After sending Xie Yan away, Luo Yun turned around and summoned brother and sister Su and Luo Jinyan, and then sent someone out of the city to call back Luo Jinxing, who was in the army.
"Dad, what happened when someone called me back in such a hurry?" Luo Jinxing strode into the lobby and asked aloud as soon as one leg crossed the threshold.
Nowadays, most of the affairs of the army are left to him. Correspondingly, if there are no major matters in the palace, he does not have to interfere with the affairs of the government.
Luo Yun glanced at him and said, "Sit down."
Luo Jinxing was stunned for a moment, looked at his eldest brother and sister, and then at Su who was sitting aside, "Is something really wrong?"
Luo Yundao: "I have already discussed with Xie Yan and will hold a wedding for him and Yao Yao in half a month."
"What?!" No one else said anything, but Luo Jinxing jumped up and said, "No! I don't agree!"
Only after he was furious did he react and looked at the others who looked calm, "Brother, mother, you..."
Luo Jinxing stared at his eldest brother in disbelief. How could he marry a girl in such a hurry?
Their family and Xie Yan were not the kind of people who had a tacit understanding for a long time and had prepared everything just waiting for the betrothal to get married.
Half a month is enough time to prepare what?
Luo Jinyan sighed softly and looked at his father. He didn't want to explain this to his brother because he himself wasn't very happy either.
Finally, Su Shi spoke up and softly told the whole story.
After listening to Su's explanation, Luo Jinxing slowly sat back, but his face was still a little gloomy.
Luo Jinxing looked up at Luo Junyao, who was sitting on the side, and couldn't help but glared at Luo Jinyan. If his eldest brother hadn't agreed to let Yaoyao and Xie Yan get engaged, how could he have encountered such a mess?
"This... shake is too unfair." Luo Jinxing muttered.
Luo Yun sighed and said: "There is no other way at the moment. Let's not talk about the Empress Dowager. Once the Empress Dowager passes away, the wedding date will be moved to three years later."
Luo Jinxing curled his lips and thought to himself: There's nothing wrong with that. It's not like our Luo family can't afford to raise a girl.
This was not said out loud after all. Luo Jinxing was just an upright character and not completely unconventional.
Although it can be said that things happened for a reason, it is not a good reputation in Miss Yong's family when she is twenty years old and has not yet left the court.
More importantly, as long as they are not married for a day, the Luo family and the Prince Regent's Palace cannot be regarded as a legitimate family. There are many things that are difficult for each other to interfere with, and there are too many things that will happen in three years that are too uncontrollable.
Luo Jinxing didn't care what would happen to Xie Yan in the past three years, but he couldn't care less about what would happen to his future brother-in-law.
Once the two families are officially married, no matter what they do, it will be legitimate. In this way, whether it is the Luo family or the Regent's Palace, whatever they want to do will be done with half the effort.
Luo Jinxing couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he looked at his sister.
Although it was Yaoyao who fell in love with Xie Yan, her father and brother would never force her to marry Xie Yan if she didn't want to. But it is probably impossible to say that her father and eldest brother agreed to marry Xie Yan without any political considerations.
.
Luo Junyao tilted his head and looked at his second brother, unable to help but feel a little amused.
Luo Jinxing is too easy for people to see through, and he is also too serious.
What's this?
It is naturally a very simple thing for her to like Xie Yan, but before she wants to marry Xie Yan, she must consider whether the marriage will be detrimental to the Luo family.
Love that is 100% purely maintained by emotion and stays together even if the family is destroyed and the earth is shattered is indeed great.
However, for Luo Junyao, it was unnecessary.
She would naturally be happy to be with Xie Yan, but she wouldn't die if she couldn't.
If you feel that this relationship is not pure just because of this, then no one will have to live.
Luo Jinxing looked up and found his sister looking at him with a smile, and couldn't help but be startled.
Luo Junyao blinked at him and said, "Second brother, don't worry, I'm fine."
Luo Jinxing sighed in his heart, then looked up and said to Luo Yunde, "Dad, since you already know that the Queen Mother's illness will never be cured, why are you so happy? Isn't this just putting the shake on the fire?"
Luo Yun glanced at him, "The reason for being happy is just that the Empress Dowager wants to use this to get Xie Yan to get married in advance. Except for Qin Tianjian and Master Mingguang, she will not mention it to anyone else. Now that the Empress Dowager has woken up,
Naturally, there will be no mention of any surprises. Tomorrow the Empress Dowager will issue an edict to specify a wedding date for them, which will be October 15th."
Luo Jinxing frowned, "October 15th." It is indeed only half a month away.
Luo Jinyan said: "October 15th was the day when the Empress Dowager and Emperor Gaozu got married. It happened to be one of the best auspicious days in the near future calculated by Qintian Monitoring. The Empress Dowager wanted to see her nephew here before she died.
We will get married in one day. I hope that the regent and Yaoyao will support each other and never leave each other like she and Gaozu did back then."
Luo Jinxing was speechless for a moment. If he had explained the situation of the Empress Dowager from the beginning, Yaoyao would not be blamed for the Empress Dowager's subsequent death. This was not a surprise, but the fulfillment of the Empress Dowager's wish.
In addition, the Empress Dowager personally designated Xie Yan and Yao Yao to get married on this day, which also illustrates the Empress Dowager's attitude towards Yao Yao and this marriage.
Although it will inevitably arouse the jealousy of many people, it can also be said to be quite sincere.
Even, in the eyes of outsiders, this was the royal family that had wronged the Luo family.
After all, it would not be too much to prepare for the marriage of the Luo family girl for a year. Isn’t it wrong to be in such a hurry now?
