Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1507: Legend of the Hidden Sea 27

It was impossible for Zang Hai to really ride in a sedan chair into the palace, nor was it possible for him to really bring out a large dowry, so Xiao Jinyue rode a maroon Dayuan horse, circled the inner city, and then calculated the time to go to Zang Hai's house to pick him up. In addition to his own prince's ceremonial guard, he also brought another horse to replace the sedan chair.

There were also best men and bridesmaids in ancient weddings, but they had another more pleasant name, best man and bridesmaid.

Because this wedding was too special, Xiao Jinyue brought with her unmarried sisters of the same generation who were within the fifth degree of mourning. Since Canghai had very few friends, Mingxiang Antu went over to serve as best men with the two young masters of Yongrong Palace.

Of course, the door-blocking show was also indispensable, so Xiao Jinyue had to arrange several poems in advance. Finally, after unlocking an exquisite Lu Ban lock, she finally saw Zang Hai, who was smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.

Today Zang Hai was going to bid farewell to his teachers and leave with Xiao Jinyue. The main hall was arranged with seats for Zang Hai's parents and his other teacher Xingdou. Also present were Gao Ming and Liu Chu, but they declined the main seat and sat in the guest seats below the main seat, one on the left and one on the right.

Xiao Jinyue was very happy to give Zang Hai enough face, so she bowed slightly as a way of paying respects to Zang Hai's parents and teachers, and Zang Hai was of course more willing to bow to the end.

Gao Ming and Liu Chu were dressed in new clothes. They really didn't expect that Cang Hai would make such arrangements. They didn't expect that Xiao Jinyue, the King of Qinghe, would be willing to give them face. For a moment, they were so excited that they couldn't even utter a coherent sentence. They just looked at Cang Hai and Xiao Jinyue with tears in their eyes, worried and grateful.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the bridesmaid hurried forward to persuade them. Xiao Jinyue then held Zang Hai's hand and walked out of the Zang Mansion with him. They both mounted their horses and set off. This time they needed to go to some prosperous areas in the outer city.

With such a huge amount of money in her hands, Xiao Jinyue would of course find a place to spend it, but she seldom gave money directly. For example, today when there was a big wedding in the palace, she would rather buy all kinds of snacks and fruits and have someone distribute them, rather than follow the example of other powerful families in the capital to give out copper coins.

People who picked up the money would not necessarily spend it, but would directly buy snacks and fruits. This at least allowed the fruit farmers in the suburbs, as well as the grain and oil shops and snack shops to make a fortune while also placing purchase orders.

As the theory goes, as long as money is handled as many times as possible, the country will reach a point where it doesn't need to spend money. Xiao Jinyue is always practicing and promoting this, so the Qinghe Palace not only sent out the two orders for snacks and fruits, but also a large number of decorations.

Of course it was necessary to worship heaven and earth, but it would be inconvenient to go into the palace for this purpose, so Emperor Zhenshun quietly left the palace, and after Xiao Jinyue and Cang Hai worshipped heaven and earth, he hurried back to the palace.

As for the guests that need to be dealt with next, it is not just Xiao Jinyue who needs to show up, and Zang Hai cannot just wait in the bridal chamber like an ordinary bride.

Prince Yongrong originally wanted to rescue Kuai Duo, but something happened suddenly and Kuai Duo did not meet up with him as planned. Even though he saw Kuai Duo's house in the city on fire at that time, he did not dare to act rashly. Even Zang Hai was taken away, so he thought that Kuai Duo's family was really wiped out.

But at this moment, looking at Zang Hai, who was dressed in red and had an outstanding temperament, even though he secretly disliked this guy for looking more like Kuai Duo, he had to admit that he had grown into a handsome man who could charm many women.

Prince Yongrong went over with a wine pot to drink with Canghai, "Today you are my nephew's husband. Our prince has suffered some grievances since he was a child, but he got them back one by one with his own hands. You should learn from this."

King Yongrong said this not only for Xiao Jinyue, but also to remind Zang Hai not to have any second thoughts about Xiao Jinyue, as Xiao Jinyue would not tolerate this.

How could Zang Hai not understand the straightforward words of Prince Yongrong? He just smiled foolishly and said yes.

Xiao Jinyue's situation was more troublesome, as she had to entertain the female guests and show up in front of the male guests. Fortunately, her identity and status were extraordinary and high enough. Apart from Prince Yongrong and Princess Yongrong, who could be considered her close elders, the others present were only some clan relatives who were about to be out of the fifth degree of kinship, so there was no need for her to be too affectionate.

In fact, it was the female guest who had been pestering Xiao Jinyue for a longer time. In this world, even girls from powerful families are subject to many restrictions. First, there was the empress dowager who reviewed memorials and managed affairs for the late emperor, and then there was Xiao Jinyue, who was younger, more capable and had encountered good opportunities. Of course, the girls who were interested wanted to follow Xiao Jinyue's path.

If it really doesn't work, at least you can give me some advice.

Of course, it is impossible to expect Xiao Jinyue to say something useful in such an occasion, but it is necessary to leave at least an impression.

The wool business made huge profits, but because of the relationship between the Queen Mother and Prince Linzi, this huge profit was not even distributed to the court, and the civil service group did not get any of it. The bulk of the profit was still in the hands of Emperor Zhenshun and Xiao Jinyue, father and daughter, even though it seemed that a lot of it was shared with the military generals guarding the border.

The pie of power is only so big, but money seems to have no limit, so there are too many people who are jealous of Xiao Jinyue. Especially after seeing this luxurious wedding scene that might not be seen for another twenty years, many members of the royal family felt jealous and extremely jealous.

No one dared to try to get Xiao Jinyue drunk. Even Zang Hai was forced to give him three cups of honey wine diluted with water because Xiao Jinyue arrived quickly. After the guests in front left, Xiao Jinyue and Zang Hai walked towards the bridal chamber hand in hand.

There are still rituals to be completed in the new house, such as drinking the wine together, spreading the tent curtains, and tying the hair.

The small wine glass used for the wedding ceremony was specially gifted by the palace. The cup body was made of the horn of a white rhinoceros. It was as thin as a cicada's wing and translucent. It was also engraved with auspicious patterns of a happy marriage for a hundred years and inlaid with red and blue gems. It was really exquisite.

The cup base is a magpie inlaid with gemstones in red gold, and the rim of the cup is inlaid with a circle of honeysuckle patterns, also made of red gold. The overall look is exquisite and luxurious, without any rustic feeling.

The matchmaker watched the special couple shyly drink the wedding wine, and after a series of auspicious words, she led them to start spreading the wedding wine. After that, they went to wash up separately. Cang Hai looked reluctant to leave, which really made the female officials led by Shen Mudan watch the fun to their heart's content.

When the two of them changed into bright red pajamas and came out, their hair was half-displayed on their backs and shoulders. Zang Hai had an idea and asked Shen Mudan for a dagger. He cut off a strand of hair and begged Xiao Jinyue with his eyes eagerly.

Xiao Jinyue had no choice but to take the small and exquisite dagger from Zang Hai's hand, picked up a strand of hair, cut it off and handed it to him.

Zang Hai was indeed famous for his ingenuity and dexterity. He quickly made a love knot, carefully secured it with a red string, and placed it carefully under the pillow. Only then was he satisfied.
