After the food and wine were put on the table, Princess Jinyang arranged for them to be served, and the guests and hosts were seated.
It's raining heavily today, and the temperature is quite cool in autumn. The dishes on the table are all delicious, including seafood, and there is even a jar of Jiangnan rice wine. Several people are sitting across from each other, enjoying the delicious food, talking softly, and the rain is gurgling outside the window, which is quite relaxing.
comfortable.
It's just that Princess Hengshan is still not in high spirits. From time to time she puts down her chopsticks and holds her chin in one hand, looking gloomy and sighing...
The princess has always been friendly to sisters. Seeing this situation, she was quite worried. She also put down her chopsticks, took Princess Hengshan's hand and comforted her: "Sister, don't be like this. If my father sees you in this situation, he will be worried about you for nothing."
Princess Hengshan simply snuggled on her sister's shoulder, her little face wrinkled, and said worriedly: "But who knows what Wei Shuyu's temperament is like? I have heard that not just one or two of my aunts and sisters were bullied by their husbands' families after they got married.
, what should I do if Wei Shuyu is the same?"
"What are you talking about? If these words spread, it will inevitably make people think that our princess of the Li Tang royal family is spoiled and not a good match. Don't talk nonsense."
Princess Changle said angrily.
The great ancestor Li Yuan had extremely strong fertility and had many sons and daughters, and His Majesty Li Er also had many daughters. This resulted in the Princesses of the Tang Dynasty becoming a relatively large group. With such a large number of people, it was inevitable that there would be a few unlucky ones among them.
The married consort looks gentle and gentle, but secretly he has a bad temper, and quarrels and quarrels are common between husband and wife.
But who in the world doesn’t know that His Majesty Li Er is very protective of his shortcomings?
He was just a son, he would be punished from time to time, but he was extremely doting on his daughter. What prince-in-law would dare to bully the princess when he is full?
Princess Jinyang was chewing fish meat in her mouth and interjected: "Sister is right, don't let the wind be the rain. The most bad-tempered prince-in-law in Chang'an City is your brother-in-law, but look at him and
Sister Gao Yang has been married for several years, when have you ever seen Sister Gao Yang get angry?"
Fang Jun had a headache, so he put down his wine glass and said displeasedly: "Your Highness, are you praising me or scolding me?"
Princess Jinyang knew she had made a mistake, she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and quickly poured food and wine for him, saying coquettishly: "Of course it's a compliment. Who in Chang'an City doesn't know that my brother-in-law is a real gentleman? He is fraternal and generous to all his wives and concubines at home.
, all the ladies of the world are very envious."
Fang Jun snorted and didn't argue with him.
Princess Changle glanced at Fang Jun with a smile on her face. Perhaps only in front of Si Zi, this stick that defied the sky and the earth could have such a helpless look...
However, she was most worried about Princess Hengshan's condition right now, and continued to persuade: "Although Wei Shuyu is a little older, it is precisely because of this that he has a mature temperament and is steady in dealing with things. He can better understand cold and hot, and will not be impulsive or irritable. Besides,
Well, the Wei family has a long history, and his father Wei Gong is a person who strictly prohibits rules. Wei Shuyu will definitely be fine, so you can just wait and wait for marriage to enjoy happiness, not to mention that you still have brothers and sisters here? Absolutely
I won’t let you be bullied.”
Princess Jinyang interjected again: "Sister is right, if Wei Shuyu dares to bully you, you only need to tell Brother Six, and he will obey immediately!"
Li Min, the king of Shu, was the "devil king" among the royal family of Li and Tang Dynasties. He was the most generous one. A few years ago, he made mistakes that angered His Majesty Li Er and cursed him: "Beasts can be tamed after training; iron and stone can be tamed after being smelted and carved."
, can be made into square and round utensils. But people like Li Min are worse than animals and iron stones!"
Such a guy who scares anyone who sees him is indeed the most powerful supporter for a sister in the family. If that sister is angry at her husband's house, she will definitely jump three feet high and knock on the door to give him...
Princess Changle glared at her angrily and snorted: "Your sixth brother is just imitating others. He regards certain people as role models."
Princess Jinyang glanced at Fang Jun with a smile, covered her lips and smiled.
Nowadays, Fang Jun has long become a legend in Chang'an City, and his deeds will be mentioned from time to time. When Fang Jun's eldest sister, Princess Han, and her husband, King of Han Li Yuanjia, returned home in anger, Fang Jun dared to knock on the door.
, the horse trampled the Han Palace, so frightened that the dignified King of Han did not dare to return home, and ran into the palace overnight to ask for help from His Majesty Li Er...
