Regarding the matter of getting married, Luo Youdu was somewhat looking forward to it, but also a little at a loss.
He didn't know much about weddings in this era, and aside from the scenes he saw on TV that were just for the sake of looking good, there were only a few lines of records in the book.
Luo Youdu came back from the military camp and wanted to see what he could do, but found that there seemed to be nothing he could do.
There was quite a lot of movement over at Prince Wei's Mansion, but on the contrary, it was relatively deserted here.
Thinking of Fu Qing'er's status, Luo Youdu not only agreed to his somewhat unreasonable request, but also took the initiative to help him recommend talents.
Kang meets again, Kang Baoyi is a very useful father and son, they are brave and heroic, and have strong martial arts skills.
Different people have different styles of leading troops. Kang Zaiyu and Kang Baoyi are the kind of generals who easily integrate themselves into the army and become one with all the soldiers.
They can support each other with the soldiers on the battlefield and depend on each other for life and death, thus forming a powerful force.
This type of person is best suited to fight tough battles and can boost the morale of the entire army with his bloody spirit.
Based on the personalities of their father and son, Luo Youdu incorporated them into the Xuanwei Army and trained them as rare soldiers.
On the frontal battlefield, there are two heavy armored infantry teams of Chang Side and Liu Fu. Kang Zaiyu and Kang Baoyi's training are biased towards attacking fortresses and surprise attacks, so as to bring out the infantry's own advantages in adapting to any combat location.
As for Hu Yanzan, this guy is a talent.
This Luo Youdu is still certain, but Luo Youdu is more inclined to call him Huocai.
Between living treasures and talents...
After getting along with each other for several days, Luo Youdu had a certain understanding of Hu Yanzan.
Is Hu Yanzan stupid?
He is really not stupid, but has a little bit of cleverness.
But to say he is smart would be too offensive to the word "smart".
To describe it in modern terms, Hu Yanzan’s thinking is not in the same dimension as that of normal people.
The way he looks at a simple thing is often so unique and jaw-dropping.
Just like that "killing thieves with a whole heart" Luo Youdu initially thought that Hu Yanzan was only on the chest, but later he realized that he had underestimated Hu Yanzan's determination to kill thieves with all his heart: he was all over his body to his feet, except for his face, which was temporarily clean.
, even the words "Kill thieves with a pure heart" are densely tattooed on his butt.
If he didn't want to be regarded as a pervert, he would have looked ahead to see if there were any.
Luo Youdu was speechless and asked curiously: "You have tattoos of 'Kill the Thief with a Heart of Heart' all over your body. What should you do if you have no place to stab them in the future?"
Hu Yanzan said matter-of-factly: "Don't you still have your wife's son?"
"..."
It was the first time that Luo Youdu admired someone.
No matter what, how can I live up to the deep love and righteousness between a beautiful woman?
"Something has to be done!"
Luo Youdu thought about it, and the word Shili Hongzhuang popped into his mind.
Shili Hongzhuang was popular in Ninghai during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Why not imitate it?
Shili Hongzhuang is too extravagant and wasteful, but why not dress up this North Street?
Life has to be luxurious once in a while.
Luo Youdu thought about this and immediately sent someone to call Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin and other friends to help.
As a result, everyone pretended that something was wrong, so Gao Huaide from next door came.
Luo Youdu laughed and cursed, wrote his thoughts on paper and had someone send it over.
Only then did Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin believe that something was really wrong with him, and they plucked up the courage to come over to help.
There is an advantage to this marriage granted by the emperor.
The Nine-Five-Year-Old Lord has a golden tongue, and Guo Rong's words mean that it is a matter of state.
The details of the wedding are handled by the etiquette department.
Three days before the wedding, officials from the Ministry of Etiquette began a five-hour training for Luo Youdu.
Various etiquette procedures are described one by one.
Worshiping heaven and ancestors, decorating the bridal chamber, laying the bed, etc., one after another.
Luo Youdu wrote them down one by one without any impatience.
Customs are customs, rules are rules.
Respecting customs and abiding by rules is respect for yourself and the bride.
In the blink of an eye, December 26th came.
Luo Youdu rode a white horse without a single hair on its body and walked on the road to pick up the bride.
Beside him are Gao Huaide, Pan Mei and Cao Bin.
As for Shi Shouxin and Han Lingkun, they were not included in the wedding ceremony because of their poor image.
There were fireworks all the way.
Since the emergence of black gunpowder, its greatest use has been to add joy to the occasion of weddings.
Arriving at the Prince of Wei's Mansion, Luo Youdu looked at the palace decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, thinking about which celebrity's makeup-inducing poems he should recite to add to the joy.
Then Fu Qing'er, dressed in Zhai clothes and wearing a red hijab, came out with the louder sound of firecrackers and was carried by Fu Zhaoxin, the son of Fu's family.
Luo Youdu took the first step and couldn't help laughing.
The most fun time for ancient people to celebrate weddings was during the Tang and Song Dynasties, when elegant events continued.
But now it is the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
Those who really occupy high positions are reckless men. If you want them to imitate the elegant deeds of the previous dynasty and write a poem to encourage makeup, you might as well ask them to read a limerick with color.
The special link is the female knights guarding Fu Qing'er on the left and right.
As Fu Zhaoxin carried the bride step by step towards the sedan chair.
Eighteen beautiful female knights who were equipped with scimitars were lined up on the left and right, holding the red horse that represented the celebration, and followed them in unison.
They are all dressed in red uniforms, young, beautiful and well-trained.
