Chapter 21 Marriage

"See my emperor, long live my emperor." At this time, Zhao Weiji had already met in the palace. Zhao Guangyi gave him a lot of pressure, but now he was no longer as cowardly as he was before when he met the saint. Now he has a little more foundation in his heart.

"Pretty, Weiji, you did a good job in Daizhou. When you asked to go to the army, I didn't look down on you, but I didn't expect you to be so impressed by Uncle." At this time, Zhao Guangyi's words revealed a kindness that he had never seen before. At this moment, he could not tell that he was an emperor of a generation, but he was really the same as an ordinary grandfather.

When Zhao Weiji heard Zhao Guangyi talking to him in such a tone, he couldn't help but shudder. This guy wouldn't think of anything to imply me again.

No wonder Zhao Weiji thought this way, because from the beginning to the end, Zhao Weiji never trusted Zhao Guangyi because of his identity. The most ruthless imperial family, Zhao Guangyi is suspected of being a senior brother usurping the throne, and even his own brother can be killed, so don’t talk about his nephew.

But this time Zhao Weiji was really wrong. At this time, Zhao Guangyi was not only not ready to take any action against him for the time being, but was instead ready to win him over. The reason is very simple, because Zhao Weiji's wonderful ideas brought too many benefits. The changes Zhao Weiji brought to the Song Dynasty have begun to be quietly revealed, and they are basically good aspects.

Although Zhao Guangyi is suspected of killing his brother and usurping the throne, the fact that he is a good emperor cannot be erased. Zhao Guangyi still hopes that Zhao Weiji will bring more and more good changes. Although he cannot see through why Zhao Weiji has so many fantastic ideas and has created many new things, Zhao Guangyi believes that Zhao Weiji can create more things.

So at this time, Zhao Guangyi chose to win over Zhao Weiji, and even if he was creating something new, Zhao Guangyi would provide assistance behind his back. Zhao Guangyi did not consider the possible surname of raising a tiger, but Zhao Guangyi was confident that at least Zhao Weiji would not have any climate when he was in office. As for his death, if his descendants were not successful and really wanted to seize the throne by Zhao Weiji, he could only blame his descendants for not being successful. What's more, Zhao Weiji is also a descendant of the Zhao family. Even if he seized the throne, the world would be Zhao Songjiang Mountain.

"I heard you are going to marry Princess Chai? This is a good thing. If Princess Chai is married, it can be considered as resolving the grudges between our Chai and Zhao families." Zhao Guangyi continued to ask Zhao Weiji kindly.

"Yes, I am going back this time and preparing to propose marriage to Princess Chai." After affirming that Zhao Guangyi was not ready to indulge himself, Zhao Weiji also began to reply boldly.

"In this way, I am the highest elder of our Zhao family. When discussing marriage, I will discuss with Princess Chai's mother. What do you think?"

Although I can't figure out what it means to discuss a marriage, it is probably something similar to proposing a marriage. Since Zhao Guangyi is willing to come forward, Zhao Weiji is naturally happy, and he feels very proud of his face when the emperor comes forward.

After a few more greetings with Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Weiji left the palace, but when he left, he didn't know if Zhao Guangyi had a new appointment to him. Since Zhao Guangyi didn't mention it, he didn't dare to ask. Anyway, he also needed time to prepare for the wedding.

The day after returning to the mansion, Zhao Weiji went to see Chai Yu. Unexpectedly, after seeing Chai Yu, Chai Yu's first words were: "Do you know, the official family has already asked my mother to discuss the marriage, saying that they would marry me to you."

"I know, yesterday the official family told me about the marriage. Just prepare to marry me." Zhao Weiji said happily.

"Oh, then we can't meet during this period. I'll go back to prepare the dowry and wedding dress." After saying that, Chai Yu turned around and ran away with a blushing face.

"I actually blushed." Zhao Weiji saw Chai Yu running away with a blushing face, and felt amused.

At this time, Zhao Xin next to him spoke: "What are the young master laughing? Princess Chai is telling the truth. During this period, our Duke's Mansion in Anding County will have to be well repaired. Moreover, getting married is a big deal, and some of them need to be done."

When he returned to the mansion, he heard the wedding steps explained by the matchmaker he was looking for, Zhao Weiji immediately fainted. He never thought that it would be so troublesome to get married in the Song Dynasty.

The entire process of getting married in the Song Dynasty was eleven steps, namely: discussing marriage, naming, asking for names, Najibing, asking for money, asking for a date, welcoming the bride, and giving gifts to the wife, meeting the uncle and aunt, meeting the temple, and meeting the wife's parents.

The general rule of the whole process is: parents or elders agree to get married; the man delivers a bride gift to the woman for marriage; the man asks the woman’s name and birth date to calculate the good or bad; the man tells the woman after he calculates the auspiciousness; then sends a bride to the woman; agrees to date the marriage; marry the bride; holds a wedding banquet; the bride pays a visit to her parents-in-law; the newlyweds worship their ancestors; the son-in-law brings his bride back to the door.

Now the Duke of Anding County has begun to discuss marriage with the Duke of Zheng. Duke of Zheng was the title of the original Emperor Gong of Zhou Chai Zongxun. Since Chai Zongxun was dead, the current Duke of Zheng was Chai Yongqi, Chai Yongqi and Chai Yu were not born to the same mother. Chai Yongqi was born to Zhang, the side of Chai Zongxun, and Chai Yu was born to Lin. However, because Lin had no son, the illegitimate Chai Yongqi finally inherited the title of Chai Zongxun by Chai Yongqi.

