Leng Yi looked down at her, but saw that the twin peaks in the spring shirt on her chest that had begun to bulge were also jumping happily with her jumping, and she couldn't help but feel a little dry, so she quickly twisted her head, held her arms, and said, "Okay, okay, shaking my head is dizzy!" ”

"People are happy!" As she spoke, Hua Wuxiang suddenly tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek, "Then I'll go back to reading!" Holding the book, he turned around and jumped out to walk, and suddenly stood again, only to see Zhuo Qiaoniang standing at the door, looking at them with a smile.

"Sister Qiao!" Hua Wuxiang turned around and stuck out her tongue at Leng Yi, bowed down and smiled at Zhuo Qiaoniang, flashed past her, and floated away like a butterfly.

Hua Wuxiang's move just now must have been seen by Zhuo Qiaoniang, Leng Yi was a little embarrassed, and said, "Qiaoniang......"

Zhuo Qiaoniang looked back at Hua Wuxiang's back and said with a smile: "This little girl is also not small, how can she still be in a hurry." ”

"She's not even sixteen years old, so she's the age of liveliness. - Is there something wrong? ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang walked up to him, tidied up the clothes that were messed up by Hua Wuxiang for him, and said: "Ming said that it is the son of you and Luojie who got married, they are all ready, and the invitations have been issued, but Ming said that the official family is going to go on the expedition, and many court officials are going to see them off, and it is estimated that it will be a little later." Tell you about it. ”

"I know this, I'm going to send it too."

"Huh? What if the guests come? ”

"Isn't it you?" Leng Yi affectionately took her into his arms.

Zhuo Qiaoniang struggled lightly, blushing and said, "Others see it!" ”

"What are you afraid of! You are my wife, I put my arms around my wife, can anyone gossip? ”

This sentence of "wife" immediately made Zhuo Qiaoniang stop struggling, snuggled in his arms obediently, and said with a red and fluttering face: "Official, ......"

Leng Yi hugged and kissed deeply, and didn't let go until she was panting.

Although the two have been married for several years, there are still very few such deep kisses, Zhuo Qiaoniang is blushing, she can feel her husband's true love for her from such an affectionate kiss, and her heart is like being filled with honey.

At this moment, I heard the joyful voice of the grass ears sounding under the porch of the door: "Sister, brother-in-law! The old lady, the master, the wife and the fourth master are here! Go pick it up! ”

As early as the Chinese New Year, Zhuo Qiaoniang discussed with Leng Yi that she must invite Leng Yi's grandfather, parents and other relatives to come to the capital. After all, Leng Yi has already become a big official in the capital, and if he doesn't bring his grandfather, parents and other relatives, and the official is impeached for unfilial piety, the official family will not be able to maintain it.

Leng Yi was very afraid to see the Leng family, although he had already learned a lot about the Leng family from Zhuo Qiaoniang and figured out all the relationships, but he didn't know what was going on, and he was still a little scared. But Zhuo Qiaoniang is right, she can't help but do it.

So, Leng Yi wrote a letter, asking the old lady in Bazhou to hand over the business to Zhuo Qiaoniang's brother and sister-in-law, and come to live in the capital by himself, and wrote a letter to his parents in his hometown, asking them to come to the capital as well.

Unexpectedly, Leng Yi's parents were worried about the old lady in Bazhou, and after receiving the letter, they hurried to Bazhou first, and after helping the old lady handle the business, they rushed from Bazhou to the capital. Coincidentally, just the day before Leng Yi got married, they rushed to the capital together.

Zhuo Qiaoniang saw Leng Yi's expression was different, so she knew what he was thinking, snuggled up to him and whispered: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it, you can know who is who just by looking at my greeting." I will always be with you. ”

Leng Yi nodded gratefully.

The two of them came out and walked quickly to the front door. Then he saw a group of people coming in, accompanied by the maid's attendants. The white-bearded old man at the head is Leng Yi's grandfather Leng Bei.

When Leng Bei saw Leng Yi, he greeted him and said, "Grandpa heard from the porter that Sun Liming said that he was a concubine, and he was still the emperor's wife for marriage, right?" ”

"Yes, grandpa!"

As the two of them spoke, Zhuo Qiaoniang had already stepped forward and said to the two gray-haired couples who followed closely: "Daughter-in-law to meet her father-in-law and mother-in-law!" ”

Leng Yi immediately knew that these two were Leng Shan and Sun, the parents of the magistrate he pretended. took a closer look at the two of them, and sure enough, they looked a little similar to themselves, hurried over, and bowed to the ground: "The child has seen his father!" Daddy has worked hard all the way! ”

Leng Shanle said: "Yi'er, you have a great future!" became a big official, and he has a very long face as a father. ”

Sun held Leng Yi's hand, looked up and down, turned his head to the old man with a loving face, and said, "His father, Yi'er has grown strong, look at this body!" ”

Leng Shan said: "He is now a big official of the imperial court, and the people around the emperor eat all the delicacies of the mountains and seas. ”

Leng Yi hurriedly said: "The child is not filial, and now he will only take the second elder to his side." ”

"Look at what you said, being a father is just joking with your mother. I heard that the emperor gave us an official position for the sake of your face? ”

"yes, Dad. Five-pinned products! ”

Leng Shan and Sun looked at each other and smiled from ear to ear.

