151 Engagement (Part 1)
However, internal strength is allowed. Fortunately, Qin Shubao's external skills have reached a great success. He is already perfect and is only half a step away from returning to the essence. This makes him not regress if he does not practice external skills for several months. Otherwise, if Qin Shubao cannot practice external skills during the past few months, if he doesn't know how much he will regress!
After completing the routine work every morning, Zhang Yang went to his parents to prepare for breakfast, and today's business was in charge.
As the last step of engagement, you must worship ancestors before departure.
Since the Zhang family moved from Luoyang to Chang'an, the Zhang Yang family did not return to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors, but instead worshiped their ancestors in a room in the backyard of the Zhang family's ancestors.
This is the third time the Zhang family worshiped their ancestors after they moved from Luoyang, the eastern capital, to Chang'an City. Of course, the first two times were all because of Zhang Yue's title. It was not that there was a big deal that needed to be worshipped by the ancestors!
After Zhang Yang's family had breakfast early, they took a shower and changed their clothes again. Zhang Yang, led by Zhang's father Zhang Yue, accompanied his mother to this quiet courtyard located in a corner of Zhang's mansion.
Under the reflection of the midwinter season, the quiet courtyard, set off by the surrounding trees, seemed even more quiet and lifeless.
Since the Zhang family has been single-handed for nine generations in recent generations, Zhang Yue, as the head of the Zhang family, has become the patriarch of the Zhang family. Originally, the patriarch worshipping the ancestors needed to be held by the patriarch, but since Zhang Yue was the patriarch, Zhang Yue prepared everything for worshiping the ancestors.
First, Zhang Yue pushed open the door of the room with the Spirit Status Card. Zhang Yue, who was the patriarch and head of the family, took the lead in walking in, followed by Zhang Yang and Wang Yun.
The Zhang family is not enough to be a family of nine generations, so the only ones who can participate in the ancestor worship are Zhang Yue, Zhang Yang and Wang Yun. As for Sun Xuexue and Lihua, although Wang Yun thinks they are goddaughters, since they have not yet entered the Zhang family's genealogy, Lihua and Lihua are not qualified to participate in the Zhang family's ancestor worship ceremony!
Zhang Yang walked into the hall and saw that dozens of ancestors of the Zhang family, starting from the first ancestor recorded in the Zhang family's genealogy, were placed on the table in the middle of the hall!
There was a controlled incense burner in front of the spiritual tablet, and a fire candle was lit on both sides, which burned and illuminated the entire ancestral hall. On the ground in front of the table were three clean cushions, which looked brand new, obviously not used for a long time, nor had they been used several times.
Zhang's mother Wang Yun took a box of cakes and cakes for recruitment and gave them to Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue displayed them on the table of the ancestors' gods. After the cakes were placed, Zhang Yue lit the incense candle.
Then the family of three knelt on the three cushions placed in sequence on the ground in front of the table, and began to worship the ancestors and pray for the ancestors and ask the ancestors to bless the happy marriage.
After worshiping the ancestors and ancestors, Zhang Yang led him away from the ancestral hall. The second thing today begins. 1
Zhang Yang, who had completed the ancestor worship, came and came outside the gate. At this time, everyone who was waiting for Zhang Yang to go to the woman's house saw Zhang Yang and started to make a fuss. Since the Zhang family was a single-handed family of nine generations, there was no relative or relative, and the tribute tribute officer who wanted to hold the box had to be the elders of Wang Yun, the mother of his side.
The lineup of accompanying Zhang Yang to the woman's house to engage in this time was also quite powerful. The third-rank senior official Du Ruhui and Du served as the matchmaker. Before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he was asked to let Zhang Yang pretend to be Li Mingyu's husband in the eastern capital Luoyang!
Now, the two of them have changed from fake marriage to real marriage. This is a fake drama! The Six Lessons are not enough. 1 Although it was cut off during the Jin Dynasty, isn’t this already the Tang Dynasty? Besides, the Six Lessons had begun to be restored as early as the Sui Dynasty. Of course, they were restored by the previous dynasty after unifying the world, and the crown prince took the lead in restoring the Six Lessons.
