Zhou Yong was silent for a while. Thinking about it, this is indeed the case. After all, the court is in turmoil now, so it is of course best to win over Prime Minister Qi.
In this way, a few days later, Zhou Zonghan went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose a marriage with a rich gift and a matchmaker, and Prime Minister Qi directly discussed the wedding date because he was afraid that Qi Lan's belly would get bigger, and it was only half a month later.
Zhou Zonghan got married, because his wife was Qi Lan, a standard lady, so it was natural that Ming Media was marrying. Although it was a bit urgent, He Yanfei also gave what should be given. She treats the bastard harshly.
On the night of the big wedding, red lanterns were hung high on the long street, and the trees on the side of the road were wrapped in a layer of beautiful red silk. Every ten steps there was a maidservant in red, and every three meters and three there was a piece of paper wrapped in a red bag. The round rice cake looks spectacular from a distance.
But no matter how spectacular the wedding scene was, it couldn't stop those who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, and couldn't stop those who talked loudly, so what was originally a luxurious wedding turned into a laughing stock among everyone.
Zhou Zonghan didn't hear these rumors. After all, he is the protagonist of these rumors. No one would be stupid enough to say this in front of him. He was riding a tall horse with a red color ball tied to the horse's head, and he had a smile on his face. Yangyang, he finally married the wife of his dreams.
Although Qi Lan was a little unhappy at the beginning because of her natal family, but when she saw Zhou Zonghan's handsome appearance through the red hijab, her unhappiness was also thrown aside. , she can make him a high-ranking official, and if he doesn't want to, he can also become a wealthy businessman. Anyway, Qi Lan has a lot of ideas.
The red candle was flickering, Zhou Zonghan lifted the bride's hijab with a scale, his heart was beating wildly, he really married a woman of high status, that's great.
Hugging Qi Lan, Zhou Zonghan whispered in her ear: "I will definitely not let you down."
Qi Lan chuckled, she thought she must have chosen the right man.
After Zhou Zonghan got married, Zhou Xu asked his mother, He Yanfei, to personally deliver something to his daughter-in-law: anti-fetal medicine.
Looking at He Yanfei, Qi Lan's heart was beating drums all the time, but He Yanfei smiled lightly and said: "Qi Lan, don't worry, we are not those cruel people, your child is born, and then we will tell you What's the point of claiming you were born premature."
Qi Lan had heard many things about this aunt from Zhou Zonghan's ears, and she was very wary of her at first, but at this moment her eyes were red. Of course she was happy to keep her child.
After He Yanfei left, Ruan Qin came. She was already showing signs of madness, singing and dancing all day long, like the former No. 1 prostitute in the south of the Yangtze River.
At this time she appeared in Zhou Zonghan's new house, Zhou Zonghan felt very uncomfortable, he really didn't want Qi Lan to see his biological mother like this.
"Little vixen, you are the one who seduced my son. I know it. You are uneasy and kind. I will kill you little bitch." Ruan Qin was about to beat Qi Lan.
Really couldn't stand it anymore, Zhou Zonghan pushed Ruan Qin away, and said sharply: "Mother, what are you doing?"
"You... you actually murdered me for such a little bitch?! I'm dead! I was wrong. Back then, I should have strangled you, an unfilial person who married a wife and forgot her mother. Let me tell you, hmph, even You don't want me anymore, I can still live by my songs, but there is a long queue of people who come to listen to my songs every day... "
While talking, Ruan Qin began to sing, the Youyou song matched with her no longer fresh voice, but there was an indescribable sadness, but this sadness was too inappropriate, especially in front of the newlyweds .
"Come here, take my mother back and serve her well." After all, he is married, and He Yanfei gave Zhou Zonghan a few maids and servants, so he is considered a person with some power at this time.
As soon as the boys went up, Ruan Qin started to yell crazily. Zhou Zonghan took a peek at Qi Lan's reaction and saw that there was no reaction on her face, so he let out a long sigh of relief.
A few months later, Qi Lan also knew about Zhou Zonghan's status in the Zhou family. Instead of being disappointed, she felt sorry for Zhou Zonghan, but she really gave birth prematurely.
So she, who was originally expected to give birth seven months after marriage, gave birth four months after marriage. If it was the former, there is nothing to say about the child's survival. After all, there is a folk saying that "seven lives and eight don't live", but now It was the latter, how could a four-month-old premature child survive, so General Zhou was furious and ordered Zhou Zonghan to either strangle the child to death or get out of Zhou's house.
During her confinement period, Qi Lan looked at her son and was very happy every day. When Zhou Zonghan came in with a dark face, Qi Lan was stunned. After she knew what happened, she became even more angry. Is this the so-called ancient times? ? Is she going to kill her child for the so-called fame
"Zong Han, let's leave Zhou's house, I will help you."
Zhou Zonghan shook his head, his eyes were a little sad, he was too powerless in the face of reality, this powerlessness made him very painful, "If we leave, your grandpa will not help you again, nor will the Zhou family help me, my future future It's ruined."
Qi Lan burst into tears: "Then you want to kill our child?"
Zhou Zonghan covered his head and sat on the edge of the bed, "I don't want to either."
