Chapter 412 Ten Miles of Red Makeup (The Finale)

Lu Weiyu saw that Lin Xueqi did not care about the occasion, and still acted out of order.

Naturally, he wouldn't choose to confront her here and make my aunt unhappy.

But she was also very emotional.

Being punished for such a long time can't cure her stupid disease, and she still doesn't know how to grow up at the age of 15, which is also difficult for her aunt.

However, I heard that my aunt had already selected a second son from a wealthy family in Xucheng to be her son-in-law through the Wu family in Xucheng.

This son's name is Fang Wenxu, and he is also related to the Wu family's aunt's natal family, so he knows him well.

And he is already twenty, five years older.

It was also engaged since childhood, but the fiancée died of illness last year, so the marriage that was originally planned this year was shelved.

The bride's family didn't have a suitable daughter to take her place, so the marriage was over.

It happened that Fang Wenxu was busy with business again, so the marriage was put on hold for now.

Also before the Double Ninth Festival, Mrs. Lin brought Lin Xueqi back to Xucheng to visit relatives, and Mrs. Wu mentioned this incident.

The two sides met, and Mrs. Lin was very satisfied with Fang Wenxu's conversation and handling of things, so she asked Lin Xueqi to come out and meet.

Lin Xueqi naturally looked reluctant, and rolled her eyes at Fang Wenxu and glared at him.

Unexpectedly, Fang Wenxu laughed it off.

He also said that Lin Xueqi's temperament is a piece of jade in the rough, and she has not yet enlightened, and she will naturally become sensible when she is older.

She didn't care about Lin Xueqi's bad attitude towards him.

Of course, Fang Wenxu wanted to take advantage of the Lin family's relationship to expand his business to the capital and realize his ambition to run a business.

Naturally, he wouldn't care about the temperament of a woman destined to be in the back house.

As long as his conduct is not so bad that it hurts others and is beyond his control, this is not a problem.

As a businessman, he naturally saw the helplessness of Mrs. Lin.

I understand that as a mother, it is because she is too spoiled that she will spoil her children. After marrying into her husband's family, her mother-in-law will no longer spoil her daughter-in-law.

After setting up the rules and suffering a little bit, you will naturally learn to behave.

It is hard not to learn to be smart if you are not as confident in your husband's family as you are in your mother's family.

A noble girl like Lin Xueqi, who is not in the oil and salt, finally got married, and her resistance was futile.

I heard that Lin Xueqi started to cry, make trouble and hang herself when she was in Wu's house.

Fang Wenxu came to see her lively, and said a word.

"No matter which man you like, you have to be clear about the fact that he doesn't want you at all, and now I want you."

"If you are not so stupid that there is no cure, you should understand that from now on, you will not come back to life unless you die immediately."

"Otherwise you rely on me, and I am your heaven."

"If you make me lose my patience, I won't tolerate your nonsense anymore."

"Your future days and the rest of your life will be in my Fang family, but it will not be as easy as living in your capital's General's Mansion."

"Even if you die, you are the ghost of my Fang family. Your Lin family can't support you."

"I also heard that you don't know the rules, and you don't want to learn them. It doesn't matter. Your mother can't teach you. Your mother-in-law will teach you in the future."

"One last warning to you, you'd better please me more in the future."

"Otherwise, I'll take in a few more concubines and let the concubines accompany you to play calculations in the backyard to see how long you can live."

Lin Xueqi was frightened by the harsh words, and stared at Fang Wenxu in disbelief.

The Wu family was outside the house at that time, and they were also shocked by Fang Wenxu's words.

If he hadn't watched Fang Wenxu grow up, he would have known that he was not a womanizer, but he must have the skills to conduct himself in the world.

Otherwise, how could he take over the family business at the age of 16 and still do so well?

On the contrary, his eldest brother is meek and not good at speaking. He manages the account house at home and assists his younger brother in running the business.

The eldest brother is also the next head of the family and has already married a wife.

The eldest sister-in-law is honest and honest, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is good, and the family style is also decent.

