199 The emperor asked the wedding date
After Chu Tianxiu and Shen Wanbao had a detailed discussion, he would sell glass in those places himself, and those places he would hand over to Chen Wanbao to sell.
Chen Wanbao left satisfied and went back to report his father Shen Dafu.
In fact, whether it was the previous Hunhou paper or the divine newspaper, I earned a small amount of money and worked hard money. Moreover, after the price of the paper was reduced, the profit was also thin. The Shen family's expenses were at most, which was enough for the Shen family to spend on weekdays, which was far from a large industry like silk.
The main business of the Shen family is always silk.
However, the most advanced jewelry luxury of glazing is a good thing that is almost comparable to silk. Once it becomes bigger, the profit is unimaginable.
The Shen family has made the job of Liuli, so they don’t have to hang themselves on the silk tree in the future.
Moreover, this industry was completely built by Chen Wanbao and Xiaohunhou. From now on, the Shen family will be halfway through the sky, and there is no need to worry that his father Shen Dafu will not give him money.
...
Jinling Imperial Palace.
Emperor Xiang Yanran was watching the report of the spring sowing of various counties in Dachu.
Since the New Deal of the Gengzi, everything has been complicated.
But agriculture is the foundation. As long as the grain is abundant and there is no famine in the world, the Great Chu Dynasty will be as stable as Mount Tai.
However, mixed with various memorials, there are many dazzling complaints sent by the princes and kings.
In the complaint, half of the complaints were sued by Chu Tianxiu, and a small part of the remaining part was sued by the Prince Ping's Mansion - suing his brother, Wang Ping, which has never happened before.
There was no one who sued Hunhou's mansion. It was probably everyone who knew Lao Hunhou Chu Yong's face. Even his son was sent to marry into his family, so he couldn't do anything. After thinking about it, no one went to Hunhou.
"Recently, many people have sued Xiaohunhou! Since I ascended the throne, I have never seen the angry and resentful people, like Xiaohunhou!"
Xiang Yanran sighed.
Cai and the eunuch listened, with a look of embarrassment on their faces. It wasn’t Xiao Hunhou who took the blame for the emperor.
No Xiaohunhou took the blame.
What people in the world scolded is that the emperor was stupid and acted against the enemy.
"However, these people are too brave, even my righteous brother, Prince Ping's Mansion, dare to sue. King Ping has made such a great contribution, and has worked diligently for decades.
He actually said that a cellar was dug in the Pingwang Mansion, hiding thousands of armoured weapons, with ulterior motives!?”
There was a cold light in Xiang Yanran's eyes.
Cai and the eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't be deceived by these villains. Most of these are false accusations.
Lao Nu saw King Ping’s loyalty and righteousness.
They were forced to get furious by Xiaohunhou, and they were eager to jump over the wall and catch wind and shadows. They had to bite anything they caught, and they were counting on being able to bite a hole."
The eunuch shouldn't have interrupted this matter.
However, a few days ago, Xiaohunhou went to the palace to give some gifts to the empress dowager, queen and concubines in the harem.
Xiaohunhou stuffed one or two pieces into their eunuchs’ arms, all of which were extremely rare glass treasures.
There are not too many things.
But it's rare!
Not many people were giving gifts to the imperial concubines in the palace and still thinking about eunuchs.
The Emperor of Great Chu was wise and powerful, and all the ministers of the court were powerful. None of the empress dowagers and concubines in the harem were easy to mess with. These eunuchs were all grandsons and did not have much power.
The eunuchs in the palace had a similar relationship with Xiao Hunhou, but after receiving Xiao Hunhou's gift, they were happy for a moment, and the atmosphere changed drastically. Seeing that Xiao Hunhou was so sensible, they didn't scold Xiao Hunhou anymore.
Anyway, the emperor valued Xiaohunhou and Wang Ping, and Xiaohunhou did nothing, so it would be fine if Cai He helped to say something.
"I know that Xiao Hunhou has suffered this crime for me, and King Ping has been implicated by Xiao Hunhou!"
Xiang Yanran sighed.
When a minister suffers a crime for the emperor and bears a bad reputation, there is no more loyalty than this.
“By the way, there is one more thing.
I have given the marriage to Xiaohunhou and Princess Danyang. The imperial edict has been completed for half a year. Why hasn't I seen Prince Ping's Mansion so far and organized a wedding?... Could it be that Prince Ping is not satisfied with this marriage?"
Xiang Yanran suddenly remembered this incident and was a little confused.
But, it's not right.
At that time, King Ping Li Rong and Marquis of Lao Hun Chu Yong rushed into the palace excitedly and asked for an imperial edict to marry into a marriage.
Princess Danyang is Li Rong's only daughter and only married, so she had to recruit a son-in-law.
It is estimated that Da Chu will not be able to find a second son-in-law who is a marquis-level son-in-law.
It can be seen that King Ping is still happy to recruit a little marquis to be his son-in-law.
But the delay in holding the wedding still puzzled him.
"I went to ask about this and knew a little about it. The civilians married into each other and handled it easily. After passing the door, they would be finished.
But the more wealthy the family, the more particular the marriage ceremony is.
First, the man who married into the family came to live in the mansion, which means that the man regards the woman as his home.
Half a year later, I gave a betrothal gift and made a wedding date. Calculate the day, and the engagement is coming soon.
It took a year to go, and the two families had just gotten married. The woman was staying at her grandmother's house, and the man went from the mansion to "marry" the woman through the house.
All these weddings, dowry, sedan chairs, drums and music are like marriage. Even the name is not called marriage, but marriage.
Prince Ping’s Mansion is the first-class nobleman in the Great Chu. Princess Danyang is the only daughter, so the marriage cannot be hasty, and it is all done according to the highest rules.
So the wedding will not be too early, it should be at the end of the year."
Cai He Da Eunuch said.
Because not many people come to marry into the house, even fewer people join the house in wealthy families, most people don’t understand the rules of marrying into the house in wealthy families.
Cai and the eunuchs went to consult some senior matchmakers and asked some old people before they understood the mystery.
Emperor Xiang Yanran then realized it.
The marriage ceremony of this royal mansion is quite complicated and not simpler than marriage.
"Oh, so that's it."
Xiang Yanran thoughtfully said, "A few days will be the Dragon Boat Festival, which is a rare zodiac auspicious day! Although the wedding day has not yet arrived, the engagement banquet can still be held!
You go to Pingwang Mansion and tell King Pingwang that you will prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival engagement banquet and have a wide range of guests. This major event must be done.
I will personally go to serve as witnesses for Xiaohunhou and Princess Danyang.
I want everyone in the world to know that those rumors will not affect the status of King Ping and Xiao Hunhou. Xiao Hunhou sold his life for me, so I will support him."
"Yes, I'll go to the Prince Ping's Mansion and help you arrange this matter. You must hold the engagement banquet in a grand manner! Your Majesty, you personally serve as the witness, which is a blessing that Xiaohunhou has cultivated in his eight lifetimes."
Cai and the eunuch hurriedly said.
The emperor went to serve as a witness for Xiaohunhou, and he would be very proud of his face.
