The Shangyuan Festival is the most grand festival of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, this year is the first year of Jiajing, and the first Shangyuan Festival after the new emperor ascended the throne. Therefore, despite the financial tension, the Ministry of Rites still arranged grand festive activities. The entire capital was decorated with lights, especially in the Chang'an Street area. Various lanterns competed for beauty. At night, there would be grand fireworks. The new emperor Jiajing will be present to the scene and have fun with the people.

However, early in the morning of the Shangyuan Festival, before the grand lantern fireworks party began, two major news spread in the capital. First, the Ministry of Rites issued an imperial edict in the name of Empress Dowager Zhang, and would choose marriages for the emperor nationwide, implement the first queen and two concubines, and set the foundation of the country early; second, the emperor personally issued an order to give marriages to the third and fourth girls of the Fei family, Xu Jin.

Everyone read that right. Zhu Houcong's boy was very enigmatic and even gave Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang a marriage. The recipients of the marriage were Jing'an Bo Xu Jin, and he also called it: Ruyi and Jixiang, and his family was prosperous.

These two decrees instantly set off a climax in the whole city. The emperor is over fifteen years old, so it is natural to choose a concubine after he chooses. However, the emperor actually married two girls from the Fei family to Jing'an Bo Xu Jin. Both the official circle and ordinary people were shocked by the emperor's imaginary "double-click"!

Although it is not uncommon for sisters to marry together, it is rare for those who are given marriage by the emperor. The most important thing is that the man already has a family of official families, while the woman is from a scholarly family, and the head of the family even became the auxiliary minister of the cabinet.

Will a prominent family like the Fei family be demoted and accept the almost nonsense marriage granted by the emperor?

The bystanders were shocked like that, let alone Xu Jin, the person involved, immediately ran to the Fei family to explain after receiving the imperial edict for marriage.

The Fei family's house is in Xiaoyongfang, but the two brothers Fei Cai and Fei Hong are separated and do not live in the same house, but the houses of the two families are next to each other.

At this time, Fei Cai, who had already been a Hanlin editor, was walking back and forth in the hall with a very ugly expression. In his opinion, the emperor's behavior was simply an insult, an insult to the Fei family, himself, and his daughter.

If Xu Jin had not been married yet, even if the emperor did not give the marriage, Fei Cai would be happy to betroth his daughter Fei Jixiang to Xu Jin. However, Xu Jin already has a real wife and is about to marry his eldest niece Fei Ruyi as a fair wife. How could Fei Cai agree to this situation?

At this time, the figure swayed and a beautiful woman stepped into the hall. It was Fei Cai's Yuan-friendly wife Lou Suqin.

"My husband is still angry?" Lou Suqin walked up to her husband's hand and said softly.

Fei Cai and his wife Lou Suqin had a deep relationship. When King Ning rebelled, he took great pains to write "Add to Capture Ning" in order to save his wife and children. He also went to Nangan to find Wang Shouren to offer advice, and followed the army to attack Nanchang.

Fei Cai was held by his beloved wife and said with a slight look: "The emperor is too much, it's simply... nonsense."

Lou Suqin said softly: "Don't be angry, my husband, live in this world, happiness is one day, and anger is another day. There is really no need to pay too much attention to fame and fortune. Why not be more open-minded and live every day happily and steadily."

Since Lou Suqin experienced the incident of being circulated by her family, her views on life have become more open-minded and casual, and she has seen through the "Buddha nature" of the world.

Fei Cai frowned and said, "What does Madam mean?"

Lou Suqin smiled and said, "Why don't you ask Jixiang what he means?" After that, he handed a roll of rice paper to her husband.

Fei Cai took it and opened it slowly. He just saw a corner and recognized it as Xu Jin's original sketching method. His daughter learned this method from Xu Jin during her time in Nanchang.

When the rice paper is completely opened, a young civil servant who is full of energy, holding a musket in his hand and riding on a horse appears in front of him: It is better to chase the remaining brave men and women, and not to seek fame and learn from the overlords.

"This is what I saw in Jixiang Study!" Lou Suqin said softly.

Fei Cai frowned and looked up at his wife. The latter smiled and nodded, "Famousness is secondary, as long as it is auspicious and happy, not to mention that this is a marriage granted by the emperor, and it is not too wrong to marry auspiciously."

Fei Cai was silent. He not only had no objection to Xu Jin, but also admired and even felt grateful. When his wife was caught in Nanchang by eunuch Zhang Zhong, it was the one who Xu Jin came forward to rescue him. Therefore, he was injured by the bomb and had a broken wrist and could not participate in the provincial examination.

"Call the girl here!" Seeing this, Lou Suqin knew that her husband's attitude had loosened, so she turned around and ordered the close maid.

After a cup of tea, Fei Jixiang, dressed in a dress, walked in timidly. Today is the Spring Festival and everyone celebrates together. The three sisters of the Fei family had already agreed to go out today, but the emperor's wedding imperial edict arrived early in the morning and the trip plan was ruined on the spot.

Fei Jixiang never dreamed that the emperor would absurdly marry him and his sister to Xu Jin. She was so panicked that she hid back in the boudoir and didn't dare to come out.

