184 Marriage

The day Chen Yan got married, it was the day when the palace test list was released.

As soon as the yellow paper list was posted, several families were happy and a few were sad, and a few families were at the bottom of the list, which was lively and lively, giving birth to countless rights and wrongs.

But this has nothing to do with Chen Yan, when she gets up early in the morning, she bathes and changes clothes, waiting for Mrs. Quanfu to comb her hair and open her face.

The house is also very lively, just like Taohua got married at that time, the girls of the Jiang family came, and Jiang Meihua and Jiang Xinghua also sent things in the palace, and it didn't seem to be bad.

But Chen Yan knew very well in her heart - much worse. Just said that the wedding dress on her body was made of silk, and the embroidered peony flowers looked magnificent, but if it was compared with the brocade wedding dress of Taohua, it was a comparison of goods and had to be thrown away.

The same is true of the wedding dress, the same is true of the hijab, not to mention the dowry. Even Mrs. Quanfu invited today is not the one when Taohua got married. As for the sisters who came to accompany her today, Jiang Danhua pulled her face as usual, Jiang Lianhua was smiling, but she talked to Taohua more. Chen Yan looked around the house, and suddenly felt a little desolate - when she was surnamed Jiang in the past, she could still say that these were her sisters, but now she has the surname Chen, and she is naturally separated from the daughter of the Jiang family.

Cao didn't think about it so much. In her opinion, her daughter is the best, especially today when she wears a red wedding dress and is about to marry into the Hanlin family, she thinks that her daughter is as beautiful as a flower and satisfied, and the smile on her face has never come down.

"Madam, the new aunt has arrived at the mouth of the alley!" The little maid ran in to pass the word, and Jing smiled and said, "It's the auspicious time, this is accurate!" ”

These words were originally good words, but when Chen Yan heard it in his ears, he remembered that when Taohua got married, Shen Shu arrived early, so that the Jiang family had to send Jiang Bohua out to cheat, so that the time could be delayed to the auspicious time.

In fact, there are some things that are really unexpected. If you don't want to, you feel that it's very passable, but if you think about it, you can't help but find a lot of faults. The family affair with the Liu family was originally out of hope, and Chen Yan was also ecstatic when she was married, but when she was compared with Taohua's family affair, she couldn't help but think about it too much, so after thinking about it, she saw that it was unsatisfactory.

The wedding dress is not as good, the dowry is not as good, and the future is not as good, which is the saddest thing. I originally felt that the status of King Anjun was embarrassing, although he was noble, he had to attract the emperor's taboo, and he would just be a rich idler in the future. Who knew that although the king of Anjun was not allowed to be reused by the emperor, Taohua had the ability to let the emperor order her errand. Let's just say that at the moment, she hasn't found a chance to defend Liu Zhijing, in case Taohua says something, Liu Zhijing's errand may be lost.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but complain a little about the Cao family who was dangling around with a handkerchief to wipe her tears: If she hadn't neglected Jiang Xi and let Bai Guo take the opportunity to make such a fuss, maybe she would have had some opportunities to talk to Taohua. However, since sending Baiguo away, Taohua's face towards their mother and daughter was not very kind, so she couldn't open her mouth.

Cao didn't know that he complained in his daughter's heart, but he was sad when he heard Liu Zhijing enter the door, thinking that his daughter would soon become someone else's family, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and he couldn't stop it.

In the end, it was a mother and daughter, Chen Yan saw her like this, she couldn't complain, and she shed two tears, and she was hurriedly persuaded by Xi Niang - she carefully wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and added a little fat powder, then covered her head and went to the front hall.

Jiang Xi stood in the hall, looked at Liu Zhijing standing in front of him, and sighed secretly in his heart: Look at this person's life, he is also a talent, and he has a good painting.

Liu Zhijing stood there, with a smile on his face, and he was also uneasy in his heart.

When he arrived at the gate of the Jiang family, he saw not only the sons of the Jiang family standing in the door, but also Shen Shu standing with his hands in his hands with a smile, and suddenly his heart was chuckled. However, when everyone has arrived, can they still turn around and go back? I had to step forward with a hard head, and a hypnotic poem was read a little stumbling, but fortunately, everyone thought that he was nervous about coming to the door to welcome his relatives, although he also made fun of a few words, but no one suspected that he was actually scared.

