37. Invitation
Because it is the marriage given by the emperor, everyone does not dare to delay, the first five items of Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, and the invitation period are quickly completed, and the day of welcoming the relatives is set on the tenth day of the lunar month, because the ancestral home of the Miao family is in Fengzhou, and Fengzhou is more than ten days away from the capital, so the woman will marry at the end of the winter month, and then wait for the auspicious day to come in a courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing of the Yao family, and the man will come to greet him.

And now Xiao Miao is busier than ever, this year is the first year of the Yao family's filial piety, naturally it is going to be a big deal, the New Year's gifts of various relatives, as well as the inventory of various industries at the end of the year, and Yao Chongming's marriage, Xiao Miao had to endure the grief and indignation, and cheered up to deal with it. But this year is not as good as in previous years, in previous years, the old lady sent a hosta to help, but this year the old lady took the hosta to take care of Yao Chongming's marriage matters, Xiao Miao had to deal with many chores alone, and when he was tired and was about to vomit blood, he suddenly remembered a person, that is Cui Yao.
Since Cui Yao returned home, Xiao Miao has been hanging her, Yao Chongming annoyed that she gave birth to a child privately, and she was not close to her, Cui Yao had to raise her son while pondering how to restore her favor, and now Xiao Miao took the initiative to throw an olive branch, Cui Yao thanked herself happily, cursed and swore for a long time, and finally regained Xiao Miao's trust. And because Xiao Miao has Cui Yao as a helper, he is finally no longer in a hurry.
On this day, Xiao Miao went to Shou'an Hall to discuss with the old lady about the wedding card of Yao Chongming's wedding banquet.
"Mother, how many families are here, and my daughter-in-law really can't make up her mind, whether to send them a post or not. Because there was a new enemy coming in, the relationship between Miao's aunt and nephew became much closer in an instant.
"Oh, how many are there?" Since I understood that this marriage had to be done, for the sake of the Yao family's face, and in order not to be picked on by the palace attendants at that time, the Miao family was extremely strict with the wedding, and everything had to be carried out with her consent.
"Most of these families are the same year as the uncle, and other families are just fine, but there are two families who have to ask their mothers. Speaking of the eldest uncle who died early, Xiao Miao remembered the embarrassing identity of his wife and concubine, and his heart was awkward for a while.
If it was in the past, the Miao family was unwilling to use the original concubine who died early to connect with the famous families of various families for his son, but now because the secretary of Dai Shang hated the Yao family and repented of the marriage, and Yao Chongming was on an errand under him, he had let Yao Chongming eat several reprimands in a row, and did tricks and feet from it, so that Yao Chongming was also squeezed out in the yamen, so Miao had to cast a net everywhere and make contacts, hoping to help Yao Chongming. "That being the case, you said I'll help you with the details!"
Xiao Miao handed over the list in his hand, "This Su family is because once, Sister Qing happened to meet Miss Su on the road and broke the carriage, and helped her, we were still in the filial piety period at that time, so the two families did not have much contact, but since our family was out of the filial piety period, Mrs. Su has sent someone to send things to Sister Qing several times, and the daughter-in-law thought, should we also express it." ”
"Which Su family," the old lady knows a lot about the old family in Beijing, but the Su family was originally inconspicuous, and it is about the new rise now, and the old lady can't remember it.
"It is the Su family who married the Min family of An Guogong, the eldest master of the Su family married the sister of An Guogong, this eldest master of the Su family was the envoy of Huainan Province who returned to Beijing last year, and was later promoted to the Zhongshu waiter, and the outside said that the emperor was interested in Lord Su to take the original position of our old lady. ”
"That being the case, how can it be unreasonable!" "The Miao family was overjoyed when he heard this, such a close minister of the Son of Heaven, how many people want to make friends but they are suffering from no way, now such a good opportunity, how can they let it go, and for a while I can't remember when Yao Keqing met Miss Su Jia, but I just heard Xiao Miao's family say that there are two families, so I had to suppress the puzzlement in my heart and ask: "Which one is the other one?"
Xiao Miao's also hoped that the old lady could respond to the post to these two families, and saw that the old lady was very happy to answer the Su family, thinking that she could use the marriage to have a relationship with these families, and the new hillbilly had something to fight with her, and heard the old lady mention another family, and hurriedly said, "This other family is the Pingguo Mansion, and the Pingguo Duke and An Guogong are both founding heroes, but their family is a military attaché, and there has never been any intersection with our family." It's just that now the fourth master of the Pingguo Mansion is taking the path of the imperial examination, and he was in the same department as the eldest uncle. And one is the first place in the second class, and the other is the second place in the second class, and the relationship is even closer than other peers!"
"Is this Pingguo Mansion still the princess?" the old lady asked suddenly.
"Yes!" Xiao Miao went to this, and now the old lady suddenly asked, thinking that the old lady didn't want to have anything to do with the royal family, and said with some apprehension for a while, "It's the fourth elder brother of the fourth master of Song, the third master of Song, and the eldest princess Zhaomin, the sister of the current saint." ”
"If that's the case, I'll invite it, but it's not good to invite the Pingguo Mansion, so it's good to invite Song Si Master with the friendship of the same year. "Miao thought that the princess should not stick it like this, so as not to be looked down upon, it is better to take it step by step!
"Just do what my mother says!" Xiao Miao's heart blossomed, and he secretly said in his heart, Zhu, you are a fatherless and motherless orphan girl from a poor countryside, even if you have the title of Mrs. Yipinhou, you can't fight me, the Fang family, who is not much higher than you, is not my opponent, you are a broken family with nothing but empty fame, what to compare with me.