But Chai Yongqi and Chai Yu are not very good at dealing with each other now, and Chai Yu is basically a money cow of the Duke of Zheng. Her marriage is very unfavorable to the Duke of Zheng, because Chai Yu's industries are all under her name rather than under the Duke of Zheng. Once she marrys to the Duke of Anding County, the industries will also be transferred.

But now the Duke of Zheng Guo’s Mansion cannot do it, because the person who proposed to marry was Emperor Zhao Guangyi. So the Duke of Zheng Guo was preparing to blackmail the Duke of Anding County in two times.

Zhao Weiji, who learned about this situation, couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Zhao Guangyi from the bottom of his heart. Although Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but marry Chai Yu, he still had a way to marry Chai Yu in the end, but it was not something that could be done simply by paying money. Now, if you can send the Duke of Zheng's Mansion, it is not a problem for Zhao Weiji. There is a saying in later generations that as long as you can solve problems with money, isn't it a problem? Due to Chai Yu's genius management, Zhao Weiji's assets were still expanding even during the period when he left Bianjing. Money is no longer a problem for the Duke of Anding County.

Nacai passed it smoothly. As for the name-question, Najib usually goes through the motions. No fortune teller really divined an unlucky hexagram to make the marriage go down. It is easier to collect coins, and you can just spend it with money.

Then he asked about the date. Chai Yu's mother Lin and Zhao Weiji's mother Wang discussed over and discussed the eighth day of the eighth month of this year (Yongxi second year, 985 AD).

It was finally the day of the wedding. Early in the morning that day, Zhao Weiji was pulled up by Yun Xiang and washed and dressed up carefully. Then he took out the court uniform that Zhao Weiji had worn when he was in court when he was the Duke of Zhao Weiji County to help him change it. It turned out that the marriage was in official uniforms. If it was Bai Ding, he could also allow him to borrow the ninth-rank official uniforms to wear this day.

Zhao Weiji, who had never been to court after traveling through time, was the first time he wore this court suit. After dressing neatly, he had to perform temple ceremony to celebrate the ancestors' family temple and show that he was going to get married. It was just because Zhao Weiji's ancestral temple was the Taimiao of the Song Dynasty, so he could not perform this temple ceremony, so he changed it to return to the Wei Palace to salute his father's tablet.

At the same time, he performed a dipping ceremony at the Prince of Wei's Mansion. His elder brother Zhao Weizheng gave a solemn explanation to Zhao Weiji on behalf of his father, and then he set out to pick up Chai Yu at the Duke of Zheng's Mansion.

Originally, Chai Yu and his mother had already moved out of the Duke of Zheng, but because they had to get married, they finally left the house for the Duke of Zheng.

Zhao Weiji rode a horse and led the wedding team to the Duke of Zheng's mansion and could not go in immediately, so he had to wait outside the door. Because the woman was also proclaiming the temple ceremony and the dipping ceremony of the girl. After the ceremony, Chai Yu also had no father, so his elder brother Chai Yongqi reluctantly replaced the woman's father to welcome Zhao Weiji into the door, and also gave Zhao Weiji a few words in a fake manner. Since today was his happy day, Zhao Weiji had to listen to this annoying brother-in-law's speech with a delight.

After the elder brother-in-law's "teaching" was over, he finally welcomed Chai Yu out of the back hall and then took him back to the Duke's Mansion of Anding County.

At this time, Zhao Weiji was almost exhausted, but the wedding was not over yet. After taking Chai Yu back to Anding County Duke Mansion, he began to hold the most important part of the wedding, where the same prison was the same. This prison was the meat of the newly married man and woman eating the same livestock. When he drank the wine here, Zhao Weiji realized that he had been fooled for more than ten years. He and many people from later generations always thought that the wine was the wine they called later. When he drank it, he shouted that he was fooled. It was right to drink the wine as a wine, but it was a exchange of cups. The man and woman exchanged the wine glasses prepared in front of him, and the wine glass was bitter. After the wedding, he symbolized the couple's joys and sorrows. Then the ceremony was considered to be.

After realizing the experience of the Song Dynasty wedding, Zhao Weiji realized that he knew that the wedding was not lively at all and there was no ritual and music. However, the etiquette was very complicated, but the whole process was extremely solemn.

Just when Zhao Weiji thought that the wedding chamber would be able to be bridal chambered after the marriage was completed, he was disappointed again. After the marriage chamber was completed, your groom should go to the outer hall of the mansion to have a big banquet for guests.

The giftee started the wedding dinner, and it was not his own business. As the bride, Chai Yu also had to entertain the female guests who came to the middle hall.

This time he got married, his brothers, former friends and four or six sons of the Yang family came. Then Zhao Weiji's fate was imagined. Although the wine brewed during the Song Dynasty was not too high, his brother was so soul-wrenching that he did not bring his former body liver. In addition, a group of people took turns to pour him into him, and soon he was almost dead.

The reason why he was not killed was entirely because he had to support his firm belief that he persisted. After sending all the guests away, Zhao Weiji went to the toilet and vomited once, and then asked someone to prepare water to take a shower.

After all this was done, he walked to the wing room. He was a husbandryman for two lifetimes and finally got married.
