After hunting geese all day long, he was finally pecked in the eye by a goose. Qin Dewei did not expect to be tricked by Xu Xiaodi here.
But Xu Miaoxuan also agreed with Xu Xiaodi's choice, so Qin Dewei had no choice but to endure it for now.
Then we started to prepare for Xu Xiaodi's marriage. As long as both parties are right, the marriage will be quick.
Xu Miaoxuan first moved into Teacher Zhang's home as a foster daughter. Teacher Zhang and his wife had no children, so they welcomed her.
In this way, the original Xu family house was reserved for Xu Miaojing, which was enough for Xu Miaojing to get married and start a family.
Then I painted the house and walls, repaired the doors, windows and beams, bought new furniture and a maid, and it was September.
At the same time, Qin Dewei also tidied up the house and courtyard of his residence in preparation for his wedding at the end of the year.
During the preparations for the two marriages, Qin Dewei did not go to work for a few days. Except for working at the palace station during the court meeting, he basically did not appear in official circles.
The handymen of the Hanlin Academy clean the Zhuangyuan Hall every day, but Qin Zhuangyuan has not been seen there for a few days.
But everyone in the Hanlin Academy, or rather in the imperial court, collectively ignored this.
Not even one of the Thirteen Censors, a specialty of the Ming Dynasty, came out to impeach the Qin Zhuangyuan's corpse-seated meal, and did not betray the emperor's kindness.
During this period, the 68-year-old former chief assistant Fei Hong arrived in the capital at the end of July. Then the chief assistant Li Shi retired as an ordinary bachelor, and Fei Hong entered the cabinet and re-entered the chief assistant position.
Qin Dewei, who had the favor of "recommending" Fei Hong, did not visit Fei Shoufu and never visited the Fei family.
The two Jinling scholars, Xu Gu and Chen Feng, who went to Nanjing to visit relatives, also returned to the capital.
They brought back detailed news that Mrs. Gu gave birth to a son in May. The son was named Qin Guozuo by his uncle Qin Xiang, which sounded very domineering.
Moreover, the two of them also brought back a large number of autographed letters, all written by relatives and friends in Nanjing, including "letters home" from Mrs. Gu and Wang Lianqing.
Qin Zhuangyuan couldn't help but sigh when he thought about the happy years in Nanjing.
But people who travel in officialdom have no choice but to do it themselves. I really have no time this year. I will wait until next year to find a way to ask for leave and go back.
While greeting a group of people from the same year, who were drinking for the Jinling couple, someone asked Qin Dewei why he didn't go to see Fei Shoufu.
Qin Dewei said generously: "I recommend Master Fei for state affairs, not for personal reasons. How can I use this to make friends?"
Everyone in the same year praised together: "Qin Banqiao is so noble and upright!"
After Xu Xiaodi's marriage was all prepared, Tao Laodao came forward to ask Shao Yuanjie, the national master, to count the good times and arrange the wedding on the right day.
Tao Laodao still has some money. As a successful person in the religious world and the host of one of the three palaces in the capital, his income is definitely not bad.
This time it was a "high marriage", and she was still a beloved little daughter, so the dowry was naturally prepared generously.
Xu Xiaodi, who grew up poor, is very satisfied. He has finally achieved financial freedom and no longer has to grovel to his brother-in-law for pocket money.
From then on, Xu Xiaodi became a man who started a family and started a household. He will be the head of the family from now on!
On the night of Xu Xiaodi's wedding ceremony, at Teacher Zhang's house, Xu Miaoxuan sat in the embroidery room and wiped her tears.
The eldest sister is like a mother, and at such times, there will always be inexplicable sadness.
Qin Dewei refrained from going to Xu Xiaodi's place next door to listen to the bad jokes in the corner, and stayed with Xu Miaoxuan who was in a low mood.
However, Qin Dewei's own mood is still very good. Selling Xu Xiaodi and successfully marrying the Tao family was his important plan.
