Chapter 669 Poor enough to eat soil (Happy National Day, ask for a monthly ticket)

"Mom, I'm married back to the princess!" Chen Xu led Ying Shiman to Chen Jiang and said with a smile.

"My daughter-in-law Shiman greets her mother-in-law!" Ying Shiman walked to Chen Jiang with a pink neck and blushing salute.

"Chen Jiang greets the fifth princess!" Although Chen Jiang couldn't stop smiling, he hurriedly bowed to Ying Shiman.

"Shiman greets Sister Shui!" Ying Shiman saluted Shui Qingrou again, Shui Qingrou replied gently, then reached out to hold Ying Shiman's hand and smiled, "Sister, follow me to the wedding room first to wash, husband will marry Wan Niang back and hold the wedding together!"

"Yes, sister!" Ying Shiman lowered her head and followed Shui Qingrou near the yard. Wanwan, several female teachers from the Women's College, Fan Caiying and a group of women also followed with laughter, surrounding Ying Shiman in the middle and constantly making fun of her.

Because Ying Shiman and Shui Qingrou are both teachers from the Women's College, they are very familiar with Wanwan and others. Today, they specially helped prepare for the wedding. Shui Qingrou, the identity of Fan Caiying, has long been recognized, so she sent a letter invitation to decorate the wedding room together.

After marrying a wife, Qinghe Hou had no time to rest. After asking the housekeeper to arrange a group of royal families such as Prince Fusu and Prince Gao to see off the bride, he arranged for people to carry all the geese and gifts to the car, and then hurriedly took the bride-welves to marry another wife.

But that wife is still too young and needs to be maintained for several years.

Although it is winter, the weather is pretty good and the sky is a little gloomy, but it doesn't look like it's going to snow.

The convoy who welcomed the bride beat the gongs and cheered the lions as usual, and threw a bunch of candies, chestnuts and coins along the way. Amid the warm cheers of the people along the way, the convoy soon arrived at Mongolian Mansion.

Meng Yi's mentality of marrying his daughter is similar to that of the emperor. Everything in the mansion has been prepared. The guests all came to congratulate him on marrying his daughter. Because he was the emperor's matchmaker, the three books and six rituals have been completed. Just wait for Chen Xu to marry his daughter today and it will be done.

Chen Xu arrived at Mon Mansion and greeted Meng Yi, Meng Yi's wife, brother-in-law Meng Yun and the direct relatives of the Meng family. He also greeted the guests who came to celebrate, and sent the geese and greetings to the wedding. After the officials of the Ministry of Rites wrote the name of the bride and groom, signed the name with Zhao Wei, the young mansion who represented the emperor as a matchmaker. The last step of the Three Books and Six Lectures was completely completed. After returning, the wedding was held, and the marriage was completed.

Several maids surrounded Meng Wan and came out. Chen Xu only took a look, and then felt that his eyes could not be removed.

She was wearing a modified and refined dress with suede boots under her feet. Although it was winter, it was not bloated. She should have a sweater inside, and a snow-white mink scarf was surrounded by her neck. Her hair was neatly combed behind her head. She was covered with a faint beauty on her snow-white, smooth and flawless little face, with a faint red lips, and bright big eyes, just like an elf girl who had traveled through time and space, standing charmingly in front of Chen Xu.

This outfit and luoli look are easy to make people think about.

Seeing Chen Xu's look a little dazed, and his eyes seemed to fall on his chest as if he was touched. Meng Wan's face instantly blushed, and she lowered her head and bowed: "Wan Niang greets the Marquis!"

"Oh, okay, Wan Niang is so beautiful today!" Chen Xu came to his senses and nodded.

"Mr. Marquis, three books and six rituals are all ready. My younger sister will be the Marquis' wife today. My father ordered Meng Yun to send her younger sister to marry. Marquis invite her!" Meng Yun smiled and bowed.

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, I will be bowed by my son-in-law!" Chen Xu bowed deeply to Meng Yi and mother-in-law to the end.

"The son-in-law is not a gift!" Meng Yi smiled very satisfied and helped Chen Xu up.

