If you want to say pro, you must first have a matchmaker

For a solemn marriage, there must be three media. The main matchmaker of Xia Shi is the emperor, and the matchmaker of both men and women is not too bad, and with the status of both of them as princes, the matchmaker is not as easy as a person.

Dingguo Mansion is close to the water, and directly from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Chengguo Gong Zhu Neng was pulled to be a female matchmaker, and the male matchmaker has become a problem, the status and qualifications must be matched with the female matchmaker, and the high status and low status will not succeed, forcing Xia Shi to almost run to Kaifeng to ask the King of Zhou to save him, but the vassal king is not allowed to leave the vassal country without permission, in order to give people to return to Beijing to return to their relatives, Yang Xu's score is inevitably too big.

Later, Xia Shi finally thought of Ru Chang, on the title of Ru Chang is just an earl, but he is the crown prince Shaobao, who has done Shangshu in the three most important yamen in the six departments, and has the highest seniority among civil officials, if it weren't for Jing Nan's meritorious service, Zhu Neng is 108,000 miles worse than others, and Ru Chang's son Ru Jiangang is engaged to the second daughter of King Qin, the county lord of Chang'an, and his status is a little heavier, Xia Qi took a gift and ran to Ru Mansion to ask for a matchmaker.

The Duke of Fuguo is now famous and prosperous, how can Ru Chang not allow it, Ru Chang readily agreed, and these three media gathered together before they began to carry out the normal pace of marriage discussion. Of course, this is the part of communication that both men and women must communicate, and there are all kinds of preparations to be made within each other.

When Xia Qi was busy preparing for the wedding, Chen Yan and Ji Gang were busier than him, Xia Shi was busy marrying, and Chen Yan and Ji Gang were busy arresting people.

Because of the rebellious actions of Xu Huizu and Geng Bingwen, the old ministers of Jianwen, Zhu Di became wary and issued a secret decree ordering Chen Xian and Ji Gang to conduct a thorough investigation. In the purge of more than a month when Zhu Di entered Nanjing, the military ministers of the Jianwen Dynasty, who were not implicated in the slightest, began to be unfavorable thanks to Xu Huizu and Geng Bingwen.

First of all, Chen Mo impeached Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, for the crime of borrowing Yue, Geng Bingwen knew why he was arrested, and he committed suicide very cleverly. Then, from the confessions obtained under the heavy interrogation of Geng Bingwen and Xu Huizu's cronies, the third mastermind of the "four" was arrested: Ma Meiyin charged him with evil plots. Because he is a concubine, the emperor is not governed, but when Mei Yin went down to the court, because of the crowding of the ministers, he "lost his footing" and fell off the Jinshui Bridge and drowned alive.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yan impeached Duwei Hu Guan for forcibly taking a folk woman and marrying a prostitute as a concubine. In fact, Hu Guan is a little disadvantaged, because he is not Xu Huizu and Geng Bingwen's people, in fact, he is on Zhu Gaoxu's side to support Zhu Gaochu to fight for tomorrow, but he is very close to his concubine Mei Yin, and a lot of evidence involves him.

Similarly, Hu Guan is also a concubine, Zhu Di ordered that he not be investigated as usual, and only ordered him to review it behind closed doors, but within two days, Ji Gang reported Hu Guan's "resentment." That is, complaining at home and scolding the emperor, in short, it means disrespectful, so he went to prison.

Later, Chen Yan impeached Licheng Hou Shengyong for resentment, and when Shengyong committed suicide in fear when he heard the news. Ji Gang secretly played Cao Guogong Li Jinglong's brother Li Zengzhi to buy more farm property and save more tenants, his intentions were unpredictable, he was sentenced to prison, and his family property was confiscated, and Li Jinglong was also placed under house arrest and waiting to be participated.

Li Jinglong was frightened when he heard the news, he knew that if he continued like this, it would be himself who would be disadvantaged, so he immediately announced that he would go on a hunger strike and apologize!

And and always and

Yang Xu was following the big matchmaker Ru Chang to the Dingguo Mansion to give a dowry gift at this time, this is a recruitment, and after the recruitment, this family affair is completely settled, and the little beauty will be the Yang family from now on.

The Dingguo Mansion welcomed Ming'er's second brother Xu Yingxu, and now he can only be the head of the Xu family to preside over the marriage of his sister, so he hurried back to Beijing, and he also brought his nephew Xu Jingchang and the female matchmaker Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng, who actually knew nothing about the wedding ceremony.

The Xu family opened the door of the mansion, and the three of them went out. The waiters holding and carrying various gifts outside the door were discharged for a mile, Ru Chang and Xia Qi stood at the front, dressed in full costumes, Xu Yingxu hurriedly greeted them, and asked with a smile: "Why did the two of you come here?" ”

Ru Chang smiled and arched his hand and said: "Yang Xu, the prince of the auxiliary country, is very affectionate and follows the ceremony." If there is a coin that is not shy, dare to ask for it. ”

Zhu Neng stood there with a pair of bear eyes and watched the excitement, as if nothing happened, Xu Jingchang was anxious, and quickly turned him with his elbow, Zhu Neng turned his head, Xu Jingchang had pretended to be idle and looked at him. Zhu Neng followed his gaze, it turned out to be a tall poplar tree, a bird's nest on the tree, looking left and right, puzzled, and asked strangely: "Dingguo Gong, what do you want the old man to see?" ”

"Ahem!"

Xu Jingchang coughed a little embarrassed, covered his nose and whispered, "Grandpa Guo, it's time for you to speak." ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Neng panicked: "What did I say?" ”

Xu Jingchang reminded in a low voice: "The auxiliary state is given a heavy gift, and Xu Dudu dares not to accept it." ”

Zhu Neng sighed, immediately took a step forward, raised his eyebrows, and said loudly in the heroic voice he had cultivated on the battlefield: "The Auxiliary State Gong gives a heavy gift, and Xu Dudu dares not to accept it?" ”

This voice startled both the guest and the host, looking at his horizontal knife posture, this is the Xu master's family to be courteous, if he is given a cold knife in his hand, Xu Yingxu dares to be rude, he will cut it down.

Xu Yingxu couldn't cry or laugh, so he replied to Ru Chang according to his words, the two sides bowed to each other, and marched into the house side by side.

Far away, a high pavilion, far away, the host and guest of honor and not squint, originally not afraid of being seen, but the pavilion is still only half a curtain cage, a picturesque pretty girl hidden behind the curtain cage quietly watched, saw that the Yang family sent so many gifts, the messengers in front of them have entered the second hall, the waiter who carries the gifts is still a long line, and there is no end to it, and he can't help but sneer: "This idiot, he has only been a national prince for a few days, and his family background is very solid, such a toss!" ”

Ming'er felt sorry for her husband, and this dowry gift was given, but she couldn't help but carry it back with the girl.

Not far behind him, there was a beautiful woman sitting at the table, it was the queen mother of the Xu family, hearing her sister's words, Queen Xu was angry and funny, and said: "You girl, you haven't married yet, you have spoken to others, and the Xu family has raised you for many years." ”

"Sister!"

Xu Ming'er's face turned red with shame, and she turned around and smiled: "Isn't this the 'women's morality' that my sister taught others, isn't my sister good to my brother-in-law?" ”

Empress Xu smiled and sighed: "You, I really don't know what kind of drug he poured on you!" ”

Looking at the happy appearance of the girl, a warmth slowly came to my heart. Although it was a good thing to be a stumbling block at the beginning, it was a good thing to ruin my sister, but it was also because she wanted to protect her sister's interests and happiness, and her sister married a satisfactory husband, and she was of course happy for it. Seeing her sister's shy and timid appearance, Queen Xu suddenly remembered her original appearance, how similar it was to today's sister's expression. He came to the house to collect the levy, hid behind the screen, and quietly repented...

Empress Xu woke up from her memories, and instructed with some unease: "Ming'er, after the recruitment, in terms of name, you are Yang Xu's person, stay at home and wait for marriage, and before the candles in the cave room, you can't resist seeing him again." ”

"People know...... my sister has said it eight hundred times!"

Ming'er dragged on with a long voice, but a pair of wonderful eyes stared at the person who was about to enter the hall in the distance, full of joy.

Outside the main hall of the Xu family, the two sides of the guest of honor stood still, bowed to each other, walked into the hall, stood in the hall, bowed again, gave a speech to each other, and then exchanged letters, and then bowed to each other, and each turned around to hand over the letter to the people around them to collect, and the gift of accepting the levy was over.

Both parties relaxed, sat down and talked and laughed, and most of the things they said were related to the wedding, the structure of the new house, the color of the furniture, the guests to the banquet, and so on. But these are all Ru Chang and Xu Yingxu are talking, from time to time Zhu Neng will interject, and Xia Qi will call Xu Jingchang aside, and the two of them muttered without knowing what they were saying, which seemed very mysterious. However, looking at the smiles on the faces of the two, the topic should be very relaxed.

After the levy, it is generally two months at the earliest to welcome the family, plus some other preparations, it has to be scheduled to the beginning of September, in fact, this time is very good, if the time is too early, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River is hot and humid, and the road is married in the middle of summer, the bride and groom and the guests have to sweat like their faces, very sinful, and at that time to get married, a large number of wine and meat food purchased are not easy to preserve.

Today is the Na Zheng ceremony, Xia Shi should not stay too long, the two sides talked and laughed for a while, drank a cup of tea, Xia Shi and Ru Chang got up to say goodbye, Xu Yingxu and Xu Jingchang sent the two of them out of the mansion solemnly, then took off their robes, and hurried to the back house to see the queen's sister, and reported to her about today's Na Zheng and some wedding topics.

Because the huge attendant infantry was too conspicuous, after leaving the Dingguo Mansion, Xia Qi sent them back first, and he and Ru Chang walked slowly with more than a dozen guards. On a June day, the weather was hot and humid, and the two chatted with each other, just turning the corner of the street, a person rushed by the side of the road, and was immediately stopped by Xia Tao's vigilant guards.

The man jumped to his feet and said, "I ask to see the Auxiliary Prince, I have an urgent matter, I ask to see the Auxiliary Prince!" ”

Ru often saw this situation, and smiled at Xia Qing: "Guogong, I'll take the first step."

"There's Lord Lao!"

Xia Shi arched his hand to Ru Chang, watched him ride away, turned his head to look at the person in charge of the costume on the side of the road, and said, "Call him over!" ”

The man hurriedly rushed to Xia Shi, turned over and fell to the ground, kowtowed and begged: "Grandpa Guo, my master, please see Grandpa Guo!" ”

Xia Qi frowned and said, "Who is your master?" ”

The man wailed: "My lord is Cao Guogong, Grandpa Guo, save my lord, my lord has been on hunger strike for ten days, and the water and rice have not entered!" ”

Xia Qi was taken aback: "Have you been on a hunger strike for ten days? ......, is Cao Guogong still alive? ”

"Thanks to the Guogong for asking, my lord is still alive!"

Xia Shi was speechless immediately, on such a hot day, Li Jinglong didn't eat water and rice for ten days, and he was still alive, such a bone doesn't go to be a ninja, really
