Chapter 203 Happy wedding, you will regret it
There are two big happy events in the capital today.

One is that the emperor married his daughter, marrying his fifteen princesses in a grand manner, and the one he promised was Jian Yan, the only son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry.

The other is also a major event, the emperor personally bestowed a marriage, marrying the Princess Fengyang of Duke Mu's mansion to Zhao Wuyou, Minister of Rites.

Who doesn't know that apart from the name, there is nothing left of the Duke Mu's mansion.Although it is said to be married, it is actually regarded as high-profile, after all, this Zhao Wuyou is the only son of the prime minister's mansion, and now he is the emperor's favored minister, while being a minister of the Ministry of Rites, he is also a young teacher of the prince and a first-rank member of the court.

These two happy events were put together, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard from outside the palace gate to the Prime Minister's Mansion and Shangshu Mansion, including Prince Qi You's Mansion, early in the morning.The princess got married from the palace, while the princess got married from Prince Qi You's mansion, so the current capital city is even more lively than New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, Zhao Wuyou got up and changed her clothes. Although she was not a bride and didn't need those cumbersome buns, it was still necessary to get up early.After all, the entire Shangshu Mansion is busy, and there are some things that you have to keep an eye on.

Suxi and Yunzheng waited on Zhao Wuyou to change his clothes, and the bright red gown was very dazzling.

Yunzheng choked up slightly, "I've never seen you dressed so brightly before, I really don't think I'm used to it!"

"One has to wear it once in one's life." Zhao Wuyou thought, this is not the first time, counting the time with Mu Baili in Pinglin City, it was the first time she wore the big red wedding dress .

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Wuyou suddenly felt a little more balanced, one person wore it twice, it was a tie.

Unknowingly, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Suxi smiled, "I'll go and see how the preparations are going outside."

Zhao Wuyou nodded and sighed helplessly.

Yunzheng stared at Zhao Wuyou in front of her with a slightly stagnant expression, "Young master is dressed so nicely, just like the person walking out of the painting. I hope everything goes well today."

"You just need to keep your own responsibilities well, as for the rest, I know it by myself." Zhao Wuyou said very meaningfully.

"Your servant understands!" Yunzheng took a deep breath, but knelt down to Zhao Wuyou again, "Master, you must be careful, on weekdays—you must take good care of yourself, servant..."

Zhao Wuyou let out a long breath, "Needless to say, I know."

Yunzheng nodded and left the room without saying anything.

The new house is not located in this courtyard, this Tingfeng Building belongs to Zhao Wuyou alone, even if there is Mu Yao, Mrs. Shangshu, it is impossible to come and go freely here.

Tingfenglou is always Zhao Wuyou's Tingfenglou.

Looking at the big red robe on his body, staring at his face in the mirror, Zhao Wuyou thought of Jian Yan.After being separated for so long, his injury should be almost healed, I hope he can know what he is doing.It doesn't matter if this stupidity is real or fake, as long as it can make him feel more at ease, it doesn't matter if he pretends for the rest of his life, anyway, it is impossible for her and him to return to the beginning.

With a light sigh, Zhao Wuyou sat down slowly.

The congratulatory gift has been delivered to Jian's family, which can be regarded as completely breaking up the childhood sweetheart, and from now on, it will be back to the road without any relationship.

When the exquisite brocade box appeared in Jian Yan's hands, he still had a sluggish and infatuated expression on his face, he didn't react at all, he just stared at the things in the box obsessively.

"What is this?" Jian Weizhong didn't understand.

There are many miscellaneous things in this box, among them is a small porcelain bottle, which looks like a bottle of medicine.Jian Weizhong felt very strange, what kind of charade is this Zhao Wuyou playing?He sent back the unconscious Jian Yan earlier to make his son look so stupid, and now he sent this kind of thing over again.

Zhao Wuyou, what exactly do you mean?
Jian Yan didn't speak, just closed the box, and then hugged the box tightly without making a sound.What is in it, the person concerned is naturally the clearest.

