Volume 8 Chapter 220 Zhang Xiang Gets Married
The prince is going to ascend the throne, and the prince's marriage is also about to start preparations, Zhang Bin's meaning, the marriage before the year, and the enthronement ceremony after the year, so that it will not seem too hasty, if the New Year is a wedding ceremony and an enthronement ceremony, you have to busy people to death.
He just told Qi Fanghua about this idea, but it was a big disaster, because Qi Fanghua was reluctant to have her daughter, not only was she reluctant, almost everyone in Zhangfu was reluctant, Qi Fanghua cried, and many people cried!
The Huang family, who rushed to hear the news, cried, Zhang Chengde, who came with him, also cried, and other children cried, and even Hong Rong'er and a few concubines also cried.
This scene suddenly made Zhang Bin at a loss, he didn't know how to comfort his family, because he couldn't bear his baby daughter, and he wanted to cry!
In the end, Zhang Bin had no choice but to go to the palace to discuss the marriage with the prince under the pretext of going to the palace, and then he ran away with red eyes and gray.
The crown prince Zhu Cihong was really taken aback by his appearance, and as soon as he saw Zhang Bin, he ran up and pulled Zhang Bin's arm, and asked anxiously: "Master, what's wrong with you, your eyes are so red?" ”
It's not a good thing that your kid did, Zhang Bin glanced at him, and said angrily: "Xiang'er is going to be imprisoned in the palace, can I be happy as a father?" ”
Zhu Cihong was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, but when he saw Zhang Bin's expression, he quickly withdrew his smiling face and said embarrassedly: "This, this, master, it's not so serious, how dare I not let her out of the palace." ”
Zhang Bin couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Alas, it's not a matter of you letting it go, once Xiang'er becomes the queen, she must be the mother of the world, how can she run to her mother's house all day long, doesn't this make people see jokes." ”
Zhu Cihong was stunned for a moment, and then comforted: "This, if Xiangxiang is inconvenient to leave the palace, you can enter the palace to see her, even if you all move to the palace, it doesn't matter, otherwise, after I ascend the throne, this Ciqing Palace will be changed to Zhangfu, you all move in, master, what do you think?" ”
How can this kind of ridiculous thing work, he just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but Zhang Yan suddenly ran in and said with concern: "Lord Zhang, what's wrong with you, your eyes are red?" ”
When Zhang Bin saw his peerless appearance, his heart couldn't help but flutter, and a rather evil thought suddenly burst out of his mind, "Wouldn't it be possible to get along with Zhang Yan day and night when you move into Ciqing Palace, and even ...... secretly." ”
Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head, threw this evil idea out of his mind, and then said embarrassedly: "This, everyone is reluctant to Xiang'er, as soon as I heard that she was going to enter the palace, everyone cried, and I couldn't help but cry, which made Niangniang smile." ”
It turned out that this was the case, Zhang Yan hurriedly comforted: "This palace is not far from your Zhang Mansion, if you want to Xiang'er, you can enter the palace at any time to see her." ”
Zhu Cihong hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, Aunt Huang, I just told the master that if it is really not possible, let them move their family to Ciqing Palace to live, so that there will be no pain of separation." ”
Zhang Yan was stunned when she heard this, and then her face slowly turned red, and she didn't know what she thought, she actually nodded shyly and said: "Well, Hong'er is a good idea, he moves to Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, and I am left alone in the entire Ciqing Palace, if Rong'er and Fanghua can move over, it will naturally be the best." ”
Okay, this topic really can't go on, Zhang Bin was afraid that he couldn't help it, so he made a foolish thing, he hurriedly put aside the topic and said: "It's not easy for me to come forward to handle this marriage, Hong'er is young, and I don't have this experience, why don't I leave it all to the Ministry of Rites, what do you think?" ”
What can Zhu Cihong have any opinions, to put it bluntly, he is still a child, and Zhang Yan has no opinion, because she has never handled any marriages, and the royal family's weddings are generally handled by the Ministry of Rites, and the complicated process, non-professionals don't know how to start at all.
