"Why is this?" Han Du asked.
Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "This year has been a bad year and the court's taxes have dropped sharply. In order to save money, my father has canceled this year's Wanshou Festival."
Only then did Han Du understand why Zhu Biao sighed.
In the Ming Dynasty, which was founded on filial piety, filial piety can be said to be the first moral principle. As the eldest son, Zhu Biao naturally hoped that Lao Zhu's annual Wanshou Festival would be lively and lively to make Lao Zhu happy. This not only allows him to leave a good impression in front of his father, but also allows the people of the world to see his filial side.
But this year's Wanshou Festival has been cancelled. Even if it was canceled by the emperor's decree, it had nothing to do with Zhu Biao. But this is a flaw after all, and if someone takes a closer look in the future, it will also be a flaw.
Although Han Du understood Zhu Biao's pain, he had no good solution for it. Since Lao Zhu directly issued an order to cancel the Longevity Festival instead of letting him find a way, it shows that Lao Zhu is really determined to cancel it. Even if he has ten clever mouths, they are of no use at this time.
I have to say that although the emperor Lao Zhu was a little irritable, one thing is still worthy of praise, that is, he is sincerely good to the people.
Zhu Biao may not have expected Han Du to help him with this matter. Maybe he came to Han Du just to find someone to talk to. After finishing speaking, Zhu Biao stood up and left not long after.
Just when Zhu Biao was about to leave, he turned back and said, "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you something."
"Please give me your instructions, Your Highness." Han Du responded quickly.
Zhu Biao smiled, looked at Han Du teasingly, and then coughed twice and said: "It's not an order, but my father may issue an order in the near future to marry An Qing to you. You have to do it in advance." Be prepared. How does it feel when your long-held wish comes true?"
Han Du was stunned, his head was buzzing, and he didn't notice the joking in Zhu Biao's expression at all. It wasn't until he left that Han Du came back to his senses.
Anqing is going to marry herself?
What should I do before An Qing marries me? Should we hire three media and six people first? No, haven’t the three media and six people left long ago?
So what exactly should be done?
Korean
It was as if a ball of paste had been stuffed into my mind. The normally coherent thoughts had now become a messy navigation system for Chongqing.
Fortunately, although Han Du couldn't come up with an idea, he at least knew how to ask for help.
"Dad, Mom, this is the situation now, what should I do?"
After hearing this, Han De and Liu looked at Han Du intently, and then they all laughed.
After the two of them had laughed enough, Ms. Liu patted Han Du on the face and said, "You idiot, why do you need to worry about these things? My mother has already taken care of it for you. Then you can wait quietly. Just get married."
Han Du was dumbfounded. He didn't have to do anything, he could just wait?
Seeing that he was still stunned on the spot, Han De had no choice but to smile and say: "You are usually smarter than anyone else, but now that you are getting married, you act like a fool. A princess's wedding is a major event for the court, and it has its own etiquette. Let the officials worry about it, what do you need to do there? You can do whatever you want, and just wait until the right time to become the groom's official."
Originally, Han Du thought that getting married would be a very complicated matter. I didn't expect that in this day and age, I don't have to worry about it at all. In this case, Han Du once again devoted himself to the construction of the academy.
After the New Year, after getting angry with the Han family, Lao Zhu finally decreed the marriage. The auspicious day was set on the 24th of the first lunar month to marry Princess Anqing to Han Du.
Just a few days after the New Year, Han Du, Jinghaibo, finally came out to his own mansion, Jinghaibo Mansion, after being repeatedly called for.
Although the location is a little remote, it is already the most prosperous area in the capital. The nobles of the entire Ming Dynasty lived in this area. The only difference is that the location of the mansion at the duke level is naturally better.
New Year, new weather, moving to a new home in the New Year, this is something that makes Han Du's whole family happy.
"Wow, this Earl's Mansion is so beautiful."
As soon as the family arrived at the door of their new home, Han Jingyun couldn't help but scream.
It was indeed beautiful. Even Han Du couldn't help but nod and smiled with satisfaction after seeing it.
Unlike ordinary houses, the Earl's Mansion has a fixed style. But don’t think that this fixed thing will be ugly. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
Regardless of whether it is a mansion at the level of a duke, it is not only full of the majesty you want, but it is also very beautiful, far beyond the homes of ordinary people.
After all, this is a symbol of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, and it cannot be compared with ordinary people's homes.
The mansion is full of pavilions, rockery, waterside pavilions, and garden corridors. This is much better than the Han family's previous house and the backyard of Mingjingzhai.
Before the family could get over the joy of moving to a new home, they hurriedly adjusted their mentality and prepared to welcome Princess Anqing.
When the auspicious day arrived, Lao Zhu sent an old eunuch as a messenger to summon Han Du, the prospective consort, to Dong'anmen. Lao Zhu soon summoned Han Du and rewarded him with jade belts, boots, dust hats, saddles, a hundred red horses, a hundred pairs of silverware, a hundred clothes, and a betrothal gift of ten thousand taels of silver.
After the reward, Lao Zhu also held a banquet in honor of him. The banquet was of nine-cup size. At the end of the banquet, Han Du, the quasi-consort Han Du, wanted to express his gratitude to his father-in-law, Zhu. He rode on a horse with a saddle and bridle painted with gold-painted lychee flower patterns and a mattress made of golden monkey fur. Holding three-shaped umbrellas, a team of fifty palace maids played music and led the way until they returned to Jinghaibo Mansion.
On the day of the wedding, Han Du, the consort, wore casual clothes and a jade belt, rode to Dong'an Gate, where he changed into official uniform, used wild geese, coins, silk, etc. as betrothal gifts, and went to the residence of Princess Anqing to marry her in person. At this time, Princess Anqing was wearing a crown with nine feathers and four phoenixes, a wedding dress embroidered with a long-tailed pheasant and light red sleeves. She got on a sedan without a barrier and set off towards Jinghaibo Mansion under the guidance of Han Du.
Leading the way are: the astronomical officer, as well as the dowry items and servants that should be equipped according to the status of a princess.
Princess Anqing’s dowry: a phoenix crown decorated with pearls, nine colorful golden pheasants, and four phoenixes, a gorgeous dress embroidered with pheasants, a pair of pearl and jade pendants, a gold leather belt, a jade dragon crown, a silk jade ring, Northern pearl crown flower comb ring, Qibao crown flower comb ring, pearl coat, half-sleeved top, pearl emerald collar four-season clothes, pearl-embedded goldware, gold-painted wares, gold-plated wares, gold-plated sedan chairs for traveling, etc. , as well as brocade silk gold curtains, furnishings, mats, carpets, screens and other items.
According to the envoys, there are eight boys with hairpins on their heads, four square fans, four round fans, ten pots of flowers that lead to obstacles, and twenty lanterns to make walking and sitting obstacles.
