256 Trivia before marriage (I)
Besides, there will be a long time in the future, so don't be in a hurry at this time. So, after settling down with little Lori, he went back to the dormitory. At this time, he didn't know that a miserable life was coming, so he was still quite excited. After all, in his opinion, in a few days, he will be able to enter the cave room and throw away the shameful hat of the two-life virgin.
The cave room spends candle night, as long as it is a man, who doesn't look forward to this day. Especially Liu Hong, who has waited for a lifetime longer than others, is even more looking forward to this story. Therefore, he wondered if he wanted to bring forth the new and have a different wedding night to make this special day more meaningful?!
As soon as the idea came out, it was out of control. Liu Hong couldn't help but think about what kind of project he wanted to do in his cave room to help the fun. And at this time, the Empress Dowager Dong came over in a hurry. That momentum, but it was quite urgent, and before he entered the door, he began to shout, "Hong'er, Hong'er!" It's time to come out and measure your clothes. ”
Although he was very unhappy to be disturbed, the Queen Mother summoned him, and he dared not do it as a son, so Liu Hong hurriedly greeted him.
But when he arrived at the hospital, Liu Hong was really a little dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that the Queen Mother would bring a large group of people.
"Queen Mother, what are you doing with such a huge group of people?"
"What? You're a child, of course, this is the dress you wore for your wedding! Empress Dowager Dong pulled Liu Honglai and began to say, "Hong'er, you are the emperor." You're getting married, that's such an important thing. So, of course, we have to use the best of the best. ”
"Queen Mother, even if you use the best, you don't need to bring so many people, right?"
"So much? That's not much. Empress Dowager Dong pointed at this group of people and said: "These people are only the best tailors in the capital. In a few days, when the tailors from other places come, they will have to measure again. The queen mother plans to let them make a set by themselves, and when they are all made, we will choose the best of the best and choose the best one to be used as your wedding dress. ”
"Ah, one more time." Liu Hong wiped a cold sweat and asked weakly, "Queen Mother, don't be so troublesome, right?" ”
"Why not!" Saying that, Empress Dowager Dong said while directing those tailors: "The big wedding is a major event only once in a lifetime, and it must be grand." If you don't understand such a thing, just listen to the mourners. ”
"But the queen mother, even if you want to make a dress, you just need to find someone to measure it once. Everyone else does it to this size, so you don't have to measure it for everyone, right? ”
"Of course, everyone has to measure it." Empress Dowager Dong said with an insider's look: "Every tailor's habit of measuring his body is different, and only when they measure it themselves can they make the most suitable clothes." ”
At this time, Liu Hong had no choice but to let the Empress Dowager Dong command those tailors to ravage.
I thought it would be just a matter of making a few clothes. But after measuring the clothes, Empress Dowager Dong did not go back with those tailors. Instead, he asked Liu Hong, "Hong'er, have you chosen this Ding Shangzhuan to be the queen?" ”
"yes." Liu Hong asked curiously: "Why, the queen mother has different opinions?" ”
"Not really." Empress Dowager Dong said: "Although this Ding Shangzhuan is just the daughter of an ordinary family. But there is nothing to pick about in terms of appearance and surname, and it is okay to be a queen. ”
"What do you mean, the queen mother?" Liu Hong was curious now.
"What do you mean?!" Empress Dowager Dong smiled and said, "You stupid boy! Even ordinary people marry daughters-in-law with three media and six rites, not to mention our royal family. If you can't choose the queen, it's okay, since you have decided, you want the daughter of the Ding family to be the queen, these six ceremonies or something, the queen mother will help you prepare now. ”
"Ah, you still have to prepare six salutes?!"
"Of course." Looking at Liu Hong's surprised look, Empress Dowager Dong said: "The first item of the six rites is to accept the lottery, how much dowry do we have to pay, does Your Majesty have any plans?" ”
Liu Hong didn't even know that the emperor's wedding required six ceremonies, how could he have plans for the dowry. Therefore, he looked at the Empress Dowager Dong and said very embarrassedly: "Queen Mother, I have no experience in these things, so it's up to you to decide." ”
"When Emperor Huan got married, the dowry was 20,000 catties of gold, and the horses and silks were the same as the old classics. Your Majesty's merits far surpass Emperor Huan, this dowry can't be less than Emperor Huan! Hearing that Liu Hong asked her to call the shots, Empress Dowager Dong was not polite at all, "Hong'er, why don't we give a dowry of 30,000 gold coins, and the rest will be according to the old classics, right?" ”
"Ah, it's 30,000 gold coins." Regarding Empress Dowager Dong's statement, Liu Hong was quite surprised, and couldn't help but slander in his heart, "Where is this to marry a daughter-in-law, isn't this buying a daughter-in-law!" ”
"That's not much." Empress Dowager Dong didn't know what Liu Hong was thinking, and said proudly: "My son, what's the matter, you have to be stronger than Emperor Huan." Lian Huan** paid 20,000 gold, can we pay 30,000 gold coins? ! ”
"Not much, not much, just do what the queen mother said." Liu Hong hurriedly agreed, after all, 30,000 gold coins is really not a big amount for Liu Hong. Therefore, there is no need for him to upset the Queen Mother for this matter.
