Chapter 176 The Wedding Banquet

The case of Jingzhou Disaster Bank was not mentioned in the original book by Rongxuan, and the collapse of Donglinhou's Mansion was only because they cooked oil with fire and bloomed with flowers. Later, their power became too powerful, which aroused the emperor's fear.But I didn't expect that they were behind this incident.

Seeing that Rong Xuan was lost in thought, Ji Fan raised his hand to touch his earlobe, and hooked his fingertips lightly, as if a lover was playing around: "But if we want to confirm this matter, we still need to find the batch of disaster money. From the capital city On the way to Jingzhou, we passed through 67 prefectures and counties. No one knew which step went wrong. I sent someone to investigate, but I haven’t replied yet. I didn’t expect that beggar to find you. I only hoped that he would return. Didn't leave the capital, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to catch him back."

Rong Xuan took his hand, put it to his lips and kissed it: "It's not difficult. Since he threw something at me, he can't help but look at my reaction. You sent someone to lie in ambush near my house That's right."

Ji Fan's palms itch from being kissed, and he unconsciously clenched his fingertips. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a commotion from outside. It turned out that it was the princess's arrival.

Princess Yannian is the queen's direct descendant, the younger sister of the prince, so the ostentation on the wedding day is naturally extraordinary.Gong Nei specially gave a whole pair of gold-capped and treasure-topped phoenixes to send off the relatives. Flowers paved the way, and red silk was laid on the bottom, straight all the way.Hundreds of maids in colorful clothes led the way with incense burners, and the bridesmaids who welcomed the bride put several colorful whips in front of the princess' mansion, crackling like a New Year.

Yan Fengchen was dressed in happy attire, and led the way on a tall horse. Although his face was immature, with a bit of youthful innocence, he looked very handsome.It's just that he was always like a monkey, frowning and looking back at the princess sitting in Feng Luan's gauze tent, curious and depressed at the same time.

On the martial arts competition stage that day, Yan Fengchen followed Ji Fan's order to go to the martial arts competition, but in the end he was selected as the son-in-law in a daze.In the past few days, he was arrested and sent to the palace to learn etiquette and rules, but he was tormented miserably. Two of the nuns who were in charge of teaching had their front teeth knocked out by him.

Marrying a wife is really troublesome!

Damn, he doesn't like marrying a wife at all!

Seeing the gate of the Princess Mansion, Yan Fengchen reluctantly got off his horse, stood at the gate and waited.According to the wedding customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the prince Zhao Su stepped forward and carried the princess down from the phoenix.Everyone else was beaming, only she didn't look very happy.

Zhao Yannian lay on Zhao Su's not so generous back, his eyes were all red and he couldn't see anything clearly.She was inexplicably sad, clutched Zhao Su's shoulders, and called out in a low voice: "Brother Huang..."

Zhao Yannian wore a heavy golden crown on his head, and the wedding dress was complicated, so it was unavoidably heavy, but Zhao Su didn't say a word and walked very slowly.She was originally a woman, and it was hard work to pretend to be a man, but she never thought that even this stupid younger sister would suffer a bad fate.

How should a stupid woman survive in a wealthy family...

Why do women have to marry...

Zhao Su is trying to become the crown prince, trying to become the emperor.She thought that she could raise this younger sister for the rest of her life, even if she didn't marry.But in the end it is still fledgling and cannot compete with the dogma of this dynasty.

There is no need to marry far away in a foreign country, this is already the best ending that Zhao Su can arrange for Zhao Yannian...

Zhao Su closed his eyes, and only whispered a word: "If he bullies you in the future, he must come and tell Brother Huang."

She walked to the gate of the mansion, leaned over to let Zhao Yannian land safely, then took her hand and gently stuffed a piece of red silk, and handed the other piece of red silk to Yan Fengchen.

Yan Fengchen wanted to take it subconsciously, but Zhao Su suddenly took it back, looked straight into his eyes and said: "I love Yannian so much, I love my life more than my life. I am married today, and I will entrust half of my life to General Yan." Love it and cherish it."

