one side clear pool

Jun Shaoqian attaches great importance to the big gift between him and Jing Chen, and Jun Shaojue also attaches great importance to his younger brother's wedding. He ordered the Ministry of Rites to make careful arrangements, and then sent someone to pass the matter to the Supreme Emperor who was still playing outside. The Empress Dowager Hehuang even issued an edict urging the dependent countries to come to participate in Jun Shaoqian's grand ceremony.

No one can ignore the emperor's importance to the prince. Some people who are watching are determined to send their daughters to the palace even if they are concubines. Even if it is impossible now, the prince will always have heirs in the future.

It's just that they didn't expect that with the imperial decree of marriage, there would also be the imperial decree of the second prince's adoption.

And Jun Shaojue only has two sons.

"Think twice, Your Majesty!" The ministers persuaded them earnestly, "Now the emperor's heirs are weak, and there are only the eldest prince and the second prince among the princes, and the second prince has already enlightened, so it is really inappropriate to adopt the prince."

"According to the ancestral system, even if you want to have an heir, you should wait until the ninth prince is born before passing through the heir's mansion. Your Majesty, this is not appropriate."

"I have already discussed this matter with my younger brother, and after sending a letter to my father and mother, they have no objection. My younger brother said that he will not take concubines or concubines in this life, but he is the second prince. Is it possible that you want the emperor's concubine?" Brother Jue Heir?" Jun Shaojue sat on the throne, raised his eyebrows and looked at the courtiers, "It's not that the eldest prince can't support himself, why are you so anxious?"

"Your majesty... this..."

"They are all my sons. Is it wrong to adopt them to my own brothers?"

Isn't it wrong? I have never seen any emperor who is so enthusiastic about his brothers. There are only two sons. If you say adopt, you can adopt. It is extremely difficult to support the children of the royal family. Natural disasters* can lead to the death of children. The two sons, although the performance of the two children is very good, but in case there is any accident...

"Okay, this matter is settled." Jun Shaojue waved his hand indifferently. The second prince's biological mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to the second prince. After finally giving birth to the child, she collapsed. The prince was always taken care of by a wet nurse until Jun Feng entered the Palace of Chaofeng, and then he brought the second prince to his side to raise him. Although he was a bit reluctant to adopt the second prince, it was the best choice so far.

After discussing with Jun Shaoqian and others, Jun Shaojue and Jun Shaoqian sent a message to Queen Mother Huang and his wife. The couple did not intend to interfere with their son's behavior. This was a matter between their brothers, so they didn't want to ask more questions.

However, Jun Shaoqian said that although the child is adopted, he will not receive the palace in the short term. That is to say, although the second prince is adopted to him, he will stay in the palace in the short term. Without him, Jun Shaoqian and Jing Chen After the ceremony, he was going to Moyuan, and according to Jun Shaoqian, he had to leave for a while to look around.

According to Jun Shaoqian's habit of not coming back for a year or so, Jun Shaojue felt that his second prince would stay in the palace for at least a few more years.

At this time, what we should care about is not when Jun Shaoqian will take the child out, but about Jun Shaoqian's gift.

With Jun Shaojue's intervention, it would be difficult to plan this wedding. Jing Zhong and his wife saw all this in their eyes, and felt more at ease with Jun Shaoqian.

Compared with Ren Zexuan who couldn't be contacted, Jun Shaoqian is no longer indifferent and reticent when he was in contact with him before, but gentle and modest. Although he doesn't talk much, he definitely answers questions about Jing Zhong and his wife, and even cares about them very much. Although there is little concern in words, the demeanor really makes people feel caring.

Jingfeng and his wife also arrived in Fenglin City in a few days. They have their own house here. After going out for so long, they don't have to worry about having no place to live. Speaking of which, the three of their brothers were all born in Moyuan, but they all They came here to buy a house or something, except for Jing Zhong, basically no one regards Moyuan as their hometown, even though Jing Zhong was very strict with their education since they were young, but because of Jing Chen’s matter, they don’t care about Moyuan. The feelings on the side are really not deep.

Maybe Jing Feng still has a little nostalgia for Mo Yuan, but after Jing Chen's incident, in his later years, he naturally hopes to see his children more, instead of being separated from his youngest son all the time.

Jing Chen is not good at words, he and Jing Zhong have similar personalities, but his sister-in-law is very concerned about him, and she asks more questions, but she is a woman after all, so she is too embarrassed to ask about this big gift, so I have to ask some daily chores.

Jing Chen has a very good impression of his sister-in-law. This sister-in-law is the same as his mother, gentle and elegant, kind and considerate.

Jing Chen had a conversation with his sister-in-law, and then went to find his two nephews. For this uncle, the two children are very fond of the two children. Jing Chen will never be partial to these two children, although they are not The child's husband, but he will still teach the two children as much as possible.

This big ceremony, because of Jun Shaojue's intervention, became very grand. Jing Chen thought it was nothing at first, but when it came to the end, Jing Chen still felt a little uneasy.

But he was the one who proposed the big gift, but after returning, all the matters had to be handed over to Jun Shaoqian.

But he, the person who mentioned it, just stayed at home with nothing to do.

However, the necessary etiquette is still indispensable. Jun Shaoqian and Jun Shaojue attached great importance to this great ceremony, and the people in the Ministry of Rites did not dare to neglect it.

