Chapter 699: The Guogong couple pretend to be in-laws

The people next to him also laughed when they heard it. The laughing pomegranate has already been on the sedan chair, and there is no shyness of the ordinary bride at all, let alone the fear of the newlywed, on the contrary, she laughs freely, and she still cares about the Wenbin Township test.

Besides, he smiled in his heart, but he knew that Pomegranate showed the tension in her heart like this, but the way she relieved the pressure was a little special. However, she said that it was not a joke to get married again, and she could really do it.

"Gone, the bride got up. Tang Bohu saw that Pomegranate's dowry maid and family were all together, and the dowry was all packed, so he shouted loudly without waiting for the master of ceremonies to speak.

The welcoming procession turned to the return journey, more than twice as many people as when they came.

There are a total of eight people in the pomegranate marry, two middle-aged housekeepers, and 60 servants in the outer house. In addition, there are ten cooks and grooms in the inner and outer houses, and there are 80 people in total.

Tang Bohu and the others also looked straight at the flowers, these people have to keep it, no matter how rich the dowry of the pomegranate is, it can't last a few years. How did they know that just yesterday, the richness of their family had surpassed that of the Suzhou super family, and it was obviously redundant to worry about it.

The next thing is to continue to follow the routine of the wedding, this is indeed a routine, from the crown prince of heaven to the pawn of the peddler, as long as the marriage has its fixed ritual, you must follow the routine step by step, but the higher the status, the more complicated the ceremony, the more like an actor, or become a puppet.

Moreover, the father was not here, and Wei Guogong and his wife temporarily played the role of parents, accepting the husband and wife to worship each other, worship heaven and earth, worship parents, and husband and wife, and after three bows, the bride entered the cave room.

When she got inside, there were Sisi Qiuxiang and others accompanying Pomegranate, and Pomegranate simply took off the hijab, she was too depressed, anyway, outsiders can't get in here, and people who want to make trouble in the cave room today are doomed to be disappointed, and the people of the Wei Mansion guard the inner house so much that they can't even fly in.

"Lord Guogong, isn't the bride the goddaughter of the Duchess of Guo? you should be a member of your mother's family, how can you represent the man's parents?" asked a priest of the Ministry of Rites with a smile.

Pomegranate is the goddaughter of the Duchess of Wei, and this matter is known to almost everyone in the upper echelons of Nanjing, and it is not a secret.

"The emperor ordered me to take care of the family, and his father is not here, so I will do it. Wei Guogong said with a smile.

"What, ordered by the emperor?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

Wei Guogong didn't want to hide the news, he just wanted to take this opportunity to publicly announce: Whoever dares to get along with the situation in Nanjing City can't get along with the Zhongshan Palace, with the emperor's edict, he can stand for the situation and prevent disasters, if anyone is dissatisfied, he will tell the emperor himself.

The people sitting in the hall are all people from the mansions of various countries and the marquis' mansions, and then there are the officials of the six departments and three temples in Nanjing, even Lian Daning can only sit at the bottom, and Wenbin's father and other wealthy merchants, gentry, and celebrities can only sit on the periphery.

Fortunately, the hall was wide enough to accommodate such a large number of people, otherwise half of the people would have to sit outside.

"No wonder the great master wanted to accept it this time and failed to do so as a protégé, could it be that the emperor himself wanted to accept a protégé?"

"The emperor's thoughts are beyond my generation. Wei Guogong smiled faintly.

What this Shangshu said is really good, if the emperor directly crosses the three major links of the township test, the meeting test, and the palace test, and gives him a jinshi background, won't he really become the emperor's protégé?

The British duchess looked at the situation, and she also wondered in her heart, I don't know when she will catch the emperor's line, but the emperor's physical condition is unknown recently, and it is really difficult to determine whether it is a blessing or a curse to catch the emperor at this moment.

The head of the branch of the Dingguo Mansion in Nanjing said with a smile: "This time, the little brother has made great contributions to the emperor's holy body and health, and the emperor is naturally favored." ”

Dingguo Gong is the most favored person in the capital, and the news of Dingguo Mansion is also the most well-informed, but these words made everyone understand why the emperor had such a special experience, and they all thought it was because of Chen Musa's relationship.

It was precisely because Dingguo Gong was the first to know about Emperor Jiajing's edict to Wei Guogong, so he urgently ordered the branch in Nanjing to be present to congratulate, otherwise with Dingguo Gong's arrogance, he would never take the situation in his eyes, at least he would not come to the scene to congratulate him.

The topic involved Emperor Jiajing's physical condition, and everyone became nervous, which was the biggest taboo in the imperial court, discussing the emperor's life and death, and Yang Shou, which was a great rebellion. If the emperor is not present, no one dares to wish the emperor a long life in public, because it will offend the prince, and you can imagine what the small shoes will look like in the future, anyway, it is not much better than the big rebellion. Therefore, the emperor's health problems can only be regarded as an elephant in a porcelain shop, and he just turns a blind eye.

"Besides, the little brother is young and promising, not only a great talent, but also a miracle doctor. The Nanjing Ministry of Rites Shangshu said with a haha, diverting the topic.

"Besides, little brother, I'm free after the wedding, can I start the painting I ordered?"

