Chapter 441: Before Marriage

Lin Xu also bathed and changed clothes, the two of them cleaned up, sat in the study while reading and drying their hair, the experience just now, thinking back at this time, it was inevitable that there were some mixed tastes, and it didn't take long for the news to come from outside, the Cai family's house was on fire, the fire was very strange, and many people went to save it and couldn't put it out, but the surrounding houses were not damaged at all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This fire completely destroyed the Cai family, and the Cai family was almost dead, so that the old lady of the Cai family escaped for some reason, leaving a life, but the whole person was crazy, barking more than stop when she saw anything, she couldn't speak, and her voice was a bit like a cat meow, but it was more poignant.

Fortunately, they also have a son-in-law, who was not at home when the fire broke out, survived, took the old lady over, and did not let her live on the streets, but barely lived so half-dead, for an old man who has been pampered for most of her life, I am afraid it is worse than death, if she dies, maybe she can suffer less.

Listening to these messy things in his ears, Hongchen couldn't help but sigh, and picked up Ping'an who rubbed his legs, the little guy was like a meat ball, very weighty, weighed it, Hongchen felt that it weighed at least six or seven catties.

"Tear it down, you can stew a pot of meat, and if you don't lose weight, be careful when you go out and be stewed." Hongchen nodded Ping'an's little nose, stuffed it to Luo Niang, and asked Luo Niang to change it into a small red dress.

The red wards off evil spirits also look auspicious.

Luo Niang and Xiao Yan listened on the side, unconsciously relaxed their spirits, not so tense, just now, they saw it clearly, although they didn't say it on their faces, but their hearts were hairy.

Xiao Yan sighed: "I don't know if Cai Shaoqing went to the underworld, knowing that he killed a son, and his son destroyed the Cai family again, what would he think?" ”

Cai Shaoqing used to always say that his children and grandchildren were not angry, his son and daughter were debt collectors, and none of them were as smart as him and could take the imperial examination.

His wife died early, and for the sake of the Yue family, he never married his stepfamily again, for the sake of his reputation, and there were no concubines.

Because of this, Cai Shaoqing has always wanted to climb up, and he has tried his best to climb up, always feeling that if he falls down one day, the Cai family will be completely finished.

If he knew that he still had a son, and this son was smart and filial, even if he was a little disabled, he would have been happy, but it was a pity that the viciousness and ruthlessness that year led to such a consequence.

Luo Niang sighed: "There is no regret medicine in the world, and as far as Cai Shaoqing is concerned, he knows the cause and effect, and he will not blame himself, he will not feel that it is his responsibility, I am afraid that he will curse loudly that the murderer is cruel and inhuman, and he dares to kill his father!" ”

Hongchen listened to the two girls talking lively, and also sighed: "You try to write this matter into a book, and also show it to others, if you can warn future generations, it will not be in vain for us to work hard." ”

After speaking, she didn't care whether the two girls had the heart to write or not, she leaned on the soft couch by herself, spread her hair more openly, and continued to read while drinking the teacup.

Lin Xu is a little tired, he has been too busy recently, at this time in the study of this county lord's mansion, completely relaxed, drowsy, almost distracted, by candlelight, he saw Hongchen's hair like black satin, dazzling and charming, slender and slender fingers, jade-colored, people can't help but want to hold it in the palm of their hands to play.

Ding dong.

The wind chimes rang, a little female official brought tea into the house to replace, Lin Xu came back to his senses suddenly, his ears were red, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, his master always said that he was a good person to cultivate his spirit, and he turned a blind eye to the beautiful woman in person, his two senior brothers said that he didn't know the benefits of women, and said that it was better to sit still, and if it was ugly, it was incomprehensible, and he thought so, but he never thought that one day, he would also behave badly because he met someone, and there would be some ideas that never had in the past and could not have come out.

"It's all fate!"

"What?" Hongchen picked up the teacup and took a sip, his pink lips under the lamp, as if the color was more attractive.

Lin Xu smiled slightly: "I mean, I can meet Hongchen and know each other, it's all determined by fate, so let's get married quickly." ”

Hongchen: "......" At first, she would still be red-faced, but now she can't pretend to be a little bit like this, but Senior Brother Lin will suddenly flirt with the girl, which feels quite amazing.

Maybe it was the resentment of Prince Lin that God finally accepted it, and the following days were dull and uneventful, and there were no more waves.

