After saying this sentence at this moment, she recalled the scene when Chen Xian hung on the knife mountain for her during the day, and she was secretly annoyed - why didn't she even have this courage, and she was still stingy when she said something.

Thinking of this, she slowly raised her head, trying to suppress the tension in her heart, although her eyes stopped on Chen Xian's face, she still didn't dare to look at him.

She gritted her teeth lightly, tried to raise her voice, and changed her title: "The official has already redeemed the little hairpin, the concubine is already yours, the concubine is lowly, and the official is ...... mercy."

When Xiao Liang heard this, he blushed, pursed his lips, and quietly took two steps back.

Lu Xiaochai's words seemed to make Chen Xian suddenly remember something, he raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, there was no longer the embarrassment of being a suitable talent on his face, but instead took Lu Xiaochai's soft hair and pulled her to sit at the table: "Xiaochai, I want to marry Ming Media." ”

"What?" Lu Xiaochai and Xiao Li, who was hiding from afar and eavesdropping, were stunned when they heard this.

Lu Xiaochai looked at Chen Xian with disbelief, trying to find the slightest hint of joking from his face, but she failed.

Chen Xian nodded sincerely at Lu Xiaochai, and said loudly: "Xiaochai, I was so carried away by alcohol that I forgot my previous considerations. ”

"Official......" Lu Xiaochai opened a pair of apricot eyes and looked at the serious man in front of him.

In this day and age, taking a wife and taking a concubine were two different things.

Wife, refers to the Ming media is marrying, is in accordance with the provisions of the "Book of Rites" on the implementation, the first to accept is to invite the matchmaker to come to the door to propose, after getting the permission of the woman, before continuing to ask for the name, Najib, Nahui, invitation, kiss, these six parts are also called "six rites", is a serious marriage to the necessary steps.

The concubine is much simpler, a small sedan chair and a carriage welcome people into the house through the side door, and at most hang a few red silks in the inner courtyard, which is considered to have completed the procedure.

The status of wives and concubines in the family is also completely different, the wife is the mistress of the family, and the concubine is only slightly higher than the subordinate, and there is even a custom of giving and buying and selling at will.

Lu Xiaochai used to be a famous prostitute in Qinglou, but no matter how famous she is, no matter how famous she is, and then she is the leader of all flowers in Hangzhou City, according to the etiquette law, she can only be accepted as a concubine at most, the process is so simple that the man only needs to put on a comb banquet, tell everyone that this woman has been bought by me, and then take her home, even if she enters the door.

Chen Xian was absolutely unwilling to let the woman in front of him enter the house so plain and even pitiful.

The reason is very simple, she is not only beautiful, gentle and graceful, but also the first warmth she encountered when she came to this world, and she is the lifesaver who ransomed herself from prison.

This beauty kindness alone is to go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, Chen Xian has already done it! Now to challenge the customs and etiquette, the red hanging color rides a horse to greet her relatives in person, so why can't she wear a red wedding dress to marry into the family?

Chen Xian reached out dotingly and pinched Lu Xiaochai's nose, which was slightly upturned because of nervousness, and said undoubtedly: "Xiaochai, I must let you marry you brightly!" ”

After speaking, he seemed to feel that his tone was a little stiff, so he smiled again: "Rest early, let's go back to your hometown tomorrow to have a look......

That night, at Chen Xian's strong request, Lu Xiaochai's master and servant lived in the bedroom on the west side, while Chen Xian lay on the small couch in the study on the east side.

He tucked his mattress and blew out the candles, smiled and closed his eyes in the darkness, trying to listen to the sparse whispers coming from there.

"Miss...... Gong Chen, Young Master, does he really want to ......?"

Lu Xiaochai pursed his lips and lay on the bed, looking at the tent beam above his head in a daze, and replied softly: "Xiaoliang, don't think about it, the official should be impulsive, this kind of thing is not in line with the etiquette law, the official is a scholar, and he will regret it when he thinks about it tomorrow......"

"But the young master is not an ordinary reader, not only is his poetry and writing the best in the world, but he is also handsome...... What's more, where would other scholars make such a horrific act today......"

"Yes, he, he is the best reader in the world......" Lu Xiaochai said this, suddenly closed his eyes, urged: "What do you want to do so much, go to bed quickly......"

……

When he woke up the next morning, Chen Xian felt the benefits of Lu Xiaochai entering the house, the melodious guqin woke him up gently, Xiaoli had already poured hot water into the basin, waited for him to wash his face, and Lu Xiaochai came over to comb his black hair.

Previously, Sister-in-law Cui wanted to do these jobs, but Chen Xian was indeed a little awkward, so she repeatedly banned them.

But now, he can't ban it, and he doesn't want to ban it......

After eating a simple but beautiful breakfast, Liu Sen had already prepared a carriage, rented two other carriages with thick curtains, and waited outside the window of the inverted room.

Chen Xian, Lu Xiaochai's master and servant, Su Xinqi and Yue Zheng's family waited in the courtyard for a while, and Mi Yun and Fan Dingbo were late.

"Brother Xing!" Fan Dingbo arched his hand, it was regarded as saying hello, and even shook the folding fan and teased: "Brother Mi had to go and say hello to Miss Xiangyun this morning before coming over, so that it was too late to even get involved!" ”

"Haha!" Chen Xian smiled: "Dingbo is also here, and it just happened to be lively along the way." ”

A group of nine people got on three carriages, walked all the way east along the bamboo pole alley, and walked for a long time, until they passed through the Chunqing Gate to calculate the city of Hangzhou.

Hangzhou is only a short hundred miles away from Songjiang, and it would be faster if it were by water, but perhaps for similar reasons as Yue Zheng's escape, it was difficult to find even a small fishing boat, let alone a passenger boat that could accommodate nine of them at a time, so they had to choose the most bumpy land route.

As soon as he drove out of Hangzhou Mansion and drove onto the official road, he saw that the weeds and dead trees on the side of the road had sent out green shoots, and the sunlight was more intense than in previous days, Chen Xian was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the Oiran Contest on the fifteenth day was already a sting, as the saying goes, "When the time comes, the yang rises, and the sky is warmer", and now it is the twenty-third and it is less than ten days away from the spring equinox, and the spring has already been established.

There are not many pedestrians on the pipes, and occasionally a few farmers or hawkers pass by with their burdens, and everything seems peaceful and quiet.

Chen Xian sighed softly, although he couldn't remember the specific time, but ...... The disaster from Warat, which almost ruined the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty, is afraid that it is also approaching as quietly as this spring, right?

Lu Xiaochai saw that his brows were furrowed, and he shook his head and sighed from time to time, so he asked softly, "Chen Lang, what are you worried about?" ”

"I'm worried about whether anything will happen because of my appearance...... Chen Xian said this, looking at Lu Xiaochai's face full of confusion, he took her hand and said with a smile: "I don't know if it's good or bad?" Or, am I thinking too much? ”

Butterfly effect...... This is something that Chen Xian has been worrying about, he just wanted to be an ordinary idle nobleman, and he had nothing to do to invent and create...... But this damn God, he actually let himself just come to this era, and he met the man who turned the tide and defended the capital and changed his life for the Ming Dynasty!
