Chapter 2: Qi Xiao 2 was forced to sign a marriage contract and Cheng Shangzhi's marriage becam

In the middle of the night, the lights were still on in the Xiyuan study of Duke Qi’s mansion, and a Mr. Pianpian was painting. The girl in the painting was playful and cute, a little dazed, very likable.Thinking of the marriage invitation letter he signed a few days ago, Qi Heng threw away the wolf hair in his hand irritably, slumped on the chair, looked at the kneepad next to the bookcase, and looked depressed, "I was thinking too much after all."

One night three months ago, he once again proposed to his mother that he wanted to marry Sheng Minglan, but his mother still disagreed, saying that she was a concubine with a low status and was not worthy of being the lintel of Duke Qi's mansion.He got out of bed with his sick body dragged by his mother's words, "I'm going to the Sheng family to propose marriage now." As soon as he lifted the curtain and walked to the door, his mother forced him hysterically, "You go, just Let me and your father die."

He has listened to his mother's words since he was a child, and he can defy his mother's orders many times. It is exhausting for him to propose to marry Minglan again and again, but this time his mother is forcing him to die. He can only hold back. He doesn't understand , just an identity, is it really that important?

After recovering from his illness, he turned to his eldest sister for help. The eldest sister had treated him very well since childhood and was deeply loved by his grandmother. There must be a way to help him.That day, after the eldest sister and his mother came back from the Chu Palace, he went to look for the eldest sister. He and the eldest sister narrated his deep love for Minglan, and he was emotional and tearful, "Minglan is my life." , I promised that I would never let her down, if the eldest sister refuses, I will fight with my life." After speaking, she took out a dagger from her sleeve and pointed it at her neck, but the elder sister didn't care, and her expression did not change. Looking at him, every word pierced his heart fiercely, "If you are going to die, that girl from the Sheng family must die too."

He was a little overwhelmed, his whole body was weak, and the dagger in his hand slipped to the ground. The eldest sister still refused to let him go, "Today, my mother and I were invited to the Chu Palace. Daughter Cheng Shangzhi, my mother agreed on the spot. She knew you were coming to see me today, so she specially sent someone to send a marriage proposal." Qi Peilan sympathized with Qi Heng, and she wanted to help him, but she didn't have the ability, so she could only watch helplessly. He even wanted to stab him hard when he was most sad

Qi Heng was completely desperate, looking at the marriage proposal on the desk, his nose was sore, he reached out tremblingly to pick up the tray on which the marriage proposal was placed, his eyes were full of despair.He heard the elder sister's voice again, "After signing this marriage certificate, the girl of the Sheng family will be safe from now on." That wolf penis seemed to weigh a thousand catties, he couldn't lift it, really couldn't, shut it The word "Qi Heng" on the eye sign took all his life's effort.He left his elder sister's place in a daze, and walked down the corridor of his house, stumbling like he was drunk.People outside think that they want wind to get wind and rain to get rain, but they don't know that in their life, their suffering is unspeakable, and their pain is unspeakable.Oh, how ridiculous!

He fell ill the next day, and the illness lasted for another month. When he recovered from his illness and went to Minglan again, everything changed. Minglan returned the gift he gave her, and then became that pair again. The sixth girl who talked sarcasticly by herself.Taking advantage of his illness, his mother asked the nanny to find Minglan, saying that she would never marry her, because she had already signed the marriage proposal of the eldest daughter of the Qing Dynasty in Guanglu Temple, and hoped that Minglan would stay away from him in the future.He hated his own uselessness and complained about his own incompetence, but the ending has already been decided, and maybe he can't change it in this life.

After recovering from her illness, her mother went to find him and talked about his marriage, "I tell you, if you want to marry Sheng Minglan, it's just a dream. What is your status, and what is her status, is she worthy of you? "He was tired of hearing all this, and he couldn't control it, he only knew that he and Minglan were in love with each other, and it was his mother who forcibly separated them and found him a frail and sick wife. He had a lot of complaints about his mother in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it to his mother, he could only yell a few words in his heart.

Princess Pingning found such a pleasing daughter-in-law with great difficulty. Although the daughters of County Princess Jiacheng and Uncle Fu fell in love with her son at first sight, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Guanglu Temple was protected by Princess Chu. If you are a matchmaker, the emperor will issue an imperial decree to bestow marriage, and King Yong is only a mere county king, and Uncle Fuchang is just relying on having a favorite concubine and sister. Where is the only prince in Kyoto——Prince Chu? "The eldest daughter of Guanglu Siqing's family background is neither high nor low. Her grandfather is also a grand scholar of the court of the three dynasties. In addition, Princess Chu personally protects the matchmaker. I believe that this is a daughter-in-law. You have to marry her." If you don’t marry, you have to marry me.”

