Chapter 164: Wang Jinxuan's bearing
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Songjiang is a member of the week, quick in thinking, loyal and filial piety, and the queen of Wang Lun's royal capital, Jinglu, graceful, beautiful and light. Zhou Zhong and the daughter of the Wang family have already been engaged, because of filial piety can not get married, I heard that it is very unbearable, hereby decree to give marriage, order Er and the other two to get married immediately, Qin! ”
Wang Lun stood in front of the north gate of Songjiang City, loudly reading out the content of the holy decree, while Zhou Zhong and Wang Jinxuan knelt in front of him, but when the two of them heard the content of the holy decree, they were all shocked, and almost at the same time turned their heads to look at each other, and they both saw a bit of incredible looks in each other's eyes.
At the beginning, when Wang Lun asked Zhou Zhong and Wang Jinxuan to kneel down to listen to the decree, the two of them were still a little inexplicable, and they couldn't understand how it would be their turn to receive the decree, but the two of them still knelt down according to their words, but they didn't expect that Emperor Zhengde gave them a holy decree to give marriage, and let them get married immediately, without giving the two any time to prepare.
"Congratulations to Brother Wang, congratulations to Gongzi Zhou! To be able to let His Majesty personally issue the holy decree of marriage, this is not only an honor for the two of you, but also an honor for the people of our entire Songjiang Mansion! Just as Wang Lun finished reading out the holy decree, Governor Xu immediately brought the local officials of Songjiang Mansion to congratulate him.
Speaking of which, when these people in the Xu Governor's Mansion heard that His Majesty the Emperor had given Zhou Zhong and Wang Jinxuan a marriage, they were also shocked at first, but then they looked at Wang Lun with a look of awe in their eyes, after all, in the eyes of most people, the reason why His Majesty the Emperor gave marriage must have been for the sake of Wang Lun's face, not to mention that Wang Lun was escorted away by Jinyi Guard. But now he was sent back by Jinyiwei, and he was reinstated, so it can be seen that Wang Lun must be deeply favored by His Majesty, so His Majesty will love the house and give the holy decree of marriage.
However, Zhou Chong didn't care about what others thought at this time, he only felt that his mind was blank now, and his mouth was also extremely bitter, God knows how the Zhengde Emperor suddenly cared about himself as a little person, and he also made a marriage, which made the relationship between himself and Xie Lingyun and Wang Jinxuan even more chaotic, and even now Zhou Chong even had the heart to die headlong.
In addition to the weight of the week. Wang Jinxuan is the other protagonist of the marriage. is also at a loss, when she saw her father come back, she was ready to break off the marriage contract with Zhou Chong, although she already had quite feelings for Zhou Chong in her heart. is also very reluctant to cancel the marriage contract with Zhou Chong. But she also didn't want to see Zhou Zhong embarrassed. In addition, during the period when his father Wang Lun had an accident. Zhou Chong also ran before and after, Wang Jinxuan thought in her heart that she owed Zhou Chong a favor, so now canceling the marriage contract makes it no longer difficult for Zhou Chong to choose. It can be regarded as a return of thoughtful favors.
It's a pity that the so-called providence makes people, Wang Jinxuan never thought that the marriage contract that had been abandoned was completely reversed because of a holy decree issued by His Majesty the Emperor, and now her marriage to Zhou Chong is a foregone conclusion, unless it is to disobey the holy order, there will definitely be no other situation.
Thinking of this, Wang Jinxuan couldn't help but turn her head to look at Zhou Zhong with a worried face, but when she saw the other party standing there with a blank face, she felt a pain in her heart for some reason, and tears almost fell out.
Fortunately, at this time, Wang Lun was surrounded by those officials of the Xu Governor's Mansion, but he did not find the strange situation of Zhou Zhong and Wang Jinxuan, and Wang Lun was entangled with the people who greeted him for a long time, and finally entered Songjiang City, and at this time Zhou Chong finally came to his senses, and got into the carriage with Wang Jinxuan, preparing to go to the palace to see Wang Lun first.
The carriage sat opposite Wang Jinxuan last week, and the two didn't speak at first, in fact, they didn't know what to say at this time, and even Zhou Chong had a very embarrassing feeling when facing Wang Jinxuan.
"Brother Zhou, we should not have happened to you and Lingyun, and don't tell your father, okay?" After a long time, suddenly Wang Jinxuan plucked up the courage to speak lightly, but when she said these words, her flower-like face was blushing.
Zhou Chong was stunned at first when he heard this, but then he couldn't help but be slightly moved, although Wang Jinxuan's words were not much, but they revealed two meanings, the first is that she is willing to marry Zhou Chong in accordance with the holy decree of marriage, and she is not to blame Zhou Chong and Xie Lingyun's affairs, and the second meaning is to hide Wang Lun's desire to withdraw from the marriage, after all, if Wang Lun really knows about this matter, I am afraid that Zhou Chong will inevitably be scolded, and it may even lead to a rift between Wang Lun and Zhou Chong.
