Volume III-6 First Marriage (I) (I)
First married as a monarch
After a morning of apprehension inside and outside the palace gate, Xinjie no longer wanted to go down in a daze according to his grandmother's puzzle. What kind of weight and charm Zhou's Wanning has in the palace and even in the capital, if he didn't know before, now looking at the performance of Yiyi and others, he can guess it. And in order to avenge the destruction of the Zhou family and the Yan family for his woman, he has recently used a lot of his own power to find all kinds of information from the beginning, and the only surviving descendant of the Zhou family and the Yan family will face The potential risks he will face He also has to consider for her. He wanted to give his beloved woman a name and comfort him, so as to avoid further interference in his marriage by the ancestor of Yumen, and he also wanted to give his woman the protection she deserved.
"Shall we go home or go to the Aoki Tea House?" She found that this was not the way back to Nanqin's back street.
"I'll take you somewhere." This was the way to the Aoki Tea House, but Xinjie didn't stop at the door of the Tea House, but continued to walk half a street west, turned right, and stopped at the entrance of a wooded courtyard. The trees are abundant, the flowers and trees are sparse, and the courtyard is scattered, which is generally simple and generous, not luxurious, but the layout is atmospheric and practical. There are four courtyards in total, and the innermost one is a set of seven independent small courtyards outside the main house. Each small yard is delicate and small. And next to the Aoki Tea House, the courtyards of the neighbors on the left and right are also very quiet.
"Shall we move here?"
She didn't speak, just looked at him.
"Do you like it?"
"I like it, especially the small courtyard with a cloister, if the cloister is full of flowers, it will be even more cute."
"Shall I plant you with roses? Later, I will leave you a small study room, a place to run errands at home during the day. This side is close to the tea house, which is convenient to come and go, saving some time on the road. ”
"Hmm."
"Then I'll let Liu Jin pay the money." Liu Jin is the current shopkeeper of Yuehuaxuan in the capital, and the earliest treasurer of Yuehuaxuan in the capital, and then was sent to other places to open a new Yuehuaxuan, and was recently transferred back in order to strengthen the protection in the capital. "Let him rush these days and clean up this place according to your wishes." He didn't say the latter words, but asked Liu Jin to install protective mechanisms in the places she often went in and out of this courtyard, and improve the manpower of ambush and guard in some places. Xinjie was only introduced to this courtyard a few days ago, but now that he has made up his mind to get married, he quickly started to do it, he can't let time slip away, let alone lose her.
"What about Nanqin Road?"
"It's so small, I used to live on my own, and if we get married, I hope I can give you a better place. ”
She didn't speak, just looked at him.
"Would you like to marry me?"
"Wasn't it yours long ago?"
"I mean, I'm going to use the best sedan chair in the capital to carry you through the door, worship heaven and earth, and make you my wife and mistress here."
After discussing it with his own woman, Xinjie rarely went to the Tang family's old house to find Xintian.
When Xintian understood the brother's intention, the hand holding the teacup tightened, was it really lost? But a brother is a brother, and she only has this brother in her heart. On the day she held hands with Xinjie, he was gone. In other words, he has never had a relationship with her, it is all his wishful thinking. He was also puzzled by his grandmother's arrangement, and gave him Lian'er, but he didn't have a name. He had thought that if his brother could not give her a name in the end, he would intervene and fight for her best interests. Now that Xinjie has this heart, he is sad at the same time, but also comforted her. Seeing the strange expression in the eldest brother's stunned expression, Xinjie jokingly said: "I told the eldest brother at the beginning that I would not give the eldest brother a chance to perform in front of her." ”
Xintian smiled open-mindedly: "Since you repeat what you said at the beginning, and I repeat what you said back then, it's best not to give me this opportunity, otherwise as a brother, I will never take into account our brotherhood." The latter words are still the same, even if she doesn't have a family member, you have to remember that Xiao Jiu and I are her backing, don't let your women bully her. ”
Xinjie smiled slightly: "Don't dare, just your two mother's family, as well as Xu Zheng, are desperate masters." What's more, where am I willing to be bullied by others?! ”
"It's good that you kid knows!"
"But this time, I really have to let the eldest brother show his face in front of her."
"What do you say?!"
"Ask the eldest brother to officiate the wedding for us."
"Huh?!"
"My grandmother traveled abroad, and the return date was undecided, and my father was in Kansai and it was inconvenient to enter Beijing. And with the current situation, it is inconvenient for the people who control Xiwei to enter Beijing. ”
Xintian nodded. Although the emperor is still hanging, he has less time to be awake and more time to sleep. Yuxiwei not only has the superficial task of guarding Xiguan, but also a reserve placed by the royal family in Guanxi. With the distance from Kansai to the capital, it is not too far to support the capital in addition to the defense of Gyeonggi.
"Without parents, will it make the wedding look too hasty?!" Xintian frowned, he only wished she could have the best of everything.
