172 Divine Decree (2-in-1)

"The champion is coming, the champion is coming!"

Looking at the mighty procession of welcoming relatives pacing, the people of Beijing waiting on both sides of the street, I don't know who shouted first.

"Other people's big weddings can only be called Xiao Dengke, and Shen Zhuangyuan's big wedding gift is no different from Da Dengke."

"That is, this side of the official title card, who in the world can match?"

As long as they are literate people, when they see Shen Yichen's gold-lettered official title plate along the way, they are all full of sighs and envy.

Other grooms, officials, and relatives wear a nine-grade green robe, and they have to "borrow", and wear a champion red robe, which is even more "transgression".

Only Shen Yichen can use it openly, and the etiquette specifications are not inferior to the title of the gold list.

The ladies and beauties of the high-rise buildings on both sides of the street looked at Shen Yichen who was riding on a tall horse, and their eyes also revealed all kinds of admiration and yearning.

The biggest expectation of an ancient woman's life may be to find a wishful and good king, and the successive champions are either dying and old, or have wives and concubines and children.

Like Shen Yichen, who only got married after three yuan and the second, it can be said that it was the first time in the Ming Dynasty!

"The daughter of the Marquis of Taining is really lucky, she can marry the Wenqu Star in the sky, and she is also a handsome young man."

"Sister, you're wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"The daughter of the Marquis of Taining Mansion is not only good luck, she also has good vision. Other families are waiting for the gold list to catch their son-in-law, but her family reached an in-law with Cheng Guogong on the day of the trial list. ”

"Without such a preemptive, there would be no marriage today."

As soon as these words came out, all the ladies and beauties on the high-rise buildings nodded one after another, and the potential stocks still had to be grasped.

The greeting procession went all the way and soon came to the vicinity of the Snow Pavilion. At this time, it was not yet the opening hours of the brothel of the Qinglou, so these Qinglou women took to the streets one after another, wanting to see the wedding of the famous Jingshi.

Qin Liushuang, as the Oiran of the Jingshi, stood in the center of a group of warblers and swallows, and this rare appearance also made countless people on both sides of the street look straight.

used to think that the so-called appearance of sinking fish and geese only existed in the pen and ink of literati and, but now I know that there are really such women in the world.

"Look, sisters, the bridegroom is here."

A crisp voice sounded, attracting everyone's sideways. I saw Shen Yichen riding on a tall horse, wearing hairpins and red flowers, and constantly bowing to the people on both sides of the road in return.

Qin Liushuang looked at Shen Yichen's radiant appearance, and couldn't help but think of the scene when they first met.

At that time, Shen Yichen didn't speak much, and compared with the group of sons and brothers in the Gongxing Society, he was so low-key and introverted. Who would have thought that at the end of the banquet, this young man, who was still unknown at the time, would be able to overwhelm Sun Zhong, the son of Changbo?

Now that I see Shen Yichen again, he is already a famous Jingshi, which is beyond people's reach.

Not only Qin Liushuang had such thoughts, but the several Qinglou women who accompanied the wine in the box that day all felt a little emotional.

Similarly, they also have regrets in their hearts, why didn't they be brave enough to win the favor of the champion?

Qin Huai Bayanliu, who is as famous as later generations, is just asking for a good home. With Shen Yichen's current achievements and fame, even if he is a concubine and a maidservant, he is always countless times stronger than if he has been falling into the dust.

Looking at Shen Yichen from far and near, one of them suddenly remembered that it seemed to be Liu Er who served Shen Yichen with the wine that day.

So he asked a girl in emerald green clothes: "Liu'er, you sat next to Shen Zhuangyuan that day, what about the others?" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the Qinglou women looked at Liu Er, wanting to learn a little lace news about Shen Yichen from her.

"The champion is a humble gentleman, and he is also very responsible, which makes people feel an inexplicable sense of security."

Liu Er couldn't help but think of the scene where she hugged Shen Yichen's arm tightly after the conflict that day.

