However, the palace obviously didn't have much interest in this marriage, so Emperor Wen and Empress Xuan had no plans to participate, but just sent a congratulatory gift as usual.
As for the prince, he wanted to come, but was persuaded by Li Hao in the end. After all, there would be a lot of officials coming that day. In the absence of Emperor Wen, if he came alone, he would be suspected of secretly making friends with the ministers.
Although Emperor Wen's temperament might not necessarily allow him to think about this, it was still right to be more cautious, so in the end he sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.
But without them coming, the Yuan Mansion would have been a bit more lively. After all, without Emperor Wen around, the people below could talk and drink more relaxedly.
For example, Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi took advantage of the banquet to put money on themselves, especially when Wang Chun, in order to rationalize the cause of the marriage, praised Li Hao for his good character and talent.
This can also explain how Wang Yao still had a deep love for Li Hao even though he was already married. However, Li Hao blushed a little after hearing these words.
But it seemed that others did not think so. In the drunkenness, Wan Songbai took the lead in boasting about how handsome he was when he was young. The little girl who peeked at him almost squeezed through the gate of Wan Mansion, which was much stronger than the group of students today. Then a group of drunken uncles and uncles started to compete with each other with their youthful handsomeness.
Then the one said that his family never had to hunt, because the geese that flew by would automatically land at the door of the house; the other said that his family never had to fish, because the fish in the pond all sank by themselves and waited for him to catch them.
The one said that on the day he got married, half of the girls in the county fainted from crying, and the remaining half had to squeeze into his bridal chamber; the other said that when he was a boy, all the girls in the village refused to marry him and threatened to throw themselves into the river. Yes, he threatened to go on a hunger strike. He even had three or four romantic encounters when he went to hunt pigweed. He couldn't stay in his hometown any longer before he joined the army and joined the dragon.
Among them, General Wu boasted the most unique thing. He said that he was so talented when he was young that he led two village elders to fight with his disciples at regular intervals in order to steal him as their son-in-law. It was comparable to a battle between two armies. In order to save the lives of his father and fellow villagers, he reluctantly left home.
However, because the last one was too outrageous, all the guests present drank collectively.
Of course, this was not the only incident during the dinner. He Yong was also teased by many people in the house today.
After all, in recent times, in addition to Li Hao's marriage, there are two other marriages that have attracted the attention of everyone present.
One of them was the marriage between the fifth princess and the son of Yuehou. From that day on, the young Yuehou in the palace was blocked by Emperor Wen and had to agree to his son's marriage.
Later, Emperor Wen was afraid of long nights and many dreams, so he issued an edict to fix the wedding date the next day, which was only two months later than Li Hao's wedding.
Let alone a royal wedding at this time, under normal circumstances, it would be considered hasty even compared to the average wealthy family.
The other marriage was that of He Zhaojun. After searching to no avail, He Yong finally gave up and set his sights on Lou Yao.
There is really nothing that can be done. He Zhaojun's reputation in the capital is just like that. Those families that He Yong likes are not willing to marry him, and He Yong can't force him.
He Yong had previously had an idea for Yuan Shen, and after being politely rejected, he had an idea for Ban Jia again, but now the Ban family is like this alone.
Although Ban Hou wanted to find a wife with a strong background to help him, the problem was that Ban Jia's character was much weaker than Lou Yao's, and how could he withstand He Zhaojun's domineering power.
So Ban Hou refused directly. Later, He Yong contacted several others, but the news he got was not very good.
Of course, given He Yong's status, it was impossible that no one would be willing to marry him, but He Yong looked down upon those who came to him.
In desperation, He Yong thought of Lou Yao's good fortune again. It just so happened that this time Lou Yao had not met his beloved and had not proposed marriage, so He Yong naturally had no worries.
So after spending a night to persuade He Zhaojun, He Yong took his son to visit the Lou family and brought up the marriage again.
The Lou family was already indebted to the He family, so Taifu Lou naturally took this into account.
It's hard to say anything. I can only say that this matter is a family matter of the second room, and the second room has to agree to it. He doesn't dare to interfere too much, so he can get rid of himself.
As for Lou Yao, facing He Yong, whom he has always respected and loved, and the He brothers, who have always been close to him, he really couldn't express his rejection.
So under the initiative of the He family, the marriage was restored. However, in order to express his apology, He Yong had the idea of compensating the Lou family, especially Lou Yao.
