Chapter 1469 On the great day, Emperor Qing’s decisive attack
February 18th!
This season, the weather has gradually warmed up, and today is the wedding day of Zhou Chen, the Duke of Qingguo Town, and Zhan Pianpian, the eldest princess of Northern Qi.
Zhou Chen had already gotten up in the early morning, and Sang Wen also didn't sleep. Instead, he helped Zhou Chen bathe and change clothes.
Although there are maids and servants at home, most things about Zhou Chen are now sorted out by Sang Wen himself.
Today was the day when her beloved man got married to another woman, but she didn't feel sad at all. Instead, she was equally happy.
The most important thing for a person is to be able to recognize himself, and Sang Wen is a woman with this kind of wisdom. She knows who she is, and she is satisfied if she can be favored by Zhou Chen. She has never thought about getting more.
, she just thought wholeheartedly that as long as Zhou Chen could always be well and could keep her by his side, she would be satisfied.
She even hopes that Zhou Chen and Zhan Pianpian will get married soon, because only after they get married can she really become Zhou Chen's concubine.
Although she is willing to stay with Zhou Chen if she has no name and no status, if she can have a name, she is willing to be a concubine. At least it is much better than being without a name and no status.
After meeting Zhou Chen, she had no other thoughts and just wanted to stay by Zhou Chen's side.
Sang Wen, who was arranging Zhou Chen's clothes, said with a bright smile: "Young Master looks really good today."
It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, not to mention that Zhou Chen is already very good-looking, but in her eyes, there is no better-looking man in the world than Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen said: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, not at all. If I could, I would be willing to help the young master dress and tidy up for the rest of my life."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Then you have to remember this sentence."
Sang Wen responded softly: "Yes."
Time passed bit by bit, and the sky gradually turned from dark to dim and bright.
The Chinese wedding custom since ancient times has been to welcome the bride in the morning and hold the wedding ceremony at dusk.
The same is true in this 'future era'. Zhou Chen needs to set off from the mansion in the early morning and go to the post house to welcome the bride Zhan Pianpian to the mansion. At dusk, the wedding ceremony will be performed, and finally she will be sent to the bridal chamber to complete the wedding.
The wedding team in the mansion has been prepared for a long time. As soon as the auspicious time arrives, the wedding team will set off immediately under the leadership of Zhou Chen.
As the Duke of Qing, although Zhou Chen did not serve in the imperial court, as someone with the highest title of a different surname, he still married a princess from another country, and Emperor Qing ordered it.
Therefore, the specifications of this wedding are top-notch, whether it is the team, wedding supplies, guests, etc., it is very high-profile.
Zhou Chen's Zhenguo Gong's Mansion is not far from the post house, but it needs to pass through several streets, and the queue to welcome the bride is very long, so the speed of movement will naturally be slow.
Because the wedding route of the two people had already been decided, people from the court had already been responsible for clearing the road. When the wedding procession passed by, there would be no one in the middle of the road.
Class privileges in feudal society were not just talk, but a real existence.
Today, there were many people gathered around the post house, most of them came to watch the fun.
Although Zhou Chen rarely participates in those lively occasions, this time it was a wedding event, so he sent invitations to some of the dignitaries in Kyoto who he had dealt with.
Fan Mansion, Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing all came to Fan Xian's yard.
"Sir, you must go to the Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion today to attend the wedding of Zhen Guo Gong and the Princess of Northern Qi. I will go with you then."
Wang Qinian said to Fan Xian with a happy face.
Teng Zijing stared at the invitation in Wang Qinian's hand with a look of jealousy and envy on his face, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
"The Duke of Zhen will actually send you a message. How can you be so proud?"
Wang Qinian clapped the post in his hand very proudly, with a smile on his face.
"That's what the relationship between me and Duke Zhen was like. We were..."
"Okay, Lao Wang, please stop bragging. You just led the way for Duke Zhen, and you also took money from them. How many times do you have to say this?"
Fan Xian couldn't help but roll his eyes at Wang Qinian. Wang Qinian had told them five, six, seven or nine times about guiding Zhou Chen, and his ears were calloused.