Even if the situation is extremely critical, Shen Yichen can still comfort and protect himself with a smile when he can't protect himself.

See the truth in times of crisis, this is the man that women can rely on.

"Since Shen Gongzi is so good, why didn't you seize the opportunity?"

Hearing this, Liu Er smiled bitterly, at that time, Shen Yichen always treated each other politely, how could there be a chance to seize it?

Just like he walked in front of him in a heroic manner today, he is not a person all the way after all.

He Pingyan, who was in the welcoming team, saw the group of Qinglou women in Xueling Pavilion from a distance, especially Qin Liushuang standing in the crowd, which made him overjoyed.

Originally, he still thought that he could win the attention of beauties, but he never expected that this group of people had never left Shen Yichen from beginning to end, and they completely ignored themselves.

This scene made his proud self-esteem feel a little unacceptable.

Even if Shen Yichen is the protagonist of today's wedding, he has become someone else's husband after all, what else is there to see?

Are you completely overshadowed by his light now?

……

On the other hand, the Taining Marquis Mansion is also full of people at the moment, and countless people are preparing for the marriage in an orderly manner, and it is bound to let Chen Qingtong marry out in a beautiful manner.

In the boudoir in the backyard, Chen Qingtong has changed into a bright red wedding dress, and a noble lady is helping her to tie her hair in a bun, which is the most important ceremony before leaving the boudoir.

The green silk gradually turned into jade and scratched his head, and the hairpin had a prosperous dream of three thousand.

"Miss, you are so beautiful today, you will definitely dazzle Shen Gongzi!"

"No, I should call me uncle now."

The little maid Xue'er looked at Chen Qingtong's shadow in the mirror platform, and couldn't help but praise it.

At the same time, the lady who was combing the green silk also opened her mouth to bless: "The girl is really a good marriage, she has married the champion of the three yuan and the first, and she will be happy in the future, and the white head will not be separated." ”

Hearing this, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of Chen Qingtong's mouth: "I also believe that Brother Yichen will not fail me." ”

"That's right, it is said that my uncle is a literary star in the sky, and his character and knowledge are extraordinary. Miss, you don't know, how many official ladies outside are envious. ”

"Xue'er, before she got married, her elbow turned out. Why don't you say that your young lady has an extraordinary appearance and character, and how many officials and eunuchs outside can't ask for it? ”

Xue'er patted her head when she heard this, nodded and said, "Miss, what you said makes sense, you haven't passed the door yet, you can't please your uncle like this!" ”

But soon Xue'er muttered again: "But Miss, the outside does praise your uncle and envy you more......"

These words made Chen Qingtong angry and funny, but the joy that arose spontaneously in his heart could not be hidden, and the corners of his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

Seeing Chen Qingtong's appearance of looking forward to happiness like this, the noble lady who helped her comb her hair was infected with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

This noble lady is a specially selected "Quanfu person", and the standard is to be in good health and have a stable life. And the parents and in-laws are alive, the children are complete, and the husband and wife are harmonious, which can be described as indispensable.

In her hands, nearly ten women were sent out of the cabinet, and most of them were crying. Some can't bear to leave their parents and family, and some are worried about the future life of the couple, but Chen Qingtong is full of confidence and unique.

In fact, it's no wonder that the boudoir women are like this, after all, most brides in the Ming Dynasty don't even know what their husbands look like, let alone what their character is.

Suddenly, you have to entrust your lifelong happiness to a stranger, and it is normal to be nervous and hesitant.

After combing her hair in a bun, the lady picked up a hosta and said, "Girl, when this hosta is inserted into the bun, you will wear a phoenix crown and a xia veil and go out of the pavilion to marry another wife." ”

"For the rest of your life, you will be virtuous and virtuous, husband and child, and grow old together."

Looking at the hosta in the bronze mirror, what Chen Qingtong thought of was another hairpin that she shared with Shen Yichen.

