There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

Early in the morning, the three fathers and sons of the historians went out at the same time, and Shi Ding waited outside the palace for an audience; Shi Bosong went to court, and Shi Zhongzhu went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to accompany the saint as usual.Maybe the sage really intends to abdicate. Now the only officials accompanying him in the Hall of Mental Cultivation are Chen Jie and Shi Zhongzhu. After the promoted Wei Haogu, Jing Yuan is also released.When getting along, Jing Yuan had some problems of hating the rich. Now that he is a magistrate, he is not very friendly to the local tyrants and wealthy gentry. Popular, but has the title of Qingtian among the common people.

Now there are only two people, Chen Jie and Shi Zhongzhu originally planned to be alone for a day, but the saint loves Shi Zhongzhu very much. Shi Zhongzhu has hardly had a rest in the past two years. "Love".

The sage went back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and soon received Shi Ding. After the emperor and ministers made a speech, the sage gave him a seat, and Shi Ding sat empty, very respectful.

"Aiqing has been released for five years, and she is still the same as before." The saint said, "The same respect."

"The duty of a minister is what a minister should do." Shi Ding was so modest that he fluently gave a brief introduction to the basic situation of the five-year release. Or pick it out again for fun, so that the sage knows that he has not caught fish in the past five years.

"I know what Aiqing can do. We haven't seen each other for a few years, and we don't talk about government affairs. It's not boring. I don't know how many times I can meet Aiqing."

Hearing the unknown words of the sage, Shi Ding was terrified: "The sage is in good health, why did he say such an ominous word, all the subjects in the world look forward to the long live of the sage..."

"Long live? Shouting long live, long live, long live, who is a saint?" The saint felt disheartened.

"The deeds of a sage will be handed down forever." Shi Ding affirmed.

"I am old, where can I see the eternal world."

Shi Zhongzhu saw that this topic became more and more wrong, so he joked: "Sage, I will be wronged when you say that. You can be forgiven for seeing Master Yuan talking about getting old like that in the court. You treat me like a flower like a jade every day." Your face is old, you are scolding me!"

"There are no rules!" Before the sage could speak, Shi Ding was so angry that he didn't call him a "subject" in front of the sage, and he was smooth-tongued, what did he look like.

"Saint, you see, my father didn't come home for five years, and now he came back, he knew to bully me." After finishing speaking, he looked like he was begging for protection.

The saint pulled Shi Zhongzhu over, as if he was his own father, and said: "Yes, you are not allowed to bully Yaoyun."

Shi Ding didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "A saint, if you love him, you will harm him. Boys, you can't spoil them, for fear of becoming a dude."

"You dude, find me a dude who looks like Yaoyun!" The sage quit, and said to Shi Zhongzhu, "I don't know what kind of grievances you have suffered at home, Shi Ding, you are just an uncivilized yu Lump."

"Saint, that's my father, but you are not allowed to talk about him."

The sage widened his eyes and said, "Cooperate with you father and son to bully me, and I will still complain to you! You have no conscience."

"Yes, yes, it's all Yaoyun's fault, saint, don't be angry, try this tea, Yaoyun brewed it himself, try it."

Shi Zhongzhu coaxed the sage to drink tea like a child, but the sage spoke to Shi Ding in a dispirited manner, and then asked him to back down.In fact, the delay has been long enough to let those watching know how much the sage attaches importance to Shi Ding.

"Go and send it off, don't worry about it." The saint asked Shi Zhongzhu to send Shi Ding out.

Shi Ding didn't expect Shi Zhongzhu to get along with the sage like this, and he wanted to talk, but there were so many people in the palace, he only left a complicated look, and went back alone.

When Shi Zhongzhu came back from duty, Shi Ding waited in the study for a long time. "You get along with saints like this?"

"Yes, it has been like this for the past two years." Shi Zhongzhu replied.

"Is this also the case in front of the courtiers?"

"Be restrained, or act very close."

