Chapter 52: The Wedding Banquet of the Zhou Mansion

"Second Miss, the Holy Lord, please go to the Xuanshu Hall." Xiao Wanyao was looking out the window, and Licorice entered the house and said.

Xiao Wanyao didn't look back, still looking out the window, her voice was as quiet as water: "Go and tell the eunuch who passed the word, Xiao Wanyao occasionally felt cold today, so she was unwell, and it was not suitable to face the saint, let him say sorry to the saint, and when Xiao Wanyao is better, he will go to the Xuanshu Hall to see the driver." ”

Licorice looked sad, walked up to Xiao Wanyao, and said in a low voice: "Second Miss, it's not appropriate to say this!?" The saint will not know that today is the day of the eldest lady's marriage, you have been very unhappy some time ago because you couldn't go to the wedding banquet scene, today, the saint will think that the second lady is in a trouble, this will make the saint unhappy!? ”

Xiao Wanyao replied lazily: "Don't 'think', I'm just making a fuss, if he is not happy, he will not be happy, I am not a saint, how can I have no desire, no desire, no joy and no sorrow?" You say that I have a cold and that I have to recuperate for a few days. ”

Licorice had no choice but to withdraw and follow Xiao Wanyao's instructions.

Xiao Wanrou's wedding Tang Siqi, as the emperor, of course would not go to the banquet, but Xue Tianao was different, Xue Youcheng would seem too formal if he went, but if he didn't go, it would not be very friendly, and in the end the Xue family could only send Xue Tianao to go.

Of course Xue Tianao is willing to go, this kind of occasion where he can drink freely is not much in his life, whether it is his father or sister Xue Qingyi, they are trying their best to restrict Xue Tianao and his fox friends from going out to mess around, so Xue Tianao has restrained a lot in the past year.

Although it was a wedding banquet now, Xue Tianao couldn't drink with his drinking friends, but after all, the occasion was lively, and Xue Tianao felt that he would be in a good mood when he drank when he thought about it.

Putting on the newly made clothes of the ready-to-wear division, the pattern is still unique, Xue Tianao prepared the carriage and went to the Zhou Mansion.

Before evening, Xue Tianao sat in the carriage and saw from a distance that the Zhou Mansion was already full of lights, and even the outside of the door had been arranged extremely luxuriously, with red lanterns made of silk hanging on both sides of the road, and the road illuminated by the burning candles was festive red.

"Yes." Xue Tianao thought about it, Zhou Xinning's father is just a scholar, and his sister is only a concubine, and he can suddenly climb up to Xiao Zuoxiang, who is on an equal footing with Xue Youcheng, this is simply a huge pie that falls on the heads of everyone in the Zhou family from the sky, no wonder Concubine Jin has not provoked Xiao Wanyao recently, it should be for fear of disturbing this great thing for the Zhou family!

Xue Tianao got out of the carriage and saw that a long queue had been sent outside the door of the Zhou family, all of whom were people who came to talk to the Zhou family and the Xiao family, most of them were officials and businessmen, and they lined up in a long line to take advantage of the wedding banquet to give gifts.

Xue Tianao saw that there were all people in front of the main gate, and he was struggling how to get in, when a family member came over and recognized Xue Tianao at a glance.

"Isn't this Xue Ye! Why stand at the door and not go in? The family who spoke, Xue Tianao, looked familiar, although he couldn't name him, he knew that he should be a slave who followed Zhou Xinning.

Xue Tianao often went out to eat, drink and have fun with Zhou Xinning a few years ago, but later felt that he couldn't play together, Xue Tianao likes to drink and gamble, while Zhou Xinning prefers all kinds of Fengyue places, often lingering night and night.

Although Xue Tianao is stubborn, he also thinks of himself as high, and he can eat, drink and have fun with those women in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, but he will never spend the night with those women, so after a long time, Xue Tianao and Zhou Xinning will play less together.

Xue Tianao glanced at the family and said, "You look at the front of the gate like a vegetable market, your eyes are full of people, is this where you Xue Ye and I should go?" ”

The family immediately understood, and only told Xue Tianao to wait here for a while, and then ran into the mansion with a puff of smoke, and after a while, someone came out to clear the venue, leading the other guests to the side door, and emptying the door of the entire Zhou mansion.

The family ran out again at this time, stood beside Xue Tianao, and said with a flattering smile: "Is Xue Ye still satisfied?" This is what our Young Master Zhou meant. ”

Xue Tianao hooked the corners of his mouth and walked towards the door, while at the same time taking out a piece of silver from his shirt and throwing it on the ground, he said casually: "Yours." Then he entered the Zhou Mansion.

The family picked up the silver and looked at it, not only lamenting that he didn't have much fun rewarding Xue Tianao for a year. Emperor Du has an evaluation that is really right, Xue Tianao is really a character that people love and hate.

The Zhou Mansion is also full of lights, and several tables have been set up in the courtyard for the banquet alone, and the guests are also full, which shows how much attention people pay to this wedding.

Xue Tianao couldn't help but smile secretly, Xiao Wanrou was under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, no matter how unhappy she was, she wouldn't come out!

If she doesn't do such a bad thing to cause Xiao Wanyao to enter the palace, maybe she doesn't have to marry Zhou Xinning, maybe Xiao Man will find a good family for her to marry, or the draft will enter the palace next year, and the scenery will be canonized, anyway, Tang Siqi needs Xiao Man's support now, so even if she enters the palace as a concubine, Tang Siqi will be very good to her, but she wants to do this...... Thinking of Xiao Wanyao, Xue Tianao's expression couldn't help but dim a lot.

