Chapter 336: When Whispering
Chapter 336 Worried
(Since everyone insists.) Then rewrite ...... )
King Wen Jun is a kind person, not arrogant, seeing that there are noble fathers and daughters coming to the road, as soon as they are hospitalized, it is like a real future in-law meeting, but Lu Yougui is flattered, a little overwhelmed.
Chun Ying occasionally quietly looked up at King Wenjun's expression, and saw that he looked at Hu Fei with love in his eyes, as if he was a real elder, and thought that Hu Fei had mentioned that he had talked to him about himself, and he must not have too much prejudice against his father and daughter, so he relaxed slightly, but then he heard King Wen Jun ask about the situation of the Lu family in his greetings, and there seemed to be some deep meaning in his eyes, so he woke up again.
King Wenjun had heard that Hu Fei's fiancée was a girl in a high-ranking family, but in fact, he was still a little embarrassed. Although it is said that he would rather marry a maid than a little girl, how can his own righteous son marry a girl as a wife?
This righteous son, in addition to being a little sleek at the beginning. I don't feel anything, but during my time overseas, I have been sick several times, and even contracted the epidemic for a time, almost in danger, even the servants brought from the palace are cautious, for fear of getting contaminated, the officials in the mission, even if they know their noble status, do not dare to approach, only Hu Fei, the child, is still waiting for him, decoction, porridge and water, there is no shortage of meals, he is uncomfortable, and he wet his hand towel to clean his body. I remember one time, I couldn't help it anymore, and persuaded him to stay away from him, and he also said: "The villain was also infected with this disease when he was in Nanyang in the past, and he was already cured at that time, and he will not be afraid of it in the future, and the prince does not have to worry." But when I asked the servant to inquire, others had obviously never heard of Hu Fei and had contracted the epidemic.
This child, no matter how difficult the conditions are, even if he is hungry and wears rags. He will also do his best to provide himself with the best things, and smile and say that he is full, or that he doesn't feel cold or something. This is by no means the point that a person who wants to climb up the ladder can do. And he mentioned to himself that his fiancée was a handmaid, and he was worried that his marriage would be hindered after returning to China, so he asked himself to make the decision for him. Is such a request that an ambitious person would say? It can be seen that he is an honest child, although he is more tactful in front of others, it is also due to the fact that he left his hometown at a young age and begged for a living alone. If you can't do it this time, it must be the mercy of the Buddha, so that you can get in touch with this child, although it is not biological, but it is also a rare fate.
Thinking like this, King Wen couldn't help but look at Hu Fei, seeing that he had been staring at Chunying, his eyes were gentle and focused, knowing that he must be single-minded, and the woman who could get his heartfelt affection to this must also be a good girl, right? He sighed secretly and looked at Chun Ying again. Seeing her sitting upright, she had a bit of a sense of grace, and her impression of her was a little better.
The conversation gradually turned to the substantive part, and when he learned about the current situation of the Lu family, not only King Wen was surprised, but even Hu Fei was also surprised.
Lu Yougui seemed to have regained his self-confidence, straightened his back, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the old master, the villain's whole family has been removed from the people's nationality, and he has his own industry, God blesses him." Originally, in Beijing, relying on the rent of a few houses, as well as occasionally running a few orders, I also had a good life. Later, I occasionally went to Jiangnan to do one thing, and found that the place here is rich and easy to make a living. The villain couldn't hold it back, so he simply settled here. Although the villain is also in his forties, who doesn't want to be famous? A stupid person like me can't expect to get ahead and earn a passable industry for his family, but he can still do it. Now I have opened a tooth shop in Suzhou City, relying on the merchants from all over the north and south of the river to appreciate their faces, and they are also a little famous, and the business is quite passable. Last year, there were several hundred gold in net profits, and in the spring of this year, several big deals were made. The villain has placed 180 acres of land outside Suzhou City, and plans to wait until he is old in the future. I took the sale and went back to the countryside to farm, so that I could enjoy a few years of happiness. Then he pointed at Chunying: "This child is not easy, for so many years, for the sake of the family, she has suffered a lot of grievances, and she and Brother Xiaofei are also full of twists and turns." I have the heart to give this child a piece of the land and marry this child, so that the young couple can live a stable life in the future. Her brother is still young, and I plan to send him to school, and when he is older, he will take the imperial examination seriously, so that he will no longer have to live in this businessman's business. ”
Hu Fei hurriedly turned his head to look at Chunying, his eyes seemed to be full of questions and surprises. Chun Ying glanced at him, pursed her lips and smiled, and winked proudly, as if to say, "I said it, you can't think of it again!" Hu Fei seemed to understand what she meant, squinted his eyes with a wicked smile, stretched his fingers in the cuffs a few times, and bared his teeth at her.
