Chapter 9: Bringing the knot

"It is very elegant and much better than before!" As soon as I entered the Qiandian, Qing'e exclaimed in surprise.

In order to fight against the Crescent Sect, Chen Wanrong burned the hidden residence with a torch. Ruizong agreed to rebuild it. It was not until today. Li Longji understood the will of Ruizong and came down with the will. He asked Chen Wanrong to come and have a look. If he is dissatisfied, he can repair it again.

The current nanny residence is more compact and wider than the previous ones. Anyway, there are many houses, and there are no one living in it, so it seems empty, just enough to live in it.

What's even more rare is that the building level is not inferior to before, and there are many carvings and hollowings.

What satisfied Chen Wanrong the most was that the houses in the secret residence were now smaller and the land occupied was reduced accordingly. The remaining open space was actually turned into a flower garden. With this flower garden, Chen Wanrong could plant more flowers and make more perfumes.

"Are you satisfied?" Zheng Qing leaned on Chen Wanrong's shoulder and looked at Qiandi.

"If you are satisfied, I will be satisfied!" Chen Wanrong replied in this way.

Qing'e muttered: "It's the same as if I didn't say it!"

Zheng Qing heard the affection in Chen Wanrong's words, which meant that everything was listened to by Zheng Qing. She couldn't help but feel very happy and smiled sweetly at Chen Wanrong: "I'm very satisfied."

"Wanrong, you are really amazing! The emperor has rebuilt for you, okay!" Chen Laoshi's eyes were only a small gap left.

"Then it goes without saying that this is Wanrong. If it were you, you would never dare to think about it in your dreams." Chen Wangshi said nice things to Chen Wanrong as always.

Chen Wanrong hugged Zheng Qing's shoulders and smiled and said, "Now, the house has been repaired, I should move back. Also, we should do our business. I originally thought it was done at your house, but now it seems that there is no need, so I should do it at my house."

Zheng Zhou angrily said, "Wanrong, you are so, you are so kind. Isn't ours yours?"

Zheng Zhou had nothing to say about Chen Wanrong's son-in-law. He was so arrogant and capable!

Zheng Jianqiu also agreed to get the wedding done early and said with a smile: "Wanrong, it's time to do it. Now, the secret residence has been rebuilt, so hurry up. Three days later, it will be a zodiac day, what do you think?"

"What auspicious day or not? But, my father-in-law said so, so that's it." Chen Wanrong nodded in agreement.

Zheng Zhou was a little hesitant: "But three days, isn't it a bit tight? Wanrong is also a general of the court and has made great contributions to the court. The marriage must be more grand. Three days, aren't it easy to prepare?"

As she thought, Chen Wanrong's capable son-in-law got married, so he naturally had to hold a big deal.

Chen Wanrong explained: "Mother-in-law, there is no need to do it in big business. The emperor has already said that he hopes to start with me, promote frugality, suppress luxury, prepare some wine, and make a little preparation."

"It's good, it's just a big loss to you." Zheng Zhou said, but his eyes were looking at Zheng Qing. She meant that it was a loss to Zheng Qing. She had just such a daughter, and she wanted to have a big fight.

Zheng Qing knew her thoughts: "Mom, don't worry about me. The emperor came here in person, this is better than any gift."

"You are the great mediators of the emperor, and I forgot this festival!" Zheng Zhou thought of being the great mediator when Li Longji was the prince, which was very honored. Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, who did Li Longji become a mediator for? Apart from Chen Wanrong, there is no other one, which is an extremely glorious thing in itself.

Besides, Li Longji has already said this marriage, and he will come to congratulate him. Is there any need to say about this glory? He smiled so hard that there was only a small gap left in his eyes.

Zheng Jianqiu pondered for a moment and said, "Wanrong, don't worry, you can go there. We will do these things. We will be ready for the bus and transfer seats."

Chen Wanrong disagreed: "Father-in-law, you don't need to have a snatch. The snatch is too luxurious. If you use it, it will go against the emperor's will."

Barrier cars were wedding utensils that were popular in the upper class in the early Tang Dynasty. They were very luxurious and popular. They were only banned after Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ascended the throne. If Chen Wanrong also used a barrier cars, they would not have taken the lead.

Zheng Qing understood Chen Wanrong very well and said, "Dad, I don't want luxurious things. Make a green house and prepare for it a little. As long as he treats me well, my daughter doesn't care about these rituals."

Chen Wanrong’s kindness to Zheng Qing is obvious to all. Zheng Jianqiu thought for a while and said, “Girl, it’s too hard for you. The family is not short of this little money!”

Zheng Qing suffered a lot when she was a child, and he had already thought about it. When Zheng Qing got married, she had to do it well, so that she could not afford Zheng Qing. Unexpectedly, she had been preparing for her many years but couldn't use it, and she couldn't help but feel very sorry.

"Dad, my daughter understands your feelings. As long as you are with him, my daughter will be satisfied." Zheng Qing happily leaned her head on Chen Wanrong's shoulder, and Chen Wanrong tightly placed her shoulder.