Otherwise, the Wu family would not dare to find such a marriage for Lin Xueqi. If the family style is really corrupt in the future, how will they face the Lin family?

Since that time, although Lin Xueqi didn't want to, she didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

Because Mrs. Lin said that the marriage has been decided, and she will get married in the middle of March next year.

After Lin Xueqi returned to the capital, she watched her family prepare a dowry for her, but she seemed to be watching other people's affairs, which had no sense of reality.

But thinking of what Fang Wenxu said, he was so frightened that he dared not speak out.

She finally knew that she was not afraid of the fierceness of her family, it was because they were still spoiling her.

That Fang Wenxu was the one who really knew what to do.

If the future mother-in-law is not easy to get along with, her destination for the rest of her life will really be like being in an ice cave.

When Lu Weiyu played in the south, Lin Xueqi could only embroider while wiping tears at home.

She has no ability to sew a wedding dress for herself.

Fang Wenxu didn't ask her anything, but asked for at least one or two embroidery pictures that could be sold.

Don't let the people in Xucheng laugh at the general's mansion for raising a waste.

Seeing Lu Weiyu appearing in front of him with a happy face today, brother Yunzhang didn't come either.

Lin Xueqi had endured the resentment for so long, and wanted to spread it all on Lu Weiyu.

But her mother's warning reminded her of Fang Wenxu's words, and she wanted to cry immediately, but she didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

Because Fang Wenxu will also come today to make an appointment.

The marriage was arranged in Xucheng, but it is still necessary to come to the capital to hire Yicheng.

Later, Fang Wenxu arrived with the hired team.

Although the Fang family is not a family or a noble family in the capital, they do have roots in Xucheng and are married to the General's Mansion in the capital.

Therefore, this betrothal gift is also very generous.

Of course, the scenery of Xiao Yunzhang's appointment to Lu Weiyu's residence is unparalleled.

Just like when Zeng Mingxia got married, the brothers of the Zeng family fought for their marriage, which was unparalleled.

When Lu Weiyu saw Fang Wenxu, she realized that her stupid cousin had finally promised her kiss, and she was surprised and happy for a while.

Finally, there is someone who can control Lin Xueqi's temper.

If it wasn't so, I'm afraid the Lin family would not dare to marry someone out, so as not to mislead others and harm Lin Xueqi herself.

Under the personal introduction of Mrs. Lin, Fang Wenxu also met with some relatives of the Lin family.

In particular, I met the rumored people from the Wuchang uncle's mansion.

Today came Lu Tianyao, Mrs. Lu, and two children.

Then Lu Weiyu brought all the sisters over.

They haven't experienced the ceremony of Jiji yet, so it's good to come and experience it and join in the fun.

And the Wu family also fell in love with Lu Linglong and wanted to marry her.

But Mrs. Lu said bluntly that the child is still too young, and it would be best to kiss her before she reaches Ji.

In order to avoid professing too early, it is difficult to protect the marriage.

These words were naturally satirizing the Chen family, which made Mrs. Chen look embarrassed and helpless at that time.

If the Wu family really wanted to get married, they would discuss it with Mrs. Lin afterwards.

Among the children of the Wu family, see which one is the most suitable.

After Lin Xueqi's Jiji ceremony.

Lu Weiyu held a rare plum blossom banquet in the mansion.

Invited some noble ladies who had dealt with several times before and were still close to each other to come to the house.

Princess Yunhua and Qi Xun also came.

Yunzhi and the Fifth Prince were also quietly brought here by Xiao Yunzhang from the palace.

The plum blossom banquet that Princess Yunhua often hosts is a variety of plum blossoms that bloom after spring.

The plum blossoms in Bofu are red plums that bloom in winter, and they are the most beautiful in snowy days.

Now that the snow has stopped, the snow accumulation is just right. The red plums and white snow are the best scenery in Bofu Plum Garden.

This is also the only flower banquet held by Lu Weiyu after returning home, and not many people are invited.

