Zhao Wei's wedding ended happily, and the guests and hosts were happy.

After the wedding banquet, the newlyweds went to their sweet wedding night, Zhang, who was tired all night because of entertaining guests, happily lay down on the bed to rest, but Zhao Xiu, who had been idle for most of the night, still had finishing work to do.

Items such as the wedding shed are collected during the day the next day, and what needs to be done overnight is to wash the dishes and dispose of the garbage and kitchen waste, so as not to stink overnight. By the time Zhao Xiu returned to the room to wash and rest, it was the fourth watch, and the whole person was tired and sleepy, but his brain was still excited.

Gao Zhen also came to the banquet tonight, but unfortunately she was in the garden, but he was in the outer courtyard, and the two couldn't see each other. However, she planned to tell him what Miss Zheng said as soon as possible, so she specially asked the mother-in-law at home to whisper to him, asking him to come over again tomorrow, and it was better to avoid people.

But then again, even if you don't avoid people, what does it matter? They are now an unmarried couple, married by the royal gift, and have a grandmother and brother at home. Gao Zhen went to Jiannanhou Mansion a few more times, what should he not do? If outsiders want to gossip, let them go. Zhao Xiu really doesn't like this custom of men and women meeting as little as possible before marriage.

Originally, when encountering such a thing as Miss Hu, if it was in normal times, Zhao Xiu could discuss with his brother Zhao Wei first, and let Zhao Wei go to see King Guangping and Gao Zhen. But he is now newly married Yan'er, even if she knows that the matter is important, she is embarrassed to disturb, so as not to make her sister-in-law complain. Gao Zhen has said more than once that if she has something to do with him, she can ask someone to give a message to the ink pool or the pen mountain. Zhao Xiu was just worried that this kind of thing was conveyed purely in the form of letters. It is easy to make mistakes in the middle, and there is also a danger of leakage, so it is better to tell it face-to-face. Case. Then it's better to take advantage of Gao Zhen's arrival at home to drink the wedding wine and hand him a message directly.

If it weren't for the night of the wedding banquet, the family came and went, there were many ears and eyes, Gao Zhen probably drank a lot of wine, I don't know if he was sober, Zhao Xiu really wanted to say it before he left.

Zhao Xiu thought about it all the time, and after dawn, Gao Zhen arrived at home. She fell asleep in a daze. I don't know if it's because she was too tired, so she slept until daylight. She sat up from the bed abruptly, called out loudly, and asked the girls, "What time is it?" No, what time is it? ”

Bihan and Liu Lu hurriedly set up the tent for her. The former replied: "There is still half an hour to go until the second quarter of the first month (half past nine in the morning)." Then he quickly added: "The first moment of the world has arrived." I'm talking to the old lady. The latter silently brought warm face wash.

Zhao Xiu couldn't help but scream, she actually overslept! Hurriedly got up to freshen up, complaining to Bihan and Liulu: "You should have called me earlier." ”

Liu Lu didn't know why, so he only smiled and said, "Who knew that the prince would come over today?" The old lady got up late this morning, and the marquis and his wife haven't gotten up yet. It was the old lady who said that the girl had worked hard last night, so she would sleep a little more today. Everyone was taken aback when the prince came, and the old lady wanted to send someone to call the girl. But the prince stopped him and said that he would let the girl rest for a while. He was very idle, and it didn't hurt to wait for half a day. However, the old lady was worried that if she really asked the prince to wait for half a day, she would make people laugh at the laziness of the girl, so she ordered her to come down, and if the girl was not awake at the second quarter of the first month, let us wake up the girl. ”

While speaking, Zhao Xiu had quickly finished washing up and sat in front of the dresser to comb his hair. She instructed Bihan to comb a simple hairstyle, although she wants to see Gao Zhen today, she doesn't need to go out, and it is enough to dress up at home. She and Gao Zhen's childhood sweethearts, and they have lived on the same ship more than once, and they are very familiar with each other's plain makeup, but they don't need to dress up to dare to see him, they just need to dress neatly.

Bihan combed Zhao Xiu with a simple fallen horse bun, two white hostas diagonally, and then pinned two purple magnolias that were picked from the garden this morning behind the bun. Zhao Xiu changed into a light yellow cardigan and a lilac-colored pleated skirt, hurriedly drank a few sips of hot Jianlian red date soup, and went to Zhang's courtyard gracefully.

