Chapter 52
In September, Su Jin and Xiao Zhen decided to have a marriage, and because of a memorial from the Censor, the matter quickly spread throughout Jinling City.
Are the people of Jinling dissatisfied with Wu Yinghou? Surely not. Wu Yinghou is young, handsome, burly and strong. People who have seen Wu Yinghou join the emperor to Beijing praise him and want to give his daughter to Wu Yinghou as his wife. However, the good things that officials and the people are concerned about fallen on a widow who has a pair of children, and he is still a widow who has no reputation and only knows how to sell buns!
Now the people who watched the fun were not happy. The censor impeached Wu Yinghou to ignore the morality of his brothers. The people did not take this seriously. They only insulted the widow who sold buns to be unfaithful and used their beauty to seduce the upright and heroic Wu Yinghou! The hero was sad to pass the beauty, and the hero could forgive him for "making mistakes", but a widow was shameless and seduced, so he could not bear it!
This is the case in this world. Men can easily forgive mistakes, but women will definitely not do it! Even if men don’t scold them, women who are both women will curse her to death. Only by scolding the unfaithful widows can they demonstrate their moral integrity and obedience.
Even if Emperor Zhengde issued an order to commend Su and Wu Yinghou, the people could not stop the people from being scolded by Su Jin.
Yangzhou is very close to Jinling, and a businessman who came to Yangzhou to do business brought the marriage back to Yangzhou. Soon, the neighbors in Su Jin's hometown heard that the widow Wu Yinghou was going to marry was the bun Xishi they knew. They immediately started to talk about it with relish and rushed to tell Su Jin in their eyes.
The merchant brought the news to Jinling again. In this way, in the eyes of the Jinling people, Su Jin had another infamy that he was raising a wild man with Feng Shi on his back and gave birth to a wild man. When the rumors came back, the Marquis Wuying's mansion had just sent the betrothal gift to Su's house. In another month, the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, Marquis Wuying and Su were about to get married.
It is simply untolerated that a widow who has married a blacksmith and steals people on his back, giving birth to children for two men!
The inexplicable indignation of the people secretly threw manure and fry at the door of the Su house, and only once threw it away. The next night, someone went there, and was caught by the guards who were ambushed on the wall sent by Wu Yinghou. They caught two people and just took care of each other and went to the cell together. Killing chickens to warn the monkeys is the most effective. Although the people are still talking, at least no one dares to vent their tantrums at the door of the Su house again.
Most people have never seen Su Jin and Archer's true face, but Archer was with the third prince. The little eunuchs and palace maids in the palace had seen him. The court officials who went to the Qianqing Palace to meet the saints often met the third prince. Archer. When the news that Archer was not Feng Shi's son spread, someone would face Archer with the chief minister Shen Fu.
The big and the small look are very similar. Su family and Shen Fu are all from Yangzhou. The two clues are connected. The censors of the Censorate tacitly turned their eyes to the young chief minister Shen Fu. Shen Fu was deeply trusted by Emperor Zhengde, but he was promoted too quickly. The old subordinates of the emperor from Liaodong did not accept him. A group of old ministers in Jinling, especially those who once had higher official positions than Shen Fu, were even more jealous of Shen Fu.
However, no matter how suspicious they have, they have no evidence. As long as Shen Fu or Su Jin does not admit it, who dares to say that Archer is Shen Fu's flesh and blood?
In a storm of discussion, Shen Fuyun was calm and calm, and he was fully responsible for handling the matters of the cabinet.
The ministers were not anxious, and the emperor was anxious. After discussing political affairs with Shen Fu that day, Emperor Zhengde sent the left and right to play chess with Shen Fu alone.
"What do Yuanting thinks about the marriage between Wu Yinghou and Su family?" After Luo's son, Emperor Zhengde raised his eyes and looked at Chen Fu and asked.
Chen Fu's face was like a crown of jade, and he sat there calmly.
Emperor Zhengde suddenly felt that even if he had no talent, he would be pleasing to the eyes as a decoration in the court. The emperor governed the country, and all civil and military officials were indispensable. Emperor Zhengde was reluctant to give up Xiao Zhen, nor was he reluctant to give up Chen Fu, and did not want any of these two people to be driven away by the censors who could only talk.
