Qin Hanzhen took the gossip about the crucifixion of the prince of Shu sent by Zhao Mo, and passed the boring days before marriage, and soon ushered in her official wedding with Zhao Mo.

The procedure of recruitment, that is, the dowry gift, had been completed as early as the time when Zhao Mo left Beijing and went south. It was about a month before the wedding. The emperor personally invited the two elders of the clan as envoys to send a dowry gift to the Yongjiahou Mansion on behalf of Zhao Mo, and there was no need for the main son Zhao Mo to show up, even the woman's side was received by Qin Bai, Niu and Qin Ping. Qin Hanzhen, the other main master, stayed in the back house of Yongjiahou Mansion, listened to the reports of the girls, and went through the whole process, as if he lacked some sense of reality in his heart.

The wedding day is on July 26, when the weather is much cooler, no longer as hot and rainy as before, and it is a good time for happy events.

Two days before July 26, the Ministry of Rites issued a festival book to canonize Qin Hanzhen as the princess of Suning County, and the emperor once again sent an envoy to the Yongjiahou Mansion to perform the canonization ceremony. Yongjiahou Mansion set up an incense case and a book case in the front yard, and Qin Hanzhen came forward to pay respects. The emperor also gave the gift of the hair book and the gift of the hypnotic at the same time. And because the emperor thought that he was also the head of the princess's mother's family, he also had an extra makeup gift. The queen mother, the crown prince and the crown princess also added makeup, and a group of ladies in the harem led by the princess also joined in the fun.

Qin Hanzhen's dowry was therefore added to three more units, and Cai Shengnan had to readjust the dowry box in annoyance, striving to put all the things prepared in advance. There is no way, Qin Hanzhen has been favored and loved in the third room of the Qin family for many years, and her stepmother Cai Shengnan is a kind person, and she has not done anything with her dowry.

In addition, there were also things sent by the families of the two aunts of Lu and Su, as well as the makeup of their cousins Wu Shaoying and his wife who came from Jining; Wang Fuzhong, the uncle of the Wang family in Mizhi County, sent four generous gifts on behalf of himself and his younger brother Wang Fulin, as well as the two junior brothers Yu Chengzhi and Hu Kun; Feng Yuting, who lived in the Yongjiahou Mansion, also expressed his sister's approval; the in-laws of the Qin family, the Cai family, the Min family, the Huang family, the Yao family, The Tang family was even more generous; even when the Pei Guogong Mansion was still in filial piety, they did not forget to brush up on a wave of existence, and asked relatives and friends to bring a congratulatory gift; although the second room of the Xu family was not rich, they did not let themselves lose to the Pei Guogong Mansion, and spent a lot of money to buy a complete set of twelve pieces of jasper heads, and sent them directly to the Yongjiahou Mansion, without going through the hands of the Xu family of the Chengen Hou Mansion.

With so many additional makeup, the dowry originally prepared by the Yongjiahou Mansion for Qin Hanzhen was rich, and if he wanted to make up for one hundred and twenty-eight lifts, there was no difficulty at all, but he needed to arrange it tightly, so as not to exceed the number of one hundred and twenty-eight lifts. Qin Hanzhen himself didn't want to behave too much, so as not to have people with red eyes in the future, or cause outsiders to gossip. It's a pity that sometimes even if she doesn't want to be entrenched, the scale of her dowry is there, and she can't keep a low profile at all.

The day before the wedding, the people of the Yongjiahou Mansion sent the dowry to the newly rebuilt Suning County Palace. Since the two families are located in the front and back streets, they are very close to each other, and Qin Bai and Qin Ping's father and son are not people who like to show off, so the dowry team did not detour, so honestly walked out of the gate of Yongjiahou Mansion, and then turned into the west avenue, and then turned into the second intersection, and went straight to the main gate of Suning County Palace. As a result, when the dowry at the front entered the gate of the county king's mansion, two-thirds of the dowry procession at the back did not leave the Yongjiahou Mansion. Although it was a very low-key ten-mile red makeup, it also attracted many onlookers, all of whom were amazed.

Some people recall the scale of the dowry when the eldest granddaughter of the Cheng'en Hou Mansion was married, and feel that although these two Hou Mansions are a family, the three rooms that have risen later seem to have more financial resources than the long houses that have been beautiful for a long time. Otherwise, they are also the eldest granddaughters, and they got married in the same year, why do these three girls have more dowries than the second girls?

Someone with good deeds ran to Yao's to talk about this, although Yao's heart was also a little sour, but he did not complain as those people wished, and only said with a smile: "Sanfang has always loved this granddaughter the most, and she is married to the palace, if she is not generous enough, won't it make the nobles in the clan see the joke? Where is this? Our third uncle and third aunt are people who don't like to be publicized! Otherwise, how could the dowry of the three girls be only so much?" Those who have the intention to provoke themselves are bored, so they have to leave in disgrace.

Yao has always scoffed at this kind of person. Doesn't she know that Sanfang is marrying her granddaughter beautifully, and she has surpassed her precious daughter? But what can she do? Now Sanfang is richer than Changfang, and she is willing to support Changfang. Although she is a little aggrieved for her daughter, she still has to think about her son. The son's good family affairs can be said to be the blessing of the third room, and if the son wants to be admitted to the Jinshi in the future, the guidance of the third uncle Qin Bai is indispensable. She is not a white-eyed wolf, and she can still make trouble with Sanfang for a little dowry and a few gossips from outsiders?

