Chapter 2573 Fear before marriage
Chapter 417 Fear before marriage
After the food and wine were put on the table, Princess Jinyang arranged for them to be served, and the guests and hosts were seated separately.
It's raining heavily today, and the temperature is quite cool in autumn. The dishes on the table are all delicious, including seafood, and there is even a jar of Jiangnan rice wine. Several people are sitting across from each other, enjoying the delicious food, talking softly, and the rain is gurgling outside the window, which is quite relaxing. comfortable.
It's just that Princess Hengshan is still not in high spirits. From time to time she puts down her chopsticks and holds her chin in one hand, looking gloomy and sighing...
The princess has always been friendly to sisters. Seeing this situation, she was quite worried. She also put down her chopsticks, took Princess Hengshan's hand and comforted her: "Sister, don't be like this. If my father sees you in this situation, he will be worried about you for nothing."
Princess Hengshan simply leaned on her sister's shoulder, her little face wrinkled, and she said worriedly: "But who knows what Wei Shuyu's temperament is like? I have heard that not just one or two of my aunts and sisters were bullied by their husbands' families after they got married. , what should I do if Wei Shuyu is the same?"
"What are you talking about? If these words spread, it will inevitably make people think that our princess of the Li Tang royal family is spoiled and not a good match. Don't talk nonsense."
Princess Changle scolded her.
The great ancestor Li Yuan had extremely strong fertility and had many sons and daughters, and His Majesty Li Er also had many daughters. This resulted in the Tang princesses becoming a relatively large group. There were a lot of people, so it was inevitable that there would be a few unlucky ones among them. The married prince-in-law looked gentle and gentle, but secretly he had a bad temper. It was common for couples to quarrel and quarrel.
But who in the world doesn’t know that His Majesty Li Er is very protective of his shortcomings?
He was just a son, and he punished her from time to time, but he was extremely doting on his daughter. What prince-in-law would dare to bully the princess when he is full?
Princess Jinyang was chewing fish meat in her mouth and interjected: "Sister is right, don't just listen to the wind and rain. The most bad-tempered prince-in-law in Chang'an City is your brother-in-law, but look at him and Sister Gao Yang has been married for several years. How often have you seen Sister Gao Yang get angry?”
Fang Jun had a headache, so he put down his wine glass and said displeasedly: "Your Highness, are you praising me or scolding me?"
Princess Jinyang realized that she had made a mistake and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. She quickly poured food and wine for him and said coquettishly: "Of course it's a compliment. Who in Chang'an City doesn't know that my brother-in-law is a real gentleman? He is fraternal and generous to all his wives and concubines at home." , those ladies are all very envious.”
Fang Jun snorted and didn't argue with him.
Princess Changle glanced at Fang Jun with a smile on her face. Perhaps only in front of Si Zi, this stick that defied the sky and the earth could have such a helpless look...
But now she was most worried about Princess Hengshan's condition, and continued to persuade: "Although Wei Shuyu is a little older, it is precisely because of this that he has a mature temperament and is steady and able to know both cold and hot, and will not be impulsive or irritable. Furthermore, Yes, Wei Jia Jia Xueyuan Yuan, his father Wei Gong is a person who strictly prohibits rules and regulations, and Wei Shuyu will definitely be fine. You can just wait for your marriage and enjoy the happiness, not to mention that your brothers and sisters will never let you do it? Got bullied.”
Princess Jinyang interjected again: "Sister is right. If Wei Shuyu dares to bully you, you only need to tell Brother Six and he will obey you immediately!"
Li Min, the king of Shu, was the "devil king" among the royal family of Li and Tang Dynasties. He was the most generous one. His Majesty Li Er was angry when he made mistakes a few years ago and cursed him: "Beasts can be tamed after training; iron and stone can be tamed after being smelted and carved." , can be made into square and round utensils, and people like Li Min are worse than beasts of iron and stone!”
Such a guy who scares everyone who sees him is indeed the most powerful supporter for a sister in the family. If that sister is angry at her husband's house, she will definitely jump three feet high and knock on the door to give him...
Princess Changle glared at her angrily and snorted: "Your sixth brother is just imitating others. He regards certain people as role models."
Princess Jinyang glanced at Fang Jun with a smile, covered her lips and smiled.
Nowadays, Fang Jun has long become a legend in Chang'an City, and his deeds will be mentioned from time to time. When Fang Jun's eldest sister, Princess Han, and her husband, King of Han Li Yuanjia, returned home in anger, Fang Jun dared to knock on the door. , the horse trampled the Han Palace, so frightened that the dignified King of Han did not dare to return home, and ran into the palace overnight to ask for help from His Majesty Li Er...
