Chen Yu did not stay in Jiangling for a long time, and King Jinglian sent a letter urging him to go back.

I heard that Chen Yu sat on Wu Yan's Mansion for a long time before leaving, and when he came out of Wu's Mansion, he looked anxious, so he packed his bags and set off to return to Beijing immediately.

Later, I asked someone a few words about what happened in Beijing, and the government was tight-mouthed inside and out, and refused to say whether it was alive or dead. It's just that some people speculate that it is a matter of national capital.

The end of the year is approaching, and Xue Ji will not stay in Jiangling for a long time.

This year's Chinese New Year is more lively than ever, and everyone knows that Xue Ji is going to leave Jiangling and enter Beijing, and he is surrounded by emotion and congratulations, some of which are sincere and do not know for the time being, but it really makes Xue Ji irritable.

Xue Yao still didn't approve of Xue Ji's choice, but Xue Ji didn't listen to him, Chang helped Xue Ji, and even Xue Qi agreed by default, holding back his anger for a long time, and didn't take care of his youngest son for a few days during the New Year.

At night, Chang put down the embroidery work in his hand, pushed open the window and pointed to the layout in the courtyard, looked at Xue Yao and complained: "Qingzhi got married in a few days, and the house is busy, so you don't care about it." ”

Xue Yao leaned on the couch and carefully looked at the jade in his hand by candlelight, unmoved. "Cheng is gone, after getting married, I won't even stay in Jiangling, what can I ask."

"That's what I said, even if he is a marquis, isn't he still your species?" Chang Shi glanced at him and closed the window. "He touched the pen with one hand when he grabbed Zhou, it was providence, what are you stubborn."

"Providence and providence, you women and Taoists are talking nonsense about Providence!" With this, Xue Yao's anger came up, if it weren't for the jade in his hand, which was very brittle, he would definitely fall to the ground. "What is he going to do with the pen? Can't write an article, write a poem or paint? I have to fight for a few mouthfuls of imperial food! ”

Chang's Xunzi sat down in the chair, took a sip of tea to reduce the fire, but couldn't come down, and said faintly angrily: "You only have a share of this business, how do you want to divide the two sons?" Qing Zhida Primary School is an ancient book that has been handed down, and you can't let him do business with this? You can raise him for a while, but what about later? The eldest already has a family, how can there be any reason to raise a younger brother! Now that Qingzhi has found a way out and is willing to forge ahead, you are not allowed! ”

"Women, what do you know!"

In the end, the good jade was not saved, Xue Yao fell like this, and it fell to the ground with a simple sound.

The seventeenth day of the first lunar month -

The Shen family and the Xue family are both well-known families in Jiangling, and these two families are naturally lively when they get married, beating gongs and drums on the street, and there are neighbors on both sides of the road who come to watch. Seeing that the groom Xue Ji was full of smiles, wearing a red robe with red satin tied on his chest, riding a horse to lead the sedan chair back to the house, this scene was very festive.

Unlike the children of rich families, Xue Ji rarely goes to the land of fireworks, this is the first time he has intimate contact with a woman, Xue Ji's hands are shaking when he hugs Shen Yurong and gets off the sedan chair, and he has to lose not throwing his new daughter-in-law down.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Second worship high hall!"

"Husband and wife worship each other!"

Courtesy.

Although Xue Ji was nervous in his heart, he still felt that it was unremarkable, and even getting married was too boring, in the final analysis, it was a set of rules and etiquette, and he was tied to a woman for a lifetime, look, how boring.

Xue Ji is not allowed to think too much, Shen Yurong does not intend to let him continue to be boring. Only then did she send the bride Shen Yurong into the cave room, and when she turned her head, she lifted the hijab herself, looked around, picked out a book of poems and returned to the couch, leaned on the couch and the corner of the wall, and read it by herself.

"You ......" Xue Ji saw this situation when he came in with a body of wine.

Shen Yurong just glanced up at him without much panic. "Husband?"

Xue Ji walked up to her and sat down, suddenly feeling that it wasn't so boring. "How do you ......"

Xue Ji didn't finish speaking, just probed up and down. Shen Yurong understood what he was asking, let go of the book in his hand, smiled and responded: "It's not interesting for me to sit here, I'll have fun by myself, my husband won't blame, right?" ”

"How?" Xue Ji hurriedly said: "It's good." ”

Shen Yurong was slightly stunned, what ...... Pretty good? When I looked up and saw that there was affection in my eyes, it was inevitable that my cheeks would be hot, and I lowered my head again.

Delicate and lovely, with poetry and books in her belly, this woman has aura! tied to her for the rest of her life...... It's good. Xue Ji thought about it and blew out a few lights.

"Let's rest."

I had to work for a few days after the wedding, if I didn't think that this was the last few days in Jiangling, where would Xue Ji be able to endure so many courtesies. Finally came to the last day of the return ceremony, early in the morning to prepare the carriage and horses, Xue Ji and Shen Yurong had dinner and went back to the Shen family's old house, this is the first time Xue Ji saw the second elder of the Shen family, the second elder does not talk much, the body bones look tough, probably do not like to take care of things, after the tea the second elder went back to the house, even the work of entertaining and talking was thrown to Shen Changqing. It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, although Shen Changqing always looks like a gentleman, Allah is not ambiguous at all, and he deserves this eldest brother.

It was rare for Shen Changqing not to joke with Xue Ji, and said with a straight face: "The Shen family is not a famous family, but it has a few small amounts of money and a few relationships. Today, I can help you enter Beijing, but if you dare to do something that likes the new and hates the old, I can also teach you the stakes and disadvantages. ”

Xue Ji didn't dare to laugh, he naturally knew that his wife was a pillow person for life, not to mention that Shen Yurong was in line with him from appearance to temperament, how could he not think of doing something foolish?

