Chapter 062 New Ability Bonus
Hearing Zhao Bilian's address, Lu Sen felt a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it, thinking that the other party just made a slip of the tongue.
Then he continued to say to Yang Jinhua: "There are not too many rules here. It's still early in the evening. If you are bored, just take off your veil and walk around the building."
Yang Jinhua nodded slightly and said "hmm".
Lu Sen smiled and went downstairs to entertain the guests.
After Lu Sen left, Zhao Bilian breathed a sigh of relief, sat down next to Yang Jinhua, patted the towering mountains and said, "Our husband is indeed a good match. He feels sorry for us just after we got married, and he's worried that we'll be bored staying here."
Yang Jinhua did not respond. She gently lifted a corner of the veil and looked at the new house. It seemed that there was not much difference from the previous one, except for an extra dressing table and a large wardrobe.
I think it is configured for myself.
Yang Jinhua felt happy immediately.
Lu Sen went downstairs and saw a large number of red lacquered boxes piled up in the yard.
These are all dowries.
From gems and silver to medicinal materials and calligraphy and painting, the categories are very diverse.
In full view of everyone, Lu Sen put the pile of red boxes into the storage box in the living room of the wooden building, which scared the hundred or so members of the wedding escort team.
Zhe Sanlang was no longer surprised by this, so he gave out a large number of red envelopes and invited the wedding party to a buffet at the Zhe family in the city.
However, Uncle Qi of the Yang family and all the family soldiers stayed behind to prepare for the wedding banquet.
Lu Sen had already used wooden blocks to make a square table and square stools and placed them in the pavilion.
He renovated the pavilion more than ten days ago, and it now occupies a much larger area. It can easily accommodate more than a dozen tables of people without appearing crowded.
Uncle Qi and others carefully sat in the corner and occupied a table.
Lu Sen asked them to sit in the middle, but these honest soldiers said no.
In desperation, Lu Sen asked Heizhu and Ringo to serve the food to them first.
The chef was borrowed from the Zhe family. Although his cooking skills were much inferior to those of the imperial chef in the palace, the raw vegetables here tasted much better than those of Lu Sen.
If you add some seasonings like green onions to other dishes, the whole dish will immediately become extremely delicious.
Besides, the chef was still in a confused state at this time. He cooked instinctively with a dizzy head.
Because it is winter now, although it hasn't snowed yet, the temperature is already very low.
Moreover, the city of Bianjing is extremely humid. When the weather is hot, it is like a steam furnace, and when the weather is cold, it feels like an ice cellar. Even wearing thick clothes, you can feel the cold seeping into your bones.
But here in Lu Sen, it was extremely warm, and he also saw a grass garden surrounded by woods. He truly witnessed the "paradise on earth" that was rumored in the market.
A feeling of shock was still in his mind, and he was still thinking about the sea of flowers he had just seen, so he couldn't concentrate on cooking.
Lu Sen was in the yard, welcoming the guests with Zhe Saburo.
The first to come up were the Chang family father and son.
The two of them congratulated Lu Sen happily, but when they entered the yard, they felt something was wrong. When they were led into the garden, their expressions became even more surprised.
There was no way. Although the two families were neighbors, it was the first time that the Chang father and son entered Lu Sen’s home in such a freezing cold weather.
It was also the first time I saw a sea of flowers on the grass.
It's not surprising that he looked so shocked.
Originally Uncle Qi and the others were quite reserved, but when they saw the two newcomers who were not much better than them, they immediately relaxed a lot.
Then, acquaintances came one after another to congratulate.
The Cao family father and son and several female relatives, the Bao family of three, Zhan Zhao and the detectives, a dozen people from the Runan County Prince's family, etc.
When receiving the Prince of Runan, Zhe Sanlang's expression became strange, and he kept staring at one of the smiling fat men.
Lu Sen didn't notice Zhe Sanlang's little change in expression, he was busy greeting people.
The people who came later were people I didn’t know.
The Eighth Wise Kings, who were still elegant despite their old age, Grand Tutor Pang, who would squint his eyes and smile whenever he saw someone, Ouyang Xiu, Sima Xianggong, Yan Shu and other important ministers.
Lu Sen didn't know these people, but after getting their consent, Zhe Laoqi sent them wedding invitations.
Whether to send it or not is my business, whether to come or not is your business.
But... they all came.
The last one to come was Di Qing.
This middle-aged handsome man with no tattoos on his face said to Lu Sen in a vicissitudes of life tone: "I don't know whether I should scold you or thank you!"
Lu Sen was confused.
Looking at Lu Sen's expression, Di Qing suddenly smiled and said, "Well, this is God's will. No matter what, thank you, Lu Xiaolang."
