I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

March in Yangchun is the time when the peach blossoms are burning.

Flocks of sheep gather on the verdant hillside, which looks like a moving cloud from a distance.Wildflowers are scattered in the grass ditches by the roadside, mostly yellow, but also pink and purple.The sky is blue like washing, and the spring breeze is blowing on the face, making people feel as warm and bright as this spring.

The woman in the carriage stopped the carriage, and a middle-aged man dressed like a domestic servant stepped forward to serve him.The man in Tsing Yi, who was riding in front, noticed that the carriage behind him had stopped, so he quickly turned his horse and rode back.

"Why did you stop? Ma'am, is she unwell?" The man in Tsing Yi was Zhao Zhen, who was looking in the direction of the carriage with concern.

Luo Chongxun hurriedly explained to Zhao Zhen with an apologetic smile: "The queen mother is so rare that there are wild flowers on the roadside, so she asked the slave to pick some."

"Why use you?" Zhao Zhen jumped off his horse quickly, stepped down from the grass ditch by the side of the road, picked a bunch of wild flowers, and presented them respectfully to Empress Dowager Liu.

It is rare for Empress Dowager Liu to leave the palace once. Looking at the spring scene by the roadside, she can't help but think of her lonely and helpless past when she was young.

"At that time, I couldn't enjoy these sights, and I focused on seeing which grass was still edible, but I was lucky if I didn't starve to death."

Zhao Zhen knew that the Empress Dowager was born in a lonely life. She had no father or mother since she was a child, and she didn't even have a single relative. To be able to sit on the position of Empress Dowager all the way, I don't know how much I have gone through.

Empress Dowager Liu smelled the wild flowers in her hand, and sighed with a smile: "It's different from the ones raised in the palace."

"If the aunt likes it, my son will have these wild flowers transplanted to the Hall of Compassion."

"Then it's not like this." Empress Dowager Liu smiled, told Zhao Zhen not to ride a horse, and went with her in the car, and asked Luo Chongxun how long it would take to arrive.

"It's coming soon, I guess we will arrive in less than a stick of incense." Luo Chongxun was afraid that the queen mother would be tired, so he pretended to be angry and sighed, "It's true that the official Han Tui chose the wedding residence outside Beijing. How can it be as convenient and lively as Beijing.”

"What do you know?" The queen mother scolded Luo Chongxun.

Luo Chongxun hurriedly slapped himself, promising that he was stupid.

"If Cui Qiniang knew that Da Niang Niang specially came to attend her wedding, she would be very pleasantly surprised." Zhao Zhen laughed.

"I was going to pretend to be an ordinary woman to watch the excitement, but the officials came too. I hope we don't become frightened when we go."

"How can it be? Han Zhigui is not a coward, and as for Cui Qiniang, she is even more so." Zhao Zhen sat beside Empress Dowager Liu with a smile, talking about family matters while looking at the scenery outside the car.For a moment, he felt that he and Empress Dowager Liu were living an ordinary life like an ordinary mother and child.

"Ma'am, do you know why Han Qi chose a mansion outside Beijing to get married?" Zhao Zhen became curious when he heard the Queen Mother talk to Luo Chongxun just now.

Thinking of Cui Tao, the queen mother couldn't help but think of her witty way of telling herself stories with a tone, and a particularly happy smile appeared on her face.

"Because of that peach grove, today I also want to try the taste of 'drinking peach wine under the peach blossom tree' that the peach girl said."

Of course, there are other reasons. She has been busy taking care of state affairs and government affairs in the palace these years, and she hasn't seen the outside of the palace for a long time, so she can be satisfied together by taking this opportunity.

"Hearing what the aunt said, my son wants to try it too."

……

Although the Six Ceremonies are a wedding custom handed down from ancient times, by the time of the Song Dynasty, the ceremony of welcoming the bride had been gradually relaxed. It was not as in the past that the groom had to go to the bride's home to greet the bride in person, and just send a matchmaker to go. The scholar-bureaucrats who value etiquette and rules seldom follow this custom.Han Qi insisted on marrying Cui Tao in person, and he also arranged the makeup before the wedding very grandly.

Three days before the big wedding, the man will give the woman the grooming items needed by the bride, such as crowns, pollen, colored coins and fruits.Originally, there were not many items in total, and they could be delivered in one or two boxes, but it was Han Qi's turn to transport three trucks, and he couldn't help but have everything, and each item was of various types, such as gold hijab, flower fan, There are more than [-] different styles of pollen, collecting almost all the styles on the market, no matter how picky Cui Tao is, he can pick what he likes.

