Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant
Chapter 150: The Golden Temple Bestows Marriage, But It's Lovely and Ruthless
On the Purple Cloud Hall, Jin Qian knelt upright, all the cells in his body from hair to toes were petrified.
What did Master Zhan say just now?
We seem to have heard the word "marriage bestowed"?
Mr. Zhan begged the emperor for a marriage?
Give Master Zhan a marriage?
Who is the object of marriage?
...it seems to be a guy named "Jin Qian"...
"Jinqian"... the name sounds familiar...
who is coming?
Jin Qian turned a pair of stiff eyeballs and fixed his eyes on the young man in red beside him.
But seeing that pair of black eyes staring straight at him, with lingering light in them, thousands of words, all in one eye.
Hey, Mr. Zhan, why are you staring at us?
Turning his eyes again, he saw Master Bao stunned above the main hall, Mr. Gongsun with phoenix eyes round, Dynasty Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu with a face struck by lightning, Yan Chasan's mouth was wide open, Yu Mo's face was gloomy, Pei Tianlan , Zhihua, Fang Shu'an, Ding's Shuangxia, Yizhimei, Ding Yuehua, Xiaoyi, etc. all looked overly shocked.
And the end point of everyone's sight is himself?
Hey, what are you all staring at us for?
However, the Four Rats of the Sky Island and Granny Jiang Ning turned their gazes in another direction in unhappiness.
There, Kneeling on one knee, Shengxue Wuxia was dressed in white clothes, his picturesque face seemed to melt in the dazzling lights, and his expression could no longer be seen clearly.
There is only a pair of peach blossom eyes, looking over the crowd, it looks like a cold stream in early spring, cold and bitter.
Why are you staring at us, White Mouse?
The one you guys want to stare at should be the one named by the cat for marriage...
That guy named "Jin Qian"...
By the way, what about "Jin Qian"?
Why didn't you see that person named "Jin Qian"?
Shouldn't she be by the cat's side...
The pupils of the thin eyes shrank suddenly, and a shock of electricity struck the top of the head.
No, right now, the person next to the cat...is us?
So, that "Jin Qian" is us?
So, we are the one Mr. Zhan just asked for marriage—"Jin Qian"? !
belch!
After a certain dull star person finally reached the end point after the reflex arc circled the earth for a week, the first reaction of the conditional launch was to roll his eyes and pass out with his head down.
Do not!
No!
We can't pass out now!
Now that he's passed out, what should Mr. Zhan do? !
Jin Qian suddenly trembled, and at [-] seconds before he passed out, he slapped his palms on the ground to support his body, rolled his eyes, and woke up abruptly again.
The crime of bullying the king = death!
Marriage = death together!
Mr. Zhan proposes marriage = die with us!
Mao'er is planning to put all his eggs in one basket and bet on our survival with his own life? !
no!No no no no! !
It is absolutely impossible to give a marriage or something!
Jin Qian's thin eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his head suddenly, with a look of death on his face: "Your Majesty..."
"Hiss! I'm scalded to death!"
Unexpectedly, before he could say a word, he saw Renzong jumped up, put the teacup on the table, and grinned.
Everyone was shocked, only then did they realize that it was the emperor who poured all the tea in his hand onto the dragon boots because he was too surprised just now.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, be careful!"
The several eunuchs in front of the imperial court just woke up like a dream, and they rushed to clean up and wipe for the emperor.
Looking at Renzong again, seeing all the eunuchs running around in a hurry, his unfriendly face darkened by half, Long's eyes swept away, and he glared viciously at Zhan Zhao: "Zhan Zhao, you—"
"The Queen Mother is here!"
"Prince Xiaoyi is here!"
"Princess Suzaku of the Liao Kingdom has arrived!"
Suddenly, three shouts came from outside the hall.
In an instant, a large group of people rushed in with a golden light.
But seeing the Empress Dowager wearing a crown of golden feathers and pearls and a robe of embroidered flowers and phoenixes, Shi Shiran stepped into the hall.
On the left and right of the main hall where the Empress Dowager entered at the same time, there were Fan Xiaowang, Fan Ronghua, who was dressed in respectful clothes, and Brother Yelujin, who was dressed in a gorgeous Liao Dynasty palace costume.
Everyone was vigilant, and immediately shouted Qiantui, and kowtowed one after another.
"Kowtow to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is a thousand years old."
"Greetings to Lord Xiaoyi Qiantui, and Princess Suzaku!"
Renzong waved his hands and ordered the eunuchs to retreat, and went forward to salute the queen mother: "I have seen the queen mother."
"The emperor doesn't need to be too polite." The queen mother smiled and helped Renzong up.
"My brother pays respects to the emperor." Fan Ronghua had a bright smile on the left side of his face.
"Brother Yelujin has met the emperor." Brother Yelujin's right red lip slightly hooked.
Renzong twitched his cheeks: "Hey, we are all a family, so you don't need to be polite, let's all sit down!"
Immediately, a eunuch moved seats and placed them on both sides of the Dragon Seat. The Empress Dowager sat in the middle, Renzong was on the right, and Fan Ronghua and Yelujin were on the left.
After all the leaders of the royal family settled down, the Queen Mother raised her eyes to the people who were still kneeling on the ground, and said with a slight smile, "You all have contributed to the extermination of the traitors, so there is no need to be polite. Get up."
Everyone looked at each other for a while, and finally stood up one after another, but no one sat down, they all stood upright.
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, and shifted her gaze to the two kneeling figures in the middle of the hall.
One is red and the other is gray, one has a determined face, the other has a dazed face, the only thing in common is that both of them have a normal and straight body, but one is like a green pine, and the other is like a coffin board.
The corners of the queen mother's lips curled up again unconsciously, and she raised her voice: "Guard Zhan, Lieutenant Jin, why are you still not getting up? Could it be..."
The queen mother's phoenix eyes jumped, and she glanced at Renzong next to her: "Is it okay for someone to bully you?!"
"Cough cough cough..." Renzong coughed violently.
"Pfft! Cough——" Fan Ronghua let out a laugh, and coughed violently due to choking on his saliva.
Brother Yelujin immediately patted Fan Ronghua on the back to please him.
The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly changed.
Everyone looked at each other and exchanged eyes, and immediately recognized the different flavors.
"Guard Zhan, Lieutenant Jin, don't be afraid, Aijia will make decisions for you in everything." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Everyone suddenly settled down.
Jin Qian looked at a certain prince who was overwhelmed by the country and the city, and his eyes were almost teary when he saw the fellow.
Little Prince Fan, the rescue came too timely!
Now, as long as we confess our sins and beg for forgiveness, and the Queen Mother will give us a decree to forgive our sins, then there is no need for cats to use it to propose marriage and sacrifice themselves to save us...
"Please ask the Queen Mother to marry Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian!"
The loud sound resounded and resounded through the hall.
Jin Qian froze, turning his neck to Zhan Zhao one by one.
Lord Zhan!
What are you doing!
Zhan Zhao's face was determined, like a rock, without any hesitation.
Look at the members of the royal family on the high platform.
Fan Xiaowang was dumbfounded, Yelujin was calm, and Renzong was dark.
The Empress Dowager's eyes were slightly rounded, she stared fixedly at Zhan Zhao for a while, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "Give me a marriage?"
"Please grant the Queen Mother!" Zhan Zhao kowtowed.
"Zhan Zhao!" Renzong couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up and shouted, "Could it be that you forgot that Jin Qian was guilty of bullying the emperor, and your request for marriage at this time is no different from asking for death!"
"Zhan Zhao knows!" The red-clothed young man's black eyes were radiant, and a gentle smile that was as bright as the moonlight burst out, "For Jinqian, Zhan Zhao will die with no regrets!"
A hall of tranquility.
Everyone in the hall stopped breathing at the same time, and their hearts stopped beating for half a beat.
thump!thump! !
Thump Thump Thump Thump Thump! !
The violent heartbeat was deafening, making Jin Qian tremble all over.
In a blank mind, only that clear voice repeats infinitely like an echo from overseas...Repeat, repeat...
Don't regret it even if you die!
For Jinqian, even if you die, you will not regret it!
"hiss!"
There were several sounds of gasping for breath, but seeing all the maids in the palace blushing, unexpectedly a few palace maids and eunuchs groaned...and fainted...
Renzong let out a long sigh and sat down with a plop, his face full of despair.
The queen mother smiled, and looked at the emperor beside her: "Emperor, how is it?"
Renzong raised his head and smiled bitterly: "My mother's eyes are as bright as torches, I feel ashamed."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
What does the emperor mean by these words?
