Chapter 54 Bo Xinglang

"Yanniang, I haven't seen each other for many days. I miss you day and night, looking through the autumn water.

Seeing that the cold winter has arrived and the snow is frozen, Yan Niang has always been weak, and I wonder what she has in her body recently?"

"I often recall the past when I recite poems and essays with Yan Niang, and brew tea with warm wine and tea. I couldn't help but burst into tears, tossing and turning.

Whenever I remember the vow of "Growing Up with You" in the past, my heart was full of twists and turns, and it suddenly started to stir. I could not let go of the past, nor could I let go of my concern for Yan Niang..."

"I have sent ten letters, but I wonder if Yan Niang received my wish?

If you receive it, will it not dare to reply to me due to the tyranny of the Marquis of Pingyang?

I have heard that the Marquis of Pingyang is a vicious and vicious person who kills countless lives. I believe that Yan's mother must be terrified every day and bullied, and dare not speak out if she dares to be angry..."

"I often see Yan Niang crying with pear blossoms in my dreams, and I can't help but feel heartbroken. I was a poor scholar and I felt very lucky to meet Yan Niang in this life.

Although Yiren has married someone else, I can't bear to see Yan Niang alone in the purgatory place of the Marquis of Pingyang. After thinking about it, I finally wrote this letter to express my loyalty to Yan Niang--although I have no fame and fortune, and my family is all over the walls, but I am willing to give up all my concerns for Yan Niang and never leave them."

"If one day, Yan Niang intends to divorce the Marquis of Pingyang, I will come to the door immediately to express my intentions and ask for marriage to Yan Niang.

In this life, I only wish to have a pair of people with Yan Niang for the rest of my life, and only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals…”

On the peach blossom paper, there are three pages of small hairpins written in densely packed with hairpins.

Gu Xiyan looked down one by one, and couldn't help but tremble all over his body.

What a affectionate man who is full of steadfast words!

Although the atmosphere in the Great Yan Dynasty is open, it is still difficult for women in the boudoir to make a living for life. If it is spread, it will definitely be despised!

In the last life, Shi Jingyuan knew that this world was very demanding of women, but he was still half a cheating and half a seduced person with her, and decided to live a lifelong life!

If you hire a wife, you will be a concubine.

Since ancient times, women have no good endings when they elope with others. If the elopement is broken, it will be a shame for the woman's reputation and will only live a life of stagnation in the rest of their lives.

In the last life, Shi Jingyuan was like this today. In his letter, he was so slick and slick, tempting her and Xiao Rang and Li in every way, causing her and Xiao Rang to have countless conflicts and quarrels out of thin air, and even reaching a situation where he cannot turn back!

She was young and did nothing at that time, and thought that Shi Jing's original sentence was from the heart, which was caused by true feelings.

Unexpectedly, when things came to an end, Shi Jingyuan turned against her and put her in a situation where everyone shouted and beat her up.

It turns out that those words of faith are all the sweethearts and fools.

...

Gu Xiyan suppressed his anger and held the letter paper tightly in his palms, rolled it into a ball, and threw it hard on the ground.

A full of hatred surged up, Gu Xiyan held the small square table with a heavy breath and took a few breaths before he recovered.

Hong Fei stood beside her hands, and she didn't dare to say anything when she saw this.

After berating his wife married into the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, Shi Jingyuan sent several letters that were shameless and shameless. When Gu Xiyan read the contents of the letter, he was so angry that he was furious.

Hong Fei didn't know what was written in the letter. At first, she couldn't help but worry that her lady was deceived by the frivolous sect. Later, whenever she saw Gu Xiyan's extremely displeased appearance, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Being angry at such a worthless person is inevitable.

Hong Fei once advised Gu Xiyan to "whether to refuse to accept the letter from Prince Shi", but Gu Xiyan shook his head and refused.

"Miss, the master's wife has sent a message..."

