18 The Great Play Begins
Yun Jiuling's beautiful eyes were slightly rippling, her expression was mysterious with joy, she bowed slightly, and waved her hand at Li Chan:
"Xiao Jiu, please give peace to Princess Ping'an!"
"No excuses."
Li Chan had a cold face and snorted:
"This palace gives you the magic mirror, so that you can shoot some materials about Yourong's life, you are good, you shoot in the Guozijian every day!"
Yun Jiuling hurriedly leaned over, licked her delicate little face and said:
"The princess doesn't know, my sister didn't get close to men before, and she didn't have anything to shoot.
It's different now, my sister is about to get married, and the reason for this must be very exciting! ”
Li Chan frowned.
"This affectionate woman who kills a thousand knives...... Forgot about Hongu so quickly! ”
"This is a good thing, my sister has a man, and no one will criticize you in the country, in the name of a normal good sister, wouldn't the princess be able to do more?"
"You have a lot of ideas...... Let's talk about it, what kind of perfect man can impress Yourong? ”
"It's a disciple of the Confucianism and Taoism Academy named Jiang Chen, who looks very handsome and has good poetry.
The background and talent are a little worse, but it seems to be quite hard, and I can't extricate myself from the practice.
I heard that it was because I accidentally touched my sister's body and was forcibly caught by my sister at home as a son-in-law. ”
"Can this kind of man be spared?"
The princess was wrong.
The brother-in-law was caught by his sister, and then he was saved by his sister, and he will be very obedient after marriage, and he will not dare to disobey his sister, this kind of man is a baby.
If one day in the future, the princess will be a concubine for her brother-in-law, won't she be together with her sister every day? ”
Li Chan glanced at Yun Jiuling coldly.
"You dare to choreograph Hongu?"
Yun Jiuling stuck out his tongue in fright.
"Ahem, it's just a beautiful suggestion, princess, don't take it to heart, there are too many fantasies, it's not good to hurt your body."
Li Chan glanced at Yun Jiuling, she had long been accustomed to her imagination without a lower limit.
"If you want me to say, the first strange thing in Datang is that princesses can't get married every day!
I have been in the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, and the aura has been revived for 800 years, and those dog clans still look down on my Li family dynasty, and they are just breaking the clan one by one, so do you still want to continue the incense for thousands of years?
What else did you say about the princess of the Li family...... It's all prejudice!
Hongu is gentle with heaven, okay? ”
Yun Jiuling was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously:
"Princess, do you mean the last time you went to heaven in a powder keg?"
The corners of Li Chan's eyes twitched slightly, and she continued to talk to herself:
"This palace has a hard life.
It's too boring in the palace, if I can marry a good man, can I still like a woman?
I can't imagine that my dignified princess of the Li family, in your fantasy, can only be reduced to a concubine. ”
Yun Jiuling smiled and said with relief:
"It's just a formality, times have changed, princess!
I think back then, my aunt was also a princess, didn't she start as a concubine, and only became a regular after she survived the death of her wife.
The princess really wants to be big, and she can let my sister be small, and she will definitely not care about such a small thing.
In my opinion, my sister doesn't necessarily have sex with him, and you don't have sex with him, you can sleep with your sister. ”
"You're so foolish!"
Li Chan had a straight face, and her voice was angry.
"A son-in-law is also dignified, if his wife and concubine don't have sex with him, why don't you let your sister-in-law replace him?"
Yun Jiuling thought about it seriously, and shook his head with a shrunken head.
"This kind of story can't be judged!"
Li Chan gave her a blank look.
"And don't you dare to think of stories? What's more, you don't have the surname Cui ...... Where is the son-in-law now? I'm going to take a look at it first. ”
Yun Jiuling took out the magic mirror with broken lenses, and said sadly:
"My magic mirror was accidentally broken by my brother-in-law last night."
"It's okay, I'll give you a new one."
"At noon today, Baicao Garden...... There will be a big drama to watch! ”
……
Herb Garden, bamboo forest to the east.
