If you want to say pro, you must first have a matchmaker.
For a solemn marriage, there must be three media.
Xia Xun's main matchmaker is the emperor, and the matchmaker of both men and women cannot be too bad, and with the status of both families being national princes, the matchmaker cannot be an idle person.
Dingguo Mansion is close to the water, and directly from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Chengguo Gong Zhu Neng is pulled to be a female matchmaker, and the male matchmaker has become a problem, the status and qualifications must be matched with the female matchmaker, and the high status and low status are not successful, forcing Xia Xun to almost run to Kaifeng to ask the King of Zhou to save him, but the vassal king is not allowed to leave the vassal country without permission, in order to give people to return to Beijing to return to their relatives, Yang Xu's score is inevitably too big.
Later, Xia Xun finally thought of Ru Chang, on the title of Ru Chang is just an earl, but he is the crown prince Shaobao, who has done Shangshu in the three most important yamen in the six departments, and has the highest seniority among civil officials, if it were not for the meritorious work of Jing Nan, Zhu Neng is 108,000 miles worse than others, and Ru Chang's son Ru Jiangang is engaged to the second daughter of King Qin, the lord of Chang'an, and his status is more important, Xia Xun took a gift and ran to Ru Mansion to ask for a matchmaker.
Fu Guogong is now prestigious, such as Zhongtian, how can Ru Chang not allow it, Ru Chang readily agreed, these three media got together, and only then began to carry out the normal marriage negotiation steps.
Of course, this is the part that both men and women must communicate with, and there are all kinds of preparations to be made within each other.
When Xia Xun was busy preparing for the wedding, Chen Ying and Ji Gang were busier than him, Xia Xun was busy marrying, and Chen Ying and Ji Gang were busy arresting people.
Because of the rebellious actions of Xu Huizu and Geng Bingwen, the old ministers of Jianwen, Zhu Di became vigilant and issued a secret decree ordering Chen Ying and Ji Gang to conduct a thorough investigation.
In the purge of more than a month when Zhu Di entered Nanjing, the military ministers of the Jianwen Dynasty, who were not implicated in the slightest, began to be unlucky thanks to Xu Huizu and Geng Bingwen.
First of all, Chen Ying impeached Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, for the crime of trespassing, Geng Bingwen knew why he was arrested, and he committed suicide very smartly.
Then, from the confessions obtained under the heavy interrogation of Geng Bingwen and Xu Huizu's cronies, the third mastermind of the "four-person group": Ma Meiyin, was arrested and charged with evil plots.
Because he is a concubine, the emperor is not governed, but when Mei Yin went down to the court, because of the crowding of the ministers, he "lost his footing" and fell off the Jinshui Bridge and drowned alive.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ying impeached Duwei Hu Guan for forcibly taking a folk woman and marrying a prostitute as a concubine.
In fact, Hu Guan was a little unlucky, because he was not Xu Huizu and Geng Bingwen, in fact, he was on Zhu Gaoxu's side and supported Zhu Gaoxu's struggle for succession, but he was very close to his concubine Mei Yin, and a lot of evidence involved him.
Similarly, Hu Guan is also a concubine, Zhu Di ordered that he should not be prosecuted as usual, and only ordered him to reflect behind closed doors, but within two days, Ji Gang reported Hu Guan's "resentment", that is, he scratched and scolded the emperor at home, in short, he was disrespectful, so he was imprisoned.
Later, Chen Ying impeached Licheng Marquis Sheng Yong for resentment and punishment, and Sheng Yong committed suicide in fear when he heard the news.
Ji Gang secretly played Cao Guogong Li Jinglong's brother Li Zengzhi to buy more farm property and save more tenants, his intentions were unpredictable, he was sentenced to prison, and his family property was confiscated, and Li Jinglong was also placed under house arrest and waiting to be participated.
Li Jinglong was frightened when he heard the news, he knew that if he continued like this, he would be the unlucky one, so he turned against the defense and immediately announced a hunger strike to apologize Yang Xu was following the big matchmaker Ru Chang to the Dingguo Mansion to give a dowry gift at this time, this is a recruitment, and after the recruitment, this family affair is completely settled, and the little beauty will be the Yang family from now on.
The second brother of Ming'er, Xu Yingxu, was greeted in the Dingguo Mansion, and now he can only be the head of the Xu family to preside over the marriage of his sister, so he hurried back to Beijing, and he also brought his nephew Xu Jingchang with him, as well as the female matchmaker Zhu Neng, who actually didn't know anything about wedding ceremonies.
The Xu family opened the door of the mansion, and the three of them went out.
The waiters holding and carrying various gifts outside the door went out for a mile, Ru Chang and Xia Xun stood at the front, dressed in full costumes, Xu Yingxu hurriedly greeted them, and asked with a smile: "Why did the two of you come?"
Ru Chang smiled and arched his hand: "Yang Xu, the prince of the auxiliary country, is very affectionate and follows the ceremony.
If there is a coin that is not shy, dare to ask for it. ” Zhu Neng stood there with a pair of bear eyes and watched the excitement, as if nothing happened, Xu Jingchang was anxious, and quickly turned him with his elbow, Zhu Neng turned his head, Xu Jingchang had pretended to be idle and looked at him.
Zhu Neng followed his gaze, it turned out to be a tall poplar tree, a bird's nest on the tree, looking left and right, puzzled, and asked strangely: "Dingguo Gong, what do you want the old man to see?"
"Ahem" Xu Jingchang coughed a little embarrassed, covered his nose and whispered, "Grandpa Guo, it's time for you to speak." ” "Oh" Zhu Neng panicked: "What did I say?"
