Chapter 129 Divination of Auspicious Days In preparation for the summer, the pulp paper on the window lattice to prevent cold and warmth was removed and replaced with fine mesh soft breeze of late spring blew, ruffling the long hair of the young master sitting in front of the desk.
Wei Ji was patiently arranging the defense matters in the north.
Yong State, Zhao State and Yan State were fighting fiercely. A large number of Zhao State refugees entered Wei State from the north and were eager to be addition, in order to prevent Zhao State from taking the opportunity to draw Wei State into the battlefield, every general guarding the gate must be given instructions.
Wei Zipei stood for a moment outside the palace door. Seeing Wei Ji's frowning expression, he couldn't bear to disturb him.
After all, the news she brought was not good.
Her brother has always been better informed than her. If he heard about Jiang He's wedding, he would not be so calm.
That's what he doesn't know.
You will know later, it was only recently that she understood how to care about someone's mood.
"Zi Pei."
After turning around and walking a few steps, Wei Zipei suddenly heard Wei Ji's call again.
"Brother." She turned around, folded her hands and saluted solemnly.
Wei Zipei is 16 years old this year and can no longer behave like a child like before.
"Are you okay?" Wei Ji looked a little tired and asked, raising his eyes.
"Nothing else," Wei Zipei forced a smile, "I just heard..."
"Zipei," Wei Ji interrupted her, "I'm very busy here."
"What are you busy with, brother?" Wei Zipei stepped in and stopped mentioning the topic of Jiang He.
"As for the refugees, I think we should take them in and resettle them and let them reclaim wasteland. As long as one person in the family is willing to join the army, the rest can be naturalized. There are also several generals in the north who need to change their defense rotations. Brother Wei also needs to make arrangements. In addition, His Majesty has made great progress in his studies this year, and it is time to start studying political affairs. His mother is not in good health, and the medical records sent by the imperial doctor are very thick. I am worried about this, and I want to read them one by one..."
So many things.
But why is it explained in such detail one by one?
In the past, he would only say, "Zipei will go play first, and my brother will go see you when he is done."
Wei Zipei looked down and saw the red color on the desks pressed by bamboo slips.
The round scroll, the smooth fabric, the loosened rope, and the deliberately concealed look.
That's a marriage was a marriage certificate that the elder brother and Jiang He pretended to get married in order to start a war with Chu State.
Wei Zipei nodded, advised his brother to take care of his health, then turned and left.
The weather outside is fine. Diagonally across from the Gongzi Mansion is the courtyard where Princess Jiang He of Anguo once , she stepped in.
As soon as you look at it, you can see that the window lattice here has also been replaced with palace screens, and a few new moong red trees have been planted under the window, and their buds have already bloomed.
A servant was sweeping the house. When he saw Wei Zipei coming in, he knelt down to say hello.
She didn't come here many times, and she even had a pear smashed all over her body by Jiang Ben here.
It seems that Jiang Ben's voice can still be heard in his ears.
——"You call my sister by her name, you deserve a beating... You don't know how to fight back when you are beaten, you deserve a beating... Now that you know this, if you still dare to be arrogant here, I will ask your new king of Wei , marry you back to Qi State, and beat you every day!"
What a hateful man he is.
That pear tree was also hateful. It carried my brother's expectations, but it didn't bring him good luck.
Wei Zipei strode across the front yard, wanting to go under the pear tree and kick it to vent his anger, but found that there was no room in the backyard to stand.
Every inch of land here has been disturbed.
As if the farmers were carefully tending the farmland, the pear trees were surrounded by high cofferdams, and there were traces of irrigation in the the cofferdam outward, the soil in the entire yard has been turned over with shovels, revealing dark soil.
"What are you doing?" Wei Zipei raised his hand and asked.
"Young Master came here last night," the steward guarding the courtyard replied, "he worked here all night and left at dawn."
After working all night, no wonder he looks so tired even though he was tired, he kept doing things to distract himself.
He got it.
Knowing that Jiang He is going to marry Zhao Zheng, knowing that their love is indestructible.
Wei Zipei suddenly felt that his strength had been drained, and he felt helpless and guilty.
She turned around and walked out. When she passed the place where Jiang Ben was beaten, she kicked the ground hard.
"hateful!"
Jiang Ben, who was taking inventory of the warehouse, suddenly touched his buttocks.
"Your Highness, everything you want is here." The chamberlain reported back. Seeing Jiang Ben's strange behavior, he lowered his head and stepped away a little.
