The sky was getting brighter, Li Zhen slowly opened his eyes, the room was still filled with the unique fragrance of the cave last night, the curtain was lowered, Li Zhen suddenly realized that this fragrance seemed to be wafting from his chest.

He involuntarily gently stroked Di Yan's shiny and silky hair like a black waterfall, this girl who had lived and died with him had finally become his wife, she was like a gentle and well-behaved kitten, curled up in his arms.

'Hmm!' Di Yan was also awakened, "When?" she asked in a low voice.

"It's time to get up, you little lazy cat!" Li Zhen smiled and pinched her nose.

"People don't think about it, sleep a little longer. Di Yan twisted her body coquettishly and hugged her husband's waist tighter.

Di Yan was actually completely awake, she just didn't want to leave her newlywed husband, a smile secretly appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she pouted again: "Do you know why people agreed to marry you?"

"Because I am both talented and beautiful, and I am a young man!"

"Cheeky, where are you so good-looking, I don't see it, people agreed to marry you because you don't have to serve your in-laws, so you let me sleep for a while. ”

"Oh-"

Li Zhen let out a long sigh, it turned out that she didn't have to serve her in-laws, but this little girl still had a little heart, "But you have to serve your husband, right?"

As she spoke, Li Zhen's hand slowly slid to her chest, stroking her small and full shuangqiu, Di Yan's face suddenly turned red, she remembered the scene that made her extremely shy and ** last night, she changed from a girl to a young woman.

"All right, I'll get up and serve my lazy man. ”

Di Yan dodged Li Zhen's hand that continued to invade downward, jumped up from the bed, and then put on a soft silk robe, she opened the curtain, and the words of the flower candle in the cave room appeared in front of her, and an indescribable happiness suddenly surged in her heart.

At this time, Li Zhen also got up, hugged her waist from behind, and whispered in her ear: "Sleep a little longer?"

Di Yan snuggled in his arms, she understood what her husband meant, and couldn't help but blush and nodded, at this moment, the voice of the eldest sister Li Quan came from outside the courtyard: "You guys, go and clean up the east courtyard, don't disturb the rest of the newcomers here." ”

Li Zhen and Di Yan both smiled bitterly, who was disturbing their rest, Li Zhen was helpless, so he had to kiss his wife's face, "Come back at night!"

Di Yan lowered her head shyly, and at this time, she suddenly remembered something, 'Ah!', and said urgently: "Today you have to accompany me back to my parents' house!"

Li Zhen was stunned, "Didn't you come back in three days?"

"I thought it would be three days later, but yesterday my eldest sister told me that I was going back today. ”

Li Zhen scratched his scalp, quickly put on his clothes, and walked outside, Di Yan also put on a long skirt and a thin shirt, and followed behind her husband, Li Zhen pulled Di Yan out of the courtyard, and happened to meet Li Quan who was about to leave, Li Quan saw the two of them holding hands, and couldn't help but show a weird smile on his face.

"Did you get a good night's rest?"

Li Quan just asked, and hurriedly slapped his mouth, what is this called, and actually asked people if they slept well at night in the cave room.

Di Yan blushed, stepped forward and saluted, and shouted in a low voice, "Big sister!"

Li Quan suddenly smiled on her face, although she had always hoped that her younger brother would marry Wang Qingyu, but now she also wanted to open it, once Di Yan had a child, even if she gave her two swords, she would not ask for it, not to mention that Di Yan was the daughter of Xiangguo, and it was not bad to be able to marry her.

Li Quan immediately took Di Yan's hand and said with a smile: "In the past, only my brother and I relied on each other, but now there is one more brother and sister, I hope to add another one next year, and two more the year after tomorrow, and our family will be lively." ”

"Eldest sister, what are you talking about?" Li Zhen complained on the side.

"Go! Woman speaks, what are you talking about, by the way, you are going to accompany Ah Yan back to her parents' house today, do you hear!"

"Eldest sister, didn't you say that you won't be back until three days later?"

Li Quan laughed, "It is the rule of ordinary ordinary people to return to the door after three days, and the big families will return to the door the next day, besides, I have already said to Ah Yan's mother, you go back to the door today, go and pack up and prepare to leave!"

"Okay!"

Li Zhen had no choice but to agree, and was about to go to the inner hall with Di Yan to wash, at this time, Li Quan remembered something, and hurriedly took out a brocade box from his arms, handed it to Di Yan, and said in a low voice: "This is the congratulatory gift that Princess Taiping gave you yesterday, it is really scary, you can accept it yourself!"

"What is it?" asked Li Zhen curiously.

"See for yourselves, I'm going to arrange a carriage for you. Li Quan turned around and walked away quickly.

Li Zhen and Di Yan got together, looking at this brocade box, both of them were full of curiosity, at this time, Di Yan slowly opened the box, both of them exclaimed, only to see that the box was only a little smaller than a chicken egg, in the shape of a droplet, shining a faint luster in the sun, this bead they all know, it is the night pearl when Wei Tuan was eradicated.

The two looked at each other, they remembered that the bead was finally returned to the saint, but they didn't expect that now it was in the hands of Princess Taiping, she actually gave the bead to herself now, Di Yan was a little worried and said: "Husband, this bead is too expensive, can we have it?"

Of course, Li Zhen knew that Princess Taiping was very fond of jewelry, and this night pearl was also a priceless treasure to her, but she actually gave it to herself, which was already a sky-high price for her, and her purpose of winning over herself was obvious, if she returned the night pearl, it would be tantamount to rejecting her solicitation, which was an unwise move anyway.

