Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 94 The Big Wedding

Anxiety did not stop the passage of time, time slipped away slowly with the click of the watch, neither fast nor slow, no matter whether you were there or not.

Jin Yu moved to the new mansion in Baicaotan early, lying on a bamboo chair, shaking a folding fan with one hand, the comfort on the outside deeply concealed the tension in his heart.Cicada flew over from nowhere, lying on a branch and shouting "It's so hot", which made Jinyu's mood a little more restless.Fortunately, the people in the horticultural team were very skilled. Under Yan Lide's guidance, the trees moved in the yard did not wither, and continued to exude vitality. A few pagoda trees even bloomed with pagoda flowers, and the sweet fragrance of flowers wafted through them. The tip of the nose makes people feel calm and peaceful.

Everything in the wedding was done according to the current customs, which really opened Jin Yu's eyes.During the daytime today, Jin Yu's mother-in-law came over with a betrothal gift. Qin Jia, who has always been low-key, put on a show, and seemed to have a name called "Shop Mother and Tong Tong".That means to show the strength of the natal family and prevent the daughter from being despised when she gets married.In the words of Qin Jiashi: Although the daughter-in-law Yang Ying is not a "five-surname girl", she cannot be wronged.But how did she know Yang Ying's identity?Compared with the "women with five surnames", they do not lose their reputation at all.

Jin Yu ate another bowl of shaved ice to drive away the irritability in his heart, but he was still a little restless. Maybe this is the so-called "premarital syndrome" in later generations.

Jin Yu lay on the bamboo chair in a daze, and carefully recalled Cheng Yaojin's explanation, it was nothing more than some procedures of welcoming the bride tomorrow, and let Jin Yu act according to the arrangements of the Cheng family's big housekeeper.

Jin Yu thought about it, he didn't sleep well all night, and he was confused all morning the next morning.In the afternoon, he was thinking about whether he should put on some powder to cover up his haggard complexion, so the housekeeper of the Cheng family arranged for someone to come and put on makeup for him.

At the beginning, Jin Yu felt that the butler was considerate and capable of doing things, but the makeup was only half done, and Jin Yu couldn't help it.How can this be a cover up?It's clearly powder!And it's not at 01:30, it's like throwing your face like a Japanese geisha who can go out to scare ghosts!

Jinyu has a hole in his ass, just thinking about not cooperating, Cheng Huaimo, who came to assist Jinyu in welcoming the bride, said: "Brother, bear with it, the younger brother greeted the bride in the same way, and you can take off your makeup when you come back at night."

After Jin Yu listened, he had no choice but to continue to be at his mercy. Finally, after putting on makeup, Jin Yu almost didn't have the courage to go out. His face was paler than Bai Wuchang's. With thick black eyebrows, he was only short of a red tongue. Dressed in red, he looked nondescript.With this makeup effect, Zhong Kui would be ashamed of himself. When he meets a ghost at night, he can scare the ghost to the ground.

After Cheng Huaimo watched it, he kept snickering beside him, as if he hadn't shamed others with such makeup.Finally, Jin Yu said silently in his heart: "No one knows me, no one knows me." After thirty or fifty times, Jin Yu finally got on his horse and embarked on the "journey" of welcoming his relatives.

While Jin Yu was putting on makeup, Yang Ying was also dressing up, but the process was more cumbersome than Jin Yu's. First of all, Qin Jiashi personally showed Yang Ying's face.The slender silk thread rolled up and down in Qin Jiashi's hands, and after a short while, Yang Ying's face was rubbed white and rosy, which was different from others.

Qin Jia put down the silk thread in her hand, and while putting makeup on Yang Ying, she asked: "Have you written down all the things that the godmother taught you? Marrying a woman, there will be no difference in the future."

Thinking of the booklet that the godmother released last night, Yang Ying's face was bloodshot, from forehead to neck, and the mosquito said, "Write it down, godmother."

"Just write it down, woman, there will always be such a thing, when you get into the sedan chair, the godmother will take the booklet with you, go back and study with my uncle, and try to let the old man report to his grandson as soon as possible." Qin Jia said with a pleasant face. Chatting with Yang Ying about her first marriage, while carefully putting on Yang Ying's makeup.But this status is really a fight with Jin Yu.It can be seen that the aesthetic concepts and tastes of people in the Tang Dynasty were heavy.

When Jin Yu and his party came to the gate of the Qin Mansion, they saw Qin Huaiyu leading a group of family members blocking the door and not letting them in, as if they would block the door for red envelopes in later generations.Butler Cheng was coming, and the red envelope was delivered very diligently. After receiving the red envelope, Qin Huaiyu had a smile on his face, but he didn't move away. He cupped his hands and said to Jin Yu: "Brother Tang, Huaiyu can't let you It is so easy to marry my sister, if you want to get through from here, you still have to show some sincerity."

When Jin Yu heard the change in Qin Huaiyu's address, he guessed that it might be a custom, so he got off his horse and returned the salute: "If you need any sincerity, please tell Huaiyu frankly."

"I heard that Brother Tang is a great talent, why don't you write a makeup reminder poem?" Qin Huaiyu stood in the crowd and winked at Cheng Huaimo and said.

