Chapter 287 My Nephew Gets Married
For a mere concubine, this dowry is richer than his wife's!
Yes, not long ago, Wu Ying finally married another wife, a concubine from a sixth-rank official family, with a dowry of 1000 taels and 500 taels of silver at the bottom of the box.
Wu Sun's family was going to the Marquis's Mansion, seeing the ten miles of red makeup, her eyes were red!
Her current daughter-in-law is very honest, she can be rounded and flattened at will, but the dowry is tightly held, and she does not subsidize the family at all.
But in Mo Ling Villa, there was joy and joy.
While waiting for the groom to pick him up, Wu Youwei gave Wu Pei'er another 1000 taels of gold ticket: "Don't tell anyone about this, I'll give you money from your own house."
"Father..." Wu Pei'er's eyes were red with excitement: "It's enough, enough for my daughter!"
"You're getting married, don't cry!" Wu Youwei smiled and touched the full set of gold masks on her head: "From now on, I will be someone else's daughter-in-law. As a father, I haven't taught you well, you Mother... I will take good care of you at home. If you have any grievances, you can go back to your mother's house. You have a father and a mother. I beat Fang Hongzhuo too. You are my eldest daughter, Tanhualang's daughter.
"Hmm!" Wu Pei'er sniffed: "Father, my daughter is not filial, so I can't continue to be filial under your knees. Remember to wear the clothes I made for you. Auntie is a little out of tune, but she has no bad intentions, so I will trouble you in the future." gone.'
Wu Pei'er was grateful to Wu Youwei in her heart. She still remembered that year, when she had just passed her birthday, the ceremony had not yet been held. Of course, there was no condition to hold it at that time.
It was taken by the aunt to sell to a businessman as a stepmother.
The businessman was in his 50s, older than her biological father!
The sons are more than one round older than her, and the grandsons are all running around. Just because she is the daughter of the abolished empress, a concubine, and worthless, she will be taken by the aunt in exchange for a dowry, not to mention a business woman, or a stepmother. ..
She was so frightened at the time, if it wasn't for her father, how could she be so red now, marrying Jin Yiwei and trying thousands of households?
And my mother had inquired about it. After she passed the door, Master Wan would remove the word "trial" for Fang Hongzhuo and make him a real Qianhu.
Back then, my father, no, my uncle, was Jinyiwei Qianhu, not as good as Fang Hongzhuo, Fang Hongzhuo was a real powerful Qianhu of Fusi in Beizhen, Uncle Wu Jun was just a vain job back then...
When she was 17, she said she was engaged, and when she was 19, she got married.
The reason why she didn't marry until she was 19 years old, she also knew that it was for her own good, one was because the Wu family valued her daughter and didn't want her to marry early, I heard that princesses only get married when they are eighteen or nineteen; The other is that the female doctor in the pharmacy said that it is best for a woman to get married after her [-]s and give birth after her twenties.
If the pelvis is not opened before giving birth, it is easy to have dystocia, and the child's bones are not very good.
So it was delayed until she was 19 years old, in autumn, before she got married.
"What's the trouble? She misses you, so she will let someone set up a car to see you. I have also agreed with the Fang family. Your mother will go to see you, and they will not say anything." Wu Youwei said: "Your mother is suffering. Half of their lives, only you, a daughter, they can understand.
"Yeah, yeah!" Wu Pei'er nodded, the golden phoenix step on her head swaying.
Fang Hongzhuo finally went to the boudoir after going through five trials, and a talented person in Jinyiwei recited a good make-up poem, waiting for the bride to go out.
When Wu Qiong went out with the bride on his back, Xiao Mingde still remembered holding his sister's thigh...he couldn't reach other places, and said in a childlike voice: "Sister is not afraid, brother-in-law dares to bully you, Mingde will deal with him! "
Everyone looked at Fang Hongzhuo, who was tall and burly, and the majestic Jinyiwei tried Qianhu, but he was cleaned up by a little doll as soon as he said it, they were all dumbfounded by laughter!
Fang Hongzhuo also blushed and said, "Don't worry, brother-in-law will never bully your sister."
Goodbye to Wu Youwei, Wu Youwei watched the sedan chair go away, reluctant to part with it.
"Fortunately, the marriage is not far away, and the marriage is far away...I definitely don't agree to this marriage!" Wu Youwei curled his lips.
