Chapter 19: The Marriage Gift

For several days in a row, Xia Man was thinking of ways to do Qin Siya's affairs, and if he used two things, he was easy to do wrong things, and sure enough, when he poured tea for Xiao Mo, the tea overflowed, wetting a word on the desk.

"What's the matter, absent-minded." Xiao Mo uncharacteristically did not pursue Xia Man's faults, these days, he saw that Xia Man was preoccupied, and he just took this opportunity to ask.

"It's nothing, even if you see a hundred taels of silver, there is nowhere to earn." Xia Man wiped the tea on the desk with a dry cloth, and his mouth was high, looking lost.

"Let's talk about it, and I'll help you figure it out." Xiao Mo knew that she was a money-loving master, if she couldn't earn this money, she was afraid that she would be restless for several months, he didn't want to be dressed in the wrong clothes today and be covered with tea tomorrow.

Xia Man told Xiao Mo about Qin Siya, thinking that he could have a good way, but he was ridiculed, "You are still a girl's family, how can you help someone get married, that person is really blind, and he actually wants you to help." ”

"Don't talk about the cool words, is there a way?" Xia Man's mouth was curled, it was really a chore.

The Cheng family and the Lin family are married, and I have heard a little about it, this Lin Feng is ridiculous, I can like such a person, I am afraid that this Miss Cheng family is not very good, Xiao Mo thought, and said: "Don't earn your silver, people are talented and beautiful, why break it up." ”

"I've taken all the deposits." Xia Man muttered quietly.

Xiao Mo looked at her and shook his head, "You're too angry." ”

Although there is no man in the Cheng family as an official in the court, but Concubine Cheng has a military talisman of the first emperor in her hand, Rao is the current emperor also has to give three points, and she has loved Cheng Jingsi's niece since she was a child.

"Lin Feng and Xiao Huai are jealous of the Qinglou woman, I'm afraid Miss Cheng doesn't know yet." Xiao Mo's eyes were full of disdain.

"Although there are people talking about it, the Cheng family must be hiding the news now, and only hope that the two families can get married as soon as possible."

Xia Man was really puzzled, it was obviously a fire pit and she had to push her daughter in, what was her parents for.

"I heard that Miss Cheng likes to watch dramas, so it's better to have someone rehearse this play for her."

"Feasible." Xia Man suddenly had a look, and couldn't help but praise Xiao Mo, "King Heng, you are really a genius." ”

Xiao Mo glanced at her and stretched out five fingers, "Fifty percent." ”

"What?" Xia Man was puzzled, what did Xiao Mo want.

"I will divide fifty percent of the money."

"You can't rob it."

"Then you can only go to the theater troupe by yourself and arrange the theater process by yourself."

When Xia Man heard this, he cursed in his heart, but because he didn't have that ability, he gritted his teeth and agreed to Xiao Mo's unequal treaty.

Xiao Mo looked at Xia Man's aggrieved face, and his heart was very good, and he said, "Go and pass the meal, if you delay the early dynasty of this king, you will be deducted from the moon." ”

Xia Man counted, and he was afraid that he would not be able to count on his monthly silver, so he must earn the fifty taels of silver.

Before the early dynasty opened, there were ministers waiting outside the palace, and it seemed that it had become a common practice to arrive early.

The crown prince still greeted the queen every day before the morning court, and he understood that if he did not have his own mother, he would not have the favor of his father.

"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye."

"Hurry up, Emperor." The queen personally helped the prince up, and instructed the maid: "Go and bring the prince's favorite dim sum." ”

The queen is the queen of the gate, and the emperor has a childhood sweetheart, deeply favored by the Emperor of Guangsheng, her son was born to become the prince, this is the supreme honor, but unfortunately when the prince was born, he hurt his body, and there will be no children in the future, so she regards her only son as a treasure, in order to pave the way for him, so that Xiao Mo's mother will be killed, and Xiao Xun's mother is trapped in the palace Buddhist hall, and the other princes' mothers are also missing, crazy demons, crazy demons, so that the emperor will value his son more.

"Wei'er, I heard that your father reprimanded you?"

"It's all Xiao Huai's sinister person, this palace will never let him go!"

Thinking of Xiao Huai's embarrassment to himself, Xiao Wei's teeth itched angrily, and he couldn't wait to kill him immediately to relieve the hatred in his heart.

The queen comforted Xiao Wei and said: "Xiao Huai is not afraid, your great enemy should be Xiao Mo, this person is good at scheming and has military merits, if it weren't for her mother and concubine to go early, I am afraid that the queen mother would be a little scared." ”

Xiao Mo's mother concubine was born into a family, a family of three generations of loyalty, delicate and beautiful, with a light spirit, and good at writing, when she first entered the palace, she was favored by the Guangsheng Emperor, and the limelight was unparalleled for a while, after giving birth to Xiao Mo, she was named the imperial concubine, threatening the status of the queen, the queen made a plan, and put on her the charge of fornicating with the guard, and the Guangsheng Emperor was angry, gave it to death, and exiled it to the full door, so far, Xiao Mo has become a shame in the eyes of the Guangsheng Emperor.

