't know what to say about this.
No matter which world or time period, these common people are the easiest to be "fooled".
If meat eaters do them a little kindness, they will repay them with great gratitude.
But many things are just the responsibility of those in a higher position and are not worth boasting about.
Looking at those faces that were even more excited and joyful than his own, Han Shao sighed in his heart.
Han Shao glanced at the festive red decorations hung on almost every household on both sides of the long street and gave a voice instruction.
"After my wedding, send people to the people's homes to buy the red silk and red cloth."
"Don't let my family affairs become a burden to the people."
Vermilion and purple are noble colors.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the nobles were not qualified to wear it.
So unless it comes to marriage, these red cloths and red silks are of no use.
And how many times can a person get married in his lifetime?
……
On the long street, Han Shao was wearing red and ribbons, and even the black horse under his crotch was walking with its head held high, looking very majestic.
Actually, Han Shao rarely needs this beast for transportation nowadays.
I am so busy with my daily affairs that I have no time to think about Him.
As time went by, this fellow became wild in temperament and often ran out to have fun. Sometimes, even Han Shao couldn't find his whereabouts without using his divine sense.
Fortunately, he did not fall behind in his cultivation. After not seeing him for a while, he showed signs of being on the verge of transforming into a dragon.
Han Shao was sighing in his heart when he suddenly heard Zhong Xinggu ask a question cautiously behind him.
"Sir, which house shall we go to first?"
Han Shao heard this without much hesitation.
"Let's go to Jiang's house first."
Although the two families were married on the same day, there was bound to be a certain order of priority.
Han Shao also had a headache about this.
After all, they are all human beings. If he shows favoritism, Han Shao will feel bad, no matter what they think.
However, what surprised Han Shao was that Gongsun Xinyi actually took a step back at this critical moment.
The reason she gave was simple.
"Everything has a first come first served order. It's normal for me to come a little late and wait for a while."
In fact, Jiang Wan knew that back then in the old house in the courtyard, she took the initiative to step back and called Gongsun Xinyi "sister".
Now that Gongsun Xinyi has taken the initiative to step back, it can be considered a give and take, and both sides are even.
This is because I don't want to owe her anything.
So Jiang Wan didn't say anything too polite about it.
Just like that, this headache that should have made Han scratch his head was solved so easily.
The only thing that made him feel a little uncomfortable was that he had to endure Gongsun Du's cold face for a few days.
But Gongsun Xinyi didn't fight back, so what could he, as her old father, do?
In the end, you can only accept it with a pinch of your nose.
……
The decline of the Jiang and Han families is not a one- or two-day phenomenon.
So even though it is a happy day today, this huge mansion cannot be said to be very lively.
Fortunately, Jiang Hu's status is rising now, and there are many people who flatter him and want to curry favor with him.
It’s just that because Jiang Hu stayed with the championship all the time, they couldn’t reach it, so in the end they could only go the wife route.
In addition, there are a group of colleagues in the military.
As their lord Han Shao was getting married, they naturally had to go to Han Shao to take care of him and celebrate.
However, their wives and families were all arranged to stay in the Jiang Mansion.
So when Han Shao entered the Jiang Mansion in a red and purple wedding robe, he was immediately startled.
Good guy!
All you can see are old ladies and young girls, and almost no men!
If you didn’t know, you would almost think you had accidentally entered the Land of Women!
"Aunt, Shao Ge'er, I'm here to pick up Wan Niang."
Looking at Aunt Jiang, who was now dressed in silk and brocade, Han Shao smiled.
When Aunt Jiang saw Han Shao walk into the house, she rolled her eyes at him.
"You still have some conscience."
No matter what, this guy did not break his promise after all.
He came to take his good girl home.
Your Majesty has granted the marriage and married her in a formal ceremony.
It can be said to be the ultimate glory of a woman's life.
As for that lady, forget it, just leave her alone.
Her good daughter doesn't care, so what can she, as her aunt, say?
"Auntie, drink some more."
At this moment, seeing Han Shao respectfully serving tea to her, not at all as majestic as the rumors said, Aunt Jiang didn't know what to say.
He just sighed.
"Shao Ge'er, do you blame me for the way my aunt treated you before?"
Han Shao hurriedly said, "If it weren't for my uncle and aunt, it's hard to say whether Shao would have grown up. How could I hate my aunt?"
His aunt has always been good at talking, but both Shao Ge'er and Han Shao can see that she is actually very soft-hearted.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that he was not worthy of Wan Niang while allowing them to get so close to each other as if no one was around.
In addition, when Jiang Hu used his own salary to support Han Shao's studies and martial arts training, she also never said anything.
She was just annoyed at Han's stupidity and his lack of understanding, which made her so disappointed.
To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than being disappointed in one's friends.
Aunt Jiang couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Han Shao's words were sincere.
She asked this question not because she was really worried that Han Shao would bear a grudge against her.
I just wanted to test Han Shao's attitude.
If he didn't even bear a grudge against her own harsh words, he would naturally not forget the kindness of her good daughter.
Only then can she feel truly at ease.
"Shao, my daughter is weak and easily bullied. You must protect her after she gets married!"
Han Shao's face froze when he heard this.
Weak? Being bullied?
Auntie, do you have any misunderstanding about your 'disciple'?