Originally, He Yong wanted to recommend Lou Niu to become an official. After all, compared to Lou Yao, who had mediocre qualifications, the talented Lou Niu would have a greater impact on the second wife of the Lou family.
For this reason, He Yong, who knew the inside story of the Lou family, secretly made an appointment with Lou Niu to discuss it, and asked Li Hao for help.
If the prince's proposal to recommend Lou Niu is blocked by Taifu Lou, I hope Li Hao can speak up and help persuade the prince.
But in the end, I don't know where Taifu Lou got the news, and he took the initiative to talk to Lou Niu. He actually asked him to find He Yong and refuse the matter, and instead recommended Lou Yao to become an official.
But for Li Hao, this is no longer a problem. After all, Li Hao really doesn’t want to help Lou Niu. Because of his unscrupulous temperament to achieve his goals, coupled with his good mind, he really wants to become an official and treat the people I'm afraid it won't be a good thing.
As soon as the lost marriage between the He Lou family was settled, it spread among the nobles in the capital. He Yong was laughed at because of this. After a lot of twists and turns, the result was still the same.
But this had nothing to do with Li Hao. Afterwards, Li Hao sat here with him for a while, then handed over the place to Yuan Shen to maintain it, and went to the backyard to enter the bridal chamber.
Needless to say, at this time, Wang Yao looked much more beautiful than before, sitting shyly on the wedding bed.
There is nothing to mention after that. After all, the process is still the same. Just worry about it on the wedding night.
It can be said that fish and water become partners, and the husband and wife spend the night together. We shake hands together in front of the hall on auspicious days, and fall in love with each other in the tent on a good night.
On the second day after arriving, Li Hao accompanied Wang Yao to serve tea to the Liang family. As for Yuan Pei, because the marriage was arranged urgently and he had to take care of the face of the Qu family, he did not return from Xuzhou this time. .
He just sent someone to send a letter back, informing him that he agreed to the matter and sent back the gift.
After serving tea at Liang's side, Li Hao took Wang Yao to meet Qu Lengjun. After all, the two of them would live under the same roof.
Li Hao still hoped that the two of them could get along harmoniously, and at worst not cause any lawsuit to avoid a fire in the backyard.
Of course, Li Hao believed in Qu Lengjun because she understood the overall situation and knew how to be patient, but Wang Yao and Li Hao were not so relieved.
But Li Hao didn't want the peaceful coexistence between the two to be formed by Qu Lengjun's constant concession, so today he just made it clear in front of Wang Jian, so that Wang Jian could have an idea.
However, Wang Yao must have been warned before she got married, so when faced with Li Hao's words that he hoped they could live in harmony, she acted extremely appropriately and took the initiative to treat Qu Lengjun as a sister. Of course, she herself must be younger sister.
But even so, Li Hao did not take it completely lightly, but continued: "That's good. Besides, my brother is not married now, and my mother has always been unwilling to take care of chores.
Therefore, Leng Jun is in charge of the family affairs. If Ayao needs anything, she can directly tell Leng Jun and ask her to arrange it for you. "
Li Hao's words once again clarified the power of the head of the family and told the two of them that he had no intention of changing the position.
But when Qu Lengjun heard this, he shied away: "Actually, now that Ah Yang has entered the house, the power of running the house can be handed over to Ah Yang. After all, I am pregnant now, and my energy is not as good as before."
After hearing this, Wang Yao's face showed a hint of joy inadvertently. Although she hid it immediately, it still fell into Li Hao's eyes.
Obviously, Wang Jiao still wants to take over the stewardship of the Yuan family. After all, after taking over today, as long as no big mistakes are made, the probability of changing her in the future is low.
Even if Yuan Shen gets married later and the Yuan family has a wife to take charge of it, by then
It is definitely impossible for Li Hao to live with his brother forever.
Especially now that Li Hao has been granted the title of Marquis, he will naturally live in separate mansions in the future. It will be fine if he can be in charge of Nanzheng Marquis Mansion. Moreover, this is not only a matter of taking charge of family affairs, but also means having the right to speak in the mansion. .
Just thinking of the instructions from her father, brother and queen before she came, Wang Jian declined and said: "Sister, please don't say that. The power of being in charge of the family is a heavy responsibility. How can I be qualified for it? It's better for my sister."
Seeing Wang Yao like this, Li Hao felt more relieved. If Wang Yao could really keep his emotions and anger hidden, Li Hao would be even more worried that something would go wrong.
