199 The Emperor asks about the marriage
Chu Tianxiu and Shen Wanbao talked in detail, he went to sell the glass in those places, and handed over those places to Shen Wanbao to sell.
Shen Wanbao left satisfied, and went back to repay his father Shen Dafu.
In fact, whether it was the previous faint paper or the newspaper, it was a small amount of money and hard money. And after the price of paper is reduced, the profit is also thin. The Shen family's expenses are just enough for the Shen family's daily expenses at most, which is far from a big industry like silk.
The main business of the Shen family has always been silk.
However, the luxury of glass, the top jewelry, is almost comparable to silk, and once it is bigger, the profit is unimaginable.
The Shen family made the glaze industry, and they didn't have to hang themselves on the silk tree in the future.
Moreover, this industry was completely started by him Shen Wanbao and Xiao Duhou, and in the future, he will be half the sky in the Shen family, and he will no longer have to worry that his father Shen Dafu will not give him silver.
...
Jinling Imperial Palace.
Emperor Xiang Yanran was reading the spring sowing reports of the counties of Great Chu.
Since Gengzi's New Deal, everything has been complicated.
But agriculture is the foundation. As long as there is a bumper grain yield and there is no famine in the world, this great Chu dynasty will be as stable as Mount Tai.
However, mixed with various reports, there are also many dazzling complaints sent by the princes and kings.
In the complaint, half of the accusation is occupied by Chu Tianxiu, the Marquis of Xiaodu, and the remaining small part actually has the Suping Wangfu - suing the righteous brother Ping Wang, which has never happened before.
And there is no one who sues the Dull Marquis, and it is estimated that everyone knows the face of the old Dull Marquis Chuyong. Even his son has been sent to the family, and there is nothing to do. Come to think of it, no one is going to tell the old man.
"Recently, there have been a lot of people suing Xiao Duhou! Since I ascended the throne, I have never seen the anger of the heavens and the resentment of people, like the little dusk marquis! ”
Xiang Yanran sighed.
Cai and the big eunuch were listening, their faces full of embarrassment, it was not the little faint marquis who carried this black pot for the emperor.
There is no little faint marquis to carry this black cauldron.
What people in the world scolded in this world is that the emperor is mediocre and perverse.
"However, these people are too bold, and even my righteous brother Ping Wangfu dares to sue. King Ping's meritorious service is huge, and he has been diligent and diligent for decades.
What did you say that a cellar was dug in the palace of King Ping, and thousands of armor and ordnance were hidden, with ill intentions!? ”
Xiang Yanran's eyes lit up.
Cai and the great eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't be bewitched by these villains, these are false accusations.
King Ping's loyalty, the old slave is in the eyes.
They were forced to be anxious by the little dusk, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, chasing the wind and shadows, and wanted to bite out of anything, hoping to bite out a hole. ”
This matter should not have been intervened by the eunuchs.
However, a few days ago, the Marquis of Xiao Duan entered the palace and gave some gifts to the queen mother, queen, and concubines of the harem.
The little dusk marquis conveniently stuffed one or two pieces into the arms of their big eunuchs, all of which were extremely rare glass treasures.
Stuff isn't too much either.
But it's rare!
There are not many people who give gifts to the concubines in the palace and still think about the eunuchs.
The Great Chu Emperor is wise and martial, the ministers of the court are all powerful, and there is no one to mess with the queen mother and concubines in the harem, these eunuchs are all grandsons, and they don't have much power in their hands.
The relationship between the big eunuchs in the palace and the little dusk marquis is average, but after receiving the gift of the little dusk marquis, they were overjoyed for a while, and the atmosphere changed greatly.
Anyway, the emperor reused the little dusk marquis and the king of peace, and the little dusk marquis didn't do anything, and it didn't hurt Cai He to say the last sentence.
"I know it. The little dusk marquis suffered this crime for me, and King Ping was implicated by the little dusk marquis! ”
Xiang Yanran sighed.
When the courtiers suffered for the emperor and bore the infamy, there is nothing more loyal than this.
"By the way, there's one more thing.
I gave the marriage to the Marquis of Xiao Duan and the Lord of Danyang, the holy decree has been issued for half a year, why has I not seen the Pingwang Mansion so far, and the wedding is being held in a big way? ... Could it be that King Ping is not satisfied with this marriage? ”
Xiang Yanran suddenly remembered this incident and was a little puzzled.
However, that's not right.
At the beginning, it was Li Rong, the king of Ping, and Chu Yong, the old dusk marquis, who rushed into the palace and asked for a holy decree to be granted a marriage.
The county lord of Danyang is Li Rong's only daughter, and if she doesn't marry, she can only recruit a son-in-law.
The marquis-level son-in-law, it is estimated that Da Chu will not be able to find a second one.
It can be seen that King Ping is still happy to recruit a little marquis as his son-in-law.
But the delay in the wedding still made him wonder.
"The old slave went to inquire about this matter, and he knew a little bit about it. Civilians are rich, the operation is simple, and a banquet is over the door.
But the larger the family, the more exquisite the gift of entering the family.
First, the wealthy man was allowed to live in the house, which meant that the man took the woman as his home.
Half a year later, the dowry was given and the wedding date was set. Count the days, the engagement is coming.
After a year, on the auspicious day of the wedding, the two families got married. The woman stays at her grandmother's house, and the man goes from the house to 'marry' the woman.
All these weddings, dowries, sedan chairs, and drum music are all handled as if they were married. Even the name is not called a marriage, but a marriage.
Pingwangfu is the first-class nobleman of Dachu, and the lord of Danyang is an only daughter, so this marriage naturally cannot be hasty, and it is all in accordance with the highest rules.
So this wedding will not be too early, it should be at the end of the year. ”
Cai and the great eunuch said.
Because there are not many people who come to the house, and even fewer people who enter the wealthy, most people don't understand the rules of the wealthy.
Cai and the great eunuch still went to consult some senior matchmakers, and asked some old people before they understood the mystery.
Emperor Xiang Yanran then understood.
The ceremony of entering the palace is quite cumbersome, and it is not simpler than marrying a relative.
"Oh, I see."
Xiang Yanran pondered and said: "In a few days, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival, which is a rare auspicious day of the zodiac!" Although it is not yet the wedding day, the engagement banquet can still be organized!
You go to King Ping's mansion and talk to King Ping, prepare for the engagement banquet of the Dragon Boat Festival, and feast guests. This important thing must be done well.
I want to personally go to the Marquis of Xiao Duan and the Lord of Danyang to be the witnesses of the engagement banquet.
I want the world to know that those gossips will not affect the status of King Ping and Xiao Duhou in the slightest. The little dusk marquis sold his life for me, and I supported him. ”
"Yes, the old slave will go to the Pingwang Mansion to help Zhang Luo with this matter, and the engagement banquet will be grand! Your Majesty, you personally became a witness to the marriage, which is a blessing that Xiao Duhou has cultivated for eight lifetimes. ”
Cai and the great eunuch hurriedly laughed.
The emperor went to be a witness to the marriage of the Marquis of Xiao Du, and this face was big.
The Marquis of Xiao Duan does not lack titles, nor does he lack silver. The face given by the emperor, in front of the princes and magnates of the city, to support him is what is most needed.
