Qin Xiangguo's father and son had just left the palace, and entered Xiangguo's mansion with their front feet, and the rewards from their back feet followed. Qin Xiangguo and his wife Qiu Xiaoyue received the order in the main hall.

It was still the emperor's personal eunuch Zhang Gonggong who announced the decree, "Please ask Lord Xiangguo to summon General Qin to come with him to receive the decree." ”

Qin Xiangguo hurriedly asked the housekeeper to go to Shuyuzhai to invite Qin Yan in person, and asked him to show Zhang Gonggong tea, and personally accompanied him to talk.

Qin Yan entered his courtyard, and before he could take off his armor, he saw the housekeeper hurriedly come to invite him, and hurriedly turned back to the main hall.

Gonggong Zhang held the holy decree in both hands, and smiled all over his face: "Qin Xiangguo, General Qin Yan received the decree, 'Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: I love the good material of General Qin, and I also accept the heart of Xiangguo and loyalty, and I am grateful for the work of father and son for serving the imperial court, and I will give my favorite seven princesses to marry Qin Yan; The seven princesses are smart and beautiful, and they are worthy of General Qin. Because Qin Yan's previous marriage contract could not be broken, he allowed equal wives regardless of size, and the tenth day of the fifth month was an auspicious day for a big wedding. Since then, the family has been in peace with the country. Chin this! 'Qin Xiangguo, General Qin, please take the order! ”

Qin Xiangguo couldn't react a little, Qin Yan knelt at the moment, not moving at all, his face was frosty.

After a long time, Gonggong Zhang saw that the family of three did not move, his face was a little unbearable, and he reminded again: "Qin Xiangguo, General Qin will take the order!" ”

Qin Xiangguo came back to his senses, and he was a little hesitant in his heart, it was good to be the son-in-law of the heavenly family, but Yan'er's temperament was afraid that he couldn't accept it, and he knew that he couldn't refuse, so he had to stretch out his hand and take the holy decree, "Thank the emperor for marriage!" ”

Gonggong Zhang looked at Qin Yan and mocked with a strange yin and yang: "It is a great honor to be able to marry the Heavenly Family, General Qin is so blessed!" ”

Qin Xiangguo accompanied the smiling face, "This kind of happy event is really annoying to Father-in-law Zhang, housekeeper, show the gift to Father-in-law!" The housekeeper came in from outside the door and handed a bulging money bag to Qin Xiangguo with both hands.

Qin Shaohui took it and held it to Father-in-law Zhang with his own hands.

"Xiangguo is polite, then our family will accept your wedding gift, and wait for the wedding day to ask for a glass of wine to drink!" Father-in-law Zhang was worried about the money bag in his hand, turned around with a smile and said, "Xiangguo doesn't need to send it, our family is gone!" Qin Xiangguo still personally sent him out of the mansion.

Qin Yan snatched the holy decree from his father's hand and left, Qiu Xiaoyue pulled his sleeve and didn't let go.

At this moment, another wave of fathers-in-law announcing the decree outside the door came.

This time it was Gonggong Cai, the chief eunuch in the palace.

"Qin Yan takes the order!"

Qiu Xiaoyue forcibly stopped Qin Yan and knelt down again.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: 'Give Qin Yan a mansion in the east street of the imperial city, a hundred maids and slaves, 10,000 taels of silver, 10 good horses, 100 boxes of various colors of clothing, and 10 boxes of various colored gems and jewelry. Chin this! 'General Qin, please! Gonggong Cai looked at Qin Yan with a smile.

Qin Yan stretched out his hand to retrieve the holy decree and threw it on the table, then turned around and went to the inner house.

He is not a good-tempered person, he is just used to having a cold face and no one can see his emotions, and today's emperor's position has made him angry, but he can't vent his father's position, and the resentment in his heart has long been boiling. He did not return to his courtyard, but led the horse from the stable and flew up, beat the horse out of the city and went to the military camp at the western foot of Zhongshan Mountain.

After Qin Yan left, there were two more holy decrees, one was to reward the Qin family's decree; The other is to enjoy the objects of one item and two wedding rooms on the day of the wedding.

The grandmother in the palace of the seventh princess personally went to the Xiangguo Mansion and chose the courtyard that the seven princesses mainly used for the wedding.

During the half-day, the palace was full of people and traffic.

Qin Xiangguo and his wife were not only not happy at all, but they were even more panicked and had no idea. The two discussed for a long time, and asked the housekeeper to set up a car and go to the mansion of the lord of the Wulin League.

