Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 172

General Long didn't have much time to stay in Luodu City, and his generals would go back with him, so Lin Qingran asked Shao Ziyu to inquire as soon as possible.

The day of Shao Jinghan's marriage is getting closer and closer, and Lin Qingran can't get away from thinking about other things. Everything is arranged properly. On May 26, Shao's eldest son, Shao Jinghan, got married.

He had been busy the night before, and Lin Qingran only slept for two hours in the second half of the night. In the front hall, Shao Ziyu and his son knelt down to worship and worship the ancestors. Every once in a while at night, when the time came, they would set off firecrackers.

On the 26th, Shao Jinghan washed and changed his clothes. There was a small banquet in the front hall. All the people sat there, a family of five, to share some teachings. Go to Chen's house to welcome relatives.

And Lin Qingran and Shao Ziyu were ready to entertain guests.

Most of the guests came in the afternoon, and those who were closer came early in the morning. A few tables were set up for the luncheon, and the people who greeted were all acquaintances.

The second aunt came to help, and Lin Wenxi and the Lu family were also there. It was not long before they returned to Luodu City. For the Shao family wedding banquet, Shao Ziyu invited Prince Bei, and by the way, General Long who was still in Luodu City was also invited.

The garden is full of female relatives, and the sisters of the Lin family alone account for a lot of them. Even with the in-law relationship, the Jin family also came. Lin Qingran went to the garden to look around, and when she returned to the gate, Shao Ziyu was meeting the prince of the north. Come in, standing beside him is General Long.

It was also a deliberate arrangement. Shao Ziyu asked General Long to bring his general named Ah He with him. The reason why he didn't inform him of the general in advance was to let the Jin family recognize him when the time came.

Shao Ziyu took them to the attic, Xiao Hongxuan was also there, instead of following Lord Bei, he took his son to Lin Qingran, looked at her and asked, "Where is my daughter-in-law?"

"Who is your daughter-in-law, Prince of the North, don't try to get married." Lin Qingran glared at him, and she didn't get tired of shouting after 11 years.

"Sister-in-law, you have to admit it." Xiao Hongxuan identified the daughter-in-law here, and pulled his son, "We can be sincere."

"Go and find your Brother Shao." Lin Qingran ignored him, there were many guests at the door, so how could he have time to listen to him.

Xiao Hongxuan pulled his son aside and taught, "Go find sister Ning in the garden."

"Father, we are not three-year-olds anymore, men and women can't get along with each other." Xiao Jingyan looked at him helplessly, "If you go to the garden now, people will gossip about you."

Xiao Hongxuan felt that what his son said was also reasonable, but after a long time, the relationship would fade if he couldn't see each other when he came, "That won't work, you have to meet often."

"Father, you have been shouting for so many years, no one knows." Xiao Jingyan is definitely more sure than his father, and he also understands the situation in front of him very clearly. Now where is it necessary to see each other often? The two elder brothers are him, and I am deeply impressed.

There is an unreliable father, and his son's teaching is quite reliable. Xiao Jingyan has been indoctrinated since he can remember that the little girl of the Shao family is his future daughter-in-law. He has been indoctrinated for 11 years. Can you not take it to heart? Now, he has to plan well. Now, at this age, it is not a good time to see each other often.

When Xiao Hongxuan was told by his son, he immediately felt a lot more at ease, and took him to the attic

After the luncheon, in the afternoon, the Shao family kept watching when the welcoming team would come back. When the evening approached, the sound of firecrackers not far from outside the Shao family finally rang out. The music is very lively.

Lin Qingran has been pushed by the second sister and the others to change into festive clothes, and is waiting for the newcomer to visit.

In the side room of Xitang, Si Hua went out, Lin Qingran straightened Shao Ziyu's neckline, the two looked at each other, Lin Qingran smiled first, "I was never so nervous when we got married."

"My son is getting married, why are you nervous?" Shao Ziyu looked at her amusedly.

Lin Qingran patted his sleeves, "Worry about marrying a daughter, and marrying a daughter-in-law, naturally you will worry about getting along well." In a blink of an eye, she was going to sit in the high hall to watch her son get married, so the feeling in her heart was naturally very bad generally.

Shao Ziyu took her hand, and the secretary outside the house reminded that the couple had already entered the gate and walked out of the wing room. The two sides of the wedding hall were already crowded with people. Lin Qingran looked at the door, and the bride was stepping over the brazier, and the courtyard was lively. very.

At this time, the sky was dark, and the couple entered the wedding hall. Lin Qingran and Shao Ziyu were invited to sit down.

After the worship, the newcomers were sent to the bridal chamber, and the banquet was about to begin. Lin Qingran ordered that after the young master came out to toast, he would send some food to the bridal chamber, and he was still busy entertaining the guests at the banquet.

It was late at night after this busy work. After listening to the maid's report, the new house turned off the lights and went to sleep. In the main house, Lin Qingran was tired and leaned on the couch, not wanting to move for a while.

Shao Ziyu came in, saw that there was still a list of gifts received today on the table, closed them and put them on the shelf, pulled her to the bed, and pressed her on the shoulder, "Don't be in a hurry, don't look at it, the new wife will serve tea tomorrow, As a mother-in-law, you won't get up later than them."

