[0776 It's still a powerful decree]
Can Wei Bao rest assured? How do you feel that Lao Wei seems to care more about his marriage than himself.
Moreover, Wei Zhongxian looked like he was about to get out of his stomach.
Wei Bao wanted to ask again, but Wei Zhongxian had already left.
Wei Bao could only return to his mansion in a nervous mood, and he didn't know what Wei Zhongxian was going to do?
After Wei Bao went back, he informed Wu Xuexia and Wu Sanfu about meeting Wei Zhongxian, and the two of them couldn't figure out what Wei Zhongxian would do.
This time, Wei Zhongxian's efficiency was very high, and after just over an hour, two identical holy decrees came out of the palace, one to Wei Bao's mansion, and one to the mansion of Zhang Weixian, the British Mansion.
Zhang Weixian is worried about his daughter's affairs, he is not worried about the things that he said to the emperor before that he would help Wei Bao, anyway, the Beijing camp is in his hands, and the emperor has issued a holy decree, he can also disobey the yang and the yin, and not lend Wei Bao 10,000 sets of equipment for the soldiers of the Beijing camp.
At this time, the holy decree came, Zhang Weixian thought that the emperor was just to let him cooperate with the holy decree of the governor of Haiphong Yamen, and secretly thought that the emperor and Wei Zhongxian had a lot of advantages in doing things this time, and Wei Baohong was a red man, and he was really loved by His Majesty.
Zhang Weixian and Zhang Zhiji knelt and waited for the eunuch to read the will.
"The emperor has decreed, the daughter of the British public Zhang Weixian is seventeen years old, and she is already the age of marriage, and the governor of Haiphong, Yamen, is four-year-old Wei Bao, who is also of marriageable age, and the two are a pair of beauties made in heaven. The eunuch finished reading the holy decree in a frustrated manner, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, Prince, congratulations on your house." Wake up, two of you. ”
Zhang Weixian and Zhang Zhiji were stunned, they didn't expect the emperor to decree that Zhang Meiyuan and Wei Bao would marry.
And the holy decree did not mention other women, only Zhang Meiyuan, which was in line with their hearts.
Zhang Weixian got up in a daze and said to his subordinates: "Prepare a cup of tea and silver for a few fathers-in-law who passed the decree." ”
The leading eunuch who passed the decree said with a smile: "We don't dare to accept Grandpa Guo's silver easily, but today is a great event, and we must accept it, so our family will thank Grandpa Guo first." ”
Zhang Weixian said: "It's easy to say. ”
Zhang Zhiji originally wanted to send the eunuch for ten taels or twenty taels of silver, but when he heard the eunuch say this, he could only ask his family to fetch fifty taels of silver, and he couldn't be too stingy.
Several eunuchs left happily.
"Dad, aren't everyone happy now? The emperor's holy decree, how dare he Wei Bao disobey? Our family has married Meiyuan, and we don't have to marry other women at the same time, which is good. Zhang Zhiji looked at his father with a smile, but his father still frowned.
Zhang Weixian said: "It's not a bad thing, but I don't know if this is Wei Zhongxian's own meaning when he heard the rumors, or Wei Bao begged Wei Zhongxian for this matter?" Anyway, His Majesty doesn't know anything outside the palace, so he has to go through Wei Zhongxian. In my opinion, it should be Wei Zhongxian's own meaning. Do you think, I have already hinted that Wei Bao came to the door to propose, and now it is Wei Bao who wants to marry three women at the same time, if he only marries our family, why should Wei Bao ask for any holy decree? Wouldn't it be over if you came directly to the door to propose? ”
Zhang Zhiji thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's what Dad said, but even if Wei Zhongxian means it, it's not a bad thing, right?" Maybe Wei Zhongxian wanted to take advantage of this incident to use the holy decree to fulfill the marriage of Meiyuan and Wei Bao, and also gave our family face. ”
"It's not that simple, I've never been in harmony with Wei Zhongxian, how can this eunuch be so kind this time, and reward Wei Bao with gold, and reward him with good land, two thousand acres of good land, and thousands of taels of gold, this is more grand than marrying a princess!" Zhang Weixian shook his head and said.
"Dad, you're just thinking too much about something, what's the matter with more rewards?" Zhang Zhiji said disappreliantly: "I'll go tell Meiyuan the good news, right?" She must have been pleased. ”
Zhang Weixian sighed: "Our family has no opinion, and I don't know what Wei Bao will think?" Wait a minute, Wei Bao thought that I personally asked for the holy decree and used His Majesty to suppress him. Your Majesty has rewarded so much, I think, most of it is because of His Majesty's kindness to Wei Bao, I heard that Wei Bao sent a lot of silver to the palace during this time! ”
Zhang Zhiji didn't answer and had already gone.
