Chapter 77 The major event in life is marriage [2]
Li Zhiyun had never heard of any of the elders of the Yang family. There was only one Yang Shidao who had just fled from Luoyang. Li Zhiyun had some impression that he was the prime minister of Emperor Taizong later.
By the way, this guy was originally supposed to marry Princess Changguang and then give birth to the idiot son who had an affair with his aunt. But now that Zhao Cijing is still alive and well, it is naturally impossible for Princess Changguang to marry Yang Shidao again.
Yang Shidao's father was Yang Xiong, King of Sui Dynasty. Yang Xiong had two younger brothers, one was Yang Da and the other was Yang Shigui.
Therefore, Yang Shidao is Yang Shigui's nephew, and now he is Li Zhiyun's uncle.
Among the three Yang Xiong brothers, the most famous one should be Yang Da, because this brother had a daughter who was only married at the age of forty-four. Later, this old woman gave birth to a daughter named Wu Zetian.
Therefore, in terms of seniority, Wu Zetian and Li Zhiyun, who were not yet born, were actually the same generation.
Of course, there is no point in pursuing seniority in the Tang Dynasty. If history is followed, Yang Shidao should marry Princess Changguang next, and by then he will become Li Zhiyun's brother-in-law.
But the problem is, damn it, now Li Zhiyun is his niece and husband-in-law.
How does this count?
Generally speaking, it's all on its own terms.
I call you brother, and you call me dad.
Yang Shidao is a handsome, middle-aged man.
Lao Li seemed to appreciate Yang Shidao very much and had already planned to give him the position of governor of the state.
"The king of Chu is polite." Yang Shidao bowed his hands.
"I met my uncle."
Among the people in the hall, the only one who could catch Li Zhiyun's eyes was Yang Shidao. Of course, Yang Mudan, the older woman who worshiped the Buddha, was also one of them.
Well, Yang Mudan is Wu Zetian's mother, and she is also the elder of the Yang family who sang with Li Zhiyun before.
Although this woman is a bit old, at first glance it is hard to tell that she is almost forty years old, at most in her early thirties. Li Zhiyun suspects that this has something to do with Yang Mudan's vegetarian diet. After all, this woman has been worshiping Buddha for four years.
Don’t marry at the age of fourteen.
Of course, this woman was only halfway through her life. Historically, she lived to be ninety-one years old.
In terms of appearance, Yang Mudan has passed her most beautiful period, but her body exudes a mature aura due to the passage of time.
Yang Shidao and Li Zhiyun talked about the little bastard Wang Shicheng from Luoyang and boasted for a while.
After a while, Yang Mudan, an older woman, came over gracefully. She was holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, making her look like an older female Bodhisattva.
"Your Highness, please move."
"Good work."
Li Zhiyun followed Yang Mudan to his wife Yang's boudoir.
As they walked on the road, the distance between the two people would grow longer and shorter, and Li Zhiyun could smell the sandalwood fragrance on Yang Mudan's body.
Ma De, Samurai Yu, this old prostitute, must be a good mature woman.
You are also a Cao thief, right?
Because Li Zhiyun was walking behind her, he realized that this older woman had such a big butt and thin waist, and she was swaying from side to side in a way that made people feel uneasy.
Gan!
Withdrawing his gaze, Li Zhiyun took two steps forward to join him.
"Auntie worshiping Buddha?"
"Yes." She spoke softly.
Li Zhiyun asked again: "Where should I practice?"
"Yangci Temple."
"My aunt is really a female Bodhisattva." Li Zhiyun said with a smile.
"Your Highness has already said that I am practicing cultivation on my behalf, but I really don't dare to be so overstepping the bounds of etiquette."
As he was about to arrive at his wife's boudoir, Li Zhiyun did not continue teasing.
Seeing his newlywed wife, Li Zhiyun thought he saw a fairy, and was stunned for a while, which made the young girls of the Yang family laugh secretly.
Some people say that the most beautiful moment for a woman is when she puts on her wedding dress. In the past, Li Zhiyun thought those people were bragging, but now he realized that it was because of himself.
Damn, this daughter-in-law I picked up for free is so beautiful. With her figure and appearance, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is "alluring to the country and the city". No wonder Emperor Taizong in history couldn't control it and even made her his queen.
