The mother-in-law in the car in the yard unloaded back and forth several times before they finished moving, and Mrs. Cheng did not stop chanting Buddha in her mouth.

Mrs. Cheng's sharp cry came from the room.

"Who wants her stuff!"

With the sound of crying, Mrs. Cheng stumbled out of the house and threw out a few boxes.

The gold and silver jewelry in the box tumbled to the ground, glistening in the sunlight.

The servants and girls in one place rushed to pick it up, but no one was as fast as Mrs. Cheng's second wife.

Mrs. Cheng sat on the ground crying, beating her chest with her eyes closed.

"This is buying my son's life!"

"This is buying my son's life!"

Second Mrs. Cheng pursed her lips, and regardless of the maid watching from the side, she quickly picked up these jewelry.

"What is buying your son's life, Shiro was obviously killed by a prostitute when he went to the Qinglou by himself, what is in the way of our mother." She muttered, "Pingbai was tired of our Jiao Niang, otherwise it would be more beautiful to marry the county princess as the princess of the county, and now she is in such a hurry..."

Muttering here, Second Mrs. Cheng was anxious again, turned her head to look at the study on the side, and saw that Mrs. Cheng was crying in a daze, and the maids and servants also took care of her, so they picked up the packed box and turned around and left.

The two girls standing in the courtyard were dumbfounded.

"Second lady," they couldn't help but shout.

Second Mrs. Cheng stopped and glared at them.

"How?" She said, hugging the two boxes in her arms tightly, "This is a gift from our mother." ”

Can't she be a stepmother?

The girls didn't know what to say, and watched Second Mrs. Cheng walk away.

And in the study, I listened to Mrs. Cheng's cry here. Master Cheng was also crying silently.

"Sir. These are not the compensation that our lady gives you. Cao Gui said. It's..."

Master Cheng raised his hand to interrupt him.

"You don't have to say much, I know." He said, crying, "If she was really ruthless, she wouldn't have urged me to take them back to Jiangzhou in a hurry, in the capital, how dangerous and difficult the situation she faced, I really understand now." It's just sad that I can't help her. ”

Cao Gui leaned over and saluted.

"Little thanks, big master understands." He said, his voice choked up.

"Shiro was killed by others, not by Jiao Niang." Master Cheng raised his hand to wipe his tears, "Jiao Niang saved his life, and protected his reputation and future, but the result is still inescapable, this is his catastrophe, the most important thing is that Jiao Niang herself has to think about it, don't be stubborn in your heart." ”

Cao Gui kowtowed.

"These..."Master Cheng looked at the paperwork pushed in. She's going to get married, so hasty. The royal family obviously didn't give her face, and what did she send all this back? You put up a façade for her in the capital. ”

Cao Gui shook his head.

"The lady doesn't care about these façades either." He said, "The lady said that since these should be the family, they are the family, and those who have already gone through the clerical mansion, how can they not count, she only asked the little one to send the dowry left by the lady." ”

Master Cheng looked stunned.

Words must be done, deeds must be fruitful, she is not joking or perfunctory.

"Okay." He took a deep breath and nodded, "Then please rest assured, these industries, these hard work, I will definitely not spoil it." ”

Cao Gui responded.

"The little one will leave for Beijing tomorrow." He said.

"You're all going to go along?" Master Cheng asked, "There are only a few people, why don't you pick a few more from the family and bring them over." ”

"No need, the lady has always used not many people." Cao Gui said.

In lean.

Such as yourself.

He couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Master Cheng sighed and looked outside.

"The wedding date is the day after tomorrow, and you won't be able to catch her wedding." "We can't catch up either." ”

"The lady said, don't let you go." Cao Gui said hurriedly.

Master Cheng nodded solemnly.

"I know that not only will I not go, but I will also take strict care of the children in the family and not leave Jiangzhou." He said.

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the voice of an old woman outside.

“… Why don't you prepare a car ....... my family's delicate wedding....marry a royal nobleman, how can there be no one in my mother's family...."

"Yes, Mother, what kind of system is this?"

"You also said that since you, the father, knew that she was going to marry the king of the county, what did you do when you came back!"

"Mother, not a big brother yet!"

