Looking at such a grand and grand celebration scene, many Beijing officials who participated in the banquet couldn't help but show envy and yearning on their faces.
"In this way, it seems that Cheng Guogong's fortune is really unstoppable, even the maidservant son who has not entered the genealogy is a unicorn who can learn from high school."
"Not only Huiyuan, Shen Yichen is still Xie Yuan and Xiao Sanyuan, and if you go one step further, there may be a champion, how do you say this luck can be stopped?"
"The six heads gathered, with the blessing of this fortune, I am afraid that the Duke of Chengguo will have to impact our position as the first duke of the Ming Dynasty."
"So if you want the family to prosper, you have to look at the ability of your children and grandchildren, and you really envy others."
The envious words of the officials present more or less reached the ears of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo.
At this time, his face was flushed and his heart was full of joy, and he did not refuse to come in the face of the guests' toasts, Shen Yichen's meeting yuan today was too face-saving!
The Manchu Dynasty Emperor Qi Wenwu, except for my Chengguo Mansion, who can replicate such highlight moments?
Who else!
The women's table in the back house, when the news of Shen Yichen's high school meeting passed, it also caused a wave of exclamation.
"The slave family knows that Shen Gongzi is a Wenqu star, and now it has come true."
"Eighteen-year-old Hui Yuanlang, my Ming Dynasty is unprecedented, how amazing will I achieve in the future?"
"Shen Gongzi is young and talented, and he is a new branch in high school, I don't know which sister's wishful husband I can be."
As soon as they heard the word "Ruyi Langjun", many unmarried official ladies at the scene immediately felt shyness between their eyebrows.
You must know that even if you are the daughter of a prince, it is not easy to marry a high-quality gentleman. In most cases, they will fall victim to political marriages, and lifelong happiness is not guaranteed.
Now that Shen Yichen is so talented, and the new science and technology Huiyuan who wants to be good-looking is in front of him, if the official ladies want to say that they have no idea in their hearts, they are deceiving themselves.
It's just that due to the ancient etiquette, they have no way to express their inner expectations, and can only hope that their parents can seize the opportunity to find a good son-in-law like Shen Yichen for themselves.
"Sister Qingtong, I heard that you went to school in Ying Tianchengguo's mansion when you were a child, isn't that a childhood sweetheart with Shen Gongzi?"
An official lady saw that Chen Qingtong was always snickering happily, so she opened her mouth to ask her.
"Huh? Barely counted......"
Chen Qingtong hurriedly replied, trying his best to hide the joy in his heart.
Because Shen Yichen will be in high school, it means that he is one step closer to gaining his father's approval, and he is also one step closer to being with him, how can Chen Qingtong not be happy?
"Then how did Shen Gongzi behave when he was a child, was he talented?"
"It is rumored that Wenqu Xing has been out of phase when he comes to the world, have you seen Sister Qingtong?"
"Sister Qingtong, Shen Gongzi is so good that he has a sweetheart, can you help the sisters find out a thing or two?"
The ladies of the official family who went to the banquet immediately gathered around when they heard that Chen Qingtong and Shen Yichen knew each other, wanting to know more about him.
Faced with this situation, Chen Qingtong was a little overwhelmed, so he could only say perfunctorily: "Ying Tianchengguo's Mansion is divided into inner and outer courtyards, and I don't have much contact with Shen Gongzi, so I can't answer the questions of your sisters." ”
Hearing this, many official ladies showed a look of disappointment on their faces, wanting to understand Shen Yichen, why is it so difficult?
Compared with the yearning and curiosity of the ladies of the official family, the Duchess of Chengguo, Lin, at this time, her face was gloomy and almost dripping!
Today, she was looking forward to her son's "double happiness", showing off in front of the civil and military officials who went to the banquet, so that the world could understand that Zhu Ji, the second son of the Chengguo Mansion, was not inferior to the eldest son Zhu Yi, and also had the ability to inherit the position of duke.
As a result, the Lin family never expected that all the attention, appreciation, and recognition were all snatched away by Shen Yichen, the servant son, and his son was not even a supporting role, and he was completely reduced to a clown who fell off the list!
How can Lin accept this situation?
