Chapter 262 The final countdown to the big wedding [asking for a monthly ticket]
There is only one day left before the wedding, and it is impossible for Li Yuanxing to play mahjong.
The Ministry of Rites sent more than twenty officials, most of whom came to inspect the preparations for the wedding at Qin Wangzhuang. Only two people came specifically to explain the wedding process to Li Yuanxing.
The King of Qin is not an ordinary king. The wedding of the King of Qin is related to the dignity of the Tang Dynasty, and the people who come to watch the ceremony are not only the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, but also the common people of the Tang Dynasty and envoys from various countries.
It's annoying, but this is only once in life! Just bear with it!
At the same time, Li Er was sitting in the court hall, holding one hand on the imperial case and tapping his leg rhythmically with the other hand.
Fight, keep fighting, this topic is enough to fight for a year.
Suddenly, Li Er realized that he really admired Li Yuanxing. Even if you don't go to court, these people can quarrel for at least a month if you just come to the court.
The old topic has not yet yielded results, but the new topic can stimulate people's fighting spirit even more.
Why the noise.
Let’s talk about the old topic first. Craftsmen have levels, especially second-class craftsmen who are highly respected. This makes many low-level nobles feel the crisis. There are 980 officials in the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grades.
Eleven copies, they want justice, and there must be an explanation.
The second-class craftsman is equivalent to the eighth-class craftsman, which is fine.
However, there must be an explanation for the fact that second-class craftsmen are not nobles.
Li Er listened to their quarrel with great interest for more than ten days, and a new chapter from the Chief of the Palace of Qin came again.
The gentry hierarchy!
There are ranks, and there are ranks in themselves, but they are not refined. Who among the nobles does not know that the seventh-generation noble family is a first-class noble family, and the emerging nobles will at most define themselves as a third-class noble family.
There are also many people who were so poor during the war that they only had one noble title, which was naturally the ninth rank.
But the key point of the debate lies in the amount of annual taxes and donations for each level. You must know that the higher the level of the gentry, the larger the family, the bigger the business, and the larger the population.
The quarrel continued, and this time there were more people than last time, because many fifth-rank officials also joined in.
Li Er is very happy with this method of grading nobles. You should all work hard to become first-class nobles, so that the national treasury is guaranteed. As a royal family beyond the ninth rank, no one can change this.
of.
While the officials were arguing, a young eunuch poked his head at the door.
Eunuch Gao signaled the eunuch on duty to go over and inquire.
Soon, there was a reward, saying that Qin Wangzhuang had sent some gifts. It was said that His Highness gave them to the Supreme Emperor, His Majesty, and the Emperor's sister-in-law.
Gift, Qin Wangzhuang has a gift.
Li Er immediately asked him to carry it up. When he saw the gift burden, it turned out to be nine pieces of silk wrapped in burlap.
"Gift, Goro's gift will naturally not be vulgar! Open it and take a look!"
Eunuch Gao ran over and used a knife to open the top package of linen. He only glanced at it, but took two steps back. Then he rubbed his eyes, reached out and touched it carefully, but he didn't know how to report it.
Already.
It's like a piece of gold, a piece of pure gold sitting there.
No, Wulang will never send pure gold. Gold is a vulgar thing in Wulang's eyes.
Li Er personally walked down the steps, stretched out his hand to touch it, completely tore open the linen bag, and then shook out the silk in his hand.
"Come, please the queen." Li Er ordered, tearing open all the linen bags with his own hands.
You know, in ancient times, plant dyes were used, which originally only had five colors. And the colors were not that bright.
It can be said that truly gorgeous dyes are more expensive than gold.
The real development of plant dyes was after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which was a thousand years after the Tang Dynasty.
The nine pieces of silk sent by Qin Wangzhuang were made of the top-quality white silk from several major silk workshops, and then dyed with modern plant dyes, and a small amount of illuminant was added.
Gold and silver are two colors. If you don't touch it with your own hands, anyone will think that it is pure gold and pure silver.
The other seven are placed there like rainbows in the sky.
"Damn Wu Lang!" Li Er scolded with a smile: "Why didn't you send it earlier so that I could have time to make a piece of clothing for the throne?"
"Your Majesty, it's a good time for the New Year!" Changsun Wuji said casually from the side.
Li Er would not really scold Li Yuanxing, and Changsun Wuji would not persuade Li Er to calm down.
When Empress Changsun came in, the first thing she saw was that there seemed to be a rainbow above the main hall, with seven-color silk stretched out, how beautiful it was.
After seeing clearly that it was silk, Queen Changsun smiled.
"The queen looks at this silk, but it is excellent!" Li Er was very satisfied, especially the golden one, which became more and more noble the more he looked at it.
Empress Changsun smiled and said: "Who sent this thing? Go and ask if there are seven more copies of Qin Wangzhuang sent to the seven Qin Princesses!"
