Before the wedding
(The book is happy, the author is sad, and today I feel extremely bad...)
Lian Zining moved out of the mansion in the city and returned to the presidential palace of the Wuyi Army's Jingnan Camp.
I haven't seen Kang Su and his daughter for a long time, so I have no problem with each other.
All the complicated matters have been assigned.
Liu Liangchen went to Shandong under the order of Lian Zining to purchase various military equipment such as spears and ellipses, and planned to discuss with Liu Huateng whether to move part of the Liu family's workshop to Xishenwei, so that it can be purchased nearby. Shi Dazhu represented Lian Zining to negotiate with the Ministry of Industry to discuss the establishment of an industrial zone in Xishenwei. This is Lian Zining's affairs and the court's part. Of course, the court has to take responsibility. Lian Zining felt that it was too troublesome to recruit craftsmen among the people, so he planned to directly draw some of the craftsmen under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry. The craftsmen and craftsmen in this era had just been abolished, and the quality was still very high. Both technical and discipline were much better than those in the folk. How much to be removed and how to manage them must be passed through the Ministry of Industry.
Wang Dachun went to the Ministry of Revenue and talked to the officials of the Ministry of Revenue to give the 800,000 taels of silver back as soon as possible.
Of course, according to the Ming Dynasty, it would be impossible not to let go of some blood. Although it was under the nose of the emperor in the capital, Zengzeng issued a post and exploited it layer by layer, and I don’t know how much I had left in my hands. Lian Zining had a bottom line, as long as he could give me 600,000 taels left.
Even Zining did not become the manager after making all these things. In fact, he is the busiest one now, and he is busy with one of the most important things in his life - getting married!
Yes, the time is approaching the wedding date of Lian Zining and Dai Qinglan. Lian Zining is about to get married.
No matter what era you are in, getting married is a very important event in life. Getting married does not just mean you can sleep with her legally, but in fact, that is just a very insignificant part of the entire marriage. Getting married means that you must live together, take care of each other, be tolerant of each other, understand each other, and even tolerate each other. Two people will never leave each other, depend on each other in life and death, hold hands, grow old with you, and walk to the end of your life together.
You want to live together. This means that you must take responsibility for each other, as husband, father, wife, and mother.
Although it is at the age of thirty, marriage is a node, and only after getting married is true to a man or a woman, mature.
In this era, getting married has an extraordinary significance. Girls become women and young people become young people. This is not only a change in clothing, but also a change in hairstyle, but also a psychological maturity and a degree of recognition by society.
Moreover, Lian Zining married the wife of the wife of the wife.
There is a world of difference between the wife of the main wife and the concubine. In terms of law, the wife of the main wife is the master, and the concubine is only a little better than the servant. If you marry a concubine, then the unqualified family will find a sedan chair, hire a few sedan chair servants, and quietly bring people in, come in from the small door, and invite neighbors to have a table of three taels of silver. However, even if you marry a wife of the main wife, no matter how ordinary it is, it will definitely be a lively arrangement.
The wife of the main wife is the inner master of a family. She not only needs to take care of her husband and children, but also needs to support the elderly. She gets along with her sister-in-law all day long, and has silk and linens. Whether she has the virtue of "wives being obedient" and is harmonious is related to the stability and prosperity of the family. Therefore, the "Huanyi" says: "Therefore, the wife is obedient and prepared, and then the family can be harmonious and last for a long time."
For the princes and princes, the wife of the official wife was covered with a layer of political significance and had more functions and roles, so we must be careful.
The wedding day is not far away. If you only plan it now, you will inevitably be a little frigid. Fortunately, since Liu Liangchen learned that he was safe and sound, he has started to handle the wedding for him. Many things have been prepared, so now Lian Zining only needs to finish the most important things that he needs to complete in person.
After planning for a few days, Lian Zining went to Dai Mansion and discussed with Dai Zhangpu.
As the wedding day approaches, the whole house is full of joy.
When they saw Lian Zining, the Dai family was also confused and quickly informed the manager and personally sent Lian Zining to the temple in Dai Zhangpu.
Xiao Qing hid under a cluster of almost withered flowers and trees. Looking at Lian Zining's tall figure, her face was filled with unconcealed joy. Her big black eyes were spinning around. She watched Lian Zining enter the monastery, turned around and ran towards Dai Qinglan's boudoir.
In the past few days, even Zining was busy and Dai Qinglan was not idle. Not everyone could be the wife of the nobles and high-ranking officials of this era. To be honest, if a woman from a humble background became a wife, she would definitely be in a hurry to make the whole house mess.
As the wife of the main wife, she had to manage hundreds, dozens of slaves in the mansion, she had to be careful in her calculations, manage the family's finances, coordinate the relationship between wives and concubines, and not mess up the rules and regulations, but also serve her husband, serve her parents-in-law, and deal with other noble ladies. Don't give her husband face.
All of these are also a great knowledge.
However, Dai Zhangpu's wife died early, and Qinglan has always been in charge of the affairs of the mansion. Therefore, there is no need to worry about this ability.
However, Dai Zhangpu was not at ease and specially invited the emperor's will to the palace. Two older female officials were invited from the palace to the palace, and the female officials in the palace provided the final education on women's morality, speech, appearance, and merit.
The emperor was quite happy when he heard that Lian Zining had married his wife and Dai Zhangpu had married his daughter. He personally issued an order and asked Lin Xiongqi to select two female officials to send them to Dai Mansion.
