No one wants to stay with a fat monk on their wedding night, so Ye An quietly left after a brief exchange with Monk Kong.
For him, the most important thing is to take a look at his bride, a "goddess" who in his previous life only dared to look behind the stalls and observe, but never dared to blatantly approach her and strike up a conversation.
He got his wish and entered the wedding room, but when he was about to "cuddle and hold her high" with his newlywed wife, he saw the woman hugging the braised pig's trotters on the carved wooden bed and eating happily.
The fan that was originally used to cover her face was inserted into the back of her neck. Matchmaker Liu kept advising her: "County Lord, you are a noble person after all, so don't embarrass the slave family. If you look like this, you will be killed by the Marquis."
What should I do if I see it?!"
"You see it when you see it. Do you think he dares to say anything? Ye An, here you come! Tell me quickly where you bought this pig's trotters. It tastes really good!"
In the astonishment of Matchmaker Liu, Ye An smiled and shrugged: "Who else can make such delicious food besides me? After all, it is a classical wedding. Can we continue the process? Let's respect the cultural tradition a little bit!"
Qin Mumu put down the pig's trotters with a smile, but soon nodded seriously: "Well, what you said makes sense, but... where is my butcher fan?"
He stepped forward and lovingly took off the fan from the back of her neck, and wiped the grease from her mouth. Unexpectedly, the more he wiped it, the messier it became. Ye An could only say helplessly: "That's it!"
Throwing money and colorful fruits is called throwing tents. Although Matchmaker Liu thought the whole house was weird, she didn't say anything much. She just kept doing her job and recited the song of throwing tents while throwing money and colored fruits.
"To the east of the tent, the curtains in the boudoir are red with candle shadows. The good atmosphere is lush and green, and the painting hall is filled with spring breeze every day.
To the west of the tent, brocade tassels hang down from the four corners. When you uncover it, you can see Chang'e's face, but the immortal man is catching the twigs.
Spreading tents to the south, it is a good time to be happy and relaxed. The cool moon is good and the wind is refreshing, and both embroidered belts are suitable for men.
Spread the tent to the north, and enjoy a little color between the brows. The hibiscus tent warms the spring night, and the moon goddess invites guests from the Toad Palace."
After reciting the long tent song, Matchmaker Liu also finished scattering the things in her hands. Then she cut off a bunch of Ye An and Qin Mumu's hair and combed them together. The combined bun is also called a hair knot, which means the union of two natures.
This is how we become one body, grow old together, and become husband and wife.
"Come together and make cups, it's good to use them!"
After the two drank this glass of wine, they were officially married. After all the necessary procedures were completed, everyone else left, leaving only Ye An and Qin Mumu in the wedding room.
For some reason, Ye An himself became shy. After being in contact with Qin Mumu for so long, the two of them almost naturally thought that it was time to get married and hug each other to keep each other warm.
But it wasn't until this moment that the two of them suddenly discovered that they had overlooked an extremely important step, falling in love... Where did the first love go? It disappeared inexplicably like this?!
Just when the two of them were embarrassed, the window was suddenly broken open, and red chopsticks were thrown in, which also turned the paper window into a hornet's nest.
Poking the window grilles is a very ancient folk custom, and it is still preserved in some places in later generations. But at this time, Ye An could only laugh awkwardly: "I didn't expect that we are also shy sometimes, this is a big deal...hehe!"
"You should be older than me, but now you are younger than me. Well...should we treat our honeymoon as a relationship?"
Facing Qin Mumu's serious look, Ye An nodded: "Don't worry, I have no experience. I can swear on my name that you are my first love."
Their names were the only sign that the two of them had existed in that world. Qin Mumu nodded slightly: "Me too."
The long night...no intention of sleeping...
When Ye An woke up early in the morning, he felt a burst of soreness all over his body. Neither of them had slept well last night. Their bodies were so stiff that they didn't even know where to put their legs.
Of course, the hormonal passion dissipated quickly in the second half of the night, but Qin Mumu firmly stated that she wanted eugenics and eugenics, so Ye An had no way to do anything wrong again.
To actually use the "big things" of future generations as a shield...well...very good!
Ye An, who had two dark circles under his eyes, was washing up in the yard. Mrs. Zhang's wife had come to help her early in the morning. Last night, she became energetic after seeing Matchmaker Liu leaving with a large bag of reward money. She stayed up all night after returning home.
I didn’t sleep well, my head was filled with thoughts of Matchmaker Liu carrying money…………
She is the woman in the backyard who was named by the Marquis. Her status in the Marquis's family should be second only to the steward of the Wang Gang. She has the final say in everything that happens to the women. Why did Matchmaker Liu kidnapped so many of them alone?
money?!
Not long after that, he "thoughtfully" rushed over early in the morning, pulled Qin Mumu and talked for a long time in the room, and Ye An was naturally driven out of the door.
