Chapter 235 Gao Shun's Family Banquet
Since he didn't know what His Majesty meant, he would be safe when he came, and Gao Shun was relieved to live in the mansion.
In the afternoon, the old lady arrived in the capital Luoyang and stayed in the emperor's newly given mansion. Xiao Huangmen and others returned to the palace to make a difference. The 300 cavalry who came to escort them were placed in the manor outside Luoyang City to rest.
Not long after, there was a small yellow door to deliver the decree, and His Majesty rewarded the mother of Gao Shun with a large number of Shu brocade gold, silver and jade and other objects, as well as twelve sets of gorgeous clothes for each season.
The two eldest princesses had already learned that the emperor wanted to marry the princess of Wannian and the champion Hou, and the queen even gave a special explanation, asking them to befriend Gao Shun, so they came to congratulate Gao Shun on his housewarming with Zhou Fei and Fang Liang, and visited Gao's mother.
Gao Shun, his mother, Li Qiang and others all saluted the two eldest princesses, but fortunately, there was no need to bow down at that time, otherwise Gao Shun would rather not see them.
The two eldest princesses are also very knowledgeable, and after a simple etiquette, they get up casually, not at all restrained, talk and laugh with everyone, and have a very enthusiastic attitude, Gao Shun is very satisfied with this.
Gao Shun's mother had seen Zhou Fei, Fang Liang and others, and treated these people as children.
The old lady was in a very good mood and said with a smile: "You are all married, your wife is a top beauty, and the old lady is happy for you; Now, Meng Zhen's family is pregnant, you are all young, you have to hurry up. ”
The two eldest princesses turned red.
Gao Shun's mother has seen the world in the past two years, and she is not stage frightened at all.
Li Qiang stepped forward and asked, "Old lady, is my family Ning'er?" ”
"Haha, don't worry, there are so many people in the whole castle, can you still take care of it? I went to see it before I came, and Ge took care of it very carefully, so you just wait to hold your son. ”
"Haha, okay, thank you, old lady."
Today is to congratulate the housewarming, plus to pick up the old lady and wash the dust, and they are all regarded as a family, so they did not implement the meal distribution system, but sat on a big table to eat.
The two eldest princesses felt very new to this.
The chef transferred from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and the ingredients transported from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion made a very hearty meal, and the taste was even more delicious, and the two eldest princesses who ate it were full of praise.
Liu Jian said: "Junhou, the chef you sent to our family, how can you not make it so delicious." ”
Gao Shun explained: "Your family doesn't have all the ingredients, and some of the ingredients are only available in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. ”
Liu Xiu said: "Junhou, even if the ingredients are not complete, the taste is already much more delicious than the food we ate before, but compared with here, there is still a little gap. ”
"In the future, let your family's chef go to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion to get the ingredients, and the food will definitely be similar to here."
"Thank you, Prince!"
Liu Xiu persuaded: "Old lady, you eat more, this fish is so delicious." ”
The old lady said: "Haha, the eldest princess likes it, eat more if she likes, if it's not enough, let the kitchen do it again." ”
During the meal, Gao Shun took out two sealed boxes, locked them with locks, handed them to the two eldest princesses respectively, and said, "This is my wedding gift to you, the contents are extremely precious, and they must not be opened easily." ”
Liu Jian asked, "Junhou, when will it be opened?" ”
"When you have no relationship with the two emperors, you can open it, otherwise you can only treasure it, and you must not lose it; The box does not have a key, so the box can only be broken to remove the contents. ”
"Yes, Prince, we will treasure it." They were very puzzled, but they still followed Gao Shun's instructions and treasured them after they went back, because when they looked at the exquisite box, they could feel that the objects in the box were treasures.
Liu Xiu asked again: "Junhou, your literary collection is famous all over the world, but you didn't write us a poem, it's really unfair." ”
"What do you want poetry?"
"We also like the poetry of the prince!"