In addition to a few aristocratic daughters, there were also a few daughters of the general's family whose invitations were arranged by old general Lin.

On Lu Weiyu's side, only Lu Linglong followed her to learn how to treat guests, and no one else was allowed to come.

In the depths of the plum garden, there is an open pavilion built around the courtyard wall at the end.

Because the forest is big and the children in the family are young, no one is willing to step on a large snow cloud to the Changxuan at the end.

Xiao Yunzhang and Lin Pingzhan usually come to admire the plum blossoms, and they can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery by directly opening the windows on the third floor of the study building.

Naturally, there is no need to travel far to seek scenery.

For the flower banquet this time, Lu Weiyu had already made some preparations, tidying up the open pavilion for guests to use.

The male guests who came were Qi Xun and the three brothers of the Lin family, and there were not many foreign men.

The fifth prince is still young, about the same age as Princess Yunzhi, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.

The open hall is only separated by bamboo curtains, and seats for men and women are set up.

But everyone is barbecued and drinking in the open house, which is different from the flower banquets in other provinces.

However, there are more daughters of the general's family, and the atmosphere is easily stirred up.

The ladies of the aristocratic family didn't like it, but they didn't dare to show it.

After all, this is the eldest daughter of the uncle's family who never hosts or attends banquets, and next year's Princess Chen.

Just the face of being invited is enough for them to show off in front of other noble ladies for a long time in the future.

After this banquet, for two consecutive days, people from my own family and the clan came to admire the plum blossoms and shouted for barbecue.

Before the Chinese New Year, we have already gathered together.

After a few days of such excitement, Lu Weiyu continued to be busy with embroidery.

Until the new year, just like the past few years, it was lively again, except that I didn't go out of the city to disturb the quietness of my ancestors.

Xiao Yunzhang's ancestor worship this year was even more beautiful than in previous years, and the various forces in the palace no longer dared to look at each other coldly.

Because his biological mother entered the ancestral temple with the title of Empress Yuan.

And he, King Chen, even if he is not the crown prince, is like a big stone pressing on Empress Chen's heart.

With King Chen and Empress Dowager, it seemed that Xiao Yunzhang could replace Xiao Yunchen as the crown prince at any time.

However, Xiao Yunzhang was still as casual as ever. After participating in the ancestor worship, he said that the capital was too cold and he wanted to go back to the Hot Spring Villa.

On the same day, I went back to the uncle's house and didn't go out.

Without Lu Weiyu in the hot spring villa, of course it would not be warm.

But those who secretly arranged another round of crazy assassinations as soon as they heard that he was leaving the city were destined to be disappointed.

The hot spring villa is still impenetrable, and the only weak gap is the journey from the city to the villa...

He didn't see Xiao Yunzhang, nor did he see anyone suspected of Xiao Yunzhang.

Bai Bai was calm for two days, and he didn't meet him after two days of freezing, so he had to return to the capital to return to his life.

Only then did the secret forces know that Xiao Yunzhang must have gone to the uncle's mansion again.

Whether it's the Wang's Mansion or the Bo's Mansion, they are all in the capital and not remote.

If the assassination is in the capital, whether it will be successful or not is another matter, but the emperor will definitely know it soon, and I am afraid that all forces will not be able to survive in peace.

Back then, the hunt was almost successful, but Xiao Yunzhang returned to the capital alive.

For two consecutive years, any suspicious forces have been suppressed by the emperor, both openly and secretly.

Not to mention the sudden rise of the Lin family, if not for the acquiescence of the emperor after this incident, how could the Lin family rise?

The emperor's attitude is always very clear.

Now the rise of Xiao Yunzhang and the Qin family is the emperor's best revenge on Empress Chen and the Chen family.

In February, the spring is warm, and Lu Weiyu and Ji Zhili are also very lively.

The old ancestor also returned to the mansion, and the emperor asked the imperial eunuch to send a congratulatory gift.

Just like Xiao Luming's first birthday party in June last year, it was lively and beautiful.

