Chapter 39: At the Wedding
In the early morning, he was pulled up by Si Qinmi, you can imagine what it was like to be pulled out of the bed by my mother at four or five o'clock in winter to buy vegetables.
"Your expression, I don't know and think that you are executing, you are marrying a wife, smiling, smiling......" put on a shirt for the sleepy-eyed Zhuang Xun, and seeing Zhuang Xun's face, Si Qinmi said with some amusement.
"Mmmm......" Slowly sobered up by the cold, Zhuang Xun agreed, and under Si Qinmi's service, the smile still couldn't be revealed.
There is the boredom of being pulled up by the nest, and there is also the unknown confusion that I don't know how to deal with the internal guards who caught people as King Qinghe said today, and I am quite worried.
"This jewel was bought by the concubine a few days ago, the blessings of you and Miss Li, Tuolangjun, have recently made a lot more business trips to Jidu." Siqin Mi placed a jade jewel on the jade crown above Zhuang Xun's head.
"It should be peaceful, so there are more merchants, what does it have to do with us." Zhuang Xun didn't think that he and Li Ruxi were married, which had the effect of attracting caravans.
"No, no, it's you, the second lady of the Li family got married, and all the dignitaries and nobles of the whole country came, these people can buy this kind of jewelry, aren't they?" Si Qinmi analyzed the reason and said, Zhuang Xun also had to nod.
"It seems that it is really possible that our wedding attracted it." Zhuang Xun finally smiled, he didn't expect that one of his weddings could actually promote business prosperity.
"By the way, lady, did you say there would be any accident today?" Zhuang Xun asked after being a little more relaxed.
"What do you think will be the surprise?" Siqin Mi asked rhetorically.
"Just like King Qinghe said, the palace guards made a move against the Li family and wanted to destroy the Li family." Zhuang Xun's worries never stopped.
So why do these people come to other people's weddings to make trouble, and they are also served, can't they change a few times?
"Does Master Li know?" Si Qinmi continued to ask, and at this time put on a red robe for Zhuang Xun.
"I know, I've already reminded him." Zhuang Xun replied affirmatively that Li Pingyuan's face was quite solemn at that time.
"That's not the end, he is a national master, he knows that others are dealing with him, and he doesn't know how to deal with it, what do you care about a foreign courtier." Siqin Mi chuckled, her voice was like a roar, making Zhuang Xun laugh with embarrassment.
There is a kind of saying that Zhuang Xun received a salary of 3,000 and was worried about national affairs, and he was worried about eating radishes.
"Tell me, I don't understand this situation at all." Zhuang Xun put on the groom's clothes, stretched out his hand and lifted the cuffs, adjusted quickly, Siqin Mi had no malicious intentions, and he could still hear the couple's whispers.
This national event is really closely related to him, and he can't pay attention to it if he wants to.
"How about understanding, it's actually good to be confused, and it won't give birth to so many feelings of powerlessness." Si Qinmi looked at Zhuang Xun, who was dressed up by herself, she was unwilling to let Zhuang Xun experience this feeling, she clearly saw the ending, but she couldn't change it.
"What kind of powerlessness is it, let the husband share it with you." Zhuang Xun heard that Si Qinmi was weak, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her to sit on the bed.
"To put it simply, the prime minister's current army is the palace guard, about 20,000 people, responsible for the garrison of the royal city.
Then Jidu is in charge, and there are about 30,000 people in charge of the defense of Jidu, and the new one is in charge of the Qinghe people, who may be the people of the Qinghe King, but the four generals under him have an unclear relationship with the Li family.
In the end, it is your father-in-law, there are hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops outside the city, it depends on how capable he is, if he is big, he will directly dispatch all the forbidden troops, and if he is small, he will send tens of thousands of troops, and others will stand by because of the reason of becoming a king, and the worst situation is that the forbidden army is infighting and cannot help, but Li Taishi has just returned from a big victory, and there is still prestige in the army, so it should not be like this. ”
After briefly combing through the strength of several parties, Si Qinmi continued: "It is also obvious that the strength of the Li Taishi has an overwhelming advantage, for the two people of King Qinghe and the Prime Minister, as long as the forbidden army enters the city, even if the internal guards are well-armed, they can win by numbers, and now they are short of a name, a name for raising troops." ”
"There must also be a royal faction in the forbidden army, even if Taishi Li has been in business for many years, he must be laid out early, but now, he has no layout, otherwise he will have the opposite when he hears the news, so now he needs a name, the name of the victim." Siqin Mi can understand Li Pingyuan's current predicament, and has some meaning of catching ducks on the shelves.
I didn't think about rebellion before, but now I want to make such a gesture, not to mention completely unprepared, but it is too hasty, and the interests of all parties have not yet been coordinated.
"If the Li family is fine, naturally everything is fine, the Li family is in trouble, and the time for the Li family to resist the internal guards and the time for the forbidden army to enter the city has become the biggest problem for Li Taishi at present." Siqin Mi gave a time difference.
