Wishful Things - Chapter 681

   Chapter 681

  The wedding date is set for the late spring season in March of the following year.

  The prince’s wedding can be prepared in advance. The ministries are already preparing for it. After the prince returns to Beijing, the specific wedding date will be set and the next details will be completed.

  Therefore, more than a hundred days is already very abundant.

  From the inside and outside of the palace in the court, and down to the people of Li people, all of them are paying attention and eagerly looking forward to this upcoming wedding.

  Hundred officials are more anxious, which is understandable-after all, after all, the prince will be a full 22 years old after this year.

  The one on the dragon chair, seeing that there is no way to enrich the harem-oh, not to mention it is enriched, it is a luxury to have a queen to behave!

  Daddy can’t count on it, so naturally they can only pin their hopes on the prince, right?

  Yes, Baiguan really showed unprecedented enthusiasm for the prince’s wedding.

  Under the enthusiasm, above all things, all work hard, and strive to do this matter properly, beautifully and gracefully.

  It is after all—the two men finally gave them a chance to have a happy event!

  I don’t know when the next time will be!

Can’t you cherish this hard-won busyness?

  In the orderly preparations of this faction, we enter the twelfth lunar month, and then on New Year’s Eve, the days are really fast.

  Years later, Xu Mingyi heard a lot of good news one after another.

A good news came from the south. In the old days, the old king of Yan Wang, Jin Yuanjin, generals beheaded the King of Dongwu, which caused the Dongwu army to be upset. After several attacks, the new King of Dongwu was forced to hand over the agreement and documents. The Dianzhou storm finally There was a calm state.

In addition, Zhang Yunsui, the former prefect of Mingzhou, went to Beijing alone, expressing Mingzhou’s intention to submit to the court. In addition to submitting to the court, he also pleaded guilty. When Emperor Fei was in power, this prefect once brought the victims of Mingzhou to rebellion. , The front and back men gathered more than 30,000 followers to occupy the Mingzhou area, and they were kept tightly guarded. Even the suppression troops sent by the court before could do nothing.

After Emperor Zhaozhen was enthroned, he did not make any aggressive attacks on crimes. Instead, in the past two years, he used practical measures to rebuild confidence in the imperial court.

  The current border crisis is temporarily eliminated, and the weather is smooth everywhere, and the word stability is the general trend.

  Under this situation, whether it is to discern the heart of the emperor or to understand the current affairs, obedience has become the best choice.

  Faced with Zhang Yunsui, who had invited him, the imperial court also gave him punishment-seizing him as the prefect of Mingzhou.

  There have been treatments and etiquette.

  Similarly, there is a reward for meritorious deeds——

  So, Zhang Yunsui, who was robbed of the prefect of Mingzhou, immediately took over as the commander of the Mingzhou government.

  This move shocked the hearts of the people in Mingzhou.

  For the people of Mingzhou, Zhang Yunsui is by no means an anti-thief, but a benefactor who once saved them.

  The benefactor took the guilt with all his strength, and went to the capital to plead guilty to protect the heart of Mingzhou. Now not only has he returned safely, he is still allowed to take the military power to govern the Mingzhou government——

  The current court is not only generous, but also generous.

  Of course, if these statements meet the so-called wise people, they may laugh at the dull people of the world.

   Righteousness?

  Clearly hidden everywhere, there are no more sensible trade-offs.

  As soon as Mingzhou has the heart to submit, but if the court really punishes Zhang Yunsui, it is impossible for Mingzhou to have no grievances. Giving birth to a barrier is equivalent to burying the roots.

  Secondly, the imperial court is now at the time of employing people. Even if the imperial examination is added to recruit scholars, those who are truly capable of governing a government cannot be honed overnight—

  No one knows Mingzhou government better than Zhang Yunsui, and can stabilize the minds of Mingzhou people.

   To put it harder, even if the court wants to shake Mingzhou in full, it still needs to wait patiently for the opportunity, and it is gradually divided.

   Again, under the chaos of the current situation, the anti-revolutionary forces that have spawned are far more than Mingzhou. The court has acted magnanimously and kindly, and there are only advantages and no disadvantages.

  These are all real.

   is also the pros and cons written by Xu Mingyi at the time on the policy theory drawn up by Zhang Yun with the incident.

  It is not difficult to take care of the righteousness.

  It’s not difficult to guard your sense.

  With reason and righteousness, even if there are calculations, why not do it?

   Hearing that several more land-occupying forces have offered submission documents, Xu Mingyi’s heart has become more stable.

  Without a single soldier, the internal troubles can be quelled, which is the situation she most wants to see.

  Civil strife is different from facing a foreign race. It is born from the same root. If it is not necessary, no one wants to go to war and blood flow.

  As the water in the pool gradually clears, those who fish in troubled waters will soon have nowhere to hide.

