During the Qianlong period, in The spring of March, red flowers and green willows, warm breezes. A team of royal centaurs escorted a yellow-capped golden mill from north to south. This was the Qianlong Emperor's second visit to Jiangnan.
The voice of the Qianlong Emperor came from within the yuan: "Chuanhe Yan listens to the will." The eunuch shouted, "Pass and lord." When He Yan quickly approached, Qianlong opened the curtains and said, "Where are you?" He Yan said: "Emperor Qi, here is eight hundred miles of Maling Mountain, 50 miles ahead is Wuhua Peak, the local government built a palace for you." "Nice view from here, stay ahead". "The emperor has a will, stay in the front of the Wuhuading Palace."
A little later, Qianlong, accompanied by Liu Yong and Yan, walked out of the palace and came to the waiting hall. Local officials, large and small, shouted long live. Qianlong said: "Dear Aiqing, you are not willing to disturb the people of Li on this southern tour, so you will go back and pass on to you when needed."
After the dinner, Qianlong strolled to the Top of Wuhua peak on Maling Mountain, followed by Liu Yong and He Yan. He Yan stepped forward and said, "The emperor was on his way to Laoton, and the slave ordered the local county order to send a beautiful woman of national color to the emperor." Qianlong waved his hand and said, "I said not to disturb the people of Li, you..." He Yan said, "The slave just saw that this woman is really extraordinary, and it is really a small family jasper." Qianlong is a wise emperor, but also a mercurial emperor, and every time he goes on a tour, there are stories of affairs. Qianlong strolled through Maling without any more squeaking.
When the red candle was raised, Qianlong was reading an ancient book in his hand in the palace, and the great eunuch walked into the emperor and whispered, "The emperor's beautiful woman is coming." Qianlong looked up for a moment and continued to read. The eunuch turned back to the beautiful woman who had been sent and said, "Lady Ji Xiaohua, you must serve the emperor to bed according to the palace rules you just learned." After saying that, the two palace ladies sent the minnu Ji Xiaohua to sit on the dragon bed of the palace, and then covered the door and left.
Qianlong read the book for a while and did not hear any movement, so he put down the book and came to Ji Xiaohua, set up Ji Xiaohua with a royal fan, carefully looked at it and said: "Well, it is really extraordinary!" "There are three thousand beautiful ladies in the qianlong emperor's harem, why is he interested in a small woman in the folk?" But it is said that Ji Xiaohua is six feet tall, Qianqian is beautiful, dressed in folk clothes, and the portrait is completely different from everyone in the palace. Only to see her melon face big eyes, small upturned nose, moon mouth, every time you look up at the emperor, the eyes are full of spring waves, full of charm, beautiful little mouth inadvertently revealed a sweet smile. Ji Xiaohua didn't say a word, but Qianlong felt her eloquent voice.
Qianlong turned around and said in a full spirit, "Where is the little girl, and what is her name?" ”
Ji Xiaohua stayed, knelt on the ground and said: "The people of Jizhuang at the foot of the Maling Mountain, the parents and peasants, the people's daughters have no name, and the milk name is Xiaohua." ”
"Oh!" Qianlong turned around and helped Ji Xiaohua up and said, "Get up, get up, this is folk, not in the palace, don't be so polite." ”
"Didn't your parents give you a name?"
Ji Xiaohua shook her head slightly, and Qianlong came to be interested, and he said, "Come, I'll help you name it." After saying that, he came to the front of the book case and picked up a brush and wrote it on the white rice paper: Ji Meiren. Three words, after writing, he said to Ji Xiaohua: "Are you satisfied to come and see?" Ji Xiaohua quietly walked over, showed a sweet smile and said, "Emperor, the people's daughters are illiterate."
"Haha!"
"Such a beautiful person but illiterate, I tell you to call it Ji Meiren." Ji Xiaohua was infinitely happy after hearing this, and quickly said: "Thank you for the emperor's love, the people's daughter likes." ”
After naming Ji Xiaohua, there was no longer a gap between the two of them, and laughter kept coming out of the palace. ”
Ji Meiren said, "When the county magistrate chose me to serve at that time, I was so sad for a while!" ”
The Emperor said, "Oh, are you afraid of me?" ”
"At that time, the people's daughter thought that the emperor must be an old and ugly old man who can kill people." Qianlong laughed, "Now it seems?" ”
Ji Meiren said, "I really didn't expect the emperor to be a beautiful teenager." Qianlong was happier.
