Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 582
Wei Gong Xu Mansion, main hall.

Xu Da, Xie, Xu Yungong and other members of the Xu family accompanied him on the side of the hall, while Xu Miaoyun, wearing a phoenix crown and Zhai robe, knelt in the hall.A female official in the palace was announcing the book for him.

"The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, the edict says."

"I have heard that since ancient times, emperors have been careful about simplicity and virtue to support internal affairs. The Xu family is the daughter of Wei Gong Xu Da. She has a filial nature and is well-behaved."

"Now, with the book of treasures, I designate you as the princess of Zhou Dynasty. She respects her wealth, filial piety and support, and praises her respect and diligence. When the leaves of the branches grow taller, they will support the worship of Wei Xin in the ancestral temple."

"Excellent. Granted the title."

The female officer knelt down to Xu Miaoyun and handed the princess's book treasure to her respectfully. Xu Miaoyun took it, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at the family members standing aside.Just as he was about to speak, his voice trembled slightly for some reason, and he straightened his body quickly:
"Your Majesty, Xu Miaoyun, would like to thank you for your kindness."

The female officer nodded and showed a friendly smile. "The ceremony is completed, Princess Zhou, please get up?"

"Ugh..." Upon hearing the word "Li Cheng", Xie's eyes turned red and she almost sobbed.She hurriedly covered her mouth, but her husband Xu Da, who was beside her, had noticed something strange about her wife and couldn't help but said in disgust: "You mother-in-law, why are you crying? Your Highness is a hero in the world. It is a great joy for my eldest sister to marry His Highness. .”

"It's time to laugh, it's time to laugh!"

That being said.But Xu Da himself clearly had slightly red eyes.

Yes, after this wedding, the Xu family will soon go to Harala and Forest in the north.The eldest daughter is married in Yingtian. In this era, the road is far away, so this parting may be eternity.

Even if he is an invincible general on the battlefield, how can he not be tender towards his children?

"...It's me who is helpless." Mrs. Xie squeezed out a smile: "Yes, you should laugh. Yun Gong, don't cry, and send your sister out with a smile." She stroked the back of her eldest son's head as he spoke.

"Yes... eldest sister, the time has come. My brother will take you out." Xu Yungong wiped away her tears and was about to help Xu Miaoyun, but she felt a blur in front of her eyes. Xu Miaoyun had already jumped into Xie's arms like a giant. inside.

"Mom, daughter...my daughter can't bear to leave you."

"Silly boy, silly boy, why don't you want to part with her? According to the past rules, she has been kept as a grown-up girl... Brother Su is a good guy..." Mrs. Xie comforted her daughter while her own tears also flowed down.Seeing their mother in tears, Xie's youngest sons and daughters, Xu Zengshou and Xu Miaojin, also burst into tears. The reluctance of the entire Xu family towards this eldest sister was touching.

The female officer was well aware of the special status of the Xu family, and was also impressed by the deep family ties between them.Ren's family hugged each other for a while, and then urged: "Princess, please get up. Your Highness the Fifth Prince is still outside the palace, and Your Majesty and the Queen are still waiting in the palace. If this continues..."

"That's right, that's right. It's hard to keep His Majesty waiting for a long time." Xu Da said.The family hurriedly wiped away their tears, and Ms. Xie quickly arranged Xu Miaoyun's slightly wrinkled Chinese clothes.Xu Yungong gritted his teeth, stepped forward and whispered to Xu Miaoyun: "Sister, if His Highness the Fifth Prince dares to treat you badly, remember to write to Hala and Lin to find my brother and me."

"Even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers, my brother will still...my brother will also respond to Tianlai, teach His Highness a lesson, and vent his anger on you, sister!"

He felt a little guilty when he said this.Although Zhu Su is not good at boxing, he, Xu Yungong, Young Master Xu, is better than him.Moreover, the Xu family has few men, but the old Zhu family is all men, and there are many rough guys like Zhu Di and Zhu Ping who can fight ten by one.

