Happy Marriage

But it's good, Xue Shi gave birth to Xia Ziwu's good skin, no matter where he goes, he will always make people look at him, and he can't help but take a second look. This always satisfies her vanity, like a proud peacock, showing her colorful feathers to others, but she doesn't know what she looks like when she opens the screen and shows her naked back. Ugly scene.

Xia Zixian is a talented person who can easily write poems and words, but there is some splendid beauty in her stomach, and she likes to sing the wind and play with the moon. After going back and forth, among those high-ranking officials and nobles, they even broke out into the name and mixed the name of "talented woman". This made Xue a little complacent and often showed off in front of An Sheng.

An Sheng never goes to those boring banquets to entertain and publicize, but who doesn't know that there is a daughter Xia Ansheng in the Xia Mansion?

There were still people asking about Xue Shi, Xue Shi was perfunctory, and occasionally he would mean something inside and outside the words, slandering An Sheng, and praising his two daughters.

Naturally, An Sheng was ignorant of these things.

An Sheng bought a carriage by himself, and begged Wang Bolai to be a coachman from Member Xia, so that going and going back and forth was much freer.

Throughout the twelfth lunar month, she was very busy.

There are many happy events in the twelfth lunar month every year, because it is the time of leisure, many families will rush to negotiate marriage and marriage for their children in the lunar lunar month, especially the families of the villagers, who know how to plan. Eat a winter month's food for nothing.

In a twelfth lunar month, firecrackers in the capital continued, one after another, filled with strong joy.

An Zheng has already settled the marriage with the husband's family of the Hanlin Academy. The old lady insisted that An Zheng should spend the last Chinese New Year at home, and she did not go out. But preparations for the dowry have already begun.

An Sheng and An Zheng are also very close now, so he has prepared a heart for An Zheng alone. Just wait for the spring to set a date, and come to the door to give you some makeup.

The uncle's family also took care of the son's marriage and notified the family. An Sheng and his uncle's cousin were not very close, but his uncle Qin Huaiyuan had always thought of himself. On the day of marriage, An Sheng asked Leng Nanxian for a day off, prepared a heavy gift, and went to congratulate him.

Qian's eyes are still open to seeing Qian, and seeing An Sheng, the **** of wealth, he welcomes him with good words. He has long forgotten the embarrassment he encountered when building the house, and treats An Sheng like a guest.

The relatives here, An Sheng did not know either, so he just took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the kang with his grandmother to talk, too lazy to perfunctory.

However, she is now a well-known person in Beijing, and coupled with Qian's propaganda, many people are outside the house holding their heads and looking inside, more than the women who surround and look at the bride.

Then there is Meng Jingxian's marriage. That scholar named Yang Chengye really came to propose marriage. Meng Shilang was prejudiced against this scholar because of the misunderstanding at the beginning, but after seeing him, he felt that he knew people well and would not live under people for a long time, but he was reluctant. Not opposing.

Mrs. Meng was naturally unhappy, and wished she could drive the scholar out with a stick, expressing her firm opposition.

This matter was stalemate for some time, Meng Jinglun and An Ran also persuaded with good words, Meng Jingxian was determined again, Mrs. Meng, a mother, was always soft-hearted, and gradually eased her mouth, and no longer opposed it so resolutely. , to shirk and say that Yang Chengye will make a decision after he has achieved fame and fame in the coming year.

In fact, even if Yang Chengye obtained fame and fame, he came from a humble background, and he couldn't compare to the powerful family in the court. It was not easy for Mrs. Meng to make a step back, and Meng Jingxian had nothing to insist on.

To An Sheng's surprise, Mrs. Feng, who set up the wonton stall, also scored twice, tied the knot with the man who had been taking care of her, and also invited An Sheng to eat a handful of wedding candy.

The happy events are one after another, and it is already the end of the year in a blink of an eye. The smell of gunpowder smoke from firecrackers has been lingering. Every household cleans the house, steams flower cakes, and buys new clothes for the children.

An Sheng has been staying in the medicine house, and the things in the house are not worried. But seeing that the house was gradually lit up with lights, it took on a brand new look.

In previous years, on New Year's Eve, the whole family went to the uncle's house to have a reunion dinner. But this year, Xia Yuanwai Gaosheng will be eligible to bring his family members to the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace. The old lady has passed the message early, so that the second room will not have to go to the big room this year, but only need to come to the house on the first day of the new year to worship the ancestors. Just have a reunion dinner.

Both Xia Ziwu and Xia Zixian were eagerly looking forward to the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace. When all the officials gathered, it was a good time to show their knowledge.

An Sheng thought that with such a good opportunity, the Xue family would take Xia Zihuan with him, but unexpectedly, the Xue family chose Xia Zixian alone. This has nothing to do with the scenery of Xia Zixian these days.