"Whether the forbidden army can enter the city is a key, and the attitude of the four defending generals is also a question." Si Qinmi analyzed and said that Zhuang Xun had a clear composition in his mind.
"Then how to make the other party realize that he didn't discover these conspiracies, and he needs to pretend not to know, and feast the guests, that is, the flesh as bait." Siqin Mi said helplessly.
Because Zhuang Xun is also an attractive bait now, although it is only a condiment.
"It's so complicated, can't you startle the snake and let the other party know the difficulty and retreat." Zhuang Xun didn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble.
"What should I do if the snake is frightened and bites you on the spot, many things are not as simple as you think, in this kind of war that involves tens of thousands of people, the concubine has no good tricks at present, and can only expect Taishi Li to make another trick." Si Qinmi's meaning is also obvious, he doesn't want to get involved, it's impossible, everyone is down, and Zhuang Xun doesn't have the qualifications to leave the game as a chess player.
"Powerless? Knowing how to develop, these people are gambling, and we who are chess pieces can only hope that the Li family wins. Hugging Zhuang Xun, Siqin Mi tightened his shirt, and a sense of powerlessness filled his body.
She saw these operations clearly, and when she saw them, she didn't have a chance to make a move, so she could only make some preparations within her ability.
"Fortunately, it is in the sky that people can do things, since they can only see it, just see it, there is no sense of powerlessness, you said it clearly, I feel transparent." kissing Si Qinmi's noodles, Zhuang Xun thought secretly after listening to it, Siqin Mi also said that she thought too much, and she thought more than herself.
"You, you still have to take advantage of your concubine when you get married, but today you are Sister Li's." Siqin Mi let go of Zhuang Xun and said angrily, she made it, and the atmosphere returned to the trivial things.
"What do you take advantage of, when will I not be able to kiss my lady?" Zhuang Xun was surprised.
"Today is just unkissable, sleeping with Sister Li at night, and there is still a concubine's fat powder on his body, how can this be." Siqin Mi glanced at Zhuang Xun, the willow leaves were affectionate, and the phoenix eyes were brilliant.
"Okay, okay, calculate the time, the groom will get up and sacrifice to the gods, be pious, after all, they are all gods who exist." Siqin Mi is also not entangled with Zhuang Xun.
He dragged him to the atrium, where the sun had not yet risen, and the night sky was pitch black, but the candles had been lit and the altar had been set up for the gods.
Zhuang Xun didn't know much about it, only one Xuannu understood, burned incense and worshipped, and prayed sincerely.
It's basically a prayer to be able to marry a wife smoothly this time without accidents, and then it's to watch Wu Zhu dance.
Zhuang Xun was bored and wanted to yawn, but unfortunately there were dozens of hundreds of eyes staring at the mansion, and he could only sit upright and show a gentle smile, and endure the mental impact of watching the neurotic dance.
At about seven or eight o'clock in the morning, Wu Zhu finished dancing the great god, burned incense, set up the table, and read the marriage edict from the two kings.
Show the legitimacy of your marriage, your own marriage is not only your own personal matter, but also the task given by the imperial court, and at the same time tell everyone that marrying and obtaining the four counties of Henan is due to the credit of yourself and the Li family.
Although he felt uneasy about the heavenly skills of the immortals who pretended to be the immortals, since it had happened, he could only hope that the immortals would not care, and if he did, he could only ask the king of reincarnation to make peace.
Zhuang Xun thought too much, and the immortal not only did not blame, but hoped that he would increase his efforts, even though he used this credit.
In front of everyone, including the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the two countries, Zhuang Xun thanked the two monarchs for their gifts, which also marked that it was not a simple marriage between men and women, but a political marriage, with the blessings of the two kings.
Then the drums sounded in unison, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the performance began to blow from ten o'clock, setting off the atmosphere, worshipping the gods and Buddhas, thanking the king, and now thanking the family, there are no parents in this world, and it is even more inappropriate to get a tablet, and in the end only the wife and wife are left to thank.
"Thank you for your leniency, and let me offend." Zhuang Xun was embarrassed to say that this was to use the wedding ceremony to force the wife to recognize the status of the equal wife.
In this kind of formal occasion, if the wife makes trouble, her own reputation will be ruined, this kind of feudal society, the reputation is ruined, it will really force people to death, so some people who marry equal wives deliberately use weddings to force their wives, and some wives who can't bear to be angry will also have a seizure on this occasion, and the last chicken feathers, but no matter what, the final benefit must be the man.
However, Si Qinmi agreed with this marriage in every way, smiled richly, and told Zhuang Xun in his wife's tone: "The daughter of the Li family is graceful and noble, please treat Lang Jun like a concubine, and treat her child born to Lang Jun like a concubine." ”
"Thank you lady for not being jealous, knowing the general situation, my lady is a virtuous and beautiful woman." Zhuang Xun further praised.
