Chapter seven hundred and twelve marriage (2)
Zhao Zhen was more happy, but he was not satisfied.
Li Rizun was leniently lending money, but Li Rizun showed his goal to make more and more demanding, so he had to marry his daughter.
but……
Needless to say.
Zhao Niannu secretly shed tears, saying that his father and the child would accompany you many times. Zhao Zhen touched her head and said, "You are older, and the girl is older but not the only one who stays. Zhao Niannu cannot say that I don't like Li Wei. Where did you like this era come from? It's all the orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker. Just like Zheng Lang, can you encourage his daughter to fall in love?
The Prince Consort's Mansion is under construction.
The Li family still had some money, and Li was also happy at this time. He never expected that the future would be so glorious to marry the eldest princess, so he added another batch of money. The prince-consort's mansion was built with a brilliant golden jade and extremely luxurious.
When the Tang Dynasty built Shangyang Palace, it only used 300,000 yuan at the beginning. Of course, it was far more than this cost later. But it was Ruoda Shangyang Palace. Now it only built one son-in-law mansion, with 150,000 yuan. The Li family took out tens of thousands of yuan to build. What would this son-in-law mansion look like?
Li didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot.
In fact, if it weren't for various reasons, it wouldn't have happened that Zhao Zhen was so angry that he could not have laughed or cried, and Zheng Lang was extremely embarrassed.
This son-in-law's mansion became the fuse.
The prince charming in Zhao Niannu's heart was a big face and was not handsome at all. But I dare not say that she was too old at this time and knew some truths, so she would definitely not do anything wrong. She could not refuse and was ready to welcome this marriage.
However, with the construction of the Prince Consort's Mansion, she was no longer happy.
Remember.Life habits.
Yanchendan's carving Mrs. Yanbo gave Concubine Zhang a lantern brocade worth hundreds of money to gold wire, but several people thought about another thing.
Why did Concubine Zhang wear it on her body?
Princess Anle’s skirt was once worth 100 million yuan, 100,000 yuan. However, Concubine Zhang regarded this skirt worth hundreds of yuan as a treasure and wore it with care during the Lantern Festival to show her beauty. How do hundreds of yuan compare to hundreds of yuan?
A skirt with hundreds of silk is definitely very good, but it is definitely not the best in the Song Dynasty. Some expensive and rare silk fabrics are worth thousands of dollars. Of course, Mrs. Wen dare not give it to you, it is too conspicuous. It is not about winning over the relationship, but about looking for a shot.
Wang Gongchen gave him a few porcelain bottles, and Concubine Zhang couldn't let go of it.
This shows the simplicity of life in the harem.
Even the skirts of hundreds of silk are not as expensive and exquisitely crafted as concubines. Therefore, a skirt of hundreds of silks makes Concubine Zhang love and is reluctant to leave.
In fact, Zheng Lang's wives, concubines and daughters were wearing many clothes, and there were many skirts with hundreds of silk. Cui Xian's skirt was worth nearly two thousand silk, Yue'er had several skirts worth thousands of silk, and a Shu satin skirt worth more than ten thousand silk, which was a dowry.
What thoughts would Zhao Niannu have when living in such a simple environment?
Not to mention her father, she admires and falls in love with Zheng Lang. Although it cannot be called simple, the family life has nothing to do with luxury.
Their living habits affected her outlook on life.
I think the Li family is a nouveau riche and Li Wei is a playboy. You can earn money by yourself. Where did your family’s money come from? It’s not rewarded by your father. As the emperor of the world, his father is reluctant to drink a bowl of soup. What is this ability!
The mansion was about to be repaired. Zhao Niannu's disgust became even stronger, and his face was as cloudy as the sky before the June storm came.
On this day, Zhao Zhen came to the harem.
Zhao Niannu said, "Father, the child is going to leave the palace."
"Why leave the palace?"
"I want to go and see Miss Cui."
"No, how much trouble did Zheng Qing cause last time because you went there?"
"These ministers are so strange. I am immediately a princess who is out of the box and has no power and no power, and I am not the queen and noble concubine. Why does Prince Zheng need to make friends with me, a powerless princess?"
