On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sound of firecrackers is removed from the old year, everyone wears new clothes, new shoes, and new hats, and says some auspicious and good words when they meet people, and the children's favorite is to ask for red envelopes.

Concubine Xie got up early in the morning to give red envelopes to the younger generation, and Qianshu also gave red envelopes to Aunt Lin Bolin and their girls and grandsons, and also gave He Jue a package.

Qianshu had to rush back to the capital and give red envelopes to the people in Jixiang Snack Shop and Ruyiju.

Several carriages stopped in front of her door, and the Wen family sisters and brothers and Qianshu, Concubine Xie and He Jue, and He Dongfeng all had to go back to the capital to visit relatives.

So, Aunt Lin Bolin took the girl and her little grandson to the capital to play.

When she arrived in the capital, Qianshu took out a large pile of red envelopes and sent them to the guys, and she sent the red envelopes of bamboo incense and begonias separately, with one hundred taels of silver tickets per person.

Taking advantage of the crowd, Qianshu and Wen Jinghan mentioned Zhuxiang Xiao Jiu's marriage, and said that Zhuxiang was her right-hand man, and she would prepare a wedding room for Zhuxiang, so that she could take root in the capital with peace of mind.

Wen Jinghan said that since this is the case, he also has to get half of the money to buy a house for Xiao Jiu.

Zhuxiang has no elders in the family, Xiao Jiu has a big brother Xiao Qi, but because of the fact that he wanted to send the Qinglou to Qianlong, he turned his face with Xiao Jiu, and now he doesn't know where he went.

Qianshu and Wen Jinghan single-handedly arranged their marriage, specially invited the matchmaker's wife, and also invited the fortune teller to combine the two of them.

said that it was the sixth auspicious day of the first month, Wen Jinghan and Qianshu responded with a mouthful, and each gave the matchmaker's wife a heavy reward of one hundred taels, so that the matchmaker's mother's three books and six ceremonies were properly arranged, and they must be decent.

Zhuxiang and Xiao Jiu were grateful for the arrangement of their masters, and vowed to follow their masters in this life.

"There are still a few days before they get married, will this wedding room be too late to be decorated?"

"Don't worry, I have a house on Linshui Street, which was originally set up to entertain guests from afar, it is a courtyard of the second entrance, although the house is not big, it is enough to live Xiao Jiu and Zhuxiang, as well as their children. If they have no objection, they will be arranged today, and it will be in time on the sixth day of the lunar month. Wen Jinghan said.

Qianshu thought, this house is for Zhuxiang, it must not be too small, she wants to go and see it.

Wen Jinghan took her to walk over, not far from the auspicious snack shop, because it was to entertain guests, the original furniture was not shabby at all, wine and tea were readily available, there were five rooms, a maid lived in the front, and there were four rooms in total, even Xiao Jiu and Zhu Xiangsheng had a litter of cubs.

"Yes, it's not too big, it's just right for them. See how much money you need, and I'll pay you. ”

Wen Jinghan received two hundred taels from Qianshu, and Qianshu gave him one thousand taels: "Don't fool me, how can the house in the capital be cheap?" I will take this thousand taels to prepare for their wedding, and I will pay you another money for the house. ”

"We're friends, so why do we need to see each other like this? Besides, Xiao Jiu has been with me for many years, and I should give him a house. ”

Qianshu had no choice but to take him.

Although Xiao Jiu and Zhuxiang's marriage was set quickly, it was not hasty at all. As soon as the money for the matchmaker's wife is in place, the matchmaker's wife is neat and decent.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the groom's official Xiao Jiu set off from the house on Linshui Street, and the lineup of brothers who received relatives was particularly luxurious, not only his master Wen Jinghan, but also Lord Lang Pei, who was followed by the prince of Jin.

The place where the bamboo incense is out of the pavilion is the Ruyi Ju side building, Qianshu deliberately let the flowers and clouds dress up the bamboo incense, and the wedding dress on the bamboo incense is Qianshu let the begonia rush out of the work, it is a new style, plus the delicate and unconventional embroidery, especially noble and special.

The hijab is also a new style, such a set because people outside have never seen it, as soon as the bride comes out, everyone thinks it must be a lovely person just by looking at that posture.

The big red sedan chair carried the bride back to the auspicious house on Linshui Street.

The mouth of the matchmaker's wife is better than that of Jin Lian, although she doesn't have to worship the high hall, but she also gives tea to their respective masters.

Wen Jinghan drank tea, handed over a red envelope, and gave a pair of lifelike mandarin duck jade pendants, and Qianshu gave a pair of delicately carved gold and tillian.

The people present were envious when they saw the reborn parents of a new couple making such a generous move.

After the visit, the bride was sent to the inner room, and the bridegroom continued to entertain everyone during the banquet.

Bamboo incense choked a little.

Qianshu comforted on the side: "The bride can't cry, she has to laugh happily." I'm afraid you'll be too hungry, I've asked Hua Rongyunshang to prepare some food, and you have to fill your stomach. ”

Zhuxiang wanted to lift the hijab, but Qianshu stopped: "You are not allowed to lift it, this has to wait for the groom to unveil it." Flowers, clouds, bring some pastries and see what the bride likes to eat. ”

"Yes."

Zhuxiang looked down and saw that there were all kinds of pastries on the tray in small bowls and plates, as well as lotus seed white fungus syrup, red dates and wolfberry drink, sweet wine glutinous rice balls, and a small plate of glutinous rice.

