imprinted you in my heart

Although tomorrow and the next two days will be holidays, in fact, Du Xungui and the officials basically have errands, and it is impossible to really rest, and the local Xungui and officials also need to set up incense cases at an auspicious time tomorrow. Fandu saluted. Those who were sent to Fandu before were either their own children or close relatives.

Because anyone who enters the capital to give gifts on behalf of the official himself, as long as the relatives of the fourth rank and above official positions, the emperor will have certain rewards, the rewards are not many, and the reputation is more than practical, but at least he can show his face in front of the emperor, and he can Meet the market.

Therefore, all officials of the fourth rank and above will send their adult children to the capital with gifts, and those who have no children or have young children will send younger brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews who are close to each other.

And those below the fourth rank will send their cronies, servants, or invite their superiors to have a meal and entrust their superiors to bring gifts, etc., because the emperor will not deliberately summon the gift-giver below the fourth rank, and the gifts only need to be sent to the Ministry of Rites and registered. Can.

There are gifts, but the lower the official rank, the less gifts you get. The least gift may only be a small gift box. Happy candy and a few pieces of happy money.

In fact, as early as the beginning of this year, local dignitaries and officials began to request to enter the capital to observe the ceremony, but they were all rejected by Shi Min. First, she had seen most of the important officials who had just entered the capital last year to report their duties; second, it was too much trouble to go back and forth Over time, a large number of officials will enter the capital, which will also cause emptiness in the place, which is not conducive to stability.

For some of the old ministers who have returned home, Shi Mian was sure that some of them would be strong and not far away. Although Xuanyuan Mo also wrote the memorial, Shi Mian still tactfully refused after considering her physical condition and the long journey. and specifically asked her to cultivate herself at home, and also sent some precious medicinal materials.

It was drizzling outside, but none of the officials, palace servants, and internal guards standing on the square moved. The canopies and flags they held were all arranged in an orderly manner, waiting for orders.

In the Chengtian Palace, after the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs finished his ceremony, Lu Guanchu began to read the imperial edict under the signal of Shi Min. He appointed King Yan Jun as the envoy, Shanlu Wang of Beijun and Qi Ming, Marquis of Wufu as deputy envoys, and officials such as Zuo Shishu of the Ministry of Rites. Accompanying him, he went out of the palace at an auspicious time to Buhou Mansion to hold the dowry ceremony and canonization ceremony.

After saluting and accepting orders, the three kings of Yan County took the gold festival and the queen's treasure book respectfully, and then took the lead to leave the hall. Everyone who had just been named followed them out. It was Sishi, and they still had to wait for a while in the drizzle.

As soon as Yanjun Wang and others left, there were more than 20 ministers missing at once, but they didn't feel that there were fewer people, because as soon as the officials in front left, the officials behind would fill their seats in time, and there are many officials today, but there are only a few. There are more than [-] people, it really doesn't look particularly obvious.

Ma Jie, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out to report the sacrificial ceremony according to the wedding regulations. After Shi Mizhun played, Guan Chu read out the imperial edict to go to the suburbs to sacrifice in person. Only then did Shi Min get up and go out, and finally led most of the civil and military officials and the guard of honor to leave the palace for the Temple of Heaven through Chengtianmen and Dachengmen under the drizzle.

As soon as Shi Min and the accompanying civil and military officials left, most of the civil and military officials and the guard of honor in the square left, and the rest were those who went to the Buhou Mansion to perform the canonization ceremony, and the rest would leave when the auspicious time came.

In the new-looking Buhou Mansion, decorated with lanterns and festoons, both the entourage and the guards are dressed in new auspicious clothes, their faces are full of red, and they are very busy coming and going.

Jiang Li, who was dressed in a court dress, stood in the hall asking questions and pointing fingers, while the two elders in bright red dresses sat on the main seat and helped to add something from time to time, for fear of missing anything.

