Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

Lin Xuan blinked, frowned, and impatiently slapped away the dangling hand in front of him, and said helplessly: "Fang Yan, can you stop swaying in front of me all the time, can you Leave me alone for a while?"

Dialect curled his lips, lifted his robe and sat beside Lin Xuan, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked at him with some puzzlement: "I said what happened to you today, you are so careless , Although there is nothing we need to be busy with in this Imperial Academy, you can't always sit here in a daze, what are you talking about?"

Lin Xuan glanced at him quietly, didn't speak, just stared at him fixedly, making Fang Yan feel creepy.

Shaking the goose bumps on his body, Dialect avoided Lin Xuan's sight unnaturally, took a sip of tea to suppress his shock, coughed twice and said: "Lin Xuan, don't look at me like that, I'm under a lot of pressure of."

Lin Xuan was completely speechless this time, what he did made people feel a lot of pressure, and don't you think there is something wrong with you talking like this, this is ancient times, ancient times, it's true that your words are so modern okay.

Ignoring the dialect guy's incomprehension, Lin Xuan turned his head and continued to think about his own affairs. Ever since he came back from Prince Qin's mansion that day, Lin Xuan had entered an unhappy state.

If you want to ask what to ask, it is actually easy to understand. In modern times, there is a professional term called premarital phobia.Maybe someone will ask, Lin Xuan has always been leisurely, never paying attention to anything, how could he have such a literary disease.It turns out that everyone is equal and the same in this kind of thing.

Of course, the reason why Lin Xuan is so depressed is not only because it is so simple to get married, but more importantly, because of the news he found about the Princess Fuya, the most important of which is naturally Fuya Xu Shen, the uncle of the princess.

It doesn't matter if you don't check it, but you will be shocked if you check it. The Xu family, where the birth mother of Princess Fuya came from, is also a quite remarkable family.How should I put it, in the history of the Xu family, there have been a court elder, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and a minister of the Ministry of officials, and there have been many other positions.Of course, compared to when the Xu family was at its peak, the current Xu family has declined a lot, but there is a good saying that a thin camel is bigger than a horse. The side concubine of the only legitimate son of the Holy Majesty, she also gave birth to a son and a daughter smoothly.

In fact, to be honest, when it comes to background, although Lin Ruhai is already an elder of the pavilion, he may not be able to compare with the Xu family. There are many children.

In ancient times, the family was definitely a very important existence, and the prosperity of the population has always been regarded as a symbol of the prosperity of the family. It is a pity that Lin Ruhai's line has severed its relationship with the main line a long time ago.The exact reason is beyond verification, but according to Lin Xuan's observations over the years, there is no doubt that there is no possibility of reconciliation.

This is not Lin Xuan's subjective assumption, but based on facts. From the fact that the two parties have never exchanged a letter in these years, it can be seen how cold the relationship between the two parties is.

The gossip is a bit far away. In short, Princess Fuya can be so favored by King Qin not only because she is cute and cute, but also because the Xu family behind her has played a lot.

This also means that behind his unmarried daughter-in-law, two major forces are destined to support her, and this is undoubtedly the worst news for Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan has always been a person who is used to himself. This can be seen from the fact that he has always been attached to the Qinhuai River in the south of the Yangtze River, and even redeemed himself for Su Yan without hesitation. He did not consider what his future wife would think. come out.You know, even if you are presumptuous in dialect, you don't dare to bring a dick home so blatantly, but put it outside, and come to a golden house to hide the beauty.

As mentioned above, Lin Xuan never thought of finding a wife with a powerful foreign family, because he knew that if he married such a wife with his own character, the family would definitely not be quiet.Moreover, there has always been a saying among the people that marrying a woman from a high family and marrying a woman from a low family is actually very reasonable. In ancient times, many conflicts could be avoided in this way.

To say that some time ago, Lin Xuan knew the news that he was given a marriage, but he was still very calm. As for why he suddenly became depressed now, there is also a reason.

On the one hand, it was because he happened to meet Mr. Xu Shenxu when he went out, and on the other hand, it was because Lin Ruhai personally took him to visit Prince Qin's mansion yesterday.During the meeting, these two people happily finalized the marriage between Lin Xuan and Princess Fuya. When thinking about why Lin Ruhai changed his mind so quickly, Lin Xuan was also very depressed.

He originally thought that even if his marriage with Princess Fuya would be successful, it would take another six or seven months to get married, but who would have expected that such a two-talk would be so much earlier.

In fact, Lin Xuan is not the kind of person who is particularly opposed to marriage. He just got married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, which is really unacceptable for someone like him who has not considered it after finishing college.

In fact, sometimes things are like this. When it is not your turn, even if it is already close at hand, you may not have a big reaction, but when it really happens, you will understand what is meant. Depressed beyond words.

