At that time, Su Hai was drinking tea and almost spit out a mouthful of tea.
Yao Jinzhi suddenly became displeased, and said, "What do you look like? Why do you refuse to marry a wife every time you mention it? You tell me how old you are. People say you stand at thirty, but you stand up now." without?"
Su Hai smiled dryly: "Mother, I naturally stood up, but the matter of marrying a wife depends on fate, it's not that I didn't come because of fate."
"You don't need to look for any fate, I've already made a decision for you, and now I just want to tell you that I'm going to be the groom's official."
"Hey, it's not my mother. Who did you choose for me? I haven't seen anyone yet, so you let me marry someone back. How can you marry a wife like this?" Seeing Yao Jinzhi leave after finishing speaking, Su Hai stood up hurriedly. Get up and stop her.
"Why don't you see that you don't stay at home all year round? Anyway, I don't care, people have already made a decision, and everyone in Beijing knows that when our family was like this before, the girl didn't betray our family and didn't come to the door to divorce. This Daughter-in-law, you have to marry me back no matter what, and you must treat her well for the rest of your life... "
As he said that, Yao Jinzhi began to cry, talking about Maodan Tiedan's marriage repentance, and saying that someone threw rotten vegetable leaves and manure at home. Su Datian had no choice but to go to the court to defend himself.
Ever since the Su family came out of Dali Temple, they never took the initiative to mention what happened during that time. Although Su Hai heard some from others, it was only what he heard. Afterwards, the family was very jealous, so he naturally didn't want to ask more questions. .
At this moment, besides being sad, it sounds more like anger and emotion.
"Okay, mother, I will listen to you."
"Really?" Yao Jinzhi asked, wiping away tears.
Su Hai nodded helplessly.
"Don't be reluctant when the time comes. The girl from the Zheng family is really nice. You can marry her back. I don't know which Bodhisattva I burned incense to in my previous life."
Su Hai held his mother's shoulders and said, "I burned incense for you. You were the Guanyin Bodhisattva in that temple in your previous life."
Yao Jinzhi smiled through his tears, and nodded at him: "Spoof, then it's settled."
After finishing speaking, she quickly left with a vigorous pace that didn't match her age, and she couldn't tell that she had cried a while ago.
And Su Hai couldn't see Mother's tricks, he just couldn't bear to let her down.
Are you really going to get married
If you say you haven't thought about getting married, you'd be lying. Many years ago, Su Hai knew that a man should marry a wife and have children when he was old. But at that time, the Su family was poor, he liked others, but others looked down on him. Later, so many things happened that he was always wasted.
Later, when I went to the border, I really didn't want to think about it, because I knew that maybe I would give away this hundred and dozens of catties at some point to marry a wife and have children? That's not dragging people down.
Then it dragged on like this year after year, and the more I dragged on, the more I felt that being alone was pretty good, but now he was going to get married. I don't know what kind of girl Zheng is. Is it really as good as what your mother said
Since the Zheng family didn't regret the marriage at the beginning, at this time the Su family proposed to get the marriage done while the time was right, so naturally they had nothing to disagree with.
In fact, after the Su family was imprisoned in Dali Temple, the Zheng family also had a quarrel for a while over whether to regret their marriage.
It's just that he couldn't see the Su family at all at that time, and Zheng Yushi couldn't face the matter of forcefully coming to the door to ask his daughter Yan Tie to come back. He never expected that things would turn around.
Su Hai came back, and the Su family was rehabilitated. It can be said that there is another village in the shadows.
At the beginning, the marriage of the two had already been prepared, and it was delayed because Su Hairen didn't come back. Now that everything is ready-made, it is natural to arrange it quickly.
Not to mention that the Zheng family was beaming and preparing to marry their daughter, while the Mao and Huang families were filled with regret.
If there were no accidents, His Majesty would definitely increase Su Hai's promotion in order to make up for it. Now that the court is already discussing the future, if there is no accident, the imperial concubine will be righted.
The descendants plus the title of Uncle Yongshun, plus Su Hai, a young and promising commander-in-chief, where to find such a marriage, you may miss this one, and you will not be able to meet it in a few lifetimes.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Mao came to Su's house with a cheeky face.
In the name of visiting Mrs. Su, she was actually Miao Cuixiang. She knew that Yao Jinzhi was not easy to mess with, but Miao Cuixiang was a humble person, and she might be able to persuade Mrs. Su, so there was room for change in this matter.
But what she never expected was that Miao Cuixiang was not easy to deal with.
Miao Cuixiang has a thick face and a strong mouth. If someone offends her, she can talk about it for years. The fact that the Mao family came to withdraw from the marriage before this is still vivid in my memory, and now I want to go back on my word
Nonsence.
Miao Cuixiang didn't yell at her, but just changed what Mrs. Mao said about the Su family before and gave it back to her.