Zhuo Qiaoniang took a young man's hand affectionately again, and said happily: "Brother, you are here too!" Aren't you farming in your hometown? ”

Leng Yi immediately knew that this was Zhuo Qiaoniang's honest brother Zhuo Siniu, who was farming at home.

Zhuo Siniu said humbly: "It was the eldest brother and sister-in-law who wrote to me and asked me to go to Bazhou to help, saying that the business was too good to be busy, and I didn't know how to do business and didn't want to go, so they urged me to send me a few letters a day, so I went." This time, my grandfather said, let me come to the capital with me for a long time, and I also want to see you, the third sister, so I followed. ”

"Very good, I'm glad you came!"

Leng Yi hurriedly went over and shouted: "Four cows!" ”

"Brother-in-law!" Zhuo Siniu smirked and said.

Zhuo Qiaoniang said: "Go in and talk, don't stand stupidly." ”

A group of people came to the lobby and talked about some things that happened after the parting, some talking and laughing, Leng Yi listened to it all the time, and rarely interjected.

After speaking, Zhuo Qiaoniang personally arranged a place for them to live, and transferred maids, old mothers, and male servants to serve them, and the old man was very happy.

That night, Zhuo Qiaoniang and Leng Yi were talking with the old lady and their parents, and Leng Yi's mother Sun got up and said to Zhuo Qiaoniang: "I want to go conveniently, you can go with me." ”

"Okay, mother."

Zhuo Qiaoniang followed Sun out and chatted while walking. Sun said: "Yi'er wants to marry a new daughter-in-law, how about it?" Have you met? ”

"Yes, I used to be the personal female guard of the official."

"Huh? Female ......, female guards? Sun was obviously a little shocked by this future daughter-in-law who was dancing with guns and sticks.

Zhuo Qiaoniang hurriedly said: "She is actually very delicate and beautiful, knowledgeable, a good female worker, and a good official." ”

"Oh!" Sun nodded slowly and said, "What did she do before she became Yi'er's guard?" ”

"In the palace, he served as a guard for the former queens of the first emperor."

"In the palace?" Sun frowned and said in a low voice: "I heard that the women in the palace are all from the emperor, and she won't ......."

"Mother! Look at what you said, there are so many women in the palace, thousands, could it be that they are all emperors? Besides, if someone is an empress, how can the emperor ......"

"It is precisely because of the empress that he is most likely to meet the emperor! Moreover, you said that she is very beautiful, and the emperor is a man, can he not be tempted? ”

Sun smiled bitterly and said, "Mother! You have too much heart! ”

"It's not that my mother is too careful, this kind of thing, you have to have a bottom in your heart! Our Yi'er is innocent, but we can't pick up other people's ......."

"Mother!" Zhuo Qiaoniang stomped her feet and said, "Miss Cheng is not that kind of person!" ”

"If you say it doesn't count, it doesn't count if your mother says it!" Sun muttered and took out a snow-white handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Zhuo Qiaoniang: "Well, tomorrow you give this to her, let her pad it under her when she has sex, and you will know when you check it!" ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang smiled bitterly, when she passed the door, it was also the mother-in-law who gave her a handkerchief and let her pad under her. Although she is innocent, she is still a little afraid, if something goes wrong and she doesn't fall red, it's not like she can't hold her head up for the rest of her life. Fortunately, there was no such thing, and the next day the mother-in-law quietly asked her for a handkerchief, and when she saw the red on it, the mother-in-law smiled. I can't imagine that I will do this hand again.

She also knows that it has always been a rule for her mother-in-law to inspect her daughter-in-law's privet, and maybe she will have to do this when she becomes a mother-in-law in the future. I had to sigh and take the snow-white handkerchief.

The next day, the cold house is full of lights, jubilant, from the early morning, the newlywed guard of honor will play the suona, beat the gongs and drums lively, from time to time there are firecrackers. Early in the morning, countless guests came to congratulate them. He is a big celebrity in front of an official family, and now he is in charge of the judgment of the soon-to-be-established trial court, and has the privilege of picketing hundreds of officials, and taking life and death, which official dares not to express an attitude? Therefore, for a while, the cold mansion was bustling and crowded. There were several people in charge of registration at the door, and just like that, there was still a long queue for the registration of the gift list.

