Chapter 29: Bridal Chamber, System Mall

After everyone entered Furong Garden, they took their seats one after another.

It was nearly dusk, and the wedding ceremony began.

In the Tang Dynasty at this time, weddings were held in the afternoon and the ceremony took place at dusk; the character for "marriage" (hun) originated from "dusk" (hun), taking the meaning of the time of day.

With the development of the times, ancient weddings gradually formed the "morning welcome, evening ceremony." In the morning, the man's family went to the woman's family to welcome the bride, and the wedding ceremony was held at dusk. The word "marriage" is split into "woman" and "dusk," where "dusk" refers to the time of dusk. The ancients believed that dusk was an auspicious time, so they held the wedding ceremony at dusk, hence the name.

Today, Uncle Fu and the Bearded Guest sat as Su Liang's elders, and Emperor Li Er and Empress Zhangsun sat in high positions.

Li Jing, Lady Hongfu, Zhangsun Wuji, and the Gao family sat on both sides.

Under the guidance of the master of ceremonies...

Su Liang and the girls walked on the red carpet in Furong Garden. The golden boy and jade girl scattered grains behind them. The newlyweds crossed the brazier, the saddle, and the rice bag.

At this moment, Er Hu also brought the Overlord Sky-Splitting Bow. Su Liang took it and shot three arrows without hesitation, confirming these marriages.

The people watching the ceremony saw Su Liang's five-hundred-step archery again.

After a series of cumbersome rituals such as three kowtows and nine bows, and exchanging tokens, Su Liang and Changle were sent to the bridal chamber.

Entering the room, they ushered in the link that gave Su Liang a headache: writing the Que Shan poem!

At this moment, a crowd of people were crowding at the door, eavesdropping.

Today they didn't dare to make trouble in Su Liang's bridal chamber, but they hadn't heard Su Liang write a poem for a long time, so they all wanted to hear Su Liang's poem as soon as possible.

Everyone wanted to hear what kind of Que Shan poem the Imperial Son-in-law could write today.

A good Que Shan poem would be passed down by men and women in Changan City, and Su Liang could not afford to be careless.

Su Liang had no choice but to change a poem, then cleared his throat and chanted: "Red sleeves add fragrance, hard to abandon; drinking in the morning and evening, growing old together. Born as a talented man and a beautiful woman, I only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals."

The last two lines came from the Tang Dynasty poet Lu Zhaolin's "Changan Ancient Meaning," and the first two lines were improvised by Su Liang. The whole poem was quite appropriate.

Yu Shinan heard it clearly and couldn't help but exclaim: "The Prince of Chu has great talent! Every word is a classic through the ages!"

Li Er laughed heartily: "Hahaha... what a 'red sleeves add fragrance,' a double entendre!"

"Very good... very good!!"

"Red sleeves add fragrance" means a beautiful woman is by one's side to accompany one in reading, and the second meaning is that a young and beautiful woman is getting married.

Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and others also praised it one after another.

Li Er saw that there were more and more people gathered outside the room, and he was unhappy.

He immediately said happily: "The Que Shan poem has been heard, are all the ministers satisfied?"

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

Li Er then scolded: "Since you are all satisfied, then all leave, don't delay me from holding my grandson!"

Since Changle moved to Furong Garden, Li Er had sent people to pay close attention to Changle's walking posture, fearing that Changle would become pregnant and damage the royal face.

Now he wished Changle would become pregnant sooner.

Su Liang did not disappoint Li Er at the time. For his main wife, Su Liang also wanted to save it for the wedding day, and Changle was the same.

Everyone dispersed when they heard this, drinking if they wanted to drink, and doing whatever they wanted to do.

There were enough rooms in Furong Garden, even if they were drunk, they could all stay.

After Su Liang chanted the Que Shan poem, Changle threw the round fan aside. She had waited too long for this day.

Then, without any shyness, she threw the hundred-bird-facing-phoenix wedding dress to the maid...

The maid was instantly dumbfounded.

This was too generous.

Just then, the system's reward arrived...

"Ding: Congratulations to the host for completing the task of marrying Changle. The reward has been credited. Do you want to merge it now?"

"Merge!"

Su Liang said without hesitation.

Changle saw Su Liang stunned in place and smiled: "Husband, a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, what are you still stunned for?"

Then she pulled down the red curtain and began to be unscrupulous.

The maid on the side felt sorry for her...

That night in Furong Garden, everyone celebrated all night, drinking and reveling.

Those with good drinking capacity drank Zui Tang, and those with poor drinking capacity drank Son of Heaven Xiao.

There was really no other way, the wine was not only delicious, but also hard to buy!

That was why everyone was so unscrupulous.

The next day at noon, Su Liang slowly got up.

