MTL - Feng Xing-Chapter 77
King Wei is getting married.
The news came out very abruptly, without warning at all, and she was not married to a noble girl, but a girl of a fifth-rank official in the south.
But this marriage was bestowed by Emperor Jianping, and it was urgent. From the decree of the marriage to the day of the wedding, it was only a short period of two months.
This amount of time is enough for ordinary families to get married, let alone a duke's family, even an ordinary official's family is not enough, which ones don't set the wedding date one or two years in advance, and use the rest of the time To prepare, now the majestic prince has only two short months to get married.
But since this matter was decided by King Wei and Emperor Jianping, naturally no one dared to comment.
Because of this news, many people in Beijing set their sights on the future Princess Wei.
Without him, everyone wants to know who has the courage to marry Wei Wang, who has the reputation of restraining his wife. It must be known that the king of Wei had married two before, and they both disappeared within half a year after entering the house. Since then, no one dared to say it publicly, and no one said behind the scenes that Wei Wang's order was too hard to restrain his wife.
Later, after knowing the identity of the woman, everyone understood. This kind of person from a poor family, once given the opportunity to climb up, will climb up desperately, one person can ascend to heaven, and he still cares about whether he can restrain his wife or not?
But no matter how outside the discussion, all this did not affect the arrival of Wei Wang's wedding.
…
After Uncle Yu rushed to the capital from Yangzhou, Feng Sheng moved out of Wei Wangfu.
He came here specifically to help Feng Sheng with her wedding.
It's unnecessary to expect the Fang family to come forward. No one thought that Fang Fengsheng would cause such a catastrophe, but she had Fang's surname on her head. No matter what happened, the Fang family had to take care of her.
For example, the fact that Feng Sheng was actually a woman killed Fang's family, and no one dared to say so. As for Feng Sheng, who wanted to reverse the case for Fang Yan in spite of the world's disgrace, the Fang family's emotions were actually very complicated.
On the one hand, the Fang family can be cleared of the stigma, and the Fang family is quite happy. Although the Fang family is not a family of officials, it is also a scholarly family, and there has never been a guilty person, especially the former patriarch.
But on the other hand, Feng Sheng and the crown prince took the lead, and the power in the middle palace was overwhelming. Even if the crown prince was pulled down in the end, no one dared to say that he would not be retaliated in the future, so now the Fang family is still keeping a low profile and continuing to recuperate. Naturally, it is impossible to come forward to do the marriage for Feng Sheng.
So this matter can only be left to Uncle Yu.
As far as Uncle Yu is concerned, the master's vengeance has been avenged, which is his most important thought. Now that the girl is married, it is the first marriage in the true sense, so naturally he can't take it lightly.
Anyway, there is no shortage of money. Before Uncle Yu rushed to the capital from Yangzhou, he bought a batch according to the dowry list. There are two big ships fully loaded, everything from furniture to utensils, to clothes and jewelry. Compared with the time when Feng Sheng married into Sun's family, I don't know how much richer. Feng Sheng is marrying the royal family this time, if the dowry is too thin, people will laugh at her.
This is Uncle Yu's meaning. Feng Sheng's objection is invalid, but King Wei quite agrees with Uncle Yu's approach. He doesn't seem to have the slightest idea of marrying a wife who can't see the light. The scene should not be small.
For this, she reported worry, Wei Wang told her not to think too much.
Her identity has passed Ming Road on the side of Emperor Jianping, and arrangements have been made here, and she will marry her as Fang Fengfu's younger sister.
As for Fang Fengfu himself, Emperor Jianping did not speak, and no one dared to ask. This is a mystery, and it will remain a mystery in the future.
And just like that, it was time for the wedding.
May 18th is suitable for marriage.
This is the day of Qin Tian's election, and it is indeed a good day, because it can be seen early in the morning that today is a good day with no clouds in the sky.
Located somewhere in Mao'er Hutong, Sanjin's house was busy early in the morning.
This house was bought by Uncle Yu when he came to Beijing. At that time, Feng Sheng was in prison, and he would definitely not be able to come out for a while. Uncle Yu and his party had more than ten people, so many people couldn't stay in the inn all the time, so they bought this house. House.
It was originally used as a temporary place to stay, but this time it was used as the place where Feng Sheng got married.
Everyone else is busy, but Feng Sheng, the bride, is very free.
Waking up early in the morning, she took a walk in the garden as if nothing happened. This is a habit she has developed recently. The doctor said that she is too weak, so she should take it as exercise.
After going back, she had breakfast, and after eating, she was sleepy again, so she went back to sleep. This time I slept until noon, got up and had lunch first, and took a break after lunch to take a bath.
Knowing that there are two maids named Chun and Qiu by Feng Sheng's side, the King of Wei sent two nuns here to guide all matters related to the wedding.
It can be seen that these two nuns are also experienced, and they spent an entire hour just bathing Feng Sheng. During the period, the water was changed twice, and after Feng Sheng was tossed by them, he touched himself, and it became smoother, whiter and tenderer, and it felt like water tofu.
