In the middle of June, the weather was very nice, there was no rain, and the weather was much cooler these days, not as hot as before. Uncle Yang's mansion has changed greatly, from three courtyards to four, large and small houses have been repaired, the pavilions, steps, flowers and plants, and trees in the courtyard are hung with red brocade, and several lanterns wrapped in red cloth are hung under the eaves, on which the emperor himself writes the word "Xi". In the center of the back hall hangs a big happy character of nearly one zhang, and the long table is full of various offerings, and the spiritual seat of Yang Mu is placed in the middle, and oil lamps are lit on both sides.

Uncle Yang came in and knelt down lightly on the futon, saluted the incense, kowtowed, still kneeling and did not get up, until the old housekeeper came in and gently helped him up from the ground, his face was full of tears, because of the sadness of the body also twitched slightly, it has been twenty-three years, but he has always been unable to let go.

When the night fell, there was a bird cry in the yard, and the old housekeeper ran in: "Congratulations, sir, there are magpies in the yard, this is for Mr. to report the good news!" Uncle Yang looked at the old housekeeper who was grinning and showing a mouth full of gums, and also smiled, it is rare to have such a happy event in life, how can you not be happy?

It's just that there are destined to be a lot of sleepless people this night, Uncle Yang is lying on the bed, tossing and turning, from tomorrow onwards, he will not only have Yang Jin's child, there will be a hostess in this house, thinking of this Uncle Yang's heart is a little excited, I can't help but think of Zihua, thinking of her wanton laughter, she never hides it, how happy she comes, when she thinks of these Uncle Yang's faces, a smile also appeared.

Zihua also couldn't sleep for a long time this night, and was tossed by the queen and her maids during the day, discussing what to wear and what to wear, these were actually considered in her heart, and she couldn't be too extravagant, because Uncle Yang didn't like it, and she couldn't be too cumbersome, because she didn't like it. Supposedly, he should be able to fall asleep soon this night, but he just can't sleep, what is he doing now? Could it be that you are thinking about yourself too? Zihua suddenly blushed, pulled the quilt over and covered his head, and secretly thought in his heart, "It's too useless, what about the free and easy Zihua before?" What can I do, isn't it just a different place to sleep?"

The Huang Mansion has not been visited for a long time, and Huan Ji has begun to relax his vigilance a little, and Huang Gongfu never mentions the change of law when he goes to the palace every day to teach the two princes, but only tells them about historical matters, Yao Shunyu, and Xia Ji's violent impermanence has reached the end of the country, and warns them to be a virtuous monarch.

Huan Ji sometimes even felt that Huang Gongfu's opinion should be asked at the beginning of the reform, instead of completely shelving this old minister into the cabinet.

As the night darkened, Huang Gongfu went to the back garden for a walk after dinner as usual, which was quiet and a good place to think about things carefully. The shade of the tree fell to the ground, and it was not clear in the shadows, but Huang Gongfu instinctively felt that there was someone inside, he held his footsteps, who could it be inside? What is that man here for? Huang Gongfu had sweat on his forehead.

Suddenly, a deep voice came out: "My lord come in and talk." ”

Huang Gongfu only hesitated for a moment, then raised his steps and walked in, there are no family members or guards here, this person can enter the mansion must not come in from the mansion gate, that is, he jumped in from the courtyard wall, if this person's martial arts want to kill himself, it is easy to kill himself, but he did not do this, it means that it is for other reasons.

I saw a man of medium stature, about five feet tall, dressed in black, wearing a black hat under the dark shadow, Huang Gongfu walked over slowly. The black-clothed man's voice was still low: "Lord Huang, I came here to discuss some matters, and I hope you can give you a clear answer." ”

Huang Gongfu smiled softly, although the man in black was in good shape and standing in the dark shadow, he still heard who this was, Huang Gongfu was able to sit in today's seat, but it was not just by luck.

"Lord Yan came to my house and I don't know what to do, Huang listened attentively."

The man in black was stunned for a moment, then took off the hat on his head, laughed, and said, "Sure enough, Lord Huang is not something that ordinary people can fool. ”

"Where, Lord Yan has a good reputation, I'm just an idler now, so I can compare with you."

The corners of Yan Yifan's mouth cracked, and he secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, and said: "Lord Huang, I came today to ask the adults about something, I don't know what the adults think of what will happen today and tomorrow?" ”

Huang Gongfu replied: "I don't know what Lord Yan said? You also know that the old man has been closing his door these days, supervising my son's study at home, and has never asked about anything else, and now that the government and the world are in harmony with each other, this is a great blessing, what happened? ”

The corners of Yan Yifan's mouth jumped slightly, and it was really an old fox, so he simply picked it out and said: "How could my lord not know that Lord Taiwei is going to marry the county lord, this matter is given by the emperor, what do you think of this matter, I want to ask for your opinion." ”

Yan Yifan's posture was very low, he knew that this old fox had lived on people for a long time, and he valued face the most, and it was best to put on a posterior appearance if he wanted him to speak.