And the glory of the royal family.

On this day, many noble girls came to visit with their mothers, and the backyard was busy for a while.

But Lin Xueqi didn't come.

Or maybe he was afraid that she would lose face if she met Xiao Yunzhang, so he didn't dare to let her come.

On this day, Xiao Yunzhang once again didn't treat himself as a guest, and went to the front yard to entertain guests.

People in the Lu family are no strangers to it.

There is a kind of discussion in the capital, all laughing at the majestic prince who is about to become the son-in-law of the uncle's mansion.

I don't know how to stay in the uncle's mansion day after day before getting married, and don't know...

This kind of talk is naturally Xiao Yunchen's gossip, to smear Xiao Yunzhang and Lu Weiyu.

Xiao Yunzhang did not respond.

Bo Fu also did not respond.

The emperor didn't care about it, and it wasn't until someone in the court impeached Xiao Yunzhang for his disrespect, that the emperor was furious.

Immediately ordered a thorough investigation of who was secretly murdering King Chen and ruining his reputation, and if caught, he would be thrown into the prison and beheaded after autumn.

I was so frightened that these gossips were suddenly silenced whether they were in the court or in the market.

And those people who took the lead in spreading the rumors were also eliminated by Xiao Yunchen as promoters, so as not to leave future troubles.

Now Lu Weiyu and Ji will get married in half a year.

When everyone in the capital was watching the excitement, they no longer dared to talk indiscriminately, for fear of getting into trouble.

Now King Chen is really favored, the emperor covers him all the way.

Not only can he walk sideways in the household department, but he can also walk sideways in the capital.

In March, Lin Xueqi left the cabinet.

Lu Weiyu went to give Tianzhuang a gift, but without revealing her intentions, she gave a hundred gold leaves.

No matter how picky Lin Xueqi was, she couldn't blame others for giving her gold, right?
Of course, today's Lu Weiyu mostly has golden leaves.

Xiao Yunzhang gave her the [-] golden leaves given to him by the emperor as lucky money.

However, Lu Weiyu kept those [-] golden leaves as a dowry.

The ones that were taken out for makeup were the ones I had received in the past.

Lin Xueqi didn't see Xiao Yunzhang's figure when she got on the sedan chair, she put down her hipa with a look of disappointment, and could only get married.

She thought in her heart that as long as brother Yunzhang was willing to come, she would refuse the marriage even if she died.

However, she couldn't see brother Yunzhang even when she died, so she could only marry with hatred.

This spring, because of her Jiji and Lin Xueqi's marriage, Lu Weiyu was unable to travel far.

It was Lu Chengan and the others who went to Yunshan Academy in Yuncheng in late February.

After seeing the environment and atmosphere of studying there, they wanted to study at Yunshan Academy.

It's just that the basic threshold for admission there is children.

They plan to try their skills in the examination room next year, and they have studied for ten years no matter what.

Of course, this trip, they also took the route that Lu Weiyu took twice.

Went to Changshan and Donglingshan, and then went to Bincheng to go north by boat.

Although I was in a hurry after this trip, my wish was fulfilled, and I came back full of vigor and happiness one by one.

On the sixth day of June, Xiao Yunzhang celebrated his birthday with Lu Ming's brother-in-law at the uncle's residence, and Lu Weiyu personally cooked a few dishes.

Little Lu Ming is already able to scoop up rice with a small spoon, and he can clearly call sister and brother-in-law.

After their birthdays, Lu Weiyu counted her dowry list, and everything was almost ready.

Qingfengyuan couldn't put her dowry items, so they were all kept in Yulanyuan.

On the second day of August, the Zeng family came to the capital again.

On the sixth day of August, several great uncles and grandparents from Changshan also arrived.

Several young teenagers and girls were also brought here, and those who got married and had things to do didn't come.

Lu Weiyu hastened to resettle everyone's residence and make arrangements for visiting the capital.

Lin Pingzhan rushed over when he got the news, and helped her take on the task of serving guests.