Even Yao's family thinks so, and other relatives and friends are unlikely to say anything sour. Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun both rushed to the Yongjiahou Mansion to be Qin Hanzhen's companion, and they only had envy and admiration for her rich dowry, and there was no jealousy.

It's just that Qin Jinhua can't help but think of her cousin Qin Jinyi: "She once tried to send a girl to look for me in private, but she didn't know what she wanted me to help her, she only said that she wanted me to go to see her and beat her mother's family for her." I thought to myself, Duchess Pei, Uncle Pei, and Grandma Pei are all elders, what can I beat them? And the Duke Pei Guofu is guarding filial piety, how can I go to the door to disturb me if I have nothing to do? My mother-in-law will not allow it. The eldest sister didn't say that she had suffered any grievances from her in-laws, and I couldn't help if I wanted to, so I had to give her girl a little silver and a few packs of supplements. After that, she didn't send anyone over, and I don't know if she annoyed me, and I didn't want to come to the door to ask, so I felt sad for a while. ”

Qin Jinchun hurriedly said: "Second sister, don't pay attention to her! She is now in a very stiff relationship with her mother-in-law's family, and her mother-in-law's family gets along with us quite well, but she can't get used to some of her words and deeds, and if she wants to correct her, she will be punished for copying "Women's Training" and "Women's Commandment" or something, and she will also set rules for her. She was aggrieved, feeling that she was the niece and granddaughter of the queen and should not be treated like this, so she wanted to use her jewelry to buy the people waiting around her, so as to calculate her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law found out and was beaten down. The Pei family raised her with good food and drink, and they never treated her badly, but they were treated like this by her, so they naturally refused to do it. They are intrigued by their own families, what are we going to do in it? The big sister is not reasonable, so she doesn't have to get into trouble!"

Qin Jinhua suddenly realized: "So that's the case! Then I really shouldn't get involved." This kind of thing is wrong with the eldest sister. She sighed, "I actually just saw the third sister's ten-mile red makeup today, and remembered that the eldest sister used to value these things the most, if she knew the scenery of the third sister's marriage now, she might not feel uncomfortable." ”

Qin Jinchun snorted: "She is uncomfortable when she sees who gets married." She has been the eldest sister for a long time, and she can't see any of the younger sisters below crossing her. But this family business was found by herself, and she was married in a hurry, who would not be more beautiful than her when she married?

Qin Jinhua sighed, suddenly remembered something, and asked Qin Jinchun: "How is my uncle's injury now?

Qin Jinchun couldn't help but look ashamed, and said to Qin Hanzhen: "Third sister, I'm sorry, your happy wine, I'm afraid that only my mother and me, as well as Brother Xun, can come." My father...... His injuries were not yet complete, and he insisted on refusing to show his face. Although the injury on his foot is no longer serious, he walks slower, and is no different from ordinary people, but the injury on his wrist is still unmarried, he can't even pick up chopsticks, and he is taking medicine and can't drink. My father was worried that someone would find out about his injury at the wedding party, so he had to excuse himself with a foot injury. I know it's rude, but my father has made up his mind, and I can't say anything more than to make amends to you. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "It's okay, the eldest uncle can't come, I thought of it a long time ago." The eldest uncle is seriously injured, so what's the big deal about a wedding feast? I asked him to bring a table of noodles to the eldest uncle, so that he could enjoy it at home by himself, but the wine would not be given, so as not to conflict with the medicine he was taking. ”

Qin Jinchun hurriedly said: "There is really no need to be so polite. My father is taking medicine now, and there are many things to taboo, and the third sister sent the table noodles over, and he couldn't eat a few dishes, so he was really unlucky. ”

Qin Han Zhenyuan was just polite, meaning that since Qin Jinchun said so, she didn't insist anymore. Whether or not to send the table at that time depends on the meaning of Qin Ping and Cai Shengnan. In fact, deep down in her heart, she was quite happy that Qin Bofu would not attend her wedding banquet, and she didn't have much affection for this eldest uncle. He can't attend, and she can't see it.

Qin Jinhua said again: "Speaking of which, my grandmother is not very good, and I am afraid that she will not be able to come to the wedding banquet of the third sister...... Although the third uncle and grandmother and the fourth aunt will definitely send her a table to over, it is always a pity that she cannot attend. My grandmother had been depressed about this two days earlier, and my brother had been trying to comfort her for a long time, but he could not make her happy. When my brother told me about this, he felt very uncomfortable. ”

Qin Han really thought that the Xu family couldn't come, which was also good. This uncle and grandmother don't look at anything on weekdays, and when they become paranoid, it's really unbearable. Her happy wine, the eldest aunt Qin Youzhen and the Lu family brothers will definitely come, what if the Xu family entangles the Lu family's mother and son to discuss Lu Chuliang's marriage?

However, in front of Qin Jinhua, a little naïve, of course Qin Hanzhen couldn't say that, he only smiled and said, "It's okay, the body of the uncle and grandmother is important." When her illness is cured, I will go back to the host alone and invite her to a banquet. He prevaricated again.

While talking, Cai Yuanzhen and Lu Yueniang arrived, and the Qin Hanzhen sisters hurriedly greeted them, and when everyone met, there was another greeting and reminiscence, and in a blink of an eye, no one mentioned the two elders who could not attend the wedding banquet.
