After a house full of cannon fodder read my voice, the whole family went crazy.

Although the marriage between the Qiao and Lin families was very low-key, in order to show their importance to the newlyweds, Qiao Zhongtian and his wife discussed the wedding in a grand manner.

Unfortunately, Yi's decree suddenly came from the palace.

In recent years, natural and man-made disasters have continued, and the national treasury has gradually become empty due to wars and disaster relief.

The Queen Mother sympathized with the people's hard work of taxes and labor, so she practiced frugality from the beginning of the royal family, and was simple in all weddings, funerals, festivals, etc.

Together with the monthly expenses of the concubines, princes, princesses and others in the palace, they will be halved to show the royal family's role as an example.

With this announcement, Qiao Jingchen wanted to climb over the wall of Lin Yushi's house in the middle of the night.

He hurriedly explained to Lin Yue'er that it wasn't that he didn't want to give her the grand pomp and ceremony of Shili Hongzhuang, but that he couldn't disobey the Queen Mother's decree.

But before he could take action, he was held down by Mrs. Chen.

"Jingchen, you don't need to explain this kind of thing. Lin Yushi and Yue'er both know very well that this is not because the Qiao family treats them lightly. But if you climb over the wall in the middle of the night, it will be really disrespectful to Yue'er."

She understood very well how young lovers felt when they didn't see each other for a day, but Lin Yushi's family tradition was strict and clean, so he would definitely not like such deviant behavior.

"But, mother..."

Qiao Jingchen still felt that she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, but her hand was patted.

As soon as he lowered his head, Qiao Wanshu patted the back of his hand in a mocking manner.

"When the elder sister-in-law comes in, treat her well. Like the second brother to the second sister-in-law, no, better!"

Qiao Zhongtian also nodded: "Shu'er is right. When Yue'er comes through, you should treat her well and cherish her. Even if you have a little regret, it will be enough to make up for it."

Qiao Jingchen knew that this could only be the case.

But he still wrote two letters in his own hand the next day, one to Lin Yushi and one to Lin Yue'er, apologizing in every possible way.

In order to prevent long nights and endless dreams and further changes, the two families unanimously decided to advance the original wedding date.

The re-determined auspicious day will be in half a month.

Although time is a little rushed, weddings and funerals are now required to be simple, which saves many process steps.

Lin Yue'er's dowry was left behind by her late mother. Lin Yushi had been honest and upright throughout his life, but in the end, the amount of dowry he could give to his daughter was somewhat pitiful.

Her wedding dress was prepared since she decided to marry Qiao Jingchen, and she embroidered it stitch by stitch.

So even though time was tight, everything was ready by the day before the wedding.

Early the next morning, Lin Yue'er said goodbye to her father and grandfather wearing a wedding dress embroidered by herself.

There was still a sedan chair carried by eight people at the door, but the number of accompanying wedding bands, maids scattering flowers, and attendants carrying dowry were reduced by more than half.

There was no ceremony around the city that was supposed to be held, and even after welcoming the bride into the house, there were only a few banquets.

Compared to when Qiao Jingyue married Wu Qingyun, it was countless times shabby.

Qiao Wanshu was very emotional when she attended the wedding banquet this time.

[Hey, why did the palace want to issue that edict at this time? 】

[Although lovers eventually get married, having my second brother’s grand wedding in front of me makes people feel regretful no matter how I look at it. 】

Qiao Jingchen, who was worshiping in the hall, stiffened and couldn't help but tighten her hand holding the bright red satin.

The wedding ceremony was finally a little lively, but it didn't take long for the guests to leave one after another.

Qiao Wanshu stopped the three brothers in a "sensible" manner and said seriously: "Brother, if you don't make trouble, he is in a bad mood. He still needs to apologize."

The remaining three brothers were also speechless.

Who could let the eldest brother take this matter so far and catch up with the Queen Mother's decree?

They also stopped thinking about continuing the wedding ceremony and left their time completely to the newlyweds.

In the new house, Qiao Jingchen and Lin Yuer sat opposite each other.

They had just drank Hexin wine, and the aroma of the wine was still lingering between their lips and teeth.

"Yue'er, I'm sorry, I couldn't give you a grand wedding with infinite scenery and red makeup as promised. I can only keep everything simple and let you marry in such a shabby way."

He held Lin Yue'er's hand tightly, with unspeakable regret and annoyance in his voice.

Lin Yue'er smiled slightly, her eyes full of happiness and attachment.

"Husband, I don't care about a grand wedding, even if it's just a pair of red candles, just you and me, as long as I can get married, I have nothing else to ask for.

Don't talk about guilt anymore. I know you don't mean to wrong me, and that's enough. Besides the guilt, I was really angry. "

Qiao Jingchen couldn't help but hugged her tightly, and the two figures gradually merged into one, and could no longer be separated.

……

Since Qiao Jingchen's wedding, the Qiao family has grown in number, and life seems to be getting more prosperous and lively.

The two married men hurried home as soon as they had some free time.

Of the three meals a day, there are two that can bring everyone together and have a lively meal together.

Wu Qingyun's body became heavier and heavier, but he insisted on coming out to share the meal with everyone. While talking and laughing, even some of his physical discomforts were temporarily forgotten.

During dinner that day, as she listened to Qiao Jinyue casually talking about what she had seen while handling the case, she suddenly remembered something.

"A few days ago, when I went out to relax, I heard something. It is said that more than a month ago, flowers suddenly rained down from the sky in the Imperial City, and a strange fragrance appeared out of thin air. Most of the Imperial City could smell it.

It is said that a baby was born in a certain mansion, which caused a vision from the sky. Someone is secretly spreading the news that the Holy Son has arrived. I just didn't dare to tell the story openly for fear of causing trouble.

Husband, have you ever heard of this rumor while you were in Dali Temple? "

Qiao Jingyue nodded and said, "I have heard about it. But I still don't know which family's baby was born, causing such a strange phenomenon. I'm afraid that family is also in panic now, for fear of getting into trouble.

It's not enough to hide it, so I don't dare to show it to the public. "

When Qiao Wanshu heard this, her heart sank with a thud.

[No way, could it be that Fang Yaner gave birth to that child? 】

Her dream reminded her that in the original plot, Fang Yan'er was a baby with a vision. The baby was extremely smart, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the child of luck.

During this period of time, the Liu Mansion was as quiet as a chicken, and no more troubles were caused.

She was slacking off for a while, so she didn't pay much attention there.

Could it be that... Fang Yan'er really let Fang Yan'er give birth to that child?

The Qiao family members were also stunned when they heard her voice.

Qiao Wanshu had "said" this matter a long time ago, but it had been so long that everyone had forgotten about it.

Even though Wu Qingyun mentioned this rumor just now, no one thought about Fang Yaner.

However, Qiao Jingyue said more hesitantly: "I heard... Fang Yan'er had a difficult childbirth not long ago, and she couldn't be saved. One body and two lives... It shouldn't be..."

Lin Yue'er also nodded and said: "That's not a rumor. Fang Yan'er really died in childbirth. The doctor in our medicine hall saw it with his own eyes and it's true."
