Liu Jin's mansion in the capital was bustling with activity, decorated with colorful decorations, and extremely festive.
There are so, so many people who come to Liu's Mansion to congratulate them. Most of the guests can't even come in to sit down, have a glass of wine or something, because there are so many guests, and only those with sufficient status can enter.
Mansion.
Of course, the Liu Mansion has given sufficient consideration to all aspects and directly booked several nearby restaurants. As long as there are guests who cannot go in for the wedding banquet, they will all be arranged to come to nearby restaurants.
Liu Jin is the former chief minister of the cabinet. The key is just to go home and observe filial piety. The term will expire in almost a year, and then he can come back again.
Based on Emperor Hongzhi's trust in Liu Jin, he will definitely be able to join the cabinet again when the time comes, and he can become the chief minister of the cabinet as long as there is an opportunity.
Moreover, Liu Jin is also a representative figure of the practical group, with huge influence on the government and the public, even the industrial and commercial circles, and the military. He has huge influence and huge connections.
Liu Jin's son is getting married to a Nanyang princess. Naturally, everyone wants to come over to congratulate him. There are too many people who come uninvited.
"Liu Qing, you must treat my sister well. If she is wronged in the slightest, huh!"
Zhu Houzhao put his arm around Liu Qing's shoulders, and then drunkenly warned Liu Qing.
"Forehead....."
When Liu Qing heard this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and was already sober from drinking.
He quickly and respectfully said: "Your Highness, I will never let Your Highness the Princess suffer any injustice. If she does, I will let you do whatever you want."
"Well, that's right."
After Zhu Houzhao listened, he nodded with satisfaction, then patted him on the shoulder and said: "Drink less wine and go to accompany Nanyang early. Don't let her stay alone in the room on the wedding night."
"Yes~ I'll go right away."
Liu Qing broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, feeling as if he was relieved, and hurriedly escaped.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really too enthusiastic. The key is that when his more than 100 princes look at him one by one, with that look in their eyes, how can he dare to bully the Nanyang Princess in the future? They must tear him apart.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Liu Qing who was undressed.
In my heart, I was also wondering if I had scared him.
Then he turned around and found Liu Jin.
"Old Liu, Old Liu, come and have a drink."
Liu Jin actually saw the scene where he warned Liu Qing just now.
I feel helpless in my heart, this princess is really not that easy to marry.
Perhaps for ordinary people, marrying a princess is definitely a good idea. The princess is not only beautiful, but also has a huge dowry.
But for the Liu Jin family, things like money are no longer important. They already have huge wealth, which is just the icing on the cake.
To be honest, I actually hope that it would be better to marry an ordinary woman, because then I would have more status in the family and there wouldn't be so many rules.
The key is that this Nanyang princess is so noble, and both the emperor and the prince love her so much. Even if Zhu Houzhao's son becomes the emperor in the future, he still has to be kind to his own aunt.
I am afraid that my youngest son Liu Qing will not be able to be strong-willed in the future. Fortunately, Princess Nanyang is more reasonable, knowledgeable and courteous, and is not an unruly princess.
Otherwise, not only Liu Qing would suffer, but he, an old man, would also suffer along with him.
"Your Highness, wine is not a good thing. You should drink less."
Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao and saw that he was already a little drunk.
He was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the princes, nobles and ministers who came to congratulate Liu Jin's house naturally wanted to have a few more drinks with Zhu Houzhao. They drank too much during this visit.
"It's okay, just a little wine."
"I'm happy, just have a few more drinks."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hands and said indifferently.
"Lao Liu, I heard that your eldest son recently gave birth to a son, and I just gave birth to several more daughters recently. How about we make a baby to get married?"
"I originally wanted to marry a daughter to your son, but in the end I didn't get any."
"Really, that's great. Thank you, Your Highness!"
When Liu Jin heard this, he felt bitter in his heart and cried for his newly born grandson. This son Li Qing had married a Nanyang princess, and Zhu Houzhao came to find him to marry.
But Zhu Houzhao had already spoken in person, so what else could he do? Of course, he had to be happy.
After all, he wanted to marry his daughter to his son, but the son failed to get it, so he decided to blame his grandson again.
It can be seen that Zhu Houzhao is still very good to himself.
Of course, the relationship between the two of them has always been very good, and they just had to go to a brothel together.