"Hahaha, the Ai family has long said that Captain Jin is a woman, but you just don't believe it, the emperor, and the Ai family also said that Zhan Huwei will live and die with Captain Jin, but you still don't believe it, the emperor, you have to fight with the Ai family. Bet, now, you have lost!" The queen mother was very happy.
Renzong shook his head and chuckled, "I'm so convinced!"
The crowd was stunned.
Jin Qian's body flickered, and his brain cells recovered from the shock just now, and they began to work rapidly.
So, the Empress Dowager's words mean...
Today's show is a funny bet between the queen mother and the emperor...
No! Hey!
Almost scared us out of a heart attack!
At the same time, everyone who wanted to understand the reason together with Jin Qian immediately became embarrassing and energetic.
The queen mother smiled kindly and nodded to Fan Ronghua beside her.
Fan Ronghua got up immediately, took out a volume of imperial decree from the wide sleeves of his toga, snapped it=·1235, and raised his voice: "Kaifeng Prefecture Jinqianjin Xiaowei accepts the decree!"
"Jin, Jinqian accept the order!"
Jin Qian's whole body trembled, and he kowtowed immediately.
"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Although she is a woman, Jin Qian, the sixth-rank school lieutenant of the Kaifeng Mansion, has a heart for the world and is utterly loyal. Since she served under the Kaifeng Mansion, she has devoted herself to her duties and made outstanding achievements repeatedly. She is indeed a model for the people of the world. Jinqian is now granted the title of 'The First Female Guard of the Great Song Dynasty', a fourth-rank official title, five hundred rewards, ten boxes of treasures, a book of kindness, and hope that Erying will be loyal to the country. This is my honor!"
After reading the imperial decree, the whole hall was shocked.
Not only has the crime of deceiving the emperor been forgiven, but she has also been awarded the fourth rank, and even won the honor of "the first female guard of the Song Dynasty".
"Long, long live, long live, long live!"
Jin Qian received the imperial edict with trembling arms, completely dumbfounded.
All I can think of is this sentence:
Get promoted, get rich, have both fame and fortune, and reach the pinnacle of life!
"Congratulations, Golden Guard!"
I don't know who it was, and shouted.
Immediately, the whole hall became lively, and everyone happily congratulated Jin Qian.
Jin Qian was in the wave of congratulations and praise from the crowd, and looked closely at the red-clothed guard beside him, grinning his mouth to the roots of his ears: "Master Zhan, this subordinate is now a fourth-rank guard, Mr. Zhan, that's great! alright!!"
Zhan Zhao looked at Jin Qian quietly, with a clear smile on his handsome face, but there was a trace of desolation faintly in his black eyes.
"Well, cough!" The Empress Dowager suddenly cleared her throat.
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
The queen mother smiled and looked at Renzong: "Did the emperor forget something?"
"Ahem, I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten!" Renzong laughed dryly, cleared his throat, "Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian accepted the order—"
Eh?besides?Don't you want to give a house and a car?
Jin Qian knelt down with surprise on his face.
Zhan Zhao's black eyes flashed, and he kowtowed respectfully.
Renzong looked at the two people in the hall, and smiled slightly: "The third-rank guard Zhan Zhao with a knife in the imperial court is of noble character and loyal to the country, and the fourth-rank guard Jin Qian is loyal, brave, benevolent and righteous, and a heroine. I decree to give you a marriage, and I hope that you two will grow old together, with one heart and one mind, and be loyal to the country together, so don't let me down."
Nani? !
Jin Qian raised his head suddenly, his eyes round and narrow.
Marriage?
Why do you still want to marry? !Now that we don't have the death penalty of deceiving the emperor, we don't need marriages at all!
"Zhan Zhao accepts the decree, long live my emperor Xie, long live, long live!"
Forehead?
no!Wait a moment!
Mr. Zhan, don't accept the order first, you have accepted the order, so what's wrong with Fifth Master Bai?
Don't we want to become the mistress between Mr. Zhan and Master Bai? !
What a joke!
Jin Qian's narrow eyes were sharp, he stood up suddenly, and opened his mouth to shout: "Report to the emperor, my subordinates..."
"Give me another mansion, named Guard Mansion!" Renzong suddenly raised his eyebrows and said again.
Mansion?villa? !
Jin Qian shook his head.
Zhan Zhao's brow twitched, and he had a bad premonition instantly.
"Give another 500 taels of gold!" Renzong added with a ticked corner of his mouth.
gold!gold! !
Jin Qian's mouth opened wide, and his narrow eyes shone brightly.
Zhan Zhao stared at Jin Qian suddenly.
"Add ten boxes of jewels!" Renzong smiled even more.
jewelry!jewelry! !jewelry! ! !
Zhan Zhao's face turned black.
"Give another thousand taels of silver!"
Silver silver silver silver silver! !
Jin Qian swallowed wildly.
A vein popped out of Zhan Zhao's forehead.
Renzong looked at Jinqian's handsome red-clothed guard whose face was as dark as Lord Bao's, and laughed so hard that his intestines were knotted: "Jinqian, still don't accept the order?"
"Yes! Jinqian accepts the order! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Jin Qian's face was full of light, and he suddenly kowtowed and shouted.
The entire Golden Palace fell silent.
then……
"Pfft!" The Queen Mother laughed out loud.
Fan Ronghua supported his forehead, Yelujin shook his head and smiled lightly,
"Hahahaha..." Renzong clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Very good! Very good!"
The emperor was so happy that everyone who had been holding back for a long time finally couldn't hold back, and they all burst out laughing.
"My God, people say Captain Jin is a money fanatic, but I still don't believe it. Now that I see him, his reputation is really well-deserved!"
"Hey, look at Zhan Zhao's face..."
"The old man laughed so hard, hahahaha..."
Amidst the laughter, Mr. Bao's black face showed satisfaction, he looked at Mr. Gongsun and Yan Chasan, Mr. Gongsun smiled with his beard, and Yan Chasan let out a long breath.
Bai Yutang quietly looked at the two people in the hall for a long time, then gently closed his eyes, and a smile as light as a cloud appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In Zhan Zhao's dark eyes, the spring light streamed intoxicatingly, but the whole body could not restrain a trace of chill, all focused on Jin Qian's body, it was really a combination of ice and fire, extremely complicated.
As for Jin Qian, his whole head was buried on the ground, and he didn't even dare to lift it up halfway, because he was as stiff as a stone due to excessive shock.
What did we just do?
Accept order? !
Accepted the imperial decree of marriage? !
Received the imperial decree from Master He Zhan to bestow marriage? !
NO! !
-
Zhan Zhao, the third-rank imperial guard with a sword, was bestowed a marriage by the emperor!
This news was like a huge bomb, which immediately caused an uproar in Bianjing, Kaifeng.
It is said that upon hearing this news, [-]% of the ladies in Bianjing City who had not left the pavilion cried and fainted in the Xiulou;
On the other hand, the girls from common people's homes were relatively calm... um... so calm that they secretly organized a team to assassinate Zhan Zhao's fiancée who was given a marriage.
As for the bachelors in Bianjing City, [-]% of them were overjoyed, bowing down to heaven and earth, celebrating the disappearance of their biggest rival in love, and the remaining [-]%... It is said that they fainted in the hut...
Of course, the above gossip is not enough.
In fact, the focus of attention of millions of people in Bianjing, Kaifeng is...
Who is the woman whom the emperor bestowed marriage to Mr. Zhan?
The amazing thing is that although the news of Mr. Zhan being granted a marriage has been released for several days, the identity of the woman has been kept secret, which is very mysterious.
There is no official news, but there are a lot of folk gossip, and there are all kinds of wonderful storytelling stories with twists and turns: there is Zhan Yumao, the princess of Liao Kingdom, the imperial garden, love at first sight, Tianleidihuo version; When dragons meet and flirt;
There is a version of Nanxia Jianghu Heroes Fighting Demon Cult Heroes to Save the Beauty with a Body;
For a while, there were different opinions and gossip in the streets.
-
Dongyang is smeared with gold, and the sun is long.
After noon, in the market outside Donghua Gate in Bianjing, the rush hour for the market has passed. Many small merchants either find a place to take a nap, or gather at the tea stand in the center of the market to listen to storytelling jokes.
Today, we are talking about the latest episode of "Southern Chivalrous Love Determines the Rivers and Lakes": "Martial Competition Determines Marriage".
"It's said that the chivalrous girl was wearing an embroidered scarlet jacket, a pleated pleated skirt, and a five-color silk handkerchief on her head, making her look even more charming and graceful. Master Zhan stood still, said "please", and then opened his arms , fighting in one place. But when swords come and go, they are all sharp..."
