The bathroom in Wutong Yuan is specially built, but it is not like Liu Jiaao, there is also no water tank and water supply and drainage, but it is a larger bath barrel, and there are wooden steps outside. There is a low table next to it, and on it are a change of clothes for bathing and things like bath beans and shower gel shampoo.

At this time, the warm and suitable water had been placed in the bath bucket, Qiu Chen walked over, looked at the clear water in the bath bucket, and thought that Qin Zheng was only afraid that he was tired these days, so he simply turned around, took a bottle of lavender essential oil from his makeup box, and dropped a few drops into it, and a faint fragrance spread with the heat.

Qiu Chen reached out and stirred the warm water in the bath tub, revealing a satisfied smile. The bath essential oil series she proposed is not too strong, and the light taste is just right.

"What does it smell like? I don't think I've ever heard of it...... Is it a floral scent? A deep voice suddenly appeared on his side, causing Qiu Chen's hands to tremble in fright, and he almost threw the lavender essential oil bottle in his hand into the bathtub.

Slowly, Qiu Chen patted his chest and turned his head, glaring at Qin Zheng, but under the other party's smiling gaze, he involuntarily retreated, avoiding his gaze, Qiu Chen followed the light in his eyes and said in a low voice: "Mu Tang is ready, let's take a bath in a wide clothes!" ”

Qin Zheng looked at the woman with her hands hanging down and a soft face but didn't come forward to help him with her clothes at all, and without saying much, she took off the red dress on her body very cooperatively and handed it to Qiu Chen.

Qiu Chen was stunned, then he took it with hindsight, hung it on the hanger in the corner of the house, and then turned around, but the man next to the bathtub had already taken off his middle coat, and only a pair of obscene pants were left on his tall and straight body.

Qiu Chen stared at him for a moment, but instead of avoiding it, he walked over and looked at the wound on Qin Zheng's shoulder closely. It was her and Tang Wenyong who worked together to clean and suture the wound, and at this time there was only a faint red line left, and the few small needle marks next to it were so faint that they were almost invisible.

For some reason, Qiu Chen's hand had already been caressed, rubbing the scar with a slight convex feeling, and sighed: "Fortunately, it's not the scar skin......

As she spoke, her eyes extended along with her hand, and she came to Qin Zheng's ribs, where there was a wound that she had cleaned and treated by herself, this wound was heavier in color because of the short time, and it could be seen that the stitches were more neat than Tang Wenyong's stitches, but it was still a little bit of flesh red and it was very obvious, plus a scar with a thick line, like a centipede lying on human skin, very ugly. It's just that Qiu Chen didn't have the heart to comment on beauty and ugliness at this time, and he just felt sad when he touched the dark red raised scar with his hand.

This man is so good, he went to the border at the age of fifteen, in order to protect the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he gave up the prosperity of the capital and stayed in that cold and desolate place for more than ten years, during which he had to go into battle to kill the enemy and charge into battle...... How many times he brushed shoulders with death, maybe he himself can't remember, in the end, he opened up territory for the Ming Kingdom, laid a large area of land, and returned to Beijing, but he had to escape the suppression and dumping in a self-inflicted way again and again......

This seems to be a superficial scenery, but in fact, the dark place is in the whirlpool of the torrent, and I have to use all my energy to be vigilant against the dark arrows that I don't know where the road will shoot from...... On this kind of day, it's better to go back to Liujiaao and tease the dog!

The smooth hand caressed his scar, and after Qin Zheng was slightly surprised, he didn't dodge, but he was a little curious, this woman was obviously shy like that just now, how could she be so active in the blink of an eye?

When Qiu Chen's hand slid from his shoulder to his ribs, slowly stroking the wound in that place, he suddenly understood. She looked at the wounds on his body...... Is this a test of the results of the treatment?

Qin Zheng felt a little funny...... How can this woman be so absent, the two of them are the bride and groom, tonight is the night of candles in the cave room of the two of them, how can she not have a little bit of self-knowledge of being a bride?

The bridegroom was almost stripped naked, but the bride woman completely ignored the charm of his man to examine the wound...... This kind of thing can't be endured by a man, right?

Qin Zheng stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around the woman's shoulder, and was about to do something, but suddenly heard the woman sigh in a low voice.

This sigh seemed to have magical power, and it suddenly touched the deepest softness in Qin Zheng's heart.

Her hand caressed his wounds, and it was understandable that she did not frighten him, after all, these two wounds were treated or participated in by her own hands, so what could she sigh for?

This soft, almost inaudible sigh was unusually heavy and depressing, as if it was about to sigh out the deepest depression in my heart.

Qin Zheng suddenly felt that this sigh seemed to be a sigh for him, and the heaviness and depression in the deepest part of his heart often made him want to vent and release, and galloped his horse and roared...... But, often, he could only let out such a light sigh.

Don't even dare to sigh too much!

The arm on Qiu Chen's shoulder stiffened, and Qin Zheng heard the woman in his arms whisper in the next moment: "One day, let's return to the countryside, plant beans and melons, and pick chrysanthemums in Nanshan, okay?" ”

Qin Zheng's eyes were hot, and the bottom of his heart instantly became a piece, his arms were folded, and he tightly pulled the woman into his arms, feeling the obvious contrast between softness and hardness, but the two people, the man and the woman, seemed to have found their missing other half in an instant, extremely relieved and peaceful.

"Okay, I'll answer you, and when that day comes, we'll go back together!"

……

On the second day, Qiu Chen still woke up by habit.

Before she opened her eyes, a musk-like musk smell first permeated her nose...... Qiu Chen, who was in a daze, suddenly came to his senses, remembered where he was, and then his body sensed a warm body very cooperatively, and at this moment, Qin Zheng's arms were still behind her back in a hug around her waist, and the two of them were lying together in a very intimate posture...... Last night's events were randomly replayed in her mind.

Ashamed! Embarrassment! But it's more about peace of mind and peace of mind!

This embrace is so solid and powerful, and this breath is so peaceful and reassuring. The touch behind her is solid and elastic, warm, and her whole body is comfortable and lazy and does not want to move.

She even leaned back unconsciously, wanting to get closer to the person behind her, so that she could absorb more warmth......

"Awake?" A deep voice sounded in the back of his head with the lazy meaning of a first awakening.

Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, moved his body slightly, and responded in a low voice.

"Well, it's still early, lie down for a while......" Qin Zheng's hand wrapped around Qiu Chen's waist, and his slightly rough palm brushed her skin, so that Qiu Chen finally realized that he was not at all at this time, and the same was true of the people behind him!

……

Qiu Chen sat in the bathtub and let Chen dry her hair, the water was a little cold, but she was not mentally ready to get out of the river.

Chen Shi looked at her who had been sitting in the bathtub with her head hanging and curling up, and couldn't help but be a little funny, but tried to persuade her in a calm and soft voice: "Madam, your hair is wrenched, you should go out, and you will go to the ancestral hall to worship your ancestors later, and you will also go to meet Aunt Weng......"

Qiu Chen also knew that it was ridiculous to be an ostrich at this time, the cave room had been holed, and no one forced him, he was still enjoying it at that time, what are you doing with an ostrich at this time?

Men and women love, what's the big deal?

Although she had no experience at the beginning, she had heard and seen a lot, and it wasn't like that!

Working hard to build his mind, Qiu Chen finally raised his head from the bathtub, exhaled lightly, and got up slowly, but felt that his left foot was numb, and he almost sat back - he sat for too long, and his legs were numb!

Wearing a big dress to worship the ancestors, and then hurried back to change into a real red silk embroidered folded branch magnolia flower gown, a jade-colored embroidered butterfly threaded pleated long skirt, no crown on his head, only a red gold treasure phoenix tail hairpin, the ears were the same suit red gold treasure treasure ear, looked at the phoenix hairpin isolated in the hair, Qiu Chen had to pick seven more flowers to wear, and then walked out with Qin Zheng, who had already changed into an indigo silk regular clothes.

This time I went to meet Aunt Weng, and to know my siblings and close relatives at home.

Liang Guogong's lineage lasted for a hundred years from the founding of the country, and the people were prosperous, and they had already multiplied into a large clan of two or three hundred people. For example, Qin Xiuyi is the eldest son and grandson of the previous generation, and he has a younger brother and four cousins, his compatriot died of illness a few years ago, and the other four cousins are still alive now. There are more cousins of the same generation, there are twenty-four men in that generation, Qin Xiuyi is the fifth in that generation, so he was called Qin Wulang back then, and later promoted to Qin Wuye, but most people will call Liang Guogong, and Qin Wuye is rarely called.

In Qin Zheng's generation, Qin Zheng ranked sixth, and was also called Liulang when he was a child. Now that he has a knighthood, more people are called Jingbei Hou. The title of Liulang is not because Qin Xiuyi is not close to the brothers, so Qin Zheng is no longer called according to the ranking of the clan, but only according to the ranking of the Liang State Mansion.

Because he went to the shrine first, and when Qiu Chen followed Qin Zheng to the main courtyard, it was already mid-hour, and the sun was warmly rising in the air.

Walking out of Wutong Garden, there was a mother-in-law who carried two small bright sedan chairs with blue satin stalks, Qiu Chen had just gone to the ancestral hall and had already sat once, this time he did not hesitate, he took the bright sedan chair directly with Qin Zheng, and went all the way to the main courtyard.

This didn't go far before a mother-in-law ran over in a panic and blocked the way.

Qin Zheng walked in front of him in a sedan chair, and was blocked from going way, so he couldn't help frowning slightly, and opened the curtain to look out.

"What?"

The mother-in-law replied: "Back to the uncle, someone from the front palace will pass the decree, let the uncle and the eldest and young grandmother take the decree!" ”

Qin Zheng snorted: "I know the way!" ”

After stomping his feet, he got down from the bright sedan chair and came to Qiu Chen's sedan chair: "Someone from the palace has passed the decree, we have to go back and change our dresses." ”

Qiu Chen sighed helplessly, lowered his head, simply got off the sedan chair, followed Qin Zheng and hurried back to Wutong Garden, and changed into a dress and a crown according to the grade, and then hurried to the front yard in a bright sedan chair.

In the front yard of the Liang Guogong Mansion, the tables and chairs for hospitality have been cleaned up, but the lintels and beams are still lit up, and there is a festive scene everywhere.

In this piece of joy, Qin Xiuyi was sitting in the hall drinking tea and talking with the eunuchs who came to the palace to deliver the decree.

Qiu Chen followed Qin Zheng and got off the sedan chair at the door, Qin Zheng stretched out his hand to support her waist, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, it should be an edict!" ”

Qin Zheng is a super grade Jingbei Hou, after Qiu Chen married Qin Zheng, according to the system, he should give Mrs. Chao Pin Hou an order. It's just that this system is always there, and people generally have to fold their sons to ask for seals, otherwise the emperor is busy with affairs, where do you think that the courtiers are married or not, and there is no seal!

In other words, if it is really an edict, then Qiu Chen's identity will be a wife and a husband, and the third-grade lady will become Mrs. Chaopinhou. Just as Qin Zheng is the youngest meritorious conferrer in the Ming Dynasty, Qiu Chen will also become the youngest Lady Hou to be awarded the title of meritorious service.

Those who inherit the title are not counted, after all, some fathers are short-lived, and there are inheritance in the age of the son and even in infancy. That's the exception.

The family members standing at the head of the door reported inside, Qin Zheng let go of his hand at the door and stepped into the door first. Qiu Chen lowered his head and took a step behind Qin Zheng and also entered the door.

Through Qin Zheng's narration, she was very unimpressed with Qin Xiuyi's cheap father-in-law. If it weren't for this person's unkindness, how could Qin Zheng's mother be depressed and end up depressed? Qin Zheng probably wouldn't have been in search of a way out, so he began to practice martial arts hard at the age of four or five, and went to the border pass to kill the enemy at the age of fifteen......

Or, it doesn't matter to Qin Zheng, it's just that this person's coldness and treachery make her disdainful.

Of course, it is impossible for her to criticize and criticize at the moment, and she will not even let her disapproval be revealed, she put on a supple face, and followed Qin Zheng into the door.

"Father!" Qin Zheng bowed, and Qiu Chen followed behind to salute.

"That's it," Qin Xiuyi's gaze should be at the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, and she turned around Qiu Chen a little critically, then ignored the past, and motioned to Qin Zheng and said, "I've seen Manager Huang soon!" ”

Qin Zheng raised a rare smile on his face, and bowed to the middle-aged eunuch in the guest seat: "I didn't expect it to be Manager Huang who came over in person, I'm tired!" ”

"Ha Luha, Hou Ye yesterday Xiao Dengke, it is inconvenient for our family to go out of the palace to congratulate, today I heard that there is an errand to pass the decree, our family asked for a long live Lord to get it, in order to come to Hou Ye to say goodbye! Congratulations, congratulations! "Huang Fuhai is the confidant of Emperor Jingshun, the chief eunuch who is in charge of the Qianqing Palace, although he is only a eunuch, he is closest to the center of power, and his status in the court is no lower than that of the big man who enters the cabinet to worship the prime minister. It's just that when the Ming Dynasty was founded, it was a rule that eunuchs were not allowed to serve as both substantive and practical, which made the eunuchs of this dynasty not as rampant as the Ming Dynasty in history, and took over the government. It's just that no one dares to underestimate them, and these people who are not physically sound are said to be mentally unsound, and they are the most likely to hate people.

Huang Fuhai got up and returned the salute, exchanged a few polite words with Qin Zheng, and then turned to look at Qiu Chen behind Qin Zheng: "This is Yang Shuren, right?" After a long time of admiration, Yang Shuren went to the epidemic area alone to rescue the people from fire and water, and the emperor praised it! ”

"Manager Huang," Qiu Chen saw the eunuchs twice, both when he went to the Lin family to deliver the decree, one was an ordinary little steward eunuch, and the other was Han Xi, another powerful eunuch beside Emperor Jingshun.

Huang Fuhai's gaze turned on Qiu Chen, and he nodded with a smile: "This time I came out to pass the decree, and Han Xi's kid also told our family that I would congratulate the lady on his new marriage." ”

Qiu Chen originally wanted to pretend to be skilled and not talk much, but she didn't expect this old eunuch to be unrelentingly rapping, so she had to deal with it with her spirits, and said with a smile: "Thank you Grandpa Han for your kindness." There is also Mr. Lao Huang. ”

Seeing that her face was as usual, and her demeanor was generous, the smile on Huang Fuhai's face deepened, nodded secretly, and said in his heart, no wonder a little widow from a mountain village can be favored by Liang Guogong Ming Media is marrying into the door as the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, not to mention those deeds and skills that have been praised by the emperor, just this demeanor, there is no trace of the little family spirit from the countryside.

Playing Ha Luha, Huang Fuhai said with a smile: "Although it is the first time I have met Yang Shuren, our family is an old acquaintance with Grandpa Guo and Hou Ye, and our family will not be polite to the lady, and the wine that the lady gave to Han Xi last time is very delicious!" ”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Chen was very surprised. Qin Zheng and Qin Xiuyi were even more surprised.

A big eunuch like Huang Fuhai didn't want anything, and he actually asked for wine...... Among them, it doesn't matter what he wants, what matters is the attitude he wants to express, which is obviously a sign of taking the initiative to make friends!

Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "That wine is homemade, it's not worth anything, but because drinking it often can soothe your muscles and bones, maintain your heart, and see that Grandpa Han likes it, so I brought some to Grandpa Han, but I didn't expect it to get into the eyes of Mr. Huang...... This time, I brought some with me to Beijing, and after a while, I will bring two jars to Huang Gonggong to drink, and then send them to Huang Gonggong when they are transported! ”

"Okay, okay, Yang Shuren, then our wine will point to you!" Huang Fuhai laughed heartily.

Qiu Chen also smiled slightly.

"There's a lot of gossip, and the incense case is ready, let's make a decree!" After Huang Fuhai laughed, he changed his words and said with a straight face.

Qin Xiuyi and Qin Zheng hurriedly gave up their hands and took Qiu Chen to stand in front of the incense case in the center of the lobby, Qin Zheng stood behind Qin Xiuyi, and Qiu Chen stood on Qin Zheng's right side, standing side by side.

"Qin Xiuyi, Duke of Liangguo, Qin Zheng of Jingbei, and Yang Begonia, a three-grade lady, listen to the order!" Huang Fuhai stood in front of the incense case, and said with a straight chest.

Qin Xiuyi, Qin Zheng's father and son called the ministers, and Qiu Chen said that the ministers and concubines knelt down on the felt mat and listened to the order.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said...... Yeung's Begonia and Wan Huixian...... Specially awarded Mrs. Jingbei Hou, and Yang Yifang Qihou...... Gu Yiguang ...... Accumulate goodness...... Awarded the county lord of Ningguo, 500 households. Chin this. Huang Fuhai finished reciting the holy decree with his hand in his hand, and then slowly rolled up the holy decree with a smile, looked at Qin Xiuyi and said, "Congratulations to Liang Guogong for winning this beautiful woman...... Lord Ningguo, take the order and thank you! ”

Although Mrs. Jingbei Hou was enthroned in a timely manner, she was not too surprised; But since the founding of the Ming Kingdom, except for the women of the clan, the county lord has not been awarded, this time, Emperor Jingshun made an exception to confer Qiu Chen as the county lord of Ningguo, and there are five hundred food estates, which is a great glory, far more respected than the wife of the marquis. This is earned by people themselves, and it has nothing to do with who they marry.

Originally, Qiu Chen used the title of the three ladies to be conferred, not the title, and this time it was also conferred on the county lord of Ningguo, which once again showed the emperor's attitude, people attach great importance to this woman from the countryside, so, who dares to despise or neglect it?

From this, it can also explain why Huang Fuhai took the initiative to make friends, they, the great eunuchs who served by the emperor's side, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the emperor's most confidants, and they are naturally the only ones who obey the emperor's orders. How could they not take the initiative to make friends with such a solemn person?

Moreover, Huang Fuhai served by the emperor's side, far more well-informed than ordinary people, this little widow from the countryside, not only married Jingbei Hou by Ming Media, but also befriended the second master Yang Jingyong...... That relationship is no farther than Jingbei Hou!

Qiu Chen looked dazed, and only came to his senses under Huang Fuhai's reminder, and hurriedly leaned over and bowed and said long live thank you, Lord Longen, and then raised his hands above the top to receive the holy decree, Qin Xiuyi and Qin Zheng also thanked their colleagues, Qin Zheng got up, stepped forward to pick up his father, and turned back to help Qiu Chen.

The holy decree was given to Qiu Chen, so naturally he had to take it back so that he could survive. Qiu Chen smiled and gave a salute to retreat, hurried back to Wutong Garden with the girl's mother-in-law, handed over the holy decree to the Chen family for worship, and arranged for Yufeng and Qingxing to go over the dowry, take two bottles of wine and cherry wine brought over, and put them in a box. After thinking about it, she took two jars of honey refining loquat paste and two bottles of ginseng sea dragon clam essence - although she worked hard for a while, she heard Huang Fuhai gasping slightly, and his face was pale, which was obviously evidence of asthma caused by phlegm and salivation.

In addition to these, Qiu Chen didn't add anything gold or silver, and Yufeng reminded in a low voice: "Madam, do you want to add some tea money?" ”

Qiu Chen shook his head with a deep groan, and instructed Yufeng: "You take these out of the house, give them to the little father-in-law who is accompanying you, and let him explain to Manager Huang that the wine and cherry wine will be drunk for the time being, and then they will be sent to Manager Huang when they are transported; The other two flavors of medicine are to calm asthma, if you use it, please ask the doctor of the hospital to see it before using it. ”

Yufeng agreed, Qiu Chen took two more gold silk embroidered purses and handed them to her: "These two purses are five taels of gold ingots, take them out and give them to the two little fathers-in-law, and ask them to pass on the words clearly." ”

Yufeng took the purse, repeated the words, and hurriedly went to the front yard to deliver something and pass the word with Laurel Hanguang holding the box.

Huang Fuhai chatted with Qin Xiuyi and Qin Zheng's father and son, and when it was rumored that the county lord of Ningguo had sent wine out, he didn't stay anymore, got up and left.

Out of the Liang Guogong Mansion, Huang Fuhai looked at the four boxes on the table, two boxes of fruit wine are enough, the variety of fruit wine in the palace is complete, and there are fruits made from both the north and the south, although Huang Fuhai said that, it is not too rare. His eyes were only on the other two boxes.

In one box are two celadon jars, and in the other box are a glass vial the size of twenty fingers, all of which are corked and sealed with wax, and the cans are attached to the bottles.

After holding the two sticky notes and looking at them for a long time, Huang Fuhai squinted at the two little eunuchs: "They gave you something, but do you have anything else to explain?" ”

The two little eunuchs knelt down, and one of them replied with a round face: "Back to the chief grandfather, the people around Mrs. Hou sent things out, gave each of the children a purse, and asked the children to pass on the words to grandpa, and never said anything else." ”

Huang Fuhai stared at the two little eunuchs silently for a moment, staring at the two little eunuchs lying on their stomachs in the carriage trembling, but he didn't dare to say more, he suddenly turned his gaze back and landed on the two gold silk embroidered purses in front of him. Take the purse and pour out the gold bills. The pattern is delicate and bright, and when you start Huang Fuhai, you know that the road is five taels of gold...... Five taels of gold can be exchanged for fifty taels of silver...... rewarded the little eunuch so lavishly, but did not give him a big amount of money......

After a moment, a smile suddenly overflowed on Huang Fuhai's white face, and he casually threw the two purses to the two little eunuchs: "Okay, since the county lord rewarded you, you can take it." In the future, when you meet the county lord, be smarter! ”

The two little eunuchs took the purse tremblingly, looked up at Huang Fuhai's expression, and finally made sure that it was not to coax them, and the fear instantly turned into a surprise, and they kowtowed and thanked them again and again, and then they got up happily and retreated to the wheel.

The curtain of the carriage fell, and Huang Fuhai's eyes fell on the four boxes in front of him, and he reached out to caress the carved simple and simple boxes, as if he had touched a touch of temperature.

No wonder, the young marquis would ask to marry her as his wife. It's no wonder that the second master, who is so peaceful and actually the most cold, can accept her in the same way and do that for her......

Qiu Chen sent Yufeng and Qingxing away, and was busy freshening up and changing clothes.

On the second day of the wedding, there were two major events of worshipping the ancestral hall and recognizing the sect, and an extra holy decree was added in the middle, which made the already busy morning even more tense.

Seeing that the time was already early noon, Qiu Chen didn't know if he wanted to recognize the sect. Chen said beside him: "Although it is already noon, maybe the same clan and the far branch will leave, but the close branch and the close clan must still be recognized." Moreover, Mrs. always has to go to the main courtyard to meet Mrs. Li, she is a mother-in-law, and Mrs. has to serve her mother-in-law for dinner and lunch break......"

This is all a necessary homework for women in today's society after getting married, Qiu Chen couldn't screw it if he didn't want to, so he had to helplessly let the girl and mother-in-law do it, in addition to the big dress on his body, he changed into the previous set of auspicious clothes.

As soon as he cleaned up, Qin Zheng stepped in, looked at Qiu Chen, who had already changed his outfit, and said with a slight smile: "The action is quite fast!" ”

Qiu Chen sighed and said with a smile: "Because of the order, I'm afraid it will make people wait for a long time." ”

Qin Zheng said disapprerovingly: "Just wait." You are the answer, who can say what? ”

After a pause, Qin Zheng said again: "You don't have to be too aggrieved, you are now the county lord, that is, you are not the county lord, you are also the wife of my Qin Zheng Ming Media, no one can bully you." …… After confessing the sect, we will come back and let the small kitchen in the courtyard prepare the meal. In addition, we should have gone back tomorrow, but my uncle and aunt were too far away from Beijing to go back. It just so happens that you have been awarded by the county lord today, and tomorrow we will enter the palace to thank you, and it can be regarded as returning to the door! ”

The county lord conferred, although she has the title of county lord, but she is not a royal woman, and she only kneels and kowtows when she enters the palace to thank her, where is it the same as returning to the door!

She has a house in the capital, does going back there count as returning home? She hadn't seen Ah Fu Ah Man for two days, and if she didn't go back, she was really worried!

Seeing her pouting and looking reluctant, Qin Zheng couldn't help but smile, stretched out his hand to hold her out, and said in a low voice: "Don't be upset, it's indispensable to enter the palace to thank you." However, when Ming'er comes out of the palace, let's go back to your house in Fuchengmen, and then, I will take you and Afu Aman to visit the capital! ”
