A few days later, officials from the Ministry of Rites came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and said that the auspicious date for the new Nanjing garrison admiral Li Dingguo and the Snow Maiden had been set, and the date was set on the eighth day of the second lunar month.

These days, Ruxue has also been living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, with Fang Ling, Du Ningning, and Yun Niang as companions, waiting for the marriage date with Li Dingguo, Ruxue is also a homeless person, Wang Lanping thinks she is a righteous sister, and she can be regarded as having a maiden family.

The wedding was simple but grand, the old palace maid invited from the Forbidden City handled it single-handedly, and the prime minister's marriage to the righteous sister was also a big event, and the prime minister's mansion was also jubilant for the past two days.

Ruxue is also a natural beauty, staying in the palace for seven or eight years, although she is a palace maid, but it is also the personal attendant of the lord, she doesn't have to do the general rough work and dirty work, she is well maintained, today out of the cabinet, Fang Ling's pair of skillful hands on her slightly dressed up to make Ruxue even more visible, dressed in a big red wedding dress, with a red hijab on her head, the people inside are even more blushing and heartbeat, waiting for Li Dingguo's sedan chair to come.

Looking at Ruxue's dress, it made the three women in the prime minister's mansion a little disappointed, I am afraid that there is no chance to have this kind of opportunity, Wang Lanping will not marry them, and as a concubine, she will never be able to understand what it is like to be carried into her husband's house by a big red sedan chair.

Today, Prime Minister Wang specially gave all the old brothers a day off, and everyone gathered at Li Dingguo's mansion to wait to see the bride.

Riding a high head and wearing a red horse, Li Dingguo arched his hand all the way to the onlookers, and he was so happy that his mouth was not closed, and when he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, according to the custom, the bride had to cry three in and three out, which was to say goodbye to her family and brothers, but Ruxue had no relatives in Nanjing, and Wang Chengxiang could only be regarded as her brother-in-law, but one thing moved Ruxue, according to etiquette, the bride could not touch the ground when she left her mother's house and got on the sedan chair. The bride's brother had to carry him out, and this responsibility could only fall on Wang Lanping.

Li Dingguo married, Wang Lanping was happy in his heart, and waved his hand, there is no official position today, only brotherhood. Immediately, he carried it like snow and sent it to the big red sedan chair at the door.

Li Dingguo and his wife were warm in their hearts for a while, they had to be like this, the grace was higher than the sky, and after a thousand thanks, the gongs and drums were noisy, the firecrackers roared, and the welcoming team turned around and went to the Li Mansion, according to local customs. The relatives of this mother's family could not attend the man's wedding, so Wang Lanping did not go with him, but just called the method over and prepared a sedan chair.

After worshipping heaven and earth, the wine banquet in Li's mansion was big, and most of the people who came were all generals under Wang Lanping, and they drank so much that the sky was dark, but one person kept his head drooping. There I drank alone, glass after glass. He is Song Xian, whose beloved was occupied by Wang Lanping.

Today's Li Dingguo is really happy, he was so poured by Song Dali and Fang Guoan that he couldn't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, if he didn't think that he would have to go to the cave room for a while, he might have to let him lie under the table on the spot.

More than halfway through the banquet. Li Dingguo led the bride to toast the guests at each table one by one, and most of the people present were from military backgrounds, and they were not ashamed to speak out, and they could make Ruxue blushing as soon as they opened their mouths, but fortunately, Ruxue didn't care. After staying with the bandits in the mountains for so long, she also heard these jokes that were not light or serious.

When it was Song Xian's turn to toast at this table, Song Xian was still sulking there, Li Dingguo toasted him, but he made a toast alone, and after drinking, he put the cup aside and said casually, "Congratulations, I am in the next young company, there is still something in the army, so I will leave first"

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, making Li Dingguo unable to get off the stage.

Song Dali laughed out loud on the side, shouting, "Haha, Brother Song Xian is touching the scene, his daughter-in-law doesn't know which mother-in-law's belly is pregnant."

Everyone laughed, but no one had malicious intentions, and everyone was used to joking with each other, but today's events made Song Xian unable to accept such a joke, but he couldn't have a seizure, gritted his teeth and glared at Song Dali, and turned around to leave.

But I didn't expect to just arrive at the door, but I saw the method and walked in.

Song Xian saw that it was him, so he arched his hand and didn't stop, "Guard Fang, you're here too."

He hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, "General Song, you are leaving, the wedding banquet is not over yet."

Song Xian didn't have a good breath and said, "I can't drink enough, and I still have military affairs, so I'm leaving."