Yan Fengchen's eyes were blank for a moment when he heard this.The words were too deep, and he couldn't understand what they meant, but he probably understood that the other party wanted him to treat the princess well, so he nodded subconsciously: "Oh..."

He doesn't hit women, as long as the bride doesn't compete with him for snacks.

Zhao Su didn't say anything, and handed him the red silk.Together with the onlookers on both sides, they watched from the back as they entered the main hall, knelt down and performed the ceremony of heaven and earth, and then the emissary in the palace recited the imperial decree issued by the emperor, and bestowed a bunch of lengthy and enviable fiefdoms.

Standing in the crowd, Rong Xuan leaned on Ji Fan lightly with his arm, and said jokingly, "I don't think General Yan seems very happy to get married. You have made him miserable."

Ji Fan glanced at him: "How can you be the one who is unwilling to look alone? Anyway, the bridal chamber has not been entered, so you can replace Yan Fengchen in time now."

He predicted that Rong Xuan would never die against the princess.

Rong Xuan smiled, and deliberately let out a long sigh: "I have a heart but no guts. The young daughter-in-law in the family is handsome, but also jealous and short-tempered. I can't bear to abandon her."

Nalan Chun appeared out of nowhere, holding a small jar of wine in his arms, and asked in confusion, "Daughter-in-law? Where did you get your daughter-in-law from? Didn't your wife run away with someone?"

As soon as Ji Fan heard it, he knew that someone was telling nonsense, so he gave Rong Xuan a sneaky look.

Rong Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and he shook his fan leisurely: "I ran away with someone, but I chased him back later, I'll introduce you another day."

Nalan Chun was delighted when he heard the words: "Your wife has run away with someone else, what do you want her to do, with a green hat on her head, isn't this a living turtle bastard?"

As always, he threw the basin in the latrine, and the stinky porcelain collapsed.

Ji Fan originally wanted to laugh when he heard the words, but felt that he had been scolded by the words, so he put away his smile again, and said in a flat tone: "The king of the little county doesn't know something, this Mr. Rong is a seed of infatuation, and he can't bear it." What about the one at home?"

Nalan Chun wanted to talk nonsense, but Rong Xuan's eyes always liked to run towards pretty girls, so there was no trace of infatuation.However, before he could open his mouth, Rong Xuan stopped him like a prophet: "What are you holding in your arms?"

Mentioning this, Nalan Chun felt complacent: "Chunshan is cold, I searched for a long time in the wine cellar before I found it."

Rong Xuan grasped the sensitive words: "Looking for?"

Nalanchun: "Take it."

Rong Xuan: "Steal?"

Nalan Chun was anxious: "What is stealing? Yannian and I grew up together. Would she still be reluctant to give me a jar of wine?"

Rong Xuan didn't argue with him, he glanced casually, and suddenly found that Liu Jianlai was also there.The other party stood not far away with a gloomy face, his eyes seemed to be soaked in poisonous juice, and he stared at Na Lanchun viciously, fearing that the visitor was not good.

Rong Xuan slowly put away the folding fan, and said to Na Lanchun without a trace: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, these few days be careful when Liu Jian comes, new and old grudges, I'm afraid he won't be able to spare you."

Nalan Chun didn't know whether he had listened to it or not, he just fiddled with the jar of wine in his hand: "Don't worry, Liu Jianlai's pig's brain can still harm me."

Rong Xuan smiled, he liked Nalan Chun's self-confidence.

On the other side, the princess and son-in-law have also been sent to the bridal chamber.It stands to reason that they were supposed to perform Zhou Gong's rituals under the guidance of the nanny in the palace, but because Princess Yannian was stupid and afraid of seeing strangers, this rule was abolished, and only the personal servants were left to serve.

"My son-in-law, please lift your hijab."

The servant girl Mi Yue always felt that the son-in-law was a bit stupid, since he entered the bridal chamber, he didn't say a word, and sat at the table alone for half a cup of tea.She really couldn't see it, so she could only bite the bullet and remind her.