With such a play, Liu Zhijing's joy because of marriage was also dispelled, more of a worry about the errand at hand, and I don't know if Chen Yan said it for him in front of the princess of Anjun - if you say that you are going to the king of Anjun to argue, then I am afraid that it is boring to find myself, but I still hope to fool the princess of the county, even if she is proficient in medical skills, a woman's family will not be too familiar with the matter of horses.

He waited a little apprehensively for a while, and Chen Yan over there covered her red head and finally walked out with the help of Xi Niang.

According to custom, it is natural to have parents to teach, Jiang Xi looked at Chen Yan who was standing below, thinking that he was thin and small when he first married into the Jiang family with the Cao family, but now he has grown in size, and he is actually going to marry a wife.

In the end, he is a soft-hearted person, even if he thinks that Chen Yan is not good in a thousand ways, and if he marries today, he will be a member of someone else's family, and those unhappiness in the past will be put aside for the time being, and he sighed slightly and said: "Although you are not my own daughter, now you have reverted to the surname Chen, after all, you have also called me my father for a few years." Now that you are going to marry someone else's family, I also hope that you will have a good life. Remember what I said: You must live your life with sincerity and sincerity, and come back to see your mother when you have time. ”

This exhortation is different from what is generally taught to "be filial to your parents, respect your husband, and be considerate of your younger brothers and sisters", Shen Shu stood aside and understood in his heart that Jiang Xi was clearly teaching Chen Yan, but in fact, he was saying it to Liu Zhijing, which meant that he would do less things to escape from the battle in the future and be an honest man.

It's just that Liu Zhijing hasn't heard this meaning for the time being, because he heard Jiang Xi say "reverted to the surname Chen", and he was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

Regarding Chen Yanfu's surname, the emperor only sent a second-class internal supervisor to pass on the message. Because the Jiang family has a princess of the county who is still doing great things in the northwest, everyone will only think about Taohua when they see the internal supervisor and go to the Jiang family. Besides, the Chen family is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is impossible for Chen Yan to return to the Chen family with great fanfare, so although the Jiang family knows about it, outsiders don't know about it.

Of course, Liu Zhijing didn't know about it, but now that he suddenly heard Jiang Xi say this, he almost opened his mouth to ask what was going on. Finally, he still had some brains, and the words came to his lips and swallowed hard.

However, although he didn't ask, Liu Zhijing was thinking about it quickly in his heart. He didn't think that it was the emperor's will, so he only thought about Jiang Xi.

In the family, the only one who can restore the stepdaughter's original surname is Jiang Xi, the head of the family. And the one who can influence Jiang Xi is none other than Princess Anjun. When Liu Zhijing thought about it, he felt a cold sweat on his back: Chen Yan is not stupid enough to revert to his surname, so whether it is Jiang Xi's meaning or Princess Anjun's meaning, it means that Chen Yan is no longer in the Jiang family's former status, so is it useless for him to marry this woman?

But things have developed to this extent, the bride has been carried out by her cousin and is ready to get on the sedan chair, can you call the empty sedan chair to turn around at this time and say that she will not marry? If he really did this, don't care about Chen Yan's surname, he would offend the Jiang family to death. Liu Zhijing could only bow down and salute Jiang Xi and Cao, and turned around and walked out of Jiang's house.

There was already a small house waiting outside the gate of Jiang's house, and when they saw the sedan chair lifted, they immediately lit firecrackers again, and the welcoming team also blew and blow, hugging the big red sedan chair and going out of the alley.

Chen Yan sat in the swaying sedan chair, only to feel that her heart was also swaying, and she couldn't get it down, her palms were slightly sweaty, and even the treasure bottle she was holding in her hand was a little slippery.

The bride holds the treasure vase, which is originally a custom in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not popular in the capital. However, the Cao family lives in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Cao family believes in this, so they still prepare a small vase for their daughter, which also contains some good grains, symbolizing a bumper harvest and a safe family.

