Chapter 184 Marriage
"Second uncle." Xiao Shan looked at the second old man, "Then tell me, what should we do with this matter?"

The second old lady said: "Everyone's concerns are not wrong. There are so many people in our Xiao family, we can't take a little risk." He paused and said: "Since the identity of Zhennanhou can't be proved, then we have to think about it." Proper way."

"It's not that you are not allowed to recognize your son. This is a good thing." The second old man said: "But you also have to understand the thoughts of your brothers. They have no reason to sleep and eat day and night for the reunion of your family. Even your generation A hundred years from now, future generations will suffer unimaginable disasters."

Xiao Shan didn't speak.

The second master left his seat, walked around twice with his hands behind his back, stopped and looked at the crowd and said, "Actually, the best way is to adopt a child from the clan to Xiao Shan, and the title will be inherited by this child in the future." Paused He added: "But Xiao Shan has never agreed to it for so many years, and he must not agree easily now."

Everyone had no objection, and the second old man continued: "Then, there is only one last way."

"In what way," someone asked him.

The second old man was silent for a moment, looked at Xiao Shan with a sad expression on his face, "Then only Xiao Shan will give up this title, in this way, even if Zhennan Hou has any thoughts, it has nothing to do with all of us."

Xiao Shan was not surprised at all, he paused and said, "Give it to my second brother?"

"Xiao Yu can't do it." Someone shouted: "You brothers have a good relationship, Xiao Yu's is not the same as yours."

Xiao Shan looked at the speaker, "Then what does the ninth brother mean?"

"Of course it's for our second room, not far or near." He smiled and said, "Our second room is the most capable, and our brothers are much smarter than the third room."

The people in the third room immediately stood up, and said angrily: "Whatever you say about this matter is nothing, don't say that we haven't talked yet, even if we agree, this title is not just for you."

"Even if you rank the rankings, it won't be in your hands." The second room's humanity: "You guys just calm down."

The people in the third room raised the teacup in their hands and were about to drop it when they heard a bang. Everyone was startled and followed the sound.

I saw Shen Zhan overturning a table, standing on a chair with one foot, looking at the crowd blankly, everyone shook, and someone shouted: "Marquis Zhennan, what do you want to do?"

Shen Zhan didn't look at the speaker, but stared at the second old man, and said, "Are you sure you can afford the Chengdu mansion?"

"You... what do you mean?" The second old man was a little apprehensive.

Shen Zhan kicked over the chair under his feet again, wiped the knife in his hand as he walked, and looked at a group of uncles and brothers, "It's a coincidence that I came back to recognize my relatives. As for the title..." He paused and glanced at everyone , "This Chengdu Jiedushi, do you think I will take it seriously?"

"You don't like it, but Zhao Zhiang will like it." Someone said: "Who knows, does your court have any plans to take advantage of the trend to take back the Chengdu Mansion and keep it for yourself?"

Shen Zhan looked back at the man, raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, if the title is given to you, even if the Holy Spirit has the intention to recover the Chengdu Mansion, you can resist it?"

"This..." The person who spoke was taken aback.

Shen Zhan looked at him with a sneer, "I tell you clearly, if the imperial court really asked me to recover the Chengdu Mansion, then you would not sit here and have the opportunity to talk nonsense with me." Then he said: "Since I said that I No, it has nothing to do with the imperial court, if you make trouble again, don't blame me for being rude."

"Why are you going to be rude?" Xiao Yi was furious, and smashed the soup bowl in his hand, Shen Zhan turned to look at him, and said, "Just be so rude."

After saying that, he raised his foot, and Xiao Yi flew out of the crowd with the broken kite, and was caught by the guards outside. He broke out in a cold sweat and kept screaming, "Marquis Zhennan, you really didn't follow your good intentions!" , let me tell you, not to mention you alone, even thousands or hundreds of Zhennanhous, we can let you come and go."

