Time is slow - Chapter 736

   Chapter 736 Marriage

   Ming Kangdi’s mood is getting worse and worse, and he has lost the joy of retreat and feels that his life is dark.

   “Wei Wuxie, go and invite the Celestial Master.” After holding it for a long time, Emperor Ming Kang finally couldn’t bear it any longer, and wanted to find Zhang Tianshi to count the good days and auspicious days for retreating.

   After a while, Zhang Tianshi, who was wearing a gossip robe, rushed over.

   Emperor Kang’s face was far better when he faced Zhang Tianshi, and he even waved at him affectionately: “Heavenly Master, come quickly.”

   Zhang Tianshi walked over to greet him with a calm expression.

   “Heavenly Master, I have had a lot of trouble with my retreat recently. I also asked the Heavenly Master to do the math for me and see when the next retreat is appropriate.”

   Zhang Tianshi nodded, his eyes closed slightly, and he counted with his fingers.

   “How?” Seeing Zhang Tianshi open his eyes, Emperor Ming Kang couldn’t wait to ask.

   Zhang Tianshi shook his head: “Your Majesty, it is not advisable to retreat recently.”

   “When is the right time?”

   “It is not advisable to retreat this year and next.”

  Emperor Kangdi’s eyes darkened: “Does Heavenly Master have a way to decipher it?”

   It is impossible to pass this day without being able to retreat for so long.

“Rongpin Taoist divination on a hexagram.” Zhang Tianshi took out three ancient coins and shook them a few times in the palm of his hand, and threw the copper coins on the table. After doing this several times, he said solemnly, “This is a different hexagram, and the shape of the hexagram is that there is something at the foot of the mountain. Dangerous, still keep moving forward.”

  Ming Kangdi felt bad when he heard it.

   Does this mean that if he insists on retreating, he will be unlucky again?

“but-“

   Hearing the word “but”, Emperor Ming Kang was shocked and looked at Zhang Tianshi eagerly.

Zhang Tianshi still looks like an expert outside the world: “However, if the action is appropriate, it can be transformed into mastery. This hexagram has a hidden marriage, which means that if the emperor sets the date of this retreat on the day of others’ great joy, he will take advantage of the joy of others. If you are happy with yourself, you can sit back and relax.”

  Ming Kangdi narrowed his eyes and stroked his sparse beard: “So, I’m going to be a matchmaker?”

   Zhang Tianshi did not make a sound.

   “Anyone can do it?” Emperor Ming Kang asked again.

   As long as he can hurry up to retreat, he can marry his daughter now.

   “There is no limit to who can be selected, but the selected person cannot be weak. If the common people get married in a big way, it will be difficult to support the emperor to borrow joy. It can be used by royal relatives and court officials.”

   “Let me think about it.” Emperor Kang of Ming pondered.

   He still has a daughter who has not left the cabinet, and the fifth one has no concubine, but since it is borrowing happiness, if he borrows his children’s “hi”, won’t the children be affected?

  Although this is nothing compared to his own avenue of longevity, but the master said that the court officials can also be, since they can harm outsiders, ahem, no, since they can be kind to the ministers, the prince and princess don’t need to be involved.

  Who is the right choice?

   “Wei Wuxie—”

   “The slave is here.”

   “Bring me the roster of officials and nobles from the DPRK and China.”

“Yes.”

  Two quarters of an hour later, Wei Wuxie walked in with a high stack of booklets, followed by a few little eunuchs, also holding a stack of booklets.

  Ming Kangdi twitched the corner of his mouth: “Pick out the unmarried ones to me.”

  The workload is heavy. Wei Wuxie called a few little eunuchs to work together, and it took more than half an hour to present the two lists to Emperor Ming Kang.

   “Just so many people?” Emperor Kang of Ming first looked at the list of court officials.

   Wei Wuxie was full of helplessness, but he didn’t dare to show it: “Reporting to the emperor, most of the officials in the DPRK are over 30 years old, and the very few who haven’t married are mainly Xinke Jinshi.”

