Chapter 169: The Night of Candles in the Cave Room
Seeing that Zhang Guifen wanted to speak again, Qiu Yun said anxiously, "But what, I have to be a good girl, what are your concerns."
But at this time, Zhang Guifen felt a little panicked in her heart, after all, it is a joy in life to be young and admire Shaoai.
Just when Zhang Guifen was enjoying the future Ruyi Langjun, a marriage will of the official family completely broke all her imagination.
But looking at Zhang Guifen's attitude, Qiu Yun was really uneasy, and said, "Girl, you will be the bride of your uncle's family soon, and when your aunt comes, you can't look like this."
Zhang Guifen replied: "I'm not stupid, this marriage was personally decided by the official family, and it can't go wrong no matter what.
Don't worry, I will marry well and do what a lady should do."
After finishing speaking, he began to laugh, this smile didn't even see anything wrong with Qiu Yun, who was closest to him, and even more so that others couldn't see it.
At the same time, Li Hao and Gu Tingye were being stopped outside the mansion, asking everyone to answer.
Of course, Li Hao's side is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and it is naturally easy for these people to come up with the problem of the military strategy phalanx.
After some teaching tests, this topic did not embarrass Li Hao and them, but bypassed them themselves.
Seeing that he really couldn't get cheap, he said to Li Hao: "You always let others answer, but you lose your reputation for both civil and military skills, and make people think that you are just a waste of fame.
The next question, either you can answer it yourself, or if you can answer it, we will let you in."
As soon as he heard this, Li Hao smiled and said, "Okay, then let's make a decision, please come up with the question."
With Li Hao's agreement, the people on the British side discussed it together to see what problems needed to make it difficult for Li Hao to stay.
It's just that no matter how much effort they put into discussing, they still didn't stop Li Hao's pace of answering the question, and Li Hao still solved it quickly.
At this time, a group of people outside the palace gate also got out of the way as they said, and then Fu Deng led his subordinates to start scattering happy money.
And Li Hao, under the guidance of the maid, went directly to Zhang Guifen's boudoir and met the bride.
Not to mention, although Li Hao had also seen Zhang Guifen before, when he saw him wearing this phoenix crown and xia veil today, it still made Li Hao's eyes light up.
No wonder it is said that women are the most beautiful when they wear wedding dresses, but in Li Hao's opinion, wearing a wedding dress is only afraid that it is not as brilliant as this phoenix crown.
It was because of this that Li Hao was intoxicated and couldn't help but be stunned.
That is, because Li Hao kept looking at it, it made Zhang Guifen a little embarrassed to be looked at.
Just when the two of them looked at each other, Qiu Yun said, "The old man and the old lady are waiting in the main hall to serve tea now, we can't let them wait for a long time."
Hearing this, Li Hao came back to his senses at once, and Zhang Guifen also took the fan that had been prepared, covered his cheeks, got up and followed Li Hao to the main hall.
At this time, the British couple had already sat at the table, waiting for Li Hao and Zhang Guifen to come to serve tea.
According to the process, Li Hao first took the tea cup from the side and gave it to the British Duchess, and then to the British Duchess.
And after drinking these two cups of tea, Li Hao can officially change his name to call them father-in-law and mother-in-law, although Li Hao has been shameless for a long time.
At the same time, the two of them gave another advice to Li Hao and Zhang Guifen, so that the two respected and loved each other and worked together to grow old.
After completing this step, the two of them had to leave the British Mansion and return to Li Hao's Mansion to continue the rest of the rituals.
So when he got out of the house, Li Hao sent Zhang Guifen into the sedan chair, and then rode back on the high-headed horse and embarked on the return journey.
However, on the way back, Li Hao looked at the huge wedding team behind him from time to time.
I can't help but sigh at the generosity of the British duke, how much dowry did I accompany in order to marry my daughter, which is not an exaggeration to describe it with ten miles of red makeup.
However, according to the customs of the Northern Song Dynasty, these dowries are Zhang Guifen's private property, and Li Hao has no right to use them
After taking two looks, Li Hao didn't pay attention.
Soon the group returned to Li's house, and Li Hao came to the sedan chair and led Zhang Guifen off the sedan chair.
After the two of them entered the mansion, Fu Deng and the others scattered a wave of happy money here to pray for auspicious meanings.
At this time, the main hall of the Li Mansion was much more lively than the British Mansion, and Wei and Li Jian were naturally sitting in the main seat.
Then on the chairs on both sides, Ouyang Xiu, Master Qin, Chen Shengzhi, and Sheng Hong were also sitting here.
Of course, everyone else is highly respected, and Sheng Hong is purely for Minglan sake, giving Sheng Hong a little face.