In the room, Indigo came in with a joyful look on the curtain. As soon as he was halfway through his words, he saw Gu Xiyan’s face pale and lying on the pillow of the brocade bed in a daze. He immediately asked, “What’s wrong with Miss?

But you feel uncomfortable?"

Gu Xiyan waved his hand, "What did your father and mother say?"

Indigo Yu had no choice but to continue, "The master's wife asked the manager of the family to pass on the message, saying that the eldest young master's marriage has been decided, and it will be the third day of next month!"

In the Great Yan Dynasty, the marriage of men and women needs to follow the "six rituals" - one nakai, two nakai, three nakai, four nakai, five nakai, six nakai.

That day, after the Gu family and Du family met with their children, both families were very satisfied with the marriage.

Later, Gu Zhaowen and the Du family's legitimate daughter exchanged Geng Tie in a rush and asked the person who opened the eyes of the sky to arrange the birth date. The fortune teller praised the two for being a rare combination of the eight characters.

When the two families heard these half-true and half-false auspicious words, they were all full of joy and even put the engagement on the agenda.

Yesterday, Gu’s father, Gu Wanqian, and the matchmaker, went to the Gu family to personally send a betrothal gift. He also took out the good day calculated based on the birth dates and horoscopes of Gu Zhaowen and the Du family’s legitimate daughter, solicited the opinions of the elders of the Du family, and selected the wedding date.

The engagement has been completed, and the marriage has finally been decided.

But the third day of next month is the wedding day, and all kinds of matters are very complicated and trivial - from what pattern is used on the brazier on the wedding day to the selection of the "Quanfu people" who accompany the bride all day long... no matter how big or small, someone needs to take care of it carefully.

With such a big happy event at home, Gu Xiyan, as the daughter of a monk, naturally had to go back to her parents' home to share the worries of her mother Gu Lin and grandmother Gu Jiang.

What's more, she was now in a state of anger with Xiao Rang. At this critical moment, she went back to her parents' home for a few days to live without seeing her, which was also excellent.

Gu Xiyan picked up the sky-blue tea cup at hand, drank a sip of rhinoceros tea, opened his lips and said, "Give me instructions, I'll take a carriage and go back to my parents' home tomorrow."

Hong Fei couldn't help but say, "Miss, have you ever asked the Marquis..."

“No need.”

Gu Xiyan's eyes were red and he interrupted, "Anyway, the Marquis doesn't care where I went! Why bother to tell him, to upset him for nothing!"

When Hong Fei and Indigo Yu heard this, they looked at each other silently, and finally responded with a nervous expression, "Yes".

Gu Xiyan calmed down for a while, looked at the wrinkled letter paper on the ground, and said, "Create this letter to clean up."

In the last life, the Gu family was killed by the political enemy Wang family and was almost destroyed. However, Shi Jingyuan defected to the Wang family at this time. Gu Xiyan had enough reason to suspect that Shi Jingyuan was the traitor who betrayed the Gu family. It was very likely that he and the Wang family turned against each other and framed the Gu family in a desperate situation.

In this life, if Gu Xiyan had not been worried about Shi Jing's unusual movements and wanted to follow the clues to catch the mastermind who framed the Gu family, she would not have suppressed the disgust in her heart, and look at the letters written by the unkind and righteous person again!

Gu Xiyan took another sip of rhinoceros tea, forcing him not to think about the disgusting and disgraceful person.

...

The next morning, the morning court was dispersed in the Golden Palace, and all civil and military officials slowly stepped out of the palace, all covered with dark clouds.

This morning, Emperor Cheng'an was furious when he heard the remarks of the disaster in Jiangnan.

This emperor who believed deeply in Buddhism has never easily revealed his attitude and position in front of his ministers, but now he is out of control and unshirkable to the civil and military officials.

The emperor was ordered to heaven, as it was written in "The Book of Rites: Doctrine of the Mean" - "The country will prosper, and there will be good fortune; the country will perish, and there will be evil spirits."