Cao Gui looked at Master Cheng, showing some sympathy.

"Then it's hard work, sir." He said as he got up and said goodbye.

Master Cheng nodded, stood up, and greeted his mother and younger brother with a bit of sadness and sorrow.

has given so much money and property, if he can't protect the Cheng family, then he, the parent, doesn't have to do it anymore.

Leaving the north, Cao Gui went to the shop again to tell the explanation, back to the south side of the sky is already dark, now the south of the new house has been built a lot, the ground has also been trimmed, not like in previous years, as soon as the rain on the sewage cross-flow mosquitoes everywhere, there are many people in the summer to rest the cold, children chase and laugh.

"Steward Cao."

Seeing him coming, he kept saying hello all the way, and beckoned him to eat together.

Cao Gui walked over with a smile.

"Cheng Ping." He shouted, looking at Cheng Ping, who was sitting under the big tree and surrounded by a group of children, who was foaming at the mouth.

Cheng Ping waved at him.

"I'm busy, I'm getting to the point." He shouted back.

Cao Gui had no choice but to walk over.

“… Loss is the first benefit, profit is the loss of the yuan, advance is the retreat, retreat is the root, the blessing is the beginning of the disaster, and the disaster is the blessing first..."

Cheng Ping said loudly.

But the children were noisy.

"Don't chant the scriptures, don't chant the scriptures, tell stories and tell stories."

"To tell a story, you have to tell a scripture." Cheng Ping said, "Don't be dissatisfied, this is where the essence and blood I got from reading books for ten years is not something that anyone can hear if they want to hear it, and they will benefit a lot from hearing it." ”

Cao Gui shook his head and smiled.

"Cheng Ping." He said, "Don't you really want to come with me into Beijing?" ”

Cheng Ping shook his head.

"I've earned enough for 100 yuan, and I'm going to study behind closed doors." He said. He smiled and waved his hand. "But I'll be in Beijing sooner or later. We'll see you then. ”

Cao Gui pouted.

"A hundred Wen can close the door, and he is not afraid of starvation." He muttered, glanced at Cheng Ping, who had started telling stories to the children again, and turned around and walked away.

Walking into the house, although Cheng Jianniang did not live here, the lights in the main house were also on, and the two little maids respectfully saluted.

Cao Gui rushed to the main house to give a salute, and then the little maid waited for him to wash and change his clothes. As soon as the meal was served, Cheng Ji came over with a few people.

"See if there's anything else you can do to help?" Cheng Ji asked.

"No, there's nothing to clean up." Cao Gui said.

Cheng Ji glanced at each other and pushed a box over.

"What is this?" Cao Gui asked.

"The lady's wedding, this is a little bit of our heart." Cheng Ji said.

Cao Gui frowned.

"Who let you break the bank, don't you know that your good life is the greatest wish for our lady." He said.

Cheng Ji smiled and nodded.

"We know." He said, opening the box, "It's not money." It was a few of us who hit a tile. ”

Wadang?

Cao Gui looked over curiously, and sure enough, he saw a tile in the box.

"This is—" he looked at the pattern on it.

"Folded branch lotus." Cheng Ji said. "This is the emblem of the ancestors of the old Cheng family, the lady has not grown up in the family since she was a child, and now she is getting married, and the lady lacks nothing, we want to give the lady a thought, let her know that when she goes there, Lao Cheng's family is her home."

Cao Gui nodded and smiled.

"Okay, you have a heart." He said, "The lady must be very happy. ”

Cheng Ji and the others also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.

"Then, it's okay to send it to the lady, and now a few of us want to send it to Steward Cao." A man said, took out a pot of wine, and placed it on a few cases, "Come, don't get drunk and don't return." ”

Cao Gui laughed.

"Okay, set the wine and food, don't get drunk and don't return."

This drunkenness made Cao Gui set off early, turned into a trip in the middle of the day, and walked out of the south under the send-off of everyone, but saw that the north side was sweeping the streets, putting out a few case stools, and the cars coming and going were continuous, and a grass shed was set up next to the corner of the wall, and the pot was being repaired.

"What is this?" Cao Gui asked in surprise.