Mr. Storyteller is a gentleman over forty years old, with three clean beards and good facial features, but he is obviously not good at this kind of jokes about Jianghu opera. The thirty or so people who wrote the book were all yawning and drowsy.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Xun, don't talk about it, we're going to fall asleep." A burly man yawned and said, it was Zhu Dazhuang who sold pork on the street.
"That's right, the first few times were okay, but the further you get to the back, the more dull the sound, and it makes people feel sleepy." A woman in an embroidered jacket beside her sighed, she was the proprietress of Nan's steamed stuffed bun shop Nan Sanniang.
Mr. Xun, the storyteller, turned dark, stopped reading, and said with a long sigh: "Forget it, Xun also thinks it's very boring."
"Come, come, Mr. Xun, come and sit down and have a sip of tea. After talking about it for a long time, I think his mouth is dry." The chubby Shopkeeper Su of Jinxiu Cloth Shop cheerfully patted the seat next to him, and greeted him.
Mr. Xun did not refuse, turned around and sat next to shopkeeper Su to drink tea.
"Hey, let me say Mr. Xun, the storytelling jokes you mentioned before, such as five rats making trouble in Tokyo, catching ghosts in Kaifeng Mansion, royal cats fighting against golden fur mice, aren't they all good? Why do you listen to this passage this time? Why is it so awkward?" Zhu Dazhuang asked.
"That's not bad!" Nan Sanniang rolled her eyes and said, "You haven't heard those jokes about Mrs. Zhan meeting his daughter late at night, and Nan Xia's love for the Imperial Garden. It's too horrible to listen to!"
"That's it!"
"What's that all about?"
"It's so nonsense!"
More than 30 people sitting around the tea stall and listening to the book nodded in agreement.
"Oh, can that be compared?" Mr. Xun sighed, "The jokes in the past were all written by Captain Jin, and all of them are excellent. But now, I don't know where it came from. , It’s simply... well, don’t say that it sounds uncomfortable to you, Xun also feels uncomfortable when he talks about it!”
"I also feel bad." Shopkeeper Su added a sip of tea to Mr. Xun, "Who do you think Mr. Zhan is? He is a dignified imperial guard, one of the best figures in the world, how could he do something like a daughter of an official at a night party?" Can't wait for the whereabouts of the influx?"
"The one who fell in love with the princess at first sight, ouch, just look like Mr. Zhan, unless the princess looks so beautiful, how can you make Mrs. Zhan fall in love at first sight?!" Nan Sanniang said with a look of disdain.
"Hey, if the princess looks as good-looking as Bai Wuye, maybe it's still possible." Zhu Dazhuang touched his chin and said.
As soon as this remark came out, everyone burst into laughter.
"Hey, old Zhu, if Fifth Master Bai listens to this, you will feel better!"
"Fifth Bai will definitely sell your head and your pig's head together."
"Hey, I'm just talking casually. Everyone listens to it and it's over, but please don't spread it!" Zhu Dazhuang was anxious and sweated.
The crowd laughed again.
"According to Xun, neither the princess nor the official daughter is a good match for Mr. Zhan." Mr. Xun expressed his opinion, "Mr. Zhan was born in the Jianghu, and then joined the Kaifeng mansion. He lived a life of licking blood with knives. Those who are weak How can a princess who looks like a flower bone, a daughter, live with Mr. Zhan?!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone agreed.
"Mr. Xun is right."
"That's why I said a long time ago that the object of the emperor's marriage is definitely not a princess daughter, and it's useless!"
"Tch, that was a marriage bestowed by the emperor, who knows who it was given to!"
"In my opinion, it's better to give Mr. Zhan a chivalrous woman from the Jianghu. A Jianghu man and a Jianghu man are a perfect match."
"What do you know, Mr. Zhan is now a third-rank official, and the Jianghu and the officials have never dealt with each other, so he must not be a Jianghu chivalrous woman!"
"In that case, maybe she really is a princess!"
"I think it's the official daughter!"
"Princess!"
"The heroine!"
"Miss!"
As everyone talked, they divided into different factions and quarreled.
Seeing that the debate was about to escalate, Mr. Xun suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "I think Mr. Yizhan's temperament must be matched with someone with a sharp personality, so that it can last in the long run."
"Mr. Xun is right. It's best if you can learn martial arts and sing along with Mrs. Zhan." Shopkeeper Su nodded and said, "Also, Mr. Zhan catches thieves and murderers every day, so it is inevitable that he will suffer some skin trauma. If Mrs. Zhan It would be better if you have some medical skills.”
"Hahaha, shopkeeper Su, are you talking about Mr. Gongsun?" Nan Sanniang laughed.
Shopkeeper Su's face darkened.
"If you say that, Mr. Zhan's daughter-in-law must also know martial arts, medicine, and a sharp personality, then simply add one more thing, and work in Kaifeng Mansion just like Mr. Zhan, wouldn't that be a perfect match?" Nan San Niang said teasingly.
"Eh? Wait a minute, the person you're talking about sounds familiar to me!" Zhu Dazhuang suddenly called out.
Everyone looked at Zhu Dazhuang, especially Mr. Xun, shopkeeper Su and Nan Sanniang, all three pairs of eyes showed a very secret look of expectation.
"This is about Fifth Master Bai!" Zhu Dazhuang slapped his thigh.
The crowd fell.
Mr. Xun, shopkeeper Su and Nan Sanniang supported their foreheads at the same time.
"Hey, old Zhu, why are you talking about fifth master Bai? Don't you have some thoughts about fifth master Bai?!" Everyone laughed.
"Don't talk nonsense! Don't talk nonsense! If Bai Wuye hears this, it will be fatal!" Zhu Dazhuang roared with a red face and neck.
Everyone laughed even worse.
Seeing that this discussion was about to disappear forever, Mr. Xun glanced at Shopkeeper Su and Nan Sanniang beside him, sighed, and said, "Oh, it would be great if Captain Jin was here!"
There was silence all around.
"That's right, if Captain Jin was here, we would have known the news a long time ago." Nan Sanniang said with emotion.
"If Captain Jin was here, the matter of Mr. Zhan's marriage from the Golden Palace would have been compiled into a storytelling book and spread all over Bianjing!" Shopkeeper Su said with a look of discretion.
When everyone heard the words, they all agreed.
"It's strange to say that on weekdays, even if Mr. Zhan has made new clothes and a new pair of sword tassels, Captain Jin can make up three storytellings to talk about it. How come Mr. Zhan was arrested this time?" The bestowal of a marriage is such a big deal, yet Captain Jin didn’t come up with any new jokes?!” Mr. Xun asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"It's not just that there are no new jokes! It's been almost half a month, and I haven't even seen Captain Jin." Zhu Dazhuang sighed, "If Captain Jin doesn't come to bargain, this business won't be fun anymore. ah!"
"Yes, yes!"
"On weekdays, I always racked my brains to think about how to make Captain Jin cut down the price by a few cents. The days are quite busy. Now that Captain Jin is not coming to the market, I suddenly feel empty."
"You are so right, why do you feel that this day is dry!"
As soon as Jinqian was mentioned, there were many spectators around the tea stall, and small vendors also gathered together, discussing it in a hurry, and before they knew it, nearly a hundred people gathered.
"Also, when Mr. Zhan patrols the streets every day, the little girls and daughters-in-law who are watching beside him feel that something is wrong!" Nan Sanniang frowned.
"What's wrong?" Everyone wondered.
"It's just..." Nan Sanniang looked like she wanted to say something but didn't know how to describe it.
"I just feel that there is something missing from Mr. Zhan's side!" A little girl interjected.
"That being said, it's really..."
"There is indeed something missing!"
The crowd of onlookers stopped discussing, and they all thought about this esoteric question together with a preoccupied look: What is missing around Mr. Zhan?
Suddenly, Zhu Dazhuang slapped the table, jumped up and shouted: "I know, it's Captain Jin! Captain Zhan is missing Captain Jin!"
With such a shout, everyone suddenly became enlightened.
"That's right, that's Lieutenant Jin!"
"That's right, that's right! Captain Jin patrols the streets with Mr. Zhan on weekdays! There is one missing suddenly, don't you feel awkward!"
"Go, go, what do you know! Didn't you notice that when Captain Jin is not around, Mr. Zhan's whole body is air-conditioned?"
"That's right, when Colonel Jin was by Mr. Zhan's side, Mr. Zhan always had a smiling face, and when he took a look at his whole body, he was indescribably comfortable."
"I used to be able to take the opportunity of saying hello to Captain Jin to have a chat with Mr. Zhan, but now that Captain Jin is not here, Mr. Zhan walked so fast that he couldn't even catch up..."
