Marriage

In the small flower hall facing the street on the second floor of Yulou, Liang Jinzheng was having a drink with his friends, and a table of exquisite delicacies, not like eating, but like finely carved emeralds and white jade.

Xiao Er put down a plate of steamed shrimps in the middle of the three-person table: "This is the eagle caught shrimps just shipped from Dengzhou." She said flatteringly: "The shopkeeper specially ordered the young masters to try something new!"

Liang Jin didn't pay much attention, his eyes were looking at the long street coming and going downstairs, it was spring, and the big capital was prosperous again, all the stalls came out, wearing patched thin jackets to sell.There are also more and more carriages, and a few maids and servants are surrounded by a cart. Maybe the family members of some poor official are going to the temple to offer incense.

With a blink of an eye, I saw two shadows rushing from the street to this side in the crowd. The one in front was wearing a yellow embroidered robe with two hair ties flying: "Yue Feng! Here!" Liang Jin shouted down his head .

The three people on the table were wondering, they only listened to the hurried footsteps stepping on the stairs, and walked to the front in two or three steps.

Yu Yuefeng sat down on the stool, didn't care about elegance, wiped the sweat on his face with his cuffs, panting with his hands on his knees, Yu Yueyang quickly handed him a glass of water: "Yuefeng, but father is going to take me ?”

"No...not..." Yu Yuefeng waved his hands, still breathing, "Liang Jin...Liang..."

Liang Jin became anxious after hearing his words: "How about me?"

When the few people hesitated, Yu Yuefeng raised his glass and took another sip of water: "Be safe and be safe, it's Liang Jin's business." He raised his eyes to Liang Jin, with a hesitant look on his face: "Today my father came down to court and called me Go, tell me something, it's about you."

Liang Jin was disturbed after hearing this, and sat down beside Yu Yuefeng, looking at him eagerly.

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, but...it's not a good thing either. Your father won't beat you anyway." Yu Yuefeng showed a look of embarrassment, and he simply gritted his teeth: "Father said, today the court, Mrs. Master Master sincerely advised the Holy Majesty, saying that his deacon and Ping Zhang have been responsible for four years, and that the Holy Majesty is about to reach the age of weak crown, so he should get married as soon as possible and choose a virtuous queen for Dayan."

This is nothing new, the current Holy Majesty is about the same age as them, and he has reached the age of marriage.

Yu Yuefeng continued: "Actually, you all know that this is a cliché. Among the people recommended by the Manchu Dynasty, the eldest daughter of Wei Guogong's niece, the empress dowager's niece, is the most suitable, but the Holy One just doesn't like this Miss Wei, and has been evading it until now." .”

He swallowed his saliva: "Today, the government and the public put pressure on the government, and the Holy One seemed to be unable to shirk it, so he agreed, saying that it would be a few days later, and then a big marriage was agreed... But the Holy One was not happy, so he said that the Grand Master is the first son of the grand master. The eldest grandson is as old as him, and we should also discuss the matter of marriage, so he ordered that the fourth son of the concubine of He Taizhong should be given to you as his wife."

After Yu Yuefeng finished speaking, the three of them were all dumbfounded. Liang Jin's eyes were bulging, and two beads seemed to roll out: "What! What what? I heard that right? The fourth son of the concubine of Mr. He Taizhong and Mr. He! Give me your wife!?"

"You heard it right, you heard it right..." Yu Yuefeng took another sip of tea: "The old grand master immediately knelt down in the court hall, and said that the eldest grandson is a man, and the fourth son of Mr. He's family is also a man. To be husband and wife?"

"However, the Holy Majesty said that the laws of this dynasty, since Emperor Taizong, men and men can also be husband and wife, but instead asked the old grand master, is he not familiar with the laws of this dynasty? The grand master dared not say any more. Dare to say it again."

According to the law of the current dynasty, men and men can also be married. This is why Taizong rewarded General Bai who joined the army at Yuluoguan with him. After ascending the throne, he asked General Bai what kind of reward he wanted. General Bai only said that he would not be granted a title, but that he would spend his life with Feng Canjun, thinking of his outstanding achievements. Above, there is no restriction on the distinction between men and women.

Hearing this, Liang Jin is already in a dream. Although the law allows it, there are several families in this world who are married to male wives. A man who redeems his body for a male servant, let alone a marriage?Not to mention officials and eunuchs, even ordinary people and merchants have never heard of it.