At the wedding banquet of the Chengguo Mansion that day, Yichen's brother withstood the pressure of countless relatives and important ministers, and forcibly asked the Chengguo Duke to propose to his father, fulfilling the promise of "Baochai He".

That's why, in the face of the blessing of the noble lady, Chen Qingtong will swear that he believes that Shen Yichen will not live up to his words.

Because only she knows in her heart what Shen Yichen has done for this wedding, which can be called a great disapproval of the world!

At this moment, firecrackers, gongs and drums rang out in unison, and Shen Yichen came to the door of the Marquis of Taining with a welcoming team.

There was a group of relatives of the woman's family standing at the gate of the Houfu, blocking the door and preparing to give Shen Yichen some problems to stop them.

For these obstacles, Shen Yichen can be said to have been prepared for a long time, otherwise what would he be doing with so many people today, watching the play?

Li Da and other children of military generals in the outer courtyard of the school, all of them are strong and strong, from childhood to adulthood, not to mention that there are more than a dozen Fujian miners in the welcoming team, all of whom are strong men who are one in a hundred, how can the Chen clan who blocked the door be able to stop it?

Before Shen Yichen could speak, the gate of the Houfu was rushed open, and the brothers lined up in two teams, waiting for Shen Yichen to enter unimpeded.

Seeing this scene, Shen Yichen was really a little speechless, those who knew understood that they were coming to greet their relatives, and those who didn't know thought they were coming to rob their relatives, and this group of goods was too simple and rude......

Entering the Taining Marquis Mansion, Shen Yichen, under the guidance of the officiant, went to the Chen ancestral hall to worship the ancestors. On the other side, Chen Qingtong, accompanied by Yinli, went to the lobby of the Taining Hou Mansion to bid farewell to his parents.

At this time, above the high hall of the public mansion, only Chen Ying, Marquis of Taining, was alone. Since the death of Chen Qingtong's mother, Chen Ying, Marquis of Taining, has not continued to play in these years, and the position of the marquise has become vacant.

Seeing the phoenix crown and the daughter wearing a big red hijab appear in front of him, Chen Ying had mixed feelings in his heart for a while, both happy and sad.

After Shen Yichen finished worshipping the Chen ancestral hall, he also came to the lobby of the Houfu and wanted to hand tea to Chen Ying, Hou of Taining, with Chen Qingtong.

After drinking the tea, Chen Ying asked the newcomer: "In the future, the two of you should respect and love each other, love each other, and spend time together." ”

"Son-in-law understands."

"My daughter understands."

After the official words were finished, Chen Ying stood up and walked to Chen Qingtong's side.

"Qingtong, if you get married and leave home this time, your father will no longer be able to accompany you. In the future, you must remember to honor your in-laws, discuss with your husband, and take care of yourself more. ”

When he said the back, Chen Ying's eyes were filled with tears, and his tone was choked.

Although he was covered with a red hijab and couldn't see the expression on his father's face, from this choked tone, Chen Qingtong could also understand his emotions at the moment.

"Daddy, don't worry, my daughter will be fine, and she will be fine."

Chen Qingtong's tears dripped down from the hijab, and dark tears were smeared on the red wedding dress.

"Okay, okay."

Taining Hou Chen Ying wiped away a handful of tears, then looked at Shen Yichen and said: "Qingtong, this girl, has not been accompanied by her mother since she was a child, and Ben Hou has also been fighting outside all the year round, and many times she wants to find someone to rely on and confide in. ”

"Xiangbei, from now on you are her reliance, Ben Hou is such a daughter, don't bear her!"

Looking at the tearful appearance of Taining Hou Chen Ying, Shen Yichen suddenly understood why he had never accepted himself before, and his standards for his son-in-law were so high.

can only say that he pities the hearts of parents in the world, and Chen Ying, Marquis of Taining, is doing his best to find a husband who can be relied on for Chen Qingtong for life.