Seeing Jian Yan's demeanor, Jian Weizhong sighed softly, "You don't cry or make noise these days. The doctor said that the blood in your body is congested and it will take a while to heal, but I see you getting worse and worse? Son, don't you It doesn't matter what you say, but today is your big day, you have to change into your wedding clothes and go to greet your relatives!"

After speaking, Jian Weizhong beckoned, and the servants quickly stepped forward to wash and change Jian Yan.

It's just that his eyes kept staring at the box, as if it contained the most precious thing in his life.The moment he put on the scarlet wedding gown, he held the box in his arms again, as if he was holding a beloved one, with a slight smile on his lips, and a faint tenderness between his brows and eyes.

Jian Weizhong let out a long sigh, finally helpless.This day of great joy is not suitable for making noise, anyway, it is only this son who is still acting like this, no one can blame him for being inappropriate.That's all, as long as there are no troubles, you can do whatever you like!
Many parties are busy, and everyone is very busy.

Marriage is such a major event in life, of course it should not be sloppy, Xi Niang, Xi Po, and the ceremonies from the palace, one by one coming in and out, busy and happy.

But Mu Baili was not too happy, sitting in the study in the Qiantui Mansion, listening to the sound of firecrackers all day, finally couldn't help it, and anxiously threw the pen and ink in his hand on the desk.The ink smudged, staining layers of white paper.He took a deep breath, walked out of the study door quickly, and stood in the yard to breathe.

Unfortunately, today's weather is very weird, it seems to be specially against him, the clouds are dense, and the cold wind is blowing.

Lu Guoan strode forward to salute, "Master, are you going out? The weather is bad today, I'm afraid it will rain."

Mu Baili squinted at him, "Who said you want to go out?"

"The sound of firecrackers outside is indeed a bit noisy." Lu Guoan apologized and smiled awkwardly.

Mu Baili let out a long breath, "You bastard!" But he didn't know who he was scolding, and he was always unhappy.Although it's a marriage, but when I think of someone in a red wedding gown, standing in the crowd and facing the congratulatory person with joy, I feel uncomfortable no matter how I think about it.

Lu Guoan has not been with Mu Baili for a day or two. Can he still not understand what Lord Qiantui is thinking?This bastard probably wasn't aimed at himself, but at someone who didn't know how to live or die.As for who it is, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom. It is estimated that the thousand-year-old Lord is unhappy and just exploded at random.

"Master, why don't you go back to East Factory, where it's a little quieter." Lu Guoan said in a low voice.

"Isn't the East Factory still in the capital?" Mu Baili didn't say a good word, all the gentleness at this moment has disappeared.He thought, when he got married, didn't someone make a scene too?

and after?
Then we ate meat!
What about later?

Later, he became addicted and became a gentleman on the beam.Mr. Riri came up from the beam, and Yeye never let her go.

Thinking about it this way, I felt even more uncomfortable. For a moment, I wished I could tear that lifeless woman to pieces.get married?get married?What kind of relationship do two women have?

With a helpless sigh, Mu Baili rubbed the center of his brows, feeling a pain in his head, "Forget it, it's none of your business, you just go and watch the Shangshu Mansion, don't make people make trouble and ruin the capital's comprehensiveness. ——Enter the palace to have a look, after all, the emperor is marrying his daughter, this matter is no small matter."

Lu Guoan smiled lowly, his mouth was hard and his heart was soft, because he was afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos and hurt his darling.

However, Lord Qiantui didn't lose his temper, which was considered a blessing among misfortunes. Lu Guoan was thankful, and immediately turned and left.

After leaving the Thousand Years Mansion, Mu Baili still felt restless.After entering the palace, he was still anxious, with a serious face, his face was extremely ugly.So much so that when the people in the palace saw such a nine-thousand-year-old man, they were even more frightened, and no one dared to say anything.

Although the emperor said that he was marrying his daughter, in fact he was a hands-off shopkeeper, sitting there, waiting for the time to come, and the princess came to say goodbye by herself, and then the princess got on the sedan chair and left the palace, and the wedding ceremony was considered complete.

