[Chapter 5: Emperor Shenwu in Xingqing Palace] (1)
Although Xiao Jiangyuan doesn't understand the rhythm, he knows whether it sounds good. Thinking of helping Li Longji fill the pear orchard, he looked at it.
The singing was immediately interrupted by a burst of laughter and scolding.
"That's not a soldier of ten thousand horses...... Li Ye frowned, "I dared to rob the people's daughter on the street, and injured the father of the little lady, didn't they treat my Datang law as an ornament?" I'm going to tell the third brother! ”
Li Ye was just about to turn around and go downstairs, but Xiao Jiangyuan stretched out his hand to stop him: "The slave has her own plan for this matter." ”
When Li Ye heard this, he sent a servant to borrow his power to save the little lady first, and invited his doctor Han Si to come over for the little lady's father, but unfortunately the old man was too seriously injured, and before Han Si arrived, the person swallowed his breath.
Because of saving people, the courtyard of this house was dirty, and Xiao Jiangyuan didn't plan to go to see anything else, so he directly transferred the house, and asked Li Ye to send someone that night, and in the main hall of this house, he built a mourning hall for the little lady's father.
Li Ye pulled Xiao Jiangyuan's sleeve: "Ah Yuan...... This is your new house, and the housewarming banquet has not yet been held, so I got a funeral first, and I have no relatives with you......"
Xiao Jiangyuan doesn't care about things like the so-called bad luck. She thought for a moment and said meaningfully: "Maybe there will be relatives soon." ”
Li Ye: "??? ”
The little lady looked like she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, thin and beautiful. Although she didn't look too sad, she still knelt down and thanked her.
Xiao Jiangyuan thought it was quite interesting: "What's the lady's surname, can you read a book?" ”
"The slave's surname is Lu, and the two-mouthed Lu is Lu." Lu Niangzi couldn't help laughing at herself, "My father once opened a private school, and then his family fell into the middle of the road, so he planned to send the slave to the Goolan Courtyard in Pingkangfang to be the famous prostitute who dealt with high-ranking officials and nobles, so he taught him carefully - but unfortunately he failed today." ”
That's why she sang on the street, but she didn't want to attract a group of disciples.
Li Yeqi said: "How can there be such a father in the world? ”
Lu Niangzi said: "Hearing this Langjun call you 'king', you must be either a prince or a county king, naturally you don't know the evil in the world, and you can think of how far it goes." ”
Li Ye asked again: "Looking at the clothes of your father and daughter, it seems that they have not reached the point of exhaustion, why did he do this?" ”
Lu Niangzi's tone was very light, as if what she said had nothing to do with her at all: "In order to exchange money for my brother to buy a dowry and pass on the lineage." ”
Xiao Jiangyuan nodded secretly and said, "We will save you, help your father arrange the funeral, and we will also build a small courtyard for your family in Changfang, and marry a good wife for your brother." ”
Lu Niangzi glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan fixedly: "If Lang Jun has any orders, he can say it bluntly." ”
Xiao Jiangyuan walked up to Lu Niangzi and stretched out his hand to her: "Marry me." ”
Lu Niangzi has always been calm and composed, even when she guessed that the two of them in front of her were noble and comparable to the king of the county, she was not surprised, after all, Chang'an was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the nobles were always handful. But when she heard that Lang Jun, who she met for the first time, was about to marry her, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and her cheeks were slightly red and annoyed: "Although Lang Jun is the benefactor of the slave, the slave is not Lang Jun's plaything. ”
Li Ye was also shocked: "You...... Do you really want to get married? ”
"I'm serious." Xiao Jiangyuan smiled lightly, "This is the saint's brother, King Xue, and below is the saint's personal attendant, the general of the right prison guard, and Xiao Jiangyuan, the inner attendant." The people you met today are the soldiers of the Ten Thousand Cavalry, and because they are friendly with Wang Maozhong, the general of Long Wuwei, they have the courage to do such rampant things today. They don't dare to do anything to King Xue and me, but they dare to do anything to you. You are lucky today, but you may not be lucky every day, and if you marry me, they won't dare to touch you. And I just need someone to help me look after the house. ”
Li Ye interjected and muttered: "If it's just looking at the house, I can help you find someone, what do you have to ......?"
Knowing that Xiao Jiangyuan could say it, that is, his mind had been decided, and Li Ye couldn't help but let out a long sigh. When he was young, he may have blocked and said something flamboyant and reckless, but now he is also a young man, and the father of several children naturally can't be as open-mouthed as before. Although he can't understand or agree, he can respect and obey all of Xiao Jiangyuan's decisions and choices, and even help unconditionally.
Li Ye was in such a situation, Lu Niangzi saw it in her eyes, and she was shocked again in her heart - she had only heard of Longyang's goodness, and this was the first time she had seen it.
And the eunuch in front of him is indeed delicate, and his shallow smile also makes people feel like a spring breeze, and they can't help but get close. Lu Niangzi is not such a shallow person, and she will dislike that the eunuch is not a real man. She also recognizes the reality, and she has long since lost any extravagant hopes for her marriage match, and now this eunuch is actually a good match among good matches for her.
It's just that she is still in a dream, because so far, everything is benefiting her, which makes her feel very unsure. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiangyuan seemed to be able to see through her heart, she was still groaning, and Xiao Jiangyuan had already spoken:
"I only need you to do one thing: keep in mind the things of today, and I will need your testimony for the future."