This matter was decided. Chen Wanrong didn't need to worry about the marriage and family arrangements. Zheng Qing, Qing'e and Zheng Jianqiu were the ones who took the initiative. Although Chen Laoshi couldn't help, Chen Wangshi was still clever and busy, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.

In a blink of an eye, three days passed, and it was a good day for Chen Wanrong to get married.

Getting married is a major event in life. A person can only have one in his life. If there are two or more, it is a failure!

Chen Wanrong was very happy and got up very early. As soon as he got up, Chen Zairong came in with a wash water and smiled and said, "Brother, I will wash you today, won't you be unhappy, right?"

In the past, Zheng Qing did this. Today, if you want to get married, Zheng Qing naturally cannot stay in the secret residence and wait for the time to get married. Chen Zairong is joking.

"It's a good thing if I don't have to do it." Chen Wanrong began to wash up.

Chen Zairong teased and said, "Brother, you got up too early, right? It's certainly a pleasure to get married, but it's not allowed to do so!"

"Where am I?" Chen Wanrong asked back.

Chen Zairong then joked: "Brother, it's useless to get up early, you have to wait until it gets dark. If you get married, you will be dull and you won't get married until it gets dark."

Modern marriage time is usually noon, and the Tang Dynasty's marriage time is at night, and it will not get married until night. After receiving the reminder from Chen Zairong, Chen Wanrong remembered the differences in etiquette in ancient and modern times, and couldn't help but feel very emotional.

After washing up, I just had breakfast. Wu Daozi and Wang Han came. Is it worth mentioning that their friendship with Chen Wanrong? Of course, I have to come early to accompany me.

Not long after they arrived, Sima Chengzhen and his disciples also came. Since joining the Military Arts Supervisor, Sima Chengzhen has another residence. However, Sima Chengzhen and Chen Wanrong have a close relationship. When Chen Wanrong gets married, he will come early.

Not long after, Ye Tianheng came with a cane and smiled from afar and kept shouting. As soon as he met, he was hugging another bear, and he kept patting Chen Wanrong on his shoulder.

Relatives and friends arrived one after another, and Liu Huaide, Kou Yibing, monks and his party, Liang Lingzan, Liu Fuqing, Wang Zhongsi, Wang Shaohua and Yang Sixu came together.

After congratulations, there were groups of three or five, chatting in groups. At noon, there were only a dozen of the best relatives and friends coming to congratulate. After noon, there were more people coming to congratulate. The good craftsmen of the military weapon supervisor and ministers in the court arrived in groups. Before dark, there were crowds of people in the residence, and there were no less than a thousand people coming to congratulate.

Chen Wanrongguang took the boss' time to accept the congratulations from the guests. When he settled down, he was exhausted. Just after he had breathed, Chen Zairong came: "Brother, it's time to go to welcome the bride."

At this moment, Chen Wanrong couldn't help but feel energetic and stood up suddenly and said, "Go!" With a wave of his right hand, he strode out as if commanding thousands of troops to rush.

Jumping on the blue and white houses, Chen Zairong, Wang Shaohua, Wang Zhongsi, Wu Daozi, Wang Han and others followed him on the horse, followed Chen Wanrong out of the Qian Mansion, and took his people to run to Zheng Mansion.

I rushed to Zheng Mansion in one breath and saw the Zheng Mansion decorated with lights and a festive atmosphere.

"The new official is here!" As soon as Chen Wanrong and his party arrived at the door, the emcee roared at the top of their throats.

"The bride urged me to come out!" Chen Zairong and the others raised their throats and kept shouting, which was considered as an answer.

There was a whole set of etiquette for getting married in the Tang Dynasty. At dusk, the bride had to dress up. The wedding team would shout "The bride urged her to come out" or the groom recited poems, which was called "urged to make up".

"The bride urged me to come out!" Chen Zairong and the others kept yelling, and drove the fragrant car into Zheng's mansion.

Zheng Jianqiu smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth: "Wanrong, you are here! OK! OK! You have to wait a while, the girl is changing her makeup!"

"I've met my father-in-law!" Chen Wanrong greeted him.

"Wanrong, I'm fine, I'm fine!" Zheng Jianqiu said intimately, but he was blocked in the middle of the road and had no intention of letting go. He was a knowledgeable person who knew books and politely, so it was too rude to do this. Why was he?

Chen Wanrong couldn't help but be shocked. Zheng Jianqiu smiled very kindly, but said, "Wanrong, you have entered the door, where is your poem? If you don't recite the poem, your father-in-law can't let you in."

"Poetry?" Although Chen Wanrong told him a lot of etiquette, he was still very surprised. At this moment, his right hand tightened and a ball of things was stuffed in. After a look, he saw Wang Han winking at him.

When I opened the things in my right hand, I saw that it was a piece of hard yellow paper with a poem written on it, which was Wang Han's handwriting. I immediately realized that Wang Han had already written a poem for him, and I couldn't help but be very happy. I recited: "The cypress is a cypress in the South Mountain. Is it the bin in the future. The bin is there for a long time, and the woman is a temporary guest. Father-in-law, is that?"

"Good poems, good poems! Wanrong's poems are extraordinary, and my father-in-law has seen them. Please!" Is there something wrong with Zheng Jianqiu's eyes? It was clearly a poem by Wang Hansai to Chen Wanrong, but he only praised Chen Wanrong, not Wang Han.

