Chapter 510 2nd Marriage
Chapter 510 2nd Marriage
On March 3rd of the 35th year of Dalin You'an, it was the Shangsi Festival.
Spring is here and flowers are blooming, and it is a good time for sacrificial offerings and banquets, and a good time for a spring outing in the suburbs.
Prince Yi Fengming had his second wedding in his life.
A lot of things happened in the past month, but Zhou Chang was vague about most of them, and Feng Ming was even more silent.
Since Yuan Qi left, Prince Yi's Mansion has returned to its former appearance, but it is very different from before.
At the beginning, in preparation for the wedding of Prince Yi and Yuan Qi, the palace was completely renovated inside and out.
The building is now deserted, but traces of Yuan Qi are everywhere.
At the end of February, Manager He of the Yuan family delivered the dividends from business as usual, saying that it was the silver that was made up after the settlement in the second half of last year.
Zhou Chang didn't even touch it and retreated in front of him.
As soon as He Xi left, Zhou Chang burst into tears.
Even she herself was confused.
But there was a voice in my heart screaming: "What is this, what is this..."
Although he no longer accepted money from the Yuan family, he still had the one million taels of silver that the Yuan family had given him as a birthday gift.
Yuan Yu said that he would donate the money to build a dam, so Zhou Chang could not let him down.
It's a good opportunity to do some serious work and put aside the personal affairs of the children.
Therefore, as soon as the first month of the lunar year came, Zhou Chang pressed the Ministry of Revenue to allocate money and the Ministry of Works to allocate personnel, and gave all the 1 million taels of silver that he had received from Yuan Qi to Zhong Yu. He asked Zhong Yu to select suitable personnel and rush to the south to find skilled craftsmen and talented people, and plan where to build dams and how many dams to build to solve the problem of floods in the south.
Everything was going smoothly, including Prince Yi's second wedding.
The second time Emperor Lin issued an edict to grant a marriage, the object was Yuan Yun, the daughter of the Minister of the Imperial Household.
This choice is both unexpected and reasonable.
For this reason, Zhou Chang had no intention of struggling or resisting at all.
Didn’t Zhong Yu advise Prince Yi to think twice?
Doesn’t everyone hope that Prince Yi can have a chance to soar to the sky?
Now no one knows where Prince Yi’s consciousness has gone.
Then Zhou Chang had no reason to resist, so he just obediently accepted the order.
Even when he saw Gao Yuan's complicated look, he didn't forget to ask: "When can I expect good news from you and Liu E?"
Gao Yuan said gloomily: "Liu E followed Miss Yuan to Beiji."
"What?" Zhou Chang's heart, as dead as water, rarely began to stir again.
Gao Yuan had a blank expression on his face, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad. "On the day the princess left, Liu E had already gone with her. I only found out about this after reading the letter she left behind."
"Why? Doesn't she want to stay in Kunyufang to gain experience? That way she can see you more often, right?" Zhou Chang thought that at least Gao Yuan and Liu E could still be together.
Gao Yuan had long since returned to his usual dumbfounded state, and just answered sullenly, "Miss Liu left a letter saying that she admires Miss Yuan very much. Miss Yuan is truly a role model that all women should learn from, and she wants to learn from her."
"Forget it, just leave them alone." Zhou Chang felt even more depressed and didn't know what else to say.
After Yuan Qi left, Zhou Chang did not shy away from mentioning the Yuan family or Yuan Qi again.
After all, didn’t Yuan Qi ask He Xi to convey a message saying that nothing had changed?
Aunt Jing came up and said, "It's good to go. Now we are the ones in Prince Yi's mansion. Now that the prince is very happy, everything will start over."
During this period, the person Zhou Chang was most grateful to was Aunt Jing.
Originally, Zhou Chang thought that Aunt Jing would definitely give a "long speech" regarding Yuan Qi's matter.
In the end, when Aunt Jing found out about it that day, she said nothing.
Not only did she not say anything, but in the days that followed, she acted as if nothing had happened and just took care of Prince Yi's daily life as usual, without mentioning a single word about anything else.
There were even two times when Zhou Chang couldn't help wanting to confide in Aunt Jing, but Aunt Jing treated it as normal and asked her to eat well and sleep well, without even a sigh.
No matter what Aunt Jing and the others did, Zhou Chang was grateful in his heart, because at least they were always by his side.
Even though he was skinny and no longer had to eat or drink for free, he actually lost weight without a single complaint.
"Nothing has changed, we are still friends."
He didn’t remember which day it was, but maybe not long after, this sentence popped into Zhou Chang’s mind, and then he suddenly understood.
Yes, nothing has changed for her.
Isn’t this the result she wanted?
So, what are you still depressed about?
Now, Prince Yi wore a bright red wedding gown for the second time and stood in front of the gate of Prince Yi’s mansion.
Zhou Chang also felt that it was no big deal.
Anyway, it's just going through the ceremony process again.
Anyway, she won't enter the bridal chamber with the bride.
Zhou Chang was still standing next to the white jade lion on the stone steps of the gate.
The new doorman, Li Fu, replaced Uncle Qiu and went back and forth to greet and see off guests attending the wedding, inviting them into the mansion.
Zhong Yuye remained the same, sitting behind a square table with a few servants to receive gifts.
There were also many guests, which was comparable to the last time.
Prince Rong was ill and could not come, but even though he was not there, he still presented gifts.
King Xian went to inspect the military camp and could not come back in time.
He has always been a commander of troops. Even when he does not have much military power when there is no need to fight, he still has his own army.
The reason for the Prince of Duan's death was that his wife had finally given birth to a son two days ago, and it was a boy as he had wished. And as soon as his son was born, rumors spread that this child would be extremely valuable in the future.
Concubine Yi, Gu, and Prince Duan were naturally overjoyed. Prince Duan's legs and feet were already disabled, so he was unwilling to leave the house easily, and he stayed with his eldest son every step of the way.
Zhou Chang doesn’t care who comes and who doesn’t.
I guess Yi Wang Fengming doesn't care either.
Because it didn’t feel like my own wedding at all.
Welcoming the newlyweds, worshipping in the hall, escorting them to the bridal chamber, and toasting...
Complete the process smoothly.
Zhou Chang symbolically toasted all the guests with a glass of wine and then retreated back to his study.
The skinny monkey then brought some food.
"Monkey, you used to drink with Uncle Qiu. Now that Uncle Qiu is gone, do you still drink?" Zhou Chang asked as he looked at the dishes and a pot of wine in the food box.
The skinny monkey didn't look happy at all: "I can drink, but I don't like it very much. I used to drink to accompany Uncle Qiu, but now I don't drink."
Without people to drink with, you can drink or not.
Even if there is no one to eat with, the meal still needs to be eaten.
Zhou Chang had been busy all day and was exhausted both physically and mentally, but he still had no appetite.
He ate a few bites reluctantly and waited until the guests outside gradually dispersed. Without anyone inviting him, he went straight to the east courtyard of the rear hall.
The bedroom is still the same bedroom, but the layout and furnishings inside have all changed.
With a new person in place, things should naturally be renewed.
All the small items left by Yuan Qi were dealt with by Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang also asked Di Diao to move the remaining large pieces of furniture to the east mansion, which was originally Yuan Qi's dowry. Although the mansion was empty, the land could not be taken away.
