Extra 3 Children’s Marriage (Part 1) (Group Portrait)
The emperor's wedding was finally scheduled for the eighth month of the golden autumn of the second year of Changhua.
This good day is one of the eight auspicious days divined by Tianjing and Wujue. After being selected by Li Suining, Wujue immediately went to look for Tianjing - hey, what a coincidence, this day was divined by him, and his
I was chosen, but the old one from Tianjing was not chosen!
Wujue came in a big way and wanted to show off himself. He raised his hand and knocked on Tianjing's door, but no one responded for a long time.
Wujue put his ear to the door frame and listened. He didn't hear anything, so he pushed the door open and entered.
The three-legged bronze incense burner in the room slowly puffed out fragrant mist, the windows were wide open, and the rustling bamboos made it quiet and peaceful.
The Taoist sitting cross-legged and meditating with his back to the window lattice is wearing a gray-white Taoist robe, his beard and hair are as pale as snow, and the thin silver whiskers held in his arms are slightly swaying in the wind, and bits of silver light are floating in the breeze of March.
Wujue was startled.
As if I had waited until my friend arrived as I wished, the whisk finally slipped from my arms and fell to the ground, like a farewell left behind.
After a moment, Wujue bent down to pick up the fly whisk, stroked it with rare care, and looked up at the sky mirror that was still sitting cross-legged: "It's not an illusion this time..."
Tianjing's expression was peaceful and peaceful, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was responding to a friend's question.
"Thanks to my glory, your life can be considered truly perfect this time." Wujue put the fly whisk into his arms and sighed slowly: "From now on, I will be responsible for guarding the destiny of the people and the country."
Outside the window, the spring breeze is clear and the white clouds are rolling. Behind the bamboo forest, there are white cranes soaring over the clear pond. The sound of the cranes chirping is ethereal and distant.
In the spring of the second year of Changhua, in the third month of the spring, Master Tianjing transformed into an immortal and passed away.
In April, the emperor appointed the immortal master Xuanyangzi as the master of Dasheng State, responsible for conducting sacrifices, assessing good and bad luck, and ensuring the fortune of the country.
This year the spring and summer had good weather, and the autumn harvest was gratifying. In particular, the granaries on Huainan Road and Henan Road were overflowing, and the people were all happy and excited. The officials also breathed a sigh of relief and could relax and show their faces.
Farming is the real great undertaking of the country. When the new emperor is established, the food situation this year is of vital importance.
Abundant food brings peace of mind, which is the only cornerstone of prosperity. On this solid foundation, the court was actively preparing for the emperor's wedding in an atmosphere of joy and dissatisfaction.
In July, the wedding date of Qiao Yumian and Cui Lang was also set, and it was set in October. The two had been engaged last year. The reason why the wedding date had not been truly settled was because they did not want to skip the emperor's wedding first.
This is the consensus of Cui Lang and Qiao's family.
Since the date of the emperor's wedding was set, happy events have been happening for various families inside and outside the capital. Firstly, they all want to take part in this boundless joy. Secondly, because of the turbulent times in the past few years, the current situation has been unstable, and the marriages of each family's children have been delayed.
All in all, there are a lot of people over 20 who still have no plans to get married.
Taifu Chu thinks this is not a bad thing. The situation in his family is not a bad thing for a while... However, it is foreseeable that the next wedding banquet at home will probably be eaten as a common meal. After all, there is too much backlog of inventory.
.
Fortunately, the old man can now hide and relax in his courtyard outside the city. Otherwise, the Chu family's recent marriage discussions would have been really noisy to death.
Even so, the old lady couldn't escape completely.
On this day, Qiao Yang took a break and came to see the old master for fishing. The two sat by the stream. Qiao Yang smiled politely and explained the purpose of her visit: "This time I came to discuss with the master the marriage between the dog and the lady of the noble house...
…”
"Looking at your absent-mindedness, I know you have other plans." The old lady snorted and asked casually: "Which girl is from which room?"
He has more than one granddaughter and even great-granddaughter in his family.
Qiao Yang smiled and said, "She's the girl from your mansion."
Mr. Chu: "How many days?"
There is more than one girl waiting to be married in the big house.
Qiao Yang then explained the ranking of this girl in detail.
Mrs. Chu said "Oh": "Xiaojiu..."
"Xiaojiu has a cheerful temperament, is good at painting, and is a good hand in settling accounts for the housekeeper. I like her too, but she is like her father and talks too much." Although Taifu Chu always disliked the children and grandchildren in the family, he randomly brought a little granddaughter out.
He also remembers his temperament characteristics clearly.
Qiao Yang laughed: "It would be great to be liked by you... I just don't know if my boy is so lucky."
"You don't need to be so self-deprecating." Master Chu held the fishing rod and said casually: "You are now in the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. Yubai's child has excellent temperament, talent and learning, and his future is limitless. I want to come to the door of your old Qiao family.
The matchmaker invited by the dignitaries had long ago broken through...Xiaojiu is considered to be her father's daughter. Although my family does not emphasize the distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines, in terms of various conditions, Xiaojiu got the advantage in the end.
