Zong Heng worked hard in Lianghuai for many years to maintain the extravagant life of the Marquis of Huai'an.
As the Marquis of Huai'an and officials at all levels in the Yandao of Lianghuai and Huai'an continued to obey the law, officials appointed by the imperial court also set off for the land of Lianghuai to take up their posts.
Three months later, several imperial decrees arrived in Suzhou at the same time.
According to the sage, Yu Ang temporarily took over the general affairs of the Lianghuai Salt Road. After selecting a suitable official to take over, he would return to Beijing to report his duties; The three divisions will be convicted and convicted, and the rest of the vassals will be punished by the King of Zhou with full power.
Along with the official business, there was another will to grant marriage, which was directly delivered to Baifu by an angel.
Bai Zhenting was a rambunctious one who didn't understand the rules of connecting the imperial decree, but Shu Changfeng was still there to give instructions and set up an incense case to receive the imperial decree for marriage.
When Bai Shiqi came home after helping, he was dumbfounded when he saw the imperial edict for marriage offered in the main hall.
"No... Does His Majesty the Emperor really agree to this marriage?"
Bai Zhenting looked at her with a complicated expression: "You... You didn't think about it before you promised? What about the gang?"
The marriage of his own cubs has been on his mind for a long time. It can make Zhou Wang’s eyes brighter. He has asked for a kiss several times, which greatly satisfies his vanity. Shu, do you want her to give up the Cao Gang? To be a woman in a deep house and live in peace
For one's own cubs, isn't it a prison like a cage
Bai Shiqi grew up on a boat by the water, and no one knew better than Bai Zhenting the importance of the Cao Gang to his cubs.
The girl who had always fluttered and jumped was drooping her head at this moment, like a lost dog, and said embarrassingly: "...I thought the royal family would be very strict with the candidates for the princess, at least it must be an official family, right? How do you know they don't choose so much?"
Bai Zhenting looked at her speechlessly, and for the first time felt that his cub was stupid.
"The previous dynasty was the dictatorship of foreign relatives to usurp power. This dynasty has learned from the experience of the previous dynasty's subjugation. Even the queen came from a commoner's family, not to mention the prince in power?"
Bai Shiqi opened his mouth in a daze - how could there be such a thing
She did go to a school, and Bai Zhenting also invited a husband for her, but the young master of the Caobang will neither take part in the scientific examination in the future, nor will he become an official in the Huanhai Sea. From a practical point of view, he would say very little about the royal family's officialdom, let alone gossip about the royal family's marriage.
Bai Shiqi was born in the wild, and had no ambition to make friends with powerful people. He was a great ferryboat to deal with Caohe officials, and it was extremely rare to see the Governor of Caoyun, not to mention marrying a prince.
On the same day, she went to find Zhou Wang to "negotiate".
The two met again, and because of a marriage decree, their identities have now changed substantially, Zhou Wang smiled and spoke more casually: "I said it earlier, I don't know when you have been there. Empty, it's time to discuss the engagement date."
Why didn't he see Bai Shiqi's hesitant look, and he didn't find it funny in his heart - he never frowned when he met the gangsters on a narrow road. Bai Shiqi, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, actually regarded marriage as a dreadful way? !
Bai Shiqi: "This is too... too fast?"
Zhou Wang smiled and said: "You and I are not too young, get married early, so that the elders can rest assured."
Bai Shiqi couldn't use the words "Big Brother, I just said it casually at the beginning, how could I know that you can really do it" to prevaricate Zhao Wu Jiu, so he could only cheer up and put on a serious face , Purge the spirit and said: "If I marry His Highness, what will happen to the Cao Gang? I can't ignore these brothers, right?"
Zhou Wang gave her a deep look: "What if I let you live with me in the capital after marriage?"
Bai Shiqi also looked back at him and said firmly: "That's not possible, as the leader of the Cao Gang, how can I live in the capital?"
Of course, if you always disagree, you can dissolve the engagement.
Zhao Wu Jiu is not married yet, he will face the long-term separation of his future husband and wife, he pretended to say, "Don't you think about giving up the Cao Gang for the sake of your future husband?"
Since ancient times, women have been three obedient and four virtues, but everything is very different when it comes to Bai Shiqi.
She doesn't have to depend on any man to live happily, and it's a little unbearable to lock her in the backyard of the deep house rashly.
As expected, Bai Shiqi immediately said anxiously, "Will you consider giving up your Paoze soldiers for the sake of your future wife?"
She had red lips and white teeth, and she went to Fireworks Liuxiang with Zhao Ziheng. She also looked like a rambunctious prostitute, with her flower name out, but her eyes were firm when she was serious.