Zhang Meiyuan was really happy to know the news, she didn't think about it so much, after all, it was a little girl's heart, and she was happy and shy when she thought of getting married.
Other women marry blind and dumb marriages, but she already knows who her husband's family is, and she has met twice, for Wei Bao, Zhang Meiyuan is extremely satisfied with this marriage.
Wei Bao received the holy decree almost at the same time as Zhang Fu, and Wei Bao was really confused.
Wei Bao naturally didn't think that it was the holy decree that the British Duke asked for from the emperor, because he was full of eyeliner and knew that after the British Duke returned home, he did not go to the palace again.
There was only one possibility that the holy decree came from the palace so quickly, and that was that this holy decree was asked by Wei Zhongxian to the emperor!
"Thank you, sir." Wu Sanfu couldn't help but remind Wei Bao when he knelt on the ground in a daze after the eunuch read the holy decree.
The leading eunuch said: "Presumably Lord Wei is very happy, marrying the daughter of the grandfather of the country, who is not envious of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty also rewarded Lord Wei for promotion, promoted to the rank of the fourth grade, this is not counted, but also rewarded a thousand taels of gold, two thousand acres of high-quality fertile land, this is more grand than marrying a princess, Lord Wei is extremely favored, and Daming is rare." ”
Wei Bao wanted to resist the decree very much, and after receiving this holy decree, his wish to marry Wu Xuexia and Zhao Jinfeng at the same time was frustrated.
What's even more difficult is that the people sent to pick up Wu Xiang and Zhao Jinfeng have already gone out, and it is estimated that they are almost in Liaoxi, and now they may be troublesome if they want to send someone to chase them back!
Wei Bao was angry in his heart, if he knew that Wei Zhongxian was such a solution, what did he want Wei Zhongxian to solve?
Isn't it okay not to mention marrying three women at the same time?
Okay, you Wei Zhongxian, I was stabbed by you again!
Wu Sanfu can guess Wei Bao's thoughts, this holy decree cannot be disobeyed, then it will really become a rebellion, "Lord Wei, quickly accept the decree." As he spoke, he smiled awkwardly at a few eunuchs, "I'm afraid Master Wei is really happy." ”
Wei Bao said in a trance: "Weichen is grateful." Then he stood up in a trance.
Wu Sanfu saw that Wei Bao was not in good spirits, so he hurriedly rewarded several eunuchs with twenty taels of silver on behalf of Wei Bao as a reward for running errands.
Several eunuchs were not very happy at once.
Everyone knows that Wei Bao made a generous move, and this time he went to Wei Bao's mansion to read the holy decree, but everyone rushed to grab it, and almost fought, but he didn't expect to get twenty taels of silver?
And when everyone saw Wei Bao's stupid expression, they didn't know if Wei Bao was really crazy?
"Lord Wei, congratulations to you!" The leading eunuch was thick-skinned and refused to leave, pestering Wei Bao to see if Wei Bao would increase the reward money, it is estimated that Wei Bao's subordinates rewarded him just now, and Wei Bao didn't know at all.
However, he is not easy to say clearly.
Wei Bao nodded in a daze, held his head and said, "Thank you fathers-in-law, I'm a little dizzy, so I won't send it, come and reward." ”
"I've already been tipped in." Wu Sanfu hurriedly said.
Wei Bao snorted.
The leading eunuch and the other four eunuchs almost fainted in anger, the reward was too much, but the reward was too little.
But there is no way to say this.
The leading eunuch had an idea and said, "Lord Wei, such a big happy event, do you want me to bring some silver to the grand dukes of the celebrant eunuch?" Let's take a dip in the joy of Lord Wei and the daughter of the Guogong Mansion? ”
Wei Bao snorted and said to Wu Sanfu: "It's okay, Brother Sanfu, you can do it, I am indeed a little dizzy." ”
"Okay, okay, you can rest for a while." Wu Sanfu was a little annoyed by these eunuchs, but he didn't dare to show it, and said to a few eunuchs: "A few fathers-in-law, please come here." ”
When several eunuchs saw that this person was rewarding them again, they couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
But this is already the limit, and there is really no way to ask Wei Bao for money openly.