At this time, it happened to be the third quarter of the first month, and Gao Zhen was called a guest and asked people to wait for half an hour, which didn't seem to be too much.

Gao Zhen didn't think it was too much at all, he was admiring his fiancée's dress, fresh and graceful and cute, especially the slender waist, just like a wicker in spring. He only complained that there were still a few months left in the marriage, otherwise he really wanted to bend his arms and hug him. It doesn't matter if you're not married, it's okay if you're not in front of Zhang's family, if it's just him and Zhao Xiu, you can always taste a bite of tender tofu, right? It's a pity that the conditions are not there, so he can only look at his "waist" and sigh.

Zhao Xiu only glanced at him, and he could guess where he was staring at him, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he hurriedly lowered his head to salute, and went directly to his grandmother after the salute, not wanting to give him a chance to show his true thoughts. In front of my grandmother, it's too shameful!

Zhang was in a good mood, with a smile on his face all the time, and joked to his granddaughter: "Lazy girl, if it weren't for the son of the world, how long would you sleep?" If your brother and sister-in-law come to bow and kowtow after a while, and you don't get up yet, you will be ashamed to go to your sister-in-law. ”

Zhao Xiu could only laugh dryly.

Fortunately, the Zhang family also knew that it was in front of Gao Zhen, so he would not lose his granddaughter's face too much, and quickly changed the topic: "The prince is really hearty, your brother mentioned to him yesterday, I haven't slept well recently, so the prince sent me the Heavenly King Heart Replenishing Pill early in the morning." I also asked Imperial Doctor Jiang to come to check the pulse in the past, saying that I should take the Heavenly King Heart Tonifying Pill for this symptom. Recently, the family has been busy with your brother's marriage, and I can't take care of it for a while, thinking that I will be busy for a while, so I asked someone to prepare a few pills, but I didn't expect the prince to send it to me. ”

Zhao Xiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw Gao Zhen's eyes, and immediately understood, sending medicine was just an excuse for Gao Zhen to come to the door, and I thought about it, Zhao Wei had nothing to say about his grandmother's bad sleep at his wedding banquet? Zhang's can't sleep well for a while, not so much because he has a physical problem, but because he is too excited. It had been a long time since Imperial Doctor Jiang came to the door, and at that time he was still in the Guangping Palace's mansion as the special doctor of the Guangping King. He did mention that the Heavenly King Heart Replenishing Pill was effective for the Zhang family, and the Zhang family had been eating it for a while, and after eating it, he didn't match it anymore. It doesn't hurt to take it now, anyway, there is not much medicine sent by Gao Zhen. When Zhao Wei came to kowtow, Zhang asked. Zhao Weiruo denied it, Gao Zhen can still say that he drank too much last night and doesn't remember.

Zhao Xiu couldn't hold back a smile, smiled and got up and saluted Gao Zhen: "Thank you Shizi for sending the medicine, you have helped us a lot." ”

Gao Zhen looked at her with a smile and returned a salute: "Sister Zhao doesn't have to be polite, your grandmother is also my elder." It should be more filial. ”

Zhao Xiu's face flushed slightly, lowered his eyes, bit his lip and didn't speak. Gao Zhen stared at her.

Zhang looked at the two children. In an instant, he was blessed to his heart, and said, "You young people, you don't even have the patience to wait a few more months. ”

When he said this, Gao Zhen and Zhao Xiu both blushed. Gao Zhen was thick-skinned and said to Zhang with a smile: "Old lady." It occurred to me that there was something to do. I said goodbye first, I wonder if I can let Sister Zhao send me? ”

Can Zhang still say no? I can only tell my granddaughter: "You can go and send off the son, come back here after the delivery, and your brother and sister-in-law should come over in a while." That's what it means to remind her not to "give" for too long.

Zhao Xiu had a big red face and agreed dryly.