"Three words, let me explain the current situation." Shen Zhan said: "First, the title will not be surrendered, don't even think about it."

"Second, I got married years ago. Everyone is welcome to come and have a wedding banquet. If you don't want to come, just close the door and shut up!"

"Thirdly, I will introduce my daughter-in-law to everyone. We met on the road later, so we know we are a family." He said, beckoning to Su Wanru. Everyone has not recovered from Shen Zhan's intimidation and dominance. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly saw a beautiful little girl coming up again, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"Su Shi, I have met all the elders." Su Wanru blessed the older ones, but she couldn't tell whether it was a nephew or a brother for the younger ones, so she simply ignored them.

What kind of lady is this who runs after a man without a name?
"We are getting married at the end of the year, everyone must come to have a wedding banquet." She said with a smile. Although she was smiling, everyone felt that these two people looked like gangsters and robbers.

It's really worthy of being a person who wants to get married, people are divided into groups.

Shen Zhan nodded, looked at the crowd and said, "Since I'm back, I belong to this family. In the future, you will still be relatives, and everyone will walk around and take care of each other. If you don't want to be relatives, please leave immediately."

"As for the title, don't think about it." He said, leading Su Wanru to sit in her seat.

Xiao Shan and Mrs. Xiao looked at each other, and both of them had smiles in their eyes. Their son is Zhennanhou.

They thought they just picked up a child from the side of the road, and they couldn't bully him casually.

"Okay." Xiao Shan said: "That's the end of today, the second and third families stay here, everyone else can go back."

The second old lady was shaking with anger, but the attitude of the other party is so clear, it is really not good to continue, after all, the Chengdu Jiedushi is still Xiaoshan, and the military power is also in his hands. If the disturbance is too fierce, everyone will tear their faces. They are the ones who suffer.

He was supported by his entourage, shook his sleeves angrily, and shouted: "We have said good things and bad things. Since he won't listen to persuasion, then we can only do so. When he finds out that he has been deceived, look What face does he have to meet his ancestors?"

With that said, he left with his family in a mighty way.

The third old master hesitated to speak, thought for a while, waved his hands, and left with his family.

Once the people left, there was only one table left, the second master Xiao Yu and the third master Xiao Xiangqin.

"Brother." Xiao Yu came forward and said in a low voice, "Isn't it too much to tear yourself apart with Second Uncle and the others?"

Xiao Shan waved his hand and said: "Zhan'er knows it well, besides, they let us give up the title, it's already a shame, you still think you can talk well."

"That's right." Xiao Xiangqin said: "It's time to block their minds, so that they don't dare to say such nonsense words and do those nonsense things again."

Xiao Shan nodded, asked the two to sit down, and asked Su Ji to come, and several people sat down, saying: "We will set the date of the wedding today, Zhan'er and Mr. Su both have things to do and can't stay for a long time, the wedding will be done years ago. gone."

"I've read the almanac." Mrs. Xiao sat between her two sisters-in-law and said with a smile, "The sixth day of the twelfth lunar month is the best day."

In this case, there will be less than three months, Mrs. Xiao said hesitantly: "Is it a little hasty, because I am afraid that Miss Su will be wronged."

"Everything is ready-made." Mrs. Xiao said, "It's too late."

Mrs. Xiao nodded her head and looked at Su Ji, "Uncle Su, what else do you want?"

"Wanwan no longer has any elders, and here, you are her elders. As for the marriage, it's fine for you to be the masters," Su Ji said.

He really had nothing to say, and believed that Mrs. Xiao would not treat Su Wanru badly.

"That's fine." Mrs. Xiao said: "I will list the things that my brother and sister and I will need in the past two days. As for the furniture, I still have a new set of mahogany at home. I haven't used it, and it has been placed there. Ashes fall, why don’t you use them first.”

"How did this happen?" Mrs. Xiao said, "I remember, it was your dowry."