"If you dare, Zhou Zonghan, I will let you die without a place to bury you." Qi Lan said through gritted teeth. As a mother, Qi Lan finally had a serious conflict with her husband for the first time.
"Then what do you want me to do? The Zhou family will definitely split up, but I will definitely not have a penny after the separation. I want to become an official. With the support of the Zhou family, it will be much more convenient. You don't know how dark the officialdom is." Know."
"So you have to sacrifice your own flesh and blood?"
"I don't want to either. Really, Qi Lan, don't blame me." After finishing speaking, Zhou Zonghan snatched the child and ran away. Poor Qi Lan was not strong enough because of too much bleeding during childbirth. past.
When Qi Lan woke up, her eyes were dull, Zhou Zonghan hugged her tightly, but Qi Lan pushed him away abruptly, so Zhou Zonghan hurriedly explained: "Qi Lan, the child is not dead, don't worry."
Qi Lan's eyes finally brightened, "What?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, I made it for others to see. I secretly sent the baby away. If you want to see it, you can see it at any time, but it must be hidden."
"real?"
"Well, but I sold part of your dowry, I hope you don't mind, it's all for the children."
Qi Lan finally laughed out: "Why would I mind, as long as the child is fine, it's better than anything else, but I won't be able to see him all the time in the future."
Zhou Zonghan gently helped Qi Lan wipe away her tears, and said distressedly: "I'm sorry, I was incompetent and made you wronged. I will definitely treat you even better in the future."
Qi Lan threw herself into Zhou Zonghan's arms, and the two fell asleep hugging each other.
But all of this is in Zhou Xu's eyes. As for why Qi Lan really gave birth prematurely, he naturally knows who did it, but he didn't plan to do anything, after all, the person who did it was his own mother .
The news of Qi Lan's premature birth was still spreading in the market after all. Zhou Xu was in a good mood and decided to find a way for the two of them to listen to those rumors together. I don't know how their faces will change. I really look forward to it.
On a fine day, Zhou Zonghan and Qi Lan went out together. It was true that the two hadn't relaxed for a long time, so they went to the most famous mandarin duck building in the capital together.
The two of them didn't want a private room, and sat in the lobby on purpose. They both liked the lively atmosphere where everyone was together.
While eating, the two of them were talking about their plans for the future, but the two of them had only eaten cold dishes, and before the hot dishes were served, the conversation at the next table could be heard.
"Hey, hey, Xiaoer is here, is there any new song?"
"There are new songs, I don't know what kind of music you guys want to hear."
"Be a little bit more colorful, let's have fun."
"Oh, that's true. It's about the granddaughter of Prime Minister Qi in our capital and the son of General Zhou's family. Do you want to hear it? Do you want to hear me ask Miss Chunxia to sing for you?"
"What's so good about this? Women should be soaked in pig cages. Pregnant before marriage. I heard that a child was born four months after the wedding. This must not be spread. In the end, the child was strangled to death by Zhou Zonghan .”
Another male voice sounded, "Why is this story still being circulated? It's so annoying to hear it every day. I went to the theater yesterday, and I heard that this story was changed into a play, just to satirize them. The man is cruel and merciless. Women don't obey women's morals, and as a result, they were thrown rotten eggs after two performances, really."
"I've heard that too. I heard that Mr. Zhou has several concubines outside, but he has no money in his hand, so he just prostitutes the young but extremely ugly, tsk tsk tsk..."
"That Qi girl is not a good girl. Before she got married, I heard that she had an affair with his cousin. I heard that she attended the banquet of Zhou Xu, the son of the Zhou family, to see Zhou Zonghan. In the end, she kept staring at him during the banquet. Look, which girl can do this, and she is not ashamed. I heard that I went out with Zhou Zonghan that night, night tour, meeting for the first time, hehehe... "
"Tch, then Zhou Zonghan was born of a prostitute. There is really a cub for every kind of mother. It's disgusting."
…
The more the next door said, the more outrageous it became, and the more they said it, the worse it sounded. The faces of Zhou Zonghan and Qi Lan became darker and darker. On the table not far away, there was a young man in blue with a silver fox mask covering his face. This person was none other than Zhou Xu.
The corners of the lips under the mask were slightly raised, and Zhou Xu realized that he really likes to watch people change faces. Look, the faces of Zhou Zonghan and Qi Lan have changed from red to white, and then from white to black.
"Crack!" Zhou Zonghan slapped his palm on the table, and everyone who was eating looked at him.
As a result, Zhou Zonghan just pulled Qi Lan up and walked away quickly, and the rest of the people began to discuss again: "Isn't that person Zhou Zonghan, tsk tsk tsk, it's really embarrassing to come out."
"Then that woman just now is the granddaughter of Prime Minister Qi? She looks pretty good, and I would like to try it if I have the chance, hahahaha..."
"Come on, people have to look up to you."
"What's wrong with me, I also have several shops in the capital, okay?"
…
A man in white at the railing on the second floor looked at the crowd downstairs with a cold expression. He said to the people behind him, "Go, invite the young man wearing the silver fox mask up."
"Yes, His Royal Highness."
