Chapter 48
Gao Chen decided to get used to it first, and went to his mother, Princess Qing, to beg for a girl named Yuzi, who was 16 years old this year.She has a pink face and peach cheeks, a fair complexion, a natural sweet face with crooked smiling eyes, and a clever speech, which usually pleases the people around her.

Princess Qing asked privately: "Are you going to take in a housemate first?"

The youngest son has never had a girl in the house, let alone the people in the house. He is about to get married, so it is common sense to find a girl to practice his skills first, so as not to make jokes in front of his wife.

Gao Chen was startled when he heard the words, "No, I'm just..." But he couldn't elaborate on the following words to his mother.

"Okay, okay." Princess Qing thought that the youngest son was embarrassed. It was the first time, so she was a bit thin-skinned, so she changed the topic, "You can use it for whatever you want. If it's not good, I will I'll give you a few better ones, and you can choose all the girls in my house."

Gao Chen's mood sank, and he barely managed a few words before leaving.

At night, he drove out Chu Qi and the others, leaving Yuzi alone.Asked her to serve tea and pour water, serve undressed, and even asked a few gossips casually, "How is mother's diet recently? Did she sleep soundly?"

Yuzi smiled and said: "The princess is very happy because of the marriage of the four princes recently. She eats well and sleeps soundly. She is more energetic than the previous paragraph." Good thing.

Before leaving, the sisters joked in private, "I'm going to be a bride now."

Leaving aside such wild ideas for the time being, just saying that she is a four-bedroom girl, that is a great honor to be proud of.Anyway, the concubine's house is full of talents, no matter how much I mess around, I won't be able to get the position of a first-class girl, so I will be sent out to match someone.

It's better to fight for the first place with the king of the four counties.

Therefore, I was extra cautious, observing words and expressions, lest there were any details not done well, and strived for excellence, even when I put the bed curtain down, I stretched out my hand and quietly pinched the bed hook, not daring to make any movement.

"Come up." Gao Chen looked sternly, looked at the side of the bed, "Sleep here."

Yuzi was stunned for a moment.

It's not that she doesn't want to, but... the good thing came too suddenly, right?Do the kings of the four counties really want to be their maids?Did he fall in love with himself a long time ago, or just find a girl to practice his skills?But no matter what it is, the result is the same for me.

In Yuzi's eyes, there was a sweet smile that couldn't be concealed, and a little shyness. With a "hey", she pushed aside the bed curtain, took off her shoes and climbed up. "Young Lord..." She blushed, and called out a more intimate name, seeing that the other party had not moved, she was ashamed, and slowly stretched out her hand tentatively.

"Take off your clothes." Gao Chen interrupted coldly, seemingly impatiently.

Yuzi was startled, feeling ashamed and frightened, so frightened she quickly undressed, took off her bijia, belt, coat and skirt, leaving only a set of apricot-yellow undershirt and trousers.After all, she was still a young girl, and she really couldn't do that kind of coquettish thing, so she mustered up her courage and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty...will you still take it off?"

"Go to sleep." Gao Chen pulled off the thin quilt and wrapped it around his body, without any intention of further action.

Yuzi didn't know why, but she didn't dare to provoke him.

I had to lie down obediently.

But how could she sleep with that?Staring at a pair of big bright almond eyes, looking at the bed curtain, but not daring to turn over and make any noise at will, waited, waited, waited until he lay stiff all over, but still didn't get what he expected.

Beside him, there was already a slight and even breathing sound.

Yuzi turned her head slowly, she didn't understand, what kind of meaning is it to tell people to take off their clothes and sit next to them, and not to do anything?Maybe it's because the kings of the four counties are shy and restrained?Otherwise, there has never been a girl in his house, let alone a girl in the house.

She kept pumping herself up, inhaling, exhaling, and then stretched out her hand little by little.In the imagination, he tore his clothes first, and then maybe he turned over and pressed himself under him, and then... Then he didn't have to think about it.

—Suddenly she stopped!

what?It was cold, cold, and hard, and it seemed to be very long. She slowly moved up and down, and carefully traced the outline of the thing, as if... It was a long saber.

