Chapter 465: Marriage
Chapter 465 Marriage
After the arrangements for the wine business were settled, Xie Yuan issued another imperial decree to marry An Lehou.
After the flower viewing banquet at the Princess Mansion, An Lehou met Yang Xintong and the other three girls separately under the arrangement of Pei Huaiyu and his wife soon after.
Princess Zhaoqing chose the Hanyun Temple outside the city as the meeting place.
Hanyun Temple is a small temple, and it is relatively far from the capital, so few people will come here to burn incense and worship Buddha.
But Princess Zhaoqing likes the plum grove in Hanyun Temple very much. When her grandfather was still alive, she used to go to Hanyun Temple to appreciate plum blossoms with her grandmother, mother, and aunt every winter.
Clean, few people, and beautiful scenery, isn't it the right place for unmarried men and women to see each other.
As the man, An Lehou was directly arranged by Pei Huaiyu to live in Hanyun Temple.
The three girls, including Yang Xintong, came in a carriage at the appointed time, accompanied them, and Princess Zhaoqing, who was a matchmaker, and their respective female elders.
Three times, An Lehou originally planned to participate only once, because after a brief contact with Yang Xintong, An Lehou had a better impression of her, and he thought it would be good if he married Yang Xintong.
He saves trouble, but Princess Zhaoqing can't follow him to save trouble.
No matter what, An Lehou is also the last emperor of the former dynasty. He can live himself as a transparent person, but the Xie royal family can't handle his marriage carelessly.
There was no other way, An Lehou had no choice but to meet the other two girls as usual.
However, compared with Yang Xintong, the other two girls are obviously not very suitable for him.
The pretty-looking one, changed from the clear soup noodle image when she went to the princess mansion for a banquet, when she met An Lehou, she was covered with dazzling jewels and pearls.
An Lehou didn't know whether she wanted to actively fight for it, so she used too much force, or deliberately dressed herself up in an appearance that didn't conform to his aesthetics. He just took a look at the girl, and felt as if he saw a moving jewelry shelf.
Gold, jade and precious stones reflected light under the reflection of the sun, and the white snow on the ground also reflected light under the reflection of the sun. The two kinds of light intersected with each other, and An Lehou couldn't help but burst into tears.
He couldn't bear it any longer, so he found a decent excuse and ran away.
The appearance is similar to Yang Xintong's style, the youngest girl among the three, An Lehou thinks she is cute, but she is too naive to be raised by her family, so she is not suitable for someone with a special status like him.
Compared in this way, the one that suits him best in the end, and the one he likes the most, is indeed Yang Xintong, whom he fell in love with from the very beginning.
Yang Xintong's aunt and uncle were lucky at first, thinking that their niece, who was two years older than An Lehou, would most likely not be selected by An Lehou, but unexpectedly, the one chosen by Anle Hou was actually their family. An "old girl" who was ridiculed behind her back for being unable to marry.
Xie Yuan issued the decree very quickly, and he went to the Yang family together with the decree, and he gave Yang Xintong the title of county head and a series of rewards.
Because the rewards are gifts from the emperor, and they were all given to Yang Xintong by name, no one else in the Yang family had the guts to try to get involved.
These things can only be controlled by Yang Xintong, whether it is before or after Yang Xintong gets married.
It’s okay to talk about the cloth, except for the piece of material given to Yang Xintong for the wedding dress, as long as Yang Xintong is willing to give other materials, the Yang family can actually follow a little.
But jewelry, decorations and other things are not good, all of them are marked, even Yang Xintong, she can only wear and display them by herself, but she cannot give them to others.
Giving such a reward, Xie Yuan was almost telling the Yang family that he was preventing them from bullying Yang Xintong, an orphan.
Yang Xintong's aunt and uncle were dumbfounded after hearing the imperial decree. They thought that the emperor would definitely not praise An Lehou and An Lehou's fiancée, but they didn't know that Xie Yuan not only promoted him, but also sent two nuns here.
These two nuns were previously raised by the Xie family. One of them was widowed and childless, and the other was divorced after being married to her husband's family for three years without a child. They never remarried.
Now that they are older, they don't have much work to do, but they are much more proficient in using things like rules and etiquette than ordinary people.
Xie Yuan sent them to Yang Xintong's side, one is to let them teach Yang Xintong some etiquette that Yang Xintong must learn, the other is to let them support Yang Xintong and help Yang Xintong take care of her marriage affairs, and the third is In order to find a place for them to retire.
Yang Xintong lives in the house of her uncle and aunt, and the only reliable and available person around her is a little maid whom she bought from outside. in the eyes.
The daily life of the master and servant in the Yang family is to endure all kinds of bullying from other people in the Yang family every day.
With the two nuns that Xie Yuan sent to the Yang family under the banner of the empress, at least no one dared to step on Yang Xintong before she got married.
There is also the dowry that Yang Xintong deserves. As long as the two nuns make it clear that they want to support Yang Xintong, Yang Xintong's uncle and aunt will not dare to take the risk of letting the two nuns go back to the palace to file a complaint. Those things that should belong to Yang Xintong.
The attitude of the emperor is the weather vane for the civil and military officials to do things. Xie Yuan attaches so much importance to An Lehou, the civil and military officials naturally dare not neglect the last emperor of the former dynasty.
When An Lehou got married, those officials in Daqi who were qualified to attend his wedding banquet basically all sent a generous gift to him.
In order to be familiar with Princess Zhaoqing, many officials even brought their wives and daughters.
Unlike them, Ye Anlan, who was entrusted by Xie Yuan to support Yang Xintong, took Yang Xiaotao, Wen Liuniang, Wei Zhen and other female officers and generals who were close to her, and went to Yang's house with great fanfare the day before the wedding. Tong added makeup.
Aunt Yang Xintong, who was receiving so many female officers and generals for the first time, kept shaking her hands. She was afraid that Ye Anlan and the others would be dissatisfied because of the Yang family's vague neglect of the wedding, and even twist their lips in front of the emperor because of it.
For the first time in her life, she regretted the kindness and cruelty she treated Yang Xintong.
What she didn't know was that what Xie Yuan wanted was actually such an effect.
As an emperor who has a strong control over all parts of the country, it is even more difficult to hide it from him if it happened on this one-third-acre land in the capital.
It was precisely because he knew how neglected the Yang family was in private, that's why he asked Ye Anlan to bring someone over to beat him up.
The effect of the beating was also obvious. After Ye Anlan and the others left, the Yang family's dedication to the marriage immediately went up a notch.
