The last time Shen Jia rode a horse through the streets and was the champion, she never expected to enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention again on the day of her marriage. I don't know how the common people knew the news of his marriage today. It was already full of people watching the excitement.

"Has it come out? Is this the right way?" Some people asked anxiously.

"It's not in time yet. There are more people gathered in the Shen residence, and news will definitely come out."

"Haha, it's a pity not to take a look at such a handsome groom."

With the sound of firecrackers, the people suddenly became excited, and then they heard someone shouting: "The groom is out..."

Shen Jia rode a tall horse, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, with a big red flower on her chest, and led the welcoming team of dozens of people to the location of Liu's house, but there were too many people watching along the way, and many people squeezed onto the road In the middle, the team couldn't move an inch.

The guards and servants of Shen's residence rushed to maintain order, but the crowd was too small to call out the gathered people. In the end, the Jinwu Guards rushed over after hearing the sound and cleared a path for Shen Jia.

After finally reaching the county lord's mansion, Shen Jia was already frightened, she had a lot of things like purses and handkerchiefs on her body, and even her hat was hit by a silk flower, making her look even more elegant and beautiful.

When he welcomed Liu Yanwan out, the people who followed shouted: "I saw the bride. Although she covered her head and covered her face, she looked like a fair lady!"

"Nonsense, can the former No. [-] beauty not look good?"

"Master Shen is truly blessed!"

The women hiding in the high-rise onlookers felt that the truly blessed one should be Liu Yanwan. Master Shen is good-looking, good-natured, and has a bright future. Who wouldn't want to have such a wishful man?

Xu Jiao teared her handkerchief secretly, thinking that when she saw Shen Jia's high school champion last year, she thought she could marry him, but she didn't expect him to turn around and marry Liu Yanwan, and she was about to marry, but compared with Shen Jia, she wanted to marry But it is a rude martial artist, it is really sad to think about it.

Many unmarried women shed tears when they saw this. Shen Jia didn't know anything about it. She was supposed to take the bride around the city before returning home, but the road was difficult, and they had already delayed a lot of time, so they had to Backtrack.

"Hurry up, set up the firecrackers, the bride is here..." Outside the Shen residence, the guests waited eagerly, everyone was beaming, and the people who came to watch also got a handful of wedding candies.

At the court meeting, many officials were also thinking about going to Shen's mansion for a wedding wine. The social circle among fifth-rank doctors is not small, and Shen Jia is also a celebrity in front of the emperor. Even Xu Shoufu arranged for his daughter-in-law to go to Shen's mansion to ask for a wedding wine drink.

Zhao Zhang obviously spent more time distracted, he asked lightly: "Today is Shen Aiqing's big day, I can't come in person, Du Fucheng..."

"The slave is here."

"You send a congratulatory gift for me, and I wish the new couple a happy marriage for a hundred years." When Zhao Zhang said the last four words, his expression was cold. Du Fucheng did not dare to look up, and knelt in response, thinking in his heart: The emperor has wronged himself so much, it can be seen that Shen The weight of adults in his mind.

If it were just an ordinary bed partner, the emperor wouldn't care if Mr. Shen married a wife, or he could break Mr. Shen's marriage with just one sentence.

"Slave complies with the order." Du Fucheng hastily left the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and went to Shen's mansion to give gifts. The ministers in the court bowed their heads, thinking that the emperor deliberately brought such a trivial matter to the court meeting because of their noise.

"Let's go back to court. Everyone should know what to do. There are two most important things now. One is the autumn harvest, and the other is taxes. As long as these two things are done properly, you can argue with peace of mind." The emperor walked away with a flick of his sleeves, and the ministers knelt to see him off, heaving a sigh of relief, and secretly said: It seems that the emperor is in a bad mood today.

Shen Jia worshiped the bride according to the etiquette, and sent the bride to the new house. The new house is located in the east courtyard of Sanjin. This courtyard is also the largest in the Shen residence, and it is extremely private. In the future, all the people who will live here will be people brought by Liu Yanwan. , the Shen family will not interfere too much.

