Chapter 13 The Imperial Palace

Pei County, Meiren Township.

Inside a low fence, there are four low and worn thatched huts.

At this moment, on October 15, the first year of Xingping, there was a woman in a thatched hut in the middle.

Next to her were two slightly older people, both of whom were wearing new clothes, but obviously they didn't feel very comfortable and often twisted.

"Qian'er, are you blaming your father?"

Gan Qian's father Gan Mao looked solemn and asked at his daughter.

"Dad, why did you say it again! It's up to Dad to be the one who Qian'er married, how could Qian'er be resentful?" Gan Qian's eyes were filled with tears, and there were two tears on her face.

"Then Liu envoy is a great nobleman, a person we can't meet when we go out. We poor families can't afford it. I heard that the envoy is in his thirties, and if you marry him, you can only be a concubine. Although the boy from the Zhou family is also a nobleman, we can see that when we go out, I heard that the Zhou brother went to propose marriage to him two years ago, but he ran away and refused to get married."

"I also heard that Zhou Wen'an likes beautiful women this time. Fortunately, you are beautiful and fell in love with him. This time he won't run away. Alas, I'm lucky to have such a son-in-law in my family..."

"Bah, do you know how to talk?" Gan Qian's mother spat at her father, "Let's not talk about the major events in the world. Just talking about this plow, you have plowed for twenty years, why don't you know that it will be useful if you bend the plow? Although Wen'an is a little slutty, he is talented and handsome. I heard that Liu Jun went to visit him in person two months ago, saying that he wanted to invite him to the ruling center. If such a person is married, our daughter will not suffer any loss."

Gan Mao quickly explained: "I didn't mean that, I mean he is good! Qian'er, our Gan family has to ask you for your blessings. Now we can not only eat enough, but also demolish these broken thatched houses and build a tiled house. Your two brothers can also marry you!"

"Dad..." Gan Qian was already crying.

"Qian'er, you have been obedient since childhood and are polite, but my mother still wants to remind you of some words. Although the Zhou family's parents are no longer there, the Zhou family has brothers and sisters-in-law. Remember, treat Zhou's brothers and sisters-in-law like parents. We must rush to do dirty and tiring work, and we must obey everything when we are in trouble. If you feel bitter in your heart... just bear it!" Gan's mother covered her face and cried.

"Dad, Mother..."

Gan Qian hugged and cried, while Gan Mao stood aside and wiped his tears silently.

Zhou Ping gave their family a betrothal gift of 200,000 yuan, a hundred stone valley, ten pieces of cloth, and some other things.

For a poor family like them, these things will never be seen in their lifetime. Now they suddenly exist, and their lives will be completely changed. They will no longer be poor families.

When the Zhou family asked the matchmaker to propose marriage, Gan Mao initially did not believe it. He did not believe that a family like the Zhou family with thousands of acres of land would fall in love with a poor girl like them.

Later, I slowly heard from the matchmaker that the second boy of the Zhou family, regardless of whether the league is similar or not, just wanted to marry a beautiful woman. He introduced two rich girls two years ago, but he both left home and ran away from marriage, which made the matchmaker scolded several times.

If it weren't for the Gan family's daughter's appearance and poor family, she wouldn't have been a matchmaker.

Gan Mao had also heard of Zhou Ping's name before, especially Wen'anli, who he knew who it was.

They also heard about Zhou Ping’s expectation of Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others, but they were just chatting occasionally in the fields and didn’t care at all. Instead, they changed the plow, but they admired it very much. This curved plow is indeed easy to use.

The Gan family's parents were worried that their daughter would be hard to marry. After all, there was too much difference in the league, but they heard from the matchmaker how Zhou Ping treated the servants and the farmer who rented the land, and never beat and scolded him, so they agreed to marry his daughter to Zhou Ping as his wife.

But the next day, the county official said that the governor of Yuzhou Liu Bei fell in love with their daughter and wanted to take her as a concubine.

Gan Mao hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind that, just like Zhou Ping's original choice, he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, and still chose Zhou Ping, and would not regret his marriage.

