Chapter 669 - Poor to Eat Soil (Happy National Day, Ask for a Monthly Pass)

"Mother, princess, I'm married!" Chen Xu led Ying Shiyan to Chen Jiang and said with a smile.

"Daughter-in-law Shiyan visits her mother-in-law!" Ying Shiyan walked up to Chen Jiang with a blushing neck and saluted.

"Chen Jiang's gift to the fifth princess!" Although Chen Jiang couldn't close his mouth with a smile, he also hurriedly saluted Ying Shiyan.

"Shi Yan meets Sister Shui!" Ying Shiyan gave Shui a gentle salute again, and Shui gently returned the salute, and then reached out to hold Ying Shiyan's hand and smiled and said, "My sister will go to the wedding room with me to freshen up first, and my husband will marry Wan Niang back to hold a wedding together!" ”

"Yes, sister!" Ying Shiyan lowered her head and followed the water softly behind her to approach the courtyard, Wanwan and several female teachers from the women's college, as well as Fan Caiying and a group of women, also followed with a smile, surrounding Ying Shiyan in the middle and constantly teasing.

Because Ying Shiyan and Shui Qingrou are both teachers in the women's college, and they are very familiar with Wanwan and others, they came together today to help prepare for the wedding, and Fan Caiying's identity Shui Qingrou has already agreed, so she also specially sent a letterhead to invite her to decorate the wedding room together.

After marrying a wife, the Marquis of Qinghe didn't have time to rest, so after the housekeeper arranged for Gongzi Fusu and Gongzi Gao to send a group of royal families, he arranged for someone to carry the geese and gifts to the car, and then hurriedly set off with the team to marry another wife.

However, that wife is still too young and needs to be raised for a few years before she can use it.

Although it was winter, the weather was not bad, and the sky was a little overcast, but it didn't look like it was going to snow.

The convoy of people welcoming relatives beat gongs and encouraged lions as usual, and threw a lot of candy, chestnuts and coins along the way, and in the warm cheers of the people along the way, the convoy soon came to Mongol.

Meng Yi's mentality of marrying his daughter is similar to that of the emperor, everything in the house has already been prepared, and the guests are all here to congratulate the marrying daughter, because it is the emperor who is the matchmaker, and the three books and six ceremonies have already been completed, just wait for Chen Xu to marry his daughter today.

Chen Xu arrived at the Mongolian Mansion, next to Meng Yi, Meng Yi's wife and uncle Meng Yun and Meng's relatives one by one, and greeted the guests who came to celebrate, sent the geese and the welcome book, the officials of the Ministry of Rites wrote the names of the bride and groom and signed the name together with Zhao Wei, the Shaofu Ling who represented the emperor as a matchmaker, the last step of the three books and six ceremonies was completely completed, and the wedding was held after going back, and the marriage was completed.

Several maids came out surrounded by Meng Wan, Chen Xu only glanced at it, and then felt that he couldn't take his eyes off.

A well-tailored modified version of the gorgeous skirt, wearing suede boots under her feet, although it is winter, it is not bloated, it should be a sweater inside, there is a snow-white mink scarf around the neck, the hair is neatly combed and tied behind the head, and the snow-white smooth little face without the slightest flaw is painted with a faint red face, faint red lips, and bright big eyes, as if an elf girl who has traveled through time and space Chu Chu stood in front of Chen Xu movingly.

This dress and Lori look are easy to make people think about it.

Seeing that Chen Xu was a little in a daze, and it seemed that his eyes fell on his chest as if he had a feeling, Meng Wan's little face instantly blushed, and she lowered her head and saluted: "Wan Niang to see Master Hou!" ”

"Oh, good, Wan Niang is so beautiful today!" Chen Xu came back to his senses and nodded.

"Master Hou, three books and six ceremonies are ready, the little sister will officially be the wife of the Hou Ye today, my father ordered Meng Yun to send the little sister to marry, Hou Ye please!" Meng Yun smiled and arched his hand.

"The father-in-law and mother-in-law are on top, and they are worshiped by the son-in-law!" Chen Xu bowed deeply to Meng Yi and his mother-in-law.

