Cai Shengnan, Xiao Feng and Mama Hu, as the leaders of the dowry team, were already in the palace of Suning County at this time.

Although the two families are very familiar with each other and often come and go, none of the three heads of the Qin family has come to see the newly renovated Suning County Palace. Everyone is more familiar with the courtyard across the street. Whether it is Qin Hanzhen or Qin Jian, they have been there several times, and Mama Hu has also been ordered by the Niu family to send things to the other courtyard more than a dozen times. Now that they have finally seen what this newly built county king's mansion looks like, they are quite satisfied.

This is actually a fairly regular county king's mansion, and every beam and pillar is in accordance with the regulations that the county king of this dynasty should enjoy, and there has never been anything out of line. In general, it is also a very standard three-way four-entry pattern, and there is a garden, although it is a little dull, but it is better to be neat and new, and it looks like it feels solemn and decent enough.

If you want to find any shortcomings, it is probably that the flowers and trees in the county king's mansion are not too dense and not enough spirit. But think about it can understand, after all, this is a newly renovated palace, even if a few months in advance of transplanting a variety of flowers and trees, it is not comparable to the spirit of those flowers and trees that have been planted for several years, not to mention more than a month in advance, the capital has been raining heavily and torrentially, even if it is planted after the flowers and trees are raised, it can't stand so much rain soaking. Now the flowers and trees in the county king's mansion look quite neat, they are already capable gardeners, and the steward of the county king's mansion is attentive.

Cai Shengnan and Xiao Feng looked at their daughter, Qin Hanzhen's new home in the future, and they were satisfied. At this time, Mama Hu had already instructed her subordinates to spread out the dowry carried into the door one by one in the courtyard in front of the main house of the county king's mansion, which was called a jewel and dazzling. Several female elders of the clan who came to help Zhao Mo with a happy event praised the bride's family for being rich and generous. In fact, Princess Xiuning is most familiar with the female relatives of Yongjiahou Mansion, and even Mama Hu is familiar with her, so she chatted with Cai Sheng's male concubine and the master and servant first.

When the wedding furniture arrived, Princess Xiuning hurriedly said, "Quickly open the door of the main house and lay out all the furniture." Several rooms in this courtyard were empty, waiting for the bride's wedding furniture to arrive. "Mother Fei, the housekeeper of the Suning County Palace, hurriedly opened the doors of all the houses in the main courtyard, and Mama Hu took Feng'er who escorted the car in to go in and take a turn, and saw that as Qin Hanzhen explained in advance, she was busy directing the manpower and moving the furniture into the house, and it took less than an hour, and it was all arranged according to the earlier design.

The house that was originally empty suddenly became different.

Princess Xiuning brought in with a few daughters-in-law, nieces and concubines, and visited slowly, and saw that Mama Hu and Feng'er began to lay out the brocade quilt on the bed, and Cai Shengnan and Xiao Feng added decorations to the Duobaoge, and couldn't help but admire: "The people in the house are really capable, and they have all been arranged after such a while." This new furniture is also well-played, the style is generous and chic, and the carvings on the top are never seen in other houses. ”

Cai Shengnan turned his head from behind Duobaoge with a smile and said to her: "This is all thanks to the fact that the prince of the county sent the drawings of the main courtyard house to the house early, and then the family made furniture according to the dimensions on the drawings. As for the style of the furniture and the patterns carved on it, it was the idea of our girl. She has been learning to draw for several years, and it took a year to think of various styles and then draw drawings. can get a word of praise from the princess, and it can be regarded as a year of hard work has not been in vain. ”

Princess Xiuning was surprised: "I knew that the third girl's painting was good, but I didn't know that she was so capable!" Her concubine quipped: "That's it, since it is the place where the family wants to live in the future, I personally drew the pattern and made the furniture, isn't it more in line with my own mind than handing it over to my subordinates to arrange?"

All the ladies nodded yes. There are also people who remember that they couldn't arrange their own yard according to their own hearts, and they are still envious. Some people think it's funny, she used to be too cumbersome, she gave it to her subordinates, but now that she thinks about it, maybe she can try it herself, and pass the time?

The ladies of the Yongjiahou Mansion naturally didn't care what others thought, and when they laid out all the furniture, bed tents and other things in the new house, the sun began to set in the west. They talked and laughed with Princess Xiuning and others, happily parted ways, and went home separately. When he arrived at home, he naturally had to report to Qin Bai, Niu, and Qin Ping what he had seen and heard in the Suning County Palace.

Qin Hanzhen listened and was relieved to learn that everything went smoothly during the laying process, and there were no unexpected changes. She had also never been to the new palace, but had only seen the drawings, and was a little worried that there would be a dimensional deviation between the furniture and the house. Now that there is no such problem, I know how cautious Zhao Mo is in this matter. The pre-wedding preparations were completed so smoothly, which seemed to indicate that the wedding of the two would also go smoothly. She couldn't help but feel a little sweet in her heart.

