Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Lone Star Nashuangmei

Qiao Wan immediately knelt down, but he heard Jinxiu say: "Duke Yongding has admired a beautiful woman for a long time, but he is afraid of abrupt beauty, so he entrusts his ministers and concubines to ask His Majesty for orders." As if he had discovered a new continent, the emperor said in a little astonishment: "Today, the sun has come out to the west, and even Qiao Qing has a woman he likes. Sure enough, the world is peaceful, do you all want a beautiful woman?" Everyone burst into laughter. The emperor smiled and took a sip of his wine, "My concubine, tell me quickly, I will definitely help Qiao Qing marry a good woman early."

"It's King Jin's right-hand man, Lord Qing of Dongying Mansion, Miss Qingmei." As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Qingmei was standing beside me, pouring wine for me to calm my surprise, when she heard Jinxiu mentioning her name, she quickly raised her head to look at Feibai, passed my wine glass into my hand calmly, and stepped back behind me . The emperor thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Qing Mei has repeatedly thwarted the rebellious schemes of the rebels, rescued the two royal families many times, and made many military exploits for the Yuan family; Qiao Qing is a hero of the Northern Expedition and the head of the inner guard, so she is indeed a good match. I don't know if King Jin is willing to entrust his love general to Qiao Qing."

Feibai smiled and said: "Duke Yongding saved the lives of his sons and ministers, and he is also the head of the inner guard. The people in front of the father and the emperor and concubine are naturally the best choice. It's just that although King Qing is not serving on the front line, he will embarrass her. My son's backyard is well protected, so my son would like to hear what she thinks." The emperor also nodded and said: "King Qing is different from other maidservants, and she should marry to her satisfaction." Then Xuan Qingmei went to the middle hall, and Qingmei basically took the same route as Feibai, saying that her status was humble, and she was afraid of insulting the status of Duke Yongding, but she added a sentence loudly at the end, "Humble duty has its own place, But please do it, Your Majesty.”

The emperor really became interested, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, Qing Mei has grown up too, and I don't know which prince it is, I'll see how you look, if it's good, let me just let Yongding Gong down, and make decisions for you first Bar." Qingmei Xie En, pointed to a handsome figure standing behind me, "It's Ziwei Sheren Jun's family, Qi Fang, styled Zhongshu, and currently holds the post of purchasing manager in the household department." My jaw dropped, I turned my head to look at Qi Fang, and thought to myself: When did the two people who usually met with cynicism, blowing their beards and staring at each other become so emotional?But when he saw the handsome guy from Wannian Bingshan Qi Fang, his face turned red all of a sudden, he was full of astonishment.

The emperor recognized Qi Fang, and during the Qixi Festival night tour, and boarding a boat to test the water, he always led Qi Fang to drive him, and he seemed to have a good impression of Qi Fang.It seems that handsome guys are always popular among the Yuan family. The emperor once had a cordial chat with Qi Fang, exchanged a few poems, and then seemed to have discovered a new world. A talent who is calm in every way and has both civil and military skills is very cherished, and he probably wanted to poach me at one time—because Xiao Fang came back to me, Shen Changzong invited him to a banquet at the mansion, and he clearly wanted to win him over.Of course, Xiao Fang was unmoved and pushed over skillfully.Later, after hearing Shi Qingpei say a few words, the emperor was very sorry that such a top scholar finally obeyed a woman. Of course, he mentioned later that it was a good thing that this woman belonged to the Yuan family, so that's fine.

As soon as the emperor heard Qi Fang's name, he cast his sharp eyes on Qi Fang who was behind me, and sighed: "King Qing is really good at picking people. In this selection, he will choose a husband who can make money by singing." Everyone laughed, and Qiao Wan's face sank. The emperor stepped down from the throne, and the empress thoughtfully put on the sable cloak for the emperor. The emperor smiled and waved to her, telling her to sit down.Jinxiu took a quick look, her long eyelashes flickered slightly, her slender and dazzling armor picked up the luminous cup, her vermilion lips took a sip of the imperial nine-brewed grape spring, and said in a graceful voice: "As the saying goes, a hero is saddened by a beauty. The shopkeeper, did you fall into the queen of my Qing King? You are too good at business."

