Chapter 168 Five Years of Chaowu

The newlywed mansion bestowed by the emperor has been cleaned, and all household appliances have been moved from Zhuojun's mansion.The big wedding is coming, the banquet has already been arranged, and the wedding dress is ready and ready to go.All the slaves of the Wei family came to help, the ancestral precepts and customs of big weddings cannot be changed, but this newlyweds are two women, this is the first time in history.Not to mention the current dynasty, even if we search for a thousand years, we can't find any examples to learn from.And because of the great importance of this big wedding, the emperor specifically confessed that no mistake or disrespect would be tolerated, which made the young prisoner You Ming terrified, fearing that something might go wrong, and he could not bear to walk around.

This new mansion is still in Wanquanfang. In fact, it is next door to Zhuojun's mansion. It was the mansion of the former secretary supervisor, and it is more than twice as spacious as Zhuojun's mansion.This mansion became vacant after the former Secretary Supervisor was transferred to the local governor. Li Yanyi felt that the Zhuojun Mansion where the two of them lived was too small. In a small house that couldn't walk two steps away, the Secretary's house was given to them as a wedding gift.

In fact, Zhen Wenjun and Wei Tingxu still prefer Zhuojun Mansion, even if it is small, they arranged and built it bit by bit by themselves, with their painstaking efforts everywhere, and their favorite decorations.The emperor's reward is also inevitable, and Zhen Wenjun has already thought about it. After her wedding, she will find someone to break down the wall between Zhuojun's mansion and the secretary's mansion, and the two houses will be combined into one.They still live in Zhuojun's mansion, and the mansion bestowed by His Majesty can be transformed into a backyard.The study room, flowing water plank road and larger hot spring pool that I wanted before are all available now.

The news that Wei Tingxu and Zhen Wenjun were going to get married quickly spread to the people under the help of the central government. Originally, the people hated the road of Wanxiang, and felt that this road would not benefit the people except for a large increase in labor.The prosperity of commerce and trade is also due to the prosperity of Runing and the towns along the line. Other small towns have not received actual benefits, but instead put a heavier burden on the people who already have no money and no food.

The aversion to Li Yanyi and Wei Tingxu continued until the end of the third year of Zhaowu.

Under the full promotion of Emperor Da Yu, the king of Liuhuo Kingdom, and the small countries along the way who can't wait to get a share of the pie, the Road of Wanxiang has sprung up through post stations, and the cost of traveling caravans has been greatly reduced.For a while, from the capital Runing to the local counties, the larger towns in counties like Nanya, Pingcang, and Dongchun were flooded with caravans and commodities from foreign lands, gradually infiltrating to other places.

The prosperity of trade led to the rapid activity of porcelain kilns and workshops everywhere. The people who finally tasted the sweetness began to think of Li Yanyi's goodness, and began to praise Wei Tingxu's achievements as real achievements.

People who have enough food, clothing, clothing and money to celebrate the new year are gradually changing their views on female officials. At this moment, the evil cult that has been calling "killing witches to do justice for the heavens" actually started to make people's ideas.

A wave of disaster victims had just moved into the huts built for them by the imperial court, and after receiving the relief food, the cult of killing evils followed them.It is said that these cult-killing people forcibly broke into the houses and scolded the victims for being ungrateful, accepting the reward from the witch, shameless!Those who punished the cult asked these victims to leave the shanty to hand over their food, and joined the cult to eradicate demons with them and revive Da Yu's masculinity.

The victims had just regained their lives from the verge of starvation. They didn't care about their shame or masculinity. They just wanted to save their lives, and they would fight against whoever made it difficult for them.

The conflict with Zhu Xiejiao led to the killing of six disaster victims. The matter spread rapidly, and soon everyone in the whole country knew about it.

Even though the Cult of Punishment yelled for injustice, saying that their purpose was always to kill temptresses, and that it was absolutely impossible to attack ordinary people, the reputation of Punishment Sect still stinks a lot.

Once the cult of killing evils rooted in the people loses its foundation, it starts to go downhill.Although it cannot be completely eradicated for a while, it can be regarded as temporary suppression. At least the same-sex marriage law can be implemented smoothly.

Before Wei Tingxu and Zhen Wenjun got married, Li Yanyi went to talk to them. There was no substantive content, just to confirm whether their intention to get married was firm, and repeatedly emphasized that the wedding should not be delayed, otherwise a series of Initiatives implemented by the decree will be disrupted.

Li Yanyi's earnestness at that time, Zhen Wenjun naturally remembered, and also understood that this matter had a lot to do with it.