"Father, mom, you... are you looking for me?" Fei Jixiang was uneasy. She had heard from the maid's letter that her father was very angry about the emperor's marriage.

Fei Cai looked at Tingting and beautiful daughter in front of him, and then suddenly woke up. Before he knew it, his daughter was already eighteen years old. If it weren't for the stranded marriage with the Wei family, his daughter might have been married.

Fei Cai was still very satisfied with Wei Yang. He was handsome and knowledgeable, gentle and elegant. He was a good match in both family background and his own conditions. Unfortunately...ah!

"Jixiang, the emperor and Ruyi gave you a marriage to Xu Jin at the same time. What do you think?" Fei Cai asked as slowed down his tone.

Fei Jixiang's face turned red, and he lowered his head and whispered: "Daughter...Daughter is the master of his parents!"

Fei Cai said with a smile: "If you don't agree, my father will submit a memorial to reject the emperor's marriage."

Fei Jixiang twisted his handkerchief uneasy and said, "This... wouldn't this wipe out the emperor's face? It's not good!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Lou Suqin's mouth, and Fei Cai sighed inwardly. It seemed that this girl... Alas, that boy Xu Jin is really harmful. However, Fei Cai had to admit that Xu Jin is indeed very outstanding and handsome. If he is a daughter, he will feel good after contacting him for a long time.

"You go back to your room!" Fei Cai waved helplessly, and Fei Jixiang left the hall with a red face.

As soon as Fei Jixiang left, the housekeeper came in and said with a strange look: "Master, Jing Anbo is asking for a meeting outside."

Fei Cai raised his eyebrows. The boy was so good that he came and ordered: "Let him wait in the living room, I'll be there later."

The housekeeper agreed and left. Lou Suqin sorted out her clothes for her husband and said softly: "Xiao Xu probably came for the marriage. Tell me carefully, don't be angry."

Fei Cai nodded with a calm face, shook his sleeves, and walked to the front yard with murderous intent.

At this time, Xu Jin was in the living room of Fei's family, drinking tea like sitting on wax.

Before leaving that day, the little emperor said he wanted to give himself a surprise. At that time, Xu Jin was worried that this kid would create some unreliable things, but the result was that he was so badly killed by this kid this time!

Xu Jin never expected that Zhu Houcan would have a big idea and gave Ruyi and Fei Jixiang to him at the same time. Damn, this surprise was simply a frightening one.

Originally, Xu Jin could have directly rejected the marriage imperial edict, but there was still a wish in the marriage imperial edict. It was impossible to say that one was accepted and the other was rejected? Or should I use the smear liquid to wipe out Fei Jixiang's name?

In addition, Xu Jin also considered that if he refused, it would be even more harmful to the Face of the Fei family and Fei Jixiang, so he could only bite the bullet and take over the imperial edict, and then immediately came to Fei Cai to explain, asking Fei Cai to come forward to return the emperor's marriage, so that he would take care of the Face of the Fei family and Fei Jixiang.

Xu Jin sat for a while and saw Fei Cai walking into the living room with a dark face. He couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, and stood up and saluted, "Xu Jin has seen Uncle Cai!"

Fei Caidan said, "I don't dare to take it, just sit down!"

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It seemed that Fei Cai was very angry, but no wonder he might be angry if he wasn't there. After sitting down, he said carefully: "Uncle Cai, that... the emperor's marriage is not aware of it. I came to the door this time to ask Uncle Cai to quit the emperor's marriage."

Fei Cai was stunned for a moment. The reason why he was angry was largely because he thought that Xu Jin was insatiable and wanted to marry Ruyi, so he encouraged the emperor to issue an order to marry. Now it seems that this is not the case. He coughed lightly and said, "Ziqian, what do you think of the little girl Jixiang?"

"Miss Auspicious is knowledgeable about books and etiquette, dignified and beautiful!"

Fei Cai looked a little relieved and said indifferently: "Since that's the case, does Ziqian think that the little girl is not worthy of you?"

Xu Jin was stunned. The style of painting became too fast. He said juicyly: "This... I don't mean this. In fact, that... I just asked the emperor to give Ruyi a marriage. Who would have thought that the emperor would actually..."

Xu Jin felt that his brain was not working well, and even said something was not good!

Fei Cai turned a blind eye and said, "In this way, Ziqian does think that my family's auspiciousness is not worthy of you?"

"No, no, no, Uncle Cai misunderstood, my nephew didn't mean that." Xu Jin waved his hand quickly.

Fei Cai nodded and said, "It's better not to mean that, have you accepted the imperial edict?"

Xu Jin nodded, and Fei Cai immediately said righteously: "You have no joke. Since you have received the imperial edict, how can you go back on your word as a minister? That... Uncle Cai also accepted the imperial edict."

Half an hour later, Xu Jin left the Fei family's house like a sleepwalking, and Fei Cai's deep words echoed in his ears: "Ziqian, Uncle Cai only has Jixiang, a daughter. After marrying, you must treat her well. You must not be wronged. I will explain to my elder brother in person. There is also your aunt explaining to Ruyi, so you don't need to worry.
