It is almost the end of the year, and the construction of the military camp on the side of Nanshan has been completed, and eleven officers and eight sergeants will marry their brides at the same time today.

In ancient times, marriage was more important than wealth, and the so-called "marriage on wealth, the way of the captive", this expression expressed people's contempt for marriage on wealth. The elegant saying of a woman marrying is called "Yu Gui", the standard term for a man to marry a wife is called "complete marriage", a woman marrying a man is called "the wish of Ziping", and there are elegant names such as "Xu Ying" and "Goose Coin" in the dowry, these specific terms are the iconic symbols on the cumbersome wedding ceremony, indicating that the world is extremely serious about marriage, so that marriage is truly endowed with the connotation of "lifelong event", "rather demolish a temple than destroy a marriage", so that the attitude of maintaining the long-term marriage has a strong support of social culture and public order and good customs. Family stability has laid a realistic foundation for social stability.

The people in the north are simple, which saves a lot of trouble for the "marriage" of nineteen officers and sergeants, but the wedding etiquette is still indispensable, and Zhu Qiming, as a special guest, was invited to Donghe Village to participate in the woman's wedding banquet.

He sat alone on the side of a big case, and at the bottom table sat the elders of the village, as well as the chief and the head of the first who came to congratulate him after hearing the news. Ah Xiang's parents came to salute and went to greet the guests.

Ah Xiang is inconvenient to show up today, occasionally appeared by the door of the inner room, and was looked at by Zhu Qiming, I have to say that once dressed, Ah Xiang is still quite attractive, especially a pair of eyes, clear and bright, giving people a deep impression, quite a "embroidered curtain open, a little bright moon peeking at people" charm.

Shi Feng, this guy is lucky! Hmph, I married a cheap beauty, and I didn't come to block the wine for this king, white-eyed wolf! Zhu Qiming muttered to himself, he couldn't stand the repeated persuasion of the elders, the lieutenant chief, and the head of Jia, he didn't eat a bite of food, but the wine was several times in a row, and if he drank it at this pace, he had to be drunk and lose his temper.

Shi Feng, who came to greet him, was wearing bright new clothes, very decent, Zhou Zheng, standing not far from the door, facing the pleasing "difficulty" of a group of aunts and children, he smirked vigorously, so happy that he was afraid that no one would forget the surname of the old man.

By the way, who is the surname of the old moon?

Seeing that Zhu Qiming spoke kindly and had no pretensions, several elderly people became more and more courageous, and one of them, an old man with a childish face, stood up very neatly.

"Dare to ask if the general has a family?"

"Please sit and talk." Zhu Qiming was embarrassed to declare his single status, and wanted to lie that he had already married a wife and had children. "I haven't married yet."

Outside the window, a group of lively little children laughed when they heard this, and a half-sized man crossed his waist and said disdainfully: "It's not good to be a general, I can't marry a wife, I won't be a general when I grow up, and if I want to be a thousand households, just like Brother Shi Feng." ”

Hurry back and flip through the book, and see who is bigger and who is smaller, the general and the thousand households, little brat! Zhu Qiming was happy in his heart, and he laughed to himself.

An old man with a clear face glanced out of the window, looked back at Zhu Qiming with a smile, "The general is handsome, and there is no woman around to take care of him, so how can it be done?" ”

Woman? Zhu Qiming remembered the scene of going to the Red Castle to meet Yang Hong that day, when he was leaving, an officer planned to give him two beauties, but he refused, this is not that he is hypocritical, but that life is facing too many trade-offs, the law of conservation of energy works at any time and in any field, there must be some to give, and the woman who is privately offered by the official is a concubine, which is strictly forbidden by the "Emperor Ming Zuxun", and private misconduct is the way to take trouble! Not only do you want to open a harem everywhere and live a happy life, but also want to win the world bravely and live a prosperous life, such a good thing does not exist at all, unless you are lucky to go evil, and you can see gold bricks falling from the sky when you go out!

What's more, he has an obsession in his heart, and he just wants to stay with Xi Yao's sister for a long time, be in harmony with each other, recite poems correctly, look at the small characters on the red note, and make up the window of Xuan, and have a happy life. As for whether he could fit other women in his heart, he didn't think about it, at least except for Lu Xiyao, he hadn't met a second woman who could make his heart move.

The old man with a childish face opened his mouth again: "With the general's demeanor, I am afraid that there are few women in the world who can match." Well, a few months ago, the old Xu family in the village adopted an adopted daughter, who looked beautiful and beautiful, and knew how to read and know etiquette, in terms of age and appearance, she was very compatible with the general, but at the end of October, this woman left a letter and a sum of silver, and said goodbye. Alas, alas! ”

Saihan? For some reason, Zhu Qiming immediately thought of Saihan when he heard this, and his mood immediately fell.

"It's a pity!" The lieutenant chief, who had not said a word for a long time, finally spoke, "Uncle Lin, I remember that this woman seems to have taken a strange name." ”

"It's a little weird." The old man with a childish face nodded, "Her name is ······ Oh, by the way, her name is Nian Ming, Nian Nian, Nian Ming, well, it doesn't sound like a girl's name. ”

Dare to offend the name of this king, bold! Zhu Qiming wanted to get erect, but his body didn't listen to his call, he stayed there for a long time, stretched out one hand to the wine cup, and drank it all.

······

"Congratulations to Sister Concubine Zhou for giving birth to a prince!"

The Qin family went to Changning Palace to congratulate and sent a large amount of congratulatory gifts.

With the support of the green calyx, Concubine Zhou sat up from the couch and greeted the Qin family to take a seat. "My sister is coming and sitting next to me. Green calyx, serve tea quickly! ”

"Huh!" The green calyx answered, and almost half-ran out of the inner room.

The Qin clan stepped forward and took a seat, raising his eyes and looking around, "Eh, where is the prince?" I'd love to see him. ”

"At the nurse's." Concubine Zhou took Qin's hand, "It's all my sister's fault, I listened to other people's bewitchment in the past, and I talked nonsense, I accidentally hurt my sister, and my sister is here to compensate you." ”

Qin smiled, "My sister has long forgotten about this, why did my sister mention it?" Now that you and I are mothers, we have our own children to take care of, how can we care about the old things? ”

"My sister is very right!" Concubine Zhou looked around and lowered her voice, "Sister has to remind my sister, the palace is not as good as the people, and people's hearts are unpredictable!" My sister lived in seclusion in Changning Palace for several months, and she didn't dare to go out half a step, just because we have children and are always remembered by others······" Seeing that Green Calyx had served tea recently, he hurriedly said: "Green Calyx, go to the nurse to guard it, don't let her accidentally carry the prince out!" ”

After the green calyx left, Concubine Zhou Xu realized that her words were too straightforward, and smiled slightly embarrassedly, "Sister, you have to keep an eye on the treasury of the Shanggong Bureau, someone may beat those silver ideas in order to invite pets!" ”

The Qin family glanced at Concubine Zhou with deep meaning, "My sister is in charge of the treasury of the Shang Palace Bureau on behalf of the Empress Dowager, but it is just a trustee, and sooner or later the silver will be in charge of the queen mother." ”

Concubine Zhou was shocked, and after she eased her expression, she became more attentive to the Qin family during her conversation.
