Come to the elegant and interesting boudoir, with light gauze and gentle breeze blowing, making everything feel natural.
"Miss, miss!" Xiaoyun kept urging outside the door. Liu Jinyu turned around helplessly and whispered: "Wait a minute."
Looking back, Liu Jinyu looked at the imperial edict on the table without any respect.
Because this imperial edict was to confer her as the Princess of Nanchang County - "The Wen of Concubine Liu, Princess of Nanchang County".
[In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty in the Wei Dynasty, the year is Yihai, the sixth month is Renwu and the first day is Gengyin. The emperor Ruo said:
Yu Xi! If Zhu Di is to be handed a title, if his love is seeking a good couple, if the couple is a good match, then Hua Zong will definitely be chosen.
The three daughters of Liu Yuanlang, the Yilang of Zi'er Dynasty, wore crowns of their own, and inherited the pictures and records. They were soft and leisurely, upright on the inside, and virtuous on the external publicity.
Since you have been honored by your in-laws and have good luck with Gui Zhen, I have ordered you to be the princess of Nanchang County.
I am leaving this envoy to Dr. Chen Guang of Guanglu to hold the book of festival etiquette. ..
You are devoted to rituals and rules, and you only follow the ceremony to achieve prosperity and prosperity, and to maintain the ancestral lineage forever.
But accidentally? 】
Slender fingers slowly traced the imperial edict's golden inscriptions. There was not much joy on Liu Jinyu's face, just a hint of sadness.
Although that person was the one she recognized, she felt inexplicably panic at the thought of leaving her father, her grandfather, and this family.
"Bang bang bang, Sanniang, the eldest princess of Huainan is here. Come out and meet her!" Liu Yuanlang's soft voice sounded outside the door.
With a "squeak" sound, the door was opened. Liu Jinyu, who was wearing a light blue chest-length skirt and a light blue tulle on her shoulders, looked at her father in astonishment: "Why is the eldest princess here? This... …”
"Not only the eldest princess, but also Ouyang Tong, the minister of Weiwei Temple, Chen Guang, the Guanglu doctor, Zhao Gong, the Chaosan doctor, the prince Han and the prince Huo also came." Liu Yuanlang is even more impressive than his daughter Liu Jinyu. Speechless.
Isn't it just a small business? Why are there so many noble people here?
"The emperor asked him to set off within three days. Naturally, all this must be completed within three days, which is a bit urgent." Liu Jinyu was able to understand Li Xuan at that time. The Jade Dragon Villa is next door, and Xiaoyun, a glutton, and that family I have a good relationship with the maids, and I can find out many things.
How could she not know that Li Xuan could have someone pass on all of this?
In fact, Li Xuan looked down on Liu Jinyu.
Although the emperor and the empress told him to leave within three days, they said it in private, but there were many other people around at that time. Some people did not dare to talk nonsense, and some people did not care at all. Now even the emperor asked him to leave. News broke that they were getting married in September.
Liu Jinyu once handled so many government affairs for her grandfather. With a little effort, she could still ask about such a trivial matter.
Chen Guang, the doctor of Guanglu, was invited to be a matchmaker when he was conferred and accepted. After asking for his name and address, he went back to make a fortune. Now it was Chen Guang's turn to accept the offer.
Since time is so short, I'm afraid Najib and Nazheng will have to do it together.
There might even be an application deadline, and it all has to be today.
If it is a normal date, the man needs to ask the woman for her opinion, and then find someone to use the horoscopes of men and women to find a few suitable dates for marriage, and then the woman can choose one of them, and finally get married on a good time and auspicious day.
But now, although it is not stated in the imperial edict, this day is on September 9th.
What we are doing now is nothing more than a formality.
September 9th, three months to go.
Although considerate, Liu Jinyu still couldn't help but said irritably: "Can't you slow down?"
As if he saw his daughter's uneasiness, Liu Yuanlang turned to comfort: "At least he is very close, isn't he? He is right next door. When the time comes, a door will be opened in the wall..."
"Aye, there's no such thing as opening the door on someone's wall, even if he is a son-in-law..." Liu Jinyu suddenly turned red and couldn't continue.
"Let me tell you, you can't open the door on the wall of your son-in-law's house. He's already thinking about that place before he gets married!" Liu Yuanlang looked indignant.
"Aye!" Liu Jinyu bit her lip and stamped her feet
, retreated into the house again, and then closed the door heavily.
"Hey, Sanniang, please open the door. The eldest princess is still waiting there!" Liu Yuanlang was really worried now.
With a "squeak", the door opened again, and Liu Jinyu reappeared in front of her father, but this time, her face was smeared with light pink rouge and she also had a crested hairpin on her head.
With a simple dress, you are already magnificent, dignified and elegant.
