Zhong Niangzi Wanfu

Chapter 18
一
After arriving at Taiming Pier, Qi Cheng and the others parted ways with several others.

Zhong Lan and his party arrived at Shen's house safely, worshiped heaven and earth with Shen Feng, and were sent to the bridal chamber.

After the two of them drank Hexin wine and cut each other's black hair, everyone continued to quarrel around for a while, but Shen Feng accepted them with a smile and did not let anyone embarrass Zhong Lan.

After everything was done, Wen Yi took Shen Feng out to drink.

Wen Shu helped Zhong Lan sit down, adjusted the hem of her wedding dress, and said happily: "As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the Shen family was decorated very grandly. The red silk, candles and lanterns made it clear that it was the royal capital." The best quality goods. The Shen family values ​​you so much, so you and I can rest assured."

Zhong Lan smiled after hearing this, with a girlish shyness on her face.

"You are married to Shen Feng, and I have nothing to give you." Wen Shu took out a few deeds from her sleeves and handed them to Zhong Lan, "These are the shops under my name in Qin Lincheng. They belong to you."

Zhong Lan looked at the name on the deed, his eyes shining: "Beauty Wen is so generous and thoughtful."

Wen Shu pursed her lips: "When Wen Yi takes over as Taiming, the Shen family's uncle and aunt will naturally help. You and Shen Feng are going to Tan Lin, and the You family is in Tan Lin. With You Hanting's attitude today, I'm afraid I have to give it to you." If you can’t find it happily, what will you do then?”

Zhong Lan was speechless for a moment and smiled: "The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it with the earth."

"There is really nothing you can do. Remember to write to me and I will help you." Wen Shu patted Zhong Lan's hand and said, "You Hanting is really disgusting."

Zhong Lan burst into laughter for a moment.

"When you have a child in the future, you will ask me to be the child's godmother." Wen Shu said with a smile, "I will give him a big gift when the time comes."

"Beautiful Wen is rich and powerful. When the time comes, I will bring my child to join you. Let the three of us live together." Zhong Yan pulled Wen Shu to laugh.

Wen Shu suddenly became proud, raised her head and waved her hand: "No problem!"

Wen Shu didn't go to the banquet because she was accompanying Zhong Lan, so Wen Yi had some cakes brought over.The two girls ate exquisite pastries and chatted, and the sky gradually darkened.

"Miss, it's getting late, and the second master is urging you to go back home." Yun Le entered the room and said to Wen Shu.

"It's getting late, I have to go back," Wen Shu smiled and took Zhong Lan's hand, her eyes suddenly red.

The two have had the same temperament since they were young. Once Zhong Lan got married, he would go to Tan Lin with Shen Feng to take office.This time I say goodbye and I don’t know when we will see each other next time.

"Why are you crying?" Zhong Lan's eyes were also covered with mist. "If you miss me, you can still come to Qinlin to see me. I will also go to Yong'an."

Wen Shu nodded heavily and laughed quickly: "Today is your big day, so you can't cry."

"I'm leaving, you have to be well."

"I will, I will."

two

Because Yong'an is not close to Taiming, Wen Shu and Wen Yi were the first to leave among the guests.

The banquet outside was not over yet. Zhong Lan had a cup of tea and gradually calmed down.

It wasn't until the night got darker that the voices of the guests outside gradually became quieter.

The door was pushed open gently, making Zhong Lan nervous.

Shen Feng walked into the room, followed by several boys carrying three large boxes.

"You have nothing to do here, take the people down." Shen Feng strolled to the case and poured a cup of tea.

"You just had so much wine with Mr. Wen, are you really not drunk? Let me make you a bowl of sobering soup." Jiang Liu, the young man beside Shen Feng, hesitated and advised.

"I didn't, you can go." Shen Feng waved his hand, with a hint of irritation in his usually gentle tone.

Jiang Liu could only nod: "The little one will retreat."

Shen Feng glanced at Chang Huan who was next to Zhong Lan: "It's been a hard day taking care of your girl. Follow Jiang Liu to receive the reward."

"Thank you, uncle." Chang Huan smiled at Zhong Lan when he saw this, "Miss, that slave has also withdrawn."

"Hey," Zhong Yan glanced at Shen Feng, feeling a little uncomfortable. He was about to call Chang Huan, but he met Shen Feng's smiling eyes and had to keep silent.

Zhong Lan and Shen Feng were the only two people left in the room. Zhong Lan pointed to the three big boxes: "What are these?"

"Open it and take a look." Shen Feng took a sip of tea and smiled.

Zhong Lan was curious and stepped forward to open the box. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly opened the other two boxes. Without exception, they were all filled with money and banknotes.

"The money given to the guests this time." Shen Feng looked at Zhong Lan's expression and said with a smile, "It's all under your control."

"Am I in charge?" Zhong Lan grabbed a handful of banknotes and asked in disbelief.

Shen Feng smiled and said nothing, and poured himself more tea.

Zhong Lan was unambiguous and began to count the banknotes in his hand.

