Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty Sixth Requisition Period
Liu Tuo left, Chang Gun put down the tea cup and walked to the window with his hands behind his back. The name Liu Tuo mentioned just now pierced his heart like a needle. The young man caused him the biggest fight since he became an official.
Now that he is still affected, Xin Jun is obviously more indifferent to himself and relies more on Han Huang.
The news from the palace was that Xinjun was disgusted by his performance in the Guo Song case, which made Chang Gun panic. He really didn't expect the consequences of that incident to be so serious, and it also made him regretful.
, Fengzhou Zhang family tricked him miserably.
He is particularly sensitive to the name Guo Song. No one dares to mention this name in front of him now, but yesterday he still saw this name on the appointment letter from the Ministry of War. The emperor actually appointed him as the governor of Ganzhou, which really made him feel sad.
There will be blood, but this is not the first time.
A few months ago, when the late emperor announced the rewards for the Battle of the Central Plains, he mentioned Guo Song. Because of his outstanding military achievements, he was granted the title of Duke of the County and Doctor Yinqing Guanglu. At that time, Chang Gun felt as if his heart had been severely cut out.
, making him the laughing stock of the entire court.
But just now, Liu Tuo obviously mentioned this name in front of him on purpose, as if he wanted to arouse his own anger. Unfortunately, Liu Tuo didn't know that Chang Gun not only hated the name Guo Song, but was more afraid of it.
Names are as scary to him as scorpions.
At this time, his staff Xu Fangzheng placed a document on his desk and whispered: "Xiangguo, this is the second batch of appointment and dismissal draft lists of the Ministry of Personnel. If you have any doubts, the lower positions have been marked. Please take a look at it.
"
"Sir, do you know which minister in the court is getting married recently?" Chang Gun suddenly asked.
Xu Fangzheng thought for a while and said: "It seems that recently I have only heard that the new Governor of Ganzhou, Guo Song, is getting married, but not others."
Chang Gun was stunned. He turned around and asked, "How did you know that Guo Song was getting married?"
"Xiangguo, this matter has basically been spread in the court! The woman is the daughter of Xue Xun, the secretary-provincial minister. She is a famous young talented girl. Yan Xiangguo acted as a matchmaker. Guo Laolinggong asked for his hand in marriage. I heard that even the emperor gave it to him.
As a generous gift, the screen in the late emperor's study room was given to Guo Song."
Chang Gun's face twitched. This matter had been spread in the court, but he didn't know it. He suddenly became wary. Why didn't Liu Tuo impeach Guo Song, but came to tell him that he planned to use him?
"Just now Taichang Qing Liu Tuo came to me and said that Guo Song got married during the late emperor's mourning period, which was treacherous. He suggested that I impeach him. What do you think, sir?"
Xu Fangzheng shook his head, "I'm afraid Liu Tuo is misleading the Prime Minister and wants to use the conflict between the Prime Minister and Guo Song to achieve some of his own purposes."
"Why do you say he is misleading me?" Chang Gun asked in confusion.
"Xiangguo, regarding Guo Song's marriage, Yan Xiangguo just started working as a matchmaker just the day before yesterday. It's still early for divorce and marriage. I don't know when the wedding will be set. What if they get married after the emperor's mourning period is over? And even the emperor sent it as a gift.
He received a congratulatory gift, indicating that the emperor had acquiesced in this matter. If the prime minister rashly impeached him, not only would it not be effective, but it would give people a sense of personal revenge, making the emperor even more dissatisfied with the prime minister. He humbly suggested that if the emperor
If you don’t care, it’s better for the Prime Minister to turn a blind eye.”
Chang Gun suddenly became angry, "What does Liu Tuo mean? Does he have some grudge against Guo Song and actually wants to take advantage of me?"
Xu Fangzheng thought for a while and said: "Liu Tuo may not have a conflict with Guo Song, but maybe he has something to do with Xue Xun. He is from Jianzhou, and Xue Xun was the governor of Jianzhou before. Maybe he is the Liu family
Something unpleasant happened with Xue Xun in Jianzhou. Liu Tuo couldn't find trouble with Xue Xun, so he used the Prime Minister to suppress Guo Song's marriage."
Chang Gun nodded. Xu Fangzheng's analysis was very accurate. He nodded, "I understand!"
Xu Fangzheng hesitated and then advised: "In this humble position, I still have to remind the Prime Minister that the new king now relies heavily on Guo Song, so he appointed him as the governor of Ganzhou. Whether he got married during the mourning period is really a trivial matter. If the Prime Minister wants to deal with him, he can
We’ll talk about it later, don’t rush it now.”
"Thanks for the reminder, I will pay attention!"
"Farewell to my humble post!"
Xu Fangzheng bowed and retreated.
Chang Gun felt really blocked in his heart. Thinking that even Liu Tuo wanted to take advantage of the conflict between him and Guo Song, it was like ten thousand alpacas running through his heart. Guo Song simply became a nightmare in his destiny. Guo Song
The more important you are, the more unstable your phase will be.
........
After the name-checking and Najib submission, the next step is to accept the petition and ask for a period. This step is more important. Guo Ying only officially came to the door seven days later. To accept the petition is to give financial gifts. The Tang Dynasty paid attention to generous marriages, and generally gave heavier gifts to wives.