Originally, the Lin family was mad with jealousy, but Mrs. Yongkang Hou beside her didn't realize this problem at all, and said with a flattering smile: "Mrs. Zhu, the high school meeting of Shen Gongzi in your mansion is really the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the little girl is also waiting to be married in her twenty-eighth year, and the more she looks at it, the more suitable it is." ”
"It just so happens that the little girl is loved by Mrs. Zhu, so it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, or ask a matchmaker to match the birthdays of both parties and see if it is a match made in heaven?"
Previously, the Lin family proposed the idea of marriage, but Mrs. Yongkang Hou's willingness to agree to the marriage was not very high, mainly because she disliked the humble background of Shen Yichen's maid and maid.
But at this moment and that time, who would have expected that Shen Yichen would not only win the Jinshi, but also be the top Huiyuan?
The eighteen-year-old young Hui Yuanlang, even if he does not have the background of the Chengguo Mansion behind him, his future future is immeasurable. For example, Mrs. Yongkang Hou has not grasped this kind of potential stock, and her IQ has basically said goodbye to being mixed in the circle of noblewomen.
The Lin family was in a moment of distraction, how could she still be in the mood to help Shen Yichen consider any marriage, coupled with the fact that the other party's snobbery was too obvious, she was disgusted in her heart and was subconsciously ready to refuse.
But when the words came to his mouth, the Lin family suddenly came back to his senses, Shen Yichen is not his own son, and he has to help him consider the virtues of his family?
As an "enemy", I wish Shen Yichen's in-laws were stingy, and it was best to make trouble in the house, so that he could solve the hatred in his heart!
net
Thinking about this, Lin squeezed out a smile on his face and responded: "What Mrs. Xu said is even true, I will order someone to find a matchmaker to come over and make this marriage contract first." ”
"That's great, hahaha."
The two ladies talked about the joy and smile, but one of them was really happy, and the other was not smiling.
After three rounds of wine in the front hall, it was time for the wedding banquet to come to an end.
Zhu Ji was already drunk and unconscious, and was carried into the cave room, as for whether he was drunk or drunk, it is estimated that only he knows in his heart.
In addition to Zhu Ji, people like He Pingyan, Sun Shaozong and others were also carried out of the mansion.
Especially He Pingyan, he always looks young and old in front of everyone, and he pays attention to joy and anger. Today, others couldn't persuade him, so he left the scene drunk, and it was obvious that he couldn't release the depression in his heart.
After all, the township test was pressed by Shen Yichen, and now the meeting test has been pressed, this kind of fate of the second thousand-year-old child, how can He Pingyan accept his fate with his arrogance?
As the guests said goodbye one after another, soon there were only a few tables left in the front hall, and the ladies of the back house also walked out, ready to leave the house together.
The Lin family walked hand in hand with Mrs. Yongkang Hou at this moment, looking extremely affectionate. I saw that after she came to the front hall, she stood next to Zhu Yong, the drunken and hazy Duke of Chengguo, and whispered: "Grandpa, the concubine was in the back house just now, and helped Yichen get married for a while, and found that he and the daughter of Yongkang Hou were a good match made in heaven. ”
"So the concubine made her own decision and invited a matchmaker to come over, grandpa, do you think you can be more happy, why don't you make a marriage with Yongkang Hou today?"
Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong drank a little too much, and his thinking had become very slow at this time.
After listening to Lin's words, he didn't realize the problem at all, and he didn't even react to what it was, and replied with a mouthful of wine: "Do you mean to marry Yongkang Hou?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the front hall, which was originally a little noisy, instantly quieted down. The honorable relatives and important ministers present all looked at Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and Xu An, the Marquis of Yongkang, with unexpected eyes, and the marriage between these two families was too sudden.
Chen Ying, the Marquis of Taining, who was also drunk with Zhu Yong at the same table, was slightly drunk, but at this moment the wine woke up and looked at Shen Yichen with an incredible look.
He didn't know if this matter was Cheng Guogong's idea, or if it was with Shen Yichen's consent. If it is the former, then there is nothing to say about the parents' orders, if it is the latter, then Chen Ying will be too disappointed!
You must know that at the sacrificial ceremony that day, Chen Ying had already given Shen Yichen a chance, which was a great concession for the respect of the marquis.
Could it be that Shen Yichen doesn't even have this patience, so he can't wait to marry the princely family and pave the way for his future career?