During this period of time, Di Qing found that his life had actually become a little better.
In the past, when civil officials saw him, they generally looked disgusted, but now when they see him again, they neither like him nor dislike him.
After thinking about it, he realized that it was because the tattoo on his face was gone.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The tattoo on Di Qing's face is his own obsession, and it is also a thorn in the hearts of the entire civil service group.
A thief with a tattoo on his face actually rose to a high position and even became the Privy Councilor!
I face them in the court every day.
Isn't this a slap in the face of the civil servants?
Every time the civil servants saw the tattoos on his face, they felt unhappy.
From the perspective of the game, every time the civil officials see Di Qing, who has tattoos on his face, their favorability will be '-1'. After a long time, it would be strange if they don't want to kill him.
In particular, Renzong suggested that Di Qing wash off the tattoo, but the latter actually refused.
The civil servants were even more unhappy.
When Zhao Zhen took the initiative to persuade Di Qing to remove the tattoo, there were civil servants secretly fanning the flames. This in itself was a disguised compromise by the civil servant group.
Do you really think that the civil officials of this period could not see the role of military commanders?
Otherwise, the two major general families, the Zhe family and the Zhong family, would not have been stationed on the border to defend against the enemy for a long time.
Moreover, Di Qing was able to rise to power because of Fan Zhongyan’s strong promotion.
Fan Zhongyan was a real civil servant.
Now that the tattoos on Di Qing's face were gone, the civil officials could face him with a more normal attitude.
Although there is still some discrimination, it is not as intense as before and is only superficial.
This was the last family of guests, so Lu Sen took the initiative to lead them towards the sea of flowers.
As a result, as I arrived at the entrance of the woods, I heard music coming from inside. When I walked in, I saw people clapping and cheering, and several beauties dancing to the music in the sea of flowers.
The scene was very lively.
Lu Sen was a little surprised. Isn't this my wedding?
How come you guys are so high?
Time goes back to two incense sticks ago.
The distinguished guests sat in the pavilion, eating food , drinking honey water, and exclaiming in amazement.
Especially Zhao Zhen, he pretended to be a family member of the Prince of Runan and sneaked into the banquet. Although he was discovered by the ministers early on, no one came to disturb his interest.
Even Bao Zheng, who was known for his strictness, just frowned and ignored him.
After drinking two large cups of honey water, Zhao Zhen touched his fat belly and said, "This honey juice is much better than the fine wine in the palace."
"And this green vegetable, how is it grown? It tastes so delicious."
The men, women, young and old around them all nodded.
Then Zhao Zhen looked at the sea of flowers with thousands of colors and butterflies flying around him, and said with envy: "It's the beginning of winter in the outside world. Snow is coming and the grass and trees are withering, but here it is full of vitality, with birds singing and flowers blooming. It is truly a paradise on earth. If I had this place, I would not sit on the throne."
The Prince of Runan who was standing next to him said, "It does look a bit like the scene of the Immortals' Peach Banquet."
Zhao Zhen picked up a peach from the fruit plate and recalled the paintings about the Peach Banquet. Then he said, "It's a pity that the fairy music is missing."
At this time, Hei Zhu just brought a new large bottle of honey water and said, "Please wait a moment, dear guest."
Under the curious gazes of the crowd, Heizhu brought the jukebox over, shook it for a while, and then randomly played a song from the library.
As the melodious and soothing music came out of the jukebox, Zhao Zhen slammed the table and exclaimed in surprise, "Is this the legendary immortal mechanism that can make its own sound?"
All the guests in the venue looked over.
Staring at the black jukebox with surprise or curiosity.
After listening to the music for a while, Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "It's a very rare seven-tone piece, with two instruments I've never heard of. The piece is beautiful, but I always feel that something is missing... Oh, I see, it's missing the beauty dancing. How can there be music without dancing!"
Hearing this, the Prince of Runan winked at the two concubines he brought with him. The two beauties stood up, took the initiative to walk into the sea of flowers, and twisted their bodies to the music.
This is also one of the functions of a concubine. In social occasions, she will act as a entertainer when necessary.
The status of concubines was very low, and it was common for nobles to give concubines to each other.
Afterwards, the concubines brought by other guests also started to come out. Suddenly, there were seven beautiful women in the sea of flowers, dancing in their own specialties, vying with each other for beauty.
There are food, drinks, music, and beautiful women dancing.
The atmosphere suddenly became lively.
This was also the scene that Lu Sen saw when he came in.
With the arrival of the groom, the atmosphere became more lively.
Lu Sen brought the honey water and, with the introduction of Zhe Sanlang, got to know the Eighth Wise King, Grand Tutor Pang and others.