While spitting bubbles, he complained about Mrs. Zhang's meddling in other people's business. Qin Mumu still needs her to teach her "physiological hygiene class"? Do you believe that you can explain it clearly to Mrs. Zhang herself?
With the appearance of Ye An, everyone in the Hou Mansion came out. The Wang Gang came out of the kitchen with some sweet potato pulp and oily fruits, and kicked Tieniu in the face: "Grandpa Tian, what kind of family dares to fight with you?"
Young Master, why don't we take a shower together?! What time is it? Young Master, please change your clothes quickly. You don't want to be late for the court today. We don't have a place in the courtyard, so we can only go after breakfast!"
This is what Ye An ordered last night. Shujiang is soy milk, and Youguozi is fried pastry similar to fried dough sticks, except that it is sprinkled with sugar. Since the method of extracting sugar was invented, the Hou Mansion was short of everything.
No shortage of sugar.
It was a good thing for the envoys of the Liao Dynasty to meet with the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, but unfortunately it was not a decent thing for the Song Dynasty, because they came not only to congratulate Zhengdan, but also to discuss the issue of New Year coins.
"Do you think the Khitan people will be disrespectful to our Zhao Zhen in the court and be domineering?"
"Pfft...cough cough..." Qin Mumu made Xuan Chengzi, who was drinking soy milk, squirt as soon as she opened her mouth.
Seeing the milky white soy milk spurting out of his nose, Ye An couldn't help laughing. Who would have thought that the dignified Mr. Guanmiao could be beaten to death by a little lady like Qin Mumu?
But Ye An knew that this was Qin Mumu's true face. She regarded Xuan Chengzi as one of her own and could speak so openly. Looking at the trembling Wang Gang next to her, Ye An felt that this family would be afraid of him in the future.
It's going to be a "whirlwind" situation.
"How can we call official names by their official names?! This is a taboo matter. You two are now nobles of the Song Dynasty. One is the king of Yangcheng County and the other is the prince of Yunzhong County. You must think twice before you speak or act.
! Otherwise it will be a big sin if something goes wrong!"
Qin Mumu stuck out her tongue playfully, stared at Ye An's panda eyes and said, "Mr. Guanmiao's lesson is that Mumu knew he was wrong."
Being implicated for no reason, Ye An nodded repeatedly and put the peeled eggs on his eyes. He didn't sleep well all night. He went to court today with a dark circle under his eyes and was laughed at by those civil servants?
Especially the imperial censors, those people who can pick out the bones in an egg will definitely hold on to your pigtails and refuse to let go.
Soy milk and fried food are almost a perfect match. There is no Qin Hui yet, so fried glutinous rice has not appeared, but Ye An thinks that fried dough sticks should be the best companion of soy milk. After giving Qin Mumu a piece of fried fruit,
Ye An took the opportunity to answer her questions.
"The conflict between Song and Liao is actually not as intense as you think. Although the two sides are in opposition, it is a bit like the confrontation during the Cold War.
Moreover, they have adopted a relatively inclusive policy culturally and are wary of each other militarily. Before external force appears, the two sides will be stable for a long time.
Don’t forget, after the Chanyuan Alliance, there was no war in the north for more than ten years. Even if there were some minor frictions, they were just civil disputes between border residents. Neither the Song nor the Liao wanted to make things big enough to lead to war.
The point.”
Qin Mumu nodded slightly: "Okay! As expected of history... In this way, there will be no conflict between Song and Liao in a short time. Now that both sides are stable, let's take care of ourselves. I'm going to spread the business. You
You can’t be idle either!”
"This is certain. I will officially join the Sinong Temple starting next year. It is imperative to promote potatoes and sweet potatoes. You have to help me write a note on how to strengthen the construction of conservation institutions. The saint will use it next year.
of."
Xuan Chengzi looked at the newlyweds in stunned silence. Why did he feel that what he heard was not true? As if all the difficulties were not difficult for them and could be solved easily?
Ye An's analysis was clear and logical, as if he was the roundworm in the stomachs of the emperors of Song and Liao, knowing what the kings of the two countries were thinking. What was even more incredible was Qin Mumu's attitude!
She actually seemed to take it for granted. When did women dare to discuss political affairs in the court at the table?!
In fact, Ye An and Qin Mumu have entered another state. After they get married, they will naturally enter a family life that they are accustomed to.
From nine to five, everyone is busy doing their own thing, and they will use more efficient, smarter and faster methods to deal with problems.
Xuan Chengzi couldn't understand, but this was the change in attitude between the two people. After a simple conversation, they had already discussed the future development direction, and each performed their duties...
At this time, the fat monk next to him no longer dared to speak. He felt that he was the stupidest person in this prince's mansion. Even Qin Mumu, who had just married in, had extraordinary insight and courage.
