Dongchanghou Mansion is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the middle gate is wide open.
Mrs. Qin Liu was waiting anxiously at the door, and the entire family was standing on both sides to welcome her.
Finally, a high-spirited young man galloped over on a tall horse and dismounted sideways when he was near the gate of the Hou Mansion.
"Brother Hao." Mrs. Qin Liu held Qin Hao's hand with tears in her eyes, as if she was afraid that her son would suddenly disappear from her eyes.
Qin Hao comforted her for a while before comforting her.
"Mother, this is not the place to talk. Let's go in and talk."
Mrs. Qin Liu then wiped away her tears and said, "Okay, go home, let's go home."
Arriving at the front hall, Qin Junye, who was originally sitting in the high hall, could no longer sit still and stepped forward to pat Qin Hao on the shoulder.
"Well done, you didn't embarrass our Dongchang Hou Mansion."
Mrs. Qin Liu rolled her eyes at him, pulled Qin Hao to sit down, and then asked the servants to bring the food and wine.
While eating, Qin Hao said: "Father, mother, the child asked Your Majesty for a marriage decree when he entered the palace. I believe that the decree will come out tomorrow, and it is time to prepare for the marriage between the child and Yanran."
Mrs. Qin Liu hesitated to speak, but Qin Junye nodded: "Well, we can't delay it any longer. In times of crisis, Mrs. Yu will betroth her direct granddaughter to you. Now that our family is getting better, we can't let them down."
After drinking and eating, Qin Hao walked to his small courtyard and asked Cui Zhi on the way.
"Have all the brothers been settled?"
Cui Zhi bowed and said: "It's settled, there's wine and meat, and the jewelry brought from Japan have also been properly placed."
In the past year and a half, Qin Hao naturally did not work exclusively for the Song Dynasty. Silver could not be moved and it was easy to violate taboos. Moreover, with such a large amount of silver flowing into the market, the value of silver would definitely plummet.
However, the jewelry looted from those famous Japanese people can be regarded as trophies, so there is not so much emphasis on them.
Qin Hao nodded: "Well done, I will ask my mother to sell this batch of jewelry as soon as possible, and each brother will have a share."
"Thank you, sir!" Cui Zhi's eyes also flashed with joy, no one would have trouble with money.
Qin Hao waved his hand: "You all deserve this. In addition, I will ask my mother to arrange for those who were killed or disabled. If they have their own plans, you can also come and tell me, and I will give them in cash."
them."
As he spoke, he had already arrived at the familiar courtyard. In the courtyard, a pretty figure was looking at Qin Hao silently with tears in his eyes.
"Qingmei." Qin Hao called softly, and Qingmei couldn't help but rushed to him and hugged him.
"Son."
After a while of consolation, Qingmei stopped crying. Qin Hao looked at her delicately as he beat her into pear blossoms, and a fire rose in her heart.
I haven't seen her for more than a year, and Qingmei's figure has become more and more mature, especially the curvature of her chest, which is more rounded.
Qin Hao picked up Qingmei, kicked the door open, closed the door with his foot, and then eagerly threw Qingmei on the bed.
"Sir, I will help you change your clothes." Qingmei blushed and murmured softly.
Qin Hao couldn't wait any longer: "I'd better wait for you to change your clothes first."
.......
As the clouds and rain passed by, Qingmei gently touched the wounds on Qin Hao's body, feeling extremely distressed.
"Son, I've suffered a lot."
Qin Hao kissed her on the forehead: "There is no one who won't be injured in a battle. Don't worry, I have a tough life and will not let you become a widow."
Qingmei covered Qin Hao's mouth angrily: "Don't say such unlucky words."
Qin Hao picked up her soft little hand, squeezed it, and said with a smile, "Okay, don't tell me, don't tell me."
Just as the two were leaning on each other, there was a knock on the door.
"Sir, the imperial edict conferring marriage is coming soon. The Marquis and Madam asked you to prepare."
"Oh, I see."
After Qin Hao finished speaking, he looked at Qingmei and saw that there was no nervous or jealous expression on her face at all. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "Young Master is about to get married, are you not jealous?"
Qingmei blinked suspiciously: "Jealous? Why are you jealous, my servant? Shouldn't the young master be happy when he has a wife?"
Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh, this evil feudal society is really so good that he doesn't even feel guilty about having a harem.
In the front yard of Dongchanghou Mansion, a middle-aged eunuch was reading out the imperial edict.