  Then just wait for the ruler and the ministers to govern together, perfect every place, recuperate and rejuvenate——

  Slowly, the roots of Daqing will be firmly rooted under this country.

  With the longing for the future, Xu Mingyi’s mood became clearer and clearer.

   Therefore, the marriage between her and Wu Chao, although it came a bit late, was just right.

  Only when all around is calm, he and she can truly accomplish this important life event with peace of mind.

  The new willow sprouts, after a spring rain, the leaves spread like smoke.

  In March, in the garden of the Dongyang Palace, clusters of tender yellow flowers bloomed one after another.

  Xu Mingyi’s box-adding banquet was set three days before the wedding.

  On this day, family, friends and guests came to the door, and the long queue of chariots and sedan chairs was out of sight, and almost the entire Qingyunfang was lined up.

  One by one, large and small boxes of gifts were sent to Xiyuan.

  Hundreds of box-adding gifts, Xu Mingyi couldn’t see them one by one, so he only asked Akui to pick out the closer ones according to the gift list.

  There are those from the Linyuan Grandfather’s family, the Cui family, the Dingnan Palace, the Long Princess’s Palace, the Yunyao Academy and so on.

  The two cousins ​​of the Cui family prepared their own gifts, and there was an embroidered screen among them.

   “I heard that it was embroidered by Qing girl, and I have been preparing for it for more than half a year.” Akui said beside her.

  Xu Mingyi looked at the red sun picture of cranes and green cypresses embroidered on the screen, and the golden red sun was particularly eye-catching, and could not help but smile: “Cousin Qing is interested.”

“The princess also prepared another gift, but the gift list didn’t seem to indicate what it was…” Akui held up the box that was sent with the red coral from the princess mansion. “The girl has to open it and take a look. ?”

  Xu Mingyi nodded, stretched out his hand to take it: “Give it to me.”

  It’s not a big box holding a heavy one. As soon as I opened it, I saw a stack of books inside.

  But on the cover of the book, half a word is missing, only a red plum is printed.

  What book is this?

  Xu Ming took out a book suspiciously, and turned a page at will——

   “……?!”

   Her eyes widened suddenly, her breath was suffocated, and she hurriedly closed the book tightly!

   Seeing that her girl’s expression was very strange, Akui couldn’t help but curiously asked: “Girl, is this a notebook?”

   “…Yes.” Xu Mingyi nodded reluctantly.

  Akui’s eyes are shining slightly-can the girl borrow her to have a look after reading it?

   Seeing through her mind at a glance, Xu Mingyi, who has always been considerate of the little girls, chose to be silent about this.

   just said: “Ask someone to put these things into the warehouse temporarily, I… take a nap.”

Akui didn’t doubt that she would respond to it. Seeing her girl holding the box and entering the inner room, she couldn’t help but become more greedy with the box. The girl would not let go, she must be very attractive. NS.

   entered the inner room, Xu Mingyi kicked off his shoes, got on the bed, and put down the tent again.

  Only in this way did I dare to reopen the box again.

  ”……”

  Rao was already prepared just now, and when he opened it at this time, he still felt deeply shocked.

  This clearly means……!

  Xie Jiaojiao actually gave her this openly!

  It was a loss because she didn’t ask others to see her, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be able to stay in this family because she hadn’t married yet!

  But… how does this look like the pamphlet that the grandma from the palace showed her the day before yesterday is different?

The pamphlet sent by   mother was full of overly straightforward illustrations. She only glanced at it briefly and then closed it——

  It’s not that I am embarrassed to see more…

  It’s the people on the picture, especially the men, who are mostly middle-aged men with sparse hair and two-handed beards. No matter how fat or thin or loose, there is no sense of beauty…

   is actually the kind that makes people reluctant to look at the second one at the first glance.

  Don’t talk about lust, and I’m afraid that I will lose my appetite when I look at it.

  Jiaojiao’s one is very different…

  As for what is different, she is still incomplete for the time being, in order to distinguish where the difference is…well, she has to study it carefully.

  So Ms. Xu sat cross-legged in the bed net, and looked at the booklet in her hand with the posture of looking through the policy theory.

  At this look, it was out of control.

  There are not only pictures and drawings in the book, but also texts, and the text is not only an explanation, but also a story!

  For example, this book is about a fox demon and scholar…

  The scholar painted a gentle and handsome figure, with a well-proportioned figure but with a sense of lines. The fox demon girl is even more charming and aura, and the fluffy fox ears are also delicate and charming. The two figures are looming through the gauze tent, and they are just right.

  There is no greasy feeling that makes people unbearable to look directly.

  More importantly, she saw that the pleasures of both parties are equal, not in the booklet sent by the mother. It is all women who please and cater to men, as if being a woman has nothing but obedience and patience——

  On this point, the things in her hands are worthy of being widely circulated among the female families.

