Chapter 55: Great Joy
"Girl, Mama Chen is here, and the slave asks her to wait in the hall. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Peach Blossom greeted Han Qing and walked into the house. Peach Blossom and Lotus are used to calling Mama Chen, although Mama Chen is not a slave and has married Zhou Lai as his wife, Han Qing recognized Mama Chen as her aunt again, and it stands to reason that she should call Mrs. Zhou.
Han Qing had just returned from Doctor Chu, and she was very happy to hear that Mama Chen was here.
"Mama." Han Qing saw that Mama Chen was holding her big belly and hurriedly stopped her from standing up, reached over to help her sit back on the soft collapse by the window.
"The girl seems to have grown taller again, and Mama has made you a dress, and I don't know if the size fits the size." Mama Chen is a gentle and gentle beauty, and now she is still white, tender and bright, and she is not tired at all.
"Mama, why bother making these things, I can't wear my clothes, you are pregnant with a baby now, and you should be nourishing, if you are really idle, you should make a dress for my little brother." Han Qing was hindered by Mama Chen's pregnancy, so she just took her hand and shook it gently.
Lotus came in with a cup of rose tea and a glass of milk and said, "Girl, drink tea, grandma, your water is cold, this is milk, the girl said that you need to make up for something more in your body now." ”
"Supplement more calcium," Peach Blossom reminded her, "I don't know where the girl heard these new words." ”
Han Qing smiled, "I studied medicine with Grandpa Chu, and what I said must be right." He turned his head and asked Mama Chen, "Mama is here this time, Uncle Zhou is accompanied, are you not in a hurry to go back?" After Mama Chen and Zhou Lai became married, Han Qing changed her name to call Zhou Lai her uncle.
Mama Chen smiled and said, "Your Uncle Zhou didn't worry about me, so he followed." The marriage of the eldest prince is a big event, I am pregnant and not suitable for a wedding banquet, so we returned after sending the congratulatory gift. ”
Han Qing smiled and said, "Then wait for Mama to give birth to a baby and come back as a guest, my future sister-in-law is both gentle and virtuous, Mama will definitely like it." ”
Mama Chen lovingly smoothed Han Qing's sideburns and said, "Mama has also seen it this year, no matter how good the Xie family's family style is, the daughter-in-law that the eldest son wants to marry must be a good girl in ten thousand, as long as she treats my girl well, Mama is grateful in her heart." ”
"Mama." Han Qing had no impression of Xie Yu in her two lives, but Mama Chen loved her like her own mother and loved her, so her feelings for Mama Chen were unusual.
Han Qing looked at Mama Chen, and couldn't help but sigh that the world was really impermanent. It is said that because when Han Qing left Da'an County, he left the food in the space, and He You, the magistrate of Da'an County, not only fed the people in the suburbs of Beijing in Jinghe for fifteen years, but also relieved many disaster victims.
In the sixteenth year of Jinghe, Jiangnan personnel moved, and Cui Wenli, the secretary of the ministry, knew that Han Qing was quite taken care of by Da'an Zhixian when he was a child, and there was a layer of relationship between the grandmother, so with a stroke of the pen, He You was transferred to Songjiang Mansion to replace Bi Huixian's position as the prefect.
Mama Chen and her husband also happily followed her sister and brother-in-law to take office. Over the past year, the two have often come to Xie's house to visit Han Qing. Songjiang Prefecture is located in a hub port, and at the suggestion of Han Qing, Zhou Lai started a grocery business for overseas import and export, and has done well in the past year.
"Girl, the Yangzhou Gu family went to look for me a while ago. Last year, when they found Da'an County, I learned that the master of our family was the son of the Duke of Rongguo, and he even contributed to the Duke of Rongguo to find Hangzhou. Although their family was punished lightly this time, it also hurt their muscles and bones, saying that they wanted me to help connect with the He family's brother-in-law, I couldn't make up my mind, so after thinking about it, I still discussed it with the girl first. ”
Han Qing thought about what happened to the Gu family, and raised Xie Yu and Mama Chen with plenty of food and clothing, neither abusing nor marrying a bad old man. It can be seen from Xie Yu's head of the family and the servants that although the Gu family is powerful, it is not a big traitor. She didn't dare to be self-conscious, so she said, "Mama is here to give congratulatory gifts, and follow me to meet my grandmother and aunt, and I have to ask the elders about this." ”
Mama Chen smiled: "That's how it should be." Han Qing then sent someone to Tongyu first, and then the maid cleaned her face and changed her clothes again, and then took Mama Chen to Ruizhen Hall.
In the past year, Pei's and Cui's have also had frequent contact with Mama Chen, because she is Han Qing's nurse, and because she grew up serving Xie Yu since she was a child, Pei's is very happy to chat with Mama Chen, especially to know some things about her daughter in the past.
"You hold your stomach, don't do these false courtesies, and show Aunt Zhou's wife a seat." Pei likes Mama Chen very much, and because Han Qing recognizes Mama Chen as her aunt, she also admits that she is a serious relative.
After Mama Chen sent a congratulatory gift and said some auspicious words, Han Qing told her grandmother and aunt about the Gu family on the side. Finally, he asked, "Grandmother and aunt, what should be done about this?" ”
Pei's family learned from Mama Chen about the life of many daughters after they arrived at the Gu family, and the Gu family did raise their daughters seriously, although the purpose was not pure, but it was also regarded as a fine food and a dedication to cultivation.
As for the Gu family, if they really knew that their daughter was the concubine of the Xie family, they would not dare to hide it if they had the courage to do so. This is all because of the daughter's bad fate, the culprit has been punished, and the granddaughter has also returned to her side, so as not to anger the Gu family anymore.
Thinking of his daughter, Pei Shi couldn't help but feel sad, "When Mrs. Aunt went back, she told Master He that our Xie family would not be angry with the Gu family, this is all the luck of my hard-working daughter." ”
Han Qing knew that her grandmother was gradually looking away, so she comforted, "No matter what the Gu family has, it is not bad to the root in nature, and neither the mother nor the grandmother have been subjected to the Gu family's suffering, and they are already considered a kind family among the salt merchants." Now that I can help, I can also pay back the rice money that my mother and grandmother have eaten for many years. ”
Both the Pei family and the Cui family knew that if Xie Yu was sold into that unpopular place, it was unknown whether he would be able to marry alive, not to mention that some Jiangnan salt merchants treated thin horses as inappropriate people, such as the Gu family, they were also honest people in the salt merchants.
Pei Shi nodded and said, "What A-Qing said is right, within the principles, Lord He can ask my son Xie Zan for ideas." When my old lady comes back, I will bring a letter to your husband and wife. I asked her uncle of the Zhou family to inform her, and she will stay for one night tonight, and it will not be too late to leave tomorrow morning. ”
Mama Chen nodded yes, and on the second day, the husband and wife returned to Songjiang Mansion with Xie Heng's handwritten letter.
August 18 of the 17th year of Jinghe is the day of great joy for Xie Yi, the eldest son of the Xie family, to get married.
On this day, the Xie family is draped in red and hung with colors, red silk, red happy characters, red lanterns, wherever it comes into view, there is no place that is not warm and prosperous.
The family affair of the eldest son of the Xie family is a major event not only for Jiangnan, but also for the Great Qi Kingdom. The family Gaomen, who can count the number of Qi, sent their descendants to congratulate them half a month in advance, and several royal saints gave them treasures early to add makeup to the woman.
The team went out before dawn, and sprinkled the wedding money all the way to welcome the bride. Xie Yi was dressed in a red wedding dress and rode a white horse, followed by a group of noble sons of the gate valve family, but the eyes of the people of Hangzhou City were straight, and they didn't even have time to grab the money.
