On the third day of the seventh month of the first year of Jiajing, Chen Jiuchou, the head of the Ministry of War, took five hundred cavalrymen and left the capital in a low-key manner, and went to Gansu to admiral military affairs to resist the invasion of the Turubans.

This incident did not attract much attention from the people in the capital. After all, Gansu is thousands of miles away from the capital, which is too far away for the people in the capital. Life has not been affected at all, so naturally few people will pay attention to it.

Moreover, the Turu Ban people have caused trouble once or twice. Since the Hongzhi Dynasty, the Turu Ban people have been constantly invading Hami. The court sent troops to conquer. The Turu Ban people immediately patted their butts and left. As soon as the court retreated, the Turu Ban people immediately made a comeback, which is really annoying and helpless.

Fortunately, the national strength of Turuban was not enough to pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty. At best, it was just a small fuss. So, not to mention ordinary people, even the court did not take the Turuban people too seriously. However, this time Mansuer made a little too much trouble. After occupying Hami City, he even sent troops to attack Ganzhou and Suzhou, otherwise those court officials would not bother to pay attention to him.

Compared to Chen Jiuchou's low-key departure from Beijing, another thing is that it attracts the attention of the people of the whole city, that is, the emperor's wedding, which is a major event that the people of the country are talking about and a major event that concerns the foundation of the country.

It is worth mentioning here that not all emperors can be called a big marriage, and only those who have not yet married before ascending the throne can be called a big marriage. The little emperor Zhu Houcong was only fourteen years old when he ascended the throne and had not yet married, so this time the empress was a big marriage.

Although the treasury is empty, the emperor's wedding is in slightest. Therefore, the new Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Sun Jiao tried his best to squeeze out a budget of 500,000 taels of silver. No one can shorten the emperor's expenses, right? What's more, the emperor's wedding is that there are many envoys coming to congratulate the country, which is related to the dignity of the country. The wedding naturally has to be grand and grand.

The emperor's wedding date was set on the tenth day of the eighth month, but from the beginning of July, the Ministry of Rites became busy. The Imperial Heavenly Prison chose the auspicious day of the zodiac. Taipu Temple prepared carriages and horses, Taichang Temple prepared rituals and music, Guanglu Temple prepared banquets, and Honglu Temple received foreign envoys who arrived in Beijing one after another. Almost the entire capital's state machinery was preparing for the emperor's wedding.

The young emperor Zhu Houcong was also very busy. In addition to dealing with the national affairs, he also had to participate in various sacrificial work every now and then. This kind of day should probably last until September, because there will be more sacrificial activities after the wedding. So, the more particular you pay attention to, the more trouble it means, and the emperor will have to be busy for several months after the marriage, which is really troublesome.

Compared to the little emperor, Xu Jin naturally felt much more relaxed. The day of the emperor's wedding was also the day when Mr. Xu married two beautiful girls from the Fei family. He married a pair of beautiful sisters, and the emperor issued an order to marry him, which was really envious.

Starting from mid-July, the Xu Mansion and the Fei Mansion became busy. Both families were officials. Although they were not as particular as the emperor, there were still a lot of red tape, and the "Three Books and Six Rites" were indispensable. Fortunately, Xu Jin did not have to do this by himself, and they were all handed over to Dabao. The Fei family also sent an experienced old woman to the Xu Mansion for guidance and assistance.

In the blink of an eye, it was the golden autumn month, and the weather was getting colder. On the tenth day of the lunar month, the entire capital was immersed in a festive atmosphere.

Xiao Yongfang.

The Fei Mansion was decorated with lights and guests, and it was very lively. After all, it was a scholarly family, and its foundation was not comparable to ordinary families. What's more, the two girls got married at the same time, so the wedding banquet was very grand. There were long queues of dowry items, which were arranged from the Fei Mansion Intermediate Courtyard to the mansion gate, and extended more than ten meters on the street. The scene was so grand that the passing people were amazed.

At this time, the female porridge and porridge in the backyard of Fei's mansion were almost all gathered here, and the people were very lively. In the room, Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang were wearing big red wedding clothes and phoenix crowns and clouds on their heads, and sat shyly. The two mirrors standing in front of them clearly reflected the pretty faces of the two women, making them beautiful and beautiful.

The mirror is a glass mirror with a full body, inlaid with antique wooden frames, which is very exquisite. It was delivered to the man's house during the ceremony (a big gift). The third and fourth girls each have one.

Speaking of which, the glass mirror is currently very popular in Beijing, but the price is too expensive. The glass mirror the size of an ordinary bronze mirror costs ten taels of silver. This kind of full-body glass mirror is even sold for 100 taels of silver, which is extremely expensive.