"The Mao family is a scholarly family, and our Su family is just a small family. When we got married, our family felt a little uneasy. We felt that we were admiring your family. After so many things happened, your family took the initiative to come to the door Withdrawing from the marriage, our family thought about it for a while, the twisted melon is not sweet, so let's withdraw.
"Our children are well-equipped with hands and feet, and their looks are not bad. Although the father is not good-for-nothing, but there is an aunt of the imperial concubine and an uncle who is the commander-in-chief. There must be no worries about marriage. Take a look at your family The dowry has been returned to our family, it’s like the water that was thrown out, it can’t be taken back, what our family wants is marriage, not enmity, you should hurry back.”
Mrs. Mao's face was flushed with embarrassment, but she still wanted to redeem her: "No matter how high or low the family is, our family is just a small family."
Miao Cuixiang laughed twice, and squinted at people: "You still know that you are a small family, I thought your Mao family thought you were a wealthy family, how terrible. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, when the Su family considered The Mao family just thinks that the Mao family was born in Qingliu and the population is simple. Although it is a small family, there are not so many troubles. But who would have thought that there are still so many troubles in such a small family? If you say it, you can only share wealth and wealth, but not share adversity, and now my family thinks your family is too small."
"Hurry up, I don't have time to talk to you."
After all the words were said, Miao Cuixiang drove her away directly. Naturally, Mrs. Mao couldn't wait to leave, she covered her face with a veil and left.
After she left, Miao Cuixiang took a sip, and then ordered the servants: "In the future, no one from the Mao family will be allowed to enter again."
"yes."
Anyway, from Miao Cuixiang's point of view, the Mao family's skin is thick enough.
Even if it was her, since she did that kind of thing back then, she would be ashamed to go back and make amends now. But she never expected that there was more than one thick-skinned person. Not long after Mrs. Mao left, the Huang family also sent someone to the door.
It's very refreshing to say what the other party said back to the other party's face, but Miao Cuixiang is not mean after all, so it's tiring to deal with two people in a row.
When the family had dinner at night, she told the story and comforted the two sons, telling them not to think too much, and they would definitely find a better wife in the future.
Unexpectedly, Su Zhaoming had other ideas.
"Mom, I'm still young and I don't want to get married."
Miao Cuixiang's eyes slanted: "Why didn't I hear you say that you are young and don't want to get married?"
The movement here also attracted the attention of Su Datian and Yao Jinzhi, including Su Hai, all looked at their nephew.
Su Zhaoming hesitated and said nothing, Miao Cuixiang was in a hurry.
"What are you thinking, brat, tell me the truth!"
Su Zhaoming endured it, and finally said loudly: "Since you asked me to say it, mother, I will say it. I have thought about it. Only a man can start a family when he has a career. I plan to go to the border with my second uncle when he returns to the border. , it won’t be too late for my son to come back and get married after he has made a career out of it.”
"What did you say? You actually want to go to the border. People go there?" Realizing that she was wrong, Miao Cuixiang hurriedly explained to Su Hai: "Second Uncle, I didn't mean you, I mean This kid doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and he doesn't know how many catties he weighs."
"Anyway, I've already made up my mind. I'm going to go to the border with my second uncle, and I'm going to make contributions." Although Su Zhaoming's face still looked green, it was full of determination.
"You boy is so mad at me..."
Su Hai laughed, and patted his nephew on the shoulder: "What a boy, he has great ambition, but life in the military camp is very bitter, and most people can't hold on."
"Second Uncle, I'm sure I can hold on..."
Miao Cuixiang saw that the uncle and nephew were chatting speculatively, and the rest of the family didn't speak, so she quickly turned her eyes to the face of the eldest son.
Seeing that Su Zhaojia's expression was wrong, he hurriedly said, "What about you? Don't tell me, you think so too?"
Compared with his younger brother, Su Zhaojia is obviously a lot more refined. He can be regarded as the only scholar in the Su family. He is full of bookishness and looks gentle.
To use Su Jiang's words, it doesn't look like the Su family, but this is not derogatory, Su Jiang is very proud when he says this.
"I'm afraid my son's physique will not go to the border, so I plan to give it a try next year in the imperial examination, maybe I can get some fame back. What Zhaoming said is right, a man will start a career and then start a family. After this incident, my son always feels that if At that time, if I had some ability, I wouldn’t let my family suffer that kind of suffering, but I was completely helpless.”
Obviously, the occurrence of this incident has an impact on the Su family. At least these two juniors have begun to think about their own future and life, instead of listening to the family in everything like before.
It is good for a man to be ambitious. If Su Zhaojia and Su Zhaoming are still muddled, even if they are honest and do not cause trouble, they may be a Su Jiang again in a few years.
It's not that there is anything wrong with Su Jiang, it's just that his identity and status have changed, so maybe he should think about the future.