I thought that if I agreed to the dowry, I would be fine. But unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Dong spoke again, "Hong'er, you got married this time, and the mourning family wants to help you do it." But you also know that not everyone can enter our palace. Therefore, the mourning family wanted to build a garden to entertain those who were not enough to enter the palace. I don't know Hong'er, what do you think? ”
"Ah, still building a garden?!"
Hearing what Empress Dowager Dong said, Liu Hong was really taken aback. You must know that in the past two years, the Empress Dowager Dong has competed to build a garden. This east and west are about to catch up with Cixi's old ladies. Unexpectedly, after building so much, she was still not addicted, and she still wanted to use his wedding to continue to build.
"Mother, it takes time to build this garden. My big wedding is just around the corner, so it's too late, right? ”
"Just in time." Empress Dowager Dong said: "The mourning family has already asked someone, so let's get it roughly first, so that the guests have a place to stay, it won't take much time." The rest of the construction can be put on after your wedding. ”
"After the wedding, it's beginning, is it still for my wedding?" However, Liu Hong didn't dare to say this question, "Since this is the case, it is all up to the queen mother." ”
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Empress Dowager Dong left happily. And Liu Hongman thought that this was the end of the matter. Unexpectedly, the real busyness has just begun.
Liu Hong has done too many things to win the hearts of the people in the past few years. For example, after the news of his wedding spread among the people, many people spontaneously began to express their hearts to him.
And as more and more people came to express themselves, those officials couldn't sit still. After all, the people have come to express it, and those of them who are directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, if they don't express their words and are picked by the emperor, they won't be able to eat and leave. So, they also joined the ranks of representation.
In this way, it can be regarded as keeping Liu Hong busy, and he is dealing with these things all day long. After all, even those people who came spontaneously, he could leave it to someone else. But he can't but accept these officials. And if he receives this, he has to receive that, otherwise it will not be good to make some misunderstandings. Therefore, during this time, he spent it in the ushering send-off.
"Made, it's not easy to get married. Don't say anything else, this ushering in and sending is not something that ordinary people can bear. Liu Hong is sighing here, and the gift-giver over there is here again. Looking at Tian Feng, who was running to deliver the letter, Liu Hong couldn't help but say: "You can just call the shots of the things sent by the people, and you don't need to let me make up my mind." ”
Seeing Liu Hong's attitude, Tian Feng said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't want to trouble you, but this gift must be handled by you." ”
"Ah, what kind of gift is it, and I have to deal with it?" Now, Liu Hong is really curious.
"Your Majesty, it's a ding." A common man dug out a big tripod from the ground, and he didn't dare to keep it himself, and when he heard that you were going to get married, he sent it to you.
"Don't dare to stay? I'm not here in the new society where people take pleasure in robbing the people's valuables, so what dare I not leave behind! Liu Hong said to Tian Feng: "Our Han has long stipulated that what is found in someone's field will belong to whom." Items that are unowned in an ownerless field belong to the one who found them. You go and tell him that he can keep it with peace of mind, and no one will forcibly take his things. ”
"Your Majesty, what this people dug up is a tripod, and it is not an ordinary tripod. According to the identification, this tripod should be one of the nine tripods cast by Dayu. This thing has an important meaning to the Son of Heaven, and ordinary people dare not keep it. ”
"Well, that's exactly what happened." Liu Hong also knows that in ancient times, Jiuding meant the Son of Heaven, and it was really difficult for ordinary people to keep this kind of taboo thing. Therefore, he beckoned to Tian Feng and said, "If that's the case, then let's go over and have a look." ”
When Liu Hong passed, Jia Xu was specially accompanying the people who came to send the tripod. But even so, the people were trembling. Now that Liu Hong is here, the people are on their knees, and their nervous words can't be spoken.
Ordinary people, it is inevitable to be nervous when you see him. Liu Hongzhi didn't think it was annoying, and while asking people to help him up, he said: "Fellow, don't be nervous, if you have something to say, speak slowly." ”
"Yes, yes." Seeing Liu Hong so kind, the man calmed down a little and said, "Your Majesty, Xiaomin dug this tripod in the ground of his home. Some people say that this is one of the nine tripods cast by Dayu, symbolizing the Son of Heaven. Therefore, the small people did not dare to hide it privately, so they immediately brought someone to transport it to the capital. And when I arrived in the capital, I heard that His Majesty was going to get married, and it seemed that this should be regarded as the will of heaven, and I wanted to use this tripod to celebrate His Majesty. ”
Hearing the people say this, Liu Hong knew that he would accept this tripod no matter what. But it's easy to accept the tripod, but what reward should you give to the person who gave the tripod? Now, Liu Hong is a little difficult. (To be continued.) )
