Chapter 165

After some ministers went to Nanjing and followed Yingzong, all the ministers who remained in the capital resumed their original duties. Hu Changning also regained his status as a royal guards town envoy. In addition, Yang Chendong is still the commander of the royal guards. It is normal to send some royal guards to help.

Not only that, Yang Chendong also ordered that every royal guards who came to help would give 100 Liang silver as a reward afterwards. For a time, the royal guards have been fighting for this task for a long time. All royal guards who can come here are lucky.

The time is approaching. Before Yang Jiazhuang's carriage arrived at Hu's house in time, Yang Chendong in a white suit walked out of the spacious carriage and the wedding ceremony officially began.

Shenxianju's band had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as Yang Chendong arrived, the voice of vocal music sounded. You can hear it clearly a few streets away.

Hu Yan, dressed like a fairy in a white wedding dress, came to Yang Chendong with the company of qiaoyin, snow lady and bride who were also dressed in a wedding dress. Hu Yan, who was blushing, perfectly explained what it was called to close the moon and shame flowers.

Different from the other girls, there are two children only five or six years old standing behind Hu Yan. One man and one woman mean golden children and jade girls. They pull up a corner of the white wedding dress, which can not only prevent the floating wedding dress from falling to the ground, but also highlight her atmosphere.

There is no red cap, which is what Yang Chendong means. After reporting to the Hu family, he received their support. In this way, Yang Chendong took his bride Hu Yan who could walk independently to the Hu family main hall, where he knelt down to Hu Changning and his wife.

The completion of this step was completely recorded by the camera. It can be seen from the camera that Hu Changning and his wife's faces are very tight. It is obvious that they are also frightened by the equipment that can take a human figure.

After worshipping the high hall, Yang Chendong took Hu Yan out of the door of Hu's house and went out all the way. The courtyard was filled with all kinds of things Yang Chendong gave to the Hu family. I won't introduce the types. In short, someone has counted afterwards that the total value of these things has reached as much as one million Liang silver. Just this number, I don't know how many people have been scared. It has also become one of the best talks of the unprecedented and future generations in the capital, because even the emperor would not be willing to take so many good things.

From this matter, we can also see that Yang Chendong attaches importance to Hu Yan.

Immortals are already overcrowded inside and outside. In order to congratulate the owner on today's wedding, all diners are given a 50% discount on their consumption. Even ordinary people who don't come here for consumption can receive a delicacy when they come outside the immortal residence. The premise is that the family must come together. At least the couple should bring a child and bring their own lunch box. All the children who come here may receive a delicious little cake.

The news was released three days ago. By the time of the morning, the whole street in front of the immortal residence was full of people, so that the royal guards responsible for the safety here had a great increase in their tasks. Fortunately, the people who came to pick up delicious food and pastries were very disciplined. They went in and out, but they were not so flustered.

After coming out of Hu's house, Yang Chendong, the groom, drove a carriage with four women, Hu Yan, Qiao Yin, snow lady and Xiang lady.

Yang Chendong, who was driving the carriage, was afraid to sing the big sedan. He followed Hu Mang and others who had learned to sing below.

"When the sun came out, I climbed the hillside and reached the top of the mountain. I wanted to sing. The song floated to my sister. She laughed when she heard the song..."

The cheerful voice was singing from Yang Chendong's mouth. Sitting in a spacious and comfortable carriage, Hu Yan's several women looked happy. Looking at the colorful balloons around the carriage, their faces were filled with happy smiles.

The carriage passed by the street outside the immortal's residence from Hu house. Along the way, new songs came out, all of which were happy songs for the occasion. It was fun to hear the people who followed and watched the excitement all the way. When passing the street outside the immortal and looking at the crowded scene there, Hu Yan's four women looked at each other and smiled. This is not only the young master's doing good deeds, but also the performance of accumulating virtue. Although it costs some money, in the view of several women, this move is more far-reaching and significant.

The carriage finally left the capital and came to Yang family village under the protection of royal guards. At this time, there were many carriages and sedans outside the Yang family villa. Many ministers in the court were waiting for the arrival of the new couple.

However, I only came to the capital for more than a year and less than two years. But Yang Chendong proved his strength through his own efforts. With money and power, who won't sell this face? Not to mention, the granddaughter of Hu Zhe, the Minister of rites, was married this time.

Under the witness of many distinguished guests, Yang Chendong took Hu Yan's arm and came to the main hall of the Yang family, where the two principals had long been seated on the table.

