The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 114 Big Marriage ([-])

He was relieved, but others were not. They almost broke their legs for the prince's marriage, but they didn't complain. On the contrary, they felt Guan Rong.

At Gao’s house, Tao Gu handed over something the size of a memorial to Gao Huaide:
"Master Gao, this is the crown prince's birth date, please keep it."

This memorial-like thing was written on Zhao Xu's birthday, which was the so-called Najib.According to Zhou etiquette, Najib is the man’s parents handing over the horoscope of their son’s birthday to the matchmaker to bring to the woman. This is the “oversized post”, “changing Luan’s book”, also known as “tongshu”, which is actually a bit of an engagement mean.

Engagement They have been engaged for a long time, and now they are doing it according to etiquette. You must know that the Song Dynasty still attaches great importance to such etiquette, even the emperor is not exempt from it.

Gao Huaide looked at it symbolically, and said Dashan, he didn't know anything about birth dates, but could the prince's fate be bad, just say it's okay.

Tao Gu is also straightforward, directly ordering people to bring up the dowry, this is to prepare for the discussion of the wedding date, Nazheng refers to this, this is the most practical thing, but these dowry gifts are also symbolic, no matter what kind of bride's family it is given to, it is very important happy.

However, the dowry gift for the noisy crown prince's marriage will naturally not be casual, and it goes without saying that all kinds of jewelry.

The strange thing is that the people in the palace still carried a large wine bottle containing a little wine, filled with eight large flowers and eight handicraft ornaments, tied to the burden with bonuses, and sent them here.

Gao Huaide was stunned. He didn't understand these things, but he didn't understand why there was such a thing. Fortunately, the old woman who took care of Gao Qiong knew that he was an old man after all, so he still knew some customs.

Under the guidance of the old woman, the servants of Gao's family prepared two bottles of fresh water, three to five live fish, and a pair of chopsticks, which were often called "returning fish chopsticks".

"Hui Yu Chopsticks" is a symbolic thing. Fish Chopsticks is a homonym for happy, and it is used to express the woman's family's satisfaction with the marriage.This is also very important. This shows that everything has been settled, and finally it is time to welcome the bride.

"Xu'er, why are you teasing Zhao'er here again? You don't have to prepare for your marriage tomorrow. You're still acting like a child." He Shi walked over.

Zhao Xu is hugging his second brother, the next guy has already grown a few teeth, he is very chubby and cute:
"I'm your child even if I get married, right? In your eyes, I'll always be a child." Originally, this was supposed to be said behind the scenes by her, but unexpectedly he said it.

"You, better prepare yourself to meet Guiying in person tomorrow. You don't need to ask about other matters. The lady from the Fu family can't let you go to greet her in person. She is a side concubine after all. But don't worry. I will do things with style and glory.”

Reaching out to take his second son, He Shi said to Zhao Xu.

"By the way, you don't want to see Ling'er today. You can't meet until you get married, you know?"

Zhao Xu scratched his head, and with this rule, he absolutely didn't believe it. He also saw his son's expression and knew that he might not believe it, so he ordered:

"Anyway, you just don't want to go. This is an old rule. No matter what you say, you have to abide by it. Make it auspicious, don't you know?"

Sometimes hearing the nagging of relatives is also a kind of happiness. Zhao Xu's face showed a happy expression, but he thought of another thing;
"Mother, why did I see that the people from the Ministry of Rites went to Guiying's house to deliver something just now? What is he? He is married tomorrow, so why did he give something away?"

Just now Zhao Xu saw that Tao Gu led a lot of people to the Gaofu with a lot of things, and the posture was quite grand. It seems that Lao Tao has suffered a lot in the past two days.

When He heard his son's question, He could not help but smile. Although his son was 19 years old, he was still a child:

"You, of course they are going to send the Fengguan Xiapei to Guiying, otherwise what will she wear when she gets into the sedan chair tomorrow?"

No, I used to always see these things on TV, aren't they all prepared by the woman's home, and I really don't know when the man's home will prepare them.

"And Guiying's family gave you back the groom's official hat and clothes when you went to greet your relatives tomorrow. You must not know about this."

"By the way, the Gao family will send someone to tidy up your new house later on. You can go and have a look after a while. I'll take Zhao'er to the harem to see how Linger's preparations are going."

Zhao Xu still knows about tidying up the new house. This is the so-called shop house. The house shop is the night before the wedding ceremony in ancient times. Women are appointed to decorate the bridal chamber.

Because the content of making a room is mainly to arrange beds and supplies, it is often called making beds.There is also a lot of attention to making the bed.

First of all, it is advisable to invite "blessed" older women with married couples, prosperous children and grandchildren or wealthy families.Of course, if it is the aunt or brother-in-law of the bride or groom.That's the best.