"When Xiaowei Jin was here, he often dragged Mr. Zhan to the store to bargain! Although the bargaining was painful, it may be worth the pain to see Mr. Zhan smiling happily."
"Hey, Captain Jin is not here now, Mr. Zhan counted the shops and didn't enter..."
"There is no smiling face..."
"Still walking fast..."
"There are fewer words..."
After chattering, everyone suddenly discovered an astonishing fact.
That is……
Master Zhan without Captain Jin by his side...
It seems that he is not as developed as before...
Mr. Xun drank his tea slowly, looked at the silent crowd, his eyes flashed, and he said: "Speaking of which, Xun has heard some terrible news recently."
"What news?" Shopkeeper Su and Nan Sanniang asked at the same time.
Mr. Xun raised his eyes and scanned the crowd, lowered his voice, with a mysterious expression on his face: "It's just..."
The crowd pricked up their ears.
"That's all, don't talk nonsense!" Mr. Xun suddenly leaned back, as if he would kill him without saying anything.
Everyone exploded with a bang:
"do not!"
"Mr. Xun, this is not a storyteller. Don't say half a sentence and leave half a sentence to make people unable to eat!"
"Quick, quick, Mr. Xun, hurry up and say, don't keep it up!"
Mr. Xun leaned forward, swallowed his saliva, and looked at the crowd: "Xun also heard it, please don't spread it randomly!"
Everyone nodded and swore.
"Absolutely no nonsense!"
"Mr. Xun, don't worry, we are all rotten in our stomachs what you said."
Only then did Mr. Xun nod his head, lowered his expression, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Captain Jin hasn't shown up these days because he committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and was..."
As he spoke, Mr. Xun stroked his neck with his palm.
A dead silence.
"Cut! Nonsense!"
"Lieutenant Jin and Master Bao and Master Zhan just made great contributions in Xiangyang, how is that possible!"
"Who is this, spread the news?! Court death!"
"That's right, Captain Jin is such a good person, how could he commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?!"
Everyone has an expression that you have been deceived, Mr. Xun.
"Crime of deceiving the emperor? What kind of crime of deceiving the emperor?" Nan Sanniang asked a lot.
The surroundings suddenly fell silent again.
Mr. Xun stared wide-eyed: "It is said that it is because the captain of the Jin school disguised herself as a man and pretended to be an official—"
A deadly silence spread among the crowd.
Everyone was dumbfounded and horrified.
"A woman disguised as a man?!"
"impossible!"
"Captain Jin is clearly a boy!"
"Exactly, how does Colonel Jin look like a woman?!"
Everyone shook their heads like rattles.
"You really don't look like a woman?" Shopkeeper Su murmured suddenly.
Everyone was inexplicably silent.
The image of a certain school lieutenant circled in everyone's minds.
She has a slender figure, thick eyebrows and fine eyes, and when she sees silver, her whole body will shine.
"Well, so to speak, Captain Jin seems to have lost some weight..."
"I'm not tall..."
"The waist is very thin..."
"The arms and legs are also quite thin..."
"The eyes are also thin..."
"Speak, the voice..."
Everyone raised their eyes and recalled.
Damn, every time I hear Captain Jin haggling, I'm terrified and just thinking about how to meet the enemy, but I really didn't pay attention——
Captain Jin's voice seems to be a little softer than that of ordinary men...
It's not really a woman disguised as a man, is it? !
This startling question appeared in everyone's mind.
Everyone looked at each other with expressions of horror.
"Women disguised as men?"
"The crime of deceiving the king?"
"The crime of deceiving the emperor is a capital crime!"
Someone yelled, and suddenly everyone turned pale.
"Death, death penalty?!
"No way! Captain Jin is a good man!"
"Lieutenant Jin has done so many good things for our people, he can't die!"
"The little thief robbed my purse last time, and Captain Jin helped me get it back."
"My old daughter is still a matchmaker for Xiaowei Jin!"
"The last time the bully wanted to snatch my daughter-in-law as a concubine, Captain Jin passed by and beat up the bully."
"The last time my rooster flew to the roof and couldn't get up and down, it was Captain Jin who pulled Mr. Zhan to catch the rooster!"
"Last time..."
"Last time—"
"Captain Jin is a good man!"
"So what if it's a girl?"
"Lieutenant Jin has never harmed anyone!"
"Captain Jin can't die!"
Nearly a hundred people on the field fell into the atmosphere of deeply missing Captain Jin, and some of them were soft-hearted and secretly wiped their tears.
Mr. Xun, shopkeeper Su and Nan Sanniang looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths curled up at the same time.
At this moment, a loud shout came from the end of the street:
"The royal list is posted!"
I saw a young man dressed as a clerk running over panting, and shouted loudly: "The emperor's list, the emperor's list is posted!"
"Emperor List?!"
"But there is news about Captain Jin?"
"Captain Jin, are you alright?"
Everyone panicked immediately, and surrounded them with a huff, asking questions in a hurry.
"Ah? Captain Jin?" The guy took a breath, stared at the crowd, and was stunned for a moment before he realized, shaking his head and saying, "There is no Captain Jin anymore!"
"what!"
"My God!"
This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which immediately blasted everyone into mourning.
But the guy smiled: "Lieutenant Jin has become a fourth-rank guard!"
Everyone stared at the buddy.
The clerk was even more happy: "The emperor even personally named the golden guard as 'the first female guard of the Song Dynasty'!"
Everyone stared again.
"Also! The emperor bestowed a marriage on Mr. Zhan and Jin Huwei, and also gave him a guard mansion. He gave a lot of gold, silver and jewels. He said that they will get married on an auspicious day!" the waiter said with a proud face.
"Wow-boom!!"
The whole market suddenly boiled.
"Great, Captain Jin won't die!"
"What are you talking about Captain Jin, it's the guard Jin!"
"It's the number one female guard in Song Dynasty!"
"Yes, yes, the first female guard!"
"Great, great!"
"It turns out that Lord Zhan's marriage partner is Jin Huwei!"
Someone came back to God and sighed.
Everyone fell silent, and then...
"Hello, Golden Guard!"
"It's better than those princesses who can't be touched or seen, Miss Qianjin!"
"It's also better than those chivalrous girls I don't know!"
"The golden guard is the most suitable for supporting the show!"
In the end, because of the foreshadowing of various editions of unreliable "storytelling jokes", and just relaxing from the great panic of "Jin Qian was beheaded for committing a capital crime", all the people accepted the marriage bestowed by the emperor without any obstacles. Showing the facts about Zhao and Jinqian, Mr. Xun and shopkeeper Su wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and at the same time turned their eyes to Nan Sanniang over there.
Nan Sanniang tiptoed to the women's group of older girls and younger daughters-in-law, and listened quietly: "So it's Jinqian."
"Jin Qian's words..."
The girls looked up and recalled how Jin Qian and Zhan Zhao got along:
"Jin Qian, squat for half an hour more tonight!"
"Jin Qian, hang garlic and squat for an hour tonight!"
"Jin Qian, practice two more hours tonight!"
"Jin Qian, patrolling the streets today, why are you being lazy?!"
"Jin Qian!" The air-conditioning shot out——
"Jinqian!!" The cold wind was fierce——
"Jinqian!!!" The whirlwind of Hanche whizzed up——
Damn!I can't be jealous at all!
and……
Do not know why……
The girls exchanged glances with each other.
"Jin Qian doesn't look like a woman at all."
"If Jin Qian and Mr. Zhan are together..."
"Do you think..."
All the girls showed weird smiles in unison:
"In Jinqian's words, it's Cao Ming Cao Ming!"
So, under this indescribable black background atmosphere, someone's status as Mrs. Zhan was strangely accepted...
Nan Sanniang turned her head, pursed her lips and smiled at Mr. Xun and shopkeeper Su who were opposite.
The two on the opposite side let out a big breath at the same time.
At the same time, at the outermost edge of the crowd, a white-faced and beardless little eunuch and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old little Zaoli looked at each other, they turned around at the same time, and ran in opposite directions.
The little eunuch ran all the way back to the Forbidden Palace of the imperial city, and reached the front of the imperial court without any obstacles.
Renzong on the dragon seat was already sitting on pins and needles. When he saw the little eunuch, he hurriedly got up and asked anxiously, "How is it?"
The little eunuch knelt down and kowtowed: "My Majesty, everything is going smoothly according to the plan."
Renzong's complexion relaxed, and he sat down with a plop: "Okay, okay! Pass on the decree, Kaifeng Mansion has made great contributions to the peace of the people, and the whole mansion will be rewarded with one month's salary!"
