Chapter Sixty-Three:
Taking a Concubine The Ding residence was brightly decorated, and servants were bustling about, even Ding Shou was running around like a headless
chicken.
"Qianniang, why aren't you in Yu Nu's room helping her with her makeup? What are you doing running around like this?" Ding Shou
asked Qianniang, who was looking around.
Seeing Ding Shou, Qianniang breathed a sigh of relief. "Second Master, please go and see. Yu Nu has thrown a tantrum again and insists
that you come over."
"The Jiang family's wedding party will arrive in half an hour. What trouble are they causing now?" Ding Shou frowned and followed
Qianniang to Yu Nu's room.
Yu Nu, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, sat upright in front of the dressing table. She snorted when she saw Ding Shou enter. "Sister Qianniang
, please wait outside for a moment. I have something to discuss with this boy."
Seeing Ding Shou nod, Qianniang turned and went out.
"My dear sister, what's gotten into you again?" Ding Shou approached Yu Nu with a lewd grin,
leaning down to put his arm around her shoulder. "You're reluctant to marry, aren't you? I couldn't ask for more."
Yu Nu brushed away Lu Shan's hand that was reaching for her chest, scolding, "Don't touch me like that! This outfit has been worn for so long
, it'll be hard to fix if it's messed up." Turning her head, she said softly, "Young man, after today I'll be a member of the Jiang family . While
I'm still free, take me one more time."
How could Ding Shou refuse such tender affection? He reached out and embraced her slender waist, about to kiss her cherry lips deeply.
Unexpectedly, Yu Nu pushed his face away, "I've been getting ready since this morning, don't ruin it."
"What should I do?" Looking at Yu Nu's neatly styled hair and red satin dress, the Second Master
felt like a dog trying to bite a hedgehog, unable to find a starting point.
Seeing his expression, Yu Nu couldn't help but chuckle. She turned around and leaned over a bench, lifting her horse-face skirt to her waist
and pulling her bright red silk trousers down to her knees. She turned her head and gave him a flirtatious wink: "Silly little brother, hurry up and come."
Looking at Yu Nu's snow-white, upturned buttocks, Ding Shou's crotch was already erect. Without saying anything more, he took off his trousers and
thrust himself into that bright red crevice.
Yu Nu was jolted off balance by the force of the thrust, quickly grabbing the stool and complaining, "Gently! You know your own
limitations. If you break it, how will you explain it to Jiang San?"
Ding Shou chuckled, playing with Yu Nu's plump, full-moon-like buttocks, his lower body thrusting incessantly, teasing
, "Sister is joking. Only oxen die from exhaustion, not fields that are ruined."
"Mmm..." The constant thrusting pleasure made Yu Nu moan with pleasure from time to time
. "That's for others. You, this wild ox, I wonder how many fertile fields you'll ruin. Oh... stop grinding, sister's
soul is leaving..."
Ding Shou held her pink, round buttocks, grinding deep into her flower core with a few thrusts, enjoying
the stimulation of her flower core enveloping his glans.
"Good... so comfortable... little brother... stop grinding, it's coming... ah—" Yu Nu's vaginal cavity
convulsed, and a gush of semen poured onto his large penis.
"Sister is utterly useless today." Ding Shou slowed his pace, reaching for Yu Nu's chest.
Yu Nu gasped softly, unable to respond, only pushing away the demonic hand again.
"Good sister, let me touch your breasts, it's so unsettling to be empty-handed." She pleaded, but her waist thrust forcefully
several times until it was fully inside.
Yu Nu's brows furrowed from the thrusting. "Stop it, with your reckless nature, if you really touched me, this
wedding dress would be torn to shreds, how could I go out today?"
Ding Shou withdrew his hand sheepishly, kneading her two plump pink buttocks even more forcefully.
Seeing his gloomy expression, Yu Nu felt a pang of pity, hardening her heart and saying, "I give up,
I'll give you my back door today, are you satisfied now?"
"Really?!" Ding Shou exclaimed in surprise, his thumb already unconsciously kneading the light brown anus.
