Chapter 126 - Wedding date

The army triumphed, Chu Fengyuan rewarded the three armies, and the meritorious generals awarded rewards in turn, which did not end until the afternoon.

Although the two brothers were always together, they had no chance to speak well. When they left, Chu Fengyuan had time to pat Chu Xiangtian's shoulder and exhorted, "The queen is very worried about you. After the army outside the city is set up, remember to enter. Visit the palace."

Chu Xiangtian nodded and took the army to temporarily stationed outside the city. These soldiers were transferred from various places. Now that the war is over, the reward is also received, and it is time for them to return to the station one after another.

In order to prevent trouble, he had to sit in the camp outside the city for a few days. After the troops returned to their respective places, he could completely and safely throw the things in his hands to the people below.

Fu Tian didn't want to follow the army, so he went back to the Hou Mansion first. Zhou Chuanqing was eager to go home, and originally wanted to go back with Fu Tian, ​​but was forced to stay by the jealous prospective brother-in-law to handle the follow-up matters.

The two men who had no homes looked at each other, their eyes full of disgust for each other.

***

Leisure House.

After hearing the news of the triumphant victory of the army, Fu Ji sent someone out to guard at all times so that they could rush out to meet Fu Tian immediately when he returned.

Fu Tian came back on horseback, and when he saw Fu Ji before reaching the door, he brought a group of people to greet him, and they formed two teams respectfully to welcome him back.

Fu Tian looked behind Fu Ji. He didn't see Fu Youqin's figure. He suddenly felt empty and handed the reins to his servants. He pretended to inadvertently ask, "Isn't your mother at home?"

Fu Ji looked a little difficult, hesitated and said: "Madam is in the backyard, it seems...is angry."

Fu Tian's eyelids twitched and he coughed. He wanted to know why Fu Youqin was angry because of something.

Before going to the border gate, he hesitated and did not tell her. He even deceived people to Sifang Town to conceal it. Now that the army is triumphant, the news that he went to the border gate to find people has spread, and it was even spread so wonderfully. Knowing the news, you must be angry.

"Mother... very angry?" Fu Tian was guilty of inquiring about the news.

Fu Ji nodded and couldn't help but say something along, "Master Hou didn't tell his wife about such a big thing. After the wife learned the news, she couldn't eat for a few days of worry."

"But Madam still loves you no matter what, if you admit your mistake, Madam will die."

"I see." Fu Tian lowered his head and strode towards Fu Youqin's yard.

Fu Youqin sat under the eaves, holding a Chinese dress in his hand to sew. Hearing the footsteps in the courtyard, he raised his head and glanced up, then turned back, "Hou Ye is back."

Fu Tian's expression became more and more distressed. His mother had always called him by his niche name. Now that he even called "Hou Ye", most of them were very angry.

"Mother, I'm back."

Fu Tian leaned over, squatting down beside her, "Uncle Ji said you are angry."

Taking the needle with the hand, Fu Youqin said lightly: "I have something to be angry about. When the child grows up, he has his own ideas."

Fu Tian shook her arm like a spoiled child, and confessed her mistake obediently, "Mother, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't keep it from you."

Fu Youqin sighed for a long time and looked at his skinny cheeks. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't get angry anymore, "You are an adult, and what you want to do can't control you, but at least you should let me know. , Ran to the border quietly, in case..."

"Nothing in case," Fu Tian interrupted her and said with a smile: "Didn't I come back well? I will bring my daughter-in-law back to you in good condition."

Fu Youqin couldn't hold back his anger when he thought of the five big and thick "daughter-in-law" in his mouth, "Why didn't Fengzhang come back with you?"

Fu Tian propped his chin, "We are still in the camp outside the city, we have to deal with the military affairs before we can come back, and my brother-in-law is still there."

Fu Youqin compared the shirt in front of him, and satisfactorily pinned the needle and thread into the sewing kit, "Sell someone to send a message to your sister, she is also very worried these days."

Fu Tian nodded, "I'm all done, let my brother-in-law and my sister come over for a meal, I also want to discuss with you about something."

"What's the matter?" Fu Youqin was surprised.

Fu Tian pursed his lips and smiled, "I want to get married this year."

Fu Youqin looked hesitant, "In the palace..."

Fu Tian didn't look worried at all, he still smiled, "It's okay for the Queen Dowager to follow the emperor. It's the clan that is difficult, but Xiang Tian said he would solve it."

Compared with the shyness of mentioning marriage in the past, he appears more generous and calm. "We don't want to delay the marriage for so long."

Fu Youqin looked at him with a gentle expression. The little boy who used to snuggle in her arms has grown up completely, and there is no childishness between his eyes, but he has the calmness of some big people.

She smiled relievedly, "Then choose a good day, I'll let people see it."

"Thank you mother."

"..."

The mother and son were talking and laughing, and intimately got together to discuss the details of the marriage. When Chu Xiangtian returned from Daying, Fu Tian had even chosen a day.

There was only one auspicious day in the first half of the year, June 18. It won't be too hurry, and it doesn't take long. Fu Tian is very satisfied, and Chu Xiangtian listened to it after coming back, and was also very satisfied.

"Tomorrow we will enter the palace together." Chu Xiangtian embraced him with a smile on his eyebrows, "Speak to the emperor's brother first with the mother, and by the way, let the clan elder be stubborn."

