Chapter 232: Old Tears Hengfang Shangshu Married a Daughter
Although he slept late at night, Fang Shizheng still got up at the beginning of Yin, he wanted to line up outside the noon gate at Yinzheng, the bell rang at the turn of Yin and Mao, the palace gate opened at the same time, and the hundred officials were divided into civil and military sides, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and gathered in the square in front of the palace.
He got into the sedan chair outside the second gate, and was stopped as soon as he got out of the gate.
It was none other than the Inspectorate's Zuo Yu Shi Yi Chengjin.
He smiled and said, "Lord Fang, how can you be fickle like a woman?" Yesterday I just said that I was going to marry my daughter to me, and I sent someone to rob her back in the evening. The lower officials are still worried about you, and they entered the palace overnight to meet the crown prince! ”
"How dare you...... That's all because her brothers are naughty, and they are afraid that their sister will suffer a loss outside......"
"I don't need to explain, I have brought the dowry today, and I will take your girl's eight characters back in a while, and I will do the big thing on the auspicious day of the zodiac, what do you think?"
"This ......"
"Let the people of the lower officials go with your housekeeper, and the lower officials and the adults will go to the court together, right?" Yi Chengjin didn't wait for him to reply, got on the horse and walked slowly in front.
He brought a lot of people, more than thirty people, and they didn't need to be invited, they lined up and walked to the Fang Mansion with the dowry.
Fang Shizheng had no choice but to say to the housekeeper standing outside the door: "Fang De, you bring someone in to find Mrs., just follow the rules." ”
He knew that not only could he not say a word in the court today, but he could not say a word even if he dispersed the court.
In the early dynasties, officials above the fourth rank could enter the temple to face the saint, although Yi Chengjin was standing in the back, Fang Shizheng, who was standing in the front row, could still feel his gaze with barbs.
Fang Shizheng deliberately listened attentively, it was nothing more than that the emperor did not find the main force of the Mongolian army in Mongolia, Guantai Mountain in Fujian gathered 10,000 people, and it was rare for a large number of Japanese robbers to appear in the coastal areas of Shandong and Fujian at the same time.
Fortunately, no one asked him about the grain and grass, and the general ministers were still arguing there, whether the grandson should lead the troops to Fujian.
Fang Shizheng looked at the crown prince sitting on it, his face was tired and a little absent-minded. The crown prince was fat, and when he sat down, he felt that most of the dragon chair was gone, and his face was often flushed abnormally, and he was praised by those ministers as a blessed face with a red face.
If he knew that Emperor Jianwen's son was also in the upper court, I don't know how he would feel.
Standing in a daze all morning, Fang Shizheng withdrew from the main hall. Yi Chengjin was standing outside the palace gate waiting for him.
"Lord Fang, you see, a group of people quarreled and quarreled, and they didn't come up with any specific methods, this is the crown prince of the dynasty that you maintained? Or is it the court of the dynasty to which you are allegiant? ”
Yi Chengjin walked down the steps with his hands behind his back, in front of them, there were Zhu Zhanjun and Zhu Zhanyong, they could not have come to the court, but their father asked them to come to the court on time every day, although they didn't live far, it was not as convenient as the grandson's brother.
Last night, the brothers gathered at Zhu Zhanyong's mansion and were still discussing Zhu Zhanpei's affairs.
First of all, it is said that the father was amorous in the early years, and the people left a daughter, and they had to wait for the emperor's grandfather to return to the dynasty before they could ask for the county lord to take it back. He also said that this county lord was originally in the palace, one year older than Jiaxing, and was the eldest daughter of her father.
also said that this county lord who has not yet been sealed is related to Zhu Zhanpei.
The emperor and grandson were not there, so they talked about Silas casually, it was almost midnight before they dispersed, and they were about to go to court after a few hours of sleep, and they were not shuffled at this time?
Yi Chengjin smiled and said, "These people are the ministers of the future auxiliary government?" ”
Fang Shizheng was speechless. Maybe Zhu Zhanji was favored by Emperor Yongle and was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the other emperors and grandsons did look bleak under his light.
