The Surgeon's Guide to Survival in the Royal Palace, Section 209
Ning Ji glanced at him and didn't say anything, he raised his hand and grabbed the reins before going up, and then Yan Yunzhou also turned over and got on the horse and sat behind him, Ning Ji was really tired, and the person leaned back and leaned directly on Yan Yunzhou's body, and the reins were no longer held, he closed his eyes, and he was about to squint for a while.
Feeling the heavy weight on his chest, the smile between Yan Yunzhou's eyebrows deepened, holding the reins with one hand, and hugging the person in front of him with the other, and he didn't run too fast on his horse, so he greeted the sunset like this, and staggered home.
Ning Qi wanted to lean on at the beginning, but today he was really exhausted, chasing the wind and strolling leisurely, swaying and shaking, just like sitting on a rocking car, he really fell asleep after a while, if it wasn't for Yan Yunzhou holding him, I'm afraid people would have fallen off the horse.
In the afternoon, in the evening, in the evening.
Yan Yunzhou of Ning Qi in the barracks sat opposite each other, and there were four small dishes on the table, but the four eyes of the two of them were staring at Ning Qi's hand, because that hand was shaking so badly, the three bean sprouts that were clamped shook off two of them, Ning Qi still refused to admit defeat and held the wrist of his right hand with his left hand, but the result was that both hands shook together...
Yan Yunzhou turned his head sideways, struggling to hold back a laugh, but Ning Ji put down his chopsticks with a "snap":
"Laugh if you want."
Yan Yunzhou got up and sat down beside him, picked up the bowl in front of Ning Qi, picked up some of his favorite dishes, and then took the bowl and handed it to him with chopsticks:
"Come, you can't starve our Hou Ye."
Ning Yi ate the dishes on the chopsticks in one bite, Yan Yunzhou looked down at his arm:
"Today this is the strength of the ruthless, I will give you the medicinal oil to rub in a while, you can't use brute force like this these days, it's not good to really hurt the meridians."
Zou Xiaohu's voice came from outside the barracks:
"Are the princes and the marquis back?"
"I'm back, I'm having dinner in the house."
Hearing his voice, Ning Qi hurriedly ate the food on Yan Yunzhou's chopsticks, and then pushed his hand away, and the sound of Zou Xiaohu knocking on the door sounded.
Yan Yunzhou looked at Ning Ji with some teasingness, and Ning Ji glanced at him warningly before he spoke:
"Come in."
Zou Xiaohu held a red raft in his hand, and the color of the raft in his hand was almost the same color as his current face, Ning Zhi guessed what was going on when he looked at him, Shi Shiran leaned back on the chair:
"Blushing like a monkey's ass, what's the matter?"
Yan Yunzhou glanced at the red raft in his hand, and he already knew it in his heart, Zou Xiaohu handed over the red raft with both hands:
"Master Hou, this is the gift list I prepared, you see, if there is anything wrong, if it is still less, I will make it up."
Ning Qi unfolded the red raft, which was the list of gifts to be collected seven days later, for Zou Xiaohu's marriage, he was stunned to understand the ancient marriage customs.
A month ago, he took the wild goose with Zou Xiaohu to the Youzhou Prefecture Mansion to propose, these days, Nacai, ask the name, have gone again, simply put, the man came to the door to propose, after the woman agreed, the man came to ask the woman Geng post, divination, in order to measure whether the two birthdays are harmonious.
Zou Xiaohu is looking for Mr. Word Measurement is a well-known local person, yesterday the results were reported, today this kid can't sit still, and he roared over to give a dowry.
Ning Ji is a little funny, but he also understands a little, coming to this point is not considered that the two have a marriage contract, when this Naji is finished, and the bride price is sent to the woman's home, this is the marriage contract, no wonder this kid can't sit still.
But it's really embarrassing for him to let him see the gift list, not to mention how much he doesn't know, even if he doesn't know what it is, he doesn't know what it is, so he immediately stuffed this gift list into Yan Yunzhou's hand:
"Take a look."