Zhao Wu Jiu was amused by her appearance like an enemy, and finally he couldn't help but reach out and touch her face: "It's not that the negotiations between the two countries will break down, so why are you nervous?"
Bai Shiqi's heart was pierced by him, and he simply said straight: "I'm not afraid that His Highness will use his power to oppress others and force me to be a deep house woman? You know, I'm afraid that any house with my temperament will be shut down. Don't stay with me."
Zhao Wu Jiu laughed loudly: "What are you thinking in your little head?" He took her into his arms and rubbed her forehead affectionately: "What I like is the way you look on the Caohe. , how can people encircle people into the back house? Don’t worry, after I get married, I will ask myself to guard Jiangnan, be the governor of Liangjiang, and be in charge of the transportation of salt and water. The father is worried that there is no suitable candidate, and the border trouble has been settled. , am I not the right person? We can run from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River at that time."
"Really?" Bai Shiqi didn't expect such a good thing.
Zhao Wu Jiu tapped the tip of her nose, "When did this king distrust his words?" The mocking intent in his eyes was very obvious, he clearly guessed that Bai Shiqi was planning to shirk his marriage.
Bai Shiqi: "..." A man's sharp eyes are not a virtue.
At the end of July of the same year, the Caobang brought grain into Beijing, and the boats loaded with grain were connected end to end, crowding the Suzhou wharf, but a huge official ship was leading the way.
Bai Shiqi, dressed in a wedding dress, stood at the Suzhou Pier to say goodbye to his parents.
Su Shi was reluctant to bear her daughter, and repeatedly warned: "Beijing is no better than Suzhou, you have to pay attention to everything, don't be careless!"
Since Zhao Wu Jiu received the imperial decree for marriage, he has taken root in Jiangnan, not only did he not want to return to Beijing, but also wanted to live in the Bai Mansion, his prospective father-in-law, Bai Zhenting, was very unhappy, and when he saw him, he felt very angry. .
The old gang leader Bai used to look forward to his cubs getting married and starting a business, but at that time, he was thinking of recruiting children. Anyway, after the marriage, the couple was under his own eyes, so there was no extra thought.
But today is different from the past. Bai Shiqi was going to marry far away from the capital, but his prospective son-in-law promised him that he would bring his cubs back to Jiangnan after marriage, but when the common people thought of the royal house, they always felt that it was out of reach. The man, the words full of exhortations were kept in his heart, and his face turned red as he held back, he said in a thousand words: "If someone bullies you, remember to tell Dad!"
Bai Shiqi has been stubborn and active since he was three years old. The more he grows up, the more intense the confrontation with Bai Zhenting. At this moment, he looked up at his old father, and suddenly realized that, at some point, Bai Zhenting's temples were dyed with frost, and the corners of his eyes were stained with frost. Wrinkles are plentiful, and even the previously straight waist has slumped due to this serious injury.
Tears burst into her heart, but she smiled slyly: "It's fine if I don't bully others, where is it my turn to bully me?!"
Zhao Wu Jiu, who received the double threat of the prospective father-in-law and the prospective bride: "..."
He smiled warmly, with a noble bearing but with unspeakable certainty: "Don't worry, my father-in-law, I will not let others bully to seventeen!"
Bai Zhenting: "..." Isn't the new son-in-law a little stupid? Can't hear the meaning of targeting in Lao Tzu's words
Bai Shiqi said goodbye to his parents, and also warned, "Dad, don't be too arrogant. If you're not feeling well, take a break. If you're really uncomfortable, ask old man Huang to take care of you."
Huang Youbi's great revenge was avenged by the hands of Zhou Wang, and he brought Zhu Shoumei back to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
Zhu Shoumei's deep affection for Bai Shiqi was not reciprocated, and when she saw the imperial decree for marriage, she followed Huang Youbi back to her hometown sadly. There will be less chance to meet again, you take care of yourself!"
The road is short and the love is long.
He turned around and left Suzhou Mansion in three steps.
Bai Shiqi regarded him as a brother and had no charming thoughts, so it was very refreshing to send him off.
Bai Zhenting can't wait to pat the mountain on his chest to prove that he is in good health: "I'm fine, I don't need your Uncle Huang's prescription for conditioning!"
Since the injury, he has been pouring bitter medicine soup for several months under Huang Youbi's hot hands. He even felt that there was a smell of medicine in his sweat, and finally waved his old friend who returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors happily away. There is no reason to invite people back.
Bai Shiqi could only turn a blind eye to his father's aggressive behavior at his age: "Just be happy! Just be happy!"
Recuperating and being in a good mood is the first priority, so she should stop blocking the old man.
