Chapter 151 Ungrateful II
Brother Huan couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this, and immediately shut up after being hit on the head.
Zhao Ningxiu took a deep breath to calm down, and said slowly: "If I were not virtuous, my second brother would not be able to arrange the wedding today. If it were normal for my second brother to say such words, he would be asking for a beating. Today, it is you. On your happy day, I will spare you!"
Zhao Kuangyin laughed and cupped his hands and said, "Then I would like to thank you second sister for your magnanimity." After saying that, he picked up the empty wine jar on the table and poured it into his mouth.
Zhao Ningxiu stepped forward and snatched the wine jar, "Don't drink any more. How can we spend the wedding night at the wine table? What are you doing in a daze? You didn't help him into the house."
The servants helped Zhao Kuangyin into the back house with all their hands. When they arrived at the new house, the maids who were dowry immediately came forward to serve them. Zhao Kuangyin waved his arms and kicked them out. He left the door bolt and staggered into the inner room.
Opening the door curtain, I saw red candles swaying, and sitting on a big bed paved with brocade, a woman wearing a phoenix harem and a mandarin duck hijab holding a yellow scroll in her hand. Although she couldn't see her appearance clearly, her figure was slim. Her pair of catkins are also fair and slender, so she is probably a beauty.
Zhao Kuangyin turned a blind eye and stumbled to the table in front of the bed. He reached out and took the cut watermelon on the table. He slurped a few times and finished one segment, swallowing all the seeds and meat into his stomach.
He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said to the bride sitting on the bed, "I wonder what reward your Majesty gave me?"
I heard a clear and beautiful voice reply: "Your Majesty has made me the wife of Langya County. To have this honor is to say that I have inherited the blessing of my husband."
Zhao Kuangyin chuckled and said, "I wonder if your appearance is worthy of this title?"
"Whether you are a good match or not, you will know once you lift the hijab."
"Okay! Let me see my wife's talent and beauty!" Zhao Kuangyin held the table with one hand to support his shaking body, and with the other hand he picked up the weighing pole on the table and slowly moved it close to the underside of the hijab and slowly opened it.
The hijab slipped off, and a beautiful face suddenly appeared in front of me. I saw this woman with willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, a beautiful nose and mouth, a face as pink as a powder, and lips like red spots. Her eyebrows were lowered and she was shy, she was really a beauty.
A feeling of déjà vu arose in his heart, as if he had seen these features somewhere before. Zhao Kuangyin frowned and let his brain, which was about to be numbed by alcohol, start to work.
The eyebrows that were about to be twisted into a ball suddenly raised, and the drunken eyes became a little clearer. The weighing rod in his hand fell to the ground, and Zhao Kuangyin shouted one word in a suppressed voice, "Jing..." His thick lips pursed again. I swallowed the following words alive.
The bride raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Kuangyin, "I am so ugly, does it surprise the invincible general in front of the battle?"
Zhao Kuangyin suddenly stood up straight, bowed his hands solemnly, and replied seriously: "Madam, you really surprised me? I never thought that I could have such a lovely wife. Huh? I don't know my wife's maiden name yet?"
"Yuehong? The moon of the bright moon? The rainbow of Hongqiao."
"As her name suggests, my wife is as gentle as the moon and as bright as a rainbow."
Wang laughed sweetly when she heard this, covered her red lips with her green hands and said, "Mr. Lang was born in the army. I thought I was a bold and rugged soldier like my father and brother? I never thought that he is a man who knows the wind and the moon."
"A military man is also a flesh and blood body with seven emotions and six desires. When you meet the person you like, even a piece of fine iron can be turned into soft tissue around your fingers."
Wang was just a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old who stayed at home. She couldn't help but turn her head away from the confession of a stalwart man. But she immediately turned back and said softly: "I will wait for you to wash up."
Zhao Kuangyin cupped his hand unceremoniously, "Excuse me, madam!"
Wang put down the yellow scroll in her hand. She stumbled just as she was about to stand up. Zhao Kuangyin, who was still drunk just now, moved extremely quickly. He stepped forward to support Wang and took him into his arms.
