Chapter 84
The wedding was approaching, and compared to the others, Zhao Qinghe seemed very leisurely.Both Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Zhang were happy to worry about it, so he had nothing to do.It's not that Zhao Qinghe was lazy, he tried to express his opinion before, but he was dismissed.Although Zhao Qinghe was looking forward to marrying Chang Tingzhao and being together in an open and aboveboard manner, he was very impatient with these red tapes and was incompatible with Madam Hou and Mrs. Zhang's concept, so it would be strange to talk about it together.
Although Mrs. Zhang was born in a peasant household, there are many rules in the countryside as long as the marriage is important to her family, not to mention she understands what a wedding means very well.Coupled with Mrs. Hou's adviser, the two spent more time planning together than with their own husband.The relationship between the two has become better because of this. Zhang's relationship with Mrs. Hou is not as cautious as it was at the beginning. Although it is still different from getting along with a country woman, they can still talk about it.
Zhao Qinghe saw that the two were enthusiastic and believed that they would do well, so he was happy to let it go.If he and Chang Tingzhao's marriage hadn't been mixed with many other things, he really didn't care about the wedding, just pull a certificate and it's over.The two of them have done what they should do. The important thing about getting married is to get along with each other in the future. A ceremony is nothing, and even finds it troublesome.
Zhao Qinghe can not care about other things, but there is one thing Zhao Qinghe insists on, that is, he is determined not to wear a red hijab or get on a sedan chair, which is really stupid.As a big man, being a wife is enough to be aggrieved, and there will be many constraints in the future, and he has to learn how to be a big girl in a sedan chair, and he won't be laughed to death.
Chang Tingzhao didn't take it seriously, and agreed straightforwardly, but Madam Hou and Mrs. Zhang were quite dissatisfied and chattered in Zhao Qinghe's ears.Although I have agreed, I can't help but say something every time I see it.Although there are some men in Dayou who don't sit on the sedan chair or cover their heads, most of them still follow the etiquette of women's marriage and marry themselves as women.At the beginning when Yunxi married the Thirteenth Prince, she got on the bridal sedan chair, which caused Zhao Qinghe to ridicule him when he saw him, and made Yunxi's teeth itch when he saw him.
Three days before the wedding, Zhao Qinghe moved into the residence of the Marquis of Zhongyi. The Marquis of Zhongyi was willing to do so. Zhao Qinghe probably only lived in this yard for a few days, but he really spent his money. The courtyard is very luxuriously furnished.
"How is this yard? The step-mother doesn't know what you like, so she does it according to her own will." Mrs. Hou said with a smile, saying so, but seeing the surprise in Zhao Qinghe's eyes, she already knew the result.Moreover, I had discussed it with Mrs. Zhang before, and after getting along with him for more than half a year, I have roughly figured out Zhao Qinghe's preferences.
Zhao Qinghe clasped his hands and said, "Thank you stepmother, this is really great. But I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for a few days, so it would be too wasteful to make such a fuss."
The decorations in the house are all top-grade, and they are very complete. The yard is not small.Zhongyihou is rich and powerful. Although his status is not obvious and he has no achievements in the court, he is good at management and is richer than many princes' families.But Zhao Qinghe still felt a pain in his heart, it was really a waste for such a yard to be left unused here.
Madam Hou said indifferently: "What is this? This is wrong, so he paused for a while and thought about it before opening his mouth again, "This small courtyard must be well-arranged so that people can meet people, and the foster mother is not lying, you are my adopted son, that is what the emperor gave us as a loyal prince." Even if it’s not for you or for the Zhongyihou’s Mansion, it’s just for the sake of the emperor’s face that we have to handle it well.”
After getting along for more than half a year, Mrs. Hou has figured out that Zhao Qinghe doesn't like to listen to those bewitching lies, and if he speaks clearly, it will make him get closer to Jue.
Sure enough, Zhao Qinghe didn't say anything else, but said that if the mansion is not enough to live in in the future, this yard can be divided out, there is no need to keep it for him, such a good yard is for nothing.Madam Hou just smiled and did not reply, and Zhao Qinghe did not continue to dwell on this topic.
"Fourth brother." Zhu Wushao poked his head in and jumped in when he saw that Mrs. Hou was not there.
When Zhao Qinghe saw him, he felt like rubbing his chubby face. This guy is actually not very fat, but for some reason, his face is very round and looks fleshy. His face is full of collagen, and he wears a lot in winter. It looks like a ball.
