Chapter 1217: Preparation

What Xie Pu can perceive, the officials in the city may not be aware of others. But Yan Wangfu acted secretly and kept silent to the outside world, so naturally they had a reason. In addition, the empress dowager and the fourth prince are all in Beiping, no more than before, even if the Chinese military officials in the city have some guesses, they will not talk indiscriminately, so as not to make the nobles unhappy.

Of course, whether they will secretly discuss with their family confidants at home is not something that outsiders can know.

————

Xie Pu noticed something different from the words and deeds of the prospective son-in-law, but he also had no intention of making a noise, just chatting with his wife, and he didn't even plan to tell his daughter. Their daughter's wedding is just around the corner, and their family has a lot of work to do! King Yan will never let his only son's wedding go wrong, so their Xie family only needs to cooperate. Yan Wangfu didn't plan to let them know what was going on, so they didn't need to pay attention to it.

It's just that after Xie Pu found out that the angel who came to the house tomorrow to issue the canonization decree was the father-in-law Gao who was waiting in front of the emperor, he specially instructed his wife Wen to arrange things more carefully and carefully. The fathers-in-law of the Yan Wangfu look at the past friendship and the fact that they are the in-laws of the Yan Wang couple, even if they make a slight mistake, the father-in-law will turn one eye open and close the other. But the father-in-law in front of the emperor is different, if the Xie family really goes wrong at this moment, it will be a fool of himself to go to the palace!

Xie Pu knew that he had become a political envoy in Beiping, and at his age, it was rare to see it in the Manchu Dynasty. But he has not entered the Hanlin Academy, it is impossible to enter the cabinet, and now he has become the in-law of the palace, according to the rules, it is not good to serve as the chief official of the six ministries again, and the five temples are just back, but there are no vacancies in recent years. At this time, if he is transferred back to the capital, he will be at most a high-level idle official, not only will he be busy with entertainment, but he will not have much real power in his hands, and he will not be able to do anything. Rather than waste his time, he would rather stay in the local office.

At present, because of the special status of Yanwangfu, he can continue to be an official in Beiping for a few years, but it is difficult to say where he will be transferred after this term of office expires. Now that he has established a good relationship with the people in front of the emperor, and in the future, he will ask the Yanwang Mansion to help with one or two, and with the help of old friends in Beijing, he may be able to stay in Beiping for one more term, even if he is transferred, he will not be too far away. But in case there is no one in front of the emperor to say anything for him, or even if someone in front of the emperor doesn't have a good impression of him, God knows which poor country he will be transferred to?! Even if he reaches his current official position, no matter where he is transferred, the place will not be too bad, after all, his grade is placed there, and the office is at least the capital of a province. may be an official in a familiar place, but after all, it is still different.

Xie Pu has the heart to take this opportunity to have a good greeting with that father-in-law, and it is great to be able to form a friendship with the other party, and it is even better to maintain this connection, which can come in handy when needed in the future. He came out of the capital because he had a feud with the Cao family, and his original connections were almost useless, and the officials who could keep his friendship were basically not in high positions and couldn't help him. Now that the Cao family is half-defeated and undefeated, it should be impossible to cause trouble for him anymore, Jiao Wenying's special identity is inconvenient to have personal relations with foreign officials, the eldest princess of Yongning and the Ma family rarely interfere in court politics, and there may only be one Yanwang Mansion that Xie Pu can rely on. But considering the identity and situation of Yan Wangfu, Xie Pu didn't want to ask for everything to come to the door and cause trouble for his daughter......

Xie Pu discussed it with his wife Wen, and they both reached a consensus on this matter. Wen didn't know how to please that Gao Gonggong, although it was a common method to give gifts and silver, but if Gao Gonggong was a person who was willing to accept gifts, he would not be as respected by the emperor as he is today. It's not that they can't give gifts to Gao Gonggong, but they need to pay attention to proportion, don't please them, but provoke the other party's disgust. But fortunately, Gonggong Gao went north with a large number of guards, in order to protect the Queen Mother and the four princes, they had to stay in Beiping City for at least half a month, and the Xie family still had the opportunity to contact him, secretly probe his preferences and taboos, and if necessary, let the newly released second son-in-law help pull a line......

The couple discussed this for a long time, and did not fall asleep until late at night. Fortunately, they slept well that night, and when they woke up the next day, they were in good spirits again.

Wen finished freshening up early in the morning and took his family to set up in the front yard. Today, the angel sent by the emperor will come to the Xie family to canonize the ceremony, and the Xie family will have to set up another case in addition to the incense case. The Wen family had experienced a tribute before, and the chief of the palace Shi personally taught the opportunity, and Princess Yan also specially sent Aunt Wu Qiongye to come to give guidance, so she also knew in her heart, and put out the prepared furniture and various items early, and laid out the red carpet.

Today's sky is beautiful, only a light rain fell in the middle of the night, the weather has been sunny in the morning, only a few clouds are faintly in the sky, and there is a light breeze. The ground in the courtyard is almost dry, and there are servants who have wiped it again in the morning, and after laying the red felt, they look at it and look like they are not clean, and then put on a brand-new table, and the male and female servants of the Xie family who are standing next to them are also neatly dressed and have good etiquette, and Wen feels very good when he looks at it.

Wen then went back to the inner courtyard to see how his daughter was doing. It is an hour for the angel to arrive home, and it is not far away now, if the daughter has not dressed up and shown her timidity in front of her father-in-law, it will not be very good-looking.

However, what reassured her was that Xie Mulin had already dressed up at this time, sitting on the edge of the kang in high spirits, holding a book and flipping through it unhurriedly, waiting for the call of his parents. She doesn't have to wear the crown dress of the princess of the county today, she just needs to dress dignified and generous, the color of the clothes is as plain as possible, and the jewelry should not be too complicated, which will not be respectful. Therefore, she wore a red dress and blue dress that she usually used to go out, her hair was combed in a straight bun, she wore a filigree inlaid pearl and lily gold crown, lined with matching earrings, and wore a gold bracelet on each wrist, which looked rich and generous.

It's just a little old.

This dress was chosen by Wen in advance, although Xie Mulin felt that this color scheme was very indescribable, but this was the contemporary aesthetic, and she could only admit it. Fortunately, the gold crown earrings are all played according to her meaning, looking rich, in fact, with special craftsmanship, light and exquisite, easy to wear and stable, she is very satisfied. Even today's makeup is also made for her by Xiang Tao according to her meaning, which not only highlights her beautiful appearance, but also does not have the traditional style of white face and red cheeks and red lips of others, but it looks very natural, with a good complexion, and a particularly outstanding temperament, which looks a little more beautiful than usual.

Wen praised the peach for her good makeup, and specially rewarded her with a red envelope, and then took her daughter's hand and repeated the various procedures and etiquette on the canonization ceremony with her daughter twice, for fear that her daughter would forget which one and would make a fool of herself in front of people for a while.

Xie Mulin listened to them one by one, but when he saw her repeating and repeating, he couldn't help but doubt, for fear that he had forgotten the etiquette, it was actually her mother, right?

The mother and daughter were talking, and Ma Lu Yao's family rushed in: "Mrs., second girl, someone is here!" ”