"
Qiao Yang quickly became humble and showed her sincerity.
As the Taifu said, there are many powerful families who would like Yubai as their son-in-law. Some clan members also have this idea, but looking at each other, these two children are the ones who are the most attracted to each other... Qiao Yang is also quite happy to see it.
After all, secretly, he really wanted to be his in-laws with Taifu.
In Qiao Yang's heart, Yu Bai no longer needs to rely on marriage to help his career, not to mention that a rare and noble family like the Chu family is the most long-lasting.
"Marriage is a matter of parents' orders. You parents are all in agreement. Since the children are in love with each other, why bother bothering me again? It doesn't matter if you choose to live a happy life or if you make noises in the future, don't bother me again."
The Taifu waved his hand, as if he had no intention of interfering with it, but it was equivalent to a nod. Qiao Yang naturally smiled happily and agreed.
Then I heard the old master who was dedicated to purity say: "From now on, you will only treat me as a monk and don't come to my temple for mundane things. Then I can't be more pure..."
Qiao Yang pretended to say something but stopped: "Then the emperor's wedding will be held next month..."
The old lady raised her eyebrows immediately: "I am the one who is officiating. Without me, can her wedding be successful?"
Qiao Yang responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's right...here he comes! The hook is bitten!"
The fish were rich in autumn, and Qiao Yang's trip was fruitful. He bid farewell to the Taifu and carried the heavy fish basket back to the city in a good mood. Passing by Xingningfang, he did not forget to give two fish to Chang Kuo.
What Qiao Yang shared was not only the fish, but also the good news that her son was about to get married.
Chang Kuo-pi smiles but doesn't smile. Thinking of his brat, he can't help but feel a little annoyed.
Chang Kuo is not so anxious about marrying his daughter-in-law. In fact, his family has been worrying about the matter of marriage since last year, but he still has no idea about it. The brat from Sui'an has a strange attitude and comes to his door.
However, this brat refused to even discuss the marriage, let alone discuss it with each other.
The pursuit became too urgent, so the brat rushed into the military camp and saw no one for ten and a half days.
When Chang Kuo was getting angry, he heard that his son had come back, so he called people into the hall. Once the hall door was closed, people guarded him tightly. It was like being tortured in a court.
"Even the ice people say that even if you have to follow a mold to find it, you have to find a mold! It's better for you, you don't know anything about it!"
"Now we have everything we can say!" Chang Kuo and the eldest princess sat at the top, one on the left and the other on the right. Seeing Chang Sui'an standing there still silent, Chang Kuo pointed over and said, "Don't talk about others.
Yes, even I wonder if you have cut off your sleeves! If so, explain it as soon as possible, so as not to have to escort you to marry a wife, and then cause trouble and delay the girl's family, and do this unreasonable thing in a muddle-headed way!"
The eldest princess glanced at Chang Kuo lightly.
"I...I'm not!" Chang Sui'an blushed.
Chang Kuo was about to have another attack, so Li Rong stopped him and asked his son in a gentle voice: "Tell me the truth, have you fallen in love with any girl and already have a sweetheart?"
"He has a fart sweetheart!" Chang Kuo: "How can I not be clear about the son I raised? I think he is a piece of wood that has been fooled by fighting, and he has never gotten through it at all!"
As he spoke, he was inevitably upset, and suddenly he thought of what happened the day before yesterday: "My family is not the only one who is in trouble now. I met Yao Tingwei the day before yesterday, and when we talked about the marriage proposal between his children, I found out that there was also someone in his family who was easily unwilling to look at others.
Girl dolls are very difficult to deal with!"
The eldest princess wanted to put out the fire for her son, so she changed the subject according to Chang Kuo's words: "Isn't Yao Tingwei only one daughter? Now that he is serving in Zhongshu Province, what is there to be anxious about in terms of marriage?"
Chang Kuo corrected: "It's his niece."
Although she is a niece, Yao Yi has very few children, and his only daughter has no intention of getting married. Yao Tingwei is very worried about the marriage affairs of his younger brother's children, and because there are weddings happening everywhere, Yao only sends congratulatory gifts but cannot receive them back.
It is inevitable that adults are a little greedy and want to liven things up at home.
Of course, Yao Yi only mentioned this to Chang Kuo, and would not say it to outsiders.
Li Rong then asked: "Do you also want to become an official in the court?"
Chang Kuo: "Not at all! In short, they are all masters who don't make people worry..."
Li Rong's eyes turned slightly and fell on his son who was hesitant to speak. He seemed to ask casually: "Do you know this niece in Yao Tingwei's family?"
"..." Chang Sui'an smiled vaguely and nodded uncomfortably.
Li Rong smiled: "I have a vague impression that she is a very lively and bright girl. Ordinarily she shouldn't be so reserved..."
As he said that, he looked at Chang Kuo and suddenly suggested: "Well, why don't I find a matchmaker for the Yao family girl? I have a suitable son-in-law here."
Chang Kuo felt puzzled: "I haven't cooked my own meal yet, so how come I'm lighting the fire for someone else?"
