A hundred flavors of life

Three days later, Hua Twelve was about to leave Beijing, and Hua Twelve was pressed for time, so he had to act swiftly and resolutely. He returned home after he came out of Jinyi Prison, and told Zhou Miaotong and Beizhai about the matter. Naturally, they were all pleasantly surprised.

After greeting the two women, Hua Twelve asked Pei Lun to take care of the specific matters. Jin Yiwei and Dongchang immediately took action to prepare for the marriage of the adults in the future.

Originally, in this feudal society, before getting married, one had to find a fortune teller to see if the horoscopes matched, and then calculate the auspicious days of the zodiac.

Hua Twelve is about to leave Beijing, thinking that the sooner the better, he has no taboos with the system, and he doesn't pay much attention to the auspicious days of the zodiac, so he intends to ignore this step, but Zhou Miaotong and Beizhai are superstitious. He insisted on finding someone to calculate whether the next day would be an auspicious day, so Lu Jianxing specially found a lot of fortune tellers.

We are going to get married in the future, and Hua Twelve doesn't want to refute the face of the two women because of such a small matter, so he simply wants to play with them. He is the commander of the Jinyiwei, and he said that which day is the auspicious day, which day is auspicious? If the fortune teller dared to say otherwise, he would admit that they were tossing.

That night, a row of a dozen or so fortune tellers were brought to the Flower Hall of the Hou Mansion and stood in front of Hua Shier, Zhou Miaotong and Beizhai.

After the fortune tellers greeted Hua Shier and the two daughters, Lu Jianxing asked the fortune tellers:
"Which one of you will come first!"

A sorceress who appeared to be in her fifties volunteered:

"Old man, come first. The capital is hundreds of miles around. Who doesn't know that I, Ma Daopo, is the Duke's mansion, and this old man is also a guest of honor."

Hua Twelve heard that the old woman called herself 'Ma Daopo', so she couldn't help but look at her more, and asked with a smile:

"Do you know Jia Baoyu who was born with jade in his mouth?"

He just thought it was interesting to ask this question, since this world is not the world of Red Mansions, naturally there can be no Jia family.

Sure enough, Ma Daopo laughed and shook her head: "Master Hou, you are joking. In this world, except Tianjia, who dares to live with jade? As for what kind of precious jade, no matter whether it is real precious jade or fake precious jade, I have never heard of it."

Hua Twelve smiled. The old woman used the word 'dare', but she was a sensible person.

He waved his hand at Lu Jianxing, and the latter immediately took out a piece of red paper, on which were written the birthdays of Shen Lian, Ding Baiying, Zhou Miaotong, and Bei Zhai, handed them over with both hands, and said at the same time:

"Please Daoist lady, please give my adults a good look. If you look well, you will be rewarded!"

Ma Daopo's eyes flashed with joy when she heard that there were many rewards, and after receiving it, she began to count with her fingers, muttering something in her mouth, and she showed joy for a while:
"Congratulations to Lord Hou, congratulations to Lord Hou, the three wives and Lord Hou are a match made in heaven!"

Both Zhou Miaotong and Beizhai were overjoyed, while Hua Shishi just smiled, thinking in his heart that this was a nice and auspicious saying, that the horoscope originally belonged to Shen Lian, so it has nothing to do with him.

But everyone loves to hear good words, Hua Twelve nodded and said: "Well said, thank you!"

Immediately, Jin Yiwei brought a tray with two large ingots of silver on it, both 50 taels of official silver, and Ma Daopo grinned so much that she thanked her repeatedly.

...

The other fortune tellers are so envious and jealous, they should have been the first to recommend themselves just now, so that this old godly woman can benefit for nothing.

While Beizhai was overjoyed, he asked, "Dao, it's an auspicious day in the future, and the wedding is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Are you too anxious?"

Hua Twelve took a look at Bei Zhai. It was impossible for Bei Zhai, an untrained concubine, to speak on such an occasion, especially if there was a foreigner present. This girl would be brilliant if given some sunshine, but this character, ahem. , he really liked it.

When Ma Daopo heard what Bei Zhai said, she immediately misunderstood, thinking that the lady was dissatisfied with this date, and checked the calendar in her heart, and it was indeed not a good day.

Immediately said: "Indeed, as Madam said, everything in the future is inappropriate, and it is not suitable to marry. If you want to be happy and happy, you still have to choose another auspicious day and reschedule a good day!"

As soon as she said this, Bei Zhai immediately shook Hua Twelve's arm and said coquettishly:
"Look, I said that getting married should not be rushed. How can we get married on such an inappropriate day!"

Hua Twelve was sitting lazily at first, but when he heard the sorceress make things difficult for him, he immediately coughed and winked at her:

"Impossible, Dao Po, you are giving me a closer look!"

Hua Twelve thought that what he hinted was clear enough, but he coughed and winked at the same time, but who would have thought that Ma Daopo, who is a shrewd master, would be fascinated at this moment, and said:
"Hou Ye was joking, how can the old woman make mistakes, who doesn't know that the old woman never makes mistakes in calculations."

