The Lofty Fierce Consort - Chapter 180
? Yan Yan and Luo Huaiyuan came early with their two children, as well as Shen Yiyao and Qi Ran, and of course there were quite a few people from the government of Zhenguo.
When the wedding date was set, Yan Yan and Yan Mo bought a house next to Yan’s house after some discussions. The house was similar in size to the Yan’s house. Because the time was relatively short, the wall in the middle was beaten and some rest were done. Now the Yan’s house is twice as big as before.
Seeing more and more guests, Yan Yan, Shen Yiyao and his aunt Shen Er went to entertain the female family, while Luo Huaiyuan and Qi Ran went to the male guest.
Almost an hour before the auspicious hour, Yan Mo was dressed in a bright red wedding dress and Shen Qi and a few friends rode a tall horse with a sedan chair, blowing and beating to Han’s house.
Shen Yiyao’s face was red today, and she was especially graceful and luxurious in a begonia red dress. Marrying a daughter-in-law for the first time, and waiting for the next time is still many years, she was so happy that she almost burst into laughter.
Many noble ladies gathered around her to congratulate her, saying that her son became a weapon and immediately married her daughter-in-law, and she had another heartache, just waiting for her grandson. Although it was a scene, it was pleasant to hear no matter how it was heard at this time.
After almost an hour, it was already close to dusk, and there was a deafening sound of firecrackers outside. Everyone knew that this was the bride’s sedan chair, and they rushed to the front yard.
Amid the sound of firecrackers, the bride got off the sedan chair and entered the Xitang Chapel, and then led the new couple into the bridal chamber. All the relatives and friends here are all gathered to the new house, and the guests on the other side are also ready to open a table.
After Yan Mo lifted his hijab and drank wine with the bride, he had to return to the front yard to entertain the guests.
It was noisy until very late that Yan’s Mansion only took a banquet here. Luo Huaiyuan is a competent brother-in-law, and he helped Yan Mo be a lot of wine, one is him, the other is Shen Qi, otherwise Yan Mo has to be cast down today.
The night was quiet, and after the guests were sent away, the people began to clean everywhere.
The residences of Shen Yiyao and his wife and Luo Huaiyuan’s family are ready. They will not leave today, Yan Mo is married, and tomorrow Shen Yiyao will have to wait to drink tea from her daughter-in-law.
The next day, Yan Yan’s family of four got up early in the morning.
Now that Yan’s Mansion is big, Yan Mo has reserved two yards for her sister and mother. Yan Yan took the man and two children to the next door to greet Shen Yiyao. Breakfast has been prepared, a large table is very rich, the family sat in one place and had a rich breakfast.
At the dinner table, Jian’er asked curiously, “Where’s my uncle, doesn’t he need breakfast?”
Luo Huaiyuan smiled jokingly, “Your uncle just married a daughter-in-law, so you don’t need breakfast.”
Jian’er was still young and couldn’t understand the meaning of his father’s words, so he scratched his head and stopped making a sound. Seeing his little confused expression on his face, I guess there is nothing to do with thinking about marrying a wife and not having breakfast.
The adults laughed at this.
After breakfast, they rinsed their mouths and cleaned their hands. The servants offered tea and they sat chatting while waiting for the newcomers to come.
After waiting for a long meeting, Yan Mo came with his bride.
Han Shu wore an extra festive dress today, with a peach-colored peony embroidered jacket, a rose-studded satin skirt, a peach heart bun, and a full set of red gold headband on the headband. Compared with the usual plain and pure face, Han Shu is much more. Kind of luxurious and delicate.
She blushed and followed Yan Mo. Looking at Yan Mo again, there was a small smile on his face, presumably the couple’s wedding night went smoothly.
After the salute, Luo Huaiyuan ridiculed: “Your kid is finally married, and forget about your sister’s worries. Work hard, our mother is still waiting to hug the grandson.”
Yan Mo sighed and smiled, his ears were faintly red, Han Shu also had his jade neck hanging down, his jade cheeks flushed like fire.
