"The imperial items should be added to the five rooms of the Xiangfu. Except for the five rooms of the Xiangfu, the other rooms of the Xiangfu do not dare to use the imperial items as dowry."
Kou Ji smiled calmly.
Liu Heng recalled the identity of Xiangfu's fifth room, so he didn't say much.
Chuma arrived at the door of Xiangfu.
The servants of Xiangfu had stood neatly at the gate of the mansion.
The housekeeper of Xiangfu, led by the housekeeper, shouted together: "Please dismount the new uncle..."
Kou Ji jumped off his horse and tidied his clothes.
He shouted to the servants again: "Please come into the house, the new uncle."
Liu Heng and Cao Tong jumped off their horses one after another, strutting forward to help Kou Ji clear the way.
Kou Ji followed their feet into Xiangfu.
As soon as I stepped into the door, I heard the servants of the mansion bow and salute: "I have seen my uncle..."
Kou Ji smiled calmly: "Reward..."
The servants of the Kou Mansion, who followed Kou Ji, stepped forward with their bags and rewarded the servants of the Xiang Mansion.
This time, it was not coins, but silver leaves.
After the servants of Xiangfu received the reward, they all smiled and bowed again: "Thank you, my uncle for the reward..."
After taking the reward, Xiangfu’s housekeeper led the three Kou Ji all the way to the courtyard where Xiang Yan’s boudoir was located.
A group of grandmothers from Xiangfu stood at the door, asking Kou Ji for a reward.
Kou Ji asked the servants of Kou Mansion to send them rewards.
Opened the courtyard door.
Xiang Yan's aunts and sisters were standing in the yard with a smile, and salute Kou Ji together.
Kou Ji also responded one by one.
After Kou Ji asked the servants of Kou Mansion to give them ten pieces of golden leaf happy money.
They ordered the weapon to be taken out from behind, and they rushed over with a smile like a chicken thief.
Liu Heng and Cao Tong looked at each other, greeted them, blocked the sticks, and opened the way for Kou Ji.
As Cao Tong said before, most of the sticks in the hands of the family members of Xiangfu fell on them.
Except for the little sister Xiangjia carrying a feather duster and pulling Kou Ji's buttocks in a wicked way, the other Xiangfu female relatives didn't move Kou Ji at all.
Kou Ji ran all the way to the door of Xiang Yan's boudoir.
The little sister Xiangjia wanted to chase and continue to fight, but was stopped by the second sister Xiangjia.
Little Sister Xiang Jia could only grinned her teeth at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji didn't bother to care about her.
Outside of Xiang Yan's boudoir, she was stopped by Xiang Yan's eldest wife and insisted that Kou Ji sing pretending poems in accordance with the rules.
Kou Ji had prepared well and sang a few poems on the spot.
The eldest wife Xiang Yan was not satisfied, "Sister-in-law, these few poems of your pretensions are plagiarized by others. I am a scholar in Xiangfu, if you don’t make a pretensions poem by yourself, how can you get into Yan'er? boudoir?"
Kou Ji smiled bitterly, thought for a while, made a not-so-tidy limerick, and entered the door of Xiang Yan's boudoir in the disgusting eyes of the sister-in-law Xiang Yan.
Xiangfu is a scholarly family. Not only the princes and ladies in the mansion can literate and hyphenate, but most of the female relatives who are married to Xiangfu are also women who have just learned.
The little ink in Kou Ji's belly is naturally not enough in the eyes of Mrs. Xiang Yan.
However, they did not deliberately embarrass Kou Ji, otherwise Kou Ji might not even be able to enter the door of Xiangfu today.
Entered the door of the boudoir.
Kou Ji saw Xiang Yanfu crying in the arms of an older woman.
Xiangfu Saburo Xiangjing stood aside.
Xiang Minzhong and Mrs. Xiang sat on the seats in the room.
There were two old mothers at the door. Seeing Kou Ji broke into the boudoir, they reached out and stopped.
The woman who was comforting Xiang Yan hurriedly whispered a few words in Xiang Yan's ear, and then helped Xiang Yan cover her head.
The two grandmothers at the door let Kou Ji get started.
Kou Ji entered the room, looking at Xiang Minzhong sitting on the north seat, slightly startled.
"Grandpa Xiang... You are..."
Kou Ji looked at Xiang Minzhong, his face flushed slightly, and asked with confusion.
When he saw Xiang Minzhong three days ago, Xiang Minzhong still looked dying.
See you today. Although Xiang Minzhong still looks weak, he is clearly out of his dying state. Not only can he sit on the seat alone, but he also has some blood on his face.
Is it back to light
Or is Xiang Minzhong's breath relieved
Xiang Minzhong scowled, and shouted in a low breath, "You still haven't changed your mouth?"
Kou Ji was stunned, bowed and said: "I have seen grandfather-in-law... grandmother-in-law..."
Xiang Minzhong grinned, his smile especially bright.
Mrs. Xiang who was sitting on the side also smiled, her smile a little stiff.