"If you think about it, go and have a look, what are you afraid of?" Wan Tongdao: "The Wan family is also in Jinshi Lane, and your two sisters are there.
Three days later, Wu Peier returned home.
Fang's family sent a very generous return home gift, Wu Youwei saw Wu Pei'er's shy smile, and knew in his heart that she was doing well.
Fang Hongzhuo could drink, but Wu Youwei didn't drink him, because Wantong was around, and Fang Hongzhuo didn't dare to drink his father-in-law.
After returning home, even if all the marriage procedures have been completed and the daughter's marriage is completed, it should belong to the nephew.
There is no male in the second room, and Wu Qiong, as the groom's official, is also a young boy, so he can't take it seriously. Wu Youwei specially arranged for them to get married on the day before he entered the Hanlin Academy.
So housekeeper Lin Su was not only busy marrying the young lady, but also busy getting married with the young master and nephew.
In August Xinyou, Wu Qiong got married and married Zhang Shi and Zhang Yuanjin.
As early as after getting engaged, Wu Youwei slowly set aside the six ceremonies. Wu Mengshi knew that the Zhang family did not have much wealth, so the betrothal gift he gave was very generous. There was a lot of cloth, which was suitable for the elderly to wear. The second elder of the Zhang family makes clothes.
This thoughtfulness won the favor of the two elders of the Zhang family.
Engaged and hired, Wu Youwei added a lot to the second room.
He knew what his sister-in-law was thinking, and he was afraid that his family would outshine the Zhang family and would not be able to give a betrothal gift that matched the Zhang family's number one daughter, so Wu Youwei had someone carve ten top-quality suet jade ornaments.
Free Avalokitesvara, Birthday Arhat, Shoubi Nanshan, Liu Haixi Jinchan, Maitreya Buddha with big belly.
Avalokitesvara giving off a child, Magu presenting her birthday, national beauty and heavenly fragrance, Dapeng Garuda, and happy plum blossoms.
They even gave four sets of jade ornaments, ten sets of jade pendants, jade butterflies, jade orioles, etc. everywhere.
They are all top-quality suet jade, green, milky white, pure white, milky yellow, light yellow and so on.
This betrothal gift definitely satisfied the Zhang family. Wu Qiong alone gave the Zhang family a set of jade carvings of the Four Treasures of the Study, which are so exquisite that they can be regarded as family heirlooms.
The Zhang family was not ambiguous, Zhang Yuanjin also had a lot of dowry, and the increase or decrease of the betrothal gift also brought back eight points, plus the dowry prepared by the Zhang family.
Also, at this time, all the new scholars have returned to the capital, and the makeup of others is also very impressive, and it is conspicuous enough to carry them all the way.
The marriage of the daughter of the number one scholar to Tanhualang's young Sanyuan and the nephew of the first became a good story in Beijing, including this wedding, which was very eye-catching, and even the emperor, empress, and concubine Wan congratulated each other with gifts.
Not many, but it represents the emperor's favor.
Before the worship, Wu Youwei hung a portrait of Wu Pang on the chair.
"I promised you that if you pass the exam, I will give you a portrait of your father." Wu Youwei looked at Wu Qiong: "Today you are married, and my second brother Quan Xiayouzhi will be very happy.
"Yes, I will be happy!" Wu Mengshi was wearing dark red festive attire. This was the first time she wore such bright clothes in so many years.
Since she became a widow, she has never worn bright colors such as bright red and purple, and has always been plain and dull.
Today was the first time Wu Youwei saw her dressed so brightly and solemnly.
"Uncle Xie." Wu Qiong changed her address.
He used to call him "Uncle", but from now on, he calls Wu Youwei "Uncle".
During the worship, Wu Mengshi shed tears, this time, tears of joy.
After being sent to the bridal chamber, the banquet was held, Wu Youwei received officials and guests outside, and Wu Mengshi received guests inside.
Guanke refers to male guests; Tangke refers to female guests.
After the wedding, when he returned home three days later, he brought a generous gift. After returning, Wu Youwei opened the ancestral hall. On the genealogy, next to Wu Qiong, it was written: Married wife Zhang, number one scholar Zhang Sheng Zhang Qizhaozhi Female, her boudoir name is Yuanjin.
He wrote in detail, one is the importance he attaches to Zhang Yuanjin; the other is to leave more useful information for the descendants of his family.