"It's a pity." As soon as the eldest princess of Huainan opened her mouth, everyone present was shocked for a moment, and then they heard her say with great regret: "It's a pity that my grandchildren, the older ones are married, the younger ones are engaged, and the younger ones are engaged. She is also too young, otherwise such a pretty girl would not have the chance to meet that brat like the King of Nanchang."
With a "poof" sound, Xiaoyun beside him was the first to laugh uncontrollably, and everyone else also laughed.
"The princess is ridiculous. My daughter has a gentle temperament but a strong nature. I have always been worried that marrying into his family will cause discord between husband and wife. Now it seems that Nanchang Wang Tianhuang is a noble man. He is magnanimous and sophisticated, and his children admire each other. I think it will be She is a perfect match, a perfect match given by God." Liu Rengui stood aside with an indifferent expression.
"It is Liu Weng who also appreciates Twenty-seven Lang." Ouyang Tong stood on one side and said softly: "Twenty-seven Lang was taught by famous people in Shu since he was a child. When he grew older, he was filial to his mother and kept the precepts. I wish to be a successful person, the emperor and empress entrust me with it, and I will be favored by a beautiful woman. I will have a chance encounter from heaven, a false marriage from earth, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match..."
"Okay, okay, master Ouyang Tong and the Confucian sect, if you really want to praise me, I won't be able to praise you enough for three days and three nights." Liu Rengui quickly stopped Ouyang Tong.
Liu Jinyu stood quietly on one side, watching the elders' seemingly nonsense words, but they had clearly explained several key issues about Najib and Nazheng.
"In this way, taking advantage of the good time and the deep love between children, the two families signed the marriage contract together." Chen Guang, the Guanglu doctor, greeted Ouyang Tong and Liu Rengui over with a smile.
While Ouyang Tong and Liu Rengui were signing letters of appointment and gifts, Chaosan doctor Zhao Gong immediately made a move from behind.
Immediately, load after load of red-lacquered gold-wired wooden boxes were carried in.
A total of four loads and eight boxes were placed flat on one side of the hall.
Zhao Gong took Liu Yuanlang's hand, came to one side, and opened the boxes one by one.
"Brother Zhao, it's just you and me. Let me tell you the truth. Although the King of Nanchang has five thousand fiefs, they are all false. There are only seven hundred households in the real fief. The family is in a difficult situation, so there is not much gold and silver, only some porcelain. , silk, tea, calligraphy and painting to express your feelings, please also express your feelings."
Hearing Zhao Gong say this, Liu Yuanlang breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Nanchang Palace is not wealthy, will the Liu family be wealthy?
Liu Rengui has always been known for his uprightness and integrity, and he offended Prime Minister Li Yifu several times because of this.
Liu Rengui was even more rigorous in inheriting the family. Except for some land in Bianzhou, the family didn't have much else. It was all supported by the titles of Liu Rengui and his sons from Shangzhu Kingdom.
Liu Rengui lived in Baekje, Goryeo, and Silla and earned three honors from Shangzhu Kingdom for his three sons. However, Liu Yuanlang was the fourth son and only had one casual official of Chaoyirang.
It is precisely because of this that he can handle all kinds of chores at home.
For his daughter's marriage, his father would certainly subsidize the dowry, but Liu Yuanlang himself would also have to contribute a large share. If the Nanchang Palace's betrothal gifts were too many and too expensive, it would be difficult for the Lecheng County Government to come up with a matching dowry.
Although these betrothal gifts in front of you are only the first step, from now on you can also see how heavy the future betrothal gifts will be.
The first time the box was opened, there were envelopes of copper coins inside. Liu Yuanlang glanced at it and whispered, "Five hundred coins?"
"Dalang's half-year fief tax is here." Zhao Gong smiled, and then opened the second box, and it turned out to be the same five hundred copper coins. Liu Yuanlang looked at this scene and took a breath. , whispered: "The King of Nanchang... Dalang is interested!"
Liu Yuanlang sighed in his heart that the King of Nanchang was still very good at life. Although the copper coins were not much, with a little change, they could be used in the dowry.
The third and fourth boxes are opened
, which contained two boxes full of white porcelain, Zhao Gong said softly: "This was fired in Jingdezhen. It was originally going to be shipped to the Western Regions, but now I have to make up for it here."
Zhao Gong was very proud. The workshop Li Xuan opened in Jingdezhen in his early years was one of their biggest sources of revenue from sales to the Western Regions and Tubo over the years.
The fifth and sixth boxes were opened, and inside were bundles of silk. The two boxes were full, and they were of great value.
In the seventh box, there was a whole package of tea leaves. The smell of tea was overwhelming.
The eighth box was opened. There were not many things inside, only a dozen calligraphy and paintings. But after seeing these calligraphy and paintings clearly, Liu Yuanlang's expression immediately changed.
