Chapter 435 Comparison

The days quietly slipped into the twelfth lunar month. In the last month of the year, Lin Zhaoxia became busy.

This month, a princess and a princess from the royal family are getting married. At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Zhaoxia was busy running to Jiang Mansion. When she and Zhao Guangyuan got married before, the Jiang family made great efforts. This time when Jiang Wentao got married, she had to go and help out of circumstances.

Mrs. Jiang and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very busy. Fortunately, many of the Jiang family came to Beijing to help. With more people, they could take care of it. Lin Zhaoxia also sent twenty servants to help, and the wedding preparations in the Jiang family were busy and not chaotic.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Zhaoxia went to Prince Qi's Mansion to add makeup to Princess Deyang. A complete set of top-quality natural sea pearl jewelry, all of which are smooth and smooth. There are not many such large, round and consistent ones in the entire Daqi.

Deyang liked it very much, "Thank you, cousin!"

Princess Qi couldn't help but re-examine this niece-in-law. They said that except for a nephew, she had no relatives in her family, and her family was just ordinary. If you don't want to keep such a good thing for yourself, you are willing to give it away.

This jewelry is even better than the pearl jewelry the King of Yue gave me before.

"Good boy, just keep these good things for yourself. It's all for nothing and you've got this girl Deyang off."

Lin Zhaoxia smiled and said, "Since the prince returned to Beijing, Uncle Qi and Aunt Wang have taken great care of him. When I married into the prince's palace, Aunt Wang gave me advice several times. My niece-in-law has taken it to heart. A few small gifts are not enough to express our feelings."

"You kid. You're just being polite." Princess Qi patted Lin Zhaoxia's hand, feeling sad.

Among the sons of Emperor Zheng, she only liked Guang Yuan, her nephew, but it was a pity.

Prince Qi's only legitimate daughter got married, and the entire royal family came. The wedding was a lively one. Princess Qi was satisfied with the extra makeup Lin Zhaoxia gave her, and was willing to return the favor. She asked Lin Zhaoxia to help. In fact, It was to teach her how to deal with the royal family members.

This is Lin Zhaoxia's first year after marrying into the royal family. The end of the year is coming soon, and she has to give gifts everywhere. Among them, the communication with the royal family members is particularly important. I would like to take this opportunity to teach her how to behave, so as to prevent her from doing things improperly. Offended someone.

Lin Zhaoxia was grateful for her support and studied hard by her side.

On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Deyang got married, and the Jiang government made almost every effort to arrange the marriage between Jiang Wentao and her.

Prince Qi was his legitimate daughter, and he treated her like a treasure since she was a child. And because of his relationship with the Zhizheng Emperor, he dragged Deyang into an old girl. Two or three years ago, Deyang was said a lot of crooked things. After her wedding, Prince Qi wanted to make up for his girl.

It was a grand affair, and I wished I could invite all the people in the capital to have a feast. It was an extremely lively event, and money was spent like water.

In addition to the Royal Street, several main streets in the capital were also decorated with red and colorful decorations. There was not such a big place to hold a running banquet, so a wedding ceremony was set up at the nine gates of the capital. Everyone who entered the city could receive a wedding cake to congratulate Prince Qi on his daughter's marriage.

On the day of the wedding, starting from the opening of the city gates in the morning, the nine gates of the capital began to distribute wedding cakes to the people entering the city.

When the people in villages near and far heard the news, they came out in full force, even the infant children were brought in, just to receive a piece of wedding cake.

Those with a large family took home more than ten kilograms of wedding cakes on the same day, saving money and eating them until the end of the year.

The capital was very lively that day. The eyes were red and there were endless congratulations.

Lin Zhaoxia had her own wedding before, and had been tossing it all day long. Although there was a lot of excitement outside, she couldn't see it. Now that Deyang is getting married, she was lucky enough to see the excitement.

Prince Qi's married daughter made so much noise that Emperor Zhizheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Prince Qi married his daughter and had no place to set up a banquet, so he sent wedding cakes to the nine gates in the capital. Some people took advantage of this. After receiving it from Chaoyang Gate, they went to Zhengyang Gate to receive it. How many wedding cakes did the prince have made?

According to Prince Qi's standard for marrying a daughter, could Emperor Zhizheng, who married a daughter after him, fall behind him?

Isn't it better for a royal family to marry a daughter than for a prince to marry a daughter?
But such an explanation was not the style of Emperor Zheng, and it made him feel tight and breathless. But what can we do, bow to Prince Qi, and prove that the princess's wedding is not as good as that of the princess?

How do the ministers and people think of him? He's a majestic emperor and can't afford to send wedding cakes?
So all the pastry shops in the capital were requisitioned by the Zhizheng Emperor. They were so busy for several days that they made room after room of wedding cakes. The ingredients had to be more solid than those made by Prince Qi, otherwise I can't afford to lose that face.

As a result, since the people received the wedding cake from Princess Deyang on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, not only the people near the capital rushed into the city on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, but also people from villages in counties a little further away came to the capital with their families.