"My little ancestor, what time is it, why are you still wearing this dress? Huh?" Bu Qianxue saw this scene when she came in with her little niece and sister Qing in her arms. Just as she was about to say something, Jiang Li I spoke first.

Bu Qianxue said calmly: "According to the regulations, they will leave the palace at the right time. It's still early, mother, don't worry."

"Morning? Changing clothes, dressing up, which ones don't take time, half a month later, why don't you take Zhonggong back to change clothes..." Jiang Li said a lot, and while talking, she hugged her little granddaughter and changed hands Passed it to the child's mother again, urging Bu Qianxue to go back and change clothes.

Bu Qianxue looked at her grandfather as if asking for help, but her grandfather, who had always been on her side, turned out to be on Jiang Li's side this time, and so did her grandmother, telling her to go back to her room and change clothes.

"Okay, I'll go now." Bu Qianxue couldn't help it, and after looking at her little niece and sister helplessly, she took Ban Yue and the others away. They were supposed to have breakfast together, but now it seems that they can only solve it separately.

Since Bu Lang's death, both Bu Qianxue and Jiang Li have talked with Bu Lang's partner in private. After all, they are very young, and there is no such thing as chastity here. It is also a fact not to have a mother.

So they all wanted to know each other's thoughts and plans. Fortunately, the child's mother did not plan to find a new partner immediately. She planned to wait until the child was older. Jiang Li was very happy and immediately promised that if she remarried, she would give her a generous gift at that time.

Even Bu Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief, if her mother was really allowed to take care of her little niece, she might lose weight in a few days, and it would definitely be the grandmother and grandfather who were really tired, because she was the best example.

So if Jieqing really remarried at that time, she would definitely give a generous gift. Even if she didn't remarry in the end, the Bu family would still be able to support her for the rest of her life.

As soon as the time came, amidst the chanting and shouting of the officials of the Qin Tianjian, the king of Yan County mounted his horse and led the team out of the palace with the gold festival. The ceremony and music were played, and the canopy flags gathered. lift.

In fact, it is the ceremony of folk weddings, one lift after another, but the royal one is covered with cloth with purple as the main color and red as the side, like a small pavilion, so it is also called Fengting.

In addition to the [-]-carrying phoenix pavilion, there is also an exquisite eight-carrying imperial sedan chair, which contains the queen's book, treasures and canonized imperial edicts, closely following the chief and deputy envoys.

The gray sky that had been drizzled all the time began to brighten up, and the light drizzle gradually disappeared into the sky.

The road to be passed by the guard of honor is the same as the road to be passed by the emperor. It has been martial lawed by the foreign army in advance, no other cars and horses are allowed to pass by, pedestrians and businesses are not allowed to make loud noises, and cars are required to bow when passing by.

So the guard of honor walked all the way past, only the sound of ritual music, footsteps and horseshoes, no noise, and no one dared to look around with great fanfare, only some courageous ones dared to watch secretly.

What Shi Min and the others didn't know was that once the guard of honor passed by for a while, the originally quiet street would become bustling with chattering discussions, even if the Imperial Guards stopped drinking, because as long as they didn't make trouble, the Imperial Guards wouldn't bother. What will really happen to them.

Because of the rare event of the emperor's wedding, the inns, restaurants, and teahouses along the way that the guard of honor would pass by had a boom in business today, and the good locations were booked out a month in advance, and they were booked out for several days in a row.

In the Hua Dynasty, anyone who knows history knows that the royal weddings of the first two dynasties, the Shen Dynasty and the Qu Dynasty, were generally held at night, while the Hua Dynasty was just the opposite. The weddings were all held during the day, which caused the people to be affected by this. changed to daytime.

The change from night to day also gave the common people a chance to see the true face of the royal wedding. Unfortunately, such a grand event as the emperor's wedding is rare in a hundred years. Anyway, the entire Hua Dynasty is dominated by Daozong and the present.