This vase is not very large, but it is two palms high and one palm wide, but because it is filled with grains, it still has some weight. Chen Yan hugged her hands a little sore, and was about to change her hands, when suddenly the sedan chair suddenly stopped, and Chen Yan also shook violently, almost being thrown out. She grabbed the window lattice next to her to stabilize her body, but the vase fell to the bottom of the sedan chair with a bang, cracking a long crack, and the grain in it also spilled out.

Chen Yan was shocked and angry, and was about to ask the sedan chair man what he was doing, when he heard a shrill voice say, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" The princess of Anjun is rumored in the palace! The sedan chair swayed to the side again, and the sound of horses' hooves rubbed the sedan chair closely.

The princess of Anjun in the palace? Chen Yan swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, just holding on to the window frame to prevent herself from falling out. Fang Cai's kind of shrill voice, she had heard it several times in the Jiang family-the attendants who came to announce the decree were all similar voices. It's just that there is no announcement in this palace sooner or later, how can you pick her up on the day of marriage!

The sedan chair went out of the mother's door, and it was not good to land before arriving at the door of the husband's house, but the alley was not very wide, and the waiter galloped through the horse, and the sedan chair drivers were squeezed into a mess, and the sedan chair still fell to the ground on one side. But at this time, everyone pretended not to know, and quickly lifted the sedan chair again, and quickened their pace to move forwardβ€”after a while, if Princess Anjun's carriage and horse came out of it, they would have to give way!

Taohua was also stunned for a moment by the sudden summons, fortunately, there was nothing to do after the female family sent the bride out of the door, although the Liu family also sent the invitation to the Anjun Palace, but Shen Shu didn't plan to go to the Liu family for a banquet at all - with his identity, he didn't dare to say anything if he didn't go to the Liu family. So as soon as the waiter came, Taohua cleaned up a little and entered the palace with Shen Shu.

"It was the lady concubine who was unwell and suddenly had abdominal pain, and it took too many medical injections to relieve her." It was Du Neijian who came to pick up Taohua, and today the palace trial list, the emperor is still ahead, and he really can't take care of Concubine Yuan Shu.

Momoka furrowed her eyebrows when she heard this. There is definitely something wrong with Yuan Shufei's baby, it is very likely that there is already a stillborn baby in her belly, if this is the case, even if the imperial doctor uses acupuncture to save it this time, it will not be able to save it for a few days.

Concubine Yuan Shu's Zhongxiu Palace is like a tomb at this moment, and the palace people who come in and out are all silent, not to mention the sound of footsteps, I can't even breathe. Tassel waited in front of the bed with a white face, and when she saw Taohua, she hurriedly stepped forward: "Ask the princess of the county to save our mother!" ”

Du Neijian glanced at her with a straight face, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you talking about!" Concubine Niangniang is good, you dare to curse Niangniang and the dragon fetus in your womb here? ”

How dare the tassel curse the dragon fetus? It's just that she doesn't know anything anymore, and she can see that Yuan Shufei's baby is afraid that she won't be able to keep it.

Concubine Yuan Shufei was lying on the bed groggily, and Taohua checked her pulse, and her brows furrowed even tighter. The tassel looked at it from the side, and I only felt that my heart was sinking in ice water, and I couldn't get it out.

After taking the pulse, Taohua motioned to Du Neijian to go to the outer hall, and then said in a low voice: "Have you found anything in the diet?" ”

Du Neijian beckoned, and a thin chamberlain came up with a cup, and opened it to spread a stream of medicinal incense mixed with a little rose fragrance: "A few days before the princess returned to Beijing, this thing stopped, probably because the princess didn't diagnose anything, and it started to ...... again in the past few days."

Taohua sniffed: "This is a decoction that replenishes qi and blood?" "This medicine contains roses, cinnacle bark, red dates, angelica, ejiao and white fungus, which can not only be used to protect the fetus, but also to nourish blood and beauty. However, I always feel that the fragrance of this rose seems to be a little stronger.