Just to congratulate Emperor Zhi Zheng on marrying his daughter, he went to Jiumen to receive a wedding cake.

The news about the wedding of the fifth princess Zhaojia made all the concubines in the harem dumbfounded. Concubine Hui was so flattered that before she knew Emperor Zhizheng's plan, she was afraid of going to the emperor to plead guilty, saying it would be too wasteful.

Did Emperor Zhengzheng not know that it was too wasteful? But what could he do? There was an example of Prince Qi marrying a daughter. How could he, a dignified emperor marrying a daughter, lose to a mere prince?
Fortunately, most of his princesses were already married, but when he thought about the sixth and seventh princesses who were going to get married next year and the year after that, and their heads were as big as a bucket, he secretly scolded Prince Qi like crazy.

Emperor Zhizheng was in a bad mood and scolded Concubine Hui who came to plead guilty, and even had her kicked out.

Even though Concubine Hui was scolded out of the imperial study, the concubines in the harem, including the queen, were so jealous that they broke several veils.

The other princesses they gave birth to did not receive this treatment, and even the prince they gave birth to did not receive this treatment. How come it was the fifth princess's turn to be so pampered?

Could it be that among the many women in the harem, the Concubine Beneficial Concubine is the Emperor’s White Moonlight?

Concubine Hui was called over by the queen and scolded her for several days. Other empresses also secretly targeted her. Concubine Hui listened to the rumors about how the emperor doted on her, and felt as miserable as Huanglian.

Can't argue yet.

Secretly, he also scolded Prince Qi countless times.

However, the sixth and seventh princesses, who are getting married next year and the year after next, are looking forward to their weddings and wonder how lively it will be in the future. He even went out of the palace to observe it, so that his wedding could be more lively.

Concubine Hui was scolded by Emperor Zhizheng, and the news spread to Dingbeihou Fangfu, the husband of the fifth princess.

Princess Fangfu, Dingbei Hou Fang Sheng allows the emperor to spend this money? Naturally, all the throwing fees are covered. The emperor came up with ideas and he followed behind to spend money. Just making wedding cakes almost spent all the money in the treasury.

Marquis Dingbei was complaining in his heart, but what could he do? Bring home the princess that the emperor had pampered for more than ten years, and ask the emperor to pay for the wedding?
I had to hold my nose and admit it.

Fang Zhe, the second son of Ding Beihou, was originally a princess. He didn't want to inexplicably become the public enemy of his brothers. Like his father, he secretly scolded Prince Qi hundreds of times before giving up.

Prince Qi doesn't care about this. He does his own thing and doesn't care what others say.

He was busy getting married, and no matter where he went in the capital, people would thank him, saying that not only did they enjoy the excitement, but they also got delicious wedding cakes. What's even more amazing is that the emperor also followed suit and let the whole family eat wedding cake again. The wedding cake I received twice will be eaten until after the new year, which is appropriate.

The people in the capital wished that the royal family members would marry girls every day. Prince Qi was very happy after hearing this and wished he could marry his daughter again.

The wedding of Princess Deyang and Princess Zhaojia was talked about by the people in the capital. The number of people entering the capital is several times the usual number. They are all here. Why don’t you just take a look around the capital? The Chinese New Year was approaching, so it was time to organize some New Year gifts and bring them back, so two big weddings became popular in major shops in the capital.

Huixianlou is overcrowded every day. Diners who can't get in order at the door to take away, and rob all the goods on the shelves.

The cashier was so merciless that he envied all his colleagues.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, when the school was on winter vacation, Zhao Guangyuan brought him to Daqi.

Originally, he could only walk around the house every night, or stroll outside the house on weekends. Ping Shuo and others wanted to find him during the day, but they all said he was studying during the day. In fact, he was not at home.

Now that the winter vacation has lasted for more than a month, my parents brought me to Daqi. I am so happy that I can be with my parents day and night every day.

It's as hard to hold back as a paper kite that's let out in the wind.

Zhao Guangyuan came back from Sinongsi and did not see his son in the mansion. He asked his servants and said that he had gone to Prince Lu's mansion and nodded. I didn't see Lin Zhaoxia in the main courtyard. I heard that she was looking for Fang Pavilion as soon as she entered the courtyard, so I went there.

As soon as the palace enters the courtyard, the east road is where the staff and officials work, and the Xunfang Pavilion on the west road is where Lin Zhaoxia presides over the Zhongzhi Council every day.

When Zhao Guangyuan arrived, Lin Zhaoxia was immersed in the case and writing straightly. The pen was turned into an afterimage by her.

"Ah! You scared me." Lin Zhaoxia scolded Zhao Guangyuan who was standing behind her.

Zhao Guangyuan picked her up, sat on a chair, let her sit on his lap, put her in his arms, and read what Lin Zhaoxia wrote on the case.

"Treat me as a heater." Lin Zhaoxia laughed at him.

Zhao Guangyuan kissed her cheek and rubbed each other. The coldness on his face made Lin Zhaoxia shiver and she looked outside, "Is it snowing outside again?"

