Chapter 1972 Gathering of all parties, Chang'an Long Street
In the fourth year of Taixing, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the sky was high and the air was crisp and the weather was sunny.
Fei Qian married Cai Yan.
At the beginning of Chenshi, Pang Tong, the servant of Zhongshu, and Xun You, the servant of Zhongshu, were divided into welcoming envoys. Preserved dried fruit and other things are coming in one after another.
Chenliu Cai, headed by Cai Gu, set up a green cloth mantle as a green house in front of the mansion to receive guests.
Whether married or unmarried in Chang'an City, the male and female children of the gentry all came out in full force, crowding the front of the Cai Mansion, but if you look carefully, it is actually quite different. In one place, Jingxiang, Nanyang, Yuzhou, and others gathered together again, and the children of Heluo Chang'an had a good chat, and some officials who had just joined the poor family also faintly formed a small circle...
Besides these gentry children, the entire Chang'an city is almost full of soldiers to maintain order, and the inspections are even more tense, sitting on horseback and checking everything around them all the time. All the high points in the city are stationed with crossbowmen, in case of unexpected changes.
At three o'clock in the morning, the angel Chen Qun brought eight entourages to the Cai Mansion, and delivered a decree to read out the imperial edict on Cai Yan as a show of glory, officially kicking off the prelude to the celebration.
The things given by the emperor Liu Xie are actually not so precious, that is, some square candles, carved colorful decorations, gold and silver ribbons, but the name is important, and it is also an unprecedented courtesy, which makes the unmarried noble girls on the side Qiqi was so envious that she wished she could replace her with her own body.
Pang Tong laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and he seemed to be eager to entertain Chen Qun, but in fact, he knew exactly what Chen Qun wanted to do with the so-called congratulatory gift, what kind of gift from the emperor...
Cai Yan was in the backyard, wearing a curly train and deep wedding attire, somewhat at a loss, holding an exquisite fan. This fan was decorated with gold and silver patterns, which was extremely luxurious, and it was also used as a cover for Fei Qian. Sometimes you can cover your face with a fan.
Beside Cai Yan, there was an old nanny muttering some words, which made Cai Yan's heart beating wildly, making it difficult to calm down.
Hijabs and the like were also available in the Han Dynasty, but they were not common. It was not officially entered into the wedding process until the Tang Dynasty. Actually speaking, covering the head is a gift of the barbarians, because the desert outside the Great Wall is very windy and sandy, so there are often things covering the head and covering the face. Naturally, the bride should be bright and conspicuous to show the difference.
Not yet.
Feiqian set off from the Hussar General's Mansion, also wearing a wedding dress with a curly train and deep clothes, and a crown on his head. As the so-called wedding day is lawless and can be overridden, that is the case.
Ordinary people get married, and they can use utensils, colors, silks, etc. that can only be used by nobles and nobles on their wedding day, and they will not be punished and punished for this. It is normal to wear the crown of nine beads.
Even so, when Fei Qian wore the crown of nine pins and nine beads, after seeing it, many people, especially Fei Qian's officials, showed a special color in their eyes when they saw it. This look is very complicated, it is difficult to describe, some seem to be looking forward to hope, but also seem to be uneasy.
Cai Yan is a flat wife.
That is to say, except that the status in the family is slightly lower than Huang Yueying, the rest are "equal" to his wife.
Huang Yueying? Although she always said that this is okay and that is okay, but on this day, Huang Yueying showed her face at the beginning and forced a smile, and then she simply hid in the backyard and didn't show her head anymore. She knew, Today's protagonist is not her.
Human nature is first of all selfish, and selfishness comes first. If there is no selfishness, if there is no selfishness as a comparison, then how can it be selfless?
At least Huang Yueying is still going straight, and everything is written on her face, which is a thousand times better than those who are very good at pretending but are ruthless behind their backs.
Fei Qian thought before that he could follow his own wishes, or pay more attention to Cai Yan's personal choice, but now he finds that some things may not be arranged as he wants...
