There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 787 Sweet life with two ladies
Nangong Wan'er looked at the bride.

His expression changed several times.

Turning his head slightly, he saw Princess Lanling shining brightly, and the dancer next to the princess. At first glance, she also looked stunning!

She pursed her lips, and the "competitive" look in her eyes gradually disappeared.

Finally, she remembered the purpose of coming here, her expression was determined, her voice was clear and clear, and she said: "I will convey His Majesty's oral instructions."

Su Xian, Princess Lanling, the prime ministers, and everyone present did not have time to think too much. They all bowed and said: "I will receive the order."

Nangong Wan'er said loudly:
"I have heard that the Taiwei's wife, Mrs. Tang, is gentle, calm, virtuous and virtuous... Therefore, I am specially given the 'Mrs. First Grade Imperial Order' as a reward!"

"One grade of commandment..."

As soon as Nangong Wan'er finished speaking, fierce discussions arose in the inner hall.

There are many prime ministers and high-ranking officials here, and the rank of the prime ministers is only the third rank, and their wives can only be called "ladies" of the third rank at most.

And this girl of the Tang family, at such a young age, was named a first-class imperial concubine by Her Majesty the Queen just because she married Su Xian... She simply reached the sky in one step and flew to the branches to become a phoenix!
Mrs. Gaoming, with a first-class rank, can receive a generous salary from the court every month. Of course, the most important thing is her reputation. This is the honor that many women in the world dream of!
Not to mention the women in the world, even the prime ministers present had to envy her, because from now on, whenever they see Tang Shuwan, they will take the initiative to salute even if they are prime ministers.

Because Tang Shuwan is a first-rank official, they are only a third-rank official... As the saying goes, one level of officialdom kills people, let alone the span of two levels.

However, they can only be envious.

Su Xian is a Taiwei who lives in the first rank, and his wife was named by the edict of the first rank.

This is a court regulation.

I really can't envy this kind of thing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Su Xian and Tang Shuwan thanked each other, the worship ceremony continued.

The eyes of everyone present fell back on them.

Under the help of the matchmaker, a maid brought a basin of warm water and stood in front of Su Xian. The basin of water was clear and transparent, and there was a water ladle made of gourd inside.

The matchmaker laughed, picked up the water ladle, scooped up water, and poured it down from a high place.

Su Xian and Tang Shuwan rolled up their long sleeves together, put their hands under the water ladle, and washed their hands with the water poured by the matchmaker... This ceremony is called the "Fengbo Wo Wash" ceremony.

After washing their hands, the basin was removed. Under the guidance of the matchmaker, Su Xian and Tang Shuwan came to both sides of a small table and sat down on their knees.

At the same time, several maids had already brought several plates of meat, two bowls of white rice, a jug of wine, and two gourds and gourds, which were placed on the small table.

Su Xian and Tang Shuwan moved in unison, picking up chopsticks, eating the meat from the same plate, and then taking a small mouthful of rice... This ritual is called "sharing the prison".

The matchmaker always had a smile on her face. After the two put down their chopsticks, she picked up the jug and poured about a small glass of wine into the two gourds.

It is worth mentioning that the handles of the two gourd scoops are tied with red ribbons.

Su Xian and Tang Shuwan looked at each other in the air. They had a tacit understanding. They each picked up a gourd ladle and drank the wine in one gulp.

Later, the matchmaker took the gourd and scoop from their hands, buckled them together to form a complete gourd, and then used the red ribbon on the handle to wrap the gourd and fix it.

This ceremony is called "Lian Ning Yi Lock".

Together with the previous ritual of "Tong Lao He Xin", together they are the ritual of "Tong Lao He Xin".

Under the command of the matchmaker, several more maids came forward and removed the food and wine from the small table, and then several more maids brought new props——

A pair of scissors and a brocade box.

The matchmaker with a smile on her face used scissors to cut off a strand of hair from Su Xian and Tang Shuwan, then tied the two strands of hair into a "heart-shaped knot" and finally put them into the brocade box.

This is called "the two are united and never separated."

The worship ceremony was more than half over, and Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Tang Shuwan opposite, smiled and extended a hand.

Tang Shuwan was shy and generous, and when she saw this, she stretched out a small hand to hold Su Xian's big hand tightly.

This is called "holding the son's hand and growing old together with the son."

Combined with the above ritual of "tying hair", it is the ritual of "tying hair and holding hands".

At this point in the worship service, it is almost complete.

"Following the Wo wash basin", "Tonglao Hexin", and "tying hair and holding hands" are all ancient rituals with complicated forms. Generally, only families who are not afraid of trouble adopt this kind of ritual.

A few months ago, when Su Xian married Liu Huixiang, he adopted a relatively simple pattern of "one bow to heaven and earth," "two bows to the high hall," and "couple and wife bow to each other."

However, whether it is ancient rituals or worshiping heaven and earth, the last step is the same.

