Chapter 333: The Day of the Wedding

Chapter 333 (I'm going out to run errands today, so I rushed to two chapters in a row.) Thank you wangtx for the monthly pass, and thank you for the generous reward from Uncle Xianshi. )

The news that the inner court was about to reopen the West Factory Yamen and add the Inner Factory Yamen soon spread, and the government and the opposition suddenly discussed like a frying pot, and the shrewd people saw the hidden signal at a glance, and this move was obviously aimed at Song Nan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was in the limelight. And the emperor's decree agreed, which just sent a signal to everyone that Song Nan had fallen out of favor. At the same time, another signal was also transmitted, and Liu Jin and Song Nan had completely torn their faces.

Li Dongyang convened Wang Wei, Yang Tinghe, and some civil officials of the outer court to discuss the matter, and finally unanimously decided to change the tradition of the foreign court like to point fingers on this matter, and uniformly maintain silence; It's easy to wait until Liu Jin and Song Nan pinch each other, so why don't you have to watch from the wall.

At the beginning, the outer court that was jointly rectified by Song Nan and Liu Jin fell into disgrace, and now it finally has the opportunity to watch the dog eat the dog, and the outer court will not go out of the fire or help a certain party no matter what, and it is almost the same to pour some oil on the fire at a critical time.

The British grandfather Sun expressed his great surprise, they thought that Song Nan would definitely have a way to prevent Liu Jin from reopening the West Factory; Now it seems that not only failed to stop it, but added a new Laoshizi inner factory outside the West Factory, which made it even worse for Song Nan's Jinyi Wei Yamen.

Song Nan's attitude is intriguing, when the Manchu Dynasty civil and military Xun Qi hid aside and pointed and poked his backbone, this gentleman was as if nothing happened, talking and laughing heartlessly, as if it was not him Song Nan who was unlucky, but someone who had nothing to do with it.

Of course, everyone thought that Song Nan was pretending to be calm, and everyone thought that before the establishment and operation of the inner factory and the west factory, Song Nan would definitely have a big counterattack. However, the expected scene did not come, Liu Jin quickly took seven or eight days to set up the framework of the inner factory and the west factory, the opening of the inner factory and the west factory was just around the corner, and Song Nan did not make the slightest move, but took the initiative to dispatch nearly 3,000 Jinyi Wei capable people to fill the inner factory and the west factory, and gave his hands to Liu Jin in vain.

For a while, the gossip was very loud, Song Nan was covered and laughed at behind his back, and the officials of the inner court were also arrogant, and when they met the brocade-clothed guards on the street, they were also arrogant, and they took some words to ridicule and ridicule.

It's been a long time since the brocade-clothed guards have been angry with the soldiers, how can they endure the blatant ridicule? Zhengnanfang Jinyi Wei Yamen, which has a fine tradition of confrontation with Fanzi, took the lead in attacking, and fought with the officers at Huima Qiaotou, overthrowing more than a dozen soldiers; Just when people thought that this incident would become the fuse of the Jinyi Guard's counterattack, Song Nan ordered someone to tie up dozens of Jinyi Weiti Cavalry who participated in the brawl to plead guilty to the inner court, and severely punished the Jinyi Weiti Cavalry who participated in the fight, which made the majority of Jinyi Weiqi School so angry that they were about to vomit blood.

Not only that, Huang Hui, a thousand households in Jinyiwei in Zhengnanfang, was severely punished by Song Nan in public with twenty mulberry sticks because of his radical words, and he was beaten with tears and cried; Everyone understands that it is not that he can't hold on to these twenty mulberry sticks, but that he can't get rid of the grief and humiliation in his heart.

After this incident, everyone understands, Song Nan is completely cowardly, Liu Jin has occupied the absolute upper hand, the smash hit Song Nan is destined to fall like a meteor, this young Song Nan, who has risen to the top at a young age and has done a lot of staggering contributions, finally regained his original face, and Song Nan, who was as shining as a comet in the eyes of others, was no more than Erer.

After entering the wax moon, the first heavy snow of this winter fell, and overnight, someone piled up a big snowdrift of a shrunken turtle on the Yamen Square of Jinyiwei, and ridiculed Song Nan's incompetence to the fullest.

The eighteenth day of the lunar month came in a blink of an eye, but the British government did not dissolve the marriage contract because of Song Nan's loss of power, and Song Nan's wedding to the lord of the small county went on as usual, as if to dilute the bad luck on his body, the wedding ceremony of the Song Mansion was extremely grand, and hundreds of carriages and horses were hired to marry him, which stretched for miles in the market; And the dowry of the British government is also generous, and the dowry cart is lined up from Yongding Gate to the Prancing Horse Bridge.

Horses, luxury cars, tables, chairs, benches, bedding, tents, clothes, shoes and hats, gold and silver utensils, jade and jewelry, slag buckets, wax tables, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, etc., are simply everything, and people with a heart calculate the value of these dowries on the surface, at least worth more than 100,000 taels of silver.

"No wonder he wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head, marrying the small county lord of the Guogong Mansion is equivalent to hugging a mountain of gold and going home, and it is enough to eat a dowry for the rest of his life, of course he will not work hard."

"It's a pity that the old man of the Guogong Mansion, a hero for a lifetime, was brought by Song Nan alive and ruined the reputation of the Guogong Mansion, I'm afraid that the old man will vomit blood in anger."

"The county lord of Shuyi is pitiful, who is not better than marrying this shrunken turtle? A flower was inserted into cow dung. ”

All kinds of gossip in private, a lot of blessings, and slander are full of ears and eyes, the groom's official Song Nan is unconscious, sitting on a tall horse and smiling to welcome his relatives home; The two hundred tables of banquets originally prepared, but in the end there were only more than 100 tables, and many people saw the wind and steered, clearly indicating that Song Nan was about to lose power, how could the grass on the wall be false and wronged with him again, and this congratulatory gift was also exempted.

