Volume 1 Chapter 660 Nacai asks for a name
Xu He wrote five letters for Wu Decao to bring back to Hailing.
The first letter is for his mother, the second is for Chen Hua, the third is for Xu Dai, the fourth is for Mao Yuan, and the fifth, of course, is for Sister Gu.
Needless to say, the first letter was done according to Lao Wu's wishes.
The second letter goes without saying.
The third letter is to explain the decree of the imperial court and the construction of the champion workshop, as well as the [Jinshi and the first] plaque and the [champion and the first] plaque of the Ministry of Rites, as well as the plaque of [Kejia Lianjie] written by Wang Liangchen and sent to him, and the plaque of [Southeast Kuixing] given to him by Li Xiyan, these have to be carved by someone and hung in the ancestral hall of the Xu family.
Of course, the two plaques given by the emperor will also be escorted back to the ancestral hall this time.
That's the [Three Yuan] and [Lianzhong Six Yuan] of Qinci.
Compared with these two plaques, neither the person who wrote them nor the content in them are the same.
Therefore, Xu He should focus on a few words of advice, be careful and pay attention, and never make a little mistake, otherwise when the time comes, he will be impeached if he is known by the imperial history.
The fifth letter to Mao Bao was to ask him to send a boat and a special escort when his mother and Sister Gu came to Beijing, otherwise he would really not be at ease.
And when Xu He wrote the last letter to Sister Gu, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't put pen to paper.
At this point, any explanation pales.
Only by letting Sister Gu know her mind is possible.
Eventually, he spread out the paper, dipped it in ink and wrote on it:
A cut plum rain hit the pear blossom deep closed door
The rain hit the pear blossom and closed the door deeply, forgetting the youth and mistaking the youth.
Who is happy to talk about? Ecstasy under the flowers, ecstasy under the moon.
Sorrowful gathering eyebrows, thousands of marks, 10,000 marks.
Xiao looks at the sky and looks at the clouds at dusk, and thinks about you when you walk, and thinks about you when you sit.
……
Five days later, the palace finally had a decree to come down.
The first assistant Qin Yan was the envoy to prepare for the marriage of Xu He and the second daughter of the emperor.
Why is it the second daughter of the emperor and not the princess.
In fact, in ancient times, when the Son of Heaven married a daughter, he could not marry himself, but used the princes with the same surname to marry, so he was called [Princess].
Strictly speaking, the emperor's daughter cannot be called a princess before she leaves the cabinet, she should be called the princess, or the emperor.
In the Tang Dynasty, this custom was still to use the prince to officiate marriage.
It was not until the former Song Dynasty that this rule was abolished, and only the person in charge of the wedding was ordered to receive the table at the inner east gate, and the emperor himself officiated the marriage.
The Great Wei Dynasty was just a ritual of the Song Dynasty.
Today's champion, even the sixth yuan of Xu Liushou Xu He's matter of Princess Shang has just come out, causing an uproar in the capital.
There are those who envy, there are those who regret, and there are many people who watch jokes behind their backs.
After all, she is a dignified champion with a bright future, but she became a princess when she just stepped into officialdom.
What is a colt?
Just look at Sun Ang.
The vast majority of them are wine bags and rice bags, even if Sun Ang has been a jinshi before, but isn't it also wasted?
Xu He was still a princess at this time, and her bright future could be said to be extremely dark.
After Qin Yan learned the news, he happily took the expression to Xu Song's duty room and said: "Zhongwang, the emperor still believes in your Xu family, and he actually married the princess, the old man is really envious, no wonder you refused my granddaughter's marriage at that time, did you already know about it?" ”
Looking at the other party's gloating appearance, Xu Song smiled slightly: "I really don't know, I thought that Liangsheng was still young, and he had just come to the capital, but the old man privately wanted him to exercise for a few years, and then get married when he was mature, so he lived up to the good intentions of Shoufu, but I didn't expect ......."