When Li Er heard this, he didn't even wait for the result of the inquiry and came back. He waved his hand: "Retreat from the court, retreat from the court!" Then he strode out, cursing as he walked: "Damn Wu Lang, this is that.
You are really a bastard for giving me a gift!"
Empress Changsun signaled to put the silks away while waiting for the question from the other side.
Soon, Eunuch Gao came back: "Yes, each of the seven Qin Princesses has seven horses!"
"No silver, or no purple?" Queen Changsun asked. "No purple!" Eunuch Gao replied in a low voice.
Empress Changsun waved her hand to signal Eunuch Gao to step aside, and then said to the maid next to her: "Pick some with good craftsmanship and carefulness. You must have a set of ready-made clothes that are outstanding before the New Year."
After saying that, Empress Changsun walked up to Gao Jian and said, "Originally this was a place to discuss state affairs, but Wu Lang is also my royal uncle. Don't ask for the dyeing method. Rare things are valuable."
"Yes!" Gao Jian knew clearly in his heart that he was being told here and there.
This is basically telling the Seventh Family not to be greedy and not to want to reach out for everything.
What no one expected was that a full-scale martial arts show was about to take place in the family's backyard.
Cui Yingying received seven pieces of silk. She was so surprised that she almost thought her eyes were dazzled. After confirming it again and again, she was ecstatic. She picked some green, orange and green colors and cut some to make a few small clothes for herself overnight. She wore Li Yuanxing's clothes.
Look, the rest was given to his mother. Some people are jealous, but they can't ask for it.
It was given to the biological mother before her daughter got married. Who would have the nerve to ask for such a thing?
The Cui family is peaceful, but the Li family in Longxi is not. Li Liyuan's mother died in childbirth when giving birth to her younger brother, so she has an older sister and a younger brother. This time everyone asked her to come over, but
Her biological father, however, had to come the day before the wedding because of the many affairs in the family.
I don’t know if something happened on the road, so I haven’t entered the door yet.
At this time, Li Liyuan was holding a Yin Heng Dao, her brother was holding a Zhan Dao, and her sister was holding a dagger.
There was no other reason. In front of them were more than thirty young girls, not only half-sisters, but also party sisters. A large group of Li's direct daughters.
"Li Liyuan, you have no conscience, who gave you the opportunity of Princess Qin in the first place. Now you have some good things, but you are not willing to share them with us sisters."
"Shut your stinky mouth. It was the old guy in your family who thought he was so noble and spoke ill of His Highness King Qin. Last night, you heard that old guy shouting regrets when he was drinking. You are talking nonsense here. My sister's
Thing, who dares to put any thought into it, be careful of the short knife in my hand!"
Li Liyuan's sister is already married, and she came back this time to give her sister a wedding.
"Give some of them out and marry them into Prince Qin's palace. If you don't have any treasures, sisters, grab them!" Someone took the lead in shouting.
Li Liyuan swung her sword and hit the man's head, cutting off a small tree.
The girls stepped back, but still did not give up.
The men of the Li family, including the head of the Li family in Longxi, were watching the fun. One of the middle-aged men said: "The silver color is really excellent. The value of such a horse will not be low, but I don't know how to prepare the dye!"
"
"For any horse here, Fanshang's price is more than 500 guan."
"I don't know!" A voice came from behind. Li, who had just returned from the court, said to an elder in the Ministry of Etiquette: "Above the court, there is golden silk that is as real as gold. After adding bright purple, seven pieces of silk
It looks like a rainbow. The asking price of five hundred guan is too stingy!"
Another voice pointed there: "The knife is being used! Do you want to go drink it?"
"Longxi Li family, whether male or female, must be able to mount a horse, draw a bow, and fight. Isn't this the case that blood has not yet been seen!"
The Li family in Longxi is a martial arts expert, but Li Liyuan's face is full of excitement. She doesn't care about this, she wants to establish her authority.
As for the Zheng family, Zheng Xiuyan cried bitterly while holding seven pieces of silk: "This is the first time His Highness rewards me, and you are going to steal my things. You bully me, bully me!"
The most generous one was Cui Yanyan of the Boling Cui family. She only took one look at it, picked up the scissors and cut off the red one by one foot: "divide it among the sisters." Someone advised: "Sister Yanyan, this is His Highness the King of Qin.
It’s a gift, why don’t you divide it among us?”
"There are seven horses here, and there are seven thousand horses in Qin Wangzhuang." Cui Yanyan responded with a smile, and then said: "And I heard that His Highness the King of Qin does not wear silk. The material used by Princess Mingyue's undergarment is that we
Unheard of, these are probably the worst-quality clothing materials in Qin Wangzhuang!"
Lu Qiuyu, Li Changying, and Wang Yuyan reacted calmly. What's the point of fighting at home? If you want to fight, you don't fight for this little silk. The silk in the Qin Wangzhuang will be given to the seven people who have more. This is face. This
These little things are just items that His Highness the King of Qin brought to them to give them more face at home. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