Li Hao and Zhang Guifen walked in, and in the harmony of the ceremonial officials, they first worshiped their parents, and then offered tea to Wei and Li Jian.
After this step was completed, Zhu Neiguan calculated the time and walked in with the holy decree.
When Zhu Neiguan held up the holy decree, everyone present knelt down to listen to the decree.
Zhu Neiguan said loudly: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Zhang Guifen, the wife of the Li family, is cautious, diligent and submissive, pure and pure, gentle and virtuous.
He was immediately canonized as a fourth-class master, and he admired this!"
Hearing this will, Zhang Guifen was really impressed by her husband, and Zhu Neiguan took this opportunity to announce the decree.
It is nothing more than saying that he can get this fate, relying on the identity of Li Hao's wife, and this adds to the face of the Li family.
Of course, in addition, Zhang Guifen couldn't help but be a little excited, although the British duchess was a first-class lady.
Then Zhang Guifen usually saw a lot of Mrs. Fate, but when it was really her turn, this feeling was completely different.
As for the eyes of others looking at Li Hao, they have also begun to change a lot, after all, this is Jian Zaidi's heart.
Especially Sheng Hong, thinking that Li Hao had earned his life for his mother and wife at such a young age, he really didn't achieve anything.
Of course, Li Hao can't control what other people think, and after Li Hao got up, he invited Zhu Neiguan to have a wedding banquet in the mansion before leaving, and Zhu Neiguan also readily agreed.
Then the wedding process continued to get back on track, with Li Hao and Zhang Guifen holding the "concentric knot" and moving to the new house, where the husband and wife worshipped.
After worshipping, the two sat on the bed, and then performed the ritual of "spreading the tent" and "closing the bun".
First, a group of female rolls sprinkled the prepared red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds on the bed, and said auspicious words while sprinkling, and these things also implied the early birth of a noble son.
Then cut a strand of hair on each of their heads and form a concentric knot as a token of marriage.
Then put this concentric knot into the box and press it under the quilt, implying that you will grow old together.
After that, it was time to hand over the glass, and after the two drank the wine, it meant that the wedding ceremony was completed.
Waiting for Li Hao to put down the wine glass, Gu Tingye walked out directly and said, "Okay, you're done here, then it's time for us to drink, I have to get you drunk today."
As he spoke, he and Yang Wenyuan pulled Li Hao left and right, and walked towards the banquet.
You must know that in order to hold a decent and thoughtful wedding banquet today, today's four divisions and six bureaus are all from the Huining Marquis Mansion and the Lingguo Mansion, and they are all managed by people who are good at it.
So this scene is still very good, especially with the appearance of Li Hao, it is even more lively in front of it.
However, Li Hao picked up the wine glass and went to the main table to toast first, that is, Li Jian, Qin Fuzi, Ouyang Xiu and Chen Sheng.
After the main table was served, they traveled to the tables and toasted them for taking the time to attend their wedding feast.
But this respect, the wine to be drunk can't be stopped, although Gu Tingye and they spontaneously came up to help, rushing to drink with these people, so that Li Hao can drink less,
But in the end, Li Hao was still a little unbearable, there was no way, in terms of drinking, the combat effectiveness of the civil officials was really bursting, and they crushed Gu Tingye and them.
So seeing that the situation was not good, Li Hao hurriedly pretended to be drunk in advance and walked the way
Staggered, and the person holding it in his hand also began to call the wrong name and talk nonsense.
Seeing Li Hao's appearance, everyone did not doubt it, so they let Li Hao go and let Li Hao go back to his new house.
And on this way, Li Hao still didn't forget to make a drunken appearance, and he didn't pretend until he entered the backyard.
But when Li Hao entered the room and saw Zhang Guifen sitting on the bed, Li Hao was really at a loss.
After all, he is a human being in two lives, and this is the first time he has married a daughter-in-law, so he really has no experience.
And Zhang Guifen is not much better, although when she got married, the British duchess gave a lesson, but it really came to this day.
Under this tension, I don't know where to forget the original teachings.
So when Li Hao sat next to Zhang Guifen, it could be seen that both of them were a little nervous, especially Zhang Guifen, her ears became red.
Seeing this situation, Li Hao decided to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, since this is not true, it is better to use actions to show his intentions.
So he said directly, "Madam, then let's rest in peace."
Zhang Guifen, who heard this, whispered, "Okay."
The voice was so small that it was like a mosquito, and if it weren't for the movement of the mouth, I really wouldn't feel like someone was talking.
So the next thing was the Furong tent to warm up the Spring Festival, and Li Hao used his actions to show his attitude towards this marriage.