"The Holy Majesty also said that you should marry the fourth son of the He family with the usual ceremony of marrying a wife. In the future, the grandchildren of Liang's parents will be like marrying a woman. I disobeyed the emperor's order..." Yu Yuefeng talked a lot, his mouth was dry from exhaustion.

At the side, Fu Cheng sighed quietly: "Brother Liang, this is the end of the matter, fate is hard to change, it seems that you and I have no chance to get married..."

Fu Cheng has a younger sister who is a direct relative. The Liang family and the Fu family wanted to marry each other. Originally, the two adults discussed and said that after the holy marriage, the Liang family would come to propose a marriage.

Liang Jin was stunned for a moment, and hurried back to the house with the servant, wanting to ask for clarification, but he wobbled in the carriage along the way, his brains were about to come out, but he didn't want to understand why it was so good, suddenly he was about to Marry a man and wife?

The Liang mansion was also in chaos. Mr. Liang surrounded the old lady, coaxing from left to right. The old lady covered her face with a handkerchief, and said with tears in her eyes, "You old man! What's the use? You can't even decide the marriage of your own eldest grandson!"

"What do you know, woman? This is a decree from the sage, how dare you disrespect it?" The old grand master understands it with reason and emotion: "The first emperor made a will when he passed away, and sent me to be an official of the same order. And let my son be promoted to be a third-rank Yinqing Guanglu doctor, the late emperor treated me well, and I have to be loyal to my son, and to Dayan!"

There was no maid in the hall, so the old lady was unscrupulous: "You have given away Jin'er's lifelong affairs because of your loyalty?" She took a tea bowl and threw it out: "Don't think I don't know, it's because you, a bad old man, forced the emperor Marriage will implicate Jin'er!"

The reason is that it doesn't make sense, anyway, crying and fussing, things have to be done, so the old master put his heart down and hid out of the mansion like a turtle.

In the courtyard here, Liang Hao and Li Shi looked at each other, they had nothing to say, Li Shi was reasonable, he didn't play tricks or cry, but after all, he was his own son, how could she not feel distressed?Frowning a pair of slender eyebrows: "write a letter first and report to my father and mother."

"That's the reason." Liang Hao glanced at her, cautiously: "I heard that my father-in-law was transferred to Luoyang, and he will take the whole family to take up the post in a few months. When the father-in-law's birthday comes, I will take you back. have a look?"

Hearing that he was able to visit his parents, Li's brows gradually relaxed: "Thank you, master, for thinking of me. When the time comes, I will take Jin'er there too, just to make a living for his grandfather."

She has been like this since she got married, always polite and dignified, very lady-like, but with a sense of alienation, Liang Hao always feels that she is not here to marry, but to take office, but for more than ten or twenty years, she is also It's all here.

The two were talking, only to hear a young maid who was in full bloom report: "Master, Madam, the young master is back and is coming to the courtyard." After speaking, she nodded and stepped aside.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li looked at the door, and heard a burst of vigorous footsteps coming to the hall: "Baby, please greet your father and mother!" Tangtang: "Father, my son heard that the Holy Majesty proposed a marriage for me, is this really true?!"

Liang Haozheng was distracted, and his face sank: "You still have the face to ask me, why is it that you are hanging out all day, and the Holy One is dissatisfied after hearing about it, so you personally bestow the marriage."

"But father, what kind of marriage does this refer to?" Liang Jin walked up to Liang Hao, and asked angrily, "What kind of wife did you marry! How will your son save face in the future?"

Seeing his rudeness, Liang Hao picked up the teacup on the case table and threw it to the ground angrily: "Bold! Dare to question the wiseness of the Holy Majesty!" After speaking, he looked at Li's face and sighed: "Jin'er, the Holy Majesty has bestowed a good fate on you!" , you cannot disobey it. I discussed with your grandfather, after the fourth son of the He family enters the door, you have to feed him with good food and drink, and don't cause trouble."

Liang Jin was taken aback by his father's fall, and thought, "Fucking good match"!He pouted, but didn't dare to speak out.

The Holy Majesty is the king of a country, the emperor bestowed a marriage, there is no room for it, now it is a foregone conclusion, there is no chance of turning around, Liang Jin accepted his fate, stopped talking, and stood aside with his head bowed.

Seeing that he was frustrated, Mrs. Li took his hand and muttered: "My son understands the truth, we should focus on the overall situation..."