Su said softly: "Now that it's been decided, let's not worry about these things for now. Half a month is really short, and we have to get busy. Shake, from now on you will stay at home, and the academy will be there.
Don’t go there yet.”
Luo Junyao nodded slightly.
"Mother, how are you preparing the dowry for Yaoyao?" Luo Jinyan asked.
Su Shi said: "I have also been slowly packing up in the past two years. The things my cousin left behind have always been sealed in the warehouse and can be used when they are taken out. There are also people taking care of the shops, land and village. It is not a difficult task. Fei
The time is not for these things, but for the furniture and jewelry that I had planned to have skilled craftsmen build, and also to collect gems, silks, spices, etc. from all over the place."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Large items such as real estate, land and shops are not just transfers of title deeds, and the silver and jewelry at the bottom of the box are also saved by wealthy families early on.
On the contrary, those things that are needed for daily use will become obsolete after being stored for a long time, and they can only be purchased closer to home. Among them, the most time-consuming and labor-intensive ones are the furniture and jewelry that a girl must use for her wedding.
According to the rules, all the furniture in the bride's room must be made by the mother's family and sent to the husband's family along with the dowry the day before the wedding. These things are the most time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Taking the bed as an example, the Babu bed used as a dowry for girls from powerful families is also known as the Qiangong bed. It takes a skilled craftsman three years to complete. Even if the Luo family can find many skilled craftsmen to work together, it cannot be completed in a short time.
of.
The most important thing is that even if these things are completed today, they will not be used in half a month.
Luo Jinyan said: "This matter is not difficult, just leave it to me, mother. As for the latest jewelry, silk and satin, you can get as much as you can. If you can't get out, just send the jewelry and jade directly. Anyway, it will last for a while."
It won’t take that much in half a moment, so do it slowly in the future to avoid the trouble of being out of date.”
Su nodded and said: "That's the only way. When the Queen Mother's decree comes tomorrow, all the shopkeepers in Shangyong will probably come to visit, and they should be able to select a lot of good things."
Seeing his mother and brother's calculations, Luo Junyao couldn't help but said: "Actually, the dowry is already a lot. No one can say that my dowry is shabby, right? If you can't get it at the moment, you don't have to bother so much."
Su said: "How is that the same? A dowry is a dowry, and most of it is old stuff, but these things are what you will use as soon as you get married. Most of the clothes and jewelry you used in the boudoir can no longer be used, so you don't have to prepare...
…”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Su immediately wanted to get up, "After talking for a long time, clothes are the key. I have to ask someone to figure out who are the most skilled embroiderers in Shangyong. They all have to be invited back!"
Luo Yun grabbed Su Shi and said, "Madam, don't be anxious, Empress Xiu is not in a hurry."
"Why aren't you in a hurry? Does the general think that a piece of clothing doesn't take time?" Su said, "You can still buy jewelry, but clothes have to be tailor-made. There is also a wedding dress!"
Thinking of this, Su Shi really had a headache.
They haven't even prepared wedding clothes yet! How can they get married?
Luo Yundao said: "When the Queen Mother's decree comes down tomorrow, we can go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Weaving Department and the Thousand Works Bureau to select some skilled craftsmen."
Hearing what Luo Yun said, Mrs. Su felt certain in her heart. She couldn't help but secretly laugh that she was still a little stupid after being a family member for so many years. She actually forgot that since Jun Yao married into the Regent's Palace, he was naturally considered a royal family member and called the Qiangong Bureau.
It’s no exaggeration to say that a skilled craftsman can embroider a woman.
Su Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine, but the imperial craftsmen embroiderers in the palace are good, but they lack some folk interest. We still have to find some embroiderers from outside."
"Madam is better at these. Just listen to Madam." Luo Yun himself knew nothing about these things, so naturally he would listen to Su's advice on what would be better.
The family of five sat in the study room and discussed for a whole morning before roughly deciding on these matters. Luo Junyao came out of the study room and walked beside Luo Jinxing, who had his head lowered and seemed depressed.
"Second brother, are you unhappy?"
Luo Jinxing raised his head and smiled at her and said, "Second brother is not unhappy, he is just trying to prepare some dowry for Shake Yao."
Luo Jun said: "I have seen the brochures sent by my mother, and there are already a lot of them." It is really a lot. Fortunately, she is the only girl left in the Luo family. If there are a few more, they may really go bankrupt.
Luo Jinxing said: "Those are all those my mother left for you before she was alive and were sent from the Prince Regent's Palace. Where are the extras? Wait for me. Second brother will go back and look through any good things. Give them to me!" said Luo Jinxing.
After finishing Luo Jinxing, he hurried towards his yard.
"..." No, second brother, would you please consider the fact that you are not married yet?
"Don't worry about him." Luo Jinyan said with a smile behind him: "He thinks he was not involved in your marriage in the whole process, and he is trying hard to make amends. If you don't let him make amends, he will feel uncomfortable."
Luo Junyao said: "I'm afraid he won't have money to marry a wife in the future."
Luo Jinyan smiled and said: "Don't worry, my father and elder brother will help him find a wife."
Luo Jun shook his head and thought, his father didn't look very reliable either.
It seems that I need to think carefully about it later and send some more to my eldest brother and my second brother when they get married.
She can't sit on the golden mountain and the Milky Way and let the eldest and second brothers eat dirt at home, right?
Luo Jinyan seemed to see her little thoughts, and smiled and knocked her on the head, "Don't worry, the Luo family is not as poor as you think. It is impossible to marry a girl and lose money."
