On the third day of August in the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, it is suitable for marriage and marriage.
Today is the wedding day of King Han Zhu Song, and although King Han's Mansion did not publicize it with much fanfare, it is the most prosperous place in Nanjing.
Early in the morning, before dawn, guests who had received wedding invitations came to congratulate them.
By the end of the Mao period, the gate of King Han's Mansion was already buzzing with people. Apart from the personal guards who were in charge of protecting the safety of the palace, there were also those people in Nanjing who watched the excitement.
Of course, these onlookers also wanted to eat. Those vendors of street food and snacks, carrying a pole, set up stalls selling food in a land of forty or fifty feet outside the gate of the palace.
The royal guards don't bother to care about these guys, as long as they don't disturb His Highness Han's marriage, who will care what they do?
Compared with the relatives and friends who came to congratulate, as well as the onlookers, there is another person who got up very early, and that is the protagonist Zhu Song this time, who was picked up by Yingxiang directly from the bed just after midnight .
This guy has never gotten up so early since he came to the Ming Dynasty, except when he was fighting outside.
No, why did he wake up so early? It was obvious that he hadn't slept all night, but Zhu Song was sleepy to death.
"You little girl, why did you ask me to wake up so early?" Zhu Song looked at Yingxiang sleepily, glanced at her hand, and said, "It's still early, let me sleep again!"
"My lord, you still have to wash and dress up." Yingxiang tugged on Zhu Song's sleeve, trying to pull him up.
But Zhu Song's strength, how can a little girl compare to it?The little girl was almost dragged onto the bed by Zhu Song.
"What are you talking about?" Zhu Song muttered, "What's so good about washing and dressing up, old man?"
"My lord, is it possible that you want to marry Mrs. Lin in a dirty way?" Yingxiang was not willing to give up, this time she directly grabbed Zhu Song's leg and half pulled him out of the bed.
Zhu Song had no choice this time, he could only sit up in a daze, and said, "Okay, okay, I really can't stand you."
Chapter 4 Nineteen
"My lord, don't move around!" Yingxiang, who waited on Zhu Song to put on the white lining, pressed Zhu Song in front of a huge bronze mirror, and shouted to the outside: "You guys are all carrying things. come in."
"Hey, Yingxiang, who's your name?" Zhu Song asked a little strangely, and at the same time turned his head to look at the door.
With a soft "squeak" sound, several pretty women pushed the door in, and each of them was holding a small delicate box in their hands. Those small boxes were antique, and they couldn't see what was inside. something.
"I said who are you all?" Zhu Song looked at these Yingyingyanyans, and couldn't understand what was going on.
"The daughter of the people has met His Highness the King of Han!" Qun Qun Yingying Yanyan entered the room and bowed to Zhu Song.
Zhu Song ignored the group of women, but tilted his head to look at Yingxiang, and said, "Little girl, tell me."
"My lord, these sisters are all here to wash, dress, burn incense and change clothes for you." Yingxiang replied honestly.
"Need to use so many people?" Zhu Song's eyes widened. There were seven or eight of these women. They were just putting on light makeup and changing clothes. As for so many people?
"I want it, I want it!" Yingxiang said with great concern: "My lord, just sit down and leave the rest to us. I promise you to welcome the bride in a beautiful way!"
Your sister, did this old man say that he is beautiful?That's handsome, handsome!What a pit!
But Zhu Song had no choice but to sit quietly in front of the bronze mirror and let the group of pretty women surround him with makeup and makeup. If there was any jelly or something, most of them would greet Zhu Song.
A group of women were busy for an hour and a half. When Zhu Song was drowsy and was about to fall asleep again, he suddenly glanced at the bronze mirror and woke up instantly.
"Me, shit! What's going on here?" Zhu Song swore, since he was a child... no, it's the past two lifetimes, and he never thought that when he could walk the "Japanese and Korean style", the little boy's face was really girlish. ah!
Seeing a woman holding a piece of red paper in her hand and about to smear it on her lips, Zhu Song quickly stopped: "Hey, I said that you are almost done, the elders just put on paint, and put on a pair of red lips. How decent is Cheng? That's it, come and change clothes for this king!"
Zhu Song played a rogue, let you group of women squat their heads for a long time, and put on your clothes quickly.
My master gave orders, and these women dared not make mistakes, and obediently helped Zhu Song change his clothes.
Zhu Song thought that putting on a wedding dress would be enough, but when he saw the wedding dress, he almost cried. From the innermost lining to the coat to the outermost cloak, each piece became more and more complicated.