It stands to reason that getting the groom drunk is a must-have procedure before the wedding night, but Lu Sen only provided honey water, no wine.
Besides, they didn't want to drink at this time.
Are you stupid to not drink the extremely precious, delicious, and body-regulating honey water and instead drink rice wine which is available anytime?
In this way, the banquet lasted from noon to evening.
As the night gradually darkened, and the emperor was still intoxicated with music, dance, and eating and drinking, Bao Zheng finally couldn't help it. He stood up and said, "My dear colleagues and friends, it's getting late now. We have to attend the court early tomorrow. Besides, the groom is probably eager to have his wedding night. Why should we spoil the scene here?"
"Xiren is right. Let's go." The Eighth Wise King stood up and glanced at Zhao Zhen.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Zhen. He stood up helplessly and said, "In that case, let's go."
So a group of people stood up reluctantly and said goodbye to Lu Sen one by one.
Bao Zheng was the last to leave. He said to Lu Sen at the door, "After today, Lu Xiaolang will be famous all over the world. You have great magical powers, and it is easy for you to shake the world. I implore Lu Xiaolang to think more about the people in your future actions. Although the world is big, it can't withstand too much trouble."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Lu Sen felt helpless after hearing this. He was just a charlatan who pretended to be a god, how could he bring disaster to the world?
After all the outsiders left, Heizhu and Ringo began to clean up the remaining things, while Lu Sen returned to the wooden building.
He went up to the new room on the second floor, pushed the door open, and saw Yang Jinhua sitting on the edge of the bed, and Zhao Bilian was still sitting next to her.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Yes, Ringo brought us food just now."
A low voice came from under the red veil.
Lu Sen looked at the red candles lit on the table, then looked at Zhao Bilian, and said, "Miss Zhao, you should go to another room to rest."
Until now, Lu Sen still thought that Zhao Bilian still stayed here because of some rules he didn't know about.
But Zhao Bilian twisted her hands together, lowered her chin to the mountains and gently pressed it, blushing and said, "Hey, didn't you say you wanted me to push...that...push?"
Lu Sen: Hmm?
Wait! Why does this sound like a lewd and threatening statement?
At this time, Yang Jinhua was furious. She stepped hard on Zhao Bilian and scolded her, "Get out of here and go to the next room, you nymphomaniac, or I will return you to the Zhao family."
"oh."
Zhao Bilian stood up, looked at Yang Jinhua resentfully, then looked at Lu Sen, and then walked away feeling aggrieved.
After the door was closed, Yang Jinhua stopped talking again.
Lu Sen walked over and took off the veil.
Wearing a peony wedding gown and light makeup, Yang Jinhua looked particularly beautiful and charming.
She turned her head to look at Lu Sen, then lowered her head shyly.
A pair of little white hands, nervous and not knowing where to put them.
Lu Sen sat down next to her, held her right hand, and said with a smile: "Are we going to drink the wedding wine now? I don't have any wine, how about honey water instead?"
Yang Jinhua nodded obediently: "I will listen to you, sir."
After they drank the wedding wine, Yang Jinhua's cheeks became more and more red. It was not the wine that made people drunk, but people themselves.
This is the current situation.
Lu Sen blew out the red candle, returned to the bed, and said, "My lady, it's time to rest."
Yang Jinhua didn't say anything. She slowly lay down under Lu Sen's force, covering her eyes with her hands, her heart beating wildly.
He no longer had any strength in his body, as if his ten years of martial arts training had been in vain. At this moment, he could not exert any strength at all and let the master do whatever he wanted.
Outside the building, a jade plate hangs in the sky, silver gauze wraps the mountains and rivers, and waves surge in the vast lake, one after another, it is the time when mandarin ducks make love.
The next morning, Lu Sen woke up first.
Looking at Yang Jinhua curled up in his arms, Lu Sen gently covered her with the quilt.
Then he opened the character interface of the cheat code and was about to put Yang Jinhua into the spouse column, but suddenly he found that Yang Jinhua's 'character card' had changed.
Aishan Yang (daughter of a general, sisters of one mind): The consumption of the cold weapons you make is reduced by 30%, and all attributes of the cold weapons you make are increased by 20%. The attribute bonus of the concubine recognized by Yang will also be included in her attribute bonus.
Additional bonus: The maximum area of the courtyard system is increased by two acres, and a small gold mine will be randomly spawned in an open space somewhere in the courtyard, automatically providing three taels of gold (from the Zhao family of Aishan) every month.
Lu Sen was stunned for a moment.
Wait, Zhao Bilian is a concubine?