Enjoying Princess Jinyang's food and wine and serving her attentively with peace of mind, Fang Jun said to Princess Changle: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Your Highness Hengshan's situation is probably due to 'pre-marriage phobia'. Let her calm down."
, Just be full, it’s useless for others to persuade you.”
Princess Changle wondered: "'Premarital phobia'? This term is quite novel. What does it mean?"
"Well……"
Fang Jun thought for a while and explained: "As the name suggests, it is a certain kind of anxiety before marriage. When a woman is in the boudoir, she is getting married, and facing strangers, she will inevitably have some worries about her future parents-in-law.
Not getting along, worrying that my future husband will not be considerate enough, worrying that I will no longer be able to play as much as I did when I was not married... The accumulation of worries will make the mood reach a certain degree of depression, but this is not a big deal and only needs a period of relief.
, it will heal on its own without medicine, don’t worry.”
The situation of women in ancient and modern times when facing marriage is roughly the same. Even in ancient times, due to the constraints of etiquette and laws, the superiority of men to women, etc., the anxiety and worry in this regard would be even greater.
At least in later generations, the couple couldn't get along for various reasons, and the worst they could do was part ways. In ancient times, one marriage almost lasted a lifetime, and there was no room for "correction." After all, in this era, wanting to "reconcile" was not a simple matter.
Easy thing...
Princess Jinyang was full of admiration: "Brother-in-law knows so much!"
Fang Jun chuckled: "Of course!"
My brother understands that things have transcended the limitations of time and space. How can your little mind imagine this?
Turning to Princess Hengshan, he said: "Recently, the Navy has set aside a sea area in the Yuezhou Sea of Lingnan Road to fish for pearls together with the local county government. It was Hepu County in the pre-Qin Dynasty. The latest batch of southern pearls happened to be delivered to the mansion.
I will give twenty of them to His Highness every day as a dowry to show my love."
Princess Hengshan was not familiar with southern pearls and northern pearls. She just heard that Fang Jun said that he would give her twenty pearls as a dowry. She was immediately dissatisfied. She wrinkled her nose and said displeasedly: "Everyone says that my brother-in-law is the richest in the world. Who are you?"
The material is so stingy? It’s just pearls. It’s not like I’ve never seen them before, but I only gave away twenty of them..."
Fang Jun touched his forehead with his hand and said speechlessly: "My Princess, that is the Pearl of the South! Yuezhou has been the place where pearls are produced since ancient times. The pearls produced are called 'South Pearls', which are dignified, firm, and round.
It is moist and iridescent. It is the top grade of pearls and has always been favored by princes, princes and ministers. However, the production is rare and rarely seen. Throughout the ages, it is unknown how many people have tried to obtain a southern pearl but failed, and each one cost countless people's money.
Your hard work and life are hard-earned. Even the history books have allusions about 'returning the Pearl to the Hepu'. Isn't twenty pills too few for you?"
Princess Hengshan then turned from anger to joy, her eyes brightened, and she asked hopefully: "Isn't that very valuable?"
Princess Changle on the side felt a little embarrassed when she saw her sister looking like a "money obsessed" person. She couldn't help but hit her and taught her a lesson: "It's not just before? Nanzhu is not only used for decoration and luxury. Grind it into powder.
It becomes pearl powder, which is cold in nature, sweet and salty in taste, and has the effects of soothing the mind and soul, nourishing the skin, brightening eyes and removing nebula, plugging ears and deafness, removing putrefaction and regenerating muscles, and coating the face with pearl powder can make people moisturized, beautiful and beautiful.
Yan Shenghui, that is a very precious thing."
Fang Jun raised his thumb and praised: "Your Highness is still knowledgeable!"
The largest pearl on the crown of the Queen of Great Britain in later generations was the South Pearl produced in Yuezhou, that is, Hepu...
Princess Hengshan was young after all, so her worries came and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, her mood improved and the atmosphere at the dinner became more relaxed.
After a sumptuous meal, the maids removed all the leftovers and dishes, made a pot of tea and put it on the coffee table. Then they all left, leaving only a few nobles drinking tea and chatting, slowly eating.
.
Princess Changle personally held the pot and poured a cup of tea for Fang Jun. She thought about it and asked softly: "There must have been another strong wind and rain at the court meeting just now, right?"
She also didn't expect that so many things would happen after they said goodbye yesterday morning. She was once the daughter-in-law of Changsun's family, and she was also Changsun Wuji's niece. She understood Changsun Wuji's temperament better than others, so she returned to the palace.
After hearing that Changsun Huan was dead, he couldn't help but worry about Fang Jun.
