Chapter 1: Evening Prayer

Next Chapter

Just after the time, the people in Chang'an City were boiling, and the location of the tea stalls on Linxi Street in the East Market had been occupied: the people were in good spirits, dragging their families and waiting to see the marriage in the Xuanyang Fang Shangshu Cheng Mansion in the evening.

The second master of Shang Shucheng Pei Jingsheng's family, twenty-seven years old, is finally going to marry a wife! It's tonight!

This Pei family is with too. The ancestor fought the world, Pei Jingsheng is the only seedling, so from the text, to Pei Shuyu's generation, and changed back to martial arts, at the age of eleven, Pei Shuyu and his eldest brother Pei Zhongyi were selected to be born in Qianniu left and right, and then the career was a green light all the way.

In the twenty-first year of Pei Shuyu, he and his eldest brother went to Nanshao as the left and right lieutenants of Guangwu General Qiao Feng, two people went and one person returned. Pei Zhongji was stamped into mud by Nanshao's elephant array.

The whole army attaches great importance to filial piety, and the newlywed lady who has just been married for a year immediately faints, and Shuyu knelt in the ancestral hall for a night. No one persuaded him, and he kept his eldest brother filial piety for three years. Although Mrs. Pei was in a hurry to hold her grandson, she couldn't resist him.

The battle was tragic, and General Qiao Feng also died tragically. The emperor was comforted, and the daughter of Qiao Feng was named the concubine, and the second son of the Pei family, Shuyu, was named the secretary of the military department. After the filial piety period, he officially took office. This year, Shu Yu was only twenty-four years old.

After the mourning period, the people who handed over their relatives to Pei's family almost flattened the threshold of this cast iron. If you can't learn from your life experience, Mrs. Pei won't allow it. The appearance is slightly worse, and Second Master Pei is not happy, so he has to find a 10,000-year-old immortal. When the matchmakers went out without a rut, who didn't secretly scold Pei Erye in their hearts, but looking back at this high-ranking family, the Pei Mansion with blue bricks and jade tiles, and then thinking about Pei Erye, who is strong and brave, with a jade face and a silver gun, I have to feel that people do have this confidence.

There is no way, Pei Erye is looking for his daughter-in-law all over Chang'an City. At this juncture, the Queen Mother was again. I heard that Mrs. Pei was really thundered at that time, and after three years of national mourning, this son is almost twenty-seven, can he still find a daughter-in-law?

Harm, this fate is really unstoppable, no, just three months after the national funeral, everything has settled!

Old Man Pei leaned on the Luohan bed, stroked his beard happily, and felt that a large group of grandsons were on the way.

In this room, in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites of Anrenfang, the bride's mother Xiang Lao Madam was smiling and watching her daughter make up.

Our Afu is really lucky, after the national funeral just in time, a few months after the marriage directly married to the military department Shangshu to be a lady, who is not envious!

Looking at her daughter's white porcelain-like skin, her star-like eyes, and her delicate lips, she felt that she was a good boy!

The little daughter is so beautiful, and it makes her anxious.

Mrs. Xiang was born in a businessman, Afu Xiao's mother, this Mrs. Xiang was born with an excellent appearance, otherwise she would not be able to marry the noble Xiang family of the past dynasties. The two fell in love at a glance during the Lantern Festival, and after marriage, Qin Se and Ming gave birth to two sons and two daughters. Although she is now old and has a favored aunt in the family, her sons and daughters are all outstanding, and Mrs. Xiang is very confident in Xiang's family.

When the girl of the Pei family came to see her younger brother Pei Erye, she originally wanted to marry her eldest daughter Xiang Chun. It's just that although Xiang Chun is a few years older, whether it is appearance or bearing, he is not as good as Xiang Fu, the little sister of the Xiang family. As soon as this Pei girl saw Xiang Fu, she held her hand and smiled from ear to ear, and Mrs. Xiang knew that it was estimated that this eldest daughter would not be able to get married.

She is not partial to Xiang Fu, but Xiang Chun's appearance is really average, and her qualifications are middle and lower, and because of the national funeral, she has been delayed for three years in vain, and now she is nineteen years old, and she is not high or low, so whoever comes to kiss has to pull it out to take a look.

What's even more annoying is that she still has two concubines at the moment, one is born with the maid Nuan Yue, whose name is Xiang Yan, who is one year younger than Ah Chun, and is also average, but it is not an eyesore; The terrible thing is that the other, who is only eight years old this year, has already seen a wonderful face, and has learned all the benefits of her Oiran mother. In a few years, it won't make her pure child even more unsightly...

Afu was served by the maidservant and brought a pair of dripping jade earrings. She playfully tilted her head and let the pendant spin gently around her ear, touching her skin, and it felt cool.

"Mother, what do you think of this pair?"

Mrs. Xiang came back to her senses, and was heartbroken by her daughter's bright and delicate smile, and couldn't help but get up and take her into her arms: "My son, what are you wearing that is not beautiful, then Second Master Pei should not laugh and lose your eyes!" ”

Ah Fu smiled: "My daughter heard that Pei Er Ye is also a famous beautiful man."

