Jade Without Fragrance - Chapter 338
Chapter 338 The sky is high and the earth is wide
Cheng Shu and Kou Wan’s wedding was scheduled for late autumn. At first, he was worried that Cheng Zhiyuan, who was overseas, would not be able to return in time for the wedding. He didn’t expect that Cheng Zhiyuan would come back in time for the hottest June day of the year.
In this overseas trip, not only did Dazhou’s tea and silk be replaced with a large amount of gold and silver, but also overseas spices and treasures were brought back with them.
These fan goods are very popular with wealthy people, because Cheng Zhiyuan represents the official, and all the money sold has been moved into the treasury.
Since Qi Shuo became the crown prince, he has taken on the important task of supervising the country. Emperor Tai’an only interrogated and made decisions on particularly important matters, and spent the rest of the time taking good care of his body. Knowing that Cheng Zhiyuan was back, Emperor Tai’an not only cheered up and met, but also let Qi Shuo accompany him to see the treasury piled up with gold and silver.
There are actually detailed account books in the Ministry of Accounts. It is clear if the treasury is full or empty. Can reading the account books be the same as seeing the silver mountain?
Tai’an Emperor’s bitter treasury had been empty for a long time, and he was hit by the silver of the white flowers. He was overjoyed to add an official to Cheng Zhiyuan, and even awarded him a title.
As a result, more people want Cheng Zhiyuan to be his son-in-law.
These people all know that it is the old lady of the Lin family who can make the decision for Cheng Zhiyuan, and the threshold of the military mansion will be trampled several times.
The old lady called Lin Shi and Cheng Zhiyuan, patted a stack of posts and asked, “How to deal with these, do you have any ideas?”
Last year, when the adopted son left Beijing, the niece chased after him to give something to her, and she could see it in her eyes. After that, the family letter of the adopted son was thicker than one letter, and it was all written to the niece.
Now that people are back, these two people don’t mention anything serious, what does it mean?
“I, I listened to Wanqing.” Cheng Zhiyuan, who was shrewd and capable when dealing with Westerners, looked at Lin nervously like a hairy boy.
Lin shi glanced at him and was a little embarrassed: “I listen to my mother.”
The old lady smiled: “Then I’ll take a random one from this pile of posts? It’s not bad anyway.”
“Mother!”
Cheng Zhiyuan was even more anxious: “Foster mother, I don’t want to marry anyone except Wan Qing!”
Lin’s face was slightly hot, and he was silent.
The old lady was completely relieved, and she asked inexplicably, “You are not teenagers anymore. Now that you know each other’s thoughts, why are you all like gourds?”
This time it was Lin Shi who said: “The tree is about to get married, we suddenly decided this, I’m afraid they will make people laugh-“
She doesn’t care what the world is talking about, but she always thinks about Shu’er and the Kou family girl.
The old lady looked at Cheng Zhiyuan again, but Cheng Zhiyuan still smiled: “Anything is fine, I’ll listen to Wanqing.”
The old lady snorted: “I think you two are fans of the authorities. The emperor values Zhiyuan very much now, and he doesn’t have to be too busy in the previous court, so he is not afraid that he will suddenly be a matchmaker for Zhiyuan? Putting out the thoughts of others, don’t talk about it, when the tree is married, there are parents to worship, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?”
Cheng Zhiyuan suddenly got up and snorted deeply: “Foster mother, the child wants to marry Wanqing, please do it.”
Lin looked at the old lady and the righteous brother, and also stood up.
The old lady looked at the two of them side by side and couldn’t help but smile: “I agreed.”
Cheng Zhiyuan remarried, and Lin’s remarried. At this age, he didn’t have so many twists and turns. He quickly passed the six ceremonies according to the rules, and got married in early August.
This wedding was not a big deal, only the closest people were invited. Hearing the wind, the houses sent congratulatory gifts one after another, filling the main courtyard of Ruichangbo Mansion to the fullest.
Ruichangbo was Cheng Zhiyuan’s title. Emperor Tai’an considered it very carefully, and the mansion he bestowed was not far from the general’s mansion.
At the wedding scene, Lin Chan couldn’t help but turn red as she looked at her mother who was bowing to the old lady, and Han Baocheng hurriedly hugged her shoulders as a sign of comfort.
The little girl who was hugged by the wet nurse saw her father comforting her mother, and opened her hands to beg for a hug, but the young parents didn’t pay attention, and they were so aggrieved that they cried.
Seeing her sister and brother-in-law scrambling to coax the children, Lin Hao, who had red eyes at first, smiled, and when he returned to the East Palace, he said to Qi Shuo, “Eldest sister’s Zhuzhu is eight months old, and she is indeed much more handsome than when she was born. “
At least now that her mother praised her granddaughter as being as beautiful as a fairy, she can barely nod her head.
“Mother and uncle-father are still young, maybe I can still be a sister.” Lin Hao was obviously in a good mood. After talking about his little niece, he talked about his mother who just got married.
