At the gate of the barracks, there are craftsmen who come to be busy from the morning, and when the rooster crows three times, the soldiers come out for breakfast only to find that there is a full five or six zhang high color building at the entrance of the barracks, and the big side by side double happiness stands in the middle of the color building, and there are auspicious birds and beasts made of various colored paper around, which are illuminated by the sun, not to mention how good it looks. The bride's carriage and horses passed through here, so the soldiers of the Judge Advocate General's Office stood guard early.
The ground before and after the Cai Lou is paved with layers of thin loess, and there are soldiers who come to clean the water and splash the road, it is really a grand level, today is the day of the officers' wedding, no one has the heart to care about these big soldiers anymore, these soldiers deal with breakfast early, they knocked down the Cai Lou side, hoping to see what kind of fairy these brides are.
Not far away on the playground used for training in the past, the officials of the quartermaster department headed by the third uncle commanded the craftsmen to set up a high platform that was enough for hundreds of people to appear on the stage at the same time, behind the high platform is a three-meter-high wooden background wall, the background wall is first painted with a layer of white paint, and then a huge round red side by side is painted in the middle of the double happiness, such as a round of red sun, the left dragon and the right phoenix constitute the auspicious pattern of the dragon and phoenix, and there are thousands of magpies and countless colorful butterflies around the dragon and phoenix. and countless peony flowers bring the festive atmosphere to the limit.
On the top of the double happiness side by side is the four golden characters of "Fengzhi Linxiang", on the left side of the festive pattern is the golden couplet of "knotting a hundred years of phoenix mandarin duck companion" and on the right is "with all the way to the horse career", and the words are also appropriate.
The groom officers washed naked early, and after the quartermaster department sent the groom's robes, they rushed over like hungry wolves, the models and styles of these clothes are similar, there is no difference, but these young officers are thousands of choices, pick up a pair of pants always feel inappropriate, so they drop it and pull it up again, in fact, the clothes are the same, but everyone is very excited, and they are hoping to express themselves perfectly at this moment.
As soon as the carriage carrying the brides entered the barracks, it attracted countless soldiers to watch, and Mr. Zhao finally followed Liu Shifa's prestige to slowly come to the back of the high platform, and the camp tent prepared for the brides to rest was guarded here by Chang Zhenbang's personal horse and the officials of the Military Justice Department.
When the old mothers in the tent saw the brides come in, they gathered around them and dressed them up.
Chang Zhenbang saw Mr. Zhao coming, won with a smile, and said, "Mr. Zhao has worked hard all the way." ”
Mr. Zhao said with a smile: "The adult is really tormenting the villain, let's do things for the adult, and we can't say it's hard." ”
Chang Zhenbang smiled and said, "Hard work is hard work, Mr. Zhao, if you still come with me like this, then you will see the outside." While speaking, the third uncle rushed over with the men and horses of the quartermaster's department, and the third uncle, who was sweating profusely, said to Chang Zhenbang while wiping his sweat: "My lord, the wine and food, and the banquet have been prepared, just waiting for the auspicious time." Chang Zhenbang said with a smile: "Third uncle has worked hard, go in and rest." The third uncle said: "Your Excellency is polite, although the things have been prepared, but you still have to be prepared for the shortcomings, after all, this is a big matter for the brothers, and you can't be sloppy in the slightest." After the humble came over and finished talking to the adults, he went to make his rounds. After saying that, he arched his hand, and went with the men and horses of the quartermaster's office.
Mr. Zhao looked at the back of the third uncle and said: "The adult handed over this matter to the third uncle, but he really didn't see the wrong person, the third uncle is cheerful, thoughtful, and sophisticated, and he is even more thorough in all aspects, and Zhao sometimes has to admire." What a blessing for adults. ”
Lu Xiaozhu happened to get out of the carriage at this time, Shanshan came to Chang Zhenbang's side, and said to Mr. Zhao: "The third uncle is reliable, but after all, he is unfamiliar with the newcomer, and I hope Mr. Zhao will take more care of him." ”
Mr. Zhao knew that she was Chang Zhenbang's favorite wife, Lu Xiaozhu, and hurriedly said: "Mrs. praised it falsely, the little talent is shallow and depends on the third uncle's support!" ”
Lu Xiaozhu smiled and said, "I have something to say to adults, Mr. Zhao is busy with you." Mr. Zhao hurriedly bowed and turned to the camp to urge the brides to come.
Chang Zhenbang looked at Lu Xiaozhu, who was dressed as a bride, took her hand, and said softly: "Xiaozhu, you look so good in this outfit." Who knew that as soon as Lu Xiaozhu heard this, the faint smile on his face slowly dissipated, and he said coldly: "Why did that woman come back here?" ”
"The woman?" Chang Zhenbang was stunned, a little stunned.
