At the reception banquet the next day, Cui Yi reprimanded the younger brother in front of everyone, and ordered the personal soldiers guarding the treasury in the mansion to receive thirty military sticks each, and transferred a group of people to be responsible for guarding.

Mr. Ledger was given three months' monthly money, and was directly kicked out of the house, compared to the negligence of the soldiers, his knowledge of not reporting is even worse, in Cui Yi's own words, if such behavior is not severely punished, in the future, the people in the palace will not take Ying as the master, and do things without applying or reporting, so what is the repayment?

Cui Xiang was only fined for one month because he was the prince and half of the master, and no one was allowed to visit without the permission of Cui Yi or Zhiying.

It's okay to be grounded, Cui Xiang didn't like to move around very much, but it would be tragic if no one was allowed to visit, the little prince looked in the courtyard every day, but he couldn't wait for Zhong Luhuan to come, and he didn't even pass by - it was necessary, the side courtyard was used as the residence of the imprisoned madman Princess Xie Yuchan, and it was originally a remote corner, and if it wasn't deliberate, no one would go to the door at all.

So Cui Xiang was in a trance every day, and he didn't continue to eat three meals, and his subordinates came to the main courtyard to report that King Jing didn't eat lunch for breakfast and only drank some chicken soup. ”

Cui Yi was sitting opposite her and buried his head in eating, and when he heard this, he raised his head and said: "Don't care about him, if you like to eat or not, if you don't eat, you can put it away, if it's cold and hot, this king won't believe that he won't live if he can't see Lu Huan, a manly man, he can't pick what he should pick, he can't let go of what he should put down, and he has no interest." ”

"But Huaiyou is the prince's younger brother, and he is even closer than the other brothers, he is not happy, and the prince is not distressed?" Zhiying took a bowl of hot and sour fish soup and took a sip beautifully, "Lu Wan has tested General Yang, knowing that he has someone in his heart, and he doesn't want to force it, horizontal and vertical can't be done, why don't you help Huaiyou?" ”

Cui Yi shook his head very resolutely: "No, firstly, Lu Huan doesn't like him, I promised my second uncle that I will definitely let Lu Wan marry a man she likes, and she is a wife, Huaiyou has already married the Rong family, and I can't destroy Lu Huan anymore." ”

Holding Ying snorted, and then asked: "Then there are two more?" ”

Cui Yi held the soup bowl, his eyes signaled left and right, Xiaoqiu immediately kicked everyone out, and said with Yingqi: "What's wrong?" ”

"Shan Fuzhi said that no matter who Lu Wan fancies, he must not let her marry Huaiyou." Cui Yi lowered his voice and said.

Zhiying was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "That's the reason, if Lu Wan marries Huaiyou, she can't protect the country that the prince has worked so hard to build, and finally becomes a wedding dress for others, but I don't think the second uncle looks like such a person." ”

Cui Yi asked: "He bought back a large number of privately made arrows from Xuanzhou, have you heard?" ”

Zhiying nodded, and Cui Yi said again: "The Ye family has already tested the second uncle, although I don't know how the second uncle answered at the time, but it is certain that he must not refuse, otherwise Xie Xiao would not dare to make so many arrows, in case it is discovered by the imperial brother, it will be a capital crime." ”

"That'...... Just hanging? "Zhiying did prevent Cui Xiang from becoming the second Xie Yong at the beginning, but after a long time, he didn't deal with people very much, and he relaxed again, "Huaiyou, this kid, it's a bit brainless, just from the fact that he refuses to believe in us alive or dead, and would rather run out and get lost alone, it can be seen that he is a person who hits the south wall and may not turn back, as long as Lu Wan is not married for a day, he will not give up for a day, either torturing himself or tossing others." ”

Regarding his younger brother's character, Cui Yi naturally knows better than Zhiying, Cui Xiang looks obedient, but in fact he is very strong, but he will not resist in a fierce way. If according to Shanjian's plan, it is best to arrange for Zhong Luhuan to marry someone else immediately, completely cut off the thoughts of Cui Xiang, the Ye family, and the Xie family, and this person must be able to shock King Jing, so that he does not dare to fight Zhong Luhuan's idea again.