Yang Rong and his wife are gone, and Yang Chendong's marriage leader has become his eldest brother Yang Gong and eldest sister Yang Fei.

Yang Chendong's wedding, the Yang family came, even the second brother Yang rang also mingled in the crowd, but it was obvious that his face was not very good-looking. I thought that the sixth brother was dead, and he, the second brother, could occupy his family property openly. Unexpectedly, Yang Chendong came back again, still so strong and returned, and was even granted the title of loyal and courageous Hou.

It was really difficult to predict the world, and Yang rang lost all his face. It was Yang Chendong's wedding that invited all the Yang family, including the capital, to send wedding invitations, but the second brother didn't send anything.

This has proved Yang Chendong's attitude. Even so, Yang rang still came by himself. He knows that this may be an opportunity to change the relationship between himself and his sixth brother.

Above the high hall, Yang Gong is on the left and Yang Fei is on the right. He accepted Yang Chendong's kneeling ceremony with his new daughter-in-law Hu Yanxing.

At the insistence of Yang Chendong, he only completed the ritual method of worshiping heaven and earth and the high hall. As for the third step into the bridal chamber, the trip was cancelled.

According to Yang Chendong, women are not only at home, but also can do many things they like. This is also called emancipation of women, that is, emancipation, let's start with our own wife. After communicating with Hu Yan in advance, the other party didn't want to enter the bridal chamber too early and wait for a long time. He agreed to the other party's request and allowed him to change into a beautiful cheongsam. Then he reappeared in front of everyone and toasted the guests with himself.

When the ceremony enters here, it is the beginning of the wedding banquet. For important officials, the banquet is also one of the work. There are many things that are hard to say and difficult to do, which are often completed lightly when the cup is handed over.

Yang Chendong's wedding gave everyone such an opportunity to communicate. For a time, you come and I go among the ministers. It's not lively.

But the excitement reached a climax after the bride Hu Yan and Qiao Yin changed into a decent cheongsam.

Yang Chendong announced in front of everyone that today is not only a day for him to marry Hu Yan, but also a good day for Na qiaoyin, snow lady and Xiang lady to be concubines.

Listening to Yang Chendong's public announcement, the three women of qiaoyin who were completely unaware of it were flushed with excitement. They thought they could be very happy to follow dongshuai. They didn't dare to ask for anything in their capacity.

Unexpectedly, happiness came to their bodies so quickly and suddenly.

In this regard, Hu Yan looked at them with a beautiful smile. She was not surprised at all. Obviously, she should have known the news before and must have agreed. Otherwise, Yang Chendong would not do such a thing in public.

It was on the same day that he married his wife and concubine. Although such a thing did not happen, most of the protagonists who did so were extremely desolate people. However, Yang Chendong is not a dazed person.

Here I would like to say that the general public believes that it is normal for emperors and generals to have wives and concubines in groups, which is also taken for granted. It is not true that the ancient Chinese were polygamous.

Many modern people know ancient China through film and television works or online novels. At the same time, they often define the social environment and culture of that era with the interpretation of drama. Therefore, when the dramas are court dramas such as the legend of Zhen Huan, the biography of Ruyi, the strategy of Yanxi and whether you know it or not, it is easy for the general public to take for granted the situation of the emperor's wives and concubines in groups and believe that the ancient Chinese were polygamous. In fact, what we don't know is that the marriage mode of Chinese people since ancient times is mainly monogamy, rather than the stereotyped polygamy and monogamy.

"163 of the code of the great Ming Dynasty" clearly records the punishment methods of violators: "for ordinary people, those who have a wife take a wife, also stick 90, divorce. If their people are over 40 years old and have no children, they will listen to marry a concubine. Violators will be flogged 40."

But the rules are not absolute. Very few people will take concubines.

However, concubines are mainly taken by those with high social status. In other words, the higher the status class, the more concubines will be taken. Therefore, the number of concubines taken by Royal relatives and relatives is naturally the largest, followed by dignitaries and rich people, and civilians in cloth clothes have few opportunities to take concubines. Therefore, concubinage is a privilege of dignitaries in Chinese traditional culture.

In the fifty seventh volume of the code of the Ming Dynasty, it is clearly pointed out that the number of concubines to be married and the number of concubines to be married must be judged by the Ministry of rites. The prince and the prince have four concubines. The eldest son and the general's concubine.

Yang Chendong is a loyal and courageous Marquis, and taking three concubines is not how out of line, but why didn't he explain it in advance? Even though everyone doesn't know, doesn't it mean that this matter has not been reported to the Ministry of rites for the record?
