Difficult for a son-in-law

The second marriage of Prince Zhennan's son was also quite pompous.

Ming Zhan started to pay customers three days ago, and tomorrow is the day, Ming Zhan was tired all day, just had dinner and lay on the couch to enjoy the cool.The breeze and the bright moon are waiting for you to play the fan. Summer is approaching, and Ming Zhan has always been afraid of the heat, so he wears a big trousers all over his body.

Feng Jingnan has a quirk, and he never allows others to report when he enters Ming Zhan's courtyard. Behind him is a half-old eunuch Li San, who secretly conducts a surprise attack.Entering the room and seeing Ming Zhan's disheveled clothes, he inevitably shook his head and said a few words.

Ming Zhan got up quickly, "Father, the king never tells people to report, I will marry a daughter-in-law tomorrow, it will be bad for you to do this again."

Feng Jingnan glared at Ming Zhan, magnanimously said, "I don't care about you on the day of great joy."

Under the service of Mingyue, Ming Zhan put on a thin silk robe, and Ming Zhan accepted it with a smile, "For my marriage, my father has been busy for days, if someone calls me for something, I will just go over."

"It's okay, I brought you some clothes." Feng Jingnan signaled, Li San hurriedly brought the tray to Ming Zhan, Ming Zhan was puzzled, "Didn't the dresses already be delivered?"

"This is a soft armor. You have to go to Ruan's house to greet the bride in person tomorrow. Wear it inside. Be careful." Feng Jingnan pointed and introduced, "Invulnerable to swords and guns, invulnerable to water and fire, rare treasures, I only have these three pieces gone."

Ming Zhan picked up one, touched it, it was so soft, and he couldn't tell what it was made of if he looked closely, Ming Zhan suddenly put it in his mouth, biting and pulling, Feng Jingnan snatched it away, "Is it dirty or not?"

Ming Zhan grinned, "It's so strong. My gown has six layers inside and out, plus three sets of soft armor. I don't need assassins. I have to get dizzy first."

"The dress is the one on the outside, who knows if you wear it inside or not?" Feng Jingnan said, "I'm not stupid on weekdays, but now I can't turn it upside down. Don't forget to wear soft armor, it's life-saving. "

Ming Zhan nodded obediently, "Well, I'm also very afraid of death."

Feng Jingnan was frustrated for no reason, "You don't need to say this." Could it be that "fear of death" is a very honorable thing?You shameless brat, what are you yelling about?

Ming Zhan laughed twice, and translated elegantly, "A son of a thousand gold can't sit still. My son understands this truth."

This is still a human saying, Feng Jingnan nodded joyfully, "That's good, very good." Then he told Ming Zhan a few words, and Fang lifted his feet to leave, and Ming Zhan sent him to the door.

The Zhennan Prince's Mansion has a distinguished status, and several families who have good relations with the Zhennan Prince's Mansion have come to support it early in the morning.

Among the female relatives, Ming Zhan's mother-in-law, Princess Jingmin, has arrived. Princess Jingmin has a good relationship with Princess Wei. Her own daughter is not blessed, but her daughter has entered the ancestral grave of Zhennan Prince's Mansion. This is a serious in-law.

Princess Jingmin, Princess Taiyang, and even Princess Fuchang, who was humiliated by the Zhennan Palace, also showed their faces. In addition, there were the eldest princess and the second princess who married in the imperial capital, and the other concubines Fu, the second prince, The third concubine, the fourth concubine, the rest of the Duke's wife, Mrs. Hou Ye, and the general's wife were all seated in the hall, and there were many relatives who were ordered to sit, so they had to move to the side hall, and Mingyi's daughter-in-law, Minglian's daughter-in-law, entertained them .

These noble ladies only talked about one topic, praising Ming Zhan's promise in different ways, and how the Ruan family girl is knowledgeable and courteous, and her family background is noble.

On the contrary, Ming Zhan, the hostess and the bridegroom, was busy from morning to night these days, and didn't get enough sleep. He was a little angry when he got up, his face was dark, his mouth was pouting, and he didn't like to talk to people.

