Go back to the Song Dynasty as a broker

one year later.

In the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, servants and maids are busy putting up lanterns and festoons.

In the early morning of Zhengzheng Xia, the sky was high and the air was clear. Si Qinghu and Ling'er stood in the courtyard and saw that the entire Xiangfu was decorated in a fiery red and festive manner. With a smile on their faces, they felt an indescribable joy in their hearts.

Half a month later is the day when she and Xiao Tong get married. After waiting for more than a year, this day is finally coming soon.She can also completely leave this Xiangfu that makes her uncomfortable.

Suddenly she saw Li Yu walking in from the corner of the corridor, and her pace obviously slowed down after seeing her.Li Yu's eyes were not as arrogant and domineering as they used to be. His eyes hesitated, as if he had something to say to her, but he was too embarrassed to speak.

After Li Zao overthrew the Duke of Chu, he resumed his position as prime minister three months later, assisted the officials in implementing the New Deal, sent troops to Xixia, won two consecutive victories, and completely stabilized his position in the court.

However, during this year, Mrs. Zhou has been confined to the foot courtyard, lost the title of Mrs. Gaoming, neglected by her husband, became depressed and became sick, took medicine for a year but did not get better, instead, her health continued to deteriorate.Li Yu no longer had the Zhou family around to instigate him, so when he saw Si Qinghu, he took a detour, which made him a lot more behaved.

Li Yu stopped, glanced at the festive arrangement, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked in front of Si Qinghu.

Si Qinghu and Li Yu had been at odds since they were young, but she also knew that Li Yu was not bad in nature, it was just because he grew up beside the Zhou family that he had been indoctrinated with many wrong ideas since he was born, resulting in arrogance, rudeness and jealousy.

Her face was neither hot nor cold, and she didn't feel that she hated Li Yu very much.

Li Yu squeezed his fingers, lowered his cheeks and said nervously: "I have something to tell you."

"Speak." Si Qinghu said calmly.

Li Yu pondered for a while, then said: "I was the one who was arrogant, arrogant and defiant in the past, and did a lot of things that I'm sorry to you."

Since Liang Feifei broke up with her, she has written many letters to apologize and persuade her to stay. Liang Feifei wrote back many letters to her, pointing out her mistakes and teaching her earnestly.In addition, without Zhou Shi around to fan the flames, she finally realized how annoying she used to be.

Seeing Si Qinghu's mother pass away when he was a child, he deliberately bullied Si Qinghu and took away her things, relying on his parents' favor.After growing up and reuniting with Si Qinghu, relying on being the daughter of Xiangguo, she looked down on her status as a geisha and insulted her.When Si Qinghu came home, he clearly took over everything from her, but he regarded her as a villain who took his position, and never respected her as a sister.

Seeing that Si Qinghu was about to get married, she finally plucked up the courage to say the apology she owed.

Si Qinghu was silent for a while, and said: "You are still young, and it is a good thing that you can wake up in time. I accept your apology, and I hope you will behave kindly in the future, and stop being influenced by others."

Li Yu nodded and said nothing.

On the other side, Li Zao sat in the inner hall and looked at the list of invited guests.

Mrs. Zhou was sick, leaning on a cane, and was helped in by a maid.Now her skin is no longer delicate and smooth as before, her dress is graceful and luxurious, her face is as dry and white as wax, and her golden brocade dress can hardly hide her terminal illness, like an old lady.

She was full of anger, as soon as she came in, she said in a weak voice: "Li Zao!"

Li Zao looked at her and said indifferently: "What are you doing out again?"

Recently, I heard that Mrs. Zhou's condition worsened, and it might be difficult for three months. She didn't have the energy to cause trouble in the back house, so Li Zao let her out to let her breathe, so as not to die before Si Qinghu's wedding date, which would bring bad luck to the mansion. .

Mrs. Zhou coughed twice, and said again: "Why did you use Yu'er's dowry for Li Che?"

"There is also the old house in Hangzhou. You promised to give it to Yu'er before, why did you go back and give it to Li Che as a dowry?"

Li Zao patiently explained: "It was all left by Che'er's mother. At first, she thought that Che'er would never come back, so she promised you to give it to Yu'er. Now that she is back, it naturally belongs to her."

As the Prime Minister of a country, he must marry a daughter in a beautiful manner, so too little dowry is a joke?

"What about Yu'er, what's left of Yu'er? Cough cough... How can Yu'er find a good husband without a good dowry?"

"Isn't Yu'er not married yet? Let's talk about it when she gets married!"

Zhou was so angry that she pointed at Li Zao, with tears in her eyes, "You are partial and ruthless!"

Then he coughed again, and trembled all over.She knew that her time was numbered, but she never expected that Feng Feng, who had been an official wife for more than ten years, would be betrayed by her husband when she was dying, and she couldn't even keep her daughter's dowry!

