Chapter 267 Getting Married
"That's so sorry for my mother."
Looking at Chang Feng scratching his head in a silly manner, Xiao Lin's smile spread across her face.
Chang Feng looks romantic, good at dancing, and eloquent, but when it comes to his relatives, he maintains the purest and most sincere heart.
This kind of care made Kobayashi feel safe and comfortable.
This made Kobayashi, who had just married and was facing the turmoil of family separation, feel completely at ease. At the same time, she finally found the words to write a reply to her mother who had sent her a letter out of worry.
She did not reveal the "secret" between her mother-in-law Dalin and Fourth Miss Sheng, but simply erased two zeros to tell her mother about the current financial situation after the division of the family.
Sure enough, even if two zeros were removed, it was enough to comfort the mother and make her feel relieved. She even praised her son-in-law for being capable and low-key, and said that Dalin was a good mother-in-law who could think clearly. She also attached a note and chose an auspicious day to come and deliver gifts.
One was a gift for the two families to establish friendship, given to Old Madam Sheng, Madam Wang and Madam Lin Er respectively, and one was a dowry for Fourth Miss Sheng.
Although the Marquis of Zhongshan's Mansion is a marquisate, the family is very wealthy. One of the dowries was filled with jade, including turquoise, amber, jadeite... and other colorful things that made people unable to take their eyes off.
In addition, a jade peach-shaped water cup is even more irresistible and can be regarded as a treasure that can be kept in the bottom of the box.
Lanling wine tulips, jade bowls filled with amber light.
That should be it.
……
When people's hearts are at peace, their homes are at peace, and everything will prosper.
Yao Yiyi, who had just entered the Hanlin Academy and saw Molan receiving three boxes of handwritten books, suddenly had an inspiration.
'Bi Sheng' is dead, burn paper if you have any questions.
His autobiography and manuscripts were preserved by his descendants as unimportant relics.
Yao Yiyi had no choice but to buy it with a large sum of money and signed the contract.
It can be considered as a confidentiality agreement and transaction agreement that she improved so that it can be used in ancient times.
Because Bi Sheng's descendants really doubted the authenticity and applicability of what their father said in the manual. Although they were willing to believe that their father's lifelong research was useful, they were still unwilling to go to Tokyo City to "fight" with Chang Tong, the young top scholar.
Yao Yiyi knew what this kind of person was thinking.
So, she had to be on guard.
She has given you the opportunity, but you didn't seize it and were afraid. Now when you want to pick the fruits in the future, it will be impossible.
Witnessed by the county magistrate and the elders of the Bi clan, the contents of the contract were read out and both parties signed and sealed it.
In this way, the most original version of the ancient movable type printing notes came into Yao Yiyi's hands.
As a person of the future, her greatest advantage is her judgment of history and development.
If she were reborn twenty years ago, she would definitely know the impact of the development of the Internet, 3G, 4G networks and other industries on finance and various industries. She could "create" many emerging industries that are bound to succeed at no cost.
The same is true for rebirth two thousand years ago.
Movable type printing is bound to be a great invention that benefits society, and the development of gunpowder and firearms is destined to make the truth exist under the caliber.
She doesn't need trial and error, just practice.
The only thing missing is funds, and Molan is the solid backing.
In this way, after only two months in office at the Hanlin Academy, Yao Yiyi had invented movable type printing technology that had been improved with wood and could be mass-produced.
When this invention came out, not only the people in the Hanlin Academy were stunned, but the people in the Ministry of Works also exclaimed that they had found a treasure.
The name of the youngest new top scholar Sheng Changtong once again resounded throughout Bian Jing.
On this day, Yao Yiyi got the promotion she wished for.
He was promoted to the fifth-rank official of the Academy of Academicians and Director of the Ministry of Works, in charge of movable type printing and printing of the three elementary books for children.
Changfeng, who was more scheming, became a Hanlin attendant, while Changbai, who was polite and somewhat law-abiding, stood out among the attendants.
The promotion paths of the three brothers showed differences when they just took office.
……
Time passed quickly, early spring arrived, and flowers were in full bloom. Molan got married on a spring day when flowers were in full bloom.
As a county lady personally appointed by the royal family, her wedding was naturally a grand affair with gorgeous decorations and loud drums and gongs.
Not only did the Empress in the palace personally add some make-up, but as a county lady's wedding, the Ministry of Rites also had to regulate the addition of some make-up.
In addition, the Gong'an family of Fuguo who were on good terms with the Sheng family, the Zhang family of Duke of England, the Cui family, the Princess Qingning's family, the Pei family, the Princess Qingchang's family, the Han family, the old Shangshu Ge, the Cai family who was promoted to the acting Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the Chang family who were on good terms with the Yuan family (the House of the Earl of Zhongqin), the Wang family of Wang Ruofu... and so on all sent decent dowries to Molan.
Even because of the Cai family's "using public resources for private benefit", the dowry for the county lady prepared by the Ministry of Rites was textbook-like and meticulous, with everything that was required by etiquette and regulations and could be traced.
The dowry was increased from the originally modest 108 loads to 148 loads under the care of the "aunts", which is not an exaggeration.
But nowadays it is popular to marry off daughters with wealth and luxury, especially if they are married off as inferiors, so daughters should not be treated unfairly.
All the elements are complete, and Fourth Miss Sheng, who is about to leave Tokyo and marry in Yuzhou, naturally has all the elements complete.
Even the Imperial Censorate, who was staring at the Sheng Mansion and wanted to say something to prove his "innocence", only smacked his lips and said, "It's too generous, shouldn't the source be explained?" Such a meaningless remark was dropped.
It was the first time that Molan wore the green wedding dress. She turned around three times in front of the mirror, unable to take her eyes off her own beauty.
She likes dark green, firstly because it is the color of green leaves, and secondly because it is the color of the source of her spiritual power.
Unlike the Ming Dynasty, the Song Dynasty could not wear a phoenix coronet or a bridal robe without reward. However, the heavy embroidery and various auspicious patterns on the clothes, and the kingfisher feathers, gems and gold on the head, made the wearer look extremely noble.
(When I was looking for evidence, I also saw a statement that "the Song Dynasty was influenced by Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism...", so people preferred simple clothing, etc.
Ok……
The students of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty were not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations and were excluded every day. It was the Yuan Dynasty that promoted Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and gave it a high status.
When Zhu Xi was alive, he was severely persecuted by his party, and various censors and rumors took turns to spread him. In the end, he was forced to resign and return home. Although he was an official in the Song Dynasty, he was also a person with mixed reviews, so it is impossible for him to be greatly influenced by Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty.
Moreover, the phoenix coronet and phoenix bridal robe were allowed to be worn by everyone when getting married. This was a new policy of the Ming Dynasty and had not yet been implemented in the Northern Song Dynasty.)
Lin Qinshuang originally wanted to shed a few tears and follow the custom of crying at a wedding.
But she never expected that once the tears started flowing, she couldn't stop crying.
"Molan... Damn Molan..."
"You will be happy and fine, mother..."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Qinshuang couldn't really say something as ambiguous as "Mom, wait for me to come back", so she had to change her words and say,
"Now that you're settled, remember to find time to come back and see mom more often. Aren't there more caravans from Tokyo and Yuzhou recently? Come home more often... Mom... I only have you as my precious daughter, wuwuwuwu..."
