Chapter 328 Prince Chu
At the beginning of the New Year, Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan took Luo Mingxin to visit their relatives and say goodbye to them one by one. After all, they were leaving for Tartar in the first month. They could still see each other, but Luo Mingxin might not come back to Chu State.
Taking advantage of this Chinese New Year, all relatives and people with whom they had good contacts chose the twelfth day of the first lunar month to come to the Jin Palace together to add makeup to Luo Mingxin. Chen Xiuyan specially prepared a banquet and invited a theater troupe to come, directly on a special indoor stage.
, not cold at all, and exuding the fragrance of tea and flowers, making people happy both physically and mentally.
Today, in addition to the brilliant performance by the troupe, the banquet was also amazing. Grandma Miao prepared many new dishes and developed many new pastries. The rich lady packed up the pastries and took them away.
After sending the people away, Chen Xiuyan re-checked and added Luo Mingxin's dowry booklet. Yes, it was a booklet. Luo Mingxin's dowry was not enough space to write in just one list. A folded booklet was needed to add everything in it.
In addition to the dowry list, the most important thing is the dowry. Having useful people around her can save a lot of effort, but there are too few people around her, let alone skilled people. Here is a brief list: Huahe and Huaxi sisters are from Yi
Those who followed Jiang County had the deepest feelings.
Chu Wenqian had mentioned the matter of the Hua family to the third prince once before. When the emperor was in office, it was impossible for the Hua family to clear up their grievances. It would be a slap in the emperor's face, so he could only wait for the next successor to take the throne.
It turns out that the Hua family is not a high-ranking family in the capital. If Chu Wenqian had not come forward to say it, the third prince would not have taken it to heart. Now that they can get such a guarantee, it is the best result for the Hua family sisters.
.
The two sisters from the Hua family were very grateful for this result, and they both volunteered to follow Luo Mingxin to Tartar. A few days ago, when Luo Mingxin followed her to learn Tatar, the two sisters also worked hard to learn it. Although they were not fluent yet, they listened.
It's understandable.
The Hua sisters were at their personal service, and Yin Yue was the secret protector. However, one secret guard was not enough. Chen Xiuyan discussed with Chu Wenqian and planned to give Yin Yu to Luo Mingxin as well. One was good at kung fu, and the other was good at inquiring and specialized in the art.
Chen Xiuyan, the stewardess, was in a bit of trouble. Although the emperor had given many palace officials as dowries when he conferred Luo Mingxin as the Lord of Wenshui County, and the deeds of these people were also given, there was still a layer of separation. Although these days,
We get along well, but we still can't understand people's hearts. The grandma in charge must be the best in her own right.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a reply came from Taiyuan Mansion, and many people came with it. They were the dowry Xi Muqin had prepared for Luo Mingxin, including the steward.
Luo Mingxin recognized the housekeeper at a glance. Xi Muqin specially allocated it to her when she was in Prince Jin's Mansion in Taiyuan. She was Xi Muqin's daughter who was married to the housekeeper, and now she has become a housekeeper who can take charge of her own role.
"I have been studying Chinese in Pianguan County these days. When I returned to Taiyuan Mansion a few years ago, I paid my respects to Lord Wenshui." The steward's surname is Zheng. She is the daughter of Aunt Xi who is beside Xi Muqin. She is twenty-six this year.
, Chen Xiuyan also had an impression of her.
"Aunt Zheng, get up quickly." Luo Mingxin smiled and asked someone to get up, and asked Aunt Zheng to go and rest first, and then let her come when all the dowry people were gone. From now on, she would have to take care of the matters in her yard.
"Slave, please obey."
Chen Xiuyan, the person chosen by Xi Muqin, was very relieved. Suddenly, there were enough people to accompany the family. However, Luo Mingxin still had to decide the specific seats. Chen Xiuyan just wrote down all the people.
Seeing Luo Mingxin arranging the staff appropriately, pointing out the monthly schedule, etc., Chen Xiuyan suddenly felt as if there was a newly grown girl in our family.
After the dowry and dowry were all decided, Chen Xiuyan began to read the letter sent from Taiyuan Prefecture.
Xi Muqin wrote it herself, and straight to the point, she said that they agreed to the marriage between Prince An and Yuan Lianyi, and asked Chen Xiuyan to help arrange the marriage. Even the betrothal tokens were brought, which were a pair of pendants, all green.
The top jadeite is in the shape of one on the left and one on the right. When separated, it is a magpie on the left and a plum blossom on the right. Together, it is a magpie ascending the plum blossom.
For Pei Chen Xiuyan, just put it in the box and take it to Yuanfu together.
Princess Duan Ning led Chen Xiuyan directly to the courtyard of Mrs. Yuan. Of course, the marriage of the eldest daughter of the Yuan family had to be decided by Mrs. Yuan herself.
The elder lady and Princess Duan Ning were very satisfied with the engagement token sent by Prince Jin's Mansion. Only then did Chen Xiuyan realize that the pair of pendants were the engagement token for Prince Jin and Princess Jin.
King Jin and Princess Jin have a good story. Not only that, the relationship between Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan is also the most admired and envied in the capital. I think Prince An is not as good as his father and brother as a member of King Jin's palace.
But with such a family around, Yuan Lianyi's life will definitely go smoothly.
The Yuan family received the betrothal token. After the Lantern Festival, Yuan Shangshu took his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law into the palace to meet the saint. Also accompanying him was the prince-consort of Princess Duan Ning’s mansion, who was Princess Duan Ning’s biological father.
Although she had passed away, her benefactor still remembered her, so the marriage was quickly approved.
After passing the Ming Road in front of the Holy Lord, Chen Xiuyan took the birth date of Prince An to the Yuan Mansion the next day to join Geng. The good meaning of a match made in heaven soon came out, and then the capital knew that Prince An was engaged to Yuan Mansion's legitimate daughter Yuan Lianyi
’s matter.
After finishing the ceremony, Chen Xiuyan relaxed and began to look at the luggage that she had prepared. With Luo Mingxin's dowry, it would be a huge team.
On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, the Imperial Palace of Jin received an imperial edict, and the emperor granted Luo Mingxin the title of Lord of Wenshui County.
Of course, this matter made no waves at all after the emperor conferred the title of prince on the throne that morning.
Chen Xiuyan received the imperial edict in the morning and only learned the news that the crown prince was confirmed after finishing her work. Without any surprise, the candidate was the third prince.
In order to make the third prince's name legitimate, the third prince was directly recorded in the name of the queen and became the legitimate son. He established the legitimate son rather than the elder, and established the virtuous prince as the prince. Now the three princes are all in compliance.
There was no news before this news. It was a sudden sap and knocked many people unconscious.
The eldest prince didn't have the heart, nor the ability and support, so he was the calmest. The second prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince didn't tense up when they were in the court. Not only them, the courtiers were also fooled, but the third prince
One group of people reacted quickly and kowtowed directly to shout long live the wise man.
When Empress Dowager Wei received the news, she was so shocked that she broke her favorite phoenix jade ornament in her hand.
The capital may become uneasy.
However, Chen Xiuyan and the others felt that they were the most aloof from the incident, because they were about to leave for Tatar. Ge Shumu of Tatar led a team to welcome the bride, and King Taiping of Chu led a team to escort them.
But before leaving, Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan went to Tianxiang Tower again. This time King Taiping and Chu Wenqian were not in the capital. There were fewer manpower around the third prince. It was obvious that the faction was headed by the Cui family.