I was worried that the county magistrate would come and force him to marry his daughter to Liu Envoy, but he did not see the county magistrate again after that. A few days later, he heard that the county magistrate Feng had abandoned his official position and ran away, so he felt relieved.

Zhoujiazhuang is more than twenty miles away from Meiren Township, and Zhou Ping personally brought Zhang Wu and his servants to welcome the bride.

He rode on the horse, and even if he was getting married, there was still a wine gourd hanging around his waist.

Zhang Wu followed behind him, carrying a longbow behind him and a sack arrow hanging around his waist. Except for sleeping, he usually carried these things on his body.

Behind it is a carriage, Gan Qian is sitting in the carriage with a red turban on her head.

Zhou Ping only saw Gan Qian's slim figure, but she didn't see her appearance.

But just this slim figure made Zhou Ping very satisfied.

Along the way, he was so proud that the word "囍" seemed to be written on his face. For a few moments, he could hardly help himself and wanted to recite poems, even thought about the poem: Life is so proud that you must be happy, and don't let the beauty face the moon...

Many people heard that Zhou Wen'an would come to watch the wedding.

No matter what, Zhou Wen'an is already a celebrity in Fengpei County. Whether he is a scholar or a farmer, he knows his reputation and admires him very much.

Zhou Ping rode on the horse, keeping a smile, as if he was the general who was victorious and triumphant at this moment, enjoying the greeting of everyone.

After returning to Zhoujiazhuang, after the ceremony, he respected his brother, sister-in-law and neighbors to congratulate him. Gan Qian returned to the room and sat on the bed waiting for her husband.

Gan Qian was feeling excited and uneasy at this moment.

She was excited because she married someone she admired. She had heard of Zhou Ping's reputation for a long time, but she had never dared to marry such a wealthy family before.

The uneasiness is because the Zhou family is a wealthy family after all, and they are poor. They don’t know how this family will treat them and how they should get along with them.

Under the candlelight, Gan Qian had been waiting for a long time, but finally heard the sound of the door opening, and it seemed that one person had entered the room.

But the man stood at the door and stopped moving, as if staring at him.

Gan Qian was suddenly nervous, holding her clothes tightly with her hands, and her breathing became rapid.

Because Zhou Ping had said before, everything was simple, so few guests came to congratulate him and they soon dispersed.

Zhou Ping firmly rejected this ceremony of having sex with her, saying that if she was making trouble, I would be anxious.

Although everyone was unwilling to accept it, they did not dare to force it and could only disperse.

Zhou Ping, who often drinks but does not get drunk, is already slightly drunk today.

He stood at the door and looked for a while, turned around and closed the door, untied the wine gourd around his waist and placed it on the table, and slowly walked towards the bride sitting beside the bed with a red turban.

"A Qian." Zhou Ping called out softly.

When Gan Qian heard the call of herself, her body shook slightly, but she did not respond.

Zhou Ping finally walked to Gan Qian. At this time, he could clearly hear Gan Qian's rapid breathing. He saw her holding her clothes tighter with both hands.

Zhou Ping stretched out his hands and slowly lifted up the red turban covering Gan Qian's head.

The moment he saw Gan Qian's appearance, he was shocked!

Gan Qian lowered her head and blushed, not daring to look at Zhou Ping.

"Don't be nervous, look up at me." Zhou Ping said softly.

Gan Qian remembered what her mother told her to obey her husband and asked her to obey everything. After hesitating, she raised her head.

She was also shocked!

Gan Qian had never met Zhou Ping before. At this time, she was dozens of times better than she had imagined before.

Zhou Ping's face was also slightly red, smiling, looking at her affectionately.

Gan Qian couldn't help but lower her head again, her face turned redder.

Zhou Ping was thrilled, as if he had thousands of words to say, but he didn't know what to say. At this moment, his mouth was not for speaking, so he put his mouth on it.

The two of them slowly lay down, put down the curtain, and untied their clothes.

Soon, a low whisper came from the bed...
