Chapter 1,56 Marriage

The emperor actually wanted to give him a marriage. As soon as these words were said, the people present felt a little different!

You should know that the emperor gave a marriage to a large extent, which shows his importance to this minister. Now that Ouyang Chengxu has actually received the emperor's marriage, does that prove that Emperor Jingtai has attached great importance to him?

Of course, the court was granted marriage by Emperor Jingtai, except Ouyang Chengxu, and the reason was Jianglang. Of course, the reason was very simple. In this court, except Jianglang, the other ministers were either forty or fifty or sixty or seventy. Emperor Jingtai had only been eight years since he ascended the throne. At that time, who had not married a wife except Jianglang? The emperor could not let this adult marry a concubine, wouldn’t it be a joke if he spread it?

So now I heard that Emperor Jingtai wanted to give this young man a marriage, and I was a little envious, but I was also helpless at the same time. Who said that I was old and didn’t catch up!

Below, Ouyang Chengxu's mother and Liang Xiaoyue looked at each other, and couldn't help but see joy in each other's eyes. Now, the emperor gave the marriage. Ouyang Chengxu had no reason to refuse. He didn't expect that the wish was achieved in the end! But well, it's enough to achieve this goal. No matter what method is used, it doesn't matter!

Wang Sheng was really happy now, and now it was good. His daughter married into the Ouyang family and married into a wealthy family, and he could get what he wanted. He would not worry about this next life! Thinking of the happy days in the future, Wang Sheng was so grateful to Emperor Jingtai in his heart!

Ouyang Chengxu suddenly realized when he was surprised that he could not refuse at all. The emperor personally gave the marriage, and there were a few ministers in the court. Even when he was not married or liked by a strange woman, he had no way to refuse, because once he refused, his career would end. Not only would the emperor be very dissatisfied with him, but Lord Wang would also be dissatisfied. Without their support, his future would be completely bleak!

Putting aside these things, it is fortunate that the person who gave the marriage was still Yu'er. If you say that you are completely ruthless to Yu'er, it would be a must-have thing, so in this heart, I don't really reject it!

Yu'er's heart is also very complicated now. If the emperor gave the marriage, she would have no way to refuse. So does it mean that she would be the second young lady of the Ouyang family?

Jingtaidi paused and then smiled, "I wonder if anyone has objected to my opinion?"

In this case, of course no one objected.

"Okay, since no one objected, then Ouyang Chengxu, I will give you a marriage now, so you don't object!"

"I don't object!"

Ouyang Chengxu hurriedly said, of course he would not object!

"very good!"

Emperor Jingtai smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, let me pass on my will now, Ouyang Chengxu and Wang Yuer will get married tomorrow."

As soon as these words were said, everyone knew it. Ouyang Chengxu and others kowtowed at this time, saying, "I (the sage) thank you for your kindness!"

Emperor Jingtai was very happy now and said, "Okay, let's prepare when you go back!"

After saying that, he turned his head to Jiang Lang and said, "Wang Aiqing, you can go to the treasury to choose a gift later and use it as a congratulatory gift I gave you!"

Jiang Lang immediately agreed, and Ouyang Chengxu and others naturally kowtowed and thanked each other again. After getting up, Ouyang Chengxu couldn't help but look at his wife, and Yu'er naturally had a flushed face!

After leaving the Golden Palace, the happiest person was Ouyang Chengxu's mother. He said to Wang Sheng: "In-law, the emperor has chosen tomorrow. Time is already a little tight. Why not do this? You go back first, I will ask someone to prepare the dowry and wait for it to be delivered. Well, there are Yu'er's dowry and the marriage team. Well... there are too many things. In this way, Xiaoyue, I will feel wronged and go to Yu'er's house to help arrange it. I will arrange this family!"

This wedding date is tomorrow, and the preparation time is only one afternoon and evening. You should know that there are many processes to go through in this era, especially rich families. The Ouyang family is now a well-known family. Of course, it cannot be done casually, so there are more people who need to prepare than ordinary people. When their son gets married, Ouyang Chengxu's mother is naturally anxious than anyone else!

Liang Xiaoyue also agreed very simply, took Yu'er's hand and said, "So sister, let's go first, there are still many things to do this afternoon!"

Yu'er looked back at Ouyang Chengxu, and Ouyang Chengxu also looked over, smiled slightly, and nodded!

Yu'er's face suddenly turned red, then quickly turned her head, followed Liang Xiaoyue hurried to Xiaoyue's house. For a bride, she was going to get married, and there were actually many things to do, such as dowry, etc., which were all done in real time. Of course, if you have money, all the problems were not a problem, and the Ouyang family was naturally very rich!

"What are you still standing there? Go back,"

Ouyang Chengxu's mother also said hurriedly at this time, then called the carriage and rushed to the house. Of course, she had to prepare immediately for her son's wedding!

