The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1005

"Master Hou, our village is getting more and more lively." Chang Le was not there, but Gao Jun was wandering outside with Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing looked at the Dongshan Market where people were coming and going, and smiled: "This is just the beginning. When the Dongshan Market opens, it will be lively. Let's go to the lake to have a look."

Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the merchants who have already moved into the Dongshan Market hang red lanterns at the door of each house, which is a joy. The lanterns are estimated to be hung until the day of the official opening.

Dongshan County is famous in Chang’an City for its beautiful scenery. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, many people come to Dongshan Lake with their companions. Even today, there are still many pleasure boats and boats on Dongshan Lake.

"I dare not imagine this scenery more than ten years ago." Xuan Shijing sighed.

Gao Jun also came from that time in the Hou Mansion, so he can naturally understand Xuan Shijing's mood. The Hou Mansion more than ten years ago, together with the Zhuangzi in Dongshan County, is poor, and the warehouses and granaries can Horse racing, who would have thought that in the blink of an eye more than ten years, the current Hou's mansion can't be said to be rich, but in Chang'an City, in terms of spending money, there is no one that can compare with Dongshan Houye.

"Master Hou, are you nervous?" Gao Jun asked suddenly.

"Why are you nervous?" Xuan Shijing didn't understand.

"The first day of September is the day when you and Princess Jinyang are engaged. After this September, Lord Hou will get married before the end of the year." Gao Jun said: "The marriage between you and Princess Jinyang will be decided by the entire city of Chang'an." It's all been spread."

"Speaking of it, I feel a little nervous." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "Why, this is your experience as a person who has been here?"

Gao Jun smiled embarrassedly: "Since we went to Longxi, and came back from Longxi, I knew in my heart that Long'er and I would definitely be together. When I had this thought in my heart, I wasn't nervous at all, but It's really the day when I want to get married, I'm so nervous, I'm no longer alone after getting married, and I'm less courageous, I don't dare to do anything dangerous like before. Dare to go up."

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Yes, when you become a relative, you become a family. With someone you care about behind you, a wife, children, and children, your life is not just your own life. Your life and death Health affects the heartstrings of the family. Before marriage, I was a boy, and my sense of responsibility was not so great. After I got married, I became a man. I have to carry the family on my shoulders and the responsibilities that I should carry."

"What Hou Ye said makes sense." Gao Jun thought about what Xuan Shijing said, and it was true.

"It's just that I haven't seen your child for some time, and I'll take it to Zhuangzi when I have time." Xuan Shijing said.

"That incompetent boy knows how to hang around girls from the Zhao family all day long. At such a young age, as a father, I can't beat or scold, and I'm helpless." Speaking of his own children, Gao Jun's face was filled with happiness. Smiling, but he couldn't stop it.

The Zhao family's child is Marshal Zhao and Xiao Huan's daughter, who is also two years old this year. The two children get together and run around in the yard, followed by several women and maids, afraid of bumping into each other.

"This shows that your son has a better future than a father like you." Xuan Shijing laughed.

As time passed, Gao Jun, who was originally young, had grown a beard and became more mature and stable. Marshal Zhao also began to grow a beard after he became a father. The object is positive, and Chang Ying's lifelong event is still a matter of concern in Chang Le's heart.

On the first day of September, Li Chunfeng looked forward to the auspicious day calculated by the stars at night. Early in the morning, Li Ke took the officials from the Ministry of Rites and rode to Zhuangzi. It was already half an hour when he arrived at Zhuangzi. It's all ready.

The betrothal gifts came up according to the list written by Xuan Shijing. Just the team delivering the betrothal gifts could circle around the entire Zhuangzi twice. Zhuangzi couldn’t find so many people carrying the betrothal gifts for a while, so Xuan Shijing simply used his power for personal gain. The [-] government soldiers in the camp were dispatched, and many people were found in the neighboring Zhuangzi, plus the servants in the house, this was enough.

When Li Ke and the officials from the Ministry of Rituals came to the gate of the house, the betrothal gift team waiting at the gate was startled.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, marriage was a trend of extravagance. Even if the customs were like this, the officials of the Ministry of Rituals had seen big scenes. Marriages between distinguished families, and dowry gifts cost millions of dollars. Meet the great witch.

"His Royal Highness, this dowry is really too much. I'm afraid it's not in compliance." After the official of the Ministry of Rituals dismounted, he secretly pulled Li Ke's sleeve and whispered in Li Ke's ear.

Li Ke shook his head and said with a smile: "No, there is no rule in the laws of the Tang Dynasty that stipulates the amount of dowry for marriage, right?"

"That's true." The official of the Ministry of Rites said, feeling in his heart, this Marquis of Dongshan is too fucking rich, a god of wealth.

When Li Ke came, Zhong Zishuo was waiting at the gate of the mansion as the butler, and when he saw him, he politely invited him into the mansion.

Xuan Shijing was waiting for the two of them in the hall, and the marriage letter was sandwiched in a hard-shelled post, and on the cover was beautifully written two large characters in gold powder: Marriage Letter.

After seeing Li Ke and officials from the Ministry of Rites, Xuan Shijing got up to greet him.

"I have seen His Royal Highness King Wu."

And the official from the Ministry of Rites bowed his hands to Xuan Shijing: "I have seen Lord Hou."

"Xiao Jing, those outside the door are all your betrothal gifts?" Li Ke confirmed.

"Yeah, when we start our journey in a while, I need to trouble His Highness King Wu a little more. The team is quite long, and there are not enough people in the village. I just found someone from ten miles and eight villages, but for safety's sake. For the sake of it, I would like to ask His Royal Highness King Wu to send someone to watch along the way."

The line was long, so it was inevitable that some people would be careless, but on this day, Xuan Shijing didn't want to make any mistakes.

"That's no problem, I'll hurry up and dispatch a team from the Xuanjia Army." He said as he untied the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the guard beside him: "Go to the camp and send a team over. Arrangements are made along the route between Dongshan County and Chang'an City to prevent accidents."

The Xuanjia Army is the Son of Heaven's own army, but Li Ke, as the commander of the Xuanjia Army, can still dispatch some troops within a certain authority, and today, even if the Xuanjia Army is moved, His Majesty Li Er will not say much.

"This is the marriage letter." Xuan Shijing picked up the written marriage letter from the table and handed it to Li Ke.
