Chapter 286 Preparing for the wedding
"Ms. Zhuge!" Yang Qing couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing the woman's appearance clearly.
At this time, Zhuge Qiao walked up to him and explained with a smile: "Guo'er missed you, so you came with us." After saying that, he looked at him deeply.
Yang Qing didn't notice the meaningful look in Zhuge Qiao's eyes. He nodded and said with a smile, "That's it." He stepped forward and said to Zhuge Guo, "Ms. Zhuge is here. I don't know how happy the prime minister should be."
Zhuge Guo smiled calmly and said: "Yang Junhou, long time no see."
"We haven't seen each other for several months. Madam Zhuge must be tired from the journey." Yang Qing turned to Zhuge Qiao and said, "Bosong, everyone must be tired. Let's go back to the city first."
"No, Guo'er and I will go to the camp to see you first, and then we won't go into the city."
Yang Qing nodded and said, "That's right, then I won't keep you."
After that, everyone dispersed. Zhuge Qiao, Zhuge Guo, Huo Yi, and Han Chong led the sergeants to the government camp, while Yang Qing and others entered Mianyang County.
Looking at Yang Qing's leaving figure, Zhuge Qiao shook his head and sighed softly: "Oh, Guo'er, now I regret telling you that Ming's brother is going to marry Madam Xiahou, and I didn't know to bring you here."
Is Hanzhong right or wrong? Ming's brother's marriage is a foregone conclusion. I can only say that you and him are destined to have no connection in this life."
It turned out that not long ago, Zhuge Qiao learned from Wu Gap that Yang Qing was going to marry Xia Houyue in Hanzhong. He knew his sister's affection for Yang Qing, so he thought about it for a long time and finally informed Zhuge Guo about it.
Zhuge Guo was silent for a long time after hearing this. He didn't even eat supper, so he returned to his room and stayed there all night.
The next day, she told Zhuge Qiao that she would go to Hanzhong to meet Yang Qing and tell Yang Qing clearly what she had always wanted to say but never said, so that she would not regret it for the rest of her life.
Zhuge Qiao didn't know how to persuade her, so he had to say goodbye to Huang Yueying on the basis of her reason of going to Hanzhong to visit Zhuge Liang. Unexpectedly, he met Wu Que, Xia Houyue and others on the road. Although he felt awkward, he had no choice but to go together.
"Brother, don't worry. Guo'er just came to see him. If I don't say some words, I'm afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life. But don't worry, brother, I won't disturb his marriage. After I finish saying what's in my heart, Guo'er will
Return to Chengdu."
In fact, to avoid worries for Zhuge Qiao and her parents, she still had one sentence she didn't say, that is, after returning to Chengdu, she would live in seclusion behind closed doors, devote herself to practicing Taoism, and would no longer be involved in matters between men and women.
Zhuge Qiao sighed and said, "That's good. Let's settle it earlier and go back, and then slowly forget about it. The world is so big, there are countless young talents, and we, Yue'er, will eventually find our perfect match."
After a pause, he said again: "Let's go, let's go see the adults."
Yang Qing and Xia Houyue were not married yet, so it was difficult for them to live together, so Yang Qing looked for a house next to his own mansion as a place for Xia Houyue and her aunt to stay.
After they settled down, Yang Qing left Mulan here to take care of her due to official duties. He left first and planned to come back to talk in the evening.
"Wei Zhonglang, who is this?" In the study, Yang Qing looked at the middle-aged scribe beside Wei Min who he seemed to have seen before and asked.
In the afternoon, just after he returned from inspecting the county army barracks, he saw Wei Min visiting, and he also brought an important person with him.
Wei Min replied: "So that the princes and princes will know that this is Guo Zifan, Guo Model of the Prime Minister's Office. He is also the former deputy captain of my Wei Wei Mansion. He is responsible for special espionage matters."
Yang Qing secretly said that sure enough, he had already guessed that Guo Mo was a wandering guard, but he didn't expect that he was actually a deputy captain with an important position.
"Should that person be called Guo Jun, Guo Jiji, or should he be called Vice Principal Guo?" Yang Qing nodded and asked with a smile.
