Chapter 572 In the future, we will definitely be of one heart and one mind
Just when Chun Xueyuan was bustling, the Rong family also arrived at the door of Xie's house. Rong Ci led the matchmaker, Mrs. Cao Guogong, the official matchmaker, and the Rong family with the welcome letter to pick up the bride.
Brothers Xie Jin and Xie Zhuo of the Xie family went to the door to greet them in person. After a few words of greeting, the Rong family were invited into the mansion. Except for those who stayed to guard the float, everyone else followed.
Dongfang Jibai, who came to welcome the bride, was wearing a light purple robe and a red belt around his waist. He stretched out his hand and pulled a young man to a corner. The young man glanced at him and then raised his eyebrows slightly.
Dongfang Jibai let go of his hand and asked, "Why are you here, Your Highness?" This kid sneaked in halfway.
The young man said calmly: "Father told me to come over and take a look and calm down the situation."
This young man is none other than the eldest son of His Highness the Crown Prince, named Youguang, who is still fourteen years old this year.
The new generation of the Li family has the word "Guang" in their name, while the new generation of the Rong Guogong family has the word "日" in their name. They have come to the same destination by different paths and come from the same family. This shows how good the relationship between the two families is.
After speaking, Li Youguang narrowed his eyes and stared at him: "Don't reveal my identity, otherwise..."
"Of course not, of course not." Dongfang Jibai nodded repeatedly and did not dare to provoke him. This was really a living ancestor. Although he was not afraid of anything, he was still afraid of this ancestor.
This man was under the eaves and had to bow his head.
Li Youguang thought to himself, "You know the truth?" When he saw Rong Ci and Mrs. Cao Guogong entering the main courtyard door, he actually showed some relief.
Dongfang Bai saw it and felt his scalp was numb: "Young Master, do you want to go in and have a look?"
"No, just take a look here, so that they won't be cautious when they see me. We are still getting married, not snatching them."
Although Li Youguang did not have any title, he was the eldest son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest grandson of the emperor. He had a transcendent status. When the civil and military officials of the court met him, they also had to salute.
He came here to see if something would go wrong again, but he didn't come to show off.
Dongfang Jibai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, it's good that you know.
Rong Ci and his entourage entered the door, and Mrs. Cao Guogong spoke to several members of the Xie family: "Today Rong Ci comes to marry a girl from your noble family and make a good relationship between the two families. This is the welcome letter. Please take a look at it."
After that, he asked Rong Ci to pay tribute to the elders, and then presented the welcome letter.
Mrs. Xie asked someone to pick her up, and then she opened it and looked at it. The names of Rong Ci and Xie Yixiao were written on it. It also said that she came to marry the newlyweds on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year. Because the wedding date was postponed, the Rong family had to wait for the first two days.
I even came to exchange it for a new one.
After reading it, Mrs. Xie handed it to Xie Yi'an, and then to Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie squinted his eyes and looked at it. After feeling that it was correct, he put it back on the wooden tray lined with red silk cloth.
Old Master Xie said: "Although our Xie family is not as good as the Rong family, you have come to marry her today and you must treat her well in the future. Otherwise, our Xie family will not agree."
Rong Ci said: "I dare not disobey what the old man said. Since she is my wife and the person who will stay with me for the rest of my life, I should cherish her and treat her well and I dare not have other thoughts."
"It is a great blessing in this life to be able to form a relationship with Miss Xie. In the future, we will definitely be of the same heart and will never leave or regret."
Mrs. Cao Guogong was a little surprised when she heard this, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She thought that Mrs. Rong Guogong was really worried for nothing. Isn't she quite good at talking?
You can tell by looking at the satisfied expressions on Xie's family members.
Maybe Rong Ci didn't care about external affairs before, thinking that he could do anything and didn't want to care about it. Now that he cares about it, he will naturally handle things well.
Mrs. Xie nodded: "If you think so, I feel relieved. As elders, we naturally hope that you can live a good life. Life is long for decades. As a human being, we need to be filial to our parents and cherish the people who will accompany us throughout our lives.
, love your children and unite your brothers and sisters, so that you will have no regrets in your life.”
Rong Ci said: "That's what Madam Xie said."
Mrs. Xie said: "The world is full of turmoil, but I hope you will not forget what you said today and will not change your true intentions."
Rong Ci said: "Definitely."
Xie Yian stood up: "In that case, you can come with us."
"yes."
Xie Yian and Mrs. Xie stood up together, led Rong Ci and others out of the gate of Xie's house, and walked toward the ancestral hall.
The current rules in the Imperial City are that on the day you want to marry a girl from another family, you must go to the family's ancestral hall to worship your ancestors and tell the woman's ancestors, "I married a girl from your family."
When the Rong family came, they also prepared various tributes, incense, candles and other items of worship. After the tributes were placed, the incense and candles were lit, and Xie Yian and Mrs. Xie led Rong Ci to worship with three sticks of incense.
Xie Yi'an comforted his ancestors and said: "My ancestors, today the thirteenth daughter of Yi generation is getting married. Her husband's family name is Rong, and her given name is Ci. She will be Rong's wife in the future."
Mrs. Xie said: "Today I also brought him here to pay homage. I hope our ancestors will bless this pair of children to have a happy life, a full family of children and grandchildren, and a long life of blessings..."
Then some members of the Xie family took the three sticks of incense from the three people's hands and placed them on the incense burner in front of the Xie family's memorial tablet. Xie Yian and his wife led Rong Ci to bow three times and kowtow.
There is smoke curling up in the ancestral hall, and the memorial tablets of the Xie family ancestral temple are placed on the high platform, lined up one by one, as if they are countless.
Mrs. Cao Guogong, who was accompanying the family, was a little emotional. The Xie family could be passed down for so many generations. Although it has experienced ups and downs, it has been able to thrive for a long time. It is indeed very capable, and it cannot be separated from the efforts of every member of the family.
If her Cao family could last as long as the Xie family, then she would die in peace.
After the worship is completed, the ceremony is considered complete, and the man is recognized by the woman's clan. Then a few sentences are added to the family tree, like Xie Yixiao, who added on her page that she got married, left the clan, and the man was married in a certain year and month.
The names of the nine sons of the Rong family.
When she marries into her husband's family, she will enter her husband's family tree, and then add the man's page, saying that he got married in a certain year and month, which family the wife belongs to, what her name is, and how she will have children in the future.
I will write down how many children I have and so on.
After worshiping the ancestors of the Xie family, the group returned to the main residence of the Xie family, and then sat and waited for the bride to come out of the palace.
Waiting left and right, the Xie family remained silent, and the people beside them whispered anxiously. Mrs. Cao Guogong then smiled and asked, "I don't know if it's convenient for the house. I'll go see if the bride is ready?"
Mrs. Xie said: "Perhaps she is still putting on makeup. This woman only gets married once, so she needs to be more careful. If you want to take a look, then go ahead. Third sister, please take the Duke's wife to take a look."
Xie Yihui also laughed when she heard this: "What a coincidence, I also want to go and see it, so I'll go with the Duke's wife. Madam, the Duke, please."
