Time flies and it’s the end of February.
Spring came early this year, with new leaves sprouting from the branches and jasmine flowers blooming and swaying in the spring breeze.
Yunchu stayed up almost all night. He just squinted a little and was pushed awake.
"Chu'er, don't sleep, get up quickly."
Seeing that Yunchu turned over and got under the quilt, Lin had no choice but to lift the quilt.
"Today is your special day. Don't miss the auspicious moment. Listen to the snow and the wind and pull your master up."
The two maids came forward and helped Yun Chu sit up, one on the left and the other on the right.
Yunchu opened his eyes with difficulty.
Last night, some women from the clan came over to talk to her, talking about how husband and wife should get along after marriage, and the conversation lasted until almost midnight.
Although you have been married once, it does not mean that you have experience. You should be nervous or nervous, and you should be unable to sleep or unable to sleep.
She thought of many, many things, things from her previous life, things that happened in this life, all kinds of things passed through her mind like a fleeting glance...
Yun Chu sat in front of the mirror, and the two Five Blessing Possessions were dressing her up, and they were full of happy words.
When the bride's makeup was done, she almost woke up and put on the complicated wedding dress under the care of Po Xi.
This wedding dress is completely different from six years ago.
At that time, she was getting married, and she was worried about the Xie family's face. The wedding dress was embroidered according to the rules of a small family, and it was not grand enough.
And now this dress... Because the wedding was too hasty, the Ministry of Rites arranged embroiderers. Together with the embroiderers from the Yun family, hundreds of embroiderers embroidered this exquisite and gorgeous wedding dress in just one and a half months.
The entire wedding dress is covered with gold and silver threads, and the patterns are mandarin ducks, flowers, double happiness, group branches... It pays attention to a century-old marriage, happiness and contentment.
"It's so beautiful!" Xipo couldn't help but praise, "Putting this outfit on, the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital is not worthy of the young lady."
By this time, it was getting light.
Some women from the Yun family came in to add makeup to Yun Chu.
Most of them are a piece of cloth, a hairpin, or a bracelet, that's what it means.
The married Yun Ran also came back, and specially prepared some extra makeup for her eldest sister. In addition to a set of hair and face, she also gave her a red bellyband that she had embroidered for Yun Chu.
Yun Chu smiled and asked, "How have you been lately?"
Yunran leaned close to Yunchu's ear and said shyly in a low voice: "The doctor saw me a few days ago and found out that I was pregnant. It was just over a month old. My husband said that I couldn't tell others until three months ago, so I told my mother and eldest sister. Please keep it a secret."
Yun Chu looked at her concubine's appearance and smiled with spring. She had been married for more than four months and still had such a smile, which was enough to show that the Dai family really treated her well.
She gave her concubine a new and happy marriage.
She can be happy too.
A group of people were talking with Yun Chu when they heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the front yard.
Yun Chu knew that Chu Yi was here.
The Yun Mansion has been full of guests for a long time, and there are still many guests arriving one after another. The carriages and horses are blocked, and the servants have been clearing the way. Fortunately, it does not affect the arrival of the wedding team.
There were bursts of firecrackers.
The sound of gongs and drums is loud.
Chu Yi, who was dressed in a red groom's outfit, got off his tall horse wearing a big red flower.
At the entrance of the Yun family, in addition to the guests, there were also the men of the Yun family. Yunze led seven or eight Yun family brothers to block the door.
This is a wedding custom in the capital. When the man comes to welcome his bride, the woman's brother needs to test the man with questions before he can take the bride away.
After the matchmaker said a few auspicious words, Chu Yi stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master Yun, please give me some advice."
Yun Ze stood on the steps with his hands behind his hands: "The test of my Yun family is divided into literature and martial arts. Which one will you choose, Your Majesty?"
Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "Literature."
Yunze was slightly startled.
Six years ago, on the day Chuer married Xie Jingyu, he asked the same question, and Xie Jingyu also chose literature.
The same answer reflects a completely different personality of a person.
Xie Jingyu reads a lot, so it’s not surprising that he chose literature.
King Pingxi was a military commander, but he also chose literature...
"Good Lord, please listen to the question. For the first question, I will give the first couplet, and Your Majesty will give the second couplet." Yun Run beside him said softly, "Okay, okay, okay, okay, stop."
Chu Yi has been studying martial arts since he was a child. Although he also studied at the Imperial Academy, he was not good at it.
After pacing back and forth for two times, he said, "Look, look, look, look at Yunshu."
Yunrun paused with his fingers.
The original second line of this couplet is, sit, sit, sit, why not sit, which forms a clever artistic conception with the first line.
Although Chu Yi's second line is slightly inferior, it fully reflects Chu Yi's state of mind at this moment. He probably wanted to look at Yunchu, but it was too straightforward, so it became Yun Shu. A poem said, "Look at the clouds in the sky." Juan Yunshu, he used this idea cleverly.
"Your Majesty, this second line is very wonderful." Yun Run smiled and stepped back to let another Yun family member come forward.
Yun Yi stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there is a problem here. Suppose your Majesty is traveling and comes to a forked road. He doesn't know whether to go left or right. There is an old man standing on each side of the road. However, one always tells the truth, and the other always tells the truth. One of them only tells lies, and the prince can only choose one person to ask one question at this time. How can the prince find the right path?"
As soon as this question came up, the guests nearby were a little confused.
One tells the truth and the other lies. The key is that I don’t know which one is true and which one is false, so I don’t know whether the answer to the question is true or false.
This topic is too tricky.
Yun Yi was a little proud. He had looked through several ancient books and found a difficult problem.
He thought Chu Yi would ask for a reminder.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yi raised his lips and spoke slowly: "I will ask the old man on the right. If I ask the old man on the left, what will he answer?"
As soon as these words came out, Yun Yi was stunned. How could a warrior who fought in the army be so smart?
The program standing behind Chu Yi scratched his chin: "What do you mean, what do you mean, I don't understand..."
Chu Yi was getting married today and was in a very happy mood. He explained: "If the old man on the right only tells the truth, then he will answer the wrong way. If the old man on the right only tells lies, he will answer the wrong way."
The program was confused. Why could he not understand such a simple question...
"Your Majesty is so smart." Yun Yi admired him and asked others to step forward.
Among the men of the Yun family, Yunze and Yunrun were the ones who excelled in studying. The questions given by the others were relatively easy. Chu Yi passed all the tests and got to the last person, who was Yunze.
Yunze's expression was a little complicated.
The scene of Xie Jingyu's wedding six years ago is still vivid in my mind. He was obviously the number one scholar back then, but his answers to similar questions were unsatisfactory.
If he couldn't answer, he would just let it go and show his face.
Afraid that the wedding day would be too ugly, the matchmaker smoothed things over and ended the test early.
Why didn't he realize at that time that Xie Jingyu was not worthy of being a husband?
Yunze looked at Chu Yi, and their eyes met.
They are both smart people, and they all understand the deepest emotions in each other's eyes.
After a long time, Yunze stepped aside: "Your Majesty, please."