Mrs. Xiao waved her hand and said: "Sister-in-law, you are being polite. If this furniture is not in use, it will be considered ample time." Then she said: "Go and have a look tomorrow. If you don't mind the old style, I will have someone move it here."

"Well, your elder brother and I will not be polite to you." Mrs. Xiao said with a smile.

This side is talking, and that side is also talking, Su Wanru looked at a seven or eight-year-old boy standing in front of her, and said hesitantly, "Why don't you call me first?" She didn't know that she called What is the other party, brother or nephew?

The little boy was wearing a sapphire blue jacket, with delicate features and the appearance of a scholar, "Nephew Xiao Ping'an, I have met... I have seen my aunt."

Fortunately, the nephew is not the younger brother, Su Wanru smiled and said: "Ping'an is so good. I have candy here, you can share it with everyone." Saying that, she took the package that she had prepared in advance from Zhilan's hand , which contains many small snacks.

"Thank you, Auntie." Xiao Ping'an smiled and waved to another table, and then a four or five-year-old boy ran over and shouted, "Ping'an, what did she give you?"

Xiao Pingan said: "Give snacks."

"Sister-in-law." The little boy looked at Su Wanru and said, "We don't eat sugar, the husband said it would damage our teeth. Next time, can you give us some less sweet snacks?"

The corner of Su Wanru's mouth trembled, and she repeated: "Who is your father?"

"My father is your third uncle." The little boy said, "My name is Xiao Linlang, and I am my father's youngest son, and also the youngest among eighteen brothers."

As he was speaking, he heard the third Mrs. Xiao coming over with a smile, picked him up, and said to Su Wanru: "He is young and talks nonsense, Miss Su, don't be angry."

Su Wanru got up, waved her hands, and said, "No, they are all very cute, I'm not angry at all."

"Then I'll take him there. You have time to go to my house with Marquis Zhennan." Mrs. Xiao said, "It's not far away."

Su Wanru nodded yes, and she and Shen Zhan watched Mrs. Xiao's mother and son go to the opposite table.

"Then how old are you older than your uncle?" Su Wanru asked Xiao Ping'an.

Xiao Pingan thought for a while and replied: "Three years older. It's not surprising if you're used to it. Big families are like this, and grandpa ran with his great-grandson."

"That's true." Su Wanru said, "What you said makes sense."

Xiao Pingan just looked at Su Wanru, looked left and right, and then looked at Shen Zhan, "Uncle Ba, she is not from Chengdu, after getting married, she should give birth to a girl for our family, right?"

Su Wanru stroked her forehead.

"Yes!" Shen Zhan nodded and said, "I can give birth to several, and then my sister will be in your care."

Xiao Pingan laughed, his smile was like a child's, "Uncle Ba is what you said, when the time comes, don't count your words and give your sister to other brothers."

"Keep your word." Shen Zhan nodded.

Xiao Pingan just stared at Su Wanru's stomach, and left very satisfied.

"Is this a child?" Su Wanru scratched her head, feeling for the first time that she had more energy than she wanted, "Why does he know so much?"

Shen Zhan was also staring at her stomach, Su Wanru was furious and kicked him, "Don't overdo it, or I will run away from marriage."

"Let's be honest, Doctor Mei, drink." Shen Zhan served the wine and clinked glasses with the two of them. After drinking, Mei Yu smiled and said to Su Wanru, "It's not surprising. Look at the battle just now. I'm afraid everyone's thoughts are the same as Xiao Xiao's." It's safe and sound."

What the Xiao family lacks most is males.

"I don't need to worry about this issue now, right?" Su Wanru knocked on the table to remind everyone, "Everyone, I'm not married yet, so I'll be shy if I talk too much."

Zhu Xun listened, spouted the wine out of his mouth, covered his face with his sleeve, "Sorry, I couldn't control my excitement at the moment."

"You want to die, don't you?" Su Wanru said angrily.

Zhu Xun laughed, and said again: "However, I plan to leave for Beijing tomorrow and bring my mother and younger sister over."