At Ouyang's house, Ouyang Ming was waiting anxiously at the door. His wife and daughter-in-law had been summoned early this time, and he didn't know what was going on. At this time, he happened to see Ouyang Chengxu and others come back and quickly met him. However, seeing his wife, he looked anxious, and Liang Xiaoyue was not by his side. He couldn't help but say anxiously: "What are you asking you to do today? Where is this Xiaoyue?"

Ouyang Chengxu's mother didn't talk much at the moment, but said, "Hurry, let's prepare invitations, list the guests, and send someone to prepare the bride price immediately..."

Ouyang Chengxu's mother said anxiously, making Ouyang Ming feel dizzy and asked quickly: "Wait, what are you doing?"

Ouyang Chengxu's mother turned her head and immediately said, "Today in the court, Xu'er and Yu'er were given a marriage by the emperor, and they wanted them to get married tomorrow!"

“What…what?”

Ouyang Ming was stunned at this moment, his mouth was so wide that it almost closed, and then he asked in disbelief: "What did you say? Xu'er and Yu'er were given a marriage by the emperor, and they wanted them to get married tomorrow?"

"Do I have the courage to use this to joke? Today I said in front of so many people in the court! Hurry up, why don't you arrange it quickly! Why are you stupid? And Xu'er's clothes. By the way, this matchmaker has to find one!"

Ouyang Chengxu's mother immediately said that although the emperor was a matchmaker, he had to go to give gifts and marry a bride, otherwise there would be a kind of injustice and bad reputation. Of course, of course, we should not bother the Emperor Jingtai, the Nine Five Lord, to do this!

Ouyang Ming also reported it and immediately shouted: "Come here, hurry up, go prepare the bride price, and also find the tailor. On the one hand, measure the clothes for the second young master, and also go to the Yu'er girl's house. Well, go to a few people to the eldest young master's grandmother's place to see what he has to give, and also bring enough money!"

His son was actually given a marriage by the emperor. This is a very important matter. For Ouyang Ming, this can be exactly the same as his son becoming a fourth-rank official. The most important thing is that time is extremely tight!

So, the entire Ouyang family suddenly became lively as if they were stabbed in a hornet's nest. The maid Ding family ran in and out, and the craftsmen were busy in and out, but there were also some people very free, that is Ouyang Chengxu. His main thing now is to wait and wait to marry his bride tomorrow!

Money can be a ghost. After more than an hour, the dowry is ready, and there is also this matchmaker, etc. Of course, at this time, Ouyang Chengxu did not have to wear his groom's uniform. After changing into clean clothes, he went out to ride a tall horse and then took the huge team to Yu'er's house!

Ancient book "Book of Rites."

"The Hun Li" records: "The Hun Li is to combine the favors of the two surnames. The superior serves the ancestral temple and the inferior follows the future generations. Therefore, the gentleman values ​​it. Therefore, the Hun Li is honored by the Hun Li, asks for the name, Naji, asks for the name, and invites the Zheng, and asks for the time. The hosts are banquets at the temple, and worships and welcomes the door, enters, bows and gives way, and obeys the orders of the temple, so they are respectful and cautious. "The "Yi Li" says: "There are six rituals of Hun Li, asks for the name, Naji, asks for the name, Naji, asks for the time, and welcomes the time." This is the traditional custom of "Six Marriages" that was created in the Western Zhou Dynasty and was followed by previous dynasties. It is also the source of the custom of "bride price".

What Ouyang Chengxu did now is to pick up the goods, and the betrothal gift includes some gold, silver and jewelry and non-publication. It is all packed in several very exquisitely made boxes, tied with red silk on it, and then ran towards Yu'er's house in a mighty way!

In comparison, Liang Xiaoyue has a little less staff. Fortunately, there are two wives and doctors who come out with them. In this way, these people immediately joined in to help them!

After returning, she was busy immediately, and Liang Xiaoyue really had the style of a big shot. Now she was like a general who commanded the battle, commanding everyone to start to get busy. First, she cleaned Yu'er's girl's house well. After a while, the people sent by the Ouyang family dared to come over, including tailors, etc.!

You should know that the Yuer family is just an ordinary commoner. The place where they live is just like the slums in the capital. After all, whether it is now or later, the rich and poor are naturally poor. As a result, many people gathered around to ask what happened. Wang Sheng is naturally proud of his current pride and did not hide at all, so he directly told these neighbors about the emperor's marriage!

The emperor actually gave a marriage to an ordinary person. It was like throwing a big stone into a calm lake, causing a lot of trouble. Although some people were skeptical, they saw that those people were busy and many of them were obviously not local people, and they looked like family servants. Another point was that there was a woman who was commanding these people there. The momentum was very unusual, not many people believed it, and they also joined in. Soon, Yu'er's not very good home was dressed up completely and very clean!

Ermao, who escaped by chance, also came back at this time. Seeing the lively scene of the Yu'er family, he didn't dare to do anything even if he gave him a hundred courages. He could only look at it from afar and finally save his life. At this time, he still had a burden to provoke Yu'er!