"Lang Jun praises falsely, this is the foundation of being a wife." Siqin Mi replied humbly.
In this kind of praise and humility, the wife is praised only so good in the world, and the same humble wife also expressed her recognition of this marriage, and recognized that the other party as her sister enjoys the same status as herself, and her children enjoy the same status as her own children.
After respecting God and respecting the monarch and family, when it was time to count, under the farewell of the drum band, Siqin Mi earnestly advised, and got into the carriage.
Originally, he was going to ride a big horse and parade the streets to make money, but today there could have been danger, so Siqin Mi simply asked Zhuang Xun to avoid the carriage.
Zhuang Xun is also well-behaved, he obediently avoided the carriage after listening to Si Qinmi's words, he listened to persuasion, he didn't have so much pride and self-confidence, thinking of so many disobedient talents on TV, and finally cooled down, he didn't have the so-called system to bless him.
Zhuang Xun left, Si Qinmi's smile retracted, and he turned his head and ordered someone to recruit Wang Qingzheng, He Jung, and He Heng.
"Don't celebrate today, rectify military affairs, this wedding is not peaceful, let the soldiers sit on their backs and wear armor, and today's wedding may give birth to many incidents." Compared with the calmness in front of Zhuang Xun, he was smiling, worried about affecting his mood.
In front of these generals, Si Qinmi's worried and solemn demeanor, as well as her indifferent and commanding tone, were to let these people know the seriousness of the matter, and it was by no means a preventive measure.
Her tone and expression naturally affected a few people, and the beaming crowd stared, looked at each other, and had a faint premonition before, after all, Si Qinmi had ordered several times to train the soldiers, but today is a wedding, Zhuang Xun and Miss Li's wedding, what can there be to be guarded, and even the soldiers need to wear armor.
"Humble duty understands." Looking at Si Qinmi's hideous face, He Jung's political consciousness was the highest, so he spoke up first, and then the two followed, as for asking Zhuang Xun if he knew, it was not necessary.
Wang Qingzheng tried to ask a few times before, and Zhuang Xun's answer was: "Listen to Madame, she thinks more thoughtfully than me, and has her deep meaning." ”
After that, Wang Qingzheng didn't dare to ask more, He Jung, needless to say, knew Si Qinmi's identity, He Heng had already seen Zhuang Xun's husband and wife obey each other.
Out of the front yard of the mansion and to the barracks where they were stationed, He Jung's main responsibility was to take stock of the military supplies, and Wang Qingzheng and He Heng were the chief and deputy of this group of guards.
Wang Qingzheng didn't have any opinion on Zhuang Xun's behavior of inserting people in, this thing was too normal, and He Heng was not a straw bale waste, he was calm, and after several drills, he quickly gained prestige in the army.
"Captain He, He acted, Mrs. Wei's arrangement, what do you think?" Wang Qingzheng is straighter, and people are not stupid, although Si Qinmi arranged it, it depends on them what to do.
"Obey orders, Mrs. Wei and Yushi are of the same mind, they are both my lords, inform the soldiers, and prepare for battle." He Jung's words are very sincere, the marriage from the underworld can trust each other unreservedly and not worry about the woman's weight.
"Captain Wang is afraid that the soldiers will complain, after all, he is married and happy and festive, but he told them to be in this cold winter, wearing armor and sharp, and even thin wine cannot be drunk." He Heng's grasp of human sophistication is higher than that of He Jung.
I had been in the yamen before, and then I was at the bottom, so I could tell what these soldiers thought.
Sure enough, Wang Qingzheng revealed, you know what I mean.
The big winter makes people prepare for war, and I don't know if I can fight, but if you are a soldier, what do you think, it's okay to fight, if there is nothing in the end, you can imagine the grievances of the soldiers.
"What's so difficult about this, each person will be given two taels of silver as a reward for today." He Jungsan smiled, no matter how big it is, the problem that can be solved by sending money is never a problem.
"This is a thousand taels of silver, I have to ask Mrs. Wei to decide." Wang Qingzheng's purpose has also come out, just now He Jung's first promise, now it is appropriate to ask you to ask for money, and you also happen to be in charge of logistics.
"Why bother Madame, Jungshire can just make up for it out of his own pocket." He Jungsan didn't care.
Money is something outside the body, and the most important thing is to seek merit and protection, protect the road to eternal life, and step into the door of becoming immortals.
Faced with the expressions of He Heng and Wang Qingzheng who were trying to do something and spending money to go to work, he could only sigh in his heart and say: "The bird's ambition is clear." ”
Siqin Mi can't give this kind of order out of nowhere, this kind of good opportunity to earn merit, take advantage of it.
"Since He is willing to ......" Although Wang Qingzheng didn't understand, he found the wrongdoer.
"Report, the mansion has sent a reward for today's celebration of Zhuang Yushi's marriage and becoming a country, please act and send it to the school captain." Obviously, Siqin Mi did not give him the opportunity to earn merit in the name of Zhuang Xun.
