Chapter 170 Good times

The palace of Gaoyang County Prince was foggy, and many people were cleaning the yard, and the air was filled with dust.

Zhu Gaoxu was walking on the eaves, watching the eunuchs and palace maids working there, and officials from the clan mansion came in and out, busy posting paper-cut couplets and bringing people to move things into the gatehouse.

Several palace maids from the palace took down the rag from the window and bowed their knees together to salute.

Zhu Gaoxu asked: Whose palace maid are you?

A palace maid said: Go back to the prince, I used to be the palace maids of Kunning Palace.The Empress said that there were few people in the prince's mansion and there were not enough people to serve the princess of the county, so she sent some servants over.

Oh... Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

He continued to walk around the mansion, feeling very strange, as if marriage had nothing to do with him, and it was all taken care of by others.

I heard that someone would come to teach him etiquette and that kind of knowledge, but no one paid attention to him at the moment.

To this day, Zhu Gaoxu only knows that the person he wants to marry is Wuding Hou's granddaughter and surnamed Guo.

I don't know anything other than that, I don't know what kind of person I look like, nor what kind of person I am.

Of course, he cannot decide the candidate for his wife.

Zhu Gaoxu had long known that marriage was for his parents' fate, and even the vassal kings and even the emperors were almost no exception. Zhu Gaoxu had long given up resisting, and at this time he did not want to challenge the established system.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a eunuch wiping his tears secretly, and he walked up and asked: Why are you crying?

The eunuch turned around and was shocked. Then several officials around him also knelt on the ground.

The eunuch who was crying secretly said: I know my guilt, King Gaoyang is very happy. I shouldn’t have disturbed your joy, and my sins are unforgivable...

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said: I just asked you why you were crying?

The eunuch kowtowed and said: My servant’s godfather is Wu Zhong. Because he was a member of Emperor Jianwen, he was imprisoned in the imperial prison and will be executed in the next few days.As I do my job, I can't help but think that my godfather is a good person. He used to protect his sons, but his fate was so miserable.I thought that the result of my own was probably the same. I was burned and threw it into the wasteland, so I couldn't help but shed a few tears. I didn't mean it...

I have seen Wu Zhong, a very kind eunuch.Zhu Gaoxu said, don’t cry first.I know Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei. Since your godfather is imprisoned in the imperial prison, Ji Gang should be in charge.I will go to him later and ask if I can save my life. If I can't, I will get a good meal for your godfather before the execution.You have also calculated your filial piety.

The eunuch was stunned and came to his senses after a while. The prince was not busy with a happy thing. Do you want to do this in person?

Do you think I'm busy?Zhu Gaoxu spread his robe and said.

The eunuch immediately knelt down on the ground and thanked him for his gratitude.

Zhu Gaoxu helped him up, glanced at the eunuchs who were bent over and watching, and said loudly, "This is a small matter for me, but a big matter for you."Besides, you are looking for me, and I don’t want to come forward for small matters. How can you let everyone point to me in the future?

The eunuch hurriedly said: Thank you, Prince, treat us as human beings, and I will be a cow and a horse to repay the prince’s great kindness...

So Zhu Gaoxu took a kid and went straight to the Qianbulang Jinyiwei Yamen to find Ji Gang.

Ji Gang was very happy to sell his favor in front of Zhu Gaoxu, and said that he would only give it to him and send Fengyang to guard the tomb first, so he would definitely not die!

Even Ji Gang dared to promise even the eunuchs around Jianwen?Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that Ji Gang had received favors beyond his imagination and was very brave.

After doing this, Zhu Gaoxu returned to the county prince’s mansion to have dinner, bathe and change clothes, and finally got the day off.

He felt irritable and uneasy at this time, and had no mood to have fun, nor was he in the mood to do serious things, and had been thinking about the bride for several days... Although he had thought of obeying his parents' arrangements before, he still felt that it was not a bad thing to marry easily; but when things were about to come, he was still a little nervous.

After all, this is a first wife, and she is considered a very close person. In ancient times, it would take a lifetime to get married without any accidents. How is it not important?

What can Zhu Gaoxu do if he gets a girl with a round figure and tells him that such a girl is easy to raise?

The key is that Guo was chosen by Empress Xu himself. Zhu Gaoxu didn’t believe that mother-in-law would find a beautiful daughter-in-law.This is the reason why he was worried, and he never had much hope for this matter.

By midnight, Zhu Gaoxu tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.He had no conditions to choose what kind of person he married in his previous life; now he was a prince, but he had no choice, and suddenly he was a little unwilling to accept it.

……

The people from the Zongren Mansion went to the Guo Mansion to send the dowry issued by the emperor. The officials took the list and read it in front of Guo Ming. It took half an hour to read the list and drank three cups of tea.

The royal family is indeed a big deal, and Guo Wei is dizzy when she hears it in the partition.When the things were counted one after another and then delivered in, she was even more dazzled and had never seen many things before.

