All Hail Cousin Brother

The boy who went out to inquire about the news came back soon: "...the people outside said that at midnight last night, it was the princess's auspicious day. The snow came at a coincidence, and it came even more wonderfully. It was the princess's virtue and kindness that was praised by the world. Heaven and earth, their holiness, goodness and kindness have moved God, so God will send down auspicious snow, which is the icing on the cake, and also a timely help. When the princess is in good luck, the auspiciousness will fall from the sky, this is a good omen..."

Aunt Xu frowned, her face a little solemn.

Yu Youyao changed her clothes and came out. She happened to hear this and said to the boy: "Go down first and ask Manager Mo to come over."

The boy quickly kowtowed and retreated.

Manager Mo came in a hurry.

Yu Youyao briefly mentioned some rumors outside, and then said: "The rumors will definitely become more and more intense. The servants in Yuyuan must be restrained. During this period, they should be careful in their words and deeds, and do not follow others' opinions."

Manager Mo withdrew with a solemn expression.

The room fell silent.

As usual, Aunt Xu raised her hand to touch her head to comfort her, but when her eyes fell on her rounded bun, she suddenly realized that the little girl had grown up and had a hair extension ceremony. , she was no longer the little girl she used to be, hiding softly in her arms like a little piglet, doing coquettish moves and wanting to have her head touched.

Aunt Xu put down her hand, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her: "This snow really comes at a good time, and the people don't mean any harm. It's you who have done so much for the North. Everyone is grateful for your kindness."

Yu Youyao shook his head: "The auspicious snow heralds a good year. It can be seen that the auspicious snow falls in the twelfth lunar month to usher in a good year. But now October has just arrived, and this winter is still very long. If it snows continuously, it will definitely cause a snow disaster. The Guanzhong area has been in drought for four consecutive years. Those who couldn't bear it all fled to Liaodong, but most people were unwilling to leave their homes and were still struggling to support themselves in their hometowns. When the snow disaster comes, many people may freeze to death."

The snow was good, but the timing was wrong.

So is this really auspiciousness from heaven?

If a snow disaster really happened, the rumors outside would become a big joke.

Aunt Xu sighed softly: "Liaodong area has had a bumper harvest for three consecutive years, especially last year and this year. Because of the green manure, the crop yield has increased a lot. The Yamen also has grain in stock to help the victims. Snow is better than no snow at all. After all, after this snow comes, the people will have hope after surviving the winter. But if it doesn’t snow, next year will be a hopeless year. This snow is auspicious snow for everyone."

Once a person has hope, he can sustain himself no matter how difficult it is.

Without hope, life cannot go on.

Yu Youyao sighed softly: "Auntie, the battle on the front line is stalemate. The Di people are afraid of the power of King Wu Mu and have not easily sent troops. However, the snow disaster is tantamount to annihilation for the nomadic people who lack supplies and rely on herding and hunting for a living. In the face of survival, they will abandon all scruples."

Aunt Xu patted her hand: "Don't think too much. We have survived the drought for several years. It's nothing more than soldiers coming to block it, and water coming and soil flooding it. I think His Highness has already thought about it."

Yu Youyao's hair-raising ceremony came to an end vigorously in the sudden heavy snow.

The rumors got worse and worse, but Yu Yuan was not affected.

The next day, the old princess of Longjun called Yu Youyao and looked at her with a smile: "Good boy, I want you to know that the court attaches great importance to your marriage to King Wu Mu. Now that your period of filial piety has expired, you have also reached the age of hairpin. Year of the year is the time when we are talking about marriage. I came here this time because I was entrusted by the imperial court to protect this matchmaker for you."

It's not that the court granted marriage, so there was no need for a matchmaker.

Engagement requires a matchmaker to make peace, and marriage requires a matchmaker to protect the matchmaking, so that the marriage can be considered smooth and smooth.

The old princess of Long County has secured the matchmaker, and the next three letters and six etiquette will be handed over to the official media.

The imperial court directly asked the old princess of Long County to come over to protect the matchmaker, which meant that the imperial court had settled with Yin Huaixi. Yu Youyao blushed: "Marriage has been an order of the parents since ancient times. According to the matchmaker, the elders will make the decision on this matter. "

The old princess of Long County smiled deeply: "In that case, when I return to the capital, I will personally visit the Yu Mansion, meet your father, complete the etiquette, and then ask the official media to prepare three letters and six etiquettes. You won’t be wronged by the custody.”

Yu Youyao nodded slightly. Yu Zongzheng had no control over her marriage, but she couldn't go beyond him in terms of etiquette.

The old princess of Long County did not mention the wedding date, because she had to complete the three books and six rituals first. The war in the north was not yet decided, so the Qintian Supervisor would choose a few auspicious days and decide which day was suitable for the wedding.

The old princess of Long County was also unambiguous, and even went to Prince Wu Mu's Mansion in person to meet with Butler Wen: "Prince Zhou Li and his wife have left for immortality. As the emperor is an uncle, the etiquette in the three books and six etiquettes should be carefully implemented by the uncle. But the emperor is the emperor, and the etiquette should be handed over to the clan to organize it on your behalf. My son, Prince Long, has entrusted me to take over the matter and make sure that the etiquette is done properly."

Including the marriage of a princess, the marriage of a prince to a concubine, etc., the etiquette that should be performed by the emperor is left to the clan.

Butler Wen quickly said: "His Royal Highness sent a letter earlier, mentioning his marriage to Princess Chang."

Every word in the letter is sincere and full of praise for Princess Shao Yichang. He keeps saying that Princess Chang is of noble character, admiring Princess Chang for her talent, virtue and character, and is grateful for the grace of the Emperor and the Queen Mother for their adult beauty. He bluntly says that this life is not for long. The princess did not want to marry, and she also expressed her deep regret for the fact that the war on the front line was stalemate and that she could not escape, so she begged the clan to arrange the marriage with all their heart, and not to neglect the princess...

In addition, the letter mentioned the arrangements for the Three Books and Six Rites, and attached the gift list of the Three Books and Six Rites.

Although the person was not here, the wedding ceremony was carried out and the etiquette should be thorough and decent. They were all explained in detail and clearly.

It can be seen that King Wu Mu valued Princess Shao Yichang very much.

The old princess of Long County took a rough look at the gift list. There were nine gift lists in total. Not to mention the richness of the gift lists, the exquisiteness in them was in every aspect, and there were no mistakes or omissions.

Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that this gift list was not prepared in a day or two. I am afraid that King Wu Mu started preparing the gift list when the Queen Mother conferred the wedding.

The most surprising thing is that all the gifts on the gift list are placed in the Villa of Prince Wu Mu in Beijing.

It can be seen that King Wu Mu has been preparing for the marriage for a long time.

The old princess of Long County couldn't help but smile deeply: "Princess Chang is the most noble daughter of my great Zhou Dynasty. The marriage should be handled with caution so that King Wu Mu can rest assured."

The matter of protecting the matchmaker was completed, and the old princess of Longjun set off to return to Beijing.

Yu Youyao arranged for people to take good care of them on the road, and sent off the old princess of Long County and her party with gratitude and reluctance.

Princess Lishan stayed in Xiangping.

Yu Youyao also started busy with matters to prevent snow disasters.