"A makeup reminder poem?" It was the first time Jin Yu had heard of this name, and when he saw Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Huaimo winking, he understood that it turned out that these two brats were plotting against him.

Among the [-] poems of Tang and Song Dynasties, many of them are packed in Jin Yu's stomach, and there are also love poems among them, but most of them are sad and sad, which are not suitable for this festive occasion.Jin Yu was searching his stomach for poetry, and Qin Huaiyu spoke again: "Brother Tang, hurry up, if you wait like this, you will delay the wedding ceremony."

"Listen up." Jin Yu cleared his throat, ready to speak, since there are no suitable poems, then excerpt and pick up suitable ones. "Last night, the stars and the wind last night, the west bank of the painting building and the east of the gui hall. The body has no colorful phoenix and two wings, but the heart has a clear understanding."

"Brother Gui Tang's emotion is admirable, but this doesn't seem to be a makeup poem." Qin Huaiyu was stunned after hearing this, apparently stunned by Jin Yu's poem, but quickly reacted to find a loophole.

"I wish to be a lovebird in the sky, and Lian Lizhi in the earth." Jin Yu continued to express his determination.

"This doesn't look like a make-up poem, does it?" Qin Huaiyu shook his head and denied.

"The sycamore tree, the rain in the third watch, it's not the way to leave love, but it's suffering. One leaf, one sound, the empty steps drip to the light!" Those who express their determination can't do it, and they cry bitterly.

Qin Huaiyu was shocked again, it wasn't poetry, but it was very artistic, but he still shook his head resolutely in denial.

Jin Yu failed to plagiarize the three capitals, and was still thinking hard. The door of the Qin Mansion was opened a crack, and a servant came out. The lanterns were lit one by one.

"It's the last song. If you don't open the door, your sister will spank your ass." Looking at the servant's expression, Jin Yu knew that the people inside were worried that the time would run out, so he said confidently: "Dongfeng night puts flowers and thousands of trees, blowing even more!" Falling stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are fragrant all over the road. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night."

Jin Yu paused, and shouted towards the door: "Open the door!" Seeing the door open a crack, Jin Yu continued to chant poems: "Moth snow willow golden strands, laughter filled with dark fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times. Suddenly Looking back, that person is ``````"

"Where is it?" Qin Huaiyu was completely overwhelmed by Jin Yu, and was fascinated, but Jin Yu was silent, and asked tightly.

"That person is in a dimly lit place." Jin Yu pointed at Yang Ying who was being helped out.

Yang Ying, who was wearing a phoenix coronet, had already been waiting inside the gate. Considering Jinyu's cultural level (he couldn't even write calligraphy), it was Yang Ying who took the initiative to ask her godfather Qin Qiong to simplify the makeup poem procedure. Unexpectedly, Qin Huaiyu forced her husband to recite several masterpieces.Yang Ying's heart was already full of joy, not to mention Jin Yu's literary talent, but more importantly, the meaning expressed in the poem, which moved Yang Ying completely.It seems that love poetry is an invincible weapon for beautiful girls in any dynasty (except for the later dynasties, they all look at Qian! It is not uncommon for 28 to marry an 82 grandfather.)
This is not the place to talk, Yang Ying couldn't even see Jin Yu's affectionate eyes, and with the help of the maid, Yingying stepped into the wedding car.Qin Jiashi even held Yang Ying's slender hand to give advice, exhort and teach earnestly.Yang Ying also nodded with tears in the car, crying uncontrollably.

Jin Yu on the side was also accepting Qin Qiong's instructions, nodded frequently, and promised to treat Yang Ying well.Jin Yu could feel the sincerity in Qin Qiong's words, not just to give Yang Ying a decent status, but to really treat her as a daughter.

After reassuring, Jin Yu drove the car for another three weeks according to the rules. At this time, it was already dark, but the road ahead was not so easy to get through, because there was still a custom to go-"blocking cars".This is not as troublesome as before. Butler Cheng made money to open the way, and there was no disadvantage.

According to the rules, the groom has to go home first, and the bride and family members of the "accompanying relatives" will arrive later.Of course, Jin Yu was no exception. When he returned home, Mr. Cheng had been waiting for a long time.

"Is this house built with the cement you made?" Mr. Cheng's first sentence was not to ask how the wedding was going, but to ask Jin Yu seriously, pointing to the courtyard wall.

"It's exactly what Uncle Cheng said." Jin Yu was a little confused, didn't Yan Lide offer this idea to the court long ago?Is there any taboo?
"You kid is lucky, you can make cement out of all your messing around." Cheng Yaojin said with emotion.Yan Lide could not see the application of cement in military affairs, but Cheng Yaojin could not fail to see why Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall?Why is there a tug-of-war among different races in history?To put it bluntly, there is no base, no fortress where troops can be stationed!Want to build a new city to defend against aliens?Can!But the cost is too high, which is why those who are as strong as Qin Shihuang can only connect the existing Great Wall without building a new city.But now with cement, everything is different. The establishment of a city has become much easier and faster.This is why Cheng Yaojin said that Jinyu was lucky, and this credit is even greater than capturing Booger Khan and An Tujue alive!

"Don't be dumb, the guests have already arrived, go in and greet them first." Cheng Yaojin walked in front and led Jin Yu into the mansion.
