As Emperor Wen's tour of central Shu ended, Qin Hao also returned to the capital. Before taking office, he still had one important thing to do, and that was to get married.
The Qin family and the Cheng family have already made all the preliminary preparations, and the only thing left is to prepare for the wedding. Originally, Cheng Shi was reluctant to marry off his daughter so soon, but considering that Qin Hao was about to He takes office, and his term lasts for at least three years. If he gets married in Rong County, it will be too deserted and his daughter will be wronged.
The two parties hit it off immediately. After Qin Hao and Cheng Shaoshang came back, they quickly decided on the wedding date, which was on the fifteenth day of the month.
Cheng Shaoshang was also very happy. He could finally get rid of Xiao Yuanyi's control. The smile on his face bloomed like a flower. Xiao Yuanyi felt sad for a while and complained to Cheng Shi.
"Is she so unwilling to stay in this family?"
Cheng Shi was also a little worried, "Well, my mother-in-law is also from a wealthy family, so I'm afraid she won't look down on our family. Born, I will be treated poorly.”
“The deal is done, what can we do? She chose her own path, and she also chose her husband. In the future, even if she is wronged by her husband’s family, how can we survive? It's impossible to lead troops to the Qin family to cause trouble," Xiao Yuanyi said sourly.
On the other side, Qin Hao was discussing with his parents that he would take Cheng Shaoshang with him to take office after the marriage.
Qin Yuan was not happy when she heard this: "Since ancient times, a married woman has to serve her parents-in-law at home."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Hao used his trump card. But, mother, after we get married, my child will go to work. If Niao Niao doesn’t follow, how can I contribute to the Qin family?"
After hearing what Qin Hao said, Qin Yuan stopped talking for an instant. After she married Qin Fang, almost everything went smoothly, but one thing always bothered her, and that was Qin Fang's eldest son.
After she married Qin Fang, Qin Fang went abroad, and she stayed at home to serve her parents-in-law. As a result, Qin Fang left for three years, and when Qin Fang came back, she followed him. Qin Fang's caring maid was pregnant, and she could only admit it by pinching her nose.
Frustrated by the pain, Qin Yuan was naturally unwilling to see this scene happen again, so she agreed with Cheng Shaoshang to follow Qin Hao to take office.
Qin Fang will naturally not interfere, but only warns Qin Hao to be careful and act cautiously when in Shu.
The waiting time is always difficult. Cheng Shaoshang eagerly counted the days until the wedding day finally arrived.
On that day, Emperor Wen issued a decree and gave Qin Hao many rare treasures. In addition, due to his previous contribution to suppressing the rebellion in Shu, Qin Hao's title was also promoted to the title of Marquis of Guannei.
In addition, the Queen also sent many exquisite jewelry and jewelry to Cheng Shaoshang. She also praised Cheng Shaoshang highly in front of the guests, saying that she was a model of women and a lady from a famous family.
This made those famous ladies who laughed at Cheng Shaoshang’s vulgarity extremely bitter. No one would dare to make an issue of it in the future. After all, the queen said that Cheng Shaoshang was a noble lady. Who would If you dare to call her vulgar, wouldn’t that be a slap in the queen’s face?
Qin Hao welcomes her hereThe team of relatives set off from the Qin Mansion in a mighty manner. Yuan Shen and Ling Buyi were both captured by Qin Hao as coolies. There was no such thing as best man at this time. They were mainly to help Qin Hao break through the barriers and hold back the wine.
As Qin Hao’s cousin, Yuan Shen naturally had a duty, and Ling Buyi was completely fooled. However, with Ling Buyi’s face of ice, no one would dare to embarrass him, and the effect was very good. obvious.
The three distinguished young men in the capital were naturally sought after when they walked on the street. Unfortunately, Qin Hao was already a married man, so the young ladies along the street set their sights on Yuan. Shen and Ling Buyi.
The young ladies of the Han Dynasty did not have so many restrictions. They were all very bold. Many people threw their wallets at Yuan Shen and Ling Buyi. Fortunately, Ling Buyi practiced martial arts all year round. The tendons are so fleshy that it doesn’t hurt even if a small purse hits the body.
Yuan Shen was in a miserable state. He was a weak scholar who was so embarrassed that he couldn't lift his head after being hit by his purse.
When they arrived at the gate of Cheng Mansion, Cheng Song and Cheng Shaogong had been bribed by Qin Hao for a long time. They made a simple request and were passed by Qin Hao.
It’s finally time to pick up the bride, Cheng Shaoshang said quietly to Qin Hao through his hijab.