Yan Yunzhou knew that he didn't know, lowered his head and began to look at the things on the gift list, and spoke:
"Someone, please come over to Steward Yan."
"Yes, lord."
This gift list fell into Yan Yunzhou's hands, and Zou Xiaohu couldn't stop being nervous, and he was a little uneasy when he stood up.
In fact, Ning Jiao also looked up to Yan Yunzhou, Yan Yunzhou had been in the military camp every day before, and he had no experience in this marriage, so naturally he didn't know whether this gift list was more or less according to Zou Xiaohu's current grade, but Prince Yan had infiltrated the court for many years, even if he didn't know it in his heart, his face was not leaking, and even Ning Ji thought that he was looking at the gift list seriously.
Steward Yan came quickly, and Yan Yunzhou handed over the gift list in his hand:
"Uncle Yan, this is General Zou's gift list, I don't think there is anything wrong with it, you add some on this basis, and add it to the gift list, which is the intention of this king and the marquis."
Zou Xiaohu hurriedly thanked him, and Yan Yunzhou raised his hand to help him:
"You can also be regarded as going out from the side of the Hou Ye, although you are from a poor family, but you are down-to-earth and willing to work, after you become a family, you should be diligent and thrifty, and you can govern your family with one heart."
"The last general will follow the teachings of the prince."
After sending Zou Xiaohu away, Ning Ji looked at Yan Yunzhou with a smile:
"Our prince still has a set of teachings, how many days will you be busy? Do you want to go to Youzhou with me on the day of the recruitment? ”
Yan Yunzhou was very busy when he proposed marriage, and he didn't spare time to go, but this person has not been so busy these days.
"Go with you, sometimes I don't go to Youzhou, this term of Zhizhou Xu Minghui was transferred after His Majesty ascended the throne, he used to serve in Luzhou, or met many years ago."
Ning blame is not too aware of the personnel transfer of the DPRK and China:
"Was this person Ren Zhizhou before Luzhou?"
Yan Yunzhou nodded, and he spoke again:
"From Luzhou to Youzhou, this belongs to Pingtuo, right?"
Yan Yunzhou shook his head slightly:
"In terms of grade, it is indeed flat, but Luzhou and Youzhou can not be compared, since the fall of Suizhou City, the people moved inward, although there are three cities to share, but half of the people are placed in Youzhou, Youzhou is His Majesty's former fiefdom, the soldiers are strong and the people are rich, although it is still a state now, in terms of population, it is richer than the three Luzhou.
I have also heard of this Xu Minghui, he is a cadre, and his future is more than that, Zou Xiaohu is young, although the door is lower, but he is from your side, and he is also compatible with the daughter of the Xu family. ”
Four days later, Yan Yunzhou and Ning Qi set off for Youzhou, this time both of them were on horses, Ning Qi looked at the already green mountains on both sides of the strait and couldn't help but sigh a little:
"The first time you walked this road, your life was still hanging by a thread, I didn't expect to come back."
Yan Yunzhou thought of the past, the first time they went from Suizhou to Youzhou, it was after the Great War, Suizhou sank, and he still remembered the embarrassment that came out of the secret passage, he smiled and said:
"I remember that you were angry with me at that time, blaming me for not telling you anything, looking at your angry appearance, I had a little hope that I dared to say those words to you later."
Ning was stunned for a moment, angry? Yes, he was very angry at that time:
"You listened to what you said at the time, what I thought I was dead, you wouldn't care too much."
Yan Yunzhou suddenly approached with the reins:
"You said at the time that I wasn't someone who didn't matter to you, so you liked me from that time, right?"
Ning Zhi was speechless, this person's face was really thickened, he hit the horse and ran out, leaving only the voice to blow to Yan Yunzhou's ears with the wind:
"Don't put gold on your face."
Yan Yunzhou came in person, and Xu Minghui unloaded Youzhou officials, who were already waiting outside Youzhou City:
"Xiaguan knocks on Prince Yan."
Yan Yunzhou is ranked as a first-rank prince, and when he sees the king, he is exempted from kneeling, and according to etiquette, except for the first-rank officials, including the royal family, he must bow when he sees him:
"Lord Xu, please excuse me, originally I didn't come here with Hou Ye this time for official business, so we won't be formal."
