Chapter 60 A Magnificent Wedding
Fu Danjun didn't care about these things. He pulled Lan Fang into the bedroom and said, "I have an idea. You have to agree to it."
Lan Fang blinked and became worried: "Miss, are you going to abandon me?"
Fu Danjun immediately covered her mouth and said, "Nonsense, how could I abandon you? I want you to help me with something important."
Lan Fang was so smart that she knew that if the young lady didn't take her with her, she would find an excuse: "The young lady has already married, what's the big deal?"
Fu Danjun couldn't help but pinch her nose and warned: "If you don't listen, I will be really angry. Leaving you to take care of Jingdu's business is a big deal, right? Besides, my niece Fu Xiao is about to celebrate her 100th day, and you have to go back to give her a gift."
Lan Fang continued to retort: "By the time I arrived in Jiangnan, the Hundred Days Banquet would have long passed."
Fu Danjun quickly said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it's late, my family won't be picky."
Lan Fang was completely reluctant, but on a sudden inspiration she pretended to agree.
"Just do as you say, young lady. How can a servant disobey orders?"
Fu Danjun was very happy. She ran to her dressing table and picked out a few pieces of jewelry: "These are the ones I wear often. I will give them to Fu Xiao. When she grows up, she will feel happy when she sees her aunt's personal jewelry."
Lan Fang smiled and said, "What the young lady said is right."
Seeing the girl's playful face, Fu Danjun suddenly felt a little worried: "Don't play tricks on me, or I really don't want you anymore."
As he was speaking, four of Wanyan Qi's personal maids came.
Fu Danjun quickly invited them in and sat down to have some tea.
The nanny smiled and said, "Master Wanyan said that the young lady will be married tomorrow. We will all come here tonight to make preparations. Soon, wedding couplets will be hung outside and firecrackers will be set off."
Fu Danjun also wanted to go quickly and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Lan Fang, come and enjoy!"
As expected, not long after Fu Danjun lay down to sleep, the sound of firecrackers and red envelopes rang out outside.
After getting up, Nanny and Lan Fang helped her wash and dress.
She put on the bright red wedding dress, covered her head with a veil embroidered with auspicious dragons and phoenixes, and walked out with the help of two maids.
Fu Danjun took two steps, turned back and reminded Lan Fang: "Don't make any mistakes in what I ask you to do."
Lan Fang agreed while chuckling, "Don't worry, miss."
Wanyan Qi made quite a fuss about his wedding. From his residence to Fu Danjun's house, there were loud gongs, drums and firecrackers all the way.
The area was crowded with people watching the fun, and the servants gave wedding candies to children whenever they saw one.
So I received countless blessings along the way: "Oh my, what a grand ceremony, you are so lucky!"
Some people who knew the inside story were discussing: "I heard that Fu, who divorced from the Marquis' Mansion, was married off to the Northern Frontier by the Emperor."
Another person said: "The emperor has granted the marriage, so the person from Northern Frontier must be good. This is a blessing."
As he was speaking, Wanyan Qi came to pick up the sedan chair on the way, riding a tall horse with a big red flower on his chest.
When the people saw that he looked handsome and like a good man, they all applauded and cheered.
In the palace, Xie Changsheng spent every day like a year.
He was looking at the memorial but thinking about Fu Danjun. Eunuch Chang and other eunuchs, both big and small, held their breath and dared not make a sound.
In the afternoon, the trusted guard returned and told Eunuch Chang: "Miss Fu is about to leave the city. It's not too late to see her off."
Eunuch Chang plucked up the courage to come over and served a bowl of tea first.
After Xie Changsheng calmly took a sip, Eunuch Chang said, "The Emperor is friends with Miss Fu, so why don't you go and see her off?"
He deliberately used the word "friend" to prevent Xie Changsheng from getting angry.
Xie Changsheng raised his head and thought: "Is it time to leave the city now?"
Eunuch Chang laughed and said, "Outside the city there are fewer people and it's quiet, perfect for a farewell."
Xie Changsheng frowned unhappily and put the tea bowl down heavily. "I can't live without her? Is that what you mean?"
Eunuch Chang knelt down and kowtowed: "This old slave deserves death! This old slave deserves death!"
Xie Changsheng glared at him and said, "Go and ask Xu Yu to prepare. I'll go tonight."
Xu Yu also heard people in the palace talking about Fu Danjun getting married.
She suddenly felt very lonely, but when she saw the fake death medicine that Fu Danjun left for her, she mustered up her courage again.
When Xie Changsheng came, she had already washed and dressed and was lying on the bed, feeling soft and fragrant.
"Your Majesty, come on!"
Xie Changsheng entered the tent and saw her stretching out her soft, white arms towards him.
Her slender waist and long legs are quite seductive.
If Xie Changsheng had encountered such a situation in the past, he would have been unable to control himself.
But now he was in low spirits, as if he had lost all worldly desires.
Seeing this, Xu Yu took the initiative to get out of bed and hug him: "Your Majesty, you are too tired, right? Let me serve you well."
After being reminded, Xie Changsheng couldn't help but yawn and said tiredly: "I am tired, let's sleep."
Then he fell asleep quietly, and Xu Yu didn't dare to disturb him.
The next day, people in Kyoto were still talking about Fu Danjun's wedding, describing the grand occasion in a lavish manner.
When the news reached the Guanyang Marquis' Mansion, no one was immune to jealousy.
Lu Yuan happened to be returning to her parents' home. Upon hearing this, she sneered, "Do you really think this is a good thing? The northern border is a bitterly cold place. Acclimating yourself there could kill you. That beauty-inducing Fu deserves it. She fawned over the emperor but got sold out. Haha, she truly deserves it."
Old Madam Hou felt that she should be as happy as Lu Yuan that Fu Danjun was marrying far away.
But she couldn't be happy, and Pei was the same. She even suspected that she was hallucinating.
If Fu Danjun really married, who would help him seize the power of the family? Would the money he gave her be wasted?
At the dinner table, the family members had different thoughts.
Lu Zhao was tactless and mentioned that everyone in Kyoto, from the royal family and nobles to the peddlers and porters, was discussing Fu Danjun's marriage to a distant place.
Madam Hou looked unhappy, and Yuan Shi noticed this and stopped her husband: "Why are you talking about her? She has nothing to do with us anymore."
After dinner, the old lady called Lu Yu to her bedroom and whispered to him, "Mrs. Fu married far away, so she naturally didn't take her gold, silver, and treasures with her. Go see what's left in the house and bring back some."
No matter how poor Lu Yu was, he was still a man. He blushed and said, "This is too shameful. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't be like this."
Seeing this, Mrs. Hou didn't want to continue to instigate the matter, as it would make her seem immoral.
But when Lu Yu returned to his courtyard, a servant came over and said, "My Lord, the debt collector came to our house and we just drove him away."
Lu Yu was so frightened that his back went cold, thinking that if he didn't settle the debt, he would lose face.
If Fu Danjun's gold, silver and treasures are still in the house, I might as well get them out to pay off my debts.
However, little did they know that the clever Lan Fang had already packed all the valuables into several carriages and stored them in the pawnshop.
Tietou and the guards were still guarding the house, patrolling three times at night and being very cautious and responsible.
Lu Yu climbed over the wall in the late night and went to Fu Danjun's bedroom to open the box.
As a result, the box was not opened, but was covered with a sack.
It turned out that Tietou and others had been watching him since he climbed over the wall, and they had been watching him sneak into Fu Danjun's bedroom.