Since the overtime couple is matched by you, Du Ruhui, Zhang Yang and Li Mingyu are really going to be married this time, then this big mediaman will definitely not be able to escape.
At this time, Wang Shu, who had not seen each other for a long time, and Wang Qi and Wang Biao, the two cousins of his uncle, began to joke with Zhang Yang as soon as he saw Zhang Yang:
"Baby, how long hasn't been seen now! Since you are about to get engaged, it's so fast. It's only been two months since you've reached this point and let your uncle know that you've done a good job of keeping secrets!
I remember that your mother was worried about your marriage two months ago, so I told her that she didn’t have to worry. You have not had a fate. As long as the fate comes, you will definitely bring your mother a beautiful daughter-in-law back. It turns out that less than two months have passed. Your fate has indeed arrived. Now you have reached the stage of engagement.
Now your mother doesn't have to worry about your marriage, you don't have to look for matchmakers everywhere, and you'll be able to help you with news about unmarried ladies from various families. You can wait for your good wife to come to your house with peace of mind and then hold your fat grandson! Ha! Ha,
Zhang Yang and Wang Yun were so ashamed! It was Wang Yun, now she hoped that the news of her fat grandson would spread throughout Chang'an. Wang Shu was standing at the gate of their Zhang Mansion. You should know that the Chinese have always had the habit of watching hot lots since ancient times. Didn't you hear later generations say that only dead rats would surround people on the inside and outside, let alone Zhang Yang's engagement today! The fact is that at this time, there are many people watching the fun in front of the Zhang Mansion!
Moreover, because the Zhang family is sparsely populated, they are so passionate that they come to accompany the town with their intelligence friends. The organizations here include Cheng Yaojin, the big-mouthed family who are close to the Zhang family!
Since there are very few people who know Zhang Yang's engagement partner, Wang Biao, the cousin who has the best relationship with Zhang Yang, asked Zhang Yang:
"Cousin, how long have you been to Chang'an City? You are ready to get married. 1 Is this girl in Chang'an City really better than the girl in Luoyang, the Eastern Capital? You have been in Luoyang for so long, and you are famous for being a woman. It's incredible that you don't have a woman to like you. You must know that you have quite a few female fans in Luoyang! There are also many of them who are not married. You are engaged and ready to get married. I don't know how many female fans you want to make you sad. 1
Also, cousin, you are too fast. You got engaged in less than two months. Which woman from the family makes you so addicted and tied your heart up like this!
Marriage is the grave of love. Marriage is digging a hole and burying yourself in it. This is what you said! Last time you told me that you are not as young as the age of twentieth, and you don’t plan to get married. Why did you change your mind so quickly? This is to change it just by changing 1
Tell us, it is the lady from that family. With such great magic, you are willing to dig a hole and bury yourself, and let us meet your sister-in-law! As your gentle cousin, I have never seen my sister-in-law yet.
Look! It turns out that I have been with Zhang Yang for a long time and have become a fool. Although Wang Biao was a bit slut in the past, it has not yet reached the point of destroying his cousin's position! This is indeed evil and evil will be retribution. It is not that the time has not come. Now Zhang Yang has eaten the bitter fruit he has planted himself, and he has not passed his cynical attitude to Wang Biao, which has made him become a bit of a social attitude between people in the future. It's okay. A few close friends and friends are making jokes, increasing their relationships with each other.
Everyone present was not prepared for Wang Biao's shattering. Well, in the face of Wang Biao's sudden shattering, Zhang Yang was caught off guard, and the onlookers laughed constantly.
In particular, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde's family laughed the most, while Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling and the family they brought also laughed loudly, and they immediately got involved in the relationship between several families, especially the relationship between several families' younger generations.
You should know that although Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling are civil officials, the level of educating their sons is really quite good! In the end, except for Fang Xuanling's eldest son who became a little successful, the other sons of these two were all like ordinary rich sons. They were abolished, completely abolished, and they all fell on rebellion. Of course, there are other reasons. But their essence is not good, that is certain!
This was caused by Wang Biao’s simple joke, which made the relationship between several juniors unthinkable. However, it was also popular among the adults!
