imprinted you in my heart

Asked by Bu Qianxue, Shi Min instantly remembered all kinds of past lives, high-rise buildings, feasting and feasting, and was about to come one by one, when the voice of urging reminders from the road outside came out at an inappropriate time.

"I'll tell you more when I have time. It's getting late, and it's more important to change clothes and go to Wenzhao Hall." Shi Min looked outside helplessly and said, "Yes." Bu Qianxue also looked outside and nodded in agreement, because today's The dinner parties are all her family members and relatives, so it's really not good to go late.

Only then did Shi Min call Lu Guanchu and the others in, and while they were going back to the dormitory to change their clothes, they did not forget to ask about the situation of the Queen Mother, Wenzhao Hall and the dinner party. Only then did they know that the guard of honor at the Queen Mother's side had been prepared. will depart.And the members of the Bu family have already entered through Chengtian Gate, and they will arrive at Wenzhao Hall soon, and all the arrangements for the dinner have been made.

Today's dinner is the last time for the two of them to wear wedding clothes, and it is also the third-to-last day of their wedding. Tomorrow, Shi Min will have to go to court as usual, and after the two of them take off their wedding clothes tonight, they can only be used to press the bottom of the box Yes, it's really a marriage once in a lifetime, and a wedding dress once.

The dinner was held in Wenzhao Hall as scheduled, and the two of them made their grand finale appearance, but the number of people who attended tonight was less than one-tenth of yesterday's. If it wasn't for the palace servants, dancers, etc., this huge palace would really look a little too big. empty.

Although there were not many people participating, the grand level and process were the same as yesterday, especially the new songs and new dances. The first time I listened to it, I was very happy and shocked. one two.

There were few people today, and they were all relatives, so the two of them interacted a bit more, especially when the new song and dance were being performed, the two discussed in low voice for a long time about the song, Bu Qianxue was very satisfied, but Shi Min felt that there was still room for improvement.

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are the four major subjects that literati must learn in this era, referred to as the four arts of literati. Even if they don't like it, they dabble in it. For example, Bu Qianxue, although she knows it, but the most favorite and the most outstanding thing is the book, and the worst is the book. Chess, piano and painting can only be considered unsatisfactory.

So she can still hear whether the music is good or bad, and she can play the general music, but if she is asked to go further and improve it, it is a bit reluctant.

Shi Min is not very good at the piano, and her ability to innovate depends on the accumulation of her previous life. After all, she listens to hundreds if not thousands of popular songs. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to compose new songs by herself.

Finally, I decided to have time to practice together in the future. If the new song can go further and better, no, they can do the qin and zither harmoniously after practicing. It's right to entertain themselves.

On the second day, which was also the third day after their wedding, there was no more banquet in the palace.Shi Min's first morning court after marriage was just a formality, and it ended soon, because today she and Bu Qianxue still have important sacrificial activities.

The most important national affairs here are Si and Rong, especially Si is still ranked in front of Rong, which shows that its status is respected, so from the emperor down to the common people, the matter of sacrifice is very important, and it is held on important days such as New Years and festivals. There must be sacrifices.

The emperor's wedding is a major event among major events, so the sacrifices are also carried out throughout. After the two meet together, they first go to the Sanqing Hall and the Mingyue Hall to offer sacrifices. The palace is already brightly lit.

The completion of this sacrificial ceremony marks the official end of the emperor's wedding, and also means that all the ceremonies in the palace have been completed.

The fourth day after the empress's wedding is also the last day of the wedding ceremony, but today's protagonist is not Shi Yan, Bu Qianxue or the inner courtyard of the palace, but Buhou's mansion.

Because according to the marriage customs of the Hua Dynasty, both the married party and the married party have to hold a wedding banquet, but the time is different and the titles are different.

It is called a formal marriage, also known as a formal wedding banquet, when the married party is held first, and the posts will be specially marked, so that relatives and friends can know at a glance whether the family is the married party or the married party.

After three days of marriage, the couple will return to the married couple's home together to hold a mid-marriage wedding banquet, which is also called Huimen among the people. Special banquets for family and friends at home.