On the day of Long Live Lord's birthday, it should have been a warm spring, but this year's weather was abnormal, it was still so cold, and even a heavy snow fell.

God doesn't give face, long live the birthday banquet of the lord, but it is still lively, and the emperor's complexion also looks good, it seems to be fatter than last year, and his face is ruddy.

After receiving the children's birthday gifts, the emperor was in a good mood, and even the five princes, who had been treated coldly by him recently, let him soothe him with a few gentle words, which made the five princes so excited that they burst into tears.

The third prince presented a strange stone, with naturally formed patterns on it, such as longevity and Tianqi, to be auspicious, and also made the Lord of Long Live very happy.

As for the crown prince, he didn't give any conspicuous gifts, but he painted a picture for his father, painting a portrait of the Long Live Lord, wearing armor, holding a sword, majestic, and the momentum came to his face, how tall he was, and he looked similar to a real person.

The emperor smiled almost from ear to ear, so happy that he praised the prince's filial piety again and again, so that the other princes rolled their eyes, and couldn't help but say a few sour words, the dignified prince, and he is not a painter, what kind of ability can he paint!

However, Long Live Lord now looks at his son, so his son doesn't want to send a painting, even if he sends a stone casually, he will also say yes.

In addition to the gifts of these dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren, those ministers are also particular, and they give gifts according to their grades, anyway, the gifts given by the seven-grade petty officials cannot be more precious than the first-grade officials, and the treasury is empty, and they are not afraid that the long-lived lord will see that their family background is too rich.

When Hongchen was laughing at the queen, he couldn't help but ridicule a few words, the birthday gifts given by those ministers, it is estimated that they will be officials for a lifetime, and they can't afford it with their own money, the queen just laughed, "He can't count it in his heart, it's just rare to be confused." ”

This is a bit frivolous, but it is also true, if it were not for the emperor's hint, the annual longevity festival would not have almost become a tool for hundreds of officials to offer treasures and flattery. It is estimated that the emperor just wants to collect money by celebrating his birthday.

After a whole birthday banquet, a whole day, I would definitely retire early after changing the usual long live, but this time I was in good spirits from beginning to end.

The civil and military officials were quite pleased, and felt that the body of the saint was really good, and the prince's clan was also happy to see it, as for whether it was really happy or falsely happy, it was unknown.

Hongchen was not far away that day, and he drank a glass of wine with the emperor with the queen's mother, and also saw his face, but he didn't feel a little worried, long live it was too fast!

She only knows the surface of medical science, and she doesn't have much in-depth understanding, but she also knows that if something is abnormal, it is a demon. This is more like a situation like a return to the light, even if it is not, I am afraid that it is also the medicine of the tiger and wolf, it is said that there are countless doctors around the long live master, and the physical care is even more careful, so he should not make such a mistake.

In fact, those royal relatives only thought that Banzai was in good health, and they were much happier, but the imperial doctor was not stupid, nor was Hongchen a bright eye, and several old imperial doctors also muttered in their hearts, not daring to talk nonsense to others, nor daring to show it indiscriminately, but they had a close relationship with Hongchen, and they also knew the personality of the county lord's mother, so they couldn't help but sigh worriedly in front of her: "The situation of the Lord is not quite right, but we are only shallow in our studies, and we can't find anything wrong, There is nothing too special, this, this, hey, I can only look forward to the long live Lord Hongfu Qitian. ”

The imperial physician knew in his heart that the medicine they gave that person was ten times stronger, and it should not have the same effect as it is now, so this time the emperor felt in good health, his spirit was doubled, and he was happy in his heart.

"I'm old, I can't serve my masters for a few years, and I want to beg for bones this year and go back to my hometown to retire." Imperial Physician Huang has always been modest, and he is quite low-key and peaceful in his daily life, but he has been in the palace for more than 30 years, his eyes are bright, his brain is clear, and he is even more sensitive to danger.

The other imperial doctors were not as anxious as Huang Imperial Doctor, and a few of them thought that their medical skills were good, and frowned and said: "Don't think about it, looking at the pulse of the Long Live Lord is quite peaceful, it should be fine, let's find out if his old man has taken any supplements, the effect is so good." ”

After a few words of gossip with the imperial doctors, Hongchen didn't tell the queen when he turned around, no one was stupid enough to really say this kind of thing, but at this time last year in his last life, Long Live Lord died violently, and now he is still living like this, which is already a good thing.