If the two families really want to fight, if the Zhu brothers come forward to help, he may not be able to get it.

"How can you say that?" Unexpectedly, Xu Miaoyun frowned, showing displeasure. "Your Highness is the king, and you are the minister. An Neng said bad words, what about the following?"

"My father has to guard a bitter and cold place for China. There are thousands of things going on there and he is in need of manpower. As the eldest son, you should be forge ahead and serve and help your father. How can you say something false because of my temporary anger?" Want to fight with His Highness?"

"Remember, in the north, you must honor your father and mother, and don't forget new and scientific knowledge. As the eldest son of Xu, you can't be so frivolous anymore. That is to say, His Highness has a heart as big as the sea, even if you are too open-minded. Such a joke. If you were a narrow-minded person and said this, you would be causing trouble for your father, yourself, and your sister..."

Xu Miaoyun showed a slight show of femininity, and then Xu Yungong huddled his shoulders while reprimanding him, looking pitiful and innocent but not daring to argue.Xu Da laughed.The girl seemed to be reprimanding her brother, but in fact, she was venting her anger on her husband because Yungong's words had offended His Highness the Fifth Prince.

The old people in Qidao Township always say that their daughter’s elbows are bent outwards, but they have just finished announcing the book, is it too fast?

The luan and the phoenix sing in harmony, the husband sings and the woman follows, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, hahahaha.

Being interrupted like this, the Xu family's reluctance to marry their daughter disappeared a little.The family sent Xu Miaoyun to the door of the house, where Zhu Su had been waiting for a long time.Xu Yungong carried his sister onto the chariot. Zhu Su bowed and thanked Xu Da and his wife amidst the sound of firecrackers, then activated the ceremonial carriage and went to the palace surrounded by the cheers and crowds of the people.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! You are blessed with a beautiful wife!"

"Thank you all, elders. Xiangdeng, please spread the wedding money quickly!"

Zhu Su was also well-known among the people and was known as a prince with no airs. Along the way, many people who had met him loudly congratulated him.When Zhu Su saw this, he always greeted him with a smile, turned around and told Xiang Deng to spread money to enjoy the people.So the old eunuch Xiang Deng immediately asked the accompanying eunuchs to scatter the wedding money. In a moment, there was a rain of shining gold coins on the streets. The people were even more joyful, and there were endless cheers, noises, and celebrations.

What a glorious scene.

"Zhi said: Miaoyun, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei, is the Princess of Zhou. I ordered the ministers and others to pay respects to her."

"bye!"

After entering the palace gate, it is not so casual and lively.The etiquette for the marriage of princes in the Ming Dynasty followed the system of the Han, Tang and Pre-Song dynasties, and was extremely complicated.It is divided into many steps: asking for names, accepting levies, notifying the date, canonizing, offering sacrifices, personally welcoming, uniting, meeting in court, meeting in temple, and celebrating.Zhu Su, who was dressed in a prince's imperial robe, led Xu Miaoyun, who was also dressed in attire, past the hundreds of congratulatory officials, and walked slowly into the Fengtian Hall where the wedding ceremony was held.

In the hall, brothers Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhen stood on one side, while on the other side stood Li Wenzhong, Chang Mao and other royal relatives.In the center of the hall are Lao Zhu and Queen Ma.Lao Zhu wore a twelve-slit leather Bian crown suit, while Queen Ma wore a Yanju crown suit commonly known as Feng Guan Xia Pei.Although they are all wearing bright red festive clothes, they also fully demonstrate the solemnity of the heavenly family. "King Zhou and Princess, greetings!" Song Lian, who served as the etiquette officer, chanted loudly.Watching Zhu Su get married, there is always a touch of relief and joy on the face of the master of kings today.

"Marriage is the foundation of the king's transformation. The yin and yang of the law are used to establish human relations. The etiquette precedes the uprightness and then the beauty, so as to inherit the internal duties, and the thought is to promote the virtuous..."