"This is naturally a good thing, there has always been a marriage between important ministers and the royal family, isn't this the link between the government and the courtiers. Moreover, it was a marriage given by the emperor himself. ”

Yan Yifan was a little impatient, and asked directly: "Lord Huang, I want to ask you about your attitude towards the change, and ask Lord Huang to tell me seriously, my Yan family will take the lead of adults no matter what." ”

Huang Gongfu replied immediately, but he turned away, and the look on his face could not be seen clearly in the shadows. Yan Yifan stared at Huang Gongfu tightly. Both of them fell silent, the wind rustled through the leaves, and a pebble seemed to fall into the pond, making a dull sound.

Finally, Huang Gongfu turned around: "Do you Yan family think like that?" ”

Yan Yifan was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Yes, as long as the adult speaks, the Yan family will help the adult." ”

This is the old noble family, in this era, it is difficult for poor students to enter the court as officials, and those who enter the court must be those who are virtuous and well-known in the world, and these people are mostly attached to the noble families of the current dynasty for the sake of their future careers, so if no one else intervenes, these families will fall into each other, but once outsiders intervene, or people who do not belong to them enter, they will unite and resist together.

The Yan family, one of the most noble families in the world, Uncle Yang's change of law did a lot of damage to their interests, so it was naturally impossible for these people to stand on Uncle Yang's side to defend the new law, but these families didn't want to come out directly to provoke, so they found Huang Gongfu, the former first minister.

These Huang Gongfu naturally saw it very clearly, although he was also from a poor background back then, no one wanted to live that kind of poor life again when he was used to living a luxurious life, and Uncle Yang was not willing either, so he had to stand in line by himself, and where he went would affect him, including the fate of the family.

Huang Gongfu nodded after listening to Yan Yifan's words, and said, "Now they are in full swing. ”

Yan Yifan smiled, he knew what Huang Gongfu meant: "Okay, the late student has said goodbye, please rest well, it's cold at night, let's go back to the house early." ”

After Yan Yifan finished speaking, he quickly climbed to the wall along a big tree by the wall, and jumped lightly, without making a sound. Huang Gongfu was shocked in his heart, Yan Yifan, a young man who usually looks like a weak scholar, had such skills.

Huang Gongfu also had complete insomnia this night, there was a behemoth behind him, he was excited at this moment, he wanted to tell everyone that he was not so deaf that he should be put on the shelf.

The sky was bright, the street was already a commotion, on both sides of the two people holding the book for a hundred years as the guide to open the way, followed by the drum band, blowing and playing along the way, and then behind were more than 20 big men carrying dowries, these big men were all drawn from the forbidden army, I saw them naked and the green tendons on their arms.

Zihua's sedan chair is carried by eight men dressed in red brocade robes.

Uncle Yang didn't go to greet his relatives, at this time he just stood on the steps of the mansion gate and waited, it was not that he didn't want to greet his relatives, it was completely because he didn't know the process of getting married, he had been on the mountain most of the time since he could remember, and the teacher taught everything else but didn't teach him this.

But fortunately, the rest of the affairs are taken care of.

The old butler had already ordered a rice bag to be laid in front of the door. When the sedan chair arrived at the door, Uncle Yang was about to step forward to help Zihua get off the sedan chair, but was stopped by the old housekeeper. The bride helped Zihua walk into the house from the rice bag.

Zihua was dressed in a red wedding dress, but there were no other decorative objects on his body, presumably because Zihua knew that Uncle Yang had always been thrifty.

It was almost evening when the process of worshiping ancestors, worshipping, and spreading tents was over, and Uncle Yang felt like he was falling apart, and he really felt a little distressed in his heart.

But no one dares to make trouble in the cave room, who dares to make trouble in the cave room of these two people?

Uncle Yang accompanied the guests until the time, and then everyone slowly dispersed, Uncle Yang retreated from the wooden door of the new house, looking at the bright oil lights inside, and suddenly felt a little panicked, like a dream but not like a dream, it was a little vague.

On the edge of the bed in the back sat Zihua with a red scarf on his head, and Uncle Yang slowly approached, picked up the scale next to him with trembling hands and gently picked up the square scarf on Zihua's head.

Zihuaqiao's face was flushed, a smile was on the corner of her mouth, and she stared at Uncle Yang. Uncle Yang took the wine bottle, and the two drank a bottle of wine around each other's arms.

Zihua waited for a long time and didn't see Uncle Yang speak, only to turn her head to find that Uncle Yang was rubbing his hands and shaking a little cramped, she held back a smile and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Oh, I...... I'm fine. Rest early. Uncle Yang said as he took off his boots and was about to go to bed.

Zihua glared at Uncle Yang lightly, put the white handkerchief prepared by the bride next to him on the bed, and gently untied the placket of his clothes, revealing the dirty clothes inside. Uncle Yang picked up the handkerchief and threw it down, and gently hugged Zihua into his arms: "This should have been given to me by my mother, but now it is ......"

Zihua knew what Uncle Yang was going to say, so he just reached out and hooked Uncle Yang's neck.

Who is full of spring in the garden, but does not know that spring is by the pillow.