In fact, the best thing is that they have both children. This is the best choice, which brings the blessing of having both children to the newly married couple.

Of course, when making the bed, you should say some auspicious words when making the room. This is just like a happy marriage, an early baby, and so on.

Making the bed is not just about making the bed, but also placing the bed correctly. The only thing to pay attention to is that the bed should be close to the gable wall, and the bed will be as stable as Mount Tai if it is against the wall.It symbolizes that the bride and groom will live a stable life in the future and have a backer.

Just when Zhao Xu was about to go out for a walk, Miao Xun walked over. Zhao Xu hadn't seen him for a long time, because Miao Xun was now the prince's horse.

The prince washes the horse, this is "the first horse". , is the official subordinate of the crown prince of the East Palace. Literally, the crown prince is the leader.It can be said that he is the prince's confidant. At first, he was not willing to do so, but in the end Zhao Xu insisted on him. This time, there was no way.

However, he also helped Zhao Xu take care of Fengying's affairs, and Liu Hongqing and the others had nothing to do with it, because they were all trained by Miao Xun that day.

"Prince, I have something important to report to you. This Li Zhongjin is about to rebel. This is the news from Zhai Shouxun."

This Li Chongjin rebelled when I got married, you want to die, but you can't let him disturb my big day.

"Mr. Miao, go and ask Liu Hongqing to investigate, and also ask Dong Xuanye's Jinyiwei to be transferred to the outskirts of Yangzhou so that no one will find anything. I must personally cut Li Chongjin alive."

"Yes, by the way, a group of wives came to Prince Gao's residence and said that they came to Prince's East Palace to prepare for your wedding. Would you like to go back and take a look?" Miao Xun asked.

"Well, Mr. Miao, go ahead and I'll go see what's going on with them first." When Zhao Xu returned to the Crown Prince's East Palace, he heard some festive messages coming from the room where he was preparing for the wedding. sound.

One shop is gold, the other shop is silver, Qilin sends the son to the door.The third bunk is Taoli Garden, a loving couple for 100 years, the fourth bunk is filled with four seasons' wealth, and gold and silver treasures are rolling in.

The fifth shop and the sixth shop are for getting rich, the seventh shop and the eight shop are stacked with treasuries, the ninth shop is full of big ingots, and the tenth shop is really complete, and there are girls and boys.The one who gave birth to a girl is the empress, and the one who gives birth to a boy is the number one scholar.

New blankets, eiderdown quilts, the young couple sleeps together, and will have a pair next year, a man and a woman singing together.The bed is made so well that a pair of boys can't run away, and the bed is made so well, it has been prosperous and rich for thousands of years.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu heard someone talking inside:
"Just now we said that the one who gives birth to a girl is the empress, and the one who gives birth to a boy is the champion. This sentence is wrong."

"What's wrong with her aunt? Isn't that what the old saying goes?"

"That's right, it's been said for so many years, and that's what you said when you got married."

"I mean my family, Gui Ying, wants to be the princess, and she will become the queen in the future. The son she gave birth to will be the prince and prince, and the daughter will be the princess. So I said we were wrong."

After she said this, everyone realized that the place where they are now is the palace, and this is the prince's palace. What they said is indeed a bit wrong.At that moment the prince came in.

When everyone saw the prince coming in, they saluted immediately. Zhao Xu immediately asked them not to be too polite. Zhao Xu saw that there was Gao Huailiang's wife, Gao Guiying's aunt, and Gao Huailiang gave birth to twins last year. Yes.

Seeing that everyone came here to build a house for him so wholeheartedly, Zhao Xu couldn't be stingy, and immediately rewarded everyone present.

The next day, before dawn, Zhao Xu was called up by the little eunuch outside, saying that the emperor and queen had arrived.Zhao Xu hurriedly got up to freshen up.

When he came to the front hall, Zhao Kuangyin and Mrs. He were waiting for him. When he saw Zhao Xu coming, Mrs. He waved his hand, and a few eunuchs and maids came over with a few plates on which the groom's clothes were placed.

Before Zhao Xu could react, he was put on a top hat. What made Zhao Xu most uncomfortable was that there were two golden flowers on it.

Put on a brand-new new dress for him, a long red gauze, slung down from his right shoulder, to his left rib, and then wrapped around his waist.

A handsome young man appeared in front of everyone, not to mention that Zhao Xu looked even more handsome in this groom's outfit.No wonder people often say that getting married is the happiest and most beautiful moment for a person.

These words are not only for girls, but also for men. Even He Shi is very satisfied with his son.

Of course, Zhao Xu couldn't go alone to greet the relatives, and some important officials from the court accompanied him. None of the six ministers of the prime minister accompanied them all. They all went to make soy sauce, which showed the grandeur of the wedding.