"Thank you father-in-law!" Chen Wanrong then breathed a sigh of relief and followed Zheng Jianqiu into the road. As soon as he arrived at the middle gate, Zheng Jianqiu blocked the road again and said, "Wanrong, it's time for you to read the next poem."

"It's another poem? Why are there so many poems? No wonder the Tang Dynasty was called the country of poetry. Tang poetry is so famous, so that's it! If you get married a few times, idiots will become poets! Poetry immortals, poet saints probably came from this!" Chen Wanrong sighed in his heart that the use of this poem in the Tang Dynasty was really great.

After reading so many Tang poems, there is not a single one for getting married. This Tang poem is so intimidating.

"Father-in-law..." Chen Wanrong was just waiting for Ming to say that he was not prepared, and then he stuffed something into his right hand. When he opened it, he still had a poem or Wang Han's handwriting. He couldn't help but feel grateful: "With this poem Wang Han is here, it saves a lot of trouble. It takes so many poems to get married. If you don't understand literature, you won't get married? Oh my God, isn't this torture?"

While changing his mind, he recited on the paper: "Group of gold is used as the door door, polishing jade is used as the door knocker. Pulling the gold hook lock, pulling the red sandalwood gate!"

Zheng Jianqiu still praised him as always: "Good poetry, good poetry! Even Rong, your literary talent is so sophisticated, and my father-in-law is happy for you."

"I read the poem on paper, why didn't you see it? Are you dizzy? Now that there is glass, I have to give you a pair of glasses to avoid talking nonsense with your eyes open!" Chen Wanrong disagreed and said humbly: "My father-in-law has been awarded too much."

"Please!" Zheng Jianqiu made way.

One of the uses of urging makeup poems is that the bride keeps reading poems until it comes out.

"The bride urged me to come out!" Wang Shaohua and the others shouted in unison.

As soon as I passed the middle door, I saw Zheng Qing graceful and dressed up in a gorgeous manner. With the support of Qing'e, she came in a gentle manner. Compared to her usual style, she had a charm.

Chen Wanrong really wanted to go up and lift up the red veil and take a good look at Yiren. He quickly stepped up, held Zheng Qing's left arm and pinched it gently. Zheng Qing's left arm shook slightly, implying that he already knew it was Chen Wanrong.

"Please get in the car!" the emcee shouted.

With the support of Chen Wanrong and Qing'e, Zheng Qing came to the incense car, and according to etiquette, he circled around the incense car three times before getting on the car.

Chen Wanrong jumped to the shaft of the car and raised his voice: "Listen, bride, the new official is driving the car for you!"

Originally, this car was driven by Wang Shaohua, and Chen Wanrong had a temporary intention to drive the car for Zheng Qing. This was teasing, and Zheng Qing laughed out loud. Although Chen Wanrong did not see Yiren's beautiful face, he could imagine that Yiren must have smiled brilliantly, very happy, and very happy.

Amid the nagging of Zheng Jianqiu and his wife, Chen Wanrong whipped the whip, the cart started, and left Zheng Mansion.

A group of people surrounded the fragrant car and went straight to the residence. In a short while, there were a few felt mattresses in front of the gate, which was brilliant. Chen Wanrong stopped the car, flew out of the car, pushed open the car door, and Qing'e appeared at the door. Chen Wanrong held Zheng Qing without saying a word, hugged Zheng Qing, and gently pinched Zheng Qing's slender waist with his right hand. Zheng Qing's delicate body trembled, and twisted his right hand on Chen Wanrong, which was considered an answer.

Chen Wanrong put Zheng Qing on the felt mattress. With the support of Chen Wanrong and Qing'e, Zheng Qing moved his lotus step and walked past the first felt mattress. A maid hurried over, picked up the felt mattress behind and placed it in front.

According to the customs of the Tang Dynasty, when a bride enters her husband's house, her feet cannot touch the ground, so she needs to put some felt mattresses. The felt mattresses that the bride walks through should be placed in front of the person, and then they will be turned over again and again, which is called a "transfer".

There is a poem that says "The green clothes are passed on to the felt mattress, and the brocade is slanted", which means this.

There are only a few felt mattresses, after such a transfer, they paved a colorful road, meaning "transmitting the family line and a bright future."

After walking on the turn, there was a saddle in the middle of the gate. If someone put a saddle in the door in modern society, he would scold people to death. However, it was an indispensable etiquette in the Tang Dynasty. When the bride passed by, she could step over or sit for a while, which meant that life was safe and sound.

"Miss, the saddle is here, be careful." Qing'e whispered.

"I'll sit down!" Zheng Qing replied in a low voice.

When he arrived in front of the saddle, Zheng Qing sat on the saddle, with a graceful posture, like the goddess of Luohe. Thousands of people saw it and couldn't help but exclaim in unison.

Zheng Qing stood up, walked lightly and entered the Qian Mansion. Next, it was Qinglu Chapel. In modern society, marriage was held in the main house. The Tang Dynasty Chapel was not in the main house, but in Qinglu.
