Chapter 5: The Clan Forced a Marriage to the Prince of Qi, the Emperor Granted a Marriage to the Gra

When Qi Heng and the others returned to the city, it was almost night, and the servants sent by Qin Yun had been waiting at the gate of the city. When they saw them coming back, they rushed to inform them, "Master, this servant followed the carriage all the way to the University Scholars' Mansion. Four women got off the carriage, and the servant waited outside for half an hour, and saw the young master and young lady of the businessman accompanying the four women to the street." Qin Yun was not interested in these things, but when he heard that Shang Qiyue was actually with It's an anecdote that people other than my mother and elder brother go out, and the next time I see you, there is a [-]% chance of winning.

Qi Heng understood what the servant meant, and if he guessed correctly, the people on the carriage were the four girls from Cheng's mansion, and the eldest lady mentioned by the maid should be the one he wanted to marry.Now it seems that this woman is not as rumored, maybe she will be a good wife, of course, it is only a good wife.

Time is at the flick of your fingers, New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve.Come and go, another year of spring and autumn, this year's New Year's Eve Cheng Shangzhi specially invited everyone from the scholar's mansion, one is for the marriage of Shang Qi and Cheng Wantong, the other is that they haven't met for many years, it's the New Year, and next year she will not be in the mansion Now, the two families will take advantage of this year to get together.

The Cheng Mansion was very lively, and the palace was full of music and music.Prince Chu's family and Qi Guogong's family all entered the palace as usual, and this year, Fu Changbo's family was also invited.The County Lord of Jiacheng and Rong Feiyan, the youngest daughter of Uncle Fuchang, saw Qi Heng again at the banquet, and immediately smiled, but King Yong wanted to win over Duke Qi, and made up his mind to ask His Majesty to marry him tonight. How could Prince Chu not know? King Yong's success is determined, he just wants King Yong to dig a hole and jump by himself. He thought it would take a few more days, but he didn't expect King Yong to be in a hurry, and he was in a hurry to reincarnate today on New Year's Eve.

The emperor's body was getting worse day by day, and he almost couldn't get up early this morning. Eunuch Yu, who had been with the emperor all this time, was very anxious to see the emperor suffering so much.When Concubine Xian came to invite the emperor, she vaguely watched Eunuch Yu wiping her eyes, and she felt a "thump" in her heart, and hurried up to the emperor's bedroom. Seeing the emperor sitting on the couch drinking medicine, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, How do you feel in a few days, I look better when I see you." The emperor lowered his head and covered his mouth and coughed a few times, "Concubine Xian, it's New Year's Eve again, ahem, the crown prince has been gone for twelve or three years." Xian The imperial concubine felt sad when she heard the prince, and suppressed the tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, why did you mention the prince so well?"

The emperor coughed a few more times, "Today's lunch break, I dreamed of Yi'er." The emperor mentioned the deceased prince, and his complexion obviously improved, "In a few days, when that girl of the Cheng family gets married, someone will pick you up Go to Cheng's Mansion." The nonsensical words made Concubine Xian completely overwhelmed, and the flickering candles in the bedroom reflected Concubine Xian's shallow sobbing, which was really creepy.The emperor sighed softly, adding a bit of desolation to the small bedroom, "Okay, it's time to go to the Tai Chi Palace, don't keep the family members waiting." Concubine Xian gently wiped away her tears and got up, "I'm rude! .”

The clan members in the Taiji Palace had already arrived, and when they saw the emperor, noble concubine Xian and the most favored concubine Rong coming, they hurriedly knelt down to salute, the emperor immediately avoided their salute, "Excuse me, we are all clan members today , there are not so many rules. Play music!" The Taiji Palace suddenly burst into joyous singing, with gongs (gong, 1 beep) intertwined.At this moment, the Fourth Prince got up suddenly, and Zhao Qianzheng saw that something was wrong, and was about to get up, but he was held back by his father, who was so anxious that Zhao Qianzheng blushed, and shouted "Father!" "I know you are impatient, and I am also anxious, but what kind of occasion is this, let you mess around? The emperor is just seriously ill, not old-fashioned, you just need to remember, today you can't say anything, you can't do anything .”

The Fourth Prince got up and stood in the center of the hall, "Your Majesty, today's New Year's Eve is a joy, and I dare to invite the Emperor to add another joy." Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Rong with a bright face from the corner of her eyes, and sneered secretly: laugh Come on, laugh, if you don't laugh, you can only cry to the corner in the future.The emperor should be very interested, "Oh, what's the joy?" The fourth prince was already impatient, "Your majesty, the young master of the Duke of Qi's mansion and the youngest daughter of Uncle Fu Chang both have both ability and political integrity, and are beautiful and intelligent. It's a match made in heaven, I implore the emperor to grant them a marriage."