Liang Hao waved his hand again: "Go down, there is still more than a month to go before the wedding, and the elders will take care of the marriage. You only read your book, so that you can prepare for next autumn." I wanted to reprimand this incompetent son again In other words, he thought about letting him marry a marriage that made the whole Beijing a joke, so he gave up, and just asked him to go back to his private courtyard.

Seeing that he was unable to recover, Liang Jin bowed and took his leave.Exit the flower hall, walk out of the compound, walk along the corridor to the garden, pass through the mountains and rivers, and this is his yard.

The little maids were just cooking the soup, when they saw Liang Hao stepping into the yard, they bowed their heads in salute.As if Liang Jinfang didn't see it, he just walked back into the room, and two more maidservants came over to untie his sachet.

Liang Jin was distracted for a while, waved his hand and retreated from the maids, and sat on the table by himself in a daze...

"Father, my son has advised Jin'er to study hard and wait for the wedding date. I have already ordered to prepare for the wedding ceremony." Liang Hao came to greet the old master early in the morning: "Now I am here to invite my father to enter the court with my son." .”

"When it comes to the big wedding, you must advise Hao Jin'er not to make trouble. I know I have wronged him, but the emperor's order is hard to disobey. I only hope that from now on, he will follow the rules, cultivate himself, cultivate his character, and study well." Hao walked out of the courtyard together.

The candle was still burning in the lantern on the porch, and the dim light shone on the old grand master. He walked with his hands behind his back, and Liang Hao followed behind to listen to his admonition: "I am old, and the Holy Majesty has grown up too... You were born to be honest. Not alert enough in the court, among the children in the family, only Jin'er can bear the burden, you have to teach him well."

"Did father think that the Holy Majesty's marriage proposal for Jin'er is to suppress our Liang family?"

"Your Majesty is a wise king, but it is inevitable that you have a childish heart. I think it is mainly because of my repeated admonitions. The Majesty knows that this is the case, and he doesn't like us veterans being restrained by him everywhere, so he deliberately revenged on our Liang family. " The old grand master stroked his beard and sat in the carriage: "The Holy Majesty is getting bigger and has his own opinions, and I don't like the chatteriness of my subjects..."

"Father's point is that the child must be cautious in his words and deeds in the future."

Liang Jin couldn't sleep all night, and sat up from the bed in a daze, feeling a little headache.The girl outside heard the movement, and hurried into Ba Bu's bed, raised the curtains and hung them on both sides.

"Yunshang, what time is it?" Liang Jin frowned and asked with vacant eyes.

The maid named Yunshang chuckled: "It's already time, the young master got up late today, and the lady saw that the young master hadn't gotten up yet, so she specially asked the kitchen to bring breakfast for the young master."

"Don't eat, tidy up and go say hello to the old lady and mother." While talking, a maid led several little maids with water and face towels in, and served Liang Jin to wash her face and mouth.The servant girl helped Liang Jin to the make-up table again and waited for him to comb his hair.Because Liang Jin had not yet reached the age of weak crown, she did not wear a crown, but only wore her hair in a bun, tied it with a ribbon and tied it on top of her head.

"Young Master, you didn't sleep well last night? Look at your eyes, you can't keep your eyes open." The servant girl stood behind her, wearing a crimson skirt with a pointed point under the skirt, and a pair of light yellow shoes embroidered with emerald leaves. , she combed Liang Jin's hair slowly with a silver comb, and looked at Liang Jin in the mirror with a peachy smile.

Liang Jin sighed in annoyance: "I originally wanted to marry you a virtuous and virtuous young lady, but now things are backfired, how can I sleep soundly?"

This maid is called Hua Nong. Since she was 15 years old, she was given to Liang Jin by the eldest wife Li Shi as a housemaid. She has been with him for two years, and Liang Jin treats her well on weekdays.

When she heard about Liang Jin's marriage, she was also a little worried.In the past, there was no hostess in this yard, and she said that she was the same. Now the young master is going to marry the young lady, and the young lady is still a man. She was a little nervous, not knowing how to serve the young lady: "Don't worry, young master. You are all worried, and the servants will have no backbone, and the young lady will come in next month, and I don't know if I can get along well..." While speaking, she frowned, looking a little more worried than Liang Jin.

Liang Jin patted her lightly: "What are you afraid of? He's just a man from a concubine. What does he know about inner affairs! I don't care about you."

"Young Madam Xin is also your son. Naturally, she is much better at reading and knowing etiquette than us servants. Why don't you care about it?"

"Young master!" Liang Jin threw a hairpin on the case: "I don't know the details of their He family?"
