66. A quick salute
Lou Xinyue returned to the mansion of the eldest princess of Changle and talked to Liu Xinning, and Liu Xinning went to the eldest princess of Changle to talk again.
On the second day, the twenty-second day of the first month, it was auspicious.
Early in the morning, the Jiang family on Cangzheng Street was busy.
Mrs. He transferred the regiment under the command of a limited number of subordinates.
"There should not be a single leaf on the ground, and there should be no dust on the windows and door frames......
"Mother, it doesn't have to be this way. The situation of our Jiang family is so simple, why do you need to make that kind of family? ”
Jiang Dufan couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly dissuaded his mother.
"Even if it's simple, it's clean and tidy. Do you know who's coming? It's the eldest princess of Changle. She wants to come to our house as a matchmaker, waiting for the people from the Fuguo Mansion to come and take a cues. ”
Mrs. He couldn't sit still.
In the past, she followed her mother-in-law of Sanpin to the banquet, and she didn't see the eldest princess of Changle, let alone after the defeat of the Jiang family.
"This house is still small. Our family is not without money, and the three-entry house can also afford it, so why do we have to live in two-in? ”
Mrs. He looked at the front and back of the house and muttered again.
"Because our Jiang family is not an official, but just a common people's home, we are not allowed to live in more than two houses in the capital."
Jiang Dufan replied expressionlessly.
Mrs. He smiled wryly.
How did she not know? It's just an uneasy way to talk about.
"You say, will the eldest princess be very serious? When I met the eldest princess before, she was a little girl, and she looked very kind. ”
"You can see how old this table is, and the paint is a little peeling. Mother He, you go to the storeroom and bring that silk satin to spread it. ”
"Xiaoju, you go to the garden and pick a few newly blooming flowers and put them on."
"Xiaomei, you ......"
Jiang Dufan looked at his mother who couldn't stop, so he could only sit on the chair helplessly and didn't move.
Just after the end of the year, Lou Xinyue came to the Jiang family to accompany the shy and restless Jiang Yunshuang.
At two o'clock, Liu Xinning accompanied Princess Changle to the Jiang family.
At four o'clock, Fu Guogong and his wife led Fu Yu and the matchmaker and came with gifts.
When the Duchess of Fuguo saw the eldest princess of Changle, who was sitting in the first place, she was surprised and secretly thought about it in her heart.
It seems that this Jiang family is really not an ordinary family of ordinary people.
Due to the urgency of time, this time the etiquette went quickly.
On the twenty-second day of the first month, Nacai and asked for names to do it together. On the twenty-sixth day of the first month, Najib finished the letter of appointment, and this family affair was completely decided.
In this way, both the Fuguo Mansion and the Jiang family breathed a sigh of relief.
"In-laws, it's not that we don't know the etiquette. One is that the eldest prince of your mansion is about to participate in the Spring Festival, and you must be busy here, so you don't dare to waste time on etiquette, so as not to miss the eldest prince's business. The second is that the old lady of our family is very old, so she wants to quickly set up a family affair to make her happy. Even if you can't greet it in person immediately, then you have a marriage certificate in the end. ”
Duchess Fuguo looked at the newly arrived hot marriage book and said with a sigh.
Although it is said that their family has the meaning of kissing, the palace may not force it. However, in the end, it is better to have the marriage book in hand.
The county lord of Zhaoyang said that she heard that Wu Zhaoyi seemed to be going to ask for marriage in these two days.
I heard that Princess Rouhui was unwilling to marry Yu'er, so she ran away from home and went to live in Zhuangzi outside the capital.
And in order to persuade Princess Rouhui, the fifth prince went to accompany her.
Therefore, the marriage of the two families can be concealed from Wu Zhaoyi alone.
Fortunately, Wu Zhaoyi was in the deep palace and was anxious because of Princess Rouhui.
They are in such a hurry because they want to settle down as soon as possible and consolidate this marriage.
Now that the letter of appointment has been issued, this family affair can be announced to the world in a righteous and bright way.
She didn't believe it, this royal family still had to 'force the cow to press its head without drinking water'?
