[Red House] The First Imperial Merchant

Chapter 94 Baochai's Big Wedding

During the ceremony of the crown prince's ascension to the throne, many favors were granted that day, such as rewarding border guards, offering Enke, and promoting Xue Pan to the rank of grand tutor.Emperor Zunpingkang is the Supreme Emperor Renjing, Empress Xiao is the Empress Dowager Shunshu, and the birth mother, Concubine Rui, is the Empress Dowager.Since Emperor Pingkang abdicated, he did not propose to move out of the Qianqing Palace. Zhao Hongyi offered to propose that he would still live in the Wenhua Palace and the Qin Tianjian was in Pang Nuonuo. , What if the emperor gets married in the future?It can't be that the Kunning Palace is also occupied, what a shame!

Emperor Pingkang didn't seem to see Lord Qin Tianjian's face, anyway, he won't move, looked impatient, waved his hand and said: "Just let the queen move to another place!"

Qin Tianjian didn't dare to correct him. Emperor Pingkang can no longer be called a queen, but should be called the Empress Dowager Shunshu.Zhao Hongyi nodded and asked Baode to pick out a good place for the queen mother to move there, so he didn't mention it anymore.At this time, it was only ten days before the enthronement ceremony.Emperor Pingkang didn't cooperate in various ways, and the new emperor's bedroom and ceremony arrangements had to be troublesome. Fortunately, there were more people in the palace and the arrangements could be completed by the end of March.

The new emperor is enthroned, conforming to the world, the sun is shining, and all things are happy.The reign name was changed to Yuanwu.

Emperor Wu of the Yuan Dynasty was a young new emperor, who first became a great treasure at the age of 17. He didn't show his style and methods in the court. He only knew about cronyism.Emperor Pingkang sneered at this in his heart, it was just a child's trick, such a young man had better handle it, the big power was still in his hands.Every day in the court, Emperor Pingkang had to take a look at it. Within ten days, all the officials knew that the new emperor was just a puppet emperor, and their hearts were relieved, and there was no respect and fear for the new emperor.Quite a few of them were clever enough to please the Emperor all day long, either as gifts for this precious person or for women, as if they didn't take the new emperor seriously.

Zhao Hongyi didn't make a big fuss about it, his expression was as usual, as if he couldn't tell anything, he obediently went to the Qianqing Palace to pay his respects every day, and even asked Emperor Pingkang how to deal with the political affairs of the court.

Emperor Pingkang felt comfortable being served respectfully by Zhao Hongyi, and his initial loss dissipated. In mid-April, he proposed to marry Zhao Hongyi.Marrying a wife is not a trivial matter for the royal family. Which family in the capital has their eyes open, those whose status is too low to dare to think about the position of queen think about the position of concubine and concubine, and the new emperor ascends the throne. Not to mention that now Zhao Hongyi's harem is bare, without even a nobleman, it looks pitiful.

The candidate for the new heir came out soon. A prostitute of the Patriarch Pan's family wanted to call Zhao Hongyi her cousin according to her relationship.But it has always been the case, Zhao Hongyi saw this little cousin when he was a child, she was a quiet girl, Zhao Hongyi didn't care who was the queen, he had never tasted love until now, so naturally it didn't matter who he married.The new empress was intervened by the Holy Mother Empress Dowager. Emperor Pingkang was not satisfied, so he sent two concubines to Zhao Hongyi. They were all ministers that Emperor Pingkang valued when he was in power. Concubine Jing.

One queen and four concubines.There are still two vacant concubines, and everyone in the capital thinks about it.This day, Jiamu of Rongguo Mansion came into the palace to visit the Empress Dowager Shunshu with a letter of worship, and it happened that Emperor Pingkang was also there, so she understood the purpose of her visit.The ancestors of the Rongguo Mansion warded off disasters for the late emperor, and Emperor Pingkang became soft-hearted when he was old. Seeing that Jia's mother was old and tired and had to work hard for her granddaughter, he waved Yuan De to invite the emperor over.

Zhao Hongyi didn't make any detours when he arrived at Emperor Pingkang, and directly told Jia Mu's intentions.Zhao Hongyi hated Jia's mansion the most. He still hadn't forgotten that Jia Huan was injured that day. This old man even dared to lick his face and come over to beg for grace. You must know that Jia's mansion took refuge with his second brother that day. Don't think that his second brother went It's over.