After the Fourth Prince finished talking about Concubine Rong, he followed up, "Your Majesty, you have met this concubine's niece before, isn't she beautiful and intelligent? I think what the Fourth Prince said is reasonable." The emperor ignored Concubine Rong's words , I found it very interesting in my heart, "Oh, Qi Guogong, what do you think?" Qi Guogong immediately got up and knelt in the center of the hall, "The imperial examination has just passed, and the son of the humble minister has already failed the exam. How can he have both ability and political integrity? liked."

Seeing the situation, the third prince also stepped forward to speak, "Your Majesty, I think that a man as charming as Young Master Qi must have many people asking for marriage. If the emperor really complies with fourth brother's words, wouldn't it be unfair? My brother I have an idea, I don’t know if it’s feasible or not?” The emperor was a little more energetic at this moment, “Oh? What’s your idea, let’s hear it?” The third prince saluted, “My brother thinks that if Jiacheng and Miss Rong have a competition, According to the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, the Duke of Qi and Princess Ning will marry whomever the emperor takes a fancy to."

The emperor smiled and nodded, "It's indeed a good idea. It's just that we can talk about it later on New Year's Eve. Duke Qi, please go back and sit down." No one knew what the emperor was thinking at this time. Too much talk, no one dared to speak again, and could only watch this great opportunity pass by in vain.

The next day, Prince Chu's Mansion and the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Justice received the imperial decree to bestow marriage, "The rule said: The minister has a grandson who is suave and suave. A match made in heaven, I hereby make it a date, and I will marry you on this day, dear.” The first imperial decree of the beginning of the year entered the Prince Chu Palace, and everyone said it was a gift from His Majesty to the Prince Chu Palace, and only the people in the Prince Chu Palace knew about it. This is also a talisman to remind you, it is His Majesty's order.

The emperor's sudden gift of marriage this time was beyond the expectations of the three princes and four princes, but the gift of marriage from the descendants of the king of Chu did not hinder them.

After the marriage decree came down, the Chu Palace began to get busy in an orderly manner. Although they were married on the same day, Princess Chu took the two people's horoscopes and went to Xiangguo Temple to choose a date.Coincidentally, the March [-]rd Lantern Festival is on the same day as Cheng Shangzhi's Jiji Ceremony.Concubine Chu looked at the signature in her hand, "I just said that the girl of the Cheng family is a blessed one. Look at this signature: day and night, live up to her youth. With both blessings and wisdom, a good girl is waiting to be married. The case is equal, and it is suitable for an IKEA family." .”

The concubine looked at the signature in Princess Chu's hand, "Is this the signature of that girl from the Cheng family?" Princess Chu nodded, "I went to Xiangguo Temple with Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Su, Mrs. Cheng People saw that Mrs. Su and I tested the best lottery, so I went to try it, but I didn't expect it to be the king of lottery. The unnamed abbot also said that he would go to Cheng's mansion to watch the ceremony on March [-]rd."

The concubine Shizi was sincerely happy for Cheng Shangzhi, "Won't a woman just ask for one of these signatures in her life? Shang Zhi has all of them." Princess Chu looked into the distance in a daze, "You are a blessed one, but She is not suitable for the court, nor is she suitable for Xingzhi!" Seeing this, the concubine Shizi could only be slightly relieved, "Mother, don't let Xingzhi hear this, he can't wait to stay away from Shangzhi. It is suitable to be friends, this couple still depends on their fate." Princess Chu knew in her heart that she was just coveting the things in Cheng Shangzhi's hands, but she loved Shang Zhi after all, after all, she grew up watching him.What's more, my grandson's heart is not with Shang Zhi. If he acts forcefully, he will follow in the footsteps of Princess Pingning. This grandson of my family is not like Qi Heng who can't fight, and if he is not careful, he will pay for the Chu Palace. No, it's not cost-effective to forcefully broker this marriage.

In a blink of an eye, the snow all over the garden had melted away, and the Cheng family began to prepare for Cheng Shangzhi's Jiji ceremony.There are records in ancient etiquette: the guests of Jili, choose the virtuous and courteous married women as the honorable guests.Please resign with a note (jian, 1 sound), and send someone to deliver it three days before the salute.

Mrs. Cheng intends to invite her natal sister-in-law, now Ding Guohou's mother, to be the official guest of Jili, and she has already written her resignation, but there is news from the palace: Concubine Xian intends to be Cheng Shangzhi's admirer.After all, Mrs. Cheng came from Dingguohou's Mansion, after repeated confirmation, she settled on it, and even told her sister-in-law about it.The old lady of Dingguohou's Mansion is older than Concubine Xian in terms of age, and she accepts it quickly after getting along with her these years, but she is amazed at Cheng Shangzhi's ability to make Concubine Xian, who usually lives reclusively, take the initiative to be her concubine. Those who like it are really outstanding.

