After the big fool gets married

After the imperial guards commanded the crowd on both sides to retreat, there was movement from the city gate.

Doudou wanted to take off the cloak hat, but Wu Xuan pressed his hand, covering him even more tightly, only showing a pair of eyes.

The first to enter was a group of cavalry, also wearing the costumes of the Praetorian Guards, but instead of holding spears in their hands, they were equipped with waist knives, bows and arrows.

Behind is a group of walking guards, guarding the emperor Luanjia in the middle. The Luanjia is a closed carriage, majestic and solemn, and nothing can be seen from the outside.

Luan drove right behind, followed by a carriage that was very gorgeous—er—so gorgeous that it had a hint of frivolity.

The entire compartment is green in layers of deep and shallow, with gold thread hooks and pearls and jade decorations, and a layer of light green gauze fluttering on the outer layer.It's clearly the middle of winter, but people can see the feeling of spring sprouting.

The onlookers were all stunned by the carriage.

Doudou leaned close to Wu Xuan's ear, "Brother Xuan, this carriage is so beautiful." Brother Xuan never let him use green fabrics, bed curtains for clothes, hats, and said he couldn't wear green on his head.But green is really nice.

"It's so green, how beautiful it is." Wu Xuan complained.

Doudou watched the carriage go away, still reluctant to look away, "Brother Xuan, can you really not use green to make clothes?"

"It's not pretty." Wu Xuan said.

Doudou turned her head and looked at him pitifully, "But I think it's very pretty. I want to make some green clothes for the spring after the year."

"Okay." Wu Xuan couldn't stand his gaze the most, so he had to take a step back, "It's okay to make clothes, but hats and hairbands are not allowed, and clothes with hats, such as capes, are not allowed."

"Okay." Doudou responded with a gulp.The spring shirt is light and thin, so there is no need for a hat.

The gorgeous green carriage had gone away, and the crowd of onlookers also recovered from their shock and began to discuss.

"Look at this posture, His Majesty is really in the Luanjia?"

"It's a pity that the two carriages were tightly covered, and I didn't even see a person."

"The carriage in the back is a bit—"

"Did you see just now that there is a guard next to the green carriage. He is very tall and looks like a foreigner."

"I saw it. He looks very white, and his eyeballs look like green. I don't know if they are really green or they are lined by the carriage next to him."

The guards behind the carriage also walked away, and the imperial guards who stopped Wu Xuan in front of them also put away their spears, waiting for the command of their superiors.

The middle-aged man who was beaten to the head just now suddenly gained courage, covered his head and still shouted: "Sure enough, it's still the way it was back then! Extravagant! Frivolous!"

After yelling, seeing that the imperial guards did not stop him, he said loudly: "I know that the hero who opened up the territory has returned, but I don't know, I thought it was some brothel and Huakui who came out of the street!"

"Let go!" An order came from the city gate tower.

The two imperial guards in front of Wu Xuan stepped aside, indicating that he could leave.Wu Xuan gently pulled the rein, and the horse veered slightly to the right, and "accidentally" bumped its head against the middle-aged man who was jumping up and down and cursing others.

Before the nurse next to the man came back to his senses, Wu Xuan had already driven the carriage to the middle of the main road. The horse started to run and quickly left the street.

When we arrived at Wanbao Hutong, Wu Xuan didn't go through the main entrance, but walked around to the alley on the east side, and entered through the east side door.

This is the inconvenience of buying a big house.The house is too big, and it takes a long time to walk through the main entrance to reach the courtyard where they live.It was freezing cold, Wu Xuan didn't dare to let Doudou walk in the heavy snow.

Fortunately, there is only a guest courtyard between the east side door and the courtyard where they live, which is just enough to put the carriage inside.

The luggage was all in Yu Peili, so it was enough to put it out and tidy it up. Wu Xuan went to the kitchen to boil hot water, carried it to the bathroom and let Doudou take a bath first.

All the rooms in this courtyard have been remodeled, and a layer of earth dragons has been added on the ground, which is as warm as the kang in the village.

When the hot water was heated, the earth dragon was already hot. The bathroom room is not big, and it is steaming inside, so it will not catch cold when taking a bath.

After the two of them cleaned up, they changed into their home clothes.

As dusk approached, Wu Xuan took out the food he had bought at Liao Ji before leaving, and asked Doudou to have dinner.

Doudou lay on the desk without raising her head, "Brother Xuan, you eat first, I will finish drawing this suit first."

"It has been raised so well during this time that you don't even want to eat Liao Ji's crispy cheese?" Wu Xuan took the plate out of the food box and placed it on the table, "If this is the case, then continue to eat it from tomorrow. My craftsmanship. Speaking of which, the porridge I cook is better than before—"

"Brother Xuan——" Doudou threw down the brush and ran to the dining table, "Brother Xuan, let's eat first, and then paint after eating."

It seems that the deterrent effect of Wu Xuan's craftsmanship is indeed quite great.

The next day, Wu Xuan drove the carriage to the shop on Fengning Street.

In just a few days, the shop has been tidied up in a decent way.Wu Xuan left the carriage and several boxes of New Year's goods in the carriage to Wu Wenshou.

Wu Xuan told him, "If you go to my house, remember to go through the east side door. If you go through the main door, you have to scream until I hear you."

Wu Wenshou laughed out loud.

After coming out of the shop, Wu Xuan planned to go to Wuyan Pavilion to buy a few chapters for Doudou.

Perhaps because the New Year's Eve is approaching, even places like Wuyan Pavilion are no longer as quiet as they used to be, and have become noisy.

Not only because of the fact that His Majesty personally welcomed Yuan Yueque yesterday, but also because of the news that just came out early this morning.