"That night I discovered you were up to no good by touching my back door, humph, so be it.
" Yu Nu gave a seductive humph, then her face tightened, and she cried out in pain, "Be gentle, don't poke around."
Ding Shou's thumb was already deep inside, feeling the dry heat inside, and through the thin layer of skin, he could even clearly
feel the veins of his own penis inside her vagina.
The invasion of her foreign place made Yu Nu's whole body tense up, and the walls of her vaginal cavity contracted, making it even more stimulating. Ding Shou ignored it and
thrust dozens more times, causing Yu Nu to ejaculate wildly again.
Yu Nu slumped weakly on the stool, panting, "You little rascal, if you don't do it now, I won't have the strength to...
to keep you company."
Ding Shou said nothing more, withdrawing his large, purplish-red mushroom head from her wet vulva. The moment it touched her anus
, Yu Nu trembled with tension. "Young man, be careful,"
she replied. Ding Shou turned and took a bottle of rose essence from the dressing table, pouring it all over the cleft of her
buttocks. Instantly, the fragrance filled the air, and her snow-white flesh was covered with a glossy sheen.
With his erect penis, he half-squatted behind Yu Nu, aiming at her brown slit. Ding Shou spread her snow-white, plump
buttocks as far as he could, and thrust his hips forward.
"Ah—" Yu Nu cried out in pain, her body trembling, cold sweat beading on her forehead, her
delicate feet, clad in embroidered shoes, kicking wildly.
With the lubrication of the perfume, it slid in more than halfway in one go. Ding Shou felt the narrow, hot fleshy hole contracting tightly around
his huge penis, and he was incredibly excited. However, Yu Nu's appearance made him hesitant to go deeper, and the two of them remained motionless,
frozen in place.
Yu Nu took a few breaths, slowly getting used to the tearing pain. The inexplicable swelling and urge to defecate gave her a strange
feeling. She reached behind her buttocks and patted Ding Shou's lower abdomen. "Young man, you can move. I can take it."
Ding Erye, as if receiving a royal decree, spread her buttocks apart and thrust in forcefully, penetrating to the hilt.
Yu Nu frowned and let out a muffled groan, but still cooperated by swaying her body. Her anal sphincter tightened, and
Ding Shou felt as if his penis was about to be broken. He could no longer hold back and thrust in and out with great force.
As she gradually got used to it, Yu Nu's buttocks gradually relaxed, making it easier for his penis to enter and exit. Ding Shou cupped her
full moon with both hands, enjoying the fleshy elasticity of her snowy buttocks and the hot stimulation inside her intestines, and his speed increased.
Lying prone on the bench, Yu Nu's face was buried in her arms, her eyebrows still slightly furrowed.
The friction and swelling in her intestines brought waves of pleasure to her, and she couldn't help but moan softly.
Just as the two were sweating profusely, Qian Niang pushed open the door and entered. "Second Master, the wedding procession has arrived." Seeing
the two in the room, so engrossed in their lovemaking, she couldn't help but gasp and quickly closed the door.
Ding Shou continued to thrust rapidly and forcefully, beckoning Qian Niang to his side. With a ripping sound, he
tore open her blue cloth coat, pulled off her undergarment, and grabbed her full breasts, kneading them roughly.
The sudden attack brought no pleasure. Qian Niang endured the strange sensation in her chest and pleaded, "Second
Master, the wedding procession has arrived at the gate. It's time for the newlyweds to leave. Ouch... Master, it hurts—"
Neither of them responded. Yu Nu desperately thrust her hips back, while Ding Shou
vigorously pumped in and out of her anus, the bench creaking and groaning as it hit the floor. Knowing this man's lustful nature
, Qian Niang had no choice but to support Yu Nu's waist and hips.
Seeing the familiar spot where the large penis was entering and exiting, Qian Niang covered her lips with her hand and gasped. Why
was the Second Master playing with Yu Nu's anus? Didn't he find it disgusting? Yu Nu seemed to be enjoying it, moaning comfortably. "
What if the Second Master wanted my...that thing? It'll tear me apart!" Thinking of this shameful thought, Qian
Niang unconsciously covered her plump buttocks with her hands.
