Start practicing from marrying a disfigured princess

Chapter 12

"."

Hearing that his obscene pants were stolen, Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but have a picture in his mind:
An idiot in ragged clothes was holding his obscene pants, showing an intoxicated look.

In an instant, he felt a chill on his spine, and gritted his teeth: "From today onwards, three people will take turns on duty at night, and I must find out that pretending thing for my son!"

"Yes!"

"Also, from now on, you don't want to touch my son's clothes anymore, use the money I gave you last time to hire a few maids, and let them take care of my son's daily necessities."

"Understandable."

"Go down." Ren Pingsheng waved his hand tiredly.

Li Yong left after saluting, and went back after a while.

"My lord, the officials from the Ministry of Rites are asking to see you."

"Why?"

"I only said that I came here for the marriage between the prince and the princess."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Soon.

A middle-aged man in a scarlet robe came to Ren Pingsheng. After saluting, he said solemnly: "The Ministry of Rites and the Supervisor of Rituals have discussed that the day for the son to enter the palace is set to be seven days later. I don't know what the son wants?"

The marriage process of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is almost the same as that of the folks. It consists of six parts: Nacai, asking for names, Naji, accepting levy, asking for a date, and welcoming in person.

The so-called acceptance means that the man pays the bride price to the woman.

Different from folk dowry gifts, there are fixed regulations on dowry gifts for members of the royal family, and the dowry gifts do not exceed 1000 taels of silver.

Of course, this figure is also an astronomical figure for ordinary people.

If every man had to pay a bride price of 1000 taels to marry a wife, the entire Great Zhou would perish in a short time.

"Okay." Ren Pingsheng didn't have much to do in the capital, so it didn't matter what day the adoption would be.

"What's more, after accepting Cai, the Ministry of Rites will hold a luncheon for the prince in the palace. Apart from the Holy One and the Empress, all the royal family and nobles who are the same generation as the princess will be present. Please get ready." The official of the Ministry of Rites said.

"When the time comes, do you want to go out to hunt in the palace, or do you want to compete in cultivation?" Ren Pingsheng asked.

"No need."

"Then what are you going to prepare?"

"."

This question stunned the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and they were silent for a while before they said: "At that time, the princes and princesses may recite poems and go to the garden to enjoy the scenery. The nobles looked at it with admiration."

He said it as if it would be of some benefit to his son to impress them.

Ren Pingsheng slandered, nodded and said, "Understood."

"Then the officer will leave first."

"En." Ren Pingsheng waved his hand.

After the officials from the Ministry of Rites left.

Ren Pingsheng stood where he was, lost in thought.

"Na Cai wants 1000 taels of silver, and Na Zheng needs another 1000 taels of silver. When Princess Chang An is taken home, food, clothing, housing and transportation will be another expense. My parents haven't replied yet, so I have to hurry up and earn money."

The so-called accepting levy is the dowry gift, which is brought back to the man by the princess after marriage. The imperial court has no fixed regulations, and the amount given depends on the man.

Generally speaking, a son-in-law with status and status like Ren Pingsheng received a dowry gift of around 1000 taels of silver.

"My aunt promised to ask me about the medicinal herbs yesterday, but I don't know if there is any result today."

"Even if there is a result, my aunt probably won't go down the mountain because of this, so I have to make another trip."

Ren Pingsheng still has a B number in his heart, knowing that no matter how comfortable he is with his aunt, she is still an elder.

It is always the younger generation who visits the elders, how can the elders visit the younger generation?
So, after practicing the sword for a while, Ren Pingsheng left the Ren Mansion and went to Baiyun Mountain.

The capital, the suburbs.

The mountain is empty, as if covered with a layer of light veil, looking from a distance, it is full of poetry.

Ren Pingsheng rode a rented fast horse and galloped all the way, and arrived at the foot of Baiyun Mountain in less than an hour.

Report to the Taoist disciples as usual, and after getting the answer, tie the fast horse at the foot of the mountain and walk up the mountain.

It is still the familiar waterside pavilion.

Ren Pingsheng did not see his aunt.

Looking around, there is only one strange young woman in the water pavilion.

She was wearing a light-colored skirt with a blue veil on the outside, which was elegant and a bit more dusty.

When you get closer, you can see a delicate oval face, with picturesque eyebrows and star-like eyes, giving people an elegant and gentle feeling.

"Who is this woman? Where is my aunt?"

Ren Pingsheng looked at the woman in front of him, a little dazed.

Coincidentally at this time, the woman was also looking at him, and seeing that he was silent, she took the initiative to ask: "You are the whole life?"

The voice and appearance are ordinary, gentle and moving.

"In my next life, I have met my sister."

Ren Pingsheng didn't know the identity of the woman in front of him, he just greeted her as a Taoist female disciple.

The woman smiled sweetly when she heard the word "elder sister", and asked, "I look like my age to be your elder sister?"

Ren Pingsheng's heart skipped a beat, thinking, it's over, I've missed it.

"Sister, don't worry, I'm face-blind and can't tell the age."

Ren Pingsheng rushed to make amends, hoping to ease the relationship with this Taoist female disciple.

After all, no matter how pure and ascetic a woman is, she doesn't want others to exaggerate her age.

"younger sister."

The woman was startled for a moment, then laughed and said, "You are quite good at talking."

Of course.

My aunt said the same thing.

Ren Pingsheng thought so in his heart, and then he heard the Taoist disciple who brought him up the mountain interrupted: "Senior Sister Bai, this disciple has to water the medicinal fields, so I will take my leave first."

"Well, let's go."

The woman looked at the disciple, her tone was still gentle.

"Bai, Senior Sister Bai?"

Hearing this address, Ren Pingsheng couldn't help thinking of a person's name, Bai Youwei, which was his aunt.

In the water pavilion, the woman saw Ren Pingsheng's expression was in a trance, she smiled lightly and said: "That's right, I am your aunt, Bai Youwei."

"."

At this moment, Ren Pingsheng was completely dumbfounded, and blurted out: "Then who played chess with me a few days ago and accompanied me to get the medicine?"

"She didn't tell you."

Bai Youwei said: "She is the second princess of the Holy Majesty, Yunhe Princess Liu Yunmeng."

Cloud and Princess Liu Yunmeng.
Ren Pingsheng murmured out the name, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

After so many days of emotional licking, I licked the wrong person!
"Speaking of which, there is a relationship between you and her. When your marriage with Princess Chang An is settled, she will be your wife and sister. When she sees you, she should call you brother-in-law." Bai Youwei said with a smile.

Ren Pingsheng became dazed after hearing this, and his mood became extremely complicated.

It's fine to lick the wrong person, it's still my sister-in-law.

Thinking of talking to my sister-in-law a few days ago.

No matter how thick-skinned he was, at this moment, Ren Pingsheng felt his face was burning hot, wishing he could find a hole in the ground and burrow into it, and never come out again!

This level of social death was the first time he had experienced it in two lifetimes.

He could already imagine how that Liu Yunmeng held back his laughter when he saw him calling her aunt!

"Sure enough, the more beautiful a woman is, the more she will lie!"

"Except for my mother, there is nothing good about a woman!"

Ren Pingsheng slandered a few words in his heart.

Taking a deep breath and calming down, he planned to discuss the business of buying herbs with Aunt Zhen in front of him.

Before he could speak, he suddenly heard Aunt Zhen say:
"Did you call her auntie?"
