Chapter 230: Marriage proposal
In early spring and April, the weather is sunny and bright all day long, and the season of birds and flowers is refreshing.
A month ago, the regent discussed Shao Wanyun's marriage with the Shao family, the regent has a high and powerful throne, and Shaojiang is now on a bumpy official road, so he is naturally willing to do this family business, plus Huo Yuchu has always had a crush on Shao Wanyun, and the marriage is a matter of course.
Even so, there must still be a proper proposal etiquette.
The Shao family looked for the most famous matchmaker in Zhaojing, and then accepted the eight characters, and it happened that Shao Wanyun and Huo Yuchu's eight characters coincided, and the matchmaker naturally came to the door and called Najib. But the Shao family did not give a bride price, and the marriage may not be established, and the marriage was only established after the bride price.
On the ninth day of the first month of April, the regent and his son Huo Yu came to the door to take the first visit, and when he came, he attracted many people to watch, because the bride price was numerous, and many carriages and horses were moved to Tuoba Mansion.
On such an occasion, Shao Wanyun naturally wants to come forward, after all, she is a parent, and she must be particular about dressing. She wore an orchid maid satin dress that had just been ordered this year, and she had long heard that the Shao family was coming to the mansion, and she was sitting in front of the dresser wearing earrings at the moment.
The maid walked in at this time and said, "Miss, the regent has already entered the palace, and the lord has sent someone to pass you over." ”
Shao Wanyun looked at herself in the mirror, felt that everything was decent, got up and straightened the buttons in front of her clothes, and replied: "Then let's go quickly, don't lose your manners." ”
As soon as she took a step, the maid opened her mouth again: "Miss, on such a big day, you can't be depressed, after all, the regent and the lord are here today." ”
Just this sentence was enough to make Shao Wanyunhua lose her complexion, first half stunned, and then frowned slightly: "I know." ”
The maid nodded: "The marriage is a foregone conclusion, Miss don't think about those useless things, you can stop thinking about that play." ”
Shao Wanyun took a deep breath, restrained all the emotions in her heart, and replied lightly: "I'm going to marry Huo Yuchu, don't mention him in front of me in the future." ”
The maid tightened the corners of her lips and said worriedly: "Miss, don't be too talkative about slaves, if you keep thinking about this, it will not be good for the rumors to spread the news, after all, it is the son of the regent who marries you." Miss's wedding is imminent, and if this gets out, it will not be good for both Miss and the regent. ”
Shao Wanyun knows the pros and cons, she also knows Huo Yuchu's temperament, he doesn't know his favorite Dieyi at the moment, if such a thing spreads out at this moment, it will alarm everyone, the regent wants face, the Shao family wants face, a regent, a doctor Guanglu, two high-ranking officials get married, and there are some ugly rumors, which is not good for anyone.
Although Shao Wanyun was unwilling, she still replied: "I know, let's go see Huo Yuchu first, don't let them wait for a long time." ”
The maid didn't say much, nodded, and followed Shao Wanyun to the front hall.
When I arrived in the front hall, I saw that the regent and Huo Yuchu were already sitting with their father drinking tea and laughing, and there were more than a dozen large boxes in the open space of the front hall.
As soon as Shao Wanyun came out from behind, he attracted Huo Yuchu's burning gaze, it was a kind of eagerness to marry Shao Wanyun, the woman he had been thinking about for a long time would become his wife in the near future, how could he not be happy.
Shao Wanyun stepped forward with a steady posture and saluted the regent and Huo Yuchu: "Wanyun has seen His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, and has seen His Royal Highness the Prince of the World. ”
The regent looked at Shao Wanyun's knowledgeable appearance, he was very happy, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, they are all people who are going to marry into the palace, so you don't need to be so polite." ”
Shao Wanyun smiled respectfully at the regent, turned around and sat on the chair under her father, her eyes wandered to see Huo Yuchu's gaze, Huo Yuchu looked like she wanted to say something, the kind of happy and half-panicked eyes, Shao Wanyun knew that this was called eyebrow flirtation, she secretly accepted it, smiled indifferently at him, and nodded slightly.
