Chapter 447: The Son of Heaven Gives Marriage

In the first year of Taixing, in October, Zongzheng Cao Tong arrived in Jicheng with the will of the Son of Heaven to marry.

It is strange to say that Cao Tong was born in the Cao family of the state of Qian, and he is a son of the orthodox Cao Wei clan. And Sima Rui actually asked the Cao Wei clan to be the head of the Jin Dynasty, which is somewhat incredible.

Moreover, Cao Tong was the marriage partner of Princess Qinghe in history, but now he has become the messenger of the decree.

I saw Cao Tongyi's holy decree and said loudly: "The edict of the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty said: I heard that Princess Qinghe, the daughter of Emperor Hui, is skillful and generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding appearance, and I am very happy to hear it." ”

"Today, she was named the eldest princess of Linhai and married to Sima Shuo. Wang'er and the two agreed with one heart to marry Qin and Jin forever, and the husband and wife were harmonious, so as to live up to their wishes. The proclamation is at home and abroad, and the salty envoy hears it. Chin this! ”

"Your Majesty, Minister, Wei Shuo!"

"Da Sima, congratulations! Congratulations! ”

"Thank you, thank you, Master Zongzheng has worked hard!"

"Da Sima, before coming, His Majesty repeatedly told him that if Da Sima has time, he might as well go to Jianye in person."

"Hahaha, Lord Zongzheng, please tell Your Majesty when you go back, I won't go to Jianye, and I will go back to Jianye with the princess to thank Your Majesty when I have the opportunity in the future."

Seeing that Wei Shuo refused to return to Jianye so neatly, the smile on Cao Tong's face did not decrease in the slightest, and he still greeted the top level of Liaodong with a smile, and then he went to the princess's mansion to announce the decree.

Today's princess's mansion is particularly lively, and the streets are crowded with people watching the excitement. The surrounding neighbors were very curious about the princess's mansion that suddenly appeared, and everyone never thought that the Ma Mansion (Sima Yan's pseudonym Ma Yan), who had lived next to each other for several years, was actually the residence of the princess of the dynasty.

Listening to the noise outside, Sima Yan's wish for many years was fulfilled at one time, and she was very excited. It's been six years! In order to wait for this day, she has waited for six years, and the best youth of a woman's life is spent waiting.

"Yan'er, remember what your mother told you, don't get involved in any government disputes in the future, as a woman in the house, serving your husband well is the greatest success. Why did Pei Yinger get the favor of Da Sima? Because she can distinguish priorities, she is never pampered and arrogant, and she does not meddle in any political affairs. ”

"My daughter knows!" Sima Yan stood with her head bowed, remembering her mother's teachings.

"Now while the court announcer has not yet arrived at the house, my mother will tell you a few more words! Yan'er can understand, why Jiang Zuo can't wait to canonize you as a princess as soon as he learns your identity, and he has to marry Da Sima with great fanfare? ”

"Isn't it just trying to win over Da Sima?"

Sima Yan pouted and replied, although her experience in political struggle was far less than that of Yang Xianrong, she still had this bit of eyesight.

"That's right! The imperial court just wants to win over Da Sima through you! As Liaodong grows stronger, the imperial court needs to act as an intermediary through you. But Yan'er, you must remember not to mix it in. ”

"Don't worry, mother, my daughter is not so stupid!"

Just as Yang Xianrong was educating his daughter, Zongzheng Cao Tong rode a horse to the gate of the princess's mansion, and was immediately shocked by the luxurious and extravagant mansion in front of him. There have long been rumors in the market that the princess has a close relationship with the Da Sima family and has earned a lot of family assets with the Wei Mansion.

"The ministers are Zheng Cao Tong to meet Her Royal Highness Niangniang and Princess!"

Although the imperial court had no intention of welcoming back the sheep and even deliberately ignoring the other party, Cao Tong did not dare to treat her in the slightest when she came to face him, not to mention that she also had a daughter who was about to marry the most powerful feudal town today.

"Lord Cao is polite, where am I a mother? It's just an old woman who was lucky to live! ”

After the greetings between the two sides were over, Cao Tong read out the canonization of Sima Yan as the princess of Qinghe and the marriage will again, and Sima Yan was very excited with the marriage will in both hands.

Seeing this, Cao Tong hurriedly took the opportunity to speak: "Princess, don't forget the kindness of Your Majesty today's marriage, please take care of Jiang Zuo in the future!" ”

Yang Xianrong hurriedly said with a look on his face when he heard this: "What did Cao Zongzheng say?" Since the princess is married to Da Sima as her wife, she should naturally focus on her husband and children at home, where can she still have the energy to take care of Jiang Zuo? If His Majesty wants to talk about family affairs, the princess will be willing. But if you want to talk about something serious, you can go directly to Da Sima. ”

Forehead?! Cao Tong was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect to be rejected by two 'rejections' in a row today. But in the face of the parties, he didn't even have the courage to raise objections, so he could only retreat.