When the official ship lifted anchor, Bai Shiqi and Zhao Wujiu stood side by side at the bow, waving their hands to say goodbye to their parents, seeing the ship getting farther and farther from the dock, suddenly a fast horse came galloping in the distance and arrived at the side of Bai Zhenting and his wife. After tightening the reins, the horse raised its front hooves high, took two steps back with a neigh, and finally stopped.
The man on the horse looked at the official ship that was drifting away in his line of sight, full of annoyance: "Seventeen is gone?"
Su Shi didn't want to pay attention to him, so he turned his head with a cold snort and was about to leave. It was Bai Zhenting who looked at Wen Bao and said politely, "Is Gang Master Wen here to send Seventeen? It's a step too late."
The person who came was Wen Tao.
Deputy gang leader Liu instigated the gang to attack the government office at night, and officers and soldiers came to arrest people. He fled in a hurry, like a mouse crossing the street hiding everywhere, concentrating on investigating the civil strife of the Salt Gang.
Zhao Wu Jiu acted resolutely and rectified the Jiangnan Salt Road, and by the way also found out Wen Bao's death, but it turned out to be the hands of a traitor from the Salt Gang in the chaos, and by the way, he plotted against Da Jue Luo.
King Zhou returned the innocence to Dajue Luo, and the Yan Gang was in constant civil strife. Wen Tao finally didn't have to run around anymore, and returned to the Yan Gang to rectify the help. After receiving the royal decree for marriage, he almost fainted.
He has been thinking about Bo for over seventeen years, even if he is unwilling, he is unable to compete with Zhao Wujiu, but when he stabbed her for Wen Bao's death, he still feels guilty. He was timid, and he turned back after walking halfway through countless times.
When Zhi heard that she was going to Beijing to get married, she hurried over from Yancheng. Unexpectedly, it was still a little late, so she could only wave to the distant official ship.
Zhao Wu Jiu has excellent eyesight, he did not change his face when he waved goodbye on the Suzhou dock, but he lowered his head and said in Bai Shiqi's ear, "Actually, the trick Qiu Ying used to stab you in the Cao Gang was a false move, he It turned into a real move after I rushed over. I thought about his intentions again and again later, maybe he was reluctant to stab you at all, but just wanted to test if I was willing to protect you at all costs. "
Bai Shiqi couldn't tell the difference in his heart, as if he had been looking forward to a bowl of delicious fish soup for a long time when he was a child, but he had waited too long, and he was attracted by other delicacies on the way. It has been deteriorating for a long time.
"Really?" She said lightly, "Who knows."
She has long been reluctant to look into it.
Zhao Wu Jiu said, "He has too many murder cases and was sentenced to death."
Bai Shiqi: "There is a state law, so he should die." Thinking of Xiao Shi and the others who died in vain, his heart froze.
Zhao Wu Jiu hugged her shoulders and said softly, "The bow is windy, let's go back to the cabin."
Zhou Wang got married, and the one he married was a Jiangnan woman, which shocked the eyes of many people in Beijing.
The empress had no objection to her son's, and the wedding was very grand. The Ministry of Rites sent someone to teach the bride etiquette half a month in advance.
On the day of the big wedding, the emperor went to Zhou Wangfu to observe the ceremony in person, and sat in the main hall to accept the kneeling of the newlyweds.
It is really hard to be a bride. In the early morning of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I have not had a tooth, and I have lost my temper after being tossed by the cumbersome wedding ceremony. When I entered the bridal chamber and took off the hijab, the groom went back to the front hall to accompany the wine, and she was full and drank. Sitting cross-legged on the bed to recharge.
The groom sent off the Empress, and after entertaining the gang of generals who were used to drinking, he stepped into the new house, and before he sat down beside the bride, Bai Shiqi smiled, "I heard that Zhou Wang was good at fighting, but he never fought with His Highness. We have learned martial arts, today is a good day, why don't we learn about it?"
Recently locked up in another courtyard to learn etiquette, I am almost full of fire.
The bridegroom's wish was fulfilled, and he had no choice but to obey the bride's request: "Since the princess has such an interest, this king dares not to obey?!"
After a while, there was a violent fight in the room, and the generals who were eavesdropping on the corner were dumbfounded: "... This is too fierce, right?"
With a candle of incense, the newlyweds became more and more interested in their fight, only to hear a loud bang, and the two people who were fighting on the bed sank at the same time - the bed board disintegrated during the fight.
The two sat on top of the torn and collapsed bed, peeping at each other.
"This is... too weak, isn't it?"
Outside overheard the generals in the corner: "His Royal Highness King Zhou is mighty!"
Good nights and nights, this life is long, and they still have a lifetime to learn from each other.