However, Zhang Yang still has to answer Wang Biao’s question. After all, it’s not time to get engaged, so we can’t hide it from the woman. Besides, although the Xiangcheng Princess Li Mingyu is still a relatively secret matter, there are still many people in the top leaders of the Tang Dynasty who are very clear about it. Especially with the Zhang family’s recent busy series of things to get engaged!
Things that outsiders know, especially the existence of the big mouths of Xiang Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, even Xiang Baoxin can't be kept secret. It must not be hidden from his uncle's family. So Zhang Yang said to his uncle Wang Shu:
"Uncle, do you still remember what happened that day when I went to your house to look for you in the eastern capital Luoyang before I came to Chang'an City!"
"I know, it's when you came to me one day. I went to your house to communicate with your father. After my brother-in-law communicated, you were sent by your father to Chang'an City to deal with the business in Chang'an City. What does that matter have to do with your engagement today? Who is your engagement this time?"
Wang Shu was very surprised at the last time that Zhang Yang mentioned that the two of them met in his mansion in Luoyang before he came to Chang'an City. He asked you to come to Chang'an City to help Li Shimin, who was still the King of Qin at that time, deal with the "pseudo-Emperor, Li Jiancheng". What does this have to do with your engagement today? 1
However, he felt something was wrong as he thought about it. Since Zhang Yang said this, he must have made sense. At that time, Zhang Yang came to Chang'an City and did nothing in fact. At the suggestion of Du Ruhui, he pretended to be a couple and fooled the then emperor Li Jiancheng with Li Mingyu, the princess of Xiangcheng at that time.
My brother-in-law and sister suddenly posted to her house a few days ago about Zhang Yang's engagement today. She was also shocked at that time. She thought that her sister's baby son could not resist her sister introducing the lady to him, tried blind dates, and agreed to a marriage. It seems that she is not
Thinking about the two things Zhang Yang did in Chang'an City not long ago that caused a sensation in Chang'an City, he should be punished by His Majesty and was suspended from home to think about his mistakes! How could he choose to go to the enlistment today!
Also, the fact that my brother-in-law has recently repaired a new family for his nephew is very strange. The new family has been repaired significantly more than the specifications! This is too extravagant and wasteful, and if a villain complains, he might be beheaded! At that time, I was also surprised that my brother-in-law and his sister's family did such a terrible thing!
I persuaded me for a long time and the reply I got was fine. This was a reward for Zhang Yang, and His Majesty allowed it. Why did I believe it so simply at that time!
The strange things ahead, and the matchmaker now is Du Ruhui, he is crazy! Du Ruhui, who is in the Du Duan, is now a third-rank official, how can the Minister of Revenue become a mediator for Zhang Yang? You must know that the identity of the woman who can let him be a mediator is definitely not simple!
After comparing these conditions, Wang Shu came to a conclusion that if the woman Zhang Yang got engaged was Princess Li Mingyu of Xiangcheng, then these things could be perfectly connected.
But when he came to this conclusion, he also made a big jump. This fake drama came true, which was incredible!
Sure enough, Zhang Yang received the words of Wang Shu who was a little startled just now and said:
"Yes, uncle, you guessed it right. I'm going to get engaged to Princess Xiangcheng this time, thanks to your matchmaking with Mr. Du. If it weren't for you, I would definitely not have a chance and would not have been engaged to Mingyu. I would like to thank you here. After I come back in the evening, I will definitely toast to the two elders alone to express my gratitude!"
Zhang Yang's words surprised those who didn't know the inside story by surprise at the energy of Du Ruhui and Wang Shu. He was able to pimp the emperor's eldest princess and successfully!
However, Zhang Yue, Cheng Yaojin and others who knew the inside story were laughing crazy. Of course, these people were all holding on to their mission and not letting their laughter come out, which made these people feel uncomfortable.
Zhang Yang is completely a good person, not only to say that he is still doing his best, but also to be the mission of the king of a king of a man, you two are not kind at that time, you can't imagine that!
After a while of this, everyone got off the car and drove to Youxiangyuan outside the east gate of Chang'an City after the matchmaker Du Ruhui 1. Those big and small hired things specially prepared for engagement must be carried by the carrying husband.
Chapter completed!