Fan Wei persuaded, "My lord has sent someone to call me twice, how many times can I get married in this life? My son, let's endure today, how do you want to rest tomorrow, how can you not sleep?"

Feng Zhi agreed, and Ming Zhan said angrily, "I don't feel back pain when I stand and talk, you know how tired I am." Qingfeng put a wet veil on Ming Zhan's face, and Ming Zhan almost cried out, dripping coldly.

Qi Jing laughed straight, "The day of your son's great joy is only in the imperial capital. If you go back to Yunnan, you may have to set up wine again. Otherwise, with so many ministers, wouldn't it be impossible for your son to drink the wedding wine?"

Ming Zhan's eyes went dark, and he lay down directly. Mingyue grabbed Ming Zhan's arm and complained, "Stop scaring the prince."

"Breakfast is on the table. The prince hastened to eat a few bites. Many relatives and friends came outside. You have to show up."

Everyone waited for Ming Zhan to have breakfast, then surrounded Ming Zhan and went to the main hall. Feng Jingnan was talking with Prince Fu, and several princes also arrived quite early.Ming Zhan saluted with a smile, "Greetings to father and uncle. I have met the second, third and fourth brothers." Calling "father-in-law", Wei Guogong felt sore for a while, even that unlucky short-lived daughter.

"Why did you come here now? I asked the elders to wait for you." Feng Jingnan asked with a smile, there was no displeasure on his face.

Prince Fu smiled and said, "It's inevitable that you will suffer from insomnia before your wedding, young man. I didn't sleep all night before my wedding, and I had dark circles under my eyes the next day. Didn't you laugh at Fifth Brother back then?"

Feng Jingnan smiled, "Fifth Brother still remembers."

"When I saw Ming Zhan, I remembered it." Prince Fu rounded Ming Zhan up.

Ming Zhan bent his lips, thanked Prince Fu, and said to Feng Jingnan, "Son, go out and salute the elders." There are still a group of people in the side hall.

Feng Jingnan nodded, "Very well, let's go."

Ming Zhan saluted again and retreated politely.

Sitting outside is the son of Prince Fu, Marquis of Yongning, Marquis of Chengen and others. They are all relatives. Wei Ning and Wei An are all here. Luckily, Wei Ning is a first-class marquis, but Wei An is only a fifth-rank official. It is a kindness to allow him to give a gift, but his background is strong enough, and he is a real relative with Feng Jingnan, so he snatched a seat in the side hall, and when he saw Ming Zhan, he kept boasting, "This dress is so beautiful, You were born fair and clean, and you look good in red, which makes people festive."

Ming Zhan smiled smugly, "I also feel heroic, Mr. Wei, what do you think?"

Wei Ning smiled, "It is indeed heroic and tall and straight." Ming Zhan was a fat man when he was a child, but when he grew up, he was a stickler, and those weak flesh faded away, but he was well-proportioned and handsome.

Ming Zhan glanced at Yongning Hou, smiled and called, "Uncle."

Marquis Yongning's eyes moved away from Wei An's body, Wei Ning's face was already covered with black, and Marquis Yongning's face was naturally thick, without a trace of embarrassment, he said in a gentle voice, "The son is very happy. Father wanted to marry him because he was old. I've been lethargic recently, so I couldn't go there in person."

"Grandfather takes good care of himself. After we get married, I will go to pay his respects to the old man with the concubine." Ming Zhan smiled.

Yongning Hou expressed his gratitude on behalf of his father.

Ming Zhan pulled Marquis Yongning to a secluded place, "When are you going to ask Ziyao out? You can look at him however you want, from the inside to the outside, but in front of Aning, you want to point him out. eyes."

Yongninghou said, "I think Mr. Wei's management is wider than that of Mr. Wei before."

At this time, most people get married in the evening, and the bride's dowry is carried to the husband's house first. The royal family's wedding ceremony has its own regulations, which are more solemn than playful.

