Invincible son

Chapter 616 615 [Congratulations to the bridegroom]

Zhongshan Hou Mansion, Ruixiang Courtyard.

This place is located in the southeast area of ​​the back house, and it is the yard prepared by Pei Yue for Lin Shuyue.If there is no accident, she will live in this Ruixiang courtyard for the rest of her life.

The courtyard is surrounded by powder walls, green willows hang around, three gatehouses with hanging flowers, and verandahs on all sides.The courtyard is connected with Yonglu Road, decorated with mountains and rocks, and a plaque of "Ruixiang Courtyard" is hung on the five buildings.The environment of the whole courtyard is quiet, the flowers are in full bloom, and they are exquisitely carved. In the backyard, there are racks of roses and Taiping flowers, and there is also a pool.

Stepping into the main hall, you can see a middle hall from a distance, with the inscription "A tree is light and frozen, and the forest is full of fragrant pistils".

The font is strong and powerful. Although it does not have the style of a calligrapher, it has a bold and majestic charm. It is written by Pei Yue himself.In fact, this couplet was also made by him, not only cleverly embedded Lin Shuyue's name, but also compared her to a winter plum blossom proud of snow and cold, so it was named Ruixiangyuan.

After seeing this couplet, Lin Shuyue was not only full of joy, but also more shocked by Pei Yue's talent.

I still remember when we first met in Lingzhou, the two wonderful poems made her happy, and this was the reason for her half-push and half-acceptance later.

"Miss Lin, I guess you haven't had a drop of water in most of the day, so take off your hijab first and have some snacks."

Pei Ning's gentle voice awakened Lin Shuyue from her reverie, and she obediently replied, "Yes, Miss."

The big maid standing next to her stepped forward and carefully removed the hijab.

Looking at her lovely appearance, Pei Ning couldn't help admiring sincerely: "The third brother is very lucky."

Lin Shuyue smiled shyly, "Thank you for your compliment, miss."

Pei Ning said gently: "You don't need to look outside like this, you can just call me Big Sister along with the third brother."

Lin Shuyue was moved, she bowed her head and said, "Yes, big sister."

Pei Ning smiled, turned his head and waved to Liang Yan who was standing beside him.

She took the red sandalwood treasure embedded square box from Liang Yan, and said to Lin Shuyue: "Miss Lin, the third brother has come step by step through hardships, but he has never changed his original intention after being rich. I think you know this better than me. Chengyou call me big sister, this bracelet is a gift I prepared for you, I hope you don't refuse."

Pei Ning opened the box, took out a white jade bracelet that was oval in shape with a single edge of brown, and handed it to Lin Shuyue.

Lin Shuyue was very knowledgeable, and she could tell at a glance that this bracelet was of extraordinary quality, so she said a little nervously: "Sister, this gift is too expensive, and Shuyue can't bear it."

Pei Ning shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "This is not a gift from the heavenly family. If it is true, I would not dare to give it to you. This bracelet was a birthday present I chose myself when I was 12 years old. It barely matches your beautiful appearance."

It was hard for Lin Shuyue to refuse, she took the bracelet carefully, put it on her left wrist, got up and said, "Shuyue thank you, big sister."

Pei Ning got up to accept her gift, and said softly: "The third brother is kind and friendly, but he is too busy. I hope that Miss Lin will be considerate in the future."

Lin Shuyue smiled and said: "Shuyue understands that she will not disappoint the young master."

Pei Ning became more and more satisfied immediately, with a smile in his eyes.

At this moment, a big servant girl came in quickly, saluted and said: "Miss, Lord Hou sent someone to ask Mrs. Lin to go to the front to receive the order."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Pei Ning asked unexpectedly: "Are you sure you want Miss Lin to accept the order?"

The big servant girl bowed her head and said: "Yes, the inner eunuch in the palace brought the imperial edict and instructed Mrs. Lin to accept it."

Pei Ning thought for a while, and then smiled at the nervous Lin Shuyue: "Don't worry, it should be a good thing."

She pointed to a few servant girls and said, "Help Miss Lin put on the hijab, and then lead her to the front to receive the order. It's easy to see on the way, so you must not bump into it."

"Yes, miss." The maids responded in unison.

……

The hall of the front residence of the Hou Mansion was full of guests and the atmosphere was festive.