Because Wuyue had been cultivating in the pool, Jiang Chen was not embarrassed to take a bath, so he meditated in the bamboo forest for a night.
Fortunately, Assistant Teacher Yun's magic mirror could not penetrate the high-level defensive formation that shrouded the hot springs, otherwise he would have to be completely high.
Dawn.
Jiang Chen got up, went to the bamboo house to take a look, and then went to the hot spring to take a look, but he didn't see the figure of his senior sister.
Even Wuyue is missing.
"Wuyue, are you there?"
"What?"
The little maid still dares to ask her master what is the matter? It's a woman who has a period!
"Did I ask you?"
"Yes."
After training the maid, Jiang Chen asked:
"Senior sister hasn't come back yet, will it be dangerous?"
"Nope."
"In that case, I'm resting."
Saying this, Jiang Chen took off his clothes, waded into the water, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
……
It is ten o'clock in the morning.
The Zhang family came to the door to propose.
And so, a magical scene happened.
On the one hand, the Zhang family was led by the grandmother of the Cui family, and the gongs and drums were noisy and mighty to go to the Cui family to propose marriage.
On the other side, the Cui family is preparing for another wedding with great fanfare.
The neighbors all felt that this was a sign of troubled times.
Six people came to the Zhang family.
They are-
The grandmother of the Zhang family, the six-pin Zen master.
Mother Zhang, a seven-grade Confucian teacher.
Zhang Gongzi himself, an eight-grade Confucian teacher.
The matchmaker of the Zhang family, the third-in-command of the ordnance supervisor, Li Luo, and the five-grade craftsman.
There were also two servants who drove the car.
There is another person, Cui Yourong's grandmother, who actually came to be the matchmaker of the Cui family.
A total of six large boxes of dowry gifts were carried: high-quality cotton silk, gold, high-quality jade, two spirit beasts, and 8,000 spirit yuan.
Although there are a lot of gifts, the etiquette is still not enough.
Even in the Xianwu era, most of the six wedding ceremonies were simple, and I had never seen anyone who directly brought gifts without the words of the matchmaker.
And the Cui family only received the news one hour in advance.
Qiu Gong, who has the power to lean towards the government and the opposition, supports him, and has the nod of the Cui family, and the Zhang family proposes marriage with a condescending attitude.
Even Zhang Gongzi himself came, wanting to see the bride in advance.
Seeing that the Zhang family was rude to this point, the Cui family's welcome lineup was also very confused.
Li Lanxiang herself, eldest daughter-in-law Chen Ting, two maids, and two maids.
Nope.
None of the children were present.
The housekeeper and his subordinates are all in the marriage between Zhang Luo Jiangchen and Cui Yourong, and they do not avoid outsiders.
The Zhang family's profiling team marched through Nanxian Fang, led by a member of the Cui family into the Baicao Garden, all the way through the Lingtian, Huafang and the pine forest hunting ground, and then entered the magnificent Cui family's main hall.
The group was so tired that Li Lanxiang went out to greet them.
She first gave Li Luo, the chief secretary of the ordnance superintendent, a slight salute.
"Master Li, don't come unharmed."
Li Luo is a middle-aged man with a short and thin body and bright eyes, he met Li Lanxiang in his early years, if it wasn't for Zhang Jiancheng asking him for help, he wouldn't have been involved in this embarrassing thing.
"Princess Lanxiang is very polite."
Li Lanxiang looked at Mrs. Zhang and her party.
"I've seen Mrs. Zhang, there are many things in Qingming, and I have lost my welcome."
Mrs. Zhang is a six-grade Zen master who has entered the WTO, dressed extremely luxuriously, with white hair dyed black, more than 200 years old, with a strong face, and his momentum is quite extraordinary.
It is said that when she was young, Mrs. Zhang was the nurse of Gong Qiu's eldest grandson.
After getting married and having children, Qiu Gong became a eunuch from the palace...... This matter was a secret in the past, and when the world knew about it, Qiu Gong had already leaned into power, and no one dared to gossip.
