To put it seriously, when a teacher passes away, it is not appropriate for the students under his lap to hold happy events.
Although there are no specific etiquette regulations for this, it should be avoided.
At first, Qi Yu thought so too.
However, the current situation is special. He has to use a stratagem to cover up the emperor's departure to Qiong. In such a situation, it is necessary to divert the attention of the world.
And the bizarre play that I staged, about having a happy event despite a funeral, can arouse the curiosity of the melon-eaters, so this kind of operation is very beneficial.
Moreover, my husband's old age was a sign of mourning, and he moved to Yongchuan to purchase his property. In this way, he basically had nothing to do with the capital.
If it's not part of a scene, how can it be embarrassing?
In this way, Qi Yu used his own reason to persuade Yu Yan.
Special moments, special treatment, there is no need to be bound by traditional restrictions. Whether you respect your teacher or not, you have your own conscience as a guide, so why should you care about the worldly view?
I have to say that his contrary approach is really eye-catching.
And it was effective immediately.
Early the next morning, the news that Qi Shaobao was going to marry Mrs. Wei Guo directly dominated today's headlines.
From the dignitaries to the peddlers and footmen, everyone stared with wide eyes and paid intense attention.
In private, they also started a theoretical debate on whether it was appropriate or not.
As a result, most people believe that Qi Shaobao's move lacks consideration and may damage his good reputation.
Queen Su also held this position.
Her intuition told her that with Qi Yu's intelligence, he would not do such an unconventional thing. Therefore, she had reason to suspect that there was something weird hidden in it.
Since it’s weird, it’s time to explore it.
So, she released all her hawks and dogs and secretly monitored every move of the Qi family. Even Wang Zhifan, who had originally planned to leave the city for business, was called back by her and paid attention to the Qi family instead.
The main reason why Su Liu paid so much attention to it was because Sun Qiaoyun, who he shouldn't have seen, was there.
After the operation, the queen felt more and more uneasy as she thought about it.
Slowly, she came up with the idea of getting rid of this girl. As long as she, the only witness, died, what she did would forever remain a mystery.
All that's missing now is time.
What disappointed Su Liu was that no valuable information was obtained during this investigation.
The Qi family's mansion was surrounded by a group of elite soldiers on three floors inside and three floors outside. It was so tight that even a fly couldn't fly in. How could we find out the truth?
Barely considered a gain, I only saw a figure that looked like Sun Qiaoyun from a distance, but nothing else.
Oh no!
It’s not that there’s nothing else at all, but it’s a bit irrelevant to the purpose.
For example, Qi Yu's wedding invitation. Speaking of this matter, there is still a puzzling flavor.
The betrothal gift Qi Yu gave to the Yin family was not as large as expected. In short, it was only a small wooden box about two feet long.
As for the commonly used silk and satin, not even half of it was available.
But what exactly is in the box?
No one knows!
Not to mention outsiders, even Qi Yu himself was kept in the dark about this matter.
This is probably what happened.
Since preparations are hasty and external factors are also taken into consideration, Qi Yu advocates being as frugal as possible. Except for the necessary scenery on the day of leaving the cabinet, other aspects are not important.
If you are too particular about it, you may not be able to fix it in a short time.
In view of this, Qi Yu purchased such an exquisite gift box and filled it with several hundred taels of silver, which was regarded as an explanation to Bai Mianshou.
He also wanted to take more, but he had nothing to offer and was short of money!
However, things took a turn for the worse.
After discovering this embarrassment, Qi Xiao was busy secretly using a trick to change the situation. Taking advantage of his father's inadvertent opportunity, he changed the snowflake silver inside into ingots of gold.
In this way, doesn’t my aunt look more respectable?
When Yin Jun opened it and looked at it, he was stunned.
This dead villager claims to be incorruptible, but he is clearly a corrupt official who has enriched his own pockets~~
Otherwise, where did these wealthy people come from?
However, when I looked at it carefully, it suddenly became clear again.
