The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 195 The Xu family is going to give birth to a queen

After the propaganda of those ministers.

Chen Jingke came out of seclusion and used the method of making colored glaze as a betrothal gift to marry the princess. This matter spread throughout Yingtian Mansion in a very short time.

People waiting to see the joke felt worse than eating anything.

But apart from scolding a few sour losers in my heart, I didn't dare to say anything else.

Most people still expressed shock and envy.

Of course, some people think it's just that.

There is colored glaze available in the market, and the price is not too expensive.

Then someone gave them some popular science and found out that the quality of the colored glazes on the market was very poor.

Each piece of truly high-quality colored glaze is worth thousands of dollars, and it is possible to have thousands of dollars.

According to the minister who has seen it with his own eyes, the colored glaze made by Chen Bandu is very exquisite, and every piece is considered a fine product.

The imperial court's annual income from selling glass alone was no less than the tax revenue.

It’s so much income every year, it’s not a one-time thing.

How much tax income will there be next year? This time everyone finally had a clear idea.

Everyone was stunned.

A big deal, really a big deal.

It is indeed a unique betrothal gift.

If only I could burn colored glaze, I would be so rich that no one would marry a princess.

Therefore, Chen Jingke added two more labels besides sending his son to read with him and being a miracle doctor:

A prodigal sees money as dirt.

And it's undisputed.

After Chen Jingke learned about it, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Xu Yungong has a different view: "No one will be able to use corruption to slander you in the future."

Chen Jingke thought about it and realized that this was really the case.

All I can say is that it was an unexpected surprise.

The betrothal gift has been paid and the wedding process continues.

Originally, the auspicious day calculated by Qintian was May 20th, but it was missed because of the betrothal gift.

This time I asked, the nearest auspicious day is June 16th.

It's less than twenty days away, so prepare quickly.

Dazong Zhengyuan (Zongren Mansion) is very concerned about this wedding.

Chen Jingke has already given out such a betrothal gift, so the royal family cannot lose face.

Then they discovered that the princess mansion had not been built yet.

Now things are in trouble.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were also numb. They had never seen anything like this.

In fact, the emperor and the empress were to blame for this matter. They usually issued decrees a year in advance to build a mansion for the princess who was about to leave the cabinet.

But when it was Princess Fuqing's turn, both the emperor and the empress seemed to have forgotten about it.

If the two of them don't speak, what can the people below say.

What should we do now?

Naturally, we cannot blame the emperor and empress, we can only take the blame ourselves.

So the officials from the Zongyuan and the Ministry of Rites wrote to apologize.

I thought the emperor would hold them accountable, but he didn't.

A saying came out in the palace: When a woman gets married, it is natural for her to support her husband and raise her children.

Anyone who can sit in this position is not stupid and naturally understands the meaning of this sentence.

Get married, take care of your husband and raise your children.

This is not a prince-in-law, this is a princess marrying.

Looking back at the whole thing, it was not that the emperor and the empress had forgotten about the princess palace, but that they had no intention of building it at all.

In other words, from beginning to end, you are marrying a princess, not a prince-in-law.

What a privilege.

If it were before, they would definitely object a little bit.

This is against the rules set by Your Majesty.

But now...

Forget it, so what if we make an exception.

When the news spread, the officials didn't say anything.

On the contrary, everyone thought it was normal.

In front of the glass making method, a daughter is nothing.

If age didn't allow it, neither would my mother...

Well, this still needs to be considered.

Chen Jingke's marriage was just decided.

Da Zongzhengyuan sent people to urgently renovate the mansion given to the Chen family by Queen Ma.

So on June 16, the wedding was successfully held.

It is worth mentioning that Princess Fuqing was wearing a phoenix crown and harem on this day.

This is the queen's crown.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Queen Ma specially granted women all over the world the right to wear phoenix crowns and harems on their wedding day.

From then on, it became a custom for Han daughters to wear phoenix crowns and harems when they got married.

Chen Jingke acted as a marionette for several days, and under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Etiquette, brought the bride home.

One hundred thousand words were omitted overnight...I officially said goodbye to being single.

After all, they were newlyweds, so Lao Zhu granted him an indefinite leave.

Whenever you want to go to work, come back to work.

Chen Jingke naturally enjoys the wonderful vacation given by his father-in-law.

Princess Fuqing also knows her own situation very well and never puts on airs like a princess.

Following the folk etiquette of a daughter-in-law, she came to serve her parents-in-law.

Say hello in the morning and evening, ask what you want to eat before meals...

Chen Jingke looked tired for her and told her not to be like this.

Too many rituals will make you look unfamiliar.

There are not so many rules among the people. Generally, only evil mothers-in-law who deliberately make things difficult for their wives will do this.

Fuqing said that this was what her mother taught her, and it couldn't be wrong.

Chen Jingke thought about Concubine Zheng An's situation in the palace. She really had to follow the rules everywhere and it was hard to say anything.

