After saying this, she recalled the scene when Chen Xian hung over the sword mountain for her during the day, and was secretly annoyed - why did she not even have this courage and she was still silly when she said something.

Thinking of this, she slowly raised her head and tried hard to suppress the tension in her heart. Although her eyes stopped on Chen Xian's face, she still did not dare to look at him.

She bit her teeth gently, tried to increase her voice, and changed her name and said, "The official has already combed the little hairpin to redeem her body. I am already yours. I have a low status. Please pity..."

After hearing this, Xiaoli blushed, pursed her lips, and quietly took two steps back.

Lu Xiaochai's words seemed to remind Chen Xian of something suddenly. He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. His face no longer had the embarrassment he had just now. Instead, he held Lu Xiaochai's tenderness and pulled her to sit at the table: "Xiaochai, I want the matchmaker to marry him."

"What?" Lu Xiaochai and Xiaoli, who had been hiding from afar, were shocked when they heard this.

Lu Xiaochai looked at Chen Xian with disbelief, trying to find a slight joking meaning from his face, but she failed.

Chen Xian nodded sincerely at Lu Xiaochai and said loudly: "Xiaochai, I was just blinded by alcohol and forgot about my previous considerations."

"Official..." Lu Xiaochai opened her almond eyes and looked at the serious man in front of her.

In this era, marrying a wife and taking a concubine are different things.

A wife refers to the formal marriage of a Ming matchmaker, which is implemented in accordance with the provisions of the Book of Rites. First, you must ask the matchmaker to come to propose marriage. Only after you get the permission of the woman can you continue to ask for a name. Naji, Na Hui, ask for a date and welcome him. These six ministries are also called the "Six Lessons", which are the steps necessary to marry a wife seriously.

But the concubine is much simpler. She welcomes the person through the side door and welcomes the person into the house. At most, she hangs a few red silks in the inner courtyard, which is considered to have completed the procedure.

The status of wives and concubines in the family is completely different. The wife is the mistress in the family, while the concubine is only slightly higher than that of the servants, and even has the atmosphere of giving away and buying and selling at will.

Lu Xiaochai was once a famous brothel, but no matter how famous she is, she is the leader of the Hangzhou City, according to etiquette, at most she can only be taken as a concubine. The process is so simple that the man only needs to put on a combing banquet and tell everyone that the woman has been bought by me, and then take her home, even if she enters.

Chen Xian would never want the woman in front of him to enter the house in such a plain and even pitiful manner.

The reason is very simple. Not only is she beautiful and gentle, but she is also the first warmth she encountered when she came to this world, she is also the life-saving person who redeems herself from the prison.

Chen Xian has already done this kind of beauties alone, even if he goes up the knife mountain and goes down the oil pan! Now he will challenge customs and etiquette, and the red hangs and horses will personally welcome the bride, so she can't get married into the house in a big red wedding dress?

Chen Xian reached out to pinch Lu Xiaochai's nose slightly raised because of his nervousness, and said unquestionably: "Xiaochai, I must let you marry over with pride!"

After saying that, he seemed to feel his tone a little stiff, so he smiled again: "Let's rest early, let's go back to your hometown tomorrow..."

That night, at Chen Xian's strong request, Lu Xiaochai and his servant moved into the bedroom on the west side, while Chen Xian lay on the small couch in the study on the east side.

He tucked his mattress, blew the candlelight, smiled and closed his eyes in the dark, and tried hard to listen to the scattered whispers coming from over there.

"Miss...Mr. Chen, does Master really want..."

Lu Xiaochai lay on the bed with her lips pursed, staring at the tent beam above her head with apricot eyes, and replied softly: "Xiaoli, don't think too much. Officials should be impulsive. Such things are incompatible with etiquette and law. Officials are scholars. If they think about it tomorrow, they will regret it..."

"But the young master is not an ordinary scholar. Not only is he the best in poetry and literary talent in the world, but he is also handsome... What's more, no other scholars would have done such a horrifying move today..."

"Yes, he, he is the best scholar in this world..." Lu Xiaochai said this, suddenly closed her eyes and urged: "What do you want to do so much, go to bed quickly..."

...

When Chen Xian woke up the next morning, he felt the benefits of Lu Xiaochai entering the house. The melodious guqin gently woke him up. Xiaoli had already poured the hot water into the basin and waited for him to wash his face. Lu Xiaochai came over again to comb his black hair.

Chen Xian was really awkward to do these jobs before, so he repeatedly banned them.

However, by now, he has no choice but to ban it, and he is even more unwilling to ban it...

After having a simple but scenic breakfast, Liu Sen had already prepared the carriage, and rented two other carriages with thick curtains, waiting outside the window of the downward room.

Chen Xian, Lu Xiaochai, Su Xinchang and Yue Zheng's family waited in the yard for a while, and Mi Huang and Fan Dingbo arrived late.

"Brother Xingzhi!" Fan Dingbo bowed and said hello, then shook his folding fan and teased: "Brother Mi insisted on saying hello to Miss Xiangyun first this morning before coming here, so he was late to implicate him!"

"Haha!" Chen Xiansa smiled: "Dingbo is here too, it just so lively along the way."

A group of nine people got on three carriages and walked east along Zhugan Lane. They walked for a long time until they passed through Chunqing Gate to calculate Hangzhou City.

Hangzhou is only a short 100-mile distance from Songjiang, and it would be faster if it were water. However, perhaps because of the similar reason as Yue Zheng's escape, it was difficult to find a small fishing boat, let alone a passenger ship that could accommodate nine of them at once, so everyone had to choose the most bumpy land route.

As soon as he left Hangzhou Prefecture and drove onto the official road, he saw that the weeds and dead trees on the roadside had already sprouted green buds, and the sunlight was stronger than before. Chen Xian was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the courtesan competition on the fifteenth day was already Jingzhe. As the saying goes, "When it comes to Jingzhe, the yang energy rises, and the sky also warms up." Now it is twenty-three, it is less than ten days before, and spring is already in place. It's ridiculous that he thought it was still winter because he had snowed two times in a row.

There are not many pedestrians on the pipeline, and occasionally a few farmers or hawkers pass by with loads, and everything seems peaceful and quiet.

Chen Xian sighed softly. Although he couldn't remember the specific time,... the disaster from the Oirat that almost ruined the fate of the Ming Dynasty was approaching quietly like this spring?

Seeing that he frowned, Lu Xiaochai shook his head from time to time and sighed, and asked softly: "Chen Lang, what's the matter with worry?"

"I'm worried that something will happen because of my appearance..." Chen Xian said this, looking at Lu Xiaochai's face full of confusion, then he pulled her hand and smiled, "I don't know if it's good or bad? Or am I thinking too much?"

Butterfly effect... This is something Chen Xian has been worried about. He only wanted to be an ordinary idle noble man, and to do some inventions and creations if he had something to do... But this damn God actually made him meet the man who just came to this era and defended the tide to defend the capital and changed his fate to the Ming Dynasty!