Yan Fengchen looked distressed, he had no choice but to step forward, and hesitantly lifted the princess's hijab.He was really afraid that he would come back after marrying an ugly monster, but he didn't expect that when the hijab was lifted, he was caught off guard by a pair of deer-like dark and moist eyes, and he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Zhao Yannian was born with bright eyes and bright teeth, almost nine points similar to Zhao Su's, but his face was softer and more charming.Her hijab was suddenly lifted, and her eyes widened subconsciously, but she saw a young man in a wedding dress staring at her.

Yan Fengchen squatted in front of her, put his hands on his chin and exclaimed: "Wow, you are so beautiful."

Seeing this, the servant girl covered her lips and smiled, thinking that this son-in-law is not stupid after all.Quietly exited with a wink, and locked the door by the way.

I don't know if Yan Fengchen's baby face looks too harmless, Zhao Yannian is not afraid of him, he just hides a little nervously, the golden crown and tassels on his head collided, and looked at him curiously: "You are A son-in-law? A native of Yan Kingdom?"

For the good omen of many children and many blessings, a thick layer of longan, red dates and peanuts was spread on the bed, as well as various dried fruits.Yan Fengchen's eyes drifted up uncontrollably, and he nodded absent-mindedly: "My adoptive father is Han Xiaoyun."

He felt that Han Xiaoyun was extremely powerful, something worth showing off.

Zhao Yannian didn't recognize it, so he ignored it.She rubbed her belly and thought of something, and took out a delicate snack box from her sleeve, which contained delicate plum blossom cakes.She was dragged up by the nanny to dress up early in the morning, and she hadn't eaten anything until now, and she was almost starving.

So Yan Fengchen could only watch the bride eat in front of him, swallowed, and finally couldn't help but leaned over and asked, "You... what are you eating?"

Zhao Yannian generously put a piece of dessert in his hand: "Cake, let's eat together."

Yan Fengchen's eyes immediately lit up when he heard the words, thinking that this daughter-in-law is really wonderful, even better than His Highness: "Okay!"

The two of them sat directly on the ground and made all the pastries in the box, but there was still not enough to eat.Yan Fengchen stared at the dried longan sprinkled on the bed again, he didn't dislike it, he threw it into his mouth and ate it.

Zhao Yannian only likes to eat walnuts, but after pinching them twice, he can only watch Yan Fengchen eat them.The latter seemed to have noticed something, looked over, and asked vaguely with something stuffed in his mouth, "Do you want to eat walnuts?"

Zhao Yannian nodded as the chicken pecked at the rice, and the golden crown squeaked.

Yan Fengchen thought it was not easy, he grabbed a handful of walnuts, crushed the shell with a click, but the nuts inside were all intact: "Take it and eat it."

Zhao Yannian opened his eyes wide and exclaimed: "You are so strong!"

Yan Fengchen patted his chest: "I have practiced martial arts."

When Zhao Yannian heard that he knew martial arts, he was even more amazed: "You are so good!"

The compliment made Yan Fengchen feel embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "You are so beautiful too."

At this time, the outside guests were completely unaware that their son-in-law and the princess were flirting with each other in the boudoir on their wedding night. Only Ji Fan thought of Yan Fengchen's character and was inexplicably worried about their bridal chamber.

However, Rong Xuan was still sarcastic: "You are worried about them, you might as well worry about yourself."

"Me?" Ji Fan glanced at him, "What should I worry about?"

The night was getting dark, and no one noticed their side at this time.Rong Xuan covered his face with a fan, approached Ji Fan's ear, and asked in a low voice: "If there is a chance in the future, you and I get married, shouldn't you worry about yourself?"

Ji Fan paused: "Say it as if you would really marry me."

Rong Xuan didn't speak when he heard the words, stared at him for a few seconds before he said abruptly: "...Who said I won't marry you, in the future I will have a beautiful wedding, which is more beautiful than the princess getting married today."

Rong Xuansheng is very good-looking, his eyes are like hooks, always hiding a smile.At this time, he was rarely serious, his face fell in the half-dark shadow, and was illuminated by the orange lantern with a few warm jade colors.

Ji Fan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he raised his eyebrows without any emotion and asked, "Do you really dare to marry?"