The method still stopped him, he was Prime Minister Wang's close guard, and everyone gave him three points of face, and the method was handed over to Li Dingguo in the hall, "Congratulations to Admiral Li on his wedding anniversary, the little one sent a congratulatory gift on the order of the prime minister, and the prime minister is inconvenient to come for the brother of the Snow Maiden, but the prime minister said that he and the general have a comradeship in private, and this gift cannot be missing"

Li Dingguo and his wife hurriedly stepped forward to return the courtesy, Li Dingguo said, "The prime minister's affection is difficult to repay the couple in case of emergency, how dare you let the prime minister break the bank"

The method smiled, "Admiral Li, don't think too much, you will definitely accept this gift, come, come in"

Everyone in the hall gathered around, wanting to see what kind of gift the prime minister had given, but they saw a group of people walking in from outside the gate of Li's house, all dressed in festive costumes, some holding trays, some holding flags, no matter how everyone looked at it, it looked like the honor guard of a certain official.

Before everyone could guess it, he took out a big red post from the tray of the person on the side and preached loudly, "Li Dingguo, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, is the Marquis of Zhongyi."

This thing is obviously only allowed by the emperor, and it is indeed ordered by the emperor himself, but the method is not shouted like this, and the emperor and other royal names are directly skipped one by one, so there is no need to kneel down to receive the decree, only to say that it is a congratulatory gift from the prime minister.

Li Dingguo was stunned, Yu Ruxue glanced at each other, Ruxue's mood was not to mention how happy, but she didn't expect that she was born as a maid but married a marquis by mistake.

Song Dali couldn't close his mouth when he heard it, and the courtyard was silent for a while, only to hear Song Dali muttering to himself, "Okay, Li Dingguo, brother, I was born and died with the prime minister, and I didn't even get an earl, your kid not only married a new daughter-in-law, but also directly got a loyal marquis, and I was envious of death."

Everyone woke up like a dream and congratulated Li Dingguo in unison.

Method pointed to the people who came with him, "Zhongyi Hou, these people will be your Houye's honor guard from today onwards, the prime minister said, you can take them out anytime, anywhere." Congratulations again to Lord Hou, congratulations to Mrs. Hou Zhongyi, I wish you a hundred years of good togetherness and eternal marriage"

Li Dingguo was floating in the clouds, and he still reacted quickly like snow, "The labor guards thanked the prime minister for our couple." Don't even stand still, come in and have a glass of wine."

The method said, "There is still a happy event to be done, so I won't bother and say goodbye."

The method turned around, but Song Xian didn't leave, nor did he stay, not to mention how embarrassing it was. Xiangye is really, there are so many beauties in the world, why do you fancy Li Xiangjun, you want so many women, but brother, I only have Li Xiangjun.

The method approached Song Xian, "General Song, everyone is happy, you are not good." Are you still angry with Xiangye?"

Song Xian didn't have a good air, "How dare you?"

"Listen to the tone. Come, put this on" method beckoned to a person, who was holding a big red robe in his hand, like a wedding dress, but now this thing is the last thing Song Xian wants to see, and Tai Ni is eye-catching. He glanced at it and looked no more.

The method then turned back to the crowd, "Everyone, in addition to today's day of great joy for you, there is another happy event that you have to pay attention to, the commander of the Yulin Left Guard." General Song Xian, who is officially named General Longhu and General, is also going to marry a daughter-in-law, guess who this bride is"

When Song Xian heard this, he hurriedly said, "What? Who are you talking about? I? ”

Method smiled, "You, spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, you think Xiangye too badly, is he such a person who takes people's wives, go out and see, who is in the sedan chair"

Song Xian was stunned for a moment, pulled out his legs and ran out of the door, and came back in a blink of an eye, his face was so happy that he even looked up, but he was holding a bride in his arms who was also dressed in a wedding dress, it was none other than Li Xiangjun, who fascinated thousands of men.

Song Dali was so shocked that his jaw fell to the ground, and he hurriedly rushed out to look at Li Xiangjun carefully, it was really her, he couldn't help but say, "I|, the prime minister will send it out when it's finished."

The method is straightforward, "General Song, don't talk nonsense, since the Xiangjun girl entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister has not been to see her, the Prime Minister learned that General Song Xian and the Xiangjun girl are in love, so he decided to do this month old, adult beauty, but it cost five thousand taels of silver, the prime minister is not rich, so I also gave a few pieces of jewelry to my sister, that, General Song Xian, this is the Xiangjun girl's deed of redemption, it belongs to you, the Xiangye said, the reason why he didn't send the Xiangjun girl over for the first time, that is the girl's meaning, she wants to try your heart, Xiangye is sandwiched between the two of you, how many rumors have been suffered, now it's okay, everything is sunny after the rain, and the two stays are back."