"Why do you look like a thief? Did you do something shameful?"
Zhu Wushao smirked, and kept looking into the room, "How can it be, it's just that the stepmother would send me to study as soon as she saw me, and I was scared when I saw her."
Zhu Wushao is a concubine, so he can't inherit the title, and although Zhu Wushao looks stupid and slow in dealing with people, he is the most knowledgeable in Zhongyihou's mansion.He passed the scholar examination at a young age, and won the first Nailian student, so he will take the provincial examination this year.If Zhu Wushao can be admitted to Jinshi in the future, not only he himself but also the entire Zhongyihou Mansion will follow Guangyao, so the Zhongyihou Mansion will attach great importance to it.Although Hou Zhongyi is willing to be a cook, it doesn't mean that he doesn't want his children and clansmen to produce talents. In this way, the whole Hou Mansion has a different style.Just take care of one or two, and the future will be bright, which can add a boost to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion.
This was also one of the reasons why Marquis Zhongyi was not willing to marry Fifth Young Master Zhu to Chang Tingzhao, but the sixth prince insisted that they had nothing to do. But it is also difficult to make the reputation and prestige of the entire Hou Mansion better and its position stronger.Zhao Qinghe couldn't help but secretly sighed, these six princes are venomous, this can be said to kill two birds with one stone, firstly, inserting his own people into Chang Tingzhao's side, secondly, making the Zhongyihou's mansion only attached to him, with no other way out .
"It's because mother cares about you. If you don't let you go to study, you will be worried." Zhao Qinghe said with a smile. If the mistress is not open-minded enough, she is afraid that the son-in-law will overshadow the son-in-law, she will definitely suppress her.Although this Mrs. Hou often showed a foolish appearance, she had a very clear plan in her heart. She knew what was good for her and how to maximize her benefits under the given situation. She could be called a smart woman under the rules of this world.
Zhu Wushao is not only in awe of Madam Hou but also very close, and his affection for Madam Hou is definitely no worse than that of his own mother.Zhao Qinghe felt that Mrs. Hou was very unusual, at least if it was him, she would never be able to do so.
Zhu Wushao smirked and scratched his head, "I know my mother is doing it for my own good, but I don't want to read recently, and I always feel dizzy."
Zhao Qinghe, who has experienced many battles, naturally understands that this is pre-examination syndrome. Zhu Wushao is under a lot of pressure. Everyone in Zhongyihou's mansion is staring at him. The school is afraid that he will relax for a while, and outsiders are also waiting to see what a cook's family can produce. How many pairs of eyes are staring at him, and the exam will naturally be nervous.
Zhao Qinghe patted him on the shoulder, "There is no need to be so nervous, you are still young and you have opportunities, you just need to work hard, this time won't work next time, don't push yourself too hard."
Zhu Wushao nodded, "Well, that's what my parents said. I don't have anything to worry about. If I fail the exam, being a cook doesn't affect my reading anyway. I think being a cook is also good. It's just that For a few days, I can only eat some porridge and side dishes every day, and my stomach is very empty, and I always feel that I can’t get enough energy to read books.”
The corners of Zhao Qinghe's mouth twitched, deeply feeling that he was acting affectionate.
Zhu Wushao didn't know the entanglement in Zhao Qinghe's heart, he saw the dim sum on Zhao Qinghe's table with his eyes, and when he saw that Zhao Qinghe didn't care, he sat aside, took it and stuffed it into his stomach.Before Zhao Qinghe could speak, the servants and six sons beside Zhu Wushao rushed over to stop him, "Master, madam told you not to eat indiscriminately!"
Zhu Wushao pouted, looking unhappy, but he didn't dare to stuff it into his mouth, "But I'm so hungry."
Little Six's tone was firm, "That's not going to work either!"
Zhao Qinghe couldn't help being surprised, "Why can't Fifth Brother eat some snacks when he's hungry?"
Zhu Wushao's eyes flickered, and the little six sighed, "Fourth Master, you don't know, our master has gained about twenty catties this winter."
Zhao Qinghe didn't know even more, the Zhu family didn't care about these things, they wished they could get fatter than the other, even the little girls who loved beauty didn't care. "so what?"
"Fourth Master, you don't know something. If you eat like this, you will be like Master Hou. Then the palace test will be very bad."