Xi Niang stuffed a steelyard into Shen Jia's hands, and said with a smile: "It's time for the bridegroom to lift his hijab. The first pick is good, the second pick is handsome and dignified, and the third pick is a hibiscus that will make a pair!  … …" The hijab was lifted, revealing Liu Yanwan's beautiful and gorgeous face, in her twenties, which is the most dazzling age for a woman, her facial features are exquisite, her eyes are moving, and everyone is speechless in amazement.

Xi Niang hurriedly congratulated and said: "Mr. Shen is so lucky. The bride is really the most beautiful bride in the past and present. Standing with Mr. Shen, she is truly a man of talent and beauty, and an unparalleled person in the world!"

Shen Jia smiled slightly at Liu Yanwan, the smile was comforting, but also a little embarrassed, the two looked at each other, everything was in silence.

Afterwards, Shen Jia refused to drink Heying wine, and Liu Yanwan also said that she could not drink, so she asked the servant girl to bring clear tea, and toasted Shen Jia with tea instead of wine.

Although it violated the rules, Xi Niang didn't say anything. The bride and groom have their own ideas, so why should she be a bad person.

After all the procedures were over, Shen Jia went out to entertain the guests, Liu Yanwan stayed in the new house, and the crowd who watched also left with a whimper.

"Huh... finally safe and sound." Liu Yanwan got up and took off the ceremony crown, and asked the maid to prepare water for her to bathe and change clothes, and sat in the room relaxedly looking at the place where she would live in the future.

Shen's residence obviously put a lot of thought into it, the house was newly painted, the furniture and furnishings were all new, and it was completely arranged according to the woman's preferences, and I don't know whose idea it was.

She ordered the servant girl to clean up the bed, and she ate some food from the kitchen before going to bed. After three o'clock, after working all day, she could finally rest.

The servant girl looked at her anxiously and asked, "Master, are you really not waiting for Master Shen to come? "About this marriage, Liu Yanwan only told her personal servant girl, after all, daily life is inseparable from them, even if I don't talk about it today, they will be able to see the clue in a few days.

Liu Yanwan yawned, and said flatly: "Master Shen won't be here anymore, I said, we will live our own lives in the future, don't talk about it outside."

"But……"

"No but, that's fine."

Shen Jia drank a lot of wine in the front, and was finally carried back to the room, but it was his own yard and not a new house.

"On the wedding night, I thought Mr. Shen wouldn't come back." A dark voice came to Shen Jia's ears, he suddenly opened his eyes, smiled, and rushed towards the man, "Yes, today is Ben's It's the official's big day, change your clothes quickly, I'm going to pay homage!"

Zhao Zhang subconsciously stretched out his arms to hug Shen Jia, with a blank expression, as if he didn't realize what Shen Jia said.

Shen Jia pushed him into the inner room, and took out a set of men's wedding clothes from the closet for him, "Hurry up and put on, don't miss the auspicious time."

"Are you... not drunk?" Zhao Zhang no longer knew what he wanted to ask.

"Except for the first few glasses of wine, I have people replace them with water later on. If you want to drink, I will accompany you to drink later."

"This is..." Zhao Zhang asked while holding a bright red wedding dress.

Shen Jia turned around in front of him, "It's the same as what I'm wearing. At first, the wedding dress I asked Xiu Niang to make was made according to your size. Try it out, it may not be accurate just by hand measurement."

Zhao Zhang put on his clothes dazedly, his face was even redder than his wedding clothes, and he kept his head down and said nothing, like a marionette.

Shen Jia saw that he failed to button up the button for a long time, walked over and saw that Zhao Zhang's hands were shaking so badly, he couldn't laugh suddenly, and stretched out his hand to button up the button for him.

After the belt was tied on, Shen Jia raised her head and praised: "What a gentleman like Yu Yu, from now on this gentleman will be mine!"

Zhao Zhang looked at the identical wedding clothes on both of them, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "In terms of appearance, there is no other person as outstanding as Master Shen. Wei opened the way for you, and when you go to court tomorrow, there must be someone who will impeach you."

"Don't worry about them, this is my doctor's personal charm, they won't envy you." Shen Jia held Zhao Zhang's hand and walked out. An incense table was prepared in the yard at some time, with a pair of dragon and phoenix candles on it. For the futon, Shen Jia knelt on it first.

Zhao Zhang was upset, his palms were sweating, and when he knelt down, he had the urge to look up to the sky and scream.

