Chapter 400 Wedding 1
Ye Daquan then showed a little smile:
"That's right. From now on, we will all stay in the village for a long time."
Ye Caiping coughed dryly: "Well...it's very likely, probably...Zhiyan will stay in Beijing to be an official."
"What did you say?" Ye Daquan's eyes widened. "Didn't we agree to hold another party in the village in March?"
Ye Caiping touched her forehead and said, "Let's go back to the village first, and then we'll go to Beijing in December."
She and Shen Zhiyan discussed it with the Queen Mother, and Shen Zhiyan agreed to serve as the Grand Tutor and the Imperial Preceptor to the young Emperor.
But he had to be given a year, and he had to accompany Ye Caiping back to his hometown to deal with business issues.
The Queen Mother also agreed.
Ye Caiping said: "Let's go back to the village and live there for a year, and then we will go to Beijing."
Ye Daquan was a little upset: "This, this, this... I remember when he first proposed marriage, he said he would stay in Yue'an County... Why did he change again?"
Ye Caiping said: "Brother, people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Let's not talk about us, just talk about Xuan'er, what is he working hard for in the imperial examination?"
Mrs. Du said: "Of course, he should be an official!"
Ye Caiping: "Yes! Two years later, when Xuan'er passes the imperial examination, he will have to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination. If he passes both the imperial examination and the palace examination, he will have to stay in Beijing to serve as an official."
"When the time comes, won't you follow him to the capital, brother and sister-in-law?"
Ye Daquan and Du were stunned. They had never thought about this...
Ye Daquan said: "Well... I thought that after he graduated from high school, he would return to our Yue'an County to serve as the county magistrate or something..."
Ye Xuan was speechless and said, "Dad, even if I was really unworthy and was demoted to be a county magistrate, it would not be Yue'an County. All local officials cannot return to their hometowns to serve."
Ye Daquan was stunned: "Why?"
"Because it will lead to nepotism and abuse of power... Meaning, if I return to Yue'an County as the county magistrate, won't the entire county be dependent on our Ye family? Even our relatives can act arrogantly and take advantage of the situation to cause trouble and oppress the people. The court doesn't want this to happen."
Later Ye Daquan understood.
Ye Caiping said: "In the future, if Xuan'er stays in Beijing, you, big brother, should also come to Beijing. We will also be in Beijing, so won't we be able to be together?"
Ye Daquan was stunned: "It seems to be the case, then what about Yong'er and Xiuxiu..."
Ye Caiping said, "It depends on where they like. I plan to set up a furniture workshop and a glass workshop in the suburbs of Beijing. If they like Beijing, they can stay in Beijing. If they like the village, they can stay in the village."
Ye Daquan thought to himself, wherever my little sister goes, he will go!
Anyway, Xuan'er wants to stay in Beijing to be an official, so he has to stay here no matter what!
After figuring it out, Ye Daquan was not so unhappy anymore.
When Ye Caiping saw him smile, she smiled too.
Ye Jin'er said: "Mother...after you marry Mr. Shen, do we also have to be included in the Shen family tree?"
"Um."
"Then are we still surnamed Ye?"
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "You can choose whatever surname you like!"
Mrs. Du said, "Of course, we can do whatever is convenient. We are not without people in our family, and we don't expect you to pass on the Ye family."
"Jin'er and Huan'er, you will both get married in the future. After you get married, can your baby take your surname Ye?"
"You still plan to stay in the capital, so in the future when you get along with others or in various occasions, how will others introduce or address you? Say, this is Ye Jin'er from the Shen family?"
"Of course people who know won't ask too many questions, but those who don't know will always ask again. Why do you have the surname Ye when you are from the Shen family? You have to explain it every time. How troublesome!"
Even Ye Daquan nodded and said, "Listen to your aunt."
It's not like I can't accept Shen Zhiyan as my stepfather. There's really no need to make myself an exception.
Ye Caiping didn't take this kind of thing very seriously. She herself was an orphan, and her surname was chosen according to the order of the Hundred Family Surnames. The one who was admitted this year was named Zhao, and the one who will be admitted next year will be named Qian.
The people in her group were surnamed Ye.
In modern times, it is easy to understand to say that one takes the mother's surname, but in ancient times it required several explanations.
There is no need to cause trouble for yourself just to flaunt your so-called individuality. The Great Zhou was a feudal dynasty, so why bother looking for trouble?
Ye Jin'er and Ye Huan'er looked at each other and nodded: "Then let's call ourselves Shen!"
Everyone chatted until almost midnight, then went back to their rooms to rest.
As he returned to his room, Ye Daquan muttered to Mrs. Du: "Let's go to the wedding tomorrow and see how I embarrass him."
Mrs. Du pinched him and said, "You are not a child anymore, why are you still so childish? Don't make me angry."
"Bah, who can't go through five levels of trials and tribulations to get married? If he gets married, he'll be pissed, what's the point of getting married!"
"Also, when Li Zhiyuan got married last time, we couldn't make things difficult for him. Just thinking about it makes me suffocate! If he also acts so high and mighty, he would be the same kind of person as Li Zhiyuan! I will stand there tomorrow and won't let him pass!"
When Li Zhiyuan married Ye Caiping, he was very arrogant.
When they went to pick up the bride, they just asked him to drink one more glass of wine, but Li Zhiyuan turned his face stern and said he wanted to go back home and not marry.
Ye Caiping was also eager to get married back then. When she saw others leaving, she rushed out in a red dress and jumped into the bridal sedan, scolding Ye Daquan and others.
......
The 20th day of the first lunar month is Ye Caiping and Shen Zhiyan’s wedding day.
Early in the morning of that day, Ye Caiping was pulled out of bed by the servants, and then began to wash and put on makeup.
Ye Jin'er and Ye Huan'er also dressed up carefully today, wearing light red brocade clothes, with the same double-ring buns and a red tassel hairpin on each side.
Mrs. Du and Jinhua were also in the room, watching Ye Caiping put on her makeup.
It was not until Ye Caiping put on the phoenix crown that Ye Jiner exclaimed, "Mother is so beautiful today!"
Ye Huan'er covered her mouth and laughed: "Like an older sister."
The bridesmaid who was combing her hair smiled and said, "Ye Shuren has really good skin. She looks six or seven years younger than her peers."
Ye Caiping looked at the mirror and smiled.
In addition to her natural beauty, she also has technology and ruthlessness! How can it be bad if I use various skin care products that cost tens of thousands of dollars every day?
Ye Daquan went in and out, and after a while he said with pride: "My little sister is so pretty!"
He went out, and came back a moment later with a sad face: "It's a pity that someone took him away..."
The bridesmaid and the matchmaker were very angry and drove them away: "Go away, men are not allowed to come in anymore."
Ye Daquan had no choice but to lean against the door and watch, feeling aggrieved.
"Let's get the bride ready! Let's get the bride ready!" At this time, cheers came from outside.
"Hurry." The bridesmaid handed Ye Caiping a round fan.
The nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not wear veils when they got married, but used fans to cover their faces.
Ye Daquan jumped up and said excitedly: "Quick, Shanzi, call Xuan'er, Siquan and Bajin and the others, grab weapons and meet the enemy!"
