Chapter Seventy-Two: Selection
Since he had reached a consensus with the elder brother of Shang Shang, after entering the palace with joy and reverberating to the emperor, the eldest grandson Wuji, who had solemnly joined the two Geng Tie, personally handled the marriage of this closest but strangest nephew. www.biquge.info At this point, the wedding procedures between Li Mo and the businessmen have officially entered the cumbersome but solemn six-ceremony procedures such as Nacai and asking names.
According to the usual practice, this whole set of three books and six ceremonies process has to go down, and it will take half a year to say the least, which is also sandwiched between the Qin Tianjian of the Ministry of Rites to select auspicious days, and it is not possible to say the day when the real marriage will be made.
Taking advantage of this effort, the two brothers, Su Ruizhi and Su Minzhi, all took action, and Chang'an searched for rare toys and added makeup to the merchants, and even the green sleeves with big bellies were enthusiastic to come up with ideas on the side.
Although it was said that since the two brothers had some foundation with the support of businessmen, this dowry had been put in Su Rui's heart early, but when he thought of Li Mo's hidden identity, Su Ruizhi still felt a little inappropriate when he looked at the dowry list in his hand.
According to the display on this list, it may be enough to marry a nobleman, even if it is a prince, it is not cold, but that one ......
After thinking about it, Su Ruizhi picked up the pen, added two newly purchased hot spring Zhuangzi to the back of the list, and added notes one by one behind the silk, household goods, etc., and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Big brother! Look what good stuff I've got! ”
Before Su Ruizhi could stabilize the pen in his hand, Su Minzhi's voice came from outside the door, and with this excited call, the door of the study was also pushed open.
"I'm about to be a father, and I'm so reckless." Su Ruizhi scolded with a smile, and then his eyes fell on a huge object in Su Minzhi's hand.
"This ...... Could this be ......" Su Ruizhi looked at Su Minzhi's huge long teeth in both hands, and was shocked.
"It's ivory!" Su Minzhi happily raised it in front of his eldest brother and said proudly: "I just got it from the big merchants of southern goods in the West Market, big brother!" What do you think about making a set of ivory ornaments for my little sister? ”
Ivory has always been a tribute, very few people can get it, like the one held by Su Minzhi, the tooth is delicate and white, the length and thickness are good, and there is a layer of soft halo against the light, such ivory is undoubtedly extremely rare.
"This ...... Will it be violated? After all, Su Ruizhi is calmer than Su Minzhi, and after seeing this tusk, except for the initial surprise, the rest has become a question.
Although they all know Li Mo's identity, such a thing is obviously not something that ordinary and precious people can use, will it be self-defeating then?
Su Minzhi also hesitated a little when he heard what his brother said, he liked this thing as soon as he saw it, and he only wanted to take it back to make a dowry for his little sister, but he forgot about it for a while.
"It should be alright, right?" After thinking about it, he was also a little unsure.
The businessman who stood outside the door and listened for a while was really a little crying and laughing, but he was married by himself, but these two brothers looked like they were facing great enemies, and they really didn't know what to be nervous about.
The merchant opened the curtain and entered the house, put the dim sum in his hand in front of Su Ruizhi, reached out and grabbed the dowry list on the table, looked up and down a few times, and couldn't help but secretly speak: It turns out that his two brothers have prepared so many dowries for themselves!
Just look at the densely written gold and silver head jewelry, all kinds of large pieces of furniture, as well as all kinds of fabrics for the four seasons, the accompanying Zhuangzi, and those famous and unknown various ornaments, antiques of the previous dynasty, gold beads and jade, I am afraid that the princess will not get such things when she gets married!
"That's it! Eldest brother! Second brother! Your sister can marry without so many dowries! No more special searches! ”
A dowry list made the merchant full of cold sweat, and then saw the ivory in Su Minzhi's hand, she was really speechless!
Not to mention that this family is so busy that people are on their backs, Li Mo is not idle, as soon as he returns to the mansion, he enters the palace to ask for a meeting, and when he returns to the mansion, it is already night.
instructed the servants around him to send the businessmen's things to the kitchen along with the boxes, but Li Mo entered the study again and asked Li Yan carefully, the current situation in Chang'an City, it was already late at night when he could rest.
However, Li Mo, who was accustomed to being quiet with merchants and businessmen in Jiuzhi, found that he was not sleepy at all when he fell asleep on the big bed in this mansion at this time.
The bed is still the same three years ago, and the incense in the room is still the usual palace sandalwood used back then, but lying in this empty room, the rich and intricate patterns on the top of the tent that are faintly visible in the faint light look so strange.
Outside the house, there was no longer the sound of insects under Jiuzhi Mountain, only a small room stayed overnight quietly, lest it disturb Li Mo's rest, but such a deliberate silence made him uncomfortable.
Sighing quietly, Li Mo shook his head with a smile, he was used to gossiping with businessmen before going to bed, and he was really not used to it without her company at this time!
"You've spoiled me!" Li Mo muttered in a low voice.
Sitting on the edge of the bed and staring at the faint light reserved in the corner of the room, Li Mo got out of bed with his clothes on, quietly walked outside and took a booklet casually, without alarming the little girl who had already slept, and turned straight back to the inner room.