Wang Siniang and Ping'er, as their mother's family, were responsible for hanging curtains in their new house on the morning of their wedding day, which is called the house shop.Use the best red silk to make the curtains, embroidered with dark patterns of happy characters, and hanging them will fill the new house with a sense of festiveness.The new quilt made of smooth silk satin, embroidered with lush peach blossoms on the quilt, laid flat on the bed, has a sense of spring, which fits the atmosphere of "Spring Festival", the more you look at it, the more you feel it is suitable.

Wang Siniang also prepared a medicinal pillow with an aphrodisiac scent, which was picked up by Ping'er after she found out, and thrown out.

"You dare to bring anything, how can you hide this from Mrs. Cui? She found out later, she will definitely settle accounts with you and break your hand!"

"I'm afraid that the official Han Tui will be shy at the critical moment and delay the matter. I asked the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, and it's just a little bit of fun, so it won't hurt you." Wang Siniang explained with a smile, discussing with Ping'er It's better to put it away.

"No, you don't want to order me to have more." Ping'er firmly disagreed.

Wang Siniang had no choice but to stuff the two pillows under the bed when Pinger was not paying attention.I only hope that her little nephew or niece will arrive soon!

When welcoming the bride, Han Qi wore a deep crimson dress and rode on a maroon horse. His face was like a crown of jade, his figure was slender, and his spirit surpassed that of the past.He led the way, and the men behind him carried various items such as vases, flower candles, incense balls, and Shaluo washing clothes. The team was mighty, attracting passers-by to watch.

At first glance, this handsome man is gentle and gentle, making people covet the second and third glances, but when he gets closer, he can clearly see that the handsome man's eyebrows and eyes are completely cold, and his eyes are as if When you seem to have nothing to sweep through the crowd, there is a freshness, just like the alpine cedar, you can admire its grace from a distance, but you will know that it is unattainable when you look closely.

People who don't know Han Qi can't help but join in the fun and ask who this handsome bridegroom is. When they hear that he is Han Tuiguan, they feel a burst of surprise.

The most frightening thing is that such a man who is as bright as the sun and the moon is in his arms is a person of amazing talent.If someone is only good-looking, you can still say that his parents gave him a good gift, but this person is not only good-looking, but also unmatched in talent and learning. Full of admiration and worship.

Urged by her mother early in the morning, Cui Tao took a bath and changed her clothes. She wore a dark blue sleeves, a long skirt, and a scarf on the outside, and was decorated with gold, silver, pearls and emeralds.The so-called people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Cui Tao's appearance is twice as good as before. In the past, when she was dressed in plain clothes, she was as pretty as a lotus in water. Today, she is not only delicate but also delicate. Added a touch of seductive beauty, even if a woman looked at her, she couldn't move her eyes.

"How is it?" Mrs. Ma happily asked Cui Tao to look in the mirror to see if there was any dissatisfaction.

Cui Tao stared at herself in the mirror, smiled and stretched out her hand to poke 'her' in the face, "Look, mother, she's so pretty!"

One sentence made everyone in the room burst into laughter, and Mrs. Cui was so happy that her stomach ached, and the tears that were about to come out were laughed back.At this moment, no one laughed and said that Cui Tao had a thick skin, they all agreed with what she said, the beauty in the mirror is really beautiful, no one can compare to her today.

The little maid came in a hurry to say that the welcoming team had arrived, and she prepared food and wine to entertain them, and gave away bonuses.

When the time was announced, Si Li recited auspicious poems according to the custom and urged the bride to leave.Mrs. Cui finally couldn't hold back her tears, and Mrs. Ma was also affected and wiped away her tears.

"Look at the high-spirited, talented and beautiful groom, the granddaughter is married well, and the grandmother can rest assured that whatever the granddaughter gets in the future, she will definitely give it to her natal family."

Mrs. Cui burst into laughter immediately, "Puhouer, what nonsense are you talking about? If your grandson-in-law listens to this and wonders what our family really wants to take advantage of him, it will be bad if the relationship between your husband and wife is divided." .”

"He must have no objection." Cui Tao still has this confidence.

"Some things shouldn't be said now, but mother knows that you are not a taboo person."

Xiao Ma took Cui Tao's hand and whispered.

