Ben Hou is ill

On the way back to the Yamen, Minister of Rites sitting in the carriage fell into deep thought.

It is absolutely unexpected that the old man has been immersed in physiognomy for decades, he is proficient in "Yi", he is highly respected but he does not seek fame and fortune, and he hardly goes out to socialize. It's so handy, it's almost seamless.

People who don't know really think that the horoscopes of Marquis Yan and Princess Chang are so compatible, but the horoscopes of this kind of match made in heaven have always been that there is no one in a million, they are well matched and their horoscopes match, and there is no one in a million.Where is it so easy to meet?When the Xungui family is married, they usually only dare to say things like the Wangfuli family. No one dares to say that the marriage of a certain family is a match made in heaven.

It's really unexpected... The Minister of Rituals also thought of the old gentleman's expression of astonishment and joy when he explained the horoscope, and he admired him even more. There is still a long way to go.He is only [-] and seven this year. The former minister of the Ministry of Rites was promoted to Zuo Xiangguo. There is really no one under the Ministry of Rites. Only those who are younger and less experienced have to be promoted as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. Otherwise, according to the rules, he will have to It will take a few more years of qualifications.

But a match made in heaven couldn't be better.The new emperor was young and Chang'an was unstable, so he urgently needed the eldest princess to sit in the court. If the marriage was stable, there would be fewer people criticizing the eldest princess.

He thought and thought, but he still couldn't help it. He opened the curtain, called a clerk from the Ministry of Rites, and said, "Please come here, sir."

The clerk of the Ministry of Rituals responded and turned to invite the old gentleman who was sitting in another carriage.

The old gentleman got into the carriage of the Minister of Rites with a puzzled expression on his face. As soon as he sat down, the Minister of Rites asked impatiently: "But the eldest princess has something to ask?"

The old gentleman: "...Didn't you invite me to combine the horoscope? Isn't the marriage bestowed by the first emperor?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites coughed pretendingly, and said: "You also know that there were very few cooperations that day..."

The old gentleman came to a sudden, and said: "It is indeed entrusted by the eldest princess, please let me make sure the horoscope. However, the result of the horoscope this time is not decided by me."

The Minister of Rites frowned.

"Originally, I was thinking that the marriage of the eldest princess is not easy, and Yanhou is both talented and beautiful. He is indeed a talented person. The late emperor was not long ago, and there should be no more twists and turns in the court. I made an exception and did such a trick, but the result It's out of my control," he sighs. "The combination of the eight characters is indeed a match made in heaven."

"Really?" Minister of Rites was a little moved, and couldn't help muttering in his heart. "Then what happened to the fate of the eldest princess and Yanhou?"

"I can only calculate the calamity, but I can't know the specifics. Otherwise, if you reveal the secret, you will be punished." The old man paused, and said: "It's not just a match made in heaven, but there are four words, which I didn't say just now."

"Which four words?"

"Indispensable."

The Minister of Rites was stunned.

Is it really that good?

The common people and small officials outside don't know it, but their courtiers know it all too well.

If the result of the horoscope is really so good, how can the marriage be delayed until the first emperor was seriously ill?It is nonsense that Emperor Renzong had a decree to bestow a marriage before his death. The courtiers knew that there was such a decree, but they kept it hidden. Ninety-eight out of ten it was blank. Otherwise, who could stop Emperor Renzong's decree?

"My family has passed down the horoscope for more than [-] years, and I have never seen such an inseparable horoscope. If you are together, you will be happy and healthy for a lifetime, and if you are separated, you will experience ups and downs." The old man shook his head, looking at the hesitant expression of the Minister of Rites, He swallowed the rest of the words.

Some things are better left unsaid.

More than ten years ago, in order to reassure the old Marquis Ji, he was sent by Emperor Renzong to the Marquis Ji's mansion to look at the young Marquis Yan to see if he had died young.Although it is not a sign of longevity, it can still live to the age of [-], but it is the fate of a lone star of the gods, who has no father, no mother, no wife and no children.

When he calculated it, he was really taken aback. The fate of the lone star of Tiansha is very rare. He often loses his father and mother when he is young, and he is homeless. The population of Marquis Ji's mansion is relatively complete, Marquis Yan only lost his mother.It was only after he made indirect remarks that he learned that the mother clan of his direct relatives were all lost, and the uncle's family in Zhao Guohou's Mansion was another branch.

He didn't dare to tell Old Jihou about Yanhou's fate, he only said that Yanhou would not die from this disease, and then he told Emperor Renzong about it.

He thought that there would be some changes in Jihou Yan's family in recent years, but it has always been stable and stable, the brothers are in harmony, and even two important ministers of the Nine Ministers have appeared. The eldest princess' horoscope was completely put together, and the solved characters finally solved his doubts.

If the prediction is correct, this marriage will be a catastrophe for both the eldest princess and the Marquis of Yan, perhaps the biggest catastrophe.The two are the only way to break the other's catastrophe.

