Chapter 23: Internal and External Lifelong Affairs (II)

Finally, it was the sixth day of the fourth month.

Early in the morning, it was still dark, and the courtyard rented by Han Gang by the Bianhe River was already brightly lit and full of people.

This courtyard has two entrances in front and back, and more than a dozen rooms. It's not huge, but the terrain is outstanding. Leaning on the Bianhe River, you can call a boat in the river when you go out of the back door. The rent is eight times a month, and the salary of the captain from the ninth grade is only half of this rent. If Han Gang hadn't had an extra Jixian school manager and an extra salary, half of Dr. Taichang's money would have been eaten. And because it is official property, not only can it not be taken down, but even with Han Gang's identity, the rent cannot be discounted at all.

With a unique courtyard, the two companions that Han Gang brought to Beijing were not enough. Fortunately, the two maidservants sent by Wang Shao, Han Gang found someone to hire a cook, and the situation at home was almost the same. Two days ago, Wang Shao borrowed more than 20 family members in one go to prop up the façade of the Han family.

At this time, there was a colorful shed outside the door of the Han Mansion, and it slipped out more than a dozen feet, although it hindered the travel of several families. But as soon as he came, Han Gang had a high status and fame, and he sent someone to hand over the post in advance, and the surrounding neighbors would not be unkind. Second, Han Gang wants to marry the daughter of Wang Anshi's family, and the famous Wang Vice Shu comes to the Han family to sit in town, who dares to find it unhappy?

In order to prepare for this marriage, Han Gang found a master of ceremonies who specially presided over the wedding of the eunuch's family, which was called 'Bai Xi'. brought a group of subordinates over, all of whom had been doing things for more than ten years or decades, and arranged the marriage in an orderly manner.

He also booked a banquet from the nearby Zhengdian Tangjialou, and when the wedding banquet began, he came to entertain the guests. In Hanoka's view, the service industry in Tokyo is no less developed than it was a millennium later. All affairs are taken care of by professionals, and there is no need to be busy by yourself.

Now Han Gang is wearing a Xuanqi court uniform, a black deep coat, a red yellow bottom, a three-beam Jinxian crown on his head, stepping on soap-colored thick-soled official boots, and a rhino belt tied around his waist. From both sides of the Jinxian crown, there are pearls and jades hanging down to the ears, also known as 'filling the ears', and gently swaying as Han Gang moves—this is the costume of a scholar with an official body when he marries.

Feng Congyi, as an overseer, inspected the situation inside and outside the Han Mansion. He rushed to Jingshi before Han Gang's wedding, which was Han Ah Li's order. If your son wants to get married, he can't have no relatives around him. Moreover, Feng Congyi also took this opportunity to open up trade routes in the capital for Xihe's specialties, and went to visit his father-in-law's family, the Han family is related to the Queen Mother's family, and only a few people know about this matter.

Since a few days ago, there has been an endless stream of door-to-door gifts. Today, after being invited, relatives and friends who came to the wedding banquet came one after another.

Basically, they are mainly Jinshi in the same year, which is the basic human relationship, and the same year is a close relationship in the officialdom.

Around April, it is the peak period for the marriage of today's Kejinshi. As long as you are unmarried and have not been married, you basically enter the cave room at this time. And those who have already made a marriage are also in a hurry to return to their hometowns to finish their work. Han Gang was also invited to attend the wedding of two other new science and technology scholars a few days ago, and today it was his turn.

And Han Gang is good friends with high-ranking officials. Of course, it is impossible for Wang Shao's father and son not to be there, they have their own functions today, and they cannot be regarded as guests.

Lu Huiqing and other members of the New Party were waiting at the woman's house. In addition, Zhang Dian has now gone to Jinghu and is not in Beijing, but his father Zhang Yu is there and came over with Lu Ming. The old man's demeanor is still so outstanding, and he congratulates Han Gang with a smile.

However, he didn't arrive, he was the captain of the Sanya Army, and the commander of the four compartments of the Dragon Shenwei. Although he has a good relationship with Han Gang, it is inconvenient to attend the wedding of the prime minister's daughter. The collusion of civil and military high-ranking officials is the most taboo for the Son of Heaven. And there is no problem in the cultivation of the building, there is a layer of relationship with Zhang Zai, and no one can pick a bone from the egg, so he came early and took the seed master with him. As for Chongpu, he did not show up - he was sent to Wonju in February, and was called by his uncle, Chong Yu.

As soon as Chong Jianzhong arrived, he arched his hand continuously: "Congratulations to Yukun, congratulations to Yukun." The title of the gold list, the candles in the cave room, are all now. ”

The seed master also came up to salute: "Congratulations to Third Brother Han." ”

"Uncle Yi, don't laugh at your little brother." Han Gang laughed a few words with Chong Jianzhong, who came to He, pulled him and asked, "Can the Inquisitor East Court decide where to go?" ”

The nineteenth brother of the seed family has already passed the examination of the Ming Law Department and has a background. Relying on this background, Chong Jianzhong changed from military capital to civilian capital. His old official rank belonged to the level of ambassador and minister, and after he was transferred to a civil servant, he became a Beijing official from the eighth grade. Once released, the position will not be very low.

Chong Jianzhong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's not settled yet." Most of them are still in Shaanxi, either under the county magistrate, or in the economic strategy division. I can't get out of it. ”

"Jiangmen family...... Han Gang patted Chong Jianzhong's shoulder comfortingly: "Most of the Taiwei also hopes that you can make more contributions in Shaanxi." ”

Chong Jianzhong also sighed helplessly. The career of the children of the family is congenitally smoother than that of people in the poor family, but they can't control their own future.