"Why does my butt suddenly hurt?" He shook his head, a little angry. "Also, how can you pack enough for a hundred cars with just this little stuff?"
The head of the chamberlain lowered his head: "Your Majesty means that there is no need to take so much. When Princess Xuanji got married, she only prepared thirty carts of dowry. I heard that when Princess An Guo left Yong State, she exchanged all the dowry for gold. The bread was taken away. So..."
So in fact, my sister has already taken a share, and now it’s okay to just do it hastily?
Jiang Ben felt that the pain in his butt was not enough.
He kicked the chamberlain and shouted: "With those dowry, isn't she doing things for her mother country? This time, I personally went to the Yong State to see off my bride. If it is not rich enough, it will bring shame to the entire Qi State. I will go there myself." Tell your father, just go ahead and move! Pick something good, expensive, and big! When I look back, I realize something is wrong and I will chop off your dog’s head!”
The servant was so frightened that he obeyed the order and knelt on the ground. Jiang Ben passed him and went straight to the king of Qi.
Carriages were parked outside the warehouse. Jiang Ben suddenly stopped at one place and looked at the window lattice of the carriage, feeling a little startled.
The window lattice of this carriage seemed to be the same as that of the carriage he used to imprison Wei Zipei.
Thinking of this, he suddenly slapped his head.
Why did you suddenly think of her? That woman is very annoying. If I see her back in Yongguo this time, I will definitely beat her again.
Although Zhao Zheng couldn't wait for a moment, the wedding time was still determined by Lord Fengchang, who did divination and stargazing, and cracked many tortoise shells, before finally settling on the date when the weather starts to cool down in late summer.
I heard that when Zhao Zheng heard about this time in the court, he dismissed it.
Master Fengchang said that if you get married at this time, the couple can have a deep love and live as long as Nanshan.
Zhao Zheng's frown opened slightly, which was correct.
In this way, Jiang He also had enough time to prepare things for the wedding.
She has no parents, and the title of Princess An Guo is basically a false title given by Qi State. She doesn't know where to start preparing.
But because she lives in the palace now, Zhao Zheng is arranging these things.
It means that he paid for the betrothal gift and the dowry.
"For such an advantageous thing, if I can get married a few more times, I'll make a lot of money." Jiang He said with a smile while sitting in the courtyard of Zhiyang Palace, looking at the gift list.
"Your Highness," Cai Ling, who was already wearing the clothes of a palace maid, couldn't help but remind her, "You have been married twice."
The smile on Jiang He's face became even brighter.
"Really, but this time we don't have to go to the embassy. We should get married in our own house."
That's considered her mother's family.
It's nice to have a is no need to stay in the palace of the King of Qi, and there is no need to run around in panic.
It's just that there are things in this home that make her uncomfortable.
For example, Queen Mother Ji Man.
"How is Princess Anguo's health?"
Taking advantage of the pretext of arranging wedding ceremonies, the Queen Mother came to visit many having tea, I would also ask this question inadvertently.
Jiang He was eating candied fruit. When he heard this, he put it down and replied: "I am in good health. I can pull the crossbow and ride the horse to hunt rabbits."
Because she has not yet married into the palace, she does not need to call herself "servant" or "concubine" at this time.
"No more." The Queen Mother waved her hand and immediately stopped her, showing a frightened look. "You and Your Majesty have had a long time together. Since you are in good health, you should think about the royal family. Why are you still hunting rabbits?"
Jiang He nodded in agreement and acted obedient.
The Queen Mother felt relieved, and after thinking for a while, she added: "I heard that there is a sweet spring at the foot of Jiuwei Mountain, and those who drink from it can give birth to children. It is very effective. Princess An Guo might as well go there when she is free. This kind of thing must be done in person. Only when you go can you show respect for the gods of heaven and earth."
"Okay," Jiang He responded immediately, "I'm going to ride a horse right now. Prepare your horse quickly!"
The Queen Mother was so frightened that she jumped up again, "Why are you riding a horse again?"
"Ride faster."
The Queen Mother shook her head, and ordered her servants to arrange carriages and horses for Jiang He. She also asked Lord Fengchang to ask him if he wanted to go on a good and auspicious day.
Now there is no need to set off immediately.
Jiang He thought for a while, I'm afraid there aren't enough turtle shells in Master Fengchang's place.
After busy gesticulating, the Queen Mother finally left.
Jiang He, however, sent someone to call Li Wenzhou, the chief servant.
"Aweng," she asked straight to the point, "Is there anyone new with the Queen Mother?"
