First Marriage (III) (II)

In recent years, Xinjie officially appeared at the prince's side for the first time, accompanying the prince on his visits to the Turks as a special escort sent by the empress dowager, and his wit on the way and his ability to deal with problems during Turkic visits were greatly appreciated by the prince. In the handling of many events later, he seemed to be extremely sophisticated, and in his opinion, the rivers and lakes and the court were nothing more than people's hearts and minds. After secretly rescuing the crown prince and the current emperor several times, although he is still only a staff member of the prince's mansion on the surface, few people know that the current emperor has decreed that he is the general of Pingluan Pavilion Yutai, but the discerning person can still see the importance of him by the prince's side and the future court. So there are a lot of people who pay attention to him, woo him, guard against him, or calculate him. If he joins forces with Miss Wanning, the right-hand man of the Queen Mother's side back then, it will bring too many associations to people, making those who want to stammer want to stammering more, and those who want to calculate will be more calculating. And their passionate love that they can't hide is likely to be used by the other party as a weakness for attack. Instead of hiding, it is better to put this possible weakness in the sun, and if someone approaches, there will be shadows, which will be easier to guard against.

That being the case, they decided that Xintian would inform the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince of these analyses, no matter what the reason for the Prince's departure from Beijing was, but Xinjie's marriage to Lian'er had already been disturbed by the political situation, and had already kicked off the prelude to the commotion of the parties who were about to play.

So a plan to leave Beijing because of the prince's love, and the prince and his most trusted assistant were disgusted by women, quietly appeared, whether the prince really died or not, this time had to start with a gloomy boarding and leaving Beijing. Yiyi once again appreciated the absurdity of life, when he was true, he actually wanted to pretend to be false in front of his grandmother and the Tang brothers. This is also just right, he doesn't have to spend effort to hide the real grief of losing his true love.

The queen mother gave a generous gift to the wedding with the posture of enveloping the Tang Sect and heartbreaking old maids, boxes of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, clothing and jewelry, in the eyes of outsiders, are not worse than the dowry of the royal princess. In addition to the appointment of Yizhi that had been prepared earlier, he also specially sent important ministers from the DPRK and China to accompany Xinjie to welcome his relatives, so that everyone in the capital knew about the wedding. The Tang brothers pretended to be a gesture again, not wanting to be high-profile, and did not send invitations to the outside world, but only invited relatives of the Tang family in Beijing, so they made friends and voluntarily came to congratulate them. All of a sudden, whether it is true relatives and friends or fake closeness, it is difficult to make mistakes, and there are many discussions among the nobles, royal families and civil and military officials in the capital, and they don't know how to adapt. Give enough people the image of the Tang brothers who once gained power, arrogant and despised the will and talent. At the same time, it also makes people constantly wonder whether there is a knot between the prince and Xinjie, and the possibility of the monarch and the minister parting ways is born.

Three days before the auspicious day, the Queen Mother once again issued a special decree to let the Wanning girl take eight people to carry a sedan chair out of the pavilion from the mansion of the Marquis Wenzhao Mansion in the capital of Jiangnan. It is equivalent to giving the Wanning girl who does not have a maiden family as the queen mother's family. In order to appear solemn, the new house is not located in the garden that Xinjie just bought for Lian'er, which Lian'er has named Aokiyuan, but in the house where Xinjie lived when he was a child.

Although all this pomp and bustle is for people to see, Xinjie is still very happy that he can finally marry his most beloved person justifiably. And for him to avoid a trouble that is inconvenient to tell people, that is, the Queen Mother will turn Lian'er back into Ning'er and stay in the palace. Since the farce that Lan Xin brought him five years ago, he had been playing with life very cynically, and he had never imagined that he would love a woman so deeply for so many years, and that he would often suffer from gains and losses for her recently. Although today is to act for everyone to see, but his joy is extremely real, even Zhong Lin, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Zhang Zhaohan, a waiter of the Ministry of Works, who came to accompany him to greet his relatives, said in their reports to the Queen Mother and subsequent casual conversations with people that he was deeply in love with the bride, and he couldn't help but be happy.

From the Wenzhao Houfu Jingcheng Courtyard on the North Street to the Tang Mansion in the South City, To go around the imperial city for half of the capital, the blowing of the welcoming team was already enough to attract attention, and the dowry given by the Queen Mother was in the forefront of the dowry, and Xinjie specially prepared a hundred dowries for the beloved woman, and it was also brought back as a dowry at this moment. Jingzhong wanted to make friends with this indescribably noble, and the family of the female official of Zhou, who was close to the Queen Mother, even sent the female relatives to try their best to get on the middleman to marry the Chen Mansion to add makeup. Even the royal princess Jing'an has prepared a set of high-quality sea pearls to give away. Wealth and luxury have been envied, not to mention that the groom riding a high-headed horse is handsome and dashing, and accompanied by high-ranking officials to show his status, arousing countless envious and jealous eyes.