"Ah Hao, I'm so hungry. They don't even let me eat."
The wedding ceremony in the Han Dynasty was relatively long, and it was probably because he was afraid of something happening in the middle. Qin Hao Yuan Shen said to Yuan Shen beside him, "I'll help my cousin to get some cakes."
Yuan Shen's face was full of reluctance, "This is not in line with etiquette. Isn't this the case for all married women?"
Before Cheng Shaoshang could refute, Qin Hao asked, "Is there any record in the Book of Rites that the bride should marry on an empty stomach? Since it doesn't matter if she doesn't eat something to fill her stomach, if my cousin doesn't want to go, I'll go there myself." That's it."
When Yuan Shen saw that Qin Hao was really going to leave, he quickly grabbed him and said, "I'll go, why don't I go? There's nothing for the couple to worry about."
< p>Cheng Shaoshang did not forget to tell Yuan Shen, "Don't ask for anything too sweet. I don't like it, and eating too much will make you thirsty."Yuan Shen slipped and almost fell down. He glared at Cheng Shaoshang fiercely before turning and leaving.
Xiao Yuanyi felt very unhappy when she saw Cheng Shaoshang and Qin Hao talking and laughing there, showing no trace of the sadness of a married woman.
Cheng Shi was very happy to see Qin Hao doting on his daughter like this, and he could let go of a big stone in his heart.
"After you get married, you must treat each other with respect as guests."
Cheng Shi was about to shed tears as he spoke, and Cheng Shaoshang's nose also felt a little sore.
"Dad, my daughter can no longer fulfill her filial piety in front of you. Don't drink so much in the future."
Xiao Yuanyi watched Cheng Shaoshang and Cheng Shi telling him for a while, When he came to her, he didn't say a word, and his eyes couldn't help but look a little sad.
Coming out of Cheng Mansion, Cheng Shaoshang got on the carriage, and Qin Hao rode beside him. Although it was against the rules, everyone just joked and passed.
Cheng Shaoshang was caught dressing up early in the morning.Feeling hungry, I grabbed the snacks Yuan Shen brought me and started to nibble on them, even wanting to share them with Qin Hao.
Qin Hao dotingly pinched her cheeks that still had some baby fat, "You can eat it yourself, there will be a banquet later, I won't be hungry, just take care of yourself."
< p> After entering the Qin family and holding a marriage ceremony, Cheng Shaoshang was sent to the bridal chamber. Qin Hao still had a hard battle to fight. The legitimate son of Qin's parents' room was getting married. Basically all the relatives at home came, even Qin Hao's brother-in-law also arrived, and a hundred tables were set up for the banquet alone.The front yard, the middle yard, and the back yard are all full. Qin Hao has to go around the entire Qin Mansion just to toast table after table. Thanks to his "Alcohol Battlefield", such a thing as the Han Dynasty Low-alcohol rice wine is nothing to him.
Even so, drinking from noon to dusk was an arduous test. Yuan Shen, the one who blocked the drink, had already been drunk, which meant that Ling Buyi had a pretty good drinking capacity, and was finally beaten by the Liang family. My brother carried me back.
Finally, all the guests who came to celebrate had left, and Qin Hao had the opportunity to come to the bridal chamber.
When I entered the door, I found that Cheng Shaoshang was already asleep, and Lian Fang, who came with him as a dowry, was flushed with anxiety.
"Okay, you have been tired today, go down and rest."
"No." Lian Fang glanced at Cheng Shaoshang who was lying on the bed with some worry. I had no choice but to quit.
Qin Hao looked at Cheng Shaoshang leaning against the wall, looking like he was about to fall down at any moment. He felt a little funny. He stepped forward and hugged her gently, put her down, and put his head on her head at the same time. The jewelry was taken off one by one.
Finally, when Qin Hao was about to take off her wedding dress, Cheng Shaoshang finally woke up. When she opened her eyes and saw Qin Hao so close to her, she rarely blushed and looked at Qin Hao charmingly. .
Cheng Shaoshang moved his body, lifted the quilt with a smile, motioned for Qin Hao to sleep up too, and stretched lazily.
"Ah Hao, I'm so sleepy, let's take a rest early."
Qin Hao was happy. This girl didn't seem to realize that two people sleeping together were not just sleeping together. So simple together.
Taking off his clothes, Qin Hao slept next to Cheng Shaoshang, held her in his arms, smiled evilly in her ear and said, "We still have something big to do, so we can't rest yet."
Cheng Shaoshang said impatiently, "Why do you still have something to do? Getting married is so troublesome."
