Eight hundred and fortieth chapters Holy Family (1)
On February 12, General Lian and Commander Zhou were happily married.
This marriage event can be called a great event in Qi Dynasty, attracting almost the entire capital's attention!
Zhou Quan was the commander of the emperor's bodyguards and lived in the palace on weekdays. General Lian lived in the military camp on weekdays and occasionally returned to the Lian Mansion. When the two got married, the emperor rewarded them with a mansion.
On the plaque of this mansion, the four characters "General Lian's Mansion" are written.
The calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, like a flying dragon and a phoenix, and was written by Xie Mingxi, the Queen of the Central Palace. All the furnishings in the palace were gifts from the emperor and came from the palace.
This also shows how General Lian obtained the Sacred Heart.
Because of this, Zhou Quan was teased several times by colleagues and friends unkindly: "After Commander Zhou gets married, he will be able to live in General Lian's mansion. I wonder how Commander Zhou feels about it!"
"In terms of official rank, General Lian is two levels higher than Commander Zhou. Commander Zhou is very lucky to be able to marry the first female general in Da Qi!"
"General Zhou is so lucky that we are so envious!"
Joking, joking, mocking, teasing, sour, entertaining, everything is there.
Faced with all this, Zhou Quanyi responded solemnly: "You are right. I am lucky to be able to marry General Lian! General Lian is very brave, unparalleled, and good at leading and training troops. I am ashamed to say that these
I am not as good as me. General Lian is willing to commit himself to marry me, I don't know how happy I am."
"The Emperor specially gifted General Lian's Mansion to General Lian. After getting married, I will be happy to live with her in General Lian's Mansion."
"By the way, when I get married, you will all come to the general's mansion for a drink. Then I will personally cook and make some delicious side dishes for you to drink with."
"I went to the imperial dining room specially to learn from the imperial chef. I thought that after we get married, I can cook for my wife. You will be blessed."
Her handsome face, which was dark and rosy, looked very much like a young daughter-in-law who was about to get married. It was really eye-catching. Those words were even more heart-wrenching.
Everyone expressed their opinions.
Who is this idiot in front of me?
Is this still the cold and sharp Commander Zhou from the past?
Sorry, I don’t know you!
…
The entire Lian family has also been busy with General Lian's marriage for many days.
The emperor rewarded the general's palace, and even all the furnishings in the palace were rewarded by the palace. The Lian family was greatly honored and they had to prepare a dowry for Lian Shuyuan.
On the day of the wedding, dowries were continuously brought out from the Lian Mansion, totaling sixty dowries. It was extremely rich! One-third of it was a reward from the emperor and the empress, and the other third was sent by the Zhou family.
The betrothal gift and the other twenty dowries came from the Lian family.
On this day, both the Zhou family and the Lian family were very lively. However, it was not as lively as General Lian's residence.
Almost all the generals of Qi Dynasty came to congratulate them today. There were also the commanders of the emperor's bodyguard and the centurions and thousands of captains of the Shu army.
In addition, many students who Lian Shuyuan taught when he was a master at Lianchi Academy also came to visit one by one today. The congratulatory gifts they sent filled several warehouses, but they were not enough and were piled directly outside the warehouses.
There were more than a hundred tables set up in the general's mansion, but he still couldn't sit down, so he simply set up several tables of banquets outside the mansion.
The flowers are decorated with brocade, but that's all.
The respect and favor shown by the emperor and empress to General Lian was obvious to everyone. At this time, how could everyone not move forward?
It was dark, and the general's mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations inside and outside, and it was full of joy.
Lian Shuyuan was wearing a wedding dress and a hijab, sitting calmly beside the bed.
Zhou Quan was wearing a bright red wedding robe, his dark handsome face was full of joy, and his mouth was grinning. No matter how his colleagues and friends joked and drank, the smile on his face never broke.
Halfway through the banquet, there was a commotion outside the door.
Zhou Quan was already a bit drunk, so he opened his mouth and ordered the soldiers around him: "Go and see what's going on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Wei's familiar face came into view.
Eunuch Wei was a close servant of the Emperor, and many people knew him. When he appeared, everyone thought that he was here on the Emperor's order to reward a new couple generously.
Even Zhou Quan thought so, and stepped forward with a smile: "Eunuch Wei, please hurry up and have a glass of wine."
Eunuch Wei blinked and said with a smile: "There are distinguished guests coming to have a wedding banquet. Commander Zhou, hurry up and go out to greet them."
Distinguished guest?
Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing. He was surprised, happy, and even more disbelieving. He walked lightly to the front door as if he were stepping on cotton.
A group of generals also noticed something strange, and many of them took the initiative to get up and follow Zhou Quan to the door.
Outside the door, hundreds of the emperor's soldiers were scattered everywhere, vigilantly guarding the young man who was as handsome as a celestial being.
The young man was not wearing a dragon robe, but a black military uniform. He had a tall and straight posture and a graceful demeanor.
The young woman beside him was wearing a red and white military uniform, with curved eyebrows and a smile on her lips.
Under the bright light, this pair of men and women, with smiles on their faces, are full of splendor.
…
God!
It turned out that the emperor and empress arrived together!
There was a bang in Zhou Quan's head, and he stepped forward quickly, about to kneel down and salute.
Sheng Hong had already rushed to smile and said: "Today is a happy day for you and Master. Today I come as a disciple to congratulate Master. In terms of status, you are my master. How can a master salute his disciple."
Hearing the word "master", Zhou Quan was immediately flattered, and his dark face turned red. He didn't know where he put his hands and feet: "Your Majesty, I..."
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled: "You don't have to be so formal. The emperor and I are here to drink two glasses of water and wine, and then we will go back to the palace to say hello to the master."
Not only Zhou Quan but also all the guests were confused.
On the day of the wedding, the emperor and the empress came out of the palace to congratulate her. What an honor! What a glory! What kind of luck did this boy Zhou Quan have to marry General Lian!
The faces of all the people in the Zhou family shone brightly.
Originally, there were some criticisms about this marriage, such as "General Lian is too old and he doesn't know whether he will be able to have children in the future", "The official position is higher than that of his husband, so he will be suppressed if he gets married", "It will be a disaster if he can't live in the Zhou family after getting married."
"What's the difference between living in a general's mansion and having a son-in-law come to your door?" all disappeared at this moment.
There is such a strong divine grace! It is enough to offset everything!
Sure enough, Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi only drank two glasses of water and wine before entering the new house.
I originally thought I would see a shy newlywed wearing a hijab. I never thought that what I saw after opening the door was...
Six exquisite and delicious dishes were placed on the table, including hot porridge, soup, noodles, and a pot of fruit wine. General Lian held chopsticks in one hand and a wine glass in the other, eating happily.
Hearing the sound of pushing the door open, General Lian did not stop or raise his head: "Who dares to make trouble, I can't spare him today!"
