Chapter 131 - Nacai II

The capital is very lively, Nacai's team is moving forward step by step in the capital, and the people on both sides follow with a smile, and there is only one destination, that is, Zhang Guoji's mansion.

At this time, Zhang's mansion was already busy, cleaning the yard and preparing for dinner. Although it is not necessary to entertain all the future people, the deputy envoy, the Ministry of Rites, and the officials accompanying them all have to be entertained.

With the sound of drums, Nacai's team got closer and closer to Zhang's house, and the people of the Zhang family, under the leadership of Zhang Guoji, came to the gate of Zhang's house to greet the angels. At this time, the incense case had already been placed at the gate of the Zhang family, and everything had been prepared. The officials who came here one step earlier had already arranged everything for the Zhang family, and no one was willing to let go of this opportunity to tie up with the abbot.

When the team came to the front, they slowly separated, and the first to come out was Liu Yijing, a cabinet scholar holding the holy decree. Glancing at Zhang Guoji, Liu Yijing said loudly: "Zhang Guoji, take the order!" ”

With Liu Yijing's shout, everyone around knelt down, and Zhang Guoji said loudly: "The grass people take the order!" ”

Slowly unfolding the holy decree, Liu Yijing said loudly: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Zha Zhang's daughter, virtuous and virtuous, gentle and virtuous, established as the emperor, Liu Yijing, a scholar of the special envoy cabinet, will do the gift of asking for names." Chin this! After Liu Yijing finished reading, he handed over the holy decree in his hand to Zhang Guoji. After Zhang Guoji received the holy decree, he naturally shouted long live three times, thank the lord Longen.

Liu Yijing did not step forward to help Zhang Guoji, and the expression on his face was also very serious, as if he was waiting for Zhang Guoji to do something.

Offering the holy decree on the incense case, Zhang Guoji picked up a piece of paper on the table, handed it to Liu Yijing respectfully with both hands, and said loudly: "This is the little girl's birthday, please keep it away!" "This Zhang Guoji is a little worried, once Qin Tianjian calculates that his daughter is not in harmony with the emperor, it will be an oolong. However, he is also blindly worried, and it is estimated that there is no one who does not open his eyes and dares to say such a thing as discord.

Taking the watch handed over by Zhang Guoji, Liu Yijing handed it to a person behind him, and said with a serious face: "Go back and deduce the auspicious day, Your Majesty will choose a day to get married!" Liu Yijing naturally understood this, and he didn't say anything at all, and it directly became an auspicious day for choosing a good day.

Waving his hand to the people behind him, Liu Yijing said loudly: "Salute!" With his words, the brocade guards behind him carrying gifts walked into Zhang's mansion in pairs. Under the guidance of the housekeeper of Zhang's house, the gifts were placed in the courtyard of the Zhang family one by one.

When Nacai etiquette was just formed, Nacai was just asking a matchmaker to probe the wind and ask the meaning of the girl's family. At that time, people believed that the wild goose was a symbol of single-mindedness, so they had to send a wild goose when they were picking. If the girl's family does not agree, they will refuse at this time, and the wild goose will become a meeting.

However, with the passage of time, the atmosphere of Chinese people who love to compare is not absent at that time, so this greeting gift is getting heavier and heavier, and only when the etiquette is serious can it reflect sincerity. If the courtesy is light, the woman will think that you are disrespecting them, and the marriage is likely to fail. Of course, if the emperor marries, even if he doesn't give anything, no one dares to refuse.

However, the royal family can't afford to lose that person, so this gift is incomparably large and very precious. The original wild goose was replaced by a jade goose, but it was no smaller than the real wild goose, and it was not ordinary at first glance. Gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, all are special supplies from the inner government, and ordinary people have never seen them in their lives. The porcelain of the official kiln, the calligraphy and painting of the famous family, in short, is extremely precious, and there are many of them.

The people standing in the crowd only need to be envious, how many people hate themselves for not having this blessing! There is no need to say any rewards such as titles and fiefdoms, just this greeting gift is enough for a large family to live for several lifetimes.

When all the gifts entered Zhang's mansion and Zhang Guoji thanked him again, Liu Yijing's face showed a smile, walked quickly to Zhang Guoji's side, took Zhang Guoji's hand, and said affectionately: "Guozhang has worked hard, congratulations!" Today, the old man is cheeky to ask for a glass of water and wine! ”

"Look at what you said, you are a member of the Cabinet University, and this is a distinguished guest that I can't even invite! Please inside, the wine and food have already been prepared! "Beckon everyone in, and tell the housekeeper outside to take care of the people who come outside.

Everyone who comes has a reward, which is absolutely indispensable, even Liu Yijing and Sun Ruyou. This is already a rule, the person who gives it is at ease, and the person who receives it is also at ease. However, the number of people in different positions is different, but the Zhang family is not embarrassed if there are too few, and those who play the drum are rewarded with two taels. In short, just for the reward, the Zhang family spent almost 2,000 taels, but fortunately, the Zhang family has quite a lot of property, otherwise the money would not be able to afford it.

On this day, the Zhang family is very lively, the capital is also very lively, and the Forbidden City is no exception, of course, the place of celebration is Cining Palace.

Looking at the very happy Empress Dowager, as well as several concubines of Emperor Taichang, who are now all concubines, Emperor Tianqi pondered for a moment, and said to the Empress Dowager: "Queen Mother, there are still some things ahead of the sons, so let's go first!" ”

Glancing lovingly at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Go ahead!" Be a good emperor. ”

Without hesitation, the Emperor of the Apocalypse stood up and saluted everyone, and then left with Chen Hong quickly. When the Emperor of the Apocalypse returned to the Qianqing Palace, there was already a person waiting here.

Glancing at Luo Sigong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked with a serious face: "Luo Aiqing, is there any news from Liaodong?" ”

Bowing to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Luo Si said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the people sent by Jinyiwei and Dongchang have arrived, and the message that has just been sent back here is here!" ”

Sitting on the dragon chair, rubbing his swollen forehead, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said lightly: "I don't have the heart to look at it, pick the important ones and talk to me!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Lord Sun and Lord Yang had already arrived in Liaodong, and the batch of materials they had transported had also arrived in Shenyang. Lord Sun left the generals, and those seeds, Lord Sun had already sent someone to the governor of Liaodong. Jinyiwei and the people from Dongchang have also arrived in Liaodong, and the investigation of spies has not yet begun, so there is nothing to gain. Luo Sigong said to the Emperor of the Apocalypse simply.

"The most important thing is those seeds, I have already told Yang Lian to keep them secret, you are sending a secret order to let the Jinyi Guards in Liaodong take care of them for me." The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Luo Sigong with burning eyes, obviously still worried about this Liaodong matter in his heart, and did not relax his vigilance at all because of the big wedding.