After another obscure blessing speech, Zhu Su and Xu Miaoyun kowtowed to the emperor and empress, knelt down to worship their elders as ordered, and offered jujubes.Later, another official brought meals, and the two drank and ate together for the first time in the palace. This was the ceremony of "joining the 卺", which symbolized that the two officially began to share joys and sorrows and share each other's support.After the wedding ceremony, although there are other rituals such as worship, temple visits, and celebrations, generally speaking, the marriage between two people is considered completed at this time.

Lao Zhu looked at Queen Ma, then stood up and said solemnly: "Lao Wu, although you are talented and learned, you are still young, impetuous and impolite. We see that you are not married yet, so we will treat you You are still treated as a child. But today you are married, that means you have a family and a career, and you are a real man."

"Please remember that from today on, you must act steadily and serve your family and country. You must not be reckless or mediocre."

"This daughter-in-law of ours is a wonderful woman. You must not live up to her and humiliate her, do you understand?"

Old Zhu had something to say, and Zhu Su knew that he was trying to beat himself up. They were already married, so don't always think about being an idle king.In such a scene, there was no room for him to make jokes, so he bowed down solemnly and said: "My son, please remember this."

Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Xu Miaoyun, with a smile on his face: "Miaoyun boy, our son is very naughty and has many strange behaviors. Please keep an eye on him."

"If you have been wronged in any way, tell me and we will show no mercy!"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty: Your Majesty is a man of talent and talent, and he is the one who pioneered the past and the present. Occasionally, there are abnormalities in his behavior, which must be for a reason and not caused by stubbornness. My daughter-in-law has thanked Your Majesty for your love. From now on, I will serve my husband, respect my parents-in-law, and respect my parents-in-law." My ancestor of the Zhu family."

Xu Miaoyun was neither humble nor arrogant, but her words were all intended to protect Zhu Su.

"Huh? Hahaha, you girl is a perfect match for Lao Wu!" Lao Zhu not only wasn't annoyed, but laughed.He turned to Queen Ma and said, "Look at how tight our new daughter-in-law is, isn't she?"

"Sister, take a look, are you as stubborn as you were when you were young? Haha, Xu Tiande gave birth to a good daughter, but he took advantage of my old Zhu family, haha!"

"What a grand day, and it's not official yet!" Queen Ma pinched Lao Zhu and looked at Xu Miaoyun, but she couldn't hide her satisfaction.

"Hahahaha." Lao Zhu was really happy today. He stood up and said: "Now that the great ceremony has been completed, you can go back to the house! There is still a celebration tonight, so start the banquet early so as not to interfere with it. The bridal chamber is full of flowers and candles!"

After being pinched by Queen Ma again, Lao Zhu stopped talking.After a while, he spoke again: "Go back and have a banquet! Let's pass on the decree, King Wu can't help it tonight, our beloved son is getting married, and we want the people in the city to rejoice together!"

Zhu Zi, Zhu Qi and other young brothers couldn't bear to stand in the palace for a long time. After hearing this decree, they knew that the city would be bustling tonight, and they jumped up happily.The eleventh brother Zhu Chun, who has been very attached to Zhu Su recently, even ran to Zhu Su's side, grabbed Zhu Su's sleeves and asked: "Is there a banquet at Fifth Brother's house?"

"Eleven wants to eat the big hoof!"

Although the country's budget was sufficient, Lao Zhu and Empress Ma were still diligent and frugal. The imperial cook who served the palace was still Xu Xingzu, who only knew how to cook big pot dishes for the army.When the children of Lao Zhu's family heard that there was a table to eat, all of them were already salivating like Zhu Su and others did when they saw the food that Zhu Biao secretly brought into the main hall.

"Hahahaha, okay, there are a lot of big hooves in the fifth brother's house today!" Zhu Di laughed out loud and picked up Zhu Chun, and said with a smile: "Let's go to your fifth brother's house."