Enjoying Princess Jinyang's food and wine and serving her attentively with peace of mind, Fang Jun said to Princess Changle: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Your Highness Hengshan's situation is probably due to 'pre-marriage phobia'. Let her calm down." , as long as it’s full, it’s useless for others to persuade you.”
Princess Changle wondered: "'Premarital phobia'? This term is quite novel. What does it mean?"
"Uh..."
Fang Jun thought for a while and explained: "As the name suggests, it is a certain kind of anxiety before marriage. When a woman is waiting in the boudoir, waiting to get married, and facing strangers, she will inevitably have some worries about her future parents-in-law. I can’t get along, and I worry that my future husband won’t be considerate enough. , I worry that I will no longer be able to play as much as I did when I was not married... The accumulation of worries will make the mood reach a certain degree of depression. However, this is not a big deal. It only takes a period of time to relieve it and it will heal without medicine. Don't Don’t worry.”
The situation of women in ancient and modern times is roughly the same when facing marriage. Even in ancient times, due to the constraints of etiquette and laws, the superiority of men to women, etc., the anxiety and worry in this regard were even greater.
At least in later generations, the couple couldn't get along for various reasons, and the worst case was that they parted ways. In ancient times, they almost got married once for a lifetime, and there was no room for "correction." After all, in this era, wanting to "reconcile" is not a simple matter. Easy thing...
Princess Jinyang was full of admiration: "Brother-in-law knows so much!"
Fang Jun chuckled: "Of course!"
My brother understands that things have transcended the limitations of time and space. How can your little mind imagine this?
Turning to Princess Hengshan, he said: "Recently, the Navy set aside a sea area in the Yuezhou Sea of Lingnan Road to fish for pearls together with the local county government. This was Hepu County in the pre-Qin Dynasty. The latest batch of southern pearls happened to be delivered to the mansion. I will give twenty to His Highness every day as a dowry as a token of my love.”
Princess Hengshan was not familiar with southern pearls and northern pearls. She just heard that Fang Jun said that he would give her twenty pearls as a dowry. She was immediately dissatisfied. She wrinkled her nose and said displeasedly: "Everyone says that my brother-in-law is the richest in the world. Who is it?" The material is so stingy? It’s just pearls. It’s not like I’ve never seen them before, but I only gave away twenty of them..."
Fang Jun touched his forehead with his hand and said speechlessly: "My Princess, that is the Pearl of the South! Yuezhou has been the place where pearls are produced since ancient times. The pearls produced are called 'South Pearls', which are dignified, firm, and round. Moist and iridescent, it is the top grade among pearls and has always been favored by princes and ministers. The output is rare and rarely seen. Throughout the ages, countless people have tried to obtain a southern pearl but failed. Each pearl has cost many people their efforts and lives. It is hard to obtain. Even the history books have records of "returning the pearl to Hepu". Allusion, twenty is not enough for you?”
Princess Hengshan then turned from anger to joy, her eyes brightened, and she asked hopefully: "Isn't that very valuable?"
Princess Changle on the side saw her sister looking like a "money obsessed" and felt a little embarrassed. She couldn't help but hit her and lectured her: "It's not just before? Nanzhu is not only used for decoration and luxury. Grind it into powder. It becomes pearl powder, It is cold in nature, sweet and salty in taste, and has the effects of soothing the mind and soul, nourishing the skin, clearing eyes and removing nebula, plugging ears and deafness, removing putrefaction and regenerating muscles. When applied with pearl powder, it can make people moisturized, beautiful and radiant, which is the best. A most precious thing.”
Fang Jun raised his thumb and praised: "Your Highness is still knowledgeable!"
The largest pearl on the crown of the Queen of Great Britain in later generations was the South Pearl produced in Yuezhou, that is, Hepu...
Princess Hengshan was young after all, so her worries came and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, her mood improved and the atmosphere at the table became more relaxed.
After a sumptuous meal, the maids removed all the leftovers and dishes, made a pot of tea and put it on the coffee table. Then they all left, leaving only a few nobles drinking tea and chatting, slowly eating. .
Princess Changle personally held the pot and poured a cup of tea for Fang Jun. After thinking for a while, she asked softly: "There must have been another strong wind and rain at the court meeting just now, right?"
She also didn't expect that so many things would happen after they said goodbye yesterday morning. She was once the daughter-in-law of Changsun's family, and she was also Changsun Wuji's niece. She understood Changsun Wuji's temperament better than others, so when she returned to the palace and heard that Changsun Huan was dead, she couldn't help but worry about Fang Jun. (End of chapter)
