Shen Ao went to the concierge and took a look at Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng was greeting Quartz and several other princes, only bowed to Shen Ao, and the two of them entertained guests separately, and they didn't even have a chance to talk.

Most of the people who come to congratulate are just going around, saying a few auspicious words and leaving, and some of them are deeply related, they will go in and sit down, drink a few sips of tea, and be busy until dusk, which will stop a little. Quartz and a few others are still sitting in the main hall, presumably planning to stay here today, and the Shanggaohou, Shanggaohou Wu Wu and Qiguo Mansion were not diligent in moving.

Speaking of which, this prince is not completely monolithic, it can be roughly divided into two groups, one belongs to the founding princes, the families of these founding princes are favored by the country, and on the surface they do not seem to continue the title, but often the court will have a good fortune, the old man is dead, although the son is decreasing, but after a few years, you only need to make a little merit, and you can be sealed, so these families are prosperous, plus they are quite influential in the army, and they are flourishing, which can be regarded as a force to be reckoned with in the court.

As for the second kind of princes, they are mostly relatives of the emperor, some of them are family members who have been queens, so they have been crowned titles, and some have made great contributions and given graces, such as this high marquis, that is, the empress dowager of the Zhezong Dynasty came from the Wu family, and then the Wu family married the princess as his wife, and then gave birth to Wu Wu, Wu Wu is a hardcore royal relative, so just became an adult, he first went to the border town to gild, and within a few years he was named a marquis.

Shen Ao naturally knew that this Wu Wu was grateful to him for relieving him last time, so he taught him to sit with Quartz and the others, and when all the guests were gone, he and Zhou Zheng returned to the main hall to greet the guests for tea.

Although this champion is festive, but at this time, Shen Ao only has one feeling, tired, so tired that he can't straighten his waist, as if there are countless things around him, and smiling faces revolve around him like a marquee, anyway, he can't remember who is who, and he accepts the congratulations one by one.

After taking a sip of tea and chatting with Quartz, Quartz said: "Shen Ao, now that you have won the champion, what do you think?" ”

Idea? No, Shen Ao's mind was messy, what else could he think, so he asked, "Please publicize it." ”

Quartz said with a smile: "The officials have already played the invitation, this year more than 200 jinshi are going to be appointed to official positions, you are the champion, naturally you want to find a good place, it is said that His Majesty means to ask you to go to Hangzhou, but it is a little undecided, because there is no real shortage in Hangzhou for the time being, but there is a lack of a county order of Wannian County in Xijing, Wannian County is a red county, and it is much better to go there than to go to Hangzhou." ”

Xijing is Chang'an, it is the direct government of the Great Song Dynasty, and the county seat is divided, a total of seven levels are red, Ji, Wang, tight, upper, middle and lower, generally the county governed by Kyoto is Chi County, the county next to Kyoto is Qi County, and the rest are divided into five levels according to the number of households, such as Wang, tight, upper, middle and lower, the officials of Chixian County are often promoted the fastest, and the grade is higher, because it is directly dealing with Jingzhaofu, so the boss is not the prefect, but directly with the Jingzhaofu of the three products, such as Wannian, It can be said that even if the children of some princes are admitted to the Jinshi, they may not be able to compete for it.

In the eyes of Quartz and Zhou Zheng, the first time they entered the office, they had to be as cautious as possible, Quartz said this to Shen Ao, and he had the meaning of running for Shen Ao, as long as Shen Ao nodded his head, the county order of Wannian County would be none other than Shen Ao.

Seeing that Shen Ao's expression did not move, Quartz thought to himself: "Could it be that this kid doesn't like to go to Xijing?" He glanced at Shen Ao up and down, and when he saw Shen Ao looking suave, he couldn't help laughing, thinking to himself, didn't he want to go to Hangzhou? Suzhou and Hangzhou are a place where literature and literature gather, there are many talented and beautiful people, and it is normal for young people to love to go there to join in the fun. After thinking about it, he said: "Actually, there are errands in Hangzhou, there is a Renhe county brother in the house, and there is a county lieutenant, if you want to go, you can also try." In fact, you are deeply favored, whether you go to Hangzhou or Xijing, you are just grinding, and you will enter the court after a few years or a year, you think about it yourself. ”

Shen Ao's mind is simple, he would rather be a county magistrate or county lieutenant than go to Chang'an to be a county magistrate, the official has to do everything, what does it mean to go to Xijing, there are more officials in Jingzhao Mansion than dogs, and people are older than the officials of the county order, and it is like being the governor of Jingzhao Mansion in Bianjing, on the surface, he is a third-grade official, but in fact, he is not even a fart, and he stons a person to death on the street, maybe he is a second- or third-grade official.

