(Insect Catch)

Liu Tan and Xia Jiangmin's wedding was also in August, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the day before Yu Shu set off to go to the princess's tomb, it was really eventful.

The foundation of the Xia Jiang family is in the south, and the guests of the woman's family on the wedding day are not many, but it is not nothing, there are several old ministers in the capital who served in the south in the early years, and for the sake of the face of the Xia Jiang family, they either sent their eldest son to congratulate them, or prepared a generous gift and sent them to the Jingwang Mansion.

Although Yu Shu received an invitation from Liu Tan, as a woman's guest, she went to the Xiajiang Annex early in the morning, met her before Xia Jiangmin put on her wedding dress, and then followed the team to the palace.

This day was very lively, Yu Shu saw what is called ten miles of red makeup, don't look at the Xia Jiang family in the capital, but it is one of the best rich and noble families in the south, the century-old Yi Xue family, accumulated countless gold and silver treasures, and effortlessly saved one hundred and sixty dowries for the young lady who married into the royal family, each of which was heavy and required four young and strong men to move.

Some people think of the scene when Ning Wangfu married the newlyweds, and they can't help but compare, Princess Ning is the pearl of Cui Zheng, a scholar of Yingwudian University, a typical scholarly family, but the Xiajiang family has an old ancestor of Yizi who is still a princess, and she is a first-class famous family in the eyes of Yike in the world.

These two marriages were personally chosen by Emperor Zhaoqing, and it is difficult for people to comment on whether he favors Liu Tan more or attaches more importance to Liu Hao.

After the newlyweds' visit, the banquet begins. Liu Tan sent Xia Jiangmin to the new house, and hurried back to the front to entertain the guests, and after being persuaded to drink a few glasses of wine, his face was full of red, and everyone with long eyes could see that he was quite satisfied with this marriage.

The new princess stayed in the wedding room, and the female guests said auspicious words and left one by one, leaving only Yu Shu as a companion after reaching the closest.

"Ah Shu, are you still there?" Xia Jiangmin wore a bright red wedding dress and sat on the edge of the bed. Dragon and phoenix hijab pavement. has to wait until the groom comes to unveil it, from the frolic just now to the quiet now, which makes her feel bored.

"Well, I didn't go." Yu Shu was standing in front of the window and observing the pair of red candles painted with gold drawings. When I turned around, I saw Xia Jiangmin sitting there with his head covered. Bai Shengsheng's small hands were on his knees, and people could see through her uneasiness at a glance.

Yu Shu walked over and said to the two maids who were guarding the bed: "Go get some hot water to wipe your princess's hands and feet." Go to the sweat. ”

The two of them looked at me, I looked at it, stood still and didn't move, one of them was petite, and his eyebrows were very beautiful and he looked up and replied: "The prince ordered us to guard the new princess, and we didn't dare to move without permission." ”

Yu Shu saw that the two were not from the house that Xia Jiang's family had married, so he told her not to move for a while.

"Let you go, go quickly, what are you going to do." The prince asked you to guard and take care of me, not to let you watch the prisoners. Xia Jiangmin let out a displeasure.

"Slaves don't dare." The two confessed in panic, walked out numbly, passed the screen, did not forget to close the door, ordered the maid outside the door, and walked away, before they dared to whisper:

"What, I just entered the mansion, and I put up the princess's shelf."

"Shhhh

"How can I—"

"Alas, I know that you are wronged, we are all allocated by the palace to serve the prince, the best end is to make a bed for the prince, and you must be docile in front of the princess, don't get in the way of her eyes, you have been in the palace for many years, why don't you even have this little heart."

The two of them whispered to each other privately, and Xia Jiangmin, who was anxiously waiting for the candle night in the cave room, didn't know that one of the two maids who had just gone out of the house would become her nightmare in the future.

There was no idle eyes and ears in the new house, Xia Jiangmin couldn't see Yu Shu, so he wanted to lift the Xipa on his head, but Yu Shu quickly stopped him.

"Don't move, wait for the groom to come back and lift it again, and leave a good omen."

Saying that, Yu Shu sat on the embroidery pier next to the bed, took Xia Jiangmin's sweaty little hand, and said with a joke: "I see that your hands and feet are cold, are you nervous or anxious?" ”

Xia Jiangmin held her dry and slender palm, and couldn't help but feel steady in her heart, so she stared at Yu Shu's straight boots from the gap under Xipa, and said stiffly:

"There will always be a day when you get married."

Yu Shu teased her for a few words, and said seriously: "I have an important matter and I have to leave Beijing for two days, and I have to leave later, and I can't go to the front to drink your wedding wine." On your wedding day, I rejoice for you, and there are some things that I shouldn't say, you just let me talk too much. ”

"There's nothing more we both can't say." Xia Jiangmin said hurriedly.

Yu Shu smiled slightly, although she didn't see it, "From now on, you will be the mistress of Jingwangfu, I look at Liu Tan, who is full of ambition, and will not be willing to be an idle prince, no one can say what will happen in the future, I can only remind you that to be a husband and wife with Liu Tan, it is best not to have rebellious things, the most important thing is not to have a battle of will, and it is best not to be competitive." ”

Xia Jiangmin listened to Yu Shu's three "better not", and her originally uneasy heart rose again, before getting married, her father talked to her alone, and told her to be submissive to King Ning, not to be temperamental, and vaguely told her that King Jing may have great achievements in the future, but it is not as profound as Yu Shu said.