When it was auspicious, I only heard the deafening sound of firecrackers outside Xie's house, and the Han Qing sisters stood up excitedly, and Cui's was a little unable to sit still, and after a while, Mama Qiu came happily, "The bride is coming to the wedding hall." ”
I saw Yuan Jianing covering her head, led into the hall by Xie Yi, and then presided over the worship ceremony by the praiser, and sent it into the cave room, and everyone cheered in unison. It's not that Han Qing hasn't seen the scene of getting married in the church, in her previous life, only the Han family had so many brothers, and the scene of marrying a sister-in-law can be regarded as normal.
However, the Xie family followed the ancient etiquette a lot, and the wedding was extraordinarily grand, and several little girls watched it with relish, Han Qing couldn't wait to have a video recorder from the later generations to record this grand occasion, but now she can only regret it in her mind and keep it for later recollection.
"Third sister, let's go to the new house to see Sister Jianing." It was like holding Han Qing's hand, and he wanted to follow one by one.
At this time, many relatives and daughters went to the new house, and Han Qing nodded in agreement, but there were too many adults, and the girls couldn't enter the door at all.
finally entered the new house, and saw that Xie Yi was holding a weighing rod to pick up Yuan Jianing's hijab, and Han Qing couldn't help but be happy when he took a closer look. On weekdays, Jia Ning is dignified and elegant, but now she is painted white, white, red and red, and she can't see what she looks like.
But the ladies in the house kept praising and were very lively, and the little girls looked at each other and laughed, and felt very interesting. When Han Qing saw Xie Yi and Yuan Jianing drinking Heji wine, their ears were red, and they didn't know why, but they actually felt some envy, but when they turned their heads, they were dispersed by the laughter of the sisters.
"It's really interesting to see Sister Jianing's fingers blushing." Lu Xiang was the most narrow, and he laughed very happily.
"The sixth sister-in-law is much more beautiful than my fifth sister-in-law's wedding makeup, and my fifth sister-in-law didn't know if she offended anyone at the time, and the makeup was so thick that it fell straight down." Xie Yi ranked sixth in the Xie family's big house, the small big room in the Xie family's big house is naturally Xie Heng's family, the second and third rooms are Xie Heng's second and third uncles, and it is Xie Wantian, the tenth girl in the small third room, who speaks.
"The tenth sister said lightly, how do I feel that the fifth sister-in-law glanced at you." Han Qing's five senses were sensitive, and she noticed that the fifth sister-in-law of the Xiao Sanfang family was looking over here, and couldn't help but whisper a reminder.
Wan Tian hiccuped in fright, and didn't dare to speak again, and the little girl next to her couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
At this time, the etiquette was carried out to the bride and groom with the clothes to pick up red dates, peanuts and other fruits, the ladies in the house also did not care about the dignified and elegant image, as if revenge with the fruit to a pair of newlyweds, the little girls couldn't help but pick up a leak through the gap of the adults, to throw a few to the newlyweds, this link seems to be for the guests attending the wedding, a good hi and set up.
After the etiquette process was over, Han Qing and the others were still unsatisfied, but unfortunately they could only follow the adults out of the new house and play separately.
Yuan Jianing's palms were wet at this time, because she was alone with her newlywed husband, she was nervous and shy, she only felt as if she was having a high fever all over her body, and she unconsciously held her two hands together, and she was about to twist into twist.
Xie Yi is not much better, but after all, he is a man, and his skin is much thicker, and Yuan Jianing is not only the person set by the elders in the family, but also the girl who Xie Yi proposed after he took a fancy to him. So he calmed his excited heartbeat and parted his newlywed wife's entangled little hand, "Ah Ning, if you pinch it again, you're going to get bruised." ”
Yuan Jianing felt that her hands were numb, her heart was like a drum, she couldn't find her voice at all, she only muttered, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't raise her head.
But Xie Yi felt that the opportunity could not be lost, pinched his wife's small chin with one hand, and kissed him without saying anything, and when Yuan Jianing came back to his senses, Xie Dagongzi had already thrown down a sentence "Ah Ning rest assured, I will treat you well in the future", and then seemed to go out.
Yuan Jianing touched her numb and crispy mouth, a smile on the corner of her mouth, and the corners of her eyes were full of peach blossoms.
