Borrow the day to change the day

The day of Zhong Jinwei's wedding finally arrived, and the two families on the same street were decorated with lights and beams of joy.

Neither of the two families was aristocratic, and the members of the Yan family were thin. They had just moved to the capital from Tongzhou. Not only did they not have any relatives, they didn't even know who their neighbors were.

As for Zhong Jinwei, it was even more thorough.Zhong Jinwei was alone and came from overseas. As far as relatives and family were concerned, he was not even as good as the Yan family.The only four nephews still do it.

Therefore, according to Zhong Jinwei and Yan's family, the marriage should not be so grand, it would be a waste of money.And if you really want to make a grand ceremony, you don't have that much money.

The Yan family came from ordinary people and had no savings, so the money for the dowry was sent by Zhong Jinwei.

As for Zhong Jinwei, he was focused on state affairs and didn't think about making money for himself.Therefore, apart from the salary, only the shop bestowed by Emperor Chongzhen has some sources of money.But because the store has not been open for a long time, there is not much income.

Moreover, Zhong Jinwei planned to take a stake in the ordinary bank to be established after spinning off the ordinary financial business of Daming Royal Bank.The more the equity, the better. It is a matter of Fuyan's descendants to make a steady profit without losing money.

He also secretly told the Yan family about this, and the two families were trying their best to save money.

The most critical reason is actually related to Zhong Jinwei's low-key personality, otherwise, there are many people who are not capable of doing the thing of being fat.

Thinking back when Zhong Jinwei first came to Daming, he still thought about giving advice to Emperor Chongzhen behind the scenes.But now he finally ran to the front desk, and he went shirtless for many things.

It can be seen that things will not always go as expected, so what about Zhong Jinwei's marriage?

In the afternoon of this day, the welcoming team was not big, it was composed of family members from the Marquis's mansion performing their duties.It's like a devil entering the village, making no noise, only Hua girl's work.

Even so, the two families are very happy, and sincerely wish Zhong Jinwei and Yan Yingfang a happy marriage for a hundred years.If there are many relatives in the two families, some people will criticize this unsuitable wedding.

But what Zhong Jinwei didn't expect was that as soon as Archie was welcomed in, someone came to congratulate him before the auspicious time came.

Zhong Jinwei had no choice but to go to the gate of the mansion to greet him in a bright red groom's suit.Today is a day of great joy, no matter the status, any guest will be welcomed in person.

"My subordinates congratulate Lord Hou on his wedding. I didn't have an invitation, so I came to express my joy. I hope Lord Hou will not be offended." Yu Haijing, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, cupped his hands to congratulate Zhong Jinwei with joy.

He stayed in the capital after escorting the eight major Shanxi merchants to Beijing, and he was able to be today because of Zhong Jinwei.Therefore, he has been thinking about Marquis Zhongxing's marriage, even though he didn't get an invitation, he still came to congratulate him.

Zhong Jinwei looked at Yu Haijing who had changed his past with a smile on his face, and said, "Where, where, I didn't send out a single invitation, not to say that I forgot my brother. Come, come, come, please come inside."

"Master Hou, this is your fault. It is a major event in life, how can you not send out a single invitation card! A small gift is not a respect." Yu Haijing said with a smile, and gave the gift list to Lao Peng, the concierge next to Zhong Jinwei.

Zhong Jinwei smiled when he heard this, but fortunately he still prepared a few extra tables of banquets.Don't be afraid to have a few more unexpected guests.

He was just about to welcome Yu Haijing into the mansion, when a loud female voice came from outside the door: "Marquis Zhongxing, why didn't you notify us of the wedding, did you look down on our chieftain's background?"

Zhong Jinwei turned his head and saw that it was Qin Liangyu and her son and daughter-in-law who were coming on horseback.

He ordered the four nephews who were following him to let one of them welcome Yu Haijing in first.He went back to the gate of the mansion, smiled and looked at the people who got off their horses and said, "Hehe, Mr. Qin was joking, Rui Zheng and I are not brothers but brothers, how could we look down on them! It's just that I'm low-key by nature, so I didn't send a message. It's just an invitation."

