After New Year's Eve, the first major event of the new year for the Ministry of Internal Affairs is to prepare for the marriage of the fourth prince. Book fans also like to read: The Qin Tianjian combined the birth dates of Yinzhen and Jinxi to divine the auspicious date and reported it to Kangxi. After reading it, he had no objections, and with a wave of his hand, he decided that "September 15th is an auspicious day, and the wedding date of the fourth prince will be determined." The Ministry of Internal Affairs started preparations for the fourth prince's wedding non-stop.
It was already the sixth day of the first lunar month when the official decree was delivered to Ulanala's residence.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Fei Yanggu wore a python robe to patch up his clothes. Together with the minister of praise who presided over the wedding ceremony, he went to the east steps outside the Qianqing Palace to perform a grand ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.
"Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir." After the minister of praise read out the marriage contract, he handed the marriage oracle to Fei Yanggu's hand, smiling and congratulating him non-stop.
Although the status of a second-rank minister was already a high position in the imperial court, the status of the fourth prince's father-in-law would be the icing on the cake.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. Thank you for your hard work." Fei Yanggu nodded with a smile, and while receiving the metaphor, he stuffed a heavy purse into the palm of the minister of praise. Fei Yanggu, who never liked these crooked ways, wanted to do something for his daughter's marriage. It was held smoothly, and with Minrong's repeated instructions, it became a lot smoother.
"Sir, this is the list of wedding gifts. The delivery date is tentatively scheduled for three days later, the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, which is an auspicious day."
The minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who undertook the wedding sent the wedding order prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Fei Yanggu, and agreed on a date, which was the eighteenth day of the first lunar month three days later. No need for divination, I believe it will be a good day.
Feiyanggu nodded and took it with both hands.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he wiped the hot sweat from his forehead and prepared to leave the palace and return home.
Although it was only the ninth day of the first lunar month and it was a cold winter, other book friends were reading normally: But he had been sweating non-stop since he put on this python robe to replenish his clothes in the morning.
Isn't it just to marry a daughter? Is it possible to survive the battlefield? I shook my head with a smile and sighed to myself: It is really becoming more and more useless.
"Hey, isn't this General Fei Yanggu who is about to take up the position of the prince's father-in-law? Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. If you don't eat glutinous rice balls with your family, what are you doing in the palace? Oh... I must be invited by the emperor to have tea and chat. Really? That’s right, I’m going to be kissing the emperor’s family in the future, so it’s really hard not to follow the news… Haha…”
"My lord, what you said is wrong. The daughters trained by our generals are different. They learn to be merchants at a young age. Otherwise, how could the fourth prince be entangled with others? It's a pity that my daughter is a perfect lady of the Eight Banners." , I spend my days reciting female precepts, working as a female concubine, and am good at playing chess, calligraphy, and painting, but I have no chance to get to know the prince’s brother at all!”
The visitor who spoke freely was none other than Nu Dahai, who was dismissed from the post of third-grade military general by the emperor. Now he only has a casual job in the Ministry of War. He also likes to gather people to gamble when he has nothing to do. The other is Nu Dahai's casino. My partner, Li Mohai, is both a worm and a loser in the Ministry of War.
Fei Yanggu had always looked down upon them, and naturally he was also resented by them.
By the way, Nu Dahai and Fei Yanggu were from the same school. I remember that when Emperor Shunzhi was in power, the two of them started out as bodyguards and fought on the battlefield. They went through life and death several times. After Emperor Kangxi came to the throne, he praised the two of them very much and commented on them. His meritorious deeds were rewarded, and he was promoted several times. If Nu Dahai hadn't been confused and had trouble with Xinyue Gege, the emperor would not have given up his post as a military commander. Who would have thought that not only did he not repent, but he also got worse. Now, he, he Not to mention that the back quarters of La Mansion were in chaos. Nu Dahai himself was also addicted to gambling.
"Nudahai, seeing that you and I were both personal bodyguards of Emperor Shunzhi, I would like to advise you not to follow this scoundrel again, calm down and get your back house in order. Xu is your daughter.
You can still get a good marriage, otherwise..."
Fei Yanggu didn't finish his words, so he shook his head, picked up his python robe and walked out of the palace gate. Seeing that Minrong still had some friendship with Fujin, the direct descendant of the Tala family, they still had some etiquette during the holidays.
He did not say anything about the exchange, otherwise, how could he tolerate ignorant outsiders messing with Jinxi.
"You..." Nu Dahai had not yet thought about it, but Li Mohai beside him was eager to step forward to argue.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Nu Dahai? What are you two doing in the palace today when the court is off?" Prince Yinreng had enough of this drama and walked out from the shadows, with a fair and handsome face and a very harmless smile.
.Only the personal eunuch behind him knew that under the mask of the prince's harmless smile, his intentions may not be equally harmless.
"The prince is a thousand years old!" Nu Dahai and Li Mohai immediately knelt down and saluted when they saw His Highness the Crown Prince, who was the most powerful among the people.
"I just saw you staring at Mr. Feiyanggu angrily from a distance, but is there any misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding? Humph! To be honest with His Highness, Lord Nu Dahai and I just congratulated him a few words, but he reprimanded him. It's really annoying!" Li Mohai took one step ahead of Nu Dahai and complained about Fei Yang to Yin Rong.
