The next day, the Qin Mansion was lit up, and everyone was busy. Bai Cong'er was sent back to Baijiatun's mother's house at dawn, according to the rules of Kaizhou, the girl should wait at her mother's house to be married. After breakfast, at the end of the day, the Qin family's welcoming team came to Baijiatun and picked up Bai Cong'er on the sedan chair. Qin Jiashan did not go to marry the bride in person according to local rules, but waited at home. And Bai Cong'er's father did not go to the Qin family according to the rules of Kaizhou, but was at home, and several brothers and sisters of the family and other clansmen went with the welcoming procession. Lu Jiaheng is a miscellaneous person among the people who greet relatives, carrying dowries and guiding the way for the palanquin man. Along the way, Lu Jiaheng stayed next to the sedan chair, and Bai Cong'er lifted the sedan curtain several times and looked at Lu Jiaheng with tears, but due to the large number of people, the two never dared to say a word.

The procession went out of the east gate and came in through the west gate when they returned. The local rule is to go out of the east gate and enter the west gate, which means that the marriage will not go back. When the sedan chair arrived outside the gate of Qin's mansion, a pair of red lanterns were hung on the door, and a pair of couplets written by Qin Jiashan were pasted on both sides of the door. The next link is: and the son with the old Qin Se and Ming. On the lintel is written a horizontal batch: There is a phoenix.

The sedan chair driver stopped the sedan chair, Guangde lit a firecracker, and crackled around the sedan chair three times. At this time, the bride Bai Cong'er was carried out of the sedan chair, and the people watching were surrounded by water. I saw that the bride was wearing a red wedding dress embroidered with a phoenix, and her head was covered with a red hijab. The bride got out of the sedan chair and sat on a lap chair covered with thick red cushions. There was a charcoal brazier in front of the gate, and the charcoal inside was red. The crowd carried the bride on the lap chair across from the charcoal brazier, which was called over-fire, which meant that the days were getting more and more prosperous.

After the bride was carried to the Qin family's compound, everyone rushed in like a swarm. I saw a table in front of the hall, on which was placed a bucket full of sorghum, and a piece of red paper was pasted on the bucket, which read: "Burn incense with a bucket." There is a scale inserted in the bucket, a copper mirror is hung on the scale hook, and a green onion and yeast are tied to the scale rod, which means that the life at home is rising higher and higher, and the more it passes, the more it means. In front of the bucket is a shengzi, which is full of jujubes, luosheng, longan and maize, and three incense sticks are inserted on it, which means that the noble son is born early. Because Qin Jiashan's parents have passed away, there are no people sitting on the two chairs on either side of the table.

Qin Jiashan wore a robe and a horse coat, with a big red flower on his chest, and his face was happy. Keep throwing your hands around. Bai Cong'er was helped down from the chair, and the principal Liu Mancang stood on the right side of the table and shouted, "The bride and groom kneel." ”

Qin Jiashan and Bai Cong'er both knelt down in front of the table, and Liu Mancang shouted again: "Worship heaven and earth." The two kowtowed three times to the incense-burning table in front of them. Liu Mancang continued to shout: "Second worship the main house." At this time, Qin Jiashan's wife, Li, was pushed in and sat on the chair to the left of the table. She seemed to be in a bit flustered and didn't know what to do. Li has a gentle temperament, is knowledgeable, and has always been a husband and a child at home, and she never asks about anything her husband does, and she never objects. Just like the last time she married Wang Lijun, although she was reluctant, she still seemed very generous and generous.

Bai Cong'er was led to kowtow to the Li family three times. Erniang Wang Lijun was also pushed in to sit on the chair on the right, Bai Cong'er kowtowed to Wang Lijun three more times, and Wang Lijun also looked happy when she sat on the chair. And Qin Jiashan also looked at Bai Cong'er kowtowing to them with a smile.

After kowtowing, Liu Mancang shouted again: "Husband and wife worship each other." Qin Jiashan and Bai Cong'er each held one end of the red silk and bowed to each other. After all this was done, Liu Mancang shouted again: "Send it to the cave room." The crowd gathered around the bride and groom and entered the west wing. According to the rules at that time, the main house should live in the hall house, the second room should live in the east wing, and Bai Cong'er should live in the third room, so he could only live in the west wing. After entering the cave room, the bride sat on the bed, still covered with a red hijab. Qin Jiashan unveiled the red hijab on Bai Cong'er's head in the crowd and frolicking, and everyone was stunned when they saw Bai Cong'er. It is really as beautiful as jade, beautiful and vulgar, like a blooming lily.