Lu Xiaozhu frowned and said, "It's that Chen Die." I ask you, what is she doing here? I don't want to marry you in front of everyone! ”
Chang Zhenbang was stunned, scratched his head, and said, "Chen Die is here?" I really don't know about this! But even if she comes, the two of us will get married. ”
"That's pretty much it!" Lu Xiaozhu said: "I am a wife, she is a concubine, I can tolerate her for some things, but I can't allow her to come nonsense when crossing the line." ”
Chang Zhenbang gently hugged her waist and said, "Chen Die understands the rules very well, and you have a deep misunderstanding of her. ”
Lu Xiaozhu said aggrievedly: "People are your little wife, she always intervenes in everything, even if people know that she is unintentional, but there are so many horses and maids in the house, it is always bad to see it." ”
Chang Zhenbang said: "Don't be angry, you are a bride today." It's not nice to be angry. Lu Xiaozhu's face turned red and hammered him, and said: "It's not that you hurt others, the old husband and wife are still here, how embarrassing it is." Chang Zhenbang hugged her and said: "The last time I got married, I was too hasty, and my father was not present, I always feel that I owe you something. Lu Xiaozhu was very happy to hear this, and when he was talking and laughing with Chang Zhenbang and was happy, Dong Zhen hurriedly came over and said, "Madam, the auspicious time is coming, let's go in and touch up our makeup." ”
As soon as Lu Xiaozhu heard this, he hurriedly bounced out of Chang Zhenbang's arms, took Dong Zhen's hand, and entered the camp.
Chang Zhenbang was about to turn around to change into his groom's clothes, but Chang Lao took Sakura and Chen Die under the leadership of Zhang Youneng and walked towards him leisurely, he was busy asking for peace, Chang Lao's face darkened when he saw him, and said: "Beast, you did a good thing!" As soon as Chang Zhenbang heard this, he knew that it was for him and Chen Die's affairs, so he hurriedly knelt in front of Master Chang and said: "Father, please calm your anger, I have already agreed to make peace with Chen Die when I was in Wenxian, I don't want my father to recognize her as a daughter, so that Lun Chang is confused, who knows that Chen Die is already pregnant with Liujia, and it is impossible for his son to turn a blind eye, so he recognized her as a concubine, this is really his son's fault, if the son said it in advance, he would never make his father so embarrassed!" He also asked his father to punish him. ”
Master Chang picked up the civilization stick in his hand and twitched Chang Zhenbang's junior a few times, Chen Die saw it, hurriedly pounced, and lay on Chang Zhenbang's back, begging: "Father, all the mistakes are Fluttershy's fault, if Fluttershy knows that you are Zhenbang's father, she will never dare to hope to be your daughter, and I hope that my father will forgive Zhenbang this time for the sake of the child in Fluttershy's womb." Master Chang looked at Chen Die's bulging belly, and remembered Chen Die's father's love for saving him, he couldn't help but shake his head, sighed, and said, "This is all unjust!" Okay, for grandson's sake, I'll spare you once. ”
Chen Die immediately pulled Chang Zhenbang up from the ground, held his stomach with one hand, and gently squatted down to pat the soil for Chang Zhenbang, Miss Sakura hurriedly helped her up, and said, "Mrs. Chen Die, you are pregnant now, you must not be like this." Master Chang also came over and said, "Fluttershy can't help this, now that you're expensive, you can't move the fetus." Chen Die hummed at this time, indicating that he knew. Master Chang turned around, put the civilized stick in his hand on Chang Zhenbang's shoulder, and said, "Boy, Fluttershy is so affectionate to you, you have to treat people well, and you must not let them down." ”
Chang Zhenbang said: "My son knows. ”
"Fluttershy's life is hard, he has no mother since he was a child, his father sacrificed his life to save him as a father, this kind of kindness is never forgotten, and now that he is pregnant with your child, I think the status of a concubine is too light, it is better to count her as a flat wife!" Master Chang said lightly: "I'll just salute the three of you later." ”
"Father, this is not in order!" Chen Die glanced at Chang Zhenbang very happily and said sweetly.
Chang Zhenbang also has feelings for Chen Die, but now that he is pregnant, he can't touch it, and outsiders don't seem to be favored, but he still likes it deeply in his heart, and Chang Zhenbang naturally won't refuse Chang Lao's request, and even felt very surprised, his father, who flaunted the old morality in the past, would also think of such thoughts, which shows what status Chen Die has in the old man's heart.
In fact, this is also very understandable, Chen Die is his goddaughter, even if she marries his son, she can't become a concubine, which not only can't explain to Chen Die's father who died for him, but also makes people look down on him, so he made an exception to let Chang Zhenbang marry her as a flat wife, the so-called flat wife is a kind of kinship title under the polygamy system, and more than one wife is called a flat wife, that is, both of them are big wives, and they are also called opposite rooms, that is, they are equal to the main house. Unlike concubines, ordinary wives do not need to give concubine salutes to their wives, but their actual status is still inferior to that of Yuan Match, and Chen Die still has to call Lu Xiaozhu her sister.
Master Chang sighed and said, "It's been out of line for a long time, and you don't have to care about this time, you go down and dress up first, don't let people look down on you!" ”
"Yes, father." Chen Die lowered her head and said, Sakura came over and helped her into the camp.