Ding Shou, unaware of what the woman beside him was thinking, thrust rapidly hundreds of times until a sudden numbness shot through his waist
. A wave of tingling sensation ran through his penis as a thick stream of semen gushed into Yu Nu's anus, making her scream in pleasure.
Ding Shou stood up and pulled his penis out of her anus. He then pulled Qian Niang down between his legs and shoved his still-erect
penis into her mouth.
Caught off guard by the sudden entry of his penis into her lips, Qian Niang felt nauseous thinking about where it had just been pulled out, but dared not push it away
. She savored the scent of roses on his penis before finally feeling relieved and sucking up the remaining semen from Ding Shou's seminal vesicles,
swallowing it all…
************
The newlyweds, supported by their maids, stepped into the bridal sedan chair. A shout of "Lift the sedan chair!" was heard, cannons were fired, and music played. The sedan chair was lifted, and the wedding
procession turned and drove away.
Yue Xian, who had been with Yu Nu for over a year, stood at the door watching the procession disappear into the distance, sighing deeply, until a
shameless man approached her.
Yu Shou brushed away the hand that had been groping her buttocks behind her back, and glanced sideways: "There are so many people here,
what would it look like if they saw us?" Then she looked around and asked curiously, "Where's Qian Niang? Why didn't she come out to see us off?"
The shameless man habitually touched his nose and laughed: "She's in the back house washing and changing, it's inconvenient for her
to come out."
Yu Shou knew her brother-in-law's temperament well, and said with embarrassment and annoyance: "Couldn't you have chosen a better time?!" She turned and
went into the house.
Ding Shou hurriedly chased after her, supporting her fragrant shoulder with a forced smile, "Sister-in-law, please don't be offended. How about
I apologize to you alone tonight?"
Yue Xian spat, "You've already taken a new bride in just a few days, and you still haven't acted properly."
Ding Shou stopped upon hearing this, as if waking from a dream: "I almost forgot, my good day is almost here..."
************
Li Fengjie looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Her braids had been loosened and coiled into a woman's bun, and the fine down on her jade-like
face was being slowly removed by colorful silk threads.
"One line on the left brings a noble son, one line on the right brings a beautiful boy, three lines on one side bring a son, and every baby will be a unicorn
. Eyebrows drawn into crescent shapes, a top scholar, a second-place scholar, a third-place scholar. We congratulate you today, congratulations on becoming a bride.
" Helping Fengjie with the face-opening was a woman from Xuanfu who had both parents and children. As she helped open the face, she kept
chanting the "Face-Opening Song."
After the face was opened, several women and maids came to help with the makeup. Li Long's family had long since exhausted their savings;
they had only hastily prepared the dowry after receiving the betrothal gifts from Ding Shou. These maids were hired temporarily, so they spoke less
formally.
As various gold and silver ornaments were placed on her hair, a woman looked at Li Feng in the mirror and exclaimed in admiration, "Young lady
, you are so lucky! I've been in this business for so long, and this is the first time I've seen such a presentable headdress."
A round-faced maid who was bending down to change Feng Jie's shoes looked up and said, "Of course, this headdress was
a gift from the Governor-General to the Ding family; it's naturally very presentable."
The tall maid behind Feng Jie, who was helping to adjust her blue satin skirt, turned around and exclaimed, "Really?! Does that
Second Master Ding have such great influence ?" "Even the Governor-General has to give gifts?"
The round-faced maid said smugly. "Of course it's true. Aunt Meilian, who's in charge of purchasing for the Ding family, told my mother
. She even said that if the manor hires anyone else, they'll bring me in too. Hehe, then the manor will definitely be eating and drinking well every day."
The tall maid teased with a hint of envy, "Come on, you can eat so much, which master would want
you?"
The round-faced girl immediately became anxious, "Who eats a lot? Don't ruin people's reputations. I'm just a
little chubby, I don't eat much."
