Chapter 37: Shen Rong Gets Married
Shen Rong's wedding date is the first day of September, and three months have passed in a blink of an eye. Seeing that Shen Rong is going to get married tomorrow, King Rui, who is far away in the capital, has no news at all. Jin Min is in a hurry at home, he knows King Rui's temper, and it is absolutely true to his word. It's just that three months have passed since the incident, and I have already entrusted someone to bring a letter, so why is there no news? Hu and Master Gao ignored King Rui's words and made a decision without authorization, he had no way to change it, but since King Rui said that he would marry Shen Rong, he didn't say anything until now, could it be that he was really just a whim that day? Jinmin has no claim now.
Shen Rong sat in front of the mirror and asked Mrs. Quanfu to comb her hair and open her face. This marriage came too quickly, and she still has an unreal feeling to this day. is going to marry a wife today, wearing a red wedding dress, Shen Rong thought of Aunt Liu. Last night, the Hu family asked Qingyun beside Aunt Liu to come over. Qingyun brought over two pairs of shoes and socks made by Aunt Liu. The red embroidery thread embroidered into the pattern of the mandarin duck playing in the water, and the other pair is the lotus pattern of the entwined branches, the workmanship is very fine, and it can be seen that the person who did it has spent a lot of thought. Shen Rong shed tears when she took the embroidered shoes, no matter what, Aunt Liu really felt sorry for herself. Knowing that he was going to get married, he hurried to make shoes for himself. After Aunt Liu entered the family temple, she first fell seriously ill because of a stick injury, and then the whole person was thin and silent. In addition to chanting the Buddha all day long, it is chanting the Buddha. These things were all inquired about by Shen Rong again and again. In terms of food and housing, Hu Shi will not deliberately deduct anything from her. It's just that it's just a mess there. Thinking of Aunt Liu's desolation, Shen Rong secretly swore in her heart that she must live a good life in her husband's house and earn dignity for herself!
The auspicious time has arrived, and with a shout outside, the time has come! The guests who came to Mr. Gao's house to congratulate were stunned. Which one is this singing? I saw two groups of people carrying two sedan chairs to the door. One of the groups was particularly spectacular, before it was the dowry of the 88th station, and behind it was a long line of four people standing in a long line to welcome the family. And the groom who sat on the tall horse, full of ambition, surprised everyone, this, isn't this the famous Rui Wang Xia Ci in the capital? On the other hand, the Chen family's eighteen dowry teams looked shabby. The Chen family's original plan, the young lady who came out, wanted to come to Master Gao's house, so they made do with it. The Hu family set the wedding date so urgently, they naturally thought that the Gao family did not value Shen Rong. Now that there is a comparison, the people of the Chen family can't help but be a little anxious. Why didn't you say earlier that the two young ladies got married on the same day? That's too shabby, isn't it? But I don't seem to have heard that the Gao family is going to marry two young ladies at the same time!
"King Rui has arrived, and the old man has missed the distance!" Master Gao has experienced a lot of things, and he stood up to greet King Rui as soon as possible. "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, my father-in-law is polite!" As soon as King Rui spoke, he shook a room full of people. King Rui laughed! Today is the marriage of the old man's eldest daughter, if the prince comes to drink a glass of wine, it will definitely be there, if it is something else, please reschedule! "What Master Gao said is neither humble nor arrogant. It's not that he hasn't mixed up in the court, if today's oolong is succeeded by King Rui, how can their Gao family gain a foothold in the Great Xia Dynasty! King Rui grinned: "Master Gao, your young lady hasn't gone out yet, and she hasn't paid homage to anyone, so naturally she hasn't left the cabinet." So, if the emperor wants it, I think you can't be disobedient? As he spoke, his face straightened, and he glanced at the attendant beside him. The chamberlain took a big step forward, took out the holy decree from his sleeve, and said loudly: "The holy decree has arrived!" "When I arrived, a room full of kneeling people. But I heard the shrill voice of the waiter in the room: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the daughter of the Gao family, Shen Rong, has outstanding virtue and craftsmanship, and her temperament is gentle, which can be called exemplary." Named the lord of Panlong, today it is specially referred to as marrying King Rui in the summer! Choose a day to get married! "After reciting the holy decree once, the room was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground." Master Gao couldn't believe his ears, how could there be such a thing? This good thing is too mysterious, isn't it? Hu Shi pulled his clothes, and the holy decree naturally could not be disobeyed. So he respectfully stood up and accepted the order. Immediately, the room was filled with jubilation. And the people from the Chen family who came to marry were dumbfounded, and they had nothing to do with themselves for a long time. The daughter-in-law who got it was gone, and the junior officials of the Chen family were very discouraged, but what could they do, they were given marriage by the emperor, and they didn't have to fight.
Gao Jinmin saw that Master Gao was busy, and he didn't care about the Chen family at the moment. But it's not a matter of hanging people like this, so I took the time to go out to meet the small officials of the Chen family, and the Tao happened suddenly, and the Gao family didn't know about it in advance, hoping that the Chen family would understand. His tone was pertinent and his attitude was modest, and the Chen family could only express their understanding. Then he discussed the aftermath and returned the post.
