Mu Huagui

Chapter 131 The Big Wedding
The three members of Li Dafeng's family added licorice, and Aunt Su trained a lot of servants and maidservants that Lu's family bought later, and matched the available ones, and selected a dozen or so people to follow Chen Jiao'er there.

"Land in the capital is expensive and difficult to buy. After searching for a long time, I finally bought such a few pieces of land. I don't know if it will be too shabby." There are too many aristocratic and prosperous families in the capital, and the surrounding land prices are getting higher and higher. It's also hard to find one willing to sell.

Whenever someone commits a crime and sells the land, there will always be a lot of officials or aristocratic families grabbing the money.As a result, in Chen Jiaoer's dowry, the land was the least. In the Zhou Dynasty, which was dominated by farming, most people must think that the land was the most valuable.That's why Mrs. Su has this kind of worry.

Aunt Su was worried and within two days, shopkeeper Qi mysteriously took the land deed and came to Aunt Su.Seeing hundreds of acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing, Aunt Su's voice trembled, "Where did it come from?"

"Hehe, it was Annan Hou Shizi who said that his money... ahem... a little tight, he sold it to us for cash." Qi Luoshu blushed a little when he spoke, Chang Zaixian was notoriously generous and wealthy.Willing to exchange fertile land that money can't buy for cash, it's not like the monk has lice on his head, it's obvious.

Aunt Su didn't care whether Qi Luoshu blushed or not, she only knew that the young lady's dowry was in order and there were no regrets.Another thing came to mind: "Whether the furniture of the Wangfu is ready, and when will it be delivered?"

According to the custom, the man will give the woman the size of the wedding room in advance, and the woman will make a full set of furniture for the wedding room.If the furniture is not moved there, it will be difficult for the palace to furnish the new house.

"Don't worry, I've sent the most powerful person as an escort, and it's time to arrive in two days." Qi Luoshu smiled, and didn't care about Aunt Su's eagerness at all.

On the contrary, Mrs. Su was embarrassed and said, "Shopkeeper Qi, I'm a rough person, and I always talk like this, don't take it wrong." She said and bowed.

Qi Luoshu hurriedly helped Aunt Su, stomped and said, "I, Qi Luoshu, have today because of Miss's kindness. You are an old man beside Miss, so I should respect you. Besides, Miss's dowry is for us to arrange. You should ask about these things." Yes, why would you take offense?"

March [-]th was the day they got married. Chen Jiao'er got up early in the morning to take a bath and change clothes. Licorice even held back her energy to comb the lady's hair. The bright red wedding dress and the heavy phoenix crown made Chen Jiao'er's neck sore.

When the queen got married, the dowry was 130 six liters, and no one dared to surpass her. Aunt Su used 120 eight liters, and the boxes were so full that she couldn't even insert a finger.The dowry-carrying team set off first and walked a small circle around the inner city.

Zhou Mingyuan at the palace changed his clothes early and urged everyone, "Are you ready?"

Most of the people who went to greet the relatives were Zhou Mingyuan's childhood partners or current colleagues, as well as a few relatives, such as the second and third young masters in Princess Yonglong's mansion. .

Zhou Minghua came late, and he didn't want to go to greet the relatives together, but Zhou Mingyuan came to invite him personally, so he had to agree.Huang Zhilan's death made the Wangfu live in a period of disgrace. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, let alone so many eyes seeing it that day.

What's more, Huang Zhilan is also a lady of the official family. Although she dare not confront the Wangfu, it is inevitable to have some theory.Coupled with the gossip outside, and the sympathetic and mocking eyes cast on him, it almost drove him crazy.

Wearing a bright red wedding dress, Zhou Mingyuan rode a tall horse, and led a group of wolf-like young men and teenagers straight into the Lu residence, followed by the bearers who were about to carry the bride, running hard and jogging, but lost farther and farther.

It was still because the sound of bamboo didn't look good, so he rushed to the front to report the message, which slowed down the team, and the bearers behind were also panting to keep up.Zhou Mingyuan glared at Zhusheng, obviously dissatisfied with the pace of these bearers.

Zhusheng was taken aback, and explained, "I will lift up the bride later. The most important thing is to be safe and stable. Find a few fast-footed ones, and what can I do if I bump the bride."

Zhou Mingyuan laughed loudly, "Forget that you can talk."

The companions next to him were all teasing him that he couldn't wait for a moment, discussing how to get him drunk at night so that he couldn't enter the bridal chamber and so on.

Zhou Minghua was riding on the horse, thinking about Chen Jiao'er's beauty, he couldn't help but feel a little appreciative.I just hope that my father can fulfill his wish as soon as possible, when the time comes, it will be different... Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on his gloomy face.

"Come, come." The maids and maids at the gate of the Lu Mansion laughed and made noises, and they closed the gate when they saw Zhou Mingyuan's group from afar.

"Who is guarding the gate?" Chen Jiao'er asked in the room.

"It's Cherry with the maids and women." Licorice replied.

Cherry usually sees Zhou Mingyuan like a mouse and a cat, but today she relied on the young lady to get out of the cabinet, and she became more courageous, and said a few embarrassing words inside, and as Zhou Mingyuan threw in countless sachets containing ingots, the door was opened by Chen Daren. Open inside.

A group of people squeezed in with a "boom" and rushed towards the second door together, shouting as they rushed, "It's terrible to miss the auspicious time. Hurry up and ask the bride to get on the sedan chair."