Shen Feng was stunned for a moment, and said with a hint of resentment in his words: "That's not the main thing tonight, right?"

"This is my main business." Zhong Yan didn't even raise his head and devoted himself to it. "You can also help me." Shen Feng smiled and shook his head, but there were so many three boxes that it was already night. It was difficult to ask for help, so I had to step forward and help with some money.

Two hours later, the two finally counted out their share of the money.

"I checked three times in a row. It's more than 2000 taels, plus a house and a dozen shops!" Zhong Lan's eyes seemed to reflect countless copper coins.

Shen Feng couldn't help laughing: "No one will take it from you, just put it away."

The two of them struggled to carry the box to a corner and put it away.

Zhong Lan sat in front of the couch. After calming down, he quickly said: "You helped me get rid of the Qu family's marriage. I have to thank you."

Shen Feng took off his coat and hung it on the shelf. He turned around and said with a smile, "Thank me? How can you thank me?"

The thin inner clothes vaguely highlighted his edges and corners, and coupled with the flickering red candles and dim light, made everything hazy.

Zhong Lan was startled, and quickly stood up and laughed twice: "I guess you just went out to drink, so you must not be full. I'll make you something to eat. It's not okay to go to bed hungry."

"It's late at night, and the kitchen has been locked long ago." Shen Feng sat on the soft stool in front of the couch, leaning his head and looking at Zhong Lan at leisure.

"Then let me iron the clothes you wear tomorrow."

Shen Feng looked at the neat coats on the shelf and laughed for a moment: "It shouldn't be necessary."

"Then, then," Zhong Lan really couldn't find a suitable way to repay you, so he simply raised three fingers, "Then I promise you, I will make a grass ring in the future and work as a cow or a horse to repay you."

Shen Feng smiled lightly and looked at the flustered girl: "No matter what the situation was before, you would always calm down quickly. I have never seen you look like this before."

Zhong Lan was choked and speechless for a moment. The long skirt made it difficult to move. She was embarrassed to take it off at this time, so she had to sit back.

Shen Feng saw Zhong Lan's intention and stepped forward to take off her wedding crown: "This wedding dress is heavy and cumbersome. I must be tired after wearing it for a day."

"Actually, not really," before Zhong Lan finished speaking, Shen Feng took off her Xia Pei with a light movement.

Next is Wai Fuzi.

"I'll do it myself." Zhong Lan stood up in shock and walked to the clothes rack. He uncomfortably took off his clothes, leaving only his middle coat, and then stood at the clothes rack and hesitated for a long time.

Shen Feng sat on the edge of the couch and smiled gently: "You have been standing next to the clothes rack for a long time. Are you considerate of my hard work and specially left the entire bed to me?"

Zhong Lan took a deep breath, forced out a smile, pretended to be calm and walked back to the bed.

"Sit down." Shen Yan patted the bed beside him.

"Okay." Zhong Lan quickly sat down obediently, sitting upright with a little sweat on his forehead.

After the two were silent for a while, Shen Feng smiled helplessly, stood up and half-knelt in front of Zhong Lan, looking straight at the shy girl in front of him.

Faintly smelling some alcohol, Zhong Lan didn't dare to look at him, lowered his head and pushed Shen Jie's chest: "Are you drunk?"

"I didn't." Shen Feng gently held her hand on his chest, "Sister Lai, why don't you dare to look at me."

Zhong Lan's heart was beating fast, and she timidly raised her head to meet Shen Feng's burning eyes.

"That day you said that if I had a sweetheart in the future, you would go down to court and ask for it. But did you really mean it?"

Zhong Lan was a little uneasy, but nodded.

Shen Feng hugged Zhong Lan into his arms, rested his head on her shoulder, and whispered in her ear: "Why do you think I asked my mother to go to Wuding to propose marriage?"

"Why?"

"I won't tell." Shen Feng chuckled mischievously, and then hugged the girl in his arms tighter. The hot air mixed with the smell of alcohol blew onto Zhong Lan's ears, making her feel dazed for a while.

"You are the wife I married with three letters and six etiquettes, and carried a big sedan chair. The Shen family has never asked a daughter-in-law to come down to the court to ask for help. I will treat you well from now on, and we will live together forever, okay?"

Zhong Lan blushed with embarrassment, felt dizzy for a moment, and snorted softly.

Seeing that she agreed, Shen Feng carefully planted a kiss on Zhong Lan's lips and lay down with her in his arms.

In the stillness of the night, Zhong Lai's heartbeat became more obvious: "Shen, Shen Jie, it's been a long day, and I'm a little tired."

Shen Feng knew that she was scared and stopped moving. He smiled and said, "Then take a rest. I have to get up early tomorrow to greet my parents."

Zhong Lan breathed a sigh of relief knowing that he had escaped a disaster.

It's true that I want to hide, and it's true that I'm tired.After feeling reassured, sleepiness quickly came over him, and Zhong Lan fell into a deep sleep soon.

The red candle was flickering, Shen Yan outlined the face of the sleeping person beside him with his eyes, and smiled.

I won’t force you, the days are still long, I’ll wait for you to respond to me.