"Okay, good boys, you all have ambitions. Brother, you gave birth to two good sons."
Hearing this, Su Jiang squinted his eyes and smiled. He didn't even think about the danger of the second child going to the border, so that after the couple went back to the room, Miao Cuixiang had a violent fight with him. He said that he didn't care about his son as soon as he was proud.
It can be said that the talk is the talk, and since the words of agreement are spoken, Su Jiang is not easy to go back on his word.
And if it is said that Su Jiang does not want his two sons to be successful in the future, it must be a lie. He has no future and no ability. Who doesn't want his son to be able to make a career in the future.
Not to mention being like his second uncle, at least he has to break out into a world, and he won't be called to withdraw from the marriage, and he doesn't even have the confidence to say no.
Now that the matter is settled, Yao Jinzhi and Su Datian will inevitably worry about their second grandson, but they also understand that young people should have their own world.
Maybe they didn't understand before that the so-called life was nothing more than mediocrity, and they were busy running around all day long to feed themselves. Now that their identities have changed, it is time to think about other things.
The affairs of the DPRK and China about Li Hou went very smoothly.
Just as Zong Cong said, no minister would object at this stage, even if there are some discordant voices, but the general trend is like this, and it will not be a big deal.
After Pan'er was established, it was settled like this.
It was also rare to see her so hesitant and entangled, so Zong Cong's imperial decree was issued very quickly, almost passing through the hall, and the next day the imperial decree was issued.
When the imperial decree came down and the empress conferment ceremony was in preparation, Pan'er didn't hesitate to get entangled.
What is there to hesitate about? A person's life will always face various changes, both good and bad, and what people can do is to face it calmly. It doesn't make sense that she could endure the deposed empress dominating her head for more than ten years, but now that she is a queen, she is not used to it.
No matter how difficult it is to be a queen, she doesn't think she will do worse than a deposed queen. Besides, the queen is the emperor's wife first, and then the mother of a country.
Wife, as long as she thinks about this matter, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are, she feels nothing.
Isn't this what I want most in my two lifetimes
It's just that I didn't dare to think about it before, and I couldn't think about it. I never thought that it would be easy to get now.
Just as the palace was preparing for the Empress Dowager Ceremony, Su Hai's wedding ceremony also took place as scheduled.
Uncle Yongshun’s mansion was full of guests that day. Originally, the Su family did not intend to entertain so many guests. It was Miao Cuixiang who entered the palace and told Pan Er about it. Pan Er said that the family should prepare as much as possible. a lot of.
Miao Cuixiang was still a little dubious, and Yao Jinzhi and the others were also hesitant to prepare too much, whether there would be not so many guests at that time, and it would be embarrassing and wasteful. It was Su Hai who said it, so he did what his mother told him to do.
On the right day, there will be an endless stream of guests from the morning onwards.
Some still know which family and household know their names, some don’t even know their names, some are clinging to the hot stove, and some really feel sorry for the Su family before, but now they hold weddings and give gifts at home Just take it as an apology.
The two are probably half to half, no matter what, the visitors are all guests.
This is a rare event in Beijing and China since the border war broke out. It is estimated that many people, not so many, have come to the Su family to express their congratulations.
As dusk approached, the procession to pick up the relatives headed for Zheng's house.
Originally, Su Hai planned to bring Fu Qing, Song Ming, and a few more soldiers. After all, he didn't have many friends in Beijing, but there were countless people who came together to help pick up his relatives.
The scenery is extremely beautiful and the scene is extremely lively.
Zheng Yushi has been entangled in his heart for more than a year, and finally let go.
When I saw my eldest daughter, I was about to go to someone else's house, and I couldn't help crying.
After sending off the pick-up team, the younger sister of the Zheng family patted Dad on the arm and said, "Father, don't be afraid, I will still be there in the future, and I will know what my sister knows. When you come back with your salary, leave it to me." .”
Zheng Yushi hummed, and then he realized what it was and what it was.
On the branches of the moon, the guests are all scattered.
Su Hai saw off the guests and returned to the new house.
There is a piece of red between the eyes, and the dragon and phoenix candles are burning brightly, making everything in front of you seem a little dreamlike.
Zheng Xiuying had already taken off her wedding dress, and put on homely clothes, and her face was cleaned, revealing her delicate appearance.
Su Hai was relieved. To be honest, when he lifted the hijab earlier, he took a look. The bride was beautiful, but she looked a bit like a wooden man, and he was still a little worried.
"You go to bed first, don't wait for me, I'll take a bath."
"The concubine should wait for her husband."
Because of the word "husband", Su Hai, who has never poured a thousand cups, slipped a little bit, but he was very good at kicking, but no one noticed, but his movements to the bathroom were a little hasty.
After washing for a quarter of an hour, the two went to the bed in embarrassment, and lay down on the bed again.
