Chapter 82: On the Eve of Marriage

Knowing the news of Shen Fang's marriage, Jin Xiu rushed back from the capital in advance as soon as he received the news. He came back this time, firstly, to help Master Gao take care of Shen Fang's marriage, but on the other hand, he had not seen his wife for many days, and it was even more important to take a look at his son whom he had never met. He came home just in time, just in time for the wedding the next day. Seeing his eldest son, who had not been seen for many days, Master Gao was very happy. asked Bai Yingtian about their situation in Beijing again, and knew that Bai Yingtian was indeed very brilliant in Beijing. I can't help but be happy and regretful. Looking at his son with a dignified face, Master Gao couldn't help but ask, "Do you really plan to study next to the old man surnamed Chen in Guozijian for another three years?" When it comes to learning, you are no worse than Ying Tian. Otherwise, you should come back and study with me, and you may not be able to get another Tanhua! Is it that the person surnamed Chen has hidden his secrets from you, so you have been delaying participating in the big competition? Gao Jinxiu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Daddy is in a hurry?" Isn't my husband still recommended by you? Why are you disgusted with it now? You can rest assured that Mr. Chen taught very well. Originally, this year, Enko, he also planned to let me participate. It was only later that I heard about your high fate, so I was told to study for another year, so that I didn't want to do too well in the exam all at once and steal the limelight from your students. When Master Gao heard this, he couldn't help but blow his beard and glare: "What? Don't dare to compare with me, just say it directly, what do you mean by being afraid of stealing my limelight? If I had known, I wouldn't let you out. "That Mr. Chen was met by Mr. Gao when he was studying in the capital, and his knowledge and talent are very outstanding. However, because both of them were excellent back then, they were both a little juvenile. So the two have been pinning their heads on each other, a bit like the king not seeing the king. In fact, in selfishness, the two people should still admire each other's knowledge and character. Otherwise, Master Gao would not have deliberately entrusted his son to the other party. And Mr. Chen will not immediately agree. You must know that this Mr. Chen has a great reputation in the capital, and the requirements for accepting disciples are very harsh. Regardless of whether it is high or low, only what he likes in person will be included in the door. He will take Jin Xiu. First, Jin Xiu is good enough, and second, there is actually the factor of Master Gao. It's just that the two people never accept each other. Seeing that his father was serious, Gao Jinxiu hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm talking to you." Mr. Chen was now ordered to go in and out of the East Palace frequently to give lectures to the crown prince. He said that he had to learn from each other in order to make progress, so he recommended his son and Wei Xiangye's grandson to accompany the prince. Therefore, my son can no longer participate in the scientific examination this year in order to avoid suspicion. Master Gao was stunned when he heard this, and then heard that he actually wanted to accompany the prince. And together with Wei Xiangye's grandson, he couldn't help but get nervous again. cautiously explained: "Accompanying the prince is not a casual thing. You have always been a steady person, you should know the severity, so I won't say more. It's just that the Wei family's heart has always been higher than the sky, so you have to be careful. Jin Xiu nodded and said, "The child can save it." That Wei Qing is a relatively outstanding talent of the third generation of the Wei family, and he is very good at learning, but he is a little arrogant. He was by the prince's side before, and he was quite proud. Now that Concubine Wei has been abolished, she is a lot depressed. ”

Hearing that Concubine Wei was abolished, Master Gao frowned, and then said: "The queen collapsed, Concubine Wei was abolished, I don't know if there is any connection between the two." If Zheng Wei's two families join forces, the prince will be worry-free because of this. Jin Xiu nodded and said, "It is said that Concubine Wei was deposed because of great disrespect to the queen. The specifics are not known, but they should be related. Master Gao nodded and said, "If that's the case, that's a good thing." It's just that the Zheng family has now resumed the throne, and the daughter of the Zheng family has married Dongmeng again. I'm afraid that Pingxihou won't just give up. You are by the prince's side, and your younger brother Jinmin is under the prince's command again, and both of you are involved in the East Palace. But be even more careful. The safety of the crown prince is related to the stability of the court situation, and now is an extraordinary period, you must pay attention! Jin Xiu nodded again and again after hearing this, and said, "My husband also instructed me to do the same." He said that the prince was wise and wise, and he would definitely be a hero in the future. Therefore, let us accompany him to study. It's just that since you are reading, you only talk about books, and don't talk about the government in vain, so as not to cause trouble. Master Gao sighed when he heard this, and said: "This Chen Jiaxiang, no wonder he has been staying in the capital so steadily for so many years, and it turns out that his knowledge is still higher than mine." Okay, you just listen to your husband, don't talk about the government. Let's avoid the trouble. Jin Xiu nodded in response. For a while, the father and son talked about the details of Shen Fang's wedding, and when the sky was getting dark, the two agreed on a plan.