Yi Chengjin raised his chin and seemed to smile, yes, why can't the world let him get involved?
Fang Shizheng was helpless, so Yi Chengjin followed him all the way back to Fang's mansion, and when he entered the gate, he heard Fang Wanyan messing with her mother in the side hall:
"I'm not married! Why should I marry someone who kidnapped me and burned me? Father should have dragged him to see the official, why should he be polite to him and accept his dowry? "Love the Book House
"The little girl is so powerful?" Yi Chengjin said with a smile: "It's okay to go to see the official, but I don't know, is your father above board, dare to go to the official with me?" ”
As soon as Yi Chengjin's words came out, the people in the side hall were stunned, and they all looked at Fang Shizheng.
Fang Shizheng frowned and said, "The order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, when will it be your turn to call the shots?" ”
Fang Wanyan was stunned all of a sudden, since she was a child, her father had never said anything serious to her. She also thought that this time she could cry and make trouble as before, and her father would be soft.
"For the sake of convenience, I have invited both the matchmaker and the hexagram girl, and the people who came today are my witnesses. Plus the dowry, I think, the six ceremonies are all together. ”
I saw that the hexagram girl who had already gotten Miss Fang's birthday had a charming smile on her face and said:
"Adults are really blessed, Miss Fang was born at noon, as the saying goes, 'girls are rare and expensive at noon', daughters born at noon are the best, dragons and phoenixes among people, born prosperous!"
Yi Chengjin laughed and said, "It turns out that Miss Fang is still a treasure!" What about auspicious days? I want the day that is nearest. ”
The sister-in-law took out a piece of yellow paper, on which three days had been written, she looked at it and said, "The day is close enough, but I am afraid that the two governments will not have time to prepare." Three days later, it will be a good day for you both. ”
"Three days? Enough is enough! ”
Yi Chengjin bowed to Fang Shizheng and said, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law will come to marry your daughter in three days." ”
After saying that, he walked out of the door with his hands behind his back and triumphant. When he walked to the door, he heard Fang Wanyan crying "wow" inside.
Soon, Yi Chengjin called the matchmaker and sent the wedding letter with the wedding date written on it.
"Father! Why are you afraid of that kid, he is just a fourth-rank official, even his father-in-law, the official rank is one level lower than yours. Before, he kidnapped the third brother and Wan Yan to threaten you, but now that the people have returned, what are you afraid of? ”
Fang Hanwen's three brothers couldn't see it, and they came to speak for their sister.
As soon as Fang Hanyun snatched the marriage book, he was about to tear it in half, but was stopped by Fang Hanwu, he grabbed the marriage book and asked his father:
"Father, did he have any tricks in your hands? Is the name written on the kidnapping letter that day your handle? ”
Fang Shizheng shook his head, but said in tears:
"That old handle, the father didn't take it to heart, but this person is not trivial, if you don't marry your sister to him, he is not at ease with his father, and he doesn't know what he will do. It's about the country's social welfare, and I don't dare to take risks for my father......"
He ...... Isn't it a royal history? What's so big about it? ”
"Don't ask, the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes......"
"Father ......" Fang Wanyan, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, came in crying: "What kind of national society, do you have to sacrifice your daughter's happiness?" ”
"Wan Yan...... Father is your father, but he is also the minister of the Ming Dynasty......"
"I don't want to ......" Wan Yan was desperate, knowing that begging his father would not change anything, he turned around and ran out crying.
"Apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, go and follow your master!" Fang Shizheng sighed, handed the marriage book to his eldest son and said:
"Go, according to the amount of his dowry, order a wedding box and come back with your sister's dowry."
Seeing that his father had made up his mind, Fang Hanwen took the marriage letter and went out dejectedly. He rode a horse and was very reluctant to buy a dowry, and suddenly remembered Xu Zhijin, who saved his sister yesterday:
Yes, go for a drink with him.