But how could it be a saber? !She wondered.

The next moment, the cold light came out of its sheath.

Gao Chen pulled out his sharp sword with lightning speed and pointed at Yuzi!In the half-brightness and dim light, his eyes were extremely cold, as if they were stained with a layer of snow-white frost that couldn't be melted away, making one's heart tremble.

Yuzi was stunned for a moment, saw the sharp sword clearly, and exclaimed as if reacting just now, "...ah!!" Then Gao Chen grabbed his clothes and stuffed his mouth. Under his fierce gaze, he was too scared to come out. sound.

Chu Qi heard the commotion outside and shouted, "Fourth County King? What happened?"

Gao Chen woke up completely, without any fuss, directly knocked Yuzi unconscious with the hilt of his sword, and said lightly, "Yuzi knocked over the teacup, it's all right." Then he retracted the sword and looked unconscious Yuzi felt a headache when she thought of the married life she was about to face every night.

June [-]th is suitable for marriage and good luck.

Xianhui was nervous and fell asleep only in the middle of the night yesterday.Nanny Li was afraid that her face would look bad, so she was asking the girl to roll her eye circles. Although she was young and had a good background, she didn't have any dark circles at all.Then the twisted face, makeup, and wedding dress were applied little by little to the bride's standard look, with red lips, white teeth, and black hair like clouds, a little exaggerated but very festive.

Ming Hui helped to look at it, examined it, and said with a smile: "It's fine."

Now, she is already a married woman who will return home in three days, with her hair tied in a bun, she is bright and beautiful with a touch of charm.Satisfied yet reluctant, he looked at the little girl who was about to get married with emotion, "Live a good life."

I hope she won't be trapped by that little bit of love.

Yesterday, I went back to my natal home ahead of schedule, and talked with my mother all day around my younger sister, over and over again, telling her not to think about Lu Jian again.Regardless of whether Lu Jian is good or bad, she is already Gao Chen's person, and if she thinks about it, she can only think about Gao Chen.However, my younger sister has always been smart and sensible, and understands the general situation, so she should understand the stakes.

Mrs. Shen is helping her youngest daughter draw eyebrows, not a real painting, but a wedding custom.

"Mother." Xianhui held her mother in one hand and her sister in the other, and said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will get along well with the king of the four counties." Regarding Lu Jian, I knew how to measure it in my heart, so I shouldn't think about it. Just don't think about it.If you leave this door today, you will be a member of Prince Qing's Mansion and Gao Chen for the rest of your life, so you know how to go.

Shen shi gave her little daughter a hug, "My son, mother can be relieved."

The three of them, the mother and daughter, were fighting against each other, and no one else knew about it.

Only Nanny Li vaguely guessed one or two points, looked at Xianhui and still understood clearly, so naturally she pretended to be confused and didn't say any more.Instead, he smiled and said a few festive words, and then said: "It's almost time, Madam and Auntie, don't be reluctant, return home in three days, there are still days to come."

Only then did Shen reluctantly lead Ming Hui and Grandma Shao out.

Xianhui rested for a while, and then went down to the front hall under the guidance of Xi Niang. Before getting married, the daughter had to kowtow to her parents, listen to their teaching and guidance, and then cry a lot as usual, expressing her reluctance to leave the house.But looking at her, I was so happy that I couldn't cry, so I just howled a few times.

It made everyone laugh.

Xianhui didn't mind either, she was really happy.

Everything went smoothly, the people in the East Courtyard had their own property, the mother and daughter of the Rong family were defeated, the elder sister got married in a good way, and I... also got married in a good way, but I married another person.

She shook her head, interrupting those thoughts that shouldn't be there.

"Xianhui." Chen Shi took her hand and rubbed her hands: "Being someone's daughter-in-law is not as self-willed as when you were a girl in your natal family. When you encounter problems, you have to be patient and calm. If you have troubles in your heart, you can go back to your natal family."

"Hmm." Xian Hui replied with a smile.