"Wan'er, today's wedding is a happy wedding. After returning, I will take good care of the Marquis. I respect my mother-in-law and two sisters. Remember not to be willful and willful!" Meng Yi's wife's eyes were red and held Meng Wan's hand and was unwilling to let go.

"The auspicious time of the wedding is coming soon. Madam, don't be like a young daughter. Now let's take Wan'er back to get married!" Meng Yi and the emperor usually don't care about the farewell between their wife and daughter at all.

Meng Yun also persuaded him: "Mom, my little sister is not married to another place, why bother to be sad? If you miss my little sister, go to the Marquis's Mansion to visit him!"

Under the persuasion of her husband and son, Meng Yi's wife finally put away her tears and took Meng Wan's hand to send her daughter to Chen Xu's wedding car. Chen Xu bowed again and said goodbye. The wedding team left with a blowjob. Meng Yun also took a group of servants in the car and followed him to see him off.

"Husband, Wan'er is only thirteen years old. How can she bear the suffering of human relations when she got married so early?" Meng Yi's wife watched her daughter leave, and couldn't help but start to cry again with grief.

"Women's opinion, Qinghe Hou is not an ordinary person, how can I not understand the etiquette of human ethics? Don't worry, Wan'er will not suffer after following him? Yun'er is right. You can go to Qinghe Hou's Mansion more and play mahjong with Chen Jiang's family. My Meng family's future glory and wealth may all be in him..."

A grand wedding was held at the Qinghe Marquis Mansion.

The Queen of Qinghe married two wives at one time, and both of them had a respectable status.

The entire Qinghe Marquis Mansion was lively and jubilant. Hundreds of guests gathered together to witness this unprecedented luxurious wedding. There were more than ten cars of silk and jewelry for the palace dowry. However, Chen Xu just glanced at it when he was passing by, and then his face sucked for a long time. These things were given to him by the Fan family and the Central Plains counties last time, and then he selected valuable goods to be sent to the palace. Unexpectedly, most of them were dowry again today.

The dowry sent by Meng Yi is much shabby, a truck of silk, a truck of porcelain, a truck of gold, silver, pearls and jade, and clothes and bedding. Although there are a lot of them, they don’t look high-end. However, Chen Xu knew about Meng Yi’s family situation. This gift was actually not thin. There were four or five hundred people in Meng Yi’s mansion. Chen Xu, who was poor before he had not operated porcelain, was embarrassed to come to pick up the meal. Since the new porcelain was launched, the financial situation in the mansion has improved a lot. I heard that he married several concubines and also bought a villa outside the city to build tap water and use swimming pools in Chen Xu’s villa. Meng Yun has already spoken with him. The purpose is naturally to hope that this rich and leisurely magical brother-in-law will help arrange it.

At noon, shortly after the wedding began, the Shaofu Order Zhao Wei came hurriedly with brocade and silk, and the two palace servants who came with him were holding two volumes of silk books in their hands.

"The emperor ordered that today the Marquis of Jingyang and Princess Huayu were very happy to get married. They specially gave them hundreds of horses, five hundred cattle and sheep, three hundred slaves, one hundred maids, and two hundred rewards..."

All the guests who came to congratulate could not help but exclaim and commotion.

It's over and I'll be so poor that I'll eat dirt in the future.

Chen Xu was stunned. Nima was still unreasonable. Just give it a reward of money. Every time I have to reward so many cattle, sheep, horses, and slaves and maids. How can I keep it alive?

Zhao Wei finished reading a silk book, and then picked up a silk book from another palace servant to unfold it.

"The emperor ordered the title of Jingyang Marquis to be granted three thousand households, with a hundred hectares of land and a hundred hectares of forests..."

"Wow~~" The guests in the yard were all stimulated and their heads were a little ischemia, and the scene became even more turbulent.

Even the prince Fusu and the prince Gao and all the royal families who came to see him off for the wedding felt incredible. His Majesty was almost out of his mind for the Qinghe Marquis. It was just a matter of marrying a daughter. Is it necessary to reward this way? None of the royal families do not have so much land and fiefs.