Hua Twelve smiled a little unkindly, nodded and said, "It's fine, it's fine!"

He beckoned to Lu Jianxing, and pointed to the Jinyiwei Repeating Hand Crossbow on his waist.

Lu Jianxing immediately took off the hand crossbow and raised it with both hands.

Ma Daopo saw that Hua Shier was pointing at her with a hand crossbow, her smile froze immediately, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Hou, Lord Hou, who is this?"

"Don't you say that you are accurate, then you do the calculation, if I will shoot you now, forget it immediately, otherwise go to the jail!"

Ma Daopo's smile was uglier than crying at this time, and after a little calculation in her mind, she opened her mouth and said:

"The Hou Mansion is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and it will be a day of great joy. How could Master Hou see blood at this time? I don't care, Master Hou won't"

Before he finished speaking, Hua Twelve sneered and said, "You miscalculated, you have to wear a red robe when you get married, it's auspicious to see blood!"

After speaking, the trigger was pulled, and a crossbow bolt was nailed to Ma Daopo's foot. The old woman groaned, sat on the ground and began to cry, shouting: "Master Hou, spare me!"

Hua Shishi has no sympathy for this kind of liar at all. How many couples who are in love with concubines are separated by this kind of people, and how many unhappy couples, it is they who say "a perfect match" that they will never be happy. Prison is not too much.

Ma Daopo was dragged down by two Jinyi guards, Hua Twelve turned to Bei Zhai and said, "Look, this is a liar, the calculation is not accurate at all, and this can be believed."

He turned back and asked the remaining dozen or so fortune tellers:
"That's how Ben Hou guessed, um, the day after tomorrow is a good day for marriage, do you think Ben Hou guessed correctly?"

...

More than a dozen fortune tellers kept moving left and right to avoid Hua Twelve's crossbow shaking back and forth at them, and at the same time they all laughed and said:
"Quite, that's too accurate. Master Hou is wise. The day after tomorrow will be an auspicious day. The twelve hours of the day are all good times. No matter when the wives enter the door, they will be rich and powerful. It's like a bird following a phoenix!"

These people all want to understand whether it is auspicious day or not. They don't want to be carried away like Ma Daopo. Besides, they can't guess what the Lord Hou is thinking about auspicious time. Fortunately, they only said twelve. The time is auspicious, and you can get married whenever you want.

Hua Twelve was overjoyed, and threw back the hand crossbow to Lu Jianxing, pointed at these fortune tellers, and said to the surrounding people:

"These are masters, take a look, how accurate the calculation is!"

Whether it was Zhou Miaotong, Beizhai, Jinyiwei, Dongchang Fanzi who were standing guard, or the servant girls who were serving, all of them rolled their eyes in their hearts and said, "Don't you dare?" Those who are not allowed are all disabled!

Hua Twelve waved his big hand: "Reward!"

Two big ingots of 50 taels per person. When these fortune tellers left, they were all happy and said auspicious words.

Hua Twelve turned around, smiled at Zhou Miaotong and Bei Zhai, and said, "Since so many gentlemen say it is an auspicious day, it can be seen that there is a will in the dark, so let's set it on the day after tomorrow!"

Bei Zhai rolled his eyelids: "Our sisters are exhausted, so my husband says that someday will be that day!"

After speaking, he forced Zhou Miaotong to leave.

"Hey"

Hua Twelve pointed at Beizhai from behind: "You said you have to do the math, but now the result is out, what's your attitude? Really, it's a waste of time!"

As he walked away, Beizhai responded, "Yes, you should have listened to your husband a long time ago. You are so busy, why waste your time!"

After speaking, she laughed first, and Zhou Miaotong also laughed.

Hua Twelve felt that he was punched into the empty space, and felt very uncomfortable. He touched his nose, turned his head and smiled and cursed at Lu Jianxing, who couldn't help laughing: "You are laughing, I respect women, otherwise you dare to talk to me like that, beat three times a day." all over."

Lu Jianxing nodded quickly, holding back very hard.

Two days later, the Commander of Jin Yiwei and the twelfth wedding of Xiping Hou Hua, the congratulatory gifts from all the officials piled up all the courtyards of the Hou Mansion, and they were all sent by car.

As early as Hua Twelve attacked the civil servant group, other officials planned to give him gifts, but at that time the capital was in a state of turmoil. Although this guy hinted that others would give him gifts, no one dared to come to his door, fearing that he was fishing for law enforcement.

Now that there is such a happy event as a marriage as a pretext, these officials don't hurry to show their performance.

The dignitaries, civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, even the emperor's relatives rushed to present heavy gifts, hoping that this ruthless commander of Jinyiwei could read them for the sake of their courtesy when he hurt others, and treat them with respect. Open one eye and close one eye, or hold it high and put it lightly.