He, Zeng Mingxia and the brothers and sisters of the Zeng family can all help entertain the people from Changshan.

Don't let her get distracted.

Xiao Yunzhang also invited everyone to the palace as guests, and hosted a banquet in the palace for everyone.

The other courtyards that were used as dowry gifts were also cleared out early.

It was for this day to accommodate the guests, and they all came in handy.

The Qin family was also sent by the emperor to send General Lin to Qin County in Dongling Mountain in two ways: a wedding invitation and an imperial decree.

No one else in the Chen family came, only the grandfather and grandmother came with a few young children who had never been to the capital.

Those who were born in the capital that year were not brought out.

All the properties of the Qin family in the capital were sold back then, and Xiao Yunzhang personally went out of the city to greet them and place them in the palace.

The Lu family got the news, and Lu Tianyao hurriedly came to see him in person, and fixed a date to invite the Qin family to the mansion.

The ancestors also rushed back to show the importance of getting married.

The old couple of the Qin family never thought about entering the palace, nor did the emperor make any further decrees.

Perhaps having to let his first wife die of illness was a mistake that the emperor has regretted so far.

It's also a well-known knot between him and the Qin family, otherwise the Qin family wouldn't be so resolute when they became officials.

But on the day of Xiao Yunzhang's marriage, the emperor still hoped that at least someone from the child's maternal ancestral family would come to witness that the child has now grown up, married and established a career.

This is the expectation of an ordinary father, as well as guilt.

It's just that as an emperor, he can't face the Qin family's father-in-law.

Since the Qin family was proclaimed the Yuan Dynasty, he issued an imperial edict to confer the Qin family's father-in-law as the head of the country and the first-rank hereditary protector of the country.

Empress Chen's father, after the Chen family became the empress, was the rightful head of the country.

But the head of the country, who was personally edicted by the emperor, is obviously more honorable.

This kind of honor, after Xiao Yunzhang got married with the Wuchang uncle's mansion, has been given in place one after another.

If the crown prince hadn't been changed, all officials in the court would have thought that Xiao Yunzhang was the crown prince.

It's a pity that Xiao Yunzhang still hasn't changed much, and he is still the prince of the county king that everyone knows.

On the ninth day of the eighth lunar month, according to the custom, it is necessary to go to the husband's house to make a bed, and this task is completed by the brothers of the female family.

Lu Weiyu only has two younger brothers, and a cousin, and the cousin is a concubine.

Fortunately, in the past few years, everyone has a very good relationship, and the distinction between concubine and concubine is not so obvious.

In the end, the three brothers from the Lin family, brothers Lu Chengan, Lu Xiangyang, and the brothers from the Zeng family and the Bai family all joined.

Instead, Lu Zheng just rode on the horse and took the lead.

When Xiao Yunzhang hired him back then, the generous dowry had already been set up like "ten miles of red makeup".

Now Wuchang Bofu is only going to lay down a bed.

Those furniture, large and small ornaments, gold, silver and jade wares, etc., as well as those things sent by Xiao Yunzhang back then, as well as soft and soft things.

Under the battle of so many brothers, and with the help of the guards, they once again put on a grand occasion with ten miles of red makeup.

The head and horse arrived at the palace, and the team behind was still walking on the street.

This kind of ostentation can make even those who come from wealthy families in the capital.

You can also look at it for a long time and be dumbfounded, and you can say that it has been beautiful for half a year.

On the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, it was finally the day when Lu Weiyu came out of the pavilion.

Everyone was busy going in and out of Qingfeng Courtyard, but Lu Weiyu was sitting in front of the window in a daze in her wedding dress.

The things of the previous life are like the fallen leaves after autumn, going away with the dust.

All the things she has experienced in this life, her efforts have changed her destiny, and many things have become different from her previous life.

She believed that the fate of the uncle's house would also be better, and the future of her and Xiao Yunzhang would also be better.

With the sound of gongs and drums, the sedan chair came to the gate of Bo's mansion.

Today Xiao Yunzhang led the guards and soldiers of the palace to welcome the bride.

