imprinted you in my heart

Xing Boen arrived in Fandu two nights ago. Xing's mother knew that they were coming back, so she specially asked the servants in the house to prepare a lot of things, ranging from clothes and shoes to small snacks. They are owed outside, ready to make up for them, even Xing An is very happy.

When the two younger ones were at home before, Mrs. Xing'an always felt that they were noisy, but they couldn't help the two older ones like to be lively, and the daughter stayed there not long after returning from serving as the prince's attendant, so they never scolded them.

Later, her daughter went west with the army, although Xing An as a mother could not bear her daughter to go to the battlefield, but it was His Majesty's will, and the other five attendants also went with her, no one else said anything, how could she be the first bird, let alone she was still in the Ministry of War Shang Shu, knew that the situation was difficult at that time, and one more person would give more strength, not to mention that her daughter was full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm, even if she wanted to stop it, she couldn't stop it.

After the daughter left, the entire Xing House was full of sorrow, especially the two elders, who had trouble sleeping and eating. Fortunately, Liu Fei was there and accompanied the two elders every day, so that they survived those years. Fortunately, the daughter not only came back She did, and made military exploits, which made her quite gratified.

According to the usual practice, after the crown prince ascends the throne, the prince attendants will be awarded low-level official positions and stay in Fandu. At worst, they will be promoted to the fourth rank.If it weren't for such benefits, who would be scrambling to send their children to be servants?Xing An also had the same idea. Who knew that His Majesty not only played cards unreasonably, but also made strange tricks frequently.

It’s fine to let the servants go to the battlefield, and if they escape from death and earn military merits, they will only be awarded minor posts like county magistrates, even if they are small posts, they are still in some remote places. , She thought that her daughter would also feel unwilling and aggrieved by such an experience, but what she didn't expect was that not only did her daughter not feel unfair, but she also looked eager to make a big splash.

What she wanted to say finally got stuck in her throat, and she swallowed it. At that moment, she understood that her daughter's heart was on His Majesty's side, just like herself who had just been awarded a Jinshi back then. I want to do something for His Majesty loyally and for the people.

In such a situation, it would be useless to talk too much, and the relationship would be alienated instead. She had no choice but to put on a smile and put on an attitude of full support to send her daughter to take office. It has been more than three years since she left, and there was almost a separation between Yin and Yang. How did she and her partner know what happened? , I was almost scared to death, and I dare not tell the two elders at home until now.

Although His Majesty granted her daughter a two-month vacation and rewarded her with a lot of things, she still felt that the vacation was too short. Excluding the time spent on the road, she could stay at home for more than 20 days at most, which was really too short.

In more than three years, the Hua Dynasty has completely turned the crisis into peace, the world has become peaceful, the bustling capital is more prosperous than before, and it is cleaner than before. Her daughter has also been promoted from a small county magistrate to a military general. Many things have changed. She thought The daughter will also change and become a little more selfish, even a little bit.

The first thing my daughter thinks of when she gets home is to go to the palace to greet His Majesty. If they didn't use the excuse that the palace is busy with engagement matters, they might not be able to stop her.Facts proved that she thought too much, and her daughter was still the same, unchanged!

Looking at such a daughter is like seeing herself when she was young, and Xing An doesn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Xing Boen went to the palace early the next morning to pay his respects. Shi Min, who had already received the news, guessed that she would come, so he woke up early on purpose. It was almost morning before Xing Boen left.

It is true that the palace is busy with preparations for the engagement, but no matter how busy it is, Wen Yu is much more busy, and Wen Yu is more worried about it. Everyone was invited, so Xing Boen was asked to go back and make arrangements to bring him into the palace in the afternoon.

Seeing Wu Dong in a Taoist robe again, not only his temperament has changed, but also his whole person is quite quiet. If he hadn't known that Chi En is Wu Dong, and Xing Boen said a lot, Shi Min almost couldn't recognize him.

When leaving the palace, Chien never thought that she would return to the palace one day. Although she was honored by her master, she came back after all. At the beginning, she was worried that His Majesty was unwell. Also relieved.

Zhang Dao, the master of Chien, has a strong sense of immortality. He doesn't look like a person in his 90s or [-]s at all. With his otherworldly temperament, he really has a sense of sight of an outsider. In a good mood, Shi Min can pass the pass line at first sight.

Based on the information obtained, Daoist Zhang is still very qualified to be a Daoist, but as a doctor, he lacks the benevolence of a doctor and is a little arrogant, which gives Shi Min a feeling of superciliousness.

Shi Min's feeling was right. If he hadn't kept begging for grace and promised conditions, Daoist Zhang would not have come at all. In his eyes, nothing is more important than cultivating immortality, seeking Taoism and inheriting the legal system.

When they arrived at Yongshou Palace, Zhao Huan was basking in the sun in the yard, lying on a reclining chair and listening to the palace attendant talk about the preparations for the emperor's engagement.

To Shi Min's disappointment, after Zhang Daochang took the pulse, what he said was not much different from the director of the Tai Hospital. What made her gratified was that Zhang Daochang was nine times more likely to keep Grandma Huang alive for a year than the director of the Tai Hospital. There were a lot more on the fifth floor, so Shi Min asked them to stay in Yongshou Palace for the imperial grandmother to take care of her body.

Daoist Zhang was eighty or ninety years old with silver hair all over his head, and Chi En was once a palace attendant, he knew the rules of the palace better than anyone else, so Shi Min was very relieved.

Xing Boen did a good job in this matter. It happened that after the discussion between the mother and her, the chief envoy and a deputy envoy for posting had been appointed, and there was a deputy envoy for posting.