After the capital lit up everyone's tea and dinner for a while because of this marriage, Qin Yan never came back from the city that day. Qin Xiangguo and his wife Qiu Xiaoyue stayed in the Jade Mansion until the third watch, and then returned to the Xiangguo Mansion in despair.

Xiangguofu is very lively these days, and the people in the Seven Princesses Palace are constantly coming and going, constantly disgusting and complaining about the shabby and shabby Xiangguofu, and there are conflicts with the subordinates of Xiangguofu.

Qin Xiangguo and his wife dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and since then, the chickens and dogs have been restless.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the three of Weiyang had dinner early and went to rest.

When she returned to her room, she carefully tightened her chest with strips of cloth and changed into a set of gorgeous clothes that she had bought in the afternoon.

Although it is called a gorgeous dress, it is worse than what she usually wears. Moon-white inner robe, a coat with a cyan embroidered edge, oblique buckle than the armor, and a green hosta hair on the top. The original makeup on the face was dissolved with a special potion, the thick powder was laid on the bottom, the eyebrows were widened, the lips were thickened, the eyes were slightly squinted and the corners of the eyes were lowered, and finally the neck and hands were covered with a layer of lead powder.

Looking at the young man in the mirror with satisfaction, although he was angry with three points of bookishness, his face was vain and his body was thin, and the person who visited the Qinglou all the year round was probably this virtue!

The ruthless brocade wrapped around his right wrist, left the soul needle into his sleeve, and gave up a whip and a sword. Shake a poetry folding fan in your hand, and go out to the 'Xiangqiu' to look for flowers and willows.

Although Weiyang is stubborn and willful, he has never visited the Qinglou.

Came alone in the downstairs of 'Xiangqiu', collected his internal strength, pretended to be vain when he stepped down, his eyes were shining but half-concealed, and he looked hesitant. The 'sisters' who were smiling on the second floor had already seen it, and several people laughed and made a bunch, and the fan covered his lips and called him to go upstairs to sit down.

Weiyang opened the folding fan with a 'brush', shook it lightly and slowly, couldn't hide the yearning of the eyebrows at the corners of his eyes, as if he couldn't resist the beauty of the girls, he couldn't take his eyes off the girls' smiling appearance, and walked slightly shy to the door slowly.

Patronizing the girl upstairs, she tripped over the threshold under her feet, and the whole person fell into the door uncontrollably.

"Hey, who's pretty guy, you can slow down!" Mom waved the heavily incensed handkerchief in her hand and helped Weiyang get up, "Look at the son's talent, why is he so anxious, the girls won't run away!" Hee-hee, please come inside! With a smile on his face, he shouted upstairs, "Holly, come down and serve the son!" ”

Weiyang was so smoked by her mother's incense powder that she was about to faint, she lowered her head to avoid the handkerchief that was waved on her from time to time, covered her mouth and nose with a fan, and said nothing.

Mom mistakenly thought he was a scholar, and she was a little arrogant. Seeing that what she was wearing was extraordinary, he beckoned Holly, one of the three beauties in the building, to come forward and serve.

This holly is seventeen or eighteen years old, in the prime of jasper, wearing a cherry green gauze dress, half-exposed chest and neck, lined with a gouache skirt, tied with gouache on the waist, obliquely combed a bun, hairpin with gouache silk flowers, a golden step swaying with her weak willow wind posture swaying, it is very good-looking.

Weiyang squinted his eyes and looked stunned with his mouth half-open.

The holly orchid pinched a mandarin duck fan between her thin fingers, with a goose egg face, thin eyebrows and long eyes, and a skin race of winter snow.

"Childe, please sit upstairs with Holly!" The sound of the exit, that is called a soft glutinous, that is called a good sound.

Weiyang seemed to involuntarily follow the woman behind him, and both went upstairs.

There are more than a dozen private rooms on the second floor, and it is just night, but this gentle township is already full of lights. Weiyang seemed to casually look at the situation in this building, and quietly entered the box on the east side diagonally facing the stage on the first floor.

"Where is Childe from, and what is his surname? First time in 'Xiangqiu'? Holly asked in a coquettish voice.

Weiyang looked at Holly with good eyes, "Xiaosheng's surname is Ning, he is from Wu County, he came to Luochuan to find friends without success, and he will return home tomorrow!" She sat honestly on the couch, speaking in a proper manner, without any eagerness.

