Qi Su Niang watched the royal meal pass on, the two elder brothers and Zhang Pengxi accompanied the emperor to dinner, and Chen Yan withdrew. She was about to step forward to wait for Kangxi, but Li Dequan shook his head slightly and motioned for her to step back.

Qi Su Niang was inexplicable, so she also withdrew from the hall, and saw Chen Yan walking on the stone path in front of the hall, looking back frequently.

Chen Yan saw Qi Su Niang coming out of the hall, his face was happy, and he stopped on the side of the road.

Qi Su Niang hesitated slightly, and Wei Zhu on the side grinned, and said: "Miss Qi, the emperor decreed that you and Lord Chen should marry within ten days, and the reason is to avoid suspicion, but the matter is so urgent, except for the thirteenth master's request to handle it on his behalf, there is no respect, and it is only right to discuss it carefully." ”

Qi Su Niang smiled and nodded in thanks, and slowly walked down the steps to the tree on the side of the road. Locust trees are planted all over the Texas Palace, because it is early autumn, and it is still densely shaded. Chen Yan looked at Qi Su Niang's face and hesitated: "Su Niang, are you still worried that the emperor will give me a marriage?" ”

Qi Su Niang looked at Chen Yan for a long time, nodded slightly, and shook her head again.

Although Chen Yan didn't know what he meant, he still comforted: "I am a Han person, even if I am a first-class member, there is no reason to refer to a flag girl as a concubine, you don't have to worry." ”

Qi Su Niang smiled lightly and stared at Chen Yan, the dense tree sprout mixed with a little light and shadow sprinkled on the stone python robe, and the dark face was blurred by the tree sprout, but the clear eyes, clear and bright, looked at her firmly.

Qi Su Niang's heart moved slightly, and a wave of joy gushed out like spring water, flooding the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. Chen Yan saw her smiling, especially worried, her face suddenly brightened, her face was full of joy, the two looked at each other for a while, and Qi Su Niang finally burst out laughing.

Chen Yanfang was about to speak with a smile, but Qi Su Niang glanced at him, closed her smile, and pouted: "Brother Chen, why did you talk to the emperor about that, don't you know that I have encroached on Mintian?" Scared the hell out of me. ”

Chen Yan had never seen her angry, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, walked up two steps, looked left and right, secretly held one of her hands, and said softly: "Then how can it be considered encroachment?" The emperor Shengming, the two elder brothers and Lord Zhang are also there, the emperor just didn't expect you to be so good at saving money, if you say that you don't rely on the power to bully people, the ordinary people can't do it, if you say that you rely on the power to bully people, you have no less money. You've always been sensible, and I don't believe you can do anything. ”

"It's okay for Master Zhang and the Thirteenth Master, but the fourth elder brother didn't intercede for us."

Chen Yan shook his head and smiled: "Not to mention that you saved him once, even if it is someone else, most of the fourth elder brother can say it." He's just watching that the emperor won't really attack us. I was also beating a drum in my heart for this matter, but now I am telling this thing while someone can intercede, so as not to find out in the future, and the emperor will attack you. ”

Qi Su Niang glanced at him, bit her lip and said, "What do you say, if you don't let me, I dare not accept it, but I will also rely on your momentum." ”

Chen Yan clenched Qi Su Niang's hand more and more, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, just take it as fun, I'm always outside, can I stop you from having fun at home?" He sighed lightly and said, "Besides, you didn't get this money for me, for the sake of river work?" Master Zhang knows it, if it is normal, where is he the one who speaks for these things?" smiled slightly: "I just saw your appearance, I felt uneasy, Fang was waiting outside, now that I have made it clear, I can marry you with peace of mind." ”

Qi Su Niang snorted and said, "Brother Chen, how do you know that I will come out?" Just now, Gonggong Li asked me to step down, and I was still wondering. ”

Chen Yan said with a smile: "Monarchs, monarchs, monarchs and ministers, you don't take away your minister's wife." You're not a female official, but you're just in power. There are still ten days to get married, and the emperor has to avoid suspicion. ”

Qi Su Niang was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but chuckle, "The rules were also made......

The thirteenth elder brother asked for the marriage, and naturally dragged the fourth elder brother to discuss how to handle the marriage decently. Because it was ordered to get married, and there were two princes' golden faces, Li Mingzhi of Dezhou Mansion vacated a courtyard as a new house, Mrs. Li Futai's mother's family is a Texas family, Mrs. Liu recognized Qi Su Niang as her goddaughter, took her home, and invited her mother's concubine to handle the marriage for her.

Qi Qiang didn't get the news, but half of the dowry of the Queen Mother's reward came from the capital, a full thirty-two lifts, followed by two makeup for the ninth elder brother, two for the fourteenth elder brother, and two for the fourth elder brother, which is a favor. Kangxi also issued an order and named Qi Su Niang as a seven-grade widow.

Chen and Qi are both Han Chinese, and because the two families were only based on tokens, the rules of engagement were not completed, so they took advantage of the time to do it together according to the rules of the "three teas and six ceremonies" of the Han people in the south, and they couldn't help but be busy.

Neither man nor woman has any relatives, the fourth elder brother is the woman's parent, and the thirteenth elder brother is the man's parent. In the mansion behind the mansion, the fourth elder brother and Li Futai sat aside, Mrs. Liu of the mansion smiled, and then the man's big media Zhang Pengxi received wine, meat, tea, fruits, gold chuan, gold rings and other gift lists, and offered them to the front of the god cabinet, and the old wife on the side shouted: "The girl came out to serve tea." ”

Qi Su Niang's forehead was full of eyebrows, but her braids were coiled, holding the tea case, and first sent a cup of rock sugar orange cake and hundred fruit tea to Chen Yan. Chen Yan hurriedly took the sweet tea, according to the rules, but he didn't drink it, only put it back on his lips.

