Chapter 116 Undercurrent
Author: Holding Hairpin Star
Next, the Shi family was very busy. The second girl, Yuyao, was the eldest daughter of the second wife and a legitimate daughter. Although her husband's Youyang Fan family was far inferior to the royal family, they still had a place among merchants, so the dowry was natural.
Make it richer.
Yuyao is a sweet-tempered person who is not extravagant by nature, and always shirks Father Shi's wishes.
It was Ti Zhen who spoke from the side, "My father's heart is not only for you, but also for my second uncle's spirit in heaven. What's more, if the princess marries a younger sister, there will be no loss. If it is not rich enough, it will damage the face of the palace.
"
Yuyao is a smart man. In ancient times, the scholar-bureaucrat family has both prospered and suffered losses. Thinking that he not only represents the Shi family, but also represents the Jiyin Palace, it is hard to continue to shirk it. The eldest uncle and eldest sister will take care of it and wait for half a year.
Once the wedding dress is ready, the day of spring is the time to give the wedding away.
However, time always flies by like water. By the time Yuyao's wedding comes to the day of receiving the Cai, asking for the name, accepting the name, accepting the levy, and asking for the date, it will also be the day of the sacrifice ceremony at Futu Temple on November 15th. The whole Chang'an is solemn and solemn.
With the arrival of the festival, the number of street vendors has also been reduced by half, which inevitably adds to the atmosphere of peace.
Wen Xiu and Wen Yuan were looking forward to it. Although they had known each other since childhood, it was their first time to witness the Royal Sacrifice Festival, so they couldn't help but be a little excited.
Wen Yu, on the other hand, had all kinds of worries in his heart, and it was expected that he would be criticized. However, what made him depressed was still a knot in his mind from four years ago.
Ti Zhen saw the sad look on his brows and understood. Back then, Emperor Gaozu favored Deng Guifei and neglected the queen. He didn't give Wen Yu much love for his son. Then the death of Deng Guifei caused thousands of waves.
Emperor Gaozu treated the Huyan family just like Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty treated the Huo family in the past. He not only dismissed all the Huyan family's positions and guarded the northern border, but also did not let go of his sons who had the blood of the Huyan family.
She really didn't know what kind of inhuman treatment Wen Yu suffered during those years in the secret prison, but just looking at his seriously injured leg and the pain in his eyes, she knew that this past was too much to mention again.
She looked at the jeweled decorations outside and silently dropped the topic, "I heard that the soldiers at Beilu Pass have not even received their military supplies for this winter, and when everything is in desperate need, the emperor still spends money on such a place.
, It’s really not worth it. As long as the ancestors are in front of you, it’s fine. If you use money without restraint, it’s not enough for the ancestors.”
After hearing this, Wen Yu slowly raised his head and said, "Madam, you were reborn by mistake. If you were a man, you would be a good official who works diligently and loves the people."
The two of them got in a car, looked at the scenery, and talked and laughed all the way to the Buddha Temple.
This temple was originally built by the Wei Dynasty royal family. It refers to many places of interest in the north and south. It has the white walls and black tiles of the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the exotic customs of the ancient cities in the Western Regions.
There are palace rules on which ancestral hall to visit before entering the temple. The procession stopped in front of the Katsy gate. First came the emperor and queen, and then the concubines and princesses also got off the car one after another. After worshiping at Guanglie Hall, men and women were divided again.
After leaving the clan, the men went to worship Fuxi and the women went to worship Nuwa. Just as they were about to part ways, King Nanyang on the side greeted Wen Yu with narrowed eyes.
"There is still a mountainous road to walk before we reach Fuxi Palace. If King Jiyin doesn't mind, it would be great if we can go together."
Wen Yu still had a gentle face, "Brother, please come first." He winked at Ti Zhen again.
King Nanyang followed his gaze and saw a stunningly beautiful woman flirting with Wen Yu. He thought about the past and concluded that this person was the daughter of Shi, the wife of King Jiyin.
Suddenly his face became more polite, and he hurriedly asked someone to call his princess over, "This is the first time for my younger brother and sister to participate in such an important event. There are many things I don't understand. It's because King Ji Yin is worried. It's better to let my wife go with my younger brother and sister."