Li Rongxiao stretched out his hand slightly to serve the tea: "Yao Tingwei is not an outsider. It doesn't matter if he is from his own family or someone else's. Let's light the fire first and then talk about it... He can be regarded as helping to manage state affairs."
Marriage of children is said to be a family matter, but it has always been a matter of state before marriage can occur. In a broad sense, it can also be regarded as a state matter.
Chang Sui'an wanted to speak several times, but every time his mother turned away to talk to his father, leaving him without a chance and very discouraged.
That night, Chang Sui was lying on the bed, tossing and turning all night, and when it got light, he suddenly sat up and made a decision in his heart.
Chang Sui An washes and dresses, and does not bother to eat breakfast, so he goes to see his mother.
However, after asking, I found out that my mother had a quarrel with my father last night and went back to the eldest princess' mansion before dawn.
Chang Sui'an said "Ah" and was just about to chase after the eldest princess' mansion, but then she remembered that today was the day to go to the palace to report military affairs, so she had no choice but to go to the palace first.
…
It was getting late. In the second room of the Yao family, Mrs. Zeng held her granddaughter, who was about to turn one year old, and nagged her daughter: "...Axia, I'm not afraid of you picking, but you have to open your eyes to pick first.
"
Yao Xia was holding a rattle in her hand and was coaxing her little niece. She felt a little frustrated when she heard this.
Mrs. Zeng ignored her daughter and said directly: "You could just see those things before, but this time you have to see them... The eldest princess Xuan'an said that she must go and see her no matter what."
Yao Xia asked in dismay: "Which family can actually persuade the eldest princess to come forward?"
"The eldest princess only asked people to convey the message like this, and she didn't say it in detail. But since the eldest princess came forward, I guess she won't miss it." Mrs. Zeng patted her granddaughter and said: "It's just a first meeting, it can't be considered official.
Maintaining a matchmaking...if it really doesn't suit your needs, then let's discuss it differently. But there is no need to negotiate with me on my trip tomorrow."
Mrs. Zeng treats her children tolerantly and casually, but they will never indulge in mischief when they shouldn't. Yao Xia knew this very well, and went out with her mother early the next morning.
Since the new king came to the throne, the atmosphere in the capital has become increasingly relaxed, and the rules for treating women have also been silently relaxed. When the children are discussing marriage, if they don’t want to rush to invite a matchmaker, they can make an appointment to meet privately in the garden or teahouse outside.
, is also a common thing.
The meeting place set by Princess Xuan'an and Mrs. Zeng was in the Listening Pavilion.
As soon as Mrs. Zeng entered Dele Hall with her daughter and maids, Yao Jin, who was ordered to wait, invited the Yao family's mother and daughter to the bamboo courtyard.
The courtyard has an elegant view, is spacious yet private, and Ms. Zeng found it very satisfying.
But when she saw the young man standing next to the eldest princess, Mrs. Zeng felt more satisfied.
Mrs. Zeng had only met Chang Sui'an many years ago in Dayun Temple and other occasions, but she didn't pay much attention to him at that time. Now she couldn't recognize him at a glance. She only felt that this man was really handsome and handsome.
A kind of extremely tough handsomeness, commonly known as "hard handsomeness".
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zeng's eyes are stunning - according to her experience, the flowering period of this kind of tough and handsome man is usually the longest.
Yao Xia, who had finished bowing to the eldest princess, raised her head, but couldn't help but be stunned - she must have walked into the wrong courtyard, right?
Chang Sui'an was also stunned. He finally saw his mother today, but her mother dragged him to the music hall and repeatedly refused to give him a chance to speak. But now this is...?
When the eldest princess saw the two people's reactions, she saw that there was nothing uncertain about them, so she smiled and asked everyone to sit down and talk.
During the conversation, Mrs. Zeng already knew that the person in front of her was the Zhongyong Hou Shizi, the great general Xiao Chang... So, the eldest princess was actually going to help her son?
But is this disparity too great? Why does she feel so dizzy? Could she be dreaming?
When Mrs. Zeng and the eldest princess faced each other with smiling faces, the hand under the table pinched hard, but accidentally pinched her daughter beside her, causing Yao Xia to hiss and suck in cold air.
Chang Sui An looked at her with concern.
Yao Xia looked stunned, a little excited and a little overwhelmed.
The tea and snacks placed on the small table exude a sweet aroma, and the musicians play the piano through the screen. Everything you smell and hear is pleasant and pleasant.
After finishing a cup of tea, the eldest princess smiled and said that she wanted to take a walk in the courtyard.
Mrs. Zeng quickly got up to accompany her.
Chang Sui'an and Yao Xia also followed out. As juniors, they followed behind, but were stopped by Yao Jin with a smile: "Mr. Lang, Your Highness has something to talk to Mrs. Zeng alone."
Although this was said to Chang Sui'an, since the word "alone" was mentioned, it was naturally inconvenient for Yao Xia to follow him.
After Yao Jin said this, he slightly blessed himself and went to the side to keep watch.
It was a bit rude to go back to the room, so Chang Sui'an casually invited Yao Xia to look at the bamboos.
He invited randomly, and Yao Xia accepted randomly.