After washing, he lay lazily on the rocking chair, basking in the sun.

Just then, Miss Ruyan walked over, holding a bowl of special lamb offal soup.

With a smile on her lips, she giggled: "Young Master, drink some soup, and nourish your kidneys well."

When she passed by the door last night, she heard the sound of the earth shaking and the mountains rocking.

In a few months, Changle had already brewed it well.

Su Liang immediately snorted: "Hmph... I won't drink it!!"

Su Liang thought to himself: Who are you looking down on? Do you think it's the same as before? Just yesterday, I completed the system task of marrying Changle. Now the reward of the true man physique has arrived, and I can recover thirteen times a night. What a joke!

"Young Master, now that you are newlyweds, and Princess Changle is a woman for the first time, I'm afraid she won't easily let you go these few nights."

"Young Master, you should be obedient and drink it!" Miss Ruyan smiled.

Su Liang couldn't explain his current physique, and looking at Miss Ruyan's pitiful eyes, he had no choice but to drink the lamb offal soup with tears in his eyes.

One day, I must let them both gain some knowledge!

Compared to Miss Ruyan and Yu Er, Changle and Little Sizi were the two sisters Su Liang was looking forward to more...

Just then, Li Er walked over.

He looked at Su Liang and asked: "Good son-in-law, the Retired Emperor sent someone over this morning, wanting to see you. When do you think is convenient?"

Su Liang yawned and said: "I know, isn't it returning to the bride's home within three days? Then tomorrow at noon, I have to go to the other two families the day after tomorrow."

"Haha... good... good, but good son-in-law, you... you also have to pay attention to your body." Li Er chuckled.

Su Liang was extremely depressed and wished he could shout immediately: That's because I'm sleepy... sleepy...!!

A moment later...

Li Er said slowly: "Good son-in-law, do you have any novel things you can give to the Retired Emperor? The Retired Emperor has not walked out of his grief."

"This time Changle's wedding, it was not easy for him to loosen his mouth and want to see people."

"How about I give him my automatic mahjong machine?" Su Liang asked, feeling sympathetic for Li Yuan in his heart.

Su Liang also endured the pain of parting with it for this, and would make another one later.

"This... this is also fine, but I'm afraid it's not enough." Li Er frowned, then patted Su Liang on the shoulder and smiled: "Good son-in-law, you think about it carefully, your mother and I will go see Changle first."

Just as Su Liang was thinking to himself...

The sound of the system in Su Liang's mind rang out abruptly.

"Ding: Congratulations to the host for completing the task of marrying Changle. The gift has arrived. Do you want to merge it now?"

"Ding: The system gives the host an encyclopedia search engine, which can know everything in the past five thousand years."

"Ding: The encyclopedia search engine has been integrated into the host's mind. The system reminds the host that the host only needs to recall the corresponding keywords in the mind to understand the corresponding knowledge."

"Damn! Damn! Damn!"

"System, you are so loving!!" Su Liang was overjoyed and immediately communicated with the system.

System: "Host, don't be excited yet. From today on, the system cancels the task mode."

Su Liang immediately asked: "What do you mean? The system won't issue new tasks in the future?"

System: "Congratulations to the host, you guessed it right. From today on, it will be changed to the mall mode."

Following the system's voice, various malls appeared in Su Liang's mind: department store mall, technology mall, military mall...

Su Liang was dazzled, from daily department stores to aircraft carriers, and even mobile phones, artificial satellites, etc.

However, everything needs prestige points to exchange.

Su Liang communicated with the system again: "System... system, how... how do these prestige points come from?"

System: "Every time the host helps someone, prestige points will be generated."

"According to the size of the matter, the prestige points generated by each person are also different, and at least one prestige point can be obtained."

"The host can exchange three times a day, and each time you open the mall, you need to consume ten thousand prestige points."

"Ding: The system mall is newly opened, and the host is given one million prestige points. Since the host has already checked it once, the current prestige points remain at nine hundred and ninety thousand."

Su Liang heard this and moved his mind, and a number appeared in his mind, which was nine hundred and ninety thousand.

Just then...

What made Su Liang incredible was...

The system, which had always been cold, suddenly laughed: "Hahaha... I have also achieved merit, and I will rely on you in the future. See you again if fate allows!"

"Old man... old man..." Su Liang muttered to himself, suddenly dumbfounded.

This... what is the situation, and what does it mean to see you again if fate allows?

"Damn! Damn!" Su Liang immediately got up and shouted loudly. "Old man... old man, don't go... you make it clear... I still have things to ask you..."

But no matter how Su Liang communicated, he could not get any response.

Li Er, who had not gone far, immediately turned his head and said angrily: "Stinky boy, who are you calling an old man? I am only thirty-three this year, am I that old?"