"Brother, rest assured, Xue Ji will definitely live up to his jade appearance for the rest of his life."

"Okay." Shen Changqing looked at him for a while before continuing: "I'll add a few more dowries to my little sister, and you can take them carefully." ”

After that, Shen Changqing didn't wait for Xue Ji to express his doubts, then took out a box and asked someone to hand it to Xue Ji. "The Shen family's land in the capital, the location is good, and the place is not small, I have already asked people to take care of it, and you can live in the capital."

Xue Ji was stunned for a while, and didn't answer for a while. Xue Yao and Chang only gave him thousands of taels of gold and silver for him to squander, if he wanted to gain a foothold in the capital, gold and silver were not enough, he never thought that it was his wife's room and the Shen family that gave him a foothold. He couldn't help but want to figure out whether the Shen family loved Yurong...... Or do you think he has a future and only makes money when he buys it?

Shen Changqing knew what he was thinking when he looked at him, in fact, he had both, this place was far away in the capital Chang'an, and the Shen family rarely had business in the north, and it was empty and empty, not a favor. If Xue Ji can really become famous, the love of this place will be a hundredfold reward. If it can't be done, and there is nothing to do in the court, such a good piece of land can ensure that the little sister and brother-in-law have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Xue Ji accepted this generous gift, and saw Shen Changqing take out a long piece of satin wrapped in satin. "It's a dowry, but it's not."

When the words fell, he pulled away the satin, and there was a dagger lying quietly inside, with clear lines on the sheath, it was a five-clawed golden dragon, and this thing must be extraordinary.

"Law, you return this dagger to King Ning."

Xue Ji turned out to be a dagger, although he didn't know why this thing was in the Shen family, and what the Shen family had to do with King Ning, but he could vaguely understand what Shen Changqing meant. It was not the dagger itself that was given as a dowry, but a thread for him and the powerful.

Whether it is real estate or relationships, what the Shen family gave him is something to gain a foothold in the capital, and with this alone, Xue Ji can't live up to the Shen family, and he has to remember this kindness. This is also Shen Changqing's consideration, exchanging the dispensable things of the Shen family for the gratitude of a young man who may be prosperous, and at the same time exerting pressure. The two daughters of the Shen family are married to the sons of the Xue family, which makes him afraid or grateful, at least Xue Ji understands in his heart that the Xue family and the Shen family share glory and disgrace.

Xue Ji thought that this was gone, but he didn't want Shen Changqing to take out a sandalwood box again.

"This thing was beaten by my parents when they got married, it's not a valuable thing, and it can't give you powerful connections, so it's up to you whether you take it or not."

Open a look, it is a glass ornament, carved is a pair of beautiful people, this glass texture is crystal clear and brilliant, a pair of beautiful people are difficult to hide, so look more exquisite.

Xue Jichang breathed a sigh of relief, got up and bowed his hand, and then replied sincerely: "Brother is thoughtful, and this benefit and affection have been given...... Xue Jizi wants to collect it. After receiving the gift from his brother, he should do what his juniors should do. ”

This is considered an answer, Shen Changqing smiled and nodded, this in-law, or this deal, is decided.

As soon as the first lunar month passed, the snow and ice had melted, and the river outside Gangneung City melted and began to flow.

As soon as the spring breeze came in February, it brought a continuous drizzle, and the flowers and plants on the roadside began to bud, and the branches and leaves of the trees also returned to verdant.

A high horse roar penetrated the early morning sky, waking up many people in the east of the city, the sky was hazy, and a carriage came out of Xuefu, drove out of Jiangling City, and went all the way north to the capital Chang'an.

In the car, Shen Yurong wrapped around Xue Ji's arm, and the bumps and bumps along the way made her nauseous and unbearable, she had never suffered much since she was a child, and it was rare to know that she was gentle and lovely, where could she endure such a toss.

"How many days does it take to go to the capital? When will I rest at the station......"

This is the question that Xue Ji hears the most all day, he knows that Yurong is uncomfortable, but it is a long way to go to the capital, and it will take more than ten days to change the best horse to drive there. As for the post station, it is too late to stop at the post station every night to rest and then rush the next day, so do you have to rest for a day or two?

"It's going to be fast, if it's uncomfortable...... Shall I give you a poem? ”

When Shen Yurong heard this, he didn't even care about being uncomfortable, he actually rubbed Xue Ji's shoulder with a smile, and said, "That husband is chanting poetry, I'll sleep with you for a while." ”

Trekking through mountains and rivers like this, the sound of reciting poems kept coming from the car, and Shen Yurong took out the jade flute and closed it when he was interested.

When the sun is thin again, the sky is getting late, the moon is on the top, and there is still a light rain in the sky. The carriage slowly stopped outside the post station, Xue Ji first lifted the curtain and got out of the car, raised his hand to open the umbrella, and then turned around to support his wife with one hand and the umbrella with the other. The two have been married for less than a month, and it is the time when it is like glue, which makes people look red.

"This son!"

Xue Jizheng helped Shen Yurong into the post station, and wanted to go up to the second floor to live, when he suddenly heard a call from behind him, and when he looked back, a man dressed as a scholar and carrying a bamboo basket was wiping the rain on his forehead, looking embarrassed.

"This son, in Xu Lang, has no words, and the people of Xu Cheng are about to enter Beijing to take the exam. Seeing that Gongzi was also going to the capital, Tang suddenly asked, is Gongzi willing to take it on the next trip? ”
