Chapter 338: Welcome to the poem
Since Mrs. Zhao was willing to finish the marriage as soon as possible, Cui Jianxuan and Du Shisanniang also had the same attitude. Although Du Shiyi initially decided to formally decide the marriage first, it was a matter of trouble. He was re-official and he did not want to cause trouble.
Therefore, since Du Shisanniang's dowry was fully prepared, he went to the Cui family in Yongfengfang again, and only slightly postponed the marriage to the next auspicious day in August. Therefore, this marriage, which seems to outsiders, is surprisingly progressing rapidly.
On the day of hair makeup, Du Shiyi sent the wedding invitation to relatives and friends early. So, from early morning, there were endless carriages and horses to send gifts to each household. Although the matter was hasty, Du Siwen, who was still in Chang'an, was old and weak, and it was impossible to take it immediately. However, Du Siwen's daughter, Princess Du, sent someone to add boxes to her niece, and gave four Shu brocades and a pair of jade bracelets.
When Du Shiyi learned the news, the rest of Du Shiyi, who was in Dongdu, saw that Du Shiyi was standing firmly, most of them received a gift, regardless of whether they were close or not. What surprised Du Shiyi was that Pei Ning, the proofreader, had never come to Chang'an, but he didn't know where the quick ears came from, but the gift was sent by his sister-in-law Wei.
The gifts he gave, who was serious and knowledgeable, did not look like they were given to women. A complete set of annotations for "Three Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period" was actually a handwritten copy, which was neatly placed in the book box, and four large boxes were packed. Du Shiyi knew that this was more valuable than any kind of gold and jade treasure, and could almost be used as a family heirloom for officials' families, so he was naturally very disgusted.
It’s a pity that Pei Ningren couldn’t take the time and he couldn’t refuse, so he had to accept it with a shame. Du Shisanniang was also very frightened, but after reading the letter Pei Ning sent her, she said that this was not given by him alone, but Lu Hong and his brothers representing Songshan’s ashed cottage, she suddenly realized and was naturally even more grateful.
In addition to these relatives and friends, Kaifu Yi and the third corps Song Jing, Shizhong Yuan Qianyao, Huangmen Minister Pei Cui, these elders who regard Du Shiyi as nephews in their later years, all the women in the family gave gifts of different value. Like Pei Ning, the Song family gave books, Yuan family gave two pottery inks, two purple rabbit hair pens, and Pei family had a fine gilded tent and a copper cage. However, before the dowry was about to go out, Wang Rong was finally late. She came on behalf of Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen, and brought Huo Qing into the door, and gently sent Huo Qing to the back to explore Du Shisanniang. Then she couldn't help but look at Du Shiyi carefully.
Du Shiyi had long thought that Wang Rong might come today. At this moment, seeing Qiu Niang bringing her maid and maid back with her, she personally stayed outside. He let out a sigh of relief and said, "I worry you."
"Since I know, I don't even have any information. If I hadn't persuaded the two noble masters, I'm afraid they would have entered the palace to plead for you three o'clock, just like the last time Wang Shisanlang was demoted. "The King could not help but be angry. Seeing Du Shiyi smiled helplessly, she said softly, "I know that something must have happened suddenly, and you can't help but come up with this bad strategy, but the risk is too great after all. If it weren't for the Duke of Chu who was lucky, he would have a stroke in the court. Many people thought he was wronged. In addition, you had occupied the right thing, and there were many people who were unfair for you. There were also high-ranking officials like Prince Pei, the Prime Minister of Song, Guoyuan, Guo, and Guo, who would have difficulty provoking the momentum. What I could do was just to let those scholars go to you to make a name."
"It turns out that those ink rolls that almost piled up in the room came because of this." Du Shiyi suddenly burst into laughter and felt aroused for a moment. So he stretched out his hand and gently held her hand. "It is because he knows that you are on the side of Princess Golden Immortal that I don't have to worry so much."
"No wonder people give you nickname now, and they fight to the death. "Wang Rong burst into laughter. Seeing Du Shiyi seemed a little surprised, she explained with a smile, "People say that you are like eating the courage of a bear heart and leopard, and you dare to sacrifice any fatal things and cases. Fortunately, if you encounter any trouble, you can turn bad luck into good luck, and there is no better luck than you."
"Luck... It turns out that others think it's luck." Du Shiyi shrugged and smiled disconcertedly, "Well, it makes people think that I turned bad luck into good luck, that's the best."
"Yes, it's better than being bold and bold, Du Shijiu listened," Wang Rong blinked and joked, and then said happily, "The two noble masters like Shisanniang very much, so the gifts given by him are naturally very rich. A set of Yue kiln celadon, a set of Xing kiln white porcelain, in addition two boxes of jewelry, ten pieces of Shu brocade, ten pieces of Bozhou light-hearted, and in addition, lampstands, screens, palace fans and other decorations and utensils."
"You have never advised the two noble masters not to be so arrogant?"
Although Du Shiyi told the emperor that he would do his best to marry a girl, he would not really show off his dowry. More practical things like land deeds and real estate stores are thin pieces of paper that can't be seen in the box. As for the gold, it was even more hidden in the camphor wood box. Seeing his puzzled face, Wang Rong couldn't help but smile.
