Chapter 2693 Homecoming
After General Xiao Liu received the imperial edict of marriage, he went to warn Zheng Hua: "This is a marriage granted by His Majesty. If you can't live with it, it will be my daughter who divorces you. Don't even think about divorcing your wife!"
Zheng Hua was almost beaten to death by General Xiao Liu. How could he dare to bully his future wife? He hurriedly said: "Don't worry, for the sake of my own life, I will definitely have a good life with Ya Qing. But when we grow old together, I will die to apologize!"
After hearing this, General Xiao Liu was happy. This happiness gave Zheng Hua another lesson. Zheng Hua felt like crying, but for the sake of his family and his future wife, he had no choice but to fight.
…
After hearing Ouyang Shao's words, Second Master Xu almost went crazy: "What, we've already been engaged, or we've made it a long time ago, so why didn't you tell us earlier? Isn't this just teasing us?!"
Ouyang Shao was dissatisfied when he heard this. What time does the two families want to announce their marriage? What does it have to do with the Xu family? Are your Xu family relatives of the two families? It’s not a matter of relationship, but your second master Xu is dissatisfied with the marriage between our two families. He’s too shameless!
However, Ouyang Shao still explained: "The Zheng family had fallen in love with Brother Qi a few years ago, but Brother Qi felt that his family background was too low and he did not dare to climb high, so the marriage was put on hold for the time being. After the Duke of Qin found out, Zheng The family brought up the matter of getting married again, and Brother Qi also thought about it and said he would write a letter home to ask his parents. After the Qi family's parents got a definite reply, they encountered an earthquake, Xiong Yue's rebellion, and the Wei Jiajun came to kill The situation was so chaotic that the two families suppressed the news, but they didn’t mean to play tricks on anyone.”
After explaining clearly, Ouyang Shao stood up and said: "Second Master Xu, Brother Xu, my family just gave birth to a filial piety, and there are still many backlogged things to do, so I won't keep you any longer, please."
It's a direct drop-off.
Second Master Xu was furious, but he did not dare to offend the Ouyang family, so he could only leave with Xu Yan.
After I got home, I told Mr. Xu the news, which made Mr. Xu so angry that he almost fainted: "We are engaged again. How can we get engaged to anyone we like? Someone is clearly deliberately trying to mess with our Xu family!"
Xu Yan hurriedly said: "Grandpa, no one is targeting our family, it's just a coincidence."
Second Master Xu jumped to his feet and retorted: "What a coincidence, someone is deliberately trying to harm our family!"
Xu Yan was angry and said: "Second uncle, the Xu family is not the residence of a prince, nor is it the home of powerful ministers. Each family is very busy, how can they have the leisure to rectify our family? Don't think too much and say more. There’s chaos in the house!”
Second Master Xu pointed at him and cursed: "Shuzi, you, a junior, dare to scold yourself for kissing your second uncle!"
Mr. Xu had a headache from their quarrel and shouted: "Shut up, stop quarreling. If you continue to quarrel, get out of Xu's house!"
After hearing this, Second Master Xu shut up.
Xu Yan also said respectfully: "Yes...Grandpa, don't be angry. It's your grandson's fault."
However, as soon as he apologized, the next moment he was almost angered to death by his grandfather.
Mr. Xu looked at him and said: "Brother Yan, my grandfather knows that you want to save face, but your second uncle's sister Yun is really old... There are many powerful generals in the Wei Army, such as Wu'an Hou Zhou Huang, General Huang and others, they are a bit older, but they are all His Majesty's confidants. It is a blessing for our girl to marry them... Your father-in-law has a wide network, go to him and ask him to ask for help. Let’s talk about it.”
this?
How are they older? He's old enough to be Sister Yun's father!
Moreover, they are His Majesty's confidants. Even if they want to marry, it will not be the Xu family's turn.
But Mr. Xu insisted that Xu Yan go to Fang Shangshu to ask for help. Xu Yan had no choice but to take his wife back to Fang's house and ask for help from Fang Shangshu.
After hearing this, Fang Shangshu almost broke out in laughter: "How dare you think that your grandfather is a confidant of His Majesty, and it is his turn to be a high-ranking member of your family?!"
However, Fang Shangshu still agreed: "Sure, I'll ask my friends to ask."