"Just married my precious daughter yesterday, and today you are so arrogant!!"

Su Liang was instantly awakened by Li Er's words.

"Hehe... misunderstanding, misunderstanding!!" Su Liang greeted quickly.

"Then tell me properly, who are you calling an old man." Li Er said.

"There is no one else around except the guards."

"Cough, cough..." Su Liang coughed twice when he heard this to ease the embarrassment.

Then he cleared his throat and continued: "I just suddenly remembered the old man I met when I was traveling, and the more I thought about it, the more angry I felt, so I..."

"Hehe... Father-in-law misunderstood... misunderstood..."

In an instant, Su Liang changed the subject and looked at Li Er confidently: "Son-in-law has good things to give to the Retired Emperor. There is a gadget that is more interesting than mahjong."

"Father-in-law, just wait, the Retired Emperor will be happy when he sees it."

That day, Su Liang spent all his prestige points, not only configuring leather bags for the girls, but also perfume, lipstick, foundation, etc.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty already had very fashionable crossbody bags, but they were not as exquisite as the ones Su Liang exchanged from the system.

However, at this time, the bag was not called a "bag," but a "Pei Nang," which originated from the arrow bag equipped by soldiers. Most of the clothes of the ancients had no pockets, so Pei Nang made of cloth appeared, worn at the waist, mainly to put keys, seals, vouchers, and other things that must be carried with you.

According to the size of the bag, there are different names. Large bags are called "Nang," and small bags are called "Tuo."

In the early days, leather bags were mostly used by men, while cloth bags were used by women.

"Book of Rites: Inner Rules" records: "Men use leather, women use silk." Han Zheng Xuan's note: "Pei, small bag, for holding towels. Men use leather, women use silk, with decorative edges." Later, men's bags could also be made of cloth.

Simply put, the ancients had various bags long ago, just with different names.

At this time, men's bags were mostly made of leather, while women's were made of cloth.

That night, in Furong Garden.

Empress Zhangsun had already finished bathing, and now she had changed into the fashionable underwear brought by Changle, and used the perfume exchanged by Su Liang.

Li Er got the secret small pill from Su Liang today, and was looking at Empress Zhangsun, who was like a lotus rising from the water, with great interest.

Su Liang was also moving between rooms.

During this time, Su Liang also carefully prepared No. 001 small clothes for Li Er, so as to take care of the Empress's body.

Hearing Su Liang's explanation, Li Er was also overjoyed. This was much better than fish bladders and sheep intestines.

The next morning.

Su Liang and Changle also got up early.

Today is the day to return to the bride's home, so they naturally got up relatively early.

It was not until after breakfast that they saw Li Er and Empress Zhangsun slowly come out of the room.

I saw Li Er full of spring breeze, and Empress Zhangsun was glowing, obviously the result of last night's hard work.

Su Liang looked at Li Er and smiled meaningfully.

After the two finished breakfast, the group took the carriage made by Su Liang to Da'an Palace...

"Good son-in-law, when will you make such a carriage for me? Your carriage is not only spacious and comfortable, but also as flat as walking on flat ground." Li Er started to take advantage of Su Liang again.

"I only heard the Empress mention it before, this is the first time I have sat in it today."

"Hehe... my carriage uses springs for shock absorption, so of course it is as flat as walking on flat ground." Su Liang glanced at Li Er disdainfully.

Li Er had long been used to hearing all kinds of words he didn't understand from Su Liang. At first, Su Liang would explain, but gradually Su Liang was too lazy to explain, and Li Er was too lazy to ask.

At this moment, Su Liang was calculating in his heart that he must find a way to get a Bentley from the system as soon as possible, so that he wouldn't have to ride a horse when going out, which was painful.

It's a pity that the prestige points required for the car are too high. The cheapest small car needs a full 100 million prestige points, which cannot be done in a short time.

Sigh...

Su Liang sighed helplessly.

Let's build the road first...

Currently, only a fifty-li road has been built. It seems that the progress must be accelerated.

Eh... wait, if the road is built on a large scale, wouldn't the prestige points...

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first!

Made a fortune... made a fortune...

Su Liang was already happy in his heart.

Just yesterday, through the situation learned from the encyclopedia search engine, some things must be done.

That old man's move clearly does not allow me to slack off.

A moment later, Su Liang looked at Li Er calmly and said: "I can make one for you, it will definitely be more luxurious and comfortable than my carriage, but..."

"But what? Good son-in-law, just say what you have to say..."

Li Er's eyes suddenly lit up!

At this moment, Changle, Little Sizi, and Empress Zhangsun were also looking at Su Liang with great interest.

They all wanted to see what Su Liang was up to again. ===== CHAPTER 30 =====
