Three Five Five Wedding
……

The emperor emeritus ultimately did not survive the New Year.

The main reason was that Jia Jing felt that he was of no use and stopped giving him medicine.

“Thief Jia Jing! Thief Jia Jing!”

The retired emperor roared twice in anger to the sky, then passed away unwillingly.

Emperor Anping’s already weak body was hit hard and he almost died with him. Fortunately, his strong unwillingness drove him to survive tenaciously. He wanted to see with his own eyes that Jia Jing, who had plotted to usurp the throne, would be disgraced and despised by everyone!
But his wish was destined to be in vain.

The moment he saw the new laws of Daxia, Emperor Anping spat out blood.

“Jia Jing, little boy!”

“How dare you, how dare you…”

“puff!”

After another mouthful of blood, Emperor Anping stretched out his legs and fell on the Dengxian Pavilion.

On the first day of the new year, he went to the underworld to meet his father.

Of course, Emperor Anping’s imperial tomb had not been completed yet, but his father, the retired emperor, had spent seven million yuan to build the Mausoleum of Emperor Huan, which was like an underground palace, just the right place for him to live in and reunite with the retired emperor and his son.

The two emperors passed away together within a few days, but the court was not greatly affected. According to Jia Jing’s suggestion, the whole country would observe mourning for three months after the emperor’s death.

The new emperor ascended the throne.

The Fourth Prince simply changed his clothes and went through the Huangji Palace, which marked the completion of the transition from the old to the new.

Changing the reign title is a big deal.

After many days of discussion, the cabinet finally decided on a new era name:
midsummer..

……

In a blink of an eye, the three-month period of national mourning has passed, and time has come to April when the grass is green and the birds are singing.

Because banquets and entertainment were prohibited throughout the country during the national mourning period, the New Year festival was not fully enjoyed, so this day was particularly lively. Many families set off firecrackers and set up banquets to celebrate in order to make up for the regrets of the New Year.

But the most lively event was the wedding of the Prince of Ning and the daughter of the Right Prime Minister. This was a true match made in heaven, with a talented man and a beautiful woman.
I don’t know how many young men and women are envious to death.

The streets of Kyoto were deserted and the entire Ningrong Street was surrounded by crowds of people.

From three-year-old children to eighty-year-old old ladies, everyone came to watch the wedding of Prince Ning and the Prime Minister’s daughter.

Lin Ruhai prepared a ten-mile-long red dowry and thousands of dowry bearers for his daughter’s wedding. The people carrying the dowry lined up from the gate of Lin’s mansion to the gate of Prince Ning’s mansion.

Prince Ning’s Mansion.

When the wedding is going on…

“Worship heaven and earth.”

“Two thanks to the high hall.”

“Husband and wife bow to each other.”

“Sent into the bridal chamber…”

“It’s the bridal chamber!”

A group of aunts started to make a fuss, especially Xichun, who almost wanted to go into the bridal chamber and make some noise, but fortunately she was stopped by Yuanchun and Tanchun.

“Can we secretly watch from outside?” Xichun blinked and said quietly.

Yingchun felt embarrassed and blushed, “It’s not good to peek. What if we get caught?”

Tanchun: “…”

You really want to see it?

I didn’t expect that my normally serious second sister would have such an indecent thought? !
“Let’s go!” Yuanchun pushed the three of them away and said with a smile, “Don’t be curious now. You will know what’s inside when you get married.”

The three of them finally ran away, covering their faces in shame.

……

Jia Rong drank a little too much today.

Originally he had great control over himself, but later on, somehow, he became carried away by the compliments and accepted all of them, so much so that he had to be helped into the bridal chamber by a maid.

“Master, are you okay?” Xiao Xiao asked in a low voice.

“Of course, I’m definitely not drunk!” Jia Rong said confidently.

“Hey, do you have any hangover soup?” Xiaoxiao asked Zijuan who was serving inside.

“Yes, I have prepared it a long time ago.”

Zijuan hurriedly brought the sobering soup to Jia Rong and helped him drink it.

After a while, although Jia Rong was still a little dizzy, he felt a little better. He glanced into the inner room where red candles were shining brightly. Lin Daiyu was sitting upright on the bed, covered with a red veil with a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

I don’t know what it means to look so shy.

“Okay, you guys go out.”

Jia Rong urged Xiaoxiao and Zijuan to leave quickly.

A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold.

“Just when it’s done, you’re going to chase people away?”

The two of them pouted, not very satisfied.

Isn’t this just destroying the bridge after crossing it?

“What? Are you planning to stay and spend the bridal chamber together?” Jia Rong asked seriously.

“Ah…no.”

“We’re leaving now.”

The two of them hurried out and locked the door with a click.

Jia Rong smiled slightly, walked in and reached out to lift the red veil on the young lady’s head.

It turned out to be Aunt Lin whom I had been thinking about day and night recently… Lin Daiyu’s eyes were filled with emotion, and she opened her cherry lips slightly: “You, why are you using your hands?”

Jia Rong: “If not hands, what can we use?”

Lin Daiyu: “Isn’t there a jade ruyi?”

Jia Rong glanced at Yu Ruyi and said with a smile, “Can Yu Ruyi compare to my hand?”

Lin Daiyu was puzzled: “What?”

“Nothing.” Jia Rong said solemnly, “A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold coins, aunt, let’s take a rest.”

“Bah, say that again!”

“Good aunt.”

“You! If you say that again I’m going to…” Lin Daiyu pretended to be angry.

“Ma’am, okay?”

“Ok!”

Lin Daiyu then nodded shyly: “…Husband.”

“Madam, can we…” Jia Rong said as he placed his hand on Lin Daiyu’s waist and began to caress it.

“No.”

Lin Daiyu grabbed Jia Rong’s hand and glanced at the table: “Nanny has told me to drink the wine.”

It’s the wedding wine.

Of course Jia Rong knew.

“Then eat quickly!”

Jia Rong brought the wine glasses over, took one for himself and gave one to Lin Daiyu.

“Are you not drunk anymore?” Lin Daiyu sneered, holding the wine glass.

“I was actually pretending just now. Let’s get started now.”

“Ah.”

Lin Daiyu shyly agreed, and the two of them clasped their wrists and drank the whole glass in one gulp.

Lin Daiyu couldn’t hold her liquor well, and her face turned red after just one glass.

“It’s okay now.”

Jia Rong felt hot all over.

“Well, we have to wait a little longer.”

“I’m going to take my makeup off.”

Lin Daiyu pushed Jia Rong away, sat in front of the mirror, and took off her phoenix crown, hairpins, and earrings bit by bit. Her hands made a jingling sound, and the table was filled with them.

“Oh, it’s finally lighter.” Lin Daiyu said as she let her hair fall behind her and stretched.

“I can make it lighter for you,” said Jia Rong.

“what!”

Lin Daiyu felt herself spinning and found herself being carried horizontally. She quickly grabbed Jia Rong’s arm and buried her face in his arms, her heart pounding.

I also remembered my father’s intentional or unintentional reminder before I left: The burden of expanding the Ning and Lin families lies on you, Yu’er, you have to… do your best!

“Brother Rong…”

Lin Daiyu lay on the bed, looking at Jia Rong with affectionate eyes, her cheeks flushed.

Jia Rong: “What’s the matter?”

“I want a child!”

After saying this, Lin Daiyu quickly pulled the quilt next to her and covered her face with it.

Thousands of words are omitted here.

To know what happened, please move on, book friends, and read my new book in a few days, hehe…

The next morning.

The bright sunshine shines through the window and falls on the curtains, soft and quiet.

Both of them opened their eyes at the same time.

Lin Daiyu was still a little dazed.

Jia Rong stretched out his arms and embraced her, saying with pity, “My lady, you were exhausted last night. Let’s sleep a little longer.”

Lin Daiyu finally woke up at this time. She stretched out her hand to tuck her messy hair. She felt sore all over. She glanced at Jia Rong and said angrily, “Can’t you be gentler… Are you deliberately bullying me?”

Jia Rong smiled and said, “No, I just saw that you were too delicate, so I couldn’t help it. Does it still hurt?”

“What do you think? Of course it hurts.” Lin Daiyu frowned and said, “How am I going to serve tea to the grandfather and the old ancestor later?”

“Then go later.”

“Shall I show you first?”

“Ah, no.”

“Go out and call Zijuan.”

Perhaps he heard someone talking in the room, and the door opened with a creak.

Xiangling, Qingwen, Zijuan and Xueyan walked in carefully, carrying basins of water and towels.

“Greetings to the prince.” “Greetings to the madam.”

Jia Rong looked at Lin Daiyu with a smile.

Lin Daiyu nodded slightly and said with a smile, “Forget it, Zijuan, take the red envelope and divide it among Qingwen and Xiangling.”

Several people hurriedly bowed: “Thank you, Madam.”

Xueyan asked anxiously, “Madam, what about me?”

Lin Daiyu asked, “What about yours?”

Xueyan then bowed with a smile on her face: “Thank you, Miss… Madam.”

“Okay.”

Lin Daiyu waved her hand and said, “Qingwen, Xiangling, Xueyan, the three of you go and help me change my clothes and wash up. Zijuan, come here for a moment.”

“Girl, what’s the matter?”

Lin Daiyu whispered, “Go get me the ointment that Mother Li prepared… I need it.”

Zijuan: “Ah?!”

Lin Daiyu: “Ah what? Go quickly.”

Zijuan: “Oh, wait a moment, girl.”

……

Kyoto, Xue Mansion.

Xue Li is preparing for Baoqin’s marriage. Because of the presence of the Lin family, although he has prepared a dowry of tens of millions, he dare not give it all out.

“Qin’er, although you can only take one million as a dowry, I have deposited the remaining nine million in Huiyun Bank for you. Just go and take it when you need it. In fact, the entire bank belongs to our Xue family. You can have as much as you want.”

Baoqin smiled and said, “Dad, I really don’t need that much…”

Xue Li said: “Of course you can’t use it, but what about your future son or daughter? Keep it just in case.”

“OK then.”

Baoqin had no choice but to agree as she couldn’t disobey her father’s order.

……

Three years later.

“Mom, when will Dad come back? I miss him so much!”

A little kid with a baby voice pulled Lin Daiyu’s skirt and shook it non-stop, acting coquettishly.

Lin Daiyu looked towards the south.

Jia Rong went to Jinling to preside over the provincial examination. August 15th was the day when the examiners were busy marking the papers, so he would definitely not be able to come back.

“Don’t worry, Xuanxuan, Daddy will be home soon, and when he does, Mommy will ask him to ride your horse!”

“Great!”

Xiao Xuanxuan clapped his hands happily.

At this moment, a maid suddenly ran over and said to Lin Daiyu, “The second wife is about to give birth!”

Baoqin is about to give birth?
Lin Daiyu hurriedly said, “Take me there quickly… Zijuan, please keep an eye on Xuanxuan.”

“Okay, girl.”

Zijuan quickly picked up Xuanxuan and coaxed him with a smile, “Xuanxuan, sister will take you to eat candied haws!”

“Eat candy, eat candy!”

Xuanxuan opened his eyes wide, clapped his hands happily, and his drool flowed onto Zijuan’s clothes.

“It’s a baby girl!”

The midwife brought the baby out for everyone to see.

Jia Jing stroked his beard lightly, nodded and smiled.

In just two or three years, Jia Rong had already given birth to a son and a daughter, which was a good omen.

There will definitely be many children and grandchildren in the future.

“reward!”

Inside the house.

Baoqin was not very happy when she learned that she had given birth to a daughter.

“Sister Lin, I… am not doing my best.”

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, “How can I not be ambitious? As for our eldest daughter, we have to wait for my husband to come back and personally give her a good name.”

Baoqin said weakly, “Will my husband be unhappy?”

