Chapter 383
383: Out and down
It is not suitable for outsiders to see concubines in the palace, even if Jing Yi, an outsider, looks very old, Kangxi is still very careful.Wen Xi was also surprised, with Yi Jingyi's appearance, Kangxi shouldn't need to be so narrow-minded!
Still behind the screen, Jingyi lectured on the scriptures to Kangxi.Although it is only the "Tao Te Ching", it is eloquent and easy to understand, but it has a lot of connotations and can be chewed.I didn't expect Jingyi to have something in his stomach!
"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, they regard everything as a humble dog. Mountain people don't take it seriously, the sky has a constant, the so-called "constant" is the law, the way of heaven only follows the law, not because of Yao's existence, nor because of Jie's death, so the world doesn't matter' Jen' and not 'jen'...."
It's just that Wen Xi is not interested in these things, if he talks about cultivation, maybe he can listen to it.Jing Yi spoke calmly, but Wen Xi felt drowsy when she heard it. Maybe it was because of her pregnancy, her body was easily tired, and there was Jing Yi's "lullaby", so her upper and lower eyelids soon fought.
"Your master?" Li Dequan whispered in Wen Xi's ear.
"Huh?" Wen Xi opened her sleepy eyes, "Is there something wrong?"
Li Dequan wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and said, "My lord, the national teacher has finished teaching the Daoist scriptures."
"Leaving?!" Seeing the two young eunuchs moving away the screen in front of her, Wen Xi knew that Jing Yi had left at some point.
It seems that it is really not easy to talk to him in private.
When Wen Xi returned to the palace, it happened that Concubine Cheng asked to see her, to discuss the details of Yu Ludai's marriage with her, and Wen Xi was pregnant.Lacking energy, he had to ask her to help, after all, Qi Buchen's marriage was arranged by her alone.There are rules to follow when Princess Gu Lun gets married in this dynasty, but it is quite troublesome to discuss the details.
The wedding date of Yuludai is set on the seventh day of April. The princess has to go through the six ceremonies of fingering marriage, asking for a date, accepting a lottery, surrendering, marrying, and returning to Ning. It's Nacai.This is the so-called betrothal gift. At this time, Cao Yong, the son-in-law of the forehead, has already sent "one pack, eight horses", a pair of wild geese, 99 pieces of silk and satin, 99 pieces of gold ingots, one gold tea set, two silver tea sets, and two silver basins. Tool, send the bride price to the Meridian Gate and enter respectfully.And these things have now been sent to Wenxi Palace.
Concubine Cheng personally went through it one by one, and said with a smile: "It's very compliant." The ceremony of accepting the lottery, as usual, is slightly higher than Princess Shang and Shuo, but it is similar.
Wen Xi pointed to the pair with scarlet silk tied around their necks.The wild goose who kept barking told Little Luzi, "Send this to the sixth princess!" The wild goose is a loyal bird.It means harmony between husband and wife, and it is also an indispensable etiquette for folk Nacai.Yuludai is a jasper bird, and it happened to give her a pair of birds to amuse her boredom.
Concubine Cheng said with a smile: "Next, it will be the 'surrender' in seven days." The so-called surrender means getting married, and it specifically refers to the marriage of the emperor's daughter, because the princess's status is high and her forehead is attached.Therefore, it is "down".
For Yuludai's "surrender", members of the Cao Jia clan have already rushed to the capital.
The second day of April in the 40th year of Kangxi.Kangxi held a banquet in the Hall of Zhonghe and the Hall of Preserving Harmony, entertaining the son-in-law and his male clan members. The incumbent Cao Yin, his younger brother Cao Xuan, and his nephew Cao Fu all attended the banquet.
And in the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion and Ning, hosted by the Empress Dowager's old lady, Cao Yong's grandmother Sun Shi was supposed to come, but Wen Xi told her not to come to Beijing because she was old and weak middle.Therefore, the female family headed by Cao Jia's family is Cao Yong's mother Li.
