wedding dress

Chapter 239 Happy Event
Xiaodong also went on the day of Shen Jing's marriage.

In order to get married, Shen Jing bought a house in the capital, which was different from the one she rented when she lived temporarily.The Sanjin house also has a large garden.The house is still very new, with a little refurbishment it looks very decent, and it can be lived in immediately.But the place is a little bit off, in Shengdaofang.Shen Jing was going to court, to the Yamen, but the distance was not too close.Originally, Zhao Lu showed him a house in Yongxingfang. The original owner was an old Beijing official who was about to return home.The house is older and smaller than here.It turned out that the family had a large population, and a wall was built in the middle of the yard, which was patchwork and very crowded and chaotic.According to Zhao Lu's thinking, even if Shen Jing gets married, there will not be many people in the family. If the walls of this house are knocked down, it will be enough to live in even if it is cleaned up.But in the end Shen Jing didn't choose that house.

Xiaodong looked at the house, the walls were repainted, the doors, windows, pillars and railings were newly painted, and the flowers and trees planted in the courtyard grew luxuriantly, with red silk and colorful flowers tied on them.When standing at the door and looking in, the eyes are full of deep blue and bright red, scattered and stacked, and you can't see the end at a glance, giving people a feeling of being extremely deep and extending into the distance.

Well, Xiaodong understands why Shen Jing chose this house.

Although this house was built in the city, it seemed subtle and far-reaching.Clusters of green bamboos, moss marks on the stone steps, thick green shade, the breeze blows, with a breath of flowers, leaves and aquatic plants.

It seems that this is not in the capital, but in the deep mountains and valleys.

Xiaodong can imagine, if today is not a lively scene of getting married, but a place where there is no one, and the ground is full of flowers - how peaceful and quiet it would be.

"My cousin really has a good eye. This house is not dusty and tacky, but it's a good place to get some peace and quiet amidst the hustle and bustle."

Coincidentally, the house is at the end of an alley, and there are few people in it.Going out the back door is another narrow alley, deep and quiet.

Shen Jing's marriage didn't alarm many people, but he couldn't hold back his fame, and now he is a celebrity in front of the emperor. There are quite a lot of guests here. Prince An's Mansion borrowed a lot of people to come and help, welcome guests and serve tea and water. The banquet had already been arranged, half of it was prepared to be placed in the hall, and the other half was set up beside the rockery in the garden. The staff on the kitchen stove were all recruited by Qin Lie from Meimeiju.These people are familiar and good at doing their jobs. Others look at them in a mess, but in fact they are not chaotic, and they are quite organized.

Xiaodong first went to meet Shen Jing's mother—speaking of which, it was the first time she saw this Mrs. Shen.Mrs. Shen is naturally a beauty who can give birth to such a handsome and charming son. Although she is approaching age, she looks elegant and gentle, well-maintained, and she speaks very harmoniously, not at all like Xiao Dong has seen before. The heads of the wives of those aristocratic families.

"I didn't dare to recognize the Princess as soon as she came in." Mrs. Shen said with a smile, "The last time I saw you, you were still hugged in your arms, and your eyes didn't even open."

Xiaodong was a little puzzled: "Madam has seen me before?"

"Don't be so polite, I'm your aunt." Mrs. Shen said: "At that time, you were not yet full moon. I went to Beijing with the master, and when I saw you, your face was as big as a small peach, and you were sleeping all the time. .”

Speaking of which, Mrs. Shen is indeed her aunt—it's just that Xiaodong's mother's surname is not Shen but Yao.

However, she is very kind to others, with an amiable smile, and it is not difficult to get along with her.

From the looks of it, Mrs. Shen is not a tricky and domineering mother-in-law, and the quiet daughter-in-law will not have a hard time in the future.

Mrs. Shen asked how Xiaodong was recovering, and asked why she didn't bring the child.

"He hasn't been out before. There are so many people today, and firecrackers were set off again. I didn't bring him out for fear of scaring him."

Mrs. Shen nodded and said: "That's true, the child is still young, it's better to be cautious."

There are quite a few female guests, Mrs. Shen is good at dancing and entertaining.Shen Fang came over and said a few words to Xiaodong, led Xiaodong to the back, entered a quiet room, closed the door, and shut out the noisy voices: "Take a rest for a while, and when the bridal sedan chair arrives, I will let someone return it come to call you."

Xiaodong smiled and said, "Of course there are firecrackers when the sedan chair approaches the door, I can still hear it, so don't call me."

Hongfu waited for Shen Fang to leave, waited for Xiaodong to sit down on the cool couch, brought tea, sat on the twig and beat her legs, and said with a soft smile, "It's so lively, just now the flowers on Shen's aunt's penis are crooked. , I didn’t bother to help, so it can be seen that I’m really busy.”

"Well, getting married is a big event. Didn't you say that there are four great joys in life? Manna meets dew after a long drought, and old acquaintances meet in a foreign land. Wedding night in the bridal chamber, and when you are named on the gold list."

"Master Shen has already been named on the gold list."

"Well, everyone talks about starting a family and starting a business, and starting a family is still at the top of the list. If you don't have a family, there will be no one to take care of the back house, and there will be no support from the Yue family..."

"What the princess said is true." Hongfu beat her leg for her, and said casually: "It's the same in our hometown. You are considered an adult when you are married. If there is anything in the family, the parents will discuss him as a person. Treat. Besides, the daughter-in-law will bring a dowry. Who is the money spent on this clothes? Isn’t it spent on men and children? Married, become a man, and have both face and lining. Although parents Well, but couples are the ones who spend their whole lives together."

Xiaodong smiled and stretched out his hand to tap her cheek: "That's right, I'll take care of you and Hongjing as soon as I can, so as not to delay you for the rest of your life."

Hongfu's face turned red immediately, and she spat lightly: "You'll make fun of us."

"Why is this a joke? This is serious business." Xiaodong squinted his eyes: "This house is well tidied up, I don't know if it was just like this before, or it was built like this by Shen Jing."

"I just heard someone say this outside. There were bamboos and other things in the past, but the gates and other things were not installed here, but were changed later. A lot of carvings and decorations were also removed."

"Well, well done."

Someone outside the door asked, "What's the best way to dismantle it?"

Xiaodong turned to look, Qin Lie opened the door and walked in.

"Huh? How did you come here?" Qin Lie should be at the front right now to help.

"Take a moment and come over to see you. There are so many people today, isn't it very noisy?"

Hongfu had already retreated cleverly and stood outside the door.

Qin Lie took the half cup of tea that Xiaodong had drunk, raised his head and drank it, sat down next to Xiaodong, and carefully looked at her expression.Fortunately, although the weather is hot, the forehead and the tip of the nose are sweating slightly, the face is flushed, and the complexion is quite good.

"I'm fine." Xiaodong said with a smile, "It's just that I haven't gone out for a long time, and my feet are a little sore after walking for a while. I don't know most of the people outside, and I don't want to socialize, so I let Sister Fang find this place for me. I'll take a quiet break. Are you tired?"

"I don't have anything to do. I didn't go with us to welcome the relatives. The eldest son has gone. Now the Li family can save face." Qin Lie straightened her hair on the sideburns: "When we come back and pay homage to the hall, let's Just go back first."

Xiaodong nodded.

She hasn't been separated from her son for such a long time... What is Ah Da doing now?Did you cry?Are you breastfeeding?

It was as if a rope was tied to her heart, pulling her back with all her strength.
