Tongtong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
Qingya whispered: "...I asked about it, the situation is very bad."
Tongtong placed the word 'Salesian' heavily on the paper, then shook his head, "Everyone has his own way of doing things! Xiao Wu always makes decisions before taking action when doing things. This job is different from other jobs, especially the job of raising children. You
Even if the thunderbolt method is used, can you keep an eye on it? Even if you do, how many people can you keep an eye on? This is a job that must be done with conscience... But who can see the conscience? The key lies in two
The word - system. Don't interfere with her. If you want to do it well, you can always do it well. If there are too many dragons, instead of controlling the water, if you interfere too much, it will create loopholes for others to take advantage of. "
Qingya stopped talking and talked about the ceremony attire for the crown prince's canonization ceremony.
Just as he was talking, someone reported from outside that the prince had returned to the house and invited him.
Link is back?
Tongtong threw down the pen and left. Lin Keyong was at the old lady's place. When he entered the yard, he met Lin Chongwen who had just returned. Before he got there, he smelled the smell of alcohol.
She smiled and asked: "Brother, where did you go to have a drink?"
Lin Chongwen stood still and waited for Tongtong. When the brother and sister were side by side, he said, "I made an appointment with Han Chengsong and had a few drinks together."
Tongtong asked in a low voice: "Brother, what kind of person do you think Han Chengsong is?"
Lin Chongwen pondered a little, "I just met him, so it's hard to say. But he is very gentle in his dealings with others."
Just when Tongtong was about to speak, Lin Keyong shouted from inside, "Brothers and sisters, please stop chattering outside and come in." Lin Chongwen smiled, "Why did uncle come back so early today?" Linke Yong's eyes dropped.
On Tongtong, the old lady also waved and shouted, "Come quickly!"
Tongtong had some premonitions in her heart.
Sure enough, after sitting there, the old lady took Tongtong's hand and kept stroking it, "Grandma still wants to keep you for a few more days, but... it is very important for the prince to start a family."
It's the same thing as a young emperor seeking pro-government after getting married! Getting married means that he is an adult and can take on responsibilities.
Tongtong looked at Lin Keyong and said, "It's okay. If you want to come back, you can come back. If you want to live in the East Palace, it's fine."
Link Yong then said: "The wedding date is set in autumn. Don't go out during this period. Just wait for the wedding with peace of mind."
Tongtong grabbed Link's sleeve and shook it. Link's eyes turned red, and he raised his hand to touch Tongtong's head. He had a lot of words hidden in his stomach, but he didn't know where to start. He had to warn him again,
"The prince has to be busy with the canonization, and you have to be busy with the dowry..."
I don't run around blindly!
Only then did Link look away from his daughter and look at his nephew, "Don't worry. It will be good for you to get familiar with the capital while you are away from errands."
Lin Chongwen said: "We are going to get married. If I, my brother, can't help me with the dowry, why should I ask the people below to do it?"
Link Yong looked at his daughter, hesitant to speak.
Tongtong immediately nodded: "I understand, the marriage must be simple. If so, the dowry must not be extravagant."
Ah! That’s what it means.
Lin Chongwen's face showed a bit of pity, "We only have one girl in our family."
Tongtong then laughed, "Brother, just buy some practical things, nothing extravagant."
Lin Chongwen suddenly wanted to go to the palace to meet the prince! The dowry may seem simple, but it still has to be given in private. This requires the cooperation of the prince.
Therefore, he didn't refute a word on his face.
In fact, Tongtong's dowry was not small at all. The family gave one portion, which was already substantial. As a sworn brother, Han Siyuan prepared another portion and took it directly to the palace, Seidong Palace.
As the Zhao Wang, the eldest prince has not yet left the palace to open a palace, and his resources are very limited. But Zheng Yuanniang prepared with special care and added another portion. Another queen opened a private treasury and took almost one-third of it as dowry.
, and put it in the warehouse of the East Palace. Just think about it and you will know how rich it is.
Xiaowu watched the things flowing towards the East Palace like water. She didn't stop at her feet. As she walked, she asked Qingqi, "I still have to check carefully. Where is the eight|nine-year-old, good-looking girl sold to?"
Gone? How many people have they sold out over the years?"
yes!
"Also, if we check further, we will find out how many children die in infancy every year in the Salesian Home in Beijing. How many children have died in infancy since Da Chen opened the Salesian Home..."
yes!
Qingqi whispered: "Actually, this matter needs to be reported..."
Xiaowu stopped and looked at Qingqi, "It's not because I want to take credit that I want to investigate independently. You have been dealing with those small officials for such a long time, so you should have seen it. They are slipperier than oil! It turns out that
, I think the harm caused by corrupt and bad officials is profound! Only now do I know that bad officials are worse than bad officials! Bad officials are bad in exploitation, bad in embezzlement, and bad in the open, easy to investigate! But bad officials are bad, bad
In the bones! They are people but not people, they are officials but not officials. In fact, it is not officials who have the most contact with the people, but officials! No matter how many, you may not understand. Just do it! This is
The matter is very involved."
Yes! But, "For the prince's wedding... what does the princess want to give as a gift?"
It’s still early, don’t rush!
On the sixth day of June, the canonization ceremony takes place.
The fourth master stood in front of the mirror in an apricot-yellow dress, and then sighed deeply.
The canonization ceremony was simpler than what Fourth Master and Tongtong had ever seen. But simple, yet solemn.
The canonization hall was completed step by step, and the fourth master became the crown prince of the East Palace of the Chen Dynasty.
As soon as it was over, Fourth Master officially moved into the East Palace.
