Chapter 150: Double Dynasties

Capital City, Cao Mansion.

When he woke up in a daze, Cao Yong still habitually wiped under the pillow. After touching for a long time, he opened his eyes. The red tent reminded him that this was his new house, not a Kwaiyuan.

Cao Yong sat up and looked into the kang, but it was empty.

"Well, are you awake?" A slightly shy voice in joy.

Cao Yong looked at him in line with his speech. In front of the window, the little woman in a red flag dress was looking at him with a hint of shyness. He looked out the window again. The sky was getting whiter, but it was not bright: "Chu Yu, why did you get up so early? Didn't I tell you yesterday? My father and mother are not here, so there is not so much talk!"

Chu Yu pointed to the dragon and phoenix candle that was about to burn out in front of the screen and replied: "We forgot to guard the flower candle!"

There is this wedding custom at this time, that is, two newlyweds sit and watch the flower candles all night, mainly because they are afraid that the candle will be leaked and there will be unlucky signs. The left candle means the groom, and the right candle means the bride, and who will die first will die first. In order to get the husband and wife to have a life and die together, the other candle must be extinguished immediately when one candle is extinguished.

Cao Yong put on a piece of clothes and got out of bed, walked to Chu Yu, and looked at the pair of red candles. Although he didn't believe these things, it was a wedding after all, and it was normal for people to avoid misfortune and seek good luck.

However, the red candle on the left was burning fast, and was about to burn to the end. Cao Yong smiled, not knowing whether he should be glad that he would not be a widower or whether he should worry that history has not changed.

Although Chu Yu was dressed neatly, it might be because she was inconvenient to comb her hair, and her hair just scattered softly behind her shoulders. She also stood in front of the screen, looking at the red candle, her brows frowned slightly.

Cao Yong stretched out his arm and held her left hand, and smiled and said, "I'm older than you!"

Chu Yu held Cao Yong back with his soft little hand, but he still stared at the red candle on the left. After a while, the red candle was about to burn out, and the wick fell on the bright red wax oil.

Seeing the candlelight gradually faded, Cao Yong's mood suddenly felt sad. Even when the candlelight went out, the red candle on the right was almost extinguished at the same time.

Cao Yong looked at the red candle with only half of it left and turned his head to look at his little wife.

Chu Yu put down the round fan in his right hand, pursed his lips, smiled at Cao Yong, his face full of joy.

Cao Yong couldn't help but smile, it was already bright outside the window. The two of them stood hand in hand, and no one spoke for a while.

Someone started to walk around in the yard. The day after the wedding, it was also called "Shuangchao". Cao Yong wanted to take Chuyu to worship the gods, Buddhas, and clan relatives. Although Cao Yin and his wife were not in the capital, the Prince Ping and Cao Yi and his wife were coming here.

On the Cao Mansion, Zi Jing brought people over, but it was difficult to call the door. Among the people who were dowrying in the Chun Mansion, it was not easy to come forward because they were just a new arrival. Everyone was stationed left and right in the yard, and it was very clear.

Zhu'er Cui'er looked at the maid who was dowed by the mistress with a few more thoughts, and the more she looked, the more she felt unsure. These eight people were all wearing the same style of bungee-colored flag dress, and their appearance was outstanding. One of them was even more outstanding, and their appearance was even better than everyone else.

The man seemed to notice someone looking at her, and raised his chin and looked here, but his expression was faint.

Cui'er quickly turned her head to avoid it, but Zhu'er pursed her lips and looked back at the man, she was not timid. So what about the prince's mansion? She wouldn't she still work in the same mansion in the future.

The maid was a little surprised. She looked at Zhu'er for a few more times. Seeing that she was well dressed and stood up front, she knew she was decent and nodded slightly.

Zhu'er smiled and nodded in return, then withdrew her gaze and looked in the direction of the main room, but her heart was very disturbed.

Standing in front of the eight dowry maids was Chu Yu's wet nurse, Madam Ye, who was in her forties, was a little rich and smiling, and looked very kind. When she saw that the room had not moved, she looked at the sky and smiled and said to Amethyst in a low voice: "Miss Amethyst, there is also He Hong's joy, and she also wants to worship the gods and Buddhas clans. It is not good to miss the auspicious time!" In fact, she wanted to call the door, but because she didn't know that the princess had a temper and was afraid that it would touch his bad intentions, the princess would be embarrassed.

Before the dowry came, the Grand Marshal specially admonished that although there was no son-in-law in the mansion here, he should not act arbitrarily and touch the darkness of the Prince Chun's mansion. Madam Guarjia and Madam Essuri, both privately explained that the affairs of the inner house here were under the charge of an elderly maid and should not be neglected.

Zi Jing saw Madam Ye’s concern and said with a smile: “Madam is right!” As she said that, she walked forward two steps to the window and called out tentatively: “Master, Princess, have you gotten up?”

Just now, Madam Ye talked to Zijing, and although she lowered her voice, Cao Yong and Chu Yu stood in front of the bed, she heard it. Chu Yu is the new bride, and on the first day, everyone was waiting outside, with a little shyness and anxiety on her face.

Cao Yong whispered and comforted: "It's not a problem!"

