Chapter 25: The Happy Affair of Qing'er and Xiao Shen
In April, the time is just right.
Since the fall of the Wan family, many groups of officials in the government and the opposition have been dismissed.
Influenced by the luxurious mansion of Wanli Nanyuan, several dignitaries led by Leng Qingtang jointly wrote a letter demanding that Emperor Jingxiao abolish the old government, weaken the privileges of princes and ministers, and implement land reform, military and political reform, and the reform of the central imperial examination.
After the changes of the Spring Banquet, Emperor Jingxiao's dragon body deteriorated, and he was only interested in Jindan all day long, and had no mental politics at all, so he completely delegated his rights to Dongchang.
Gu Yunxi's life was quiet but fulfilling, she went to the palace several times to visit Concubine Yu and the Seven Princes, and every time she went, she would bring hand-made exquisite food.
The two sisters had endless words to talk about when they saw the sky, and often sat opposite each other for a day, talking, crying, and laughing.
Gu Yunyao talked about the topic most every time was Concubine Xu.
She believes that even if she didn't kill with her own hands, Sister Xu's death is inseparable from her.
At first, Gu Yunxi would comfort her to some extent, and after a long time, she would feel at ease to be a qualified listener.
She finally understood that her sister's rambling talk was actually a kind of venting and self-redemption.
Because only every time she talks to her most trusted sister, the guilt in her heart will be reduced.
Gu Yunxi also told her sister that Xu Shangshu's family is doing well now.
Just after the family was rehabilitated and released, Xu Shangshu resigned from his official position and has now embarked on the road to return to his hometown.
That day, before the Wan father and son were sentenced at noon, they paraded through the streets, and Xu Shangshu's family stood in the crowd to watch.
Gu Yunyao asked her sister to visit the fourth princess when she was free, thanks to her speaking for Gu Yunxi by the emperor's side, they believed that Gu Yunxi, as a secret guard of Dongchang, infiltrated the Hidden Mountain rebel party organization, and resolutely agreed to the other party's request in order to gain the trust of the other party, and exchanged faces with one person inside.
In this way, it will reduce a lot of resistance for her to change her appearance and identity in the future.
Talking about Emperor Jingxiao, Gu Yunyao expressed a trace of worry.
According to the eunuchs around the emperor, the number of times the emperor took Jindan increased dramatically every day, and the dose was also surprisingly large.
And Gu Yunxi knew the truth in his heart.
"Forget worries" Gu poison, I'm afraid that the emperor's body has been hollowed out by Gu worms, and he won't be able to withstand it for a few months.
Another piece of news came one after another, and the maid of Chuxiu Palace, Lan Xin, finally had her whereabouts.
That day, Fan Lin suddenly went to Dongchang to ask to see Gu Yunxi, saying that he was going around the palace to make money and finally find out the news of Lan Xin, and he was in the court, doing the roughest and most painful work such as cleaning the toilet.
He asked Gu Yunxi to think of a way to operate and fish people out.
Later, Concubine Yu helped with this.
In her own name, she asked Ye Ting to ask Lan Xin to enter Jingyang Palace as a maid, and turned her head and gave grace to give her to Fan Lin, a guard of the Tiger Battalion of the Forbidden Army, as his wife, and a box of gold and silver as a dowry.
Lan Xin was very grateful to Concubine Yu and Gu Yunxi, and Mei Zizi carried a box of gold and silver in the cart, and walked out of the gate of the palace hand in hand with Fan Lin.
Everything went smoothly, and the days passed quickly in happiness and sweetness.
From time to time, military reports came from southern Xinjiang.
The army is fierce and brave, and there is a huge arsenal in the rear to help, and its combat effectiveness is far beyond the imagination of the imperial court.
The war of annihilation will continue for a moment and a half.
On the sixth day of the fifth month, everything is fine in the Yellow Calendar.
On this day, Dongchang and Beizhen Fusi wore red and hung colors early.
Today is the day of Qing'er's marriage.
Before the fifth watch, she got up and put on the phoenix crown and xia veil, sat in front of the dressing table, and combed her hair by the bride.
Gu Yunxi stood quietly and watched, looking at the light girl with her wedding dress like fire and looking at the bronze mirror, with a happy and peaceful smile.
"One comb to the head, two to the end, three to the eyebrows with white hair."
The bride sang while combing, and her smiling voice added joy.
Gu Yunxi held the tassel head cover in his hand, stepped forward enviously, and exclaimed in amazement:
"Qing'er, you are so beautiful today!"
Qing'er turned around, her eyes were like ripples in the water, fainting slightly in a circle.
She suddenly hugged Gu Yunxi, a little coquettish, and said sourly:
"Girl, Qing'er don't leave you."
"Don't say stupid things, when girls grow up, they always have to live with their lifelong dependence."
Gu Yunxi's gentle smile was like a June breeze with warmth, pushed the girl away, and looked fixedly:
"Be obedient, serve your husband well, and honor your mother-in-law."
The girl's cheeks flushed, and she nodded slightly.
At that moment, Gu Yunxi saw her eyes flashing with water.
Qing'er has always followed her loyally, breaking into Jiang'an, begging for pear rain, and exploring the Ming Mansion, even when she and the overseer were provoked by adulterers, she showed absolute protection to her.
Gu Yunxi regards Qing'er as her biological sister, and now she personally sends her sister out of the cabinet, while she feels full of a sense of accomplishment, her heart suddenly overflows with reluctance and sourness that parting is imminent.
