Chapter 343 Marriage(1/2)
Leng Yi looked down at her, but saw that the bulging peaks in her chest, which had begun to buoy and jumped happily with her jumping. She couldn't help but feel a little dry and turned her head quickly and helped her
"Okay, okay, I'm shaking my head so dizzy!"
"I'm happy!" As he said that, Hua Wuxiang suddenly tiptoed on his cheek and kissed him, "Then I'll go back to read the book!" He took the book, turned around and jumped out, and suddenly stopped again, and saw that
Zhuo Qiaoniang stood at the door, looking at them as if she was smiling.
"Sister Qiao!" Hua Wuxiang turned around and stuck out her tongue at Leng Yi, bowed and smiled at Zhuo Qiaoniang, flashed past her and floated away like a butterfly.
Hua Wuxiang's actions just now must have been seen by Zhuo Qiaoniang. Leng Yi was a little embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "Qiaoniang..."
Zhuo Qiaoniang turned around and looked at Hua Wuxiang's back and smiled and said, "This little girl is not young anymore, why is she still very popular?"
"She is less than sixteen years old, she is at her lively age. Is there anything wrong?"
Zhuo Qiaoniang walked up to him, sorted out her clothes that were messed up by Hua Wuxiang, and said, "Tomorrow is the day when you and Luo Jie get married. You are ready, and the invitation is also posted, but,
The officials will go to war tomorrow, and many imperial officials will go to see him off, and it will probably take a little later. Let me tell you."
"I know this, I'm going to send it."
"Ah? What should I do if the guest comes?"
"Isn't you there?" Leng Yi hugged her intimately.
Zhuo Qiaoniang struggled gently and said with a blushing face: "Others see it!"
"What are you afraid of! You are my wife. I hugged my wife, can anyone gossip?"
This sentence "wife" immediately made Zhuo Qiaoniang stop struggling and snuggle obediently in his arms. She raised her pretty red face and said, "Official..."
Leng Yi hugged her and kissed her deeply until she was out of breath before she letting go.
Although the two have been married for several years, there are still very few such deep kisses. Zhuo Qiaoniang blushed and she could feel her husband's true love for her from such a affectionate kiss, and her heart was like a honey.
Generally, my worries about whether my husband would be indifferent to his concubine after taking a concubine disappeared during this kiss.
At this moment, I heard the cheerful voice of Cao Sui sounding in the porch outside the door: "Sister, brother-in-law! The old man, the master, the wife, and the fourth master are here! Go and pick it up!"
As early as the Chinese New Year, Zhuo Qiaoniang discussed with Leng Yi that she had to invite Leng Yi's grandfather, parents and relatives to come to the capital. After all, Leng Yi has already become a high-ranking official in the capital. If she did not pick up her grandfather and parents and relatives.
Come on, the censors report to impeach unfilial piety, and the government cannot defend themselves.
Leng Yi was very afraid to see the Leng family. Although he had learned a lot about the Leng family from Zhuo Qiaoniang and figured out all the relationships, he didn't know what was going on, and he was still a little scared. However, Zhuo Qiaoniang was right.
.You can't do this.
So Leng Yi wrote a letter asking the old man in Bazhou to hand over the business to Zhuo Qiaoniang's brother and sister-in-law to cook, and to live in the capital by himself. He also wrote another letter to his parents in his hometown, so that they could also enter.
Come to the capital.
Unexpectedly, Leng Yi's parents were thinking about the old man in Bazhou. After receiving the letter, they hurried to Bazhou first. After helping the old man handle the business, they rushed from Bazhou to the capital. It happened to be a coincidence.
The day before Leng Yi got married, he arrived in the capital together.
Zhuo Qiaoniang saw Leng Yi's expression strange, and knew what he was thinking. She snuggled up to him and whispered: "Don't worry, I will take care of you. You can tell who is who you are when you see me. I will always
Be with you."
Leng Yi nodded gratefully.