Seeing Jin Xiu's familiar figure, Kang's only felt that his nose was sour, and after being separated for so long, she deeply understood the true meaning of the sentence: "People are haggard for Yi, the curtain is swept by the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers". She was the only daughter in the family, and she never suffered much. This time, I was originally accompanying Jin Xiu to visit her mother, but I thought that I would return to Beijing in a few days. Who knew that he would have been living here for almost a year. And during this year, she also went through the two most important stages of her life, pregnancy and childbirth. And during her pregnancy, Jin Xiu stayed by her side except for the first few days, and then she was never around. When she gave birth to a child, although she was full of fear and helplessness, she most wanted to see Jin Xiu, but she still endured her longing and dependence, and wrote a letter to reject Jin Xiu's good intentions to return to her hometown. Although Hu and Shen Fang have always cared for her, their care, in the final analysis, is not as good as Jin Xiu's company. At this moment, looking at Jin Xiu, who was tall and jade, with a gentle face, she couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes.

Jin Xiu smiled and took out the silk handkerchief he was carrying, gently wiped away the tears on her face, and whispered, "Don't cry!" Everybody's going to laugh at you. Kang angrily snatched the handkerchief in his hand and said, "I want to cry!" Look at who of them dares to laugh at me! Maybe you're laughing at me, aren't you? Jin Xiu caressed her sideburns lovingly, and said softly: "Talking stupid things again, how could I laugh at you?" I know that you have suffered by not being by your side for so long! In fact, I was also very worried about you having a baby before. It wasn't until I received a letter of safety from home that I was relieved. At that time, I really couldn't leave. During this time, you have to take care of the children and help your mother take care of the housework, which is really hard. By the way, where is the baby? I haven't seen a child yet! It's called Yue'er, right? Hearing him mention the child, Kang's attention was diverted and found that his son, who had been staying by his side, did not know when he was taken away.

The people who served in the house avoided Jin Xiu when he entered the door. At this time, I heard Kang's call, so I hurriedly came in. Hearing that Jin Xiu was going to see his son, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and the girl Jinxiu who was the leader couldn't help but smile and said, "Speaking of which, everyone has forgotten, the uncle hasn't seen the little master yet!" Madame instructed us before. Let the little master send her there, saying that she should not let him disturb the reunion between the uncle and the grandmother. We just sent it over. Kang's face turned red after hearing this, and he said coquettishly: "You talk a lot, why don't you go and bring Yue'er back!" ”

Her voice just fell. I heard Shen Fang's beautiful laughter: "You don't have to pick it up." Mother just remembered that the eldest brother hadn't seen Yue'er yet, so I was responsible for sending it over. Looking at the little baby like a snow ball in Shen Fang's arms, Jin Xiu only felt that his heart was about to turn into a puddle of water. Is this my son? He happily walked over and reached out to hug him. was stopped by Shen Fang, "Brother, don't worry. Yue'er already has some recognition. You tease him with a rattle a few times, and he'll want you to hug him. Jin Xiu looked at the little guy who looked at him blankly with a little disbelief, and said, "So small, you actually recognize people?" Shen Fang nodded and said, "You see, he already wants a sister-in-law." Sure enough, I saw the little guy lying on Shen Fang's shoulder, his face facing Kang's, and his mouth staggering, obviously recognizing his mother and asking his mother to hug him. Kang took the child from Shen Fang. smiled and kissed the baby's face, and said, "A little big, it's ghostly." Except for milk, I refuse to eat anything that has no sweet taste. I don't drink a sip of water. When I got to this house, except for the nurse, I was the only one. I'm tired and I'm about to die of exhaustion. It's rare that Fang Mei still likes him so much and often takes him to play. Shen Fang smiled: "My little nephew is so cute, of course I want to hug him more." ”