The ancient trough comes.
Yinreng raised his eyebrows, and with a plan in mind, he invited Nu Dahai and the others.
"I didn't expect that my fourth brother's future father-in-law would be so ignorant. He has not yet officially become the prince's father-in-law, yet he dares to be so presumptuous. If the marriage is really consummated in the future, why don't you have your tail raised to the sky? I can understand your feelings.
.Well, I discovered a newly opened teahouse in the Japanese Palace recently. There are a lot of good teas in it. If you two are not in a hurry, how about you go and have some tea together?"
Seeing that the two fools took the bait as expected, the prince couldn't help but curl his lips, and took the lead in walking in front of the two of them, heading outside the palace.
Fourth brother, fourth brother, what kind of gift should second brother give you? I'm looking forward to it...hehe...
……………
"Master, when the prince came out of the palace, he met Nu Dahai and Li Mohai. He invited them to leave the palace together. The direction is Xiteng Tea House. Do you need your subordinates to inform Qi Wu?" Qi Yi appeared silently.
Behind Yinzhen, he lowered his head and reported what he had just seen.
"Well, I told Qiwu to try to remember all the conversations between the prince and those two people. Book fans also like to read:." Yinzhen gave the order without raising his head. He didn't want the marriage he finally sought to happen.
Any changes, even for the prince, are not allowed to cause trouble.
"I understand." Qi nodded and accepted the instruction, then quickly disappeared behind Yinzhen.
"Ying, your men are getting better and better. It's time to add more people." Yinzhen put down the book in his hand and smiled lightly behind him.
The personal secret guard, oh, no, now I should also add a title: the secret guard chief - Qi Ying, helplessly appeared.
"Master, my subordinates are supposed to only protect the master personally. Now I am asking my subordinates to train these novices who have no martial arts background. It is really..."
"You also said that you are a subordinate and I am the master, so you just listen to my orders. Or... there is actually a big master behind you who needs to obey orders?" Yinzhen simply leaned back on his chair and smiled at Lachi.
It is common for eagles to chat in a leisurely manner.
"Master!" Even the calm-tempered Qi Ying couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Yinzhen's teasing. After spending thirteen years with such a master who had no rules and regulations, he could not get rid of the edges and make a big change.
His temperament is considered to be extremely strong.
When the master thought about pulling him out when he turned nine years old and vigorously training those orphans picked up from nowhere, the main function of the Eagle Eagle had seriously deviated from the role of secret guard.
"To be honest, Ying, although we have trained twenty first-class guards, fifty second-class guards, and countless three-legged cats to guard the courtyard, it is not enough. What I want is one that can be spread all over the capital.
Even a reliable organization of the national information network. If you don't have strong skills at your side, it is equivalent to a weak scholar who hides secrets and will be exposed sooner or later and die." Yinzhen looked at Qi Ying seriously and analyzed.
Summing up his observations in the past few days: "I don't need to guess what the prince and Ming Xiang are planning in private. I have to make arrangements before the emperor finds out, so as not to expose Ming Xiang and his gang.
Simply start a riot. Of course, that is just my guess. I hope Ming Xiang will not be so stupid."
"But, Master, my subordinates are just worried that we have enough manpower. If someone is following the clues and finds some clues, they will come back to bite us. Other book friends can read it normally:."
Qiying's worry is not unreasonable. Yinzhen nodded in agreement, "So, the person I want you to train this time is not in the capital."
"Not in the capital? But..." Qi Ying was shocked.
"I know that you are going to refute the words "personal bodyguard" again. Don't worry, although my skills are not as good as yours, they are not bad. Besides, I have Qiyi and the others to protect me, so I won't be that bad.
You're a coward."
"Listen up, Qiying. I want you to set off for Longxi immediately. Someone will pick you up there. I will give you three years. Before I turn seventeen and can leave the palace, you must train a worthy team for me.
A special guard who is stronger than an iron wall."
As soon as Yinzhen finished speaking these cautious words, Qi Ying fully understood what Yinzhen meant. The master was considering the safety of the mansion behind the branch. Then he knelt down on one knee and solemnly swore an oath.
: "Qiying takes orders. Master Wanwang must be careful before his subordinates return."
Yinzhen watched Qi Ying spin out and quickly disappear from sight before returning to the desk.
This time, Qi Ying was dispatched from Beijing to Long, not only as he said just now, he also hoped that Qi Ying would train a group of capable subordinates for him, so that they could be put to use immediately after the division of the government. At the same time, he did not want to formally confess to Jin Xi.
, any outsider is present. Even if they are brothers and sisters. After all, it is such an incredible thing.
………………
Jinxi’s wedding preparations were officially put on the schedule after the Lantern Festival and started in full swing.
In fact, since the day of the palace banquet, Minrong had already racked her brains to raise the dowry after hearing from her daughter what the fourth elder brother had conveyed.
Over the years, with the income from "Guozhiyu" and the investment in several real estate properties in the suburbs, Minrong has also accumulated a lot of private houses. In addition, Fei Yanggu's salary over the years has become as high as that of the third prince Fujin's natal family.
, it shouldn’t be a problem to prepare a hundred and eighty bags for Xi’er. (To be continued)
