    Chen Ying'er and the Qin family agreed on the marriage date of their children.  On June 11, the day before the wedding, Chen Ying'er sent someone to the Qin Mansion to move the dowry, commonly known as "moving to marry".  Qin Zheng was an upright official. If he hadn't been married to the Chen family, his daughter's dowry would have been nothing more than room furniture and daily necessities; the soap business was making a fortune, so Chen Xu would certainly not treat his father-in-law and his family badly.  The family had plenty of money, so Qin Zheng certainly couldn't let his daughter go wrong. Mrs. Liu put a lot of gold and silver jewelry in the worship box. She had everything she wanted to eat, wear, and use. The generous dowry was enough for a well-to-do family in the capital to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime.  .  Chen Xu held his chin and looked at the furnished new house. What interested him the most was the wedding bed - the Baibu Bed.  The bed has three entrances and occupies half of the room. It has a rolling canopy above and steps below. In front of the steps, there is a verandah composed of carved pillars and hanging and eaves flower canopies.  On the right side of the verandah is a small kitchen with two buckets and two doors, which is used to place vases, tea sets, lampstands and other items. On the right side is a toilet box, where private items such as toilets are placed; the second half is the bed, which is decorated with carvings.  Door covers, hanging straps, pillows, and painted screens surround the bed on three sides.  Tables and stools were placed inside, and people walked in as if they had entered a small room. It was private, comfortable, and more importantly, warm in winter and cool in summer. Chen Xu finally understood why Mengyao had to wait until the wedding night before she was willing to sacrifice herself. Lying in such a  Isn't it more exciting in bed than sneaking around?  I will build a bed like this for my mother in a few days, Chen Xu thought silently.  Before going out, Chen Xu found a small bird-like sculpture hanging under the eaves of the bed.  "What is this for? The workmanship is quite fine." Chen Xu held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. He was puzzled and couldn't help but ask Xi Niang.  Xi Niang blasted him out with a half-smile.  On June 12, the day of the wedding, Liu¡¯s natal sister-in-law made a visit to the bride.  The so-called face-opening is to use two silk threads to twist the hair on the bride's forehead. This means that the girl's time is over and she will be a married woman in the future.  Mengyao let her aunt take care of her, then painted her eyebrows and combed her hair, while the maid Xing'er did the work. Looking at the phoenix crown and harem on the table, she sincerely sighed that the young lady looked really good-looking.  When the young lady gets married, she will also serve her uncle. Thinking about Chen Xu's appearance and temperament, she is even more excited than Mengyao.  Chen Xu was dressed as a groom, with a red embroidery ball tied on his chest, and he rode a white horse with a red hydrangea ball tied on the horse's head. This is probably how the legend of Prince Charming came about.  Chen Xu personally welcomed him, and in addition to the matchmaker and Xi Niang, he was accompanied by Yang Yunrui, Feng Che and their family members. They were all young men and women of similar age, chatting and laughing in a lively manner.  Feng Qing mingled in the crowd. She looked at Chen Xu on the horse with some obsession. Thinking that he would marry her dressed like this someday, her face couldn't help but have a few wisps of blush, feeling both shy and expectant.  A group of people came to the Qin Mansion in a mighty manner. The door of the mansion was closed tightly. Chen Xu stuffed red envelopes in the cracks of the door. The relatives of the Qin family just opened the door and set off firecrackers to welcome the groom.  When Chen Xu walked into the door, Xiaozheng Tai Qin Guan pulled Chen Xu's sleeve and asked him for wedding money. Chen Xu gave him a silver coin. The little guy smiled happily. After running two steps, he turned back and said that his uncle said too little.  He still needs it.  The uncle Qin Guan mentioned covered his face and did not dare to see anyone. Chen Xu smiled and stuffed another ingot of silver.  The relatives and friends of the Qin family looked at him with some envy. Qin Zheng held an important position, and now he had such a wealthy uncle. They became more and more determined that they could not alienate such a relative, and they would have to visit him often in the future.  The bride sat in a sedan chair carried by eight people. Before getting on the sedan chair, Mengyao hugged Mrs. Liu and cried, but the cry was more of joy than sadness. Relatives and friends watched her cry with smiles. Only Xiaozheng Taiqin  Guan pulled her sister's red wedding dress and said seriously, "Sister doesn't want to leave, so my brother will marry you." Mengyao didn't know how to respond, so Mrs. Liu quickly asked someone to take Qin Guan away, and Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief.  The sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the Chen residence. Chen Xu knew it was his turn to carry the bride to the door of the house.  