King Wenjun's laughter interrupted the small exchange between them, and the two of them hurriedly resumed their seats, listening to the elders with respectful expressions. King Wen Jun smiled: "That's good, that's good!" I'm going to buy some property for this kid, too. They will be better off in the future! "I am even more satisfied, although the background is poor, and now he is a businessman, but the Lu family has land and land, obviously he is gradually leaning towards the squire, if his youngest son really has a reputation in the future, this identity is different, Hu Fei is not only a royal businessman, but also a good match with his family.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but rise: "Ying Tianfu has already sent someone to report to the capital, and I am old." Instead, they will rest for a few days, and then enter Beijing in 10 days. Take advantage of the time to do things for the two children, I will personally officiate the marriage, and also drink a cup of daughter-in-law tea from your daughter! Lu Yougui was overjoyed, got up and bowed: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”
Chunying followed the salute, but her heartbeat sped up a few beats, and then she secretly glanced at Hu Fei, but found that Hu Fei was staring at her upright, and she couldn't help but feel hot.
This time, is she really going to get married? Is she really going to marry Hu Fei?
When the wedding was really ready in full swing, Chun Ying finally had a sense of reality. Lu Yougui mobilized all his connections: asked the Jing family embroiderer to embroider a wedding dress and embroidered quilt for his daughter, asked the weaver to rush to weave one hundred and twenty jacquard colored satin, the cloth merchants, tea merchants, porcelain merchants, and jewelers he knew all sent congratulatory gifts, and there were also familiar foreign merchants who lent more than 20 boats, Zhuangzi sent vegetables and fruits and livestock to be eaten on the table, the same tooth merchants sent the best local wine, and even the Nanyang fleet manager of the Hou Mansion also sent a few boxes of medicinal herbs and jewelry to add makeup. Not to mention the scattered things sent by other acquaintances.
Chunying stood by the window, looking at the dowry in the entire backyard downstairs, a little dumbfounded, and turned back to ask her father, "Will this be too much?" Our family...... It's not that big, it's too conspicuous, beware of making people worry about it! ”
Lu Yougui waved his hand indifferently: "This is the face given by others, it is caused by your father's usual ability to be a man and make more good connections, and he will be unhappy if he doesn't accept others." Besides, people in Jiangnan have always paid attention to ten miles of red makeup when they marry girls, what are these? This is because you are in a hurry, you don't even have time to make your own wedding dress, and you can't find a good carpenter to beat the furniture, so you can only settle for it, otherwise, there will be more. ”
Chunying bit her lip: "Actually...... I can embroider the wedding dress myself. Originally, more than half of it was embroidered, and it could be made in a hurry...... It's because Dad you don't think it's gorgeous enough, so you asked the Jing family to do it. 10 days...... I was already in a hurry, I ...... I don't have to rush to marry him in a few days...... "It seems a little weird to be in such a hurry......
"Nonsense!" Lu Yougui glared, "Are you still waiting for him to come back from the capital?!" I have inquired about the more than 20 people in their mission, and most of them are well-off, and a few of them are famous. When they saw the emperor, the emperor was happy, and he didn't reward an official for them? When the time comes, there will be a lot of daughters rushing to marry them! Although Brother Xiao Fei has no fame, he is the godson of the prince, who knows how many girls will like him? If he doesn't get things done early, if he marries someone else, how can he be good? The duck that has been boiled for many years is now in the mouth, and you can't let it fly! Speaking of this, he was a little proud: "Those who are in the future generations also have early engagements, and I have also communicated with their father-in-law's family, and now Suzhou City is doing happy events, we are not conspicuous at all!" ”
Chunying opened her mouth and couldn't say a word.
As the wedding date approached day by day, Chunying suddenly felt a little flustered. Is she really going to marry Little Feige? Although she had been looking forward to this day for a long time, when this day came, she was a little unsure. In modern times, she has never even been in love, and she has crossed over in a nonsense manner, but she is about to get married? In case of...... In case this is just a dream, maybe one day in the future, she will wake up and return to modern society, so where will she find her little Fei Ge?!
Also, this ancient marriage is very different from modern times. Man...... But he can take a concubine. If...... In the future, she will be old and no longer young, but Hu Fei will fall in love with others...... Even if he is really loyal and unyielding, if she is pregnant, does she have to arrange a warm bed for him as written? Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth: Even in ancient times, if she married an ancient man, she would never have thought that she would do this! If someone dares to come and rob her, don't blame her for being rude!
Thinking about it this way, she felt that it was a good thing to hold a wedding as soon as possible, at least, after Hu Fei showed his face in the capital, there would be many fewer women who beat him up. As for the future, it's up to her ability!
It's just that such a tangled mood has pestered her for several days. Why can't she see Hu Fei? Since she came back from beating him, she hadn't talked to Hu Fei except for a few hurried words when she first met in the teahouse, and she really hoped to see him, tell him all the uneasiness in her heart, and let him give her a reassuring answer.
