From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 518

The news that Zhou Yuan was made a duke had spread all over the world, and the news that he was going to get married had become a hot topic.

In the past few days, friends from before had come to visit one after another, and Zhou Yuan's life had been very lively.

The Duke's Mansion was still lively on this day, but Zi Yuan was almost crying.

She hurried to Zhou Yuan's side, stamped her feet and said, "Son-in-law! Son-in-law! He... Mr. Xiong, he... he couldn't hold it in and he pooped on the ground."

Zhou Yuan and Xiong Kuohai were sitting under a tree, drinking tea. In the season when the ice began to melt and the flowers bloomed in spring, they were very leisurely.

Being interrupted by this sentence, Lao Xiong was also a little embarrassed, and smiled bitterly: "This idiot, he can't hold his shit at the age of six, wait for me to beat him up!"

"Hey! Lao Xiong, you are stupid! What does a six-year-old child know?"

Zhou Yuan quickly grabbed him and glared at him: "Let Sister Xiong teach him when the time comes. You have to beat him up for such a small matter. How can you be a father like this..."

Wang Ang also advised: "Yes, Lord Xiong, children are all like this."

Zhou Yuan turned around and said: "Ziyuan, you too, Sister Xiong is in the backyard, just tell her."

"No..."

Ziyuan gritted her teeth and said: "He...he defecated in the flowerbed and trampled a large area of ​​the flowers planted by the young lady."

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, looked at Xiong Kuohai and said: "Take him home tonight and beat him up a little, so that this kid will remember it. If he is still ignorant at the age of six, how can he become a useful person in the future!"

Xiong Kuohai couldn't help laughing , and then said: "Okay, okay, I can't beat them, they are just a few flowers."

Zhou Yuan glared and said: "Those are my wife's flowers!"

Wang Ang hurriedly tried to smooth things over and changed the subject: "Let's not talk about that first, Lord Zhou, have you heard those rumors recently?"

Zhou Yuan said: "What rumors?"

Wang Ang changed color and said: "Don't you know? Some people say that you are powerful at a young age, and you may have ambitions, which is not conducive to the checks and balances of the court."

"Others say that you rely on your body to get to the top. You are the Duke of the State on the surface, but in fact you are the male favorite of His Majesty."

"You also know that His Majesty has never kept a male favorite."

Zhou Yuan glared and said: "Bullshit, these are all those bastards, catch them all and slap them in the face!"

It's not that Zhou Yuan thinks being a male favorite is not good, but he is innocent and didn't eat a single bite of meat, but he insisted on saying that he was eating a lot of oil. Who wouldn't feel wronged?

You almost lost your life for a kiss, and you still slandered me for eating meat. Do you have any conscience?

Xiong Kuohai said: "I am very interested in the dowry of the Qu family. Lord Zhou, according to rumors, the dowry prepared by the Qu family this time is worth one million taels of silver."

Wang Ang almost popped his eyes out: "What? One million taels of silver? God, it makes me want to marry another one."

Xiong Kuohai said: "What if there is no dowry?"

"I want to marry another one too."

"That's it."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Time passed slowly while these old friends were bragging, and Zhou Yuan had already started distributing invitations.

Thinking about it carefully, there are quite a lot of people to invite.

The old brothers of the Wucheng Bingmasi, the subordinates of the Five Military Camps, and some friends of the Shanxi merchants, this is a large group of people.

Xue Ningyue also has Xue Changyue's old comrade-in-arms, who has come all the way from Datong.

Not to mention Qu Ling, Qu Shuyuan is indeed a man with many students all over the world. The guest list he gave was as many as a hundred people, which made Zhou Yuan so busy that he was dizzy.

It was not until March 20th that everything was finally handled. Zhou Yuan had already left the mansion as if he was escaping for his life.

He went straight to Princess Bishui's mansion, lay on the soft bed, and comfortably enjoyed the tenderness of the widow.

Princess Bishui pressed his shoulders and said, "Getting married is busy, but don't think that the bride has nothing to do. The complicated etiquette is enough to torture people."

Zhou Yuan said, "It's better here. It's quiet and no one disturbs you."

Princess Bishui said, "But it's lonely. People can't stand staying here for a long time."

Zhou Yuan stretched out his hand and pinched her, smiling, "I'm here, will you still be lonely?"