Wu Sanfu asked people to bring fifty taels of silver, and brought some fresh fruits and cakes in a row, and said to a few eunuchs: "A few fathers-in-law, here is a little careful, please help Master Wei thank the master of ceremonies and a few grand fathers-in-law, right?" ”
The leading eunuch almost didn't faint, they opened their mouths themselves, and they gave this point: "Hmph, we have received the silver, and we must pass the word on our behalf, these fruits and cakes, keep them in your house and eat them for yourself!" Do you lack these things in our palace? ”
Wu Sanfu is also a human spirit, and he can hear that the other party is unhappy, but he feels that there is nothing great about the eunuchs who passed the decree, and they are not big eunuchs, so he nodded and pretended not to understand.
Wu Sanfu felt that if he gave seventy taels of silver, he could buy a medium-sized mansion in the capital, enough of it, you eunuchs one by one, you are really greedy!
After sending off a few eunuchs, Wu Sanfu hurriedly entered the hall.
Wei Bao was still lying on his back on the Taishi chair with a sad face, and Wu Xuexia, Wang Qiuya, Yang Xue, Xiong Xin'er, Princess Zhenming and others also came over.
"Since it is His Majesty's holy decree, there is no way to do it, Xiaobao, don't think too much about me and Zhao Jinfeng, I'm fine, you have this heart, I'm already satisfied." Wu Xuexia said magnanimously.
Wu Sanfu nodded, "It's still my sister-in-law, Xiaobao, you really don't have to be too uncomfortable, you dare to go to the Guogong Mansion to ask to marry my sister at the same time, I will make this matter clear to my father, presumably my father will not blame you." ”
"But I still feel too wronged Xuexia." Wei Bao apologized to Wu Xuexia.
Wu Xuexia walked to Wei Bao's side, brought a burst of fragrant wind, and said softly: "There is really nothing, it is important to do big things, now is not the time to think about this, it is the right thing to arrange someone to go to the British Mansion to propose marriage." After getting married, they immediately solved the problems of Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong and Denglai according to the original plan, and then rushed to Liaodong. ”
"That's right, didn't you say that if you make great contributions in Liaodong, you can be promoted to the governor of coastal defense? When you have the strength in the future, even if Xue Xia is a concubine, you can still give Xue Xia the best, and you can remember this intention for Xue Xia. Wu Sanfu is very open-minded, "How many wives will be divorced in the future!" Between husband and wife, it is most important to have a harmonious relationship. ”
Wu Xuexia looked at Wu Sanfu funny: "Brother, you know all the big truths, why didn't I see how harmonious you and your sister-in-law are?"
Wu Sanfu saw that his sister-in-law was still in the mood to laugh, so he knew that Wu Xuexia didn't take this matter too seriously, and said with a smile: "That's because I and your sister-in-law didn't meet before marriage at all, it was all arranged by my father, I don't like your sister-in-law at all, I've done a good enough job, otherwise, with my talent status, I can divorce her at any time and find a new one!" ”
Wu Xuexia snorted, ignored Wu Sanfu, and pushed Wei Bao: "Okay, cheer up, hurry up." ”
Wei Bao was even more embarrassed to see Wu Xuexia being so generous, but his apologetic psychology was slightly soothed, and his mood was not as bad as just now, "My father and my mother haven't arrived yet, can't I come to the door to propose marriage by myself, right?" ”
"What does it matter? When your father and mother arrive, you will get married immediately. Wu Sanfu said: "Shall I find you a matchmaker?"
"Xiaobao's matchmaker can't be found casually, you have to find a big person with status and status, brother, you don't want to find a matchmaker, right?" Wu Xuexia said.
Wu Sanfu sighed, "Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise I would have almost made a joke, that's true, Xiaobao, didn't you have a good relationship with Lord Shoufu and send someone to invite Lord Gu Bingqian?" Otherwise, the second assistant, Lord Zhu Yanxi, can also do it. ”
Wei Bao thought about it, this seems to be a party dispute again, Gu Bingqian is a eunuch party, Zhu Yanxi's Donglin party, these two people Wei Bao doesn't really want to find.
