After the official business was discussed, Wang Wenqian invited the longevity king Yang Zhitang, Han Daochang, Feng Liao and others to stay in Jianyuan, northwest of Yangzhou City, so that they could discuss the marriage between Han Qian and his daughter more closely.
The marriage contract with the Han family also went through many twists and turns, and the daughter of the dignified Prime Minister finally became an old girl. Although Wang Wenqian became more and more powerful, no one dared to spread some evil words to Wang Wenqian, Wang Jun and his daughter, but the Wang family
Over the years, people have been gossiping behind their backs, let alone outsiders.
This time, longevity king Yang Chitang protected the matchmaker and offered the job, which more or less saved the Wang family's face.
When the longevity kings Yang Zhitang, Han Daochang and Feng Liao were having a private banquet in Jianyuan, Wang Wenqian also invited several elders of the Wang family who were in charge of clan affairs to accompany them.
At the brightly lit banquet, Yang Zhitang and Han Daochang formally presented the betrothal gift list for Wang Wenqian and the elders of the Wang family to browse.
Marriage in this world has to go through a whole process of three letters and six etiquettes, but after these etiquettes were followed, Han Qian and Wang Jun did not even think about sleeping together for half a year.
However, no one expected that the longevity king Yang Zhitang, as the matchmaker for the Han king, would really make several trips to Yangzhou for this matter.
What's more, Han Qian and Wang Jun had already had a marriage contract, and the Naji Nazheng rituals such as divination and horoscopes had been completed before, so there was no need to go through it again.
Therefore, the longevity king Yang Zhitang came to make a betrothal this time. In addition to sending the betrothal gift and the betrothal gift letter, he also directly sent the wedding gift letter and agreed on the wedding date. If the Wang family had no objection, they would wait until the agreed date of the eighth day of December.
When the wedding day came, Han Qian sent people directly to Yangzhou to marry Wang Jun, and the whole marriage was completed.
After the private banquet, Shou Wang Yang Zhitang, Han Daochang, Feng Liao and others stayed at the Bieyuan in Jianyuan. When they returned early tomorrow morning, Wang Wenqian invited several elders of the Wang clan to come to the back house to talk.
The betrothal gift sent by Han Qian was not unimportant, and the Wang family also had to discuss how much the wedding gift should be, or how to repay the wedding gift appropriately.
Although the etiquette in the current world was far less strict than in the later period, people like Xu Wang and Wang Jun were still not allowed to show their faces at banquets.
It was not until Wang Wenqian and several elders of the Wang clan went to the backyard to discuss the wedding that Xu and Wang Jun appeared.
"The thirty-two betrothal gifts are nice to look at, but they don't contain much sincerity." Mrs. Xu couldn't wait to take the betrothal gift book and said, "They say the Han family is the richest in the world. We can't marry the daughter of the Wang family so cheaply.
past."
Because of her birth, Mrs. Xu could only be a concubine, but Wang Wenqian had not remarried in these years. The elders of the Wang clan could only pinch their noses and watch silently as Mrs. Xu regarded herself as a mistress. Seeing her unusual behavior, she could only
He frowned slightly, indicating that although Wang Wenqian was a minister, he should strictly restrain the inner house.
Wang Wenqian turned a blind eye to the opinions of many clan elders; after all, compared to the clan elders, Xu's quarrel with him made him even more uneasy.
Thirty-two carried the betrothal gift according to the ancient ritual requirements, with cakes and seafood,
The three animals, mainly wine, fruit, tea, sugar, silk brocade, and wedding candles and wedding bracelets, are naturally not worth much food, but the Han family is still considered a first-class prince and minister in the Chu Dynasty, and the betrothal gift is definitely not limited to what can be carried out and displayed.
These objects are seen in front of people, and more financial gifts are usually written on the betrothal gift letter.
The Xu family wanted to see if the Han family, which was the most wealthy in the world, and the famous Marquis of Guizhou Yang, would really keep the door open until the betrothal gift was only thirty-two wedding utensils.
"One Nanguling Iron Mine, one Nanlongqiu Lake Dam Manor in Nangu Mountain, two water mills, four water-powered spinning wheels, one Liyang Lianyuan..." Ms. Xu looked at the contents of the appointment letter and looked at it dumbfounded.
Wang Wenqian.
It is normal for the families of princes, princes and ministers to give property such as fields, houses and even street shops as financial gifts.
It's just that the properties mentioned in the betrothal gift are all located in Liyang County, Tangyi. Is it possible that the Wang family can still send someone to take over?
Although Xu was surprised, the elders of the Wang clan had already come up with an opinion in private.
The Wang family is now also a top-notch aristocratic family in Dachu. Although the family moved to Yangzhou after the Jinling Incident, their muscles and bones were somewhat bruised, but their dignity cannot be lost.
No matter how much betrothal gift the man gave, Wang could not accept it no matter what.
Whether it is the Nanguling Iron Mine or the Longqiu Lake Dam Manor, these will be included in Wang Jun's wedding gift and will be returned, so there is no question of whether to take over or not.
"Then these are written in the betrothal gift just to look good?" Mrs. Xu frowned and looked at Wang Wenqian and asked.
