Chapter 135 The Emperor Gives a Name to the Newly Married
Yang Wenyuan and Hua Lan turned around and bowed to Old Lady Sheng, then walked out.

Seeing the hazy figure in a green wedding dress about to leave the door of her house, Wang Ruofu felt a lump in her throat, but she could no longer bear it. She threw away the handkerchief that had already been soaked in her hand, and lay on the table and burst into tears.

The subsequent sobbing sound was almost squeezed out of the throat.

As the bride and groom walked out, the musicians played happy music again, and the maids began to distribute wedding money around.

Rulan stood by the door, and when Hualan came out, she opened a red umbrella over her head, meaning "spreading branches and leaves."

At the same time, the five blessed people selected from the surrounding area began to scatter rice into the sky and on top of the umbrella.

"Press the sedan chair!"

"Get up the sedan!"

Wait for Hualan to get into the sedan chair.

Yang Wenyuan turned over, mounted the horse again, and headed towards his home happily.

Pingyang Houfu.

Today is the wedding day of the young Marquis Yang Wenyuan. No matter how close their relationship is, all the nobles in Bian Jing have sent their wives to attend the banquet. Even if some cannot come, they will send their own sons to celebrate this happy event.

Although the Yuan family of the Earl of Zhongqin's Mansion had some disputes with Yang Wenyuan, their family had just regained the title not long ago, so for today's matter, the Yuan family had no choice but to send someone.

Naturally, it was impossible for the entire Yuan family to go, so they only sent one legitimate son.

But I don't know if it was intentional.

The person sent by the Yuan family was actually Yuan Wenshao.

He had just returned to Bian Jing and had just started working at the Wucheng Bingmasi. He didn't expect to be drafted into the army, and it happened to be Yang Wenyuan's marriage.

Yuan Wenshao was feeling very uncomfortable at this time. He felt that the glances from people around him were mocking him.

At the same time, he secretly resented in his heart: his father had originally said that he would ask his brother Yuan Wenchun to come, but as soon as his father left home, Yuan Wenchun started to play tricks, using the excuse of being unwell to let Yuan Wenshao replace him.

Replacement, why don’t you let me replace your title in the future!

But unfortunately, my mother also followed suit.

There was no choice but for Yuan Wenshao to attend the banquet.

Looking at Yang Wenyuan riding a BMW not far away, Yuan Wenshao felt mixed emotions.

Originally, Yuan Wenshao felt a little resentful towards Yang Wenyuan for snatching his marriage away.

However, as time went by, Yuan Wenshao gradually let it go.

Given my situation, I'm afraid that if another girl married into my family, it wouldn't be any good.

Maybe what Yang Wenyuan said is right...

I should consider taking a concubine for my father to fulfill my filial duty!

The wedding procession arrived at the door.

"Press the sedan chair!"

Then Hualan came out of the sedan chair holding a round fan.

A trusted maid walked backwards in front holding a mirror, supported by Cui Chan and Cai Zan on both sides. They walked on the path paved with green cloth and entered the middle door.

All the way to the main hall.

Yang Wenyuan's parents passed away. Sitting at the top of the table at this time were his uncle Yang Yuqing and his aunt Chen Da Niangzi, and standing next to them were his uncle Liu Qing's family.

"Toast tea!"

Yang Wenyuan and Hua Lan held teacups and served tea to Yang Yuqing and Mrs. Chen respectively.

Next is the ancestral temple.

However, when a newly married couple enters the ancestral temple, they must hold hands and tie a knot.

Liu Lan, the maid of Madam Chen, took out a love knot made of red and green satin from the Yang and Sheng families. Yang Wenyuan held one end and Hualan placed the other end in her hand.

Yang Wenyuan led the child backwards, while Hualan walked towards him, and they took him to the ancestral temple to worship.

Then Hualan walked backwards and Yang Wenyuan walked towards her. Holding the love knot in their hands, Hualan led Yang Wenyuan back to the bridal chamber.

Bed in the house.

Yang Wenyuan sat on the left and Hua Lan sat on the right.

After the newlyweds sat down holding their love knots, the maids began to throw gold, silver, colorful coins, and various dried fruits at them, chanting the following words:
"Good luck and a long lasting marriage."