As for the so-called rebel armies outside, not to mention the stopping, at least on the surface, they are not the opponents of the imperial court, they can only be regarded as minor troubles, and the capital is even more peaceful.

Time passes slowly, spring passes through the summer solstice, and autumn comes.

The lights were lit up all night in the county lord's mansion.

Luo Niang and Xiao Yan took the female officials and instructed a few embroidery girls to classify the freshly embroidered clothes, quilt covers, and pillow scarves, put them in the box, tie red ropes, paste red flowers, and put a big red satin cover on the cover.

Xue Shenzhen's two high-ranking apprentices carefully looked at the auspicious clothes on the screen, and their expressions were extremely serious.

"I also have to tighten my waist, the county lord has lost a little weight in the past two days."

"Narrow sleeves are not good, the county lord is still suitable for large wide sleeves."

This side is busy, and there are countless people coming in and out of the study, Zhuangzi from all over the country, the steward of the workshop, and the shopkeeper of the shop, all of them are lining up to meet them, and all the subordinates have been so busy recently that they can't wait to break one day into two days to use, obviously they have been busy since a long time ago, but as the wedding date of the county lord is getting closer and closer, they are even busier.

The county lord is also busy, although an unmarried couple doesn't care about the rules that are not suitable for meeting before marriage, but they haven't met for more than a month, and more often they have to rely on Hongyan to pass on the book, and even the opportunity to express their feelings is rare, Hongchen's letter can write two words less, if it weren't for the tacit understanding between the two, I'm afraid that just looking at this concise letter to the extreme, you have to misunderstand that the other party is very impatient with yourself.

Lin Xu was busy, and he also smiled bitterly, and occasionally joked with the prince, saying that in the future, he could let Hongchen teach those ministers to write excerpts, which guaranteed that the monarch could read the excerpts much easier, maybe not so busy, and he could live for a few more years.

The wedding date is finally coming, and the Ministry of Rites has sent someone over to explain the process a little.

After all, the county lord is not a princess, even if the emperor and queen attach great importance to it, it will not be too complicated, but he is worried that he will be too tired on the wedding day, Hongchen will not agree to the queen to marry in the palace by herself, or be free in the county lord's mansion.

Even if Hongchen is as low-key as possible, this marriage is still rumored, and a county lord of Rong'an is naturally nothing, but it is said that the prince took a leave of absence as early as a month ago, and wanted to marry the county lord as his mother's family on Hongchen's wedding day.

The emperor and the queen didn't stop it, the queen just stopped, almost most of the people in the capital knew that she loved the lord of Rong'an, but the long-lived lord was so conniving, so that people were vigilant, that was the prince of the dynasty, the future emperor, every move was not just his own business, today he married the lord of Rong'an as his mother's family, that is to raise the status of the lord of Rong'an I don't know how much.

The ministers of the court and the central government talked about this, and there were many exhortations from the imperial envoy, the emperor didn't say anything, but the excerpts were left in the middle and not sent, as for the prince, he didn't compete with the ministers, and when he was talked about in front of him, he just said gently: "When the county lord of Rong'an rescued the lonely in the fire and water, and taught the lonely for many years, there was no prince without the county lord, she was a lonely's relative, if the lonely could not fulfill her filial piety and send her to marry, wouldn't it be against the way of the saint." ”

Yes, even filial piety has been said, and even the way of the saint is on his lips, and the ministers can only shut up honestly.

In fact, it's nothing if you want to open some, after all, the lord of Rong'an is just a woman, but she is favored by some people, and it can't affect the overall situation in the end, so why bother with the prince for this.

Now the prince's position is very stable, even if he is younger, it is nothing, he is mature and steady, and he is capable, during the emperor's illness, he has begun to regent, and he is no longer the little prince who can only serve as a filial son in the Qinzheng Palace, or the two older princes want to fight again, and the prince still has a great advantage in the end.

At this time, even if you are not in a hurry to stand in line, it is time to consider the way back, where is the energy to make a fuss because of a county lord's wedding.

The minister of the DPRK and the central government was not stupid, he looked at the wind direction above, and calmed down, and Hongchen was able to prepare for marriage quietly without being disturbed. (To be continued.) )