Through the curtain, the high candles outside are not so dazzling, and the room is very quiet.
Su Hai lay there, thinking he should say something.
"Originally, I wanted to go to your house to ask you, but I was willing to marry me, but I thought that your family didn't regret the marriage like before, so I thought I was willing. Don't worry, I will treat you well in the future."
"Um."
Because the post-sealing ceremony had not yet been held, and Pan'er was used to living in Jingren Palace, he did not move to Kunning Palace. Instinctively, she also has a certain rejection of Kunning Palace, probably because it used to be the residence of Empress Chen.
Zong Cong said that the Kunning Palace should be overhauled. Pan'er thought about Jizhou, which was still at war, and said that it should be released first. Just put it there and meet the wives.
Zong Cong didn't object either, it was just a formality anyway.
Some people care about this form, and some people don't care. The way he and Yuanyuan get along these years are no doubt like ordinary couples.
Pan'er got up very early today because she was worried that the newlyweds Su Hai would enter the palace to thank her.
It just so happened that Zong Cong was going to go to court, and the two of them went to the bathroom to wash up together, of course the two bathrooms were separated.
When he came back, Pan'er combed his hair.
If he has time, if he catches up with the time, Zong Cong's hair is always combed by Pan Er. Anyway, Pan Er thinks it is much easier to comb Zong Cong's hair than to comb his own hair.
There are no tricks, and there is no need to put any hair in a bun, just tie it up separately, fix it on the top of the head, and rub a hosta.
Then put on the crown again.
"Su Hai and his wife are going to enter the palace today, and I have to tidy up myself later." Pan'er said while tidying Zong Cong's clothes.
"Finally willing to dress up?" He casually smoothed the sideburns that fell next to her cheeks, and said with a smile.
It's not that Pan'er doesn't want to dress up, she usually dresses up a little, but she doesn't dress up so gorgeously like ordinary concubines.
Crowns, heavy jewelry and the like should be avoided as much as possible.
Women nowadays pay special attention to the decoration on the hair bun, but too gorgeous and delicate jewelry means that it is very heavy, just like the imperial concubine can wear eight phoenix hairpins according to the regulations, and it is inevitable to wear such a set, top-heavy.
Every time there is a banquet in the palace, Pan'er puts on a lot of make-up according to the regulations, and after a day, her scalp hurts and her head and neck hurt. I used to be fine when I was young, but now the older I get, the less I want to do these fancy things.
"It's like I don't usually dress up." She said angrily.
Zong Cong laughed, touched her cheek and left.
Pan'er turned her head back to the dressing table, and it was up to Bai Shu and the others to clean up for her.
Just half dressed here, someone came to report that Su Zongbing and his wife had entered the palace. According to the rules, they had to go to the Qianqing Palace first, so after Pan'er finished cleaning up here, they went to sit on the kang, and Su Hai and his wife also We have reached the gate of Jingren Palace.
"See Empress Dowager."
After the two of them saluted one by one, Pan Er hurriedly called out and gave him a seat again.
After the two sat down, she looked at Su Hai, and then at the newlyweds.
Seeing the groom's face flushed, and the bride's shyness, Pan'er guessed that the newlyweds should be quite harmonious.
Harmony is good, and Pan'er also hopes that Su Hai's future life will not only be wars at the border, but also be harmonious with his wife, Qin Se, and have children and grandchildren around their knees.
Later, in the process of speaking, Pan'er saw that Zheng Xiuying was shy, but her speech and behavior were very generous, and whenever Su Hai was mentioned or saw Su Hai, there would always be a strange light in her eyes.
Pan'er understood what that radiance was, and she felt relieved ever since.
If you don't mention it, it will soon be the day of the Queen's Closure Ceremony.
When the Empress Sealing Ceremony began and the bells and drums rang together, the movement in the palace could be faintly heard throughout the Forbidden City, the entire inner city, and even the outer city.
We all know that this is the ceremony of the new empress.
This news naturally spread to Xianfu Palace.
"What's that sound?" Fu Chun, who was stunned, couldn't react for a while, and then realized that it was the empress who was asking her.
"This is, this is..." She hung her head and hesitated.
Dressed in a plain shirt, her jet-black hair was no longer beautiful, but turned into a kind of dry, gray-black waste. She suddenly waved her hand: "What the hell is this sound? Why is it so loud?"
Fu Chun thought about not being able to provoke the empress, so he hurriedly said: "Maybe there is some kind of banquet in the palace." But he didn't dare to lift his head.
"Go and block it, all the doors and windows are closed, it's too noisy, it's really too noisy..."
Fu Chun hurriedly went to close the doors and windows everywhere, but didn't notice that the abandoned queen who was originally insane stopped in mid-air with her waving hands, but tears fell from her eyes.
"It's too noisy, too noisy..."
She said, then silently turned and entered the inner room.