Gao Shun thought to himself, the poems he wrote, but the crystallization of the wisdom of many literati who have been praised through the ages, the poems in his memory are limited, and if he writes one poem, there will always be a day when he runs out, so he excused himself and said: "Haha, the poems are small Daoer, not enough to worry about, come, Shun respects the eldest princess for a cup." ”
Gao Shun was overwhelmed with alcohol, and drank fruit juice with his mother, the eldest princess and several others, and added the white sugar he refined, which tasted even more delicious.
Liu Jian interjected: "Junhou, you can write one!" ”
Gao Shun saw that he couldn't refuse, so he said: "Okay, but this is only this time, and it is considered to be given to the two eldest princesses." ”
"Thank you, Marquis!"
Gao Shun thought about it carefully and said: "The two eldest princesses are newly married Yan'er, so I will write a poem for you with the theme of the folk newlywed girl, the title is "The Girl's Intention""
"Okay, please come quickly."
Gao Shun chanted in a low voice: "The red candle was stopped in the cave room last night, and I will pay my aunt in front of Xiaotang." Makeup asked the husband in a low voice, is there a thrush depth? ”
Liu Jian chanted several times in a row, feeling that the more she recited, the more she had an endless aftertaste, and the description was too expressive, and she was busy marrying pen and ink and brocade silk, she had to record it carefully, for fear of forgetting.
Liu Xiu praised: "The talent of the prince is really worthy of his reputation, and I believe it today!" ”
"Haha, the eldest princess likes it!"
The two eldest princesses put down the princess's shelf, deliberately curryed favor with Gao's mother, and frequently raised glasses with Gao Shun and others, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The family banquet was very successful, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After the meal, the two eldest princesses accompanied the old lady for a walk in the garden of the mansion, and Gao Shun had time to consult Zhou Fei and Fang Liang about His Majesty's intention to pick up his mother.
Zhou Fei explained: "Looking at the performance of the eldest princess, I must have received a hint from His Majesty, or I have already known the details, but I don't know the specific content. ”
Fang Liang said: "Haha, don't worry, the lord doesn't need to worry, it must be a good thing, and I will know the reason soon." ”
Gao Shun said embarrassedly: "Su Shuang guesses that Your Majesty has the possibility of marriage, first of all, the princess of Wannian, and secondly, the daughter of the clan of the same age, do you think it is possible?" ”
Zhou Fei said: "My lord, Your Majesty has the intention of winning over the lord, otherwise he would not have given us a marriage, now it seems that Su Shuang's guess is not unreasonable; However, the lord should get married and start a family as soon as possible, and give birth to a young master early, which can calm the hearts of everyone. ”
Fang Liang said: "Looking at the attitude of the two eldest princesses tonight, it is very likely that the marriage will be given, and the lord should take care of it as soon as possible." ”
Gao Shun explained: "My mother has already set me a marriage, it is Xu Lin's sister, you have all seen it, I originally planned to get married next spring, but now if His Majesty gives me a marriage, what should I do?" ”
Everyone is silent, if His Majesty gives marriage, then the previous marriage is withdrawn, it will offend Xu Lin and Xu Fu, how to convince his subordinates in the future?
Fang Liang said: "Lord, if you marry a princess, just asking for a salute every day will seriously jeopardize the prestige of the lord, I object!" ”
Li Qiang said: "If this is the case, it is difficult for Your Majesty to explain!" ”
Zhou Fei said: "It can only depend on the old lady's attitude, it's best to resign." ”
Everyone couldn't, so Gao Shun could only wait for everyone to leave in the evening before communicating with his mother.
The two eldest princesses did not regard themselves as outsiders, and after returning from a walk with Gao's mother, they asked Gao Shun for ten bedding and ten cotton cloths of various colors before returning to their mansion satisfied.
After everyone left, Gao Shun expressed his inner worries.
Gao's mother pondered for a moment and asked, "What is my son's opinion?" ”
Gao Shun said: "Mother, we are afraid that we will not serve the royal woman well, and what should Xu Ting do?" ”
The mother didn't have a superficial attitude, but said: "My son doesn't need to worry, he has his own plans for his mother." ”
In this era, they also pay attention to the words of the parents and the matchmaker, and individuals have no way to decide about marriage; Seeing his mother say this, Gao Shun could only wait.
