Chapter 62 (2)
Sirut sent Shaoyao to tell Shujia that Guan had arrived, and Shujia asked Hongxiu to send Chaguo to thank her.After a while, Hongxiu and Shaoyao came together: "Girl, aunt, ladies, please tidy up, there will be a visitor."

When there are too many people, the space for the sisters to talk is compressed, and both of them cheer up to deal with the relatives and friends who come and go.Shujia just sits, smiles, and says hello.Then continue to sit upright, smile and listen.When someone came to say goodbye at about the same time, he nodded his respects, and everything was OK.At the end of the day, my face was almost frozen with laughter, but the people I faced were all acquaintances, relatives and friends, and it was not enough to not smile.

It was also very busy outside, because a lot of people were selected to deliver letters, and there were constant congratulatory guests at home, and finally had to transfer some of the people on the Zhuangzi to help.The guests who come here are also particular. At this time, the congratulatory guests are also extremely winking, and they all weigh the relationship with the host's family. It is nothing more than the close ones coming early, and the distant ones coming late.The Dong E clan and the Guerjia clan that Shujia was relatively familiar with in the big election both sent people to congratulate them on the second day.After being so busy for three or four days, this is still under the premise that the Shi family is relatively low-key, and it is also exhausting.

This matter is like a rumor, after the novelty, it will become flat.The Shi family gradually calmed down, tidying up the gifts from the guests in the past few days, and making statistics and supplements of various items and consumables for the guests.Just waiting for further instructions from the palace.

Fu Dali has never been late on errands, and his news is a little bit better: "It's still early, and the official decree will come down after the whereabouts of this batch of show girls are almost arranged." This kind of notification is also in batches. According to the order, the emperor is also a human being, no matter how energetic he is, there is an upper limit. Naturally, the important ones should be dealt with first, first the prince, then the clan, and then Jueluo.If the emperor himself took a fancy to someone, he would have to issue another batch of instructions.

Hua Shan is still holding on to the airs of the old man at home, in his words: "The bones are hairy and you have to keep pretending."

Shujia was more concerned about Dong E and Ning Hui, whom she became acquainted with during the election. She thought that these two had a good family background, and they should be relatively high. It was pointed out that it was given to the eldest son of Prince Jane's family, Yaerjiang A.

Shujia was relieved, after all, she was an acquaintance, and she was also happy for them, and even sent someone to congratulate them.Now it's time to make preparations for the formal decree of the marriage, and then choose an auspicious day to leave and wait for the procedure. Now, can Ama come back?Shujia thought to herself, she was really worried about leaving her father alone in Fujian.

That's all, the most convulsive thing is that Kangxi pointed out Fei Yanggu's daughter Ulanara to the fourth son of the emperor Yinzhen as his first wife.Yinzhen is fourteen years old. According to Manchu customs and royal practice, marriage is not too much.The problem is that Shujia knows Sifujin, try to recall, this... when was the last time I saw her?Count with your fingers, Ulanara, has she finished changing her teeth this year?

Child bride?Shujia's black line.

For Yu Jingzhong, it was nothing more than a strange topic of conversation; for Shi's family, it was just a gust of wind blowing past his ears.The Shi family's friendship with the Nala family is not close, not to the point of concern, and the family sees a princess, so they don't care so much about Sifu Jin's affairs.

Now what the Shi family has to consider is the dowry of the crown princess. Since Shujia was still very young, Sirut has already started to save her dowry, not to mention that Huashan burned down other people's houses when he was against San Francisco. Good stuff to grab.It is the southern half of the country where the San Francisco is raging. Since the Song Dynasty, the economy of the south has surpassed that of the north. There are many good things... a lot!Huashan also copied many good calligraphy and paintings, including Dong Qichang's authentic works that Kangxi admired very much.

I thought it was just a matter of sorting out and processing, but Sirut had already made a list, and his family had a lot of land, so he wanted to accompany him to a big village and a few shops to give his daughter extra money.There are also many kinds of antiques and decorations in the house, and there are many Western games brought from Fujian.As for the top-quality gemstones and pearls of various colors, there are boxes one after another, and there are many clothes.There are also precious woods such as red sandalwood and huanghuali accumulated over the years, which are enough.