For this engagement, many ministers wrote secret letters asking for permission to congratulate Fandu. Zhao Huanying, Ma Guojin, Heyang, and Minghui also wrote, but they were all rejected by Shi Min. Not to mention the time spent going back and forth, the ministers would also rack their brains to prepare congratulatory gifts , when the time comes to buckle a hat of tribute, wouldn't it be a waste of money and people?And this is just an engagement, not a wedding.

After the canonization was completed, Zhao Chengfan served as the envoy to present the post, Wen Zhimian as the deputy envoy, and Xing Boen as the deputy envoy, and Xing Boen presented the ceremony book.The guard of honor and the drum band have already lined up, and the envoy will open the way at the moment of the order. The officials of the Ministry of Rites, gifts, and the imperial army followed behind the second envoy. Vigorously, accompanied by the last few rays of sunset glow, he went to Bufu happily.

And Bufu, which had been prepared long ago, was already in full swing, and an announcer would come to report the progress of the team every quarter of an hour.

"Announcement, we have just arrived at the corner of the street, and it won't take a while." The last annunciator ran back immediately after finishing the announcement loudly. When he was about to run to the corner, he happened to meet the guard of honor head-on, and he returned to the team in the blink of an eye. .

Grandmother, grandfather, Jiang Li, and Bu Lang were waiting outside the gate of Bufu, all dressed in red Yaji clothes. Cold, the servants behind stood one by one, and they were all wearing the same new red servant costumes.

Because Bu Qianxue is not yet a queen, but also a future queen, her identity is a bit embarrassing, so she doesn't have to show her face as usual, and the elders and relatives in the family are waiting outside the door to greet her. It should be Bu Wuchen, but she is no longer here, and Jiang Li couldn't control the situation, so grandma had no choice but to do it herself.

The sound of drum music is getting closer and closer, and the Forbidden Army outside the street where the team must pass is working hard to maintain order, so that the team can pass quickly. The emperor's engagement is rare in the Hua Dynasty, but anyone who has a little bit of movement in the busy city does not want to miss it, especially those who love the excitement Yes, I have already reserved seats in the teahouses and restaurants on both sides. Although I can't see the emperor, it is a lot of experience to see the gifts and ostentation of others.

The first guard of honor and the drum band did not stop at the main gate of Bufu. They continued to walk for a while before stopping and lined up on the right side of the gate of Bufu. The sound rang immediately.

After the sound of the firecrackers, the four grandmothers went forward to salute first, then three, to welcome the emperor's imperial edict and ritual letter. The imperial edict clearly stated the meaning of making Qianxue the queen and the decision to be married first, and read it out in public. No reading, the book of ceremonies is a list of gifts, read out in public.

After Zhao Chengfan finished reading the edict, Xing Boen began to read the book of rites: "...a pair of wild geese, two elk heads, a pair of good horses, a pair of jade Ruyi, two pieces of jade, two pieces of jewelry, and three sets of auspicious clothes , silk and satin nine hundred and nine hundred pieces, silk and silk nine hundred and nine hundred pieces, silver nine thousand nine hundred and nine hundred and nine two..." Xing Boen finished reading the same, and the official of the Ministry of Rites who gave the gift asked the corresponding The gifts are carried inside the Bufu.

After the grandmother received the imperial edict and ceremony book handed over by the envoy, she immediately sent a letter of reply that she had written long ago, expressing her consent to the marriage, also with Bu Qianxue's birth date attached, and the waiting at the door ended here up.

Next came the banquet, Bu Mansion hosted a banquet for the principal, deputy envoys and the accompanying officials, the rest of the people were not treated so well, they could only eat ancient boxed meals, with two meat buns and a large piece of pork.

The birthdays of the two had already been checked by Qin Tianjian, today was just a formality, even the ingredients for the banquet and the money and cloth for the preparation were all given by Shi Min long ago.

Because Shi Min was still in the palace waiting for them to go back to the business, the banquet was also accelerated, and those who ate ancient box lunches would only eat steamed buns, and the meat would be saved and brought home to win the prize.

Even if the banquet is speeded up, it will take a lot of time. By the time Zhao Chengfan led the team back to the palace, it was already three o'clock. Because of the curfew, when he came back, he didn't need the imperial guards and government servants to maintain order, which saved some money. .

Anyone who is engaged to the emperor to do business, no matter the palace attendant, the imperial army, or the government officials, will get a red envelope, ranging from one tael to 50 taels of silver. The big red envelopes are usually given to the envoys and deputy envoys. Shi Min has seen it The list, the red envelope alone costs about 10 taels.

On the first day of August in the fifth year of Tianfu, it is auspicious, and it is advisable to hold a happy event and worship the God of Wealth.

Before dawn, Shi Min was woken up, washed well, and just put on the red Yaji suit, which is different from the official Ji suit, and also different from the wedding dress, similar to the court dress, except that the color has turned red .

Thanks to my meeting, she doesn't have to go to court today, but the memorials still have to be approved, and the ministers still have to go to work, except for temporary errands for her.

After Shi Min dressed, she immediately went to Chengtian Palace, and according to the ceremony, Zuo Xuan was appointed as the welcoming envoy. She watched her lead the team out of Chengtian Gate before turning back and heading towards Anren Palace. She was going to greet her mother and thank her mother for her support. Well, then I will go to Yongshou Palace to pay my respects to Grandma Huang.

On the other side, Bu Mansion, Bu Qianxue didn't go there, she got up earlier than Shi Min, because she not only wanted to thank An and thank her, but also had to complete the preparations before the arrival of the envoy, and then entered the palace with her elders. palace. ?
