Chapter 16 The wedding is coming
Taishi's residence.
After leaving the palace, Wen Haoxuan returned to the mansion. Recalling what the student said at the poetry meeting during the day, Wen Haoxuan quickly asked the housekeeper to invite the young lady to come, saying that he had something important to ask.
The housekeeper nodded in response, and then went to the backyard of Wenqingyuan.
At this time, Wen Qingyuan was sitting in front of the window with his hands on his chin, his eyes looking blankly into the distance.
When she returned to the mansion, the figure of Chu Mo kept popping up in her mind. For some reason, she felt inexplicably comfortable after spending a short time with Chu Mo. This feeling was just like when she traveled in Liangzhou, that man in white clothes
The feeling that youth brings to her is the same.
"Well, Qingyuan, Qingyuan, what are you thinking about? How can this person today be the same person back then..."
Wen Qingyuan shook his head, with a bitter smile on his face.
"Miss. Master asked Miss to go to the study."
At this moment, the butler's voice came from outside the door.
Hearing this, Wen Qingyuan hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, looked at the housekeeper outside the door and said, "Grandpa housekeeper, is there anything wrong with dad looking for me so late?"
The housekeeper smiled and shook his head: "Miss, I don't know what the master wants to do with the miss. But the master is still waiting in the study, so the miss should hurry up."
Wen Qingyuan nodded, turned around, closed the door and left the courtyard.
Not long after, Wen Qingyuan came to the study.
"Dad, why are you looking for me so late?"
Wen Qingyuan walked up behind Wen Haoxuan and pinched his shoulders.
Wen Haoxuan got straight to the point: "Qingyuan, I heard some students said that you know the poet who wrote the poem?"
After hearing this, Chu Mo's figure appeared in her mind again.
"Dad, my daughter and the young master just met by chance. How come they know each other? My daughter only knows that the young master's surname is Chu, and the young master has not disclosed the rest of the information."
When Wen Haoxuan heard this, he nodded slightly disappointedly. It seemed that it was a little difficult to think of the poet.
"By the way, you should try not to go out during the recent period. Someone from the Ministry of Etiquette came to the house just now and said that His Majesty has chosen your marriage to the Prince of Beiliang. During this time, you should prepare well."
When Wen Qingyuan heard this, she was stunned. If her father hadn't mentioned it now, she would have forgotten about it. Now that she heard that the Ministry of Etiquette had chosen a wedding date, Wen Qingyuan was unprepared.
Furthermore, she and Chu Mo had never even met, and Chu Mo's reputation in other people's mouths made Wen Qingyuan very resistant to this marriage, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"Dad, I don't want to marry Chu Mo."
Although she knew this was impossible, Wen Qingyuan still couldn't help but say it.
Hearing Wen Qingyuan's words, Wen Haoxuan sighed helplessly: "Qingyuan, this is a marriage granted by His Majesty himself. Even if his father is a grand master, he has to obey the emperor's order. Tomorrow, the Minister of Rites will come with your Majesty's imperial edict.
When you get to the mansion, you can rest early tonight..."
After saying that, Wen Haoxuan stood up, glanced at Wen Qingyuan, and slowly left the study.
In Wen Haoxuan's heart, how could he be willing to let Qingyuan marry Chu Mo, but as a minister, the emperor's order was difficult to handle, and this was not only because of the emperor's order, but also for the sake of their entire Taishi Mansion.
The next morning.
It was just dawn when the people from the Ministry of Rites came to the Grand Master's Mansion with Li Deyi's imperial edict. At the same time, Chu Mo also welcomed two other officials from the Ministry of Rites to the Prince of Beiliang's Mansion.
Today's Beiliang Prince's Mansion is no longer as deserted as it was a few days ago. After the notice calling for servants and maids was posted, Beiliang Prince's Mansion welcomed many people to apply for jobs.
Although the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion has ceased to exist in name only, no matter what, Chu Mo is still the crown prince of the Northern Liang Prince. This status is beyond the reach of many people.
The servants in the mansion learned that their eldest son was getting married soon. Before dawn, these servants got busy. Under the operation of these servants, the Beiliang Prince's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and red lanterns everywhere, showing the joy.
In the backyard of the palace, in the study.
Chu Mo was wearing a white gown and stood before committing the crime. At this time, he was holding an inkstone in his hands irregularly, with an inkstone in front of him, his face was calm, and he was writing quickly on the white paper.
"Nine qi rely on wind and thunder, and thousands of horses are silent. I can't help but urge God to cheer up and surrender without hesitation!"
Behind him, Yu Zixuan stood with his hands behind his hands. Looking at Chu Mo's calligraphy, he couldn't help but sigh: "Young Master's calligraphy is even more shocking."
Chu Mo smiled lightly.
"It's been more than ten years, and I haven't felt such a festive atmosphere today for a long time." Chu Mo said lightly.
When Yu Zixuan heard this, he remained silent.
Chu Mo continued to write hard, and soon, a poem appeared in Yu Zixuan's eyes.
Looking at the poems on the white paper, Yu Zixuan couldn't help but feel moved.
Chu Mo looked at the poem and was stunned for a while. After a long time, he sighed, put down his hands, and slowly raised his head.
"Is there any news from Wushuang and the others?"
Chu Mo asked subconsciously.
"Last night Wushuang and Tianyi sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Minister of War's Mansion respectively, but neither of them found anything unusual. Young Master, do you suspect that the incident on New Year's Eve is related to Cai Jing and Zhai Xinrong?"
Yu Zixuan spoke curiously.
"Even if it has nothing to do with them, they are at least close relatives. Especially Cai Jing, it was he who proposed the idea of a good relationship back then. If you say he is innocent, I won't believe it."
"There is also Zhai Xinrong. Ten years ago, Zhai Xinrong was just a small official in the Ministry of War. But in the past ten years, his position in the Ministry of War has been increasing day by day. Although he is now the minister, as far as I know,
Even the Minister of the Ministry of War has to grovel in front of him. If there is no one behind him to support him, it cannot be justified."
After hearing Chu Mo's words, Yu Zixuan stopped making a sound. If there is really a problem between these two families, I believe that with the abilities of Wushuang and Tianyi, they should be able to investigate something.
"Okay, these things are still my guesses for now. Yes or no, we don't need to pay much attention now. Now, in addition to Cai Jing and Zhai Xinrong, what we need to pay more attention to is Li Qian. Last time, he did not hesitate to
I sent several fifth-level masters here, and this time I told him not to come to the stage in front of so many people. With his nature, I'm afraid he won't give up easily."
"Let's go out and see how the decorations are outside. It won't be long before the people from the Ministry of Etiquette will arrive."
