Chapter 815: King Xuan's Marriage (3)
Rui'er grew up in the palace and was very familiar with several masters in the palace, so she was not nervous or restrained at all, and she finished the tea smoothly, received three large red envelopes, and returned to her residence. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info their residence is the Dongnuan Pavilion downstairs of the prince and Fujin, which is the house where the prince once gave gifts and musical instruments to the royal family. Now it has long been inlaid with glass, after a relatively high-end decoration, there are floor-to-ceiling curtains, sofas and exquisite exotic furniture, and the atmosphere is luxurious, spacious and bright. It's not bad to be a new house for Lord Xuan.
Then there was the family banquet, at which Rui'er served her parents-in-law as the eldest daughter-in-law, with dignified manners, gentle and amiable speech, and was a child that the elders were familiar with and liked.
After the banquet, the two mothers-in-law began to teach her how to be a good daughter-in-law. In addition to the in-laws, the family members also include Xue'er and the baby Beibei, a ten-year-old dragon and phoenix fetus.
Even if it is the first day of marriage, after a day of rest in the middle, it is time to return home. Although they are all in the house, all kinds of etiquette cannot be abolished. Mr. and Mrs. Tian Liang and Mr. Chen are both in the "Governor's Mansion" and "Changshi Mansion" of the Suzhou house, and this area is called the "backyard" based on Yun'er.
Of course, you have to go to your grandparents' house first, and the gifts are very rich. The husband and wife both kowtowed to their grandparents, grandparents and grandparents, Tian Liang and his wife were also here, and Yu'er's mother Su Mama was also here, so they kowtowed together. And then set up a banquet here. 's own children, except for giving a few red envelopes to the younger couple, are not polite. Xuan'er was pulled by her grandfather and grandmother to speak, and Rui'er was quietly called away by her mother to say that she had gone privately.
"I frightened my mother on the day you got married, for fear that you would make a mistake if you were timid. Fortunately, it has finally passed completely. Mother is worried about you and Xuan Wang Ye for the first time, in case something goes wrong. ”
Rui'er blushed: "Mother, what did you say?" What is there to worry about? You are Brother Xuan's own uncle and aunt, and we haven't had any trouble in ordinary times. ”
"Alas, it's easy to say it now, I'm afraid that in the future, Fujin will enter the door, in case you are tricky, barbaric and unreasonable, your temperament is not at a loss?"
"Fang Fujin seems to be unavoidable, and the family status will not be very low, anyway, Rui'er won't fight with them, if Brother Xuan changes his mind, Rui'er will go home to live."
"Wow, Rui'er said I changed my mind, when did I change? Tell me about it? Xuan'er came in and asked with a grin.
Yu'er was a little embarrassed, and explained with a smile: "Rui'er didn't say that the prince would change his mind, but that she was afraid that the prince would change his mind." ”
"Isn't that unfounded? Why should I change my mind? Auntie, don't worry, Xuan'er grew up with you, and you know what kind of personality you have. Here Xuan'er swears that if she changes her mind to Rui'er, the sky will thunder. However, in the future, the Empress Dowager will definitely send other women to Xuan'er, which is an indispensable matter for the emperor. Xuan'er won't be cold to those women, and she won't forget Rui'er because they have any strengths. Xuan'er can't help the emperor offend people. However, Xuan'er knows who she should be good to. ”
Tian Liang walked in and said to Yu'er: "Lord Xuan has said everything to this point, what are you worried about?" The subordinates believe in the prince very much. Knowing that the prince is a man of temperament, and he is also a man of Buddhism, he will not do bad things. Moreover, Xuan Wang Ye and Rui'er are real childhood sweethearts, and they can't treat her badly if they grow up together. Then again, if Rui'er feels that her status and status are high, and she is flying high, we husband and wife will not sit idly by. ”
"Thank you, father-in-law, mother-in-law."
At this time, Hui'er also came to ask Xuan'er to say goodbye, although she had recovered her identity as Gege, but she was Tian Liang's wife, and her status was far inferior to Xuan'er. In terms of seniority, Hui'er is still Xuan'er's cousin. Behind Hui'er, Tian Liang's other three full concubines all came to greet Prince Xuan and his wife. Yue'er didn't come, maybe there was something wrong with Ling Juan, Caizhu, Wanyan, and Huazhi all belonged to the people of Xuanwang's Mansion.
Just after the wedding celebration, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the biggest festival in August. Fu Jin's birthday is also in August, which is the 16th of August. The people in the house not only have to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also prepare for the birthday banquet of Fujin, which is a major event in the house. There will definitely be a lot of people coming to congratulate the birthday banquet in Fujin.
Rui'er's daughter-in-law is very qualified, not as delicate and tender as Fu Jin imagined in his heart. This is directly related to Yun'er's teaching, Yun'er doesn't like timid and fearful girls, not to mention that Rui'er is Xuan'er's concubine Fujin, she doesn't want Rui'er to become an expert in house fighting, and she doesn't want her to be bullied by the future side Fujin.
