In Fuzhou, Lu Shenglu was the master of the ruler and gave the Ye family’s Minyue Martial Arts Hall to Ding Yi. There were hundreds of people practicing martial arts in this martial arts hall, and three generations of the Ye family lived in it, witnessing the prosperity and decline of the Ye family. The martial arts hall covers a very wide area. Within the tall walls, there is a large courtyard with six yards. If it is in the capital, it will catch up with the area of the royal palace. Ding Yi was young and had little trouble. He could live in such a large yard where he lived, and he liked the excitement, so that everyone did not have to stay in the inn, and they all lived in his new home.
Tian Tian originally rented a small courtyard with Tian Liang and Emei people. Ding Yi came to invite her, and she asked Ding Yi to carry herself into the door with an eight-carrying sedan chair.
Ding Yi thought about it, it was really not good to have the eldest lady’s entrance. After all, she was a third-rank senior. She dared not say that she was equivalent to the commander of the military region in later generations. She could still take over the commander of the military sub-district. She really couldn’t be wronged. Fuzhou was also considered half of her base, so she simply held a grand ceremony and invited the governor of the Fujian Provincial Administration Department (equivalent to the governor), the local general (equivalent to the commander of the military region), the eunuch Lu Sheng (some functions secretary) and other officials from all sides to hold a grand wedding!
Ding Yi was rich and had no elders to organize it. He did his own ideas. The wedding was grand and casual. All the well-known officials in Fuzhou came. Many people who had ideas about sea trade came. There were also neighbors. There were thousands of people everywhere. Fuzhou City seemed to have a grand festival. The teams of brides circled around the city for two weeks, and firecrackers were set off all the way. The teams of dragons and lions followed from beginning to end, and several children were also dressed up and spread flowers all the way. The two teams of soldiers were on both sides to maintain order. It was truly unprecedented and no one came later.
All restaurants in the city were closed, and the chef was forced to invite him to the Ding Mansion. Those who were famous had banquets in the mansion, while those who were famous had served in other rooms temporarily rented near the Ding Mansion. They were busy from noon to evening. This wedding was talked about by the people of Fuzhou. I remembered it for many years. I haven’t made it so exaggerated and boring in the past century!
Fireworks are easy to cold, prosperous and fleeting. Soon it was evening. Guests from all over the world said goodbye, only Lu Shenglu’s father-in-law drank a little too much, and he still wanted to talk to Ding Yi. The emperor received a report from the Jinyiwei that he wanted to go south quickly and asked Lu Sheng to form a fleet to work with Yun Zhongfei. So Lu Sheng simply stayed overnight in Ding’s mansion. Anyway, he was a eunuch, so no one would misunderstand him. I would wait until tomorrow to talk about this matter in detail.
The grand event was held, and the person involved, Ding Yi, of course, chuckled a lot. When he was sent to the bridal chamber, he only knew how to smile foolishly. When the crowd retreated, he saw Tian Tian, who was covered with a veil and red, and did not take Yu Ruyi next to him to lift the veil, but he stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword hanging on the bedside, waved it down, and split the veil into two companions. Looking at Tian Tian’s strange face, he laughed and nailed the long sword to his feet, laughed, and snorted: “Madam!” and rushed towards Tian Tian.
Tian Tian knew that she shouldn’t hide, and her instinct to practice martial arts made her unable to help but lean halfway. Knowing that something was wrong, she hurriedly shook back to her original position.
Ding Yi drank too much,When he went out, Tian Tian shook his eyes and saw a heavy shadow. He couldn’t tell whether it was true or not. He smiled and said, “My wife plays hide and seek with me, and I think I’m here to catch you for my husband!” The more anxious he became, the more mistakes it made. The hem of the groom’s clothes was too long. With a slightly bent knee, he stepped on the lower collar of his robe, threw himself onto the bed, and he lay down and did not get up again, making a loud snoring!
Tian Tian sat upright, waiting for Ding Yi to drink a glass of wine, but unexpectedly Tan Lang fell asleep after pounced on him. Tian Tian is a martial arts practitioner. He has never learned books such as the Biography of the Wild Girls and the Sacred Scholars in Emei, so he didn’t care. He stood up, took off his head full of pearls and jade, took off his wedding outfit, and only wore the moon white clothes, called the close maid Chun Liu to bring water in, washed all the rouge and powder on his face, took off Ding Yi’s outer clothes, helped him sit against the wall, and ordered Chun Liu to bring two glasses of wine, took one of his own glasses and walked through Ding Yi’s arm, let Chun Liu sit in the bed, holding the wine glass and pinching Ding Yi’s hand. Tian Tian pinched Ding Yi’s cheek with the other hand, pinched his mouth open, and said, “Drink!” He raised his head and drank it. Chun Liu also brought the wine in the glass into Ding Yi’s mouth. The wine ceremony was completed, and Chun Liu ordered Chun Liu to collect the wine glass.
Ding Yi coughed twice, leaned his neck down and raised it a few times, leaned against the wall and touched the pillow with Tian Tian’s help, and continued to sniff.
Chunliu smiled on the bed and said to Tian Tian, ”Miss, there are so many people coming today. The governor and the eunuch of the governor have come. My son-in-law has such a big face!”
Tian Tian smiled proudly: “You still call me Miss. My son-in-law is a third-rank official. I have to change my words and call me Madam. In the future, I will be Mrs. Ding. I will have an imperial decree in the future! And don’t call me a son-in-law, you have to call me!”
Chunliu and Tian Tian grew up together as young as a child, and their relationship is extraordinary. They joked, “Yes, madam, Chunxiao is worth a thousand gold at a moment, and the maid goes down first. If the lady has something to do, she calls me, I’ll sleep in the outer room!”