Yu Shu didn't see her respond, only when she was frightened by herself, she wanted to say a few words to comfort and comfort her, but she was worried that she would not listen to her advice and suffer in the future.

Regarding Liu Tan, what Yu Shu saw and heard from Xue Rui was definitely not a person who was stunned, and it was not realistic to expect him to be a good man who loved his children and doted on his wife.

Liu Tan is young and old, forbearant and strategic, he was pressed to Longhu Mountain by Emperor Zhaoqing and raised for ten years without being able to polish his ambition, it can be seen that he can grow into a ruthless character comparable to King Ning in the near future, Xia Jiangmin's cultivation of the little scheming is put in front of people, it is completely at the level of not graduating from primary school, how can he be qualified for the position of Princess Jing?

Yu Shu has no experience in marriage and doesn't know men very well, but she treats the princess as a position, Xia Jiangmin is like an intern with no education and no experience, King Jing is not her partner but a boss with absolute right to speak, the whole thing is easy to do, the advice she gave is also the employee code she summarized when she worked in the investment bank - don't try to go against your boss, he can be impulsive, you can't.

Of course, she sincerely wishes that Xia Jiangmin can have a long-term relationship with Liu Tan, Qin Se and Ming, instead of raising their eyebrows and respecting each other.

"Ah Shu," Xia Jiangmin, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said, "I will be my princess well, don't worry about me." ”

Even if it is for the sake of her fourth sister who was brutally killed, she must be a good wife to respect the king, and will not let those who plan their conspiracies and tricks to their Xia Jiang family get their wish.

"Hmm." Yu Shu raised his hand, hesitated a few times, and patted her on the shoulder twice after the heavy daughter-in-law.

"Obviously, I'm leaving, you can rest."

Xia Jiangmin listened to Yu Shu's footsteps and left, silently counting, about her to the door, couldn't help but lift the corner of Xipa, and when she looked up, she saw her slender back, wearing a Yi Shi robe, which made her back line straight.

The red candle in front of the window was dazzling, and it vaguely reminded her of that thrilling night, on the merchant ship that escaped death, the young man who rescued her kept calling in her ear when she was unconscious-

Mingming, Mingming, wake up.

The tears that didn't fall the moment she stepped out of the house in the morning actually flowed out of her heart, and she whispered to the back of the person who had closed the door and left:

"Ah Shu, I don't want to be a princess, I'd rather be just Xia Mingming."

How she wished it was a dream and someone would wake her up again.

***

To go to the princess's tomb, at least catch up with a day's journey, Yu Shu because he wanted to send Xia Jiangmin to marry, he made an appointment with Jingchen in advance to leave in the afternoon, Xue Rui couldn't be absent from the wedding of the palace, the two of them drank the wedding wine in front of them, and the other instructed their girlfriends in the back, and left the palace with their heels and feet.

When they rode to the west of the city at the same time, Jingchen was already waiting there, accompanied by only a carriage, and he traveled lightly.

Yu Shu was surprised, she thought that the emperor and Da Tidian would at least send a team of forbidden troops to protect Jing Chen's safety, who would have thought that Jing Chen would bring a coachman who was driving horses, could it be that there were masters in ambush around?

Jingchen was surprised, he didn't expect Xue Rui to follow.

Xue Rui was the most calm, he nodded and said hello to Jingchen, without saying a word, as if he would appear here, which was a normal thing.

Yu Shu, the middleman, was a little embarrassed, these two men said that one was her predecessor and the other was her current one, sandwiched between the predecessor and the current one, why hadn't she considered this issue before, and was fooled by Xue Rui, so she agreed to let him go with her.

"Ahem," she cleared her throat and took the initiative to explain to Jing Chen: "One more person, one more helper, as the saying goes, three stinkers beat Zhuge Hou, even if that person has the wisdom of Kong Ming, the three of us are much smarter than ordinary people." ”

Jingchen can be martial, he is a super master, one enemy is not a problem, Xue Rui is extremely smart, one Ye Zhiqiu, she, shamelessly boasted of her wisdom and bravery, every time she was anxious, the three of them got together, as long as Yunhua dared to show up, were you afraid that he would run away?

The more Yu Shu thought about it, the more reliable he felt, and immediately couldn't wait any longer, looked at the sun in the west of the city, and said to the two:

"Let's get out of the city quickly, I don't think we can get there before dark, we have to spend the night tonight, it's better to rush to the nearby villages and towns, don't sleep in the open."

Jingchen is not a man from his mother-in-law, Xue Rui is here, even if he feels that this trip has nothing to do with Xue Rui, he will not have to drive him away and make Yu Shu embarrassed.

Xue Rui is also not a person who causes trouble, and he didn't speak quickly in front of Jing Chen, the two men looked at each other silently, and followed Yu Shu respectively.

The bright sun in early autumn sinks to the west, obliquely shining on the three jagged figures on horseback, this time I went to Anxian County to visit the princess's tomb, I don't know whether it is auspicious or evil. (To be continued......)