It didn't take long for Yu'er's younger brother Zhou Hu to get married, and his daughter-in-law was Ning Tao's daughter Tang Jing, and her residence was the dormitory where the descendants of Xuanwangfu lived in. To be married is to grow up and be able to support your mother. Therefore, Mama Su is going to follow her son to live.
Now Zhou Hu has been able to take charge of one side on his own, and he is in charge of the prince's papermaking project. The reeds were pulled back from Baiyangdian in a carriage, and they led a group of people to make paper in a workshop in Xuanwangfu. The recipe for the papermaking was brought back from a foreign land by Yun'er, which was to use a special method to turn the reeds into rice paper. Reed papermaking and ancient papermaking is a principle, first cut the reed into small sections, then put it in the steamer and cook until it becomes a pulp, and then dilute it with water after the process of sieving pulp decolorization, and finally spray the water dissolved with plant fibers evenly on the wool cloth or other cloths, and press it with high temperature, at this time, the fibers in the water will come out on the surface of the wool cloth and become paper.
The paper made from reeds is very high-grade. The three princes bought all the reeds and paper-making equipment. It's just that it's done manually at the moment, just to see the effect.
The effect is really good, Yun'er is the first person to test the pen on reed rice paper. This kind of rice paper should be half-cooked. The feeling of writing and drawing is wonderful. There are not many reeds in Baiyangdian, and the reeds used for papermaking will still be inexhaustible in the next 20 years.
Mama Su is really blessed now. She didn't dare to think back to what life she had spent with that butcher for more than a year.
Zhou Hu got married, and Yu'er had the responsibility to help her younger brother, and Yun'er also helped a lot from it. Not to mention the relationship between Yu'er and his brother, even Zhou Hu himself is also loyal to the prince and Yun'er. This young man is very calm, has a good mind to do things, and has a flexible mind like a fish.
The days in the house were quite peaceful, but the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace and the emperor of Qianqing Palace began to be busy for Xuan'er's side blessing. Originally, I was going to pick a few girls with outstanding appearance and character from the girls who were drafted for the emperor this time, but the emperor even said that it was inappropriate: "Brother Xuan from the girls who were drafted for me, even if the girl is the best, Brother Xuan will think that I will pick the rest." Be sure to pick a few outstanding girls from a good family outside of this election for Brother Xuan. ”
"Isn't that Xuan'er picking the rest?" The Empress Dowager said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, I and Brother Xuan are different, I will have many women in the future, but Brother Xuan can't. The imperial uncle in their house had only two women in his life, and he was very disapproving of one man having many women. My aunt said a few times that it was enough for Brother Xuan to have Fujin and Side Fujin, otherwise the family would be restless. Or choose among the daughters of first, second and third grade officials? Their origins cannot surpass Tian Rui. There must be a talented girl of the Han people who comes to Brother Xuan. ”
"You still have to have half of the full women. Your uncle is a Manchu, not a Han. "The Empress Dowager said this for the sake of the country, not for the sake of the prince's mansion.
"Yes, there must be a full woman, you can rest assured. In this way, let the ministers who can go to the court with me recommend that whoever has an outstanding girl must be excellent, otherwise he will not be worthy of Brother Xuan. ”
"The emperor is very much in favor of saying this, your brother Xuan himself is very good, he has the title of prince at such a young age, and he is so smart and capable, he must be an excellent girl to match him, he must be carefully selected, his appearance must be good, his talent must be good, and more importantly, his character, he can't get the fox and demon to change his temperament."
"Grandmother Huang, don't worry, I have me in charge of him."
"So the emperor has a quasi-score?" The Empress Dowager said with great interest, "Tell the Imperial Grandmother, whose girl is there?" ”
"From the left capital of the first product of the imperial Shi Hadanara? Abkai's youngest daughter is dignified and beautiful, steady and reserved, a full-fledged lady, a female worker, and her cooking skills are quite good. ”
"Has the emperor seen me?"
"I've seen it, it's worthy of Brother Xuan."
"Okay, when Xuan enters the palace, the palace will be inspected in person. What else? ”
"There is also Li Ling'er, the daughter of Li Peilin, the head of the Hanlin Academy and the champion prince, who is like an elf who does not eat fireworks in the world, not only is she beautiful, but she is also a talented woman. Uncle Huang's family is all talented, worthy of Brother Xuan. ”
"It's Han? They ...... in the house."
"Imperial grandmother, this girl will definitely be pampered by Brother Xuan, and her talent is quite outstanding. Not only will Brother Xuan like it, but even the two imperial aunts will like it. I think there's a good chance they'll be able to help my aunt. "The emperor is still used to calling Fu Jin his aunt, and Fu Jin is the cousin of the emperor's mother, Concubine Tong.
"That's the best, Grandmother thinks you like this girl very much?"
