I am the carpenter king

() The capital is very lively. Na Cai's team walked forward step by step in the capital, and the people on both sides followed with a smile. There was only one destination, and that was Zhang Guoji's mansion.

At this time, Zhang's residence was already busy, cleaning the yard and preparing for the dinner.Although it is not necessary to entertain all the people in the future, all the envoys and deputy envoys, the Ministry of Rites and the accompanying officials will be entertained.

With the sound of drums, Na Cai's team was getting closer and closer to Zhang's mansion. Under the leadership of Zhang Guoji, the people of Zhang's family came to the gate of Zhang's house to meet the angel.At this time, the incense table had already been set up at the gate of the Zhang family, and everything was ready.The official officials who came here one step earlier helped the Zhang family arrange everything. No one is willing to let go of this opportunity to curry favor with the father-in-law.

When the team came to the front, they slowly separated, and the first one to come out was Liu Yijing, a cabinet scholar holding the imperial decree.Glancing at Zhang Guoji, Liu Yijing said loudly: "Zhang Guoji, accept the order!"

Following Liu Yijing's shout, everyone around knelt down, while Zhang Guoji said loudly: "The grassroots accept the order!"

Slowly unfolding the imperial decree, Liu Yijing said loudly: "Fengtian bears the emperor, the imperial edict said: The daughter of Zha Zhang, virtuous and virtuous, gentle and virtuous, will be the empress, special envoy and cabinet scholar Liu Yijing , perform the ceremony of accepting and asking for names. This is my honor!" After Liu Yijing finished reading, he handed over the imperial edict in his hand to Zhang Guoji.After Zhang Guoji received the imperial decree, he naturally shouted long live three times and thanked the Lord for his grace.

Liu Yijing didn't step forward to help Zhang Guoji, and his expression was very serious, as if he was waiting for Zhang Guoji to do something.

Putting the imperial decree on the incense table, Zhang Guoji picked up a piece of paper on the table, handed it to Liu Yijing respectfully with both hands, and said loudly: "This is the horoscope of my little girl's birthday, please put it away!" This Zhang Guoji is I was a little worried that once Qin Tianjian figured out that his daughter and the emperor were at odds, it would be an oolong.But he was worrying blindly. It is estimated that there is no one who is not open-eyed and dares to say that the character is not in harmony.

After receiving the watch from Zhang Guoji, Liu Yijing handed it to a person behind him, and said with a serious face: "Go back and deduce the auspicious day on a good day, Your Majesty chooses the day to get married!" The words were not even said at all, and it directly became a matter of choosing a good day and auspicious days.

Waving to the people behind him, Liu Yijing said loudly: "Shanghai!" Following his words, those Jinyiwei carrying gifts behind him walked into Zhang's mansion one by one.Under the guidance of the housekeeper of the Zhang family, the presents were placed one by one in the courtyard of the Zhang family.

When the etiquette of natse was first formed, natse just asked the matchmaker to find out the meaning of the girl's family.People at that time believed that wild geese were a symbol of devotion, so they gave a wild goose to each other.If the girl's family disagrees, she will refuse at this time, and then the wild goose will become a meeting.

However, with the passage of time, it was not uncommon for Chinese people to love comparisons at that time, so the meeting etiquette became more and more important, and only serious etiquette can reflect sincerity.If the ceremony is light, the woman will think that you are disrespecting them, and the marriage may not be successful.Of course, when the emperor gets married, even if he doesn't give anything away, no one dares to refuse.

But the royal family can't afford to lose that person, so this gift is incomparably numerous and very precious.The original wild goose was replaced by a jade goose, but it was not smaller than a real wild goose, so it looked like it was not ordinary.Gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin are all specially provided by the inner government, and most people have never seen them in their entire lives.Porcelain from official kilns and calligraphy and paintings from famous artists are extremely precious and abundant.

Those who stand in the crowd only have to be envious, how many people hate themselves for not having this blessing!Not to mention titles, fiefdoms and other rewards, just this meeting ceremony is enough for the whole family to live for several lifetimes.

After all the gifts had entered Zhang's residence, Zhang Guoji thanked him again, and Liu Yijing smiled on his face. He walked quickly to Zhang Guoji's side, took Zhang Guoji's hand, and said affectionately: "The father-in-law has worked hard. Yes, congratulations! Today, this old man has the audacity to beg for a glass of water and wine!"

"Look at what you said, you are a cabinet scholar, and this is a distinguished guest that I can't even invite! Please come inside, and the food and drinks have already been prepared!" Everyone was greeted inside, and there were instructions to the housekeeper outside to take care of you. Good people from outside.

Everyone who comes has a reward, which is absolutely indispensable, even Liu Yijing and Sun Ruyou have it.This is already a rule, the sender feels at ease, and the recipient also feels at ease.However, the amount given to people in different positions is different, but if it is too little, the Zhang family is not kind, and those who play drums will be rewarded with two taels of money.In short, the Zhang family spent about 2000 taels just for rewards. Fortunately, the Zhang family had quite a lot of property, otherwise they would not have been able to afford it.

The Zhang family was very lively this day, and so was the capital city, and the Forbidden City was no exception. Of course, the venue for the celebration was the Compassionate Palace.

Looking at the extremely happy empress dowager, and several concubines of Emperor Taichang, who are all concubines now, Emperor Tianqi pondered for a while, and said to the empress dowager: "Mother, there are still some things ahead of my son, let's start gone!"

Looking at Emperor Tianqi lovingly, the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Go! Be a good emperor."

Without hesitation, Emperor Tianqi stood up and bowed to everyone, then took Chen Hong and left quickly.When Emperor Tianqi returned to Qianqing Palace, there was already someone waiting here.

Glancing at Luo Sigong, Emperor Tianqi asked with a serious face, "Luo Aiqing, is there any news from Liaodong?"

Giving a salute to Emperor Tianqi, Luo Si respectfully said: "Return to Your Majesty, the people sent by Jin Yiwei and Dongchang have arrived, and I have the news that I just sent back here!"

Sitting on the dragon chair, rubbing his swollen forehead, Emperor Tianqi said flatly: "I don't have the heart to read it, pick the important ones and tell me about them!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Lord Sun and Lord Yang have already arrived in Liaodong, and the batch of supplies they transported also arrived in Shenyang. Lord Sun kept the ones used by General Sun, and Lord Sun sent someone to send those seeds to the governor of Liaodong. Jin Yiwei The people from Hedongchang have also arrived in Liaodong, and the investigation of spies has not yet started, so there is nothing to gain." Luo Sigong simply said to Emperor Tianqi what was in the memorial.

"The most important thing is those seeds. I have already told Yang Lian to keep them secret. You are issuing a secret order to let the Jin Yiwei in Liaodong take care of them for me." Emperor Tianqi looked at Luo Sigong with burning eyes, obviously still worried about Liaodong. She didn't relax her vigilance at all because of the wedding.