Financial gifts, of course, also depend on each family's own circumstances. When a commoner gets married, a few dozen taels of silver or a dozen bolts of silk and satin are almost enough, and the bride's family won't be too harsh.
But if you are getting married in a wealthy family, you must be well-matched. Without a gift of several thousand taels of silver, you can never marry your beloved wife.
Another way is to marry a potential stock, just like when Wang Zhongsi married his daughter to Yuan Zai. Yuan Zai's family was poor, but he was a Jinshi in the system science and technology industry. Wang Zhongsi would rather give up and marry his daughter to him. Unfortunately, Wang Zhongsi still
Wrong person.
In the afternoon, Guo Ying came to the door again, and Xue Xun also came home early. He got the news yesterday that the Guo family would come to the door today to give gifts and to agree on a wedding date.
The Han family is also looking forward to it. Although some things cannot be explained too clearly, everyone knows that this financial gift is a big income for the woman's family. Guo Song's family has a fortune, and he is generous and generous. The financial gift he gives will definitely not
Let her down.
"Come in this way, slow down!"
Guo Ying called for his entourage to carry more than a dozen boxes and cages into the house. He smiled and said to Xue Xun: "I am giving you a gift today, and I hope Xue Shijun will accept it!"
Xue Xun shook his head. He didn't know what to say. In fact, according to his character, it is best for the other party to give him the Four Treasures of the Study, or famous calligraphy and paintings, and dozens of boxes of books. That would be his most satisfying financial gift, such as gold and silver.
It's not what he really wants, but...
Xue Xun glanced at his wife next to him and saw her looking at these boxes and cages with ardent eyes. Xue Xun sighed secretly. When his wife married him, she was not so worldly!
"Brother Guo Xian is so polite, please come in and sit down!"
Guo Ying handed the list of gifts to Han and said with a smile: "The things are relatively expensive, please ask my sister-in-law to arrange for someone to move them to the backyard."
Mr. Han quickly agreed, "I'll make the arrangements. Uncle Guo, please sit in the lobby!"
At this moment, Mrs. Han is anxious to see the financial gift, so let her husband make the final decision regarding the date of marriage!
She asked the maids and servants to carry the boxes and cages into the back house. As she walked, she read the list of gifts:
A complete set of gold jewelry, including an emerald gold phoenix crown.
Two pairs of fine jade hairpins.
Ten golden flowers.
Ten pairs of fine white jade.
Hundreds of pieces of fine lake silk.
Five hundred taels of gold.
A box of jade jewelry.
One each by Wu Daozi, Yan Liben and Zhang Xu.
A house with three acres in Xuanyangfang.
Mrs. Han was so tired that she couldn't breathe. When she looked at the last item, her vision went dark and her body swayed. The housekeeper's wife, Ms. Jiang, had quick hands and eyes, and she supported her.
"Madam, don't worry!"
Mrs. Han patted her chest, her heart was so happy that she was about to explode. Isn't the three-acre small house in Xuanyangfang the same house she lives in now? Guo Song actually gave it to herself as a financial gift.
"I'm fine. I'm so happy. This house will be mine from now on. It's mine!"
Mr. Han was a little incoherent in his excitement. Mr. Jiang said with envy on his face: "This house must be worth at least thirty thousand guan! In this location, you may not be able to buy it if you have money. Congratulations, madam, on getting a good son-in-law."
Mr. Han smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. Guo Song was really a good son-in-law who couldn't be found even with a lantern.
She looked at the financial gifts again, and she understood a little bit. It was estimated that a lot of things were given to her daughter. In fact, although Han was a little more secular, she also really loved her daughter. In addition to a hundred pieces of Hu silk, five hundred taels of silk.
In addition to gold and the house, she planned to give her daughter everything else as a dowry.
With this house and five hundred taels of gold, she and her husband would not have to worry about the rest of their lives.
.........
In the living room, Guo Ying and Xue Xun were discussing the wedding date. Xue Xun said: "I suggest it be best to arrange it in early February. Although after the fifth day of January, the court will no longer prohibit folk weddings, singing and dancing, etc., but I am worried that someone will use this."
It is not good for Guo Song to make a fuss about this matter. If it is put in early February, there will basically be no problem. What is Guo Xiandi's opinion?"
Guo Ying said with a smile: "I have asked Guo Song for his opinion, and he and his brother have similar ideas. Moreover, January is the New Year, and it is also connected with the Lantern Festival, so every household is very busy, so it is really more appropriate to put it in early February."
"Then it's settled, the second day of February is an auspicious day, and the wedding and wedding will be held on this day."
"No problem. In addition, Guo Song said that he might leave for Ganzhou around the tenth day of February. He hopes to take your daughter with him to Ganzhou to take up his post. I wonder if my brother can agree?"
Xue Xun smiled slightly, "That's not something I can decide. They decide for themselves. As long as it doesn't violate the court system, I have no objection."
Guo Ying took out the application form and wrote on it the second day of February. He and Xue Xun signed their names respectively, and the wedding date was officially set.