Mrs. Xiang was full of black lines, and gently patted her daughter's cheek: "I'm going to marry a wife, and I'm not ashamed!" ”。

Sister-in-law Mu Huannian said with a smile: "I want to see how cute our Afu's children will be with their father and mother in the future!" ”

The nursing mother Yuanniang transferred the command on the side, smiled after listening to Huan Nian's words, and was busy urging Afu to hurry up.

Mrs. Xiang and Yuan Niang hurriedly draped on Afu's body. Huan Nian looked at her little sister with a smile, and suddenly felt that her hand was held by a soft and warm little hand.

She looked at Ah Fu, who had the joy of being married and some sorrow in her eyes, but only Huan Nian could understand: Ah Fu was supposed to marry her gentle brother Jin Heng!

When Afu was five years old, Xiang Chun had smallpox, so in addition to the eldest brother Xiang Mingjun, who had smallpox as a child, Afu and the second brother Xiang Mingyan were all sent to Yuyang Mu's house, that is, Mu Huannian's mother's house.

Mrs. Xiang and Mrs. Mu are handkerchiefs, Xiang Fu and Mu Jinheng have a young marriage for marriage, it was originally for fun, but Afu has lived in the Mu family for seven years, and in addition to being a brother and sister, there is an indescribable layer of unexplained feelings unconsciously.

Mu Huannian grew up with them and is Mu Jinheng's sister-in-law, of course she knows it in her heart.

Mrs. Xiang is a profit-seeking person, since there is a marriage of the noble Pei family sent to the door, she is naturally unwilling to waste her beautiful little daughter to the Mu family, who was born in a businessman, even if the Mu family has two ladies and maidens, where can it compare to the Pei family who holds military power?

Huan Nian held Afu with his backhand and comforted her silently with his eyes. Aven's crow-like eyelashes quivered, and she bowed her head appointingly. Before she could hide her look, she was raised to Mrs. Xiang's face: "Little sister has put her head straight, Yuan Niang hasn't brought you a hairpin yet!" ”

-------------------------------------

After a lot of upside down, shouting, drinking, and drinking, Afu was finally picked up by Pei Shuyu, dragging the mighty dowry tail, and marched from Anrenfang to Xuanyangfang.

Mrs. Xiang cried so much that she sobbed, and she couldn't wait to marry her heart, liver and lungs. Fortunately, with Yuan Niang and Sakura Wanwan by her side, she felt better. Xiang Lao Ye looked at the sedan chair that disappeared on the corner of the street little by little, and his eyes were also full of tears. Aunt Li came over, twisted out a bewitching figure, and wiped away the tears of the old man with a handkerchief: "Don't be sad, sir, it's a good thing that the girl is going out when she's older~" Her little daughter Xiang Yu led Xiang Yu's clothes to the corner of his clothes and coquettishly and milkily, which really attracted the attention of Xiang Lao.

Mrs. Xiang's tears hadn't dried yet, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes. Mingjun held his mother's arm woodenly. Ming Yan held the folding fan and seemed to unintentionally discuss a few words of the faint ritual with his father, and instantly drew the attention of the old man back.

Xiang Chunxin knew that he was the one who was picked up, and he still had to complain about his own anger, although he tried his best to cover it up, he still didn't hesitate. Xiang Yan quietly grabbed her hand, and she gently broke free. No matter how poor she is, she is the eldest daughter in the family, and it is not her turn to comfort Xiang Yan, a concubine who was born in a room.

The people on the tea stall, looking at Pei Shuyu, who was riding a white horse, all the way proudly past, followed by Jiaojiao quietly with a small sedan chair, couldn't stop their brains from making up what kind of jade girl was worthy of this golden boy.

"Harm, I don't know if the bride of the Pei family can stand up to Pei Shangshu's physique." I don't know who sighed, and the excited and suppressed discussion suddenly enveloped the entire East Market.

Afu sat alone in the sedan chair, holding a hood in her left hand and a face-covering fan in her right hand, and her heart followed the sedan chair. Although she has followed her brother since she was a child, learned the same Four Books and Five Classics, read a stomach full of economic articles, and from the bottom of her heart, she longed to be the eldest lady of any family, considerate of Langjun, take care of her children, and settle down at home and abroad. But she never thought that the surname she wanted to give was not Mu, but Pei, and she didn't know how the Pei family saw her own house.

Just as he was thinking about it, the sedan chair fell to the ground. She didn't sit still, let out a low exclamation, her right hand gripping the lattice.

Immediately, a servant lifted the sedan curtain and reached out to hold her: "Madame, is it okay?" ”

Pei Shuyu held an ice cube face, strutting in front, in fact, his heart was like a cat scratching, and he really wanted to lift the curtain and look at his wife's face at the moment.

During the Shangyuan Festival this year, because of the national funeral, there was no big lantern festival, he was only having fun with a few brothers on the city tower, and suddenly three or five girls from the family came upstairs.

Dressed up in a fancy way, seeing the men sitting on the ground around the corner, they were shy and timid, pretending to be reserved while peeking, and chattering, so that Pei Shuyu was not upset.

The one at the end of the line had just climbed upstairs, and the sisters in front of him were just laughing and running downstairs.

She was wrapped in a big red cloak, the tip of her nose was red from the cold, and before she could react, she was left alone, facing a group of drunken men opposite.