But looking at the remaining palace servant who had not opened a silk book, everyone began to feel numb again. It was obvious that the two rewards were not over yet. Sure enough, Zhao Wei opened the third silk book after reading it.

"The emperor's edict: Chen Xu, the Marquis of Jingyang, was young and smart. He made steel, cement, and mills all benefited the country. He was indeed my good teacher and friend. Now I have allowed to marry the daughter of Meng and the daughter of the Monk, and be the legitimate wife of Princess Huayu and Chen Shui. There is no order or degree of rank, no distinction between rank and rank, and treat each other with the same ceremonies. This edict is a special case in the world. All kings, princes, ministers and people should not imitate it. Those who violate it shall be punished according to the law!"

The content of the third edict was strange and seemed to be incompatible with the wedding, but when you think about it carefully, it was reasonable, so the guests' response became even more intense after listening.

China has been passed down for a long time. From the clan and tribes, men began to have many regulations when marrying wives. During the Shang Dynasty, marriage was stricter. The same clan cannot be married, the same surname cannot be married, and the same clan cannot be married. Generally, there is only one official wife, who is the right wife, also known as the legitimate wife. In the Zhou Dynasty, there was more rituals and laws, but it was still stipulated that a man had only one wife, and the emperor could establish six palaces, but there was only one queen, and the others were concubines, and there was no title of a wife. The same was true for the princes. Although later, there were titles such as side wives, young wives, partial wives, and lower wives, these so-called wife status was still equivalent to a concubine, and their identity did not change much.

Qin law stipulated that ordinary people could only marry one wife and not take concubines. Aristocrats could marry one wife and two concubines. The nobles could only marry one wife, and the others could only be the status of concubines. In addition to the children born in the legitimate wife who could inherit the family property and title, the common people were civilians. When they grew up, they could only make a living and were not allowed to share the family property.

This is what the princes said.

This provision actually existed in the Zhou Dynasty. Otherwise, there would be no provision in the Zhou ritual that the princes and emperors would not establish a eldest son, and the legitimate sons would not establish a virtuous person. Only when a legitimate wife was born, the legitimate wife could have status. However, no matter how virtuous and kind, she could not inherit the title. This not only ensures that the status of the wife in the family is conducive to family harmony, but also ensures that the inheritance rights will not be confused and lead to the situation of killing each other. In fact, it is also a kind of protection for the family, so as not to worry that the person who inherits the title would not be guaranteed all day long and would kill brothers and relatives.

The Qin Dynasty basically continued the provisions of the Zhou Dynasty on this point, and this provisions unanimously continued to affect future generations for thousands of years.

Now the Marquis of Qinghe has already married Shui, but the emperor wants to marry the princess to Chen Xu, and he also serves as a matchmaker to marry Meng Yi's legitimate daughter to Chen Xu. Therefore, almost everyone is still speculating on how the status of Chen Xu, the three wives, should be allocated.

In terms of identity, the fifth princess has the most respected identity and must not be a concubine, but Meng Yi's identity as a legitimate daughter is also extraordinary. If the emperor forced to marry the Marquis of Qinghe as a concubine, it would inevitably arouse Meng Yi's dissatisfaction and therefore could not be a concubine. What's more, Shui is already Chen Xu's wife, and he never rested in Shui, and the emperor could not change her identity and status.

But all kinds of speculations were resolved invisibly because of this unique edict.

It turned out that the emperor had already thought about it that all three wives were the right wives, and they treated each other equally without distinguishing between priority and inferiority. It was truly a ceremony for three wives with equal status.

But the emperor also made it clear to the world that Chen Xu, who was the only two marquises in the world, could enjoy this treatment, and no one else, including the royal family.

"The ceremony of the three wives, alas!" Countless people shook their heads and sighed.

Meng Yun also looked at his brother-in-law Chen Xu with envy and hatred.

He didn't like the fourth princess, but this wife could not divorce her. If he could not have another son with the fourth princess, he would have been removed from the Qin nobles, and then his father would probably kill him.