Zhao Qinghe was stunned, and then remembered that if he was ugly and incomplete in the imperial examination, he would be eliminated if the emperor disliked him.Dayou also regards thinness as beauty, no matter men or women, they wish to be as thin as a piece of paper.The Zhu family didn't care about these before, but if they want to take the scientific examination, they have to control their weight.They are all fat people, and they know that losing weight is not an easy task, so they controlled Zhu Wushao's diet from the beginning, also to prevent him from gaining weight and making it difficult to lose weight in the future.
Zhao Qinghe couldn't help looking at Zhu Wushao sympathetically, "It's true that you should control your diet properly, but you can't be hungry, otherwise how can you read it?"
Zhu Wushao nodded repeatedly, "That's right, I'm so hungry that I can't even read."
Little Six's eyes widened, "Fourth Master, don't listen to our grandfather's nonsense, do you know how much our grandfather ate this morning? Two drawers of steamed buns, a large bowl of hot dry noodles, five large fried dough sticks, Twenty or so dumplings and five eggs. It’s not an hour from now, how can we be hungry. Master Hou said that our Zhu family is most likely to gain weight when they are so old, and once they gain weight, they can’t lose weight, so It has to be controlled."
Zhao Qinghe raised his forehead, is this belly a black hole!Although he has always known how much the family eats, and he has eaten several meals together, he understands it, but he never thought that he would be hungry so quickly.Zhu Wushao looked left and right to avoid Zhao Qinghe's surprised gaze.
Zhao Qinghe understood why Mrs. Hou wanted to guard Zhu Wushao, and why Zhu Wushao was so afraid of Mrs. Hou.If he continues to eat like this, he will be the same tonnage as Lord Hou in a short time.
"You really have to control your diet. You don't exercise much in the winter. Being fat is not only unattractive, but you will also suffer from many diseases if you are too fat."
Zhu Wushao's gaze shifted away from the dim sum, "But my mouth is greedy, I can't help it."
Zhao Qinghe didn't have this experience, so he was helpless, so he could only say, "Just get used to being hungry."
Zhu Wushao pouted, although he was unhappy, but he didn't insist anymore, his eyes kept staring at the snacks on the table, reminding Zhao Qinghe of those evil wolves that night.
This Zhongyi Hou is really not a fat and big-eared stupid pig, he has a purpose in everything he does.Zhao Qinghe knew very well that this was to reassure him, and repeatedly stated that Zhu Wushao had no covetous intentions for Chang Tingzhao.Zhao Qinghe would not be displeased, but just sighed that there is no innocent person in the Duke's family.
On the day of their wedding, Zhao Qinghe was dug up early in the morning, and it was still dark outside the window.
Zhao Qinghe said in a daze: "When is this? It's too early for me to wake up now."
Liuli said: "It's not too early, it's not good if the auspicious time is missed."
Zhao Qinghe had no choice but to rub his eyes and wash his hands.The hot water has been put away by the tassels, and there are still bright red petals floating in the bathtub. It is not easy to find some flowers in the winter.Zhao Qinghe has no expression on his face, he has already gotten used to it, and it's not bad to be able to soak it fragrantly.
Both Liuli and Liusu knew that Zhao Qinghe didn't like being served close to him, so they didn't force him, and just waited outside.
"You won't let me just sit and wait until dawn?" Zhao Qinghe yawned again and again, and Liuli Liusu and the other maids who served her lowered their heads in shame.A group of people have forgotten that Zhao Qinghe is not a woman, so she doesn't pay much attention to it.There is no need to open the face to make up, and the clothes and headgear are simple, so it was done in a short while after being busy.
Liu Li blushed and said: "It's the servant who was negligent, please forgive me, sir."
Zhao Qinghe waved his hand, "It's normal for you to have no experience in this kind of work, but you have to think more about things in the future, and you can't copy them mechanically."
A group of people answered repeatedly. At this time, the small kitchen had already prepared breakfast. Originally, they wanted to stuff two snacks like a woman getting married, but Zhao Qinghe immediately quit.I've been busy all day and don't know where my next meal is, and I can't live without eating so little.He ordered someone to prepare a large bowl of Xaozi noodles. At first, the mother-in-law didn't agree, saying that she had a taste in her mouth after eating, and she was afraid that the groom would be fumigated.And there is soup, I am afraid that I have to go to the toilet halfway.