"Alright, alright, today is someone's big day, why are you all making such a fuss?" The woman saw Li Feng's
dejected expression and stopped her.
Several people carried over the bright red cloak and helped Li Feng put it on. A woman helped fasten the hexagram knot, stroking the
embroidered seasonal flowers and plants on the cloak, and exclaimed, "The embroidery is truly exquisite; only a color like yours is worthy of it
."
"Sister Feng, I heard the Ding family's dowry is so large it could buy our entire alley, is that true?" a round-faced maid
asked with the curiosity of a child.
Feng Jie looked at her innocent face, forced a smile, and gently shook her head without speaking.
"With such limited knowledge, you think you can enter the Ding family? The Ding family's dowry alone includes thirty shops, which I heard
they bought recently without even haggling. The entire dowry could probably buy half of Xuanfu City." The tall maid
was determined to oppose her today.
The round-faced maid stuck out her tongue in fright, "Heavens! I've never seen such a generous dowry in my life!
Sister Feng, you're so lucky!"
Although the *Ming Household Ordinance* stipulated regulations for wedding ceremonies between gentry and commoners, emphasizing the disregard for empty formalities, ordinary people still
considered the size of the dowry and betrothal gifts a matter of face. However, generally speaking, the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was aware of the common people's...
Despite the hardships, he showed compassion for the common people in many ways. Besides discouraging exorbitant dowries and simplifying the traditional six rites of marriage to three, he also prohibited
the outdated custom of betrothal in childhood.
He declared, "All marriages between men and women should be arranged at their proper time; any betrothal by cutting the hem of a garment in the womb is strictly prohibited." He further stated, "All men aged sixteen and women aged fourteen and above are permitted to marry." Frankly speaking, if
the brothers, driven to desperation by the pressures of marriage, housing, and cars, were to travel back to the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty and live as ordinary citizens, their lives might be much
easier.
Several men considered this a great blessing, but Li Feng didn't see it that way. Becoming a concubine was
simply being bought, no matter how high the price.
"Sister, are you ready?" Li Long's voice rang out from outside the room. "The sedan chair has arrived."
"Alright, alright, Manager Li, come in!" the woman called out loudly.
Li Long, also dressed in festive attire, entered through the door and approached Li Feng. He bent over and knelt, saying, "Sister
, get on."
Li Feng let her brother carry her on his back. Along the way, congratulations poured in from everyone. She simply leaned gently on Li Long's shoulder and said
, "Brother, I won't be by your side anymore. Take good care of yourself." "
Don't worry, sister. The old shop has been taken back, and we've also merged with several other shops in the surrounding area. Our family's life will
only get better and better." Li Long was overjoyed as he placed his sister in the bridal sedan chair. "The Ding family is very generous. The bridal sedan chair
entered through the main gate, and we even had to bow to heaven and earth. Everything is done according to the rules for a legal wife."
He had ruined his daughter's innocence. Should she be grateful for everything that should have been hers? As the sedan chair was lifted,
Li Feng smiled sadly. She turned to the sedan chair window, wanting to say something to her brother again, but her eyes flickered, and she sighed softly, speechless
.

While
drums and gongs were being played in Xuanfu City, a group of people quietly entered the city.
After the gate guards checked the visitors' seals, they obediently stepped aside, bowed, and made way.
