Seeing that the marriage date is approaching, the eldest concubine Zhang Rou is becoming more and more obsessed with Zhu Jinglun, Zhu Jinglun understands that she has a sense of crisis, and at the same time she is somewhat sorry in her heart, he was born in an era of monogamy, but now he wants to marry a second woman, and instinctively feels that he owes something to the first woman.

Therefore, Zhu Jinglun is always satisfied with Zhang Rou, fortunately, his body is strong enough, even if he sings every night, there is no problem, his body is four times stronger than that of ordinary people.

However, Zhu Jinglun still doesn't understand his daughter's innermost thoughts.

Zhang Rou has a sense of crisis, not that Zhu Jinglun wants to marry a newcomer, to be honest, Zhang Rou has seen Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan was only fourteen at that time, and she also knew that Gao Yuan was a beauty, but the sense of crisis in her heart was not because she was worried that she would fall out of favor, for her, since she was the emperor's concubine, she never thought that she could monopolize Jun'en, she had long been psychologically prepared to accept other women, and even she herself cried many times and begged Zhu Jinglun to marry a few more concubines because she could never conceive a dragon seed.

Zhang Rou's sense of crisis is actually because she has no heirs, and for the women around the emperor, having no heirs is the most terrible thing.

"You've been home a lot lately, haven't you?"

Zhu Jinglun is different from ordinary emperors, he never stopped Zhang Rou from returning to his parents' home, and he couldn't let Zhang Rou do a big deal, and he didn't regard Zhang Rou's return to his family as a big deal, but what made him strange was that Zhang Qianshan was sent to Alaska to be the governor, Zhang Rou's sister-in-law was a good person, and the second sister-in-law has always been at odds with Zhang Rou, mainly because Zhang Rou couldn't get used to this second sister-in-law from a green building, but recently he went home every once in a while.

This kind of abnormality makes Zhu Jinglun very strange.

"Is your eldest brother coming home?"

Zhang Rou shook her head and sighed, Zhang Pan was still drunk and lying in the Qinglou and didn't go home at all.

"I just want to go home and see."

Zhang Rou explained.

Obviously, this is not a reasonable explanation, Zhu Jinglun is more curious, but he does not doubt Zhang Rou's loyalty, so he does not go to investigate.

What he didn't know was that Zhang Rou had reconciled with her second sister-in-law Cuiyun. Cuiyun, a woman in the Qinglou, has a unique way of handling interpersonal relationships, Zhang Rougui is a concubine, and Cuiyun is too late. But she didn't blindly paste it, but talked to Zhang Rou seriously in the tone of a relative.

One time is enough to close Rou's heart.

Because this Qinglou woman told Zhang Rou how to capture a man's heart, he told Zhang Rou that the ancient kings were ruthless, although Emperor Zhu was a rare Ming monarch, but women served people with Israel, and there was always a time when they were old and decrepit, at that time, don't blame the king for being ruthless, if you want to gain the king's heart for a long time, you must give birth to an heir to the emperor.

Cuiyun also told Zhang Rou that once the emperor married a Hakka daughter and gave birth to a son and a half daughter, not to mention the royal family, even an ordinary small family, it must be a small favor, and persuaded Zhang Rou to take advantage of Zhu Jinglun's concubine to entangle the emperor and conceive the dragon seed as much as possible.

Cuiyun also quietly told Zhang Rou some secret methods on how to get pregnant more easily, that kind of strange home remedies secret medicine, she didn't dare to offer, but she was able to tell Zhang Rou some posture skills.

Although her face was red when she listened, Zhang Rou really listened to it, and for this reason, she really accepted this Qinglou woman.

People will grow up, Zhang Rou is no longer the little girl of the past, after marrying a wife, she has matured, she has learned to look at the problem as an imperial concubine, not a sister-in-law from a small family, this is the reason why she can really accept Cuiyun, because Cuiyun is useful to her.

But Cuiyun lobbied her for other things, but she still reprimanded her, Cuiyun told Zhang Rou that this woman in the palace, she had to rely on the power of her relatives, and hoped that Zhang Rou could ask his eldest brother for a half-official position, so that her eldest brother Zhang Pan could take care of it and not blindly cherish Qinglou.

If the eldest brother has a half-official position, it is good to take care of Zhang Rou outside.

But Zhang Rou, who always remembered that women do not interfere in politics, sternly refused this request, and said that her eldest brother was not an official, how could she open her mouth, but left some money for Cuiyun, and told Cuiyun that if there was something in need at home, she would say a word, and she would help if she could.

The greeting ceremony is a trouble, and the ancient emperor did not have the habit of greeting his relatives, but Zhu Jinglun insisted on greeting him.

Zhu Jinglun is not for the sake of being a maverick, he just doesn't want to draw too much line between royal etiquette and the customs of the common people.

Since the common people are going to greet their relatives, how can he, the emperor, not go.

He told the minister that the emperor should have fun with the people, and the minister couldn't resist it, so he could only agree in the end, but on the basis of Zhu Jinglun's personal marriage, they still formulated some etiquette, at least some bad habits in the people's homes, which could not be wanted, such as the mother's family's methods of making things difficult for the groom and the groom, no one dared to mention any popular customs such as making trouble in the cave house and listening to the root of the wall.

