At the end of July, Lu Yueniang put on the bride's wedding dress, and with the blessing of her family and friends, she got on the Cai family's sedan chair and married into the Yunyang Hou Mansion. [Full text reading.]

The wedding was very lively, the Yunyang Hou Mansion was full of lights, the guests were full, and the banquet was thirty seats, and the identity of each guest who came to eat and drink should not be underestimated.

On the Lu family's side, although it is not as lively as the Yunyang Hou Mansion, it is also festive. Representatives of the Lu family from their hometown, plus the third room of the Qin family, as well as several relatives and friends, set up ten tables of wine in the newly moved house of the Lu family, and also had a big meal happily. Although Xu was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and he had vomited blood, he didn't show any abnormality, and with a smile on his face, he took the family from the doorway in the northeast corner, ate a wedding banquet, and said a lot of good things to his nephew Qin Youzhen. Qin Youzhen was not only happy, but also settled down in her heart. It seems that my aunt didn't blame her.

Zhao Mo and Qin Jian ate half a table of wine at the Lu family, and then they were about to leave and go to the Marquis of Yunyang's mansion. Cai Shizi also invited them, as well as Lu Chuming, who was going to his brother-in-law's house for a wedding banquet as an eldest brother. The three young people left together, and when Qin Bofu saw it, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He is the bride's own uncle, why did the bride's relatives who went to the Yunyang Marquis Mansion to eat the wedding wine only let Lu Chuming and Qin Jian, the two half-grown sons who had not dried up, be the representatives, but did not count his share? You know, there must be many dignitaries and nobles in the Yunyang Marquis Mansion today, and maybe there are also his former good friends. If he can also go to the Marquis of Yunyang's mansion, maybe he will be able to renew his friendship with old friends, or meet a few new friends......

Qin Bofu glanced at his son Qin Xun, who was burying his head in eating, and sighed. It's a pity that his son is a concubine, and he is young, and he has never been able to play with his cousin Qin Jian and cousin Lu Chuming, otherwise if he asks the child to follow his brothers, he may be able to climb some relationships. Helpless, his son doesn't know anything except eating and drinking, he really doesn't have any eyes!

Qin Zhonghai walked over to greet him with a smile: "Big brother, why is he drinking here alone? You haven't met a few fathers-in-law of the Lu family, have you? Come on, I'll introduce you." ”

Qin Bofu is not very interested in Lu Pu's cousins and clan uncles, but he is now holding his cousin Qin Zhonghai, and his brother-in-law Lu Pu is also a high-ranking official of the third grade, he has no friendship with his brother-in-law, and he has made friends with a few Lu family members, and he may be able to come in handy in the future. So he put aside his previous grievances, put on a smile, and followed Qin Zhonghai to drink and talk with others.

At the female guest table in the inner hall, Qin Jinyi was also like her father, sitting in the corner with a depressed face and not speaking. All the people who came to the banquet today were relatives and friends, except for the people of the Lu family, who had basically heard of her great achievements, and those who didn't know the specific deeds had also heard that she had a bad temper, and none of the girls came forward to greet her.

When Qin Youzhen arranged the seat, she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but she arranged her niece and nephew in the corner, except for her own sisters sitting nearby, she was some distance away from the other female guests, and she didn't want to move around more, for fear of exposing her leg disease, so she could only sit in the seat, unable to move around, let alone talk to other female guests. She can't just talk to people at the top of her voice from a distance, right?

So Qin Jinyi could only sit there silently, watching her cousins talk and laugh with girls from other families, but no one came to take care of her. Even Qin Hanzhen, who she always thought was a country girl who didn't know how to communicate, actually talked and laughed with the girls of the Min family, and discussed where to go to enjoy the autumn scenery and ride a horse after the autumn.

When did Qin Hanzhen learn this kind of pastime for a beautiful lady? Qin Jinyi thought that she would only stay at home to write and paint, and learn some rough piano music from Mr. Zeng. But more importantly, how could there be a lady from another family who befriended her? She didn't have a good reputation in the capital, and who didn't know that she was the eldest daughter of a widow and was raised by a rural shrew grandmother since she was a child? If it weren't for her good life, she had a kind-hearted grandfather who saved the king of Suning when he was down, and now she would not have the blessing to be assigned to marry the king of Suning County. It's not to repay the favor, and people who are talented in both civil and military affairs will not take a fancy to her!

Qin Jinyi was indignant in her heart. She thought of her past self, she was both talented and beautiful, and she was the eldest daughter, obviously the most outstanding of the sisters of the Qin family, Qin Jinhua was far worse than her, Qin Hanzhen only came back from the northwest at the age of eight, she didn't understand anything, Qin Jinchun was even more mediocre, Qin Jinrong was still young, and her temper was still stinky, which of them could compare with her?

However, just because she didn't have a good grandfather who was a marquis, and she was suppressed by the joint suppression of the long house and the third room, she ended up where she is now. Her leg was disabled, but she barely relied on the embroidered soles to make a fuss, barely trying to hide it, and her appearance was not as good as before. This is all a conspiracy of the long house! They are afraid that she will be better than Qin Jinhua, so they will attack her in this way! Otherwise, with her in the way, where will there be any sisters? Except for those who are snobbish and only go for the title, anyone who has eyes will not abandon her and go to the other sisters!

However, now, Qin Hanzhen, who came back from the countryside, was assigned to marry the king of Suning County, and he was sure that he would have the position of princess of the county. Qin Jinhua is also said to be discussing marriage with the eldest son of the Qing family in Dali Temple, and the other party is still a relative of the emperor, and he called his grandfather to His Royal Highness King Qin, the emperor's favorite. Even Qin Jinchun also climbed the East Palace, and was deeply favored by the lord of Minshun, so he would not worry about marrying in the future. Not to mention the younger two, among the sisters, she Qin Jinyi is the oldest, but to this day, the marriage has not yet been settled.

