The days passed one by one until three days before the wedding.
The villagers of Huojia Village also came to the capital.
This time, Gao Zhijun invited all the villagers to come to the wedding banquet.
Except for the elderly who were not suitable for the journey and stayed in the village, the rest came.
This time, Gao Zhijun hired eighty horse-drawn carriages to bring the villagers of Huojia Village and the servants of the Sun family, Huo family and her own family over, leaving only one guard to guard Huojia Village.
"Grandpa Lizheng, you've all been traveling so long, thank you for your hard work!"
Gao Zhijun, Huo Jinqian, Huo Jin, and Huo Zhiyuan greeted them together at the gate of the capital.
"It's not hard. I have a carriage to ride in. It's so comfortable."
The head of the village said with a smile.
This is his second time in the capital, and he has to thank Zhijun for this.
"We'll take you to your accommodation to rest first, and then we'll welcome you at the restaurant tonight."
Hawking said to the villagers of Huojia Village.
"Okay, thank you Uncle Hawking!"
"Brother Jin, you look like an official now, not the peasant you once looked like."
"Uncle Huo Jin, you're an official now, how can you still look like a peasant? Stop talking nonsense."
"Our girl Zhijun is still pretty, lively and charming, and has such a temperament that even the rich girls in the capital can't compare to her."
"Of course. Zhijun is not only the daughter of an official, she is also a princess. Who can compare to her?"
"Zhijun is beautiful, and Jinqian is handsome too. They are both very talented. They are truly a match made in heaven."
The villagers flattered Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian one after another, making them feel embarrassed. They were not as good as they said.
However, many villagers are envious.
Those men were jealous of Huo Jinqian, jealous that he could marry Gao Zhijun, a princess of noble status. If they could marry her, they would be able to live a life of luxury and a life of luxury.
Those women were jealous of Gao Zhijun, jealous that she could marry Huo Jinqian. He was not only handsome, but also the Duke of Wei, the emperor's nephew, and had a promising future. They would be more than willing to accept him as a concubine, let alone marry him.
Therefore, several women were thinking about how they could get into Huo Jinqian's bed and become his concubines.
Even if you are a concubine, you can live a life of luxury.
Huo Jinqian and Gao Zhijun didn't say anything. Huo Jin interrupted the villagers' discussion and took them to the yard that had been prepared in advance.
Gao Zhijun rented a total of four courtyards, each with five entrances and five exits, and rented them to villagers.
The rent was for a month, ten taels of silver per month, and for four courtyards, it cost forty taels of silver.
It’s not that Gao Zhijun didn’t want the villagers to live in the princess’s mansion, but that there was simply no room for them.
Besides, there are all kinds of people in Huojia Village, and she was afraid that some of them might have dishonest hands, and it would be bad if she lost something.
The servants of the Sun family lived in the Sun Mansion.
The servants of the Huo family lived in the Huo Mansion.
And her servants, of course, lived in the princess's mansion.
After the village head had settled the villagers, Gao Zhijun, Huo Jinqian and the others went back, and the headman came to pick them up in the evening to have dinner at the restaurant.
The villagers are very satisfied with their living place. They have never lived in such a beautiful courtyard in their lives.
If it weren't for Gao Zhijun's blessing, they would never have had the opportunity to live there.
Of course, there are a few who don't fit in and want to live in the princess's or the duke's mansion.
Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian would never agree to let them dream about the future.
In the evening, the villagers were taken to the Prince's Restaurant, which had been booked by Gao Zhijun at the moment, just to allow the villagers of Huojia Village to have dinner there.
When the villagers saw such a luxurious and large restaurant, they started talking about it.
Some envied Gao Zhijun and the Huo family for their good fortune. Not only were they given official titles and noble ranks, but they could also gain a foothold in the capital and live a life of luxury.
Some were jealous of Gao Zhijun and the Huo family, thinking that they were so lucky to have a relationship with the prince and even bring the Huo family to the capital to live a life of luxury.
Some people hate Gao Zhijun or Huo Jinqian, hate her for marrying Huo Jinqian, otherwise they would marry Huo Jinqian, become the wife of a duke, and live the life of an official's wife with a group of maids.
She hated Huo Jinqian for marrying Gao Zhijun. If she had married her, she would have been the prince consort, and not only would she have three wives and four concubines, but she would also have a large number of maids serving her, and the powerful people in the capital would have to flatter her.
Gao Zhijun and the Huo family didn't know that the villagers had such thoughts, otherwise they would be so angry.
Even if they don't get angry to death, they'll be annoyed to death, right?
This is a typical case of saying grapes are sour because you can't eat them.
Or, the classic farmer and the snake.
Gao Zhijun had been kind enough to bring them prosperity, and this was how they repaid her.
Of course, there are also people who are truly grateful to her, such as the village head and his family.
The villagers found a seat and sat down, and the waiter began to serve dishes to each table one after another.
While eating the delicious food, the villagers pretended to praise Gao Zhijun and the Huo family.
After finishing her meal and sending the villagers back, Gao Zhijun returned to the palace.
The wedding is coming soon and there are many things to do.
According to custom, before marriage, the bride and groom cannot live together or meet each other.
So, Gao Zhijun moved back to the palace, where she was going to get married.
Huo Jinqian immediately returned to the Duke's Mansion. The mansion had already begun to be decorated, and the Huo family had already moved in to help decorate the new house.
This is them marrying their grandson's wife and son's daughter-in-law.
Huo Zhicheng also took the villagers to visit the capital. If the items were not too expensive or too greedy, he would buy them for the villagers as a thank you gift.