Within a few days, Chen Yuan and Feng couldn't stand it anymore and went to see Chen Jingke privately.

This etiquette is too much for the princess and makes them uncomfortable. They should just live their lives normally.

Chen Jingke did not persuade, but took Fuqing to visit other people's homes several times to let her have contact with other people's wives.

Sure enough, the effect is very good.

She gradually returned to normal.

Saying hello is no longer a deliberate act. There are no special requirements regarding food and drink, so just come as normal.

In this way, the family atmosphere becomes more harmonious.

In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had married off his daughter, had other thoughts.

He went to Queen Ma and said, "My dear grandson is twelve years old. It's time to find a wife for him."

"Select them into the palace first, let them cultivate their relationship, and then they can get married directly when they are old enough."

Queen Ma said: "That's good, so as not to prevent the husband and wife from getting along well and affecting the peace of the harem."

Historically, the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty were almost all in this situation.

The queens were selected into the palace at a young age and lived with the crown prince. They were childhood sweethearts and the couple had a very good relationship.

Zhu Biao's Crown Princess Chang was a child bride, and Queen Ma had taken her with her early on.

It's a pity that both husband and wife died young.

Zhu Di and Queen Xu are actually in the same situation.

Empress Xu also entered the palace since she was a child, and she and Zhu Di had a deep relationship, and they got married directly when they reached the age.

In previous movies and TV dramas, the two women chasing the man and escaping were just adapted for the plot.

Zhu Gaochi's queen, Zhang, was in a similar situation.

Zhu Zhanji's queen, Sun, was also Zhu Qizhen's mother.

Sun Ruowei, the demon queen of the generation described by the novelist.

She was taken by Queen Zhang when she was ten years old, and she had a deep relationship with Zhu Zhanji.

It should be that Zhu Di was not satisfied with Sun Ruowei, so he finally appointed Hu as Zhu Zhanji's concubine.

But Zhu Zhanji liked her, and a few years after he succeeded to the throne, he deposed Empress Hu on the grounds that she had no children.

He made Sun Ruowei his queen.

Not to mention anything else, Ming Dynasty selected concubines for the crown prince in this way, which indeed solved many harem problems.

At least the emperor and empress had deep feelings.     This rule of personally cultivating his daughter-in-law was set by Lao Zhu.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he wanted to find a wife for Zhu Xiongying at this time and let Queen Ma take her with him to train her.

The couple immediately asked Jin Yiwei to collect information on all the girls in the Xungui family who were around ten years old.

Then start choosing.

The family background must be suitable, and the appearance cannot be bad.

All men are so beautiful, but the queen is not beautiful. If she wants to cultivate feelings, isn't that ridiculous?

Then there is character, daily performance, etc.

It’s just that there are too many goals, and it’s really difficult to handle them all at once.

When Zhu Xiongying learned about this, he became interested and wanted to personally choose a wife for himself.

However, how could Lao Zhu and Queen Ma let a child interfere in such a big matter, and they were blown away by him.

Feeling depressed, he went to Chen Jingke to complain.

What could Chen Jingke say? He was naturally gloating.

You kid, you haven't even grown your hair yet, so you're going to find a wife.

Better find you an ugly guy.

Zhu Xiong jumped to his feet in anger.

Having said that, Chen Jingke was also curious about what kind of wife Lao Zhu and Queen Ma would choose for Zhu Xiongying.

After resting for half a month, he was too embarrassed to delay any longer, so he leisurely entered the palace and started working.

It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were still having a headache about this matter.

He couldn't help but be curious, was it so difficult to choose?

Could it be that you two have set your standards too high?

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "It's not that there are no suitable ones, it's that there are too many suitable ones and we don't know which one to choose."

"I chose this one, but I always think that one is better."

"I chose that one, and I think this one is also good."

Chen Jingke couldn't laugh or cry: "You are really spoiled for choice. Why don't you let your grandson choose the one that pleases you?"

Empress Ma said helplessly: "Why didn't you let him choose? But that brat said he couldn't like any of them."

Chen Jingke knew immediately that this kid must have done it on purpose.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said:

"Your kid's ideas are always different. Come and see which one is more suitable."

Chen Jingke quickly waved his hand: "No, no, this is not an ordinary family's choice of a wife. If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake, and you can live a lifetime of making noise."

"This is about choosing the future queen. If we make a mistake, who can bear this responsibility?"

Empress Ma also thought this was a good idea and said, "Don't be afraid. We are not getting married now. I will keep you around for a few years to observe."

"Can't we just send him out of the palace if it's not suitable?"

"Come on, choose one you think is suitable."

Chen Jingke saw that he couldn't hide away, so he could only walk over in a hurry, still lamenting in his heart.

If I had known earlier, I would have spent a few more days on my honeymoon.