"Rest assured, my son-in-law will never live up to the trust!"

"Go, go."

Taining Hou Chen Ying waved his hand, and then turned his back, he no longer had the courage to see his daughter go out with his own eyes.

After Shen Yichen and Chen Qingtong saluted, they turned around and walked outside the house. Out of this door, Chen Qingtong is no longer the daughter of the Chen family, but the wife of the Shen family.

Eight sedan chairs to drive, compared with the previous team that went to the Taining Hou Mansion to welcome relatives, the team that picked up the relatives and returned at this time was even more vast and huge.

The reason is that the Taining Marquis Mansion prepared a rich dowry for Chen Qingtong, which is as much as one hundred and eighty lifts, stretching for several kilometers, and it is completely impossible to see at a glance.

It can be described as a real phoenix crown and a red makeup!

The scene of this return trip made the people of Beijing boiling, I had just heard that the only daughter of the Hou of Taining was the pearl in the palm of her hand, and the Hou Ye cherished it very much, and she would not marry easily.

Now that the rumors have confirmed, just the marriage of these ten miles of red makeup, I'm afraid that with the foundation of the Houfu, it is estimated that it will be almost empty, right?

It is worthy of the marriage of a wealthy family, and this scene is simply the best in the world!

In the Chengguo Mansion, Zhu Yong and Shen were sitting on the high hall, waiting for the newcomers to enter the door and bow three times.

From the moment Shen Yichen went out to greet her relatives in the morning, Shen's heart was beating non-stop, and she couldn't believe that she could sit on the main seat with her grandfather, waiting for the newlyweds to salute.

You must know that the mother-in-law is respected, and the biological mother can only sit on the side to watch the ceremony.

But the reality just happened, and even Cheng Guogong had no objection and chose to accept it gladly.

The Shen family couldn't imagine what had happened between his son Shen Yichen and his grandfather during this time, and the relationship would become so weird.

You say intimate, so far even the genealogy has not been entered, and the two fathers and sons have not communicated any time on weekdays.

Let's talk about strange estrangement, the two fathers and sons can always reach a tacit understanding at critical moments, and the grandfather's requirements for Shen Yichen can be described as conniving, not at all like the real rustiness in Ying Tianfu in the past.

With this doubt, Shen heard the voice of the master of ceremonies outside the house: "The newcomer enters and bows three times!" ”

I saw that at this time, Shen Yichen led Chen Qingtong to the lobby of the mansion to worship heaven and earth, parents, and husband and wife.

After the salute, Shen Yichen and Chen Qingtong saluted their parents with tea, looking at their son and daughter-in-law in front of them, Shen's tears couldn't help but burst out of their eyes, but this time they were moved to cry with joy.

Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong took the tea with a smile on his face, but his heart was mixed.

After the wedding, Shen Yichen will move out of the mansion, and I don't know how the relationship between father and son will get along in the future.

Zhu Yong once carried the heavy responsibility of the entire family on his shoulders, and wanted to maintain the development of the entire family through the method of "one glory and one loss".

Now this most talented son, but he has no way to understand his own hardships, let alone understand the difficulties of shouldering the rise and fall of the family, I don't know if it is a kind of sadness?

After worshipping the hall, Chen Qingtong was sent into the cave room by the lipo, and as for Shen Yichen, he hadn't entered so quickly.

The evening feast is the real wedding feast!

As night fell, at this time, the Chengguo Mansion was full of ministers of civil and military affairs of the imperial court, and flowing water seats were set up along the street outside the mansion. As long as you pass by and are willing to send a blessing, you can sit down and enjoy the wedding banquet together.

Shen Yichen, as the groom's official at this moment, began to toast table by table. The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are all okay, and if they politely say a few words of blessing, it will be considered the past.

What is really difficult is the group of brothers in the outer courtyard school, as well as the strong miners from Fujian, which is really a huge one.