Xu Jingchang reminded in a low voice: "The auxiliary state is given a heavy gift, and Xu Dudu dares not to accept it." ” Zhu Neng sighed, immediately took a step forward, raised his eyebrows, and said loudly in the heroic voice he had cultivated on the battlefield: "The Auxiliary State Governor gives him a heavy gift, and Xu Dudu dares not to bow down."
This voice frightened both the guest and the host, looking at his horizontal knife posture, this is to invite the host to receive a gift, if he stuffs a big knife in his hand, Xu Yingxu dares to be rude, he will cut it down.
Xu Yingxu couldn't cry or laugh, so he replied to Ru Chang according to his words, the two sides bowed to each other, and marched into the house side by side.
Far away, a high pavilion, far away, the host and guest of honor and do not squint, originally not afraid of being seen, but the pavilion is still only half a curtain cage, a picturesque pretty girl hidden behind the curtain cage quietly watched, saw that the Yang family sent so many gifts, the messengers in front of them have entered the second hall, the waiter who carries the gifts is still a long line, and there is no tail, I can't help but pause and say: "This nerd, he has only been a prince for a few days, and his family background is very solid, such a toss" Ming'er felt sorry for her husband, and this dowry gift was given, but she couldn't carry it back with the girl.
Not far behind him, there was a beautiful woman sitting at the table, it was the queen mother of the Xu family, hearing her sister's words, Queen Xu was angry and funny, and said: "You girl, you haven't married yet, you have spoken to others, and the Xu family has raised you for many years." ” "Sister" Xu Ming'er's face turned red with shame, and she turned around and smiled: "Isn't this the women's virtue that my sister taught others, isn't my sister good to my brother-in-law?"
Empress Xu smiled and sighed: "You, I really don't know what kind of drug he poured on you" Looking at the happy appearance of the girl, a warmth slowly came to my heart.
Although it was a good thing to be a stumbling block at the beginning, it was also because she wanted to protect her sister's interests and happiness, and her sister married a satisfactory husband, of course she was also happy for it.
Seeing her sister's shy and timid appearance, Queen Xu suddenly remembered her original appearance, how similar it was to her sister's performance today.
He came to the mansion to recruit Zheng, hid behind the screen, quietly watched him Empress Xu wake up from her memories, and instructed with some anxiety: "Ming'er, after the recruitment, in terms of name, you are Yang Xu's person, stay at home and wait for marriage, and you can't see him again before the candles in the cave room." ” "People know, my sister has said it 800 times" Ming'er dragged on with a long voice, but a pair of wonderful eyes stared at the person who was about to enter the hall in the distance, full of joy.
Outside the main hall of the Xu family, the two sides of the guest of honor stood still, bowed to each other, walked into the hall, stood in the hall, bowed again, gave a speech to each other, and then exchanged letters, and then bowed to each other, and each turned around to hand over the letter to the people around them to collect, and the gift of accepting the levy was over.
Both parties relaxed, sat down and talked and laughed, and most of the things they said were related to the wedding, the layout of the new house, the color of the furniture, the guests to the banquet, and so on.
But these are all Ru Chang and Xu Yingxu talking, from time to time Zhu Neng will interject, and Xia Xun will call Xu Jingchang aside, and the two of them muttered without knowing what they were talking about, which seemed very mysterious.
However, looking at the smiles on the faces of the two, the topic should be very relaxed.
After the levy, it is generally two months at the earliest to welcome the family, plus some other preparations, it has to be scheduled to the beginning of September, in fact, this time is very good, if the time is too early, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River is hot and humid, catch up with the midsummer season to get married, the bride and groom and the guests have to sweat like rain, very sinful, and at that time to get married, the purchase of a large number of wine and meat food is not easy to preserve.
The two sides talked and laughed for a while, drank a cup of tea, Xia Xun and Ru Chang got up to say goodbye, Xu Yingxu and Xu Jingchang sent the two of them out of the mansion solemnly, then took off their robes, and hurried to the back house to see the queen's sister, and reported to her that the process of Nazheng and some of the wedding topics mentioned today.
Because the huge team of attendants was too conspicuous, after leaving the Dingguo Mansion, Xia Xun sent them back first, and he and Ru Chang walked slowly with more than a dozen guards.
In June, the weather was hot and humid, and the two of them chatted with each other, and just turned the corner of the street, a person rushed by the side of the road, and was immediately stopped by Xia Xun's vigilant guards.
The man jumped to his feet and said, "I ask to see the Auxiliary Prince, I have an urgent matter, I ask to see the Auxiliary Prince" Ru often saw this situation, and smiled at Xia Xun and said, "Guogong, I'll take the first step." ” "There's a Lady Lao" Xia Xun arched his hand to Ru Chang, watched him ride away, turned his head to look at the person dressed as a steward on the side of the road, and said, "Call him over."
The man hurriedly rushed to Xia Xun, turned over and fell to the ground, kowtowed and begged: "Grandpa Guo, my lord, please see Guogong" Xia Xun frowned and said, "Who is your master?"

The man cried and said: "My lord is Cao Guogong, Grandpa Guo, save my lord, my lord has been on hunger strike for ten days, and the water and rice have not entered."
Xia Xun was taken aback: "Cao Guogong is still alive after ten days of hunger strike?"
"Thanks to the Guogong question, my lord is still alive" Xia Xun was speechless, on such a hot day, Li Jinglong had not eaten water and rice for ten days, and he was still alive, such a bone did not become a ninja, it was really a waste of materials To be continued:
