Chapter 223 Lu Yan, Are You Asleep? I Can't Sleep

Hearing Lu Yan's voice, Shen Qing's fingers in his wide sleeves tightened subconsciously, and the corners of his mouth under the hijab could not help but raise.

Standing by the side, Shen Yi'an, who was already smiling from ear to ear, did not forget to warn: "Lu Yan, Qingqing is the eldest daughter of our Yining Marquis Mansion. I, Shen Yi'an, hold this treasure in my hand and would not let go of it without hurting it. Liao Da, if you dare to make her suffer in the future, don’t blame me for knocking on the door of your Prince Jing’an Mansion.”

Shen Yi'an has never been ambiguous when it comes to protecting his daughter. This can be seen from the sack of shoes worn by Yangling Marquis in the court by Shen Yi'an.

Mr. Yun was rare and serious, "Yi'an is right. Although I am old, if you dare to bully Qingqing, my old bones will not be able to give you a hard time."

Mr. Yun and Shen Yi'an both noticed Lu Yan's character, but things in the world are fickle and people's hearts are fickle. Many men and women in Shengjing were in love with each other at first, but within three to five years, they became lovers. Look at the resentful couples who hate each other, and among them, the most vulnerable to harm is the woman.

They want to believe that Lu Yan is always loyal to Shen Qing, but this does not prevent them from leaving a good escape route for Shen Qing. The Yining Marquis Mansion and the Yun family are Shen Qing's eternal backing.

Seeing this, Lu Yan looked solemn and made a promise: "My grandfather and uncle can rest assured. I, Lu Yan, swear here that I will protect Jiao Jiao Zhou with my life. If I do something that makes her sad, I will let my grandfather and uncle punish me. "

Mr. Yun and Shen Yi'an had obtained the promise they wanted. Xie Ling softened the slightly solemn atmosphere and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Mr. Hou, please send Qingqing out quickly. Don't miss the good time."

Shen Yi'an nodded, walked up to Shen Qing, said warmly with slightly red eyes: "Qing Qing, daddy is sending you to get married."

Shen Qing responded "Okay" with a choked voice, and then stood up with Xie Ling's help. Shen Yian's back was as generous and warm as ever, supporting her with a clear tomorrow.

Shen Yian's steps were very steady, as if he were protecting the most precious treasure. Shen Qing's voice came from his ears, "Dad, don't be sad, your daughter will come back from time to time."

Shen Yi'an smiled and said, "Silly boy, I will marry you to Ayan. Dad can rest assured."

Shen Yi'an carried Shen Qing on his back through the small half of the Yining Marquis Mansion towards the gate. The journey was about a quarter of an hour, but today Shen Yi'an felt that it was extremely short. Just like Shen Qing, she had been by his side for sixteen years, but he felt that In just the blink of an eye, Shen Qing grew up.

Before getting on the sedan chair, Shen Yi'an warned again, "Qingqing, dad knows that you and Ayan have a very close relationship, but there are always bumps between husband and wife. If you encounter something unsatisfactory, don't keep it in your heart. Come back and talk to dad and your mother." Just say it, that’s fine, you know?”

"Don't worry, dad, my daughter will do it." Shen Qing agreed. Shen Yian gently placed her in the sedan chair. Lu Yan raised his hand to cover the eaves of the sedan chair to avoid bumping her.

Shen Yi'an's eyebrows were full of love. She patted Lu Yan on the shoulder and said solemnly: "From today on, I will hand over my daughter to you. Dad wishes you happiness."

Lu Yan bowed deeply to Shen Yi'an and Mr. Yun and Xie Ling behind him before getting on his horse.

The sound of gongs and drums sounded, and Lu Yan and his entourage carried the sedan chair towards the direction of Prince Jing'an's Mansion.

Looking down at the big red silk flowers in front of him, Lu Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Today, he wanted to marry his Yueguang home openly.

Suddenly, a confused voice came from the crowd, "How can Prince Lu still ride a horse when he is so weak?"

A stone stirred up thousands of waves, and several whispers followed, "It's not a big problem whether to ride a horse or not. I heard before that Prince Lu is inhumane, so why don't we have flowers and candles in the bridal chamber tonight?"

"Hey, it's a pity that Miss Shen is such a sweetheart."

Lu Yan, who was overjoyed just a second ago: "???"

No, the news of refuting the rumor had been spread out a long time ago. Why didn’t anyone believe it?

Watching the crowd move in an increasingly strange direction, Chanyi and Haitang quickly took out the cloth bags behind them and began to distribute the wedding money. They found a large bag full of silver, at least one tael each.

Everyone's attention was instantly attracted. This was only one tael of silver. If you grab a piece, you would have spent more than half a month.

The discussion stopped abruptly, but Lu Yan's mood was not calm at all. He decided: He and Shen Qing must have a fat son as soon as possible, so that everyone knows that he, Lu Yan, is very good!

As for why it’s a son?

Of course, it is because his son can inherit the family business, and then he and Shen Qing can go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and live a comfortable life like a leisurely person.

If it was a girl, how could he let her go if she looked a little like Shen Qingsheng.

There is no shortage of money in the Yining Hou Mansion, and Shen Qing is getting married, so Shen Yi'an has prepared a full 20,000 taels of silver just for the wedding money distributed along the way, and the dowry is based on Shen Qing's original gifts. Another twenty kilograms were added. Not to be outdone, Mr. Yun also added another twenty kilograms. The dowry, which amounted to a hundred and sixty kilograms, formed an endless red dragon on the street. The posture was even more impressive than when a princess was getting married. Worse than that.

Not only because Shen Qing married into Prince Jing'an as Princess Jing'an, but also because Shen Yi'an wanted the entire Shengjing to know that the girls from their Yining House would be beautiful no matter whether they were married for the first time or for the second time.

At this point, all the objections to Shen Qing's second marriage were completely wiped out in this bright red.

Everyone is not a fool. The sixteen people carrying the sedan chair from the Jing'an Palace and the one hundred and sixty people carrying the dowry from the Yining Marquis Palace are not extremely solemn. Who dares to say that Shen Qing, a second-married person, is not worthy of the glory and glory of the moon? Prince Lu?

With the attention from her husband's family and the confidence from her mother's family, Shen Qing's name is destined to become someone that many noble ladies need to look up to.

At three o'clock in the morning, Lu Yan and his entourage arrived at Prince Jing'an's Mansion.

Lu Yan quickly turned over and dismounted from his horse. His movements were neat and tidy, but actually a little urgent.

Lu Yan skipped the step of kicking the sedan door. After getting married, he and Shen Qing became husband and wife. He didn't need to show off to Shen Qing, and Shen Qing didn't need to show weakness to him. His wife didn't need to look at anyone when doing things. His face, including his own.

Lan Yin, who was already married, knew best what Lu Yan's move meant, and there was a smile from the bottom of her eyes.

Meng Guanlan quickly stepped forward and explained quietly, "Ayin, although I kicked the door of the sedan when we got married, I promise that in our family, you can only give me power."

Lan Yin glanced at him and nodded with satisfaction.

To be fair, although Meng Guanlan looks serious in front of others, in fact, he is somewhat henpecked behind the scenes, but Meng Guanlan himself is not willing to admit it.

Holding the red silk in hand, Lu Yan and Shen Qing walked side by side toward the main hall.

There were many guests in the courtyard, and voices of admiration and envy arose one after another.

Lu Tingyu had been waiting for a long time, and Jiang Sili beside him was already sweating nervously.

I have presided over many marriages in my life, but this is the first time I have met an old client with whom I work so frequently like Shen Qing.

Jiang Sili smiled from ear to ear when he thought of the five hundred taels of silver that Chanyi brought to invite him. Shen Qing was truly the noble man in his life!

Since meeting Shen Qing, he has almost saved up his pension money!

Seeing the newlyweds finally showing up, Jiang Sili quickly shouted: "It's an auspicious time for the newlyweds to pay their respects!"

She shouted with extra vigor, fearing that she would be disappointed with Shen Qing's great trust and the warm five hundred taels.

The matchmaker helped Shen Qing to the center of the main hall with a happy face, and arranged the hem of Shen Qing's wedding dress with great discernment.

