Chapter 408: Marriage

On the evening of March 29, the sky was slightly dark, and the palace lamps had been lit in Fushoutang. In the house, except for Ye Feng, the men who went to school in the government have all returned, and Fushoutang is very lively. They accompanied the old couple to talk and laugh, waiting for Ye Feng to come back for dinner.

Suddenly, a mother-in-law in the outer courtyard ran in crazy and reported, "There is an inner servant in the palace, let the four girls go to the outer courtyard to receive the holy decree." ”

Let Ye Lan receive the holy decree? The crowd was taken aback.

The old man and the old lady glanced at each other and had some understanding. Ye Guogong and He An also glanced at each other, how long had it been since they looked at each other so tacitly? Of course, at this time, they were not in a relaxed mood, and there were some speculations.

Ye Lan looked dazed, still a little afraid, and asked He'an with a pout, "Mother, I didn't get into trouble......"

He An put his arm around her and said, "Good girl, of course you didn't get into trouble, don't be afraid." Then he asked her grandmother to accompany her back to change into her festive clothes, and then talk about the etiquette of receiving the holy decree. Ye Lan's upbringing grandmother is a female official who came out of the palace, and Ye Lan has also seen other people in the family receive the holy decree before, so she should be able to deal with it.

The man in the official uniform hurried to the front yard, and the female dependents who had an edict also went back to the yard to put on the edict uniform.

When everyone came to the front yard and knelt down, Ye Lan knelt at the front. The chamberlain glanced at Ye Lan before he sang, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said that I heard that Ye Lan, the granddaughter of the Duke of Jin, is gentle and kind, with outstanding appearance, and I am very happy." My fourth son, Liu Rui, King An, is smart and intelligent, has both ability and political integrity, and the daughter of the Ye family can be called made in heaven. In order to become a beautiful woman, you will be married to King An as a concubine. All the etiquette will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor to be jointly handled, and you will get married after you are married. The proclamation is at home and abroad, and the salty envoy hears it. Chin this. ”

Ye Lan was afraid, but she still kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Lord Longen." He raised his hands above his head.

The chamberlain put the holy decree in Ye Lan's hand, and then smiled at the old man and Ye Guogong, "Congratulations to the old man, congratulations to the grandfather." ”

Everyone got up and sent the waiter away, but Ye Lan was still blind.

Ye Lan was a little shy, but even more dazed. She looked at He An with ignorant eyes, "Mother, I ......"

She knows that her elders and brother and sister-in-law have been helping her see others, and she is also full of longing for her future life and father-in-law. She never dreamed that she would be given marriage to King An. She had met King An and played with them when they were young. King An is white and delicate, and he is also kind, but he is blind in one eye......

Lao Guogong and Ye Guogong never thought that they could become a couple before, and the emperor did not reveal this thought. Now that the decree of marriage is here, think about it carefully, although King An is blind in one eye, but with the emperor's guilt and the prince's love, he will be able to be rich and prosperous for a lifetime. Moreover, King An has a gentle temperament, and will no longer fall into the turmoil of seizing the prince, and the relationship with the father and son of the Ye family has always been very good, and Ye Lan married him very well......

Moreover, King An is only thirteen years old this year, Ye Lan is twelve years old, and the emperor gave marriage so early, probably hoping that the young King An can get more love from his family.

Regarding the feelings of King An, the ancestors and grandchildren of the Ye family are complicated. At the beginning, the emperor handed him over to the Ye family at a young age, hoping that the Ye family could assist him. But at that time, the Ye family was secretly already a party of the eldest prince, and they were inextricably linked with the eldest prince. I also felt that the eldest prince was more suitable and more hopeful to be the emperor, while the little fourth prince was not suitable for sitting in that position...... The fourth prince was injured, and the Ye family was instructed by King Ming to deliberately let go of a gap when protecting him...... In this matter, several members of the Ye family have always felt a little guilty.

That's fine. King An has become his son-in-law, and his family should treat him better.

He An couldn't think of so much, just thinking that King An was blind in one eye, everything else was good, and his daughter could be the master of the house as soon as she got married, which was much better than marrying those big families. She hugged Ye Lan, who was at a loss, and laughed in a low voice, "Good girl, this is a good thing, you should be happy." ”

Everyone congratulated Ye Lan and Ye Guogong and his wife on returning to Fushoutang. Ye Lan listened to He An's whispered explanation on the road, and knew the many benefits of marrying King An, and King An's merits were enough to cover that defect, so she became happy. I was too shy to go to Fushoutang and went back to my yard.

Ye Fengfeng rushed back, and after hearing about it, he also felt that it was good for his sister to marry King An.

After the meal, they all went back to their homes. The elders rewarded Ye Lan with a lot of good things, and the juniors also gave Ye Lan gifts to congratulate.

Sending away the girl who gave the gift, Qiu Li smiled, "I have to be more careful about my sister-in-law's dowry." ”

Ye Feng said with a smile, "Well, the original silver is not enough, not only will the public middle school have to be filled again, but my grandmother will probably take more private houses." Xiaomei and Lu still have three years, enough time for you to prepare. ”

Qiu Li sighed again, "I heard that the emperor gave King An a lot of property, and they couldn't spend all the flowers while they were lying down." ”

Ye Fenghao said angrily, "The money I earned for you, you can't spend it while lying down." ”

The next day, there was an endless stream of relatives and friends who gave gifts and congratulations. Although receiving gifts is a matter of the outer court, Qiu Li will also have a gift list copied by the foreign affairs room. The old lady asked her to screen it, and if there was one suitable for Ye Lan as a dowry, she would select it and put it separately.

Qiu Li was busy with this for most of the day.

Today, Qiu Zhongshu did not come to his sister's house to play as usual, but sent someone to deliver a letter early in the morning. said that his father took him to make friends, and he was very proud of being an "adult" between the lines.

Qiu Li has always been worried about Qiu Zhongshu, who is a motherless child, afraid that Aunt Ma will be wronged by his big heart. In this way, his life is still very good.

At the end of the morning, Qiu Li suddenly remembered Ye Feng's complaint and Ye Guogong's beating. Since Ye Guogong was beaten, either Ye Feng didn't return home because of something else, or Ye Guogong was not at home because of something, and the two of them hadn't met before yesterday.

Seeing Ye Feng coming back from the outer courtyard, she asked with a smile, "Didn't my father-in-law beat you too much?" ”

Ye Feng also remembered that incident. smiled, "After so long, there is such a happy event as a little sister, where does my father remember that incident." He added, "I told my grandmother and mother about letting you stay in Fengming Town for a few days, and they all agreed. My mother said that the family was busy, so let you go and go back quickly. But grandmother said that the young couple should be together more so that they can spread out more, so that you can live in Fengming Town until the end of the year, and I will accompany you back to Beijing. ”

Ye Feng wanted Qiu Li and Brother Jin to live near the barracks for a few days. The excuse was that for the comfort of his stay, he bought a small yard in Fengming Town, near the barracks, and wanted Qiu Li to take care of it there. This can be done by others, but this is the duty of his wife, and Qiu Li should take care of it herself. Old Mrs. Ye and He An both felt sorry for Ye Feng, afraid that he would be wronged outside, so they didn't disagree after hearing this.