But at present, there are no soldiers in the Yanzhou battalion, one Yang Qiong, one is worried about Cheng Fengyi in Changyao, and one Cao Qian, who will get married in two days, and no one has time to marry the eldest lady of the Zhong family.

After thinking about it, Cui Yi's head was full of smoke and miasma, and he waved his hand irritably: "Don't mention it first, on August 16, Zhongxing will get married, and all officers above the rank of lieutenant can be seated. - Are all the congratulatory gifts ready? ”

Zhiying said with a smile: "I asked someone to prepare some cloth and silk, ten carts of rice and salt, twenty animal skins, and one hundred taels of silver, and I also asked someone to renovate General Cao's residence inside and out, and added a large wardrobe." ”

Cui Yi nodded in satisfaction: "Now that the war has just ended, it is not appropriate to be too extravagant and wasteful, this is almost the same...... Well, I have to add another festive thing, I saw a one-foot-tall red coral in Xie Xiaofu, with a good shape and a festive color, so I took it away, I wanted to leave it for you to put in the house to see, or give it to Zhongxing! ”

"The red coral is just right, the color is festive, and the meaning is also auspicious," Zhiying breathed a sigh of relief, these days she has been worried that there is no flattering mascot in the house, "I don't care about these, the prince will reward General Cao, if the prince has a heart, I will pick a flower on the side of the road and bring it back, I am also happy." ”

Cui Yi let out a long "um" and said, "Then I will wronged you." ”

Holding on to the joy is unbearable: "Not aggrieved." ”

On August 16, the auspicious day of the zodiac, Cao Qian's family affairs were held in Xuanzhou Mansion in a lively manner.

Cao Qian was Cui Yi's henchman, followed him from birth to death for nearly ten years, had a high prestige in the army, came to Yanzhou and worked in farming, and often helped the people in the city to grind and drive to repair the house, loved by the people, early in the morning of the sixteenth day, the door of the house was full of soldiers and people who came to congratulate and watch the excitement, Cao Qian was dressed in a big red robe, wearing a big red flower on his chest, and was surrounded by people and got on the horse, and went to greet his relatives.

Wife Wang's maiden family is a businessman in Yanzhou, the family is well-off, the silk and satin of the marriage are charged with three cars, after the bride gets on the sedan chair, there are eight domestic servants along the road to gift dried fruits and sesame sugar, etc., gongs, drums and suona, the people watch along the way, congratulate each other, and there are many people who have inherited the love with a dustpan with newly picked fruits and vegetables, old altar wine, etc., must be sent to the team to accept.

After passing the door, it is reasonable to worship his parents, but Cao Qian's parents are in Jiangzhou, and they can't come, so they are accepted by Cui Yi and Zhiying, Cao Qian's face is full of spring, and he is happy, and he kneels in front of the hall with red silk to lead the bride to kneel and salute.

Bailizan was also dressed in a brand-new master of ceremonies, standing in front of the hall and said loudly: "One kowtow!" ”

The hall is not big, twenty or thirty people are crowded, most of them are soldiers in the army who are good friends with Cao Qian, Yang Qiong and Shan Jian are stationed in Xuanzhou, and they can't come back to congratulate, so they all ask Cui Yi to bring back the congratulatory gifts.

Xu Cheng also came.

His arrival was completely unexpected by Zhiying, and it was a couple of newcomers who were responsible for sending the invitation, she was pregnant and could not ask in detail about everything, at this time she saw Xu Cheng come to congratulate her, and she was startled at first, but when she found that Bailizan did not show a surprised look at all, she smiled and understood.

Xu Cheng, dressed in civilian clothes, crossed the threshold and came in with both hands and fists to congratulate: "Zhongxing!" Congratulations! Cao Qian looked back and saw that it was him, and he was also overjoyed, and hurriedly asked his wife to salute, and took wine to drink with him.

"General Xu, don't come unharmed? Is Xu Lao in good health? After the politeness between them, the bride went back to the cave room to wait, and Cao Qian also went to the front yard to toast in the banquet, Zhiying got up with Xiaoqiu's support, and stepped forward to greet with a smile.

"Thanks to the prince's wife's Hong Fu, my father's health is much better." Xu Cheng saluted the two of them again.