Squeezing and pinching Shao Ziyu, she began to unbutton her clothes. After so many years of husband and wife, Lin Qingran didn't know what he meant, so she slapped his hand away, "I'm going to take a bath."

Shao Ziyu's eyes flickered, watching her go in, Si Qin behind him took the clothes and was about to send them in, Shao Ziyu waved his hand, "Go out, go and rest early, leave it to me."

Si Qin put down the changed clothes, Shao Ziyu got up, picked up the clothes, pushed open the door, and followed inside

Tea was served the next day, and there were not many people in the Shao family. Just Shao Ziyu and Lin Qingran, plus a younger uncle and a younger sister, it took less than half an hour to serve tea. Lin Qingran didn't intend to make things difficult for Xin. Daughter-in-law, she also liked the girl from the Chen family at the time. She behaved well and had a gentle temperament. Seeing the occasional eye contact between the young couple, Lin Qingran felt more at ease. After the tea ceremony, she took them to drive to Master Shao. After serving tea to the second master and wife of the Shao family, they opened the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

The Concubine Gui mentioned at that time that Lin Qingran brought them into the palace to meet the Concubine Gui the next day. After seeing the Concubine Gui, she would naturally go to visit the Empress Dowager. It was already afternoon.

The first few days of marriage must have been busy, returning home in three days, adding up the odds and ends, Lin Qingran only talked to Chen about the Shao family after seven or eight days of marriage.

"All the affairs in Han'er's yard are left to you to handle. I don't know what you young people like, so you can make up your own mind." Lin Qingran handed over the small ledger in Shao Jinghan's yard to Chen, and the three When the children turned eight years old, she set up separate small account books for them. Before they got married, she took care of them. Now that they are married, they will naturally hand them over to them.

"The secretary has been with me for many years, and now I'm assigning it to you. If you don't understand anything in the house, you can ask her immediately, and you can come to me directly if you have anything to do. There are not many Shao family members, so it's good to be more comfortable." Lin Qingran didn't send anyone to watch, she just wanted her to get started faster, and the old people around her were more familiar than others by letting them give some pointers.

As for whether to use it or not, and how to use it, that is a matter for the young couple, and the Secretary can come back without her.

"Mother left me such a one, that would be great." Chen said with a gentle face, and was very glad that Lin Qingran could prepare someone for her so that she could get acquainted with the Shao family as soon as possible.

Lin Qingran kept what she had said for a while, and asked her to go back to the yard. Sister Ning walked in, approached her affectionately, and said coquettishly, "Mother, brother and sister-in-law seem to have a good relationship."

"How long have you been here?" Lin Qingran first covered her forehead, and then pinched her cheeks. During this time, she gained weight and her complexion improved a lot.

"It's been a while, and I was afraid that my sister-in-law would feel uncomfortable when I came in, so I sat in the wing room for a while." Sister Ning took two purses from the maid and gave them to Lin Qingran, "This is for father and mother."

The purse was embroidered by Sister Ning with all her heart. Lin Qingran turned it over and looked at it. She also understood her daughter's temperament, "How much did you embroider?"

"Father, mother, and eldest brother and second brother." Sister Ning flicked the tassel hanging from her purse, and said slowly.

"There's more." Lin Qingran looked at her with a smile, and Sister Ning shook her head, so she avoided Lin Qingran's look at her, and grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, "No more."

"Then I'll go to Beiwang Mansion another day."

Sister Ning hurriedly raised her head, her cheeks were already flushed, she looked at Lin Qingran in embarrassment, "Mother, what are you talking about!"

"Then Xiao Jingyan gave you a generous gift a few days ago. What are you going to give him in return?" Lin Qingran couldn't have expected it. The Northern Palace's intentions are really not hidden at all. She doesn't care about it for a year or two, three or four The past year feels a bit too much, and now it has been like this for 11 years, and Lin Qingran has also begun to think seriously about her daughter's future.

"Daughter, this is not a private gift." Sister Ning explained, "I sent someone to the North Prince's Mansion, and Aunt Shizifei can see it first, and not only for Brother Xiao, but also for Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao." Ready, I'm returning a gift, he gave such a valuable thing, my daughter has to return the gift with my heart."

"Mother didn't say you gave and received in private." Lin Qingran took her hand and taught, "You didn't give it to Xiao Jingyan privately, but it was handed over by the concubine Shizi, and it wasn't just for him. Knowing that you don’t want to prepare a gift in return, I carefully embroidered a purse, but Ning’er, mother wants to tell you that this purse has a special meaning, maybe it’s too early for mother to tell you this, but mother knows you are a smart child, You have thought about what your Uncle Xiao has been talking about for so many years."

Sending a purse, given the relationship between the Xiao family and the Shao family, it is nothing at all, and the two families will not go to the top of the privately. The child who grew up as a childhood sweetheart, it has long been clear what the Xiao family is thinking, but Lin Qingran must Let your daughter know early on what these things mean.

After a while, Sister Ning nodded, "Daughter understands." At an age where feelings are still in a trance, and she knows that her body is not as good as others, Sister Ning added, "Brother Xiao is very kind, mother, you are also good." As I said before, don't worry about it until the time comes, so my daughter doesn't think too much about it now, just let nature take its course."

Lin Qingran pulled her into his arms, patted her on the shoulder lightly, and said softly, "Yes, don't worry about it until the time comes."