   Ming Kangdi frowned.

   The champion among the new scholars was only awarded the sixth grade, so what kind of aura can these people have? What if it affects his retreat effect?

  Ming that Emperor Kang was disgusting, Wei Wuxie added: “Because we have a tradition of catching son-in-law under the list, most of these new scholars who haven’t married their wives have also settled their marriages.”

   “What about these?” Emperor Ming Kang picked up another list, which was densely packed, “The grandson of Duke Han, the youngest son of Uncle Changchun… What errands do they all do?”

   Wei Wuxie twitched the corners of his mouth: “Most of them don’t have errands…”

   They are all gangsters who rely on their ancestors to eat, drink, and have fun. What kind of errands can they have? The emperor always gives him problems.

   Ming Kangdi was silent.

   I thought that being a matchmaker would be a simple matter, but who would have thought it would be so troublesome, and it turned out that everything went wrong!

   “Is there no high-ranking noble or important minister who has not yet married a wife?”

  Wei Wuxie smiled dryly.

  Your Majesty, you are really joking. If there is such a person, he would like to have a daughter and marry him.

   No, there seems to be such a person!

   “Your Majesty, this servant thinks of a suitable person.”

“Who?”

   “Champion Hou.”

  Ming Kangdi’s eyes lit up.

   Yes, how could he forget that kid!

   “Champion Hou and that Li…”

   “Miss Li San.” Wei Wuxie continued.

   “Well, that’s them, how long have you been engaged?”

   “It’s been a year.” Wei Wuxie might not be able to tell the date of the engagement immediately if he talked about others, but as the Admiral of Dongchang, he naturally paid close attention to the matter of the champion.

   “What about the wedding date?”

   “Next February.”

   “Pass on my will to confer marriage to the champion Hou and Lai’s daughter, so that they will get married in seven days.”

   “Yes.” Wei Wuxie had long since cultivated a composure that no matter what strange words the emperor said.

   “Go.” Ming Kangdi closed his eyes.

   It takes seven days to wait. It’s really like a year. Should I withdraw my will and change it to three days?

   The Li House was stunned after receiving the imperial edict that Wei Wuxie personally came to read out the marriage gift.

  Why do you give marriage?

   Did the emperor have nothing to do when he was full, and was watching the weddings, funerals and marriages of his courtiers?

   “Miss Li San, accept the order.” Wei Wuxie reminded lightly.

   Mrs. Deng just woke up from a dream, looking at her granddaughter taking the imperial decree with a complicated look.

   What does this sudden gift of marriage mean?

   As soon as Wei Wuxie left, Madam Deng immediately asked, “Zhaozhao, do you know what’s going on?”

  Qiao Zhao blinked.

   What else could happen, a certain cheeky person can’t wait to marry a daughter-in-law.

   Of course, this can’t be said directly to the grandmother and others. Qiao Zhao curved his lips and said, “The granddaughter doesn’t know why, probably he is going to send Tingquan to go out again, in order to appease people, let him get married as soon as possible.”

   This reason is reasonable, Mrs. Deng thought about it and sighed: “It would be better to get married as soon as possible.”

Military generals are different from civil servants. There are too many unpredictable things. Since the two children are in love with each other, it is better to fulfill them earlier. With this holy purpose of giving marriage, I am not afraid of others saying that the third girl’s mourning period is not yet completed. gossip.

Mrs. Deng silently persuaded herself, but Mrs. He quit: “Seven days? How can seven days be enough? There are so many dowries yet to be prepared! By the way, Zhaozhao, have you embroidered your red hijab yet?”

  Qiao Zhao: “…”

   Leaving this topic aside, she can still be a happy bride.

   “Oh, I thought there were still three months left. If you practice your hands, you can lock the side of the hijab. There are only seven days left. Why don’t you cut the cloth first, I don’t think it’s too difficult.”
