Xin Chaoyang's courtyard is located in the east wing of the Xin family's mansion. Because he likes to be quiet, the houses here are a bit claustrophobic and small. When he decided to use this place as a wedding room, Mr. Xin, who was on crutches, personally decorated and renovated the entire courtyard, especially the A four-room house was opened up and heavily decorated as the couple's living room.
The afterglow of the setting sun pours into the room through the shade of the trees and the window lattice, illuminating the woman in green clothes sitting on the canopy bed with a hanging tassel brocade tent, which is particularly warm and pleasant.
Four or five maids were busy packing the boxes and cages without any fuss.
Gu Shiba Niang looked at it for a while, then stood up and walked outside the door. Different from the low-key luxury in the house, there were actually jujube trees planted in the courtyard. At this time, there were many green fruits, and there were even older grape vines with branches. A piece of green shade is erected, green fruits are falling, and a simple atmosphere blows in the face.
Gu Shiba Niang watched quietly, and unknowingly, as the night fell, she suddenly saw a person striding in outside the hanging flower door, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"You're back so early?" she asked with a smile, reaching out her hand to take the cloak from Xin Chaoyang's hand.
Instead of handing the letter to her, Chaoyang reached out and held her hand.
"Nothing is bigger than sending my wife out..." He smiled, holding her hand and walking into the room.
Gu Shiba Niang didn't like being so intimate in front of others, she looked slightly ashamed and struggled to break free.
After seeing the ceremony, the maids in the room hurriedly bowed their heads and left.
"Smile carefully..." she scolded.
Xin Chaoyang smiled and wrapped her hand tightly in his palm, "Have you ever cared about whether others laugh or cry..."
Xin Chaoyang married Gu Shiba Niang, which caused an uproar in the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmacists were happy, while pharmacists were scolding. Many people in the industry even placed bets on the couple. Whether the east wind will prevail over the west wind or the west wind will prevail over the east wind, it doesn't matter. Whether it is a gathering of the pharmaceutical business community or a gathering of the pharmacist community, the couple are always a must-talk topic, which makes the children of the Xin family feel even more stressed. Even Xin Chaoling, who spends his days drinking and having fun, I couldn't bear other people's jokes and questioning, so I had to stay at home for a month.
Of course, Xin Chaoyang didn't pay much attention to these fun and jokes from the outside world, and continued to strategize calmly.
"No." Gu Shiba Niang said with a faint smile.
"You are not someone else..." Xin Chaoyang smiled and took her into his arms, "You are my wife..."
Gu Shiba Niang smiled and said nothing, leaning in front of him, holding hands with him and standing in silence for a moment.
"I'm going to live in Yuzhou...you really don't feel uncomfortable?" She raised her finger and gently poked Xin Chaoyang's chest, looked up at him slightly and asked with a smile.
After just a month of marriage, Gu Shiba Niang is going back to Yuzhou. It’s not that she wants to go back to her parents’ home, but that she has decided to stay in Yuzhou for three years to enhance her knowledge and hone her skills. A wedding is like honey mixed with oil. When they are together, separation is the worst thing to do. In some families, if they have no choice but to separate, it is the husband, but in their family, it is the bride who leaves home.
Of course, the whole family didn't dare to say anything wrong, but they still had some murmurs in their hearts.
"Of course..." Xin Chaoyang lowered his head and pecked her forehead, and whispered in her ear, "You know the taste when you eat the marrow...it's not as good as before..."
His voice was low, and hot breath hit Gu Shiba Niang's earlobe. With these ambiguous words, Gu Ba Niang's face suddenly turned red, and she raised her hand to push him away.
Her shy push, under the dim light, was particularly alluring in Xin Chaoyang's eyes. He stretched out his hands to pick her up by the waist, opened the window to let the autumn moonlight shine, extinguished the candles and untied her skirt, smiling under the curtain, the scent of orchid and hibiscus lingered on her body. , this tenderness is like water, a good time is like a dream, how can one word describe it.
The next day, Gu Shiba Niang's carriage set off on time.
"Be careful on the road. I'll go as soon as I'm done with what I'm doing..." Xin Chaoyang asked her with a smile as he helped her get into the carriage.
"It doesn't matter, you are busy with your work... If I am free, I will come back to see you..." Gu Shiba Niang nodded and said with a smile.
The separation and death were not as tragic as everyone expected, which shocked the jaws of the other members of the Xin family on the side. Several young disciples winked at each other, some of them looked happy, while others looked annoyed and frustrated.
"How much did you drink?"
"My entire fortune is staked..."
"Then you'll make a lot of money..."
"Bullshit... I'm betting on the eldest brother Tsuna Dazhen..."
"Fortunately, I'm smart... I'm better off betting on my sister-in-law... I'm rich..."
Accompanied by a group of low chirping laughter, Gu Shiba Niang's motorcade drove away from the Xin family mansion.
Xin Chaoyang turned around and glanced at the people with strange expressions intentionally or unintentionally.
"We're all busy. We're all busy..." Everyone immediately dispersed with a haha.
Xin Chaoyang smiled slightly and waved to the boy beside him.
"How much did we earn?" Xin Chaoyang asked with a low smile.
"Master..." The young man came over immediately with a smile on his face, "You pay ten for one... We have made a lot of money..."