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "We can't ask for this night pearl, but we are not in a hurry to return it to her now, and we will talk about it later!"

Di Yan had been following Li Zhen for a long time, and she was almost obedient to Li Zhen's words, she nodded, "Then I'll put it away first, and I'll return it to her later." ”

She took the brocade box and went back to the house first, Li Zhen looked at her and walked away, her heart was a little heavy, Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er were on the same page, if she accepted Princess Taiping's overtures, how would Shangguan Wan'er explain it?......

Newlyweds generally have to go back to the door after getting married, that is, to go back to the woman's mother's house, but the specific date of return is not necessarily, generally the third day after the newlywed to return to the door, but if there is an agreement in advance, or the woman's family is relatively strong, it is normal to return to the door the next day.

Although the status of the Di family is high, it is not strong, and it was actually Li Quan who took the initiative to let them return to the door the next day, also to respect the Di family.

This is Li Quan's shrewdness as a businesswoman, because their parents are not alive and there are no elders in the family, so there is no difference between returning to the door the next day and returning to the door three days later for their Li family, but it is different for the Di family, so that the gratitude of the Di family is exchanged for the smallest price, which is a good deal.

The newcomer's carriage slowly stopped in front of the door of Di's mansion, Mrs. Di had already waited at the door with several daughters-in-law and grandchildren, when Li Zhen helped Di Yan get out of the carriage, Mrs. Di immediately greeted her, Di Yan's nose was sour, and she threw herself into her mother's arms, they had only seen each other for a night, and that feeling seemed to have been separated for several years.

Mrs. Di hugged her daughter, whispered a few words of comfort, handed her over to her second sister-in-law, and smiled at her new aunt Li Zhen: "Father Ayan is waiting for you in the study! ”

Li Zhen saluted, "Mother-in-law can call me Ah Zhen in the future." ”

"Okay, I'll call you Ah Zhen!"

Mrs. Di smiled and asked her eldest son, Di Guangsi, to take Li Zhen to her husband's study.

In the study, Di Renjie was writing hard, and today he took a half-day off because his daughter and son-in-law returned to the door, and only went to the court in the afternoon.

Although he was on leave, he still couldn't rest, and was still considering recommending a new candidate, he and Lou Shide finally persuaded the Son of Heaven that the empress agreed to restore the seven-phase system, adding two more phases on the basis of the current five-phase, in fact, adding three phases, and a new phase country to replace Wu Sansi.

He and Wu Zetian finally reached a compromise, and he and Lou Shide and Zong Chuke each nominated one person, Zong Chuke nominated Yang Zaisi, the imperial historian, as the servant of the disciple, Lou Shide nominated Dou Lu Wangqin as the Zhongshu waiter, and Di Renjie proposed Yao Chong as the Zhongshu waiter, and the governor of the palace, all three of them are Xiangguo.

At the same time, Di Renjie planned to propose Luoyang Sima Zhang Khan Zhi as the squire of the Criminal Department, as the next candidate for prime minister.

At this time, the voice of the eldest son Di Guangsi came from outside the door, "Father, my uncle has arrived." ”

"Please come in!" Di Renjie put down his pen and hurriedly let his new son-in-law Li Zhen in.

Li Zhen walked into the study quickly, knelt down and saluted, "Son-in-law to meet my father-in-law!"

Di Renjie smiled and waved his hand, "Virtuous son-in-law doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat!"

Li Zhen sat down, Di Renjie gave his eldest son a look, and Di Guangsi retreated with interest, he knew that his father had something to say to Li Zhen alone.

There were only two Weng sons-in-law left in the study, Di Renjie smiled, and said to Li Zhen: "Since we are already Weng sons-in-law, then I won't speak as politely as before, don't see the virtuous son-in-law!"

"Back to my father-in-law, my son-in-law is willing to talk to my father-in-law about my heartfelt words. ”

Di Renjie smiled happily, took out a copy of the Son of Heaven's edict from the table, and handed it to Li Zhen, "This is this morning, the Holy Lord sent someone to send it to me, regarding your new position, the Holy Lord has agreed to transfer you to the place, you have no objection to this!"

Li Zhen nodded silently, this is what he negotiated with Di Guangsi, he has no objection, but he wants to know where his new position is, I heard Di Guangsi say just now that Di Renjie recommended himself as the governor of Pingzhou, which is not bad.

"The son-in-law is back in Pingzhou?"

Di Renjie shook his head, "That was originally my recommendation to the Holy Lord, but now it has been vetoed by the Holy Lord, and the current appointment is the recommendation of Princess Taiping, take a look for yourself!"

Li Zhen opened the edict and was stunned for a moment, it was written very clearly that he was appointed as the deputy guard of Xijing, that is, in charge of the military security of Chang'an, but it was a deputy position, Li Zhen didn't react at once, what kind of position is this?

Di Renjie smiled faintly: "Xijing is a high-ranking official of the third grade, and the deputy is the fourth grade, at present, the Xijing stay is concurrently served by Wu Youning, the king of Jianchang, and Wu Youning is also the general of the right guard, so he is basically in Luoyang, and the real power of Xijing is controlled by the deputy guard, you are also crowned the general of Zhongwu, plus your position as the marquis of Dunhuang County, you are now the title of the fourth grade, and you are in a high position, I hope you can do it yourself." ”

"The teachings of my father-in-law are remembered by my son-in-law!"

At this time, there was a maid outside the door to report: "Madame, please ask the master and the new aunt to be the dining hall!"

Di Renjie stood up, patted Li Zhen's shoulder and said with a smile: "Go to dinner first, go to the palace with me in the afternoon, and you have to thank the saint for the reward." ”
