Chapter seven hundred and thirty fourth preparing for the wedding
The marriage of Princess Yayang and Liu Xudong went so smoothly that everyone was surprised.
The new emperor immediately summoned officials from the Ministry of Rites, and chose the fastest date, saying that he wanted to get married in a warm and filial manner within a hundred days of the late emperor entering the imperial mausoleum, and that this was the last decree left by the late emperor.
This statement is naturally illogical.
Hot filial piety marriage refers to the 100 days after the death of the old man, not the 100 days after the burial.
And if a small family can hold a simple wedding, they will naturally have time to prepare.
But Princess Yayang is a princess of the royal family, and the marriage is very complicated. How can it be completed?
But no matter what, the new emperor issued an imperial decree, and the marriage must be prepared.
Fortunately, at the Ministry of Rites, many things are available in the warehouse. What is not available can only be purchased temporarily. If the quality is slightly unsatisfactory, there is nothing you can do about it. All you need to do is prepare everything before the wedding.
Princess Yayang also indicated that she would be simple in everything she married to show her respect for the late emperor.
Therefore, the Ministry of Rites was not afraid that there would be some oversight, and had roughly prepared a set of specifications. If it was not enough, it would make up for it with money, which was reasonable.
The new emperor missed his old love and was afraid that Princess Yayang would marry too lowly, so he deliberately took out some good things from his private treasury to dress up Princess Yayang, and also allocated some of the properties he purchased privately for Princess Yayang to make.
property, and was given a princess mansion in the capital.
It's just that it's too late to live in this princess mansion before getting married. After all, it still needs to be renovated.
"I'm going to become a prince-in-law now?" Liu Xudong felt that it was a bit unreal.
Did you agree to be punished by the royal family?
Did you say that you might lose your head?
Now my daughter-in-law is about to get married and go home, and she even has a baby. Liu Xudong, a weakling, has become a relative of the emperor.
"I'll go to Qin's house to ask for an appointment." Liu Xuyang suddenly stood up and said seriously.
"Brother, why are you going?" Liu Xudong didn't hear clearly and hurriedly grabbed Liu Xuyang and asked.
"I'm the eldest son in the family, and I got engaged earlier than you, so naturally I can't get married after you. I'll go talk to the Qin family and see if we can get married in one day," Liu Xuyang said.
When they came to the capital this time, they were in a hurry on the way, so they didn't bring many things to the Qin family, but the escort agency would escort a batch of gifts later.
The Han Palace, the Qin Family, the Yang Family, and all the in-laws are naturally indispensable. This is etiquette.
And this time when they went on a long trip, the Liu brothers each had more than 200,000 taels of silver, so they were not afraid that they would not be able to show face to the bride when they got married.
But with this money, it is impossible to buy too many properties.
But the brothers are not afraid. They can earn so much money just by going out once, and the goods they brought back have not been sold. They are not afraid that they will not be able to support their beloved wife in the future.
"Brother is right, but we have to prepare some gifts, right? The official media also needs to be invited. It is best to invite an elder to come to the house to ask for a date, so that you can show your love for your future sister-in-law." Liu Xudong said.
It was rare that Liu Xuyang was anxious, so Liu Xudong naturally supported him.
Not to mention the issue of whether the eldest son should get married first, it is very nice to have the feeling of having a daughter-in-law.
If you marry into a family earlier, there will be fewer variables. Who makes the other party's status too high?
Liu Xuyang thought it made sense, so he asked Liu Xudong to buy things on his behalf.
On the other side of the royal family, Liu Xudong also had to express his feelings. As for the things, it was more or less his intention, and it would add some face to Princess Yayang and make her marriage less embarrassing.
Liu Xuyang went to the Prince of Han's Mansion to meet Princess Han. The only person he could invite at this time was Princess Han.
As for the Yang family, Liu Xuyang never thought about it, because Mrs. Yang's temperament has always been weird. If she becomes unhappy again, the marriage will have some twists and turns.
When a group of people arrived at Qin's house, Mrs. Qin said cheerfully: "I'm just waiting for you to come over. The dowry has been prepared for a long time. The royal family can't miss the date, and I think it will be fine on that day. The Liu family is far away.
, we have to go home to take care of the wedding matters, so now when I send a letter home, I don’t have to worry about not being well prepared.”
Mrs. Qin is a person who can handle things clearly and does not feel she has wronged her granddaughter.
In fact, she was married to Liu's eldest daughter-in-law, and marrying on the same day as the princess was not a grievance at all.
Moreover, this is also to give Princess Yayang face, so that no one will doubt why she is in a hurry to get married.
For a time, these two marriages attracted the most attention in the capital.
After all, this marriage was too rushed, and she was marrying a biological brother. Many people were envious of the Liu brothers' bad luck.
Although some well-matched families may not be willing to marry Qin Xuerou, firstly because they don't like her temperament, and secondly because they are afraid that the family tradition will be taken astray.
But those who are not as good as the Qin family are very optimistic about this marriage. It is enough to marry such a daughter-in-law and take it home to support her.
As for Princess Yayang, I don’t know how many high-ranking families want to give birth to Princess Shang, the second son of the family.
Anyway, the Liu brothers don't dare to go out these days, so they just wait to pick up the newlyweds on the wedding day.
They didn't buy any property in the capital and couldn't find it for a while. It wasn't suitable to marry into the Bai family. They originally thought of renting a house.
But Baicao had already given them a house in advance, which was regarded as a congratulatory gift to the two brothers.
Baicao has made a lot of money over the years. Although there is no need to give such a big gift to his cousins when they get married, he can't care so much when it comes to emergencies at critical moments.
But with Princess Han here, there is no need to spend such money on Baicao.
In the words of Princess Han, "Baicao, you have a son now, and you will have three younger brothers to get married in the future, and a cousin as well. If you can save money on this industry, you can give it as a congratulatory gift in real money, which is even more important."
practical."
"I am a businesswoman, and I don't have much else to my name, but I have a lot of property. Now that Ling'er and his wife are away, I will give this gift on their behalf. A house with five rooms is enough for the two newlyweds to live in.
It will take a few days to make it look beautiful."
"Thank you very much, Princess. You are more suitable than me for doing this." It's not that Baicao couldn't bear to part with that house. It's just a three-person house. It's okay to marry a young lady from the General's Palace. There's also a princess, so that's it.
It seems a little smaller.
After receiving the news in Nanshan Village, the Bai Liu family could finally relax and prepare for the marriage of the two boys.
Previously, everyone was worried all day long, but he immediately put on a smile and told everyone that his son was getting married and asked everyone to come and have a wedding banquet.
But everyone thought it was just Liu Xuyang who wanted to marry Qin Xuerou, but no one knew that Liu Xudong looked naughty and wanted to be the consort.
"His aunt, I have to borrow someone from you this time. Otherwise, this marriage will have to be made a joke." Ms. Liu Li was so happy that she wished she could curl her lips behind her ears.
"It's useless for my sister-in-law to say that the people in this compound are at my disposal. But now the Liu family is no longer a small family. The yard is so big, shouldn't it be time to add more servants? In the future, the two daughters-in-law will
When entering, the manpower is not enough and it is not safe." Bai Liu reminded.
In the past, the Liu family had a small population and they were used to doing things by themselves. It didn't matter if they didn't have to work. After all, people in the countryside still had to farm.
But the Liu family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and now there are children who are officials. These children who are not officials are also married to officials' daughters, or even princesses. Naturally, they can't live the same life as before.
"That's right. Before I came here, my parents also told me this. They just wanted to ask you for some advice."
The more Ms. Liu Li talked, the stronger her smile became. (To be continued)
