Bright Spring

The key point is that the Guo family was chosen by Empress Xu herself. Zhu Gaoxu did not believe that a mother-in-law would find a beautiful daughter-in-law.This is the reason for his worry, and he has never put much hope in this matter.

In the middle of the night, Zhu Gaoxu tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.He had no conditions to choose what kind of person to marry in his previous life; now that he is a prince, he has no choice but to suddenly feel a little unwilling.

……

People from the Zongren Mansion went to the Guo Mansion to deliver the dowry ordered by the emperor. The officials read out the list in front of Guo Ming. It took half an hour just to read the list, and they drank three cups of refreshing tea.

As expected, the royal family is a big deal, and Guo Wei was dizzy listening to it in the partition.When the things were counted one after another and brought in, she was even more dazzled, many things she had never seen before.

There are rosewood and huanghuali furniture, and there are countless silk and satin mink furs in many boxes. Jewelry is packed in boxes, and each kind is at least six pieces.Boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as land deeds for a large number of good farmland houses in the suburbs of the capital.

There are also countless precious medicinal materials such as ginseng, cordyceps sinensis, ganoderma lucidum, deer antler, rhino horn, tiger bone, etc., as well as boxes of daily necessities.When Guo Wei looked at it curiously, she didn't know what to do with many things.

Seeing these things, her mother Xu and sister Guo Yan gradually felt that Guo Wei's marriage was actually a good one, and they were all happy for her.Even my sister occasionally showed envy.

Mrs. Xu held Guo Wei's hand, her face was a little worried and joyful, and she said with a complicated expression: "Holy Lord Long En, these are dowry, even if you get to your husband's house, it will be yours. Wei'er will not have a hard life in the future, You can enjoy it forever.”

Guo Wei blushed and said, "I originally only wanted to have a silk dress when I got married..."

Then the betrothal gift came, and it was still very rich.

Guo Wei never rested, her parents kept teaching her how to be a daughter-in-law and how to get along with the people in the family, as if they wanted to teach her everything they had learned for decades.I told her to be careful and prudent when she went to the county palace to meet King Gaoyang, and when she met the emperor and empress in the future, she must not offend the royal family.

She grows to 14 years old and has never been more important at home.Guo Wei not only felt that she was heavy, as if she was shouldering a lot of things, but also worried and afraid that she might not do well.

... First, two women from the palace came to teach Guo Wei etiquette, let her learn the appearance, and recite the words proficiently.

Before the auspicious day, another strange lady came out of nowhere.The aunt gave Guo Wei a booklet, and then pointed to the pictures in the booklet to talk to her.

Just after saying a few words, Guo Wei's face turned red.The aunt just opened her mouth to say the things that are usually the most taboo.

Guo Wei glanced at the aunt, but saw that the aunt was serious.She suddenly felt very confused, not knowing what was going on.

"Wei'er, you have to listen carefully." The mother said standing at the door.

Guo Wei had no choice but to sit there, even her ears were red.After a while, she was frightened to death again, when she heard that the "bearded man who drank heavily and ate meat" was going to put that thing somewhere...

"I'm afraid I'll die on the day I get married! No wonder they gave me so many things." Guo Wei blurted out in a trembling voice.

The aunt frowned and said: "Don't say that unlucky thing! No way, it will hurt at night, but it will be comfortable afterward."

The aunt taught Guo Wei for a long time, and then told her to hurry up and study.

The whole family's hope is on Wei Er!When Guo Wei thought of this sentence, she felt that these were things she should bear, so she quickly read the booklet. She had a good memory and worked hard, so she could memorize the contents at night.

So she had a nightmare that night and woke up twice, sweating profusely from fright.

When she woke up, she couldn't help crying. She was not only afraid of that thing, but also felt that she would not be able to be with her mother and sister in the future, so the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, so she started crying.Her sister was sleeping next door, separated by a thin wall. Guo Wei was worried that the crying would wake them up, which would only increase her worry, so she gritted her teeth and endured it.

The next morning, before dawn, Guo Wei was woken up.

A few women and a group of court ladies came to the palace, and my mother was also helping out. She brought hot water in early in the morning, bathed Guo Wei first, and then dressed up.

Guo Wei didn't sleep well at all last night, and let them control her in a daze, her mind was still reciting the etiquette and human relations that were handed over to her.

She put on a phoenix crown full of pearls and jade, and a big shirt with a lining and complex colors and patterns, and a Xiapei.What kind of dress Guo Wei was wearing herself, she didn't really understand, it was too complicated, I am afraid that only these court ladies who are in charge of etiquette, or some officials can figure it out.

Guo Wei just pinched the brocade on her body and looked curiously at the big red silk embroidered with gold thread.

