"Out of the palace!"
On Vermilion Bird Avenue, the citizens of Chang 'an who had been waiting for a long time exclaimed when they saw the red coming out of the palace.
Suddenly, many citizens rushed to both sides of the street to watch the wedding procession. However, everyone's eyes were focused on the big red sedan in the center. Everyone knew that the eldest princess of the Tang dynasty, Princess Changle, was sitting in it.
"Mo Jiazi is so lucky!"
"I heard that Princess Changle is gentle and well-educated. She is not arrogant at all. Meton is so lucky."
"That's right. Princess Changle controls the Red Cross Society and has saved many people. She is a living Bodhisattva in this world."
…
People on both sides of the street were talking about it.
"Be quiet and maintain order. If you delay the princess's auspicious time, you will be held accountable." A yamen runner on the side of the street maintained order.
The wedding of the eldest princess of the Tang dynasty was a big event that naturally alarmed the Chang 'an county government. There were already yamen runners on duty on the street to clear the road so that the wedding procession could pass quickly. Naturally, there would be no farce like in the future where people stopped the procession and asked for money.
However, Meton was not stingy. He specially arranged a wedding carriage to throw candy and copper coins to the people on both sides of the street.
"Thank you, Princess Merton."
"May you be together for a hundred years!"
"May you have a baby soon!"
"May you grow old together!"
…
Many people grabbed a lot of copper coins and candy and could not help but give their blessings loudly.
Voices of blessings entered Princess Changle's ears, causing her to involuntarily feel both bashful and blissful.
Meton's wedding procession was all horse carriages. Although they deliberately slowed down, they were still much faster than the sedan carried by people. They moved quickly on Vermilion Bird Avenue.
Coincidentally, today was an auspicious day. It was not only Meton and Princess Changle who were getting married on this day. When the wedding procession was halfway through, it happened to meet another wedding procession.
This wedding procession happened to use the traditional wedding procession. The matchmaker was in front, and the sedan was carried by eight people. Except for the groom who rode a tall horse, the rest of the procession were on foot.
The bridal procession had set off much earlier than Moton. The county yamen runners didn't stop them. Instead, they allowed them to move to the side. After the clip-clop of hooves, Moton's bridal procession caught up with them.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
Meton saw that the other party was getting married on the same day as him.
"Congratulations to you, congratulations!" The groom naturally knew that's the groom wanted to take the opportunity to congratulate Meton and wanted. However, before he could say more words of his congratulations, he found that Meton's speed.......... of the four-wheeled carriages...............
"Using four-wheeled carriages?" The groom stared at Meton's new operation, dumbfounded.
He looked at the carriages that sped past him and then looked at his own slow procession. He couldn't help but feel regret in his heart. If he had known in advance that he could do this, he would have also chosen a four-wheeled carriage as the wedding carriage to escort the bride.
Just a moment ago, he had been blackmailed by a group of sedan bearers. If he did not give enough red packets, the sedan bearers would deliberately bump the bride and make her suffer. If he used a sedan, he would not have to suffer the sedan bearers' pain.
Even the bride in the sedan could not help but lift the curtain. Seeing Princess Changle's sedan speeding past, she naturally felt a little unbalanced. However, she was still well-educated. After all, it was Princess Changle. Naturally, there was no comparison. Moreover, it was the first time that a sedan had appeared, so it was understandable.
The citizens of Chang 'an couldn't help but nod in approval at the convenience, speed, comfort, and grandeur of the bridal procession. After the comparison, there were naturally no more objections. When Moton had set off, there were still many stubborn people who objected. Now that the bridal procession had returned, everyone knew that using four-wheeled carriages to escort the bride would become a new trend in the Tang Empire.
Although Meton's wedding procession did not let the horses gallop, it was still not slow. Soon, they arrived at the Mo Mansion.
"The bride is here!"
Wu Meiniang, who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, immediately shouted when she saw the wedding procession arrive. She was still young, so she was naturally very excited about the wedding.