It's just nonsense to ask for the consent of the ancestors, but the old class stubbornly saw that he was unaccustomed to marrying a man, and did not dare to bluntly obstruct him, so he found a drag on him, just in time for Fu Shuyue's wedding, Chu Xiang Tiancai didn't care about it. Everything was ready now. If someone dared to stop him, he wouldn't be polite.

The next day, the two entered the palace together, and first went to the Longevity Palace to meet the Queen Mother. It happened that Chu Fengyuan was also there, but the atmosphere between the mother and the son was a bit subtle.

After going to the battlefield from Chu Xiangtian, the queen mother chanted the scriptures and prayed for blessings every day, but she never slept peacefully. Later, when she heard the news of Chu Xiangtian's disappearance, before she had time to hurt her, she heard Chu Fengyuan say that Fu Tian was looking for someone. Went to the border.

The empress dowager, who has always been good-tempered, rarely got angry at the emperor and accused him of letting Fu Tian go to the border. If Fu Tian also had an accident, how could she explain to her younger son?

Feng Yuan had a hard time to say, and he had to take care of the emperor's face. He could only abruptly suffer the anger of the queen mother. After that, the queen mother went to the temple to meditate and prayed for the two children.

It was not until Fu Tian and the others returned to Qingyang that the Queen Mother was willing to come back from the temple after receiving the news.

Seeing the two neatly organized children, the queen mother couldn't help her tears. She wiped the corners of her eyes frequently with her kerchief. The two brothers looked at each other and were very at a loss. Finally, Fu Tian stepped forward and said a basket of good things with the queen mother. People coax good.

The queen mother took Fu Tian to look carefully, and squeezed his cheek distressedly, "I'm thin, did you suffer at the border?"

As she said that, she remembered the good things the elder son had done, and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "The emperor shouldn't allow you to go to the border."

Chu Fengyuan: "..."

He coughed and winked at Fu Tian frequently. He didn't want to let people go, but first, if Fu Tian sneaked away, he couldn't stop him. Second, Fu Tian's attitude was too firm at the time. I believe he can find Chu Xiangtian.

Facts proved that Fu Tian was right, but the Queen Mother would not accept such an explanation.

Fu Tian received his gaze, couldn't help but smiled, and explained again and again that he insisted on going, not that Chu Fengyuan didn't want to stop, but couldn't stop it.

The queen mother looked at the two serious-looking sons, and then at Fu Tian, ​​who was smiling particularly pleasingly beside her, and sighed. After all, she didn't anger with the elder son anymore.

Fu Tian stayed in the palace for lunch. After the meal, Chu Xiangcai mentioned that he wanted to prepare for the big wedding. Too many consequences, as expected, she agreed. If she didn't oppose it, then she and Chu Xiangtian are in the same mood. Not much difference.

Although Fu Tian is a man, in addition to this, it is true that people can't make mistakes everywhere. His appearance and family background are not bad, his personality is very responsible, and he can live and die with his partner in critical moments, if not early After making a kiss with Chu Xiangtian, the threshold of Kangle Hou Mansion will be broken by the matchmaker.

The queen mother looked at her joyful little son, shook her head, and said to Chu Fengyuan: "The two men are married, and whoever will marry is not happy. I am afraid that some people will gossip about the ceremony in the future..."

Chu Fengyuan agreed with the Queen Mother, and immediately understood what she meant, and then said, "It's better to have the marriage given by me, and the ceremony will be held in the palace."

The queen mother nodded with satisfaction, and the marriage of the two was settled.

The two stayed in the palace for two days. After leaving the palace, Chu Xiangtian went to the clan house first. When he went, his face was gloomy, but when he returned, he was full of spring breeze.

The next day, the imperial decree of marriage came to the Kanglehou Mansion.

The chief eunuch finished chanting the imperial decree with a sharp throat, and bowed his hands to the two of them.

Chu Xiangtian was refreshed at happy events, and the smile on his face did not fade. Hearing this, he immediately stuffed him with a large red envelope. His expression was unprecedented and kind, but it scared the eunuch chief who was used to seeing cold faces. That's choking.

After the decree of giving the marriage came down, news came from the clan house within a few days, saying that the auspicious day had been counted, and when the red paper with auspicious day was opened, it was the June 18th that Fu Tian and the others liked.

Chu Xiangtian put the red paper away and smiled triumphantly.

The auspicious day is set, and the rest is to prepare for the marriage.

The emperor gave the marriage, the wedding ceremony was held in the palace, and all the trivial matters of the wedding were handed over to the palace to prepare, but the two bridegrooms were idle.

The two people who had nothing to do did not go out, and they were tired and crooked at the house all day long. In the end, the people outside couldn't wait and came to the door tremblingly.

The person who came was the manager of Zhuangzi. In November last year, Fu Tian opened a field in Zhuangzi and planted seedlings that he had bred from new rice seeds. This batch of seedlings was unreasonable, in the cold winter season. Planted and taken care of by Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi was in charge of things originally thought it was absurd, but the seedlings that he planted actually survived most of the cold winter. After the fighting was fierce, Fu Tian rushed to the frontier and paid no attention to the news of Zhuangzi.

On the contrary, the steward who guards this paddy field every day is extremely excited. These seedlings have planted an acre of land in total. When it snowed, half of them were frozen to death, and more than half of those who survived are under his eyelids. Growing up, drawing leaves and long ears, turning from green to yellow, now it is finally harvested.