"It is difficult to achieve a circle without rules. Sometimes the ministers impeach and make suggestions are too unreasonable, but the emperor still endures it. If you can listen, you will listen, and if you can't listen, you will let it go. Otherwise, once I don't listen, others dare not give advice, and the correct suggestions will not be passed into my ears. So..."
"The child is unhappy and just wants to find someone to talk to."
"Why do you want to find Miss Cui?"
Zhao Niannu shed tears and refused to answer.
Zhao Zhen had no choice but to say, "Let me do this, I'll let the queen announce her to the harem and let you talk."
Cao Huang Palace sent the little yellow goalkeeper Cui Xian to the harem. After meeting, he said a few words. Empress Cao stepped down and left behind Zhao Niannu and Cui Xian.
It was very strange, but Cui Xian was calm and stared at Zhao Niannu. She was not evil to her, nor was she worth jealous, and anything could happen to her husband. However, the one who did not move her family should be careful. She just treated her as a close junior, and her husband sent her to Khitan for her, and she had a little bit of fate. Therefore, Cui Xian looked at Zhao Niannu with a very kind look.
"Miss Cui..."
"Your Highness, what are you going to say?"
"I met Mr. Zheng when I was a child."
"Your Highness, I know that he has taught you to write."
"It's not this... it's an agreement, he has not fulfilled it."
"What agreement?" Choi Xian asked curiously.
"Mr. Zheng knew it in his heart, but I didn't blame him, it was difficult to do it."
"Can you tell me that agreement?"
"...I don't want to marry my cousin. I asked Mr. Zheng to ask him to plead with his father and refuse the marriage."
Cui Xian thought for a while, and finally remembered it and said, "I also remember a few years ago, after the official came back, he asked Yue'er to inquire about your mother-in-law's character..."
The result was not very good that time. Lee Yonghe's wife was very arrogant and Yue'er suffered a grievance. But without saying anything bad, Cui Xian didn't say anything.
"I also asked someone to ask me. Mr. Zheng advised me, but my father didn't listen. Mr. Zheng was helpless. I was still young and ignorant at that time, so I didn't blame him. However, Mr. Zheng Lang also promised another thing, he wanted to give me happiness... happiness. Guardian. Please don't forget this sentence."
Zhao Niannu sobbed.
How smart Cui Xian is, how could she not understand the child’s thoughts? But it’s hard to say it directly, and said tactfully: “Your Highness, the official is a good person, who cares for his family, is good to the people, and is loyal to the emperor. But this is what I saw outside. I still haven’t seen... For example, many families reunite, but look at my family, whether in Taipingzhou, Hangzhou or Northwest. The official only has half of his time at home, and the other half is most of the other
I wandered around the countryside, not to mention the Khitan, and went to the south again. There were more and less gatherings. That was not counted. In order to lead the way, the officials were in danger many times, and had to worry our family even more. But what should we do? He was a wife and father at home, and a minister of the emperor in court. First, the country, and then the small family. If we wanted to be a good minister, our family had to cooperate silently. But my concubine had been separated from the officials for nearly three years, so why are they really happy?"
"I don't know either, but I think you can accompany Mr. Zheng for the rest of your life. Although sometimes you are separated, you should be very happy."
"........., you are still young and don't understand. When you grow up a little longer, you will know. I have also asked about the character of the prince-consort. He is a good person, a low-key person, and is quite similar to his father. Although it is difficult to enter the center, it is difficult for all relatives to enter the center. Wang Yiyong's husband is just an exception. However, there are disadvantages and there are advantages. If the family is reunited, this is the true happiness. Besides, the emperor likes you so much, and you will not be wronged."
"I don't know either, but I just have a premonition in my heart. It's not good, it's inconvenient for me to get in and out, and it's even more inconvenient for writing letters. So I asked Mrs. Cui to bring a letter to Mr. Zheng, so that he would not forget his second promise."
“…”
"I, I..." Zhao Niannu sobbed again.
"It's not as bad as you think. Also, once you get out of the house, you can come to my house occasionally. If you have anything unhappy, you can talk to me."
"Um."
Cui Xian left the palace, which made her depressed. You can't blame the princess. The princess was young. She had heard about her husband's deeds since she was a child. Because her husband went to Khitan, she developed feelings for her. It was normal. Just like her daughter, she found two partners, but the daughter said, "Okay, as long as he has half the ability of his father, I promise to marry him." Cui Xian also wanted to cry, where can she find a good son-in-law who has half the ability of her husband? But when her daughter is old, she can't get married. So she kept searching.