Qin Yan obviously wouldn't believe these words, he laughed: "It's okay, it's okay, this bright voice climbs to the emperor, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life in the future!" Fortunately, we didn't get married at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to give Liangsheng the wealth and glory of this life! ”
Qin Yan's mouth was full of wealth and glory, so he almost said directly that your nephew is useless, and he will be a wife slave who can only eat, drink and have fun in the future.
Xu Song was unhappy in his heart, but he still smiled: "It's all Your Majesty's grace!" ”
Seeing this, Qin Yan smiled and said: "Zhongwang, since you are Xu Xiu's elder in the capital, then the old man will tell you about the gift of asking for your name!" ”
"I'll go back and prepare!"
……
Back in the mansion, Xu He happened to go to the palace and was going to stay in his mansion for dinner tonight.
"Qin Yan just came to me, tomorrow is Na Cai to ask for a name, Liangsheng, it's too late for you to regret it now!" Xu Song stared at Xu He's eyes and said.
Xu He smiled bitterly: "Uncle, it's too late, now the whole capital knows about it, if you let Your Majesty take back your fate......
Speaking of this, he shook his head: "Since it has been decided, then don't hesitate, please maintain everything!" ”
Xu Song nodded and sighed: "It may not be a good match, your uncle will not harm you!" ”
Xu He nodded, the reason why he agreed to this matter was because he believed in Xie Kun.
Since he said that the princess is good, then ...... That's not bad.
Anyway, when I saw Queen Xie at the beginning, I thought that the queen was still very gentle and beautiful, presumably the daughter she gave birth to would not be too bad, right?
Early the next morning, Qin Yan really came to the door early.
Seeing Xu Song, Xu He's uncle and nephew waiting in the house, he smiled and said to the two: "How is it?" Zhongwang, Liangsheng, everything is ready? ”
In fact, there are not many things that need to be prepared for Na Cai's name, and yesterday a eunuch came to the house to inform what to prepare.
First of all, a pair of geese.
In this era, people who are particular about getting married, and men will use geese as gifts when they propose marriage, which is a very special custom.
The wild goose has the meaning of husband and wife sharing hardships, husbands singing with wives, and working together to tide over difficulties.
The wild goose is also a symbol of trustworthiness, and as we all know, the wild goose is a seasonal animal, migrating with the seasons and not missing a fraction of the time, and is considered to be the most trustworthy bird.
When spring comes, the revival of all things will attract the flock of geese returning to the north. In autumn, when the weather gets cooler, the geese begin to fly towards the warmer south.
Finally, the wild goose is a gift from cultural people, and Yuan Haowen in the Yuan Dynasty once described in "Yanqiu Ci" that "ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death to make a promise?" There are double flyers in the south and the north, and the old wings have been cold and hot several times. ”
This poem depicts the relationship between the geese. The wild goose only seeks one mate for life, and it is one of the most affectionate birds in the world.
It is precisely by taking advantage of this habit and reputation of the wild goose that the world takes it as a gift of insight.
In addition to the wild goose, it is a statement to the emperor.
This is Xu He's resume, his birthday, or something.
Finally, add a few words of gratitude, it's like making a budget, you can set a quota, just copy it and change the name.
Xu He handed the watch and the wild goose to the accompanying eunuchs, and in the direction of the palace, he and the uncle knelt on the ground, bowing three times and bowing nine times.
Qin Yan looked at the two of them, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he didn't say much, and with a wave of his hand, he turned around and went out with someone.
Half an hour later.
In front of the inner east gate, Qin Yan came to Wang Ji and said: "The imperial court has given the experience of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to experience Xu Weizi, Xu He Xi is the gift of the ancestors, and the envoy Wang Ji is invited to accept it." ”
After speaking, he knelt down and handed the Xu family's expression to Wang Ji, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant of the ceremony.
Wang Ji hurriedly knelt down to receive the expression, and after getting up, he entered the inner hall with the expression in both hands.
The little eunuch holding the wild goose hurriedly followed.