Everyone held their voices and held their breath, and only looked at the imperial concubine and the emperor.Qi Fang wanted to defend himself, Feibai seemed unwilling to let go of any opportunity to be a matchmaker today, he had already stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Guanggui Concubine Mingjian. Coincidentally, Zhongshu had a matchmaker two or three years ago. My confidante, Mrs. Bu, is also my wife's maidservant, the so-called good things come in pairs, and Zhongshu happens to have a surname of Qi, so why is it that the father and the emperor ordered two girls to marry together and get married together?

The emperor walked up to Feibai, Feibai bowed immediately, but his face showed no fear, the emperor's phoenix eyes sized Feibai up, patted Feibai's shoulder lightly, and said with a faint smile: "It's still King Jin's thoughtful thinking, it really is a waste of time. His wife does not go to court. A meritorious minister like Qi Zhongshu deserves to enjoy the blessings of Qi people." When everyone heard it, they hurriedly applauded. "It's also a coincidence that the queen mentioned last time that Mrs. Suiyuan and Mrs. Yongfu Hou also want to find a good family for their daughter. If so, let's have a happy family!" The queen said gracefully. Nodding his head, the hairpin on the cloud temple was dancing and jumping, the golden light was shining, and no one dared to look at it closely.The emperor waved his hand slightly, and Yue Tang, a member of Zhongshushe, brought a pen and ink. Everyone bowed down again, but the emperor read: "Give Yongding Gong's younger sister, Qiao Shi, a marriage with Dongxian King as the successor princess. First-class Suiyuan Duke , Chang Zaidao’s daughter, Chang’s Guilin, was married to Yongding Gong. The first-class Yongfuhou, the right deputy inspector Yuan Hede’s daughter Yuan Danzhu, was married to Qinzhonghou. Qi Zhongshu, the fifth-rank householder, Diligence, conscientiousness, very much in line with my heart, I bestow upon him a third-class man from the founding county of Jue, who is very diligent and prudent, with three hundred households in the township, married with a fourth-rank guard with a sword, Dongying Mansion Lord Qing, and the concubine of Jin's maidservant, Bu Shi."

We were all taken aback when we heard that, Duke Suiyuan and Marquis Yongfu were also present, their expressions changed. This is an era when heroes are born in troubled times, but they are extremely superstitious about the theory of family status and aristocratic families. When making friends and getting married, the right family is the first priority.The emperor pointed out that these two families are all princely and noble families of the third rank and above in the current dynasty, and are deeply favored by the emperor, especially the inspector censor Yuan Hede. Not attached to the kings, often bluntly impeaching the nobles, but today she refers to marriage but thinks otherwise - her daughter Yuan Danzhu is average in appearance and reputation, she is not well-known among noble women, she has a gentle personality, and the original Hede is the only one She loved her like a treasure, and was often worried that her honest daughter would be bullied when she got married. She chose left and right, and delayed until Yuan Danzhu was eighteen, which was a bit like a little leftover girl in that era.He originally thought that although his beloved daughter should be married to a warrior from a concubine's family, she is the emperor's official wife, and Xie Suhui has made great achievements in military affairs and has been awarded a title. The meaning of support can barely be regarded as the new rich of the Yuan family, and the money is boundless.Jin Wang's family is also famous for being courteous and virtuous corporals, tolerant and tolerant, thinking that they will not suffer, so they can't help but slowly show joy.Next, he seemed to think that he was forced to choose a side at this time, but the imperial concubine Jin and King Dongxian couldn't get along well, and he seemed to feel sad again.

Another Duke of Suiyuan, Chang Zaidao, belongs to the family of the Marquis. His ancestors used to serve as political advisors for the Xuanyuan family. Unfortunately, his family was in decline. In this branch, only Chang Zaidao became the minister of the imperial servant temple, serving the emperor in and out, and in charge of the country's vehicles. Ma, although committed himself to the center of the powerful, has no real power, so he blindly flatters and clings to the powerful, but no one cares about them among the powerful. He has two sons and a daughter. She has a charming daughter who is as famous as Qiao Qianchan, and she is the most beautiful girl among all the noble girls who are waiting to be married, but she is famous for being devoted to Ningkang County King.His mother, Mrs. Suiyuan, also often asks for marriage proposals in front of the queen and Jinhuang noble concubine, even if she is a concubine of the side county, she would not regret it. She never wants to be pointed out by the emperor today to Qiao Wan.Although Qiao Wan has a high title, he is a notorious dark man in the Xiying Mansion from the Yuan family, and he is also a servant of the imperial concubine.The imperial concubine is famous for her ruthless means, and this Qiao Wan ran back and forth for the imperial concubine when he was not out to fight. Half of the officials in this court have suffered from him. He is a famous rough and cruel general. Fear and fear of him, many people cling to him.With such a noble son-in-law, but I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, so I have hidden worries.