It turns out that as long as people live well, there are unexpected possibilities and unexpected happiness.
A hand reached out and took her into his arms.
“Maybe before becoming a sister, you can become a mother first.”
The palace people lowered their eyes one after another, and their hearts came again, came again, the prince and the prince concubine began to show their affection without shame and impatience!
The red silk of Ruichang Bofu has not faded, so it was replaced with new silk. Compared with the simplicity of Lin’s and Cheng Zhiyuan’s wedding, Cheng Shu and Kou Wan’s wedding was a grand one.
The Empress Dowager’s death, the mighty Marquis Mansion, has some knowledge in mind. Since then, she has been a man with her tail tucked between her tails. What she is most worried about is that Kou Wan’s marriage will change.
Fortunately, everything went well, and the Weiwuhou Mansion was particularly fortunate, adding 30% to Kou Wan’s dowry.
The city is full of yellow leaves, the maple forest is red, and the red makeup has entered Ruichang House, so many guests come to the wedding that it is almost impossible to sit down.
Cheng Maoming, the commander of Jinlinwei, brought Du Qing with him.
Looking at Cheng Shu who was wearing a red wedding dress and toasting from table to table, Cheng Maoming was filled with emotion.
Once he had a very good impression of this young man with the same surname, and even thought of accepting him as his adopted son, but he never thought that his father would not only come back, but also his mother, and a sister who was a princess!
Thinking like this, Cheng Maoming glanced at Du Qing, who was sitting beside him eating vegetables.
This kid is out of luck.
Du Qing frowned.
What is the look of Governor Cheng?
Cheng Shu came over, accompanied by Han Baocheng and Qi Shuo.
Han Baocheng is just fine. What is the treatment for the prince to accompany the toast?
Every table stood up quickly without waiting for anyone to approach. Not only did he not dare to coax the groom to drink, but he was very happy to drink it himself.
In the sound of congratulations, Qi Shuo raised a toast to Cheng Maoming, then took a deep look at Du Qing before following Cheng Shu to the next table.
Cheng Maoming was instantly elated.
Prince is really different to him!
At the beginning, he discovered that Prince Jing was his lucky star, but he did not expect that even greater blessings would follow, and Prince Jing actually became the prince!
With his personal friendship with the prince, he no longer worries that the new emperor will be kicked out of the throne in the future.
The commander of Jin Linwei drank too much at the wedding banquet of Cheng Shu, the son of Ruichang, and sang a play, and was carried away by a young man. It is said that it was because he had taken a fancy to Cheng Shu as his son-in-law and felt uncomfortable.
Cheng Maoming felt humiliated when he heard the rumors after sobering up: “The same surname is not married, how can some people believe such rumors!”
Du Qing’s expressionless reminder: “Maybe it’s because you sing Daomadan?”
Cheng Maoming became angry: “Why didn’t you stop me at that time!”
Jin Linwei, who heard the scolding from the Governor outside, was not even curious, what to do.
I’m used to it, anyway, no matter how angry the governor is, he won’t punish the related household!
Sweet days passed quickly, it was getting colder, and it was time for Cheng Maoming to cross the ocean again.
This time, he is expected to leave for a longer time, so that the official caravan needs to gain a firm foothold overseas.
It was still the same pier. There were more people seeing Lin Chan and Kou Wan off. Besides Cheng Zhiyuan, there were also the Lin family.
Looking at her daughter and son-in-law who bowed down, although the old lady was reluctant to part with them, she was sincerely happy for them: “It’s a good thing to follow Zhiyuan to see the customs and customs overseas. go.”
“Mother, you must take care of your health.” Lin Shi was usually a careless man, but at this time he couldn’t help crying.
Lin Chan softly persuaded: “Mother, don’t worry, there are me and my sister.”
Lin Hao is not as reserved as Lin Chan, so he rushed over and hugged Lin’s: “Mother, take care of yourself when you go out, remember to write back when you encounter something new and interesting.”
Hearing what she said, Mrs Lin suddenly became less sad. Holding the hands of her two daughters, she gave a few words of advice, then kowtowed to the old lady, and slowly boarded the ship with Cheng Zhiyuan hand in hand.
The autumn sun, which was just rising, sprinkled all over the river, and the vast and rushing river was flowing with broken gold. The boat moved, riding the wind and waves, getting smaller and smaller as the distance went, and finally disappeared where the sky meets the water. Even if Lin Hao stood on tiptoe, he couldn’t see it.
At this point, her heart was completely filled with sadness and envy.
I am reluctant to leave my mother across the ocean, and I can’t see each other for a long time. I also envy my mother for having a rare and precious freedom after the ups and downs.
Qi Shuo took Lin Hao’s hand and promised softly, “Ah Hao, in the future, I’ll take you overseas too.”
After a moment of silence, the corner of Lin Hao’s lips lifted lightly: “Okay.”
is not possible, as long as each other is the same as before, it is also good.
It’s not over yet.
