Chapter 557: Uncle
Zhao Wei looked at the menacing Gao Zhen, his face was calm, he slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand, and said lightly: "Is there anything wrong with the wedding date?" When will I tell you that I will marry my sister in June next year? Obviously, what I said at the time was that the wedding date would have to be after my sister and Lu in June next year. In this way, it is set in August, which is already considered fast. If it weren't for the fear that the winter would be too cold and freezing my sister, I would have decided to get married in October. ”
Gao Zhen gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile: "Brother Wei, you and I are friends of the general horns, we have known each other since childhood, and after so many years, we are always closer than others." I don't have to mention those nonsense to you. I've been looking forward to this marriage for a long time, and you're also the one who wants to marry, don't you understand my heart? ”
When Zhao Wei heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and no longer maintained the original shelf, but showed a helpless expression, and said to Gao Zhen: "How don't I understand? It's just that if I want to marry as soon as possible, I will also suffer from many constraints. The Son and I are the same. August is really not too early. I wanted to marry within this year, but now it's postponed until next spring. To whom do I complain? ”
Gao Zhen was speechless, did Zhao Wei want to pull him into the water together? But how can this be compared? Zhao Wei's marriage is going to be postponed, it is completely because of the special situation of the Yue family, what does it have to do with him?
He couldn't help but bow his head to Zhao Wei and arched his hand: "Brother, just spare me." "Don't just because you're unlucky, you have to pull others to be unlucky.
Zhao Wei wanted to laugh when he heard it, but his heart was still quite refreshing. Well, even if this prince has a noble status, he still has to snatch his sister. In the end, don't you have to bow your head in front of him and call him "brother"?
When Zhao Xiu heard the news, he happened to see the scene in front of him. I couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. But after staying, she was a little ashamed, why did Gao Zhen call Zhao Wei "brother"? Even if it was to follow her call, it was still early.
When Gao Zhen saw Zhao Xiu coming, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her eyes were glued to her face. Speaking more carefully, the two of them haven't seen each other for more than a month. He was really thinking about it.
Zhao Wei was a little soft-hearted, but when he saw his sister coming, he had a smile on his face. also secretly looked at Gao Zhen, and suddenly hardened his heart again. He coughed twice and glared at Gao Zhen in a warning manner. Although Gao Zhen was reluctant, he obediently withdrew his gaze.
This kind of time. It's better not to annoy the eldest brother. It's a long time coming. When he marries Sister Zhao back, he can watch it for as long as he wants, and he doesn't have to fight for a while.
Zhao Xiu knew what his brother's two coughs meant, his face became even hotter, and he scolded Zhao Wei, so he asked Gao Zhen with a generous smile: "Why is the son here?" Is the prince in good health? Are you still comfortable in the hot spring village? I also wanted to accompany my grandmother to live in the hot spring village for a few days, but there were too many things at home to separate. I had to dismiss my idea. ”
Gao Zhen said with a smile: "The hot spring Zhuangzi is much more comfortable than in the city, even if there is something going on in the house right now." You can't go to the village to escape the cold at this time, but you can also wait until you have time to go. Dr. Ye also said that frail people recuperate in hot springs from time to time, which is good for the body. ”
Zhao Wei saw that the two of them were about to chat, and coughed heavily. Zhao Xiu looked at his brother unhappily: "Brother, is your throat uncomfortable?" Is it on fire? ”
Zhao Wei glared at her: "At the turn of winter and spring, it is most likely to get sick, and my sister has to be careful not to blow the wind." Grandmother is busy there, so my sister should go and see her. Just leave it to me to greet you. After a pause, he couldn't help but add another sentence: "You two are more restrained, even if you are an engaged unmarried couple, don't take the eyes of outsiders to heart." ”
Zhao Xiu's face turned red again, hurriedly saluted, turned his head and left.
Gao Zhen watched her go away, and sighed again. However, when he came to Jiannanhou Mansion today, he was already very satisfied when he saw Zhao Xiu. He already knew in his heart that once they were officially engaged, the chances of the two meeting would be greatly reduced. Today, it was only he who ran away to earn a chance to meet, but he couldn't force more.
He turned back to Zhao Wei with some coarseness and said, "Brother Wei, you told me the truth, can you mention the wedding date further?" Although your wedding date has been postponed for a few months, you only need to wait for a year before you can get a beautiful woman. I think Sister Zhao has been thinking about it for many years, and she has only now got the right letter, and she has to wait for another year and a half. I'm so much more pitiful than you. ”
Zhao Wei snorted coldly: "This day has been decided by me after thousands of choices." June is too early, the weather is still hot, and it is too hard to ask my sister to wear a wedding dress and go out on a hot day. July is not a good day, so it can only be delayed until August. You also know that the three of us have relied on each other for all these years, and it has not been easy. My sister is about to get married, so I always have to let her spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home before leaving. It's August 22, which couldn't be more appropriate. ”
He set this date, and naturally there are a bunch of reasons. Gao Zhen listened, only feeling that every article was thinking about Zhao Xiu, and there seemed to be nothing to argue. He thought about it for a while, and finally sighed: "Okay, if Sister Zhao takes a fancy to this day, I can only agree." Originally, I thought that next year's Mid-Autumn Festival should allow my father to enjoy the mooncakes of his daughter-in-law's filial piety. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Wei became a little uneasy. He has some knots in his heart for Gao Zhen, but he is absolutely respectful and convinced of King Guangping. If this is really the wish of the King of Quang Binh, then ......
Zhao Wei hesitated: "Actually...... The eighth day of August is also a good day......"
