The wedding date of Cheng Shu and Kou Wan was set in late autumn. They were originally worried that Cheng Zhiyuan, who was far away from overseas, would not be able to attend the wedding in time due to his uncertain return date. Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhiyuan came back in June, the hottest day of the year.

During this overseas trip, not only did the tea and silk from Da Zhou be exchanged for a large amount of gold and silver, but also overseas spices, treasures and other items were shipped back.

These goods were very popular with wealthy people. Since Cheng Zhiyuan represented the government, all the money from the sales was moved into the national treasury.

Since Qi Shuo became the crown prince, he has taken on the important task of supervising the country. Emperor Tai'an only intervened and made decisions on particularly important matters, and spent the rest of his time taking good care of his health. When he knew that Cheng Zhiyuan was back, Emperor Tai'an not only cheered up for a meeting, but also took care of himself.

He also asked Qi Shuo to accompany him to see with his own eyes the treasury filled with gold and silver.

There are actually detailed account books in the Ministry of Accounts. You can tell whether the treasury is full or empty by looking through it. But can looking at the account books have the same feeling as seeing a mountain of silver?

Emperor Tai'an's treasury had been empty for a long time, and when he was hit by the white money, he was overjoyed to give Cheng Zhiyuan an official position and a knighthood.

As a result, more people want Cheng Zhiyuan to be their son-in-law.

These people all knew that the person who could make the decision for Cheng Zhiyuan was the old lady of the Lin family. At that time, the threshold of the General's Mansion was broken several times.

The old lady called Lin and Cheng Zhiyuan over, patted a pile of posts and asked, "What should we do with these? Do you have any ideas?"

Last year, when his adopted son left Beijing, she noticed how his daughter caught up with him and sent him something. After that, each letter from his adopted son became thicker and thicker, and they were all addressed to his daughter.

Now that they are back, these two people don't say a word about serious matters. What does it mean?

"I, I listen to Wan Qing." Cheng Zhiyuan, who was shrewd and capable when dealing with Westerners, was like a young boy at this time and looked at Lin nervously.

Mrs. Lin glanced at him, feeling a little embarrassed: "I listen to my mother."

The old lady smiled: "Then I can randomly pick one from this pile of posts? Anyway, they are all good."

"Mother!"

Cheng Zhiyuan was even more anxious: "Foster mother, I don't want to marry anyone except Wanqing!"

Mrs. Lin's face became slightly hot and she became silent.

The old lady was completely relieved and asked puzzledly: "You are no longer teenagers. Now that you know each other's thoughts, how come you have become a saw-mouthed gourd?"

This time it was Mrs. Lin who spoke: "Shu'er is getting married soon. We decided to do this suddenly because we were afraid they would make people laugh -"

She didn't care what the world said, but she always thought about Shu'er and the Kou girl.

The old lady looked at Cheng Zhiyuan again, and Cheng Zhiyuan still had a naive smile on his face: "No matter what you do, I will listen to Wanqing."

The old lady snorted: "I think you two are fans of the authorities. Now that the emperor values ​​Zhiyuan very much, and he doesn't have to have a lot of leisure in the court, are you not afraid that he will suddenly act as a matchmaker for Zhiyuan? You guys should make up your mind as soon as possible.

Ignore what others think, if Shu'er happens to have parents to worship when she gets married, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Cheng Zhiyuan suddenly stood up and bowed deeply: "Foster mother, my child wants to marry Wanqing. Please grant me permission."

Mrs. Lin looked at the old lady and her adopted brother, and also stood up.

The old lady looked at the two people standing side by side and couldn't help but smile: "I agreed."

Cheng Zhiyuan was remarried, and Lin was remarried. At this age, there was not so much coquettishness. They quickly went through the six ceremonies according to the rules and got married in early August.

There was no big fuss about the wedding, and only the closest people were invited. After hearing the news, various mansions sent congratulatory gifts one after another, filling the main courtyard of Ruichang Bo Mansion to the brim.

Ruichang Bo was Cheng Zhiyuan's title. Emperor Tai'an was very thoughtful and granted him a house not far from the general's palace.

At the wedding scene, Lin Chan couldn't help but have red eyes as she looked at her mother who was bowing to the old lady. Han Baocheng hurriedly put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her.

The little girl, who was being held by the wet nurse, saw her father comforting her mother and opened her hands for a hug. However, none of the young parents paid attention. They were so aggrieved that they started to cry.

Seeing her sister and brother-in-law busy coaxing the child, Lin Hao, who had red eyes, smiled, and when he returned to the East Palace, he said to Qi Shuo: "Eldest sister's Zhuzhu is eight months old, and she is indeed much more handsome than when she was born.

"

At least now her mother praises her granddaughter for her heavenly beauty, and she can reluctantly nod along.

"My mother and uncle - my father are both still young, maybe I can still be a sister." Lin Hao was obviously in a good mood. After talking about her niece, she then talked about her newly married mother.