"Uncle Cao, Mrs. Cheng will get married tomorrow, and Master Cheng will set up a flowing water banquet to celebrate for three days." A person who watched the excitement said busily, with excitement on his face, "Please invite the best chef in Dexing Building, everyone in Jiangzhou City can come to eat, and there is no need to be courteous." ”

"Isn't the cook tired to death?" Cao Gui said with a smile.

"Master Cheng gave a car of a lot of money, even if he is tired to death, there are people who are willing to do it." The other watched the hilarious shouting.

There was a burst of laughter on all sides.

Cao Gui also laughed.

Well, it is to be lively, even if it is not in front of you, it must also be lively.

He rolled over and urged the horse to gallop away.

The courtyard of the Cheng family was also chaotic as on the street, and Mrs. Cheng was sitting in the main hall, surrounded by seven or eight aunts who Cheng didn't know where to find them.

"....The old lady is blessed...."

“… I said that a few days ago, I dreamed that I was picking flowers in a yard, and I was really rich..."

“… The old lady has a son-in-law of the prince of the county..."

Old Madam Cheng's face was red when she was complimented, her eyes were shining, and she spoke loudly.

“… Her grandfather had known this child for a long time...", she exclaimed, "... I flipped through the book for half a year in order to come up with the name, but I was not satisfied, and I didn't get up well when I was born, so I went out to hit the name, and I happened to meet a big monk passing by, and I vomited one when I opened my mouth..."

Old Madam Cheng stumbled when she said this.

What's that fool's called?

"Fang." The servant woman on the side hurriedly reminded in a low voice.

"A nickname." Mrs. Cheng continued, her smiling eyes gone, "... What's even more amazing is that the old man bowed his head and said two words, he wanted to invite the monk to come to his house for a meal, and when he raised his head, the monk would not see it..."

"Oh, that's when I met the Buddha!" There was an exclamation all around.

Second Mrs. Cheng, who was standing outside the door, snorted.

"Shameless." She scolded in a low voice, "It seems that you want to be the queen's mother, and you will give the name of the Buddha, when you threw people into the urine bucket, you were not afraid of the Buddha cursing you." ”

Second Mrs. Cheng walked out of the house sullenly and stood in the inner alley to look out, listening to the shouting from this side. The food is coming over there. Several urns of wine are being unloaded. I kept chanting the Buddha in my heart.

"Bad practice, bad practice, sure enough, anyone who holds money that is not their own can be hard to practice."

At this time, the Cheng family in the capital was also full of liveliness in the courtyard.

"It's coming, it's coming."

Several servant women shouted, raising the curtains.

Cheng Jianniang turned around from the window and watched the hanger being brought in, and the golden wedding dress was red all over it.

Then came a group of children, leaning against the door. looked at the wedding dress curiously, and then looked at Cheng Jianniang.

Mrs. Chen came in person and took a few ladies and young daughters-in-law to inspect and praise the wedding dress and say some auspicious words.

"Come, I'll have a few words with you." Mrs. Chen was about to pull Cheng Jianniang, but before she could sit down, she shouted outside that Mrs. Tong was coming, and Mrs. Chen got busy.

"I'll talk to you later."

With Mrs. Chen leaving, the people in the house were busy and dispersed, and the room was quiet.

Cheng Jianniang slowly walked to the hanger and looked at the wedding dress. The doors and windows are open to fill the room with daylight, making the wedding dress more and more dazzling.

"Is it pretty?"

Someone asked outside.

Cheng Jianniang turned around. I saw Chen Danniang probing from the door.

"Beautiful." She laughs.

Chen Danniang walked in and also stood beside her and looked at the wedding dress.

"I think it's good-looking, too." She said, shaking Cheng Jianniang's sleeve, "Sister, you can wear it and try it." ”

Cheng Jianniang smiled, looked at the wedding dress for a moment, and stretched out her hand.

When Zhou Zhen walked into the courtyard, he looked up and saw that the woman in the entrance hall was stretching her arms and turning around, and people couldn't help but be stunned.

Red...

Bright red, brilliant red, golden silk thread, embroidery.

Naturally, he had seen marriages, but this moment seemed to be the first time he had seen such red.

Such a beautiful red.

