Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 83 The Wedding Banquet
At the end of the first month, the Chen family was going to have Chen Wenren's wedding, and the princes and ministers in the capital sent invitations one after another.

The emperor personally conferred the imperial order on Zeng's family, and also rewarded the town bed Ruyi, and the courtiers naturally followed suit.

Among them, the house of Zuoling Sanguan Bao Guo Luoluo is quite special, which is the mother's house of Concubine Yi in the palace.

The Chen family was surprised, they had never heard Chen Wenxin say that he was on good terms with this concubine Yi, and even this concubine intended to frame her for giving away her son Guanyin.

Then why did Guo Luoluo's family send such a generous gift?

"Perhaps it was Madam Yipin who ordered you to marry our family?"

Zheng Shi has no heart, she didn't think of the bad.

Chen/Xihai has been working in the palace for half his life, what kind of intrigue has he never heard of?He only thinks of the bad.

"I sent a letter to my daughter, but she didn't say that. Instead, she said that Yipin's palace made rumors to frame her, and she dealt with it."

Mrs. Zheng was startled, "This Yipin is such a person, let's return this gift quickly?"

The gifts of Guo Luoluo's family can be regarded as generous, but not thick enough to be an excuse to return.

Withdrawing someone's gift without any reason, wouldn't it be a good excuse to make people think that the Chen family is bullying others?
It would be even worse if people mistakenly think that the concubine Qin in the palace deliberately targeted concubine Yi's mother's family.

"Let's see what Guo Luoluo's family looked like on the day of the wedding banquet. You tell Wen Yiming to go home early, and I will discuss it with him."

I don't know when, in Chen/Xihai's mind, Chen Wenyi has become the pillar of the family.When he encounters a major matter that cannot be resolved, he will not think of discussing it with Chen Wenren, but think of Chen Wenyi.

Zheng Shi secretly noticed this change, and was delighted in her heart.

As long as the father and son are not top-notch, she will be relieved.

Chen Wenyi usually stayed in the green battalion when he left court. According to the establishment, he was still the general of the green battalion, but he was not directly in charge of affairs.

Chen Wenren is still on guard in the Green Battalion. He is busy with the training of the soldiers in the camp and food and grass every day.

"What is this for?"

During the afternoon break, Chen Wenren went to Chen Wenyi's yamen and saw that he was holding a carving knife and a small long piece of white jade in his hand.

"It's nothing, just play when you have nothing to do."

Chen Wenren went up to take a closer look, and saw that the piece of white jade was shiny and smooth, with few flaws.A human figure is vaguely carved on it, with a beautiful face.

He was just about to say why this character was carved just like Chen Wenyi himself, when he suddenly realized, "Is this for Third Sister?"

The person above is not Chen Wenyi, but Chen Wenxin.

Chen Wenxin's birthday is coming soon.

"Ah."

He responded in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the white jade in his hand, as if he was afraid of making a mistake.

Chen Wenren stopped talking for fear of distracting him.

Not long after, Chen Wenyi put down the things in his hands and asked him: "The emperor approved the document on the reform of the shotgun, at least it is [-]% accurate. I am going to pick people from your hands and build the first team to stand up."

The garrison official position is not big, but there are hundreds of people under him.It is precisely because the official position is lower and closer to the soldiers, it is better to choose manpower.

Chen Wenren heard that the eight points are accurate, and hurriedly put down the tea ceremony: "How many people are you going to pick?"

"One hundred, the elimination system will be adopted, and fifty will be left in the end."

Chen Wenyi obviously had a plan in his mind, "You only pick those who are sincerely willing to use the shotgun, even if they are thinner and weaker."

The key to using a gun is not force, but accuracy and care.

He is confident that he can bring out the first shotgun team, and let the government and the public see how powerful the shotgun is.

The shotgun has its origin since the Song Dynasty, and it has been developing in later generations.

In the Qing Dynasty, the power and safety of this object were greatly improved.However, there was no unified organization in the barracks, or special personnel were sent to form a shotgun team, but they were used purely for hunting.

What a waste.

The success of the Green Camp in the battle to pacify the San Francisco actually has a lot to do with the use of shotguns.

Inspired by Chen Wenyi, he wrote to the emperor to set up a special team to use shotguns, and even equip the entire army with shotguns.

"It depends on you."

The emperor has clearly approved it, so he can let go.

"Brother chooses the manpower for me, and let me handle the rest, so that brother can concentrate on marrying his sister-in-law."

Chen Wenyi curled his lips into a teasing smile.

"Cough cough..."

The Chen family's family education is very strict, and they are not allowed to have maids or take concubines before they get married.Chen Wenren was married for the first time, and his face was still very thin, so Chen Wenyi couldn't resist saying that.

"Didn't mother tell you to go home earlier today? Father has something to tell you, why don't you hurry up!"

He remembered that Zheng had indeed explained this before going to court today.

When Chen Wenyi clicked, he stood up and cupped his hands, "Then I'll go ahead."