It actually took some courage for Rong Xuan to say this. After all, he is a non-marriage advocate. He stretched out his hand and pinched Ji Fan's face: "Why are you lying to me?"

Ji Fan actually doesn't care about those common etiquettes, but he likes Rong Xuan's respect for him.Hearing the words, he curled his lips into a smile, and the whole room was filled with brilliance: "If you dare to marry, you will naturally dare to marry alone. You don't need to be extravagant."

Seeing that Ji Fan's eyes seemed to be shining brightly, Rong Xuan felt inexplicably soft for a moment, and wanted to kiss him.But the occasion is not allowed, so I can only use my sleeve to cover it, and lightly stroked Ji Fan's palm: "That's not allowed, you are the prince, you can't do without beauty."

He just likes this man's good looks, but he is a prince, and he has never enjoyed the honor for a day.

Ji Fan must be happy in his heart, otherwise the degree of blackening would not suddenly drop by 7%.The system quietly lay on Rong Xuan's shoulder, thinking that even marriage can reduce the degree of blackness?

Seeing the system, Rong Xuan thought of something, deliberately gestured with his hand, and added to Ji Fan with a half-smile: "If there is a chance in the future, I will give you another big diamond ring."

Ji Fan was stunned for a moment: "What diamond ring?"

The system's back suddenly felt cold when it heard the words, and immediately disappeared into the air with a whoosh.snort!Why do these annoying humans always like to give diamonds, can't they cherish endangered species?

#I'm so mad at you#

Rong Xuan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a broken rock."

After the wedding banquet, everyone dispersed, but Nalanchun was still drinking and fighting with a group of cronies, it seemed that he planned to get drunk and not return home.Rong Xuan was going to go back with Ji Fan's carriage, but he stopped him: "You'd better walk back."

Rong Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Ji Fan smiled: "Didn't you want to catch that beggar? There are so many people, he will not dare to show up. If you go back in my car blatantly, wouldn't you scare the snake away?"

Rong Xuan thought about the same reasoning, so he reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​taking a carriage.Ji Fan gave some instructions to the deputy commander, and secretly sent several masters to ambush around, waiting for the beggar to show up and arrest him immediately.

Zhao Su never drank alcohol, and his mind was heavy, so he sat for a while and left the princess mansion.Seeing his sweetheart leave, General Xuanyuan Qing couldn't help stepping up to keep up, hesitatingly said: "Your Highness is going back to the residence, I will escort His Highness in the end."

Corporal Zhao Sulixian, of course he would not let him see him off. How could a dignified general do the job of a servant: "It's okay, just go back by yourself."

Xuanyuan Qing asked tentatively: "Does Your Highness have something on your mind?"

Zhao Su trusted him quite a bit, and didn't hide anything when he heard the words. Seeing no one around, he raised his hand to signal his followers to take five steps back, then lowered his voice and said, "Recently, my mother's health has been deteriorating, and Concubine Liu seems to be in power. I'm afraid that Donglinhou's mansion will not be safe, so I want to help my eighth brother to take over."

There are too many dirty things in Donglinhou's mansion, but all of them are not enough to cause a fatal blow.Zhao Su needs more weighty evidence to beat them hard.

Zhao Su didn't know what came to mind, and suddenly said to Xuanyuan Qing: "General, does the general know about the case of Jingzhou disaster money being swallowed?"

Xuanyuan Qing nodded: "I heard a little."

Although he is skilled in swordsmanship, he is not sensitive to the current situation of the government. He can be a handsome general, but he can't make plans.It often takes a person to think things through before they can understand what the other person is talking about.

Zhao Su's eyes were serious and he said: "Gu suspects that Donglin Hou's mansion is behind this matter, and even Sun De, the Minister of the Household Department, cannot escape the responsibility. Last month, Gu secretly checked the money and food, and found that there were several expenditures in the treasury that were not in line. I'm afraid that someone in the court will form a clique for personal gain and deceive the superior and the inferior."

Xuanyuan Qing couldn't help being furious when he heard the words: "They are so courageous!"

Zhao Su signaled him to be calm and not to be impatient: "I said this to the general, but there is actually something I want to ask the general to help..."