I forcibly pressed down Qi Fang's hand and told him to think long-term, Qi Fang had no choice but to endure it.Fei Bai Qifang nodded slightly, and pulled him, Qingmei, and Suhui to thank him, "Thank you Lord Long En, I am very pleased." "Your Majesty is really partial to King Jin." Jin Xiu pouted slightly, "Look, this time I didn't get a single person from his West Maple Garden, on the contrary, I got three new wives." "You monkey is right, this time I am really partial to the third child," the emperor laughed, and admitted loudly: "The king of Jin has made great achievements this time, but he has not forgotten his family and country. All the belongings were handed back. Besides, didn’t Aifei just worry about Mu Jin’s illness? I see that there are still a lot of people serving in his Xifeng Garden, so don’t we have to send more beauties to Xifeng Garden? Shi Qingpei, send Dou Ni The palace selected a beautiful and healthy person to fill in Xifengyuan, adding more joy. Mujin will get better soon, take the lead and let King Qing and the others spread branches and leaves for Xifengyuan, adding more talents OK." Everyone also laughed.With a hint of embarrassment on my face, I bowed down to thank you.Xie Suhui and Qiao Wan also kowtowed to thank each other, and met with the future Lao Taishan in front of all the ministers.Qiao Wan forced a smile, and bowed to Chang. Seeing Yuan He De from this side, Su Hui was very polite.Yuan Hede looked at Su Hui carefully for a long time, and Su Hui's face was red and black, black and red.The emperor made fun of a few more words, and everyone laughed even more, standing up to congratulate the four couples.Jinxiu ordered the dancers and music in the palace hall again, and everyone pushed cups and exchanged cups, toasting and staggering, creating a sense of prosperity and happiness. On the way back, Feibai smelled of alcohol all over his body, so he was afraid of getting me drunk, so he rode a horse for a while, and got into the car when he was almost at the mansion, so I talked about it with Feibai.Fei Bai snorted softly, "I've heard people report that the imperial concubine wanted to praise him. He used to be a lowly slave in the Western Mansion, so naturally he didn't dare to ask for the daughter of the Marquis of the court. Now the person who dares to ask for me is because he wants to marry King Qing." He was born as a commoner, so he is more than enough to match him. In the future, when the king of Hanzhong ascends the throne, it will be easy to incorporate the Dongying Mansion. It is a pity that the imperial concubine chose the wrong person. Although the soldiers of the Dongying Mansion and Xiying Mansion are lowly, the two Yuan clans are at stake. Therefore, their superiors must be members of the Yuan clan, even Song Minglei has become a nobleman of our Yuan clan before he can lead the Xiying Mansion," he sneered, "Then Qiao Wan was born as a commoner after all, even if he has military merits Even if he is alive, his father also looks down on him." Speaking of people from the Yingfu, Feibai spoke contemptuously, and the arrogance of the gentry was self-evident. In fact, my background is not very high.Seeing me glance at him, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, why hasn't the habit of thinking about it changed at all?" "Then, may I ask His Highness King Jin, why did your family's Qingmei choose my family's Xiaofang?" I wondered, "Everyone in Xifengyuan knows that Qi Fang is an honest child, and there is something hidden in his heart. Bu Xiangning." Feibai chuckled, "What about your family and mine? I still want to ask Mr. Boss Jun, when did your master and servant fall in love with our master and servant?" "Who has taken a fancy to you master and servant?" I couldn't help but twist my mouth and punched him. He received my fist with a smile, took me into his arms, hugged me tightly, and said in a low voice: "I was busy looking for you on Zhuque Street just now, but the Holy One didn't even let me go home, so I just let you go." Please go to the execution ground to see Dou Thief's death. You have been sullen, and I am always worried that others will bully you, and now you are smiling at me." There was a burst of tenderness in my heart, and I hugged him tightly, "I was worried that Dou Yinghua would rob him in the execution ground, and what would happen to you when he got involved, so I kept hanging on my heart. Finally, Dou Yinghua was hanged, As a result, Jinxiu is trying to find a concubine for her brother-in-law before her butt is