Chapter 527: Licheng
Yongjiahou Mansion has not had a good Dragon Boat Festival this year, because as soon as the festival passes, it will be Qin Ping's wedding.
On the day of the wedding, from early in the morning, the Yongjiahou Mansion was busy. All the members of the third room of the Qin family, except for Brother Zhuang, who was still a milk doll, was taken by the nurse to stay in the room to sleep, and the rest of them were dressed up and gathered in one place, each performing their duties.
Qin Ping is the groom's official, as long as he is at the mercy, and his younger brother Qin An, several senior brothers and friends and relatives in Beijing come to laugh with him.
As the new father-in-law, Qin Bai can also spend some time in the study with peace of mind, and when the banquet begins, there will be a supporting scene.
Niu is the new mother-in-law, and she should be the busiest one, but because the younger daughter-in-law and eldest granddaughter are very capable, and the girls and grandmothers under her are also very clever, she only needs to be responsible for the general affairs - in fact, she just asks a few words from time to time, and does not need to be in charge of specific affairs - so it is quite idle.
Xiao Feng went back and forth, and finally inspected whether all the wedding venues, personnel and items were ready, and thought that she would have to be responsible for entertaining female guests for a while, and she was a little apprehensive, but fortunately, the Yao family and the Min family from the long room soon came to help, which made her feel a little more at ease.
Qin Hanzhen only needs to stare at the manpower deployment in the kitchen and the banquet, he is already familiar with the work, but he is not in a hurry, and he still has the leisure to talk and laugh with Qin Hanzhu and Qin Jian and Qin Jinhua, who came to the house with his mother early.
The whole family has a clear division of labor, and the house is full of manpower and orderly, just waiting for the auspicious time.
Good relatives and friends came to the door first, the long room naturally arrived early, and the second room followed later, in addition to the Huang family and the Min family, people came over soon, but the Lu family next door was later. As soon as Qin Youzhen arrived with her son, she saw that people were coming so together, so she hurriedly sent her youngest son to the front to help run errands, and she said some congratulatory words around the third aunt Niu, and pulled the female relatives of relatives and friends to gossip. Although she had a few words with her uncle Xu from time to time, in fact, when the two were not alone, she did not give anyone a chance to mention her eldest son's marriage.
Xu smiled as usual. She is not in a hurry, her niece and daughter, who she raised with her own hands, she knows that Qin Youzhen is ruthless and ignores her request, and no matter how unwilling she is, she will finally relent.
The Niu family was lively here, and Qin Bai also had guests on his side, Qin Hanzhen, who was sitting on the side of the banquet venue, looked at the sky, felt that it was almost over, and asked Feng'er: "It's time to go to greet your relatives?" Feng'er asked the housekeeper's mother-in-law, and came back and said, "The prince has just set off." ”
Qin Hanzhen nodded: "Then let the people in the kitchen get ready, the dishes that should be washed can be washed, and the dishes that should be cut are also cut, and when the newcomers come back, the dishes will almost be ready to go to the pot, don't ask the guests to wait too long." After thinking about it, he remembered one thing, "Remember to prepare a simple meal for the bride and the bride, the noodles are good, and they may not have time to eat the proper noodles." Feng'er answered, turned around and ran to pass the word. Qin Hanzhen looked back at the wedding banquet venue that was ready, and reminded the little girls to take the fans and prepare the ice basins.
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
Qin Ping was dressed in a wedding dress, and went out to greet his relatives at the auspicious time, the journey was smooth, the companions did not make any mistakes, and the horses were very docile and well-behaved. When he arrived at Cai Shengnan's house, the brothers-in-law and brother-in-law just tested him two levels according to the routine, and the difficulty was not great at all, so he let him in to pick up the bride without much embarrassment. Although her sister is going to marry a widower from now on, think of the bastard surnamed Wei in front of him, this widower is a man of good character. For the sake of their sisters' future happiness, they will not fall out with their sister/brother-in-law.
Cai Shengnan's brother is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, how could other male members of the Cai family do things that are disturbing the scenery? Yunyang Hou also came to marry his clan sister in person, and he was very kind to Qin Ping. In fact, they were originally in-laws, the eldest daughter-in-law of Yunyang Hou, who wanted to call Qin Ping "uncle", today's family business was originally considered to be a kiss and a kiss.
Cai Shengnan said goodbye to his mother, aunts, and sisters-in-law, sobbed and let his brother carry him on his back and get on the sedan chair. Qin Ping looked at her figure in a red wedding dress and covered with embroidered hijab, and was a little trance-like, as if he saw the situation when he married Guan Rongniang back then. That marriage was a mistake, I hope that in this marriage, he and Cai Shengnan can live happily.
It's also time for him to say goodbye to his past obsessions.
Qin Ping took the bride back to the Yongjiahou Mansion and worshiped the church smoothly. As soon as the prime minister finished shouting, "The ceremony is completed, send it to the cave room", the holy decree came outside. The emperor really treats his brother-in-law's family so well, and his nephew is married, and he doesn't forget to give something to him, and the queen mother and the prince also have their own gifts, which are still precious, and the key is this decency and festivity.
Niu happily left the palace envoy down to eat and drink, and the bride and groom were sent into the cave room, and the guests were separated from the men and women to the table.