The sound of firecrackers in the courtyard was loud, and the gongs and drums were noisy.
Xi Niang said that the auspicious time has come.
Gu Yunxi blinked her wet eyes, put down her hijab for Qing'er, and personally helped her out of the house.
The courtyard was crowded, and the top ten heads of the East Factory gathered, as well as several leaders in the Fusi of Beizhen, where Qing'er was organized.
Xiao Xiaoshen stood under the corridor in a wedding dress, and when he saw his wife, he was suddenly in a surging mood, his eyebrows met the morning sun, the corners of his mouth were raised high, and he was smiling with joy.
He stepped forward to take the girl's hand, smiled at Gu Yunxi, and said happily:
"Hehe, Sister Yunxi, don't worry, I won't treat Qing'er badly. And we await good news from you and the Overseer. ”
"Girl......"
Qing'er was blindfolded with Xipa, held by the groom with one hand, and Gu Yunxi with the other, and refused to go down the porch, with a slight trill, calling her over and over again:
"Girl, girl... Girl......"
Seeing this, Lan Xin smiled and said:
"Sister, don't worry, my girl will be taken care of by me in the future."
Qing'er got married, Gu Yunxi lacked helpers by her side, and Lan Xin took the initiative to ask Ying when she heard about it, which can be regarded as finding a new errand in the East Factory.
Xi Niang smiled and comforted:
"It's not early, the sedan chair should get up, and the two newcomers will go to the front hall to worship the overseer."
Qing'er was a maid bought by the Admiral's Mansion, without a father or mother, Dongchang and the Admiral's Mansion were her home, and the Overseer, Gu Yunxi and a group of Fanwei brothers were her relatives.
Leng Qingtang sat on the high-backed chair, looked at Gu Yunxi, and smiled gently:
"Girl, sit next to me and let the newcomer salute."
She was momentarily stunned.
Leng Qingtang leaned over and grabbed her, looking at her with burning eyes:
"Then I said that you could not be absent from the wedding hall of the two of them. Come, sit down. ”
Gu Yunxi slowly sat down on the chair beside the Overseer in the eyes of many expectations, and he was excited.
The two newcomers knelt down and kowtowed to the overseer and Gu Yunxi.
After the ceremony, Cheng Wanli picked up the groom, looked at his young and handsome face, with his usual seriousness on his black face, and only said:
"In the future, live a good life."
He patted the groom on the shoulder, as if it were a command, as if it were a request.
Straddle the horse and parade the street, and the honor guard opens the way.
The new house is on Shili Street, and it was Leng Qingtang who bought it as a wedding gift for the two of them.
Half a month ago, Xiao Xiaoshen picked up his old mother and sister from Xiuhe's hometown, and the family can finally live a happy life in the future.
Seeing off the newcomers, the East Factory arranged a banquet, and the leaders surrounded the overseer and Gu Yunxi, drinking happily.
This party drank a lot of people, and Yuan Qian made the most trouble.
After Xu was left with Jiang blocking his head, everyone's hearts were secretly depressed.
Now that Wan's has been brought down and Xichang has fallen, none of the former traitors have ended well, and they have finally vented their anger for the people of Dongchang.
When the night fell, people were drunk and scattered, and only the overseer and Gu Yunxi were left on the table.
The shadow of the lights was deep, and the banquet hall with many fewer people suddenly seemed empty.
Gu Yunxi played with the empty wine jug, staring directly at the table full of remnants of food that was gradually ghosted, and shouted with an urn:
"Qing'er, the wine is gone, ...... soon"
She suddenly thought that Qing'er was getting married today, and now she is no longer in Dongchang.
Lan Xin approached lightly, took the wine jug, and looked at Leng Qingtang with a soliciting gaze.
Leng Qingtang smiled and shook his head at her.
Lan Xin understood, and Fu Shen withdrew.
Gu Yunxi didn't feel that she was drunk, because her consciousness was very clear.
In the confusion of her eyes, she saw everyone vaguely surrounding the table, she saw Jiang blocking her head, and the time seemed to go back to Chongyang that year......
She reached out and grabbed him out of thin air, but she was wrapped in a warm breath.
Her nose was full of a cold fragrance that smelled good, making her eyes moist and red.
Leng Qingtang hugged her and comforted her in a whisper:
"Girl, I'll take you to sleep."
She looked up, trying to see his beautiful and handsome eyebrows, and her voice was choked:
"I don't want to die anymore... How nice it would be to always be like today......"
The Overseer's gaze was as soft as a pool of spring water, and his fingertips picked at her jaw, and his voice was soft:
"Well, I promise you, I won't be ...... in the future"
Bow your head and kiss hard.
The girl's expression became stupid, her eyes swayed, and she suddenly asked:
"I love you, Governor, will you love me forever? Even if I'm old and uglier than I am now, will you always love me? ”
His eyes were as black as charm, and a cluster of sparks under his eyes intensified, staring at the delicate lips in front of him that were red and swollen by his own violation, and suddenly got up and hugged her to the south courtyard, and said all the way:
"I'll tell you with my actions."
When he entered the house, he threw the drunken little man on the bed, and ripped off her clothes, and he lingered with her.
The girl let his kiss take over her body, and shivers emanated from her spine, infecting her limbs in an instant.
With the help of alcohol, she responded frantically and enthusiastically.
On someone else's wedding night, the two of them also indulged in endless excitement and sweetness.
The voice outside the door came at an inopportune time:
"Overseer, there is an urgent military report in southern Xinjiang—"
