The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 115 Big Wedding (Part [-])

"See your majesty, see the queen, see the prince, the auspicious time has come for the prince to welcome you." Liu Qinhu came in and reported.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the queen and then at Zhao Xu. At this time, He stood up and walked to Zhao Xu to straighten his collar and let him go out.

The officials outside had already waited outside, and when Zhao Xu came out to salute him, Zhao Xu also changed the salute:
"My lords, thank you for your trouble. Today we don't distinguish between monarchs and ministers. You are all my elders and my friends. Today is the person who will accompany me to welcome my relatives. Let's all go."

Tao Gu ran up to Zhao Xu at this time. He was a matchmaker and a bridegroom, reminding Zhao Xu not to forget some etiquette.

Zhao Xu walked out of the East Palace, and suddenly saw a five or six-year-old child standing there, carrying a chicken coop. When he saw Zhao Xu coming out, he immediately ran over:

"Congratulations, brother, congratulations, brother." The voice was tender and sweet.

But Zhao Xu was stunned. He really didn't know this kid, so why did he come here? At this time, Shi Shouxin, his father's brother-in-law, came over and saluted Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu quickly returned the salute and called Shi uncle.

"Prince, he is my youngest son named Shi Baoqing. Today he is your rooster hugger." The rooster hugger is to find a little boy to hold a rooster when getting married in some places, as a good omen.

When Zhao Xu saw that he was carrying a chicken coop with a big red rooster tied to its foot, he really looked like a chicken hugger.

Besides, he is the son of Shi Shouxin, Shi Shouxin is now almost the No.1 military general in the court.So Zhao Xu stepped forward to touch, touched Shi Baoqingfan's small head and said with a smile:
"Brother, thank you Xiaoqing for your help."

Shi Baoqing said in a childish voice:

"Daddy said that there will be sweets for brother's help." After saying a word, everyone laughed, which fit the festive atmosphere.

Talking and laughing, everyone came out and started to meet the bride. As soon as Zhao Xu came out, the musicians beside him began to play hard.Zhao Xu rode a tall horse and drove slowly towards Gao's house.

The Gao family is also beaming now, but in Gao Huaide's room Gao Guiying's face is full of tears, despite his usual carelessness, but at this moment she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Okay, Gui Ying, today is your big day, go and get ready, your mother is very happy to see you today." Gao Huaide also couldn't stop his tears, his wife died early, and he pulled his daughter, Now that his daughter is married, his mood is inexplicably complicated.

Soon little Gao Qiong ran over bouncing around. He also wore a new suit today. He looked very handsome. When he grows up, he will definitely be popular among thousands of girls.

"Daddy, my sister has many people outside, that brother came riding a big horse, and there are many people."

Gao Huaide and Gao Guiying also knew who the brother the little guy was talking about was.So Gao Huaide immediately called the servants in the mansion to let Gao Guiying go to dress up, while he took little Gao Qiong to the gate.

When Gao Huaide went outside, it was already very busy, and his younger brother Gao Huailiang was there to welcome guests.Zhao Xu saw Gao Huaide come out and bow to the ground.This is tantamount to kowtow.

Zhao Xu called Uncle Gao, but Shi Shouxin and others next to him joked:

"It's still called Uncle Gao, but I should call it Laozhangren hahaha." But it's just a joke, Shi Shouxin and the others congratulated Gao Huaide.

After everyone finished seeing the ceremony, they welcomed the ministers to the living room to sit down, but Zhao Xu couldn't go in, so he had to go to greet the bride?
But this is also the saddest hurdle. People from this natal family may think of ways to tease me, but I am not afraid of anything.

Sure enough, a servant led her to Gao Huaiying's boudoir, and the door was already occupied by many older girls and younger wives.

At this time, someone shouted: "The prince is coming, you all get out of the way quickly."

However, some people also shouted: "Today there is no prince, only the bride and groom, don't think about it if you don't take out the wedding money."

Zhao Xu was smiling, and he wasn't unhappy at all. This is a custom, and it's also a celebration. Fortunately, he was prepared to give out a lot of red envelopes.

Some of them were made of copper plates, and some of them were broken silver. They were either a lot of founders or just for auspiciousness, and everyone didn't care. At this time, Zhao Xu was still thinking about whether he would be scolded for the lack of packaging in later generations.

The people in front of the door moved away one after another when they got the red envelopes, and the door opened at this time, but what Zhao Xu saw was not Gao Guiying, but several girls, all of whom seemed to be Gao Guiying's close friends.

"You are Sister Guiying's husband. I heard that you are the prince, but today you are Sister Guiying's husband. If you don't satisfy us, don't let Sister Guiying get on the sedan chair."

A young girl who seemed to be a bit savage, but Zhao Xu guessed that she was also the eldest lady of some family, so he didn't dare to offend these eldest ladies at this moment.

So Zhao Xu kept his posture very low, without any airs at all:
"Then follow my sister's orders."

