Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 318 Getting Married
A few days after Yue Qing's flower feast, Xia's residence suddenly received an imperial decree, roughly meaning: Xia Xiuping is conscientious and diligent in the affairs of the department. !

After being in charge of the household department of the sixth rank for more than a year, the freshness is not over yet, and in the blink of an eye, he was promoted to a member of the fifth rank household department, Wailang. Xia Xiuping himself was dizzy for a long time, and when he recovered Congratulations to all the relatives, friends and colleagues, I was suddenly ecstatic and inexplicably happy, held a banquet and drank to my heart's content with the guests. As the saying goes, people are in good spirits on happy occasions. Xia Xiuping only drinks more than a catty. I don't know how many glasses of wine he drank, but he didn't pass out.

Xia Yiqing naturally knew that her father would be promoted in the near future - the royal family insisted on marrying the daughter of the Xia family, but the Xia family was not a famous family, and the other was not a prominent family, and Xia Xiuping's official position was too low, so she had to do this and find an excuse for her. Being promoted to an official position and improving the status of the future princess's family, it seems that everyone has a bit of face.

This kind of self-deception is ridiculous when you think about it, but because the interests involved are too great, no one in the world thinks there is anything strange except jealousy and envy.

After receiving the good news, the eldest daughter and son-in-law would naturally have to back up presents to congratulate her natal father on his promotion. Yiqing followed Zheng Jingyan to the Xia Mansion, and seeing Xia Xiuping's beaming and triumphant appearance made her speechless. Zheng Jingyan said with a smile:

"In this world, everyone has their own pursuits. As a man, who doesn't want to show his talents? Don't underestimate my father-in-law, he is also ambitious and talented! If this continues, maybe one day my father-in-law will be able to stride forward and lead a capable minister!"

Xia Yiqing snorted softly: "Just him? Is that possible? He wanted to be promoted a long time ago. It's true, but apart from drinking and singing sour poems and boasting, I really don't see any real abilities in him!"

Zheng Jingyan smiled and shook his head: "That's because you have always had a prejudice against your father-in-law. I often talk to him and know that he has real talents and learning. My father-in-law was a county magistrate and magistrate. , Accumulated a lot of experience, these qualifications are very valuable!"

"According to what you say, my father's promotion to this position is worthy of the name?"

"Well, it's better than those who got promoted by bribery!"

Talking about being an official, Yiqing couldn't help thinking of what Zheng Jingyan had said to herself, so she looked at him and asked, "Ayan, didn't you say that you don't want to be an official? When the emperor is stable and the world is peaceful, you can go home and accompany him." Me, the emperor has been on the throne for a year now, and you still have to follow the emperor all day, busier than other serious court officials!"

Zheng Jingyan paused, and said with a wry smile: "Yiqing, you often complain that 'once you enter the Marquis, it's as deep as the sea', and I'm also deeply touched now—being in the center of power, it's not so easy to get out! It is stable, and there is no change in the four seas, but after all, he has just ascended the throne not long ago, and the emperor has not been able to display one or two of his majestic talents. He will not let me be an idler so easily. My grandfather, he also does not agree..."

"It means that you are also going to be promoted?"

"Hehe, haven't you been promoted from Mrs. Hou to Mrs. Duke? In fact, I have been in charge of the cabinet, in charge of the court, and took the post of Zaifu on my behalf. I was afraid that you would be unhappy, so I dared not tell you the truth!"

Yiqing glanced at him and sighed: "I knew it would be like this. How could you be willing to retire after success? I was already mentally prepared, and I didn't expect you to guard us all day. I just hope you take care of yourself. Family, you are not the only one who eats the king's salary, don't work too hard, if you are exhausted, only me and the elders in the family will feel sorry for you... Also, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, you know this truth better than me, so be careful!"

Zheng Jingyan put his arms around Yiqing's shoulders, and said softly with a smile, "Don't worry, I have my own considerations, it's not that I like power and quit before the time comes... We will all be fine, you have to believe in your husband's wisdom! My husband promised you: I will be with you for the rest of my life, and I will promise you a lifetime of happiness, and it will always be possible!"

After the promotion and wedding banquet in the Xia Mansion, Yiqing participated in several flower banquets, wedding banquets and birthday banquets one after another. It was a very hot weather, and she was very unimpressed with the entertainment on these occasions. However, she is the only hostess who can go out to socialize in Duke Wen's Mansion. Needless to say, Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Zheng also refused to leave the house, lest she take a step away from Bao'er, and she could not hear her grandson crying and wronging him.

At the beginning of August, Yiqing led Mama Zhang and a few older girls to collect spices for making mooncakes. Some fillings needed to be marinated in advance, and the timing was right so that the mooncakes would be fresh and delicious.

On the third day of junior high school, Yiqing received a wedding invitation. Yiqing opened it and saw that it was Yue Wang's mansion who married Miss Wang Yaozhen from Zhongliebo's mansion. The wedding date was on the tenth day of the eighth month.

Yiqing counted, and it turned out that the first emperor's filial piety period had expired for one year, no wonder the King of Yue could take concubines.

I couldn't help but cut to myself: Why don't you just marry a side concubine?It was so decent that even the Duke's Mansion handed over wedding invitations, those who didn't know thought they were marrying a princess!
Before she could slander her, Hua Yu handed over another wedding invitation, but it was the wedding invitation for the daughter-in-law of Uncle Zhonglie's residence.

Well, a wedding wine is eaten at both ends, and the bride and groom's family has to give gifts!

Showing the wedding invitation to Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng, the old lady Zheng said: "Look at the address on the wedding invitation, they are regarded as relatives! Qing'er, you can go, prepare two generous gifts, and go to the uncle's house first. Then go to the palace with the bride - no matter what, Uncle Zhonglie used to be your father-in-law's subordinate, he values ​​affection, so we don't want to be merciless!"

Yiqing agreed with her mouth, and she really admired Wang Yaozhen, this wonderful flower in her heart.

If it were me, if she had been entangled with some man for several years, she would not be able to become a husband and wife, and it would be too late to hide, but she would still be able to calmly send wedding invitations to Zheng's house, turning Zheng Jingyan's wife and her love rival into a wedding party... Sure enough, everyone's brain circuits are different, and the decisions they make are unexpected by ordinary people.

When Zheng Jingyan heard this, he was also very speechless, and said to Yiqing: "Even if you are a side concubine of the palace, you are still a concubine. With your status...you don't have to go if you don't want to go!"

Yiqing smiled and said: "This is what you said, Mr. Guo, I really don't want to go! The issue of identity is another thing, the bride and I are neither friends nor relatives, and almost became enemies—don't forget Ah, she sent Qinghe to give me medicine! How can this kind of relationship give her a marriage? In our hometown, only relatives or girlfriends are willing to follow the bride's sedan chair to the man's house as dowry relatives and friends!"

After discussing with the couple, Wang Yaozhen really didn't go to the wedding banquet on the day of her marriage, so she only asked Du Zhong to send two congratulatory gifts to Zhonglie Bo's Mansion and Yue Wang Mansion respectively, and she ran back to her mother's house to play for a day, and returned home at night to spend the night with the old lady. I just said that I have been to both mansions before, and there are many visitors, but they are miscellaneous and I don't know each other. It's no fun to be in a mess in the wedding hall.
