Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 166
Then, a member of the Ministry of Etiquette stood up and read aloud the dowry that Zhu Hanming brought with him when he got married.

When the emperor's daughter gets married, the dowry is naturally extremely generous, including crown jewellery, clothing and cloth, furnishings, and even books, calligraphy and paintings, as well as a lot of supplies and medicinal materials.

The staff of the Ministry of Etiquette read for half an hour before reporting Zhu Hanming's dowry. Cao Wei was so tired for him.

But the richness of Zhu Hanming's dowry still made Cao Wei speechless. Cao Wei only briefly reviewed the items, jewelry and other items mentioned by the etiquette staff just now in his mind. They were all worth nearly 200 million silver!

He quietly glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Old Zhu is so interesting!"I give my daughter so many things when I marry her.

Normally, when a princess gets married, she carries a dowry of about 100 million taels of silver. On the one hand, it shows the magnanimity of the royal family, and on the other hand, it shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the married princess.

One million taels of silver is a considerable sum even for a minister of the DPRK.

But this time when Zhu Hanming got married, the dowry doubled!The reason for the difference is that Zhu Yuanzhang must have spoken.

Below, Wei Guogong Xu Yungong looked at the two people and praised loudly,
"Teacher Cao and Princess Hanming are such a talented and beautiful woman, they are a match made in heaven!"

Although Cao Wei is slightly older than Zhu Hanming, due to his years of exercise, Cao Wei looks younger than ordinary people and is in better physical condition.

Life lies in movement, this sentence is not just a saying.

Many women in later generations practiced yoga to broaden their muscles and bones in order to maintain their posture. The same reason applies.

Now Cao Wei and Zhu Hanming are standing together, looking obviously much younger.

"Yeah, a perfect match," Lan Yu nodded in praise.

Yan Zhenzhi on the other side had already clapped his hands red and grinned.

Next, it was time for Cao Wei to take Zhu Hanming for a parade.

Amid the applause of the crowd, Cao Wei took Zhu Hanming's hand, walked down the stairs, and then walked out of the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Concubine Han also walked out, followed by hundreds of officials.

Arriving outside the palace gate, a sedan chair stood in the crowd, with enough bearers in front and behind for 16 people. Cao Wei led Zhu Hanming to the sedan chair, opened the curtain, and Zhu Hanming lowered his head and entered.

After that, Cao Wei returned to the first place, mounted the tall horse, and headed towards Fangshi.

He will take the wedding team through the streets and markets of Yingtian Mansion, and then take Zhu Hanming back to Cao Mansion to entertain the guests.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others turned directly towards the direction of Cao's Mansion.

First, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were going to Cao Mansion for a banquet, which was very lively.

Secondly, Cao Wei has no father or mother, so Zhu Yuanzhang and Concubine Han have to play the role of parents-in-law to make the whole ceremony complete.

The procession to welcome the bride formed a long queue, with Cao Wei taking the lead and walking through the streets.

Today, it seemed that all the people had put down their trivial matters and left their homes. They stood on both sides of the street and watched with joy as Cao Wei, the consort, rode by on a tall horse.

Some girls even screamed when Cao Wei passed by.

"Master Cao! Master Cao!"

The girl's family hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, for fear of offending the prince-in-law, and even more afraid of being blamed by the princess in the sedan.

Cao Wei rode his horse and looked at the envious looks of people on both sides of the street, feeling a little reminiscing and sighing for a moment.

When he arrived in the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the year, he spent most of his time in the fields and spent a lot of effort to buy several acres of farmland at home. He lived in the fields every day as far as the eye could see.

Unexpectedly, since his adopted son Zhu Xiongying recovered his memory, his fate has completely changed with the arrival of Zhu Yuanzhang.

At the beginning, he was just an ordinary farmer. There was one more him and one less him. No one except Zhu Xiongying who had lived with him for ten years would care.

An ordinary citizen is too insignificant.

However, ever since he told Zhu Xiongying the idea of ​​letting people fly into the sky, he was out of control and the gears of fate began to turn.

First, he was granted the title of Marquis in the First World War, and then the Zhu Kingdom. At this time, he was already ranked among the three princes and played a very important role!

It can be said that if the current man Cao Wei stamps his feet, the entire Yingtian Mansion will tremble.

Cao Wei relied on the scientific and technological knowledge in his previous life to step by step from a small farmer to his current position. Today he also married Zhu Yuanzhang's daughter Zhu Hanming.

Looking back, it all seems like a dream...

After making a circle in Yingtianfang City, the wedding team returned to Cao Mansion.