"Put the money away quietly..." Xin Chaoyang laughed, "This is how they honor my wife, don't give it up..."
In the imperial palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when the sky was bright, the ninety-five-year-old emperor finally put down the last memorial, raised his hand to rub his sore arms, stood up and looked out the window.
Under the morning light, surrounded by red walls and yellow tiles, painted pillars and carved beams, and high and low towers and palaces, the palace is magnificent and magnificent, but it also looks depressing at this time.
The emperor strolled out, and a fat eunuch followed him carefully.
Seeing the emperor slowly walking towards a palace, the eunuch said unconsciously: "Your Majesty, would you like to have a meal?"
"Go to the queen..." the emperor said casually.
"...Quickly, go and send the message to the imperial kitchen. Your Majesty is going to the Queen..." The eunuch immediately ordered to the young eunuchs beside him.
"What else are you preparing?" The emperor glanced at him and asked calmly.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is fasting these days...I am afraid that if it is today, it will not be in your Majesty's taste..." the eunuch said with a smile and respect.
The emperor yelled and kept walking. At this time, he had passed through a palace gate and stood in front of a nine-dragon screen wall. Different from the solemn atmosphere of the front hall, this place was a little more relaxed and casual.
"Then I won't go..." the emperor said, frowning slightly, "Which palace is closest to this place?"
The chamberlain who was following him had a hint of imperceptible nervousness on his face, and he raised his head and glanced casually.
"Your Majesty, get closer to Empress Ge's Chonghua Palace..." He lowered his head and said.
The emperor hummed and walked slowly. Seeing that he was indeed going in the direction of Chonghua Palace, the chamberlain secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of joy flashed across his brows.
When she heard that the emperor was coming, her concubine Ge Shi, who had just entered the Chonghua Palace and had just entered the Chonghua Palace, was overjoyed. She served her diligently and tenderly, had breakfast, and played an impromptu song for His Majesty. Seeing the emperor's face smiling, Ge Shi cried with joy. .
Although there were not many concubines in the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty, most of them were former relatives of the prince's east palace, and the emperor was diligent in his duties. There were not many opportunities for a newcomer like her to meet the emperor, let alone invite him to favor him.
"Are you from Quzhou?" the emperor asked seemingly unintentionally, looking at the pretty and pretty woman in front of him.
"Yes, my concubine's father is the postmaster of Gaoyang County..." She lowered her head, as if she was a little ashamed because of her humble background, but she did not hesitate in speaking. In fact, she also knew that the emperor would never look down on her because of her humble background. On the contrary, I will like it more.
"Well..." The emperor was silent for a moment, "I guess my family is not rich either... If you have money, you should save your money... You can't bribe these servants..."
As soon as these words came out, Ge's face turned white in shock and he knelt on the ground. The chamberlain who had been standing outside the door even softened his legs and knelt down.
He was originally afraid that the queen would find out that she had kidnapped the emperor who was going to her, and she would give him something good to eat. However, he did not expect that the emperor knew it well...
He was originally a eunuch in the ceremonial hall and was literate, but due to bad luck, he had never been able to get a good future. So far, he had only become a familiar face in front of the emperor, so he had the courage to take this step. .
It was not his turn to invite the empress, and the other empresses were all picked up first. It took him a long time to find this concubine who had just entered the palace. She was of low birth, good-looking, and very scheming. It was at a time when he was isolated and helpless and in urgent need of connections to help him consolidate his favor, so he decided to join forces with her...
Unexpectedly, I lost myself the first time.
"What an idiot..." After hearing the report, Huang Huang shook his head and sneered, then coughed. The young eunuch beside him hurriedly rubbed his back and handed him tea.
He looked even older now, and coupled with his illness, his whole body was like a dry tree that had been drained dry.
"Grandpa... Then Yang Quan, please give me a way to survive..." the little eunuch said in a low voice.
"Stop it..." Huang Huang said, "You have to walk this road yourself... whether you live or die... others can't decide... My child, please remember clearly. Here, what should be said and what should be done? You can't say anything or what you can't do, but you have to be bright in your heart...otherwise..."
After saying this, he coughed violently again. The little eunuch hurriedly comforted him and kept saying that he had taken note of it.
"I didn't understand at first..." Waitress Huang gasped for a moment, leaned on the cushions, looked out the window, a little confused, and sighed, "It turns out...she is the one who understands...she left early... "
The young chamberlain didn't understand and couldn't help but ask: "Who is grandpa talking about?"
"You don't recognize the people outside the palace..." Huang Huang said tiredly, slowly squinting his eyes.
The little chamberlain was still puzzled. He remembered something he had been ordered to do some time ago, and suddenly asked tentatively: "Grandpa, it was the one you asked your child to entrust to weave those people to send gifts..."
The chamberlain Huang seemed to be asleep and did not answer his words. The chambermaid hurriedly silenced and covered his mouth.
"It's time to beat me. I don't dare let others know about this. If His Majesty finds out..." He stood up and went out quietly.
As the door closed, Waiter Huang slowly opened his eyes.
"Do you think you can hide anything from His Majesty? If he doesn't know... I wouldn't dare to give that gift even if I had a hundred guts..." He murmured, lying down, this time it was true. fell asleep