"Are the two girls ready? My son-in-law has entered the door!" a maid hurried into the room and asked.

Several maids who were putting on makeup for Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang smiled and said, "It's going to be done soon!" After that, he took out a red-headed cover to cover the two girls.

At this time, Xu Jin had already stepped into the Fei family's door with the festive firecrackers. The bride welcome group behind him was "a strong lineup". They were all 500 battalions of soldiers with big arms and round waists. It was definitely no problem to steal the bride, but they didn't know whether it was okay to welcome the bride.

Xu Jin first went to the hall to greet Ruyi's stepmother Zhao and Fei Cai and his wife. Since Fei Ruyi had no father, Fei Maozhong's brother-in-law received the ceremony instead. As for Fei Hong, he was a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and had to stay in the palace to help preside over the emperor's wedding today. I guess he was busy and I might not be able to come back even if it was dark.

After seeing the ceremony in the front hall, Xu Jin led a bride-welcoming team to the back house in a mighty way. Since the two girls got married at the same time, in order to facilitate the men's wedding, the Fei family specially arranged it in the same yard and came out of the same room to put on a sedan chair.

"Hehe, everyone, hurry up, my son-in-law is here! My son-in-law is here..."

As soon as Xu Jin stepped into the yard, the whole yard was boiling in an instant. Dozens of servants and maids were holding various things in their hands, looking over with malicious intentions.

"I know that if you want to pick up our girl, you have to pass our level first!" The maid Hongying held a feather duster in her right hand and put her left hand on her hip in the road, looking like she was blocking the road and robbing her.

Xu Jin smiled and said, "It's easy to say, Erniu will give you money!"

The guy Erniu immediately took off his burden, took out the broken silver and copper coins that had been prepared long ago and distributed it.

"Thank you, son-in-law!"

"Congratulations to my son-in-law!"

The maids and servants rushed to get the money, and they all laughed from ear to ear, but after getting the money, they continued to block the way in a very unkind manner.

Xu Jin smiled bitterly and bowed: "Miss Hongying, please give me a high hand. If you are late, you may miss the auspicious time."

Hongying smiled and said, "Young Master Xu married two girls in our mansion in one breath. I thought it would be enough to give some rewards. There is no such cheap thing. Brothers and sisters, beat me hard to destroy my son-in-law's majesty, so as not to bully our girls in the future!"

The girls immediately rushed up with a smile, and the paper rolls, feather dusters, cloth sticks, etc. all greeted Xu Jin. Mr. Xu was beaten to run away with his head in his arms.

"Protect Master!" Wang Lin'er shouted loudly. The 500th battalion's soldiers rushed forward with a laugh and protected Xu Jin in the middle. Some of the vulgar big-headed soldiers pinched the butt of the maid Hongying. The latter screamed and ran away with red face. The maids and servants immediately scattered.

"Haha, Xiaoma, it's a great job!" Qi Jingtong patted the shoulder of the "meritorial" soldier and laughed.

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, and straightened the big red flower on his chest and walked into the backyard hall. He saw that the old lady of the Fei family, Yuan, personally sat in the town hall, and the female family were all waiting around the Fei family's aunts and sisters. Fei Xiaoyu, the little pepper, was naturally present.

Xu Jin stepped forward and bowed: "Xu Jin has met his master's wife!"

Yuan smiled with his head in his mouth and introduced the female relatives around Xu Jin one by one. The latter kept bowing and saluting, almost losing a lumbar disc herniation because there were too many people.

Fei Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Xu Jin, if you want to take away the third and fourth sisters, you should recite two poems to urge makeup to urge you, otherwise the door of the room will not be opened."

"Yes, I've heard that my cousin is very talented and has great poetry. I'll write poems quickly."

"Hehe, my son-in-law, don't think about being confused. Although our daughter's family has little study, she can still distinguish the quality of poetry. If the poetry is not good, then my son-in-law will be ready to stay alone in the empty room tonight."

“Geeh…”

A group of young women followed suit and cheered. I have to say that when there are many women, their style is more bold than that of men.

Xu Jin still did his homework and smiled calmly: "Dear sisters, cousins, niece, cousins, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law will come soon!"

The female family burst into laughter in an instant.

Xu Jin coughed lightly and said, "I went to Beijing for the past year, and Chang'e was in the moon. Today, I am lucky to be a member of the Taijin Association. The fairy of the early education education went down to the makeup building."

As soon as this poem was released, bursts of admiration suddenly sounded around him. An elderly woman beside Yuan smiled and said, "It is said that Cao Qibu is very talented. Now it seems that our son-in-law is even better."

