Chapter 241 The bridal chamber

After Zaiyi returned to the capital, he did not even return home. He rushed directly to the Summer Palace to return to the Empress Dowager, claiming that Zhou Charter already had a wife. This marriage was really unlucky, and asked the Empress Dowager to take back her order.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was full of doubts and ordered people to call Jin. His mentor Jin has colluded with Feng Guozhang and insisted in front of the Empress Dowager that Zhou Charter had already married, and Jin clearly told the Empress Dowager Cixi that he did not agree with the marriage.

The Empress Dowager Cixi had no choice but to give up.

However, how shrewd the Empress Dowager Cixi is, you can see the tricks in it at a glance.

What's more, Zhou Charter is also surrounded by one of her eyes.

It didn't take long for Cixi to receive a secret report from Lai Chuanwu that Zhou Charter did not marry at all. At least, when King Duan proposed marriage, Zhou Charter was still single! Zhao Qiaoer is really a person, but when Prince Duan proposed marriage, Zhao Qiaoer was just a righteous sister recognized by Zhou Charter!

Zhou Charter is rejecting the Empress Dowager Buddha. He slapped the Empress Dowager Buddha in the face and the royal family of the Qing Dynasty!

In the view of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Zhou Charter tried his best to avoid marriage with the royal family of the Qing Dynasty. There was only one explanation - Zhou Charter, as a Han man, disdained to marry Manchu!

Only people who "anti-Qing and restoration" will disdain to marry Manchu! Zhou Charter has an anti-bone behind his head!

Up to now, the Empress Dowager Cixi finally determined that Zhou Charter was her enemy and the enemy of the Qing Dynasty!

The Empress Dowager Cixi sneered secretly, and she finally made up her mind and began to cut off Zhou Charter!

Empress Dowager Cixi immediately issued a secret order to reject the American plan to exchange North Korea for peace - Cixi did not want to maintain clan relations with North Korea, but because Zhou Charter and his Zhang Jun must not set foot on the land of the Qing Dynasty!

She wants to trap Zhang Jun in North Korea, because Zhang Jun is a true rebel!

However, after all, the Empress Dowager Cixi is old and spicy!

She knows very well that Zhou Charter is a foreign minister with heavy troops in his hand. Moreover, Zhou Charter's achievements in North Korea have made him famous. Everyone knows that he is an anti-Japanese hero. At this time, she wants to deal with Zhou Charter and disobey the government and the opposition! If not, she will be as stinky as Qin Hui for ten thousand years!

What's more, the Qing-Japanese War entered a critical period. At this time, Zhou Charter was killed, the military was scattered, and the consequences were unimaginable. Moreover, Zhou Charter is not an idle person. He has soldiers and guns in his hand. If he can't be killed, he will be injured by the tiger instead of tying the tiger.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Cixi did not show her face and came to indulge.

She not only did not express any dissatisfaction with Zhou Charter. On the contrary, she personally issued an order to seal Zhao Qiaoer, the wife of Zhou Charter!

Sure enough, when the telegram of Zhao Qiaoer's order was sent to Pyongyang, Zhou Charter took a long breath. He thought that he had fooled the Empress Dowager and was not guarded of the court.

......

Zhou Charter and Zhao Qiaoer are officially married. The wedding was held in the small courtyard in the east of the city. There were no fireworks and candles, and there was no master's ceremony. Only Zhao Qiaoer's door was pasted with a big red double happiness. The quartermaster Qian Yougui bought a new quilt for the two, which was regarded as a new house.

Only Luo Mingfang, Yao Xi, Na Ha Wu, Wu Peifu, Park Yonglie, Zhang Jun's old brothers, and the foreign devil Hannagan came to attend the wedding. In addition, Zhao Han, a reported reporter, also attended the wedding as a special guest.

This wedding is extremely shabby, which is very inconsistent with Zhou Charter's three-grade official title and Zhao Qiaoer's three-grade life.

This is because, according to Zhou Charter, Zhao Qiaoer had married him a long time ago, and this wedding should have been held a few years ago. If the war flag advocates marrying Zhao Qiaoer now, then we have to go through the gang.

In the hall, a big red candle was lit. Mrs. Qin sat on the Taishi chair under the north wall. Luo Mingfang, Yao Xi, Naha Wu, Wu Peifu, Park Yonglie, Zhang Zuolin and others stood on the left head of the old lady in turn.

And on the right side of the old lady's head are Yao Xi's wife Cuihua and the former fake wife Liu Yingshu.

After returning to Pyongyang, Liu Yingshu resolutely refused to go back to work. She didn't even want labor fees. Originally, Shanda gave her fifty taels of silver a day. There should be 500 taels back and forth for ten days on the way. Liu Yingshu refused to receive remuneration and strongly demanded that she continue to be a fake wife for Zhou Charter, and she would not take any money!

Liu Yingshu was addicted to being a fake wife, and Luo Mingfang was also helpless. After Zhou Charter returned to Pyongyang, Luo Mingfang told Zhou Charter about Liu Yingshu.

Zhou Charter had a good impression of Liu Yingshu. Although Liu Yingshu was born a dusty woman, she was also kind to Zhou Charter on the way, and there were no bad habits. Zhou Charter took the opportunity to take Liu Yingshu into a partial house.

Liu Yingshu also knows herself and does not expect the location of the main room. She is satisfied that she can make a side house for Zhou Charter. Therefore, Liu Yingshu also lived in the small courtyard in the east of the city.