Nanny Xu walked over wearing new clothes to act as the master of ceremonies, just as she was about to speak, she saw Shen Jia standing up.

"Wait for me for a while." Shen Jia lifted her clothes and ran out of the yard, leaving Zhao Zhang kneeling alone, looking a little lonely from the back.

"Your Majesty..." Madam Xu looked at him distressedly. She had no right to object to this matter, but she was deeply afraid that the Emperor would regret it in the future.

The matter of relationship is the most unpredictable, the two of them are in love today, who knows what will happen in the future?

"Your Majesty, have you thought it through?"

Zhao Zhang laughed softly, "It couldn't be clearer. I didn't expect Shen Jia to think of this step. In terms of losses, he has lost more than me."

Shen Jia didn't go there for too long, and soon came running with a person.

After entering, he ordered someone to bring a chair for Shen's mother to sit on.

Seeing the situation in the yard, Shen's mother didn't understand his intentions, and suddenly panicked, "Jiajia, you... are you crazy?"

Shen Jia knelt down again, smiled at Zhao Zhang, comforted Shen's mother and said, "Mother, you can be a high school again!"

"A worship of heaven and earth..."

Seeing the two people turned to face her, Shen's mother hurriedly got up, how dare she, how could she have the right to make the emperor kneel down to her, it would cost her life.

Zhao Zhang said: "Mother, please take a seat, you are worthy of Zhao Zhang's worship."

"Second worship high hall..."

Shen's mother watched the two young men kneeling in front of her, and couldn't help shedding tears. When they got up, she reached out and grabbed Zhao Zhang's hand, and said: "Good boy, you will live well in the future. The road is full of difficulties and obstacles, but as long as you are united, there will be no obstacles you cannot overcome."

"Follow your mother's teachings."

"Husband and wife say hello!"

After the ceremony was completed, Shen's mother walked back in a daze. Mrs. Shen was too happy to drink too much today and had already fallen asleep. She couldn't sleep at all, thinking of her daughter-in-law who was alone in the vacant room, she turned and went to the east courtyard.

Liu Yanwan's maid saw that it was not Mrs. Shen but the old lady who came to the east courtyard, she paused, and turned to wake her own lady up.

"Who do you think is here?" Liu Yanwan opened her eyes and asked.

"It's the old lady."

"Help me get dressed quickly." Liu Yanwan got off the bed, just put on her coat, Shen's mother had already entered, and said softly: "Excuse me, don't be so busy, I'll just say a few words."

Seeing her embarrassing expression, Liu Yanwan guessed that she must have known the truth about this marriage. She didn't expect that Shen Jia would tell her such a thing, and what was even more unexpected was that Mrs. Shen would agree to it. Mistress, I'm afraid it's too early to avoid it.

"You sit down." Liu Yanwan asked Mrs. Shen to sit down, and she casually tied her belt and sat opposite her. There are many maids and women serving, and there is also a small kitchen.

Shen's mother looked at the maids standing aside, Liu Yanwan understood and told them to back down, and then asked: "What does the old lady know?"

Shen's mother sighed, and looked at this hard-won daughter-in-law. She was so beautiful and had a good temperament. If any other man married such a beautiful woman, he would be so happy.

Tonight is the most important day in a woman's life, but Liu Yanwan did not wait for Shen Jia, obviously knowing that Shen Jia would not come, and seeing her calm expression, neither resentment nor hatred, she was able to receive her with a smile, really A look that can be seen and opened up.

She held Liu Yanwan's hand, blushing and said: "I have wronged you, you should call me mother in the future, in the eyes of outsiders, you are the daughter-in-law of my Shen family, but in my eyes, I will treat you as a girl, if you don't Disgusting words."

Liu Yanwan stood over and said coquettishly, "That's really great. I was worried that you wouldn't like me. How can being a daughter-in-law be better than being a daughter? The happiest time for a woman is when she is in her mother's house. That's all right, now that I'm in Shen's residence, if you treat me like your own daughter, I will definitely live a happy life in this life."

Shen's mother laughed and joked, "That's all you pursue?"

"I am very content with the life I have today. The Liu family has experienced ups and downs. I thought I would die in the palace. I never thought I would have the opportunity to see the sun again. I have nothing to be dissatisfied with when I meet a good mother like you again."