At this moment, the Cao Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere, and was decorated with splendor by Xiaoyu and the servants!
Cao Wei dismounted in front of the door, came to the sedan, picked up Zhu Hanming, and entered the door step by step.

At this time, in the spacious courtyard of Cao Mansion, the officials were still standing in two rows. In the middle were Zhu Yuanzhang and Concubine Han, sitting on large chairs.

Looking to both sides of the crowd, we saw hundreds of banquet tables already set up.

The maid Xiaoyu held a tea tray in her hand and stood beside Zhu Yuanzhang, smiling at Cao Wei and Zhu Hanming who came over.

Cao Wei and Zhu Hanming joined hands and knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's chair. Xiaoyu presented the tea, and they took it and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang and Concubine Han.

"Father, mother, please have tea."

Since Zhu Yuanzhang and Concubine Han are not Cao Wei's real parents, the step of changing their story is omitted.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Concubine Han took the tea cup, took a sip, and handed it back to Xiaoyu.

"Okay, okay, get up." Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand with his bare hands.

After tea was served, Zhu Hanming became the daughter-in-law of the Cao family.

Next, Xiaoyu took Zhu Hanming into the inner room. Concubine Han also went to rest. The others took their seats one after another, and the banquet began.

Cao Wei's interpersonal relationships are pretty good. After all, Cao Wei single-handedly raised the salaries of all officials, so not one of the hundreds of officials were left behind today, and all were present.

But with Zhu Yuanzhang here, everyone still couldn't let go.

Zhu Yuanzhang also noticed it. After eating two simple bites of vegetables and a sip of wine, he took Concubine Han back to the palace.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is older, he can't drink and eat meat as much as when he was young.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang left, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively, and everyone was vying to have a drink with Cao Wei.

"Cao Wei, I don't care whether you are a grand master today or not. You must drink this wine, otherwise I will take back my gift."

There were wine glasses on the banquet table, but Lan Yu brought two large bowls full of wine to Cao Wei, looking disrespectful.

Cao Wei laughed loudly. On such a festive day, he couldn't let others call him a weakling.

He took the big bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then looked at everyone, "Which of you is coming today? I will accompany you to the end!"

Lan Yu also drank the wine in the big bowl in one gulp.

"Hahaha, be happy, you little boy, I really saw you right! If anything exciting happens in the future, be sure to call me, otherwise I won't listen to you!"

Cao Wei knew that what Lan Yu was talking about was about the Japanese country, so he complained that he was not called.

"Absolutely." Cao Wei nodded in agreement.

Lan Yu heard the reply and sat back with satisfaction.

Yan Zhenzhi also came to Cao Wei with a big bowl and bared teeth.
"I've never seen you drunk before. Today I just want to see how drunk you are."

Without saying a word, Cao Wei took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, which attracted cheers from the surrounding people, and everyone was saying nice things.

"it is good!"

"Master Cao has a good drinker and a good spirit. He is truly a hero!"

"The reincarnation of the Overlord is nothing more than this!"

"Come, Grand Master Cao, drink from my bowl again," Xu Yungong also came forward with a big bowl... Cao Wei saw that the people behind him were lining up, and they all had big bowls in their hands.

Good guys, you are killing me!
Drinking too much food and alcohol can also cause headaches.

Cao Wei suddenly took off his groom's hat.

"Come on! I'll take care of how many you have! Just wait until you lie down under the table. If you can't go home, don't blame me!"

How could anyone see how arrogant he was? Cao Wei was suddenly crowded with people again...

After three or five rounds of wine, Cao Wei started to get a little drunk, and everyone didn't really fight Cao Wei to the end, so they just gave up.

They have not forgotten that Cao Wei is now a grand master. Today they have convinced Cao Wei too much. Will Cao Wei give them some shoes the next day?

The banquet lasted until late at night. Cao Wei drank a lot of wine after that, and his head felt dizzy. After apologizing, he left to rest and let everyone continue to eat and drink.

"Have fun in the bridal chamber! Have fun in the bridal chamber!"

One of the censors in the crowd, perhaps drunk too much, made a noise and wanted to have a wedding.

His shouting indeed aroused the anger of many people, who were ready to take action.

But when Zhu Xiongying fought behind Cao Wei with a cold face, everyone suddenly stopped talking.

The capital censor immediately sobered up, his face turned green, he lowered his head and ate food by himself.

Zhu Xiongying glanced around again, hummed slightly and went back to sit down.

With him here today, it depends on who has the courage to cause trouble in Cao Wei's bridal chamber.

Even Lan Yu didn't dare to make a mistake when he saw Zhu Xiongying sitting there upright like a goalkeeper.

In the past, in Yingtian Mansion, he was not afraid of anything except Zhu Yuanzhang.

