I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 56
Logically speaking, since Nacai, Wenming and Naji in the Six Rituals have already been passed, the remaining time for accepting the levy and requesting may have to wait for the auspicious day in the coming year, but for the current Zhuo County Liu family and For the Zheng family in Gaomi, some things had to be moved up the agenda.

After all, Lu Qian has already sent a letter, and Liu Jian's Xiaolian has been promoted to Luoyang, and he will enter Luoyang as an official in the next year. If Liu Jian wants to get married this time, he can only seize the opportunity at the end of the year .

So the time for accepting the levy and asking for it was set.

According to Liu Zhou's and Hu's temperament, their own children's wedding will naturally be a big deal, and the whole county will know about it.

But what never expected was that Zheng Xuan wrote to Liu Zhou, saying that everything about the wedding should be kept simple and must not be too ostentatious.

This is Zheng Daru's only request for this marriage so far.

Seeing that Zheng Xuan's attitude was so firm, Liu Zhou could only follow it helplessly.

But then, he had to face a major problem, and that was the Hu family.

It is almost unacceptable for the Hu family not to make a fuss about their son's wedding, and the Hu family started to lift the house again.

But Liu Zhou was very firm about this matter, even if the woman at home really lifted the roof this time, he would still stand firmly against it.

In the end, the Hu family compromised, and Liu Jian's wedding was easily arranged.

But when the wedding was held as scheduled, Liu Jian knew why Zheng Xuan asked Su Su to make arrangements.

Even if it was handled in a simple and low-key way...the Liu family received more than 550 gifts from officials below the county guard and their apprentices.

Just imagine, if the Liu family is like this, how many congratulations will Zheng Xuan's family receive?

But although there were a lot of gifts, according to Zheng Xuan's request, if the valuable items were sent to the Zheng family, the Liu family would be asked to return them on their behalf.

Hu looked at so many things, but had to go back because of Zheng Xuan's words, and felt very distressed.

He cried and yelled to quit with Liu Zhou in private, but he never imagined that Liu Zhou would be very stubborn this time, and after swearing, Hu would be enlightened and willingly admit defeat.

At critical moments, Liu Zhou is sometimes quite a man.

……

That night, Liu Jian and his new wife were sent to the bridal chamber after completing many wedding ceremonies.

Looking at his wife who was wearing a curtain in front of him, Liu Jian felt a little nervous, even panicked.

The old man's words are like a nightmare, always circling in Liu Jian's mind...

"There is an ugly girl in the family."

"There is an ugly girl in the family."

"There is an ugly girl in the family."

Holding the weighing scale, Liu Jian stood hesitantly in front of his newlywed wife, and stretched out his hand to pick out the red thatch, but when the weighing scale came in front of his wife, he hesitated.

The customs of ancient times are harmful. From the time of getting married to the present, until entering the bridal chamber, I don't know what the wife who will be with me for the rest of my life looks like.

All I know is that her name is Zheng Ci.

But a mule is a horse, and after all, it has to be led out for a walk.

After a challenge, his wife's true face in Lushan was finally revealed.

Liu Jian looked carefully.

How should I put it, tall and thin, with a beautiful face, although it is not the glory of Ji Er, but it has a soft temperament, a good face, elegant and refined.

Although it cannot be called the beauty of the country, it is hoped that she must be a virtuous and wise daughter.

Liu Jian's heart sank all of a sudden, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

Zheng Ci didn't speak, she just took out a fragrant towel from her sleeve, stood up and wiped the sweat from Liu Jian's forehead, and asked with concern, "Are you scared?"

The voice was as soft as spring water, soothing Liu Jian's nervous heart just now.

"Yes, almost not scared..."

Speaking of this, Liu Jian was taken aback suddenly, and he looked at Zheng Ci puzzled.

"Sister, what do you mean by that?"

Before they got married, the two families had checked their birthdays. Zheng Ci was the same age as him, but was three months older than him.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Liu Jian calling sister in private.

Zheng Ci smiled softly, stretched out his hand to help Liu Jian to sit down, and said patiently: "Your Majesty, don't blame me. When my father talked with people outside, he often said that my concubine is ugly. I am used to it. If my concubine's guess is right, Mr. Yan You must have said this when you were engaged to Lang Jun's family in the past, right?"

Liu Jian said with a dry smile: "My sister really knows my father-in-law very well. Yes, my father-in-law did say the same thing in the past. He said, 'there is an ugly girl in the family, will you marry me or not'."

