Chapter 121 The Empress Gets Married
With Chen Jian as a person, where can you not eat old duck soup?But you need to spend money to buy it yourself, or go to an outside restaurant to order food.
Of course, what the students send is different.
Mrs. Chen actually asked someone to make duck soup and put some vegetables in it.
In the study, Chen Jian was silent for a long while after listening to Wu Youwei's words, and then said: "If you become an official, this status is actually very useful, at least no one will dare to do anything to you.
This is the benefit of royal relatives.
It's just the same, once something is done in the future, it will be different.
Wu Youwei said calmly: "This identity is a double-edged sword."
This adjective is so novel, Chen Jian felt that the young disciple had improved a lot.
It's not that I couldn't see that this kid was not very good at socializing in the past, but in the past three years, although I haven't met him, I have always known his recent situation. Now that I have met him a few times, I already like this kid very much, and now I like this kid even more.
To be an official, a nerd is not good, so at most you will survive until you are old and become an old Hanlin.
You don't need to be slick, but you must also have a strong character, and more importantly, you must be able to communicate and entertain.
Maid Wu is growing up pretty well now.
"And I don't have a good relationship with my aunt and brother. You know that. I don't want to get rich when they gain power, and I don't want to be implicated when they lose power." Wu Youwei continued: "I no longer have parents, only my aunt She is still alive, and she also has a biological son, I just want to work hard..."
Wu Youwei fooled Chen Jian, and moved Lao Chen to a mess. He patted his chest and promised to take care of him.Wu Youwei made a "V" in his heart, and got one in his hand!
I ate dinner at Chen Jian's house. The old duck soup was delicious, and the green vegetables were very sweet. After the meal, my wife made two boxes of snacks for Wu Youwei to take home.
The next morning, Wu Youwei met Yang Yiqing, whom Zhang Sheng had invited for him, at Pinyuan Tea House.
Yang Yiqing is the same age as Wu Youwei, but his birthday is older than him, and he was also young and frivolous. After hearing Wu Youwei's plan, he expressed his strong support.
Moreover, Yang Yiqing also felt that Wu Youwei was so talented, maybe it was the young lady of the Wu family who was favored by him, so she was favored by His Majesty the Emperor!
You know, even some ministers in the court have heard of Wu Youwei's Wing Chun poem.
At noon, the three of them ate outside at the Zhejiang Cuisine Restaurant on the street next to Pinyuan Tea House.
It was introduced by the shopkeeper of Pinyuan Tea House. It is said that it is a restaurant opened by authentic southerners.
In history, Yang Yiqing was born in Anning, Yunnan, and grew up in Baling, Hunan.
In the end, he grew up in Zhenjiang, Jiangnan, so he called himself "Sannan Jushi" in his later years.
Now he is not old, but he was born and grew up, so Wu Youwei chose Zhejiang cuisine restaurant.
Jinhua ham soup, Shaoxing duck, West Lake water shield, Youxiang tofu skin, Dongpo pork.
The drinks that come up are Biluochun, a famous tea in the south of the Yangtze River.
At this time, there was no West Lake Longjing. It is said that West Lake Longjing was Emperor Qianlong's favorite tea, so it would not be available until the middle of the Qing Dynasty, but Wu Youwei can't think so much now.
The three of them had a meal together, and Wu Youwei gave Yang Yiqing a 500 tael bank note: "This is the activity fund for you."
"What's the fee for the event?" Yang Yiqing was confused.
"When you are looking for someone, you have to treat them to dinner and tea or go to see the oiran in the brothel Chu Pavilion, right?" Wu Youwei stuffed it to him: "The flower, anyway, is when the family is separated, and my good aunt gave it to me."
"But, didn't you give it back when your eldest nephew got married last time? I heard that you are going to lose your entire family with that cartload of gifts!" Yang Yiqing didn't dare to take it, and wanted to stuff it back. Why not.
"Give it to you and take it. To put it bluntly, my matter is not a good thing. If I have other ways, I won't come to you. It's embarrassing to drag you into the water, and let you spend money." , What have I become?" Wu Youwei pushed the money back: "If you feel sorry, please help me seriously!"
Yang Yiqing failed to stuff the banknote back, so he could only nod his head and said, "Don't worry!"
After returning to Zhang Sheng's place, Wu Youwei also gave Zhang Sheng 500 taels of silver notes: "I know you don't want it, but this is for your activity expenses, and you don't want me to live and sleep here, so just accept it. "
Yang Yiqing's family is fine, with a bit of family background, Zhang's family is really an ordinary family, and the ceremony is usually mediocre, so it must cost money to make him suddenly high-profile!