Sirut lit it with his daughters and daughters-in-law one by one, and the more he lit it, the more he felt that things were not difficult to deal with.Jue Luoshi had been listening quietly, but now he said: "This dowry is not too thin, but there is one... It's because the husband's family has tidied up the house, and the mother's family went to measure the size to see the layout and make furniture..." Now how dare you Go to Yuqing Palace to measure the house? !Do you inquire about the layout of the crown prince's residence and want to rebel?
Mother and daughter, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are silent.

All right, don't make it difficult for you, the most difficult thing now is not you.

Kangxi, who found a child bride-in-law for his son, planned to go on a tour outside the Great Wall according to the plan, but was stopped.Gu Badai, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Xiong Cilu, Minister of the Han Dynasty, asked for an order: "His Majesty Xiangzhe has appointed the Guerjia family as the crown princess, but so far there has been no decree for marriage. According to the system of this dynasty, the prince refers to marriage, and Fujin's father should be married. Mangfu personally went to Qianqing Palace to receive the decree. Today, the concubine’s father, Shi Wenbing, is still in Fujian, what should I do? Also, is the decree referring to the marriage ordered to be issued by the Qin Tianjian on an auspicious day?”

Yes, the headache now is that Kangxi and others are waiting for the crown prince to marry a wife. How can the father-in-law not be present?Shi Wenbing is in Fuzhou, and he is on business. He is the one who went to the Shuzeng military bid, and he did the switch.

There is still half of the story that it is difficult for the two of them to talk about: because the crown prince is the second child, the matter of the third and fourth child has to wait until the second child is settled.The fourth child is okay, his eldest wife is still a loli, and the third child is not too young, so he has to wait.

Kangxi said: "I will deal with this matter myself. Shi Wenbing still has an errand in Fuzhou, and...the scorching heat in the south will not decrease until autumn, so it is not beautiful to make him return. If there is an accident, it will not be beautiful. When I return to Beijing from outside the Great Wall, I will call The other thing is that you can first draw up the decree of the marriage. The crown prince accepting a concubine is different from the marriage of ordinary princes, and the decree of the marriage must be written more solemnly."

The ears of the two ministers shook at the same time, the emperor was really thoughtful, he attached so much importance to the prince, and he was as meticulous and caring as dust.

Worship is worship, what should be said is: "Your Majesty said that the marriage of the crown prince and concubine is different from that of ordinary princes. It's just... there is no wedding ceremony for the crown prince in the country. Now the East Palace wedding is coming, what should the ceremony be like? "

Kangxi slapped his head, the problem is serious!

As a new regime, the Qing Dynasty was not very young by the 31st year of Kangxi, but the classics were still not complete.In many cases, it is necessary to use it before remembering to formulate it. For example, the emperor's wedding ceremony was not remembered until Shunzhi was about to get married. It was not even formulated until the marriage process was established.

There are also some that were previously decided, but were found to be inappropriate during the implementation process and changed again.For example, during the reign of Huang Taiji, there was a custom of Chongde, where everyone's ceremonial guards and clothes were set, but when they entered the customs, they found that they were not majestic enough, so they added and changed them.Other jobs have been done by others, and the omissions have been improved and made up in practice, but... the founding of the country in the past hundred years, there has not been a crown prince.

So far in the Qing Dynasty, there has only been one officially canonized crown prince.As for student Yinfeng, he was the first crown prince since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. For him, the crown prince's ceremonial ceremonies and clothes during the Chongde period were changed beyond recognition with Kangxi's acquiescence.It's a pity that Kangxi in the past ten years was focused on giving Yinreng more treatment, and completely ignored the need to give him a wife.The crown prince's wedding ceremony is blank!
Originally, in the 25th year of Kangxi, the state compiled a "Great Qing Huidian".Many things have been regulated, but I don’t know why, what is the etiquette of the crown prince marrying a wife, the Great Qing Huidian TMD didn’t write it!Now that I have to use it, I discovered the tragedy.

Kangxi's eyes flickered, and he immediately calmed down: "Wait, I will prepare the wedding ceremony of the crown prince. I will come back to see it." Then he left the prince to say: "I am going now, and I will return soon. I will leave everything in Beijing to you. .I don't worry about your work."