Leng Yi was wearing official uniforms, and Zhuo Qiaoniang was wearing the clothes of Mrs. Sipin, and the two smiled in front of the palace to greet those officials who came to congratulate.

Zhao Tingmei, Zhao Defang, Shi Shouxin, Xue Juzheng, Shen Lun, Chu Zhaofu, Cao Bin, Lu Duoxun and other princes and ministers also came to send gifts and congratulations.

Seeing that they all came to give gifts, there were still other officials who did not come to give gifts. The officials came in an endless stream, and Leng Yi thanked them one by one with a smile.

Those officials who had ghosts in their hearts watched Leng Yi accept the rich gifts they gave one by one, and there was no excuse, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile, and put down a stone hanging in their hearts, as long as they received the money, everything was easy to say, as the saying goes, eating people with soft mouths and taking people with short hands, he himself took bribes through marriage, and in the future, there will be room for negotiation when investigating and punishing corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

Many officials who were watching saw that the gifts in front of them were successfully accepted, and they also had the bottom of their hearts, and they went back to get heavy gifts and asked for a talisman. For a time, the long queue of gift-giving favorites was even more lined up outside the gate.

Because according to the rules, the giver must be given before the marriage at noon, and it is very rude to give it after that. So there were long queues waiting for gifts.

Seeing that the head was getting higher and higher, finally, I heard the sound of silk and bamboo on the street, and the drums were ringing in unison, as soon as I heard this sound, I knew that it was court music, and it must be the official Zhao Guangyi who sent someone to give gifts.

Sure enough, a eunuch hurriedly came and knelt down to report: "Master Leng, the official family has sent a congratulatory message, please bring your wife to the door to greet you." ”

At this time, the bride was still at her mother's house and had not yet greeted her, so Leng Yi only took his wife Zhuo Qiaoniang to the gate, and ordered all the courtyard doors to be opened, and he and his wife bowed and stood.

In a moment, the drum band and guards opened the way in front, followed by an official sedan chair, followed by the mighty procession, carrying a large box of bride price. Came to the gate of the cold house.

The big sedan chair fell, and the little eunuchs on both sides lifted the sedan curtains. Wang Jien, the personal eunuch of the official family, bowed out, saw Leng Yi coming down from the steps, smiled all over his face, and arched his hand: "Congratulations!" Congratulations, Lord Leng! ”

Leng Yi hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, old minister, please inside!" Zhuo Qiaoniang also stepped forward to give a blessing. Wang Jien also returned the salute with a smile on his face: "Madame has Miss Cheng to help serve Lord Leng, so she doesn't have to work so hard." ”

"yes, yes." Zhuo Qiaoniang laughed happily.

As he spoke, Leng Yi and his wife accompanied Wang Jien inside, and the bride price burden followed him into the Leng Mansion.

When he arrived in the lobby, Wang Jien beckoned a few eunuchs carrying a plaque behind him to come over and said, "This is a congratulatory plaque inscribed by the official royal pen, you husband and wife kneel down to receive it!" ”

Leng Yi and Zhuo Qiaoniang hurriedly knelt down: "Weichen thanked the official family for the plaque, and congratulated the official family on the northern expedition to the north and the domination of the world!" ”

After kowtowing, the two got up, Leng Yi stepped forward and gently lifted the colored silk covering it. The plaque below is revealed, and it is: "God-given good fate".

Leng Yi and Zhuo Qiaoniang glanced at each other, and they both nodded with smiles on their faces, Cheng Luojie was personally married by Emperor Zhao Guangyi, so it was naturally a godsend. Very apt. The two bowed down and thanked them, and ordered the attendants to hang them on the main hall of the main hall quickly, and then move them to the main hall of Cheng Luojie's courtyard after the ceremony was completed.

Wang Jien arched his hand and said: "Lord Leng, our family should have stayed to beg for a glass of wine, but our family also has to follow the official family on the expedition, and we will set off in less than an hour." So we have to go back quickly. ”

"That's good, then I won't keep it, I wish the old minister all the peace in the northern expedition."

"Thank you!"

Wang Jien left the cold mansion with the escort team and the gift team.

The officials who came to congratulate also temporarily took their leave and went to the gate of the north city to send the emperor off on the expedition.

Leng Yi saw that it was almost noon and ordered to stop receiving gifts. Remove all the ribbons from all the gifts and load them onto the cart. The generous gifts sent by the official Zhao Guangyi were all replaced with their own boxes and loaded into carts.

The stewards and attendants didn't know what he meant by this order, and they didn't dare to ask more, so they hurriedly loaded the cart.

Leng Yi sent someone to Chengjia to inform him that he would come to pick up his relatives after an hour, because he wanted to send the official family on the expedition, and then, in the official sedan chair, let the attendants escort carry all the gifts they received, loaded dozens of cars, and went out of Leng Mansion and went to Beicheng.