Early the next morning, Li Hao and Zhang Guifen got up to greet Wei and Li Jian.
It was at this time that Wei said, "You are from the family of the prince, and you are naturally more familiar with the things that are being sent to you than me.
In the future, I will hand over the power of this house to you, and let you take charge of the affairs of this house."
Hearing this, Zhang Guifen's first reaction was whether the Wei family was talking nonsense, and even took the initiative to give up the power of the family.
But on the other hand, Zhang Guifen didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she had to look at Li Hao and ask for help.
At this time, Li Hao said, "Don't think about it, my mother really doesn't like this socializing.
If you'd like, you might as well give it a try."
Hearing Li Hao say the same, Zhang Guifen said, "Okay, then I will temporarily take care of the house on behalf of my mother-in-law, if I do anything bad, mother-in-law, just say it."
After chatting about this, Wei asked the two of them to go down to rest, and asked someone to bring a big tonic stew so that the two could replenish their bodies.
Next, on the third day after getting married, Li Hao accompanied Zhang Guifen back to Ning.
The two spent a day in the British Mansion, and in the middle, the British Duchess took Zhang Guifen away and talked about herself.
And Li Hao also accompanied the British Duke to speak, and the British Duke also talked about the recent major events in the DPRK and China, that is, whether to appoint Zhao Zongquan as Kaifeng Yin.
But Li Hao really didn't have any idea about this, although Li Hao hadn't been to the yamen for a while, Li Hao still knew some things.
Seeing that this thing has become completely different from what he planned in advance.
There is no way, Li Hao can only uphold the golden mean, and say it in the clouds.
And when the British public heard this, he didn't say anything bad, after all, it is not a wrong thing to be able to talk and do things in the clouds when working in the imperial court.
After chatting, I had lunch at the British Mansion before returning home.
In the following days, Li Hao fully showed his taste for eating marrow and constantly doing what he loved.
And when Li Hao was resting at home, the development of things in the DPRK and China was still continuing.
There are still people in the court who are playing and asking the official family to appoint Zhao Zongquan as Kaifeng Yin.
That is, he was busy with this matter, so Zhao Ceying did not come to Li Hao's wedding, of course, his family's congratulatory gifts were still given.
And with the development of this situation, Han Qi finally found Ouyang Xiu and said, "Now that the court is making a fuss about whether to appoint Zhao Zongquan as Kaifeng Yin, what do you think about this?"
As soon as I heard this,
Ouyang Xiu understood that this Han Qi wanted to fool himself and let himself come forward to directly help Zhao Zongquan make this matter.
Of course, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he naturally can't say this: "Now that the official family has canonized Zhao Zongquan as the prince, the succession to the throne is guaranteed.
The rest will come according to the wishes of the officials, and we won't join in the fun."
Seeing that Ouyang Xiu didn't plan to come out, Han Qi said: "The Political Affairs Hall once selected the chief official for the Kaifeng Mansion, but after reporting it, the official family still disagreed, and it is obvious that the official family intends to leave the position of Kaifeng Yin."
Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu said directly, "Since the official family has this meaning, then there is no need for us to get involved.
At the beginning, forcing the official family to establish a prince was a last resort for the stability of the imperial situation, how can he force the official family to make a decision now."
Seeing Ouyang Xiu's appearance of not entering the oil and salt, Han Qi didn't want to say anything more, lest his plans be seen by Ouyang Xiu.
So after chatting a few more words, Han Qi said goodbye and left and went to Chen Shengzhi's mansion.
And Chen Shengzhi was friendly with Han Qi, so after Han Qi explained the reason, Chen Shengzhi agreed.
3
It is guaranteed that the official family will be booked and asked to appoint Zhao Zongquan as Kaifeng Yin.
In fact, Chen Shengzhi's actions made him lose his original favor in Zhao Zhen's eyes.
Especially after knowing that Han Qi had been to Chen's house,
Then Chen Shengzhi went to this recital, and Zhao Zhen naturally understood the meaning of this.
However, Zhao Zhen did not have a seizure, but continued to stay in the middle and did not send it, and by the way, he was waiting to see if Han Qi would also be on it.
On the other side, Zhao Zongquan and his son found Han Qi and wanted him to come forward in person.
After all, the appointment of Kaifeng Yin has been delayed for a long time, and Zhao Zongquan now desperately hopes that this matter can be decided as soon as possible.
And at this time, Han Qi didn't seem to know what to say.
Originally, in order to get closer to Zhao Zongquan, he came up with the idea to put the appointment in Kaifeng Yin.
Now in this situation, Han Qi had no choice but to promise to go up as soon as possible.