In Fenglin, the marriage of a man and a woman is called a big wedding, while a man’s marriage is a big gift. There are six ceremonies in a big wedding: adoption, name asking, Najib, Nazheng, asking for a date, and welcoming relatives. The big ceremony has a little change , adopted without changing, but added a little bit when asking for the name.There are two kinds of original names, one is that the name of the name is the name given to the girl when she was born.The second is the name of the name, that is, the name is based on the surname.It was notified before Nacai, so the name was only asked for the female name and not the male one.Geese are still used for name gifts.The order of etiquette is "Guests hold geese, please ask for the name, the host promises, guests enter, give, just like the first ceremony".

The objects of the gift were two men, so it was naturally inappropriate to ask only the female name, because no man wanted to be regarded as a female.

Therefore, in the customs of Fenglin, asking names is just a formality, asking about the names of two people, which can be appropriately ignored on this point, and the gift of asking names is that two people give each other the geese they have laid down to show Respect for each other.

Najib, that is, after the man's family got a good omen, he prepared a gift and informed the woman's family that he decided to conclude a marriage. In terms of big gifts, the so-called Najib means that two families gather together, burn incense and pray, have a reunion dinner, and then exchange marriage certificates. It means that the sons of the two families are about to give a big gift.

Nazheng, also known as Nabi, means that the man’s family gave the bride’s family a dowry gift, but after the big gift, they made a lot of changes. If the two lived in their own yard after the big gift and did not live with their parents, The day of accepting the levy is the day when the family "separates" in advance. The parents of both parties will send the things that the son should get when they are separated when they are old. , After his death, the family property will not be distributed to this son.

And if one of them goes to live in the other's house, then the "wedding" prepared by the two families will start from the other house, and on the day of gift-giving, the gongs and drums will be played, and special personnel will carry the gifts of the two families to the house where they will live in the future. Items are put into the new house, and the couple will decide how to deal with them on the second day after the big gift.

It is worth mentioning that the two "weddings" will not involve the family's land deed property, at most some valuable property.

Request period: That is, the man’s family chooses the date of marriage, prepares a gift and informs the woman’s family, and asks for her consent. "Please welcome the relatives on an auspicious day, which is called a gift." In exchange for a big gift, the two families need to get together and watch a special person for divination. After a few good days, combined with the almanac, the date of the big gift was finally set.

It is worth mentioning that on the day when Jun Shaoqian and Jing Chen asked for a deadline, because the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager had something to do and could not dare to come back, Jun Shaojue personally brought his Feng Jun to the Jing's house, and personally made an appointment with Jing Zhong. During the wedding, anyone with eyes can see that Jun Shaojue attaches great importance to his imperial brother. After the invitation period, the two new couples will not be able to meet again until the day of the ceremony.

In Fenglin Country, there are at least 36 customs of men's wedding ceremony, and Jun Shaoqian's and Jingchen's gifts are not the most solemn among them, but they are the most respectful ones.

After Jun Shaoqian and Jing Chen get married, Jing Chen is bound to enter the palace. If Jun Shaoqian has a concubine or a concubine in the future, then Jing Chen will definitely fall into the same existence as them, just like ordinary people who have a flat wife. So no matter how nicely Zheng Fang put it, she was just a "wife".

In Fenglin, this has always been a disadvantage. Although the folk customs in this country are much better than those in Moyuan, the law of men's gifts is not perfect after all.

On the day of Jun Shaoqian and Jing Chen's big ceremony, after Jun Shaoqian went to pick up Jing Chen in person, he knelt down with Jing Chen at the gate of Jing Mansion to say goodbye to Jing Chen's parents.

After getting up, walk three more steps, turn around and continue kowtowing, walk three more steps, turn back and kowtow again, in the last three steps, Jun Shaoqian and Jing Chen bowed goodbye to Jing Zhong and his wife.

"Nine buckles and nine farewells" means long-term, wishing parents a long life, and also expressing that they will last a long time. To welcome newcomers with this kind of etiquette, they usually tell the other parents "I am the only one in this life", "Yingyan is beautiful, very beautiful." What I read", "Coexist without a wife, hold the king for life".Among the many people who watched the ceremony, there was no shortage of high-ranking officials and nobles. Once they saw this ceremony, they knew it was not good.

After Jun Shaojue said that after adopting his prince, Jun Shaoqian told everyone that he would only have one person in this life, no one could surpass his position, no one could threaten Jingchen, and the palace only needed one person to come. Steward, there will be no one else,

The Empress Dowager Huang and the Empress Dowager Huang came back specially for their son's great gift. They were originally expected to persuade the emperor not to go too far, but who knew they didn't care about it at all.

In fact, no matter who is raising the child, that child is their grandson, so the reason why the officials are anxious cannot make them care.

Fenglin's wedding customs have led to extremes in this country. It is a very common thing, especially in the royal family with too many children. Adoption is commonplace. Regarding Jun Shaojue's decision to adopt, the eyelids of the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother Huang are simply moved. Didn't even move.

Jun Shaoqian's big wedding and big gift were unprecedentedly grand. When Jing Zhong and his wife arrived at the palace, they said that when someone from the royal family got married, the other party's parents would not be able to sit in the high hall. The great gift of modesty, the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager Huang never minded this.

Jing Chen turned his head to look at Jun Shaoqian, that usually cold man had a melting smile in his eyes.

"Shaoqian..." He turned his head slightly and whispered in his ear, "Don't... let go of my hand."

Jun Shaoqian paused and held his hand tightly.

How could he let go of those hands that had been hard to hold?