Ming Zhan's wedding was extremely grand, with hundreds of seats inside and outside, Ming Zhan, the bridegroom, paid respects to each of them. Although most of the drinks in his mouth were wine mixed with water, his head was still dizzy.It was Wei Ning who was careful, and called someone to fetch two bowls of hangover soup and handed them to Ming Zhan to drink.

Ming Zhan frowned sourly, Wei Ning smiled slightly, "Today is your son's big day, if you are drunk now, is it a crime to delay the bridal chamber?"

Ming Zhan handed the bowl back to Wei Ning. The wedding gown was complicated, with wide robes and wide sleeves. Ming Zhan secretly twisted Wei Ning's palm. Wei Ning took the white jade cup and put it aside as if he didn't notice.

Feng Jingnan said, "Go, don't delay the time."

The guard of honor to welcome the bride is mighty, Ming Zhan is riding in the middle of the team, and there are guards in front, back, left, and right. Feng Jingnan has always had lingering fears about the matter of the Xiaojun Lord. He is not worried about the death of his daughter-in-law, and he just wants to marry his son.If Ming Zhan made a mistake, it would be an unbearable loss for Zhennan Palace.

Therefore, Feng Jingnan arranged extremely comprehensive protection for Ming Zhan.

Ming Zhan listened to some out-of-tune music, and couldn't help asking Fan Wei beside him, "A newcomer sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the tune is not quite right."

Fan Wei said softly, "The musicians in the Ministry of Internal Affairs don't know martial arts, and they have arranged too many personal guards and they are a bit eye-catching. The prince simply didn't use the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is the son's personal guards. How could they know how to play? They have been learning for half a month now. , not very proficient."

No wonder it's so rough.Ming Zhan hooked the corners of his lips, remembering the three layers of soft armor on his body, and said with a smile, "It's almost a turtle shell on my head."

Ming Zhan just said casually, who knows that the crow's mouth, good and bad spirits, the Ruan family and his party made Ming Zhan lose face.This matter was even recorded in the annals of history and passed down for thousands of years.

The Ruan family is also an aristocratic family, although it is not as close to the imperial city as Zhennan Wangfu, it is not far from the imperial city.In other words, Ruan is quite close to Zhennan Palace.

There was a band of ceremonies in front of them, and the Ruan family had already received the letter, knowing that the uncle was coming soon, so they hurried in to report.

The Ruan family is also very lively today. The people who go to the Zhennan Palace to congratulate are all royal family members, while the Ruan family are mostly important officials in the court. Lord Ruan was born in the Imperial Academy, and now he is in the position of high official. All of you are here.Of course, no matter how prosperous the Ruan family was, it was still the prince's surrogate family. The members of the cabinet just showed up a little, prepared a gift, and showed their friendship as colleagues. They said hello and left.More people stayed behind, chatting lively.

Honorable Ming Zhan, everyone should salute him, step forward to support father-in-law, and said humbly, "Father-in-law doesn't need to be too polite, all adults are welcome too. Today is my day of great joy, too restrained will make me less happy."

With Ming Zhan's style, he naturally dared not to play tricks on his son-in-law.

The Ruan family led him to visit his mother-in-law, Mrs. Ruan. The couple were extremely nervous and relieved. As long as today is over, they can cook rice with raw rice, so there is no need to worry.

Ming Zhan is quite good at speaking politely, "Your elders look a bit haggard, but are you tired of our wedding?"

God pity, we were scared. We didn't sleep well yesterday.Mrs. Ruan's practice is still young, and she didn't know what to say for a while. It was Ruan Houye who had experienced years of experience, and his face remained unchanged, with a loving face, "The third girl is the youngest daughter, so it is inevitable to miss her a lot. She is favored at home. I'm used to it, if there is anything I can't do in the future, I have to ask the prince to forgive me."

Ming Zhan smiled, "I heard from my sisters that the third girl is virtuous and beautiful, which is very rare. Don't worry, I am not a difficult person to get along with."

