Return to the Song Dynasty

Ma Zhen'er was staring blankly, when she heard a young and clear voice in front of her, "I, Zhao Yu, would like to marry Ma Shi Zhen'er as my wife. Whether you are poor or rich, whether you are healthy or sick, I love you. Respect you until death separates us. From now on, I only love you alone, spoil you, never lie to you, do everything I promise you, and sincerely say every word to you, Don’t bully you, believe you, if others bully you, I will come out to help you as soon as possible, when you are happy, I will accompany you to be happy, if you are unhappy, I will make you happy, I will always think you are the most beautiful Yes, I will see you in my dream, and there is only you in my heart."

Zhao Bi recited the lines in one breath, looked into Ma Zhen'er's eyes, and asked seriously: "Zhen'er, are you willing to marry me?"

'Yes, of course I would. 'Although what Zhao Bi said was a little weird (of course it sounds weird if a modern text strays into ancient times), it didn't prevent her from understanding the meaning.

In the Song Dynasty, due to the influence of Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism, a social form in which men are superior to women and women are completely subordinate to men has basically formed.The requirements for women are very strict. If a woman is ignorant, she is a virtue. A woman must be faithful to the end, and she must abide by the way of a woman.On the other hand, men generally have wives and concubines in groups, doing whatever they want. They often have hundreds of concubines and singers at home, and there are countless Yingyingyanyans.In this era, asking your husband to be the only woman is a fantasy, unless the family is so poor that they can't afford to support them.Which prince and grandson does not take concubines?Which talented scholar has no beauty?Which man would not be tempted by such elegant things as a confidante and a sweetheart.

Zhao Bi is the prince and the prince. Although he is only the county king now, he is the son of Shenzong and the official's younger brother. Sooner or later, he will be named prince.It was such a distinguished direct bloodline of the Great Song royal family who told her that he would only treat her well, love her alone, respect her, and never abandon her, and asked her if she would marry him.

"Yes, I am willing~" Ma Zhen'er was already so moved that she choked up. In fact, Ma Zhen'er didn't believe that Zhao Bi would be the only woman in the future, but even if Zhao Bi only treated her well and coaxed her at this time, she would willingly.Zhao Bi stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, Ma Zhen'er lay on Zhao Bi's chest, listening to the pounding heartbeat, her face became more and more red.

With a beautiful woman in his arms, warm and fragrant nephrite, Zhao Bi is naturally happy, but more of a peace of mind.It's not that he hasn't heard about Ma Zhen'er before, but Da Song attaches great importance to women's reputation, especially unmarried boudoir girls, and basically can't find out anything, only that she is very beautiful and talented.Zhao Bi is a lazy person. His greatest wish in this life is to live a peaceful life with his wife and children on the kang.It has never been his dream to have wives and concubines in groups. He just wants to be simple and peaceful. He doesn't want his wife to be beautiful, as long as she is not ugly, and he doesn't want her to be talented. good.

However, even this little wish is not easy to realize. Given his status, his marriage has never been decided by himself. Even if the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager dote on him, it is impossible for him to choose a commoner woman as his wife. That's the first condition.So he can only hope that the finally selected princess Ma Zhen'er can be what he expects, at least not have a bad personality (in fact, Zhao Bi is too worried, the women of the Song Dynasty are basically little quails in front of their husbands. Zhao Bi: How can a quail do it? If you are too timid, how can you live without talking? If you are too weak, I will not marry a younger sister Lin...Zhao Ji: Brother, in fact, your requirements are quite high.).Ma Zhen'er observed Zhao Bi, and Zhao Bi was observing her. Fortunately, they were quite satisfied with each other.

"Come on, Zhen'er, put on our wedding ring, oh, it's a token of love, it's unique." Zhao Yu picked up the smaller ring and put it in front of Ma Zhen'er, "Zhen'er, please be careful Look inside this ring, there is a word '佖' engraved here, representing your husband and me."

Ma Zhen'er was not as thick-skinned as Zhao Bi, and she was too shy to raise her head long ago, but Zhao Bi always did things unexpectedly, always fresh and interesting.Ma Zhen'er still leaned over, and by the bright candlelight, she really saw a small word '佖'.

Zhao Bi took Ma Zhener's left hand, carefully put the ring on the ring finger, and muttered: "Now you are locked up, you are mine." Hearing this, Ma Zhener wanted to laugh. Only when the little husband looks like this, can he really feel that he is still a boy, with the cuteness of a boy. (Zhao Bi: I’m actually an uncle at heart. Ma Zhener: I didn’t see it at all...)

"Then this ring is for the concubine to hold the lord?" Ma Zhen'er became more courageous, and also had a super comprehension ability, and immediately imitated Zhao Bi's tone and replied. "Ah, ah, yes, that's right. You see, the word in my name is 'Zhen'." Zhao Bi lifted the ring up to his princess as if offering a treasure, and asked someone to put it on his finger.

Zhao Bi slowly poured amber wine into the crystal glass again.Against the backdrop of the red candles, the wine in the glass was particularly alluring.The two looked at each other, blushing and drank the wine.Then, then... you know, blow out the candles, go to bed, it is not suitable for children, so I will omit it below...