The servant girl patted her on the back lightly to comfort her.

Li Zao said: "You are jealous and easy to get angry, that's why you have developed from a small illness to what you are today. If you want to watch Yu'er get married, you have to restrain yourself."

"you……"

Zhou's got angry again, Li Zao is cursing her to die!

At this time, the steward of the Xiangfu came in and told them that the servants in the palace had come with the imperial decree to confer the imperial concubine.

Li Zao, Zhou Shi, and Si Qinghu and Li Yu who heard the news in the backyard all went to the living room in the front yard and knelt down to listen to the order.

The servant opened the scroll of the imperial decree and read: "The Jiang family in the middle of Sichuan, the prime minister Li Zaofa's wife, is always gentle and kind, she is careful about her body, restrains the pottery, and is an example for women. I heard that she passed away early, and I am sad and helpless. Posthumously confer first-class wife. Hereby!"

The Li family kowtowed to thank the sage and got up to receive the order.

Si Qinghu sighed, filled with emotion.Her mother met with unkind people and died of depression, but in the end, Li Zao and Zhou Shi didn't erase all traces, and got what originally belonged to her.

After this imperial decree came down, all Zhou's thoughts finally came to naught, and he was so out of breath that he vomited blood and passed out!

Li Zao hurriedly invited the Hanlin medical officer, and the old medical officer returned to the living room after the diagnosis and treatment, and said to him with a embarrassed expression: "Xiangguo, Madam's illness may not last long."

"Then is there a way to make her survive half a month?" Li Zao asked.

Half a month later is the day of Si Qinghu's big wedding. His invitations have been sent out, and relatives from all over the world are rushing here. If the happy event turns into a funeral, wouldn't the Prime Minister's family lose all face?

The medical officer is still in a dilemma, "Using good ginseng to prolong life for half a month is not a problem. But my wife's internal organs are seriously depleted, and the pain penetrates to the bone marrow. I'm afraid it will be torture to continue life forcibly, so it's better..."

Li Zao waved his hand to stop the medical officer from continuing, "Please trouble the medical officer to use ginseng to save my wife's life!"

The medical officer bowed his head and agreed.

Si Qinghu sat beside him, and his face changed slightly after hearing Li Zao's decision.I thought that Li Zao was really ruthless, knowing that Zhou could only die in pain if he forcibly continued his life, but he still made such a cruel choice for the sake of his so-called face!

Taking advantage of her mother's illness back then, in order to aggravate her mother's illness, Mrs. Zhou deliberately spoke provocatively and domineeringly. In the end, she never thought that she would have such a day!

……

In the past year, Chen's and Xiao Zi's opened ten new Xiao's popcorn stores in various cottages, and the business is quite booming.

Today is Xiao Tong's wedding day, and on this festive day, a [-]% discount is specially launched, which makes many audiences who come to Goulan to watch the performance feel happy!

In the front yard of Xiao's house, the guests led the servants, holding or carrying congratulatory gifts, and entered one after another. After seeing the congratulatory gifts, the servants announced loudly which house gave what, and the butler sat beside him, listening to the servants' announcement and taking a pen to register.

Xiao Li, Xiao Zi, and Mrs. Chen welcomed the guests with smiles.

Huaelou wore a vermilion official uniform and a long-winged hat, led two servants, and carried a large box of congratulatory gifts. As soon as they stepped through the threshold, they smiled when they saw Mrs. Chen and said, "Congratulations, Mrs. Xiao!"

Mrs. Chen smiled excitedly: "Oh, Master Hua is here!"

Huaelou said: "Where is Xiao Tong?"

"We're preparing for the wedding!"

At this time, the servants from the palace came, and two little servants behind them carried a red jade carving - Luanfeng Heming.

The servant read aloud the rewards and congratulations from the officials, which made all the guests envious.After all, a small deputy envoy of the Jiaofang gets married and can get a reward from the official family, which shows how much Xiao Tong is valued by the official family.

In the new house, the groom's hair was neatly tied, he wore a golden crown, his face was lightly painted, his eyebrows were black and thick, his pink face was smiling, his eyes were full of vigor, and he looked handsome and radiant.

Xiao Yi, Xiao Zhen and Xiao Lizhi are putting on a red coat with wide sleeves for her.

Xiao Yi was happy and sour, like a big sister for the first time, and said earnestly: "Big rice bucket, the third sister finally saw that you got married, and from now on I will hand over the dental practice to you and my junior sister."

Xiao Tong said: "Oh, I know what you have planned, don't you just want to go out to play, don't worry!"

She knew very well that Xiao Yi had been home for two years and was forced by Mrs. Chen to stay at home to help her and Si Qinghu take care of the dental practice.

