Chapter 296 Marriage

The people in Beijing were very angry about Murong Jie's marriage.

Because he had a marriage contract with Xia Zi'an, and now Xia Zi'an's body has not been found, so he got married.

However, Murong Jie was also the hero who put down the zombie disease, so everyone couldn't bear to criticize him, and even some people took the initiative to defend him, saying that he was helpless, after all, the empress dowager gave him a marriage, how could he disobey him?

The eyes of the common people were diverted. A queen mother who had been declared dead came back alive, which made everyone feel extremely strange.

However, some old people said that everything that happened to the Queen Mother Long was not considered weird. As long as such a weird thing had something to do with her, it would be logical and reasonable.

Anyway, among various voices, Murong Jie is getting married.

Murong Zhuangzhuang and Chen Liuliu are the most grievous, but what can they do?

Liu Liu complained to Chen Taijun, "Grandmother, you said before that you asked your brothers to protect Zi'an, but Zi'an didn't come back, and your brothers didn't know where he went. What's going on?"

Chen Taijun smiled, "Silly girl, you have to be calm to achieve great things, maybe in the end, everything will come true?"

"Unless Zian comes back, how can I get my wish? I don't believe it."

"Maybe come back?"

Liu Liu said, "Grandma, do you know something, but don't say it?"

Chen Taijun smiled and said nothing.

Liu Liu looked at her, and whenever she showed this expression, it meant that she had something to say.

On the day of the wedding, there was a lot of excitement in Beijing.

Because, early in the morning, the emperor's list was posted, announcing to the world that the regent was married, all farmers were exempted from taxes for half a year, and merchants were reduced in taxes and fees for half a year.

If there are benefits, people will be able to stabilize the hearts of the people. The demands of the common people are very simple, nothing more than you give me money, or you don't want to take my money away.

Once the empress dowager made this move, all kinds of voices were calmed down, so it can be seen that silver is a very useful thing, especially if it is not her own silver.

Yin Yi's decree explained that the adults are required to bring generous gifts to congratulate, what is the definition of this generous gift? There is no definition, but if you want to bring a chicken or a jar of wine, it is too mean.

Obviously slapped the Empress Dowager in the face.

Some officials didn't know, so they went to ask the old matriarch. After all, the old matriarch was a female general who was single-handedly promoted by the empress dowager. She should know the temperament of the empress dowager.

The old lady Junman said: "As for you to give away, it's hard to say, I'm giving you money."

"silver?"

The old lady nodded, "Yes, money is the most practical. As far as I know, the Empress Dowager is a very pragmatic person, and she doesn't like fancy gifts very much."

"In the past, gifts were always given in silver? How much is appropriate?"

There was a treacherous light in the eyes of the old matriarch, "If it is suitable, you can give as much as you want. A penny is suitable, a tael of silver is suitable, a hundred taels is also suitable, and a thousand taels is more suitable."

"Understood, understood." The officials retreated one after another.

In addition to banqueting officials, they also hosted rich people in Beijing and China.

The so-called rich people are naturally not considered rich if they open a store in central Beijing. Only big tycoons like the Hu family and Liang family are invited.

Hu Huanxi set an example and sent 10,000 taels of silver to the Prince Regent's Mansion, where he was honored as a guest of honor.

Thus, there were fifteen thousand to twenty thousand followers, all of whom hoped to be the honored guest of the Prince Regent's Palace.

Naturally, the officials did not dare to send too much. The old lady said that one thousand taels of silver, if it was too much, would be suspected of corruption. After all, one thousand taels of silver was already a lot.

However, most of the affected ones are those officials who have a small heart in their hearts. The ones who really have a breeze in their sleeves really went with a chicken, okay, a generous gift, right? Bring an extra basket of eggs.

Xiao Tuo lost his temper and refused to go to the wedding banquet, it was Xiao Xiao who dragged him over, reprimanded him while going, "If others don't go, you should go too, you don't know that the prince is helpless, why are you playing with your temper?"

Xiao Tuo said aggrievedly: "He should marry Xia Zi'an. Although I don't like Xia Zi'an very much, no one is worthy of being the regent princess except her."

"You don't know who the other party is, so you dare to say this?" Xiao Xiao snorted.

"No one can afford it, she is the only one." Xiao Tuo thought for a while, and was very unwilling, "Why did the Empress Dowager do this? What's the benefit of forcing the prince to get married? There are so many things in Beijing now, Xia Huaijun The Prime Minister's Mansion has only died of an old lady, so you plan to let it go?"

The zombie disease brought out by the director of Xiangfu has killed so many people, Xia Zian also went to sell salted duck eggs, but he failed to deal with Xiangfu and asked the prince to get married. I don't know what that means.

"It's not that I don't deal with it, isn't this dealing with it? Xia Huaijun is such a crime?" Xiao Xiao said angrily.

Xiao Tuo's complexion got better now, "Have you caught up with Chen Linglong? She took away the money from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it all belonged to Zi'an. How can we explain to her when Zi'an comes back?"

Xiao Xiao stopped, frowned and looked at him, "Xiao Tuo, you are not young anymore, don't think so simple, Xia Zian will not come back, and you don't want to talk about Xia Zian in front of the prince, everyone is in a bad mood today It won't be good, just make do with it."

Xiao Tuo didn't speak anymore, but he felt very depressed. He was looking forward to Xia Zi'an's return. No matter whether her chance of surviving was zero or high, no one found her body.

Well, it's possible to get eaten by a big fish.

The officials of the Inner Palace and the Ministry of Rituals have been running thin in the past few days, receiving guests, receiving gifts, recording, and arranging matters. People from the Hu's house came early, the tables and chairs for the banquet were arranged in advance, and the red lanterns Hanging high, except for the noble concubine.

According to etiquette and customs, lanterns should also be hung in the courtyard of the noble concubine, after all, she is married to a daughter-in-law.

But the noble concubine actually told the people in the Ministry of Rites that someone died here not long ago, and the red lanterns were not hung, and the people in the Ministry of Rites were thrown out.

As a last resort, the internal affairs staff had no choice but to post a piece of red paper on the big tree outside Qingning Pavilion, which was regarded as a happy meeting.

Murong Jie was restrained by the eunuchs in the palace, put on make-up and changed clothes, everyone was comforted to see the iceberg man who was originally dressed in black turned into a glowing red lai see, the prince is really handsome, Moreover, the red color and the iceberg face look good together.

The head of the inner palace roared hoarsely, coming in and out like a spinning top, commanding the guard of honor to receive the guests at the door.

The auspicious time is noon, and it is almost noon. It was agreed before that the bride will arrive at noon, so the head of the inner palace is so nervous.

The weird thing about this wedding is that all the guests only have solemn expressions instead of festive faces. Everyone is waiting for the empress dowager besides the bride.

will she come

Of course, not so many people want her to come. After all, this ancestor's wrist is very powerful. If you catch him and tell you the truth, you will have a bad life in the future.

Amid all the chaos, a burst of firecrackers sounded at the gate of the Prince Regent's Mansion, and then, the guard of honor played Fengqiuhuang.

Here comes the bride!