Qi Heng listened to his mother's rambling, feeling extremely depressed.Princess Pingning didn't care when he saw his impatient look. Now that the marriage certificate has been signed, even if you are a concubine, you can't accept that girl Sheng Minglan. It's only been a few days in this state, so you forget it when you turn around. "The daughter of the Cheng family has not reached the age of ji, Princess Chu said that the emperor will give her a marriage after her ji ji ceremony in March next year. I discussed it with your father and asked the abbot of the Guangyun Temple to settle the matter. Next year The fifth day of November is a good day to get married, but there is only one year left, so you should think about it." After saying this, Princess Pingning left in peace.Qi Heng watched his mother step out of the hospital and disappear around the corner, he finally felt able to breathe, the cramped feeling was really unbearable, he straightened himself up and went to the study.The study room is his own small world, where all his secrets are kept, and only here can he feel relaxed.

The news that Cheng's family accepted the marriage of Duke Qi's mansion quickly spread among the aristocratic circles in the capital. She is weak and sick, and it has become more serious since her mother left. The Diange Dashifu donated many precious medicinal materials bestowed by the emperor every year to hang her for life; Er'er has already been spread in the circle of noble girls. The two of them are together. I don't know if the Cheng family is crazy. For the sake of power, they rush to send their daughter to the Hou Men for training.

Regarding this marriage, most of them are jokes, and of course there are also those who are regretful and angry. Among them, the princess of Jiacheng county is the most annoyed. Originally, the princess of Pingning county told her to marry into the country as her. The mansion is completely fine, but Cheng Shangzhi, who is nothing, popped up out of nowhere and took all of her away. The Jiacheng county lord can't find Cheng's family now, and there is nowhere to spread the fire. Everyone stays away from her when they see this , so as not to be affected.Su Chanli, the prostitute's daughter-in-law of the Ministry of Justice, sees all this, and thinks that all the noble ladies in the capital are short-sighted, they only know how to read Lao Shizi's jokes, but they don't know how to know more about the turbulent situation in the court.

Su Ya, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, returned home with a sad face, Su Chanli asked why, and Su Ya sighed.It turns out that today the imperial censor impeached Guanglu Siqing and Diange University scholar, saying that these two people were thinking of forming a clique for personal gain, and they were suspected of treason. The Shifu made a fuss about the precious medicinal materials sent by the Chengfu every year, saying that they did not respect His Majesty, and used this to pass on information privately, forming a party for personal gain. .

After hearing this, Su Chanli chuckled, and Su Ya was very sad, "Wei's father is so troubled here, you still have the nerve to make fun of him." Su Chanli didn't care about his father's joke, "Father misunderstood, I You are laughing at the stupid censor. He dares to impeach the person the Prince of Chu wants to protect. I know what my father is worried about. You are just worried that the situation of the court will change suddenly and the situation will be precarious. Don’t worry, father, the status of the Chu king’s descendants is unshakable. You have a son who is very close friends with him, Shu brother is not worried, you have nothing to worry about."

Su Chanli returned to the room, thinking of what her father said about today, she had to admire Cheng Shangzhi's foresight, and learned from the news obtained by Zhao Qianzheng that Cheng Shangzhi was indeed weak and needed to rely on precious medicinal materials to maintain his health, but he would not die. life like that.The Cheng family has been keeping a low profile since entering Beijing, and the women in the family have not participated in any banquets since the late wife left, so the noble ladies in Beijing know very little about him and can only know about it through rumors.But today's impeachment was actually expected by Cheng Shangzhi, and he just took this opportunity to uncover dissidents for the Chu Palace.As early as the first time when Diange University Scholars' Mansion sent medicine, Cheng Shangzhi closed the door and only let Diange University Scholars enter the palace first to get His Majesty's consent before sending medicines. Since then, the emperor has given Diange University Scholars' Mansion In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, there are many more precious medicinal materials. In other words, those medicinal materials were just given to Cheng Shangzhi by the emperor in a different way, and have nothing to do with the Diange Dashifu.

Early the next morning, Su Chanli got an invitation from Cheng Shangzhi from his concubine brother - Qilixiang Restaurant at noon. "I came back late yesterday. You rested at that time, so I didn't bother you." Brother Shu is good friends with Cheng Shanglu and Zhao Qianzheng, and it should be Cheng Shanglu who conveyed the message for his sister yesterday.

"Are you the one that Brother Xingzhi wants to marry? Well, you are indeed prettier than Big Sister." As soon as Su Chanli entered the box and just sat down, such words came beside her, making her confused, and Cheng Wantong who spoke was still watching Su Chanli carefully.