Zhao Qinghe didn't care so much, getting married was a great thing, if he made himself so miserable, he didn't want to die.The others couldn't help but agree, so Zhao Qinghe ate the glutinous rice noodles contentedly, even though he wasn't hungry, he didn't even finish the soup.
Yan Huang and Yun Xi also came over early in the morning, and Yan Huang smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, "Brother Qinghe, I'm here to put on makeup for you, you're going to have a baby early."
Zhao Qinghe glared at him fiercely, "Don't force me to beat people roughly on this happy day, I don't mind marrying me with blood."
Yan Huang was not afraid of him, and took out a silver ticket from his pocket, "Don't say I don't care, I think money can represent the heart most in this world."
Zhao Qinghe's eyes lit up when he saw it, "My good brother, I don't mind getting married a few more times for the money."
"Bah, bah, bah! You can't say such things on a happy day." Xi Po spat hard on the side, and Liuli and Liusu couldn't help but purse their lips and smile at each other.
Yunxi took out a box, and at a glance, he knew that the things inside were expensive. Zhao Qinghe took it and opened it unceremoniously. His face turned green when he saw it.
"What do you mean by that!"
Yun Xi looked indifferent, "This thing is precious, there is only one in the whole world."
"What's the use of using hairpins for women!" Zhao Qinghe couldn't help shouting.
Yun Xi squinted her eyes and smiled badly, "These are thoughts, and some of them will be really useful. Keep them as family heirlooms, the gems on them are not easy to find."
Every time Zhao Qinghe saw Yunxi, he would unceremoniously ridicule the matter of him taking the lead in covering the sedan chair. Yunxi had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Zhao Qinghe choked, and wanted to say something but Xi Po was staring at him closely. On this happy day, he couldn't speak casually, so he could only accept it aggrievedly. Knowing unreliable friends is really a crime!
Chang Tingzhao rode a tall horse and led a group of people to welcome the bride in high spirits. If he didn't know it, he would think it was a robbery.Those who originally planned to make things difficult, saw his posture and gave way one after another.The eldest son who was ready to carry Zhao Qinghe out of the house had no chance to show it at all, so Chang Tingzhao took Zhao Qinghe in his arms and rode the same horse.In the wind and snow, the two of them were very red and gorgeous, completely ignoring other people's eyes.
Zhao Qinghe originally thought it was stupid to wear a big flower on his chest, but when he saw Chang Tingzhao still looking chic with the big red flower, he immediately felt relieved.
Almost everyone in Beijing knew about their marriage. After all, two men getting married with great fanfare is not an ordinary thing, and one of them is Chang Tingzhao, who is now in the limelight, and more people are watching the show.
Originally thought that Zhao Qinghe was just a little veterinarian, even though he recognized Zhongyihou as his adopted son, it was nothing more than mediocrity, but he didn't expect that the dowry would be 120, which can be called red makeup.
Even Zhao Qinghe wondered how he could have so many dowries, and they were all expensive things.After asking, I found out that Chang Tingzhao’s betrothal gifts accounted for more than half, and the emperor and concubine Yan rewarded them, and the bombs and Malatang restaurants shared some of the profits, as well as some from the old man Zhao and his wife. Yes, it adds up to something spectacular.
"Is it cold?" Chang Tingzhao asked by Zhao Qinghe's ear.
Zhao Qinghe shook his head, "I know that riding a horse deliberately wears a lot."
The corners of Chang Tingzhao's mouth twitched slightly, "I thought you'd gained weight in the past few days after you lived in the Zhongyihou's Mansion."
Zhao Qinghe rolled his eyes at him, "You treat me as if I took hormones, and I will be out of the slaughterhouse in three days."
Chang Tingzhao grinned, "It's just right, I can slowly enjoy the pleasure of fattening you up. Seeing Hou Zhongyi like this, I must be enjoying it."
Zhao Qinghe squeezed Chang Tingzhao hard, making Chang Tingzhao wish he could kiss Zhao Qinghe hard now.
After walking around the capital, he led a group of people into Dingguo's mansion.
Looking at the two majestic stone lions in front of the door, Zhao Qinghe couldn't help taking a deep breath. Although it was covered in red, the Dingguo Mansion was still majestic and fierce, which made Zhao Qinghe feel that he was not about to enter the house but was preparing to Enter the battlefield.
