Chapter 529 Yue Ruyan Enters the House
Time flies, and soon it comes to January 21, the second year of Yong'an, the day when Chen Mo took in his concubine.
In fact, taking a concubine is very simple. To put it mildly, it is just like buying and selling an item.
At the beginning, the two sisters Xia Zhiqing, Xiao Yunxi, Liang Xue, etc. had never held a wedding, so Chen Mo just gave them a name and that was it.
The reason why today's concubine taking was so solemn was because Chen Mo had already promised Yue Ruyan's eight large sedan chairs.
The cold wave has not yet receded, but the streets in the city are bustling with people, bustling with people, various stalls crowding the roads, and an endless stream of pedestrians, creating a prosperous scene.
Xiangyang City is indeed prosperous, because Linzhou is currently the most stable and orderly state in the world, which naturally attracts wealthy businessmen from all over the world to do business and settle down.
As the economy improved, Xiangyang City naturally had money for construction. Later, as Chen Mo's reputation and power grew, he also attracted aristocratic families and literati, so more and more private houses were built in Xiangyang City. More and more shops are opening.
In just two or three years, the population of Xiangyang City alone has exceeded 500,000, and it is still increasing gradually.
Chen Mo is getting married today, and both businessmen and common people want to get a good start.
Yue family.
This is a house with two front and back entrances. The inside and outside are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, showing a festive atmosphere. The neighbors all come out of the door and stretch their necks.
Yue's mother was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. She was now standing in her daughter's room, dressed festively, and said with a smile: "Ruyan, when you enter the Chen family, you have to respect the men properly. The Chen family is different from our Yue family. It’s not that women are in charge, men are very concerned about face.”
At this moment, Yue Ruyan is sitting in front of the dressing table, wearing a red wedding dress. A young woman with parents and children is wiping the velvet off Yue Ruyan's face and cutting her forehead and temples neatly. Open face.
Hearing her mother's words, Yue Ruyan, who was already a little nervous, couldn't help but said in shame: "Mom, Ruyan understands that you have said this more than once."
"Mom knows that you don't like to listen to her if she talks too much, but the rules are like this. You are a first-time married woman, so I will explain it clearly to you, lest you lose etiquette and let the Chen family say that our Yue family has no family. People teach.”
Yue Mu came to Yue Ruyan and said with a smile: "In addition to respecting men, you also have to respect the head of the backyard. She is the legitimate daughter of the Wu family in Jiangdong. She has support. There is also Han Anniang, that She is the sister-in-law of An Guogong. Besides these two people, there is also Princess Huai, who is the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family. Apart from these three people, you don’t have to give in to others like Ruyan. "
Except for these three people, in Yue's mother's opinion, they are all small families. If they are not run-down families with no one to support them, the Yue family can afford to offend them.
Yue Ruyan nodded slightly.
Yue Mu smiled and said: "From now on, I can be regarded as the mother-in-law of the Duke of Guo. Originally, seeing that you were getting older year by year, Ruyan, I didn't think about recruiting a son-in-law, but now you are getting married. We, the two of us, are also going to separate."
She, who was originally joking, started wiping tears.
The Yue family is headed by women, so the women in the Yue family only marry to find a son-in-law. Therefore, Yue's mother never thought that Yue Ruyan would marry to another family, so even if her daughter is older, Yue's mother is not in a hurry. about her marriage.
But now that the time has come, Yue Mu is still reluctant to part with her.
Yue Ruyan looked at her tearful mother, her eyes flashed, and she couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness in her heart.
At this moment, there was a sound of joy outside the house.
The laughter of the servants sounded outside the house, and then a slave came in with a red handkerchief and said with a smile: "Madam, Master, the sedan chair from Duke Anguo's mansion to receive the bride is here."
At this moment, outside Yuezhai, there was a roar of gongs and drums, endless joy, and the queue to welcome the bride was even more impressive.
Only some spectators who didn't know the details were talking about it.
"Didn't Duke An Guo take concubines? Why did he do it as if he were marrying a wife, or in a sedan chair with eight carriages?"
"You don't know this, right? Do you know who this concubine is?"
"Who?"
"The current head of the Longyou Yuezhi family, his ancestor was the king of Nanyue Kingdom, and he himself is still a third-level warrior. Now he is marrying Duke An, even if he is a concubine, the standard must be huge."
"Hiss, no wonder, with this status, even Duke An Guo must be respected."
"I don't need any respect. Now it's the Yuezhi who is fawning over our Duke An."
"Speaking of it, An Guogong is really powerful. The princesses, princesses, and even the former princess and queen are now the women of An Guogong. It's really enviable."
"..."
"Come out, come out, the bride has come out." Just as the people were talking about it, a group of people came out of the gate of Yuezhai.
The people are eagerly looking forward to seeing the bride's beauty. Although they know it is impossible, they still want to join in the fun.
Even after the bride got on the sedan chair and left, they all watched her.
On the other side, An Guo Gongfu.
backyard.
Chen Mo didn't need to pick up the bride by himself, he was waiting leisurely.
At this moment, Xia Zhining walked in and joked: "Aunt Eleven is here."
Chen Mo's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. Indeed, after Yue Ruyan came in, the queue was already eleven.
"Zhining." Xia Zhiqing glared at her sister, telling her to be more serious.
"I'll deal with you later at the party." Chen Mo also glared at Xia Zhining, and then said to Xia Zhiqing: "You guys wait here, I'm coming over."
Originally, there was no need to worship heaven and earth when taking a concubine, only tea was offered to the principal wife.
But the eight-man sedan chair had already left, so this was not a big deal.
Arrived at the front hall.
Wu Mi was sitting on the armchair in the hall at this moment, also dressed up, but she was pregnant, and even if she sat solemnly, she gave people a feeling of being approachable.
"Someone is coming."
Yi Shiyan said with a smile as she entered the hall.
Wu Mi looked intently, and saw a tall maid supporting a bride in a red wedding dress and a red veil, walking into the hall.
Wu Mi said, "Go and see if your husband is here."
Yi Shiyan was about to call when she heard a familiar voice.
"Mi'er, I'm here."
Chen Mo, dressed in a groom's uniform, walked over from the side hall.
Yi Shiyan was even more excited than Chen Mo, and hurriedly said, "Husband, go and hold the bride's hand to worship heaven and earth."
Chen Mo nodded, looked at Yue Ruyan in a red wedding dress, walked over, and took Yue Ruyan's Rouyi from the maid's hand.
At this moment, Chen Mo could clearly feel Yue Ruyan's body trembling.
"Relax, I won't eat you." Chen Mo laughed softly.
After a simple worship of heaven and earth, Wu Mi's personal maid came to Yue Ruyan with a cup of tea.
Under Chen Mo's guidance, Yue Ruyan took the teacup from the maid, held it with both hands, and said to Wu Mi: "Sister Mi, please have tea."
These words seemed to have used up all of Yue Ruyan's strength.
