Seeing Zhang Jia come in, Liu Runlin and Liu Haojia immediately led people to greet him. However, everyone present had sharp eyes and noticed that Zhang Jia's face seemed not to be good. However, everyone did not take it seriously and thought that he was busy during this period.
Because. After all, Emperor Wanli's wedding was not long ago, and there were really many things to deal with in the palace.
After Zhang Jia greeted everyone, he said loudly: "Long live the Lord's will, Gu Ningbo and Liu Runlin kneel down to accept it!"
After hearing Zhang Jia's words, someone immediately brought up the prepared incense case. Liu Runlin and his son knelt behind the incense case. Zhang Jia picked up the first imperial edict and began to recite loudly: "The Emperor of Heaven carries the emperor, and the edict says: Gu Ningbo of the Ming Dynasty
, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy, Liu Runlin, is an honest and upright official,...hereby comes to Gu Ninghou, hoping...to express his admiration for you!"
After Zhang Jia read the words, everyone murmured in envy. However, many people have already guessed this decree. After all, Liu Runlin is Liu Haojia's father. There is no reason why his son is a marquis and his father is just an earl! What's more, Liu Runlin is now in charge of the Royal Navy.
He is an important minister, and his identity needs to be shown. Now it is appropriate to take this opportunity to promote him to a marquis, and it is even a little late!
After Liu Runlin thanked Empress Wanli, he stood up and took the imperial edict with both hands and placed it on the incense table for worship. At this time, everyone came forward to congratulate Liu Runlin. Liu Runlin's face flushed with excitement and he kept thanking everyone.
At this time, Zhang Jia coughed, and everyone immediately dispersed in understanding, so that he could read the second imperial edict.
Sure enough, Zhang Jia opened the second imperial edict and said: "The emperor has been blessed by heaven and said:... Congratulations to Wu Ninghou on his wedding, and a special pair of jade Ruyi. I hope... to admire this!"
After hearing this decree, everyone fell silent in surprise. The entire hall was so silent that you could hear a pin drop! Because this decree was so unusual!
Normally speaking, if Liu Haojia, the Marquis, is newly married, his wife will definitely have an imperial edict to reward her. Even a concubine like Tan Cuiying will be given a title! But this edict is bare, only a pair of jade Ruyi, and the rest
Nothing!
Zhang Jia was also very uncomfortable facing this lifeless environment. When he was about to cough, Liu Haojia bowed three times to Zhang Jia with an unchanging expression, holding the imperial edict in his hand, and then stood up, respectfully took the edict and placed it on the incense table.
He raised his hand and said with a smile: "Zhang Banban, thank you for your hard work in delivering the message. I have reserved a seat for you, so you'd better hurry up and have a drink!"
Zhang Jia said with some embarrassment: "Our family will not drink this wine. There are too many things going on in the palace! Moreover, our family has to hurry up to restore Lord Long Live!"
The two people were polite to each other in the silence. Both Zhang Jia and Liu Haojia had calm faces, as if they were having a normal conversation! However, this situation was extremely weird in the eyes of everyone!
After the two briefly exchanged greetings, Zhang Jia took the people away directly. Liu Haojia turned around and said: "Come, please put the imperial edict away quickly and don't deface it!"
Then he turned around, laughed at the silent crowd and said: "Everyone, Long Live the Lord sent a congratulatory gift to me at my wedding, and also gave my father a promotion. This is a great happy event. It should be
Congratulations! Let us toast to the Long Live Lord!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone shouted in agreement! "Yes, we should celebrate!"
"That's right! The royal family also gives you face on the big day!"
"That's right! A dual-level student! This is unmatched by many people!"
As everyone agreed, the atmosphere became lively again. But everyone knew that this enthusiasm was just faked by everyone. It was full of embarrassment and doubts! Under such circumstances, the banquet could not last for long.
After a while, everyone found an excuse to leave.
After all the guests left, Liu Runlin finally put away his smile and turned red with anger! His wife also sat next to him and wiped her tears. Because today's scene was a huge humiliation for the Liu family! However, Liu Runlin had always been loyal to the emperor, so this
Instead, I asked him to say something and just kept rubbing his hands!
The master of the Liu family is already like this, and the servants below are even more silent, quietly cleaning up the mess, for fear of making a little noise and annoying the master!
At this time, Liu Haojia stepped forward without changing his expression and said: "Father, mother, I..."
He stepped forward to comfort his parents, but Liu Haonian, who was sitting next to Liu's father, couldn't help but said loudly: "Second brother, what is this decree? Is it possible that our Liu family is so sorry..."
At this time, Liu Haojia suddenly raised his hand to stop what he was saying, and said: "Brother, the thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness! As ministers, we only need to obey the royal arrangement!"
Liu Haonian wanted to speak, but Liu Runlin raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't say any more. The Liu family outside my door has been loyal to the emperor for generations. Don't say anything disrespectful!"
After that, Liu Runlin forced a smile and said to Liu Haojia: "Today is your special day. Go to the bridal chamber early. Don't make the bride wait too long! Besides, your mother drank a lot today, so she should go to bed early."
!”
Then Liu's father briefly explained something and then left. Liu's father and Liu's mother took Liu Haonian back to Gu Ningbo's house, but now it should be said to be Gu Ninghou's house! Liu Haojia said goodbye to everyone and walked to the backyard.
As soon as he entered the backyard, Liu Haojia's face darkened, because the people in the backyard were all carefully selected by him and were his absolute confidants. Anything that happened in the backyard would not be leaked. Only here would he truly open his heart!
He walked to the door of the bridal chamber and saw Cai Luan and Xiao Zhu guarding the door. No one else could even see a shadow. He thought they had been sent away. He reluctantly smiled at them and pushed the door open directly.
When he walked into the bridal chamber, he found that Zhang Peijia and Tan Cuiying had already lifted their headscarves and were walking toward him. Liu Haojia was stunned for a moment and then figured it out. Although they were in the bridal chamber in the backyard, there were
The maids are here, and the news in the front yard cannot be hidden from them!
The two of them must have longed for a title title! Especially Tan Cuiying! With the title title, not only will she be completely exempted from her lowly background, but even the charges against her ancestors will be revoked. This is very important for people living in the world.
It is a very important event for people in this era! And what happened today is obviously a big blow to them!
However, Zhang Peijia still came over with a forced smile and said: "Husband, don't worry, I think with my husband's ability, when he takes the official position in the future, Long live the Lord will definitely give him what he deserves!"
Tan Cuiying also said: "Master, you really don't have to worry, it's just a trivial matter and it won't have any impact on our Wuning Marquis!"