"I bear the destiny of Haotian and the grand plan of the Successor Saint... The legitimate son of Dongchang Houfu has made great contributions to the country, and I specially give it to Yu Yanran, the eldest daughter after marriage..."
The imperial edict was shorter than expected, and it was over before Qin Hao could react. It was Qin Junye who reminded him that he finally woke up.
"Thank you for your grace."
.......
On the other side, Yu Mansion also set up an incense table at this time and received orders in the front yard.
Yu Yanran kept her face red and lowered her head the whole time, not daring to raise her head to see anyone. The eyes of the second girl Yu behind her were so jealous that they were almost angry.
I originally thought that Dongchang Hou Mansion had offended King Yong and would definitely fall. Who knew that King Yong died immediately? Qin Hao had just made another great contribution, bringing back a large amount of silver from Fusang. Not only was he promoted to the third level, but even the official family was
If you decree a marriage, it will definitely be reused.
Mr. Yu was so excited at the moment. Before, he was worried that this marriage in Dongchang Hou Mansion would affect his future. Now that he thinks about it, his father is far-sighted. Otherwise, if he had postponed the marriage, he would regret it now.
.
After thanking him, Mrs. Yu looked at her son's philistine look and couldn't help but shake his head.
Mrs. Yu held her granddaughter Yu Yanran's hand and cried with joy: "Finally, you didn't wait in vain this year."
Yu Yanran blushed and nodded: "Thanks to grandma and grandpa."
.......
Qin Hao and Yu Yanran's marriage became a fashionable topic among the nobles in Bianjing after dinner.
Originally, Qin Hao was a well-known noble son in Bianjing City. He had to have good looks and knowledge. If he hadn't offended King Yong, I don't know how many noble people would care about him.
Later, when Qin Hao was "assigned" to Japan, many nobles felt that the Dongchang Hou Mansion was definitely over.
However, who knew that there would be a twist of events, and a coup led to King Yong's death. However, Qin Hao had already gone to Japan at that time, and many people felt that it would be difficult for him to come back.
Unexpectedly, Qin Hao not only came back, but also brought a large amount of silver to help the government solve the problem of money shortage. In an instant, he became a loyal minister of the new emperor. He was not only promoted to three levels in a row, but also gave him
Grant marriage.
This undoubtedly gave a signal to the nobles in Bianjing City that the Dongchang Hou Mansion was about to rise again.
For a moment, those nobles who had been hesitant before were beating their chests. Why didn't they take the opportunity to buy the bottom? Instead, they were picked up by the Yu family.
In order to repair the relationship, those noble family members began to invite the Qin Liu family under various names.
It's a pity that Mrs. Qin Liu is so busy right now that it's useless. Since it's a marriage granted by the official family, the wedding cannot be neglected. How can Mrs. Qin Liu have time to attend to them?
Sheng's backyard.
While eating, Sheng Hong reminded: "Changbai, the young marquis is getting married soon. As his classmate and friend, shouldn't you also give him a congratulatory gift?"
Sheng Changbai said casually: "Father, my son wrote a picture with his own hand and will have it delivered tomorrow."
Sheng Hong almost choked and coughed for a while before he recovered: "Isn't this too simple? How about asking your mother to prepare a substantial gift for you?"
Wang Ruofu also felt that it made sense: "Yes, the young marquis only gave me a picture of a message for his wedding. It seems that our Sheng family is too shabby. It's not like the family can't open the door..."
Sheng Changbai waved his hand and said, "No need, Father, Mother, I know Zihan, he is not that kind of person, a friendship between gentlemen only requires a heart-to-heart relationship."
After saying that, Sheng Changbai got up and left after finishing his meal.
Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu couldn't help but look at each other and sighed. Their son was good at everything, but a little aloof.
Wang Ruofu said with some complaints: "If I had known that the Dongchang Marquis Mansion did not have such high requirements for family status, our family might be able to meet it if we have enough."
Sheng Hong looked a little embarrassed, but still said stubbornly: "Who is Master Yu? A veteran of three dynasties, with disciples and former officials all over the world, how can our family compare with others? You, you are really daydreaming!"
Wang Ruofu said unconvinced: "Then, the Dongchang Hou Mansion offended King Yong and then arranged a marriage with the Yu family. If we..."
Sheng Hong glared: "In that situation, how dare you marry Ru Lan?"
Wang Ruofu stopped talking and felt very depressed in his heart. He had missed such a good marriage.
Sheng Hong thought for a while: "Well, Minglan has a very good relationship with the eldest girl of the Yu family. You ask her to give you a generous gift."