——Now the third generation of the seed family is headed by the seed man, and the following seed and friendship are all first-class generals, and the rest of the brothers are all in command of the army. Now is the time to prosper. But in the fourth generation, there is a bit of a future, that is, Chong Pu and Chong Jianzhong. Like the seed master, he is still young, and he can't see how good he is.

Don't look at the nineteenth seed now turned into a civil official, but if the successor of the seed family is weak in the future, the fourth generation will be unable to support it alone by relying on the seed Pu, maybe there will be a day when the seed is built and the pen is from Rong. Compared with the lack of foundation and insecurity of civil official inheritance, maintaining the tradition of military generals is the only way to maintain the wealth of the family from generation to generation.

"Don't talk about that." Chong Jianzhong suddenly smiled, "Today is Yukun's big day, how can you talk about these things together." ”

He arched his hand and went to say hello to other friends he knew.

Han Gang is the groom, even if it is to welcome guests, he only needs to meet a few important guests, and as for idle guests, Wang Hou and Murong Wu, who are the guests, are in charge.

The guests gradually arrived, and saw that the sun was already slanting in the west, and the time to greet them was approaching. Wang Hou came over and urged, "Yukun, it's almost time." ”

Han Gang nodded, the so-called wedding should be held at dusk, and now that the sun has set in the west, it is time to welcome relatives.

Although he was wearing a dress with wide robes and big sleeves, Han Gang still stepped on the horse very neatly, with a preach, as well as a group of relatives and friends accompanying him, and went to Wang Anshi's mansion to greet his relatives.

……………………

Wang Yi sat in front of the dresser, facing the polished bronze mirror, inside which was a pretty face like a flower and jade, and behind him was his mother.

Today, Wang Yi has been carefully dressed, it turned out to be the beauty of a daughter of a water town, and now she looks even more decent. But her trimmed eyebrows frowned slightly, and she was still worried about the marriage that had come to her eyes.

Originally, there were not many twists and turns in this marriage, but some time ago, because of the matter of the Jingyi Bureau, Han Gang had an argument with his father and brother, and Wang Yi was so worried that it was difficult to sleep at night. I am afraid that this marriage will fall to the point where she was worried at the beginning.

It's just that after the incident, the eldest brother and the second brother went out to see Han Gang and came back, and when they talked about Han Yukun, they were still in a harmonious mood. Wang Yi remembered that Han Gang had personally promised himself that he would not spoil his personal friendship because of disputes in official affairs. For now, at least, he has kept his word.

But what about in the future...... Wang Yi didn't dare to think about it, but he couldn't help but think about it.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Wang Anguo's wife hurriedly walked in.

"Mother......" Wang Yi turned around, tears involuntarily slid down her cheeks, and grabbed her mother's clothes, "Don't get married!" ”

The Wu family has always hoped that her daughter will marry as soon as possible, but now looking at her second daughter, she can't help but have tears in her eyes. Holding her daughter's face and wiping her tears with a hand towel: "Idiot, how can you say that." After today, it will be the Han family. When you arrive at your husband's house, you should be good at living and obeying women's morals and serve your aunt carefully......"

Wu babbled and instructed his daughter again. Amid the sound of drums, Han Gang rode a tall horse and approached. has been in the army for a long time, and the momentum of riding on a horse is not idle. The back is straight, and the solemn dress makes people pay three respects when they look at it.

Wang Anshi, as the woman's parent, greeted her in front of the gate. is also like Han Gang, wearing the most solemn court clothes, black on the top and yellow on the bottom, and accompanying the Son of Heaven to worship the sky, there is also a big ceremony such as the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting

If it is according to today's customs. The bridegroom came to greet the bride, and the Yue's family had to use two chairs to lean on them, put a saddle on them, and let the son-in-law ride on them and drink wine or make poems before giving them down. However, this kind of vulgar etiquette will not appear when Wang Anshi marries his daughter.

According to the etiquette of the officials, Han Gang and Wang Anshi, one to the east and the other to the west, bowed to each other. Wang Anshi was about to lead Han Gang in, when Li Shunju arrived at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion with the edict of the Son of Heaven and a group of small yellow doors holding gifts.

Han Gang and Wang Anshi glanced at each other, both of them were extremely surprised, and there was a low noise among the surrounding guests.

The Son of Heaven directly gives gifts to the newlyweds, but there are very few cases. In addition to marrying relatives in the clan, officials with enough status are basically continuations, which makes it inconvenient for the Son of Heaven to give things for this. Just like Fan Zhongyan, he set up Yizhuang for the clansmen, the widow remarried, and the Yizhuang contributed money to subsidize it, while the widower remarried, and there was nothing. Han Gang's official position was a little reluctant, but Zhao Ji still issued an edict, on the one hand, to give face to the prime minister, and on the other hand, it was also because Han Gang was getting the holy favor.

The edict of the Son of Heaven is to talk about the heart. The words on the edict are very good, but the overall meaning is to wish the two newcomers a hundred years of happiness and grow old together.

After Li Shunju finished reading the edict, Han Gang stepped forward to thank him alone.

One phase, one ginseng, running for Han Gang's marriage. Coupled with the participation of the Son of Heaven, there has never been such glory among the new science and technology scholars.

[Something happened during the day, I hope you will forgive me. In addition, thank you Sanshui for your correction.