Outside the screen, the eunuch of the Palace of Compassion and Ning kowtowed to report: "Report to the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine, please pay my respects to the Empress Dowager!"
This is the rule of the Empress Dowager, the quasi-foreign consort must kowtow to the Empress Dowager before returning to the Hall of Preservation and Harmony.
The queen mother is not very happy today, but she can only follow the etiquette, and chooses Cao Yong, who is attached to the forehead, to enter the palace of compassion.As the "mother-in-law", Wen Xi naturally accompanied the Queen Mother to the banquet.Yu Ludai, who had been depressed for a long time, also accompanied Wen Xi, wearing a court dress of Princess Gu Lun's level, and appeared in full dress.
I saw Cao Yong, neither humble nor overbearing, stepped into the hall steadily, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, kneeling three times and nine times in front of the Queen Mother to salute.The Empress Dowager didn't like Cao Jia's family, so she just rewarded Cao Jia lightly as usual, and gave a few casual instructions, which was very perfunctory.
Yu Ludai was very excited, because of the rules, she couldn't speak casually, but since Wen Xi found out about that "tryst", she has never seen Cao Yong again.Even though she tried her best to keep calm, a pair of happy eyes betrayed her.
After Cao Yong listened to the Queen Mother's admonition, he got up and kowtowed to Wen Xi again.
Wen Xi leaned forward and said with a smile: "Since the lottery is accepted, the marriage is settled. The seventh day of this month is an auspicious day, which coincides with the princess's arrival. It is the day set by the emperor himself."
Cao Yong said yes, and said in a firm voice: "The slave will never fail to live up to the emperor's love!"
Cao Yong's mother, Li Shi, hurriedly said with a smile: "It is the luck of Cao Jia's whole family to be able to marry the princess!"
Isn't it the luck of the family?Because they wanted to marry Princess Gulun, the Cao family raised the flag, and the Cao family became prosperous in one fell swoop.The excitement in Li's eyes could hardly be concealed. When she was in Jiangning, how could she dare to imagine that her son would also have a day as Lord!Mrs. Li took another sneak peek at Princess Gulun Wengui, but it was a pity that after marrying the princess, she could not take concubines.Li's eyes fell on the pregnant concubine Huangguifei's belly again. The concubine Huanggui is a fertile person, and the princess must be no worse... Well, the sixth princess has a big butt too...
It's a pity that Yu Ludai didn't notice Li Shi's almost obscene gaze. If she knew what was going on in her mother-in-law's mind, she would probably be furious.
After the banquet, Wenxi drank a glass of Lingquan water, fed the stomach first, and then asked Zhu'er to fetch the dowry list, which was given by Kangxi according to Princess Gulun's rules.
There are two Huangzhuang, the eastern suburb Huangzhuang has [-] hectares of fertile land, the southeast Huangzhuang has [-] hectares of fertile land and [-] hectares of mountain forest land; one garden and one Xiaotangshan Hot Spring Village.
2000 liang of gold ingots, 6000 liang of silver ingots, [-] Ruyi gold zizi, [-] mandarin ducks and combined silver zizi.
Twenty sets of pearl beads, one hundred and eight pieces each; ten sets of coral beads, 96 pieces each; ten emerald beads; twenty sets of beeswax beads; ten sets of emerald opal beads...
One ruby facing hat, inlaid with ten second-class oriental beads; five golden phoenixes, inlaid with 25 fifth-class oriental beads; a headband inlaid with coral in gold, with a gold-inlaid lapis lazuli hanging from it; four pairs of gold bracelets, weighing 35 two.......
Five pieces of embroidered multicolored satin golden dragon gown material, 23 pieces of embroidered multicolored satin python robe material, two embroidered multicolored yarn python gown material, weaving eight groups of multicolored satin and 160 pieces of golden dragon gown...two pieces of satin with Jinshou characters on the top, large There are 980 and four pieces of silk satin in volumes, [-] pieces of satin, and [-] pieces of spun silk, a total of [-] pieces.