Cui Yi was also very happy to see him coming: "This king is now a chaotic minister and thief, a sinner of Da Chu, but you are still willing to come to congratulate Zhong on the joy of the wedding, this king is very grateful to you, come and drink a few cups together!" ”

Zhiying was about to set up a stage for Bailizan, so she excused herself to be a little tired and went back to the palace first, Cui Yi was not suspicious, and only told Xiaoqiu to accompany her carefully, and then she went to drink with Xu Cheng shoulder to shoulder.

Everyone went to the next door to drink the wedding wine, and it was rare quiet in the palace, Zhiying returned to the room to rest for a while, and then asked Xiaoqiu to go to the warehouse to get some medicinal materials, put them in boxes, and sent someone to invite Zhong Luhuan.

"Sister, why did you come back so early?" Zhong Luhuan has not yet left the pavilion, so it is inconvenient to go to eat and drink, so she only stays in the house, "Have something to do with me?" ”

Zhiying leaned on the couch and played the fan, Zhong Luhuan sat down next to her and took the fan: "I'll come." "Gently donate wind for her.

Zhiying said: "There is something to trouble you." Xiaoqiu came back at this time, holding a box containing medicinal herbs in his hand, "General Cao got married today, I didn't expect General Xu to come, his father used to be a pastor in Yanzhou, guarding this desolate border pass for Dachu for 20 years, and now he is resigned at home, but his health is not very good, I prepared some medicinal materials at the beginning of the year, and I have never had the opportunity to ask someone to send them over, it just so happens that he came, just let him take it back, it's just ......"

Zhong Luhuan saw her tired face, her fingers against her temples, she would come to her senses and take the initiative to ask: "General Cao's wedding, the gongs and drums are noisy outside, even I can hear it in the house, my sister is pregnant and afraid of noise, I must be tired at this time, I'll send things for my sister!" ”

Zhiying took the box and handed it to her, blinked lightly, and whispered: "Although General Xu is not as good-looking as General Yang, he is also a battle-hardened heroic man, you go and take a look, if you like it, my sister will help you keep him." ”

Zhong Luhuan's face was flushed, and he was stunned for a while, got up and said, "Then sister have a good rest, I'll come back when I go." ”

Zhong Luwan went, Xiaoqiu closed the door, and only then did she come over and ask, "Madam, what if the cousin girl doesn't like General Xu, or General Xu has already had a crush?" ”

"The world cannot be forced, if they are happy with each other, it is a good thing, if they look down on each other, it doesn't matter, do their best, obey the destiny of heaven." Zhiying lazily closed her eyes, looking very tired.

Xiaoqiu squatted on the edge of the couch and beat her legs, and said: "It would be good if the cousin girl and General Xu were together, which could not only stabilize the Zhong family, let the uncle follow the prince wholeheartedly, but also cut off the idea of Jing Wangye, and not give the Ye family a chance to take advantage of, and the cousin girl's appearance and temperament are all first-class and good, if she can please General Xu, there will be another person in the prince's hands, it is really good." ”

Zhiying laughed, stretched out his finger and poked her head: "Even you have become a villain, and you can calculate people." ”

Xiaoqiu smiled mischievously: "It's all because the lady is powerful, the slave and maid are familiar with it, and naturally they have learned a little, otherwise she will always be a stupid girl, and the lady will dislike the slave and maid." ”

"I don't dare to dislike you! I've been served by you for so many years, and I've long been used to it," Zhiying deliberately sighed exaggeratedly, "I have to keep you by my side for the rest of my life." ”

Xiaoqiu was anxious, grabbed her leg and shook it coquettishly: "Madam! ”

Zhiying itched and retracted: "Okay, okay, it's really a big girl, who do you like to pick by yourself, or marry you to General Xu?" ”

Xiaoqiu pursed her mouth and pinched her calf: "I'm not the same as my cousin, I don't love those thrilling days, if I want to marry, I will marry a man who has no temper and no great ability, and it is enough to be happy together for the rest of my life." ”

Zhiying smiled faintly, I want to marry a man who has no temper and no great ability, and be happy for a lifetime, it seems simple, but it is an unattainable dream in the hearts of many women.