Qin Hao posted it directly. At first, Cheng Shaoshang could only be young and passive. He was at the mercy of Qin Hao and gradually began to respond subconsciously.
"Woooo"
After a night of silence, when Qin Hao woke up, Cheng Shaoshang had fallen asleep leaning on his chest, with tears still hidden in the corners of his eyes and frowning. Wrinkled together from time to time.
"What time is it now?" Qin Hao asked.
Lianfang beside the bed quickly replied, "Go back to my uncle, it's just past midnight."
Qin Hao nodded, put on his clothes and got up from the bed. Lianfang was about to call Cheng. Shaoshang was stopped by Qin Hao.
"Let your lady sleep a little longer, she was exhausted yesterday."
Lianfang obviously misunderstood Qin Hao's meaning, and mistook "exhausted yesterday" as "tired last night" Bad, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he said in a low and inaudible voice.
"But the young lady still has to serve tea to the madam and the master."
Qin Hao shook his head at her, "I will go and talk to my parents, it won't be a problem."< /p>
"But"
Lianfang still wanted to speak, Qin Hao glared at her, "Why am I useless?"
"I don't dare, Nuo." ." Lian Fang quickly lowered her head. After all, Qin Hao had been on the battlefield and killed people. When she became serious, the momentum made her breathless.
After Qin Hao washed up, he came to the front hall and found that in addition to Qin Fang and Qin Yuan, many elders of the Qin family were already waiting.
Second uncle said with some emotion, "Hao'er has gotten married in a blink of an eye. Brother, we are all old too."
Qin Fang looked at Qin Hao's graceful expression Seeing gifts from relatives, he felt relieved, "Yes, the children have grown up."
Qin Hao saw that Cheng Shaoshang would definitely not be able to escape from this battle, so he could only let the people around him The servant went to the wedding room to inform Cheng Shaoshang to come quickly.
Fortunately, they were all relatives, and no one specifically blamed Cheng Shaoshang for coming too late. Qin Yuan was originally a little dissatisfied with Cheng Shaoshang's rudeness, but when she saw that her walking posture was awkward, she immediately His attitude became kinder.
After Cheng Shaoshang offered tea, he took her hand and started whispering. No matter how thick-skinned Cheng Shaoshang was, he still inevitably blushed when asked that kind of question.
Qin Hao also rarely saw Cheng Shaoshang acting like a little daughter, and looked on with a smile.
During breakfast, Mrs. Qin Yuan also prepared a cup of Blood Swallow Tremella Soup for Cheng Shaoshang, and even whispered a few words in her ear, making Cheng Shaoshang even more shy.
When the other aunts saw this, they also joined in the teasing. As expected, married women are powerful in fighting, even in ancient times when etiquette was prevalent.
The thing that Qin Hao was asked about the most was the appointment in Rong County. The Qin family’s base camp was in Shaanxi. The last time Qin Hao went to Longxi to supply supplies, he received a lot of help from the Qin family. This is the foundation of a wealthy family.
But in Shu, the Qin family has little influence and can only rely on itself. At the same time, Shu is a country of abundance, and the Qin family naturally wants to extend the family's tentacles to Shu to increase the number of people. family influence.
The productivity level of the feudal dynasty determines that the influence of aristocratic families on the local area will never diminish. Controlling the local area through severe punishment and laws like the Qin Dynasty is very vulnerable to backlash. Otherwise, the country will be in turmoil. .
The imperial power did not extend to the county, which was more like a dividing line drawn between the emperor and the aristocratic families.
Qin Hao raised his hands to the uncles and said, "Thank you all uncles, but it is still not appropriate to act rashly for the time being. After all, our Qin family is an outsider.", if it is too grand, it will easily arouse the hostility of the local clan forces. "
Everyone nodded when they heard this. The second uncle praised him and said, "Well, Hao'er can think of this level and is already much stronger than me at the beginning. Let him have a try. Let's be his backing." That’s it. "
Qin Fang also stood up and handed over to everyone, "Haoer is still young after all. I will rely on you to give me guidance in the future." ”
Even if the meeting of the middle class of the Qin family is over, through this brief meeting, Qin Hao and his uncles have also recognized Qin Hao’s identity as the heir to the family leader. In the future, the Qin family All resources will be tilted towards him.
But Qin Hao’s eldest brother is not even qualified to participate in such a meeting. This is the strict hierarchy of feudal society. Although it is cruel, it is indeed the most capable. A system that ensures the stable development of the family.
After all, strong fortresses often disintegrate from within, and the damage caused by internal strife is more powerful than any external force. This is the experience accumulated by our ancestors through thousands of years of practice.
