In the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty, after the Emperor Hongzhi approved the memorials, he was practicing Taijiquan again. After several years of continuous practice, although he did not develop the so-called "qi sense", he was somewhat disappointed, but his body was getting better and better. Massive muscles appeared in his chest and abdomen, and his physical strength was getting stronger and stronger. He was always lucky to Empress Zhang, who was pregnant a few days ago, Let Zhu Youxuan be more and more satisfied with his body.
Considering that the two princesses, the first prince and the little princess, have been planted with smallpox vaccine, there is nothing else different, which means that the three children will never be harmed by the disease of smallpox again, and they are grateful to Jie Chun.
If Xie Chun hadn't warned that the eldest prince Houzhao didn't plant smallpox vaccine in time due to Gu Dayong's intentional obstruction, the second prince and the little princess would not have planted the vaccine. Xie Chun's secret recipe for taking risks to change the book would not benefit the emperor's descendants. When he thought about this, the Hongzhi emperor could not help but shudder.
Mou Bin, as the commander of the Royal Guards' Prince's pro army, reported to the Emperor Hongzhi every night about the big and small things in Beijing. After reporting the important things that day, the Emperor Hongzhi asked him about the big and small things.
Mou Bin replied with a smile: "My lord, Zi Hou has been unhappy these days and has been worried all day. First, his cousin Zhang Cheng married Ping's wife. He thought that his cousin married Ping's wife in the capital without asking his sister-in-law's consent. He was sorry for his wife. The two brothers also argued and quarreled about this matter. Later, through the mediation of Lord Wang Shu, the two sides barely reached an agreement. Tonight, because the housekeeper of Xie Mansion said that my concubine had a business deal, he was furious again. Later, he had a whim. He hoped that the Holy Spirit would grant his second concubine the title of Madam, which scared the housekeeper to lie on the ground and dare not get up again. Zihou also acted unexpectedly. "
After hearing this, the Emperor Hongzhi shook his head slightly and sighed: "Zihou is too sentimental. He must have felt pity for his two concubines. He did not hesitate to toss about several times. It was also difficult for him to release slaves and recognize relatives. However, the rules of etiquette in the world are like this, and sometimes I can't surpass them, not to mention a young earl. Mou Aiqing, I heard that Zihou sent you an invitation by concubine? "
Mou Bin's body was slightly shocked, but his face did not show any color. He replied truthfully: "Holy Lord, Zihou has given an invitation to his officials, and even the two adults Wang Shu and Wang Ao have also received the invitation. According to the rules and etiquette, the officials should not personally come to the door to congratulate each other, but considering that Zihou has always been sincere to others, the officials would like to congratulate each other tomorrow."
Zhu Youxuan pondered for a moment, wrote some words on the case, sealed it and handed it to Moubin: "Zihou married his concubine room. As the king of the country, I can't make people go to congratulate me. You can take these two things to Zihou tomorrow and give them to him as a gift. Don't worry, that boy will thank you very much."
Mou Bin respectfully accepted: "I will obey the order, and I will open the door and read it in front of everyone, so that Zihou can express his gratitude to the emperor."
Early the next morning, Xie Chun got up early and washed, put on his earl clothes, which he had not worn, and walked around the living room. He wanted to wear the groom's clothes, but Xie Li and housekeeper Sun refused.
ok If you don't let me wear the bridegroom's clothes, I won't wear them. Do you think I can wear the earl's clothes? Since then, no one dares to stop him. He knows that Xie Chun is angry with him, but as a father, Xie Li doesn't stop him.
Speaking of all the elders of Jie's family, the person who dotes on Jie Chun most now is his father Jie Li. Jie Li always thinks that he threw Jie Chun, who was only five years old, to his mentor Li Hao to educate him, and he ignored him for several years. Although he had no choice but to do something, he was ashamed of his eldest son.
He always thought that he had not fulfilled his father's responsibility, so he felt guilty. As long as Xie Chun did not do too much, he usually acted by his son's temperament, and did not abide by the rules of filial piety in the Ming Dynasty.
Xie Li believes that his son values affection and justice, which is a great good thing. Although it conflicts with the current etiquette and rules, he is a farmer and knows that women are not easy. If he takes a concubine in the capital and his wife Wang doesn't say anything when she comes home, she must be in great pain.
At noon, Xie's wedding team came to the homes of Li Da and Mu Zheng to officially greet the bride. Although there was no groom to greet the bride in person, the relatives and friends of the two families were shocked and envied.
In particular, Mu Rong's relatives and friends, all of whom are of humble nationality, were envious of the Muzheng family's ability to release slaves for the common people. Now they see Xiang Rui Bona Xiaorong as a concubine's room, a wedding ceremony, and a bridal sedan chair to greet relatives. It really gives the Muzheng family face and makes them jealous and envious.
They all cursed Mu Rong in their hearts: "Because she is so ugly, ordinary people are unwilling to marry her, and I don't know how my uncle was attracted by her. How could he love her so much? If his daughter had been chosen to be the maid of Uncle Xiangrui, wouldn't the wealth and glory of the Mu Zheng family now belong to his family?"