"Old General, you've been here for a long time. Everyone in Xuanfu is making a ruckus and rushing to one place. Is there some local custom
?" A refined old man in a green robe asked a sprightly white-haired old man beside him. The old man shook his head, puzzled, and said, "This old man doesn't know." He then 　　nodded to
a young man behind him who bore a resemblance to him . 　　The young man rode forward, stopped a passerby, asked a few questions, and then turned back. "Father, Commander Liu 　　, according to the locals, someone here is taking a concubine and has prepared a ten-day feast. Anyone who comes to offer their congratulations 　　will receive fifty coins." 　　The old man in the green robe chuckled and said with a smile, "Such extravagance for taking a concubine? Xuanfu is truly a treasure trove 　　." 　　The white-haired old man didn't answer, but slightly raised his eyelids. "Who is this concubine?" 　　"His surname is Ding, and his given name is Shou." 　　The old man in the green robe's expression changed, but then he said calmly, "Old Commander, we've had a long journey . 　　How about we become his unwelcome guests?" The white-haired old man's expression 　　was indifferent 　　. "I will 　　follow 　　Commander's arrangements." 　　********** ... 　　"Ladies, Madam is entertaining female guests who came to offer congratulations, so she cannot dine with you. She has instructed you to dine on your own," 　　Meilian said demurely, having arranged the dishes. 　　"Thank you for your trouble, sister," Chuchu replied with a bright smile. 　　"This servant is unworthy of being addressed like that by the young lady," Meilian bowed, then said indignantly, "Our master is really something 　　, refusing to take in two celestial maidens like you two, instead bringing in a tavern girl from outside as a concubine, and 　　making such a big fuss about it, without any sense of first come, first served. This servant truly feels sorry for the two young ladies." 　　The two women exchanged a smile, Chuchu said lightly, "Chuchu is down on her luck, fortunate to have your pity. Whoever Shoulang likes 　　or wants to marry, I don't care, nor do I want to worry about it." 　　The shrewd and experienced Du Yunniang smiled brightly, "This servant hasn't served the master as long as you have, so I wouldn't dare 　　to speak ill of him like that, but what you say makes sense. Otherwise, I'll pass this on to the master later." 　　Meilian's face turned pale, and she repeatedly said no, quickly packing up the food box and leaving. 　　"Our steward outside is dreaming that his daughter can become one of the master's concubines," Du Yunniang 　　chuckled. 　　Chu Chu casually picked up a chess piece and said, "The hearts of parents are always full of love and worry." 　　The 　　newlyweds were welcomed in, and under the guidance 　　of the officiant, they bowed to heaven and earth and their ancestors, then to each other. Although she was a concubine, fortunately, there was no first wife before her, so Li Feng missed the tea-serving ceremony. 　　Ding Shou led Feng Jie into the bridal chamber, and according to custom, they drank the nuptial wine. Li Feng merely went through the motions 　　without uttering a word. 　　Kneeling, Ding Shou looked up at the beautiful face sitting on the wedding bed and said softly, "Our first meeting 　　was by chance, the second was an accident. I know you suffered then, but you don't know you saved me." 　　Feng Jie remained silent, her eyes blank. 　　Ding Shou smiled wryly and shook his head. "The past cannot be changed. I will treat you well from now on." 　　The beauty remained silent, but her eyes shone with a gleam. 　　"Second Master, Eunuch Miao has come to offer his congratulations," Mei Lian's voice rang out from outside the room. 　　"Understood." Ding Shou stood up. "Eat something if you're hungry, don't wait for me." He went out and instructed, 　　"Take good care of her." 　　Meilian responded and went inside to greet him. "What are your orders, Madam?" 　　Fengjie shook her head. "You are...?" 　　"This servant is Meilian. I used to manage the Ding family's wine business." 　　Fengjie said "Oh." Having worked at the wine counter for so long, she naturally knew that the Ding family's "Liu Ling Zui" was managed by a woman 　　, but she had never met her. 　　"Speaking of which, Madam is truly blessed." Meilian flattered. 　　"Why does everyone say I'm blessed? Is being a concubine really that good?" Li Fengjie smiled bitterly. 　　"Of course! Which woman in the entire mansion hasn't the Second Master slept with? Yet he only brought you into the house in a bridal sedan 　　chair. It's clear he truly loves you." 　　"What did you say? He... he and other women..." Fengjie stood up agitatedly, trembling all over, her face 　　deathly pale.

Meilian quickly covered her mouth, "This servant is talking nonsense, please don't take it seriously, this servant will take her leave."
Fengjie slumped onto the wedding bed, the two streams of tears she had held back all day finally rolling down her cheeks.
