Dressed in a costume, Zhao Junchen rode to the outside of Cui's house, his expression thoughtful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Junchen's horse under his crotch seems to be tall, but in fact it is just a mare with a docile personality, Fang Ru also knows that Zhao Junchen is not good at riding, so he specially chose a horse that is easy to control.

But it is such a docile mare, Zhao Junchen is not easy to control, if it is not for someone to drag the bridle all the time, maybe it will be out of control halfway.

This incident also reminded Zhao Junchen that he should take time to practice riding.

After all, Zhao Junchen will soon go to Shaanxi and Gansu, which is about to become a battlefield, which can be described as full of dangers, if he does not know how to ride, once he encounters danger, he will not even have a chance to escape.

For Zhao Junchen, it is necessary to reap some benefits on the battlefield, but saving his life is the first thing he considers.

After making a decision in his heart, Zhao Junchen came back to his senses, no longer thinking nonsense, and looked up at Cui Zhai.

The most important thing now is his own marriage, and Cui Yu and others have been waiting for him outside the house for a long time.

*

In Cui's house, there were also several officials of the Ministry of Rites who were in charge of the etiquette process, but Zhao Junchen directly ignored them and had no intention of letting them interfere at all.

Without the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, a lot of unnecessary red tape was saved, everything was just according to the ordinary etiquette process, and things became much simpler, although there were still many rules to pay attention to, but it still made Zhao Junchen a lot easier.

On the other hand, Cui Yu also took the initiative to cooperate and kept everything simple, and it only took half an hour for the "greeting" link to end.

In the end, with the support of Chu Jiayi, Cui Qianxue, who was wearing a red hijab, entered the eight-lift sedan chair of Zhao Mansion, and then under the leadership of Zhao Junchen, the welcoming team returned to Zhao Mansion, with gongs and drums and firecrackers all the way, there were more than 30 people in the band alone, and Zhao Junchen, as the groom official, was even more supportive, which was quite powerful, causing countless people's side eyes.

Some officials of the Ministry of Rites do not want Zhao Junchen to come forward to greet his relatives in person, and they are indeed worried, after all, Zhao Junchen's reputation among the people is poor, if Zhao Junchen is allowed to swagger through the market, maybe there will be people who will collide and cause chaos, and then Zhao Junchen's wedding will become a joke.

For such a situation, Zhao Junchen did not dare to slack off, he had been cautious on the way back and forth to welcome his relatives, and also arranged for the officials of Shuntianfu to maintain order, fortunately, there were no accidents along the way, although the people were gathered on both sides of the road to watch the excitement, but they were just watching the excitement, and there was no out-of-the-ordinary action.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Junchen remembered that a year ago, when he returned to the capital after relieving the disaster in Lu'an Mansion, and after the people in the capital saw Zhao Junchen's chariot and horse procession, everyone was panicked and scattered, which was enough to prove how bad Zhao Junchen's folk reputation was at that time.

But in the past year, Zhao Junchen has not only never done anything to directly harm the people, but has also been trying to reverse his reputation, and finally gradually achieved results, only to see the curious onlookers of the people, which is completely different from the original frightened appearance, I know that Zhao Junchen's hard work has not been in vain.

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen's heart moved, but he turned his head and said, "Xu Qingyan! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's call, Xu Qingyan hurriedly trotted to Zhao Junchen's horse and asked, "Young Master, what's the matter?" ”

Zhao Junchen instructed: "This year is my wedding celebration, and the people should be happy together, you go to find a spacious place, hire all the famous chefs in the capital, and set up one hundred and eighty tables of flowing water banquets, all of which must have good wine and good food, and all of them will entertain the people for free!" ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's order, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but be surprised.

Such a flowing water mat is naturally a big deal, but it also costs a lot of silver.

So, Xu Qingyan hesitated and said, "Young Master, this movement is too big, right?" ”

Zhao Junchen laughed, then lowered his voice and said: "The bigger the movement, the better, I am getting married today, no matter how big the movement is, no one dares to say anything, behave like a lot of money and be complacent, maybe Your Majesty will be happy, and he can also let the people read a good sentence, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds!" ”

Xu Qingyan was reluctant to pay the money after all, especially the expenses of the Zhao Mansion were too big now, but since it was Zhao Junchen's decision, he nodded reluctantly after all: "Then I'll do it!" ”

Cui Mansion and Zhao Mansion are not far away, both are located in the west of the city, just talking about the effort, Zhao Mansion is already far away.