"Follow the order!" The little eunuch grunted and stood up and retreated.
Renzong sat on the dragon seat,
What did Master Zhan say just now?
We seem to have heard the word "marriage bestowed"?
Mr. Zhan begged the emperor for a marriage?
Give Master Zhan a marriage?
Who is the object of marriage?
...it seems to be a guy named "Jin Qian"...
"Jinqian"... the name sounds familiar...
who is coming?
Jin Qian turned a pair of stiff eyeballs and fixed his eyes on the young man in red beside him.
But seeing that pair of black eyes staring straight at him, with lingering light in them, thousands of words, all in one eye.
Hey, Mr. Zhan, why are you staring at us?
Turning his eyes again, he saw Master Bao stunned above the main hall, Mr. Gongsun with phoenix eyes round, Dynasty Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu with a face struck by lightning, Yan Chasan's mouth was wide open, Yu Mo's face was gloomy, Pei Tianlan , Zhihua, Fang Shu'an, Ding's Shuangxia, Yizhimei, Ding Yuehua, Xiaoyi, etc. all looked overly shocked.
And the end point of everyone's sight is himself?
Hey, what are you all staring at us for?
However, the Four Rats of the Sky Island and Granny Jiang Ning turned their gazes in another direction in unhappiness.
There, Kneeling on one knee, Shengxue Wuxia was dressed in white clothes, his picturesque face seemed to melt in the dazzling lights, and his expression could no longer be seen clearly.
There is only a pair of peach blossom eyes, looking over the crowd, it looks like a cold stream in early spring, cold and bitter.
Why are you staring at us, White Mouse?
The one you guys want to stare at should be the one named by the cat for marriage...
That guy named "Jin Qian"...
By the way, what about "Jin Qian"?
Why didn't you see that person named "Jin Qian"?
Shouldn't she be by the cat's side...
The pupils of the thin eyes shrank suddenly, and a shock of electricity struck the top of the head.
No, right now, the person next to the cat...is us?
So, that "Jin Qian" is us?
So, we are the one Mr. Zhan just asked for marriage—"Jin Qian"? !
belch!
After a certain dull star person finally reached the end point after the reflex arc circled the earth for a week, the first reaction of the conditional launch was to roll his eyes and pass out with his head down.
Do not!
No!
We can't pass out now!
Now that he's passed out, what should Mr. Zhan do? !
Jin Qian suddenly trembled, and at [-] seconds before he passed out, he slapped his palms on the ground to support his body, rolled his eyes, and woke up abruptly again.
The crime of bullying the king = death!
Marriage = death together!
Mr. Zhan proposes marriage = die with us!
Mao'er is planning to put all his eggs in one basket and bet on our survival with his own life? !
no!No no no no! !
It is absolutely impossible to give a marriage or something!
Jin Qian's thin eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his head suddenly, with a look of death on his face: "Your Majesty..."
"Hiss! I'm scalded to death!"
Unexpectedly, before he could say a word, he saw Renzong jumped up, put the teacup on the table, and grinned.
Everyone was shocked, only then did they realize that it was the emperor who poured all the tea in his hand onto the dragon boots because he was too surprised just now.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, be careful!"
The several eunuchs in front of the imperial court just woke up like a dream, and they rushed to clean up and wipe for the emperor.
Looking at Renzong again, seeing all the eunuchs running around in a hurry, his unfriendly face darkened by half, Long's eyes swept away, and he glared viciously at Zhan Zhao: "Zhan Zhao, you—"
"The Queen Mother is here!"
"Prince Xiaoyi is here!"
"Princess Suzaku of the Liao Kingdom has arrived!"
Suddenly, three shouts came from outside the hall.
In an instant, a large group of people rushed in with a golden light.
But seeing the Empress Dowager wearing a crown of golden feathers and pearls and a robe of embroidered flowers and phoenixes, Shi Shiran stepped into the hall.
On the left and right of the main hall where the Empress Dowager entered at the same time, there were Fan Xiaowang, Fan Ronghua, who was dressed in respectful clothes, and Brother Yelujin, who was dressed in a gorgeous Liao Dynasty palace costume.
Everyone was vigilant, and immediately shouted Qiantui, and kowtowed one after another.
"Kowtow to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is a thousand years old."
"Greetings to Lord Xiaoyi Qiantui, and Princess Suzaku!"
Renzong waved his hands and ordered the eunuchs to retreat, and went forward to salute the queen mother: "I have seen the queen mother."
"The emperor doesn't need to be too polite." The queen mother smiled and helped Renzong up.
"My brother pays respects to the emperor." Fan Ronghua had a bright smile on the left side of his face.
"Brother Yelujin has met the emperor." Brother Yelujin's right red lip slightly hooked.
Renzong twitched his cheeks: "Hey, we are all a family, so you don't need to be polite, let's all sit down!"
Immediately, a eunuch moved seats and placed them on both sides of the Dragon Seat. The Empress Dowager sat in the middle, Renzong was on the right, and Fan Ronghua and Yelujin were on the left.
After all the leaders of the royal family settled down, the Queen Mother raised her eyes to the people who were still kneeling on the ground, and said with a slight smile, "You all have contributed to the extermination of the traitors, so there is no need to be polite. Get up."
Everyone looked at each other for a while, and finally stood up one after another, but no one sat down, they all stood upright.
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, and shifted her gaze to the two kneeling figures in the middle of the hall.
One is red and the other is gray, one has a determined face, the other has a dazed face, the only thing in common is that both of them have a normal and straight body, but one is like a green pine, and the other is like a coffin board.
The corners of the queen mother's lips curled up again unconsciously, and she raised her voice: "Guard Zhan, Lieutenant Jin, why are you still not getting up? Could it be..."
The queen mother's phoenix eyes jumped, and she glanced at Renzong next to her: "Is it okay for someone to bully you?!"
"Cough cough cough..." Renzong coughed violently.
"Pfft! Cough——" Fan Ronghua let out a laugh, and coughed violently due to choking on his saliva.
Brother Yelujin immediately patted Fan Ronghua on the back to please him.
The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly changed.
Everyone looked at each other and exchanged eyes, and immediately recognized the different flavors.
"Guard Zhan, Lieutenant Jin, don't be afraid, Aijia will make decisions for you in everything." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Everyone suddenly settled down.
Jin Qian looked at a certain prince who was overwhelmed by the country and the city, and his eyes were almost teary when he saw the fellow.
Little Prince Fan, the rescue came too timely!
Now, as long as we confess our sins and beg for forgiveness, and the Queen Mother will give us a decree to forgive our sins, then there is no need for cats to use it to propose marriage and sacrifice themselves to save us...
"Please ask the Queen Mother to marry Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian!"
The loud sound resounded and resounded through the hall.
Jin Qian froze, turning his neck to Zhan Zhao one by one.
Lord Zhan!
What are you doing!
Zhan Zhao's face was determined, like a rock, without any hesitation.
Look at the members of the royal family on the high platform.
Fan Xiaowang was dumbfounded, Yelujin was calm, and Renzong was dark.
The Empress Dowager's eyes were slightly rounded, she stared fixedly at Zhan Zhao for a while, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "Give me a marriage?"
"Please grant the Queen Mother!" Zhan Zhao kowtowed.
"Zhan Zhao!" Renzong couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up and shouted, "Could it be that you forgot that Jin Qian was guilty of bullying the emperor, and your request for marriage at this time is no different from asking for death!"
"Zhan Zhao knows!" The red-clothed young man's black eyes were radiant, and a gentle smile that was as bright as the moonlight burst out, "For Jinqian, Zhan Zhao will die with no regrets!"
A hall of tranquility.
Everyone in the hall stopped breathing at the same time, and their hearts stopped beating for half a beat.
thump!thump! !
Thump Thump Thump Thump Thump! !
The violent heartbeat was deafening, making Jin Qian tremble all over.
In a blank mind, only that clear voice repeats infinitely like an echo from overseas...Repeat, repeat...
Don't regret it even if you die!
For Jinqian, even if you die, you will not regret it!
"hiss!"
There were several sounds of gasping for breath, but seeing all the maids in the palace blushing, unexpectedly a few palace maids and eunuchs groaned...and fainted...
Renzong let out a long sigh and sat down with a plop, his face full of despair.
The queen mother smiled, and looked at the emperor beside her: "Emperor, how is it?"
Renzong raised his head and smiled bitterly: "My mother's eyes are as bright as torches, I feel ashamed."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
What does the emperor mean by these words?
"Hahaha, the Ai family has long said that Captain Jin is a woman, but you just don't believe it, the emperor, and the Ai family also said that Zhan Huwei will live and die with Captain Jin, but you still don't believe it, the emperor, you have to fight with the Ai family. Bet, now, you have lost!" The queen mother was very happy.