As Fu Qing'er entered the sedan chair, eighteen people got on their horses in unison and guarded him on the left and right.
Gao Huaide was accustomed to being a warrior and said softly: "These people's riding skills are extraordinary, and they have at least five or six years of experience."
Pan Mei and Cao Bin looked at their mentor in unison, with strange expressions in their eyes, as if to ask: "Are you afraid?"
However, one of the two of them was taciturn and reserved, and neither of them expressed their feelings about the world.
Luo Youdu said, "What are you afraid of..." After a pause, he added, "They are all girls from the same house."
However, he felt a little guilty when he said it, and he was the only one who heard the voice.
Compared with the elegance of the Tang Dynasty, the customs of this era were obviously much more crude and straightforward.
The procession they returned to Luozhai to welcome the bride encountered a procession blocking the sedan chair.
Then it was very straightforward, just like in later generations, giving out candy, money, wine, and red envelopes to clear the way, simple and crude.
Until North Street.
The procurement of various supplies was prepared in advance, but the red makeup on the long street was completed overnight.
The entire North Street was plunged into a festive atmosphere.
Large and small red lanterns are connected from the street to the end of the street.
Red ribbons flutter like wicker.
The whole long street is covered with red makeup.
The family members responsible for escorting the bride could not help but pause.
The eighteen female knights headed by Fengzhu exclaimed in surprise, their little faces flushed with excitement.
Some of their maids discussed it privately, and it was obvious that their wives' thoughts were clear, but they didn't know what the other party was thinking.
Anyway, I haven't done anything special.
Does it count now?
Fengzhu glanced ahead and then at the maid beside him, feeling quite proud: "I know that my husband cares about Madam Fu."
Fu Zhaoxin also nodded with satisfaction at this moment.
As the eldest son in the family, Fu Zhaoxin is the only one who understands Fu Yanqing.
Compared with his mother, Mrs. Guo Guo, who was eager to marry Fu Qing'er, Fu Zhaoxin stood by Fu Yanqing.
It’s not that Luo Youdu is bad!
But Queen Fu's health was in and out of health, and Guo Zongxun was too young.
If there is an accident and the queen is changed, Guo Zongxun's eldest son will immediately become the eldest son of a concubine, and he may not be able to secure the throne.
Old warlords like Fu Yanqing did not have the ambition to conquer the world, but they did not have much loyalty to the emperor. No matter it was the previous Tang, Jin, Han or the current Zhou Dynasty.
Before that, as long as the old Fu family could guarantee wealth, it would matter whoever became emperor in Fu Yanqing's heart.
But now that the eldest daughter is the queen, and there is Guo Zongxun, the grandson of the eldest son of Zhou Dynasty, the situation is different.
Fu Yanqing's goal changed to making his grandson the emperor, and he made small progress.
Therefore, Fu Yanqing had been conniving at Fu Qing'er's refusal to marry. His original intention was to replace Queen Fu, who was in poor health, and maintain Guo Zongxun's status.
Now that she has become the daughter-in-law of the Luo family, Fu Yanqing is naturally a little dissatisfied.
The same is true for Fu Zhaoxin.
But compared to the older generation who are used to seeing chaos and violence and regard family interests as everything, Fu Zhaoxin still retains the care and concern of an elder brother for his sister.
Luo Youdu rose up against the wind and achieved today's achievements by his own efforts. He is a rare hero in the world.
A perfect match for my little sister.
Now seeing this long street with red makeup, Fu Zhaoxin came to Luo Youdu and said: "From now on, the second sister will be left to you."
Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Don't worry, uncle. That's Mrs. Luo..."
Fu Zhaoxin then laughed.
After passing through the dazzling North Street, we arrived at Luo Zhai.
Fu Zhaoxin, the elder brother-in-law, carried Fu Qing'er into the mansion.
Luo Youdu also took the bow and arrow that had been prepared and shot one arrow at the sky, the ground and the distance.
This is called praying to heaven for blessings, eternal happiness and contentment.
Fu Qing'er was led by her nanny across the brazier, crossed the saddle, and came to the lobby.
Guo Rong, who had been waiting in the side hall for a long time, also came to the lobby at this time to accept everyone's worship.
Guo Rong smiled and excused everyone and said: "I am here today to witness the marriage of my great minister Zhou and the second sister of the queen. I don't want to overwhelm the guest, so don't be too restrained."
Luo Youdu always thought that the so-called worship hall meant worshiping the sky and the earth and worshiping the high hall and the couple worshiping each other.
But in fact, the real three-bow ceremony happened after the Southern Song Dynasty, and it took even longer to complete it in one go.
It wasn’t until someone from the Ministry of Rites gave him some popular science the day before that he realized that the so-called worship in this period was divided into three steps.
On the wedding day, first visit the family temple and perform the wedding ceremony.
Then the next day, we worship in the high hall.
Instead of doing it all in one go.
She led Fu Qing'er to worship the ancestors of the Luo family. The moment she bowed down, she had already announced to them that she was the real Mrs. Luo.
Fu Qing'er went to the bridal chamber first under the guidance of her nanny.
As the head of the family, Luo Youdu naturally had to entertain guests first.
Guo Rong had already left after witnessing the visit to the family temple.
As an emperor, many times it is indeed like being alone.
Luo Youdu looked at the banquet that had been placed on the street and strode towards his battlefield.
He was well versed in the ways of the world, and did not show any hostility to his innermost enemies, but was extremely close to them. Therefore, he had more than 500 guests.