Chang Tingzhao felt his nervousness and squeezed his hand, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Hearing this deep voice, Zhao Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and entered the Duke's Mansion together with him.
After worshiping, Zhao Qinghe was led to Chang Tingzhao's courtyard, where the red candles were burning. Unlike the bustling outside, this place was unusually quiet.
Zhao Qinghe couldn't help yawning as soon as he sat on the bed. He really got up too early today, and now he feels sleepy.Seeing no one, Zhao Qinghe lay down on the bed without hesitation, but got up again immediately under the shock.When he lifted the quilt and saw a pile of peanuts, lotus seeds, etc. on the bed, the corners of Zhao Qinghe's mouth twitched. May give birth to a child.
Zhao Qinghe unceremoniously swept these things to the ground.
"Oh, fourth grandma, this is not good, the omen is not good." A woman came in and made a big fuss.
Zhao Qinghe couldn't help but feel his forehead twitch when he heard the title of Fourth Grandma, and said: "It's okay, you're welcome, just call me Mr. Zhao."
The mother-in-law frowned slightly but said nothing, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Zhao Qinghe saw it, but just pretended not to see it, "Who are you?"
The mother-in-law couldn't help straightening her back, and the little maid beside her said, "This is Nanny Song, the nanny who brought up the fourth master since childhood."
Nanny Song is now also the steward of Chang Tingzhao's courtyard.
Zhao Qinghe nodded, "It turned out to be Nanny Song, who has worked hard all these years."
Seeing that Zhao Qinghe only said this sentence and did nothing else, Nanny Song was rather displeased.Zhao Qinghe knew what he was struggling with, and logically the first time he saw these servants should be a reward, but where did these things come from Zhao Qinghe, they were all in Liuli Liusu.And this kind of thing can't be done by oneself, otherwise the status will be lowered, but the two girls Liuli and Liusu don't know where they are.
Zhao Qinghe couldn't help asking, and Nanny Song just said, "I'm still busy in the warehouse."
It must take a while to store so much dowry. Although the two girls are not his, they are trustworthy and must be handled by them.Zhao Qinghe also knew this truth, but he knew in his heart that it was impossible for the two girls to be busy there.
"Also ask Nanny Song to send someone to call Liusu."
Nanny Song didn't care, "If Grandma Four has something to do, call the maid in the house. It's not easy to find someone at night."
Zhao Qinghe's eyes darkened, and his voice sank a lot, "I'm not used to being served by other people."
Nanny Song said lightly, "These girls have served Fourth Master for many years, and all of them are worthy of use. Fourth Master usually trusts them very much, why should Fourth Grandma make things difficult for others at night. Those two girls will come back when they are done with their work." , Why should Grandma Four send someone to look for her in a hurry at this time, don't lose her airs."
Zhao Qinghe laughed, "Nurse Song is really thoughtful."
Nanny Song didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in her words, "It's not surprising that Fourth Mistress was born in a poor family when she was young, and she is a man who acts recklessly and doesn't know the rules. The old slave has served Fourth Master for so many years, so she must have thought more deeply."
One sentence brought out Zhao Qinghe's disadvantages and Nanny Song's own advantages. If an ordinary woman or man heard such a sentence, she would be intimidated, at least not on the wedding night.But it's not that Zhao Qinghe didn't know Chang Tingzhao before, and he didn't care about troubles on the wedding night, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
"But I just want to see two girls tonight, so hurry up and look for them, if you can't see them, you are the only one to ask!"
Nanny Song's complexion changed drastically, and she looked aggrieved, "Fourth grandma is trying to make things difficult for the old slave? The old slave has served the fourth master for so many years, and the fourth master has never talked to the old slave like this. The fourth grandma can't tolerate the old slave." An old man like Nu?"
Although Mrs. Zhang was born in a peasant household, there are many rules in the countryside as long as the marriage is important to her family, not to mention she understands what a wedding means very well.Coupled with Mrs. Hou's adviser, the two spent more time planning together than with their own husband.The relationship between the two has become better because of this.

Chang Tingzhao didn't take it seriously, and agreed straightforwardly, but Madam Hou and Mrs. Zhang were quite dissatisfied and chattered in Zhao Qinghe's ears.Although I have agreed, I can't help but say something every time I see it.Although there are some men in Dayou who don't sit on the sedan chair or cover their heads, most of them still follow the etiquette of women's marriage and marry themselves as women.At the beginning when Yunxi married the Thirteenth Prince, she got on the bridal sedan chair, which caused Zhao Qinghe to ridicule him when he saw him, and made Yunxi's teeth itch when he saw him.