Worn on the woman who has been wearing black clothes, it is like a peony blooming in the dark night.

She is dazzling in plain clothes, and she is still shining in dazzling clothes.

She's the only one who is there.

"The wedding dress is so beautiful!"

Chen Danniang's delicate shout came from the hall, revolving around Cheng Jianniang, Cheng Jianniang's mouth had a hint of a smile, as if looking at the bronze mirror on the side, looking, looking forward to...

The wedding dress is so beautiful....

"Rokuro?"

A woman shouted behind her.

Zhou Zhen's heartbeat almost stopped, his body stiffened, and he turned around like a thief.

"Your clothes are ready, have you tried them?" Mrs. Chen asked with a smile.

Zhou Zheng is the elder brother who sent his relatives, and he also prepared a wedding dress, but his parents were not there, so Huang handled it single-handedly.

Zhou Zhen lowered his head and hummed, turned his head and went out.

Mrs. Chen looked at the inner room and immediately frowned.

"Oh, you two children, who told you to wear them now? Is this played? Danniang, take your hands away and print dirty handprints, what can I do tomorrow. ”

When night fell, the family dispersed, and the silence of the past was restored.

The maidservant and Banqin in the room were still busy, looking at the boxes and bags, and checking over and over again to see if they were all loaded.

"Don't worry about what it can be." Cheng Jianniang looked at the nervous appearance of the two people and said.

Cheng Jianniang is now the most idle in the family, after washing, the little maid wiped her long hair in front of the window, and picked up a book casually.

"As long as there are people, there can be anything."

She said, looking at the book in her hand.

"For example, this book, it doesn't hurt if you don't bring it, go buy another volume..."

Before the words were finished, the maidservant strode over and reached out to take it.

"If you don't say it, forget it." She said, putting away the other books on the case, and beckoning Banqin to put them in the box.

Cheng Jianniang smiled.

"I'll have to see it." She said.

"Don't look at it today, it's like this every day, it's not the same once." The maidservant said, "I'll see tomorrow night." ”

The little maid couldn't help but stare at her.

Tomorrow is a cave house.

However, the bridegroom can't even welcome the kiss in the church, the cave room....the lady really has time.

It's just a pity, it's a cave night.

The little maid lowered her head and wiped the long black hair in her hand little by little, and tomorrow the black hair at this end will be pulled into the phoenix crown and become someone else's wife.

The night is deep, and the summer insects are murmuring.

"Ah Jing."

There was a slight call from the tent.

The attendant, who was sitting on the ground and napping, immediately woke up and knelt down before he could open his eyes.

"Your Highness, what do you want? But what's uncomfortable? Drink water? He asked, lifting the tent and going inside.

The dim night light penetrated the tent even more dimly, and the man on the couch stretched out his hands to sit up.

"The doctor said, don't get up." The waiter hurriedly helped and dissuaded, and asked worriedly what was wrong.

"I'm fine." King Jin'an said, hesitating, "Yes, tomorrow?" ”

The chamberlain smiled.

"Yes, it's tomorrow." He said.

While kneeling in front of the couch, he wrenched his fingers to calculate when the Taishi Bureau would go out to greet his relatives, when he would enter the door and get off the sedan chair, and when he would visit the hall and tell him one by one.

"....... Grandpa Yongxuan Guo will take over the kiss on your behalf, and the eldest princess and Li Hanlin will welcome you...."

With the chatter of the waiter, the king of Jin'an County looked calm, his breathing eased a lot, and suddenly he thought of something.

"That's the gown," he said.

The chamberlain was interrupted and stunned.

"Does Grandpa Xifu want to wear me too?" King Jin'an asked.

The chamberlain smiled and reached out to lift the curtain.

"Your Highness, where are yours?" He said, "Grandpa Guo doesn't wear it, and only the groom wears the wedding dress." ”

In the dim night, the wedding clothes on the hanger standing next to the bed blend with the night and the color cannot be seen.

"Okay, Your Highness, don't worry." The chamberlain smiled, "Don't worry too much, these are all rituals, and the most important thing is to live in the future." ”

King Jin'an hummed and slowly closed his eyes.

Wake up, tomorrow will come.

This day has come.