The matchmaker was very happy and shouted loudly:

"Licheng, send it to the bridal chamber!"

"..."

Amidst the sound of firecrackers and jubilation, Su Xian took Tang Shuwan's little hand and sent her to the door of the bridal chamber.

But it's not yet time for the wedding ceremony.

Su Xianfu returned to the inner hall.

At this time, the wedding banquet had already begun. The guests were sitting high, there were so many wines and dishes that the table could not be stacked, people were changing glasses, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere.

As the groom's official, Su Xian took the best man and several carefully selected wine drinkers to toast along the table and greet each guest warmly.

……

Unconsciously.

Two hours passed.

The wedding reception lasted from noon to dusk.

The guests came one after another, turning the wedding banquet into a "flowing table", but Su Xian didn't care, as long as everyone was happy.

Of course, the distinguished guests in the inner hall are all very busy, and it is impossible to stay until dusk.

Nangong Wan'er was the first to leave. She left after the wedding banquet, saying that she was going back to the palace to report to Her Majesty the Empress.

Then came Princess Lanling, the prime ministers and senior officials. After the wedding banquet at noon, they all left one after another.

Su Xian kept seeing guests off, and he was so talkative.

It was not until dusk that he finally felt free. All the distinguished guests who were due to leave had left, and he did not need to see off the remaining guests in person.

Furthermore, the exciting wedding ceremony is coming soon, and he must recharge his batteries.

……

Finally, it was dark.

The drama of "bridal chamber trouble" begins.

Lin Chuan and others were very excited, and they struggled for nearly two quarters of an hour before it was over.

Soon, the entire Hou Mansion fell silent, and faint shouts could be heard in the distance. It was the servants in the mansion picking up the leftovers.

In the corridor in front of the bridal chamber.

Big red lanterns hang high, contrasting with the red silk.

Su Xian was standing in the corridor in a gorgeous red dress. He paused for a moment, endured the excitement in his heart, and finally raised his hand to gently open the door.

Stepping inside, I saw a red light in the house.

It was the pair of big red candles that were burning quietly. The red light brought joy and cast a hazy and shy veil over the entire bridal chamber.

Su Xian closed the door and walked a few steps, finally seeing the bride Tang Shuwan sitting on the wedding bed!
She had a delicate posture, her legs were together, her hands were placed neatly on her legs, her head was slightly lowered, and she did not dare to look at Su Xian who entered the room...

In the bridal chamber, under the red candlelight, Tang Shuwan added infinite beauty.

Su Xian had a few more drinks today and was already slightly tipsy. Coupled with the fact that he was in a dream-like environment, his heart skipped a beat and his brows lit up with joy.

All the cells in the body become active.

He really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times.

As the saying goes, "A long drought brings nectar, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, and the time of nomination for the gold medal" are the four major joyful events in life.

The ancients are not deceived by me.

Suddenly, Su Xian took a closer look and found that Tang Shuwan's hands resting on her legs slowly closed their fingers, and actually grabbed a big fold in the hem of the skirt.

Is she nervous?

Su Xian couldn't help but smile. As a noble lady, no matter how generous you are, at this moment, those who should be shy will still be shy, and those who should be nervous will still be nervous.

He raised his steps and walked straight over.

Tang Shuwan heard the sound of footsteps in her ears, and she became more and more nervous. Even her sharp shoulders trembled slightly. She was really nervous.

"lady."

Su Xian sat directly on the wedding bed, next to Tang Shuwan, and at the same time raised his hand, which naturally rested on her shoulder.

To Su Xian's surprise, he could clearly feel with his hand that Tang Shuwan's shoulders and back were already stiff. The moment he put his hand on her, Tang Shuwan trembled slightly.

"Brother, sit down for a moment while I go get a glass of water..." Tang Shuwan said as she stood up and ran away.

"You still call me your husband's 'World Brother'." Su Xian laughed, grabbed Tang Shuwan who was standing up, and gently pulled her back, and the beautiful bride fell over.

Su Xian hugged her and said with a smile, "Madam, it's time for you to change your words."

Su Xian's smile and his gentle voice made Tang Shuwan relax a little.

She leaned against Su Xian's chest and looked up at that handsome side face. After hesitating several times, she finally changed her tone and shouted softly:

"Husband!"

"That's right!"

Su Xian was overjoyed, and held down Tang Shuwan who wanted to get up, her complexion gradually sank into memory, and said softly:

"Madam, we are finally married. I have finally married you as my husband. From now on, you will be my first wife. We will grow old together and have children together..."

"Madam, do you still remember the first time we met? In fact, that time, I was shocked by Madam. How could there be such a beautiful person in this world!"

"..."

Following Su Xianluo, he talked a lot.

Tang Shuwan finally stopped being nervous.

But Su Xian never let go of her, and the more they hugged her, the closer they got. Tang Shuwan smelled the masculine aura on Su Xian's body, and suddenly thought of the "forbidden books" that Mrs. Chen had forced on her.