"It's because mother cares about you. If you don't let you go to study, you will be worried." Zhao Qinghe said with a smile.

Zhu Wushao's eyes flickered, and the little six sighed, "Fourth Master, you don't know, our master has gained about twenty catties this winter."
Zhao Qinghe didn't know even more, the Zhu family didn't care about these things, they wished they could get fatter than the other, even the little girls who loved beauty didn't care. "so what?"
"Fourth Master, you don't know something. If you eat like this, you will be like Master Hou. Then the palace test will be very bad."
Zhao Qinghe was stunned, and then remembered that if he was ugly and incomplete in the imperial examination, he would be eliminated if the emperor disliked him.Dayou also regards thinness as beauty, no matter men or women, they wish to be as thin as a piece of paper.The Zhu family didn't care about these before, but if they want to take the scientific examination, they have to control their weight.They are all fat people, and they know that losing weight is not an easy task, so they controlled Zhu Wushao's diet from the beginning, also to prevent him from gaining weight and making it difficult to lose weight in the future.
Zhao Qinghe couldn't help looking at Zhu Wushao sympathetically, "It's true that you should control your diet properly, but you can't be hungry, otherwise how can you read it?"
Zhu Wushao nodded repeatedly, "That's right, I'm so hungry that I can't even read."
Little Six's eyes widened, "Fourth Master, don't listen to our grandfather's nonsense, do you know how much our grandfather ate this morning? Two drawers of steamed buns, a large bowl of hot dry noodles, five large fried dough sticks, Twenty or so dumplings and five eggs. It’s not an hour from now, how can we be hungry. Master Hou said that our Zhu family is most likely to gain weight when they are so old, and once they gain weight, they can’t lose weight, so It has to be controlled."
Zhao Qinghe raised his forehead, is this belly a black hole!Although he has always known how much the family eats, and he has eaten several meals together, he understands it, but he never thought that he would be hungry so quickly.Zhu Wushao looked left and right to avoid Zhao Qinghe's surprised gaze.
Zhao Qinghe understood why Mrs. Hou wanted to guard Zhu Wushao, and why Zhu Wushao was so afraid of Mrs. Hou.If he continues to eat like this, he will be the same tonnage as Lord Hou in a short time.
"You really have to control your diet. You don't exercise much in the winter. Being fat is not only unattractive, but you will also suffer from many diseases if you are too fat."
Zhu Wushao's gaze shifted away from the dim sum, "But my mouth is greedy, I can't help it."
Zhao Qinghe didn't have this experience, so he was helpless, so he could only say, "Just get used to being hungry."
Zhu Wushao pouted, although he was unhappy, but he didn't insist anymore, his eyes kept staring at the snacks on the table, reminding Zhao Qinghe of those evil wolves that night.
This Zhongyi Hou is really not a fat and big-eared stupid pig, he has a purpose in everything he does.Zhao Qinghe knew very well that this was to reassure him, and repeatedly stated that Zhu Wushao had no covetous intentions for Chang Tingzhao.Zhao Qinghe would not be displeased, but just sighed that there is no innocent person in the Duke's family.
On the day of their wedding, Zhao Qinghe was dug up early in the morning, and it was still dark outside the window.
Zhao Qinghe said in a daze: "When is this? It's too early for me to wake up now."
Liuli said: "It's not too early, it's not good if the auspicious time is missed."
Zhao Qinghe had no choice but to rub his eyes and wash his hands.The hot water has been put away by the tassels, and there are still bright red petals floating in the bathtub. It is not easy to find some flowers in the winter.Zhao Qinghe has no expression on his face, he has already gotten used to it, and it's not bad to be able to soak it fragrantly.
Both Liuli and Liusu knew that Zhao Qinghe didn't like being served close to him, so they didn't force him, and just waited outside.
"You won't let me just sit and wait until dawn?" Zhao Qinghe yawned again and again, and Liuli Liusu and the other maids who served her lowered their heads in shame.A group of people have forgotten that Zhao Qinghe is not a woman, so she doesn't pay much attention to it.There is no need to open the face to make up, and the clothes and headgear are simple, so it was done in a short while after being busy.
Liu Li blushed and said: "It's the servant who was negligent, please forgive me, sir."