"You must hurt my sister and sister in the future, don't let her work too much for her teeth. If I come back and see you bully her, don't blame me to beat you!"

Xiao Tong's ears were callused, and he was a little impatient, "Okay, okay, why would I bully her?"

Granny walked in with her cane, "Shiro, are you ready, the auspicious time to welcome the bride is coming soon."

Xiao Tong happily replied: "Okay, grandma!"

Under the urging of his grandma, Xiao Tong quickly put on his wedding attire, went to the Xiao Family Ancestral Hall to pay homage to his ancestors, and at dusk, he rode on a tall brown horse, led a gorgeous red carriage and a huge honor guard, Stretching for three miles, they set off towards Xiangfu with gongs and drums.

The Xiangguo Mansion was also full of guests, except for relatives who were mostly Li Zao's colleagues, most of them were senior officials in the court.

Si Qinghu sat in front of the dressing table in the boudoir, surrounded by Ling'er and other maids.

Linger: "I heard that the Xiao family's welcoming team has already set off."

"Then let's hurry up too." Si Qinghu said.

Ling'er held up the golden phoenix crown, and put it on Si Qinghu's head carefully and squarely.

The expression on Si Qinghu's face was a bit complicated, looking at the woman in the bronze mirror, she was covered in powder and cream, and had crescent eyebrows.Dressed in a blue wedding dress, under the gorgeous and eye-catching phoenix crown is a bun.This means that from today onwards, I will be married as a woman.

No matter how much Xiao Tong loves her, he will feel somewhat complicated.

"Qinghu, here we come!"

A wind chime-like sound came from outside the door, and Jia Luo walked in with Aunt Ruyi and a handsome woman who was strange but somewhat familiar.

Si Qinghu called out: "Jia Luo, Auntie!"

When she was still in the workshop, she recognized Aunt Ruyi as her aunt and presided over the engagement matters for her. Of course, they need to show up on the wedding day.

She pulled Si Qinghu to stand up, and looked at Si Qinghu's phoenix crown and Xiapei, which made her amazed and envious of its beauty.

After Jialuo joined the Jiaofang Division as an official, his hairstyle changed, his complexion became more rosy, and his face was full of smiles, as if he was immersed in the sweetness of love.

She pulled the handsome woman in narrow-sleeved red dress, tied hair and silver crown to Si Qinghu and introduced to Si Qinghu that it was after the general. , took the initiative to make friends, and now the relationship has been established for half a year.

Si Qinghu only felt familiar, frowned and thought for a long time but still didn't recognize who she was, until I personally said that she was a fan meeting that went to Si Qinghu a long time ago, and asked Si Qinghu to sign her clothes The daughter of the general who made Xiao Tong jealous.

She said that she would go back to the countryside with Jia Luo in a few years.

"But at the fan meeting, didn't you say that your ideal is to gallop on the battlefield and defend the Song Dynasty?" Si Qinghu asked doubtfully.

The general's daughter waved her hands and smiled, "Oh, I was young and ignorant back then, and people will change. How could I be willing to leave her when I met such a good girl as Jia Luo?"

Si Qinghu was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, a general was hooked away by the little goblin Jia Luo, really worried about Da Song's future!

"Qinghu, it's a good thing you like Shiro, so I didn't hang myself on the tree of Shiro, otherwise I wouldn't be able to meet such a wonderful girl!" Jia Luo was so happy that he spoke without thinking,

Si Qinghu's bright smile instantly turned into embarrassment. After saying this, he felt as if he had snatched some rags, and he suddenly felt unsatisfied with the coming man.

Aunt Ruyi moistened her throat, and Jia Luo suddenly realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly added: "It's great, Shiro, he's so smart and handsome, and he's very popular among officials in Jiaofangsi!"

Now Si Qinghu's smile froze completely.

"Hehe." Jia Luo was so embarrassed that he couldn't bear it, he didn't explain any more, but took out an exquisite small box and stuffed it into Si Qinghu's hands, "A wedding gift for you and Shiro."

"What came from?"

Jia Luo furtively pulled Si Qinghu aside, turned his back to the crowd, and whispered, "You'll know when you open it."

Si Qinghu pulled the red flower knot on the gift box and opened the box. There were two silver bells with carvings, round and round, with buckles at the tail and a bunch of red tassels attached.

Jia Luo patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I tried this thing, it's super easy to use!"

In an instant, Si Qinghu's fair and delicate face felt as if it had been burned by fire, and a blush crawled from his chin to the back of his ears.

These are a pair of Burmese bells, which are the most commonly used things in intercourse between women. Jia Luo actually gave her such a thing on the day of her wedding!

The author has something to say: Hahaha, Jia Luo is amazing.

Have you ever watched the movie "Miss", the bell at the end is the Burmese bell.