Immediately, everyone in the Mo Estate rushed out to welcome them. Modun took the lead, dismounting as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Mo Estate. The other carriages continued to advance until Princess Changle's bridal sedan arrived at the main entrance of the Mo Estate.
"Invite the bride to get off the sedan." Following Fu Bo's loud shout, Liu E stepped forward and opened the door to the bridal sedan, supporting Princess Changle, who was wearing a phoenix coronet and a red wedding gown, down. Immediately, everyone's gazes focused on the new bride.
"Step on the brazier!" Uncle Fu shouted.
On the side, Mo Jiazi's younger brother immediately placed a burning brazier at the gate of the Mo Mansion. With Liu E's help, he stepped over the brazier.
"Shoot an arrow and pray for blessings!" Uncle Fu shouted again.
Meton took a bow and arrow from Tie An and took out three arrows wrapped in red silk instead of arrowheads. He shot three arrows at Changle's back to show that he wanted to get rid of the bad luck the bride had been carrying along the way.
"Step on the saddle and pray for the safety of the family!"
… …
With Uncle Fu's shout, Princess Changle and Meton both did as they were told. The ceremony seemed complicated, but it represented the desire of the people to avoid evil and pray for safety. Meton and Princess Changle did not become impatient at all.
After completing the complicated ceremony, the two of them could not help but let out a heavy sigh of relief. All they had to do was wait for the auspicious hour to arrive before they could get married.
Suddenly, a report rang out from outside the Mo Mansion, making the two of them stop.
"The Duke of Lu, Cheng Zhijie, has sent a congratulatory note to congratulate Merton and Princess Changle on their wedding."
Many guests could not help but nod. The Duke of Lu, Cheng Zhijie, had always been very close to the Mo Mansion, so it was only natural for him to send a congratulatory note. Moreover, the Duke of Lu was a duke, so Meton and Princess Changle obviously had to wait here.
As soon as the report had finished, two more reports rang out.
"The Duke of E, Wei Chi Jingde, has sent a congratulatory note to congratulate Merton and Princess Changle on their wedding."
"The Duke of Yi, Qin Qiong, has sent a congratulatory note to congratulate Merton and Princess Changle on their wedding."
… … …
All of a sudden, three dukes had sent congratulatory notes, making the wedding seem even grander.
However, this was not the end. More reports rang out.
"The Duke of Zhao, Zhangsun Wuji, has sent a congratulatory note to congratulate Merton and Princess Changle on their wedding."
"The Duke of Shen, Gao Shilian, has sent a congratulatory note to congratulate Merton and Princess Changle on their wedding."
… … …
As the reports rang out, congratulatory notes from the founding ministers of the Tang dynasty were presented one by one, causing an uproar. Even some of the dukes who had little contact with Meton also sent congratulatory notes. After all, Changle was the Princess Royal. Even if they did not like Meton, they had to give face to the royal family.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Today was Meton's big day. No matter who came, Meton naturally welcomed them. He could not help bowing and thanking them.
Some of the palace maids who accompanied Princess Changle on her wedding could not help but raise their heads and puff out their chests. They looked proudly at the brothers of Mo Jiazi around them. They believed that these dukes must have sent congratulatory notes for their Princess. They could not help but feel superior in their hearts.
However, they did not feel proud for too long. Another report rang out.
"The Zu Family of the School of Mathematics has sent a congratulatory note! Congratulations to Merton and Princess Changle on their wedding. "
"The Zu Family of the School of Mathematics? Could their ancestor be Zu Chongzhi?" A guest said in surprise.
"I think so. After all, Meton is in charge of the School of Mo, which is also one of the Hundred Schools of Thought. It is reasonable for the Zu Family to come and congratulate him." Someone nodded.
Qin Huaiyu looked at Zu Mingjun in surprise and said, "The Zu Family is also here."
Zu Mingjun nodded and said, "Meton proposed that the Zu Family and Master Li jointly implement compulsory education. This is an opportunity for the school of mathematics to prosper. The Zu Family naturally remembers this great kindness. When they heard that Meton is about to get married, they sent an elder to congratulate him."