Sitting in the carriage, Ji Fan had a panoramic view of their conversation through the curtain.He chuckled, knowing that Zhao Su was about to make a move, he told the deputy commander: "Go, let Xiao Duo secretly watch and see what they are going to do."

In fact, it is safer for Yan Fengchen to handle this matter. He is a second-rank swordsman, so at least he will not be caught.However, people still spend candles in the bridal chamber, I'm afraid they won't be able to get away.

Thinking of this, Ji Fan leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes, falling into silence, not knowing what he was thinking.

If they really lose their lives to the Zhou Kingdom in the future, the position of son-in-law can also be regarded as a talisman, and it can also protect Yan Fengchen's life if something happens in the future...

And Rong Xuan...

And Rong Xuan...

Ji Fan silently clenched his fingertips, his desire to win this game of chess has never been so strong.

For a period of time afterwards, the people sent by Ji Fan had been closely monitoring the movements around the Rong family, but they found nothing for several days.Rong Xuan felt that he could no longer sit still and wait for death.He simply dug out the bag left by the beggar, and stuffed a piece of silver and a stack of papers into it.When it was dark and no one was around, he swaggered out and threw it directly into the ditch by the roadside.

"Your method really works, what if he doesn't come to pick you up?"

In the dead of night, Ji Fan and Rong Xuan hid in the trees, watching whether the beggar would come to pick up the kits in the ditch.However, half an hour passed, and there was still no movement.

"I don't believe that he would really watch the bloody letter lying in the ditch. After all, it contains dozens of lives."

Rongxuan's legs were numb from squatting, and he wanted to change his position, but he stopped thinking because the tree was not strong.He glanced at Ji Fan beside him: "Why don't you go to the tree opposite?"

Ji Fan glanced at him when he heard the words, and gained a new understanding of Rong Xuan's shameless state, and reminded him word by word: "This is the tree that Gu preoccupied."

Rong Xuan just likes to fight lawsuits. When he heard the words, he smiled but said: "Then why doesn't your highness let me go, not even a tree, and even said that he wants to make me the emperor's husband. I'm stupid to be your emperor's husband." ……hiss……"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Fan directly lowered his head and bit his shoulder, the pain was so painful that Rong Xuan gasped: "Release quickly, you will be found out."

Ji Fan: "Who told you to talk too much?"

Just as the two of them were in the nest, a Ye Xianglang suddenly dragged a dung cart through the bottom. He was cleaning the ditch, but suddenly found a brocade bag inside, and bent down to pick it up.

"what is this……"

Seeing this, Ji Fan and Rong Xuan stopped their movements by coincidence, and fixed their eyes on the person who poured Yexiang.He emptied the kit with all his strength, and out of it was a ten tael ingot of snow-patterned silver, as well as a few pieces of light letter paper.

"silver?!"

Seeing this, Ye Xianglang once suspected that he was dazzled. How could he pick up a piece of snowflake silver in the middle of the night for no reason? !For a moment, he didn't care that the silver was stained with mud, so he bent down to pick it up and wiped it with his sleeve. Then he felt that the light and fluffy paper looked like a silver note. He picked it up and was about to examine it, but suddenly he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck. , rolled his eyes and fell to the ground and passed out——

A ragged beggar appeared behind him at some point.

The beggar didn't care about the fainted man, and immediately knelt down and took out the ingot of silver from his arms, but seeing that the bottom was clean without any traces, his expression changed.He quickly picked up the letter paper and looked at it, and found that it was also empty. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked, and wanted to leave immediately, but it was too late, and there were two gleaming swords on his neck quietly.

Rong Xuan's voice sounded abruptly behind him, with a bit of joking: "It's been a few days since we last said goodbye. Your Excellency came and went in a hurry, why don't you go to my mansion for a cup of tea, and see the old man before leaving?"

The beggar gritted his teeth silently and said nothing.

Ji Fan didn't have so much free time to talk nonsense, the sword body approached silently, and said coldly: "Get up, if you have anything to say, we'll talk in the mansion."

The latter sentence was preached to Rong.