Just five days before the wedding, Zhen Wenjun made a note of the steps, and then went to the grain and oil shop in Hetongfang. An old man happened to bring a bloody coat, saying that it was a relic of a man named Bu Wensheng.

Zhen Wenjun was startled, and hurriedly pulled him aside.

"This lord once gave a bowl of rice to his servant, and the servant buried him there after seeing him dead for many days, and returned him to his hometown with a bloody coat." The old man who sent the bloody clothes said, "It's a pity that the lord was so young. Unexpected misfortune, really jealous of talents."

Zhen Wenjun took the bloody coat handed over by the old man, and found that there was a roll of unsent letters inside. The letter only wrote a title, without any actual content. It seemed that it was about to be written but had not been written yet.The slips are covered with coarse cloth, and the name on the coarse cloth is the location of the grain and oil shop.

Zhen Wenjun's first thought was not to believe it.But the old man spoke the local dialect of Nanya, and it was very difficult to hear it.Looking at his pair of dirty feet, wearing worn-out sandals with many wounds, it really looked like he had traveled a long distance.

Wei Tingxu will not care about what Bu Jie has been doing after leaving Runing for these years.

Zhen Wenjun held the bloody coat in his hands, gave the old man two taels of silver, and thanked him.

The old man looked poor, but he confiscated the money: "The servant is just doing one last small thing for the benefactor, this money is absolutely unacceptable."

Zhen Wenjun saluted and thanked the old man, and the old man left. Zhen Wenjun planned to go to Sudu in person after his wedding. Bu Jie's wife and children should still be in Sudu.

The heavy snow in Runing this year has been falling until the beginning of the first month, and the streets and yards in the city are covered with thick snow.

On the seventh day of February, the Secretary’s Mansion was brightly lit all night. The slaves shoveled away the snow in advance, and sprinkled salt on the ground. Inside the three tripods, there were pigs with hooves removed, lung spines, and pairs of pigs. All the fish and rabbits are neatly stacked.All kinds of grains and wine bottles are available.From the front hall, the corridor to the wedding room, exquisite hanging curtains are placed everywhere, and a pair of mandarin ducks in the room are beaming with joy.

Zhen Wenjun didn't sleep that night either. She and Wei Tingxu were arranged in two rooms by the young prison guard, who confessed that both of them were "brides" and they couldn't see each other before the ceremony.

Originally, she needed her natal family to help Zhen Wenjun send hair, but she didn't have a natal family.I wanted to say that I can take care of this trivial matter by myself, but I was about to post it by myself when the young prison stopped me.

"There's no way to tie up your own hair when you're newly married!" You Ming looked anxious, but he is a man, even if he advocates lifting the defense between men and women now, he is too embarrassed to help a bride comb her hair.

You Ming found A Zhu and asked A Zhu to comb Zhen Wenjun's hair.

While combing, Ah Zhu told Zhen Wenjun that if it hurts to comb somewhere, he should say so.

Zhen Wenjun seemed to hear it but didn't seem to hear it, he just looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

The people coming and going behind were in a hurry, holding the items that will be used for today's big wedding in their hands.Azhu carefully helped Zhen Wenjun comb her hair, put on a gorgeous waffle, pasted flowers and rouge on Zhen Wenjun... After two sticks of incense, Azhu asked Zhen Wenjun to open his eyes.

Zhen Wenjun saw a completely different self in the bronze mirror.

"It's really 'Bai Xue has a beautiful appearance, and bright pearls have red lips'." A Zhu was also very satisfied with her skillful hands, and looked at Zhen Wenjun's delicate face with a smile on her face. "The girl must be very happy to see her."

"Is it."

"That's right..." Ah Zhu saw that she was a little distracted, and comforted her by saying that most brides are like this, it is inevitable to be nervous, and it will be fine after the ceremony is completed.

"From today on, Wenjun, you are a member of the Wei family." A Zhu put fine gold powder on Zhen Wenjun's pink eyelids, completed the last makeup arrangement, and gently held her hand and said.

Zhen Wenjun looked at his dignified self in the mirror, and he was completely unfamiliar.

The round fan is in hand, and the pure clothes are fluffy.

Zhen Wenjun walked out of the room, covered his face with a round fan amidst the melodious and elegant sound of silk and bamboo, and walked slowly from this end of the corridor step by step under the leadership of A Zhu.The maid behind her dragged a long skirt for her, and the house was full of guests and relatives. When Zhen Wenjun glanced over, all of them were strange, oily faces.

Wei Tingxu came slowly from the other end of the corridor, also covering half of his face with a round fan.Her wedding dress was almost exactly the same as Zhen Wenjun's, but her hair style and makeup were different.Wei Tingxu blocked half of his face, his bright eyes were breathtaking.

