Chapter 358 Wedding

The second level is called the Great Aunt Array, which is composed of seven aunts and eight aunts. When interrogating Chen Qing, they must answer with doggerel. Of course, the key is to satisfy them with the goods in Zheng Ping's red wooden barrel.

The first person to ask was Lu Xiu's aunt, Lu Xiaoqing. She married Liu Zhiyuan, a student of her father's. She is currently a doctor of state studies. If there is no accident, she will be transferred to the Taixue as an official early next year.

Lu Xiaoqing asked in a loud voice: "May I ask the size of the prospective uncle's farm and house? What do you do for a living at home?"

Chen Qingyin said in a poem: "There are four or five thatched huts in the family, two for food and two for leisure, three bridges to cultivate seven acres of land, and chop firewood to sell for money in spare time."

Inside the door was a 'Pfft! Covering his mouth and laughing, this Chen Dutong is still chopping firewood and selling it for money!

Mrs. Xu asked again: "How many brothers are there in the family? How is your aunt's relationship?"

This question itself is not a problem, but it is very special to Chen Qing, so it is not appropriate to ask it at this time.

Chen Qing thought for a long time before he recited a poem: "There was a mother who sewed a skirt, and a father and brother who went up the ridge. Since the tigers and wolves in the north, they sat alone until dawn!"

This poem was really a bit sad, and everyone cast dissatisfied glances at Mrs. Xu. Everyone knew that Chen Qing was alone, and she still wanted to ask this sensitive question.

Mrs. Xu also knew it was wrong to ask, so she could only apologize: "Then don't ask!"

Lu Xiaoqing nodded and said, "Whether a poem is good or not depends on sincerity, my uncle's sincerity!"

Zheng Ping hurried up and threw the mahogany barrel through the back door of the house, "Sincerity is here, be careful not to get hit."

The inside was full of fifty ingots of small silver again, everyone was overjoyed, divided the silver among themselves, and said with a smile: "You are qualified, please come in!"

The last battle has nothing to do with silver, so Zheng Ping doesn't need to go. Chen Qing came to the small building of Lu Xiu. In front of the small building stood a beautiful young lady, about eleven or twelve years old. She was Lu Xiu's half-sister. Lu Wen.

This level is called a marriage proposal. The bride asks questions, the groom answers the questions, and the bride agrees to marry when she is satisfied. Of course, it is usually discussed in advance.
Lu Wen's voice was clear and crisp, and he said with a smile: "My sister has a question and asks my uncle to write a good poem that can impress her. It's not a doggerel. If you want to be my brother-in-law, you have to show your real skills."

There was a pen and paper on the small table next to it. Chen Qing understood what Lu Xiu meant, and he must have asked himself to write "the mountain is full of doubts and there is no way out, the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and another village" again, and it will be considered a pass.

But Chen Qing also knows that deep down in Lu Xiu's heart, she really wants to write another love poem that will move her. The poetry of man.

Chen Qing pondered for a moment, picked up a pen and wrote on the paper:
If life is just like first sight, why is Qiu Feng sadly painting a fan.

A long farewell to Bo Xing Jin Yilang, wishing that day.

Chen Qing changed Nalan Xingde's poem a little, and the meaning was completely different.

Lu Wen took the poem in, ran out after a while and said with a smile: "It's passed, my sister said, if the auspicious time comes, she will definitely get up, please sit down for a while, brother-in-law, drink tea and wait patiently!"

This brother-in-law shouted well, Chen Qing took out a walnut-sized pearl, smiled and handed it to her: "A little gift for you!"

Lu Wen's eyes lit up, and he quickly held it with both hands, the pearl was shining brightly, it was not a pearl, it was actually a pearl ground from precious jade, and it was also very valuable.

She was so happy that she was about to explode, she jumped up and ran upstairs, "Look, my brother-in-law gave me a treasure!"

In the inner hall, Lu Yihao met Chen Qing temporarily, he said with some concern: "Today is your big day, there are some things I didn't want to tell you, but I think it's better to let you know."

"Grandfather, just speak up!"

"About your whereabouts, there was a lot of controversy in the court this morning. The officials originally wanted you to go to Guangnan West Road to quell the Nanman Rebellion, but Zhang Jun, Zhao Ding, Li Hui and several academicians opposed your going to Guangnan. However, Qin Hui and Empress Dowager Wei think that it is most suitable for you to go to Guangnan, and insist on the original plan, and the officials are caught between the two, in a dilemma, and the order has been delayed."

"Has the queen mother blatantly interfered in politics?"