"Then you have to leave early, it will be getting colder and colder later, you should take more time to come back." Su Wanru said.

Zhu Xun should be.

They don't care about the attitude of the other two families of the Xiao family at all. You know, they are attached to the long house to live, not the long house depends on their support to live.

Therefore, whether they support or not support, does not affect the overall situation at all.

Although Su Wanru was laughing and joking, she looked no different from usual, but she tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep no matter what.

She is still nervous, thinking about something is one thing, but doing it is another.

Are she and Shen Zhan really going to get married?

"Zhilan, Zhilan." Su Wanru sat up, another little girl entered the door, and said with a smile: "Miss, the servant is on duty tonight, you have something to ask sister Zhilan, and the servant is looking for her?"

Su Wanru just remembered that Zhilan was not there, so she waved her hands and said, "Xuelan, get me a pen and ink, I want to write a letter."

Xue Lan should be, turn on the light, and go out to get a pen and paper.

Su Wanru sent a letter to Director Huo and Director Qiu, telling them about her marriage.

Granny Liu also sent a letter.

After finishing writing this, she wrote another letter to Si Sanbao, telling Si Sanbao her current situation and the reason for staying in Chengdu Mansion, and asked him to send the money to Zhao Zhiang.

After doing this, she was relieved and fell asleep peacefully.

When the letter was delivered to Yingtian, it was already mid-September. Mr. Qiu was wearing glasses and looking at the account book. Jiao Zhenying knocked on the door and came in with a smile, saying, "Auntie, look whose letter has arrived."

"Is it Ah Jin's?" Chief Qiu looked up, eyes full of joy, Jiao Zhenying nodded and handed the letter to her, "Auntie, open it quickly, she is in Chengdu Mansion, and I don't know what's going on there. We're all thinking about it."

Director Qiu opened the letter, and saw the inside saying: "Auntie, everything is fine with me in Chengdu Mansion, and the Marquis of Zhennan is sure that he is the son of Xiao Shan, the envoy of Chengdu Jiedu..." She told Director Qiu about everything. After saying it again, he finally said: "His parents wanted us to get married before we left, and we also thought it was appropriate, so we set the wedding date on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. When we return to Yanjing next year, we will make a detour to Yingtian. Kowtow to you."

"Auntie, what did she say?" Jiao Zhenying was very anxious, but Chief Qiu didn't say anything, and read the letter from the beginning again, laughing, "...She said she was going to marry Zhennanhou in Chengdu Mansion?"

Jiao Zhenying opened her mouth wide, surprised, "A Jin and Marquis Zhennan?"

"The two of you have known each other for a while." Chief Qiu said with a smile, "This Ah Jin is very quiet. She hasn't mentioned anything to me before, but suddenly she sent a letter saying that she is getting married."

Jiao Zhenying took the letter and read it carefully several times, but still couldn't believe it, "Marquis of Zhennan."

She still clearly remembered the empty alleyway when Zhennan Hou entered Yingtian for the first time. At that time, she and Liu Sanniang stood in the crowd and watched, and she felt that she was far away from them, like a god-like figure.

"It's a surprise, but with Ah Jin's talent, only the Marquis of Zhennan can match her." Jiao Zhenying sighed.

Chief Qiu nodded, "That's true." She knew about King Ning, and thought for a while that Su Wanru would become Princess Ning, but now it seems that Zhennanhou is the most suitable.

"Then what should we do? Shall we prepare a congratulatory gift?" Jiao Zhenying said, "I'll go to Sanniang tomorrow and tell her about the happy event. She will be very happy too."

Chief Qiu nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Don't worry, let me think about it first."

"Then think about it, I'm going to prepare something and go find Sanniang tomorrow."

