Zhang Jun shouted loudly, "In that case, the old man will stay at Shao's house for a few days, and then return to Lin'an after Naji!"
In ancient times, marriages generally followed six rituals! One is to accept the lottery, that is, the matchmaker comes to the woman to propose marriage! The second is to ask for the name, which is when the matchmaker asks the woman's birth date and name to prepare for the marriage! The third is to accept the gift, which is It is to inform the woman of the divination and marriage news.
The fourth is the invitation, which is the invitation! The fifth is the application period, which is to set the day to welcome the bride! The last gift is the personal welcome.
At this point, the six rites are complete!
"In addition, there is one more thing that requires Mr. Shao's understanding!"
At this time, Zhang Jun opened his mouth and said.
"Master Prime Minister, please tell me!"
Shao Xun has some differences.
"Logically speaking, some of these six rituals should require Shen Tang to come forward in person. However, now that the Tibetan envoy is still in Lin'an, His Majesty has personally handed over the matter to Shen Tang. Moreover, His Majesty now values Shen Tang very much and often Countermeasures for the monarch, his ministers and the palace! Therefore, in terms of etiquette, Shen Tang may be somewhat lacking!"
Shao Xun was stunned, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Shen Tang is your Majesty's minister first, and then the son-in-law of the Shao family! He should put state affairs first! The Shao family not only understands this matter, but also fully supports it. If it is delayed due to marriage, It would be a huge mistake to interfere with state affairs! Furthermore, if Shen Tang can be valued by His Majesty, our Shao family will be honored, so why should we disagree?"
"That's good!"
"Prefect Pingjiang, this wedding is attracting the attention of the world. Please help Shao Mansion arrange the relevant matters as soon as possible! Later, people from the Ministry of Rites will also come in person. If there is anything missing, please directly inform the Ministry of Rites or complain to me. It will definitely not work. Something went wrong! In addition, although there is still some time before the wedding, the matter of sending off the bride needs to be considered in advance! If Pingjiang Mansion is interested, Pingjiang Mansion will help the Shao family to send off the bride. At that time, Shen Tang will be in Chongde Prime Minister Welcome and then return to Lin'an for the ceremony!"
The distance between Taihu Lake and Lin'an is more than 200 miles. All routes and points along the route need to be arranged in advance to avoid mistakes!
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will handle this matter properly and there will never be any mistakes!"
Zuo Jianzhang said with a surprised look on his face, "Help to send off the bride. This is the treatment given by the mother's family. Why can't Zuo Jianzhang agree?"
The hero and heroine are not here, so everything is simple and simple! However, with Zhang Jun coming, Shao Xun is naturally very satisfied! Although the etiquette is slightly worse, it is said that this is because his son-in-law is favored by the emperor, and the Shao family is also Glory, how could Shao Xun be unwilling?
The marriage was settled, and then, Diao Jincheng and others rested for a night, and returned directly to Lin'an the next day! As for the officials of Pingjiang Prefecture and Wujiang County, they also returned that night. There will naturally be a busy period next of time.
As for the Shao Mansion, they celebrated all night long first! Early the next morning, Shao Xun's eyes were red and he smelled of alcohol, but he was not sleepy at all!
The Shao family's house was huge, so Shao Xun directly chose a quiet and tidy courtyard for Zhang Jun to stay temporarily, including a complete set of servants, maids, etc.!
In the hall, Shao Xun, who was full of excitement, and a group of shopkeepers, officials, important servants, etc. all gathered together. Shao Youfu was also taken out from under the quilt. At this moment, he was shaking slightly sleepily. Behind Shao Xun.
"Everyone, I, the Shao family, are celebrating the occasion, and I have to trouble you all again! From now on, everyone's business should be handed over to others as much as possible, and all the energy will be devoted to this wedding!"
"Don't worry, sir. This is a great event for my Shao family, and it's an honor for us. If you have anything to do, please give me your instructions, and we will take care of it!"
All the shopkeepers laughed in unison.
"good!"
Shao Xun stroked his hands, "Later, I will make a list of the items that need to be purchased. Let's discuss whether there are any missing items first! When the decision is made, the shopkeepers will go and buy everything they need! This time it is
I, the Shao family, spend no expense on this rare and important event. If Pingjiang Prefecture doesn’t have it, I will go to other prefectures. If other prefectures don’t have it, I will go to other states. In short, I will never be left behind.
The name of the Shao family!"
"Butler, I will leave the shopping for the sundries at home to you! In addition, our Shao family's courtyard also needs some renovations! Later, I will withdraw two hundred thousand taels of silver from you. If it is not enough, you can come to me at any time to withdraw it!"
Although Shao Xun is known as the God of Wealth and has a huge wealth, his daily expenses, whether on himself or in his mansion, are actually not extravagant.
However, this time, in order to make his daughter's wedding a success, he would definitely spend millions of dollars!
"Don't worry, sir!"
The old butler smiled with wrinkles on his face. This butler was shocked. He has been in the Shao family all his life. For him, this is his home. Shao Muyu and others treat him as their closest relatives and juniors. Therefore, when such a happy event occurs in his family, the old butler
Why is the housekeeper unhappy?
"Blessed!"
"Ah...hey..." Shao Youfu, who was a little drowsy, was woken up by his father's shout!
Mr. Shao glared at his son fiercely, but now that he was happy, he was too lazy to scold him.
"First, you quickly send a message to your second brother and ask him to return home immediately! Now is the time for the family to hire people. Our Shao family is not very crowded. How can he not come back for such a big event?
In addition, you will leave home tomorrow! Go to Lin'an first, and then to Lianli City! After going to Lin'an, buy a house and bring some capable young men and well-behaved maids from home..."
“Dad, don’t we have a house in Lin’an?
Why buy again?”
"You bastard!"
Shao Xun stared, "It's just a small courtyard with two entrances, how can it be done?
In the future, when your sister and brother-in-law come back, they will be in Lin'an! Moreover, in the future, many people in our family will have to go to Lin'an as a place to stay! This time the marriage was granted by the saint personally, so how many high-ranking officials will pay attention to me
On the Shao family?
If it is not done properly, not only will my Shao family be embarrassed, but your sister and brother-in-law will also be embarrassed! This time you go, no expense is spared, and under the rules of etiquette, the bigger the better, the more decent the better, don’t you understand?
clear!"
"Well!"
Youfu nodded with a grimace.
"After buying the house, you immediately go to Lianli City and bring your mother, your sister and others back! If something goes wrong along the way, I will stop you!"
Well... as his sister's status became higher and higher, the old man's attitude towards his son once again regained the irritability he had not seen for a long time.
Then, in the following days, everyone in the Shao family became busy. Mr. Shao even waved his hand, and money was spent like water. Things needed for the wedding were continuously shipped back from all over the country.