Then it was to offer tea with Shen Yiyao, and of course Qi Ran was indispensable. The two elders smiled, and after receiving the tea, they put the meeting ceremony on the tray. When it was Luo Huaiyuan and Yan Yan’s turn, they acted very generously, and then it was Niuniu and Jian’er two juniors. It was Han Shu’s turn to give the two nephews a meeting ceremony.
After giving up, everyone didn’t intend to disturb the newly married couple anymore, and each prepared to return home.
After sending everyone away, only Yan Mo and Han Shu were left.
Han Shu whispered: “My mother and eldest sister are very kind, and my concubine was a little nervous before.”
“After a long time, you will know that both mother and sister are easy to get along with.”
Han Shu nodded and gave him a blushing look: “You don’t need to go to the Hanlin Academy today? Will it be too late now?”
Yan Mo glanced at her in surprise, and said, “Because it is the wedding period, I gave me a ten-day holiday.”
Han Shu suddenly felt extremely ashamed, and suddenly remembered that when he got up in the morning, he had told her about it, and she had forgotten it! She wanted to cover her face with her hands, but she felt it was too obvious to do so, so she pulled her sleeves and stood there with her head hanging down in shame.
Seeing this, Yan Mo chuckled twice, and gently held her small hand with the big hand, leading her forward.
As the new year is approaching, there are many things to be busy.
Prepare the items to be used for the Chinese New Year, as well as the New Year gifts everywhere. You need to prepare a list to send. Every family needs to deal with the relationship. When the work is finished, it is almost the twelfth lunar month.
Because of Luo Huaiyuan’s identity and being in Beijing, it is natural that he can’t relax in Yunzhou as before. During the Spring Festival in the palace, there are so many big feasts and small feasts, almost every time Luo Huaiyuan and his wife are there.
The change of King Yun naturally fell into the eyes of many people.
King Yun is thin, extremely thin, and the prince’s crown dress looks a bit empty on him.
The imperial-regulated clothes such as the crowns of princes and princes and concubines are all made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there are two sets per year according to the regulations. The size of this year’s Ministry of Internal Affairs has long been sent to measure it, and it is also made according to Luo Huaiyuan’s size, but he has lost a lot in recent months, and the clothes that usually fit in the past are now extremely unfit.
Luo Huaiyuan and his wife also forgot to consider this issue. Yan Yan knew that her husband had lost weight. He made several winter coats this year, but only forgot the big clothes that are worn only on formal occasions. No way, Luo Huaiyuan could only attend various banquets held in the Spring Festival Palace in an improper suit.
Everyone didn’t pay attention to King Yun’s weight loss, but Jingdi took it in his eyes and said something to Luo Huaiyuan in private. But to please Luo Huaiyuan, Dese said to Jingdi, wait, the surprise is still to come.
After the new year, another major event happened and caused a stir in Beijing.
Wang Qi came to the table and asked himself to cut the fan.
This is the second prince who has asked to cut his vassal since King Yun asked himself to cut his vassal vassal. Qi Wang’s rhetoric is similar to that of King Yun. People can’t help but wonder, is it really so hard to be a vassal? Everyone asks to cut down on their own!
Due to the example of King Yun, King Qi’s request to cut the feudal clan was very smooth and did not encounter any obstacles. Combining the actions of the two princes, everyone almost understood what Emperor Jing meant. It seemed that King Yun’s self-request to cut the domain was just a bait. Now that another big fish has been taken the bait, will the other little princes still hinder it?
Today is different. After nearly two years of accumulation, Emperor Jing is no longer the new emperor with unstable foundations.
The princes of Emperor Jing’s uncle generation panicked, and some were conscious and ignorant. But these are not important anymore. At the beginning of the new year, the actions of Emperor Jing began, and various imperial historians began to play various evil deeds of the vassal kings one after another.