One and a half later, Ouyang Chengxu and Nacai's team arrived at Yu'er's doorstep. On both sides, there were people watching. Now they believed that the fact that Yu'er was given a marriage was definitely not a fake. The young man in front of him saw that it was from a wealthy family. Even the Nacai team behind him was very long, so there were naturally a lot of brides. The Ouyang family will not be short of this little money at all!

Actually, this time I came to give gifts. After entering, Wang Sheng was already waiting happily. He was wearing a very new set of clothes. The matchmaker took the lead in. After all, according to the rules, the matchmaker had to propose marriage first. After Wang Sheng agreed, Ouyang Chengxu came in. Of course, Ouyang Chengxu could not see Yu'er now. The night before the marriage, the groom and the bride could not meet!

Wang Sheng naturally had no objection. Ouyang Chengxu came in and met Wang Sheng quickly. Then the matchmaker asked for Yu'er's birth date and horoscope and mixed it with Ouyang Chengxu's birth date. In fact, Ouyang Chengxu's mother had already passed, and the birth date and horoscope of the two were very consistent!

The birth date or the eight characters are actually another statement in the term "Four Pillars" in the Zhou Yi term. The four pillars refer to the time when a person is born, that is, year, month, day, and time. When a person uses a character to express the year, month, day, time, such as the year of Jiazi, Bingshen, Xinchou, Renyin, etc., it contains the basic state of the movement of a person's celestial body when he is born. There are two characters in each column, and the four pillars have a total of eight characters, so fortune telling is also called "measurement of eight characters". Based on the relationship between the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the attributes of the heavenly stems and the earthly branches Yihe, it is speculated that a person's body is injured.

Eight-character marriage refers to the exchange of Geng letters between men and women before marriage, and to determine whether the eight characters are matched, it is called "eight-character marriage". The so-called marriage means combining the eight characters of men and women together, whether the five elements between the eight characters of both parties are harmonious, the great fortunes of both parties, whether there are serious bad luck in the current year and conflicts, and this will deduce the good or bad luck of the couple's future marriage life.

After Ouyang Chengxu's mother fell in love with Yu'er, she asked about Yu'er's horoscope. Yu'er didn't care, so she told her. She took the horoscopes of the two and asked the fortune teller to combine them and calculated that Yu'er was a prosperous husband. Now the exchange of horoscopes is just a routine matter!

After putting down the bride price, Ouyang Chengxu and Wang Sheng chatted for a while. Wang Sheng liked this son-in-law very much. Of course, he did not forget what they planned to do after marriage? After all, Ouyang Chengxu was on an envoy and had been away for a long time. You can't just leave the groom at home after marriage!

Ouyang Chengxu also thought about this and said, "If Yu'er is willing, I want to take her out to sea with me! I just don't know if she is adapting to this voyage. However, of course, I have to respect her opinions!"

Wang Sheng thought about it, this was indeed a solution. After all, it would be bad to keep his daughter at home and stay at home and live a widow. On the other hand, it was the most important thing. Wang Sheng hoped that he could hold a grandson quickly, because he had only one. Only with his grandson could his daughter's status in the Ouyang family be stronger!

Ouyang Chengxu was delayed for a while at Yu'er's house before leaving!

And the Ouyang family is still extremely busy now, and the busyness is no less than the time when Ouyang Chengxu was awarded the title of official position. Moreover, this time it was also very sudden!

The guests who received the invitation were also shocked at the time. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Chengxu actually said that he would get married as soon as he got married, which disappointed many people. Because as soon as Ouyang Chengxu got married, it means that no one else would have any chance. No one was willing to marry his daughter as a concubine. However, if someone came to invite him, he would naturally have to go there. This friendship was still needed, so he ordered someone to prepare a gift!

Time seemed to pass quickly, until late at night, the Ouyang family finally calmed down. After the afternoon preparation, the preparations were almost done. The servants and maids who had been busy for the afternoon finally had a good rest at this time, but they also knew that tomorrow would be a very busy time for them!

Ouyang Chengxu, who was lying on the bed, couldn't sleep at this time. As the saying goes, the heavens are not as good as humans. He originally found many reasons to convince his mother that he would not marry Yu'er, but what he didn't expect was that in the end, he married Yu'er when the emperor issued an order. To calculate it, this matter seemed like he was destined to hit Yu'er!

Tomorrow is my happy day. Not long ago, I was named on the gold list and tomorrow I will be bridal chambers. It is a happy couple for me. I just don’t know if this Yu'er is willing to go on an envoy with me!

At Yu'er's house, Yu'er also had a hard time sleeping too. She didn't expect that she would actually marry Mr. Ouyang. If the Ermao had not been instructed to frame Ouyang Chengxu, it would probably be impossible for the two of them to be together in their lives. In short, he would still be his benefactor!
