Chapter 1563 Getting Married (Thanks to the book friend "lingyan" for the reward)
She turned to the emperor and said, "If you think it's suitable, take it in if you have the ability. Otherwise, if the capable one is left outside, wouldn't it be like a pearl being lost?"
The emperor responded obediently with a “yes”.
The Queen Mother was satisfied. Although these two were Zhou Man's apprentices, they were also members of the Zheng family. Once they learned all her skills, hum...
So what if they are teachers and students? Aren’t there many cases in history where teachers and students have broken up because of different political views and interests?
Even the Empress Dowager, her "enemy", agreed to give Zhou Man two places in the Imperial Medical Bureau, so the matter was settled.
When Princess Yunfeng, who was about to get married, heard about this, the matter was already a done deal. She was quite upset and threw aside the wedding dress she had just tried on.
Princess Yizhou handed the wedding dress to the maid and sat down beside her. She said, "You're getting married in a few days. Why are you so angry now?"
"Why is the Empress Dowager becoming closer to Zhou Man?"
The Princess of Yizhou no longer had the same enthusiasm as last year. Time is really a strange thing. She used to hate Zhou Man and Bai Shan to the core, but now, even if they met from afar in the palace, she didn't feel much excitement.
Life must go on, and now she just hopes that her remaining two children can be safe and sound.
So she didn't want her daughter to pay too much attention to Zhou Man. She was about to get married, and she and her son would go to Dizhou in the future. Zhou Man and Bai Shan might stay in the capital, and even stay near the emperor and the prince.
Even if their family is related to the emperor by blood, when it comes to closeness, they are probably not as close as Zhou Man and Bai Shan, two strangers, so why bother?
Why bother to deliberately provoke them?
The longer time went on, the more Princess Yizhou thought about it. She and her two children hated Zhou Man and Bai Shan for killing their husband and son. They might also hate them for killing their father and mother.
So she advised her daughter, "Just focus on preparing for your marriage and don't worry about other things."
Even if Princess Yunfeng wanted to intervene, she couldn't, because the emperor and empress's family all lived in the Daming Palace. Although her family depended on the empress dowager, they did not go to the Daming Palace with them this time.
It is cooler over there in Daming Palace, but there are fewer palaces. The emperor took the empress dowager there to show his filial piety, so what was he bringing them for?
The Queen Mother obviously knew this, so she did not bring the Princess of Yizhou and her son with her. Besides, Yunfeng had to prepare for her wedding, so it would be more convenient for her to stay at the Taiji Palace.
Although Princess Yunfeng's wedding was not grand, the Queen Mother still came back from Daming Palace in person to see her off.
Princess Yunfeng was married off from the palace on a sunny morning. The emperor, as her uncle, also made an appearance and then asked the fifth prince to go with Prince Xinqing to send off the bride.
This matter had nothing to do with Manbao and the others. Not to mention Manbao, no one in the East Palace except the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess was invited to drink the wedding wine. The main reason was that the Emperor had just recovered from his illness and Princess Yunfeng was the daughter of the King of Yizhou, so neither the court nor the palace wanted to hold a big celebration.
Manbao had only heard it once and thought that the one who had a grudge against her was the King of Yizhou, not Princess Yunfeng. Although she didn't like him, she didn't take him seriously.
She wanted to take a day off and go home because Yin Huo had invited them to attend his sister's wedding, which happened to be on her day off.
It was Manbao's first time to see people from the capital get married, and he was particularly interested.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were also interested, and asked Yin Huo about the dishes they usually had when they had a drink.
Yin Or: ...How could he know?
There were many things he couldn't eat anyway, so why would he care about such things?
But this time he could only care about it, so when he got home he asked his grandmother, "Sijie is getting married, has the family prepared the menu?"
Old Madam Yin was surprised that he would ask this and said with a smile, "The menu was finalized a month ago. Why, do you want to see it?"
Yin Huo said with a straight face, "Let me take a look."
Not only Old Madam Yin, but also Yin Si Niang were very happy and felt that they were valued. After all, Yin Huo rarely cared about such matters in the rear quarters.
Yin Huo took the menu and looked at it. He silently wrote down a few dishes that Bai Shan and Zhou Man might like, and then asked Changshou to tell them to come without worry.
Lord Yin married off another daughter. Although she was still a concubine's daughter, the officials, noble families and powerful people in the capital all gave her face. Regardless of whether they had a day off or had to work overtime, they all took time out to come in person.
So Bai Shan and his companions' carriage was blocked as soon as it turned from the street where their home was. There were soldiers from Jingzhao Prefecture directing the carriage on the road.
Bai Shan and Zhou Man lifted the curtain and took a look. They estimated that it would take quite a while before they could get in, so they felt a little regretful. "If we had known earlier, we should have walked here. It's not that far anyway."
Bai Erlang said, "It would be so embarrassing to walk down the street holding a gift. I don't want to lose face like that."
Bai Shan said, "You are so stupid. We can just walk and let Daji drive the carriage with the gifts."
Manbao said: "Then we can get off the car now."
Bai Shan thought about it and felt that this was a good idea, mainly because the sun was very strong at the moment. If they stayed in the carriage, the sun would make it warm, and it would be like sitting in a furnace.
So the three of them jumped off the carriage, blocked the sun with their hands and walked forward.
People walking can go much faster than horse carriages.
Daji just watched them walk all the way to the gate of Yin Mansion, and they disappeared in a short while.
The three of them walked to the main gate of Yin's mansion by themselves. The three sons-in-law who were following their father-in-law to entertain guests saw someone walking towards them and looked at them with curiosity.
When Yin Li saw that it was them, he smiled and said, "Huo'er is in the yard. I'll have someone take you there."
He ordered a servant to take the man to the backyard.
Yin Huo's health was not very good. Not only Madam Yin, but even Yin Li did not dare to let him stand for a long time, so they received a few close guests at the gate in the morning. When the sun got high and the weather got hot, Yin Li let him go back to the yard to rest.
The three sons-in-law of the Yin family have had grievances with Zhou Man, Bai Shan and Bai Cheng for a long time, but this seems to be the first time they have met formally.
Especially the eldest son-in-law of the Yin family, who had directly taken action against them.
His original intention was to vent his anger on his brother-in-law, but he ended up becoming good friends with him, and even his wife started to treat him with courtesy. Now the eldest son-in-law felt quite embarrassed.
Fortunately, his father-in-law didn't notice him, and Manbao and the other two paid even less attention to him. He greeted everyone, regardless of whether he knew them or not, and then followed the servant into the courtyard.
Yin Huo was sitting in his room in a daze. Seeing them coming, he smiled and said, "You're here?"
Bai Shan nodded and asked, "What are you doing?"
Yin Huo shook his head and said, "There's nothing to do, so I just sit there in a daze."
He paused and said, "Last night, my father asked Dr. Tan to come and see me. He talked to me and he knew I didn't want to get married. He has decided to keep my sixth sister at home and find a son-in-law."
See you tomorrow
