Pei's mother and daughter watched Chang leave, turned around, and entered the Hanging Flower Gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhao Qingyi accompanied her mother back to Jifutang, she knew that her mother must have something to tell her, but she was in a good mood today, so she was not as impatient as she was on weekdays.

"Mother, why do you say that we don't have a suitable hairpin, obviously we have already picked it?" Zhao Qingyi was the first to ask.

Pei Shi took off the hairpin ring and said, "Mrs. Tai brought the box over, and I guessed that it was such a thing, and she couldn't let her lose face." ”

Zhao Qingyi's eyes lit up, "Mother, you are really powerful, you can see the doorway at a glance." ”

Pei Shi was very praised by his daughter, but he only smiled slightly, not showing his feelings.

She helped her mother remove the ruby earrings, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I admire people like Mrs. Tai, the old marquis was romantic back then, I heard that he took a lot of concubines, but none of them climbed on her head, except for Mrs. Tai, none of them gave birth to children." ”

Pei Shi frowned when he heard this, if he couldn't give birth to a child, it must be Mrs. Tai's way, after all, this kind of thing is crooked, but her daughter admired it, this axis is really helpless!

She couldn't help but reprimand a few more words, but Zhao Qingyi still couldn't listen to it. She didn't want to argue with her daughter anymore, so after changing her clothes, she told her to go back to her room and rest.

After she left, Pei couldn't help but rub her eyebrows. When I saw it today, she was actually very suspicious of Chang's character in her heart, what was the matter with her saying that about the guest of honor, and when she thought about it, she felt that she was giving them no face.

Originally, the conversation was speculative, but today I felt that her words were full of temptation and disdain for the Zhao family, and she had become a family, but she still had to put on a superior posture and want to be in the limelight everywhere, which was really unpleasant. The incident in the old marquis's backyard shows her scheming. If a daughter marries into such a family, she doesn't know whether it's a blessing or a curse. It's just that the family matter has been settled for a long time, and there is no room for reversal, this kind of thing will only delay the woman's reputation.

In the next two days, the eldest master's younger brother's family and Pei's mother's family also came from afar one after another, and they all lived in the Zhao family, and the whole house was lively for a while.

In the blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the seventh month, and Zhao Qingyi's fifteenth birthday, which was also the day of the ceremony.

Early in the morning, the Zhao family opened the door to welcome guests from all over the world.

The ceremony was held in the spacious hugging building of Jifutang Hall, and the reception locations were the Tonghua Building in the inner courtyard and the Shende Building in the outer courtyard, which were used to entertain female and male guests respectively.

Pei attaches great importance to this matter, so today's series of etiquette are personally taken care of, combing Zhao Qingyi's hair and changing clothes were assigned to the more experienced Fei Wen and Huichun, and Zhishu and Yiying were assigned to Tonghua Mansion to entertain guests together with the second-class maids in Jifu Hall.

Although men and women are entertained separately, since Zhao Qingyi's family affairs have been decided, according to the rules, male guests can also enter the inner courtyard to watch the ceremony, so some people are also assigned to be guides in Shende Building.

Yiying got up early in the morning and carefully sorted out a few clothes and jewelry that Zhao Qingyi was going to wear today, and after the matter was done, she rushed to Tonghua Building to wait for guests.

Pei was busy taking care of his daughter, and the hospitality was handed over to his mother's second sister-in-law, Zhang. Pei's second brother is also from Jinshi, and now he is the prefect of Jinling, the Pei family is well-known in Jinling, and Zhang is also a very shrewd and capable person. Although the Zhang family didn't know any people in Beijing, he heard Pei's family talk about some family relations yesterday, and he was also very sure about the guests.

The first to arrive was Liu, the wife of Dali Siqing. Liu is in his thirties, dressed in a garnet red gown, combed a peony bun, his face is white, and he looks very kind and gentle. She and Zhang's one is a Zhengbin and the other is a praiser, and they have seen it before, so they greeted each other skillfully.

Liu also brought her only daughter, seven or eight years old, looking a little shy, when Yiying stepped forward to serve tea to the two of them, Miss Liu smiled politely at her, revealing two pear vortices, very cute, it can be seen that her temperament is very similar to her mother.

After the Zhang family and the Liu family got acquainted, they gained a lot of confidence.

Next, the wife of the Ministry of Rites, Cui, the wife of the head of the Ministry of Works, Wang, the wife of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and the wife Ji, who had dealings with the Zhao family, also arrived one after another with their sons or daughters. Although most of these people don't know the Zhang family, because of the introduction of the Liu family, they also quickly accepted the Zhang family.

The ladies and girls took their seats in the inner courtyard, and the lords and sons were led to the Shende Building at the Hanging Flower Gate and were personally entertained by Lord Zhao.

After an hour or so, people came one after another, and the maid who was sent to Jifutang to inquire about the situation came back and replied, "...... The lady said that she would start saluting after half an hour......"

The word soon spread to the outer court as well.

Master Zhao was chatting with a few colleagues about political affairs, and several sons were also sitting on the side drinking tea and chatting. As soon as the words arrived, the eyes of a boy wearing cyan straight accents lit up, and he poked the person next to him with his arm, with a narrow expression: "Zi'an, do you want to go in and see your fiancée?"

The man who was called Zi'an was a little moved, but he refused: "Chang Ping, although you can enter according to the rules, but the elders are here, it's still not appropriate." ”

Chang Ping pouted: "I heard that you haven't seen it yet, so I don't believe you're not curious." ”

He is actually still very curious, although his mother has brought him two beautiful rooms, but his wife is a different concept, as a special person who has spent the rest of his life with him, he naturally hopes that she is as beautiful as a flower, gentle and virtuous. Thinking about it, I hesitated.

Chang Ping saw his hesitation, and pulled his sleeve with a wicked smile: "Then let's go quietly, how about it?"

Go quietly?Xu Xian looked at his companion suspiciously. Chang Ping looked at the back door of the Shende Building, where the clean room was located. Xu Xianyi willed, and Chang Ping went out of the back door one after the other.

The people inside thought that they had gone to the clean room, but only Master Zhao's eyes flashed with a little smile.

The two of them went out through the back door, naturally they didn't meet the guide maid, and they didn't want to alarm others, so they simply touched the way by themselves. They expected that the Zhao family should not be very big, but they didn't expect to enter the Hanging Flower Gate and turn a few corners, but they didn't know where it was.

There are blue brick roads all around, and there seems to be a pavilion not far away, but it doesn't look like the Jifu Hall they are going to.

Xu Xian complained a little: "I really shouldn't listen to you, I really want to find someone to guide me." ”

"Didn't you say you wanted to alarm others?" Chang Pingxiang jumped up as if he had been stepped on by his tail.

Xu Xian didn't bother to quarrel with him, and saw a woman in front of him walking out of the pavilion. He pulled Chang Ping forward and prepared to ask for directions.