"Sir, that's not what you said. Look, isn't the Duke of Zhen Guo sending me an invitation? This is called friendship."
Wang Qinian felt that his feet were starting to feel trembling. This was an invitation from the Duke of Zhen. No one could get it. However, he was just a clerk from the Inspection Institute, but he could make Zhou Chen remember it and send him an invitation.
,How much face is this.
Although he thinks money is the most important thing, sometimes it is also very good to have face.
"Look, sir, doesn't Teng Zijing not have one?"
Teng Zijing, who was already angry, swung his clothes and fired several flying knives at Wang Qinian. Wang Qinian smiled and dodged the slow flying knives.
"Hey, you can't hit me."
Fan Xian stopped Wang Qinian: "Old Wang, don't be poor. Duke Zhen Guo invited you, so you probably didn't forget to prepare a gift, right?"
Hearing this, Wang Qinian's face felt painful, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I have spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to prepare a gift. Sir, you have to give me a salary, otherwise you will accept it.
In the next few months, my Baba couldn’t even eat pork belly.”
Teng Zijing snorted coldly: "Old Wang, you are so shameless."
"Hey, thanks for the compliment."
…………
In the East Palace, the prince had already gotten up and was having breakfast when his subordinates came to report.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Duke Zhen has already gone out to welcome the bride."
"Have all the gifts I asked you to prepare ready been packed?"
"Already installed."
"Well, watch the time and don't delay."
In the second prince's residence, the second prince is also paying attention to the situation in the Zhou Mansion, and he is even more concerned about it.
Now he and Fan Xian have completely fallen out with each other, and they even have the idea of ​​killing each other, so at this time, he is the one who wants to win over Zhou Chen the most.
Zhou Chen himself is the Grand Master and the person he is trying to win over. Now Zhou Chen is getting married to the Princess of Northern Qi. If he can have a good relationship with Zhou Chen and get Zhou Chen's support, it will be of great significance.
Maybe even Northern Qi can become his arm.
Lin Ruofu was also planning to go to the Zhou Mansion. He didn't have much friendship with Zhou Chen, but they had some interactions, so he would naturally go to Zhou Chen's wedding.
There are also many dignitaries in Kyoto. Even if they did not receive the invitation, many of them shamelessly went to the Zhou Mansion with gifts.
Inspection Institute.
Chen Pingping was sitting in a wheelchair, watering the flowers in the corner, while Shadow stood next to him and waited.
"The congratulatory gift was delivered to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion?"
"It's already been sent to you. Do you really want to go?"
Chen Pingping shook her head and said: "It's such a happy day for others. Why would I, an old and disabled person, go there? I won't go."
At this moment, Yan Ruohai suddenly ran over in a hurry, holding a piece of paper in his hand.
"Dean."
When Chen Pingping saw Yan Ruohai's solemn expression, she also stopped what she was doing.
"What happened?"
Yan Ruohai said in a deep voice: "Information from two hours ago revealed Ye Liuyun's whereabouts thirty miles away from Kyoto."
Chen Pingping's back suddenly straightened up and she asked urgently: "Ye Liuyun, are you sure?"
"Sure." Yan Ruohai answered with certainty.
Chen Pingping's expression suddenly became very strange, her brows were knitted together, and she fell into deep thought.
Shadow was also very shocked: "Grand Master Ye Liuyun, he hasn't been back to Kyoto for many years. Hasn't he been traveling outside? How could he suddenly return to Kyoto at this time and be discovered by people from the Inspection Institute?"
Chen Pingping's face suddenly changed, and she shouted to Shadow eagerly: "Shadow, are you going to find Duke Zhen and tell him about Ye Liuyun's entry into the capital?"
Shadow was about to ask, but Chen Pingping didn't give him the chance.
"Go now, use the fastest speed, and be sure to notify Zhou Chen."
At this point, he suddenly paused again: "If you find that something cannot be done, don't hesitate to leave immediately and run as far as you can."
Seeing Chen Pingping's nervous tone, Shadow didn't bother to ask any questions. The figure shot out like a sharp arrow and quickly disappeared from the eyes of Chen Pingping and Yan Ruohai.
