Do you still remember the "Golden Bottle Plum" gamble three years ago when Zhang Cao lost to Zhang Yuan's beautiful maid Qiu Ling, when Fan Zhen pleaded with Zhang Yuan to ask Qiu Ling to be a concubine, Fan Zhen's wife has died, Qiu Ling became Fan Zhen's steproom after giving birth to a daughter for Fan Zhen, Xiao Yuzi is doing well, at the end of last year, "Yang and Mi Xing" opened, Fan Zhen assisted Zhang Ruiyang in the rice line to manage things, this time Yiting married as Zhang Ruiyang's righteous daughter, Fan Zhen and his wife naturally wanted to come to congratulate - when they were maids in Xizhang, Qiu Ling thinks that she is half as high as Dong Zhang's Yi Ting, she Qiu Ling doesn't have to do rough work, look at that Yi Ting, all year round in the Mash River to wash clothes, Qiu Ling often leans under the willow tree by the river while eating melon seeds while gossiping with Yi Ting, who is buried in laundry, once Qiu Ling deliberately and Yi Ting's hands are better-looking, Yi Ting works more, how can Qiu Ling's hands be delicate, Qiu Ling is very proud - and now said, looking at the phoenix crown and the scenery, as the Yi Ting married by Miss Zhang's family, Qiu Ling is very lost, Yi Ting's husband Zong Yishan is rumored to be the son of a slave, but the young master of Jie Zi values his talent, and other people also regard this Zong Yishan as a decent person, and there are hundreds of people who participate in the wedding, blowing and beating, lively and lively, even Lord Xizhang and Liu Zhixian have sent congratulatory gifts, which is like she was quietly taken back by Fan Zhen at the beginning, and now although she is also a wife, Fan Zhen is already an old man in his fifties, and people are more popular than death!
Yi Ting didn't know that he was envied and jealous by Qiu Ling, these Yi Ting observed Zhang Ruoxi's words and deeds very carefully, deliberately imitated, today is said to be a happy son, Yi Ting, who was born as a maidservant, looks very good at every move, she is willing to change herself for Zong Yishan, she wants to study, she wants to learn to manage accounts - since Zhang Ruoxi married Qingpu ten years ago, it was Yiting who helped Zhang's mother Lu as a housekeeper, and now Yiting is married, Zhang's mother Lu has one less intimate person, many things feel inconvenient, sometimes I can't find a thing, I feel that there are not enough manpower, I can't be busy, the male servants in the house have Laifu, Laiwang, Fu Cheng, Fu Dagong, Wuling, and Shishuang father and son, but the maid in the inner courtyard is now only the little girl Rabbit Pavilion alone, the rabbit pavilion is still relatively ignorant, and she can't manage anything, Zhang's mother Lu is a little worried, Zhang Ruoxi smiled and comforted: "How can my mother worry that no one in the inner courtyard will call, and in a few days, Miss Ran is our Zhang family, she must have a maid to marry, and then there is nowhere to live." ”
Zhang's mother Lu suddenly turned her worries into joy, and said: "Then hurry up and clean up, the West Building will all be vacated-"
Zhang Yuan is busy these days, needless to say, there are constantly friends from near and far to congratulate, on the ninth day of April, six officials came from afar, sent two congratulatory gifts, handed over two letters to Zhang Yuan, and left on the same day, East Zhang congratulated many guests, these six officials came and went and did not attract much attention from others, they were sent by the Nanjing garrison eunuch Xing Long, one of the two congratulatory gifts was sent by Xing Long on behalf of the eunuch Zhong Benhua, Zhang Yuan wondered how Eunuch Zhong would know his wedding date, and read the letter that Eunuch Zhong gave him, Fang knew that Eunuch Zhong learned about his marriage date from his brother-in-law, Zhou Zuo, the imperial historian of the Imperial Historian, so he wrote a letter to ask Xing Long to prepare a congratulatory gift on his behalf - Eunuch Zhong vaguely told Zhang Yuan in the letter that the situation of the crown prince Zhu Changluo was very bad, Zheng Guifei was arrogant, and the eunuchs who followed the prince were all worried, but he followed the emperor's eldest grandson and said that he was quite calm, he followed Zhang Yuan's instructions, and after returning to Beijing, he took the initiative to serve the emperor's eldest grandson, he was one of the ten talented internal officials, and the celebrant arranged for him to teach the emperor's eldest grandson to read and write, because the prince was treated coldly, Even if the seven- or eight-year-old children from slightly better folk families have entered social science enlightenment, but the eleven-year-old emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Youxiao, has only learned a dozen words, these dozen words are his own name, the name of the palace where he lives, and the name of his eldest companion Li Jinzhong - Eunuch Zhong complained to Zhang Yuan, saying that many eunuchs in the palace laughed at him when they heard that he went to serve the latter's eldest grandson. But what kind of vision is the eldest grandson of the emperor, Eunuch Zhong is almost forty years old, and the prince is only in his early thirties, how long will this last?