Guo Mo cupped his hands and said, "Just ask me, Guo Mo."
"Your identity as a wandering guard should remain a secret. Let's call it Guo Jishi." Yang Qing made an invitation gesture: "You two, please sit down and talk."
After the three of them were seated, Yang Qing asked, "Wei Zhonglang, do you and Guo Ji's office have any business today?"
"Your Majesty Mingjian, I came here this time to ask for something." Wei Min replied with cupped hands.
Yang Qingdao: "Zhonglang only cares about
He said, "You and I are also old friends. If I can help, Yang will be obliged."
"Your Majesty, I would like to thank you in advance." Wei Min stood up, bowed his hands, sat down and continued: "Your Majesty, Vice Colonel Guo is about to carry out an important task, but his current status in the Prime Minister's Office is a little strange.
It's appropriate, so Min wants to transfer Vice Colonel Guo to serve in Hanzhong County, where Junhou is."
"This matter is easy. The Prime Minister's Office will issue an order, and I, Hanzhong County, will handle it." Yang Qing agreed.
Wei Min smiled and said: "Not only that, Vice Colonel Guo will be ordered to defect to Cao Wei Wei Xing Prefect Shen Yi, so we have to trouble the king to cooperate with us to put on a show."
"I see, we are all loyal to the country, so why bother about trouble? Zhonglang, please tell me, what should I do with Yang?"
Wei Min said: "The king only needs to be like this..."
At night, Yang Qing finished his official duties and came to the house where Xia Houyue and the others lived to have dinner together.
"Are Madam and Yueniang still getting used to living together? If there is anything missing, just tell me and I will let them take care of it." Yang Qing put down the chopsticks in his hands and asked with concern.
He rented this house, hired a few maids and servants, and added some furniture and items. There should be no problem in housing a few people.
Mrs. Xiahou said: "Let the Lord take the trouble, this house is elegant and quiet, we like it very much."
"Brother Yang, this place is already very good, nothing is missing." Xia Houyue also said quickly.
Yang Qing smiled and said: "That's good, but even though we are only staying temporarily for a period of time, we still have to live comfortably."
What he meant was that Xia Houyue could move to his mansion after marrying him. Xia Houyue and Mrs. Xiahou were both smart people, so they naturally understood the meaning of this. Suddenly a look appeared on Xia Houyue's face.
She was blushing, and Mrs. Xiahou also looked at the two of them and smiled.
After dinner, the three of them drank tea and talked in the pavilion. Yang Qing said to Mrs. Xiahou: "By the way, madam, the eighth day of next month is a good day for marriage. Qing wants to arrange his marriage to Yueniang on this day.
What do you think of that day?"
"Ah." Xia Houyue exclaimed softly after hearing this, picked up the teapot and ran out with a blushing face: "Yueer, go and add some water."
Mrs. Xiahou said with a smile: "Although Yue'er has a strong side, she is a woman who has not left the court after all. She is shy after hearing about her marriage. You must not laugh at her."
"This... I understand."
Mrs. Xiahou continued: "The eighth day of the next lunar month will be very good. If you get married early, I, the aunt, will feel relieved."
It is now the twenty-fourth of July, and there are only fourteen days left before the eighth day of August. For court ministers like Yang Qing, the etiquette is quite rushed.
Yang Qing said: "Madam, don't worry. Although I have told Yueniang to keep everything simple, the due etiquette will not be lacking. Qing will not wrong Yueniang."
"In this case, it all depends on your arrangement." Mrs. Xiahou said with satisfaction.
The next day, Yang Qing began to prepare for his wedding. Weddings in the Han Dynasty also had six rituals: asking for names, asking for names, accepting gifts, asking for dates, and welcoming in person. Although Yang Qing and Xia Houyue agreed to keep everything simple, these six rituals
This ceremony will not be omitted.
Since ancient times, marriage matters have required the help of a matchmaker. To complete the six rites, a matchmaker needs to be involved. Therefore, Yang Qing was going to the mansion and asked Ma Di to be the matchmaker. Ma Di was a good talker and was his good friend. It was best to be a matchmaker.