In fact, Feng Sheng was originally fair, but due to lack of maintenance, her skin was far inferior to those of the noble girls from everyone. Since these two nuns came, they have been tossing her a lot, but the tossing is also effective. Now Feng Sheng's skin is thin, tender and slippery. Today, she is about to get on the sedan chair, and she has been tossed like this again. Best state.
"The princess is careful about herself, so that she can serve His Highness well."
Feng Sheng felt embarrassed when he thought that he was making such a fuss every day just to benefit King Wei. But although these two old nuns were old and stubborn, they were still quite respectful to her, and she couldn't say anything, so she could only listen.
When the hair was half dry, Mammy instructed Zhichun to apply floral dew on Feng Sheng's hair. It was a special kind of floral dew. Feng Sheng didn't know the specific content, but Mammy made it herself. Anyway, after wiping it, it has a light fragrance and is pleasant, but not pungent.
Then he combed his hair with his face open, anyway, Feng Sheng just closed his eyes and let others torment him. After finishing these, it is time to wear the wedding dress.
It is a red shirt, a dark blue background embroidered with golden clouds, Xiafeng, and a nine-zhai crown. If the folk wedding dress is a cut-down version of Fengguanxiapei, this royal concubine's crown dress is the ultimate version, and above that is the queen's crown dress, but it is not red, but blue.
Feng Sheng sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror.
The person in the mirror has a pink face and vermilion lips, and slender eyebrows. Because of the makeup, the eyebrows and eyes are as delicate and colorful as those painted in ink, with an aggressive brilliance.
It made Feng Sheng a little strange, but also a little emotional.
Someone outside called Zhiqiu, Zhiqiu came in after going out, and whispered something in Feng Sheng's ear.
Feng Sheng was taken aback, and smiled at the old mama: "It's still early, and mama has worked a lot, so let's go down and rest for a while."
"This…"
"I'll rest for a while too. Don't worry, Mammy, I won't mess up my clothes."
Only then did the two nuns go down, and Zhiqiu found an excuse to dismiss the other girls, Zhichun still didn't understand what he meant, so Zhiqiu pulled her out.
Feng Sheng went to the hall, just sat down on the chair, a person walked in from the door, it was Fan Jinchuan.
He was still wearing a blue shirt, and he seemed to be rushing over, dusty, with a usual smile on his face, looking both familiar and unfamiliar.
Coming out of Dali Temple, Feng Sheng didn't ask anyone about Fan Jinchuan, and no one told him. She hesitated whether to tell him that she was safe and sound, and after thinking about it, she finally gave up.
"I came here in a hurry. You are married, so you have to come to give a gift anyway."
"Thanks, how are you doing these days?"
"Ok. What about you?"
"I'm fine too."
It seemed that there was nothing to say, and the two fell into silence, with their eyelids half-lidded, as if immersed in memories.
In the end, it was Fan Jinchuan who broke the silence.
"I admire King Wei very much. He is very courageous. If..." He suddenly smiled and said, "There are no ifs. There are so many ifs in this world."
Feng Sheng just smiled and said nothing, in fact she didn't know what to say.
On the contrary, Fan Jinchuan talked a lot about Feng Sheng's arrival in Beijing.
For example, the follow-up of the New Deal, the layout of the official salt shop, etc. In fact, Fan Jinchuan does not need to say, Feng Sheng also knows that the original structure was built by the two together, and the current follow-up is just adding bricks and tiles, step by step. Fan Jinchuan also said that he had asked Emperor Jianping for an order to stay in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, and was going to start managing the Huainan and Huaibei river channels. This matter will not be completed in a short time. He is afraid that he will stay in Lianghuai for a long time, and he will not return to the capital in a short time.
After saying this, it seemed that there was nothing to say, and the two fell into silence again.
After an unknown amount of time, Fan Jinchuan stood up suddenly, and Feng Sheng looked at him as if he had just woken up from a dream.
He showed a smile: "Okay, I have to go, I wish you and His Royal Highness King Wei the same brows, happiness and peace."
"thanks."
She stood up.
He glanced at her again. She in a wedding dress was a scene that only appeared in his dreams, and he finally saw her today. He is satisfied and wishful, although the person she married is not him.
Sometimes Fan Jinchuan always wonders if he had been more self-willed and persisted for a while, would the ending be different. But as he himself said, there are so many ifs in this world.
"Don't give it away. There will be a period later."
"There will be a period later."
…
Someone came in and went out, Feng Sheng didn't care.
She just sat there, lost in memories, shaking her head and sighing and smiling from time to time.
Zhichun always wondered if her daughter was hysterical, so she dragged Zhiqiu to talk about it secretly, but was scolded by Zhiqiu.
There seemed to be the faint sound of firecrackers, Feng Sheng raised his head and looked outside the door.
Between the eyes, there is a sea of red, as if that person has never appeared. Some people yelled that His Highness came down to welcome the bride, while others yelled to get the hijab quickly.
At the moment before being blocked by the hijab, Feng Sheng seemed to see a tall figure striding towards him.
