Chapter 232: Embarrassment Before Marriage
After the Lantern Festival, Shuying stayed in Tianfu and did not come back, the reason was not anything else but the wedding date of Liu Fan and Shuying was coming soon. According to the custom www.biquge.info, the couple cannot meet for a few days before the wedding, and only after the wedding is over, the two can meet again. Liu Fan also knew about this matter, and the situation of the wedding in later generations also had a similar statement, so Liu Fan had to endure the pain of parting for the time being and not meet Shuying.
According to the date agreed by Tian Chou and Chongzhen, the wedding of Liu Fan and Shuying will be held on the twentieth day of the first month. In other words, it is only four or five days before Liu Fan's wedding date. Although the wedding is handled by Tian Chou, such as decorating the mansion and new house, as well as inviting teachers Xu Guangqi and Wen Tiren and other bigwigs in the DPRK and China, Liu Fan must still come forward in person! For several days, Liu Fan was busy, and his feet did not touch the ground.
Liu Fan is also quite worried about the invitation of the guests, now Liu Fan's identity is different from the past, he has just come to the capital and is unknown, and there are few people in the capital who know Liu Fan, but since Liu Fan stepped down from power after the Zhengdan Dynasty meeting, his reputation has become famous, and no one knows Liu Fan's name from the top and bottom of the Beijing Division. The number of guests who came to see them also increased. These people who tend to be inflammatory, their hearts are very small, and if they are not invited to the wedding, it is inevitable that some people will hold a grudge because of this. Although Liu Fan is not afraid of them, he doesn't want to make enemies of the world because of these little things!
However, Liu Fan has had little contact with people since he came to the capital, and he does not know much about the officials in the capital. It's not even clear which way the doors of some yamen open. In desperation, Liu Fan had no choice but to go to Luo Yangxing's house for help. When Liu Fan wants to come to Luo Yangxing as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, can these things still be unclear?
Luo Yangxing's mansion is also in the inner city of the imperial city, which is not too far from Liu Fan's home. So it didn't take much time for Liu Fan to come to Luo Yangxing's house. Seeing Liu Fan coming to visit, Luo Yangxing was greatly surprised and said, "Jimin!?" Aren't you getting married? How do you have time to come to my door? Are you done? ”
Liu Fan's face fell, and he sighed, "Don't mention it!" I'm worried about that! Then Liu Fan told Luo Yangxing about the general situation, and at the end, Liu Fan asked with a little expectation, "Brother Luo!" Can you help with this? ”
Luo Yangxing laughed: "This matter is easy to hear!" Isn't it just a list of officials? In a while, I will send someone to fetch you the list of officials above the fifth grade in Beijing! When the time comes, you just need to send someone to send an invitation card one by one! ”
Liu Fan was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked, "Brother Luo has done me a great favor!" ”
Luo Yangxing waved his hand and smiled: "It's just a little thing!" Jimin doesn't have to be polite! Do you still need to say thank you for your friendship? ”
Seeing Liu Fan's happy appearance, Luo Yangxing suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help asking, "By the way, Jimin, have you been there with Your Majesty and the concubine?" ”
Liu Fan was stunned and blurted out, "Not yet!" What's wrong? ”
Luo Yangxing's face changed greatly, and he said urgently, "Confused! Jimin, you are confused! Not to mention that this wedding was presided over by His Majesty, even because your wife is Tian Guifei's sister, you should also go to the palace to ask for instructions! When has it been, you haven't been there yet! ”
Liu Fan was also shocked in his heart, how could he forget such an important matter, and in a panic, he couldn't help but ask Luo Yangxing, "Oops! I've been so busy lately that I've forgotten about it! Brother Luo, what should I do now! ”
Luo Yangxing asked rhetorically, "What should I do?" Needless to say? Don't do anything now, don't care about anything, go to the palace to see Your Majesty immediately! ”
"Is it too late?"
Luo Yangxing couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "I don't know!" But it's better than you delay here! What are you waiting for? Liu Fan confessed and fled.
By the time Liu Fan arrived at the palace, it was already evening, and in the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen was a little surprised when he saw Liu Fan's anxious face, and said, "Jimin!" What happened to you? Why is it so alarmed! ”
Liu Fan said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, you have to save me!" ”
Chongzhen was even more curious, put down the red pen in his hand, and said, "What's the matter!" You say come and listen, if I can help, I will definitely settle it for you! Go ahead! This time you're going to have that minister again!? ”
Liu Fan shook his head and said, "It's not the minister's business, since the last incident, the minister has been very low-key!" This time it's Tian Guifei! Isn't the minister busy with the wedding these days, and he forgot to visit Tian Guifei for a while! She must be angry in her heart! So the minister wants to ask His Majesty to help intercede! Do you think it's okay? ”
Chongzhen was a little crying and laughing when he heard this, pointed at Liu Fan and scolded with a smile: "You, you!" Helping the people! What do you want me to say about you? Marching and fighting, giving advice, I have never seen you so panicked, why are you so so angry when it comes to family affairs... Forehead! It's not in tune! Rest assured! You don't have to come forward, someone has already interceded for you! ”
Liu Fan was surprised: "Someone interceded for the minister?" Who is it? ”
Chongzhen saw that Liu Fan was so slow to react, and looked at Liu Fan speechlessly, and said, "Who else!" There could be anyone else besides Shuying! Shuying entered the palace two days ago, and she has been living in Xiuying Palace for the past few days, so I don't even have a chance to meet Xiuying! With Shuying here, what are you afraid of! ”
Liu Fan was overjoyed: "That's good!" That's good! I'm relieved to have Ying'er here! Your Majesty! Do you think you can take some time to let the minister meet the concubine? ”
Chongzhen shook his head and said, "No need! Xiuying and Shuying are together now, and it's rare for them sisters to see each other, so I can't even bother them! And you don't know that you and Sookyoung can't see each other before the wedding? I'll relay this to you! ”
"Oh! Thank you, Your Majesty! Liu Fan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Hmmm! How are you preparing for the wedding? I'm going to be there in person! Don't mess things up then, we're both going to be disgraced! ”
Liu Fan patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured!" Can this little thing be done by the minister? ”
Chongzhen glared at Liu Fan angrily and said, "Based on your performance, do you think I can rest assured?" ”
Liu Fan smiled, "The main thing is handled by Uncle Tian, and the minister is just acting according to his orders!" Your Majesty should rest assured now! ”
Chongzhen nodded and said, "Hmm! That's pretty much it! Then he waved his hand to Liu Fan and said, "Okay, if it's okay, you can go!" I have a headache when I see you now! I really miss the Jimin in the past, and I can always bring good news to me! It's like it's no good to see you now! ”
Liu Fan felt aggrieved in his heart, and immediately retorted, "Your Majesty! Look at what you said, this is too unrighteous! When the minister first came to the capital, he brought good news, and now that the good news is finished, of course, there is only bad news left! And some things don't blame me either! I'm low-key enough, but what can I do if disaster strikes from the sky! ”
"Sophistry! Ok ok! I'm too lazy to listen to your bad things! In the future, you can make less trouble for me! (To be continued.) )