However, what is surprising is that in the morning, people from the palace came to bring congratulatory gifts from the emperor, and gave the emperor a plaque of 'Qin Se and Ming' written by himself, which suddenly made the specifications of the whole wedding extraordinary; many people originally planned not to come to congratulate them, but when they heard that the emperor had also sent people to congratulate them, they also hurriedly came to congratulate them, and the cabinet ministers who had not planned to attend also decided to come to congratulate Yang Tinghe as a representative.

Jiang Bin, the new deputy chief of Datong, led dozens of cavalry galloping thousands of miles to congratulate in a high-profile manner, which made people smack, and at noon, there was another row of honor guards in the palace, and it turned out to be Princess Kangning who came to congratulate herself, which was even more confusing.

Everyone really can't figure out whether this Song Nan is gaining power or losing power, but whether he is out of favor or favor, how the emperor and princess have come to congratulate him, this face is really not small; But one thing is still very clear, no one in the inner court has come to congratulate from beginning to end, obviously the bad relationship between Liu Jin and Song Nan is obvious, it seems that the emperor and the princess came to congratulate him to look at the face of the British princess, not Song Nan's face.

In a warm pavilion in the backyard, Song Nan stood in front of Kang Ning nervously, he didn't expect Kang Ning to come to congratulate him in person, he felt faintly uneasy in his heart, he was afraid that Kang Ning was here to smash the field, and recently he was holding his tail and being a man, today is a day of great joy, but he can't do anything wrong, otherwise he may not be able to control his anger.

"Sit." Kang Ning looked at Song Nan intently.

Song Nan hurriedly said: "The minister is still standing." ”

Kangning smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will come to make trouble for your wedding?" Don't worry, I won't, I'm here to congratulate you sincerely, this is the jade butterfly that this palace gave to the lord of Shuyi, and I will tell her for me, and I will say that this palace wishes you a hundred years of good luck and old age. ”

Kangning took out a brocade box and opened it, and the two jade butterflies inside were delicate and exquisite, obviously extraordinary; Song Nan stretched out his hand to take it, thanked him in a low voice, and then was speechless.

Kang Ning smiled, waved his hand and ordered the two palace maids around him to go out, got up and walked in front of Song Nan, stretched out his hand to touch Song Nan's face and said, "Song Nan, do you remember what you said to this palace?" ”

Song Nan said: "I remember." ”

Kang Ning said: "Today's wedding day, this palace shouldn't say this, but this palace feels very uncomfortable, if you hadn't given me hope that day, I would have already returned to the underworld, I think it's better to go, and there is less suffering." ”

Song Nan hurriedly said: "Princess, don't think about it, I will definitely try my best to do it." ”

"How do you do that?" You are married to the lord of Shuyi, can you still divorce her? I actually know in my heart that this matter is going to be difficult, but I just can't let you go, and I can't bear to see you from now on, it's really sad. ”

Song Nan was speechless, he didn't want Kang Ning to die because of his feelings, so he only made empty promises, but he didn't know how to complete this promise, which was the difficulty of the whole thing; But in any case, one thing Song Nan is clear, that is, no matter what, Kang Ning must not be allowed to regenerate the idea of suicide.

"You haven't been to Shouning Palace for a while, and today I took the opportunity to congratulate you, and I came to see you by the way, you are still well, I am relieved; You look a lot thinner. Zhu Xiufu held Song Nan's face and looked at it.

Song Nan looked at Kang Ning's pretty face, and was both embarrassed and moved in his heart, he was newly married today, but he was sticky here with Kang Ning, if the little county lord knew, he was afraid that the gas hole of the anger would be smoking, but Kang Ning was as tender as water, how could he refuse.

"I heard you've been having a rough time lately, haven't you?" Corning asked in a low voice.

Song Nan was stunned and said, "How do you know." ”

Kangning said: "I'm not a dead person, how can I not know this; It's just a little big in the palace, what do I don't know? Besides, Liu Jin has said bad things about you in front of the emperor several times, and I have heard it with my own ears, is the emperor annoyed with you. ”

Song Nan shook his head and said: "No, the emperor is very good to me, and today the emperor also sent a congratulatory plaque." ”

Corning said softly, "I can see that although I don't know much about these things, I'm not blind or deaf; Sue me, is there anything I can do to help you? ”

Song Nan shook his head and said, "No, I can handle it myself." ”

Kang Ning frowned and looked at Song Nan and said, "Are you afraid of people gossiping?" Aren't you good friends with the emperor? What the hell is going on. ”

Song Nan shook his head resolutely and said, "The princess must not be involved, I will deal with these things." ”

Kang Ning sighed and nodded: "Okay, I can't participate in official affairs, if I speak, it seems that it will hurt your man's ambition, I don't interfere indiscriminately; Today is your big day, and I can't dominate you, otherwise Lord Shuyi is afraid that he will be jealous, I'm leaving, take the time to go to Shouning Palace to see me, okay? ”

Song Nan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll definitely go." ”

Kang Ning smiled, leaned over and hooked Song Nan's neck, looked at Song Nan's eyes and said softly, "Take care." ”

Song Nan knew what he meant, leaned over and kissed her on the lips, Kang Ning let go of Song Nan, turned around and went out, and there was a shout of 'the princess driving back to the palace' outside, and suddenly there was a lot of noise, and everyone in the Song family and the guests who stayed knelt down to send Princess Kang Ning away.