Fei Xiaoyu's eyes rolled sly and said playfully: "Xu Jin, your first poem to urge makeup is for the third sister. If you praise my third sister as Fairy Chang'e, you can't be more favorable to one or the other. The next poem also has to praise my fourth sister. If you don't like it, you don't have to accept this kiss!"

As soon as this statement was spoken, the young female family immediately followed suit. Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang in the room were both flying cheeks. The difference was that the former was joy and the latter was shy.

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly. The most difficult thing to deal with was his sister-in-law. He had to rack his brains to search for the inventory in his mind. Fei Xiaoyu, the little pepper, was proudly carrying his hands on his back.

"Xu Lang is not stumped, is it true that the fifth sister is really making things difficult for others like this!" Fei Ruyi thought to herself nervously.

Fei Jixiang was also very nervous at this time and made up his mind to say that as long as Xu Jin recited a poem to urge makeup, he would recognize him even if he didn't have the first one.

Fortunately, after more than ten breaths, Xu Jin's voice finally came from outside the room: "Last night, red candles were mixed with gold powder, don't make spring in front of the mirror. You don't need to wear red makeup on your face, but have eyebrows waiting for someone to paint."

As soon as this poem was released, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded around. Although Xu Jin's poem urging makeup was not as good as the first one, it had a more "taste".

Fei Xiaoyu covered her mouth and giggled, "Sister Four, have you heard it? Don't draw your eyebrows first. Xu Jin will help you draw them when you get up tomorrow!"

Fei Jixiang in the house had long been so embarrassed that his face was burning with fire, and his heart was beating all over. As the saying goes, "The red sleeves add fragrance to the night, and when he gets up in the morning, he draws the thrush in fine painting. The ancients described the love between husband and wife, and they all like to draw thrush for their wives, so Xu Jin was equivalent to "smearing" in public.

Xu Jin smiled wryly and bowed to Fei Xiaoyu and said, "Miss Xiaoyu, this poem to urge makeup is also written. Please give me a thumbs up."

Little Lajiao obviously didn't want to let Xu Jin go like this. She hadn't had enough fun yet, so she put her hands together and shouted to the room: "Third sister and fourth sister, are you still satisfied with your brother-in-law's makeup urging poem?"

"Satisfied!" The two girls in the room replied almost in unison, and Fei Ruyi added: "Fifth sister, stop making trouble!"

The female family laughed and made way for the way. An old lady was responsible for opening the door. Two brides wearing red heads and red wedding costumes walked out with the help of the maid.

Fei Xiaoyu's little pepper immediately made trouble again and stopped Xu Jin and said, "Xu Jin, it's too cheap for me to take away my two sisters so easily. Let's do this, there is a last level. Guess which one is the third sister and which one is the fourth sister. You can leave if you guess it!"

Xu Jin couldn't help laughing and crying. Is this a copy of the Star Master Tang Bohu's fragrance?

The two brides in front of him were all wearing big red wedding clothes and red-headed hoods. Their height and shape were similar, which was really hard to tell. Just when Xu Jin was in a dilemma, one of the brides coughed lightly, and Xu Jin couldn't help but lit up. It was still our family's Ruyi that hurts people.

Fei Xiaoyu pouted and said, "Hmph, the third sister cheated, this is not counted. Xu Jin, you have to write two more poems but fan them."

The so-called sansanthemum is a custom passed down from the Tang Dynasty. When the bride passes the door, she will use a round fan to cover her face. When the bridal chamber, the groom must recite a santhemum. Only when the bride is satisfied will she remove the santhemum fan, reveal her face to drink a pair of wine with her husband, and then go to bed will become a good thing.

Xu Jinhan said: "Miss Xiaoyu, but the poem of Fans is not written now."

"No, I have to do it now. We won't have the chance to listen after entering the bridal chamber." Fei Xiaoyu said domineeringly, and the female family members followed suit.

When people were under the eaves, they had to bow their heads. Xu Jin had to admit it and chanted: "The beauty of the boudoir is as beautiful as a bright flower. On the tenth day of the eighth month, we will arrive at my house. There are five colors of clouds, and there is no need for a fan to cover it."

Xu Jin's poem is just a fair and proper poem, but Fei Xiaoyu finally became kind-hearted and did not continue to make things difficult for him, but said, "Is there still one song short?"

Xu Jin chanted again: "Don't fan Luo out of the curtain to cover the spring mountains and block the handsome talent. If the reunion is like the bright moon, osmanthus flowers must be bloomed here."

After chanting, Xu Jin bowed to his sister-in-law, and Fei Xiaoyu smiled and said, "This song is not bad, okay, I will no longer make things difficult for you."
Chapter completed!
