Chapter 33 Marriage Grant

"Give them a chance..." Zhu Carpenter was not a fool, and immediately understood what Zhang Yan meant, "You mean to ask me to give them a decree to marry them?"

Zhang Yan nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise."

Later, Zhang Yan said with a warm face: "Princess Mu has been a widow for many years, and it is not easy to come to terms with it. It is rare to meet Master Yue and she is in love with her. It's just because of her reputation as a widow that the two of them can't be happy with each other.

Your Majesty, you have also seen that this is not just a case of being impeached after staying in Taifu Yue's house for a few days, which shows how hard it is for the princess. Your Majesty should understand the information handed over by the Duke of Guizhou last time. If the emperor

I think the Duke of Guizhou will also be extremely grateful to Your Majesty for being able to satisfy the Princess and Tutor Yue."

It depends on how people say it. Originally, everyone was taking advantage of the emperor's affection for Yue Su and wanted to "force" him to grant a marriage. But when it came out of Zhang Yan's mouth, it had a different meaning.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, feeling deeply justified, and said: "What Ai Qing said is absolutely true. The Duke of Guizhou has guarded the border for our Zhu family for generations and has made great contributions. It doesn't matter if I help him with this small matter."

Then, he shouted loudly: "Come here, pass Liu Mingguo!"

"Sir, Eunuch Liu has come to convey the order and is waiting for you in the lobby of Shuntian Mansion."

In Yue Su's duty room at the Criminal Department Yamen. Yue Su was processing official documents when Li Haoquan suddenly ran over. After entering, he brought such news to Yue Su.

The cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies knew about Yue Su's involvement, and some rumors spread about it. However, I don't know whether these people were intentional or not, and none of them told Taifu Yue.

Upon hearing that the imperial edict was coming, Yue Su quickly stood up and was about to move out when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Liu Mingguo is also a well-informed master. He clearly knows that he will work in the Ministry of Justice now, so how can he go to Shuntian Mansion to deliver the order. Normally, even if he went to Shuntian Mansion and did not find him, he would never wait there, but

He will rush to the Ministry of Justice immediately. What kind of wind is blowing today? Liu Mingguo even ran to Shuntian Mansion to wait for him.

However, Yue Su would not doubt the authenticity of the imperial edict carried by Liu Mingguo, and in Beijing, no one would dare to deceive him with false edicts. Confused, Yue Su hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Prepare the sedan chair and return the favor.

Tianfu!"

Rushing back to Shuntian Mansion, Yin Zhu and his people were waiting at the door to meet Yue Su. After Yue Su got off the sedan, Yin Zhu came forward and said: "Sir, Eunuch Liu is sitting in the main hall now, and Master Yang is there with him. The incense table has been set up, so let's go

Waiting for the Lord to come back to receive the order. The Han general who accompanied Eunuch Liu to deliver the order was holding the woman's clothes and hats in his hands. I don't know what they are for."

Yang Yishan has now been promoted to an official in Shuntian Prefecture, so Yin Zhu and the others no longer call him Mr. Yang, but instead call him "Sir."

"Oh?" Yue Su became curious again, but no matter how curious he was, he couldn't figure out what was going on. He could only get the result by going in to receive the order. "Let's go in and receive the order."

Yue Su led people into the government office and went straight to the lobby. When they got to the lobby, they saw Liu Mingguo and Yang Yishan sitting in the lobby. Behind Liu Mingguo, there were four Han generals standing, holding women's clothes and hats in their hands.

When Liu Mingguo and Yang Yishan saw Yue Su entering the door, they both stood up immediately. Yang Yishan bowed and saluted and called "mentor". Liu Mingguo took a few steps to come to Yue Su and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mrs. Yue."

Fu, Taifu He Xiyue."

Although the Crown Prince and the Grand Tutor are not of the same rank, their titles are the same and they are both called the Grand Tutor. However, Mr. Jin Yong’s The Deer and the Cauldron shows that Ao was not able to worship the Prince Shaobao, so he was still called Ao Shaobao.

Yue Su also laughed and said: "Eunuch Liu, where do you start talking about this? I wonder where the joy comes from?"