Zhang Sheng was confused by what he said, and really reached out to take the money, but he became sober after Wu Youwei left, and was fooled again!
Wu Youwei went out again in the afternoon to buy some good traumatic oil, and took the things to Liu Xuan's mansion.
When Liu Xuan got off the Yamen and came back, he happened to meet Wu Youwei at the gate. Seeing Wu Youwei carrying very homely things, he was as satisfied as Chen Jian.
After entering the house, he took everything down and took Wu Youwei to the study.
In the same way, Wu Youwei continued to fool, but Liu Xuan had a lot of experience. Fooling him was more troublesome than fooling Chen Jian. Chen Jian was an idealist, and Liu Xuan was a pragmatist.
How about saying that the first emperor was a capable man, and he picked these two out of hundreds of courtiers and held the Shuntian Mansion's provincial examination together.
After listening to Wu Youwei's words, Liu Xuan frowned and said, "Although what you said makes sense, why did you split up with them for no reason?"
"I can find opportunities." Wu Youwei said: "My eldest nephew doesn't respect me enough, you know, there have been many troubles before..."
...
"You want them to bring it up?" Liu Xuan said, "Then your reputation...?"
"I'm justified, and I won't lose my reputation." Wu Youwei said, "Students will be careful."
He still has to live in the Ming Dynasty for more than 100 years, and he can't bear the damage to his reputation.
Liu Xuan finally agreed, but asked him to do so without damaging his reputation, otherwise it would be difficult to restore his damaged reputation in the future.
It may even affect career.
After eating a home-cooked dinner at Liu Xuan's place, Wu Youwei went back to Zhang Sheng's place, and arrived at Wu's mansion by car the next morning.
At that time, the Wu Mansion was overcrowded, surrounded by a group of Royal Forest Army.
And tomorrow is the day when His Majesty the Emperor welcomes the Empress into the palace.
It can be said that Wu Youwei arrived at the Wu Mansion by stepping on the spot. When Wu Jun saw him, his face was almost black.
It's just that in front of so many guests, I was too embarrassed to directly reprimand my concubine brother, so I had to say hello, and continued to work as if I didn't see him.
This time the person he brought was Wu Ying. After all, Wu Ying was his own son. At such an important moment, of course his own son had to show his face.
Wu Youwei didn't care either.
Suddenly, he was pulled by someone, looked left and right, there was no one, and there was no one behind him, he lowered his head, and saw his little nephew, Wu Qiong!
"Good nephew!" Wu Youwei was overjoyed, and hugged him: "Why are you here?"
He remembered that a few days ago, when Wu Ying got married, he was still among the women in the backyard, why did he come out now?
"My mother said, I'm already over seven years old, and men and women have different seats at seven years old." The little guy hugged Wu Youwei's neck and giggled: "So I came out to socialize.
"Do you know what 'entertainment' is and you just came out? "Wu Youwei pinched his little nose.
"Just come out and deal with them, Qiong'er knows." Little Wu Qiong sniffed: "It's just that no one cares about Qiong'er.
Wu Youwei felt sad for a moment: "It's okay, my little uncle is here, let's go, my little uncle will take you.
There is no man in the second room who can stand up to the family. Although Wu Youwei sends people to see them from time to time or visits them himself, and the gifts are very high-end, but there is no adult man, which is still a weakness.
Especially Wu Mengshi, the second sister-in-law, is a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.
At this moment today, no one in the second room stood up, and he was going to be forgotten, but the little nephew was too young. In his era, such a young child had just entered the first grade of elementary school, okay?
Besides, when he came out, Wu Jun and Wu Ying didn't see him at all. What can a child do here?Also "entertainment"!
"Mother said, let me come out to see and learn." The child hugged his little uncle's neck and buried his head in: "But Qiong'er doesn't know anyone."
"Don't be afraid, little uncle is here." Wu Youwei noticed that the child's body was shaking a little, knowing that he was scared after meeting so many strangers at once.
I'm alone, I don't have any relatives by my side, and I don't always follow, so it's not convenient for people to follow me on this occasion!
After coaxing him for a long time, the child got better. Wu Youwei hugged him for a long time, and let him go, holding his little hand.
On the day of Wu Ying's marriage, Wu Youwei's performance was very outstanding. Some people absolutely reached the point of "avoiding Wu Youwei for fear of being too late" and "respecting him at a distance": they were afraid of being pulled into storytelling!
Wu Youwei was contented, and sat on a chair beside him with his little nephew, eating snacks and drinking tea, cracking melon seeds and peeling peanuts.