-- Also, Zhu Youxiao, the eldest grandson of the emperor who has been staying in the deep palace, has nowhere to go, neither studying, but somehow developed the habit of loving carpentry, keen on rope cutting ink, cone chisel and sawing is the belongings of the emperor's eldest grandson, he is not very willing to listen to teaching and read, and only likes to play with the eunuch Li Jinzhong, which makes Eunuch Zhong very helpless, thinking that this eldest grandson has no appearance of a king, Eunuch Zhong feels that the future is bleak, let's wait for death - Seeing Eunuch Zhong complaining to himself in the letter, Zhang Yuan couldn't help laughing, he really felt that he had pitted Eunuch Zhong, and said in his heart: " The emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Youxiao, is only eleven years old, and he is already obsessed with carpentry work, and the teenage child is also depressed in the palace - then Li Jinzhong is Wei Zhongxian, Eunuch Zhong is a literati, Wei Zhongxian is a ruffian, Eunuch Zhong is afraid that he can't fight Wei Zhongxian, and Zhu Youxiao's nurse Keshi should already be in the palace. ”
There was nothing in Eunuch Xing's letter, just some polite words, Zhang Yuan replied to Eunuch Xing with a text message to express his gratitude, for Eunuch Zhong, Zhang Yuan couldn't reply to the letter, he couldn't give him guidance, only let him stay in the cold palace, and now Wei Zhongxian won't treat him well, because there is nothing to fight about - let Zhang Yuan and Shang Ran extremely regret that Jing Lan and Jing Hui sisters can't come back, there was a letter at the beginning of the year saying that they were going back to Shaoxing to attend the wedding, but at the end of last month, Shang Zhou Zuo had a letter saying that his wife Fu couldn't bring his second daughter back, Because Fu's miscarriage was bedridden, Fu had always wanted to give birth to a son for Shang Zhouzuo, and finally conceived, but had a miscarriage, which was very sad, so he only ordered his family to bring congratulatory gifts from his brother and sister-in-law from the capital to bless the newlyweds to grow old and give birth to a noble son early - on the tenth day of the fourth month, Qin Minping took his twelve-year-old nephew Ma Xianglin from more than 4,000 miles away from the Shizhu Tusi of Yucheng Mansion to Shanyin, and walked on the road for more than a month. Zhang Yuan's joy can be imagined - the tall Qin Minping has not changed much from two years ago, but his nephew Ma Xianglin has changed a lot, this twelve-year-old boy is five feet tall, only slightly shorter than Zhang Yuan, his hands are broad, he is brave at a young age, his face is childish, he wears a silver ring on his neck, and when he sees Zhang Yuan, he immediately kneels and bows, and is called "Uncle Shi", Qin Minping told Zhang Yuan that his brother-in-law Ma Qiancheng had died at the beginning of last year, because Ma Xianglin was young, His sister Qin Liangyu attacked the stone pillar to proclaim the envoy - ...... Since the eighth day of the first month of April, it has rained for several days, which makes Zhang's mother Lu a little worried, for fear that it will still rain when her son gets married, and when Qin Minping and his party arrive on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the sky will be clear.
