Chapter 9: Foreplay

For the rest of the time, Duan Zhong was worried. Because during this period of time, Emperor Liang Wendi will soon show his attitude, whether he wants Xiao Beiding to marry Liao Jiajia on the third day of the third day of the third month of March. Duan Chong's most expected thing is naturally that Emperor Liang Wendi can be sympathetic to Miss Liao's condition, and the reason why it has not been delayed now is because there is still a glimmer of hope for Miss Liao Jiajia's illness and she can recover before the third day of the third month of March. All the wedding preparations went on as usual without any delays.

Of course, Emperor Liang Wen would not want his son to get back a sick princess, although he was extremely suspicious of Liao Jiajia's untimely illness, but he was helpless, the imperial doctor couldn't see any problems, what could an emperor do? However, Duan Zhong really underestimated the mind of Liao Zhangjin, an old fox, and chose to advise that March 3 was really an auspicious day, and he should take advantage of this good day to get married as soon as possible, and as for illness, he could slowly recuperate.

Liao Zhangjin, the old guy, is naturally counting on his daughter's good marriage to climb up the pole and link his future with his daughter's happiness, Duan Zhong is naturally gritted his teeth with hatred, and he can't wait to pull out the tendons of this old guy and make them into rubber bands for himself as a trouser belt, and what is even more odious is that Emperor Liang Wen actually agreed, although there is an ingredient in his good son Xiao Beiping's hard begging, but it is indeed accurate, and the day of this wedding will not be postponed for a day. Even if Liao Jiajia is so sick that she is unconscious, she will be carried to be a bride. Such an act...... Duan Zhong hated it, and his little abacus also failed, but he was helpless. In the palace these days, not only are the lights and red cloth hung high, but the garrison is also much stricter, even if Duan Chong has permission to enter and leave the palace freely, it can only be limited to a small area, it is impossible to see Liao Jiajia, and the guards in the palace are even stricter at night, and it is a great risk to sneak in, and Duan Chong does not want to take risks.

So in the following days, Duan Chong had the most contact with an official of the Ministry of Rites, a squire who looked like a green jade, Dong He. This Lord Dong He is the most appreciated by Lord Shangshu among the three waiters of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is naturally responsible for the wedding of the second prince, after all, that is the big head, Duan Chong is just a foreign product, who is the main owner still has to be distinguished, but obviously Duan Chong's identity is noble enough, otherwise Lord Dong He, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, would not personally run to Duan Chong's mansion day and night.

And the most important thing is that the reason why this Lord Dong He runs so diligently to the mansion is related to a little demon girl Li Chan'er who lives in the mansion. Obviously, Lord Dong He had a crush on Miss Li Chan'er, and when he was talking to Duan Chong, he wanted to drift his eyes to Li Chan'er on the side from time to time. Although this little girl is young, her kung fu is not bad at all. So much so that as soon as Lord Dong He left, Li Chan'er jumped over and counted with Duan Chong, counting Lord Dong He a few more times today.

Although the waiter of the Ministry of Rites has a long face like white jade, and he is the most optimistic waiter of the Ministry of Rites, it can be said that he has a bright future, but looking at this kid and Li Chan'er's eyebrows, Duan Chong's heart is uncomfortable, not to mention that every time Master Dong He leaves, Li Chan'er has to run to Duan Chong to show off, as if this means: You don't look down on me, there are many people chasing me, and the old lady is not rare for you! So Duan Chong's nose is always filled with a smell of vinegar, of course, this may also be just Duan Chong's wishful thinking.

However, for Li Chan'er, Duan Zhong really didn't know how to treat her. Although she also has the idea of taking her in, she can't be too flamboyant in front of Su'er, and since announcing her marriage to Su'er, Li Chan'er seems to be a little deliberately avoiding herself, and she doesn't know what she is doing when she goes out early and returns late all day. Although Duan Zhong also paid attention to it for a while, he didn't have so much energy after all, so he could only give up and go with her in the end.

Seeing the time pass day by day, the day of the big wedding has arrived in a blink of an eye. During this period, Duan Zhong didn't do anything, just accompanied Su'er to buy some things, talk some volume, and avoid the cold winter in the house by the way. This kind of life is indeed very comfortable, but it's a pity that there is a girl who talks about the family. The news from the palace confirmed that the daughter of Lord Liao Zhangjin was still seriously ill, but even if she died, she would have to wear a crown to marry, and the second prince Xiao Beiding, from Duan Chong's point of view, should still be in a state of inactivity at this moment. The old emperor of Southern Liang took charge of Xiao Beiding's marriage, but he was not in a hurry about Xiao Beiping's marriage at all, which made Duan Chong feel a little surprised.

However, the day before the third day of the third month of March, that is, the day of the second day of the third month of March, which happened to be the day of the early dynasty, Emperor Wen of Liang suddenly announced a piece of news, which was still an extremely terrifying news. Even the marriage of our prince Xiao Beiping has finally been decided, the object is the daughter of the city lord of Dongyi City, and the day of marriage is staring at the eighth day of the sixth month, and the team of Dongyi to send off relatives is already on the way. This is a highly political marriage, Duan Zhong expressed strong regret for Xiao Beiping for falling victim to politics, but what he needs to care about most at the moment is still his own marriage.