Ji Meiren's face was full of sadness again, "And..."
Qianlong said, "Say it, say it out, let you hear it."
Ji Meiren said: "In the folk, everyone has a great joy, that is, marriage and marriage, and marriage and marriage are very solemn, they must feast on relatives and friends, worship heaven and earth, husband and wife worship, enter the cave, the man is called the groom, the woman is called the bride, and I am today....is it counted as marrying you, or ........?" ”
Qianlong's marriage is called the grand ceremony, and he has never heard of the folk customs of marriage, let alone enjoyed the process of marriage that Ji Meiren said.
In his heart, what Ji Meiren said became what he longed for, and he turned around in the palace, and suddenly said with great interest: "Yes, I also want to be a folk groom, you are the bride." At this time, Qianlong suddenly embraced Ji Meiren, and Ji Meiren also seemed to have walked into the river of love, and love was sublimated here.
……
(ii)
The morning on Maling Mountain is exceptionally fresh, the mountain magpies are "chirping" in the branches, and the sound of farming grazing is heard in the distance. In the hall outside the palace, the ministers were already waiting here, and the other entourage were busy packing up and preparing to leave.
After Qianlong got up and walked into the hall, the minister Liu Yong said: "Emperor Qi, today's itinerary is arranged like this. Qianlong waved his hand and said, "You want to stay here for a few more days, Liu Yong ordered you to consult the local customs, you want to marry Ji Meiren here, you want to be a folk groom, all procedures must not be deleted, and everything is handled according to local folklore." ”
All the ministers were stunned, the emperor had three thousand beautiful women, but he was fascinated by a beautiful woman at the foot of this Maling Mountain, but he wanted to be a bridegroom here. Liu Yong replied helplessly: "Za! ”
He Yan, who had always flattered the emperor, said: "There is a new idea, and the emperor is good to be a groom!" ”
He Yan walked into the houses of the retinue and said to the entourage who had packed up the packs: "Don't fight, put everything back in place, and wait for the emperor to make a fuss!" Some of the monks in the entourage were confused. Liu Yong did not dare to be sloppy, and he went down to the mountain to discuss with the local county order how to do a good job in the emperor's folk happy event.
After breakfast, Qianlong and Ji Meiren walked on the Zhongwu Ancient Road of Maling Mountain, the infinite scenery of Maling Mountain in spring, the mountains were full of small flowers with dots of lilac, and they looked particularly beautiful from afar, Qianlong walked down the ancient road and picked a flower and said to Ji Meiren: "What is this flower called?" Why haven't I seen it? Ji Meiren said: "The slave grew up in the mountains, and helped her parents go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables when she was a child. This small flower is a small flower unique to Maling Mountain, called Zi Kou. ”
Qianlong sniffed the small flowers and said, "The fragrance is light and elegant, and Qianqian is lovely." Ji Meiren introduced several main peaks of Maling Mountain to Qianlong while walking, and walked unconsciously to a small lake in the mountain stream of Maling Mountain, the small lake was full of blue waves, there were several pairs of Mandarin ducks swimming in the lake, there were several cranes standing by the lake, Qianlong picked up a pebble and threw it to the center of the lake, the water splashed, and several wild ducks were startled. Qianlong was touched by this beautiful scenery and beautiful people, and wrote a poem with a loud voice: "Zhong Wu Man Dao is only a fist stone, and he also has a few points of Jiangshan Xiu!" ”
Ji Meiren approached Qianlong and said softly to the emperor, "Emperor, how do you feel about this Maling Mountain?" Qianlong touched the scenery and casually said, "This is the first Jiangshan", Ji Meiren said: "The emperor has walked through the famous mountains and rivers, and the scenery there is not more beautiful, why did the emperor seal maling mountain as the first Jiangshan?" ”
Qianlong casually wrapped his arms around Ji Meiren's waist and said, "This mountain, this water, this man, is the most beautiful in my heart, the mountain is not high, there are immortals are named, the water is not deep, and there are dragons and spirits." There are fairies like you here, and the scenery is greatly enhanced! ”
Qianlong and Ji Meiren are calm in this lake and mountains, calm in this sweet love, entangled, Qingqing intention, love is thick. Ji Meiren said, "Emperor, do you really want to be a civil groom?" ”
"Yes, I also want to enjoy the fireworks of the world, I also want to enjoy folk love, to be a village man, to be a folk groom!"