The day before the wedding, Chen Xu asked Xi Niang why she was like this. Xi Niang smiled and told him that if the couple quarreled after the wedding, the daughter-in-law could claim that "it's not the other person who came to the door, it was you who carried her in."  Chen Xu suddenly realized that the bridegroom had dug holes to bury himself.  Before Mengyao got off the sedan chair, Xiniang opened a red umbrella in front of the congratulators.  This umbrella is different from the oil-paper umbrellas that other people use. It is folded. If Xi Niang hadn't opened it, none of them would have thought that this thing less than half a foot was actually an umbrella.  The red silk umbrella is printed with the pattern of "Heavenly Match". It is exquisite in appearance and exquisite in workmanship, especially the arc supported by the ribs. The onlookers all admired it. They even asked each other where they bought this red umbrella and what it was.  It¡¯s not Zhiyutang¡¯s stuff, etc.  Chen Xu carried Mengyao to the door of the house, Mengyao stepped over the brazier, and they walked to the hall. After a short rest, they performed the worship ceremony.  After paying homage to heaven and earth and to the high hall, Chen Xu didn't expect that Zhou Qian was also present. At this time, the house was packed with guests, so he couldn't say much.  Zhou Qian is, after all,As his biological father, there is nothing wrong with paying homage to him. Thinking of this, after serving tea to his mother, Chen Xu handed the tea into Zhou Qian's hand.  Zhou Qian was quite excited. Even if Chen Xu was reluctant, in the eyes of the guests, he was still the master of the Chen family, even though his surname was Zhou.  The couple bowed to each other and sent Mengyao into the bridal chamber after the ceremony. At this moment, the imperial edict arrived.  When Chen Xu got married, the emperor sent people to congratulate him. Although there was no congratulatory gift, the roll of yellow silk cloth was better than a congratulatory gift. This was a supreme honor in the eyes of others, not to mention that the emperor also named Chen Xu a general of military virtue.  The emperor's favor was so great that the guests looked at Chen Xu differently, fearing that their gifts were too light.  Zhou Qian was even more disappointed. Who would have thought that his silly son would achieve what he does today?  He was very lucky to have the shamelessness to come and drink that cup of tea today. From now on, he would be considered a general's father.  Chen Xu looked at Mengyao and then at his mother who was secretly wiping away her tears. He felt a little heavy.  General Wu De, although he has no power and no position, is a casual official, but there is a saying that no merit will be rewarded. What is the deep meaning of the emperor's move?  The eunuch who delivered the order had just left, and the prince and his father-in-law sent people to send congratulatory gifts. Chen Xu greeted him and invited guests for a banquet. The eldest son of the Jianning Marquis Mansion and Dong Xian of the Jianyue Sect came hand in hand, and each presented a congratulatory gift. They congratulated Chen Xu.  Xu congratulated him on his wedding and was awarded the title of general.  Chen Xu was calmly socializing, but he was extremely wary. How could a weasel give a rooster a New Year greeting? How could it be so kind?  Yang Yunrui and Feng Che came up to help greet them. Although the possibility of them making excuses to cause trouble was unlikely, they had to be careful The banquet began, and Chen Xu and Mengyao went to the table to toast.  The newlyweds drank rice wine mixed with water, which was not very strong but could quench their thirst. After a round of drinking, Chen Xu did not blush or feel dizzy. He just wanted to go to the toilet. Of course, this idea could not be put into practice.  After the wine and the bridal chamber, the guests left. After Chen Xu picked up the hijab on Mengyao's head with a scale tied with red silk and took off the phoenix crown, Xi Niang congratulated her and exited the room door and closed it gently.  "Miss Yue, Miss Xing'er, just stay outside." Hearing Xi Niang's voice, Chen Xu looked at Mengyao's red face. He didn't expect that there was someone listening to Qiang Gen. He looked at Mengyao's dowry  The sound insulation effect of this Baibu bed may be good.  ¡°Mr.  Chen Xu was about to get up, but after hearing this, he sat back down on the bed. He called her "Madam" and hugged her for a kiss.  Mengyao was panting, and Chen Xu stretched out his hand to untie her shirt. Mengyao suddenly said: "Ms. sir I want to want to relieve myself." Chen Xu was slightly stunned. Mengyao's words seemed to remind him, and he felt anxious and burst out like a mountain spring.  : "I want to go too, let's solve it together." Mengyao was so embarrassed that Chen Xu used the excuse of bolting the door to give Mengyao some private space. When he walked to the door, he found a small hole in the door, and there was something hidden outside the hole.  With a pair of eyes, following the gaze of the outsider, Chen Xu happened to see the small bird-like carving hanging under the eaves of the bed. Thinking of Xiniang's expression yesterday, he nodded with understanding*  ***************************************************  *******The update was shamelessly interrupted yesterday.