"Taifu Yue, you will know after you receive the order." Liu Mingguo deliberately made a mistake.

"Well, the incense case is now on the table, let's hear Eunuch Liu announce the decree." Yue Su said.

"Don't worry, this decree is not for Taifu Yue alone. We also need to invite his wife to come out. By the way, I heard that the princess of the Duke of Guizhou and a daughter of the Li family are in the house. I think it is better to invite them out together.

." Liu Minguo said with a smile on his face.

"This..." It was reasonable to ask his wife and Princess Mu to come out to receive the order together. Maybe there was something wrong, but why did he ask Li Qiongying to come out? How did the emperor know about this.

However, Yue Su understood that since Liu Mingguo said so, there must be content in the imperial edict involving them. It was useless for him to ask now, or to ask someone to call out to receive the edict.

Yue Su turned around and said: "Tie Qiu, please go to the back house and ask Madam, Princess Mu and Miss Li to come over."

Tie Qiu behind him also didn't know what was going on, so he could only follow Yue Su's instructions and quickly go to the back house.

After Tie Qiu left, Yue Su looked at Liu Mingguo again and said, "Eunuch Liu, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd today?"

"Taifu Yue, the gourd is in my hands, but this 'medicine' is indeed prepared by the emperor. You don't have to worry. When your ladyship and the others arrive, I will naturally reveal the mystery." Liu Mingguo was still trying to be mysterious.

.

"Okay, let's go over and sit down." Yue Su made a gesture of invitation and went with Liu Minguo to sit down.

Yue Su's men looked at each other, everyone was trying to figure out what would happen. But judging from the posture and the tone of speaking to Eunuch Liu, it must be a good thing.

A servant brought tea. Yue Su and Liu Minguo drank tea and waited. After a while, Tie Qiu, Ruan Aoyue, Li Qiongying, and Mu Tianjiao walked past the Nuan Pavilion and came to the main hall.

It seemed that the three female family members were present. Liu Minguo stood up again, took a step forward, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mrs. Yue, Princess Mu, and Miss Li..."

The three women were all stunned. In terms of identity, it was Mu Tianjiao. She asked doubtfully: "Father, I wonder what kind of joy this county has?"

"You will know after a while."

As Liu Minguo spoke, he took out the imperial edict from his arms and said loudly: "The Crown Prince and Tutor, the Minister of Punishment Yue Su and his wife Ruan Aoyue, the Princess Mu Tianjiao of the Duke of Guizhou, and the Miss Li Qiongying of the Li family will receive the edict!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"...

As soon as Liu Minguo shouted to accept the order, Yue Su and others immediately stepped forward and knelt down. He naturally knelt at the front, followed by Ruan Aoyue and the three daughters, and behind them Yang Yishan and others.

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict says: The prince and tutor, Yue Su, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, are loyal to the country and often share my worries. They are actually my ministers in the Ming Dynasty. His wife, Ruan, is a virtuous and virtuous person, manages the household well, and assists her husband.

, it reassures me, and I specially decree to confer Ruan Aoyue as the third-grade imperial concubine. Mu Tianjiao, the princess of the Duke of Guizhou, lost her husband at a young age, and stayed alone in the empty house to keep her chastity. My heart is very sad, and now I hear that she is in love with Yue Su.

They have close contacts, and although they are fair and honest, it is inevitable that they will be suspected of being under the melon field and plum blossoms, and they will be criticized by others. In order to protect the reputation of the princess, I specially decree that Yue Su and Mu Tianjiao will marry, and Mu Tianjiao will become Yue Su's second wife. Li

Li Qiongying, the daughter of the family, heard that she has a close friendship with Yue Su, and she always lives in Yue Su's mansion. Qiong Yan will eventually marry a lady. If things go on like this, how will their reputation survive? Therefore, I also marry Yue Su and Li Qiong Ying to become husband and wife.

Li Qiongying is Yue Su’s third wife. I appreciate this!"

"Your Majesty Yue Su accepts the decree. Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

"Thank you Lord for your kindness, long live my emperor!"...