Renzong shook his head and chuckled, "I'm so convinced!"
The crowd was stunned.
Jin Qian's body flickered, and his brain cells recovered from the shock just now, and they began to work rapidly.
So, the Empress Dowager's words mean...
Today's show is a funny bet between the queen mother and the emperor...
No! Hey!
Almost scared us out of a heart attack!
At the same time, everyone who wanted to understand the reason together with Jin Qian immediately became embarrassing and energetic.
The queen mother smiled kindly and nodded to Fan Ronghua beside her.
Fan Ronghua got up immediately, took out a volume of imperial decree from the wide sleeves of his toga, snapped it=·1235, and raised his voice: "Kaifeng Prefecture Jinqianjin Xiaowei accepts the decree!"
"Jin, Jinqian accept the order!"
Jin Qian's whole body trembled, and he kowtowed immediately.
"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Although she is a woman, Jin Qian, the sixth-rank school lieutenant of the Kaifeng Mansion, has a heart for the world and is utterly loyal. Since she served under the Kaifeng Mansion, she has devoted herself to her duties and made outstanding achievements repeatedly. She is indeed a model for the people of the world. Jinqian is now granted the title of 'The First Female Guard of the Great Song Dynasty', a fourth-rank official title, five hundred rewards, ten boxes of treasures, a book of kindness, and hope that Erying will be loyal to the country. This is my honor!"
After reading the imperial decree, the whole hall was shocked.
Not only has the crime of deceiving the emperor been forgiven, but she has also been awarded the fourth rank, and even won the honor of "the first female guard of the Song Dynasty".
"Long, long live, long live, long live!"
Jin Qian received the imperial edict with trembling arms, completely dumbfounded.
All I can think of is this sentence:
Get promoted, get rich, have both fame and fortune, and reach the pinnacle of life!
"Congratulations, Golden Guard!"
I don't know who it was, and shouted.
Immediately, the whole hall became lively, and everyone happily congratulated Jin Qian.
Jin Qian was in the wave of congratulations and praise from the crowd, and looked closely at the red-clothed guard beside him, grinning his mouth to the roots of his ears: "Master Zhan, this subordinate is now a fourth-rank guard, Mr. Zhan, that's great! alright!!"
Zhan Zhao looked at Jin Qian quietly, with a clear smile on his handsome face, but there was a trace of desolation faintly in his black eyes.
"Well, cough!" The Empress Dowager suddenly cleared her throat.
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
The queen mother smiled and looked at Renzong: "Did the emperor forget something?"
"Ahem, I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten!" Renzong laughed dryly, cleared his throat, "Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian accepted the order—"
Eh?besides?Don't you want to give a house and a car?
Jin Qian knelt down with surprise on his face.
Zhan Zhao's black eyes flashed, and he kowtowed respectfully.
Renzong looked at the two people in the hall, and smiled slightly: "The third-rank guard Zhan Zhao with a knife in the imperial court is of noble character and loyal to the country, and the fourth-rank guard Jin Qian is loyal, brave, benevolent and righteous, and a heroine. I decree to give you a marriage, and I hope that you two will grow old together, with one heart and one mind, and be loyal to the country together, so don't let me down."
Nani? !
Jin Qian raised his head suddenly, his eyes round and narrow.
Marriage?
Why do you still want to marry? !Now that we don't have the death penalty of deceiving the emperor, we don't need marriages at all!
"Zhan Zhao accepts the decree, long live my emperor Xie, long live, long live!"
Forehead?
no!Wait a moment!
Mr. Zhan, don't accept the order first, you have accepted the order, so what's wrong with Fifth Master Bai?
Don't we want to become the mistress between Mr. Zhan and Master Bai? !
What a joke!
Jin Qian's narrow eyes were sharp, he stood up suddenly, and opened his mouth to shout: "Report to the emperor, my subordinates..."
"Give me another mansion, named Guard Mansion!" Renzong suddenly raised his eyebrows and said again.
Mansion?villa? !
Jin Qian shook his head.
Zhan Zhao's brow twitched, and he had a bad premonition instantly.
"Give another 500 taels of gold!" Renzong added with a ticked corner of his mouth.
gold!gold! !
Jin Qian's mouth opened wide, and his narrow eyes shone brightly.
Zhan Zhao stared at Jin Qian suddenly.
"Add ten boxes of jewels!" Renzong smiled even more.
jewelry!jewelry! !jewelry! ! !
Zhan Zhao's face turned black.
"Give another thousand taels of silver!"
Silver silver silver silver silver! !
Jin Qian swallowed wildly.
A vein popped out of Zhan Zhao's forehead.
Renzong looked at Jinqian's handsome red-clothed guard whose face was as dark as Lord Bao's, and laughed so hard that his intestines were knotted: "Jinqian, still don't accept the order?"
"Yes! Jinqian accepts the order! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Jin Qian's face was full of light, and he suddenly kowtowed and shouted.
The entire Golden Palace fell silent.
then……
"Pfft!" The Queen Mother laughed out loud.
Fan Ronghua supported his forehead, Yelujin shook his head and smiled lightly,
"Hahahaha..." Renzong clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Very good! Very good!"
The emperor was so happy that everyone who had been holding back for a long time finally couldn't hold back, and they all burst out laughing.
"My God, people say Captain Jin is a money fanatic, but I still don't believe it. Now that I see him, his reputation is really well-deserved!"
"Hey, look at Zhan Zhao's face..."
"The old man laughed so hard, hahahaha..."
Amidst the laughter, Mr. Bao's black face showed satisfaction, he looked at Mr. Gongsun and Yan Chasan, Mr. Gongsun smiled with his beard, and Yan Chasan let out a long breath.
Bai Yutang quietly looked at the two people in the hall for a long time, then gently closed his eyes, and a smile as light as a cloud appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In Zhan Zhao's dark eyes, the spring light streamed intoxicatingly, but the whole body could not restrain a trace of chill, all focused on Jin Qian's body, it was really a combination of ice and fire, extremely complicated.
As for Jin Qian, his whole head was buried on the ground, and he didn't even dare to lift it up halfway, because he was as stiff as a stone due to excessive shock.
What did we just do?
Accept order? !
Accepted the imperial decree of marriage? !
Received the imperial decree from Master He Zhan to bestow marriage? !
NO! !
-
Zhan Zhao, the third-rank imperial guard with a sword, was bestowed a marriage by the emperor!
This news was like a huge bomb, which immediately caused an uproar in Bianjing, Kaifeng.
It is said that upon hearing this news, [-]% of the ladies in Bianjing City who had not left the pavilion cried and fainted in the Xiulou;
On the other hand, the girls from common people's homes were relatively calm... um... so calm that they secretly organized a team to assassinate Zhan Zhao's fiancée who was given a marriage.
As for the bachelors in Bianjing City, [-]% of them were overjoyed, bowing down to heaven and earth, celebrating the disappearance of their biggest rival in love, and the remaining [-]%... It is said that they fainted in the hut...
Of course, the above gossip is not enough.
In fact, the focus of attention of millions of people in Bianjing, Kaifeng is...
Who is the woman whom the emperor bestowed marriage to Mr. Zhan?
The amazing thing is that although the news of Mr. Zhan being granted a marriage has been released for several days, the identity of the woman has been kept secret, which is very mysterious.
There is no official news, but there are a lot of folk gossip, and there are all kinds of wonderful storytelling stories with twists and turns: there is Zhan Yumao, the princess of Liao Kingdom, the imperial garden, love at first sight, Tianleidihuo version; When dragons meet and flirt;
There is a version of Nanxia Jianghu Heroes Fighting Demon Cult Heroes to Save the Beauty with a Body;
For a while, there were different opinions and gossip in the streets.
-
Dongyang is smeared with gold, and the sun is long.
After noon, in the market outside Donghua Gate in Bianjing, the rush hour for the market has passed. Many small merchants either find a place to take a nap, or gather at the tea stand in the center of the market to listen to storytelling jokes.
Today, we are talking about the latest episode of "Southern Chivalrous Love Determines the Rivers and Lakes": "Martial Competition Determines Marriage".
"It's said that the chivalrous girl was wearing an embroidered scarlet jacket, a pleated pleated skirt, and a five-color silk handkerchief on her head, making her look even more charming and graceful. Master Zhan stood still, said "please", and then opened his arms , fighting in one place. But when swords come and go, they are all sharp..."
