All Hail Cousin Brother

Among these six rites, the greeting letter and the personal greeting need to be completed on the day of marriage. The other two letters and five rites are all completed by the elders of both parties.

"Book of Rites Shihunli" records: "Those who accept the levy also receive the betrothal wealth."

Zheng means success.

The betrothal fortune is collected first and then the marriage is consummated. Therefore, after the betrothal is completed, the ceremonial marriage contract is fully established.

At this point, the wedding has already been completed, and we can just wait for His Highness to come back, and then we can directly arrange the wedding. But everyone knows that the war in the north is tense, and His Highness is too busy to do anything, so naturally he cannot come back to get married.

There is no serious master in the palace who is in charge of the family home, so it is easy to talk about it in normal times, but during wartime, the operation of the palace is closely related to the war. Princess Chang and Prince Wu Mu were also married by the Queen Mother. At this time, they stepped forward to take charge of the affairs of the palace. It couldn't be more logical, and no one outside said anything.

Talking about [rules] now is alienating the relationship with the palace.

Yu Youyao softened her voice: "If there is anything urgent in the palace, send someone to send me a message. If it is not important, what happened in the past will be what it is now."

Butler Wen felt so cold that he sent Princess Chang out of the house.

As soon as he returned to Yuyuan, Yu Youyao went to Xie's Mansion.

The old lady held her hand and shouted distressedly: "Why do you look so thin again? You kid, I don't know how much I feel sorry for you. The merchant ship that went to sea a few days ago came back and brought a lot of American ginseng. This American ginseng warms and replenishes qi and blood, which is of great benefit to women, so you must take a good supplement."

He didn't ask her why he came back suddenly without even saying hello. He didn't ask her how she was doing at Prince Wu Mu's Mansion. He cared about her wholeheartedly.

Yu Youyao felt relieved for a while. It was the peace of mind that he had nothing to fear after having backup.

She couldn't help but smile and nod, and then changed the topic: "Third cousin has been out to sea with the merchant ship for a year or two, but he didn't come back with him this time?"

After arriving in Liaodong, third cousin Xie Jingliu completely let himself go. Most of the time, he went to sea with merchant ships, traveled overseas, and wrote many travel notes.

The travel notes recorded many experiences in overseas countries, as well as some medical skills, aromatic medicines, and agricultural and industrial technologies from overseas countries, which gave Yu Youyao a lot of knowledge.

The Xie family has been able to make more exquisite clocks, which are very popular in the north.

There is a very precious cochineal dye overseas, which is as bright and red as cinnabar. It is the only pigment comparable to cinnabar.

Yu Youyao used cochineal insects to make exquisite lipstick.

Speaking of her grandson, Mrs. Now, it’s time to arrange a marriage for him, start a family as soon as possible, and calm down his temper..."

Yu Youyao likes to listen to her grandmother's nagging, which sounds funny.

The family business has gradually been handed over to several cousins. The marriages of the cousins ​​have not yet been decided, and the family is not in a hurry. The current situation is turbulent, and there is no rush.

It's all caused by these troubled times.

After Lala Zaza talked a lot, Yu Youyao returned to Yu Yuan.

Mrs. Xie sighed softly and turned back to look for Mr. Xie.

In the entire Prince Wu Mu's palace, who can make Xiao Yao'er angry?

Except for Princess Liyang, who temporarily lived in Prince Wumu's Mansion and was known as the legitimate princess. Her status was lower than Xiao Yao'er's, but her status was much higher.

On the day of Xiao Yao'er's wedding ceremony, Princess Liyang was the only one who praised her. She was almost more elegant than Xiao Yao'er. Fortunately, Xiao Yao'er's dress and hairpin were made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

On the surface, she looks affectionate, but in Xiao Yao'er's eyes, there is a dark and cold look, and she is clearly not an easy person to get along with.

Within two days, Princess Liyang moved out of Prince Wumu's Mansion and moved into a villa in Xiangping City.

Immediately afterwards, news came out that King Wu Mu pursued some of the main forces in Beidi to Langjuxu Mountain, imitating Huo Guanhou and enfeoffing Langjuxu, becoming the fifth person in history to have done so.

King Wu Mu returned with a great victory. When he suddenly heard the bad news in Beijing, he went straight into North China along the Liaoxi Corridor without even taking a breath, and led his army to besiege Jingzhao.

Yu Youyao curled her lips, this is what Princess Liyang said:

King Mu has other important matters, but because of the seriousness of the matter, it is inconvenient to tell the princess. I think it will not be long before the princess will understand everything.

The Liang thieves marched all the way from Henan to Jingzhao and fought against Prince Duanjun and the Marquis of Zhenguo. They lost their troops and generals, and when they were exhausted, they urgently needed to gather the remaining troops in Jingzhao, replenish the army, rest and recuperate their strength, and then quickly occupy The natural defenses of Beijing and Tianjin prevented all crusade armies from Beijing and Tianjin.

Beijing and Tianjin have natural defensive advantages. Since ancient times, they have been easy to defend but difficult to attack.

As long as the Liang thieves control the Beijing-Tianjin defense line and buy enough supplies and rest time for the Liang army, Jingzhao will be unbreakable, and the Liang thieves' conspiracy will be completed.

However, Yin Huaixi took advantage of the fact that the Liang thief had just entered Beijing and had not yet taken control of the Beijing-Tianjin defense line, and cooperated with Queen Ning inside and outside, making the Liang thief completely a turtle in the urn.

The timing calculation was spot on.

As soon as the news of King Wumu's siege of Jingzhao came out, King Dongning, who had one foot inserted into the Tianzhao defense line, retreated to Shandong in panic, but still had no intention of returning to the vassal territory.

They also fight with snipe and clam, hoping that the fisherman will gain.

The King of Zhenxi, who was under the banner of "King Qin from the North", lay down on his back and shouted to King Wu Mu: "King Wu Mu is the orthodoxy of the Tian family. The Liang thieves kept saying that they usurped the throne and stole the country. Why didn't they say who was usurping the throne?" , Whose country have you stolen?! I am willing to mobilize some troops and let the generals of the Western Army lead the army northward, waiting for King Wu Mu to punish him, and assist King Wu Mu to kill the Liang thieves and establish the country."

The implication is: I will not go to Beijing, but the soldiers under my command will go to Beijing to listen to King Wu Mu's orders.

He handed over military power in disguise, and also flattered King Wu Mu.

The defection was so quick and complete that it was jaw-dropping.

The Western Army staff covered their faces: "Your Majesty, did you surrender too quickly..."

The King of Zhenxi said with a smile: "He led his troops to besiege Jingzhao, and he was unwilling to be subordinated to others. He is the orthodox member of the Tian family, and his fiancée Princess Shao Yichang is famous all over the world. This throne is simply not too logical."

Let him and Yin Huaixi compete for the throne. Is there some serious illness? !

How could he, a vassal king, be as legitimate as King Wu Mu?

King Wu Mu came back too quickly.

He sighed slightly: "You only saw how quickly I surrendered, but you didn't see the rivers of blood on the grassland. You didn't see Yin Huai's seal sealing the wolf to live in Xu. You're army was clearing the grassland one by one, and their eyes were red with killing. Look, The fate of the Di people, do you think Yin Huaixi can tolerate the vassal king's support of his own troops?"

The staff was speechless for a while, but could not refute.

His own prince was frightened by King Wu Mu's brutal act of slaughtering the grassland.