The decree of marriage only made Xiao Miao depressed for a few days, and then she quickly adapted to the fact that she was not Mrs. Hou, and regained her fighting spirit to welcome the upcoming Zhu family.
"Mother, are you looking for me?" Song Ziqing saw the big red bronzing post in the hand of the eldest princess Zhaomin, and thought about what the third brother had just said, and understood most of it in his heart.
"Hmm......" Princess Zhaomin beckoned to Song Ziqing with the robe in hand, "Qing'er come here, my mother made a new robe for you, try it quickly, see if it fits?"
"Mother! These things can be done by the needle and thread people, why do you have to do it yourself! You already have an old disease in your eyes, how can you do these things again?" Although Song Ziqing didn't want to work his mother, he couldn't live up to his mother's wishes, so he had to take off his coat and put on the white silver silk dark pattern tuanhua robe.
"Where is it as serious as you say! I'm just doing a few stitches a day, I've been making this robe since the beginning of autumn, and it's been half a year young!"
"My son has grown a lot taller, I deliberately put this robe an inch and a half longer, thinking that you can still wear it next year, but now you are wearing it just right, and I am afraid that you will not be able to wear it next year. The eldest princess Zhaomin looked at her son, who was immature but still as good as the wind of Yushu, and was very pleased, "I'll make you a new one next year, and I'll put a few more inches in it then!"
"My son's clothes are enough, so my mother should rest!" Song Ziqing changed into the clothes he had just now and handed the robe to Princess Zhaomin.
The eldest princess of Zhaomin folded her robe, picked up the invitation that was put aside, and said: "This is your fourth uncle's post, which was personally sent by the Changxiang Hou Mansion this morning, please invite your fourth uncle to eat and drink!"
"But the one that the imperial uncle personally gave the marriage?" Song Ziqing asked with a twisted eyebrow.
"That's it!" Princess Zhaomin threw down the post, "Our family originally had nothing to do with theirs, but your fourth uncle and the deceased son of the Yao family in the previous life were in the same family, and now they are posted like this! Even the dead brother is used, how can such a family be worthy of the emperor's marriage? It's still a stepfamily!" She looks down on those who don't even want face in order to drill camps. People who have never come and go, now they are climbing up like this, and everyone feels that they have ulterior motives.
"Since you are the fourth uncle who invited, why did this post come from my mother?" Song Ziqing glanced at the wedding card and asked.
"Your fourth uncle still had some friendship with the deceased Yao Shizi, but then the person was gone, and the friendship was broken, and now the Changxiang Marquis and Zhao Liangfang, he is now married to this is the stepfamily of the long house, he borrowed to marry the long house, your fourth uncle can't refuse, your fourth aunt is sick, and he doesn't know what to do, no, just send the post to me?"
"The third brother is also older, and it's time to go out to socialize!" Song Zi said lightly something that made people scratch their heads.
The eldest princess Zhaomin was stunned for a moment, and instantly laughed, "You kid! He wants to catch up with your fourth uncle, although it is a family affair of the elders, it is a bit rude to go to a junior, but this is a steproom, and it is not so particular, when the time comes, let your fourth uncle call him sick, and your third brother can run this trip for him!"
"Mother's idea is very good!" Song Ziqing smiled softly, thinking of the song Xiao Yin, the corner of his mouth raised the arc of the incredible beauty, which made the girl who poured the tea blushing instantly, and ran out after pouring the tea.
When Song Ziqing returned to his study, as soon as he entered the door, he found that the cup on the table had traces of movement, and the books he often read were also misplaced, and he raised his eyelids lightly and swept them, but there was no one in the room, Song Ziqing also pretended not to know, sat down quietly, picked up the book and read it as usual, and then when he heard a soft sound, he suddenly turned back and grabbed a fist that wanted to attack him.
"Ziqing, your skills are getting better and better! I adore you so much!" The young man who was caught in the sneak attack was not annoyed, he withdrew his hand, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Song Ziqing with a look of adoration.
Song Ziqing twitched, turned his head and picked up the book and continued to read, "Why are you here today? Your mother is willing to let you go out?"
Zheng Yingqing said with a sad face: "If you have a mother who has to ask you every half an hour if you are hungry and cold, and then you have to watch you go back to the room every night when you are asleep, you don't want to go back to the house! Ziqing, you can take me in for one night today!" After speaking, Zheng Yingqing blinked her peach blossom eyes with tears and stared at Song Ziqing motionlessly.
Song Ziqing was very helpless by him, and was about to open the book with a book, when a roar sounded outside the door, "Song Ziqing, you villain!" With this roar, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy walked in with an angry face.
"Third brother, you're here!" Song Ziqing directly ignored his anger.
Song Ziqi looked at Song Ziqing's calm face that had not changed for thousands of years, and was instantly deflated, and after a while, he looked at Song Ziqing with a wicked smile and said: "You cheated me, I won't let you go!" I told my father, let's go together!"
Hearing this, Song Ziqing raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, Zheng Yingqing was confused by what they said, and couldn't help asking, "Where are you going?"
Song Ziqi said with a smile: "Zheng Sishao, my fourth brother and I are going to have a wedding wine, do you want to have a fun together?"
Song Ziqing frowned and was about to stop it, but Zheng Yingqing replied first: "Okay!
Looking at Zheng Yingqing, who was excited, and Song Ziqi, who was proud, Song Ziqing chose to be silent. Silence, silence, silence.