After hearing this decree, everyone had different moods. For Yue Su, he didn't want to marry from the bottom of his heart, but it was difficult to violate the holy will, and it would be impossible not to accept the decree. Besides, what the imperial decree said was also true, Princess

You and Li Qiongying live in your house, under the melon fields and plums, what will you do to others in the future? In this era, women value reputation the most. To put it bluntly, if the woman doesn’t show off on the wedding night, she will be beaten on the spot.

It is possible to die, and there is no place to complain.

In this case, Yue Su had no choice but to admit it.

Mu Tianjiao and Li Qiongying were the happiest. After listening to the imperial edict, they both felt flying clouds blowing in their faces, and their hearts were beating nervously. Now that they finally got what they wanted, who could be unhappy? Li Qiongying was able to keep the clouds clear and see the moon.

Ming, Mu Tianjiao knows her identity, and even if she loves Yue Su, she can't open her mouth. Now the emperor has decreed that she just has a step, and she can marry Yue Su with peace of mind, uprightly, and not living up to the truth.

Ruan Aoyue was actually very unhappy. That woman would not be jealous. Normally, the two of them lived in her own house because they had no formal status, and Yue Su was also clean and self-sufficient, so they could live together as sisters. But now, they were assigned to Yue Su inexplicably.

, what's the point of not even saying hello. But this is the emperor's decree, and no one can do anything but accept her fate. Fortunately, the emperor also thought about her, recognized her status as the eldest wife, and also

I gave a third-grade imperial concubine as compensation. No matter how much I don’t like her, no matter how unwilling I am, I have to endure it.

In fact, Zhu Carpenter did not expect this title of third-grade imperial decree at all. It was Zhang Yan who knew how to be a good person and thought more about giving suggestions to the emperor. Otherwise, it would have been a special marriage edict.

With Yue Su's subordinates, everyone had long thought that he and Li Qiongying would be together, but they didn't expect that they would be together like this, with the emperor decreeing a marriage. What an honor this is, everyone is following Yue Su,

Mr. Yue's face was bright, and of course the big guy was also excited.

Liu Minguo walked up to Yue Su, and Yue Su held out his hands and accepted the decree. Then, Liu Minguo helped Yue Su up and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Taifu Yue, I will definitely wait until the day of Taifu Yue's wedding.

I want you to enjoy a glass of wedding wine."

"That's natural, that's natural." After Yue Su got up, he laughed heartily.

At this moment, Liu Mingguo raised his hands to the three women behind Yue Su and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mrs. Yue, congratulations to Princess Mu, and congratulations to Miss Li."

"Thank you, father-in-law."......

Mu Tianjiao showed the most elegant demeanor among everyone. She moved lightly on her lotus steps and walked to Yue Su's side. She said, "My father-in-law has come to deliver the message. A mere gift is not respectful. I hope my father-in-law will accept it with a smile."

With that said, he took out two pieces of gold leaves from his sleeves and stuffed them into Liu Mingguo's hands.

Mu Tianjiao deserved to be rewarded for such a happy event. If Liu Mingguo refused to accept it, he would be disrespectful. With a smile on his face, he said, "Thank you so much, Princess. That little one is enjoying the joy, but it would be disrespectful to refuse."

Li Qiongying, who was behind, could see clearly and thought that she should also give a reward. Besides, her family was not short of money, and her pocket money was filled with boxes of gold. She took out a small bag of gold leaves from her sleeve, without even counting them.

He walked forward and put it directly into Liu Minggao's hand. He also imitated Mu Tianjiao's tone and said, "My father-in-law has come to deliver the message. A mere courtesy is not a sign of respect. I hope that my father-in-law will resign."

Because I had a cold, I had a severe headache, so I didn’t write any words at night. I woke up at three o’clock, and when I remembered that there was no update, I couldn’t sleep anymore, so I hurriedly wrote a chapter and updated it first. There was no update on time at twelve o’clock, so I let the book

I'm really sorry for waiting for a while, and I hope you can forgive me.

Originally I wanted to eat up Lao Guo's reminder, but I didn't succeed. I would like to say sorry to Lao Guo again.