"What a good boy, today I will say something from the bottom of my heart, you can rest assured that you will live in Shen's house. If you have someone you like in the future, I will let you and Jiajia reconcile. You can leave at ease, and don't pay too much attention to the rumors outside. , the most important thing is to live well.”

Liu Yanwan thanked her sincerely. With such an open-minded mother-in-law, she would probably not be willing to leave Shen's residence. When the old lady passed away, she could move to Zhuangzi and grow flowers and birds. I know how comfortable it is.

The two chatted very happily, and Shen's mother regained the feeling when they got along with each other before. Her daughters are all married, and it is a blessing to have one more daughter now.

"Then go to bed early, and you don't have to get up too early tomorrow. Our family doesn't have too many rules, and it doesn't matter if you set your mind at night or in the morning. If you miss me, come and see me, and you can go out if you're bored."

Liu Yanwan agreed, and after seeing off the old lady, she lay down again, this time sleeping very peacefully.

On the other side, Shen Jia and Zhao Zhang went back to their room after worshiping and drank the wine. Although they had no hijab to remove, they still did everything else that could be done.

Early the next morning, when Shen Jia woke up, she found that Zhao Zhang had left, leaving a note beside the pillow, which read: I went to court for my husband, and we will have dinner together when he comes back.

Shen Jia supported her waist and sat up, crumpled the note and threw it out, thinking: This is so easy to say for my husband, it seems that the addiction from last night has not passed.

He Yan came to wake him up, Shen Jia went to take a bath and changed clothes, put on a new suit and went to the backyard, he went to the east courtyard first, and learned that Liu Yanwan had already gone to the front hall alone, so he turned to the front hall.

The bride had to meet her relatives early in the morning. Shen Jia had already informed everyone yesterday, and she would only meet her relatives later today. She didn't expect that everyone's evening would be different from his.

"Jiajia is here... Come in quickly." Mother Shen waved to him.

Father Shen snorted coldly, and scolded angrily: "It's ridiculous. When a bride enters the house, there is no one who would let her come here alone to greet her. Your knowledge has been learned in the stomach of a dog."

Several elder sisters also expressed their disapproval. Who doesn't want to be favored by her husband when she gets married, and she was left behind on the first day of the wedding. They didn't even dare to think about this feeling, so you attacked Shen Jia with every word.

Shen Jia accepted the teaching with an open mind, and sincerely admitted her mistake, "It's my fault, I got up late."

Liu Yanwan met Shen Jia for the second time, and it was almost a year since the last time. She saw Shen Jia's complexion was ruddy, and there were faint red spots under his collar. She couldn't guess the reason for his late arrival, so she helped him out with a smile: "Husband told me last night that I can get up later this morning. I came here alone because I was worried."

"You don't have to speak for him, just scold him for doing something wrong, otherwise he won't have a long memory." said the elder sister Shen Jing.

It was the grandmother of the Kang family who saw Shen Jia being besieged by everyone and distressedly rescued him, "Okay, okay, Jiajia is a high-ranking official, and you still surround him to teach him a lesson, it's too disrespectful to him. Wrong, let the young couple go back to the house and talk for themselves."

Everyone let out good-natured laughter, but Shen's father had a stiff expression. The other guests were far from knowing that Shen Jia had known from the morning that Shen Jia did not go to the new house last night, but lived in his own yard.

In his opinion, this is a very unbelievable thing. On a happy and happy day, the couple should have the same room even if they don't do anything.

But he didn't dare to tell the public about such a shameful thing, and even kept it from his daughters.

The two greeted the elder one by one and accepted the gift. Liu Yanwan also presented the clothes, shoes and socks she made, and gave the younger generation a meeting gift. The recognition of relatives was over.

Father Shen coughed and said majestically: "We should go to worship our ancestors today and record your name in the genealogy, but the ancestral hall of the Shen family is in Baoning Prefecture, and we won't be able to go back for a while, but don't worry, for your father I have already told my clan brother, and I will record your name as soon as possible."

Liu Yanwan bowed her knees, "Daughter-in-law understands, thank you father-in-law for your concern."