Occasionally someone passed by, and seeing the two of them, they didn't want their father to be young, and Wu Qiong was seven years old.
It's not like brothers...the age difference is not too big, but there is a big gap in clothing and appearance.
Wu Youwei wore plain clothes, obviously he was a well-known Juren.
Wu Qiong was wearing a small gown made of the best silk brocade, small brocade boots, and a gold-embedded jade necklace and a name lock around her neck.
There is also a small jade pendant on the small belt, which looks like a pampered young master from a wealthy family.
"Who is this?"
"The second and third rooms of the Wu Mansion.
"The emperor's concubine brother, and the son of another concubine brother who has already gone.
"Oh!"
One pass ten, ten pass one hundred, and soon you will know.
But Wu Youwei is too pedantic, and the child is too young, the uncle and nephew started chatting with each other when they were together, and little Wu Qiong had already learned three hundred thousand things.
"It's amazing!" Wu Youwei encouraged his little nephew very happily, and at the same time he also understood that the second sister-in-law probably wanted his little nephew to show his face in front of people, and it would be best if he could earn a good reputation among the guests. I wish you a good teacher.
What kind of teacher do you still worship?
When Wu Youwei decided to go back, he introduced Zhang Sheng to his second sister-in-law, and asked Xiao Wu Qiong to worship Zhang Sheng as his teacher. Zhang Sheng would be the number one scholar in the future.
With a big name, it is very good for the future of my little nephew!
The two of them stayed together all the time, even at lunchtime, Wu Youwei took the child to sit and eat together.
They are all from the Wu family, so of course they are sitting at the table of close relatives.
This made Wu Jun and Wu Ying look sideways for a long time, these two people really dare to sit
But they couldn't help but sit down, these two were indeed close relatives.
When getting married in ancient times, the wedding ceremony was at dusk, and after the first five rituals, the highlight was the wedding ceremony.
Ordinary people usually go to the father-in-law's house to pick up the bride with the groom leading the wedding team.
But when this kind of thing came to the emperor, it changed.
Due to the supreme status, he sent a minister with sons and daughters as a representative to welcome the relatives.
At the same time, the palace had already been decorated with lights and festoons, and all the main palaces were fully equipped with firecrackers and large red candles with the characters of Double Happiness in gilt.
Even the imperial road is paved with red felt.
Before dusk, the guard of honor and the drum band were in front of the welcoming procession, and the welcoming messengers were in the middle, followed by the welcoming officials, eunuchs, and bodyguards. They went out of the Meridian Gate, together with the Queen's guard of honor, carrying a large number of gifts, and came straight to the Wu Mansion. .
At the same time, the wedding banquet in the Wu Mansion was over, and Wu Jun led the whole family, young and old, to kneel at the gate to meet the welcoming team.
Wu Youwei knelt there, feeling pain in his knee.
The welcoming envoy loudly proclaimed: Wu's Youde, gentle and virtuous, elegant and dignified, is the queen of the book, the model of the six palaces, and the mother of the world.Control the concubines in the harem internally to prosper the imperial family; externally assist the emperor, to clarify the law, and to be close to virtuous ministers... so that the world will obey the king, and all parties will respect the dynasty.This is it.
Wu Qian'er wore the queen's gown, wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei, and knelt down to accept the gold book and gold treasure. When the auspicious time came, the group returned to the Forbidden City, and the queen was sent to the Kunning Palace to worship the heaven and the earth and make a big gift.
The emperor's wedding was officially completed.
At the same time, those who went to congratulate Wu's house dispersed.
Everyone in the Wu family is exhausted. Marriage is a tedious job, let alone marrying a queen into the palace.
But they were so tired that they were willing, but Wu Youwei took the opportunity to leave quickly.
It's okay if no one noticed, he should have suffered if someone noticed.
Because when he came, he had nothing to worry about, and he didn't bring any congratulatory gifts!
He was holding his breath, feeling unbalanced, insisting on doing something.
As I said before, that pair of old gold bracelets was his makeup for Wu Qian'er, so he didn't send any congratulatory gifts now!
Wu Qian'er, the queen's marriage, is not as good as when her brother Wu Ying got married, Wu Youwei gave a lot of things!
But so what?
No one noticed anyway!
Besides, Wu Qian'er, the queen, only has a one-month shelf life, and after one month, she has to live in the cold palace.
The relationship between the two was not good, why did he bother selling noodles at a loss?
What's more, she can come back once she enters the palace, and then she will be bored in the palace. Wu Youwei is not afraid that she will settle accounts with him.
Wu Qian'er's phoenix chariot walked forward, and Wu Youwei led the people out of the Wu Mansion on the back.