On the second day after the marriage, as usual, the county king and his wife went to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. At the end, Zhao Bi was called by Zhao Xu and had a friendly conversation with brothers and sisters.

Three days later, return home for a day.Zhao Bi rode a tall horse to open the way for the princess in the sedan chair, followed by a large cart of gifts.This cart of gifts took out most of the warehouse in Zhao Bi’s house, rare calligraphy and paintings, Shu brocade and satin, and Zhao Bi made a lot of jewelry in advance for the jewelry store that he was about to open (it is very important to please the mother-in-law-Zhao Bi’s words).It can be said to be a big deal, and even the princess felt that it was too expensive, so she advised Zhao Bi not to do so.Zhao Yuhun didn't care, patted the concubine's hand, and said with a smile: "This is for the son-in-law to respect his father-in-law and his mother-in-law. Of course, he must prepare a generous gift. He married such a good daughter to me. Why don't I show it. Don't worry, don't worry." , I have my own way of making money, and we can earn these back in minutes." He told Li Lin, "Take more and more, pick the ones that are good, and make my princess look good."

In this way, early in the morning, Zhao Yu hurriedly took the princess back to her natal home.As soon as he walked to the entrance of the alley, he saw the servant of the Ma family waiting there. The servant saw that the prince had returned with the young lady in person, so he hurried forward to salute, and hurried back to the Ma residence. Tell me.

"Come back, come back, the lord personally brought... brought... the little lady back!" The young man ran out of breath, entered the door, and hurriedly announced the letter.The house is all ready, just waiting for the little lady to come back.When the whole family heard the news, they all took action quickly.

Hearing that the prince came back with his granddaughter in person, Mr. Ma stroked his beard and expressed his satisfaction: "Yeah, not bad." He took the whole family and went out to greet her.

When Zhao Bi walked to the door of Ma's house, what he saw was that the whole family of Ma's family was mobilized.Led by Mr. Ma Qu, next to Mrs. Ma, behind him are his father-in-law Ma Yun and his wife, brothers Ma Qi and Ma Bin, and Ma Yun's younger brother Ma Xi's family.Zhao Bi got off the horse quickly, took Ma Zhen'er out of the sedan chair, held Ma Zhen'er's hand, and solemnly greeted everyone in the Ma family.

Seeing Zhao Bi standing tall, handsome and polite, Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Li were mostly satisfied, and the more they looked at it, the more pleasing to the eye. 'This little prince is really handsome, none of the young talents selected for Zhen'er were as good-looking as him. ''Yo Yo, this is all fate, shouldn't Zhen'er deserve such a husband. 'It is said that the mother-in-law looks more and more interesting when she looks at her son-in-law, but that is not the case. (It’s true that a handsome face hides all ugliness. It’s been like this since ancient times to take advantage of a good face. Madam Ma, you forgot that you don’t like people who play cats and dogs and don’t think about making progress.)

Seeing Zhao Bi go to the sedan chair to pick up his little lady in person, his eyes lit up, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other. 'This little prince is good to our Zhen'er, he seems to love his wife. ''Talk to Zhen'er later, and then ask carefully how the little prince treats her. '

"My lord, my concubine, please come in." Seeing the ceremony, Mr. Ma hurriedly let the young couple into the yard, seeing his granddaughter blushing, only holding Zhao Bi's hand, not daring to look up at him. My heart is inexplicably sour.

After entering the courtyard, Ma Zhen'er will go to the back house to talk with her grandmother, mother and aunt.Zhao Bi was accompanied by Ding, a man from Ma's family. "Well, husband, my concubine is going to the back house with my mother first. Do you want to talk to grandpa and father? Well, I can let Ma Qi and Ma Bin take care of things." Ma Zhen'er was worried about Zhao Bi, Pulling him aside, he whispered instructions while looking at Brother Ma Qi. "Husband knows Ma Qi, you can also go to him. Grandpa is actually quite kind." He added a sentence at the end.

"Granddaughter, don't worry, grandpa is very kind, just say a few words to your husband, I won't eat his..." Kind grandpa Ma o(≧mouth≦)o

"Big sister, we all heard that your elbow is turning out too fast.And let Zhao Bi order your brother to work?My dear sister, I have only been married for a few days. Ma Qi glared at Zhao Bi fiercely. 'I don't know what ecstasy soup this fellow Zhao Bi gave my sister. '

"Don't worry, Chongzhong, I have never been to your house, I have to get to know my grandfather, father-in-law, uncle, and younger brothers well today, if you don't drive me away, I won't go back to the palace, and I will go back with you in the evening. "Zhao Bi said with a smile while holding the little hand of his princess. "It would be even better if I could see my rich boudoir, hehe." "My husband wants to see it, of course I can." Ma Zhener heard that Zhao Bi said that she couldn't leave, and she was very happy to wait for her to go home together at night Now, there are still two small blushes floating on the cheeks, and the whole person is brightened.Everyone in the Ma family was amazed.

'Why do you call your big sister 'Chong Chong'?Isn't the big sister called 'Zhen'er'? Ma Bin scratched his head in doubt, not understanding.

"Uh huh, cough cough!" Ma Yun had to cough to interrupt the sweet talk of the young couple. 'I really can't listen anymore, knowing that you two love each other, you two should go home and talk. '

"My lord, please, let's talk in the main hall."