The two of them came out and quickly walked to the front door. They saw a group of people coming in with their maids and servants. The white-bearded old man in the lead was Leng Yi's grandfather Leng Bei.
When Lengbei saw Leng Yi, he came up happily and said, "Grandpa heard from the doorman that Sun will take a concubine tomorrow, and will be the imperial concubine whom the emperor gave marriage, right?"
"Yes, Grandpa!"
As they spoke, Zhuo Qiaoniang had already stepped forward and said blessedly to the two gray-haired couples who were following him: "Daughter-in-law, father-in-law, mother-in-law!"
Leng Yi immediately knew that these two were the parents of the county magistrate Leng Shan and Sun. After a closer look at the two, they really looked a bit similar to them. He hurried over and bowed to the ground:
The child has met his parents! He worked hard all the way!"
Leng Shan said happily: "Yi'er, you have a great future! As a high-ranking official, you have a very good face for your father."
Sun held Leng Yi's hand, looked up and down, turned his head to the old man with a loving look on his face and said, "His father, Yi'er has grown strong, look at this body!"
Leng Shan said: "He is now a high-ranking official in the court. The people around the emperor eat delicacies. Do you think they followed us to the countryside to eat braised vegetables?"
Leng Yi hurriedly said, "The child is unfilial, and now he is here to come to the other elders."
"Look at what you said, I'm just talking and joking with your mother. I heard that the emperor gave us old couple the official positions for your sake?"
"Yes, Dad. It's the fifth grade!"
Leng Shan and Sun looked at each other, smiling from ear to ear.
Zhuo Qiaoniang held a young man's hand affectionately again and said happily: "Brother, you are here too! Aren't you farming in your hometown?"
Leng Yi immediately knew that this was Zhuo Qiaoniang's honest and kind-hearted brother Zhuo Siniu, who farmed at home.
Zhuo Siniu Hanhan said: "It was my elder brother and sister-in-law who wrote me to go to Bazhou to help, saying that the business was too good and I couldn't do business. I didn't want to go, so they just wrote a few letters a day.
I was urging me, and I went there. This time my grandfather said, let me come to the capital with me for a long experience. I also want to see you, Third Sister, so I followed you.”
"Very good, I'm very happy that you can come!"
Leng Yi hurried over and called out, "Si Niu!"
"Brother-in-law!" Zhuo Siniu smiled and said with a silly smile.
Zhuo Qiaoniang said, "Go in and talk, don't stand stupidly."
A group of people came to the lobby and talked about some things that happened after the parting, some were talking and laughing. Leng Yi kept listening and rarely interrupted.
After saying that, Zhuo Qiaoniang personally arranged a residence for them. She also transferred the maid, old mother, and male servant to serve them. The old man was very happy.
That night, Zhuo Qiaoniang and Leng Yi were talking to the old master and his parents. Leng Yi's mother Sun stood up and said to Zhuo Qiaoniang: "I want to go conveniently, please accompany me."
"Okay, mom."
Zhuo Qiaoniang followed Sun and chatted while walking. Sun said, "Yi'er wants to marry this new wife. How about it? Have you ever met?"
"I've seen it, I used to be the personal female guard of the official."
"Ah? Female..., female guard?" Sun was obviously a little shocked at this future daughter-in-law who was dancing with guns and sticks.
Zhuo Qiaoniang hurriedly said, "She is actually very pretty and beautiful. She is well-educated, has a good female worker, and is also very good to officials."
"Oh!" Sun nodded slowly and said, "What did she do before she became Yi'er's escort?"
"In the palace, he serves as a guard for the former queen of the late emperor."
"In the palace?" Sun frowned and whispered: "I heard that the women in the palace are all emperors, and she doesn't know what to do..."
"Mom! Look at what you said, there are so many women in the palace, thousands of them, can they all belong to the emperor? Besides, they are the queen. How could the emperor..."
"It is precisely because of the queen that you are the most likely to meet the emperor! And you said that she is very beautiful. The emperor is a man, so how can he not be moved?"
Sun smiled bitterly and said, "Mom! You are too worried!"
