Chapter 460 Extra: Marriage 2
The best embroiderer in Shangpin Pavilion hasn't been home for a month.
More than a dozen people gathered together, each with their own division of labor, to do only one thing, which was to prepare wedding dresses for the future Princess Yong'an.
When the dress was first sent to her, everyone was very surprised. The reason was that the style was very different from the usual wedding dresses for the bride.
The most intuitive thing is the weight of the dress. According to past experience, a well-made and luxurious wedding dress would weigh at least ten kilograms, while this dress weighs only three or five kilograms at most.
It is said that this wedding dress was designed by Prince Yong'an himself. But it was just a rumor, and no one had the courage to ask the owner if it was true.
Speaking of their boss, he is truly a god-like figure...
The embroiderer was thinking about these things in her mind when she suddenly heard a pleasant male voice coming from outside. It was their boss!
Everyone's eyes lit up. They didn't have many opportunities to meet their boss, and they felt as happy as drinking honey when they could see a person like that a few more times.
So everyone stopped what they were doing and waited for the person outside to come in. Recently, the boss would come over every now and then, and he was very concerned about this wedding dress and would not allow any mistakes to be made.
Even if the embroiderer accidentally adds a few extra stitches, she must redo the work immediately; she is not allowed to let the mistake go unsolved!
As expected, Fu Qiuyang came in quickly, carefully checked the embroidery work in everyone's hands, and gave some instructions before leaving.
Everyone's eyes were still fixed on the back of the boss. The manager couldn't help but knock on the door frame and said unhappily:
"Everyone has left, and you're still looking! Hurry up and come back to life. The wedding dress must be ready by mid-March at the latest. Don't you have any idea?!"
After being scolded by the manager, everyone calmed down and soon lowered their heads and started to move their fingers, not stopping until it got dark.
Why don't you light the lamp and continue working? You must be kidding me, what if you accidentally burn a hole in the wedding dress?!
……
The tenth day of April is Prince Yong'an's wedding day, and the news has spread throughout the capital.
But what is puzzling is that it is already the end of March, why is there not even someone cleaning the streets?
Prince Yong'an was a prince whom the Emperor valued very much. When the prince got married, the whole capital was bustling with activity for seven consecutive days, and the bluestone floors of the entire Chang'an Street were brushed so brightly that they were mirror-proof.
On the day of the prince's wedding, all the shops on Chang'an Street were closed.
Although the people were allowed to watch, there was a majestic guard with a sword standing every half a meter on both sides of the street. Although the scene was lively, everyone was well-behaved and no one dared to cause trouble.
Although the Third Prince is not as noble as the Crown Prince, the difference can't be that big, right?
For a time, not only the local people, but even the major families could not help but discuss it in private.
Among them, the patriarch of the Nanrong family was the most confused.
Ever since Imperial Concubine Jing followed the Fourth Prince to his fiefdom, the Nanrong family's position in the court has been declining. To make matters worse, the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital was also dismissed from his position last year for dereliction of duty.
In addition, his youngest brother took over Xinglin Academy and drove away most of the Nanrong family members, so it was no longer under his control.
The entire Nanrong family's descendants are of mediocre talent and are lazy. Within thirty years, their Nanrong family will probably fall to the bottom of the top ten families!
Restoring the relationship with the third prince, now Prince Yong'an, is still urgent and is the top priority of the entire Nanrong family.
The clan leader Nan Rongyue had tried to show goodwill to the Yong'an Palace more than once, but was always ignored.
Now that the wedding, which should have been a grand one, has not happened yet, he feels that this is a good opportunity to ease the relationship between the two families.
After much deliberation, he first wrote a letter and sent it to the Yong'an Palace. After waiting for two days without receiving any news, he invited several elders from the clan to discuss it for half a day, and finally decided to express his sincerity with actions.
So, starting from the first day of April, the servants of the Nanrong family and a group of young people in the family were sent out, some of them were busy cleaning up Chang'an Street and Ning'an Street.
Some of them bought large quantities of red silk and wedding candies, and even went to money shops to exchange a cartload of copper coins.
It is said that Princess Yong'an loved wild flowers the most, so she went to the outskirts of Beijing to buy a large number of fresh flowers to decorate the entire Chang'an Street.
In short, a lot of things were prepared, both commonly used and uncommonly used, and money was spent like water. They were just waiting for the tenth day of April to help the Yong'an Palace hold a dignified wedding.
But they never expected that they would wait until noon but still would not see the wedding procession coming out of the palace.
Nan Rongyue, who was waiting anxiously at home, didn't even have time to drink a sip of water the whole morning. If it weren't for his status, he would have wanted to go out and see what was going on.
"No news yet?!" he yelled at the door.
Soon someone came running in from outside, panting and reporting:
"Reporting to the clan leader, no, no wedding procession was found! Did we remember the date wrong?!"
"fart!!!"
Nan Rongyue, who was always upright and steady, swore rarely. Not feeling satisfied, he swept a pile of books on the table to the ground with a wave of his hand.
"Go check immediately to find out what's going on!"
The servant ran out tumbling and crawling, almost tripping himself. But he did not dare to stop for a moment and ran out again in a hurry.
The person who was being talked about by people all over the capital was currently in Dengzhou Prefecture, holding a simple yet solemn wedding.
Shangguan Chong rejected Xuanyuan Yan's offer to give him a house and chose an exquisite three-story house in Dengzhou Prefecture. The title deed was written in the name of his youngest daughter.
When their daughter gets married, she naturally has to have her own home. In the future, this house will belong to the youngest daughter, so if she has a quarrel with her son-in-law, she will not be left with nowhere to go.
Baili Nanqing prepared 188 sets of dowry for her daughter, but in order to keep a low profile, most of them were still kept in the capital.
But for the sake of dignity, she gathered together eighty-eight loads of corpses, carried them out of her home, walked around the main road of Dengzhou Prefecture, and then went straight to Dengyun Mountain.
The Yong'an Palace in the city was just a decoration, and Xuanyuan Yan spent all his time on building a house on the mountain.
In order to prevent his family from being disturbed, he directly divided Dengyun Mountain into two parts. Visitors could only go up the mountain from the west side, and the entire east side belonged to the palace.
The wedding banquet was simple because only the closest family members and friends were invited to attend the ceremony, and there were three tables of people in total.
The place where the newlyweds worshipped heaven and earth was chosen to be a garden full of flowers. I don’t know what the trick was, but there were only butterflies but no bees even though there were so many flowers.
The refreshing fragrance of flowers permeates everywhere, and the scenery of the garden is unexpected yet extremely pleasing to the eye.
Everyone was almost intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, and at this moment, the bride in a glittering red wedding dress came slowly, led by the groom.
Baili Nanqing and her husband sat at the top. The moment they saw their daughter, they couldn't stop crying.
She had originally planned to keep her daughter until she was at least 18 years old before allowing her to marry, but she was coaxed away at the age of 16. Why did she have the heart to agree to it? !