Mr. Storyteller is a gentleman over forty years old, with three clean beards and good facial features, but he is obviously not good at this kind of jokes about Jianghu opera. The thirty or so people who wrote the book were all yawning and drowsy.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Xun, don't talk about it, we're going to fall asleep." A burly man yawned and said, it was Zhu Dazhuang who sold pork on the street.
"That's right, the first few times were okay, but the further you get to the back, the more dull the sound, and it makes people feel sleepy." A woman in an embroidered jacket beside her sighed, she was the proprietress of Nan's steamed stuffed bun shop Nan Sanniang.
Mr. Xun, the storyteller, turned dark, stopped reading, and said with a long sigh: "Forget it, Xun also thinks it's very boring."
"Come, come, Mr. Xun, come and sit down and have a sip of tea. After talking about it for a long time, I think his mouth is dry." The chubby Shopkeeper Su of Jinxiu Cloth Shop cheerfully patted the seat next to him, and greeted him.
Mr. Xun did not refuse, turned around and sat next to shopkeeper Su to drink tea.
"Hey, let me say Mr. Xun, the storytelling jokes you mentioned before, such as five rats making trouble in Tokyo, catching ghosts in Kaifeng Mansion, royal cats fighting against golden fur mice, aren't they all good? Why do you listen to this passage this time? Why is it so awkward?" Zhu Dazhuang asked.
"That's not bad!" Nan Sanniang rolled her eyes and said, "You haven't heard those jokes about Mrs. Zhan meeting his daughter late at night, and Nan Xia's love for the Imperial Garden. It's too horrible to listen to!"
"That's it!"
"What's that all about?"
"It's so nonsense!"
More than 30 people sitting around the tea stall and listening to the book nodded in agreement.
"Oh, can that be compared?" Mr. Xun sighed, "The jokes in the past were all written by Captain Jin, and all of them are excellent. But now, I don't know where it came from. , It’s simply... well, don’t say that it sounds uncomfortable to you, Xun also feels uncomfortable when he talks about it!”
"I also feel bad." Shopkeeper Su added a sip of tea to Mr. Xun, "Who do you think Mr. Zhan is? He is a dignified imperial guard, one of the best figures in the world, how could he do something like a daughter of an official at a night party?" Can't wait for the whereabouts of the influx?"
"The one who fell in love with the princess at first sight, ouch, just look like Mr. Zhan, unless the princess looks so beautiful, how can you make Mrs. Zhan fall in love at first sight?!" Nan Sanniang said with a look of disdain.
"Hey, if the princess looks as good-looking as Bai Wuye, maybe it's still possible." Zhu Dazhuang touched his chin and said.
As soon as this remark came out, everyone burst into laughter.
"Hey, old Zhu, if Fifth Master Bai listens to this, you will feel better!"
"Fifth Bai will definitely sell your head and your pig's head together."
"Hey, I'm just talking casually. Everyone listens to it and it's over, but please don't spread it!" Zhu Dazhuang was anxious and sweated.
The crowd laughed again.
"According to Xun, neither the princess nor the official daughter is a good match for Mr. Zhan." Mr. Xun expressed his opinion, "Mr. Zhan was born in the Jianghu, and then joined the Kaifeng mansion. He lived a life of licking blood with knives. Those who are weak How can a princess who looks like a flower bone, a daughter, live with Mr. Zhan?!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone agreed.
"Mr. Xun is right."
"That's why I said a long time ago that the object of the emperor's marriage is definitely not a princess daughter, and it's useless!"
"Tch, that was a marriage bestowed by the emperor, who knows who it was given to!"
"In my opinion, it's better to give Mr. Zhan a chivalrous woman from the Jianghu. A Jianghu man and a Jianghu man are a perfect match."
"What do you know, Mr. Zhan is now a third-rank official, and the Jianghu and the officials have never dealt with each other, so he must not be a Jianghu chivalrous woman!"
"In that case, maybe she really is a princess!"
"I think it's the official daughter!"
"Princess!"
"The heroine!"
"Miss!"
As everyone talked, they divided into different factions and quarreled.
Seeing that the debate was about to escalate, Mr. Xun suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "I think Mr. Yizhan's temperament must be matched with someone with a sharp personality, so that it can last in the long run."
"Mr. Xun is right. It's best if you can learn martial arts and sing along with Mrs. Zhan." Shopkeeper Su nodded and said, "Also, Mr. Zhan catches thieves and murderers every day, so it is inevitable that he will suffer some skin trauma. If Mrs. Zhan It would be better if you have some medical skills.”
"Hahaha, shopkeeper Su, are you talking about Mr. Gongsun?" Nan Sanniang laughed.
Shopkeeper Su's face darkened.
"If you say that, Mr. Zhan's daughter-in-law must also know martial arts, medicine, and a sharp personality, then simply add one more thing, and work in Kaifeng Mansion just like Mr. Zhan, wouldn't that be a perfect match?" Nan San Niang said teasingly.
"Eh? Wait a minute, the person you're talking about sounds familiar to me!" Zhu Dazhuang suddenly called out.
Everyone looked at Zhu Dazhuang, especially Mr. Xun, shopkeeper Su and Nan Sanniang, all three pairs of eyes showed a very secret look of expectation.
"This is about Fifth Master Bai!" Zhu Dazhuang slapped his thigh.
The crowd fell.
Mr. Xun, shopkeeper Su and Nan Sanniang supported their foreheads at the same time.
"Hey, old Zhu, why are you talking about fifth master Bai? Don't you have some thoughts about fifth master Bai?!" Everyone laughed.
"Don't talk nonsense! Don't talk nonsense! If Bai Wuye hears this, it will be fatal!" Zhu Dazhuang roared with a red face and neck.
Everyone laughed even worse.
Seeing that this discussion was about to disappear forever, Mr. Xun glanced at Shopkeeper Su and Nan Sanniang beside him, sighed, and said, "Oh, it would be great if Captain Jin was here!"
There was silence all around.
"That's right, if Captain Jin was here, we would have known the news a long time ago." Nan Sanniang said with emotion.
"If Captain Jin was here, the matter of Mr. Zhan's marriage from the Golden Palace would have been compiled into a storytelling book and spread all over Bianjing!" Shopkeeper Su said with a look of discretion.
When everyone heard the words, they all agreed.
"It's strange to say that on weekdays, even if Mr. Zhan has made new clothes and a new pair of sword tassels, Captain Jin can make up three storytellings to talk about it. How come Mr. Zhan was arrested this time?" The bestowal of a marriage is such a big deal, yet Captain Jin didn’t come up with any new jokes?!” Mr. Xun asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"It's not just that there are no new jokes! It's been almost half a month, and I haven't even seen Captain Jin." Zhu Dazhuang sighed, "If Captain Jin doesn't come to bargain, this business won't be fun anymore. ah!"
"Yes, yes!"
"On weekdays, I always racked my brains to think about how to make Captain Jin cut down the price by a few cents. The days are quite busy. Now that Captain Jin is not coming to the market, I suddenly feel empty."
"You are so right, why do you feel that this day is dry!"
As soon as Jinqian was mentioned, there were many spectators around the tea stall, and small vendors also gathered together, discussing it in a hurry, and before they knew it, nearly a hundred people gathered.
"Also, when Mr. Zhan patrols the streets every day, the little girls and daughters-in-law who are watching beside him feel that something is wrong!" Nan Sanniang frowned.
"What's wrong?" Everyone wondered.
"It's just..." Nan Sanniang looked like she wanted to say something but didn't know how to describe it.
"I just feel that there is something missing from Mr. Zhan's side!" A little girl interjected.
"That being said, it's really..."
"There is indeed something missing!"
The crowd of onlookers stopped discussing, and they all thought about this esoteric question together with a preoccupied look: What is missing around Mr. Zhan?
Suddenly, Zhu Dazhuang slapped the table, jumped up and shouted: "I know, it's Captain Jin! Captain Zhan is missing Captain Jin!"
With such a shout, everyone suddenly became enlightened.
"That's right, that's Lieutenant Jin!"
"That's right, that's right! Captain Jin patrols the streets with Mr. Zhan on weekdays! There is one missing suddenly, don't you feel awkward!"
"Go, go, what do you know! Didn't you notice that when Captain Jin is not around, Mr. Zhan's whole body is air-conditioned?"
"That's right, when Colonel Jin was by Mr. Zhan's side, Mr. Zhan always had a smiling face, and when he took a look at his whole body, he was indescribably comfortable."
"I used to be able to take the opportunity of saying hello to Captain Jin to have a chat with Mr. Zhan, but now that Captain Jin is not here, Mr. Zhan walked so fast that he couldn't even catch up..."
