At that moment, Zhou Wan'er was experiencing a crazy scene unsuitable for children...
"Let's leave this matter alone. Let the Ministry of Rites inform my husband..."
In the end, Zhou Wan'er simply pushed away the hidden role of the person in charge of the wedding and refused to discuss it further.
"What is it? Wan'er, why are you acting so strangely today?"
Sun Jian rolled his eyes at Zhou Wan'er helplessly.
"I……"
Zhou Wan'er became even more shy.
Although she was the most carefree and willful of the three women.
But this doesn't mean Zhou Wan'er isn't shy; on the contrary, she's the most conservative of the three women at heart.
After all, he grew up under the strict etiquette system of the Great Zhou royal family.
It can be said that Zhou Wan'er possessed all the ideas of ancient feudal women.
She was even better than Chu Qingcheng, a lady from a prominent family.
In broad daylight, she really couldn't bring herself to tell Sun Jian such a thing so bluntly in front of Chu Qingcheng...
Chu Qingcheng was already extremely intelligent, and upon seeing this, she had a vague idea of what was going on.
He quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Oh dear, my dear husband, look how shy Wan'er is."
"I guess it's not something particularly important that Wan'er is like this."
"Perhaps it's a matter between you men. Since Sister Wan'er doesn't want to say, then just listen to her. We can have someone from the Ministry of Rites tell you later."
"All right."
Sun Jian helplessly shrugged and agreed with Chu Qingcheng's words.
Actually, he wasn't stupid. He could tell from Zhou Wan'er's reaction that the person in charge of the royal wedding had other hidden duties besides hosting the wedding ceremony.
However, Zhou Wan'er didn't say it outright, which made Sun Jian not want to dwell on the matter any longer.
Since it's a covert task, the Minister of Rites will probably notify me or remind me when the time comes.
It shouldn't be too difficult.
Things can be strange sometimes; speak of the devil and he appears.
Just as Sun Jian was thinking that he could ask the Minister of Rites to inform him about the secret work of the wedding organizers, he didn't expect that the Minister of Rites, Lin Jingsi, and the Minister of Revenue, Mi Zhu, had already come to visit him outside the Marquis's residence.
When Chu Qingcheng and Zhou Wan'er heard that two high-ranking officials from the imperial court had come to see their husband, they tactfully greeted them and then withdrew.
Sun Jian couldn't help but smile as he spoke to the maid who had come to report.
"Please, Lord Lin and Lord Mi!"
"yes!"
The maid acknowledged and left Sun Jian's study. A short while later, Lin Jingsi, the Minister of Rites, and Mi Zhu, the Minister of Revenue, strode into Sun Jian's study in the inner courtyard.
Sun Jian, who was standing next to the two, quickly bowed and greeted them.
Although they were both high-ranking officials in the imperial court, they held absolute power and influence throughout the entire Daqian region.
However, they still had to maintain utmost respect in front of Sun Jian.
After all, Sun Jian is now a Marquis of Ting, a status only slightly inferior to that of a prince born of the principal wife, but far more noble than theirs.
However, Sun Jian was not arrogant; on the contrary, he was very humble. When he saw the two ministers bowing to him, he quickly returned the bow and exchanged pleasantries with them.
It goes without saying that Minister of Revenue Mi Zhu was one of their own, but whether Minister of Rites Lin Jingsi was one of their own remains to be investigated.
Although this person's surname is Lin, he has no relation to the Lin family.
This is similar to the fact that not everyone with the surname Li in the world has any connection with the royal family.
Although he is not a member of the Lin family, judging from his past behavior in the court, he had close ties with the powerful minister Lin Xuanfu.
Most importantly, he still vividly remembered the incident involving Fang Wenyue, the Director of the Ministry of Rites, when Sun Jian was praying for rain outside the East Gate of the capital.
Fang Wenyue, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was either acting under the instigation of Lin Jingsi or Lin Xuanfu.
In any case, it's all related to those two.
Sun Jian was naturally very cautious when talking to someone who was likely an enemy.
Sun Jian and Lin Xuanfu are now at odds, so if Lin Jingsi is one of Lin Xuanfu's men, then it's best to be careful.
Sun Jian was well aware that the two men had come today to discuss the wedding of Crown Prince Li Gancheng.
Given the speed at which information spreads, it's likely that all the civil and military officials in the court already know that Crown Prince Li Gancheng's wedding is in three days.
Sun Jian was in charge of this grand wedding, and Lin Jingsi, as the Minister of Rites, naturally had to explain to Sun Jian the necessary matters and procedures.
Sun Jian ordered his servants to pour tea and listened attentively as Lin Jingsi explained some important points about the wedding.
What he said was actually pretty much the same as what Zhou Wan'er was thinking.
This further confirms that the person in charge only said a few words and went through the motions, while the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department would take care of everything else.
After saying all this, Lin Jingsi, with a friendly smile, took out a book wrapped in oiled paper from his pocket.
"My lord, everything else has been explained. Your final duty is this..."
Sun Jian took the book and opened it with a serious expression. But what he saw left him speechless.
He originally thought it was some kind of secret mission, or some secret procedure from ancient feudal times during a wedding.
When I saw it, I was dumbfounded.
What Lin Jingsi handed him was a pornographic book about sex!
Most importantly, they're all illustrated...
Wow!
Sun Jian stared wide-eyed at that moment.
This is even more exciting than watching adult films from the small, cherry-skinned island nation of later generations.
Although the book is crudely made, it reveals the exquisite chemical engineering techniques used; it is simply ingenious and lifelike.
It's almost as good as a high-resolution rearview photo...
Most importantly, the female characters in each illustration are different, and their expressions are all very alluring, with even the body hair drawn very clearly.
That's not even the most outrageous part. The most outrageous thing is that every page of this book records a posture, and even provides a detailed introduction and explanation.
Sun Jian flipped through it; it was roughly 36 pages long.
That's enough to show there are 36 positions in total...
Moreover, each pose is unique.
This is... I never thought they had mini-video players in ancient times.
Sun Jian was so engrossed in reading it that if it weren't for the presence of Minister of Revenue Mi Zhu and Minister of Rites Lin Jingsi, he would have liked to take the book to his bedroom and discuss it with Chu Qingcheng and Zhou Wan'er behind closed doors...
He may have thought about it, but Sun Jian's status is different now, so he naturally wouldn't lack even this much self-control.
"Cough cough..."
Sun Jian coughed twice and asked Lin Jingsi, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"Lord Lin, what is the meaning of this?"