The crown prince stayed to supervise the country, and Kangxi left, leaving a mess.While dealing with government affairs, Yinreng read all kinds of papers, wrote abbreviations and clips, and then wrote about the things in the palace and his own situation, and sent them to Kangxi.On the other hand, he had to watch a bunch of people arguing for him to marry a wife.

"...The capital is still safe, but the princes are constantly quarreling. The empress dowager's grandmother feels a little hot, and the ministers have asked the House of Internal Affairs to provide more ice. I am afraid that my grandmother is old and weak, and she dare not drink ice. Tea is served in the well. The water rushes..."

The leaders are the two ministers, but Dingyi's matter is a matter of position and treatment, and the political meaning behind it is very rich, and it is definitely not something that can be solved by two ministers writing propositional compositions behind closed doors.

The crown princess, that is the future mother of the country, can't compare with the general etiquette of princes marrying wives, of course it should be higher.But this is the first class, what is the specific position?What was there in the engagement gift for her, and what allusions were there to each item?What does it mean?They have to be carefully picked out.

The huge project that the two could not complete had no choice but to make a table for discussion and discuss it with relevant people.

There was an uproar all of a sudden.

If you open the history books, you will find that anything involving etiquette is always the most troublesome.The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty would quarrel for several years over the posthumous posthumous title with one more word or one less, and over whether to put an extra string of beads on the hat so much that they had to roll up their sleeves and fight in court.For some nominal things, dead people are also common.

Suo'etu wants to raise it very high, while Mingzhu pulls the remaining forces to dig out the words.Quoting classics, it is very lively.Those who speak speak for themselves, while the bystanders are clouded with mist.It was also because Suo'etu and Mingzhu both drove north with them, and those who stayed in Beijing didn't dare to make up their minds, so they had to argue with each other.Gu Badai and Xiong Cilu are knowledgeable, and they did not clearly stand in the two parties, but when they made up their minds, Suo Pai thought it was too thin, and Ming Pai thought it was too thick, so they got involved again.

Just say, is it that simple to be Kangxi's daughter-in-law?If it were that simple, then this position would not be a scam.Wait!You won't be able to get married until they finish their quarrel.

Although everyone is quarreling, A Lantai, a scholar who stayed in Beijing, and Manhan Shangshu, the Ministry of Rites, still remember their duties and plan the wedding ceremony before Kangxi returns.Seeing that it was really bad, Alantai discussed with Gu and Xiong: "First draw up a general procedure, and wait for the detailed regulations to be added after Sheng Jia comes back to see that the order is correct. The gift was determined in detail."

Under his guidance, the homework assigned by Kangxi was soon written.The three of them looked at each other and smiled wryly. Sometimes, working together is not necessarily a good thing.

In September, Kangxi returned to Beijing, and Yinreng led the crowd to welcome him to Tangquan.The father and son lived in Tangquan for several days, and all military and state affairs were sent to Tangquan by Kuaima, and the reply would be sent again.One of them is to call General Shi Wenbing of Fuzhou back to Beijing.

Kangxi also felt troubled after reading the note drawn up by Alantai and others.Regardless of the factions, the quarrel between the two factions also has its own reasons, so let's take it one step at a time.To set the tone is that the crown prince's big wedding is more upscale than ordinary princes, to reflect that this is the future mother of the country to marry.

Shi Wenbing will be back soon.

Fu Dali spread the news back home, and the whole family rejoiced.When the family members are coming back, the crown princess's hat will be officially put on the second girl's head.

This fast word took more than a month.

From Fujian to Beijing, it is thousands of miles away. Fujian is still mountainous, and the road is not easy to walk.As the emperor's in-laws, you can't run back to Beijing like a refugee, and you have to maintain your demeanor.You have to socialize along the way, and you must be able to withstand the enthusiasm of the officials and all kinds of pulling you into the water.In the meantime, remember that the Crown Prince is waiting for you in Beijing to give her your daughter.

During this journey, Shi Wenbing was certainly happy, apprehensive, and grateful, but his spirit was also tense.All the way back, when he entered the house, Guanyinbao began to suspect that this was just a person who looked a little like his Ama pretending to be.

Shujia almost burst into tears, not to mention getting darker and thinner, the wrinkles on her face were also deep, and there were strands of silver in her braid.