The feast dispersed and the guests departed. When evening came, red lights hung up everywhere in the entire Qin Mansion. Qin Jiashan drank a lot of wine, and finally he returned to the cave room with the support of two guys. Seeing Bai Cong'er sitting on the edge of the bed, I saw her sitting alone, as if there was still a trace of tears in her eyes. Looking at the beauty under the lamp, there is no fun. Bai Cong'er's face looked more delicate under the candlelight, and her face flushed from shyness became more charming, like a blooming peach blossom. The more Qin Jiashan looked at it, the more he liked it, he came to the bride with the strength of wine, picked her up, and kissed her on the lips. then pressed her down on the bed, untied Bai Cong'er's clothes, and then took off her clothes herself, blew out the candles, and pounced......

Outside the window, Lu Jiaheng listened to the two of them turning clouds and rain in the house, he felt a heart-rending distress, and bit his arm fiercely with his teeth, and the blood on his arm suddenly flowed, but he didn't realize it.

The next day, at three o'clock in the sun, Qin Jiashan got up from the bed. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the sun was getting high, Bai Cong'er had already gotten up, and seeing that he was awake, Bai Cong'er hurriedly made a bowl of tea, and said to Qin Jiashan with both hands: "Master, you drank too much wine last night, drink some tea first to sober up." Qin Jiashan took the tea bowl, nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart: "This little girl is still okay, not only does she look good, but she also knows how to serve people." It seems that the five hundred taels of silver were not spent in vain. ”

At noon, the family sat down at a table for the first time to eat. Qin Xianpei and Lu Jiaheng brought up the dishes one by one, put them on the table, and brought a jar of "champion red" wine, Bai Cong'er quietly glanced at Lu Jiaheng with his eyes, Lu Jiaheng didn't dare to meet her eyes, and retreated after serving the wine and food. Qin Jiashan sat on the chair opposite the door, his wife Li and Erniang Wang Lijun sat on the left side of the table, and Bai Cong'er and daughter Qin Xueqing sat on the right hand. Sitting opposite sat the two sons, Qin Lanting and Qin Leyi. Qin Lanting is forty years old, Qin Leyi is only a teenager, and Qin Xueqing is a few years older than Bai Cong'er.

Qin Jiashan spoke first: "Today is a happy day for our family, and from now on, our family will have another mouthful." Bai Cong'er, this is the eldest mother, you will be called Mrs. in the future. Bai Cong'er hurriedly got up and blessed the Li family, picked up a glass of wine with both hands, walked up to the Li family and said, "Madam, if Cong'er does something wrong in the future, you can just scold and beat." This glass of wine is my filial piety to you. Li also quickly stood up and took the wine glass: "What lady is not Mrs.?" Don't call it that, I'm not used to it, we will be a family in the future, and we will be called sister in the future. My sister is still young, and this family will rely on you to support it in the future. With that, he drank the wine.

Qin Jiashan pointed at Wang Lijun again and said, "This is Erniang, you should be closer in the future." "That Erniang Wang Lijun is in her thirties, with fair skin, a pair of red phoenix eyes, willow eyebrows, and a very standard appearance.

Bai Cong'er also poured a glass of wine and walked to Wang Lijun's side and said, "Sister, I heard from the master that you are worried about this family. You have really worked hard, and this glass of wine is my filial piety to you. Wang Lijun was angry because Qin Jiashan married Bai Cong'er, but she didn't take the wine glass, but said bitterly: "Yo, it's only been one night, and the master has said everything to you." It seems that the master really can't live without you. Look at it, the old man's eyes are dark, did he not sleep all night last night? What have you said? As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Jiashan.

Qin Lanting, Qin Leyi, and Qin Xueqing were very embarrassed after hearing this, so they could only pretend not to hear. Qin Jiashan knew that she was jealous, and when she looked up and saw the embarrassed appearance of her three children, she immediately stopped Wang Lijun: "Lijun, don't talk nonsense in front of the children." Quick, take the wine. ”

Wang Lijun also felt that it was inappropriate to say such things in front of the child, so she took the wine and drank it all. Then he said to Bai Cong'er: "In the future, the master will be handed over to you to serve, our sisters are both old, and they can't wait." ”

Bai Cong'er listened to what she said, took the wine glass and blessed Wang Lijun and said, "Where did my sister come from?" The lord is everyone's, and the three of us sisters have to serve together, but we can't just push it to me. Qin Jiashan laughed after hearing this: "In the future, the three of you sisters will have to deal with it, Cong'er, you are new to the city, and you are young, so ask the two sisters for advice if you have anything in the future." Lan Ting, you three brothers and sisters have come to see your three aunts. ”

The eldest Qin Lanting was solemn, stood up with his wine glass, walked to Bai Cong'er and said, "Third aunt, today is a day of great joy for you and your father, as a junior, I congratulate you." In the future, you will be my elder, if the child has done something wrong, you just have to teach a lesson, please drink this cup. ”

Bai Cong'er wanted to laugh after hearing this, and thought: "You are almost forty people, I am only eighteen, call yourself a child, call me an elder, and let me teach you a lesson, it's really funny." So he hurriedly took the wine glass and said, "Okay, well, the family doesn't talk to each other, as long as you still think that I am an elder, I will be grateful, what is the lesson not to teach?" Sit down. Saying that, there was a sense of pride in his heart, he used to call himself a slave in front of others, but now someone respectfully called himself an elder, and let himself teach others, as if his status had increased several times overnight. Qin Leyi and Qin Xueqing also toasted Bai Cong'er respectively.

