Yunluo inquired about Ling Hua's news, if he didn't want to be known by Ling Hua, he really wasted a lot of effort.

An hour later, he said to the banquet lightly, "The master has been embroidering the auspicious clothes worn by the little marquis for your wedding in the mansion for the past five days. ”

Yan was stunned for a moment, "My auspicious clothes, didn't you say that she didn't do it?" ”

"Originally, it was the embroidery lady of the Imperial Clothing Bureau, and it was the best embroidery girl of the Imperial Clothing Bureau assigned by the Queen Mother, but because you asked the master why she didn't do the auspicious clothes for the wedding, the master was concerned about this matter, and after returning to Beijing, he went to the Imperial Clothes Bureau first and took the auspicious clothes back to the house."

Yan was silent, "Did she do it?" ”

No wonder there hasn't been any movement these days, and he didn't say that he had to let her do his auspicious clothes.

Yunluo said sincerely, "Even if you do it, I'm afraid it's very hard." ”

Yan Qing stopped talking.

Yunluo looked at Yan Qing, and was very good at taking the opportunity to fight for the master, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to go and see the master?" You haven't been to Ling's house yet? ”

"Is it appropriate to come to the door without a smile?" Yan Qing asked casually.

"Right! You are the master's fiancé, so you don't need to pay your respects in advance. Yunluo felt that it was necessary to talk to the banquet about something he didn't realize, "Since the marriage of the Holy Decree, the six rites that need to be taken in the south are all taken by the people of the Ministry of Rites instead of you, in fact, if it is not for the Ministry of Rites to prepare for this big wedding, you will have to go to the woman's house in person for the six rites." ”

Yan Qing knew this, but he never took it to heart, and now he asked casually when he heard the words, "Where has the six rites gone?" ”

It's only been more than a month, so I shouldn't have taken two steps, right?

Yunluo didn't know very much, he had been following the little marquis of the banquet, and he didn't go out of his way to inquire about the process of the Ministry of Rites preparing for the big wedding, "Go down and ask?" ”

Yan said lightly, "Just call the housekeeper." ”

Even if the Ministry of Rites came to prepare for the wedding, the gift list was still the official account of the Houfu, and the housekeeper knew it.

The housekeeper came soon, I heard that the banquet was going to ask about the six ceremonies of the wedding, thinking that the little marquis had finally begun to care about the wedding, he was very happy, and he was happy to see his teeth and eyes, and he bowed his hand to the banquet, "Little marquis, you want to ask about the six ceremonies of the big wedding, this old slave knows that now it has come to the third ceremony, and the day set for the third ceremony is tomorrow, although you and Miss Ling are married by holy decree, Miss Ling means that the wedding day is more cumbersome, and the rest can be simplified, but the queen mother does not agree, The Queen Mother felt that it was still necessary to go through all the procedures of the six rites in a proper manner like the marriage of ordinary people, and if others had it, you and Miss Ling would have it too, after all, the big wedding of a lifetime, just this once. ”

Yan nodded lightly, anyway, it didn't use him to go, it was all a matter of the Ministry of Rites, and he had no opinion, so now he asked, "What do you do with the third ceremony?" ”

"The third gift is Najib, the man asks for his name, and after combining the eight characters, he notifies the woman of the auspicious omen of the marriage and gives a gift. This gift is to give a pair of wild geese, also known as the laying of geese ceremony. Originally, this pair of geese should have been sent by the little marquis to call outside the city in person, and then personally sent them to the woman's house, but you are afraid of trouble, Miss Ling said that these can be saved, and let the officials of the Ministry of Rites send someone to send it, and the Ling family is not so particular. The housekeeper said, "The geese in the Ministry of Rites are all raised geese, and they are naturally not as good as the geese you shot, Little Marquis." ”

The banquet was noncommittal, "Why do you want to send a pair of geese?" ”

"Because geese are such birds, they migrate north and south with the change of seasons, the seasons are timed, conform to yin and yang, the spouse is fixed, one dies, and the other no longer chooses a mate, implying that the husband and wife are loyal and the marriage is harmonious." The housekeeper was very happy to have the opportunity to talk more about this with the little marquis, he thought that the little marquis was afraid of trouble, so he didn't ask, and regretted that it was the little marquis's wedding, but he didn't know anything, just like people who didn't have anything to do with themselves.

Yan nodded lightly, "What about the next three salutes?" ”

"The fourth gift is to accept the levy, the south sends a dowry to the woman's house, our gift list has already been prepared, the old slave thinks you should take a look at it, choose the gift list by yourself, Miss Ling knows, she will be very happy. The fifth rite invitation period, this is also simple, after all, the Queen Mother and Miss Ling have already found Qin Tian to supervise the auspicious day, go through the motions, write you and Miss Ling's life in red paper, and let the official media send it to the woman's house, this red note should have been written by yourself, but you are afraid of trouble, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites can also write it on your behalf......"