After drinking it in a circle, Shen Yichen's hand holding the wine glass trembled.

Compared with the high friends of the banquet in the front hall, in the courtyard of the Lin family in the back hall, Zhu Ji walked in with an unhappy face.

"Mother, my grandfather is too partial, I also married the daughter of the marquis, and I am still a son-in-law. Why is his Shen Yichen's wedding banquet one block higher than me, and almost all the ministers of the court and the central government are present! ”

Originally, the Lin family was angry in their hearts because of the problem of worshipping the church, and when they heard Zhu Ji say this, they were even more angry.

The one who split his head and covered his face scolded: "It's not that you know how to eat, drink and have fun on weekdays, and you can't even pass the Jinshi exam, what can you use to compare with Shen Yichen's three yuan and the first one?" ”

"Who in the officialdom is not a human spirit, don't you understand the truth of praising the high and stepping on the low? Today, if you are the champion of the Yichou family, will he be present at the wedding banquet of Shen Yichen's son who is a mere servant? ”

Zhu Ji still wanted to be able to seek justice with his mother and father-in-law, but he didn't expect to be scolded, which was too embarrassing.

So he replied with a stiff mouth: "Then mother, you haven't been crushed by that cheap maid, and now you can't even go to the hall, stay in this backyard, how can you still have a little momentum as a housewife!" ”

Hearing this, Lin was really furious, and when he got up, he slapped Zhu Ji with a "snap".

This slap also woke Zhu Ji up, and he hurriedly knelt down and admitted his mistake: "It's the son who said the wrong thing, and I hope my mother won't be angry!" ”

Zhu Ji thought that his mother would continue to reprimand him, but he saw Lin Shi show a sneer and said: "What you said is right, I am still the head of the house in this mansion, even if the cheap maid carries a concubine, why can she suppress me?" ”

Thinking of this, Lin didn't care about Zhu Ji, who was still kneeling on the ground, turned around and walked in the direction of the front hall.

Accepting the three salutes of the newlyweds is a decision made by the grandfather, and he has no way to disobey it. But the grandfather didn't say that at the big wedding banquet, he couldn't sit in the position of his mother-in-law, why did he avoid the Shen family?

Today, we should let the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee see who the lady of the Chengguo Justice Office is!

The Lin family could have endured the temporary humiliation, and pretended to be close to the Shen family in front of Cheng Guogong, so that he could do it in the future and would not be suspected.

As a result, Zhu Ji's wave of arch fire operations directly made the Lin family angry, and he could no longer maintain his sanity, and planned to declare the sovereignty of his main room.

Therefore, many times I am not afraid of God opponents, but I am afraid of pig teammates, but this pig teammate is still my own son.

In the front hall of the public mansion, Zhu Yong was chatting with the court's ministers and ministers, and it was a good feeling to be complimented by everyone.

Although Shen is the biological mother, she occupies the main position at today's wedding banquet. But the Shen family has never forgotten his origin, and he has not publicized himself in the circle of noblewomen attending the banquet, and has always sat on the seat without moving.

At this time, someone found that the Lin family was coming over with a few servant girls with great fanfare, and there was a feeling that the person who came was not good.

After this scene appeared, many relatives and important ministers probably guessed what was going on, after all, the complicated father-son relationship between Cheng Guogong and Shen Yichen can be said to be known to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. Now that a biological mother has been added, a good drama of family ethics has been staged.

It's just that they didn't expect that the drama might also start at the wedding banquet.

The appearance of the Lin family made the originally lively noise in the front hall much lower, and many people stood up and saluted her.

Soon, the Shen family at the main table also found that the Lin family was walking towards her, and she subconsciously stood up and prepared to give up her position.

But at this moment, Shen Yichen stretched out an arm, pulled his mother back to her seat, and shook her head gently.

"There's a good show to watch."

Sun Shaozong at the other table, after seeing this scene, immediately gloated and laughed.