Qi Su Niang served another cup of lotus seed lily tea, Chen Yan only took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's more than enough, it's more than enough." ”

Qi Su Niang took a cup of tea, and presented it to Chen Yan, who drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Three teas are married, and peace and harmony are smooth." Chen Yan smiled and took out the Ruyi golden hairpin from his sleeve, and carefully inserted it into Qi Su Niang's hair, and the companion smiled again: "The golden hairpin is inserted, and the husband and wife are a hundred years old." ”

The day before getting married, the thirteenth elder brother went to the west courtyard for Chen Yan to urge makeup, and sent a phoenix crown, Xia Pei, and a full set of jewelry, and Liu sent the daughters-in-law and mother-in-law in the house to take the tent and the mattress to the east courtyard to assist the bed, and the cabinets were over, and the firecrackers kept ringing, and the thirty-eight dowry wore red and hung colors around the city, attracting onlookers all over the city, so it was not lively.

On the day of the wedding, the thirteenth elder brother took a red envelope in front of the yamen of the mansion and put it in the hand of his wife, and said loudly: "Give birth to a noble son early, give birth to a noble son early!" In laughter, he invited the bride to get into the sedan chair. The bridge was raised, Chen Yan was wearing court clothes, riding a horse and walking in front, and behind him were the Qinghe County canons and officials who accompanied Chen Yan. Along the way, the music and drums were played, and the sound of firecrackers resounded through half of the city of Texas.

In front of the gate of the courtyard, the two red boys offered jujube and lotus seed sweet tea, and invited the fourth elder brother, Li Futai and others to send their relatives to drink, looking at the red envelopes piled up on the tea case, someone shouted: "The groom invites the bride to come out of the sedan chair and open the box!" ”

Qi Su Niang walked out with a treasure vase and a Xipa, stepped on the rice bag and entered the door, and worshiped heaven and earth with Chen Yan. The person who opened the box outside accepted the money for opening the box, pulled his throat, and shouted happily: "One opens the world for a long time, the golden crown, the golden luozi, the golden head face six pairs---- two open the earth for a long time, the good Suzhou heavy brocade twenty horses, Hangzhou Huamian twenty horses, Jiangning Yuejin twenty horses, Jiangbei Ge banknotes twenty horses------ three open three sheep Kaitai, four seasons silk clothes sixty sets, big fur jackets, leather jackets twelve pieces------- four seasons fortune, lacquer makeup box six, bronze mirror six, lotus embroidered pillow six pairs, Mandarin duck embroidery quilt 12 beds ---five open ---"

The outside of the new house was very noisy, but the new house was quiet for a while, Qi Su Niang's eyes were full of bright red, and she couldn't see anything else, so she was a little apprehensive, but fortunately, after half an hour, she heard the happy women laugh and said: "The new aunt is lucky." Qi Su Niang watched Chen Yan approach from under Xipa, and was a little relieved, and Xipa was gently revealed. Qi Su Niang narrowed her eyes and slowly raised her head.

Chen Yan was wearing a big red auspicious suit, holding Xipa in his hand, his face was red, he seemed to have drunk too much, and he seemed to be shy, a little helpless, against the tanned face, it was very funny.

Qi Su Niang couldn't help but smile, Chen Yan saw her smile, so she also smiled, and the happy ladies waited and drank three teas, sprinkled the tent, said a few auspicious words, and withdrew with a smile.

Chen Yan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, folded Xipa and put it at the head of the bed, sat down next to Qi Su Niang, stretched out his arms to hug him, and sighed with a smile: "It's just the two of us." Qi Su Niang leaned on Chen Yan's shoulder and said with a smile: "But you drank it?" Seeing that you are dizzy, drink another cup of tea to wake up? As he spoke, he was about to get up, but Chen Yan hurriedly hugged him and said, "Don't faint, I know it's you." He said proudly: "I don't drink well, but I pretend to be drunk but it's quite similar, and the thirteenth elder brother is all in the way." ”

Qi Su Niang was stunned for a while, looked at him for a while, stretched out her fingers to scratch his face, and said shamefully: "When will you learn to wilt, push Brother up to block it, Brother Thirteen is still younger than you." ”

Chen Yan laughed, hugged Qi Su Niang, and leaned on the thick embroidered quilt, "There are too many entertainment on weekdays, if I drink from beginning to end, I don't have to do anything." Master Zhang taught me a trick, I drank three glasses and got drunk, if I didn't let go, I would go crazy drunk, what to do to be ashamed, the host family can't wait to drive you away. One wants to go and the other wants you to go, so that everyone's face is complete. ”

Qi Su Niang laughed when she heard this, and said, "Do you still have face? Just be honest, but don't get mad with alcohol. He smiled again: "It can be seen that it is not an ordinary person who can be an official, you have only been an official for a few years, how much thicker your skin is, you used to be-" As he was talking, he saw Chen Yan's face getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but get stuck in his throat.

Chen Yan lowered his head and imprinted a kiss on Qi Su Niang's face, and said vaguely: "How was I before?" As he spoke, he reached out and tore down the red silk bed curtain.

Qi Su Niang only felt that it was scorching hot in the small and closed red pin bed tent, Chen Yan's kiss was gentle and considerate but she couldn't wait, she couldn't spit out a word in a trance, and only heard his vague whisper: "Su Niang...... I've been waiting for you for four years......"
