The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty - Chapter 288

After a few days, it was a good day and the prince got married.

Yun Yan got up early to wash up in the morning. In this feudal society, royal family affairs are equal to state affairs. The emperor married his wife, and the officials also went to have a wedding wine and congratulated him on the table.

Zhao Yunchu was the same, he was not only a courtier, but also a clan, and he was also on the scene.

There were banquets in both the inner and outer courts, and the palace was decorated with lights and festivities, and the joy even spread to the outside of the palace. Because Renzong won the hearts of the people and the prince was also known as a virtuous name, this marriage, which can be called a good story, has also been blessed by many people.

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu all the way to the palace gate, can hear the people discussing today’s marriage. Naturally, what children are most looking forward to is the part of dispersing wedding candy.

Two days earlier, there was a steady stream of candy being transported from Tao Zhiyao to the palace. It is said that when the first lift entered the palace gate, the last lift did not leave Tao Zhiyao’s gate. After all, it is not only to disperse wedding candy, but also a lot of banquets in the palace.

As for the use of the wedding, it has been procured a few months earlier.

According to Yun Yanhui’s knowledge, because Renzong has been quite rich in recent years, and the court is also wealthy, he bought tens of thousands of taels by giving silver alone. In addition, there are various kinds of silk and silk, brocade and jade belts, fine wine, cattle and sheep. Xian Renzong is a big local tyrant.

In addition to the rewards to the prince and concubine, Renzong also had to issue rewards to his courtiers, so that everyone could share the joy.

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu were recognized by Renzong, and they can be regarded as relatives of the emperor. He and Zhao Yunchu entered the inner court together. At this time, Renzong happened to summon Shi Gaobi in the partial hall.

The servant brought Yun Yanhui and the two into the side hall. Yun Yan sang back and saluted: “Congratulations to the official family, congratulations to the official family, you are blessed to have this wonderful daughter and daughter-in-law.”

Renzong people in middle age, although not as good as they were in the past, they can be called mature and handsome, which is when they are most satisfied. Although there is a small regret, since there is today’s wedding, he has already wanted to have it. At this time, he didn’t care about Yun Yan’s indecent congratulatory message and said: “Get on here, let me see what congratulations you have prepared. “

Yun Yan went back and raised his sleeve to show Renzong.

Renzong took a probe and found that his arms were empty.

Yun Yan replied, “I gave the big item! I sent it to Shisan Lang early!”

Renzong almost hit him, “Then you show me what sleeves.”

Cao Miaolian covered her mouth and smiled, “Zhufeng loves to make jokes, but what big item did you give?”

Renzong meant to say: “I just watched it. Gao Bi brought many overseas treasures to Shu’er and Taotao.”

“You are rich in the world, how come your son became a relative, and you still think about our gift, no matter how you can’t return it,” Yun Yan said quietly, “Achu and I gave a potted connecting tree together. It’s only half a person tall. My thought is that Shisan Lang is irrigated every day. After a few years, he married Taotao for fifty or sixty years, and even the tree has grown to the sky.”

There are so many courtiers in Beijing, and I don’t know how many people want to photograph the horses of the future emperor. Where the expensive things are returned by Yunyan, they have long been snapped up. Yun Yanhui simply asked someone to cultivate a connecting tree, which is a good idea.

Renzong heard this and pointed to him: “Don’t say so much, you are just a coincidence. Then Xiaoba gets married in the future, what will you give me?”

Zhao Youwu’s relationship with Yun Yanhui is closer, and they are still in the same family.

Yun Yan replied slyly: “I treat them equally, even if my son marries a wife, I will also send Lian Shu.”

Renzong had no choice but to give him a few false pointers, and said to Zhao Yunchu: “You want to revive the husband.”

Zhao Yunchu blushed and slightly lowered his head and pursed his lips.

“?” Renzong didn’t know what Zhao Yunchu was happy about. He was so unpromising. It has been for so many years. Whenever someone says that they are still happy as a couple, they really can’t count on a vigorous husband.

In fact, Renzong always guessed that Yun Yanhui was the husband. It’s so dangerous that he was concerned about his identity, he didn’t ask, he retained some temperament to some extent.

Shi Gaobi didn’t go to Bianliang for a long time, and Renzong cared about his studies again. After taking the school examinations, he felt that Shi Gaobi was deeply influenced by Sinology culture. .”

However, it is a pity that Shi Gaobi will be a Miao chieftain in Guangnan in the future, even if he is admitted as a Jinshi, he can’t go elsewhere to become an official. After attending Zhao Shu’s wedding this time, I don’t know what year and month it was before entering Beijing in the future.

Renzong looked at Shi Gaobi, then at Yun Yanhui, and said with emotion: “How can one face have two different hearts. Chasing the wind is that there are too many hearts and eyes, and knowledge is missed.”

There are too many slots, and Yun Yanhui is speechless to explain this kind of explanation.

Shi Gaobi smiled and said, “Brother Yan is at the age of a minister, and he is already highly used by officials. I don’t dare to stand shoulder to shoulder.”

Yun Yan replied, “Well, the officials are always wrong, and they obviously like me like this…”

Renzong: “…”

Sometimes, Renzong would also reflect on himself, whether he indulged Yun Yan too much. However, this seemed to be his only friend close to him, so he had no choice but to indulge.