In the second gate, Xiaobao hopped and followed the adults from one side to the other, and then from there to here.She was so happy that she almost forgot, Chen Jiaoer watched from a distance, and ordered people to look at Xiaobao, Licorice grinned and said, "Your servant let Chun Ya watch, don't hinder Xiaobao's interest, and don't let him hurt you." on."

Sure enough, seeing Chunya beside him, she didn't go to pick up the purse on the ground, but surrounded Xiaobao to protect him.Nodding in his heart, Chun Ya is also the maid who wants to come in with her, Aunt Su is really good at training people.

When everyone had had enough trouble, Qi Luoshu went out with Chen Jiaoer on his back. The sedan chair was waiting at the second gate. Chen Jiaoer, who was covered with a red hijab, lay on Qi Luoshu's back and called out softly, "Uncle."

Qi Luoshu trembled, tears instantly blurred his vision.The matchmaker stood guard in front of the sedan chair, helped Chen Jiao'er sit firmly in the sedan chair, and chanted a lot of auspicious words.

When worshiping the hall, the prince and princess looked at the pair of Bi people under the hall, and their eyes were red.Chen Jiao'er's hijab was picked up by Zhou Mingyuan, many of the spectators gasped when they saw Chen Jiao'er for the first time.I thought to myself that it is no wonder that the eldest son who has always had his eyes above the top is eager to get married. The new couple is indeed as rumored, with the appearance of overwhelming the country and the city.

She was helped to sit on the bed in the wedding room, and she couldn't get up until the groom came in.Licorice stayed by her side all the time, and the other people who came with her were also resettled by the palace.

At this time, the relatives of the prince and concubine all rushed in to see the bride, and Zhou Mingyuan's personal maid, Wanxi, was beside Chen Jiao'er, introducing them to her one by one in a low voice.

Chen Jiao'er smiled gratefully at her, she couldn't talk about these people, she didn't know about these people after staying in the palace for eight years.The concubine's natal family, except for Annanhou who was not allowed to enter Beijing, Mrs. Annanhou was Chang Zaixian's mother, and the wives of several brothers of Lord Hou, the ladies all came to attend the wedding.

A little girl in a pink jacket with tufted patterns followed among the group of people. Chen Jiao'er glanced at her. It was Zhou Mingyuan's concubine Zhou Yahan, the eldest lady of the palace.As always, he sat timidly among a bunch of people, sitting upright, smiling without showing his teeth.

Even before, she rarely saw this young lady in the mansion.He nodded to her friendly, no matter what, she was his sister-in-law.

"It is said that the concubine Shizi has a good temper, and you will be blessed in the future." The person who said this shook Zhou Yahan's arm and laughed loudly.

Chen Jiao'er heard the sound and looked over, she was the wife of the third younger brother of Marquis Annan, Marquis Annan and the third younger brother were both descendants, so they had a good relationship.But in the past few decades, for some unknown reason, the relationship has become worse and worse.

"The third sister-in-law was joking. The eldest lady is originally the eldest lady of the palace. She has been blessed since she was born. With her parents and elder brothers, she is destined to be blessed in her life. Jiao'er dare not take this praise."

Although she is young, but because of the high seniority of the princess, she is also of the same generation as these people, and it is enough to call her sister-in-law.

The smile of the third lady choked on her face, and she showed a more gentle smile and said, "I just heard that when we arrived in the capital, the prince's mansion couldn't stay, so we insisted on living in the Shizifei's mansion. The Shizifei loves the younger generation so much, it is naturally elegant." Han's luck."

Mrs. An Nanhou glanced at her sister-in-law, and simply shut up. A fool always provokes the enemy easily when he doesn't understand the bottom line of the enemy.

Chen Jiao'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Zaixian and Jiao'er's elder brother met in Annan, and they fell in love with each other at first sight. If you don't tell me, I would have forgotten that Zaixian is a junior. It's true that he lives in Lu's residence. Could it be that Annan's rules can't live in a friend's house? "After speaking, he glanced at Mrs. Annanhou suspiciously.

Mrs. An Nanhou smiled, "We are brothers all over the world, and their men love this tune. Women and Taoists have never seen the world, and they are ashamed to be thrown in the capital. Fortunately, in front of their relatives, the Crown Princess ignored it. She is used to talking nonsense. of."

All of you present are relatives of the concubine, and everyone is used to the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two.Immediately, some people laughed and cheered, talking about the jokes caused by the different customs between Annan and the capital.

The third lady bit her lip, looked around and said, "Why is there no relative from the prince's side?"

Everyone looked at her like an idiot, and then suddenly realized that the relatives of the prince are naturally relatives of the emperor, and they would not come here to see the bride because of their identities.Thinking of this, his face turned red, and he thought that he was really ashamed to come to the capital.

"During the Chinese New Year, the princess brought Jiao'er into the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager. Her relatives have seen her before, so naturally she has no interest in Jiao'er." Today is her big day after all, as long as she doesn't bully herself, she will Don't mind giving others a step down.

When eating at noon, relatives go out in twos and threes to participate in the banquet.Hearing the commotion outside, before she could ask any questions, Wanqian came back and slapped her hands with a smile, "Congratulations, Princess Concubine, the emperor personally sent the head waiter to congratulate you, and I also gave you the title."

Listening to Wanxi directing the little girl to run back and forth to find out the news over and over again, everyone was very excited.In the afternoon, distinguished guests began to come to congratulate them one by one.

After all the guests arrived, after drinking for three rounds, the licorice poked its head out again and again, and returned disappointed.It was still Wanxi who smiled and said, "On a big day like today, the young master will not come back if he is not forced to the end by them. Let's wait patiently."
