Chapter 478 - 441: Yang Chengye’s Grand Wedding
As the month of May arrived.
The Marquis Mansion was aglow with lights and decorated brightly, filled with an air of festivity.
On the fifth day of May, Yang Chengye’s grand wedding took place. As the eldest grandson of the Marquis Mansion, his wedding was naturally the most important event.
And in late April, the Yu family’s carriages had already arrived at Chongshan Pass, making preparations for the upcoming grand wedding.
On the first day of May, Marquis Dongping, Yu Yuanzan, accompanied by his eldest son, Yu Mingzhou, and his eldest grandson, Yu Zicheng, arrived at Chongshan Pass.
After ascending the throne, Emperor Yanping crowned Mrs. Yu as the Empress in the following month and simultaneously granted Yu Yuanzan the title of Marquis Dongping, an annual stipend of three thousand stones, extending it over three generations, and appointed him as Grandee of Honour and Deputy Commander of the Front Army Commander’s Mansion.
This was truly a meteoric rise.
From an obscure household head, he leaped to becoming the Deputy Commander of the Front Army Commander’s Mansion and was titled Marquis Dongping.
Yang Zhenshan, who had been fighting on the battlefields for more than a decade, was only granted the title of Marquis Jing’an and the position of Deputy Commander of the Central Army Commander’s Mansion, whereas Yu Yuanzan, simply because he had a distinguished daughter, held the same marquis title and official post as Yang Zhenshan.
This thought made Yang Zhenshan feel slighted.
Of course, Yu Yuanzan and Yang Zhenshan were incomparable; Yu Yuanzan’s position was rather nominal, the court did not expect him to accomplish substantial deeds, whereas Yang Zhenshan wielded real power as the General of Chongshan Town.