Before Zhen Wenjun walked in front of her, her gaze had passed through the long corridor and caught Zhen Wenjun through those hanging gauze lanterns.

Getting closer step by step, it's like the feeling when we first met in Tao Juncheng.

Wei Tingxu's beauty is still undeniable, and he is still the person who makes people fall in love with him.

Wei Lun, the mistress of the Wei family, and everyone in the Wei family sat in the courtyard and watched the couple of the same sex gradually approaching. No one had a look of embarrassment, and no one had any doubts, because the emperor who led all this was also present.

Li Yanyi sat at the top, and beside her were newly selected Moon Chasing Army soldiers guarding her safety.The faces of these moon chasing soldiers were iron, without any expression, as if they couldn't feel any festive atmosphere, and a few sharp knives stood there.

Li Yanyi watched Wei Tingxu and Zhen Wenjun walk in front of each other, bowed to each other, took off the round fan for each other, and together picked up a bowl of meat food presented by the slaves.There are pig livers and lungs, pig spines and ribs in the pot. "Eat in the same prison" these meat foods mean that from now on, they will "treat each other with all sincerity, and put a knife in both ribs."

After eating meat, they have to drink together.

Wei Lun personally held a wine bottle made of paw. The wine bottle was cut vertically along the middle of the paw, the pulp was removed and the red thread was inserted, and it was filled with sweet wine.Pao has a slightly bitter taste, which is mixed with the sweet wine. When the couple drinks it together, it means that they will "share joys and sorrows" from now on.

After drinking the wine, Wei Tingxu and Zhen Wenjun walked towards Li Yanyi side by side, and first worshiped the emperor together before going to the Gaotang.

After Zhen Wenjun fell to the ground, he got up and saw Wei Lun's face was like gold paper dying, and the mistress of the Wei family smiled from ear to ear and her face was flushed.

A Zhu and A Ran handed over a red platform from the left and right, on which there was a pair of scissors, used to cut off a strand of hair and give it to each other.Hair is an incomparably precious thing. Da Yuzimin has stopped cutting hair since he became an adult. Cutting hair is equivalent to beheading, except at the moment of wedding.Cut off the hair and tie it together, and they will be a married couple from then on.

Wei Tingxu cut off a strand of his hair and put it back on the red platform, seeing that Zhen Wenjun had not moved with the golden scissors.

Everyone looked at Zhen Wenjun, wondering what she was thinking.

Wei Tingxu called her softly, but she didn't raise her head, she moved her finger and cut off her blue hair.

At the moment when the hair was tied, the sound of silk and bamboo became slightly higher, the congratulations of Wei's relatives and friends mixed with the compliments of court officials, and the courtyard was full of noise.

From today onwards, I am part of the Wei family, and I am Wei Tingxu's "wife".

Zhen Wenjun said to himself in his heart.Even if people were there, it still felt unreal.

……

The emperor is here, and the emperor is the most important thing in everything, and the bridal chamber is not in a hurry.

Li Yanyi looked very happy, drank a few more glasses, held Wei Tingxu's hand and talked about the past, and couldn't stop talking.

"The widow is old, and always likes to talk about the past, Zi Zhuo can't let the widow talk about it." Li Yanyi's cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were blurred.

"How could Zizhuo dislike His Majesty? Zizhuo has always taken those past events to heart..."

A Liao and A Ran counted the congratulatory gifts together, and asked their wives to help move the gifts into the house.

Zhen Wenjun circled among several high-ranking officials and celebrities for a while, and was a little dazzled by the smell of alcohol.The wedding dress was really tight, and she was not used to it because she was used to wearing casual clothes.After talking to Li Yanyi and Wei Tingxu, he went back to the inner courtyard to change clothes.

"Ma'am." The servant hurriedly chased after him and said, "Ma'am, a beggar came to the door. He said he was an old acquaintance of Ma'am. I think he looks dirty and looks like a madman. He wants to send him away, but he won't leave. I have to see Madam. The nursing home is afraid that Madam's friend will not dare to drive him away, so let the slave come and ask Madam."

"Old man?" Zhen Wenjun quickly walked out the door while taking off the Bu Yao that weighed on her head and made her neck hurt.

There was no beggar in sight outside the door, and the servant let out a bewildered "Hey", Zhen Wenjun took two steps towards the alley ahead, when suddenly someone patted her behind her.Zhen Wenjun turned around quickly, and saw that the man hiding in the alley, covered in rags and stains, with a messy beard covering most of his face, was Bu Jie!