It turns out that as long as people live well, they will have unexpected possibilities and unexpected happiness.

One hand reached out and took her into his arms.

"Maybe before becoming a sister, you can become a mother first."

The people in the palace all lowered their eyes, thinking that it was coming again, it was coming again, the prince and the princess began to show off their affection without shame!

The red silk in Ruichang's residence was replaced with new silk before it faded. Compared with the simple wedding of Lin and Cheng Zhiyuan, the wedding of Cheng Shu and Kou Wan was grand.

The Queen Mother's death was well known to the Marquis Weiwu, and from then on he kept his tail between his legs. What he was most worried about was that something would happen to Kou Wan's marriage.

Fortunately, everything went well, and the Weiwu Hou Mansion was particularly lucky and increased Kou Wan's dowry by 30%.

The city was covered with yellow leaves, the maple forest was red, and Shili Hongzhuang entered the Ruichang Mansion. There were so many guests attending the wedding that they could hardly sit down.

Jinlin Guard Commander Cheng Maoming came with Du Qing.

Looking at Cheng Shu, who was wearing red wedding clothes and toasting table after table, Cheng Maoming was filled with emotions.

He used to be very fond of this young man with the same surname, and even considered adopting him as his adopted son. Unexpectedly, his father not only came back, but he also had a mother and a girl who would become a princess!

Thinking like this, Cheng Maoming glanced at Du Qing, who was sitting next to him and eating his food.

This kid is out of luck.

Du Qing frowned.

What does Governor Cheng look like?

Cheng Shu walked over, accompanied by Han Baocheng and Qi Shuo.

That's all for Han Baocheng. What kind of treatment does the prince get when he joins the toast?

At every table, people stood up quickly without waiting for anyone to approach them. Not only did they not dare to coax the groom into drinking, they also drank with great pleasure themselves.

Amidst the congratulations, Qi Shuo raised his glass to Cheng Maoming, then took a deep look at Du Qing, and then followed Cheng Shu to the next table.

Cheng Maoming was immediately elated.

The prince really treated him differently!

At the beginning, he discovered that Prince Jing was his lucky star, but he did not expect that even greater blessings would come later. Prince Jing actually became the crown prince!

With his personal relationship with the prince, he no longer had to worry that the new emperor would be kicked out of the throne in the future.

The commander of the Jinlin Guards drank too much at the wedding banquet of the Prince of Ruichang, Cheng Shu, and began to sing and sing. He was carried away by a young subordinate. It is said that it was because he had chosen Cheng Shu as his son-in-law, and he felt uncomfortable.

.

After Cheng Maoming sobered up, he was very embarrassed when he heard the rumor: "If you have the same surname and don't get married, how can anyone believe this rumor?"

Du Qing reminded expressionlessly: "Maybe it's because you sing Daoma Dan?"

Cheng Maoming became angry: "Why didn't you stop me then?"

Jin Linwei, who heard the governor's scolding outside, was not even curious about what to do.

I have long been used to it. No matter how angry the governor is, he will never punish the related household!

The sweet days passed quickly, and it was getting colder, and it was time for Cheng Zhi to cross the ocean again.

This time it is expected that the departure will be longer, so that the official caravan can completely establish itself overseas.

It was still the same pier. There were more people seeing off Lin Chan and Kou Wan. In addition to Cheng Zhiyuan, the people being sent off were also Lin.

Looking at her daughter and son-in-law who bowed down, the old lady felt reluctant to give up, but she was sincerely happy for them: "It is a good thing to follow Zhiyuan to see the local customs and customs overseas. It has a wider eye and a wider heart. It is better than staying in the capital all your life. Don't wait any longer.

Go ahead."

"Mother, you must take care of yourself." Mrs. Lin is usually careless, but at this time she couldn't help but shed tears.

Lin Chan advised softly: "Mom, don't worry, my sister and I are here."

Lin Hao was not as reserved as Lin Chan, so she rushed over and hugged Mrs. Lin: "Mom, take care of yourself when you go out. Remember to write back when you encounter something new and interesting."

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Lin suddenly felt less sad. She held the hands of her two daughters and gave them a few words of instruction. Then she kowtowed to the old lady and slowly boarded the ship hand in hand with Cheng Zhiyuan.

The newly rising autumn sun filled the river surface, and the vast flowing river was flowing with broken gold. The boat moved, riding the wind and waves, getting smaller and smaller as it went away, and finally disappeared at the junction of sky and water. Even if Lin Hao stood on tiptoe, he could not see anything.

Can't see it anymore.

It was only then that her heart was completely filled with sorrow and envy.

I was reluctant to leave my mother across the ocean and not be able to see each other for a long time. I also envied my mother for having the rare and precious freedom after all the hardships.

Qi Shuo held Lin Hao's hand and promised softly: "Ah Hao, in the future, I will also take you to visit overseas."

After a moment of silence, Lin Hao's lips raised slightly: "Okay."

Even if we can't, as long as we stay the same as before, that's fine.