Gao Zhen immediately seized the opportunity: "This day is indeed good, when the imperial grandmother read the almanac for me before, she also said that this day is the best, but I was too late at that time." ”
If even the Queen Mother meant this, Zhao Wei would not have insisted on waiting for more than ten days, so he said: "In this case, it will be set on the eighth day of the eighth month of August." ”
Although the wedding date was only advanced by more than ten days, Gao Zhen was still very happy in his heart, and he left happily.
After he left, Zhao Wei thought about it carefully, suspecting that he might have fallen for Gao Zhen, but he wasn't sure if Gao Zhen really calculated him. After thinking about it for a long time, he himself laughed first. got up and went to Zhang's place and told her and Zhao Xiu the news.
Zhang is worried about the marriage of his grandchildren and granddaughter, and when he heard that the wedding date was advanced by more than ten days. He sighed: "I hope it's in time." Although there is still a year and a half, there are still many things to do, and there is still a matter of marrying a wife, and I don't know if I can be busy or not. ”
Zhao Wei hurriedly asked his sister: "Is it really so embarrassing?" ”
Zhao Xiu just smiled: "It's not very troublesome, it's just trivial." What needs to be done, list them one by one, and assign people to do it. We have no shortage of people. There is no shortage of money, and there is still enough time. As long as there are no accidents, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. ”
There was a moment in Zhang's heart. I felt as if I had been slapped in the face. However, she didn't show any abnormality, and only said to her grandson: "Your marriage is ahead, although there is still a year, but what should be done must be done." Your house has only been under repair for less than two years. It doesn't have to be renovated either. Re-paint the plaster, clean inside and out. It's just that if you have a daughter-in-law in the future, the layout of this house will be different from what it is now. You move to the outer study for the time being, and I'll clean up the house for you and get new furniture. After that, you will live in the wing room first, and then you will live in the main room when the marriage is held. ”
Zhao Wei hurriedly agreed.
Zhang said to Zhao Xiu again: "As soon as your brother and sister marry and marry, you should buy whatever you need." Especially for large pieces of wood. It is also necessary to order the goods in advance, so as not to be unable to buy the money when the time comes. There are also all kinds of clothing, jewelry, fat powder, wine, etc. You all need to be prepared. Although our family has six rooms to help us, it is more appropriate to send someone to do this kind of thing. When we went back, we carefully set the list that needed to be purchased, and asked Wang Fulai to take someone down to Jiangnan to do it. There are also men, and both of you need to have someone to wait. If you don't have enough picks at home, you have to buy them outside. When you buy someone, you have to adjust it for half a year before you can call it. ”
Zhao Xiu thought for a while: "There should be no problem with manpower, we have someone in our own house, first follow the family's pick, and then buy it outside if you can't find a suitable one." It is also convenient to use. There are other things to buy, except for wood, which needs to be ordered in advance, other clothing, wine, fat powder, etc., it is best to find a reliable time-honored brand to order, and wait until the wedding is about to be held, and then make a transaction, but also save buying things early and coming back, put it is not fresh, and the color of the clothing is not the most fashionable. ”
Zhang was right to think about it, so he agreed.
The grandparents and grandchildren began to calculate the expenses again, and the Zhang family looked at Zhao Xiu's list of clothes, and suddenly remembered something: "Sister Xiu, have you started to make your wedding dress?" It is for you to embroider it by hand, and the shoes of the Empress Dowager and the King of Guangping also need to be made by yourself. ”
Zhao Xiu coughed lightly and said: "The wedding dress Zongren Mansion will help me prepare, I don't have to embroider it myself, but I have already drawn the patterns for the shoes of the Queen Mother and the King of Guangping, and I will start to do it when I am free for a while." I also plan to make one more forehead wipe for the Queen Mother, go back and draw the style, and show my grandmother first. ”
Zhang was quite satisfied with what he heard, and nodded with a smile.
Just when the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhao family were discussing the preparations for the marriage, Gao Zhen returned to the Guangping Palace. He is in a good mood today, and plans to spend the night in the palace, and then go back to the hot spring Zhuangzi tomorrow. As soon as he entered his yard, he remembered something and ordered someone to go to the Ministry of Works to ask for the drawings for the renovation of the yard.
The Ministry of Engineering hasn't finished drawing yet. At the beginning of spring sowing, some time ago, in order to build water conservancy while the farm was slack, they had only been busy for a round, and they had just taken a breath, and they had not yet had the leisure to be busy with this. But Gao Zhen sent people to urge, and they could only say "It's almost ready" while urging the people below to hurry up.
Gao Zhen was a little depressed, and the palace suddenly made a decree, and the Queen Mother heard that he had returned to the capital, and ordered him to go to Cining Palace to meet him quickly.
Gao Zhen had to enter the palace, and the Queen Mother began to complain as soon as she met: "It's been more than half a month, although there are letters from two ends in three days, but you don't often go back to Beijing to visit the emperor's grandmother, it's really a little conscienceless." ”
Gao Zhen hurriedly said: "The imperial grandmother has wronged her grandson. Doctor Ye was taking medicine for his father on the hot spring village, and his grandson didn't dare to leave lightly for a moment. It was only after the two days that the medicine was stopped, and he dared to walk away for a while. ”
The Queen Mother had already learned about this situation in her grandson's letter, but she just complained in vain. She sighed: "If your father is accompanied by others, you don't have to stay with your father to take care of him." She looked at her grandson, "Zhen'er, what do you think...... Isn't it time for your father to have another room? (To be continued......)