You can't blame your husband, he just did what a minister should do, and the emperor can see everything about his husband.
Without the emperor's trust and various secret protection, there would be no achievements of my husband today.
She faintly felt that there would be a big problem with the princess's marriage.
Seeing the people in the capital rejoice, this idea is in my heart and cannot be said yet.
The marriage is coming day by day, and the people in the capital are full of enthusiasm. It is false to say that the country has a bumper harvest. In recent years, the country has suffered many disasters and harms, but under the emperor's light taxes and slack collection, the people have lived a happy life.
I heard that the emperor's eldest daughter got married, and almost all the people in the capital were decorated with lights and colorful things, which was very lively.
On the day of marriage, all the people in the capital spontaneously set off firecrackers, dragon lanterns, lions, and stilts, which was to express their gratitude to the emperor and the princess’ blessings.
After a series of long etiquettes, on the wedding day, before dawn, Li Wei first went to Hening Gate, where to change into his official uniform, and then came to Donghua Gate, and presented wild geese and coins to the inner palace as betrothal gifts. Donghua Gate opened, and the ritual officer and the yellow gate leader Li Wei were brought to the princess's bedroom.
At this time, the maid in the palace was asking Zhao Niannu to dress up, put on the nine-wheeled four-phoenix crown, and then put on the light red long-tailed pheasant wedding dress. After dressing up properly, Li Wei was sent in. Next, Li Wei rode a horse to guide him, and Zhao Niannu sat in a sedan without a barrier and set out towards the Prince Consort's Mansion.
Zhao Niannu's head was still covered with a veil, but the veil was very thin. You could see Zhao Niannu's appearance, which was very beautiful.
Li Wei was overjoyed and went forward to salute.
Unfortunately, he didn't see Zhao Niannu's numb and dull eyes clearly.
The group of people, in front of the astronomical officer, followed by the princess' dowry items and servants, twenty pairs of candles and lanterns, then to the corresponding envoys, eight boys, four square fans (held by the guards in the forbidden area), four large round fans, ten pots of flowers, twenty lanterns, walking and sitting. Then to the queen take a nine-dragon sedan chair, and the crown prince rides on horseback, and the crown prince rides on horseback. The crown prince is gone, so he has to use Zhao Zongshi to ride a horse on behalf of the crown prince. Two encirclements separate the prince's sedan chair. Behind the prince's sedan chair are officials of Zongzheng Temple, as well as elders and wives of the royal family. In addition to the yamen runners who lead the way, the ranks have reached more than a thousand people.
When we arrived at the Prince Consort's Mansion, there were also a series of lengthy etiquettes.
Zhao Niannu was like a puppet, led by the ceremony, completed the wedding and sent to the bridal chamber.
Li Wei is still socializing outside.
It was very difficult for this marriage. The man of the same age as him had already embraced his son, but his bridal chamber had not been completed yet. Moreover, because of this identity, he did not dare to take concubines or go to prostitutes. Even if he had a sneer with his maid at home, he was more careful.
Finally, the hard days passed.
He drank a little high, and the sound of firecrackers continued to be heard outside. Obviously, the capital city expressed enough blessings to this royal marriage. Li Wei was happy and staggered to the bridal chamber. There were also some small gifts, drinking a glass of wine and lifting the veil.
Zheng Lang never drinks alcohol normally.
Zhao Zhen didn't drink much either.
Seeing Li Wei’s wine in high spirits and his bright wedding dress, which was made of the most exquisite silk, with many green feathers, birds and flowers on it. No wonder, he was only in his twenties and young people also loved pretty. In fact, when he was a teenager, Zhao Zhen also loved fancy clothes. Later, his personality became more and more calm and his clothes became more and more plain. Zheng Lang was even simpler. If he wanted to be pretty, he had nothing to do with pretty. He usually liked to wear white shirts, but not fancy clothes.
Zhao Nianlang became even more disgusted. Li Wei wanted to drink a cup of wine. Zhao Niannu suddenly whispered: "If you want to drink, you can drink, I won't drink it."