The royal brothers will not follow him to greet the relatives, at most go to the palace to drink wedding wine and congratulate.

No matter how lively it is, it is not as good as the affection and warmth of common people's homes.

But how could Xiao Yunzhang care about those?

What he didn't have in the royal family, he got it in the Bofu.

After all, it is a prince who marries a concubine, and some of the rituals are different from those of common people.

The sedan chair brought by Xiao Yunzhang is his prince's ceremonial guard, 16 people walk, and there are ceremonial flags, canopy and so on.

The eunuchs, guards, and maidservants belonging to the palace also came, and there were forbidden soldiers on the streets of the capital to open the way.

After all, today is the day of rest.

The school is on holiday, the court is also closed, and it is another market day.

There are many people who go out, and there are many people who come to see the excitement.

Today Lu Weiyu is dressed in the Princess Luanfeng Robe, wearing a beaded curtain crown and holding a phoenix fan.

She walked out of the door by herself, dragging her Chinese robe to the floor, and walked lightly on the red carpet that was spread all the way from Qingfengyuan to the gate of Bofu.

Say goodbye to the elders with Xiao Yunzhang.

The ancestors were relieved to see her get married in a beautiful way.

Seeing this scenery, Mrs. Lu was also emotional and excited.

But while she is happy for her eldest granddaughter, she will also be happy for the other children in the family.

There is a princess and sister, and their marriage is even easier to talk about.

Mrs. Lu looked at such an ostentatious wedding ceremony, but she was a little worried, could Zheng'er and Ming'er be able to press the sedan chair?

However, Xiao Yunzhang's actions surprised everyone.

He first helped Lu Weiyu get on the chariot and sat down, then he hugged the two brother-in-laws one by one in each hand, and walked onto the chariot.

"My two brothers-in-law! Press the sedan chair for my beloved concubine!"

He was afraid that the people who watched the excitement would not understand, so he yelled out on purpose.

He hugged Xiao Lu Ming in his arms, and Lu Zheng was next to his sister, so that they would not be afraid of falling while sitting on the walking carriage.

The firecrackers blared, and the welcoming team left the uncle's mansion, but they had to advance to the palace to enter the court, to worship the emperor and accept the canonization.

Only the imperial consecration is the daughter-in-law recognized by the royal family.

It is not the glory and formality that ordinary concubines or side concubines can enjoy.

It's not just a marriage decree, you really have the title of Princess Chen, at most it's just the result of approving you as a princess.

With the canonized Concubine Chen, she is eligible to enter the ancestral temple, worship the royal ancestors, and kowtow to the deceased Queen Qin.

This is also the reason why the emperor decided to pursue the Qin family as his queen years ago.

With the title of Empress Yuan, Xiao Yunzhang didn't have to bring his wife to kneel down to empress Chen who was supported by his side concubine.

Empress Chen is at best a stepmother.

In the past, Xiao Yunzhang didn't worship, and naturally he didn't want his daughter-in-law to be controlled by Queen Chen's rules in the future.

When he asked for the protection decree that he would not accept the side concubine and other women, he made an agreement with his good father not to worship the empress Chen.

In order to make this agreement clearer and smoother, the emperor completed the posthumous title early without any delay.

What a good reason for the 12-year reincarnation agreement!
Now seeing this son get married, the emperor is also very relieved.

I only hope that in the future, the young lady who is in charge of the uncle's mansion can help restrain that useless bastard.

After leaving the palace, the two of them boarded their own chariots and went back to the palace to worship.

The old Qin family sat upright in the high hall, watching their grandson Chunfeng proudly marrying his bride, they were also very happy.

And the large group of brothers who sent the wedding came to the palace with the rest of the dowry.

With so many brothers, family brothers, and cousins ​​to marry, and the dowry list that has been read for a long time.

It's not just that the palace is full of joy and excitement.

The ostentation of Lu Weiyu leaving the pavilion is enough to become a good story in the world.

[End of play, curtain call. 】