I don't blame them for working hard, it's mainly because the Prince's Palace of Jing'an and the Marquis of Yining's Palace gave too much.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

Jiang Sili's voice sounded, and the matchmaker quickly helped Shen Qing turn around to face the door of the main hall. The guests watching the ceremony quickly made way for a few people to pass through in parallel. Who is Lu Yan? King Jing'an, whose status was second only to the emperor at that time, even the emperor couldn't bear such a deep bow from Lu Yan, and they couldn't bear it even more.

"Two thanks to Gaotang!"

Lu Yan and Shen Qing both bowed to Lu Tingyu who was standing above them. Lu Tingyu's eyebrows were full of kindness, his eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't help but murmured at the corner of his mouth: "Shengsheng, our son got married today, are you here?" Did you see it in the sky?"

"Couple greetings!"

Lu Yan looked at the pattern of mandarin ducks flexing their wings embroidered with gold thread on the hijab, his eyes filled with smiles, and he bowed deeper and deeper.

After this bow, Shen Qing became his legitimate wife.

"Send it to the bridal chamber!"

Jiang Sili's increasingly high-pitched voice sounded. Shen Qing was helped away by the matchmaker and Chanyi. Lu Yan's eyes followed subconsciously until Shen Qing's figure completely disappeared. Meng Guanlan on the side joked to him: "Don't look at it. , I will be your wife from now on, you can look at her as you want."

The word "daughter-in-law" touched Lu Yan's heartstrings so much that his expression instantly softened a lot.

It all happened so fast that Lu Yan always felt a little unreal.

Lu Tingyu greeted all the guests to Qiyuntang, which was specially used to entertain guests, followed closely by Lu Yan, Meng Guanlan and their entourage.

After three rounds of drinking, it was almost midnight. Lu Tingyu asked Lu Yan to go to Qingzhu Garden quickly to avoid making Shen Qing wait too long. He, Meng Guanlan and his party were responsible for the finishing tasks.

When Lu Yan returned to Qingzhu Garden, Chanyi and Haitang were guarding outside the house. When they pushed the door open, Shen Qing was the only one inside, and Tuanzi's subtle snoring could still be heard faintly.

Seeing Lu Yan coming over, the two of them walked in immediately, one carrying a wedding scale and the other holding a quilted wine.

Lu Yan lifted up his hijab, and Shen Qing's breathtaking face was revealed to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan's expression paused, and there seemed to be spring in his eyes. Haitang quickly brought the wine and waited for the two of them to drink before going out with Chanyi. For no other reason than the two of them standing here were too much of an eyesore.

After a glass of wine, Chanyi left with Haitang, and before leaving, she took away Tuanzi, who was sleeping soundly. The next scene was not suitable for Tuanzi, a one-year-old cat, to watch.

As the door closed, Lu Yan took two steps forward, looked into Shen Qing's eyes and said seriously: "Today, the beauty is so real that I am shocked."

Shen Qing's eyebrows were curved, and there were two faint blushes on his cheeks.

Lu Yan began to take off the phoenix crown on her head. Feeling the heavy weight in his hands, Lu Yan's expression changed and he quickly raised his hand to rub Shen Qing's neck, "Does it hurt?"

The warm touch hit her, and Shen Qing quickly hissed, not out of pain, but out of shock.

"No...it doesn't hurt."

Seeing her shyness, Lu Yan couldn't help but move forward again, "I've already worshiped heaven and earth, why are you still so shy, madam?"

The sound of "ma'am" made Shen Qing's heart tremble in shock.

In a daze, Lu Yan had already taken off all the hair accessories on her head and asked gently, "Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?"

Shen Qing shook his head, "Ayin just brought me cakes and tea."

Lu Yan had a smile in his eyes, "In that case, let's... go to bed?"

Although Lu Yan tried to make his voice as steady as possible, he couldn't help but pause when he said the word "bedtime".

Although he was teasing Shen Qing just now, Lu Yan was actually as nervous as Shen Qing.

However, Shen Qing heard this, but it was tinged with a bit of ambiguity.

Her eyes drooped slightly, and she was a little afraid to meet Lu Yan's gaze directly. After a long time, she gently responded with a "hmm."

The candle went out, Lu Yan took off his coat, and hugged Shen Qing in his arms. As soon as his fingers touched the button at Shen Qing's collar, he heard a knock on the door: "Lu Yan, are you asleep? I can't sleep!"