In the Hua Dynasty, after marriage, the married party will no longer have the title of the family and the right to inherit property, but at least he will receive a bride price of more than five levels from the married party and a dowry from his parents. If he agrees with himself, he is not allowed to use it privately, otherwise he can sue the government for his partner to return it.

Therefore, there are also quite a few speculators who intentionally got married and divorced many times, and finally made a fortune from this and saved a lot of money and then set up their own businesses. However, such people are only a very small number after all, and most of them are honest people. .

Because the wealth here is obviously not from the right path, even if it is rich, it is looked down upon by others. After all, a gentleman loves money in a proper way.

Moreover, the bigger the family, the more expensive it will be to get married, so even if the relationship between the two parties really breaks down later, they can live with it, and dare not get along easily, because if they get married, they will remarry, and the cost and price of remarriage are too high. Let them have to weigh carefully.

Today, the Buhou Mansion held a mid-term wedding banquet, and the nobles and officials in the capital had to prepare another gift to congratulate, but the value of the gift and the effort to prepare it were far less than the painstaking effort during the big wedding.

As a rule, the empress would not come to the wedding banquet held at the empress's home in person, and would usually send a noble relative to sit in place of the empress, so the honorable ministers would not spend too much time on the banquet.

In fact, it was exactly as they had expected. It was Prince Li's son and patriarch Ling Shi Sihe who came to sit in the town. She won't show up easily.

In addition, it was not the first time that Prince Li did this, so everyone was used to it. If Prince Li came, they would be a little surprised.

The honorable ministers who came early chatted in groups of three and five in small voices, and exchanged privately. No one heard that the empress would come, so they were relieved and prepared to leave after eating in peace.

As the host of today's dinner party, Jiang Li has been busy since daytime. Even the daughter-in-law who doesn't care much on weekdays has to help, not to mention the two elders who have to worry about it. I told the teacher on personal leave and came back to help.

Because Shi Min wanted to compensate Zhang Xiao, the school that arranged for her to enroll was the best Mingdao College at that time, and helped her pay all the tuition fees at one time. Even after the education reform, it still adopted the old ways of the old and the new ways of the new.

That is to say, those who originally studied in Mingdao College and other schools can continue to study in the original school, but they have to be graded and divided into classes according to the new education regulations. Newcomers who have been promoted irregularly will no longer be recruited, and the teachers who teach junior students will leave with the students' graduation. , placed in suitable schools to continue to engage in educational work.

It means that colleges and universities such as Mingdao College will eventually become very professional colleges, no longer accepting from beginners to learned people like before, but only accepting students who have been promoted from various prefectures and some special schools. Personnel, such as students sent by the vassal states.

So Zhang Xiao who entered Mingdao Academy at the right time to study is very lucky. As long as she works hard enough to read step by step, she can continue to study in Mingdao Academy until she graduates from the university.

She always knew that the good-looking sister who saved her and her grandfather was either rich or expensive, but she never expected to be so "expensive". When she knew that the good-looking sister was the Holy One, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a long time, because in her In my little cognition, officials are very fierce, and they don't care about the life and death of the people, so the leader of the official must not be much better, anyway, he is not a good person.

In her opinion, the only good official is her own young master, who is approachable, not airy, and treats her very well. He not only cares about her studies, but also cares about her. Anyway, it is completely different from the officials she knows. .

But in fact, the Holy One is not what she thought at all, and it is very good, not only helping her and grandpa, but also arranging a place for them. There is no need to leave home.

So she wanted to be a good official like Zhonggong, and her grandfather had expected the same for her, but to become an official, she had to pass the imperial examination, so she chose to go to school without hesitation.

After reading the book, she knew a lot of things that she didn't know before, and she became more grateful to His Majesty and Zhong Gong, because without them, she would not be who she is now. As for the series of things that happened at home, she never blamed anyone , the only thing that made her very sad was her grandfather's departure, she hated those bad guys.

Of course, she also wanted to take revenge on them, but she didn't need to take action at all, because the Holy Majesty had dealt with them in accordance with the law and justice, so she completely let go.

Because her grandfather taught her to be grateful since she was a child. Without His Majesty, they would have died long ago. Where would they be now?Being able to die for His Majesty and Zhonggong, Grandpa Chongen would have no regrets, and all she can do is to study hard and pass the imperial examination as Grandpa expected, and then become a good official.