"Confused, if you are close, you will not be inferior. The rules of the monarch and his ministers. You are an honorable and honorable official who has been promoted in the imperial examination, and you are not a lucky minister. What you do to flatter yourself will ruin your reputation." Shi Ding taught that as an upright courtier, you should behave yourself Moment, you laughed in front of the king yourself, and the official censor saw it. If it was light, he would say that you were out of shape, but if it was serious, it would be disrespectful to the king.

"Father, I have sense of proportion."

"You have a sense of proportion." Shi Ding couldn't help being rude.

Shi Zhongzhu squeezed his brows, and sighed: "I don't know what Dad said. At the beginning, only Chen Jie and I were the people of Zhongshu Sheren. Chen Jie is the saint's nephew. Why should I be more important than him?" Loved by the sage? The sage has not hired any new students to accompany him in the past few years. Why? He just treats me as a nephew. Since the sage treats me as a nephew, I naturally treat the sage as an elder and restrain him with the gift of the emperor and ministers , isn’t it unkind?”

"What kind of nephew, as long as your uncles and your third uncle can call you nephew, nephew who is not related by blood, you should take it seriously!" Talking about feelings with a saint, you are less reliable than a concubine and a saint talking about true love.

"Father, dear father, don't be angry, listen to me, I'm not really stupid! Since the palace change, the saint doesn't like princes and grandchildren to be filial by his side, and those who are a little bit blood related are also very distant. I got close at that time, The sage empathized with me and raised me as a nephew. In addition, the sage is getting older, and he trusts me more than he trusts any important minister who holds great power to make people feel at ease. My son did not let such a hot honor Feel dizzy, father don't worry!" Shi Zhongzhu quickly explained.

"You have to really understand. The sages like you. Even the sons and emperors of the dragon treat you politely, and the ministers who are dozens of years older than you are also respectful to you. When you encounter such a scene, you really don't think Flying? The benefits of the holy family are many, and you will gradually lose control.” Shi Ding worried that the embankment of a thousand miles will be destroyed by ant nests, and as long as there is a small gap, power will corrupt people beyond recognition.

"People are always different. Some people elevate themselves by bullying others, but I don't rely on others' flattery to find a sense of accomplishment. In my child's heart, I have my own world!"

Hearing the rhetoric that "the heart has its own world", Shi Ding finally felt a little relieved.No longer entangled in this topic, but also said, "The sage talked to me today, it is not clear, is it the same on weekdays?"

"No, I only told a few confidant ministers. I guess the sage may entrust the government to the government. Many political affairs are now handled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"It seems that your speculation that the saint intends to abdicate this year is not so outrageous." Shi Ding whispered to himself.

Shi Zhongzhu rolled his eyes, it was not outrageous in the first place.

Shi Ding planned to collect more information to verify it in his heart, and the topic turned to Shi Zhongzhu's marriage: "I have been engaged to the Wei family for a long time, find an auspicious day, and finish the six rituals."

"Yes, father, I am optimistic about the future. There have been no good days in the past two months. I will accept the levy in October, apply for a period in December, and welcome in person in February next year. The time is just right, do you think?"

"When it comes to getting married, you are so active. Mr. Feng Shui has taken away all the work, so why worry!"

"Father, when you and mother get married, you must be in a hurry than me!"

"Brat, look for a fight."

Shi Zhongzhu dodged the thin book thrown by Shi Ding, bowed slightly, and slipped out of the study.Xindao: Of course you have to set a date yourself, at least it will be delayed, saving a lot of trouble in the future.