The family is weak, and the problem of heirs is a hidden danger of Fei Qian, and this hidden danger will become more obvious as Fei Qian's status improves. Just like for poor people, the so-called inheritance is at most a thatched hut and a broken hoe, and there is nothing to fight for. Even if the old man is willing to give it to a fruit seller, it doesn't matter because the value is not high. It's not a big problem. But once there are tens of thousands of family wealth, relatives can tear faces, even scuffle to each other, and perform a mouse tail juice on the mourning hall.
Especially Xiao Feizhen doesn't like reading!
This really gave Fei Qian a headache.
Perhaps with the help of Fei Qian's remaining prestige and the fact that the old ministers who followed Fei Qian to conquer the world are still there, Fei Zhen can still have no major problems, but Fei Zhen's next generation is hard to say, just like Cao Rui in history . Although it is said that the name is Yourui, and it has a posthumous title of "Ming", but in fact...
Cao Rui may have done a lot of things, but in the end he did two big things, big stupid things. One is that she believed in the so-called "goddess". The wife of a farmer in Shouchun claimed that she was sent by the gods to live in the palace, to ward off disasters and evil spirits for the emperor's family, and to enjoy blessings and prolong life. She draws water to drink for the sick, and many who drink are healed. So Cao Rui built a palace in the harem specially for her, and issued an edict to praise her talent and love her especially. When Cao Rui became seriously ill, drinking her spring water had no effect, so he killed her in a fit of rage. Looking for a real doctor to treat the disease, but it was too late...
So, Cao Rui did the second stupid thing, sending an order to summon Sima Yi to the court with a post horse. When Sima Yi arrived in a hurry, he was immediately led into the inner palace. Emperor Ming took his hand and asked him to assist the crown prince with General Cao Shuang. Sima Yi wept bitterly, kowtowed repeatedly, and agreed to the entrusted order...
What happened later? Naturally, everyone knows the result.
That's right, now Feiqian has made many reforms and improved a lot of things, but the key still needs follow-up stability and follow-up, otherwise what is the difference between Feiqian and those short-lived figures in history?
It's like playing a game of the Three Kingdoms. After painstakingly unifying China, after a long and long list of creations, the final CG is always the same five random China?
Therefore, Cai Yan is to make up for the shortcoming of successors and successor education.
Indispensable.
Fei Qian suddenly remembered that when he married Huang Yueying back then, he hesitated and hesitated under the deer mountain and beside the stream, and suddenly found that the somewhat young and immature self of the year was gone, and the rest was Even emotions began to calculate, almost cold self...
Humans are social animals after all!
Fei Qian's heart was full of waves, but his face remained unchanged. He smiled slightly and signaled to the disciples of the gentry who were watching the ceremony.
Cai Gu saluted and greeted him in front of Qinglu.
Fei dived off the horse, and helped Cai Gu up with a smile on his face.
In fact, Cai Gu has no big ambitions, he is proficient in all kinds of scriptures, poetry and books, and he is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. If it is not for Cai Yan's face, and Cai Gu is a big mistake, he really does nothing. After all, as a gentry, what we eat, drink, greet and send is a very normal social reality at the moment, so we stay in the moment.
Pang Tong and Xun You were also smiling.
Fei Qian greeted Chen Qun again, if he didn't know, the people inside seemed to be in harmony, Fei's and Cao's family...
Then Fei Qian walked into the Green Hut, and joined Cai Yanjin in the wedding ceremony.
It is also commonly known as handing in cups of wine, but this handing in cups is just an exchange of cups, and it does not have to hook arms as in later generations... The pattern of handing in cups in later generations is mostly created by rumors, which is completely different from ancient rituals, probably also in the Tang Dynasty. Started afterward.
匏 is bitter, even though sugar is added, the wine is still bitter, and the couple will drink this bitter and sweet wine together. Perhaps when the ancients formulated this etiquette, they also fully considered the meaning contained in it.
Although Cai Yan covered her face with a fan, when eating food and drinking gourd wine, she still showed her slender jaw, and there was a touch of elegant but beautiful lips, rosy and tender, like two petals of small cherries.
Fei Qian raised the wine and drank it down.
Amidst the applause of the guests, Cai Yan peeked behind the fan with a flushed face, and saw that when Fei Qian was drinking, the wine accidentally dripped on his chest, revealing some spots, he couldn't help but frowned, slightly chuckle...