Qin Jinyi once laughed at Qin Jinhua and the Qin family room behind her, and tried her best to do her best, but she didn't fail to win Xu Zheng's family business? But Qin Jinhua doesn't have Xu Zheng, and Tang Han, it seems that he is not much worse than Xu Zheng. What's the point of laughing at her? Qin Jinyi thought that she had not been able to make up her mind for a long time, so she didn't even have the heart to ridicule Qin Jinhua.

Xu Zheng didn't marry Qin Jinhua, but he also didn't marry her Qin Jinyi. What is there for her to be happy about?!

How can I think that Miss Nalu can do it? But because she is the niece and granddaughter of Mrs. Xu, she just got this family business. In terms of family background, appearance, and talent, how can she compare to the eldest daughter of the Qin family and the niece and granddaughter of the empress's mother? Mrs. Xu is really blind! Obviously she has such an outstanding grandson, but she is only bent on promoting her mother's family and asking her husband's family to supplement her mother's family, and she does not hesitate to sacrifice her own grandson, preferring to give up other better marriages. The Xu family has such a housewife, and sooner or later it will be defeated! How unfortunate Xu Zheng is that he has such a selfish grandmother, and he will ruin her in this life!

Qin Jinyi sighed for Xu Zheng once, and felt sorry for herself again. If she successfully calculated Xu Zheng during the Chinese New Year, I am afraid that she will be the one who will marry into the Xu family now, and she will not ask Xu Zheng to insert a flower on the cow dung.

But she thought of what she heard from her grandmother, father, and sister Jinchun about the changes in the Xu family a few days ago, and she was a little hesitant. She still hopes to marry into a wealthy family. Since the Xu family has been defeated, no matter how good Xu Zheng is, he can't let her enjoy the glory and wealth in peace. This young man she has admired for a long time no longer seems to be her ideal husband candidate. It seems that she and he missed it, and it seems that it is also providence, and providence is inviolable......

Qin Jinyi sat in her seat, with a smile on her face, a burst of crying, a burst of joy, and a burst of sadness, and the people around her were inexplicable. A few of the younger girls were scared and ducked. Qin Hanzhu quietly asked Qin Hanzhen: "Big sister, what's wrong?" It was the first time she had seen this hall sister.

Qin Hanzhen secretly looked at Qin Jinyi's eyes, guessing in his heart that the other party was probably making up something in his brain, and he knew that it would not be a good thing, so he said to Qin Hanzhu: "I don't know, maybe it was convulsions, right? She was sick before, recuperated for more than half a year, and was only taken home not long ago, maybe the illness is not completely cured." Don't get too close to her, get through the sickness. ”

Qin Hanzhu was startled, but quickly reacted, Qin Hanzhen was joking. But Qin Jinyi, the lobby sister, is definitely not very popular, don't you see that the other cousins are unwilling to approach her? Even the girls waiting around her have a wary look in their eyes. Qin Hanzhu knew it in her heart, and obediently followed behind Qin Hanzhen or Qin Jinrong, occasionally saying a few words to the girls of the Min family, not talking to Qin Jinyi at all, and not approaching her.

When the banquet on the Lu family's side was over and all the guests dispersed, Qin Jinyi found that he had been sitting at the Lu family's wedding banquet for a long time, and he hadn't made friends with anyone, let alone any wife and wife, and he didn't even inquire about any useful news, and he didn't find out which family had sons of the right age who had not yet married.

Not to mention how Qin Jinyi was reprimanded by her grandmother Xue after returning home, the wedding of the Cai and Lu families was very successful, and after Lu Yueniang passed the door, she was highly praised in her husband's house, and her in-laws, aunts and sisters-in-law were very satisfied with her. When she returned to the door, she and Cai Shizi were also affectionate and loving, and Qin Youzhen was relieved when she saw this.

After Lu Yueniang and Cai Shizi met their mother, they also took their husband to the Chengenhou Mansion to meet the Xu family. Although Xu is only a maternal uncle and grandmother, in Lu Yueniang's heart, she is no different from her maternal grandmother. For her grandmother Xue, she is not so close. The cousins of the long house are also like brothers and sisters to her. Moreover, her father is an official outside, and in the future in the capital, the Qin family will be her maiden family, so she naturally hopes that her husband will have a harmonious relationship with his mother's family.

Cai Shizi smiled and visited the Chengenhou Mansion with her, and then took her to Xifu to meet Yongjiahou Qin Bai and his wife Niu, and treated the Qin family's room and the third room equally. However, due to time constraints, they didn't have time to go to the second room, so they went back to the Yunyang Hou Mansion for dinner. However, due to the attitude shown by Cai Shizi, he obviously loves the house and Wu, and is very close to the maiden relatives of his newlywed wife, and the Xu family and Qin Zhonghai are also very happy in their hearts. The in-laws of the Marquis of Yunyang finally recognized it.

After Lu Yueniang returned to the door on the third day, August was approaching. It was time for Qin Jian and Lu Chuming to participate in the township test. Qin Jian took the exam in Beijing, but Lu Chuming needed to go back to Jinan Mansion in Shandong to take the exam, and he and Qin Youzhen's mother and son were leaving Beijing.

Two days before Qin Youzhen's departure, the Xu family once again sent a confidant to invite Qin Youzhen to Songfeng Hall.