When he got out of the house, Zhao Xiu couldn't help but complain about Gao Zhen: "Why did you say to your grandmother so bluntly, you want me to send you?" Even if you don't say it, she'll ask me to deliver it. ”

Gao Zhen smiled: "Isn't this just in case? The elders always say. We're getting married, don't see each other all the time. What if she thinks I'm too familiar with your family and sends someone to see me off? The purpose of my coming here is to whisper a few words to you, and if I can't fulfill my wish, it will not be in vain. ”

Zhao Xiu was embarrassed to hear it, but she also wanted to get along with Gao Zhen in private, so she complained symbolically this time. She looked left and right, and saw that the girls in her grandmother's yard were hiding far away very knowingly, so she immediately gave Gao Zhen a look and took him to the small garden in the front yard.

It is said to be a small garden, but it is actually a corner of the rest area composed of a group of lake stones, flowers, vine pergolas, stone tables and chairs. There were sparse wisteria branches hanging on the vine trellises, vaguely obscuring the scene of the stone table and stone chairs, and Zhao Xiu pulled Gao Zhen here to speak. With the back to the lake and no one under the verandahs on both sides, it is a quiet place.

Zhao Xiu told Gao Zhen in detail about the encounter with Miss Zheng last night, and Miss Zheng's request for Miss Hu was not omitted, and he said: "I don't know whether this matter is true or not, I just think that if the King of Jinyang really takes the commander of the Jingxi battalion, the prince and you must not know." If he wants to marry this marriage, he naturally has his plans, and if he intends to follow King Ying and use the threat of force to achieve his goals, you must be prepared to deal with it. ”

Gao Zhen frowned: "I never thought that General Hu would have such thoughts......"

Zhao Xiu also felt that General Hu's brain was a little problematic: "He has already become the commander of the camp in western Beijing, even if he has been in the northwest for many years, now that the emperor can transfer him back to Beijing, it is obviously to reuse his meaning, what is he not satisfied with?" What is the official position of the commander of the Jingxi battalion? ”

The commander of the Jingxi battalion is further up, and of course there are many official positions, and there are still many people who can press on General Hu's head. But being able to be the commander of a battalion or the Beijing camp shows the emperor's trust and optimism about General Hu. Even if he can only stay in his current position for a while, sooner or later he will be promoted. General Hu actually gave up the steady path and didn't take it, and had to take the risk of being a dragon hero, which string was wrong in his mind?

Gao Zhen guessed: "Could it be that I saw that several of you families made a comeback because of their meritorious service to the dragon, so I was envious in my heart and wanted to learn a lesson?" Why bother? Could it be that only from the dragon heroes can be expected to be used? Does he rarely care about the news in Beijing on weekdays? Otherwise, I wouldn't know what happened to you and me. ”

Zhao Xiu felt the same way: "After he returned to Beijing, it seemed that except for a few relatives and friends, he rarely socialized with others. I listened to Miss Zheng's story, and his temperament seemed to be a bit arbitrary and stubborn, and he couldn't listen to the persuasion of others. Of course, King Jinyang's slander also has a lot to do with it, but there are some things that you and I can't tell the truth to the outside world. ”

Gao Zhen said disapprehantly: "King Jinyang's words are not all lies, the difference is only what outsiders think." However, the emperor is far from being able to hold on, and the king of Jinyang uses this kind of words to deceive people, obviously to use the soldiers in the hands of General Hu to do things that are not subordinate. General Hu thought that he didn't have to take big risks, but in fact he was seeking skin with the tiger. ”

Zhao Xiu asked him, "What should we do?" ”

Gao Zhen thought for a while: "This matter must be stopped, the easiest way is to transfer General Hu to another place, so that he will lose the power of the 50,000 soldiers." But this is just a palliative way to cure the root cause, unless we can find a military general who does not have a daughter of the right age to replace General Hu's position, otherwise the king of Jinyang can also hire another concubine. Even if we think of a concubine in the palace and ask him to be appointed as a concubine, we can't stop him from allowing a side concubine to go out, and even use a delaying strategy, promising to set up a certain daughter as the queen after the matter is completed, the marriage in the palace will be in vain, and it is useless to transfer General Hu away. "Generals with military power in their hands, many of them have daughters under their knees, and it doesn't matter if they are older or younger, as long as they are not married, they may be targeted by the King of Jinyang, and their talent is secondary.

Zhao Xiuyuan didn't expect this, and felt that what Gao Zhen said made sense, so he asked: "Then what is the way to treat the symptoms and the root cause?" (To be continued......)