Shao Yuanheng's expression was complicated, and his smile was unnatural, "Xianhui, please be happy on the big day, go to Prince Qing's mansion to serve the kings of the four counties well, honor the princes and concubines, and get along with sisters-in-law and aunts in harmony." Then take He picked up a box and handed it over, "This is the makeup that Dad put on for you, keep it well."

Xian Hui thought it was some precious jewelry and didn't care.

When the auspicious time came, he was carried on the sedan chair by his brother.On the way to Prince Qing's mansion, I opened the box and took a look, and couldn't help being stunned.Bank note? !One, two, three, four, five... a total of twenty, one 1000 taels of silver, a total of [-] taels of silver.

Is this the father who wants to mend the father-daughter relationship?To please myself, the princess of the four counties?Can't help but sneer.

What she didn't know was that apart from wanting to make up for the relationship between father and daughter, Shao Yuanheng was also terribly frightened by Gao Chen's sword - the bright red blood and the rolling head made him have nightmares all the time.He was worried that his daughter would be angry with him if the matter of the Rong family was exposed, so after thinking about it, he gave him a generous deposit in advance.

After Xianhui sneered, she was quite satisfied, who would think that money would bite her hand too much?Besides, if you want to go to Prince Qing's Mansion in the future, you will have to spend a lot of money going up and down.

Why is the princess of the Great County still doing well without a child?Isn't it because of the benefits of the Shao family and the money in hand.

Compared with Xianhui's thick private money, what is more eye-catching and dazzling is her dowry.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Prince Qing's Mansion, the sound of crackling firecrackers rang out, and the sound of gongs and drums blared in unison, causing crowds of spectators to crowd and talk about each other.Today is a big day for getting married, and it is important to have a large number of people, so everyone congratulates with joy, so Prince Qing's Mansion is only clearing the way but not the people.

"See? The first dowry of the princesses of the four counties was bestowed by the emperor."

Xianhui smiled when she heard it in the sedan chair.

The emperor's gift was true, it was what the empress consort tried to ask the emperor to ask for. There was only a pair of jade pendants in the huge box, which meant that they were in pairs.But what a face the real dragon emperor has, not to mention a pair of jade pendants, even a piece of white paper, that is also the kindness of the king, and his children and grandchildren will make offerings.

The people outside said again: "The second lift is a gift from the empress."

"Oh, it's incredible."

"The next thirty lifts will be too much." The man didn't know that he was the gangster of Prince Qing's mansion, he knew a lot, and he kept showing off to the people around him, "The princess of the four counties is the adopted daughter of Mrs. Zhen Guo. Right? Mrs. Zhen Guo sent ten dowries, and the second and third wives of the Zhen Guo Mansion also gave ten dowries each."

"My God." Someone exclaimed, "According to this, the first 32 dowries of the concubines of the four counties are all rewards from the nobles, and the latter... ouch, how much dowry is there in total?"

"Don't you know that the Shao family is rich? The dowry and the dowry are all rising. Prince Qing's mansion issued a 120 dowry, so the Shao family will naturally match the 120 dowry. I heard that because the nobles in the palace rewarded 32, the later The dowry had to merge boxes, which were so crowded that they almost couldn’t fit in.”

Xian Hui was amused to hear it in the sedan chair.

However, these words are not false.

Because I married into Prince Qing's Mansion, the dowry must be generous, and the dowry cannot be less than the dowry. Wouldn't it be the Shao family selling their daughter?But for my sister, last time I asked my father for 5 taels of silver, and asked my mother to give 1 taels of money to my sister, which is enough for her to live in the Song family for a lifetime.

"New come in!" Someone sang.

The next moment, the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers became even more piercing, and there were all kinds of congratulations, congratulations, and joyous laughter from the crowd, all together, the surrounding area was buzzing.

Xian Hui's eyes were bright red, her ears were noisy, and her mind was buzzing.

In the end, it was completely under the guidance of Xi Niang, stepping over the brazier, stepping on the celebration, and holding a lucky bottle. Whatever Xi Niang asked, he did, and his brain couldn't keep up with the chaotic and fast rhythm.Even when he was paying homage to Gao Chen, he was in a daze, he couldn't see anyway, he only remembered kneeling three times, and then he was helped into the new house by Xi Niang.

