marquis of jingan

The twelfth of the first lunar month.

The day of Yue King Li Yu's wedding.

On this day, because the royal family held a happy event, Jiankang City was also quite lively. After all, the people who married their daughters were not from small families. From early in the morning on this day, there were dragon and lion dancers in the streets and alleys. Walk the streets and alleys to publicize this happy event.

Officials above the fifth grade in Beijing have basically received invitations, inviting them to come and have a wedding.

This is the marriage between His Majesty's younger brother and the youngest daughter of General Zhao. As long as there is a name in Jiankang City, they have to give some face to the two families. Therefore, at this time, there is no way to be present except for the ministers who returned home during the New Year's Eve. In addition, the rest of the ministers in Jiankang City, including princes and nobles, as well as noble generals, basically wanted to participate in this wedding.

Shen Yi is no exception.

Although his current grade is only Grade [-], he has also received two invitations.

Faced with these two invitations, Shen Yi naturally went to the Yue Palace without hesitation.

After all, he just didn't know the young His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and he just had an enmity with the Zhao family. Compared with the two, he must go to the family with a better relationship.

Moreover, the home of the marriage is after all at the man's place, at the Anpinghou's Mansion, and the banquet was held only because of the great fortune of the family. If it was an ordinary family, most of them would just invite a few tables of relatives to settle the matter.

When the evening was approaching, Shen Yi went out to have a wedding banquet. Originally, he wanted to bring his family with him, but Lu Ruoxi wanted to bring his son at home, and he didn't want to go out, and neither his father nor the old man wanted to participate in the wedding, so Shen Yi simply went alone.

Although Shen's house does not occupy a large area, the location is not bad. It is located in the North City of Jiankang, so it is not too far from the Yuewang Mansion, which is also in the North City. Shen Yi walked for a while alone, and arrived near the Yuewang Mansion.

After arriving at the main entrance of Prince Yue's Mansion, Master Shen looked around, and saw the courtyard wall of Prince Jin's Mansion just one street away.

The two palaces are in the same workshop, very close to each other.

On such a day of great joy today, the Yue Palace is naturally overcrowded. At this moment, the entrance of the Yue Palace is still crowded with people. Shen Yi finally walked to the door. After being appointed as an official, he first glanced at Shen Yi, and then muttered in a low voice: "Why is the sixth-rank official here..."

But that being said, because there was an invitation card, he still put Shen Yi in, pointed out the direction for Shen Yi casually, and said lazily: "My lord, you sit in the room in the outer courtyard, take a seat for yourself. "

Officials of the sixth rank are already like gods to ordinary people in the local area, but in a capital like Jiankang, the most indispensable thing is officials, various yamen, various official ranks Well, not to mention that there are as many sixth-rank officials as a cow's hair, but they are also countless.

People have said that anyone who is randomly arrested in the antique alley of Dongshi Street, as long as they wear jade around their waists, will be punished as corruption, and at most half of them will be wronged.

And the wronged half... the vast majority are not officials.

Therefore, a sixth-rank official like Shen Yi is not very eye-catching in Jiankang City.

If it wasn't for Zhang Jian's relationship, if he went to knock on Prime Minister Zhang Jing's door to ask for an audience, he would probably be stared at by the Zhang family's concierge.

Shen Yi was not angry about being underestimated by the concierge. He didn't intend to go to the inner courtyard to have a meal at first, but he just took the invitation. It is a good thing for him to leave after eating.

Therefore, Master Shen entered the Yue Palace with a smile, found a corner room in the outer courtyard, opened the door and entered, found a seat and sat down.

Right now, there aren't many people on this table.

Because when you go to the Palace of the King of Yue for dinner, everyone naturally wants to sit in a more conspicuous place, preferably a place where you can see His Royal Highness the King of Yue. Although the civil servants don't have any close contacts with the King of Yue, they always try to be fresh. I want to see what this brother of His Majesty looks like.

After sitting in the corner, Shen Yi watched his nose, nose, and heart, waiting quietly for the food to be served.

Soon it was evening, and the sun was slowly setting.

Because it was winter, the sun went down very early and quickly, and after a while, the sky became dark.

Marriage in this era is done at dusk, which means the delivery of heaven and earth, and when yin and yang are at dusk, it means that yin and yang are in harmony.

Because he didn't like to watch the excitement, Shen Yi didn't go to the main hall of the palace to watch the wedding, but quietly waited for the food to be served. Not long after he sat down, a familiar figure pushed the door and walked in. He looked around. After taking a few glances, I saw Shen Yi, and immediately walked over with great strides, and sat next to Shen Yi with a smile: "I knew Ziheng that you wouldn't go back to the lobby to watch the ceremony, and after looking for you for a long time, you really found a place to hide yourself Woke up."

Shen Yi smiled dumbly, and said, "The concierge told me to find a place to eat in the outer courtyard, but he didn't let me go to the lobby. How dare I go?"

"Listen to those watchdogs talking nonsense."

Zhang Jian rolled her eyes, and said angrily: "A group of dogs look down on people, we came here with invitations, we can sit wherever we want, it's their turn to arrange it?"

"Brother, you are naturally different."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "You are the grandson of Zhang Xiang, and you must have a place in the inner court."

Zhang Jian snorted: "What's the difference? I'm also a sixth-rank official, and I'm just sitting here with Ziheng and you today."

Because this room is relatively remote, and everyone went to the main hall to watch the excitement, there are only two people in the room at the moment, Shen Yi slightly lowered his head and said: "I left after eating, it's the same wherever I sit, brother Let’s go inside, maybe Zhang Xiang will show you to meet people.”

"What knows people but doesn't know people."

Zhang Jian shook his head slightly and said: "After the old man stepped back, people still shouted at each other on the surface, but they knew behind their backs that the old man was no longer doing anything."

"Those who should be known have already been known, and those who have not, it is useless to know now."

"correct."

Zhang Jian looked at Shen Yi and asked, "I heard that Ziheng, you are going to go south again after the Lantern Festival. When are you going to leave?"

"It is estimated that it will be around 78 on the tenth day of the first lunar month."

"Tsk..."

Zhang Jian made a voice of envy, and said with emotion: "Sometimes I also imagine Ziheng, go out to do something for the court, for Da Chen, but my grandfather has already arranged my future, I can only follow his path , no freedom at all."

"Stop making sarcastic remarks."

Shen Yi looked at Zhang Jian, and cursed with a smile: "If Prime Minister Zhang is willing to pave the way for me, I will write a letter to resign from His Majesty now, and I will not go to the south to suffer."

While the two brothers were talking, the room was pushed open again.

A young man about the same age as Zhang Jian, with a younger girl behind him, opened the door and walked in.

After the young man opened the door and came in, he glanced at the two people in the room, then subconsciously frowned, turned around and prepared to leave.

Zhang Jian naturally also saw this young man, he stood up with a smile, and said with a smile: "Isn't this Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao Si?"

As he spoke, he looked at the young woman and asked with a smile on his face.

"The little ladies of the Zhao family are all married as princesses, when will they be able to drink the wedding wine of the fourth girl?"

As soon as Zhang Jian finished speaking, the siblings frowned at the same time.

Especially the fourth girl, with her brows upside down, glared at Zhang Jian.

"The surname Zhang has such a stinky mouth, be careful of retribution!"
