The emperor conferred marriage, although the step of "seeing relatives" can be avoided, but the three books and six rituals have to be followed step by step.
The so-called six ceremonies refer to accepting the adoption, asking the name, accepting the Ji, accepting the levy, asking for the period, and welcoming in person. The government of Zhenguo was quick to act, and the next day, he found the most famous matchmaker in Kyoto to come to the door.
If an ordinary family proposes a marriage, it can still be difficult, but this is a marriage granted by a saint, and now all this is nothing more than a charter.
The matchmaker knocked on the door with a wild goose in hand, entered the Shangshu Mansion, and after asking the name, wrote the eight characters of the birthday on the Geng post. The matchmaker's move is to go back and figure out whether the two children are in conflict with each other.
It was all a cutscene, only these eight characters, it was worthwhile for the eldest princess to find someone herself.
Shen Zhen, Bingxu year, April 26, Gengwu.
Lu Yan, in the nineteenth year, the twenty-fifth of October, Xin Si.
Lao Dao raised his head and smiled at the eldest princess: "Your Highness, rest assured, these two characters are auspicious, and a first-class marriage."
The eldest princess' eyes curved, "Really?"
Lao Dao nodded, "How dare a poor Dao fool His Highness."
After matching the eight characters, according to the rules, the government of Zhenguo also had to select two sons with official positions from the same clan as "messengers" to send intermarriage documents and dowry gifts to the Shen family.
These two people are naturally Lu Yan's two brothers - Lu Ting and Lu Ye.
The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was very powerful, and Lu Ting and Lu Ye dragged a long queue to reach Yongning Square early in the morning, which provoked the people in the neighborhood, and they all stretched out their heads to visit.
After this, the levy is considered over.
Shen Wenqi looked at the nanmu boxes of different sizes with colorful threads in front of him, and the imperial decree for promotion, and suddenly thought of what Eunuch Sheng said when he passed the imperial decree - "Shen Shangshu has been seriously injured, this is the case. You don't have to go to court for a few days, just rest at home for a while."
Now, let him rest for a few more days at the mansion, isn't it just to open the door for his nephew
Shen Wenqi's breath was stuck in his heart, and he couldn't get up or down.
In the past few days, the only thing that made Shen Wenqi feel relieved was that Princess Jing'an came to the Shangshu Mansion in person.
Princess Jing'an is a royal, and her status is noble, so she doesn't need to say much. If she doesn't come, the Shen family can't pick on it, but when she comes, it will give the Shen family enough face.
And during the conversation, Shen Wenqi could see that the eldest princess liked Shen Zhen somewhat.
Shen Wenqi rubbed his brows and said, "Mother An, call Zhen'er to me."
An Mama responded and went out exclusively.
After a while, Shen Zhen pushed open the door, walked into the house, and whispered, "Aye."
Shen Wenqi patted the round stool in front of him, "Come here, sit down."
Shen Zhen sat down honestly and put his hands on his knees.
Seeing her appearance, Shen Wenqi couldn't help taking a long breath.
Why is it the township government
Why is it Lu Yan
Although Shen Wenqi and Lu Yan are quite different in age, they have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, so Shen Wenqi is actually no stranger to his future son-in-law.
The exact intersection, there are two times.
The first time, because of official business.
The Ministry of Works has always been the most expensive and labor-intensive, so every time a major project is undertaken, the sage will assign a rank-4 or higher official to supervise it. Among them, the prime minister, eunuch supervisor, general supervisor, Jing Zhao Yin, Jing Zhao Shao Yin and so on.
In the spring of the 14th year of Yuanqing, the sage ordered Shen Wenqi to build the royal tomb. Lu Yan was the junior supervisor of the Shaofu that year, and the sage just ordered him to supervise it, and the two worked together for a few months.
In the eyes of Shen Wenqi at the time, although the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo was a little indifferent, he was considered to be both talented and handsome, and he was serious and responsible in doing things.
At least not like Xu Bolin, who doesn't understand anything, but is a good hand at pointing.
So far, Shen Wenqi's impression of him can be regarded as "good".
Speaking of which, I have to talk about the second time.