Song Xian looked down at the beauty in his arms, and Li Xiangjun nodded coquettishly.

"The prime minister is too interesting, don't worry, I will definitely return the silver to the prime minister, brother Dingguo, there is still a rich room in your house, don't you borrow a room from the brother's hole"

Song Xian, who was overjoyed, also spoke incoherently, causing everyone to laugh in the hall.

Li Dingguo didn't think about it, and directly pointed to the cave room where he and Ruxue lived, "Over there"

Song Xian ran to the backyard with Li Xiangjun in his arms, and shouted in a timely manner, "Send it to the cave room!" ”

But at this time, Ruxue pulled Li Dingguo, "Then, where are we in the cave tonight?" ”

Li Dingguo reacted at this time, and immediately picked up Ruxue and chased after him, shouting as he ran, "Brother Song, let's discuss, can you change places, that's my new house"

The hall was full of laughter, and everyone was drunk, and this wine might have to be drunk until dawn.

**

The prime minister's house sent away Ruxue today, leaving only three hearts that want to wear, put on a wedding dress to marry their own satisfied Ruyi Langjun, this is a scene that every girl has longed for, right now, Langjun is here, but the eight sedan chairs can never have.

Wang Lanping is also touching the scene, the four of them ate around the table at dinner, all of them were silent, this meal really made Wang Lanping eat without any taste, who said that more women are a good thing, I don't think at all, under the gaze of the three women, Wang Lanping felt weak for a while, and hurriedly pulled out a few mouthfuls of food and fled into the study.

Since Du Ningning and Yun Niang came, Fang Ling was embarrassed to live in the middle courtyard, and moved to the place where the ladies in the backyard lived like them.

There was no entertainment in the courtyard of the deep house at night, especially the ladies in the backyard, boring, Du Ningning was upset, so he called the other two women to chat together, and the topic of conversation has been transferred from Ruxue to Li Xiangjun's body, and they all sighed that their fate is good, the topic is getting heavier and heavier, Fang Ling hurriedly pulled the topic away, and talked about poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, these Du Ningning knows a little bit, and the right should be chatted in this long night to relieve his worries, but Yun Niang can't understand what they are saying, she doesn't even know a word, Seeing that she couldn't interject, she retreated, returned to her house, looked up and saw that the light was still on on the third floor of the middle courtyard, and she remembered that Brother Lan Ping hadn't eaten much at night, so she turned to the kitchen again, made a snack with Aunt Li in the kitchen, made a cup of tea, and sent it to the middle courtyard.

Wang Lanping was reading the file in his room, and these days officials are constantly reporting the figures on the land measurement from various places, and he has to look at them one by one.

The door was gently slammed, "Brother Lan Ping, have you slept?" ”

"Yun Niang, come in, I didn't sleep."

Yun Niang pushed the door in with snacks and tea, entered the door and put things on the table, "I saw that you didn't eat much at night, I made some snacks, you taste them, they are all what you like to eat"

Wang Lanping put down the file and glanced at her, almost a month has passed, Yun Niang is also under Fang Ling's careful dressing, and she is slim and elegant.

Wang Lanping casually took off the cloak on his body and draped it on Yun Niang's thin body, "It's so cold, you don't have to do these things, come and sit down, see your hands are frozen."

Yun Niang's hands are much rougher than Du Ningning and Fang Ling, it is caused by years of fatigue, and she has to take care of the old lady for Wang Lanping after she is busy with her own family affairs, after so many years, she has not complained a word, like Xue Baochai who has been guarding the cold kiln for 18 years sung on the stage.

Wang Lanping helped Yun Niang sit down at the table, pulled her somewhat rough hand, put it to her mouth and sighed, rubbed it, and said with a smile, "From childhood to adulthood, except for my mother, even if you take care of me the most, now it's my turn to take care of you, is it warm?" ”

Yun Niang's face was red, a little embarrassed, but she wanted to be held tightly by him like this, and it was best not to be separated for the rest of her life.

"Well, warm, Brother Lan Ping, you found that Ruxue is really beautiful today, Sister Fang Ling's hands are so skillful, look at it, she combed my hair for me, is it good-looking?"

I'll it! Wang Lanping couldn't help muttering in his heart, which pot is not opened, you have to mention which pot, why did it talk about the bride again.

"She has this ability, her family used to be quite passable, but later because of the war came to me, you seem to be able to get along" Wang Lanping hurriedly diverted the topic. (To be continued.) )
