Chapter 54 Mrs. Gaoming
Sheng Hong was a little moved when he heard this, but he quickly shook his head and said: "Mo'er is also my daughter. How could I let her marry Ru Lan without her name?" "Nothing at all."
"Master, I know that you feel sorry for Mo'er, but this matter is related to the future of the Sheng family. Mo'er is a member of the Sheng family. After enjoying the wealth of the Sheng family, he will naturally want to do something for Sheng. Family sacrifice." Lin Xiaoniang said sincerely.
"There is no need to say any more about this matter. Ru Lan is still young and still has plasticity. Let her mother train her for a few years and she should be able to change her temper." Sheng Hong said with a determined expression.
Forget it if his legitimate daughter enters the palace, if he marries a concubine, others will talk about him behind his back.
Sheng Hong was a very respectable person and was unwilling to agree to Lin Xiaoniang's proposal.
Lin Xiaoniang opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing.
Anyway, there is still time. When Sheng Hong understands that rotten wood cannot be carved, he will naturally consider her proposal.
......
Zhao Xing didn't know what happened to the Sheng family. He packed up his things that morning, and under the protection of Cao Qin, left the palace and headed for the Zhu family.
Today is my cousin Zhu Jingyu’s big day.
When they arrived at Zhu's house, Zhu Shiquan and Sun had already led their children and were waiting at the door to greet them.
In addition, there were many guests, who crowded the door of Zhu’s house.
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhao Xing came out of the carriage and everyone saluted in unison.
"No gift."
Zhao Xing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle, today is my cousin's big day, and I am here to send you a congratulatory gift."
The accompanying palace maid, He came forward holding trays with various exquisite jewelry placed on them.
These jewelry are made by craftsmen in the imperial palace.
Not only is the craftsmanship superb, but its pattern and style can only be used by nobles in the palace.
Only those who are rewarded by the palace can wear them. It is against the rules to make them privately.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Highness!"
Zhu Shiquan thanked him with a smile on his face, and had someone pick him up and invite Zhao Xing to the hospital.
"My cousin has already gone to welcome the bride?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Go back to Your Highness and set off early in the morning." Zhu Shiquan said.
The time for ancient people to visit the church to get married was at dusk, but they always set off early in the morning to welcome brides.
In order to show the grandness and excitement, they will make a big circle and arrive at the bride's house near noon. After picking up the bride, they will make another big circle and arrive home near dusk to complete the wedding.
Zhao Xing nodded and followed his uncle to the main hall.
I sat in the main seat and chatted with him for a while, and left shortly before noon.
The wedding of the eldest son of the Zhu family was very lively, and almost all the prominent families in Bianjing would come.
The staff was messy, and as the prince, Zhao Xing naturally found it inconvenient to stay on such an occasion.
If Zhu Shiquan hadn't been his uncle, he would have sent someone to give him a gift, which would have been enough to show his favor.
After being tricked by Zhao Xing before, no one dared to continue giving gifts to Zhu Shiquan. Today, he finally had such a legitimate excuse to give gifts. Many people prepared very expensive gifts.
Zhu Shiquan was so happy that he never closed his mouth all day long.
The next day when the new daughter-in-law was serving tea, a servant hurried in.
"My lord, someone from the palace has just announced that an angel will come to deliver the message soon, please."
Zhu Shiquan had just received the gift from his daughter-in-law, and was telling them to live in harmony as husband and wife and to open up branches for the Zhu family as soon as possible.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a servant who hurried in.
"What?"
Zhu Shiquan was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he ordered his servants to prepare the incense table, and then led the whole family to welcome him out. After waiting at the door for a while, a group of forbidden soldiers came over guarding a carriage.
After a while, the carriage stopped at the door, and a middle-aged eunuch got off the carriage, followed by a young eunuch holding a brocade box.
"You are admonishing the doctor Zhu Shiquan and his family to welcome the angel." Zhu Shiquan saluted.
"Master Zhu is so polite."
The eunuch who passed the order was very polite to Zhu Shiquan. After all, he was the prince's uncle.
After chatting for a while, the eunuch was welcomed in. The incense table was already set up in the middle courtyard.
The eunuch did not delay. After the Zhu family stood up, he read out the imperial edict.
The content of the imperial edict is very simple, which is to confer the fifth-class title to the daughter-in-law of Zhu's parents, Fang, also known as the Imperial Lady.
Mrs. Gaoming is divided into grades one to nine, with grade one being the highest and grade nine being the lowest.
The so-called imperial wife does not actually have any actual rights, it is just an honor with a salary.
The ancients often said that the wife in the shadow of the wife refers to the imperial edict.
According to common sense, the mothers and wives of officials of fifth rank and above are eligible for imperial titles.
However, in order to show the preciousness of imperial edicts, there are generally only first and second grade officials. Those who have reached the highest grade can be directly sealed, and the rest require a certain amount of credit.
The Sun family had already been granted the title of fourth-class concubine before, and now the Zhu family's eldest daughter-in-law has just entered the house and has also been consecrated, which shows her favor.
Zhu Shiquan thanked him happily, gave the official who passed the order some money, and sent him away.
After entering the house, he said: "Madam, you will give me a gift soon and take your daughter-in-law to the palace tomorrow to thank you."
Mrs. Gaoming naturally has more than just honor.
During festivals and festivals, Mrs. Gaoming can attend any banquet in the palace.
In addition, they can directly submit a request to the queen for an audience, and go into the palace to chat with the queen about household matters.
People who don’t have a royal decree don’t even have this qualification.
After receiving the imperial edict, according to the rules, one must enter the palace to express gratitude.
"I understand, I will write Zazi soon." Mrs. Sun nodded.
The family returned to the main hall, continued to complete the tea ceremony, and then went to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and record the Fang family in the genealogy before returning to the main hall for dinner.
After the meal, Zhu Shiquan and Sun went directly to the backyard.
After entering the house, Zhu Shiquan sent the servants away and said: "If the palace allows you to enter the palace tomorrow, after entering the palace to visit the eldest lady, don't forget to take your daughter-in-law to visit your sister. ”
"If the official didn't remind me, I would have known about it," said Sun.
"When you meet your sister, let's mention Sister Zi's marriage to her by the way." Zhu Shiquan reminded.
"Official, are you still determined to give up?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Sun said anxiously: "The official and the queen have already decided on several concubines for His Royal Highness, if that's what you want. She has spoken a long time ago. Although the queen is the biological mother of the prince, the prince has been adopted in the name of the eldest queen. She has no say in the matter of the prince. Why should the officials cause trouble to the queen? "
"I'm not talking about His Royal Highness, but the only son of Duke Qi." Zhu Shiquan said.
"The only son of the Duke of Qi?"
Sun was stunned when he heard this and said: "The Duke of Qi and his wife are just an only son, what kind of baby are they? That little prince is not like other noble children at all. Determined to take the imperial examination and become an official. Many princes in Bianjing are interested in marrying the Qi family, but Princess Pingning has not agreed. Can they be interested in our sister Zi? "
"We will definitely not do it. But if His Highness the Crown Prince opens his mouth, the Qi family will definitely agree," Zhu Shiquan said confidently.
The daughter-in-law was born in a prince's palace. If the daughter remarries into the palace, and with the status of the prince's uncle, the Zhu family will also be one of the first-class families in Bianjing.