"Fourth brother and Xiao Eleven will eat up all the big meat from Fifth Brother's house!"

……

Outside the Wangfu Street, many guests and congratulators came in an endless stream. A long banquet stretching for several miles was placed outside the Wangfu Street. People from Guizhou Province who came and went could sit on this flowing table and enjoy a meal as long as they said a lucky word.In order to attract the attention of His Royal Highnesses, the merchants even bought fireworks and other items in the city a few days ago.Now at night, Yingtian Mansion is filled with fireworks and firecrackers.In terms of liveliness, it is not much better than the Emperor Wanshou a few days ago.

As for the palace, it was even more joyous and decorated with lanterns and festoons.Lao Zhu and his wife were talking to Xu Da and Xie. Many princes and princes were laughing and chatting. The nobles were also in groups. Among them, Fei Jufei, the third son, and Lan Yulan, the second son, were the loudest. Both of them drank. There was too much wine, so I don’t know if they were hooking up or just fighting.I only know that they were talking about going to the battlefield to fight while they were drunk. One moment they said they wanted to fight in the Western Region, the next they said they wanted to pacify Wala, and the next moment they wanted to pay homage to Lao Zhu and ask for orders to go out to fight... But they were already drunk and didn't know where Lao Zhu was. , only one of the pillars in the hall was regarded as Lao Zhu, and he knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, asking him to fight without stopping.

Lao Zhu didn't feel dissatisfied, but laughed.Although these nobles were particularly rough and rude, they no longer cared about their wealth and wealth, and all the generals were still as heroic as before.Give him great comfort.

Zhu Su was dragged from table to table to toast.Those noble uncles at the wine table didn't even consider that he was about to get married. They were all big drinkers, but they wanted to join forces to fight against him, Zhu Su.Fortunately, there were several adult brothers to help. The four brothers Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di helped Zhu Su block a lot of wine. Zhu Su also tampered with his own wine in advance and secretly mixed it. Water... Even so, the brothers at this time were already six to seven points drunk.

Looking for an excuse to go out and release the water, the five of them rolled out of the palace gate together, leaving behind the laughter of Lao Zhu and the drunken nobles who had gone crazy.Zhu Su looked at the gate tower behind him and felt a lingering fear in his heart: Even though they have established a country now, they are still very airy on weekdays.But as long as they drink crazy, these people will show their true colors one by one.

No matter the founding figures of the country, or the famous generals... these good guys who can be invited to Lingyan Pavilion are all bandits by nature!
"Fourth brother and fifth brother are all getting married today." Zhu Biao said to Zhu Di while the brothers were releasing water. "As an elder brother, you keep looking for excuses to avoid proposing marriage."

"You have made great achievements and added nine tins, but you still look like a willful child... My father intends to marry Song Guogong, and you are also the prince of my Zhu family. If you are interested, how about eldest brother helping you match up?"

Zhu Di originally had a hint of drunkenness on his face, but when he heard these words, his expression suddenly became solemn.He was silent for a while, and finally shook his head, "Brother, you know, my younger brother only wants to be the champion of you, dad, and heroes. Today in the Ming Dynasty, many great achievements have not yet been completed, so why should we take care of the family?"

"...You and I are blood brothers, so why should you!" Zhu Biao hesitated, shook his head and sighed.He understood what Zhu Di was thinking. He was just still concerned about the so-called Jingnan issue.He also didn't want to make him and Lao Zhu jealous because of his heir's affairs.

Perhaps there was also the reason why he didn't want to give birth to Zhu Qizhen, the shameful thing that would ruin his reputation as King Yan's wise and mighty warriors.

It's just that these fourth brothers are already over twenty after all. Although because of the theory put forward by Zhu Su that "their origins are not solid, they cannot get married", most of the noble princes in the Ming Dynasty postponed the age of getting married and having children, and twenty is not that old.But this fourth brother was obviously determined not to leave any descendants.There are three kinds of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having children. The fourth brother does not want to have children. What should I do?