Otherwise, if he doesn't help, Mr. Xu will continue to jump up and down and harm his daughter and son-in-law.
However, there was no need for Fang Shangshu to ask for help. Soon, news spread that Zhou Huang was engaged to the second granddaughter of Mr. Guange, General Huang was engaged to Mr. Xun’s eldest granddaughter, and Vice Admiral Ping was engaged to Zong Zhengrou. come out.
Not to mention Zhou Huang and General Huang, the Xu family didn't even get a deputy general.
After Mr. Xu heard the news, he was so angry that he fainted. When he woke up, his body was not as good as before.
What is surprising is that Ning Ji actually got engaged to Lord Wang's youngest concubine, who became brother-in-law to Wei Qi. When the news came out, it almost shook the entire capital.
At this point, this marriage integration has reached a vigorous stage.
While various families were busy getting married, Qin Sanlang took refuge in the northwest army camp outside the city and did not return to the Duke of Qin's mansion until the afternoon of the fourth day of October.
I went to Dou's house early on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to help.
Because he gave Dou Ke enough face, all the major mansions in the capital gave Dou Ke generous gifts, and even the Yan family was crowded with guests.
On the sixth day of the lunar month, Qin Sanlang and Zhong Yu served as Dou Ke's best grooms, and led a large group of people to Yan's house to pick up the bride.
Welcoming poems, wine at the door, and quizzes and martial arts competitions, Dou Ke finally received the bride after passing five levels and defeating six generals.
Dou Ke and Miss Yan knelt down together to worship the memorial tablets of the Yan family's parents, as well as Uncle Yan and his wife. They served tea to them and thanked them for their kindness in raising their siblings for many years.
Miss Yan looked at Aunt Yan and said, "Some time ago, it was my niece who was at fault and caused trouble for my aunt. Please stop arguing with my niece and forgive her this time."
Aunt Yan cried: "Second Aunt also has her faults... Let's not talk about this anymore. You and Mr. Dou live a good life. When you are free, go back to your parents' house often."
"Yes, my niece will." Miss Yan responded. After kowtowing to them, her younger brother Yan Ying carried her out of the house and onto the sedan chair.
When the sedan chair was lifted up, Miss Yan lifted a corner of the sedan curtain and secretly glanced at Dou Ke... He was dressed in wedding clothes, riding a tall horse, and was throwing money to the congratulatory people in a high-spirited manner. He looked extremely arrogant.
Miss Yan laughed... She is extremely lucky to have such a person who has been treating her sincerely for so many years, and she will cherish this luck, take good care of their family, and give him a few more children. The house became lively.
Miss Yan blushed with embarrassment at the thought of giving birth, but at this moment, Dou Ke looked over. After seeing her, he thought she wanted to see him for something, so he hurriedly rode over and asked: "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong? "
Miss Yan panicked and quickly lowered the sedan curtain, but she was worried that Dou Ke would think she didn't like him, so she replied: "I just want to remind you, don't drink too much, it will hurt your health."
Haha, Dou Ke laughed and said: "Don't worry, wife, I'm so smart, they can't get me drunk. If they forcefully get me drunk, there will be a group of generals led by Qin Guogong to help me stop the wine, I won't get drunk."
After hearing this, Miss Yan felt relieved and said: "You should leave quickly and stay by the sedan. You will be laughed at."
"Ha, OK, I'm leaving first. Wife, if you have anything to do, please ask Dou Zhi for help. That girl is awesome and will handle everything for you." Dou Ke finished his explanation and waited for Miss Yan to respond before riding his horse. Arriving at the front of the welcoming team, after a half-circle around the capital, they returned to Dou Mansion and paid a visit to the church to get married.
…
After Dou Ke got married, October 19th soon came, the day when Zhong Yu and Chu Qinghui officially gave their engagement gift.
For the sake of reputation, Wei Qi gave them a pair of heart-linking jade pendants on the day of the engagement ceremony, and on October 29th, the day they officially got married, as an elder, he personally presented Chu Qinghui in marriage.
As soon as this play was performed, his reputation as a benevolent king spread even wider, and he won over many old ministers. The old ministers went from doubting and disbelieving to truly feeling good about him, and began to want to be loyal to him.