"It's not that my mother is too careless. You have to have a clear mind in this kind of thing! We Yi'er is innocent and can't pick up other people's..."
"Mom!" Zhuo Qiaoniang stamped her feet and said, "Miss Cheng is not that kind of person!"
"Does your words not count? Mom's words not count!" Sun murmured and took out a snow-white handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Zhuo Qiaoniang: "Here, you give this to her tomorrow, let her do it
When you are in the room, you will know it after you have a test!"
Zhuo Qiaoniang smiled bitterly. When she passed by, it was the handkerchief given to her by this mother-in-law, who asked her to put it under her. Although she was innocent, she was still a little scared. If something went wrong, she would not fall.
Hong, that's not the whole life that I can't raise my head. Fortunately, that kind of thing happened. The next day, my mother-in-law secretly asked her for a veil. When she saw Luo Hong on it, she smiled. She didn't expect that she would do this again now.
She also knew that mother-in-law checking her daughter-in-law's privet was a rule that had always been done. Maybe when she was a mother-in-law in the future, she would have to do so. She had to sigh and take the snow-white handkerchief.
The next day, the Leng Mansion was decorated with lights and joy. From early morning, the newlyweds guard played the suona, beat the gongs and drums and became lively, and firecrackers were heard from time to time. In the early morning, countless guests came to congratulate him.
A big celebrity in front of the family is now in charge of the impending verdict of the Criminal Court. He has the privilege of picking up officials and killing them. Which official dares not come to express his attitude? Therefore, for a while, the cold mansion was bustling with people.
There were several people responsible for registering at the door, and in this way, the queue for registering gift lists still lined up.
Leng Yi was wearing an official uniform, and Zhuo Qiaoniang was wearing the costume of a fourth-rank lady. The two of them laughed in front of the hall to welcome the officials who came to congratulate him.
Zhao Tingmei, Zhao Defang, Shi Shouxin, Xue Juzheng, Shen Lun, Chu Zhaofu, Cao Bin, Lu Duoxun and other princes and ministers also came to send gifts to congratulate them. Because they wanted to see off to the official family, they did not stop for a long time and said goodbye.
Seeing that they were all here to give gifts, there were other officials who didn't come to give gifts. Officials came in a constant stream, and Leng Yi smiled and thanked them.
Those officials who had a ghost in their hearts watched Leng Yi accept the generous gifts they gave one by one, without any refusal. They couldn't help but smile at each other. A stone hanging in their hearts was put down. As long as they received the money, everything would be fine.
As the saying goes, he is a slut in his mouth and has short hands. He himself takes bribes through marriage. In the future, he will naturally have room for negotiation.
Many officials who were waiting and watching felt confident when they saw that the gifts in front of them were successfully accepted, and they went back to get a lot of money to give gifts and ask for a talisman. For a moment, the long dragon who gave gifts was favored and even lined up outside the gate.
Because according to the rules, gift gifts must be given before getting married at noon and after that, which is very rude. So there are long queues waiting to give gifts.
As the sun was getting higher, finally, I heard the sound of silk and bamboo and drums on the street. As soon as I heard the sound, I knew that it was palace music, and it must have been the official Zhao Guangyi who sent someone to give gifts.
Sure enough, an eunuch hurriedly came and knelt down to report: "Master Leng, the official family sent a congratulatory message, please bring your wife to the door to greet him."
At this time, the bride was still at her parents' home and had not yet been welcomed, so Leng Yi only brought his wife Zhuo Qiaoniang to the gate and ordered all the gates to open, and he and his wife bowed to each other.
After a moment, the drum band and the guards opened the way, and behind them was a sedan chair. Following the vast team, one by one, carrying loads of large boxes of brides and gifts, and came to the gate of the Leng Mansion.
The sedan chair fell, and the eunuchs on both sides lifted the curtains. Wang Jien, the eunuch in the official family, bowed out and saw Leng Yi coming down from the steps. He smiled and bowed, "Congratulations! Congratulations to Lord Leng!"