Although Xia Ziwu was born bright and beautiful, but after all, she had a simple mind, and she didn't think much of it in the past. Now, the Xue family often takes them to and from those wealthy mansions, which shows the benefits of Xia Zixian reading poetry and books. And Xia Ziwu's every move was somewhat out of tune with the ladies around him.

Therefore, this time, the Xue family actually gave up on Xia Ziwu, and instead planned to bring Xia Zixian to show her face.

Xia Ziwu has always been the first to do good things since childhood.

She felt that after all, she was one year older than Xia Zixian, Xia Zixian still had a chance in the future, and it was the time for her to discuss her relatives, so this kind of occasion and opportunity should be given to herself first.

She repeatedly protested to the Xue family and refused to give in. Come up with the means that you wanted to marry into the Meng family.

Xue's hard-heartedly persuaded Xia Ziwu to go.

In the end, Xia Zixian made a concession.

She has a heart, and it doesn't matter to her whether she can stand out at the palace banquet.

Xue reluctantly agreed.

Because the New Year's Eve is approaching, the shop will have an annual holiday. As the owner, I want to seal a red envelope for the guys to make a good luck, and then distribute some rice, flour, grain and oil, etc., so that the guys can go home for a good year.

Naturally, these shopkeepers were worried, and An Sheng didn't have to personally ask. What the shopkeepers mean is that the new store has just opened, and there is not much profit, so that's all.

An Sheng didn't want to treat them badly, thinking that only by being generous to the guys would they be more motivated and loyal in the coming year.

So she came back from the medicine house early today, passed several shops, turned around, and then began to count the New Year's goods distributed to the guys.

There are many stalls on the street out of thin air, all of which are all kinds of New Year's goods.

The crowd is also crowded, bustling, very lively.

An Sheng asked Uncle Wang to park the carriage aside and go around by himself.

Someone shouted at the top of his voice: "Go to the floating building next to you to watch the excitement!"

Floating Life Building, An Sheng knows, is the largest brothel in Beijing. It is said that the sisters in it are all beautiful, charming and charming, and are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, good at singing and dancing, and provoked many kings and grandchildren in the capital to linger.

The liveliness in the brothel is even more fascinating.

"What's the fun?" Someone who did good things immediately asked in a loud voice.

"I heard that the lady of the oiran was grooming today, and some people started fighting because of this."

"Too much money burns. I thought that, like last time, the man took too much medicine, and the two of them couldn't be separated? What's so good about fighting?"

"I heard that there was a big gold customer who bought six girls at a time, and then came to fight for the oiran lady, which made others look unpleasant, and called officers and soldiers to surround the Fusheng Tower."

The person next to him was speechless: "I have such a big appetite. It would be too fierce to buy so many girls at one time."

"The officers and soldiers raised by the imperial court have nothing to do when they are full, but they still manage to rob girls? Who is so big?"

"Let's go, go and have a look, and take a look at the charm of the oiran lady, and she actually caused the two of them to be at each other's throats."

The Floating Life Building is not far away, a group of people are flocking to watch the fun, An Sheng is standing in the middle, his feet are almost not touching the ground, and he is crowded by a group of people.

The women on the side of the road scolded: "As soon as they heard the lively scene in the brothel, all these people crowded together to watch it, and they were not afraid of needles."

An Sheng couldn't get out for a while, and he was crowded and squeezed in front of the floating building, even his hair and temples were messed up.

A woman beside her was squeezed to the point of losing an embroidered shoe, and she kept swearing.

Sure enough, the entrance of Fusheng Building was already full of swords and guns. A group of officers and soldiers held steel knives and blocked the door of Fusheng Building.

And the floating building has closed the door.

Only the old bustard stood at the door, begging a white-faced young man with a wry face: "Young Master Jin, look, what kind of grievance is there for us to talk about, how can I do business in this Fushenglou?"

The man called Jin Gongzi glared: "You old beggar, don't be wordy, I know that you are backed by someone who will show you mercy, and I won't push hard today, nor will you smash your sign. You just need to open it. At the gate of your Floating Life Building, call out that arrogant guy just now to my son, let him know how badly he offended this son! It's enough to grab people with this son, and he is so arrogant and rude, how can he be shy now Turtle, don't you dare show your face?"

The old lady cupped her hands again and again: "You are so aggressive, and you bring so many officers and soldiers, how can I dare to open the door? You calm down, and then mother, I will definitely choose two lovely girls for you to accompany you."

Young Master Jin squinted: "I have to provoke my temper and smash your floating building, right?"

An Sheng couldn't see the arrogance of these rich sons. He was not ashamed of such a contemptible thing as Xunhua and Liu, and he blatantly brought officers and soldiers over to make trouble.

But the old bustard is not a poor person, even if he is beaten, he deserves it.

She turned her face away, trying to squeeze out the crowd and go home.

At this moment, the door of the floating building suddenly opened from the inside.

"In this capital, if you say madness, I say first, no one dares to say second. I didn't expect to meet an opponent today."

As soon as these words came out, An Sheng suddenly stopped and turned his face away in disbelief.