After screening, twelve little girls were left, ranging from eight to twelve years old.

There are also portraits, and they all look quite upright.

Their family backgrounds are not bad either, they are all daughters of meritorious deeds.

Looking at the introduction, they all studied since childhood and were very smart.

They all look good, how do you choose?

Chen Jingke's head was pounding. If he made the wrong choice, the consequences would be serious.

Hey, none of these twelve girls I have heard of in my previous life.

It’s okay to have someone whose name I’ve heard before.

Hey... Why do I have to choose among these twelve? I can just find someone who I have heard of in my previous life and has a virtuous reputation.

Unfortunately, he didn't know much about the historical details of the early Ming Dynasty.

Except for a limited number of women, no one knows about it.

Zhu Gaochi's Queen Zhang should be of the right age, but I don't know her identity.

Hmm... There is another thing that is okay, that is, he is still young.

No matter, it's her.

If Lao Zhu and Queen Ma disagree, they can get rid of this trouble.

Thinking of this, he threw the list on the table and said:

"Your Majesty, my empress, I think you are looking for distance at the expense of the near."

"There is a suitable girl right in front of me, and I know her well. Why should I look for her among these unknown people?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were both a little surprised. Could it be that we missed some key person?

"Tell me, whose girl is this?"

Chen Jingke said: "I think there is no one more suitable than Xu Miaojin, the third girl from Wei Guogong's family."

Queen Ma thought: "I've heard of her too, she's a very smart little girl, but she's only six years old this year, right?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he quickly shook his head: "No, no, I'm too young."

Chen Jingke said: "You are a good young man. His temperament has not yet been determined. I just want to give you a few more years of training."

"After ten years of marriage, the great-grandson is crowned."

"If you can't wait, you can let them get married first and don't consummate the marriage for the time being."

"Finding a few concubines for the grandson will not affect anything."

Empress Ma was somewhat convinced and said, "That's the truth. You don't have to wait ten years. It's normal for a woman to get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen."

"Ying'er was only nineteen or twenty years old at that time, so it wasn't too late."

Mainly because she thought of Xu Da's identity, the number one person in the military.

If Zhu Xiongying marries his daughter, he can gain support from his family.

And Lan Yu, my uncle, is here.

Zhu Xiongying's status can be said to be more stable than Mount Tai.

As for whether Zhu Di married his sister Xu Miaoyun and his nephew married his sister again, would it mess up the hierarchy?

It really doesn't matter.

For royal nobles, interests come first.

Compared with Xu Miaojin's political resources, age and seniority are not issues.

Zhu Yuanzhang obviously thought of this, and couldn't help but praise Chen Jingke for making a good choice.

Before, the two of them only thought about the right age, so they ignored such a suitable girl.

Just when he was about to open his mouth to agree, he suddenly remembered something else:

"No, Tiande also has a second daughter whose age should be more suitable. Why don't you recommend her?"

Chen Jingke shook his head quickly and said, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The second daughter of Wei Guogong is carved from the same mold as her biological mother."

"How unthinkable are you to bring such trouble to your home?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and said, "Could the second daughter be born to Mr. Xie?"

Chen Jingke said: "Yes, and her personality is exactly the same as hers."

Zhu Yuanzhang also said hurriedly: "Forget it, let's go to Xu Miaojin. I will tell Tiande tomorrow to send the girl to the palace."

He was very familiar with Ms. Xie, a very jealous woman who was jealous of Queen Ma and even slandered her behind her back.

For Xu Da's sake, Lao Zhu could tolerate other things, but he couldn't tolerate this matter.

He was beaten to death directly by random sticks.

If a woman with such a character were brought into the harem, it would be a disaster.

So, Zhu Xiongying's daughter-in-law was settled in such a confused way.

When Zhu Xiongying learned about this, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Asshole, you and I have no grievances, why do you want to harm me like this?"

Chen Jingke suppressed his laughter and said, "Who said I harmed you? Isn't Miss Miaojin bad?"

Zhu Xiongying said angrily: "What a fart, I'm looking for a wife, not a daughter. Should she take care of me, or should I take care of her?"

Chen Jingke smiled: "You have no self-awareness."

"You've seen Miss Miaojin too, don't you think you're more stable than her?"

Zhu Xiongying was speechless for a moment, that was really the case.

Even though that little girl looks young, she is really just like a young adult.

He suddenly became discouraged and comforted himself: "Hey, that's it. Choosing someone is not a choice."

"At least I know Ms. Xu San. It's much better than choosing someone I don't know. That's it."

Xu Miaojin, the third daughter of Wei Guogong Xu Da's family, was taken by Queen Xiangzhong to teach her. The news soon spread throughout Yingtian.

The eyes of the officials turned red with envy.

The Xu family is about to give birth to a queen, and real wealth for generations can be expected.

Why can't such a good thing happen to my family?

　The daily plot is over and the main plot will start tomorrow.