Even if I have a companion, King Jiyin can leave with peace of mind."
Originally, this kind of sacrificial ceremony was full of things, and the worldly ways were even more complicated. Now, being followed by a strange woman, Ti Zhen stood in a dilemma on the road, but for the sake of the grand plan, he smiled appropriately.
Princess Nanyang, with her triangular eyes and a shining face, stepped forward to take Ti Zhen's arm, and was particularly cordial, "I am of the same family, so I feel at ease. Besides, I look at my younger siblings very kindly, and I fall in love with her as soon as I see them."
After a good trip, the Nanyang King and his wife made him unhappy, so he could only put on a red face and sing along with the good show.
Nuwa Hall is located in the Xishan District of Futu Temple. It is a long way to the top. When I turned around and looked around, I saw the white walls and gray tiles nestled among the green pines and cypresses. The gradual green and the withered yellow of the surroundings seemed particularly out of place.
Wen Xiu held Ti Zhen on one side, while Wen Yuan lifted up her skirt at the back. Princess Nanyang was dressed in a soft, misty gauze, and when the breeze blew, it sent a gust of fragrance.
She raised her eyes and said, "I heard...that my younger siblings and King Jiyin met in Rouran?"
The gold garnet bracelet on Princess Nanyang's wrist was shining brightly, and her head of pearls reflected the new clothes. When she turned around, she knew that she had been dressing up for this trip for a long time.
Ti Zhen changed the subject and looked carefully at the material of her clothes with a smile, "Sister-in-law, this clothes is made of soft smoke this autumn. It is bright in color and smooth to the touch. It would take ten embroiderers from the south of the Yangtze River to weave for three months before they can be eaten.
A piece of material, it can be seen that His Highness the King of Nanyang cares about you, so he goes out of his way to make you happy."
Princess Nanyang's eyes were full of pride and she couldn't hide it. She touched her clothes with a smile and said, "My brothers and sisters are far-reaching. They are not like the beautiful lady He in our mansion. She was born as a merchant and can't even recognize the goods. She doesn't even talk to me on weekdays.
It’s my sister who makes me like her more and more the more I watch her.”
As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere became colder. Ti Zhen was also a merchant. Because of this relationship, there were many rumors saying that there was a house bird flying on the branches in the Shi family. Although Ti Zhen didn't pay attention to it, how many of them were there?
Do you feel proud to hear that you are being discussed a lot?
Ti Zhen's face was slightly condensed, and she slowly pursed her lower lip. Princess Nanyang also covered her mouth and nose in a hurry, with a look of embarrassment on her face, and she let out a small sigh, "The fate of a noble person is determined by the wisdom of the noble man. How can the He family be compared with his younger siblings? That's where he comes from.
In the same way, there are also distinctions between high and low, right?"
Ti Zhen just smiled and said, "How can I have such thoughts? Sister Wangfei is a real person, and I like her temper."
After hearing this, Princess Nanyang said "Amitabha". Now her husband is completely satisfied to win over King Jiyin. If something goes wrong for her here in Ti Zhen, even kowtow to apologize is not enough. Fortunately, this man looks shrewd but has a kind nature.
Tell yourself a story.
Just as he was about to hold his hand and continue the conversation, a female voice hurriedly came from behind and the sound of a piece of fabric was torn.
"I heard that the King of Nanyang gave a big hand to congratulate Princess Jiyin on her marriage. Now the princess's sister is here to accompany the husband, bowing her head like a businessman bitch to show her goodwill. It's so affectionate!"
Shun Huafeng took a look and saw that she was a round and round beauty. She had a sense of arrogance all over her body. Her pair of red and phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and she was indescribably charming and sharp.
The voice of Princess Nanyang is like the wind chimes in the November eaves. When I hear the gentle ringing in the wind, I say, "Hey, who do I think you are, Princess Shenjun!"
Since the former princess was killed in court and Liu Jian was demoted to Prince Shen, he officially married the daughter of Taishi Xun. With the support of the former empress and her mother's family, this Princess Shen has always been unruly and unruly.
Now that she has met Princess Nanyang, who is not getting along with her husband, she is even more unwilling to be convinced.
