On December 25th, the Shen Mansion in Fengli City was once again decorated with lanterns and decorations, and a team was also formed to welcome the bride, but the scale was smaller.
They also play gongs and drums, and they scatter money along the way to attract happiness.
Anyone who sees this will be a little confused, because this does not seem to be a marriage, but a concubinage battle? Is concubinage also done so openly?
No matter where the customs were in the Jingjiu Dynasty, marrying the first wife was called "ying", and concubines were called "na". The difference between one word represents many meanings, including differential treatment in marriage.
To put it simply, taking a concubine does not require going back to the ancestral temple to report to the ancestors. What this means is very clear.
Therefore, generally speaking, a concubine is carried into the door in a sedan chair. Some families do not even prepare a sedan chair and walk through the door by themselves. Not to mention a banquet. There will be no guests either.
Beat gongs and drums and put on a show of welcoming a bride to take a concubine? This...can't say it doesn't exist, I can only say that most people have never seen it.
Looking again, oh, it's Shen's team, so it's okay.
The people in Fengri City both love and fear Shen Shaxing, the leader of the Black Flag Battalion.
What I love is that this evil star never attacks the common people, and has set up a copper cabinet so that the common people can have a place to redress their grievances, so that they will not have no way to appeal or be suppressed and silenced. From this point of view, Shen Shaxing is a good official.
What I'm afraid of is that this evil star has killed too many people, and the rumors are even more outrageous. It's not an exaggeration to say that it can make young children stop crying.
So, isn’t it normal for such a big shot to make some noise? I heard that Shen Shaxing just married his first wife, and now the concubine is still the Lianxiang singer whom I have heard about for a long time. Forget it, just look at the excitement, who dares to care? Besides, Shen Shaxing is so generous. All the money he spent was broken silver red envelopes. How heroic!
This is true for passers-by, let alone the person involved?
At this moment, Lianxiang felt indescribably sweet in her heart. She originally thought that Shen Hao had just married his first wife and would not marry her in a big way, but it turned out that Shen Hao did not deal with her.
Before dawn, Lianxiang happily got up and put on her makeup. The small courtyard that had been carefully decorated a few days ago was also full of joy. Xia Nu and three other fox girls also came to help the day before, and two female monks who acted as bodyguards were also helping. Although this place is nothing compared to the grandeur of the Yu family, the women in the courtyard are in a very high mood.
When the sound of gongs and drums outside grew closer and closer, Lianxiang hugged her two companions, Xiaoqin and Xiaorong, who had never left her side.
"Are you following me there, or do you have other plans?"
The three of them have a master-servant relationship in name, but in reality they are not. It's just that he was a secret agent of Yueying Tower, disguised as a master and servant.
Now that Lianxiang wants to enter the Shen family, Xiaorong and Xiaoqin do not necessarily need to follow. After all, the three of them are now dead on the list of Yueying Tower, and may even be erased from the list of Lingxiao Palace. To be free, can I change my lifestyle?
"Miss, I plan to go back to my hometown to look around and see if any family members are still there. I haven't decided what to do next."
"I don't have anywhere to go, but I don't want to go to the Shen Mansion. Mr. Shen is very fierce and I don't want to see him. How about I open an embroidery shop? Try doing business?"
Xiaorong and Xiaoqin's answers did not surprise Lianxiang. So he smiled and took out two brocade boxes from the cabinet, and placed one in each other's hands. Then he said: "This is the money I have saved over the years. It is not much, but it is enough for you to worry about this. It is considered as something that my sister gave you before leaving."
Neither of them refused, they accepted the offer.
At the right time in the morning, Lianxiang went to the ceremony with Shen Hao in the small courtyard of her home. She also paid homage to the court, and then also signed the yamen documents, officially establishing the relationship.
Then Lianxiang was carried into the sedan chair by Shen Hao, and returned to the Shen Mansion in a lively manner.
However, the two maids who had followed Lianxiang for many years did not follow her anymore. They said goodbye to Lianxiang silently and disappeared into the vast sea of people.
After entering Chen's mansion, Lianxiang returned to her real name, Chu Linxiang.
Contrary to Yu Qiao's previous reaction when she saw the moon gate in the backyard, Lianxiang, no, Chu Linxiang's expression was one of shock and surprise, and she gently patted Xia Nu's arm and complained that the other party clearly knew why she didn't do it earlier. tell her?
A simple moon door not only separates the backyard layout, but also eliminates many potential conflicts.
As the saying goes, "Out of sight, out of mind" is not nonsense, but is the most effective way to alleviate inherent contradictions. As time goes by, this inherent contradiction will slowly dissolve, and even if it does not become "harmony" in the end, it will definitely not be "at war with each other."
But at the beginning, even if we just ate at the same table, the atmosphere was not very good. Shen Hao sat in the middle, Yu Qiao was on the left, and Chu Linxiang was on the right. Even picking up food became a "competition" intentionally or unintentionally. ", Shen Hao had to eat enough, otherwise they might have caused trouble to someone else.
In the next few days, Shen Hao also tried what is called "you come and I go" with a woman for the first time. Unlike Xia Nu and Yu Qiao, Chu Linxiang is not only a monk, but also a monk who practices charm. No matter in terms of physical strength or skills, Xia Nu and Yu Qiao can't compare.
What's more, there is a spell called "Acacia" in the art of charm, which is specially used for men and women. It stimulates the senses that Shen Hao has never experienced before, and it also has a slight effect on the cultivation level. .
However, "you come and I go" is only the first half. In the second half, Shen Hao relied on his own cultivation and physical strength to gain the upper hand and achieve crushing victory.
In general, Shen Hao has not been so happy one-on-one for a long time.
But it's not hard to say which woman is better, I can only say that each has its own merits.
In this way, Shen Hao's days at home were busy enough and he had a schedule. For example, on the 1357th day, we go to the "Moon-holding Garden"; on the 2468th day, we go to the "Huanxiang Garden"; and on the remaining 9th and 10th days, we go to the small courtyard of the three fox girls.
Full of arrangements, Shen Hao will plow the land as long as he is at home.
rest? Where do monks who cultivate martial arts and physical education need to rest? Wouldn't it be better to be a cow that can plow the fields?
Of course, it is not realistic to completely follow this schedule. This is the product of compromise between the women in the backyard. Shen Hao did not interfere in this regard and was happy to see the results. If there are rules, it means that there is no direct conflict for the time being. As for how several women cope? He is having fun but is he still worried about not being able to handle it?
There are still two days before Shen Hao takes a rest at home. Hu Tian went to investigate the matter of the Yu family and the Shen family in Xinliangcheng receiving congratulatory gifts, and finally got definite information.
"Sir, after repeated inquiries, it was finally determined that the jade jade first appeared at the house of the eldest man in Xinliang City. It was seen by someone during the inspection of the warehouse on the last night.
Later, people from the convoy also saw it during the transportation process. "