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
"This little matter of mine has troubled you, Father-in-law, to grace us with your presence. Forgive me, forgive me." Ding Shou went outside,
greeted Jiang Bin and the others who came to offer their congratulations, and led Miao Kui into the inner hall.
"How could we not come to your brother's happy occasion?" Miao Kui affectionately took Ding Shou's arm. After waiting until no one was around
, he whispered, "Brother, your concubine-taking ceremony is quite extravagant. I heard your new bride even
entered the house wearing a bright red wedding dress. Aren't you afraid those high-ranking officials in the court will cause you trouble?"
"I'm a mischievous boy, I don't know etiquette. Even if they complain to His Majesty, what can they do? A fine or a reprimand
? Getting a scolding to please my wife is worth it." Ding Shou said nonchalantly.
Miao Kui clapped his hands in praise, "Good, brother, you're still a man of principle. For that, I'll have a few more drinks later."
"How's the situation at court?" Ding Shou asked as the two took their seats.
"Che Zhenqing is in prison, and for now, nobody's paying attention to him. But that old fellow Liu Daxia is in some trouble,
" Miao Kui said gleefully.
The court has so many censors, and they're all just scheming to impeach people.
A case like this—colluding with foreign powers—is enough to give these men a shot of adrenaline. Che Ting is already a fallen dog; impeaching him
won't show any real ability. So, these people have set their sights on Liu Daxia, who recommended Che Ting.
To say that Liu Dongshan, a veteran official of several dynasties, was a poor judge of character and merely a figurehead was an understatement; as for Che Zhenqing, who colluded with the Tatars
, was there no one behind the scenes? Perhaps someone wanted to lure the enemy in, like the story of Shi Jingtang of the Five Dynasties—all sorts of absurd memorials
were being seen. It was all hearsay,
and they were determined to make sensational claims. What could you do to them? Ding Shou found it amusing. "Does anyone believe these memorials?"
Miao Kui scoffed. "The writers probably don't believe them either. They're just desperate for fame. Once Liu Daxia
makes a show of resigning, his henchmen will sing his praises, the Emperor will offer words of encouragement to keep him
, and that'll be the end of it."
"Is there any powerful figure pulling the strings behind the scenes?" Ding Shou asked worriedly.
Miao Kui shook his head. "It's an open secret. The personnel for Xuanfu have been decided. Eunuch Liu and the cabinet won't get involved in
this mess."
"Who has been decided?" Ding Shou was still concerned about the selection of his superior.
Just as Miao Kui was about to speak, Qian Ning suddenly reported, "My lord, the newly appointed governor of Xuanfu, Liu Jing, and General Shen Ying have come to
offer their congratulations."
************
The red candles dripped tears, but no more tears could flow from the beautiful, pale face.
Gently twisting the knot at her chest, Li Feng murmured to herself, "He says he'll treat me well in the future, but he'll still use
his power to take concubines one after another. I am a lowly woman, you are a high-ranking official. I can't stop you from falling for other women
, but I can ensure you'll never forget me in this life."
The wedding ceremony ended, and the bright red wedding dress that everyone envied rolled into the dust. The upturned shoes stepped onto the black lacquered round stool, and
a red ribbon hung from the rafters.
"Women's lives are bitter, only to be men's playthings. I only wish I wouldn't be born a woman in my next life..." Her beautiful eyes closed slightly, her slender neck
slipped into a noose, and Feng Jie cruelly kicked over the round stool beneath her feet...
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
"We, Liu and others, have taken the liberty of visiting your home and inviting you to our celebratory feast. We hope Lord Ding will not take offense." The newly appointed Governor of Xuanfu
, Liu Jing, was all smiles, even before speaking.
Ding Shou wondered why all the governors of Xuanfu had such a smiling face, but still politely said, "You flatter
us, sir. It is my great honor to have you two grace us with your presence. Please come in."
Liu Jing nodded, smiling broadly as he followed Ding Shou into the hall. The white-haired Shen Ying deliberately lagged behind, cupping his hands
in thanks without speaking, but most of the Xuanfu military officers who came to offer their congratulations rose from their seats to bow, their attitudes respectful.