"The Zu Family is very considerate." Qin Huaiyu nodded.
Zu Mingjun shook his head and said, "Among the Hundred Schools of Thought, the Zu Family is not the only one who has received kindness from the School of Mo. I think the Zu Family is not the only one who has come."
Sure enough, before Zu Mingjun finished speaking, another report rang out.
"The School of Medicine, Sun Simiao, has arrived to congratulate Merton and Princess Changle on their wedding."
"The King of Medicine is also here!" Suddenly, many people could not help but be moved. The name of the King of Medicine, Sun Simiao, was like thunder to their ears. In Chang 'an City, you could offend anyone but Sun Simiao, because you could come to beg him at any time.
"How can the Old Man not come to Meton's wedding?" Sun Simiao walked in like a sage. Now, in the School of Medicine, there were two people who were the pillars of the School of Medicine. One was Sun Simiao, and the other was Hua Yuan. One of them was skilled in internal medicine, while the other was skilled in surgery.
However, Hua Yuan could be said to be Meton's family. Naturally, he would not send a congratulatory card with great fanfare. Therefore, the School of Medicine could only have Sun Simiao come. Moreover, Princess Changle was also Sun Simiao's disciple in name.
"In the future, the two of you must love each other as husband and wife, and live happily together for a hundred years." Sun Simiao advised.
"Thank you, Elder Sun." Meton and Princess Changle bowed and thanked him. They did not expect Sun Simiao to come in person.
"Li Chunfeng of the School of Taoism congratulates Merton and Princess Changle on their wedding."
Following the announcement, Li Chunfeng in a Taoist robe appeared in front of everyone, causing an uproar.
"Even the School of Taoism is here!" Everyone could not believe it.
"Han Zheng of the School of Legalism congratulates Merton and Princess Changle on their wedding."
"Yan Shigu of the School of History congratulates Merton and Princess Changle on their wedding."
…
The congratulatory cards from the School of Philosophers arrived one after another, giving everyone one surprise after another. The serious arrogance of the palace maid who accompanied Princess Changle on her wedding day gradually disappeared. Although the nobles in the imperial court had a respectable status, the School of Philosophers also carried a lot of weight. Even if the group of heroes who contributed to the founding of the country sent congratulatory cards because of Princess Changle, the School of Philosophers also came because of Meton.
"The School of Mo's Dengling branch sends a congratulatory card to congratulate Merton and Princess Changle on their wedding."
"The School of Mo's Xiangfu branch sends a congratulatory card to congratulate Merton and Princess Changle on their wedding."
Two consecutive announcements were heard, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned. After the Mo Family was divided into three parts, the Mo Family's son and the Mo Family's village suddenly emerged as a new force. The other two branches were extremely unconvinced, and they didn't expect that they would send a congratulatory invitation today.
In fact, it was not difficult to understand. Although the other two branches were unconvinced by Meton, after all, Meton had directly increased the influence of the School of Mo by several times. His contributions to the School of Mo were obvious to all. No matter how biased the other two branches were, they had to admit this fact.
However, this was not the end. With the final announcement, the atmosphere of Meton's wedding was pushed to the climax.
"The School of Confucianism congratulates Merton and Princess Changle on their wedding."
"The School of Confucianism is here too!" No one dared to believe their ears. With this, it could be said that all of the Hundred Schools of Thought had arrived for Meton's wedding.
Everyone could not help but click their tongues. Not only did the High Dukes of the Imperial Court send congratulatory cards to Meton and Princess Changle's wedding, even the Hundred Schools of Thought had come to congratulate them. Such a grand display could be said to have never been seen before and would never be seen again.
"This is probably the grandest wedding in history." A sense of pride rose in everyone's hearts.
Perfect love, lovers finally getting married, congratulatory cards from the nobles, blessings from the Hundred Schools of Thought … There was probably no other person who could gather so much glory.