Chu Yu looked up and saw Cao Yong full of concern and encouragement. He nodded vigorously, took a deep breath, gradually fading away his shyness and being very dignified.

Hearing Amethyst called out the window, Cao Yong replied: "Yes, I'm getting up!"

There were footsteps outside and the sound of lifting the curtain. Chu Yu hurriedly pulled out his hand from Cao Yong's hand. Zhu'er and Cui'er came in holding Cao Yong's official uniform. Because of the worship for a while, they had to dress solemnly. Almost all the people who came in with them were the dowry maids.

Zhu'er and Cui'er met Chu Yu for the first time. Although the two ladies and the Changlai Baoya Gege were both beauties, the person in front of him was not inferior. They all bowed down and bowed: "I have seen the princess, please pay tribute to the princess!"

When Chu Yu saw the two of them coming in to serve Cao Yong in dressing, he knew that he was serving him in close proximity, so he shouted and asked the maids next to him to receive the reward. They were all prepared before entering the door, each with a pair of gold bracelets.

Zhu'er and Cui'er leaned over to thank him again, and then received the reward.

Several dowry maids also paid tribute to Cao Yong, but the rewards Cao Yong were prepared by Amethyst.

Amethyst originally prepared the clothes for the two of you in the outer hall with Madam Ye, and when she heard the invitation from inside, she knew that she had neglected and did not tell the things that Cao Yong had prepared to be in the sandalwood box on the treasure grid outside. She had to call Huan'er and ask her to send them to Cao Yong.

Although Zi Jing had nothing to avoid when treating Cao Yong as her youngest brother in her heart, she was not allowed to wash up because the princess was inside, for fear that she would not be solemn to treat her like this.

When Madam Ye saw her, she looked up to Amethyst a little more respectful to her and admired the rules of the servants of the Cao family. She thought about telling the maids that the rules were indispensable and made people laugh.

Cui'er and a dowry maid came out and brought in the washing items.

Amethyst and Madam Ye both stood in the hall and waited for the two masters to come out.

Although Mei Jing is old, she is at the girl's house. Madam Ye was worried that she would be uncomfortable, but she didn't expect that she would look calm and secretly amazement in her heart.

According to the rules of offering sacrifices to the kitchen, the male parents should have burned incense, and the new couple kowtowed three times, then took off the statue of the kitchen god who was temporarily held and burned it in the courtyard with some paper money. Because Cao Yin was not in Beijing and Nersu was his brother-in-law, it was not suitable for a parent for someone from other surnames, so Cao Yong personally burned incense and then worshiped Chu Yu.

After worshiping the Kitchen God, he went to the Buddhist temple in Lanyuan to worship Buddha. The procedure was similar to that of the Kitchen God. However, Cao Yong followed the rules and read a few words of blessings, such as "the family of men, the great family of people, the marriage of rituals, and the marriage of Siyuan", "Marrying Aixin Jueluo Chuyu, and inheriting the ancestral sacrifices together", "

The wedding is completed, and the special announcement is made, etc.

Because they also wanted to worship the ancestors' ancestral halls, there were no ancestral halls here, so the ancestral seats were temporarily set up in the upper room of the Lanyuan Courtyard. Cao Yong and Chu Yu kowtowed three times, and took the bride to worship the ancestors, and prayed to "look at Ji Zhaojian and bless them."

After this bowing, Cao Yong was fine, but Chu Yu saw sweat on his forehead. Cao Yong hurriedly supported her, thinking about whether to persuade her to replace the tiring flower pot. The little maid informed him: "Uncle, concubine, prince, third girl, third aunt and the others arrived at the front hall, and the second master was there with him. Sister Zijing asked me to ask the uncle if he was going to go there now."

Chu Yu's face showed a hint of nervousness, and Cao Yong held her hand: "Don't be afraid, sister, brother-in-law, you have known each other for a long time. The third sister, brother-in-law and second brother are both younger than us!"

In the front hall, everyone heard that Cao Yong and his wife were worshiping each other, and they were waiting patiently. Cao Jia held his sister's hand and spoke, while Nersu and the others sat on the chair on the other side. When they heard that the bride was about to arrive, Cao Yi, Seshtu and Cao Song all stood up, and Cao Jia sat down to her husband's head.

Cao Yong came in with Chu Yu's hand, which attracted everyone's attention. Chu Yu became more and more nervous. Cao Yong walked in generously because all the closest relatives present were all relatives and had no scruples.

There were two Grand Master Chairs side by side, covered with red satin embroidered chairs, which were the location of Weng and Gu. Because Cao Yin and his wife were in Jiangning, they were vacant. The couple only kowtowed to the south to the south. When they got up, they wanted to pay their respects to Cao Jia's aunt first. Because Nersu and Chu Yu were of the same clan, they put married women first and paid attention to them, so they did not receive Chu Yu's rituals, but only Cao Yong's rituals. Next, it was Cao Yi and his wife, and Seshtu also avoided Chu Yu's rituals, and finally Cao Song.

Fortunately, they were all peers, and they all bowed. Then, Cao Jia and Nersu gave the newcomer a respect. Chu Yu took out the prepared gift and gave it to Cao Yi and his wife and Cao Song, which was a meeting gift.