…

Besides, there are so many rituals today. Regardless of Renzong’s side, it is mainly Zhao Shu and Gao Taotao. The two of them have to salute at the emperor’s womb, then go to the official house and the queen to give salutes, thank you, and you have to accept the hundred officials. , The clan and even foreign envoys pay congratulations and so on.

At the beginning, Gao Taotao complained repeatedly when she performed the ceremony. Her body is not weak anymore, but the etiquette is really complicated, and Jifu is even more heavy. Zhao Shu felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, and at that time he also asked Yun Yan to come up with some lazy and slippery ideas.

Yun Yan pointed his nose back: “Why do you ask me about the idea of ​​being lazy and slippery?”

Zhao Shu looked hard to speak, and found a decent reason for a long while: “You have probably caught a lot of people who play slippery…”

This is pretty much the same.

Where did Yun Yan know how to be lazy when a girl salutes? He approached the old palace man, and asked for advice on how to maintain physical strength during the ceremony, and asked Zhao Shu to replace all the palace servants around Gao Taotao with strong servant women. Leverage her.

When Zhao Shu and Gao Taotao came to Renzong to thank them for their gratitude, they still had room to spare.

Renzong sighed with emotion that this time Zhao Shu and Gao Taotao got married because Renzong considered the situation of the Cao family a hundred years later and taught them to marry them.

However, no one does not want parent-child succession, especially the better he takes care of the country, the more melancholy.

It’s just that the son can’t beg for it, and Renzong himself secretly guessed that he usually does good deeds by accumulating morality, and that it is because Taizong won the country that he was wrong. If you stubbornly treat Shisan Lang, you may be eccentric in the future, and you will be inconvenienced.

History quietly turned a corner here, and it was later confirmed that Zhao Shu was grateful for Renzong’s mind and cared for Li, Cao’s relatives, and princesses. In terms of political ideas, they also inherited the last wish of Renzong, and continued the prosperity and peace of the Renzong dynasty.

…

At this time, after Zhao Shu and Gao Taotao thanked him for his gratitude, the clan, officials, and envoys came to congratulate him.

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Shu looked at each other in the crowd, exchanging tacit glances.

Yun Yan looked back at Zhao Shu, who is now tall, chic and full of spirits, and suddenly thought of the kid who forced him to pull out carrots together, and suddenly thought of the a little bit naughty and good-tempered emperor in the back kitchen of Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhao Yunchu seemed to have a sharp heart, and said to the side: “Back then, we ran behind our buttocks, and all of a sudden we are getting married.”

Yun Yan went back to find her friend and nodded, “Isn’t it? It moved me. We are also watching the prince and princess grow up. In two years, the princess and Guagua will also get married…”

The ancients got married early! To be put in the modern age, he still belongs to the young and middle-aged, but he is close to the grandfather’s generation. Of course, because he didn’t know how many years he had been an uncle or a grandfather, so he was still acceptable.

Zhao Yunchu was also deeply touched and said: “Yes! Brother Yan, you see, even Guagua is about to get married, and we haven’t been able to get married…”

“…” Yun Yan wanted to cry and laugh again, too, his relationship with Zhao Yunchu was not recognized by the national laws, and now it is considered illegal confinement at best. But they have the approval of the feudal emperor, and I don’t know if they are above the law.

Everyone was immersed in the joy at the banquet, but Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu didn’t stay long before they walked out secretly.

It coincided that fireworks were lit inside and outside the palace. Inside the palace were prepared in the palace, and it was very lively with the music of the palace. Outside the palace, merchants spontaneously crowdfunded to celebrate the marriage of the prince.

With bright fireworks illuminating half of Tokyo City, Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu joined hands to board the imperial castle tower to watch the fireworks.

This section of the city wall is still new, and it hasn’t been repaired for a few years. Yun Yan returned to help Renzong to demolish this area of ​​residential houses, and then built a new group of palaces.

Many palace people stood on the tower, with baskets of wedding candy and copper coins at their feet.

Yun Yan looked back and joined the excitement: “Give me a basket, and I’ll post it for you later.”

If other officials came, the palace people would not dare to accept it, but Yun Lang in front of him, the palace people smiled openly and said: “Then thank Yun Lang, you are not here to banquet, but come here to hurt people.”

“Come here to feel the excitement.” Yun Yan looked back and saw that many people had gathered a few feet below the wall, all of them came to feel the joy of the royal family.

The decree of the palace came out to share the joy with the people, and the countless people moved in the direction of the palace, and the mountain called long live. Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu were also together, like other palace people, grabbing wedding candy and copper coins and throwing them down. The people rushed to pick them up, and they also congratulated the prince and concubine.

On the towering city tower, Yun Yan could see the bright lights and the shining stars and moons of Bianjing City, which reminded him of the shock when he first met this ancient city.

Life is like a dream, but Yun Yan dreamed that a thousand years ago, he changed the destiny of many people, and was also changed by many people. He is gradually willing to live here, as a small official, participating in the history of the Song Dynasty together with princes, emperors, grandsons, and literati.

Zhao Yunchu accidentally dropped the basket down the tower, touched his nose embarrassedly, and caught a glimpse of Yun Yan’s motion that stopped at some point, and asked with concern: “Brother Yan, what’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing,” Yun Yan smiled at him slightly, “I was thinking, this is really a flourishing age.”