Master Ruan gradually gained some confidence, his smile became warmer, and he said to Mrs. Ruan, "The auspicious time is coming, you go and see that the third girl is ready."

Ming Zhan and Ruan Houye had a few heartfelt words. The auspicious time was approaching, and Ruan Tanhua personally carried his sister out of the boudoir and sent her to the limousine all the way.

When Fang walked halfway, a young man in blue suddenly jumped out from the crowd at the side. Ruan Tanhua hugged his sister's arm tightly, stepped back two steps, and shouted, "Catch the assassin!" His eyes were sharp, and murderous intent flashed by!Very well, he thought that this person would not dare to show up in the Ruan family, but just to be safe, the Ruan family also made every possible preparation.

However, before the Ruan family could move in the future, the people around Ming Zhan moved first, and a middle-aged man dressed as an ordinary bodyguard hit him like lightning. Ming Zhan could hardly see the movement of the bodyguard. The young man in blue had already been arrested. Kneeling on the ground, his arms were limp, and even his jaw was removed.

It was just that the man was begging, and Ming Zhan saw that his clothes were not bad, so he said, "Let him talk, don't misunderstand."

The guard first poked his finger into the young man's mouth and made a fuss about it. He felt that there was nothing dangerous, so he connected his chin. Ming Zhan frowned, "What are you doing so recklessly?"

Ruan Tanhua's heart tightened, this person has fallen into Ming Zhan's hands, he must have come prepared, he frowned slightly, and echoed, "Yes, Shizi is so unsteady in front of you, it's not surprising .”

The man smiled coldly, and did not buy Ruan Tanhua's account. He looked up at Ming Zhan, and said loudly, "Li Lin, the youngest son of Zhu Heng, the former Duke of the town, has just been pardoned from Lingnan and returned to the imperial capital. It is not a crime to offend the prince today." Don't worry, I just want to say to the son, the son had the virtue of marrying the monarch of the county, but now he is being deceived, but he wants to get a bad name of taking a wife and family in a muddle?"

Ruan Tanhua was furious, "What nonsense are you talking about! My sister got a long live marriage, what does it have to do with you? Why do you want to ruin my sister's reputation?" He looked like a brother who unknowingly avenged his sister's injustice.

Li Lin was not afraid. A ruthlessness appeared in the corners of his eyes and brows, and he asked angrily, "How old are you, and what do you know? Why don't you ask Master Ruan to confront him and ask him if it was 15 years ago? Ever betrothed the third daughter of your family to me? Back then my family was convicted, and I survived because I was young, but I was sent far away to Lingnan. Now I have been amnesty and returned to the imperial capital. I want to marry a beautiful wife. I just learned about Marquis Ruan I have already sent my daughter to the palace. I have heard that the Ruan family is a big and polite family, how could such a scandal of one daughter marry twice? Even if your family thinks I am poor, you should have written a divorce letter with me..."

Ruan Chensi's body trembled uncontrollably, Ruan Tanhua hugged her sister tightly, and people around whispered.Ming Zhan said calmly, "Do you have evidence?"

Li Lin smiled sarcastically, "I have the autographed letter written by Marquis Ruan to my father in my bosom, as well as the Geng Tie from the third girl of the Ruan family. All other keepsakes were lost when the house was raided."

A guard searched for the letter and found it, but Ming Zhan didn't take it, and ordered, "Master Ruan please come and confront him."

In a few words, the address changed from "father-in-law" to "Mr. Ruan". Ruan Tanhua was anxious, hot and tired, sweating all over his face, and Ruan Chensi was already sobbing softly.Ming Zhan took a look, "Bring me a chair."

Poor Ruan Tanhua couldn't put her younger sister on the ground, so she had to hold her and sit in a chair to rest. They were all winking people, so they moved a little extra and invited Ming Zhan to sit.

Lord Ruan Hou had heard the news and hurried over.

