"East, further east!"

"Come on, come on... Hey, why are you so clumsy? It's bad luck if the red silk is crooked!"

"Come down, it's you, go up and hang the lantern! Remember, the higher you hang it, the more prosperous your life will be after the young lady gets married!"



Early in the morning, everywhere inside and outside the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion was filled with critical voices, and the figure of the old housekeeper was busy. No one noticed that the boy hanging a lantern on the beam was still raising his neck, waiting for the old housekeeper's review.

, but the old housekeeper still left him behind and went to tidy up the third lady’s boudoir.

Today, the master has specially told me that although the Baihua Garden and the main courtyard are both under renovation, the best yard must be selected for Ling Zihan to live in so that she can feel comfortable. Seeing that the master cares so much about Miss Third, the old housekeeper

I was extremely happy, dragging my relatively neat old bones to take care of everything about the wedding party for this highly publicized marriage.

It stands to reason that the marriage contract concluded by the Holy Spirit, the three documents and the six rituals were all handled by Qin Tianjian. However, the Holy Spirit was so fond of the prince that he acquiesced to the prince's wishes and allowed him to take the wedding ceremony in accordance with the folk wedding customs.

The people from Qin Tianjian went to personally give gifts to the Ling family to show their honor to the unmarried bride.

.But for the Prime Minister, Xuanyuan Huang's arrival is an honor to the entire Ling family. In addition, Ling Zihan is waiting to be married in the palace, and she is also the first of many princes and concubines since the beginning of the Western Dynasty.

It was a great honor, which gave Ling Xiang more face, made him smile naturally, and made the arrangements more grand.

And not long after Xuanyuan Huang came to give the grand ceremony, the Queen Mother's decree also came, saying that she would allow Ling Xiang to enter the palace and take Ling Zihan back to the house to observe the ceremony. There was an extra royal grace.

The prime minister was laughing so hard that he couldn't close his eyes. No, he ordered people to take care of everything in the house, so he happily entered the palace early to take Ling Zihan back to the house.

Here, the Prime Minister had just brought Ling Zihan back to his home, and before there was a "caring" conversation between father and daughter, news came that Xuanyuan Huang had arrived at the corner of the street.

Compared to his daughter, Ling Chenli obviously paid more attention to Xuanyuan Huang, the extremely favored Ninth Prince, and without even a beat, he immediately turned around and quickly left the house to greet him.

Kneel down and bow respectfully, and bring your family to greet you.

Ling Chenli, the old fox, took great advantage of this honor, smiling from heart to heart, but he said to others that he was happy because of the wedding. As for whether he was happy because the wedding could give him a stable status, or because it could give him his daughter

To bring happiness and joy depends on his conscience.

"Mr. Ling, please get up." Xuanyuan Huang was still sitting in the wheelchair, smiling evilly, looking at Ling Chenli who seemed a little different today, with a touch of contempt in his eyes.

After Prime Minister Ling got up, he led Xuanyuan Huang into the main hall.

A group of makeup delivery teams filed in under the command of Yan Xiuyuan.

The courtyard of the main hall is filled with various gold-painted camphor wood boxes painted with nine layers of red paint, which means prosperity and durability.

Jian Zheng of the Qintian Prison replaced the matchmaker. After Xuanyuan Huang exchanged a few words with Ling Chenli, he handed over a gift book wrapped in gold brocade and sealed with a lacquer seal, which was the Three Books.

The book of rites among the six rites.

"Mr. Prime Minister, this is the book of etiquette from His Highness King Ke. It details the types of gifts and their corresponding quantities. Please take a look at it." Jian Zheng saluted Ling Chenli, and when he saw him opening the book of etiquette to read, he said again

: "The Emperor has ordered that if you have any objections, you can ask the Prime Minister to raise them boldly."

Ling Chen immediately opened the delicate package, took out the gold book inside, and unfolded it. On each page of red paper, the name and quantity of the gift were written in gold powder. The layout of this gift book alone has an indescribable luxury. Of course, ordinary

Of course, others can't compare, but the other party is a prince and a royal family, so it is not a luxury. But it can be felt that King Ke attaches great importance to this marriage. No, perhaps it should be said that it is King Ke who attaches great importance to Ling Zi.