"Imperial Grandmother, since I said that I would choose a few talented and good-looking side Fujin for Brother Xuan before my draft, I can't break my word. Moreover, this Li Ling'er is Han, and I am ...... in my harem."
"The emperor is right, the daughter of this champion is also one. And two more are ......."
"Oh, one of them is the general envoy Si Zheng Sanpin general envoy Mailer? Sayikan, the daughter of Alhatu, and Zhou Xinyao, the daughter of Zhou Peigong, are enshrined in the cabinet. ”
"The emperor said that Zhou Peigong is the Jingmen genius with a ravine?"
"Exactly. This person's knowledge is no worse than that of Mr. Fan Wencheng Fan in the Taizong period. and the daughter of Master Mailer, who is delicate and pretty, I guess Brother Xuan will like it. These four girls are four completely different types, and when they come to Brother Xuan, they won't be boring. ”
"The emperor is really concerned about Xuan'er's affairs."
"You have to be careful! The two generations of the emperor's uncle, father and son, plus all the people in the house, are doing their best for me, and I have to be worthy of their loyalty. ”
"The emperor is right, there will be brave men under the heavy reward."
After the face-to-face inspection of the grandparents and grandchildren, it was basically determined that these four outstanding girls would be a side blessing for Xuan'er. There are also outstanding girls recommended by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, all of whom are the daughters of the emperor's minister Gao, and Emperor Kangxi vetoed them. One of them is a female man like Mu Guiying, Kangxi said again and again: "No, no, it's too tough, you can fight tigers in the mountains and capture dragons in the sea, and you won't frighten Brother Xuan?" He doesn't need such a woman. ”
"The emperor also thinks that Xuan'er is very bold?"
"He's not timid, he doesn't like men."
"Man's wife? It's a fresh, good, hehehe......" The Empress Dowager laughed happily.
It is a foregone conclusion that the emperor will choose the side of Prince Xuan, I don't know how to leak the news, good guys, after a big court meeting, there were twenty or thirty civil and military ministers who recommended outstanding girls to Emperor Kangxi. It is estimated that it is the daughter of these ministers, at least very close relatives. Among them, there are those who are both talented and beautiful, and there are those who are talented, anyway, there are many categories of singing and dancing, musical instruments, cooking, female workers, embroidery, and sewing. Kangxi just watched these people perform. In fact, I knew very well in my heart that they were going for the emperor's uncle's money. It seems that once their daughter becomes the side room of Prince Xuan, the silver of Lord Rui's business will continue to flow into their pockets.
There really are no fathers and brothers among these people who have already made a predetermined candidate. Watching the end of their performance, Emperor Kangxi said: "I have received the kindness of all Aiqing, and the candidate for Prince Xuan's side blessing has been basically decided." ”
Hey! Isn't this a joke about people? The performers were immediately deflated. Emperor Kangxi asked: "I see that you Aiqing seems to have a complaining mood?" Did I say that I would choose a side for Prince Xuan in what range? Why are you so excited? ”
Minister of the Interior Nalan? After Mingzhu went down to the court, he asked Emperor Kangxi: "What the Holy Emperor said at the court meeting has been decided?" ”
"Mingzhu Aiqing wants to recommend Prince Xuan?"
"No, no."
"So what do you mean? What do I think you are smiling so badly? ”
"Your Majesty, the slave thinks those civil and military ministers are a little ridiculous."
"What's ridiculous?" Kangxi asked very seriously.
"The slave thinks that these people have all gotten into the eyes of money. Prince Rui and Prince Xuan do business, and the profits are handed over to you and sent to the treasury, and they are not all over the street to play, even if their daughter can marry into the mansion, Prince Rui will not give these side fortunes to take the hard-earned silver back to his parents' house, right? When you look at them, they look like their heads are sharpened, which is ridiculous. ”
"You have said this thoroughly. It's just that Uncle Huang made a lot of money, does it have anything to do with them? ”
At this time, Emperor Kangxi still trusted Nalan Mingzhu very much. Nalan Mingzhu was once a Buku boy in the great event of Emperor Kangxi's wisdom and worship, and then became Emperor Kangxi's personal guard. Later, he became a powerful minister of the Kangxi Dynasty, and successively served as the head of the Internal Affairs Office, the secretary of the Criminal Department, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the imperial history of the Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the scholar of Wuyingdian University, and the prince and the prince. It played a positive role in major events such as Kangxi's withdrawal of the three feudatories, the reunification of Taiwan, and the resistance to foreign enemies. In the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi, he was dismissed for the crime of being a friend, and although the official was reinstated, he was never reused. But in the early years of Kangxi, he was still more valued in front of Emperor Kangxi. But this person's mind is not very broad-minded, and he is very dismissive of the prince's business, and the emperor is also very jealous of the praise given by the emperor's uncle, so he has also hindered and stumbled the prince's business affairs since then. That's for later.