The ceremony they set was that Zhu Jinglun wore a yellow robe, went to Heshan in person, first took a boat, then a car, and rode a horse to Heshan, while the bride took a sedan chair, and then welcomed all the way back to Guangzhou City.

The Hakka forces are very happy that Zhu Jinglun can welcome the Hakka daughter in person, it's not that they don't care about the royal etiquette, they think that such an exception can bring out the status of the Hakka daughter, and Gao Yuan's status represents the status of the Hakka people to a certain extent.

They are still too tender, real officialdom politicians will not be different from others, and being able to stand out from everyone is the clever means in officialdom, and standing out from the crowd will only become rafters.

As soon as the day came, all the ceremonies were successfully launched, and the emperor welcomed his relatives, which was taken by the Ministry of Rites as the biggest thing of the year.

The arrangements were properly made, Zhu Jinglun waited for the official's notice, then got on the carriage at the door, went to the wharf to make a big boat, all the way to the Gulao wharf, landed and took the car forward, and when he arrived at the county seat of Heshan, he changed horses at the city gate, knocking and beating along the way.

It was lively, but Zhu Jinglun was still a little disappointed, because there was not a single person to see along the way, it turned out that they had already been dispersed by the soldiers, and they were blocked along the way, and 30,000 troops were mobilized for this. What he really wanted to do with the people was actually impossible to do.

When they arrived at the Gao family, there were a lot of people, but most of them were still official personnel, only a few were the close relatives of the Gao family who had been screened, and ordinary distant relatives could not enter the door at all. It's not just because I'm worried about the danger, but more importantly, I can't squeeze in at all. Heshan has a head and a face, who doesn't want to have a foothold in the Gao family at this time, and who doesn't want to meet the emperor.

But is this a place where anyone can come?

When Zhu Jinglun entered the house, he saw that the local county magistrate was busy moving stools and serving dishes, just like ordinary neighbors who help from a farmer, the local county magistrate can only do this, and those local rich gentry can only hope for it, as for the poor relatives, they will not even have the opportunity to hope for extravagance.

Zhu Jinglun didn't know, in order to be able to participate in this wedding, there are really some people who have moved a lot of thoughts, Heshan is a big tea-producing county, in recent years, the world has been peaceful, after the end of the Tuke fight, there are a number of wealthy tea merchants, some nouveau riche, do things boldly, and really think of a way, in order to be able to participate in the chaos, do not hesitate to give gifts to officials at all levels, but first, the wind is too tight, officials dare not accept it, and second, officials at all levels still want to come.

If Zhu Jinglun knew that a ticket for his wedding could make some businessmen willing to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver, he would be happy to collect this ticket money and use it to help the poor.

Looking at the people who looked like officials, clumsily showing off in front of him, Zhu Jinglun didn't poke it, as if he didn't know them, the county order had already moved a chair in front of him three times, and Zhu Jinglun urged Long Yuanxi.

Long Yuanxi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, designed a lot of rituals, and if he didn't cross a mountain or a bridge on the road, he had to stop and give a notice to the mountain gods, the land and other large and small gods, burn some paper money, put a few incense candles, and burn a sacrificial text at the same time, telling them that this was the emperor's procession to greet his relatives, so that the gods could take care of it.

But when I arrived at the Gao family, I had to do a ritual without passing through a door, which was indeed too time-consuming.

But these Long Yuanxi they had already calculated, and the time was very accurate, because they had already practiced countless times, and they knew how much time each link would take, and they also knew that they couldn't go back today, and when they found that one day was not enough anyway, they immediately decided to leave early the next morning.

Therefore, there is actually a lot of time today, although the sun has set in the west, Long Yuanxi is not in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, the gift cannot be abolished."

Although it is a newly formulated ritual for them, Long Yuanxi believes that this is still a ritual, and every step is in line with etiquette.

Zhu Jinglun waved his hand: "Then it's up to you." ”

He said this, but his heart was not happy.

The most unpleasant thing was that when he arrived at the bride's house, he couldn't even see the bride.

Long Yuanxi said that he couldn't see the bride today, and he couldn't see his bride until he arrived in Guangzhou and returned to the palace.

Although Zhu Jinglun is not in a hurry to marry a wife, he understands that this is a political marriage, but he is really unhappy because he is restricted too much.

What's even more unpleasant is that after that, Long Yuanxi also arranged for the local officials to see the ceremony, and the county order that had shuttled in front of him several times was already very far behind, and there were people in front of him, not to mention the local provincial officials, Zhang Baoming and other Hakka officials were even more in front.

These Hakka officials, they participated in the name of relatives, Zhang Baoming as early as five years ago after promoting the Gao family's family business, he accepted Gao Yuan as an adopted daughter, he and Gao Guanxian were friends back then, and the adoption of Gao Yuan was also justified.

But what makes Zhu Jinglun unhappy is that he has never seen any of the real Gao family, where can he come to pick up relatives, but he can't see the truth of a mother's family? (To be continued.) )