Wang subconsciously wanted to hide away, probably thinking that this was her future husband. She fell directly into Zhao Kuangyin's arms, and a warm voice said in her ear: "But your legs are numb after sitting for a long time?"
Mrs. Wang replied with a cry, "That's right! But it's all right now. I'll wait for you to wash up." She broke away from Zhao Kuangyin's arms, walked to the basin stand with small steps, took a brand new towel and put it on the copper basin.
Rinse and wring dry.
Just when he turned around, he found that Zhao Kuangyin was already standing behind him. Wang stood on tiptoes and took a towel to scrub Zhao Kuangyin's dark face carefully. Her soft little hand took Zhao Kuangyin's big hand, holding the thick and hard fingers, and rubbed it again and again.
scrub.
After washing her hands and face, Mrs. Wang put her long, snow-white index finger covered in green salt into Zhao Kuangyin's mouth, and rubbed it back and forth to clean Zhao Kuangyin's mouth.
Unless it was Wang's hobby, brushing teeth with fingers dipped in salt was the most common way to clean the mouth at that time. This was only available to wealthy people, or brushing with wicker branches, a real toothbrush was about
It can only be found in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Zhao Kuangyin remained motionless and allowed Wang to do what he did to him. There was unconcealable comfort and joy in his eyes, and his expression was of great enjoyment.
After washing up, Zhao Kuangyi grabbed Wang's wrist and said, "Excuse me, madam. Please drink Hexin wine with me!"
The two of them sat back in front of the bed, and the clear wine fell from the celadon spout into the cup. The rich aroma of the wine slowly overflowed. Zhao Kuangyin picked up one of the cups and handed it to Wang. The two of them slowly touched each other with their wine glasses in hand, and each drank.
Filled the glass with half the wine.
Mrs. Wang coughed slightly after drinking for a while, and her face turned red from choking. Zhao Kuangyin quickly put down the wine glass and patted her back gently, "But the wine was too strong and she choked. How can a woman drink ambergris? How dare the second sister say that she is
Virtuous."
"It's okay, I got ambergris from drinking." Wang took a breath and handed her wine glass to Zhao Kuangyin, while she took Zhao Kuangyin's wine glass, and they drank the remaining wine in each other's glass.
It means that there is me in you and you in me, which is the completion of the ceremony of union.
Putting down the wine glass, Zhao Kuangyin pulled out the hairpin, looked around the case, and muttered: "The virtuous second sister didn't even put away the scissors!"
Seeing a horizontal knife hanging on the wall, he took out the knife and cut off a small strand of hair in his hand. He turned around and handed the horizontal knife to Wang. Wang asked with a puzzled look: "What do you want me to do?"
?”
"It's time to tie your hair!"
Wang said with a slight embarrassment on her face: "But I am only the husband's stepmother. Didn't the husband have a hair-tying ceremony before?"
Zhao Kuangyin was slightly startled and replied with a smile: "That's right. Although He was my first wife, because I was young and didn't understand the rules, I didn't marry her on our wedding night. Madam
You are Zhao’s real first wife!”
"Seriously? I never thought that my husband and I would have another layer of fate!" Wang took off the hairpin ring on her head, took the horizontal knife and cut off a strand of hair, and carefully weaved the two strands of hair together.
The four eyes met, and the friendship between them seemed to be stronger.
(Note 1: In the second year after Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he was granted the title of Empress He without a posthumous title. It was not until Wang died that He was given a posthumous title. The He family did not enter the Imperial Ancestral Temple until Wang died and Zhao Kuangyin
A separate temple was built for the Wang family, and the He family's spiritual throne was honored in the Wang family's temple, and it was in the second chamber; the ceremony and ceremony for the third family's reburial were not queen standards, far lower than the Wang family; the fourth Zhao Kuangyin's posthumous title was given to the Wang family
Wenhe sacrificial texts use the phrase "the old sword is deeply in love" many times, which is used to describe his married wife.