"The good air is lush and long, and the sun in the hall is like the spring breeze."

"..."The ceremony of spreading the tent is over.

Liu Lan, who had been waiting on the side, came forward and cut a lock of hair from each of Yang Wenyuan and Hua Lan's heads, and used colorful satin, hairpins and combs to tie the hair into a heart-shaped knot. This is called the "Heji" ceremony.

"May you live forever and have good luck!"

After the wedding, two more glasses of wine were served.

The wine cup is made by the jin (jin), a kind of gourd (hu), which is bitter and inedible, commonly known as the bitter gourd. It is mostly used to make a ladle and is used as a wine cup during weddings.

At this time, the people around immediately started to make a noise, with Rong Xian's voice being the loudest:
"Drink, let's drink the wedding wine!"

Yang Wenyuan was thick-skinned and didn't care, but Hualan's fair and delicate cheeks suddenly turned red, and she shyly drank the wedding wine with Yang Wenyuan.

"We will be together forever!"

After drinking from each other's cups, the cups need to be thrown under the bed.

The gourd-shaped wine cup is easy to overturn when thrown, and the upside-down movement implies the compatibility of men and women, the harmony of a newlywed marriage, and also represents happiness.

Then Yang Wenyuan took off the floral ornaments on Hualan's colorful crown, and Hualan unbuttoned Yang Wenyuan's robe and threw them under the bed.

At this time, Liu Lan had already put the couple's hair tied into a heart-shaped knot into a box and handed it to Yang Wenyuan.

Yang Wenyuan took it and placed it under the big red mattress.

This completes the ceremony of exchange of greetings.

Hualan sat in the room from then on, while Yang Wenyuan was dragged by Rongxian to the front yard to drink.

"Let's go, let's have a drink!"

Yang Wenyuan first toasted to his relatives and friends one by one.

Then, turning around, he saw several tables of noble children with green eyes.

Most of these people are people of the same age who used to play with Yang Wenyuan.

Although he was still in a daze, Yang Wenyuan was becoming more and more hopeful about the future.

He passed the provincial examination and won first place. Now he has married a virtuous wife and has achieved success in both love and career...

Yang Wenyuan, you deserve to die!
I don't envy you for passing the imperial examination, but when I see you marrying a good wife, I am really envious and jealous!
Drink, you must drink!
I must get you drunk today, only then can I relieve the hatred in my heart!
Seeing the people at several tables in front of him looking like wolves and tigers, even though he had strong recovery ability, Yang Wenyuan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

At this moment, a eunuch from the palace suddenly came to the door, holding the imperial edict.

The originally lively scene suddenly became quiet. No one knew what order the government had issued at this time.

Could it be that the emperor has issued an edict specifically for Yang Wenyuan’s marriage?
Everyone present felt quite surprised.

Yang Wenyuan, Yang Yuqing and others hurried over to greet him, only to see the eunuch unfold the imperial edict in his hand and read loudly:
"The family is harmonious and the relationship is harmonious. The emperor is generous and kind. But your son, Yang from the Pingyang Marquisate, is named Wenyuan, but he has no courtesy name. I heard about it and specially granted him a courtesy name, Donghuan!"

When the Yang family heard that the emperor had specially bestowed a name on Yang Wenyuan, they were deeply grateful and quickly bowed:

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!"

Yang Yuqing then quickly invited the eunuch to his home for a banquet.

If it were normal, the eunuch would naturally agree.

But now the emperor is still waiting in the palace.

So he didn't dare to stay any longer. He just took the wedding money that Yang Yuqing forced upon him and returned to the palace with a happy face.

This unexpected incident made Rong Xian and others, who originally wanted to get Yang Wenyuan drunk, even more jealous, and they immediately rushed forward.

"Drink, give me some!"

"Drinking so slowly, are you a man?"

"..."

Fortunately, Yang Wenyan is considerate.

Knowing that today was Yang Wenyuan's wedding day, they helped block a lot of alcohol so that Yang Wenyuan would not get drunk on the spot.

There was not a single cloud in the autumn night sky.

The stars are brilliant.

"crunch..."

As the sound of a door being pushed open was heard, Hualan, who was originally sitting quietly on the bed, suddenly had two blushes on her cheeks.