Chen Qingtong on the other side originally came out of the back house, thinking that he could look at Shen Yichen twice more and relieve his lovesickness.
As a result, the first sentence I heard when I came to the front hall was that Cheng Guogong said that he wanted to marry Yongkang Hou.
Now that the eldest son of the Chengguo Mansion has already married a family, and the wedding banquet of the second prince has not ended, then this so-called marriage is naturally only Shen Yichen left.
Chen Qingtong couldn't have imagined that the Shen Yichen High School Jinshi he was looking forward to would be recognized by his father and become his sweetheart and become someone else's wishful husband!
Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day for Chen Qingtong, and the tears of the bean could no longer be controlled. The so-called "Baochai together, lovers will meet again" oath is just a joke after all.
After a short period of shock, some ministers who had drunk less and reacted more quickly began to congratulate Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo.
"Congratulations, grandfather, it seems that today is the third joy."
"The time for the title of the gold list has arrived, and soon you will be able to drink another night wine of the cave house."
"The talented woman is really a good match, congratulations."
"Yongkang Hou is really like a torch, and the pearl of Huiyuanlang has not escaped your eyes."
Listening to everyone's congratulations, Yongkang Hou Xu An was actually in a state of confusion. After all, Zhu Yong, the prince of Chengguo, also heard a passage from the Lin family, and he didn't even know what happened, so someone celebrated his happy son-in-law.
Huiyuan Shen Yichen is my son-in-law?
Yongkang Hou, who came back to his senses, suddenly realized that this matter seemed to be quite good.
Needless to say, Shen Yichen's talent is the best proof of his fame, and his appearance can also be called Yushu Linfeng, with a dignified appearance, and he did not treat his daughter badly.
Coupled with the act of leading all the scholars to knock on the grievances, there is a vague demeanor of a young literati leader in Beijing, how can you see that it is not a loss to be able to pick up such a son-in-law for nothing.
Just when the Marquis of Yongkang was about to accept it, Shen Yichen, who had been silent, suddenly walked in front of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and bowed his hand.
"Junior, thank you grandfather for being the master and marrying Taining Hou!"
Originally, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, said that he was married to the Marquis of Yongkang, which was sudden enough for the important ministers present.
They never thought that there would be another play in this play, and Shen Yichen thanked Chengguo for being the master and marquis of Taining?
Did you drink too much and didn't hear clearly, or did you have a problem with your ears, was it Taining Hou that Cheng Guogong said just now?
"What did Cheng Guogong say about Yongkang Hou or Taining Hou, how does it feel wrong."
"I sound like Yongkang Hou, who are you listening to?"
"I also sound like Yongkang Hou, why did Shen Yichen say Taining Hou?"
"How do you feel that it is Tai Ninghou who heard it in the next place, am I the one who heard it wrong?"
"I also sound like Taining Hou, even if we hear it wrong, Shen Yichen himself can't be mistaken, right?"
Many honorable relatives and important ministers felt as if they were caught in a Rashomon at this moment, and for a while they were not sure whether Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, was talking about the Marquis of Yongkang or the Marquis of Taining.
Moreover, Shen Yichen spoke so righteously, and his expression was extremely solemn, and he didn't look like he would make a mistake.
When Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, heard Shen Yichen's words of thanks, he also realized the problem, and instantly sobered up most of the time. Today, the honorable relatives and important ministers are all present to watch, if it is not handled well, it will offend the two marquises, which is not a trivial matter.
Although I drank a lot, I was not completely conscious. But Zhu Yong was sure that what she heard from the Lin family was right, she said that she would be engaged to marry Yongkang Hou today, not Taining Hou.
Then why did Shen Yichen thank Taining Hou, did he hear it wrong?
With such thoughts, Zhu Yong looked at Shen Yichen's gaze, just one glance, and the tacit understanding formed over a long period of time made him understand that Shen Yichen had not heard it wrong, this kid was deliberately talking about Taining Hou.
At the same time, the afterglow of Zhu Yong's eyes made him see Chen Qingtong who was in tears, and he completely understood it at this moment.
It turned out that Shen Yichen and Qingtong had already belonged to each other, and deliberately saying the wrong thing was to "force the palace" to herself!
That's right, Shen Yichen is "forcing the palace"!