"Haha, just settle down. You can choose your son later. I have many daughters, and I have given birth to a few recently. Just pick the one you like. You can marry a few of them together."
When Zhu Houzhao saw Liu Jin agreeing, he immediately laughed happily.
His words also made Liu Jin sweat profusely, and even his eldest son Liu Xin couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. This person who married a princess also married several princesses to one person at the same time, which is what you, Zhu Houzhao, can do.
There is no way, Zhu Houzhong has too many daughters, many sons and many daughters. Zhu Houzhao actually doesn't pay much attention to them, many of them have only met a few times until now.
In the wedding room, Liu Qing came to the Nanyang Princess respectfully.
"Princess~"
Liu Qing saluted respectfully and was warned by Zhu Houzhao, but he did not dare to be disrespectful at all.
"Liu Lang, why are you so angry?"
"I still like you to call me little sister."
When Princess Nanyang heard this, she immediately said unhappy.
"I'd better call you madam."
Liu Qing looked at Princess Nanyang. The two had been dating for more than a year, and they could be considered to have deep feelings.
"Hmm~"
Princess Nanyang also nodded, then her face turned red and her hands tightly held a corner.
"Madam, you are so beautiful."
Liu Qing looked at Princess Nanyang, looked at her for a moment, and couldn't help but say.
"Fool~"
"Should we take a rest?"
After saying this, Princess Nanyang's face suddenly turned redder. The key was that there were several personal maids standing beside her to serve her.
"Hmm~"
Liu Qing nodded, and when the maids around him heard this, they quickly exited in a hurry.
Soon, the hibiscus tent warmed the spring night, and the spring night was short and the sun was rising.
The next day, Liu Qing and Princess Nanyang got up early. According to the rules, today was to serve tea to the father-in-law and mother-in-law of Liu Jin and Li Zhen.
The Nanyang princess combed her hair to show that she was no longer a girl but a married man.
"Your Highness Princess~"
Liu Jin, Xu Waner, and Li Zhen were naturally waiting early, and they still had to follow the rules. When the Nanyang Princess came, they had to stand up and salute quickly.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law~ there is no need to be polite!"
"From now on, I will be the Liu family's daughter-in-law at home, and you are the parents-in-law, so you don't have to be like this."
Princess Nanyang said quickly when she saw Liu Jin saluting.
The Liu Jin in front of him was no ordinary person. He was an important minister of his father's emperor, a good friend of Prince Zhu Houzhao, and a benefactor of their old Zhu family.
If it weren't for Liu Jin, Emperor Hongzhi would have died of intestinal carbuncle, and he would not have existed at all, nor would there be the current Ming Dynasty.
Why did Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao pay so much attention to Liu Jin and favor him so much? In addition to Liu Jin being very talented and an able minister in governing the country, the more important reason was because Liu Jin saved Emperor Hongzhi's life.
If Liu Jin hadn't advocated the operation to remove the intestinal abscess of Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi would have died in the 18th year of Hongzhi's reign. How could he still be here today? Moreover, even though he is almost 60 years old now, his body still remains.
Very tough.
Therefore, regarding Liu Jin, Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang actually told them when they were in the palace that they should be respectful to Liu Jin, the father-in-law, and not act like a princess or behave like a princess.
Of course, Princess Nanyang knows how to be polite and does not do this.
"Okay, okay~"
Liu Jin smiled and nodded.
I was relieved in my heart. Fortunately, the princess didn't have too much airs. Otherwise, I would be too tired to greet the princess every day from now on.
While Liu Jin was drinking the tea served by the Nanyang Princess, bursts of thunder suddenly came from the sky, and soon, raindrops as big as beans began to fall to the ground.
"It's finally raining!"
Seeing the heavy rain falling in the sky, Liu Jin couldn't help but laugh.
It has been almost a year, and now it finally rains. Although the rain came a little too late, it would have been better if it had come a few months earlier.
"It's raining, it's raining!"
"It's finally raining!"
At this moment, people everywhere in the northern land of the Ming Dynasty could not help but cheer for joy, because the land that had been dry for a whole year finally received heavy rain.
Raindrops as big as beans fell heavily on the dry earth, healing the cracked land in the blink of an eye. After a long drought, it finally rained. It finally rained in the north of the Ming Dynasty, bringing long-awaited rain and also to the winter wheat in the north.
It brought rain. Without this heavy rain, the winter wheat might not have been able to be planted.