Wang Jinxuan lowered her head and waited for a while, and when she felt that Zhou Zhong on the other side was still silent, she saw her biting her lip lightly, and then said in a trembling voice: "Jinxuan also knows that Brother Zhou and Lingyun have no wife, if you leave Lingyun alone, your heart will definitely be uneasy, so ...... Therefore, if Brother Zhou is willing, Jinxuan wants Brother Shi to marry Lingyun as a wife, and in the future, in the inner house, Jinxuan and Lingyun are no different, and Brother Shi thinks that it is ...... What do you think? ”
When Wang Jinxuan said that she was the last, she also shed a few tears aggrievedly, and her voice trembled even more, as a woman, she naturally didn't want to share her husband with other women, but now that His Majesty has given marriage, no matter what happens in the future, she can only be Zhou Chong's wife, since she is a wife, she should show the bearing of a wife, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal to accept a Xie Lingyun. But thinking like this, when Wang Jinxuan really said this, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
"Jinxuan! I ......" Zhou Chong saw Wang Jinxuan saying the above words, her slender shoulders were trembling slightly, and two lines of big tears also fell from her face, which shows how wronged she was in her heart, which made Zhou Chong also can't help but rise an impulse, reached out and grabbed Wang Jinxuan's hands, so excited that he couldn't even speak, and Wang Jinxuan felt that his hands were surrounded by a pair of warm big hands, which made her heart shy, and she didn't break away after two struggles, so she lowered her head and let Zhou Chong grab her hand.
However, after Zhou Chong was excited, he couldn't help but have a headache again, now there is no problem on Wang Jinxuan's side, but how should he tell Xie Lingyun about this? Although the name of the flat wife is very good, in the eyes of most people, it is just a concubine with a higher status, and it cannot be compared with the main wife at all.
By the time Zhou Chong and Wang Jinxuan arrived at the palace, Wang Lun had already arrived home at this time, and Wang Jinxuan did not mention anything about Zhou Chong and Xie Lingyun as agreed before. However, as soon as the three of them said a few words, Xu Guan came to the banquet on behalf of the officials of Songjiang Mansion to entertain Wang Lun, which made Wang Lun shirk it, so he had to temporarily hand over the affairs of the family to Zhou Chong, especially to explain that he must entertain those brocade guards on his behalf.
Seeing Wang Lun leaving, Zhou Chong also felt relieved, and now when he faced Wang Lun, he always had a feeling of weakness, at this time Wang Jinxuan called the housekeeper of the Wang family and asked him to take Zhou Chong to meet those brocade guards, and Wang Jinxuan himself returned to the boudoir after a long absence. Before, she only went to Shuangyu Port to take refuge, but now that Wang Lun is back, Wang Jinxuan will naturally live at home.
Zhou Zhong followed the Wang family's family to an inn not far from the Wang family, there were more than 100 people in the entire Jinyi Guard, although the area of the palace was not small, but it could not accommodate so many people, so these Jinyi Guards were all arranged in the inn.
This inn is called Penglai Inn, and it is also a famous inn in the entire Songjiang Mansion, when Zhou re-entered the hall of the inn, it turned out that the entire hall was already full of brocade guards, all of whom were eating and drinking, and the shopkeeper and the guys in the inn were busy coming and going, with a careful smile on their faces, for fear of accidentally causing trouble.
"Go out, this inn has been chartered by us, don't want to cause trouble and hurry up!" As soon as Zhou Chong entered the hall, he saw a Jinyi Wei officer on a table in the middle of the hall and reprimanded loudly, since the last time Jinyi Wei inquired about his news, Zhou Chong made up for the knowledge of Jinyiwei, judging from the clothes worn by the other party, the other party should be one of the hundred households who came with Wang Lun this time.
"This hundred families have misunderstood, and the late Zhou Zhong was entrusted by Uncle Wang to entertain you!" Zhou Zhong said with a smile at this time, he didn't want to offend these Jinyi guards too much.
However, just as Zhou Chong had just introduced himself, he saw that the brocade guard who scolded him squirted out the wine in his mouth at once, and then hurriedly stood up and apologized to Zhou Chong: "I didn't expect you to be Zhou Gongzi, Wu is rude, I hope Gongzi doesn't blame him!" ”
Zhou Chong saw that the other party's expression changed greatly when he heard his name, and he was still busy apologizing, and another Jinyi Wei Baihu also stood up in shock, looking at him very politely with a smile, which made Zhou Chong also stunned, how could the legendary arrogant Jinyi Wei be so polite to himself?
However, although Zhou Zhong was strange in his heart, he still said very politely: "Lord Baihu is polite!" ”
However, hearing Zhou Chong's words, the brocade-clothed guard Baihu who scolded him had not yet spoken, but the tall and thin Baihu next to him took over and said: "Zhou Gongzi is polite, in Xia Ma Liang, the brother next to me is named Wu Shi, this time I was ordered to come to Songjiang with Lord Wang, just now Brother Wu collided with Gongzi, and I hope that Gongzi has a large number, don't be surprised." ”
Seeing that the other party was still apologizing for the trivial matter just now, this made Zhou Chong a little embarrassed, and immediately said: "Ma Baihu is polite, it was just a trivial matter just now, you don't have to take it to heart, Zhou came this time, I just want to ask you if you are used to living in the inn, if you need anything, just ask Zhou!" ”
"No, no! Thank you Zhou Gongzi for your concern, everything we stayed in the inn was fine! I saw that Ma Baihu was very flattered when he heard this, but then he glanced at Wu Baihu beside him, and immediately said, "Zhou Gongzi, I don't know if you know a person named Wu Shan?"