Shen Rong sat in the room and waited for the bride to come to help, but she heard the close-fitting girl green veins rushing in: "Miss is happy!" "It turned out that the bride was delayed, so the green vein went out to listen to the news, who knew that as soon as I went out, I heard people outside say that the eldest lady was named the county lord, and it was the emperor who gave her a marriage and promised it to the current Rui Wang. I'm afraid that the rumors are not true, and I specially called a second-door guy to ask, and the other party also smiled, and was even more polite to her. So Greenvein hurried back to report the good news. "What's going on?" Shen Rong was also extremely puzzled in her heart. For a while, the Hu family had been surrounded by everyone and entered the Lingzhi Garden. "I've seen my mother!" Seeing the Hu family coming, Shen Rong hurriedly got up to salute. Hu Shi stepped aside and said with a smile: "Now that you are the county lord of the imperial gift, we will salute you in the future." Shen Rong hurriedly shook her head and said, "Mother's words are bad." Even if I am the lord of the county, filial piety will never be forgotten. Shen Rong was deeply taught by her mother that she would never dare to do unfilial piety and unrighteousness! As he spoke, he glanced at Hu Shi deeply. Obviously, these days, she is really convinced of Hu. Hu Shi listened to her words and felt warm in his heart. No matter how arrogant Shen Rong was before, in general, there was no mistake after all. During this period of time, I have been carefully adjusted, but I am indeed more stable and sensible. It's just that now she has been named the lord of the county, and she has been given the marriage of King Rui. In the eyes of others, it is a beautiful scenery and a blessing. It's just that King Narui is a well-known prince, it is said that he is romantic, and Prince Gong's mansion is extraordinary, and the situation inside is not as good as the Gao family. Hu had a thousand words in his heart, but he didn't know where to start.
Master Gao received the holy decree and welcomed King Rui and his party to the main hall Hancui Hall. King Rui first accompanied him: "Xiao Wang saw Miss by chance that day, and he was shocked. On the same day, I proposed to Brother Jinxiu, and the matter was in a hurry, so it's no wonder you refused to allow it. Later, when I received a letter from Jin Min, it was not that Xiao Wang deliberately delayed it to this day, but that the emperor sent Xiao Wang to fight in Xirong, and Xiao Wang could not be separated. As soon as the war was over, Xiao Wang returned to Beijing to resume his life. I asked for the emperor's grace and set off immediately, and finally did not miss the good time. Xiao Wang acted recklessly, and I ask my father-in-law to forgive me! However, Xiao Wang really fell in love with Ling Yuan at first sight! I hope that my father-in-law will be fulfilled! "What he said was sincere and polite, and there was a holy purpose, how could Master Gao still have no reason to allow it? At this point, I finally know that today's farce, Jinmin has always participated in it. As for whether it will settle accounts after the fall, it is unknown.
The capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, Prince Gong's Mansion. "This son of a son is acting more and more bastard!" Prince Gong roared in the middle hall. Beside him were the palace stewards huddled together and the princess with tears in her eyes. "It's all you, you are doting on weekdays, and now that something like this has happened, how can you let me explain to the emperor?" The princess took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, isn't God giving him a marriage?" He was ordered to get married, there is nothing wrong with him! Prince Gong slapped the table angrily and said angrily: "What is his order?" The emperor has always intended to point out Li Shangshu's daughter to him, and I have privately begged the emperor several times. The daughter of Li Shangshu is said to be knowledgeable, talented and beautiful, and gentle and graceful. It is the daughter-in-law candidate that our family needs, who knew that he would hide it from me and ask the emperor to marry the woman he likes! The emperor must have been deceived by him, what kind of woman can he like? It's not a shame to get a fireworks woman called Ziyan outside, and now she has traveled thousands of miles to Panlong Mountain! What kind of noble people do you have in Panlongshan? This kid is determined to me off! Hearing Prince Rui mention Panlong Mountain, the princess was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Speaking of which, there is indeed a family in Panlong Mountain, and the family background is not bad!" Lord, do you remember that Tanhualang Gao Jingtang, who was once famous in the capital? "Gao Jingtang? The sour scholar who insisted on taking the Qinglou woman as a concubine? What's so good about his family? No matter what, Li Shangshu is hot now! It is said that if I hadn't begged the imperial brother again and again, the imperial brother would have planned to crown his daughter as the crown princess! Now it's okay, the evil obstacle has begged someone else, and the candidate for the crown princess has also changed. Brother Huang still blames me for being greedy! The princess sighed and said, "Lord, everything is fate, and it is not up to anyone!" God's hand is insisting on this now, and there is nothing we can do! Is it not obeyed? The concubine has an idea, it's better for us to ask for it once, and ask for it twice, since the prince doesn't like the women of the Gao family, let's ask the emperor to marry the daughter of Li Shangshu's family as a concubine, how about it? Prince Gong took a deep breath and said, "Do you think that the holy decree is to say that there is?" Your precious son not only begged to marry a girl, but also asked her to be made the lord of the county! Tell me, what is this? It's incredible! The woman didn't know what the magic was. Let that kid see it once, it's like losing his soul. Even my father and mother are left behind! I'm married, but I don't know what it's like! "What? Named the county lord? The emperor is too fond of God, right? How's that going? The princess was also stunned by Prince Gong's words. For no reason, he actually dared to let the emperor make a little girl the county lord! Even if the prince's daughter wants to be crowned the county lord, it is also necessary for the emperor to attach great importance to that prince in order to have such an honor. There are only five county lords in the Great Xia Kingdom. Prince Gong's daughter is one, and the others are all daughters of princes and ministers. And they are all well-known talented and virtuous ladies. Why does a small daughter of the Gao family occupy a place? Just because the person she wants to marry is King Rui? Then King Rui is too arrogant, right? The court's reputation for summer is already very bad, and this time, I'm afraid it's even worse, right? The princess has privately heard that Xia Ci is married to the eldest daughter of the Gao family, and the daughter of the Gao family is known as a talented woman, and she is a concubine, and these princesses are hiding from Prince Gong. I'm afraid that he will be even more angry when he finds out, but she didn't expect her son to act so absurdly, and she just married her, and she actually asked the other party for the title of county lord!