Wang Ruofu nodded, that was all she could do, and then she suddenly said.
"The young Marquis is getting married soon. Shouldn't our Chang Bai's marriage be put on the agenda too? I think my sister's Yoona is pretty good..."
Sheng Hong shook his head when he heard this: "What has happened to the Kang family now? It's too late to hide, and you still want to get involved?"
"But that's my biological sister..." Wang Ruofu still wanted to argue.
Sheng Hong interrupted directly: "Don't worry about this matter. I have already found someone to look at the Hai family girl. I believe there will be news soon."
Wang Ruofu looked at her husband's leaving figure and was so angry that he swept away all the dishes on the table.
On the other side, in Linqi Pavilion.
Lin Xiaoniang and Mo Lan were also depressed.
"Why do you think the Dongchang Hou Mansion has revived? You should have let your father take advantage of his family's downfall to propose marriage, otherwise you would be the eldest wife of the Hou Mansion in the future!" Lin Xiaoniang became more and more thoughtful.
I'm angry, I feel like I've missed more than 100 million.
Mo Lan almost crushed the handkerchief in her hand: "Isn't it? It's such an honor to be granted a marriage by the government, but that little bitch Yu Yanran took advantage of it!"
Lin Xiaoniang could only sigh: "Well, it's useless to talk about this now. You are not young now, so you should think about your destiny."
"Of course I want to marry high," Mo Lan said proudly.
Lin Xiaoniang was a little worried: "I'm afraid your father doesn't think so. After all, you are a commoner. I'm afraid you will find a well-matched man to marry like Minglan."
Mo Lan glared: "What's wrong with me? I'm my mother's daughter. I live a more noble life than my legitimate daughter. I will definitely marry into a wealthy family in the future."
"Not to mention the Marquis Palace, at least like Hua Lan, marry into an Earl's Palace family, right?"
"Then you have to think of a way. It's definitely not possible to rely on your father alone."
Mu Cang Zhaili.
Minglan was embroidering a pillowcase when Wang Ruofu came. Minglan hurried to greet her.
Wang Ruofu picked up the pillowcase and exclaimed: "If you don't say that this girl is very clever, the embroidery of the mandarin ducks playing in the water is really lifelike. Is this a wedding gift for the eldest daughter of the Yu family?"
Minglan bowed slightly: "I don't have much to offer here. I just want to embroider a pair of pillowcases and give them to sister Yanran. It's just a thought."
Wang Ruofu nodded and said with a smile: "This is just a pair of pillowcases, isn't it a little shabby? I also have some nice items there. I will send them to you tomorrow. I don't want to make people laugh at our Sheng family's pettiness."
Just as Minglan was about to refuse, Wang Ruofu had already stood up and walked out.
Minglan looked confused, but after thinking about it, she understood the intention of Wang Ruofu's move, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"It's true that when you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, but when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives!"
Xiao Tao on the side scratched her head when she heard this: "Isn't it a gift? Why are you so far away in the mountains and distant relatives?"
"Pfft." Minglan, Danju and others couldn't help laughing.
Soon, Minglan came to Yu Mansion with gifts. During this period, Yu Yanran was locked in the room and embroidered her dowry. Naturally, she was full of joy for Minglan's arrival.
Minglan joked: "Tsk tsk, no wonder people say that people are in high spirits during happy events. Looking at Sister Yanran's charming appearance, the young Marquis is really lucky."
Yu Yanran blushed, shyly slapped Minglan, and said coquettishly: "You are so shameless, a girl who has not yet left the court dares to say such a thing."
Minglan chuckled and hugged Yu Yanran's arm: "Isn't this your home? I don't dare to make mistakes in front of outsiders."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The two sat down while they were talking, and Minglan said to Yu Yanran with some emotion: "Who would have thought that Sister Yanran and the young Marquis would become a couple after parting at the racecourse?
.”
Yu Yanran also had a heart-to-heart talk with Minglan: "Actually, I didn't expect that when the young Marquis helped me get my mother's gold hairpin, it seemed like I was in a dream."
Suddenly he said worriedly: "Minglan, do you think I'm dreaming now? What if I wake up from the dream?"
Minglan teased: "Okay, sister Yanran, if everything else is fake, how can this marriage be fake? Just rest assured and be your wife of the Marquis."
The two laughed and joked for a while, and Minglan handed Yu Yanran the gift list that she had been asked to bring from home.
Yu Yanran looked at it and said: "Minglan, are you having a hard time? How can I bear such a big gift?"