At the end, Zhu Song couldn't bear it any longer, so he gave up all his clothes, not even the inner lining and the cloak. According to him, this isn't the twelfth lunar month of autumn and winter, so it's too hot to die after wearing so much?
Just like that, Zhu Song, who was wearing a bright red dress, led the team to pick up the bride as soon as the stipulated time came, and rushed to the Song Mansion in Jiaxing Mansion after the dark.
When Zhu Song got married for the first time, because Han Wang's mansion and Wei Guogong's mansion were very close, there was no need to hurry this early in the morning, as long as he could come back before the auspicious time.
But this time it won't work, from Nanjing in Yingtian Mansion to Jiaxing City in Jiaxing Mansion, although it takes two quarters of an hour to arrive, but that is under the condition of rushing, and the team welcoming the bride is now cleared by someone and a team of musicians Yes, blowing, blowing and beating along the way, the light journey, I am afraid it will take more than an hour to go back and forth.
There were about [-] people in the welcoming team, the pioneers were at the front, followed by the band of musicians, followed by Zhu Song and his best man, Zhu Mengcan and Zhu Yuexiu, who also wore bright red wedding robes.
At the end of the line, Zhu Taihe, Zhu Xunxiu, and Xie Zhenqi and other younger guys happily sat in a big carriage, and kept looking at the surrounding people from the window of the carriage. The common people threw out candy and copper coins, and the onlookers stepped forward to grab them like crazy.
The children were scrambling for candies, while the older people were scrambling for the copper coins.
The actions of Zhu Tai and them reminded Zhu Song of his previous life, when his relatives and friends got married, they would cast iron on every bridge, and they would drop some small red envelopes whenever they passed the crossroads.
In his previous life, as a celibate, there was never a shortage of women by his side. Zhu Song thought that these things would never happen to him in his life. It's really interesting to think about it now.
……
It took about a quarter of an hour longer than the estimated time for those who were blowing and swaggering on the way, and finally arrived at the Song Mansion in the north of Jiaxing City.
The welcoming team of Prince Han's Mansion had just appeared at the intersection leading to the Song Mansion in the north of the city, and the firecrackers that had been set up in the character '囍' by the servants of the Song Mansion had already been ignited immediately.
The crackling sound ignited the entire atmosphere in the north of Jiaxing City.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Mengcan laughed: "It seems that the Song family is well prepared this time!"
Zhu Yuexiu glared at Zhu Mengcan, and said, "You know what a fart! Don't think that Uncle Songhuang is married for the second time..."
Riding on the horse, Zhu Song, who was right next to Zhu Yuexiu, stretched out his hand to Zhu Yuexiu, and said, "You brat, what are you talking about? Why did you get married again? Could it be that Shucheng's second kiss is a second marriage?"
"Hey, did you hear that!" Zhu Mengcan laughed, "Uncle Song Huang is called the second marriage!"
"Okay, okay, don't be poor, you two little guys." Zhu Song put his legs on the horse's belly and said, "Go ahead, the Song family has come out, if you are poor, we can't be on time Back to Nanjing."
……
Around the Song Mansion, there were also many people who came to watch the excitement and vendors selling snacks.
Originally, with the ability of the Song Mansion, they just sent some servants to look at the gate. After all, all the servants in the Song Mansion were busy with the affairs of the mansion, and there were not many servants to maintain the order outside the mansion.
Fortunately, Li Zhang of the Qianhu Office of the Jiaxing Wei Qianhu Office, and Sun Honglei, the prefect of Jiaxing, knew about it, and sent soldiers from the Weizhong and government servants to the north of the city early to maintain law and order in the north of the city.
In front of the gate of the Song Mansion, no one blocked the welcoming procession. On the contrary, a few of his own little fellows actually blocked the gate, saying that Zhu Mengcan, Zhu Yuexiu, the two best men, and the groom Zhu Song would not be allowed to enter the mansion.
"Hey, you little fellows, you didn't make a fuss when you were in our house, why are you making a fuss in Song's house?" Zhu Mengcan looked at Xie Zhenqi, Zhu Tai and their younger brothers, and said: " Hurry up and stop making trouble, brother, I will buy candied haws for you to eat later."
"Brother Can, are you bullying us because we are young?" Zhu Xunxiu said with his arms crossed, "We can buy candied haws by ourselves. We only need red envelopes now, and the red envelopes have to be given by my aunt."
Hey, these little bastards have come to ask for money.
When people get married, it's always the woman who blocks the door and asks the man to pay for money and give red envelopes.