In particular, Princess Rouhui is not happy with this family business.
"All understand, all understand. These six rites are indeed cumbersome. Like ordinary people, they generally go directly to the four salutes. ”
Mrs. He replied with a smile.
She wasn't lying. The people do find the six rites cumbersome, so most of them take four rites, and some families even have three or two rites.
"The in-laws are generous. After this letter of appointment is available, you will concentrate on preparing for the spring of the eldest son. After this paragraph, let's take the rest of the ceremony. Duchess Fuguo said with relief.
"It's true, everything in our family is on Twilight." Mrs. He said embarrassedly.
Jiang Dufan is the eldest son of the long house, and he wants to support this family.
If Jiang Dufan wins this spring, it will be able to raise Jiang Yunshuang's identity even more.
Jinshi can choose officials. Jiang Dufan has become an official, and Jiang Yunshuang is the official's sister.
Marrying as a daughter of an official family is naturally much higher than the status of a sister.
Duchess Fuguo followed Mrs. He's words and praised Jiang Dufan.
The two of them chatted more and more lively.
And in the palace, Wu Zhaoyi, who heard Zhuangzili tell that Princess Rouhui still disagreed, finally ran out of patience and ran to Emperor Qingping to propose marriage.
Emperor Qingping listened to Wu Zhaoyi's request, pondered for a while, and then asked people to go to the Fuguo Mansion to Xuanfuguo Gong to meet him.
As a result, he waited for a while before seeing Fu Guogong.
"The Holy Forgiveness of Sins is really not in the house, so I couldn't come to the audience in time." As soon as Fu Guogong entered the imperial study, he began to plead guilty.
"It doesn't matter. It was the suddenness of my announcement. However, where did Fu Aiqing go? Emperor Qingping said affectionately.
"Back to the saint, today is the youngest child in the family, Najib, so it is at the future in-laws of Chenna." Fu Guogong hurriedly replied with a smile.
"Najib? Who Najib? Emperor Qingping couldn't help frowning.
If he remembers correctly, the son of Fuguo Gong, only Fu Yu has never married.
"Child's encounter."
"Fu Yu is married?" Emperor Qingping asked in surprise.
"Exactly. Today's letter of appointment has been issued. The marriage is completely decided. ”
"I don't know, which daughter of the Aiqing family is it?"
Emperor Qingping knew that this marriage was a step late, so he frowned at first, and then let go.
It's just a marriage, and then I'll change Rouhui with a horse.
"It's the eldest daughter of the Jiang family on Cangzheng Street." After Fu Guogong finished speaking, he saw Emperor Qingping's puzzled look and hurriedly explained.
"Oh. Is it a civilian woman? Aiqing is a loyal minister, so there is no need to be so evasive. ”
Emperor Qingping looked at the cautious Fuguo Gong and couldn't help but be comforted.
"The Holy One has misunderstood. It's the children in the family who love this woman. The minister thought that the child had no achievements, and after the minister died, he would naturally have to split up. If you marry this woman, you will not be looked down upon by your wife and children when you divide the family. So you don't have to choose a big family, as long as he likes it. Fu Guogong still said happily.
"So?"
"yes. Although the woman was a civilian, she was the niece of Yong Weibo's original wife of the Jiang family. The Jiang family is the serious in-laws of Yongweibo Mansion. Now that the Jiang family is already a lifter, they are going to participate in the test Enke this year. If you have to be selected as an official, it will be a serious official. Besides, the matchmakers of the Jiang family all invited the eldest princess of Changle. ”
Fu Guogong pulled out the eldest princess of Changle and said something about it.
When Emperor Qingping heard about the eldest princess of Changle, he couldn't help but inquire, and by the way, he remembered Lou Xinyue, who had met once in the Empress Dowager's palace.
"Yes, it was Yong Weibo's eldest daughter who saved Zhaoyang. I even rewarded her with something at that time. ”
Emperor Qingping heard that it was a girl from the in-laws of Yongweibo Mansion, and it was not a small family, so he congratulated the Duke of Fuguo.
For a while, the atmosphere between the monarch and the minister was better.
