Chapter 7: The Divine Decree Arrives
On the second day, when she returned home, she saw a man boxing in a large open space specially carved out of the house.
The corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she jumped up to the open space, then pulled out the nine-section whip with a copper handle and silver chain on her waist, and shouted, "Third brother, put on the weapon." ”
Hearing this, the man pulled out the long stick on the weapon rack, turned around and slashed, and suddenly dust flew from where the stick landed.
"Third brother, two things should be a good thing and a bad thing for you, do you want to hear that one first?" Before the dust cleared, she looked at the place where the wooden stick landed, threw out a nine-section whip, and wanted to sweep the wooden stick away.
The third brother looked at the move, leaned back, but the wooden stick did not move, the nine-section whip successfully rolled the wooden stick, the third brother was about to exert force, rolled the wooden stick over, and then laughed at his third brother, he didn't want the third brother to stick to the plate, his arms were hard, and he shook the wooden stick, the nine-section whip was like a tangled hair for a while, and he couldn't untie it, and he couldn't abandon it.
"Lost, lost." She pouted and frowned.
She wanted to get her whip back, but the third brother turned sideways and let her pounce in the air.
Yan Yan was unwilling to stomp her feet, Lai chirped and said, "First of all, you must have heard that a Li Neiguan went to the general's house yesterday to celebrate Gan Tang's birthday, and he said that the queen mother wants to marry Gan Tang and His Royal Highness the Prince, and Gan Tang may not be able to marry that prince...... That dog official was really annoying, and it made Gan Tang sad all night on his birthday, but don't worry, third brother, I already taught him a lesson last night. "Speaking of this, I am quite happy to have a concubine and honor.
Yan Yan was happy when she thought of Neiguan Li covering her arms and rubbing her buttocks last night, screaming in pain in confusion, but seeing that her third brother had already put away her nine-section whip, and seeing that she would not return her, she said hurriedly, "The second thing, the general doesn't want Gan Tang to be the little wife of His Royal Highness the Prince....... Why is it a little wife, Gan Tang told me that the crown princess of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will only be from the Chen family and the Jin family, even if there are no school-age daughters in these two families now...... Now the general wants to marry Gan Tang before the marriage decree comes, and Gan Tang said that whoever he chooses can ......"
Don't say the rest of the words, the third brother also understood, when the third brother and Gan Tang expressed their desire to marry, Gan Tang had already made the reason for his refusal clear.
She said, Third Brother Yun, I have someone in my heart, you know, if we don't know each other, I will marry you, if you don't like me, I can also marry you, I don't want to destroy the friendship with you and your concubine, you are different in my heart.
It's always been that he is unwilling to give up!
For this reason, the general also transferred him to the Liangzi garrison to avoid Lu Xun's time in Xichuan.
"Third brother, when I go home, Gan Tang asked me to tell you that there are few willows blowing on the branches, and there is no grass at the end of the world."
Chang Yan, who is only in her early tens, actually doesn't understand her third brother's persistence, and she doesn't understand the reason why Gan Tang doesn't ask her third brother for help when she encounters an imminent matter, but seeing Gan Tang frowning for that Lu Shizi, and her third brother thinking a lot for Gan Tang, she is also in a low mood.
Love is so devastating, why do you have to jump into the pit?
Thinking about it, she shook her head violently, what do she want to do now, it is better to worry about her assessment results in the women's barracks.
She took back her whip, and walked to her yard in a complicated mood.
After a period of time, Yan Yan returned to the women's barracks and continued to participate in the qualification screening assessment for entering the camp, but during this time, the third lady rarely appeared in the women's barracks.
And Gan Tang, Gan Tang quietly told her that her grandfather had found her a suitable family and planned to complete the six ceremonies in a low-key manner.
Because Li Neiguan is still in Xichuan, the marriage discussion of Gantang is really quiet, and the candidate was decided in early April, but only a small number of people know who the other party is.
At the same time, Gan Tang's third aunt, Mrs. Chen, who enjoyed the dignity of the princess when she got married, is also making small moves for Gan Tang's freedom and the Bian family's soft resistance to the queen's marriage decree to His Majesty.
In the middle of April, Li Neiguan, who was particularly eye-catching in Xichuan, received a message from the queen and left Xichuan in a hurry.
After Li Neiguan left Xichuan, Gan Tang's marriage was also publicized, but there were only some.
Gan Tang is not willing to get married, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that she regrets it now, and she always can't help but think that she was not attached at the beginning, and she was not moved by Lu Xun's concern for her for many years, and she would not be in a dilemma today.
My grandmother looked at Gan Tang and had even fewer smiles on her face since she learned that she had made a marriage with someone, and she felt pain in her eyes and heart, and she regretted that she had sent someone to Yan Long to inquire about Lu Xun's situation.
But things have come to this point, and I can only sigh that it is fate.
……
Recently, Gan Tang has been embroidering purses to make shoes and socks, and rarely goes out.