Before he knew it, it was an auspicious time, and Fei Qian needed to lead Cai Yan home.
At this time, Pang Tong and Xun You had to urge them loudly, which is the so-called meaning of urging makeup, and then it was supposed to be Cai's Cai Gu with a group of people to obstruct, and the two sides had to see each other, but Cai Gu, one is talent and learning He was completely crushed, and the other one didn't dare to be too difficult, so as not to offend Fei Qian, so he just put on a show and ended hastily, which attracted the laughter of the rest of the gentry children.
Cai Yan was laughing, covered his face, and boarded the car with painted railings and painted wheels looking around the canopy.
The so-called canopy car with painted rails and painted wheels is actually a special decoration, and the baffles on three sides have been removed, leaving only the specially crafted guardrails, the colorful paintings on the wheels, and the colorful canopy ceiling. , It is as gorgeous as you want, and it is different from the floats of later generations, because the baffles on three sides are removed, and only the railings are left, so the bride can be seen in all directions, which is "looking around".
Although Cai Yan covered her face with a fan, she still showed a little delicate face, which attracted many people who watched the ceremony to cheer, which lasted endlessly. The convoy will circle the city for half a circle from the main Chang'an Avenue, and then enter the Feiqian Mansion. The people watching the ceremony along the way are even more crowded, and when Feiqian Cai Yan shows up, they are even more surging, making the maintenance soldiers tense Extremely strong, using a large shield to withstand the crowd horizontally, so that the order will not turn into chaos.
It was during the New Year, and it was another happy event for Fei Qian, the supreme ruler of Xijing. It was true to say that it was a celebration for the whole city, and it was even more lively than the day of New Year's Day.
Xu Chu and Wei Du followed closely behind Fei Qianma like the door gods on the left and right. Although they were wearing colorful painted armor, which was somewhat funny and uncoordinated, they both looked serious and held the heavy painted shield tightly in their hands. Tight and close.
The best time to assassinate is when Fei shows up among the potential crowd. For safety's sake, Huang Xu even suggested that this section of the street be replaced by that double, but Fei Qian vetoed it. On the one hand, the substitute is a substitute after all, and ordinary people may be able to hide it, but there are many children of the gentry at the scene. If they see such a thing as a substitute, what will these people think? On the other hand, Fei Qian also felt that he used a substitute to hide in a safe place, but put Cai Yan at risk, which was somewhat unreasonable.
Therefore, based on the auspicious time as an excuse, the time of welcoming the bride was brought forward to the middle of the day. After all, if the so-called wedding according to the original custom is a "gift at dusk", if the lights are flickering and the vision is dim, that is true. It's too dangerous...
Now the weather is clear, the soldiers on the heights are controlling and monitoring, and they can see everything around. In addition, Xu Chu and Wei are all on the sidelines for defense, so the risk is minimized.
Chen Qun walked slowly behind the convoy.
This time, Chen Qun came to Xijing, ostensibly to give Fei Qian the so-called congratulatory gift, to issue an imperial order to Cai Yan, but in fact, naturally, there are other purposes...
Fei Qian took Guo Jia, and Cao Cao was anxious to some extent, but there was nothing he could do, unless Cao Cao found an opportunity to grab one of Fei Qian's advisers in exchange. At the same time, although Guo Jia was not imprisoned, his personal freedom was also restricted, and he couldn't find anyone to pass on some news. Therefore, this time Chen Qun came to Chang'an, naturally hoping to persuade Fei Qian to release Guo. Jia is naturally the best, no matter how bad it is, you can take this opportunity to meet Guo Jia, and then exchange information or something.
It's just that, Chen Qun was a little surprised that Fei Qian married Cai Yan, because in Chen Qun's view, Fei Qian had many choices, and if he didn't mind, there were also ladies in the Yingchuan Chen family who were waiting to be married. Although it may not be as good as Cai Yan's knowledge, but he is not far behind in husband and son, and more importantly, he is young and can have more children...
Even if you don't choose the Chen family, there are Pei families in Hedong, Wang and Wen in Taiyuan, Webster and Du in Guanzhong, Zhang, Huang in Hanzhong, Wu in Sichuan and so on. That one is no more family-owned than the Cai family. Advantage?