Ji Meiren was attached to Qianlong's arms and said softly, "Emperor, are you sincere?" ”
"Of course, I have already ordered Liu Yong and Yan to organize a wedding banquet, and everything is handled according to local folklore."
"Really? What kind of waiting for a happy event? Ji Meiren asked.
"Just tomorrow, okay?"
"Emperor, am I not dreaming?"
"Even I feel like living in a fairyland," Qianlong said.
"Emperor, then I'm going home, and I'm going to go home and let my mother prepare a dowry for me."
"No, I've already arranged for Hezhen to do it, so you can rest assured!"
"Emperor, I'll take you to the tiger's den to see, are you afraid?"
"Afraid of anything, who doesn't know that I Qianlong is the Emperor of Kung Fu, and besides, according to the protection of the Great Inner Master around me, you see that mountain, next to the tree, those are all guards standing guard for me." In maling mountain, the laughter of Qianlong and Ji Meiren could be heard from time to time.
At noon, Qianlong and Ji Meiren returned to the palace, and Liu Yong was already waiting here, the eunuch brought face washing water, Qianlong washed his face, dried it, turned to Liu Yong and Yan and said: "Two Aiqing, how are the wedding preparations?" ”
Liu Yong said: "Emperor Qi, the courtiers have arranged the wedding ceremony properly, and it is specifically appropriate to handle it in full accordance with local folklore, mainly including: greeting relatives, the bride crossing three doors, jumping the brazier, worshiping heaven and earth, worshiping the high hall, worshipping the husband and wife, sending them to the cave room, and then they also have bamboo chopsticks through the window paper, saying happy words, making trouble in the cave room, and arranging for people to listen to the room at night." On the third day, arrange morning sugar tea for the bride and groom to recognize relatives and friends. The procedure is all there, please ask the emperor to review. ”
He Yan said, "Emperor, your bride and groom dress I arranged for the most famous local Yang tailor to sew for you, and now I am waiting outside the hall for the purpose." ”
"Pass, tailor," said the Emperor.
While standing up, Qianlong said: "Liu Aiqing, this wedding banquet is set up in the Maling Mountain Palace, don't disturb the surrounding Li people, and the magistrates should not bother, the guests are mainly the entourage and the people of Jizhuang." ”
The Yang tailor finished measuring the emperor and carried the box to the inner palace under the guidance of the eunuch to measure the body of Ji Meiren.
After listening to Qianlong's words, Liu Yong made a pilgrimage ceremony and said, "Za."
Qianlong then said to Hezhen, "He Aiqing, from tomorrow onwards, all the courtesies of the monarchs will be waived, and everything will be in accordance with folk customs." ”
Liu Yong and Yan thanked the emperor for coming out of the palace hall, Qianlong had just swam through maling mountain and returned to the palace, let the eunuch prepare the four treasures of the study room, and Ji Meiren personally studied the ink, and Qianlong was writing a poem to appreciate the beauty of this beauty.
In the afternoon, Liu Yong and Yan asked to see each other, and Qianlong walked out of the palace and came to the main hall.
After Liu Yong and Yan invited an invitation, Liu said: "Emperor, the wedding banquet is arranged in this way, the banquet is twenty tables, the dining staff are the entourage and the people of Jizhuang, tomorrow is the auspicious day of the marriage, the subject is prepared to welcome the big red car in accordance with the local customs, the jujube red horse, two classes of folk bands, the wedding feast celebration by me as the celebrant, and the adult as the general of the welcome team, you will be at ease tomorrow as the groom." ”
"Good! I was very satisfied. ”
"According to customs,......," Liu Yong said with some hesitation.
Qianlong said, "What else is there according to customs?" ”
"According to custom, tonight we will send Ji Meiren back to her mother's house to wait for marriage."
Qianlong hesitated, at this time Ji Meiren came over and said, "Emperor, will I go home and wait for you to marry me tomorrow?" ”
He Yan said, "Emperor, your groom's and bridal clothes have been made in a hurry, they are sewn from the finest local satin, and the color is rose red. Qianlong was very happy, and he quickly asked people to try it on. After putting it on, Qianlong took a few steps, looked at it and looked, and everyone around him boasted that the emperor wore the groom's clothes and really fit, and some said that he was handsome.