He thought that Chen/Xihai wanted to discuss with him about Chen Wenren's wedding banquet, so he approached him because he was afraid that Chen Wenren would be ashamed.

He rode his horse back to the mansion against the wind, and the servant took his horse to feed him and told him that Chen/Xihai was waiting for him in the main room.

Stepping into the lobby of the main house, Chen/Xihai and Mrs. Zheng were talking through the shepherd boy Niu Kangping.

The fire in the room was burning vigorously, Ying'er came up to take the cloak he had untied, and he went forward to greet Chen/Xihai and Zheng Shi.

Mrs. Zheng was still holding Xinna's soles in her hand, and when she saw him, she asked how the weather was outside and whether it was cold on the way back.

Chen Wenyi naturally answered calmly.

He is a member of the military camp, how could he be so weak.

Ever since Chen Wenli and Chen Wenxin went to the palace to study, leaving early and returning late every day, Zheng's life became more and more boring.

Fortunately, after Chen/Xihai was promoted to first-class bodyguard, he no longer had to spend time in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and he didn't have to run around so hard.

Zheng has no son to discipline, so he and Chen/Xihai get together every day, and they seem very close.

"Sit down and talk."

Chen/Xihai asked Yinger to bring hot tea. He always rides a horse outside, and the hot tea can drive away the cold outside.

Looking at Chen Wenyi's figure, he seemed to see again that day's New Year's Eve banquet at Qianqing Palace, his calmness and high spirits.

"Zuo Ling and the three officials who protect Guo Luoluo's family, have you ever been in contact with them?"

"Never."

Chen/Xihai nodded, he knew that his children would not associate with others behind his back.Especially the family of officials and eunuchs, whenever they have contacts, they will report to him as the father.

"Empress Yi in the palace is not close to Wen Xin, she even has the intention of framing her. Being a father is very strange, and the congratulatory gifts from Guo Luoluo's family are three points thicker than usual."

Guo Luoluo's family?

Chen Wenyi suddenly thought of something and narrowed his eyes slightly.

A few days ago when he was in court, a young girl bumped into his horse on the way from the palace gate to the green camp.

He didn't ride the horse fast in the city, and he reined in the horse in time without causing any damage.

The woman's servant claimed to be the leader of the three officials who protected Guo Luoluo's residence. Chen Wenyi saw that she was not injured, so he just said he was offended and left on his own.

Thinking about it now, the last time I went to visit Chen Wenxin in the palace, I saw the woman in scarlet clothes on the rockery in the distance in the plum garden of Yikun Palace, it seemed to be her...

Concubine Yi and Chen Wenxin in the palace were promoted on the same day, and Guo Luoluo's family also came to the palace to visit on that day...

This makes sense.

Chen Wenyi was a little embarrassed, it would be rude to say this in front of his parents.

Seeing his expression, Mrs. Zheng knew that he had a clue, "What did you think of, but let's talk about it, please refer to it for details."

Chen/Xihai looked at him, he cleared his throat, and said the matter in the most euphemistic language possible.

"I've always been careful when riding my horse. It was indeed the lady from Guo Luoluo's family who ran into me that day. I felt someone was watching me in the plum garden in the palace. When I looked over, she left. Now that I think about it, it happened to be the right one. number..."

Zheng Shi and Chen/Xihai naturally understood what it meant.

It seems that the second lady of Guo Luoluo's family is interested in Chen Wenyi, that's why Guo Luoluo's family came to tie the knot.

Manchu women are tough and bold, and they are used to seeing them.

Chen Wenyi came out of the Chen family, and the matchmaker who said he was a relative broke through the threshold.

Originally, only the woman was said to be a relative, but when it came to Chen Wenyi's place, everything was reversed.

Not only those who talked about kissing, but also those who climbed the wall, and those who went to the door to inquire, so frightened the guards of the Chen family that they were afraid when they saw a woman.
-
I'm afraid it's to seduce my second young master.

Thanks to Chen Wenxin who was sent to the palace early, otherwise it would have caused more covetousness.

Beauty has been misleading since ancient times!
Chen/Xihai stared at Chen Wenyi's face, and sighed helplessly.

No wonder he was born, what kind of skin was not given by their parents?

If you want to blame, you can only blame him and Mrs. Zheng for giving birth to their siblings so well.

Mrs. Zheng doesn't think so. Her son is handsome and handsome, and other girls like her. She is very beautiful as a mother.

When she went out occasionally, when she went to the houses of other princes and ministers, she was always admired by the stars.

Especially wives who have unmarried women of the right age at home are all vying to marry her.

This made Zheng Shi afraid to go out to socialize for a while, for fear of favoring one and discriminating against another, and fearing that someone would talk about Chen Wenyi's marriage and she would be speechless.

Chen Wenyi has his own ideas, his marriage, it's better for him to choose by himself.

But this time it was Chen Wenren's wedding banquet, so he couldn't refuse it, so he couldn't stop someone like Guo Luoluo's family.