After their wedding, Qin Hao and Cheng Shaoshang lived a life without shame. Since they were in their wedding period, Emperor Wen also gave Qin Hao half a month of vacation.
< p>Qin Hao took Cheng Shaoshang around the capital. In the past, as a girl to be married, Cheng Shaoshang could only go out with his father and brother. Now that he has become Mrs. Qin, he doesn’t have so many worries and can often go out with him. Qin Hao went out to play together.When passing by the bustling streets, Cheng Shaoshang usually sat on the carriage and could only take a few glances out of the carriage window. Now, he can play with Qin Hao. Walking down the road unscrupulously
Cheng Shaoshang felt that the days after marriage were much happier than the days when he was a girl in Cheng Mansion. A person's state could not be faked, so he returned home. At that time, Cheng Shaoshang looked so good that Xiao Yuanyi was puzzled.
"Uncle, my Niao Niao didn't cause any trouble to you, right?" Cheng Shi was very happy, looking at Cheng Shaoshang's rosy face. He was very enthusiastic about Qin Hao.
Qin Hao smiled and said, "How could it be? Niao Niao is very virtuous, and her father and mother like her very much." "
Xiao Yuanyi expressed doubts about this. What he was talking about was really his daughter. She really couldn't put the word virtuous and virtuous together with his daughter.
"Haha, then Okay, that's good. "Cheng Shi happily invited Qin Hao to the table for a drink.
Cheng Shaoshang was telling his cousin Cheng Shu about his married life. Cheng Shu was extremely envious and thought a little shyly. It would be great if her husband could be like her brother-in-law to her sister.
Of course, as Cheng Shaoshang's good sister, Wan Qishu's wife will naturally not miss the good day when she returns home, and relative to her. Cheng Shu's shyness and the questions asked by Wan's wife made Cheng Shaoshang, a married woman, blush.
Looking at Cheng Shu running away, Wan's wife asked Cheng Shaoshang doubtfully, "What's this?" Isn’t having children a woman’s business? What does it have to do with men?”
This question directly stupefied Cheng Shaoshang. In fact, she didn’t know about having children.The specific principle of the child is that he is very happy to be with Qin Hao at night.
Finally, Lian Fang couldn't stand listening anymore and reminded Cheng Shaoshang that the banquet was about to begin, thus interrupting the conversation between the two very nervous people.
However, for a period of time after that, Wan Tzu and his wife often came to the Qin Mansion to play with Cheng Shaoshang, and the topics they discussed were not generally large-scale, which made every time Wan Tzu and Wife come to the lotus room, it was like Facing the enemy, he sent away all the maids who were serving him, leaving her alone.
Qin Hao has seen Wan Qiu's wife's heroic attitude, and is not surprised at all. He is just a little unhappy that she often takes up the time he and Cheng Shaoshang spend alone together.
Wan Zhushi felt confident about this, "Anyway, after you take office, Niao Nuo will follow you. You will have time to get along. If we sisters meet again next time, it will be a few years later."< /p>
Okay, you are right. Qin Hao has no choice but to contribute his wife.
After half a month of honeymoon vacation, Emperor Wen's decree came down, and Qin Hao finally embarked on the road to Rong County to take up his post.
Qin Hao was not in a hurry along the way, but went sightseeing with Cheng Shaoshang. There were many places of interest in Shu, and they stopped and stopped until autumn. Qin Hao did not come to Rong County until autumn.
The former county magistrate of Rong County was transferred to Longxi to serve as county magistrate. It was a promotion in name, but in fact it was a punishment. After all, the government was a land of abundance, and the Qiang rebellion in Longxi had just been put down, and the people's customs were strong. It's not that easy for officials.
Qin Hao was a little confused at first. According to Emperor Wen's style of doing things, since he was making room for him, he should at least move him to a relatively similar place.
But when Qin Hao saw the property left to him by the previous magistrate of Rong County, he knew why Emperor Wen did this.
It is not an exaggeration to describe Rong County at this time as poor and destitute. It stands to reason that Rong County has an excellent geographical location, with waterways crisscrossing it, and a large amount of fertile farmland around it. It should not be like this. A county that should have been wealthy, Being left poor and destitute is either due to limited ability or corruption and perversion of the law.
For other successors, the situation in Rong County is definitely a hell start, but for Qin Hao, it is nothing.
Three days after taking office, Qin Hao invited some influential squires and elders in the county to the county government office and held a banquet.
Of course it is not the Hongmen Banquet, but to win them over to do business together in the name of the Qin family.