"Virtuous son-in-law is exempt!" Meng Yi smiled very satisfied and helped Chen Xu up.

"Wan'er, today's wedding, after I go back, I will take care of Master Hou, respect my mother-in-law and two sisters, remember not to be willful!" Meng Yi's wife's eyes were red, and she held Meng Wan's hand and was unwilling to let go.

"The auspicious time for the wedding is coming, don't be a little daughter, the virtuous son-in-law will take Wan'er back to complete the marriage!" Meng Yi and the emperor generally didn't care about the farewell of his wife and daughter.

Meng Yun also persuaded beside him: "Mother, my little sister is not married to a foreign country, why should you be sad, if you want to be a little sister, go to the Hou Ye's mansion to visit!" ”

Under the persuasion of her husband and son, Meng Yi's wife finally put away her tears, took Meng Wan's hand and sent her daughter to Chen Xu's wedding car.

"Husband, Wan'er is only thirteen years old, how can she endure the suffering of humanity when she marries so early!" Meng Yi's wife watched her daughter go away, and couldn't help but start crying sadly.

"In the woman's opinion, the Marquis of Qinghe is not an ordinary person, how can he not understand the etiquette of humanity, rest assured, Wan'er will not suffer if he follows him, Yun'er is right, you can go to the Marquis of Qinghe's Mansion more if you have nothing to do, and play mahjong with Chen Jiang's family, my Mengshi's future glory and wealth may all be on him alone......"

A grand wedding was held in the Qinghe Marquis Mansion.

The Marquis of Qinghe married two mothers-in-law at one time, and both of them were of high status.

The entire Qinghe Marquis Mansion was lively and jubilant, hundreds of guests gathered together to witness this unprecedented luxury wedding, there were more than ten cars of silk jewelry for the palace alone, but Chen Xu just glanced at it when he passed by, and then his face twitched for a long time, these things were given to him by the Fan family and the Central Plains counties last time, and then the valuable goods he selected were sent to the palace, but he didn't expect most of them to be married back today.

And Meng Yi's dowry is much shabby, a car of silk, a car of porcelain, a car of gold, silver, pearls and jade, and the rest of the clothes and bedding, although there are a lot of them, but it doesn't look like it's high-grade, but Chen Xu thinks about Meng Yi's family situation, this gift is actually not thin, there are four or five hundred people in Meng Yi's house, Chen Xu, who was poor before he didn't operate porcelain, was embarrassed to come to the door to get food, since the new porcelain went on the market, the financial situation in the house has changed greatly, I heard that he married a few more concubines, And I heard that he would also buy a villa outside the city, and build tap water and swimming pools in imitation of Chen Xu's villa, these Meng Yun had already talked to him, and the purpose was naturally to hope that this magical brother-in-law who had money and leisure would help arrange it.

At noon, not long after the wedding began, Shaofu Ling Zhao Wei hurriedly came with a brocade silk in his hand, and the two palace people who came with him were still holding two silk books in their hands.

"The emperor's edict, today the Marquis of Jingyang and Princess Huayu are happy to get married, and they will be given 100 horses, 500 cattle and sheep, 300 slaves, 100 maids, and 200,000 ......."

All the guests who came to congratulate couldn't help but exclaim and commotion.

It's over, and I'm going to be so poor that I eat dirt in the future.

Chen Xu was dumbfounded, Nima is still unreasonable, even if the reward is paid, every time he has to reward so many cattle, sheep, horses and slaves and maids, how can Lao Tzu live?

Zhao Wei finished reading a silk book, and then picked up a silk book from another palace person and unfolded it.

"The emperor's edict added 3,000 households to the Marquis of Jingyang, 100 hectares of land, and 100 hectares of mountains and forests......"

"Wow~~" The guests in the courtyard were all stimulated and their heads were a little ischucked, and the scene became even more turbulent.

Even Gongzi Fusu and Gongzi Gao and all the royal families who came to see off their relatives to attend the wedding felt incredible, His Majesty Nima was about to lose his good knowledge of Qinghe Hou, just marrying a daughter, is it necessary to reward him like this, they don't have so many fields and food.

