The Zhennan General's Mansion is located next to the entrance of the Dengshi outside the imperial city of the capital, adjacent to the Forbidden City, in the middle of a solemn and heroic mansion of important ministers. The Zhennan General's Mansion, with gray walls and black tiles, is particularly low-key and calm among the red walls and green tiles. The two stone lions at the door are majestic, showing the inviolable majesty of the General's Mansion.

However, today is a special day, and the Chunshu Hutong, where the General's Mansion is located, has been very lively since early in the morning. At this moment, there were more than a dozen people standing in the sedan car square in front of the door, looking forward to the mouth of the alley, led by a middle-aged woman.

The woman wears a brown butterfly wrap skirt with ochre yellow embroidered twigs and clouds. A black hair is tied into a fashionable horse bun, and a dark red peony flower is inserted obliquely. With a face like a hibiscus and eyebrows like a willow, she is really a beautiful woman. There are wrinkles at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and there are some traces of wind and frost on her face, about forty years old. It is the current head of the General's Mansion, the mother of Jin Yuanbao - Mrs. Jin.

Vaguely, a pleasant suona sound sounded at the mouth of the alley, when even a small guy ran quickly, shouting while running: "It's coming, it's coming!" Behind him was a mighty guard of honor.

The beautiful woman hurriedly led everyone and knelt down respectfully in the direction of the honor guard, throwing herself to the ground.

The guard of honor walked slowly, and when it reached the stone bench in front of the general's palace, it stopped.

There was a man who came out of the honor guard, wearing a crimson robe that only officials of the fourth rank and above could wear, with a white face and beard, and he was about fifty years old. He paced in front of Mrs. Jin, slowly unfolded the edict in his hand and read it steadily: "Empress Dowager Yizhi, to Jiang Xiaoxuan, the daughter of Prime Minister Jiang Xiu, Roujia Shushun, elegant and pleasant, dignified Shurui, Ke Lingkerou, today I am specially married to Jin Yuanbao, the son of the former general Jin Datong......"

The long edict made the kneeling man a little impatient. At the back of the line, kneeling was a gorgeously dressed young woman with a beautiful appearance, but her face was unhappy and aggrieved, and she was out of place with the jubilant crowd around her. It seemed that her legs were numb from her knees, and she got up quietly, as if she wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, the hem of the clothes was grasped by a large hand with distinct knuckles.

The big hand pulled her hard, and the woman knelt down helplessly, struggling with a complaining face, and lowered her voice and said angrily: "Liu Wenzhao, what are you doing?" ”

Liu Wenzhao persuaded softly: "Qianqian, the holy decree has not been received yet." ”

The woman who was called Qianqian shook her head and said, "What does it have to do with me!" Let me watch my cousin's marriage here, I can't stand it! ”

Seeing that she was unreasonable, Liu Wenzhao was a little angry, and when he glared at her, he said fiercely: "Liu Qianqian! This is the marriage of the Queen Mother, if she leaves at this time, my aunt must be very angry! The consequences of this ...... Think for yourself! ”

Hearing this, Liu Qianqian glanced at Mrs. Jin who was kneeling respectfully in front of her, pursed her mouth aggrievedly, and leaned down very reluctantly.

Seeing that his sister compromised, Liu Wenzhao also softened a little, and said with gentle relief: "Bear with me, it's not been long." ”

After a long long edict, I finally read the last sentence.

"The emperor's grace is vast, for the heart. Chin this—"

The old eunuch's slightly shrill voice sounded a little like a duck's call, especially when he deliberately dragged out his long singing, which made people feel a little funny, so much that he lowered this solemn feeling a little.

Mrs. Jin frowned slightly, raised her hands respectfully, took the decree, and said, "Courtiers Xie Empress Dowager Longen!" ”

The eunuch hurriedly smiled and reached out to help Mrs. Jin, "Madame, please get up quickly." ”

Mrs. Jin slowly got up with his support, and said with a kind smile: "There is Lao Qin's father-in-law." ”

Father-in-law Qin waved his hand again and again and smiled: "Oh, madam, what you said, you are the niece of the Queen Mother, the golden branch and jade leaf, I can't afford this thank you." With that, he looked left and right at the people around him who were slowly getting up, and muttered, "That...... Small-eyed, what about Childe? Hurry up and let the ingot boy come out to thank you. ”

The faint smile on Mrs. Jin's face froze, "This...... Inuko ......", she turned and wandered through the crowd, as if asking for help.

Seeing this, Liu Wenzhao hurriedly got up and walked quickly to Mrs. Jin, who whispered in her ear, "Auntie, I have searched all over the house, but the son is not there." ”

When Mrs. Jin heard this, she couldn't say anything, but she couldn't hide the disappointment on her face.

"Inuko...... Absence...... It should be...... It should be busy, well, busy. Mrs. Jin looked at Gonggong Qin very embarrassed, and she lost her confidence when she said this.

Gonggong Qin was slightly stunned, and his face was a little unhappy, "Mrs. Jin, isn't it a miscellaneous family...... You are too spoiled by Jin Gongzi! This is not busy with official business, it is just a small catch. How can he be worthy of his status as a general's son-in-law? This General Jin's family business has to be inherited by him, how can you indulge him so much! ”

Speaking of this, Gonggong Qin saw that Mrs. Jin's face was displeased, and when he changed the topic, he said: "Of course, Gongzi is busy, after all, today is a special day, and he is a party, how can he not be there...... Alas...... I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will be unhappy if she knows about it. ”

When Mrs. Jin heard this, she didn't care about any etiquette, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Grandpa Qin's sleeve, and said, "Oh, Grandpa Qin, your old man is here, and I let you stand here and chat, it's really rude!" Let's go, please come in the house, please come in the house. ”

Even though Gonggong Qin understood what Mrs. Jin meant, he followed into the General's Mansion with a smile.

Liu Wenzhao also hurriedly followed into the house, and by the way, he instructed his subordinates on the meals to be arranged for a while. Only then did he walk up to Mrs. Jin and excuse herself: "Auntie, Miss Jiang's convoy should be arriving soon, I'll arrange it first." ”

Mrs. Jin sighed faintly: "This matter should have been done by Yuanbao...... But that kid is too angry, alas...... I'm going to trouble you again. ”

"Relieving my aunt's worries is what my little nephew should do. What's more, I'm still the butler of this general's mansion, isn't it? It is even more reasonable, my aunt can rest assured that the little nephew will definitely be arranged properly. Liu Wenzhao took a step back respectfully and bowed.

"Okay, good, you do things, I have always been at ease." Mrs. Jin patted Liu Wenzhao on the shoulder and said, "Go and come back quickly." ”

"Yes." Liu Wenzhao got the order, took a few steps backwards, and then turned to leave.

Liu Wenzhao's footsteps suddenly slowed down when he stepped out of the backyard of the General's Mansion. A man walked towards him, wearing a neat dark blue tight-fitting suit, with tied arms wrapped around his forearm, and he looked like a Lian Jiazi. Sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, face like a knife, a good look, just ...... In those eyes, there was an anger that could not be hidden.

As soon as the man saw Liu Wenzhao, he walked towards him quickly, walked respectfully to his left rear, lowered his head and reported: "Miss Jiang's convoy has arrived outside the city safely, we should rush over at this time, it should be just the right time." ”

Liu Wenzhao nodded expressionlessly, "Zhilu Dao, you go and arrange it." ”

"Yes." The man answered and walked away quickly.

"Agui!" Liu Wenzhao suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly called him: "Go and call Doctor Gu Changfeng." ”

"Yes."
