Chapter two hundred and eighty second wedding
On Taiping Street, Li Jie was riding on the horse in a red wedding uniform. In front of him, there were gongs and drums, and various ceremonies were opening the way. Behind him was a long welcome team. Liu Yi, Xie Jin, Guo Zhenglin and others also rode behind Li Jie on horseback. As the groom's relatives and friends, they still had the important task to do so later.
The royal family's marriage to a daughter naturally attracted countless people to watch. The new team also prepared several large baskets of copper coins. When they encountered crowded places, they would spread money, which attracted many children to chase them from the west to the east of the city, in order to grab a few more copper coins.
Li Jie hated this kind of money-spending behavior, but he had no choice, because except for the group of relatives and friends around him, most of the other teams of the entire new year were prepared by the royal family, so he couldn't control these people.
After finally reaching the gate of the imperial city, Li Jie thought it would be over. As soon as he entered the imperial city, a group of eunuchs and palace maids immediately surrounded him and set up various problems to test the new team.
After finally passing these tests, the welcome team finally arrived at Chunhe Palace. However, as soon as Chunhe Palace entered, a group of women rushed over with sticks and followed Li Jie and others to hug them. Although the sticks were tied with thick cotton cloth, it still hurts to hit people.
At this time, Liu Yi and others played a role. They wanted to protect the groom Li Jie, the groom, and rushed out of the siege of the group of women. This was actually the legendary threat. It was mainly to teach the groom a lesson and let him know that the woman's family was not easy to mess with, so that he would not bully the bride in the future.
Li Jie had expected this to happen before, so he deliberately wore thick clothes on his body. Liu Yi and others around him tried their best to cover him up, but even so, he was still hit by a few sticks, and finally finally broke out of the encirclement of these women.
After passing this level, it was much easier. At most, the eunuchs and palace maids in Chunhe Palace came to ask for red envelopes. Because Li Jie often came to Chunhe Palace before, and most of the eunuchs and palace maids here knew each other, so these people laughed and left after taking the red envelopes, and they would not make things too difficult for him.
Finally, he finally came to the outside of the palace where Zhu Yuning lived, and then Li Jie would read the poem to urge makeup loudly. Liu Yi and others behind him also followed him to urge the bride to go out quickly.
In fact, the whole wedding process is similar to that of ordinary families, but the royal marriage is a royal marriage, so some places will be different. For example, the welcome teams will all dismount after entering the imperial city, and they will also enter and exit according to a fixed route after entering the palace.
When Li Jie kept memorizing ten makeup poems, he saw Zhu Yunyu walking out with Zhu Yuning in a wedding dress. However, Zhu Yuning was covered with a veil, which made people unable to see the bride's appearance. As her brother, Zhu Yunyu needed to personally support her sister to get on the carriage where she got married.
Although Zhu Yunxiu had already prepared her sister for marriage, when she sent her sister to the car, he couldn't help but turn red in his eyes. Finally, he even whispered to Li Jie: "Take good care of my sister!"
Li Nobuo head and patted his shoulder. In fact, he also understood Zhu Yunxi's current mood. For example, if Di'er wants to get married, he may be as reluctant as Zhu Yunxi.
After receiving the bride, the next real test came. The etiquette training received by Li Jie and Zhu Yuning came in handy. They needed to kneel down at the ancestral temple first, and then to worship Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao respectively. This part is also the difference between the royal wedding and other families.
Although Li Jie had already done etiquette training, he was so tired that he was about to fall down after this whole set. At the same time, he felt even more distressed by Zhu Yuning, because Zhu Yuning not only wore heavy and complicated wedding clothes, but also wore a heavy phoenix crown and robe on his head, and even his face was covered. It was like wearing a mask and carrying dozens of kilograms of weight, and he had to run ten kilometers. He couldn't hold on without some physical strength.
But there was no way, the royal rules were like this, so Li Jie and Zhu Yuning could only grit their teeth and persevere. Finally, they finally bid farewell to Zhu Biao and got on the carriage. Li Jie was relieved. At this time, Zhu Yunyu led the bride-seeking team to leave the palace with them, and then came to the princess's mansion along the way.
Li Zhu and his wife and all the guests had already arrived at the princess's house. Although Zhu Yuning was a princess and would not live with her in-laws after marriage, she still had to respect her in-laws at the wedding.
However, what surprised everyone was that when Li Jie and his wedding team came back, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao came from the palace to the princess's mansion. It was said that they did not need to come forward for the next wedding, but they still came, which shocked many people and secretly envied, because it was enough to show the importance of Lao Zhu and his son to Li Jie.
After the auspicious time came, under the auspices of Yibin, the groom's mother greeted her three times. Under the witness of the guests, Li Jie and Zhu Yuning finally officially became husband and wife.