None of the three brides had a natal family. After the Queen Zhang Yan heard about it, she discussed with Zhu Youxiao. Why don't she come forward and make a marriage with the three girls, and the palace will be the natal family, and the relationship with Mr. Hua will be fine. go one step further.

Zhu Youxiao agreed as soon as he heard it, and said that the queen was thoughtful, and immediately agreed to the matter. On the second day after Hua Shier's engagement date, Zhang Yan recruited three women into the palace, thinking of her sister.

...

So the team to see off the relatives set off directly from the imperial palace and sent them to Shiwangfu Street.

When worshiping the heaven and the earth, one worships the heaven and the earth, and the second worships the high hall. Among the three daughters, Zhou Miaotong and Beizhai have no elders, only Ding Baiying has Lu Wenzhao as a senior brother, but the queen recognizes the third daughter as her younger sister. Zhu Youxiao sat in the high hall and drank tea from the newcomers.

The three daughters were sent to three new houses, and Hua Twelve was drinking in the front hall. There are not many people who can let him accompany drinking in the Ming Dynasty Hall. When Zhu Youxiao and Sun Ge are gone, he will let Wei Zhongxian To help greet the guests, I went into the bridal chamber while it was still early.

It's not that Hua Shier is in a hurry to be beautiful, it's mainly because of the three brides, this thing has to be rushed.

The first one would naturally go into Ding Baiying's room, because this is the wife of the main house.

The two were enemies in the past, and although Lu Wenzhao made the decision on behalf of his father to betroth him to Hua Shishi, he never gave Xiping Hou a good face before they got married.

So Hua Twelve wanted to enter Ding Baiying's bridal chamber, and felt somewhat strange.

At the door of the bridal chamber, Hua Twelve waved back the maid who was waiting in front of the door, then pushed the door open and walked in.

At this moment, I heard a strange sound coming from above my head, and from the corner of my eye, I saw a copper basin with a piece of yellow liquid falling down.

Hua Twelve immediately thought of the scene of him standing on the room and pouring water on Ding Baiying, and thought that on the day of great joy, this girl would not use some filthy things to revenge and disgust him, so that even if she is newly married, she should give some Lesson learned, beating up obediently before getting started.

But suddenly there was a sour smell in his nose, and he was surprised, it was jealousy, it seemed that this girl was still a little sensible, she just wanted a little revenge, and had no plans to make enemies with her husband.

Although he knew it was vinegar, Hua Twelve didn't have the idea of ​​being jealous or being drenched in vinegar. With the blessing of his slow vision and burst secret technique, the falling vinegar was more than ten times slower.

Hua Twelve erupted with the blessing of the secret technique, and walked to the bed in one step, grabbed the prepared Yu Ruyi and picked up the hijab. At this time, the pot of vinegar fell on the ground, and the copper basin made a crashing sound.

But Hua Twelve's attention was attracted by the person under the hijab. Ding Baiying, who used to be cold and aloof, now showed an expression of annoyance and anger just because the scheme failed, and his face was smeared. , with bright red lips, three points of beauty, seven points of sassy, ​​when he stared at her, she was shy and pretty, like a rich flower in the world.

"Dare to plot against your husband, accept the move!"

Hua Twelve let out a sinister grin, and immediately rushed forward. He would do Wei Xiaobao's "grab what kind of dragon claw hand"!
That night, the rain hit the plantain and scored three times.

In the early morning of the next day, a factory guard team of 2000 people set off from the canal to Jinling in three large ships.

Hua Shishi and Ding Baiying in a red robe stood at the bow of the boat, waved to Zhou Miaotong and Beizhai who had come to see them off, and told them to go back, but they couldn't see each other's faces until the boat was far away, and the two figures were still in the factory. Under the protection of the guard, he stood at the pier, looking over here.

Ding Baiying who was beside Hua Twelve Chaos complained:

"Originally, I was going to go on a horse. I only took a boat to take care of you. Otherwise, why would I go through such a scene? Hey, it's just a business trip. It's as if it's parting from life and death. It's uncomfortable!"

Ding Baiying rolled her eyes: "Isn't it because you are like an animal, or if you hurt me, I am the Qi family's army, how can I not be able to ride a horse?"

Hua Shishi hurriedly said in a low voice: "Don't say anything, are you stupid!" He felt that this girl is a bit of a tiger, she needs to be educated well, why dare to say anything outside.

Turning around with some guilt, the factory guard behind him, led by Zheng Zhangban, Pei Lun, Lu Wenzhao, and Lu Jianxing, all looked away, pretending not to hear, but their expressions were a little ferocious, and it was all the hard work of suppressing laughter.

Half a month later, a team of horses headed straight for the gate of Jinling City from the banks of the Qinhuai River. The officers and soldiers guarding the city saw the team of horses galloping forward. Just as they were about to ask questions, one of the cavalry came first and held up their badges and shouted:

"Jinyiwei and Dongchang are working on business, get out!"

Immediately afterwards, a horse team of thousands of people galloped past, and the guards and soldiers trembled, not daring to stop them at all.