As the son of a relative, he is not surprised by this kind of "wife and concubine competition for favor" in the inner courtyard.

Today, it is best to make a big drama in the Chengguo Mansion and make his family uneasy, otherwise this wedding banquet will be too psychologically unbalanced.

Why can Shen Yichen be famous, career, and marriage, God is really unfair!

"Really?"

He Pingyan was not very familiar with this kind of inner house battle, he didn't care too much about the appearance of the Lin family, and he couldn't imagine what would happen next.

As for Yang Hongze, he was hostile to Shen Yichen, and he didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of bad thing in the backyard.

The husband walks between heaven and earth, and when the family and the country are the most important, what is the matter with the dispute between women?

Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong's face became solemn, he knew what the Lin family, who had been married for many years, wanted to do at this time. It's just that now that the court's lords and important ministers are all present, no matter what the Lin family says, she also has the status of the main room, and it is reasonable for her to participate in the wedding banquet of the concubine, and she can't stop it.

The only thing to worry about is that Lin don't make the scene too ugly.

Just when everyone's eyes were on Lin, guessing what kind of good show would be staged next. But a group of palace people walked in from outside the mansion, and the eunuch led by him also carried a yellow Luo cover umbrella on his head and a bright yellow scroll in his hand.

The appearance of this posture is undoubtedly the arrival of the Holy Decree!

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

The eunuch came to the center of the front hall, and regardless of everyone's reaction, he shouted directly.

Seeing that the holy decree is coming, and there is still a yellow Luo cover umbrella, there must be an important will.

So all the guests in the audience didn't care about the Lin family, and they knelt down to receive the order, and the people of the Chengguo Mansion also brought the table to receive the order.

"Greetings to St. Ann!"

As the audience kowtowed to welcome the decree, the eunuch slowly rolled up the holy decree and announced the decree.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Etiquette starts from righteousness, and filial piety is governed in the humble room; The life comes from Tianshen, and Ben Rong is given to the family. The Hanlin Academy revised Shen Yichen's mother, Shen, Demao Lanyi, virtuous and virtuous, Ju Zi is successful, and the tree is good in the trunk. Zier Kexiang Wang Shi, Jin Fenger is too pleasant for the five products, in the play! Zhaozi orders the voice of goodness, and the glory is not replaced; The reward of food and hard work, the celebration is long. May 16, 10th year of Orthodoxy. ”

When the decree was read out, the audience was shocked. The concubine was given a decree, and it was beyond the rank of the son, and it was too pleasant to be crowned as a fifth-grade, how did the emperor agree to this kind of will?

Mother Shen was also stunned at the moment, she had always positioned her identity on the slave maid, so she took the initiative to avoid it when she saw Lin.

Even if her son Shen Yichen is now three yuan and the first, she never thought that her class as a maid and concubine could change.

Now that this holy decree has been issued, she has been named the lady of the imperial court's five-grade edict, which means that she has an "official body" from now on and is completely out of her lowly status.

This kind of transformation is like a literati who has been selected for a show of talent, and can be promoted to the rank of a scholar without kneeling in the face of officials. Even if the Lin family is the main wife, she no longer has the right to dispose of the concubines who have the status of the edict at will, and has obtained the real equality of personality.

At this time, the Lin family sat directly on the ground with a pale face, she came to the front hall to demonstrate and declare "sovereignty", but she heard the holy decree that the Shen family was named the lady of the command, like a thunderbolt from the sky!

The Shen family is a cheap maid, how can He De be enshrined by the emperor, can Shen Yichen now be an official in the court?

This holy decree shattered the Lin family's greatest psychological advantage over the Shen family.

From then on, there was no more respect and humility of maids and concubines, but the same fate, only the rank and rank!

And what Lin didn't expect was that the seal was only the first holy decree, and the official who passed the decree also carried the second holy decree.

It was this holy decree that made Lin Shi feel that his eyes were dark, and he couldn't even maintain a paralyzed sitting posture.