On April 11, Zhang Yuan was accompanied by his father Zhang Ruiyang and his brother Zhang Dai, worshiping the gods (Shaoxing people are commonly known as wishing good fortune) and worshiping ancestors (commonly known as inviting adults to soup and rice), and then invited the sedan chair and set up the theater booth.
Early in the morning of April 12th, Zhang Yuan bathed, put on the groom's clothes, and the theater in front of the door has begun to perform the Yuan miscellaneous drama "Wall Head Horse", which is Bai Pu's famous romantic comedy, which is specially rehearsed for Zhang Yuan's wedding by the West Zhang Ke dining class, Wang Kedian as Zhengdan Li Qianjin, singing enchanting - the big red woven gold embroidered sedan chair has stopped in front of the courtyard gate, the sedan chair has a large bronze mirror on the left and right sides, the bronze mirror is polished brightly, and the hair can be seen, which is to ward off evil spirits - Zhang Ruiyang's elders, a pair of children and grandchildren in Dongzhang are full of old couples playing Fu, Lu Erxing, Male lucky star holding a bronze mirror to the sedan chair to shine, female Lu Xing burned sandalwood scented sedan chair, this is to expel the demons and monsters in the sedan chair, commonly known as "search sedan chair", is the sedan chair must have before the procedure - advocating boiling ears, the team of greeting is about to set off, wearing the groom's auspicious clothes Zhang Yuan to the door to the sedan chair respectfully made three major changes, this is called sending the sedan chair, Shaoxing wedding customs, the groom is not to the woman's house to greet the relatives, just wait at home, accompany the guests.
A group of musicians in the dining class also followed the welcoming procession, carried by 16 strong men to the tent, singing all the way, following hundreds of people watching the excitement, filling in the road, just like praying for rain in the previous year...... Xinghua Temple near Wang Siren's house, Wang Yingzi is writing in the front yard study, she likes to read and write in this study, and Zhang Yuan is the same, Wang Yingzi wants to make an eight-strand essay every time, although she knows that it is impossible to participate in the imperial examination in this life, but she is still willing to insist, and there is also Zhang Yuan sent her Hanshe Book Company to print the "Jiao's Pen Ride" - since Zhang Yuan went to the Guozijian last year, Wang Yingzi is like a student who is about to take the exam, reading very hard, the history and Yin Fu, Lao Zhuang, Neidian, barnyard official history, all browse, Her sister Wang Jingshu said that she was a book demon and a bookworm, but she also knew in her heart that her sister Yingzi was reading books to dispel her lovesickness for Zhang Yuan - Wang Jingshu walked in quietly, looking at the infant who was in a daze, Wang Jingshu shed tears first, and the infant Zi exclaimed: "Sister, what are you crying about!" ”
Wang Jingshu looked at her sister Yingzi fixedly, and was about to speak, but Yingzi suddenly listened attentively and said, "Sister, listen-"
Wang Jingshu listened calmly and said, "Someone sings." Suddenly I realized that this should be the team of the Zhang family of Shanyin to marry the girl of the Shang family - the singing and blowing were approaching, and when I passed in front of the door, I heard the melodious female voice of the Xiao Sheng singing:
"If I still recruit a merry son-in-law, how can I teach to learn to draw distant mountain eyebrows. It is better to teach the silver jar to shine high, and the brocade tent to hang low. The flowers are deep and protruding, and the sycamore branches are hidden and the phoenix is amphibious-"
The voices are noisy, and the singing voice is gradually indistinguishable, but Wang Yingzi already knows that this is singing the Yuan miscellaneous drama "On the Wall", that Li Qianjin met Pei Shaojun in Luoyang, and eloped with Pei's house, because there was no parent's life, he hid in the back garden of Pei's house to live, and gave birth to a pair of children for Pei Shaojun.