In Jia's mansion, women who are suitable for marriage are three springs, welcome spring eighteen, explore spring seventeen cherish spring sixteen.Among the three springs, Jia's mother is most interested in Tanchun. Tanchun is smart and can judge the situation. She is the most suitable for living in the palace, and Tanchun herself also has this meaning. In the future, the palace can also help Baoyu's future.Mother Jia was a little wary of Zhao Hongyi, hesitated to speak, and smiled a little awkwardly, "My second son has a daughter named Tanchun---"

"Daughter?" Zhao Hongyi sneered and said, "Let's not mention the issue of concubine, how dare the daughter of a fifth-rank official dare to come to me? Father really welcomes Tanchun into the palace, and I am afraid that all the officials in Beijing will not accept it." , although the Rongguo Mansion is said to be the queen of heroes, it can't just put all cats and dogs here."

Mother Jia's face wrinkled into a ball, and she forced a smile, "Tanchun's status is a little lower, but what about Yingchun? Yingchun belongs to the big house---"

"Although she's from the big family, she's a concubine." Zhao Hongyi didn't like the Rongguo Mansion very much, and he spoke in a fierce manner. He glanced at his father, afraid that he felt that he had swept his face, his face was dark Yes, I'm afraid I have to force myself to marry someone surnamed Jia today, but I can't, remembering that Brother Huan was bedridden and recuperated, it seems that only the youngest of the three springs went to see it, it seemed that it was called Xichun, and he was timid when he didn't talk much. , "Then let's cherish the spring! The daughter of Jia Jing in the Ningguo Mansion, her status is also considered suitable, what about her age?"

"Sixteen." Mother Jia saw that the situation was over, her eyes showed a bit of resignation, she was busy with her work, and she gave up her old face and made a wedding dress for Ningguo Mansion.

Emperor Pingkang saw that his son nodded and agreed for his sake, so he laughed, "Then Jia Xichun will be fixed, and Qin Tianjian will find a day, and you and the queen will be welcomed together on the day of their wedding."

Not to mention how angry Jia's mother was when she returned home, the imperial decree arrived at Ningguo Mansion on the same day.The relationship between the two brothers and sisters was originally cold, and Jia Zhen was even more ignorant of Chun, but now they are very warm and blatantly flattering.Jia Xichun is withdrawn and cold by nature, but she is still a 16-year-old girl after all. Seeing her brother treat her like this, although she knows that she has other plans, she is still a little happy in her heart.

Since the fourth concubine chose Xichun from Ningguo Mansion, the whole capital knew that it was Jia Mu who invited her into the palace. Although she didn't like it on the surface, everyone with some status went to the palace. I also have a bit of dislike for Jiamu, there are no rules!

The last imperial concubine was appointed by Empress Dowager Shunshu to a little girl from her natal family, only fourteen years old, named Xiao Qiang'er.The positions of the first queen and the four concubines have been confirmed, and the boiling family in the capital has calmed down a lot, and the rest are petty officials who are looking forward to the draft girls after their wedding.

The empress's wedding was scheduled for October of the same year. Zhao Hongyi was very playful and didn't like to engage in women's love affairs, so he didn't care about who he was going to marry. Anyway, now that Emperor Pingkang was involved in the country's affairs, Zhao Hongyi was happy Seeing this, Emperor Pingkang felt that he really made the right choice.

On this day, Zhao Hongyi arrived at Xue's mansion, because Xue Baochai was three days away from his wedding, the mansion was full of red and festive, and there were many guests.Zhao Hongyi didn't go through the main entrance either. Ever since he became the emperor, the servants here have been scrupled a lot, and it's very annoying. Relying on his good kung fu, he climbed over the wall and came in from the short hill behind.There were rustlings in the undergrowth, Zhao Hongyi was curious, so he found a big tree to sit and watch, and saw a young man about his age at the bottom, who was practicing sword. Nameless swordsmanship, this man probably practiced for a long time, his whole body is drenched, strands of hair stick to his face, he looks handsome from the side, not as gentle and handsome as the Han people, he is a bit barbarian sharp and handsome.

Zhao Hongyi was fascinated by watching from the tree, and he was rarely relaxed. He propped his chin and watched the young man under the tree make every move.

"Hey! Your move of Baihong Guanri is wrong here!" Zhao Hongyi flew down from the tree, and when he saw the young man, he took two steps back in an instant.Zhao Hongyi shrugged, "Are you a servant of the Xue family?"