Today's wedding is a formal ceremony, but the banquet is an unexpected joy. The guests found that there were several new dishes at the banquet that they had never seen before, and whether it was a common dish or a novel new dish, they were all extremely delicious, and even the sugar water and snacks that were served at the end made people can't stop eating. Looking at the girls and women walking around the banquet, they are all uniformly dressed, all well-trained, clever and pleasing, not only do they serve the food, remove the dishes, and pour the wine skillfully, but also know that they take the initiative to fan them when the guests feel hot. In addition, the ice basins scattered everywhere in the canopy, the cool breeze is blowing, and the scenery in the garden is really refreshing.
In the summer, everyone did not sweat profusely and described as embarrassed, but they finished the wedding banquet comfortably, many people were secretly surprised, and after a little inquiry, they learned that today's wedding banquet was organized by the groom's only daughter, the future Princess of Suning, Qin San, and they were all praised.
Qin Hanzhen smiled and thanked everyone for the compliment, and then turned her head to worry about her stepmother Cai Shengnan, had she eaten in the new house, and had a good rest? Did the girls who married her get enough guidance? After receiving a definite answer, she put her mind at ease.
This kind of day when you have to start worrying about family affairs at a young age should be able to pass soon, right? Qin Hanzhen thought in her heart, Cai Shengnan seemed to be quite good at housekeeping, and as soon as she returned to the door in three days, she would immediately throw the right to feed in her hand to her stepmother. She wasn't worried that Cai Shengnan would deduct anything from herself, but she just enjoyed a few months of leisure. When she marries Zhao Mo, it is estimated that she will start to worry about the middle feed of the palace again. If you want to rest, it's just these months.
Qin Ping and Cai Shengnan's wedding finally ended lively. The guests and hosts were happy, and when the guests said goodbye and left, they did not forget to repeatedly praise the food and wine and thoughtful hospitality of Yongjiahou Mansion. Qin Ping was half drunk and had already been sent to a new house. Qin An also drank a lot, but he still had to send off the guests with his cousins Qin Zhonghai and Qin Shutao, and when he looked back, he saw that the lobby brother Qin Bofu was already drunk in the wing, and Qin Xun, who came with his father, was trying to carry people with the little guys, so he couldn't help but shake his head, his heart softened, and he still called a few little guys to come over to help, and sent Qin Bofu to the carriage of the second room.
At the end of the feast, everyone dispersed. Qin Hanzhen was already tired and had a sore back, but he still had to stare at people cleaning up the remnants of the mats in the garden. When Zhao Mo came to look for her, she wanted to borrow a lot, but unfortunately there were many people around, so she didn't dare to move in the end, but she couldn't help but be coquettish: "I'm so tired!"
Zhao Mo looked distressed, and persuaded her softly: "There are stewards and grandmothers to clean up your things, you are tired for a day, and you should go back to rest." I'll tell your grandmother to go back to the yard for you, and I'll take you back to the yard, and I'm afraid you'll pass out in a while. ”
Qin Hanzhen couldn't help laughing: "That's not it, I'm not so delicate." "After so many years of exercising her body, her physical strength is still quite good. But if you can be lazy, why not steal?
Qin Hanzhen called Feng'er, this girl has been following her today, how tired she is, how tired Feng'er is, of course she can't leave people behind. She handed over the matter of cleaning up the mess to the enthusiastic Baiqiao and Lianrui, and there was Mama Tiger in charge, so if she couldn't make a mistake, she would leave with confidence.
Mama Tiger also said distressedly: "Go quickly, I'll just go and talk about Madame." The prince of the county sent us girls, they are not outsiders, and there is no need to shy away from them. Zhao Mo responded loudly, and patted his chest to pack the ticket, saying that he would definitely send his cousin safely.
Qin Hanzhen's face flushed slightly, and he gently pinched Zhao Mo's arm, and then he stopped, showing a somewhat shy smile to Mama Hu. He knew that this grandmother was actually an elder to his fiancée.
The two walked out of the garden together, and Feng'er was at the end as usual, pacing slowly, paying attention to the surrounding scenery from time to time, and occasionally chatting with other girls passing by. Even if the king of Suning County can enter their girl's yard, he won't stay long, so she is very relieved, from the garden to the girl's yard, the dozens of steps must be extremely slow. She'll never lose it.
How did Qin Hanzhen know what Feng'er was thinking? There were people coming and going at the gate of the garden, everyone was busy working, few people noticed her and Zhao Mo, she was also a little bolder, and with the help of wide sleeves, she held a small hand with Zhao Mo, and she was also a little next to Zhao Mo, borrowing him to save some effort. Zhao Mo was used in his heart, but he hated not being able to get closer to his fiancée. If it was already dark at this time, there were not so many people around, and there was no Feng'er behind him, he really wanted to hug Qin Hanzhen and carry the person back to the yard like this, and save herself from watching her walk hard. It's already very tired, but I still have to support it.
Qin Hanzhen stopped. Zhao Mo hurriedly looked at her: "What's the matter? But you are too tired to walk? Do you want me to carry you?"
Qin Hanzhen turned her head and glanced at him: "It's not!" She looked back at the oblique front, which was the gate of her father Qin Ping's yard. Qin Hanzhen stared at the door of the courtyard and sighed lowly: "Father will live with his stepmother, okay?"
Zhao Mo hugged her: "Yes, my father-in-law is actually a very smart person, Cai ...... My mother-in-law is also very sensible. They all know how to live their lives well, so you don't have to worry, you just need to marry me. ”
Qin Hanzhen glanced at him speechlessly, gently broke away from his embrace, turned around and walked towards his own yard.