Zhao Qinghe waved his hand, "It's normal for you to have no experience in this kind of work, but you have to think more about things in the future, and you can't copy them mechanically."
A group of people answered repeatedly. At this time, the small kitchen had already prepared breakfast. Originally, they wanted to stuff two snacks like a woman getting married, but Zhao Qinghe immediately quit.I've been busy all day and don't know where my next meal is, and I can't live without eating so little.He ordered someone to prepare a large bowl of Xaozi noodles. At first, the mother-in-law didn't agree, saying that she had a taste in her mouth after eating, and she was afraid that the groom would be fumigated.And there is soup, I am afraid that I have to go to the toilet halfway.
Zhao Qinghe didn't care so much, getting married was a great thing, if he made himself so miserable, he didn't want to die.The others couldn't help but agree, so Zhao Qinghe ate the glutinous rice noodles contentedly, even though he wasn't hungry, he didn't even finish the soup.
Yan Huang and Yun Xi also came over early in the morning, and Yan Huang smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, "Brother Qinghe, I'm here to put on makeup for you, you're going to have a baby early."
Zhao Qinghe glared at him fiercely, "Don't force me to beat people roughly on this happy day, I don't mind marrying me with blood."
Yan Huang was not afraid of him, and took out a silver ticket from his pocket, "Don't say I don't care, I think money can represent the heart most in this world."
Zhao Qinghe's eyes lit up when he saw it, "My good brother, I don't mind getting married a few more times for the money."
"Bah, bah, bah! You can't say such things on a happy day." Xi Po spat hard on the side, and Liuli and Liusu couldn't help but purse their lips and smile at each other.
Yunxi took out a box, and at a glance, he knew that the things inside were expensive. Zhao Qinghe took it and opened it unceremoniously. His face turned green when he saw it.
"What do you mean by that!"
Yun Xi looked indifferent, "This thing is precious, there is only one in the whole world."
"What's the use of using hairpins for women!" Zhao Qinghe couldn't help shouting.
Yun Xi squinted her eyes and smiled badly, "These are thoughts, and some of them will be really useful. Keep them as family heirlooms, the gems on them are not easy to find."
Every time Zhao Qinghe saw Yunxi, he would unceremoniously ridicule the matter of him taking the lead in covering the sedan chair. Yunxi had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Zhao Qinghe choked, and wanted to say something but Xi Po was staring at him closely. On this happy day, he couldn't speak casually, so he could only accept it aggrievedly. Knowing unreliable friends is really a crime!
Chang Tingzhao rode a tall horse and led a group of people to welcome the bride in high spirits. If he didn't know it, he would think it was a robbery.Those who originally planned to make things difficult, saw his posture and gave way one after another.The eldest son who was ready to carry Zhao Qinghe out of the house had no chance to show it at all, so Chang Tingzhao took Zhao Qinghe in his arms and rode the same horse.In the wind and snow, the two of them were very red and gorgeous, completely ignoring other people's eyes.
Zhao Qinghe originally thought it was stupid to wear a big flower on his chest, but when he saw Chang Tingzhao still looking chic with the big red flower, he immediately felt relieved.
Almost everyone in Beijing knew about their marriage. After all, two men getting married with great fanfare is not an ordinary thing, and one of them is Chang Tingzhao, who is now in the limelight, and more people are watching the show.
Originally thought that Zhao Qinghe was just a little veterinarian, even though he recognized Zhongyihou as his adopted son, it was nothing more than mediocrity, but he didn't expect that the dowry would be 120, which can be called red makeup.
Even Zhao Qinghe wondered how he could have so many dowries, and they were all expensive things.After asking, I found out that Chang Tingzhao’s betrothal gifts accounted for more than half, and the emperor and concubine Yan rewarded them, and the bombs and Malatang restaurants shared some of the profits, as well as some from the old man Zhao and his wife. Yes, it adds up to something spectacular.
"Is it cold?" Chang Tingzhao asked by Zhao Qinghe's ear.
Zhao Qinghe shook his head, "I know that riding a horse deliberately wears a lot."
The corners of Chang Tingzhao's mouth twitched slightly, "I thought you'd gained weight in the past few days after you lived in the Zhongyihou's Mansion."
Zhao Qinghe rolled his eyes at him, "You treat me as if I took hormones, and I will be out of the slaughterhouse in three days."