Li Qi put the sword back into the scabbard, looked at the person in front of him coldly and alertly, saw that the person was dressed luxuriously, and said coldly: "Are you from the Pan family?"

Zhao Hongyi nodded, knowing that the young man regarded himself as a member of the Pan family, and smiled harmlessly, and said, "My name is Pan Yi, what's your name?" Seeing the other party turning around coldly and leaving, Zhao Hongyi followed behind, muttering, " Do you like to practice martial arts? I will too. Next time we practice martial arts together. If you practice martial arts alone, you won’t make any progress. Your move just now was wrong..."

Li Qi turned around suddenly, with scrutiny in his eyes, he glanced at the other party coldly, then frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"

"Ah?" Zhao Hongyi was having a good time talking, when he saw the young man talking to him, he smiled cunningly, "Tell me first what is your name?" He had already guessed the identity of this person, the master brought him back from Ximan A young man, this young man followed his master all day long, Brother Huan was often jealous and complained.

"Li Qi." Li Qi finished speaking lightly, drew his sword, went through the moves just now, and then looked at the other party.

Zhao Hongyi came back to his senses, "Bring the sword!" He took the sword and practiced Li Qi's move just now. He started practicing martial arts at the age of seven, and it has been ten years. Naturally, his skill and swordsmanship are much better than Li Qi's. Li Qi practiced martial arts too much. Chi, if it wasn't for the fact that good bones are the material for learning martial arts, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to learn this nameless exercise.Zhao Hongyi himself is also a seedling who learns martial arts, and he has a bit of blood and combativeness in his blood. He is the most talented person who is not afraid of hardship. Use brute force, this move focuses on lightness, it needs to be done skillfully, and the appearance must look elegant." This kind of swordsmanship looks much better to women who practice it.Zhao Hongyi propped his chin and rubbed secretly.

Li Qi took the sword and fiddled with it again, and it turned out to be much better than before. His figure was elegant, and he dexterously pulled a sword flower. When he turned around, the hair on his cheeks rippling, and his originally cold facial features softened a lot. Extremely Beautiful.

Zhao Hongyi was fascinated by it, thinking that this kid is not only good-looking, but also good-looking.

"You practice sword here all the time? Then I will find you to practice sword when I have time. It is very lonely to practice sword alone..."

In a blink of an eye it will be the day of Xue Baochai's wedding.That day Xue's house was full of guests and congratulations everywhere. Jia Huan stayed in Xue's residence last night and did not go back. He got up early in the morning to help entertain the guests. He looked like a master. Xue Wang loved him very much and only praised his son. Received a good apprentice.Sanchun and Daiyu from Jia's Mansion also came to send off the wedding. Daiyu saw that she had lost a lot of weight, but she was in good spirits. She held Baochai's hand and smiled and said that she already had it. She was just three months old, and she smiled with happiness on her face. , the tribulations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Jia's mansion are nothing.

As the sisters talked, they recalled the old days in Jia's mansion. They couldn't help but cry and laugh at the same time. It took a long time for Mrs. Xue to persuade her. Tanchun smiled and said: " Today is a good day for Sister Bao, why do we cry when we laugh?!"

Daiyu nodded, and Xichun's little face also showed a bit of yearning. She was a little afraid of entering the palace, but she saw Baochai wearing a wedding dress with a happy smile on her face, and Sister Lin, although she was usually sad Tired, but smiling happily after having a child, she vaguely looked forward to entering the palace.Only Yingchun and Tanchun showed a bit of loneliness, especially Yingchun was already eighteen...

Xue Pan stared at Jia Huan's bustling figure, and his heart felt astringent for a moment.Since Jia Huan confessed his love, he planned to distance himself slowly, so that Jia Huan would have more time to think carefully.

Jia Huan's feelings for him are not just love, but more like the apprentice's admiration for his master.Jia Huan was lonely and paranoid in her previous life, and she didn't die in a good way. In this life, she was reborn with hatred. You can see the hatred in this person's heart just by looking at the moves against Mrs. Wang, but this person is also very simple, just want to share Love and care, he is the one who protected and cared about Jia Huan today, if he doesn't show up and someone else shows up, will Jia Huan also fall in love with this other person? !