But things are different now, and his grandnephew cannot be offended.

Even Lan Yu didn't dare to act rashly, let alone the others, they all calmed down.

Zhu Yuanzhang was old, and it was only a matter of time before he abdicated the throne. Soon Zhu Xiongying would be the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Even though Zhu Xiongying is young, no one dares to look down upon him, let alone offend him.

As a grand master, Cao Wei was once Zhu Xiongying's pseudo-father. Offending Cao Wei is tantamount to offending Zhu Xiongying. He will not die, but small shoes are hard to wear!
The imperial censor who just said that he was having trouble with the wedding ceremony was even more regretful and wished he could give himself a few slaps.

If you drink some horse urine, why can’t you tell the difference between the king and the king?

How can we go to Cao Taishi's bridal chamber to cause trouble?
There is Princess Zhu Han in the bridal chamber!

If Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this...

As he thought to himself, all the wine he drank just turned into sweat and poured out.

Everyone became more honest and sat down to pick up vegetables and eat. Even the voices they spoke were much lower.

Cao Wei smiled helplessly, asked Yan Zhenzhi and others to take care of everyone, then turned and walked towards the house.

Arriving at the bedroom, Xiaoyu was still guarding the door.

"It's been a tiring day, go and have a rest," Cao Wei touched her head.

Entering the room, Cao Wei saw Zhu Hanming sitting by the bed dressed in red, with a red gauze on his head, but his beautiful face could be vaguely seen.

Seeing Cao Wei come in, smelling of alcohol, Zhu Hanming stood up and came to the table, pouring a glass of water for Cao Wei to sober up.

Cao Wei took the water glass and drank it in one gulp. He felt much better instantly and his mind was clearer.

He looked at Zhu Hanming with burning eyes, and then slowly took off the red silk gauze on her head.

A blush appeared on Zhu Hanming's cheeks, her face was like a peach blossom, her eyes lowered shyly, and her breathing became a little rapid.

It was obvious that Zhu Hanming was very nervous.

In fact, Cao Wei was a little nervous after entering the house. He was also getting married for the first time.

But it was impossible for both of them to remain so nervous. As a man, Cao Wei had to take charge of the situation and first find a way to ease Zhu Hanming's nervousness.

Cao Wei took her hand, sat down at the table, and said with a smile,

"Hanming, from today on, you are my wife. There will be no chance of regret in the future."

Zhu Hanming lowered his head and said softly:

"How can Hanming regret being able to serve Brother Cao?"

Cao Wei pretended to have a serious face, "You still call me Brother Cao?"

Zhu Hanming's face became even more blushing, his chest rose and fell a little more, and Ai Ai made a sound every now and then.

"Xiang... Xianggong."

"Hey!" Cao Wei replied with a smile.

Then he looked out the window and didn't know when it had become dark.

The voices of the guests in the courtyard were gone and they should have dispersed.

Cao Wei turned around and looked at Zhu Hanming.

"It's getting dark already, madam, let's take a rest."

Zhu Hanming nodded silently, his little head kept hanging, not daring to look up at Cao Wei.

When Cao Wei stood up and held her hand, he felt that her body was extremely stiff.

Cao Wei didn't expect her to be so nervous. After helping Zhu Hanming sit on the bed, Cao Wei turned around and went to the table to blow out the candle.

The arrival of darkness relieved Zhu Hanming's nervousness somewhat. At least Cao Wei would not see her looking embarrassed and shy.

Cao Wei walked to the bedside in the dark, took off his clothes, and lay on it...

Silent all night.

the next day,
When Cao Wei woke up, he felt refreshed. When he looked at the bedside, Zhu Hanming was no longer there. Then he got up and dressed.

Just after getting dressed, Zhu Hanming opened the door and walked in, placing the breakfast he had prepared in his hands on the table.

When Cao Wei saw this, a warmth suddenly flowed through his heart, and he stepped forward and expressed concern,

"You are inconvenienced at the moment. Just let Xiaoyu and the others do these things. I didn't marry you just to let you be a maid."

Zhu Hanming nodded, then shook his head.

"It would be boring if I didn't do something."

"This is easy to handle. When it is convenient for you in two days, I will take you for a walk on the street. I will also ask Xiaoyu to accompany you for more walks in the future..."

Zhu Hanming had been living in the palace before, and now that she was in the Cao Mansion, it was naturally impossible for Cao Wei to confine her every day.

After breakfast, Cao Wei asked Zhu Hanming to have a good rest, and after leaving Cao's mansion, he went directly to the manufacturing bureau.

During the three days of the wedding, he did not have to go to court.

Now that the wedding is over, Cao Wei can start developing motors wholeheartedly.