After discussing with Zheng Shi, Shi Ding finally released the news that Shi Zhongzhu was going to complete the wedding. Shi Zhongzhu got married at an intermediate age. In this era, most people get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, but they were married at the age of twelve or thirteen. Yes, men want to obtain fame and establish a family business first, and some delay it until they are in their 20s. What is even more frightening is celebrities. There is a kind of celebrities who marry late, and they get married at the age of 40 or 45. You must know that the average age of the people of Dai Viet Dynasty is 40 years old. Getting married at the age of [-] can be regarded as a sunset love.The most frightening thing is not getting married. There are many celebrities who call themselves lay Buddhists, practice a Taoist temple at home, or go out for wanderings, and there are also those who are not married.That's why when Shi Zhongzhu was obsessed with Taoism when he was a child, Shi Dingzheng was so nervous, afraid that he would become a celebrity or a layman by accident.

The marriage of the Shi family's children is relatively late among nobles. Nazheng is actually a dowry gift. Shi Ding and his wife will give a little, Shi Nai and his wife will give a little, Shi Bosong and his wife will give a little, and Shi Zhongzhu will add a little more. The saint heard that So, I took a pair of very rare red jade geese from my private treasury, and made them as extra heads.Everyone worked hard, so the dowry when the historian was hired was so much that it made people jealous.

When asking for a date, it was also a symbolic discussion. The two families had already set the wedding on the seventh day of February next year. Except for the day when the dragon raised its head, the rest of the days in February next year were not suitable for Shi Zhongzhu and Wei Zhenniang. It was the seventh day of February.The date was calculated by Shi Zhongzhu himself. After all, he has studied Taoism for many years. Zhao Zhi ridiculed that Shi Zhongzhu was reluctant to spend money.

When the Wei family ransacked their home, a large sum was "wasted". In addition to the large population of the family, as the direct branch, they also needed to provide part of the family's expenses, so they did not live well.The Wei Shi family is in charge, and Wei Zhenniang's dowry is mainly her mother's dowry and the dowry gift. The Wei family pays for it themselves, accounting for only one-tenth of the total dowry.Most of them are large decorations with "long history" and "family symbols", Wei Yan also acquiesced.They also have two sons, who may have more children in the future, and the supply clan, no matter how big the family is, they can't afford to just leave and not enter.

Needless to say about the wedding process, Shi Zhongzhu has already watched Shi Bosong’s wedding, and experienced the general process. The most brilliant thing about Shi Zhongzhu’s wedding is that the sage acted as a matchmaker and gave many treasures. Everyone in the room was jealous.

Shi Zhongzhu took white water to fill with white wine, and with the help of a huge group of best men, he got rid of the toasting crowd and came to the new house.When Shi Zhongzhu came to the new house, Wei Zhenniang had already taken off the dress of Mrs. Duwei and put on the auspicious ordinary clothes. Nowadays, red hijabs are not popular when they get married. Their weddings follow the ancient ceremony, and there is no bridal chamber. .

After asking the girl to make the bed, Shi Zhongzhu and Wei Zhenniang formed a de facto marriage.

On the first day of their wedding, early in the morning, they paid homage to Shi Ding and his wife, greeted Shi Bosong and his wife, and after seeing Shi Shumei and Shi Jilan, they went to the palace to greet the saint.It's just that this is in line with the steps of royal family members getting married. Outsiders naturally regard Shi Zhongzhu as a saint and value Shi Zhongzhu as a descendant, so they don't mention it for a while.

The second day of the wedding is to visit the historians. Of course, starting from the Zhongjinghou mansion, the other tribesmen go to the Bowlinghou mansion by themselves. The newlyweds say that they are visiting the tribe, rather than meeting them. After all, the rank and status are there.

Returning home on the third day was also very pleasant. After returning home, I went to the ancestral hall to meet the ancestors. Shi Ding, as the patriarch, added Wei after the name of Shi Zhongzhu in the genealogy. Wei Zhenniang officially became a member of the Shi family, and their wedding was truly completed. .

When Shi Zhongzhu calculated the marriage date, he also included Wei Zhenniang's ovulation period in it. The accuracy of this thing is relatively high. During the sweet few days of the newlyweds, Wei Zhenniang was successfully pregnant.

But at this time, Shi Zhongzhu couldn't put his mind on Wei Zhenniang's stomach, because the saint was about to abdicate!