"Does the queen mother have a plan?" Xiao Wei has always relied on the queen, and many things are decided by the queen.

After thinking for a while, the queen said: "Your uncle's coriander is just waiting to be married, and Xiao Mo doesn't have a concubine yet, so let him be allowed." ”

"The queen mother is wise."

The mother and son looked at each other and smiled, if nothing else, in the near future, the holy decree of marriage will arrive at King Heng's mansion.

The slanting sun returns to the mountain, a colorful glow flies out of the air, shrouds the entire industry city, gusts of evening wind pass through, the leaves rustle, the last batch of cicadas have weakened their voices, and there are a few sounds that are weak, and the limit is coming.

In the thirty-fifth year of Guangsheng, in the autumn, Liu Qianqian, the daughter of the Duke of Fuguo, was given to marry King Heng, which was for Princess Heng, and the banquet of King Heng's mansion was very lively for three days.

As soon as Xia Man entered the hall, he saw Xiao Mo sitting on the ground, with a few empty wine jars lying crookedly at his feet, and before he got close, there was a strong smell of wine.

"Come here, drink with me." Xiao Mo's face was a little drunk, but his consciousness was very clear.

Xia Man approached, sat next to Xiao Mo, picked up a half-empty wine jug, took a sip, took a sweet mouth, sighed, and said, "I'm afraid there will be another storm in the future." ”

For women, Xiao Mo has always disdained to deal with them, all he cares about is a little father-son affection, and this last bit of family affection has also been wiped out by this holy decree of marriage, he doesn't care about his mind and situation at all, all he thinks about is the queen and the prince.

"Although this king has a father, a brother, a wife, a concubine and children, but now it seems that he is also a lonely person."

Today's Xiao Mo is not as solemn as in the past, there is a little gloom between his eyebrows and eyes, Xia Man's comforting words are on his lips, but at this moment, he can't say anything, so he has to drink the wine in the pot in one gulp.

Xiao Mo felt Xia Man's abnormality, leaned on her shoulder, and said, "Why is it so quiet today?"

Xia Man raised his head and drank the last drop of wine in the pot, the corners of his eyes were a little crystalline, "The taste of loneliness, I have tasted it for many years, and I can empathize, I can only accompany you to drink a few more sips of wine." ”

This night, the two of them had their own hearts, Xia Man was too strong to drink, and he fell asleep after drinking half a pot of wine, and he didn't even know that he was carried to the inner hall by Xiao Mo.

Looking at the people on the couch, Xiao Mo suddenly felt a kind of pity in his heart, this was a feeling he had never felt before, he even felt that he should not be lonely with her in his future life, covered her with a quilt, and went out of Yiyun Palace, today is the night of candles in the cave room, and it is time to go and see his princess Heng.

In the Qinxue Palace, Liu Wuwu sat on the wedding couch, because she couldn't see the emotion with her hijab, the maids on the left and right also stood aside with their heads bowed, and the whole hall was quiet and terrible.

Xiao Mo pushed open the door, walked over, withdrew the maidservant, sat down beside Liu Wuwu, and said: "Since you have become Princess Heng, that is the person of Heng Wangfu, if there is something in Heng Wangfu, no one can be left alone." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Mo raised his hand, and Liu Wuwu's hijab was removed.

Before Liu Wuwu got married, the relatives in the clan told her the purpose of this marriage, and then she was called by the queen and asked her to play the role of Princess Heng and help the prince.

"The concubine understands." Liu Wuwu whispered, she knew that she was a chess piece all her life, but she didn't know when she would be able to live for herself.

"Then let's settle it." Xiao Mo took off his wedding robe, moved to the back couch, and slept in his clothes.

Although Liu Wuwu is also good-looking and talented, in Xiao Mo's eyes, beauty has never been something that attracts him, and this Princess Heng is still stuffed by the queen, so she is really disgusted.

When Liu Wuwu saw Xiao Mo's actions, she knew her situation, and she didn't dare to ask for anything else, so she took off her hairpin ring hair ornament and lay down on the couch.

The next day, Xia Man was still asleep, so Xiao Mo took Liu Wuwu to the palace to ask for peace.

When the first emperor died, there was no queen, and when the Guguang Holy Emperor ascended the throne, there was no queen mother in the palace, only a concubine Cheng, although there was no name of the queen mother, but when the royal family was courteous, they must go to see her.

"See the concubine, may the concubine be happy forever"

Concubine Cheng sat on the top, although she was nearly fifty years old, there was no trace of time on her face, "Come on, it's all a family, where did you get so many courtesies, give me a seat quickly." ”

"Concubine Xie."

The two sat down and listened respectfully to the concubine's teachings.

"Now that you have become a parent, in the future, you must have harmony between husband and wife, and it is good to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family."

"Yes."

Concubine Cheng said a lot of blessings, and rewarded a pair of white jade dolls, and the two thanked them and went to the emperor and queen to say goodbye.

There are many and cumbersome royal rules, after asking for peace to the two palaces, I went to the Taimiao again, and paid tribute to the ancestors, and it was over, at the end of this day, Xiao Mo felt more tired than fighting, and after hurriedly finishing the etiquette, he returned to Yiyun Hall alone.