"Venerable General, you have long served on the frontier with illustrious reputation. I, Liu, am ashamed to admit my inferiority
. The court's decision to appoint you to oversee Xuanfu is truly a testament to their discerning eye," Liu Jing flattered. "
Lord Liu, you are too kind. I have spent many years on the battlefield and naturally know more of these warriors than you,
Lord General, who serves in the interior and whose affairs are always concerned with the people's livelihood," Shen Ying replied humbly.
"Old Shen, stop your rambling. The food is getting cold. Come and sit down," Miao Kui, who was sitting at the head of the table, stood up and offered a seat
. "So, Eunuch Miao is here too.
It's been a long time since we last met. You are still as dignified as ever, congratulations
!" Shen Ying stepped forward and bowed.
"You old man, you're still as dashing as ever, vigorous as ever, congratulations!" Miao Kui teased, then looked
at the young man behind Shen Ying, "Is this your son?"
"My son, Shen Zhou, has obtained a position as a deputy commander and is gaining experience by my side." Shen Ying turned to his son
and said, "Come over and greet Eunuch Miao and Lord Ding."
"This humble Shen Zhou greets Eunuch Miao and Lord Ding." Shen Zhou stepped forward and gave a crisp military salute.
"Please rise, brother. Hehe, indeed a tiger cub from a military family, the old general has a worthy successor." Miao Kui helped Shen Zhou up
and turned to Ding Shou, saying, "General Shen has long served in the border towns, once commanding Xuanfu. I've
known him since Yansui. Last year, he accompanied the Duke of Baoguo to aid Xuanfu, and it's been a year since we last met."
"So the old general still has the virtue of helping you, I thank you." Ding Shou gave a half-bow, which Shen Ying repeatedly said was too much to
ask, and stepped aside.
Liu Jing stood smiling to the side, seemingly oblivious to being neglected. Only after the pleasantries
were over did he approach, pulling a gift list from his sleeve. "This is a small token of my appreciation for the New Year. I hope Lord Ding will accept it.
"
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Your Excellency," Ding Shou said, puzzled. How could this man, who had just arrived in Xuanfu, have already prepared a gift list? Liu Jing didn't make Ding Shou guess too much. "I heard that I 　　was promoted
to Right Vice Censor-in-Chief and Governor of Xuanfu. The Shandong Garrison Commander, Eunuch Bi, asked me to present him with a gift. It just so happens that this is a case of passing on a gift. I will present it to you another day." 　　Before Ding Shou could refuse, Liu Jing added with a smile, "When I was serving as the Shandong Provincial Treasurer, I wanted to take the opportunity to 　　have a drink with you in Dengzhou, but alas, fate prevented us from meeting." 　　The Shandong Garrison Commander, Bi Zhen, came from the household of Luo Xiang, the Director of the Imperial Kitchen. Since Liu Jing was on such good terms with him, he must be 　　someone Liu Jin had in his pocket. Ding Shou no longer stood on ceremony. "As the saying goes, good food is worth waiting for. I was presumptuous last time and kept you 　　waiting. Today's meeting is to continue our previous friendship. Let's drink until we're drunk."

Everyone applauded and took their seats. Miao Kui laughed, "Brother Ding, with such a grand wedding,
could you please invite the bride out so we can see her?"
The three carriages of the commander of Xuanfu were present, and Ding Shou didn't refuse. He instructed Qianniang to fetch Aunt Li, and
said to everyone with a smile, "A country bumpkin, plain and ordinary, I'm afraid she'll disappoint you all."
"Alright, brother, don't be hypocritical. Who can fool the smug look on your face?" Miao Kui teased
.
Ding Shou blushed, a rare occurrence, and quickly said, "Let's drink, let's drink," changing the subject.
Before a round of drinks had been finished, a flurry of sounds of people collapsing in the back courtyard was heard. Ding Shou frowned, wondering who was being so disrespectful
. He turned around and saw Qianniang, Meilian, and others stumbling over, panting, "Second
Master, something terrible has happened! The...the bride...she..."