In the midst of countless jealous curses from relatives, friends and neighbors, Zhang took Mu Rong, who was covered with a red handkerchief, and walked out of the room with a smile. Looking at Zhang's extremely happy smile, people were secretly slandering and cursing.
When getting on the bridal sedan chair, the Zhang family loudly told Mu Rong as usual: "You will be included in the count's house. You should be diligent all the time, not lazy, and serve your uncle and his elders well. In the future, when the first lady and the second lady go through the door, you should be careful and obedient, and be willing to urge them, without any disobedience. Did you hear that?"
This is a common phrase that the woman's mother told her daughter when she married a woman in a rural family. The Zhang family deserves to be the daughter of an official. It is reasonable to change some of the words slightly.
Mu Rong was reluctant to give up her parents. She had already cried for words. Hearing her mother's regular inquiry, she sobbed sadly and replied, "Mother, if my daughter knows, she will not violate her parents' instructions."
Zhang Shi kept her voice down and stuck it to her daughter's ear, whispering: "Rong'er, don't cry, don't be sad, you should go out of the Mu Family with a smile. Whether the Mu Family will become successful in the future depends on you, and what are you dissatisfied with now? It's close to your parents' home, so if something happens, people will say hello, and my parents, brother and sister-in-law will help you. Now the important thing for you is to practice the skills on the diagram. In the future, your glory and wealth are all your own. It's better to practice more. "
After telling her daughter, Zhang unexpectedly sent Mu Rong out of the courtyard with a smile on his face and helped her to the bridal sedan chair. From beginning to end, she was smiling all the time. Her sad and reluctant look did not show up.
There are many gossipy relatives and friends who can't stand her face. They angrily talk with others: "The mother who cries for marriage, cries for marriage, has never seen a smiling face, and welcomes her daughter to marry. Is this woman stupid? Is she so happy to marry her daughter?"
As soon as her voice dropped, she attracted several women to attack her: "What is she sad about? What's so sad about? Such a good thing is spread out on you, more arrogant than her smile. If your daughter were married to a good husband, would you cry loudly? It would be good not to laugh and jump high. The great good thing is spread out on their Mu family. God bless them if they were not crazy."
As they spoke, they all looked gloomy, saying that their husbands or mothers in law were not as malicious as Zhang's, and they dared not fight bravely. They had reduced the amount of money they sold by 20%. They shouted loudly to give their mothers in law or men some good looks when they went home, so that their daughters missed such a great opportunity.
After returning from the Mu family after drinking the wedding wine, almost all of Mu Zheng's relatives, friends and neighbors were restless. Either men beat their wives, or women complained that their men were not decisive enough all day long. They could not be quick and heartless and sold their daughters to Jiefu as waitresses.
One by one they shouted: 'Don't touch my mother in the future, and give you a baby girl. Can you find her a husband like Lao Mu?' For a while, Mu Rong and his family became the objects of hatred and envy in the new village in the south of the city, no matter men, women, old or young. The trend of "there are many girls who are less lucky than Mu Xiaorong, even if they are as beautiful as immortals, it is also in vain".
At Li Da's home, the big Liu family, with a relaxed and smiling face, stood at the door very contentedly to greet the relatives, friends and women who came to congratulate him.
On the contrary, Li Da appeared in front of the men with a tired face. Some people asked about the situation. Li Dadu was so tired because he had been busy organizing the dowry for Xiao Xue these days. He had a bad rest. Immediately, all the guests praised him and praised him for his noble character. He could buy so many dowries for his sister. He was very tired and sighed.
In fact, the guests cursed in their hearts one by one: 'Pretend, pretend to be stupid enough, you can't use up two such dowries with uncle's betrothal gifts. This ten thousand year old man of strength has taken a piece of shit luck and has become an in marriage relationship with Uncle Xiangrui. Damn it, how did I go to guard the door for Uncle? Li Da is a cheap bastard. He looks like a bear, but he also shirks the burden of dowry. It is clear that it is the result of overwork in sex. I think he must have cheated his uncle's betrothal gifts and gone to the brothel to enjoy himself. '
Li Da Wanwan did not expect that there were so many outstanding detectives among his relatives and friends, and he accidentally discovered his privacy. Although he did not guess the truth, it was not far away.
Xiaoxue, with her head covered and a red wedding handkerchief, was helped into the bridal sedan chair by the righteous sister-in-law Big Liu. She didn't cry at all. Besides, no one told her that she still needed to cry before getting into the bridal sedan chair. Now she is bent on returning to the young master, and she is naturally very happy to accompany him all day long.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never seen a formal marriage. If there were two young men and women in the village where Xiao Xue lived, they would love each other, and the man would pick some money from his mouth, send it to the woman's home, and then take it home to live together that night. What kind of wedding is needed?
And among the untouchables, except for a small number of women who have self-respect and self-respect, who can stick to their husbands and suffer from hunger and suffering, most women do not love themselves and become prostitutes and prostitutes. Who wants a decent wedding?