"I see that son-in-law Han treats you with great care. It's good to be able to treat you well. If you can't... Mother is afraid that you have too high expectations for a man, even if you marry him as a wife, don't give your heart too much. This man Ah, most of the time it was when I got married, I mixed oil with you and treated you well in every possible way. After a long time, it may not be new."

Cui Tao knew that Mrs. Ma was reminding her from her personal experience, so she obediently agreed, and please rest assured that Mrs. Ma will never be the one who suffers.

Seeing that her daughter was so determined, Mrs. Ma laughed through tears, feeling very relieved.Hao Sheng tidied up Cui Tao's clothes, then watched Cui Tao go.

The bride sits on the flower eaves, but after getting on the sedan chair, the bearers will not start immediately. They have to make a fuss as usual, begging for a reward for the wine, and then raise the eaves.

This time to welcome the relatives, Wang Zhao and the others all joined in the fun by acting as accomplices. After leaving Bianjing happily, they did not expect to encounter two short-sighted people who stopped them and begged for rewards on the way, and they were still wearing yamen clothes. .In the past few years, there were some bad habits. When encountering weddings and funerals, some "rogues" in the yamen would take the opportunity to intercept and congratulate them on the way, and ask for food and drink. To put it bluntly, it is blackmail.

This problem was banned as early as [-], but it still exists today. The most important thing is that these two people are really unlucky, they just blocked the wedding party of their Kaifeng mansion, and if they don't clean them up, they will feel sorry for them Such 'good' luck.

Wang Zhao pulled the two of them to the side of the road like chickens, and asked them which yamen they came from and what their names were.

"Bold! Knowing that we are members of the official family, how dare you be so presumptuous!" Hu San yelled at Wang Zhao, then showed his waist card, and told Wang Zhao that they were from the Taikang county government, and they happened to be ordered to go there today. Kaifeng Mansion.

Hu Sanzhi specifically mentioned Kaifeng Mansion because he felt that Kaifeng Mansion was famous and these people must have heard of it.

Wang Zhao patted Hu San's shoulder hard, and Hu San immediately tilted his beaten shoulder to dodge in pain.

"Brother, they were born from the same root, so it's too anxious to have each other."

Wang Zhao pulled out his waist card and showed them. The two of them were so frightened that they almost peed their pants, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Today is a day of great joy for our Han Tui officials, how dare you come to make trouble."

"Han... Han Tuiguan, but the Han Tuiguan from Kaifeng Mansion?" His voice became more and more trembling.

"Aren't you talking nonsense, who else is there besides him?" Hu San scolded his companion, his voice trembling, and he repeatedly kowtowed to Wang Zhao for mercy.

The two of them used to do this in Taikang County. Those who hold weddings are auspicious, and if they don't want to cause any trouble on their wedding day, they will be dismissed more or less, without exception.This time when they were ordered to go to Beijing, they saw the mighty team on the road, as if a rich family was getting married. They were a little hesitant at first, but they hadn't arrived in the capital yet. Those in Beijing, how could they go out?So the two of them came forward greedily and boldly, and started blackmailing.But he really didn't expect that he was blind this time and broke ground on Tai Sui's head!

The two kowtowed to Wang Zhao over and over again, begging for mercy.

Wang Zhao snorted, "I'm so happy today, it's really inappropriate to send you in. How about this, let's give you a chance to reform yourselves, and go back to Kang County to tell your county magistrate honestly about all your crimes. I will investigate afterwards. If there is even a little bit of concealment, hmph, then I won't be merciful."

The two had no choice but to say thank you, and left in despair.

When the welcoming team finally arrives in front of the gate of the house, the flower eaves are lowered, and a green felt flower mat is spread in front of the sedan chair, so that the bride's feet cannot touch the ground, which has the meaning of eliminating disasters and ensuring safety.Then, Wangmen scatter grain beans, which means the same.

At this time, another group of people blocked the door, chanting door-blocking poems, molesting newcomers with auspicious words, and begging for rewards.

"Xian'e came down to the human world, and returned to the cave in glory. Today, the gate is full of joy, and the flower box is profitable." 1

"The groom is really a lucky man, married to a lady like a fairy, the little people also want to be happy and blessed, please trouble the groom to give some rewards to the little people!"

The one who spoke first was Bo He'an, servant of the Eight Immortals Building, and he was in charge of the tea and wine reception for this wedding banquet.As soon as He An said this, he immediately summoned a group of people to make a fuss.

