Chapter 6 It is difficult to start talking about the training of the heart
Since his son returned from Yunmeng Mountain to learn art, his mind has become elusive. As the saying goes: know the son Mo Ruomu. However, her mother didn't know anything about her son. Princess Liu was not only worried about Xue Dingshan, but also a little lost. Sitting in the chair, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Xue Yulian hurriedly suppressed her thoughts, walked over, and said, "Mother is worried about Yun Feng again?" ”
Princess Liu said: "As the saying goes: know the son Mo Ruomu. However, I am becoming more and more confused about your brother's thoughts. Alas! Now that it's all settled, it's too late to say anything. You can only take one step, look at one step. At present, we are still outside the frontier, and when the two countries are on the expedition, it is expected that the Holy Lord will not choose the auspicious period too far. Let's let Jingshan and Yihu prepare for the application as soon as possible. Avoid the impromptu hectic rush of unprepared time. Xue Yulian agreed and said, "Mother is very worried, and she should make some preparations early. We are no more than ordinary people, and this time it is the Holy God himself who is marrying. There must be no omissions. ”
After the mother and daughter discussed, Princess Liu said to Xia Cui, the maid beside her: "You go out to see if the second son and the second aunt are in the mansion, and let them come to see me." ”
"Yes." Xia Cui hurriedly went out.
Xue Jinlian also came over to persuade Princess Liu a few words, and Princess Liu said: "You guys, none of them make me worry." When I am like your father, you will be at ease. In a word, the two sisters Xue Yulian and Xue Jinlian were all full of shame.
There was not much time, Xia Cui raised the curtain and said, "Madam, the second son and the second aunt happened to be on duty and had already come in." ”
Before the words fell, Xue Jingshan and Dou Yihu walked in one after the other. Uncle Lang and Uncle Lang came to Princess Liu to salute and said, "See Mother." ”
Princess Liu said, "No need to be polite, you can sit down first." I have something to say to you. Just now, Cheng Lao Chitose came to see me with the command of the Holy One. It is said that the saint wants to marry Ding Shan in person, so that he and Lihua will have a round house. ”
When Xue Jingshan and Dou Yihu heard this, they were all very happy and said, "Congratulations to mother, this time my mother finally got her wish and saw my brother and sister-in-law reunited." ”
Princess Liu smiled and said, "I hope it is as you say." I expected that the Holy One would not choose the auspicious period too far, so I came to you. While you are not on duty in the camp, prepare everything that should be prepared in advance. lest the day be set, and there will be a temporary hectic rush. ”
Uncle Lang and the others hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, mother, we will prepare as soon as we have time." ”
"Okay." Princess Liu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good boy, this time it's all up to you." Ding Shan's military affairs are busy and he can't take care of these, so you can do more for him. Just tell me what you need.,It's not as good as it used to be.,Where is the identity of Pear Blossom.,You can't simply deal with things anymore.。 ”
Xue Jingshan hurriedly agreed and said, "Yes, please rest assured mother." My brother-in-law and I must have cooked it properly. ”
The mother and son discussed it before they dispersed.
Sure enough, Emperor Zhenguan Li Shimin considered that he was still outside the former enemy, and it was the time when the two countries were fighting, so the marriage period could not be delayed for too long. Therefore, several matters in the early stage, such as Nacai, asking for names, Najib, recruitment, and invitation, can be as fast as possible. Besides, the name has been set as early as a few years ago at the time of Hanjiang Pass, and there is no need to repeat it this time. After Cheng Yanjin and Li Shimin and Xu Maogong discussed, it took only three days for Cheng Yanjin to mediate and complete the Najib and Nazheng in the Six Rites. Li Shimin also ordered the military division Xu Maogong to choose an auspicious period. Xu Maogong pinched his fingers and thought about it for a long time, and finally chose the sixth day of the seventh month on the eve of the Qixi Festival as the auspicious period for marriage. Because, during the Qixi Festival, Li Shimin wants the whole army to take a holiday and reward the three armies, and he can take this opportunity to save a sum of expenses.
The date was chosen, and Li Shimin immediately ordered someone to send a post with auspicious dates and matters that needed to be avoided to the Shuaifu.
As soon as Princess Liu received the auspicious post, she immediately found Xue Yulian, Xue Jinlian, Xue Jingshan, Dou Yihu and others, and asked them to prepare for the wedding ceremony separately. The Shuaifu was immediately busy.
Princess Liu discussed with Xue Yulian to choose a suitable place as a new house for people to renovate. In the end, Xue Yulian proposed to let Fan Lihua move to the wing room on the right side of the courtyard of the inner house where Xue Yulian lived to rest, and rearrange Yilanxuan as a new house. The reason is very simple, Fan Lihua's illness has not yet healed, and Li Suo needs to recuperate, so Yi Lanxuan will move after getting married as a new house.
After the mother and daughter discussed, Xue Yulian took Fan Lihua to her courtyard for a temporary living. Princess Liu appointed herself as the wife of her daughter Xue Jinlian and her second son Xue Jingshan, and the second young lady Li Xiurong led the maid and maid to rearrange Yilanxuan.
The things needed to set up green tents, welcome the holy driver, and entertain guests were naturally all handled by Xue Jingshan and Dou Yihu. Although it is still said that it is still a place to conquer outside the fortress, it is not appropriate to be too extravagant. Because it was Li Shimin himself, the ceremony could not be too simple. Xue Jingshan moved some silver taels and assigned special personnel to prepare various applications.
Although Cheng Yanjin had already said that Li Shimin would personally pay for the dowry for Fan Lihua. Li Hong and Xue Yulian did not accept it, but took out their savings for many years to prepare four seasons clothes, gold and jade makeup, daily applications and other things for Fan Lihua as a dowry. Fan Lihua's heart couldn't bear to let their husband and wife spend too much, and repeatedly asked them to reduce unnecessary expenses. Xue Yulian didn't agree, so she just opened an order and asked Li Hong to send someone to buy the whole amount.
Several sisters from Bishan, Liu Ruyan, Dou Yuxian, and Cao Xiuluan came to Xue Yulian's room every day, and one helped cut and embroider the dress to be worn on the day of the wedding ceremony, and chose the hairpin that needed to be worn that day. The second is to comfort Fan Lihua in every possible way, so that she can relax. Fan Lihua couldn't bear to brush everyone's hard work, so she had to reluctantly smile and respond to the kindness of the sisters.
In the middle of the exhibition, it has reached the fifth day of the seventh month, and the lights in the marshal's mansion have taken on a new look. The old and young generals who came with the western expedition, as well as the civil and military officials of the Baihu Pass realm, etc., came to give gifts, and there was an endless stream of congratulations, and people came and went with laughter. Xue Jingshan, Dou Yihu received inside and out, and he was very busy. I had to invite Jiang Xu, Qin Han, Qin Ying, Xu Qing and other small generals to come over to help with trivial matters and receive guests.
Li Hong and Princess Liu's nephew, Liu Mengming, who is also from Bishan, didn't care about the previous matters, and only took care of various matters on Fan Lihua's side.
