Chapter 336 The priceless bride price
The first day of September.Chengguo Duke's Mansion, which had been expanded for two full years, was finally officially completed with the push of the original courtyard wall.

Watching the civilian husband recruited by the Ministry of Industry clean up the broken bricks and tiles, then connect the ditches dug in other courtyards to the running water of his mansion, and finally repair a few corridors, it was quite spacious in an instant The Chengguo Mansion turned into a large garden with winding corridors and winding water.

Luo Yan only felt that he didn't know where it was.

Now that the expansion of the mansion is completed, it's time for the application period.

It was not Luo Yan's job to choose a good day and auspicious date, so he could only use Zhang Tong's relationship to invite someone from Sitianjian, and after a lot of divination, he finally set November [-]th as the wedding date.Luo Yan is also speechless about this day. In future generations, this is like throwing dog food in front of a group of single dogs.

Fortunately, there is no such concept now, so I am not afraid that someone will be stimulated to disturb my marriage.

On the colored paper, write the letter of request for a period of time, and put it in a wooden box made of incense sandalwood.When the lid was closed, Luo Yan held the box and carefully handed it to Kong Yingda, and then bowed to him: "This matter, I will trouble the master."

"Jinzhi, you may not know. Dr. Lu asked His Majesty to agree to your marriage with Princess Changle before his death. Now that he has passed away, I will naturally take over this matter. After Wanwang, don't let him down Hope." Kong Yingda said meaningfully to Luo Yan, but carefully took the box in his hand and held it in his arms.

Luo Yan was stunned, unable to say anything for a while.But Kong Yingda had already left slowly at this time.

Presumably, Li Shimin had already learned about the auspicious day from the officials of the Sitianjian. Kong Yingda went there with the request letter, and Li Shimin wrote a reply letter himself, agreeing to Luo Yan and Changle's marriage.On the same day, he issued an imperial edict to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to inform everyone of this matter.

With Li Shimin's casualness, Luo Yan saved a lot of effort.Inviting guests is a trivial matter. The servants of Tiancheng Kingdom's family have broken their legs. There are not a few people who can establish some relationship with Luo Yan, and they all have prominent positions.

Fortunately, every time they went to a house, they found out that it was Luo Yan's wedding invitation, and the masters of these houses would give some wedding money, but it made these servants very happy.

After two full months like this, there were three light snowfalls in the city of Chang'an, and Double Eleven was finally ushered in.

Although the weather was a bit cold, there was no snow.On the contrary, the sun was shining on the head, and it felt a little warm.

However, if this means that marriage is during the day, it is a big mistake.In the early morning, a lot of people of the same age came to Cheng Guogong's mansion. These were all students of the Hongwen Academy before, and now all of them have come out to be officials. Although they have status, they have great potential for development.

After all, a group of second-generation officials can always make something famous with the merits of their ancestors.

Today is a day of great joy for Luo Yan, they are not coming to sit together with their elders to eat and drink.It was Luo Yan who said some time ago that they were coming to help today.Such things as passing news in the palace and the mansion cannot be done by some servants.

It just so happens that these second generations are of sufficient status, and most of them are well-prepared, able to enter and leave the palace, which is a good time to report the news.

When Shen Shizhong was approaching, in Princess Changle's bedroom, Empress Changsun was leading a group of princesses and wives to talk with Changle.

All kinds of matters needing attention in the boudoir had been taught to Changle by special court ladies before, so there was no need for these women to remind them.At this moment, what they were talking about was nothing more than about Luo Yan, and by the way, a few words about their marriage.

Princess Xiangcheng, who has always been a model for women in the harem, is now accompanying Changle on the left side, looking at Changle with Empress Changsun.

"Sister, after getting in touch these days, I don't know what kind of person Cheng Guogong is?" Princess Xiangcheng married Xiao Yu's son, and she married Li Shimin when he was not on the throne.Although it was a political marriage at the time, the life of Princess Xiangcheng was good after marriage.

Now that I have this question, it is also because Princess Changle is the second one who has never let her husband-in-law be the princess. She directly lives in Cheng Guogong's mansion, and her husband-in-law must be good.

Speaking of this, Princess Changle nodded shyly, and said in a low voice: "Although it is rumored that Luo Yan is extremely rebellious, in fact he treats me very well. As long as I speak, he will try his best to do it for me."

Speaking of this, he looked at Empress Changsun and Princess Xiangcheng, blushing and said: "Nesting in his arms, it feels so warm."

Empress Changsun laughed instantly: "Silly boy." Princess Xiangcheng also smiled, and said to Empress Changsun: "Mother, since this is the case, then Luo Yan is considered caring. Changle is not afraid of suffering and accepting anger after marrying her." .”

And the married woman also took advantage of this excuse to congratulate Empress Changsun.

In the twinkling of an eye, it's almost unitary time.The so-called marriage means getting married at dusk, entertaining relatives and friends, and then officially entering the bridal chamber.Because Cheng Guogong's mansion is not far from the imperial palace, it was only at this time that someone notified that the welcoming team had arrived.

