Chapter 123: Preparing for Marriage
Yu Wenlie's eyes caught a glimpse of Shen Kuo's old face worried, and immediately guessed his thoughts, and couldn't help but take a step closer, and told him with a smile: "In about two months, Aman will be able to arrive in Kyoto." [Full text reading. 】”
Shen Kuo raised his eyes in surprise and said a little gaffe: "Really? ”
"Can the lonely king still coax his teacher?" Yu Wenlie smiled and said: "She did not fail in her mission and came back with Zhan Longjue and the Imperial Sword for the Lone King." ”
When Shen Kuo heard this, a pair of cloudy eyes actually welled up with tears.
When the baby granddaughter went to the hinterland of Nanliang with Chen Xiang, the Son of Heaven issued an order not to interfere with him. For most of the past six months, he has not even slept well because he is worried. Suddenly, when he heard the news of his granddaughter, he was happy and blamed himself, but he couldn't hold back the emotions surging in his heart.
"Haha!" Seeing this, Yu Wenlie laughed twice.
Shen Kuo hurriedly turned sideways, wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeve, and bent down and said, "The old minister has lost his honor, please forgive Your Majesty." ”
"It doesn't matter." It can be seen that Yu Wenlie is in a good mood. Soon, he instructed Shen Kuo: "Let the Jinyang Mansion prepare for Aman's marriage earlier!" According to the gift list of the founding county government, prepare the dowry as soon as possible. ”
Shen Kuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart that his granddaughter's marriage had been taken care of by the Son of Heaven, and the Founding County Mansion would not mind the fact that his granddaughter had disappeared in the past few months. Happy, he was busy agreeing, and said: "Aman's marriage, the old minister must personally inquire about it." ”
"It's best for Aman to do the wedding ceremony as soon as he comes back." Yu Wenlie said and sighed, "This is to blame for King Gu, who entrusted her with a heavy responsibility at the age of Aman's marriage, causing her to marry late." ”
"Fifteen, it's not too late, it's not too late."
"Okay, then the teacher should go back and rest early!" Yu Wenlie flicked his hand slightly, asking Shen Kuo to step back.
Shen Kuo retreated and came to the outside of Luanqing Palace, but he ran into Cao Ru, the prefect of the Winter Official Mansion (equivalent to the Ministry of Industry).
Cao Ru has been a comrade with him for more than ten years, and he can't help but greet him. Soon, the people of Zhao Temple came out and invited Cao Ru in. Shen Kuo was puzzled, and after thinking about it, he didn't leave immediately.
He waited until Cao Ru went in and came out.
When Cao Ru came out, he had an extra volume of documents in his hand, and when he saw Shen Kuo, he didn't hide it, but he stepped forward unexpectedly and asked, "Master Taifu hasn't left yet?" ”
"Isn't this waiting for you?" Shen Kuo smiled, side by side with him, and while walking out, he began to inquire casually, "Why did the Son of Heaven summon you so late?" ”
As an old driver in officialdom, he shouldn't have asked this, but it was really strange to see people from the Winter Mansion at this time. The Winter Official Mansion is often in charge of the registration of hundreds of workers, and it is a big deal to take care of its prohibition, and there is no reason to rush it for a while.
"Didn't the Son of Heaven ask me to build another Guogong Mansion according to the regulations of the Rongguo Mansion a few months ago?" Cao Ru didn't hide it, and said with a smile, "Now that it's almost built, the Son of Heaven said that he would personally inscribe this Guogong Mansion, and tonight there is Yaxing, so let me pick it up." ”
It was for this purpose. Shen Kuo only felt that the Son of Heaven was still young, and he always had some wild ideas, so he couldn't help but let out a long breath. After thinking about it, he asked again: "The Son of Heaven has not yet revealed who this Guogong Mansion is built for?" ”
"Not yet." Cao Ru shook his head.
It's amazing! Whose country does the Son of Heaven want to crown as a duke? It's so mysterious. However, Shen Kuo didn't think deeply, and only hoped that his granddaughter would return home as soon as possible.
When he returned to Taifu's mansion, he told his old wife Xiao the news, and asked her to invite the Duchess of Kaiguo County to the mansion the next day to talk about it and deepen the affection between her family. That night, he also wrote to Lin'an City, asking his son Shen Zhongshu to make full preparations for Shen Liancheng's marriage.
Early the next morning, the Founding County Mansion received a post from the Taifu Mansion, which made Li Ji very happy. pestering his mother, he wanted to go to Taifu's mansion with him.
The Duchess of the founding county Huang couldn't resist him, so she had to take him with her. When he arrived at Taifu's mansion, he learned from Xiao that the Son of Heaven intended to let the two families prepare for his marriage with Shen Liancheng earlier, and he was even more happy that his heart was pounding.
After the early dynasty, Shen Kuo also told the words of the Son of Heaven to Li Wei, the founding county prince. There is no doubt that the Shen and Li families have become good for Qin and Jin.
"As for the side, Master Li doesn't have to ask more." Seeing that Li Wei wanted to inquire about Shen Liancheng's whereabouts, Shen Kuo hurriedly threw out this sentence, thought about it and explained: "Master Li, don't be surprised, it's really the Son of Heaven who doesn't let the old man publicize." ”
The Son of Heaven was carried out, Li Wei hurriedly collected his heart, and praised again and again: "I understand, the lower official understands, the lower official doesn't ask, he doesn't ask anymore, he just cares about the etiquette, and prepares to marry Mrs. Shen." ”
Shen Kuo nodded with satisfaction, smiling happily.
Li Wei was fortunate to be able to climb the evergreen tree of the Shen family.
The fact that the Shen and Li families were going to marry soon spread out, and the entire Kyoto City knew about it. There were only some rumors before, but now it is confirmed, and the people on the streets and alleys have one more thing to talk about.
This news reached Mrs. Li of the Jinghong Hall in the afternoon of the same day. Like all the Li family, when she heard the news, she was as happy as when she was named Mrs. Li by the Son of Heaven.
True, the news also spread in the harem.
Early the next morning, several nobles who had befriended Mrs. Li brought her auspicious words of celebration. Even Xue Shinu, who was lukewarm and had little contact with him, brought a few things rewarded by the Son of Heaven for the first time and sent them to the Jinghong Palace.
Xue Shinu had just given birth to the emperor's eldest son in less than a few months, with plump breasts and fat buttocks, and she wore a lot of clothes, showing a little bloated, compared with several nobles with outstanding appearance, she inevitably lost her color.
"Everybody's here." She said lightly, and a little surprise flashed in her expression, as if she didn't expect that so many people would come to Mrs. Li's Jinghong Hall in the morning. She couldn't help but laugh, don't mean it: "If the queen knows that Mrs. Li is so lively here, I'm afraid she will sulk." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Shuang'er's face immediately changed, and she was a little vigilant in her heart, and said with a smile: "It's just that I have nothing to do, eat tea here with me, and talk about disgust." ”
"Mrs. Li is so blessed to have climbed Mrs. Shen as a relative, and the road from now on will be straight up, so it's no wonder that everyone wants to come to greet her." Xue Shinu was sneering in her words, but she said: "Even me, I don't dare not take something to please me early." ”
Li Shuang'er has grown so big, and she hasn't seen anyone please anyone, she is holding such a yin and yang weird shelf. This Xue Shiwoman, pleasing herself is fake, and it is true that she should be herself.
She endured it, smiling and wrestling with it, but she already had a plan in her heart: after her younger brother and Shen Liancheng got married, she would definitely rectify this Xue Shinu, who had no one in her eyes and thought very highly of herself! (To be continued.) )