The name of Dongsheng Palace was changed, and Emperor Wen Zhao personally wrote a plaque and hung it up. The Fourth Master was also the first prince of the Chen Dynasty. If there were no major changes, this place would be the Dong Palace for many years to come.
The canonization ceremony in June and the wedding date take place on the eighth day of August, so there is only two months left in between.
On the eighth day of August, people from the northwest may not be able to come back, but it doesn't matter. My grandfather is here, and the grandfather of the Han family is a great matchmaker, so this marriage can be done.
So, on the eighth day of August, Tongtong got up early in the morning, washed and dressed, and waited for the Fourth Master to pick her up.
The old grandmother accompanied him, with a happy face, but also a sense of sadness. This sadness was not towards Tongtong, but because she felt that her son was pitiful.
No, he was about to marry his daughter, and the house was full of guests. He seemed to suddenly understand that marrying his daughter meant sending her out.
It is not desolation if there is a child at your knees.
Now, he is left alone, alone. How can one not feel uncomfortable?
If he hadn't taken a liking to the original King Yong, he would have hired a new wife.
She rubbed her hand on her granddaughter's face and said, "You are different from others when you marry as a concubine. I can't tell you the truth in my grandmother's belly." Lin Chongwei looked at Tongtong: "Grandpa has a few words to say.
Warning to you."
Yes! Tongtong knelt down silently, and Lin Chongwei sighed, "The Crown Princess is not just the Crown Prince's wife. Therefore, as a woman, she cannot have only small love affairs. When she is young, she admires her deeply, and the piano and the harp play harmoniously. This is natural.
It's good! But if time goes by, the friendship weakens, the friendship changes, and if you marry into another family, your grandfather will let you and Li Huan go home, and you will be our girl at home, and no one can neglect it. If it is just
King Yong, one day, my grandfather will also say the same thing, and no one can stop him. No matter how old your grandfather is, he is still good at getting on a horse and swinging a spear weighing tens of kilograms. My grandfather will let you do whatever you want in your husband's house.
But once you marry the prince, the matter between husband and wife is no longer just a family matter, it is also a state matter. Others can quarrel, but you can't. Even if you quarrel, you can't let others know about it. The relationship has faded, and the husband and wife are far apart, but
You can't be like ordinary girls, letting your emotions run wild. You need to know that in addition to being his wife, you are also the concubine of the Chen Dynasty. You are a person who prepares the mother of the country and wants her to honor the world. The overall situation is the most important thing.
, give up small affections and small loves. With high status, you need to bear the weight of the world."
Tongtong kowtowed respectfully, "My grandson will remember his grandfather's teachings and will not dare or forget them."
Lin Chongwei then looked at Lin Keyong and said, "Is there anything I want to tell you?"
Link's tears started to fall again, "If you feel wronged, you have to tell Daddy. Daddy has a way. Don't listen to your grandfather. Daddy hopes that you will live happily for the rest of your life."
Lin Chongwei glared angrily instantly.
Link Yong still complained, "It's all your grandfather's fault for setting such a tight wedding date. No one in our family is here, how wonderful it would be if everyone were here! With so many people escorting the sedan, it's better to let people take a look at my home.
Girls are not easy to bully."
What is this talking about?
Lin Chongwen hurriedly said: "Uncle, please don't be mean, I will send my sister to the sedan in person!"
While he was talking, a hurried report came from outside: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has come to welcome the bride in person."
When the prince gets married, he must send his daughter to become his concubine, rather than the prince welcoming her out.
This means that Tongtong was born in the Lin family. The fourth master asked for it, and Emperor Wen Zhao granted it.
The fourth master arrived wearing a bright red wedding robe. Tongtong was carried out by Lin Chongwen with his head covered. In the main hall, he and the fourth master bid farewell to the Lin family elders.
Having said all that needed to be said, he kowtowed three times and stood up.
Lin Chongwen wanted to carry it again, but Han Siyuan refused to let him go, "Eldest brother of the Lin family, slow down a step, and I will escort my adopted sister to the sedan chair!"
Tongtong smiled and lay on Han Siyuan's back.
Han Siyuan warned as he walked, "If you have any difficulties, you have to tell me!"
Tongtong nodded.
"If he treats you badly, tell the second brother and he will beat him! Others are afraid that he is a prince, but I am not afraid. If he is half-hearted in the future..."
"Let's drive him down..."
Well! I won’t be wronged by him.
Just as he was about to cross the threshold, the eldest prince stopped him on the other side of the threshold, "Second brother, let me carry it!"
Tongtong moved from Han Siyuan's back to the eldest prince's back. The eldest prince sighed, "Today, my brother is getting married, and my sister is getting married. Although we are married into the same family, my brother's heart is really
Some of them are unpleasant."
"Brother!" She called out, then opened her left hand and placed it in front of him, "Brother, we share adversity and life and death together. My sister will never forget this for a moment."
The eldest prince then smiled, his nose was sore and his eyes were a little wet: "No matter what happens in the future, the eldest brother will always be the eldest brother. This will not change in this life."
Tongtong stretched out her little finger, "Pull the hook!"
Hook!
The fourth master watched from the side of the sedan chair, seeing that Lin Chongwen did not cry, but the eldest prince and Han Siyuan were crying, and then he safely sent Tongtong to the sedan chair.
The sedan chair swayed and entered the main entrance of the palace.
Tongtong got off the sedan at the gate of the palace, and the red carpet was spread on the floor. The fourth master took Tongtong down, and the two stood on the red carpet.
Walk in?
Yeah! Walk in.
Neither of them said anything, they just held hands. The ceremony officer wanted to remind the princess several times that she was half a body behind, but every time the prince stopped her with a stern look.
On the eighth day of August, many people saw the princes and concubines of Da Chen walking side by side from the main entrance of the palace...