While the two were talking, Jin Xiu had already asked the girl to tease him with the baby's favorite toys. First the rattle, then the rattle. Jin Xiu tried his best to tease him several times, but he refused to let Jin Xiu hug him. Giggling while playing, when Jin Xiu reached out to hug him, he immediately leaned on Kang's shoulder. The appearance of the little scoundrel amused the three of them. In the end, Jin Xiu really couldn't help it. forcibly hugged him from Kang's hands and hugged him for a while to get over his father's addiction. But before the little one could cry, he returned it. Kang held the child in his arms, thinking that this was the first time their father and son met, and couldn't help but feel pity and love for the little guy in his arms. Said to Jin Xiu: "You are not familiar with it now, just wait for a long time." Jin Xiu nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry." I'm not going to bother with him. He saw that the days of my fear were ahead! It's not time to take care of him yet. I can't hurt him. Kang kissed his son's little face and said, "Well, I knew you would definitely like him." Jin Xiu looked at Kang and his son with a smile, nodded but stopped talking.

Shen Fang looked at the affectionate appearance of the two of them from the side, and couldn't help but be deeply envious, and couldn't bear to disturb their reunion again. Then he said: "Brother and sister-in-law, it's not early, you should rest early." I'll go back first. Kang came back to his senses and said to Shen Fang: "Little sister, you are going to get married tomorrow, so go and rest early!" Tomorrow is the most tiring day, you must have a good rest tonight, so that tomorrow will be a bride to look good. Remember, after you go back to cleanse your face, be sure to apply the hibiscus cream I gave you. Shen Fang nodded in response, and went back with the red lotus.

"The relationship between the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother is really good!" Walking on the road, Honglian couldn't help but sigh. Shen Fang nodded and remained silent. The sky gradually darkened, and the lights in the courtyard gradually turned on, looking at the courtyard where the lights were shining to show joy, Shen Fang was a little dazed. If so, in the future, I and that person can also be like my eldest brother and sister-in-law, raise our eyebrows, and love each other, how good! Preferably, they can also have a lively and lovely child like Yue'er. Thinking of the child, Shen Fang couldn't help but be a little worried, her body has always been weak, and her menstrual affairs are often not accurate, maybe it will be really difficult for her heirs. If there is no concubine for three years, Great Xia is allowed to take concubines. Thinking of taking a concubine, looking at the ignorant red lotus smiling beside him, and thinking of the previous arrangement of the Hu family, Shen Fang suddenly felt a little stuffy in his chest.

Sensing Shen Fang's depressed mood, Honglian asked her thoughtfully, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Is there something wrong with it? Shen Fang shook her head and said, "I'm tired and want to rest early." Because tomorrow is the big day of marriage, Honglian did not doubt him, so she hurriedly helped her and said, "Then let's go back quickly!" I've prepared the things for the face in the morning, and the young lady just needs to lie down and fall asleep. ”

The two quickly returned to Linglong Courtyard, and Honglian quickly arranged a bed for Shenfang, and after Shenfang washed up, Honglian helped her dress her face and lay down gently. But she didn't feel sleepy, just closed her eyes and rested. Just as he was hazy and sleeping, he suddenly heard a low voice: "I ask the Bodhisattva of great mercy to bless Miss with peace and success after marriage, and she will be harmonious with her aunt, and she will grow old." She got up from the bed gently, but saw Honglian kneeling at the door of the room, praying silently. Under the silver moonlight, the girl's pious appearance is even more moving. "Red Lotus," she whispered. Honglian turned around and saw Shen Fang, a trace of panic flashed on her face, and then she calmly said to Shen Fang: "Miss, I went to the temple a few days ago to offer incense, please Bodhisattva bless you with all the best things after marriage." Tomorrow you're getting married. Now, I will put incense on the Bodhisattva and ask him not to forget to bless Miss. Shen Fang was moved and embarrassed when she heard this. She hugged the red lotus and said, "Good red lotus, thank you!" If you are so sincere, the Bodhisattva will definitely bless me! Honglian was a little embarrassed, but nodded firmly: "Miss, the Bodhisattva will definitely bless you!" Miss, your person is so good, and your aunt will definitely be as good as the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother in the future! Shen Fang nodded and said, "Well, I think so too!" Red Lotus, you can sleep with me in the house! Let's talk about conversations together! Honglian chatted with Shen Fang for a long time, and it was only in the middle of the moon that the two of them fell asleep from exhaustion. However, this sleep was the most fragrant sleep in the period of time before Shen Fang got married. (To be continued.) )