Of course, the teachings are very complicated. Not only these, but also the obligation to serve the husband and the matters related to bedsides. These things are placed among the people. They were usually taught by their mothers or aunts. However, Qinglan's mother died early and those relatives were all in their hometown in Jiangnan. It would be that Dai Zhangpu taught himself? What's that?
I had to send a female official who had paid a marriage to teach him. This time Qinglan had a good experience. It turned out that the spring palace paintings treasured in the palace were so profound and lifelike. It made people blush and hot. It was indeed a royal atmosphere, and it was beyond the reach of the people.
When Xiaoqing went back, the female official Zheng from the palace was teaching Qinglan.
"What is a woman's virtue?" The voice of female official Zheng came from the semi-open window, very strict and rigid.
Then the gentle voice of Qinglan is coming: "The Book of Rites? The Meaning of Hunter" says: "Teaching the virtue of women, the words of women, the appearance of women, and the achievements of women." Zheng Xuan, the master of Confucianism at the end of the Han Dynasty, said: "The virtue of women is the virtue of women, and the virtue of women." Zhang Hua of the Jin Dynasty said: "The virtue of women is gentle, and it contains Zhang Zhenji." "Book of the Later Han Dynasty? Biography of women, Cao Shishu's wife" says: "The ritual is leisurely and tranquil. Keeping integrity and neatness, doing one's own shame, and having a law for movement and stillness is called the virtue of women." The students think that this virtue of women means to be filial to the old and aunt, taking care of husbands and children, regulating daughters-in-law, raising daughters-in-law, and even harmony with relatives and restraining servants and maids. In a nutshell, those who are stern, those who teach others and often kill them are not the virtue of women."
Xiaoqing couldn't help laughing outside, almost laughing out loud, and then quickly covered her mouth. But her face was full of smiles.
This female official Zheng is very rigid and harsh. Qinglan has suffered a lot these days. She must be very dissatisfied. This is clearly a secret mockery of female official Zheng.
When she thought that she must be like a little fox who had stolen a chicken or not, she was discovered by her owner. Xiaoqing wanted to laugh.
But the female official Zheng didn't know if she had been in the palace for too long and her head was a little bad, but she didn't hear it. Instead, she praised with relief: "Yes, Qinglan, you have a high understanding and your answer is very good."
"Okay, the lecture this morning is over. I have a booklet here, you can take a look at it yourself."
"Teacher walks slowly, and the students will see the teacher!" Qinglan said sweetly, sending Female Official Zheng out with great respect.
Mrs. Zheng is a middle-aged woman in her forties. She is not very good-looking, with a stern face and looks very strict. Xiaoqing was also afraid of her, so she quickly stood aside, lowered her head, and said obediently: "Hello Mrs. Zheng!"
"Yes!" The female official Zheng responded, turned around and said with relief: "Okay, Qinglan, go back, you kid, you are so sensible!"
When the female official Zheng walked away, Qinglan and Xiaoqing looked at each other, and the two quickly rushed into the room. Then, an uncontrollable laughter broke out in the room.
"Miss, what is this?" Xiaoqing laughed enough. Seeing a booklet on the table, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Ah! Don't look!" Qinglan's face changed. Before she could stop her, Xiaoqing turned the booklet open.
"Oh, why is this?" Xiaoqing blushed and went to see Dai Qinglan.
Dai Qinglan's face was covered with red clouds and said cowardly: "How could I know that Ms. Zheng gave it back to this?"
Xiaoqing became a little bolder and laughed: "Miss, why don't we have a look together?"
Dai Qinglan gave her a blank look: "Look together and watch together."
The two got together and watched carefully.
Turning on the first page, the painting is a luxurious and magnificent room with a lush yellow stone floor and landscape paintings hanging on the walls. The magnificent imperial hall is elegant. In the middle is a huge arhat couch with green pillows and goose yellow satin bedding. A man stood in front of the bed, his pants below had slid to his ankles, but he was still wearing a green dress. A woman's legs were tightly hung around his waist and his arms were wrapped around his neck. The man hugged the woman's arms with both hands and held her in the air. The woman's snow buttocks were raised, her breasts were half exposed, but she was still wearing red clothes.
The painter is extremely delicate and delicate. The intoxicated expression on the man's face, sweat beads on his forehead, the blush on his face, slightly narrowed eyes, and the half-open cherry mouth vividly portray their expressions at this moment. Seeing this scene, it can even make people feel that they are still moving. The angle of the picture is from one side, the man's huge and hard sun, the woman's fair but black haired lower body, and even the tender red lips that are opened can be seen clearly.
What makes people blush and hot is that behind the man, a woman dressed as a maid, knelt on the ground, pulled her butt away and buried her head. One hand was stretched down to her, but the picture ended when her half of her body. How it was unknown, leaving people with great room for imagination.
The treasures in this palace are indeed extraordinary, vivid, delicate and realistic, making people's heart beat faster.
Qinglan pointed to the man's butt, looked at Xiaoqing with a smile, and said in a narrow voice: "Look, this is what you do in the future!"
"I'm not!" Xiao Qingda was embarrassed: "How dirty this is!"
Seeing Qinglan still saying that, she quickly changed the subject and said, "Miss, I saw Mr. Lian coming just now. I thought I had discussed the wedding with the master. Hehe, if you two get married, you will be like this every night..."
This time it was Qinglan's turn to blush, but she was not willing to be outdone: "Then I will tell him, hurry up and let you come from behind..."
The two of them became a fuss.