  So, Xu Mingyi turned one volume after another, reading with gusto.

  Ahem, nothing can be done, the storyline is so attractive.

   Looking back, she has to ask Xie Jiaojiao—how can such a wonderful book of words be kept private until now that she wants to show it to her?

  And, is there anything else?

  In the next few days, Xu Mingyi did not go out again.

  It’s not the meaning of Cheng Riwo’s reading a notebook at home…

  At present, I have to stay with my family and talk more.

  The day before the wedding in the afternoon, he stayed in the Cui’s courtyard until the sky was getting dark.

  Xu Mingyi sat on the couch and ate honey tea, listening to the elders’ instructions.

  In addition to my mother, her second aunt is also there.

  In other words, since marrying into the Dongyang Palace, the most frequent place for the second aunt is here-playing horse cranes, which has become a daily thing for the two men and women to do.

  The second uncle also found her for this, and said earnestly to her that this was very different from the life he had imagined after marriage. The daughter-in-law went out early and returned late at night, and often could not see anyone in the whole day, so he treated him to the utmost perfunctory.

   also sighed with her and exhorted-Don’t want to learn from your second aunt, and throw it aside if you get it. A man’s heart can’t stand the cold.

  Looking at the grieving husband’s face, she didn’t know where to comfort her for a while.

  Now, the instructions of the mother and the second aunt are very different from the others.

  No one taught her how to teach her husband and son, how to be a princess, she only used past experience to teach her repeatedly, and how to live a life in order to be comfortable and happy.

  Especially the second aunt, it seems that she has forgotten that the person she is going to marry is her nephew, and she completely retains her position as her maiden aunt.

“Okay, I’ve said everything that should be said so many times… I have to do business tomorrow, Zhaozhao will go back and rest early.” Cui stopped talking and confessed: “Don’t catch a cold at night, and tomorrow too. Don’t get up too early, the maids will yell when the hour comes.”

   Xu Mingyi should come down.

  She went out of the inner room and went out again, but when she passed the window, she faintly heard the low sobbing and relief sounds in the inner room.

  Her ears have always been excellent, and it is easy to tell the cry of her own mother.

  Xu Mingyi’s heart is warm and astringent.

  After standing quietly under the window for a while, she just came out of the courtyard.

   did not return to Xiyuan, but went to the grandfather’s courtyard and stayed for more than half an hour.

   was also driven out by the old man and urged her to go back to sleep-and the old man also reminded her very delicately that if she doesn’t sleep well and her eyes are absent, it will not be beautiful.

  When she went, her father was also there, so the father and daughter left here together.

  Out of the yard, Xu Jin’s voice was extremely gentle and authentic: “The sky is completely dark, do you want Dad to send you back?”

  Xu Mingyi smiled and nodded: “Okay.”

  I’m not afraid, but which child doesn’t like having a father give it away.

  The father and daughter walked slowly, talking slowly.

  Seeing that Xiyuan was right in front of him, Xu Jin stopped and said with a smile: “Go back and rest earlier.”

   “Okay, so is my father.”

  Xu Mingyi just turned around, and suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him: “Zhao Zhao–“

She turned her head and saw the face that always carried a kind and lazy smile. At this time, she was serious, looking at her lovingly, and said: “If there is something wrong in the future, you must Remember to talk to your father and your grandfather.”

  Cough, of course, the main reason for venting depends on the old man.

   “That’s natural.” Xu Mingyi responded with a smile.

  She always likes to talk to her father very much, and her father is always very good at explaining complicated truths to her in the simplest and easy to understand vernacular.

  The influence of her father on her has never been less than that of her grandfather.

   Xu Mingyi watched the round figure walk away before turning back to the courtyard.

  If she didn’t expect it, she should still be waiting for one at this time.

  Sure enough——

  As soon as he entered the hall, he saw the blue-robed boy sitting there waiting.

  Obviously, this is the most difficult “to deal with”.

  Xu Mingyi consciously sat down and listened to the old mother’s advice.

  At the end of hearing, Xu Mingyi sighed slightly, looked at him, and asked seriously: “Tomorrow, otherwise I won’t marry, will I?”

  Mother secretly shed tears after she left.

  The gray-haired grandfather stood quietly on the porch and watched her go.

  All kinds of things made her feel that marrying is really a sad thing.

   “…!” Xu Mingshi was taken aback: “What nonsense are you talking about!”

  　My bag is opening a new book, quick look~

(Goodnight everybody.

  　　 I am here with a typhoon. It has been raining for two days. Some communities have power outages and are trembling. If you don’t see the update tomorrow, don’t worry, it’s probably due to a network outage, but I hope it won’t. )