There were also a few people who carefully painted the face. Guo Wei quietly looked at the woman's focused expression, and suddenly felt that she was a ceramic bottle, which was being carefully carved by craftsmen, and then sent to a porcelain kiln for firing.

Facing the bronze mirror, Guo Wei lightly pursed her bright red lips to even out the rouge on them.She saw herself inside, and she didn't seem to know her very well.

That innocent face was now a little more beautiful and soft.But no matter how it is painted, it still has an immature look; a 14-year-old girl is wearing a generous gown and a phoenix crown, which really doesn't look appropriate.

Seeing Guo Wei's dignified attire next to her, Mrs. Xu was happy and wiped away her tears.

Guo Wei said: "Mother, don't be sad, I can still go home and see my parents and siblings."

Mrs. Xu quickly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, "You are in the county prince's mansion, and you can do your own thing well, so I can rest assured for my mother."

After Guo Wei listened, a pair of jade-white slender hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, her body tensed up, her vermilion lips parted slightly but she didn't say anything.

Chapter 171 The clothes are not as good as new

Zhu Gaoxu also got up early in the morning. He heard that the etiquette of the gold seal and gold book had been distributed to the princess, and he didn't know when it happened.Professor Hou Hai seemed to know a little bit of etiquette, and reminded Zhu Gaoxu, "When the prince welcomes his relatives, when he arrives at the middle hall of the county princess, he will pay four respects to the princess's parents while standing, and they only answer the second one..."

Hou Hai was still gesturing there, Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at him, seeing his funny movements, couldn't help but smile.

Another maid came in, trimmed Zhu Gaoxu's eyebrows and beard, put a little rouge on his mouth, and powdered his cheeks.

Then began to dress up, Zhu Gaoxu's upper body was a blue dress, and his lower body was a blue dress.

The head is covered with a crown, which is the kind of cover with beads hanging from the front and back, just like the head hat on the coin.He found it very inconvenient to put on the hat, and the beads would shake violently if he moved a little bit, and he was afraid that it might fall off.

He has only seen the emperor sitting on the dragon chair wearing this kind of hat in movies, but princes and princes can also do it, but there are fewer beads.If you don't look carefully, there is not much difference in the clothes of the emperor and the prince.

At this moment, Hou Hai suddenly asked: "Whose idea is this?"

The officer next to him said: "The officiant Xue Siqing ordered it."

Hou Hai clasped his fists and said to Zhu Gaoxu: "I have to remind the lord that your dress is beyond the standard. The crown is made of nine pieces and five colors, nine jade beads, five clothes and four chapters, all made by the prince."

"Father is the son of heaven, what's the matter if I wear the clothes of the prince when I get married?" Zhu Gaoxu immediately said in disapproval, "Xue Siqing was thoughtful and didn't let me wear the clothes of the prince."

He thought to himself: I didn't wear the emperor's clothes beyond the limit, so I'm sure I'm fine!

"My lord is right." Hou Hai thought for a while and then nodded.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at himself in the bronze mirror, turning his head to the left for a while, and turning to the right for a while, looking around.His neck is straight, otherwise the crown cap would be easily crooked, and the person in the bronze mirror looks upright with straight shoulders, and this attire really looks a bit domineering and heroic.

Hou Hai sized him up and said, "Your Majesty is so heroic and majestic that everyone respects him!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly: "I think so too."

It doesn't matter whether the clothes are good-looking or not, but they are very ceremonial. Not everyone can wear them. They represent status.Zhu Gaoxu was most touched.

So Zhu Gaoxu boarded a colorful carriage, surrounded by cheers and hugs, and took a sedan chair embroidered with phoenixes, and the group set off.

From the Prince's Mansion, along the road to Marquis Wuding's Mansion, there were crowds of onlookers.Both sides of the front gate of the mansion were also crowded with people, all of them were officials and civilians who came to watch the ceremony.

Zhu Gaoxu got off the carriage and arrived at the lobby of Marquis Wuding's Mansion, and the official Xue Yan and several officials also came in one after another.Zhu Gaoxu followed what the officials of the clan mansion and others told him, and stood on the east side, and everything went according to the rules.In the old man's house, he generally followed the rules, and even if there were any omissions, they were only minor.

It's just that I still haven't seen the princess of that county.When Zhu Gaoxu came out of the middle hall, someone told him that the princess had been sent to the phoenix sedan chair by the deaconess.He could only get into the carriage first, and take the sedan chair filled with people home.

When he got into the carriage, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but turned his head and glanced at the tightly covered sedan chair, like looking at a sieve cup, no matter what was inside, he would put it away with tears in his eyes.