The heavy stone of the culvert.

Ling Chenli, who had his head lowered, reached out and touched his chin, as if he was thinking about something. He quickly closed the post, stood up and saluted Xuanyuan Huang again, then sat down and looked at Jian Zheng of Qin Tian Prison and said, "Excuse me.

Mr. Jianzheng, you can start the ceremony. If you miss the auspicious moment, I'm afraid the wedding will be delayed."

Ling Zihan was standing in the room next to the hall. Through the door, she could clearly hear the sounds in the hall.

The Qin Tianjian's footsteps moved to the side, opened a box, and explained casually: "Originally, these six rites should be done in order, but the days specified by the emperor are tight, and the auspicious time is a little rushed, so it is a last resort.

In this case, I hope the prince and Prime Minister Ling will not blame Wei Chen for being in a hurry."

Indeed, it stands to reason that in ancient times, the Three Books and Six Etiquettes were extremely important. It can be said that missing any of them would be unlucky. But because she and Xuanyuan Huang were married by the emperor, there was no such thing as a "marriage proposal" by Nacai.

, asking for the name (combined with eight characters), Naji (letter of appointment), applying for an appointment and choosing a date are also all matters

The Qin Tian Jian did everything for him. If not for the Holy Spirit's decree today, the Qin Tian Jian would still have to handle this extravagant ceremony. However, Xuanyuan Huang wanted to express his sincerity in marrying Miss Ling San, and the emperor had to win over her.

With the heart of an important minister, the supervisor of the Qintian Prison changed from a royal agent to a matchmaker agent.

Jian Zheng carefully observed the faces of the two men sitting in the room. Compared to Ling Xiang's old-fashioned and majestic face, Xuanyuan Huang's made people feel more panicked, because the evil expression really made people dare not guess.

, it’s not clear, so I have to be careful.

He took out a square red sandalwood box from the front cage. The prison officer was holding the heavy sandalwood box and took a step forward. Then the accompanying palace maid came over, took the sandalwood box on a tray and sent it away.

Show it to the Prime Minister.

When you walk in front of the Prime Minister, open it.

The golden light seems to be able to illuminate this room. Of course, the prerequisite is that it is at night.

The heavy gold ingots were displayed in front of the Prime Minister, and the prisoner gave the auspicious words at the right time: "Miss Ling San is unique, a royal invitation!"

Ling Chenli glanced at the box again, and after listening to the auspicious words, the corners of his mouth turned up in an almost imperceptible arc, and he nodded slightly, and the palace maid retreated.

The eunuch waved his hand, and two stronger eunuchs came forward, carrying the first box they had just opened, and placed it in front of the prime minister. "A load of wedding cakes, please take a look at it."

I wish King Ke and Princess Ke a happy life."

The old housekeeper standing next to the prime minister showed a kind look, hurriedly looked at the contents of the box, and motioned to the boy next to him with a pen to write down the calculations.

Then, Jian Zheng opened the second box, and a faint umami smell suddenly came out. Jian Zheng pursed his lips and smiled, and continued to announce the auspicious words: "Let the vegetables make you rich, and the eight types of seafood are perfect."

In the side room, Ling Zihan covered her nose with her handkerchief. She frowned slightly and motioned to Liuyun beside her to open the window. Jinghao, who was holding a tray covered with silk cloth, couldn't help but asked curiously:

"Miss, why are you giving seafood as a gift? It's not like no one has eaten it!" They are not ordinary people, so they naturally have no shortage of such things.

Ling Zihan took a few breaths of air that was no longer smelly of fish and regained her composure, but her face felt a little warm. She said yes, no matter how unruly she was, she was a little embarrassed to answer Jing Hao's question. But looking at her

With eyes full of curiosity, he bit his lower lip and whispered two words - "violent".

"cough--"

In the main room, as an expert, Xuanyuan Huang's hearing is already higher than that of ordinary people. What's more, there is only a door between the two rooms, so how can he not hear?

Ling Xiang, who was not sure why, thought that Xuanyuan Huang had choked on his cup of tea. He quickly turned to ask, his face completely filled with "worry". But he didn't know whether he was worried about whether he was choked or whether he was worried about being blamed for it.