When Xiang Minzhong smiled and took out a box and handed it to Kou Ji, the smile on Madam Xiang's face became even more rigid.
Lieutenant Xiang Min handed a sandalwood box with a delicate lock to Kou Ji, and said with a soft smile: "Smelly boy, this is what the old man promised you."
Kou Ji picked up the box, fiddled with the box in his hand in Madam Xiang's painful expression, and then handed it back to Xiang Minzhong.
The smile on Xiang Minzhong's face froze, and his look was ugly: "Why? I don't like it? Or do you really want to ask the old man for three times the dowry?"
Kou Ji smiled indifferently, "I really don't like it. As for the triple dowry, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously. I care more about your body than these things."
When Xiang Minzhong heard this, the look on his face looked a little better. He stared at Kou Ji and said with emotion: "In this world, the person who regards this old man's remnant body as more important than money, I am afraid that you are the only one left. .
The old man is fine...
I didn't know what happened yesterday, and I was always excited when I knew that you and Yan'er were about to get married.
The excitement stayed up all night.
This morning, I vomited blood.
The doctor in the house came over and showed the old man, and said that the old man's tone eased.
You can live a little longer. "
After a pause, Xiang Minzhong said cheerfully: "The old man also borrowed the joy of your marriage to Yan'er before he survived Mingjun's summons."
Hearing this, Kou Ji was also happy for Xiang Minzhong. He smiled and said, "You are fine..."
Xiang Minzhong nodded and held up the box again.
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled.
Seeing this, Madam Xiang hurriedly snatched the box from Xiang Minzhong, hugged it in her arms, and smiled: "Since your grandson-in-law won't accept it, you should not give it to him."
Xiang Minzhong stared angrily, trying to slap the table.
Kou Ji shook his head at him.
Xiang Minzhong gave a long sigh and stopped talking.
Kou Ji walked to Xiang Jing's side, took out a gold ingot from his arms, gave it to him, and said with a smile: "I have third brother Lao."
Xiang Jing said with a bright smile: "Brother-in-law is polite..."
Kou Ji arrived in front of Xiang Yan, bowed and said with a smile: "Please take the lady into the sedan chair..."
Kou Ji invited three times, and criedly declined Xiang Yan three times.
Xiang Jing got to the bed, carried Xiang Yan on his back, followed Kou Ji, and left Xiang Yan's boudoir.
Out of Xiangfu.
Liu Heng and Cao Tong led a group of servants and shouted excitedly: "The bride gets on the sedan chair..."
The bearer lowered Jiaozi, and Xiang Jing sent Xiang Yan into the sedan chair.
Xiang Yan's mother, holding a basin of water, spilled out of the house when Xiang Yan got on the sedan chair.
When Kou Ji saw this scene, his heart was agitated.
"Daughter who married out, throw out the water?"
Kou Ji whispered in his heart, he pushed away the servant who was going to support him on the horse, turned over and sat on the horse's back.
He bowed his hands to those who were weeping at the gate of the mansion.
Kou Ji shouted: "Go home!"
Liu Heng and Cao Tong crossed their horses to clear the way, Kou Ji rode a horse behind them, and Xiang Yan followed them in a sedan chair.
On both sides of Xiang Yan's sedan chair, she followed her close maid and nurse.
Behind the sedan chair are the servants of Xiangfu.
They carried the things that Xiangfu was married to, and followed behind the sedan chair in a blink of an eye.
On the way back.
Liu Heng intentionally took the team to greet the relatives around the city of Bianjing a few more times, but Kou Ji refused.
Kou Ji instructed Liu Heng to take a short cut to the Kou Mansion with the welcoming team.
Go back to the entrance of Kou Mansion again.
The entrance of Kou Mansion was crowded with people.
Yu Qianwei runs from the street to the end of the alley.
Firecrackers spread all over the entrance of Kou's Mansion.
The corner of Kou Ji's mouth twitched and asked Kou Zhong, who came to help him lead the horse, "Didn't you say that you don't want to make a big deal? What about so many firecrackers?"
The corner of Kou Zhong's mouth twitched, and he whispered: "When the official came here, it was the official who ordered the firecrackers to be laid. It was the official himself... If it weren't for the master and the prince to stop him, the official wanted to get some medicine from the palace. Send puppets here."
Kou Ji said dumbfoundedly: "What is this?"
Kou Zhong smiled helplessly: "Who knows... He proposed to lay firecrackers in public, and the lord and princes are not good at stopping him."
Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully.
Under Kou Ji's gaze, Zhao Zhen, dressed in plain clothes, lit a firecracker with incense in front of Kou's mansion.
The firecracker exploded in an instant.
The entrance of Kou's Mansion was instantly caught in gunpowder smoke and explosions.
The firecrackers in front of Kou's Mansion were only exploded in two full minutes.
Liu Heng and Cao Tong were already overthrown by a fierce horse.
Only Kou Ji **'s emasculated horse, under Kou Zhong's restraint, stood restlessly in place.
"It's really frantic..."