……

When the hustle and bustle of the day subsided, Wei Shuo quietly came to the princess's mansion in casual clothes. The others were retired, leaving only Wei Shuo and Sima Yan.

"Yan'er, I've suffered you all these years!" Wei Shuo stroked Sima Yan's delicate face and said softly.

"Brother Wei, Yan'er is not bitter! As long as it's for Brother Wei, let alone waiting for six years, what if you wait for sixteen years? ”

"Silly girl, do you think this is Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo! Sixteen years, how many sixteen years are there in life? ”

"Hee-hee! Big brother, who are Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo? Sima Yan asked with a pair of curious eyes.

"Well, this is a ranger couple, they have waited for each other for sixteen years in order to be together."

"Big brother, can you tell me the story of Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo?" Sima Yan took Wei Shuo's arm and begged.

Wei Shuo took pity on Sima Yan and waited for him for six years, so he sat on the couch with her and told the story of Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo. When it came to Yang Long's final meeting, Sima Yan was already moved.

"Okay, Yan'er, don't cry, it's just a story!"

Sima Yan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a choked tone: "People...... Family...... I'm impressed! It's good to have lovers finally get married! ”

"Well, in the future, Yan'er can finally disclose her identity openly, but Queen Yang is a little difficult to deal with. Jiang Zuo's side didn't want Liaodong to occupy any righteous position, so he had no intention of restoring his mother-in-law's identity. ”

Jiang Zuo was a little cautious and Wei Shuo knew very well that even if Yang Xianrong had not fallen into Hulu, her sensitive identity would still not be recognized by Jiang Zuo, unless she was willing to move to Jianye.

"Big brother doesn't have to feel guilty about this, my mother has long expected this, the court will not let a queen mother live in Jicheng for a long time!"

"Mother-in-law is wise!"

Wei Shuo was full of emotion, Yang Xianrong's political wisdom was really not low, and he saw the problem to the point. If Emperor Hui had half of her wisdom back then, the Great Jin Dynasty might not have fallen to where it is today.

"Big brother, can I come back often in the future? I was worried that my mother and younger brother would be lonely when I went to Weifu. ”

"Absolutely! This is your home, you can come back whenever you want, and you can invite your mother-in-law to the Wei Mansion from time to time. ”

"Hehe, thank you, Brother Wei!"

"Silly girl!"

……

The next day, the people of Manjicheng knew that the Son of Heaven had given marriage to Da Sima, and the eldest princess of Linhai was about to marry Da Sima, and the news was shaken by the world, and many people thought that this was the beginning of comprehensive cooperation between Liaodong and the imperial court.

This time, Wei Shuo once again felt the complexity of the ancient wedding, and there was Zongzheng Cao Tong next to him, and all etiquette was indispensable, and he had to come step by step according to the requirements. Fortunately, some of the previous preparations did not need Wei Shuo to come forward in person, otherwise he would have to be really busy.

On the eighth day of the first month of October, Wei Shuo personally came forward to ask for a famous ceremony, with Zongzheng Cao Tong and Changshi Pei Wei as the main and deputy envoys of the wedding, and adopted the ceremony in accordance with the etiquette.

This is the first ceremony of the six wedding ceremonies in the Zhou ceremony, specifically the chief and deputy envoys go to the woman's house with the man's dowry and ask the woman's parents for consent. At the moment, it is just a form of walking, and the woman naturally readily agrees.

After that, it's the second of the six wedding ceremonies: ask for your name!

Yang Xianrong handed over the name and birth date of his daughter Sima Yan to Cao Tong and Pei Wei, and the two handed over the Geng post with the eight characters and name to Zhang Laohan. Zhang Laohan once again acted as the elder of Wei Shuo, who was originally just an ordinary farmer, but now he has become a big man that everyone looks up to.

But even so, Zhang Laohan still did not change his original intention, never regarded himself as a big man, but always reminded his two sons not to embarrass Wei Shuo.

After Zhang Laohan got the eight characters of his birthday, he had to personally ask for divination to see if the two sides had any conflicts, and the result was naturally auspicious.

But these don't need Wei Shuo to come forward, the real drama is still to come, the wedding will not be held until the beginning of December, after all, it is the marriage of the Son of Heaven, and some things still need to be prepared, so the time will drag on for a long time. (To be continued.) )