Zhou Charter stood outside the gate in a red robe.

Luo Mingfang said to Naha Wu beside him, "I respectfully invite you to preside over the wedding."

Nahawu was unprepared: "What? When I host the wedding, I can't recognize a basket of big characters. How can I understand the wedding? I think it's better to leave this matter to Wu Peifu, this guy is literate!"

Luo Mingfang shook her head: "Then five, this is what our eldest brother means. Our sister-in-law is the third-grade wife of the imperial court. In theory, the eldest brother should welcome her into the door with great fanfare. However, this is a special period. The eldest brother does not dare to be too public, but he can't wrong our sister-in-law. Therefore, the eldest brother said that if the royal uncle presided over the wedding in person, the specifications of the wedding would naturally go up! Wu Peifu is a sour scholar. How can he stand the wedding of his wife! Then Hawu, you are looking for our sister-in-law! She is Zhao Xiaoman's sister!"

Naha nodded: "That's right! Zhao Xiaoman is our old brother. He is no longer here. His sister is getting married. We old brothers must fight for him! Anyway, I won't allow this matter! However, Lao Luo, as you know, I'm a rough person. You can help me.

"It's easy to say!"

Naha five stations straightened, coughed, cleared his throat, patted the stunned wood, and shouted harshly, "Take the groom Zhou Charter!"

Yao Xi was shocked and shouted in a hurry: "Wei~Wu"

Luo Mingfang hurriedly shouted, "Lao, this is marriage, not the county magistrate's trial!"

"What should I say?"

"You should first identify your identity, that is, your uncle's identity, so that you can look solemn."

Nahawu nodded and said loudly, "Listen, my name is Nahawu. I am a relative of the Qing Dynasty. My ancestors are the eldest brother of Master Kangxi, today's uncle, deputy division commander and regimental commander of Zhang Jun!" Today, Zhou Charter married Zhao Qiaoer. As the emperor's uncle, I came to witness in person! Well, from now on, Zhao Qiaoer will be my sister-in-law, that is, the emperor's sister-in-law. Whoever dares to bully my uncle's sister-in-law, I will chop him off!"

Yao Xi asked in a low voice, "What if our eldest brother engages in domestic violence?"

Na Ha Wu shouted, "Bah, you are a promising Yao Xi, you were beaten by your wife at home, and you thought that other people's families had domestic violence! Let me tell you, our eldest brother Zhou Charter has always respected women and will never beat his wife!" Nahawu said and bowed to the old lady of the Qin family: "Old lady, I assure you in the name of Uncle Huang, Zhou Charter is a good son-in-law and will never bully your Qiao'er!"

The old lady hurriedly returned the salute: "Uncle, I believe it, absolutely believe it."

Luo Mingfang hurriedly pulled the corner of Nahawu's clothes: "It's time for the groom to come in."

Nahawu hurriedly shouted, "B bring in the groom Zhou Charter!"

Wu Peifu cursed in a low voice: "Dog day, you are fucking enjoying the official fun!"

Zhou Charter strode into the hall, bowed his hands to the brothers, and then knelt down in front of the old lady Qin.

Nahawu looked at Luo Mingfang in a hurry.

"It's time for the bride to play." Luo Mingfang whispered.

Nahawu shouted loudly, "Take the bride Zhao Qiaoer!"

Two maids opened the curtain of the west wing. Zhao Han, a reporter of "Declaration", came out with Zhao Qiaoer, who was wearing a red cover, and came to the old lady and stood side by side with Zhou Charter.

Zhao Han was invited by Zhou Charter and made a temporary guest appearance as a bridesmaid. It is big news that Zhou Charter, the great anti-Japanese hero, got married and married. However, Zhou Charter asked her to keep her mouth shut about this matter and could not be published in the newspaper. Zhao Han was very be very unhappy. However, it is also a great good thing to be able to become an adult.

"Worship heaven and earth!" Luo Mingfang hurriedly reminded.

"Less talk! I know!" Nahawu shouted, "One worship heaven and earth, two worship the high hall, husband and wife worship each other, and send them to the bridal chamber!"

"Didn't you never get married?" Luo Mingfang was very surprised.

Nahawu said proudly, "Have you never eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run away?"

Hannagan stared at a pair of blue eyes and asked, "What does Lord Zhou have to do with pigs?"

"This..." Luo Mingfang hurriedly explained, "The meal is about to start. The teacher invited us to eat pork."

Although the wedding is simple, the wedding wine is indispensable. More than a dozen soldiers served wine and meat, and the men drank happily in the hall. Zhao Han, Cuihua and Liu Yingshu accompanied the old lady of the Qin family, sitting in the east wing while eating.

The west wing is a bridal chamber. Zhao Qiaoer sat on the kang head with a cover on her head.

Zhou Charter came to the kang, bowed deeply to Zhao Qiaoer and said, "Qiaoer, thank you."

Zhao Qiaoer's body trembled slightly and had no words.

"Chuoer, thank you very much for this. If it weren't for you, I would really fall into the fire!" Damn, I..." Zhou Charter suddenly stopped, and he clearly saw that Zhao Qiaoer's red cover was soaked with tears.

Zhou Charter panicked: "Qiaoer, you cried so much. Qiaoer, tell me what I did wrong? I will correct it immediately. Don't cry on this happy day. If they know this, they will definitely say that I bullied you.

"You just bullied me! You didn't treat me as your wife!" Zhao Qiaoer said, and tears kept flowing.