Among the gentry, taking a concubine is naturally a matter of choice, but of course more aspects must be considered in such a formal marriage. Feiqian's move is naturally not the best, and it can even be said that it cannot bring Feiqian How much benefit, after all, Chen Liu Cai, hehe, look at Cai Gu and you will know what it is...
Or maybe the Huang family in Feiqian's family is too strong?
Chen Qun raised his eyebrows. Could it be that the gossip about Huang's fierce wife, Fei Qian, is true?
If so, it is really interesting.
Chen Qun couldn't help laughing, and then saw Pang Tong's scrutinizing gaze from the side, without panic, he still smiled and waved his hands as a signal. how? Can't someone laugh on this occasion?
Pang Tong narrowed his eyes, touched his chin, nodded, and said nothing. But the same thought was turning in his heart, Chen Qun, who represented Cao Cao, came, and Lu Su, who represented Sun Quan, also arrived at Wuguan... It is said that that unlucky Lu Su almost fell into the valley when he walked the Wuguan mountain road...
Wait a few more days, and it will be lively. It is estimated that it is even more lively than the current scene. Hey, my chin, I don't know how many I can keep...
Pang Tong and Chen Qun had their own thoughts, but Cai Gu, who was a little behind, had a bright old face and a bright smile.
For Cai Gu, this long-term meal ticket can be regarded as his hand. As long as he does not die, he can eat with a golden rice bowl. How many people would come up to flatter him begging, Cai Gu couldn't help being elated.
Cai Gu was complacent, shook his head, and waved his hands at others, completely ignoring whether he might follow in Feihe's footsteps...
Of course, the death of Feihe was only circulated on a small scale, and it was not widely publicized. So Cai Gu didn't take the matter of Feihe to heart, and he didn't think there would be any problems if he indulged. He just thought of the benefits and forgot the risks. Isn't this a common problem of ordinary people?
It's no wonder Cai Gu, after all, the people in the vortex of the Feihe matter are extremely obscure, especially for someone like Cai Gu who wanders on the fringes of the political center.
In fact, Fei Qian had some clues when he asked Fei He to think about his mistakes behind closed doors at home, but after all, people are greedy for life and afraid of death to survive, so Fei He kept procrastinating, thinking that the ending might not be so bad. to die...
The reason why Fei Qian did not follow the so-called court trial process, apart from the fact that although Fei Qian now has a rudimentary form of the separation of powers, it is still only a rudimentary form, not enough to take on all the corresponding responsibilities, there is another very important reason, that is, Fei Qian Compared with before, Qian has a deeper understanding of the four words "rabble".
Many times, or most of the time, people only want to see what they want to see, only willing to know what they want to know, and those who are subjectively willing to understand the world more clearly and truly, after all, is a minority. It's like there are so many people in later generations who know that smoking is harmful, but still smoke, and know that piracy is not good, but still contribute clicks. He did bad things, but doesn't it mean that Fiji is all bad people?
If someone takes advantage of it, three points are really added to seven points, and then some sensational headline is taken, these ordinary people in the Han Dynasty will hold back and refrain from clicking on pirated copies?
So the more high-level news, the more closed it is, and it is generally not released. Or to say that nothing happened and everything is normal, and actually do a secret investigation, and then wait until the public doesn't pay attention to it before finishing it quietly.
This point has been true from ancient times to the present, from China to the outside world.
It's just that people like Cai Gu basically don't understand these things, or in other words, they don't have the heart to understand them. Cai Gu just thinks that when times come and go, good luck comes, and as Fei Qian's relative, the Chen Liu Cai family is about to prosper!
Fei Qian Cai Yan and his party, together with Pang Tong and Chen Qun, and the sons of the gentry who followed, plus Cai Yan's dowry servants, dowry, etc., meandered through the city of Chang'an like a long dragon. And along the way, the people watching the ceremony on both sides are also flocking together, the streets and alleys are full of people competing to watch, the grand occasion is unprecedented...
…d(·`ω·d*)…
【When the queue arrived in front of the Hussar's Mansion, a horse monkey suddenly jumped out, staring and baring its teeth: "You can just watch the ceremony without presents, don't you even have a recommendation ticket or a monthly pass? 』】