When it comes to Zhao Junchen's current officialdom status, today's marriage is no longer so simple, but an important opportunity for Zhao Junchen to get closer to the major factions and manage his network, and there must be no negligence.

On this day, Zhao Junchen not only has to play the role of the groom, participate in the wedding process, but also play the role of the host of the Zhao Mansion, entertaining guests, it is inevitable that he will be a little careless and in a hurry.

At this time, the Zhao Mansion was already very lively and full of guests, after Zhao Junchen returned to the Zhao Mansion, he did not dare to have any delay, first warmly responded to the congratulations of the guests, and then asked the sedan chair man to carry Cui Qianxue's sedan chair into the main gate of the Zhao Mansion, and sent someone to send Cui Qianxue into the wedding room to wait, after all this was done, Zhao Junchen stood in the vestibule of the Zhao Mansion and took on the task of welcoming the guests.

Most of the guests who came to Zhao's Mansion in advance were Zhao Junchen's close friends, as well as some less important marginal figures, and those most important guests were often the last to appear, and they also needed to be received by Zhao Junchen in person!

These distinguished guests are also interesting, as if they have been hiding in the shadows waiting for Zhao Junchen to return home, and when Zhao Junchen personally greeted the guests, they appeared one after another.

Soon, Wang Shou, the secretary of the Ministry of War, personally came to Zhao Mansion to congratulate Zhao Junchen on his new marriage, and sent a whole two large boxes of congratulatory gifts, all kinds of gifts worth thousands of taels of silver, Zhao Junchen and Wang Shou said a few polite words, just welcomed Wang Shou into the Zhao Mansion, and saw the sedan chair of the Ministry of Rites Lin Wei stopped in front of the Zhao Mansion, and also sent a whole two large boxes of congratulatory gifts, when Zhao Junchen finally welcomed Lin Wei into the mansion, Zhang Bochong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Song Qiwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, joined hands with Song Qiwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice......

It can be said that on this day, the Zhao Mansion almost gathered all the important officials in the center of the temple, except for those Qingliu officials who were incompatible with Zhao Junchen, almost all the real power figures above the fifth grade in the capital were present, even Zhou Shangjing, Shen Changmao, Cheng Yuandao, these cabinet elders, although they did not come forward to congratulate in person, but they also sent envoys and sent valuable gifts.

Under the gathering of guests, in the continuous sound of silk and bamboo and firecrackers, Zhao Junchen ushered in the time of sending, although he was busy, even the door of Zhao Mansion who was responsible for singing the promise was hoarse on this day!

"Cabinet Auxiliary Minister Li Ge is old~"

"The left deputy of the Imperial Palace, King Youlun, has arrived~"

"Young Master Zhang Cheng and his son Zhang Qian Gongzi arrived~"

"Lin Yunpu, the big shopkeeper of 'United Ship', Bai Mingyu, the second shopkeeper, and Dai Fengfu, the third shopkeeper~"

"Huang Chengwen, the grandson of Lord Huang, the governor of Nanzhili, has arrived~"

"Taichang Temple Qing Dai arrived~"

Every time Menzi sings a promise, it means that a heavyweight guest has arrived at the Zhao Mansion.

In the end, with the arrival of the new cabinet elder Liang Fuchen in the Zhao Mansion, the atmosphere in the Zhao Mansion reached a climax.

Coupled with Zuo Lanshan, the elder of the cabinet who rushed to the Zhao Mansion in advance, and another cabinet elder Li He, Zhao Junchen's wedding ushered in the three cabinet elders to congratulate him in person, but it is also an officialdom joke, which is enough to show how powerful Zhao Junchen's influence is now.

Liang Fuchen was almost the last heavyweight guest to arrive at the Zhao Mansion, so after welcoming Liang Fuchen, Zhao Junchen no longer greeted the guests in person, but walked towards the mansion side by side with Liang Fuchen.

As he walked forward, the surrounding guests congratulated Zhao Junchen, and Zhao Junchen also looked kind and easy-going, smiling and returning the salute.

