Chapter 142 (1/2)

A few days later, the Ministry of rites issued a document, saying that it had been calculated by the emperor and decided to carry the man into the palace on the ninth day of July.

Xiao Ruixuan took a look at the book, then threw it aside, and said in a rather contemptuous way: ”the rites are more and more ignorant. They are just carrying a concubine, but they are more formal than marrying a proper wife. They even invite qintianjian as a date.”

Jiang Wan also glanced at the documents of the Ministry of rites, but said with a smile: ”this is very good. At least they arranged the day after our wedding.”

Jiang Wan and Xiao Ruixuan were worshipped on the eighth day of June, just one month after the eighth day of July.

But July is ghost month, which is not suitable for weddings and funerals. Generally, people will deliberately avoid this month when they have happy events.

This time, though I was carrying my concubine, for the sake of luck, I should avoid July.

However, a word of advice came down, which made the Ministry of rites and qintianjian not agree

We have to take it easy.

Therefore, the officials of the Ministry of rites are all worried one by one.

Their previous weddings for princes and princes all have their own rules to follow. As long as we pull out the past examples and add or subtract a little, we can make things beautiful.

But this time, it's a concubine, or a concubine who got married less than a month ago.

You should know that even in the folk, in order to give a decent wife, the wealthy families who pay a little attention to it will not take concubines within a year of marriage.

But the emperor's edict forced them to fight in the face.

But in the past, when the princes or princes wanted to accept the imperial concubine, they only had to write a fold and report to the Ministry of rites. There was no ceremony at all.

But piansheng's dictation given by the emperor this time is to ”conduct”, which also needs rules to follow, right?

These days, the officials of the Ministry of rites are only looking at the classics, just thinking about whether there are any books with relevant records.

Some people are busy to death, others are idle to death.

The Minister of rites, Huang Tonghe, because his daughter Huang Yi was one of the side concubines to be carried into the Jin palace, Cui Shangshu took special care that he didn't have to intervene in the matter out of the principle of avoidance.

When he passed by the office of the Ministry of rites, he heard someone inside saying with a smile, ”if you want me to say, it's better to let King Shizi of Jin take a small sedan chair to carry people back. That's what people do when they marry concubines.”

”If we have a good relationship, we'll save trouble.” Someone laughed and echoed.

Huang Tong and his black face stood at the door of the Secretary's room, and everyone in the room stopped laughing. They all looked up the ancient books with their heads down.

But as soon as he turned around and left, the room became lively again

”This time, Lord Huang has made a big mistake...”

”Did Lord Huang offend anyone?”

…

Huang Tonghe didn't go far, but he was pressing the anger in his heart. He closed his eyes and sighed silently.

Before that, he tried his best to make his eldest daughter Huang Yi avoid the imperial concubine selection ceremony. When he was thinking of finding a good family for his daughter, he didn't want to ask the Ministry of rites to send his daughter Huang Yi to the palace of Jin to be a concubine for the sick ghost Prince! At that time, he was confused. Xiao Ruixuan, the short-lived ghost, let alone let his daughter be a concubine, even as a wife, he didn't like it!

He went to the Minister Cui and asked if there was any mistake? How well suddenly want to carry concubine to King Shizi of Jin?

As a result, Cui Shangshu looked at him helplessly, patted him on the shoulder and said, ”the holy meaning is unpredictable, so I don't want to speculate at will.”

The implication is to act according to the purpose.