Looking at the fifteenth princess Xiao Rouyu who came out of Yongbi Palace, Mu Baili bowed and saluted, "Send off the princess."

Xiao Rouyu was full of joy. The emperor had mentioned her marriage to Jian Yan earlier, but then she didn't know why it had been shelved.This time, if Mu Baili hadn't brought up the old story again and said that good things come in pairs, maybe she wouldn't have the chance to leave the palace.

She has long been tired of this cold palace.

"Thank you, Lord Qiantui, for making it perfect." Xiao Rouyu saluted.

Mu Baili smiled, "The princess is very lucky, and she is married to the husband she likes. Fortunately, the emperor's benevolence has chosen a good husband for the princess."

No one saw Xiao Rouyu's blushing face through the red hijab.

"It's getting late, don't miss the auspicious time." Mu Baili said with a smile.

Seeing Xiao Rouyu and her party leave the palace, Mu Baili felt a little more at ease.Anyway, I went to Jian Yan, this can be regarded as a strong opponent!After all, it's a childhood sweetheart, so it's not a problem to leave it there all the time, it's considered comprehensive to get rid of it early.

Mu Baili thought about it, this is good, all three are married.This triangle relationship is really a headache!Taking a look at the sky, the banquet in the palace has already started, the emperor sat down in Yongbi Palace and then left, after all, the fifteen princesses are not favored, and the emperor's ability to go through the motions is considered to be full of affection.

So there was no one in the palace, and the ministers rushed to King Qiyou's mansion at noon, and to the two Shangshu's mansions at night.After all, Jian Yan has no official rank, except for some of Jian Weizhong's friends, there is no one there.

But the threshold of Zhao Wuyou's Shangshu Mansion is about to be squeezed.The prime minister's son got married, and the Minister of Rites married the cousin and niece of King Qi You. No matter how you say it, they are more noble than Jian's family.

It's just that the weather today doesn't seem to be very good, and it started to drizzle in the evening.

Fortunately, this did not affect the popularity of the Shangshu Mansion. Zhao Wuyou, dressed in a red wedding gown, kicked the sedan chair door and led his newlywed mother, stepped over the brazier and stepped on the broken tiles, and walked into the gate of the Shangshu Mansion.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhao Wuyou wore a bright red wedding dress, which made her plain white face look as white as jade.She smiled lightly, as if she could not see the slightest bit of displeasure, and like all married men, she seemed to be happy.

But in reality, Zhao Wuyou was just dealing with it!
Through the red hijab, Mu Yao was very happy in her heart. Although she couldn't see Zhao Wuyou's expression clearly, she seemed to be smiling when she heard Zhao Wuyou's voice, so she must be happy too!
She didn't expect that she was really married.

Si Li yelled loudly there, worshiping heaven and earth once, worshiping high hall twice, and husband and wife worshiping each other.

Mu Yao was sent to the bridal chamber, and then Zhao Wuyou continued to deal with it in front. As the groom's official, he couldn't enter the bridal chamber early, after all, his parents-in-law were still sitting there!
This is a major turning point in Mu Yao's life, and it is also a hurdle that every woman must go through.

From a girl to a young woman, from a woman to a woman.

But what Mu Yao didn't know was that with Zhao Wuyou, she was unlikely to experience such a change.

In the front hall, Zhao Wuyou exchanged cups.Of course, she couldn't drink alcohol, so she could only use fruit tea instead of alcohol. After all, everyone knew that Zhao Wuyou was in poor health and couldn't drink alcohol.

Zhao Wuyou couldn't eat anything after a few cups of fruit tea.Earlier, he drank the medicinal soup given by Wen Gu, and now he was so weak that he had no choice but to take a break and sit in a secluded place in the yard.

Yang Jinzhi looked at Zhao Song with a pale complexion, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Song, I'll go and see Wuyou."

Zhao Song naturally also knew that Zhao Wuyou's health was not good, he was really tired today, he probably couldn't bear it anymore, so he nodded and allowed Yang Jinzhi to leave.After Yang Jinzhi left, Zhao Song winked at Chen Ping who was beside him.