There are red sandalwood, yellow rosewood furniture, and many boxes with countless colors of silk, satin and marten fur. Jewelry is packed in boxes, each with six starting.

Boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as a large number of fertile land deeds in the suburbs of the capital.

There are also countless precious medicinal materials such as ginseng, Cordyceps sinensis, Ganoderma lucidum, deer antler, rhinoceros horn, tiger bones, etc., as well as boxes of daily necessities.

When Guo Wei went to see it curiously, she didn't know what to do with many things.

When her mother Xu and sister Guo Yan saw these things, they gradually felt that Guo Wei's marriage was actually quite good and they were all happy for her.Even my sister occasionally showed envy.

Xu held Guo Wei's hand, with a little worried and joyful look on her face, and said with a complicated expression: Master Longye, these are dowry, even if you go to your husband's house, it's yours.In the future, Weier will not live a hard life and will never be able to enjoy it in her whole life.

Guo Wei blushed and said: I only wanted to have a silk dress when I got married...

Then the betrothal gift was also delivered, and it was still very generous.

Guo Wei never rested again. Her parents kept teaching her how to be a wife and how to get along with people in the house. It seemed that she would teach her all her skills for decades.

He told her to go to the county prince's mansion to meet King Gaoyang, and to be careful and polite when she meets the emperor and the empress in the future, and never offend the royal family.

She grew up to fourteen and never was more important at home.Guo Wei felt heavy and seemed to be carrying a lot of things on her body, and was also worried and afraid that she would not do it well.

...First, two women from the palace came to teach Guo Wei etiquette, so that she could learn how to recite the lyrics skillfully.

Before the auspicious day, another strange aunt came from somewhere.The aunt gave Guo Wei a booklet, then pointed to the picture on the booklet and talked to her.

After saying a few words, Guo Wei turned red.The thing that the old lady is most taboo to say is the most taboo to say.

Guo Wei glanced at the aunt, but saw that she looked serious.She suddenly felt very confused and didn't know what was going on.

Weier, listen carefully.Mother stood at the door and said.

Guo Wei had to sit there, even her ears turned red.

After a while, she was so scared that she heard that the bearded man who drank and ate meat was going to stuff that thing somewhere...

I'm afraid I'll die on the day of my marriage!No wonder I'm giving so many things.Guo Wei blurted out in a trembling voice.

The aunt frowned and said: Don’t say those unlucky words!How can it be? The head will hurt at night and it will feel comfortable in the future.

The aunt taught Guo Wei for a long time and told her to hurry up and study.

The whole family's hope lies with Weier!

When Guo Wei thought of this sentence, she felt that these were things she should bear. She quickly gritted her teeth and read the booklet. She had a good memory and worked very hard. She could memorize the contents at night.

So she had a nightmare that night and woke up twice, and was so scared that she was sweating heavily.

When she woke up, she couldn't help but she burst into tears. Not only was she afraid of that thing, but she also felt that she would not be able to be with her mother and sister in the future. So she became sadder the more she thought about it, so she started to cry.

My sister was sleeping next door, across the thin wall. Guo Wei was worried that the crying would wake them up, which made people worry, so she had to bite her teeth and endure it.

Guo Wei was woken up before dawn the next morning.

Several women and a group of palace maids came to the palace, and their mother was also helping each other. She brought in hot water early in the morning, bathed Guo Wei first, and then dressed up.

Guo Wei didn't sleep well last night, and she was in a daze and let them do it, and her mind was still reciting the etiquette and human relations that she had given her.

She wore a phoenix crown full of pearls and jade, and a big shirt and a robe with complex colors and patterns.

She didn't know what kind of dress Guo Wei was wearing herself, and it was too complicated and complicated. I'm afraid that only the palace ladies who were responsible for etiquette, or those with officials could understand it.

Guo Wei just pinched the brocade on her body and looked at the big red silk embroidered with gold thread curiously.

There were also several people on her face carefully painted and powdered. Guo Wei quietly looked at the woman's focused expression and suddenly felt that she seemed to be a ceramic bottle, carefully carved by a craftsman, and then she was going to send it to a porcelain kiln for firing.

Guo Wei gently pursed her bright red lips in front of the bronze mirror, so that the rouge on it was evenly shaped.She saw herself inside and seemed to know her very much.

That pure face has become a little more beautiful and gentle.

But no matter how you apply it, it still looks tender; the fourteen-year-old girl is wearing a generous robe and a phoenix crown, which looks really inconsistent.

When Xu saw Guo Wei's noble dress, he was happy and quietly wiped his tears.

Guo Wei said: Mom, don’t be sad, I can still go home to see my parents and siblings.

Xu quickly wiped away his tears with a handkerchief. If you are in the Prince's Mansion, you can do your own thing well, so you will feel at ease for your mother.

After hearing this, Guo Wei's slender white hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, and her body tightened, her red lips slightly opened but she said nothing.
