The first thousand one hundred and twenty-five chapters to marry (a)
In order to find a wife for her son, Yin Xiaoxiao put in a lot of effort. In the past six months, she personally went to the Mei family three times, and the Mei family finally agreed to the marriage.
Brother Lin's life-long events have been settled. The Liu family is far away in Sichuan, and they only rely on correspondence and official media, so I'm afraid they won't be able to impress the Liu family. Poor Brother Ting, he has been as miserable as an eggplant beaten by frost recently, and he has a sad face all day long.
Even Princess Mei has heard about it.
Xie Mingxi smiled faintly: "Fifth sister-in-law came to Jiaofang Palace yesterday to discuss with me that Brother Ting should go to Shu to propose marriage to the Liu family in person."
What?
Concubine Mei was startled and looked at Sheng Hong reflexively: "Brother Ting is leaving Beijing for Shu... Is this appropriate?"
Brother Ting and Brother Ji, Brother Lin, were born in the capital and grew up in the palace. Over the years, the emperor and the empress have been quite generous and tolerant to their nephews. But no matter what, they are the sons of guilty ministers, so how can they be released from the capital so easily?
The more Mrs. Mei thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She lowered her voice and said, "For safety reasons, we cannot do this."
Sheng Hong said, "After Mingxi and I discussed it, we have agreed to Sister-in-law Five's request. Three days later, Brother Ting will set off for Shu."
Mrs. Mei: "..."
Everything was done, and it was too late to stop him.
Concubine Mei was a little frustrated: "That's it! Since you and your wife have thought about it, you are quite sure about Brother Ting. Why should I talk so much and be a villain in vain?"
Sheng Hong smiled and coaxed his mother: "My mother-in-law only thinks about A-Luo. How could Mingxi and I not know it? However, Brother Ting grew up in the palace. Even if his temper is a bit irritable, it is still a thought.
He is a good and upright boy. The purpose of allowing him to leave Beijing and go to Shu this time is for his marriage. He will not have other thoughts, so my mother and concubine can rest assured."
"To say the least, even if he has different intentions, he can't do anything." Xie Mingxi took over the words leisurely: "Sichuan has Ye Changshi and others, as well as General Lian and tens of thousands of Shu soldiers. It can be said that it is as stable as a mountain."
Shu is the "home" where the emperor and empress have been operating for more than ten years. It would be a joke if just Prince Ning could cause trouble.
Concubine Mei was finally persuaded to calm down and stopped talking.
…
For a sixteen-year-old boy, it is undoubtedly an exciting thing to leave the capital alone and go to Shu, thousands of miles away.
What's more, this trip is to seek marriage to the girl I love.
Brother Ting was so excited that he couldn't sleep well for several nights. The night before departure, he had to hold a candlelight conversation with Brother Lin.
Brother Lin yawned again and again. When he heard this suggestion, his Jun face showed a firm refusal: "Pull you down, I've stayed up with you for three nights, and I won't pay attention to you today. You go to sleep quickly.
You have to set off early tomorrow morning."
The two brothers each have their own bedroom, but they have been close friends since childhood and often get together. In the past few days, Brother Ting has been too excited, and Brother Lin has also been troubled.
Brother Ting said with a shy smile: "Cousin Lin, it will take me two months to go back and forth at least. Maybe I will stay in Shu for a few more days. We two brothers have been here since we were young.
We are all together and have never left. I really can’t let you go, come here, let’s talk.”
Brother Lin: "..."
Brother Lin looked pained and helpless: "I'm afraid of you. Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"
Brother Ting was filled with anxiety and nervousness: "Tell me, if I go to Shu to propose marriage, will I be turned away by Governor Liu? What should I do if the Liu family refuses to accept the marriage?"
Brother Lin touched his chin, with a thoughtful look on his face: "If you go to Shu in person to propose marriage, and the Liu family doesn't respond, it only means that you and Miss Liu really have no fate. You'd better find another good match!"
Brother Ting: "..."
Brother Ting suddenly stood up, clenched his fists hard, and said categorically: "I will never marry anyone other than Miss Liu in my life! If the Liu family doesn't agree to the marriage, I will stay in Shu until the Liu family nods."
Brother Lin rolled his eyes and gave a friendly reminder: "It's okay to say such things in front of me. When you arrive in Shu and meet the Liu family, you have to be polite and courteous. Don't show such an unreasonable and domineering face at every turn.
"
If someone else said these words, Brother Ting would definitely be unhappy. Brother Lin said it, but he wasn't annoyed at all and agreed obediently.
After a while, Brother Ting whispered again: "Actually, I want you to go to Shu with me. I feel uncomfortable going alone."
Brother Lin sighed helplessly: "Do you think I don't want to accompany you? But my marriage has not been officially decided yet, so I have to take care of everything myself. I really don't have the resources to do anything."
"In short, when you go to Shu, you must listen to Commander Zhou and never cause trouble."
Brother Ting is going to Shu, and Sheng Hong specially ordered Zhou Quan to lead five hundred imperial guards to accompany him. General Lian's soldiers are in Shu, and Zhou Quan is escorting Brother Ting so that he can reunite with his beloved wife after a long separation.
Brother Ting nodded.
…
The two brothers chatted for half the night and slept for less than two hours before dawn.
Brother Lin's eyes were green and he yawned from time to time.
Brother Ting was not sleepy at all, he bid farewell to Yin Xiaoxiao in high spirits and went to the Jiaofang Hall to say goodbye.
Facing Brother Ting, Xie Mingxi always has an indifferent and gentle look, neither cold nor hot, not close nor alienated: "This trip is running around, living and traveling, you have to listen to Commander Zhou's arrangements. When you get to Shu, you
Then you will live in the Prince of Shu's Mansion. Ye Changshi will lead you to the Liu family."
Brother Ting is not afraid of anything, but he is most afraid of Xie Mingxi. In the Jiaofang Palace, not to mention how well-behaved and honest he is: "Yes, my nephew will follow the teachings of the seventh aunt."
After leaving Jiaofang Hall, Brother Ting let out a long sigh of relief.
All the cousins came to see him off.
A Luo said with a smile: "Cousin Ting, we are in the capital, waiting for your good news."
Brother Ting straightened his chest and said loudly: "Just wait! I will be back in two months at most."
Then, amid the laughter of everyone, he stepped forward.
Outside the palace gate, five hundred royal guards on horses were lined up neatly. The leading middle-aged man, tall and mighty, was none other than Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. It's time to leave."
Brother Ting responded loudly and rode quickly on his horse.
The group of people all rode fast horses and took the official road. They arrived at the Prince of Shu's Mansion in more than twenty days.
Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
Traveling all the way, Brother Ting's youthful spirit has been smoothed away a lot. When he met Ye Changshi and others who came to greet them, Brother Ting did not and did not dare to put on airs. He hurriedly smiled and walked up to greet them.
The people who stayed in the palace of Prince Shu were all the confidants of the emperor and empress. Brother Ting was a little impulsive and irritable, but he was not that arrogant fool.
After settling down in Prince Shu's Mansion, Brother Ting couldn't wait to go to Liu's Mansion to send a greeting note.