Lu Yihao smiled wryly and said, "It's not uncommon for the empress dowager of the Song Dynasty to be involved in politics. I can see very clearly that the officials used the excuse of honoring the mother, but in fact he was supporting a new imperial power. We call it the Empress Dowager. I'm afraid Zhu Shengfei Soon he will go to Beijing to be the prime minister, and he is the new prime minister recommended by the empress dowager.

This post party cooperates with Qin Hui, it is the main peace faction of the imperial court, against the main battle faction of Zhang Jun and Zhao Ding, otherwise the main peace faction relies on Qin Hui alone, it is still a little weak, and his qualifications are not enough. "

"Who does grandfather think will win?"

"Look at the situation in the northwest! If you can keep Sichuan, you have to go to Guangnan. If you can't keep Sichuan, the officials will definitely resist the Queen Mother's pressure."

Chen Qing nodded, "Li Gang told me that if Sichuan and Shanxi are lost, the Song Dynasty will destroy the country within ten years."

Lu Yihao smiled faintly, "He is still too optimistic. He forgot that there is the Wanyan Nianhan army in Jiangbei. Let me tell you, if Sichuan and Shaanxi are lost, the Song Dynasty will definitely destroy the country within three years. This is already the consensus of the court. The family is also clear about it."

At this time, Lu Jin quickly came to the hall and said, "Father, the auspicious time is coming!"

Lu Yihao nodded and said with a smile to Chen Qing: "Go! Treat my precious granddaughter well, I wish you young couples will be as good as each other, and have a precious son soon!"

Marriage is usually saluted at dusk, so it is called a wedding.

The convoy was walking slowly on the street, and four attendants cleared the way in front, shouting: "Lu's married daughter, please be courteous to the neighbors!"

Both sides were full of onlookers, whispering and discussing, "This is the marriage of Lu Xianggong's granddaughter, what a grand occasion."

"I heard that she is married to Chen Qing, a famous general of the Western Army, who is called Chen Dutong by the Jurchens as a 'human devil'."

The people naturally have steelyards in their hearts, and they are called human demons by the Jurchen, that is, the Bodhisattva of the Han people, the hero who saves the country and the people.

Only people like Qin Hui and Wang Bo would demonize Chen Qing.

Chen Qing followed the carriage on horseback, and people kept shouting, "Congratulations to General Chen on his wedding!"

Chen Qing smiled and cupped his fists in return.

The street was very lively, but inside the carriage was very quiet.

Lu Xiu was wearing a precious yellow gold dress, a green embroidered gold jacket, and a red silk hijab on her head. She straightened her waist and sat quietly in the carriage.

Sitting next to her were Yu Lian and Yu Ying, both of whom were dressed as golden boys and girls. Yu Ying was wearing a men's gown, a leather belt around her waist, and a gauze hat on her head. She put on a little make-up, and her appearance changed. It was impossible to tell that she and Yu Lian were the same. twin sisters.

Yu Lian combed her hair with a double ring bun, wearing a red dress and yellow jacket, her skin was crystal clear and snow white, her pair of beautiful big eyes seemed to be inlaid with two black gemstones, dazzling, she was a stunning little beauty.

Yu Ying was extremely envious. Originally, she could also dress up equally beautifully. Now, in order not to let others recognize them, she smeared her skin a little darker, and drew her eyebrows a little thicker. She looks like a golden boy, but she is clearly a stunned head. Green silly boy.

"Girl, there are many people outside watching us!"

Although it's a bit ostentatious, which bride doesn't like to get married like this?

"You two put down the gauze curtain, people outside have seen us."

"Ah - sneeze!"

A gust of cold wind blew in, Yu Ying couldn't help but sneezed, Yu Lian hurriedly closed the window, now it's winter, the cold wind blows in, the bride should not catch a cold.

The carriage became pitch black, and it was rare to have a moment of silence, but Yu Ying refused to let everyone be quiet, "The New Year will be half a month away, Madam, do you think we will celebrate the New Year in Lin'an?"

Lu Xiu frowned slightly, actually calling her wife?Call yourself old!It sounds the same as Mrs. Xu, but what else is it called Mrs. Xu?Calling elder sister, as if they are not ready yet, calling mistress, looks older, the key point is that they don't have a mother-in-law, they really want to call themselves madam.

"I guess it won't be Chinese New Year, so I should leave Lin'an soon."

Yu Ying sighed, "Hey! I don't know where is our new home?"

At this time, there was the sound of firecrackers outside, beating of gongs and drums, it was very lively, the carriage swayed, and slowly stopped, and arrived at the husband's house.

The car door opened, and several bridesmaids laughed outside the car door and said, "Please get out of the car for the time being, and pay respects to your in-laws before going to salute!"
