my wife is mulan

The elderly man is Wan Yutong's cousin Wan Ming, and the woman is her cousin Wan Lin.

In the past, when Wan Yutong's father, Wan Dugui, was still alive, the two families still had some contacts. Since Wan Dugui's death, the two families have lost contact. Until two years ago, Wan Ming heard that Wan Yutong was in Chang'an. Come over to restore contact.

Wan Yutong was in a happy mood, with a smile on her face all the time. She only had Wan Ming as her elder brother in the world, and she was still a cousin. They both had the same grandfather and belonged to the relatives. If she had a child, her child and the cousin Wan Ming's child would be distant cousins, and the blood relationship between the younger generation would be only three generations old, which was very thin.

At this time, a eunuch came in from outside the door and reported: "Young Concubine, it's almost time!"

Wan Yutong was fully dressed at this time, got up and said, "Let's go!"

The eunuchs and court ladies had already lined up outside, Wan Yutong was surrounded by relatives and friends, the eunuchs and court ladies immediately stepped forward to take over, and relatives and friends could only follow behind.

There were eunuchs and court ladies along the way, and Wan Yutong's arrival made them bow down one after another.

As they approached the Taiji Hall, they heard the majestic and majestic sound of drums. Wan Yutong and Zhao Junsheng met at the back of the Taiji Hall, and they each brought some eunuchs and maids.

A ceremony official said to the two: "The time has come, now please Your Majesty go around the Taiji Hall from the left and go to the front, and ask the imperial concubine to go around the Taiji Hall from the right and go to the front, and meet in front of the Taiji Hall!"

Both of them were dressed in splendid attire, Zhao Junsheng also wore a jade crown, usually he didn't wear a jade crown, only at major ceremonies. The two walked from the side of the Tai Chi Hall to the front of the main hall according to the arrangement of the ceremony officer.

The square in front of the Tai Chi Hall is already crowded with people, many people but not chaotic, orderly, each square formation is neat.

At the front are court ministers, generals, and officials. These squares are divided into official titles and titles. The higher the official title, the closer to the emperor, and vice versa.

After the ministers, military generals and officials, there are scholars, warriors and other celebrities from all over Daqian, that is, people with outstanding achievements and reputations in academics, literature, calligraphy and painting, charity, martial arts and other fields.

Then there are the representatives of the landlords. These people are good at farming, have high grain yields, and sell a lot of grain every year.

There are also quite a few representatives of artisans. These are people with superb skills in various crafts. They not only have superb skills, but also brought out many apprentices to carry forward their skills.

Finally, there are representatives of merchants. The status of merchants is at the bottom of the society. Therefore, although they are rich, they are looked down upon by others, and they are eager to improve their status.

As Zhao Junsheng and Wan Yutong came together and appeared in front of the Tai Chi Hall, everyone bowed down.

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand, and the eunuch next to him shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree, and all the gentlemen will live in peace!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone stood up.

The etiquette officer shouted: "The ceremony has officially begun, read the canonization edict!"

Under Zhao Junsheng's gesture, Kang Yide picked up the canonized imperial edict and read it, and talked eloquently. First, he praised Wan Yutong for being virtuous, virtuous, beautiful, gentle, virtuous, and sentimental. How did she fall in love with Wan Yutong, so she accepted her as a concubine, hoping that she would assist Hua Mulan in taking care of the inner palace in the future, and the sisters should respect each other as guests, and finally said that she could be conferred the title of noble concubine.

In Daqian, because Zhao Junsheng had no experience of accepting concubines before, and the imperial court did not have rules and regulations in this regard, so in theory, the status of noble concubines is second only to queens.

Why is it said to be a concubine instead of a concubine?This explains the problem. The folks say that marrying a wife and taking a concubine, the wife is married in, and the concubine is taken in, and the degree of importance is completely different.

Of course, this is due to the current social environment. In fact, in Zhao Junsheng's heart, Wan Yutong's status is not much worse than Hua Mulan's.

Chapter 959 Gifts

Wan Yutong knelt in front of Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan to listen to the decree. After Kang Yide finished saying hello, she accepted the decree and thanked him.

Hua Mulan's role at this time is equivalent to a parent. She feels that she owes Wan Yutong, and she has been trying to get her into the palace for so many years. The two sisters took care of Zhao Junsheng's inner palace together, but Wan Yutong She has always refused, but after her unremitting efforts, she finally agreed, which is really not easy.

She stepped forward to help Wan Yutong up, the sisters didn't say anything, everything was kept silent.

Next, according to the arrangement of the ceremony officer, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan's children came up to congratulate each other.

