Chapter 151: Marriage (I)
"Master Hou, our Zhuangzi is getting more and more lively. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Chang Le is not there, but Gao Jun accompanies Xuan Shijing outside."
Xuan Shijing looked at the crowded Dongshan Market and smiled: "This is just the beginning, when this Dongshan Market opens, it will be lively, let's go, go to the lake and have a look." ”
Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the merchants who have moved in to the Dongshan Market have hung red lanterns at the door of their homes, which is festive, and the lanterns are estimated to be hung until the day of the official opening.
The beautiful scenery of Dongshan County is slightly famous in Chang'an City, and there are many people who bring their companions to Dongshan Lake to play on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"This scene, put it more than ten years ago, I don't dare to think about it." Xuan Shijing sighed.
Gao Jun also came from the Hou Mansion at that time, so he can naturally understand Xuan Shijing's mood, the Hou Mansion more than ten years ago, plus the Zhuangzi of Dongshan County, was poor Ding Dong Xiang, and the granary in the treasury could run a carriage, who would have thought that in the blink of an eye for more than ten years, today's Hou Mansion dare not say that it is rich and rivals the country, but in Chang'an City, in terms of spending money, there is no one who can compare to the Hou Ye of Dongshan.
"Master Hou, are you nervous?" Gao Jun asked suddenly.
"Nervous about what?" Xuan Shijing didn't know what to do.
"On the first day of the ninth month, but the day you and Princess Jinyang got married, after this September, before the end of the year, Master Hou will get married." Gao Jun said: "Your marriage with Princess Jinyang has spread throughout Chang'an City. ”
"I'm a little nervous when I say that." Xuan Shijing smiled: "What, this is your experience as a person who has come over?" ”
Gao Jun smiled embarrassedly: "Since we went to Longxi, to come back from Longxi, I knew in my heart that I and Long'er must be together, when I had this idea in my heart, I was not nervous at all, but when it really came to the day when I wanted to get married, I was nervous, and when I became a parent, I was no longer alone, and I didn't dare to rush up like before. ”
Xuan Shijing nodded: "Yes, becoming a parent, that is, becoming a family, with people behind you, with a wife and children, your life is not just your own life, your life and death are all tugging at the heartstrings of your family, before marriage, it was a boy, and the sense of responsibility is not so great, then after becoming a parent, it is a man, and a pair of shoulders have to carry the family and the responsibility that they should carry." ”
"What Master Hou said makes sense." Gao Jun thought about what Xuan Shijing said, it was indeed the same thing.
"It's been a while since I saw your child, and I have time to take it to Zhuangzi for a walk." Xuan Shijing said.
"That unsuccessful kid, I know that the girls of the Zhao family are around all day long, at a young age, I, who is a father, can't beat or scold, and I'm helpless." Speaking of his own children, the happy smile on Gao Jun's face couldn't be stopped.
The child of the Zhao family, that is, the daughter of Marshal Zhao and Xiao Huan, is also two years old this year, and the two children got together and scurried around in the yard, followed by several mothers-in-law and maids, for fear of bumping into each other.
"This shows that your son has a better future than you as a father." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
Time passed, the originally young Gao Jun had grown a beard and became more mature and stable, and after Marshal Zhao became his father, he also began to grow a beard, as for Chang Le, he is still a bachelor who does his own thing, but it is positive to find a partner for Chang Ying, Chang Ying's lifelong event, in Chang Le's heart, is still a matter of heart.
On the first day of the ninth month, Li Chunfeng looked at the auspicious day calculated by the stars at night, early in the morning, Li Ke took the officials of the Ministry of Rites to ride a horse to Zhuangzi, and when he arrived at Zhuangzi, it was already halfway, and Zhuangzi was already ready at the door of the Xuanjia mansion.
The dowry came up according to the list written by Xuan Shijing, just the team that gave the dowry gift, it could go around the entire Zhuangzi two circles, and the Zhuangzi couldn't find so many people to carry the dowry for a while, so Xuan Shijing simply used his power for personal gain, and dispatched the five hundred soldiers in the camp, and then found many people in the Zhuangzi next door, plus the people in the house, which was enough for the number.
When Li Ke and the officials of the Ministry of Rites came to the door of the house, they were shocked by the waiting team at the door.
In the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was a style of extravagance in marrying, even if the customs were so, the officials of the Ministry of Rites could be regarded as having seen a big scene, the marriage between the nobles and nobles of the family, and the dowry was often millions of dollars, but those people compared with the Hou Mansion in front of them were undoubtedly trivial.
"His Royal Highness King Wu, this dowry ...... It's too much, I'm afraid, it's not in line with the system......" After the official of the Ministry of Rites got off the horse, he secretly pulled Li Ke's sleeve and whispered in Li Ke's ear.
Li Ke shook his head and said with a smile: "No, there is no provision in this Tang Dynasty law that stipulates the dowry to be given for marriage, right?" ”
"That's right." The official of the Ministry of Rites said, sighing in his heart, this Dongshan Marquis is too fucking rich, the god of wealth.
Li Ke came, Zhong Zishuo waited at the door of the mansion as a housekeeper, and after seeing people, he politely invited people into the house.
Xuan Shijing was waiting for the two in the hall, and the marriage book was sandwiched in a hard-shell post, and two big characters were written beautifully on the cover with gold powder: marriage book.
After seeing Li Ke and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Xuan Shijing got up to greet him.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Wu."
And the official of the Ministry of Rites also bowed to Xuan Shijing: "I've seen Master Hou." ”
"Xiao Jing, what's outside the door is your dowry?" Li Ke confirmed.
"Yes, when I set off in a while, I have to worry a little more about His Royal Highness King Wu, the line is quite long, there are not enough people on Zhuangzi, I am a person who was found from ten miles and eight towns after a patchwork, but for the sake of safety, I also want to ask His Royal Highness King Wu to send people to keep an eye on it along the way."
The queue is long, and it is inevitable that there will be some carelessness, and today, Xuan Shijing does not want anything to go wrong.
"That's no problem, I'll quickly send a team from the Xuanjia Army." As he spoke, he untied the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the guards beside him: "Go to the camp and send a team over and arrange it along the way between Dongshan County and Chang'an City to prevent accidents." ”
The Xuanjia Army is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, but Li Ke, as the commander of the Xuanjia Army, can still transfer some teams within a certain authority, and today, even if the Xuanjia Army is moved, His Majesty Li Er will not say anything.
"This is the marriage letter." Xuan Shijing picked up the written marriage book from the table and handed it to Li Ke.