"Don't make trouble."

Princess Bishui slapped his hand away and whispered, "I just took a bath, don't use it again You are so bad, I will help you relax."

Zhou Yuan rested his head on her plump thighs, half-closed his eyes and said: "Yunxian, you should come to my wedding, it will be lively, don't always stay alone at home."

Princess Bishui pouted, but shook her head and said: "Forget it, what identity should I come with? When Peixian was in Shenjing, she was your friend, and I could still follow her. Now I really have no reason to come."

Zhou Yuan said: "Who said that? Isn't Deng Su's wife good friends with you? I will invite her when the time comes, and you can go with her..”

Now Deng Su is doing very well in the Central Plains. The implementation of the One Whip Law is gradually progressing and has achieved great results. He has grown a lot in the past six months.

After all, I am his nominal teacher. For such a big event as marriage, I should always invite his family.

Princess Bishui hesitated for a long time, but still shook her head and said, "Forget it, I really won't go. You are now a big shot in Shenjing. There are too many dignitaries attending your wedding. If I go, it's really hard to explain anything."

"I'll stay at home. If you remember me and are willing to come and see me, then come and see me."

"If you don't remember me, I'll accept my fate. After all, you are now a duke...ah you!"

Zhou Yuan turned over and sneered, "Okay, you're talking nonsense again, right!"

"No...I don't mean that..."

Zhou Yuan said, "What don't mean that? ”

……

The eleventh year of Zhaojing, March 24, sunny, Chonglongshabei, very auspicious, suitable for traveling, moving, breaking ground, and getting married.

The Duke of Weiguo’s Mansion ushered in the most important event, with red hanging everywhere, lights and decorations, and even red carpets on the streets.

Zhou Yuan wore a groom’s suit and went out with a big red flower with the help of the staff of the Ministry of Rites early in the morning. In the crowds of people watching, he almost went around the city of Shenjing.

When the right time came, he went directly to Xue’s Mansion. Under the shouting of a group of friends, he carried Ningyue out and gave Jiaozi.

Amid the sound of gongs and drums, the sedan chair arrived at the Duke of Weiguo’s Mansion. The maid helped Ningyue out, led her across the brazier, and sent her to the new room.

So Zhou Yuan set out again, heading to Qu's residence to pick up Qu Ling.

It was another complete process, and it was not until the 50th that all the processes were finally completed.

The guests had already filled the entire residence, at least four or five hundred people, and this was the case when only necessary people were invited.

From time to time, there were announcements of gifts and laughter everywhere, and the lunch finally began.

Zhou Yuan began to toast, and this time he was not in a hurry, because he directly found the strongest helper - Comrade Dayong!

From the main table to the last table, an hour had passed, and Zhou Yuan was a little drunk, but it was far from over.

Because the group of beasts from the Fifth Army Camp had already surrounded them.

Li He blushed and shouted: "Brothers! What day is today!"

"Jie Shuai's big day!"

"Today is the only day to get Jie Shuai drunk, everyone can't be polite, politeness is hypocritical, it is disloyalty! "

Zhou Yuan didn't expect that, in addition to Li He, even the usually calm Liu Fang joined the battle of persuading people to drink.

Song Wu, the bastard, was even more proud. He actually put out ten bowls of wine, indicating that he wanted to compete with Zhou Yuan in speed.

Today, Zhou Yuan was not afraid of anyone. The two picked up their wine bowls and started drinking.

Of course, Song Wu won, after all, Zhou Yuan was really drunk.

This guy was so proud that he couldn't help but yelled: "I won! I beat General Jie! Hahahaha!"

Zhou Yuan thought it was almost over, but he didn't expect that the old friend of Wucheng Bingmasi came again. Hong Bo held the wine jar and laughed: "Boss Zhou, let's drink the jar! Don't let Guan Dage help this time! It's not his kid getting married! "

Everyone around started to shout, witnessing a drinking contest.

Finally, in the afternoon, Zhou Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, and was helped by Qingyuan and Ziyuan to go up to the embroidery building to rest.

Zhou Yuan blinked hard and waved his hand, saying, "I'll take a nap, Ziyuan, go and watch the order downstairs, don't neglect the guests."

After speaking, he tidied his hair, raised his head, and suddenly widened his eyes: "Senior sister? Why are you here?"