Although big figures such as Wang Pingzhang, Mo Haoli, and Luo Ting only sent congratulatory gifts but did not stay for meals, and some other important ministers only sent their direct descendants to the banquet, most of the military honored relatives in Beijing still attended the dinner in person. Being there, it can be said that Pei Yue, the new deputy commander of the Beiying, has given enough face.

The banquet had just begun, and the eunuch in the palace came with the imperial decree.

The guests all looked enviously at Pei Yue who was on the main table, secretly guessing that it was His Majesty the Emperor who wanted to award this young dignitary again, and they couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of the world, that a bastard who was in a difficult situation at the beginning could become the leading role today.

In fact, even Pei Yue thought so, but the eunuch didn't announce the decree immediately, but asked Pei Yue to invite Mrs. Lin out.

Pei Yue was curious in his heart. If it were normal, his personal attendant would have given the eunuch a few banknotes and dug out some information from the other party. However, he did nothing today because there was still a person standing next to the eunuch Xuanzhi. A young man with a calm demeanor.

"Today is Marquis Pei's big day, Xiao Ke came to the door empty-handed, I hope Marquis Pei is not to blame."

The young man named Chen An apologized with a smile on his hands.

Pei Yue smiled and said: "Mr. Chen's status is so precious that it is beyond anything. This Marquis really does not dare to post an invitation. Now Mr. Chen has come here, and the humble house is full of splendor. Please stay and have a glass of water and wine."

Chen An replied: "Marquis Pei is very kind, but Xiao Ke dare not bother. One is here today at the order of His Majesty, and the other is to get a closer look at Marquis Pei's demeanor. After the decree is announced later, Xiao Ke has to return to the palace to report. "

Pei Yue was slightly puzzled, wondering why the other party was so hypocritical.

On Xianyun Commentary that day, Chen An stood up to ease the situation for Pei Yue. He had a good impression of the queen's nephew, but he did not fully believe that he was a good person.After all, this person has a special status, so Pei Yue must pay more attention to it, but he didn't expect to hear these words today, and he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do for a while.

Suddenly, four maids carefully helped Lin Shuyue to the hall, Pei Yue stepped forward to take her hand, and then bowed in front of the incense table that had been prepared.

After the edict was announced by the internal supervisor, there was a complete silence in the hall, and soon there were congratulatory and congratulatory voices one after another.

Lin Shuyue was like in a dream, she never thought that the Emperor of Liang would grant herself a child of the seventh rank.

According to the regulations of Daliang, imperial wives are also divided into ranks one to nine, that is, the first rank is the Duke's wife, the second rank is the marquis's wife, the third rank is Shuren, the fourth rank is respectful, the fifth rank is pleasant, and the sixth rank is safe.Qipin Ruren seems to be of low rank, but under normal circumstances only the main wife is eligible to be granted imperial orders.

Although Pei Yue gave Lin Shuyue great respect and courtesy, her status as a concubine cannot be changed, even if she is the concubine of a prince.The imperial decree of Emperor Kaiping not only gave Lin Shuyue the status of a seventh-rank child, but also made her the legal wife of Pei Yue, instead of a wife who sounded nice but had no rights.

Of course Lin Shuyue understood the profound meaning, she couldn't help but shed tears, she couldn't help herself.

Pei Yue sighed softly.

After seeing the undisguised envy and jealousy of the guests, he realized the sophistication of the emperor's hand. However, feeling the slightly trembling wrists of the people around him, he couldn't refuse or refuse.

"Chen Pei Yue, thank Your Majesty Long En."

Pei Yue gave a salute, and then received the imperial decree from the eunuch.

Chen An stepped forward and said with a smile: "The matter has been settled, so Xiao Ke will leave."

Pei Yue was about to test a few words, but when he saw the frightened look in Chen An's eyes, he held the imperial decree in one hand and Chen An's arm in the other, and said with a smile: "Everyone is here, Drink a glass of water and wine before leaving."

Chen An made a gesture to break free from his hand, took this opportunity to say a few words quickly and in a low voice, and then said loudly: "Xiao Ke has to return to the palace to return to his command, please forgive me, Marquis Pei."

Pei Yue let go, and personally sent Chen An and the eunuch out of the Hou Mansion.

The imperial guards in the palace waited outside with their horses. Chen An got on the horse and said to Pei Yue, "Pei Hou, please stay and leave!"

Pei Yue smiled and said goodbye, and he turned back to the house after the figures of the group of people had disappeared at the end of the long street.

There was a sudden icy coldness in his eyes.