Turning on the lights, Li Mo, who was half-lying on the couch, only looked at two or three lines, and his thoughts turned to the smiling face of the eldest grandson Wuji when he returned.
Looking at his appearance, presumably Shangshang's brother must have had a good conversation with him, but I don't know how long it will take after this Geng fit?
Back then, Li Zhi's wedding seemed to be a flower, and the time was not short, right? Li Mo stared blankly at a line of words in the book, racking his brains to recall the process of Li Zhi's wedding.
Unfortunately, at that time, Li Zhi was still young, and his mind was not on this, so he didn't pay attention to it, but now he really can't think of it, and only vaguely remembers that from Hegeng to marriage, it was about ...... It's been almost a year, right?
"Nacai, ask for names......" Li Mo's mouth muttered softly, the procedure of the six rites looks very complicated!
No way! I'm afraid I'll have to go to the palace tomorrow! If those Qin Heavenly Prisoners are allowed to pick the day, who knows when he will be pushed? You still have to rush it!
"Don't let them make my marriage as troublesome as Li Zhi did back then!" After making this decision in a low voice, Li Mo made up his mind, put the book in his hand aside, blew out the light and lay down.
The two people who are about to tie the knot each have their own thoughts, in this slightly unfamiliar, but so familiar Chang'an, the night seems so long!
Early the next morning, after washing, Li Mo had some breakfast casually, and he didn't even see Li Yan, who came to ask for peace, so he hurriedly rode into the palace, and the night's thoughts strengthened his determination to marry the merchant as soon as possible.
And at the same time that Li Mo's horse entered the Jinguang Gate, an inconspicuous Qingbu Waiman carriage also drove into Chang'an City at the same time.
There was also a team of guards around this carriage, although it was not as murderous as a person who had been on the killing field, but looking at the armor, it was also an active sergeant, and then looking at the name plate nailed to the carriage, it was actually written Luoyang City Guard.
The people in Chang'an City who had a little insight understood a little when they saw this posture, and this must be the woman sent by Luoyang to participate in this year's selection.
Walk along the city gate and go inside, turn around three miles, and see the palace gate with red lacquer and copper nails under the high wall from a distance.
A beautiful woman who lifted the curtain glanced at it with some awe and curiosity, and her eyes unexpectedly met the cold gaze of the soldier guarding the door, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered the curtain.
One of the guards stepped forward and whispered something to the soldier guarding the door, and after a while, a man with a white face and beard came out of the door, and said in a sharp voice, "Stay here!" The girls get out of the car and come in with me! ”
The guard did not refute, handed over a roster in his hand, and beckoned the coachman to open the curtain and let the girls in the car come down.
The waiter holding the roster just glanced at the girls who got out of the car, and then lowered his head to look at the roster in his hand.
In just a few moments, an inconspicuous name on the roster burned his eyes like tinder. The next moment, the unhappiness that had been disturbed and quiet all turned into cold sweat.
The girls who got out of the car stood in a line in front of the waiter, bowing their heads slightly, only the one standing at the end, standing there neither humble nor arrogant, looking at the arrogant waiter standing in front of her with a smile.
A gentle smile was forced out of his stiff face, and the waiter's gaze swept over the faces of every girl present, and when the familiar face appeared in front of him without concealment, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and then he bowed slightly and said, "Girls, please come with me." ”
"Thank you, father-in-law!" The warblers and swallows thanked them in a gentle whisper, and followed the waiter into the deep palace gate in a regular manner.
The woman with a calm face seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then followed the team and stepped into the palace gate a little stiffly.
The queen in the Zhaoyang Palace's face was pale, the bead crown trembled and swayed, the porcelain pieces in front of her were shattered, and the palace maids in the hall who were so frightened that they shrank into a ball all unabashedly showed the anger of this woman in the world.
"You...... Are you sure you read that right? Gritting her teeth and spitting out this sentence, Queen Wang only felt as if there was a fire burning her in her heart, making her miserable.
"How dare the slave and maid lie, the slave and maid were startled when they saw the name, and when they saw people, the slave and maid were even more frightened, how could they be wrong?"
The waiter who knelt on the ground and trembled in fright was the one who had just guarded the palace gate. At this time, he looked anxious, lest the queen not believe it, and said in a hurry to swear at the moment.
Since the queen mother lost power, and even the people around them have not had a good life, he is the one who was demoted to guard the palace gate, but how could he have expected to encounter such a thing?
When he thought of the faint smile on the face of the plain-faced woman he saw at that time, he felt a chill rising from his heart!
"Good! Good! Good! "The queen laughed angrily, and actually said three good words in a row!" You actually got her into the palace! I don't even bother to change my name! ”
Thinking of the specially summoned Wen Yan on the road to the big festival, and then hearing the secret report sent by this degraded henchman, Queen Wang only felt that she was the most ridiculous joke!
The anger of being deceived and the pain of tearing her liver and intestines made her whole person almost go crazy, and the queen looked at the kneeling chamberlain of Her Highness, and there was a storm in her cold eyes that was about to take shape.