Early in the morning on the third day of the third month of March, Duan Zhong was called by Lord Dong He, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who rushed over, and the groom was the busiest and tired on this wedding day, and he couldn't get any rest at all. Originally, according to Emperor Liang Wendi's meaning, the wedding of the two was held together in the palace, but Duan Zhong categorically refused, and Emperor Liang Wen could only understand that Duan Chong was not in agreement with the second prince, so he could only agree, so he adopted a compromise method and set up a banquet in the outer building of the most famous restaurant in the capital, and the banquet guests were not a loss of face.

Originally, this marriage was extremely troublesome, and according to the rules, it took six ceremonies to marry the bride through the door, and these six ceremonies were Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Naji, inviting dates, and greeting. This Nacai is a matchmaker to propose, asking the name is to ask the woman's birthday and eight characters and divination, Najib is to inform the other party of the good results of the divination, to send a dowry gift to the facts, the date is to set the date, and the bride is to marry home. It's a pity that Su'er is Duan Chong's own person at all, no need to ask and divinate gossip, after all, Su'er has been more than ten years longer than Duan Chong, and the test of the eight characters must be word-for-word, but this bride price still has to be symbolically sent, anyway, in the end, it has to return to Duan Chong's own pocket, and the other links will naturally skip and go directly to the link of greeting relatives.

For these links, Lord Dong He has gone through rigorous research, and strives to achieve perfection in every link, so he has been communicating with Duan Zhong for the past few days, for Lord Dong He's words, Duan Zhong has always been the left ear in, the right ear is more, after all, this ancient wedding is too cumbersome, or the simplicity of his previous life. However, the wedding still has to be held, and according to Duan Chong's requirements, it must be held early, and it is best to finish it in the morning, but this is a serious non-compliance with the rules, so Lord Dong He came over early today, hoping to persuade Duan Chong's little uncle to come in a normal order. It's a pity that Lord Dong He is not Emperor Liang Wendi, and he doesn't have such a big shelf, so Duan Zhong has no reason to bird him.

Everything came according to Duan Chong's plan, and early in the morning, several carriages from Duan Mansion's house went to the outer building. At this moment, the outer building of the building has been arranged as an extremely festive wedding venue, in terms of pomp, there is no need for the second prince Xiao Beiding in the palace, Duan Zhong attaches great importance to this wedding, and smashes a large amount of silver to go down, if there is no effect, you can naturally hit the wall.

Today was supposed to be two big days in Nanliang, because there were two extremely important people who were going to hold a wedding. Originally, according to Emperor Liang Wendi's meaning, this wedding was held by the two of them in the palace together, and when the time came, the hundred officials entered the palace to celebrate, no matter which party would appear to have face, but Duan Zhong categorically refused, so there was only one prince in the palace. After all, Xiao Beiding is the prince of a country, so the officials with status in this Nanjing city are all going to enter the palace to watch the ceremony, and when they arrive at Duan Chong's building, they are naturally some miscellaneous fish, all of which are secondary figures in the palace of some officials in the court, for example, Lord Wang Junpeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, entered the palace, and the person who came to Duan Chong's wedding was Wang Zhikun, the son of Lord Wang, and the person who came to the Prime Minister's house was Zhu Zhengming, the son of the Prime Minister's family. The rest of the lovely people are like the brother-in-law of a certain imperial master, the leader of a certain city gate inspection department, and the captain of a certain forbidden guard...... There are countless of them, most of them are under the banner of congratulating their bosses, but these are also expected by Duan Chong, so he doesn't care. The most important guest present at Earl's wedding was naturally the eldest prince Xiao Beiping, because Xiao Beiping knew some of Duan Chong's arrangements, so he was not afraid of missing his brother's wedding.

At this moment, Duan Zhong and Master Dong He Shilang were riding in a carriage, and Su'er was sitting in a carriage behind. And as soon as Lord Dong He arrived today, Duan Zhong showed unusual enthusiasm, which made Lord Dong He feel very uneasy. By the time the carriage reached the door of the building, the street was already crowded. Duan Zhong led Lord Dong He out of the carriage, and then walked to the lobby of the outer building, all the guests were already in place, the only thing that made Lord Dong He very confused was that all the ceremonial officials arranged by the Ministry of Rites were all blocked from the door, and none of them were allowed to enter, and the musicians who were playing musical instruments outside were blowing the cold wind outside......

Duan Chong didn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, and pulled Lord Dong He to go inside, at this time most of the guests were already in place, but when he entered the door, Duan Chong did not go straight to the guest seats, but pulled Lord Dong He into the small room behind the counter, facing the gate. This room was originally arranged as a place for the groom to wait, and next door was the place where Su'er was waiting, and no one was there at the moment, as soon as he entered the room, Duan Chong took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill from it, and stuffed it into the mouth of Lord Dong He: "Everything is according to my orders today, otherwise this poison will kill you." If what you do satisfies me, I'll give you the antidote! ”