It is not difficult to see from the marks on it that all the gold came from the palace. If the guess is correct, it should be the batch that the emperor rewarded Qi Xiao.
You, a village man, went to borrow money from your own son?
Are you still shameless?
Seeing that the money had a bright future, Yin Jun accepted it with peace of mind.
Soon, the two families agreed on a good date for the wedding. Adhering to the principle of not delaying time, they settled on the day after tomorrow.
the day after tomorrow??
Yes!
Because tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony of the new king, and all Beijing officials of fourth rank or above must attend in formal attire. It seems that this is the only way to stagger the ceremony.
…
Due to time constraints, Qi Yu also started to get busy.
And cooperated with the emcee's instructions to do various pre-rehearsals.
Once, twice, three or four times, five times, six times, seven or eight times.
The emcee felt quite puzzled. Didn't Qi Shaobao already have a wife? Why did he still act like a baby and didn't understand anything?
As everyone knows, this wedding is their real first time.
No experience!
Taking advantage of the intermission, he began to think about various things.
Tomorrow, it is better to take a leave of absence from the Crown Prince on the grounds of physical discomfort to avoid the enthronement ceremony. I am a local official. Even if I do not attend in person, I will not violate the regulations of the Ministry of Etiquette. This so-called ceremony is just a ceremony.
It's just a formal image project, how can it be as important as your own wedding? Besides, if you don't go there, the pressure on the new couple will be less.
In addition to the above, you also need to think about the location where the wedding will be held.
The 'Emperor' is currently recuperating and resting in his own mansion, how can he make such a noise?
Therefore, we have to change places.
Isn’t the newly built and uninhabited Cabinet Office of the Prime Minister quite suitable?
It is high-end, spacious and bright, and is comparable to a five-star hotel.
A new house is only suitable for new people to live in~~
Well, that’s it!
I had just made a pot of rest tea when I heard someone outside the door asking to see me.
Oh, what a strange thing.
A banner saying 'No visitors' has been put up in front of my house, so why would anyone come to visit me?
Is it illiterate?
Just when he was about to resolutely say no, Huang Fei reminded him kindly: "Looking at the appearance of the person coming, it seems to be Wu Wanrong."
"Is it him?" Qi Yu smacked his lips when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Since it is an old friend who has arrived, how can we not see him? Quickly, invite him in."
After saying that, he whispered a few words to Huang Fei, as if he was explaining something.
After the arrangements were made, he sat in the hall and waited. Oh no, he should be waiting for his arrival.
After a while, old Wu, who was tired of life, walked in with a hypocritical face.
"Haha, I really didn't expect that my old friend from the past would actually sit in the high position of Shaobao. Wu is here to express his congratulations."
"Master Wu, you are so polite. Please sit down quickly!"
Wu Wanrong was surprised to see Qi Yu being so kind.
He shouldn't have his nose pointed upward, right?
Could it be that the sun comes out from the west?
Just as he was sighing, Qi Yu suddenly sighed and said, "Master Wu, you know that we are in the same boat now."
"Oh? How do you say this?" Wu Wanrong was suddenly stunned and asked.
Qi Yu put down his tea cup and said slowly: "As the saying goes, every emperor has his ministers, and every emperor kills his old ministers. Now that your majesty has enthroned the throne and the new emperor has ascended the throne, haven't you and I become the old ministers waiting to be killed?
From this point of view, we are both in exactly the same situation, so what else is this if we are not in the same boat?"
No wonder, no wonder!
You were so polite to me this time, it turned out to be due to the current situation!
Although they have different political opinions, it does not affect Wu Wanrong's recognition of this point of view.
The main reason he came here this time was to check on the situation of the Holy Emperor, and also to estimate his own future so that he could assess the situation later.
Although he is the current favorite, he may not have any weight in the eyes of the new king.
So, he rushed over with full heart.
At this moment, we must find out whether there is any possibility of ascending to the throne again.