As soon as this remark came out, several other officials who ordered the painting also asked one after another, it was inappropriate to ask this on this occasion, but at this time it was very appropriate, and everyone knew it.

Besides, he had to play haha, and answer one by one immediately, immediately, and he didn't know how much time this time was. He was not perfunctory, but understood that the real intention of these people's questioning was not in the portrait, but just to get rid of the embarrassment of the right talent and relieve the siege for the officials.

Wei Guogong looked at these people coldly, and secretly laughed in his heart, all of them looked like fake models, which made people sick.

Between Emperor Jiajing and the crown prince, Wei Guogong has always been impartial, unlike Chen Musa, who is somewhat biased towards Emperor Jiajing, even if his best friend Zhang Juzheng is now fully assisting the prince, he still does not change his original intention.

The real relationship between Chen Musa and Emperor Jiajing, only Wei Guogong knows about it, and no one else knows that Emperor Jiajing and Chen Musa have a correspondence relationship for many years, and all the letters are handed over by Wei Guogong himself, and he will never fake others, even the Duchess of Guo and the little prince do not know, let alone others.

Most people think that the emperor just places great importance on Chen Musa, after all, Chen Musa is a master of science, and this kind of treatment is normal, so although Chen Musa has always lived in seclusion and lived in seclusion, as long as he is willing, he still has the ability to influence considerable changes in the political situation. This is also the reason why the dignitaries who were exiled to Nanjing in disguise did everything possible to curry favor with Chen Musa, and everyone wanted to find a quick route to the emperor so that they could be recruited back to Beijing, the political center.

Now everyone basically knows the mystery, and then looking at the smiling faces on the table to give tea to these princes, marquises, and scholars, they can't bear it in their hearts, but they don't dare to say anything.

Nowadays, there are the most taboos, and treating him is by no means an enviable thing, on the contrary, it is regarded as a daunting path.

There is a story circulating in the upper circles, saying that Emperor Jiajing was sick once and asked the imperial doctor to diagnose his pulse, and after the imperial doctor knelt in front of the dragon bed to diagnose the emperor's pulse, he inadvertently saw the emperor's shadow reflected on the ground, so he casually said: The emperor's figure is on the ground.

Emperor Jiajing was overjoyed, and when he got up, he ordered someone to reward the imperial doctor, and said, My shadow is on the ground, and this disease is absolutely unhindered. So I refused to take the medicine, and somehow my body really recovered.

After the imperial doctor went home, he was seriously ill for several months, he was frightened, if he casually said that the emperor's shadow was underground, it is estimated that before he left the palace gate, his head would have moved, and a cursed crime was properly pressed on his head, and he didn't need to buckle it. The ground and the ground are actually the same meaning, but the speaker says it casually.

People who know this are sighing, what is called a companion is like a tiger, this is the best interpretation.

Among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Jianwen and Jiajing were the most difficult people to serve, and the people around them were often to blame, and the eunuchs and ministers were also the most strictly controlled. On the contrary, the ruthless Zhu Yuanzhang just treated the minister of civil and military affairs very harshly, and treated the people around him with kindness, when his son was divided into Shaanxi to be the king of Qin, Zhu Yuanzhang specially rewarded him with his cook.

On the way, King Qin thought that the cook's food was not delicious, so he whipped the cook with a whip, and after Zhu Yuanzhang knew, he wrote a letter to severely reprimand King Qin, telling him that he would never tolerate the general, let alone Wenchen, but this chef had served him for many years, but he had never said that he had ever said about him, let alone whipping?

Although the king of Qin was tyrannical, he knew that his father was more ruthless than him, so he hurriedly played a chapter to plead guilty, and the matter was settled, and after that, he treated this chef like an ancestor.

Zhu Di emulated Zhu Yuanzhang in everything, in order to flaunt his "orthodox" status, but he was still extremely generous to the generals, only to the Wenchen and Zhu Yuanzhang, and the close servants around him were also very good, the ministers' indulgence was actually from the Yongle Dynasty, to Xuanzong, to the Yingzong finally out of Wang Zhen's power, so that the battle of Tumubao, the Ming army 600,000 elites were lost, the Ming Dynasty was greatly injured, and it was gradually recovered in the Jiajing period, but many drawbacks have been formed.

The little prince was also sitting in a corner at this time, with several female guards standing beside him.

He looked at the smiling faces of the tea toasters everywhere, and his heart was very comfortable. He knew that what he hated most was this kind of false entertainment, and he couldn't stop being happy when he saw him suffering.

Of course, this is only within a certain limit, and if it exceeds a certain limit, he will not hesitate to share the ups and downs. For example, last time the Zuo family detained Zuo Ling, and he was so angry that he was out of control, the little prince immediately decided to fully support him, and offered to take responsibility for him afterwards.

The Duchess of Guo came over accompanied by several maids and sat at the table of the little prince, and the little prince quickly stood up and stood beside his mother.

"You sit, you're also a guest today, standing like this, people can't handle you well. The Duchess said.

The little prince sat beside his mother and held his mother's hand so that he was not affectionate. If Wei Guogong was here, he wouldn't dare to sit down, let alone have any intimate actions.