"The Cheng Yi who was given to you by the two nobles was so generous. Now you won't be so stingy that you marry a girl. Don't worry, there will be no thief who will run to the Cui family in Yongfengli to rob."
"You, you..."
Du Shiyi shook his head helplessly. He didn't know that Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian were just love the house and the wool. In addition, Du Shisanniang was so kind and cute, so he took action so generous. Thinking that the gift had been delivered to the door, there was no room for refusal. He sighed in his heart that the favor was getting bigger and bigger, but he asked: "After that, the two nobles gave me the medicinal materials, cloth, mules and horses, but now they are still in the warehouse. In addition, I have given many of them to Jiang Silang, but I have given them a lot. I can't leave them all. Now that you are here, why don't you help me think of a solution?"
Giving these practical Cheng Yi was the idea of Princess Jinxian at the beginning, and Wang Rong praised it as a wonderful thing, but now Du Shiyi finally doesn’t have to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to Lingnan to go to the bitter and evil places. They are all stored at home, and it will be difficult to deal with when returning to Chang'an in the future.
Therefore, she just thought about it and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you might as well donate it in your name. Before, when the respectful teacher and the temple master mentioned that the Sima Sect Master who was finally leaving Chang'an, they always sighed. Instead, they mentioned that they had created another Taoist temple in a quiet place like Wangwu Mountain to worship the sect master. It would be better to donate these things to Jinglong Temple of Chongrenfang where the sect master Sima lived."
"So that's it. That's where I got the Sima Sect Master Yucheng. I finally enjoyed the stars and fireflies with you. I should give a lot of donations."
"It's really worth seeing. Everyone thinks that Du Langjun is honest and upright, but it turns out that there are times when he is slick. Although giving is an old saying, there are more and more Buddhists now, so it is almost exclusively for Buddhist believers. What do you say to Taoist temples? Be careful that others will give you a look.
The two of them looked at me and finally laughed at the same time. After all, Wang Rong was still an unmarried girl, no more than Du Shiyi's face and a little bit of a giggle. She gave him a blank look and said she wanted to see Du Shisanniang. She hurried out of the main hall. As soon as she left the door, Qiu Niang crossed the threshold. Although she had nurtured the Du brother and sister, she lost her husband and children, now she has to rely on her again, and her spirit is naturally speechless as before. She has always disliked people who talk too much. Even though she knew that Du Shiyi and Wang Rong had different secrets, she had just heard some words and didn't ask any questions at this moment.
"Mr. Can you wear makeup?"
"Yeah, make up"
When he was young, his parents died, but only a sick brother, who is now going to marry into the Cui family of Qinghe, a top family of one of the five surnames and seven hopes. Du Shisanniang's experience seemed to be like another legend in the insiders. When the news of the marriage was announced, I don't know how many beautiful ladies from the family were envious. Therefore, there were countless onlookers on the day of hair makeup. On the day when the groom greeted him the next day, there were not many people joining in the fun in front of Du's house. When the man's mighty group arrived at the door of Du's house, Cui Jianxuan held his head and walked straight into Du Shisanniang's boudoir. Facing the servants and maids of Du's house who were smiling and blocking the way, everyone started to cheer and ask the man to urge him to make up. He couldn't help but look at him, but then he laughed.
"Isn't it just a poem to urge makeup? Wang Shiwulang, it depends on you now."
It turned out to be Wang Jin
Cui Jianxuan didn't expect that Wang Jin would suddenly arrive in the eastern capital Luoyang silently. Because this marriage had to be handled quickly, all elegant activities such as makeup urging poems were originally omitted, but now Du Shiyi can stay at the door, so he can't be careless. Therefore, he had to hurry to find talented people everywhere to help him. Fortunately, when he became an ant on the hot pan, Wang Jin took the initiative to come to the door and just wanted to be Wang Wei's younger brother. He didn't want to immediately pull someone as a minister.
"Tonight, the Weaver Girl descended to the world and was free to face the mirror. She had her own peach blossoms and lotus faces, and she did not need to be dirty with makeup."
As soon as this poem urged to make up, praise and cheers came from the servants and maids around him. But just as Cui Jianxuan felt relieved and was waiting proudly for others to make way for him to welcome the bride, a lazy voice came from behind those people: "The courtyard is deeply locked in the exquisiteness, and the phoenix and phoenix are lying in the wutong tree. If you don't know Cui Lang's face, don't let bees and butterflies enter the flowers."
When he heard this sound, he saw the people standing in front of the crowd. Cui Jianxuan, who was originally energetic, shivered immediately. He almost pulled Wang Jin's sleeve and lowered his voice and said, "Wang Shiwulang, please cheer up. That is my senior brother Lu Wangzhi, who is the most hidden. Unexpectedly, he came. I didn't even get any news in advance."
When Cui Jianxuan was hurriedly reminding Wang Jin, Du Shiyi stood behind him. Seeing Lu Wangzhi holding his hands and blocking the door of the boudoir with confidence, he couldn't help laughing. Cui Jianxuan somehow could have invited Wang Jin to go out, but he also had a helper to deliver the door to him.
