Marrying Salted Fish

Chapter 1

In the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion, the wedding night.

After the two bridesmaids finished their work, they filed out of the inner room with the maids from the marquis's mansion. Before they even walked out of the door, they couldn't wait to whisper to each other.

"I've lived for most of my life, and I've never seen such a handsome man."

"It's a pity to marry a sickly person, alas."

"What's a pity? He will be the young master of the Marquis's mansion when he marries. If it weren't for the birth date that would bring good luck to the young Marquis, would the Marquis and his wife be interested in the son of the fifth-rank Imperial Hospital judge?"

"What you said makes sense. Whether this is a blessing or a curse, we will have to wait for some time to know."

…

During the conversation, the bridesmaid came to the outer room, and before closing the two doors, she looked inside: in the midst of the festive red, the newly married young master of the marquis's mansion was wearing a wedding veil on his head, sitting quietly on the wedding bed like a jade sculpture.

The door slowly closed, and only the happily married couple were left in the bridal chamber.

The surroundings were quiet, and Lin Qingyu's back, which had been stiff for a day, finally relaxed. He moved his body slightly, and the tassels on his wedding veil swayed.

Wearing a wedding veil is really inconvenient. When a woman gets married, her husband should lift the veil on her head, and the same should be true for men.

However, her husband might not be able to do this.

His... "husband".

Lin Qingyu raised his hand to take off the wedding veil for himself, and his vision finally became wider. He looked around at the light gauze curtains, red curtains and warm quilts in front of him. Finally, he cast his eyes on the man sleeping on the bed - the young marquis of Nan'an Marquis Mansion, Lu Wancheng.

Under the candlelight, Lin Qingyu looked at Lu Wancheng expressionlessly.

Lu Wancheng was wearing a bright red wedding dress, with eyebrows like distant mountains, long and thick eyelashes, thin cheeks, and lips as pale as paper. Even with his eyes closed and his body weak, he could still be seen to have a very good appearance.

From today on, this person is his husband.

Although she was a man, she became the wife of another man - he was the first male wife to be "legally married" in the Dayu Dynasty.

It's ridiculous.

He prepared for the Imperial Medical Bureau's examination for three years. If he passed the examination, he would become a medical officer like his father. Even if he did not enter the palace, he could open a medicine shop in the capital and become an ordinary doctor.

Unfortunately, just when he was about to make his grand plan, the Empress Central Palace called his father to her side and said, "I heard that you have a son, born on March 11, Guiwei year, at the hour of Chen. Is that true?"

After receiving a positive reply from Lin's father, the Queen asked the Emperor to grant the Lin family a marriage and betroth Lin Qingyu to the eldest son of Nan'an Marquis, Lu Wancheng.

It was known to all the dignitaries in the capital that Lu Wancheng was born with deficiencies and had been bedridden for many years. When he was born, the Marquis of Nan'an specially invited the imperial physician to come to the mansion to see him. The imperial physician had asserted that the young Marquis Lu would not live past the age of twenty.