Jiao Zhenying went to Plum Blossom Nunnery early the next morning, and Liu Sanniang was washing clothes by the creek under the temple, when she heard the shout, she got up, wiped her hands, and said with a smile, "Why are you so happy? "

"It's really a happy event." Jiao Zhenying looked at Liu Sanniang. She was wearing a gray gown with wide-leg trousers underneath. The trousers were tied into foreign capital, and she wore a cloth cap on her head. She smiled gently, with a kind of desireless desire indifference.

"It's A Jin's letter." Jiao Zhenying looked around, lowered her voice, and said, "She and Marquis Zhennan are going to get married in Chengdu, and the wedding date is set on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month."

Liu Sanniang's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly recited Amitabha a few times, and said with a smile, "I have finally achieved the right result of cultivation, congratulations."

"You already knew." Jiao Zhenying said, "You didn't even tell me."

Liu Sanniang smiled, pulled her to sit down on a rock by the stream, and said, "It's inconvenient to talk about her identity, so I don't dare to say more."

"Forget it, it's not too late to know now. I'm really afraid that even if she brings her nephew back, I will know about her marriage." Jiao Zhenying said: "However, this gift is not easy to give, so I have to think about it. "

"That's right, you and the manager should think about it more." Liu Sanniang said: "Or else, embroider some quilts for her?"

Jiao Zhenying waved her hand and said: "She won't be polite to us. She has listed a list in the letter and asked us to embroider a lot of things. She also said that it is not particular, and the old ones are also acceptable. There is also a wedding dress. She said that she remembered that there was one in the museum. Sample, let's give it to her."

"It was embroidered by Song Wuniang. It has been guarded on the Moon Tower. She actually remembered it and asked for it." Jiao Zhenying said with a smile in her eyes. Don't say that Su Wanru just wants these things, or more, day and night. If you rush to work, she will also send it to her.

"Don't be so harsh, go back and prepare it for her early, and check if you have ready-made ones, don't get caught off the thread." Liu Sanniang said: "Look carefully, if there is anything I can help, just Someone come and tell me."

Jiao Zhenying said: "Otherwise, you can start making clothes for her child now, cloaks, and small close-fitting clothes are all done, and they will be sent there at the beginning of the new year."

"That's fine." Liu Sanniang said: "Do it now, and when she has a baby, she should be able to save a lot."

Director Huo's letter was brought back by Zhu Xun, and it was about the same time as Yingtian. Zhou Xian sat beside Mr. Huo and stared at it, saying frankly: "She must think that we prepared too little dowry for her. , so I just got married in Chengdu Mansion, it's really annoying."

"She got married, and we're not here. It's so embarrassing." Zhou Xian said angrily.

Huo Zhangshi watched it several times in a row, and said with a helpless smile: "She can't help herself. If she is in the capital, she and Zhennan Hou don't know if she can get married." He said: "Zhennan Hou married her. Well, it’s not a concubine, if it’s done in the capital, even though she’s not what she used to be, and others don’t dare to underestimate her, it’s inevitable that there will be gossip.”

"That's right." Zhou Xian sighed, "Hey, otherwise, let's go to Chengdu Mansion."

Huo Zhangshi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "You go, I'm like this, I'm afraid it will be next year when I get to Chengdu Mansion." He said again: "You go with Changxing Hou's family, don't make any noise, I see Su What Jin meant was that she didn't want others to know."

"I'm going?" Zhou Xian said, "Yes, Brother Du is definitely going too." After she finished speaking, she suddenly heard two barks outside the door. She was taken aback, pointed outside and said, "There are two more dog."

Master Huo nodded, "Go to the Marquis of Changxing and ask when they will leave."

"Then I'll take Er Gouzi with me," Zhou Xian said, and greeted Er Gouzi, one person and one dog went to the Marquis of Changxing.

Zhu Xun went to the Ge Mansion and brought them New Year's gifts. Yang Shi and Zhu Yin just came back from the outside and met at the door. Zhou Xian followed the carriage and entered. Yang Shi remembered her and asked, "But come to ask us when we go?" of?"