Xuanyuan Huang waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, motioned to stand where he was, looked at Jian Zheng who was waiting for instructions, and continued to salute.

Then, he opened a few more large boxes, and as before, the eunuchs carried them over and showed them to the prime minister. They shouted out the names and numbers one by one, and at the end they did not forget to add a compliment and auspicious words.

"Three animals benefit the market, chickens and ducks are plentiful, fish come in pairs, and there are fish every year..."

Xuanyuan Huang didn't care what Jian Zheng said, but he was more concerned about Ling Zihan in the room. He was distractedly listening to the conversation between her and Jing Hao Liuyun, and couldn't help laughing.

"Giving gifts is not celebrating the New Year. How can we have more than enough every year and have a beginning and an end!"

"The pigs, cattle and sheep will be profitable? Then I will go get a few tomorrow and in the nursing home, will I make a fortune? Ignorance..."

All these fallacies came out of the girl's mouth, and Xuanyuan Huang was very happy to hear them. In his heart, as expected, this girl is really someone he values, and like him, she doesn't care about these vulgar etiquette. However, he

It was because the customs were troublesome, but she did not agree with the meaning of these customs. She had a heated debate with Liu Yun, who was completely conservative, and persuaded Jing Hao to join her.

It seemed that they had just separated not long ago, but he suddenly found that he missed her a little bit again.

"Your Majesty?" Qin Tianjian's voice came, calling back Xuanyuan Huang's thoughts.

Raising his head, Xuanyuan Huang glanced in his direction and raised his eyebrows slightly.

I saw that Jian Zheng had opened an unknown number of boxes, but he was stunned there with a troubled expression on his face. Xuanyuan Huang guessed that there was something wrong, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, this... this coconut..." The head of Qin Tianjian wiped the sweat from his forehead, quietly glanced at Ling Xiang, who had no strange expression on his face, coughed dryly, and then said with enough confidence: "

Your Majesty, these coconuts should not be paired."

Coconuts, which symbolize father and son, should be given as a gift only when the elders are both present, but Xuanyuan Huang prepared a pair at this time, which really troubled Jian Zheng.

Xuanyuan Huang was arranged by Yan Xiuyuan after asking the matchmaker. He didn't know the rules and asked, "How do you say this?"

Ling Xiang's face changed slightly, but his eyes darkened. But he returned to normal in an instant. Without waiting for the supervisor to explain, he said to the old housekeeper beside him: "Ask someone to invite Mengxian here. After all, she is also the mistress of the house.

Women should also suffer the same thing when it comes to marriage."

"No need," a clear voice came through the door.

Xuanyuan Huang was startled and turned to look in the direction of the screen. He still didn't understand what Ling Zihan meant by speaking at this moment. He didn't understand until the sound of pushing the door came out and Jinghao came over with a tray in his hands.

The silk satin on the tray had long been removed, and on it lay a scroll of portraits of the lady of the country and a tablet.

"Mr. Prime Minister, the young lady said that only Mrs. Guo can bear the pain of a pair of coconuts." As she said this, without asking Prime Minister Ling for his opinion, she placed the tray on the desk opposite the door of the main hall, next to Ling Ling.

Where the tea cup was placed, he turned around and said to Qin Tian Jian, "Master Jian Zheng, you can continue like this!"

"Okay." Jian Zheng returned the gesture with his hand.

Jinghao glanced at Ling Xiang, who was squeezing the tea cup tightly and his fingers were trembling slightly. He didn't know what he was thinking about. A relieved smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He immediately walked to Xuanyuan Huang's side, bowed and bowed his head.

She approached him and said, "Your Majesty, my young lady also has a message for me to convey to Your Majesty. In fact, you can just prepare a coconut!"

After saying that, she glanced at the prime minister again with her peripheral vision, whose eyes were as dark as thick fog, she secretly smiled, got up and left the main room, walked around the screen, and went back to the side room to face Ling Zihan.

report.

But it's a good thing that Ling Xiang, an old fox, was able to keep up the pretense. He smiled calmly and gestured to the prisoner to continue. He clasped his fists and said to Xuanyuan Huang: "I have no idea how to teach my daughter. I hope the prince will forgive me."