"Report to the prince, the little prince's carriage and horses have entered the city!" Although Prince Gong was furious, he was ordered to get married, and those things on the scene still had to be done. So early in the morning, the palace was already lit up with lights, and all the ceremonies for marriage were arranged.
Shen Rong married far away, and she was married by order. After discussing with Master Gao, the Hu family decided to include Shen Rong in his name, so that Shen Rong's identity became a concubine. And the Hu family also returned a dowry of almost the same value according to the gift list brought by King Rui. The output of the Gao family's general affairs has always been taken care of by the Hu family. This time Shen Rong got married, and Master Gao understood the benefits of the Hu family's housekeeper. The decency of the external scene does not need to be mentioned in detail, even those granges and shops for Shen Rong are also accumulated by the Hu family for so many years of hard work. What Master Gao carefully manages is his own academy, and the rest is cooked by the Hu family. The Hu family divided the family's property into three parts. Jin Xiu is the eldest son, so naturally there is no need to mention that he has the biggest and most fundamental share. Jin Min also has a share, which will be given to him when he marries a wife in the future. The other was left by Hu for his three daughters. Most of that one should have been Jinyu's, because Jinyu was a descendant. Now Shen Rong marries first, and marries into the palace. The Hu family gave Shen Rong a dowry of 30,000 taels of silver according to the example of the concubine, which was comparable to the dowry of the palace. And in this way, Jinyu and Shenfang will not have a very generous dowry in the future. For this point, Master Gao is very open-minded, and he directly proposed that the things in Aunt Liu's Jinxin Courtyard should be taken out as the dowry of the Shen Rong sisters. Aunt Liu has been in a private house for so many years, not to mention a lot, at least she has accumulated 30,000 taels of silver. Of course, these are all thanks to Master Gao. Naturally, the Hu family would not mention these things, and if Master Gao brought it up himself, the Hu family would naturally not be polite. In this way, the Hu family has a lot more money.
Shen Rong's dowry was spread out on the street leading to Prince Gong's mansion, and it could also be called ten miles of red makeup. The streets and alleys all know that Prince Rui's Mansion is ordered to get married, so there are many people who watch the excitement. Shen Rong sat in the sedan chair, holding her breath. The sound of music blowing and beating outside shook the sky. But her heart was uneasy. Linxing Hu's teachings are still in my ears, "Shen Rong, you are anxious, and you are strong in everything." Remember, in the future, as a wife, you must be patient, have filial piety, and don't be strong in everything! Holding the purple jade Ruyi in her hand, Shen Rong repeatedly said to herself that she must live well in the palace and fight for the daughter of the Gao family!
Knowing the news of Shen Rong's marriage, Jin Xiu was urgently recalled by Master Gao with a letter to help Master Gao Zhang Luo. This wedding matter naturally fell on him, he has been in the capital for a long time, and he is familiar with people, so he naturally knows more about the customs and customs of the capital. Jin Xiu naturally spared no effort for this task. After entering the city, he carefully arranged the arrangements and etiquette of all the people who sent off relatives. The welcoming team to Prince Gong's mansion came over, and Shen Rong was welcomed into the prince's mansion, and it was orderly all the way. Prince Gong saw that all the subordinates of the Gao family were neither humble nor arrogant, and the etiquette was thorough, and he couldn't help but be a little secretly surprised. In his heart, he thought that the Gao family was just an ordinary scholar, and if he could climb to the palace, he would inevitably be respectful and flattering to him. Who knew that Gao Jinxiu, the son of the Gao family who sent his relatives, actually dealt with it decently, and in addition to being polite, he had the bearing of a forest master. I can't help but feel a sharp rise. The previous disdain for Master Gao actually disregarding the rules of Shilin and accepting the Qinglou woman as a concubine couldn't help but subside a lot. So he was correspondingly polite to the Gao family.