Her whole body instantly became weak and weak.

The heartbeat is also very strong.

Unable to resist, Su Xian acted "as he pleased" and became more and more courageous.

However, Su Xian spoke soft and heart-warming words, making her unable to resist and had to be "swallowed" by Su Xian step by step.

until...

In the bridal chamber, the pair of big red candles always emitted a red light, and they did not burn out until late at night.

And the movement in the room gradually disappeared in the second half of the night.

……

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, Su Xian and Tang Shuwan had already gotten up.

The two of them were newlyweds, which was the time when they were inseparable, not to mention that Su Xian also liked to sleep in, so logically he shouldn't get up so early.

Mainly because today is Tang Shuwan's "return home" day.

As a husband, Su Xian naturally needs to accompany him.

After they had freshened up and had breakfast, they set off in a carriage and headed straight to the Tang Mansion.

Arriving at the Tang Mansion, Su Xian received warm hospitality...

Tang Shuwan is married and is already a guest when she returns to the Tang Mansion. In addition, she will not be able to visit her parents' home often in the future. Every time she returns to her parents' home is precious.

So she went to have a family affair with Mrs. Chen, Tang Shujing and her daughter.

After Su Xian dealt with the head of the Tang family and others, he finally came to the courtyard where Tang Ju lived. The two sons-in-law drank tea and chatted about official affairs.

"The governor of Henan Prefecture has been vacant for many days. When will my father-in-law plan to take office?" Su Xian asked.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. In my opinion, today is a good day!" Tang Ju put down his tea cup and looked at Su Xian, who hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't say much.

"today?"

Su Xian was surprised and said: "Today is the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, and the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Why don't my father-in-law wait until after New Year's Eve before taking office?"

"It's boring to be idle at home. It's better to find something to do." After Tang Ju finished explaining, he glanced at Su Xian secretly, showing hesitation.

In fact, what Tang Ju wanted to say was to invite Su Xian to take office with him, and use Su Xian's energy to suppress the Henan government office, so that he could quickly open up the situation.

But Tang Ju always felt embarrassed about this kind of thing.

In the end, he gritted his teeth. If his son-in-law didn't take advantage of him, wouldn't he be taken advantage of?What are you afraid of? Let’s talk about it later.

However, just when he was about to vomit, Su Xian suddenly said:

"It's better to take office earlier...I think it will be no big deal based on the achievements my father-in-law has made in Youzhou. By the way, my father-in-law, what was the specific situation in Youzhou at that time? How did you defeat those tens of thousands of Liao cavalry?"

"Uh……"

Tang Ju almost choked.

But seeing Su Xian's curious and "admiring" face again, his mood instantly rose, and he started talking about the specific situation of the Youzhou War.

It’s really exciting, ups and downs.

After hearing this, Su Xian clapped his hands vigorously and praised:
"My father-in-law is really powerful. Although he has enough divine thunder to help him, if it were anyone else, he would not be able to withstand it no matter how much divine thunder he has!"

"No, no, haha, my virtuous son-in-law is joking."

Tang Ju felt very happy and waved his hands modestly.

Su Xian complimented a few more words, then suddenly changed the topic and suggested:
"By the way, my father-in-law is going to take office today. The Henan government office is a mixed bag, and there is also the government office of the Ministry of Industry... How about my son-in-law accompany him."

"Um……"

Tang Ju's face froze slightly, and finally he gritted his teeth, waved his hands and said with a smile: "I understand the kindness of my good son-in-law. It's just a Henan government office, not a dragon's den or a tiger's den. My good son-in-law doesn't need to worry."

"You really don't need your son-in-law to go with you?"

"No, no, no, it's just a trivial matter as big as sesame seeds and mung beans. There's no need to bother my dear son-in-law."

"That's it, all right."

"..."

Before you know it, the time is approaching noon.

Because Tang Ju was going to take up his post at the Henan Prefectural Government, Su Xian didn't bother him much. He took Tang Shuwan and Ming Lan and boarded the carriage back to the Hou Mansion.

In the carriage, Tang Shuwan kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief. Thinking that she was married and could not stay with her parents to fulfill her filial piety, she cried like a tearful person and couldn't stop crying.

Su Xian hugged her gently, comforted her with gentle words, and promised to invite Tang Ju and Mrs. Chen to stay at the Hou Mansion for a few days from time to time. He also told a few jokes, and Tang Shuwan just broke down in tears and laughed...

Suddenly, Su Xian's expression changed slightly.

Because he remembered that after returning home this time, he would live with the two ladies, Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang!

As the saying goes, three women perform a drama. Will there be conflicts between the two of them?
Or... do it... fight?

Hey... Thinking of the scene of "two women tearing each other's clothes off", Su Xian's whole body was filled with excitement. He was both worried and... looking forward to it!