Zhu Biao, who was standing behind Lao Zhu, watched his daughter get married, and his nose was a little sore. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard some strange noises beside him. As a result, when he turned his head, he found that Zhu Yunqi was wiping his tears secretly, which made him sigh, turned around and patted his son's back to show comfort.
After worshiping the world, Zhu Yuning was completely liberated and was immediately sent back to the bridal chamber by the palace maids to rest, but Li Jie could only wash up briefly, then put on his regular clothes and went to the front hall to receive the guests.
Today is the day of the wedding, and all the guests are attending a banquet at the princess's house. However, tomorrow Li Zhu and his wife will hold a banquet at home to entertain their relatives and friends on Li Jie. Some families who like to show off their wealth will even last for many days.
Li Jie followed his parents and toasted the guests one by one. Originally, the groom would definitely be forced to toast during this session, but today Lao Zhu was here, and no one dared to make things difficult for Li Jie. Li Jie also thanked Lao Zhu for this. After all, he had a poor alcohol tolerance. If he was drunk, how could he have a bridal chamber at night?
The wedding banquet lasted from noon to midnight, and most of the guests were drunk. Even Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao drank a few more drinks. Zhu Yunxi was allowed to drink for the first time, but she was drunk and eventually vomited herself. Neither Lao Zhu nor Zhu Biao blamed him for this.
After a while, Li Jie did not stop at the banquet, but came directly to the bridal chamber. However, what he didn't expect was that Hu Yingyu actually took a few palace maids outside the bridal chamber. When he saw him coming, his face turned red. He immediately went forward to salute and then personally led him into the bridal chamber.
Li Jie was also a little embarrassed, but when he thought of Zhu Yuning in the bridal chamber, he also calmed down and then stepped into the bridal chamber.
The red candle in the bridal chamber had been lit. A woman in wedding clothes sat on the edge of the bed, with a veil covering her head making people unable to see clearly, but her two tightly clasped hands still exposed the tension in her heart.
Li Jie was actually a little nervous, but when he saw Zhu Yuning's nervous appearance, he relaxed. After all, they were different from ordinary newcomers. Because they had already known each other before marriage, they didn't have to worry about whether the other party was a human or a ghost. As for what happened next, Li Jie didn't have to worry about it.
Thinking of this, Li Jie stepped forward and saw him stretching out his hands and gently lifting the veil. Zhu Yuning, under the veil, blushed with his face, and his eyes were lowered and he dared not look at Li Jie.
"Madam!" Li Jie shouted softly, which also made Zhu Yuning's body tremble. Although it was just a change in name, it had a different meaning to her.
However, when Zhu Yuning raised her head, her face suddenly changed. She immediately reached out and hit Li Jie with a "splash" and said angrily: "How do you use your hands?"
"Uh? What should I use without my hands?" Li Jie asked in a daze.
"Aren't that ready!" Zhu Yuning reached out and pointed to the table next to him.
Li Jie turned his head and found that there was a jade Ruyi in the tray on the table. This made him suddenly remember. According to the rules, the bride's veil cannot be lifted with her hands, but instead uses tools. Most people use scale rods, but in order to show their identity, wealthy families use jade Ruyi to pick up the veil.
"Yunning, we have been tossed by this red tape for a day. Now there are only two of us, so don't care about these things, right?" Li Jie cried repeatedly. Zhu Yuning had a rest for a while, but he toasted and greeted guests outside, and he couldn't relax for a moment. Now he doubted whether he still had the energy to complete the next Zhou Gong ceremony.
"That's not possible. I can ignore other etiquettes, but the etiquette in the bridal chamber must be done well. Let's do it again!" Zhu Yuning said and then covered the veil again.
Li Jie had no choice but to reach out and grab Yu Ruyi on the table, and then gently lifted the veil. As a result, Zhu Yuning, who was still a little angry just now, actually looked shy at this time, as if it was the first time he saw Li Jie, and he was simply a drama actress.
"Madam, it's getting late, we..."
At this time, Li Jie also smiled and approached Zhu Yuning, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, then walked to the table and picked up the wine pot and poured two glasses of wine.
This time, Li Jie immediately understood and immediately picked up the wine glass. The two wine glasses were made of wooden. Then they drank them together, and then threw the wine glass under the bed together. This is called the wine glass, also called the Heilongjiang wine. After drinking the wine, the newcomer threw the wine glass underground. If one is positive and the other is reversed, it means that the man bows down and the woman is leaning down, the sky is over the earth, and the yin and yang are harmonious.
As a result, two wine glasses rolled on the ground a few times, just right and wrong, which made Zhu Yuning happy. Li Jie immediately stepped forward again, holding Zhu Yuning's shoulders and said again: "Madam, it's getting late..."
"Wait a minute!" Before Li Jie finished speaking, Zhu Yuning suddenly reached out to pick up a pair of scissors from the side. Li Jie was also shocked. Although he was a little anxious, he didn't have to move the scissors, right?