But these words can't be said to the Minister of Rites, otherwise there may be a lot of gossip in Chang'an.

The old gentleman went to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites and ordered a Mao and then headed back home. The Minister of the Ministry of Rites took all the people back first, and then entered the palace to meet the eldest princess.Xiao Ding returned the gift and handed it directly to the palace man. The brocade box handed over to him by Yanhou's trustee had to be handed over to the eldest princess himself.

It was the same when he was young, stuffing letters of affection into an inconspicuous box, and then trying to find a way to pass them on to the person he likes.But what is written in it is really curious. I don't know if Yanhou will secretly stuff rouge and the like in it like him.

After seeing the eldest princess, the Minister of Rites bowed respectfully: "I respectfully ask Your Highness Jin'an."

"Exemption." The eldest princess said, she wanted to ask something, but she saw the box held by the Minister of Rites at a glance, and then said: "What is this? Yanhou entrusted you to send it?"

The Minister of Rites who was completely robbed of his words: "..." How could the eldest princess guess so accurately.

He silently handed the box in his hand to the servant, and the servant presented it.

The eldest princess took it over, weighed it in her hand, then put it aside casually, as if she didn't care about the contents, and asked, "Did you see Marquis Yan?"

The Minister of Rites said: "Marquis Yan has not come forward. But a waiter has already measured the size of the clothes and sent them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The eldest princess nodded and said, "Is there a date for releasing the appointment?"

Minister of Rites: "..."

He made up his mind and said: "The auspicious time of August is useless, September and October are the autumn harvests, why not set it in November...?"

The eldest princess looked at him expressionlessly.

The Book of the Ministry of Rites immediately changed his words and said: "I think that it is not allowed in November. It is cold and it is not convenient to have fun with the common people. July 28 is an auspicious day. It is suitable for marriage and alliance. The season is just right. There are too many sayings, These days are sunny and sunny, which is the most suitable."

The eldest princess laughed very naturally, as if it wasn't her who gave people the pressure just now.

She said: "Then it will be hard for everyone in the Ministry of Rites. After agreeing on the gift list, it can be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I have already issued an order. If there is any difficulty, feel free to hand it over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The Minister of Rites said: "I would like to obey your orders."

After the Minister of Rites left the palace, he first wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then touched the back of his official uniform, which felt extremely damp.With a long sigh, he hurried back to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

Hearing that the release date was set for July 28, all the officials in the yamen exploded.

"It's too late in time!" The Minister of Rites Zuo Shilang looked at him questioningly and said, "Today is already July 25."

Although it is obvious that the following offends the superior, but now there is no time to worry about who is the minister and who is the servant. The minister of the Ministry of Rites smiled bitterly while wiping his sweat: "I also know, but the order of the eldest princess..."

The servant of the Ministry of Rites said: "The eldest princess is over the age of double ten, and she has repeatedly regretted her marriage. It is inevitable to be impatient. It is my duty to wait for the king's salary and share the worries for the king. Don't complain. But Shangshu, we wait Even if you have four hands, you can't decide on the dowry within three days, will the eldest princess give me the right to act cheaply? Or is it based on the past story?"

"Not at all. I just said that if there are any difficulties, they will be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs." The Minister of Rites said: "We just need to discuss the gift list, but the problem is that the eldest princess's mansion is more organized than the prince, and the eldest princess is more important than the clan. The crown prince, now he is regent with the rites of the son of heaven..."

What is the specification of the dowry?

Everyone pondered for a long time, and finally decided to imitate the dowry gift given by the former emperor when he was the crown prince, removing some unreasonable utensils, and then replacing some unsuitable things with other things, such as changing rings into finger rings and the like. , As for whether the Ministry of Internal Affairs has so many fingers, it is a matter for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The eldest princess was in the palace, staring at the brocade box, turning it over and over again.

What will be in here?

She first picked up a pen and wrote the word "letter" on the paper, after thinking about it, she wrote the word "handkerchief" again.

This weight is about the same as these two.She thought, opened the brocade box, and then froze.

Inside was a sachet, bright red, the stitches were not neat enough, and it was not flat enough, and there was an unknown creature embroidered on it, and there were messy flowers and plants beside it.

The eldest princess frowned and thought for a long time, but she couldn't tell whether it was a chicken or a duck.

The maid who changed her tea looked carefully, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Your Highness, Marquis Yan probably wants to embroider a phoenix for you."

Phoenix?

Ok?

Um--?

So the crooked thing next to it is not a water plant?Is it the tail feathers of the phoenix?

The eldest princess looked left and right, but still felt that the phoenix looked too strange.

"Cough... isn't it too... a bit..."

The next day, some courtiers discovered that the eldest princess had an extremely ugly sachet hanging from her waist, the kind that no one would buy for a penny or two on the street.

The author has something to say: I have been having a fever for the past few days, and I don’t have much energy to code words. I’m really sorry for the abruptness. I will make up as soon as possible. There will be at least one chapter before six o’clock.

No one has guessed it right so far, let's try harder and guess.