Ming Zhan thought that the Ruan family would argue a few words, but in fact Marquis Ruan was not that stupid.He first took the letters and Geng posts, read them carefully, although his face was pale and haggard, he still begged Ming Zhan to let Li Lin go, helped Li Lin up and sighed, "Your family went to Lingnan back then, and there was no news for more than ten years. I thought... since the nephew is back, why didn't he give the old man a letter earlier?"

Li Lin sneered, "I want to come in to pay respects to Uncle Shi, but the prime minister is the seventh-rank official in front of the door. My nephew has no background, so naturally I won't be able to see Uncle Shi."

Marquis Ruan showed strong acting skills, shed a few crocodile tears with emotion, and took Li Lin's hand and said, "Fortunately, my nephew is back. I'm all to blame for this. I just feel sorry for my daughter. I haven't heard from my nephew for a long time, and I can't bear my daughter's delay in Huaxin. The third girl is favored by the eldest son, and she is bestowed with marriage by Long Live, and now she is going to marry the eldest son as his wife."

Marquis Ruan's appearance is not bad, with a dignified Chinese character face and a three-inch beard. At this moment, his eyes are slightly red, his face is full of shame, and he kneels down in front of Li Lin. My nephew, I have lost my faith, and now I am apologizing to my nephew."

Li Lin sideways avoided, not accepting the gift from Marquis Ruan, and did not go to help Marquis Ruan get up, and said coldly, "It seems that Marquis Hou is going to retire."

"Father, father, the emperor is both a king and a father. Now, long live the marriage, not to mention the old minister, even the son has no reason not to obey." Ruan Hou burst into tears, which is really unbearable, "I am ashamed of my nephew. First, I have no face to ask my nephew for forgiveness. If my nephew thinks that my Ruan family dislikes the poor and loves the rich, I will look down on the Ruan family's family tradition. Now that Long Live has given a marriage, the nephew and the third girl have nothing to do with each other. My nephew is willing, and I am willing to marry my eldest granddaughter to my nephew to continue the good relationship between the two families."

As soon as this remark came out, even Ming Zhan had to praise Ruan Houpi for being thick and ruthless, and immediately made a decision.

Even Marquis Ruan successfully reversed some of his officials' views on him, yes, if he dislikes the poor and loves the rich, how could he have the heart to marry his granddaughter?Some people felt that Ruan Hou was well-mannered, worthy of being a heir to a family of poems and books, and praised him in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, Li Lin was not a vegetarian to make trouble at the Ruan family, so he turned to Ming Zhan and asked, "Is the son willing to do the evil deed of seizing a wife?"

"Master Li doesn't want to retire?" Ming Zhan's voice was cold.

"If the prince foresaw that the third girl had a marriage contract, would he marry this marriage?"

"Of course not." Ming Zhan was tired of the Ruan family in every way, but he didn't like Li Lin either, so he asked, "I didn't know about your engagement with the third girl before, since you came, there must be something It was planned, why not open the skylight and speak clearly?"

"I heard that the son is an upright man, and the grass-roots people just came here to seek justice..."

"Your justice is not from me!" Ming Zhan was furious, interrupted Li Lin, and asked sternly, "Your marriage with the Ruan family is a matter between your two families! Did you just come back from Lingnan? Don't talk nonsense to me! Since you can't afford the door of the Ruan family, how could you appear here today! Don't say it sooner, don't say it later, if you insist on making a fuss when your son is married, what do you think you are! In my opinion, you are not related to the Ruan family, but you have enmity with the Ruan family!"

Marquis Ruan got up from the ground at some point. Hearing Ming Zhan's words, he felt that there was a lot to be done, so he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, calm down."

It's a pity that Marquis Ruan didn't know Ming Zhan very well after all. Ming Zhan sneered and turned his finger on the Ruan family, "If you want others to know, you have to do nothing about it. Even if the Li family is dead, the Marquis should also be married if he had a marriage contract before." Tell me about it!"

Get up and leave.

Everyone wants to use him as a gunman, it's not so cheap!