Originally, everyone was looking forward to what kind of sharp lines Han Dacai would answer the door-blocking poem, but they didn't want Han Qi to just open his mouth and just say two words.

"How many?"

"It can't be less, there are so many of us!"

Everyone booed again.

Han Qi winked at Zhang Chang and Wang Zhao, and the two immediately carried down a bag of money from their horses.

"Everyone, first come, first served!" Wang Zhao and Zhang Chang were also smart, dragging their bags to the side, never blocking the way.

Seeing this, the crowd immediately started looting, and when they filled their purses one by one, they realized that they wanted to see the bride, but they found that they had already gone in.Although they all got the money, they somehow felt that they had lost a lot!

Passing through the middle door, stepping over the saddle, and supported by two trusted female envoys, Cui Tao entered the house and sat on the bed, which is called "sit on the bed to be rich".

Han Qi came after him, and the two of them saluted. As usual, they had to pay respects to the family temple first. If they didn't have one, they saved it and changed to worship the heaven and the earth. They also had to pay homage to the Hu family. Together.

After all the steps were over, Cui Tao was really tired. It wasn't that she was physically weak, but mainly because the whole process made people worry and be careful, so they tended to get overly nervous.So much so that when she and Han Qi drank the wine, she only felt thirsty and drank the wine like water, causing Han Qi to keep looking at her.

Originally, the atmosphere was a bit ambiguous when the two of them got close to drink the wine, but now everyone in the new house retreated, and Cui Tao, who had drunk the wine, was still a little blushing and her body was hot, so she felt the atmosphere became hotter.

"The empress dowager and the officials are also here." Han Qi carefully looked at Cui Tao's clothes from top to bottom, unable to conceal the astonishment in his eyes.He took Cui Tao's hand and sat down beside the bed.

"what--"

"What's wrong?" Han Qi hurriedly asked.

Cui Tao got up and cleaned up the five-color concentric flowers and fruits scattered all over the bed, so as not to let these things hurt people again.Han Qi didn't move, just sat and watched.

"Well, why don't you help?" Cui Tao conveniently peeled two fruits and put them in his mouth to eat. Seeing that Han Qi was in meditation like an eminent monk, he went to push him.

Han Qi regained his composure, grabbed Cui Tao's hand, and pulled her into his arms.

"The lady is so beautiful."

Cui Tao rubbed happily in Han Qi's arms, "By the way, I just said that the official family and the queen mother are coming, can you have a good reception?"

"No, it's hard to have anyone else in my heart today, only my wife." Han Qi stared at Cui Tao more intently.

Cui Tao hurriedly asked: "Did Liu Lang neglect the officials and the Queen Mother?"

"They didn't intend to see us. A tree of peach blossoms, a pot of good wine, and a quiet place to join in the fun, so it's not considered negligent."

Han Qi stroked Cui Tao's cheek with his slender index finger, and asked her in a low voice if she still wanted to talk about other people on their wedding night.

At this time, Cui Tao noticed Han Qi's enthusiastic gaze. Just now, seeing that he didn't even make the bed, she thought that he was too tired to be interested in that aspect, or that he was too shy to move.

Knowing that he is not like that now, Cui Tao deliberately pretended to be confused and asked him: "Then what does Liu Lang want to talk about?"

"Still called Liulang?" Han Qi always lowered his voice when he said this, the warmth was accompanied by a low-pitched magnetism, just like the enchanting magic voice, making people willing to listen to him.

"Husband."

"good."

Holding Cui Tao's delicate face, Han Qi bowed his head and kissed her on the lips, bit her lips lightly, pried open her white teeth, and stuck his tongue in.Obviously the movements are extremely gentle, but every step seems to be premeditated. When Cui Tao didn't react in time, all her breath was absorbed.

After a kiss, Cui Tao blushed and her heart beat, her breathing became disordered.

What happened next made Cui Tao's face even hotter.

Cui Tao did not expect that a person who looks extremely gentle and gentle on weekdays made her doubt that a person who would be too shy to do anything on the wedding night would be so open.

For the first time, like sparks of fire, extremely gentle, but also jerky exploration.But then it was like a prairie fire, and the burning became more and more prosperous.Of course, it can also be compared to a flood that has been held back for a long time and finally bursts its embankment, and it is surging.

For Cui Tao, who loves food, if she had to use anything to describe her current state, it would be like the fish on the chopping board, turned over and over, stuffed with sauce.