Then Li Hao confirmed Wang Yao's statement: "Ah Yao is right. You have always been in charge of the affairs of the house. It will be easier for you to know the way around, so there is no need to let him go."
Hearing this, Wang Jian's eyes showed a trace of disappointment, but she quickly realized it and said: "My husband is right, you have to trouble my sister about matters in the house, so don't refuse."
After Qu Lengjun heard this, he didn't say anything more. Then Li Hao excused himself and left to do some work, leaving the two of them talking.
After leaving them, Li Hao called Yuan Wo and asked him to take some of the property estates under his name, and later Li Hao would hand them over to Wang Yao to take care of.
After all, Li Hao didn't want Wang Yao to get involved in the affairs of the palace. He just wanted to stabilize Qu Lengjun's position in the palace to prevent Wang Yao from having any bad thoughts.
But since he has married Wang Jian into the palace, he must still receive the treatment he deserves, and it cannot be much less than that of Qu Lengjun.
After Wang Yao found out about this, she felt happy and satisfied. Originally, after today's incident, she really thought that her status in the palace was worrying, but now it seems that at least Li Hao still has her in his heart.
After the household chores were taken care of, Li Hao was urged by the prince to go back to work in the East Palace. He said that there was a pile of important military matters that needed to be dealt with and he needed someone to deal with them.
It turned out that Ling Buyi didn't know what he was busy with during this period. He was rarely in the East Palace recently, and Li Hao also had doubts about this.
Ordinarily, I haven't heard of any major events happening recently, so how could he be so busy? Not only did he not have time to go to the East Palace, but even when Li Hao invited him to attend the wedding banquet, he declined with some excuses and just had people deliver the congratulatory gifts. .
Although it was a good habit to be polite without being polite, Li Hao still felt that Ling Buyi was planning something secretly, and the target of this attack was probably directed at Xiao Yuehou.
But what if it wasn't the case, so Li Hao sent someone to check to see if he could find out what Ling Buyi was doing recently.
And he returned to the East Palace to handle matters. After all, in this situation, the East Palace cannot cause trouble, otherwise it would be a waste of the current advantage.
But just when Li Hao was waiting for his reward, Ling Buyu suddenly broke out in the capital that he killed good people and took credit for his crimes, and robbed civilian girls.
The news spread so fast. It didn't even take a day from Li Hao's people to inquire about it, and it finally spread throughout the city. It was obvious that someone was behind the scenes.
Just when Li Hao wanted to find out who was behind it, the prince also heard about it. He immediately called Li Hao over and asked Li Hao's opinion.
Li Hao naturally didn't believe it. With Emperor Wen's love for Ling Buyi, he could always help him get promoted without any merit, let alone that Ling Buyi still had real abilities. There was no need to kill good people and take credit.
As for the matter of robbing a famous girl, it was even more ridiculous. Not to mention Ling Buyi's character, but to say that there were so many young girls from rich and aristocratic families in the capital who wanted to marry Ling Buyi, but he didn't even agree.
What kind of woman could make him so impulsive? Even if he wanted to marry him, Emperor Wen would not arrange it if he told her directly. Why would he want to rob her? This is completely illogical. He can't just let him just say this. .
So when facing the prince's question, Li Hao said directly: "I don't believe that Ling Zicheng would do such a thing. I wonder who your highness knew who said this first."
In fact, Li Hao didn't think that the prince would know the situation at this time. After all, the prince was generally not as well informed as Li Hao about external news, and his thoughts were not as thorough as Li Hao's.
I didn’t expect that the prince would really know this time
: "The source of this matter is Zhang Yao, the leader of the Yulin Guards. He found a group of old, weak, women and children from nowhere, and said that an army broke into their village more than two years ago and massacred them without any reason, especially those in the village. After killing the man, he cut off his head and took it away. They finally escaped and hid for several years before they dared to complain.
He had directly reported this matter to Tingwei Ji Zun yesterday. Ji Hou was already suspicious of the matter, so he did not alert anyone else, but secretly guarded the witness and reported it to his father.
Therefore, Shanjian did not know about this matter, but for some unknown reason, this matter suddenly spread in the capital early this morning, and then a dozen ministers headed by Zuo Yushi jointly sued Zicheng to his father, saying It is to punish Zicheng severely. "
Having said this, Li Hao suddenly realized a problem. There were actually quite a few people in the court who had a grudge against Ling Buyi, but who among them would use such means.