Li Yefangcai's puzzlement immediately had an answer.
Lu Niangzi carefully recalled what Xiao Jiangyuan had said, and also understood something.
Xiao Jiangyuan said again: "The current marriage match is to ensure your safety, if you don't want to, when my business is done in the future, I can give you a book and leave the book, and I can also help you prepare a dowry." You also know that I am a eunuch, and the so-called marriage is just a formality, and I am on duty in the palace on weekdays, and I rarely have the opportunity to come back, every month...... It's only three to five days. All you have to do is help me take care of the house, and when I get back, cook me something to eat, and nothing else. ”
In fact, Lu Niangzi was already at ease just now, and she had made a decision, but she didn't expect Xiao Jiangyuan to think about her so much, and she didn't treat her as a human being because she was using her.
Looking at the eyes of King Xue staring at Xiao Neijian, Lu Niangzi knew that Xiao Jiangyuan did not do it on purpose, and even a long time ago, she was such a considerate and thoughtful person.
So, what else could she not promise?
The fact that Xiao Jiangyuan had a mansion in Chang'an soon spread throughout the government and the opposition. At the same time, the news of a woman living in her house also spread.
By the time Li Longji found out, Xiao Jiangyuan was already posting a wedding post.
Now that Shiro's funeral has passed, the Yellow River has been flooded, and the courtiers have begun to argue again. After accumulating one by one, Li Longji was already very upset, and when he heard that she really wanted to marry a wife, he was immediately furious.
Seeing that Li Longji was really angry, Xiao Jiangyuan first retreated from everyone, and then obediently walked to Li Longji and sat down. She was about to speak, when she saw him turn and turn his back to her. She sat down across from him again, not wanting him to move again, and turned her head to the side where she was away.
Xiao Jiangyuan: "......"
Finally, she relented, and he even put up a shelf.
Li Long basically didn't want to put up this shelf, because Xiao Jiangyuan wanted to marry a wife earlier, because he favored Wang Maozhong too much, and because of the death of Concubine Zhao Li, he was somewhat weak-hearted, and he agreed to it by mistake for a while. Although he was angry now, he knew that he was very unreasonable, and he didn't know what kind of reaction was right to give at first, until he saw Xiao Jiangyuan.
He didn't know what changes Xiao Jiangyuan had experienced in his mind, but it was her who was weak this time?
The opportunity must not be lost, the loss will not come again, if you don't release it at this time, when will you wait?
Although he was like this, he was not at ease, and from time to time he used his spare eyes to spy on Xiao Jiangyuan's reaction.
I saw that Xiao Jiangyuan smiled a little more helplessly, sighed, and said, "There is a reason why the minister did this. ”
Li Longji couldn't help but pout: "What reason can you have?" Marrying a wife can strengthen your status as a eunuch, who would have thought that a woman could also marry a wife, but you are just guarding against me. ”
Xiao Jiangyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
In fact, when she was doing this, she didn't think about this aspect at all. But she didn't want to explain, so she said: "The minister promises everyone that when the time comes, the minister will give everyone a reasonable explanation." ”
Li Longji snorted lightly and said, "Then I'll wait and see." ”
"If you want to get married, the minister wants to take leave......"
Li Longji rolled his eyes: "I'll only give you one day off, and after the wedding ceremony is over, get back to me immediately!" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan's marriage has indeed become the hottest topic in Chang'an in the past two months. There was no civil and military force in the Manchu Dynasty who did not give gifts, but Lu Niangzi was busy. She proposed that Xiao Jiangyuan should be a third-grade official, buy some slaves and maids to strengthen her face, and also help her, but Xiao Jiangyuan bought it, and sold it again after the wedding, saying that she didn't want outsiders at home.
Hearing that she was already an insider, Lu Niangzi's cheeks were slightly red, and she turned blue again: "That's such a big house...... Do you want me to clean it alone? ”
Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan was stunned for a moment, and didn't speak for a long time, Lu Niangzi couldn't cry or laugh: "Didn't Xiao Langmo not think about this problem at all?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan coughed lightly and said, "Then you can hire a few people to sweep, the kind that can take care of the home and nursing home if you are strong, the fewer the better." They are not allowed to come to the inner courtyard, my house, I can clean it myself. After thinking about it, he said, "Remember to register the gifts received before, and return the gifts in time. ”
Lu Niangzi only felt strange. On the night of the wedding, the two of them slept in separate rooms, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, but she also felt quite unpleasant. Even if he is a eunuch, since they are married, they should sleep in the same room, even if it is not on the same couch, otherwise it will reach the ears of others, and they don't know how to laugh at her-
Even a eunuch was not satisfied with her as a woman.
No, why should she care what others think and say? She should have been prepared to marry a eunuch when she could have agreed to marry her, anyway, in the eyes of the world, it is already a joke for a woman to marry a eunuch.
Thinking about it, she became open-minded again.
"You ......" Xiao Jiangyuan wanted to call Lu Niangzi, but only then did he realize that he didn't know her name.
Lu Niangzi not only didn't care much about this, but also wanted Xiao Jiangyuan to help her choose a new name: "That name is the past me, and in the future, I will be a new me, so let's start with a new name." ”
Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a while and said, "Then there is a single name 'cloud', Yun Niang." ”
Soaring.