Kou Ji looked at the Kou Mansion covered by gunpowder, and sighed dumbly.
Zhao Zhen probably had a lot of thoughts to play with firecrackers a long time ago, but he has never found a chance.
Now that he bumped into such an opportunity to block everyone's mouth, of course he had to be presumptuous.
Until the smoke clears.
Kou Jicai led the welcoming team along the alley to the entrance of Kou's Mansion.
People gathered at the entrance of Kou's Mansion.
Most of them are irrelevant people, Kou Ji did not see a few familiar faces among them.
While the officials of the Ministry of Rites sang praises, Kou Ji led Xiang Yan down the sedan chair with a red silk with a big red flower tied in the middle.
After entering the mansion gate, bypassing the shadow wall, and stepping over the brazier placed in the middle of the courtyard.
The two of them arrived in the main hall.
On the main hall.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhungao live in Zhengbei.
Wang Zeng, Li Di, Wang Shu and others are on the left, and Cao Lili, Cao Wei, Gao Chugong and others are on the right, sitting respectively.
Officials below Grade 2 basically have no seats in the main hall of the Kou Mansion.
They either stood on the corners of the main hall, or watched the excitement on both sides of the main hall.
Because Kou Ji got married in a hurry and Kou Li could not be there, Kou Zhun took the lead and witnessed the marriage of the two as an elder.
As for Zhao Zhen, he was purely here to join in the fun.
But due to his identity, he must have a place in the main seat.
In Kou Zhun’s benevolent smile and Zhao Zhen’s frowning laughter, Kou Ji took Xiang Yan to the main hall and knelt down.
Officials from the Ministry of Etiquette came forward again and sang a long string of auspicious words.
Then under the auspices of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.
Kou Ji and Xiang Yan began to worship heaven and earth.
Others get married and worship the heaven and earth in three prayers, but Kou Ji's marriage is different.
Fully worshipped five times.
Because Zhao Zhen was sitting in the hall, he couldn't help but worship.
But the four prayers were not auspicious, so the Book of Rites added another prayer.
After worshiping heaven and earth.
Zhao Zhen sternly said with a majestic expression: "Declaration..."
Chen Lin walked to the middle of the hall with a scroll of imperial decree.
"Announce..."
Chen Lin unfolded the imperial edict and shouted loudly.
Except for Zhao Zhen in the hall, everyone else got up and stood bowed.
Chen Lin preached: "I will... Specially enter Kou Xiang Shiyan as the fifth-ranking wife... and give the fifth-ranking service..."
After Chen Lin read the imperial decree, Kou Ji led Xiang Yan to thank her.
A small eunuch brought the clothing to Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan changed hands and handed it to the close maid beside her.
After thanking him again, Kou Ji led Xiang Yan out of the hall and arrived at Sijun Garden.
Today, Kou Ji’s wedding, the Sijun Garden has changed from its former quietness and become very lively.
There are people guarding both inside and outside the park.
Red silk is hung everywhere, looking very happy.
Kou Ji sent Xiang Yan to rest in the main room in the garden.
Only then came out of Sijunyuan to treat guests.
When Kou Ji reappeared in the hall, Kou Zhong announced the opening of the table.
The servants of the Kou Mansion led the guests to sit in the gardens of the Kou Mansion, and then a maid sent to the banquet.
When Kou Ji arrived in the hall, Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun and others sat in a seat.
Kou Ji spoke with them for a while, and accepted their respective gifts.
Among them, Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun gave the most expensive gifts.
Zhao Zhen gave Kou Ji eighteen treasures, all of which were selected from the inner library in the palace, each of which was invaluable.
Kou Guiding generously handed the key to Kou Mansion's treasury to Kou Ji, and threatened that Kou Mansion would be in charge of Kou Ji in the future.
Kou Ji repeatedly declined, but Kou Zhun insisted on handing the key to Kou Mansion's treasury to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji couldn't help but Kou Zhun, so he could only accept the key to the warehouse.
Wang Zeng, Li Di and others mostly gave away celebrity calligraphy and paintings, while Cao Li, Cao Wei and others gave some jewellery and jade.
These gifts are all valuable.
In addition, the officials outside the door who joined in the fun also gave a lot of valuable gifts.
All in all, Kou Ji, accompanied by Liu Heng and Cao Tong, swung around during the dinner and received countless gifts.
Not only people in official circles, but also many people in shopping malls.
The second owner of Mu's family who had visited Kou's Mansion once gave Kou Ji a volume of deeds as a gift.
Kou Ji took a closer look and found that it was a deed of a member of Jiaozipu in the middle of Shu. It was a real member, not the kind of fake member that Liu's family had transferred to Kou Ji before.
After Kou Ji finished his transfer from the reception, it was already late.
The guests in the main seat of the hall had already left the Kou Mansion after Kou Zhun and Kou Zhong were sent off.
Kou Ji didn't need to see off the guests anymore, so when it was getting late, he walked towards Sijun Garden with the support of Liu Heng and Cao Tu...