As for why a nursing mother can practice meditation and marry into the Zhang family after cultivating to the sixth grade, there are many rumors in the rivers and lakes, and there is still no conclusion.
In short, Mrs. Zhang's status in Chang'an City is much higher than her cultivation and family, and she is here to come to the town today.
As soon as she entered the main hall, she glanced around, and saw that the Cui family's welcome was too simple, and the old lady was quite unhappy in her heart, her eyes were slightly cold, and she said quietly:
"In the Xianwu era, there was not so much attention, and Princess Lanxiang was exempt."
This sentence of princess is rude, and it is extremely arrogant!
The middle-aged woman with a fat figure and beautiful dress on the side is Zhang Gongzi's mother, who has practiced in Guozijian for several years at the same time as Li Lanxiang, and can be regarded as half a classmate.
"Farewell to the country, I haven't seen you for decades, and Princess Lanxiang doesn't seem to be getting old at all."
Li Lanxiang bowed slightly, and only said:
"It's not as good as Mrs. Zhang."
After speaking, Li Lanxiang bowed slightly to her mother-in-law on the side.
"How is my mother-in-law doing lately?"
Mother-in-law He Rui had a cold face, she was already tall, thin and cold, and her cold face looked even more mean.
"If you can succeed with the son of the Zhang family, my health will naturally be fine."
Mother Zhang hurriedly introduced her baby son:
"This is the dog Zhang Wei, I brought him here today to meet your family."
Zhang Wei gestured towards Cui Yourong, but his eyes were full of pride.
"The little nephew has seen Mrs. Cui."
Li Lanxiang looked up.
I saw that this Zhang family was tall, slightly fat, and his facial features were not ugly, wearing a white Confucian robe, holding a carved folding fan, and a gentle and elegant high-grade Confucianism.
"Yourong has always been uncertain, and even I, as a mother, don't know where she is."
After that, Li Lanxiang added another sentence and blocked the mouths of Mrs. Zhang and Mother Zhang in advance.
"Lan Xiang is lonely and weak, and none of the children are obedient, so everyone laughs, and please come into the hall and take a seat."
Then he led everyone into the front hall and ordered the maid to serve tea.
Mrs. Zhang took a sip of tea before gradually dissipating her anger.
"Today, there is indeed a rush in the matchmaker's recruitment, although I am angry with Mrs. Cui, but this matter still depends on the meaning of Princess Lanxiang."
Li Lanxiang did not intend to make decisions about Yourong's marriage.
"Yourong, this child is single-minded, arrogant, and has always rejected men and women, so I rejected the old lady last time.
Now that she has found a good relationship with herself, she agrees with her feelings, and she has long lived together, and she loves each other, how did I break up? ”
Old Madam Zhang's face suddenly darkened.
"So, you are a dignified Cui family, and you can't even do the marriage of a little girl?"
Zhang Wei followed and said:
"The little nephew really admires Senior Sister Yourong, as long as she can be with her junior sister, the little nephew doesn't mind her past."
Mother Zhang also said:
"I heard that the disciple of Guozijian in Yourong is just a poor scholar who has not yet entered the product, how can he be worthy of Rong? Could it be that Princess Lanxiang is deliberately ruining the reputation of my Zhang family? ”
Li Lanxiang said:
"People are allowed to choose by themselves, not for the Zhang family, not to mention that Jiang Chen is very talented, and he had an epiphany the day before yesterday."
Zhang's mother didn't believe it.
"Guozijian hasn't enrolled in school today, where is that Jiang Gongzi now?"
Li Lanxiang only said:
"Jiang Gongzi has been practicing quietly in the house, and he never wants to see outsiders."
The mother-in-law kept a straight face.
"Lan Xiang, your reputation as a princess of the previous generation is not as loud as it was back then, you can't be petty anymore, we all have to see the current situation clearly, and we must not spoil a big thing for the sake of our children's private affairs!"
As soon as the words fell, a high-pitched and long blue bird luan drove from the direction of Nanxian Fang-
"Princess Ping'an has arrived!"