Over the years, this deep-minded emperor has laid out the Dayan Dynasty into a Tai Chi Bagua diagram, with multiple forces restraining each other, restraining each other, and gathering together with the royal power.

But being too skilled in the emperor's scheming will inevitably neglect the suffering of the people.

In Emperor Cheng'an's anger, he was more afraid - he was afraid that this was the instruction given by God to "the monarch has no virtue".

Therefore, Emperor Cheng'an did not immediately pursue the responsibility of the officials of Jiangnan Road for deceiving the disaster, but immediately ordered the Minister of Revenue to take several ships of emperor food to go south to provide relief. He also ordered the Minister of Rites to prepare a ceremony for worshiping the sky the next day. At that time, all civil and military officials would go to the Temple of Heaven to beg for good weather and peace and prosperity.

In addition, Emperor Cheng'an also issued an edict to persuade Jiangnan to participate in disaster relief, recruiting rich people to give out millet, and according to the amount of grain donated, he was given official positions with no real power at all levels.

Once these three decrees were issued, all the ministers received the order. Those who were guilty hoped to repay the merits, while those who were innocent hoped to achieve merits and achievements. They were all ulterior motives.

...

After leaving the palace gate, the carriage walked along Zhuque Street for a long time and came to a downtown neighborhood.

There were crowds of people outside, Xiao Rang frowned and lifted the curtain, and suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Since that day, Xiao Rang and Shen Jie had a heart-to-heart talk, the two seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding. Every time they met, they always bowed and greeted each other. If they met during the court, they would go together.

The two people who have never had any intersection suddenly became like old friends.

When the civil and military officials next to him saw it, they had long been shocked to see it.

However, Xiao Rang is a domineering and casual person, how could he care about other people's opinions?

Then Shen Jie is also a person with a strong personality. Even Emperor Cheng'an on the Nine Dragons Royal Roof dares to provoke him. How could he care about others' discussions about his deliberate "flattering the Marquis of Pingyang"?

"Sir Shen, there are so many people in the downtown area. I wonder why I am here?"

As soon as Shen Jie left the fruit shop, he was stopped by someone. After looking closely, he realized that the carriage that was stopped in front of him was the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

"See Marquis Pingyang."

Shen Jie bowed and raised the paper bag in his hand, and explained with a smile, "Shen comes to buy some fruits."

My wife is pregnant and always likes to eat sweet and sour foods.

The plums in this fruit shop are a masterpiece in Beijing. My wife ordered a name to eat, so Mr. Shen had to take the order to buy them.”

"Men is superior to women" and "female is inferior to women" are popular throughout the dynasties, and there are many "male men" in this world.

Unexpectedly, Lord Shen was not as sour as the literati next to him. Not only was he not ashamed to say that he was "afraid of his wife" when he was called to run errands, he was not only embarrassed to speak out, but he actually expressed his true feelings as usual.

Looking at Lord Shen who was sent by his wife to buy snacks, Xiao Rang pursed his thin lips, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Then, Shen Jie said again, "The plums in this fruit shop have always been very popular. They will be discontinued after selling them every day. If you want to buy them, you can only wait for the next day to arrive early.

Since the Marquis came today, why not buy some for Mrs. Hou back?"

Xiao Rang beats Xiao Jinzun and Yugui, and he always rushes to go out. How could he ever do the thing of "buying snacks for others by themselves"?

But at this time, after listening to Shen Jie's suggestion, Xiao Rang suddenly remembered that Gu Xiyan really liked to eat these dried plums on weekdays, so he nodded and agreed, "In this way, I will buy some."

The name of the fruit shop is extremely interesting, with the three big characters "Sweet as Honey" flying dragons and phoenixes dancing, which makes people feel inexplicably relaxed.

In the store, the owner of the fruit shop and the seller looked at Xiao Rang who was raising his legs and walking into the door, but his heart was trembling.