"When Xiaowei Jin was here, he often dragged Mr. Zhan to the store to bargain! Although the bargaining was painful, it may be worth the pain to see Mr. Zhan smiling happily."
"Hey, Captain Jin is not here now, Mr. Zhan counted the shops and didn't enter..."
"There is no smiling face..."
"Still walking fast..."
"There are fewer words..."
After chattering, everyone suddenly discovered an astonishing fact.
That is……
Master Zhan without Captain Jin by his side...
It seems that he is not as developed as before...
Mr. Xun drank his tea slowly, looked at the silent crowd, his eyes flashed, and he said: "Speaking of which, Xun has heard some terrible news recently."
"What news?" Shopkeeper Su and Nan Sanniang asked at the same time.
Mr. Xun raised his eyes and scanned the crowd, lowered his voice, with a mysterious expression on his face: "It's just..."
The crowd pricked up their ears.
"That's all, don't talk nonsense!" Mr. Xun suddenly leaned back, as if he would kill him without saying anything.
Everyone exploded with a bang:
"do not!"
"Mr. Xun, this is not a storyteller. Don't say half a sentence and leave half a sentence to make people unable to eat!"
"Quick, quick, Mr. Xun, hurry up and say, don't keep it up!"
Mr. Xun leaned forward, swallowed his saliva, and looked at the crowd: "Xun also heard it, please don't spread it randomly!"
Everyone nodded and swore.
"Absolutely no nonsense!"
"Mr. Xun, don't worry, we are all rotten in our stomachs what you said."
Only then did Mr. Xun nod his head, lowered his expression, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Captain Jin hasn't shown up these days because he committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and was..."
As he spoke, Mr. Xun stroked his neck with his palm.
A dead silence.
"Cut! Nonsense!"
"Lieutenant Jin and Master Bao and Master Zhan just made great contributions in Xiangyang, how is that possible!"
"Who is this, spread the news?! Court death!"
"That's right, Captain Jin is such a good person, how could he commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?!"
Everyone has an expression that you have been deceived, Mr. Xun.
"Crime of deceiving the emperor? What kind of crime of deceiving the emperor?" Nan Sanniang asked a lot.
The surroundings suddenly fell silent again.
Mr. Xun stared wide-eyed: "It is said that it is because the captain of the Jin school disguised herself as a man and pretended to be an official—"
A deadly silence spread among the crowd.
Everyone was dumbfounded and horrified.
"A woman disguised as a man?!"
"impossible!"
"Captain Jin is clearly a boy!"
"Exactly, how does Colonel Jin look like a woman?!"
Everyone shook their heads like rattles.
"You really don't look like a woman?" Shopkeeper Su murmured suddenly.
Everyone was inexplicably silent.
The image of a certain school lieutenant circled in everyone's minds.
She has a slender figure, thick eyebrows and fine eyes, and when she sees silver, her whole body will shine.
"Well, so to speak, Captain Jin seems to have lost some weight..."
"I'm not tall..."
"The waist is very thin..."
"The arms and legs are also quite thin..."
"The eyes are also thin..."
"Speak, the voice..."
Everyone raised their eyes and recalled.
Damn, every time I hear Captain Jin haggling, I'm terrified and just thinking about how to meet the enemy, but I really didn't pay attention——
Captain Jin's voice seems to be a little softer than that of ordinary men...
It's not really a woman disguised as a man, is it? !
This startling question appeared in everyone's mind.
Everyone looked at each other with expressions of horror.
"Women disguised as men?"
"The crime of deceiving the king?"
"The crime of deceiving the emperor is a capital crime!"
Someone yelled, and suddenly everyone turned pale.
"Death, death penalty?!
"No way! Captain Jin is a good man!"
"Lieutenant Jin has done so many good things for our people, he can't die!"
"The little thief robbed my purse last time, and Captain Jin helped me get it back."
"My old daughter is still a matchmaker for Xiaowei Jin!"
"The last time the bully wanted to snatch my daughter-in-law as a concubine, Captain Jin passed by and beat up the bully."
"The last time my rooster flew to the roof and couldn't get up and down, it was Captain Jin who pulled Mr. Zhan to catch the rooster!"
"Last time..."
"Last time—"
"Captain Jin is a good man!"
"So what if it's a girl?"
"Lieutenant Jin has never harmed anyone!"
"Captain Jin can't die!"
Nearly a hundred people on the field fell into the atmosphere of deeply missing Captain Jin, and some of them were soft-hearted and secretly wiped their tears.
Mr. Xun, shopkeeper Su and Nan Sanniang looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths curled up at the same time.
At this moment, a loud shout came from the end of the street:
"The royal list is posted!"
I saw a young man dressed as a clerk running over panting, and shouted loudly: "The emperor's list, the emperor's list is posted!"
"Emperor List?!"
"But there is news about Captain Jin?"
"Captain Jin, are you alright?"
Everyone panicked immediately, and surrounded them with a huff, asking questions in a hurry.
"Ah? Captain Jin?" The guy took a breath, stared at the crowd, and was stunned for a moment before he realized, shaking his head and saying, "There is no Captain Jin anymore!"
"what!"
"My God!"
This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which immediately blasted everyone into mourning.
But the guy smiled: "Lieutenant Jin has become a fourth-rank guard!"
Everyone stared at the buddy.
The clerk was even more happy: "The emperor even personally named the golden guard as 'the first female guard of the Song Dynasty'!"
Everyone stared again.
"Also! The emperor bestowed a marriage on Mr. Zhan and Jin Huwei, and also gave him a guard mansion. He gave a lot of gold, silver and jewels. He said that they will get married on an auspicious day!" the waiter said with a proud face.
"Wow-boom!!"
The whole market suddenly boiled.
"Great, Captain Jin won't die!"
"What are you talking about Captain Jin, it's the guard Jin!"
"It's the number one female guard in Song Dynasty!"
"Yes, yes, the first female guard!"
"Great, great!"
"It turns out that Lord Zhan's marriage partner is Jin Huwei!"
Someone came back to God and sighed.
Everyone fell silent, and then...
"Hello, Golden Guard!"
"It's better than those princesses who can't be touched or seen, Miss Qianjin!"
"It's also better than those chivalrous girls I don't know!"
"The golden guard is the most suitable for supporting the show!"
In the end, because of the foreshadowing of various editions of unreliable "storytelling jokes", and just relaxing from the great panic of "Jin Qian was beheaded for committing a capital crime", all the people accepted the marriage bestowed by the emperor without any obstacles. Showing the facts about Zhao and Jinqian, Mr. Xun and shopkeeper Su wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and at the same time turned their eyes to Nan Sanniang over there.
Nan Sanniang tiptoed to the women's group of older girls and younger daughters-in-law, and listened quietly: "So it's Jinqian."
"Jin Qian's words..."
The girls looked up and recalled how Jin Qian and Zhan Zhao got along:
"Jin Qian, squat for half an hour more tonight!"
"Jin Qian, hang garlic and squat for an hour tonight!"
"Jin Qian, practice two more hours tonight!"
"Jin Qian, patrolling the streets today, why are you being lazy?!"
"Jin Qian!" The air-conditioning shot out——
"Jinqian!!" The cold wind was fierce——
"Jinqian!!!" The whirlwind of Hanche whizzed up——
Damn!I can't be jealous at all!
and……
Do not know why……
The girls exchanged glances with each other.
"Jin Qian doesn't look like a woman at all."
"If Jin Qian and Mr. Zhan are together..."
"Do you think..."
All the girls showed weird smiles in unison:
"In Jinqian's words, it's Cao Ming Cao Ming!"
So, under this indescribable black background atmosphere, someone's status as Mrs. Zhan was strangely accepted...
Nan Sanniang turned her head, pursed her lips and smiled at Mr. Xun and shopkeeper Su who were opposite.
The two on the opposite side let out a big breath at the same time.
At the same time, at the outermost edge of the crowd, a white-faced and beardless little eunuch and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old little Zaoli looked at each other, they turned around at the same time, and ran in opposite directions.
The little eunuch ran all the way back to the Forbidden Palace of the imperial city, and reached the front of the imperial court without any obstacles.
Renzong on the dragon seat was already sitting on pins and needles. When he saw the little eunuch, he hurriedly got up and asked anxiously, "How is it?"
The little eunuch knelt down and kowtowed: "My Majesty, everything is going smoothly according to the plan."
Renzong's complexion relaxed, and he sat down with a plop: "Okay, okay! Pass on the decree, Kaifeng Mansion has made great contributions to the peace of the people, and the whole mansion will be rewarded with one month's salary!"
"Follow the order!" The little eunuch grunted and stood up and retreated.
Renzong sat on the dragon seat,