After writing the genealogy, Wu Youwei said: "Since you have already married, you should have a name."
"Yes, uncle." Wu Qiong made a bow: "Please give me the words, uncle."
"Hmm..." Wu Youwei pondered for a moment: "Shi Ji.
Shi, official career.
Lucky, lucky.
"Wu Qiong, Wu Shiji." Wu Youwei said: "Because of the relationship between the family's surnames, you must be... cautious when choosing a name!"
Wu Qiong thought of Wu Ying. The word "sapphire" was used at the beginning, but what happened?
Wu Qingyu, Ruthless Rain?Or ruthless what?
Wu Ying changed two wives, and it is said that she married "the third...
Isn't that right? When choosing a name for the surname Wu, you have to be careful, because if you don't get it right, it will be gone!
If there is no urgent matter, it is nothing. The most important thing in an official career is to be stable and smooth, so that you can be young.....
Wu Youwei didn't want Wu Qiong to follow Wu Ying, what Meiyu, Meiyu was already in the name, enough.
After giving the word, we had a reunion dinner together.
"Will uncle still want to go back to live in the Wu Mansion in central Beijing?" Wu Qiong asked Wu Youwei while eating.
"Well, I'm going to the Imperial Academy soon... to work." Wu Youwei said, "You study hard at the Taowen Academy, and try to come back from the exam. If you can become the number one scholar like your father-in-law, that will be a good story. !"
Father-in-law and son-in-law are all champions, how wonderful it would be!
"That's not guaranteed." Wu Qiong said with a smile: "You have full confidence in your nephew."
"Work hard!" Wu Youwei said: "It happens that you stay at home and help me look after some villas. If there is anything to do, let someone come to the city and tell me. Your mother has been a widow for so many years, and it is hard for you to get married. Yes, give birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible, let her take it with her, and she will be consummated.
Wu Qiong blushed: "Yes.
After the reunion dinner, Wu Youwei asked someone to pack up.
Wujia Village experienced two weddings in a row, and it was very lively, but after the wedding, the autumn harvest was about to come, and everyone was full of food and work hard.
This year's Daming harvested again in autumn. The corn on the border grew stronger than wheat and sorghum. During the autumn harvest, the yield per mu reached a thousand catties.
The farmland on the border is self-sufficient enough. When people and animals can eat enough, the general guarding the border will immediately unite with the local guarding eunuchs to announce the good news to Beijing after the autumn harvest.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Wu Youwei and the others entered the Imperial Academy.
Generally speaking, the top three will enter the Hanlin Academy.
Because Yijia does not need to pass the exam to enter the Hanlin Academy, and will be awarded directly.
The title of "No. [-] Scholar" is "Hanlin Academy Xiuzhuan", a sixth-rank official, equivalent to the current regional level; The seventh-rank official position is equivalent to the current county magistrate's position.
Other Jinshi must participate in the selection of the Imperial Academy, and those who pass the examination can be admitted to the Imperial Academy, called the Shujishi of the Imperial Academy.
Those who pass the examination three years later will be awarded the editors, reviewers and other officials of the Imperial Academy.
Other Jinshi who failed to pass the examination were distributed to various ministries as directors and other positions, or they were appointed by county magistrates first, which was called Sanguan.
So Wu Youwei and the three of them entered the Hanlin Academy, and he and Yang Yiqing were officials of the seventh rank, editors of the Hanlin Academy.
Hanlin is the literary attendant of the emperor. The Hanlin Academy was established from the Tang Dynasty. It was originally an institution serving people with artistic skills. However, after Tang Xuanzong, it evolved into an important institution specializing in drafting secret imperial edicts. Those who work in the academy are called Hanlin Bachelors.
Editing by the Hanlin Academy, generally speaking, after the palace examination of the imperial examination, is edited by the second place in the list and Tanhua.
The main activities of Hanlin were mostly the daily work of the imperial court, such as drafting imperial edicts, compiling historical books, serving lectures at banquets, etc.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they were selected from Jinshi instead.
He is the emperor's literary attendant, and is served by No. [-] and Tanhua.
It is mainly responsible for drafting imperial edicts and confidential documents. Of course, it also has the meaning of observing politics... Of course, this is also the source of the future prime minister, so the Hanlin Academy is also known as the "Prime Minister Hall".
