After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 1148 Getting Married
Although there are many unknown hidden dangers beneath the peaceful surface of the Jin family, which may cause troubles to the new hostess in the future, Haitang is not worried about it.

After she marries Jin Jiashu, she will have more freedom of movement than she does now, but she won't be able to go out all day. She still has to take care of the home and do the logistical work for Jin Jiashu's studies so that she can have some fun in her free time.

At that time, being a housekeeper would be her "main job", and she would have to do something to pass the time. If the servants of the Jin family were too obedient and didn't cause any trouble for her, wouldn't life be too boring?
Nowadays, Jin Jiashu doesn't care about the household affairs, and concentrates on his studies and getting married; Ma Shangyi hastily tidied up the internal affairs of the Jin family and moved back to Jiyuan, not planning to spend too much energy on the trivial matters of the Jin family. They left Haitang with a little trouble, but after Haitang solved these little troubles, she must have a great sense of accomplishment, right?
When Haitang thought of this, she immediately perked up and became full of interest in the new challenges she would face after marriage.

At the end of April, the weather was getting hotter, but it was still a bit cool in the mornings and evenings. There was still some time before the hottest summer, so Haitang had her wedding first.

On the wedding day, she got up early in the morning. When the sky was just getting light, Mother Li and Xiangcao had already prepared warm water and helped her wash her face.

The lights were on throughout the Hai family's house, and it was brightly lit. Ma was in the main courtyard directing the wives and mothers to set up the tables and chairs, preparing to welcome the guests who came to congratulate them. Hai Xiya was invited to the front courtyard by his adopted son and two grandsons. They wanted to discuss what kind of difficult questions to give to the groom when blocking the door, so as not to let Jin Jiashu marry his precious daughter too easily.

Little Stone came up with a bad idea with great enthusiasm: "Let Jiashu perform a set of sword techniques? He learned it from Big Sister when he was in Chang'an, but it's been so long, I'm afraid he has forgotten it all! If he can't perform it, it means he doesn't care about Big Sister, we have to punish him severely!"

Haijiao was delighted when he heard this: "Yes, this is a good idea, let's do it!"

Hai Changan couldn't help but pat his son on the back of the head, "Don't make trouble!" He then advised Hai Jiao, "Xiao Jin is a scholar. When he was practicing martial arts in our family, he was almost the last one. He had a serious illness last year. Even if he recovers now, he can't compare with the past. If he can practice sword skills, it's fine, but what if he can't? Are you really not going to let him marry Tangtang? It will be troublesome if he misses the auspicious time!"

Hai Jiao was very reluctant, but thinking of his little sister, he relaxed: "Forget it, as long as he can wield the sword and perform a few sword techniques, he can get through this stage. There is no need to force him to perform the whole set of sword techniques. There will be many guests at home today. If they knew that our Hai family's grandson-in-law is so useless, we would lose face."

A small storm was dispelled. Hai Xiya stroked his beard and smiled, "Very good, very good. But our Hai family is not just a military family. Since my grandfather, my family has been familiar with poetry and books. We should come up with some difficult questions for scholars to test Xiao Jin, so that people know that our Hai family is a family of poetry and etiquette, not just rough people who know how to wield swords and guns."

Haijiao said with a smile: "How difficult is that? Grandpa, my cousin and his uncle will be here soon. The difficult questions about poetry and books should naturally be solved by a few talented people!"

Jin Jiashu originally studied with Xie Wenzai, Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian. If these three people set the questions, wouldn't they have to base it on his academic progress? What if cousin Xie and his friends asked Jin Jiashu to solve the questions on the spot and write an essay? Would today's wedding really go on smoothly?
Hai Xiya couldn't help but fall into deep thought for a moment.

Not long after, Xie Wenzai and his team arrived, bringing along several of the best students in Mingshutang. Geng Tianyou was not among them, as he would accompany Jin Jiashu to the wedding as a friend of the groom. Hai Xiya watched Cao Gengyun rubbing his hands, as if he was going to give his students a hard time and prevent Jin Jiashu from marrying his favorite female student easily, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He wiped his forehead with a handkerchief while laughing dryly, lamenting that the weather was really hot today, and pulled his cousin Xie Wenzai away, and the two cousins ​​went to talk in a low voice.

In the west courtyard, Haitang had already combed her hair, but had not yet put on her makeup. She thought the weather was too hot, and was afraid that if she put on her makeup too early, she would sweat and it would be troublesome to fix it, and the effect would not be good, so she left it like this for now. She also put on her wedding dress after putting on her makeup, so that she would not wear it too thick and airtight, which would make her sweat.

Zhuang Minyi came in holding a bowl of lotus seed and lily soup: "Are you hungry? Eat something quickly. There are still many things to do today, and you may not be able to eat on time. If you don't eat in advance, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."

Haitang was not worried. She had practiced internal skills and was strong. Even if she didn't eat two meals today, she wouldn't faint from hunger. But her sister-in-law sent her delicious and auspicious food, so how could she refuse? She immediately smiled and thanked Zhuang Minyi, and quickly ate the bowl of sugar soup.

Zhuang Minyi also prepared a purse of snacks for her, all of which were enough to fill her stomach and save her from emergencies. She asked her to carry it with her and take out some to eat when she needed it: "These snacks won't fall apart, have no smell, and won't choke you even if you don't drink water. It's best if you carry them with you. I'll ask Xiangcao to bring a purse of snacks with her as well. If you've finished your portion, ask her for more. Remember, you need to carry a purse of snacks with you at all times. You can't expect to ask the maid for more when you need them. These two purses of snacks may not be enough. If you get to the Jin family and someone brings you food, don't be shy. Eat as much as you can. You can't let yourself get away with it anyway!"

It sounds like a lesson learned from experience. Haitang couldn't help but think back to her brother's wedding day. Did he starve his sister-in-law? She remembered that she had taken time out during the wedding banquet to send food to Zhuang Minyi. So she thought her sister-in-law didn't suffer any setbacks, right?
She carefully put away the purse and asked Xiangcao to take the spare purse. The purse was really small, and could only hold seven or eight small snacks, which was probably not enough for half a bowl of rice. No wonder her sister-in-law was afraid that she would be hungry after preparing two bags.

Zhuang Minyi was a newly married bride, her face slightly reddened and she felt a little embarrassed: "Grandma said that she wants me to tell you something, just listen. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask her when she comes over later."

Haitang raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter?" She already knew the wedding procedures a long time ago, and the time for her grandparents to admonish her when she got married had not yet arrived. What else did her sister-in-law want to tell her specifically?

Zhuang Minyi's face became redder and redder. She twirled the handkerchief in her hand and hesitated for a moment before winking at those around her. Mother Li took Xiangcao out, and Zhuang Minyi's maidservant followed them out quickly, closing the door behind her.

Haitang blinked, her expression becoming more confused.

Today is the day to finish.