Holly looked at the handsome scholar beside him and was a little moved, eighteen or nineteen years old, his appearance was not outstanding, but he was a little tall, he spoke decently, the clothes and accessories on his body were fine, and the hairpin on his bald head was worth a hundred gold. Among the many girls, Holly has always been pretentious, knows some poetry and music scores, and can dance and play the piano, which is very favored by her mother.

A maid came up with tea, and Holly told her to tidy up the top table table, fill a pot of wine, and bring her harp. Sent the maid to Zhang Luo, turned around to see that Weiyang did not object, the smile on the corner of his lips grew, and he lay on the couch with Weiyang, whispering to Weiyang in a soft voice.

"Young Master Ning, tonight is a good day for Miss Rose, the boxes around here are all here for Xunfang, is Childe too?" Holly looked at Weiyang with half a sneer.

"The holly girl is so beautiful, where can Xiaosheng still see others!" Weiyang learned to see Zuo Qing's treatment of Jiang Qingcheng in the closet that day, stretched out a hand to pick a strand of hair that fell from her forehead, and curled it between her fingers and looked at Holly gently.

Holly is here every day, and it seems that such a gentle and gentle son is really rare to see, and his heart is filled with his compliments, and he shyly holds Weiyang's hand in his hand, and touches it carefully, just like playing the piano.

Weiyang wanted to withdraw his hand very much, gritted his teeth and resisted the impulse in his heart, forced out a smile, and talked to her.

When the food was served, the drums sounded downstairs.

The two looked down through the railing, and a woman on the stage began to stroke the piano after the drum, which was a song 'Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix', the song was tactful and lingering.

Someone next to him suddenly excitedly shouted 'Rose Girl' and 'Rose Girl'!

At the end of the song, the rose girl lifted her veil and stood on the stage with all kinds of charm. Mom immediately came up, "Everyone is here for roses today, and I don't talk nonsense, those with the highest price can get roses for one night!" ”

There are a lot of customers sitting on the first floor, and they can't really afford the high price, but they are willing to join in the fun at this time.

"The price of silver starts at one hundred taels, start now!" Mom shouted for the price.

"One hundred and ten taels!" There was a bid in the easternmost box on the second floor.

"One hundred and thirty taels!" Someone shouted the price in the box next to Weiyang.

"One hundred and fifty taels!" "One hundred and eighty taels!" "Two hundred taels! ”……

"Two hundred and thirty taels!" The box on the second floor facing the stands was being sold.

Weiyang watched the crowd in amusement.

Halfway through the second watch, Cangxin and Feng Sacrifice should be somewhere in this backyard at this time, Weiyang was a little worried, and twisted his eyebrows slightly.

After a lively shift, after the third watch, the rose was auctioned by the person in the box in the middle of the second floor at a price of three hundred taels.

"Childe, the rose is yours tonight, may I ask which silver ticket you use?" Mom asked with a smile.

I didn't see anyone in the box for a long time, and when the smile on Rose's face was about to be hung up, my mother looked at her, and the two thugs rushed from the first floor to the second floor and attacked the box.

Almost instantly, the two were thrown into the stands downstairs in unison, and Rose turned pale with fright and hid behind her mother.

A figure dressed in arrogant red rubbed his eyes and frowned and pouted and stood at the railing, "It's so noisy that I can't sleep well, master, you 'Xiangqiu' want to become a lonely grave?" ”

The familiar voice was in his ears, and Weiyang raised his eyes to see, it was really Zuo Qing!

"Since Childe is interested in roses, he should pay for it, isn't this going to be a debt?" Mom's face was fierce, and more than a dozen thugs had gathered behind her.

"Don't say that the master has no money, even if he does, he won't buy an ugly monster. If the master knew that she was so ugly, he would not want to ask for three hundred taels of silver from the master. Zuo Qing's scoundrel appearance really made Weiyang want to kick him twice.

"Where did Childe start with this, the beauty of the rose girl is seen by everyone, isn't your unreasonable words mistaken for Qingqing? Mom is used to seeing all kinds of people in such places, and there are more than a dozen thugs behind her, she can't let Zuo Qing cheat for half a point, either take the money out today, or save her life and stay for a while!

"In a word, the master is not satisfied, return the goods!" Zuo Qing opened a pair of big eyes, and he bit out the innocent taste of the word return. Fuping his robe was about to leave, and said with a scoundrel face: "The master has no money, what can you do to me?" ”
