Rudonghai

Chapter 177
Mrs. Hou was sitting on the side. She married in later, but she also presided over the marriage of the elders. She smiled and said: "Yes, the juniors are getting older, but we are getting old. From now on, the Hou Mansion will have to rely on these juniors to support us." It is."

An Guohou smiled, and patted the back of his wife's hand.This little wife is much younger than him, but now he has a lot of gray hair, and the years make people grow old. He still thought that he could spend his whole life with his wife like this, but he didn't expect that he would leave first.

As soon as he left, the eldest daughter-in-law and his wife didn't get along very well, and the second son didn't care about family affairs, and just closed the door to live his own little life.

Ran Lang is not very close to his wife, but as for Ji Jiaqian, she has already married to the Gu Mansion, so it is not good for her to come back to the Hou Mansion often.

In the end, the wife is left alone.

An Guohou said with emotion: "I heard that the girl from Bohou's family is easy to get along with, Madam, please tell me more, don't be tired in the future, and leave all the work to these juniors, just enjoy the happiness at home. "

Madam Hou smiled, but did not answer.If she leaves everything to the juniors to do, the Hou Mansion will no longer have a place for herself.

The subordinates are also fools on the wall, and they can't be moved without interests.She is an old woman, besides holding on to such a little power, who else can she rely on?
Seeing that An Guohou's face turned red, he knew that he was in a lot of pain, holding his cough, so as not to be spotted by others and make a good marriage unsightly.

Mrs. Hou sighed, and made him a cup of chrysanthemum tea with her own hands: "This tea clears the lungs and moistens the weather. It's cold in the sky. Take a few sips to moisten your throat. You will have to ask Master Hou to lecture your granddaughter-in-law later."

An Guohou took it with a smile and took a sip, only to feel that the pain in his chest had finally subsided a little.

When the butler quietly reported that there were far fewer visitors than expected, An Guohou frowned.

Mrs. Hou had long expected that Xiao Xilin and Ji Keran would get married on the same day, and there would be countless guests who came to the door, and she knew who was more important than others.

Compared with An Guohou who has little real power, Taifu Xiao is in the sky, and no one dares to offend.

But it sets off the coldness of the Hou's mansion, how can An Guohou not be angry if he has a good face?
"It's really deceiving. He didn't choose a day, but chose this day. Didn't he deliberately oppose me?" An Guohou jumped up against the case, and finally couldn't help coughing loudly.

Mrs. Hou quickly winked at the nanny behind her, dismissed all the maids in the hall, and then stroked An Guohou's back to help him calm down: "Master Hou, what's the hurry, this auspicious time hasn't arrived yet , Those who should come will always come. Those who don't want to come, why bother? It's a good marriage, don't make yourself angry. "

An Guohou managed to hold back his cough, his face turned pale, and he sneered, "Let that yellow-mouthed boy be arrogant for a while, and he will sometimes beg me!"

Putting aside the cruel words, he felt better.

The music outside did not arrive for a long time, An Guohou couldn't help being surprised: "Send someone to look ahead, Ran Lang is going to pick up the bride, why hasn't he returned home yet?"

The fast-footed young man hurried out of the mansion, ran back not long after, panting and said: "Going back to Lord Hou, there is only one road, and we met the Taifu to pick up the bride, and now the two teams are stuck at the intersection. No one will let anyone."

"It's bad luck, it's really bad luck!" An Guohou coughed twice again, the procession of picking up the bride came together, it's not easy to let it happen.This made it so, not only did the groom lose face in front of the bride, and the auspicious time was delayed, wouldn't this marriage become a bad thing?
"It won't work if you stay stuck all this time. The auspicious time is coming soon." Madam Hou said anxiously, persuading Lord Hou, "Now is not the time to save face. If the auspicious time is delayed, this day's great good will not happen." Is it delayed?"

An Guohou was also very angry, and Xiao Xilin was not a measure, so it was fine on weekdays, so couldn't Ji Keran be allowed to let Ji Keran go at this time?

On the other hand, the boy was hesitant to speak, and was caught by Madam Hou's sharp eyes, urging him: "If there is anything else, don't breathe, just say it quickly."

The little servant was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and said fearfully: "When the villain rushed over, Taifu Xiao was talking to the eldest son with a smile. He said that it was not the first time that the eldest son got married, so how can we not let him... "

"It's really deceiving!" An Guohou blushed with anger, wishing he could rush over and scold Xiao Xilin bloody.

What do you mean it's not the first time? Could it be that it was wrong for Ji Keran to marry Xuxian, and he had to make way for Xiao Xilin?

What a joke, it seems that Xiao Xilin didn't pay much attention to the Marquis of Anguo Mansion at all!

"Extremely arrogant, it's lawless!" An Guohou was also worried that Ji Keran would miss the auspicious time, and was about to send someone to help, when he heard the sound of gongs and drums outside from far to near.

"Here, Ran Lang has returned to the mansion." Madam Hou's face was full of joy, and she ordered in a repeated voice: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and return to everyone, Hou Ye also hurried back to the seat, waiting for the granddaughter-in-law to serve you Tea."

An Guohou was appeased, and then put away his gloomy expression just now, and forced a little smile on his face.

I came back at this hour, I'm afraid Ji Keran gave way after all.

