The brothers were watching the excitement when the third child came back from outside, sat down next to the sixth child, picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"Did you figure it out?" the second brother asked, and the younger brothers also looked at the third brother.
They knew that the third brother was going to deal with the boy who wore mourning clothes and pulled the coffin to act like a monster when welcoming the bride.
"Yes." Zhu nodded and said, "That boy's name is Fang Xiaoru. He is the second son of Fang Keqin, the prefect of Jining."
"Fang Shi clan?" Zhu Zhen couldn't help but exclaimed.
"It's Fang Xiaoru, not the Fang Shi clan." Zhu corrected.
"Fang, Fang Keqin, is he famous?" the second child asked in a muffled voice.
"It's quite famous. Their family has been famous Confucians for generations, and Fang Keqin is also famous as a filial son," Zhu nodded and said: "In the fourth year of Hongwu, the imperial court heard about his name and wanted to recruit him as an official. Fang Keqin named his mother
The old man did not want to go to Beijing, so he avoided other places and did not see the envoys.
"But you also know what the consequences will be if you fail to complete the tasks assigned by your father. The county is rushing like a spark, and arrests his in-laws. They will conduct a comparison every ten days to urge the pursuit. Fang Keqin had no choice but to be summoned to Beijing. Father
The emperor ordered him to take the civil service examination, rank second, and be appointed as the prefect of Jining."
"Fuck, this official is so easy to get..." Zhu Zhen couldn't help but sigh, our Ming Dynasty is really short of officials now. He can become an important high-ranking official and mayor of a prefecture-level city in no time.
"Don't worry about it. He has done a good job as an official. In his three years in office, he has been an honest official and managed well. His household registration has increased several times, and one county has enough people. In the provincial constitution examination, he is the best among the six prefectures. Last year, he entered the court and won the
He was praised and given a banquet by the Emperor Father, and he was called the best official in the world."
"What, what is Xunli?" The second brother asked because he didn't understand.
"He is a good and capable official, Mr. Qingtian." Lao Liuyan explained briefly and comprehensively.
"That's right, this person has an excellent official reputation and a great reputation," Lao San nodded and lowered his voice: "In addition, he was one of the officials who was captured and beheaded in the capital in this empty seal case."
"Oh, Ming, I understand." The second child suddenly said: "That Fang, Fang boy is here to complain to his father."
"This stupid Jining prefect is so unjust!" Lao San spat:
"Jining is an important water transportation town. You can reach Beijing in eight days by taking a boat on the Grand Canal. If there are problems with the accounts, it is most convenient to go back and forth to revise them. But he claims to be a law-abiding official, but he also asked his subordinates to bring empty stamps into Beijing. I think
Not a good bird either."
"Third brother, don't accuse someone of his innocence." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said with a smile, "I think that Fang Xiaoru dares to cause trouble to our family in the street. There is probably no problem with his father."
"Well, that makes sense." Lao San patted his head and said, "That kid has been rightfully complaining about injustice. I think the gang pushed him out deliberately to prove that the Kongyin case was an unjust killing of innocent people."
"Yes, they like to generalize and use extreme examples to illustrate general situations." Zhu Zhen nodded with deep approval.
The second child and the fifth child were all dumbfounded, and after a while they asked: "You, you guys, mean, that, that boy Fang is being used?"
"Of course, with no one to help, how did he get through all the security guards and happen to appear at the front of the wedding procession?" Lao San said with certainty.
"Who has eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard?" The second child stammered immediately and said eagerly, "You're tired of living, aren't you?!"
"I don't know yet..." Lao San said calmly: "That boy was very arrogant. He only said that he was here to collect the body of his father. I didn't know that today was the wedding of King Yan. He bumped into the wedding procession by mistake. Other
I can’t ask any questions.”
"He came very quickly." Lao Liu said.
"Their family is from eastern Zhejiang," said the third child.
"Dong Zhejiang..." The brothers looked at Lao Liu.
"Don't look at me, it can't be my master's instigation." Lao Liu said flatly.
"That's good." The brothers smiled in relief, "Then there's nothing to be afraid of."
"Is he being punished?" Lao Liu asked.
"No, what day is it today?" Lao San shook his head and said, "And as soon as that kid was arrested, his brother led hundreds of nerds outside the government office to demand his release, and threatened to beat the drum and report him if he was not released.
The imperial certificate. Liu Ying and Yin Zheng of Yingtian Mansion are both very big-headed."
"Yes." The three brothers nodded, expressing their understanding. On the big day, if someone beat the Dengwen drum, my father would definitely get angry.
"Where did his brother gather so many people?" Lao Liu asked in confusion.
"His brother is a student of Guozixue." Lao San replied.
"It's interesting..." Zhu Zhen heard this and said with a smile: "Brothers who fight tigers, they cooperate very well."
"But the more this happens, the more I feel that they have been tricked." The third child said quietly:
"A nerd like his brother, who is only 250 years old, has not succeeded enough and failed more than he has done. He is totally incapable of making plans. It is very possible that he really doesn't know anything and was simply used as a weapon."
"It makes sense." Zhu Zhen gave the third brother a big thumbs up, better than his crooked nephew.
But having said that, he is better than Zhu Yunwen, the guy whose head was kicked by a donkey. Comparing him with the third brother, who is capable of both literary and military skills and is very handsome, is really too flattering to the eldest nephew and too derogatory to the third brother.
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to ask the elder brother for instructions on what to do now?" The third child stood up and muttered: "Today is the fourth child's happy day. The elder brother will definitely let him go."
"It's okay, if you are as knowledgeable as a nerd, you will lose." Zhu Zhen said with a smile.
"That's right, just let him return home with a full load." Lao San said quietly and left.
"What, what do you mean? Do you have to give him a gift?" the second brother said angrily.
"No. I mean to let his coffin be used." Lao Liu shook his head helplessly, what kind of hell joke is this, Third Brother?
~~
At night, the newlyweds, exhausted by the red tape, finally returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, which was the former Prince Wu's Mansion.
In the dormitory, dragons and phoenixes were illuminated by red candles, bright red 囍 characters were plastered everywhere, and bright red satin embroidered dragon and phoenix double happiness bed curtains hung above the bed, creating a joyful atmosphere.
A hundred children's tents are hung in front of the canopy bed, and the bed is covered with a hundred children's quilts, which are the curtains and quilts embroidered with a hundred children with different looks. The emperor's family hopes to have many children and grandchildren.
Weddings in the imperial family are all about solemnity. Naturally, there are no rules about having a bridal chamber, but the etiquette is indispensable.
Under the guidance of the palace lady, the newlyweds first worshiped the gods according to Tang rites, and then saluted the ancestors of heaven and earth.
There are also beans, bamboo slippers, guios, baskets, and urchins on the table that symbolize the husband and wife eating at the same table. Every time the husband and wife offer sacrifices, they eat once under the service of the palace maids.
When it comes time to perform the 'Hexi ceremony', that is, before drinking a cup of wine, the two of them are basically full.
The couple drank another gourd of wine, completely satiated and thinking about what to do. The palace officials changed their clothes for the two highnesses, and then left with a smile.
I won’t help you with the subsequent process, please let the couple handle it by themselves.
I can't describe it either, please imagine...
ps. I have been thinking about the new volume, so these are the two updates.