After recognizing the relatives, the female relatives of the family got together to talk and chat. Father Shen called Shen Jia into the study room, closed the door and asked, "What did you do last night?"

Shen Jia felt guilty, touched her nose and said, "Father...I..."

"Don't make up lies for me. Don't think that I don't know your bad temper. You look honest, but you are actually the most cunning. If you don't tell me a real reason, don't even think about walking out of this door today."

Shen Jia wanted to tell him the truth for a moment, and would be beaten up at worst, but she was afraid that he would faint from anger, that would be too sinful.

"Father, why do you still take care of your son's private life?"

"You think I want to take care of it? You didn't go to the new house last night. How many servants at home are watching? Guess what they will say? They must think that you are not satisfied with the wife you married. How will you let your wife gain a foothold at home in the future? "

"But..." Shen Jia raised her head, looked into her father's eyes, and said, "I'm really not satisfied with her."

"You..." Father Shen thought about the origin of his daughter-in-law, and thought that this marriage was bestowed by the emperor. They only cared about being happy, but forgot that maybe Shen Jia didn't like this marriage.

"Then why didn't you say it earlier? If you really don't like it, you should try to talk to the emperor even if you resist the decree. Didn't you say that you have a lot of face in front of the emperor?"

Shen Jia didn't dare to speak ill of the emperor, so she could only take the blame on herself, "I don't blame the emperor, it's because I can't get along with her, and we agreed in advance that after marrying her and entering the house, she will be her husband In her own home, the east courtyard will belong to her in the future."

Shen's mother knocked on the door and came in, she knew what her husband was asking when she saw his appearance, she winked at Shen Jia, walked over with a smile, "Okay, I know about this, it's not uncommon for young people to think about it for a while, It will be great if you figure it out after a long time, can you really live alone for the rest of your life?"

"You know?" Father Shen was shocked.

"Yeah, didn't you always ask me what was on my mind a while ago? That's the matter. This marriage was bestowed by the emperor, and it is absolutely impossible to object. And Yan Wan also has no feelings for him, but these are trivial matters, we will not interfere with young people's affairs."

"What do you mean? Just let it go without interfering? Whose marriage is not like this? If you don't like her, who do you like?"

Shen Jia shook her head: "No one, it's just... need some time to get familiar with him, Dad, don't worry about it, my son knows what kind of person he wants."

Father Shen twisted his beard in anger, pointed at him and scolded: "Even if you don't like him, you have already married him, and you will be responsible if you marry him. You are like a fish in water in the officialdom. I thought you were a sensible person, but unexpectedly You are so indifferent to your wife, have you ever thought about her feelings? Have you thought about what to do if she is lonely and uncomfortable after marrying from the Liu family? You are irresponsible!"

Shen Jia knelt down and opened her mouth to say something, but she was stopped by Shen's mother loudly, "Okay, the relatives are still there, you have to teach him to wait until they leave, and I went to see Yan Wan last night, she They are not unhappy, they are clear about the matter of these two people, so don't get involved."

"Why are you making trouble for no reason?" Father Shen looked at his wife in shock.

"I'm not making trouble for no reason. I really like this daughter-in-law and I'm going to treat her like a daughter. Since the son treats her badly, we will treat her well. When a woman marries, she can treat her well even if she doesn't meet a good husband. Have a good life, let's talk about the future." Shen's mother felt tired, and when she encountered such a thing, she couldn't sleep all night with worry, but she couldn't bear to break her son's relationship, seeing him and Zhao Zhang's love Xiangyue, you can tell that you really like someone, how can she have the heart to let him fall into pain?

"How can this be the same? A husband is a husband, and in-laws are in-laws." Father Shen's voice weakened. What's the use of being anxious about such things?

He sighed and said: "I thought I would be able to have a grandson next year, but now it seems hopeless. When your cousin gets married at the end of the year, we will go back with your grandfather's family. You can figure it out yourself." .”

"father……"

Father Shen waved his hand to tell him to get out, the emperor didn't worry about the eunuchs, so he didn't care.

Shen Jia kowtowed three times, "Father, I have let you down."

Shen's mother stood aside and wept silently, and said a word of persuasion: "Just look at it."

Shen Jia got up and walked out, leaving her parents in the room to talk, knowing in her heart that this matter would not be kept secret for long.