After the princes and princesses bowed and bowed down, the second princess, Zhao Ling'er, was married. Her husband was a warrior with ordinary background, but he was strong in martial arts and upright.

She and her husband stood up and took out a scroll and presented it: "Father, Auntie, my husband and I embroidered a picture of Ehuang Nvying serving Emperor Shun and dedicated it to Father and Aunt!"

A eunuch came forward to take away the scroll, Zhao Junsheng ordered: "Open it and see how their craftsmanship is!"

The two eunuchs opened the scrolls. The scrolls were not small, and it would take a lot of work to embroider them. Zhao Junsheng looked at them and asked Wan Yutong, "How is it?"

Wan Yutong looked at it, and said with a smile: "Multiple acupuncture methods were used, because it was a collaboration between two people, one person's needle method was agile and elegant, and the other person's needle method was calm and heavy, with tacit cooperation and a tacit understanding, it was an excellent work! Ling'er's Skills surpass me!"

Zhao Ling'er smiled and said: "My aunt has won the prize, Ling'er has self-knowledge, she is still far behind!"

Zhao Ping stood up and took out something, and said: "Ping accidentally found a Buddha statue a few days ago, and bought it specially to congratulate Auntie!"

The eunuch moved the Buddha statue over, and Wan Yutong looked at it carefully and said: "This Buddha statue seems to be carved from the golden camphor produced in East Tianzhu. From the perspective of carving skills, its carving skills are superb, and Tianzhu's carving skills are exquisite. It is a little rough, so this Buddha statue should be made by my famous masters in Middle Earth, the carving techniques of our Dagan craftsmen are rough and grand, while the carving techniques of the craftsmen of the Southern Dynasty are delicate, so this Buddha statue should come from the Southern Dynasty!"

Zhao Ping expressed admiration, "Auntie is really astute, this Buddha statue was purchased from a merchant from the Southern Dynasty!"

Wan Yutong was quite surprised: "Bought from a merchant from the Southern Dynasty? This kind of object is usually used by people who like it for collection. Even if it has to be sold, it will only be sold to people with similar interests. How could it appear in the hands of a merchant? superior?"

"I don't know about Ping'er!"

Wan Yutong didn't bother with this matter either.

Zhao Junsheng looked at the fourth child and asked, "Fourth child, what gift did you prepare?"

The fourth child scratched his cheeks, took out a wooden slingshot from his bosom with a troubled expression on his face, and said, "I... I'll give this as a present to my grandpa and aunt!"

Zhao Junsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the others laughed, Hua Mulan turned away while covering her face.

Wan Yutong smiled and said: "This slingshot is your favorite, right? You gave us all your favorite things, which shows your sincerity. A Niang likes it very much, thank you!"

The fourth child immediately puffed up his chest, "Small!"

The fifth child stood up and took out a scroll and said, "Grandpa, Auntie, I wrote a letter for you!"

"Oh? Take a look!" Zhao Junsheng was curious.

The eunuch delivered the scroll to Zhao Junsheng. Zhao Junsheng opened it and saw Cao Zhi's "Fu on Luoshen" written on it with Wang Xizhi's style of writing. This is to compare Wan Yutong's beauty to Luoshen.

Regardless of how the handwriting was written, Wan Yutong was overjoyed, stretched out his hand to touch the head of the fifth child and said with a smile: "You little guy knows how to praise the beauty of women at such a young age. You will definitely be great when you grow up!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "The writing is not bad, it can be seen that a lot of work has been put into it!"

The fifth child grinned and said, "Thank you, father and aunt, for your appreciation!"

Hua Mulan looked at her youngest daughter: "What gift do you give Auntie?"

Lao Liu handed over his doll with a look of reluctance, "Auntie, this is for you!"

Wan Yutong smiled and said, "Seeing that you are very reluctant, I still don't want it!"

A struggling expression appeared on the face of the sixth child, "Here, if the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come!"

Everyone around looked at each other in blank dismay, and then burst out laughing, and all the guests watching the ceremony also laughed, this little princess is really cute and interesting.

Then someone came forward to offer a gift, and Zhao Junsheng waved his hand and said, "Masters, you should know that I have never accepted gifts from anyone except the royal family. The imperial court stipulates that ministers, generals, officials and their families are not allowed to engage in business. You only have rewards from the imperial court." Job fields, salary, and ordinary rewards, if everyone compares and scrambles to contribute to me, I am afraid that it will create a bad atmosphere, so I will not accept gifts, and today is no exception, take them all back.

The ministers had known for a long time that Zhao Junsheng had always insisted on not accepting gifts, so they did not prepare any gifts. However, some scholars offered their own paintings and calligraphy, and Zhao Junsheng did not accept them either.