The marriage was thus decided, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, the cabinet scholar Cai Shanji personally presided over, the British Gongzhang Zhiji acted as a matchmaker, and the crown prince Zhu Cihong married Zhang Xiang, the eldest daughter of Zhang Bin, the first assistant of the cabinet, and chose an auspicious day for the wedding.
As soon as the news spread, the whole capital became a sensation again, Zhang Bin's deeds are almost a household name in the entire capital, he married his eldest daughter to the prince Zhu Cihong, the information contained in it does not know how huge, for a while, this marriage has become the number one topic of gossip in the capital, that guy, and even the greeting between the people of the capital have become: "Do you know, the daughter of the first assistant of the cabinet, Lord Zhang, is going to marry the prince, I tell you ......." ”
said everything, but Zhang Bin didn't have time to listen, because he was busy, although he didn't have to handle the marriage, but he had to notify his relatives and friends, he married his daughter and married the prince of the dynasty, and it would be a big faux pas if he didn't notify his relatives and friends of such a big thing.
After a series of complicated processes such as Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, and asking for dates, the wedding date was finally set, which was set on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, that is, three days before the Chinese New Year.
The wedding date must come down, and you can send an invitation, how many relatives and friends does Zhang Bin have, he really hasn't calculated this, in short, tens of thousands of copies of the red invitation have been printed, and his hand signing is cramping!
At this moment, the entire Ming Dynasty was almost a sensation, entering Beijing to participate in Zhang Xiang's wedding in all directions, in an endless stream, the official road was full of convoys, and the direction was almost all Beijing, just like a hundred rivers entering the sea, if you can come, it is the head of the family to lead the team, drag the family with the mouth, you can bring as many people as you want, you can bring as many people as you can, you can't come if you have responsibilities, that is also the eldest son to lead the team, a bunch of people to go.
Ning Yuan's ancestral family;
the Mao family in Zhenjiang;
the Cao family of Wuqing;
the Qi family in Dengzhou;
Fengyang's Qi family;
the Bi family in Huizhou;
the Wen family of Cheung Chau;
the Xu family in Songjiang;
the Huang family in Funing;
the Li family in Yanping;
the Zheng family of Dongfan;
the Cao family in Datong;
the Qin family in Chungju;
And so on, from north to south, from east to west, Daming didn't know how many wealthy families rushed to the capital.
Anyway, it's going to be the New Year, and these people are still running to the capital, is it just this year?
In fact, this is also the day that Zhang Bin deliberately picked, because the crown prince Zhu Cihong will ascend the throne after the New Year, and most of these people will also come to celebrate, so it is better to let him come over in advance to build momentum for the prince's accession to the throne and kick off the prelude to the upcoming prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
How many people are coming to the wedding?
Zhang Bin doesn't know how many people there are, in short, it won't be less than 100,000!
The inns, temples and other places in the capital are basically full, Zhang Bin's mansion, and even the mansions of his cronies Bi Maokang, Cai Shanji and others are also full, on the day of the wedding, the entire imperial city is full of banquets, and Zhang Bin received millions of taels for congratulatory gifts alone!
Of course, he didn't care about this money, he didn't ask for any of it, and stuffed it all into his daughter's dowry.
Zhang Xiang can be regarded as the richest queen ever, and the dowry and bride price that Zhang Bin bought for him alone add up to tens of millions of taels, but she has created more than that, there are many, many more.
For example, in terms of the number of relatives and friends, it is unprecedented, even if it is a single round of the force of her uncles, it will also scare individuals to death, Qi Yuangong, Qi Yuanfu, Qi Yuanbi, Qi Panzong, Qi Xianzong, Qi Zhenzong, etc., all of them are masters among masters, to put it mildly, if Zhu Cihong dares to bully her, she doesn't need Zhang Bin to make a move, she can't bear any of these uncles Zhu Cihong.
Zhu Cihong is not very sensible, he is going to be sensible, it is estimated that he will be frightened, goose dripping obediently, this wife can be married, even if he becomes the emperor, he can't afford to provoke it!
