A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 521 Another Marriage Promised

Meng Yan is preparing materials to make a kite. She said at the Winter Welcome Ceremony last time that she wanted to make a big one, the kind that people and kites could be flown together.

Chongyi excitedly helped from the side.

Meng Yan sat under the eaves, holding a piece of charcoal in his hand, and drew several drawings while thinking about it. Chongyi and Yan'er squatted beside them and watched carefully.

The first shape she drew was in the shape of a giant kite.

The structure of the giant kite needs to be supported by bamboo poles, which can also carry people.

Chongyi and Yan'er had never seen the following figure before.

It is like an umbrella shape, but it is semi-curved.

Chongyi couldn't help asking: "What is the painting behind the princess?"

Meng Yan was concentrating on making some adjustments according to the memory, and said casually: "Paragliding. I wonder if it can be made."

"Paragliding?" Yan'er asked, "What is that?"

Chongyi was also puzzled.

Meng Yan and Chongyi said: "When you were doing missions in the past, if you wanted to go through the valleys and lowlands, didn't you have to go around the mountains on horseback?"

Chongyi replied: "Yes."

"It takes half a day on the road, and a day or two at most." She raised her eyebrows and tapped the initial outline of the umbrella with black charcoal. If you control it in the middle, you can fly directly over the valley lowlands, saving time wasted on the way, so you can get twice the result with half the effort.”

Chongyi's eyes were fixed on the umbrella pattern. All the enthusiasm for the big kite before was concentrated on it. It had nothing to do with pure play, but a kind of professional excitement. His eyes flickered faintly, and said: " real?"

Meng Yan looked at her, curled her lips and said, "Why are you lying to me? This one doesn't have a skeleton outline like a kite, so it's easy to store and carry, but the materials need to be carefully considered."

She thought, if it can be made, it might be useful in the future, which is more meaningful than making a kite.

Chongyi was very interested, so in the following days, she often went out to the streets with Meng Yan to inspect the materials used in various cloth shops.

At the same time, preparations are being made for a happy event in the palace.

The seventh prince's wedding is approaching, and the main concubine and side concubine will enter the door on the same day.

The seventh prince is the most gentle and refined among all the princes, and is quite the emperor's favorite.

His mother and concubine come from the Xu family, which is also a well-known family. Xu Ge's position in the cabinet is not only important, but also has many disciples.

One of the concubines he is going to marry now is the daughter of a general, and although the other's family affairs are not as good as before, at least there is still the support of Duke Qing's mansion.

So no matter how you look at it, the Seventh Prince's advantages are unique.

His marriage will naturally be a grand event that day.

The palace sent a number of wedding items to the general's mansion and Meng's house successively. Needless to say, the betrothal gift was very heavy.The wedding dress and jewelry worn by the bride on the day of her wedding should also be made in the palace, exquisite and unparalleled.

As a concubine to be married, Ming Yanjun was very calm, and she could not see the shyness and anticipation that a newlywed should have from her face.

After all, this was a marriage bestowed by the emperor, and she hadn't had much contact with the seventh prince before, so it was only natural that she couldn't develop feelings for a while.

On the contrary, when the childhood sweethearts who grew up with her came to visit her, they could still see some sincere smiles on her face.

This childhood sweetheart is also the son of a general named Qiu Ke.His father, General Qiu, was one level lower than General Ming, but he had always been on good terms with him.

When Qiu Ke came to General Ming's mansion, Mrs. Ming greeted him warmly when she saw him: "A Ke is here, go to the garden and have a look, Lord Yan is here."

Qiu Ke smiled and cupped her fists, calling "Auntie".

As soon as he took two steps, Mrs. Ming stopped him again and said, "My good boy, please help me persuade Lord Yan to wield knives and guns early in the morning. After all, she will soon be a prince and concubine. If you go through the door After that, how can it work?"

Mrs. Ming, a mother, is also worried, her daughter Xiwu, but no one knows that the seventh prince is Xiwen's, and it is not known whether they will get along well if they get together.

Qiu Ke said with a smile, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will try to persuade you."

As soon as Qiu Ke entered the garden, before seeing Lord Mingyan, she heard the sound of the wind carried by the waving of the spear.

He went to stand under the tree for a while, and saw a woman with long hair in a high wavy, smartly dressed, with a skillful and sharp spear in the open space of the garden.

Different from the big ladies who usually wear skirts and hairpins, what she exudes at this moment is a kind of unassuming and comfortable look.

Under the tree, Erlang was holding his arms, smiling, and his slender body was also handsome and plump.

Ming Yanjun glanced at him, turned around, picked up a spear in his hand and threw it to him.

Qiu Ke had no choice but to raise her hand to catch it, because the next moment Ming Yanjun attacked with his spear, he would fight him.

While defending, Qiu Ke said: "Auntie asked me to persuade you, why did you let me fight with you?"

The maidservants in the garden stood around laughing.

After being ridiculous, I couldn't help feeling a little bit sad.

Looking at the two people who fought against each other, they should be talented and beautiful.

The maidservants all thought that their young lady would marry Mr. Qiu in the end.It's a pity that an imperial decree promised another marriage.

But this Mr. Qiu is as usual, every time he comes here, he always has a smile on his face, and he doesn't seem to be sad. He thinks he regards Mr. Mingyan as his younger sister.

Until Mr. Ming Yan finished playing to his heart's content, panting slightly, he threw away his silver gun, turned around and went to the servant girl's hand to take a towel to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "What does my mother want you to persuade me?"

Qiu Ke also took a towel from the maid and wiped it, then turned around and sat on the porch with one leg bent, describing it as unrestrained and unrestrained.

He smiled and said, "I advise you to be more elegant and not to be so violent."

Ming Yanjun looked at him and said, "I've always been like this, and it's not the first time you've met me."

Qiu Ke sighed, and said: "You can't do this, what will you do when you marry the Seventh Prince's mansion and scare the Seventh Prince away? Even though you are a concubine, the Seventh Prince would not dare to treat you harshly, but if you don't tie me up In his heart, there will be a long time in the future, how will he live?"

Ming Yanjun sat down beside him, he reached out and touched her head, and said: "Listen to brother, be gentle from now on."

Ming Yanjun raised his head and looked at the sky outside the eaves. It had been cloudy for many days, and the sky made her eyes look gray.

She suddenly asked: "Why do men have to have three wives and four concubines?"

Qiu Ke was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "There are also men who only marry one wife in their lives." After a pause, she said softly, "But you will marry the prince, not that kind of man."

At the right time, the servant girl came to report, saying that the palace sent a wedding dress, and Ming Yanjun needed to go to try on the wedding dress.

Ming Yanjun got up and went, but he didn't see the foreign land and Qiu Ke said: "If you are not in a hurry to leave, help me take a look."

Qiu Ke responded with a smile.