Huo Yuchu opened his mouth at this time, pointed to more than a dozen large red boxes in the open space, and smiled at Shao Wanyun: "Wanyun, look, this is a bride price from the palace, and it is also my heart." ”
It is a bride price sent by the Shao family, Shao Wanyun as the protagonist can't help but look at it, just sat down and got up again and walked over, the maid stepped forward and opened them one by one, and the golden brilliance at a glance.
Fine silk and satin, fine jewelry, precious gold and silver treasures...... If you read everything in large quantities, it will take a while to finish it.
Shao Wanyun looked at it but didn't care, in her eyes, this marriage was just a political marriage, and it was a good relationship between two surnames.
Turning around, Shao Wanyun saluted the regent out of courtesy: "Thank you, Your Highness, such a valuable dowry has made Wanyun panic." ”
The regent waved his hand indifferently: "Your father can marry you, the pearl of his palm, to our palace, and this king should not miss the bride price." Besides, you are so knowledgeable, this little bride price has married you, but this king thinks that it is earned. ”
The regent would say so politely, Shao Wanyun responded humbly: "Your Highness is serious." ”
At this time, Huo Yuchu got up, walked towards Shao Wanyun, pointed to one of the boxes and said, "I heard that Miss Wanyun has excellent literary talents, and she specially prepared a box of good four treasures of the study, do you like it?" ”
Shao Wanyun looked over, and at a glance recognized that the four treasures of the study room were rare Zhu Mo in the world, and then smiled: "It's bothering His Royal Highness the Prince, Shao Wanyun heard that His Royal Highness the Prince also prefers poetry and songs, and when I marry into the Yin Mansion in the future, I will be able to recite poems with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Huo Yuchu was very happy when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "That's naturally good." ”
Huo Yuchu smiled with satisfaction at this moment, and said to the regent: "Your Highness, look, these two people are very talented and beautiful when they stand together, and I, as a father, can't wait to see the two of them tie the knot." ”
The regent raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Since this is the case, then let's choose a good day and an auspicious day." I've found someone to calculate, and the 10th day of June is a good day. ”
Huo Yuchu smiled restrainedly: "Lord Shao, this is a plan?" ”
The regent pursed his lips and smiled: "Such a good thing, of course, is better as soon as possible, it is safe to marry the door, if such a good daughter-in-law is looked down upon by others, then wouldn't it be a big loss for me to give this colorful gift today?" ”
A joke caused Huo Yuchu to raise his head and laugh, the regent is the younger brother of His Majesty today, and Shaojiang has been a friend of His Majesty for many years, although the two seem to be unrelated, but because of His Majesty, now that their respective children are married, they naturally have a harmonious relationship.
Shaojiang smiled, and pointed at the regent again and again: "Your Highness, Your Highness, when will your calculating temperament be changed, I don't think anyone in the Rong Dynasty can calculate you." ”
The regent smiled and changed his words: "Your Majesty has entrusted me to deal with the floods in the south, and I will leave tomorrow, so I must be away from Kyoto for some time, you were entangled in lawsuits a few days ago, so you have to take more precautions." ”
When this matter was mentioned, Huo Yuchu's smile instantly dissipated, and he turned serious and said: "Okay, Your Highness can rest assured to deal with the flood, I can handle it alone." ”
The regent turned his head and glanced at Huo Yuchu at this time, and said, "Wouldn't it be good to let the prince come to visit Tuoba Mansion more during this time?" ”
Huo Yuchu naturally knew the regent's intentions, and nodded in response: "That's naturally good, now that the family matter has been decided, it doesn't hurt for the two children to have more contact, it's a good thing." ”
At this time, Shao Wanyun turned her head to Shao Jiang and said, "Father, can my daughter take His Royal Highness the Prince to the garden for a walk?" ”
Shaojiang happily agreed: "Go ahead, talk to His Royal Highness the Prince more." ”
Shao Wanyun responded with a smile, glanced at Huo Yuchu, and the two walked out of the front hall together.