"Well, it's a small blow."

Lin Zhaoxia felt sorry for him running around in the wind and snow, so she wrapped her hands around his big palms and sent him heat, "When will it be sealed?" If the yamen didn't seal it, he would still have to work hard outside.

Sighing, there is no prince in the capital who does his job as seriously as he does. Most of them just have a name in various yamen. He gets the benefits by himself, and the people below him do the hard work. If something goes wrong, someone will take the blame, so he does it personally.

"It's okay. I'm strong and not cold." He wrapped her hand in his palm and said, "Are you writing a gift list?"

Lin Zhaoxia nodded, "There are many gifts to give, and there are many and complicated things to buy. Moreover, everything is very particular, and my head is getting big."

It was the first year that Lin Zhaoxia got married into the palace, and the first year that she became the director of the palace. In such a large palace, there were hundreds of officials, staff, guards, soldiers, and servants, not only inside the palace, but also outside the palace. There are a lot of favors to leave.

There are no old rules in the house to follow. There is knowledge everywhere in this relationship. If you don't pay attention, you will step into a trap. She has had a headache for half a month.

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Guangyuan hugged her tightly. If it were in modern times, she wouldn't have to bear so much.

Flipping through the paper, he said, "The gifts from various places in Beijing can be delayed for a few days, but for those at the imperial mausoleum, they will be delivered within the next two days." It was cold and it was difficult to walk on the road.

Lin Zhaoxia was a little hesitant, "For my parents' side, why don't I give it to my third brother and mix it with their New Year's gifts? There is no need to send it separately."

Zhao Guangyuan disagreed, "There is no need to be secretive. We will give it away generously, just not in the name of the palace, but in your name."

The Lin family has raised the princess's nephew for several years. The princess gave the Lin family New Year's gifts, which was blameless for outsiders.

"Okay. Then I'll ask my third sister-in-law if they have anything they want to send back together, or if they have to wait until they go back for the Chinese New Year later."

Talking about the affairs of her mother's family, she couldn't help but think of what her third sister-in-law said about choosing a marriage for Lan Zhen... What Lan Zhen meant was that a small family would look down on her. If a wealthy family couldn't be a wife, then the concubine would be the same. willing. Ma was very angry.

Lin Zhaoxia was also angry. She originally wanted to find an excuse to see her second brother, but now she was no longer in the mood.

In the backyard of the palace, Ma and Lin Jingning were entertaining a family of four from the second bedroom.

Lan Zhen lived in the three-bedroom house on the pretext of looking for a marriage, so Mr. Li often found excuses to visit her.

Even though Mrs. Ma said that they would not be able to go to the front yard if the princess was not summoned, she still asked Mrs. Li to find opportunities to take Lan Zhen to meet Lin Zhaoxia several times.

Ma Shi and Lin Jingning were both angry, but they couldn't stop them from coming to the door.

Originally, the couple had shown each other warmly to Lan Zhen, but after searching for several houses, neither Li nor Lan Zhen were interested, and they even said that the third wife and her husband were not dedicated enough. It also chilled the hearts of Ma Shi and Lin Jingning. Simply ignore them.

As a result, Mr. and Mrs. Ma let go, but Mr. Li was unwilling again.

Their second bedroom lived in the outer city, and all they came into contact with were ordinary people. How could their third bedroom live in the inner city and meet as many noble people as they could.

Today I took the opportunity to come to the house, carrying a baggage, saying it was a New Year's gift for my family, and asked Sanfang to take it back with him when he went home.

"Second brother isn't going back either?"

Lin Jingning frowned. He had asked. With his fourth sister taking care of him, he and his second brother took more annual leave than others. No matter how hard the road was in winter, five days of round trip was enough. In the remaining days, he could still be at home with his parents. The eldest brother and his family have a good time together and show their filial piety.

As a result, the second roommate didn’t go back, and his second brother didn’t go back either?
Lin Jing'an wanted to go back to Lingcun to celebrate the New Year, but except for him, his wife and children couldn't say no to going back. Li also said that it was just a good time to take advantage of the New Year to go around the capital to find a good match for Lan Zhen.

Lin Jing'an thought that he often returned to Lingcun on weekdays, and when he thought about his daughter's marriage, he compromised.

"I won't go back. After the New Year, I still have many opportunities to go back and see them. Everyone is free during the New Year, so they walk around so that Lan Zhenxiang can see them."

After hearing this, Lin Jingning glanced at his second brother. Does this second brother know that his wife and daughter have a high regard for him? His good second sister-in-law and Lan Zhen may not necessarily like someone who can move around.

"Three uncles and three aunts, if you come back to Lingcun during the Chinese New Year, can we rent this small courtyard to live in?" Ms. Li said with a smile.

The stupid author misunderstood the winter moon and the twelfth lunar month and always thought they were the same. But the winter month is the eleventh month of the lunar calendar. The marriage between the princess and the princess was previously said to be in the winter months. The previous article has been changed.