The current Lin Xuan is in this state. He never thought about it before, but now it gives him a headache when he thinks about it. As for why, it is naturally because of his chic life that is about to go away.

The topic is a bit far away. In a word, Lin Xuan's single nobles will completely cease to exist after death. You must know that there is no such thing as divorce in this era.Once married, it is a lifetime, especially for a wife like Lin Xuan with a strong family background.

In addition to these reasons, there is one more thing that is enough for Lin Xuan. You must know that no matter it is modern or ancient, getting married is quite a cumbersome thing, especially if Lin Xuan is going to marry now. Honorable Princess, that's more to say.All kinds of etiquette rules are simply a headache.

The ancient wedding ceremonies are divided into big Ding and small Ding. In the small Ding, Mrs. Quanfu, one of the relatives on the man’s side, comes to the woman’s home to send some wishful jewelry, cakes and fruits. specific date.As for Dading, everyone must know that it is the day when the dowry is given and the wedding date is formally discussed, usually two or three months before the official marriage.

In ancient times, especially for big families, if you want to go back on your word after making a small commitment, it is completely feasible at that time, because it is not considered a formal engagement at this time.But if you are regretting the marriage when the dowry is over, then I'm sorry, you will never be tolerated, the two families will immediately become enemies, and there is nothing to say.

Therefore, in ancient times, the dowry was definitely a big deal, especially when Lin Xuan was going to marry a princess, this kind of thing had to be carefully considered.Fortunately, there are precedents for this kind of princess's marriage. If you prepare according to those precedents, you can't go wrong.Out of respect and respect for the princess, the Lin family prepared a total of 36 dowry gifts, and carried them to the Qin Palace in a mighty manner. This is not because the Lin family is showing off, but because they must give the Qin Palace some face. This kind of moment is low-key is absolutely not going to work.

The wedding date is naturally decided by Shen Shuang and Lin Ruhai after discussing with the Qin Palace. In this regard, Lin Xuan, as the party involved, has no rights of his own. .

After the betrothal gift was delivered, the Qin Palace sent someone to measure the size of the house so that Princess Fuya could place furniture and other things when she got married.

Speaking of this, I have to mention that because of Lin Xuan's big wedding, the courtyard where he originally wanted to live is a bit small.Shen Shuang and Lin Ruhai made such a plan, and they didn't want Lin Xuan and the others to move to another mansion, so they directly connected the two courtyards next to each other. In this way, they didn't have to worry about the problem that the courtyard was not big enough.

As mentioned above, as a prospective groom, Lin Xuan is still very busy. As for what he is busy with, it is hard to go into details.

In short, although Lin Xuan has no say in this marriage and is not very satisfied, he still has to prepare in a hurry.First of all, he had to arrange things like invitations from his confidantes and friends, and secondly, he had to know the rules of the wedding banquet.In addition to these, although the elders were worried about the big and small things at the wedding, but Lin Ruhai was busy with official duties, and Shen Shuang couldn't be too busy alone, so he also wanted to pass the time.

After such a toss, Lin Xuan felt as if he had lost a few laps, but apart from these annoying things, some good things happened during this period.Some time ago, when Lin Xuan was working in the Hanlin Academy, the emperor happened to come to inspect, and he specially asked a few of their new subjects to ask some questions. None of the questions were too advanced. Face.

Even so, Lin Xuan didn't think about getting any rewards. After all, those questions were not difficult, and his answers were of little value.But when he didn't expect it, the imperial decree came down the next day, and he was directly promoted to a level, from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, and the threshold of the sixth rank was skipped.

And according to Lin Xuan's inquiry, among those who met the Holy Spirit together, only he and Huang Chang were promoted, and the others, not to mention promoted, didn't even get a reward.But after thinking about it later, Lin Xuan also understood what the emperor meant by this. It was obvious that the princess and princess of the royal family were going to get married. Ordinary people will not deliberately inquire about your background.

Presumably it was because they were afraid of being promoted too quickly, and Lin Xuan and Huang Chang were too young to have a good influence in the government and the public. With Emperor Longqing's temper, it is possible to be promoted a few ranks.

Don't believe me, the Emperor Longqing of the Great Zhou Dynasty should be regarded as a wise emperor. At least under his rule, there was no major turmoil in this country.But in some aspects, without affecting the overall situation, the emperor followed his own temperament. For example, in Lin Xuan's last imperial examination, it was obvious that the literary talent of the Tanhua was higher than that of the No. [-] scholar There were too many, but Emperor Longqing gave him the position of Tanhua.

As for the reason, Emperor Longqing also had his own arguments. What did he say? He said that regardless of the appearance of the number one scholar since ancient times, the candidates of each session are all elegant and handsome.And he thought that among the top three, only his appearance was the most suitable, so he was selected as the candidate.