Thinking of Jia Huanhui falling in love with someone else, Xue Pan felt a slight prick in his heart, but it was fleeting, so he didn't think about it in detail.In fact, Jia Huan's feelings for Xue Pan are not purely love, as Xue Pan thinks, there are many mixed things, but why not Xue Pan's feelings for Jia Huan?But love accounted for too little, and other emotions were too much to be discovered.

Pan Jiashi is a good-looking man with a dignified appearance. Unlike Xue Pan's somewhat rough and masculine look, Pan Jiashi has a bookish face and an elegant demeanor.Great joy today, he is dressed in a red robe, with a vigorous smile on his face, very handsome and extraordinary.

Xue Pan didn't have any problems like Bao Dai's marriage that day, it's not because he was biased, but because he lived in Beijing for a day, and if Pan Jia really wanted to bully his sister, he had to consider his brother-in-law's skills.Daiyu was different, she had no one to back her up, she could only ask for superficial promises, and his identity as Marquis of Pingxi was Baochai's confidence.

If Xue Pan had looked like an elegant scholar before the age of 20, after four years of training in the battlefield, even if Xue Pan returned to an important position as a civil servant, he would not look like a civil servant.Therefore, standing at the door with a 1.8-meter-seven majestic body made Pan Jiashi feel terrified, and saluted politely, "Hello, brother." Seeing the somewhat cunning Xue Biao smiling beside him, he saluted: " Hello, tadpole."

Xue Pan scanned Pan Jiashi with his eyes, Pan Jiashi's hair stood on end, and he stood upright, not daring to move.After a long time, Xue Pan raised a gentle smile, scaring Pan Jiashi almost to run away.Xue Biao was smiling, and put an arm on Pan Jiashi's shoulder, "Baochai will be in your hands today. I am a delicate girl, so please take care of her." Just be careful!

Pan Jiashi returned the gift, saying that he would take good care of Baochai and would not bully Baochai and would not let her be wronged.

On the day of the wedding, Zhao Hongyi was also saving face. He came to Xue's residence for a meeting, suppressed the venue, sent Xue Baochai to the sedan chair, and then turned and went back.The Xue family is too busy, the master has no time to talk to him, brother Huan, who has not come to the door, already treats himself as a young mistress, the whole audience is busy, and he doesn't play with him, it's very boring!Bored, he planned to go back to the palace, but when he thought of Li Qi in the back mountain, he sent the eunuchs back to the palace, went to Jia Huan's courtyard, changed into Jia Huan's robe, and ran to the back mountain.

The one who greeted the relatives went back to the main street of the capital city, specifically to show off her natal family's dowry, and the ten-mile red makeup was very respectable.I used to say sour things about the fact that although the Xue family got a high-ranking official, their family background is not as good as that of a century-old family. Now I know that they are high-ranking and have a lot of money. This dowry is almost as good as the princess's marriage.

The Pan family's glory today is all due to Concubine Rui, and his father is only a third-rank official, and this is only when the new emperor ascends the throne.Pan's father has four sons and two daughters in total. The eldest son, the third son, and the fourth daughter are the descendants of the first wife. The first daughter is the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother. The second daughter has already been married. She was considered a good family at the beginning, but now she looks a bit low. Fortunately, the couple Life is peaceful and beautiful, and there is nothing wrong with the low points in the family world.The first three sons had already been married, and they all sought official positions in the court, the highest being the third and fourth rank officials.Now in the Pan residence, the eldest daughter-in-law is the housekeeper, she is a master, and she is very virtuous.Living with a large family, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts between the sisters-in-law, but Xue Pan believes that with Baochai's exquisite appearance and the Xue family's foundation, Baochai can live well.

Xue Pan's family got married, in fact, Xue's family was slightly superior, after all, the Pan family's real power in the court was not as large and powerful as Xue Pan's.

After Baochai's wedding, in the blink of an eye it was the wedding of the Empress and Emperor of October.The first year of Yuanwu passed with various festive days, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye. Before the fifteenth day, candidates from all over the country had flocked to the capital, waiting for the Enke in March.

At this time, in Jia's mansion, Jia Huan is already a sixth-grade official, and the place where he lives has long been moved out of the small courtyard. Now he lives in Lihuayuan. The place where Xue Pan lived before is usually very clean, and everyone in the house knows about Jia. Huan's temper seldom took the initiative to avoid being affected. Who in Jia's house didn't know Jia Huan's bad temper? !

One day, Jia Tanchun brought a box of pastries and knocked on the wooden door of Lihuayuan.