"Yes." Du Neijian bowed his head and said, "When Zhao Chongyi was pregnant before, she often drank rose dew. ”

"So this medicine is rose-flavored?" Momoka immediately understood. But there were so many things mixed in such a cup of decoction that she could roughly smell what medicine was already well trained, and it was impossible to tell what the medicine was in it.

"Still have to find that medicine...... "Momoka sniffed and sniffed carefully, and finally shook her head, "It's really hard to tell." She didn't want to drink a little to taste it, after all, the medicine in it was definitely not good for fertility, and she didn't want to risk it for Concubine Yuan Shu.

"If the medicine is either in Fengyi Palace, it is in Shouxian Palace." Du Neijian was also very embarrassed, "If there is no evidence, the emperor can't go to search the palace...... "It's just a matter of searching other palaces, but the residence of the queen mother and the queen is not something that can be searched casually."

"The emperor just wants to know what this medicine is for."

What exactly is it for? Teratogenic? Stillbirth? But if this medicine was also used on the concubine of the ancestors at the beginning, why did Shen Shu land healthily?

Health – Is Shen Shu healthy? Taohua's heart suddenly moved. Not! Shen Shu does seem to be physically strong, and he has been taught by the Marquis of Dingbei to excel in martial arts, but he can't be said to be healthy and healthy, because of his eyes!

The biggest possibility of color blindness is heredity, but Mrs. Dingbei Hou has almost checked the eighteenth generation of Mrs. Tai's ancestors, and has not found the same color blindness patients, that is, there is a great possibility that Shen Shu's color blindness is not hereditary.

I remember that when Zhao Chongyi was pregnant, she said that she was dizzy and dizzy...... "It may be high blood pressure during pregnancy, but it may also be that the brain and eyes are affected by the medicine," is she still feeling any discomfort now? ”

Du Neijian thought for a moment: "I don't seem to have heard of it...... The princess means ......"

"Does Concubine Yuan have any symptoms of dizziness?"

"Yes!" Supervisor Du replied in the affirmative. Since Yuan Shufei was pregnant, the emperor had to come over almost every day, and if he didn't follow the emperor, he was sent by the emperor to reward something, so he knew Yuan Shufei's situation very well, "Niangniang often said that she had a headache, and she sometimes had flowers in front of her eyes, and she couldn't see things clearly...... If so, it is somewhat similar to Zhao Chongyi. ”

Zhao Chongyi's situation at that time was completely opposite to Concubine Yuan Shu. Yuan Shufei was a little paranoid-like from the beginning, and as long as she felt the slightest discomfort, she would immediately scream. And Zhao Chongyi hides everything, so she is not very comfortable and refuses to say it, lest others think that she is not pregnant well.

As a result, neither of them is truthful, so that in some cases it is really difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Moreover, dizziness is not only a common situation for pregnant women, but also for ordinary women, if they are in poor health, they often have dizziness, and there are too many reasons. If it weren't for Tao Hua's sudden thought of Shen Shu's eyes now, he probably wouldn't have connected these three people.

"Woke up?" There was a tassel surprise sound in the inner hall, Taohua looked back, and saw Yuan Shufei pressing her temple with one hand, being helped up by the tassel, and said a little blankly: "What's wrong?" ”

Tassel almost cried, but held back again: "The mother fainted, but the slave was scared to death." ”

"My childβ€”" Concubine Yuan woke up suddenly, covering her lower abdomen with one hand.

"It's okay, it's okay!" The tassel said in a loud voice, "The imperial doctor has injected the mother, and the dragon fetus has been saved!" ”

Concubine Yuan's eyes lit up slightly, and then she raised her hand to hide her face: "Why are you so dazzling?" ”

It was noon, and the sun was indeed very bright, but the inner hall of the dormitory was still hiding the window for fear of her being exposed to the wind, and the light was not very bright, let alone dazzling.