Of course Chen Ping knew what Zhao Song meant, and immediately followed Yang Jinzhi quietly.

The whole Shangshu Mansion was full of hustle and bustle, Yang Jinzhi thought that his daughter would not like such a noisy place, and would definitely find a place with no one to rest for a while.

Yang Jinzhi tried his best to go to a secluded place, but he saw Zhao Wuyou sitting in the darkness not far away, resting against the pillar of the porch.There was another man who seemed to be talking to her beside her. She had seen that man before. He was a doctor who came to Yun'an Temple that day. His name was Wen Gu.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Yang Jinzhi walked over slowly.

Suxi stepped forward and saluted Yang Jinzhi, "Ma'am." Then she lowered her voice, "There is a tail!"

Hearing this, Yang Jinzhi stopped in his tracks, and immediately stood there without moving.

Suxi straightened up and said with a smile, "Madam tired? You can go to the guest room for a rest, and the humble will tell you."

Yang Jinzhi nodded, and looked worriedly at Zhao Wuyou not far away.

There are too many people here, so it's really not suitable for talking, so Su Xi thought well.Yang Jinzhi still knew something when she was sober, and Suxi knew that Zhao Song had someone follow her after Suxi said this.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Jinzhi went to wait in the guest room, and Zhao Wuyou also entered the room after a while.

"Mother!" Seeing his mother, Zhao Wuyou was naturally happy.

The mother in the candlelight has a gentle smile.Zhao Wuyou's loving face has never changed in Zhao Wuyou's memory.It's just that the mother's hair on the sideburns has turned gray at some point, and it will never look the same again.

Zhao Wuyou was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously stared at his mother's hair on the sideburns, his eyes slightly hurt, "Why is mother's hair gray?"

"Mother is old." Yang Jinzhi smiled, "Mother is not old, mother's acacia will not grow up. Only when mother is old, Acacia can grow independently, and can-" She paused, caressing her pale daughter reluctantly cheek, "Acacia, even thinner."

Zhao Wuyou smiled, "Mother always says I've lost weight, but look where I've lost weight? Hehuan is still the same, and so is Mother."

Yang Jinzhi gently hugged his daughter, "Does Hehuan remember what mother was like before?"

"Mother is in Hehuan's heart, and it has never changed." Zhao Wuyou said with a smile, "It's so good, how can mother say these words? Mother, today is a good day for Hehuan, you should be happy."

Helping his mother to sit down, Zhao Wuyou looked extremely happy, "As long as there is mother by my side, Hehuan is not afraid of anything, and can handle anything. Mother, Hehuan grows up, and can protect his family and his dearest ones." People. After a while, when the government is stable, He Huan will take her back and live with me in the Shangshu Mansion."

"Mother said she doesn't like pear blossoms, so I will plant her favorite flowers behind the Tingfeng Building. Mother likes peonies, so I will go to Luoyang to pick out the best peony varieties, and the flowers will be the most beautiful when the time comes. "

Yang Jinzhi chuckled, "The most beautiful flower my mother has planted in her life is her acacia. With acacia, my mother doesn't need anything." Holding her daughter's cold hand, Yang Jinzhi's eyes filled with tears, "Acacia's Hands are still so cold."

Zhao Wuyou was slightly taken aback, "Mother?"

"Mother has a lot of helplessness, and she can't help herself." Yang Jinzhi said to himself, "but people's hearts are fleshy. Mother can't be so selfish and let Hehuan be held hostage all his life and not be free. Mother's Hehuan is so beautiful and smart. , should be as pure white and clean as the pear blossoms on the tree, and should bloom in the spring, on the highest treetops, instead of being crushed into mud."

"Mother, stop talking." Zhao Wuyou hurriedly said, "Is there something wrong with you? I'll ask Wen Gu to show you. You wait here for me."