Who the hell can withstand this?
"Uncle, go home and watch. If you look at my sister, she will have flowers on her face." A bold girl from the Yang family teased.
After saying this, Li Zhiyun smiled nonchalantly. No bullet could penetrate his cheek. Yang, on the other hand, blushed so cutely that her head was buried in two balls of life. She didn't know whether it was because of shyness or because of it.
The headgear is too heavy.
Yang was also worried that Li Zhiyun would recognize her, but now it seems that she is overthinking it.
What she didn't know was that Li Zhiyun didn't remember the veiled maid that day at all.
Yang Mudan held back her smile and reminded: "Your Highness, don't miss the opportunity."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun retracted his thoughts, bowed to Mr. Yang, then reached out and took his wife, and walked down to the boudoir together.
Yang's palms were all sweaty, probably because she was nervous.
After bidding farewell to Yang Shigui in the main hall, Mrs. Lu took her granddaughter's hand and said, "Yue Niang, after you marry, remember to be filial to your parents and live in harmony with your brothers..."
Mrs. Lu transformed into the eighth wife, and Babu said a lot of words.
By the end, Yang was in tears. Perhaps at this moment, she truly felt the fear of leaving home.
The wedding team left the Yang Mansion and then headed to the imperial palace.
They should have gone back directly to the palace, but Lao Li and Concubine Wan Gui were still waiting for their son and daughter-in-law to serve tea in the palace. Therefore, they had to slightly change the process and go to the palace first and then return to the palace.
The bells on the corner of the carriage jingled, and a large circle of Chang'an melon-eating crowds gathered on the roadside. Li Daoxuan and Li Daozong turned into tool men again, scattering Kaiyuan Tongbao and cloth at the same time.
After receiving the benefit, the people in Chang'an did not hesitate to praise and bless him.
Not long after, Li Yuanji's wedding team joined them and headed to the palace.
Li Yuanji is dressed like a human being today, unlike before, which makes people feel hard to describe.
The two newlyweds met their parents in the harem, and then took their wives home.
Li Yuanji's mother was gone, so he had to go to the Ancestral Temple to burn paper.
Later, Zong Zhengqing Li Shentong solemnly added the names of the two princesses to the royal family tree.
It was already noon when we returned to Prince Chu's Mansion. After the final wedding ceremony, my aunt and Princess An finished reading the congratulations, then entangled Li Zhiyun's and Yang's hair and placed them under the jade pillow.
"We are married as husband and wife, and our love for each other is unquestionable."
Princess Tong'an said: "I hope you can live your life together happily."
After saying this, Princess Tong'an called for the enthroned boy, then put down the Baizi tent, and then gave another obscure congratulatory speech.
After procrastinating for more than an hour, it was finally over.
Afterwards, everyone dispersed, leaving Yang and her two dowry maids alone in the new house.
Understand, Li Zhiyun has to go out to receive guests, and he can't do it without drinking two drinks.
Since the two kings held a wedding banquet at the same time today, many royal families were rushing to the party. The King of Qi came to the Prince of Chu's Mansion after drinking, and the King of Chu went to the Prince of Qi's Mansion after drinking.
The same is true for Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
However, as if they had agreed, they staggered to each other and did not appear at the same time.
Originally, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin should have brought their wives to the house. After all, they were brothers getting married. But unfortunately, the eldest sister-in-law had given birth to a fat son and was in confinement. The second sister-in-law was expecting a baby, so she couldn't come.
After drinking with the clan relatives for half an hour, Li Zhiyun went to the courtiers' tables to drink for half an hour, and finally he went to drink with his confidants.
The confidants were arranged in another courtyard. There were not many people, just a dozen or so.
Originally, there were only three confidants: Du Ruhui, Duan Zhixuan, and Xie Shufang. Later, Du Ruhui felt that his arrangement was inappropriate, and strongly requested that Xue Shou, Xue Yuanjing, Chu Liang, Chu Suiliang, Qin Qiong and others be arranged together to facilitate their familiarity with each other.
Li Zhiyun thought about it and agreed.
There is no need to pay much attention to drinking with one's own friends. It only depends on how happy you are.
Then, they drank till midnight.
The brothers couldn't stand it any longer, so they dispersed.