As soon as I sat down, "hula la" flooded into a large number of people making new houses.

"Hurry up, look at the bride." There was a voice from a child, probably specially invited to make a new house, the voice was crisp and clear, "Look at the bride! I want money for the wedding!" One by one, one shouted louder than the other, causing the surrounding People burst into laughter.

"The king of the four counties! The king of the four counties!!" In the noise, an urgent and untimely voice sounded.

There was a slight exclamation from the crowd, and the laughter suddenly stopped.

"The king of the four counties." The surroundings quieted down, and Chu Qi's anxious voice came, "The prince has something to ask you, and I want you to go to the study to talk, everyone is waiting..."

"Chu Qi, why are you so ignorant?!" Gao Chen's voice was low and mellow, with a trace of repressed anger evident in it, "What day is it today?" Quickly said: "I see, I'll be there right away."

Xianhui sat on the bed in a daze, not knowing what was going on outside.

Someone walked towards this side with big strides.

The bright red wedding gown, the bright red boots, and the red hijab blended into one piece.

Gao Chen?Xianhui was worried and wanted to ask him what happened, but he couldn't speak.

"Xianhui." Gao Chen's voice was still calm, but slightly lowered, "If there is no serious matter, my father will never come to me at this time. It must be something urgent." He finally said, "I'll go first. have a look."

Xianhui was anxious to get up.

She was pushed back by Nanny Li, "Sit down, don't talk, before the bride lifts her hijab, she won't talk and get out of bed."

how could this be?Xian Hui was at a loss, and the people who were making new houses around her were also puzzled.

Fortunately, Nanny Li was able to hold her breath and her status was able to control the situation, and said: "Since the prince has urgent matters, and the kings of the four counties have also gone out, let's push back the matter of the bridal chamber. Don't worry, everyone. Go out and rest and wait, and the county prince will make an announcement when he comes back later."

After a while, the people making new houses gradually dispersed.

Nanny Li closed the door and came back to talk, "Don't panic, you have already entered the gate of Prince Qing's mansion and paid homage to the court. This marriage will not go wrong." Worried that she was afraid, she went forward and shook her hand, "It's fine."

Xian Hui was stunned for a moment by the red eyes, and then nodded slightly.

"Father!" Gao Chen has already rushed to Qingfeng Shuixie, and glanced at it. His father is there, his elder brother is there, and the staff of the palace are also there. Everyone has a dignified look.

King Qing looked at his fourth son, who was dressed in a red robe, with a relaxed expression, "You're here."

The prince seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The eyes of the staff were all on Gao Chen.

A counselor stepped forward and said in a hurry: "The [-]-mile rush I just received said that there were Japanese pirates landing in Xinghua and Zhangzhou in southern Fujian, burning, killing and looting, and doing everything. The people on both sides of the strait were deeply affected and displaced. " The voice was filled with righteous indignation, and then it was filled with grief and indignation, "The general soldier of Fujian was shot dead in the water of the Minjiang River by someone..."

Gao Chen's eyes were shocked, "How could this be? Yu Shizhu was born on the water and grew up on the water. He has led the army in southern Fujian for decades, and he has dealt with Japanese pirates dozens of times. Not to mention, the surrounding There are still many soldiers protecting the commander, how could Yu Shizhu be shot and killed by Japanese pirates?"

Another counselor replied: "I was not shot by Japanese pirates, but was killed on the shore with hidden arrows, most of them were enemies."

"Presumptuous!" Gao Chen said angrily, "Who is so indiscriminate between the enemy and the enemy, bringing personal grievances to disrupt the world's family and the country's plans?!"

"The king of the four counties, I don't know who that person is right now, and I can't control who he is for the time being." The counselor said anxiously: "Now that Yu Shizhu is dead, the dragons have no leader, and the whole Fujian is in chaos. Although he has a few good men It's a pity that everyone is not convinced, and the few strands of rope can't be twisted together at all! The Japanese pirates will inevitably become more rampant."