"This is also easy to do. If the gift list includes a certain amount of gold, silver, pearls and jade, you will have to add the corresponding gold, silver, pearls and jade. The clan is really stretched, and maybe we have to sell some of the land and houses to get enough," Wang Wenqian said, "Now
It’s convenient. It depends on how much room there is in the house. Just buy as much as you can and you’ll be all set. You don’t have to worry too much about the wedding.”
"This is different," Mrs. Xu said dissatisfiedly, "however much gold, silver, pearls and jade are written in the betrothal gift, and the corresponding gold, silver, pearls and jade are added here, these will be Wang Jun's personal money in the future - Wang Jun, you
Do you think this is true?"
"How long has Mrs. Ting followed Han Qian? Her brother Zhao Wuji is currently the general of Tangyi's soldiers and cavalry; Mrs. Xi is also the head of the Xi family. Xi Chang, a member of the clan, is appointed as the Sima of Xuzhou and the envoy of soldiers and horses. Xi Fa'er is also a general - this is how my daughter got married.
Tangyi is also single and weak, and his father will resign as governor in Yangzhou. If anything happens in the future, his father may not be able to make the decision for Jun'er." Wang Jun said.
Wang Wenqian raised his brows, but in front of several clan elders, he refrained from saying some words.
"That's right." After hearing Wang Jun's words, several clan elders thought it was true and clapped their thighs and said, "What would it be like if a daughter of our Wang family got married and was bullied by two concubines? Tell me.
Go, this marriage has been delayed for too long."
"It's useless to keep talking about the past. It's better to think of ways to deal with the present."
"How to deal with it? Is it possible that our Wang family really has to send someone to take over these properties? If Wang Jun encounters something in the future, he will be nearby
Can someone be consulted and dispatched?"
"Just to take over these manors, water mills, and iron mines, we don't need seven to eight hundred people. Besides, Tangyi doesn't tolerate slaves. Otherwise, we should send a few stewards to marry Wang Jun. As long as we buy a few hundred more
It doesn’t matter if you are a slave.”
Listening to the clan elders talking about it, Wang Jun said:
"Ninth brother Wang Yan, seventeenth brother Wang Che, twenty-ninth brother Wang Zang, uncles and cousins Huo Li and Huo Xiao are all sons of common people. Apart from serving in the clan, they can't find any official position in Yangzhou.
Half-time, when they heard that Jun'er was going to marry to Tangyi, they all wanted to move to Tangyi with Jun'er. In the wedding ceremony, they didn't want any gold or silver. Jun'er selected a hundred slaves from the clan and went there.
After arriving in Tangyi, they will be given good citizenship, and they will definitely listen to Jun'er's appointment with peace of mind. In this way, the wedding issue has also been solved. Jun'er will have someone available when he marries in Tangyi, and there is no need to worry about being raped.
Bully."
The clan elders looked at Wang Wenqian hesitantly.
What Wang Jun proposed is not too much.
The Wang family and Wang Jun's mother-in-law, the Huo family, are of the same generation as Wang Jun, and there are hundreds of descendants of the clan who have not been born in the fifth class. Wang Wenqian's appointment of his direct descendants is to follow the tradition as much as possible and arrange formal official positions for his direct descendants and nephews.
On the other hand, the capable concubines were selected first to take charge of clan affairs and command the family soldiers.
Although Wang Yan, Wang Che, Wang Zang, Huo Li and Huo Xiao were the sons of common people, they were highly valued by Wang Wenqian.
But then again, there are hundreds of children in this generation, and these five people marrying Wang Jun to Tangyi will not cause any harm to the Wang family.
In addition, there are countless refugees and disaster victims in Yangzhou. Even if Wang Jun brought hundreds of slaves, it would not be difficult for Wang to buy more than a hundred slaves to supplement the manpower shortage...
Of course, Wang Wenqian has to make the final decision as to whether this is appropriate.
Wang Wenqian's temples twitched several times, and finally he said: "Jun'er's consideration makes sense."
"Then this matter is settled." Several clan elders said in unison.
Several clan elders said goodbye and left. Wang Jun also wanted to go back to her room to rest. Wang Wenqian called out to her: "The wedding date is very close. I will also resign as the governor of Yangzhou and return to His Highness to seek employment. Why do you bother me?"
"Dad doesn't have the guts to occupy the position of governor of Yangzhou, so he still relies on his daughter to be careful and cautious?" Wang Jun curled his lips and said, "Dad will still trust the king's loyal adviser in the future, but Wang Jun married to Tang
As a queen, you have to think about your husband wholeheartedly..."
"So it seems that our father and daughter will turn against each other in the future?" Wang Wenqian asked with a wry smile.
"Dad, you can't beat Jun'er." Wang Jun raised his head and said.
Wang Wenqian couldn't help but want to slap Wang Jun with a book, but he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The most difficult thing to understand in the world is the human heart. Han Daoxun was brutally tortured and died tragically. Although Anning Palace was the culprit, in the eyes of everyone in Tangyi
Here, did your father plot against Han Daoxun? After you get married, you still have to be careful..."