"His Majesty restored the title of the Yuan family and bestowed a bronze seal representing the prince."

"It is said that His Majesty originally wanted to confer the Duke of Yuan Yueque, but he himself refused, and only asked to restore his ancestor's title of Marquis of Wu'an."

"This is a smart approach. Taking a step back from the title, His Majesty will definitely give him more favorable treatment in other respects."

"It turns out that all the properties of the house under the Yuan family's name have been returned, and more than doubled."

"If Yuan Ge could see today's scene, I don't know how gratified he would be."

"Hey, Yuan Yueque was back then, oh, no, it was Marquis Wu'an. Marquis Wu'an was really disappointing back then. He was the only one in his generation who couldn't even memorize the "Spring and Autumn" and was kicked out of the Imperial College. Everyone in the capital knows it."

The bookshelves here are full of anthologies by famous writers, and Doudou will definitely not be able to read them.Wu Xuan walked directly through the middle of the bookshelf, searching for the place where the scriptures were placed.

Two scholars walked towards each other, also talking about Yuan Yueque.

"Marquis Wu'an's fleet docked at Yugu Wharf. There are ten large ships and nearly a hundred small boats. Those that cover the sky and the sun can't see the end."

"Come back from the sea? Why didn't you go through the east gate?"

"It is said that he left the capital through the South City Gate, so now he has to come back through the South City Gate."

Wu Xuan brushed past them and continued walking forward.The Wuyan Pavilion in the capital is too big, he only came twice, bought a book in a hurry and left, so he is not very clear about the placement of other books.

After another two rows of bookshelves, Wu Xuan saw a bookstore boy arranging books. Wu Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to ask, and found the script in the direction he pointed.

Wu Xuan flipped through it briefly, took one of the dozen or so new books that were released recently, and went to the counter to check out.

After paying the money, Wu Xuan handed him a post from Gu Jin, "Please send it to Gu's residence."

The shopkeeper hurriedly took it over, "My little eyesight, I didn't recognize you as my young master's friend, so I'm neglecting you!"

"It's okay." Wu Xuan put the book in his arms and went out.

He asked Gu Jin and Tan Yan to come to his house for dinner, and he wondered if those two would have time.

-

When Marquis Wu'an came back, he presented to His Majesty the evidence of many evil deeds such as the private raising of troops by Mr. Feng Ge and the Feng clan, the private running of salt farms, the banning of salt workers, and the murder of human life.

His Majesty handed over the case to Du Ru, the second assistant of the cabinet, Gu Pu, the minister of the Ministry of officials, and Xing Miao, the head of the Overwatch Council, for a joint trial.

Gu Jin was also busy for more than ten days. It was not until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month that she finally found time to come to Wu Xuan's house with Tan Yan.

As usual, Wu Xuan served a hot hot pot to entertain the two distinguished guests, and at the same time inquired about the news of the court.

Gu Jin didn't shy away from it, and directly narrated the case of Mr. Feng Ge in detail, "Feng Zhenchang has already been sentenced to death, and Mr. Feng Ge has tried so hard to get it out, but it is in vain. Especially, Mr. Yan Ge no longer cares about the case. It's over, and Elder Du Ge temporarily compromised with His Majesty in order to protect himself."

"Elder Feng Ge is isolated and helpless, and with his old enemy, Marquis Wu'an, he has no other choice but to die." Gu Jin took a sip of sour plum juice, "Of course, he should have committed so many crimes a long time ago." to die."

"By the way, let's talk about Marquis Wu'an." Gu Jin put down his glass, "I sent more than a dozen posts to Marquis Wu'an, but all of them were returned."

Wu Xuan gossiped: "You guys don't have a good relationship?" The Yuan family and the Gu family are both reformists, and according to what Gu Jin said before, the two families should be family friends, so why don't they even accept a single post?

Gu Jin pretended to sigh, "Originally, my grandfather and Mr. Yuan Ge had a very good relationship, and the two families did come and go frequently. But my father is more than ten years older than Marquis Wu An, and the two have very different personalities. , the relationship is more ordinary. Moreover, there were some misunderstandings 20 years ago—”

Gu Jin didn't say what the misunderstanding was.But judging by his expression, this misunderstanding should not be small.

Wu Xuan didn't ask any further questions, and went to the kitchen to get another pot of sour plum juice.

Tan Yan took a big gulp and praised: "Brother Wenxuan is really good at cooking, even the drinks he made are so delicious."

Wu Xuan cheekily didn't refute, but said: "I'll write you the recipe, and you can make it yourself at home."

"Thank you!" Tan Yan also accepted it cheekily.Because, it's really delicious!

-

After dinner, Wu Xuan took out a set of jewelry made by Ji Changfeng and said, "Brother Tan said last time that he wanted to find a set of gorgeous jewelry—"

When the box was opened, the huge ruby ​​reflected the splendor of the room. Even Tan Yan, who was used to seeing good things, was taken aback by the flash, "Such a big ruby! Nothing that His Majesty rewarded like this—"

Gu Jin covered his mouth, "Don't talk about Your Majesty."

"You obviously talked about His Majesty just now." Tan Yan murmured dissatisfiedly, but obediently did not say any more.After all, Gu Jin was talking about court affairs, but what he was talking about involved the harem.

Tan Yan picked up the hairpin in the middle and carefully examined the gems on it, "Brother Wenxuan, such a big ruby ​​is so rare. Where did you buy it? How much money did you spend? I'll buy yours at a higher price!"

Wu Xuan said: "It is counted as a gift from me to Brother Tan. If I pass the Jinshi examination in the next year, I will still rely on Brother Tan and Brother Gu to take care of me when I send officials."