"Bastard, how can you let Xue Gongzi stand here!?" The voice of Zhou Shangshu scolding the slave sounded beside him, and Xue Tianao came back to his senses and saw that he was scolding the family who was standing aside and didn't do anything.

"Xue Gongzi is really sorry, the Zhou family has not done a good job of disciplining his subordinates on weekdays, and now he has neglected Xue Gongzi......" Zhou Shangshu smiled, although he was an official of the imperial court, but it was a bad thing to provoke Xue Gongzi after all.

"It's okay, Xinning is happy today, I just came to see him, there is a jade statue of Guanyin in my carriage, I specially invited him for him." Xue Tianao said to Zhou Shangshu.

Zhou Shangshu asked the family on the side to take someone to pick it up, and then said: "I heard Xinning say that Xue Gongzi was coming early in the morning, so I prepared Xue Gongzi's banquet early, and Xue Gongzi sat down with the old man today." ”

Xue Tianao waved his hand and said: "Tianao is neither a relative of the Zhou Xiao family, nor is he a highly respected person, how can He De sit on the seat as soon as he comes?" The adults still casually find a corner for Tianao, and let Tianao drink is enough. ”

"Where is Xue Gongzi? A few days ago, you personally sent the Fengguan Xia curtain to Xiaofu, you are a good brother of Xinning, and now you are coming to the banquet, representing the Xue family! How noble is the Xue family? It's well deserved! Zhou Shangshu's words have come to this point, Xue Tianao no longer refused, and Zhou Shangshu took him into the house and sat on the seat.

Soon the firecrackers sounded outside the door, it turned out that the son of the Zhou family ushered in the bride, many guests went out to watch the excitement, but Xue Tianao was too troublesome to move, and Zhou Xinning could be seen from a distance stepping off the high-headed horse and leading the bride in the sedan chair into the door.

Xue Tianao, who was drinking alone in the bustle outside, was very lonely, his mind was not here at all at the moment, and when it was so lively, he remembered to sit side by side with Xiao Wanyao in the night of the Purple Palace......

When he came back to his senses, Xue Tianao saw that the wedding had already reached the time of kneeling and bowing.

Xue Tianao was drinking on the side, but was stopped by Zhou Shangshu: "Xue Gongzi come here, since you are here on behalf of the Xue family, you should be bowed by Xiao'er." ”

Xue Tianao originally wanted to refuse, but Zhou Xinning simply left the bride and walked straight towards him, saying, "My father is right, Xue Ye should not shirk." ”

Xue Tianao was too lazy to argue, so he was pulled over by Zhou Xinning.

The bride saw that Xue Tianao's back was stiff, but she still bowed down with the groom, Xue Tianao didn't know that Xiao Wanrou had become angry with Xiao Wanyao at this time, which was why she would have trouble in the future.

After the ceremony, the bride went back to the backyard, and Zhou Xinning stayed to accompany the guests, and got Zhou Shangshu's instructions to let him focus on accompanying Xue Tianao.

Zhou Xinning accompanied the guests to drink while walking, and when he arrived at Xue Tianao's side, he was already slightly drunk, he usually disagreed with Xue Tianao in private, but when he really saw Xue Tianao, he only dared to flatter and cater to him, and basically laughed with him all the time.

"Master Xue, we haven't been together for a long time, let's have a drink together! The little brother does it first for respect! Zhou Xinning raised his head and drank the whole glass of wine, Xue Tianao hooked the corners of his mouth beside him, and only raised the wine glass after watching him finish drinking.

"We Xinning are also married now, and it is time to start a business after that, come, drink, and my brother will also toast you!" Xue Tianao was not far behind, and casually drank a glass of wine.

The two talked and laughed, so they drank until the night, Zhou Xinning could only snub the bride in order to accompany Xue Tianao, but he thought about the long future, and pleasing Xue Tianao at the moment was the most important thing.

Zhou Shangshu prepared a sufficient amount of aged flower carvings for the two of them to enjoy, and before they knew it, the sky turned from dark to twilight, Xue Tianao was already drunk, Zhou Xinning was also drunk into a puddle of mud, Xue Tianao called the accompanying eunuch, and then staggered to rely on the eunuch to leave the Zhou Mansion, and left drunk in the carriage.

Xiao Wanrou waited in the marriage room all night, and it was not until dawn that Zhou Xinning was pushed and carried back to the new house by the family, although Zhou Xinning was quite handsome, but at the moment, the smell of wine and the groggy appearance made Xiao Wanrou have no good impression at all, but there was no other way but to tear off the hijab angrily, and then sit on the soft collapse on the side and get angry alone.

The more Xiao Wanrou thought about it, the more she felt that her misfortune was caused by Xiao Wanyao, and she had to take revenge on her no matter what!!

Xiao Wanyao only woke up at this time, and listened to licorice say that Xue Tianao pulled Zhou Xinning to drink all night, and only came back at dawn.

"If that's the case, then wouldn't the eldest lady stay in the new house all night?" Licorice asked while helping Xiao Wanyao get dressed.

"I guess so." Xiao Wanyao replied, thinking at the same time, Xiao Wanrou's mood must be very complicated, right!?

"The slave is worried about Xue Gongzi, can your body stand it after drinking it this night?" Licorice said, "It's better for the second lady to prepare some hangover medicine for Xue Gongzi, so as to save your body discomfort." ”

Xiao Wanyao raised the corners of her mouth and said, "You care about him, but no, everyone knows about our previous relationship, and they also know that Xue Tianao doesn't like to deal with me now, so I took the initiative to send him hangover medicine, what do others think?" ”I1483