Chen Fu understood the emperor's worries and whispered: "Don't worry, my elders, I will not take the initiative to hand over the handle to others."
Chen Fu didn't want Su Jin to marry Xiao Zhen. He once entrusted the censor to dispel Xiao Zhen's idea of marrying Su Jin. Unfortunately, he underestimated Xiao Zhen's aura. Xiao Zhen actually regarded rumors like Su Jin. Now, everyone is staring at them. If Chen Fu went to find Xiao Zhen or Su Jin at this time, it would be equivalent to admitting that Archer was the son of the Shen family.
He admitted that the court opponent would hit him, and Yu Sujin and Archer would not have any benefit.
Chen Fu is not that stupid as his relatives suffer from his enemies.
The minister was not impulsive, it was very good. Emperor Zhengde asked with concern: "Then Archer..."
If you don’t admit it at this time, and if you want to recognize your father and son in the future, wouldn’t Chen Fu slap himself in the face?
Chen Fu Luoqi paused, then steadily placed his black piece on the chessboard, lowered his eyes and said, "I will wait for the opportunity."
Xiao Zhen’s wedding was on the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, but according to custom, the Wu'an Hou Mansion began to entertain guests on the 17th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Xiao Zhen was not happy to interact with high-ranking officials. After moving to Jinling for so long, Xiao Zhen did not make a new friend. Now he is going to get married. Except for the three generals Chai Xiong, Zhang Jin, Huo Weizhang, and Xiao Zhen never posted to other court officials again. Some of the small officials flattered him in advance, and Xiao Zhenli, who hated and flattered him, ignored it.
But Xiao Zhen got along well with some of the low-level soldiers he had brought and posted a post to those people.
Therefore, the Wuying Marquis' Mansion was still very lively. A group of soldiers gathered together, and Chai Xiong and other veterans had no airs. Everyone drank wine and ordered the wine. The good wine he gave was given by the emperor and then brought him one jar after another. It was noisy and kept drinking from morning until dusk and sunset. The veteran Chai Xiong was carried down and Zhang Jin was also wandering around when he walked.
Huo Weizhang was also drunk and after accompanying Xiao Zhen to see the guests, he could no longer hold it in and rushed into the clean room, spitting and vomiting.
As the groom, Xiao Zhen was drunk the most times, not much better than Hoveyzhan. Hoveyzhan vomited in the guest room, and he vomited in the guest room.
Xu Wen and Xu Wu brought a pot of sober tea to the two of them. They drank so much, but the tea bowl was no longer enough.
It was almost dark, and Hovezhang finally recovered his strength and took out a copy of the album he had treasured for many years from his arms... and went to find Xiao Zhen. Entering the inner room, Hovezhang looked up and saw Xiao Zhen sitting in front of the window, tilting his head to look out the window, with his expression like a deep-rotted woman full of sorrow.
Huo Weizhang didn't understand anymore, and walked over and stared at Xiao Zhen and asked, "I'm going to get married tomorrow. What do you mean? I'm not happy?"
If Su was willing to be his concubine, Huo Weizhang would have wanted to invite a troupe to come to his home to sing opera.
Xiao Zhen drank too much wine and had a split headache. Wuxin listened to his long-winded words and urged: "It's getting late, go quickly, don't worry my sister-in-law." He wanted to marry Su Jin, and Huo Weizhang's wife Hua Shi kindly helped some ideas. Hua Shi will come to help entertain the female guests tomorrow. Xiao Zhen respects her very much.
If Huo Weizhang had nothing to do, he would have gone home and stayed with his wife and concubine long ago, so he would have used Xiao Zhen to get there?
"This is for you." Sitting opposite Xiao Zhen, Ho Weizhang threw the booklet in his hand on the table.
Xiao Zhen lowered his head.
The booklet is about as thick as a knuckle, with three big words written on the cover: "Hundred Flowers Pavilion"
Just looking at the title of the book, Xiao Zhen thought of the cultivation of flowers and trees, but when he met Huo Weizhang's meaningful wicked smile, Xiao Zhen vaguely guessed the content of the book and frowned and said, "I don't need it, you take it away."