Chunying was still nervous about waiting for marriage, and Hu Fei didn't feel at ease. He is alone here, even if he invites the king of Wenjun to marry, and sends a letter to ask the housekeeper and others in the village to assist, there are countless things for him to handle. At the same time, Nanjing Yingtianfu, Suzhou Mansion and even Hangzhou City Bosi Yamen also came to the door, he still has countless things to explain to them, the officials of several big cities want to feast the members of the mission, he bears the name of the prince and the righteous son, and has made great contributions in this trip, the goal is too eye-catching, I have to go to the entertainment with other members of the group, less than three days, I can't stand it anymore, I begged my father-in-law to speak, and then I got out.
Lao Zhang, the steward of the village, quietly reported to him about Boss Hu's mother and son, and because he had no father or mother, according to local wedding customs, he needed female elders to come forward, so he asked him if he wanted to inform Mrs. Hu? Hu Fei sneered, he never thought of calling these two enemies at all, and asked Lao Zhang to hide this matter, lest Hu Peng come to make trouble when the time comes. With King Wen in charge, ask him to be the man's high hall.
In addition, according to local customs, a few days before marriage, the male housewife should personally go up for the daughter-in-law who has not passed the door. Who knew that Hu Fei was going to post a post to invite, and over there, King Wen Jun had already sent a letter to his brother-in-law Ying Chengbo, who was staying in Nanjing, and asked his sister Mrs. Ying Chengbo to come over. As a result, Hu Fei's elders are complete.
Li Xu, a close friend who had returned to Suzhou, was worried that Hu Fei only had real estate in Changshu, and it would take too long and too tiring to travel between Suzhou and Changshu to welcome the new year, so he bought a three-in, three-out, three-out house with a small garden in Suzhou City for him, and sent the deed in advance as a wedding gift. Hu Fei held his hand gratefully, speechless for a long time. When King Wen Jun found out, he patted Li Xu's shoulder and said, "Okay! It can be seen that he is a bosom friend, thoughtful, and the young man has a future! Li Xu smiled, looking gentle and humble.
Both Hu Lu and his family are in full swing to prepare, although the time is very fast, but both parties intend to make the wedding bigger. On the Hu family's side, it was Hu Fei who wanted to earn a face for Chunying, and King Wen felt sorry for this righteous son who had no parents and elders to manage; On the Lu family's side, Lu Yougui has the heart to show his strength after he is developed, and Lu's mother has the intention of showing off, so both sides can do their best. Chunying persuaded her father several times to live within her means, not to sacrifice the quality of life in the future for her wedding, and Lu Yougui was slightly restrained. It was just an invitation sent by the two families, but it covered almost half of the city of Suzhou, with officials of all sizes, wealthy businessmen from all walks of life, and even weavers and shipwrights invited to drink a glass of water and wine. Coupled with the weddings of the other descendants of the mission, the entire city of Suzhou was shocked. Not to mention that the princes and princes who came to Daming with the delegation as guests, after seeing the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, also had the heart to participate in these weddings and have a good time.
Seeing this, the prefect of Suzhou wanted to show his face in front of the officials and dignitaries who rushed to congratulate the king of Wenjun, claiming that Suzhou City had such a grand event for the first time in the past hundred years, and as a parent official, he also wanted to express it, so he ordered people to prepare a lot of fireworks on the edge of Taihu Lake, and set up a lantern night market in the city, announcing that he would "enjoy with the people".
In front of King Wenjun, he had already prepared his rhetoric, from praising the prince's righteous son for being young and promising, talented, and promising, and then developing to praising all the members of the mission, who were very shrewd and capable, and made countless meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty to the West, and promoted the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, which is even more eternal, and all of this is because King Wenjun has a good leadership and has more fleets going to sea, why don't you see those people so capable? ! Then he changed his words, and he humbled himself earnestly, saying that although he was not very good, but thanks to the emperor's blessing, the people of Suzhou Mansion were rich, and they were full of food and drink, and they also hoped to have some fresh entertainment. So, the fireworks in the lamp market appeared, which are all to celebrate the 30th birthday of our emperor, and the people of Suzhou sincerely wish the emperor a birthday and Tianqi!!
As the emperor's birthday was approaching, "auspicious" appeared in various places, and the prefect of Suzhou was not worried that his actions would cause the emperor's dissatisfaction. King Wen Jun was dizzy and confused by him, but it seemed to be a very happy and lively thing, and when he looked back, the envoys of various countries were there, and he always wanted to open their eyes and increase the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, so he nodded.
When these words reached the Lu family, Chunying's mouth was almost closed, and she left it alone - it wasn't her and Hu Fei who wanted to be lively, although it was taken advantage of, it didn't seem to be so uncomfortable for her, why did she worry so much?
In this way, the relatives, guests, houses and a variety of products were all arranged, seeing that there were still four days before the day of returning to Beijing, there were seven or eight members of the mission who wanted to marry a wife, and each of them counted the auspicious days, and found that they were all on the same day, or even at the same hour, they were all a little stupid, only King Wen didn't care, and waved his hand vigorously: "Let's do it together!" "The city of Suzhou is completely lively.