These vassal kings were used to doing whatever they wanted in the fief, and there were problems everywhere. Emperor Jing decreed to abolish one or two early rafters as prostitutes, and the rest were honest, and then needless to say, Daxi’s three-generation system of enfeoffment has since ended in the hands of Emperor Jing.
Just when there was a lot of trouble due to the slashing of the vassal, Luo Huaiyuan, who led the crowd, was still busy in the house.
In order to lose weight, Luo Huaiyuan specially found a craftsman to build a weight scale.
Daxi’s scale at this time was still the most primitive steelyard, with a wooden pole or metal pole with star points and tapers as the main body, and a weighing instrument equipped with a mound, a mound rope and a weighing pan (or weighing hook). This kind of steelyard can weigh light objects or heavy objects, but the process of weighing objects is a bit complicated. Not only does it require manpower, and the object being weighed is either put into a bag or put into a basket. There must be a leverage.
Luo Huaiyuan was frightened back without trying, and let him be **** and weighed. It would be better to let him go to death.
In order to know the progress of his weight loss, Luo Huaiyuan deliberately went to the Ministry of Engineering, found a craftsman who was good at this, and told him the principle of the platform scale to build such a scale.
Luo Huaiyuan was for his own benefit. Naturally, he didn’t know how much manpower and material resources were saved by the appearance of the scale. It was an invention that benefited the people of Daxi. But this is something later, so I won’t mention it for the time being.
This scale is very large, with many iron mounds of different weights. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the modern craftsmanship and technology, but as long as it is useful.
On the day it was delivered, it was directly carried in by the Ministry of Industry in carts and horses, and it took more than a dozen talents to carry in this behemoth.
During this period, it aroused curiosity up and down in Prince Yun’s Mansion. Everyone was curious about what exactly was such a big iron block.
After finishing the weight scale, Luo Huaiyuan pulled Yan Yan and the two younger ones to weigh them.
Yan Yan was the first to stand up for the test. Yan Yan’s figure has been properly maintained, and she weighed it down to one hundred and two catties. Then there are Niuniu and Jian’er. Niuniu only has fifty-two catties. On the contrary, Jian’er, who is younger than her, has more than sixty catties. However, it can be seen from the outside that Jian’er is now half a head taller than her sister.
In the end, it was Luo Huaiyuan’s turn. He estimated his weight and asked Xiao Anzi to take a few eunuchs to put the weight on it. The result after the weighing was 185 jin. These weight values are naturally converted into modern units by Luo Huaiyuan using today’s measurements. You can’t always use buckets and stones to calculate your weight. That sounds too frustrating.
Luo Huaiyuan’s height is about 1.85 meters. The standard weight he estimated for himself is one hundred and sixty jins, which means that he still needs to lose nearly 25 jins.
It sounds like twenty-five catties is not much, but Luo Huaiyuan knows that at the end of the weight loss, the weight loss will be slow, and even more effort than before, not to mention that he has to train the excess fat in his body into muscles.
After nearly half a year of hard work, Luo Huaiyuan has indeed lost a lot of weight. If he said that he used to have a big stomach and he could not see his toes when he stood up straight, Luo Huaiyuan could already see his toes and his stomach was only slightly stiff. Then, the back of the arms, thighs, and even the face have lost a lot of weight.
Especially on the face, the five senses have been clearly revealed, and the eyes have become bigger. They are called tiger eyes in current words. The dimples that disappeared from eating too fat in the early years also appeared. Now, like Niuniu, there is a dimple on each cheek on each side. His smile was very sunny and brilliant, of course he would look even more handsome if he didn’t squint his eyes.
Yan Yan didn’t expect that she was just an aggressive general at first, and she could actually make a man thin to this point.
To be honest, she wanted Luo Huaiyuan to lose weight, just for the sake of his body, not to dislike him for being fat. She was already satisfied with being so thin that she even advised Luo Huaiyuan not to go on a diet anymore, as long as she keeps exercising in the future, but Luo Huaiyuan disagrees, as if she must be satisfied with her.
He still seems to remember his promise of eight pack abs. ?