Xu Minghui has a thin figure, a beautiful beard lined with a very literary demeanor, and even when Ning Qi saw him for the first time, he felt that this person was a little more noble than many adults in the court.
The flowing water gift was carried into the Zhizhou Mansion, and the gift list was handed over to Xu Minghui by Yan Yunzhou himself:
"Lord Xu, forgive me, this king and the Hou Ye are both helping people to handle the marriage for the first time, and they have no experience at all, and the poor little tiger has no relatives in the family, if there is any rudeness, please Haihan."
Xu Minghui hurriedly took a half step back and avoided Yan Yunzhou's salute, this gift was obviously not given to him by Prince Yan, but given to him as Zou Xiaohu's parent, even Xu Minghui was a little shocked at this moment, he knew that Zou Xiaohu had been an errand boy by Ning Yao's side in the past.
But it is said that it was also during the war, only for a short period of time, and the last time he proposed marriage, he was already very shocked when Ning Qi personally brought someone here, but he didn't want Yan Yunzhou to come over in person this time.
He didn't know how these two people who were very important in the court could attach so much importance to the marriage of a small border general, but no matter how puzzled he was, he couldn't express it, and after this day, Zou Xiaohu seemed to be following his parents, following behind Yan Yunzhou and Ning Qi, and his eyes were red unconsciously.
But Ning Yao, who asked to go back to the room at night, saw it:
"Oh, what's this for? The girl who is going to marry is not red yet, are you going to cry for the two of us in advance? ”
Zou Xiaohu was a little embarrassed, and it was difficult to be patiently moved:
"Lord Wang, Ning Gongzi, I, I'm just some..."
Since the death of his parents and brother, he has no relatives except for the widowed sister-in-law and little nephew above, and he doesn't know who to go to this time.
Ning Ji looked at him and felt a little distressed, Zuo was just a twenty-year-old child:
"Okay, don't mention it, I and the prince know your intentions, this is in your future father-in-law's mansion, don't cry out and be embarrassed, go."
Yan Yunzhou looked at the person who turned around and secretly wiped his eyes, and also spoke:
"Look at the tall and big people, but they still look like children."
Ning Ji walked side by side with him to the guest house:
"It's only twenty, and if you put it here, it's just a weak crown, and if you put it with us, it's just the age of going to college, and it's just a child."
When he arrived in the house, Ning Qi breathed a sigh of relief and turned his somewhat stiff neck:
"It's really tiring, it's really troublesome for you to get married here, I also asked, here in the north, generally in the second half of this year, in order to keep the daughter at home for another year, this marriage will have to wait until next year, tossing for so long, Zou Xiaohu's kid has to wait until next year to take his daughter-in-law home."
This engagement is not the end, and there will be an invitation period later, which is to officially set the date of welcoming the family, he originally thought that the ancient marriage was just a three-worship high hall, but he didn't want to have so many steps in front of him.
Yan Yunzhou stood behind him, pinched his neck and arms for him, and remembered what Ning Ji had told him before:
"Are you getting married if you get a license?"
"That's right, our certificate is called a marriage certificate, and two people who have a marriage certificate are legally recognized husband and wife."
Now that he thinks about it, it is still easy to get married in modern times, and he suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Oh, by the way, isn't Cheng'er going to start looking at each other? What do you think? Do you have a favorite person? ”
Yan Yunzhou sat beside him:
"The sister-in-law has mentioned a few, not only Cheng'er, but even Ji'er's marriage has already been inquired about."
Ning blamed a sip of tea and almost spit it out:
"Hu'er? It's only twelve years old this year, so you don't have to be so early, right? ”
Yan Yunzhou glanced at him meaningfully and said:
"Most of these people look at the identity of Ji'er, not the person of Qi'er."
The author has something to say:
In ancient times, there is a scar on Qi'er's body, and I am afraid that I will meet a scumbag
Chapter 151: Pick Up Your Conscience from the Earth
