When the Jeong Clan and Du Ruhui were chatting, they were talking about the past, and the atmosphere was quite warm. But suddenly, the Jeong Clan thought of something and said, "Husband, I also thought of something."
Du Ruhui said, "What is it?"
The Jeong Clan said, "Erlang is now Ping Xi Wang, and he will set off for the Western Regions. Although he won't go to the Western Regions for the time being, he will definitely go. Erlang is about the same age now. "
"What I mean is, it's time for the marriage."
"It's not a good idea to drag this matter."
"While Erlang hasn't left yet, let's settle the marriage, and everything will be easy."
The Jeong Clan looked at Du Ruhui and asked, "Husband, what do you think?"
Du Ruhui said in a deep voice, "Boss has been married for many years, and his child can run away. Erlang should be at the age of marriage. After all, many people have children at the age of fifteen or sixteen. As for Erlang, he was considered to be more restrained. He should be of marriageable age. But this matter has to be discussed with Li Xiaogong, the Commandery Prince of Hejian. There can't be any mistakes. "
Li Xiaogong was now conferred the title of Commandery Prince of Hejian.
Once in Li Yuan's era, Li Xiaogong was conferred the title of Commandery Prince of Zhao. But after Li Shimin succeeded the throne, because there were too many titles and too high, it was not conducive to control. Everyone was demoted, so Li Xiaogong was also re-conferred the title of Commandery Prince of Hejian.
The Jeong Clan said, "Erlang's current matter is the first, and it can't be delayed. Who knows what this kid will do tomorrow. Husband, pack up and go with me to Commandery Prince of Hejian's Mansion tonight to visit Li Xiaogong and his wife. At that time, you can chat with Li Xiaogong, and I will discuss it with the Wangfei. "
Du Ruhui looked bitter and said, "Madam, this matter is not urgent. Why don't we go tomorrow morning? "
He was also a little helpless.
Madam's swift and decisive personality was somewhat unable to bear it.
The Jeong Clan member heard Du Ruhui's words and glared at him. In an instant, Du Ruhui took back his words and smiled, "Go, go, Erlang's matters are no small matter."
The Jeong Clan finally nodded in satisfaction. Together with Du Ruhui, they left the mansion and headed to the Hejian Commandery Prince's Mansion.
In fact, Li Xiaogong and his wife hadn't rested at all in the Commandery Prince Hejian Manor either.
They were still enjoying the cool air and chatting in the courtyard.
Li Xiaogong also participated in the evening banquet, so he naturally knew that Du Qi was conferred the title of Ping Xi Wang. He told his consort, Lady Wang, about how Du Qi had been conferred the title of Pacifying West Wang and was going to the Western Regions. However, Lady Wang frowned.
Wang Shi sighed and said, "Du Qi has the ability and talent, but he just likes to mess around! Why do you have to go to the Western Regions when you're in Chang 'an? "
Li Xiaogong smiled and said, "In fact, I think Erlang is a smart person. You see, your husband rarely participates in the affairs of the imperial court now, and I still entertain myself by singing and dancing. Erlang has also made outstanding contributions in the imperial court. At such a young age, he has made contributions and holds a position in the imperial court. At least, he will be a minister. However, Du Qi is too young, so this is somewhat inappropriate. Therefore, he won't be restrained by going to the Western Regions. He doesn't have to entertain himself like me. "
After hearing this, Lady Wang immediately stopped talking. She believed in her husband's vision and analysis. Since Li Xiaogong said so, it must be very reasonable.
Lady Wang said, "In this case, what about the marriage between Yanyun and Du Qi? She was already at the age of twenty, so she could still get married. Du Qi is about to set off for the Western Regions. In my opinion, this marriage should be handled. "
Li Xiaogong said, "Madam, you're right."
"Thud! Thud! "
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps were heard.
It was the housekeeper of the residence.
The housekeeper came to Li Xiaogong's side and saluted, "Your Highness, Du Ruhui and his wife ask to see you."
"Please!"
Li Xiaogong ordered.
The housekeeper went to inform them, while Li Xiaogong took Lady Wang to the hall. At this time, Lady Wang said, "My husband, Du Ruhui and his wife came to the residence so late. Did something happen?"
Li Xiaogong said, "What can happen? The most important thing is nothing but Du Qi. Maybe they are also here for the marriage. I know Du Ruhui and his wife. Du Ruhui can be at ease, but the Jeong Clan is impatient. If she wants to come, Du Ruhui can't stop her. No matter how late she is, she will have to come. "
Lady Wang chuckled when she heard this.
The couple came to the hall. As soon as they entered the hall, Du Ruhui and the Jeong Clan had already entered the courtyard.
Both sides greeted each other and sat down.
According to the Jeong Clan's original intention, Du Ruhui and Li Xiaogong would talk after Du Ruhui stated the purpose of their visit. The Jeong Clan and Lady Wang would go to the backyard to discuss Du Qi's marriage. However, Li Xiaogong said that they were family, so they discussed it together. So they didn't separate.
The Jeong Clan looked at Du Ruhui and signaled him to speak.
In front of outsiders, the Jeong Clan was very virtuous.
They didn't compete with Du Ruhui.
After all, she and Du Ruhui had been husband and wife for decades. She knew how to get along with each other.
Du Ruhui smiled and said, "Commandery Prince Hejian, when it comes to Erlang's marriage, as for the wedding ceremony and so on, it's not complicated. It can be arranged easily. The main problem is that when we invite guests, what should we do if it involves the Retired Emperor and His Majesty? Should we invite them? "
When Li Xiaogong heard this, he nodded and said, "The Retired Emperor values Erlang greatly and is quite protective of him. If we don't invite the Retired Emperor, it won't be appropriate. Of course, we can't ignore His Majesty. Therefore, we have to invite both of them. As for the other colleagues in the imperial court, that's easy. We just have to invite them. "
Du Ruhui said, "Okay, we'll do as you say. Apart from that, our idea is to hold a three-day banquet for Erlang's wedding. Anyone who is willing to come can come. Our Du Family's banquet is open to everyone. "
On the way here, Du Ruhui and the Jeong Clan had already discussed this.
The Du Family was rich.
They didn't lack this little bit of money.
Therefore, they would hold a three-day banquet to ensure that anyone who wanted to eat would be able to come.
Li Xiaogong thought for a moment and said, "In the past, Erlang didn't plan to go to the Western Regions. Holding a three-day banquet like this is a little too eye-catching. After all, the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. But now that Erlang is going to the Western Regions, it's not a big deal to hold a three-day banquet. Whatever can be arranged can be arranged. The wedding ceremony can't be bad. "
Du Ruhui said, "That's what I mean."
Both sides spoke one after another and quickly discussed the wedding. In the end, except for an auspicious date, all other matters had been settled. The only thing left was to hold the wedding.
By the time they finished discussing this matter, it was already close to dawn. Du Ruhui and the Jeong Clan took their leave. For the Jeong Clan, it was only when they settled on their son's marriage that they could truly feel at ease.