"Why don't you keep a low profile on the big day, first congratulations to Lord Hou on your wedding." Qin Liangyu raised his son and daughter-in-law and cupped his fists in congratulations.

"Please, please, please." Zhong Jinwei welcomed Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi into the door with a smile on his face.

But before he could arrange a seat, he reported another visitor at the door. He had to confess to Qin Liangyu and others, and then greeted him again.

Zhong Jinwei was not very familiar with the visitor, and Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jin Yiwei, came to congratulate him in person.I saw him greet Zhong Jinwei with a smile on his face, as if they were very close.Zhong Jinwei was proud of his politeness, and welcomed him in again.

To be honest, even though Zhong Jinwei's temperament was relatively low-key, these guests could come here uninvited just now to congratulate him on his wedding, but he also had a sense of pride and satisfaction.

But soon, his sense of pride and satisfaction was not a trace, but full.

Zhong Jinwei was welcomed out of the mansion again, and was complained by a large group of people for not even having an invitation card, so a large group of old men had the cheek to come over to grab a meal.

Zhong Jinwei was not dissatisfied at all by the complaints, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I won't be able to invite the elders, so I dare not say anything. Come, come, elders, please sit inside."

All the assistant ministers of the Ming cabinet in Beijing came together to congratulate. This is actually not common, and it should be a big compliment to Zhong Jinwei.

When Zhong Jinwei accompanied the cabinet ministers into the mansion, he secretly asked Wen Tiren, "You all came so early, what should the emperor do?"

When Wen Tiren heard this, he looked at Zhong Jinwei and said, "It's the emperor's special decree to allow us to leave the office early and come to congratulate Marquis Zhongxing, and..."

When he said this, he pretended to be mysterious for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Besides, the emperor also made it clear that you can't eat and drink for free. This old man used all the savings at home as a gift. This time, we must Let go of your stomach and eat some money to go back."

Zhong Jinwei laughed out loud when he heard that, Wen Tiren is just as good as he can eat, how much money can he eat.At the same time, he was also secretly grateful to the Emperor Chongzhen. He was still a little bit disappointed when he saw that he was silent all the time. He never thought that the Emperor Chongzhen would ask his officials to give him gifts.

Not long after, many guests came one after another.Except for Xu Guangqi, Bi Ziyan and others, he was not familiar or even acquainted with the other six ministers, officials at all levels, and even the emperor's relatives.

The mansion was full of hospitality, those low-ranking people consciously left after giving gifts, and many people who got the news late still came to give gifts one after another.

These people, one is because Zhong Jinwei is currently a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and the other is that Emperor Chongzhen has intentionally or unintentionally revealed the meaning of asking all the ministers to congratulate Zhong Jinwei, including that he asked all the ministers in the cabinet to congratulate Zhong Jinwei, which is also a big fanfare , so news spreads quickly.

Just when the auspicious time was approaching and the worship ceremony was about to be held, the imperial edict of Emperor Chongzhen arrived.

This let the officials present know that the emperor wanted to come here in person, but because the empress was pregnant and unable to move, he did not come.A lot of congratulatory gifts were bestowed, including two prosperous shops, for Zhongxing Hou to cheer on.

Wang Cheng'en, the admiral of Dongchang, also gave his congratulatory gift after reading the imperial decree, so he was charged with a crime and returned to the palace to return his order.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard Wang Chengen's reply, he said with a smile: "Master Zhong has been worrying about state affairs, and has collected so much silver for the treasury, but he has no money to arrange marriage. This can be regarded as making him no longer embarrassed about money. .”

In the end, Zhong Jinwei's wedding did not keep a low profile, but instead became a big topic among the people in the capital, almost diluting the pre-arranged ticket number, which was also unexpected by the instigator, Emperor Chongzhen.

One can imagine how excited the older young man's bridal chamber wedding night was, and the noise continued until almost dawn, when Zhong Jinwei fell asleep with Archie in his arms.

Just newly married, no one should disturb her so ignorantly, this was Zhong Jinwei's thought before falling asleep.

But he was wrong. Not long after dawn, Emperor Chongzhen issued an urgent order for him to enter the palace to have an audience.