"It really is you!" Zhen Wenjun cried out in a low voice with his heart agitated.

Bu Jie made a "shh" gesture, Zhen Wenjun calmed down, and glanced at the secretary's house, seeing that the house slave hadn't noticed her, he immediately walked deep into the alley with Bu Jie.

After finding a hidden place, Zhen Wenjun and Bu Jie made sure that no one else was around before Bu Jie opened his mouth.

"Girl, Wen Sheng really escaped death this time. In fact, Wen Sheng was about to come back a long time ago, but he was followed all the way. If he hadn't escaped by feigning death, he might not have seen the girl!" Bu Jie saw Zhen Wenjun as if he had been seeing him for a long time The missing relatives couldn't help crying.

Zhen Wenjun's eyes were hot and she almost burst into tears, but she was in no mood to cry, so she supported the steps and asked him who wanted to kill him.Bu Jie shook his head, saying that he only knew they were a group of highly skilled assassins.He asked him again if he had found out something important, Bu Jie's eyes sparkled and then suddenly fell back.

"I found it, but is the girl sure she wants to know?"

Zhen Wenjun said anxiously: "Naturally you must know! Wen Sheng, no matter what you find out, please tell me completely!"

Bu Jie nodded.

When the initial stage sent out the letter about Ruan being the descendant of Su Li for the first time, he was so tired that he fell asleep beside the pile of dirt.I don't know how long he slept until someone kicked him roughly on the head and woke him up.

He climbed up step by step and stared at the skinny old man standing beside him in surprise.

Holding a cane in his hand, the old man asked him, "Who are you from the Ruan family? Why do you want to pick up her past!"

The old man's blunt question hit the point, and Bu Jie said that he was sent by Ruan's daughter to find Ruan.

Zhen Wenjun said in surprise, "How do you know..."

Bu Jie said with a smile: "Although Bu has no peerless talent, he still has the ability to read people's words. The girl's concern for Ruan Shi and the similarity of being equally smart and brave can easily make people think that the girl is Ruan Shi's daughter."

The old man seemed very surprised when he heard this, and asked several times in a row, "You are talking about the daughter of Aqiong of the Ruan family".Bu Jie saw that this person seemed to know something inside, so he continued to question, the old man suddenly sat down in the mud, not feeling dirty at all, and sighed loudly:

"Heaven has mercy on the Ruan family! She saved her daughter's life!"

Hearing his words, Bu Jie seemed to have some deep meaning, seeing his tears pouring down like rain, this person is undoubtedly an old acquaintance of Ruan's Aqiong.

Bu Jie asked the old man about the whereabouts of Ruan Shi Aqiong, the old man said he didn't know, he hadn't seen the girl for 20 years.

This person is Wang Wulang, the servant of the Ruan family, who was the school boy who accompanied Aqiong's father since he was a child, and watched Aqiong grow up.

The Ruan family was loyal to the Ming Emperor back then, and they have always been the Ming Emperor's confidantes.

Originally, Wang Wulang was only willing to talk about these things, but Bu Jie pestered him every day to deliver a bunch of food, and helped him repair the roof and carry water, which moved Wang Wulang and continued to recall more.

Wang Wulang said that Aqiong is a typical descendant of Sulan, with tall eyebrows, deep eyes, beautiful and intelligent, whether it is profound Confucian classics, complex martial arts, or changing tactics, she always understands everything.A Qiong likes to play chess the most. When she was eight years old, she was able to siege and kill Wang Wulang. At the age of 12, she was evenly matched with Duke Ruan. It is difficult to find an opponent in Runing City.

If there is one person who can compete with A Qiong, it is Wei Jinghe, the eldest son of the Wei family.

Wei Jinghe and A Qiong were the legitimate sons and daughters of the Wei family and the Ruan family, the three major families in Ru Ning at that time. At that time, the Da Yu family paid more attention to the right family, let alone marriage, even if they were friends, they had never met any sons of the family. Or the lady mixed with the poor boy.The descendants of the aristocratic families all have their own circles, and Ruan's circle is centered on the Ruan family, and people keep trying to squeeze in.

The sons and daughters of the aristocratic family often hold various gatherings led by Ruan Shi when they are not studying and practicing calligraphy.Aqiong and Wei Jinghe met at Yaju. The two young people admired each other, read and hunted together, and became more and more familiar with each other.

At that time, this pair of golden boy and jade girl envied others, everyone thought they would get married.Unexpectedly, in the end, Aqiong didn't get together with Wei Jing, but became closer with the widower from the countryside.

That widower is Xie Fuchen from Dongchun.