But looking at the silk book that had not yet been opened in the hands of the remaining palace people, everyone began to be numb again, obviously these two rewards were not finished, and sure enough, Zhao Wei opened the third volume of the silk book after reading it.

"The emperor's edict, Jingyang Marquis Chen Xu is young and intelligent, steelmaking, cement, mills, etc., are all beneficial to the country, it is really my mentor and friend, now I am allowed to marry the Mengshi Nuwan as a wife, with Princess Huayu and Chen Shui's and the gift of the wife, no priority, no respect, the same courtesy, this edict is a special case in the world, all princes and princes and the people can not imitate, violators will be punished according to the law!"

The content of the third edict was peculiar, which seemed to be incompatible with the wedding, but when you thought about it, it made sense, so the guests reacted even more violently after listening to it.

In the Shang Dynasty, marrying wives was more strict, the same clan could not marry, the same surname could not be married, the same clan could not marry, the same clan could not marry, and the same clan could not marry, generally only one formal wife, was a wife, also known as a wife, and in the Zhou Dynasty, the etiquette law was more numerous, but it was still stipulated that men only had one wife, and the Son of Heaven could set up six palaces, but there was only one queen, and the others were side concubines, and there was no title of wife, and the princes were the same, although they gradually evolved into side wives, young wives, Partial wife, lower wife and other titles, but the status of these so-called wives is still equivalent to concubines, and their identities have not changed much.

Qin law stipulates that ordinary people can only marry one wife, not concubines, scholars can marry one wife and two concubines, nobles can also only marry one wife, and the others can only be concubines.

That's what the princes say.

In fact, this provision existed in the Zhou Dynasty, otherwise there would not be a rule in the Zhou Dynasty that the princes of heaven would not be able to establish the eldest and the younger, and the descendants would not be virtuous, and the main wife would have a status, but as long as it was a concubine, no matter how virtuous and benevolent he was, he could not inherit the title, which not only ensured that the status of the wife in the family was conducive to family harmony, but also ensured that the inheritance would not be chaotic and lead to a situation of cannibalism, in fact, it was also a kind of protection for the family, so as not to worry about the heir to the title all day long and worry about his status and want to kill his brothers.

The Great Qin basically continued the regulations of the Zhou Dynasty on this article, and this regulation has influenced later generations for thousands of years.

Now the Marquis of Qinghe has married the Shui family, but the emperor wants to marry the princess to Chen Xu, and at the same time, he personally acts as a matchmaker to marry Meng Yi's daughter to Chen Xu, so almost everyone is still speculating about how the status of Chen Xu's three wives should be distributed.

In terms of identity, the identity of the fifth princess is the most respected, and she can't be a concubine, but Meng Yi's identity as a concubine is also extraordinary, if the emperor is forced to marry the Marquis of Qinghe as a concubine, it will inevitably cause Meng Yi's dissatisfaction, so she can't be a concubine, not to mention that the Shui family is already Chen Xu's wife, he doesn't stop the Shui family, and the emperor can't change her identity and status.

But all kinds of speculations were dissolved at once because of this unique edict.

It turned out that the emperor had already thought that the three wives were all full wives, and they were treated equally regardless of priority, which was really a gift for three wives with equal status.

But this three-wife gift emperor also clearly announced to the world that only Chen Xu, who has two marquis in the world, can enjoy this treatment, and no one else, including the royal family.

"The gift of three wives, alas!" Countless people shook their heads and sighed.

Meng Yun also looked at his brother-in-law Chen Xu with envy and hatred.

He doesn't like the fourth princess, but this wife can't divorce and remarry, if he can't have another son with the fourth princess to inherit his family property in the future, he will be removed from the Daqin nobles, so it is estimated that his father will kill him.

Thinking of the fourth princess's wooden character, Meng Yun couldn't wait to rush up and press Chen Xu, who was receiving the edict, to the ground and rub it fiercely, his own little sister ruined him, he thought that his marriage would take a turn for the better, but he didn't expect to be strangled to death by the emperor.
