Chapter 489: Extravagant
Qin Hu was sitting in a grand carriage. In front of him was Princess Chang'an's red wedding sedan carried by thirty-six people. The sedan was ten meters wide and ten meters long. It had a pure gold roof.
There are red peonies engraved on it. The entire sedan body is made of mahogany and wrapped in red Sichuan brocade. Silk flowers as big as a bowl hang down from the top of the sedan to the ground.
At the front of the team, a general with a white face and beardless appearance but a lion's nose and a wide mouth opened the way. This man was Xu Shanxi. Including the Yulin Army and Qianniu Guard beside him, they all had foot-long red helmets and spears on their heads, and on their bodies
Dressed in red and colorful clothes, with colored silk around their waists, some rode on horseback to protect them, while others followed on foot with sabers hanging on them.
All civil and military ministers were dispatched, wearing official robes underneath and bright red robes outside, and even their hats were stretched with a circle of red silk. The atmosphere was extremely festive.
The entire welcoming procession spanned thirty miles, stretching from the west gate of the county to the east gate, occupying the entire long street. The Yulin Army and Qianniu Guards alone totaled 5,000 people, and all the bridges, railings, and trees that passed along the way were
They were all wrapped in silk. Every ten steps from the palace gate, two beautiful palace maids stood opposite each other.
Yuwen Wenji also stipulated that all houses on the long street must hang red lanterns under the eaves at the entrance. Women and men should wear red silk and go out to watch the ceremony. Anyone who violates the order will be punished by the nine tribes. This order has been issued for half a month.
This can be regarded as giving the people ample time to prepare.
Some people had no money at home, so they took off their quilts, wrapped them around themselves indiscriminately, and stood under the eaves of their homes, watching this unprecedented grand wedding with frowns and sighs.
Yu Wenhuaji and Xu Shanyi were separated by four rows of Yulin Army soldiers, sitting high on horseback. They turned to ask Yu Wenzhiji and Yu Wenshiji, and said, "How is it? How is my performance this time compared to that of Yang Shou?"
Ah? I said, there is no way we can let that foolish king compete with us, otherwise the princes will laugh at us."
Yuwen Zhiji quickly flattered him, but the anger in Yuwenshiji's heart was boiling like boiling water. The people were miserable and had to change their food for food. The soldiers were prescribed two liters of rice per day, but now they only have half a liter per day. It would be a matter of time before they ran out of food.
He was supposed to use these silks and cloths to exchange food with Qin Hu, but he refused and wanted to marry Qin Hu's wife. Isn't this a mental illness?
"Brother Emperor, it's time for the wedding procession to set off. Let's circle the city once and then return to the palace. In front of us will be fifty carriages performing talents. The singing and dancing are grand and the scene is majestic, especially for Yingchun. She dances and sprinkles
The flowers, gold and silver will surely amaze the princes."
After hearing Yuwen Zhiji's words, Yuwen Wenhua's eyes almost burst into laughter, but suddenly he said with a straight face: "Why are you throwing away gold and silver? Wouldn't I suffer a lot?"
"Hehe." Yuwen Zhiji quickly apologized and said, "Brother, how stupid am I? Although we have a lot of gold, silver, silk, beauties and many people, there is no reason why we should give poor people free money. If we throw it out and then pick it up again, who will
If he dares to rob him, he will be executed immediately, what do you think?"
"Hey, that's not bad. We also need to let the princes know that my wealth, Yu Wenji's, is firmly the best in the world." This is a true statement. Yu Wenhuaji inherited Yang Shou's wealth, and Li Mi inherited the Yu Dynasty.
The granary, Qin Hu captured the capital of the Yu Dynasty, which is recognized by the world.
Yuwen Shiji was too lazy to get angry with these two idiots. When the team started to move forward, he quietly fell behind a little and came to Yuwen Chengdu.
"Chengdu, do you think your father is doing this, right?"
Yuwen Chengdu was also clad in red, with strings of big red flowers hanging from his head. His boots and armor were all red, and even his gold-plated phoenix wings were wrapped in silk. He did not dare to talk to Yuwen Shi
Even if there is a complete heart-to-heart relationship, whoever says the wrong thing these days will end up with his head on the ground.
"Third uncle, I don't know anything else. I just feel like I can't fight now. I'm so entangled that I can't breathe."
Yuwen Shiji snorted coldly and stopped talking.
The team walked very slowly. They walked ten miles for an hour. If this continued, they would not be able to complete the ceremony in a whole day. The ministers of civil and military affairs and the soldiers were so tired that their backs ached. At this moment, a horn sounded and came from the front.
With the sound of the chimes, the song and dance performance officially began, and the traffic jam became more serious.
Yu Yingchun sang and danced and scattered flowers all the way. People in the Yu Dynasty loved peonies, so peonies have always been noble and valuable. What she scattered were all world-famous flower seeds. This handful cost dozens of taels of silver. She didn't know what she was going to scatter today.
After spending so much money, my heart aches.
At the beginning, she was very scared, even more scared than yesterday, because King Yan's plan was an extremely exciting one. If he didn't do it well, he would be chopped into pieces. I have to say that this His Highness, King Yan, really looked like himself.
As he said, he is a crazy adventurer.
But later, as the singing and dancing got better, she suddenly felt no longer afraid. Yes, it would be a wonderful thing if she could die in her favorite dance. If it was like what was performed on the stage, before she died
Being hugged tightly by His Highness King Yan is not only wonderful but also romantic.
Thinking of this, her waist danced even more, and she completed difficult movements one after another amidst the sound of music and the rolling wheels.
She danced tirelessly and mentally numbly, dragging several feet of red silk on her body, as if balls of flames were shooting out and returning to her body.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a crisp clang, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and Qin Hu’s strings were broken!
"Do it!"
At this time, it was the peak of music and dancing. The convoy drove to the downtown area of South Gate. The crowd, including the palace maids, eunuchs, officials, Yulin Army and Qianniu Guards, all gathered at the corner, forming a large-scale traffic jam. Xu Shanxi originally planned to divert it.
Traffic, but he suddenly discovered that the axle of the car in which Courtesan Yu Yingchun was sitting was broken.
This was terrible. He quickly got out of the car and ordered the guards to take measures. He planned to move the car to another place to allow the convoy behind to pass.
But at this moment, bursts of shouts of death suddenly erupted from the crowd. Fireworks were everywhere in the welcoming team, and explosions were heard one after another. Although the explosions could not be said to shake the earth, the large firecrackers also scared everyone.
As the dog jumped, some people hated Yu Wenji so much that they began to take the opportunity to attack the wedding team. Many guards were beaten to death, and the palace maids were dragged to a deserted place and hugged by force. They were even kidnapped and hid in their homes.
There is no place without chaos and fireworks in the thirty-mile journey to the bride's wedding.
Yu Yingchun was like a ball of blazing flames, swooping into Qin Hu's arms, gasping for air, holding Qin Hu's mouth and kissing her crazily: "I wish to live and die with the king."