Since then, Bai Cong'er has been the third wife in the Qin family. A year has passed, and during this period, Lu Jiaheng and Bai Cong'er took advantage of Qin Jiashan's going out to purchase medicinal materials, and quietly sneaked into Bai Cong'er's house several times for trysts.

Bai Cong'er was pregnant, and after Qin Jiashan took the pulse, he felt that the pulse was pulsating strongly, and he concluded that it was a boy, and he was very happy in his heart. So he instructed Qin Xianpei to stew a black chicken for Bai Cong'er every day to strengthen nutrition. and specially assigned her a maid Chu'er to serve her.

March 3 of this year is the day when spring flowers bloom. A conference was held in Taiping Town, a stage was set up in front of the Guandi Temple, and the opera troupe from Kaifeng was invited to sing a big opera. This auspicious note of Kaifeng is famous far and wide, and the famous wildebeest Xiaolou has also been invited. Qin Jiashan and Li are all fans of opera, Wang Lijun was born in singing, and she has admired Ma Xiaolou's name for a long time, and the three of them went together.

Qin Lanting sat in the pharmacy, and Qin Xueqing took Qin Leyi to the theater. Because Bai Cong'er was pregnant and had difficulty moving, she asked Chu'er to serve her at home. After lunch, the others went to the theater as usual.

Bai Cong'er called Chu'er over and asked her, "Chu'er, I want to eat carp this morning, and I want to catch something new in the river." You go to Shuitun, there is an old man surnamed Zhang, who fishes from the river every day. Don't go to our town's 'Yangjia Fish Shop' to buy, his fish is not fresh, not fresh. Chu'er said: "Shuitun is ten miles away, how can I go alone?" Bai Cong'er said: "You go and find the housekeeper Uncle Xianpei." ”

Chu'er called Qin Xianpei, Bai Cong'er said: "Uncle Xianpei, I'm going to trouble you again, I want to eat carp today, the fish in the 'Yangjia Fish Shop' is not fresh, I asked Chu'er to go to Shuitun to buy it, Shuitun is quite far away from here, and I have to trouble you to set up a car and go with Chu'er." When Qin Xianpei heard this, he didn't say a word, got into the car and took Chu'er away.

As soon as Qin Xianpei and Chu'er left, the entire Qin family compound became empty, leaving only Bai Cong'er alone, because the long-term workers were busy working in the fields, and the guys in the pharmacy were busy working in the pharmacy. Lu Jiaheng saw Bai Cong'er put his pot of red azaleas on the windowsill, which was a signal to prove that no one was there. Hurriedly slipped into Bai Cong'er's room and hugged Bai Cong'er, and couldn't help but say, pressing Bai Cong'er on the bed for some warmth.

After the two put on their clothes, Bai Cong'er said, "I'm pregnant, do you know?" Lu Jiaheng said: "I heard it a few days ago, is it my child or the old guy's species?" Bai Cong'er said: "I don't know, but I think it should be yours." That old guy is old and takes care of his body very much, and he won't come to me for half a year, ten days and a half months, and he can't come, it must be yours. ”

Lu Jiaheng said in surprise: "Really? That's great. We finally have a baby. But we're going to have to hurry up, and you can find a way to get that old guy drunk tonight, and get me the key to the herb storehouse. I want to see what kind of medicine this 'Qin's Gum Shen Dan' is dispensed with. At this time of year, this old guy has to start preparing this 'Qin's Gum Shen Dan', and in the past two days, I estimate that as soon as the play is over, he will prepare it immediately, so we have to act quickly. ”。

Saying that, he took out a piece of cement from his arms, this cement was half dry, Lu Jiaheng said: "He never leaves the key to this warehouse, you don't need to steal the key after you get him drunk tonight, you just need to use this piece of cement to print the key mold for me." After printing, you put it under the hibiscus tree in front of the kitchen door, and I went to get it in the middle of the night. ”

Bai Cong'er took the clay, and felt nervous for a while, and then thought about it, he would print a key mold, and he would do it after he was drunk, and he should not show his feet.