Welcoming relatives is not as simple as knocking and knocking. There are also a series of things to do, such as blocking the door and urging makeup.Blocking the door, of course, is to block Luo Yan in front of the inner palace gate, and prevent Luo Yan from entering. At the same time, a married woman and a princess will come to question Luo Yan. Only after answering the question and giving a red envelope, will Princess Changle be given send it out.

No, as soon as the servant girl in the palace said that Luo Yan had been stopped outside the Guangyun Gate closest to Yeting Palace, a group of wives bowed to the eldest grandson empress before they all walked out.

Seeing a group of wives coming over at this time, Luo Yan felt his head was about to burst.As the saying goes, three daughters make a drama, but if there are too many women, it is no longer a drama, it is completely war.In front of him, he was about to face this unavoidable war.

Going forward, Luo Yan bowed: "Luo Yan came here today to welcome Princess Changle back home to get married. I would like to offer you my heart at this time. I also hope that you can let Luo Yan in. Luo Yan is very grateful." He said. After nodding his head, he saw Qu Tuquan and the others each holding a big basket, distributing the golden fruits wrapped in red paper to many wives and princesses one by one.

Originally thought that with money to buy the road, how could it be bought through.But he didn't think about it, could these people in front of him be bribed with a golden fruit?

After taking the money, these wives also smiled, but then said: "Mr. Cheng, if you want to go in so easily, don't you underestimate me and wait. How can you go back to Princess Changle so easily?" Treat her well."

Luo Yan smiled wryly, and asked: "Everyone, then what should Luo Yan do to marry Changle back?"

"Do a set of boxing first, let us see your martial arts. Then write a poem and talk about your feelings for Changle. If you can't do one of the two things well, then you don't have to think about taking Changle back tonight. "

Yingyingyanyan's voice really made Luo Yan want to cry without tears.

But he couldn't resist, so he had to tie the red groom's robe around his waist, and hit Tai Chi with one hand at a very fast speed.The elegant posture and soft movements attracted a group of women to applaud.

"Well, although this boxing method is not manly at all, it's just enough. Hurry up and write a poem."

With a wry smile, Luo Yan tidied up his clothes, and then slowly read:

"Welcome relatives and leave the old garden, and enter the palace with grace.

I saw Pisces go yesterday, but now I see four horses returning.

The magpie follows the golden seal, and the black bird flies around the board.

Victory for the East Expedition Fu, return home full of Lu Hui. "

The poem fits the time and the occasion, attracting a group of people to applaud.The wives then dispersed, and the ritual officer who was in charge of this matter came over, ready to take over Luo Yan's gift list.

Unlike other families who lined up hundreds of meters for gift boxes, Luo Yan only had five gifts here.And looking at the gift box, it was pitifully small.The ceremonial officer thought to himself that Duke Cheng really didn't know etiquette, why did he bring so few things here.

As if seeing through what this person was thinking, Luo Yan took out the gift slip from his sleeve and handed it to the ceremony officer.

According to regulations, this gift list must be read at this time in front of many wives and princesses. Although the ceremony officer made it difficult, seeing Luo Yan's determined face, he could only grit his teeth and open the cover with all his heart. , ready to read aloud.

However, the moment he opened it, seeing the words inside, he was so surprised that he almost tore up the gift slip.

"Chuan Guo Yuxi, authentic, one party."

""The Book of the Green Bag", a manuscript, one volume."

"Wang Youjun's handwritten "Tao Te Ching", a set."

"Twelve classics printed with movable type, a set."

"Movable type printing dry stock, [-]%."

In the ears of a group of wives who don't know the government, only the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo is the most shocking.Li Shimin has been looking for him for so many years, but Luo Yan gave it as a betrothal gift, it really is a big deal.

However, as an official of the Ministry of Rites, he is very clear about what this "Book of Green Bags" is.It is said that there is a prescription in this thing to treat the eldest grandson's empress's gas illness. For Li Shimin, it can be worth half of the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and its value is definitely not low.

Not to mention the "Tao Te Ching" written by Wang Youjun, which is also priceless.

As for the movable type printing, although it is not well known, if it can be ranked with the first three, it is naturally not bad.

At this time, Empress Changsun, who was sending Princess Changle out, felt a huge wave in her heart.

One side passed on the jade seal of the country, if an ordinary person dedicated it to Li Shimin, at least he would be a marquis.As for movable type printing, its initial cost was worth [-] million guan, so it goes without saying that it will make more profits in the future. If a craftsman comes here to contribute such a method, he must be at least a county magistrate.

In comparison, the other two are purely to please her and Li Shimin.

Empress Changsun nodded in satisfaction, and sent Princess Changle to Luo Yan.

　Thank you Qingtianhenhaiyiguhong for your reward, and thank you for the monthly pass that I am not a guest.I feel a little unwell today, and Xiaodao will rest after midnight.Dear friends in the north, remember to wear a mask.