Today's shame, An Guohou will definitely ask Xiao Xilin to come back even more in the future!
Ji Keran here finally took the bride back to the Marquis of An Guo's mansion, and the Marquis of Zhen Guo's wife was also anxiously waiting here, hoping that Xiao Xilin would come back anyway.

She also heard about the collision between the two welcoming teams. Fortunately, Ji Keran was sensible and finally gave way, otherwise she would not give up easily.

Xiao Xilin's parents had gone, and the closest ones were the uncle and aunt Zhen Guohou and Mrs. Zhen Guohou. Naturally, he was invited to the table, and was served tea by them as his elders.

Mrs. Zhen Guohou naturally responded happily, put on her favorite set of dresses, wore her favorite hair and face, and sat at the head dignifiedly.

A little accident just now did not delay the auspicious time, Gu Yunxiao was helped out of the sedan chair by Xi Niang, stepped over the brazier carefully, a piece of red silk was stuffed in his hand, and the other end was pulled by Xiao Xilin, and slowly entered Walk.

"One bow to heaven and earth, two bows to the high hall, husband and wife bow to each other--"

Xi Niang's beaming voice sounded, and Gu Yunxiao followed and saluted slowly, as if she was still in a dream, and she became Mrs. Xiao smoothly in the blink of an eye.

"Licheng, send it to the bridal chamber—"

She blushed, was helped by Liu Xu into the back room, and sat obediently on the soft couch.

Qiu Hong held the food box and said with a smile: "My lord has to toast outside, so I have to ask the girl to wait for a while. Ouch, I should call you madam instead. This servant is so stupid."

Gu Yunxiao was stunned because she blushed because of her teasing, but luckily the red scarf covered it, so Qiuhong didn't see it.

Qiuhong took out the snacks from the food box and put them in front of her: "This is the snack that Mrs. Zhen Guohou specially asked the cook to make. It can be eaten one bite at a time, and it won't spoil the lady's makeup at all. The taste is light. Very good, you don’t need to wash yourself when you turn back.”

Gu Yunxiao smelled the faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, which shows that these dim sums are made of freshly picked sweet-scented osmanthus.You can eat the next one in one bite, and the lips and teeth are fragrant, which is very delicious.

"Your Excellency is afraid that Madam will be hungry, so use some first. There will be a lot of noise outside toasting, and it will take a while. If Madam is tired, there is still time for a nap." Qiu Hong said in a calm voice, like pouring beans Said all Xiao Xilin's orders.

Gu Yunxiao listened to it, only felt that a sentence seemed to fall on her heartstrings.

"I'm not tired yet, it's good that Liu Xu is here with me. You should be tired after a busy day, just go and rest."

Qiu Hong shook her head: "Where is the madam, it won't be too late for the servant to rest after the adults and the madam have rested. Anyway, the madam won't be able to get up early in the morning tomorrow, just so that the slave and Qiu Lu can sleep late."

Gu Yunxiao's cheeks were hot all of a sudden, and Qiu Hong's blunt words made her whole body look like cooked shrimp: "You girl, if it wasn't for... I would definitely pinch your mouth when I turn around."

"My servant is terrified, but I am very happy today, so I can't help but say a few more words, please forgive me." Qiu Hong hurriedly begged for mercy, and then took Qiu Lu out and said: "My servant first ordered the kitchen to put the hot water Get ready, and prepare some more meals, the adults are only focused on toasting, so I'm afraid I won't have a chance to eat."

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Gu Yunxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't resist this articulate girl.

Qiu Hong left the room, her face turned cold, she whispered: "In the end, madam still can't get married from Gu's mansion, she can only go out from Zhen Guohou's mansion."

It's a good marriage, but being disturbed by the Gu family makes people feel unhappy.

What's there to be unhappy about, a once-in-a-lifetime marriage, how about letting your daughter get married from your own yard?
At the beginning, Madam Zhen Guohou was just saying angry words, so she hoped that Gu Yunxiao would leave the Gu family.

Who knew that Mr. Gu had a cold face and refused to agree at all. He also said that since Mrs. Zhen Guohou took her away, it would be too late to repent now.

Bah, who said you're going to go back on your word?

Mrs. Zhen Guohou was so angry that she simply told Zhen Guohou that Gu Yunxiao would marry from the Hou's mansion, and it had nothing to do with Gu's mansion.

Anyway, it's not Zhen Guohou's mansion who is ashamed, but Master Gu, what is she afraid of?
What can such a man do if he can't even tolerate his daughter?
Qiu Lu tugged at her sleeve, and signaled Qiu Hong to stop talking: "Madam is now the Xiao family, and has nothing to do with the Gu family."

Hearing this, Qiu Hong laughed: "Your words are reasonable, Madam is now the Xiao family, and the Gu family can no longer control her."

It's just that she frowned again, and said in distress: "But what should I do when I go back to the door?"

Qiu Lu glanced at Qiu Hong, as if she felt that she had become stupid: "Where did you get married from, and where you will naturally go when you return home."

Qiu Hong blinked and said with a smile: "The Gu family is really going to be slapped this time. They have climbed up to a good relative in the Xiao family. It's fine if you don't cherish it. Now it's completely enmity."

Master Gu deserved it, who made him prefer Gu Yunyan, who caused trouble everywhere, but never cared about the well-behaved Gu Yunxiao?