Cheng Shangzhi gave her a white look, "Miss Su, don't mind, my sister is just jealous that you can marry Xingzhi." Su Chanli was taken aback, "Yes?" Cheng Shangzhi slapped his forehead, "I forgot you don't know yet, Chu Wang Shisun, Zhao Qianzheng, the word Xingzhi. At the beginning, my second sister pestered Xingzhi, and Xingzhi said that she already had a sweetheart, which was very sweet. She pestered her brother to find out, and then pestered me to ask you out for a meeting Yes, don't worry, she has no malicious intentions, she just wants to meet you." Su Chanli lowered her head shyly when she heard that Zhao Qianzheng was going to marry her.Cheng Shang Lu was talking to Su Chanli about interesting things about Zhao Qianzheng, and he pushed the door open, "Hey! It's so lively, what are you talking about?"

Cheng Wantong liked Su Chanli very much after meeting Su Chanli, but now she has a lot of complaints about the descendants of the King of Chu, "Huh, what has it to do with you, this is the box for our girls to meet guests, my elder brother is opposite, you are afraid of the descendants of the King of Chu?" It must be the wrong way." Zhao Qianzheng knew that Cheng Wantong was doing it on purpose, but now she had Cheng Shangzhi by her side, and she couldn't do anything about it for the time being, so he had to pretend to be angry, flung his sleeves and left to go to the opposite side.Cheng Qumai and Cheng Shanqi looked at them and secretly laughed. They had been bullied by Zhao Qianzheng since they were young. Although their elder sister helped them get it back in the end, they were still happy to see Zhao Qianzheng deflated.

Su Chanli looked at Cheng Wantong in surprise, "I didn't expect Second Miss Cheng to be so interesting." Cheng Wantong curled her lips when she heard the sisters' sniggering, "Hmph, enjoy yourself, I'll go out by myself." Said Then he opened the door and went out. Cheng Shanqi and Cheng Qumai looked at Cheng Shangzhi expectantly upon hearing the words, and when they saw Cheng Shangzhi nod, they caught up with them holding their skirts.Suddenly, the private room was extremely quiet, Cheng Shangzhi took a sip of tea, "Come out, Wantong is gone." Su Chanli watched the cabinet against the wall behind Cheng Shangzhi being opened, and Zhao Qianzheng came out, behind her were her concubine brother and A man I don't know should be Cheng Shangzhi's brother Cheng Shanglu.

Cheng Shangzhi put down his teacup, "The Qilixiang Restaurant is a joint venture between the three of them. The two wing rooms on the top floor are specially reserved for the opposite side in order not to be discovered. From the secret passage in the opposite room, you can go directly to the backyard. Come here again in the backyard." Su Chanli nodded, watching Zhao Qianzheng lower his head shyly.Zhao Qianzheng took advantage of the opportunity and sat next to Su Chanli, and casually chatted about Cheng Shangzhi's marriage, "If you really want to marry that young man of the Qi family, you won't be afraid of being a widow if you marry."

As soon as Zhao Qianzheng finished speaking, Cheng Shangzhi splashed water on his face, "If you have time to ask, why don't you ask your grandmother to help me push it, just say you want to marry me." Zhao Qianzheng jumped up in anger, "You splashed me It's fine if I'm full of water, I talk too much, it's my fault, but you let me go to your grandmother to push back your marriage, then you really hate me." Cheng Shangzhi still looked like he had nothing to do with him, " Then why do you say this, I didn't force you to be mean." This verbal battle ended in Zhao Xingzhi's disastrous defeat again.

The restaurant here is in dire straits, and the three sisters of the Cheng family are not feeling well. Originally, they found a jewelry store to look at the jewelry, but when they stepped through the door, they heard someone mentioning the elder sister's marriage. I met during hunting: one is King Yong's daughter Jiacheng county head, the other is Sheng Molan, the fourth lady of the Sheng family, and the other is Shen Shulan, the very favored concubine daughter of the prime minister's family.The three of them were talking while picking out jewelry, "Jiacheng, don't take that girl from the Cheng family seriously, she is unlucky, and that sick child will go away after just a few days of training, maybe she will be there soon." Princess Shi Pingning is rushing to find you." The one who spoke was Shen Shulan, who was spoiled beyond words, while Sheng Molan echoed her.

Cheng Wantong was about to go up to teach the gossip woman a lesson, when Cheng Qumai directly grabbed her, "This is outside, don't cause trouble for big sister, she is already on the cusp of the storm, what are you doing in Duke Qi's mansion?" See? When you are away from home, you are not representing yourself, but the whole Cheng family. Where have all the knowledge that the elder sister has brought us to travel and gain all these years gone?" Cheng Qumai stared at the three of them fiercely, turned around angrily The three people in the store left directly, seeing someone walking to the door and leaving before entering, they just felt baffled, glanced at it and continued to pick out jewelry.