"Yes!" Zhou Xian replied: "Can Er Gouzi and I go with the old lady and the eldest lady's car? No, I have a car myself, so we just form a team."

Yang covered her face with a smile, and said: "We are leaving in ten days, you go back and clean up, and I will let someone tell you before we leave."

"Thank you, Ma'am." Zhou Xian jumped up, squatted down and said to Er Gouzi: "After a while, we will be able to go to Chengdu Mansion to meet your master."

Er Gouzi jumped up and down, "Wow, woof!"

Si Sanbao pouted, looked at shopkeeper Qiao, and asked, "So, before she left, she told you to collect the rest of the money?"

"Yes, it wasn't enough at first, but Jining Mansion sent some later, and the money is enough." Shopkeeper Qiao said, "Do you want to send it to the Holy Majesty?"

Si Sanbao flipped through the box in front of him, and said, "They are all from the Tongtian ticket company, she is planning to kill the miscellaneous family." After a pause, he said, "Go and inform them, and tell them to give them half a month's money." Time, get the 100 million taels ready and send it to my mansion! I want real gold and silver."

Only seeing real money is the most impactful.

"You don't need real money, just her excuse, the Holy Majesty believes in him." Si Sanbao snorted, burned the letter casually, and said, "What's going on in the Prince's Mansion these days?" Su Wanru asked. .

The main question was Hu Qiongyue.

"That side concubine is fine. Please greet me every day, be filial and respectful. The empress dowager has mentioned the matter of the emperor's eldest grandson several times. Even the empress has let go." Shopkeeper Qiao said: "Speaking of which, this is still It's really not easy, the way to manipulate people's hearts is very sophisticated."

"She wants to climb up, and with the backing of the Chengdu Mansion, no one dares to do anything to her." Si Sanbao said: "Even if the concubine enters the door in the future, she will be under her pressure and unable to turn over."

Shopkeeper Qiao sighed, "On the contrary, the Fifth Prince and the Fourth Prince have become more and more profitable recently. Who knows, in the end, they will be the ones who stand out."

Some things, people are not as good as God.

At this moment, Hu Qiongyue had just come out of the palace, her mother-in-law helped her into the carriage, followed her up, closed the door, and the mother-in-law said in a low voice: "Just now in the palace, I heard someone say that Marquis Changxing came from the Chengdu mansion came back."

"Come back?" Hu Qiongyue raised her eyebrows, "Is he alone, hasn't Marquis Zhennan come back?"

She never found out where Su Wanru had gone, and only later did she hear that Su Wanru also went to Chengdu Mansion with her.

What did she do in Chengdu Mansion?
Could it be that he wanted to borrow troops from Xiao Shan?

This is impossible, Xiao Shan is not a fool, how could he entrust his family's life and his ancestor's century-old foundation to an unknown person.

"I heard that Marquis Changxing will leave in a few days. It is said that Marquis Zhennan will personally report the situation there to the Holy Majesty." He said again: "The Holy Majesty announced that he has entered the palace."

Hu Qiongyue nodded, and said: "Try to find a way to go to the Marquis of Changxing to find out, what is he doing, and suddenly wants to go back."

She felt that this matter had something to do with Su Wanru.

But I can't imagine what will happen.

"Don't die, Su Wanru." Hu Qiongyue sneered, "You haven't kowtowed to me yet."

Zhu Xun left first, and two days later, Yang and Zhu Yin said they were going to Gansu. They took Zhou Xian, three of them with four or five carriages, and went to Gansu as if they had moved. They bought a house near the old Changxinghou's grave. , busy for more than half a month, and settled down with peace of mind.

In the middle of November, the three of them quietly rode away, all the way west, and arrived at Chengdu Mansion on the second day of the twelfth lunar month.

　Getting married tomorrow!Tomorrow night, I will write about the bridal chamber and put it in the group. If you want to see it, you can go and see it. If you really don’t want to join the group... Ahem... It seems that I have no choice.Ha ha ha ha!