Yan Qing frowned when he heard this, "The Ministry of Rites is really capable, and everything can be done for me." ”

The housekeeper "uh" for a moment, "The Ministry of Rites does not often prepare for weddings, after all, not everyone can be qualified to invite the Ministry of Rites, even when the prince got married, he also went to the Wen family in Youzhou in person, sent a pair of live geese, and wrote Gengchen on red paper, although he did not personally greet the relatives, but also gave the Wen family in Youzhou enough face......"

Yan turned around lightly and did not speak.

The housekeeper continued, "The sixth ceremony is the wedding day, and generally speaking, the new son-in-law personally goes to the woman's house to marry the bride. This is the only thing Miss Ling asks you for, on the day of the wedding, you go to Ling's house in person. ”

After hearing this, Yan Qing waved his hand, "Okay, I know." ”

The butler looked at him, "Then you ......"

"It's okay, I'll ask." Yan Qing turned around and left.

Butler: "......"

So just ask? He also thought that the little marquis wanted to participate in person, and he was happy in vain.

The butler looked at Yunluo.

Yunluo didn't understand, and followed Yan Qing and left.

The housekeeper stood in place for a moment and sighed, thinking that Ling Hua was generous and generous, if this was another woman, I was afraid that I might not know how uncomfortable it would be. What woman doesn't want her fiancé to pay attention to her marriage?

Ling Hua didn't know that Yan Qing also asked about the six wedding ceremonies, she naturally didn't care about it at this time, what she wanted was to marry Yan Qing, the wedding day was bigger, and no one would laugh at her, as for the rest, she didn't care much about it, it was just a process.

All her attention is placed on the East Palace, as long as the East Palace makes the first move, she will also shoot as soon as possible, Xiao Ze wants to take this opportunity to erase what he did regardless of the people, dreaming, he wants to atone for his sins and take the opportunity to relieve His Majesty from not giving him a deadline to think about it behind closed doors, and also dream.

She felt that Xiao Ze should continue to think about it behind closed doors, only if he was locked up for a long time, the people in the East Palace would be fluctuating, and Xiao Ze would be constrained everywhere, so he would not be able to stabilize himself, and it would be beneficial to her to do something else.

As soon as the time of the two days arrived, the people in the East Palace went up to the fold according to Xiao Ze's instructions, saying that they had received the news from below, that the flood in Hengchuan County stretched for thousands of miles, and the disaster was very serious.

This fold was handed to the emperor, and when the emperor saw it, he immediately asked Zhao Gonggong, "I remember whether Hengchuan County is the Hengchuan County where Fang Jing asked Fang Jing to build a dam several times before he died?" ”

It has only been two years since he asked the household department to allocate funds, so he naturally remembers it clearly.

Zhao Gonggong nodded, "It is that Hengchuan County, at that time, Lord Fang must have asked Your Majesty to pay attention to the construction of the embankment in Hengchuan County, and you also paid attention to it, so that Lord Feng, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, personally went to Hengchuan County, Lord Feng came back and said, what Lord Fang said is not bad, the embankment in Hengchuan County must be repaired as soon as possible, but the construction of the embankment in Hengchuan County must not be too simple and rough, because of the terrain, a large project must be started, otherwise it will not be able to stop the flood, because of the need for a lot of silver, you hesitated for a few days, and finally gritted your teeth and asked the household department to allocate three million taels of silver. ”

"In that case, then I'm not mistaken." The emperor's face was ugly, "This excerpt says that the flood in Hengchuan County has washed away the embankment, and the disaster has stretched for thousands of miles, which is simply ...... Absurd! ”

How could the embankment built by the imperial court at a cost of three million taels of silver collapse due to a great flood? If he had never paid attention to the embankment in Hengchuan County, it would have been fine, but two years ago, he attached great importance to it, how could such a thing happen?

The Emperor commanded, "Call the man who went up to him, and I will ask him myself, where did I get the news?" Really? ”

In fact, he already felt in his heart that nine times out of ten it was true, and no courtier dared to hand over a fold to him to make it up.

Because of this, he was angry and couldn't believe it.

Zhao Gonggong should be, and immediately send someone to pass it on.

The people on the fold belong to the Donggong faction, surnamed Zheng, called Zheng Changming, he soon came to the imperial study, face to face the emperor, for the emperor's inquiry, he bluntly said that there is indeed such a big thing, he has a wife and nephew, from the direction of Hengchuan County, it is said that Hengchuan County sent a big flood ten days ago, heavy rain fell for two days, Hengchuan County's embankment was washed out on the second day under the heavy rain, because the embankment intercepted the meandering river and the Hengchuan River and the Huangshui River three river basins, so, the embankment was washed away, the downstream thousands of miles of land, all flooded.

The emperor was furious, "Ten days ago, why didn't Hengchuan County report it?" Why didn't the court hear the slightest rumor? ”

Zheng Changming pretended not to understand and did not dare to answer.

Gonggong Zhao said cautiously on the side, "Your Majesty is angry, the excerpt of the report is on the way, after all, Hengchuan County is far away from the capital." ”

The emperor's face was gloomy, how could he calm his anger? The embankment in Hengchuan County, which was built with three million taels of silver, asked again and again at that time, saying that it could be kept for decades, but it was washed away in only two years, who would tell him what was going on?