It's just that Cai Shengnan also mentioned one thing, and she was a little worried: "When I was showing the dowry, I was gossiping with Princess Xiuning, and I saw the little brother of the county prince, who seemed to be called Brother Qi, jumping up and down with a girl to see the excitement, and the spirit was also very good, and it seemed to be very harmonious with the county prince." But the father of the prince of the county...... That uncle didn't seem to show up. I took the opportunity to ask Fei's mother privately, although Fei's mother was a little supportive, but she also told me the truth, Uncle Shuo had never been to Beijing, and now he still lives in Suning County. Although the prince of the county and Uncle Shuo have never been very close, he has always had a filial reputation, if his father didn't even attend the wedding, I'm afraid that someone will gossip, right?"

Qin Ping frowned: "That Zhao Shuo, is he unwilling to come, and he has an awkward quarrel with his son again, or did Guanglu not pick him up?"

Qin Bai knew something about this: "Guanglu had previously arranged for someone to go to Suning to pick up his father to attend the wedding in Beijing, but Zhao Shuo acted excessively again. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once complained to me, as if Zhao Shuo had lived a good life in Suning for a long time, and he refused to settle down, and wanted to seek power in his son's hands. The subordinate officials of the county king's mansion did not pay attention, so he made a fuss and threatened to refuse to attend his son's wedding. At that time, Guanglu was still working in the south and had never returned to Beijing, and his subordinates reported to the capital, and the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were very angry when they found out. The emperor is in charge, there is no need to take Zhao Shuo to Beijing, the royal family came forward to organize the wedding for Guanglu, and with the help of Xiuning Palace, the elders of the clan will not have any objections. Therefore, Zhao Shuo does not have to appear at Guanglu's wedding. ”

Of course, this kind of thing is not very good after all, so the Suning County Royal Mansion has not made a noise, and the royal family has never said it explicitly. However, the people close to the clan almost knew about it. Princess Xiuning went to the Suning County Palace early today to preside over the overall situation, and contacted the representatives of the woman's dowry as the man's parent.

Cai Shengnan suddenly realized and said with a smile: "This is not a bad thing, so you don't have to worry about that uncle Shuo making trouble at the wedding, which will ruin everyone's interest." ”

She looked at Qin Hanzhen: "Besides, with the royal nobles coming forward, even if our true sister returns to the fiefdom in the future, in front of her father-in-law, she doesn't have to worry about being wronged too much." Being a father-in-law doesn't have a good reputation, everyone dislikes it, and the real sister doesn't have to be afraid of him. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of him." "Who is afraid of Zhao Shuo? who has been cleaned up by his son again and again, anyone can treat him as a fool. She dared to guarantee that this time Zhao Shuo threatened her son, but was disliked by all the royal family and the clan, and Zhao Mo's operation was definitely indispensable. In this way, after she gets married, she really doesn't have to worry about her father-in-law's difficult problems, because no matter what Zhao Shuo does, everyone will make up for him.

Zhao Shuo is mixed up in this role, and he can be regarded as a talent.

Nothing happened overnight. The next day was July 26, the first day of the wedding.

Zhao Mo got up in the middle of the night before dawn, and wanted to take the Jiao ring before the kiss ceremony. Qin Hanzhen is no exception at home, and he also has to get up before dawn to take the ring.

The Jiao ceremony is very complicated and can be said to be the most cumbersome procedure in the wedding. As the king of the county, Zhao Mo's position is still lower, so the procedure should be relatively simple, and it can be completed in his own county king's mansion. It is said that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince married the Crown Princess, it was called complicated. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in good health, and it took half a day of hard work just to make a Jiao ceremony.

Both the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion sent people to assist Zhao Mo in his Jiao ceremony, and set up a wine and food table in the front yard of the Junwang Mansion, each performing its own duties, and there was a teacher who played Yale. Zhao Mo was wearing a full-body county king dress, standing on the Jiao ring seat, and under the instructions of many officials around him, he bowed and prospered.

The sound of Yale crossed the streets and layers of courtyard walls and reached the Yongjiahou Mansion. At this time, Qin Hanzhen was also wearing a Yanju crown suit, and with the support of two palace people sent out from the palace, he performed the Jiao precept ceremony.

She herself doesn't remember how many times she bowed, anyway, she did whatever Sizan instructed beside her. When someone gave her a wine, she took a sip according to the rules she had learned before. Someone else gave her a fruit box, and she also took a little to eat. Judging by the reaction of the people in the palace, she should not have made a mistake. After worshipping the ancestral gods, drinking wine, reading blessings, eating some food, bowing four times in front of her father and stepmother, and receiving the reprimands of her parents, she also basically completed the procedures of the Jiao precept ceremony, and under the service of the palace people and maids, she put on a full body Zhai clothes, put on a heavy crown of the princess of the county, and waited for the groom Zhao Mo to welcome her.

The heavy court clothes were really unbearable, although the weather had turned cold, but there was still some heat, and it didn't take long for Qin Hanzhen to sweat on his head and body. Although Feng'er gently fanned the fan to cool her down, the feeling of being wrapped in layers and breathless still made people uncomfortable. But the rules are there, and the palace people are very strict, and Qin Hanzhen doesn't dare to say anything, so as not to be gossiped about.

Fortunately, Zhao Mo didn't take long to arrive. Of course, the timing of the ceremonial process on both sides is also an important factor.

Anyway, when Qin Hanzhen saw Zhao Mo appear in his front yard wearing a bright red dress, the whole person relaxed, and couldn't help but show a bright smile on his face.