She said that she wanted to eat sweet wine dumplings, and Yunshang fed her carefully.

In addition, the place where the banquet is held, Ruyiju, has been replaced with a large round table, and the elegant room on the second floor is specially used to entertain VIPs.

This wedding wine was a great success.

Xiao Jiu has never had such a momentous moment of emotion, excitement, and gratitude in his life, he drank when he saw someone, and he almost got drunk, but Wen Jinghan helped him block a lot of wine.

He Dongfeng also drank a lot. Watching others do happy events, he couldn't help but think that he would also do happy events on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month. A successful man will inevitably have such a festive time in his life.

In the past, when he married Fu Qianshu, although the pomp was big, there was no sincerity, so that every time he toasted with someone, it was a bit false, and with his identity, the officials who came to drink the wedding wine did not dare to go too far.

was sent into the cave room, and no one dared to make trouble in his cave room. He drank a lot of wine, his mind was still sober, he disdainfully picked off her hijab, her face as beautiful as a peony, but still could not arouse him a little pity.

It is said that the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, but he has someone else in his heart. When performing the conjugal ceremony, he even blurted out that he was calling someone else's name.

Although he knew that he was sorry for her, he still didn't care about it, less than half a year after he got married, he accepted the Xu family as a concubine, and after more than half a year, he married the Chen family, and in a few years, he was a four-room concubine. In his opinion, every concubine is like a flower, but Fu Qianshu is better, and he stays in the courtyard of the concubine more than hers.

When he no longer needed the prime minister's power to reinforce, he wanted to divorce her. Marrying a side concubine is just the beginning.

However, man is not as good as heaven, and he is planted for his conceit. In her words, he was really hopelessly scumbag.

It's no wonder that she is as hard as iron and refuses to forgive him.

"Master?" Chao Yu saw that his master's face was not good, and he was a little worried.

"Nothing. It's me who is sorry for her, and I am willing to use this life to atone for my sins. ”

But in Chaoyu Qingchen's view, the master is the pride of the sky, and it is very rare for him to be able to do this for the princess, and the princess refuses to forgive the lord, so it is too cold-blooded.

He Dongfeng blinked his confused eyes, looked at everyone's compliments to the groom, and said that the bride was beautiful, and they all wished them an early birth to a noble son.

Hearing this, his heart tightened. After marrying Fu Qianshu, all his thoughts were spent on consolidating the position of King Jin and supporting His Royal Highness the Prince, and he didn't want to have children born to a prince or other concubines too early. As a result, the kitchen of the palace became a place for him to do his work.

Whether it is the princess of Jin or the aunts of the palace, they have not come out all these years, and the mother concubine blames Fu Qianshu for this, and he also lets it go.

If he hadn't been so ruthless back then, maybe he and Fu Qianshu would have had a child long ago. If there are children, their relationship will not even be maintained.

blame yourself, blame yourself for being ignorant, blame yourself for being stubborn, blame yourself for never taking her to heart.

He Dongfeng poured another glass of wine, and then staggered to his feet.

"Master?" Chaoyu Qingchen followed him closely.

He wanted to see Fu Qianshu, urgently. He wanted to confess to her and repent of his indifference to her in the past few years.

Outside the palace has its own liveliness, but there is not much New Year's atmosphere in the palace. The emperor was also accustomed to the palace walls trapping all.

The prince was born on the sixth day of the first month, and at this time, the East Palace did not dare to hold a feast, but was more cold and solemn than usual, especially this year without the crown princess, the East Palace was even quieter.

The emperor dismissed those who had fallen behind, leaving only a eunuch to follow him. Every year, the sixth day of the first lunar month is the day when he remembers the queen.

Slowly pacing along the path to Kunning Palace, this noble man has to do at this time of year, not one step less.

But this year, under the shadowy palace lamp, behind the shadowy bushes, a touch of palace clothes was revealed, accompanied by a painful wail.

The eunuch wanted to step forward, but the emperor stopped him. He stepped forward himself, looked behind him through the bushes, and his heart was beating rapidly with a peerless face under the lamp.

He came back to his senses a little and walked up to the palace maid: "Who are you?" Dare to hide here. ”

The palace maid looked panicked, her round eyes were more like frightened deer, and the flickering of the palace lamp was reflected in them.

"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die." She tried to kneel, but her legs were oozing blood.

"Always there, bring it back to the Heart Nourishing Palace."

The eunuch often responded in a thin voice: "Yes." ”

This night, no one knew what happened in the Heart Cultivation Palace, only that a few days later, this little palace maid became the emperor's concubine. This is a unique thing in the harem of the Yan Dynasty, from the palace maid to the concubine, so many titles in the middle have been omitted.

The harem was in an uproar, but no one knew what the Qing concubine looked like, and they had no way to squeeze her. Because, Concubine Qing didn't even have a palace, she was allowed by the emperor and has been serving by the emperor's side.

Such a huge honor makes everyone unable to touch the north. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty listened, and a few of them advised the emperor, but they were punished by the emperor, and after that, everyone dared not speak.

In the East Palace, the crown prince and He Dongfeng mentioned this matter: "The Qing concubine was well hidden by her father, and there is no more news about this palace maid in this palace. ”

"Your Highness, the minister thinks that this matter is suspicious."