Yang Jinzhi quickly grabbed Wuyou, "Don't go, Hehuan, listen to what mother has to say. Mother wanted to tell you what she was holding back, but she didn't know where to start, and now she has to say it. After tonight, He Huan will be an adult, no longer a child. Those who start a family should shoulder their own burdens and have their own family and country."

Zhao Wuyou frowned, looking at his mother worriedly.

Mother's mental state has not been very good, so Zhao Wuyou didn't take it to heart.She has seen her mother look crazy, so it's not surprising that she looks like this.

Yang Jinzhi let out a long breath, "Hehuan, you must keep in mind what mother said tonight. Once mother leaves this time, she may never come back again. Hehuan must live on alone. Without mother He Huan is already used to being around, and I have to keep getting used to it in the future."

"Also, if you meet Wuji, don't be merciless. He is just like your father, he is a cruel and merciless person. I don't have any hope for them, but Acacia is all my mother's hope. Leave the good ones to Hehuan."

"Be careful about matters in the court, and don't leave them to your father too honestly. I have been married for more than 20 years, and I know too well what kind of person your father is. He is influenced by power and interests, and turns a living person into a Ghost. He Huan, if one day he can get away, those fame and fortune will go with the wind!"

"If you meet someone you love in the future, you must tell mother to make mother happy. What mother wants to see most is the appearance of Hehuan in her wedding dress. Do you know that ever since Hehuan was going to marry a wife, mother How sad is it?"

"When I was feeling uncomfortable, my mother asked Huiling to help her go down the mountain to buy some materials, secretly made you a new wedding dress, and put it under the cabinet in the meditation room. On it was your favorite pear flower, which was embroidered by my mother herself. , the next time you come to Yun'an Temple, you can wear it for your mother to see. Your mother's acacia will definitely look good in the wedding dress made by your mother."

Zhao Wuyou looked at his mother with a smile, and accidentally shed tears. The feeling of crying with a smile is really uncomfortable, "Mother, what you said made me cry. I have to go out to meet guests later, If the godfather sees it, he will be blamed for not keeping it clean."

Yang Jinzhi took a deep breath and wiped away the tears from her daughter's face, "Don't be afraid of him, he is just a waste that can't even protect his wife and children, and he wants to climb up on other people's bones. He is no longer my Brother Song is no longer the husband I know, he is an insatiable demon."

Xu Shi realized that he had said too much, and Yang Jinzhi's face showed a bit of panic and embarrassment.Seeing Zhao Wuyou's slightly frowning brows, Yang Jinzhi's complexion was pale, and he felt uneasy in his heart, "Hehuan, what mother said by these words is not, it's not—don't think that mother is provoking, mother didn't mean that, I didn't ask you to deliberately disobey your father, I—"

"Mother! Calm down, mother!" Zhao Wuyou hurriedly comforted, "Hehuan knows mother's painstaking efforts, Hehuan understands, mother, you can relax, mother——"

Yang Jinzhi came to his senses, and suddenly hugged Zhao Wuyou tightly, "Don't be afraid of Hehuan, mother will always protect you and stay by your side, no one can hurt mother's Hehuan. Don't worry, mother will give you time, three years Is it enough? Three years—is three years enough?"

Zhao Wuyou knew that his mother's illness had occurred again, "Enough is enough, mother, don't think about it."

Suxi's voice came from outside, "My lord, Master Xiang is coming soon, you and your wife get ready."

"Understood." Zhao Wuyou quickly let go of his mother, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Yang Jinzhi's face, "Mother, dad is coming soon, you clear up your mood, let's go out right away. If dad sees mom crying Well, something might happen."

Yang Jinzhi nodded, stared at Zhao Wuyou's face like a child, and kept staring at her, as if he wanted to carve her into his bones.

When walking out of the guest room, Zhao Wuyou saw Zhao Song walking in the corridor at a glance.

Su Xi said, "The lowly position is entangled with Chen Ping, so he has no choice but to go to the Xiangye."

"You step back!" Of course Zhao Wuyou knew that even without Suxi, his father would not have let his wife go out for too long.That's why Zhao Wuyou was not surprised by his father's appearance.