After repeated deliberation, Cheng Jiaji's guest list was drawn up:

Praise: Tianyun watched Master Yun (former Princess Hengyun)

Guest of Honor: Mrs. Fang, Dingguohou's Mansion

Advocate: Concubine Xian of the Northwest General's Mansion

Ban (bin, 4 tones) by: Imperial Disciplinary Secretary Yu Madam

Deacon: Princess of the Prince Chu's Mansion

Qin Shi, the eldest daughter-in-law of the scholar's residence

Grandson's daughter-in-law Shang's family in Zhenguo General's Mansion

Musicians: Imperial musicians

Among them, apart from the guests, the praisers and the musicians, Cheng Shangzhi wrote his resignation himself, and sent two big maids and two second maids in his courtyard to send them off as a sign of solemnity.Of course, many guests were invited to watch the ceremony, and Duke Qi's mansion must invite them.And the master decided to be Mrs. Cheng's mother and son.

On the first day of March, Cheng's mansion began to thank guests behind closed doors, and then the whole family "circled" around Cheng Shangzhi, which made Cheng Shangzhi dumbfounded, "This is my birthday gift, you circle around me all day, it makes me feel a little uncomfortable " Cheng Shanglu took this opportunity to bury her, "Yo, my sister is old enough, she is going to get married, and she will be out of sight and out of mind in the future." Cheng Shangzhi didn't bother to pay attention, and hid in the backyard with his sisters to embroider and have fun .

In the backyard of the Duke of Qi’s mansion, Princess Pingning was discussing with Qi Peilan what gift Shang Zhi and Ji should give. Qi Heng asked when, and when he heard March [-]rd, he said directly, "March [-]rd Lantern Festival, send it directly It’s just a flower lamp.”

Princess Pingning was very angry after hearing this, "You still think about that little girl from the Sheng family, let me tell you, don't even think about her entering our house in this life." I would jump out of this sentence and say it directly, but I would be scolded by my mother like this, so I simply left in anger.Princess Pingning looked at his back and was annoyed for a while, "It was a wedding gift for his unmarried wife, a flower lantern, thanks to him being able to say it, it really pissed me off." Princess Pingning was still anxious after thinking about it, "Forget it, let's pick some precious things from my dowry." Looking sideways at the daughter next to her, she felt sad for a while, "You are 22 this year, and no one from Dingguohou's mansion has come to discuss it. That girl and Ji, people from Dingguohou's Mansion will definitely go too, I have to ask the Fang family what they think of us."

Speaking of the entanglement between Qi Peilan and Fang Lingyou, the son of Dingguo Houfu, it has to be traced back to 13 years ago. The old Marquis Dingguo passed away 13 years ago, and his title has been passed down to the current Marquis Dingguo, but Fang Lingyou was unwilling to live such a boring life, so he resolutely left Kyoto and went to the Northwest to find his friend Qin Min's father, General Northwest At the age of 13, Fang Lingyou embarked on the road of joining the army.In seven years, Fang Lingyou had already earned a good military service. After returning to Beijing, there was an endless stream of visits from Gaomen's family, but he was used to being chic, so he would never get married, so he began to hang out in brothels and brothels. By nature, when he was in the Northwest, he often went to drink flower wine, thus delaying the war. This military merit was only given to him by the Northwest General for the sake of Ding Guohou.

All these rumors were spread by him, just because he didn't want to get married, but who knew that a heavy rain changed his mind.It was the third day after Qi Peilan and Ji Li, and she went to the Tianyun Temple in the suburbs to fulfill her wish according to the signature of Xiangguo Temple, but it rained heavily on the way back, and the carriage got stuck in the mud. She regretted refusing at this time Following her mother's suggestion to bring more bodyguards, she took only a maidservant and a bodyguard with her. Fang Lingyou happened to be returning to Beijing from Xishan inspection, and happened to save Qi Peilan as he passed by.

Perhaps it was due to fate, the two met again at the palace banquet three months later, and after many contacts, both of them had a good impression, and Fang Lingyou made a small plan to settle the marriage.Unexpectedly, there is an unexpected situation. Seeing that their wedding is approaching, an epidemic suddenly broke out in Kyoto, and Mrs. Ding Guohou unfortunately contracted the epidemic and passed away. The land was harassed by barbarians all the year round, so he invited himself to retreat to the north land, and it took another six years to leave.It's not that the princess didn't think about retiring the engagement during the period, but she was persuaded by Qi Guogong, and Qi Heng was very satisfied with this brother-in-law, but he was not in the capital all year round, otherwise the two would be best friends.

But Fang Lingyou didn't want to go back to Beijing for the past six years, but he couldn't go back. The generals in the north are idle people, and the magistrates are also afraid of getting into trouble. Every time the barbarians rob something, they don't dare to resist. Lingyou was really angry: I thought that my son in the Song Dynasty was so unbearable, allowing the common people to be trampled by the barbarians, so he was determined to change all this and trained his troops vigorously. It took six full years to change the idle state of the Northland until During the New Year's Eve, I received a letter from my grandmother before I planned to go back to Beijing to attend my cousin's wedding ceremony, and take my beautiful lady back by the way.