In the early morning of the next day, Cui Tao woke up to the sound of chirping birds, her eyes were still dazed, she sighed hoarsely that she was thirsty, and then warm tea was brought to her mouth.

Cui Tao looked at Han Qi, who was dressed neatly and looking very energetic, and was about to ask him if he picked up Yin to replenish Yang last night, when he heard the maids outside the door woke up.

After serving tea to Mrs. Hu, Cui Tao accepted the gift from Mrs. Hu, and wanted to chat with Mrs. Hu, not wanting Mrs. Hu to rub her head and sigh tired, so she sent Cui Tao and Han Qi away.

The two went to visit Taoyuan, and now the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the pink petals flew up when the wind blew, like a rain of peach blossoms.In the gazebo in the garden, some wine and vegetables have been prepared, and they have a drink with their husband and wife.

Cui Tao tasted the handicrafts of Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Fang among the small dishes served with wine, so she knew that Mrs. Hu loved her, and wanted them to spend more time with each other, so she didn't bother her.

Han Qi danced the sword for Cui Tao under the peach blossom tree, and Cui Tao remembered that he was also a person who could play the piano, so he played a song in response to the occasion.It's just like "you can drink wine with your words, grow old together, and keep the harp in your hands, so it's better to be quiet", the days of gods and couples are nothing more than this.

Before dinner, Cui Tao went back to the dormitory first.When approaching the bed, she suddenly sniffed her nose twice, smelling a strange smell, followed the smell to find under the bed, and found the two medicinal pillows that Wang Siniang had placed before.As soon as she took the pillow apart and took a look at the medicinal materials inside, Cui Tao knew what it was for.

After cursing Wang Siniang casually, she ordered someone to throw the pillow away, and Cui Tao understood why Han Qi acted like a wolf last night.

It was night, Han Qi hugged Cui Tao tenderly, and kissed her lightly on the face.

Cui Tao thought in her heart that it must be normal this time.

After lights out—

"Madam, do you still like to be called an adult?"

It seems that it has nothing to do with the medicine pillow!

Immediately, Cui Tao bit Han Qi's ear, leaned on Han Qi's body and asked, "Be honest, how many books did my husband read that I shouldn't have read before marriage?"

"It's not much. If you are rich in learning, you need at least five cars."

"Han Zhigui, you have amnesia!"

Cui Tao knew that Han Qi had a good memory, and if he had really watched Wuche, the 'knowledge' he had absorbed would be quite extensive and rich.

The old driver Cui Tao felt a strong sense of crisis at this moment.

Han Qi thought Cui Tao didn't like the proposal, and was about to make amends to her when Cui Tao spoke again.

"Anyway, my lord, this is what I thought of first, you are not allowed to grab it." After finishing speaking, Cui Tao leaned close to Han Qi's ear, calling lord over and over again in his soft and sticky voice, with a bone-wracking ecstasy. It broke his heart and killed him.

The red tent rolled and rolled, and it didn't stop for a long time.

After Cui Tao took a bath, Han Qi let her comb her hair.

Looking at Han Qi's handsome face in the bronze mirror, Cui Tao finally decided to ask: "My husband was shy before marriage, but why is he not after marriage?"

Han Qi caressed Cui Tao's long black hair, and smiled lightly: "Miss, do you think that's embarrassment?"

"What is that?" Cui Tao was puzzled.

"It's forbearance... no attack."

Cui Tao instantly understood everything.

It turned out that I was afraid of not being able to bear it, so I held back and looked shy.Poor her, she always felt that Han Qi was shy and teased him endlessly, so it's no wonder that he would 'retaliate' like that on his wedding night.So to sum it up, it seems that she shot herself in the foot with a rock?

"No man will sit still with a woman he likes." Han Qi hugged Cui Tao from behind and kissed her on the cheek, "So, it's okay to finally get married and go home."

Yes, very good!

Cui Tao silently stamped her approval in her heart, but she didn't say it out, because she was afraid that someone would show off more if she said it out.

On the third day after their marriage, the two prepared the homecoming ceremony and set off for Cui's house in Anping.

Previously, in order to facilitate the marriage, Mrs. Cui, Xiao Ma and others came to Cui Tao's residence in Bianjing to give Cui Tao a wedding, and then they returned to Anping.

Now the whole family of the Cui family finally waited for the newlyweds to return home, greeted them happily, and prepared a sumptuous banquet to welcome them.
