The capital was very lively. Nacai's team moved forward step by step in the capital, and the people on both sides followed them with smiles. They had only one destination, and that was Zhang Guoji's mansion.

At this time, the Zhang Mansion had already been busy, cleaning the yard and preparing for the dinner. Although it was not necessary to entertain all the incoming guests, the envoys, deputy envoys, etiquette department and accompanying officials all had to entertain.

With the sound of drums, Nacai's team got closer and closer to Zhang's house. Under the leadership of Zhang Guoji, the Zhang family came to the gate of Zhang's house to greet the angel. At this time, the incense table had already been set up at the gate of Zhang's house.

, everything has been prepared. The officials who arrived here earlier have already arranged everything for the Zhang family. No one is willing to let go of this opportunity to curry favor with the father-in-law.

When the team came to the front, they slowly separated. The first person to walk out was Liu Yijing, a cabinet scholar holding the imperial edict in his hand. He glanced at Zhang Guoji, and Liu Yijing said loudly: "Zhang Guoji, take the edict!"

Following Liu Yijing's shout, everyone around him knelt down, and Zhang Guoji loudly said: "The common people accept the order!"

Slowly unfolding the imperial edict, Liu Yijing said loudly: "The emperor is entrusted by heaven, and the edict says: Zha Zhang's daughter, who is virtuous and virtuous, gentle and virtuous, is to be established as the empress. A special envoy is Liu Yijing, a scholar in the cabinet.

, perform the courtesy of accepting and asking for your name. I appreciate this!" After Liu Yijing finished reading, he handed the imperial edict in his hand to Zhang Guoji. After Zhang Guoji received the imperial edict, he naturally shouted long live three times and thanked the Lord for his kindness.

However, Liu Yijing did not step forward to help Zhang Guoji, and the expression on her face was very serious, as if she was waiting for Zhang Guoji to do something.

After placing the imperial edict on the incense table, Zhang Guoji picked up a piece of paper on the table, handed it to Liu Yijing respectfully with both hands, and said loudly: "This is the birth date of my little girl, please keep it away!" This Zhang Guoji is

He was a little worried. Once the Qin Tian Jian figured out that his daughter and the emperor were not in harmony, it would be a mistake. But he was worried in vain. It is estimated that no one would be open-minded and dare to say such things.

Taking the watch handed over by Zhang Guoji, Liu Yijing handed it to the person behind him and said with a serious face: "Go back to deduce the good and auspicious days, and your Majesty will choose a day to get married!" Liu Yijing naturally understood this well and calculated the horoscopes.

Without saying anything at all, it just became a matter of choosing a good time and auspicious day.

After waving to the people behind him, Liu Yijing said loudly: "Give me a gift!" Following his words, the royal guards behind him carrying gifts walked into the Zhang Mansion one by one. In the Zhang Mansion

Under the guidance of the housekeeper, the gifts were placed one by one in the Zhang family's courtyard.

When the nacai etiquette was first formed, nacai was just a matter of asking a matchmaker to find out what the girl's family meant. People at that time believed that wild geese were a symbol of single-minded love, so when accepting nacai, they would give one as a gift.

.If the girl’s family doesn’t agree, they will refuse at this time, and it will be a meeting.

However, with the passage of time, the Chinese people's tendency to love comparison was not absent at that time, so the greeting gifts became more and more important, and only heavy gifts can show sincerity. If the gifts are light, the woman will think that you are not good enough.

If you respect them, the marriage will probably not happen. Of course, if the emperor gets married, even if he doesn't give anything, no one would dare to refuse.

However, the royal family couldn't afford to lose that person, so this gift was extremely large and very precious. The original wild goose was replaced by a jade goose, but it was no smaller than the real wild goose.

Ordinary items, gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, are all specially provided by the imperial government, and most people have never seen them in their lives. Porcelain from official kilns, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, in short, are extremely precious, and there are many of them.

People standing in the crowd can only be envious. How many people regret that they don’t have this blessing! Needless to say, rewards such as titles and fiefs, this meeting gift alone is enough for a large family to live for several lifetimes.

.

When all the gifts came into Zhang's house and Zhang Guoji thanked him again, Liu Yijing showed a smile, walked quickly to Zhang Guoji, took Zhang Guoji's hand, and said affectionately: "Guardian, thank you for your hard work."

Well, congratulations! I have the nerve to come here to ask for a glass of wine today!"

"Looking at what you said, you are a bachelor of the cabinet. This is a distinguished guest that I can't even invite! Please come inside, and the food and drinks have already been prepared!" He called everyone in and told the housekeeper outside to take care of him.

Good for people from outside.

Everyone who comes has a reward, which is absolutely indispensable. Even Liu Yijing and Sun Ruyou have it. This is already a rule. The person who gives it feels at ease, and the person who receives it also feels at ease. However, for people in different positions, giving

The amount is different, but if it is too small, the Zhang family will feel bad, and all the drummers will be rewarded with two thousand taels. In short, the Zhang family will spend almost two thousand taels just for the reward. Fortunately, the Zhang family has quite a fortune, otherwise this money would be lost.

Can't afford it.

On this day, the Zhang family was very lively, the capital was also very lively, and the Forbidden City was no exception. Of course, the place of celebration was Cining Palace.

Seeing the extremely happy Empress Dowager and several of Emperor Taichang's concubines, who were now concubines, Emperor Tianqi pondered for a moment and said to the Empress Dowager: "Empress, I still have some things ahead of me, so let's go first

Let’s go!”

Looking at Emperor Tianqi lovingly, the Empress Dowager smiled and said: "Go! Be a good emperor."

Without hesitation, Emperor Tianqi stood up, saluted everyone, and left quickly with Chen Hong. When Emperor Tianqi returned to Qianqing Palace, there was already someone waiting here.

Looking at Luo Sigong, Emperor Tianqi asked with a serious face: "Luo Aiqing, is there any news from Liaodong?"

After giving a salute to Emperor Tianqi, Luo Sigong said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the Jin Yiwei and the people sent by Dongchang Hou have arrived. I have the information that has just been sent back!"

Sitting on the dragon chair, rubbing his swollen forehead, Emperor Tianqi said calmly: "I am not in the mood to read, pick out the important ones and talk to me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Master Sun and Master Yang have arrived in Liaodong a long time ago, and the batch of supplies they transported has also arrived in Shenyang. Master Sun has kept the seeds for the generals, and Master Sun has sent people to the governor of Liaodong. Jin Yiwei

People from Hedongchang and Dongchang have also arrived in Liaodong, and the spy investigation has not yet started, so there is nothing to gain." Luo Sigong briefly told Emperor Tianqi what was in the memorial.

"The most important thing is those seeds. I have told Yang Lian to keep them secret. You are sending a secret order to ask the Jin Yiwei of Liaodong to take good care of them." Emperor Tianqi looked at Luo Sigong with burning eyes, obviously still worried about Liaodong.