Rather than this, it's not to go to Hangzhou to have a good time, although it is farther away, the official is smaller, but there are not many officials, even if it is a county lieutenant, in the county is also a person who can speak, this is still secondary, Renhe County Shen Ao inquired, although it is not far from Hangzhou, but it is not close, you don't have to look at the face of the prefect of Hangzhou, besides, a prefect is better than a prefect, the prefect is not a big official, he came out of the Guogong Mansion, I am afraid that the prefect will not embarrass himself, and he will be chic in Hangzhou for a few years, Back in Bianjing, my buddy is a good man again.

I thought about it in my heart, and said with a straight face: "County duke, students still want to try it on their own, whether it is the county order, the county commander, the county lieutenant, or where the imperial court is going, it doesn't matter to the students." ”

On the surface, Quartz knew his thoughts, and said with a smile: "You have such ambition, naturally it is very good." ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "The top priority at the moment is to talk about it after getting married, and only after starting a family can we regain our hearts." ”

Quartz smiled: "The virtuous nephew marries four wives, I'm afraid that this Shilin has already caused criticism, but don't care about them, the mouth grows on them, and the virtuous nephew is happy." ”

This sentence said to Shen Ao's heart, and he said with a smile: "What the county prince said is right. ”

Quartz went to say a few words to the high marquis, the high marquis did not see him reckless, but he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the county prince, he was extremely respectful, and everyone had a meal in the Zhou Mansion, and then they dispersed.

…………………………………………………………………… Huang Daoji said that he had already chosen, the six gifts had been given, and the weddings he had planned were almost there, so he was waiting to come to his door to greet his relatives. Shen Ao said that Shen Ao's waist pole was straight, the Tang family and the Yang family sent people to discuss, Shen Ao insisted that he couldn't go door to door to greet relatives, grandma's, go to meet four relatives a day, it would take an hour or two to go back and forth, these four wives had not yet entered the door, and it was dark. He insisted that the bride would wait in one place, and then he would bring people over and take them all to the new house.

The two entrusted to talk about family affairs are naturally a little reluctant, in fact, they also know that this wife has to be greeted by door, but they are afraid that they will not be able to finish it in one day, but if they don't meet their relatives at home, they will inevitably break the rules.

After discussing for a long time, they couldn't find a way, and in the end, Mrs. made a decision, and first sent all the brides to the Qiguo Mansion, and Shen Ao welcomed them to the new mansion.

This is a compromise solution, and the Tang and Yang families will no longer say anything; The discussion is almost over, the new house has already been repaired, Shen Ao went to see it in person, it is not far from the Guogong Mansion, and it is only a time to walk with incense, covering a lot of land, but it is not as magnificent as the Guogong Mansion, the decorations inside are acceptable, neither fancy nor chic, the front hall is divided into the main hall, the side hall, the ear room, the study and a row of rooms in the corner. After the front hall, it is the back garden, it is the residence of the family, seven or eight attics are connected in the shade of the trees, guarding a garden, and a small stream is artificially built, the stream is murmuring, flowing from the garden and the pavilion, such a big house, Shen Ao's family is enough.

Shen Ao walked around the new house in a daze, and when he came out, his mind was still a little confused, how he saw it and didn't see it, buddy is going in now, if there is no one to guide the way, I am afraid that I will only get lost; After a lot of slander in my heart, I was happy again, and this was my home from now on.

There is already a porter and a rough maid in this house, and the cook and handyman are also personally selected by the lady, and they are still being cleaned, and they can move in directly when they come back from marriage.

In the early morning of the third day of the ninth lunar month, the air was filled with mist, and Shen Ao was pulled into the carriage early in the morning, and arrived at the new house drowsy, followed by bathing and changing clothes, Liu Sheng was waiting by the side, but nothing went wrong.