Chang Tingzhao grinned, "It's just right, I can slowly enjoy the pleasure of fattening you up. Seeing Hou Zhongyi like this, I must be enjoying it."
Zhao Qinghe squeezed Chang Tingzhao hard, making Chang Tingzhao wish he could kiss Zhao Qinghe hard now.
After walking around the capital, he led a group of people into Dingguo's mansion.
Looking at the two majestic stone lions in front of the door, Zhao Qinghe couldn't help taking a deep breath. Although it was covered in red, the Dingguo Mansion was still majestic and fierce, which made Zhao Qinghe feel that he was not about to enter the house but was preparing to Enter the battlefield.
Chang Tingzhao felt his nervousness and squeezed his hand, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Hearing this deep voice, Zhao Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and entered the Duke's Mansion together with him.
After worshiping, Zhao Qinghe was led to Chang Tingzhao's courtyard, where the red candles were burning. Unlike the bustling outside, this place was unusually quiet.
Zhao Qinghe couldn't help yawning as soon as he sat on the bed. He really got up too early today, and now he feels sleepy.Seeing no one, Zhao Qinghe lay down on the bed without hesitation, but got up again immediately under the shock.When he lifted the quilt and saw a pile of peanuts, lotus seeds, etc. on the bed, the corners of Zhao Qinghe's mouth twitched. May give birth to a child.
Zhao Qinghe unceremoniously swept these things to the ground.
"Oh, fourth grandma, this is not good, the omen is not good." A woman came in and made a big fuss.
Zhao Qinghe couldn't help but feel his forehead twitch when he heard the title of Fourth Grandma, and said: "It's okay, you're welcome, just call me Mr. Zhao."
The mother-in-law frowned slightly but said nothing, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Zhao Qinghe saw it, but just pretended not to see it, "Who are you?"
The mother-in-law couldn't help straightening her back, and the little maid beside her said, "This is Nanny Song, the nanny who brought up the fourth master since childhood."
Nanny Song is now also the steward of Chang Tingzhao's courtyard.
Zhao Qinghe nodded, "It turned out to be Nanny Song, who has worked hard all these years."
Seeing that Zhao Qinghe only said this sentence and did nothing else, Nanny Song was rather displeased.Zhao Qinghe knew what he was struggling with, and logically the first time he saw these servants should be a reward, but where did these things come from Zhao Qinghe, they were all in Liuli Liusu.And this kind of thing can't be done by oneself, otherwise the status will be lowered, but the two girls Liuli and Liusu don't know where they are.
Zhao Qinghe couldn't help asking, and Nanny Song just said, "I'm still busy in the warehouse."
It must take a while to store so much dowry. Although the two girls are not his, they are trustworthy and must be handled by them.Zhao Qinghe also knew this truth, but he knew in his heart that it was impossible for the two girls to be busy there.
"Also ask Nanny Song to send someone to call Liusu."
Nanny Song didn't care, "If Grandma Four has something to do, call the maid in the house. It's not easy to find someone at night."
Zhao Qinghe's eyes darkened, and his voice sank a lot, "I'm not used to being served by other people."
Nanny Song said lightly, "These girls have served Fourth Master for many years, and all of them are worthy of use. Fourth Master usually trusts them very much, why should Fourth Grandma make things difficult for others at night. Those two girls will come back when they are done with their work." , Why should Grandma Four send someone to look for her in a hurry at this time, don't lose her airs."
Zhao Qinghe laughed, "Nurse Song is really thoughtful."
Nanny Song didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in her words, "It's not surprising that Fourth Mistress was born in a poor family when she was young, and she is a man who acts recklessly and doesn't know the rules. The old slave has served Fourth Master for so many years, so she must have thought more deeply."
One sentence brought out Zhao Qinghe's disadvantages and Nanny Song's own advantages. If an ordinary woman or man heard such a sentence, she would be intimidated, at least not on the wedding night.But it's not that Zhao Qinghe didn't know Chang Tingzhao before, and he didn't care about troubles on the wedding night, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
"But I just want to see two girls tonight, so hurry up and look for them, if you can't see them, you are the only one to ask!"
Nanny Song's complexion changed drastically, and she looked aggrieved, "Fourth grandma is trying to make things difficult for the old slave? The old slave has served the fourth master for so many years, and the fourth master has never talked to the old slave like this. The fourth grandma can't tolerate the old slave." An old man like Nu?"