Hovezhang sneered and looked at him with contempt: "Stop pretending to be garlic in front of me. No matter whether men or women, or not, can't escape my eyes. This is a good thing. I only got two volumes at the beginning. I have never been reluctant to let go of others for gold, silver and jewelry. Let me tell you that Su is not an ordinary girl. People have seen the world. If you don't prepare in advance, you will be really good tomorrow night and be careful to be teased by the women."
He dared to fantasize about Su Jin's affairs. Xiao Zhen was furious and suddenly stood up. He raised Huo Weizhang's arm with one hand, grabbed the broken booklet with the other, and threw it out with the book. The booklet was light and was thrown into the air by Xiao Zhen. Huo Weizhang himself had not yet stood firm. Seeing that the booklet was about to fall, the agile general immediately rushed over and finally grabbed the masterpiece that was hard to find in the market.
Before he could even decide the shock, a "bang" suddenly came from behind him. Hovezon turned around, but only saw two closed doors.
He treated his kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs. Hovezhang was so angry that he scolded: "Okay, okay, you are a gentleman, I'm a villain, okay? I want to see how you live tomorrow night!"
Xiao Zhen stood inside with his eyebrows deeply locked. Since he had decided not to touch Su Jin, he did not need such evil things.
Huo Weizhang was indeed very angry, but he was still worried that Xiao Zhen would be embarrassed, so he handed over "Hundred Flowers Pavilion" to Xu Wen and solemnly told Xu Wen to hand it over to Xiao Zhen, and then he said goodbye and left.
Xu Wen only felt that the things in his hand were very hot!
It is better to send out the hot things as soon as possible. In the evening, while Xiao Zhen went to take a shower, Xu Wen put the book on Xiao Zhen's bedside in cold sweat.
Xiao Zhen was worried, but before going to bed, he found that there was a book on the head of the bed...
Xiao Zhen turned around and looked at the door of the inner room. He was about to call Xu Wen, but he thought that Xu Wen must have to send the book over because of the coercion of Huo Weizhang. Xiao Zhen shook his head, picked up the book "Hundred Flowers Pavilion" and went to the study room, preparing to put it away first. When Hovezhang comes, he will ask Hovezhang to take it away.
Before putting the booklet at the top of the bookcase, his eyes fell on the cover, and Xiao Zhen unconsciously rolled his Adam's apple.
After all, it is impossible for a man to be uninterested. Xiao Zhen has only heard of dirty words from soldiers in his life, and has never seen them.
But in the end, Xiao Zhen put the booklet on and Surong left.
That night, Xiao Zhen did not sleep all night.
Su Jin didn't sleep well, but because she was too excited.
Su Jin is 24 years old this year and has given birth to two men. When Shen Fu was with him, they were in the woods and had nothing. Later, they married Feng Shi. In order to force his uncle and aunt to agree to the marriage, Su Jin was very cruel to him. He discussed with Feng Shi during the day and went to the Feng family with Feng Shi's arm in the evening. There was no matchmaker or whispering from beginning to end. Afterwards, he went to the yamen to get the marriage letter.
Therefore, marrying Xiao Zhen today is Su Jin's first real marriage.
As the sky was getting light, Su Jinshen got up refreshedly and changed into the wedding dress she sewn with her own hands. It was a big red sleeve shirt with colorful thread embroidered with dragon and phoenixes, and a big red silk skirt of the same color underneath. She dressed up and wore a phoenix crown and robe.
"Mom is so beautiful!" There are not many female guests coming to marry Su Jin, but Aman is the most loyal admirer of his mother. Standing aside, the girl raised her head blankly, and had completely fallen into her mother's beauty.
Su Jin smiled at his daughter, then moved his eyes to the mirror, the woman in the mirror was wearing a wedding dress, and she was so beautiful.
Su Jin was very satisfied with her outfit, and she was also looking forward to what expression Xiao Zhen would show when he saw her.
On a happy day, the sky is blue and the sun is warm, and it is almost noon. With the arrival of auspicious times, the groom also appeared on time to pick up the bride.
Xi Po smiled brightly and covered Su Jin with a red veil, and carefully helped her out.
In the yard, Xiao Zhen just saw the bride covered with a veil, and his heart jumped up quickly and was out of control.