"Forget it, just call a matchmaker, right?" Wei Bao said: "Anyway, I don't care about this family business, just go through the motions." ”
"You can't do this, the British duke's temper is so big, Zhang Zhiji is not a very good talker, don't anger the British duke, they won't let the young lady pass the door." Wu Sanfu said: "I know what you are afraid of, in my opinion, it is better to invite both Gu Bingqian and Zhu Yanxi, two matchmakers, and even invite all the people in the cabinet!" You are a dignified fourth-grade official, and you are the holy decree of His Majesty, and you are ordered to get married, so why not make a big show? ”
Wei Bao felt that this was feasible, and said worriedly: "It's good, I'm afraid that people won't give face, won't they be boring when the time comes?" ”
"Don't look at me eating, drinking, and having fun every day, in fact, I also pay attention to what happens in the imperial court, people on both sides are good to you, don't forget, your bachelor of Hanlin Academy was mentioned by Lord Zhu Yanxi for you, and Gu Bingqian helped you mention the scholar in your cabinet, both of them can be regarded as your mentor and master, and they will not refute your face." Wu Sanfu said: "The matchmaker has it, if you want to get married as soon as possible, you have to set an auspicious day for the zodiac now, and immediately send a wedding post. ”
Wei Bao sweated, how did he feel that he was married, Wu Sanfu was more excited than him, and nodded: "Then leave it to Brother Sanfu to deal with it, and the Secretariat and the General Administration of Statistics will help." ”
Wu Sanfu, Wu Xuexia and Lin Wenbiao received orders at the same time.
With the energy of the Heaven and Earth Society, it is as easy as a piece of cake to handle the president's marriage.
Lin Wenbiao said regretfully: "I didn't expect the president to get married in such a hurry, this should have been done in Weijiazhuang, and this can become a major event celebrated by Weijiazhuang, Liaonan and North Korea!" At least all the vacations should be taken for three days and five days. ”
"Forget it, let's keep it simple, get married as soon as possible, and make plans for the future. Send someone to send the news back to Liaonan, Weijiazhuang and North Korea, and all the people under the rule of heaven and earth will rest for eight days! Locate the statutory holiday after these eight days! If you must start work, you will be paid three times the salary. Wei Bao doesn't have so much energy, the marriage didn't develop in the direction he envisioned, and he felt sorry for Wu Xuexia and Zhao Jinfeng, a fly in the ointment.
"Yes, President, I'll do it right away." Lin Wenbiao nodded and agreed.
In this way, a large-scale preparatory office for the marriage of the president was established.
Gu Bingqian, Zhu Yanxi, Wei Guangwei, Zhou Rupan, Huang Liji, Ding Shaoshi, and other cabinet ministers have formed a cabinet matchmaker group with great face.
With such a beautiful matchmaking group, except for Master Wei, no one else in the world can make it.
Feng Quan, who is also a cabinet minister, doesn't even have the qualifications to be a matchmaker, so he can only lead a horse and whip Wei Bao as a groom.
Because Feng Quan is Wei Bao's house slave, Wei Bao's people go to Feng Quan's house all day long to ask for the gold and silver they owe, and now Feng Quan still owes more than 200,000 taels of gold, in his early thirties, his hair is already all white, he was originally a beautiful man, but now he feels like a person in his fifties and sixties, very old.
Fortunately, Wei Bao did not embarrass Feng Quan too much, and asked Feng Quan to hand over all the family property, and after copying the homes of some relatives who are close to Feng Quan, he finally left Feng Quan's life.
Feng Quan originally thought that relying on Wei Zhongxian's power, he was not afraid of Wei Bao at all, but he didn't expect that Wei Bao's people would arbitrarily squeeze him, and Wei Zhongxian didn't care at all.
Wei Bao is now in such a big limelight in Jingshi and Beizhili, Feng Quan can be regarded as a great contribution, and a cabinet minister has to be a slave to Wei Bao.
Even if Wei Bao was only a small fifth-grade official before, no one would dare to underestimate Wei Bao.
Now that Wei Bao was given the will of the emperor because of the big wedding, he was promoted to the fourth grade, and no one dared to despise Lord Wei.
In this way, the day of marriage was set, and four days later, it was an auspicious day of the zodiac.
At dusk that day, Gu Bingqian, Zhu Yanxi, Wei Guangwei, Zhou Rupan, Huang Liji, and Ding Shaoshi, a group of cabinet ministers, accompanied Mr. Wei to the British Mansion to ask for relatives.
Feng Quan personally led the horse and whipped Wei Bao and acted as a groom.
Although it was a marriage set by the emperor's own holy decree, the procedure that should be followed was the same.
Wei Bao was not stingy, and took out all the thousand taels of gold rewarded by the emperor as a dowry.
The convoy beat gongs and drums, and this dusk alarmed the entire Jingshi.
Now everyone knows that Master Wei is going to marry Miss British Mansion.
All the Tiandihui businesses around the capital have been lit up and are very lively.