Minglan smiled and said: "I didn't give this gift. Besides, I can't afford it with my little money. This is what the eldest lady meant."
Yu Yanran was still a little confused.
Minglan explained: "Isn't this obvious? The eldest lady wants to lend my hand to express her goodwill to the young prince. Who made your young prince now the new emperor's celebrity?"
Hearing the words "your little marquis", Yu Yanran couldn't help but blush.
Soon, the wedding day arrived. Qin Hao was pulled up early in the morning to freshen up, put on his auspicious clothes, and rode a tall horse to Yu's house to welcome the bride.
Accompanying him were friends such as Gu Tingye, Qi Heng, and Sheng Changbai, and the scene was quite lively.
But when he arrived at the entrance of Yu Mansion, he was blocked. He had to test Qin Hao's literary talent before he was allowed to pass.
"I've heard for a long time that the young Marquis is the number one scholar, so let's first ask the young Marquis to write a makeup-inducing poem."
Composing poetry again? Qin Hao thought for a while and had to copy one now, muttering silently: I'm sorry, brother Wang Ang.
"Joy surrounds the wealthy family, and the light moves the fragrant streets.
Walking under the crape myrtle flowers, I realize that I am an extraordinary guest.
There is no need to use makeup or makeup to look innocent, as you may be too red and white.
Leave the shallow part of the eyebrows to draw the spring color of Zhangtai."
"good!!!"
As soon as this poem came out, not only the crowd watching the scene loudly praised it, but even those who blocked the door couldn't help but nod.
This makeup-inducing poem is really suitable for the occasion.
In Yu Yanran's boudoir, when the maid told her this poem to encourage makeup, Yu Yanran couldn't help but feel shy and looked at the bronze mirror, her cheeks were frighteningly hot.
Qin Hao originally thought that he would be able to pass the test by writing a poem urging him to make up, but he didn't expect to be stopped outside the door.
"Little Marquis, although this poem is well done, a good man can't just love his children, right?"
"Yes, little Marquis, I have to trouble you to compose a poem about a man. Once you've finished it, we'll let you go!"
Qin Hao smiled and scolded: "If you ask me right now, can I still get a bride?"
"Haha~~~"
"It's no use being impatient, little Marquis, but you won't be able to pass this gate. Hurry up and compose a poem."
Qin Hao thought for a while and said silently: Grandpa Mao, bless me.
"The clouds are blooming, Hengyue is accumulating yin, Tianma is stopping, the phoenix is in the spring tree,
When he was young, Qu Jia Cai, an outstanding figure in the mountains and rivers, once remembered this place.
You are walking and I am singing a great song and the Kunpeng is striking the waves from now on.
The Xiangshui River in Dongting rose to the sky, and the giant ship pointed eastward..."
"good!!!"
There was another round of applause. Although most of the onlookers did not understand poetry, this was the charm of poetry. The sense of pictures came to your face. Even if you did not know the specific meaning, you would be shocked by the momentum of the poetry.
While everyone blocking the door was still stunned, Qin Hao shouted: "Come on."
Gu Tingye reacted the fastest and squeezed out a position from the crowd blocking the door, allowing Qin Hao to get in. After the owner had already entered, the others had to make way.
Sheng Changbai was responsible for spreading the money, throwing out red envelopes one by one and being picked up by others. He didn't care how much it was, it was just a lucky draw.
In the front hall, Yu Yanran covered her face with a fan, stood shyly with Qin Hao, and served tea to Master Yu and his wife.
After the ceremony, just as she was about to leave, Mrs. Yu held her granddaughter's hand and couldn't stop her tears from falling.
Yu Yanran also burst into tears. In the end, Mrs. Yu persuaded her for a while before she calmed down.
When the wedding team arrived at Dongchang Hou Mansion, Yu Yanran could only wait in the room alone, while Qin Hao had already been pulled out to accompany him for a drink.
It wasn't until night that Qin Hao was drunk and sent back to the bridal chamber by Buqi.
But when Yu Yanran stepped forward to help him, Qin Hao hugged her.
Yu Yanran stiffened and looked at him angrily: "Are you not drunk?"
"Of course, that's all a lie to them. We have important things to do tonight, so how can we get drunk?" Qin Hao said with a bad smile.
Yu Yanran blushed immediately, and before she could react, she was hugged by Qin Hao.
In front of Qin Hao, a veteran, Yu Yanran quickly lost her ability to resist and was skinned like a little lamb.