warmed up, so she won't worry about me." Feeling a little sad in her heart, she was touched by what he said just now, and buried her head in Feibai's arms, unable to help His clothes were wet with tears, "Once the sea was too difficult for water, except Wushan is not a cloud. The words you just said will last a lifetime." "If you understand the meaning of 'weak water three thousand', you should know my heart," Fei Bai sighed, cupping my face with his hands, looking into my eyes with his phoenix eyes, his words were distressed, and he said angrily: "I am I crawled back from the pile of dead people because of you, and now we are together with great difficulty, what else can I say is not counted, why don't you believe me. " "I'm just... just..." I also put my hands on his face, but I also kept expecting "just" endlessly, and finally I was caught by tears and coughed for a long time. "Bring water quickly." Feibai called to the outside of the curtain. The car did stop.Xiaoyu brought a jade-encrusted pot, poured a small cup and handed it over, Fei Bai carefully fed me to drink, calmed down his cough, and coaxed softly: "Don't worry, if I don't count on what I say, I will turn it into a cup immediately." Big tortoise, I will turn its shell over for you every day, and play with it for the rest of my life, that would be great." The few maidservants who came close all suppressed their smiles when they heard this.I laughed too, only to choke again. Fortunately, the gate of Xifengyuan was also at the gate, so Feibai hurriedly stopped the car.Weiwei and Xiaoyu helped me out, laying a silk handkerchief and a kettle on the ground.I was so excited that a few strands of blood spit out onto the handkerchief. Feibai turned pale with shock, and said angrily, "You were seriously ill but you didn't let me know about this matter. I haven't settled the score with you yet." He carried me all the way into Xifengyuan, put me on the bed in the Xinxin Pavilion, and was going to find Lin Biyan, but I hugged him desperately and refused to let him go, crying: "Don't go, I will never be separated from you again gone." There was a strange brilliance in Feibai's phoenix eyes, his expression softened, he stroked my cheek lightly, and sighed softly: "The more you live, the more stupid you are, what should I do?" I also feel that as long as I am by his side, I will live more and more stupidly.But he gently took off the chignon on my head himself, changed into a lotus-patterned home-made satin dress, asked Xiehua to twist a handful of hot towels, wiped my face himself, and then took off the purple-gold crown by himself. , changed into a homely robe, lay down next to me, hugged me tightly, and said softly: "Don't worry, the world is peaceful, I will never leave you again." Neither of us spoke, we just hugged each other quietly for warmth.Gradually, I became sleepy. I dreamed that the copper Shura opened his blood-red eyes to me and snarled at me. Then I woke up, but outside the hibiscus tent, a lamp was warm and dim.I slightly lifted the curtain, went down to the ground quietly, and approached them, only to see Feibai was wearing a shirt, discussing something seriously with Mr. Han, and there was a person kneeling on the ground with a stubborn and charming face. Seeing me standing outside the curtain, Fei Bai told them to go back first. Feibai carried me to the bed again, wrapped me in a pile of quilts, and said angrily, "You don't love yourself any more, your body is already weak, and you still stand in the wind with bare feet like this." I pulled him back and asked softly, "But the holy decree is that Qingmei should get married as soon as possible." Feibai nodded, and said helplessly: "Now I have no choice but to ask Boss Jun for a favor." Feng Mu looked at me, "May I let Xiang Ning and Qing Mei marry together, regardless of size. " I looked at him blankly. He sighed: "I owe this to Qingmei. Qingmei's father was the last head of the Dongying Mansion. His single name was a single letter, and his nickname was Qinghu. He was extremely loyal and brave," Fei Bai hugged across a pile of quilts He put it on the big bed, went back to the desk and returned with a painting.The painting was a bit worn out, and it showed a big green fox with its tail curled up, sleeping on a big bluestone, and the signature was Qinghu, the 16th generation master of Dongying Mansion. He quietly recounted the past, "During the time in the dark palace, most of the doormen left without saying anything, and people from Xiying also came to persuade them to