The wedding of the crown prince or the grandson of the emperor happens every few years, but the scale is far less grand than that of the emperor, so this time the emperor's wedding, many idlers with money and time flocked to Fandu just to see the grand event .

It's a pity that I'm afraid they will be disappointed. The budget for this wedding was cut in half by the two of Shi Min and turned to education. Even if Shi Min paid for it himself, it is far from the grand wedding of Daozong's wedding, but it is still better than the prince's wedding. Be grand.

The emperor's guard of honor was mighty and mighty, stretching for several miles. It was almost noon when they reached the Temple of Heaven. The blue sky swept away the grayness of the morning. Shi Min, dressed in a crown, began the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven under the singing of the Minister of Rites.

On the other side of the Buhou Mansion, the King Yanjun and others finally came. After saluting at the door, the Golden Festival representing the identity of the emperor was respectfully placed on the incense table in the middle hall, and everyone saluted.

At the end of the ceremony, Bu Qianxue, who was wearing a Zhai uniform and did not wear a crown, saluted in the direction of the palace. Yan Junwang stood at the front left and began to read the imperial decree: "When the weather is right, the emperor clearly ordered: I have inherited the sacred scriptures of the first group, and I have been honored by the Emperor." Zhou, trembling and trembling, never slacking off. I heard that a sage king must establish a queen, and build a temple to inherit the ancestral temple. Bu Qianxue, the daughter of Buhou Jiangli, has inherited Ming Ming's life in the past, and is reverent and generous. She has both culture and virtue, and is elegant. Dignified. It is advisable to build Changqiu, with the Fengzong Temple......Ordained to book the treasure and make Er the queen......

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Bu Qianxue received the imperial decree first, then the book of treasures, and finally the accompanying officials respectfully put on a gorgeous and heavy crown for her. From this moment on, she is the real queen.

"Nakamiya Chitose Chitose Chitose"

"Nakamiya Chitose Chitose Chitose"

"Nakamiya Chitose Chitose Chitose"

Everyone present bowed three times to Bu Qianxue, including Jiang Li and the two elders. No matter how great family affection is here, it is ultimately not as great as the power of the monarch.

After the canonization ceremony was completed, it was the dowry ceremony. Even though it was already past meal time and everyone felt hungry, but the etiquette was not completed, the banquet could not be held, and no one dared to say anything.

The dowry ceremony is actually a dowry ceremony, that is, the day before the wedding, the married party brings everything that the partner may use after marriage to give another gift, reminding the married party that tomorrow is the wedding day.

In Fengting, there are court clothes, auspicious clothes, wedding clothes, regular clothes and casual clothes for the queen, and each of them has three seasons of spring, autumn, winter and summer.In addition, there are various utensils for daily use such as bronze mirrors and copper basins, as well as combs and foundations.

The gift sent today and the dowry prepared by Jiang Li will enter the palace with Bu Qianxue tomorrow, and the dowry that Shi Min prepared for Bu Qianxue in private before, under Jiang Li's hard work, most of it was useless in the end. It is impossible, so it is still stored in her private treasury.

When the dowry ceremony was over and Yanjun Wang and others finally ate the banquet prepared by the Buhou Mansion, it was already late in the afternoon. As for the low-status entourage, Ren Shi and the front could only eat the ancient version of fast food.

What they didn't know was that the officials and entourage who followed Shi Min to the Temple of Heaven had no better food than they did there. Even Shi Min's lunch was mediocre, with only a few dishes all vegetarian.

And not only vegetarian dishes today, but also vegetarian dishes for the previous three days, because all major rituals require bathing and fasting for the first three days, even Bu Qianxue is the same.And the same is true for civil and military officials, but only they know whether they secretly eat or not.

At the end of the banquet, King Yan took the lead to say goodbye to Bu Qianxue, and Jiang Li personally sent it outside the door, and the guard of honor set off again to the Taimiao to wait for the holy driver. At this time, Shi Yan was on his way to the Temple of Earth to offer sacrifices. ?