In May, Gan Tang's shoes and socks were embroidered in a large box, and several elders in the family said that it was enough to worship the relatives and elders of the future in-law's family, but she was still embroidering.
No way, Gan Tang is not an outgoing person, her habits over the years have made her accustomed to it, even if there is something in her heart, she will tell the people who care about her as soon as possible, but the key point is that if she doesn't figure it out, she will still be depressed.
In this case, she has something to do at hand, and she is still proud for a while.
On this day, the eldest aunt saw that Gan Tang was too bored during this time, and was about to force her out of the house, when she suddenly heard an angel from outside.
Last time Gantang and Lu ceremony, Li Neiguan came to say that the nobleman had arrived, although Li Neiguan was a eunuch, but he represented the queen, and it was not an exaggeration to call him a nobleman.
But this time, when it is directly said that the angel has arrived, it means that it represents an official or chamberlain with a holy decree.
Gan Tang was frightened and pierced the embroidery needle into his white fingertips on the spot.
The eldest aunt panicked and asked people to take hemostatic ointment to apply to Gantang, and then took Gantang to the front hall.
Along the way, the eldest aunt was comforting Gan Tang, "Don't be afraid, Tang'er, your three aunts and uncles have all sent two letters to the imperial capital, and Your Majesty will not give you a marriage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the sake of her face." You also know that some time ago your eldest cousin had just won a battle, and he had not yet received a reward, and this decree may not be a decree for marriage. ”
Gan Tang nodded in a panic, although during this time, the family told her some of the origins and bonds between her third aunt and the current majesty, and told her many times that her majesty would forgive the small actions made by the family to protect her, but she was still not optimistic in her heart.
Traditionally, the proclamation is the messenger to the official's house half an hour in advance to report, to the official's family to prepare the time for the incense case, after the preparation of the incense case, the angel who generally reads the holy decree also comes with the holy decree, if the holy decree has not arrived, then the lord of the family will carry the whole family in front of the incense case according to the order of the elder and the young.
This time, when the Bian family prepared the incense case, the holy decree had not yet arrived, so the Bian family stood in several rows, waiting silently.
Gan Tang, who was standing in the crowd, was very pale at the moment, because when preparing the incense case, his grandfather had already asked the messenger about the content of the holy decree, which was the holy decree of marriage, and the objects were Gan Tang and Lu Xun.
Gan Tang feels sluggish breathing at the moment, since the planning of her marriage in her own family, nothing has been smooth, and now, going around and around, she seems to have gotten what she wants, but after so much, she no longer has any shame about her daughter's family, and she is not looking forward to her upcoming marriage at all.
In this calm, she listened to the official who read the decree read it, and then she knelt down and received it with reverence.
No matter who the decree is given, it must be respectfully enshrined on the incense case to show respect for the imperial power, and after the official left, Gan Tang handed the decree to his maid at will.
The grandmother looked at Gan Tang with a blank face, took her hand distressedly, and then set her eyes on her third daughter-in-law.
"Hua Liang, Your Majesty's reply to you, isn't this matter not mentioned for the time being? How is it that it has only been two months, and this marriage decree has been sent without even a word of notice in advance? ”
Under normal circumstances, even if the emperor wants to give marriage, he will privately discuss it with the minister who is given the marriage in advance, and then promulgate the holy decree.
When Li Neiguan came to Xichuan, he came to give some gifts first, said hello, and discussed later.
On the emperor's side, although the third aunt has passed on two letters, the content of the credible mention is that he has all hopes, and allows Gantang to marry independently, and does not enter the royal family.
Now the marriage partner is Lu Xun, but he has not fallen into the royal family, but what about the autonomy of marriage?
"I don't know, Your Majesty's letter, Daddy, you have also seen it, Your Majesty has promised not to interfere in Tang'er's marriage, and he has no reason to break his promise." The third aunt also wrinkled her eyebrows, thinking about the reason for this.
"I'm afraid something happened to Yan Long." Grandfather sighed heavily.
Grandfather's words made Gan Tang's heart tighten,
"Grandpa, Your Majesty is in good health, the morning and evening, the prince is beautiful and wise, and there is an immortal strategy in his chest, what will happen to Yan Long?" Gan Tang asked nervously.
Gan Tang's subtext, Yan Long's two lords of the world are very good, the country is stable, so what can happen to Yan Long, it will implicate Xichuan's side, and it will implicate her marriage of a woman in cloth.
"Don't worry about Tang'er, things won't be too bad, you're too depressed during this time, just go out and have fun with your cousin-in-law." My grandfather intended to be generous to Gantang's heart.
Originally, this morning, the eldest aunt was going to take Gan Tang out for a walk, but now the grandfather mentioned it again, and the eldest aunt took Gan Tang's hand and said, "Tang'er, Huacai Pavilion has recently come out with new tricks, and my aunt will take you out to play two sets of heads and make two new clothes." ”
Gan Tang did as he said, and went out with his aunt after saluting.
After she left, her grandfather said to her grandmother, "I'll go to Tang Wangfu." "Also out of the door.
In the days that followed, everything was peaceful.