This means that his plan for the future of personal power has finally settled on a key piece.
If you want to find a tool for the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, there are many in the whole court. If this one doesn't work, just change it. If it doesn't work, Qin Dewei can roll up his sleeves and come in person.
But in the future, Tao Laodao will be the only imperial advisor who can deceive Emperor Jiajing.
Moreover, no matter how powerful Qin Dewei is, he cannot personally act as a magic stick, so Tao Laodao is an irreplaceable chess piece.
Xu Miaoxuan sat on the bedside and felt sad for a while, wiping her tears several times, but no one came to comfort her.
She looked up and saw Qin Dewei sitting at the table, enjoying himself and drinking a small drink.
"What is Lang Jun thinking?" Xu Miaoxuan couldn't help but ask.
Sometimes she wonders, this man doesn't seem to know how to coax women, so how on earth can he attract bees and butterflies outside?
Qin Dewei has nothing he can't say to Xu Miaoxuan, except for women's issues.
"This year I have almost laid the foundation, and I am thinking about the next ten years. My initial plan is: three years of low profile, five years of improvement, and ten years of red robes!"
Xu Miaoxuan asked again: "What about ten years from now?"
Qin Dewei sighed and said: "Ten years from now, I'm afraid we won't have to fight in the north or south, but we will gain fame right away."
Xu Miaoxuan said in surprise: "How could your husband expect this?"
People who lived in the 14th year of Jiajing could not imagine the situation after the 26th year of Jiajing. The southern Japanese and northern captives fought for more than 20 years.
Qin Dewei said four sentences: "The sea defense is blocked, the smoke is everywhere, and the northern and southern capitals are both disturbed."
Xu Miaoxuan half understood what she said, but she liked a husband like this who always made people confused.
After Xu Xiaodi got married, that is, in October, Fei Shoufu did not die according to the original history.
I don't know what the reason was, maybe it was the butterfly effect. Qin Dewei felt relieved, at least the court could be stable for a while longer.
The one-year term of Zeng's father-in-law, the censor of Liaodong, has expired, and he is expected to return to Beijing soon.
This means that the wedding day is coming, and Qin Dewei does not want the court to become messy again and interfere with his energy.
By this time, the weather had begun to get cold. Qin Dewei went out of the city despite the cold wind and waited for others at the official reception pavilion on the roadside.
In this kind of weather, the only person who can trouble the Qin Zhuangyuan is the master of heaven and earth. Zeng's stepfather is returning to Beijing today.
For some unknown reason, Xu Miaoxuan also followed in the car, insisting on waiting together in the cold wind.
While the two were talking, they suddenly saw two horses galloping from the official road in the distance. They gradually stopped as they approached the official pavilion.
A rider wearing a hooded cloak lifted his hat, revealing a pretty red face, and greeted enthusiastically: "Scholar Qin! Bachelor Qin! I finally see you again!"
Wucao! Qin Dewei was surprised, my aunt, why did you show up on this occasion!
If this isn't Miss Li Shu and Miss Li who broke up half a year ago, who is she?
With his fiancée still standing next to him, Qin Dewei suddenly felt like a light was shining on his back. He weakly raised his hand and waved it in response to Miss Li's greeting.
Xu Miaoxuan took a few glances at this dashing beauty, and felt bitter in her heart. Where did she get this from?
This world is not peaceful, it is full of internal and external troubles.
My husband is right. The sea defenses are blocked and wars are everywhere. The northern and southern capitals are both disturbed.
Another knight, Mrs. Li's eldest brother Li Jing, got off his horse and said to Qin Dewei: "Brothers and sisters, we will stop at the front. Mr. Zeng is riding behind and will be here soon."
Qin Dewei was a little distracted, "Ah, let's wait together."
Mrs. Li also got off the horse, walked up to Qin Dewei, and asked a little aggrievedly: "Why did you sneak away without saying hello last time?"