"What do you think now?" Momoka strode in, "But don't you feel comfortable with your eyes?" ”

Concubine Yuan Shu put her hand on her eyebrows, and looked at her for a while as if she was so shaken by the sun that she couldn't open her eyes before she said, "Princess Anjun?" ”

"It's me." Taohua bent down slightly and looked at Yuan Shufei's eyes, because she was covered by her palm, she couldn't see if her pupils had changed, "Can Niangniang see me clearly?" ”

"It's too bright...... Concubine Yuan said subconsciously, and then seemed to wake up, "Princess Anjun isβ€”came to diagnose my pulse?" Did you get a diagnosis? ”

She suddenly became urgent again, and reached out to grab Taohua: "What medicine did they give me?" You've been diagnosed, haven't you? I was drugged, wasn't I? ”

It is true that the drug is administered, but what kind of drug is prescribed has not yet been diagnosed. And judging from the current situation, even if the diagnosis is confirmed, the emperor will not let Concubine Yuan Shu know, right?

Taohua took a step back, and glanced at Yuan Shufei with pity or disgust: "What is the discomfort of Niangniang, can you tell me in detail?" ”

"Discomfort?" Concubine Yuan Shu leaned forward eagerly, "A lot!" I often have headaches, dizziness, dizziness, ......"

When Concubine Yuan Shu was chattering in the palace, Chen Yan had already stepped into the door of Liu's house.

It should be said that the Liu family is still quite lively today. Liu Zhijing went to the northwest once, and I heard that he was invited to treat the epidemic, everyone knows that the emperor attaches great importance to the epidemic, although he finally came back early with a limp, but after all, the attitude is there, and I heard that he is also very helpful in collecting medicinal materials on the road, and he always has a share of credit.

Especially lucky, I heard that he knew how to plant pox in the northwest, no, now he is in charge of preparing for pox with the uncle of the princess of the county. Although it is impossible for this pox to start planting before the princess returns to Beijing, there is a lot of preparation work in the early stage. And pox is a big deal, so you can imagine what credit Liu Zhijing will have when this thing is done.

For this, Liu Zhijing can't be regarded as the poor Hanlin who was high and sour in the past, so the small mansion of the Liu family is so full today that the wedding banquet prepared is not enough.

Mrs. Liu was so busy that she hit the back of her head, ran to the front to take a look, and ran back to her room to find a few taels of silver and handed it to Poria Cocos: "You go to the braised meat shop at the mouth of the alley to buy some sauce beef and roast sheep's head, and then go and make a few pots of wine, hurry up!" Turning his head and calling wolfberry, "Quickly wash the green vegetables, start a fire under the stove, and I'll fry a few more vegetables!" "It was surprising that so many people were here today.

Poria was in a daze with those few pieces of broken silver. To be honest, although she is a maid, she really hasn't done such a job as buying meat and drinking wine on the street, and it is all done by the little servants in the Jiang family.

"What are you doing in a daze!" Mrs. Liu glared at her, "Delay the distinguished guests outside, be careful of your skin!" ”

Poria cocos and wolfberry came first with the dowry that day, these days in the Liu family has been Mrs. Liu to do the work, today is even more busy in the morning, breakfast is just a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns, and two dishes of pickles, a plate of dried radish, a plate of pickled gourd, all of which are so salty that they can kill the salt seller. She had never eaten such a meal since she was in her next life, she barely swallowed half a steamed bun, and at this moment her stomach was already singing empty city plans, and her legs were so tired that she didn't want to take a single step.

But what else can be said at this time? I had to go out with my money. When I went out, I found that the so-called braised meat shop at the mouth of the alley was actually a braised meat shop that could barely be seen at the mouth of the alley, and it had to go far away. After mentioning a few more pots of wine, Poria only felt that her feet were about to break, so she finally moved back to Liu's house.

This naturally scolded Mrs. Liu again, but fortunately, there was no food and no wine on the front table, and Mrs. Liu only scolded twice, so she asked her to hurry up and send wine and food, and she couldn't care about anything else.

was so busy until the afternoon, although the guests were not all dispersed, but no one ate and drank anymore, Poria took a breath of relief and went to the new room to see Chen Yan.

The so-called new house, that is, a few houses are repainted, and even the tiles on the house have not been replaced. Poria entered the room and saw Chen Yan sitting on the edge of the bed, and Daylilies were talking in a low voice, as if she had seen a relative: "Girl-"