Xinjie sighed: "I also want to give her the best wedding, but everything else can be ignored compared to her safety." ”
Xintian listened and didn't speak, which is indeed the most important thing. Now Lian'er's identity is only the cousin of the Tang family. Strictly speaking, not the Tang family. Although he knew that Xinjie had made his own Aoki Society submit to her, and recognized her as the heroine and Xinjie, but in Tangmen, she did not have a clear identity. The power of the Tang Gate in Gyeonggi Province was only above that of the Aoki Society. He also received the news about the affairs in the palace yesterday, and the queen's small movements were also known. Although the affairs of the Guo family started from Jing'an, the queen was angry with Lian'er, this queen who was soft and kind on the surface, but secretly she was a ruthless person. Although she is protected by the Queen Mother, the world is unpredictable, and he understands that the protection of the Tang Sect in the palace is also a guarantee that his brother wants to give her.
"Although there is no high hall for the wedding, we have the most honored guests of Da Zhou." Xinjie said confidently. The female official Zhou Wanning got married, even if the queen mother didn't come herself, at least she would send a decent grandmother to give gifts. There are also people from the Chen family, and maybe the prince will also come.
Xintian also smiled: "This is the wedding of our chief steward of Baicaotang, and Baicaotang will naturally prepare the first dowry for the chief steward in the capital." ”
Xinjie also smiled, even if Baicaotang and the Tang family didn't give it to her, he would, and he had already presented the Aoki Society that he had built himself.
The brothers felt that they could not wait for a long night, so they agreed that the wedding would be in a month's time. Because Tang Lan would not object to it no matter what, just to ask for his consent by letter, which is nothing more than a formality. The two discussed, and Xintian immediately wrote a letter to his father in Kansai, and sent someone from the Ping An Inn to send it to his father in Kansai urgently.
After Xinjie went down to court the next day, he also asked to see the Queen Mother for the first time. The reason for appealing to the Queen Mother was that maybe something big would happen soon, and he hoped that in case of any accidents, Lian'er could get the protection of the Tang family as the Tang family. Chen Mural is a sensible person, and she has always treated Ning'er as her granddaughter. Xinjie can envision this for her, and of course she is happy to see it come true. And another reason also made Chen Minghua feel that this family business must be fast.
"A few years ago, my nephew and grandson accidentally offended Miss Ruoxue of the Lan family, and I was afraid that the Lan family would be angry with her." Xinjie said cautiously.
When this was mentioned, Chen mural raised his eyebrows. It is reasonable for the Lan family to cultivate their own power, and if Yiyi wants to sit firmly in the future in the future, he also needs the auxiliary forces of all parties, but in addition to the old Kang Ninghou of the Lan family, who is indeed her good help, the other descendants are not successful, and the queen also lacks wisdom. If it weren't for the various shortcomings of the Lan family, she would not have acquiesced to Yixiang as the crown prince at the beginning. In her early years, she took Yiyi to her side and raised her, because she was afraid that the Lan family would bring a good child to her side, and she raised it by her side, and many problems could be rectified. Now Yiyi looks okay, but the Lan family, although they are old friends, she can only sigh and look at their own creation. Being able to condone the Guo family's sesame mung beans made the capital boiling, and everyone in the government and the opposition knew it, and finally slapped himself in the face, which shows the stupidity of the people in charge of the Marquis of Kangning's generation. The queen and the Lan family only knew the glory of the Tang family and the Chen family, but they didn't know that these were her son's best backups in the future. I just want to support the Lan family by myself. And narrow-minded, although she didn't say anything about her plan to summon the prince's women into the palace the day before yesterday, she was clear. She just kept the meal, and directly mixed up the scene where the queen was busy for half a day.
So Xinjie said that she was angry at the moment, and she recognized it very much in her heart: "This mourner knows it." Therefore, the mourning family has also explained everywhere, as long as Ning'er enters the palace, they will want to protect her. At least the queen still needs to give me face as an old woman now. ”
"Xinjie first thank the Queen Mother for Wan Ning."
"It's not about your face," the Queen Mother waved her hand: "Wan Ning is the heir of my Chen mural." ”
Xinjie was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, yes, the ministers are all the light of Mrs. Zhan." In the future, I will have to rely on my wife to support my subordinates. ”
Chen Mural smiled happily: "It's good that you kid knows." ”
Xinjie immediately said: "The minister understands. As the heir of the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother can give her an external explanation, it will be easier for her to deal with the families of the Prince's Mansion and the women of these big families in the capital. ”
Chen mural scolded with a smile: "You monkey spirit, but you will beg for things for your daughter-in-law." ”
"That's not begging, it's the queen mother who cherishes her younger generations."
"Okay, follow you, Mama Qin," the Queen Mother summoned the Chunhui Palace steward on duty: "After a while, let them draw up a decree, grant Zhou's Wanning the four products of the South Study, and allow him to enter and exit the South Study and the Wenxian Pavilion Great Library freely, and allow him to enter and exit the Tai Hospital to inquire about various medical classics in the Xianci Pavilion." You go to the Inner Chamberlain Mansion in a while, let them restore the female official Wen of Wanning, and award Zhou's Wanning as the first-class deacon female official of my Chunhui Palace, and allow her to live outside the palace permanently, and only come back for duty during the Four Seasons Sacrifice Ceremony. ”