surrender. Some dark people went to Xiying to save their lives. Thanks to the Qinghu family, who are full of loyalty, She consistently guarded me and killed the dark man who surrendered for me. For this, she offended the nobleman of Xiying, and was later captured by Song Minglei. Song Minglei ordered the traitors in Dongying to beat her father and brother Ling Chi with a clear heart awl. They were executed, and the family members, young and old, were not spared, not even dogs or chickens were left behind. They were all executed by burning at the stake. Only the youngest, Qingmei, escaped by hiding in a water tank. She was sensible overnight, and then executed Betrayers only use their hearts and minds." I listened in a daze, and finally understood why Qingmei liked to hear Ming Xinzhui's voice so much. "In order to save me, she committed herself to Zhang Zhiyan," I said softly, "I only have guilt towards her in my heart. But this is related to Xiao Fang's lifelong happiness, unless you promise me that Xiao Fang will just Marry Qingmei in name," I said sternly, "Emotions are the most taboo. This is Xiao Fang's life, I will not kidnap him with my outlook on life, but let them handle everything by themselves. Bu Xiangning, we must not treat her badly." Seeing that my tone was loose, Feibai smiled and hugged me even tighter. Suddenly, his voice turned cold, "Don't worry, I won't let Miss Bu be wronged, and Qingmei doesn't like being strong. She just I said, she will make Xiao Fang fall in love with her." To be honest, I really doubt it. Maybe in order to divert my worries, Feibai said with a smile: "The imperial concubine will worry about herself soon, she will soon have a bunch of sisters serving her husband, and she will be bored for a while, and she won't have the energy to pester us." Uh?I just remembered what he said before I picked me up.Thinking of the many beautiful women in Dou's harem during the parade just now, I thought it was going to make the Holy Majesty happy for a while. I couldn't help but sigh, "It looks like the days after Jinxiu won't be too lonely." Feibai chuckled lightly and didn't answer.I grabbed his big hand and stroked the palm lines carefully, "How could Qingmei fall in love with Xiaofang, the two of them blew their beards and stared as soon as they saw it." He said with a helpless smile: "If a girl doesn't stay, the more she stays, the more she will become enemies. Who knows when she fell in love with Qi Zangfang? Qingmei has such a tight mouth, she has never shown it to me," he thought with a frown After a while, he smiled at me and said, "To be honest, I thought she would ask Suhui to stop her. Originally, I wanted to point out Qingmei to Suhui, but I think they are also good at ordinary times, who knows if they are together? " We chatted for a while, and it was time in a blink of an eye. I yawned, and felt sleepy, so I asked with a smile, "Are you sleepy?" I nod. "Are you really sleepy?" "I've been standing for a whole day, are you not sleepy?" "Are you really sleepy?" My eyelids were twitching, and I hummed softly. I dreamed of Tong Shura again, but I felt Feibai's breath on my ears, "But I'm not sleepy, what should I do?" "Stop making trouble, you are traveling thousands of miles, don't take a rest soon." I said sleepily. "You man, the so-called little girl is better than a newlywed, you don't understand how charming you are at all." He complained softly, suddenly took my earlobe in his mouth, then slowly moved to my collarbone, his big rough hand reached into my pajamas, caresses my groin. I gasped involuntarily.With a wave of Feibai's hand, the candlelight was extinguished and turned into a wisp of green smoke, and the hibiscus curtain fell down, covering the beautiful scenery inside. On February 2nd, the day when the dragon raised its head, thousands of people in Chang'an City flocked to Zhuque Street again to see the marriage of five famous people. On the same day, two generals with the highest military merits married two daughters of aristocratic families.Qiao Wan, Duke of Yongding married a famous beauty in Kyoto, Chang Guilin, the first-class Duke of Suiyuan and the daughter of Chang Zaidao, the third-rank prince servant; Female Yuan Danzhu. Ziwei Sheren bought Qi Zhongshu and married Bu and Qing on the same day. The Xifeng Garden was decorated with lanterns and festoons for a while, and it was full of joy.However, on the second day of their marriage, Bu Xiangning left Qifang under the pretext of taking goods, and returned to Dali in a fit of anger.
