At present, the May 7th period of Yin's mother's funeral has passed, and now it is the coffin-laying stage.
After that, the coffin is carried back home and laid to rest.
After the memorial ceremony, Yin Jun told his sister that His Majesty had approved his Ding You, and he would be able to return to Yongchuan with the coffin in a few days.
Yin Tao stopped crying when he heard this and said worriedly: "With this move by the emperor, does it mean that you will not be reused?"
Yin Jun looked like he could take it up and let it go, and said smoothly: "At present, we should put filial piety first and official career second, why bother with these? Besides, His Majesty is a wise and wise king, and he has his own way of governing and employing people.
Mingjian, as a minister, I really don’t need to make any assumptions."
"Oh, I hope so." Yin Tao sighed softly and said.
"..."
After talking about things at home, Yin Jun thought about turning the topic to Qi Yu.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed the high bun on his sister's head. He was stunned and stopped talking again.
Just now, he always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't expect that the problem actually came here.
snort!!
You're such a village man, but you didn't even pay the bride price, so you took my sister!
If you really can't afford that money, it will look better than this if you have a little bit of fun!
Alas, there is not even a ceremony. Where can I, Yin Jun, put my face?
Yin Tao saw her brother looking at her hair closely and guessed what he was thinking.
She straightened her tone and explained, "Don't make random guesses. This is entirely my personal opinion and has nothing to do with him."
Yin Jun frowned when he heard this and said curiously: "In his letter, it was clearly discussed that there were three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts, but now why... they are all omitted? Are you really just thinking about the Yin family's face?"
"
"How do I do it, do you still need to worry about it?"
"I don't care about you, I'm just...just asking."
just asking?
Well, this is what a brother should be like!
After hearing this, Yin Tao finally put down her arrogance and said quietly: "Losing a mother is a funeral. The whole family mourns. There will be no celebrations within the anniversary and no wedding couplets within three years. Naturally, it is not appropriate to hold any happy events.
, that’s why I…”
oh, I get it.
This was a last resort and expedient move.
Think about it, if you wait for three years, your sister will have very little youth left. You really can’t delay her!
After thinking through this section, Yin Jun no longer bothered about the three matchmakers and six appointments.
However, he still tried his best to save his face and said: "Either this, when my period of observing filial piety is over, let that guy make up for the etiquette. Even if it's just a formality, he still has to show off."
that is!
I was still waiting for him to offer tea and call me uncle. If I didn't do it, wouldn't it be an advantage for him?
Wedding matters must be reorganized!
Seeing her brother's persistence, Yin Tao had no choice but to agree.
"Our Qi family is just a petty bourgeois family with enough food and clothing. We are full of freshness and lack of wealth. When that time comes, you must not open your mouth like a lion! The principle is to save when you can, and avoid extravagance and waste."
"This, this, okay!"
Yin Jun looked at his sister's pretty face and felt filled with emotion: Why do you feel that you have become an outsider?
…
Two days later.
Wu Wanrong, whose appearance had recovered somewhat, went into the palace to see the emperor.
But at this time, his face was still bruised and purple, and he looked a little scary.
Alas, I was really unlucky that day. I was hit in the nose by a sudden black punch. I was beaten like that second senior brother. How can I dare to face you with such a handsome appearance?
If I frighten His Majesty, I will commit the crime of disrespect for the royal family.
Therefore, you have to wait until the recovery is almost complete before you can enter the palace to see your husband.
However, he couldn't wait to return to Qi Yu Yiben, but he couldn't wait for the recovery time. In this case, he would take a middle value and leave after half recovery.
The reason why he was so impatient was because he had a good opportunity right now and he couldn't bear to miss it.
Have a good opportunity?
Yes!
Wu Wanrong believed that Yin Jun, who had always spoken for Qi Yu, was admitted to Ding You, and Lu Boxuan, the second minister of the cabinet who stood up for him, was ordered to go to Northern Xinjiang. If such a good opportunity was not slandered, he would probably regret it even in his intestines.
It's better to act than to think. Don't hesitate.
Meet you now!
It went well, and the emperor summoned him in the Yangxin Hall.
"Wu Aiqing, how did you get that face?"
"Uh... To answer your Majesty's question, Wei Chen accidentally knocked it on his head."
"That's it. I thought I was beaten by someone?"
"No! Really not!"
After the caring words, the emperor directly asked about the business, that is, the process and results of his trip to Nanyang.
Wu Wanrong first elaborated on Qi Xiaotong’s failure to return.
However, her absence did not affect the canonization ceremony. The final result was that Qi Yu thanked the emperor on behalf of his daughter and accepted the holy watch.
In other words, this matter was successfully completed.
"What, you said she hasn't returned yet?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Um...why?"
The emperor murmured something there, talking to himself, and at the same time began to spread the wings of his imagination.
Subconsciously, he set his sights on Sarawak and Java on the map.
This woman has been in love with this place for a long time. Could it be that she is addicted to killing people and that is why she never returns?
Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense!
Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but shudder.
We cannot wait any longer. When this fierce horse returns, we must put it on the bridle immediately. If it is delayed for a long time, its wild nature will become even more difficult to tame.
As for how to operate it, the emperor has already figured out feasible strategies.
He heard that the eldest son of the family of Liang Yingzhong, the chief minister of the cabinet, was only thirty-eight years old and was not yet married. There were also rumors that this son was extremely talented and well-groomed, which attracted many colleagues with daughters to come to talk to matchmakers.
In this case, why don't you just go with the flow and get him a marriage from the emperor, and then let Qi Xiaotong marry into the Liang family?
In this case, she would be out of Qi Yu's protection, and it would be impossible for her to stir up any big waves again.
Moreover, this move can also demonstrate the emperor's great favor and bring the relationship between the three parties closer to the emperor and his ministers.
Then, will Qi Yu refuse?
Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be!
After Qi Xiaotong accepted the royal canonization, she became a real member of the Li family. Why shouldn't the emperor grant marriage to a member of his family? And as an 'outsider', how could he stop Qi Yu?
From a purely theoretical point of view, this is indeed the case.
Well, that's it.
The emperor gave him a big thumbs up for his step-by-step approach and his foresight. His complacent look was almost comparable to that of an old monk at the wedding night.
"Everything is under control."
"good!"
When Wu Wanrong heard this, he became as big as two feet tall, and he was confused and said: What does the mastery that His Majesty said mean?
We can’t guess it!
The emperor muttered to himself for a long time before he finally came to his senses and asked seriously: "Has Wu Aiqing gained anything from Qi Yu's investigation?"