Suxi turned around and left, Zhao Wuyou led Yang Jinzhi forward.

Zhao Song's complexion was not very good-looking, and seeing Zhao Wuyou and Yang Jinzhi alone together, his eyes were even colder.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuyou coughed twice and let go of his mother's hand, and saluted Zhao Song respectfully, "Father!"

Yang Jinzhi took a deep breath and didn't even look at Zhao Song, looking a little dazed.

"It's getting late, so I won't delay your rest. Your mother and I should go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Zhao Song gave Yang Jin a cold look, and said after a slow tone, "Jinzhi, it's time to go."

Yang Jinzhi closed her eyes, and looked at Zhao Wuyou reluctantly, how many words came to her lips, but she couldn't say them anymore.

With tears in his eyes, Yang Jinzhi smiled at Zhao Wuyou, "Mother is gone, Hehuan needs to be healthy, you know?"

Zhao Wuyou smiled, "Mother, don't worry, He Huan is not a child."

"Then mother—you can leave at ease." Yang Jinzhi felt relieved, and then followed Zhao Song slowly towards the outside.

Zhao Wuyou coughed lightly, and personally sent his parents away.When getting into the car, Yang Jinzhi looked back at Zhao Wuyou again, and gave her a bright smile.Mother said, "Go back, it's cold outside, take care of yourself."

"En!" Zhao Wuyou nodded and watched with a smile.

The carriage gradually drifted away and finally sank into the darkness.

The wedding banquet in the Shangshu Mansion also gradually dispersed, the prime ministers left, and those sycophants followed suit.After eating and drinking enough, they all left Shangshu Mansion one by one.

The noisy world is about to return to calm.

But Yang Jinzhi's heart was never at peace again.

Sitting in the carriage, Yang Jinzhi looked sluggish, with a little dazed and gloomy eyes.

"What did you tell Wuyou?" Zhao Song asked.

The carriage swayed, and the dim light of the lantern in front of the carriage fell in from time to time, making my eyes hurt from the shaking.There was a sound of firecrackers outside, and gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the air, which was the direction of Shangshu Mansion.

Yang Jinzhi lifted the curtains and looked at the fireworks outside with a smile, "Do you still remember the promise you made to me when you and I got married?"

Zhao Song was taken aback, "It's pretty good, how do you talk about this?"

"You said that you would treat me well for the rest of your life, and that I would be enough for the rest of your life." Yang Jinzhi looked outside firmly, "You did manage to have only one wife and no concubines for the rest of your life, but Zhao Song, why did you change? "

"Has it ever changed?" Zhao Song took a deep breath, "Isn't it still the same as before?"

"You used to be so cold and ruthless." Yang Jinzhi said coldly, "Now you are no longer a human being because of the high salary and the butterfly Gu. Do you know how the words "pig and dog are inferior" are written? ? A tiger does not eat its offspring, your heart is more vicious than a beast. You don’t want your parents and children, and you don’t want your adopted son, just think about being able to rule the world alone.”

"Zhao Song, you will regret it sooner or later. But God is fair, he will not give you opportunities again and again. Everyone has a certain number of opportunities. If you run out of the fixed number, you will be alone."

Zhao Song sternly said, "Jinzhi, are you crazy enough? Have you said enough? I never regret what I do. Today is a good day for worry-free. Don't act recklessly and cause trouble. Tomorrow morning , I will let someone send you back to Yun'an Temple, you stay inside well, and when everything is over, I will personally pick you up."

Yang Jinzhi looked back at him, smiling so bitterly, "The pure land of Buddhism has become my prison. I wholeheartedly seek forgiveness and liberation, why even the Buddha is unwilling to forgive? Zhao Song, you will regret it, you will regret it !"

When the sound fell, there was a sudden loud noise, and Zhao Song's eyes widened in shock!

Later, Zhao Song thought, there is still one thing in this life that he regrets.It's a pity that as Yang Jinzhi said, all opportunities have a definite number, and he exhausted all the opportunities she gave, so - she never gave him another chance.
