Chapter 309 Getting Married
The problem of the Quanrong was just about to be solved, and after Jin Zekang had conferred titles on them, he dropped a big bomb on the court officials.
He has been single for a long time, but now he finally plans to get married, and his wife is the second prince's cousin.
This revelation really caught the court officials by surprise.
Before the battle, they were still worried that the Bashu general might rebel at any time.
Unexpectedly, the Regent actually contacted the other party secretly.
There are doubts in my heart about the home that I am more familiar with.
Didn't Yu Sheng only have two sons and one daughter whom he loved like treasures?
Especially the youngest girl has always been treated as the apple of her eye.
When Concubine Xian was at the peak of her career, she proposed to bring the girl into the palace to raise her as a prince in the future, but General Yu refused.
How could he marry his daughter to the capital when his ancestral home had been raided?
Let’s not talk about the distant future first. The Regent is not only more than ten years older than the girl, but also has a grudge against his family.
Is the rumor about his beloved daughter false or is that person planning something bad?
But no matter what, the Regent King's marriage is a big event. All the court officials congratulated him while thinking about how much they could give away in their storehouses.
Jin Zekang got married at this time in order to get Xie Zhuo and Xiao Yuan back as soon as possible.
But the necessary preparations were not neglected. At least the Regent's Palace was renovated and a luxurious courtyard facing the street was cordoned off separately.
At first glance, it seems that the princess attaches great importance to her future, but if you look closely, you will find that.
After the renovation, the mansion was divided into almost three parts.
One is the area at the front of the palace for worship and reception, and the other is the prince's living area such as study, bedroom, and storeroom.
These two areas are connected, and as long as you lock the door leading to the backyard, the rest of the area can be seen as another house.
It has everything you need including bedrooms, living room, garden and kitchen, it's just like another mansion.
Jiang Xinyu and his friends came back half a month before the wedding, and Bao Beibei and Xie Zhuo and their friends had also been back for more than a month by then.
Jiang Xinyu was surprised to find that Liu Xu had also come back, and that the two of them had already visited her aunt and were said to be discussing the wedding date.
Bao Beibei is now Princess An Ning, and Liu Xu has also been granted the title of a third-rank general.
Beibei lives in Jinze Kangfu and Liuxu lives in her aunt's house, but I heard that the princess's mansion has been almost renovated and will be available for occupancy soon.
The two of them did not plan to hold a grand wedding in the capital.
Neither Liu Xu nor Bao Beibei came from aristocratic families, and they were not familiar with these court officials.
But one of them is a princess and the other is a general. If the wedding is held in the capital, they must be present according to the rules.
It will be not only tiring but also troublesome.
They will be living in Quanrong for a long time in the future and may not come to the capital once every one or two years.
They couldn't catch up with the weddings and funerals of these court officials and couldn't send gifts, so there was no need to trouble them to spend money at this time.
As for getting married, we just need to get married in the presence of our stepmother and friends.
It would be polite for us to have a meal together as a witness.
Liu Xu felt most comfortable with this arrangement. She held Bao Beibei's hand with tenderness in her eyes.
He knew that Beibei did all this for him, after all, he had been a prostitute in the capital for so many years.
Even though he is now a general and looks darker and stronger, not everyone can recognize him.
But if we hold a grand wedding, wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone recognized us?
The wind leaves traces and people leave images. Many things cannot stand up to scrutiny.
Not to mention having actual evidence, even if someone were to speculate and spread rumors, the consequences would be disastrous.
Not only was he criticized by others, but even his stepmother was implicated by him.
Mrs. Wang was unwilling at first.
The child has suffered so much, now that he has become an official and married a princess, he should manage his life gloriously.
Even when a rich man marries a daughter-in-law, he has to set up a buffet with dozens of tables or something. How could a general marry a princess and just have a meal with his family?
This is too shabby.
It is not easy for a girl to get married once in her life. She felt sad when Yuer's wedding went badly.
Now Beibei is such a good girl with a noble status, but she doesn't even have a decent wedding, which makes her feel guilty.
The older generation’s ideas could not be said to be wrong, and the two of them could only say nice things to please Mrs. Wang.
Bao Beibei even said that wedding guests look at quality rather than quantity.
The local rich man got married and ended up hiring a county official.
Although they are just a family meal, the standard is high!
Not only was there a regent, Wang Lianghou, but there was also the governor of Dongchang and the minister of justice.
Can this specification be compared with the buffet?
If you still think it's not grand enough, we can invite the Emperor and the Queen Mother as well. That would be the ceiling for the wedding banquet.
Mrs. Wang thought so too.
Since Beibei doesn't feel wronged, then let's just leave it as it is. After all, we live our lives together as two people.
No matter how luxurious the wedding banquet is, it may not necessarily bring happiness. Two children who are in love with each other are better than anything else.
Bao Beibei is a girl and acts like a girl. She is also beautiful, and Mrs. Wang does not know her true identity.
She was really happy for her godsons, but it was a pity that the two children would have to settle in Quanrong for a long time and they probably wouldn't have many opportunities to see each other.
Liu Xu also couldn't bear to leave Mrs. Wang.
This cousin was like his adoptive parent.
The fact that he was able to get the full support from his cousin Yu and Governor Xiao and to get to his current position and escape from his previous miserable life was all thanks to Madam Wang.
It’s a pity that many of Lady Wang’s biological sons are unlikely to follow their adopted son to the faraway Quanrong to live out their lives. He may never be able to repay this kindness in his lifetime.
Yu Hui came to the capital with her second brother half a year ago to renovate their old house and prepare their dowry.
Now that the wedding date is approaching, Yu Sheng has made a desperate move and handed over all the military affairs of Bashu to his eldest son.
He did not even bring his lieutenant general with him, only a few guards, and went to the capital alone to attend his daughter's wedding.
The Quanrong destroyed the country and greatly increased the power of the imperial court.
Yu Sheng knew that if someone really wanted to deal with him, it would make no difference whether he went to Kyoto or not.
Now that he has come to the capital to pay homage to the emperor, he is also expressing his submission, just as a gamble.
If the Regent Prince saw him coming and planned to take revenge, he would rather die in the capital with his son and daughter.
At least the eldest son could take the rest of the family and hide in a village deep in the mountains to leave a bloodline for the Yu family.
After arriving in Beijing, Yu Sheng asked his second son about the current developments in the capital and the Regent's attitude towards his sister.
This silly boy praised Jin Zekang again and again.
She said that although he was a few years older, he was handsome, elegant and gentle, and it didn't disgrace his sister.
Moreover, his backyard was clean and tidy, without even a concubine. Before the marriage, he even specially renovated the palace to give my sister enough face.
In his opinion, the Regent was very sincere about the marriage.
What my father is worried about will not happen.
Yu Sheng finally felt relieved and brought valuable gifts to visit Xiao Yuan and Jiang Xinyu to thank the two matchmakers.
Afterwards, he went to meet the Regent King and had dinner at the palace.
From then on, he began to interact with court officials in the capital, which meant that the second branch of the Yu family had officially returned to the powerful circle in the capital.