A pair of silver powder makeup boxes, each weighing 38 taels; a pair of silver holding pots, each weighing 21 taels;
Ten boxes of ivory wooden combs, twenty boxes of boxwood combs, ten boxes of rosewood combs, twenty boxes of large sips, one box of picking brushes...
One piece of green jade pen holder, one piece of green jade holding pot, one piece of Hanyu fairy mountain, one piece of red sandalwood stand with jade half-bi, red sandalwood stand, black lacquer pen and inkstone table, one piece of Hanyu pen holder, red sandalwood stand, Hanyu water One piece, ten pairs of red carved lacquer long drawer boxes, six pairs of carved red sandalwood rectangular boxes, two pairs of red filled lacquer chrysanthemum-style holding boxes...
Wen Xizai looked at the dowry list carefully, and said: "Looking at it, it seems that the dowry is more than three times that of when Princess Jingshun came out."
Zhu'er echoed: "Our sixth princess is Princess Gu Lun, so it should be thicker." Then he handed a list to Wen Xi, "The master asked the slave to list [-]% of your family property, and the slave didn't seem to be few."
Wen Xi took a closer look, and found land, restaurants, pawnshops, teahouses...everything, but these things cannot be placed in the open, but they are still necessary.Although Kangxi gave a lot of things, except for gold and silver, everything else was fixed assets and could not be moved. Although Huangzhuang had income every year, it was a steady stream of water.Yuludai is about to get married, and what can be used every year, except for the income from Huangzhuang, is only the annual salary. Princess Gulun’s salary is equivalent to that of the prince: the annual salary is 1 taels of silver, and the salary is 1 hu, which seems to be a lot. In fact, the income on the surface is definitely not enough, and the things Wen Xi gave are hens that can lay golden eggs.
In the afternoon, people from the manufacturing office brought Yulu Dai a wedding auspicious crown, which was extremely dazzling and luxurious: three layers of gold carved on the top, decorated with ten pearls, each peacock decorated with seven pearls, 39 pearls, and stone knots decorated with east pearls. Pearl three, the hanging sash is golden yellow, just looking at it makes you feel golden.Compared with Princess Heshuo's auspicious crown, it is much more luxurious. I remember that the first few Heshuo princesses who got married were only auspicious crowns with two layers of gold carved on the top, decorated with nine oriental beads, and each peacock was decorated with six oriental beads.
Wen Xi rubbed her temples, she was a little dizzy from seeing too much.
Zhu'er said softly: "The rest of the concubine's make-up, master will look at it tomorrow, you are pregnant with a little elder brother, it's hard work."
"Yuludai's marriage has really bothered Chengfei." Wen Xi smiled, then pointed to Caijiguan, and said, "I'm afraid Yuludai will wait and see, you can send this to her." , and make him happy."
Zhu'er hastily responded, and said: "Two days ago, the peacock on the top was a little crooked, this time it's rested, it's really good, the princess will be satisfied after seeing it."
As for her auspicious wedding dress and auspicious crown, Yu Ludai was naturally a bit critical, as it was only once in her life, she was naturally very concerned about it.
Wen Xi instructed again: "Show her the dowry list as well, and ask her to come and thank the mothers and concubines who added make-up, so as not to lose courtesy."
"Master, don't worry!" Zhu'er personally supported Wen Xi, "I will make arrangements for you, you have nothing more important than your little elder brother! Master, drink a bowl of bird's nest, and take a nap first."
The daughter is getting married, so Wen Xi, the mother, should be more worried. Although she is only a concubine who handles affairs very well, she can't help but take care of Yu Ludai more.
The seventh day of April in the 40th year of Kangxi was an extremely fine day. Qin Tian Jianyan said that it was a very auspicious day for getting married.
Yu Ludai put on the auspicious costume and auspicious crown of Princess Gulun, which she hoped to be the same. At the age of 17, it was the most dazzling season. After marrying her only daughter, Wenxi was relieved, but couldn't help worrying about her The days after marriage.Although this year of getting married, Wen Xi tried her best to restrain her and told her to learn that, and the days to come are up to her. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