Zheng Ci was also a little embarrassed, she didn't say much, she just got up to pour wine for Liu Jian.

Now that you have entered the bridal chamber, you should drink the wine of carnival.

Liu Jian and the slightly shy Zheng Ci had a drink, and couldn't help being a little curious.

"Since you know that your father-in-law said you were ugly in front of me, why don't you ask me why I married you?"

Zheng Ci took the wine cup from Liu Jian's hand, put it on the table with his own, turned his head, smiled and shook his head at Liu Jian.

"Do not ask."

"Why?"

Zheng Ci sat next to Liu Jian again: "Everything in the past is in the past, and I only know about it. From now on, I will be the wife of the husband and the king, and the king will be the concubine. I will accompany you in honor and disgrace, a good husband, a good wife, and a good wife." , that’s all, why ask so much about the past?”

After Liu Jian heard these words, he was very emotional.

He stretched out his hand to hold Zheng Ci's hand in his hand: "From now on, I will need to work a lot, sister."

This sentence is very laborious and has a deep meaning.

Zheng Ci's face was a little red. Before she came in, she had naturally learned some knowledge of housework from the eldest wife of the family, but she was still a little flustered when the situation came to an end.

"Lang Jun, I will wait for you to sleep peacefully."

After Zheng Ci finished speaking in a low voice, he stretched out his trembling hand to untie Liu Jian's belt.

Liu Jian opened his arms and enjoyed it patiently.

But as time went on, something felt wrong.

Why are you in such a panic?

Looking down, he saw that Zheng Ciji's forehead was sweating slightly, and he was quite flustered.

She wanted to untie Liu Jian's belt, but instead tied Liu Jian's belt even tighter.

This hand is too raw.

Alas, a piece of white paper and a little white rabbit, let's train it well.

Liu Jian sighed lightly, pushed Zheng Ci's hand away with a smile, and said, "Let me do it."

Zheng Ci lowered his head, feeling very ashamed: "Don't blame my husband, I am stupid, I can't even untie my clothes..."

"I don't blame you. If you are too skilled, I won't be happy."

After all, Liu Jian untied his belt very easily, and then went to undress Zheng Ci.

Zheng Ci screamed in fright, subconsciously retreated, but was dragged back by Liu Jian with a smile, and then took off the red robe three times, five times and two times, and his movements were smooth and smooth, all in one go.

……

The next day, Liu Jian slept very late and got up very tired.

It's not that he indulges himself, it's just that Zheng Ci is newly married, has no experience, and is a good child.

The biggest disadvantage of giving birth to melon eggs is that they are afraid of this and that.

Being newlyweds is actually pretty exhausting.

Before he got up, Zheng Ci had already got up.

After Liu Jian got dressed, when he came to the main hall, he saw Zheng Ci holding a pen and writing on the bamboo slips, and there was already a large plate of bamboo slips piled up under her feet.

Liu Jian stepped forward and took a closer look, only to see that Zheng Ci was writing a letter to return the gift for his father Liu Zhou.

Among other things, my wife's handwriting is really beautiful, as soft and beautiful as her person.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

"Lang Jun is awake? There is breakfast on the table."

Zheng Ci hurriedly greeted Liu Jian first, and then said with a smile: "Because of my father, these expensive gifts have to be returned, but if you return the gifts directly, it would be a loss of etiquette. It will not be nice to meet friends from various families in the future."

"As a concubine, I must inform my father-in-law first, and then write a letter to explain the details. Please forgive our Liu family for the difficulties. Your husband will not be inconvenient when interacting with these scholars in the future."

Liu Jian sighed in his heart: This wife of his family is really careful.

Liu Jian said with emotion while drinking porridge: "Sister is really thoughtful, reminds me of my big brother."

Zheng Ci smiled and said: "Your Majesty is talking about Brother Xuande, right? I heard that he was serving as a Pingkou, and he couldn't get away. I didn't see him this time, and I feel very sorry."

Liu Jian smiled: "It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future, sister, we have to pack our bags and go to Luoyang next month. It's not like being at home there, I'm afraid it will make you feel wronged."

Zheng Ci shook his head with a smile, and said in a soft voice: "It's all right. A virtuous woman assists her husband in his official duties. It has been common sense since ancient times. A concubine is not afraid of suffering, but she is afraid that she will not be able to take good care of your husband's daily life. This is the case."