At the same time, Zhao Junchen said to Liang Fuchen: "Senior Liang, the younger generation's marriage today is really embarrassing, because the younger generation doesn't even have a reliable family elder in the capital, but his status is a little high, and he can't just find someone to marry...... Now that Senior Liang has come to Zhao Mansion as a guest in person, the younger generation has to count on you! With the seniority and prestige of Liang's predecessors, if he can serve as the officiant of the marriage of the younger generation, it is naturally more than enough, not only to solve the urgent needs of the younger generation, but also to the glory of the younger generation, but I don't know what the Liang seniors want? ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's request, Liang Fuchen pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "I didn't prepare in advance, I'm afraid I can't do it, but if Lord Zhao has no other candidates, then it will not be a big problem for me to make a temporary cameo." ”

After seeing Liang Fuchen's promise, Zhao Junchen was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, everything will be up to Senior Liang!" ”

For Zhao Junchen, once Liang Fuchen served as Zhao Junchen's officiant, not only did he bring the relationship between the two closer, but also the officials would misestimate the relationship between Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen through this matter, and treat the two of them as one, which will undoubtedly bring many additional benefits to Zhao Junchen.

And just as Zhao Junchen was about to announce the news, a shout suddenly came from outside the door.

"The Divine Decree has arrived! Zhao Junchen, the head of the household, received the order! ”

Hearing this shout, everyone in the Zhao Mansion was shocked, and they all looked towards the door of the Zhao Mansion, but saw Zhang De, the eunuch of Emperor Deqing, walking into the Zhao Mansion with the holy decree in his hand, and Zhang De was followed by a team of little eunuchs, all holding a lot of things.

Obviously, Emperor Deqing's congratulatory gift came.

As a result, the silk and bamboo and firecrackers in the Zhao Mansion stopped one after another, and the guests also stopped making noise, and the Zhao Mansion soon quieted down, and Zhao Junchen walked quickly to Zhang De to salute and receive the order.

I saw Zhang De unfold the holy decree and raised his voice: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor system said: the country is benevolent, the people are the first, money and food are indispensable, Zhao Junchen, the head of the household department, has been in charge of the treasury for many years, and has made outstanding contributions......

The minister has the code of dedication, through the virtue to repair, the court has the grace of the lord to regard the husband and noble, Yi Fan Mi Zhang Chong Jiayong, and the wife of Zhao Junchen, the secretary of the household department, Zhao Cui's wife, is the second grade of the wife, two pairs of jade bracelets, ten pieces of gold; Cui Yu, the father of the Cui family and the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, was crowned as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy......

Chin this! ”

After hearing the content of the holy decree, everyone present was moved.

Emperor Deqing's reward is even more amazing than imagined!

It is just a matter of crowning Cui Qianxue as the wife of the second grade, Zhao Junchen is the household secretary of the second grade, and this kind of reward is also the proper meaning of the title, but at the same time, Cui Qianxue's father Cui Yu is a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, which means that a chicken dog ascends to heaven.

In addition, Emperor Deqing awarded Zhao Junchen with the title of Doctor De and Jiaxun as the Secretary of Zhengzhi, which is also a great honor.

For example, after Zhao Junchen became the head of the household department, he also became the first and second grade of the official - this is the lowest level of the second grade of the official - but only after he has made outstanding achievements, he can be promoted to the senior doctor, if he has made outstanding achievements for many years, and is highly qualified, has a very high reputation, and has been recognized by hundreds of officials, he will be awarded the doctor of virtue.

Now, Emperor Deqing skipped the senior doctor and directly awarded Zhao Junchen as the senior doctor, which is not only an affirmation of Zhao Junchen's achievements in recent years, but also a great honor.

You must know that of today's six Shangshu, only Zhao Junchen has received the honor of being awarded the title of Doctor of Virtue, in addition to Zhao Junchen, even Song Qiwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, is only promoted to Senior Doctor, which means that Zhao Junchen has become the first person in the Six Shangshu.

As for the Zhengzhi Shangqing, it is a civil official title, which is also difficult to obtain, and every minister who has a civil official title must be a person with deep holy favors.

However, compared to the envy of the guests, Zhao Junchen's heart was a little disapproving, and there were not too many surprises.

How to say it, Emperor Deqing's reward this time is still adhering to his usual style, and it can be summed up in four words as "flashy and unreal", whether it is a loose official or a medal, it cannot bring actual benefits and power to Zhao Junchen, just look at the glory.

However, on the surface, Zhao Junchen looked grateful, and kowtowed: "The minister is grateful!" ”

When Zhao Junchen stretched out his hand to receive the holy decree, Zhang De smiled and said, "Lord Zhao, come and take a look at the imperial plaque given to you by Your Majesty!" ”

After speaking, the two little eunuchs came to Zhao Junchen with a plaque covered by a red cloth.

After Zhao Junchen stretched out his hand and lifted the red cloth, he saw two golden characters engraved on the plaque.

"Baochen"!