Because only in this way can she help the Bu family and share the worries of His Majesty. Doing something for His Majesty and Zhonggong is her biggest motivation now.Presumably, if Grandpa had a spirit in heaven, he would also feel relieved for her.

Meeting people like His Majesty and Zhonggong is the greatest luck in her life, she cherishes it very much, so she studies very hard and devotes herself to studying at school, but ignores other things and never talks to them. People say three to four.

Because of her low-key and hard work, even her classmates don't know that she has seen the Holy Master and Zhonggong, let alone her specific identity. They only know that she has something to do with Buhou Mansion, but the specific relationship is not clear up.

The two elders of the Buhou Mansion really liked Zhang Xiao, so they asked Jiang Li to adopt her as a foster daughter at the beginning of this year, because it was only a simple cutscene, so not many people knew about it, and Zhang Xiao was not a show-off , so it is normal that most people do not know.

But attending the palace dinner the day before yesterday and helping entertain the guests together today also made her look familiar, and rumors about Buhou having a adopted daughter will soon spread.

In fact, Zhang Xiao was more happy than anyone else when His Majesty married Zhonggong, so she was also very active and enthusiastic. She would take the initiative to do what she could do without the orders of Bu Hou and the two elders, and she worked hard to do the best. good.

The time for the mid-marriage dinner was getting closer, and the sky was getting darker. Lanterns began to be lit in the Hou's mansion, and Zhang Xiao was also helping to greet the guests. He didn't go to talk to Yi Niang until almost everyone who was supposed to come was here. report.

Only then did Jiang Li come forward to invite Shi Sihe out, Shi Sihe didn't talk nonsense, and began to read the imperial edict when she came out. She came on behalf of the emperor and queen, so naturally she couldn't come empty-handed.

The dignified officials who came earlier also saw it. This time, the door-returning gift was carried eight times. Although I couldn't see what was inside, it was produced by the royal family. No matter how bad it was, it was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The imperial edict only mentions the return gift in one sentence, and it mainly praises Bufu for producing a queen, so it not only bestows gifts on the elders, daughter-in-law, and Zhang Xiao, but also specially confers Bu Qianxue's little niece as a nobleman. After a hundred years, Bu Hou Jiang Li will inherit the title and enshrine the Bu family temple.

Obedience is not a custom, but Shi Min's special favor to the Bu family. Bu Qianxue did not agree to it at first, after all, the Buhou Mansion was regarded as a kindness, but in the end, Shi Min couldn't hold back, so he compromised.Fortunately, conferring is only a promotion of status, and has no other real power.

The designation of the little niece as a prince is the result of discussions between Shi Min and Bu Qianxue. It's also what I hoped for, and I have long had feelings for it after I have been raising it, so naturally I will continue to raise it.

As for the daughter-in-law, Ren Shi is as promised before, whether she remarries in the future or chooses to stay in the Hou Mansion, the Bu family will respect her choice, and will give a generous dowry if she chooses to remarry.

Bu Qianxue also had a heart-to-heart talk with this sister in private, because her niece is still young, and she has no plans to remarry at all, but she can't guarantee it in the future, after all, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, especially She is still so young, Bu Qianxue can understand, after all, not everyone takes love so seriously.

After the edict was read out, everyone saluted, Shi Sihe sat at the main table, and the rest followed suit. With the sound of ceremony and music, the dinner officially began.

What everyone didn't expect was that after three glasses of wine, the atmosphere just started to be lively. His Majesty and Zhonggong, who hadn't heard of coming, actually came in disguise. Man, the face is burning badly.

Shi Min and Bu Qianxue also came here on a temporary basis, so not only did they not have time to change their clothes, but the entourage was also very streamlined. In the end, they only stayed for about a quarter of an hour. Just in case something happens.

With the end of the wedding banquet in Buhou's mansion, the rare wedding of an emperor and empress has also come to an end.

In the early morning of the next day, Luo Bu Ren didn't come because he was on leave. Shi Min already knew from Guo Fanqiu that he was pretending to be sick. Go and have a look when you go down. ?