And the girls who were moved by this man back then were all gloomy, full of curiosity and jealousy about the people in the sedan chair. Although Lian'er sat in a sedan chair, with a phoenix crown and a veil covering her head, she had an intuition that two pairs of eyes staring at them among these people were full of hatred.

One of these pairs comes from her and Xinjie's old acquaintance Lan Xin. At the beginning of her return to Liaodong, because her father was closely watched, she indulged in carnal pleasures with Wang Yong every day. Both Wang Yong and her father and brother thought they could tie her down for a while. However, one day, after an all-night catharsis with Wang Yong, she felt extremely bored, so she left him and her children and secretly ran out again, first to the capital to try her luck and see if Xinjie would go to Beijing to report on work. Unexpectedly, she witnessed this wedding on the second day after she came to the capital. Originally, she just watched the excitement with everyone, but she never expected that in this capital, the noisy welcoming team belonged to Xinjie. This groom, who was supposed to be her, is still handsome and elegant as a fairy, and more mature and seductive. Today's pomp and circumstance are far more prominent and luxurious than the wedding in Xianyang back then. This kind of glory, wealth and extravagant show-off is not what Wang Yong's small work at the end of the world can give her. Although she didn't understand why Xinjie would have this wedding in the capital, if the person in the sedan chair was the demon girl, then she would have the skin of the meat to eat one day. Lan Xin actually looked charming, and the ruthlessness and anger in Danfeng's eyes made some people on the opposite street feel quite interesting. Turning his head and instructing his subordinates behind him, soon halfway through the dowry of the wedding procession, a mediocre-looking man was already standing less than ten steps away from her and observing her.

As the procession walked through Magnolia Street, Xinjie felt that he saw a pair of familiar eyes in the crowd, which were full of charm and charm. Although the owner of these eyes covered most of his face with a veil, her bewitching dress and coquettish figure reminded him of the demon nine-tailed fox who had chased him and his eldest brother in southern Xinjiang, and later fought with him repeatedly on the way to the Turks. At this turbulent time, this demon also came to the capital, and I don't know what kind of storm she will set off. The groom, who was originally full of joy, frowned unconsciously. However, since he was a child, he has long been accustomed to soldiers coming to block and water to cover the earth, in addition to sending a message to his subordinates to let them strengthen their precautions, he put the matter aside for the time being.

At the entrance of Yonghe Lane, the carriage of the Rongguo Mansion passed quickly here, galloping towards the old mansion of the Tang family. In the car were the lady of the Rongguo Mansion and the young grandmother of the third room, Qiu. Because Qiu came back late from the courtyard, Duchess Rongguo had to leave late. At this time, I hurried to it, hoping to arrive before the auspicious time to salute. Otherwise, it would be rude. Duchess Rongguo glanced at her maiden niece with disgust. The third child was originally a concubine who passed it on to her, although she was charitable on the surface, she still didn't like the child in her heart. I don't know what Lu Cai thought, he seduced the Qiu family, and he had to marry him. made her want to snub them, and the couple couldn't bear it. After all, Qiu is the only daughter of his mother's brother. Although the Marquis of Anding's Mansion has been unknown in the court in recent years, Qiu Jun is still a talented talent. Over the years, the seafood business on the East Road has been operating well. Qiu Jun also asked Qiu to bring her some hard-to-find good goods from time to time, and let her give them away, earning a lot of face, so she didn't show the three of them a look.

It's just that the Qiu family looked extremely lazy today, and the Duchess Rongguo endured it for a long time, and finally spoke: "I asked someone to inform you a few days earlier, we have to go to the Tang family's wedding early today, why didn't you come back early last night?" I have to come back from Nanshan Villa today. It's just enough to come back today, why don't you go out early? ”

Qiu Shi looked at the wilting one, and he never contradicted her usually, but today he still said obediently: "Sanshao said that I would stay in the other courtyard yesterday and not let me go." ”

Duchess Rongguo became angry when she heard this: "Three Shao, San Shao, I really don't know why you chose Lu Cai in the first place, what kind of thing is he worthy of you not marrying?" If you don't do your job all day long, there is no room in the house, so I will be tired of gnawing on you. Are you stupid?! ”

Qiu Shi just smiled and lowered her head and didn't say anything, she didn't want to at first. If it weren't for Lu Cai to design her, how could she marry obediently, not to mention that the eldest brother's business really needed to turn over at that time, and without the Lu family's dowry, it is estimated that the business would collapse at that time. Of course, if there was no aunt to mediate, the dowry would not be so rich, so Qiu married and was still filial to this aunt. After all, Lu Cai was not born to her, and her aunt didn't know about Lu Cai's crooked ways. As long as Lu Cai went outside to find a way out, he would not harm the interests of the two cousins, and Qiu didn't want to tell his aunt Lu Cai.

"You are young and ignorant, and you think that men are only good for you and a woman, and men are not fed, and your body will suffer in the future."

Qiu smiled bitterly: "My niece knows, I will tell the third master." ”

She was very depressed in her heart, where Lu Cai couldn't feed, that is, a demon who was not hungry. He's just going to recruit some hungry ghosts.