When the girl heard that Zhao Xu agreed, her face was full of excitement, but he really didn't prepare any questions, so she turned around and discussed with the sisters for a few times before turning around:
"I heard that you are excellent in martial arts and we won't let you go. Then you can write a poem, but it's not a random one, but it can show the beauty of Guiying's sister. How about the future brother-in-law? It's not difficult." Bar?"

After finishing speaking, the little girl showed a little fox-like smile. They heard that the prince won the three armies bravely, but they didn't hear about his literary talent, so they gave him this song.

Zhao Xu also smiled slightly. He understood what they were thinking, but he really didn't have any poetic talent, but he had a lot of poems in his head. The accumulation of China's millennium is so likely to be lost by this small poem. Poetry stumps.

But he can't steal the poems from before the Song Dynasty. Those poems are too famous, but there are also later ones, just fool around. Soon he slowly recited a poem:

The beautiful woman gets up and leaves the orchid room, and turns to the mirror to put on red makeup.

How about Lang Hua?Lang Dao is not as good as Hua Yaotiao.

When the beautiful woman heard the words, she became coquettish and angry, and she didn't believe that dead flowers were better than living people.

Crush the flowers and throw them before the man: Please sleep with the flowers today!
Although the little girls didn't understand it very well, seeing Zhao Xu compose a poem so quickly, it could be seen that he was quick in writing. They didn't understand what it meant, but they obediently stepped aside.

When Zhao Xu and Gao Guiying were behind in the room, Zhao Xu could see Gao Guiying clearly at this time. Feng Guanxia looked more dazzling on his body, and looked more beautiful than usual.

At this time, someone was holding the red hijab that Zhao Xu and the others had brought, but they couldn't cover it for him at this time. Gao Guiying had to say goodbye to her father before she could put on the red hijab and get on the sedan chair.

When Gao Guiying knelt to say goodbye to his father, Gao Huaide couldn't stop crying, Tao Gu hurriedly persuaded him, now is not the time to cry, now is the happiest time.

Then Gao Guiying was helped onto the sedan chair, and Zhao Xu bid farewell to Gao Huaide. This time, he actually kowtowed, and Gao Huaide also accepted the ceremony.

Zhao Xu rode in front on a horse and kept saluting to the people around him. The drummer behind him also played desperately.Of course, there are also some gadgets and small things scattered along the way.

Soon the sedan chair arrived at the gate of the Daqing Palace, but Gao Guiying could not go directly to the ground. At this time, two court ladies came over, one with wheat bran in her hand, and a book in the other. With two scallions.

Zhao Xu was also very surprised, but he didn't ask. He knew what kind of ancient ritual it was.

At this time, someone immediately held a straw torch and dried it in front of the sedan chair.Only later did Zhao Xu realize that it was a littered sedan chair, in order to get rid of evil spirits and evil spirits.

Then I saw Tao Gu come over and ask Zhao Xu to kick the sedan chair door and carry the bride into the hall. At this time, the maid holding the book gave the book to Gao Guiying, and kept thinking that she was covered with wheat bran.

Zhao Xu was not only carrying this bride, but because there were three sedan chairs outside, he still had to carry the other two. After going back and forth several times, the three brides stood in the center of the hall with their heads covered.

Zhao Xu was holding a piece of red silk in his hand, and the other end was connected to the three brides. In front of them were Zhao Kuangyin and the He family, and the queen mother was sitting at the bottom. Are the parents older?

Tao Gu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is the host. He walked to Zhao Kuangyin's side:

"The emperor's auspicious time has come, do you think it's starting?"

"Aiqing is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. It's a matter of familiarity. Just follow your wishes." Tao Gu took the order.

He walked to Zhao Xu's front left.shouted:
"The auspicious time has come, the newcomer worships heaven and earth."

"One Worship"

"Second Worship Hall"

"Happy Couple"

"Sent into the bridal chamber"

Soon some etiquette was finally completed, but the three brides were sent back to the Prince's East Palace, which is the place where large-scale celebrations are held in the Daqing Hall.

Zhao Kuangyin has already prepared a banquet outside the hall for everyone to have fun. He just toasted a glass of wine here, and didn't stay here. If he were here, why would everyone have fun.

It's no wonder that as soon as Zhao Kuangyin left, everyone drank away, and Zhao Xu also toasted one by one. Although he could drink, he couldn't stand the crowd. After a while, he became a little drunk, and everyone was very sensible and didn't let him go. He drinks a lot.

He still has big things to do tonight, if he gets drunk, it's really hard to talk, and it's hard for everyone to call out the truth in the future.

But just like that, when Zhao Xu went back with the help of the little eunuch, he was already on the verge of collapse, but as soon as he returned to the East Palace, he immediately regained his spirits. It turned out that he was pretending to be drunk.

Zhao Xu also knew that there were a lot of wine jars, and he was definitely no match for them, so he had to use this trick.