After a while, the musicians, the sedan chair, the bride price, and the accompaniment were all ready, and they stopped steadily outside.

In the evening, Zhou Heng and Wu Bi some close people also came over, just waiting for the groom to pick up the bride, Shen Ao came out with a new decoration, this groom's official clothes are somewhat similar to the official uniform, and the chest is still wearing a big red flower, a photo in the mirror, a little funny, and a little festive, he smiled happily at the bronze mirror, rolled up his sleeves, and said: "Liu Sheng, pick up your young grandmothers." ”

Liu Sheng immediately sang a fat song, and said, "Young master, these sleeves can't be rolled up...... By the way, and the fan, the fan ......"

Shen Ao stepped out of the gate of the new house, and there was a crowd of people outside, all of whom came to cheer, Zhou Hengda shouted: "People are coming, coming...... Quickly help the bridegroom to get on the horse. ”

A cadre of people rushed up and surrounded Shen Ao, where is this to help people get on the horse, it is clearly ...... Shen Ao shouted: "Robbery...... Do you still have a conscience, and even the bridegroom and the official will not give face? Hey, don't touch it, I don't have a copper plate on me......"

Finally squeezed through the crowd, turned over a snow-white high-headed horse, the drum music behind the sound of the back, the back of the four eight-carrying sedan chairs, as well as a variety of holding the edict, Jinshi and the first kind of red card of honor guards also followed all the way, and then there were some bride gifts, full four cars, both of which were following some of the best friends of the family, there were classmates, friends of the front division of the palace, and a few scribes who met in the elegant mountain house, everyone followed Shen Ao with a smile and pointed their heads, not that his hat belt was crooked, That is, he was riding in the wrong position.

Shen Aocai ignored them, urged the white horse to sit down, and went all the way to the Qiguo Mansion, there were more guests in the Qiguo Mansion, not only that, but also extremely weird, there were forbidden army officers wearing Fan Yang hats, officials wearing scarlet and purple robes, and even fathers-in-law There were several, the Great Song Dynasty, regardless of the inner or outer dynasties, all the people who could come came.

The father-in-law is also festive, these are all here to shoot Yang Jian's ass, Yang Gonggong's daughter got married, the inner dynasty has already fallen out, one by one gritted his teeth to send happy money, ten, twenty, one hundred, there is no way to get out of the duty, some of the inappropriate value, so they have to ask Yang Jian for leave to leave the palace, Yang Jian is eager to be as lively as possible, naturally he is released.

Shen Ao turned over and dismounted, was immediately stopped, congratulated and commented on with a smile, and then he was willing to let Shen Ao in.

In fact, Shen Ao was ignorant of the marriage procedure, anyway, he was at the mercy of others, so he first went to the back compartment and invited four ladies dressed in red xia, one of them led four red silk and pulled the four ladies out, looking at the four slim and slim ladies dressed in red xia, Shen Ao was even more confused, which one is which, the buddies are confused, no matter, first pull back to their own house and then study.

Greeted the four beautiful ladies back to the new house, because Shen Ao had no parents, so Zhou Zheng and Mrs. Zhou did it for him, so Yang Jian also had to make fun, saying that Shen Ao had no father or mother anyway, and this high-ranking miscellaneous family had to do it. He was so foolish that Tang Yan was dissatisfied, and the dead eunuch took advantage of him, so he couldn't be cheap, so he simply joined in. It's that Chun'er's uncle and aunt didn't dare to say anything, but everyone else went, and they couldn't be left out in the cold, anyway, there wasn't much more.

Shen Ao pulled the four brides to the main hall, and after being instructed, he completed a few cumbersome procedures, Zhou Zheng, Mrs. Zhou, Yang Jian, Tang Yan, Mrs. Tang, and Na Chun'er's uncle and aunt lined up, which really scared Shen Ao, wow, there are so many high halls, why don't you usually think it is too much? My heart was a little empty, first I worshiped heaven and earth, and then I worshipped the high hall, and I worshipped until midnight before a set of rituals was finally completed, and then I went into the cave room.

Shen Ao had been looking forward to it for a long time, and without waiting for other people's prompts, he pulled four red silks and led the ladies away.