Lin Daiyu said, “No, have you forgotten? My husband told us that he loved his daughter the most. Xuanxuan sighed for several days at that time.”

Baoqin felt better at last, and saw the wet nurse holding her daughter over. Although her face was wrinkled, she had pretty features and looked quite similar to Jia Rong.

I felt even happier in my heart.

Lin Daiyu took the child and said with a smile, “He really looks like Rong’er.”

The nurse laughed and said, “Daughters are more like their fathers, and boys are more like their mothers.”

Lin Daiyu said, “That’s right, Xuanxuan is more like me.”

To be precise, Xuanxuan inherited more genes from the Lin family and looked very much like Lin Ruhai, which made Lin Ruhai so happy that he came to see him more than three times a day.

……

Jinling, Ye Mansion.

A five-year-old boy sat upright at the desk, looking like a little teacher.

“The Master said: A gentleman has nothing to contend with. He must be archery! He rises with courtesy and yields to others, and drinks with others. His contending is that of a gentleman.”

“Zixia asked: “She has a charming smile and beautiful eyes…”

“Good! Good!”

Ye Xiang clapped his hands excitedly.

He learned to read at the age of three, and could recite “The Analects of Confucius” and “Mencius” word for word at the age of five.

It’s simply genius!
With his careful guidance, he will surely become a top scholar in the future!

I, Ye Gao, finally have a successor!
“Sirong, it’s time to eat.”

In front of the archway in the back garden, a woman with a high bun and a gentle face waved towards this side.

The young teacher stopped reading immediately.

“Grandfather, mother called me to eat.”

“Go ahead and eat more.”

Ye Xianghan looked at his eldest grandson with a smile. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him.

Perhaps the only thing I don’t like is the name of my eldest grandson.

Ye Sirong…

Jia Rong, you little bastard!

He cheated on his daughter!
Now that he has arrived in Jinling, he doesn’t even show up.

……

Jinling, Imperial Examination Hall.

Tomorrow is the day when the results will be announced, and everyone is working overtime tonight to write the list and call out the names.

121st place in the Nanzhili provincial examination: Sun Ziyue from Jinling Prefecture.

Ranked 120th in the Nanzhili Provincial Examination…

Jia Rong, the chief examiner, sat at the top, listening to the clerks calling out the names of the candidates, but his mind was not here.

Baoqin should have given birth by now, right?

Not sure if it’s a boy or a girl?

Will Xuanxuan forget me as his father?

The tenth place in the Nanzhili provincial examination was Qin Zhong from Jiangning Prefecture.

A voice brought Jia Rong back to reality.

Qin Zhong?

Is that Qin Zhong?

“Bring Qin Zhong’s paper to me.”

Jia Rong suddenly said something.

Everyone was stunned, and the clerk hurriedly presented Qin Zhong’s paper.

“President, please take a look.”

Jia Rong mainly looked at Qin Zhong’s resume.

It turned out to be Qin Ye’s son, Qin Zhong.

The prodigal son has returned.

not simple.

“Boss, is there something wrong?”

Deputy examiner Wang Wensheng asked.

Jia Rong shook his head: “No, go on.”

Three days later.

The newly-appointed candidates paid obeisance to their teacher in the hall and a Deer Singing Banquet was held.

Qin Zhong bowed deeply from a distance: “Student, hello teacher.”

“No gift.”

Jia Rong smiled and nodded: “Your article is good, which shows that you have studied hard in the past few years. You need to continue to work hard in the future and strive to pass the imperial examination next year.”

“The student will study hard and live up to the teacher’s expectations.” Qin Zhong quickly bowed again.

The Luming Banquet lasted until sunset.

As the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall slowly closed, Jia Rong and other examiners left the place where they had lived for a month.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Jia Rong prepared to visit the Qinhuai River and enjoy the night view.

Stay one night by the way.

We will set off back to Beijing tomorrow morning.

Before I even reached the Qinhuai River, I actually met an acquaintance.

“Brother Jia, long time no see.”