To be honest, when he heard Zhu Yong say that he wanted to marry Yongkang Hou, Shen Yichen was no less affected than anyone else, and the whole person was stunned.
In ancient times, marriage events focused on the words of a parent's order matchmaker, once the elders made a decision, you were unwilling in every way, and the protests were invalid and must be implemented.
In addition, Shen Yichen also knows Zhu Yong's strong personality very well, and said it in front of everyone, it is almost impossible for you to want him to take it back. On the contrary, the more openly he resists, the tougher Zhu Yong will become, and finally to an irreparable situation.
Under the urgency of the situation, Shen Yichen thought of this trick of "pointing the deer as a horse", anyway, no matter what others heard, what he heard was Taining Hou.
And as long as Zhu Yong also admits that he is talking about Taining Hou, then it doesn't matter who the original marriage is, if it is not Taining Hou, it will become Taining Hou!
"Marriage is a big event, the younger generation is grateful to the grandfather for being the master and marrying Taining Hou!"
In the face of Zhu Yong's hesitation, Shen Yichen bowed again, and emphasized the three words Taininghou.
Things have come to this point, and he still has no way out, and he can't live up to Chen Qingtong no matter what.
Seeing Shen Yichen's determined expression, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, sighed heavily, he was tough for half his life, but he didn't expect that in the end, he constantly chose compromise and indulgence in this servant son.
Now even the marriage of his parents' orders is left to him to decide.
"Taining Hou, Qingtong and Yichen childhood sweethearts, grew up together since childhood. Now that our children have grown up, why don't we kiss each other and make a marriage on today's happy day? ”
When Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, said this, it meant that the dust had settled on the previous controversy, and the object of marriage was Taining Hou.
Yongkang Hou is better, he was already in a state of confusion of sudden attack, and now that Cheng Guogong wants to marry Taining Hou, he has a feeling that he is not mistaken.
But the Lin family and Mrs. Yongkang Hou did not have this kind of confusion and doubt, they really agreed in the back house, and even the eight characters of the birthday were already married, and now tell her that she got the wrong person?
Especially the Lin family, her whole face was red and white, she began to blow the pillow wind to Zhu Yong last year, just to destroy the marriage between Shen Yichen and Chen Qingtong, and prevent him from getting a powerful help like Chen Ying, Marquis of Taining.
Now that they have all succeeded, even Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, said that he wanted to marry Yongkang Hou, and he can still turn back to the starting point, could it be that Shen Yichen and Chen Qingtong are a godsend, and they can't be dismantled?
What made the Lin family feel even more unacceptable was that Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, was actually willing to cooperate with Shen Yichen, a servant child, and open his eyes and talk nonsense!
She understands Zhu Yong's amount of alcohol very well, it is not an exaggeration to say that a thousand cups are not drunk in the army for so many years, even if she drinks a little too much today, she will not even be able to distinguish between Yongkang Hou and Taining Hou.
And judging from Zhu Yong's last expression, he obviously knew that Shen Yichen was confusing the public, but he didn't expose it and continued to act.
I'm afraid that even Zhu Yi can't enjoy this treatment, how can he give birth to a son, and let the prince lie when he is a prince?
What Lin didn't know was that there were many things she couldn't accept in this world, and immediately Taininghou also staged it for her.
"Yichen I grew up watching, witty and intelligent since I was a child, honest and steady. Since Chengguo Gong has such an idea, Ben Hou also wants to be able to kiss and kiss, so let's give this family matter today. ”
Hearing this, Lin's figure staggered, and his mind was full of farts. Even I didn't watch Shen Yichen grow up, where did you Chen Ying watch him grow up?
And don't you regard Chen Qingtong as the pearl of your palm, and you don't marry the children of non-princes? Now that Shen Yichen doesn't even have an official body, it is impossible for him to take the position of the prince of the country in this life, and you are willing to let your only daughter marry if you have a son like this?
At this point, the ministers present estimated that it should be impossible for any more accidents, so they once again opened their mouths to congratulate.
It's just that in the face of these words of flattery and congratulations, Shen Yichen seemed to be deaf, and all his eyes at the moment were Chen Qingtong's shadow.
"Baochai is together, and lovers will eventually become married."
This is not a joke, but an oath that cannot be disappointed!
